Chapter 242
The noise of the night, the chaos of the night, the chaos of the night.
When dawn came quietly, the brave people quietly opened the window of their homes and the door of the house, revealing a small gap, checking the situation outside.
They suddenly discovered that outside the streets and alleys they were familiar with, there were cold-looking officers and soldiers everywhere. If they were lucky, they could still see their familiar figures from these officers and soldiers.
Some people started to sing gongs in the streets and alleys and shouted words to comfort them. So they gradually realized what happened last night. The people who shouted made people from various sects go to the Qing army's yamen to go out on their own, which made them feel a little uneasy.
In recent years, even if there is no one in my family, I know who is from my neighbors and who is the one who has been sacrificing the teachings. At this moment, it sounds like the court dispatched officers and soldiers to catch all the people who have joined the teachings?
No one was foolish enough to leave the head. Everyone knew that as long as you entered the official gate, it was not the final decision. Fortunately, those who were playing the gong also called out the deadline given to them by the government.
In three days, as long as the head is released within three days, the court will leave the past without any blame!
If this is the case, these uneasy people breathed a little relieved. At least, they could see how others did it and how the government treated them. As for this person, it is an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. They can't jump into the pit with their eyes open.
Some people were brave enough to go out, but they were persuaded by the officers and soldiers in the streets and alleys to go back. In this case, when facing the swords and guns of these officers and soldiers, the people still listened to others' advice. Of course, some people also felt that they were unambiguous. They relied on being an old man in the military household and were qualified to explode the thorns, and then they were pressed to the ground, tied up in various ways and didn't know where they got it.
If you look down from the sky above Tianjin City, you will clearly see that the huge Tianjin City is crisscrossing, almost every street and no alley is surrounded by officers and soldiers. They are like nails, covering the entire Tianjin City.
In the four directions of the city, hundreds of people seemed to be a ball of black ants, slowly moving from the four corners of the city towards the middle of the city.
They were searching for White Lotus Sect members one by one, as if they were combing, trying to comb all the demons and monsters in Tianjin from the homes of ordinary people, leaving no one left behind.
Occasionally, these people, like ants, suddenly jump out of the house when passing through an alley, and flee in scattered places, which makes the crowd a little confused. However, after all, it is a net of heaven and earth, and it is a huge gap in strength. None of these people who jump out of the house were killed on the spot or pressed down on the ground with swords and guns, could not escape.
Compared to the deserted streets in the city, the Qing Army Road Yamen is probably the busiest and bustling place in Tianjin at this moment. People keep coming in from outside in a hurry, and people keep coming out of the inside with a solemn expression, turning on horses, and then heading towards a certain part of the city.
If there are old military households who are familiar with the military affairs of the Three Guards in Tianjin here, you will see that among these people, there are people from the three guards in Tianjin. Moreover, in addition to the people from these three guards, there are also some people wearing red clothes coming in and out. However, the identities of these people may not be recognized by the old military households who may not have left Tianjin in their entire lives.
In the lobby of the Qing Military Dojo, Xu Bai sat in the main seat, looking at the three commanders in front of him, constantly issuing orders, but there was no expression of joy on his face.
After planning for so long, with the full support of the Four Tengxiang Guards and the Three Tianjin Guards, if he cannot do his best this time and completely pull the White Lotus Sect from Tianjin, he will be considered a failure.
The soldiers of the three guards of Tianjin are not responsible for arresting, they are only responsible for guarding and guarding the arrested criminals. The soldiers of the Jinyiwei and the four guards of Tengxiang are the main forces of the arrest. For such an arrangement, the commanders of the three guards of Tianjin have no objection to this.
This is either the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei who did not trust them, or even themselves might not dare to believe their subordinates. When Xu Bai threw a list in front of them, pointed to the dense names on it, and told them that their subordinates were all White Lotus Cultists, the three commanders were basically pale and let Xu Bai rub them.
