Chapter 125 Maitreya’s Difficulty
Gong Chaoqun simply couldn’t find any reason not to accept this great gift.
In terms of his duties, he does not need to worry about solving cases, he can easily close the case, and he is easy to work with both the government and the public. The story is so round and the public is happy to accept it.
In terms of the situation, although it may not have much impact on the Maitreya Sect as a whole, at least the situation in Yangzhou can be contained. Otherwise, with the prefecture and Cao Gang being full of Maitreya believers, Gong Chaoqun was simply worried that when he woke up tomorrow, Yangzhou would have changed the king's flag, and Gong Chaoqun's head would be cut off to sacrifice the flag.
In terms of righteousness, killing barbarians is righteousness.
In fact, this **** prefect is not clear about the Maitreya sect, which makes it very difficult for him to investigate the Maitreya sect. He has long wanted to kick this **** to death. It can be said that the death of the prefect is a great gift in itself.
No matter where he looked at it, it was so perfect that he wanted to hold the real murderer in his arms and give him a kiss. He was so thoughtful when committing the crime.
As for finding the real murderer, is the real responsibility?
Anyway, Zhao Changhe will look for it.
Seeing that Gong Chaoqun obviously couldn't refuse this gift, Zhao Changhe smiled and said nothing more. Indeed, everyone would choose this.
There was something he had not said in his mind, and he knew it would be useless if he said it: Have you ever thought about why the murderer was so considerate, and what benefit would it bring to him if he wanted to kill him? Just to get away with murder? Even if you don’t arrange things like this, it will be difficult to find out who you are.
Gong Chaoqun is a veteran of the serious crime team. It is impossible not to think of these. But after weighing it, the benefits are too obvious, so he doesn’t want to worry about other things.
Yue Hongling didn't have any other better ideas. She liked to hear about the Maitreya cult or the barbarians. As for the real culprit, she could help Changhe investigate it afterwards. She finally said: "I recently discovered the stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, which is located at the White Lotus Temple ten miles east of the city."
"It is indeed there! I have suspected it for a long time, but it was blocked by the prefect in every possible way." Gong Chaoqun suddenly said: "Today we will uproot the Yangzhou Maitreya Sect!"
…
The assassination of the prefect was solved within an hour.
The concubine of the prefect was discovered by the Demon Suppressor to be a Maitreya sect goddess. Under interrogation, she confessed that she used the secret method of the Maitreya sect to control the prefect and absorb the true essence;
And confessed that under her control and induction, the prefect deliberately used various excuses to act, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and families, and was finally accepted by the Maitreya Sect in order to strengthen Maitreya believers;
All kinds of exploitation, money not only enriched the prefect himself, but also enriched the Maitreya Sect.
—These are the true facts.
Even when Ru Yan fell into the world and believed in Maitreya, it all happened during this process.
As soon as the news came out, Yangzhou was in an uproar. Countless Maitreya believers were stunned, including Ruyan who was still receiving guests in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Of course, the dissemination of the news is an afterthought, and the prefect’s concubine confessed more than this.
This is of course made up on the fly, and the logic needs to be scrutinized. However, it is mixed with the genuine ones above, and no one has thought about the loopholes here. It goes without saying that Gong Chaoqun would compile additional details when reporting to the court.
In short, it is enough to convince the army commander first.
In this prosperous place, the army has been depleted for a long time. However, at least the army has not been penetrated too much by the Maitreya Cult. This is also the main factor why the Maitreya Cult still feels almost unstoppable and has not directly rebelled.
No matter how weak an army is, it is still an army. The sheer number of people alone is very useful. The Maitreya sect has been organized in homes and has not yet formed a military organization. When the army began to raid the city to arrest Maitreya believers, the Maitreya sect was caught off guard and had almost no power to resist.
In addition, Yu Li divided the hundreds of strong bow crossbars, coupled with hundreds of elites in the magic division, together with Zhao Changhe Yue Yue Hongyu and others, they rushed to the Shili Shilian Temple in the east of the city.
Fa Yuan was a little restless in the temple today.
He knew that the prefect was assassinated and the city was sealed off, but this time the Demon Suppression Division had an extremely tight blockade. The outside world didn't know the details of the assassination, and they didn't know that the prefect died in front of their heavenly maiden's door.
In his mind, this matter was not done by the Maitreya Cult, and it was impossible for all members to evacuate because of this incident. Instead, he was worried that the goddess in the prefect's family would not be discovered by the Demon Suppressor, and he was planning how to rescue her.
There are many other officials in the city who belong to their Maitreya cult, and it shouldn't be a big problem if they can get the innocent goddess out through some connections.
In Fayuan's heart, assassinating the prefect was nothing short of a bastard. They, Maitreya Cult, spent so much effort to turn this prefect into one of their own. It only took a few years before he died... God knows who will be sent by the imperial court next. What kind of person is a prefect, who has to spend a long time working hard?
It's fine if the leader has already taken action. If the prefect here is dead, he will die. His Fayuan just raises his arms and shouts. The color of the city changes. What more prefect is needed? However, the leader's important task has not yet been taken, and now his Fayuan is extremely troubled, neither advancing nor retreating.
Chi Li sat nearby and watched Fa Yuan pacing back and forth, and said coldly: "If you follow my suggestion, the master will either act decisively now and occupy Yangzhou, or evacuate immediately."
It is also true that the Maitreya Sect colluded with the barbarians. After Chili was injured, he was worried about being in trouble, so he hid not in the prefect's mansion, but in the Bailian Temple.
Fayuan shook his head and said: "The Khan has not yet raised his troops, and the leader cannot respond. How can I raise an issue alone in Yangzhou?"
"Then evacuate. You goddesses are trapped in the magistrate's house. The Demon Suppressor is not a vegetarian. You'd better not have any luck and think you can still pull someone out. You should be prepared for the worst. She has been killed by the Demon Suppressor. Discover and control.”
"Even if you find out that she is the goddess of Maitreya, you won't have to evacuate, right?"
In fact, Chili did not expect that the people in China were so dirty. They would blame Chili and the Maitreya Cult for the assassination of the prefect, regardless of who the real culprit was. In his heart, this matter had nothing to do with him. None, the prefect is his own person, and he will only be able to do it if he dies.
But the keenness brought by long-term life and death experience kept his heart beating, and he always felt that something was not good. If he wanted to think about the specific reason, he really couldn't think of it for a while.
Seeing that Fa Yuan refused to evacuate, Chi Li also knew that there was no way to persuade him, so he stood up directly: "Then let's go first."
Fa Yuan was very surprised: "Why is that so?"
Chili shook his head: "It's just intuition. It's like being stared at by wolves on the grassland. Goosebumps all over my body. If you believe it, master, then leave. If you don't believe it, I have no reason. Anyway, we just leave first."
After saying that, he took Batu and others and left quickly.
Less than a moment after he left, there were shouts of killing outside. Hundreds of strong bows and crossbows surrounded the White Lotus Temple. Elites from the Demon Suppression Department swarmed in. Gong Chaoqun took the lead and kicked open the temple door: "Zhang Banfo, come out and die!"
