Upstairs in Nancheng, Qiu Gubo frowned and watched, recalling the conversation between himself and Cai Qianqing the day before yesterday-

"Why do you want to use the name of Hua Tuo, the god of medicine?" After listening to what Cai Qianqing said, Qiu Gubo asked puzzledly.

Cai Qianqing asked rhetorically: "Why does the Poseidon Sect want to borrow the name of the Poseidon?" ”

Qiu Gubo said without thinking: "Yongcheng is close to the sea, most of the people live on the sea, and they worship the god of the sea on weekdays. ”

"The sea god does not have a fixed image in the legend of Yongcheng, like the sea, so the sea god will use the new clay to sculpt the human figure, but do not depict its specific image, hide the person in the clay statue in advance, but also hide a person on the roof, put a drum, disguise the drum as thunder, and also use the drum as the trumpet, when the drum sounds, the so-called sea god will break through the mud statue and walk down the platform, in order to shock the hearing and vision of believers." Cai Qianqing explained in detail, "But this alone is not enough to make believers fully believe, so they burn hemp in the incense burner, and believers inhale the smoke of hemp, which will produce hallucinations, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort, but all cults, without exception, will use this kind of illusion, just like in the prison, Sun San arranged for Wei Qiming to use seamary in the cell is a reason." ”

"Oh, I see." Qiu Gubo asked again, "What is that hemp?" ”

Cai Qianqing took out some dried leaves from his waist: "A plant that produces smoke after incineration, when inhaled by humans and animals, produces hallucinations and is accompanied by a sense of pleasure, and its effect is similar to that of opium. ”

"So you used poison?" Qiu Gubo nodded, "But how can the Seagod Sect be able to cure patients on the spot?" ”

"It's simpler, prepare the patient who has already taken the medicine in advance, calculate the time when the patient is about to wake up, and then lift it up and put it in front of the believer's eyes, to put it bluntly, but any patient that can be seen by the believer is a nursery that has been prepared in advance, which is the same method used by street scammers." Cai Qianqing said, rolled up her sleeves and raised her right hand, "Next, let me show you how the Seagod Sect grabbed the so-called Blood Worm Plague God from the human body, and you leave your clothes open." ”

Qiu Gubo hesitated, but still opened the clothes on his chest, and the moment he opened it, Cai Qianqing suddenly reached out and inserted it.

The moment Cai Qianqing's fingertips touched his chest, he did feel some pain, but soon the pain disappeared, and he also felt Cai Qianqing's fingers bent, but when he looked down, he found that there was a large amount of blood flowing out of his chest.

At this time, Cai Qianqing stretched out his left hand, opened his five fingers and pressed Qiu Gubo's chest, and shouted, and then his hands were out of his chest, but there was an extra bloody insect in his hand.

Qiu Gubo was dumbfounded, and quickly took the towel on the table to wipe the blood off his chest, but found that there was no wound on his chest.

Cai Qianqing said coldly: "You should feel that the moment my right hand is inserted into your chest, the fingertips of the front section are bent, doing this, firstly, to squeeze through the blood bag hidden in the palm, and secondly, to let others look at it from a special angle, as if the fingertips have pierced into the chest, and then I will hold down the chest with the left hand that hides the so-called blood worm plague god, smear it with blood, and then pretend to take it out with all my might, so that the so-called ritual of driving away the plague god will be completed." ”

Qiu Gubo smiled bitterly: "Isn't this just a trick?" ”

"That's right, that's tricks. The so-called magic tricks of the cult are exactly the same as the tricks of the cult, and the essence lies in how to flexibly use the trick of blinding, and as long as they practice diligently, anyone can learn it. After Cai Qianqing finished speaking, he threw the blood worm on the table, lifted the teapot, poured water on the pot, and washed the blood on the blood worm, "Look at it again, what is this." ”

Qiu Gubo recognized the thing before he could get closer, and said with a smile: "Sea cucumber? ”

