Special means in special times. The capital is now in such a special period, so Gu Cheng has something to rely on, no matter how unscrupulous he is, it doesn't matter.
The old Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple is the master of the branch temple in the capital. Although his strength is not top-notch in Baiyun Temple, he is sophisticated and tactful, which is most suitable for use in a complex place like the capital.
Just now he saw Wang Maoxing attacking Gu Cheng so recklessly, and he immediately felt that something was going to happen to him.
At this time, if he wanted to take someone by force, even if he hurt Gu Cheng and snatched the person away, Gu Cheng would definitely give them a big hat.
Although the imperial court would not really think that Baiyunguan would be so stupid as to collude with the Maitreya Cult, such a thing would definitely affect the reputation of Baiyunguan.
So the old Taoist priest hurriedly stopped the two of them. When faced with Gu Cheng's questioning, he even said with a warm smile: "Master Gu is joking. I, Baiyunguan, guard the capital, and the masters of the temple have been great officials for generations." How could the Imperial Preceptor be in collusion with the Maitreya Cult?"
Gu Zheng from behind saw the old Taoist priest coming, and he shouted as if he was seeing a savior: "Uncle, save me! Save me!"
When Wang Maoxing came before, he didn't have such a strong desire to survive, because Wang Maoxing didn't save Guo Feng from Gu Cheng last time. In his eyes, Gu Cheng was too strong, even as strong as a grandmaster. He's invincible.
But right now, this person is the patron of his Baiyun Temple in Beijing. He is extremely powerful in terms of strength and status. He doesn't believe that Gu Cheng will not back down in front of such a person!
The old Taoist priest glared at Gu Zheng fiercely.
It was because of their father and son that Baiyun Temple fell into such a passive situation!
Although Baiyunguan supports the third prince, the correct approach should be like Wang Maoxing. Although he supports the third prince, he maintains a detached attitude and does not have too much involvement with the other party. Only in this way can he be able to fight at critical moments. Pull back.
Gu Zheng and his son have obviously gotten involved too much, and now they are stuck in it and cannot get out.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, Gu Cheng said calmly: "There are some things that you Baiyunguan says don't count, only the court says.
Today I came to arrest the demonic monks from the Maitreya Sect, and they colluded with these demonic monks. Do you think they are not suspicious?"
As he spoke, Gu Cheng also made a distressed look and said: "Gu Yuanzhong is my second uncle, and Gu Zheng is also my younger brother. They are both my blood brothers. But for the safety of the capital and the people of the capital, I He had no choice but to exterminate his relatives and bring them back to Jingye Division for interrogation.
Public is public, private is private, even a junior like me knows this truth. Is it possible that a Taoist priest from a Taoist sect like Baiyunguan, which has been passed down for more than a thousand years, doesn't know this?"
Gu Cheng's behavior made the old Taoist priest's face darken. He had never seen a guy like Gu Cheng who was so unsophisticated!
"Master Gu, is there really no room for negotiation at this time?"
Gu Cheng shook his head firmly and said: "We can't discuss it! It involves the dignity of the state and the safety of the people. How do you want me to discuss it?"
We are currently in an extraordinary period, and Gu Cheng often uses Da Gan to talk things out with the people, which makes him itch with hatred.
Heaving a sigh of relief, the old Taoist priest said solemnly: "Master Gu said it well!
Since Mr. Gu has the decisiveness and courage to kill relatives for justice, I, Baiyun Guan, will naturally be good too.
Gu Zheng behaved badly and had no connection with the demons of the Maitreya Cult. From then on, he was expelled from Baiyun Temple and has nothing to do with me, Baiyun Temple!"
As soon as he said this, Gu Zheng stood there in a daze, with a look of disbelief on his face, and was speechless.
Wang Maoxing on the side also wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old Taoist priest.
It's not that he really wanted to save Gu Zheng, but by doing this in Baiyunguan, it was equivalent to giving in in front of Gu Cheng, which felt a bit too embarrassing.
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The Taoist priests and strong men cut off their wrists. I admire you."
"Walk!"
The old Taoist priest had a gloomy face and pulled Wang Maoxing directly out of the door.
After leaving the house, Wang Maoxing said in confusion: "Uncle Master, why didn't you take away Gu Zheng more forcefully just now? Once this incident comes out, our Baiyung Temple will be embarrassed, and even the disciples in the temple will criticize it.
He said that I, Baiyun Temple, could not protect my disciples."
The old Taoist priest hummed: "Do you mean that I don't want to keep Gu Zheng? That's because I can't!
Gu Cheng is nothing, but you have to look at the current situation of Baiyun Temple."
Wang Maoxing said in confusion: "My Baiyun Temple is now strong and powerful. Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem, and it's a big problem!"
The old Taoist priest sighed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't trust us anymore.
This time, Your Majesty only discussed the matter of Maitreya Sect with the Taixuan Taoist Sect, but did not let me, the Baiyun Temple, intervene. One can imagine how different the statuses of our Baiyun Temple and the Taixuan Taoist Sect are in Your Majesty's eyes.
