Chapter 133: Floating to the Surface

The member of the Goddess Club smiled coldly, and took advantage of the situation to punch Chen Jianzi in the face, causing Chen Jianzi to black out and stagger back.

Although Chen Jianzi had good cultivation and was a decisive person, she had been pampered for many years and had not fought with others much. She had little practical experience and had not learned many magical powers, so she was at a disadvantage at this time.

On the other hand, the member of the Goddess Club had gone through life and death for the Goddess Club, and had countless lives on his hands. He was experienced and once he had the upper hand, he would kill Chen Jianzi everywhere. Even if he could not use magical skills, it was enough to put Chen Jianzi to death.

Chen Jianzi became more and more desperate. If he had known this, he would rather fall into the hands of the Taoist sect and cooperate honestly, and he could get a lenient sentence. Whether it was exile or hard labor, it would save a life after all, which was better than being killed.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly said, "Stop it."

The member of the Goddess Club was indeed a professional. He turned a deaf ear and continued to kill.

However, he suddenly felt that his belt seemed to be grabbed from behind, and because of his strong forward force, the belt broke directly, so his pants fell directly and piled up at the ankle position, not only tripping, but also revealing two hairy legs.

This made the members of the Goddess Club very angry, and they had to lift their pants with one hand, posing a defensive posture, and at the same time glanced at the position behind them.

At some point, a little girl appeared behind him, holding half a broken belt in her hand. It seemed that she grabbed him from behind and put him in such an embarrassing situation.

The members of the Goddess Club were neither arrogant nor ignorant, so he smelled the breath of danger.

The little girl pointed at Chen Jianzi and said carelessly: "She is mine, you can go."

The Goddess member frowned and did not move.

This little girl was Xiao Yin.

Seeing that the golden-haired ghost refused to leave, she raised her eyebrows: "Don't you understand what people say?"

In fact, what she wanted to say was, Zhang Yuelu bullied me, but you still want to bully me?

Don't you know that Miss Xiao Yin is the fourth best master of the Ghost Country Cave Heaven?

Chen Jianzi was relieved. This little girl is indeed strange, but from her tone, she seems to be a Taoist? Chen Jianzi vaguely heard that there was a little girl following the Taoist Master Qi. Could it be her? It is better to fall into the hands of the Taoist than to be silenced.

The Goddess Club member suddenly jumped up and stabbed Xiao Yin with a sword.

Experience cannot make up for the huge gap in strength. Xiao Yin opened her mouth and bit the rapier, like a copper tooth and iron teeth, chewing the rapier into pieces.

Seeing this, the members of the Goddess Club were horrified and turned around and ran away subconsciously.

Xiao Yin is not easy to talk to. You didn't attack me just now, I can indeed let you go, but now you attack me, hum, you want to escape? How can such a good thing happen!

In Chen Jianzi's sight, Xiao Yin began to "get taller" like a shadow stretched by the sunset, but she was still short-handed and short-legged, only her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, like a dark door.

Xiao Yin opened her mouth and sucked, creating a huge suction force. The members of the Goddess Club did not even run away, and even began to retreat uncontrollably.

Xiao Yin swallowed the members of the Goddess Club whole as they screamed.

Chen Jianzi was so frightened by this scene that her face turned pale, she could not speak, and even her legs were shaking.

Although Chen Jianzi had been in Lion City for many years and had been exposed to some so-called dark scenes, she had never seen such a swallowing.

After Xiao Yin swallowed the things in her mouth, she returned to her original size, but she frowned and found that the matter was not simple. She first retched, and then spit out many metal parts that had been corroded beyond recognition, as well as some black water of unknown composition.

Xiao Yin made a few "Puh-Puh" sounds, thinking to herself that monsters were still more delicious.

Then Xiao Yin came to Chen Jianzi, who was lying on the ground, looked her up and down, and sniffed to confirm that the taste was correct.

This scared Chen Jianzi half to death, for fear that this little devil was going to eat her.

Xiao Yin didn't waste any words, picked up Chen Jianzi, and went to Zhang Yuelu to claim the reward.

Neither Qi Xuansu nor Zhang Yuelu expected Xiao Yin to be so quick. Not to mention three days, it only took half a day to find Chen Jianzi and bring him to justice.

This made the two look at Xiao Yin with new eyes. Qi Xuansu praised him generously: "You are much more reliable than the Taoist priests and spiritual officials under me. If I were in power, I would definitely make you a deputy palace master."

Zhang Yuelu was also in a good mood. She was a person who kept her promises. Not only did she fulfill her promise, but she also rewarded Xiao Yin with an extra 500 Taiping coins. Today is different from the past. Zhang Yuelu is no longer the poor girl in the past. As the leader of the third generation of the Zhang family, she can even support Lin Yuanmiao, not to mention a few hundred Taiping coins. This is something Qi Xuansu can't compare to.

Xiao Yin was also in a good mood. One thousand five hundred Taiping coins were spent in three days, which means an expenditure of 500 Taiping coins a day. What kind of fairy life is this? Go to the largest theater and book a theater for her to sing for her alone, and listen to it however she wants.

In order to prevent any more accidents from happening at Beichen Hall and to keep it secret, Qi Xuansu decided to interrogate Chen Jianzi in person.

However, after Chen Jianzi almost got killed, she had already figured it out. Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to coerce or bribe her, she took the initiative to express that she would actively cooperate and only asked the Dao Mansion to spare her life.

