"Is this the case?" Zhao said.

There are people who shout grievances for Yue Fei in a grand manner, is Yue Fei's charm so great?

Qin Hui came out and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the content of these people's recitations and diet, it reminds the minister of an incident twenty years ago. ”

Zhao Gou said, "Oh? What's up? ”

"Twenty years ago, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a large number of Manichaeans appeared, and they behaved strangely, the most typical of which was 'eating vegetables'. Later, they formed gangs and factions, and evolved into the Fangla rebellion, occupying the king, attacking the prefectures and counties, enslaving the people, and doing all kinds of evil! Qin Hui said bitterly.

It turned out to be Manichaeism! Zhao Gou hated them deeply!

Zhao Gou said indignantly: "I once heard the Emperor Taishang say it. If it weren't for Fang La's rebellion and the main force of the imperial army, he would not have been controlled by others in the foreign war in the north, let alone caused the Jingkang tragedy! Manichaeism, demagoguery, must be eradicated! ”

Li Gang said: "Manichaeism was introduced to China from the Tang Dynasty, and for its own development, it constantly absorbed the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism. After hundreds of years of expansion, especially during the Five Dynasties period, the development is particularly prosperous, and now it is estimated that the number of people is probably hundreds of thousands! Any sect is like a double-edged sword, depending on who holds the sword. If the demon takes it, it becomes a demon soldier; If the gods hold it, it becomes an artifact. ”

Zhao Gou looked displeased: "Aiqing wants to protect Manichaeism? ”

"Definitely. What the minister means is that Manichaeism wants to be controlled, and Manichaean demons must be eliminated! Li Gang hurriedly made his position clear.

Li Gang also has a meaning, which is to let the emperor not kill innocents indiscriminately because of this. Most of the Manichaeans were deceived and deceived, but they could still change their ways with the correct education and guidance. Knowing your mistakes can make a difference!

When Zhao Gou heard Li Gang say this, he was satisfied, and he said: "Manichaeism must be strictly abolished; Those who are ignorant or use this to deceive others will be punished! ”

Qin Hui saw that Zhao Gou was so angry, and he had relatives in his heart, and secretly wondered if he would die miserably if he was exposed one day? The best way is to push it all on Yue Fei, take the opportunity to eliminate Manichaeism, and have nothing to do with himself from now on.

"Qin Aiqing, Qin Aiqing......"

Qin Hui heard the emperor call himself twice, and then came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, the minister immediately set about it, and strictly ordered all localities to strictly investigate Manichaeism, and strictly prohibit such heresies from remaining among the people!" ”

"Eliminate evil!" Zhao Gou added.

"The Manichaeans gathered in the capital and openly spoke for Mu Guogong. Please ask the emperor to make it clear, does it need to be strictly investigated? Qin Hui seized the opportunity to ask.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said categorically: "Check!" ”

Han Shizhong didn't say a word before, and at this time he said: "Your Majesty, what if these so-called Manichaeans are pretending to be or are instructed by others? ”

When the officials heard Han Shizhong say this, they nodded one after another. What Han Shizhong said is not unreasonable!

Zhao Gou still has one word: "Check!" ”

Li Gang said: "The minister proposed that Mu Guogong's identity is special, so he can send the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and cooperate with the Criminal Department to verify it!" ”

Li Gang's words made it clear that he didn't trust Qin Hui.

Qin Hui's face darkened after hearing this, so many of you want to exclude me, don't blame me Qin someone for having a chance, and he will not be polite to you!

Zhao Gou thought to himself, Qin Hui investigated the case before, and the result was not convincing to everyone every time, so this time he agreed to let the three departments investigate the case together, so that everyone could see clearly, whether Qin Hui was out of sight, or someone else was out of mind.

"Agreed!" Zhao Gou replied.

Qin Hui's heart tightened, and the emperor agreed!

But fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time. Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see! I, Qin Hui, will definitely let you see is believing, and I will be speechless after seeing it!

