Chapter 116: Gospel Department

On the other side, the train was heading towards Harrisburg.

The first-class carriages were actually private rooms with beds and even sleeping.

Although Qi Xuansu and Audrey pretended to be a couple, Qi Xuansu did not intend to make it real, so he just sat on the bed and flipped a special token with two fingers. It looked like a Tai Chi double fish picture, but it was not half black and half white, but mainly black, with only two dots white. This also symbolized that the tone of Beichen Hall would not be so bright, just, and morally noble, and it was even completely contrary to the other side.

Qi Xuansu's token was different from others' tokens. It was more gorgeous, with a circle of lotus-shaped decorations on the edge of the badge, like a lotus seat.

In a sense, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall was also a lowly position with great power. "Lowly position" depends on who he is compared with. Compared with ordinary high-grade Taoist priests, it is certainly not a low position, but compared with Canzhi Zhenren, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall is a low position, because he cannot participate in the Golden Palace meeting and has no voting power. But just in terms of the power in his hands, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, who is in charge of the huge overseas power of Beichen Hall, has more power than many lower-ranked assistant masters, so it is said that he is in a low position but has great power.

This situation is a bit similar to that of a secretary. If the chief deputy hall masters of Beichen Hall want to go further, they must learn to give up this power and become ordinary assistant masters without such great power first, and seek greater power in the future. Just like a secretary must stay away from the power center and be sent to another place to have greater development.

Fortunately, Qi Xuansu does not have to consider the trade-off between future development and greater power for the time being.

As the most powerful deputy hall master among the three chief deputy hall masters of the upper three halls, the chief of Beichen Hall always has many special features.

In fact, the official Taoist priests of Beichen Hall must of course call Qi Xuansu the chief deputy hall master - the title when working.

But those non-staff members will not call Qi Xuansu the chief, their identities are very embarrassing, to put it bluntly, are they not Taoist priests worthy of being called titles? This is the privilege of Taoist priests. Outsiders can only address him as a master, a high-ranking official, or a real person, but if they are asked to address him as a real person, they feel alienated. After all, they are also members of Beichen Hall, so they invented a special name based on this token - Lotus Seat.

It is a double entendre. It refers to this special token that looks like a lotus seat, and also means the first seat or the seat below. Moreover, the lotus refers to the lotus crown, which also means the real person.

Its nature is similar to the Li family not calling Xuansheng or Taishang Daozu, but Shengzu or Dashengzu. In this way, they can show their close relationship and special status.

In addition, this token can not only be used to prove identity, but also

can be used for communication. However, Qi Xuansu has the highest authority. He can take the initiative to contact other token holders. Unless special permission is given, others cannot take the initiative to contact him.

Just half an hour ago, a hidden player sent a message to Qi Xuansu, with only three short words: traitor.

This hidden player helped Qi Xuansu to forge his identity, so Qi Xuansu allowed this hidden player to contact him directly.

The hidden man didn't know that Qi Xuansu was the Lotus Seat. He only knew that he was codenamed "Mr. Li" and was a high-level official of the Beichen Hall.

Then the hidden man lost contact, and Qi Xuansu initially judged that the hidden man had died.

There was no time to mourn for him, and Qi Xuansu had to consider his own situation.

It is common for traitors to appear. After all, the Holy See is not a dry meal. Although the Steam Gospel has openly abolished the Tribunal Department reorganized from the Tribunal, there is no power vacuum, and there will inevitably be other institutions to fill the gap left by the Tribunal Department.

In the New World, the Gospel Department replaces the functions of the Tribunal Department.

In the Old World, the Ministry of the Gospel of All Peoples is one of the Holy Departments of the Holy See and the highest missionary institution of the Holy See. It is affiliated with the Holy See Sacred Affairs Council. It was originally named the Ministry of Propaganda and also known as the Missionary Council.

In order to dilute the influence of the Holy See in the Old World, the Steam Gospel claimed to have abolished the notorious Tribunal Department in order to win people's hearts. But the functions of the Tribunal Department are indispensable. So the Steam Gospel reorganized the Ministry of the Gospel of All Peoples and renamed it the Ministry of the Gospel, which is essentially still exercising the functions of the Tribunal Department. In addition, the Goddess Society of the New World, which is nominally loyal to the Pope but has actually split, will assume the responsibilities of the Ministry of the Gospel of All Peoples.

In the New World, whether it is a noble or a priest, the most feared sentence is "The Ministry of the Gospel invites you to listen to the gospel of the Supreme Will".

Beichen Hall and the Ministry of the Gospel are also old rivals, and they have won and lost against each other.

It is not surprising that Beichen Hall planted and developed hidden players, and the Ministry of the Gospel purged traitors and instigated the hidden players planted by Beichen Hall.

At this moment, the appearance of a traitor means that Qi Xuansu's whereabouts are likely to be exposed.

