Qin Shaoyou was not surprised at all that Lu Bing was able to see through his intentions.
How could someone who could be the commander of the Demon Suppression Division be so simple?
That is to say, Lu Bing has great power and strength, and he does not bother to play tricks, otherwise others may not know what is going on if he is plotted to death by him.
It's even possible to be grateful to him.
Although exposed, Qin Shaoyou did not immediately answer Lu Bing's inquiry.
Because this matter involved a lot, he needed to determine Lu Bing's attitude first.
When Qin Shaoyou was thinking about how to speak, Lu Bing saw that he was hesitant and said again:
"You are from my Demon Suppression Department, what can't you tell me? And if you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you deal with it.
You don't think that the old foxes in the editing factory and Qin Tian Prison are as easy to deceive as the stall owner and Lang Guan just now, do you?
If those old foxes see that you are scheming against them, even if you have entered the third level, they will still use various means to retaliate against you. "
Qin Shaoyou heard the implication of Lu Bing's words, which was to help him with things.
He also believed that what Lu Bing said was true. If the Jishi Factory and Qin Tian Jian could keep pace with the Demon Suppression Division, they would naturally have many capable people, and they would not be so easy to fool.
But can Lu Bing be trusted?
Qin Shaoyou looked at Qin Qiaoer, who nodded slightly, and then looked sideways at the statue of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch placed on the coffee table.
This statue was brought to the lobby by Qin Shaoyou, with some oil stains on the corners of its mouth that had not yet been wiped off.
But it was caused by eating the fried bead clay pot rice just now.
Qin Shaoyou asked Cai Kun to take him away precisely because he did special things to Xu Wei's brothers after eating the claypot rice with explosive beads and using the effect of spiritual food to improve his [Bright Eyesight] and [Smart Tongue]. The art of hypnosis.
Under the influence of [Bright Eyes] and [Skillful Tongue], the man forgot that he had confided to Qin Shaoyou that Xu Wei had presented the secret method to the guarding eunuch to lend his descendants Yangshou and increase their lives.
In fact, Qin Shaoyou wanted that person to forget all the memories related to Xu Wei.
It's a pity that these memories left such a deep impression on that person that it was difficult to brainwash him in a short while.
In addition, many people in Ma's Trading Company knew that his relationship with Xu Wei was not simple. If the people in the editing factory launched an investigation, they could also find out that Xu Wei practiced witchcraft. It would be easier to wash away this memory. Being suspected, Qin Shaoyou could only give up.
At this moment, seeing Qin Shaoyou's gaze, the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch just looked back at him with two wooden eyes, and showed no reaction at all.
The Patriarch's statue did not respond, but Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.
He has become familiar with the temperament of the Patriarch Statue. If there is a problem with Lu Bing, the Patriarch Statue will definitely warn him.
Now that the Patriarch's statue has no reaction, it shows that Lu Bing is a trustworthy person, at least he will not kill himself after hearing the secret.
You must know that the Demon Suppression Division worships the founder of Jiutian Demon, and all the night watchmen regard themselves as his disciples and grandsons.
As for these night watchmen, especially commanders like Lu Bing, the patriarch who collects incense from them every day should still be very clear.
If Lu Bing can really help, even if it is just to provide some support and convenience, it will be of great help in finding out the cause of death of the previous princes.
Moreover, it can further protect the little prince.
If Emperor Jianwu really did something to increase the longevity of his descendants, the young prince would undoubtedly be in danger after returning to the capital.
So Qin Shaoyou no longer hesitated.
Although he still did not tell the secret that he had been tortured about, he opened his mouth and asked, "I dare you to ask the commander first, what is the purpose and responsibility of our Demon Suppression Department?"
Lu Bing replied sternly: "Of course, like the founder of Jiutian Demon, he subdues demons and protects the health of the people. Otherwise, how could we be called night watchmen? Isn't it because there are many demons at night and we need to protect them? It’s safe.”
As if aware of Qin Shaoyou's intention, Lu Bing raised his eyebrows and added thoughtfully:
“Even if a prince colludes with demons and ghosts and performs sorcery to harm others, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people.
You have personally experienced the case of King Shu. As a member of the clan, the King of Shu should have been interrogated and dealt with by the Zongren Mansion. However, because he was involved in evil arts and evil practices, and even his adopted son was imprisoned, which caused great harm and extremely bad influence, it was eventually changed to the Demon Suppression Division, Dali Temple and the Zongren Mansion. Trial by three courts.
After interrogation, the King of Shu confessed to the crime he had committed and set a death sentence, which would be executed in half a month. The vassal king can be convicted and executed, who else has a higher status than him..."
Speaking of this, Lu Bing's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something.
When he looked at Qin Shaoyou, his eyes immediately became sharp and solemn, and he asked, "What exactly did you find out?"
Lu Bing's gaze at this moment was like a real sword, sharp and piercing.
But Qin Shaoyou was not frightened by him. Instead, he looked directly at him and told him the whole thing from beginning to end, including Xu Wei's offer to steal Sun Yangshou to increase his life.
After hearing this, even though Lu Bing's palace was extremely deep, he couldn't help but look shocked.
"Are you suspecting that His Majesty has practiced such evil methods to increase longevity? The prince died suddenly and mysteriously before. Is this the reason?"
Now that the matter has been explained, Qin Shaoyou no longer conceals his suspicions and nods to admit: "My subordinates do have suspicions in this regard."
After a pause, he added: "I have finished telling what I know about the situation. I wonder how the commander will deal with it? Will he kill us to silence us, or help us find out the matter?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiaoer on the side suddenly looked nervous.
Lu Bing did not give an answer immediately.
The expression on his face kept changing. After a while, he exhaled a breath and said slowly:
"If things are really as you guessed, then His Majesty is no longer a human king! Qingtang is in danger of destroying the country because their leader has practiced sorcery. We cannot follow in his footsteps..."
Although Lu Bing didn't say it clearly, Qin Shaoyou understood what he meant and couldn't help being surprised.
He came from another world and had no respect for the emperor. But Lu Bing was different. He had been taught the idea of loyalty to the emperor since he was a child. It was not easy for him to make such a decision.
No wonder the statue of the Patriarch did not warn.
Sensing Qin Shaoyou's surprise, Lu Bing said again:
“When Taizu first founded the country, he carved a stone and erected a stele, clearly stating that if any of the descendants in future generations practice witchcraft, they should be removed from the Jade Spy.
If there are any serious harms, they should be punished according to the law. Therefore, the Yihuo incident has not never happened in this dynasty.
Shaoyou, can you put down the weapons you hide behind your back? "
