: Cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot

Although the attack on the White Lotus Sect during this period was quite effective, the two big shots in the East Factory still seemed to have some shortcomings. One was that after Ni Wenhuan, the White Lotus Sect was lost again, and the other was that Li Pushi was gone, which made the two people who were thinking about using this matter to show their skills.

At this time, I heard that Tang Feng had something to see the two of them. Qin Xie and Chu Buer were both happy. Although the men and horses on both sides worked together for a while, if nothing big happened, Tang Feng and the two of them would not meet. Now Tang Feng came here in person, probably because they had made some progress in the White Lotus Sect. So the two of them did not dare to neglect them, and immediately put down their affairs and went out together.

After talking to Qin and Chu for a few words, Tang Feng smiled and said with a smile: "I guess the situation that the two big heads encountered was the same as mine. Although things looked very smooth, the people from the White Lotus Sect in the capital could not be found. What I said is right?" Qin Xie nodded quickly and said: "Yes, in our opinion, since Li Pushi can escape the joint search between you and me when he has internal and external injuries, there must be people from the White Lotus Sect in Beijing to help him. However, after this month, we can't even find any clues, which is really disgusting."

Although Chu Buer felt that Qin Xie had said everything he thoughts, he wanted to hear what Tang Feng meant, so he did not stop his brother. Tang Feng smiled and said, "Brother Chu really hit the nail on the head. Although we found important figures like Ni Wenhuan, with the ability of the White Lotus Sect, there must be other people in the capital. I came here for this thing today."

"Oh? Could it be that Lord Tang has found some clues?" Chu Buer became energetic when he heard this and asked hurriedly. Qin Xie even widened his eyes and waited for Tang Feng to tell the answer. Although the people in the East Factory were extremely powerful, they were not formal courts after all, which made it more difficult for them to make contributions than the Jinyiwei. If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's reasons, they would have difficulty in making a move, so it would be very urgent to dig out the spies of the White Lotus Sect in Beijing.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It was because I was too careless for a moment. I had obviously had extremely favorable objects in my hand, but I never thought that I had discovered these things unintentionally until just now." As he said that, a personal soldier who was by his side put a stack of letters and famous posts in his hand on the table.

"Brother Tang, what does this mean?" Qin Xie asked at the thing in front of him with some confusion.

"The things here are the evidence I mentioned. Do you remember what Lu Tianxiang captured for me before? Shortly after he was thrown into the imperial prison by me, many officials of the current dynasty brought me these things and begged me for mercy, wanting our Jinyiwei to give up his hands and let Boss Lu go. Why do you think these people risk offending me to do this?"

"This... Maybe Lu Tianxiang gave them a lot of benefits. The man was short and saw that he was captured by Brother Tang, these people naturally had to say something for him." Qin Xie thought for a moment and gave an answer.

Chu Buer also nodded and said, "Yes, I guess they did this because of this reason. Is there anything suspicious?"

"Of course there are suspicious things. I wonder if you want to bribe an official in the court, how much money does a businessman have to spend? Even if he is a Lu Tianxiang family, the nearly fifty court officials are not something he can bribe, right? I can't deny that there are indeed people who have bought him for him, but do you think there is anything tricky about it?"

"Do you mean that some of them are the White Lotus Sect who sneaked into my court?" Chu Buer soon thought of it and asked in a slightly trembling voice. This was not because he was surprised that so many people were suspected, but because of his excitement, he could finally show his skills.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. Some of these people must be from the White Lotus Sect. I wonder if the two of them want to find these people out?"

"That's great!" Qin Xie reached out and took a famous post and read it. Tang Feng was also happy to see that his plan had indeed worked. This trick was indeed the most amazing way to block these people's mouths, but he also knew that with his current situation, if he wanted to attack these people who were criticizing Yuan Chonghuan, he would be blocked by Wei Zhongxian, and might even make mistakes and put himself in an unfavorable situation. So he thought of using these people from the East Factory again.

