Chapter 116: The Gospel Ministry
On the other side, the train is heading towards Harrisburg.
The first-class carriage is actually a private compartment with beds and even sleeping.
Although Qi Xuansu and Audrey pretended to be husband and wife, Qi Xuansu didn't intend to fake it, so he just sat on the bed and flipped a special token with two fingers, like a Tai Chi Pisces diagram, but it was not black and white in half, but mainly in black tones, and only two dots were white, which also symbolized that the tone of Beichen Hall would not be so bright, righteous, and morally noble, or even completely contrary.
Qi Xuansu's token is different from other people's tokens, it is more gorgeous, and there is an extra circle of lotus-shaped decorations on the edge of the badge, like a rosette.
In a sense, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall can also be regarded as a humble power, "lowly" depends on who he is compared with, compared with ordinary high-grade Taoist priests, of course, it is not considered a lowly, but compared with the real person who participates in it, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall is a lowly, because he cannot participate in the Jinque deliberations, he has no right to vote. But in terms of the power in his hands, the chief and deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, who is in charge of the huge overseas power of Beichen Hall, has more power than many low-ranking real people, so he is said to be humble and powerful.
The situation is somewhat similar to that of a secretary. If the successive chief and deputy hall masters of Beichen Hall want to go further, they must learn to give up this power, first become an ordinary person who does not have such great power, and seek greater power in the future. Just like the secretary must stay away from the center of power and let one side out, in order to have greater development.
Fortunately, Qi Xuansu does not have to think about the trade-offs between future development and greater power for the time being.
As the top three
The most powerful deputy hall master among the three chief deputy hall masters, the chief of Beichen Hall always has many special features.
In fact, the official Taoist priests of the Beichen Hall naturally called Qi Xuansu the chief deputy hall master—the title when he worked.
But those non-staff personnel won't call Qi Xuansu the chief, their identity is very embarrassing, to put it ugly, isn't it a Taoist priest who deserves to be called a position? This is the prerogative of the Taoist priests. Outsiders can only be called according to the set of mages, high merits, and real people, but let them call real people, and they feel alienated again, after all, they are also their own people in Beichen Hall, so they invented a special name based on this token - lotus.
A pun intended. It not only refers to this special token that resembles a lotus, but also has the meaning of the first seat and the seat, and the lotus refers to the lotus crown, which also means a real person.
Its nature is similar to that the Li family does not call Xuan Sheng and Taishang Dao Ancestor, but prefers to call Holy Ancestor and Great Holy Ancestor. In this way, it shows your intimacy and special status.
In addition, this token can not only be used to prove identity, but also to communicate, but Qi Xuansu has the highest authority, he can take the initiative to contact other token holders, unless special permission, others cannot take the initiative to contact him.
Just half an hour ago, a secret son sent a message to Qi Xuansu, with only three short words: There is a traitor.
This shadow had helped Qi Xuansu forge his identity, so Qi Xuansu allowed this secret to contact him directly.
The dark son didn't know that Qi Xuansu was a rosette, but he only knew that the code name of "Mr. Li" was a high-level member of Beichen Hall.
And then the shadow is lost
contacted, Qi Xuansu preliminarily judged that the shadow son had died.
There was no time to mourn for him, Qi Xuansu had to think about his situation.
It is very common for traitors to appear. After all, the Holy See is not a dry meal, although the steam gospel has canceled the reorganized tribunal from the tribunal on the surface, but there is no vacuum of power, and there will inevitably be other institutions to fill the gap left by the tribunal.
In the New World, the function of the Ministry of Judgment was replaced by the Ministry of Evangelism.
In the Old World, the Congregation of the Evangelization of All Peoples was one of the Holy Congregations of the Holy See, the highest mission body of the Holy See, subordinate to the Holy Congregation of the Holy See, formerly known as the Congregation of the Evangelical Mission, also known as the Council of the Mission.
In order to downplay the influence of the Holy See in the Old World, the Gospel of Steam won hearts and minds by claiming the abolition of the notorious Inquisition. However, the function of the referee is indispensable. As a result, the Steam Gospel reorganized the Ministry of the Gospel of the People and changed its name to the Ministry of the Gospel, which essentially exercised the functions of the Ministry of Justice. The other is nominal allegiance
The Pope, who has actually split the New World, will come to assume the responsibilities of the Congregation for the Evangelization of All Peoples.
In the New World, the most feared phrase of both dignitaries and clergy is "The Ministry of Evangelism invites you to listen to the Gospel of the Supreme Will."
Beichen Hall and the Ministry of Evangelism are also old rivals, and they have won and lost each other.
It is not surprising that Beichen Hall planted shadows and developed shadows, and the Gospel Department purged traitors and plotted against the shadows planted by Beichen Hall.
At this time, the appearance of a traitor means that Qi Xuansu's whereabouts are likely to be exposed.