The Jinyiwei is good at frame-up, but they really can't do such a thing, and they know their own affairs, even if these three commanders are confused, they still have heard of the activities of the White Lotus Cult in Tianjin. The evidence of such things is conclusive, and they have all kinds of evidence. If they deny it, they will be willing to die.
The appearance of the four Tengxiang guards at the Caoyun Wharf means that the Jinyiwei is already guarding against them. Who knows how far away the four Tengxiang guards are waiting for orders at this moment. They are very sure that since the Jinyiwei can mobilize the imperial guards to deal with the matter in Tianjin, I am afraid that this matter has already been exposed to the sky.
The commander will definitely not be able to continue to do this, but the next step is to go to the Jinyiwei prison, or to step down and go to the Ministry of War to be an idle official position, which depends on their performance.
Although the young man behind them seemed to be leisurely and idle, these three commanders were indeed scared by the young Jinyiwei. At this moment, compared to the young man behind them, they were afraid that they would hate the White Lotus Sect who ruined their future completely!
"Hey, if I had known this, why would you have been there?"
Xu Bai shook his head and left the lobby. There were not many things he needed to do now. The search was proceeding in an orderly manner, and it was not difficult to follow the map.
How to uniform, imprison, and transport these prisoners, the people in the army do better than the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei, the four Tengxiang guards and the three Tianjin guards stare at each other, so no one is worried about not working hard.
There is still a guest waiting for him in the back yamen of Qing Military Road. It seems that at this time, there is no other place for this guest to go.
"Where is Eunuch Wang?"
When he walked into the Houya, Xu Bai saw Guo Lin, who was bored and flirting with a book. The book was actually quite good. It was left by the assistant lord who was captured by him. However, it seemed that Guo Lin could not understand the interesting parts of the book at all. He was flipping through the book, but his eyes didn't know where he saw it.
"Mr. Xu!"
Guo Lin was shocked and stood up immediately: "Eunuch Wang seemed to be very interested in arresting the demons outside and took the people out!"
"This person is interesting!" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Is he interested in the affairs of the army, or is he interested in how my Jinyiwei acted?"
"This, the villain dares not guess!"
"Okay, why haven't you seen me so much? I've become so restrained. Where did the eldest son Guo, who was chatting and laughing with me in Qingyuan Building? "
Xu Bai said with a smile: "Sit, sit..."
"I made a few turns at the Gate of Hell, but I didn't know the sky and the earth were as thick as before!" Guo Lin said with a wry smile: "I originally thought it was just a very easy job, but who knew that when I entered the gate of Na Luocheng Sect, my life was hanging at a thread at all times. I was worried that I would suddenly break into my room and cut me to death by knives. You don't know, those people are really like madmen!"
"I know I'm afraid, this is a good thing. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you will be much calmer. However, you did a great job this time. If it weren't for you, how could it be so easy to eliminate these demons from the White Lotus Sect? I said that if things are done, I will be your first achievement. I will do what I say!"
"No, no, no, lord is the one who is good at planning and strategizing. I am just a little bit of credit and dare not be greedy for me!"
Xu Bai looked at Guo Lin with a smile. In this Tianjin city for a month, Guo Lin seemed to have become a different person. He knew how to be awe and did not accept his fate so much. He really seemed to have been reborn.
"Tell me, whatever you want, you will reward and punish if you make mistakes. While I have not reported all the matter yet, we still have room for discussion on your reward. If you report it, what you reward you may not be what you want!"
"Sir, did that thief Zhou Xiaohua catch it?"
Guo Lin hesitated for a moment and asked.
"This one has not been caught yet, but it's impossible for him to escape if he can't catch him. It will be a matter of time before he catches him!"
"Then I'd better talk about the reward for me when I catch this person!" Guo Lin smiled bitterly: "At this time, he probably came to his senses. I'm afraid that he hates me, which is even more powerful than hating officers and soldiers. Maybe in his heart, these officers and soldiers were all summoned by me. If such people are not caught, I will be afraid that I will not be able to eat or sleep in the future!"
