Chapter 1916 The Den (Third Update)
“I don’t know who bought it. I occasionally passed by there. The doors and windows were closed in broad daylight. There were only one or two servants looking after the yard. Big guy. "Everyone feels so weird." Said Mr. Chuan.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes moved, and then she glanced at Mu Zichuan and Luo Fengtang.
“Strike while the iron is hot, go check it out now!” she said.
Mu Zichuan nodded, led the soldiers, and the ship boss led the way, and rushed towards the suburban manor two miles away as quickly as possible.
...
The manor has long been empty.
Finally, a switch button was found on the wall of a woodshed in the backyard of the manor.
Underneath, there is actually a huge basement connected to it.
On the stone wall in the basement, a portrait of Maitreya Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect hangs.
On the ground in the middle of the basement, there is a huge furnace cauldron, and in the furnace cauldron are some unformed elixirs.
There were piles of waste scattered on the ground, and there was a pungent smell of sulfur everywhere.
"It's true!"
Mu Zichuan frowned, "That dog Taoist priest from the Black Lotus Sect just poured these alchemy wastes into the Qingcao River and killed a lot of people. It's really Damn it!"
Luo Fengtang said: "The fire can't be contained. Even though they were hiding, we still discovered it."
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "When we came near the Qingcao River, it is very likely that they got the wind and escaped early."
"These followers of the Black Lotus Sect are really cunning and changeable. We are here today." After destroying such a den, they are still causing harm to the country and the people elsewhere. "
However, this is beyond her personal control, and it is the Emperor of Da Qi who should worry about it.
......
Mu Zichuan went to the palace to face the saint with the captured evidence, while Yang Ruoqing returned to Haitangxuan with Luo Fengtang.
Soon, the Holy Spirit issued an edict and promulgated a series of rectification and aftermath measures.
At this point, the Minamata disease crisis that had plagued the capital for nearly three months has gradually subsided.
......
"This time I sincerely want to treat Qi Xingyun to a meal to thank him for saving Sister Hua."
"And he , I have been asking for this meal many times," Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang with a smile.
"This is good. Shengsheng sent him to leave Beijing again to hunt down the absconding Black Lotus members, and there is no food to eat."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Fengtang was also filled with emotion.
"The restaurant has been booked, and something happened suddenly. We can't be blamed for it," he said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Luo Fengtang said again: "The days are long, so let's pay for this meal first."
Yang Ruoqing said: "I don't like to owe others favors, but I can only do this for now."
"By the way, Tangyazi, we have taken care of everything here. The next step is to solve the problem as soon as possible." "Zhou Xia took it back," she said.
I have been staying in the capital for several days, and I miss the elderly and children at home.
When Zhou Xia was mentioned, the smile on Luo Fengtang's face disappeared without a trace.
“I didn’t want to tell you originally.” He said.
"Actually, I sneaked to the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion alone in the middle of the night yesterday, found her, and talked to her," he said.
"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Have you made it clear to her? This is the last chance. If she doesn't come back with us to pay homage to her father, we will expose her to the old concubine. There are still things to do with her parents back home, so she doesn’t have to pretend to be an orphan every day to win the sympathy of the old lady.”
Luo Fengtang nodded.
"I said it, but it's too late." He said.
“What do you mean?” She was surprised.
Luo Fengtang said: "She is not afraid at all. I suspect that she has told the old concubine about her parents at home." "Huh?"
Yang Ruoqing's pupils shrank. Come on, this Zhou Xia is really scheming and clever, right?
Taking advantage of the old concubine's sympathy, she preconceived the idea.
“No need to guess, she must have made up a life experience with the old concubine that is even more miserable than that of an orphan.”
"My father is an alcoholic, my mother is unruly, my brother is lazy and a bad guy, and the whole family bullies her, beats and scolds her..." she said.
Luo Fengtang said: "That's not all."
"She even threatened us in turn." He said.
“What?”
Yang Ruoqing thought she heard wrongly, “Why is she threatening us?”
Luo Fengtang said: "She warned us not to leave the capital if we look for her again."
"Huh? Haha..."
Yang Ruoqing laughed angrily.
“You, my cousin, seem to be really shameless.”
“In this case, we don’t need to be polite to her.”
Luo Fengtang said: "You can make the decision. As long as we can bring her back, no matter what method is used, I have no objection."
...
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing received the emperor's approval. The imperial edict announced that the two of them would enter the palace together to meet the saint.
"Haha, this is my first time to see the real emperor. I have to open my eyes to see clearly what the emperor looks like and whether he is handsome or not!"
Send off the eunuch who announced the decree. Later, Yang Ruoqing returned to Haitangxuan and was happy.
The entire Haitangxuan people also gathered around her, and they were all excited.
My boss was summoned by the emperor because of his great achievements. From then on, Haitangxuan became famous in the capital. With the emperor's backing, who would dare to provoke him?
The emperor summoned Luo Fengtang in the Jinluan Palace. After giving him a severe reward, he asked the eunuch to take Yang Ruoqing to the imperial study alone.
Probably because she is a country woman, going to the Golden Palace would scare her.
Yang Ruoqing quite appreciated the emperor's heart-warming gesture, although she was never afraid of anything and had seen no matter how big the scene was.
In the Imperial Study Room,
Yang Ruoqing finally saw the legendary ancient emperor.
A handsome old guy with bags under his eyes, a double chin and a beer belly.
My complexion is not very good, and it looks like my kidneys are overdrawn.
However, this man is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair, with a bright pearl on his head.
The aura was suddenly highlighted.
Don’t be angry and have authority. It’s the feeling of someone who has been in power for a long time. When his eyes fall on you, you will feel an invisible pressure that makes you dare not look directly.
However, Yang Ruoqing looked straight at it.
"Bold Mr. Yang, you must not be rude to the Holy One."
Seeing this, the eunuch on the side reminded him in a sharp voice.
When Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses, she realized that she, a modern person, still retained many modern ideas.
Didn’t you think that looking into the emperor’s eyes would be an offense?
She did not look panicked to apologize like others, but curled her lips and smiled and said: "The women of the people are stupid and a little confused."
"Since the Holy One has announced that the women of the people are here, Isn't it just to give women a chance to meet the saint? Would you like to admire His Majesty’s face?”
“His Majesty is so handsome. He is the most handsome guy of this age I have ever seen. I plan to go back to the village and talk to the villagers. Well, why can’t we watch it?”
She asked the eunuch with a surprised look on her face.
