Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 82

"You..." Wang Tingxu looked at him in horror.

Xu Zisu smiled slightly, stepped forward and took out a piece of rhinoceros horn incense. He raised the fire in his hand, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose. Under his intention, the light smoke surrounded the courtyard, and dozens of women's figures slowly emerged.

After seeing these women, Gan Zongsheng's expression gradually darkened, and then he glanced at Wang Tingxu fiercely.

A smile appeared on Kong Xin's face.

"Come here, take this thief away from me."

Gan Zongsheng sighed secretly, and then stood up: "Commander Kong, can you give me a face and hand this person over to my government office for disposal."

There was a pleading look in Kong Xin's eyes.

Kong Xin raised his eyebrows, as if he had realized something, he looked at Gan Zongsheng hesitantly: "This kid has something to do with you?"

Gan Zongsheng fell into silence after hearing this. Although he did not answer, it was better than any words.

Seeing this, Kong Xin snorted coldly and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Don't say that you are just the prince of Ningzhou, but you are also the emperor who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. These are the original words of Taizu. Could it be that you, a high official in the border area, have forgotten it? "

"What if I insist?" At this moment, Gan Zongsheng seemed to completely let go, his eyes calmed down, and he waved his hands to protect Wang Tingxu behind him: "I am the Lord of Ningzhou Prefecture, although your Demon Suppression Division is authorized by the emperor. , do you dare to touch a hair on my head?"

"He dare not, I dare!"

As soon as Gan Zongsheng finished speaking, a cheer came from the crowd.

Immediately, he saw several figures walking out of the crowd. Looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, Gan Zongsheng suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"As the Lord of Ningzhou Prefecture, a large official from one side of the border patrols the land on behalf of the herders. He doesn't care about the welfare of the people, but actually breaks the law and protects criminals. Lord Gan Prefecture, you are really brave." A figure walked out slowly, without saying a word. In reply to his words, he scolded him sternly.

Faced with the sudden scolding, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense: "Who are you?"

"I am an envoy of the Ministry of Officials and envoys. Under the orders of the Emperor, I supervise all officials and kill them first and then report them."

A Taoist envoy is a transitional position before being transferred to a chief official. His function is to travel around the prefecture, supervise all officials, and kill sycophants and corrupt officials. Even the prince is no exception.

Hearing this, Gan Zongsheng's expression changed, he struggled for a moment, and then looked at the person in front of him: "Do you have faith?"

"Bring the edict."

The big man on the side took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it over.

After looking at it, a smile appeared on Gan Zongsheng's face: "Unknown Brother Zhang has arrived. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you'll forgive me."

Zhang Dunqian glanced at Gan Zongsheng calmly: "No need to say more polite words. No matter what relationship this son has with you, since he has violated the laws of the Jin Dynasty, he should be punished. If the Gan government insists on protecting him, he will bear the consequences."

"Brother Zhang..."

Gan Zongsheng wanted to say something more, but was forced back by Zhang Dunqian's unkind gaze, so he lowered his head in disbelief.

"Commander Kong, please do as you please. Such a traitor will be destined for death."

"Thank you."

Kong Xin looked at the Taoist who appeared in front of him in surprise, nodded, and then sent someone to arrest Wang Tingxu.

"My lord, my lord, save me, save me!"

Listening to the pitiful cry that reached his ears, Gan Zongsheng simply closed his eyes.

"Haha, little master, we meet again. It is indeed fate."

Xu Zisu also had a smile on his face. Although he knew that Zhang Dunqian would be promoted, he didn't expect that it would be so fast and that he would become a Taoist.

"Little Master."

He was accompanied by Xiang Zizhan, the magistrate of Jingshui County.

"Meet two benefactors."

Zhang Dunqian smiled and said: "Young Master, you don't have to be polite. I can return to the court so quickly. I have to thank you very much, Young Master."

He sensed an opportunity when Jingshui County opened a channel in the past, so he wrote to the court. In addition, he still had some influence in the court. After many efforts, he not only returned to the court, but also got a Taoist envoy. As a sinecure, after retiring as the Daoist Envoy, he will most likely work in the Ministry of Personnel, most likely as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

All of this was due to Xu Zisu's opening of the canal, so he felt grateful to Xu Zisu. As for Xiang Zizhan, the magistrate of Jingshui County, he was able to accompany Zhang Dunqian to Beijing.In the eyes of both of them, Xu Zisu should be a lucky star.

Although Kong Xin on the side was surprised, he didn't care.

It's just that Gan Zongsheng's face on the side is not so good. His face is livid, his head is lowered, and his chest is filled with depression.

It’s the damn monk again,
Did he have a conflict with the monk?

Now that the monk was actually acquainted with the Taoist priest who was here, he was almost bursting with anger.

"Everyone, I'm going back first, and I still want to interrogate the thief as to how he committed such a murder."

"Commander Kong, please do as you like."

"Donor Kong, can these scrolls help the young monk to save his soul and enter reincarnation?"

"Of course that's good. You can just come to our Demon Suppression Department later."

After the agreement, Kong Xin led the people from the Demon Suppression Division and left the palace.
Of course, the scroll was taken away with him.

"Young master, you rarely have time, why don't you sit with me?"

Xiang Zizhan immediately spoke: "Little master, my mentor has been talking about you a lot during this time in the capital."

Xu Zisu smiled slightly and nodded.

"Let me introduce to the donor, this is Zhu Yan and Zhu Sansi, a student from Ningzhou."

"Then let's go together."

Zhu Yan looked at Xu Zisu with grateful eyes. Being able to get to know a Taoist would be an unattainable opportunity for him in the future.

After everyone left, only Gan Zongsheng stayed on the spot in a daze, with an ashen complexion. Looking at the familiar mansion in front of him, a feeling of desolation filled his heart, and then he turned around and left dejectedly.

The next day,

The Demon Suppression Division,
"Little monk, you are here."

"The little monk has met the senior."

Kong Xin waved his hand and complained: "You Buddhists are the most noisy. You should learn from other people's old ways."

"Senior, I wonder how Wang Tingxu robbed those women?"

This is what Xu Zisu is curious about. A scholar obviously does not have this ability. Even if he has the backing of the government, he will not be able to leave clues.

"Tooth!"

"This guy made a dirty deal with the tooth shop."

Dental line?

Yahang is under the control of Ningzhou Prefecture, and buying and selling people is a formal unit. However, if it is a secret transaction and plunder, it is very possible. If we talk about strength, Yahang does have such strength.

Kong Xin seemed puzzled and continued to complain: "I also blame that old guy Gan Zongsheng. Under his rule, such a thing can happen. He is a waste."

"The young monk is here to save all the female benefactors. Don't you know those scrolls?"

"I will ask my subordinates to bring it over."

Half an hour later, Xu Zisu returned.

"Senior, there's still one left to go."

Kong Xin handed the scroll to Xu Zisu with a complicated expression: "His father's body is gone. I didn't expect this girl to become a scroll again. I can't afford their family!"

"Donor, have you recovered your memory?"

"Ruolin thanked the young master."

"Okay, little monk sends the donor off for the last journey."
