Chapter 35: The Principals

Qi Xuansu took Gao Mingyin from the Taiping Inn Dijing General Account with great fanfare, and Tianchen Si's side immediately got the news, and then they realized one thing, there was a mistake on Du Yuyan's side.

Tianchen Division was originally waiting for Du Yuyan and others to come back to give an explanation, but until dawn, he didn't see Du Yuyan and others come back, which made Tianchen Division realize that Du Yuyan was not as simple as a mistake, but something happened. But the life lights of Du Yuyan and the others are still on, and they are not even a little dim, which means that they are at least not worried about their lives.

This made the people of Tianchen Division puzzled.

The three stayed in the imperial capital, and the four went out of the city to pursue, but the result was that Qi Xuansu came back with a swagger, but the four of them never returned, and there was no news, and the key was that the four people did not die.

You must know that capturing four celestials alive is much more difficult than ambushing and killing four celestials, and no matter how powerful Qi Xuansu is, it is impossible to capture four of them.

It can't be said that they are short-sighted, everyone knows that pseudo-immortals or immortals can easily deal with a few celestials, but no one will think that Qi Xuansu can ask the pseudo-immortals to make a move, and it is almost the same if they are replaced by Yao Pei or Li Changge.

For this reason, a secret meeting was held within the Tianchen Division.

"I have tried to contact Du Yuyan and the others through the Zimu Fu, but the contact between the Zimu Fu has been cut off, indicating that Du Yuyan and the others should have been lost somewhere, such as a certain cave sky, or a forbidden place with formation protection. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are not worried about their lives for the time being. A Tianchen Division director said.

"I have also sent people outside the city to search within a radius of 100 miles, and the results will be available soon." Another Tianchen Division director added, "But I don't hope much, judging from the style of this Qi Master, he is a thoughtful person and will not leave too many traces on us." ”

The six principals sat around, and there was one less Du Yuyan.

Tianchen Division is a typical lowly authority, its specifications are no different from the Supervision Division, Daolu Division, the chief official is Langzhong, and the director is the director, this is a low position, and the weight does not need to be said, such as the privilege of cutting first and then playing, few are not afraid of them.

In fact, this is also reasonable, in the previous dynasty, the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies was only five grades, but he was known as the "inner minister", and no one was afraid, which was a humble authority. At the beginning of the cabinet, if there were no other officials, those who were not university scholars were only five grades, which could also be regarded as a lowly weight in a sense.

Da Xuan inherited part of the old system of the Great Wei Dynasty, and set many temporary official positions without grades into permanent official positions, such as chief military officer, governor, governor, cabinet minister, etc.

Nowadays, among the ministers, if there is no special official, Shangshu is the first grade, the waiter is the second grade, the Langzhong is the fifth grade, and the principal is the sixth grade.

Even if Daxuan repeatedly advocates the balance between civil and military, military attachΓ©s can also enter and exit the phase, but now, civil officials are more expensive, such as the chief military officer of the town guard is also a second-grade, far from being comparable to a squire. The reason is also simple, regardless of the difference between the center and the locality, there are only twelve people in the six departments, but there are far more than twelve town guard officers, just in Shuzhou, there are four town guard officers, and things are scarce.

Tianchen Shilang is only a positive five grades, but when it comes to status, it can be compared with a book, but it is slightly inferior to the master of ceremonies back then.

His Majesty the Emperor also considered this issue and made amends in other ways.

There are three types of official positions, namely rank officials, loose officials, and honored officials. Take Du Yuyan as an example, the official is the main officer, the loose official is General Zhaoyong, and the commander is the captain of the light car. In this way, her actual ordination officials are only the sixth grade, but the scattered officials and honored officers are all the positive three grades. In this way, during the court meeting, she can also wear the official uniform of the third rank and have equal relations with other officials of the third grade.

These principals not only have the three-grade official body, but also the cultivation of the celestials, which should not be underestimated.

The third principal said: "The matter is already obvious, all the key lies in Qi Xuansu's body, just ask him." ”

The fourth principal sneered: "How can it be so easy, he is a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist of the Daomen, do you know what it means to be a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist who is not yet thirty years old?" Of course we can kill him secretly, in the past so many years, there are not a few Daomen Toshihiko who died halfway, unless there is a great family background, otherwise death is death, and dead people have no value. But on the bright side, we can't move a finger of him, he has made up his mind to hide in the Jade Emperor Palace now, can you still force your way in to find him and ask questions? It's about the face of the Daomen, even if it's Taiping Dao, it won't be on our side. ”

The third principal immediately said: "Then let's talk to the Dijing Dao Mansion first, if something happens to our people, the Li Mansion Master will always give an explanation." ”

"Stupid!" The fifth principal spoke, "In what name do you use to talk to the Imperial Capital Provincial Mansion?" Could it be that our people chased and killed the chief Taoist priest of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, and as a result, the chief Taoist priest of the Dijing Provincial Mansion was safe and sound, but our people disappeared instead? The Dijing Provincial Mansion will not answer you, they will only ask why Tianchen Division is chasing and killing the chief Taoist priest of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, what do you say? ”

The third master was a reckless man, his face suddenly turned red, and he could not speak.

