Chapter 392 The effect is significant

After reading the detailed report on the crackdown on the White Lotus Sect sent from various places to Beijing, Tang Feng once again felt that his previous decision was correct. With the assistance of the Dongchang, the governments in various places in the Ming Dynasty had smoother the attacks on the White Lotus Sect in their respective jurisdictions. In less than a month, hundreds of people had fallen into the hands of the government. From these people, more people who had hidden their identities were also dug out. I believe that as long as this situation continues to develop, even if the White Lotus Sect cannot be completely eradicated and uprooted, it will not be possible to pose any threat to the court again.

Tang Feng had deliberately sent two thousand households to Jiangnan before, and good news came at this time. Bai Liangfeng is worthy of being a good player in the criminal prison. With the help of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei spies, the local Bailian Cultivators in Jiangnan who killed Wang Junqing and other four families were also caught. At the same time, they also explained that all this was instructed by the young master of the sect. After this result, Tang Feng felt that he had an explanation for the innocent people who died.

In addition to the good news from the provinces outside the capital, Tang Feng felt that his decision was the most correct one, that the court had convicted Ni Wenhuan and sentenced him to death for the crime of rebellion. During this period, Tang Feng finally realized the truth in what Tian Jing said before. If it weren't for the people from the East Factory who helped him, I'm afraid that this matter would not have been completely resolved so easily.

Tang Feng remembered that two days after Ni Wenhuan was taken down by him, the matter reached Wei Zhongxian's ears. He was already a little dissatisfied with Tang Feng. He was afraid that he would be unfavorable to the court officials in order to fight for power, so he called Tang Feng to him for inquiries. From Wei Zhongxian's performance, Tang Feng could see some distrust, but he still truthfully told what happened in Ni's house.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Tang Feng, this Ni Wenhuan is a third-rank official in the court. How can you lock him up before you get the exact evidence?"

Tang Feng felt very dissatisfied, thinking that when you were persecuting the court to summarize the righteous ministers and straight ministers, you had always been convicted of false charges. Why didn’t you ever see you so righteously ask for evidence from others? Although you had such thoughts in your heart, Tang Feng still said respectfully: “My father-in-law, because of the carelessness of the officials, Li Pushi injured several soldiers and fled. However, it is true that he found the clothes he had worn and the medicine for treating injuries in the Ni family’s courtyard, so the Ni family must have an inescapable relationship with Li Pushi.”

"Although that's the case, you can't say that this matter must be related to Ni Wenhuan. Although he is the head of the family, if the people below want to hide something, he may not know it." Wei Zhongxian said with a slightest statement.

Tang Feng heard that he had the intention to point at him, and could not produce more powerful evidence for it. After a while, he said: "But it was because of his repeated obstruction that the officials could not go to the hospital for searching in time. What is this not his guilty thief? In addition, the servant of the Ni family who went to the pharmacy to buy medicine was also discovered by us. He was a confidant who trusted him very much. This alone cannot eliminate the suspicion of Lord Ni."

Although Tang Feng gave a lot of clear evidence, pointing out that Li Pushi did have a connection with Ni Wenhuan, Wei Zhongxian still insisted on his own opinion and ordered Tang Feng to send the Ni family's people to the Ministry of Justice. From this point, Tang Feng felt that Wei Zhongxian's suspicion about him was getting heavier. Even though he helped the other party frame Sun Chengzong before, Wei Zhongxian was still wary of him. In order to prevent things from being backfired, Tang Feng had no choice but to obey orders and sent the person to the Ministry of Justice.

After returning to his home, Tang Feng was impressed by Tian Jing's vision: "If it weren't for Mr. Tian's reminder, I had never turned enemies into friends with the people from the East Factory, I was afraid that Ni Wenhuan would probably go home directly under their protection."

Tian Jing smiled and said, "This is also necessary for the adults to be humble and accept words to avoid such unfavorable situations." Then he changed the topic and said, "But sir, don't be discouraged now. Since Ni Wenhuan is still in prison, we still have a chance. Don't forget that Dongchang has promised to deal with the White Lotus Sect with you. Now it's time to use them."

