Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jicheng sat in the signing room drinking tea, waiting for news.

Being in a high position, most things don't have to be done by them themselves, just give orders.

As for what Li Tianlan is doing these days?

He was responsible for accompanying the Xidaomen delegation headed by Huang Fuji to visit the Jiangnan Provincial Government.

Of course, this is not Li Tianlan's original intention, but Zhang Kucheng's meaning.

The reason given by Zhang Jicheng is that Li Cixi has been in Jiangnan Province for the longest time among us, and he is also the most familiar and knowledgeable about Jiangnan Province, and it is best for Li Cixi to accompany the guests to visit.

The reason is legitimate, and Li Tianlan has no room to refuse.

This is the authority of the powerful ruler.

Even if Li Tianlan knew that Zhang Kucheng's move was to drag him down and make him lack skills, he also knew that Zhang Kucheng would definitely have a plan if he didn't come forward in person, but he couldn't help it, who made Zhang Kucheng the real person in charge of the mansion, and he was only the second deputy mansion master? It is to obey orders.

This cannot be generalized with Qi Xuansu's situation. When Qi Xuansu went to Borneo, first, he took the identity of Jinque's envoy, which was the nature of Qincha. The second is that there are Lan Da Zhenren to support him, which is different from the background backer, Lan Da Zhenren is a part of the Borneo Daofu, which is placed on the bright side, and can speak directly and even suppress the real people of the Mansion. The background backer has to make a detour to exert influence, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, which is far from being so direct.

Combining the two circumstances, Qi Xuansu has so much autonomy that he can not listen to Wang Jiaohe's orders.

Later, Yao Shu was actually calculated by Donghua Zhenren, who single-handedly dominated the power structure of Borneo Daofu, including Pei Xiaolou, Xie Jiaofeng, Ji Jiaozhen and others, who were essentially his people, and they naturally understood the spirit of Donghua Zhenren and obeyed Qi Xuansu's orders. Yao Shu is actually a person from Donghua Zhenren, but after the disagreement between Donghua Zhenren and the Earth Master, he is not a person all the way.

Li Tianlan does not have such conditions now. Because after the second Jiangnan case, the power structure of the Jiangnan Provincial Government was reshuffled, and there was a big blood change, which also made many of Li Tianlan's layouts go down the drain and his power was greatly damaged.

Don't think Li Tianlan is very weak, the first time the Jiangnan case was filed, Donghua Zhenren advocated a strict and thorough investigation, and claimed to take this opportunity to dig a gap in the shady scene. As a result, after the two major Jiangnan cases, Li Tianlan is still standing, even if he has the Li family as a backer, it can be seen that Li Tianlan's methods are quite good. But no matter how good the means are, it is impossible to be unscathed, and Li Tianlan still paid a considerable price in the two major cases, which were gradually weakened.

This gave Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jicheng a chance.

Qi Xuansu also saw this, he thought that Zhang Yuelu would become the real person in charge of Jiangnan Province in the future, and then in the position of the real person in charge

, take down Li Tianlan.

That's also a good story, Zhang Yuelu hit Jiangnan Province three times.

It's just that he didn't expect that Qi Xuansu made this process much earlier, and he couldn't wait for Zhang Yuelu to handle the third Jiangnan case.

The person who carried out the specific execution this time is named Zhang Qingyue, who is Zhang Yuelu's cousin, although he is not as famous and talented as his cousin, but he is not an idle person, a disciple of seven generations, an immeasurable stage of cultivation, and now serves as the assistant of the Great True Mansion. This time, he was specially transferred from Wuzhou by Zhang Jicheng to personally carry out this matter.

That's right, Zhang Qingyue is a seventh-generation disciple, although the family is the same generation as Zhang Yuelu, but the Taoist generation is one generation higher, but it is the same generation as Zhang Yucheng's uncle. In terms of age, Zhang Qingyue is almost the same as Bai Yingqiong, and she just bit the tail of seven generations of disciples.

In other words, Zhang Qingyue is the youngest of the seven generations of disciples, and Bai Yingqiong is the oldest of the eight generations of disciples, and the two sides are actually only one year apart.

As for why Bai Yingqiong is now rushing to know the real person, Zhang Qingyue is still an assistant, and it can only be said that her personal experience is different. Realm cultivation is just a hard standard, the most basic pass, not that if you have realm cultivation, you must be in a high position. is also an immortal cultivator, and some people have become a great master, and some people are just Pingzhang Dazhen, which is also a matter of personal experience.

In this regard, male and female Taoists have their own advantages.

Male Taoist priests are easier to ask

Ding supreme power, or basically male Taoist priests hold the supreme power.

Because of her lack of ability, it is difficult for female Taoist priests to reach the highest power. This seems to be a bad sound, but this is the case, in the face of the highest power, no one will carry forward the gentlemanly demeanor, and there is no preferential treatment, all rely on their true skills, what they can do, and what they can't do is not good.

However, under the premise that Taoism advocates equality between men and women, female Taoists can take shortcuts, because many times there are certain requirements for the number of female Taoists, and many big people jokingly call them vases, so female Taoists are indeed a few steps faster at certain times and in certain positions, saving a lot of effort.

To put it bluntly, the competition for male Taoists is too fierce. Sometimes, with the same realm cultivation and the same qualifications, female Taoists can go one step further, and they have to be taken out as a benchmark model and hyped up, and male Taoists can only stand still, which is regarded as ordinary.