Cai Qianqing picked up a towel and wiped his hands: "Yes, the sea god and the sea cucumber are almost the same sound, if the matter is defeated and it is found to be a sea cucumber, you can also tell the believers that in fact, the sea god's doppelganger is the sea cucumber, the sea god has defeated the plague god, devouring the plague god and imprisoning it in the doppelganger, so that you can lie after the defeat." ”

Qiu Gubo suddenly realized: "Mr. wants to pretend to be in the name of Hua Tuo, the same as the Poseidon Sect pretending to be the Poseidon, the Poseidon is known to everyone in Yongcheng, and the name of Hua Tuo is known to the world, even the children know." ”

"Yes, but that's not enough, you need to send someone to lurk among the onlookers, and wait for me to appear, and then wait for the opportunity to say that I am Hua Tuo, the god of medicine." Cai Qianqing said and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Gubo, "I have written everything I want to say, you find someone to memorize it, and then distribute it under the four city towers in the east, west, south and north, waiting for the people to watch, waiting for the opportunity to mix, after I and the three doppelgangers appeared in the clouds, I spread this remark, this is the third step of the strategy." ”

Qiu Gubo roughly skimmed through the contents of the paper, carefully put it away, and asked, "What about the fourth step?" ”

After Cai Qianqing took a sip of water, he put down the cup: "The fourth step is still to use the speech as a weapon, but it must be carried out at the same time as when I am doing it on the stage, you need to send people to spread it in the bustling and lively place in the city, and the main point of the speech is 'Fu Dashuai invited the mage to exorcise and cure the disease without charging a penny, why does the Poseidon Sect ask believers to pay tribute', remember, it must be spread in a discussion situation, in groups of three or five, loudly discussing." ”

Qiu Gubo was puzzled: "Discussion? ”

Cai Qianqing nodded: "Discussion and discussion all represent doubts, not affirmations, let alone accusations." Because at this time, the accusation will make people suspicious, the people are not stupid, but they are definitely not smart, after all, they have been bewitched by the cult, the accusation will only make them biased towards the Poseidon Cult, but the discussion will make them think, judge for themselves and have doubts, this is the public mouth, people often say to be cautious in words and deeds, gossip can often put people to death, among the conspiracy, there is a plan that is the simplest, but also more vicious, that is, public opinion kills. ”

Qiu Gubo took a firm note: "Sir, what about the next fifth step?" ”

Cai Qianqing said: "Like the Poseidon Sect, the patients who have been treated in advance are lifted, but we can't play tricks, after all, we play Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo is not a god, we don't use spells, we use medical skills, so our treatment method must be to take medicine, so that the people can understand step by step that they should find a doctor when they are sick, not ask God, and then the sixth and most critical step......

Qiu Gubo asked, "What is the sixth step?" Why didn't you say it, sir? ”

Cai Qianqing hesitated, but said: "Summoning the people of the world at night, drinking and drinking, the people of the world are heartbroken, vomiting several liters of blood, and the king of Huai'an will return to the West Palace." On the Xingxi Palace, the people were sick, and the edict was built to say, "The King of Qin can't drink, and he has no night to drink." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Gubo hesitated and said: "This is the reason for the change of Xuanwumen recorded in the Tang Chronicle of "Zizhi Tongjian", why did Mr. say this?" ”

Cai Qianqing asked: "Qiu Detective, if this is a mysterious case, who do you think the murderer is?" What is the purpose? ”

Qiu Gubo was very puzzled, but said honestly: "Li Jiancheng is worried about being replaced by Li Shimin, so he wants to get rid of him quickly, this is a well-known thing, but Li Jiancheng has many strategists around him, and he will not be stupid enough to let him poison and murder Li Shimin when he is feasting, and besides, even if he is murdered, Li Shimin will be killed on the spot, how can he just vomit several liters of blood due to heartache?" Even if Li Jiancheng really did this, he would inevitably adopt the same method as Li Shimin later, that is, to capture and kill on the one hand, and force the palace on the other, but the fact is that he didn't do that, so how could he do such a stupid thing? Once the matter spreads, it will definitely be dissatisfied with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and before he ascended the throne, he has already committed the act of a tyrant, and he cannot keep the position of crown prince. ”

