This matter is considered to be closed.

In fact, this is a moral issue, not to talk about immortal magic and Taoism, and not to talk about all kinds of firearms, even the most backward army, against the unarmed civilians is also a one-sided crushing situation.

But the problem can't be dealt with that way.

Just like the various restraints of the Daomen army in Fenglin Continent, it is very cool when solving problems by force, but a series of hidden dangers that can be brought will make people very unhappy. If you don't make a mistake and push it all the way through, then you will definitely bury a greater disaster.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu's strategy was roughly divided into several steps, the first step was to lower his posture and reason, to relieve the siege of Tianfu Palace, and the second step was to issue martial law, ordering him to return home or leave Lion City within one hour.

These two steps are like filtering, distinguishing those ordinary people who have been incited and coerced, and only then use force.

In fact, most people understand this problem, and this is also where they hesitate, take Qin Hengjun as an example, what is so difficult about ordering suppression? It is not the Venerable Sect of Fenglin Continent, and there is no possibility of defeating the battle. Not to mention using the man in black, even if he single-handedly kills from the east of the city to the west of the city, and then from the south of the city to the north of the city, it is not a big problem.

The key is that he can't predict the final result, he really wants to accidentally injure civilians, intensify contradictions, and all kinds of aftermath are like thunders, I don't know when he will blow him up half to death, which is related to his own vital interests, so he can't make a decision for a long time.

Because of this, after Qi Xuansu successfully relieved the siege of Tianfu Palace, Qin Hengjun was late. In fact, he was just watching before, not watching jokes, because of the accident in Lion City, he couldn't escape responsibility, he didn't know where to start. Essentially, he's a martial artist, and he's really not good at these things.

It wasn't until Qi Xuansu opened a gap that Qin Hengjun saw the hope of solving the problem, so he came to see Qi Xuansu and obeyed Qi Xuansu's command.

As for manipulating people's hearts, this kind of means does exist, and Qi Xuansu will. But this method is too delicate and it is unlikely to be used on a large scale, otherwise the Gu Immortals would not have to preach, and they would just be able to directly demagogue.

Moreover, even if the Dao Gate can manipulate people's minds on a large scale, it cannot be used lightly. This will undoubtedly greatly damage the credibility of the Daomen, destroy the foundation of trust, and every time something goes wrong, people will wonder if they have been manipulated by the Daomen, which can be described as a serious disadvantage in the long run.

[In view of the general environment,

Nowadays, the concept of Taoism is very different from that of Confucianism in the past, and it is not denied that there are still quite a lot of old habits in some Taoist priests, but on the whole, they are still rising in a spiral and moving forward steadily.

Just because the situation has calmed down does not mean that this matter is over.

Qi Xuansu convened another temporary meeting, whether it was the Dao Mansion or the Great Xuan Court, all the people who could manage things in the Lion City had arrived.

Xie Jiaofeng spoke on behalf of the Taoist government, and clearly told the Taoist priests that solving all kinds of aftermath problems, such as accounting for various losses in the city, and holding accountable some of the fish that slipped through the net, this is a task, if anyone does not complete it well, then directly freeze the file, although I can't promote you, but it is not difficult to hold you down. If someone makes any mistakes, then there is nothing to say, choose one of the two options, demotion or dismissal, and even consider reducing the grade of the Taoist priest in serious cases.

Qin Hengjun is aimed at the people of the imperial court, and the content is almost the same, if you don't do it well, you must be held accountable, and if something goes wrong, you must be held accountable.

It's like the sword of Damocles in the mouth of the West, hanging high above the head.

These threats may not be a big deal to some Taoist priests. For example, when Qi Xuansu was a Taoist priest in the past, he didn't have a position, and he didn't even have a case of silver, who is afraid of you. But these people in charge are different, they enjoy the taste of power, and naturally they are not willing to give up power easily, and some people still have a good future, even more so.

Their response is also very simple, the top gives them pressure, and after they go back, they put pressure on the bottom, hang the sword above the heads of the people below, release the cold to every subordinate, and even add oil and vinegar, and finally it becomes layer by layer.

It's a big deal.

At the small discussion behind closed doors, Qi Xuansu severely criticized Xie Jiaofeng and Qin Hengjun, and mercilessly pointed out that the two of them were typical of not thinking about danger in peace, insensitive to the infiltration of the Holy Court, and suspected of dereliction of duty.

Both of them admitted their mistakes very sincerely, and made profound reflections and reviews on the spot. Deputy Mansion Master Xie once talked about the emotion, and almost cried. On the other hand, Deputy Qin Duhu, in the end, is a martial artist, it is almost meaningless, a little stiff, far less vivid than Deputy Mansion Master Xie.

In fact, both of them also understand that they are responsible, do Jiayin Lingguan and Dadu Hu have responsibility? Is there any responsibility for the real people in charge? But no one can say that, without the power of subordinates to hold the boss accountable, it is self-deprecating, and it can only be the boss's boss to hold accountable.

Qi Xuansu naturally understands this truth, but this is not a wrongful assault on the two of them, they are the two "city lords" of Lion City, and they are connected in tandem under their noses, and they don't even notice it, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this kind of layout can not be completed in a hurry in two or three days, there must be long-term planning and layout. They must be responsible for failing to detect it in the past.

