Pawn Crossing the River

Jinque responded quickly. Two days after Shi Bingyun and Li Ruoshui reported to Jinque respectively, Jinque made a formal decision.

It has to be said that due to some reasons that are difficult to explain to others, Jinque seems to be making a fuss about this matter. However, it involves a fourth-grade principal. Originally, the Taoist government could handle it internally, but in the end, Jinque sent out A five-person investigative team.

However, Jin Que also knew that just because of Qi Xuansu's matter, it would be too much and would inevitably attract criticism, so he sent people to inspect the Imperial Palace in name only with the help of the Daolu Division's note, and the investigation of Qi Xuansu's matter was just incidental. In this way, it makes more sense.

The five-person investigation team members come from five different places, each with their own division of labor.

Because it involves secret societies and cult monsters, Tiangangtang has no shirk of responsibility. The representative of Tiangangtang is Xiaozhangtang Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu is also the highest-ranking person in the team, so she serves as the convener, which is Lei Xiaohuan's position in the seven-person investigation team during the second Jiangnan case.

And because this is an internal matter of the Taoist sect, Beichen Hall and Feng Xiantang will also be involved. However, Feng Xiantang only sent one person in charge, a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, who is on the same level as Qi Xuansu, and nominally has to obey Zhang Yuelu. Order.

As for Beichen Hall, the person they sent was also a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest, but he was the acting deputy hall master. His surname was Li and his name was Li Changge.

The reason given by Beichen Hall is that although Deputy Head Li won honor and face for the Taoist sect at the Three Religions Conference and was promoted to Acting Deputy Head, he has not experienced much practical experience and is still in the stage of observing politics. In the past Confucianism is a way of talking rather than practicing, so I asked Deputy Hall Master Li to take this opportunity to practice. In addition, Deputy Hall Master Zhang has participated in two major Jiangnan cases and has rich practical experience, so he just needs her guidance.

Li Changge didn't mind that he had to obey Zhang Yuelu's arrangements in name. He said he would obey Jinque's decision and promised to fully cooperate with Deputy Hall Master Zhang and learn from Deputy Hall Master Zhang.

Although Li Changge and Li Tianzhen both have the same surname, they are not the same kind of people. Li Tianzhen is more like Donghuang, unruly, defiant, unscrupulous in his actions, not caring about other people's opinions, and disdainful to hide himself. Li Changge, on the other hand, has quite a bit of the Xuansheng legacy, hiding mysteries inside and showing gentleness on the outside. He is neither domineering nor sharp-edged, but rather has the meaning of a humble gentleman as gentle as jade.

Then there is the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. At first glance, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. However, Qi Xuansu is a disciple of Quanzhen Taoism, so the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, which is only responsible for the internal affairs of Quanzhen Taoism, can also participate. However, the Wanshou Chongyang Palace Bian is not responsible for anything else but Qi Xuansu's case. In fact, it can also be Wuxu Palace, but this matter is decided by Quanzhen Tao itself. Both are acceptable.

If Qi Xuansu was a disciple of Taiping Dao, then he would have come to Zhenjing Courtyard or Qingling Palace.

The person sent by the Wanshou Chongyang Palace is the new assistant minister Yao Pei, and her position is high enough. However, because her Taoist rank is only a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest, which is one step lower than the third-grade Youyi Taoist Zhang Yuelu, and she does not serve in Yujing, so Below Zhang Yuelu.

The last person is the special envoy of Jinque, who represents Jinque. He is not in Jiutang and works for Jinque. He is one of the high-quality Taoist priests in Jinque who is responsible for specific work. If you want to say who is superior to Shangsantang, except for those who directly belong to Jinque. Outside the Grand Master's Zixiao Palace, there is only the Golden Palace.

During the last seven-person investigation team, Lei Xiaohuan served as the special envoy of Jinque with the title of deputy head of Ziwei Hall. Generally speaking, the convener is also the special envoy of Jinque, so that the power is vested in one person. However, this time, for some unknown reason, the convener Zhang Yuelu did not also serve as the special envoy of Jinque. Instead, he sent another special envoy of Jinque, which provided some supervision. the meaning of.

This is like marching to war. In the past, the order was given to one person, but this time a supervisor was sent over.

This special envoy of Jinque is not a member of the three Taoists, but a neutral Taoist priest directly affiliated with the Grand Master. His surname is Han and his name is Han Yongshuang.

Yujing is more than ten thousand miles away from the Imperial Capital. Even if you take a flying boat, it will take a day or two, so the news will arrive one step ahead of others.

When the upper echelons of the Imperial Palace learned the news, they were naturally shocked.

In the eyes of many people, Jin Que paid too much attention to one aspect, and his protection for Chief Qi was also obvious.

The five-member investigation team, one is Director Qi’s old boss and “close friend”, and the other is Director Qi’s classmate in the palace. Although there is also a proud son of the Li family, they can only interact with one of the above two at most. Even if they cancel each other out, the "Qi-protecting faction" still has the upper hand.

Many people who were originally doubtful about rumors such as "Chief Qi's background is astounding" have no choice but to believe it. After all, facts speak louder than words.

This is true even within the Imperial Palace, let alone outsiders.