Cai Qianqing nodded and said, "So what?" ”

Qiu Gubo said: "So, I think that this matter is Li Shimin's framing of Li Jiancheng, and he knows that Li Jiancheng wants to murder himself, so he uses this matter to counter Li Jiancheng, to show his father and the world, and to pave the way for the change of Xuanwumen in the future, which is also equivalent to being famous." ”

"Now that Detective Qiu understands, I don't need to say more." Cai Qianqing got up and said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War has clouds, so there will be five dangers: you must die, you can kill; will be born, but can be captured; Angry, insulting; Incorruptible, humiliating; Love the people, but it's annoying. All these five will be passed, and the disaster of using soldiers will also be used. The destruction of the army will be in five dangers, and it must not be overlooked. ”

After Cai Qianqing finished speaking, he walked to the back room, and the voice as calm as water slowly came out again: "Qiu Yutan, the plague has been plagued for ten years, and the cult has been in turmoil for a hundred years, you can choose what to do." ”

Qiu Gubo recalled this time, and the hand that was placed on the arrow stomp couldn't help but tighten and grasp.

He frowned, took a deep breath, and whispered to himself: "The fifth step is to trap the enemy in righteousness, and the division is famous, so that we can cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

At this time, someone under the city tower had already carried the patient who had been treated in advance, and after some prayer, Cai Qianqing used the blinding method to conjure up the pill, carefully fed the patient to take it, and then sat cross-legged on one side and waited.

This is Cai Qianqing's signal, which means to tell Qiu Gubo that he can do it.

When Qiu Gubo was still hesitating, Wu Liu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Qiu Detective, everything is ready." ”

Qiu Gubo came back to his senses, looked at him and asked, "Are the clothes and weapons ready?" ”

"Twenty people, all heinous death row inmates, without any firearms, only swords, have been ambushed in the intended position." After Wu Liu finished speaking, he thought for a while and asked in embarrassment, "Is there no other way?" Do I have to do this? ”

Qiu Gubo didn't answer his question directly, but just arranged: "You and Ban Lu each lead a team, start at the scheduled time, remember, don't say much, don't be soft, withdraw immediately after doing it cleanly, retreat in the direction where the Seagod Sect gathers, break it into pieces halfway, take off your clothes and burn it after dispersing, don't leave any traces, what to do in the end, don't need me to say, right?" ”

"Yes, extinguish." Wu Liu nodded slowly, hesitated for a long time, and then raised his eyes and said, "My child has just reached the full moon, and this move is detrimental to Yin ......."

Qiu Gubo nodded and said, "You go home, I'll go for you, I mean it." ”

"Forget it." Wu Liu smiled reluctantly, "I eat official dinner, I should obey orders, and since I became a police officer, Director Qiu and Detective Qiu have been very kind to me, I just have one thing to ask for." ”

Qiu Gubo said: "You say." ”

Wu Liudao: "After this matter is completed, can you transfer me back to manage the files?" ”

Qiu Gubo said: "Okay, no problem, I promise you." ”

Wu Liu nodded: "Thank you." ”

Wu Liu turned to leave, walking very slowly, his fists clenched and released, looking powerless and helpless.

Qiu Gubo looked at his back, and also felt weak, leaning against the wall and slowly sliding down, slumped there, sweating profusely.

Is this just a sign of morality?

You can transfer to manage the file after you're done, but what about me? What should I, the Supreme Executor, do to atone for my sins?

What about Cai Qianqing, who came up with this vicious plan? Will he be able to sleep every night from then on?

Qiu Gubo closed his eyes in pain, struggling inwardly.
