The Holy Moon Cult was just a small sect that sold poisons and powders privately and made some money in an unconventional way, and it was not worth paying too much attention to.
As long as we send a few people to collect some evidence of their crimes and put some pressure on the local government, it will only take a few days for such a small sect to be destroyed.
But this Holy Moon Cult actually involves the Liu family...
Feng Ping's face was solemn: "Master, according to Siyun's explanation, the sisters that Young Master Liu sent to the mansions of dignitaries in various states were all trained by the Holy Moon Sect."
When investigating the iron mine, Tianshu Pavilion had already checked the Liu Mansion.
They became rich in a short time, and the first appeared in Sui, Lian, and Chong four years ago. In just four years, Master Liu sent out nearly twenty women, and the officials involved ranged from the governor and commander in charge of the political and military affairs of a state to the county magistrate.
Since they were able to establish the Liu Mansion four years ago, the Holy Moon Sect must have been established for quite some time.
Although he didn't know what they were planning specifically, Qi Xu keenly smelled the danger.
Today, the Holy Moon Cult can support a Liu Mansion, and tomorrow it will be able to support a Li Mansion or a Wang Mansion, using this roundabout way to erode local forces.
The Holy Moon Cult has big ambitions!
The personnel from the cabinet who previously supported the Lianzhou Iron Mine happened to still be in Suizhou, and could be sent to investigate the affairs of the Holy Moon Sect.
Qi Xu was just thinking about it when he heard Wei Yunlan's voice coming from the carriage, "Did something happen?"
When Feng Ping reported Siyun's affairs, he avoided other people and deliberately lowered his voice.
There was no way a third person could hear it.
How did Miss Wei know that something had happened?
Qi Xu turned his head in confusion, and saw a fair jade hand exposed from the opened curtain. Next to that hand, clinging to the window frame, was the Saker Falcon who was specially assigned to deliver messages for the Tianshu Pavilion. Who else could it be?
Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.
Even the Saker Falcon has started to get close to people!
Miss Wei is truly an extraordinary person.
Qi Xu concealed the surprise in his eyes and rode to the carriage. It was Miss Wei who reminded him about Si Yun's matter that caused him to have someone investigate it, so it would be okay to tell Miss Wei.
"Is the Holy Moon Cult related to Si Yun?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yunlan was startled at first, then his expression became serious, "Mr. Xiao, you must investigate the Holy Moon Cult strictly."
Qi Xu looked up, and his deep gaze immediately met Wei Yunlan's eyes.
Glancing at the seriousness in the other person's eyes, Qi Xu replied solemnly: "Okay, thank you Miss Wei for the reminder."
The team continued to move forward, and Feng Ping asked in some confusion: "Master, why do I feel that Miss Wei has been talking to you about everything these past two days?" Aren't they nominally guards under Yu Qi now?
Qi Xu glanced at the carriage and said, "Miss Wei is a smart person. She has already seen it."
It's just that I see through it but don't say it out loud.
Xingzhou is not as prosperous as the previous prefectures we passed through, and it is not even as prosperous as Liangzhou, which was affected by the earth dragon's rise.
After entering Xingzhou, the team could no longer find an inn to stay in every day, and sometimes had to sleep in the wilderness.
Fortunately, the weather is getting colder now, and there are fewer mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the wild. In addition, with the medicinal powder prepared by Doctor Yu, the nights are not so unbearable even if we sleep in the wild.
This was the third day since they left the Land of Heavenly Punishment.
More than two days have passed since we finished interrogating Dong Enbo and left the county town adjacent to the land of heavenly punishment.
During the past two days on the road, Doctor Yu has been studying the medicinal powder he got from Dong Enbo.
He had already figured out most of the poison given to Manager Dong, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicinal ingredients were used in the powder given to the Wei family that was said to only cause hallucinations and fainting.
"Smell it, is the smell of this medicine powder a bit pungent?" Doctor Yu came to Wei Yunlan and others with the medicine powder.
Wei Mingxuan was startled and quickly pushed the paper bag containing the powder further away. "Don't keep getting close to it to smell it. What if you get infected?"
"It's not that easy."
Doctor Yu stroked his gray beard and said, "I have identified five of the herbs here, but I still can't identify the most important one. But I always feel that this smell seems a little familiar. Maybe I am old and my nose is not very useful. Can you help me smell it?"
"Let me smell it." Wei Yunlan took the paper bag and leaned in to sniff it.
It's a burning, slightly scorching smell.
It smells a bit pungent and smells a bit like cooked rotten vegetable leaves.
Wei Yunlan had never known what rotten vegetable leaves smelled like before, until he embarked on the road of exile this time and passed by the areas where refugees gathered in Suizhou, only then did he understand.
"This smell is indeed familiar." Could it be because of the rotten vegetable leaves I smelled before?
Just as she was thinking this, Heiyun suddenly came over and sniffed, then squatted down, kicked the fur near his nose with his hind legs, and then buried his head in the bedding roll that Wei Mingxuan had not yet spread out.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan suddenly said, "I know what this smell is!"
"It's the smell we smelled when we passed through the Land of Heavenly Punishment earlier."
So that's how it is.
Doctor Yu guessed something. "The one ingredient in this powder that I can't identify must be from the Land of Heavenly Punishment."
So, the Holy Moon Cult's headquarters might be near this place of heavenly punishment?
No wonder, their earliest target was Sui, Lian and Chong states, which were not far from Xingzhou.
Just when Wei Yunlan had just suggested that perhaps they could search for the whereabouts of the Holy Moon Sect along the Xingzhou Heavenly Punishment Land, Tianshu Pavilion had not yet had time to take any action.
The three words "Holy Moon Sect" fell into their ears again.
"I heard that the saint has been praying in Xiqi Village for the past two days. If we act quickly, Xiao Yuan might still be saved!" The woman sitting on the carriage, hugging the little girl in her arms, kept urging the driver.
"It's already the fastest. Our ox cart, no matter how fast it goes, can never be faster than other people's horse-drawn carriages!" The driver turned his head and said when he saw several carriages passing by. Seeing the woman's anxious face, he stopped urging her and softened his attitude a little. He asked, "Sister Wang, is the Saint of the Holy Moon Cult really that magical?"
"Suihe, slow down." After hearing the name of the Holy Moon Sect several times in a row, Wei Yunlan is now particularly sensitive to these three words.
Along with the carriage, the horses following beside it also slowed down.
Wei Yunlan lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. The woman was looking down at the little girl in her arms, but she kept saying, "Of course it's amazing."
"No matter what disease or disaster it is, as long as you receive the blessing of the Saint Lady, it will disappear!"
"I heard that people with little luck may not be able to withstand such a great blessing and may even be harmed. However, our Xiao Yuan has such a good appearance and is blessed at first glance. He will definitely be able to withstand the blessing of the Saint Lady. Who knows, he may even be chosen to be a fairy child under the Saint Lady's seat!"
Through the opened curtain, Wei Yunlan and Qi Xu looked at each other.
The two of them made the exit gesture almost at the same time.
"Cult!"
