The continuous crossbow fire rate is very fast, and the Jin Yiwei people are on horseback, allowing them to chase the White Lotus Cult.
"King Divine Envoy, their crossbows are so powerful that our brothers can't even fight them!"
They didn't even have shields, so they could only find a temporary place to hide in the face of the rain of arrows, but where could they hide at this moment.
However, in the distance, there are more cavalry galloping towards them. These are the cavalry of Yingtian Guards Qianhu Station.
They arrived a step slower because the news was late.
Behind them, more troops gathered, and all those who could be mobilized near Yingtian were mobilized.
The people from the White Lotus Sect were chasing people in front, while those coming from behind were trying to put out the fire, fearing that Zhu Jinghong was up to no good.
"Thirteenth Master, are you okay?" Wang Jie called from outside.
The situation around the yard has been brought under control. Soldiers are working hard to put out the fire, while Wang Jie and others are asking questions at the gate.
Standing on his left and right were Li Wenzhao and others, as well as Qianhu who was guarding Qianhu Station.
The courtyard door was opened, and Zhu Jinghong walked out, his expression full of solemnity.
"See Thirteenth Master!" Everyone saluted.
"Li Wenzhao, why are you here?" Zhu Jinghong asked.
Li Wenzhao replied: "I discovered that there was a traitor from the White Lotus Sect and speculated that it might be detrimental to the Thirteenth Master, so I immediately led my subordinates to protect the Thirteenth Master!"
"Very good, thank you!" Zhu Jinghong replied.
"These people are White Lotus cult bandits?"
Zhu Jinghong had heard the term White Lotus Sect many times before, but he never thought that the other party would target him.
Of course, it's normal for people to keep an eye on him. Who makes him the legitimate son of the old Zhu family?
Li Wenzhao replied: "Exactly!"
Zhu Jinghong nodded: "You are still capable of doing things!"
These words were a full affirmation of Li Wenzhao, which made him feel relieved.
Before arriving, Li Wenzhao was really worried that Zhu Jinghong would hold him accountable.
After all, Jinyiwei is responsible for investigating and suppressing the White Lotus Sect, and now that such a big trouble has occurred, they are responsible for everything.
Anyway, at this moment, Li Wenzhao felt extremely lucky that at least his family's lives had been saved.
"Fortunately, there is Chen Yuntai, otherwise I would be afraid..." Li Wenzhao did not dare to think further.
Not only Li Wenzhao felt lucky, but everyone in the Xue family in the other courtyard was also crying with joy at this moment.
Although it was safe, the fear just now had not dissipated, and it was normal to cry.
After a lot of work, the soldiers extinguished the flames, and green smoke gradually rose from the scene.
Because there were horses chasing them, the White Lotus cultists were easily chased and killed, but the Jinyiwei people did not kill them and captured as many people as possible alive.
Wang Xianxiang and Lu Jian were also among the survivors, and they were caught by Chen Yuntai.
"Master Qianhu, these two are the leaders of the thieves!" Chen Yuntai escorted the people in front of Zhu Jinghong.
He has great ambitions, and he is unwilling to give up the opportunity to reach the sky in any case.
Looking deeply at Chen Yuntai, Li Wenzhao glanced at Wang Xianxiang and asked: "You two are the thieves, and they are at least the incense owners. Tell me... you and your accomplices, what happened today The mastermind!”
Zhang Lin moved a chair out and Zhu Jinghong sat on it. He also wanted to know the real situation.
"Zhu family bastard, who in the world doesn't want to kill..."
Lu Jian scolded him as soon as he opened his mouth, but Chen Yuntai, who was on the side, was indifferent and slapped him on the mouth.
The slap was so hard that Lu Jian's back molars were knocked out, causing him to spit out blood.
"How dare you be rude in front of the Thirteenth Master!" Chen Yuntai scolded angrily.
The frequent behavior of his subordinates always made Li Wenzhao feel unhappy, but he couldn't say anything at the moment.
