Chapter 478: New Guesses and Clues

Yongli sneered twice, and told the whole story:

"Because this child is the one we...ah bah, the black lotus cult has appointed to find!

Before Zhang Xiaoni, the evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Cult had sent a decree to ask believers to find some special children for him.

Without exception, these children are all descendants of great Confucians and great virtues, and descendants of famous families!

People of great Confucianism and great virtue often accumulate rich prestige and blessings, and can benevolent to future generations, so that their descendants can breed talents of dragons and phoenixes.

As for the nobles, in order to continue the glory of the family, they will also use various means to cultivate outstanding descendants.

For the Black Lotus Cult, these talented and blessed children are either the best 'material' for cultivation, or the best candidates for believers..."

Yongli has one cult at a time, and he has completely broken with the Black Lotus Sect.

After listening to his explanation, Qin Shaoyou nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, in the eyes of ghosts and cults, children who are gifted, intelligent, and rich in blessings are like monk meat.

If you eat it, although you can't live forever, it definitely has a lot of benefits.

If you don't eat it, it can be used to cultivate loyal believers, and it can also exert a great effect, not only in the local area, but even in the court, it can become their umbrella and give them great convenience!

Especially Zhang Xiaoni.

If he is really a prince disguised as a woman, as Qin Shaoyou guessed, and the Black Lotus Sect finds him, bewitches and trains him since he was a child, and makes him a loyal believer of the Black Lotus Sect, then when he returns to the royal family and takes charge of the government, the Black Lotus Whether it is to spread the teachings or establish its so-called Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom, it will be much easier than it is now.

But for the ordinary people who are already troubled by disasters, life will undoubtedly become more miserable.

Because at that time, the Great Xia Dynasty might really become a purgatory on earth!

Yongli didn't know that Qin Shaoyou had deduced so many things at once.

When he was talking about this topic, he suddenly remembered another thing, and said:

"Zhang Shilang's grandson is also a talented and intelligent child, so Li Anan took the risk of capturing him and turning him into a dog, hoping to gain more karma and help him break through.

It's a pity that he underestimated you Luocheng Town Demon Secretary and Zhang Shilang, and he was captured by you in the end.

I heard that he was silenced by the black lotus cult on his way to the state capital under your escort?

Hey... When I heard the news, I should have noticed the cruelty of the Black Lotus Cult.

Even the Black Lotus Bodhisattva, they can kill without hesitation, let alone ordinary believers like us? "

Yongli complained and sighed, annoyed that he hadn't seen through the insidiousness of the Black Lotus Cult earlier, but Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly after hearing his words.

When escorting Li Ananda to the state capital, he was indeed attacked by a black lotus sect monster, and even dispatched a black lotus Buddha.

But at that time, both he and Xue Qingshan believed that the Black Lotus Sect was here to rob prisoners.

But now after listening to Yongli's words, I think of Li Anan's mission in Mianyuan County.

Qin Shaoyou felt that it was really possible that the group of black lotus demons at that time were going to kill people to silence them, not to rob prisoners.

Because of Li Anan's selfish desires, in order to allow him to break through the Bodhisattva status, he arrested children wantonly in Mianyuan County, which eventually caused the situation to escalate, causing the investigation and suppression of Luocheng Town Demon Division, not only destroying the Black Lotus Sect The power that has finally developed in Mianyuan County has also caused a huge obstacle to the search for Zhang Xiaoni.

The evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect will definitely not forgive him easily!

In addition, the evil Buddhas of the Black Lotus Sect were also afraid that Li Anan would reveal their real purpose in Mianyuan County and leak information related to Zhang Xiaoni!

Although in Luocheng town demon division, Li Anan withstood the torture and did not speak.

But when he was sent to Yizhou Town Demon Division and the headquarters of the Town Demon Division in Beijing, could he still keep the secret?

Especially in the headquarters of the town demon division in the capital, there is a very terrifying prison. Anyone who is locked in this prison, whether it is a cult fairy Buddha or a demon king ghost king, will eventually have his mouth opened.

For the evil Buddhas of the Black Lotus Sect, only Li Anan, who has died and disappeared, is the one who can truly keep the secret.

But from this point of view, the Black Lotus Sect should not have cursed Li Ananda.

Of course, it is also possible that at Li Anan's level, he has been able to suppress or even lift the curse in his body.

"So, did I kill Li Anan, or was it wrong?"

Qin Shaoyou was a little taken aback.

But soon, he shook his head to dismiss the idea.

"If the Black Lotus Sect really came here to kill people, even if I didn't kill Li Anan, he would be killed by the Black Lotus Sect monsters who attacked at that time. After all, they didn't come to save people, but to kill people. We can only be on guard They rescued Li Anan, but they would not prevent them from killing Li Anan."

Qin Shaoyou didn't regret killing Li Anan.

If you don't kill him, where can you get good food? If you really want people from the Black Lotus Sect to succeed, wouldn't you get nothing?

His only pity was that the level of [Bright Eyes] or the mysterious recipe was not high enough to peep into the memory of the soul at that time.

Otherwise, he would be able to see the intention of the Black Lotus Sect from Li Anan's soul memory, instead of guessing and inferring by collecting clues from many sources like now.

Immediately afterwards, Yongli confessed some of his understanding of Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni.

These are all members of the Black Lotus Sect, after Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni 'disappeared', they found out the situation.

It's almost the same as what Qin Shaoyou investigated, but there are a few more details.

For example, Lao Zhangtou claimed to be a farmer from Shanzhou who had been farming for generations. When he arrived in Mianyuan County, he had to switch to selling cooking cakes because he had no land.

In the past few years in Mianyuan County, he has always been illiterate, and even the letters to his relatives who are still in Shanzhou are written by Yongli.

But when he and Zhang Xiaoni 'disappeared' strangely, the people sent by the Black Lotus Sect found a lot of books in the house where they lived.

All of them are famous works such as the classics and history collections, and there are comments on them, most of which are related to politics and governing the country. Not only the writing is excellent, but also the insights are quite unique.

Obviously, old Zhangtou is not only literate, but also quite knowledgeable, and has been secretly teaching Zhang Xiaoni.

Qin Shaoyou frowned again when he heard this.

Ever since he knew that Zhang Xingzu had a relative who worked as an imperial physician in the capital, Qin Shaoyou had been wondering whether old Zhangtou was that imperial physician?

But now after hearing Yongli's words, he was a little shaken by this guess.

Although the imperial doctors are also scholars, they are better at medical classics and medical skills, but what the old Zhangtou taught Zhang Xiaoni was for the politics of the country.

This is not what imperial doctors are good at!

So, old Zhangtou is a high official in the imperial court?

Or a certain father-in-law in the inner court?

As far as Qin Shaoyou knew, the eunuchs of the Great Xia Dynasty also needed to study, and even the teachers were great Confucian scholars or important ministers in the court.

If he can manage the affairs of the twelve prisons in the inner court, he will be a person with outstanding knowledge, no worse than a Jinshi.

Just as he was thinking, Yongli talked about searching for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni along the river.

Qin Shaoyou temporarily stopped guessing about Lao Zhang's headless talk, and asked, "Did you find it?"

"It should not have been found."

"How did you see that?"

After taking a few breaths, Yongli uttered a new clue that lifted Qin Shaoyou's spirit:

"Because just a few days before you came to Mianyuan County, we received a new order to organize people to search for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni in the direction of Guankou County."
