Pawn Crossing the River

xyQ$ Entering August, Qi Xuansu finally had some free time.

The matter of reorganizing the Nanyang United Trading Company has come to an end for the time being. The Daxuan court officially conferred the title of Chen Jianqiu on Xu Jiaorong's side. Those who should be killed will be killed and those who should be sentenced will be sentenced.

The evidence is conclusive, coupled with focused attention and multi-party advancement, it is natural to have a quick trial and a quick verdict.

Wang Danqing saved his life and was deprived of his status as a Taoist priest. He could regain his freedom after serving twenty years of hard labor.

Wang Jiaoying was sentenced to death, and Wang Jiaoyan and Sun Yaozhen were sentenced to permanent hard labor.

Sun Yaoping was deprived of his status as a Taoist priest and served thirty years of hard labor. He was not deeply involved in the affairs of Nanyang United Trading Company, but he often bullied men and dominated women. After careful calculation, he was sentenced to a heavier sentence than Wang Danqing. After all, Wang Danqing calls himself a madman, so he still wants to save face.

Because of Lin Tianhe's meritorious service, he was not executed, but he was still in permanent hard labor.

Wang Jiaohe was deprived of his status as a real person, which was equivalent to being demoted to a commoner in the past. This undoubtedly gives the ghost country Dongtian the power to deal with it on its own.

Sun Heyu was deprived of his status as a real person and did not have to perform labor service, but was suppressed in the Demon Locking Tower and would never see the light of day again in this life.

The deceased Chen Shuhua was also deprived of all titles and status. Unlike Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu's low-key treatment, Chen Shuhua was named a sinner and a traitor, and a newspaper was published to warn all major authorities.

This is obviously aimed at being infamous for eternity.

To put it bluntly, the problems between Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu are only internal issues, and both of them have merits and demerits, and have made practical contributions to the development of Borneo. They can be discussed behind closed doors. Chen Shuhua's problem involves Buddhism and secret associations. It is of a more egregious nature and more harmful. It must be dealt with severely and exposed to the world.

Then Zheng Jiaohe, Sun Jiaofeng and others received similar treatment. They were deprived of their Taoist status and various titles and stopped there without further investigation.

Lin Qingcheng, Wu Meirong, Guo Yongyan and others were dismissed. Lin Qingcheng was sentenced to death for colluding with the Holy Goddess Society, and Wu Meirong and Guo Yongyan were sentenced to permanent hard labor.

These are the main characters, and there are also some minor characters. Except for some who had blood on their hands and were sentenced to death, most of the others were serving hard labor, with sentences ranging from thirty years to one year.

There are also some people whose problems are relatively minor. There is no judgment of guilt, the highest is removal from office, the lowest is a demerit, and some people have to go back to the Dao Palace to study again.

In addition, Lingguan also dealt with many people internally.

If you ask Master Donghua when he made up his mind to take action against the Wang family, then it was probably when Wang Danqing and Qi Xuansu clashed.

It was not that Master Donghua felt sorry for Qi Xuansu, but that Master Donghua saw the dignified Taoist spiritual officials reduced to servants of the Wang family. On the territory of Ziweitang, the spiritual officers brought by Wang Danqing dared to take action against the deputy master of Ziweitang. , this is still in Yujing, what should the scene be like in Borneo?

Is the spiritual officer the spiritual officer of the Taoist sect? Or a private soldier of the Wang family?

In fact, this was indeed the case. Whether it was Wang Jiaoying forcing the palace or the subsequent all-out confrontation, some spiritual officials were on the side of the Wang family.

The Taoist incident can be used as an excuse for the real person in charge of the government, and all the responsibility is placed on Wang Jiaohe, the real person in charge of the government. The matter with the spiritual officer is no longer possible.

It is said that because of this incident, Landa Zhenren was even recorded a serious demerit. Of course, this matter was kept quiet, and few people even knew about it, which still saved the face of Landa Zhenren. As Master Lan Da, he doesn't have to worry about a major demerit. With his current status, he will either be doomed or be full of glory and will never fall back to Master Shenzhi or an ordinary Master. This is more of a silent expression of dissatisfaction by Jin Que to Zhenren Landa, and it is also a not very serious "humiliation".

Although he did not make any announcement to the outside world, Master Lan Da was still very angry. Naturally, this anger was not directed at Jinque. So Landa Zhenren launched a thorough investigation into the spirit officials. It is said that the intensity was relatively harsh. Many spirit officials were punished and directly took off their armor. Some of them were even convicted and even sentenced to death.

Because the Lingguan is relatively independent, unlike the Taoist system, only the head master, Tiangang Hall, and Lingguan Mansion know all the inside information. Therefore, Qi Xuansu doesn't know much. He only vaguely heard some fragments. The head master personally supervised the two. A first-grade spiritual officer personally went into battle and caught the bad apples. Finally, the master in charge took the lead in reflecting on the merits and demerits of the past years and proposed various new regulations and rules to improve the atmosphere.

Even if Qi Xuansu has heard of it.

It's not that easy to rectify the atmosphere. Even if the master in charge personally takes charge of it, it won't be able to be reversed in an instant.

After dealing with these matters, Qi Xuansu started handing over with Xu Jiaorong and others, preparing to go to the Vientiane Taoist Palace to participate in real-person level courses. In the next month, Xu Jiaorong will preside over the Taoist affairs on his behalf. Of course, nominally, Landa Zhenren should still be in charge, but considering that Xu Jiaorong was the secretary of Landa Zhenren in the past, even if Landa Zhenren is in charge, Xu Jiaorong can handle it easily, and the specific affairs have to be left to Xu Jiaorong of the head.

