Chapter 391 Dawn
The battle in the entire capital was indeed coming to an end, and the Japanese pirates were almost wiped out. However, their battle to trap beasts also cost the heavy price of Jinyiwei and the East Factory. There were many casualties. On the other hand, it can be seen that these Japanese pirates are already much higher than those of the Ming Dynasty soldiers. This is why the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not the opponents of the Japanese pirates in the early stage when the Japanese pirates were wiped out along the coast.
But no one is sure whether the Japanese pirates have been wiped out. If the emperor reports that the Japanese pirates have been completely wiped out and the Japanese pirates come out to cause trouble, wouldn’t that be slap themselves in the face? In addition, this is also a deception of the emperor, and deception of the emperor is a serious crime.
Even if it was Lu Bing or Cao Shi, he had no choice but to order the Jinyiwei to investigate again, hoping to dig three feet into the capital and completely search the possible remaining Japanese pirates.
However, Lu Bing and Cao Shi also made special arrangements, such as the residence of the right sect of Brahma, the high priest, and the left sect. Except for the places where Wang Bi and his group stayed, the rest were not moved. On the one hand, many of these people were ruthless characters in the martial arts world at the time, and their kung fu was also good. If the Jinyiwei took action, the worst result would be that the loss was poor and the man could not do anything to others in the end. In addition, the three dogs needed to bite the dog, and the best result was that the power balance of the three parties was to ensure that the power of the three parties was exhausted.
However, this play still has to be decided, and people will still be sent to investigate thoroughly. Whether it is the high priest or the left sect, they must stay in the capital steadily, so they naturally have all the things they need.
The East Factory or the Jinyiwei only needs to pretend to be a little bit and let them go, and there is no sign of any abnormality, and it will not make them suspect that this is deliberately letting go.
After the high priest and the right sect destroyed a stronghold of the left sect, they began to rush to support other Jinyiwei or Dongchang. Before coming, Zhao Yuan had already made it clear to the high priest that there was a saying that repaid the favor. If you want Jinyiwei to support your dream of fighting for hegemony in the future, you must at least show sincerity.
What is sincerity? It is not just a slogan, but something that everyone must do to see, such as the destruction of Japanese pirates.
As for the right sect, it is actually easier to control than the left sect. In a certain way, they are now Jinyiwei standing on the same front.
As for whether those in this team were killed by everyone in the martial arts world or traitors from famous and upright sects, Zhao Yuan didn't care about this, as long as they followed their commands.
As long as they see the fireworks, Zhao Yuan will lead everyone to rush over as quickly as possible and immediately enter the battle after arriving. Although the Japanese pirates are strong, they are not opponents of these people. For the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, they may be like wealthy wolf, tigers and leopards, but to Zhao Yuan and other people, they are like lambs and are not worth mentioning at all.
In a short time, they were slaughtered.
The matter of cleaning the battlefield was handed over to the Jinyiwei, and Zhao Yuan took them straight to another place. Anyway, they were all free laborers and they were very useful. Of course, Zhao Yuan had to make the best use of it.
Zhao Yuan is disguised now. These high priests do not know Zhao Yuan’s true identity. After all, they have never fought with Zhao Yuan, nor do they know Zhao Yuan’s kung fu. They only know that he is the Jinyiwei and a Jinyiwei with relatively strong martial arts skills. If they knew that they would be their biggest opponent now, the expression on their faces would be very exciting.
Three days!
The battle lasted for three days and three nights. The land of the capital was flipped several times. It was only after confirming that there were no Japanese pirates that the battle ended.
Although the battle is over, it does not mean that even if the matter is over, who brought these Japanese pirates into the capital, who arranged houses for them, etc., all of which must be thoroughly investigated, and these things are naturally handed over to the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang. They were doing these things.
For the capital, the matter has not been finished, or it has just begun. Foreign enemies are hateful, but traitors are even more unforgivable.
