Cypress Boat Floating

Wang Ren was imprisoned in the woodshed, with someone guarding the door and three meals a day delivered on time. At the same time, the other people returned to Lu Ciqiu's study with solemn faces to discuss the next action plan.

"I suspect the so-called 'miracle' is actually a hallucinogenic drug." Ye Jianqing's face was extremely heavy, and her voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. She had a deep aversion and hatred for drugs, because she knew the destructive effects they brought. She never expected that the God's House could actually produce such a drug and use it to harm innocent people.

"This drug not only creates hallucinations, but also makes people feel extremely comfortable and their bodies become strong and powerful when they first start taking it. However, once you start trying it, you can no longer stop. The frequency of use will gradually increase, from once every few days to once a day, or even multiple times a day. Eventually, the entire person will be manipulated by this so-called 'miracle', and the originally beautiful life will be ruined." Ye Jianqing said excitedly.

Her heart was burning with anger. She originally thought that the House of Gods was just an ordinary religious organization in ancient times. At most, they took advantage of the ignorance of the common people to seek profits. But she never expected that they would resort to such despicable means to infringe upon the lives and health of innocent people. This behavior is really intolerable and outrageous!

Lu Ci Qiu spoke in a low voice. In fact, the resentment in his heart was not much less than Ye Jianqing's. However, as the only person with an official background among the people present, he had to take responsibility for this matter. "The most urgent thing is that we need to find out what this so-called 'miracle' is. Find out whether only this apostate in the capital is creating such a thing, or whether the entire Shenling Cult is using this 'miracle' to deceive and manipulate people's minds."

Ye Jianqing agreed, "Let's call the two people at the God's House back later. I'll talk to them about this situation and ask them to be more careful and observe whether the God's House is still associating with those wealthy and powerful people and whether they are letting them continue to take this drug."

Chi Yu asked, "If the Divine Spirit Cult is really using this poison, what are you going to do?"

Lu Ci Qiu glanced at him and said firmly: "We must take action immediately! I will report to the court without hesitation, explain the seriousness of the matter to my father in detail, and implore him to issue an order to eradicate the Shenling Cult. Only through the power of the emperor can this drug be completely destroyed from the root, and we must not let it destroy the foundation of our Da'an!"

Chi Yu then asked: "But how can you be sure that the emperor will listen to your advice? Moreover, how can you be sure that there is no one in the court who is secretly colluding with the God House? Have you ever thought about why this God House in the capital has betrayed the God Spirit Religion, but still dares to do evil in the capital in the name of the God House?"

This acute question has also troubled Ye Jianqing for a long time. She knows that corrupt elements are inevitable in every dynasty, just as there are dirty things in every pond. As the saying goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish." The same is true for Da'an. The waters of the Da'an court can never be completely clear and transparent. Thinking of this, Ye Jianqing frowned and said, "Could it be that there are followers of the God's House in the court?"

Chi Yu explained everything to them in detail one by one without hurrying: "The power of the Divine Spirit Cult in the martial arts world is extremely huge, and its influence has already penetrated every corner. Anyone who dares to betray the Divine Spirit Cult will undoubtedly seek his own death. It will be difficult for him to survive in the martial arts world, and he may even be hunted down endlessly until he dies.

However, when these traitors set foot in the capital, the situation was completely different. The capital was under the feet of the emperor, where the imperial power was supreme. Trying to silence them here was tantamount to challenging the emperor's authority, and they would inevitably face the pursuit and severe punishment from the King of Qin. This traitor was obviously very wise, knowing that if the Shenling Cult wanted to hunt him down in the capital to kill him, they would definitely take secret actions.

