The main hall of the Yamen of the East Factory, under the plaque of "ahead and behind".

After listening to Wang Xian's words, Zhao Yingxiao leaned back and back, and when he saw the factory supervisor laughing, the leader of the East Factory naturally laughed loudly, just like a collective sheep madness.

After laughing, Zhao Ying took the handkerchief offered by his subordinates, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and teased Wang Xiandao: "Uncle's imagination is too rich. A group of liars who danced gods in the poor countryside made up nonsense to defraud the people of their money, and even frightened the dignified Jinyi Wei Dudu. Zhao Ying looked at Wang Xian with a sneering face and said, "Should I say that the uncle is serious or naïve?!" ”

Er Hei Deng behind Wang Xian was furious, pointed at Zhao Ying and scolded: "Dead eunuch, how can you talk?!" ”

This is the territory of the East Factory, seeing that his factory was scolded, how could Zhao Ying's apprentices and grandchildren bear it? Hula all stood up, pointed at Erhei and scolded: "One-eyed dragon, do you want to be completely blind?!" ”

Although Jinyiwei is away from home, there are few people, but how can he show weakness, and he also followed Erhei to spray at those dead eunuchs, and his mouth was full of genitals!

"Shut up!" Seeing that Zhao Ying's face was getting more and more ugly, Wang Xian waved his hand, stopped his subordinates and said: "Don't scold the bald man in front of the monk, don't put the chicken on your mouth at every turn." As he spoke, he reprimanded the eunuchs of Dongchang and said, "You are also disabled, and we are also disabled here, so why bother attacking each other?" ”

The eunuchs' noses were crooked, and Wang Xian asked Zhao Ying with a straight face: "Gonggong Zhao, do you say that what I said is reasonable?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Ying has already learned a lesson, he can compete with Wang Xian in martial arts, fight his heart, and play tricks, but he can't play tricks, that's hitting a stone with an egg! I had to hold back my anger, sneered and said, "Uncle has nothing else to do, please go back first." For the New Year, everyone still has a lot of things. ”

"Father-in-law Zhao," Wang Xian said with a straight expression: "Usually our two families fight, but in this kind of matter, we have to work together." Just moved the capital and caught up with the New Year, it is said that someone wants to set fire to the imperial city, that is, to light a fire in the capital, we can't eat and walk. ”

"The place outside the imperial city is the task of the Jinyi Guard." Zhao Ying didn't go in and said: "If the emperor is on fire, he will only blame the uncle, not our family." After a pause, he said quietly: "As for the palace, the security is so tight, you can't fly in with your wings, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"In short, it's better to be careful." Wang Xian said bitterly: "Prevention is better than prevention, of course it is best not to have an accident." ”

"Taught." Zhao Ying is not salty or indifferent.

Wang Xian saw that it was useless to say too much, so he got up and said goodbye and left, and Zhao Ying sent him to the door and turned back to sit down. Ma De and the others buried Wang Xian and said, "What is it! Dare to run to the east factory to give instructions! Even if we have to give instructions, we should give them them! ”

"That's it!" The rest of the people also looked disdainful and said: "Alarmist! I have never heard of it in all dynasties, someone can give the palace a point! ”

"Old Ancestor, don't pay attention to him, what should we do!"

There was a loud 'pop', and all the eunuchs who were chattering turned into gourds. They looked at Zhao Ying worriedly, only to see that the eunuch of Dongchang slowly raised his hand, and the Jingdezhen porcelain bowl used to serve tea to Wang Xian just now had turned into a finely crushed powder......

Zhao Ying's face was gloomy, blowing the fine powder on his hands, his eyes coldly swept the eunuchs, and hummed: "A group of stupid things! ”

All the eunuchs lowered their heads and obediently listened to Zhao Ying's reprimand.

"What kind of character is Wang Xian?!" Zhao Ying said coldly: "Can he talk nonsense without basis?!" How could it be nonsense to let someone like him come and give a solemn warning to the Governor?! ”

"What the ancestor said is......" Ma De and others called a helpless, and said in their hearts, it is you who sneer, and you are the one who attaches so much importance to it, you are so fickle, how can we make a sycophant?

"From now on," Zhao Ying naturally ignored the thoughts of his subordinates, and ordered in a deep voice: "The defense in the palace must be strengthened, and those who enter and leave the palace must be searched." In addition to checking the waist card, you also have to recognize people, and there are colluding people to sit together! ”

"Whoa!" All the eunuchs hurriedly responded in unison with solemn expressions......

Leaving the Dongchang Yamen, Er Hei asked in a rough voice: "My lord, do you say that it is useful to mention this?!" ”

"It works." Wang Xian said lightly: "That duplicitous old eunuch is actually very cautious. I just don't mention this awakening, and he will be more vigilant at this juncture. ”

"Hmm." Erhei said reassuringly: "That's great." ”

"I hope so." Wang Xian was still frowning, he couldn't relax for a day if he didn't figure out the plans of those White Lotus Sect disciples.

Back at the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, Wang Xian summoned the Jinyi Guard cadres and announced to them that they had entered a state of emergency - from now until the eighteenth day of the first month, all of them will cancel their vacations, make every effort to search and investigate, and be sure to dig out all the White Lotus disciples hiding in the gutter!

