After talking about this major life event, the relationship between the few people became closer.

In addition to joy, Yang Qingxiao also felt shy, but after Li Ling gently held her hand, she became calm. At this moment, she only had the other person in her eyes, and she almost threw her brother behind her.

Seeing this, although Yang Qinghou felt a little uncomfortable, he felt that his cabbage was robbed by a pig outside, and he was rushing to deliver the cabbage. However, he also understood that his girl was indeed in love with Li Ling, and it was good to have such a promise. He gave up his worries and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

But as soon as we were together, Li Ling said seriously again: "Brother, since we are already a family, I want to ask you a question."

"Oh? What's the problem? Come and listen."

"About Luotian Sect." Li Ling looked at the other party and his tone became more and more serious, "I think you should know that there are such a group of people who always fight against the government and even rebel and revolt many times, which can be called a thorn in the court's side. But no matter where or how much knowledge is, whether it is the place or the court, about their specific details or what they know, I don't know how much about them in the world?"

Li Ling knew very well that the most important thing he had to work as an official in Jiangnan this time was to deal with the Luotian Sect that might be involved, minimize their destruction, and capture the Luotian Sect lurking in various places one by one. So in the days after the New Year, he did have a further understanding. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated.

However, the information about the Luotian Sect that he collected in the end made him a little unacceptable, because the court actually had not many records about them, so he knew that their structure was based on elders and guardians, and was supplemented by branches in various places. Then, the Luotian Sect members who could be found out of their exact identity, except for Zhao Chenghuang and others who were missing, others had been killed or captured.

In other words, the court still has little understanding of the Luotian Sect, and even less records of the Luotian Sect hidden in Jiangnan. It only knows that there must be important figures here to take charge of the overall situation and have begun to plan big moves.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that if the court really grasped the other party's personnel and location, there was no need for Li Ling to go to Jiangnan. Wouldn't it be better to send troops to wipe it out directly? So it can be said that the most difficult thing for Li Ling to go to Jiangnan is to find out these Luotian Sects who have been rooted in Jiangnan for many years.

This is naturally extremely difficult, at least it is difficult to reach further conclusions from the government. But now with Yang Qinghou, a real power figure in the world, the situation may be different.

After hearing this, Yang Qinghou was slightly stunned: "Is Luo Tian Sect? My Cao Gang has dealt with them several times. You suddenly asked me about this, but why?"

Li Ling did not hide it, and immediately briefly explained the matter of his intention to serve as an official in Huating and being ordered to deal with Luo Tian Sect, and then said: "I dare not hide it from you, brother. I am now completely disgusted with the situation of Luo Tian Sect in Jiangnan, so I think I can get some clues from you."

"Is that true?" Yang Qinghou's face was a solemn, "But you have to know that I am a man in the world. People in the world have their own rules. If you really tell you some hidden information, once it is spread, you will be despised by other colleagues."

The rivers and the temples have always been two distinct worlds. Even in such a large case as the Cao Gang, it has to rely on the imperial court to support the gang members, and dare not get too close to the government, at least on the surface. Otherwise, if they are really known to outsiders, they will be regarded as traitors and attacked by the people of the Jianghu. Even the brothers inside the gang may be disloyal because of this action...

Li Ling had never been to the world, but he really didn't know this rule. After the other party mentioned it, he nodded. Then he frowned and smiled, "Brother said that the people in the world have their own rules for survival, but which one is more important than the survival of the Cao Gang?"

"Of course it is the survival of my Cao Gang!" Yang Qinghou said without hesitation, with a smile in his eyes.

If some ordinary people in the world face this problem, they may say that nothing is more important than rules. However, a group of people like Yang Qinghou who are in the rise and fall of the country are actually more like officials when looking at the problem. Everything is focused on the overall situation, and the bottom line rules and other things can be retreated.

"That's it. If I say that the existence of the Luotian Sect is likely to affect the survival of the Cao Gang, I wonder if my elder brother is willing to cooperate with me?"

"How do you say this?"

"As far as I know, Luotian Cult has secretly transferred a lot of its power to Jiangnan in the past few years, and wants to completely disrupt this important financial and taxation area of ​​Dayue. The existence of Caohe will inevitably become the key to the court's emergency quellion. Do you think they will only cause trouble in Jiangnan regardless of this passage? If they really attack Caohe, Caogang will inevitably encounter a disaster. This is obviously not the result you want to see, right?"

