Liu Yijin listened to Wang Peng's narration, and the two clerks around him wrote down everything.
When Wang Peng finished the last sentence, he sighed slightly: "Master Liu, this is the hiding place and their identity information of all the people I know."
"But I don't know if these people are still there. After all, the imperial court's arrest of Maitreya Buddhists will not go unnoticed."
Liu Yijin turned around and distributed the materials to Erzhuzi and Yuan Shuo: "Take my belt and mobilize all the power of the Guard Corps and the Supervision Department to arrest people!"
"Remember, anyone who dares to obstruct the Supervision Department from handling cases will be arrested immediately!"
"yes!"
After Yuan Shuo and Er Zhuzhu left, Liu Yijin glanced at Wang Peng with complex eyes: "Master Wang, I will only intercede with His Majesty in your matter."
"Can I see my brother?"
Liu Yijin slowed down his steps and sighed: "Wang Peng, wasn't your eldest brother hurt enough by you?"
Wang Peng looked miserable.
"I can't bear to see you Wang family lose the heir. If there is a chance, I will naturally plead with you. As for your eldest brother, it's better not to meet him."
Liu Yijin walked out of the cell, his fingers still trembling.
Wang Peng's ignorance made him feel scared. What was even more frightening was the way Maitreya Buddhism controlled people's hearts and the few people hidden behind this sect who had not yet been arrested.
Although there are many clues that Zhang Bing is one of the three elders of Maitreya Buddhism, Liu Yijin always felt that something was wrong based on his intuition.
If Zhang Bing is an elder, what is Xikun's position? Is he just an insignificant middleman?
The dignified Minister of Justice is just a middleman, which is completely contrary to common sense.
"Was it wrong from the beginning?"
Liu Yijin was thinking about all the relationships between the characters in his heart.
Chunxia and Xiaoyue are people of Maitreya Buddhism, and both of them are directly or indirectly related to the Prime Minister's Office.
Zhang Bing and Xikun are both heads of the department, and Zhang Bing is even the head of the Supervision Department personally appointed by the empress. He must have been selected through strict selection, but such a person is also a member of Maitreya Buddhism!
Wang Peng and Han Feng are the people responsible for transporting talents to Maitreya Buddhism, inquiring about information, and placing spies.
The entire chain was constantly intertwined in Liu Yijin's mind, and coupled with Liu Chang, the former guarding eunuch, it seemed that all signs pointed to the prime minister.
But when His Majesty knew clearly that Maitreya Buddhism was involved in the case of the missing border official's silver, why did he send King Su to prison?
Liu Yijin was still puzzled.
Mengyao and Lan Yuer, dressed as wolf guards, walked in from outside: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Yijin put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just lament the ignorance and solidification of these Maitreya Buddhism people's thoughts."
Mengyao sighed: "Chun Xia and Han Feng's interrogations were about the same. Even with the addition of Sister Lan's silver needles and pills, nothing important was asked."
Liu Yijin nodded: "These two people can give up. Next, our main target is Zhang Bing."
Lan Yuer looked confused: "Isn't Zhang Bing's matter already clear?"
Liu Yijin shook his head: "I always feel that the identity of the elder should be someone else, and Zhang Bing is just a stand-in."
"But if that's the case, there's absolutely no reason for him to persist for so long."
Mengyao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Actually, sometimes torture is not a good idea, but I have an idea to try."
Looking at Liu Yijin's confused eyes, Mengyao said: "Zhang Bing was arrested. Although we thoroughly investigated his mansion and investigated all the wolf guards he arranged, we did not take advantage of their families."
"If your Excellency agrees, I would like to bring Zhang Bing's wife and children here."
Liu Yijin shook his head decisively: "No! If we do that, what is the difference between us and Maitreya Buddhism?"
Mengyao was about to speak, but was pulled back by Lan Yuer: "We have interrogated Zhang Bing several times. This man has deep internal strength. Ordinary acupuncture and medicine have little effect on him. Instead of doing this, it is better to treat him psychologically." Defeat him!"
