Chapter 11: Sweeping the Ashes (Part II)
On the way to the destination, Qi Xuansu also felt some emotion in his heart.
is also a four-grade Taoist priest, Yao Pei caught a Taoist priest on the Lung Mountain, Zhang Yuelu caught cult demons in various places, and he caught the old bustard in the imperial capital, the gap is indeed a little big, it is conceivable that if there is no accident, the gap will be bigger and bigger in the future. However, Qi Xuansu is not completely without opportunities, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something big may happen in Dijing, this is his chance, as long as he can seize this opportunity, maybe he can go to the next level.
It is true that Daomen has a system of suspension of the year, but Daomen has long taken this into account, and for some special circumstances, there is also a temporary grade, or job grade.
The so-called job grade is not the actual grade. To use a simple analogy, if a person is awarded the second-grade deputy master, it means that only when he is the deputy master of the second-grade Taiyi will he be regarded as a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, and once he leaves, he will no longer have this grade and return to the original Taoist grade. But the real second-grade Taiyi Taoist, regardless of whether he has a related position or not, is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, even if he is demoted to the principal, he is also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist.
Another point is that it is always relatively easy to rise and fall in office, and when there are sufficient reasons, the deputy head of the house and the deputy hall master can arrange the deacon level, the head of the hall, the head of the house, and the head of the palace can arrange the head of the palace, the deputy head of the palace, the deputy head of the hall, and the assistant level, and the head of the head of the sect or the rotating master of the palace can arrange the head of the hall, the head of the house, and the head of the palace.
The rise and fall of the grade is very serious, and the three-grade Youyi Taoist priest was under the jurisdiction of Ziwei Hall before, and the real person and above have to pass the deliberation of Jin Que. For a simple example, Zhang Yuelu can promote Qi Xuansu to a deacon, but she can't promote him from a seventh-grade Taoist priest to a sixth-grade Taoist, all she can do is repay Qi Xuansu.
That's the difference.
Temporary grades are generally used in wartime, as the so-called troubled times produce heroes, there will be a large number of outstanding young people to jump to high positions, but the suspension system will seriously hinder their promotion, a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist as the deputy lord is already very ugly, if a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist directly does the second, chief, and even the lord of a house, it will be even more ugly, the subordinates are higher than the boss's grade, which will undoubtedly cause confusion and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to the boss and subordinates.
As a result, the job grade system came into being, and it would not be awarded at ordinary times, even if it was Zhang Yuelu, he was not awarded the position of the third-grade deputy lord, but served as the deputy lord with the grade of the fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist.
If the Daomen is in chaos and begins to break the convention to enable the job grade, and Qi Xuansu has made great contributions, then the Donghua Zhenren who has mastered Ziwei Hall can completely grant Qi Xuansu a job grade, that is, Qi Xuansu's own grade is still a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and he enjoys the treatment of a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and at the same time he is a third-grade deputy mansion master or a third-grade deputy hall master, as long as he is still in his position, he is a third-grade Youyi Taoist, which is convenient for him to exercise the power of the deputy lord and deter his subordinates in grade.
Wait until the number of years and qualifications are sufficient, and then the official grade will be awarded. Then there is meritorious service, and generally speaking, the higher the position, the easier it is to make meritorious service. Take Qi Xuansu as an example, if he can solve the big case of fraud in the name of Vientiane Dao Palace, Shi Bingyun, as his direct boss, will naturally be able to get the credit of a good leader, and he will be promoted to a higher position in advance, which will also greatly benefit his future future.
However, as Qi Xuansu himself said, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be taken step by step, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so let's start with the dust sweeping in front of you.
In the blink of an eye, the "half-hidden" business was in sight, and Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "Don't let one go." β
The spirit officers moved quickly, and soon surrounded the place.
Zhou Lingguan took the lead and broke in, while Qi Xuansu walked last.
It is true that Qi Xuansu is the first time to do real power, but he has come into contact with many high-grade Taoist priests, and he probably understands what the superior should look like.
In the past, "half-closed door" said that it was the most inferior brothel, and after I went, I didn't have any tea around and listened to music, so I just did that. Today's "half-hidden door" refers to a brothel without paperwork, in fact, the specifications are not low, such as Qi Xuan's green place, its specifications are not inferior to the Chunfeng Building, not to mention the decoration inside, just on the outside of the cornices, lanterns, gatehouses, shadow walls, glass windows, it has been seen, the yard is very large, the ground is paved with neat green bricks, because it has entered autumn, so there are all kinds of chrysanthemums, there is a pot every few steps, not to mention the lights in the building, that is, the courtyard is also brightly lit.
However, Qi Xuansu is a person who has been to the Purple Mansion and seen the world, so he is not so blind that he just swept it casually with an indifferent attitude.
At this time, the people in the courtyard had been alarmed, and many disheveled prostitutes tried to escape, but they were all restrained by the squatting spirit officer, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. In addition, when you look up, you can see the windows on the second and third floors, many women are looking out, and they are also messy, with panicked expressions, but they are still half-covered and half-covered, and the snow-white skin is looming, and some sensitive parts are even more indescribable, which is really dazzling.
