Chapter 157: In Person
n\u001cQi Xuansu made a brief report to Jiang Dazhen on the road. Jiang Dazhen attached great importance to it and told Qi Xuansu to keep it confidential. After all, Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua have been operating in Nanyang for many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will still be in the Borneo Taoist House. Who, once the news leaks out and alerts the snake, it will be difficult to find Chen Shuhua.
From Lion City to Thang Long Palace, it wasn't that far when we took a flying boat. We were going at full speed, and it only took an hour to arrive.
Qi Xuansu's flying boat landed in the water palace.
Then Qi Xuansu rushed directly to the wooden palace where Jiang Dazhen was located.
Jiang Dazhen's secretary had already been waiting in front of the palace gate. After seeing Qi Xuansu, he immediately led him to see Jiang Dazhen - Jiang Dazhen had been waiting for a long time.
After Qi Xuansu met Jiang Dazhen, Jiang Dazhen screened everyone away, leaving only two people. Qi Xuansu roughly told what happened.
Regarding Lin Yuanmiao's identity, it was not a shady secret because the Heavenly Master had intervened. Qi Xuansu only said that he was an expert from the Zhang family, and Jiang Dazhen did not ask further questions. After all, who among the three divisions has no secrets? The four of them have known each other for many years and have already established their respective boundaries, and no one will cross them rashly.
As for why Lin Yuanmiao went to Lin Lingsu's Tongzhen Palace, Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't say that Lin Yuanmiao was part of Lin Lingsu. Instead, he brought up the case of Qian Xiangyun of the Imperial Palace and only said that he got it from Qian Xiangyun. clues.
In fact, Qi Xuansu now understands these big shots to some extent. They only pretend to be big things, but in fact they don’t care much about the specific details. It’s not that they are easy to fool, but that they turn a blind eye and don’t go into details. As the saying goes, they are not crazy. If you are not deaf, you are not a family man. As the head of the family, sometimes you have to be able to pretend to be ignorant about the faults of the younger generation. What they care more about is the consequences. At this point, Master Landa went a little too far, and it was just that going too far was not enough.
Master Jiang Da has a better grasp. He doesn't care how Qi Xuansu knows the existence of Tongzhen Palace. He only cares about one thing now: "Can you determine the specific location of Tongzhen Palace?"
Qi Xuansu took out Lin Yuanmiao's spiritual light from his sleeve and presented it to Jiang Dazhen.
Master Jiang Da took it casually and pressed it directly between his eyebrows.
After a while, Master Jiang Da already knew the contents of the aura, and said with some emotion: "The Great Master Lin Lingsu of the Jin Dynasty is worthy of being a genius who can defeat Buddhism. He actually imitated the Queen of Heaven's Dragon Palace on the Sea and built such an unfixed residence. Tongzhen Palace, Chen Shuhua is hiding here, no wonder she can’t be found.”
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Dazhenren means that Tongzhen Palace is constantly moving?"
Master Jiang Dazhen nodded: "It doesn't matter, there are rules here, it's not difficult to find, but I need a few days to calculate it in detail."
Qi Xuansu finally understood at this time that it was no wonder that Chen Shuhua did not pursue him to the end. It turned out that Tongzhen Palace was constantly moving. She might have thought that Lin Yuanmiao came here by mistake. The next time he came back, Tongzhen Palace had gone to another place. The place is naturally nothing to worry about.
This is like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring. The first time is to suddenly encounter the peach blossom forest, the second time is to find what you want, and then get lost and no longer find the way.
Also, Lin Yuanmiao once mentioned that the specific location of Tongzhen Palace is related to whales, so it is very likely that the movement route of Tongzhen Palace overlaps with the migration route of whales.
It is said that whales swim back and forth for tens of thousands of miles every year, from the extremely cold North Sea to the warm Southern Ocean. If Tongzhen Palace only overlaps part of the route, then naturally it will not appear in the North Sea, but it can explain that Tongzhen Palace sometimes appears in Lingnan In the nearby seas, it sometimes appears in the South China Sea. Strictly speaking, the two statements that Tongzhen Palace is located in Lingnan and that Tongzhen Palace is located in Borneo cannot be wrong.
Obviously, this rule is very complicated. Even if Master Jiang Da has mastered the clues provided by Lin Yuanmiao, it will still take several days to calculate. If it were a heavenly being, it would be more difficult and take more time. By the time the gods of creation figured out the rules, Chen Shuhua had recovered and could leave this place. Naturally, it didn't matter. This was the reason why Chen Shuhua was confident.
In this case, Daomen must move quickly, and the encirclement and suppression of Chen Shuhua is an imminent matter.
Qi Xuansu was about to say goodbye when Master Jiang Dazhen stopped him again: "By the way, there is one more thing. Someone just came to report that Zhang Yuelu and Wang Jiaoying were in a stalemate over arresting people, and Wang Jiaohe did not come forward. , I didn’t come forward, and Xu Cixi went to Dongbo Suozhou again. Since you are here and you are the chief, it is up to you to go. "
Qi Xuansu responded.
He had arranged this matter, and he was certainly responsible for it.
After leaving the wooden palace, Qi Xuansu met Jiayin Lingguan.
Recently, the Jiayin Lingguan is not in the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang, but in Shenglong Mansion. His deputy is in charge of the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang. In fact, there is nothing to be responsible for. It is just that Qi Xuansu wants to use the Lingguan. He sent the spirit officer there and followed Qi Xuansu's orders.
Qi Xuansu saw Jia Yin Ling Guan at this time, exchanged a few words with him, and happened to ask Jia Yin Ling Guan for a team of Ling Guan.
Jiayin Lingguan agreed very simply.