Jin Yiwei has been investigating the White Lotus Sect for several months, but he has been in a fog and unpredictable about this mysterious and huge organization. The brothers had been holding their breath all along, and now that the Lord had finally ordered a nationwide raid, everyone was in high spirits and responded in unison: "Oh! ”

For outlaws, peace and stability with nothing to do is the greatest torture, and being able to do a great job during the Chinese New Year is the best New Year's gift.

"But," Wang Xian's words changed, and he almost put them out: "It coincides with the Spring Festival and has just moved the capital, and the envoys of various countries have not yet left Beijing, so they cannot be openly searched and arrested at this time, and they must be secretly arrested at night after the intelligence is accurate!" After a pause, his gaze swept over everyone: "In short, it can't affect the festive situation created by His Majesty!" ”

"Yes......" The leader of the brocade guards responded without hesitation, although the governor's orders, some of them want the horses to run fast and the horses not to eat grass, but the more challenging the errand, the more interesting it is, isn't it? .

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, the crackling firecrackers did not stop from morning to night, and at night, it was even louder, and all kinds of fireworks rose into the sky...... The little girl who grew up in the grassland has never seen such a lively scene.

Wang Xian was setting off fireworks to make his daughter happy, and at the same time looking at the fire that bloomed in the sky, his whole heart was uncontrollably twisted, and every time the sound of firecrackers sounded, it could make his heart tremble...... Fortunately, after so many years, his disguised kung fu has been perfected, and he didn't let Ah Yu notice anything unusual, the little girl had enough headaches, and said that she would accompany the adults to keep the New Year, but she didn't stay up for long, and fell asleep in Wang Xian's arms.

Wang Xian gently put the little girl on the bed, kissed her white forehead again and again, and then stuffed a red envelope under her pillow.

When he got up, Bao Yin laughed and asked, "What is such a young child giving her money for?" ”

"It's New Year's money." Wang Xian explained with a smile: "Bless my daughter's new year, safe and well." ”

"So," Bao Yin stretched out his hand and smiled, "I want it too." ”

"It's okay to give it to you, but it's to kowtow." Wang Xian smiled and took out a red envelope and said, "Come, kowtow to the official, and the official will give you a big red envelope." ”

"Then I'll give you one, will you kowtow to me?"

"Be bold, dare to be disrespectful to officials, see how I clean you up!"

The two laughed for a while, and Wang Xian said, "It's almost time to take over the gods." Then he led Baoyin and Lingxiao, as well as Wu Wei, Erhei, Zhou Yong and others, and solemnly went to the courtyard to raise incense to receive God. The God of Wealth is in the east, the God of Fortune is in the south, the God of Fortune is in the northeast, the God of Joy is in the southwest, the God of Tai Sui is in the southwest, everyone kneels down one by one according to the direction, after the bow is finished, stand solemnly and wait for the incense to be exhausted, and then kowtow, and finally take off the incense root, the statue, the ingot, etc., and put it into the money and grain basin that has been prepared in the courtyard and burn.

At the same time, pine branches and sesame straw were also ignited. After receiving the gods, Zhou Yong and others spread the sesame straw from the street door to the door of the house, so that people walk on it and make a crackling sound, which is called stepping on the year, also known as stepping on the house, which has the meaning of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil.

After completing the necessary homework for Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xian looked at Baoyin apologetically, and Baoyin said reasonably: "Go, official business is important." ”

Wang Xian nodded and said softly, "I'll be back at dawn." After speaking, he went out of the house accompanied by Erhei and others, and went back to the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

The torches in the Jinyi Guard's yamen illuminate the sky, bright as day, and there is the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, but inside is a solemn atmosphere of swords and guns, and the heavily armed Jinyi guards and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion have been assembled. The soldiers stood solemnly and silently waited for the order of the peak.

When Wang Xian appeared at the door, the officers who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly greeted him and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, you are ready, you can give orders at any time!" ”

"All the people who are going to be arrested are eyed?" Wang Xian nodded, and surrounded by the officers of the Jinyi Guard, walked to the eaves of the corridor and stood still.

"All a hundred targets are on target." Deng Xiaoxian replied in a deep voice.

"Good!" Wang Xian nodded, his eyes swept over the dense subordinates in the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "The biggest difference between arresting people during the Spring Festival this time and the usual ones is to try to make as few movements as possible and not to alarm the people. But we can't let the cultists slip through the net! ”

"Whoa!" More than 1,000 subordinates responded in unison.

"This official will let people make good dumplings, and wait for you to come back triumphantly!" Wang Xian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

"Yes!" The officers and men responded in unison again, and then under the leadership of the officers, they departed and disappeared into the streets of the capital......

In the alley of Meat Market Street, several butcher-like men were soaking hot pot, and the courtyard door was suddenly kicked open. Several men's faces changed, they felt the swords hidden under the table, and just as they were about to get up, the windows had been smashed, and more than a dozen black muzzles were pointed at them.

In the well-shielded room of the willow alley, a group of believers were bowing down to a statue of Guanyin, and officials and soldiers armed with swords and guns poured in, shouting: "Don't move!" The believers collapsed on the ground in a fit of fright......
