Chapter 131 Goddess Meeting
Qi Xuansu's first thing was to deal with the accusations of the Holy Court, as a matter of routine. After all, the Holy Court was essentially at fault in this matter, and everyone was just pretending to be confused.
The titles of the representatives of the Holy Court were very long, such as the descendant of so-and-so, the lord of so-and-so, the guardian of so-and-so, the ruler of so-and-so, the conqueror of so-and-so, the breaker of so-and-so, the breaker of so-and-so, the princess of so-and-so, the lady of so-and-so, the queen of so-and-so, the mother of so-and-so, and then a series of names and surnames, more than a dozen bytes long, as if they wanted to cram in all the surnames and ancestral houses of eight generations of ancestors.
Qi Xuansu didn't remember any of them, and didn't care.
He can also follow this format to make one, the killer of Fengtai County, the witness of Tso Wenbu, the protector of Yishan City, the savior of Shenglong Mansion, the guardian of Nanyang, the ruler of Lion City, the patron of Ziguang Zhenjun, the inheritor of the ancient witch religion, the strong contender for the eighth generation of the great master, the loyal friend of Linglu Mountain, the guardian of the imperial capital, the chief contributor to the conquest of the eighth generation of disciples of Fenglinzhou, the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest in Taoism, the second youngest third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, the legendary future Taoist partner of Zhang Yuelu, the hope of Qingping Society, the potential enemy of Buddha, the chief deputy master of Borneo Daofu, Xuansu, Tianyuan, Wei Wugui, Yao, Qi, from Wanxiang Dao Palace.
What's wrong with this? It's completely scary, just like the nicknames in the rivers and lakes, the dragon crossing the river, the tiger going down the mountain, the golden dart suppresses the green forest, and the sword suppresses the south of the Yangtze River.
As for the princesses and queens, since the collapse of the Anxi Great Qin State, there are many small countries in the West, and these princesses and queens are not worth much. The so-called queens are certainly not equal to the Great Xuan Emperor. Take the Great Yu State as an example. Qi Xuansu just supported a queen, which is really nothing.
So Qi Xuansu only remembered a name, Marianne.
Miss Ma.
Unlike Maginot, Marianne represents the Holy Court. Her public identity is a cardinal deacon. She owns a church and many followers in Nanyang.
The cardinal corresponds to the Golden Palace, and the cardinal deacon is equivalent to an ordinary real person.
In the past, there were no female high-level officials in the Holy Court. Until a goddess appeared, this rule was completely broken, and women could also be among the high-level officials of the Holy Court. Of course, the Pope is an exception.
In terms of status, she and Qi Xuansu are equal.
Qi Xuansu met the blonde lady at Tianfu Palace, listened to her long complaints patiently, and then responded to her politely that the Dao Sect had already obtained enough evidence, and now had 123 confessions, and many physical evidence, including some photos, which was definitely not persecution without evidence. There was enough evidence to point out that the members on this ship were the masterminds behind the Lion City riots. They provided money to those who created the chaos, and the people on the ship had confessed and should be tried.
In addition to routine, Marian's protest this time was also a bit of a gamble. If the Dao Sect arrested people without evidence, then she might be able to ask for an explanation. Now that the Dao Sect was well prepared, they could only return in disappointment.
After sending Marian away, Qi Xuansu summoned Li Zhuyu again to ask about the progress.
Li Zhuyu did not disappoint Qi Xuansu. Such a big thing was not something that the Holy Court could do. There must be someone working together inside and outside, and such a thing that would cost one's life must be kept secret, so not too many people could know about it. In this way, there will be less obstruction and fewer links.
Li Zhuyu said: "According to the explanation of those Westerners, the person who was responsible for contacting them was named Chen Feixue, whose real name was Chen Jianzi. This person was a remote branch of the royal family of Dayu Kingdom. In his early years, he followed his family to leave Shenglong Prefecture and moved to Lion City. In Lion City, he joined the Goddess Society under the Holy Court."
"The Goddess Society is one of the main religious orders of the Holy Court. It strictly formulates the rules of the society in imitation of military discipline. In addition to strictly abiding by the three wishes of "no wealth", "no beauty", and "no intention", members should also unconditionally be loyal to the Pope and perform all tasks assigned by him. In order to facilitate the penetration of all classes, the special uniforms were cancelled, and they did not live in the church. Various secret activities were carried out through preaching and lecturing, opening church schools and hospitals, serving as officials or confessors of local princes."
"As early as the Wei Dynasty, priests of the Goddess Society came to the Central Plains. Even many scholars and even cabinet ministers converted to the Holy Court under their instigation, and put forward the slogan of "supplementing Confucianism and replacing Buddhism". Some priests even served as He held an official position in the Wei court. By the end of the Wei Dynasty, more than one-fifth of the Goddess Society priests had taken root in the Central Plains. After the establishment of the Great Xuan Kingdom, these Goddess Society priests were expelled, but they were still active in Nanyang, Fenglinzhou and other places. We suspect that Marian is the leader of the local Goddess Society. "
"Although Chen Jianzi secretly joined the Goddess Society, he kept it a secret. After changing his name to Chen Feixue, he still appeared as a Taoist child. With the secret support of the Goddess Society, Chen Jianzi became a famous wealthy businessman active in Lion City. Because of her good looks, she is known as the "No. 1 Beautiful Business Woman in Lion City." "
"Chen Jianzi is good at making profits. A few years ago, she and a group of businessmen vigorously advocated the so-called parliamentary system, demanding that the Nanting Protectorate evacuate Lion City, return power to the people, and imitate the Westerners to form a parliament, and they participated in politics as representatives of public opinion. Now it seems that there should be support from the Goddess Society and even the Holy Court behind it. "
"We judge that Chen Jianzi should act as an intermediary between the Holy Court and the traitors within the Taoist government, helping to bridge the gap and cooperate inside and outside. As for who Chen Jianzi is connecting with on the other side, we are still investigating. But we have arranged manpower. We will monitor Chen Jianzi closely and prevent him from escaping, and we will arrest him as soon as possible."