So Qi Xuansu led a team of troops straight to the Wang family mansion.
"Meet the chief!"
"Meet the chief!"
As the saying goes, people are like the shadow of famous trees. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu is really famous in the world of Nanyang. He is as famous as thunder. No one is not afraid of him. Not to mention how embarrassed he made Wang Jiaohe, the real man in charge, come to Borneo. The subsequent series of thunderous methods have successfully established his authority.
Zhang Yuelu is also famous, but she is not the deputy chief of Borneo Daofu. She can't do anything to them. Qi Xuansu is different. He is the chief deputy chief of Borneo Daofu and the one who truly holds the power of life and death. Who doesn't know that Xu Cixi is Qi Cixi's man? In the past, it was Wang Zhangfu and Chen Cixi, and Chen Cixi listened to Wang Zhangfu. Now it is Qi Cixi and Xu Cixi, and Xu Cixi listens to Qi Cixi. Although the people have changed, the pattern is still the same.
Many people are muttering in their hearts, just wait and see, if Qi Cixi really wants to overthrow Wang Zhangfu and become the chief deputy hall master of the previous Jiutang, then it will be Qi Zhangfu and Xu Cixi.
Because of this, when Qi Xuansu brought people over, no one dared to stop him. The spiritual officials brought by Zhang Yuelu and Wang Jiaoying were originally confronting each other. When they saw Qi Xuansu, they dispersed and formed two teams, saluted together, and called "Chief".
Qi Xuansu had no expression on his face, neither smiling nor looking gloomy, even when facing Zhang Yuelu. In Zhang Yuelu's words, Qi Xuansu was very dignified in front of outsiders and was used to pretending. Of course, Zhang Yuelu had to give Qi Xuansu face in front of outsiders and not make things difficult for him.
Qi Xuansu came to Zhang Yuelu and Wang Jiaoying amidst the calls of "Chief".
Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly and took the initiative to step forward: "Chief Qi."
"Second seat Zhang." Qi Xuansu nodded slightly. If you didn't know, you would think that he and Zhang Yuelu were just ordinary colleagues.
Wang Jiaoying's face turned ugly, and he looked at Qi Xuansu with doubt: "Why did Chief Qi come here in person?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "You two made such a big noise, and the stalemate even alarmed Master Jiang, so Master Jiang asked me to handle this matter."
"This is Wang Jiaoyan." Zhang Yuelu pointed to Wang Jiaoyan who was still standing on the steps, "Chief Qi came here in person, just in time to take Wang Jiaoyan away with me."
The moment Qi Xuansu appeared, Wang Jiaoyan's face turned pale, and when Zhang Yuelu's words came out, Wang Jiaoyan's body trembled slightly.
Qi Xuansu nodded: "The evidence is irrefutable, so take them away."
Wang Jiaoying watched the couple pretending to act here. When he heard that they were going to arrest someone, he immediately objected: "Wait! Chief Qi, I need to report to you."
Chief Qi was cold: "What else to report? Take your people away, all of them, and hand Wang Jiaoyan over to Zhang's people."
Wang Jiaoying is the third deputy palace lord, Qi Xuansu is the first deputy palace lord. Without considering the special situation of the great master of the palace, Qi Xuansu is the second person, and Wang Jiaoying is the fourth person. It seems that there is only a difference of two positions, but in fact it is not the case. From deputy palace lord to second person, there is an invisible threshold, which is the threshold from the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. There are deputy palace lords of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, but there is no second deputy palace lord of the third-grade Youyi Taoist priests. Even Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are just an agent, a job grade.
If Wang Jiaoying wants to be promoted to the chief, it is not as simple as moving forward two positions, but two steps. Under the premise of no special circumstances, he may have to move to two places. The higher the position, the harder it is to move up to the next level. Many people are stuck here for their whole lives.
Since it is so difficult, there is a reason. The Taoist sect set up the two prefixes of chief and second seat, not for the sake of appearance, but to truly give real power and status. Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu is Wang Jiaoying's superior.
Seeing that the people brought by Qi Xuansu were going to take Wang Jiaoyan away, Wang Jiaoying could only choose to resist: "Stop them!"
Wang Jiaoying's spiritual officer could only bite the bullet and stop Qi Xuansu's spiritual officer.
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "Wang Jiaoying, you are too arrogant!"
Wang Jiaoying was not a pushover, and immediately said: "I obey the orders of the Taoist government, or the orders of the real person in charge of the government. Chief Qi is higher than me, but he is not my direct superior."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Well, let me ask you, you listen to the Taoist government, so do you listen to the laws of Taoism?"
Wang Jiaoying did not dare to leave any handle, so he had to say: "Of course I listen."
Qi Xuansu said: "The laws of Taoism clearly state that for major cases, relatives, friends, teachers and apprentices, Taoist companions, superiors and subordinates, and those who have had prejudices or conflicts with them should be Avoid it. Vice Palace Master Wang, what is the relationship between you and Wang Jiaoyan? I don't need to say more, right? Please avoid it. "
Wang Jiaoying's face suddenly changed color, and he said with a specious reason: "Then what is the relationship between Chief Qi and Deputy Zhang? Do you want to avoid it?"
Qi Xuansu sarcastically said: "It seems that Vice Palace Master Wang is used to being domineering and doesn't care about the laws of Taoism. He has never read them. The principle of avoidance applies to the case handler and the prisoner. Deputy Zhang and I are both case handlers. No matter what our relationship is, it doesn't affect us, so there is no need to avoid it. "
Wang Jiaoying didn't know what to say for a while, but he still insisted on not retreating.
Qi Xuansu said coldly: "It seems that Vice Palace Master Wang is determined to resist, so don't blame me for being rude. "
