In the courtyard hall of the north tower, the majestic Imperial City Secretary Gao Qingtian poked his finger at all the guests in the hall, as if he was not prepared to let any of them go.
Gao Qiu's goal is very clear. The young master of the Houjiang Guild is the main target tonight. It is natural for such a person with a criminal record to use the Ming Zun Teaching to slander him, and he will receive extremely generous rewards afterwards.
When it comes to the three brothers Wu Shifan, Wu Shixia, and Wu Shi'an, as the sons of the prefect of Kaifeng, it will be a bit difficult to drag them against the cultists, but it is impossible to let them go easily. If you finally seize the opportunity, your reputation will definitely be tarnished.
You have to peel off a layer of skin even if you don't die!
As for the other guests who followed the young master and the Wu brothers, and even some poor scholars who livened up the atmosphere of the reception, they should just ignore it. They can't squeeze out any profit, just scare them, and let the news spread next be beneficial to themselves.
.
After roughly dividing the people present into three groups and treating them in different ways, Gao Qiu happily found that he had made much progress.
I didn't realize it before, why am I so suitable for the Imperial City Division?
The face of the young master's family changed drastically. Seeing the wolf-like Imperial City Division rushing towards them, they did not dare to resist. Wu Shifan regretted it endlessly. Wu Shixia and Wu Shi'an started sobbing directly. The others were silent, shrinking their heads and not daring to answer. The scene was tense.
Really under control.
Until a painful groan suddenly sounded: "Ugh!"
Gao Qiu looked over when he heard the sound, and then discovered with disgust that it was Lady Cui who made the cry.
Her body was tense and her waist was slightly bent, as if she was holding back some kind of pain. In the end, she couldn't hold it back and made a sound of pain.
This painful sound was like a flood breaking through a dam, and the pain that followed was even more uncontrollable. Mrs. Cui couldn't bear it anymore, so she simply fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, and shivered.
Gao Qiu became angry: "Ms. Cui, you just avoided seeing me before, but now you are pretending too much! Before I entered the hall just now, I heard your singing so loud that it could be heard three feet away. Now I'm here.
Now, you are suddenly seriously ill again? Will your illness attack if you are close to me?"
Beads of sweat fell from Lady Cui's forehead in large drops, and she said intermittently: "I...don't...pretend...it really hurts...it's so cold..."
Gao Qiu was too lazy to listen to her sophistry and waved his hand: "Throw this bitch out of here!"
The Imperial City Sluo soldier stepped forward, and as soon as he grabbed Lady Cui with his hand, he retracted like lightning and hissed: "Be warned, this prostitute is really very cold, she doesn't even look like a living person!"
Gao Qiu frowned and walked forward. As soon as he got closer, he felt a cold air permeating Mrs. Cui's body. It was not the cold outside, but an indescribable coldness. He exclaimed: "That's it!"
It’s not like pretending to be sick…”
It was already there without knowing it. Gao Qiu discovered that terrifying black lines appeared on Lady Cui’s exposed skin: “What is this?”
Just when she was about to take a closer look, Lady Cui suddenly raised her head, a look of ferocity appeared between her eyebrows, and she let out a low hiss like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.
Gao Qiu was so frightened that he suddenly took two steps back. Looking at this appearance, the horrific scene of that night suddenly flashed through his mind, and he screamed: "She is the thief of Ming Zunjiao! Quick, take down this thief!"
After Mrs. Cui screamed, her expression changed again, showing confusion and surprise: "I...I'm not..."
At this time, there was another commotion in the courtyard.
Those scholars who originally had great admiration for Lady Cui were surprisingly angry. Some even suppressed their fear of the Imperial City Secretary and spoke out righteously: "You said that the Shaodong family are evil cult thieves, and that Wu Yanei has dealings with thieves. Now you even think about it."
Lady Yue says she is a Mingzun cultist, is it possible that in the eyes of the Imperial City Secretary, our capital is full of Mingzun cultists?"
Gao Qiu was protected by his men. Thinking of what happened that night and not trusting the strength of his men, he simply retreated to Li Yan and shouted: "What do you know? Is she really a traitor to the Ming Zun Cult, or is she the four bishops?"
One of the wise bishops, the absolute top cult leader!"
Li Yan asked: "Better, what happened?"
With this person by his side, Gao Qiu suddenly felt safer: "Master Lin, five days ago, Judge Ding and I destroyed the den of thieves of Ming Zunjiao. Not only did we arrest the internal agents hiding in the Forbidden Army, but we also eliminated them.
The two bishops severely injured his vitality, but Bishop Dali died on the spot, and his body is now hanging in public, while Bishop Wisdom’s body was only a ghost."
Li Yan shouldn't know this, so he asked: "The incarnation of the ghost?"
Gao Qiu stroked his beard and put on a knowledgeable and knowledgeable posture: "I have a cousin who is very obsessed with left-behind people. According to him, this kind of left-behind method is a low-grade way of possessing spirits.
The technique of incarnation is extremely cruel. It can destroy the lives of countless women if it is made into an outer body. And the ghost incarnation is abolished, and the wise bishop loses his magical power. The only advantage of this method is that it does not damage the original body, so
That wise bishop is not dead yet..."
