Chapter 250 The culprit

The news that Xu Bai woke up was like a whirlwind, and it quickly blew the entire Tianjin Cao Transport Terminal.

These days, the Tianjin Caoyun Wharf has almost been in a state of stagnation. Everyone and the ship were ordered to not move wherever they were. The red-eyed Jinyiwei and the fully armed soldiers seemed to be combing over and over again on the dock every day. To be honest, on the day Xu Bai was assassinated, almost everyone who was still at the Caoyun Wharf had their ancestors investigated for three generations.

If someone explodes the thorns, the soldiers don’t need to take action. The Jinyiwei will slap them in the face. Even if you are the officials of the court, you will be the same. In Yang Li’s words, “At worst, this official will be out of place. Brothers, go back to your hometown to farm!”

If you let go of such ruthless words, and if they were assassinated in the street, who would continue to fight against them, that would be an idiot. Even if they were not satisfied with the rampant and domineering Jinyiwei, they could only hold it in their hearts, hoping that after the blockade of troops would withdraw, they would turn around and complain to their master.

There were almost no survivors in the assassin who assassinated Xu Bai that day. Things happened too quickly. When Xu Bai fell down, the situation was no longer under control. Yang Li and others killed the assassin and turned around to call Xu Bai for a few breaths. The team of assassins had been cut into meat sauce by the officers and soldiers who were swarming up. When Yang Li thought of leaving a survivor to torture the main messenger, the team of assassins could not even find a complete body.

At the dock where officers and soldiers gathered, there will be no other end except this. However, from another perspective, their death on the spot may be a relief for them. If someone really wants to fall into the hands of the Jinyiwei, I am afraid that the Jinyiwei's torture will be added to them. At that time, they will be afraid that even if they want to die, they will be unable to die.

This big investigation and search, except for confirming that the assassin was a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, there was no other useful clue. Yang Li took people to hold the heads of these assassins, and made people identify the person one by one. It was not difficult for someone else to be found.

Of course, there were also several imperial prisoners or thieves from the court who were found in this large-scale search. The Jinyiwei did not even have the interest in dealing with them and threw them directly to the people of the Three Guards of Tianjin. These people escaped the first time, but they did not expect that because of the assassination of several remnants of the White Lotus Sect, they did not escape the second time. I am afraid that on this dock, they are the second most hated by the Jinyiwei after the Jinyiwei hated these assassins.

Starting from the identity of these assassins, the soldiers of the three guards of Tianjin once again conducted a large-scale search in the city and captured dozens of fish that had escaped. However, this time, these fish that had escaped were not as lucky as their companions who were imprisoned in the farm. Regardless of whether these fish that had the White Lotus Sect or not, they were all escorted to the Caoyun Wharf and handed over to the Jinyiwei.

The heads of these people were hung on the flagpole on the canal dock the next day with the heads of the assassin. This time, the Jinyiwei's arbitrary resignation, even the people who came from Beijing who specifically verified the bandit case, had no complaints. Even the commander of the Jinyiwei who was in charge of the matter was assassinated by the demons, had no idea what else to say about this matter.

The demon is so bold that he should be punished!

Therefore, basically, the officials of various departments who came to investigate the case had no doubt about the case. They also wanted to wait for Xu Bai to wake up and glance in front of Xu Bai to prove that they had spoken for Xu Bai. Unfortunately, Xu Bai has been unconscious and has not known his life and death. He has been staying for several days. Except for those sent by the palace and the prince, the others have already returned home.

The people who came to the palace were very interesting. They were eunuchs from the Inner Supervision Bureau. They knew Qin Ji, who was sent by the prince. They had stayed at the Sihai Commercial Bank these days. Except for the people who were serving and taking care of Xu Bai, the others in the inn were driven out by the two of them. Xu Bai's subordinates occupied several shops next to them, and they were not summoned, and the merchants would not disturb Xu Bai's treatment.

In the Nanzhen Fushi, Qin Ji brought hundreds of people directly. Zhao Huchen wanted to come in person, but was rejected by the prince. In desperation, he could only send a lot of capable personnel from the Nanzhen Fushi. I don’t know how Zhao Huchen ordered these people. Anyway, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect caught in the city later, these later Jinyiwei of the Nanzhen Fushi were the most fiercely killed.

Qin Ji said that if Xu Bai was really killed, all these three thousand white lotus demons would be buried with Xu Bai, which was what these Jinyiwei threatened.

"All the demons are killed, one or two are wronged. However, if ninety-nine are killed in a hundred and one is released, there will definitely be someone who misses the net. So this time, I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go..."

Xu Bai leaned against the bed and listened to Yang Li telling him what had happened in the past half month. He stood beside Yang Li with a hard work and expressionless voice, without saying a word.

"What's wrong with that commander hook?" Xu Bai thought for a while: "I seemed to see him being chopped by an assassin. Fortunately, he pushed me, otherwise I would probably have died on the spot!"

"Although his injuries are severe, there is no poison on the knife. Only the poisonous ones are crossbow arrows!" Yang Li said: "This time he was searching in the city, the most hardworking person was the soldiers of the Tianjin Left Guard, who was commanding. I suspected that he used a bitter trick to collude with the assassin to murder the adults. After all, in this case, he was also guilty of being in a misunderstanding. If the adults punished him, he would have no place to run!"

"It's not him!" Xu Bai shook his head: "His guards were killed and injured, and he almost died in front of me. If this was a bitter plan, then he would have too much capital!"

"It was Zhou Xiaohua, the head of Luo Cheng Church!" Ren Lao coughed gently: "Those assassins are all loyal to him, Luo Cheng Cult. Although they died on the spot, the subordinates still asked something from the mouths of the people they were arrested later!"

"Where is Zhou Xiaohua's people?" Xu Bai glanced at Ren Lao: "Everyone has asked, I won't have caught it yet!"

"It's not caught, but it's not caught!" Ren Lao looked at Yang Li, and saw that Yang Li had no intention of speaking, he slowly spoke: "Then Zhou Xiaohua and a few fish from the White Lotus Sect were hiding in the cellar of a private house in the city. I would take someone to take the culprit that day, but Yang Baihu said that this person would have to wait for the adults to get it in person. If he went to get him, this person knew that he couldn't escape and committed suicide, it would be too cheap for him..."

Xu Bai looked at Yang Li in confusion, and Yang Li said solemnly: "The owner of the house is a hidden white lotus demon. He has been rectified. And I have been blocked and watched the cellar where Zhou Xiaohua is. Unless this guy is a rat, he should still be in the cellar at this moment..."

"It should be half a month since I was assassinated. This guy has been in that cellar?"

Xu Bai pondered for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Certainly, I've been there all the time!" Zhou Xiaohua nodded: "In the first few days, I could still hear the movements in the cellar, but in the past few days, the movements gradually became smaller. Maybe they knew that the above was blocked by us and accepted their fate..."
