Murong Fu informed several people about the Ming Cult.
After Gou read and listened, he felt that Murong Fu was thoughtful and that the existence of Mingjiao was indeed an uncontrollable factor for Dayan.
Although the various uprisings in the Song Dynasty were small in scale, a single spark could start a prairie fire. What's more, there were people behind these uprisings operating in secret?
The remaining ministers were all retainers of the Murong family. They were only in their positions temporarily. They may not have much talent, but they were absolutely loyal to Murong Fu. Therefore, when they learned that Murong Fu said he was going to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors, he was actually going to Jiangnan. , all expressed their approval.
Gou Du sighed, "It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor took a whim and crossed the ocean with a merchant ship to go to another country. Otherwise, it would have to be the Supreme Emperor who went to the south of the Yangtze River to explore the Catholic Church."
After all, Murong Fu is the king of a country, but now he wants to personally investigate the affairs of Jianghu. This is really inappropriate in Gou Du's opinion.
Murong Bo, on the other hand, has become much more leisurely since she was named Supreme Empress. If he was still in Dayan, it would be perfect for him to handle this errand.
Murong Fu was not worried about this, "It's rare that he wants to go out and have a look, just let him go!"
"It's just that after I leave, the work of the state will have to be shared among several of you!"
Gou Du and several ministers immediately bowed their heads and expressed that they would fulfill their duties to the best of their ability. ?.?????.???
Murong Fu then let them go down. Thinking of the haste in which this matter was decided, before he informed Wang Yuyan and the others, Murong Fu hurried to the harem again.
When they learned that Murong Fu was going to Jiangnan, Azi and Qing'er immediately expressed their intention to go with him.
Murong Fu felt funny in his heart, but he already had someone in mind for this trip to Jiangnan, so he had no choice but to appease Ah Zi and the others and let them stay in Dragon City.
Azi was very depressed after hearing this. Fortunately, Murong Fu didn't take anyone with him this time, which made her feel a lot more balanced.
The ladies knew that Murong Fu was going to Jiangnan in person and that this matter must be very urgent, so they all told him to be careful.
Acting requires a complete set. After Murong Fu spent a good night with Ah Zi, he went to stay at the ancestral temple the next day under the protection of the Imperial Guards.
In fact, after entering the ancestral temple, he took the opportunity to leave and ride the sacred eagle south.
…
Dali, Yuxu Temple.
The night is as dark as water, the crowds are lonely, and in the deep and secluded Taoist temple, only the sound of wooden fish echoes constantly.
Under the green lantern candlestick, a beautiful figure was kneeling on a futon. Against the backdrop of the candlelight, she looked so lonely and alone.
"After we were separated, we met again and again, and shared our dreams with you several times..."
In a daze, Dao Baifeng seemed to hear Murong Fu's voice ringing in her ears. She knocked the wooden fish in her hand for a moment, and then she thought that she was infatuated with lovesickness, and suddenly looked behind her as if she had something in her heart.
Murong Fu was seen wearing a black robe and looking at her with a smile.
Dao Baifeng walked towards the other person in disbelief. It was not until her fingertips touched the other person's face and a hint of warmth came from her that she was truly convinced that she was not dreaming.
Murong Fu reached out and took her into his arms, smelling the reassuring fragrance on his body, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of obsession.
After too many separations and reunions, Dao Baifeng would no longer be moved to tears when she saw Murong Fu again, but her affection for Murong Fu couldn't be more sincere. At this time, she was nestling in his arms, feeling only Endless joy, face full of happiness and attachment.
After Murong Fu had only been honest for a moment, he couldn't help but act evil. He put his hand into Dao Baifeng's Taoist robe and asked for help.
Dao Baifeng's pretty face was slightly red. In order to cover up her shame, she took the initiative to kiss Murong Fu's lips. She stretched out her jade arms and wrapped them around his neck, letting him bully him in every way.
Murong Fu held Dao Baifeng's soft waist and slowly placed it on the ground. As the belt around her waist was untied, the loose Taoist robe immediately slid down her skin and spread out into a thin blanket. .
The fragrant and delicate skin is white and rosy with a moist luster, making it look delicate and charming, just like a ripe fairy peach, tempting people to take a bite.
Dao Baifeng flicked out the red candle with her fingers, and without giving Murong Fu a chance to feast his eyes, she stretched out her arms to hug him and kissed him passionately again.
The two hugged each other tightly. Unknowingly, all the clothes on Murong Fu's body were taken off by the other party. Dao Baifeng turned over, revealing a few rays of white light shining through the crack in the door. At this time, she His eyes are filled with autumn water, and his face is rosy, showing his charming charm. How can he still have the otherworldly and cold Taoist look when he was knocking on the wooden fish just now?
After a while, lovesickness is like the sea, love is like the tide, and the room is filled with spring.
…
Jiangnan, Muzhou.
A carriage slowly drove into Qingxi County and stopped in front of an inn.
A young couple walked out of the carriage. The man was very handsome, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower. Especially her extremely charming figure, which was not at all like that of a first-married woman. Just look at this beautiful young woman. She looks like she is only twenty-three or four years old.
The coachman hurriedly went into the inn to prepare everything for his master, and led the two of them to stay upstairs.
