Chapter 31: Arrest
Master Gao Mingyin is rampant in the northern city of Dijing, with countless industries, there are big backers behind him, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and naturally there are guards, but most of these guards are deployed outside the building, and they have been taken down by the spiritual officials of the Dijing Daofu at this time. Even if one or two cultivators are strong people, they are not Qi Xuansu's opponents.
At this time, Gao Mingyin is just alone, although there are full of guests, but these are all people who tend to be inflammatory, if he is well, naturally everyone will flatter, but if he loses power, these people will not come to the well and fall into the stone, they will already be exhausted, I am afraid that if Master Qi calls for it, everyone will cut off the table.
Gao Mingyin was silent, not because he didn't know how to argue, but because the general trend was like this, it was useless to say more. If you make a lot of noise like a shrew, but it only adds to the joke, it is better to keep yourself a little dignity.
As for his behind-the-scenes backer, I'm afraid he is also anxious.
Qi Xuansu can appear here, there are no more than two possibilities.
One possibility is that Qi Xuansu got rid of the pursuit of the seven celestials, which means that the matter has been leaked, and the Dijing Daofu will definitely refuse to give up, and the Tianchen Division will deal with the door-to-door questioning of the Dijing Daofu, and he will definitely dissociate himself from him as soon as possible, where will he come to give him a head, doesn't this make the matter solid?
Another possibility is that Qi Xuansu has already made arrangements, and he turned around and killed these seven celestials, such a loss will inevitably shake the Tianchen Division, and then go up to the heavens, if His Majesty the Emperor personally asks, all kinds of things will be pulled out, and he will do private things with public weapons, or deal with Daomen, I am afraid that a big storm will arise in an instant, and his backer will try his best to make up for it, where will he still have the heart to take care of him.
This is where the general trend lies, and it is not his small manpower that can resist it.
If it was the second possibility, why did Qi Xuansu kill the seven celestials? In Gao Mingyin's mind, it should be the power of the Dijing Provincial Mansion.
Logically speaking, he is a small principal, and he has no such authority. It's no wonder that the deputy mansion lord Shi trusts him too much, and everything he asks for and asks for is all according to him, and she herself is like a puppet in the play, wandering freely all day long, although it can't be said that the real power of the second deputy mansion lord is all in the hands of this little master, but most of it is also stolen by this little master, just like the ministers around the son of heaven, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and he orders the government and the opposition, don't dare to disobey.
If you use the authority of the deputy lord of the mansion, you can set up an ambush to besiege and kill the seven celestials, after all, there are not only Taoist priests in the Daomen, but also spiritual officials and various creations and firearms, as long as they are properly arranged, the celestials can also be killed.
The key Tianchen Division is not the Daomen's own people, if the Daomen's own people are fighting, whether it is the second deputy mansion master, the chief deputy mansion master, or even the real person in charge of the mansion, they dare not rashly call the Daoist power, because the Taoist priests and spiritual officials of the Daoist Mansion are not private soldiers, once they are used, they will be the big handle in the future, so they only dare to use their own personal henchmen, or take action in person. Take the burning of the True Martial Arts Concept as an example, that is, the "Heavenly Court" did it, not a certain deputy mansion master mobilized the Taoist priests and spiritual officials of the Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, could it be that the Jiangnan Provincial Mansion is not as good as the "Heavenly Court"? However, the big people in Jiangnan Province are afraid of giving people a handle.
But it's different to deal with outsiders, and Tianchen Division, who has a vendetta with the Daomen, can let go of his hands and feet, not only can he use his own people in the Daofu, but he doesn't have to hide it, and he can't tie his hands and feet, and at this time the power of the Daofu will be revealed.
In this way, he is not dealing with a small master, but half of the second deputy mansion master, no wonder the emperor and the province call this person "the tenth deputy mansion master".
Ke Qingqing stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand: "Take it away." ”
The two spirit officers immediately stepped forward and walked towards Gao Mingyin.
Gao Mingyin didn't struggle in vain, or ran around, he just stood in place, his eyes not looking at the two spirit officials, but staring at Qi Xuansu. Although Qi Xuansu never spoke after handing over the file to Ke Qingqing, no one knew that he was the real person in charge, and Ke Qingqing was just the mouthpiece who spoke on his behalf.
Qi Xuansu looked at him, his eyes were calm, but he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Gao Mingyin closed his eyes.
After all, he is just a businessman, not those gangsters who lick blood from the knife edge, and he will no longer pretend to be vicious and resentful at this time, nor will he be trapped in the beast and fight, and finally gave his life in vain, so he is still willing to gamble and lose.
Everyone got out of the way, and the two spirit officials came to Gao Mingyin's side unimpeded, set up Gao Mingyin on the left and right, and then went outside.
Gao Shide didn't come back to his senses until this time, he just shouted "Dad", and wanted to reach out to pull Gao Mingyin's sleeve, but after seeing the ink-black Lingguan armor, his hand was only halfway out, and he completely froze there.
Gao Mingyin let the spirit official stand up, and did not look at this son, and said in a calm tone: "Go back and tell your mother, stay at home honestly, and don't move." ”
After that, he was carried away by the spirit officer and went downstairs directly.
Qi Xuansu still stood still, looked around again, and then arched his hand: "Disturb you Yaxing, Qi Xuansu is here to make a compensance to you." ”
Everyone returned the salute.
The buzzing "don't dare" was endless.
Qi Xuansu didn't say anything more, and turned around and left first.
Ke Qingqing followed, and then the spirit officials lined up.
There was silence in the banquet hall on the second floor, and after a long time, someone whispered: "It's really majestic." ”
Qi Xuansu went down the stairs and saw the shopkeeper here.
