It was definitely not because he was afraid of being beaten or grounded that Zhu Jinghong encouraged everyone to lie together.
Enough people had died today. He didn't want to let more innocent people die, so he had to use this method.
As long as they reach an agreement, the truth of the matter will be covered up, and no one will dare to deny it afterwards, because no one can afford the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Of course, even if the bottom line is revealed afterwards, it won't be a big deal to Zhu Jinghong himself.
At most...it's just a beating!
"Okay, you all go on your own errands..."
Since we are jointly investigating the case, we have to act like it. There are many things that need to be investigated and done.
Everyone was looking for something to do when a voice suddenly came from behind them: "Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, the interrogation has concluded!"
Hearing this, everyone present was a little surprised and looked at Chen Yuntai who was coming.
He still had an impression of this person Zhu Jinghong, so he asked the banker: "What did you ask?"
Hooking his waist, Chen Yuntai cupped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, we have just arrested two leaders, one of whom is Lu Jian, the incense master of the White Lotus Sect, and the other is Wang Xianxiang, the envoy of the Eight Directions God!"
As a professional, Li Wenzhao certainly knew how great a victory it would be to catch a divine envoy.
"Seriously?" Li Wenzhao was a little excited.
Through this divine envoy, there are too many things that can be excavated by investigating the White Lotus Cult bandits in Aurous Hill.
The greater the victory and the greater the credit, the easier it would be to explain to the emperor.
This Chen Yuntai is really a lucky general... Li Wenzhao changed his mind again.
"Don't dare to deceive me in my humble position!"
"Very good, very good..." Li Wenzhao beamed with joy.
Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Li Qianhu, now that we have clues, let's investigate carefully and find more rebels. Only if we work together to suppress the thieves will it be valuable!"
Another meaning of this is that for such a big contribution, he, Zhu Jinghong, has to have a hand. After all, he is the organizer of the coordinated suppression of bandits.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong's intervention will not affect Li Wenzhao's interests. After all, he does not need to use this to get promoted.
For Zhu Jinghong, the more things he accomplished, the more he could change the emperor's opinion of him.
"May I have your name?"
Although this man was young, he could not conceal his capable aura, which piqued Zhu Jinghong's interest.
Hearing Zhu Jinghong ask his name, Chen Yuntai was extremely excited. The opportunity to reach the sky in one step finally came.
"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, I am Chen Yuntai, the bannerman of Jinling Qianhu Office!"
"Chen Yuntai..."
After reading the name once, Zhu Jinghong looked at Li Wenzhao and said: "Li Qianhu, you Qianhu Office...there are many capable people!"
"The Thirteenth Master has given me too much praise. This is all within the scope of my duties!"
"Go on your errands!"
"yes!"
The three of them dispersed. Since the three parties were jointly handling the case, the details still needed to be discussed.
After the three people left, Zhu Jinghong sighed, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Standing on the spot with his hands behind his hands, Zhu Jinghong stared blankly at the mountains and forests in the distance, where the disaster occurred.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhu Jinghong suddenly heard someone shouting from behind him. When he turned around, he saw an old acquaintance.
"Thirteenth Master... I'm late, are you okay?" The person who came was Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian.
As a local official, if something happens to Zhu Jinghong under his rule, Jia Yucun will not end well either.
So after getting the news, this guy also hurried over in a hurry.
But compared to others, Jia Yucun used his brain more and summoned all the famous doctors in Fucheng.
Unable to lead troops to "rescue" him, the only thing he could do was to find a doctor.
But seeing that Zhu Jinghong was in good health, Jia Yucun couldn't help but sigh. These doctors were invited in vain.
"Prefect Jia, these people are..."
When Zhu Jinghong asked, Jia Yucun replied: "I was worried that the Thirteenth Master was injured, so I invited the best doctors in the city. Today, the Thirteenth Master is fine... I am really lucky!"
In order to travel quickly, Jia Yucun and his party rode in a horse-drawn carriage, and everyone along the way was already in a hurry.
