Chapter 47: Ten Days After the Assassination

ps: This chapter pays off the debt, congratulations to Brother Yangzhigang on his promotion to elder.

In the face of Zhu Zhimeng's kindness, Zhao Ran was stunned, and immediately couldn't help but be a little moved, and thanked Zhu Zhimeng.

Zhu Zhimeng said again: "It's best to try to cultivate the Introductory Dao Method first, so that it won't be delayed." I'll see if I can find you a few Taoist books, and you can study them too?"

Zhao Ran said: "Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo have given me a book of Taoism, a copy of "Shangqing Jue", as well as "Zhengyi Fu Fa" and "Instrument Spectrum". I was studying, but I didn't know where to go, and the two uncles said they would help me find a way. ”

"That's good, I'll write to you when I have time, and when the time comes, you can reply to me through the channel of Guò Xizhenwu Palace Sandu, and they can contact Huayun Pavilion directly. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me in the letter. I know that you are very talented in learning, but after all, I am in the Huayun Pavilion, if even I don't understand, I can help you ask my master or other uncles and uncles. ”

Zhu Zhimeng left with Master Liang, and the various Daomen and government people who came to Songfeng Ridge gradually dispersed, Zhao Ran followed the people of Wuji Courtyard back to Wuji Mountain, and fell asleep after returning - he was indeed tired enough in the past few days, not physical fatigue, his cultivation merits have begun to bear fruit, and he has mana, this fatigue is not a problem at all. His tiredness lies mainly in his heart, but also in his confusion about his future prospects.

From the moment he saw the corpse of Zhang Prison, he knew that the reform of Qingmiaoqian that he had advocated might not be able to be promoted. He has no confidence in whether he can even continue to maintain it in Guyang County.

He will think about it when he has free time in the past two days. I am about to start entering the "refining" level, and I need to practice according to the cultivation methods of the Taoist realm, and I need a lot of merit. Of course, the first priority is to maintain the new policy of Qingmiaoqian in Guyang County, and the merit reward brought to him by this policy is extremely rich.

If he couldn't sustain it, he would settle for the next best thing and focus on clearing the wasteland. He expected that the merit that this matter could bring would not be too small, and it might or may not be able to meet the needs of cultivation.

The place where Zhang Jian Yuan was assassinated was in Guyang County, and this matter was definitely a disaster for the Taoist priests of the entire Wuji Academy. Although it has been deduced at this moment that it is a Buddhist demon monk, it is not something that Wuji Academy can deal with, but in any case, Wuji Academy, which is in charge of the affairs of the county's Daomen, cannot shirk its responsibility. Therefore, when he went up to Song Zhiyuan in the prison and down to the ordinary chanting children, including Jin Jiu, they were very uneasy. I don't know what kind of punishment will be given.

In order to try their best to alleviate the culpability, the entire Wuji Courtyard took action, blocked the road checkpoints, went to the villages to check the clues, and even rarely showed a strong side, and directly took the dispatch power of the third-class officials and archers in Guyang County.

As the master of the square hall, if Wuji Courtyard really wants to be hit by the board, then the first board is Song Zhiyuan, the prison court. The second board will definitely fall on Zhao Ran's ass. For more than ten days, Zhao Ran worked hard to solve the case. It's not that he's afraid of being beaten, but because there's a faint sense of guilt in his heart.

If it weren't for his strong advocacy of Qingmiaoqian reform, if it weren't for the "on-site office meeting" he suggested, Zhang Jian Yuan would not have come to Wuji Yuan at this time, and perhaps he would not have been assassinated in Songfengling. Whenever I think of the old Taoist priest who has only met twice, whenever I think of the encouragement and hope of this old Taoist priest for myself. He couldn't help but feel guilty.

In addition to guilt, Zhao Ran also had a lingering doubt, and he intuitively believed that this matter was related to the strong implementation of the Qingmiao Qian reform by the Zhang Supervision Yuan, otherwise how could it be so coincidental. He was just stabbed in the middle of the road when he was preparing to promote reform? Moreover, even if Zhang Jian Yuan is a high-ranking and powerful person, but in the final analysis, it is just a prison in the jungle of ten directions, and he is an old man who is so "vulgar" that he can no longer be "vulgar", what kind of grudge does he have with a Buddhist monk that will attract an assassin in the cultivation world and stab him to death at the risk of risk?