For Qi Xuansu, unless Strawney directly defected, it was not dangerous for the time being. But it will be very troublesome, he asked for tickets and ferry tickets because of false identities
The question has used a few shadows, and it is easy to find clues, and even see through Qi Xuansu's evacuation route.
This is something that Qi Xuansu had to consider.
Audrey sat opposite Qi Xuansu, observing Qi Xuansu's demeanor, and asked cautiously, "Something happened?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head: "It's not a big deal."
Having said that, Qi Xuansu still gave the order for the relevant personnel to retreat.
This order may expose the information that the rosette is in the Northern Continent, Qi Xuansu considered that this information may have been deliberately released by the Ministry of Gospels, and he had the intention of startling the snake, but he had to give this order.
Who has defected?
Maybe it was the explosion in the lower town that alarmed the Ministry, or maybe Sophia had some kind of agreement with the Ministry.
Qi Xuansu thought so.
In all fairness, he is really not good at espionage, and he is almost a layman. Qingwei Zhenren did not use him to spy on intelligence and eliminate traitors, but mainly to let him be a peacemaker and go to the Southern Continent to mediate and stabilize the situation, not to stir up the spy sea. Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened, which caught Qi Xuansu a little off guard, and he could only take one step at a time.
Qi Xuansu gave a retreat order to many of the shadows of St. York, and how to retreat has its own charter, and Qi Xuansu does not have to worry about it.
Strawney's kind is not touched, their situation is only known to Qingwei Zhenren, Qi Xuansu and the former chief, the relevant chamber of commerce supports Strawney on the surface, Leopold and others are also aware, many parliamentarians are doing similar things, smuggling, trade, joint trade, all for profit
The ministry is powerless to intervene.
Even the deputy hall master level doesn't know Strawney's true identity, so he doesn't have much influence on Strawney, the key is ordinary shadows.
If it is a mid-level or high-level rebellion, then they have a large list of personnel, and it is likely that they will eliminate the low-level shadows, and the retreat order is necessary.
Because Qi Xuansu didn't know who the mutinous person was, it was impossible to block it in advance, so that traitor would also receive a retreat message from Qi Xuansu.
In this case, if the dead shadow was deliberately released by the Ministry of Evangelism in an attempt to startle the snake, then they succeeded.
In a nondescript two-story building in Midtown St. York, a slightly agitated voice echoed, "We were right."
"Yes, sir." Another calm voice responded.
At this time, in the living room on the second floor, a western face was walking back and forth, he was not wearing formal trousers, but wearing a black priest's uniform similar to a long robe, the upper body was not much different from the formal dress, and the hem of the lower body was very long, longer than the coat. At this point, the East and the West were the same, with both Taoist and clergy preferring cumbersome robes.
The other seated face is a typical oriental face, with black pupils and black hair.
Holding a glass, he said unhurriedly, "We deliberately let that shadow send a message to Mr. Li before he died, and soon after, Rosette personally gave the order to retreat. This shows two possibilities, the first possibility is that Mr. Li is a close confidant of the lotus, and Mr. Li immediately reported to the rosette after receiving the news. The second possibility
Mr. Li is the lotus himself."
The West Face stopped
footsteps, looking at the east face: "Sun, which possibility do you prefer?"
Dongfang put down the glass in his hand: "Mr. Lopez, it's hard to say now, after all, just in time for the change, the old rosette has been promoted to the real person, and the new rosette has just taken office, and everyone is very unfamiliar with this new lotus."
This oriental face is named Sun Zhongnu.
The external aspect of the Hokushin Hall is mainly divided into four parts: management, intelligence, operations, and creation.
These four parts are of a very high standard, equivalent to the branch halls of the Great Dao Mansion, and each has an assistant to be in charge of the leadership. In addition, there are six branch halls that do not have a pre-provincial government, and they also have auxiliary positions.
In other words, there are a total of ten assistants under the command of the chief and deputy hall master.
The six branch assistants without the pre-establishment of the provincial government correspond to six regions, the west continent has two regions, the east and west, the west and the continent, the north continent has the south and north regions, and the south continent area.
Sun Zhongnu is the deputy of the assistant of the North Continent North Region, he is not an official Taoist priest, but a fellow Taoist, but the assistant of the North Continent North Region values him very much, so that he is closely involved in various confidential affairs.
Sun Zhongnu's rebellion led to great destruction, and even the assistant of the Northern Region himself fell into the hands of the Ministry of Evangelism.
When Sun Zhongnu was assisting the Ministry of Evangelism in arresting the secret son of Beichen Hall, he accidentally discovered a special existence called "Mr. Li", and he was sure that there had never been a person named Mr. Li before, which made Sun Zhongnu very interested, and then he consulted with Dennis Lopez of the Ministry of Evangelism and decided on this plan.
Sun Zhongnu opened the dossier:
"The ticket to the mission of San Otonio, and two false identities, one named Vincent Kina and the other Valerie Kina."
