Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Why should we secretly arrest and detain this person?" Tang Ning was confused. A mere member of the Zhang family was not worth mentioning at all. If it violated the interests of the sect, it would be easy to confiscate his home and exterminate his family, but he had to be arrested secretly. Catching, this is worth pondering.

"The arrest of Zhang Yingxue was just to lure out one person."

"who?"

"Shen Tian asked."

"So this Shen Tianwen is our real target?"

"Yes, this person is a casual cultivator and a Jingyuan Pavilion monk. He and Zhang Yingxue are childhood sweethearts and have been engaged since childhood. However, because his father died young, Zhang Wei intends to let Zhang Yingxue succeed him as the head of the family, but Shen Tianwen doesn't I wanted to marry into my wife, so I never got married."

"I wonder what he committed?"

Malone said: "The headquarters has several lofts and gambling houses outside. A mysterious man broke in the month before last, wreaked havoc, killed many monks in charge, and then fled without any news."

"After our investigation, this person is probably Shen Tianwen, but we don't know his whereabouts now. After some investigation, we learned about his relationship with Zhang Yingxue, so we plan to start from now on to force him to show up."

"Zhang Yingxue is the apple of Zhang Wei's eye, the next generation head of the Zhang family. Her unexplained disappearance will definitely trigger a massive search by the Zhang family. If Shen Tianwen is hiding in Jingyuan Pavilion, or if he has eyes and ears in Jingyuan Pavilion, he will definitely get the news. "

"You only need to arrest and detain Zhang Yingxue, and then send people to keep an eye on the Zhang family. Once Shen Tianwen shows up, arrest him immediately."

"This matter should not be made public. If Shen Tianwen knew that it was us who did it, he would definitely not fall into the trap, so he needs to be arrested secretly."

"This is an order issued by the brigade, take a look!"

Tang Ning took the article and unfolded it. The words written on it were the same as what Ma Long said. It was also stamped with the seal of the First Brigade and Xie Minghua's signature.

"Okay, I understand. If Shen Tianwen never shows up, what should we do with Zhang Yingxue?"

"With good luck, if Shen Tianwen didn't go far away, he might show up within a month or two after getting the news. But there might be no news for two or three years. We can't keep an eye on this place, so the brigade will I leave this task to you and let you complete it. In short, you have to keep an eye on the Zhang family until Shen Tianwen shows up."

Although Ma Long didn't say it clearly, his meaning was already clear. If he couldn't catch Shen Tianwen, he would keep Zhang Yingxue detained. Tang Ning pondered, "Is there a way to change this?"

"What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?"

"We can use Zhang Yingxue to threaten Zhang Wei and ask him to do things for us."

Ma Long said: "It's not that we haven't thought about this, but Zhang Wei is a stubborn person. He has an irreconcilable relationship with Shen Tianwen's father, so he may not be willing to do things for us. We are afraid that if we steal the chicken, we will lose the rice."

"Let's do this! Junior Brother Tang, I'll go back and ask Deputy Yu for instructions. You should act according to our plan and send someone to keep an eye on the Zhang family."

"If Shen Tianwen never shows up, it won't be too late to use Zhang Yingxue to force Zhang Wei into submission."

"Okay, just follow what Brother Ma said." The two discussed some details of the arrest plan before Ma Long took his leave.

Gu Yuanya sent him out of the cave, returned to the main room, and asked curiously: "Master, why did he come? And he is so mysterious."

"It's not a big deal. The brigade gave me a task to arrest someone secretly."

"Hmph! These people just like to use chicken feathers as official arrows. They think it's a big deal! And they won't let me listen."

"Stop complaining. Go and call Chen Xiaofan. I have something for you to do."

"Is it about the brigade's mission? Master, what exactly is it?"

"Go and call someone here first, won't you know later?"

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded and turned around.

About tea time, footsteps sounded outside. Chen Xiaofan entered the inner room and bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"sit down!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Put it aside for a moment. I have something urgent for you to do."

"Yes, I wonder what Uncle Master needs his disciples to do?"

"There is a Zhang family in the northwest of our pavilion. The head of the family is named Zhang Wei, and his daughter is named Zhang Yingxue. I want you to find out the details of these two people. Also, keep an eye on Zhang Yingxue and observe her movements. Be careful not to be discovered. ”

"yes."

"Go!"

"Disciple, take your leave." Chen Xiaofan turned around and left the cave. After leaving the cave, he left Pingling Mountain.

………

In the dark room of Xuanye Sect, two men sat facing each other.

"Junior Brother Xun, why did you ask me to meet so mysteriously?" A burly man asked in a muffled voice.

