Chapter 981 The Holy Maiden
Of course Xuan De is not the master of Qingtian, Ma Weisan is clear: Xuan De's motivation to join the sect is no different from his.The higher one goes to the top, the weaker one's faith is, and the more interests are considered.This is a tacit understanding among the top management.

Hearing that Ma Weisan was very "knowledgeable", Xuan De was quite satisfied.But what happened in Yizhou has already caused a shock inside the main altar, and it can't just slip through without it.Moreover, Yizhou can enshrine 4800 taels of silver every year, which is a large source of income within the sect. Once lost, it will have a great impact on the entire sect-the various folk sects in Shandong province compete fiercely with each other. Only by obtaining financial resources can we expand the territory, and the two complement each other.

On the way to Yizhou, Xuande had already considered the plan over and over again.Getting rid of Ma Weisan is an option, but now that the situation in Yizhou is unstable, he still has to use Ma Weisan's influence—after all, the Yizhou area is his basic base, which has been in operation for many years and is deeply rooted.If you really want to jump over the wall in a hurry and just go directly to Taoist Zhang, it will become difficult to deal with.

There was a fleeting smile on his face, Ma Weisan quickly caught this smile, and immediately cheered up.He hurriedly said again: "The Dharma master is visiting Linyi Prefecture this time, and if there is a place where the disciple needs to serve, the disciple will definitely serve him like a dog."

"You still have some self-knowledge at last." Xuan De sneered and stood up, "It's okay for me to tell you: the incident in Yizhou has already alarmed the leader and the saint of the main altar—what do you think should be done?"

"Yes, yes, for alarming the Fajia, the disciple deserves death!" Ma Weisan heard that he had alarmed the leader and the saint, and fear once again enveloped his body and mind—it is said that the saint can use the primordial spirit to conquer ghosts, It can also steal people's souls and drive living people like puppets.All kinds of horrible legends are endless.

As soon as his legs and feet were weak, he immediately fell to his knees, "The disciple is willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"

In the end, Ma Weisan promised to "offer" an additional 1 taels of Xiangyi to the general altar.Xuan De was quite interested in seeing him, and the 1 taels of offering back to the main altar was considered an explanation, so he relaxed his tone:

"Since you are sincere, I will give you a way to go."

Ma Wei was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Fa, for your kindness."

"You don't need to thank me." Xuan De said coldly, "Life and death, honor and disgrace, you have to fight for it by yourself, otherwise, even this seat can't save you."

"Yes, yes, the disciple must do his best!"

"Get up first." Xuan De said, "Tell me honestly, what is the situation in Yizhou now! Don't hide it!"

Ma Weisan immediately explained the current situation in Yizhou, and asked someone to fetch the list of Yizhou incense halls, and used his pen to list the incense halls that he could still control, the incense halls that had defected, and the incense halls whose attitudes were unknown. outline it.

Totally rebellious, about less than one-third.Xuan De thinks: there is still something to do.

"What a waste." He secretly despised Ma Weisan, instead of using his capital, he shrank his head and hid like a turtle.No matter how powerful this Taoist priest is, he is only alone.

The sub-forum in Yizhou should be replaced by a competent and reliable person in the future.

But how to deal with it, he has to discuss it with other people-this time, the people who came with him are the backbone of the general arena, and they must be given enough respect.However, this is purely polite.Hu Qi'er's miss this time made him secretly happy.Her master, it was this time that he came together with him to get the Holy Maiden of Neifa Hall.

How to deal with Hu Qi'er is within his authority, he has grasped this lifeline, he is not afraid that this arrogant woman will bow down and surrender, and dare not go against him from time to time.Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered his subordinates: "Take the criminal Hu Qi'er to the torture room in the backyard, and I will have a night trial!"

Ma Weisan's study in the main courtyard of the branch altar is his important place for confidentiality. It not only stores a large amount of confidential information and various documents in the branch altar, but also has luxurious and comfortable furnishings.

Now this place has become Xuan De's lodging place - after Ma Weisan donated money, he sent a message to his steward very wisely, asking the steward to send two beautiful, coquettish maidservants to serve Xuan De.

Although Xuan De usually has a high position and power, in the end he is in the general altar, so he has to restrain himself in his actions.Now when it's in the local area, there are people who flatter it and enjoy it happily.

This day, I was drinking and having fun with my two daughters, when suddenly there was a noise outside the door, it seemed that someone was about to break into the study and was arguing with the guards outside.

With a bang, the door was knocked open.A woman in her thirties barged in aggressively. It was Luo Saichun, the Saintess of the Neifa Church who accompanied him to Yizhou to clean up the mess.

Xuan De showed a smile on his face: "It turns out that it is Luo Shengnv, I don't know why you are so anxious to see me?"

Luo Saichun smiled coldly, and waved his hand back: "You all stand down, I have a few words to say to the Master of Proclamation."

