After thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou felt relieved again.
Through observation during this period, he discovered that there were many followers of the Black Lotus Sect here in Qingtang.
Thinking about it, the old Qingtang King relied on the 'See You Tomorrow' monk to help preside over the ritual of seizing the body and rebirth, and also relied on the Black Lotus Sect's 'killing practice' technique to quickly give birth to a demigod-level master, most likely with
The Black Lotus Sect reached certain agreements and acquiesced to their missionary behavior in Qingtang.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Batu, the commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion, believed in the Black Lotus Sect.
Although Old Qingtang King's expression did not change, Qin Shaoyou clearly noticed through [Bright Eyes] that after he saw the black lotus Buddha statue that fell out of Batu's arms, there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
The old King of Qingtang tacitly allowed the Black Lotus Sect to spread in Qingtang in exchange for the many benefits of the Black Lotus Sect.
But he didn't expect that the Black Lotus Cult's ability to confuse people was so strong. In just over a year, even the commander of the patrol camp became their believer.
In addition to Batu, how many followers of the Black Lotus are hidden among the nobles, high-level officials, and important officials in Qingtang? If the Black Lotus is allowed to continue to develop like this, will Qingtang still be Qingtang in a few years? I'm afraid.
Is it going to become the Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom?
"I originally wanted to use the Black Lotus Sect, but I didn't expect that they would become the gangrene of my Qingtang! But it's still too late. When I finish seizing the body and gain a new life, I will take the Black Lotus Sect from me.
The territory of Qingtang was uprooted!"
Old Qingtang King took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and immediately ordered everyone to investigate the two cases of the Black Lotus Sect spreading rumors in dreams and harassing the palace to see if they have taken the responsibility in these two matters.
What kind of role.
If you really find evidence, you can use it to blackmail the Imperial Preceptor and ask him to come up with more and better things...
Immediately afterwards, Old King Qingtang narrowed his eyes again and scanned the people in the side hall: "Are there any followers of the Black Lotus Sect among you?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they were not.
Old Qingtang King nodded without expressing his position, as if he believed everyone's assurances.
But in fact, he didn't believe a word these people said.
After he came down, he planned to ask the wild gods around him to send more spies to keep an eye on these people, as well as the high-ranking nobles in Qingtang, to see which of them had been bewitched by the Black Lotus Cult.
After handling these matters, the old King of Qingtang just ordered people to get Qin Shaoyou's appointment documents and waist badges for the commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion.
For Qin Shaoyou to concurrently hold the position of commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion, the eyes of the commanders of the other two patrol battalions showed deep envy.
How much trust does it take to be in charge of two patrol battalions at the same time?
Although they knew before that that Dazan was the new celebrity among the Seventh Prince, they didn't understand until now how famous Dazan was.
While being envious, the two of them couldn't help but think in their hearts, if they had been braver and captured Batu before Dazan, would they be the ones leading the two patrol battalions now?
Unfortunately, in this world, there is no regret medicine.
However, Qin Shaoyou knew that Old Qingtang King was putting him on the fire, asking him to help attract fire and dissatisfaction.
Even though he seems to be quite popular now and is the popular figure in front of the Seventh Prince, but when the old King Qingtang completes the seizure and lets the Seventh Prince die, he will definitely be the first person to deal with it!
As long as you kill him, you can calm down the anger of many people and build up a lot of goodwill and prestige. Why not do it?
Now the various rewards and powers given to him by the old King Qingtang are like raising pigs. When the time comes and the pigs are fattened, it will be time to slaughter them.
Unfortunately, Old Qingtang King was wrong about one thing.
He is Qin Shaoyou, not Dazan, so it is impossible for the old King Qingtang to be raised like a pig.
If Old Qingtang King really regarded him as a pig, he would be eaten by pigs.
But at this moment, Qin Shaoyou pretended to be in tears of gratitude, and swore to the heavens and the earth: "Thank you, Lord Meng, for being so valued by King Meng, I will die with all my heart!"
"Don't worry about whether you will die or not, just live and work for the country."
After the old King Qingtang gave a few words of advice, he changed the topic and issued a new order to Qin Shaoyou.
"The guards around me reported that when they were killing the ghost king Yama, they saw an evil spirit escaping into the Jiaji Mansion. You immediately take people from the west and north patrol battalions to search the Jiaji Mansion. Don't let the evil spirit escape.
