The carriage shook slightly.
Liu Yijin looked at Mengyao who was walking up and breathed out softly: "How do you like it?"
Mengyao nodded and shook her head.
"what do you mean?"
Mengyao said: "Sir, don't you think what happened tonight is strange?"
"What's weird about this? People from Maitreya Buddhism followed secretly, waiting for an opportunity to attack Long Yu. And I saw those people being killed by officers and soldiers with my own eyes. If it weren't for people from Maitreya Buddhism, they wouldn't risk their lives to attack. .”
Mengyao nodded: "At the beginning, I thought so too, but it was just about Long Yu's skills."
Seeing Liu Yijin's confused expression, Mengyao told what she saw and heard in the secret.
"Qingluan and I are not too close, because Long Yu is very alert."
"However, we have observed that his methods were vicious before, and his internal strength is no less than that of the dead Lu Mei. It is really hard to imagine that a group trainer can possess such powerful internal strength."
Liu Yijin hummed: "I know what you mean, but Long Yu has already been investigated by the eldest princess and others, and His Majesty also specially investigated his life experience, so there should be nothing wrong."
"As for the sudden change in his methods, I also saw it when I was on the second floor. Maybe it's just that he doesn't want us to see everything about you. Everyone has secrets."
Mengyao nodded: "Your analysis is correct, but since he could kill that Cui Ying'er with one blow, why did he suddenly become soft-hearted when the Lord appeared and wanted to get rid of that woman with the help of your hands?"
Liu Yijin's mind was spinning. Just now it was because of Maitreya Buddhism that he didn't think too much about it. Now after analyzing it with Mengyao, he realized that there was indeed a loophole in the matter.
"You mean Long Yu wants to use my hand to get rid of the people in the Cui family's old village?"
"Yes, if my guess is correct, Long Yu and others will definitely use your order to encircle and suppress the people of Maitreya Buddhism. In this way, you will become a thorn in the side of Maitreya Buddhism, and they will be dealt with quickly."
Jian Mei frowned slightly, and Liu Yijin tapped his fingers lightly on his leg: "What else have you observed?"
"Then Cui Hu and others actually don't have to die at all. After all, catching a living person is more valuable than a dead one. This simple truth is something Long Yu and others don't know."
"But he didn't stop the soldiers' actions. I even think Cui Hu's death was part of Long Yu's plan."
"You mean Long Yu is secretly controlling all this?"
"It's not manipulation. Maybe he just used this momentum to make everything happen look flawless."
Liu Yijin was silent. In his heart, he was suspicious of Long Yu.
It can be seen from Zhang Mang's dialogue that this Long Yu is just a big boss who doesn't care at all when his brain is hot. At the wine table, he is like a wise old man observing everything around him, and can even launch the most important things at the most appropriate time. people.
When he was encircling Cui Ying'er and others, he didn't say much about the life and death of Cui Hu and others. On the contrary, he took the life and death of such an important person very lightly.
If all this is not a coincidence, it can only prove that this Long Yu has his own ideas.
"Whether it's taking advantage of the situation or following the trend, as long as Maitreya Buddhism can be completely eradicated, Long Yu's contribution is indispensable. I will speak for him in front of His Majesty."
Just as he was talking, Qingluan landed next to the carriage, and then boarded the carriage like smoke: "I'm back."
After Qingluan finished speaking, he grabbed the tea on the table and drank it.
"How's your tracking?"
Qingluan shook his head: "This Long Yu gives me a very familiar feeling, but I just can't remember where I saw him."
"This man has superb martial arts skills and is so young. I have indeed met such a man before, but in terms of his eyes and appearance, he is far from the young man back then."
"Who is that person? Does he have any special direction?
Qingluan said: "It has been a long time, and I really have no memory at all. However, if I can fight with him, I can feel the opponent clearly."
Liu Yijin glanced at Qingluan strangely: "If you are fine, stop thinking about fighting and killing. Besides, if Long Yu notices it, it will be embarrassing.
Everyone returned to Qingshui County, where Yuan Peng, Yuan Shuo and others were waiting anxiously.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Yuan Shuo hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir, we have discovered something."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back.
In the yamen, Liu Yijin couldn't help but think deeply while listening to Yuan Shuo's report: "Are you sure?"
"The news we have heard is indeed like this. As long as you give the order, we will arrest people now.
Liu Yijin frowned: "Li Chun Yuan, isn't this a brothel? How could it be the stronghold of Maitreya Buddhism? Where did you get this news?
Yuan Shuo turned around, and two wolf guards came over escorting an old man.
Yuan Shuo said: "Sir, this is what the old man said."
Liu Yijin looked at the somewhat wretched old man in front of him, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Shuo suspiciously: "Where did you catch him?"
The old man knelt down directly on the ground and said, "Sir, please forgive me. I just go to Li Chun Courtyard to play, and chat and spank with those women. I have become familiar with them after going back and forth."
"On one occasion, I was chatting with an old friend and heard her talk about Maitreya Buddhism, that's all."
Liu Yijin hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"
"She said there was a widow living in the next street. Her name was Miao Ling and she was pretty good-looking."
