Pawn Crossing the River

The spiritual officials of Tiangang Hall took over the port and various entrances and exits of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at will.

The Taoist priests from Beichen Hall, led by Li Zhuyu, entered the Taoist palace. While continuing to investigate the murder case, he started talking to the assistant teacher of the Taoist Palace.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how proud Beichen Tang is, he cannot be so unscrupulous. The key is that Qi Xuansu has mastered Shi Daren, and he agreed, and these high-level officials of the Taoist Palace became fish on the chopping board.

The news that Beichen Hall had settled in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace not only spread quickly in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, but also caused an uproar. The closed environment of the Taoist Palace determines that this is a society of acquaintances. Some things are difficult for outsiders to investigate, but everyone knows that they are inseparable. If there is no evidence, there is no evidence.

Ask questions one by one, individually. People who are not involved in this matter do not want to be affected, and do not want to be unlucky themselves, so some information will inevitably be revealed.

Some people may want to ask, if you don’t do bad things and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door, since you are not involved in this matter, why are you afraid of harming Chi Yu? Does Qi Xuansu still dare to involve himself in such a big way? He doesn't have this power yet. Master Shi Da would not agree.

Qi Xuansu does not have this power. The key is that few high-quality Taoist priests can withstand investigation. They are not involved in this matter. If something else is found out, who can bear it? Let's just discuss the matter and send the "God of Plague" away as soon as possible.

After Beichentang compiles this information, it can roughly lock the target.

At this time, there is still a lack of evidence. You can first control the person and slowly interrogate him, and then you will naturally have evidence. Then just go through the process, and Feng Xiantang will be responsible for how to judge.

If Qi Xuansu still feels that it is not enough, he can ask and give some guidance. Under normal circumstances, Feng Xiantang must respect Chief Qi's opinions. For example, there are many explanations for how to explain and characterize some ambiguous areas, and whether to give the verdict or be lenient in the final decision.

The key is that others can't find any faults.

This is high authority.

Therefore, the two things men crave most are strength and power. The power is to ignore all the rules of the Taoist sect and directly crush people to death like ants. The Taoist sect doesn't dare to have any objections, but it is too difficult. Power comes second, not as refreshing as power, but easier.

Power can make the Wanxiang Dao Palace shake physically in a real sense, and power can make the Wanxiang Dao Palace shake violently in people's hearts.

Women and other things are very far behind.

Qi Xuansu's talent determined that it would be difficult for him to reach the peak of power, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

In any case, it will take some time to find out this matter.

Qi Xuansu took care of things

After delivering it, just pay attention to the progress. You don't need to know too much about how to do it. He still accompanied Huangfuji to visit the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace as usual.

Qi Xuansu spent his childhood and youth in the lower palace and was familiar with every plant and tree here. This time he directly acted as a guide.

However, the influence of the rumors has begun to show. It is said that the female instructor was forced to death by Qi Xuansu. Now these spiritual officers and people investigating the case were also sent by Qi Xuansu. The children were afraid when they saw Qi Xuansu. They ran away when they saw Qi Xuansu from a distance. .

Even if the instructors organized a group of Taoist boys to come over, all of them would look pale, as if Qi Xuansu was a man-eating monster.

Faced with this situation, Qi Xuansu had no intention of showing his closeness to the people. He just told him to teach and take good care of these children and not let them have any accidents.

Qi Xuansu would not argue with a group of children, Xiao Yin would solve it by himself, mainly to prevent some people from making a fuss about this matter again.

Qi Xuansu does not believe that those who are pure will self-purify, but he wants to have a clear conscience.

After watching the Lower Palace, Huangfu Ji was deeply touched while taking a break and drinking tea, "Children from poor families are the ballast. We should give children from poor families a way to rise, let them have thoughts, goals, and hope, otherwise There's going to be a big problem."

Qi Xuansu said, "If the upward channels are blocked and the hierarchy is solidified, and eventually it becomes a dragon begetting a dragon, a phoenix begetting a phoenix, then there will be hostility and resentment at the bottom, and dissatisfaction will gradually accumulate, the situation will be complicated."

Huangfuji said again, "The problem is

Where is the poor family of Xidaomen? Are they the aborigines of the Southern Continent? If aborigines are allowed to enter Xidaomen, will it cause some problems? Maybe you can't see it now, but fifty years later, a hundred years later, when they are full-fledged and begin to demand power, their numbers will definitely increase. The first generation will ask for one seat, and the second generation will ask for two. Three, the third generation wants four, so what? The people of the Central Plains finally changed from an absolute majority to a minority. Will Xidaomen change its color? "

Qi Xuansu was silent for a long time and said, "This is indeed a problem, but to control the many with a few, you must cooperate with the majority and give up some power. This is a bit like the Golden Account taking over the Central Plains. They must give some power to the Central Plains people, otherwise I can’t sit still in the world.”

Huangfuji obviously had the answer a long time ago and said, "Xidaomen is still different from Jinzhang. Xidaomen is backed by the natal family in the Central Plains and has only a lot more people. So I have an idea. Xidaomen needs immigrants from the Central Plains. There are enough people." Immigration and intermarriage with aboriginal people will give birth to children who can be considered as one of our own.”

Qi Xuansu did not comment. He believes that this is a very complex issue that cannot be discussed in a few words.

