Chapter 856 Concubine Mei

Sure enough, that day, Meng Qi nodded slightly, confirming his own guess. Sima Shi was not a person who liked to be messy. If he had enough time, he would definitely restore the files to their original appearance, with the contents of the summary placed at the top, so that he could grasp the core situation at a glance. Only when he encountered an emergency shortly after reading them, would he let them be placed on the table like this.

The night after reading this file, Sima Shi mysteriously disappeared. Could it be related to this?

In addition to the follow-up caused by the emperor's sudden death, there seems to be another possibility.

"Why is there no follow-up to this report?" Meng Qi pointed to the report mixed into the "Original Mother Yuanjun" religion.

Zu Cun Shen looked a bit worried: "This spy always regularly sent back what he saw, but after he started to recite scriptures and pray, he only sent back the first time, and then stopped completely. I suspect that he has met with misfortune."

Meng Qi tapped the file with his right index finger: "It may not be a misfortune, but he may be bewitched by the gods and become a true believer of the Mother Yuanjun Religion."

The gods who can get healing responses just by reciting scriptures and praying are not ordinary. It is not surprising that the power and lofty holiness they show make people gradually forget themselves with piety, especially "Mother Yuanjun" may be the vest of "Mother Wusheng", which is the peak of the cult's bewitching people since ancient times.

"What the chief detective said is very true." Zu Cun Shen has been sorting out relevant intelligence for a long time and has seen too many similar situations. Many spy spies and yamen detectives initially mixed in with the intention of investigating, but later became devout believers.

Meng Qi retracted his right hand and looked at Zu Cun Shen, who was sitting cautiously and respectfully: "How do you think we should deal with this matter?"

The chief constable actually asked for his opinion? Zu Cun Shen was flattered. After a moment of silence, he said: "Reporting to the chief constable, the cult is hiding among the common people, forcing us to be cautious and not dare to use the knife. When the spring breeze blows, it will immediately revive. For the evil god, the more and more devout believers, the stronger the power. Once it cannot be controlled, the situation will immediately deteriorate. Therefore, we must not tolerate it and be soft-hearted. We must strike with thunder."

"First, select several areas where the cult is rampant, and dispatch elite soldiers from the headquarters of the capital and the capitals of various states to clear the local six gates and the families involved, and arrest the backbone of the cult and the devout believers. Once the core of the sect is lost, the not-so-devout people will soon scatter like birds and beasts, lose their cohesion, be worn out by life and change their beliefs, and are no longer a threat. "

"If they incite the people, hide among them, and resist arrest, there is no need to worry, and allow innocent people to be hurt."

"After the most blazing flames are extinguished, other places will inevitably be deterred and turn to secrecy, which will require long-term crackdowns and inspections. Once a place is found, it will be eliminated, and there can be no slackness. "

He is a tough guy... Meng Qi stood up, turned his back to Zu Cun Shen, put his hands behind his back, and slowly spoke:

" Arrange according to your plan and start as soon as possible. You are in charge of this matter in the name of the fake gold seal. You only accept orders from someone and can mobilize all resources below the divine detective. If the task is completed well, the fake gold seal will become the real gold seal. "

"At the same time, draft a document and issue it in the name of someone. Do not mention the disappearance of the chief detective Sima. Just say that someone is temporarily taking over this position. Remind the six gates of each state, county, and city to prevent cults and crack down on lewd temples. Also, send the information of several past cult disturbances with the document to let them understand the harm and not despise or condone it. "

"I obey your orders." Zucunshen bowed and said, "I must urge The six gates in each state, county and city should understand the painstaking efforts of the chief constable and improve their understanding of the cult. "

Meng Qi waved his hand: "I issued this document for the cult and to eliminate the impact of the disappearance of the chief constable Sima, so as to avoid panic. As long as the constables find that our six gates are still operating normally and there are instructions from the chief constable, they will calm down and not be taken advantage of by others. "

Zu Cun Shen's eyes lit up and he bowed again: "The chief constable is wise!"

I am indeed far from the chief constable. When I reach their position, all I see and think is the overall situation.

As Zu Cun Shen left Zhu Yi Lou, Meng Qi began to look through the confidential intelligence of the recent period. This is the biggest benefit of being the chief constable!

"After Su Meng, the 'Crazy Blade', killed Has Ula in the Icefield Demon Cave, Mr. Lu, the 'One Heart Sword', and Su Wuming, the 'Heavenly Sword', went there one after another to explore the Demon Cave to prevent the Demon Emperor's Claw from appearing and endangering the world. However, according to the spy's report, Mr. Lu had not entered the core area and had no gains. When Su Wuming arrived, the Demon Cave mysteriously disappeared."

