"Why are my hands so owed?!" Watching Han Qing, protected by a group of veterans of the Zhenrong Army, board the carriage and meander away. Looking at his hand that just grabbed the book, Ding'an County Magistrate
Chen Dong wanted to cry but had no tears.
Roster! That volume is actually the roster of the Red Lotus Sect! Zhang Wei, the wicked former magistrate of Ding'an County, faked his own death and ran away, and actually gave him the names of the core figures of the Red Lotus Sect that he knew.
, place of birth, and where you live now, I recorded a copy and put it in the coffin!
And he, Chen Dong, the current magistrate of Ding'an County, was the first person in the world to open the roster and read out the names on it in public!
If Han Qing hadn't been quick enough just now, he would have almost become the first "hero" to reveal to the public the true identities of the Red Lotus Sect's leader, Dharma King, Holy Aunt, Holy Girl, etc.!
If he had been regarded as a "hero" just now, it is estimated that the Red Lotus Sect's primary assassination target in the future will no longer be Han Qing, but Chen Dong.
However, even though he is not regarded as a "hero" now, his life may not be easy. Just now, countless pairs of eyes saw him opening the first page of the roster.
Chen Dong can imagine that after sunset tonight, how many people with ulterior motives will come to him to "ask for advice." And most of them are probably inextricably involved with the Red Lotus Sect.
"Why are my hands so shabby?" Thinking of the trouble he was about to encounter, Chen Dong couldn't help but use his left hand to make a knife shape and chop his right wrist repeatedly.
However, at this moment, even if he chops off his hands, it is too late to undo his mistake. The only way left is to walk to the dark side.
Thinking of this, he simply changed his mind and decisively exercised his powers as county magistrate, "Wang Han, Ma Tie, you two go prepare the car and work with me to escort Judge Han back to Chang'an. The matter is very important, I must follow
He co-escorted that roster!”
"Yes!" Wang Han and Ma Tie, the catchers, vaguely sensed the approaching danger, agreed decisively, and trotted to arrange the ride.
Looking away from the two of them, Chen Dong quickly turned his head and began to arrange an escape route for the family, "Chen Fu, please inform Madam to pack up quickly and take the children to my father's place."
"Chen Shu, go back and inform the old man. After he picks up my wife, he will immediately lead the whole family to my brother's house in Danzhou to avoid the limelight. Don't come back before I come back from Jingzhao Mansion!"
…
He is not Han Qing. He is not as skilled as the latter, and he does not have a grandfather who has led soldiers far away in Bianliang. Therefore, in order to avoid becoming the target of revenge by the Red Lotus Sect, he has no choice but to leave Ding'an County with his family.
Let’s talk about this right and wrong.
As for whether after the incident, he would lose the county magistrate position he had just obtained a few days ago because of his timidity. At this moment, Chen Dong could no longer think about it.
Officials can only be held by living people. Money can only be spent by living people.
If he loses his official position as county magistrate, he can still go home and become a village virtuous man. But if he loses his life, everything he has now will have to be taken advantage of by others!
It has to be said that some people are born with the ability to predict danger.
That night, a group of men in black of unknown origin emerged from different streets and alleys in Ding'an County and attacked the county government office which had just been repaired a few days ago.
However, the county magistrate Chen Dong was not there, and the positions of county captain and registrar were still vacant. The man in black found nothing except some valuables that Chen Dong had not had time to take away.
Worried about being surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, they did not dare to occupy Ding'an County for too long. After dawn, they looted several gold shops and grain shops and left.
"The former county magistrate is not dead, there is no body in the coffin!"
"Zhang Wei hates the Red Lotus Sect for dragging him into trouble and leaving the Red Lotus Sect's roster in the coffin!"
"The people from the Red Lotus tried to get the roster back, but they failed."
"The roster fell into the hands of Judge Han, and he wanted to hand it over to Kou Laoxi'er himself!"
…
I am afraid that the leaders of the Red Lotus Sect who took the lead in the attack on the Ding'an County Government Office did not expect that their actions completely confirmed the authenticity and importance of the roster from the side.
As the man in black left, the news spread rapidly from Ding'an County to the surrounding areas, as if it had wings.
Judge Han could be made to give up tracing Zhang Wei's whereabouts and turn around and return to Chang'an at starry night.
The county magistrate Chen Dong can be made to give up his duties and take the initiative to escort Han Qing.
It allowed the people of the Red Lotus Sect to attack the Ding'an County Government Office overnight, at the risk of being hunted down by officers and soldiers.
How can that roster be fake?
As for whether the former county magistrate is dead or alive, and where he is now, no one cares anymore.
Anyone who has paid any attention to current affairs in the entire Yongxing Military Road knows that the moment the roster is delivered to Kou Laoxi'er, it is the time when the imperial court begins its final reckoning with the backbone of the Red Lotus Sect.