Zhao Ran firmly locked his eyes on the monk's "bald head", which is an extremely obvious feature and the only feasible search clue so far. For this reason, Zhao Ran personally led the team, starting from the county seat, to search for it vigorously, and did not let go of any hairless baldness. After the county town is checked, they will search all the villages, and the ordinary people will check the wealthy gentry after the inspection.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, the gentry in Guyang County opened the door without any conditions, and took the initiative to cooperate with Zhao Ran to find clues. Often Zhao Ran just started to check this household, and the next household had already sent a housekeeper, and even the head of the family was present in person, respectfully inviting Zhao Ran to search.

On the ten days of Dasuo in the county, Zhao Ran captured dozens of bald heads, but without exception they were all "good people", and the reason why they were bald was that they did not have long hair, and there was not a single monk in it, let alone the magic power of Buddhism.

After ten days of spinning outside in the dark, Zhao Ran found nothing and had to return to Wuji Courtyard. As soon as he returned to the mountain gate, Zhao Ran was invited by Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan has obviously not had a good time in the past few days, and he saw that the small half of his hair was already white. Song Jian Yuan had no leisure to cook tea and taste tea, and Zhao Ran had no energy to appease the boss, the two sat opposite each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was very dull.

The news that the Song Prison Yuan passed to Zhao Ran came from the West Zhenwu Palace, because Zhang Prison died unexpectedly, so the West Zhenwu Palace quickly added a prison court. Due to special circumstances, this prison was not elected by the Sandu Council, but appointed by Xuanyuanguan.

"The new prison is surnamed Xu, and he just turned 50 this year, and his name is Xu Tenglong. ”

Zhao Ran pinched his temples and said weakly: "The Zhang Prison Yuan is gone, the West Zhenwu Palace cannot be left without an owner for a day, and it is inevitable that the new Prison Court will take office." I just don't know what kind of person this Xu Jianyuan is, and whether he will inherit the will of Zhang Jianyuan and continue to support the reform of Qingmiaoqian. However, since it is the prison appointed by Xuanyuanguan, I am afraid that there is still hope that the matter of Qingmiao Qian will continue to advance, after all, Xuanyuanguan's Li Prison Yuan has a close relationship with Zhang Prison Yuan, and it is a ...... who supports Zhang Prison Yuan."

The Song Supervision Institute did not answer Zhao Ran's words, and continued to introduce the resume of this Yu Prison Yuan: "Xu Tenglong was born in Huangzhou, Huguang, and entered the Ende Institute of Huanggang County at the age of seventeen......"

Zhao Ran was stunned: "Huguang?"

“...... At the age of 20, he was the head of the trough at the age of 27, and at the age of 30, he was transferred to the door of the guest hall, and three years later he was promoted to the pawn, and he moved to the patrol for another three years. At the age of forty, he entered the Wusheng Palace of Huangzhou Mansion as a welcome, moved to patrol at the age of forty-two, transferred to Wuchang Qingyuan Palace at the age of forty-five, and entered the Huguang Changchun Temple as a guest at the age of forty-eight. ”

Zhao Ran listened and listened, and then heard the door come out: "This person has never served as a prisoner?"

Song Jian Yuan nodded, and Zhao Ran was suddenly surprised.

Judging from Xu Tenglong's resume, there are two characteristics of this person's transfer.

One is that the promotion is extremely fast, basically you can be promoted to one level in two to three years, and even if you are transferred at the same level, you will basically go to an important job. This kind of relationship is very hard, and there are always people above who spare no effort to promote him. But he started very low, almost the same as Zhao Ran, a person who infiltrated the Taoist Academy, indicating that his family background was not strong. The reason why there is such a hard relationship, if nothing else, should be a person who is very good at dotting, to say that it is ugly, that is, very good at pandering.

The second characteristic is that this person has never had the experience of presiding over one party, that is, he usually has no excellent ability, that is, he has insufficient talent and strength, and even the person who promoted him does not have much confidence in his ability, so he does not dare to entrust him with full power.

Zhao Ran was curious, how could such a person come to Sichuan for some reason?

Song Zhiyuan sighed and explained: "The appointment was issued by Xuanyuanguan, but I heard that this person was recommended by the Lushan General Concept. ”

Hey, how can you say 'again'? Zhao Ran suddenly remembered that the unobtrusive abbot of Xizhenwu Palace also came from Huguang. At that moment, I couldn't help but ask: "Abbot Du......"

Song Zhiyuan nodded heavily and said: "Abbot Du was trained in Huangzhou Wusheng Palace when he was young, and he has been the supervisor of Wusheng Palace, and he entered Wuchang Qingyuan Palace as the abbot five years ago......"

Zhao Ran asked: "I heard that Abbot Du came to Sichuan last year, and it was directly appointed by the General View of Lushan?"

"Not bad!"

At this moment, Zhao Ran finally felt the severity of the situation.
