"Holy religion, empress..."
Li Yi looked away from Magistrate Liu with a thoughtful expression.
Liu Da nodded and said: "Yes, the servants of Prince Xin's Mansion did hear the words 'for the sake of your mother' from those four people. All kinds of evidence show that they were responsible for the arson case of Prince Xin's Mansion last night. .”
Li Yi's eyes moved, could it be that the Taoist nun came to the capital
Thinking about it carefully, it is unlikely that the foundation of the holy religion lies in the country of Qi. Now that the country of Qi is in chaos, the eldest prince and the third prince are fighting for the throne. They should not let go of this opportunity, let alone come to Jing country all the way , and he did not receive any news related to this.
But Xin Wang, when did he offend that nun
This is also unknown.
Li Yi knows that there are people from the Holy Cult in Kyoto, but within this organization, there has always been a single-line connection. The low-level congregation cannot access the core secrets, and it is difficult for outsiders to break in. Little is known.
The burning of Prince Xin's mansion did not rule out that they wanted to make some big news while the imperial court was approaching. King Xin was just lucky to be chosen by them.
In any case, at this time, the government still has to take strict precautions.
Li Yi looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "Although these people hide secrets, there are always some clues. You should pay attention to the cases of missing persons in the suburbs of Beijing, or the abnormal behavior of certain villages, and you should find out..."
From Li Yi, I got a lot of news about the holy religion. When Liu Dayou came out of Li's house, he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't tell exactly what he had overlooked.
The death of the son of the former Minister of Industry and the burning of Prince Xin’s Mansion, although the time is far apart, they should all be committed by the same group of people, what is their motive, and what is the connection between these two cases—Liu Dayou rubbed With some swollen heads, Xin Wang's mansion was just the house burned, and no one was killed. This matter needs to be pushed back for the time being. It's time for the debriefing at the meeting.
Li Yi didn't think much about the holy religion.
Their power in Jingguo is limited, and the capital is under heavy pressure. After burning Xinwang's mansion, they have already exposed some flaws. If they make any further moves, they will definitely not be able to escape the court's pursuit.
What he should care about is the current affairs.
Although Zui Mo has not yet entered the house, he is already the second... the third hostess in the family. These two days, Ruyi has been guiding her to familiarize herself with the affairs of the house. Today, she was taken by the old lady to recognize her. Together, Miss Liu went to the league, and he and Ruoqing were the only ones left at home.
When he was sitting in the yard, Ruoqing brought over a cup of hot tea.
Li Yi thought of one thing, and said, "If you want to go out or go to the Goulan these days, I will accompany you. Don't go out alone."
Those people in the Holy Church are all lunatics, and Li Yi is still a little worried that the nun will make a comeback and attack the people around him. Although the possibility of this is very low, he can't let them take this risk.
Ruoqing looked at him worriedly, and asked, "Did something happen?"
"Xinwang's Mansion was burned. It was done by the 'Holy Cult'. I'm worried that they will be against you."
"Holy religion?" Ruo Qing was stunned, and asked with some doubts: "The Prince Xin's Mansion, did they burn it?"
Li Yi nodded, and said, "I don't know how King Xin offended their Queen of Heaven, and made those believers retaliate like crazy, but he deserved what he deserved..."
Ruoqing said in a low voice: "That Queen of Heaven, she must be very powerful..."
"I don't know if other places are powerful or not, but the kung fu is quite powerful, and the power of the Holy Cult should not be underestimated. If they confront them, the court may have a headache."
Li Yi suddenly remembered that he still had a brand of the holy religion here, a brand that is under one person and above ten thousand people. If something happens to the Taoist nun one day—thinking about it carefully, I still think it's best not to get involved with those people connect.
Although that force is indeed huge, every single person who has been brainwashed is like a terrorist, and it is uncomfortable to think about being surrounded by these people.
Ruoqing asked tentatively: "What if the imperial court catches that Empress Dowager?"
"I'm afraid there won't be any good results." Li Yi shook his head and said: "The people in the holy religion act cruelly, and they should have done a lot of things that endangered the court. If the court catches their queen, they will definitely not tolerate them. At that time, I am afraid that there will be a big shock in the world."
The nun gathered such a huge force, no one would believe her if she didn't want to rebel. Throughout the ages, there have been many examples of this. Once that time comes, it must be the result of blood flowing into rivers and corpses strewn all over the field.
Ruoqing didn't ask any further, just smiled and said: "The Goulan is very busy these days, I want to go and have a look."
Also idle at home, Li Yi stood up and said, "I'll accompany you."
After sending Ruoqing to Goulan, Li Yi and the slovenly old man found a quiet place to drink tea and watch the show, waiting for her to finish her work.
"Miss Wan."
"Hello, sister Ruoqing."
"I met Miss Ruoqing."
…
Ruoqing walked all the way, the actors in the Goulan saluted one after another.
They respected and appreciated her from the bottom of their hearts. It was she who changed the industry and allowed them, actors who traveled across the state and slept on the streets, to live a good life now.
After she walked into a room, she ordered: "Xiao Qi, go find Xu Zheng and ask him to come over."
"Okay, I'll go now." A girl nodded and walked out the door.
Xu Zheng is also very famous in Goulan. He was just a beggar at first, and he did some cleaning work in exchange for porridge every day. But because he was serious about his work, worked hard, and was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, he was promoted to work in Goulan as an exception. Many people here know him.
After a while, a young man came in from the outside, closed the door gently, turned around, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, respectfully saying: "Your subordinates will see your mother!"
Ruoqing rubbed the center of her brows, and said helplessly, "I've said it many times, I'm not your empress, you've got the wrong person..."
Xu Zheng didn't speak again, but the respectful expression on his face grew stronger.
Ruoqing didn't argue with him, stood up, looked at him and asked, "Are you... are those from the Holy Cult?"
"It's the holy religion of the empress!"
She clenched her fists slightly, and asked again: "Xin Wang Mansion..., did you burn it?"
Xu Zheng solemnly said: "If he wants to harm the empress, he will be punished!"
Her knuckles were a little white, and her voice trembled slightly, "Then, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, those people..., also, also..."
"Intent to hurt the empress, they all deserve to die!"
Ruoqing sat back on the chair weakly, his face turned pale, and murmured: "I, I am not your mother, you, why are you..."
The young man buried his head deeper, and said: "Your Majesty, the government has noticed our existence, and the capital is no longer safe. For your safety, this subordinate suggests that we should leave here earlier..."
"go out… "
"Young lady, think twice!"
"go out!"
She has always spoken softly, but at this moment, she is so decisive and unquestionable.
"Your subordinate obeys orders!" Xu Zheng said respectfully, without looking up, he stood up and retreated decisively.
She stared blankly at the empty room, leaned on the table, sobbing softly.
"why me… "
"Why now..."
"I'm not, I'm not the Empress Dowager..."
…
When seeing Ruoqing again, Li Yi was startled, looked into her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with you..."
Judging by her appearance, it was clear that she had just cried. Since he knew Ruoqing, he had never seen her shed tears for anything...
"It's okay, I read a script just now, it was too sad, so I couldn't hold back..." She shook her head with a smile, and said, "Let's go home."
"What script..." Li Yi asked in surprise, a warm and soft touch suddenly came from his hand, he looked down, and subconsciously clenched it, no longer caring about the script, nodded and said: "Well, let's go back Home."