In the Golden Palace, the ministers stayed here for three days, and they were all eaten and drunk in this hall. Countless people yearned for it and wanted to step into the hall of the center of power. At this moment, they became the most gorgeous prison of the entire Ming Dynasty, and they really trapped the ministers here for three days. But no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. After all, the prison heads of this most gorgeous cell are the emperors today.
The key is that even Lu Bing and Cao Shi were trapped in this hall. They could convey orders through messengers, but could not leave here, and they had no chance to give advice to the emperor. Even if Emperor Jiajing came to court every day, no one dared to mention it.
However, they did not dare to blame the Jinyiwei and the East Factory for the slowness of the suppression of Japanese pirates. Now Lu Bing dared not provoke him, let alone one of the East Factory.
So they could only wait honestly and dare not complain at all. When they walked out of the Golden Palace, the older adults needed other young ministers to support them. Looking at the setting sun, they realized that the outside world was so good.
…………
Cao Shi also returned to Dongchang. Dongfangbei had been waiting for a long time and came forward to report: "Your report to the factory, the Zuo Sect has sent people to meet the officials, and I don't know how to answer!"
Cao Shi was also a little tired at this moment, leaning against the chair and saying, "Zuo Sect? What do they mean?"
Dongfangbei: "One of their strongholds was taken over by the high priest and the right sect, and thirteen casualties were all good players. I guess they came for this."
Cao Shi nodded slightly and said, "You can say whatever you should say before. I don't need to teach you. As for the back, I will provide them with a right sect base given by the Jinyiwei. Our Dongchang also sent someone to check this base. Anyway, the right sect knows that the left sect has something to do with us."
Dongfangbei: "The officials obey the order!"
Cao Shi continued, "In addition, I will leave this matter to you. I trust you. Do you understand?"
Dongfangbei was shocked and knelt on the ground and said, "The official understands, thank you!"
Cao Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down first, I'm tired!"
These days, I have been in the Golden Palace, and Cao Shi can't stand it.
Dongfangbei quickly got up, exited the room, and then went back immediately to ask Xiao He.
Some time ago, the streets were filled with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as well as the imperial guards. In just three days, there were nearly four thorough investigations. Whether it was Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they took turns to fight. In this case, Xiaohe and others did not dare to act rashly. Even though they were all good at all, they could not stop the imperial army. After three days of trembling, there was no news that other strongholds were wiped out. They were relieved, and the Dongchang also heard news that Dongfangbei wanted to see them.
Xiao He, who had already had a lot of doubts, finally got the news about Dongfangbei, so at night he came to Dongchang alone through a secret passage. At this moment, there was only Dongfangbei alone in the huge room. The butter candles with thick arms around the room shone brightly and darkly.
Dongfangbei glanced at Xiao He and asked in a deep voice: "I heard you are in this official?"
Xiao He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Grassip, greeting sir!"
Dongfangbei: "You're welcome. Everyone is a family now, so you don't need to hide it. Tell the truth."
Xiao He said: "Then Caomin is not polite. Caomin came this time to ask about something."
Dongfangbeidao: "You want to ask why the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and a large number of imperial guards searched the capital this time? Anyway, the matter has come to a long way. I would like to tell you that some Japanese pirates disguised as merchants and sneaked into the capital, intending to be ill-treated against the imperial court. Fortunately, the court has seen through their tricks and started to wipe them out before they launched an attack. In three days, it is impossible to guarantee that 100% of the Japanese pirates will be eliminated. At least 90% of them have been eliminated. There are more than 1,400 Japanese pirates of all sizes. By the way, if you ask about this, are your troops also losing? When you come to patrol where you live, you are deliberately arranged for the Dongchang people to get up. This so-called search is just a gesture of doing things?"
After he said this, Xiao He was really a little bit of pain and could not tell him. They also reserved the East Factory. There were two strongholds and no one told them truthfully. As a result, one of the strongholds was found by the Jinyiwei people and directly wiped out. More than a dozen good players were spared. However, the rest of those who announced their locations were just as Dongfangbei said. Those who came to patrol were all from the East Factory, so they pretended to behave. There were even conflicts between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei people who even had conflicts due to the search.