Chief Cui went to see Wen Weng again, but not at the Imperial Palace of Taiping Inn, but at Wutong Garden, a first-class residence.

As a regular customer, Mr. Cui did not go through the main gate of Wutong Garden, but walked through the side door and entered a single-family courtyard with three entrances - the first-class courtyards all occupy a large area and have unique caves inside. Many big shots like to stay here. It is not a strange thing for a courtyard to find tranquility in the midst of chaos, and to escape from the world for self-cultivation. I won’t go into details here.

From the front door to the second door to the bedroom, under the eaves of the courtyard, there are red gauze lanterns hanging everywhere. Each lantern reflects the three characters "Wutong Garden", making the back house shine with red light in the sky.

A steward of Wutong Garden was in front, leading Master Cui all the way. The lanterns of "Wutong Garden" flashed over their heads and went back.

Arriving outside the door, the door was now open, and the room was also filled with red light, exuding a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

The steward who led the way stopped there. Manager Cui stepped forward, entered the room, turned around the screen, and saw a round table. Wen Weng was neatly dressed and sitting on the main seat, with a woman beside him, but she only wore a layer of transparent gauze like cicada wings, everything was vaguely visible. As the saying goes, still holding the pipa and half covering the face, it arouses people's imagination.

There is another woman, similarly dressed, sitting far away, playing the pipa.

The big strings are as noisy as the rain, and the small strings are as loud as whispers. The bullets are noisy and mixed, and big and small beads fall on the jade plate.

Wen Weng tilted his ears and tapped his fingers on the table.

This is nothing, the key is that there is another person here, sitting on the guest seat next to Wen Weng, but he is dressed in monk's robes, with three thousand worry threads cut off on his head. At this moment, he is sitting still, but there is someone in his arms.

The house is paved with earth dragon fire paths, and even in the winter weather, it is still as warm as spring. The woman in her arms is greedy for the cold, and has taken off her socks. She has a pair of bare feet, half caged with light gauze, revealing two snow-white shoulders, sitting horizontally. On the monk's lap, two snowy arms hugged the monk's neck, leaning against the monk's chest, giggling.

The monk is none other than Monk Yanxiu, with no trace of lewdness on his face, a solemn appearance, and a posture of sitting calmly, but his hands are moved up and down, respectively, in two sensitive places.

When Master Cui saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. This is worse than a hypocrite, and worse than a fake Taoism. All of these people from the three religions want to destroy human desires. How many of them can do it? They shout that they are not sexually immoral, but secretly they are more shameless than the other. Especially about Buddhism in the Western Regions, he still knows a little about Mingwang Mingfei and Huanxi Zen.

However, Manager Cui didn't show it on his face and was still smiling.

Seeing Master Cui come in, Wen Weng pointed at the woman who was playing the pipa: "Brother Cui, this is specially reserved for you."

Manager Cui is not a serious person, but he is really not in the mood today. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it today, let's talk about business another day."

Wen Weng did not force himself, and let the woman beside him pour him wine, and then ordered the pipa girl: "Keep playing, one song after another, and you are not allowed to stop until I tell you to stop."

The woman responded softly.

Amid the sound of the pipa, the people waiting outside could not hear the conversation between the three of them.

Manager Cui sat across from Monk Yanxiu. On the round table were several plates of exquisite side dishes, three pairs of ivory chopsticks, an exquisite crystal bottle and three luminous cups. The bottles were blood red in color, as if they were shipped from the West. wine.

Just this bottle of wine costs hundreds of dollars, and ordinary people may not be able to save so much money in their lifetime.

But at this moment, Wen Weng poured the wine on the woman next to him at will. The snow-white and tender skin, the wine as red as blood, the thin gauze as thin as cicada wings, and the woman's perfect virginity and shyness, were full of excitement. Under the red light of the room, there is a different kind of beauty.

But it can't help but remind people of a poem: The wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

When Chief Cui first arrived in the Imperial Capital, he was still quite shocked by such things, but now he has become accustomed to it and doesn't take it seriously at all. He just said: "The matter has become serious, and Jinque will use this matter to intervene in the Imperial Palace."

Wen Weng said nothing, but looked at him closely.

Master Cui briefly recounted Jin Que's decision in advance, and then said: "Anyone can see that since the decision was made after Jin Que's small discussion, it is not a matter of a few young eighth-generation disciples acting without authorization, but They represent the seven generations of disciples behind them. In other words, Zhang Yuelu represents Master Cihang, Yao Pei represents Master Donghua, and Li Changge represents Master Qingwei. It is obvious that the three Masters are involved in this matter. After the competition, Master Cihang and Master Donghua gave up their shame and made up their minds to keep Qi Xuansu. Master Qingwei also saw this and didn't want them to get their wish, so they sent the little ancestor of the Li family. , and even specially created a special envoy from Jinque to supervise Zhang Yuelu.

Wen Weng was stunned for a while, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said softly: "The situation has become complicated. Although the young national master is young and promising, he cannot hold up his fists and is difficult to defeat with four hands. Now it seems that Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyiyi have a clear division of labor. , Quanzhen Tao doesn’t care about anything else, it just wants to recruit people. As for the Zhengdao, this Zhang Gaogong is probably here to investigate. "
