~.<  >-~ Chapter 215: Someone comes from the small dark room

The man was pale and didn't have to look at him. He was about fifty years old, with his hands behind his back, and walked into the hall with a gloomy face. When he saw the man's walking posture and face, Zheng Changping was shocked. From the way he walked, he looked like a eunuch. When he looked at the two big men following him, he had big waists and round arms. There were two golden wires embedded in the horizontal knife handle on the waist, and his heart was jumped again.

He quickly took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "Zheng Changping, the governor of Shanzhou, please welcome the superiors. I wonder which yamen from the capital?"

A smile appeared on the person who came: "Mr. Zheng asked this knowingly. Okay, our family is from the Forbidden City and comes from a small black room. This time we are chasing a murderer."

As expected, Zheng Changping was shocked. As a local official, he naturally knew where the little black room was. It was a secret organization directly controlled by His Majesty the Emperor. Gou Jing, the former chief supervisor of the big house, was the direct commander of the little black room. To put it bluntly, the people in the little black room were the emperor's eyes and ears and minions hidden in the dark. This is an organization that only knows at a certain level, but it is only a little heard of, it is difficult to see the true appearance, and it is difficult to know the true structure and operation of this organization.

After all, he was a senior official in charge. After being shocked, Zheng Changping quickly calmed down his emotions and greeted him with a smile, "It turns out that he is the subordinate of Master Jing. He is just speculating before, but Zheng didn't dare to guess at the randomness. I wonder if you are one of the four tiger generals under Master Jing?"

He looked back at his subordinate on the side, "What are you doing when you are stunned? See the seat and have tea."

The visitor knew what Zheng Changping meant, so he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Zheng Changping, "Our Qin Sheng is under the command of Gonggong Jing, but he cannot be called a tiger general."

Qin Sheng, the four tiger generals under the secret guard of the little black room, ranked second among the four tiger generals under the secret guards of the dark room. He was afraid that he would come to Shanzhou in person. Zheng Changping had a ghost in his heart, wondering if his actions were noticed by the emperor. You must know that among the things he did in the past two years, many of them could be considered as the crime of deceiving the king. If he was investigated, it would be light for him to lose his official position. After he reported it, His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an order to reward him. If these things were made public, they would be the face of the emperor.

"Please, my father-in-law, I wonder what the important thing is to visit Shaanxi this time. Shanzhou is a small place and is located in the western frontier. If a big man like Qin is here, it is a blessing for Shanzhou!" Zheng Changping tried Qin Sheng's tone.

Qin Sheng smiled slightly. His family knew his business. The people in the small dark room had no good popularity among the Dayue institutions, because whenever the officials involved in the small dark room were either lost or dismissed from office, there were few good people. In the past, people in the small dark room disappeared inexplicably. Afterwards, they were discovered that they were plotted against by some officials, but these matters were unfounded, and those who dared to take action would naturally do things without any leakage.

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to compliment our family. Our night owls enter the house, and there is nothing good. Hey, Master Zheng, this is the best Dahongpao. This item is a bit rare. Master Zheng is very capable. Such good tea is rare even in the palace."

"Hahaha!" Zheng Changping laughed dryly, "This was also obtained by chance. Xiaguan's house also has some treasures. My father-in-law liked it, so he sent it to my father-in-law. Zheng Fu went to bring all the big red robes to my father-in-law."

Qin Sheng smiled and said nothing, "We have to thank Lord Zheng for this. It is best for Mr. Jing to give this one. I will pass on Mr. Zheng's big red robe to Mr. Jing."

Seeing that the other party refused to give gifts, Zheng Changping was overjoyed. As long as the other party was willing to accept the gifts, there would be no major matter. Even if there was something wrong, there was still room for refusal. Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand the Dahongpao sent by Zheng Fu to Qin Sheng, he quietly picked up a few silver notes and handed them to Qin Sheng with Dahongpao.

He smiled and took the things handed over by Zheng Changping, and stuffed the Dahong Pao to the entourage behind him. A few silver notes were put into his long sleeves without any scent. He didn't have to look at the denomination. People like Zheng Changping gave gifts, who did not only look down on him, but also gave him his own people, right?

Seeing the other party taking the things and money, Zheng Changping's smile became even happier. It seemed that this time the matter must have nothing to do with him, otherwise the other party would definitely not accept the money.

"Eunuch Qin is a big shot in the capital. Isn't it a business to visit Shaanxi this time?" Zheng Changping sat back on his main seat and asked.

Qin Sheng looked at Zheng Changping with one face, "I wonder if Lord Zheng hasn't heard of the White Lotus Sect?"

Zheng Changping nodded, "I have heard that this evil is best at bewitching trouble among the lower-class people, establishing an altar and forming associations, and committing evil deeds. He has always been the target of the court's attacks."

"Has Lord Zheng ever tried to arrest the White Lotus Sect in Shanzhou?" Qin Sheng asked lightly.

"Of course, I'm not ruthless about this kind of cult. I'll catch one and kill one, and two and kill one pair. In Shanzhou, there is no soil for the White Lotus Sect to breed." Zheng Changping boasted.

