Chapter 166 Encirclement and suppression

Finally, the prefect of Jingzhou ruled in court and dismissed the chief clerk from his official position and his fame, and was beaten for 100 years, and he was imprisoned for three years.

As for Zhang Youzhi, the Jinyiwei had already hinted that he would say hello to him and ask him to be sentenced lightly and to be removed from fame and fortune. Therefore, the verdict made by the prefect only was to be relieved by Zhang Youzhi on the grounds that he voluntarily confessed his guilt and surrendered himself. After Zhang Youzhi's fame and fortune were removed, he would never be allowed to take the imperial examination and then be released in court.

Zaoli removed the torture instruments on Zhang Youzhi's body, and he lowered his head and walked out of the lobby. The people outside the lobby looked at him with contempt and whispered, making him want to find a crack in the floor to get in.

However, when he saw his wife standing there waiting in the distance with her son in her arms, his heart felt warm, and he quickly walked over, and when he arrived in front of his wife, he couldn't even say a trembling word.

At this moment, Xie Mengxia's heart had calmed down and said lightly: "I was going to leave you, but we had Xiaohu... For the sake of my son, I won't leave, but in the future, don't expect me to accept you and bully you like before!"

Zhang Youzhi looked ashamed and looked at his wife, his eyes full of gratitude. He actually lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying, "Madam, if you can forgive me, I will definitely change my past. If I say something harsh to you in the future and move a finger, I will cut it into pieces."

Xie Mengxia snorted, held her son and turned around and left. Zhang Youzhi was ashamed, got up, lowered his head and followed quickly, leaving the yamen.

After experiencing this incident, after Zhang Youzhi was removed from fame, he no longer had the courage to bully Xie Mengxia. Instead, the mouse was like a cat and pleased Xie Mengxia in every way.

Because he had lost face in Jinzhou, he had no face to stay still, and sold his property. He moved away from a distance and lived a new life in a place he didn't know.

Although Zhang Youzhi bought the fame of this scholar with money, he was still somewhat literary, so he opened a private school to teach students, and earned enough money to support his family and lived a well-off life.

Mei Lengxiang never showed up. It was not until a few years later that she went to visit her, and she didn't mention this matter, and even pretended not to know. Seeing her senior sister radiant and energetic, she also laughed particularly cheerful, she felt that her senior sister was truly happy. Yi Xingchen's hexagram finally worked. They got the result of a great auspicious change of hexagram.

Yi Xingchen successfully found out that the Jinzhou Tianjie Sect created lies and spread the so-called rumors of divine fire from heaven, and used equipment to forge divine fire from heaven, and quickly reported it to Governor Li. Governor Li was overjoyed when he learned about it and rushed to Jinzhou immediately.

However, because the journey between Tunzhou and Jinzhou was a bit far away, it was more than ten days later that he had received information and rushed to Jinzhou. During this period, Yi Xingchen and Mei Lengxiang had already dealt with her senior sister's affairs. As soon as he returned to Jinzhou, Governor Li came.

After Governor Li arrived at the yamen, Yi Xingchen and Ruan Baihu, Jinzhou Jinyiwei, reported to him.

Of course, the report was mainly done by Yi Xingchen. He gave the confession of the bandits of the Tianjie Cult who had been investigated and arrested to Governor Li. After reading it, Governor Li couldn't help laughing. He said to Yi Xingchen: "You are really a blessing general. These people have not made any name for the Tianjie Cult for so long. As soon as you come, they exposed their conspiracy and tricks and captured them all. Unfortunately, they missed their bandit leader, but it doesn't matter. Since the matter has been clear, he has nowhere to hide at the end of the world, and he will sooner or later be arrested and brought to justice."

This time, Yi Xingchen did not have high hopes like the last time he cracked the case of the Yunshan Guan Taoist killing hundreds of immortals, so he only reported on the case itself, and did not expand it to the entire Tianjie Sect. Because he knew that the Tianjie Sect had many believers in the court, he did not want to cause trouble, so he investigated the case. This is the most appropriate thing. As for how to determine it, it would be left to the emperor himself to decide.

After praise, Governor Li said to Yi Xingchen: "I will report your military achievements to your Jinyiwei Pacification Department according to facts. But now is not the time to reward merits, because there are more important things for us to do. - I have received a tip and know that a larger group of bandits in the White Lotus Sect is entrenched. They are recruiting soldiers and preparing to revive again. So, this time I will catch them all in one place and you will go to war with me."

Yi Xingchen hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "See the order of the Lord."

He was about to go to the battle the next day. Yi Xingchen wanted to talk to Mei Lengxiang, but he didn't know where to see him, so she was uncertain.

He would come to whatever he thought. The next morning, Yi Xingchen opened his eyes and saw Mei Lengxiang smilingly sitting on a stool beside the round table in the main room and looking at him.

Yi Xingchen was embarrassed. In ancient times, there were no pajamas and pajamas. He slept naked. Fortunately, he covered himself with a quilt and quickly wrapped the quilt on his body and said, "Sister, why are you coming in?"

