Li Shen was indeed lying. This perception made Bo Ruoyou feel that Bo Lanzhou's case was not that simple. "Marty, Li Shen's confession was false, either to cover up this cult, or the case of several children had internal information, or both of them were his purpose."

Huo Weilou handed her the long letter in his hand. When Bo Ruoyou read the letter, he continued: "Li Shen murdered six children in the past ten years. The Taoist priest of Feiyunguan also said that he had only started to rely on cheating the letters to make money after returning from secular life. It seemed that he had caused his illness, but his illness was just a coincidence."

God seems to be retribution in the dark. Li Shen, who relies on evil principles to deceive people in Yizhou, probably never thought that he would really get such a terminal illness.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and ordered the attendants outside, "Go to Jingzhao Yamen and ask Sun Zhao to come to the Hou's Mansion."

The attendant took the order and left, and he said again: "Before Li Shen returned to secular life, he must have gone astray in Feiyun Temple. Either Feiyun Temple itself is not upright, or there were other cultists around him back then."

Li Shen grew up in Feiyun Temple and received the guidance of his master and his senior brothers since he was a child. If his master and his senior brothers were also cultists, then many of his actions would make sense later. But if all the Taoists around him were the right path, then he would be very strange to believe in the cult later.

Sun Zhao came very quickly. Because he didn't know what Xuanzhao of the Hou Mansion had to do, he brought Wu Xiang with him. As soon as he entered the study, Huo Weilou showed the news he got from Yizhou to Sun Zhao and the others. After they finished reading, their expressions changed drastically.

Sun Zhao said nervously: "This Li Shen is actually lying—"

Li Shen's case file has been sent to the Ministry of Justice, and the case will be decided soon. If the case changes, it will be a bad situation for their government office. Huo Weilou brought his expression into his eyes and said, "Look closer, when Li Shen was in Yizhou, he not only promoted the art of death that almost harmed people, but also instigated people to commit crimes and sacrificed living people to seek protection from the true gods. Don't you think it looks familiar?"

Sun Zhao was in charge of the administration of officials inside and outside the capital, and his mind was not only on the murder case, but Wu Xiang reacted faster than him, "Isn't this the reason why Jiang Xing and the others were plotting to murder Master Zhao?"

He looked at Sun Zhao, "Do you remember the testimony of Chen Mo and Liu Qing? They said that when they were young, they originally planned to go south, but they met a benefactor at the Jingji Wharf. The benefactor taught the Bodhisattva Sutra to them, which led them to return to the capital and harmed the headmaster Zhao's family. The benefactor's words were the same as what Li Shen said."

Sun Zhao suddenly realized and thought deeply, and couldn't help but be frightened, "The person Liu Qing and the others met back then were not Li Shen, right?"

Wu Xiang frowned, "I still remember their confession. He said that the Eng-gong was dressed in luxury at that time. He looked like a wealthy family and had a fairy-like appearance. He shocked them in a few words, so he believed in the Bodhisattva Sutra. It was twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, Li Shen was already ill and returned to Feiyun Temple. He was criticized for his unscrupulous behavior. His subordinates felt that the person Liu Qing and the others met should not be Li Shen."

Huo Weilou looked at Sun Zhao, "Where is Liu Qing and Chen Mo?"

Sun Zhao hurriedly said: "He has been transferred to the Ministry of Justice prison. Because he committed five lives that year, he was still a violation of human ethics, such as killing his master and his wife, he has been sentenced to death. He only waited for the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to review it and be executed after the year."

"Li Shen's body is in the charity village?" Huo Weilou asked again.

When Sun Zhao nodded, Huo Weilou ordered: "Send someone to propose the two to recognize Li Shen's body just in case."

Sun Zhao received the order, and Huo Weilou said again: "Send someone to Feiyun Temple to check it out carefully. There are people in Feiyun Temple who do not correct the Tao. Li Shen was not sick at that time, so it was impossible for him to believe in the art of dying for no reason. Someone must have preached him. Let's check what many pilgrims worshipped in Feiyun Temple fourteen years ago to the present. If Li Shen was not guided by his masters, it would be very likely that the pilgrims who went to the Taoist temple had the most problems. Combined with Liu Qing and others' confessions, those who were mostly either rich or noble."

Li Shen returned to secular life in the 14th year of Jianhe. At this time, he was no longer an orthodox Taoist. That is to say, before Jianhe, he was influenced by the cult before Jianhe, and the Jingji Ferry was only half a day away from the capital. No matter how you calculate it, this cult must have penetrated inside and outside the capital, and there were already people who were either rich or noble.

Sun Zhao did not dare to think deeply. As the prefect of Jingzhaoyi, he did not dare to be careless and hurriedly took Wu Xiang to do the job.

Huo Weilou pondered for a while, then went to see Bo Ruoyou and found that she was also thinking. When the two of them met, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but walk to him, "Marty, now it's time for me to try that method."