Chu Buer also opened a letter of pleading. After a few glances, he realized that what Tang Feng said was indeed true. These letters were written by the adults in the court. Just based on these things, there is reason to doubt that these people had anything to do with Lu Tianxiang and the White Lotus Sect. However, he did not put all his mind on these things like Qin Xie, but looked at Tang Feng, because he always felt that Tang Feng must have his own intention to do this, and he would not be so cheap from his Dongchang.

Sure enough, after seeing this, Chu Buer saw a smug smile on the corner of Tang Feng's mouth. Why did he do this? Soon, Chu Buer thought of the problem. As the head of the East Factory, although they were the confidants of Eunuch Wei, they did not participate in the party that day because they did not belong to court officials. However, Chu Buer still knew clearly about this matter. After reading these names, he had guessed Tang Feng's purpose, so after a smile, he said: "Master Tang did this just to deal with the people of the White Lotus Sect, right?"

"Why did Brother Chu say this?" Tang Feng was stunned and subconsciously wanted to deny it.

Chu Buer pointed to the names on the letters and famous posts, and said with a smile: "If you remember correctly, many of these people are the officials who impeached Yuan Chonghuan this time. And I heard that Brother Tang, you were trying to protect Yuan Chonghuan in front of the nine thousand years old. Could it be that you want to use my Dongchang to help you get rid of these disasters this time?"

Tang Feng really didn't expect that Chu Buer could see the problem so thoroughly. He saw through his intentions in a blink of an eye and felt a little panicked. But soon, he calmed down again. He knew that he would look down on these two people if he denies it now, so he simply said without hiding it: "Brother Chu said so much. I do have such thoughts. But these things are absolutely true. I didn't pretend to protect Yuan Chonghuan. If Brother Chu is worried about being used by me, forget it. I will use the power of my Jinyiwei to check them."

"Hey, Brother Tang, you misunderstood." Seeing that Tang Feng reached out to take the evidence back, Chu Buer hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "I just asked questions for a while, why should Brother Tang be angry? Some of these people will be unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty court. As the chief of the Dongchang factory, I should try my best to find them out. How could I give up because of some small questions?"

"So Brother Chu is willing to join hands with me?" Tang Feng asked while the iron was hot.

"Of course, although this may cause something to change in the court, it has nothing to do with my Dongchang." Chu Buer smiled meaningfully. In fact, he said this just to show Tang Feng that he was not a fool, and he knew the tricks that Tang Feng had played.

Tang Feng said: "Brother Chu has something I want you to know. It's true that I really want to protect Yuan Chonghuan, but it's for my Ming Dynasty. Just like I'm here to find you this time. So if you think I want to use this matter to protect Yuan Chonghuan, it would be a big mistake."

Looking at Tang Feng's serious face, Chu Buer and the others believed it a little, and nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we can be more relaxed in doing things." Of course, the most important reason why they agreed to join forces with Tang Feng was that they had always wanted to completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect. Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian asked for me, so they agreed with the flow.

Two days later, there was another storm in the capital that made all the officials feel in danger. Many censors and other officials were still in the yamen in the morning, but were summoned from the yamen in the afternoon. When the families of these people saw that the master went to the yamen to inquire after he had not returned at night, they realized that they were picked up by people from the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang. Seeing that it was the people from these two places, the people were immediately panicked. Everyone knew that it would be nothing small to enter these two places. And in this era when the court was full of turbidity, their butts were of course very unclean.

In the Embroidered Prison, the officials who had been imprisoned for three days had lost their glory when they were away. Not only were they covered in dust, but they were still full of fear. Although the people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard have not tortured them yet, listening to the painful cry of other prisoners in the prison every day is also extremely devastating to them. And when they are locked up in such a place where they are invisible, the more they don’t ask them, the more pressure they put on, and these people are almost unable to withstand this torment.
