ps: Thanks to yangzhigang, eagle Zhou for the reward, and thanks to Qinghuan Meng for the monthly ticket encouragement.∑
During the trip to annihilate Zongjiazhuang, Zhao Ran watched a killing show and took five thousand taels of silver for nothing. He really made a fortune. For the past two days, Zhao Ran himself felt that the time traveler really had a halo attribute.
Yes, otherwise others have been the party leader for several years and have never encountered anything major. Just a few months after taking office, I encountered this big case.
When reporting the trip to the Song Supervisor, the Song Supervisor mentioned that Zong Weiwu's case of setting up a private Taoist altar and distorting teachings had been exposed by the people at the end of last year. Originally, Jinxian Wei was going to report to the report to the Yuan immediately.
They sent people to arrest him, but it happened that Wujiyuan was undergoing a change of responsibilities, so Jinxian Lieutenant continued to suppress him until recently on the pretext of intensifying the investigation.
Zhao Ran didn't pay attention at first, but after leaving the prison, he suddenly realized that this case was not a coincidence. It was clearly suppressed by Lieutenant Jin to reward him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ran made a special trip to the sutra hall to ask the sutra master Fang Zhihe about Jin Jiu's studies. Jin Jiu's current Taoist name is Jin Zhijiu, and he has been in the sutra hall for more than five months. In fact, Zhao Ran
Without asking, you can probably guess that given Jin Jiu's playboy temperament, it is impossible to change in such a short period of time, and his homework will not be much better. Sure enough, Jin Jiu has been ranked at the bottom in the monthly exams for the past five months.
, if he had not been strongly recommended by Zhao Ran, the high-ranking Liu Zhiguang would have even thought of deposing him.
Zhao Ranshao had no choice but to say good things for him again and asked Fang Zhihe to take more care of him.
In the past few days, Zhao Ran could feel that the progress at the Charity Hall was unimpeded, because the daily increase in merit power in his Qi Sea had returned to the previous level, and even exceeded it, which shows that
Charity Hall has helped more poor people.
However, the increase in the power of these merits seems to be a lot. However, Zhao Ran always feels that he is still far from the requirements of the "Taoist" realm. Based on the discussion of "Innate Merit Sutra" and "Zhengyi Talisman Method", he wants to start "
"Refining essence and transforming qi", before combining essence and magic power, you must first fill the qi sea with magic power, that is, you can feel the "swelling" of the qi sea. Only then can you enter the "Taoist" realm. You can receive Taoist talismans.
But I have transformed so much merit and power, but I still feel that it is far away from reaching the "swollen" level of the sea of qi. This is an intuitive feeling of cultivation, which cannot be quantified and cannot be explained clearly, but I know it must be the case.
.
In fact, Zhao Ran himself had also speculated that after spending so much money and doing so many good deeds, he could feel the magic power in the Qi Sea beating like a ball of flame in less than half a year. The speed should be amazing. But
In his subconscious, the targets of comparison or pursuit were Zhou Yumo and Zhu Meng from Huayun Pavilion, which made him a little impatient. Zhou Yumo had entered the Taoist realm more than a year ago, and Zhu Meng was
He had seen his talent with his own eyes, and it was undeniable that Zhao Ran felt urgent and anxious because of this. He really didn't want to be left too far away by these two people.
If he wants to catch up, Zhao Ran must find a way to make a "merit" windfall. He originally planned to start with young crop money to solve the loan problem of poor farmers in one fell swoop, thereby benefiting tens of thousands of people in Guyang County. But Wujiyuan
After the negotiation was completed, Guyang County also agreed, but it was stuck on an official document of approval from Xizhenwu Palace.
After much deliberation, Zhao Ran didn't think of who to look for. In the end, he had no choice but to look for Song Zhiyuan.
But Song Zhiyuan didn't have a good solution. His friendship with Xizhenwu Palace was just acquaintance with some people. Otherwise, with his profound deacon qualifications in Wujiyuan, there would not be so many twists and turns in his promotion to the Supervisory Academy. In the end, he would have to go through Zhao Rancai
He reluctantly came to power. He wanted Xizhenwu Palace to issue an official document allowing Zhao Ran to participate in the loan of young crops. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this was supporting Zhao Ran against the wealthy gentry. With Song Zhiyuan's "nodding acquaintance" relationship, it is impossible for anyone to
Be willing to take the lead.
As for the two newly promoted from Wujiyuan to Xizhenwu Palace, Zhong Tenghong and Zhao Ran didn't have much contact. Although Jiang Zhibiao and Zhao Ran were old, they were just old friends, and Jiang Zhibiao had not been in Xizhenwu Palace for a long time.
Shang Zi's foundation is not strong, so it is really difficult for him to come forward to help such a big person.
Zhao Ran was disappointed with Song Zhiyuan's answer, but he understood it very well and did not bother with it. When leaving, Song Zhiyuan sent Zhao Ran a message - Gao Gong Liu Zhiguang seemed to have some connections in Xizhenwu Palace, because he could be promoted
Gao Gong, it is said that he has the help of senior officials in Xizhenwu Palace.