Li Gang was very entangled in his heart, whether this matter was related to Yue Fei or someone was making trouble behind his back, it was a blow to Yue Fei and his niece Li Wa, not to mention that Yue Fei was still in prison.

"I hope that the two Shangshu masters of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War can handle this matter impartially for me." Li Gang said in his heart.

This matter is related to the Lord Guogong, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. After the next dynasty, the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War followed Lord Qin Hui, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, to the Mansion of the Duke of Mu directly.

Zeng Biao took the official of the Criminal Department, opened the way first, and arrived at the door of the Mu Guogong Mansion, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, when he saw a Manichaean suspicious element, he would arrest one, and would rather be caught by mistake than let go!

More than 30 suspicious Manichaean elements were all arrested, and they did not resist, and when they were caught, they continued to chant sutras.

The three major departments began to interrogate the Manichaeans on the spot.

Qin Hui first asked, "Are you Manichaeans?" ”

The Manichaean who was asked said: "At the beginning of the Harmony, light and darkness stood against each other, and then the battle between light and darkness was inseparable. Now is the critical moment of the light and dark struggle, so the world is divided and the people are resentful. At the end of the world, light will be separated from darkness, light will envelop light, and darkness will cover darkness......"

"Manichaeans are undoubted!" Qin Hui concluded.

The Shoshu of the Ministry of War asked the Manichaeans, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The messenger of light is imprisoned by darkness, and we come to chant and pray according to the decree of the law, may the darkness fade as soon as possible, and the light will reappear in the world." The Manichaeans answered in one set.

The official Shangshu asked again: "Who is the messenger of light?" ”

The Manichaeans said, "The Lightbringer dwelt here, but now he has been carried away by the darkness, and you will not see him." Only when we finish our prayers will He reappear in the light. ”

Qin Hui looked at the Mu Guo Mansion, where the door was closed, and said to the two Shang Scholars: "Two lords, are these light messengers referred to by the Manichaeans really Mu Guo Gong Yue Fei?" It's unbelievable! ”

The military department Shangshu said: "There must be a hidden story in this matter, it is better to escort these people back to the criminal department first, interrogate them slowly, and maybe reveal the truth." ”

The official said: "This official thinks the same way. "Glamorous e-books

Qin Hui said: "Catch thieves and catch stolen goods, now the opportunity is in front of us, we should enter the house to search." In case Mu Guogong is the messenger of light in their mouths, but because of the delay, the evidence was transferred, can the two adults bear this responsibility in front of the emperor? ”

The two scholars of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials looked at each other, Qin Hui was a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and he couldn't afford this crime.

The official secretary had no choice but to say: "Then ...... According to Lord Qin's meaning. ”

Qin Hui was extremely proud, and greeted Zeng Biao: "Open the door and search for evidence!" ”

Zeng Biao was triumphant, and the time to show his skills had come again. He beckoned the officials around him to follow, and asked the guards to open the door of the mansion and rush in first.

The subordinates in Yue Fei's mansion saw that the servants came in angrily, searched everywhere in various rooms, and hurried to report to Yue Fei's wife Li Wa.

Yue Lei rushed out of the backyard with a wooden stick, trying to find Zeng Biao and his group to theorize, but Li Wa shouted: "Yue Lei, don't be impulsive!" ”

Yue Lei was quite obedient to Li Wa's stepmother, he threw the long stick in his hand on the ground with hatred, and asked Zeng Biao: "This is the Muguo Mansion, who allowed you to be presumptuous here?" ”

"Keep searching!" Zeng Biao beckoned his subordinates to continue the search, stood in front of Yue Lei angrily and said, "The emperor allowed it." ”

At this time, the three Shangshu adults also came in.

