In the prison of the Supervision Department, Liu Yijin saw Wang Peng who was arrested.
Liu Yijin sat opposite Wang Peng and pushed a cup of tea over with a smile: "Master Wang, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way."
Wang Peng looked indifferent and kept silent.
Liu Yijin picked up the tea cup with a chuckle: "Regardless of our respective positions, you and I can be considered colleagues. I still hope that we will not come to opposite sides."
Wang Peng picked up the tea cup and drank tea calmly.
"Master Wang lived in poverty for ten years. Although he is now just a clerk in the Ministry of Punishment, he has no worries about food and clothing. I heard that when you came to the capital, you had no fixed place to live. It was His Majesty Hong En who found a place for you to live and personally let you live. The Ministry of Punishment added some extra silver."
"A scholar should repay his kindness, instead of stabbing his Majesty in return for taking the salary from the imperial court."
Wang Peng sneered: "Mr. Liu, I am just a small clerk. I have never interacted with people very much. Now I am staying at home, but I never expected to be invited here to drink tea. I am still confused. "
"People don't tell secret stories. Our Supervision Department also pays attention to evidence when handling cases. If there is no evidence, I will not invite you here."
Wang Peng glanced at Liu Yijin and simply closed his eyes: "I don't know what you mean."
Yuan Shuo, who was standing behind Liu Yijin, snorted coldly: "Wang Peng, if there is no evidence, we will not invite you here. If you know the truth, just tell the truth. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Wang Peng glanced sideways at Yuan Shuo and smiled coldly: "If there was really evidence, you wouldn't stand here and talk nonsense to me."
"Master Liu, I know you are looking into things about Maitreya Buddhism, but I am not the person you are looking for. So, don't waste your energy on me."
Liu Yijin smiled: "Master Wang, let's not talk about other things today. How about we talk about your family?"
Wang Peng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Liu Yijin with cold eyes: "Master Liu, if you dare to touch my family, I will fight you to the death."
Liu Yijin sighed: "Master Wang, do you know why I didn't meet your brother first and came to see you instead?"
"Why?"
Liu Yijin threw a file in front of Wang Peng: "I wonder if you are familiar with Zhao Qian?"
Liu Yijin clearly felt the change in the expression on Wang Peng's face, and sighed slightly: "You should read the file first."
Wang Peng opened the file in confusion and read page after page. Suddenly he was shocked and his face turned pale: "Impossible, this is impossible!"
Wang Peng roared and stood up and rushed towards Liu Yijin: "It's you, right? You killed my nephew! You devil, I'm going to kill you!"
Yuan Shuo and Er Zhuzi on the side stepped forward and held Wang Peng tightly. The latter struggled angrily and stared at Liu Yijin with scarlet eyes: "Liu Yijin, you devil, you will not die!"
Er Zhuzhu slapped Wang Peng on the face: "Are you a fool? Can't you understand the text? It was Zhao Qian who set fire to your nephew, but you still blame me?"
"No wonder people say that Maitreya Buddhism is an evil thing that does not distinguish between right and wrong. Now it seems that it is indeed true. You people are so unscrupulous that you can even attack such a young child!"
Wang Peng stared at Liu Yijin: "Where is my eldest brother and where is my sister-in-law? I want to see them!"
Liu Yijin sighed: "Since you still have some illusions about Maitreya Buddhism in your heart, I will let you give up this idea completely!"
"Come on, bring people in!"
A dull-looking woman was brought in.
"Wang Peng, your elder brother already knows about this matter. The pain of losing a child in middle age is beyond your understanding, so..."
Wang Peng looked at the woman walking over and said in a trembling tone: "Sister-in-law, Xiaotong?"
The woman stared at Wang Peng stupidly for a while, then suddenly yelled and rushed towards Wang Peng as if she was crazy: "Xiaotong is dead. He was killed by Zhao Qian. Xiaotong is dead, it was you who caused her death!"
Wang Peng trembled and was stunned on the spot. The woman suddenly roared and pounced on Wang Peng, biting Wang Peng's shoulder.
"Wang Peng, you killed Xiaotong, you killed our family!"
At this time, Wang Peng stood there stupidly like a zombie, letting his sister-in-law beat and make trouble with him.
"Someone, pull her down!"
Several wolf guards stepped forward and carried the woman out. Suddenly, shrill cries and the woman's angry roar rang out in the corridor.
Liu Yijin looked at Wang Peng who was paralyzed on the ground, and sighed: "You should believe what my sister-in-law says."
"Wang Peng, for your own fantasy, you not only dragged your brother into the water, but also killed your nephew."
"Zhao Qian is indeed a man, but no matter how iron-willed he is, it is useless in front of this officer."
"I'll give you one day to think about it. Tell me when you think about it."
When Liu Yijin walked to the door, Wang Peng behind him suddenly shouted, "Master Liu, let me kill Zhao Qian with my own hands, and I will tell you everything."
Liu Yijin turned around and shook his head indifferently: "Zhao Qian is an important witness for me. I can still use him if I keep him, but as for whether you can kill him with your own hands, that depends on the price you offer me." ”
Wang Peng smiled sadly: "Can you spare my brother and my sister-in-law's lives?"
"Okay." Liu Yijin nodded: "Although your brother is also a member of Maitreya Buddhism, he has been lurking in the imperial capital under your orders and has not done anything harmful to nature."
"But since he is a member of Maitreya Buddhism, I will not give him freedom so easily, but I can guarantee you that they will leave the imperial capital safely."
Wang Peng knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed to Liu Yijin several times: "Master Liu, my direct line is Zhang Bing, and the gunpowder formula needed for the explosion in the Ministry of Justice was also provided by Zhang Bing."
This news surprised Liu Yijin: "Zhang Bing was detained by me early. How could he direct you on the explosion of the Ministry of Justice?"
"He provided the gunpowder formula, but the bombing of the Ministry of Justice was directed by Chun Xia of Yuelai Teahouse. Zhao Qian and I have stayed here to cooperate with Chun Xia's actions."
"Including developing offline, contacting the surrounding Maitreya Buddhist strongholds, and even bringing those people into the imperial capital in batches."
"I entered the Imperial Capital three years ago. In the past three years, Zhao Qian and I have brought about a thousand Maitreya Buddhists into the Imperial Capital."
"These people are distributed in every industry in the imperial capital, in order to play a role at critical moments."
Liu Yijin felt his hands and feet were cold.
"Some of these more than a thousand Maitreya Buddhists have entered government offices, some like me work in other departments, and some have joined the city defense army and the garrison outside the city."
"Then do you know who else is above Chunxia and Zhang Bing!"
Wang Peng suddenly fell silent.
Liu Yijin's face was cold: "Wang Peng, do you still have illusions about them now?"
Wang Peng smiled sadly: "I know that the dead Xikun is one of ours. As for the other people, perhaps only Zhang Bing knows."
"Master Wang, I hope you can tell me the details of these more than a thousand people. As long as you can help me catch them all, I will plead for you in front of His Majesty!"
