Overnight, Qi Xuansu seized four "half-covered" businesses, and immediately became famous in Beicheng. Many of the local snakes in the imperial capital immediately understood one thing, the previous rumors of the Taoist rectification of the imperial capital were not just talking, but moving seriously, and the "good days" of the past were only gone forever.

Qi Xuansu hadn't slept all night, and it wasn't difficult for him to fight those old bustards, and these people would never be more difficult to deal with than the secret association. The key is how to properly resettle the abducted women, but it is very troublesome, you must first ask where she is from, then contact the local provincial government, and finally send the person back.

Between this coming and going, it will be half a month smaller, and during this period, these women were arranged in the Taoist temple under the name of the Dijing Provincial Mansion. Fortunately, this kind of thing doesn't have to be done by Qi Xuansu himself, as long as he orders it, someone else will deal with it.

After a busy night, Qi Xuansu had a little leisure, and pulled a newspaper, because he was also half a martial artist, so he didn't Bigu, he was still eating breakfast, and by the way, he talked to Zhang Yuelu for a while, "boasting" of his results last night.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Yuelu made a few jokes, maybe the two of them really have a heart, Zhang Yuelu just talked about Yao Pei, saying that Yao Pei has recently made a lot of noise in Quanzhen Dao, and many Taoist priests who misbehaved have been taken down by her, and there is no shortage of sons and daughters of big families, as a result, Yao Pei is there to catch the son, and you are here to catch the bustard. It's heaven and earth.

Qi Xuansu didn't care either, and laughed. When two people get along, they can't worry about the future of Daomen all day long, it's too tiring.

It wasn't until Zhang Yuelu was about to leave for Tiangang Hall that the two ended the conversation.

Qi Xuansu looked at the newspaper again to see if there was any new news.

"The Bosa Company supported by the Kingdom of Lune entered the Nanyang region and has formally reached an agreement with the Governor of the Kingdom of Ibia in Pana, which allows the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Lune to enter and exit freely and enjoy tax benefits. According to the deputy lord of Lingnan Province, Chen believes that this means that the Kingdom of Luen has officially intervened in the struggle between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Ibia, and the three parties have become increasingly fierce in order to compete for dominance in West Borneo, and even affected parts of East and South Borneo. ”

Here, Vice President Chen called on the Holy See to shoulder the responsibilities of the leaders of the Western countries, maintain the stability and peace of Nanyang commerce and trade, and urge the Kingdom of Lune, the Kingdom of Ibia, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands to exercise restraint and strive to resolve the dispute through negotiation. If the situation gets out of control further, then the Lingnan Provincial Government and the Nanhai Navy Division will use the necessary means to ensure the stability, safety and unimpeded flow of normal trade and trade. ”

In this regard, the deputy hall master of the ancestral hall Murong said that since ancient times, Borneo, Dong Po Sazhou and other places have been the vassal territories of the Celestial Dynasty in the Central Plains. As we all know, Buddhism originated in East Borneo, so it is also known as the Western religion, and the conflicts between Lune, Ibia, and the Netherlands should not spread to East Bosa and South Borneo. If the three parties still insist on going their own way, ignoring the fact that this place has been a vassal of our Celestial Empire since ancient times, and harming the interests of the Celestial Empire, our Celestial Empire will punish them. ”

"Cardinal Augustus of the Holy See recently said that the Arfa Council behind the Kingdom of Lune is the driving force and mastermind behind the tensions, and all the responsibility lies with the Arfa Council, and he urged the Alpha Council to immediately stop its radical and adventurous behavior and ensure the balance and stability of the West Po Chau region."

"The Saint's accusations were refuted and countered by Douglas of the Alpha Council, whom he considered to be baseless and false accusations designed to cover up the See's incompetence and failures in the Si Po Chau region. The incident in Xiposuzhou fully exposed the decay and depravity within the Holy See. ”

Qi Xuansu was a little emotional.

The Western Regions have just come to an end, and the South Seas are about to be chaotic again, and there is no cleanness all day long. However, the Western side is not much better, there is no more infighting between countries, and the boss of the Holy Court and the second boss of the Arcane Council are also stumbling on each other,-for-tat, which is probably similar to the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism.

As for why the Holy See is unable to mediate the struggle between the nations, the reason is also very simple, it involves a huge issue of the ownership of interests, as the so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, and it is not easy for anyone to speak, unless they directly use force to intervene.

At this moment, Ke Qingqing came back.

Qi Xuansu put down the newspaper in his hand and motioned for Ke Qingqing to sit down and speak.

Ke Qingqing made a brief report to Qi Xuansu on the results of her investigation yesterday.

First of all, she couldn't get the appearance of the fake female mage from Mei Mei's parents, because when Mei Mei's parents recalled, they couldn't remember the details of the fake female mage's appearance, and it was blurry, which shows that this person is not an ordinary charlatan, and it is very likely that he is a cult demon.

Secondly, Qin Lingguan led people to investigate more than 300 families in the vicinity, and found that not only the Mei family was victimized, but also six other families suffered the same thing, a total of seven people were missing, three men and four women, all young boys and girls who were not very old.

