Cypress Boat Floating

Lu Ci Qiu's action of eliminating corrupt officials has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the God's House under their surveillance. Those corrupt officials have committed too many evil deeds, and they long for liberation and redemption in their hearts, so they need a god and faith to rely on. The appearance of the God's House just happened to redeem them, and after word of mouth, those who were arrested have more or less some connection with the God's House, and as time goes by, their relationship with the God's House becomes closer and closer.

One party needs the other party's financial support, while the other party needs the other party's spiritual sustenance. The two are interdependent, mutually beneficial, and grow together.

However, now that Lu Ci Qiu's actions had thrown all the evildoers into jail, Shenwu had suddenly lost most of its economic sources. For such greedy people, just losing Lin Fanmao was enough to make them feel heartbroken, not to mention that now they had lost the protection of many high-ranking officials at once, which was an even greater loss.

What Lu Ci Qiu wanted was for them to suffer heavy losses, so he took this opportunity and decisively gave orders to send people to seal off the shrine and arrest all the people in the house.

Since the identities of the people in Shenwu are unclear, and we don't know who is behind them, we might as well seize this opportunity to capture them and put them in jail. After all, the people in the court are in a panic, and no one is stupid enough to speak up for these people at this time. Moreover, he used the excuse that Shenwu was related to corrupt officials who embezzled and accepted bribes. When the emperor was angry, no one dared to risk causing trouble. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only let Lu Ci Qiu take action.

When Lu Ci Qiu went to sweep the shrine, Ye Jianqing accompanied him. When they heard Wan Zhibo and Hu Liusi's report before, they said that the common people respected the goddess very much and willingly gave money to the goddess, which always seemed a bit exaggerated. But they didn't expect that now they were standing here in person and saw the people kneeling in the yard. These people who usually hid away when they saw the soldiers were scared, but now they bravely used their bodies to block the soldiers and stop them from moving forward in order to protect the so-called goddess. It was quite ironic.

Ye Jianqing looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. Lu Ciqiu seemed unusually calm, as if he had already come up with a plan to deal with all this. She asked softly, "Now there are some people blocking the way, and we can't hurt them, what are you going to do?"

Lu Ci Qiu smiled slightly and replied calmly: "The reason why these people believe in the goddess so fanatically is because of the emptiness and helplessness deep in their hearts. When there is no one to turn to, they can only turn to these messy things for help. But if they see the true face of this goddess, knowing that this so-called goddess will not only not help them solve their problems, but will also empty their family assets, and the court is the one who will really help them. Do you think they will still stop it?"

After Lu Ci Qiu said this, Ye Jianqing roughly knew what he was going to do. It seemed that this man had secretly done something without his knowledge.

"The fear that the court has brought to them cannot be eliminated in a short time. If the God House really used the so-called "miracle" on them as we previously speculated, they will only obey their inner desires and may not be rational when they are extremely thirsty for drugs."

"You are right. It is very hard to fight against one's inner desires. But since they came here, they must have something in mind. Some want the safety of their families, and some want themselves to be successful. If at this time, they find out that Shenwu has been deceiving them and poisoned the people they care about the most, then Shenwu will become their enemy."

After hearing this, Ye Jianqing looked at him deeply. She had to say that although she didn't quite understand what Lu Ci Qiu was going to do, Lu Ci Qiu really had become a perfect prince.
