The entire underground palace shook violently, a crack was opened in the ground, and the pillars supporting the underground palace were broken.

The general looked at the cracked ground and turned dull into a green light spot, entering Li Pu's lantern.

A large number of people rushed towards this underground palace from various underground palaces. Li Pu smiled and walked towards the next underground palace.

It was getting late, and the Imperial Preceptor who had lectured the emperor finally returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion from the palace.

After entering the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, the Imperial Preceptor was stunned.

Looking at the exposed underground palace in front of me, the Buddha statue lying on the ground, and the collapsed main hall.

His face began to tremble uncontrollably. When had he ever suffered such a big loss?

When the people carrying the sedan saw that the ground had collapsed, they quickly put down their sedans and ran to the underground palace to check.

After a while, everyone knelt in front of the Imperial Master and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Seeing that these people did not dare to speak, the Imperial Master also understood.

The Imperial Master got off the sedan chair and turned around. He saw countless corpses in the ruined underground palace.

Originally, these people were placed underground to avoid being discovered, but unexpectedly, the entrances to these underground palaces were blocked and killed.

"Who is it! Find out who it is!"

…………

"Brother Geng, something seems to have happened in the Imperial Master's Office. Do you have any clues about this matter?"

Zuo Qianhu poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and asked.

"What happened? I don't know."

Li Pu glanced at Ning Caichen, who lowered his head and continued reading.

Li Pu left him in a tavern near the Imperial Prefecture today and ran away for a whole day before returning.

Ning Caichen was the first one not to believe that the affairs in the Imperial Prefecture had nothing to do with Li Pu.

but……

Ning Caichen glanced at Li Pu's eyes and chose to continue reading.

"There are strong men in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. I heard that a large number of people who had converted to the Imperial Preceptor in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were killed. The Imperial Preceptor was very angry. Your Majesty also ordered people to find the murderer within ten days."

Zuo Qianhu looked at Li Pu with doubt in his eyes.

Zuo Qianhu had seen Li Pu's strength. If anyone had this ability, his first choice would definitely be Li Pu.

"Don't worry, if I am guilty, I will go in by myself."

Zuo Qianhu glanced at Li Pu and walked out without saying anything.

The whole capital began to be in chaos, and a large number of police officers began to lead the police around the streets to inquire for information.

Various intelligence agencies have also begun to take action.

But it was spring, and a large number of outsiders came to Beijing to take the exam. During this period, more than one hundred thousand people poured into the capital.

In this world, it is impossible to find out any of these people who come to Beijing to take the exam in a short time without some escorts.

In addition, there are no people in this world who are dedicated to their duties. These people usually eat meat and wine to their heart's content, so how can they find out anything about it?

Everyone is a loser. It's okay to ask them to catch someone as a scapegoat or to accuse someone unjustly, but if you ask them to investigate something, these people will naturally be working as foreigners.

Not only had there been no movement at all for three days, but we also heard that someone had died in Chunlou.

After hearing what the innkeeper said, I found out that these detectives went into Chunlou as soon as they went to the street to investigate. In the past two days, Shangguan had pressed hard again, so they had to come out of the yamen. They had no experience in investigating crimes, so they went back and forth.

Then we went to Chunlou.

The ones who investigated the most diligently among them were naturally the people sent by the Imperial Guard.

The people sent by the Imperial Preceptor are not only superior in strength, but also very loyal. However, they cannot return to the Imperial Preceptor's Office after leaving the Imperial Prefect's Office.

While Li Pu was eating cakes, he watched the Imperial Master walk out of the Imperial Master's Mansion. As soon as he walked out, he was surrounded by countless people.

However, there were no chanters around him to protect him, so these people easily came close to him, crying and asking for blessings.

Seeing a boy holding a flower next to Pudu Cihang, Li Pu shook his head. It seemed that Pudu Cihang was indeed empty.

At this moment, several government officials guarding the Imperial Prefecture could not stand it any longer, and they stepped forward to separate the common people from the Imperial Preceptor.

The Imperial Preceptor is going crazy. In the past few days, no matter how many people he leaves behind, they will either be killed or disappear.

The people he sent to search for the murderer never came back. Within a few days, he became a loner.

He originally wanted to summon some believers to chant sutras for him, but he was worried that among these believers there might be spies from other people. Once the things in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion were discovered, he would no longer be able to pretend to be the Imperial Preceptor.

In the past, I wasn't worried because there were countless chanters in the mansion, but now the entire Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is as quiet as a cemetery in the middle of the night, and there are no chanters anywhere.

The Imperial Master was very angry, but he wanted to maintain his compassionate image and could not get angry.

The most unbearable thing for the Imperial Master is the loss of believers. In the past, the Imperial Master used to chant sutras to lure people to convert. Once someone was attracted by this voice, they would become extremely devoted to him.

But now he and a boy were the only ones chanting, and their voices were really limited.

After the sound of chanting disappeared, those who had converted gradually began to wake up.

Originally, some of them were farmers, some were wine shop clerks, and some were beggars on the street...

These people accidentally heard the sound of chanting sutras and took refuge in Pudu Cihang. But now that the sound of chanting sutras was gone, some people who had not believed for a long time came to their senses.

In the past, there were tens of thousands of people chanting sutras around the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, but now there are only a few thousand left.

This scripture needs to be listened to every day to have the effect of confusing people's hearts. Once it stops, the effect will be greatly reduced.

This is why when he later went to Jiangnan, he peeled out the flesh and blood of high-ranking officials and let his men get into the flesh to control these high-ranking officials.

Seeing that the people along the way did not kneel in front of him to listen to the scriptures, Pudu Cihang's face was full of sorrow.

"Brother Geng, you are the one who did the affairs of the Imperial Master's Office, right?"

Zuo Qianhu looked at the Imperial Master who had walked away, walked out from behind Li Pu, and said to Li Pu.

"So what if I did it? So what if I didn't do it?"

Li Pu looked at the Imperial Master who had walked away and said softly.

"Why did you do this? The national teacher has done many good deeds and is a highly enlightened monk. Why did you take action against the national teacher?"

Zuo Qianhu looked at Li Pu and was very puzzled.

He knew that Li Pu's collection of souls was just to collect the souls of demons and monsters, but the Imperial Master was not a monster at all.

Zuo Qianhu glanced at the huge statue in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

In his opinion, this Buddha is naturally upright. With such an upright approach by the Imperial Master, Li Pu has no reason to take action against the Imperial Master.

"Why would I take action against the Imperial Master? You will know after you come and see."

After that, Li Pu took Zuo Qianhu to Master Lu's door.

"This is Mr. Lu?"