Dong Yunzi: "..."
These words were what Yedong Yunzi told Gongsun Zhao. Gongsun Zhao later told Ding Run, and Ding Run then told Gao Qiu. However, he was worried about Gongsun Zhao's wanted status and told Gao Qiu not to tell others.
Seeing that Ding Run was unwilling to disclose it, Gao Qiu simply blamed his cousin for his past experience. At this moment, he stared at Madam Cui and couldn't help but said: "It seems that I am really the nemesis of Ming Zunjiao. I didn't expect that."
To think that the incarnation of this wise bishop was beheaded and his true body was hidden, but he still fell into my hands after all!"
Li Yandao: "If you want to explain the respected bishop, that night when I and Judge Ding were fighting against the thieves led by Lu Shinang in front of the Kaifeng government office, I also felt that someone was spying on me. After thinking about it, it was probably the thieves... It's just that
Based on these alone, is it a bit far-fetched to conclude that a red-branded lady from Xiaotianshui Lane is the true identity of Bishop Wisdom?"
Gao Qiu explained: "Master Lin doesn't know something. I had contact with Bishop Wisdom's body that night. At that time, the woman had such a cold aura, and there were these black lines on the back of her hands, and she had a windy and moonlike posture.
It really matches everything... When did this thief begin to feel unwell?"
The second half of the sentence was about asking other maids. They didn't want to answer, but they didn't dare not answer. They could only whisper: "Four or five days ago..."
Gao Qiu clapped his hands: "Isn't this correct? No wonder this prostitute didn't dare to see me because she was sick. It turned out to be because she was afraid of exposing her flaws!"
Li Yan said: "But Gao Tidian just said that the most outstanding advantage of the ghost's outer body is that even if the outer body is beheaded, it has no connection with the main body. Why is Lady Cui suffering so much?"
Gao Qiu thought about it and said: "Perhaps it's because I haven't practiced well enough. There are many backlashes from left-field techniques, especially those that are entangled with ghosts. I don't believe it really has nothing to do with the original body. Is this normal now?"
The others listened silently and saw that Gao Qiu was speaking clearly and rationally. Then they saw that the famous prostitute was in pain. It did not look like she was suffering from an ordinary illness. They couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.
What is surprising is that this lady Nianyue, who has recently become famous in the capital, is really Bishop Mingzun? Then they just forcefully invited this woman to come and perform, isn't she walking in front of the gate of hell?
Fortunately, since this person is a real traitor of the Ming Zun Cult, those who have been slandered have a greater chance of escaping.
Wu Shifan hurried forward and bowed again, bending very low: "Congratulations to Gao TiDian for capturing a high-ranking member of the cult and making a great contribution. My younger brother is young and ignorant. I hope that Master Gao TiDian will forgive them!"
The young master also broke away from the pawns restraining him, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Be careful, the previous thank you gift will not be reduced by half. We will thank you again afterwards, and we hope to show your favor. If we really want to make a fuss,
It also hinders Gao Tidian’s interrogation of key criminals, doesn’t it?”
Hearing this, Gao Qiu did hesitate.
He knows very well that only by having power can he make money steadily. Otherwise, just like these chambers of commerce, no matter how powerful the collusion between government and businessmen is, at the critical moment, senior officials will still abandon him without hesitation.
The Houjiang Chamber of Commerce is a piece of fat. If you can eat it, it will be worth far more than 30,000 yuan, and it can also become a guarantee for making money every day in the future. However, this kind of chamber of commerce involves all aspects, and it is indeed difficult to defeat it all at once. You must be the one to do both.
I'm going to fight.
If there was nothing else to do before, I was able to play with the opponent. Now that I have captured the Wisdom Bishop, I should focus on the serious business. It is really difficult to be distracted, so knocking the opponent tens of thousands of dollars seems to be a good choice.
At this moment, Li Yan said calmly: "Since Madam Cui has huge suspicions, the guests who have just come into contact with her in the courtyard should not take it lightly. To be more careful, you might as well bring them into the Imperial City Department first, and after investigation, then
Let’s calculate!”
"That makes sense!"
Gao Qiu's brows widened and he grasped them first. Then he hit them hard with a plank, or he raised his hand and let them go gently. It was up to him to take the initiative: "Take them all away, have a better attitude, and give them some dignity!"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the young master's face quickly darkened, but he did not say any harsh words. He was escorted forward. Wu Shifan let out a long sigh and murmured. Wu Shixia and Wu Shi'an's legs became weak and they were almost exhausted.
Hold it and go out.
Also being lifted up was Lady Cui, who had already passed out.
Seeing that all the dozen or so guests in the courtyard were escorted out, Gao Qiu thought about it carefully and then ordered: "Go and take away all the maids around Cui Nianyue and those who have close contact with her in Fan Tower. These are all
They may be cult thieves, and we won’t let any of them go!”
All the men received the order: "Yes!"
Gao Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief. Thinking of tonight's harvest, he smiled again: "Mr. Lin, do you think there are any omissions in everything I have done?"
Li Yan did not answer whether there was an omission, but smiled and said: "Be wise, you have indeed caught the wise bishop."
