It will take several days.

Taoist palaces are constantly inspected, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

The fourth night.

Inside the inspection room.

The Taoist founder breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the commendation order that had just been handed out in his hand.

It is clearly written on it that in order to thank the previous patrol room for rescuing layman Li Huoyun, Tan Yangzhou Yamen added an additional temporary position for Mingjing Palace.

"Okay, okay...it's really good..." Taoist Kaishan smiled broadly on his face.

This temporary position came at a perfect time.

"In addition, there is a thank you gift of three hundred taels sent by layman Li Huoyun himself." Xiaoyun on the side reminded in a low voice.

"Money is a trivial matter. There is one more temporary position, especially in prisons. This is an important job. How many people try to squeeze people into the prisons, but they can't. I didn't expect that there will be one more person this time."

He skillfully took out the charcoal and wrote the name of the recipient below the commendation order: Xue Ning.

"Xue Ning has given me a lot of good things in succession. This time it will be an advantage for him. It is also good luck for this kid to have such good things happen to him."

All kinds of big and small things often happen in the Mingjing Palace. After all, the martial arts sect is a big sect like Tan Yang.

The masters in the palace had to go out from time to time to mediate the disputes between the parties.

Some gangs and families would occasionally come to visit and ask the Palace of Mirrors to come forward to gain people from the officialdom.

Overall, the Palace of Mirrors can be regarded as a celebrity group that is half official and half worldly.

"Master, that Zhang Ying has made meritorious deeds again. We won't give you any benefits, just in case people get suspicious..." Xiao Yun reminded softly from the side.

"Benefits?" Taoist Kaishan issued the commendation order and said nonchalantly, "Then I'll give him twenty taels of this month's salary."

"Master, why don't you mention your duties?"

"What are you doing with the promotion? If he runs away, where will I find such a capable subordinate? It's better to keep him and suppress him, and he can make more contributions to me."

The Kaishan Taoist calculated it very clearly.

As for the reason for suppressing people?

Just say that young people should practice more and accumulate experience.

"But... if he finds out, are you unwilling to take action?" Xiaoyun was a little worried.

"Not taking action would be dereliction of duty. If the rules of the Taoist palace are enforced, it would cost him half his life. He has no choice but to do his best." Kaishan Taoist smiled nonchalantly.

The story of rescuing people at night was not widely spread in the Palace of Mirrors.

The upper echelons of the palace deliberately suppressed such negative news so as not to affect stability.

So everyone just knew something happened that night, but no one knew what happened.

Zhang Rongfang didn't care either. He received a reward from the patrol room afterwards, and this month's regular payment will be two taels more.

It's better than nothing.

He didn't care either. Maybe the person he rescued was stingy and was only willing to give a little money.

What he cares about now is merit. If he keeps accumulating like this, it won't be long before he can be promoted again.

What he wants is to quickly rise to a high position step by step. Obtain more resources and power, and then he can be exposed to more superior martial arts.

By then the money will naturally come.

May 19.

Zhang Rongfang came out of the letter room. He had just written a letter without leaving an address and sent it to his master.

I just don't know if it can be delivered.

After all, the situation there is a bit strange.

On his way here before, he was attacked by Qishan. Judging from the strange behavior of the master.

It is very likely that something will happen to Qinghe Palace in Huaxin County today.

After all, Qi Shan is the person who oversees Tang Sha.

After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Rongfang walked along the path on the left side of the temple to the disciples' room at the rear.

In the Tai Chi dojo in front of the temple, there was a group of bald monks wearing gray and red monk robes, talking with the master of Xuanxin Hall and other senior officials.

Looking from a distance, it seems that the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Zhang Rongfang just glanced at it and walked back without looking further.

Walking back all the way, we were almost reaching our own courtyard.

He suddenly slowed down and stopped.

In front of the gate of his courtyard, a tall and thin young man in brocade clothes was standing.

There were two strong guards behind the young master, both armed with swords. They looked quite impressive.

These days, not everyone's bodyguards have the authority to carry a knife.

For ordinary wealthy households, the servants at home can only carry sticks.

The young man in brocade looked around, looking very uneasy.

At this moment, he suddenly looked back and saw Zhang Rongfang gradually approaching.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he rushed over quickly.

"Brother Dao! Thank you for your help earlier! My dear, Li Huoyun! I came here to express my gratitude in person today!"

Although Li Huoyun was drugged at the time, his consciousness was not hazy.

On the contrary, because of the panic in his heart, his consciousness became clearer at that time.

Therefore, he knew that if Zhang Rongfang hadn't noticed something was wrong and suddenly attacked, the evil man would have to let him go if he didn't want to die together.

It's really hard to say what will happen to him after that.

After all, his father has offended too many people in his life. There are too many people who wish that his family would not be spared.

"Li Huoyun? Were you the drunk one that night?" Zhang Rongfang looked at the other party carefully, and then he also thought about it.

"Brother Dao, have you remembered!?" Li Huoyun was overjoyed, clasping his hands into fists, and bowing down seriously.

"That night, if Brother Tao hadn't noticed something wrong, I might..."

"It's my responsibility, no need to thank you." Zhang Rongfang nodded and said indifferently.

"I don't know where your hometown is? From your accent, it doesn't sound like you're from near Tanyang?" Li Huoyun asked.

"I came here from Huaxin County, and I haven't been here very long to say the least. In fact, Brother Li's matter will be fine even if other senior brothers and sisters take action." Zhang Rongfang said gently.

"That's right, in terms of force alone, there are many masters in the Mirror Palace, so there is no need to worry. The key is Brother Dao's keen sense of discovery and courage to take action!" Li Huoyun said seriously.

"In my opinion, in the entire Mingjing Palace, although there are people with higher martial arts skills than Brother Dao, no one can match you in terms of keen observation!"

This guy is so bragging...

Zhang Rongfang's own face felt a little hot.

"No, no, Brother Li is too high-minded. There are so many masters in the Mirror Palace. How can I, an ordinary martial artist, be able to compare like this?"

"Brother Dao, there is no need to belittle yourself. With Brother Dao's keenness, prudence and decisiveness, in the future, there may not be a place for Brother Dao in this Mingjing Palace.

No, maybe in the future the Taoist brother's reputation will be spread throughout the Taoist sect on Pingyu Road..." Li Huoyun sighed.

"I've passed it. Brother Li, I'm going to kill him with you." Zhang Rongfang waved his hand quickly.

Next, Zhang Rongfang also invited the other party to the courtyard and sat down on a stone bench to rest.

The two chatted for a while, mainly because Li Huoyun was a little curious about Zhang Rongfang's daily routine.

Most of the time he asked, and Zhang Rongfang answered.

After visiting the simple room where Zhang Rongfang lived, Li Huoyun sighed in his heart.

"Brother Dao is really dedicated to martial arts and has no distractions. I really admire him!"

When I think of Zhang Ying, after receiving his three hundred taels in return, he still lives in such a small room and maintains such difficult living conditions.

He also took the initiative to give up the temporary prison position given by his father to another person.

Such high moral integrity...

He felt more and more admired.

"How can this be considered difficult?" Zhang Rongfang smiled and didn't take it seriously.

From the chat just now, he learned that the Li Huoyun in front of him seemed to have an extraordinary family background.
