Yinding turned the person in his hand over, revealing his entire face.

Huo Changhe recognized him at a glance. This was the little Taoist priest described by Huo Zhongmao. Although he was not wearing Taoist clothes, there was no mistaking his face.

Huo Changhe's mind suddenly became clear.

This situation is not difficult to solve at all.

On the one hand, they sent people to Xicheng District to find an abandoned old house, wrote "Red Lotus Sect" on it, and caused panic and discussion among the people, which was actually to expand the influence;

At the same time, the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes went to the governor's office to find Governor Cao and predicted something about the Sky-Swallowing Land and Mudong's House, and told them the hiding place of the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect.

Then, Governor Cao sent people to arrest them and caught them red-handed.

When they returned to the city, there were so many people coming in a mighty procession. They arranged a few people at the city gate or on the way to add fuel to the fire and exclaim in amazement about how magical the Goddess of Heaven's Eye was and how accurate her predictions were.

At this point, the image of the Goddess of Heaven's Eye has been completely established.

After that, no matter what she said or did, the people would believe it without a doubt.

By then, the Goddess of Heaven's Eye will be the second leader of the Red Lotus Sect.

Huo Changhe sneered, and Yinding hissed, "Your Majesty, is this what the abbot said... a routine?"

"That's right," Huo Changhe nodded, "Don't let him wake up yet, let's go back to the city first."

"Yes."

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "Also, suppress the news. Find a way to keep this matter in this courtyard and don't let the people spread it around."

Yinding blinked his eyes and said, "Your Highness, just now there were archery, signal arrows, and fighting. This was quite a commotion. I'm afraid..."

Huo Changhe interrupted and said, "The telescope that the princess had last time can see very far at night. Do you want it?"

Yinding said without hesitation: "Yes."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely handle this matter properly!"

"But, my lord, I need to borrow someone from you."

"can."

Half an hour later.

Sun Dong beat a small gong, and Yin Ding held a small trumpet, and they started to wander around the village.

"Dear fellow villagers, I have been away from home for many years. Thank you for your concern for my father. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I have specially prepared a play and set up a stage in the south of the village. Please come and join in the fun!"

The villagers usually have nothing to do. They are busy with work during the day and go to bed early at night. They only go to the city to buy or sell during festivals or special occasions.

If there was a circus or opera troupe, they would have to be from a wealthy family in the village, and they would only come if they gritted their teeth when there was a happy event in their family.

Therefore, when everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

"Sun Dong, why are you willing to hire a troupe? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Sun Dong smiled and said, "It won't cost much. I met the troupe when I was doing business. Now they don't have any work, so I'll charge half price."

"I'm leaving soon, so I just want to invite everyone to have some fun. Second aunt, third aunt, you all have to come."

"Come, come, definitely come."

"I was wondering why I heard some crackling and screaming in your house just now. It seems like you were performing an opera."

Yinding was trying not to laugh, and Sun Dong nodded: "Yes, that's right, Fifth Aunt, you guessed it right, you are still so wise."

"Sun Dong, what are you holding in your hand? Why are you talking so loudly?"

Yinding thought to himself, what a novelty! If there wasn’t this speaker and it wasn’t so loud, would it be able to drown out your voices?

They wandered around the village and quickly suppressed the matter.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu had almost finished their questions, and the corpse and the scene had been cleaned up.

According to Sun's father, after the people from the Red Lotus Sect came to his house, they did nothing except lock them in a dark room in the cellar and scare them with words.

It just felt like they were looking for something, because every now and then, a few people in their group would disappear, then come back a few days later and a few others would disappear.

It is also rumored that treasure hunters came to the mountains and forests south of this place and said they saw some treasure. Of course, nothing came of it in the end.

Yan Ruyu kept these in mind, and Yinding and Sun Dong also came back.

Sun Dong was a little worried: "Prince, Princess, the news has spread, and the villagers have taken it seriously, but I can't find the troupe for the time being."

"That's fine. I'll make the arrangements when the time comes," Yinding said. "Xiaolan should go and report the news early. The troupe will be here in the evening."

Huo Changhe doesn't worry about these things, the silver ingots will definitely be obtained.

The silver ingots were left behind. Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu tied up the three captives tightly, gagged them, and threw them onto a flatbed truck they had found. They covered the truck with other things so that you couldn't tell there were people on it at all.

As for the little Taoist priest who was caught by Yinding, he was still unconscious. Yan Ruyu asked Yinding to tie him up and tie him under the carriage.

If he woke up, he would see nothing but the dirt road passing by.

It made him dizzy.

In addition to the eyes, even the ears and mouth are blocked.

Yinding swallowed his saliva quietly - the princess is quite cruel.

However, this trick is indeed good.

This guy deserves it!

If these so-called prophecies are all man-made, then the same goes for Huo Zhongmao being seriously injured.

This guy's shadow was present before and after the incident.

When Yin Ding thought of Huo Zhongmao who was still lying there unable to move, he became furious and felt that not treating this guy the same was too light a punishment.

All the captured people were packed up and the injured constables were bandaged.

Everything was ready, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu took them back to the city.

The detectives were all in plain clothes. This time they were disbanded and reorganized into a team. As soon as they came out of the village, they walked together with some caravans, pedestrians and the like on the road.

People who are not aware of the situation would never think that they are a group of detectives.

The detectives can just go into the city directly, and leave the tasks of surveillance and spotting suspicious people on the road to Huo Changhe's secret guards.

Huo Changhe had discussed with Yan Ruyu long ago that, in addition to this little Taoist priest, there must be other people on the way into the city. They were just waiting to catch the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect and then spread the news to make the people believe in the predictive ability of the Goddess of the Sky Eye.

What they wanted to do on this trip was not only to disrupt their plans, but also to capture them.

"There are quite a lot of people on the road today," Huo Changhe whispered, "I guess many of them are waiting to see the show."

"Then let them perform and we'll watch," Yan Ruyu smiled slyly, "Your Majesty, I have a good idea."

"What's the idea?"

Yan Ruyu turned around to look at the secret guard not far behind her. Huo Changhe made a gesture and the secret guard urged him to come forward.

"My Lord, my Princess, what do you want me to do?"

Yan Ruyu whispered a few words, and Huo Changhe listened, trying not to laugh. The secret guard was a little confused at first, then surprised, and finally tried not to laugh either.

"Yes, don't worry, Princess. We will definitely get it done."

He turned around and went back, whispering a few words to the two secret guards beside him. The three of them stopped with a smile, picked up the reins of their horses, and turned to the grove on the side of the road.

After a while, he found a few large branches, like big brooms, and tied them to the horse's tail with a rope.

As the horses moved forward, branches passed by the ground, kicking up some dust, and from a distance, it looked like the three men were running as many as thirty people.

Not far ahead, we will reach the city gate.

There are also some vendors selling things on the roadside with carts.

Yan Ruyu glanced and looked at one.