For Qi Xuansu, unless Strawney directly rebelled, there is no danger for the time being. But it will be very troublesome. He used several hidden players because of the fake identity and the problem of train and boat tickets. It is easy to be discovered and even see through Qi Xuansu's evacuation route.

This is something Qi Xuansu has to consider.

Audrey sat opposite Qi Xuansu, observing his demeanor, and asked cautiously, "What happened?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head, "Nothing serious."

Having said that, Qi Xuansu still ordered the relevant personnel to retreat.

This order might expose the information that the Lotus Seat is in the North Continent. Qi Xuansu considered that this information might be deliberately released by the Ministry of Gospel, with the intention of alerting the enemy, but he had to give this order.

Who betrayed?

Maybe the explosion in the lower city alerted the Gospel Ministry, or maybe Sofia reached some kind of agreement with the Gospel Ministry.

Qi Xuansu thought so.

To be fair, he is really not good at espionage and is almost a layman. Qingwei Zhenren did not use him to spy on intelligence and eliminate traitors. He was mainly used to be a peacemaker who would go to the Southern Continent to mediate and stabilize the situation. He was not used to stir up the spy sea. Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened, which caught Qi Xuansu a little off guard, and he could only take one step at a time.

Qi Xuansu issued a retreat order to many of Saint York's secret agents. They had their own rules on how to retreat, so Qi Xuansu didn't have to worry about it. .??.

There is no need to touch people like Strawney. Only Qingwei Zhenren, Qi Xuansu and the former chief know about their situation. The relevant chamber of commerce supports Strawney openly, and Leopold and others are also aware of it. , many congressmen are doing similar things, smuggling, commerce, joint trade, all for profit, and the Gospel Ministry is unable to interfere.

Even the deputy hall leader does not know Strauni's true identity, so he has little influence on Strauni. The key is the ordinary dark men.

If there is a rebellion at the middle or high levels, then they have a large number of personnel lists, and they are likely to wipe out the bottom secretaries in one fell swoop, and a retreat order is necessary.

Because Qi Xuansu doesn't know who the traitor is yet, and it is impossible to block it in advance, the traitor will also receive the retreat message from Qi Xuansu.

In this case, if the dead man was deliberately released by the Gospel Ministry in order to alert the enemy, then they succeeded.

In an inconspicuous two-story building in Midtown St. York, a slightly excited voice echoed, "Our guess is correct."

"Yes, sir," another calm voice responded.

At this time, in the reception room on the second floor

, a Western-faced man was walking back and forth. He was not wearing formal trousers, but a black priest's uniform similar to a robe. The upper body was not much different from the formal dress, and the hem of the lower body was very long, longer than the coat. At this point, the East and the West are the same. Both Taoist priests and priests prefer cumbersome robes.

The other sitting face is a typical oriental face, with black pupils and black hair.

He held a glass and said unhurriedly, "We deliberately asked the hidden man to send a message to 'Mr. Li' before he died. Soon after, the lotus seat personally issued the order to retreat. This shows two things. Possibly, the first possibility is that Mr. Li is a close subordinate of Lotus, and Mr. Li reported it to Lotus immediately after receiving the news. The second possibility is that Mr. Li is Lotus himself. "

The western face stopped and looked at the eastern face, "Sun, which possibility do you prefer?"

The oriental face put down the glass in his hand, "Mr. Lopez, it's hard to say now. After all, we just caught up with the change of office. The old rosette was promoted to the real person of Shenzhi, and the new rosette has just taken office. Everyone is unfamiliar with this new rosette."

This oriental face is called Sun Zhongnu.

The external aspects of Beichen Hall are mainly divided into four parts: management, intelligence, operations, and creation.

These four departments have very high standards and are equivalent to branches of Daodaofu. Each department is led by an assistant. In addition, there are six branches without Taoist temples, which also have assistant positions.

In other words, there are ten assistants under the chief deputy hall master.

The six branch assistants without the prefix Daofu respectively correspond to six major regions. The western continent has two major regions, east and west, and the west Posuzhou region. The northern continent has two major regions, south and north, and the southern continent. .

Sun Zhongnu is the deputy of the Auxiliary Manager of the North Region of the Northern Continent. He is not an official Taoist priest, but was born with a Taoist priest. However, the Auxiliary Manager of the Northern Region of the Northern Continent values ​​him very highly and allows him to be closely involved in various confidential affairs.

Sun Zhongnu's rebellion caused great destruction, and even the Auxiliary Minister of the Northern Region himself fell into the hands of the Evangelical Ministry.

When Sun Zhongnu was assisting the Evangelical Ministry in arresting the secret agent of Beichen Hall, he accidentally discovered a special existence named "Mr. Li". He was very sure that Mr. Li had never existed before, which made Sun Zhongnu Zhongnu was very interested, and after consulting with Dennis Lopez of the Evangelical Ministry, the plan was finalized.

Sun Zhongnu opened the file, "The ticket to the San Antonio Mission, and two false identities, one named Wen

Center Keener, and the other is named Valerie Keener. "