Qi Xuansu decided to go to Lingnan Taoist Mansion first and meet up with Zhang Yuelu. Then the two of them went to Zhang's house, then to Yujing, and finally to Wanxiang Taoist Palace to report.

This time, Chen Jianchou will not follow Qi Xuansu. He will stay and take the exam in August. Xiao Yin can follow him, because the Wanxiang Dao Palace is not far from the Ghost Kingdom Cave, and she can also take a trip home.

In this way, Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin on the flying boat to Lingnan.

Otherwise, there is a big difference between having a job and not.

At the beginning, Pei Xiaolou was also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but his position was only as an assistant, so he could only take an ordinary flying boat. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu is also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but he is the nominal chief deputy palace master. In fact, he has his own flying boat. The travel expenses are reimbursed by the Taoist palace, and the treatment is completely different.

The teaching this time was personally in charge of Master Shi Da.

Master Shi Da knows these newly promoted second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests very well. Except for a few exceptions, such as Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, most of them are seventh-generation disciples of the "Jiao" generation who are in their prime. Regardless of whether they are young or not, they are all above forty years old and below sixty years old. In terms of position, he is either the second-in-command or the chief, and at the last he is an assistant manager, deputy palace master, or deputy hall master. He is in charge of many people, has rich experience in public affairs, and is very busy.

If you want to teach such a group of people, you can't do it without some real skills. Therefore, among the teachers sent by the Taoist sect, the lowest is Da Zhenren, and the highest is Da Zhenren, deputy head teacher. They cannot be inferior in terms of status. Live. Moreover, you are strictly required to participate, and the matters at hand must be handed over within the specified time. Everyone in the Taoist sect can continue to operate as usual without it, so don't take yourself too seriously.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu didn't dare to neglect him.

Borneo Daofu and Lingnan Daofu are neighbors, and Qi Xuansu set off from Dayu Kingdom, so they are even closer. Within an hour, Qi Xuansu's flying boat landed in Dongdu Mansion.

Dongdu Prefecture is not the capital of Lingnan, Zhang Yuelu is mainly here. Chen Shuwen said that Nanyang United Trading Company seems to be a Nanyang company, but it is essentially based on Daxuan. However, Daxuan is so big that the difference between Liaodong and Northwest China is huge. Specifically, Nanyang United Trading Company is Based in Lingnan, Dongdu Prefecture is an important transfer station, which is why the Nanyang United Trading Company case started from Lingnan.

Qi Xuansu's reorganization of the Nanyang United Trading Company in Borneo also required the cooperation of the Lingnan Province, so Zhang Yuelu had a say in this matter. So it's not that Qi Xuansu is showing favoritism and treating official matters as private matters to discuss with his future Taoist companion, but Zhang Yuelu represents the Lingnan Taoist House. If she doesn't agree, it will be difficult for Qi Xuansu to advance.

The handover was also completed on Zhang Yuelu's side. As soon as Qi Xuansu's flying boat arrived, she boarded the flying boat directly without stopping and headed straight for Yunjin Mountain in Wuzhou, which is adjacent to Lingnan.

On the flying boat, Qi Xuansu was naturally very emotional. The first time I went to Zhangjia, I walked on foot. I walked through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers, and almost died on the way. I thought that all the hardships would be rewarded, but before I left, I still couldn't escape. I met Wu Luo, and the flying boat crashed. A shocking leap.

Looking at today, traveling to Yunjin Mountain in a special flying boat is no different from the Quanzhen Taoists who visited Yunjin Mountain that day. Even Wu Luo is not that scary anymore. Although he failed to take revenge personally, he also fought indirectly with Wu Luo. Wu Luo descended from the gods twice, and the gods descended with all his strength, but they did not end well. It can be said that they were defeated.

Qi Xuansu felt that the day when he faced Wu Luo might not be too far away.

When Zu Tianshi was able to kill Wu Luo the first time, he might not be able to kill him the second time.

This goal that originally seemed out of reach seems not unattainable today.

It is also not far from Lingnan to Wuzhou. Soon, Yunjin Mountain will be in sight.

Zhang Yuelu had already communicated with Shangqing Palace and Wuzhou Taoist Office, so the journey was naturally smooth. Driving into the mist-filled Yunjin Mountain, Qi Xuansu saw the traces of broken mountains through the window of the flying boat, and had new feelings. Back then, he didn't know much about it, but now he has seen a lot of fights between gods and immortals, and he can even appreciate the high level of Xuan Sheng's cultivation.

The flying boat landed, and Zhang Kuping and Tang Jiaohua were waiting.

Zhang Kuping is Zhang Yuelu's clan uncle and the first elder to inspect Qi Xuansu. Times have changed, and when Zhang Kuping sees Qi Xuansu now, it can no longer be said to be a test, but only a welcome.

Tang Jiaohua was the secretary of the Celestial Master, with a low and powerful position.

Qi Xuansu knew the two of them well and took the initiative to salute.

"Zhang...Assistant Manager has been doing well recently." Qi Xuansu almost shouted "Brother Zhang Dao". After all, the people he dealt with in Nanyang were all senior teachers, such as Wang Jiaohe, Xu Jiaorong, Xie Jiaofeng, Zheng Jiaohe, etc. Wait, they were all talking about friendship among peers, and just saying "Brother Tao" was enough. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that this was Zhang Yuelu's natal family, considered an elder, and finally changed his name to Zhang Fuli.

Zhang Kuping did not take it seriously, but returned the courtesy and said: "Everything is fine. Thank you for your help. Tianyuan is concerned about you."

Tang Jiaohua said: "The Heavenly Master is waiting for you two."

Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "Then let's go see the Heavenly Master first, and then we'll talk about other things."
