Qi Xuansu has heard of exorcist Taoist, ghost hunting Taoist, demon subduing Taoist, and has also heard of Mr. Taoist, moral gentleman, or is it the first time he has heard of a guardian, or a guardian?

In fact, no matter what it is called, Qi Xuansu feels that this errand can be simply summarized as sweeping away those illegal brothels without licenses, and putting an end to the disguised prostitution behavior of forcing good people to become prostitutes or raising thin horses, that is, a principle, you can engage in this special profession, but you must be free and voluntary, which also corresponds to the abolition of lowly status by the imperial court and the promotion of equality by the Daomen.

Strictly speaking, this should have been an errand for the Supervision and Arrest Division, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and the Teaching Workshop Division, but for some reason, maybe it was a problem of morality, in short, it fell on the side of the Dijing Provincial Government, and it could also be that the two jointly handled the case.

Of course, Shi Bingyun didn't let Qi Xuansu do this all the time, even if he kept doing this, he didn't need four hundred spirit officials, the main thing was to let Qi Xuansu get familiar with the various situations in the imperial capital as soon as possible, and it was easiest to understand all aspects of the imperial capital by handling this case.

One is because all kinds of brothels are a mixed place, and all the three religions and nine streams gather here. The second is the problem of hiding dirt and dirt derived from it, and brothels are natural shelters and hiding places for cults, demons, and lawbreakers. The third reason is that the transfer of interests behind the brothel is very complex and involves all aspects, not only to maintain order and do some unseemly personal things, but also to be sheltered by official figures, and even to make Taoist characters at the religious level.

As long as Qi Xuansu can sort out this piece, then even if he has an intuitive and profound understanding of the dark side of the imperial capital, he can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the imperial capital, and it will be more convenient to perform the special tasks assigned by Donghua Zhenren in the future.

Speaking of which, this is really difficult for Qi Xuansu, after all, he used to mix the rivers and lakes, even if he had never eaten pork, he had always seen pigs run, and the lower rivers and lakes of the imperial capital were still rivers and lakes in the final analysis, so he was very happy to accept this errand.

After leaving Shi Bingyun's signing room, Qi Xuansu came to his signing room, which was comparable to Zhang Yuelu's signing room in the Shaoguang Division, and there were several rooms inside and outside, the innermost was the quiet room for Qi Xuansu to rest and rest, then the study, then the place to deal with official business, then the living room for the guests, and the outermost was where the secretary was.

With the promotion of Qi Xuansu's position, the number of affairs increased, and someone was inevitably needed to assist him to share part of the case work and miscellaneous affairs, and the Daomen called it "secretary", named after the secretary province and secretary supervisor in ancient times, which originally meant to manage the collection of books and books, and now it is extended to deal with the errand of documents, in short, they are all dealing with words.

My Healing Game

Qi Xuansu's secretary is a six-grade deacon Taoist, and another deacon Taoist priest is a five-grade Taoist, who plays the role of "deputy director", if Qi Xuansu is compared to a county order, then this person is a county official, and in Qi Xuansu's absence, he can act on behalf of Qi Xuansu. As for the other four, they were all spirit officials, and if Qi Xuansu was not there, they would not be able to perform their duties as Taoist priests as spirit officials.

This is the benefit of the real power, compared to when he was in Yujing, the authority in his hand is not a little bit bigger, and he even chases Zhang Yuelu, the deputy hall master, in some aspects.

However, looking at this posture, in a few years, Zhang Yuelu will also be released to be a deputy mansion master, most likely Wuzhou Provincial Government or Jiangnan Provincial Government.

Qi Xuansu summoned six of his subordinates in his signature room and had a brief discussion, mainly to get to know each other.

The name of the deacon of Liupin is Ke Qingqing, and she is a woman. This made Qi Xuansu a little unexpected, it would be a woman, for the reason of avoiding suspicion between men and women, he mentioned it to Shi Bingyun, but he was blocked back by Shi Bingyun's words, the world is different, men and women are the same, if there is no woman on your side, it is morally incorrect. Whether you avoid suspicion or are morally incorrect, choose one for yourself.

In fact, Qi Xuansu did not doubt Ke Qingqing's ability, but over the years, there have been too many male Taoist priests planted on women, and the secretary is a very close position, it is easy to fall into the ditch, even if it does not fall into the ditch, it is easy to spread some rumors. Zhang Yuelu's ear and face was not out of jealousy of the woman, but really for Qi Xuansu's future.

It's just that Qi Xuansu has no choice but to accept it.

Another five-grade deacon named Wang Chongnian, the year of not being confused, is the age of being in the prime of life, and has rich experience, is experienced and steady, and knows the various situations up and down the imperial capital very well.

The other four spirit officials, surnamed Zeng, Gao, Zhou, and Qin, are all four-grade spirit officials. The eldest Gao Lingguan was just in his early forties, while the youngest Qin Lingguan was about the same as Ke Qingqing, and even a few years younger than Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu met these subordinates for the first time, and he didn't think about subduing them, mainly to recognize his face and know it in his heart. And he will not take root in the Imperial Capital Provincial Government, and there is no need to deliberately win people's hearts and cultivate power, just do business.