As soon as Qi Xuansu entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of fat powder, which did not make him, a celestial, dizzy, but also pungent. There is no need to order, there is already a spirit official who has brought a chair for Qi Xuansu to put behind him.
Qi Xuansu didn't know how many times he sighed about the benefits of power, so he didn't pretend to be a clear prevarication, and sat down unhurriedly.
After a while, the local bustard mother, "embraced" by the two spirit officials, came to Qi Xuansu, was quite calm, and took the initiative to make a blessing to Qi Xuansu: "Say hello to the mage." β
The people who do this business have strange eyes and rich experience, so they don't need Qi Xuansu to sign up for their own number, and they can guess Qi Xuansu's approximate status just from the attitude of the surrounding spirit officials towards Qi Xuansu.
As for why he calls a mage, he is also particular, if Qi Xuansu is just a five-grade Taoist, calling a mage will not offend people, but will have the meaning of flattery, just like ordinary people will shout a general when they see any officer in black, the core concept is that many people are not to blame. The reason why he didn't shout Gao Gong came from common sense, how could a Master Gao Gong come to such a place in person?
Therefore, there is an old saying, it is difficult to become an adult if you are not poor, and you are naΓ―ve without a blow. Many high-grade Taoist priests who have been in the study all their lives are far inferior to these ninth-rate people in terms of dealing with people. However, the big names of the Taoist sect highly respect this kind of "naivety" and call it the heart of a child, so there are many Taoist priests in the flower garden, which is not a problem of the Taoist priests themselves, but a problem deliberately guided by someone above.
Qi Xuansu said: "I am the newly appointed Taoist priest Qi Xuansu, the head of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, and I am ordered by the second deputy lord to rectify the atmosphere of the imperial capital, what does it mean exactly, you should understand, I won't talk nonsense, let your people get dressed and all come to the courtyard, otherwise my people will go to invite them one by one, it will be a beautiful woman." β
The old bustard is the most sleek, and no matter how much he has a backer, he doesn't dare to face the hard top at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Please sit down for a while, and the slave family will call them." After that, seeing that the two spirit officials beside him had no intention of stopping him, he said another blessing, hurriedly took a few steps back, and summoned a few henchmen to ask them to hurry up and call the girls.
There was also a very good woman who presented Qi Xuansu with this year's Ming Qian Mao Tips.
Qi Xuansu didn't even look at it, and the spirit officer standing next to him directly stretched out his hand to stop him.
The woman smiled: "Just a cup of tea, hospitality." β
The spirit officer said expressionlessly: "It's not in accordance with the rules." β
The woman showed a little admiration just right, as if she saw the blue sky.
It's a pity that the flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and from beginning to end, Qi Xuansu didn't take a second look.
After a while, the warblers and swallows got dressed and came to the courtyard from the building one after another, and it was very lively.
In fact, they are not very afraid of investigation, because they operate without a license and do not commit capital crimes, at most they will do hard labor for a period of time, and then when the limelight passes, they can return to their old business. As for why these women don't have papers, the key is that it costs a lot of money to apply for documents, and the business with the book is certainly not as good as the business without the book.
The women naturally also saw Qi Xuansu, the only one who could sit in the field, if in normal times, they naturally had to take a few more glances and show some charming skills, but at this time, Qi Xuansu was surrounded by spirit officials in black armor, and there was a cold and murderous aura, which made them lower their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at half a minute.
Zhou Lingguan came to Qi Xuansu with a knife on his waist, and also held two thick booklets in his hands, one was an account book and the other was a roster.
Qi Xuansu commanded: "Roll call according to the roster." β
Zhou Lingguan responded: "Yes." β
Half an hour later, the roll call was completed, no more, no less.
Qi Xuansu was not panicked, and asked again: "Did you find the dark room or dungeon?" β
On that day in Jinling Mansion, he accidentally entered the dungeon of a courtyard.
Soon, a spirit officer came to report and found a very secret entrance to the dungeon.
After all, these brothels are not secret associations that have been fighting wits and courage with the Daomen for many years, how can some tricks hide the spiritual officials of the Daomen?
Hearing this, the old bustard, who was already worried, suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, and there was no blood on his face, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Qi Xuansu said: "Go, check carefully." β
There are also some spiritual officers who support the past.
He is a celestial himself, even Zhao Fuan is not his opponent, where does he need someone to guard, can the Yingying Yanyan in this courtyard still eat him?
In fact, these women are very knowledgeable and know that something big has happened, and those women who sell their bodies are okay, which is quite a bit of a sense of excitement, after all, they are not less exploited by brothels on weekdays, and the stewards involved in them have no masters.
After about a stick of incense, led by Zhou Lingguan, another group of women were brought out, strictly speaking, they were all half-grown girls, compared to those prostitutes who had learned to be amorous and charming, these small ones were still ignorant.
Qi Xuansu said lightly: "Operate without paperwork, and abduct a woman to force her to become a prostitute, the crime will be added to the first degree." β
The bustard's mother couldn't hold back the pressure, and fell directly to the ground: "Master, wronged, wronged, how could the slave family kidnap the woman, these, these are all bought." β
Qi Xuansu finally smiled and leaned forward slightly: "Where did you buy it?" β
