The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 45

The maid Ruifang's native place in the palace roster is Baoding, which is not far from the capital.But when the governor of Baoding sent someone to arrest her family, he found that all her family members in the countryside had disappeared mysteriously.

Naturally, this situation has already been reported back to the capital, which attracted the attention of Yin Shuntian and others.This means that the palace maid Ruifang has more secrets behind her. If these secrets can be found out, perhaps the truth of this witchcraft case can be uprooted!
For more than a month, the governor of Baoding dispatched a lot of people to find the whereabouts of Ruifang's family.In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, new news came from Baoding Mansion.

It's not that I really found those family members in Ruifang, but I found out that their family had problems when they settled down in the countryside.

The family's surname is Bai, and it is said that they moved to Baoding from Henan Province after being hit by floods.When women from good families were selected to enter the palace, outsiders like Ruifang were not eligible to be selected.At that time, the eldest daughter of the Lizheng family was chosen, and Lizheng was reluctant to send her daughter to the palace to endure hardships. At this time, the Bai family found Lizheng, and asked Ruifang to take the place on the grounds that the family was too large to provide a dowry for their daughter. .

Li Zheng went in without knowing it, and he readily accepted it, and helped the Bai family to make a fake household registration, proving that they were natives of the village, so Ruifang was also eligible to enter the palace.

This time, Li Zheng couldn't escape accountability for the accident.

Baoding Mansion issued an official letter asking people from Henan Mansion to investigate the origins of this family, but it turned out that the Bai family was not on the household registration of Henan Mansion at all.They were lying in the first place!
What is this family plotting after deliberately hiding in the countryside for more than ten years?
The governor of Baoding did not dare to hide it, and quickly sent the latest progress to the capital.

The pillars of King Cheng's lineage in the court are the two big bosses of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs.After they got the news from Baoding Mansion, they immediately mobilized all available manpower, trying to dig out this family as if they were in heaven.

Things have developed to this point, but it is beneficial to King Cheng!
As long as it is proved that Bai Ruifang planned to enter Beijing many years in advance, most of the suspicion of King Cheng will be cleared.More than ten years ago, King Cheng was still a teenager, so how could he have the ability to arrange people to carry out deep ambush?
There is a saying that the emperor pays off those who have a heart, and hard work will pay off. This time, the people of the Chengwang line are desperately trying to save their master and save themselves by the way.

Finally, another identity of the Bai family surfaced——

They did not enter Baoding Mansion from Henan Mansion, but from Northern Xinjiang.Through the cross-examination and investigation of the neighbors who had been in contact with this family for more than ten years, all kinds of clues were dug out.Based on many evidences, the Bai family is very likely to be a remnant of the Destiny Sect!

"Destiny religion?"

When Yun Ruochen heard this name from his father's mouth, for some reason, his eyebrows twitched, and he had a very bad feeling.

"Yes." Prince Jing smiled wryly, and said, "If she is really a follower of the Destiny Sect, then... well."

Old Gu Ge came to visit in a hurry that day, King Jing was very depressed after hearing the new news, so his daughter followed him to ask him about the progress of the case, so he discussed it with her without much hesitation.

After a long period of subtle influence on Yun Ruochen, his father finally got used to talking about court affairs with her from time to time.Otherwise, how would she, a child who doesn't leave the door and never steps out, grasp what's going on outside.

"Father, are you saying that if she is really a member of the Destiny Sect, then...then she wouldn't be sent by Uncle Cheng?"

Yun Ruochen's voice was very low, but he spoke directly.Prince Jing was taken aback by her straightforwardness, but that was what he thought in his heart, so he could only make a vague "huh".After thinking about it, he added another sentence worriedly: "Kids, don't talk nonsense."

"Daughter knows." Yun Ruochen responded as if nothing had happened, but continued to whisper in a low voice without any remorse: "But father, Chen'er doesn't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

"I don't understand this matter, why is it not one or two?"

Her words made Prince Jing confused. "What did you say?"

"Chen'er means... why is Ruifang not a member of Uncle Cheng if she is a member of Tianming Cult?"

"Oh."

King Jing understood, and could only patiently explain to Yun Ruochen what kind of organization the Destiny Sect was.

Speaking of the Destiny Sect, its history is even longer than that of the Daqing Dynasty.

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang returned from Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and after Buddhism began to popularize in the Central Plains, various sects followed.The Destiny Sect is a small sect branched from a certain branch of Buddhism.

