Chapter 95: Second Revenge

The four outer cities of the Imperial Capital are the most mixed. If you want to say who is the most famous recently, it is not the five-member group high in the clouds, but Qi Zhushi.

After the North City's Master Gao was taken down in public by this person, the news spread throughout the outer cities. Anyone who makes a living in the gray area knows this person.

A few days ago, this Qi Zhushi was quiet for a while. It is said that he was involved in a lawsuit and was suspended for investigation. Everyone knows that this is the backer behind Master Gao. In this kind of thing, the more you retreat, the more others will step forward. Master Gao was killed. If you don't show this Qi Zhushi a little color, you can't turn over.

This also made many people feel relieved and a little complacent. Look, is the Imperial Capital an ordinary place? Are our Imperial Capital gentlemen easy to bully? As the saying goes, a strong dragon crossing the river cannot suppress a local snake. No matter what your identity is, after coming to the Imperial Capital, you have to coil up if you are a dragon and lie down if you are a tiger.

But no one expected that this Qi Zhushi had such a powerful background. He was suspended for investigation, which caused quite a stir, but he was reinstated a few days later, as if nothing had happened.

Logically speaking, he should have stopped after suffering a loss, but this Qi Zhushi did not. He started to make trouble again just after he was reinstated, and led his troops to destroy Qiuhuayuan in Nancheng.

This was the property of the Prince of Langya. It was said that there was a big fuss at that time, and even the imperial guards of the Shenshu Camp were dispatched, but in the end they failed to save Qiuhuayuan and it was still closed down.

Many people saw that people were being pulled from Penglai Pond to the Jade Emperor Palace by boat. In addition to the black-armored spiritual officials on the boat, there were also gorgeous girls. After all, it was a second-class brothel, not comparable to ordinary brothels. The women inside were of high quality and all of them were beautiful. If they were to control their worldly airs, they would be considered the daughters of some rich families. But in front of these spiritual officials, the phoenix became a chicken, no longer charming and radiant as it was during the tea party, and each of them was wilted.

There was no way, Su Li was in charge of supervision. As a woman, and a moralist, she hated these women and would not have the slightest sympathy for them.

As for the servants, maids, eunuchs, and guards, it goes without saying that they were in a mess, and some were even shackled.

This scared the other brothels. Although those who could open brothels in the Imperial Capital City had some background, there were not many who had a bigger background than the King of Liao and the Prince of Langya, and whose backers were stronger than the King of Liao and the Prince of Langya. Today, Master Qi could sweep the Qiuhua Courtyard in the South City and the Green Cui Xiachu in the North City. It is hard to say that he will not sweep several brothels in the East City and the West City tomorrow.

Each brothel could not help but curse secretly. With so many big shots, no one could think of a ruthless way to deal with this grandson? We don't expect to kill him, just get rid of him. If that doesn't work, let him stay quiet for a few days, even if it costs some peace money.

Unfortunately, the big guys don't care about these little things, and Qi Xuansu is strong enough, so he really runs rampant in the outer city.

The various brothels can't solve the people who raise the problem, they can only solve the problem. So those who don't have the documents quickly make up, and those who ask for redemption are approved immediately. If there are people who force women into prostitution or buy and sell people, they can go back to where they came from. Not only will the brothel reimburse the travel expenses, but also give some subsidies as hush money.

As for those tricks that don't conform to the moral norms of Taoism, they have stopped and avoided the limelight.

There is no way, it's better to spend money to avoid disaster than to close down.

This made many prostitutes very dissatisfied, and they scolded Qi Zhushi for being a dog catching a rat and meddling in other people's business.

It was a coincidence that these words did not reach Qi Xuansu's ears, but reached Su Li's ears. In Su Li's view, this was openly resisting the Imperial Capital Daofu's rectification of the atmosphere, making immoral remarks, and attacking the defenders of the Dao. So Su Li waved his hand and sent the spiritual officials to capture the few people who cursed the most fiercely, and charged them with the crime of "picking quarrels and provoking troubles", and sent them to the Hell to accompany those turtle slaves.

Seeing that Su Li was full of energy, Qi Xuansu simply let her take full responsibility for the follow-up, but emphasized that the news of those Kun Daos must not be spread. Even if they were to be dealt with, they must be kept low-key and emphasize Qiuhuayuan to the outside world. In addition, if the Kun Daos had made meritorious deeds, his promise would be valid and the corresponding punishment could be reduced or exempted.

Su Li knew the importance of maintaining the reputation of the Dao Sect, so she agreed to the first one, but she had some objections to the second one to reduce the punishment. In her opinion,

These people should be hung on the tree one by one, how could they be forgiven easily?

Qi Xuansu had to persuade and educate them. The real meaning of punishment was not to destroy them, but to make them repent and start a new life. Their meritorious deeds were a manifestation of repentance. Our morality should not become a cage that binds people's hearts, but a good medicine to cure corruption. Since it is a good medicine, saving people comes first.

These clichés were what Qi Xuansu often heard when he was in the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace. It was because he was familiar with 300 poems that he could recite poems even if he could not write them. Qi Xuansu heard them a lot and naturally spoke them out.

