Qin Tai's purpose in leaving Feng Zhong was to inquire about the Taoist priests who Emperor Jiajing trusted the most during the Jiajing Emperor's time, and who is still alive in the world. Feng Zhong knew almost everything about Qin Tai's questions. Feng Zhong followed Qin Tai, and he knew about several Taoist priests who were close to Emperor Jiajing at the beginning, because he served as the night eunuch of the Shenguan at that time. However, after the death of Emperor Jiajing, these Taoist priests were either secretly executed, or secretly guarded by Emperor Longqing on the grounds of keeping the palace secret, and now almost all of them have died of illness and old age.

Qin Tai believed that Feng Zhong had no need to deceive himself, but who was this person, and why could he easily avoid this secret execution? Does this person have any special identity? Who will he be? Who will vouch for him?

Feng Zhong didn't know what Qin Tai was thinking, but he didn't dare to inquire. Just when Qin Tai couldn't figure it out, Feng Zhong suddenly remembered someone. Feng Zhong followed Qin Tai, and if he wanted to know what Emperor Jiajing and the Taoist priests had done, except for the few personal eunuchs back then, only one person knew best. At that time, there were few personal eunuchs around Emperor Jiajing who were alive, the eunuch Lu Fang, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch, had already died, and the first eunuch Chen Hong also died, and Lao Ma was killed, leaving only Huang Jin and Meng Chong. After Meng Chong resigned as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies two years ago, he heard that he was crazy and stupid, but he was actually drugged. Huang Jin's health has not been as good as before over the years, and I heard that he is almost dying. Although Feng Bao knew Emperor Jiajing better, because Feng Bao had been with Emperor Longqing for a long time, that is, King Yu at the beginning, he didn't know much about Emperor Jiajing's secrets. He may be the only one who is still alive and can remember the events of that year clearly. He is the Taoist priest Zhang Linkong and Zhang Daoist of Longhu Mountain, who is known as the Heavenly Master.

Speaking of this Zhang Linkong Zhang Daoshi's reputation is really not small, his family is a former heavenly master, a representative of Taoist orthodoxy. As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, he named Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain as Taoist orthodoxy, and all successive heavenly masters enjoyed the treatment of national teachers, and their rank was equivalent to that of a first-class member of the dynasty. Zhang Linkong's father, the old Zhang Tianshi, once practiced for three days and three nights in order to pray for rain, and died prematurely. Zhang Linkong was only seventeen years old at the time, and he not only inherited his father's position as a celestial master, but also controlled the situation in the shortest possible time, so that those opponents who were ready to move were willing to bow down. Zhang Linkong also participated in the Jiajing Emperor's supernatural power conference many times during the Jiajing Emperor's period, and even the Jiajing Emperor's "Miaozhen" law name was given to the Jiajing Emperor by the gods through Zhang Linkong Zhang Daoshi. Emperor Jiajing has many Taoist priests around him, but in terms of status and rank, Zhang Linkong is ranked in the top three. It's a pity that this Zhang Linkong was too young at the time and didn't learn too many family heirloom skills, otherwise Emperor Jiajing really wanted to practice the secret method of Dragon and Tiger Mountain with Zhang Linkong. However, Emperor Jiajing trusted Zhang Linkong very much, not only allowed Zhang Linkong to walk freely in the palace, but also allowed Zhang Linkong to talk to Emperor Jiajing at any time day and night. After the death of Emperor Jiajing, Zhang Linkong was the only Taoist priest who was not implicated. Emperor Longqing left Zhang Linkong to continue to live in the palace, and Zhang Linkong took the initiative to resign after living for a period of time and returned to Longhu Mountain to cultivate by himself. Feng Zhong told Qin Tai that the reason why this Zhang Linkong was safe and sound was that Zhang Linkong was a supporter of King Yu and had said good things for King Yu in front of Emperor Jiajing many times. After Zhang Linkong returned to Longhu Mountain, he wrote a lot of scriptures and became the spiritual leader of Taoism, and the common people called him a living immortal.

After Qin Tai heard Zhang Linkong's name, he seemed to have caught something. Qin Tai asked Feng Zhong to arrange for everyone to leave Zhumadian the next day, and at the same time asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to call Li Daguan over. After Qin Tai saw Li Daguan, he asked Li Daguan to repeat the names of the branch altars and the names of the altar owners in various places. Li Daguan was even more relieved when he saw that there were many people, and he had the courage to say the name of the owner of the altar and the name of the adjutant of the post while recalling. Li Daguan spoke for a long time, and reported all the names of the branch altars he knew, and Qin Tai could finally confirm it. This mysterious person is Zhang Linkong, the backer and supporter behind this divine cult organization is Zhang Linkong, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. The entire Divine Cult Organization has countless branches throughout the country, and its influence is all over the country. However, there are not many altars in the capital and Jiangxi, if the capital is easy to be found at the feet of the Son of Heaven, why is there only three altars in Jiangxi? There are 31 altars in the nearby Anhui? Is Jiangxi not as good as Anhui? No, this is to avoid a misunderstanding between the Divine Sect and the people of Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Tianshi. The people of the Divine Sect are too unafraid, and they will definitely not worry about offending Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and the only reason why they do this is that the general altar does not allow the people of the organization to develop and grow too much near Longhu Mountain. In other words, the upper echelons of the Divine Sect were unwilling to offend Zhang Tianshi, and they were even a little worried that Zhang Tianshi would be unhappy. Even the government is not afraid, and the Divine Cult that dares to argue with the imperial court, why is it worried about Zhang Linkong's dissatisfaction? There is only one explanation that this Zhang Linkong is Ning'er's benefactor and master, and Ning'er does not dare to do things that deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and do not dare to do things that Zhang Linkong is unhappy about.

