  Chapter 2355 Guizi Juan on Uncle Bai Lianlang’s Conspiracy

   Qingwen came to find Feng Ziying because Shen Zizheng came.

   I heard that my brother-in-law is here, so Feng Ziying naturally wants to see her.

   Walking into the room, I saw Shen Yixiu talking with Shen Zizheng, and seeing Shen Yixiu smiling sweetly, he was obviously very happy for his brother-in-law.

   "Junyong is here, don't leave at noon, it's time for dinner soon, let's eat with your sister and me here."

  Feng Ziying knew that Shen Zizheng came here mostly to discuss business with herself, but Yixiu is not an outsider, so naturally there is no need to avoid it, and the siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, and eating at the same table is more lively.

   "Don't worry about it over there?" Shen Yixiu asked in surprise, she knew that someone from the Jia family came, but she didn't have a deep relationship with the Jia family, so naturally she didn't need to meet.

"Never mind, they went to Longfu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, maybe they will eat vegetarian food there." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "It's hard to take a rest for a day, and I'm happy to have a leisurely time. When Junyong comes, let's drink Two cups."

  Seeing that her husband offered to have a drink with her younger brother, Shen Yixiu was also very happy, and smiled, "That concubine will also accompany you two to have a drink."

   All I drink is Shaoxing rice wine, which is soft and pleasant in the mouth, very suitable for sipping slowly.

"It seems that the Ministry of Punishment is making a lot of progress?" Feng Ziying picked up a chopsticks of chicken marrow bamboo shoots in deep thought, and said slowly: "Why haven't I heard much news from the Ministry of Punishment during the time I've been back? Could it be that the Ministry of Punishment is still blocking the Ministry of War?" No news?"

"Ziying, you can't say that. The Ministry of Punishment also has its rules. Many things are still in the verification stage. The scope of the White Lotus Sect's involvement is too wide, beyond your imagination, and all parties, including the imperial court and local government, are involved. Among them, there are quite a few, and it is said that it is not in accordance with the rules for me to talk to you today, but you are the right servant of the Ministry of War, so it is not a big problem to tell you in advance."

  Shen Zizheng appeared very calm, his tone was calm and gentle, but he was very sure.

  Feng Ziying had anticipated the infiltration of the White Lotus Sect in the government, but generally it should be mostly in the local government. If it is in the court, it is relatively rare.

   "Junyong, I'm afraid I know more about the White Lotus Sect than you do." Feng Ziying raised her hand to signal, "This is the bad goose palm from Huzhou. Try it. You should have it in your hometown, but the taste may not be the same."

Shen Zizheng picked up a goose palm, tasted it, and nodded: "Well, almost, Jiangnan taste, it is memorable, it is not easy to eat original Jiangnan dishes in Beijing, your cook is very good , but more importantly, there must be suitable materials.”

"If you like it, Junyong, you might as well come here a few more times. Tongniang also misses you as uncle, and your sister also hopes that you can come and talk to her more." Feng Ziying smiled and said: "The White Lotus Sect is in Yongping Mansion. Very rampant, I stayed in Yongping Mansion for too short a time, I only had time to do some initial investigations, and communicated with the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei, Shifokou should be the old nest of the White Lotus Sect, but Wang The family should have been hiding long ago, there is no longer their backbone, only some foolish men and women who believe in religion are left."

"Well, I will come when I have time." Shen Zizheng continued: "The White Lotus Sect is nominally based on the Wang family, but in fact it is not the case. There are various branches in various places. It can only be said that the Wang family is in Among them, there is greater influence. For example, Bailian in Fengzhou has little relationship with the Wang family, and the same is true in Shanxi, but the Wang family has greater influence in Beizhili, Shandong, and Nanzhili. It is in Beizhi and Shandong, where many local leaders are disciples of the Wang clan, and under the command of Wang Sen and his son, they have great potential power."

   "I'm afraid there is no trace of Wang's father and son at all?" Feng Ziying asked, "Where is Long Jinwei?"

"Long Jinwei is probably not as good as our Ministry of Criminal Justice. They don't pay much attention to this matter." Shen Zizheng shook his head: "Wang's father and son and several important disciples have disappeared now, like Zhang Cuihua and Zhou Yin in Beijing, by the way. Mi Bodhisattva from the counties in the south of Tianfu, Bazhou and Wushuang who started to develop in Baoding, Anbao from Zhending, Li Guoyong from northern Lu, Xu Hongru from southern Lu, many of them we only hear their names now, but we don’t even know their names. I don't even know my real identity, let alone my appearance, it's just passed on by word of mouth,..."

  Feng Ziying's heart sank.

  It seems that although the Ministry of Criminal Justice has made progress, it still stays at a relatively superficial level of investigation. It has not yet obtained more specific and detailed information on the leaders and network structures of various regions.

  Beizhi and Shandong are the two most dangerous areas, especially on the Beizhi side. There are also many Bailian disciples hiding in Jizhen and Xuanfu Army. If they really want to erupt at a critical moment, the harm cannot be underestimated.

   "Then what progress has your Ministry of Punishment made?" Feng Ziying frowned.