At this point, the old man's face turned red: "I just wanted to change my taste, so I asked how Miao Ling was doing and if she wanted to find someone good."
"Then my old friend said that since he believes in Maitreya Buddhism, how could he be short of money?"
"that's it."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "That's all?"
The old man blushed with embarrassment: "Actually, I also went there in private, but that Miao Ling is not a Maitreya Buddhist at all."
"She is someone else's sweetheart, and her sweetheart is quite young."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Yuan Shuo. Liu Yijin also glared at Yuan Shuo with dissatisfaction: "Is this the information you got?"
Yuan Shuo didn't expect this to be the case. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This old man was breathing heavily when he spoke. I thought it was true."
"Okay, let it go."
Liu Yijin waved his hand: "There are people among the people who believe in Maitreya Buddhism, but what we want to arrest are people who believe in Maitreya Buddhism. If we simply arrest people who believe in Maitreya Buddhism, we won't be able to catch them all."
Yuan Shuo kicked the old man on the butt: "Get out!"
The old man laughed awkwardly and hurriedly ran outside.
"etc."
Mengyao on the side stepped forward, took out a banknote from her arms with a smile and stuffed it into the old man's hand: "Old man, I'm so sorry, you can take this banknote."
When the old man saw that the face value was one hundred taels, he was immediately startled: "Madam, you can't do this."
Mengyao pointed at Liu Yijin and said: "This is what my master gave you. If there are any matters related to Maitreya Buddhism in the future, you can come directly to me and tell me. As long as it is verified to be true, I will give you five hundred taels."
The old man's face showed ecstasy: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. My lord is a very big official. I can't lie to you. Besides, so many people died in Qingshui County, and it was all done by people from Maitreya Buddhism. We must give the people a Just explain."
The old man suddenly became excited: "Don't worry, sir. It's a matter of great importance to the people. I'm willing to help!"
Seeing the old man walking away happily, Liu Yijin sighed: "Mengyao, isn't this a bit of a fuss?"
"My lord, I don't know." Mengyao said with a smile: "Places like brothels are definitely where the most information is concentrated. There are all kinds of religions and streams."
"This man can take away a hundred taels from us with just one sentence. He will definitely tell others about this when he goes back. As long as we send people to follow him and keep an eye on the woman named Miao Ling, we will definitely Can find clues."
Liu Yijin hesitated for a moment: "Yuan Shuo, you used to be a member of Maitreya Buddhism. Are you still familiar with their contact information?"
Yuan Shuo hesitated for a moment and said: "I know a little, but..."
Liu Yijin sighed and said, "I understand your concerns, but it is a major matter related to the suppression of Maitreya Buddhism, and I need your help."
Yuan Shuo secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Since you believe me, I will try again, but with whom?"
Liu Yijin and Mengyao looked at each other and saw clues in each other's eyes: "Let's start with the person named Miao Ling."
Yuan Shuo took people down to make arrangements. Yuan Peng and others told them the news they had learned and what was going on in the city.
Liu Yijin sighed and said, "I have written a secret document to explain everything to Your Majesty, but once this matter reaches the imperial capital, it will inevitably cause twists and turns."
"I just don't know who your Majesty will send to deal with the matter this time."
Just as he was talking, he heard hurried footsteps outside, and then Erzhuzi walked in: "Brother Yijin, there is a general from the border who wants to see you. He said he is your old friend."
"Old friend? Let him in quickly."
Wu Zuo, dressed in armor, walked in with a smile: "Wu Zuo, a humble official, has met the general."
Liu Yijin was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Wu Zuo up: "General Wu, why are you here?"
"The Left Route Army and the Right Route Army have arrived at the border, but you have been nowhere to be seen. With such a big thing happening in Qingshui County, the eldest princess naturally guessed that you were here, so she asked me to rush over."
Liu Yijin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly introduced it to everyone.
After Mengyao and others learned Wu Zuo's identity, they resigned one after another.
"General, you were a bit hasty this time."
As soon as Wu Zuo sat down, the joy on his face became solemn.
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Why did General Wu say this?"
Wu Zuo coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Pass the eldest princess's secret order!"
Liu Yijing was stunned. He was about to stand up, but was stopped by Wu Zuo's eyes: "Sir, just sit back and listen."
"The eldest princess said, doesn't the general know that military orders are like mountains and military sentiment is paramount?"
"Now the left and right armies have reached the border, but you, the commander, are still missing. Although you are here to clean up the affairs of Maitreya Buddhism, have you thought about the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at the border?"
"If Daxia's siege starts at this time, but you, the general, are not here, and everything in the army cannot be coordinated, even if you have a hundred heads, it won't be enough."
Wu Zuo coughed lightly: "General, this is what the eldest princess meant."
Liu Yijin was also extremely embarrassed inside.
"Tomorrow is the last day for the arrival of reinforcements stipulated by Your Majesty and the Princess. If the general does not go, it will inevitably be a source of confusion."
Liu Yijin sighed: "But what should we do about things here?"
Wu Zuo rolled his eyes and said, "The general can give the general's seal to the eldest princess, and then take a few days off."
"Ask for leave?"
Liu Yijin was stunned for a moment: "Can I still ask for leave during the war?"