Su Li obviously had never been to the lower palace, and Qingqiu Mountain did not have these theoretical teachings. She was easily persuaded by Qi Xuansu and agreed to give these Kundao who made mistakes another chance. She also admired Qi Xuansu greatly - Qi Zhushi not only had a strong heart to defend the Dao, but also had a high level.

Qi Xuansu sealed Qiuhuayuan, which was a temporary explanation for Li Ruoshui's arrangement. In the short term, Li Ruoshui would not use this matter to embarrass Qi Xuansu again. After all, Qi Xuansu had handled two major cases in a row, which was already quite amazing. He could not ask Qi Xuansu to open a monastery every day, and the monasteries in the entire Imperial Capital would not be enough. The internal struggles of the Taoist sect did not count secretly, but they had to occupy the word "reason" in public.

So Qi Xuansu took this opportunity to prepare for the second revenge operation Qiniang said.

Last time, "Meng Xingyun" personally took the lead. Qiniang took the lead and wiped out a branch, killing a Tianzihao clerk, two Dizihao clerks, and several Xuanzihao clerks.

According to Qiniang, after this battle, the "Inn" learned about the Qingpinghui's intentions, and their main focus was on Wuxing Mountain, so the "Inn" gave up some branches in the Zhili area, which was actually temporary. Close the business, shrink the power, concentrate the manpower in one place, and merge several small strongholds into one large stronghold to prevent them from being defeated one by one by Qing Ping.

Therefore, in this revenge operation, the Qingping Association also upped the ante and sent three first-class members. In addition to the old face "Meng Xingyun", there are also "Taichang Yin" and "Sheng Wuyou".

For other second-class members of the Qingping Society, these two first-class members are both mysterious and masterful people. However, Qi Xuan has Qiniang's "Xiao Zao". Although he has not met the two of them, he already has a general understanding of them. understanding.

"Taichang Yin" is not one of the six members of the Privy Council of the Qing Ping Society, but a member of the council. He is also a heavenly being of the infinite stage, an alchemist, and proficient in various divination spells. Probably because of the extraordinary talents, from the "Ziwei Dou Shu" of the banished immortals to the "Xiantian Divine Calculation" of the San people, to the "Fate Awareness" of Buddhism, the tortoise shell divination of the ancient witchcraft, and the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen, etc. , have dabbled in everything, and are also proficient in fortune-telling, Feng Shui, and physiognomy. Although she is not good at fighting with others, she can often work wonders. Sometimes, the Privy Council will even ask her for divination before making a decision.

Then there is "Sheng Wuyou", who is regarded as the face of the six members of the Privy Council, a genuine heavenly being in the stage of creation, and unlike "Qing Shishi", a newly promoted heavenly being, "Sheng Wuyou" "You" can be regarded as a heavenly being who has been created for many years. As early as ten years ago, he has already entered the stage of creation, which is the state of harmony of the Qi Refiner. However, for some unknown reason, he has been unable to enter the stage of pseudo-immortal. Now he has been eliminated by Qiniang. Overwhelm one end.

This time, with "Saint Wuyou" as the main player, "Meng Xingyun" as the supplement, and "Taichang Yin" as the assist, it is almost impossible to make any mistakes.

As for Qi Xuansu, he naturally just played the side drum and didn't have to take the lead.

By now, Qi Xuansu has roughly understood the upper-level logic of the Qingping Association, which mainly consists of the three pillars of the president, the Privy Council, and the Council.

To put it simply, the Privy Council has the power to “vote”, similar to the past cabinet, and the Council has the power to “approval”, similar to the past Supervisor of Ceremonies. The leader of the Council is the emperor, providing balance in the middle.

However, unlike the cabinet and the chief eunuch, the Privy Council does not have a chief assistant, and the council does not have a chief eunuch, and internal voting is required. For example, a decision must first be voted within the Privy Council, and then submitted to the Council, which will vote again for review. If both meetings pass, a formal resolution will be implemented, such as this revenge.

Under normal circumstances, the Privy Council is more powerful, and the Council will not easily veto the decisions of the Privy Council. Therefore, within the Qingping Council, many people only know the six members of the Privy Council.

It was decided to treat the council as a decoration.

The president is not the emperor. In addition to being able to make arbitrary decisions when there is a tie, the president also has the power to appoint members of the Privy Council and the Council. However, this personnel power is not complete. The leader only has the power to appoint, but not to remove. For example, the president can nominate and appoint Qiniang to the Privy Council when there are few people in the Privy Council, but he cannot remove Qiniang. If he wants to remove Qiniang, he needs to go through the review of the Council.

This leads to a very interesting situation. Although the leader can arrange for close confidants to enter the Privy Council or Council, there is also the possibility that close confidants will burn bridges and turn their backs on others. This creates a very complicated balance of power within the Qingping Society. Many times reaching a decision requires a lot of compromise and negotiation.

As for the choice of the leader, it is not hereditary, but needs to be jointly recommended by all Class A members. This is the direct reason why the Yao family has gradually withdrawn from the Qingping Association.

Of course, when doing specific work, these first-class members must also personally do it, and even go to the front line in person. This eliminates the possibility of sitting down and discussing unrealistic issues, so neither the Privy Council nor the Council will make outrageous decisions. , after all, it is oneself who is harmed in the end.