With Kou Laoxi's decision-making ability and acting style, he must first arrest all the people on the list according to the roster, regardless of authenticity!
"This time, the Yongxing Military Road may really change!" Someone took stock of the situation and sighed after considering a series of recent events.
The Red Lotus Sect is aggressively recruiting followers on Yongxing Military Road, amassing money and harming people. This is not something that happened in the past one or two years.
Not all of the successive economic comfort envoys and transfer envoys are willing to turn a blind eye to the actions of the Red Lotus Sect, and not all of them are willing to be complicit with them.
In the past, among the strategic pacification envoys and transfer envoys sent by the imperial court, there must have been some who tried to cut off the "sore" of the Red Lotus Sect.
However, the Red Lotus Sect has penetrated too deeply into the government, and its influence is intertwined. After careful planning of the pacification envoys and transfer envoys, it is impossible to break their muscles and bones without using the force of a strong man to break their wrists. It may even cause a crazy backlash.
Not only that, several core backbones of the Red Lotus Sect were hidden extremely secretly. Even the economic pacification envoys and transfer envoys sent by the imperial court did not understand the local situation. If you want to find this backbone of the Red Lotus Sect, one must
It is simply impossible to do it during my term of office.
Therefore, even if there are economic appeasement envoys and transfer envoys who try to "touch" the Red Lotus Sect, the final result will definitely be nothing.
In this way, those second-grade and third-grade officials who had to leave as the previous economic pacifier or transshipment envoy simply chose to turn a blind eye to the Red Lotus Sect.
Anyway, the Red Lotus does not seem to have any plans to rebel. However, the imperial government deployed people to interfere in the evaluation and appointment of officials. Looking at the Song Dynasty, it was not just the Red Lotus who was doing this, but also some local wealthy families.
, doing it more unscrupulously.
However, that is all the old almanac of the past.
Today, with the exposure of the Red Lotus Sect's roster, the situation is completely different from before.
Kou Zhun did not need to spend a year or two to slowly find out how many officials were working for the Red Lotus Sect in the Yongxing Army.
There is no need to spend any more effort digging out the backbone of the Red Lotus Sect one by one.
After he got the list, as long as he had the courage to risk completely paralyzing the Yongxing Military Road government and arrest people according to the list, he could solve all problems.
And what Kou Zhun lacks most is courage!
"Not necessarily, Ding'an is far away from Chang'an. Who knows whether the person named Han will be alive in the end? Leave the list in the hands of Kou Zhun!" There are others who have experienced many big scenes, and they have found out to the point that the Red Lotus Sect can resolve it.
The key to the crisis.
Let Han Qing and all the people who have come into contact with the roster disappear along with the roster!
Although the imperial court will definitely be furious if a sixth-grade judge is killed, and the rebellion will be investigated to the end. But the Red Lotus Sect has already rebelled once, will it care about another one?
Moreover, by killing Han Qing and destroying the roster, the true identities of most of the backbones of the Red Lotus Sect can be concealed again. Even if the court sends Li Jihe again with heavy troops to encircle and suppress, the Red Lotus Sect will just throw away a few
When the helmsman and the incense master go out, they can lose their soldiers and protect their commanders!
"Judge, Brother Han, can we go faster? Be careful of long nights and lots of dreams!" Bystanders can figure out the Red Lotus Sect's best solution to the problem. As a veteran official, Chen Dong, the magistrate of Ding'an County, can certainly think of it too. Therefore,
Along the way, he kept urging Han Qing to speed up.
"No need to be anxious, we have got the roster. When Prime Minister Kou gets the news, he will definitely send someone to deal with it." But Han Qing, no matter how much he urged, remained unhurried.
They walked up to sixty miles a day, and every twenty miles they walked, they also asked the brothers around them to stop and rest for half an hour. Traveling leisurely was even more relaxing than going out hunting.
"Brother Han, Judge Han, my Uncle Han, I beg you, don't let me scare you to death, okay?" Chen Dong, the magistrate of Ding'an County, was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night. Soon, his eyes were filled with tears.
A black frame around the circle.
Regardless of his official position, he found Han Qing again and begged, "The Red Lotus Sect will definitely not wait for Kou Zhun to arrest people according to the roster. They will definitely find ways to steal the roster and kill you and me. You are late."
One day in Chang'an, the two of us face twice the risk."
"I know, that's why I'm not in a hurry!" Calculating the distance, we will enter the Jingzhao Mansion in half a day. Han Qing finally couldn't bear to continue looking at Chen Tongchou's broken bones, smiled, and lowered his voice.
He gave the answer loudly, "They are the ones I am waiting for. Otherwise, why would I go all the way to Ding'an County?!"