This can be seen as a right or preferential treatment, limited to the bottom and middle levels. At the top, it will become a disadvantage.

Whether this is an invisible discrimination or an elaboration of objective facts, it is up to the public

。

Bai Yingqiong also has an advantage, that is, the identity of the eighth generation disciple, this label just corresponds to the youthfulness advocated by the Daomen. Zhang Qingyue suffered a big loss, mixed with seven generations of disciples, not to mention no preferential treatment, and the Daomen did not pay attention to seniority, and the significance of the higher generation was really not much.

All in all, the highest of these preferential treatment is until the second grade Taiyi Taoist, and after that, it doesn't matter whether it is a man or a woman, it all depends on the true ability of each person.

The fact is that among the golden gates, male Taoist priests still occupy the absolute majority. Only in terms of Qi Xuansu's contact, there are only three women who know real people, namely Cihang Zhenren, Li Ruoshui, and Ye Qingshuang.

After all, a leader has to be strong to convince the crowd and make people feel safe. Women are more likely to label themselves as weak, playing the role of the protected, rather than the role of the protector. If a man fails to protect his wife and children, he will be ridiculed and blamed, but no one will accuse his wife of failing to protect her husband, then who can trust a protected person as a leader to protect the safety of others?

How can some people, when they are old, still call themselves schoolgirls and see themselves as a child, how can they take on heavy responsibilities?

Only by first tearing off the label of the protected person on the body and assuming the same responsibilities can we obtain equality in the true sense and get the same power.

The power that comes with preferential treatment is nothing more than handouts from others. Today it can be given to you for one right handout, and tomorrow it can be taken away for the right another.

By you?

Today I can lift you up to the sky, and tomorrow I can trample you under my feet.

What, you're not convinced?

Emperor Shizong of the Great Wei said well, what anyone promised you doesn't count, only what you can do does count.

It will never work if you want me to want it. What you gain, you lose.

Getting back to the point, after Zhang Qingyue received Zhang Jicheng's order, she immediately led people to Li Tianlan's mansion.

Of course, Li Tianlan had the corresponding guards here, but it was impossible for him to send a master of the Infinite Stage to take care of his home and nursing home, and the realm cultivation of these guards was quite limited.

In fact, for Li Tianlan, the biggest barrier is not these guards, but the Daomen.

If someone outside the Daomen wants to move his family, that is to provoke the entire Daomen, which will cause the Daomen to counterattack, and his own Daomen will give him a head, and he will not even be capped. If the person in the Dao Gate wants to touch his family, it must be reasonable, otherwise he will be punished by the Dao Gate, which is tantamount to lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

So Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jicheng took a lot of effort and went around in a big circle, just for this

Makes sense.

Zhang Qingyue knocked on the door of the Li Mansion, and the Daomin who came out to open the door had his own bearing, his heart was slightly cold, but his face did not change, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

In the end, it is the prime minister's concierge and the third-grade official, although he is only a Taoist, but in the face of a group of Taoist spiritual officials, he has no fear.

Zhang Qingyue was silent. The Taoist priest beside him took out a warrant and said in a deep voice, "Ordered, please be expensive

The mistress of the mansion walked with us to be investigated."

This Taoist was a little unresponsive, "Do you want my wife to come with you? Do you know who my lord is?"

"Sir?" The Taoist priest smiled coldly, "It's not the era of Confucianism anymore, how can there still be such a dross title as 'Master?'

The Taoist said, "What kind of dross is not dross, the lord is the master, my lord is the second deputy head of the Jiangnan Provincial Government, whose order did you follow?"

The Taoist priest said calmly, "Of course, it is the order of the real person in charge."

It was only at this time that Daomin was a little scared, the current real person in charge of the mansion was not as powerful as before, so powerful, and his own master had to let him score three points.

How good is that?

At this moment, Zhang Qingyue, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "Get out of the way!"

The Taoist priest beside Zhang Qingyue directly stretched out his hand and pushed the Taoist aside, and then Zhang Qingyue led the people to break into the Li Mansion.

At this time, a cadre of guards in the palace also rushed out.

Zhang Qingyue said in a deep voice, "On the order of the real person in charge of the mansion, take Gu Ying away for investigation, whoever dares to obstruct it will be against the Daofu!"

To fight against the Daofu is to fight against the Daomen.

The guards hesitated, this hat was too big to bear. And now the situation is unclear, if Li Tianlan really has an accident, then there is no need for them to follow the funeral.

The leader of the guards stubbornly said, "Who are you, I've been in the Daofu for many years, why haven't I seen you before?"

Zhang Qingyue said, "I am Zhang Qingyue, the assistant of the Great True Mansion, and I am ordered to assist in handling cases in other places."

Hearing the words "handling cases in other places", the faces of the people turned white again, if it wasn't for dealing with their own people inside the provincial government, how could they transfer people from other places?

But where the responsibility lies, they don't dare to back down easily, neither advance nor retreat. There are people who are not afraid of the Taoist government, such as the people of the "Heavenly Court", but it is impossible for Li Tianlan to keep a group of unidentified people in his own house all day long, isn't that a handle for people, these people of the "Heavenly Court" are all retreating immediately after doing their dirty work. These current guards all have serious identities.

Just at this moment, Gu Ying finally appeared.
