MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 59 Fubing
The separate actions of Pei Yu, Kuai Gang, and Xie Zhi were part of Yang Dejin's plan. As for what they shouted, it was all the result of Xie Zhi and Yang Dejin's investigation.
After Yang Dejin disappeared, not only did the believers in the whole city change, but also the posts they sent out to make unannounced visits also received news.
Xue Yuanwai's only daughter said she ran away from home, but in fact, there is a high probability that she was kidnapped. After Xue Yuanwai joined the Dacheng Sect, his daughter was sent back home immediately.
The spies came to report, saying that after returning home, the daughter of the Xue family stayed behind closed doors all day, and described her as haggard, suspicious and sensitive.
Yang Dejin knew that this should be a sequelae of her being kidnapped, which was a mild depression.
As for the Military Weapons Supervisor, the original weapons were still missing, and what the church found back for them were only some old-fashioned weapons and defective products.
No one knew the whereabouts of those new weapons. If the Dacheng Sect was really bold enough to embezzle the imperial military equipment, it would be a severe punishment.
The case of the fugitive from Dali Temple was not investigated alone, and Pei Yu easily found out. The fugitive who was recaptured died in the prison.
There was an injury on the head, and he thought he committed suicide by hitting a wall, but later on, poison was found in the man's food, and it was murder. The fugitive had contact with members of the church before his death, and he might even know their true identities, so the church's motive for killing people also had—silencing.
There are many similar cases with many doubts, but as Xie Zhi said, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the church.
Pei Yu and Kuai Gang shouted out these investigation results to everyone, with the purpose of shaking these believers' faith in the church.
According to Yang Dejin, not all of these believers firmly believe in the church, they just lack an opportunity and someone in their early years to raise their doubts.
Just like in the story of the emperor's new clothes, there is no child at the end of the story pointing out that the emperor has nothing on him, and the onlookers dare not admit that they have not seen any clothes.
Since they lack this opportunity, Yang Dejin designed to create such an opportunity for them.
Kuai Gang didn't quite understand Yang Dejin's thoughts, he just felt suspended in his heart, and after shouting, he whispered to himself: "Can it be done..."
The entire imperial mausoleum and underground palace became a mess, people were pushing, shouting and cursing, the chaos was extremely chaotic, comparable to the modern Spring Festival travel season. The cardinals and attendants of the Great Accomplishment Sect faintly flinched in the face of hundreds of angry believers.
"My wife, although she passed the dystocia safely, gave birth to a deaf-mute child! Didn't the church say that the mother and child will be safe?! Then why is my child disabled?!"
There was a voice in the crowd that was particularly angry. Kuai Gang and Pei Yu who were scattered on both sides of the underground palace were stunned for a moment, and they were sure that it was not the other party who was shouting.
Yang Dejin's eyes lit up when he heard the words: Could this voice be Cheng Duo?
She also sent someone to watch Jingzhao Fu Yin, but the church cannot be blamed for his child's congenital disability.
She checked and found that Cheng Duo and his wife were direct blood relatives within three generations, and the child they gave birth to would most likely be deformed, even deaf-mute was considered good.
In this matter, the church did send a good doctor and midwife to help his wife through the dystocia, but no matter how capable they were, they could not control the matter of genetics. In fact, they still helped Cheng Duo.
"The only copy of Mencius lost by my family has not been found until now. It is a family heirloom of my family. Didn't you say that you would help me find it?! Ah?!"
"I joined the church because I wanted to know who murdered Mr. Ma Yu. You tell me that ghosts and gods are causing trouble?? Do ghosts and gods need poison to kill you?! A group of charlatans!"
"That's right, my grandmother didn't get better after using your secret medicine, so why don't you give me an explanation!"
More and more believers began to spontaneously shout out their dissatisfaction, complaining and scolding one after another, no matter how hard they tried to maintain their piety before, driven by the herd mentality, they could not bear the fact that they were deceived.
The higher a person's status is, the more honorable his status is, the less he can accept being deceived and teased.
When the church wanted to win over these high-ranking and powerful believers to reach the sky, it never thought that one day it would be backlashed by these people.
"Down with the Dacheng Sect!" Yang Dejin raised his arms and shouted as he had nothing to do with himself.
"Down with Dacheng Sect!"
"Down with Dacheng Sect!!"
Yang Dejin was delighted by the feeling of being echoed everywhere.
The cardinals and their minions were completely unable to catch up with Yang Dejin. They were pinned down by the angry believers and drowned in the crowd.
The plan has been considered a success, but I don't know if Xie Zhi can do it.
Just as Yang Dejin was thinking so, someone was immediately pushed out of the crowd.
Xie Zhi pointed at that person and shouted: "Look quickly! That person seems to be one of the prisoners who have just been executed. Although he changed his clothes, his shoes are still dripping with blood!"
Hearing this, Yang Dejin couldn't help but look back, and exclaimed in a low voice, "He really found it?"
Yang Dejin said that all the "sinners" brought up were extra performers hired by the church.
