Chapter 712: Someone Else

readx; Rui'er's sentence "There are also people from the White Lotus Sect in the palace" made Zhu Youzhen fall into contemplation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at what the White Lotus Sect has done, it is by no means an ordinary cult that is only for the purpose of defrauding money and deceiving the cultists to worship the sect leader, it obviously has a major political conspiracy! But what exactly is this conspiracy? Who is the White Lotus Sect in the palace? For what purpose does that "Venerable" want to protect himself? Why did you change your mind now?

With all kinds of questions, Zhu Youzhen continued to listen to Rui'er's narration: "After entering the palace, the White Lotus Sect never contacted my father again, which made my father happy. After that, the prince first went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and then came to Shaanxi to take up the domain, during this time the White Lotus Sect seemed to have disappeared, and Rui'er almost forgot about them.

"But just half a month ago, the prince was not in Qin Wangzhuang, and suddenly someone left a note in Rui'er's room, saying that my mother and sister wanted to see me!"

Zhu Youzhen shuddered when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "What... What the? Did you leave the note in your room? ”

"Yes!" Rui'er also frowned and said nervously, "The palace is extremely tightly guarded, and it is impossible for you to come in if you are not the prince's henchman!" It is said that the mana of the 'Venerable' is boundless, could it be that this note was sent in by the 'Venerable' with mana? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, but he knew very well in his heart: Rui'er was not the only one planted by the White Lotus Sect beside him, and there were other people who left the note! Who could this man be?

Rui'er didn't notice Zhu Youzhen's extremely ugly face, and continued: "Since parting more than ten years ago, Rui'er hasn't seen her mother and sister again, and she doesn't even know what they look like. Rui'er was originally... I should have hated my mother, but I don't know why, I just want to see them! ”

As she spoke, Rui'er shed tears of remorse again. Zhu Youzhen was shocked from his contemplation, and hurriedly comforted her: "This is also human nature. No matter what your mother is, she is your biological mother after all, and she is the one who gave you life. At that time, she may have had her own troubles. Besides, these things have nothing to do with your sister. ”

Rui'er thought so at the time. Rui'er sobbed and said, "Because I know that they are White Lotus Sectists, in order to avoid trouble, Meifeng ran into me and went out, but I didn't dare to tell the truth, I only said that I went to the temple to ask for a child."

"Later, I followed the address on the note and found the Wolong Temple in Xi'an City. But I didn't see my mother, only a girl who was born exactly like me, and as soon as we saw each other, we knew that we must be twin sisters. At that time, after we hugged and cried, she said that her name was Ma Hui'er, and I was a little unhappy at that time, because my father named her 'Zhou Leiniang'. Later, after saying two words, she asked Rui'er to spy on the prince, and secretly transferred the silver taels and materials of the palace little by little for the use of the 'Holy Sect'.

Rui'er got angry and asked her why she was like this. She looked embarrassed and said that she could only tell me in a whisper. Rui'er was really careless at that time, but I didn't expect her... She will even sneak attack her own sister! Rui'er was completely defenseless, she hit the acupoint, and fed some medicine, and fell asleep. Lord Wang, Rui'er is really stupid! ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Zhu Youzhen saw that Rui'er was getting more and more sad, so he had to persuade with a hippie smile, "It's not that I can do it, it's really that the enemy army is too cunning!" However, according to her husband, Lei'er still has a sisterly affection for you. ”

"That's right," Rui'er said as she wiped away her tears, "she transferred me from Wolong Temple to the secret passage of Xiangji Temple, except for delivering food, no one was allowed to approach, and Rui'er was not in danger. Lord, Rui'er has a reluctant request, I wonder if the prince can agree? ”

"You're trying to intercede for Lei'er, right?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "Don't worry, your husband feels the same as you, Lei'er is not a vicious person, otherwise she would not have stopped the White Lotus Sect from blowing up the river embankment." That day, her husband deliberately let her out of the temple, also to give her a way out. ”

"Lord Wang! Rui'er was moved to tears again, "Rui'er thanked the prince for his great kindness on behalf of her sister!" ”

In the next few days, the Qin soldiers continued to dispatch and capture many White Lotus Sectists from Linxian. After Sun Chuanting, who was far away in Tongguan, received Zhu Youzhen's secret letter, he also asked the guard general Zuo Guang to arrest some White Lotus disciples first. Seeing that the situation was not good, the White Lotus Sect in Xi'an soon fled away from the city, and the White Lotus Sect soon disappeared in Shaanxi.

But Zhu Youzhen knew that this was only a superficial phenomenon, and the foundation of the White Lotus Sect had not been damaged; Lei'er didn't know where to go, and none of the important leaders in the sect were caught. So far, Zhu Youzhen still lacks a deeper understanding of this cult.

But as time passed, Zhu Youzhen's tense nerves gradually relaxed. After all, this is just a cult, and there are too many things that need Zhu Youzhen to do.

First of all, as Hong Chengchou led his troops to Hubei, the number of officers and troops in Shaanxi suddenly decreased by tens of thousands, and some small bands of thieves and bandits became active again. Sun Chuanting is stationed in Tongguan and cannot be moved lightly, Zhou Yanru is a hands-off shopkeeper, and the heavy responsibility of suppressing thieves in the entire Shaanxi and Yansui regions is still pressed on Qin Bing, to be precise, on Zhu Youzhen.

In addition to arranging for the suppression of thieves, restoring people's livelihood is also an urgent task. The weather is getting cooler and cooler, this summer in addition to Jingyang County, other counties are almost out of harvest because of the drought, in the harsh winter, what do the people eat? If there is no food to eat, they will go back to the old path of thieves. Shaanxi finally has a bit of a recovery and can no longer afford such a toss. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen studied the business of the Huanghai Merchant Gang with Li Zhenyan and Zhu Cunqi almost every day, striving to earn more silver and buy more rice, so that when the price of rice soared in winter, he could use strategic reserves to stabilize prices.

Busy days always fly by, and two months pass in the blink of an eye. Of course, in addition to these troubles, there are also several happy events, the first of which is that Qi Meifeng is pregnant. Originally, she discussed with Li Zhenyan and tried not to conceive before Rui'er, and forced Zhu Youzhen to use a fish bladder every time she had sex; But the quality of this thing can't be compared with Durex in the previous life after all, and Zhu Youzhen is more "industrious", so he still accidentally hits.

The concubine was happy, and the palace was full of joy. Rui'er's body has also improved a lot, although she still can't practice martial arts, she can still move around and take care of daily affairs. She is more concerned about Qi Meifeng than Zhu Youzhen, and she spends most of the day with Qi Meifeng, for fear that she will have fetal gas.

Then there is the fact that the crops in the experimental field are growing well and are about to be harvested. Of course, Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, he had almost grown up in the experimental field in the past few days, and he was looking forward to the moment when heavy sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug out of the land. After this season's harvest, he can immediately expand his planting, and maybe in a few years, the food problem that has plagued Daming for a long time will be solved!

At dusk that day, Zhu Youzhen was inspecting the field, and Shi Biao came to report that the missionary Maldini had asked to see him. He said impatiently, "Ask about the church again, right?" Let's just say that there is chaos in Xi'an City now, and this king is coordinating to let him teach with peace of mind, and he will soon have eyebrows! ”

"This time it's not about asking the church." Shi Biao whispered, "He also led a foreigner and said that he had something important to see!" ”