"That may not be, the news may not be reached in his ears!" Xu Bai nodded: "Okay, I understand your concerns, so I will talk about this later. These days, you will stay by my side and don't show up at will. There are always three or two fish that escape the net under the sky and earth. If someone gets revenge, it means I will not protect you!"
"Thank you for your care!" Guo Lin bowed to Xu Bai and thanked him: "Sir, there is still something to use for me, just speak!"
"I'll talk about this later..." Xu Bai smiled: "You are actually quite capable, even if I use it, I'm a little scared. Your luck is too great. I'm afraid I won't have the hardship of yours..."
Guo Lin was panicked, Xu Bai laughed, waved his hand, signaling him to go to the back yamen.
...
In an ordinary house west of the city, a man in green greeted the soldiers patrolling at the door with a smile. Among the soldiers patrolling, there was someone he knew. The man nodded to him: "Precare the door and don't go out. If you see a stranger, immediately warn me!"
"I understand! Don't worry!"
Watching the patrolling soldiers slowly leaving, the man in green stayed at the door for a while and was sure that there were no officers and soldiers passing by again. Then he slowly closed the door and walked into the room.
When he entered the room, his movements immediately became agile, and he gently moved the incense table enshrined by Guanyin in the middle of the room, and a black hole was exposed from under the incense table.
"Master, there are no officers and soldiers outside, so you can come out!"
There was a rustling sound from the entrance of the cave. A figure crawled out of the inside, and another figure crawled out of the inside. The third figure showed its head and looked around first. Seeing that there was no abnormality outside, it crawled out of the inside.
"The Lord of the Hall..."
"snort!"
Zhou Xiaohua's eyebrows were not eyebrows, but her eyes were not eyes and looked at the man in blue: "How is the situation outside!"
"The patrol officers and soldiers just passed by. I just went out and I was stopped when I walked to the street corner. The master was afraid that he would be wronged here for a few days. The lower part was a little smaller, but if he came up to get some breathing for a few hours, he would not be bored!"
"Is this mouse cave a place where people live?" Zhou Xiaohua looked at the man in green with a gloomy face: "No one doubts your identity!"
"No!" The man in green replied: "When the master asked his subordinates to do this secret chess, he ordered his subordinates not to participate in everything in the sect. How could anyone suspect that I have something to do with our Luo Sect!"
"That's good. Go and get some food and then guard at the door!" Zhou Xiaohua nodded, the man in green nodded and went out lightly.
"Master, I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Why did the officer and soldier turn against each other suddenly?
Several people were eating the food brought by the man in blue. One of Zhou Xiaohua's only two confidants was left. Suddenly, he asked in confusion: "The officers and soldiers will not turn against each other soon. But when we are about to kill those people in Wuwei, they will suddenly come over. Could it be that this is the backup plan for Wuwei's people?"
"fart!"
Zhou Xiaohua said hatefully: "The officers and soldiers who attacked us are not from the Three Guards of Tianjin. Can't you hear their accent?"
"The officers and soldiers outside the city?" The confidant was stunned for a moment and furious: "Is someone selling us? Are these officers and soldiers here to deal with us?"
"It's hard to say!" Zhou Xiaohua said slowly: "If Zhou Lin was here, maybe he could have figured it out. You two can fight and kill, but you are not as good as this playboy when you use your brain!"
"Maybe he was the one who recruited the officers and soldiers!" said in dissatisfaction: "For so many years, we and the officers and soldiers have been in peace, but this happened in one month after he came to Tianjin. From my perspective, this person is the most suspected!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Xiaohua glanced at him: "I've tried his best. His ancestors have found out for him. He is definitely not from the government. However, what you said is strange enough..."
He looked outside, "Waiting for the matter to pass, I'll know when I find him. If he hides it according to my instructions, it will naturally have nothing to do with him. If he doesn't hide it and is safe and sound, hum, whether he lets us suffer this sudden disaster, he will be dead!"
