In the darkness, after a brief silence, a strange voice sounded:
"The person who entrusted the dream was very cunning and avoided the palace, so we didn't notice it."
"We knew the news no earlier than you. How could we know who the person who entrusted us with the dream was?"
"Could they be people from the Black Lotus Sect? They are good at using the names of gods and Buddhas to deceive foolish men and women. They must be good at using the dream technique."
"I also suspect that it was done by people from the Black Lotus Sect. Those guys are inextricably linked to the faceless man you worshiped as your national master. Maybe they got it from the faceless man's mouth.
I heard some news."
"It seems that the faceless man's mouth is not as tight as ours."
"Black Lotus?"
The old Qingtang King who occupied Rikander's body ignored the strange laughter coming from the darkness around him. He frowned slightly, having the same suspicion in his heart, but also a bit puzzled.
"Why would the Black Lotus do this? Spreading rumors will ruin my big event, what good will it do to them?"
In the darkness, a wild god is calmly analyzing:
"The people of the Black Lotus Sect are all afraid that the world will not be in chaos. With today's rumors, the situation in Qingtang will inevitably become even more chaotic. Whether they are taking the opportunity to develop followers or reap so-called merits, they will do more than usual.
Easier. What’s more, for them, how can a cunning tycoon be easier to control than an ignorant and greedy fool?"
Old Qingtang King thought about it for a while and felt that this possibility was not impossible.
He stared at the darkness around him with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what method you use, find out who is doing this as soon as possible and what is the purpose. If it is really the Black Lotus Sect, put them in the Qing Dynasty."
Tang's power has been uprooted! Those who dare to oppose me and hinder my plan for rebirth will be killed by humans, ghosts and gods!"
The last words he spoke were so full of murderous intent that even the wild gods hiding in the darkness were frightened by his overwhelming murderous intent, stopped laughing, and responded to his orders one after another.
After sending Ye Shen to investigate what happened, King Lao Qingtang felt that this was not enough, and ordered people to summon the four patrol battalion commanders, including Qin Shaoyou, into the palace and give orders personally.
Through the observation of talents such as [Bright Eyes], [Listening] and [Wonderful Nose], Qin Shaoyou discovered that just after not seeing each other for a few days, the state of the old Qingtang King's soul and the body he occupied had become even worse.
Oh no.
The physical body has begun to grow hair, and it will become stiff if not treated. At that time, the soul of the old Qingtang King may be driven out of this body.
Qin Shaoyou secretly guessed: "It seems that the new round of seizures prepared by the old Qingtang King should be in the near future."
"Last night, a thief used the name of ghosts and gods to spread rumors about me through dreams. Have you all heard about it?"
As Rikander, the old King of Qingtang questioned the leaders of the four patrol battalions.
Among these four people, in addition to Qin Shaoyou, there is another person who has also been newly promoted. He, like Qin Shaoyou, the "cool official", belongs to the Seventh Prince Faction.
The other two commanders had stayed behind in Qingtang Royal City before, but luckily they did not die in the attack on Xia Kingdom.
But they are also afraid that Zikander will find excuses to deal with them.
Especially after this great defeat, they were even more afraid of becoming the target of Rikander's anger. Therefore, these days, they carried out the orders issued by Rikander very seriously and did not dare to disobey him in the slightest.
It's the same today.
Although they were all entrusted with dreams by ghosts and gods last night and were left guessing when they woke up, they still rushed to the palace as soon as they received the order.
But at this moment, after hearing 'Zikander's' question, they felt frightened and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, 'Zikander' didn't need their answer, and then said:
"Immediately go and find out the thief who entrusted me with the dream last night! Even if I only find some clues, I will reward you heavily! But if nothing is found, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless. In addition, if I ask you again
People patrol the city vigorously, and if they find someone spreading this rumor, they will arrest him and torture him to see who caused him to do this!"
The commanders of the other three patrol battalions, after surrendering, exited the study room and prepared to mobilize manpower to carry out investigation and cleanup inside and outside the royal city.
