Li Yi looked away from Magistrate Liu, his expression slightly thoughtful.
Liu Da nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the servants of Prince Xin's Mansion did hear the words "for the sake of the empress" that the four people once said. All kinds of evidence show that they were responsible for the arson case of Prince Xin's Mansion last night.
.”
Li Yi's eyes moved. Could it be that the Taoist nun came to Kyoto?
Thinking about it carefully, it is impossible. The foundation of the Holy Religion lies in Qi State. Now that Qi State is in chaos and the eldest prince and the third prince are competing for the throne, they should not let go of such an opportunity, let alone come all the way to Jing State.
, and he indeed did not receive any news related to this.
But King Xin, when did you offend that Taoist nun?
This is also impossible to know.
Li Yi knew that there were people from the Holy Cult in Kyoto, but within this organization, there had always been a single line of communication. The lower-level believers had no access to the core secrets, and it was difficult for outsiders to break in. Even with a strict intelligence department, it was difficult for them.
Little is known.
Burning Prince Xin's palace on fire does not rule out the possibility that they wanted to take advantage of the upcoming imperial meeting to make some big news. Prince Xin was just lucky enough to be chosen by them.
In any case, at this time, the government still needs to take strict precautions.
Li Yi looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "Although these people hide their secrets, there are always some clues. If you pay attention to the cases of missing people in the suburbs of Beijing, or the unusual behavior in some villages, you should find something...
"
From Li Yi, I got a lot of news about the holy religion. When Liu Dayou came out of Li's house, he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't tell exactly what he had overlooked.
Although the death of the son of the former minister of the Ministry of Industry and the burning of Prince Hexin's palace were far apart in time, they should have been committed by the same group of people. What was their motive and what was the connection between the two cases - Liu Dayou was confused
Rubbing his swollen head, he realized that only the house in the Prince's Mansion was burned down, and no one was killed. He had to put this matter behind him for the time being. A lot of things had happened in Kyoto this year, and he had to start preparing immediately.
It’s time to report on the work at the court meeting.
Li Yi didn't think much about the Holy Religion.
Their power in Jingguo is limited, and Kyoto is under heavy pressure. After burning Prince Xin's palace, some flaws have been exposed. If they make any more moves, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the court.
What he should be concerned about is the current matter.
Although Zui Mo hasn't entered the house yet, she is already the second... and third mistress of the family. In the past two days, Ruyi has been guiding her to familiarize herself with things at home. Today, she was taken over by the old lady to recognize someone. Ruyi
Accompanying Yi, Miss Liu Er went to Mengli, and he and Ruo Qing were the only two people left at home.
While he was sitting in the yard, Ruoqing brought him a cup of hot tea.
Li Yi thought of something and said: "If you want to go out or go to Goulan these days, I will accompany you. Don't go out alone."
Those people in the Holy Sect are all lunatics, and Li Yi is still a little worried that the Taoist nun will come back and attack the people around him. Although this possibility is very low, he cannot let them take this risk.
Ruo Qing looked at him worriedly and asked, "What happened?"
"The palace of Prince Xin was burned down, and it was the people from the "Holy Religion" who did it. I'm worried that they will do something bad to you."
"Holy religion?" Ruoqing was stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Did they burn the Xinwang Mansion?"
Li Yi nodded and said: "I don't know how King Xin offended their Queen of Heaven and made those believers crazy for revenge, but he also deserves it..."
Ruoqing whispered: "That Queen of Heaven must be very powerful..."
"I don't know if he is powerful in other places, but his kung fu is quite powerful. The power of the Holy Cult should not be underestimated. If he goes up against them, the court will probably have a headache."
Li Yi suddenly remembered that he still had a brand of the Holy Religion here, a brand that was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. If something happened to that Taoist nun one day - thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was best not to get involved with those people.
What connection.
Although that force is indeed huge, everyone who has been brainwashed is like a terrorist. It is uncomfortable to think about being surrounded by these people.
Ruoqing asked tentatively: "What if the court catches the Queen of Heaven?"
"I'm afraid there won't be any good results." Li Yi shook his head and said: "The people in the Holy Religion are cruel and have done a lot of things that have harmed the court. If the court catches their queen, they will definitely not tolerate it.
At that time, I'm afraid there will be a big shock in the world."
That Taoist nun had gathered so much power that even if she said she didn't want to rebel, no one would believe her. There have been many examples of this throughout the ages. Once that time comes, there will definitely be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere.
Ruoqing didn't ask any more questions, smiled and said, "It's very busy in Goulan these days. I want to go and have a look."
Also idle at home, Li Yi stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
After sending Ruoqing to Goulan, Li Yi and the sloppy old man found a quiet place to drink tea, watch the show, and wait for her to finish the matter.
"Miss Wan."
"If the girl is good."
"I've met Miss Ruoqing."
…
As Ruoqing walked along, the actors in the hook bar saluted one after another.
They respect and appreciate her from the bottom of their hearts. It was she who changed the industry and allowed actors like them, who traveled across the state and lived on the streets, to live a good life now.
After she walked into a room, she ordered: "Xiao Qi, go find Xu Zheng and ask him to come over."
"Okay, I'll go now." A girl nodded and walked out of the door.
Xu Zheng is also well-known in Goulan. He was just a beggar at first, doing some cleaning work every day in exchange for porridge. However, because he was serious, hardworking, and not afraid of hardship or tiredness, he was later promoted to work in Goulan.
Many people here know him.
After a while, a young man walked in from the outside, closed the door gently, turned around, suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "I see you, your Majesty!"
Ruo Qing rubbed her brows and said helplessly: "I have said it many times, I am not your empress. You have mistaken me for the wrong person..."
Xu Zheng didn't speak again, but the look of respect on his face became even stronger.
Ruoqing did not argue with him, stood up, looked at him and asked: "Are you... the ones from the Holy Religion?"
"It is the Holy Religion of the Empress!"
She clenched her fists slightly and asked again: "Prince Xin's Mansion..., did you burn it?"
Xu Zheng said solemnly: "If he wants to do harm to the empress, he will be punished!"
Her knuckles were a little white, and her voice trembled slightly, "Then, the son of the Minister of Industry, those people..., also..."
"If you intend to harm your empress, they all deserve to die!"
Ruoqing sat back on the chair feebly, her face turned pale, and she murmured: "I, I am not your queen, you, why are you..."
The young man buried his head deeper and said: "Your Majesty, the government has noticed our existence. Kyoto is no longer safe. For your safety, my subordinates suggest that we leave here early..."
"go out……"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"go out!"
She had always spoken softly and softly, but at this time, she was so decisive and unquestionable.
"I obey!" Xu Zheng said respectfully, without raising his head, he stood up and decisively withdrew.
She stared blankly at the empty room, leaned on the table, and sobbed softly.
"Why me..."
"Why now..."
"I am not, not the Queen of Heaven..."
…
When he saw Ruo Qing again, Li Yi was shocked. He looked into her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you..."
From the look on her face, it was obvious that she had just cried. Since he knew Ruo Qing, he had never seen her shed tears because of anything...
"It's okay. I just read a script. It was so sad that I couldn't help it..." She smiled and shook her head and said, "Let's go home."
"What script..." Li Yi asked in surprise, and suddenly felt a warm and soft touch on his hand. He looked down and subconsciously tightened his grip. He no longer cared about the script, and nodded: "Well, we