"That's right. Caohe is the foundation of our lives for hundreds of thousands of brothers and families, and there is no way to lose it!" Yang Qinghou nodded immediately to agree, but still did not immediately reveal the inside story about the Luotian Sect that he knew.

Li Ling was stunned and understood: "Brother, don't worry, now there are three of us in the cabin, and there are brothers guarding us outside. Except for the three of us, there will never be a fourth person who knows what we are talking about today." In fact, this is what you value the most. What is breaking the rules of the world? If you don't spread it, isn't it considered to be destroyed?

Yang Qinghou then smiled: "If they really dare to do such a thing, I should really help you deal with them. This can be regarded as doing my best for the countless people in Jiangnan."

After pausing, he solemnly said: "Actually, I don't know much about the Luotian Sect, and there are only a few things I know: First, in Jiangnan, their power is indeed quite large. The so-called power is not only the manpower in the sect, but also the industry. There are also some places where famous local merchants, such as big merchants, are also their people."

"What happened?" Li Ling's face changed slightly, "How could these businessmen with families and businesses dare to get together with the guys who were severely cracked down on by the government?"

"There are too many statements. Either they were deliberately cultivated by Luo Tian Sect, or they had received their favors, and the identities of these people are quite secret. The government naturally did not know that they had this level of identity."

Li Ling nodded and asked again: "I guess my brother should know a few such people, who are they?"

Yang Qinghou looked at him: "Suzhou City, Lu Xian, the head of the Lu family of the Great Shang Dynasty who controls 70% of the local rice and grain, is probably an important figure in the Luotian Sect, and Shen Wanli, the lord of the Jubao Money House in Yangzhou..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he reported four or five well-known merchant figures from the Jiangnan area.

Li Ling was even more frowning when he heard this and couldn't speak for a long time. Before this, he had also known some famous figures on the ground in Jiangnan. He had heard of all the people Yang Qinghou reported to. This was really difficult.

He thought that the Luotian Sect in Jiangnan was about the same as in the Central Plains in the southwest, and they were all underworld mice that were shameful and would only do some shameful things in secret. But now, when he heard this, he realized that the Luotian Sect was so powerful in Jiangnan that once these guys really wanted to cause trouble, they might cause considerable damage to various parts of Jiangnan.

Even if the information is inaccurate, not everyone is a Luotian scholar, and only one or two of them have taken action will be enough for the court to drink a pot.

So... Li Ling's heart moved and grasped a key point. The identities of these people have not been revealed. Is it because they hide well or is it that the local government is afraid to expose the truth?

Li Ling, whose pressure on his shoulder increased a little more, took a deep breath and then said, "Is there any other information about the Luotian Sect?"

Yang Qinghou nodded: "Secondly, these people are not actually considered the local helmsman of Luotian Sect. Generally speaking, the helmsman has one in each mansion, and I have had contact with several of them, but obviously they are not those famous merchants. Compared with these religious believers who have accumulated wealth, these helmsman are stronger in their hands, and they are all not weak.

"But the person with the highest status in Jiangnan now is a guy named Elder Huo. Although I have never met him and I don't know what his possible identity is, one thing is certain that this person is very powerful because the current situation in Jiangnan was created by him. It is said that many villagers in many villages far away from the city have believed in their style, and they worship their true god of the Sun and Moon."

Since it is an evil religion that attracts the people in the world and fights against the government, the Luotian religion naturally has its own set of theories and its own beliefs. The true god of the Sun and Moon is their beliefs, at least the beliefs of the lower-level religious believers.

Li Ling was silent. This was the routine operation of every restless evil religion in history. They often used various means to confuse the poor people in places far away from the government's control, recruit people into the church, and then brainwash them. When they saw that they had the opportunity, they pushed the huge number of church members to the forefront and caused a big mess.

But the problem is, this is Jiangnan, the richest place in the world of Dayue. The people here don’t say they have enough food and clothing, at least they won’t be able to survive. Why do they bewitch the people from all over the world?

Yang Qinghou could not give an answer to this question, after all, he was not a member of the Luotian Sect. However, these things were enough to make Li Ling re-examine the Luotian Sect and their important figures, that was a group of capable and restless guys.

Then, he had the last question: "By the way, after you said so much, why never mention their leader? Since the Luotian Sect is so powerful, their leader must be no ordinary person, right?"
