Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 204 Homework

xyQ$In August, Qi Xuansu finally had some free time.

The matter of restructuring the Nanyang United Trade Company came to an end for the time being. The Great Xuan court officially conferred the title on Chen Jianqiu. As for Xu Jiaorong, those who should be killed were killed and those who should be sentenced were sentenced.

With irrefutable evidence, and with the focus of attention and the promotion of multiple parties, it was natural that the trial and sentencing would be quick.

Wang Danqing saved his life, was deprived of his Taoist status, and could regain his freedom after serving twenty years of hard labor.

Wang Jiaoying was sentenced to death, and Wang Jiaoyan and Sun Yaozhen were sentenced to permanent hard labor.

Sun Yaoping was deprived of his Taoist status and served thirty years of hard labor. He did not participate deeply in the affairs of the Nanyang United Trade Company, but he did a lot of bullying men and women on weekdays. After careful calculation, he was sentenced to a heavier punishment than Wang Danqing. After all, Wang Danqing claimed to be a madman, so he still had to save face.

Lin Tianhe was not executed because of his meritorious performance, but he was also sentenced to permanent hard labor.

Wang Jiaohe was deprived of his status as a true man, which was equivalent to being demoted to a commoner in the past. This undoubtedly gave the Ghost Kingdom Dongtian the power to deal with it on its own.

Sun Heyu was deprived of his status as a great immortal and did not have to perform labor service, but was suppressed in the Demon Locking Tower and would never see the light of day again in this life.

The deceased Chen Shuhua was also deprived of all his titles and identities. Unlike the low-key treatment of Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu, Chen Shuhua was labeled a sinner and a traitor, and a court report was issued to warn all the Taoist prefectures.

This was obviously aimed at making him infamous for thousands of years.

To put it bluntly, the problems of Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu were just internal problems, and the two had merits and faults, and had made practical contributions to the development of Borneo, so they could be discussed behind closed doors. Chen Shuhua's problem involved Buddhism and secret societies, which was even worse in nature and more harmful, and must be dealt with severely to show the world.

Then there were Zheng Jiaohe, Sun Jiaofeng and others, who were treated similarly, deprived of their Taoist status and various titles, and stopped there, without further investigation.

Lin Qingcheng, Wu Rongrong, Guo Yongyan and others were dismissed from their posts. Lin Qingcheng was sentenced to death for colluding with the Holy Court Goddess Society, and Wu Rongrong and Guo Yongyan were sentenced to permanent labor.

These are the main characters, and there are some minor characters. Except for some people with blood debts on their hands who were sentenced to death, most of the others were sentenced to labor, with sentences ranging from thirty years to one year.

There are also some people with lighter problems who were not convicted. The highest punishment was dismissal, and the lowest punishment was a demerit. Some people also had to return to the Taoist Palace to study again.

In addition, many people were dealt with by the Lingguan internally.

If you ask when Donghua Zhenren made up his mind to take action against the Wang family, it is likely that it was when Wang Danqing and Qi Xuansu clashed.

It is not that Donghua Zhenren felt sorry for Qi Xuansu, but that Donghua Zhenren saw that the Taoist Lingguan had become a slave of the Wang family. On the territory of Ziwei Hall, the Lingguan brought by Wang Danqing dared to take action against the deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall. This was still in Yujing. What would Borneo be like?

Is the Lingguan a Taoist Lingguan? Or a private soldier of the Wang family?

In fact, this is indeed the case. Whether it was Wang Jiaoying forcing the palace or the subsequent all-out confrontation, some spiritual officials stood on the side of the Wang family.

The affairs of the Dao Mansion can be excused for the Grand Master of the Mansion, and all the blame is placed on the Grand Master of the Mansion, Wang Jiaohe. But the affairs of the spiritual officials are not acceptable.

It is said that because of this incident, Master Lan was also given a serious demerit. Of course, this matter was not publicized, and even few people knew about it, which still saved Master Lan's face. With Master Lan's identity, he didn't have to care about a serious demerit. With his current status, he would either be doomed or full of glory, and it would be impossible for him to fall back to Master Canzhi or an ordinary master. This is more of Jinque silently expressing dissatisfaction with Master Lan, and it is also a "humiliation" that is not very serious.

Although it was not publicized to the outside world, Master Lan was still very angry, and this anger was naturally not directed at Jinque. So Master Lan launched a thorough investigation of the internal spiritual officials. It is said that the intensity was quite fierce. Many spiritual officials were dealt with and directly took off their spiritual official armor. Some were even sentenced to prison and even sentenced to death.

Because the spiritual officials are relatively independent, unlike the Taoist system, only the Grand Master of the Palace, Tiangang Hall, and the Spiritual Officials Palace know the full story, so Qi Xuansu doesn't know much, but only vaguely heard some fragments. The Grand Master of the Palace personally supervised, and the two first-grade spiritual officials personally went into battle to catch the bad apples. In the end, the Grand Master of the Palace took the lead in reflecting on the merits and demerits of these years, and proposed various new regulations and new rules to rectify the atmosphere from top to bottom.

Qi Xuansu just listened to it.

It's not that easy to rectify the atmosphere. Even if the Grand Master of the Palace personally caught it, it wouldn't be reversed in a moment.

After dealing with these things, Qi Xuansu began to hand over with Xu Jiaorong and others, preparing to go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to participate in the real person level course. In the next month, Xu Jiaorong will take charge of the affairs of the Taoist Palace. Of course, in name, it still has to be the main person of Lan Dazhen, but considering that Xu Jiaorong used to be the secretary of Lan Dazhen, even if Lan Dazhen is in charge, Xu Jiaorong is easy to use, and the specific affairs will still fall on Xu Jiaorong's head.