Li Wa walked over and asked, "Three adults, what's going on?" ”

The secretary of the military department said embarrassedly: "Madam, you can accommodate it, and the people from the criminal department will leave after the search." ”

Yue Lei shouted, "What is there to search here? ”

Qin Hui said: "There are dozens of Manichaeans outside your mansion for many days, chanting scriptures all day long, saying that they want to be messengers of light...... What's going on? ”

Zeng Biao added: "The lightbringers are imprisoned by the darkness, and they want to let the darkness fade as soon as possible and the light will reappear in the world. ”

"Yes." Qin Hui suddenly realized, as if he had just remembered, "The messenger of light that the Manichaeans refer to is Mu Guogong, General Yue!" ”

Li Wa said: "What Manichaeism, what kind of light messenger, we have never heard of it, how can it be Yue Fei?" ”

Qin Hui said: "Madame, don't worry, you may have been kept in the dark, maybe only General Yue himself knows." ”

"You don't want to spew blood here! My father worked hard for his country, how could it be what you say? Yue Lei shouted.

Zeng Biao stopped in front of Yue Lei and said, "It's okay for a child to have a good blood, but you have to pay attention to politeness, especially in front of adults. ”

At this time, a servant ran over with a piece of something in his hand and said to the three Shangshu adults: "My lord, I found a token!" ”

The two Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials didn't want to take it, but Qin Hui didn't want to take the initiative to take it himself.

The three of them were stalemate for a while, and the military department Shangshu took it and looked at it, a little incomprehensible, and asked, "Mingzun Order, what is it?" ”

Qin Hui said: "It shouldn't be a token in the army, right?" ”

Of course, the military department Shangshu could see that this Ming Zun order was not a command for marching and fighting.

The official department Shangshu analyzed: "The Manichaeans refer to Mu Guogong as a messenger of light, if this Mingzun decree is indeed related to Mu Guogong......"

Yue Lei said: "We have never seen this thing, you searched for it as soon as you searched it, such a coincidence, maybe you put it yourself!" ”

The official innocently said, "We have seen all five of us in the study. ”

"Then you're all in the same boat!" Yue Lei said unceremoniously.

"Presumptuous!" Qin Hui said, "The officials of my criminal department, big and small, have all been accepted by the emperor and the officials, and they have been tested for a long time. When you say this, do you really question the emperor and the officials? ”

Li Wa wondered in her heart, she often went in and out of Yue Fei's study, but she had never seen this thing, where did they find it? She said, "Dare to ask this officer, where did you find this token?" ”

The official said, "It's on the beam." ”

Li Wa secretly screamed that she couldn't see it on the beams.

The military department Shangshu said: "Madam, little boy, don't worry. Whether this token is a national thing, or someone deliberately did it, we will all find out impartially! Do what you need to do, and wait patiently for news. ”

Li Wa has no choice, the other party's three Shangshu adults are here, so they can only hope that they can find out the results as soon as possible impartially and give Yue Fei and himself an explanation.

Li Wa felt sad in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be strong and look calm. She said to the military department: "Please, adults! ”

The military department nodded solemnly.

Li Wa asked again: "Yue Fei, how are you now?" ”

"Don't worry, General Yue has food and drink, but he just changed places to sleep." After Qin Hui finished speaking, he greeted everyone, "Let's go!" After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, if Madam finds any suspicious items or things, she must tell us, maybe it will be helpful to Mu Guogong." ”

Li Wa gritted her teeth and watched the three Shangshu adults leave the mansion with all their subordinates, and the door of the mansion was tightly closed. After there were no outsiders, I finally couldn't help it and cried loudly.

Yue Lei went up and comforted: "Mother, it's okay." It's not fake! ”

Li Wa wiped her tears and said sadly: "Your father is now in prison, and your eldest brother is fighting in the northwest, I am afraid I don't know that the family is no longer the same." It's useless to mother, you and Yue Lin have suffered. ”

Yue Lei said: "Mother, when I grow up, I can also protect you and my brother!" Don't worry, Uncle and Grandpa will definitely help us figure it out! ”

Thinking of Li Gang, Li Wa was a little relieved. I just hope that these muddy days will end soon.
