Chapter 49 Five People

Jinque responded quickly. Two days after Shi Bingyun and Li Ruoshui reported to Jinque, Jinque made a formal decision.

It must be said that Jinque seemed to make a fuss about this matter because of some reasons that were not easy to tell others. It was just a matter of a fourth-rank official, which could have been handled by the Daofu. As a result, Jinque sent a five-member investigation team.

However, Jinque also knew that it would be too much of a fuss just because of Qi Xuansu's matter, which would inevitably cause criticism. Therefore, in name, it sent people to inspect the Daofu of the Imperial Capital under the pretext of the Daoluo Division's notice. Investigating Qi Xuansu's matter was just a side job. In this way, it was more reasonable.

The five-member investigation team members came from five different places and had their own division of labor.

Because it involved secret societies and evil cults, Tiangang Hall had an obligation to do so. The representative of Tiangang Hall was the small head Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu was also the highest-ranking person in the group, so she served as the convener, which was the position of Lei Xiaohuan in the seven-member investigation team during the second Jiangnan case.

Because this is an internal affair of the Taoist sect, Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall will also be involved, but Fengxian Hall only sent a chief, a fourth-rank Taoist priest, who is at the same level as Qi Xuansu and nominally has to obey Zhang Yuelu's orders.

As for Beichen Hall, the person sent is also a fourth-rank Taoist priest, but he is an acting deputy hall master, surnamed Li, named Li Changge.

The reason given by Beichen Hall is that although Deputy Hall Master Li won honor and face for the Taoist sect at the Three Religions Conference and was promoted to Deputy Hall Master, he has not experienced much practical work and is still in the stage of observing politics. In the past, Confucianism preferred pure talk and abandoned practical work, so let Deputy Hall Master Li take this opportunity to experience it well. In addition, Deputy Hall Master Zhang participated in the handling of two major cases in Jiangnan and has rich experience in practical work, so it is just right for her to give some advice.

Li Changge did not mind that he had to obey Zhang Yuelu's arrangements in name, and expressed his obedience to Jinque's decision, promising to fully cooperate with Deputy Hall Master Zhang and learn from him.

Although Li Changge and Li Tianzhen both have the surname Li, they are not the same kind of people. Li Tianzhen is more like Donghuang, unruly, arrogant, and acts without restraint. He does not care about other people's opinions and does not bother to hide himself. Li Changge has a bit of the legacy of Xuansheng. He hides mysteries inside and shows gentleness outside. He is neither domineering nor aggressive. Instead, he is a modest gentleman who is as gentle as jade.

Then there is Wanshou Chongyang Palace. At first glance, this matter seems to have nothing to do with Wanshou Chongyang Palace, but Qi Xuansu is a disciple of Quanzhen Dao, so Wanshou Chongyang Palace, which is only responsible for the internal affairs of Quanzhen Dao, can also participate. However, Wanshou Chongyang Palace is not responsible for other things, only Qi Xuansu's case. In fact, it can also be Wuxu Palace, but this matter is decided by Quanzhen Dao itself, and both are OK.

If Qi Xuansu is a disciple of Taiping Dao, then he will come to Zhenjing Villa or Qingling Palace.

The person sent by Wanshou Chongyang Palace is the new assistant Yao Pei, whose position is high enough, but because her Taoist rank is only the fourth-rank priest, one level lower than Zhang Yuelu, the third-rank priest, and she is not working in Yujing, so she is below Zhang Yuelu.

The last person is the Jinque Special Envoy, representing Jinque, not in the Nine Halls, but serving in Jinque. He is one of the high-ranking Taoists in Jinque who is responsible for specific work. If there is a place that is higher than the upper three halls, except for the Zixiao Palace directly under the Grand Master, it is only Jinque.

When the seven-member investigation team was last formed, Lei Xiaohuan served as the Jinque Special Envoy as the deputy head of Ziwei Hall. Generally speaking, the convener serves as the Jinque Special Envoy, so that the power belongs to one person. But this time, for some reason, Zhang Yuelu, the convener, did not serve as the Jinque Special Envoy, but sent another Jinque Special Envoy, which was quite supervisory.

This is like marching and fighting. In the past, the command was given to one person, but this time a military supervisor was sent over.

This Jinque envoy is not a member of the Three Daos, but a neutral Taoist priest directly under the lineage of the Grand Master. His surname is Han and his name is Han Yongshuang.

Yujing is more than ten thousand miles away from the Imperial Capital. Even if you take a flying boat, it will take one or two days, so the news must arrive before people.

When the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital Daofu learned of this news, it naturally caused a great shock.

In the eyes of many people, Jinque's excessive attention is only one aspect, and the protection of Qi Zhushi is also obvious.

The five-member investigation team, one is Qi Zhushi's old boss and "close friend", and the other is Qi Zhushi's classmate in the upper palace. Although there is also a proud son of the Li family, at most he can only offset one of the above two people, and the "Qi-protecting faction" still has the upper hand.

Many people who were originally skeptical about rumors such as "Qi Zhushi's background is all-powerful" have to believe it. After all, facts speak louder than words.

This is the case within the Imperial Capital Daofu, let alone outsiders.