Liu Yijin nodded: "This is also the method I want to use for him. Once a person's mind collapses, his spirit will collapse."
Lan Yuer said: "I'll go take a look first."
After Lan Yu'er left, Mengyao said: "Sir, you have been busy for two days, go home and have a rest."
"It just so happens that the eldest lady has been very happy these past two days, and she wants you to go back and accompany her."
As soon as he heard that his pregnant wife wanted to accompany him, Liu Yijin immediately stood up and walked out: "Let's go home now."
The carriage hurriedly passed by the lively market. Mengyao looked out through the window: "It's almost autumn, but the weather is still so hot."
"Yes, that's how Qiuhuhu is. Sometimes it's still a little cool in the early morning, but in the blink of an eye it becomes hot."
Mengyao chuckled: "My lord, this sentence seems inappropriate."
Liu Yijin laughed loudly: "Don't you know I'm a rough guy?"
Mengyao's face suddenly turned red, and she stared at Liu Yijin with a charming look: "I don't know, maybe only the three ladies know."
Liu Yijin blushed in embarrassment.
Mengyao looked at Liu Yijin with burning eyes: "My lord, you have to work hard during this period. I often hear the Second Madam and the Third Madam talking about you."
"What did you say about me?"
Mengyao leaned forward slightly, and the restraints in front of her shook naturally: "Of course it means that you have learned to exercise restraint recently. I don't know if you are tired of it, or you have a new love outside."
"Nonsense, the ladies don't know what I've been busy with all day long. Can you and Miss Lan know?"
Mengyao's expression was strange: "We can know during the day, but we don't know at night."
Liu Yijin's fingers trembled. This Mengyao really couldn't be alone with her. Every word she said was on the verge of seduction.
The neighing horses in front made the car suddenly stop, and the bumpy carriage made Mengyao scream in surprise, and her staggering figure rushed forward.
"careful!".
Liu Yijin grabbed Mengyao's arm and subconsciously touched the other person's waist with his other hand: "Are you okay?"
Mengyao's face turned red: "It's okay, thank you sir."
Seemingly aware of the ambiguity of this gesture, Liu Yijin was so embarrassed that he was about to let go.
And Mengyao's mind also turned like lightning, her eyes rolled, and her steps that had just stabilized suddenly jumped forward as the carriage rocked again, and she fell into Liu Yijin's arms.
What was even more embarrassing was that Liu Yijin just raised his head, and their lips directly kissed each other.
At this moment, Liu Yijin felt as if a fire suddenly exploded in his mind. The gentle, warm and fragrant touch made him feel a surge in his heart, and he hugged Mengyao subconsciously.
A coy sound came, and Mengyao didn't seem to notice that Liu Yijin's hand had climbed up to her waist, and she fell into Liu Yijin's arms. Not to mention, the handsome little hand reached in like lightning. Liu Yijin's thin shirt.
Such strong muscles.
Liu Yijin was shocked, and the nimble little hands in his arms moved downwards like a snake.
"Meng Yao!" Liu Yijin hurriedly pressed his palms: "No, no."
"Sir, I like you." Mengyao raised her twinkling eyes, her eyes naked and provocative: "I don't want a status or any guarantee, as long as you don't chase me away."
Liu Yijin had a bitter smile on his face: "Mengyao, even if you don't do this, I won't push you away. You are now a member of the Wolf Guard and my capable subordinate. How could I push you away."
"grown ups."
Mengyao plucked up the courage and kissed Liu Yijin directly on the lips. Her dexterous tongue slightly pried open the hard teeth, and her mischievous little hand suddenly struggled and even directly grasped it.
Liu Yijin took a breath: "Mengyao, we will... ugh..."
The carriage jolted slightly. Liu Yijin looked at Mengyao who had pushed him to the ground and stepped up. His expression changed greatly: "No, you listen to me first."
Mengyao gently touched her shoulders with her fingers. Under the black clothes was a delicate pink bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks: "Does it look good, sir?"
Liu Yijin looked at it subconsciously, and saw that the two mandarin ducks nestled together were really vivid, and they actually caused a faint ripple with the shaking of the carriage.
