Liu Yunxiang returned to the palace gate, just in time to meet Feng Zheng hurriedly dismounted, and was in a hurry to go to the mansion. Liu Yunxiang called him, and he saw her and hurriedly ran forward.

"Madam, can Your Highness be in the mansion?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "No, do you have any urgent report?" ”

Feng Zheng frowned, "Didn't you ask me to go to Zhenbei to transfer grain, I brought a hundred carts of grain, but I was intercepted by a group of dismissed soldiers in the canyon outside Panlong City." The two sides are still in a stalemate, and I will come back and ask for reinforcements. ”

"Pass on the order of the main palace, and you will immediately bring troops to reinforcements." Liu Yunxiang said.

Feng Zheng nodded, "My subordinates will go to the garrison to be anxious." ”

Saying that Feng Zheng got on the horse and was about to leave, he thought of something again, "By the way, madam, you know the person who took the lead in robbing grain." ”

Liu Yunxiang was stunned, "Who?" ”

"King Suping's retinue, Danqing."

When Liu Yunxiang heard this name, her brows furrowed, after Lu Changan hung herself, she asked people to look for Danqing, but she didn't find anyone, and she didn't want him to stay in Xizhou.

"I'll go with you."

Liu Yunxiang followed Feng Zheng to the canyon, and they also brought a thousand reinforcements. And the other party was obviously afraid that they would find reinforcements, so they had already attacked first. When they arrived, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and as soon as they arrived, the situation immediately changed.

Liu Yunxiang said to Zijin, and Zijin went out in response. After a while, she captured Danqing.

The soldiers brought by Danqing were originally expanded by Lu Chang'an, and they did not undergo strict training and their combat effectiveness was not high. Therefore, when fighting against the regular army, even if there is a numerical advantage, it quickly becomes chaotic and cannot be defeated.

The battle situation was already obvious, and Danqing's face was dark, especially when he saw Liu Yunxiang, his eyes were full of anger.

Liu Yunxiang faced him directly, "If you can't become a soldier, you will be a thief, and you are not afraid of smearing Lu Changan's face?" ”

"You don't deserve to mention the prince!" Danqing roared.

"How am I not worthy?"

"How can the prince hang himself, you must have forced him to death!"

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "You thought I forced him to hang himself." ”

"It has to be you!"

"Then you don't know him well." Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "He killed himself because he didn't want to drag Xizhou into the war, and he didn't want the people who had already suffered too much to be ruined because of him." He had done many things wrong, and killing himself was the only way to atone for his sins. ”

"The prince is not wrong, it was all of you who forced him to take this step!" Danqing shouted with red eyes.

"Wrong is wrong, and right and wrong are always clear." Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh, "Lu Changan has already atoned for his sins, if you really respect him, then accept him ending his life in this way." ”

Danqing lowered his head and whimpered, "I can't accept it." ”

"You can see and experience this mess in Xizhou, otherwise you wouldn't have robbed these grains. I can give you a cart, and when you have enough to eat and drink, go and earn your own living. And the rest of the food, we still have to help the people. ”

With that, Liu Yunxiang waved his hand at Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng nodded and asked his subordinates to push a cart of grain to Danqing and them.

Danqing finally lowered his head in shame, "I, I just want to cause you some trouble." ”

"Go ahead and live well in the future."

After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he remembered something again, "By the way, you have been following Lu Changan, this palace wants to ask you, has he investigated the Witch God Temple, and has he investigated anything?" ”

Danqing nodded, "The prince specially sent someone to investigate." ”

This place is not a good place, Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to bring the grain back to the city first, and then asked Danqing to distribute the grain to his people, and then sent them away, and then asked Danqing to go back to the palace with her.

They came directly to the study, and Lu Changan collected the things about the Witch God Temple from the investigation into a dossier, and Danqing found it out and handed it to Liu Yunxiang to see.

"The Witch God Temple arose thirty years ago, originally organized by a few goddesses to cheat money, and then grew stronger and stronger, deeply rooted in Panlong City." Danqing Road.

"And what about the sacrifice?"

"The Witch Temple will be sacrificed every year, and every year the sacrifice is made by a boy who dies of illness, and every year there will be such a boy who dies of illness and death when he is approaching the sacrifice ceremony, and every year there is a boy of seven or eight years old. Originally, it couldn't arouse any suspicion, after all, Panlong City is so big, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to find such a boy from outside. But last year, because the parents regretted it, they begged the prince, and the prince came forward for them, and then they knew that the so-called witch god was not simple. Later, he sent people to investigate, and found that the boys who sacrificed every year were not sick, but they were poisoned early, and the children were poisoned, and the family and doctors thought they were sick, and then when his breath was extremely weak, they thought that he was seriously ill and died, but in fact, these children still had a breath of air. ”

"Because I can't use a child who is alive and well, for fear of causing a blow from the government and arousing the anger of the people, I used this vicious method to make everyone think that the witch temple sacrifice is a dead child. And the witch god will transcend his soul and make him a holy son, so that his parents and the government can accept it. Liu Yunxiang said.

Danqing nodded, "After some negotiation between the prince and the witch goddess, she was also afraid that the matter would be too big, so she promised to let the boy go and gave him the antidote." And because there were too many believers in the witch god, the prince could not immediately exterminate this cult, for fear of causing a big mess, so he sent people to investigate in-depth and found a way to detoxify. It's just that later, the prince took care of Sheng Jing's side and put the matter aside. ”

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, as she expected, the prescription was indeed used for detoxification. And Lu Changan was not afraid of things, but secretly collecting evidence, planning to find a suitable time to clear the Witch Temple.

It's just that there are too many things to dop.

"By the way, have you found the location of the Witch Temple?"

Danqing took the file and turned to one of the pages, it was a topographic map, he only showed it to Liu Yunxiang, "No, it's here." ”

Liu Yunxiang looked at the topographic map, the original witch temple was actually in the deep mountains, so secret, no wonder outsiders couldn't find it.

"The people sent by the prince were promoted to the white robes and were able to enter here. According to the man, although it is mysterious, it is no different from other popes, and it is even stricter in terms of the rules and precepts, and the believers are practicing all the time, and the precepts are basic, and there are hundreds of precepts. They also have their own scriptures, and they teach people to do good, to love the world. The man was almost about to become a devout believer, and the prince noticed it and hurriedly summoned him back. ”

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "So apart from the fact that you sacrifice with a living person, there are no other evil deeds in this witch temple?" ”

"Not only did they not do evil deeds, but they also used the money raised to buy food to help the people, so even if the people don't believe in the witch god, they are still very grateful to the witch god temple, which is also the reason why the prince does not dare to easily exterminate this organization."

It is a cult, but it has won the hearts of the people.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, he really had to be thoughtful.
