Chapter 210: Vice Governor Han is a blessing in disguise
Hearing that Master Boyunlei was being censored by the Immortal Court, Chu Chen's expression became serious.
He vaguely heard that there was a big turmoil in the top management of the county's Ghosts and Gods Department. He didn't expect that the matter would become so big. The director and deputy director were not spared, and they were all arrested.
Everything has two sides.
The bad thing about disappearing is that both the chief and deputy officers are arrested. The good news is that both the chief and deputy officers are arrested.
Immortal Court is not targeting Master Boyunlei Taoist, but wants to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Senior Brother, Senior Uncle shouldn't be in charge of the Zhongyuan Zhai Festival, right?"
Chu Chen asked cautiously.
He really didn't know much about the specific situation. He was afraid that the master, Taoist Boyunlei, was also responsible for some aspects of the Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao, which would cause trouble.
Senior Brother Zhenqing shook his head:
"Master has just joined the County Ghosts and Gods Department, and his qualifications are still relatively low. How can he be responsible for such a prestigious job? The person who nominally presides over the Zhongyuan Zhaijiao is the Du Guan. In fact, he is the first deputy Du Guan of the County Ghosts and Gods Department. Deputy Du Guan Fang took the lead in making arrangements. I
Master will accompany you to the meeting. If it were the past, all you would have to do is show up and go through the motions. Who would have thought..."
Chu Chen understood.
Hosting the "Zhongyuan Zhaijiao" to help thousands of deceased souls return home to visit relatives has immeasurable merit and is a "fat job" that accumulates merits.
The person who presides over the fasting ceremony in various places is the governor of one party, and then the governor chooses a deputy governor to be responsible for the specific errands of the fasting ceremony.
Normally, in order to unite the team, the captain will distribute the "fat difference" to the deputy captain whose qualifications and reputation are second only to him.
This deputy governor Fang is the number one deputy governor of the Guangping Ghosts and Gods Department.
This arrangement is quite satisfactory and there is nothing unusual about it.
The only problem is that the "fat job" that easily accumulated merits was messed up and a big mistake was made.
After confirming that the great uncle did not specifically participate in the "Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao", Chu Chen's worries subsided a lot.
During this period, Chu Chen asked Qingying, the dragon girl, for news about the senior officials of Guangping County.
But it's a pity.
This time, Xianting was really serious about it, and the confidentiality work was extremely good. Even the well-informed dragon girl Qingying didn't know the specific situation.
"Little devil, what do you think?"
Chu Chen asked subconsciously.
The little ghost floated out and lay on Chu Chen's shoulder, feeling quite embarrassed:
"Senior brother, you think too highly of me. Even my uncle can't see me. How can I be a harbinger of bad luck or good luck?"
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly.
Last night when I was hunting for ghosts, I got used to asking about the little ghost boy, so I subconsciously asked about the little ghost boy.
The little devil is not a god and cannot foretell misfortune to others out of thin air.
Without a source of information, Chu Chen and Zhenqing had no choice but to rush to Yunshuiju to wait for Taoist Xu Ping to return.
In the middle of the night, Taoist priest Xu Ping returned to Yunshui Residence after a long journey.
Senior brother Zhenqing was very excited when he saw Xu Ping Daoxing.
"Uncle Master, how is my master?"
"Sit down and speak slowly."
Taoist Xu Ping asked the two of them to sit down, and he sat on the main seat of the main hall by himself, with a trace of relaxation on his face.
"I have been inquiring about this matter just now, and I came back late."
When Chu Chen and Zhen Qing saw Taoist Xu Ping's relaxed expression, most of the worries in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
"Master, why did the superiors arrest all the governors and deputy governors? Although the Zhongyuan Zhai Festival has caused trouble, the Immortal Court is not going to be such a big battle, right?"
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly, considered for a while, and said:
"It is true that there is a reason. This time the ghost is suffering from the shadow of a demon. Only then did the Immortal Court take control of the governor and deputy governor and review them one by one."
Chu Chen and Zhenqing were shocked when they heard this.
It’s really a demon!
No wonder something happened at the Zhongyuan Zhai Festival, which had never happened in previous years. It turned out that it was not a natural disaster, but a "man-made disaster".
In addition to being surprised, Zhenqing also breathed a sigh of relief and said firmly:
"My master will definitely not collude with demons. This time he should be able to avert danger and escape safely."