According to Chen Jianzi, the person who contacted the Goddess Club through her was named Lin Qingcheng, who was Wang Jiaoying's secretary.

The secretary's rank is not high, but he is close to power and can even represent power. In front of the deputy palace master, he is the secretary, but in front of outsiders, he is the deputy palace master's incarnation, or even the deputy palace master himself.

These people often wield great power.

Take Chen Jianchou as an example. He has not passed the major exam and has no official rank. But just because he is Qi Xuansu's secretary, who wouldn't give him three points? When Xie Jiaofeng met him, they all called him brother and sister. Many people hoped to be able to follow Chen Jianchou's path so that they could climb up to the heights of Qi Zhenren.

You must know that not everyone can see Qi Xuansu casually. It is not that Qi Xuansu deliberately puts on a show, but a threshold must be set, otherwise he will not have to do anything else every day except to meet guests and drink tea. Who can be seen, who cannot be seen, when, and whose hand is in charge of this measure? Of course it is in the hands of the secretary.

Do the people below dare not to fawn over? Dare you offend?

To put it bluntly, many high-quality Taoist priests spend more time with their secretaries than with their Taoist companions. If you really want to show off, it is not difficult to achieve success, and it is even easier to ruin other people's affairs.

As Wang Jiaohe's brother, Wang Jiaoying undoubtedly has a lot of power. Although the real person in charge of the government does not take care of things, Wang Jiaohe is the number one figure in the Taoist government, and Chen Shuhua is the second person in the Taoist government. Then Wang Jiaoying is the well-deserved No. 3 figure. His secretary, of course, is very important.

It makes sense for him to come forward to contact Chen Jianzi.

If you touch this secretary, it will easily arouse the vigilance of the Wang family.

Qi Xuansu discussed it with Zhang Yuelu and Li Zhuyu.

Li Zhuyu's opinion was that Beichen Tang would come forward and take it down directly.

Zhang Yuelu put forward a different opinion: "Logically speaking, it is indeed the responsibility of Beichen Hall to eliminate the traitors. There is no problem for Beichen Hall to come forward to arrest them, but this can easily alert the snake. Considering that we are secretly arresting Chen Jian Zi, whether it is a traitor within us or an external force, we cannot be sure of it in a short period of time and will not respond immediately, so my opinion is that Feng Xiantang will come forward and take him down in the name of disciplinary issues. , which is safer.”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "Isn't it said that Nanyang United Trading Company is the pocketbook of many people? It is also said that many Taoist people like to reimburse expenses at Nanyang United Trading Company, so we will start from the point of reimbursement and use Make a fuss about reimbursement, make a long list, mix Lin Qingcheng's name into the list, and then let people from Feng Xiantang talk to the people on the list, and then take it down in one fell swoop, claiming to the outside world that Lin Qingcheng is also involved in the corruption issue. Being censored. Now that Master Jiang Da is still in Shenglong Mansion, neither Wang Jiaoying nor Wang Jiaohe can make a big splash."

Li Zhuyu had to agree with this plan.

Qi Xuansu said: "It just so happens that Yao Suyi is in Shenglong Mansion now and asked Lu Yuting to issue a list. I will inform Yao Suyi and Xu Fuli to take action immediately without further delay."

As for Chen Jianzi, Qi Xuansu had her secretly detained and kept under strict supervision to prevent her from dying or escaping. At the final trial, she will be asked to testify.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also kept his promise and spared her life. When you perform meritorious service and atone for your sins, you cannot break your promise. If you die no matter what, many people will choose to fight to the end instead of pleading guilty and cooperating. Things will be difficult to handle in the future. So Qi Xuansu decided to send her to Kunlun Taoist Temple to practice Taoism after the incident in Nanyang was over.

If these prisoners with outstanding cultivation skills were to be exiled, it would not be feasible to exile them to some remote areas. There would not be so many people to guard them, and it would be easy for them to find opportunities to escape. The only option is to exile them to the Kunlun Taoist Mansion. The foot of Kunlun is naturally heavily guarded. A quarter of the Taoist spiritual officials are deployed here, and Kunlun is the core of the Taoist sect. There are countless experts, and no prisoner can afford to make trouble.

Over the years, Daomen has been expanding Yujing intermittently. It cannot be said that the expansion of Yujing is actually to open up some areas around Kunlun to build new cities, divert traffic, separate some less important functions, and reduce the pressure on Yujing, so it is necessary to carry out large-scale construction and build palaces and temples.

This requires manpower. Of course, ordinary civilians are not as good as such prisoners with high cultivation. Therefore, in recent years, Taoism has treated these prisoners with good cultivation and adhered to the concept of not killing people if they can be exiled, and let them all go to Kunlun. It doesn’t cost a penny to go to a Taoist temple to practice Taoism, so why not do it?

If you perform outstandingly and repent during the period of hard labor, your sentence can be reduced appropriately, and you may regain your freedom after a few decades. This also gave the prisoners something to think about, so as not to carry it to the end.

There are also some people whose cultivation level is too high and whose scope of action must be strictly controlled, or those who have committed too serious crimes and it is difficult to kill them directly. Then choose one of the three caves of the Demon Suppressing Well, the Demon Locking Tower, and the Dragon Palace.

As for Qi Xuansu driving Yue Liuli into the Demon Locking Tower Cave for revenge, he never denied it.