Of course, Baiyun Temple is also helpless. Since the rise of Taixuan Dao Sect, they have suffered losses and prosperity with Da Gan, so they dare to entrust everything to Da Gan.
There are constant internal fights among the five great sects. Although Buddhism has been suppressed for hundreds of years, it has eased up in the past hundred years. Especially the man from Jialan Temple, whose vision and skills are really beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
If Buddhism continues to interfere in this way, our life at Baiyun Temple will probably become even more difficult.
The matter this time was too sensitive. Even though I knew that Gu Cheng was making excuses, I had no other way to deal with it.
A Guzheng is not worth the high price I, Baiyunguan, have to pay for him, so I have no choice but to sacrifice him this time.
At this critical moment, even if I, Baiyun Guan, cannot make contributions and gain some benefits, I cannot be involved in it."
Wang Maoxing frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
As the most outstanding disciple in Baiyun Temple, he actually does not participate in such things.
It's not that he is not qualified to participate, but that in his view, his own realm power is everything, and he does not have the necessity and value to participate in these things.
But now it seems that he needs to change his mind.
Gu Cheng didn't care about Baiyunguan's thoughts, because theoretically speaking, he had already had a grudge against Baiyunguan before he came to the capital.
When he was killing Governor Hong, an old Taoist priest from Baiyunguan came to intercept him, but Gu Cheng didn't give him any face and killed him directly.
But at that time, he was still unknown, and I'm afraid those old Taoist priests had forgotten who he was.
After bringing everyone back to Jingyesi, Gu Cheng threw them directly to the Torture Department, the department where Gu Cheng was preparing to take up the post.
For some major matters involving the imperial court, or more difficult cases within the Jingyesi Division, the Torture Division is responsible for interrogation, torture, etc.
At the same time, Gu Cheng also sent people to wait for the fourth prince at the entrance of the imperial city, tell him the news, and let him prepare to add insult to injury.
Regarding the demons of the Maitreya Cult, the news was transmitted very quickly. The Torture Department didn't care about all the mess. Gu Cheng had enough evidence to prove that Du'e Tutuo was indeed related to the Maitreya Cult. Although most of them were
Gu Cheng made it up, but where does the Torture Department have so much control?
As long as the reason Gu Cheng fabricated is reasonable, the Torture Division will immediately enter it into the file as evidence to be presented in court.
After all, Gu Cheng is one of Jingyesi's own. If you don't believe the words of a commander of the Eastern Territory, you have to investigate those who are and are not. Unless the commander of the torture department has a grudge against Gu Cheng, and it is a big grudge, otherwise he is
Won't do that.
As for the other people under the third prince's command, the people in the Interrogation Department only asked one question: Do you know that the master who crossed Edutuo is from the Maitreya sect?
As long as you know the answer, you will be regarded as an ally.
If you don’t know the answer, then give me a beating first and then ask, Torture Division, Torture Division, the word “punishment” is very important.
Although the method of the Torture Division is a bit simple and crude, this is what the Torture Division has always done when it comes to matters like this.
Anyway, no one involved in this kind of thing is innocent, and even if they are killed first and then tried, they will not be wronged.
So the Torture Division is actually used most of the time for torture and interrogation of confidential information.
Gu Cheng was slightly startled when he heard what the Torture Division was doing. The Torture Division was really very simple and crude in what they did.
Fortunately, he did not choose the Torture Division, otherwise he would have been easily infected with a psychopath in that environment.
It only took one day for the Interrogation Department to record all the confession files and submit them to the court. Someone would naturally report these things to the court the next day.
After the ancestor worship ceremony was abandoned halfway, there had been no rest in the court for two days.
Regarding the affairs of Maitreya Cult in the capital, how to deal with Maitreya Cult in the future, how to exterminate it, and the details of reorganizing the ancestor worship ceremony, these all need to be discussed carefully.
At this time, the Grand Governor of Jingyesi, Ye Wuzhao, was still outside chasing the remnants of the Maitreya Sect, and they had already chased them out of the capital.
The people of the Maitreya Sect are indeed in dire straits this time. It is said that the top leaders of the Maitreya Sect were one leader, three deputy leaders, and four guardian Dharma Kings.
As a result, one deputy leader died before, another one died this time, and three of the Dharma Protectors died directly.
In the capital, only one deputy leader and one protective Dharma king were lucky enough to use desperate secret techniques to escape. However, their vitality must have been seriously injured, and there was even a pursuit behind them. Can they return to the Maitreya Cult alive?
Not necessarily yet.
At this time, after everyone had finished discussing the matter of reorganizing the ancestor worship ceremony, Duan Jingang, who was speaking on behalf of Ye Wuzhao in the church hall, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, news has been sent from Siyu Jingyesi. In the past two days,
A total of more than a hundred demons from the Maitreya Cult have been captured, but there should still be 10% hiding in the capital. This needs to be investigated slowly.
But there is one more thing that needs to be reported to Your Majesty. There is a demon from the Maitreya Cult who is related to the third prince, and he is the third prince’s confidant!"