In general, the Grand Zhenren of the Governor's Mansion, the Great Protector of the Metropolitan Guard, and the Lingguan of Jiayin are all in charge of military affairs, and as long as there is no large-scale rebellion such as the Zun Sect, their responsibility is really not great. It can't be said that Qi Xuansu has just arrived in Lion City for a few days, and this responsibility must be counted on Qi Xuansu's head.

As for why Qi Xuansu was able to blame Qin Hengjun, it was because not long after the riot, the Dadu Protector who was far away in the imperial capital sent an order to let the Nanting Metropolitan Protector fully cooperate with Qi Zhenren, and during his absence, he asked Qi Zhenren to preside over the overall situation of Lion City on his behalf.

The reason is very simple, messing up the Lion City, of course, it hit Qi Xuansu and put huge pressure on Qi Xuansu, but it also damaged the interests of the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate, and even affected the career of the Grand Protector.

If the chaos in Lion City is so messy that it can't be cleaned up, Qi Xuansu will certainly get out of Nanyang in embarrassment, what will His Majesty the Emperor think of Dadu Hu? Will it be considered that most of the protectors are derelict in their duties? Do you even think that most of them are too much to protect the big responsibility? Therefore, Daduhu's anger can be imagined, so he did not hesitate to stand on Qi Xuansu's side. And Qi Xuansu quickly solved the chaos that was still in the bud, and the ability he showed also allowed Dadu Hu to rest assured that he would hand over the power to Qi Xuansu.

This is that everything is prosperous, and there will be disadvantages, and it has always been a double-edged sword.

Then Qi Xuansu announced in the name of the joint meeting of the nine halls that he would conduct a comprehensive investigation into the internal and external collusion within the provincial government. He told the Taoist priests who were involved that it was the best

It is to wake up early and take the initiative to explain, so that you can get off lightly. If you wait until you find out and then go to cry and wipe your tears, it will be too late to regret it.

The next day, the Lingnan Provincial Government personnel promised by Zhang Yuelu arrived by flying boat, and Qi Xuansu sent all these personnel to Lu Yuting. Wang Jiaohe used this method to put pressure on him, and he put pressure on Nanyang United Company to see who could not support it first.

Everyone can see that Wang Zhenren and Qi Zhenren have already begun to make moves, back and forth. Now it seems that Qi Zhenren is slightly better, after all, Qi Zhenren resolved the riot in Lion City, but no one dares to say that Wang Zhenren will lose, after all, this is the first round, judging from Wang Zhenren's moves, it is also a strong sinking, and Qi Zhenren will be seriously injured if he is not careful.

Qi Xuansu's biggest problem now is that there is a shortage of manpower, the black-clothed man in the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the spiritual officer of the Old Port Propaganda and Comfort Division, are all at his disposal, but he can't use the black-clothed man and the spiritual officer to investigate the internal Taoist problem, there is no problem with suppressing the riot between the two, and the investigation is rough.

Xu Jiaorong is now the second deputy mansion master, and she should be responsible for this matter, but considering that she has just taken office, her foundation is insufficient, and in the previous term of Qi Xuansu, this part of the second deputy mansion master is basically rotten, and it is difficult to say that it is reliable. After Qi Xuansu came to Borneo, in terms of affairs, he still relied on Lu Yuting and Han Yongfeng brought by himself.

Now that manpower is stretched, this is still a part of Zhang Yuelu's support for him, there is no way, he has no choice but to communicate with his prospective mother-in-law, Cihang Zhenren.

This is different from the previous thing, this

It's not just an internal matter of the Daofu, it involves an external force like the Holy Court, and it is only fitting that the Beichen Hall, which specializes in purging traitors, will come forward. According to reason, it should be Beichen Hall who leads the joint deliberations of the nine halls, but the Qingwei real person has no time to clone, so Cihang Zhenren presides over the joint deliberations of the nine halls on his behalf.

As an important Taoist palace second only to Sheji Palace, Tianfu Palace naturally has a "child and mother mirror" that leads directly to Yujing.

Qi Xuansu easily contacted Cihang Zhenren. Cihang Zhenren first congratulated Qi Xuansu on his promotion to a real person, and then Qi Xuansu began to report the specific situation.

After listening to Qi Xuansu's report, Cihang Zhenren said, "You are indeed the hardest hit area for Westerners to infiltrate, and you really need manpower support, how many people do you need?"

Qi Xuansu didn't dare to open his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "A hundred."

Cihang Zhenren laughed and scolded, "You're really welcome, you should be a spirit officer? At the beginning, there were only a few people in the Shaking Light Division of Qingxiao, you don't know it, right? You're going to take half a bite now, and your tone is really not small."

Qi Xuansu was accustomed to bowing down and being small in front of the elders, and said, "Isn't this a sky-high price to sit on the ground and pay back."

"Do you think you're doing business? And bargaining." Cihang was truly humane, "I can only give you fifty people, half of them from Beichen Hall and half from Fengxian Hall. If you still want more, then you might as well ask Qingwei Zhenren, he is the real person in charge of Beichen Hall, and his name is right."

Qi Xuansu said: "Fifty people are fifty people, it's just a soldier, a nest of bears, you have to arrange a capable cadre for me, there is no quantity, there must be a quality."

Cihang Zhenren did not refuse: "I will consider it and give you an answer within three days."