Qin Sheng looked at Zheng Changping, wondering whether the other party was pretending to be stupid or really didn't know. In fact, this person could be treated as a polite person, and his previous behavior was extremely smooth. Why was he so confused that he was so arrogant when he arrived here? Thinking of the scene he saw after he arrived in Shanzhou, thinking about Zheng Changping's memorial to the court, a ridiculous feeling suddenly surged in his heart. It was so unfortunate that Dayue Dynasty had such a great curse that only eating but not working, but also doing more and more helping.

However, I just took the other party’s money, so it was not difficult to embarrass the other party.

"Two years ago, the White Lotus Sect caused trouble in the southern states by taking advantage of floods. The fourth prince of the labor camp personally visited the southern states, vigorously purged, arrested, and killed a large number of White Lotus Sect backbones, leaving them without a foothold in the southern states. Unfortunately, the White Lotus Sect leader and a group of people escaped from the southern states. According to our reliable information, they had sneaked into Shanzhou last year. Taking advantage of the drought and other situations in Shanzhou last year and the year, they vigorously developed the religious people. Now they have a great power." Qin Sheng took a sip of tea and lowered his eyebrows and said calmly.

Zheng Changping's face suddenly turned red and white. Qin Sheng's words contained too many meanings. One is that the White Lotus Sect has already been in a considerable scale in Shaanxi Province, but he didn't even know that this was a dereliction of duty. The other is that the drought in the two places this year was very different from the weather and rain he reported, and the harvest of farmers. This is a deception. These two, especially the latter one, will be lost.

"Eunuch Qin, there may be some remnants of Bailian infiltrating into Shanzhou, but I don't agree with it. I have always spared no effort to attack the White Lotus Sect." Zheng Changping defended.

Qin Sheng put down the tea bowl and said, "I'm not hiding it from Lord Zheng. At the beginning of this year, I followed this group of people to Shanzhou, but it was very surprising that my people were assassinated. During the period, I lost the surveillance of these people for a long time, so I didn't have time to inform the Lord to arrest these people. When my people discovered them again, I found that the White Lotus Sect was already in trouble in Shanzhou, from Shengdou to the rich families with families, a large number of people joined the White Lotus Sect. In Shanzhou, there were only more than a hundred places in the White Lotus Sect, and the form was about to break out."

Zheng Changping stood up suddenly, "This is impossible."

Qin Sheng was unmoved at all, "The White Lotus Sect has experienced failure in the south and has acted much more cautiously. I suspect that one of them who knows our inner thoughts is guiding them. On the surface, there is indeed nothing, but there is a surging wave in secret. After Master Jing found that something is wrong, he immediately sent me to assist Lord Zheng in handling the matter. After I arrived in Shanzhou, I sent personnel to secretly arrest the other party's important figures several times, but just like last year, these people were killed on the road shortly after they set off. Look

Shanzhou has penetrated every corner of the White Lotus Sect. I didn’t want to disturb Lord Zheng, so I did this job, but it’s not possible now. I suspect that the White Lotus Sect already has a more formal force, and they must have an organization similar to our small black room, so that they can kill me purposefully and efficiently. Lord Zheng, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. I can’t run away or jump to me. If I can’t do this job well, the emperor will not spare you, and my father-in-law will cut me alive."

Zheng Changping's face was covered in cold sweat, "This, this is unlikely, right?" Zheng Changping really didn't know about this. Since this year, he was thinking about how to pay the taxes of the court and how to get out the disaster relief supplies allocated by the court from Shanzhou. Who told him to report a good weather and a bumper harvest in the whole province? Now that he heard Qin Sheng's unquestionable tone, he finally discovered the seriousness of the matter.

"Eunuch Qin, is this really that serious?"

Qin Sheng laughed a few times, "To put it bluntly, now Shanzhou is just a bundle of dry firewood. Just a little spark is needed. With a loud fire, it will ignite and burn you and me to ashes."

"Then, what should we do?"

"My people have found the place where this group of people is settled. But after my men arrived in Shanzhou, my losses were serious. Lord Zheng, I want you to be as elite as possible, join me, and directly attack Huangting, and capture all these important figures of the White Lotus Sect in one place. I only need to catch these people, and the shadows that cover you and me will naturally disappear invisible, and I will make great contributions."

"Okay, okay, Eunuch Qin, just say, how many people do you want?" Zheng Changping said authentically.

"At least three thousand!" Qin Sheng said: "I want to set up a net of heaven and earth and ambush on all sides. This time, I must not let these monsters escape from heaven."

"Three thousand people?" Zheng Changping hesitated, "Is it necessary to use so many people just for some mud-legged poles?"

"It's worth it!" Qin Sheng said decisively: "These people are not ordinary people. They are extremely brave and extremely brave. According to the spies' reward, they have a gathering of hundreds of important people this time. With their guards, I'm afraid there are as many as thousands of people. I think there are fewer than three thousand people. What, Lord Zheng, to you, what is three thousand people? There are more than fifty thousand people in the Shanzhou Town Army."

Zheng Changping felt bitter. There were more than 50,000 people in the name of Shanzhou Town Army, but in fact there were only 30,000 people. These days, in order to forcibly collect taxes, the Town Army was sent to assist the taxpayers. The whole province is so big that 30,000 people are spread out, but there are no signs of them. At present, there are only less than 5,000 people in the city. If 3,000 people are transferred out, Shaanxi City will be a veritable empty city.

After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision. What can Shaanxi City be produced? Two thousand people are more than enough to maintain public order and arrest capitalists.

"Okay, I'll send three thousand people to help my grandfather-in-law."
