Chapter 27 I see, twenty-seven

While Feng Zhong intervened in the murder case in a high-profile manner, Qin Tai and the other three left Zhumadian unconsciously. They did not continue to Sichuan, but rode on the horses brought by Feng Zhong and rushed to Jiangxi as fast as they could. This time, Qin Tai and the others no longer used their identity as merchants, they took the Jinyi Wei waist card given by Feng Zhong, and rushed to Longhu Mountain as Jinyi Wei. Because Jinyiwei belonged directly to the emperor, even the cabinet did not dare to intervene, so no one stopped or inquired along the road. Qin Tai also knew that someone had already paid attention to them, and they simply went to Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet of Anhuixiang, to report on the bizarre murder case in Zhumadian. Originally, the first assistant of the cabinet was not qualified to meddle in Jinyiwei, but now Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, is different, he not only dares to meddle in the affairs of Jinyiwei, but even dares to take care of the affairs of Emperor Wanli. This reason was not only believed by everyone, but it also paralyzed the people of the Cult. A dignified cabinet chief assistant, it is too late to deal with military affairs, and now there is a life lawsuit in the local area and he has to be notified, it seems that this Zhang Juzheng has no time to pay attention to the time of the Divine Sect.

In just three days, Qin Tai took his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao and his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu to Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain is the base camp of Zhang Tianshi's family, and anyone who comes to Longhu Mountain must inform Zhang Tianshi. If Zhang Tianshi only had a local identity, or as a Taoist spiritual leader, Qin Tai could still rush up and forcibly meet regardless of it. It's a pity that in addition to these identities, Zhang Linkong is also a first-class national teacher personally appointed by the imperial court, and the first thing the emperors did when they took office was to re-reward those living nobles. For example, Zhang Tianshi, the descendants of Confucius, etc., after the new reward, the status of these people was stable, and their residences were also protected by the government. Take Zhang Tianshi's family as an example, the imperial court allowed them to establish a private army with a number of about 300 people, nominally protecting Zhang Tianshi, but in fact they were Zhang Tianshi's thugs and bodyguards. Qin Tai couldn't hit it, so he had to worship the mountain according to a certain etiquette.

Qin Tai no longer has the status of an official official, and he is not a common man who has been dismissed from his post for the people, so he has to go to worship the mountain in an official capacity. His name card indicates that Qin Tai, a former official of the Criminal Department, has no rank, no position, and no current status. This is also a kind of helplessness, the imperial court only gave Qin Tai an informal invitation, and did not give Qin Tai a formal rank position. After the gatekeeper disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain glanced at Qin Tai, he did not immediately go in to report it, because an expired official like Qin Tai was not qualified to meet Zhang Linkong and Zhang Tianshi.

The attitude of the disciple who guarded the door made Zhan Xiaoxiao very annoyed, if it wasn't for her husband Qin Tai not letting her do it, Zhan Xiaoxiao would have wanted to break in a long time ago. Zhang Tianshi sounds scaring people, but in fact, their skills are all fake, if they really fight, these people will be able to settle all of them alone. The disciple who guarded the gate didn't know that his actions almost killed Longhu Mountain and himself, he thought that Qin Tai and the others would not dare to do anything in Longhu Mountain again.

"Bold, scoundrel. Dare to be rude to Lord Qin, and apologize quickly. What kind of person is Madam Qin, as long as she wants to do it, ten you are not her opponent. Lord Qin, you saved thousands of lives back then, and you were called a living bodhisattva by the local people. Your deeds have long been spread all over the country. The disciples don't know that you are here, so please forgive me for the offense. Madam Qin, your name has long been admired in the future. Back then, you killed 37 Japanese in one day, and you really admired it when you learned about it. Zhang Ying, the steward of the Lower Heavenly Master's Mansion, was ordered by the Heavenly Master to invite the two and this little brother in. "A middle-aged man finally appeared in time.

After listening to the words of the steward, the disciples of the gate knew that these two people were so good, and the woman alone killed more than 300 people and scared people to death. The disciple who guarded the door hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake and begged Qin Tai and his wife to forgive him for his ignorance. Of course, Qin Tai and his wife would not target this gatekeeper disciple, so they had to promise not to pursue the gatekeeper's rudeness.

Zhang Ying took Qin Tai and the others to the hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which was part of Longhu Mountain and was the private residence of the previous generations of Zhang Tianshi. Longhu Mountain is the base camp of Zhang Tianshi, and the Taoist temple under the mountain is the place where the statue of Zhang Daoling, the first generation of Zhang Tianshi, is enshrined. It is said that when Zhang Daoling's family was underdeveloped, the front was a Taoist temple and the back was a residence, and later it was officially rebuilt into a Taoist temple when it was developed. The middle waist of the mountain is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it is said that it was built by Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to Zhang Tianshi's house, and the inscription on it is also Zhu Di's own handwriting, and the book "Heavenly Master's Mansion" is three big characters. Since then, no one dared to trespass into the Heavenly Master's Mansion without permission, because doing so not only offended Zhang Tianshi, but also offended the imperial court and the royal family. Qin Tai knew about this, so he dissuaded his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao not to enter it, otherwise Zhan Xiaoxiao would be in big trouble.

