Gong Chaoqun simply couldn't find any reason not to accept this great gift.
As for his duties, he doesn't have to worry about solving cases. He can easily close the case and work well with both the government and the public. The story is so round and the public is happy to accept it.
In terms of the situation, although it may not have much impact on the Maitreya Sect as a whole, at least the situation in Yangzhou can be contained. Otherwise, with the prefecture and Cao Gang being full of Maitreya believers, Gong Chaoqun was simply worried that when he woke up tomorrow, Yangzhou would have changed the king's flag, and Gong Chaoqun's head would be cut off to sacrifice the flag.
In terms of righteousness, killing barbarians is righteousness.
In fact, this rubbish prefect is not clear about the Maitreya Sect, which makes it very difficult for him to investigate the Maitreya Sect. He has long wanted to kick this bastard to death. It can be said that the death of the prefect is a great gift in itself.
No matter where he looked at it, it was so perfect that he wanted to hug the real murderer and give him a kiss. He was so considerate when committing the crime.
As for finding the real murderer, is the real responsibility?
Anyway, Zhao Changhe will look for it.
Seeing that Gong Chaoqun obviously couldn't refuse this gift, Zhao Changhe smiled and said nothing more. Indeed, everyone would choose this.
There was something he hadn't said in his heart, and he knew it would be useless if he said it: Have you ever thought about why the murderer was so considerate, and what benefit would it have to him to do everything in his power? Just to get away with murder? You are. Without this arrangement, it would be difficult to find who you are.
Gong Chaoqun is a veteran of the serious crime team. It is impossible to think of these things. But after weighing it, the benefits are too obvious and he doesn't want to worry about other things.
Yue Hongling didn't have any other better ideas. She was happy to hear about the Maitreya cult or the barbarians. As for the real culprit, she would just help Changhe investigate it afterwards. She finally said: "I recently discovered the stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, which is located at the Bailian Temple ten miles east of the city."
"Sure enough, it is there! I have long suspected that it was blocked by the prefect in every possible way." Gong Chaoqun suddenly said: "Today we will uproot the Yangzhou Maitreya Sect!"
The assassination of the prefect was solved within an hour.
The prefect’s concubine was discovered by the Demon Suppressor to be a Maitreya sect goddess. Under interrogation, she confessed to using the Maitreya sect’s secret method to control the prefect and absorb the true essence;
And she confessed that under her control and induction, the prefect deliberately used various excuses to act, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and families, and were finally accepted by the Maitreya Sect in order to strengthen Maitreya believers;
Through all kinds of exploitation, the money not only enriched the prefect himself, but also enriched the Maitreya Sect.
-These are true facts.
Even when Ru Yan fell into the world and believed in the Maitreya religion, it all happened during this process.
As soon as the news came out, Yangzhou was in an uproar, and countless Maitreya believers were stunned, including Ruyan who was still receiving guests in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Of course, the dissemination of the news is an afterthought, and the prefect's concubine confessed more than just this.
He also confessed that seeing the prefect showing signs of being out of control, Maitreya taught evil to Bian Bian, colluded with the barbarian Chili, and assassinated the prefect in his room in the middle of the night.
Of course, this was just made up on the fly, and the logic needs to be scrutinized. However, mixed with the genuine products above, no one has thought about the loopholes here. It goes without saying that Gong Chaoqun would compile additional details when reporting to the court.
In short, it is enough to convince the army commander first.
In this prosperous place, the army has been depleted for a long time, but at least the army has not been penetrated too much by the Maitreya Cult - this is also the main factor why the Maitreya Cult still feels that it is almost in trouble and has not directly rebelled.
No matter how weak an army is, it is still an army. Just having a large number of people is very useful.
The Maitreya Sect has yet to form a militarized organization in the form of a family association. When the army began to raid the city to arrest Maitreya believers, the Maitreya Sect was caught off guard and had almost no power to resist.
The remaining energy was divided into hundreds of strong bows and crossbows, and hundreds of elite troops from the Demon Suppressing Division, together with Zhao Changhe, Yue Hongling and others, headed straight for the White Lotus Temple ten miles east of the city. )
Fa Yuan was a little restless in the temple today.
He knew that the prefect was assassinated and the city was sealed off, but this time the Demon Suppression Division had an extremely tight blockade. The outside world didn't know the details of the assassination, and they didn't know that the prefect died in front of their heavenly daughter.
In his mind, this matter was not caused by the Maitreya Cult, and it was impossible for all members to evacuate because of this incident. Instead, he was worried that the goddess in the prefect's family would not be discovered by the Demon Suppressor, and he was planning how to rescue her.
There are many other officials in the city who belong to their Maitreya cult, so it shouldn't be a big problem if they can get some people to bring out the innocent goddess.
In Fayuan's heart, assassinating the prefect was nothing short of a bastard. They, Maitreya Cult, spent so much effort to turn this prefect into one of their own. It only took a few years for him to die... God knows who was sent by the imperial court. What kind of person is a prefect who has to spend a long time working hard?
It would be fine if the leader had already taken action. The magistrate here would be dead. His fayuan raised his arms and shouted, and the city changed color. What more magistrate was needed? However, the leader had not yet done anything important. Now his fayuan was extremely headache, and Jin was not Neither does retreat.
Chi Li sat nearby and watched Fa Yuan pacing back and forth, and said coldly: "If you follow my suggestion, the master will either act decisively now and occupy Yangzhou, or evacuate immediately."
It is also true that the Maitreya Cult colluded with the barbarians. After Chili was injured, he was worried about getting into trouble, so he hid not in the prefect's mansion, but in the Bailian Temple.
Fayuan shook his head and said: "Your Khan has not yet raised his troops, and the leader cannot respond. How can I carry out an incident in Yangzhou alone?"
"Then evacuate. You goddesses are trapped in the magistrate's house. The Demon Suppressor is not a vegetarian. You'd better not have any luck and think you can still pull someone out. You should be prepared for the worst. She has been killed by the Demon Suppressor. Discover and control.”
"Even if you find out that she is the Maitreya Sect's goddess, you won't have to evacuate, right?"
In fact, Chili did not expect that the people in China were so dirty. They would blame Chili and the Maitreya Cult for the assassination of the prefect, regardless of who the real culprit was. In his heart, this matter had nothing to do with him. None, the prefect is his own person, and he will only be able to do it if he dies.
But the sensitivity brought by long-term life and death experience kept his heart beating, and he always felt that something was wrong. If he wanted to think about the specific reason, he really couldn't think of it for a while.
Seeing that Fa Yuan refused to evacuate, Chi Li also knew that there was no way to persuade him, so he stood up directly: "Then let's leave first."
Fayuan was very surprised: "Why is that so?"
Chi Li shook his head: "It's just intuition. It's like being stared at by wolves on the grassland. I have goosebumps all over my body. If you believe it, master, then leave. If you don't believe it, I have no reason. Anyway, we just leave first."
After saying that, he took Batu and others and left quickly.
Less than a moment after he left, there were shouts of killing outside. Hundreds of powerful bows and crossbows surrounded the White Lotus Temple. Elites from the Demon Suppression Division swarmed in. Gong Chaoqun took the lead and kicked open the temple door: "Zhang Banfo, come out and die!"