Taiping Inn is the industry of Taoism, and many of the shopkeepers of the general number have not low Taoist grades, and they are all their own families, so the shopkeeper is neither afraid nor disgusted, but with a little enthusiasm of colleagues, he came forward: "Qi is in charge." ”
Qi Xuansu also had a little more smile on his face: "Thank you Brother Dao for your cooperation this time." ”
"Wherever this is, it's all family." The shopkeeper also smiled, "Master Gao held the banquet here, which is somewhat demonstrative, but since he wants to give Taiping money, we have no reason to refuse." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "It's just convenient for us to take people." ”
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Qi Xuansu said goodbye: "I just took Gao Mingyin, and I have a lot of questions, but I'm afraid that it will be another sleepless night, and I will bother Brother Dao another day." ”
"Master Qi walks slowly." The shopkeeper kept sending Qi Xuansu to the door.
This time, of course, not only Gao Mingyin was arrested, but also his mastermind Jiang Zhupo, as well as a group of stewards involved in this matter, including the leader of the beggar gang in Beicheng.
As for why he didn't arrest Gao Mingyin's son Gao Shide, it is not that Gao Shide is not guilty, but Gao Mingyin paid great attention to protecting Gao Shide and did not let Gao Shide be involved in these things.
As for the matter at the bottom of the green green, the old bustard said that the beggar gang wanted to see Gao Shide's face, but the substantive evidence was not at all, Gao Shide was a gentleman, where did he understand the doorway, and his incompetence helped him escape the catastrophe.
The first time Qi Xuansu arrested Gao Shide, he used the two charges of "five stone scattering" and obstructing official business, not that he was related to the green bottom.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu still put Gao Shide back.
The stronger the opponent, the less obvious the flaws can be.
Qi Xuansu will not give someone a handle at this time, if someone is labeled as a transgression, the situation that was originally a little clear will be muddy again.
It's just that if you don't weigh it, you can't weigh it for four or two, and you can't beat it for a thousand pounds on the scale.
Qi Xuansu kept weighing these seemingly inconsequential "little things" and put them on the bright side, that is, four or two thousand catties, Qi Xuansu's strength was very small, but this scale could turn Qi Xuansu's strength into a monstrous wave. Qi Xuansu knows this trick, and others will naturally do it, so Qi Xuansu must strictly guard against it and not give others a chance to attack him.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu sat in the carriage.
In addition to Ke Qingqing, there was another person in the carriage, who was the main culprit who was arrested this time, Gao Mingyin.
The interior of the carriage is not Western, but authentic oriental.
The so-called Western pattern is that the door is open on one side of the carriage, and there are four seats in the carriage, sitting in pairs.
In the oriental pattern, there is a lack of one of the three around the carriage, and the entrance and exit of the carriage are behind the coachman, and there are only three seats inside.
Qi Xuansu sat in the center of the main seat, Gao Mingyin and Ke Qingqing were on the left and right, and the person in charge of driving was a spirit official.
Qi Xuansu had no interest in talking to Gao Mingyin, and wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but at this time, the "Chuzhen Sutra" on his waist lit up.
Qi Xuansu did not shy away from the two of them, and opened the prayer urn.
Zhang Yuelu's voice came out: "It's over? ”
"It's over." Qi Xuansu responded, "Everything is fine. ”
Zhang Yuelu responded, no longer talked about this matter, nor did she talk about other confidential matters, but just said some homely gossip, with her conservative character, naturally she would not say some sweet words that made outsiders tired after listening to them.
Ke Qingqing was sitting precariously, looking at his nose and nose, but he still vaguely saw the figure of the proud girl of the sky out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was full of reverence.
From Xuansheng to the six generations of the Great Palm Sect, none of them are women, but there are four Masters of the Sect, so many Taoist women hope to produce a female Great Palm Sect to achieve the balance of yin and yang, but for now, Cihang Zhenren is not surnamed Zhang, and he cannot integrate Zhengyi, but I am afraid that there is little hope, and the biggest possibility is to choose one of the two from Donghua Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren to serve as the seventh generation of Dazhangjiao.
This disappointed many women and had to pin their hopes on the next generation, that is, the eighth generation of disciples.
The outstanding characters of this generation of disciples are yin and yang, only one Li Changge is a man, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei are both women, Zhang Yuelu is the most famous, the key is that Zhang Yuelu's surname is Zhang, without the disadvantage of Cihang Zhenren, and he is a personal disciple of Cihang Zhenren, you can gather the forces of the Zhang family and Cihang, and really integrate Zhengyi to compete for the eight generations of the Great Palm Sect.
So over the years, no matter whether Zhang Yuelu and his apprentice are willing or not, they are somewhat like a female leader of the Daomen, and even transcend the boundaries of the three Dao. Quan Zhendao pushed Yao Pei out this time, but he didn't have the intention of dividing.
As for the Taiping Dao, they have always believed in this, the so-called fairness is not begged, but made by themselves. If you don't go through the test of blood and fire, just by shouting a few morally correct slogans, relying on others to take the initiative to back down and give alms, it will be unstable. Today can be allowed because the situation is too peaceful, many people don't mind showing the so-called demeanor, if tomorrow the situation becomes overstretched, difficult to deal with, tearing the veil of warmth and warmth, others don't want to let it? What can I do?
In fact, Zhang Yuelu is also like Taiping Dao, she doesn't believe in this, she only believes in meritocracy, the capable go up and the mediocre go down, and she doesn't want to be pinned on high hopes at all, but the "public opinion" is like this, which often makes her like a needle on her back.
She even thought that if she didn't become a big palm sect, but became a big palm sect lady, I really don't know how she would be "uproared", and would she be regarded as a sinner by some demonic people?
