The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

On this side, Xiong Haikuo led his troops to suppress the scene of distributing money and grain.

Looking at the people's joyful expressions, he sneered in his heart, "It's just a trick used by the emperor to win over the people."

But after the people had received their gifts and dispersed, the joyful atmosphere still infected the commander of the five major camps.

"This little emperor is quite capable."

Little did he know that in fact he already had some confidence in the little emperor in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.

After leading the troops back, he hurriedly recorded everything he saw and heard in Jiangnan and what Li Chengfeng had done.

After the secret letter was written, it was sent to the old emperor by carrier pigeon.

After receiving the letter, Emperor Jianwu admired his son's decisiveness in killing.

"It has the style of my old days!"

"But the officialdom in Jiangnan is too complicated. I don't know if this kid can handle it."

"Tell Xiong Haikuo to continue to stay by the little emperor's side. Also, send a few shadow guards to secretly protect him."

"Yes." The shadow guard following the old emperor saluted and retreated.

"Don't let me be disappointed in you, little brat."

Zhenguo Temple.

The fake emperor chanted scriptures with the host and the masters.

Song Weiyu and Xiao Liuzi were dealing with the secret report from Li Chengfeng.

This information is rather scattered and needs to be sorted and organized by her.

Record the more important ones separately, and discard the duplicate or useless ones.

When the two were busy, someone came to announce, "Prime Minister Song has arrived."

"Father, why are you here?"

Song Wei Yu stepped forward and held Song Zelin's arm.

"There's nothing going on at the palace today, so I came to see you and His Majesty."

Hearing this, Song Weiyu handed over the letter on the table and said, "Father, look, this is the news from Jiangnan. I just sorted it out. This evidence should be enough to convict them!"

Looking at his daughter's confident face, Prime Minister Song smiled slightly.

"You did a good job, but this evidence alone is not enough to completely eliminate them."

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. They are greedy and selfish, and will do anything to achieve their goals. They will not easily confess their crimes unless they have no other choice. The entire Jiangnan region will be affected by a single move, and they are not easy to deal with!"

"There's one more thing you have to remember."

The old father looked solemnly at the daughter he had raised, and said earnestly, "You know the truth that when water is too clear, there will be no fish."

"But you not only need to know, you also need to be able to use it. Who in the entire officialdom is not corrupt? You just need to learn to distinguish between those who are actively corrupt and those who are coerced."

"After more than ten years of hard study, it is so difficult to pass the imperial examination."

"Being recognized and promoted by their superiors, entering the prosperous capital, how many people would not be dazzled? How many people would not forget their original aspirations?"

"Yu'er, you won't be able to fully understand these things in a short period of time. The officialdom is treacherous and people's hearts are fickle. You must always remain vigilant."

After hearing these words, Song Wei Yu felt as if she had suddenly realized something.

Interpersonal interactions are inherently complex, not black and white, and there is still a lot I need to learn.

It is such a blessing that my father always wakes me up at critical moments.

"Dad, did you take your medicine on time?"

Taking advantage of this time, Song Wei Yu also wanted to rest her overused brain.

He pulled his father to sit down and handed the teacup to Prime Minister Song.

"I must have taken the medicine on time."

"The current Daqian needs me as a father, so I must take care of my health!"

The father and daughter chatted for a while about family matters, and then Prime Minister Song went back.

After returning to work, Song Wei Yu seemed to be infused with more mental strength.

More wise and calm.

She took the letters and handled them more carefully.

After finishing these tasks, she picked up her pen and wrote a letter to Li Chengfeng.

The letter described more precisely some of the clues she had discovered.

The carrier pigeon flew towards Li Chengfeng with the secret letter.

At this time, Emperor Daqian was listening to the report from the secret guards who were originally sent to follow the people of the Changsheng Sect.

"They went deep into the dense forest on the back of the green mountain, where there was a large cave."

"I guess that's their base."

"I was afraid of being discovered by them if I got too close, so I observed them nearby for a few days and learned their patterns of life. I'm here to report to you now."

Li Chengfeng said: "You did very well."

After saying that, he ordered his servants to call Xiong Haikuo over.

But a moment later Xiong Haikuo arrived.

"Join Your Majesty."

Li Chengfeng looked at him and said, "Get up, the Immortal Cult has also appeared here."

Hearing this, Xiong Haikuo's expression changed. "The Immortality Cult again? They really are haunting us!"

"I order you to lead the troops to wipe them out. My secret guard will lead the way, and you just follow him. This time, the Changsheng Cult has taken away a group of people from Yuxiang County, and you must bring them back safely!"

When he said the last sentence, his tone became much more serious.

"The minister obeys the order."

After saying this, the hidden guard and Xiong Haikuo bowed and took their leave.

……

"Guards of the five battalions, listen to my orders!"

After Xiong Haikuo called the number, the soldiers lined up and obeyed orders.

"Qingshan has discovered the traces of the Changsheng Sect. Come with me and wipe them out!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

These former Northern Frontier soldiers were warlike by nature and hadn't had a proper fight with anyone for such a long time, so they became very excited after hearing this.

The large army set off in a mighty manner.

The secret guard sent a few spies to explore the way. He and Xiong Haikuo walked in front of the army, followed by a small group of cavalry, and behind them was the infantry camp.

Traveling quickly.

When they arrived at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, the hidden guard ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

After resting for a while, they waited until the night deepened and then traveled light into the dense forest.

The hidden guards found the marks left behind and led them silently towards the cave where the Changsheng Sect was located.

After walking for about an incense stick's time, Xiong Haikuo gestured for them to stop.

He picked out a few agile soldiers and asked them to go forward and observe first.

Wait for them to come back and report on the frequency of Changsheng Cult guard changes.

The guard said, "Okay, I'll go in and take a look while they're changing shifts. You guys wait for my news."

As he spoke, he quickly approached the cave.

"It's such a remote place, who would come to check it out? They even ask us to patrol. It's really annoying."

A man on guard was complaining to his companions.

"Who says it isn't true? I've been here for such a long time and no one has come here. I think the people above me are just making a big deal out of nothing."

"Well, there's nothing I can do. If I get caught for not patrolling, I'll get a good beating. I really don't know what's so good about defending this broken cave."

"Just work hard."

Seeing the two men walking away in a nonchalant manner, the hidden guard slipped into the cave.

I saw that the space inside the cave was quite large, with a large altar in the middle, which seemed to be used for their church worship.

There were a few people sleeping in groups around him. He walked past them very lightly and continued walking inside.

Suddenly, he noticed a faint light flashing on one side of the cave wall.

He walked over quickly and found that there was a small hole dug by humans.