Qin Shaoyou said he had something to report and stayed.
After the commanders of the three patrol battalions left, he tentatively said: "Your Majesty, could it be the third prince who spread rumors that are unfavorable to you?"
When the old King Qingtang heard this, his eyes flashed, he stared at Qin Shaoyou, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you doubt the third brother...doubt my third brother?"
Qin Shaoyou encouraged his [Skillful Tongue] and deceived him: "Your Majesty, when I was called to his residence by Jiaji yesterday, he hinted to me to change my ways.
Now everyone here in the royal city knows that I, Dazan, am the eagle dog under the king's sect. It is impossible for Jiaji to be unclear about it, but he still hinted it to me.
I didn't react at the time. After I went back and thought about it carefully, I felt that it was not his intention, but the instructions from the third prince behind his back.
It is very possible that the third prince has secretly returned to the vicinity of the royal city. Because he is jealous of your reputation and status, he spreads such rumors and wants to damage your reputation so that he can do some treasonous acts!
Your Majesty, if you don't let me investigate secretly, if the third prince really returns to the vicinity of the royal city, I will find an opportunity to kill him!"
Old Qingtang King took a deep look at Qin Shaoyou, his eyes were complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a moment, he scolded with a straight face: "It is impossible for my third brother to do such a thing. Don't make random guesses. It's better to do an investigation. I suspect that this rumor was spread by a demon from the Black Lotus Sect.
, you can try in this direction."
After a pause, Old Qingtang King added: "If during the investigation, you really find out that my third brother is involved, you are not allowed to mess around. You must report to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou accepted the order with his hands in hand, looking like he was loyal to his duties.
After he excused himself and left the study, Old Qingtang King sighed softly.
"This Dazan is quite smart. He actually deduced from Jiaji's few words that Lao San is back. He is so smart that I am reluctant to kill him, a traitor and cruel official, after taking Lao San's body."
'Come to gain popularity among the people..."
When Qin Shaoyou walked out of the palace, he was surprised to find that the other three patrol battalion commanders were still gathered at the door and had not gone far.
When they saw him leaving the palace, the three commanders came up to him.
First they complimented each other, and each expressed their admiration for Commander Dazan's thunderous methods in recent days, and then said that they were colleagues now and should interact more in the future.
Finally, they revealed their true intention of staying and waiting for Qin Shaoyou.
"Commander Dazan, do you have any opinion on the case of ghosts and gods entrusting dreams last night?"
Afraid that Qin Shaoyou would not say anything, they all said: "Commander Dazan, don't get me wrong, we are not trying to grab the credit, but now, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. If we can't find out the clues, we will all suffer. So, there are
As for the news, it would be better to exchange it with each other. Solving this case as soon as possible will not only be good for us, but also prevent the Seventh Prince's reputation from suffering greater damage."
Qin Shaoyou almost laughed out loud when he heard what these three commanders said.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to direct the investigation to the Black Lotus Sect and the Ghost King of Yama.
Before, Old Qingtang King took the initiative to ask him to investigate the Black Lotus Sect, but now these three "colleagues" came to ask for advice. Wasn't this opportunity coming to his door?
He tried not to laugh out loud, and said with cupped hands: "I don't think I should take it seriously. Last night, I also dreamed about the ghost and god who spread rumors. I just felt that his appearance seemed familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere. In addition, I just saw him somewhere.
I reported some things to the Seventh Prince. It’s not convenient to disclose the details, but when I resigned, the Seventh Prince pointed out a way for me to investigate the Black Lotus Sect.”
"The ghosts and gods look familiar?"
"Investigating the Black Lotus?"
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, the three commanders either pondered deeply or looked suspicious.
Qin Shaoyou achieved his goal, so he said no more and said goodbye.
After he left, the three commanders also dispersed.
One of them, after bringing along his trusted subordinates, went straight out of the city and went straight to the temple of the Ghost King Yama outside the city.
