Pawn Crossing the River

In a sense, the Vientiane Taoist Palace is like an independent kingdom.

Its "land area" is where the main palace and each branch palace are located, and the population is all the members of the Tao Palace. Its internal system is self-contained and quite independent. In addition to personnel power and various resource supplies, it even includes the judiciary. No one can interfere in the internal affairs of the Taoist palace, so when Qi Xuansu went to study in the Shanggong, the Taoist palace was closed and no entry or exit was allowed. This is where his confidence came from.

Theoretically, it is difficult for outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of the Dao Palace. However, Beichen Hall is famous for its strength. When it comes to secret associations, this strength can be taken to the next level. Moreover, Qi Xuansu is from the Taoist palace and has a good relationship with the Taoist palace. He may even become the real person in charge of the palace. He was determined to put his hand in, but it wasn't impossible.

Furthermore, Qi Xuansu also said that he and Sun Hewu would report to Master Shi Da.

In this way, it will not only conform to the facts of the population, but also give Shi Dazhen, who has always had a vague attitude, a clear attitude.

Will Master Shi Da agree?

Qi Xuansu is still quite sure.

Because the female instructor was indeed "suicided." .??.??

If the female instructor really committed suicide and Qi Xuansu wanted to go to war, then Master Shi Da would probably not agree. But it happened that it was not suicide, but homicide. This made Qi Xuansu grab the painful foot. Master Shi Da couldn't say anything. After all, Huangfu Ji was watching. To put it back 10,000 steps, if he could put pressure on Qi Xuansu, he could also Are you putting pressure on Huangfuji? Do you still need face and perspective?

Whether you are making a fuss out of a molehill or making use of a topic, you must first have a "problem."

These people were also confused and did such an operation. It was like putting a noose around his neck, and then handed the other end of the rope to Qi Xuansu's hand. Qi Xuansu said, "You dare not strangle me. If you kill me, you will be morally condemned. You You will have to live in inner torment for the rest of your life.

Do you really think Qi Xuansu is just a fledgling?

What Qi Xuansu is best at is not playing by the rules. Whether he is framed or slandered, he will not get entangled in this matter, let alone prove his innocence.

If you prove your innocence, you will fall into other people's rhythms and be led by others.

Wang Jiaohe sent people to arrest Qi Xuansu's secretary. Qi Xuansu would not defend his secretary. Let's not talk about guilt or innocence. Let's talk about procedural issues first. If the procedures are unreasonable, then let him go. The logic is the same.

These people killed a female instructor and spread rumors that the female instructor committed suicide because of Qi Xuansu. They wanted Qi Xuansu to prove his innocence and fall into a situation of moral judgment.

If you are someone who takes the rules very seriously, you are likely to fall into their trap and try your best to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter and are innocent within the scope they have set. At that point, there is no

Guilty and innocent. This is a typical infantile disorder.

Who would take rules so seriously? Flower Garden Taoist. People who are forced to die but dare not take action to fight to the death.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Huayuan Taoist priest to escape from his own stereotypes. They take these things very seriously and take it for granted that others care about them.

Can Qi Xuansu find out the person who killed the female tutor through normal channels?

Yes, but it's difficult.

Because Huangfu Ji also said that there are knowledgeable people who do it very cleanly. Maybe "Guicang Deng" can find out. The key is that "Guicang Deng" doesn't listen to Qi Xuansu. He usually pretends to be dead and occasionally shows up.

It's easy to fall into a dilemma. You know that the person is the murderer, but because there is insufficient evidence, you can't do anything to him.

Qi Xuansu didn't have much time, he had to return to the New World, and he didn't have the patience to get entangled slowly, so he planned to cut through the mess quickly.

With the change in status, Qi Xuansu's thoughts and perceptions have undergone tremendous changes.

Procedural justice or factual justice?

It doesn't matter.

As long as stability can be maintained, justice is good.

Once Qi Xuansu identified the case as a secret association, he could use some special means to investigate. Beichen Hall was notoriously evil and could not be said with words. As long as the suspect is identified, whether there is any evidence is secondary.

, there are ways to get you to speak.

There are some different standards for treating enemies and treating one's own people.

Secret societies are the enemy.

As for whether doing this will leave any clues?

Qi Xuansu has reached his current position, and saying something that is not so correct is no longer within the scope of ordinary laws.

As long as Donghua Zhenren does not fall, there will be no big problem. At most, it will be just a misjudgment. Who can avoid making mistakes when it comes to dealing with secret societies? The Heavenly Master had also passed by, so the Zhang family had descendants of immortals.

If Donghua Zhenren falls, even if Qi Xuansu is a saint, various problems can be found.

Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu have been in Nanyang for decades. Did the Taoist sect just know about the things they did? Why is it not a problem sometimes and a problem sometimes?

Are there any problems with other Taoist masters?

So there's no point in worrying about this.

Qi Xuansu and Sun Hewu met Master Shi Da and gave a rough report on the situation.

Master Shi Da did not refuse what Qi Xuansu expected. He just told Qi Xuansu to pay attention to the impact, not to make too much noise, and not to panic people.

Qi Xuansu agreed immediately and immediately contacted Beichen Hall.

The chief deputy hall master is responsible for external affairs, and the second deputy hall master is responsible for the defense of Yujing. This kind of thing should be the responsibility of the ordinary deputy hall masters, but the chief and second deputy hall masters are also the superiors of the deputy hall masters in theory.

