Cypress Boat Floating

Lu Ciqiu personally delivered the news about the God House to Lu Zhixing, and also told him in detail about their current progress. The purpose of doing so was to allow Lu Zhixing to smoothly follow up on the God House line in the future.

You must know that everything Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing have done now is just a stopgap measure, aimed at conducting an in-depth investigation into the abominable shrine and eradicating it completely. How things will develop in the future will have to be arranged by Lu Zhixing. The two of them will not continue to handle it. They are worried that the future will be the same as what they experienced in the previous life. In the end, if the two of them still go to Beiguan, then Lu Zhixing will still be responsible for the matter of the shrine.

At the same time, Ye Jianqing also summoned back Wan Zhibo and Hu Liusi who were hiding in the God House. On the one hand, he wanted to understand the dynamics of the God House in the past few days and the intelligence they had collected; on the other hand, he wanted to share information with them and re-plan the next action plan.

Wan Zhibo and Hu Liusi moved very quickly. When Ye Jianqing sent the message, within an incense stick of time, the two of them were already standing in the study waiting in a neat row.

"It came so quickly." Ye Jianqing held the freshly made ice jelly in her hand. The weather had been unusually hot these days, and she couldn't forget the cool and refreshing ice jelly, so she took advantage of her free time to make some herself.

"Miss, what do you want to do?" The two of them came to Prince Xian's Mansion and appeared in front of other people, so they naturally called Ye Jianqing according to the rules of Prince Xian's Mansion.

In July, the sun was blazing, and the room was extremely hot, as if one was in a steamer. However, the bowl of so-called ice powder in Ye Jianqing's hand gave people a refreshing and cool feeling. The ice powder was crystal clear, like jelly, dotted with some dried fruits and fresh fruits, and the bowl wall was permeated with crystal water droplets, which was extremely tempting. The two of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva, but the rules in their hearts made them dare not ask for it easily, so they could only secretly take a look and then secretly swallow their saliva.

"Come on, stop talking while standing. It's too hot today. I specially prepared some ice jelly. Let's have a taste to cool down." Ye Jianqing keenly caught the small movements of their throats, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved for them to sit down. Yuqin, who was standing by, understood what he meant and quickly took out two bowls of ice jelly that were exactly the same as the one in Ye Jianqing's hand from the food box and placed them on the table.

After the ice jelly was properly placed, Yuqin tactfully left the room, leaving the space for the three of them to discuss important matters. Her task was completed, and now it was time to enjoy the delicious food. When she thought of the bowl of cool and refreshing ice jelly waiting for her in the room, her steps involuntarily quickened a bit, and a chill surged in her heart, as if the ice jelly had turned into a clear spring, flowing through her heart.

"Let's eat and talk at the same time! Let's talk about what we have gained in the past few days?" Ye Jianqing stirred the bowl of ice jelly unconsciously in his hand, his eyes fell on the two people in front of him, and then he spoke slowly.

Wan Zhibo, as one of the people who had been lurking in the God's House for a long time, spoke first and reported everything he had observed in the God's House to Ye Jianqing in detail: "I have been hiding in the God's House these days, following those believers to worship the so-called goddess. There are no major discoveries at present, but it is worth noting that there are many guards there, who closely watch over the group of worshippers every day. Moreover, each of them shows extraordinary piety to the goddess. If anyone dares to say a disrespectful word about the goddess, he will be condemned by everyone. In addition, many people also swear that they have witnessed the miracles performed by the goddess!"

After Wan Zhibo finished speaking, it was Hu Liusi's turn to speak. Compared to Wan Zhibo, Hu Liusi entered the shrine less frequently. However, with her excellent lightness and hiding skills, she spent most of her time monitoring the shrine's perimeter. Therefore, she could not only observe the movements in the front yard, but also the situation in the back yard. In this way, she naturally saw more scenes than Wan Zhibo.

She carefully reviewed the scenes she had seen in the past few days in her mind, and after making sure that she had not missed anything, she slowly spoke, "I have been guarding outside, and indeed saw quite a few people entering the shrine from the back door. Moreover, each of these people brought a lot of things when they came, and moved them to the backyard one box at a time. However, since there were quite a few experts guarding the backyard, I really didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't see clearly what they were doing in the backyard."

After listening to their stories, Ye Jianqing sat there quietly, unconsciously stroking the soup spoon in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

The people who entered the shrine from the backyard mentioned by Hu Liusi should be the dignitaries who were controlled by the miracle of the shrine. Could it be that the front yard of the shrine was specially used for poor people to worship, while the backyard was used to receive the rich?

It seems that we must find a suitable opportunity to sneak into the backyard to take a look, so as to find out what secrets are hidden in the backyard. If those dignitaries really go into the backyard to enjoy the so-called "miracle", then as long as I also go into the backyard, I may be able to see with my own eyes what the so-called "miracle" is all about.

Ye Jianqing suddenly asked, "Have you seen the faces of those who came in from the back door? Do you know who they are?" Her voice was low and dull, like the thunder before a storm, which made people feel nervous. The two people opposite looked at each other and realized that this matter was very serious. They quickly put down their soup spoons and sat upright, not daring to be negligent.

"Yes, I did." Hu Liu thought for a moment, then answered carefully, "Yesterday, the head of the Lin family went there yesterday."

Ye Jianqing frowned slightly. She didn't know this so-called "Patriarch of the Lin Family". So she asked, "Patriarch of the Lin Family? Who is he?"

Hu Liusi quickly explained, "The current head of the Lin family is Lin Fanmao. The Lin family is our royal merchant, specializing in providing fabrics for the palace. However, I don't know if it's because Lin Fanmao's business skills are not good, or the Lin family's feng shui is not good, their business has never been good. In the past few years, I don't know what means Lin Fanmao used to become a royal merchant. In the past few years, he has done a lot of business under the name of the royal merchant."

As Hu Liusi spoke, he observed Ye Jianqing's expression. Seeing that she didn't have any special reaction, Hu Liusi was slightly relieved.

"Since Lin Fanmao has gone to the God's House, you should keep a close eye on the Lin family these days! See what kind of benefits he got from the God's House that would allow him to be so generous as to send box after box of gold, silver and jewelry to the God's House." Ye Jianqing said to Hu Liusi with a serious expression.

Hu Liusi nodded and responded: "Okay, I understand."

Afterwards, Ye Jianqing turned to look at Wan Zhibo and continued to instruct him, "As for you, you don't have to work as hard as usual these few days. You just need to report for duty every morning. The rest of the time, you will be responsible for keeping an eye on the situation outside. Pay special attention to who enters the shrine and who carries a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in. If you have the chance, you can get closer to see what they are doing inside; but if you really can't get close, don't force yourself, after all, ensuring your own safety is the most important thing!"

Wan Zhibo immediately responded: "Yes, sir!"

After the two answered in unison, they each started to act.

After explaining, Ye Jianqing fell into deep thought. She was thinking over and over whether there were any loopholes in her plan. If she wanted to get into the backyard by giving money to the God's House, it would be a fantasy. After all, this deal was not worthwhile from any angle. What if the God's House really swallowed up her money? However, how to get into the backyard was also a big and thorny problem.

She raised her head and looked at the sky outside. She thought, Lu Ci Qiu went to the Qin Palace to deliver a letter, and he would probably be back soon. Maybe it would be better to wait for him to come back and discuss how to enter the backyard safely. It would be best to find a way to enter smoothly and safely without losing money or hurting anyone.
