Chapter 2514 Gui Zijuan white lotus rises, wind and cloud gather

 Feng Ziying was woken up in Xichun's bed.

 Shen Yixiu is pregnant.

The specific time of pregnancy should really be the two days when Feng Ziying made such wild promises, but she didn't expect that her bold words would actually hit the target.

 So I was supposed to rest in Shen Yixiu's house, so I came to Xichun's house.

Xichun is also seventeen years old and is no longer a little girl. Although she is not as plump and charming as Tanchun, she is a little more pitiful and elegant.

Especially the soft and delicate posture between the bed, which made Feng Ziying feel a little more pity.

Thinking of the story in "A Dream of Red Mansions" about the great enlightenment and enlightenment in the third spring and becoming a monk, it sounds like a free and easy way out of the world, but who knew that it was also a choice made out of all kinds of desperation?

"What's the matter?" Feng Ziying was still a little dizzy. She drank a few more drinks in the evening and was very excited in bed. Naturally, she couldn't help but have some fun and affection. She was sleeping soundly after working hard, but she was disturbed by someone.

Shen Yixiu is pregnant. As a eldest lady, it is certainly something to be happy about.

Especially since Tong Niang is several years old and Shen Yixiu has recovered a long time ago, everyone hopes that she can get pregnant soon.

 But in the past few years, I have seen that the second and third brothers have continued to blossom and bear fruit. On the contrary, the eldest brother was the first to raise children, but now he has fallen to the last.

Now that even Baochai, who has always been low-key, has grown pregnant, everyone's attention has naturally turned to Shen Yixiu and Lin Daiyu.

Now that the eldest son can finally feel proud, even Second Sister You, Li Min, Li Qi and Xichun breathed a sigh of relief. If Shen Yixiu has a male heir, they will no longer have any pressure to have children.

"I heard from people in the outer courtyard that they are from the Ministry of Punishment..." Xichun's personal maid, who was waiting outside, entered the painting and said cautiously.

Feng Ziying, who was about to get up and get dressed, suddenly lay down again, and took advantage of the situation to wrap her arms around Xichun's waist, which was like a slender body, "Xingbu? Why did the Xingbu find me here? I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? Yes. Didn't you look in the wrong place?"

"I heard from outside that something happened. It seems to be a matter between the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture, as well as Long Jinwei. I want to ask you to discuss it." Ru Hua replied outside.

Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown when she heard something was said. The Ministry of Punishment, Shuntian Mansion, and Long Jinwei, besides the White Lotus Sect, what else could be happening?

 Some time ago, I heard that Han Xu, Jia Yucun and Zhang Jin were discussing about preparing to take action against the White Lotus Sect. The first to bear the brunt were the White Lotus sects in Daxing and Wanping counties, as well as the White Lotus sects in Jingying and Shangsanqinjun.

Feng Ziying from the White Lotus Sect in the army had already specially greeted Xiao Ruxun, and Tu Wenxiu also told them to deal with it carefully. It is best to calmly mobilize these people relatively dispersedly, and if necessary, they can take action at the same time, in one fell swoop. solve.

 The other thing is to go to the Sanqinjun side.

 The Third Guards Army is more troublesome, because they are responsible for guarding the palace, so once they take action, they cannot make any mistakes. Otherwise, if these people rush into the palace and cause turmoil, the Ministry of War will bear too much pressure.

However, the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture tend to move some core backbones in Daxing and Wanping counties first, such as Zhang Cuihua and Zhou Yin.

However, the whereabouts of Zhang Cuihua and Zhou Yin have been elusive, especially Zhou Yin. Some information obtained from Long Jinwei said that Zhou Yin should have some connections with the palace.

Now that Emperor Wan Tong has ascended the throne, he has carried out a major clean-up of the palace. Many people have been excluded from the inner palace, which is the so-called East and West Six Palaces plus Fengxian Palace, Yangxin Palace, Qianqing Palace, and Jiaotai Palace. , Kunning Palace is the core area.

Precisely because Zhou Yin's whereabouts were unknown and his relationship with the palace had not been clarified, it was delayed until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture felt that they could not delay it any longer and needed to take action as soon as possible.

Judging from various intelligence sources, the activities of the White Lotus Sect in Bazhou, Gu'an, Zhuozhou, and Wuqing are becoming increasingly active, and the signs of an uprising are becoming more and more obvious. There are also such cases in Baoding and Zhending. trend, so the Ministry of Punishment discussed with Shuntian Prefecture to choose a move to deal with the White Lotus Sect in the capital city first to ensure the safety of the city. As for the rest, it will be determined according to the situation.

Feng Ziying did not participate in the discussions between the Criminal Department, Shuntian Mansion and Long Jinwei, because he was not very clear about the investigation of the White Lotus Sect in the later period. The specific operator should decide when to take action.

Han Xu, Jia Yucun and Zhang Jin are all veterans, so they can't even grasp the timing.

It seems that Han Xu and Jia Yucun made some mistakes in their actions, and the mistakes were not small, otherwise they would not have informed themselves at this time.

But Feng Ziying felt that there wouldn't be a big problem. If something big happened, it would be someone from the Ministry of War who would notify him, instead of someone from the Ministry of Punishment.

