Chapter 196 Ten Flowers 10

Li Shen was indeed lying. This realization made Bo Ruoyou feel more and more that Bo Lanzhou's case was not that simple, "Master Hou, Li Shen's evidence was false, either to cover up this person or several children. There is also an inside story about the case, or both of these are his goals."

Huo Weilou handed her the long letter in his hand. While Bo Ruoyou was reading the letter, he continued: "Li Shen murdered six children in the past ten years. The Taoist priest of Feiyun Temple also said that he was returning to secular life. After returning, he began to make money by deceiving believers. It seemed that he was ill, but his illness was just a coincidence."

It seems that God is really bringing retribution. Li Shen, who relied on evil theories to deceive people in Yizhou, never thought that he would really suffer from such a terminal illness.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then raised his voice and ordered the attendants outside, "Go to Jingzhao Yamen and ask Sun Zhao to come to the Hou Mansion."

The attendant took the order and left. He added: "Li Shen began to believe in □□ before he returned to secular life. Then he must have gone astray in Feiyun Temple, or Feiyun Temple itself is not upright. Or, there were other gangsters around him back then."

Li Shen grew up in Feiyunguan and received the teachings of his master and senior brothers since he was a child. If his master and senior brothers were also disciples, then many of his subsequent actions would make sense, but if the Taoist priests around him were all righteous. , then it would be very weird if he believed it later.

Sun Zhao came very quickly. Because he didn’t know why the Hou Mansion was summoned, he also brought Wu Xiang with him. As soon as he entered the study, Huo Weilou showed the news from Yizhou to Sun Zhao and the others. After they finished reading, Their expressions all changed drastically.

Sun Zhao said nervously: "This Li Shen is actually lying——"

Li Shen's case file has been sent to the Criminal Department and will be finalized soon. If the case changes, it means that their government office is in trouble. Huo Weilou saw his expression in his eyes and said: "Look carefully, Li Shen is here At that time in Yizhou, he not only promoted the art of death and almost killed people, but also instigated people to commit murders and sacrificed living people to seek the protection of the true god. Don't you think it looks familiar?"

Sun Zhao was in charge of the internal and external administration of the capital, and his thoughts were not limited to the murder case, but Wu Xiang reacted faster than him, "Isn't this because Jiang Xing and the others murdered Leader Zhao?"

He looked at Sun Zhao, "Sir, do you remember the testimony of Chen Mo and Liu Qing? They said that when they were young, they originally planned to go south, but they met a benefactor at the Gyeonggi Pier. The benefactor taught them the Bodhisattva Sutra. They returned to the capital and killed Leader Zhao and his family. The benefactor's words are the same as what Li Shen said."

Sun Zhao suddenly realized it, and when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but be horrified, "The person Liu Qing and the others met back then couldn't be Li Shen, right?"

Wu Xiang frowned, "I still remember their confessions. They said that the benefactor was richly dressed at that time. At first glance, he seemed to be from a wealthy family, and he had a certain air of immortality. They were shocked by a few words. That's why I believed in the Bodhisattva Sutra, and that was twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, Li Shen was already ill and returned to Feiyun Temple. He was criticized for his unscrupulous behavior. His subordinates I feel that the person Liu Qing and the others met was not Li Shen."

Huo Weilou looked at Sun Zhao, "Where are Liu Qing and Chen Mo?"

Sun Zhao hurriedly said: "It has been transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Because he murdered five people that year and killed his master and his wife, which is against human ethics, he has been sentenced to death. He is only waiting for a review by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. After the year Execution is convenient."

"Li Shen's body is in Yizhuang?" Huo Weilou asked again.

When Sun Zhao nodded, Huo Weilou ordered: "Send someone to bring the two of them out to identify Li Shen's body, just in case."

Sun Zhao accepted the order, and Huo Weilou said again: "Send people to Feiyun Temple to investigate carefully to see if there are any people in Feiyun Temple who do not correct the Tao. Li Shen was not sick at that time, so it was impossible for him to do it without reason. Someone must have taught him the art of death if he believed in it. Let’s find out who were the pilgrims in Feiyun Temple from fourteen years ago to now. If Li Shen hadn’t been guided by his masters, then he would have It is very likely that there is something wrong with the pilgrims who go to the Taoist temple the most. Combined with the confessions of Liu Qing and others, most of those people are either rich or noble."

Li Shen returned to secular life in the 14th year of Jianhe. At this time, he was no longer an orthodox Taoist. That is to say, he had been influenced by Taoism before the 14th year of Jianhe, and Gyeonggi Ferry was only half the distance from the capital. No matter how you calculate the daily schedule, this gang must have penetrated into and outside the capital, and there are already people who are either rich or noble involved.

Sun Zhao did not dare to think deeply. As the prefect of Jingzhaoyi, he did not dare to be careless and hurriedly took Wu Xiang on errands.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then looked at Bo Ruoyou, and found that she was also deep in thought. Their eyes met, and Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but walk up to him, "Master Hou, now that things have happened, it is even more necessary. Let me try that method."

Huo Weilou frowned and did not respond for a moment. Lu Ke next to him saw that the two of them were in a stalemate. We also need to find out whether Li Shen harmed people because of his own actions, and I may be the best witness, so let’s give it a try."

