In the forbidden area, Ganlu Hall.
"Your Majesty, here is your secret letter." Li Xunchao, who was wearing a green official uniform, walked in holding two letters.
Li Zichou just raised his head from the sea of studies in "Politics", glanced at her, and then turned the ancient book in his hand to the next page.
"Okay, bring it here."
"yes."
Li Xunxun presented the two letters with both hands, and Lu Xiaoying walked up to her to take them for her.
"Your Majesty." Lu Xiaoying bowed and handed it out.
Li Zichou stuffed the wooden bookmark into "Politics", and took the secret document in her hand with his right hand.
"Go down and rest."
"promise."
"promise."
Li Xunchao and Lu Xiaoying both retreated, and they also left with the palace maids and servants of His Royal Highness.
Li Zichou took the first letter and unfolded it. It was from the Forbidden Army, and it was the part of soldiers Li Zichou sent out to secretly protect Yang Dejin.
Li Zifu poured himself a cup of hot water and watched while drinking.
Throughout the story, nothing major happened, but Li Zichou's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, almost as good as the subway grandfather watching his mobile phone.
Yang Dejin went shopping in brothels behind my back? ?
Xie Zhi is also there? ? ?
Don't stop me either! Is this appropriate? !
Where is the law of heaven? Where is the morality? Where is the address? !
On my side, I am working tirelessly to build the country without sleeping and eating, but this **** actually secretly went out to spend time and drink? She's not afraid of being discovered as a girl, is she? !
Li Zichu was on fire with jealousy.
He closed the letter angrily, and took out the second letter, which was still the seal of blue and white Jingle Cat, which was sent by Yang Dejin.
The letter described how she and Xie Zhi got in touch with He Cong, and how to pry out the news from him. It was a detailed work report.
Li Zishou: "..."
Li Zi paid off his anger.
In addition to reporting work, Yang Dejin also asked her in the letter if she could find a way to deal with these brothels. To let her see the girls commit themselves to crooked melons like He Cong, her heart would bleed.
It is good for prostitutes to sell their talents, but it would be too pitiful if they were reduced to selling their bodies.
But it's easy to say, brothels and brothels are profit-making organizations that can legally exist in this era, and the power behind the feasting and feasting is wide and deep.
In Pingkang alone, there are countless brothels, large and small, operating. It is not easy to ban brothels all over the world.
Li Zifu took down a Langhao brush and a piece of letter paper, thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, dipped in the ink and began to write.
Although she can't ban brothels all at once, she can develop Xianggu houses at the same time, and then set up a special agency to strictly manage them to create a balanced industry ecology.
Why are only women able to sell themselves? This is too unfair, and men must also have it!
In the future, anyone who dares to challenge her stupidly will be sent to the Elephant Girl's House to sell their butts!
With a big wave of his hand, Li Zichou wrote the reply letter eloquently and sent it to someone.
"Come on, get the queen..." Li Zichou was about to ask someone to invite Bai Qingyang, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, and changed his words: "Forget it, I will go by myself."
//
The Wuming Temple outside the capital has been abandoned for a long time. It is a relic left by the previous dynasty, and the outside looks dilapidated. After the official road was opened, few people went this way again, and the roadside was covered with luxuriant dogtail grass, covering the footprints of the predecessors.
It was day, and the night was thick, and when it was close to samadhi, there was no movement in the nameless temple.
"Your Highness, there is no need for you to follow." Xie Zhi said standing beside Yang Dejin.
"I'm worried about you coming alone." Yang Dejin supported the tree trunk with one hand, squinting and looking down the mountain.
The two are on a small hill near the Nameless Temple, where they can see part of the internal structure of the Nameless Temple.
"Your Highness, the situation in the Wuming Temple is unknown. If something happens to the prince, the officials will bear the blame."
Yang Dejin wanted to go together, but it was actually Xie Zhi who was worried.
"Master Xie, the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion are on standby outside the city right now, and the hidden guards have also raised their spirits." Yang Dejin said, "Xie Zhirui, you have to trust me, I can protect you well."
There seemed to be stars shining in Yang Dejin's eyes, which stood out in the dim moonlight. After she finished speaking, she looked towards Wuming Temple again, but she didn't see the waves in Xie Zhi's eyes.
Xie Zhi quietly felt the throbbing in his chest. After a moment of silence, he stared at Yang Dejin and said truthfully, "I'm afraid I can't protect you well."
Yang Dejin was taken aback when he heard the words, blinked, and turned to look at her with flattered and at a loss.
When Xie Zhi said that, Yang Dejin was actually very happy.
She traveled to this book world, and the only person she was familiar with was Li Zifu, and she never counted on others. Xie Zhi's words more or less expressed concern and love, which really made her...
Some moved.
Yang Dejin opened her mouth, seeing that the worry in her eyes didn't seem fake, she didn't speak for a while.
