Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 125: The Difficulty of Maitreya
Chapter 125 The Difficulty of Maitreya
Gong Chaoqun simply couldn’t find any reason not to accept this great gift.
You don’t need to worry about your duties, you can get married easily, and you can work well with both the government and the public. This 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 Cult, which makes it very difficult for him to investigate the Maitreya Cult. He has long wanted to kick this **** to death. It can be said that the death of the prefect is itself It's a great gift.
No matter where he looked at it, it was so perfect that he wanted to hold the real murderer in his arms and give her a kiss. He was so considerate in everything he did.
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 heart, and he knew it would be of no use if he said it: Have you ever thought about why the murderer was so considerate, and what benefit would it have to him if the agency did not do it? 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’s veteran team has been reorganized. It’s impossible not to think of these things. But after weighing them, the benefits are too obvious, so I don’t want to worry about anything else.
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 would just help Chang He investigate it afterwards. She finally said: "I recently discovered the stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, which is located at the Bailian 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 revealed within an hour.
The prefect’s concubine was discovered by the Demon Suppressor to be a goddess of the Maitreya Cult. Under interrogation, she confessed to using the secret method of the Maitreya Cult to control the prefect and absorb the true energy;
And she 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 were finally accepted by the Maitreya Sect in order to strengthen Maitreya believers;
With all kinds of exploitation, the money not only enriched the prefect himself, but also enriched the Maitreya Sect.
——These are true facts.
Even when Ru Yan fell into the world and believed in the Maitreya religion, it all happened during this process.
As soon as the news came out, Yangzhou was in an uproar, and countless Maitreya believers were stunned, including Ruyan who was still receiving guests in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Of course, the spread of the news is an afterthought. The prefect’s concubine confessed more than this.
He also confessed that seeing the prefect showing signs of being out of control, Maitreya taught evil to Bian Bian, colluded with the barbarian Chili, and assassinated the prefect in his room in the middle of the night.
Of course, this was just made up on the fly, and the logic needs to be scrutinized. However, it is mixed with the genuine products 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 a 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. Just having more people is very useful.
The Maitreya Sect has yet to form a militarized organization in the form of a home-based association. When the army began to raid the entire city to arrest Maitreya believers, the Maitreya Sect was caught off guard and had almost no power to resist.
The remaining energy was divided into hundreds of strong bows and crossbows, and hundreds of elite troops from the Demon Suppressing Division, together with Zhao Changhe, Yue Hongling and others, headed straight for the White Lotus Temple ten miles 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 did not know the details of the assassination, nor did they know that the prefect died in front of their goddess.
In his mind, this matter was not done by their Maitreya Cult. 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, so it shouldn't be a big problem to have people bring out the innocent goddess.
In Fayuan's heart, assassinating the prefect is simply a bastard. They Maitreya Cult spent so much effort to turn this prefect into one of their own. They haven't even had a good time for a few years. He is dead... God knows what the imperial court sent. Who will be the next prefect who comes, and who will have to work hard for a long time?
It would be fine if the leader had already caused trouble. The prefect here would be dead if he died. His Fa Yuan raised his arms and shouted, and the color of the city changed. What more prefect was 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 Cult 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.
Fa Yuan shook his head and said: "Your Khan has not raised his troops yet, and the leader cannot respond. How can I carry out an incident in Yangzhou alone?"
"Then evacuate. You goddesses are trapped in the prefect's mansion. The Demon-Suppressing Secretary is not a vegetarian. You'd better not have any luck and think you can still pull her out. You should be prepared for the worst. She has been captured. The Demon Suppressor discovered and controlled it."
"Even if you find out that she is the goddess of Maitreya, you won't have to evacuate, right?"
Actually, Chili didn’t expect that the people in Central-Earth were so dirty. They would blame him and blame Chili and the Maitreya Cult for the assassination of the prefect, regardless of who the real culprit was. In his heart, this matter was the same as his. The copper plate has nothing to do with it. 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 wrong. If he wanted to think about the specific reason, he really couldn't think of it for a while.
Seeing that Fa Yuan did not believe in evacuating, Chi Li also knew that there was no way to persuade him, so he stood up directly: "Then let's leave 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, I'll leave. If you don't believe it, I have no reason. Anyway, we just leave first."
After that, he took Batu and others and left quickly.
Less than a moment after he left, there were shouts of killing outside. Hundreds of powerful 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! ”