The development of the matter was unexpected, but Bo Ruoyou was determined and unyielding. She looked at Huo Weilou with a stern look, even though she was as tough as him, and her mind was shaken. He raised his hand, "Come here -"

Bao Ruoyou walked behind the desk. Huo Weilou pulled her and made her sit on his lap. He didn't speak, he just rubbed Bo Ruoyou's palm. Anyone could see his hesitation.

Bao Ruoyou raised his hand and touched Huo Weilou's face, "Is the Marquis afraid that I will really go crazy and never wake up again?"

Even if it was just a question, these words made Huo Weilou's heart suffocate. Bo Ruoyou's lips did not bend, she held his face and made him look at her. When their eyes met, she said softly: "Ren Ruoyou Crazy and stupid, it must be that I lost my true heart and will because of extreme despair and despair. But I miss you, but I can't let go of him, and I will not let myself be trapped by my inner demons."

It was rare for her to speak so heartfeltly and softly. Hearing Huo Weilou's heartbeat, he couldn't help lowering his head and biting her lips. He tightened his arms, first grinding, then breaking apart her lips and teeth, and sucking , stirred, Bo Ruoyou's straight back gradually softened, his breathing was uneven, and he was dazed. Only when she fell completely into his arms did Huo Weilou retreat.

He pressed her forehead against hers, his voice hoarse, "You'll only try it once, if you don't succeed, you won't be allowed to mention it again in the future."

Bo Ruoyou's cheeks were as bright as spring peaches, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling. Her thin red lips were slightly open, but she was unable to speak. She only trembled with her delicate body and leaned towards his shoulder. She raised her arms and held him. He hugged.

Since I wanted to use this method, I asked for a real scene. Ming Guilan entered the Hou Mansion three times in one day. He was a little surprised to see Huo Weilou change his mind so quickly. After pondering for a moment, Ming Guilan said: "The old ruined temple has been demolished long ago and there is no way to go back. The terrain along the Keluo River has not changed. In my opinion, it is better to find an abandoned old house outside the city and decorate it according to my memory. ."

Looking for a house and setting requires a lot of effort. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou and she nodded, "It's so great, I'm just bothering Mr. Ming."

Ming Guilan smiled warmly and said, "I am also a victim of this case. If there is an accomplice behind Li Shen, I should do my best."

After some discussion, there were regulations. Huo Weilou now wanted to investigate two cases. Ming Guilan took over the matter and said that everything should be arranged as soon as possible. Before that, Bo Ruoyou was not allowed to see his set. , lest it lose effectiveness.

After returning to Cheng's house in the evening, Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to have dinner. After the meal, Cheng Yunzhi stooped his back and coughed lightly. Bo Ruoyou poured tea for him and said: "It has been cold recently, and my adoptive father has contracted the disease. Typhoid fever?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and shook his head, "I went to walk around the yard in the afternoon and took a few bites of the cold wind. I'm old and can't bear the slightest bit of cold. It's nothing serious."

Bo Ruoyou didn't want to tell him about this dangerous trip. Seeing this, he calmed down and persuaded Cheng Yunzhi to take some **** soup to dispel the cold before sending him to rest.

The next day, Bao Ruoyou went to the Hou Mansion again. Cheng Yunzhi saw that she was in good spirits, so he did not stop her. When Bao Ruoyou arrived at the Hou Mansion, he met Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang coming to the Hou Mansion to resume their duties. .

A few people entered the mansion together, and when they arrived at the study, Lu Ke happened to be discussing something with Huo Weilou.

Everyone sat down and Sun Zhao said: "We didn't dare to stop for even a moment yesterday. We did everything the Marquis ordered. First, we took Liu Qing and Liu Qing out of the prison to see Li Shen's body. Although Li Shen had been dead for many years, On that day, some corpses were transformed, and their features could be vaguely seen. However, yesterday, Liu Qing and Chen Mo couldn't tell whether the person from back then was Li Shen. The only thing they remembered was that the person was luxuriously dressed and had his own majesty. Tolerance——"

This happened twelve years ago. Liu Qing and the others must have vague memories, and they subconsciously amplified certain impressions, which will naturally cause deviations. Huo Weilou was not surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Feiyun What about watching?"

Wu Xiang said: "When I went to Feiyun Temple for the first time, my subordinates had already checked everything, and found nothing strange at that time. When I went there yesterday, my subordinates checked more carefully and went to several places around. I visited the village and asked around. After asking, some villagers still remembered that there was a Taoist priest in Feiyun Temple who did not follow the right path. In addition, they spoke very well of other Taoist priests and did not see any other Taoist priests preaching evil practices. Evil principles, so this Feiyun Temple should be an orthodox Taoist sect."

If Feiyun Temple itself is not wrong, then Li Shen himself has gone astray. Wu Xiang then took out a roster from his arms and said, "The Marquis ordered to inquire about the pilgrims, and his subordinates also checked. The incense in Feiyun Temple is not very popular. There are not many people who have been offering incense in the temple for many years. They have been worshiping here for more than two years. Most of them are famous families in the capital, and the worst are the homes of wealthy gentry and merchants."