Zhang Linkong was already waiting in the hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and after Qin Tai walked in, he carefully observed the current Zhang Heavenly Master. Just when Qin Tai was observing Zhang Linkong, Zhang Linkong was also observing Qin Tai. Qin Tai looked at this forty-three-year-old Zhang Tianshi, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. This Zhang Tianshi is too good at pretending, not only has a frightening momentum, but also has a murderous aura on his body. Qin Tai suddenly had a new idea, and he decided to go straight to this Zhang Tianshi directly.

Qin Tai didn't sit down either, and said bluntly: "In Xia Qintai, I have something to ask Mr. Zhang Linkong." "Qin Tai does not call Zhang Linkong Zhang Tianshi, which means that Qin Tai and Zhang Linkong and Tianshifu are treated separately. Now Qin Tai consulted Zhang Linkong himself in his private capacity, not Qin Tai, an official, who interrogated Zhang Linkong, the Heavenly Master. After putting aside his official identity, Qin Tai felt that it was more direct and convenient to speak.

After Zhang Ying heard Qin Tai's words, his face changed drastically and he wanted to step forward and say something. At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao also spoke, she said: "This is my husband asking Mr. Zhang, don't intervene in charge of Zhang." Zhan Xiaoxiao also knows that this Zhang Ying is not simple, Zhang Ying is nominally in charge but is actually Zhang Linkong's bodyguard and thug, as long as Zhang Ying is controlled, Zhang Linkong will be obedient.

Zhang Linkong waved his hand and asked Zhang Ying to retreat. Zhang Linkong looked at Qin Tai and his wife and said, "When a distinguished guest comes to visit, you can't slack off. It's not convenient to talk here, so please come with me into the study to talk. Zhang Ying, you take this little brother to sit in the hall for a while. Remember, I'm not seeing anyone, don't disturb our conversation. ”

Zhang Linkong invited Qin Tai and his wife into the study on the side of the hall, Zhan Xiaoxiao guarded the door of the study, and Qin Tai and Zhang Linkong sat in the study. Qin Tai sat opposite Zhang Linkong, and the two of them sat facing each other, each stronger than the other. Qin Tai also knew that he couldn't lose, once he couldn't suppress Zhang Linkong in terms of momentum, Zhang Linkong would look down on Qin Tai. Zhang Linkong is also very bitter in his heart, as a Zhang Tianshi, he can't let anyone look down on the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. But Qin Tai is stronger than Zhang Linkong in terms of both reason and momentum. Zhang Linkong has seen many big names, but none of them are as righteous and powerful as Qin Tai. Even Hai Rui, who dared to offend Emperor Jiajing back then, lacked a strong posture than Qin Tai. Emperor Jiajing and other emperors have dragon qi to protect themselves, but because they have done too many bad things, Zhang Linkong is not afraid of them. As soon as Qin Tai appeared, it made Zhang Linkong, Zhang Tianshi, feel justice and majesty. Qin Tai was worthy of his heart all his life, and everything he did was worthy of the country and the people, so he dared to ask Emperor Jiajing on behalf of the previous emperors. This kind of person is feared by all emperors and ministers, and it is also something that the gods dare not offend, because he has a righteous spirit in him and can truly achieve no taboos. Zhang Tianshi is a person with supernatural powers, and he knows very well that some understandings must not be offended, because these people have already departed from their respective destiny trajectories, and they are actually dealing with things on behalf of God. These people may have an ordinary life, and they may not be able to get ahead in their lives, but once the time comes, even the emperor is not the opponent of these people. Zhang Linkong's ancestor Zhang Daoling is one of them, and God chose him to deal with the evil dragon, which made Zhang Daoling's generation of heavenly masters famous. Nowadays, it is only by relying on this blessing that Zhang Tianshi can enjoy the respect and support of the world. Now that Qin Tai has intervened in this matter, he not only represents the imperial court, but also represents the way of heaven, which Zhang Linkong cannot reverse or prevent.

Qin Tai said: "Mr. Zhang Linkong, Mr. Zhang, there are only three questions for you below. The first question is, are you the one behind the Cult? The second question is, are you the main messenger of the Ning'er incident? The third question is, what exactly are you going to do? What kind of results do you want? Please Mr. Zhang do not hide it, and answer the following questions truthfully according to the actual situation. The next question is Mr. Zhang Linkong's own question, not asking Zhang Tianshi Zhang Daoshi to answer. What you do on your own, don't let the entire Heavenly Master Mansion take responsibility for you. Don't let the whole Taoist mind bear the consequences for your personal actions. Mr. Zhang, you have to listen clearly and understand before answering. ”