On the road between Guandao and Xue Family Courtyard, they got off the car and ran over again. It was the scorching heat of June, and everyone was sweating and panting.
Jia Yucun thought that his efforts were in vain, but Zhu Jinghong was overjoyed and said: "Quickly...quickly invite these doctors to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment!"
"Yes!" Hou Jing replied immediately.
"Everyone, please come with me!"
"Prefect Jia, you are really helpful!" Zhu Jinghong was overjoyed.
Even if he was rescued by Jin Yiwei, Zhu Jinghong was not so happy.
Jia Yucun quickly replied: "I am honored to be able to serve the Thirteenth Master!"
At this moment, Jia Yucun is no different from Chen Yuntai. They are trying their best to be charming and want to get to a high position faster.
"good very good!"
Jia Yucun brought seven doctors with him, and these people got busy as soon as they entered the courtyard. The Xue family also responded to requests.
Treat the wound, apply medicine and bandage, prescribe medicine...
In less than half an hour, the injuries of the guards were treated, and everyone finally calmed down. Having a doctor's diagnosis and treatment is good medicine in itself.
Zhu Jinghong entered the courtyard, pulled one of the senior officials aside and asked, "How is the situation?"
The doctor replied: "The lives of those who were slightly injured are fine, but three of them injured their close friends. We can only survive tonight..."
Zhu Jinghong nodded with a serious expression, and asked again: "Are there any precautions?"
The doctor replied: "It's best to rest for two days and don't move lightly!"
"good!"
After about half an hour, the soldiers responsible for searching the mountain found the guards who died on the retreat and carried them outside the Xue family's residence.
At this moment, it was in front of Zhu Jinghong.
"Master Thirteen, it's time to go back!"
"where to?"
"Answer God!" Wang Jie replied.
Zhu Jinghong replied: "The injured people can't leave, I will be here to accompany them!"
Wang Jie replied: "Thirteenth Master, it is dangerous outside the city after all, so we should go back to the city first, so that our brothers can rest in peace and recover!"
At this time, the others all said: "Please return the Thirteenth Master to the palace!"
"you……"
One of the injured men replied: "I am fighting to the death to keep the Thirteenth Master safe. If the Thirteenth Master is still in danger, why don't we let the brothers' efforts be in vain!"
Someone else replied: "Master Thirteen, how could I not know about Master Thirteen's caring heart? Please ask Master Thirteen to return to the city as soon as possible!"
Everyone said this, and Zhu Jinghong no longer insisted, so he came to the side of the three most seriously injured people, squatted down and said, "You heard me clearly, you have to survive...I'm waiting for you to come back in Yingtian!"
"I... must... come back alive!"
"The same goes for me...!"
Signing to the three of them not to say anything more, Zhu Jinghong turned around and walked out in order not to worry these people.
The White Lotus Sect bandits were killing and arresting each other, and they no longer posed a threat, not to mention that there were still soldiers protecting the place.
When Zhu Jinghong walked out of Xue's house and entered the carriage, he heard Lu Yuxin's voice coming from outside the carriage.
"Master Thirteen, Xue Pan has something to ask you!"
"What's the matter?"
Lu Yuxin replied: "Xue Pan said that the other courtyard was destroyed and his mother could no longer live in the house. In order to prevent encountering bandits again on the road, he wanted to go back to the city with the Thirteenth Master!"
Zhu Jinghong replied: "The Xue family helped a lot this time. I still owe them a favor, so let them follow!"
"yes!"
Lu Yuxin turned around and went to send a message. The Xue family's mother and daughter had also got in the car and were saying goodbye to Xue Pan through the curtain.
"Pan'er, you have to take care of yourself. If something happens here, come back quickly!" Aunt Xue taught her earnestly.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll be back soon!"
The Xue family promised the tenants that those who came to help would be given land and paid. Now that others have come and people have died, Xue Pan has to take care of all these things.
The most important thing is that the injured guards are still resting and need Xue Pan to stay and take care of them.
"Xue Pan, Thirteenth Master wants you to return to the city with the team!" Lu Yuxin sent the message.