Qi Xuansu decided to go to Lingnan Daofu first, meet up with Zhang Yuelu, and then go to Zhang's house together, then go to Yujing, and finally report to Wanxiang Dao Palace.

This time, Chen Jianchou will not follow Qi Xuansu, he will stay to take the big exam in August. Xiao Yin can follow, because Wanxiang Dao Palace is not far from Guiguo Dongtian, and she can also go home.

In this way, Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin on the flying boat to Lingnan.

Otherwise, there is a big difference between having a position and not having one.

At the beginning, Pei Xiaolou was also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but his position was only as an assistant, so he could only take an ordinary flying boat. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu is also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but he is the nominal chief deputy palace master. In fact, he has his own flying boat. The travel expenses are reimbursed by the Taoist palace, and the treatment is completely different.

The teaching this time was personally in charge of Master Shi Da.

Master Shi Da knows these newly promoted second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests very well. Except for a few exceptions, such as Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, most of them are seventh-generation disciples of the "Jiao" generation who are in their prime. Regardless of whether they are young or not, they are all above forty years old and below sixty years old. In terms of position, he is either the second-in-command or the chief, and at the last he is an assistant manager, deputy palace master, or deputy hall master. He is in charge of many people, has rich experience in public affairs, and is very busy.

If you want to teach such a group of people, you can't do it without some real skills. Therefore, among the teachers sent by the Taoist sect, the lowest is Da Zhenren level, and the highest is Da Zhenren, deputy head teacher. They cannot be inferior in terms of status. Live. Moreover, you are strictly required to participate, and the matters at hand must be handed over within the specified time. Everyone in the Taoist sect can continue to operate as usual without it, so don't take yourself too seriously.

Naturally, Qi Xuansu didn't dare to neglect him.

Borneo Daofu and Lingnan Daofu are neighbors, and Qi Xuansu set off from Dayu Kingdom, so they are even closer. Within an hour, Qi Xuansu's flying boat landed in Dongdu Mansion.

Dongdu Prefecture is not the capital of Lingnan, Zhang Yuelu is mainly here. Chen Shuwen said that Nanyang United Trading Company seems to be a Nanyang company, but it is essentially based on Daxuan. However, Daxuan is so big that the difference between Liaodong and Northwest China is huge. Specifically, Nanyang United Trading Company is Based in Lingnan, Dongdu Prefecture is an important transfer station, which is why the Nanyang United Trading Company case started from Lingnan.

Qi Xuansu's reorganization of the Nanyang United Trading Company in Borneo also required the cooperation of the Lingnan Province, so Zhang Yuelu had the right to speak in this matter. So it's not that Qi Xuansu is showing favoritism and treating official matters as private matters to discuss with his future Taoist companions, but Zhang Yuelu represents the Lingnan Taoist House. If she doesn't agree, it will be difficult for Qi Xuansu to move forward.

The handover was also completed on Zhang Yuelu's side. As soon as Qi Xuansu's flying boat arrived, she boarded the flying boat directly without stopping and headed straight for Yunjin Mountain in Wuzhou, which is adjacent to Lingnan.

On the flying boat, Qi Xuansu was naturally very emotional. The first time I went to Zhangjia, I walked on foot. I walked through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers, and almost died on the way. I thought that all the hardships would be rewarded, but before I left, I still couldn't escape. I met Wu Luo, and the flying boat crashed. A shocking leap.

Looking at today, traveling to Yunjin Mountain in a special flying boat is no different from the Quanzhen Taoists who visited Yunjin Mountain that day. Even Wu Luo is not that scary anymore. Although he failed to take revenge personally, he also fought indirectly with Wu Luo. Wu Luo descended from the gods twice, and they were all divine descendants, but they did not end well. It was a huge defeat.

Qi Xuansu felt that the day when he faced Wu Luo might not be too far away.

When Zu Tianshi was able to kill Wu Luo the first time, he might not be able to kill him the second time.

This goal that originally seemed out of reach seems not unattainable today.

It is also not far from Lingnan to Wuzhou. Soon, Yunjin Mountain will be in sight.

Zhang Yuelu had already communicated with Shangqing Palace and Wuzhou Taoist Office, so the journey was naturally smooth. Driving into the mist-filled Yunjin Mountain, Qi Xuansu saw the traces of broken mountains through the window of the flying boat, and had new feelings. Back then, he didn't know much about it, but now he has seen a lot of fights between gods and immortals, and he can even appreciate the high level of Xuan Sheng's cultivation.

The flying boat landed, and Zhang Kuping and Tang Jiaohua were waiting.

Zhang Kuping is Zhang Yuelu's clan uncle and the first elder to inspect Qi Xuansu. Times have changed, and when Zhang Kuping sees Qi Xuansu now, it can no longer be said to be a test, but only a welcome.

Tang Jiaohua was the secretary of the Celestial Master, with a low and powerful position.

Qi Xuansu knew the two of them well and took the initiative to salute.

"Zhang...Assistant Manager has been doing well recently." Qi Xuansu almost shouted "Brother Zhang Dao". After all, the people he dealt with in Nanyang were all senior teachers, such as Wang Jiaohe, Xu Jiaorong, Xie Jiaofeng, Zheng Jiaohe, etc. Wait, they were all talking about friendship among peers, and just saying "Brother Tao" was enough. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that this was Zhang Yuelu's natal family, considered an elder, and finally changed his name to Zhang Fuli.

Zhang Kuping did not take it seriously, but returned the courtesy and said: "Everything is fine. Thank you for your help. Tianyuan is concerned about you."

Tang Jiaohua said: "The Heavenly Master is waiting for you two."

Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "Then let's go see the Heavenly Master first, and then we'll talk about anything else."
