Gong Chaoqun simply couldn’t find any reason not to accept this great gift.
You don’t need to worry about your duties, you can get married easily, and you can work well with both the government and the public. This story is so round and the public is happy to accept it.
In terms of the situation, although it may not have much impact on the entire Maitreya religion, at least the situation in Yangzhou can be contained. Otherwise, when the prefect and the Caobang are full of Maitreya believers, Gong Chaoqun is simply worried that when he wakes up tomorrow, Yangzhou will have changed the king's flag.
, his Gong Chaoqun’s head will be cut off as a sacrifice.
In terms of righteousness, killing barbarians is righteousness.
In fact, this rubbish prefect is not clear about the Maitreya Sect, which makes it very difficult for him to investigate the Maitreya Sect. He has long wanted to kick this bastard to death. It can be said that the death of the prefect is a great gift in itself.
No matter where he looked at it, it was so perfect that he wanted to hold the real murderer in his arms and give him a kiss. He was so considerate in everything he did.
As for finding the real murderer, is the real responsibility?
Anyway, Zhao Changhe will look for it.
Seeing that Gong Chaoqun obviously couldn't refuse this gift, Zhao Changhe smiled and said nothing more. Indeed, everyone would choose this.
There was something he hadn't said in his heart, and he knew it would be useless if he said it: Have you ever thought about why the murderer was so considerate, and what benefit would it have to him to do everything in his power? Just to get away with murder? You are.
Without this arrangement, it would be difficult to find who you are.
Gong Chaoqun's old brand has been reorganized. It's impossible not to think of these. But after weighing it, the benefits are too obvious, so I don't want to worry about other things.
Yue Hongling didn't have any other better ideas. She liked to hear about the Maitreya Cult or the barbarians. As for the real culprit, she would just help Chang He investigate it later. She finally said: "I discovered the Maitreya Cult's stronghold a few days ago.
It’s at Bailian Temple, ten miles east of the city.”
"Sure enough, it is there! I have long suspected that it was blocked by the prefect in every possible way." Gong Chaoqun suddenly said: "Today we will uproot the Yangzhou Maitreya Sect!"
…………
The assassination of the prefect was revealed within an hour.
The prefect’s concubine was discovered by the Demon Suppressor to be a Maitreya sect goddess. Under interrogation, she confessed to using the Maitreya sect’s secret method to control the prefect and absorb the true essence;
And she confessed that under her control and induction, the prefect deliberately used various excuses to act, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and families, and was finally accepted by the Maitreya Sect in order to strengthen Maitreya believers;
All kinds of exploitation, money not only enriched the prefect himself, but also enriched the Maitreya Sect.
——These are true facts.
Even when Ru Yan fell into the world and believed in the Maitreya religion, it all happened during this process.
As soon as the news came out, Yangzhou was in an uproar, and countless Maitreya believers were stunned, including Ruyan who was still receiving guests in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Of course, the dissemination of news is an afterthought, and the prefect’s concubine confessed more than just this.
He also confessed that when he saw that the prefect was showing signs of losing control, Maitreya taught evil, and he colluded with Chili, a barbarian, to assassinate the prefect in his room in the middle of the night.
Of course, this is a temporary compilation, and the logic needs to be scrutinized. However, it is mixed with the previous genuine ones, and no one has thought about the loopholes here. It goes without saying that Gong Chaoqun will also compile additional details when reporting to the court.
In short, it is enough to convince the army commander first.
In this prosperous place, the army has been depleted for a long time, but at least the army has not been penetrated too much by the Maitreya Cult - this is also the main factor why the Maitreya Cult still feels that it is almost in trouble and has not directly rebelled.
No matter how weak an army is, it is still an army. Just having a large number of people is very useful.
The Maitreya Sect has yet to form a militarized organization in the form of a family association. When the army began to raid the entire city to arrest Maitreya believers, the Maitreya Sect was caught off guard and had almost no power to resist.
The remaining energy was divided into hundreds of strong bows and crossbows, and hundreds of elite troops from the Demon Suppressing Division, together with Zhao Changhe, Yue Hongling and others, headed straight for the Bailian Temple ten miles east of the city.
Fa Yuan was a little restless in the temple today.
He knew that the prefect was assassinated and the city was sealed off, but this time the Demon Suppression Division had an extremely tight blockade. The outside world didn't know the details of the assassination, and they didn't know that the prefect died in front of their heavenly daughter's door.
In his mind, this matter was not done by the Maitreya Cult, and it was impossible for all members to evacuate because of this incident. Instead, he was worried that the goddess in the prefect's family would not be discovered by the Demon Suppressor, and he was planning how to rescue her.
There are many other officials in the city who belong to their Maitreya cult, so it shouldn't be a big problem if they can get some people to bring out the innocent goddess.
In Fayuan's heart, assassinating the prefect was nothing short of a bastard. They, Maitreya Cult, spent so much effort to make this prefect one of their own. It didn't take a few years, but he was dead... God knows who was sent by the imperial court.
What kind of person is a prefect who has to spend a long time working hard?
It would be fine if the leader had already taken action. The prefect here would be dead if he died. His fayuan raised his arms and shouted, and the color of the city changed. What kind of prefect is needed? However, the leader has not yet done anything important. Now his fayuan is extremely headache, and Jin is not
Neither does retreating.
Chi Li sat nearby and watched Fa Yuan pacing back and forth, and said coldly: "If you follow my suggestion, the master will either act decisively now and occupy Yangzhou, or evacuate immediately."
It is also true that the Maitreya Cult colluded with the barbarians. After Chili was injured, he was worried about getting into trouble, so he hid not in the prefect's house, but in the Bailian Temple.
Fayuan shook his head and said: "Your Khan has not yet raised his troops, and the leader cannot respond. How can I carry out an incident in Yangzhou alone?"
"Then evacuate. You goddesses are trapped in the magistrate's house. The Demon Suppressor is not a vegetarian. You'd better not have any luck and think you can still pull someone out. You should be prepared for the worst. She has been killed by the Demon Suppressor.
Discover and control.”
"Even if you find out that she is the Maitreya Sect's goddess, you won't have to evacuate, right?"
In fact, Chili did not expect that the people in the Middle-earth were so dirty that they would blame Chili and the Maitreya Cult for the assassination of the prefect, regardless of who the real culprit was. In his heart, this matter had nothing to do with him.
No, the prefect is one of his own, and he will only be able to do it if he dies.
However, the sensitivity brought about by long-term life and death experience made his heart keep beating, and he always felt that something was not good. If he wanted to think about the specific reason, he would not be able to figure it out for a while.
Seeing that Fa Yuan refused to evacuate, Chi Li also knew that there was no way to persuade him, so he stood up directly: "Then let's leave first."
Fayuan was very surprised: "Why is that so?"
Chi Li shook his head: "It's just an intuition. It's like being stared at by wolves on the grassland. I have goosebumps all over my body. If you believe me, master, I'll leave. If you don't believe me, I have no reason. Anyway, we just leave first."
After saying that, he took Batu and others and left quickly.
Less than a moment after he left, there were shouts of killing outside. Hundreds of powerful bows and crossbows surrounded the White Lotus Temple. Elites from the Demon Suppression Division swarmed in. Gong Chaoqun took the lead and kicked open the temple door: "Zhang Banfo, come out and die!"
