Pawn Crossing the River

The reason is simple. This deputy palace master named Li Tianzhu definitely cannot be promoted to the third-rank Youyi Taoist priest by herself. Not to mention her, Qi Xuansu and the three Taoist masters are not good enough. Who doesn’t have someone above them?

There is no isolated individual in the big network of Taoism.

In other words, there are a lot of people behind Li Tianzhu, and these people must be dealt with.

Of course, Li Tianzhu has no relationship with the Li family. The Li family clearly stated that this is a forced relationship. She is not a member of the Taiping Dao Li family, and there is no such person in the "Tian" generation. Just like Qi Xuansu has no relationship with the Shuzhou Qi family.

The Li family is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.

It is hard to say whether the efficiency of Beichen Hall is so high that it is related to this.

In the attachment of Beichen Hall, there is also a detail mentioned that after Li Tianzhu graduated from Wanxiang Dao Palace, he worked as a secretary of Zhang Jue.

Li Tianzhu is not a member of the Li family, but Zhang Jue is a member of the Zhang family, and is listed in the "Ju" generation of the family tree. Although this person cannot be compared with Zhang Jucheng, he is not an ordinary person. He used to be the assistant of Wanxiang Dao Palace and the second in the Dao Mansion. Now he is the third deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall.

Quite amazing.

Now Qingwei Zhenren is in charge of Ziwei Hall, so Beichen Hall also reported the matter to Qingwei Zhenren. After obtaining Qingwei Zhenren's consent, a comprehensive investigation was launched.

It doesn't matter if we don't investigate. This deputy hall master Zhang actually made a mistake.

This mistake is not big or small, it is mainly a problem of work style.

It can be handled in a big or small way. If it is serious, he will be directly dismissed from office. If it is light, he will be fined three cups of wine.

Which three cups of wine?

Honestly confess, seriously examine, and reflect deeply.

Zhang Juji was born in a noble family, and the woman did not make a fuss, so the matter was naturally suppressed, that is, fined three cups of wine.

If the woman makes a scene, and the situation becomes serious, and the impact is very bad, then it will not end well, and even the Zhang family cannot openly protect him.

Back then, many people wanted to bring down Qi Xuansu, and they planned to start with his feminine style. Fortunately, there was Qi Niang, who helped Qi Xuansu to get rid of them. Qi Xuansu was not easy to do, but Qi Niang was really ruthless. If you fall into Qi Niang's hands, you will neither be able to live nor die.

Qi Niang is not afraid of people saying that she bullies women, she hits women.

It's true that Qi Niang's method is very effective. Few people do this later, and the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is still very significant.

In the Confucian era, this was not a big problem. In the end, it was a different era.

When Zhang Juezhi got into trouble, Li Tianzhu happened to be his secretary. This time, Zhang Juezhi also made great efforts to recommend Li Tianzhu to be the deputy lord of the Western Region Dao Mansion. First, Zhang Juezhi worked in Ziwei Hall and was able to exert his strength. Second, Zhang Juezhi had some connections in Wanxiang Dao Palace and also made efforts when recommending.

With this two-pronged approach, Li Tianzhu was promoted.

A secretary became the deputy lord of the palace in just a few years, comparable to Chen Jianchou, Xie Jiaofeng and others.

But Chen Jianchou was Qi Xuansu's secretary, and he also had the blessing of Xu Jiaorong and the Chen family, while Xie Jiaofeng was the secretary of Donghua Zhenren. How could they be the same?

Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren arranged secretaries, which could not be said to be easy, nor would it take much effort.

But Zhang Juezhi is different. It takes a lot of effort to arrange such a high position, and it also requires a lot of personal connections. The debt of favor is the most priceless. Why does Zhang Juezhi spend so much effort to support a secretary? She is not his own daughter.

If Zhang Juezhi is caught by someone, then it makes sense.

Assuming that Zhang Juezhi's case was set up by someone, Li Tianzhu may be one of the important characters.

Under normal circumstances, being able to accurately locate the real person level is definitely leaked by someone around.

Chen Zhengxian is like this, and so is Zhang Juezhi.

Beichen Hall has taken measures against Zhang Juezhi. The specific investigation results have not yet come out, but it is mostly related.

In addition, this Li Tianzhu also served as a senior assistant of Nanyang United Trading Company.