After visiting the two big bosses of the East Factory the next day, Ni Wenhuan's crime was established in just one day, which was the serious crime of treason. Tang Feng was curious and asked the people of the East Factory. Then he found out that it was Qin and Chu who went to meet Eunuch Wei yesterday and reported on their situation of supervising officials. From it, Ni Wenhuan's abnormal movements were mentioned. With the two confidants of the Jinyiwei and the East Factory, they also pointed out that Ni Wenhuan had a problem. Even if Wei Zhongxian had any suspicion, he had to believe it. So the next morning he decided Ni Wenhuan's death penalty in the name of the emperor, and even the three trials were omitted.

However, before this, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei still interrogated dozens of people from the Ni family. Unfortunately, these people either did not know the relationship between their masters and the White Lotus Sect at all, or did not accept anything because they knew they had died. Although they used countless tortures, Tang Feng and others could not interrogate the secrets about the White Lotus Sect. Fortunately, Lu Tianxiang, who had given up on the White Lotus Sect, was given guidance, and this attack on the White Lotus Sect could have such an effect.

Of course, things were not all so smooth. For example, Li Pushi, who had been searching for in the capital, could not find it no matter how much he looked. From the strict defense of the capital, Tang Feng could be sure that the injured leader of the White Lotus Sect could not escape. Then there was only one possibility, that is, in the capital, except for the people who are now known, there were other accomplices of the White Lotus Sect, and Li Pushi was hiding by those people. However, whether it was the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find more White Lotus Sect members. However, some of the people below took the opportunity to blackmail a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, Tang Feng was depressed again because of the joy of seeing the news of the White Lotus Sect being wiped out from all over the country. He couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Chu Buer suddenly came to see him.

Although the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei stood together in dealing with the White Lotus Sect this time, the rift between the two sides is still there, so if nothing important is happening, the people from the Dongchang rarely come to the Beizhen Fushi, and big heads like Chu Buer naturally rarely come to see Tang Feng. So when he heard that Chu Buer came to see him, Tang Feng was also confused.

After a few greetings, Chu Buer and Tang Feng expressed their intention: "I'm here to ask you Brother Tang to help you in dealing with the White Lotus Sect Leader."

"You and I have formed an alliance now. Brother Chu just say whatever you have." Tang Feng said politely. The relationship between them is a bit special, so they do not follow the rules of the officialdom in terms of their names. Instead, they are like ordinary people who are communicating and refer to brothers. Of course, they will never regard each other as brothers in their hearts.

"That's right. In the past few days, our people have been searching for the traces of Li Pushi, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Brother Tang, you mentioned, but they still have no gains until now. Now it seems that he is hiding in a place that we can never imagine, and the other is that he has left the capital. It would be fine if the latter is the former, but if it is the former, it would be too harmful to the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang if we can't find it. So I want to use some means."

"Brother Chu has any ideas, but it doesn't matter." Tang Feng said.

"I heard that the Jinyiwei captured Li Ze, the son of Li Pushi, that day. If Brother Tang could use it as bait, maybe Li Pushi would appear, if he was still in the capital." Chu Buer expressed his thoughts.

Tang Feng was stunned when he heard this. He actually forgot Li Ze. Now, when Chu Buer said that, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Good idea, but I don't know what to do?"

"Issue a notice so that everyone in the capital will know that we will kill Li Ze at Caishikou in three days! If Li Pushi really has a family affection for his son, he will definitely come to save him!"

Tang Feng pondered for a while before saying, "I have another suggestion. Since I want to do it, I will do it bigger. We will even pull out the White Lotus Sect traitors who have already taken to the capital and kill them together with Li Ze and Ni Wenhuan. In this way, even if Li Pushi dared not show up because of his life, it would be a huge blow to his reputation in the White Lotus Sect."

"Good solution, it's like Brother Tang, you're thoughtful. I'll go to see Jiu Qiansui and report our plan to him!" Chu Buer was very interested after listening to Tang Feng's suggestion and immediately made preparations. Tang Feng smiled bitterly, feeling that his approach was exactly the same as the way some villains in the TV movies I watched in my previous life forcing the protagonist to appear. And now he is indeed helping the government. Maybe in a few hundred years, a martial arts TV series will really have his own name, and this name represents the big villain.

The day for killing these White Lotus Rebels has finally come. On this early summer noon, the sun shone straight on the long row of criminals tied like tree stumps, and surrounded by a large group of excited people. It has rarely seen so many criminals killed in the past few years, so the people of Sijiu City are naturally very interested.

Among these people, many of them were fully alert. They were good players of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei. They were always ready to arrest Li Pushi or other White Lotus scholars when they appeared, but when it was noon, everything was still calm...