"It looks good, it does look good."
Mengyao smiled shyly: "Not only are they beautiful, but they can also move."
When the driving dog heard the carriage tremble suddenly, he thought it had hit another pothole and hurriedly slowed down the carriage.
The smooth carriage gave Liu Yijin and Mengyao enough time.
"Gouzi, sir, I suddenly want to see the scenery of the imperial capital. You can drive the carriage around the city a few more times, ah!"
Gouzi was stunned and nodded: "Okay."
An urgent voice came from the carriage: "Hurry up."
Gouzi was stunned and immediately raised his whip: "Drive!"
The carriage stopped slowly at the gate of Liu Mansion. Gouzi jumped out of the carriage, and the maids Xiaorui and Dujuan hurriedly walked up: "My lord is back."
The curtain was opened, and the first person to step out of the carriage was Mengyao with a reddish face, radiant and with a faint smile on her face.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yijin coughed slightly and stepped out of the carriage. He couldn't stand still and staggered a little.
"Master, are you okay?"
Liu Yijin said awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay. How is Madam?"
"The eldest lady has been feeling very happy these past two days. She just wants to eat something sour. I have sent someone to buy some on the street."
"good."
Liu Yijin glanced at Mengyao and said with a misty look: "Mengyao, you are tired too, go and have a rest first."
Mengyao smiled faintly: "Thank you, sir. It's still very hot today, and I'm sweating now. I'll go do my business first, and I'll report back to you later."
"Yes." Liu Yijin nodded with pretense and walked towards the house.
Xiao Rui behind him wrinkled his nose suspiciously: "Dujuan, do you smell anything?"
Dujuan has been suffering from a cold for the past two days, and she speaks with a nasal voice: "No, what can this hot day smell like?"
"Oh, you damn girl, I'm talking about the carriage."
Du Juan approached the carriage and sniffed desperately, with a look of helplessness on her face: "I have a cold, what do you want me to smell?"
"The smell of fox."
Mengyao walked into her room and couldn't help laughing anymore. A proud smile appeared on her charming face: "My good lord, you have finally become mine."
A coquettish laugh sounded outside the door: "I knew what bad things you had done with your naughty hooves."
The door was opened, and Lan Yuer walked in with a smile: "Tell me, how did it happen?"
Mengyao's face turned red: "Sister Lan, I don't understand what you mean."
Lan Yuer raised her little fist with a groan: "You and your Excellency left the Supervision Department earlier than I did, but you got home an hour later than me. Tsk, tsk, the carriage strolled along the Imperial Street, and you and your Excellency also strolled. It’s been a few laps.”
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Mengyao stopped hiding it and admitted openly: "I did walk around for several times. You can only know the taste by going through it yourself."
Lan Yuer snorted: "Don't tempt me, I won't hand myself over so easily like you. Besides, Liu Yijin has many wives."
Mengyao lay on the bed with her hands behind her head: "What does it matter? I don't plan to marry him."
"What?"
Mengyao looked at Lan Yuer's surprised expression and said quietly: "I have a bad background."
Lan Yuer was silent for a moment: "Everyone's origin is involuntarily. Some people are born rich, some people are born poor, and some people have gone through the ups and downs of the world without being discouraged or giving in. Although they are tired, they still yearn for it. Life."
"Besides, do you think Liu Yijin is the kind of person who values status? If he was such a person, he wouldn't keep you by his side."
Mengyao's heart trembled, but she couldn't help but relax when she thought of her own origin.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Lan Yu'er looked at Mengyao's expression and sighed in her heart: "Are you just going to go on like this?"
"As long as he knows I'm there, that's enough."
Seeing the calmness and smile on Mengyao's face, Lan Yu'er couldn't help but think of her own affairs.
Although he was the medical sage of the Uighurs, the Uighur dynasty showed no mercy to him.
"Yu'er, do you want to go back to Uighur?"
Lan Yuer hesitated for a moment: "I want to go back, but it will probably be difficult."
Mengyao smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? I think you can just accept Liu Yijin, and then you can act coquettishly with your peerless appearance."