Xuan De looked at the people who followed behind, and nodded calmly: "Okay, you all step back first!"

"Sit." He greeted Luo Saichun.

"No need." Luo Saichun said coldly, "Have you already interrogated Ma Weisan and Hu Qi'er?"

"That's right, I asked them a few words." Xuan De readily admitted, "Why, can't I ask?"

"You are the law master of the inner court, and this is a matter within your authority," Luo Saichun said, "Why did you torture Hu Qi'er indiscriminately, and why did you arrest her in the torture hall? Isn't she still facing the wall? Do you want to be punished?"

"She committed such a heinous crime, it is already a light and light punishment to be held in the execution hall and given a few whips," Xuan De sneered, "Saint Luo, I know that your guardian is eager, but don't forget, She lost the opportunity to do business, and fled before the battle. Speaking of crimes, it is not an exaggeration for me to open the incense hall and use the sky to set fire to the punishment. It is already for your sake to show off your noble hand."

Obviously, Luo Saichun didn't buy into the threat in his words, and said with a straight neck: "The eight words of missing a job and running away, not to mention whether you have any evidence, Ma Weisan, as the leader of the altar, divided Yizhou. The altar is falling apart, so shouldn't he be tortured by the sky?"

"What crime should the master of the horse altar take? This seat is clearer than you." Xuan De said, "However, in order to clean up the situation in Yizhou, this seat must rely on him, and it is not too much to treat him a little better. Don't you Forgot, when we set off, the chief altar master allowed me to 'do things cheaply', do you want to despise the chief altar master's order?"

"You're talking nonsense, don't take the life of the head of the altar to suppress me!" Luo Saichun was born as a gangster, with a straightforward personality, "You have taken a fancy to Hu Qi'er for a long time, and you have repeatedly molested her, but this time it was just an opportunity Retaliation! You despicable and shameless villain!"

"Nonsense!" Xuan De slammed the table violently, stood up, and said proudly: "I am a good man who stands up to the heavens and earth, and his actions are as clear as daylight, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense like a woman from a lowly background. Eight ways!"

Luo Saichun used to be a prostitute who walked on a rope—even in the sect with the main members of the lower classes, she came from a very low family background, and she was despised by others for a long time.Later, she climbed to the high position of the sect step by step, but she was still despised secretly.

Xuan De's words made her tremble with anger, but Xuan De was higher than her in terms of teaching rank and martial arts skills.Although the saintesses in the sect are famous and highly respected by ordinary believers, they actually have no real power in the high-level sect.

If there was a real conflict, both sides would suffer, but the damage she suffered was far greater than Xuan De.Not only will it not help the matter, but it will make it even more difficult for Hu Qier, who is already in dire straits, to get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Thinking of this, Luo Saichun forced himself to be calm: "Okay, what do you want?"

"Saint Luo, I think: You should at least know a little bit about superiority and inferiority, so that we can talk about things." Xuan De grinned, "Otherwise, I have nothing to talk to you about."

Luo Saichun deserved to swallow his anger: "Okay, please show me, the Master, how do you plan to do it?"

"That's not too bad." Xuan De was unwilling to humiliate her too much, after all, Luo Saichun was one of the senior members of the sect.

"Saint Luo," he said slowly, "Hu Qi'er's matter can be big or small. It depends on you, the master."

"Tell me. However, if it's about her innocence, don't expect me to help the tyrant!" Luo Saichun gritted his teeth, "I'd rather she die cleanly."

"Hmph, what do you think of me?" Xuan De sneered, "I don't care about the skins." He continued: "You just need to remember, and be careful with your words from now on."

Luo Saichun understood that this old man probably had some shady activities.She is a very smart woman, and she guessed at the first thought that the property of the Yizhou sub-altar and the Ma family must be involved—most likely Xuan Xuan had a black heart.He used Hu Qier again to threaten him to keep silent.

"Okay, I promise you." She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, "It's just that Hu Qi'er must be released immediately!"

In the next few days, Xuan De released Hu Qi'er and Ma Weisan as expected, and ordered them to admit their mistakes in the incense hall, and then "wait for their crimes".

Xuande's plan was well planned, and he had already had a plan for cleaning up Yizhou's situation, so he immediately proposed his own solution.

First of all, to all incense halls, whether they have rebelled or are on the sidelines, issue the general altar post, announcing that the general altar will open the incense hall on a certain date, and order all the local incense masters, ministers, and incense heads to participate in the opening of the hall Grand ceremony to declare the power of our religion.

As long as you are willing to come, you will all express "don't blame the past".Those who don't want to go will "practice the law" and execute a few to make an example to others.With Ma Weisan's influence in the local area and the strength of the envoys sent by the general altar, Xuan De thought that it would not be difficult to force most of the backbone of the local branch altar to participate in the grand ceremony.As for those rebellious Xiangtangs, even if they resolutely refused to come, they would definitely become panicked.
