Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 227: Devastated, King Ning was arrested

Tang Saier was shocked by the Jin Yiwei who suddenly broke into the room. She already felt that something was wrong.

However, she still calmed down and thought about how to deal with it.

She waved her hand to signal the old woman to step back and said, "Master, please sit down."

The man in gorgeous clothes is Feng Ziying. Now the area near Tongbai Mountain has been closely monitored by Jin Yiwei, and the person in charge is Feng Ziying.

Jia Qiong is about to close the net, so people who come out of Miaoxian Temple will be directly controlled as long as they leave a certain range.

So as soon as Tang Saier's carriage came out of the mountain, it was targeted by the Jin Yiwei.

There were almost no people traveling by carriage in Miaoxian Temple. Feng Ziying felt that the people in the carriage were not ordinary, so she followed them in person.

The carriage went all the way south, covering more than 30 miles in the morning, and was beyond the surveillance range.

So Feng Ziying showed up directly and prepared to arrest the person.

When Feng Ziying entered the door, he saw Tang Saier's profile, and even he couldn't help but admire how beautiful she was.

However, when he sat directly opposite Tang Sai'er, he discovered that there was a large bright red birthmark on the left half of her face, which detracted a lot from her beautiful face, which was a pity.

Feng Ziying asked: "This lady is traveling alone in a car. Where are you going?"

Tang Sai'er replied: "To tell you the truth, the young lady is going to Jiangxi."

Feng Ziying asked again: "Where is madam's home and why do you have to go so far away?"

Tang Sai'er said: "The little woman's home is in Baihe Town, Tongbai Mountain.

Because her husband died unfortunately and she had no one to rely on, she decided to go to Jiangxi to join her brother's family. "

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Well, as far as I know, Madam should have come from Miaoxian Temple. Why do you say your home is in Baihe Town?"

When Tang Saier heard this, he felt even worse. The man in front of him obviously didn't meet by chance. He came here for her.

Thoughts were rolling in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face as she calmly replied: "The little woman's home is indeed in Baihe Town.

It was only because of the death of her husband that I started practicing at Miaoxian Temple for a while.

I recently received a letter from my brother asking me to come over, so I decided to go there to visit my relatives. "

When Feng Ziying saw the woman in front of her answering questions fluently, she became even more convinced that this person was anything but simple.

How could an ordinary woman be so calm when faced with such a situation?

He smiled and said: "Since Madam is from Miaoxian Temple, I'm sorry, you have to come with us."

The old woman became anxious when she heard this and said, "What do you do? Why do you want us to go with you? Do you want to rob civilian girls?"

Tang Sai'er said quickly: "Mommy, don't talk nonsense, please don't take this uncle offended.

It's just that I am a woman who has never met the uncle. I don't know why I offended you. "

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Madam, you have not offended me, but now everyone who comes out of Miaoxian Temple must come with us.

No need to talk nonsense, please. "

Tang Saier asked: "Where are you taking us?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

Tang Sai'er was put into a carriage and soon sent to a military camp.

She desperately discovered that the military camp was in a mountain valley not far from Tongbai Mountain. They were obviously heading for the Miaoxian Temple.

Tang Sai'er was brought to a military tent and heard Feng Ziying enter and report: "Sir, I just captured a woman. I suspect she is an important figure in the White Lotus Sect."

"I know, I'll bring Jiang Jin here later to let him recognize me. Judging by the time, almost all the people who went to various provinces to suppress thieves have arrived.

We don’t have to wait any longer, we will take down the Miaoxian Temple tomorrow. "

The conversation coming out of the military tent made Tang Saier feel like he was falling into an abyss.

She originally had a glimmer of hope in her heart, but she didn't expect that not only the main altar would be in danger, but the entire foundation of the White Lotus Sect would be destroyed.

Jiang Jin was also arrested. It was obvious that he had betrayed the White Lotus Sect, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.

In early November, after a light snowfall, the weather quickly turned cold, and the people of Chang'an City had already felt the power of winter.

In recent days, people have been talking about three things the most.

The first thing is the new heating stoves and radiators launched by the Freemasonry. These are closely related to people's lives, so they are the most talked about.

In this day and age, winter is very difficult for ordinary people.

Rich families also have earth dragon stoves and the like, but ordinary people don't have these in their homes. If they want to stay warm, they can only light charcoal pots.

However, charcoal is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Burning coal is even worse. Although ordinary coal is very cheap, people all know that burning it in the house will poison people.

The heating stove sold by the Freemasons this time is not only effective in heating, but can also be used for cooking in the house. There is no fear of poisoning when burning coal, and ordinary families can afford it.

Radiators are sold to relatively wealthy families. If you install one and use it with a charcoal stove, the whole house will be very warm.

It's not like a furnace that can only burn good charcoal, and no matter how good the charcoal is, it still has smoke and smoke, and people can't stand it after a long time.

Another incident was the sudden annihilation operation launched by the imperial court against the White Lotus Sect.

Good news came from the five provinces one after another, and the main altar of the White Lotus Sect and branches in various places were destroyed one after another.

Emperor Longqing immediately issued an imperial edict to punish only the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, and only used imprisonment for ordinary believers. The general believers would not be blamed.

The White Lotus Sect, which had just reappeared in the public eye, quickly disappeared from people's sight, just like the first snowfall, leaving only waves of chill.

This operation can be said to be like a thunderstorm, breaking out suddenly and ending quickly.

For the common people, the White Lotus Sect might just be a topic of conversation after dinner, but it had a profound impact on the imperial court.

The first person to be affected was Prince Ning, the protagonist of the third incident.

This matter has attracted a lot of attention. Even after several days, the popularity has not diminished, and people often bring it up to discuss it.

After the White Lotus Sect in Nanzhili was destroyed, Yulin General Xu Shan suddenly surrounded Prince Ning's Mansion in Shouchun County, Huainan.

Subsequently, a large number of prohibited weapons and illegal items, such as dragon robes, jade seals, etc., were found from Prince Ning's mansion, as well as many letters, which confirmed Prince Ning's rebellion.

Emperor Longqing immediately issued an order to deprive Prince Ning of his title and demote him to a commoner. He ordered Xu Shan to escort Prince Ning's family to the capital for trial.

This incident was tantamount to a major earthquake for the imperial court.

Xu Shan is still on the road, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Beijing until the end of the month.

Once Prince Ning enters the capital, the DPRK will probably face another major purge, and I don't know how many people will be implicated.

Those officials who had dealings with King Ning were already in a panic.

There are rumors that because of this incident, the Supreme Emperor was so angry that his old illness relapsed, and he has been bedridden recently.

Although Emperor Longqing visited Chonghua Palace every day, he was scolded by the Supreme Emperor every time. The relationship between the two seemed to be about to completely break down.