Huo Weilou frowned and did not respond for a moment. Lu Ke next to him saw that the two of them were in a stalemate, so he felt nervous and quickly put on oil to his feet and slipped away first. When he left, Bo Ruoyou said, "Marty, now we must find out whether Li Shen harmed people is his personal behavior, and I may be the best witness, so let's try it."

The development of things was unexpected, and Bo Ruoyou was also determined. She looked at Huo Weilou with a gaze as tough as him, and her mind was shocked by her. He raised his hand and "Come here--"

Bo Ruoyou walked to the desk and Huo Weilou pulled her and made her sit on her knees. He didn't say anything, but just rubbed Bo Ruoyou's palm. No matter who could see his hesitation was visible.

Bo Ruoyou raised his hand and stroked Huo Weilou's face, "Is the Marquis afraid that I will be crazy and can't wake up anymore?"

Even if it was just a question, this sentence made Huo Weilou's heart suffocate. Bo Ruoyou's lips were not bent. He held his face and made him look at him. When his eyes met, she said softly: "If a person is crazy and stupid, he must be because of extreme despair. His heart is ashamed. He lost his will and will. But I care about the Marquis and I can't bear to myself. I will not let myself be trapped by the demons in my heart."

When she rarely spoke so softly, Huo Weilou was so excited that he couldn't help but lower his head and bit her lips. His arms tightened, first grinding, then breaking her lips and teeth, sucking and stirring. Bo Ruoyou's straight back gradually collapsed, gasping, and dizzying. When someone completely fell into his arms, Huo Weilou retreated.

He pressed against her forehead, his voice hoarse, "I will only try once, if I can't succeed, I won't let you mention it again in the future."

Thin Ruoyou's cheeks are as bright as spring peaches, her beautiful eyes are shimmering and flowing. Her bright red lips are slightly opened, but she is unable to speak out. She only has a delicate body tremblingly leaning towards his shoulders, lifting her arms, and hugging him.

Since I wanted to use this method, I asked Jing Zhen. Ming Guilan entered the Marquis' Mansion three times in one day. Seeing Huo Weilou changed his mind so quickly, he was a little surprised. After pondering for a while, Ming Guilan said: "The dilapidated temple was long ago and I can't go back. But the terrain on the banks of the Luo River has not changed. According to my thoughts, it would be better to go outside the city to find an abandoned old house and arrange it according to my memory."

It took some effort to find the setting of the house. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, and she nodded, "It's so great, I'm just troubled Mr. Ming."

Ming Guilan smiled softly, "I am also the victim of this case. If Li Shen really had an accomplice behind the scenes, I should do my best."

After an agreement, there was a constitution. Huo Weilou now wanted to investigate two cases. Ming Guilan took over the matter and said that he would arrange everything as soon as possible. Before that, Bo Ruoyou could not go to see his set, so as not to lose its effectiveness.

When he returned to Cheng's house in the evening, Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to have dinner. After the meal, Cheng Yunzhi hunched his back and coughed lightly. Bo Ruoyou poured tea for him and said, "It's been cold recently. Has his adoptive father been suffering from typhoid fever?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, "I went to the yard in the afternoon and ate a few bites of the cold wind. I am old and can't bear the cold air at all, so it's nothing serious."

Bo Ruoyouben didn't want to tell him about this dangerous trip. Seeing this, he calmed down and persuaded Cheng Yunzhi to take some ginger soup to drive away the cold before sending him to rest.

The next day, Bo Ruoyou went to the Marquis' Mansion again. Cheng Yunzhi saw that she was in good spirits, so he did not stop him. When Bo Ruoyou arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, he happened to meet Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang to the Marquis' Mansion to report his life.

Several people entered the mansion together and arrived at the study room. Lu Ke was also discussing matters with Huo Weilou.

Everyone sat down, Sun Zhao said, "I didn't dare to stop for a while yesterday. We did what the marquis told us. First, he asked Liu Qing and the others to see Li Shen's body. Although Li Shen had been dead for many days, some of the corpses were transformed, but he could still see his eyebrows and eyes clearly. However, yesterday Liu Qing and Chen Mo could not tell whether the person was Li Shen. The only thing they remember was that man was luxuriously dressed and had his own dignity-"

This happened twelve years ago. Liu Qing and the others must have had a blurred memory. If they subconsciously amplified certain impressions, they would naturally cause deviations. Huo Weilou was not surprised to hear this and asked again, "Where is Feiyun Temple?"

Wu Xiang said: "When I first went to Feiyun Temple, my subordinates had already checked it up and down. I didn't find anything unusual at that time. When I went back yesterday, my subordinates checked it more carefully. I also visited and searched several villages around me. After asking, some villagers still remembered that Feiyun Temple had a Taoist priest who was not doing the right path. In addition, they had a very good evaluation of other Taoist priests, and they had not seen other Taoist priests spreading the wrong principles. Therefore, Feiyun Temple should be an orthodox Taoist sect."

