Chapter 196 - Ten sample flowers 10
Li Shen was indeed lying. This recognition made Bo Ruoyou feel that Bo Lanzhou’s case was not that simple. “Hould Lord, Li Shen’s testimony was falsified, either to cover this cult, or it was the case of a few children. Inside, or, both are his goals.”
Huo Weilou handed her the long letter in his hand. As Bo Ruoyou read the letter, he continued: “Li Shen murdered six children in the past ten years. He began to relied on cheating the believers to earn money, and it seemed that he was suffering from illness, but his illness was nothing more than a coincidence.”
There seems to be real retribution in the heavens. Li Shen, who deceived people in Yizhou by wicked reasoning, was afraid that he never thought that he would really get such a terminal illness.
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then raised his voice and told the attendants outside, “Go to Jingzhao Yamen and let Sun Zhao come to the Hou Mansion.”
The attendant left, and he said again: “Li Shen began to believe in a cult before he returned to the vulgar. Then he must have gone astray in Feiyun Guan, or Feiyun Guan itself was not righteous, or he was back then. There are other cultists around.”
Li Shen grew up in Feiyun Temple, and he was taught by his master and his brothers since he was a child. If the master and his brothers were also cultists, then his many actions would make sense. But if the Taoists around him were all righteous, then he would later Becoming a cult is very weird.
Sun Zhao came very quickly, because he didn’t know what the Hou Mansion was calling for, he also took Wu Xiang with him. As soon as he entered the study, Huo Wei Building showed the news from Yizhou to Sun Zhao and both of them looked at them. Big change.
Sun Zhao said nervously: “This Li Shen is lying–“
Li Shen’s case file has been sent to the Criminal Department, and the case will be finalized soon. If the case changes, it is that their government office is not doing well. Huo Weilou put his expression in his eyes, and said: “Look carefully, Li Shen is in Yizhou. At that time, not only did it preach that the technique of death almost harmed people, but it also instigated people to commit crimes, and sacrificed the living to seek the protection of the true gods by the method of killing. Don’t you think it familiar?”
Sun Zhao is in charge of the management of officials inside and outside the capital, and his mind is not limited to the murder case, but Wu Xiang reacts faster than him, “Isn’t it because Jiang Xing and the others murdered Class Master Zhao?”
He looked at Sun Zhao, “Do adults remember the testimony of Chen Mo and Liu Qing? They said that they had planned to go south when they were young, but they met a benefactor at Gyeonggi Pier. This benefactor told them the Bodhisattva Sutra, which made them return to the capital. The benefactor’s remarks were the same as Li Shen’s words when he killed the family of the Zhao Banzhu.”
Sun Zhao suddenly realized that, and then he thought deeply, and couldn’t help but panic. “The person Liu Qing and the others met back then was not Li Shen, right?”
Wu Xiang frowned, “I still remember their confession. They said that En Gong was dressed in luxurious clothes. At first glance, it was a wealthy family, and it was quite a fairytale. A few words shocked them. Therefore, I only believed in the Bodhisattva Sutra, and that happened twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, Li Shen was already sick and went back to the Feiyun Temple. He was quite criticized for his unscrupulous behavior. The subordinates felt that Liu The person Qing and the others met should not be Li Shen.”
Huo Weilou looked at Sun Zhao, “Where are Liu Qing and Chen Mo?”
Sun Zhao hurriedly said: “I have been transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Because he murdered five lives in the past, he was convicted of ethical crimes such as killing masters and mothers. “
“Li Shen’s body is in Yizhuang?” Huo Weilou asked again.
When Sun Zhao nodded, Huo Weilou ordered: “Send someone to bring them up to recognize Li Shen’s body, just in case.”
Sun Zhao took the command, and Huo Weilou said again: “Send someone to Feiyun View to check carefully, and see if there are people in Feiyun View who do not correct the Tao. Li Shen had not been ill at the time, and he could not believe in death for nothing. The technique must be preached by him. Then check out what the pilgrims enshrined in Feiyun Temple from 14 years ago to now. If Li Shen hadn’t been guided by the masters, it would be very possible. It is the pilgrims who have visited the Taoist temple the most have problems, and combined with Liu Qing’s confession, most of them are either rich or noble.”
Li Shen returned to the vulgar in the 14th year of the establishment of Hehe. At this time, he is no longer an orthodox Taoist. That is to say, he was affected by the cult 14 years before the establishment of Hehe, and the Gyeonggi Ferry is only half a day away from the capital. No matter how it is calculated, this cult must have penetrated inside and outside the capital, and people who are rich or expensive have already participated.
Sun Zhao didn’t dare to think deeply. As the prefect of Jingzhaoyi, he didn’t dare to be careless, so he hurriedly took Wu Xiang on the job.
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then went to see Bo Ruoyou, and found that she was also in deep thought. The two of them met, and Bo Ruoyou couldn’t help but walk up to him, “Hou Ye, now that it’s up to now, it’s even more necessary for me to try. Try that.”