Zhang Linkong was completely in line with Qin Tai's conjecture just now, and he also had the ability to protect Ning Er. But Zhang Linkong is already the spiritual leader of Taoism, and in the eyes of the common people, he is a living immortal, does he still have any dissatisfaction or resentment? By the way, Qin Tai finally figured out why Zhang Linkong did this, Zhang Linkong was taking revenge on Emperor Jiajing and his descendants. Huang Jin was one of the personal eunuchs beside Emperor Jiajing back then, he was a good friend of Qin Tai, and once told Qin Tai some secrets in the palace. The reason why Huang Jin told Qin Tai was because Qin Tai met his appetite and made him feel that he could talk about his thoughts. The second is because Huang Jin hopes that Qin Tai will not believe too much in the words of the royal family, especially the emperor's family. The third is to let Qin Tai understand the sinister nature of officialdom. Huang Jin once inadvertently mentioned a person and an event, which made Qin Tai think about it very suspiciously now. At that time, the old Zhang Tianshi, who was Zhang Linkong's father, had a high prestige among the people, which made Emperor Jiajing very dissatisfied. The reason why Emperor Jiajing is angry is because Emperor Jiajing compares himself to an immortal, is it better to be a descendant of a heavenly master? Someone once told Emperor Jiajing's fortune, saying that Emperor Jiajing was a barefoot immortal in the sky, and he cultivated a perfect golden body as a living immortal. Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied with this, and he didn't want to be an emperor and wanted to be an immortal. The appearance of the old Zhang Tianshi made Emperor Jiajing feel very uncomfortable, and besides, Emperor Jiajing once sent someone to invite the old Zhang Tianshi to Beijing, but the old Zhang Tianshi was unwilling to come. In fact, Lao Zhang Tianshi didn't believe that Emperor Jiajing was an immortal, and he didn't believe that taking pills could lead to immortality. Old Zhang Tianshi didn't dare to say it in person, so he often found reasons not to come to the capital to meet with Emperor Jiajing. The old Zhang Tianshi's prevarication made Emperor Jiajing very unhappy, thinking that the old Zhang Tianshi looked down on Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing took the opportunity of the great drought in the south to order the old Zhang Tianshi to ask for rain, if the old Zhang Tianshi could not complete the task, the Jiajing Emperor would take away the title of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. In order to protect the family's reputation and the future of future generations, Lao Zhang Tianshi had no choice but to fight. After three days and three nights of struggle, although Lao Zhang Tianshi begged for rain, he consumed his vitality and passed away prematurely. Emperor Jiajing knew the truth, but he didn't know what to do, and he was ridiculed by people before and after him, and Lao Zhang Tianshi was not cultivated properly, so he would have such a short life.

Qin Tai felt that Zhang Linkong might have known the truth about his father's disappointment, so he secretly arranged so many things, the purpose was to take revenge on Emperor Jiajing. But now that Emperor Jiajing is dead, and Emperor Longqing is also dead, why should Zhang Linkong continue to do it? Zhang Linkong knew very well that even if the matter was successful, he would not be able to be the emperor, what good would this do to Zhang Linkong and Longhushan? Zhang Linkong has already protected Ning'er, Ning'er's mother and son have also become a laughing stock and stayed, and the Divine Cult organization established by Zhang Linkong has also made enough money, is it necessary to continue?

Qin Tai had a new idea, could it be that the Divine Cult Organization was out of control, and this Ning Er no longer believed in Zhang Linkong. Zhang Linkong lost control of the Divine Cult Organization, and Ning'er continued to go crazy in order to take revenge on his family for his son to become emperor. As long as it is a normal person, he will not do it anymore, only Ning'er, who has been stimulated, will do it so recklessly. If that's the case, wouldn't Zhang Linkong care about it? Qin Tai decided to go to Longhu Mountain in person, and he would talk about this Zhang Linkong for a while.

While Qin Tai told Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao about the matter here in the form of a letter, he asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to prepare his luggage and set off early tomorrow morning to rush to Longhu Mountain. That night, Feng Zhong was called into the room by Qin Tai. Qin Tai told Feng Zhong everything that happened here, and Feng Zhong wanted to preside over the overall situation here, and he needed to attract the attention of the Divine Sect. After Feng Zhong heard these appalling things, he would also know the seriousness of this matter. The arrest of the Criminal Department took over the interrogation of the case, in fact, it was deliberately to let everyone know that there was a dead person here, and the dead person was not the real Ma Yuelan, it was Ma Guilan, who had not been whereabouts for many years. Jinyiwei's people "just happened" to find Ma Guilan's identity certificate, confirming that Ma Guilan was a palace maid. Jin Yiwei asked the people from the Criminal Department to hand over the case to Jin Yiwei, and the people from Dongchang also intervened after learning about this matter. The three parties had a dispute over who would lead the case, and in the end, Feng Zhong, the celebrant and eunuch, was in charge of the investigation of the case. While Feng Zhong was investigating the case, he issued a notice to assist in the investigation, letting the people of the Divine Sect know that Ma Guilan was dead, and it did not attract too many people's attention.

Feng Zhong not only had to act, but also had to do two other things, the first was to protect the safety of Li Daguan and Yi Tian's body. These are all the core figures of the Divine Cult, and the people of the Divine Cult must not be exposed prematurely. Second, he sent his cronies to send Qin Tai's letter to the capital and Anhui as quickly as possible. Feng Bao stayed in the capital as the eunuch in charge of the seal, and Zhang Juzheng personally sat in the two provinces of Jiangxi, West and Anhui as the first assistant of the cabinet, and is now in the territory of Anhui and Anhui. Qin Tai's letter must be delivered to these two people on time, if Feng Zhong didn't have this ability, he would not be qualified to be a celebrant eunuch.