"Senior Brother Feng, the master has a secret message for you." The pale-faced man turned his hand and took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.

The man surnamed Feng took the article and unfolded it. His expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? The master wants to remove Master Qin Hao from his position as the master of Xuande Hall?"

The man surnamed Xun nodded and said, "Senior Brother Feng, have you read the master's secret order clearly?"

"This...this" the man named Feng was speechless for a moment.

The man surnamed Xun took the article in his hand, rubbed it with both hands, and the flames rose, and the article turned into ashes in an instant.

"Senior Brother Feng, you are aware of what has happened recently. Don't you think that Senior Uncle Qin Hao has gone too far?"

The man surnamed Feng's eyes flickered and his thoughts were spinning. The conflict between the headmaster Chen Jin and the master of the Xuande Hall Qin Hao was almost an open secret in the sect. The two had been at odds for a long time.

When the headmaster was selected, Chen Jin, who had the support of the previous headmaster, won by an advantage. After that, the conflicts between the two did not subside, but intensified. They often had different opinions during discussions and faced court disputes.

This time Wu Qizhi's case caused an uproar within the sect. Focusing on whether Wu Qi should bear responsibility and be convicted and punished, the leader Chen Jin's family and the Xuande Hall master Qin Hao's family launched a fierce overt and covert struggle. The three departments organized by the Prison Department and the Supervision Department went to the sect to discuss matters, and the two sides were very quarrelsome.

On the surface, the dispute was caused by Wu Qi's case. In fact, everyone understood that it was a battle between the headmaster and the master of Xuande Hall for the influence of the sect.

But he never thought that things would develop to this point, and that the headmaster actually intended to remove the master of Xuande Hall.

The position of the palace master is jointly recommended by the disciples above the level of steward of each palace. According to the Xuanmen system, the master cannot directly remove the master of the three palaces, but has the right to propose this resolution, and then the disciples above the level of steward of his palace can A recall resolution can be passed if more than 70% of the votes are cast.

"Wu Qi secretly arrested Taixuanzong's people and brought them to the sect for detention and interrogation. For such a big thing, he didn't even say hello, which made the sect very passive. This not only violated the sect's rules, but also violated the sect's rules. Regardless of safety."

"Imagine if Taixuanzong launches an attack on our sect over this matter, who will bear the responsibility? Now Taixuanzong requires us to give an explanation, but Uncle Qin Hao actually tries to defend him in every possible way and hinders the sect's law enforcement."

"Senior Brother Feng, we all know that this matter was caused by Uncle Qin Hao's disciple Su Wan. For the sake of his disciple's personal relationship, he allowed the sect to bear such a big risk. Isn't this the use of a public weapon for private use? "

"With such indifference between public and private matters, how can one assume the position of the master of Xuande Hall? If we continue to turn a blind eye to this, the sect will eventually be led into a place of eternal disaster."

"The headmaster did this entirely for the benefit of the sect, without any personal grudges." The man surnamed Xun kept lobbying from the side.

The man surnamed Feng was silent for a long time and frowned: "Uncle Qin Hao has deep-rooted influence in the sect, especially in Xuande Hall. His close friends are all in charge of important positions. It may not be that easy to remove him."

"Of course we know about Uncle Qin Hao's influence in Xuande Hall. If we were not sure, the Headmaster would not act so rashly. I'll tell you the truth! The Headmaster has dismissed Master Qin Hao from his post this time. With the consent of most of the masters, they all agreed that Master Qin is no longer suitable to serve as the head of the Xuande Hall, including Masters Zhao and Master Han from your department."

When the man surnamed Feng heard this, his eyes flickered, and after a while he said, "What do you need me to do?"

"All you need to do is cast your vote when the matter is put to a vote."

…

In front of the majestic and majestic cave, a ray of light shot out, and a man with white temples and rosacea appeared.

With a wave of his hand, the talisman disappeared into the inner room. After a while, a petite woman appeared from inside and bowed and saluted: "Uncle Zhao, my master, please come in."

The two of them entered the inner room and came to the main room.

"You go out first." Qin Hao waved his hand, and the woman responded.

"Junior Brother Zhao doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. He must have something important to come here today!"

"To be honest, I am here to be a peacemaker and to discuss a solution."

"Aren't you already in secret contact and preparing to remove me? What else are you discussing with me?"

"Hey, Senior Brother Qin, why are you like this? No one wants to see things get to this point. As long as you are willing to take a step back, there is still room for negotiation. Senior Brother Chen has already shown a lot of strength by asking me to make peace. Great sincerity.”

"If Junior Brother Zhao is here to be a lobbyist, please come back!"

"Senior Brother Qin..."

"Wan'er, see the guests off."