Now it is time for Master Qingwei to reuse Qi Xuansu. There is no deliberate marginalization of Qi Xuansu. The wind direction from above determines that other deputy hall masters dare not directly disobey Qi Xuansu. If Qi Xuansu asked them to investigate the Kunlun Taoist Palace, they might have to obey and report to the real person in charge. However, since the Wanxiang Taoist Palace does not involve the interests of Taiping Taoism, they will definitely not refuse.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also reported the matter to Zhenren Qingwei. Based on his experience, he judged that this might be a case of murder by a secret association.

Master Qingwei is not omniscient and omnipotent. Naturally, he does not know all the situations here. Even if he knows, it does not mean that Master Qingwei will care about these trivial matters. So Master Qingwei just responded with three words, "I know."

Qi Xuansu contacted the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall, his mother-in-law-to-be, and asked to send a spiritual officer to assist in handling the case. ??

The reason was legitimate, and Master Shi Da also agreed. Master Cihang naturally would not refuse, because he was just cooperating in handling the case, so he appointed an assistant.

When Qi Xuansu questioned Wu Meirong at the meeting with the governor of the Borneo Taoist Mansion, an important reason why Wang Jiaohe could not refute was that he did not ask for instructions beforehand and did not report afterward. Qi Xuansu would not forget this, so he reported to three people beforehand, namely Master Shi Da, Master Cihang, and Master Qingwei.

Even if he had a strong backstage, Qi Xuansu would not let anyone take advantage of him.

Whether it is efficient or not depends entirely on how powerful it is.

In less than half a day, two flying boats arrived at the Wanxiang Taoist Palace one after another, representing Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall respectively.

The assistant manager of Tiangang Hall is Xu Kou, an acquaintance of Qi Xuansu.

The fate of this man is also quite legendary. He was first born in Qingluan Guard, and met Master Qingwei by chance. Because of Master Qingwei's words, he transferred to Taoism from Qingluan Guard and entered the Qizhou Taoist Office. However, due to his cruel methods, Master Qingwei You won't always pay attention to a small person, so you will always be ups and downs, and you will be stagnant.

Later, he was recommended by Li Tianzhen to Tiangang Hall. Under Li Tianzhen's instruction, he had a conflict with Zhang Yuelu. Later, he basically broke away from Li Tianzhen, became Zhang Yuelu's subordinate, and had some friendship with Qi Xuansu.

Whether it was the Fenglinzhou war or the major case in Borneo, Xu Kou was

Get involved and make a difference. Because he was Zhang Yuelu's valued principal, and he had some interactions with Lin Yuanmiao. He received Lin Yuanmiao's guidance and teaching, and finally became a heavenly being. Coupled with Zhang Yuelu's recommendation for promotion, he went round and round and returned to Tiangang Hall.

Compared with Taoist Sanxiu, Xu Kou is quite young. But from a normal perspective, he is now in his prime, has sufficient cultivation, and has many merits, so it is reasonable for him to be promoted to assistant counselor.

Help with this

A position can be said to be big or small.

The top assistant manager, the assistant manager of Zixiao Palace, can only be held by the master of the Nine Halls. The seven assistant managers of Taiping Bank are also assistant managers, and they are treated like real people.

The assistant managers in the middle, such as the assistant managers of Wanxiang Dao Palace and the assistant managers of Wuxu Palace, seem to have no real power, but they are noble. If they are lucky enough to seize the opportunity, they can be directly promoted to the palace. Many senior secretaries also use the title of assistant secretary, such as the secretaries of the three princes and the secretaries of the third division. In private, they can be called secretary so-and-so, but in formal situations, they are called assistant secretary so-and-so.

The lower assistant minister is generally the transitional stage from the principal to the deputy hall master, and is between the two.

Auxiliary principles and auxiliary principles cannot be generalized.

Xu Kou, the assistant manager, is obviously a bit higher than the chief manager.

The person coming from Beichen Hall was also an acquaintance of Qi Xuansu, Li Zhuyu.

Master Qingwei seemed to regard Li Zhuyu as the person who specifically dealt with Qi Xuansu. If Qi Xuansu had any problems, he asked Li Zhuyu to come over and communicate with him. This does make some sense, because Li Zhuyu and Qi Xuansu have a good relationship. During the Fenglinzhou war, the two worked together, and Li Zhuyu also contributed to the war in Borneo.

After the two saw Qi Xuansu, they took the initiative to salute "Chief Qi."

Qi Xuansu signaled that there was no need to be polite and went straight to the point, "You already know the specific situation, so I won't say more. I only have one request: to detect the case in the shortest possible time, pay attention to the impact, and don't make a fuss."

Li Zhuyu responded, "Yes."

Xu Kou and Li Zhuyu were old acquaintances and said, "My mission this time is to handle the case together, so I will follow the orders of Deputy Hall Master Li."

"Okay, you go." Qi Xuansu said.

Today's Qi Xuansu is no different than before. He doesn't have to do it himself, as long as he knows the result.

For Li Zhuyu and Xu Kou, this job is not complicated. In fact, it is to find the murderer and then follow the clues to find out the person behind the scenes.

In the end, the person behind the scenes has only two outcomes: either admit that he colluded with the secret society, or confess truthfully.

Although Qi Xuansu's methods were wrong, the results were pretty much the same.