Lying in bed without wanting to get up, Feng Ziying really didn't want to get involved in these things. There are so many things going on in all aspects of the Zhou Dynasty, and they are all urgent things. You can't stop worrying about them, and you don't have the ability to do them. After everything has been done, it is only right to not take charge of one's duties.

But Han Xu sent someone here, and it would be bad for him to ignore it. What's more, the affairs of the White Lotus Sect really worried him, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to completely ignore it.

While sighing, he wandered around Xichun's body, which made Xichun feel funny and confused, "Mr. sir, what's wrong with you? There are people waiting outside."

"Just wait. It shouldn't be my business in the first place. I'm asking for help. Why can't I just wait a little longer? Who is so dedicated in the middle of the night and jumps up as soon as he hears the call and puts his arms around a woman? Don't you sleep well?" Feng Ziying said angrily.

Facing Feng Ziying's laziness, she was speechless. After all, she had never experienced such a situation, and she didn't know how to persuade Feng Ziying. She could only shrink into Feng Ziying's arms and let Feng Ziying's evil clutches wreak havoc.

After a while, Feng Ziying stood up angrily and asked someone to come in and dress herself.

　　It was already Yinchu when we arrived at the official residence of the Ministry of Justice.

The lights inside the Xingbu Public House were brightly lit, which showed that these people had stayed up all night.

Seeing Feng Ziying come in, Han Xu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came over and pulled Feng Ziying, "Ziying, let's go, let's talk inside."

 “Where is Duke Ji Hui?” Feng Ziying did not see Liu Yishen, and felt that under this situation, Liu Yishen should be present.

"Ji Hui had another migraine the day before yesterday. He was dizzy and had an unbearable headache. He was lying at home." Han Xu said with a wry smile.

Feng Ziying shook her head. Liu Yishen was feeling unwell at this time, so the burden fell entirely on Han Xu. "What happened?"

"Starting yesterday, the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture, together with Long Jinwei, took measures to arrest the backbone of the White Lotus Sect in Daxing and Wanping counties. The initial progress was very smooth. Zhang Cuihua, the core leader in the capital city, was captured and mastered. The whereabouts of Wang Haoli, who is known as the Young Master in the White Lotus Sect, was escaped during the process of capturing Wang Haoli. It can be determined that Wang Haoli's escape was informed by their internal agents in Wanping County Yamen, as well as internal agents from the Beijing camp and the patrol camp. Acceptance,…”

　　Feng Ziying’s head got bigger as soon as she heard this.

 Involving the Beijing camp, there are also patrol camps. The patrol camps, like the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, are under the jurisdiction of the Patrol City Procuratorate, not the Ministry of War. This is a bit broad.

"Wanping County Government Office?" Feng Ziying asked: "Who in the County Government Office would know such confidential information about your arrest of Wang Haoli?"

"An inspector from the Inspection Department needed to be arrested in the city. Wang Haoli was hiding in Wutiao Hutong in Yibeifang, which is under the jurisdiction of Wanping County, so he notified the inspector. Who would have thought that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect? Congregation, we didn’t notice it before, so…”

Han Xu was also quite upset. Originally, this arrest operation should have been quite perfect.

From Zhang Cuihua’s words, the Xingbu has basically grasped the general structure of the entire White Lotus Sect.

From the leader Wang Sen to the three sons of Wang Sen below, the eldest Wang Haoli, also known as the eldest young master, the second Wang Hao righteousness, and the third Wang Haoxian, also known as the second young master and the third young master, are all quite powerful.

In addition to Wang Sen himself, there are also a large number of disciples and disciples under his command, such as Zhang Cuihua, Zhou Yin, An Bao, Mi Bei, Zhang Hailiang, Xu Hongru, Gao Yingchen, Li Guoyong, etc., who have developed their power in Beizhi, Shandong, and Nanzhi respectively. , and Wang Sen’s three sons also have their own supporters.

In contrast, although there are White Lotus Sect and various derived parties in places such as Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, they are not closely connected with Wang Sen, and they even just listen to the tune but not the propaganda.

Wang Haoli is the strongest in the capital city, or this is the sphere of influence that Wang Sen assigned to his eldest son. Zhang Cuihua and Zhou Yin's party all belong to Wang Haoli's faction. Who would have thought that Zhang Cuihua would snare him, but Wang Haoli escaped. , and Zhou Yin is probably with Wang Haoli, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

“Escaped in Yibeifang? Can we be sure that we have escaped from the city?” Feng Ziying asked.

Yibifang is located in the southwest corner of the outer city.

The outer city is not as heavily guarded as the inner city. As long as the city gate is closed, it is much easier to conduct searches and arrests. However, although the outer city is also a city in name and surrounded by city walls, it is much more desolate.

The area of ​​Yibeifang is larger than that of Dashi Yongfang, but the population may not even be one-tenth of Dashi Yongfang. Many places are deserted and uninhabited, and there are also a large number of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples here. It is difficult for you to conduct a comprehensive search in this area. Even if you have to use the manpower of Ni Er and others, it will be difficult to achieve the desired results.

"I'm not sure. The three areas of Yibeifang, Yinanfang and Baizhifang are too large to be searched, and You'anmen..." Han Xu pondered for a moment.

It’s still twelve o’clock. Let’s save the brothers’ guaranteed monthly tickets for Lao Rui.
