    Gao Qiu had just written a letter to the Minister of Justice when he saw Dang Shiying return.

    Looking at Dang Shiying who looked ashamed, Gao Qiu could not help but frown and said: "The thief is dead?"

    Dang Shiying lowered his head and said: "The general is incompetent and the thief has escaped."

    Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong are Gao Qiu's close generals. They are both brave and diligent in daily affairs.

    Gao Qiu didn't have much doubt about the abilities of the two men, and asked curiously: "How did the thief escape?"

    Dang Shiying reported: "When the thief saw that the river was blocked, he jumped into the water. I was afraid that he would run away from the other side, so I sent some soldiers who knew the water to catch him. Unexpectedly, the thief did not come ashore.  It was just a man who stabbed the officer who went into the water. Within a moment, he killed more than 20 people who went into the water. Later, when the navy caught up, he was too afraid to go into the water. "

    Gao Qiu didn¡¯t expect that after a land expert emerged from Daxiangguo Temple, there was also an expert in the water. He couldn¡¯t help frowning and said: "Then he has to come ashore. You can wait until he comes ashore before catching him."

    Dang Shiying thought of the strangeness, but still looked confused and said: "The general also thought so and led his people to guard the shore. However, the thief killed for a while and saw that no one went into the water, so he dived into the water and disappeared. I took him  People searched the shore for several miles but found no trace of him. It happened that ten ships carrying Hua Shigang were about to enter the city, and the general did not dare to stop them, so he let the river go. "

    When Gao Qiu heard that he had encountered the ship transporting Hua Shi Gang, he could only shake his head helplessly.

    In recent years, the Holy Emperor has been particularly fond of Huashi. Zhu Meng, who was responsible for the Huashi Gang, was more favored than these old ministers. Almost all the officials in the southeast came from Zhu Meng's family.  Zhu Meng was favored by the Holy Spirit, but he was also arrogant and domineering. Not to mention him, even Cai Jing did not dare to intercept the ships transporting Hua Shi Gang when he was in power.

    "It's a pity that the thief escaped. Otherwise, when he was caught, he would have been able to trace the thief's traces."

    Thinking of the helpless situation, Gao Qiu also waved his hand and said: "I didn't expect that thief to be so good at water. Okay, you can go down first."

    Seeing that Gao Qiu did not blame him, Dang Shiying hurriedly said goodbye gratefully.

    Gao Qiu had no intention of doing anything else, so he had tea and waited in the festival hall.  About an hour later, the disciple came to report that an official from the Ministry of Punishment wanted to see him.

    Gao Qiu was waiting for a reply from the official of the Ministry of Punishments and hurriedly asked someone to bring him in.

    Not long after, a capable official came in.

    Gao Qiu didn't wait for him to salute and said, "How? What can you find out?"

    "Your Excellency, I asked some monks at the Daxiangguo Temple, but the courtyard was occupied by a monk named Deng Yuanjue and five people. Deng Yuanjue once studied Buddhism at the Daxiangguo Temple and was a monk in the temple.  They are familiar with each other. They have been renting the courtyard for many days. According to the monks in the temple, the group of people all have Jiangnan accents. They only said that they came to Tokyo for fun, but they rarely left the temple in the past few days. Today, three groups of people have come to look for them.  They gathered together. I asked some of the imperial soldiers who were fighting in the temple, and I heard that some of them spoke with Jingdong accents, Hedong accents, and Huaixi accents."

    Gao Qiu was shocked when he heard about Hedong and Huaixi. Tian Hu in Hedong and Wang Qing in Huaixi were both attacking cities and territories. However, in order for the court to decide on joining the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, everyone worked together to suppress the matter.

    In their view, Tian Hu and Wang Qing are just two grass bandits. Even if they are allowed to toss for a few years, they will not achieve much success. However, if they are placed in the court, they will be opposed by those who oppose the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao.  It was used to make a fuss, so they tried their best to suppress it.

    "If it is really them, then the people who conspired are probably giant bandits. The biggest bandit in Jingdong is Liangshan, and I don't know who is from Jiangnan."

    If there really were people from Liangshan, it must have been the Liangshan thieves who abducted his son, not Tian Hu. The man driving the boat also spoke with a Jingdong accent. It seems that there is still resentment between these thieves.  However, Lin Chong was the leader of Liangshan. If his son fell into the hands of the Liangshan bandits, his life would be at risk.  The people from Liangshan kidnapped their son, probably so that Lin Chong could take revenge with his own hands.

    It has been several years since Gao Qiu adopted Gao Yanei. Although Gao Yanei usually did evil things and caused him a lot of trouble, he was raised as his son after all, and his relationship is still very deep. Otherwise, he would not have harmed Lin Chong for Gao Yanei in the first place.

    Thinking that we might be separated forever from now on, my vision went dark, and I shook my body, holding on to the table to keep from falling.

    Seeing this, the official from the Ministry of Punishment quickly asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay?"

    Gao Qiu closed his eyes to calm down, waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    But Gao Qiu also knew that he was just doing his best. If his son really fell into the hands of the Liangshan thieves, even if he captured the Liangshan thieves, he might only get his body back.

    Gao QiuI sent someone to pass the letter, but saw that the officials from the Ministry of Justice were still waiting below. I thought for a while and then said: "Where do you speculate on the origins of Deng Yuanjue and his group? Don't be afraid of being wrong. This is not a court. Tell us what you think."  "

    Seeing Gao Qiu¡¯s friendly appearance, the official took courage and said, ¡°Those people like to wear white clothes and seem to have some religious rituals. We speculate that they may be Manichaeans from the south of the Yangtze River.¡±

    After hearing this, Gao Qiu couldn't help but wonder: "Manichaeans? I heard that the person who assassinated the grand master's son in Jiangzhou was also a Manichae, right?"

