Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 221 220 Disrupting the Interrogation
These words really reminded Lady Fengyu.

Now that Xijun has not returned yet, Feng Xiuhu cannot afford to get into trouble.

He has been hiding here for a long time. If the God of Mist comes to visit the kingdom of God one day and he is accidentally discovered, it will be a loss.

So she sat down again and waved: "Come down and talk."

Feng Xiuhu jumped down from the tree and patted the hem of his clothes: "I knew that the queen was a reasonable person."

The queen ignored his flattery and said directly, "What do you want to know?"

Feng Xiuhu got straight to the point: "Whose side is Wei Su'e on?"

The Empress rolled her eyes. "I'm not a worm in her stomach, how would I know? She's not a very important person, not worth my concern."

makes sense.

Feng Xiuhu thought about it and changed his train of thought: "What is the relationship between Wei Su'e and the temple?"

This question hits the nail on the head.

The empress gave me a surprised look: "Which temple are you asking about?"

Feng Xiuhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately realized: "Is the Eastern God not a monolithic entity?"

The Empress couldn't help but sneer: "Because of Xijun, the gods can live in peace with each other, but in the end, everyone is just cleaning up the snow in front of their own door, so it can't be said that there is a deep friendship."

"For example, the Wei Su'e you mentioned, the temples that she interacted with should be the Marriage Temple and the Barefoot Temple, because I know that of the two maids who followed Wei Su'e, one practiced the Acacia Joy Merit, and the other practiced the Qihuang Salvation Merit."

Feng Xiuhu's eyes lit up.

The Queen continued, "Although I knew about it, I never cared about it. The Immortal of Marriage and the Barefoot Prince have always been wary and repulsive of the Western gods, so it made sense for them to plant a thorn in Wei Jin's side with Wei Su'e. As for how they persuaded Wei Su'e, I don't know."

Feng Xiuhu was puzzled. "Why do the Immortal of Marriage and the Barefoot Prince fear Western gods? Aren't you and the other Eastern gods afraid of them, too?"

"Why should I be afraid?"

The Queen smiled and said, "The Immortal of Marriage and the Barefoot Prince felt truly threatened."

"The followers of the Marriage Temple pray for love and family harmony, something the God of the Heart can also provide. The followers of the Barefoot Temple pray for health and freedom from illness, something the God of Life can also provide. So when the Western Church was introduced to the Eastern Continent by the Great Duke, and its teachings spread to more and more places, the foundations of the Marriage Immortal and the Barefoot Prince were shaken."

Feng Xiuhu paced back and forth in the courtyard. "But from what I've seen, your faith is also being plundered by the God of Mist—aren't you worried at all?"

The Queen shook her head. "That's where the disagreement lies. The Barefoot Prince and the others believe that the Western Gods should be driven out of the Eastern Continent first, but Xijun disagrees and forbids them from provoking a fight between the gods."

"And I always stand on Xijun's side."

Feng Xiuhu stopped and asked, "Why did Xijun choose to be tolerant?"

"Tolerance?"

The Empress was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You seem to have misunderstood something - did you always think that Xijun was hesitant because he was afraid of the power of the Western Gods?"

Feng Xiuhu was also stunned: "Isn't it?"

The Queen shook her head helplessly. "Xijun is universally recognized as the most powerful deity. She is feared and respected. Before the emergence of the Truth, it was the Western Gods who took the initiative to propose the sea as the boundary, so that the Eastern and Western Gods would not interfere with each other. Then, when the Truth appeared, he tried to challenge Xijun's power, but in the end he could only flee in panic."

"So even now, Xijun has never taken the Western gods seriously. The reason she chose to turn a blind eye is simply because Xijun doesn't want to be disturbed by the fighting. She has more important things to do."

Feng Xiuhu's mind moved: "Eternal life?"

The Queen was slightly surprised, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xijun has been trying to find a way out for us."

"Once successful, the gods will no longer be burdened by faith."

She pointed at Feng Xiuhu and said, "Zhenli refuses to reveal the truth behind his success, so you are the most valuable case." Feng Xiuhu tried to get a question out of him, "Then why hasn't Xijun come to see me yet?"

The Queen lightly changed the subject: "So I don't recommend you to target Wei Su'e. Before you meet Xi Jun, I don't want other gods to know of your existence - even the Marriage Immortal and the Barefoot Prince, who are also Eastern gods."

What Lady Wind and Rain didn't know was...

Now it is not a question of whether Feng Xiuhu will take the initiative to cause trouble for Wei Su'e, but the fire is about to burn the Duke's wife.

……

Hong Shenghuo used the morning time to catch up on his sleep and after regaining his energy, he prepared to continue interrogating Old William in the afternoon.

Konate Chen and Xi Wusheng arrived as promised.

The battered old William was placed back on the iron chair. Xi Wusheng took one look at him and couldn't help but frown: "If he were to suffer the same fate as last night, he'd probably be dead."

Konate Chen's eyes lit up for a moment, but he quickly lowered them.

Hong Shenghuo kept staring at him, seeing everything, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

This interrogation seemed to be an open trial of Old William, but in fact it was a conspiracy against Konate Chen.

"cough."

Hong Shenghuo cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, Xi Gaogong. I've found some new clues and have some questions for him. I'm worried you might miss them, so I'm expediting the interrogation."

Xi Wusheng nodded silently upon hearing this.

Konate Chen looked over and said, "What clues? I'm curious too."

Hong Shenghuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Bishop. I'll find out once I ask."

After saying that, he didn't give Konate Chen a chance to react. He looked at Old William and asked directly, "Who is Gu Zhili?"

Old William didn't react much, but Konate Chen next to him subconsciously gripped the armrests of his chair, but it only lasted for a short second before he immediately relaxed.

Hong Shenghuo, who had focused most of his attention on Konate Chen, noticed it again.

Old William said weakly: "Sounds familiar, seems to be a guest."

Hong Shenghuo continued, "This woman's name appears quite a few times in the account book. Is it just a familiar name?"

Old William didn't even raise his eyes: "There are so many guests, I can't remember everyone clearly."

Hong Shenghuo found that Konate Chen was a little absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

He continued, "Where does this person live?"

Old William shook his head: "I said, I can't remember."

Hong Shenghuo sneered: "Indeed, the delivery work is done by the apprentice in the store. Otherwise, I will arrest him and ask him. He should remember it clearly."

Before Old William could say anything, Konate Chen suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Don't bother with that. I want to see how long he can keep his stubbornness."

After saying this, he didn't even say hello to Hong Shenghuo, but raised his short staff and cast a spell directly.

boom!
With a gunshot, the gem on the front end of the short staff exploded into pieces.

Hong Shenghuo blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the gun and cast a cold look at Konate Chen.

"Your Excellency, why do I feel that you are more anxious than the prisoner?"
