"I'm deeply sorry for what's happened to the people of Quanzhou, and I empathize with them. After all, we invested a lot of money in Quanzhou, and now it's all gone to waste."
"The White Lotus Sect's evildoers were absolutely ruthless. Not only did they capture Quanzhou City, they also committed murder and arson, destroying this ancient city with a century of history."
"The White Lotus Sect is simply insane and has brought disaster to the country and the people. We must resolutely eradicate the White Lotus Sect!"
"Resolutely eradicate the White Lotus! Demand an explanation for our former homeland!"
With the help of the person Lu Chen specially placed in the crowd, the attention of the people in the entire Quanzhou city was diverted.
They also felt that all this was to blame on the White Lotus Sect. If it hadn't been for the White Lotus Sect suddenly appearing, they would have been able to become rich overnight. Just relying on the interest on their deposits, they could have lived a very comfortable life.
Now all of this has come to nothing, and I must ask the White Lotus for an explanation.
Now, most of the White Lotus bandits in the city have been killed or injured. The question now is where is the White Lotus's lair?
Originally, it was a very difficult task to find the White Lotus Sect's base in Quanzhou, but now the White Lotus Sect has become the target of public criticism and has been caught in the vast ocean of the people's war, so someone soon found Lu Chen and said that he knew where the White Lotus Sect's headquarters was.
Lu Chen was very satisfied. He did not let his personal soldiers take action, but mobilized the masses, declaring that as long as they rushed into the White Lotus headquarters, whoever grabbed the things would own them.
When the people of Quanzhou, who were already desperate to win, heard this, they became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Looking at the huge crowd setting off, Zhao Gongming felt a little sorry and said, "Master State Master, isn't it a bit unsafe to send ordinary people over like this?"
"There's nothing insecure about it. Returns are always proportional to risks. If they want to get rich overnight, they must be prepared for sudden death."
"Besides, if they don't explore the way, are they going to use the lives of our soldiers to explore the way?"
Facts proved that Lu Chen's worries were not unfounded. The people did encounter many traps and ambushes along the way.
Fortunately, there are enough people, and they are now desperate to win, so they can easily overcome any traps.
The moment they rushed into the White Lotus Sect's headquarters, these people just let themselves go.
Facts have proven that without moral constraints, there is no difference between humans and beasts.
Those White Lotus sect members who were ferocious in the past became salted fish at the mercy of others when faced with a large number of people.
After hearing the news, Mou Ping came to Lu Chen and said, "Master Imperial Master, do you want to control it? After all, this is the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect. Maybe there are some good things there."
Lu Chen sat there leisurely drinking tea and said, "There's no need to snatch food from these poor people. If the White Lotus Sect was really wealthy, they wouldn't be tempted by money."
"Besides, even if there are good things, it's too easy to get them back from these people. Maybe one or two steamed buns can be exchanged for something priceless."
"We are civilized people, and we should always be more respectful when doing things. Oh, right, let's have our people go down and protect Huang Ah Niu. He has made a great contribution this time."
After saying that, Lu Chen began to stare at the sky in the distance in a daze. Now all obstacles to the expansion of Quanzhou City have been removed, and various construction tasks should be put on the agenda.
This day was undoubtedly a day of suffering for Quanzhou City.
But for the Da Qi court, this day was a day of great joy.
When the news that the White Lotus Sect had been completely wiped out reached the capital and landed on Li Zhuo's desk, Li Zhuo felt as if he were floating.
The evil cult that has been entrenched in Da Qi, the nightmare that has been impossible to get rid of since the birth of Da Qi, has actually been completely eradicated?
"As expected of the Imperial Master, you quietly gave me such a big surprise!"
Putting the memorial in his hand on the table, Li Zhuo stood up and walked around excitedly.
At this moment, his joy was beyond words, and he had a strong desire to share, so he stopped and ordered: "Let the six ministers come!"
Soon, the six ministers came to Li Zhuo's study. Li Zhuo didn't waste any words and directly handed the memorial in his hand to everyone.
After several ministers finished reading it, seeing the equally shocked expressions on their faces, Li Zhuo didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of honor in his heart.
It felt like Adou and Zhao Yun joined forces to defeat twenty generals of Cao's army at Changbanpo. The main move was a random killing.
The first to react was the Minister of Rites, who had recovered. He immediately fell to his knees and shouted "Long live the emperor!" with tears streaming down his face as he said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Now that the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed, another major threat to our dynasty has been eliminated. The revival of the Great Qi is just around the corner!"
Normally, Kefuji would not bother to do such flattery, but this time the matter was too big, and Jiang Tao was not around, so he had to do it himself.
Xu Yan, the Minister of Justice, looked at Ke Fuji and felt jealous.
Logically speaking, the destruction of the White Lotus Sect should have been the responsibility of their Ministry of Justice, but the old guy from the Ministry of Rites got there first!
Xu Yan also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that we immediately send someone to Quanzhou to investigate whether this matter is true. If it is true, we must also bring back the head of the White Lotus Sect's main culprit!"
Li Zhuo nodded excitedly and said, "For something this serious, we should indeed be cautious. Let's send someone there. By the way, the Imperial Master also mentioned in this memorial that Quanzhou City is now in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. He hopes the court can provide some financial support for rebuilding Quanzhou City."
"Since we're sending people to investigate the matter, why not take the money and grain along as well? Lord Liang, are there any problems with the Ministry of Revenue?"
Liang Licang's face turned green. It was certainly a cause for celebration that the Great Qi Dynasty was able to eliminate the White Lotus Sect, but what did this have to do with their Ministry of Revenue?
Now, not only will the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites benefit, but we will also have to lose money and food.
That means rebuilding a main city, and Lu Chen is doing it personally. How can the cost be low?
Just look at the previous Bazhou City and you will know that the investment was absolutely astonishing.
Because of the good things that happened a lot during this period, the Ministry of Revenue finally saved up some money, but now it’s about to be wasted!
Li Zhuo didn't care about that. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and do it. Once the news is confirmed, I will burn a memorial to offer sacrifice to the heavens!"