After a while, Yang Dejin smiled softly.
"You can protect me well, I believe in you." Yang Dejin patted her upper arm and said.
Xie Zhi shook his head.
She has never said that she can protect anyone well, and it is enough to experience the feeling of losing someone she values.
It would be too cruel for her to repeat the same mistakes.
Investigating the Dacheng Sect was originally the task Bai Qingyang entrusted to him, and there was no need for Yang Dejin to follow her through this muddy water.
Xie Zhi wanted to say something, but Yang Dejin stopped him.
"Hey? Look, is there someone here?"
Xie Zhi heard the words and looked around, and found that someone was indeed walking in the direction of Wuming Temple. And there were several people walking scattered on the road, all holding torches.
At this time, the secret guard of the Prince's Mansion flew forward and landed on a nearby tree.
"My lord, there are people coming this way, and they all come from the direction of the imperial city."
Yang Dejin: "Have you seen how many people there are?"
"About thirty or forty people, all behind, wearing white cloaks to cover their faces. They should all be believers, and their identities are unclear."
"They all just came out of the city? Why didn't the guards in the house see it?" Yang Dejin looked at the path at the foot of the mountain and found that there were gradually more pedestrians.
The personal guard shook his head and said: "At this time, the gate of the city has already been closed, and they should have left the city before then."
"Go and get two cloaks, Mr. Xie and I have mixed into the ranks of believers."
"Obey!"
"Your Highness..."
"Master Xie, don't worry." Yang Dejin said in a gentle voice, and then told the hidden guards, "The dark guards are watching from the outside of the Wuming Temple. The soldiers outside the city gate should not act rashly. Listen to my letter before acting."
The hidden guard: "My lord, the empress's guards are still following us."
Yang Dejin: "It's okay, don't do anything to them."
"Then subordinates will send some guards with high martial arts skills to go with you."
Yang Dejin clicked his tongue, and said angrily: "You follow, I have to pay the entrance fee for several people, right? I don't bring that much money, and the hidden guards will stay in my post."
"Okay... I will obey you." The dark guard left.
After a quarter of an hour, Yang Dejin and Xie Zhi each put on the white cloaks that the dark guards took off from others, and followed far behind the line.
Xie Zhi whispered: "Your Highness knows that the Empress sent someone to follow you?"
Yang Dejin: "I know."
"Then why do you still..."
"It's normal for the empress to be wary of this king, and I don't do bad things, what can she do with me?"
Xie Zhi remembered that Li Zi had invited her into the palace and had a talk with her in Kaiyang Hall. It's about Empress Dasheng's reputation, so it's okay for the Empress to attach importance to this case, even Yang Dejin...
Xie Zhi always felt that the matter was not that simple, but since he was investigating the case now, he didn't delve into it too much, but observed his surroundings.
They saw that the mighty crowd had almost left, so they went down the mountain and followed behind, so as to blend in with the crowd. Everyone was wearing white cloaks, no one could recognize anyone, and naturally no one suspected that outsiders had sneaked in.
In the middle of the night, a group of people dressed in white wandered in the suburbs, like a parade of ghosts, no matter how scary you looked.
The two sneaked in from the end, quickened their pace and came to the middle of the line. There was very little conversation in the line, and these people probably didn't know each other.
The gate was not closed until the last believer in a white cloak came in. Someone lit the brazier with a torch, and a faint fire ignited in the courtyard, barely able to illuminate the courtyard, but not much brighter.
A table was set up in front of the main hall, and a person sat at the table, and people began to line up to pay him.
Looking at the level of proficiency, Yang Dejin didn't know how many times this kind of gathering had happened.
"I haven't recorded you before, you're new?" the man sitting looked at Yang Dejin and said.
The man wore a mask, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.
But Yang Dejin lowered her head, and didn't reveal too much of her face.
She thumped in her heart: what do you mean? Shouldn't everyone here be new? ! And with so many people dressed exactly the same, how can you tell who is who? ? !
While Yang Dejin was playing mahjong in his heart, the man continued, "Make up for the membership fee."
Yang Dejin quickly took out the money order from her pocket and handed it to him: "Yes, yes, I forgot, I didn't bring so much cash today." Damn, I was scared to death! !
Xie Zhi followed behind Yang Dejin calmly, alert to the troubles around him.
After paying the money, the table was removed.
People wearing white robes and cloaks gathered in the courtyard. There were figures suspected of being high-ranking members of the church standing still on the high platform in front of the main hall, with braziers bursting with sparks on the left and right, and the believers were separated far away.
A wall surrounded the crowded believers. The shadows of trees dance outside the wall, and the shadows of fire inside the wall.
The author has something to say:
Yang Dejin: I told you not to keep any of them, so why don't you do both? ?
Li Zichou: I'm afraid you won't have fun.
For two consecutive days of three-level review, Ah Jiang thinks highly of me. Not surprisingly, there is another update today.