The Destiny Sect believes in the Virgin Mary. At the beginning, it believed that the poor and low-level people could save the people from suffering, and quickly absorbed many folk believers.Different from ordinary peaceful sects, Tianmingjiao often combines with powerful forces in many places, and whenever times are troubled, it joins in the struggle for imperial power.

However, over the past several hundred years, the forces supported by the Destiny Cult have always fallen short of the highest power, and ended in failure every time.It was rumored that Daqing Taizu had also dealt with the Destiny Sect, but later turned against him for unknown reasons, and after succeeding to the throne, Taizu also pursued the Destiny Sect fiercely, and almost wiped out all the power of this sect.

After several strikes by the Daqing Dynasty, there are not many remaining Tianming believers, at least basically extinct in the Central Plains.The only surviving Destiny believers also fled to the northern border one after another, taking advantage of the war between the Qing Dynasty and the grassland tribes at the border to quietly develop their own power.

Therefore, after finding out that the Bai family sneaked into Baoding Mansion from northern Xinjiang, their identities as followers of the Mandate of Heaven were basically confirmed.

The Destiny Sect had always aimed to overthrow the Yun family in the Qing Dynasty. If it was them, they would have the motive of killing Prince Jing's family.

That's why Gu Ge and Prince Jing were depressed.In this way, wouldn't King Cheng be "innocent" again?

After hearing what his father said, Yun Ruochen pondered for a moment before saying, "But father, why does the Destiny Sect only want to harm our family?"

"This..." Prince Jing's brain was not working well, and he couldn't keep up with his daughter's train of thought for a while.

"Chen'er was wondering just now, why do you and Mr. Gu both think that it is either one or two? If you are the Destiny Sect, you can't be Uncle Cheng?"

"Can't it be...Uncle Cheng and Tianmingjiao...together?"

"Ah? This...how is this possible?"

Prince Jing stared blankly at his daughter, shocked by the new possibility she proposed.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense!

Why did Tianmingjiao go to such lengths to only harm the people in his mansion, King Cheng?King Cheng has a son, why did the Destiny Sect let him go?Are you familiar with him?
Even if King Cheng really didn't collude with the Destiny Sect, but... he can still make a fuss about this point and pour dirty water on him!
Prince Jing only felt enlightened, and hurriedly called the servant to invite Mr. Gu Ge to come home again.

"Chen'er, you're right! Haha, my father didn't expect that I, Chen'er, are smarter!"

Prince Jing looked at his daughter with relief, and felt that what she saw was pleasing to the eye.He also knew that his brain was not very good, so why did he give birth to such a talented daughter?

At this time, he thought of the princess who died young, and felt a little sad in his heart.

The original spouse who respected him as a guest was a bit cold-tempered, but she was really extremely intelligent.It's a pity... If Chen'er is a boy, does he still need to worry about the heir?

I don't know if the child born by Huang can have the wisdom of Chen'er.

"The Destiny Cult..."

Yun Ruochen left Prince Jing's outer study, his face gradually turned cold.

More than half of the mystery is solved.

King Shu had fought in the northern border for several years. At that time, he was hooked up by people from the Destiny Sect, right?
The people of Destiny Sect are also really smart.They picked a good target for incitement.

She just said, for no reason, how could King Shu have the courage to develop the determination to fight for the throne.Without the temptation of the Destiny Cult, no matter how ambitious King Shu was, he would have no chance to develop the dark forces.

So far, the strategy of the Mandate of Heaven is clear.

They wanted to kill all the heirs of Emperor Yuan Qi first, and put King Shu on the throne as a puppet.Perhaps, after King Shu came to power, they would start to develop sectarian forces in the Central Plains, and eventually overthrow the Daqing Dynasty...

People like King Shu may not be so easy to fool.He may not fail to see that the Destiny Cult wants to turn him into a puppet, but...he may be overconfident.He thought that he could make good use of all kinds of Destiny Sect, such as the secret intelligence network, believers, spells, etc., and after winning the throne, he would use his power to eliminate the Destiny Sect—just like Emperor Taizu.

They are all calculating at the agency, and they are all eyeing Prince Jing's mansion as a breakthrough.

"What a group of thieves... want to succeed, unless... I die."

Yun Ruochen laughed coldly.

If she just sits and waits to be slaughtered, she won't be her anymore.

Now that you know who the enemy is, the next thing becomes much easier...

Whether it is King Cheng, King Shu, Tianmingjiao, anyone who wants to harm Prince Jing's mansion...all will die!