As soon as the door was closed, the man held the beautiful young woman in his arms and sat down, holding her waist with one hand and groping up and down dishonestly with the other.
"Look at how anxious you are, it's not even night yet!"
The beautiful woman's face turned red and she couldn't help but pat her husband's shoulder lightly.
"Who said we have to wait until night?"
A wicked smile appeared on the man's face, and then he became even more aggressive.
The beautiful woman remained reserved for a moment, but was teased to the point of gasping for breath. She had no choice but to say, "Wait a minute, I'm not used to looking at your face."
Hearing this, the man stopped moving, stretched out his hand to brush his face, and took off a thin piece of face. Under the mask was a handsome face as handsome as a demon.
At this time, the beautiful woman slowly took off the skin from her face, and her beautiful appearance became more delicate and beautiful. The afternoon sun shone slantly on her cheeks, which were crystal clear and brilliant. Although she was middle-aged, she still had no beauty. Minus, and such an appearance only matches her unique and alluring figure.
"Isn't it much more pleasing to the eye?"
Murong Fu asked with a smile.
Dao Baifeng lowered his eyes shyly and said softly, "Yeah."
It turned out that these two people were Murong Fu and Dao Baifeng, who disguised themselves as a couple and came to Jiangnan to inquire about Mingjiao. The two set out from Dali to Jiangnan and found the branch of the Shadow Tower.
After randomly purchasing a false identity, Murong Fu used the face mask made in advance to change his appearance with Dao Baifeng, and came to Muzhou.
Thinking that the carriage was driving all the way, the two of them didn't have time to get intimate, so as soon as they arrived at the inn, Murong Fu couldn't wait.
After Dao Baifeng glanced at the closed doors and windows, she let him bully her. The two of them fell in love with each other, and after a storm in Wushan, they cuddled up in bed and talked about business.
"Muzhou seems to be the only prefecture and county among Jiangnan, Zhejiang and Zhejiang that has not had an uprising. Why would you want to come here to look for clues?"
Dao Baifeng looked at Murong Fu's profile as sharply as an axe, and after enjoying the sight for a while, she couldn't help but ask.
Murong Fu naturally would not tell her that he knew from the history of later generations that Fang La revolted in Muzhou, and Fang La was the future leader of Mingjiao, so he came to Muzhou to inquire about the news.
"Hu, Hang, Qu, Wu and other states in Jiangnan and Zhejiang all have uprisings to varying degrees. Madam thinks, why does Muzhou, which is alone in the center of several states, have no people revolting?"
When Dao Baifeng heard Murong Fu calling her wife, she felt so happy that she immediately kissed him on the face as a sign of encouragement.
"Is it because Muzhou is rich in products and rich businessmen often come and go to do business? This place is rich and not burdened by heavy taxes, so the people did not revolt?"
Murong Fu and the others naturally asked for news about Muzhou along the way, so Dao Baifeng also heard some things about this place.
"Otherwise, in the first year of Zizhenghe, the southeast suffered greatly from the Flower and Stone Gang. Because Emperor Huizong was interested in rare flowers and stones, he set up a Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou and ordered the treacherous minister Zhu Meng to search for rare flowers and stones in central Zhejiang and donate them."
"Zhu Meng is a man who is cunning and deceitful. He spends money on officialdom and seeks every possible means. He not only extorts flowers and stones, but more and more of them are taken away year by year. The people are deeply troubled and miserable, and middle-class families are bankrupt. What's more, they have to sell their children. The evil deeds of women can be seen clearly if they are used for extortion.”
"Muzhou is rich in lacquer trees, mulberry trees, fir trees, etc. It is said that among the two prefectures in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, Muzhou is the most affected. Officials of the Construction Bureau often take the wood by force, and the people have already complained."
Murong Fu did not just have fun with Dao Baifeng on this journey. He had already ordered the Shadow House to find out the information about Jiangnan and other places. However, there was still no trace of the Ming Cult members.
Dao Baifeng didn't expect that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would be so extravagant and unprincipled, and that the officials below him would impose excessive taxes and exploit the common people. How could the common people not revolt under such strong pressure?
In comparison, although Dali is a small country, it can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful for the people.
"So, there is no uprising in Muzhou, which is contrary to common sense?"
Murong Fu said, "Yes, this time you and I pretend to be merchants who come to Muzhou for business. Maybe we can find clues about Mingjiao."
Dao Baifeng had to admire Murong Fu's intelligence and looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Murong Fu planned to rest tonight and inquire about the news tomorrow, so under Dao Baifeng's charming eyes, he once again immersed himself in the gentle land.
…
Early the next morning, the two put on their masks and left the inn.
Compared with the desolate scenes they saw along the way, Qingxi County seemed to be unaffected by the imperial court's excessive taxation and uprisings in various places. There were even many small vendors operating on the streets.
When Murong Fu came, he found out that Fang La lived in Yan Village, Qingxi County, and had a lacquer garden at home. He was deeply persecuted by the Yingfeng Bureau. However, it was rumored that this man had a generous personality and was willing to do good, so he was quite popular. If it weren't for him in Qingxi County, Support, I am afraid that many people have lost their families and left their homes.