But Zhu Jinghong said coldly: "Is the torture of Jinyiwei all just for show?"
"What's the use of arresting someone alive if you can't find out anything?"
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything for the time being, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to stay here any longer. He wanted to go in and see the injured people.
When Zhu Jinghong entered the Xue family's yard, Li Wenzhao said in a deep voice: "Try your best to make them explain clearly!"
After saying this, he also followed into the house, and the problem was handed over to Chen Yuntai.
The more critical this moment is, the more you need to stay calm when encountering difficult problems. Chen Yuntai is a man with a strong mind.
"Bring the dagger..."
Besides, the injured people were wailing in the courtyard. If the wounds were not treated as soon as possible, the chance of survival of these people would become slimmer.
"Send more people to find the doctor, and ask for a good doctor!" Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice.
"Go back to Master Thirteen, we have sent someone to look for him!" Li Wenzhao replied.
But where could he find a good doctor in this remote village? Li Wenzhao didn't have much hope.
"Master Thirteen, if my grandfather asks me, please tell Master Thirteen that my grandson did not embarrass him!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong knelt down and said, "Gao Jin, you have to live for me. If you want to say this, go back and say it yourself!"
"Master Thirteen, I'm just afraid... that I won't be able to go back!"
Zhu Jinghong held Gao Jin's arm tightly and said angrily: "You, hold on, you can't die if I don't allow you to die!" "
Then he stood up and shouted to the dozen or so injured guards in the room: "Listen carefully, I won't allow you to die, and no one of you will die!"
"If anyone dies without authorization, he is not my brother..."
"You all hold on, the doctor will be here soon!"
The bodyguard of the Long Imperial Guard was a good friend of Zhu Jinghong's predecessor, and there was some brotherhood between the two parties.
On this basis, these people were injured trying to protect him. How could Zhu Jinghong not feel sad now that his life was hanging by a thread.
Every time someone dies here, Zhu Jinghong will feel more guilty.
"Master Thirteen, are you okay..."
Jinling Inspector He Gujin rushed into the courtyard in a panic. He was shocked by the corpses along the way.
"Master Thirteen, are you okay?"
As an inspector, it is his job to catch and fix thieves. Zhu Jinghong was attacked and killed by the White Lotus cultists. If anything goes wrong, He Gu Jin is also responsible.
After receiving the news, he immediately organized manpower and rushed over with the army.
"I'm fine!"
"Thank God, it's okay!" He Gujin wiped his sweat repeatedly.
Zhu Jinghong stepped out of the house, followed by He Gujin and others.
Slowly walking outside the courtyard, Zhu Jinghong came to the edge of the field and said in a deep voice, "I have something to say about today's matter!"
"The Thirteenth Master ordered!"
"Today's event is an encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect rebels organized by me, with the cooperation of Jinyiwei and Anchasi, as well as the Yingtian Shouyu Qianhu Office!"
Qin Sheng, who was guarding thousands of households, asked in confusion: "What does the Thirteenth Master mean?"
Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "If today's incident is reported truthfully, my father will definitely be furious, and you... will all suffer!"
This is almost certain. The legitimate son was attacked and killed by robbers in Jinling. This is equivalent to saying that Chasi Jinyiwei is a poor man.
When the emperor was furious, He Gujin and Li Wenzhao would not have a chance to explain. It was inevitable that they and related personnel would suffer.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong, who left the city without permission, would be severely punished when he returned. He would not be able to escape by being slapped and grounded.
To avoid the above situation from happening, they must change their words.
While the three of them were thinking, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Only by following my instructions can you turn your passiveness into an active one. Only then can you report it openly and openly, and you can be saved!"
Collaborating to suppress thieves and achieving results, even if one's own side loses men, it is still justified in terms of face, and the emperor will not care if he learns of it.
"What do you say?"
Li Wenzhao, He Gujin, and Qin Sheng looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Just listen to He Gujin say: "What Thirteenth Master said is the truth of this incident!"