After the discussion was over, except for Ke Qingqing, who stayed on duty in the outer room, the other five people returned to their own signing room, and Qi Xuansu went to the study in the inner room.

Qi Xuansu closed the door, took off the "First True Sutra" on his waist, and unfolded it.

After a while, the response came from the warp and turned into a light curtain, and Zhang Yuelu appeared in the light curtain.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu was also dressed in formal clothes, and it seemed that she had just finished a meeting, and asked, "Are you all settled?" Are you used to it over there? ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the area of the first good, there is nothing not used to." Qi Xuansu picked up the prayer basket with his hand and took a look around the study, so that Zhang Yuelu on the other side could see it clearly, "How about it, my signing room is not bad, right?" In Yujing, at least the deputy hall master starts. ”

Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "This is a recognized thing, and the treatment of the local Taoist government is better than that of Yujing Jiutang." The same is true for the imperial court, where the elders can only be crowded into a small cabinet room, but the governors can live in eight seats and build a government office. ”

Qi Xuansu told Zhang Yuelu about the task assigned by Shi Bingyun again, and after Zhang Yuelu listened, he muttered: "This is an opportunity. The wind starts at the end of the green grass and ends between the grass. Big influences, big thoughts, and big changes always originate from subtle and imperceptible places, and if you can grasp this aspect well, you can also detect any variables in Dijing as soon as possible. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement and said: "What you said is very reasonable, Daomen vigorously rectified the Imperial Capital Daofu, combined with the explanation of Donghua Zhenren, how do you think that something big will happen in Emperor Kyoto." ”

Zhang Yuelu's face was a little solemn: "Everything is based on your own safety, in addition, be careful of the Li family, and be careful of Li Tianzhen." ”

Qi Xuansu then remembered that the imperial capital was very close to Qizhou, where the Li family was located, and coupled with the marriage of Qin and Li, the imperial capital city could almost be regarded as half of the Li family's home field, so it was reasonable for Li Tianzhen to appear in the imperial capital.

Maybe this son of the Li family is not a jealous person, but he must be a face-saving person, he was slapped in the face by Zhang Yuelu, and he couldn't say that he wanted to get it back from Qi Xuansu.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu still had a little headache.

Since I first met Zhang Yuelu, this name has always been with me, but I have always only heard his name and not seen him, is this time finally going to meet in the imperial capital?

Qi Xuansu attached great importance to it in his heart, but he didn't want to show it on the surface, so he changed the topic and began to talk about his feelings with Zhang Yuelu, although the two were separated for less than three days, but for young people who are in a certain state, it can't be shortened, there was no such condition in the past, and now that there are conditions, it is natural that it cannot be wasted.

As for the specific content, it can only be said that the parties enjoy it and others seem naïve and boring, so I will not repeat it.

However, Zhang Yuelu was still very busy, and after chatting with Qi Xuansu for half an hour, he was about to end the conversation, and then the two said goodbye and took half a stick of incense.

The light curtain dissipated, Qi Xuansu put away the "Chuzhen Sutra", sat behind the bookcase, and flipped through the roster on the table at will, a total of about four hundred and forty people, including four hundred spiritual officials and forty Taoist priests.

At this moment, the "Transmission Array" on Qi Xuansu's book case lit up, and Qi Xuansu clicked on the "Transmission Array" casually, and Ke Qingqing's slightly distorted voice came from inside: "Chief, a letter has sent your package." ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

"Wait, I'll take a look." Then there was the sound of flipping through, and then Ke Qingqing's voice sounded again, revealing a little shock: "The signature is Li Qingnu." ”

Qi Xuansu was also a little surprised.

Ke Qingqing asked cautiously: "Principal, is it the famous Li Qingnu in Jinghua?" ”

Qi Xuansu replied casually: "It should be her." ”

Ke Qingqing only felt that this Qi chief had a background to the sky, and the second deputy mansion master had specially talked to her, so she knew some of the deeds of this boss, and it was said that she had a close relationship with Zhang Yuelu, the little palm of Tiangang Hall, and was also a classmate of Yao Pei of Quanzhen Dao, and now she was involved with Li Qingnu, the righteous daughter of the Li family, and the Zhang, Li, and Yao families were all together.

A moment later, Ke Qingqing walked in with a rosewood box.

"I'm tired." Qi Xuansu motioned for Ke Qingqing to put the box on the bookcase.

After Ke Qingqing put down the box, he didn't need Qi Xuansu's instructions, so he took the initiative to retreat.

Qi Xuansu opened the wooden box and saw a letter on it, after opening it, there was only one page of stationery, and the handwriting was beautiful: "Tianyuan Daoist Brother Taijian: Seeing the words is like meeting, I respect that Daoist Brother has been promoted, and he will arrive in Beijing in the near future. The cold and heat are not often, I hope to cherish the guard, and praise the autumn peace. Li Qingnu bowed. ”

Qi Xuansu put down the letter paper and took out the gift, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

It is actually a set of collector's edition "Xuansheng Cards" issued in the first year of Jiushi, each card is made of talisman material, and the market price is about 5,000 Taiping dollars.

This was his first day in office.

Qi Xuansu knew why so many Taoist priests were planted on the word "money".