You should know that the Nanyang United Trade Company is deeply bound to the Borneo Daofu. The two sides have carried out a lot of cooperation, including military affairs. When Qi Xuansu was the chief of the Borneo Daofu, he could not sell weapons to Westerners in the name of the Daofu, but through the channels of the Nanyang United Trade Company.

It can be said that the Nanyang United Trade Company involves many Daofu secrets. If there is a problem with the Nanyang United Trade Company, many arrangements of the Daofu will have to be adjusted on a large scale.

It just so happens that this matter is also related to Qi Xuansu. He was the one who handled the reorganization of the Nanyang United Trade Company and presided over the foreign arms sales.

The Nanyang United Trade Company exploded, and the first one to explode was Qi Xuansu.

Maybe Qi Xuansu will not be killed by the explosion, but will the eighth generation of the Grand Master still be elected? This issue cannot be ignored.

So Qi Xuansu doesn't care about equality, proportion, or even personnel issues at all. These are all details. The real problem lies in the safety of the Daomen.

Qi Xuansu even thought that the goddess would spend so much effort to lay out so many hidden cards. It was impossible that she was simply calculating against him or disgusting him, but she wanted to infiltrate the Taoist sect comprehensively and even cultivate a group of high-level people who were alienated from the Taoist sect.

This time, Li Tianzhu must have been greedy for merit and reckless. He accidentally went alone and accidentally exposed his feet. He was eventually discovered and then followed the clues to find the real reason.

In fact, the forces outside the domain also understand that with the size of the Taoist sect, what big waves can these little ghosts stir up? The current Taoist sect is very stable as a whole. Although internal conflicts always exist, with the handshake and peace between Donghua Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren, it is still generally within the controllable range. It is difficult for the means of inserting internal ghosts to have any substantial impact on the world pattern of the East-West hegemony.

To put it bluntly, this is not an organized and planned action planned by the forces outside the domain. It is just that Li Tianzhu has a sharp weapon and a murderous heart. In order to make merit, to show off, and to flatter and accept the name of surrender, he played too much.

After all, if he doesn't show off his power as the deputy lord of the mansion, wouldn't he have sat in this position in vain?

The result is to catch the real ghost by catching the wind and the shadow.

For the forces outside the domain, the fundamental purpose of their inserting internal ghosts is to collect intelligence, to know the movements of the high-level leaders of the sect, and to respond in advance. Therefore, for them, it is the choice to maximize the benefits to delay the exposure of the internal ghost as much as possible and let the internal ghost climb as high as possible.

It is very stupid to let a high-level spy take the risk of being exposed to seize power.

So the forces behind Li Tianzhu probably did not expect such a mistake and did not take any action.

In any case, a major campaign to rectify the atmosphere is imperative.

Cihang Zhenren has already started.

She personally summoned the top leaders of the Women Taoist Mutual Aid Association. Except for Yan Da Zhenren and Li Ruoshui, Shi Bingyun, Ye Qingshuang and other Zhenren who were absent, all the others were present, including Zhang Yuelu, Yun Qingping and others.

It was a big scene.

This was the first time that Cihang Zhenren presided over a meeting after becoming the wife of the Grand Master.

Although Cihang Zhenren is no longer a Canzhi Zhenren, she has gone a step further. She is not only a first-grade innocent Taoist, but also a deputy master of the Grand Master, ranking first among the nine grades and twelve levels, because the Grand Master is a super-grade and not among the nine grades.

And because the wife of the Grand Master represents female Taoist priests, she ranks third in the official ranking of the Taoist sect, second only to the first Taoist priest, the Grand Master, and the second Taoist priest, the Great Xuan Emperor, regardless of actual power.

As for how the three masters are ranked, it is generally based on who has more seniority, seniority, and age, that is, first come first served, and there is no fixed number.

The wife of the Grand Master first made a profound self-examination, and then asked a question: "All day long, there are forces from outside the domain, so where are our forces from the domain? Why are they all absent?

"For so many years, all kinds of institutions and organizations are available, and the Taoist sect has been shouting about equality for so many years, but in the end, outsiders used the banner of equality to defeat us, and we are still female Taoist priests, and we can't say a word? No resistance or counterattack? Give up all the ideological territory to others, so how can they not infiltrate?

"Is it a crooked butt, or incompetence? Has this really become a place for nepotism in the mouths of others? Or is someone trying to keep the enemy for self-preservation?

"It's not a big chess game. ”

The entire venue was silent.