Huo Weiloujian frowned and didn’t respond for a while. Seeing that the two of them were in a deadlock next to Lu Ke, he felt nervous, so he was so busy that he slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet. When he left, he said thinly: “Master Hou, now we need to investigate more. Knowing whether Li Shen’s harm is his personal trip, and I may be the best witness, let’s try.”
The development of things was unexpected, and Bo Ruoyou was firm and unresolved. She looked at Huo Weilou with a stark gaze. She was as tough as him, and her heart was shaken by her. He raised his hand and said, “Come here–“
Bo Ruoyou went after the book case. Huo Weilou took her to make her sit on her lap. He did not speak, but rubbed Bo Ruoyou’s palm. Anyone could see his hesitation.
Bo Ruoyou raised his hand and stroked Huo Weilou’s face, “Master Hou is afraid that I’m really crazy, and I won’t be able to wake up anymore?”
Even if it was just a question, these words made Huo Weilou’s heart suffocated. The corners of his thin lips were not bent, and he held his face to make him look at herself. When her eyes met, she said softly: “If people are crazy and stupid, It must be because of extreme despair and my heart that I lost my heart and will. But I remember Lord Hou, and I can’t bear Lord Hou. I won’t make myself trapped by the demons.”
Rarely did she hear Huo Weilou’s heartbeats when she spoke so softly, she couldn’t help lowering her head, biting her lips, tightening his arms, first grinding, then breaking her lips and teeth, sucking, and stirring. , Bo Ruoyou’s straight back gradually weakened, panting, dizzy, and when she completely fell into his arms, Huo Weilou retreated.
He pressed her forehead, his voice was very hoarse, “Just try it once, if it fails, you will not be allowed to mention it later.”
Thin Ruoyou’s cheeks are as bright as spring peaches, and her wonderful eyes are rippling. Her blushing thin lips are slightly open, but she is unable to say nothing. She trembles and lays down on his shoulders, bending her arms to hug him. .
As long as he wanted to use this method, he asked for a Jingzhen. Ming Guilan entered the Hou Mansion three times a day. Seeing that Huo Weilou quickly changed his mind, there were some surprises. After pondering for a moment, Ming Guilan said: ” The ruined temple was demolished a long time ago, and it is impossible to go back. The terrain on the banks of the Keluo River has not changed. As I think, it is better to find an abandoned old house outside the city and arrange it according to my memory.”
It takes some time to find the setting of the house. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, and she nodded, “It’s so great, it’s just annoying Young Master Ming.”
Ming Guilan smiled warmly, “I am also the victim of this case. If Li Shen really has an accomplice behind him, I should do my best.”
After some agreement, there was a charter. Now Huo Weilou is going to investigate two cases. Ming Guilan will take care of the matter and bluntly arrange everything as soon as possible. Before that, Bo Ruoyou could not go to see his set, lest he didn’t. Effect.
When he returned to Cheng’s house in the evening, Bo Ruoyou accompany Cheng Yunzhi for dinner. After the meal, Cheng Yunzhi crouched on his back and coughed lightly.
Cheng Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, “I went to the yard in the afternoon and ate a few bites of cold wind. I am older and can’t stand the cold at all. It’s nothing serious.”
Bo Ruoyou didn’t want to tell him about this risky trip, so he was more determined when he saw it, and persuaded Cheng Yunzhi to take some cold Jiang Tang before sending him to rest.
On the second day, Bo Ruoyou went to the Hou Mansion again. Cheng Yunzhi saw that she was still in good spirits, so he did not stop him.
Several people entered the mansion gate together and stayed in the study, just as Lu Ke was also discussing with Huo Wei Building.
When everyone was seated, Sun Zhao said, “I didn’t dared to stop for a while. We did what Hou Ye ordered. First, Liu and Qing were taken out of prison to see Li Shen’s body. Although Li Shen had been dead for many days, some The corpse was transformed, and the eyebrows could be clearly seen, but yesterday Liu Qing and Chen Mo could not tell whether the person was Li Shen or not. The only thing they remembered was that the man was luxuriously dressed and had his own dignity—— “
This happened twelve years ago. Liu Qing must have blurred memories, and they subconsciously amplify certain impressions, which will naturally cause deviations. Huo Weilou was not surprised when he heard the words, and asked, “Where is Feiyun View? “
Wu Xiang said: “When I went to Feiyun Temple for the first time, my subordinates had already checked up and down. At that time, they hadn’t found anything unusual. When I went back yesterday, my subordinates checked more carefully and visited several surrounding villages. After inquiring around, some villagers remember that Feiyun saw a Taoist priest who was not doing righteousness. In addition, he gave very good evaluations to other Taoist priests and did not see other Taoist priests spreading and writing evil principles. Therefore, this Feiyun View should be considered an orthodox sect.”