Taoist Xu Ping took a sip of tea:
"Your master has passed the review of the Immortal Court and has been proven innocent. He is currently meditating in the study of the County Ghosts and Gods Department and will be released tomorrow."
"However, your master is the deputy governor of the capital. If such a big thing happens, no matter how innocent you are, you will still be involved and you will have to suffer."
Chu Chen, Zhenqing was not surprised when he heard this.
"Master, what punishment will Uncle Master receive?"
Xu Ping muttered: "The lighter punishment will be a fine, and the more severe punishment will be a lower grade in performance evaluation."
Chu Chen and Zhenqing were shocked.
This punishment is not light.
The fine is okay, it is the lightest punishment. A bigger fine will just mean a loss of some money.
The punishment for being downgraded in performance evaluation is quite severe and will directly affect the promotion and transfer of immortal officials.
Compared to Chu Chen and the other two, Taoist Xu Ping seemed quite calm and laughed softly:
"Haha~ No need to worry, no matter what the punishment is, it is a blessing among misfortunes."
When Chu Chen and the two heard this, they nodded in approval.
Compared to the fact that the County Ghosts and Gods Department had made such a big mistake, the punishment was indeed not severe. Master Boyunlei Taoist Master had survived the disaster.
Chu Chen was quite relieved that his uncle was fine.
"Master, what about the deputy director who is in charge of everything else? Who is responsible for the ghost problem?"
"Of course Deputy Fang is in charge."
When Taoist Xu Ping mentioned this person, his face was full of regret: "Actually, Deputy Du Guan Fang is also very innocent. He himself did not collude with the monster. It was Vice President Yao whom he promoted who colluded with the monster."
"Vice President Yao himself has mediocre magical powers, and his ability to do things is not very good. His only advantage is that he is a relative of Vice President Fang, and that's why he has been promoted and promoted along the way."
"This time, Deputy Du Guan Fang was appointed to be in charge of the Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao Festival, and also appointed Vice President Yao."
"This Vice President Yao has long been bewitched by evil spirits and controlled by others. Taking advantage of his position, he quietly destroyed the Guangping Ghost Gate hub formation."
"Originally, once the ghost gate hub formation was opened, only qualified dead souls could come to the world to visit relatives. However, something went wrong with the formation, and the ghosts followed the dead souls and came to the world..."
Taoist priest Xu Ping explained the causes and consequences of the ghost plague one by one.
"Uncle, how will Immortal Court deal with Deputy Governor Yao and Deputy Governor Fang?"
Senior Brother Zhenqing asked quickly.
Chu Chen was also quite curious and looked at his master.
"Vice President Yao colluded with evil spirits and committed a major crime. The crime is unpardonable and will be destroyed!"
"Although Vice-President Fang did not collude with evil spirits, he was nepotistic, abused his power, neglected his duties, and committed a big mistake. The Immortal Court will remove him from all his immortal positions, expel his immortal status, and exile him to a wilderness thousands of miles away to kill demons and demons to atone for his sins."
"In addition, the immortal officials who participated in the destruction of the formation under the orders of Vice President Fang will either be beheaded or destroyed."
Xu Ping was a decent man who hated evil as much as he hated evil. He had sharp eyes and murderous intent.
"In charge of the capital, where is the deputy in charge?"
Chu Chen continued to ask.
When Xu Ping heard this, he said with regret:
"Du Guan has suffered an unreasonable disaster. He was the person in charge of the Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao Festival, so he cannot escape the blame. The Immortal Court dismissed Du Guan from his post as an immortal and kept him in court. The same treatment as Du Guan is our Guangping County Sheriff.
"
Chu Chen and Wang Ping nodded repeatedly.
"As for the other deputy governors, they are similar to your senior uncle. They are just minor punishments and cannot be hit on their heads with sticks."
"However, there is one exception, Deputy Governor Han Chen. During this time of the ghost crisis, he not only suspended the Ghost Gate Hub Formation immediately, but later repaired the formation. It was all thanks to him to turn the tide."
"This time, Deputy Du Guan Han was not only not punished, but was praised by the Immortal Court and temporarily took charge of the Guangping County Ghost and God Department."
When Taoist Xu Ping finished speaking, his expression was quite emotional, and he said mysteriously:
"It is said that the State Department of Ghosts and Gods intends to nominate Deputy Governor Han to serve as the Governor of Guangping County..."
