The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1876: Chapter 1876: Uneasy Mind (4)

However, Jiu E is now behaving very cleverly and discreetly, given that this is someone else’s territory. Moreover, even though two eagles were sent back consecutively, unfortunately, there was no news in return. It felt as though he had been forgotten by his own country.

More seriously, he now has no money, not even a personal seal, so he has to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he might have to return by begging, though returning is not guaranteed.

Of course, there is another important point: that personal seal contains a deposit. If someone were to discover it... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, at this time, he and his two subordinates stood at the back with their heads lowered, showing no intention of stepping forward. Since he was only brought in to assist in finding a thief, he would not speak unless called upon. The more one knows, the faster one dies—he understood this principle long ago.

The more one flaunts, the quicker they meet their downfall—this was a lesson he only learned after arriving in the Xuan Dynasty.

Gu Qingheng stepped forward and said, ”Master Jiang, this matter is no trivial thing. If only Chief of Staff Gu is informed, I fear by then...” He paused, ”Furthermore, this involves the entire Xiangshui Nunnery. Now it seems this nunnery is nothing but a scam, yet so many people previously followed it. This is desecrating the Buddhist spirit...”

Master Jiang shivered instantly. How could he have forgotten, although the previous dynasty’s Imperial Family devoutly believed in Taoism, Emperor Gaozu, during his uprising, received the help of many monks from the Dahuguo Temple. Thus, Buddhism was established as the state religion in this dynasty. Moreover, the current Empress Dowager, who is also his cousin, is a devout Buddhist. Yet, now this Xiangshui Nunnery... it tarnishes Buddhism, desecrates the divine, this is...

If Gu Sheng wanted him to help conceal this and he refused, he would be openly offending the other party. However, now he wasn’t even sure of the other party’s identity...

Luckily, Gu Qingheng gave him a reminder. Besides, he only glanced; who knows who is inside?

Hence, this matter cannot be resolved by merely informing Gu Sheng. It must be reported. He then turned and left, ”Bring everyone here back to the city and seal this place.”

Initially, it was thought to be just a matter of promiscuity. But unexpectedly, in a courtyard at the back, a cellar was discovered. The cellar not only stored a large amount of gold and silver but also housed some weapons, numbering in the thousands. This is intolerable!

Master Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Is Xiangshui Nunnery planning a rebellion?

Luckily, he wasn’t foolish earlier. He must write a report upon returning. This is not a simple case of promiscuity.

If things go wrong, it could implicate nine generations.

Gu Sheng was somewhat restless all day, feeling as if something was about to happen. Therefore, when he found that there was nothing pressing at the Governor’s Office, he returned early, only to be informed that his wife had gone to Xiangshui Nunnery to request Talisman Water.

Aunt Shui even praised Zou Qiuyue for her filial piety.

Gu Sheng initially thought the same, as Talisman Water from Xiangshui Nunnery still held significant esteem among the populace. However, he found himself increasingly uneasy.

Finally, by dusk, the coachman who went out with Zou Qiuyue returned, looking disheveled: ”Master, it’s not good, madam has encountered trouble...”

In the Public Security Bureau of the military forces in Beijing, Deng Da, due to being arrested, had been badly beaten, and was detained in a separate cell. However, despite the ordeal, he appeared relatively unscathed on the outside and was still conscious—this was the work of Gu Qiao and Mark.
