Pawn Crossing the River

The member of the Goddess Society smiled coldly and took advantage of the situation to punch Chen Jianzi in the face. Chen Jianzi's eyesight went black and he staggered back.

Although Chen Jianzi has good cultivation and is a decisive person, she has been pampered over the years and has rarely fought with others. She does not have much practical experience and has not learned many magical powers. At this time, she is at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, the members of the Goddess Society, risking their lives for the Goddess Society, have countless lives on their hands, and are rich in experience. Once they gain the upper hand, they will kill Chen Jianzi at every turn. Even if they cannot use divine magic, it is enough to kill Chen Jianzi.

Chen Jianzi is getting more and more desperate. If he had known this, it would be better to fall into the hands of the Taoist sect, cooperate honestly, and get a lenient sentence. Whether it is exile or hard labor, after all, it is better to save a life than to be killed and silenced. .

At this moment, I suddenly heard a childish voice saying: "Stop it."

That member of the Goddess Society was indeed a professional, so she turned a deaf ear and continued to kill.

However, he suddenly felt that his belt seemed to be grabbed from behind, and because the force of his forward thrust was too great, the belt broke directly, so his pants fell directly down and piled up at his ankles, not only stumbling, but also Two hairy legs were also exposed.

This made the members of the Goddess Society so angry that they had to lift up their pants with one hand, assume a defensive posture, and glance at the position behind them.

At some point, there was a little girl behind him, holding half of a broken belt in her hand. She must have grabbed him from behind and put him in such an embarrassing situation.

Members of the Goddess Society were neither arrogant nor ignorant, so he smelled danger.

The little girl pointed at Chen Jianzi and said carelessly: "She is mine, you can go."

The goddess member frowned and made no move.

This little girl is Xiao Yin.

Seeing that the golden-haired ghost refused to leave, she raised her eyebrows: "Don't you understand human language?"

In fact, what she wanted to say was, it's enough for Zhang Yuelu to bully me. Do you still want to bully me?

Don’t you know that Miss Yin is the fourth master of the Ghost Kingdom’s Cave Heaven?

Chen Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief. Although this little girl was weird, her tone sounded like she was from the Taoist sect? Chen Jianzi vaguely heard that there was a little girl following Master Qi. Could it be her? It is better to fall into the hands of Daomen than to be silenced.

The members of the Goddess Society stood up and stabbed Xiao Yin with their swords.

Rich experience cannot make up for the huge gap in strength. Xiao Yin opened his mouth and bit the rapier. His teeth were like copper and iron, and he chewed the rapier into pieces.

When the members of the Goddess Society saw this, they were horrified and subconsciously turned around and ran away.

Xiao Yin is not easy to talk to. You didn't do anything to me just now, and I could indeed let you go. Now you do it to me. Huh, do you want to escape? How can such a good thing happen!

In Chen Jianzi's sight, Xiao Yin began to "get taller" like a shadow stretched by the setting sun, but she was still short-handed and short-legged, only her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, like a dark portal.

Xiao Yin opened her mouth and sucked in, creating a huge suction force. Not to mention running away, the members of the Goddess Society even began to retreat uncontrollably.

Amidst the screams of the members of the Goddess Society, Xiao Yin swallowed him whole.

When Chen Jianzi saw this scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was speechless, and his two legs even trembled.

Although Chen Jianzi has been in Lion City for many years and has been exposed to some so-called dark scenes, she has never seen this kind of swallowing.

After Xiao Yin swallowed what was in her mouth, she returned to her original size. However, she frowned and realized that the matter was not simple. She retched first, and then vomited out many metal parts that had been corroded beyond recognition. There is also some black water of unknown composition.

Xiao Yin said "bah bah" a few times, thinking to herself that monsters are more delicious.

Then Xiao Yin came to Chen Jianzi who was lying on the ground, looked her up and down, and sniffed to confirm that the smell was correct.

This scared Chen Jianzi to death, fearing that this little devil was going to eat him.

Xiao Yin didn't waste any time, picked up Chen Jianzi and went to Zhang Yuelu to receive the reward.

Neither Qi Xuansu nor Zhang Yuelu expected Xiao Yin to be so agile. It only took half a day to find Chen Jianzi and arrest him, not to mention three days.

This made the two of them look at Xiao Yin with admiration. Qi Xuansu praised him without hesitation: "You are much more reliable than the Taoist spiritual officials under me. If I could make the decision, I would have to make you the deputy palace master."

Zhang Yuelu was also in a good mood. She was a person who kept her promises. Not only did she fulfill her promises, but she also rewarded Xiao Yin with an additional five hundred peace coins. Things are different now. Zhang Yuelu is no longer the poor girl she used to be. As the third member of the Zhang family, Even Lin Yuanmiao, a leader of the era, could afford to support him, let alone a mere few hundred dollars. This was something Qi Xuansu could not compare to.

Xiao Yin was also in a good mood. He spent the fifteen hundred Taiping money in three days, which was the cost of five hundred Taiping money a day. What kind of magical day was this? Go to the largest theater to book a theater and sing for her alone. She can listen to it however she wants.

In order to prevent another accident at Beichen Hall and to keep it secret, Qi Xuansu decided to interrogate Chen Jianzi in person.

But Chen Jianzi had already figured it out after almost being silenced. Before Qi Xuansu could use any coercion or inducement, she took the initiative to express that she would actively cooperate and only asked the Taoist government to spare her life.