After thinking about it, Xiao He decided to hide the matter and said, "I don't know if there is anything unusual about this search in the East Factory?"
Dongfangbeidao: "The abnormalities? Of course there are many abnormalities. These are the ultimate points of Japanese pirates, and they were basically wiped out in the end. What do you mean by the abnormalities?"
Xiao He said: "The High Priest and the Right Sect also have many hiding places in the capital. I wonder if the adults have discovered it? For example, some Jinyiwei have checked it, but they are unwilling to let the East Factory check again!"
Dongfangbei's face darkened and said, "What do you mean is that the Jinyiwei turned a blind eye to the right sect and the high priest's men?"
Xiao He said: "That's exactly what it means."
Dongfangbei pondered for a moment and shouted: "Come here!"
A Dongchang scholar immediately stepped forward, Dongfangbei said what Xiao He meant just now, and then went down to check immediately. During this period, Dongfangbei also asked Xiao He to sit down and talk, and someone brought tea.
After sitting down, Xiao He asked, "Caomin is a little curious. How did the imperial court discover this when those Japanese pirates were hiding in the capital?"
The left sect sneaked into the capital, and their purpose was only the high priest and the right sect, and they didn't care much about the others, so they didn't know the reason for the matter. They waited now, so they naturally had to figure it out. On the other hand, it was just the lesson of the current car.
Dongfangbei Road: "I am not very clear about the specific reason. It seems that the Jinyiwei accidentally discovered it while chasing a case of gold robbery in an escort agency."
Xiao He said: "The golden case? Is it the escort agency? In the end, the blacksmith shop's blacksmith shop was silenced. Why is this related to the Japanese pirates?"
The case of the blacksmith shop being silenced was causing trouble in the capital. Xiao He and others probably knew something, but a blacksmith shop being silenced, and he was very curious about how the Japanese pirates were found out.
Dongfangbei Road: "It seems that the blacksmith shop was not completely silenced. There was also a blacksmith who was lucky enough to escape without going tonight. Later, he was rescued by the Jinyiwei. He learned from him that their blacksmith shop was casting Japanese pirates. After the blacksmith shop case, dozens of people were killed next to Lord Yan Song and Yan's house. Later, after investigation, these people were really Japanese pirates. So the Jinyiwei speculated that the purpose of the Japanese pirates was the court minister. In order not to give the Japanese pirates time to escape, the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards all took action and conducted a thorough investigation of the entire capital. Suddenly, the Dongchang did not have enough time to notify you. He could only arrange the officers' personnel to prevent the Jinyiwei from coming to investigate, and accidentally leaked the news."
In fact, Dongchang did the same. Several hiding places that had been leaked were indeed safe to pass, but Xiao He still had some questions about why the hiding places of Wang Bi and the group of people were discovered by the high priest and the right sect. Is Dongchang really unaware of it? But he did not disclose the stronghold.
Xiao He now feels like he has knocked off his teeth and can only swallow it into his stomach.
He laughed and cried in his heart, and said in surprise: "The Jinyiwei actually has such a powerful person? Can we infer the purpose of the Japanese pirates based on this point alone?"
Dongfangbei showed a disdainful smile on his face and said, "Awesome? To put it bluntly, it's just that his luck is a little better. He guessed the real purpose of the Japanese pirates. If he was lucky and the court mobilized so many troops and found out nothing, then the unlucky one would be the people from the Jinyiwei."
Dongfangbei was full of dissatisfaction. After all, Dongchang and the Jinyiwei are still in a competitive relationship. Although Dongchang has made a lot of efforts this time, he has wiped out many Japanese pirates, but compared with the credit, he still cannot compare with the Jinyiwei. After all, it was their purpose of discovering the Japanese pirates.
Xiao He was about to say that the monk who had just rushed to Dongchang rushed back again and said, "Sir, during the investigation, we found that there were two houses with Jinyiwei special care and had already been marked on the map. Please check it out!"