If Feiyun Temple is not wrong, it would be that Li Shen himself went astray. Wu Xiang then took out a list from his arms, "The Marquis ordered to investigate the pilgrims, and his subordinates also checked it. Feiyun Temple's incense is not very popular. There are not many people who worship in the temple for many years. They have been worshipped here for more than two years. Most of them are famous families in the capital, and the worst is the family of wealthy gentry and merchants."

Huo Weilou opened the roster, and soon, he frowned. Lu Ke hurriedly asked, "Hao Master discovered the weirdness?"

"There is Wang Qingfu's name here."

Lu Ke was surprised, "Wang Qingfu? Why is he on the list of pilgrims if he doesn't believe in Buddhism or the Word?"

Wang Qingfu's name was naturally recognized by Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang said at this time: "He is indeed on the list. When he saw him, his subordinates also found it strange. He also asked the old Taoist priest in the temple. The old Taoist priest said that since Wang Qingfu entered Beijing as an official 16 or 7 years ago, he went to Feiyun Temple. Although it was not common, he was quite generous in his actions and occasionally asked the Taoist priest to preach the Taoist priest's meaning."

"It is very common for the pilgrims to let the preachings, and the old Taoist priest never found it strange. However, Wang Qingfu had never been there again after the beginning of this year. He still felt strange at that time. Later, it was Xia Tian that something happened to Wang Qingfu, and he was quite sad at that time."

Huo Weilou said in a deep voice, "He was a second-class Jinshi in the twelfth year of Jianhe. He joined the Ministry of Rites as a civil servant. Later, he served as the head of the Ministry of Rites for two years. Because he was familiar with the rituals and musical calendars of the Great Zhou royal family, he went to Taichang Temple to serve as Shaoqing."

He sneered coldly, "I don't believe in Buddhism, but I steal Buddha treasures, but I don't believe in Taoism, but I offer incense in Taoism. If I say that he has no intention of doing this, there is a ghost."

Lu Ke continued: "Does the Marquis think that he may be related to the cult in which Li Shen is involved?"

Huo Weilou continued to look down and said while looking: "It is very likely that he had unknown purpose when he stole the Buddha treasure. If he believed in some strange and evil sayings, he would have an explanation."

As he spoke, Huo Weilou had already read the list of dozens of people, "There are indeed many familiar faces here."

His eyes stopped at the last few names, "Zhongyi Bo is indeed among them."

More than a month ago, Feng Qin pointed out to them that a Taoist priest who was kicked out of Feiyun Temple, and then he followed the clues and found Li Shen. His name appeared as expected.

Huo Weilou put down the list and said, "Go to interrogate Wang Qingfu's family and see what he was going to Feiyun Temple to worship. Wait for news about Cangzhou and Zhenxi Army. This is a coincidence."

Lu Ke left, and Sun Zhao began to sweat on his forehead, "This... this is indeed a coincidence. Wang Qingfu's case has not been finished, but it has been linked to Li Shen's harm. If these two cases are related to cults, then is this cult still related to officials in the court? It was seventeen years ago that Wang Qingfu entered Beijing to become an official. At that time, he went to Feiyun Temple, which was too early."

Huo Weilou's eyes were full of coldness, "If so, I'm afraid I'll count it before he entered Beijing as an official."

However, the news about Qiangzhou had not arrived yet, and Huo Weilou had a little plan in his heart and did not give Sun Zhao much instructions. Li Shen's case was originally within the responsibilities of Jingzhao Yiyamen, but Wang Qingfu's case was directly investigated by the department at the beginning. 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 the capital, we must check Wang Qingfu's life carefully. However, I heard that he came from the Wang family of Qiangzhou, which is a very famous clan in Qiangzhou. It is just now declining. He was only in the double 10 years old when he passed the Jinshi. If there were really so-called cults, it would be impossible for him to be the leader."

"He committed suicide in Famen Temple for fear of crime, and most of the time he was afraid that he would not interrogate and reveal more. This Hou believed that there were people behind him who had higher status than him."

Sun Zhao's pupils shrank slightly, "He later became a minister of Taichang Temple and was appointed as the third rank. There were not many people who could be above him."

Thinking that this matter involved a senior official in the court, and it might even be related to the royal family, Sun Zhao's cold sweat fell down, "Will people who have this high position still believe in those evil ways?"

"People with high positions and power will not be without desires, either seeking higher power and wealth, or seeking immortality, or even failing to perform in the court. Instead, they will have the intention of starting a sect and establishing a sect. The White Lotus Sect in the northwest even taught the people to rebel, and at that time there were officials in the court colluding with them. You should know the disaster."

Huo Weilou spoke in an ordinary tone, but Sun Zhao was frightened. Of course, he knew, and even more, how many officials in the court died in the chaos. His heart tensed even more, and suddenly he had an idea: "Since that is the case, except for Wang Qingfu, there should be other pilgrims who often go to Feiyun Temple to investigate carefully? Will anyone use the gatherings of Taoist temples or Buddhist places to form cliques in private and form evil sects?"