According to Chen Jianzi, the person who contacted the Goddess through her was named Lin Qingcheng, who was Wang Jiaoying's secretary.

The secretary's rank is not high, but he is close to power and can even represent power. In front of the deputy palace master, he is the secretary, but in front of outsiders, he is the deputy palace master's incarnation, or even the deputy palace master himself.

These people often wield great power.

Take Chen Jianchou as an example. He has not passed the major exam and has no official rank. But just because he is Qi Xuansu's secretary, who wouldn't give him three points? When Xie Jiaofeng met him, they all called him brother and brother. Many people hoped to be able to follow Chen Jianchou's path so that they could climb up the ladder of Qi Zhenren.

You must know that not everyone can see Qi Xuansu casually. It is not that Qi Xuansu deliberately puts on a show, but a threshold must be set, otherwise he will not have to do anything else every day except to meet guests and drink tea. Who can be seen, who cannot be seen, when, and who has the control? Of course it is in the hands of the secretary.

Do the people below dare not to fawn over you? Dare you offend?

To put it bluntly, many high-quality Taoist priests spend more time with their secretaries than with their Taoist companions. If you really want to show off, it is not difficult to achieve success, and it is even easier to ruin other people's affairs.

As Wang Jiaohe's brother, Wang Jiaoying undoubtedly has a lot of power. When the real person in charge of the government does not take care of things, Wang Jiaohe is the number one person in the Taoist government, and Chen Shuhua is the second person in the Taoist government. Then Wang Jiaoying is the well-deserved No. 3 figure. His secretary, of course, is very important.

It makes sense for him to come forward to contact Chen Jianzi.

If you touch this secretary, it will easily arouse the vigilance of the Wang family.

Qi Xuansu discussed it with Zhang Yuelu and Li Zhuyu.

Li Zhuyu's opinion was that Beichen Tang would come forward and take it down directly.

Zhang Yuelu put forward a different opinion: "Logically speaking, it is indeed the responsibility of Beichen Hall to eliminate the traitors. There is no problem for Beichen Hall to come forward to arrest them, but this can easily alert the snake. Considering that we are arresting Chen Jian secretly Zi, whether it is a traitor within us or an external force, we cannot be sure of it in a short period of time and will not respond immediately, so my opinion is that Feng Xiantang will come forward and take him down in the name of disciplinary issues. , which is safer.”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "Isn't it said that Nanyang United Trading Company is the pocketbook of many people? It is also said that many Taoist people like to reimburse expenses at Nanyang United Trading Company, so we will start from the point of reimbursement and use Make a fuss about reimbursement, make a long list, mix Lin Qingcheng's name into the list, and then let people from Feng Xiantang talk to the people on the list, and then take it down in one fell swoop, claiming to the outside world that Lin Qingcheng is also involved in the corruption issue. Being censored. Now that Master Jiang Da is still in Shenglong Mansion, neither Wang Jiaoying nor Wang Jiaohe can make a big splash."

Li Zhuyu had to agree with this plan.

Qi Xuansu said: "It just so happens that Yao Suyi is in Shenglong Mansion now and asked Lu Yuting to issue a list. I will inform Yao Suyi and Xu Fuli to take action immediately without further delay."

As for Chen Jianzi, Qi Xuansu had her secretly detained and kept under strict supervision to prevent her from dying or escaping. At the final trial, she will be asked to testify.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also kept his promise and spared her life. When you perform meritorious service and atone for your sins, you cannot break your promise. If you die no matter what, many people will choose to fight to the end instead of pleading guilty and cooperating. Things will be difficult to handle in the future. So Qi Xuansu decided to send her to Kunlun Taoist Temple to practice Taoism after the incident in Nanyang was over.

If these prisoners with outstanding cultivation skills were to be exiled, it would not be feasible to exile them to some remote areas. There would not be so many people to guard them, and it would be easy for them to find opportunities to escape. The only option is to exile them to the Kunlun Taoist Mansion. The foot of Kunlun is naturally heavily guarded. A quarter of the Taoist spiritual officials are deployed here, and Kunlun is the core of the Taoist sect. There are countless experts, and no prisoner can afford to make trouble.

Over the years, Daomen has been expanding Yujing intermittently. It cannot be said that the expansion of Yujing is actually to open up some areas around Kunlun to build new cities, divert traffic, separate some less important functions, and reduce the pressure on Yujing, so it is necessary to carry out large-scale construction and build palaces and temples.

This requires manpower. Of course, ordinary civilians are not as good as such prisoners with high cultivation. Therefore, in recent years, the Taoist sect has treated these prisoners with good cultivation, adhering to the concept of not killing people if they can be exiled, and letting them all go to Kunlun. It doesn’t cost a penny to go to a Taoist temple to practice Taoism, so why not do it?

If you perform outstandingly and repent during the period of hard labor, your sentence can be reduced appropriately, and you may regain your freedom after a few decades. This also gave the prisoners something to think about, so as not to carry it to the end.

There are also some people whose cultivation level is too high and whose scope of action must be strictly controlled, or those who have committed too serious crimes and it is difficult to kill them directly. Then choose one of the three caves of the Demon Suppressing Well, the Demon Locking Tower, and the Dragon Palace.

As for Qi Xuansu driving Yue Liuli into the Demon Locking Tower Cave for revenge, he never denied it.