Harm the people in Jiaji Mansion."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the commander of the patrol battalion and the city guard general in the side hall changed, and they acted as if they had heard nothing and knew nothing.
In their opinion, the 'Seventh Prince' sent 'Dazan' to search the Jiaji Mansion to take the opportunity to take revenge on the Third Prince. They were afraid that they would be involved in the struggle for the throne and be crushed by this terrible whirlpool.
Qin Shaoyou had no such worries and accepted the order without hesitation.
This attitude alone made Old Qingtang King very satisfied.
However, he was also afraid that Qin Shaoyou would mess up, so he beckoned to him and whispered a few words: "If you can find it, check it. If you can't find it, just beat it. Don't go too far."
Qin Shaoyou instantly understood what the old Qingtang King meant, which was to remind him not to frame someone up.
That's right, when the old Qingtang King seizes Haibulu's body, Jiaji and the Feixiong tribe will become his support.
The old Qingtang King was naturally not willing to weaken the Jiaji and Feixiong tribes at this moment. He could just beat and frighten them to stabilize them and prevent them from causing trouble in seizing the body.
But how can Qin Shaoyou do what he wants? He must find a way to do something else.
Just what to do?
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and accepted the order, saying that he would act according to the instructions.
The old King Qingtang immediately waved his hands to everyone and issued an order to expel guests: "Since the evil spirit has been eliminated, you can go back. It has not been peaceful recently, and I hope you will work hard to protect the royal city and the people, so that similar things will not happen again.
"
When Qin Shaoyou, several patrol battalion commanders, and the city guard generals heard this, they all had serious expressions and bowed to accept the order.
On the way out of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the commanders and generals were divided into two extremes in their attitude towards Qin Shaoyou.
Some people came to get close to him and build relationships because he became a popular person in front of the "Seventh Prince".
Some people also stayed away from him because he was involved in the struggle for the throne, for fear of being implicated.
Although Qin Shaoyou was able to get closer to these people by relying on his 'smart tongue', he did not do that. Instead, he kept a straight face throughout the whole process. Facing the compliments and congratulations of others, he only responded coldly, as if he were a stranger.
The attitude of "stay away" should be followed to the end of "being an independent minister".
We haven't left the Seventh Prince's Palace yet. If Old Qingtang King finds out through his spy that he has the tendency to form gangs, wouldn't it cause more surveillance and trouble?
Only by being an "independent minister" can we dispel these suspicions of the old King Qingtang.
The commanders and generals who had a bad encounter with Qin Shaoyou, although they were dissatisfied, had stern looks on their faces and did not dare to show it.
The group of people quickly left the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Qin Shaoyou found Qin Qiao'er first. Cui Youhang and others winked and told them not to say anything, and ordered: "Leave a team of people on duty here, and the rest,
Follow me to Jiaji Mansion to search for evil spirits."
Immediately afterwards, he walked up to the group of people from the Northern Patrol Camp, took out the appointment documents and badges, and announced loudly:
"Batu colluded with evil spirits and tried to harm the Seventh Prince. He was killed by me on the spot. Now the Seventh Prince has ordered me to concurrently serve as the commander of the Northern Patrol Battalion. I will lead sinners like you to atone for their sins. Anyone who disobeys my orders
, they are Batu’s comrades and will be killed without mercy! After I have finished speaking, which of you agrees and who opposes?”
The people in the northern patrol camp looked at each other in confusion.
They recognized that the appointment document and waist badge in Qin Shaoyou's hand were indeed genuine. At the same time, they also knew that the other party would not dare to tell such a big lie at the gate of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
It's just that they couldn't understand why their leader, who was still thinking about taking refuge with the Seventh Prince during the day, became a sinner who colluded with evil spirits and tried to harm the Seventh Prince at night?
However, facing Qin Shaoyou's aggressive questions and the people from the Western Patrol Battalion who gathered around them, they could not think about this. Under the leadership of a deputy commander, they all bowed to Qin Shaoyou and saluted: "We are willing to listen to Dazan
The Commander-in-Chief has sent us, Commander-in-Chief Dazan, to lead us to atone for our sins and clear away our charges."
"very good."
Qin Shaoyou nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