Sometimes, Qi Xuansu also admits that the things Steam Gospel does are not personnel matters and must be criticized, but they are the simplest and most efficient. After all, Steam Gospel is not a fool. With such a bad reputation, it must be driven by huge interests to do such things that are outrageous to both people and gods.

At this moment, Ning Yuqing opened the door and walked in, "Two real people."

Huangfuji asked, "Ning Jiaoxi, what's the matter?"

Ning Yuqing said, "Something happened again."

Qi Xuansu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Yuqing sighed, "The child who had a problem with Xiao Yin almost had an accident. Fortunately, Chief Qi explained it in advance and the Taoist Palace was prepared, so nothing happened. Preliminary investigation showed that there were some human traces, which seemed to be caused by Chaos Shen. kind of means."

Qi Xuansu was not surprised and smiled, "I said, there must be a secret society of demons. Since it is a method of chaos, it may be 'Zhu Youshu', and it has something to do with the Lingshan Witch Cult. It seems that We need to increase our efforts.”

Huangfu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that some people still think they can't die quickly enough, or they are simply confused."

Qi Xuansu said, "The results should be available soon."

Li Zhuyu did not disappoint Qi Xuansu, and made great progress in just one day. Although the murderer of the female instructor has not yet been found, the person behind the scenes has been identified first.

The thing was so weird. The murderer fled from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace immediately after committing the crime. By the time Qi Xuansu got the news and went to Tiangang Hall to temporarily block the Taoist Palace, a long time had passed and he had already fled far away. But the mastermind behind the scenes is still in the Dao Palace, and it was his cooperation that allowed the murderer to successfully leave the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

This person's surname is also Qi, and his given name is Qi Wangui. Born in the Qi family of Shuzhou, he is considered the clan uncle of Qi Jiaozheng and Qi Muyu. He is not too old but has a high seniority. He is a relatively advanced seventh-generation disciple in the Taoist sect. Compared with Qi Jiaozheng, Qi Wangui's future is not great. He has been an assistant minister for so many years. He has worked in Wuxu Palace, Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and Wanxiang Dao Palace. Qi Jiaozheng doesn't like this clan uncle very much. Normally, he does not regard him as an elder and scolds him frequently.

This time there was a rumor that the Wanxiang Taoist Palace was going to reset the real person in charge of the palace. He was very interested in it and traveled around a lot, trying to seek this position. An uncle can't be much worse than his nephew. Qi Jiaozheng became the master of the Dao Mansion, and he was still ranked high in the Dao Mansion. Although Qi Jianyuan died, he was still a disciple of Donghua Master, and he could have had a bright future. Why is he doing so poorly? Even if you can't be a real person in charge of the palace, you still have to be a real person in charge of the palace, no?

I will be angry with Qi Jiaozheng again.

Unexpectedly, another powerful "Qi family" suddenly intervened and told everyone that this master in charge of the palace is mine.

This "Qi family" is Qi Xuansu.

How could Qi Wangui not hate him? At this time, he thought of his nephew's good fortune again, and thought that with Qi Jiaozheng as his backer, he had nothing to fear. After all, when Xiao Yin came to Wanxiang Taoist Palace, Qi Xuansu had not yet become a disciple of Master Donghua. In his opinion, maybe Qi Xuansu was still a bastard from the Qi family outside, and he had to be called uncle, so he wanted to give Qi Xuansu a warning.

At first glance, it seemed to work quite well. Didn’t Zhang Yuelu just give in? From this perspective, Zhang Yuelu objectively played a role in luring the enemy deeper.

When Qi Xuansu came to the Taoist Palace, Qi Wangui tried his old trick again and had the female instructor killed.

Unexpectedly, if Qi Xuansu didn't do this, things would escalate out of control.

At this time, Qi Wangui realized that Qi Xuansu had chosen to fight head-on. He really had no choice, so he got confused.

The above is definitely not what Qi Wangui said himself, but was pieced together and speculated by Beichen Hall.

After all, some complaints and thoughts must not be kept in the bottom of the heart. Daily conversations will always bring out some, especially Qi Wangui's desire for the real person in charge of the palace and Qi Xuansu's dissatisfaction, which is almost universally known.

If that's all, then that's it. Qi Wanhui once secretly told Qi Xuansu that he wanted to give Qi Xuansu some color. After Zhang Yuelu apologized, he felt even more proud.

All of this was revealed to Beichen Tang by a close friend of his. This friend of his knew how to watch the wind and saw that Qi Xuansu would not give up. He was afraid that he would be implicated. If he was labeled as an accessory, it would be unjust. He could just have a dead Taoist friend instead of a poor Taoist. This would be meritorious service.

Li Zhuyu saw these remarks and understood what Qi Xuansu meant. The arrest of the secret society demon was just an excuse. The real purpose was to find out Qi Wangui. She was already used to it. The Li family did this all the time. Things are getting used to it.

Li Zhuyu came to ask Qi Xuansu for instructions on how to deal with it. Should they be arrested directly, or should they be controlled in the name of assisting in the investigation?

After listening to the report, Qi Xuansu said, "It's just a one-sided statement and lacks evidence to support it. But when it comes to a murder case, I agree to control the person first and try the case slowly."

Li Zhuyu personally came to take Qi Wangui away. There were Taoist priests from Beichen Hall and spiritual officials from Tiangang Hall, as well as masters such as Shi Dazhenren, Qi Xuansu, and Huangfu Ji. Faced with this situation, ordinary people could only choose to surrender. Resistance is a dead end.
