"But there are so many shops on this street. If we check them one by one, we will already alert the enemy." Xinhai looked at the shops on both sides and roughly estimated that there were nearly a hundred shops.

"So we can't investigate this way. I suspect there are indeed some drugs or something like that, but this case has no beginning or end, and there is no evidence. Let's go back to the Dali Temple and check the family of the person who reported the case first to see if there is any consistency." Gu Qingyun roughly memorized the location and name of the store in his mind.

When the two returned to the Dali Temple, everyone else had already left.

Gu Qingyun sighed, "Let's go home first. There's no rush now."

Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, a clerk from the Dali Temple hurried to the marquis's mansion.

"Sir Shaoqing, a strange case happened last night. The door of the Dali Temple was knocked down early in the morning, and many people came to the door to complain about their injustice." The clerk was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his hands and feet were shaking as he spoke.

"Tell me slowly, what's wrong?" Gu Qingyun asked the maid to pour a glass of water for the clerk, hoping to calm him down.

But the clerk refused to take the water and was very anxious. "Master Shaoqing, please come with me to take a look. No one else in the Dali Temple has such a backbone. I am afraid that the clerks guarding the gate cannot handle it."

Gu Qingyun picked him up and jumped onto the wall. She took two steps at a time and ran towards the Dali Temple. In fact, she was also confused at the moment.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, I was shocked by the scene before me.

Many men and women were seen in disheveled clothes, all sitting down at the gate of Dali Temple, and their sobbing could be heard throughout the alley.

"I didn't do anything to him. It's unfair, it's unfair."

"We are all good citizens. We have not done anything unscrupulous."

"Dali Temple, give us justice!"

Gu Qingyun put the clerk down and opened the door. "What's the matter, everyone? If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, countless people clung to his hands and feet. They seemed to have used up all their strength to pull Gu Qingyun tight.

"You are the Shaoqing, right? You must be the Shaoqing. Please save me, please save me!" A man pulled Gu Qingyun's collar with all his strength. Gu Qingyun felt that his collar was about to be torn off.

"What happened? You have to tell me first before I can save you." Gu Qingyun tried his best to stand up straight and spoke calmly.

"Sir Shaoqing, we are wronged. We have not done anything against our conscience. Please save us." A woman also wrapped her hands and feet around Gu Qingyun's collar.

Gu Qingyun felt so overwhelmed that he could hardly stand. "Ladies and gentlemen, you have to tell me what happened instead of asking me to help you all the time. If you don't tell me, how can I know how to help you?" This time, Gu Qingyun's voice was a little louder.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

A young man stepped forward and said, "Sir Shaoqing, please forgive our recklessness. Last night we were holding an initiation ceremony in the Tianshi Sect. The old Tianshi appointed us as inner courtyard disciples and said that as long as we paid more membership fees, he could help our families get rid of the troubles of illness. After he collected the fees one by one, he was going to perform the Tongtian Rope, which is a famous spell of the Tianshi Sect. Everyone was looking forward to it. Who knew that the old Tianshi had just stepped on the Tongtian Rope and had not disappeared from our sight when he fell down with a snap and broke into pieces. Everyone present was shocked. Many people said that the old Tianshi's magic power had failed, and the direct disciples of the Tianshi Sect rushed out regardless, saying that some of us had horoscopes that were incompatible with the old Tianshi and killed him, and they wanted us to pay for our lives. We refused, so they would not let us go. It was our collective effort that allowed us to escape, otherwise I am afraid we would have been killed by the direct disciples now."

Gu Qingyun just felt his scalp tingling. He originally thought that the Tianshi Sect would not be able to make any progress and was just performing some street acrobatics, but he didn't expect it to have escalated to such a level.

"I understand. Please wait for a moment." After saying this, Gu Qingyun turned around and went back to the courtyard. This matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to handle the case.

The Tongtian Lock is a martial arts acrobatics skill that has been around for hundreds of years. Although the Dali Temple is not clear about how this acrobatics is performed specifically, according to the records in the Dali Temple, this acrobatics is relatively difficult to practice, so it is not widely circulated among the people.

In every dynasty, there were sorcerers who used this skill to cheat people out of money. The Tianshi Sect also gained a lot of believers by relying on these acrobatics and some supernatural remarks.

How did this person die? Let's not discuss it for now.

But their requirement for so-called believers is not very scientific and reasonable.

But the difficulty of this case lies here. The believers signed an agreement when they joined the sect. The agreement is hundreds of pages long, and many ordinary people can't even read, let alone recognize the hundreds of pages of large characters. After signing, they can be considered to have done all these voluntary things.

One child went missing, and now there's a case involving the Tianshi Cult. Gu Qingyun already feels that he won't be able to sleep well for the next month.

When Zhao Huaiqing and others came to work, they happily bought breakfast at Kyoto Restaurant, and after turning into the alley, they just wanted to look back.

What the hell is going on here?

Those people refused to leave. Seeing that Zhao Huaiqing and the others were wearing clothes similar to Gu Shaoqing's, the scene in the morning was repeated again.

"We are innocent. Please save us. We dare not go anywhere."

Zhao Huaiqing was confused and couldn't move forward.

When Wu Huan and Xin Hai saw this scene, they quietly went out the back door, leaving Zhao Huaiqing in the front yard with tears and snot.

"Shaoqing, what's going on?" Xinhai asked.

"These people are all victims of the Tianshi Sect. The old Tianshi passed away last night." Gu Qingyun replied as he flipped through the files.

"The old Heavenly Master is gone?" Wu Huan also felt a little strange. The Heavenly Master Cult has been rampant recently, and it stands to reason that the old Heavenly Master should be well protected.

Could it be some internal struggle again?

"Yes, he was performing the rope dance and he fell down." Gu Qingyun handed the file he had written in the morning to the two of them.

In fact, there was nothing written in the file. After all, the people standing at the door were just ordinary people who could only cry out for injustice, and Gu Qingyun didn't know what had happened.

"Okay, since you are here, let's go to the Tianshi Sect." Gu Qingyun stood up.

A few people walked to the door and rescued Zhao Huaiqing. Gu Qingyun pulled open the curtain and shouted to the people outside, "Don't worry, everyone. We will definitely find out everything. You can go back to your homes first."

But who knows, these words have no meaning at all.

The people outside just nodded, and stayed at the gate of Dali Temple, either sitting or standing, unwilling to leave.

Most of them knew their addresses from the Tianshi Sect, and they would be taken away by the Tianshi Sect if they returned home, so they refused to leave.