Therefore, he cleverly used this opportunity to deliberately make his reputation known to everyone. In this way, if he died unexpectedly, the government would definitely intervene to investigate. By then, no matter who the real murderer was, there would be no chance of escaping. "

Ye Jianqing was indeed smart. Before Chi Yu finished speaking, she had seen through the possible actions that the traitor might take next: "Since survival is a necessary condition, and he has to use the reputation of the King of Qin as a judge on earth to deter those who are chasing him, then he must need more people to support him. Therefore, he is very likely to reach some kind of deal with the dignitaries in the capital. I am afraid that the dignitaries and even some officials in the capital may have already indulged in the so-called "miracle." "

It is not a good thing for court officials to become addicted to drugs. If this happens, it will shake the foundation of Da'an. If the families are also infected with this scourge, their ending may be the same as Zhang Shunbo's - in pursuit of the illusory "miracle", they will do anything, even risk their lives. In this way, these aristocratic families will eventually be conquered by the God's House.

The more Lu Ci Qiu listened, the heavier his expression became. He could fully imagine what kind of chaos Da'an would fall into by then. And he would never tolerate Da'an eventually falling into a miserable state like hell on earth.

Lu Ci Qiu warned solemnly: "We must not let this happen no matter what! First of all, we must control the God's House and never let it have any contact with those people. Then try to obtain the 'miracle' and find out what this so-called miracle is. In short, we have to race against time to control the God's House as soon as possible and never let them continue to harm other innocent people!"

Chi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Jianqing, first see if the two people sent to investigate the shrine can find the miracle. If they really can't find it, tell me and I will try it myself."

Ye Jianqing glanced at him. Although he didn't know what method Chi Yu had, it was undoubtedly a good thing that Chi Yu was willing to help at this moment, so he responded, "Okay."

This sudden news was like a thunderbolt, which indeed accelerated their investigation of the shrine, but also made them feel more urgent.

After Chi Yu and Murong Zhixu left, Lu Ciqiu sat there in a daze, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul. He was struggling with whether he should tell Lu Zhixing about this. On the one hand, he was worried that Lu Zhixing would be hurt if he knew the truth; on the other hand, he knew that it would be difficult for him and a few others to fight against the huge Shenwu organization.

When Ye Jianqing heard his concerns, he jumped up as if struck by lightning, and shouted in disbelief: "What on earth are you thinking about! Your second brother is the chief steward of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple! You actually hid such a serious matter from him? Do you naively think that we can fight against the entire God's House with just a few people? It's just a foolish dream! How can you be so capable? Don't you know what you are doing?"

"Ah?" Lu Ci Qiu was startled by Ye Jianqing's sudden roar, but at the same time, the heavy emotion that had been weighing on his heart also dissipated a little. However, he was still a little hesitant and muttered to himself: "But... if my second brother knew about this, what should I do if he gets hurt?" His eyes were full of worry and contradiction, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Ye Jianqing rolled his eyes at the other person fiercely, his tone full of disdain and ridicule: "Is your second brother made of paper? Please, can you have a little confidence in your second brother! He is much older than you and has much more experience than you. What we have to do now is to obey his command, work hard to investigate the truth of the matter, and at the same time control the victims.

Your second brother is not only rich, powerful, but also has connections. If you need any help or support, he can directly handle it. Moreover, you can't hide this matter from your second brother. Instead of the two of you fighting on your own and wasting time investigating each other, it is better to be honest from the beginning and give him all the clues and evidence you have investigated. In this way, everyone can cooperate better and solve the problem faster. "

Lu Ci Qiu nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Yes, you are absolutely right! I really shouldn't have doubted my second brother. If I had let my second brother investigate this matter thoroughly from the beginning, then perhaps other bad things that might happen later could have been avoided."

Seeing Lu Ciqiu so enlightened, Ye Jianqing smiled with satisfaction. She looked at him with admiration as he left excitedly to find Lu Zhixing, feeling very relieved.

"This young man is really teachable!" Ye Jianqing sighed secretly. Today, Lu Ciqiu has gradually learned to stop wasting time and energy, and has also learned how to make better use of the resources around him. Such growth and progress are gratifying.