Yes, why did Tianchen Division hunt down and kill the Taoist priest in charge of the Dijing Dao Mansion? If a person dies and bullies the dead and can't speak, naturally it's easy to say anything, how can you fool the past, but the key is that the person is not dead now.

The person in charge who spoke first raised his forehead and said: "The reason is easy to find, the key is that according to what the three people who came back, this Qi mage has a 'Lingering Stone' in his hand, which has recorded some evidence that is very unfavorable to us, if nothing else, this 'Lingering Stone' has been placed on Shi Bingyun's desk." If we really want to come to the door, the lord of the Li Mansion will not come forward, but this Shi Zhenren will come forward, and when the time comes, she will release the 'Lingering Stone' in public, let's not say that we want an explanation, but I am afraid that we will have to give the Dijing Provincial Mansion an explanation. ”

The third is still a little unwilling to be the main thing: "Are we just going to forget it?" That's four celestials, when Your Majesty asked, how would we reply? I'm not responsible. ”

The six principals looked at each other.

If this is an ordinary small family, they can coerce and lure, and even kill people. But the opponent is the Dijing Provincial Mansion, it is a headache, especially that Shi Bingyun, the senior sister is Cihang Zhenren, and she also has a deep relationship with a prince, and it is also intertwined, if she makes trouble, maybe it will really become a situation of a lawsuit in front of the emperor, no matter what His Majesty the Emperor thinks, for the sake of the face of the court, for the majesty of the law, it must be strictly investigated to the end.

This case is not complicated, and there is no mystery, if it is really put on the bright side, it is easy to find out. When the time comes, no one will be able to do well.

After a long time, the sixth principal, who had never spoken, said slowly: "Now it seems that the offensive and defensive situation is different, we can no longer think about asking for an explanation, but should consider how to take ourselves out, and it is too late to wait for Lord Lang Zhong to come back, it is really not possible, so we can only put the blame on Lao Du's side, anyway, she is not there, the strong man will break his wrist." ”

The other five people nodded one after another: "That's all it can be." ”

"Everyone is in a unified voice, don't say it's missing." Someone suggested.

"I'll come first, and we're shocked that this happened."

"We are very saddened that Tianchen Division, the imperial court office that guards the imperial city of the imperial capital, has become a tool for personal gain."

"We are deeply sorry for what happened to the Teikyo Provincial Government and express our sincerest apologies to the Teikyo Provincial Government."

"Du Yuyan's crime is extremely evil, she is mad, she took advantage of Lord Langzhong's absence in the imperial capital, and acted without authorization, this is not Tianchen Division's original intention, it has nothing to do with us."

"We don't know about this, if we want to know the detailed inside story, the top priority is to find Du Yuyan and let her answer in person."

"Du Yuyan's life light is still on, probably she knows that the matter is exposed, so she absconds in fear of crime."

"We have already started to arrange for people to search, but the main responsibility of the Tianchen Division is to protect the Imperial City, so we need the cooperation of the local provincial government and Qingluan Guard."

"Of course, we also have to be responsible, as colleagues, we failed to detect and stop in advance, and we are guilty of negligence."

"The whole Tianchen Division should immediately carry out a thorough self-correction and self-examination, rectify the atmosphere, and prevent the recurrence of such incidents."

"For other people involved in the case, it is necessary to deal with them seriously and give an explanation to the court and the Daomen"

In the middle of a few words, the principals have mastered the calibre.

The second principal said softly: "Then there is, Wen Weng's side ......"

The third principal, who was as hot as fire, took the case: "Damn, we have set up four celestials for his, and there is one of them in charge, how can he stay out of the matter?" We have to go and tell him that this guilt, don't want us Tianchen Si to bear it alone, we can't run away from him. To die, everyone to die together. If you want to carry it, everyone will carry it together. ”

This time, the rest of the directors did not refute the director, and they all recognized this.

……

On the other side, the Governor and Arrest Division is not as gloomy as the Tianchen Division, and many of the "head catchers" in the mouths of the people are talking about Gao Ming's arrest.

Master Gao is also the number one person in the imperial capital, but in less than a month, he fell into the hands of others.

Although it can't be said to be uprooted, Gao Mingyin's defeat is already obvious.

This shocked many people, and in addition to being shocked, they couldn't help but be curious.

Because Xu Feiying had contact and cooperation with Master Qi, many colleagues asked Xu Feiying about this aspect.

Xu Feiying could only answer truthfully, and she was also shocked in her heart.

At the beginning, she took the risk to help Qi Xuansu find clues about Zhang Fakui, but she didn't have a lot of hope, she said that she hoped that Qi Xuansu could close the case as soon as possible, it was really just hope, but she didn't expect that this Master Qi actually did it, and within a few days after the arrest of Zhang Fakui, Gao Mingyin was also taken away, clean and neat, without any mud and water.

Thinking of this, Xu Feiying couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Gao Mingyin is just the beginning, maybe this Qi Master can really bring some new atmosphere?