After listening to this, Qi Xuansu said: "If this can be confirmed, then it is not just an internal struggle. People can connect with foreign countries and punish them. Even if we don't want to be messengers of justice, we have to do it."
These words are explicit, and under normal circumstances, it is not appropriate to say this. Li Zhuyu was a little unsure of Qi Xuansu's intentions for a while. Was she treating her as one of his own? Or did you accidentally say what was on your mind? Judging from Qi Xuansu's various behaviors when he arrived in Nanyang, he was by no means the kind of person who didn't know what was important and what shouldn't be said.
Li Zhuyu could only nod and said: "That's it."
Qi Xuansu added: "Speaking of internal struggles, to put it bluntly, our internal struggles have always been cruel, and we should be lenient if we anticipate the enemy. Do you think there is a chance that Chen Jianzi will be silenced?"
Li Zhuyu's face turned solemn: "It is indeed possible."
At this time, she did not dare to make a guarantee rashly. The water in Lion City was very deep, and even Qi Xuansu could be assassinated in the street. She could guarantee that Chen Jianzi could not escape, but she could not guarantee Chen Jianzi's safety.
Qi Xuansu said: "Consider whether you can control Chen Jianzi first and move her to a safe place."
At this moment, a leader of Beichen Hall walked in quickly, glanced at Qi Xuansu, and hesitated to speak.
Li Zhuyu said in a deep voice: "Say."
The manager wiped the sweat that had broken out: "Just now, Chen Jianzi escaped."
Li Zhuyu turned around suddenly: "What's going on?"
She had just promised to control Chen Jianzi in front of Qi Xuansu, and she was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. How could she not be angry.
The chief said cautiously: "Someone attacked Chen Jianzi's house. The scene was quite chaotic at that time. Our spiritual officers and the men in black from the Nanting Protectorate fought fiercely with the thieves. After repelling the thieves, we discovered that Chen Jianzi had escaped. ”
Li Zhuyu's face looked ugly.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Did these people pretend to attack to create an opportunity for Chen Jianzi to escape? Or did Chen Jianzi adapt to the situation and take advantage of this emergency to escape?"
Naturally, the boss couldn’t answer.
Li Zhuyu said: "If it's the former and the planning is sophisticated, then Chen Jianzi has probably escaped from the Lion City. If it's the latter, Chen Jianzi just made it temporarily without any prior preparation, then she is probably still hiding somewhere in the city. place.”
Qi Xuansu said: "I hope it is the second possibility."
At this point, Qi Xuansu suddenly reacted: "I just met Marianne. She actually came to find out. If we don't seize any evidence, then they will stay put for the time being. If we seize the evidence, then they will immediately Silence yourself."
Li Zhuyu was startled for a moment, then said: "The time is right."
Qi Xuansu ordered: "Deputy Hall Master Li, please immediately ask the Nanting Protectorate to send out manpower to help find traces of Chen Jianzi. Let her know that her only way out is to cooperate with us. Only in this way can there be a chance of survival, and those behind her People just want her to die.”
Li Zhuyu took the order and left.
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and went to see Zhang Yuelu again.
When it comes to finding people, Men in Black may not be easy to use, but Ziguang Club is better.
When he came to see Zhang Yuelu, he found Xiao Yin being trained here. After all, there was no escape. Zhang Yuelu never spoke harshly when he was training people, nor did he chant sutras. Instead, he "tortured" people slowly and softly. Xiao Yin couldn't refuse to listen, because she really didn't want to be sent back to the cave of the ghost country. Naturally, she was tortured all the time. People are like cabbages beaten by frost, wilting.
Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, Xiao Yin immediately became energetic.
For her now, Qi Xuansu is her savior.
Just when Xiao Yin was about to throw herself into Lao Qi's arms, Zhang Yuelu's eyes had already glanced over: "Who told you to move? Stand still."
Xiao Yin could only stand against the wall reluctantly.
Qi Xuansu didn't speak for Xiao Yin this time. Firstly, he had something serious to do, and secondly, he was afraid of getting burned.
Qi Xuansu roughly told what happened. Before Zhang Yuelu could reply, Xiao Yin had already volunteered: "Leave such a small matter to me. As long as I smell her scent, I will definitely be able to find her."
Qi Xuansu said suspiciously: "Are you a dog-nosed person?"
Xiao Yin said: "Don't look down on others, as long as I am willing, I can distinguish all the smells within a radius of ten miles."
"I underestimated you." Qi Xuansu didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. Although he knew that Xiao Yin wanted to take this opportunity to go out and play, Qi Xuansu didn't mind helping Xiao Yin to get her out of Zhang Yuelu's clutches.
Qi Xuansu could see it, and Zhang Yuelu could also see it, and said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Yin, if you want to make meritorious deeds, we have no objection. If you can really find this person, I'll let you play for three days, and I'll give you a thousand peace coins." , but if you are playful and cause trouble, we will not be lenient."
Qi Xuansu had already rebelled against the camp and echoed: "Yes, this is a big deal, you have to issue a military order."
Xiao Yin patted her chest and said, "As long as she is still in the Lion City, I promise to find her within three days. If she cannot be found, you will send me back to grandpa."