Such information caught Meng Qi's eyes, and he was quite surprised that the Demon Cave had disappeared!

He had previously suspected that the Demon Cave was the place where the descendants of the Demon Emperor's Claw, such as the Demon Lord, sat in meditation, and the Demon Emperor's Claw, a peerless magic weapon, was hidden. It was similar to the Nine Netherworld and the Demon Realm, and was higher than the current world. Therefore, he could only see the projections related to himself. Unless he found the "gate", he had to be a legendary figure to touch the core. In the world today, only Su Wuming could enter, but after he left the retreat in advance, the Demon Cave disappeared.

"It's really not simple there. No wonder it was slashed by the Overlord..." The scene inside the ancient bronze coffin covered with blood suddenly flashed in Meng Qi's mind.

That night, he read all kinds of confidential information while thinking about what nickname to use, striving for perfection, but always dissatisfied.

…………

The next morning, Meng Qi brought Liu Shengming into the palace. Zhao Heng was suspicious, so he deliberately avoided suspicion and only met him once without a deep conversation.

"See the chief constable." The two silver-stamped constables guarding a room bowed and saluted.

Meng Qi, dressed in a green shirt, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the closed door, and nodded slightly: "Is Concubine Mei abnormal?"

"To the chief constable, Mei Fei did not do anything else except crying." A silver-stamped constable said.

"Open the door." Meng Qi did not ask any more questions.

After the ban was lifted, the door creaked open slowly, revealing the scene inside.

This room was not spacious, but it was independent of the surroundings. It was the place where the deposed prince worshipped Buddha in the past. Now it was empty and desolate, with tables, chairs and old beds placed randomly.

A woman was curled up on the bed, wearing a more gorgeous palace dress with bright colors, giving people a touch of bright color, which formed a contradictory contrast with her lifeless and low sobbing.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she hurriedly struggled to sit up and turned her head to look over. She had a beautiful face and eyebrows, and was a rare beauty, but at this time her face was white, with traces of tears, and her eyes were hazy, containing sadness and self-pity.

"I am the new chief constable of the Six Gates." Meng Qi said straight to the point.

He did not close the door to show that he was open and honest, so as not to be slandered by palace rumors and tarnish the reputation of the hero.

Mei Fei tidied her messy hair and bowed gracefully: "Meet the chief constable."

"Take a look at this file. Are the words recorded in it what you said?" Meng Qi gestured to Liu Shengming to hand over the transcript.

Mei Fei took the transcript, read it carefully, and nodded slightly: "No fabrication."

Her voice was hoarse and weak, obviously she had been crying for a long time.

"Is there anything you need to add?" Meng Qi asked.

Mei Fei thought for a while and shook her head: "No."

"Did the emperor do anything different that night?" Meng Qi asked according to his own thoughts.

Mei Fei had a plum blossom-like birthmark on her forehead, which was bright red and beautiful: "The emperor seemed to have encountered something good, and he was very happy."

Emotions were high... Meng Qi asked again: "Did you find anything unusual, or hear any sound?"

Mei Fei's pale face suddenly turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and stuttered: "I, I couldn't hear any other sounds at all, and I couldn't feel anything else."

Meng Qi glanced at the file, which contained the notes of several eunuchs and palace maids.

And the Yuan Xinyin sensed that Mei Fei's emotions were real, and she didn't lie.

After asking a few more questions, there was no other gain. Meng Qi stretched out his right hand, placed it on Mei Fei's pulse, emitted true energy, checked her body, and confirmed that she didn't practice and there was nothing wrong.

While pondering, Meng Qi walked out of the room and asked Liu Shengming casually: "Why was the emperor so happy at that time?"

"According to the eunuchs who accompanied him, it was very effective, and the power of transforming all living beings was very good. The emperor was close to a breakthrough." Liu Shengming added this detail that was not recorded in the file.

The emperor's sudden death seemed to be no problem... Meng Qi frowned, ordered the captain Yin Zhang to close the door, and turned into the corridor.

At this moment, he saw a graceful woman in mourning looking at Concubine Mei with hatred in a hidden place. There were several palace maids and eunuchs around her, who must be another concubine.

"Who is this?" Meng Qi's eyes turned to Liu Shengming.

"It's Concubine Hua, who was originally the emperor's favorite, but after she became pregnant, Concubine Mei took advantage of her." Liu Shengming whispered.

"Pregnant?" Meng Qi turned back to look at Concubine Hua.