If Feiyunguan itself is correct, then Li Shen himself went astray. Wu Xiang then took out a roster from his arms, “Hou Ye ordered to inquire about the pilgrims, and the subordinates also checked, Feiyunguan The incense is not prosperous. There are not many people who have worshipped incense in the temple for many years. They have been worshipped for more than two years. Most of them are famous families in the capital, and the worst is also the home of wealthy gentry merchants.”
Huo Weilou opened the roster, and soon, his brows frowned, and Lu Ke hurriedly asked: “Hou Ye found weirdness?”
“There is Wang Qingfu’s name in it.”
Luke was surprised, “Wang Qingfu? Why is he on the list of pilgrims?”
Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang naturally recognized Wang Qingfu’s name. Wu Xiang said at this time: “He was indeed on the list, and when he saw him, his subordinates felt weird. They also asked the senior leader in Guanzhong, who said Since Wang Qingfu entered Beijing as an official 16 or 7 years ago, he has gone to Feiyun to watch. Although it is not common, he is quite generous in his actions, and occasionally invites Daoist chiefs to speak on Taoist scriptures.”
“It’s very common for the pilgrims to give lectures, and the veteran Taoist priest never thought it strange. It was just that Wang Qingfu never went there after the beginning of this year. He felt weird at the time. Later, it was summer to hear of Wang Qingfu’s accident. I’m sorry.”
Huo Weilou said solemnly, “He was a second-class scholar in the 12th year of Jianhe. He joined the Ritual Department as a clerk at that time. Later, he served as the head of the Ritual Department for two years. Changsi was appointed as Shaoqing.”
He sneered, “I don’t believe in the Buddha, but steals the Buddha’s treasures and doesn’t believe in it, but he enshrines incense in the Taoist temple. If he says that he has nothing to do with this kind of behavior, then it is a ghost.”
Lu Ke continued: “Does Hou Ye think he may be related to the cult that Li Shen participated in?”
Huo Weilou continued to look down, and said while watching: “It is very likely that the purpose of stealing the Buddha’s treasure was unknown. If he also believed in some weird heresies, he would have an explanation.”
With that said, Huo Weilou has already read the roster of these few dozens of people, “There are indeed a lot of familiar faces here.”
He stopped his eyes on the last few names, “Uncle Zhongyi is indeed among them.”
More than a month ago, Feng Qin pointed out to them that Feiyunguan had a Taoist leader who had been driven out. Only then did he follow the vine to find Li Shen, and his name appeared as expected.
Huo Weilou put down the roster, “Go to interrogate Wang Qingfu’s family, and see why he went to Feiyunguan to worship, and wait for news from Cangzhou and Zhenxi Army. This is a coincidence.”
Lu Ke went, and Sun Zhao began to sweat on his forehead, “This…this is indeed too coincidental. Wang Qingfu’s case is not over yet, but it has something to do with Li Shen’s harm. If both cases are related to cults, Could this cult still have something to do with officials in the DPRK? Wang Qingfu entered Beijing as an official 17 years ago. At that time, he went to Feiyun Temple, which was too early.”
Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes were full of coldness, “If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be counted before he enters Beijing as an official.”
However, the news of Qiangzhou has not yet arrived, Huo Weilou has a little calculation in his heart, and did not tell Sun Zhao much. Li Shen’s case was originally the responsibility of Jingzhaoyi’s yamen, but Wang Qingfu’s case was directly investigated by the secretary. But now Wang Qingfu seems to be involved with Li Shen, but there is still a lack of evidence.
Sun Zhao pondered for a moment and said: “Before entering Beijing, we have to look up Wang Qingfu’s life, but I heard that he came from the Wang Clan of Qiangzhou. Jinshi is only double ten years old. If there is really a so-called cult, it is impossible for him to be the leader.”
“He was afraid of crimes at Famen Temple, mostly because he was afraid that he would not be able to interrogate and confess more. Benhou even believed that there were people behind him who had a higher status than him.”
Sun Zhao’s pupils shrunk slightly, “He later became Taichang Temple Qing, the official worship third grade, not many people can be above him.”
Thinking that this matter involved a certain member of the Central Government, or maybe even related to the royal family, the cold sweat on Sun Zhao’s forehead dripped down.
“Most people with high authority will not have no desires and desires. They either seek higher power and prosperity, or seek longevity, or even can’t do it above the court, but instead give birth to some thoughts of wanting to establish a sect. The white lotus religion in the northwest even taught the people to rebel, and there were also officials from North Korea and China colluding with it at that time. You should know the disaster.”
Huo Weilou’s tone was ordinary, but Sun Zhao was frightened. Of course he knew, and he knew how many officials in the central government had died. His heartstrings became tighter for a while, and then suddenly he thought: “Since this is the case, except for Wang Qingfu’s heart Apart from ghosts, should other pilgrims who often go to Feiyun Temple also check it carefully? Will anyone use the Taoist Temple or the gatherings in the land of Buddhism to form parties in private for personal gain and form evil sects?”
Huo Weilou’s gaze immediately fell back to the roster, and soon he said, “Most of them are from the capital family. It seems that you have to find someone who is familiar with each family to help.”