Huo Weilou opened the roster, and soon he frowned. Lu Ke asked hurriedly: "Did the Marquis notice something strange?"

"Wang Qingfu's name is in this."

Lu Ke was surprised, "Wang Qingfu? He doesn't believe in Buddhism or Taoism, why is he on the list of pilgrims?"

Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang naturally recognized Wang Qingfu's name. Wu Xiang said at this time: "He is indeed on the list. When I saw him, my subordinates also felt strange, and asked the old Taoist priest in the temple, then The old Taoist priest said that since Wang Qingfu came to Beijing as an official sixteen or seventeen years ago, he has been going to Feiyun Temple. Although it is not common, he is quite generous and occasionally invites the Taoist priest to preach Taoist scriptures."

"It is very common for pilgrims to give lectures, and the old Taoist priest did not find it strange. However, Wang Qingfu has not been there since the beginning of this year. He still thought it was strange at the time. Later, he heard about Wang Qingfu's accident in the summer. It was quite sad at the time."

Huo Weilou said in a deep voice, "He was a second-level Jinshi in the twelfth year of Jianhe. At that time, he joined the Ministry of Rites as a civil servant, and later served as the director of the Ministry of Rites for two years. Because he was familiar with the rituals and musical calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he He went to Taichang Temple and took up the post of Shaoqing."

He sneered coldly, "You don't believe in Buddhism, but you steal Buddhist treasures. You don't believe in Taoism, but you make generous offerings of incense in Taoist temples. If you say that he does this without any intention, then there is something wrong with him."

Lu Ke continued: "Master Hou thinks that he may be related to the gang Li Shen participated in?"

Huo Weilou continued to read down, and said as he read: "It is very possible that he stole the Buddha treasure for unknown purposes. If he also believed in some weird heresies, there would be an explanation."

As he spoke, Huo Weilou had already looked through the list of dozens of people, "There are indeed many familiar faces here."

His eyes stopped at the last few names, "Uncle Zhongyi is indeed among them."

More than a month ago, Feng Qin pointed out to them that there was a Taoist priest in Feiyun Temple who was kicked out. Then he followed the clues and found Li Shen. His name appeared as expected.

Huo Weilou put down the roster and said, "Let's interrogate Wang Qingfu's family to find out why he went to Feiyun Temple to worship. We will wait for news from Cangzhou and Zhenxi Army. I don't believe this is a coincidence."

Lu Ke left in response, and Sun Zhao began to sweat on his forehead, "This... this is indeed a coincidence. Wang Qingfu's case is not over yet, but it is related to Li Shen's murder. If these two cases are related to □□ is related, so is this □□ also related to officials in the DPRK? Wang Qingfu entered Beijing as an official seventeen years ago, and he went to Feiyun Temple at that time. This is too early."

Huo Weilou's eyes were full of coldness, "If this is the case, I'm afraid it would have started before he entered the capital as an official."

However, the news from Qiangzhou has not yet arrived. Huo Weilou had some calculation in his heart and did not give any more instructions to Sun Zhao. Li Shen’s case was originally within the responsibilities of Jingzhaoyi Yamen, but Wang Qingfu’s case was originally under the direct supervision of the Secretary. Secret investigation, and now it seems that Wang Qingfu is involved with Li Shen, but there is still a lack of evidence.

Sun Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "Before entering the capital, we need to check Wang Qingfu's life carefully. But I heard that he came from the Wang family in Qiangzhou, which was a very famous clan in Qiangzhou, but it has declined now. He was only in his twenties when he became a Jinshi. If there really is a so-called leader, he cannot be the leader."

"He committed suicide in Famen Temple out of fear of guilt, probably because he was afraid that he would reveal more during interrogation. I even believe that there is someone with a higher status than him behind him."

Sun Zhao's eyes narrowed, "He later became the minister of Taichang Temple, and he was a third-rank official. There were not many people above him."

Thinking that this matter involves a certain high-ranking official in the court, and may even be related to the royal family, cold sweat dripped from Sun Zhao's forehead, "Will a person with such a high position still believe in those evil ways?"

"Most people in high positions will not have all their desires. They either seek higher power, wealth and glory, or they seek immortality. They may not even be able to display it in the court, but instead have some thoughts of starting a sect. Because of his thoughts, the White Lotus Sect in the northwest even taught the people to rebel, and at that time there were also officials from the DPRK and the Central Government who colluded with them. You should know the cause of this disaster."

Huo Weilou's tone was ordinary, but Sun Zhao was frightened for a while. Of course he knew it, and he also knew how many officials from the court had died in that incident. His heartstrings tightened for a moment, and suddenly he had an idea: "In that case, except for In addition to Wang Qingfu's evil intentions, should other pilgrims who often go to Feiyun Temple also be carefully investigated? Will someone use the gatherings in Taoist temples or Buddhist places to form secret parties for personal gain and form evil sects?"

Huo Weilou's eyes immediately fell back on the roster, and he quickly said: "Most of them are from the capital's aristocratic families. It seems that you need to find someone who is familiar with each aristocratic family to help."