Mei Lengxiang turned pretty and turned around to walk to the window, saying, "You put on your clothes first. Because things are urgent, I rushed to see you. I didn't expect you to be so lazy."

Yi Xingchen laughed dryly and said, "At noon today, the army set out to fight against the White Lotus Sect, so I want to sleep in. I'm getting up late. Is there anything wrong with my sister in such a hurry to find me?"

Yi Xingchen asked while quickly putting on his clothes and pants. Mei Lengxiang said, "Of course there is an urgent matter. Thank you first. I have to help me handle my senior sister's affairs. Although her husband has lost his reputation, I can see that the senior sister has put it aside and will not be bullied by him again in the future. Life will get better slowly."

"Yes, that's fine. Isn't this exactly what we expected at the beginning?"

After Yi Xingchen put on his clothes, Mei Lengxiang turned around and sat at the round table with a pretty face slightly red face, saying, "I came here so early to call you to tell you that I want to go to the capital, and, after that, I will leave immediately. Because things are in a hurry, I can't wait for you to get up."

Yi Xingchen was shocked and said, "What are you doing in the capital?"

"Well... I'll be unable to explain it for a while. In short, I'll finish dealing with it as soon as possible and rush back."

"If I have the opportunity to come to Beijing, how can I find you sister?"

Mei Lengxiang said in surprise: "Will you come to Beijing?"

"If the mountains do not turn, the water may turn, and you may go to the capital at any time."

"That's true. If you really want to come to the capital, you go to Fuyun Temple to find the host Master Miaoyun, tell her that you are looking for me, and she will tell me, and I will come to you. Because I am uncertain, it is not convenient for you to find me."

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys are careful."

"I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself. Your army is about to set out to fight against the White Lotus Sect. This is good news. I hope you can catch all the bandits in the White Lotus Sect and help me vent my anger. But you have to be careful in everything. When the army goes to war, you should not have any problems with the governor. However, you should always be careful on the battlefield and never take risks."

When Yi Xingchen heard her advice, his words were gentle, just like his wife was sending her husband out, feeling worried. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the plum Lengxiang drift away, there was still a faint fragrance that only he could smell in the room. Yi Xingchen was stunned for a while and sighed.

This time the army went on a war, Yi Xingchen was with Governor Li.

This time, Governor Li came prepared and had obtained accurate information. Therefore, the army gradually gathered the encirclement and surrounded the White Lotus Sect on Dengyun Mountain.

This was the first time Yi Xingchen participated in an ancient war. He had no say at all. Governor Li did not ask him any military opinions. He was calm in command and fought several times. Yi Xingchen followed him to look out on the hill. The sound of fighting on the battlefield was deafening. Seeing the battle on the ancient battlefield made people feel even more cruel. In many cases, in modern society, soldiers were not even seen in each other, and they would be broken by the opponent's missiles, planes, and cannons, and instead were not as exciting as the current face-to-face killing.

The White Lotus Sect obviously did not expect that the court would mobilize so many troops to surround them quietly. They wanted to break through several times, but the army was stuck in various passages and had no way to break through.

The White Lotus Sect could only retreat to Dengyun Mountain and defend according to danger.

The mountains here are dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Governor Li's army failed to capture several forced charges, but instead suffered losses, and many casualties were injured. Governor Li had to order the climbing Yunshan to surround the other party, trap the other party first, wait for the opponent's food and grass to be used up on the other party's mountain, and the water source was exhausted, and he would be in chaos without fighting. Then he launched an attack.

After being besieged for more than ten days, the tentative attack was quickly beaten back. The combat power of the White Lotus Sect still showed no signs of decay, which made Governor Li very depressed.

Governor Li decided to go to a mountain opposite that was higher than Baiyun Mountain to investigate the enemy situation and let Yi Xingchen accompany him.

Yi Xingchen looked at the mountain opposite, surrounded by white clouds, and the mountain was lush and full of trees, but there were snow lines on the top of the mountain, and the bare rocks turned brown.

The mountain seemed to be higher than the mountain here, and it could be seen clearly from where it was condescending. In ancient times, there was no advanced investigation method, this was a way.

Yi Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to let other generals go to the reconnaissance mission. Governor, you are the commander of the three armies, so it's better not to leave the army."

"I don't know the military and it seems simple to survey terrain. In fact, different terrain see different effects in the eyes of different people. I don't believe in the results of other people's surveys, so I have to go there in person. Here, all the bandits of the White Lotus Sect were surrounded by us on Baiyun Mountain. There is no trace of the White Lotus Sect in other places, so there will be no danger."

Since the great marshal was personally responsible, Yi Xingchen had nothing to say. Follow Governor Li and, under the protection of his personal guards, he went to the mountain next to Baiyun Mountain.

Locals call this mountain Bald Head Mountain because the top of the mountain is already above the snow line and trees cannot grow. Compared with the lush forests at the foot of the mountain, it is like a bald head. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