This gang of thieves is very cunning and sophisticated, and they have not left any obvious traces, and it is not ruled out that they are still hiding in the north city to play under the lights.

Ke Qing is not very young, but he is quite careful in his actions, and he has already written the report into a statement, and handed it over to Qi Xuansu after the report.

Qi Xuansu pinched his eyebrows: "It's hard work, you and Qin Lingguan should go and rest first." ”

Ke Qingqing retreated.

Not long after, another spiritual officer came to report that there was a person who came to receive people with the name of Master Gao.

Qi Xuansu asked knowingly, "Which old man?" ”

Lingguan 1510 said: "The name card has the words 'Gao Mingyin' written on it. ”

Qi Xuansu snorted lightly: "Qinglin Xun's cave is out of the Xuanfeng, and the Huajing is a high-level hidden pill room." This old man Gao is still a person who reads poetry and books, you go and tell him, let Gao Mingyin personally lead people, and no one else can. If Gao Ming doesn't come and just sends others to entangle, he will just blast people out. ”

"Yes." The spirit officer was about to receive the order and leave, when he suddenly remembered something again, "Chief, that Gao Shide wants 'five stone scatter' in the dark prison again, saying that if we don't give him 'five stone scatter', he will die, if he really dies in the hell......

Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "Then let him die." As long as you can't die, you can endure it, and if you can't help it, you can hit your head against the wall, and you can learn to cut your flesh by self-harm, it's all counted on my head. ”

The spirit officer shuddered and hurriedly turned away.

Qi Xuansu was born as a wild Taoist priest, and he was used to seeing life and death, but he did not have the benevolence of a woman like a Taoist priest in a flower garden.

As for Gao Shide's death in the prison of Daomen, of course it is a troublesome matter, but as long as there is no other voice inside the Dijing Daofu, he can easily suppress it, because he was not punished in the first place, and he was not even shackled with prison equipment, if he died for other reasons, it would be no wonder to others.

Even if there are some different voices within the Dijing Dao Mansion, as long as it is not the real person in charge of the mansion and the chief deputy mansion master, it is nothing, Shi Bingyun, who is the second deputy mansion master, can be suppressed, even if the real person in charge of the mansion and the chief deputy mansion master have opinions, she also has to argue with reason, this is the responsibility of the boss, you let the people under you do things, of course, you have to support your subordinates, otherwise who will give you all the work in the future?

……

The inner city is immeasurably northwestern, and the Jade Emperor Palace is located in the Xuanshang North Square is only separated by a wall, which is considered a neighbor, here is mostly the residence of the wealthy businessmen, and different from the low-key of the officials, the residences here are very gorgeous, and can even be said to be luxurious.

In the past, when Confucianism was in power, the merchants had no status, and the gentry were not only officials, but also had the identities of large landlords and big merchants.

The two factions of merchants are also clearly distinguished, the maritime trade merchants rely more on the Daomen, everything follows the Daomen, and the workshop owners have a closer relationship with the imperial court since the land and manpower, and the officials dare not openly do business on the surface, but there are many intersections with the merchants behind the scenes, and both sides take what they need, so the energy of the merchants is also very large.

If you can take care of both the workshops on land and the trade routes on the sea, you are a real big merchant, a giant tree.

Gaofu is located in this square, and seriously speaking, from here to the Jade Palace, it is not too far to walk.

After the housekeeper sent to return in embarrassment, he reported the matter to his master.

After Gao Mingyin listened, he didn't say anything, just asked the housekeeper to go down.

Judging from his appearance, Gao Mingyin has gray temples, he is about the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is very imposing and elegant, with a smile on his face, but he has his own majesty.

After the housekeeper went down, there was another person beside him, who was his staff and his mastermind, named Jiang Zhupo.

Gao Mingyin pinched the bridge of his nose: "Have you found out the details of this Qi master?" ”

Jiang Zhupo said: "Every time the Daomen personnel transfer is clearly reported, and it is publicly announced, it is not difficult to check, and many of the information of this Qi chief is also clearly written, but it is just ......."

"Just what? Big deal? Gao Mingyin asked.

Jiang Zhupo sighed: "This person became a deacon and Taoist priest as soon as he entered Tiangang Hall, and his boss is Zhang Yuelu, the little master of Tiangang Hall, and it is rumored that he is Zhang Yuelu's lover." Later, he followed Zhang Yuelu to handle the second Jiangnan case of Daomen, and was promoted to the Taoist priest of the four wine sacrifices, and was transferred to Ziweitang as the chief Taoist. When it comes to the Pei family, we can't fail to mention the Yao family, he and Yao Pei are classmates, and they seem to have a good relationship. This time, the Daomen rectified the Dijing Daofu, Donghua Zhenren seconded him from Ziweitang to the Dijing Daofu, and served as the chief Taoist priest under Shi Cixi. ”

Gao Mingyin muttered: "It's really a big deal, this is gold-plated, no wonder you don't take us landlords in your eyes." ”

Jiang Zhupo nodded.

Gao Mingyin said slowly: "But this is not Xijing Mansion, nor Jinling Mansion, this is Dijing, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake." ”
