As soon as Master Wang closed his eyes, he thought of his high platform diving experience. It was so unbearable to look back. He let out a long sigh and said:

"It can only be said that Zhuzi is not very resourceful. It would be a mistake to place our hopes on him."

"Alas..." Leader Zhang also sighed dejectedly, sat down on the edge of the kang, and asked depressedly: "Then what should we do now? Without the banner of King Qi as a tiger skin, wouldn't we ourselves be nothing more than vegetables? ?”

"Yes, the defeat has been decided." Leader Wang nodded, and although he was embarrassed, he still said calmly: "After Lao Liu has captured the King of Qi and mastered the strength of Shandong Dusi, the next step will be to show us the butcher's knife. There is no point in holding on at this time, it will only be a waste of sacrifice for the brothers. "

"Then what does Master mean?" Leader Zhang had already guessed the result and squeezed the juice out of the lion's head in his hand.

"Immediately pass on my decree and issue dormancy orders to all religions, so that the believers should immediately evacuate the city and county and go to the countryside to escape the limelight." Master Wang said solemnly: "The government is eager to restore peace as soon as possible. At most, they will arrest a few unlucky ones. If there are Just explain, there won’t be any extraneous matters.”

"Yes, what happens next?" Leader Zhang asked unwillingly.

"Then let's do what we have to do." Leader Wang stood up slowly and said calmly: "Treat the common people's diseases, drive away evil spirits, and live a normal life."

"After two years of hard work with Master, how can I live a normal life?" Leader Zhang said somewhat defensively: "I can't go back!"

"If you can't go back, you have to go back." Master Wang said without looking back: "In our business, we must always go with the trend, not against it. When we see an opportunity, we will jump without hesitation. Come out and exchange the strength you have accumulated for many years for a grand performance. When the opportunity is gone, we have to hibernate and re-accumulate our strength and wait for the next opportunity.”

"Will there be another chance? Master!" Leader Zhang asked.

"Of course there will be." Leader Wang turned around and smiled at him: "A dog will never change from eating shit, and the powerful will definitely bully the people. Even if someone can control them for a while, they will not be able to control them for the rest of their lives. Then we can do justice for heaven again.”

As he said that, he waved his hands and said, "I don't have to worry about things here as long as you are here. I will go to Laizhou to meet your senior brothers again. If we say goodbye this time, I am afraid we will never see each other again."

"Master, can you at least have a meal before leaving?" Leader Zhang asked again: "Can you not try the garlic dumplings when you come to Anqiu?"

"That's fine." Leader Wang nodded happily. It was appropriate to have a breakup meal. Besides, he was really hungry.

After the Sixth Prince unexpectedly captured King Qi, the riots in various prefectures and counties in Shandong quickly subsided. The believers from various sects who started the trouble just as suddenly appeared without warning, they disappeared en masse without warning.

This violent Shandong civil uprising came to an end in less than half a month from its beginning...

As for whether he should investigate the mastermind later and severely crack down on the sects involved, that was not his concern. Now he just wants to finish investigating King Qi's case quickly so that he can do business.

Moreover, the case of King Qi is much more complicated than that of King Lu. First of all, King Qi became a vassal earlier than King Lu. In addition, King Lu was actually focused on enjoying himself. Apart from the major case of arresting boys, he did not commit many fatal cases. Therefore, Zhu Zhen only needs to focus on one case and leave other cases to others.

But King Qi was different. No matter the number of victims, nor the severity and complexity of the case, King Lu could not compare with him.

Within just a few days of the announcement, thousands of victims came forward to seek justice, and most of them were murder cases. The most outrageous thing is that among the victims there are actually serious officials of the imperial court such as commanders and prefects...

Even if only a prefect was killed, it would be a shocking case in any dynasty.

Among the officials suspected of being killed by King Qi, there were actually five commanders with higher status... It was simply unheard of and unparalleled.

This forced Zhu Zhen to cheer up, carefully investigate each case, and give an explanation to the families of the victims and the world.

However, just when he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight, bad news came from the capital - Concubine Guo Ning actually committed suicide in order to save Lao Shi's life. Queen Ma also fell ill...

After hearing the bad news, Zhu Zhen felt bad on the spot. He stopped the interrogation and locked himself in the room. He did not eat or drink for the whole day and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

Seeing that the food box that was brought out was not moved at all, Eleven and Twelve were anxious and sad. The two of them sighed and stood outside Sixth Brother's door, whispering to apologize for his injustice.

"What's going on? This is all! In Father's imperial edict, why didn't he mention the matter of the more than two thousand boys? It just said vaguely that 'folk children will be played in the palace and will be released after three to five days. Some of them will be castrated. "For the fire!" Old Twelve said extremely angrily:

"This is too evasive!"

"Maybe it's because the truth is too shocking, for the sake of the royal family's face, and to save Lao Shi's life." Lao Eleven guessed: "Now that the children have been rescued, my father will hide this part."

"Then we have to mention it! Didn't Sixth Brother save the child?" Lao Twelve said angrily: "In this way, the world will not know the real crime of Tenth Brother, and will think that Sixth Brother is making a fuss!"

"Because Concubine Ning is dead." Old Eleven said softly: "If Father announces the truth, how can he leave a way for Old Eleven to survive? So I can only wrong Brother Six..."

"Damn it! Brother Six obviously did nothing wrong, so why did he become a bad guy in the end?" Old Twelve beat his chest angrily: "Brother Six didn't even want to come here, it was Father who forced him to come!"

"Of course Sixth Brother is not a bad person!" Old Eleven said firmly: "We have been by the side the whole time and have the most say. Sixth Brother just did what he should do. No one with any conscience can say anything about him Not even half a sentence!”

"That's right, whether it's the seventh brother or the tenth brother, the sixth brother has given them enough opportunities, but they don't cherish it!" Lao Twelve gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "No, I want to write a letter to vent the evil anger on the sixth brother's behalf!"

"Yes, we want to expose Brother Ten's true crime to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. We cannot let Brother Six bleed, sweat and shed tears!" Old Eleven nodded heavily, turned around and went to the study with Old Twelve to start the investigation!

"Stop." At this time, the door behind opened and Zhu Zhen's voice sounded.

"Brother Six!" Eleven Twelve quickly turned back and looked at their Brother Six. "You opened the door, but you made us worried."

"Don't worry, I can neither imitate the eighth nor the tenth child." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "On the other hand, you are not allowed to mess around, do you hear me?"

"Brother Six!" The two of them became anxious upon hearing this: "Are you going to let others misunderstand you?!"