"We have roughly found out quite a few hiding places in the capital city. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your help. Shuntian Mansion has very good staff, and that drunk King Ni Er is very good to all the three religions and nine streams in the city." Familiar, helped us point out a lot of clues,..."

Shen Zizheng took a bite of the roasted deer preserved by Shen Yixiu, and chewed: "We have roughly grasped Zhang Cuihua's whereabouts, but we are not sure yet. If Zhang Cuihua can be caught, then her two apprentices, Mibemi Bodhisattva He Wushuang has a huge amount, so he can't escape."

   "It's not that simple. Zhang Cuihua can't direct Mi Bei and Zhang Hailiang now." Feng Ziying shook her head.

Although he had been away from Shuntian Mansion for two years, he knew at that time that Zhang Cuihua's two apprentices were already full-fledged and developed independently, and they were not too constrained by his teacher Zhang Cuihua. The southern states and counties of Tianfu are the sphere of influence of Mi Bodhisattva.

"We also know this, but they have always had a very close relationship. Mibei should be hiding near the outskirts of Beijing. Zhuozhou, Huo County, Dong'an, Tongzhou and even Tianjin Wei have all seen her. Zhang Hailiang is in He was active in Bazhou, Xiongxian, Rongcheng, Gaoyang, and Renqiu, and some people have seen him in Cangzhou."

  Shen Zizheng has been honed in the Ministry of Punishment for so long, and he is no longer as lacking in self-confidence as before, and he speaks with confidence.

  In his opinion, the Ministry of Punishment where he works is the most professional. Although this brother-in-law is the right servant of the Ministry of War, he has a specialization in surgery, which is incomparable to him.

"Well, are you planning to hang on Zhang Cuihua's line, and dig out Mi Bei and Zhang Hailiang by the way?" Feng Ziying frowned, "Isn't it easy? It is said that Mi Bei has several substitutes, and now I don't even know her age. Some say that Mi Bei is in his early thirties, some say that Mi Bei is in his twenties, some say that Mi Bei and Zhang Cuihua are actually sisters, and there are even more rumors about Zhang Hailiang. Monks, Taoists, or ordinary people say no one,…"

"These monsters are used to putting on makeup, which is normal." Shen Zizheng murmured, "You said that it is really difficult for these two people to catch their whereabouts, but Zhang Cuihua, we are sure, and we can find them through Zhang Cuihua. Let Mi Bei and Zhang Hailiang get some clues."

  Feng Ziying nodded. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has been engaged in this for so long, and it is in vain to provide them with a lot of clues. If there is no progress, it is too unreasonable.

"Okay, you two have been talking about business for so long, the food is getting cold, eat the food first..." Shen Yixiu also knew that her husband and younger brother were talking about business, so she didn't intervene until now. They eat and drink first.

  After the meal, Shen Zizheng played with Tong Niang for a while, and then talked with Feng Ziying about the current plans of the Ministry of Punishment.

  White Lotus Sect is rampant in Beizhi and Shandong, and also rampant in Nanzhili, but it is mainly concentrated in Jiangbei, and Xuzhou, Huai'an, and Fengyang are more severe.

  Because of the confrontation with Nanjing, the Ministry of Punishment’s investigation in Nanzhili lags behind. Once the court and Nanjing reach an agreement, the Ministry of Punishment will start to investigate in Nanzhili. It is estimated that the situation is not optimistic.

   "Mr. Ji Hui and Mr. Yu Chen are not on good terms?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"Huh, let's get along." Shen Zizheng had also heard about the disputes between the two big men in the ministry, but he knew that this brother-in-law had a deep relationship with Han Yu, and that Liu Yixiu was the backbone of Jiangnan scholars, and that he had a relationship with Feng Ziying. Relations are not good.

   "What do they think about the White Lotus Sect?" Feng Ziying was more concerned about this.

"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to it. Lord Shang Shu basically never asked, Lord Zuo Shilang asked occasionally, and didn't give much instructions. We are investigating by ourselves. Fortunately, they didn't set up obstacles for us. In addition, Dragon Forbidden The Wei side also came to contact from time to time, so there was no trouble in the department."

  Shen Zizheng got a little angry when he mentioned this, so he didn't care about it, and he relied on his own team to investigate. Fortunately, the people from Shuntian Mansion were more supportive, and the foundation laid in the early stage was good, so that such progress can be made.

"I can talk to Mr. Yu Chen. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be negligent. I mentioned it to him." Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Maybe he did it on purpose. If he really wants to come here with great fanfare to ask about this I'm afraid Ji Huigong will cause trouble for you."

  Shen Zizheng suddenly realized, and patted his head: "It is indeed possible. Although Master Han didn't ask much, he still gave a lot of help. No wonder they all kept silent and just focused on doing their own things."

  Feng Ziying laughed.

   This Liu Yixuan and Han Yu were not on the right track. They belonged to the northern and southern scholar groups. Han Yu got his own reminder and must know the threat of the White Lotus Sect. This kind of secret support is the best help.

  And Liu Yixiu may not be aware of Han Yu's secret support. If Han Yu made a big fanfare, he would not be able to deal with it. Now that he secretly supports him, he pretends not to know, and everyone can get along with it.