Cui Zhushi went to see Wen Weng again, but not at the Imperial Capital of Taiping Inn, but at Wutongyuan, a first-class abode.

As a regular customer, Cui Zhushi did not go through the main gate of Wutongyuan, but went through the side door and entered a three-story courtyard of a single building - the first-class abodes are very large, and there are caves inside. Many big figures like to rent a courtyard here, find peace in the hustle and bustle, and retreat from the world to cultivate themselves. This is not uncommon, so I won't go into details.

From the front door to the second door and then to the bedroom, under the eaves of this courtyard, red gauze lanterns are hung everywhere, and each lantern is reflected with the three big characters "Wutongyuan", which illuminates this backyard with red light.

A Wutongyuan manager was in front, leading Cui Zhushi all the way, and lanterns with "Wutongyuan" flashed over their heads and went back.

Arriving outside the door, the door was now open, and the room was also filled with red light, exuding a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

The steward who led the way stopped there. Manager Cui stepped forward, entered the room, turned around the screen, and saw a round table. Wen Weng was neatly dressed and sitting on the main seat, with a woman beside him, but she only wore a layer of transparent gauze like cicada wings, everything was vaguely visible. As the saying goes, still holding the pipa and half covering the face, it arouses people's imagination.

There is another woman, similarly dressed, sitting far away, playing the pipa.

The big strings are as noisy as the rain, and the small strings are as loud as whispers. The bullets are noisy and mixed, and big and small beads fall on the jade plate.

Wen Weng tilted his ears and tapped his fingers on the table.

This is nothing, the key is that there is another person here, sitting on the guest seat next to Wen Weng, but he is dressed in monk's robes, with three thousand worry threads cut off on his head. At this moment, he is sitting still, but there is someone in his arms.

The house is paved with earth dragon fire paths, and even in the winter weather, it is still as warm as spring. The woman in her arms is greedy for the cold, and has taken off her socks. She has a pair of bare feet, half caged with light gauze, revealing two snow-white shoulders, sitting horizontally. On the monk's lap, two snow-capped arms hugged the monk's neck, and his face was pressed against the monk's chest, giggling.

The monk was none other than Monk Yanxiu, with no trace of lewdness on his face, a solemn appearance, and a posture of sitting calmly with his arms in his arms, but his hands were raised and lowered, respectively, in two sensitive places.

When Master Cui saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. This is worse than a hypocrite, and worse than a fake Taoism. All of these people from the three religions want to destroy human desires. How many of them can do it? They shout that they are not sexually immoral, but secretly they are more shameless than the other. Especially about Buddhism in the Western Regions, he still knows a little about Mingwang Mingfei and Huanxi Zen.

However, Manager Cui didn't show it on his face and was still smiling.

Seeing Master Cui come in, Wen Weng pointed at the woman who was playing the pipa: "Brother Cui, this is specially reserved for you."

Manager Cui is not a serious person, but he is really not in the mood today. He waved his hand and said: "Forget it today, let's talk about business another day."

Wen Weng didn't force himself, and let the woman beside him pour him wine, and then told the pipa girl: "Keep playing, one song after another, and you won't be allowed to stop until I tell you to stop."

The woman responded softly.

Amid the sound of the pipa, the people waiting outside could not hear the conversation between the three of them.

Manager Cui sat across from Monk Yanxiu. On the round table were several plates of exquisite side dishes, three pairs of ivory chopsticks, an exquisite crystal bottle and three luminous cups. The bottles were blood red in color, as if they were shipped from the West. wine.

Just this bottle of wine costs hundreds of dollars, and ordinary people may not be able to save so much money in their lifetime.

But at this moment, Wen Weng poured the wine on the woman beside him casually. The snow-white and tender skin, the wine as red as blood, the thin gauze as thin as cicada wings, and the woman's perfect virginity and shyness, were full of excitement. Under the red light of the room, there is a different kind of beauty.

But it can't help but remind people of a poem: The wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

When Chief Cui first arrived in the Imperial Capital, he was still quite shocked by such things, but now he has become accustomed to it and doesn't take it seriously at all. He just said: "The matter has become serious, and Jinque will use this matter to intervene in the Imperial Palace."

Wen Weng said nothing, but looked at him closely.

Master Cui briefly recounted Jin Que's decision in advance, and then said: "Anyone can see that since the decision was made after Jin Que's small discussion, it is not a matter of a few young eighth-generation disciples acting without authorization, but They represent the seven generations of disciples behind them. In other words, Zhang Yuelu represents Master Cihang, Yao Pei represents Master Donghua, and Li Changge represents Master Qingwei. It is obvious that the three Masters are involved in this matter. After the competition, Master Cihang and Master Donghua gave up their shame and made up their minds to keep Qi Xuansu. Master Qingwei also saw this and didn't want them to get their wish, so they sent the little ancestor of the Li family. , and even specially created a special envoy from Jinque to supervise Zhang Yuelu.

Wen Weng was stunned for a while, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said softly: "The situation has become complicated. Although the young national master is young and promising, he cannot hold up his fists and is difficult to defeat with four hands. Now it seems that Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyiyi have a clear division of labor. , Quanzhen Tao doesn’t care about anything else, it just wants to recruit people. As for the Zhengdao, this Zhang Gaogong is probably here to investigate. "