    The assassination of Cai Jiu was initially treated as a major case by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it was later dismissed after Cai Jing resigned as prime minister.

    This official from the Ministry of Punishment also knew about Cai Jiu, and said: "Well, the people in Jiangzhou who wore white clothes and black hats must be Manichaeans, but Deng Yuanjue and his group only wore white clothes, maybe because they were afraid of being caught by the government. They only wore white clothes.  If you're wearing white clothes, you won't be that eye-catching."

    Gao Qiu nodded and said, "I heard that the Manichaeans formed secret societies in the south of the Yangtze River and developed many believers. Do you know their details?"

    "I heard that Manichaeism has many followers. In order to avoid being noticed, they call it Manichaeism in Jiangnan, Mingjiao in Fujian, Erjuezi in Huainan, Siguo, Vajra Chan in Jinghu Road, and Jiedi Zhai in Fujian.  , but those worshiped are all Mingshi, and they should be from the same sect.¡±

    When Gao Qiu heard that there were so many Manichaeans scattered across so many roads, he couldn't help but panic, and immediately asked someone to prepare horses and go to Liang Shicheng's mansion.

    When Liang Shicheng heard that Gao Qiu asked for an audience, he asked someone to let him in.

    Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng met with each other and told him everything about today's events in Daxiangguo Temple and his speculations.

    Liang Shicheng was shocked when he heard that so many bandits came to Tokyo, and scolded: "How do you control the imperial army? You let so many thieves sneak into the city and kill many people. Even your son was kidnapped."  . Tokyo is so unsafe, is it possible for me to live in the palace again?¡±

    Hearing this, Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord. I will have people inside and outside the capital be closely investigated. If there are any thieves who dare to stay in the city, they will not be able to escape the capture of the imperial guards. I will send some elite imperial guards to protect your safety."

    Seeing Gao Qiu's frightened look, Liang Shicheng didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he nodded and said, "I'll do as you say. We must not let the thieves cause trouble in the city again, otherwise I won't be able to protect you by then."  ¡±

    Gao Qiu said hurriedly: "Yes, sir, don't worry. It's just that the thieves have made a deal with thousands of people in Daxiangguo Temple, and the whole city has spread the news. I'm afraid someone will make trouble in the court tomorrow, so please be careful on your behalf."

    Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "I will let Wang Fu and others evade it for you. Since the princes and ministers have not been hurt, it doesn't matter. It's just that your son has been kidnapped. You must not mess up and let others take advantage of it."

    Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir. I will deal with it impartially. I only caught the thieves in Daxiangguo Temple. I will leave the dog's safety to fate."

    Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "That's good, well, if you have nothing to do, go back first. Our family also needs to enter the palace. Let's have a chat with the Holy One first, so as not to make the Holy Lord Long Yan angry in the court tomorrow."

    Gao Qiu thought for a while and said, "My lord, wait a moment."

    "Is there anything else?"

    "If Tian Hu from Hedong, Wang Qing from Huaixi, Chao Gai from Jingdong and the Manichaeans from Jiangnan cause chaos together, I'm afraid the damage will be huge. We need to make preparations in advance."

    After hearing this, Liang Shicheng frowned and said: "I know about Liangshan Chao Gai. They previously robbed Gaotang Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture. I sent Guan Sheng to destroy them. I don't want the whole army to be wiped out. I think there are many thieves in Liangshan. But Tian Hu and Wang Qing  Didn¡¯t you say they were just two bandits? Why should the court be on guard against them?¡±

    Gao Qiu glanced at Liang Shicheng carefully and said, "Tian Hu and Wang Qing have each held tens of thousands of people hostage. If they start a riot together, I'm afraid the local state capital will not be able to resist it."

    When Liang Shicheng heard this, he couldn't help but became furious. He picked up a tea cup from the table and threw it at Gao Qiu, cursing: "These are the two little grass bandits you told me. Our family serves the emperor every day, so you are like this  You deceive me like this. There are tens of thousands of people. The two of them together make up a hundred thousand people. How many people can you take care of? If they are just small bandits, who do you think they are?"

    Although Gao Qiu was a prince and was favored by the emperor, he still could not compare with Liang Shicheng's status. After Cai Jing became an official, Liang Shicheng could decide ten of the affairs of the DPRK.

    Apart from having sex, the romantic emperor also loved calligraphy and painting. He occasionally went to court, and the time was not long. It was difficult for ordinary ministers to meet the emperor, so they could only hand in documents. However, Liang Shicheng was responsible for conveying imperial edicts to the outside world.  No one can tell whether this imperial edict is true or false, and no one dares to question it. As time goes by, no one dares to disobey Master Liang.

    Gao Qiu was also afraid that one day he would receive the imperial edict of condemnation and would commit suicide.He didn't dare to dodge, and was immediately drenched by the uneaten tea in the tea cup. He hurriedly said: "It's really not that I want to hide it from you. It's because Wang Fu and Tong Guan were afraid that they would miss the chance to join the Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao Dynasty, so they didn't allow it."  Please tell me the truth, sir."

    When Liang Shicheng heard that it was Wang Fu's idea, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted loudly for someone to call Wang Fu.

    Wang Fu was originally from Cai Jing and then from Liang Shicheng. He treated Liang Shicheng like a son to his father and called him "Mr. Enfu". Liang Shicheng was recently planning to give him the position of prime minister.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
