In the next few days, Zhu Jinghong went to Linyuan and Kunning Palace, and lived an extremely fulfilling life every day.
On the morning of the eighth day of October, Zhu Jinghong was shooting arrows on the side of the Shanglinyuan school field, with the training ground in full swing behind him.
At this moment, a soldier came quickly and whispered a few words in Yu Hai's ear.
"Thirteenth Master, Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu Li Wenzhao is here to pay his respects. He is waiting outside the school grounds!"
Hearing the three words Li Wenzhao, Zhu Jinghong felt strange for a moment. He had not seen this guy for three months.
"Call him over!"
"yes!"
After a while, Li Wenzhao trotted to the shooting range, led by a young eunuch.
Facing Zhu Jinghong's back, Li Wenzhao kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Wenzhao, see you, the Thirteenth Master!"
Loosening the bowstring, the arrow roared out, hitting the target without a doubt. Zhu Jinghong was unfazed by this.
He stretched out his hand, and the eunuch handed him another arrow, and then Zhu Jinghong opened his bow and nocked the arrow again.
"Li Qianhu, we haven't seen each other for three months, why did you come suddenly today!"
Although Zhu Jinghong's tone was calm, Li Wenzhao heard a thump in his heart.
Could it be that Master Thirteen is blaming him for being in the capital for so long to come to see him?
Li Wenzhao also had difficulties in this regard, because he was repeatedly excluded after entering Beijing, and he was overwhelmed by errands.
The boss did not find any faults and still managed the errands properly. This is actually a test of ability.
He came here this time because he had major clues and planned to give Zhu Jinghong a gift.
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, since I arrived in Beijing, things have been complicated and my errands have made no progress... How dare I come to see the Thirteenth Master!"
This was an extremely appropriate statement. On the one hand, it explained the reason for not coming to see him, and on the other hand, he also expressed his loyalty.
That’s right, it’s loyalty.
He, Li Wenzhao, was transferred to the capital, and all his colleagues around him were watching him. The only one he could rely on was Zhu Jinghong. If he was not loyal, he would not be able to survive.
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew away again and hit the tail of the previous arrow, directly clearing the target.
Zhu Jinghong still had no intention of turning around, but took the arrow from the eunuch's hand again.
"So... your errand has made progress, so you came to see me?"
In fact, when Li Wenzhao came here this time, he really had something to report.
"The Thirteenth Master clearly knows that I have been investigating the capital for several months and have grasped the movements of the White Lotus Sect's rebels!"
"There are eleven dens identified so far, involving seventy-three traitors and 385 rebels!"
After hearing the data reported by Li Wenzhao, Zhu Jinghong was not too excited, but shot another arrow.
At this point, he threw the bow to Yu Hai, then slowly turned around and looked at Li Wenzhao.
"Get up and talk!"
"Thank you Thirteenth Master!"
When Li Wenzhao got up, Zhu Jinghong had already sat on a chair nearby. There were pastries and dried fruits on the coffee table next to him, and of course there was also brewed hot tea.
Taking the teacup handed over by Yu Hai, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and said, "These people you investigated are all White Lotus Sect rebels? Have they been beaten into submission?"
When you reach Zhu Jinghong's status, you don't need to mince words at all.
"Thirteenth Master, you know what I am like. I would never dare to say what I just said without being absolutely sure!"
Li Wenzhao did not answer the question directly, but his meaning was very clear. He, Li Wenzhao, disdained the idea of subjugation and beating.
"The traitor Jin Ling investigated the White Lotus Sect for your merits, so I recommended you to the Holy One..."
"Your Majesty teased you to come to the capital in order to clear out the White Lotus traitor. If you were wise...you wouldn't do the stupid thing of getting through with a trick and getting away with it!"
Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong looked at Li Wenzhao and said with a smile: "I think...you are a sensible person!"
Curling his waist, Li Wenzhao replied cautiously: "I am devoted to sharing the worries of the Holy One, and I will never have any other ideas!"
Zhu Jinghong nodded and asked: "The White Lotus Sect is making big moves in the capital, have you found out what they are?"
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, I wanted to follow the clues and catch the big fish, so I didn't order the arrest, so I have no clues yet!"
"But what is known now is that these people have been closely connected recently and are very likely to rebel!"
If he was in Jinling, Zhu Jinghong would definitely feel worried, but now he really can't worry.
Being in the confines of the palace, with layers of palace walls to isolate the outside world, and the most elite soldiers protecting his safety, Zhu Jinghong really couldn't be afraid.
Even he was like this, no wonder the emperor didn't care much about it.
To the powerful imperial court, the small White Lotus Sect's rebellion was as annoying as flies, nothing more.
"Monitoring so many people, do you have enough people under your command?"
Even if Li Wenzhao has superb methods, it is extremely difficult to make two to three hundred of his men obey orders and to monitor hundreds of people.
"Go back to Master Thirteen, we have enough manpower!"
Zhu Jinghong then asked: "Do you think these people will cause trouble on the Holy Birthday Festival?"
"The traitors are all under surveillance, and three of the incense owners are under close surveillance. I will quickly detect any situation!"
"Three incense masters? Jinling was already led by a divine envoy that time. This time they are going to start an uprising in Beijing. Isn't it possible that even a divine envoy won't show up?"
Li Wenzhao replied: "I also have deep doubts about this, and now I am doing my best to find it!"
In his estimation, if there was to be an uprising in the capital, at least a divine envoy would be required to preside over it, and more likely it would be a heavenly king.
It's a pity that such a big fish has not appeared so far, so Li Wenzhao did not choose to catch people, but planned to continue to observe and wait for the opportunity.
In fact, being able to detect more than ten dens in a row in these three months is already a very big result.
At least in the past few years, the Jinyiwei in the capital didn't notice it, and they didn't know whether these people were stupid or stupid.
"Nothing can happen on the Holy Shou Festival. You have to investigate carefully...I will ask the Holy One to take credit for you,"
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, Li Wenzhao felt as sweet as honey.
This was what he wanted to do when he came to the school grounds to meet Zhu Jinghong.
According to normal procedures, if he found out about the White Lotus Sect, he would have to report it to Qianhu first, then transfer it to the commanding officer, and then check it with the commanding officer.
The more people involved, the more the credit will be divided, and it may even have nothing to do with him, Li Wenzhao.
But it was different when he found Zhu Jinghong. There was no middleman to make the difference and all the credit was his, and he could also let the emperor know the situation directly, which was priceless to Li Wenzhao.
The two chatted for a while, and after Zhu Jinghong learned more about the situation, he asked Li Wenzhao to say goodbye and leave.
"This Li Wenzhao is quite capable!"
After reciting something in his mind, Zhu Jinghong stood up and ordered: "Get your horses ready and go back to the palace!"
"yes!"
On the school grounds, with Hou Jing and the others watching, there was really no need for Zhu Jinghong to stay here all the time.
The rewards promised by the emperor were all fulfilled yesterday, which made all the soldiers enthusiastic about training.
After saying hello to Hou Jing and others, Zhu Jinghong rode towards the palace. He planned to meet Cheap's father and tell him about the Lotus Sect's uprising.
Although you are not afraid of these rebels, you still have to be prepared.
