Chapter 48 The Herbalist is Charming (Forty-Five)

Qingli: "Husband, don't worry. I just suddenly had this question. This Linyu Mansion only knows Prince Lin, not the emperor. Does that mean the emperor is relieved? Does Prince Lin's desires not expand?"

Meng Yi: "That's not what we should be concerned about. We should do our job when we are in a position to do it, and not interfere in politics when we are not in a position to do it."

Qingli: "Well, my husband is right. Speaking of which, the second largest branch of the Longmen Bank you mentioned last time is in Linyu Prefecture?"

Meng Yi: "Yes. The headquarters of Longmen Money House is in Hangwu Prefecture. The second largest branch is in Linyu Prefecture. After the headquarters was looted, Longmen Money House encountered a huge crisis, and the branches in various places were forced to reduce their scale to maintain the operation of silver and money."

Qingli: "Is that so! Then, my husband, have you found out who robbed Longmen Bank?"

Meng Yi: "Not yet. I've been making inquiries these past two days, and the head of Longmen Bank was seriously injured, and the headquarters suffered numerous casualties. They haven't yet figured out who quietly robbed Longmen Bank."

Qingli: "It seems the other party is quite powerful! It's possible they planned this all along, and maybe they're colluding with each other."

Meng Yi: "That's right. I believe Longmen Bank will investigate the matter very carefully. I once suspected that it was done by the Jianghu people, but no sect has had large-scale activities recently. Even for our Hanshui Sect, it would be very difficult to rob Longmen Bank without leaving any clues."

Qingli: "That's right, it's hard to leave no trace behind."

Meng Yi: "In the past, the Qianji Pavilion was incredibly well-informed, but since last year, they've only reported snippets of information regarding these tragic events. Also, no sect has suddenly become wealthy recently, with large-scale financial flows. There's a Moon Worship Sect, though, that appeared out of nowhere. I've barely heard of it before."

Qingli: "Moon Worship Cult?"

Meng Yi: "Yes, I knew about them before because their followers believed in the Moon God instead of Buddha. But the leader of the Moon Worship Cult disappeared for ten years, and the cult was leaderless, declining from a third-rate force to a small, insignificant force."

Qingli: "That's different from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, there are people who believe in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but no one believes in the Moon God."

Meng Yi: "That's all I know. The Moon Worshipers do both good and evil things. They tend to be righteous, and I've never heard of them doing anything evil."

Meng Yi: "Their new leader is said to be the disciple of the previous leader, who passed the throne to him before his death. The new leader is a martial arts prodigy, having been taught by an unseen master. As soon as he appeared in the martial arts world, he became famous."

Qingli: "This Moon Worship Sect has suddenly risen to prominence, and the leader is quite powerful. Will there be any problems?"

Meng Yi: "I know very little, but I have a hunch that this leader is something special. It's said that he wears red and is somewhat arrogant, yet he doesn't dislike people in the martial arts world. I heard them talk about this leader, Leng Yu, and they all praised him highly."

Qingli: "That's strange. Since he's so arrogant, he should be arrogant. There will definitely be people who will belittle him."

Qingli: "For example, he's 'a newborn calf fearless of a tiger,' 'arrogant and insolent,' and so on. From what you said, it seems that this leader has a good reputation among the people in the martial arts world."

Meng Yi: "It's indeed strange."

Meng Yi thought about this man. He had performed several good deeds for the Jianghu since his arrival, and his martial arts skills were considered top-notch, leading others to say he had reason to be arrogant. Meng Yi remembered that when he first began to roam the Jianghu, many accused him of bullying, ruthless and merciless with his Cold Water Sword. But as he gained fame, they softened their stance, saying, "Like father, like son."

No matter how well a person behaves, there will always be people who criticize and despise him. How can it be possible for everyone to like or praise the same person?

Qingli: "Husband, you should pay attention to such a person."

Meng Yi: "Well, I'll keep an eye on it. I haven't heard of any connection between the Moon Worship Sect and the Thunder Tiger Hall, so I haven't investigated the Moon Worship Sect in detail. Besides, a newly rising sect shouldn't have the strength to rob the Longmen Bank, nor the ability to destroy the Yidao Sect and poison the abbot!"

Qingli: "Longmen Bank has been standing for so many years, and its headquarters is heavily guarded. A newly emerged sect shouldn't be able to rob a bank or do these things. Since everyone thinks this way, no one will doubt them!"

Meng Yi: "Li'er, what do you mean?"