Xie Zhi thought, the underground palace is remote and the tunnels extend in all directions. It is impossible for them to leave after the show. They will just step down, change their clothes in the blind spot of everyone's vision, and then re-mingle with the believers.
Therefore, Xie Zhi volunteered to go through the crowd to catch these people.
Xie Zhi's voice was not loud, but the believers who were close to her heard it. They all looked at the person who was thrown out, and they saw his shoes were wet, and he stepped on a "bloody footprint".
"Shentang is really fake!"
"How dare you find someone to act for us? Are we so easy to fool?!"
"I just thought it was a bit strange when they were taken down, it really was collusion!"
"Your shoes are wet too! You belong to them too?!" Soon, someone discovered the other dogs in the church.
"I'm not! I'm not...My lord, what should I do?!" The other person who was pulled out hurriedly looked at the man in black robe standing straight on the high platform.
The pope seemed to be motionless and calm, but he was actually frozen in place. If it weren't for the mask painted with dead leaves to cover his face, believers would see a pale face at this moment.
"My lord Pope..."
The man in black robe seemed to be unknown, scanning the angry crowd, his eyes stopped in one direction.
Yang Dejin saw it, frowned, and looked in the direction he was facing. The same excited believers accused him loudly, calling him a liar.
Strange, is there anyone special over there?
People's anger was beyond words, and they almost swallowed these masked people alive. The Pope could no longer maintain his previous kind and tolerant demeanor. He looked around, wishing he could disappear immediately.
The four retreated to the back of the crowd and gathered together.
"Successful!" Pei Yu said incredulously, "Your Highness, you are really amazing!"
The believers protested and cursed chaotically, but Kuai Gang gave her a rare affirmation: "Kuai admires her."
Yang Dejin hastily covered his boxing ceremony with his hands, then looked at the three of them and said, "Where, without your cooperation, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Pei Yu looked at the messy underground palace and asked, "These believers are making trouble, but how will it end?"
Yang Dejin looked at Xie Zhi: "Well..."
Xie Zhi nodded, "It's time to come."
Kuai Gang and Pei Yu looked at each other: what should come?
The corridors connecting the underground palace began to vibrate slightly, but no one noticed it at first, because they made such a fuss.
But gradually, people heard the sound of orderly footsteps, mixed with the clank of the scabbard hitting the armor.
Four teams of warriors with swords poured in from the entrances of the corridors in four different directions, and surrounded the underground palace. They were dressed in combat attire, with armor on top of their armor, dark green scarves around their necks, and steel knives in their hands, armed to the teeth.
Not the emperor's imperial guards, nor the defenders of the city defense department, nor the yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion.
"This is...?" Pei Yu asked.
"This is the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion." Xie Zhi explained, "Before I came, I told the soldiers to search the entrances of the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum. Regardless of whether there was any movement after I came in, they would enter the underground palace by themselves after an hour. Surround control."
Yang Dejin praised her unreservedly: "Master Xie has planned everything out."
Xie Zhi glanced at her and shook his head.
It's not a plan, just play it by ear.
Before finding Yang Dejin, all she could use was the Prince's Token. She didn't know how useful that thing was before, from borrowing money to dispatching troops, seeing orders was like meeting people.
"My lord!" Yinniang's eyesight was extraordinary, and after she glanced at Yang Dejin, she jumped down the stairs with a few strides, slid one knee and knelt down in front of Yang Dejin, "You're looking for death!"
Yang Dejin: "...Don't do this, get up."
Changes came so often and quickly, believers who were out of the situation were a little uneasy.
"What is this for? Why are you pointing a knife at us?"
"I'm a third-rank court official, if you touch me, I'm sure I won't be able to eat well."
"Military masters, it's convenient, I won't treat you badly after I go out."
"We didn't do anything bad! Those masked people over there are the criminals!"
Pope, cardinals and their minions: …
Seeing this, Yang Dejin pushed aside the crowd, climbed onto the high platform, and kicked the Pope who was stunned in place—it was a real kick, he fell and sat in the crowd, and no one even helped him up.
Pope: "..."
Yang Dejin took off his hood and cleared his throat: "Everyone, don't panic, these people are the Pope's personal soldiers, and they will protect you from this underground palace safely."
"I believe many of you recognize me, so I won't introduce myself too much.
"As for those who don't know me, just ask around and you'll know.
"Don't get me wrong, these people are just taking you to understand the situation, and asking some trivial questions by the way."
"You have to keep up with them, otherwise, I can't say how they treat you..." Yang Dejin looked at the confused crowd below with a smile.
The third-rank official who said earlier: ...
How could he forget that there is still this big Buddha.
Pope and his congregation: ...what are the trifles?
Could it be... torture?
Everyone: ...Is it a threat? This is a threat, right? !
The author has something to say:
Yang Dejin: I'm really happy to die with all the responses.
Li Zichou's ancestors: Don't die here.
Does anyone remember Ma Yu? It was the big grievance who was poisoned to death at the Qujiang Banquet. Among the believers, there are those who follow the trend blindly, and there are also those who rush to the doctor and join the pyramid scheme.