Liu Zhiguang? When Zhao Ran heard this, he rushed to the Sutra Hall excitedly. He and Liu Zhiguang had a deep "friendship". If Liu Zhiguang had connections, it would really be useless.
After hearing about Zhao Ran's intention, Liu Zhiguang "persuaded" for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Ran was determined to do this, he stopped trying to stop him and instead told him frankly: "I'll tell you the truth, brother, I am indeed in Xi Zhenwu."
There are some connections in the palace, and I have a good relationship with Jing Zhimo, the governor of the capital."
"Everyone is in charge?" Zhao Ran was a little discouraged when he heard this. Among the Taoist sects, the status of the three capitals is indeed respected, and they are only under the supervision of the prison. However, the three capitals usually do not take care of things and only have a say in major matters.
, Zhao Ran's request for an official document from Xizhenwu Palace is a daily chore. It can be said to be a public matter, but also contains a strong private element. People like Sandu generally don't care about such matters, and it is indeed difficult to interfere.
Liu Zhiguang explained: "This Jingdu Guan is different from others. Although he is among the three capitals, he is an anomaly. To put it bluntly, among other palaces, although the three capitals have a high status, they are used to support the elderly.
, there is almost no possibility of going up to the next level. But this Jing Du Guan is only in his thirties and in his prime. There are rumors that Jing Du Guan was specially trained by Zhang Yunzhao of the prison to take care of the funeral. And Jing Du Guan
Du Guan's background is very deep, I don't know the details, but he and Yu Zhiyuan have a close relationship. Senior brother, I can get to know Jing Du Guan only because of Yu Zhiyuan."
"Oh? Sure enough? But can Senior Brother Gao Gong make a recommendation on my behalf?"
"No problem, leave it to me, senior brother. When I compile a letter, you can go to Xizhenwu Palace with the letter." Liu Zhiguang was also unambiguous and immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Ran: "Senior Brother, I won't be here for the specific matters.
The letter said that you should discuss it in person after meeting with the Jing Du Guan."
"Of course, senior brother, I have great righteousness. Junior brother, I will keep it in my heart!"
With Liu Zhiguang's letter, Zhao Ran planned to leave for Xizhenwu Palace. But just as he was about to go down the mountain, the secretary of the torture room came to the county government and informed Zhao Ran to go to the county government to participate in the trial of Zong Weiwu's remnant case.
.
Zhao Ran was the nominal person in charge of the suppression of Zongjiazhuang. These follow-up actions were his responsibility. He had to go down the mountain anyway, so he just stopped by the county town first.
Zong Weiwu's case was characterized as three major crimes: "Setting up a Taoist altar privately and distorting Taoist scriptures", "Self-proclaiming an immortal sage, confusing the people, and promoting evil theories of the end of the world" and "Privately hiding bows and crossbows, suspected of treason", no matter where
All of them are serious crimes that implicate the nine clans, so there is nothing to try, it is just a matter of sentencing.
The presiding judge is Zhao Ran, Chief Secretary Dong and Wei Jinxian. Zhao Ran represents the Taoist Court, Chief Secretary Dong and Wei Jinxian represent the county government, and Chief Dong is the leader. Guyang County is a Shang County and is not only equipped with county officials.
The order, and there are also a complete set of Zuo Erguan, that is, the county magistrate and the chief registrar. Zuo Erguan has nothing to do on weekdays, because everything is directly presided over by the county magistrate, but after all, these two official positions are officially appointed by the imperial court.
, when the county magistrate is unable to come forward and entrusts the principal with something, his status is quite high, and his words are also very weighty.
Zhao Ran met Mr. Dong two years ago, but at that time, Zhao Ran was just a junior brother in the scripture hall. He accompanied Jiang Gaogong at that time to set up a fasting ritual altar for Mr. Dong to congratulate Mr. Dong on his move. He was considered unworthy in front of Mr. Dong.
He was a small role on the stage. But today, two years later, he can already sit across from Master Dong, and they are evenly matched. Thinking about it, it is a bit confusing.
Zhao Ran thought that Mr. Dong probably couldn’t remember him, but he didn’t expect that Mr. Dong would first mention the Zhai Jiao ceremony two years ago, during which he said some very “warm” words, such as how he met at that time.
Zhao Ran felt what he was like, what he would be like in the future, etc. Hearing this, Zhao Ran was very puzzled, but he felt really good about it. In any case, the county clerk has done enough homework to have a good relationship with you.
No matter how you say it, it's quite a face-saving gesture.
The greetings have been completed, Zhao Ran and Master Dong are on the left and right, Jinxian Lieutenant is slightly below, several prison clerks are sitting around on both sides, each has finished the thick ink, and the Yamen servants are divided into two groups to stand.
Everything is ready.
Director Dong glanced at Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran nodded, so Director Dong shouted loudly: "Bring someone to commit the crime!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
