Chapter 275 Close Relatives
Xiao Lingfeng was very surprised.
He never expected that the Du Sheng Sect had such a connection with his family.
Thinking of the hexagram calculated by the Taoist priest, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xixi.
At this time, Xiao Xixi was still sleeping, and she was unaware of what was happening around her.
Luo Qinghan spoke coldly at this time.
"What's the name of that wandering Taoist priest?"
Xue hesitated for a moment before saying, "His Taoist name is Mingdeng Zhenren."
"What's your real name?"
Mrs. Xue shook her head: "I don't know."
Luo Qinghan: "Tell me the temple where you, the followers of the Dusheng Sect, worship."
Xue bit her lip and still refused to say anything.
Xiao Lingfeng urged, "Even if he really has some ability, so what? Are you going to go to jail for someone who has nothing to do with you? Don't you think about me and the children?"
Xue said painfully, "It is for the sake of the children that I cannot expose Master Ming Deng."
"What do you mean by that?"
Xue said with red eyes, "I took Xiaolan's birth date and time to Master Mingdeng and asked him to tell her fortune. He said that Xiaolan should have had a smooth life, but because of her sister who was an evil star, Xiaolan's fate has changed. Only with Master Mingdeng's help can Xiaolan's fate return to normal, otherwise Xiaolan will suffer a bloody disaster or even die a violent death."
Xiao Lingfeng couldn't believe it: "There is such a thing? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I want to tell you, but every time I mention the Dusheng Sect, you look disdainful and don't believe what I say at all."
Xiao Lingfeng was speechless.
He had always believed that the Du Sheng Sect was just a fake sect and never imagined that there were other secrets hidden in it.
Xue knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I just can't. If I leave the Dusheng Sect, my little daughter will be doomed!"
Luo Qinghan just felt that this scene was extremely absurd.
They would rather believe a stranger than their own daughter.
Luo Qinghan quickly thought of himself again. How similar was his situation to Xiao Xixi's?
They all have close relatives.
But the ones who hurt them the most are their closest relatives.
Luo Qinghan involuntarily raised his right hand and put his arm around Xiao Xixi's waist.
He glanced down at Xiao Xixi and saw that she was still sleeping soundly, not affected by the sounds around her at all.
When he raised his head again, his eyes had returned to being cold.
"Ms. Xue, I will give you one last chance. If you refuse to tell the truth, I will have to ask you to go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice."
Xue immediately burst into tears: "Your Highness, you can't treat me like this!"
Xiao Lingfeng also pleaded: "Please, Prince, please show mercy!"
Luo Qinghan was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and gave the order directly.
"Shang Kui, take Xue to the Ministry of Justice's jail and have them interrogate her thoroughly."
Shang Kui strode in and reached out to pull Xue.
When Xiao Lingfeng saw that the prince was actually serious about it, his heart tightened.
He quickly grabbed Xue's arm and demanded, "If you go to jail, how can the children and I go out and see people in the future? Tell me everything you know first, and we can think of a way to deal with Xiao Lan later. Anyway, Master Mingdeng is there, he can't get away!"
When he said the last sentence, he was almost angry and his eyes were a little red.
Xue was in a state of panic and when he heard this, he felt that it made some sense.
If Master Mingdeng is arrested, the General Zhongwu's Mansion can use his help to plead for him in exchange for Master Mingdeng's conversion of Xiaolan.
Xue wiped away her tears and choked up, "The Dusheng Sect's worship center is in Huhua Alley in the west of the city. Go down the alley and it's the small courtyard at the end."
Luo Qinghan glanced at Shang Kui.
Shang Kui understood and immediately took two hundred Yulin Guards and headed straight for the west of the city.
The round trip took more than an hour.
When Shang Kui came back, the sun had already set outside.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, I have found that courtyard and arrested everyone inside."
Luo Qinghan asked: "Is Master Mingdeng in there?"
"Not here."
Luo Qinghan: "Send those people to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. I don't care what methods they use. I must catch the Dusheng Sect in one day!"
"I obey your command!"
Shang Kui stood up and strode away from the Dong family.
He and the Yulin Guards took the members of the Dusheng Sect to the Ministry of Justice prison.
Xue and Xiao Lingfeng were sent back to the general's mansion.
It was already dark by then.
Luo Qinghan gently pushed the woman who was still sleeping soundly beside him.
"Wake up, it's dark, don't sleep anymore!"
Xiao Xixi woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and asked in a muffled voice, "Have you found Mrs. Dong?"
Luo Qinghan: "No."
Xiao Xixi was very surprised: "Did I make a mistake? That shouldn't be the case. I have never made a mistake before."
"The Yulin Guards arrived a step too late, and those people ran away."
Xiao Xixi frowned: "That's really unfortunate, how about I tell Madam Dong's fortune?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her slightly pale face and said calmly, "No need. I have already found clues about the Dusheng Cult and should be able to find Madam Dong soon."
Xiao Xixi seized the opportunity to flatter like crazy.
"Really? Your Highness is amazing! You found the clue so quickly. You are truly a wise and brave prince. I admire you so much!"
Luo Qinghan's head hurt because of her praise.
"Shut up and say less. There are people watching us."
Only then did Xiao Xixi realize that Dong Mingchun was still sitting next to her.
Dong Mingchun immediately stood up and said, "It will be time for dinner soon. Your Highness and the Queen can stay at my house for dinner. I will have dinner prepared right away."
Luo Qinghan: "No need, I will go back to the palace now."
Dong Mingchun tried to persuade the prince to stay again and again but failed, and could only watch helplessly as he sent them out of the house.
The carriage carried the prince and Xiao Xixi to the palace.
Xiao Xixi had slept for the whole afternoon and didn't want to sleep for the time being. She looked at the prince eagerly and pleaded.
"It's a rare opportunity for us to leave the palace, can we go to the night market?"
The curfew in Shengjing City was implemented after midnight. Before midnight, people were still allowed to go out, so there was a night market in the city.
The night market is located on Pingyang Street in the south of the city. It is not far away and can be reached quickly by horse carriage.
Xiao Xixi heard that there were a lot of delicious food at the night market. She was very greedy and wanted to go for a walk.
Luo Qinghan originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of what Xiao Lingfeng and Xue said, he softened his heart.
Xiao Xixi clearly has parents, but it’s as if she doesn’t have them.
He thought, since her parents didn't love her, he would love her more.
Luo Qinghan said, "You can go and take a look, but you must stay close to me and don't run around."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will listen to you!"
