Chapter Ninety-Eight: Report on the Case (for the leader of the alliance under the sycamore)
It took three full days, and on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ran received the flying talismans from his teacher Jiang Tenghe and Xu Zhenren, and the two flying talismans arrived at the same time. The teacher said that he would let him listen to Xu Zhenren, and Xu Zhenren said that he agreed in principle with Zhao Ran to be the abbot of Xuantan Palace and agreed with him to meet Chen Shandao.
Not long after that, Dongfang Li personally came to Baoyue Villa and had a serious conversation with Zhao Ran.
Dongfang Li looked a little tired, and after seeing Zhao Ran, he sat down and closed his eyes for a while before speaking: "I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I've been thinking about things a lot, so I'm really tired." ”
Zhao Ran knew that what he said was tired, it was definitely not physical tiredness, but because of hard work, so he said: "Senior Brother Li should give himself a vacation, take a break for a while, ten days and half a month, maybe you can be relieved." ”
Dongfang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not too big, I was more tired when I was in the Western Summer Dragon Courtyard back then, didn't I survive it?" When this case is investigated, I will take a break for half a year and make up for the delayed cultivation homework." He shook his head again: "Actually, there is no such problem, what you said is very good, there are thousands of avenues, I choose one of them, this may be my way, otherwise I will not retreat for two years, and break through two realms in a row, maybe at this point, we are actually walking the same road." ”
Zhao Ran said: "No matter how tired you are, you still have to combine work and rest, and I will take my senior brother to the Zongsheng Pavilion to experience the Washing Heart Pavilion in our building." ”
Dongfang Li nodded: "I have heard of the name of the Washing Heart Pavilion a long time ago, and I will definitely go when the time comes." Getting back to the point, what you said, Wu Tianshi, Li Tianshi, and Zhao Zhenren all agreed, and specially asked me to come over and tell my junior brother in person, don't have too many concerns, this is a signal, after the junior brother becomes the abbot, do whatever you have to do, don't think too much, don't look ahead, follow your method to be your abbot, only in this way can we see what the other party wants to do. ”
Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really afraid that everyone will misunderstand, thinking that I want to throw myself at the other party, the meaning of the confession is the meaning of obeying orders, if everyone does not approve, then I will not go, if everyone thinks that they can give it a try, then I will go." Senior Brother Li, I still have a word, if I really take over this position, no matter how long I do it and to what extent, as long as I think that I can't continue, then I will not hesitate to quit. ”
Dongfang Li said: "Don't worry, I'm just worried that you have such thoughts, and when the time comes, you will be restrained, but it is better not to go." Wu Tianshi asked me to bring you a sentence, 'Everyone believes in you'. Of course, whether you can be this abbot or not depends on the result of your conversation with Chen Shandao, which you need to grasp yourself. Wu Tianshi said that if he had any questions, he could contact him at any time, or Xu Zhenren, it didn't matter. ”
After saying this, Dongfang Li informed Zhao Ran of the results of the interrogation, Chunfeng and Guanyun had never heard of any Lingtai Mountain Daoist, nor did they know the monk surnamed Gu, what happened back then, they were acting on the orders of Lantian Yu, as for the origin of Linghu Qingqiu, they didn't know, but they said that Lantian Yu was in charge. But they heard Lan Tianyu mention a person surnamed Gu and called him 'Gu Daoyou', maybe this ancient monk was 'Gu Daoyou'. ”
Zhao Ran said: "I'm afraid it's the same person...... Will there be a connection between the key person and this Gu Daoyou that the Dongji Pavilion is tracking?"
"I don't know, of course we want to have a connection, and we want two people to be the same person, but there is no evidence yet. Dongji Pavilion has begun to find a way to find the clues of Gu Daoyou in the portrait, but there is a certain degree of difficulty, because the portrait cannot be made public, so it can only be found privately. ”
"That, Lantian Jade ......"
"There is no way to arrest, he has not been involved in any case so far, and he is a great worshipper at the level of the refiner of the upper three palaces, so there is really no reason to arrest him. And he didn't dare to invite him to inquire easily, otherwise there would be worries that the news would be revealed. ”
Zhao Ran was a little disappointed: "It's not a way to find someone like this, you have to find when to go, it's been half a month, fortunately, it's still the New Year's Festival, I suspect that after the Lantern Festival, I can't see the spring breeze and the figure of the clouds in the upper three palaces, I'm afraid I'm going to make a move." ”
Dongfang Li said: "We people claim to be veterans in handling cases, but we really haven't seen this situation, the two soft bones have confessed everything, but the reason why they are not invited to that room seems to be really unaware." But if they really happened by mistake, it would be very unbelievable and unconvincing to say it. ”
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked, "There has always been a question, how did the East Pole Pavilion find the whereabouts of the key suspect?"
Dongfang Li said: "They don't want to reveal it. ”
"When are you still reluctant to reveal?"
"Understandable. In my experience, most of it is done by hidden piles. The two Xiu'an that were destroyed before should be the news from this hidden pile, but more and deeper information, this hidden pile will not know much, and there are few clues given, so there is this situation. ”
"What now?"
"We deliberated and decided to change our strategy. In the past, I was anxious to grab time, but now it seems that Chunfeng and Guanyun have limited knowledge, so I decided to drag it out and surprise the snake to see if the other party has any reaction, and whether some people will jump out in a hurry. ”
"Aren't you afraid of going to the third palace to forcibly ask for someone?"
"With Meng Yanzhen's case here, it is completely possible for Chunfeng and Guanyun to cooperate with the investigation for a year and a half, and they can't do it if they want it. ”
Sometimes it is not the best strategy to startle the snake, because it is equivalent to putting yourself in the light, but sometimes there is no way to do it, which is equivalent to entering a psychological war. If the other party calms down and doesn't make any moves at all, Sanqing Pavilion and Dongji Pavilion can be regarded as a failure in this psychological warfare, and it is not certain that they can bring the two Daoists to justice, and the attempt to find the key person is doomed to come to naught.
Zhao Ran was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "I want to know if I want to know if our two pavilions are so focused on the matter of Xiu'an, is it completely because this matter violates the precepts of the Daomen and the justice of the world, or is the purpose of overthrowing the upper three palaces? If I really made the abbot of Xuantan Palace, what to do next would be more targeted. ”
Dongfang Li nodded, with a serious expression, and said, "...... Do you remember what you said last time that the emperor might be cultivating?"
