Du Yuyan had a good idea. She left three people behind to guard one direction except for the direction of the imperial city. She led the three people in hot pursuit. Even if she couldn't catch up with Qi Xuansu, it was impossible to lose her. In her opinion,
, Qi Xuansu went around seven times and eight times, and finally had to return to Xuan Shang Beifang. No matter which direction, there would be one of his own people. Even if this one of his own people was not Qi Xuansu's opponent, as long as they could stand in the way, the four people following them would
They will immediately follow up and form an encirclement.
But Du Yuyan never expected that the four of them would fall into Qi Xuansu's hands.
Without the four pursuers behind him, it would be much easier for Qi Xuansu to return to Xuan Shang Beifang. When he was being chased, he didn't have time to change his appearance. Naturally, he would be recognized by the people standing guard, but at this moment he
He can change his appearance and appearance calmly, and return to Xuan Shang Beifang from under the eyes of those who are squatting in a swaggering manner.
As for the Tianchen Division, since the life lamps of Du Yuyan and the seven people have not been extinguished, it has only been a day. If they are still playing cat and mouse with Qi Xuansu, it would not be surprising if it takes another three or five days.
After Qi Xuansu returned to Xuanshang Beifang, he naturally made arrangements calmly and had a deep talk with his boss Shi Bingyun. He mainly asked Shi Bingyun to help him clean up the mess and also gave Shi Bingyun solid information. After all, he had already known about the three major evil objects.
Just explain to Zhang Yuelu that Yao Pei also knows about it, and it doesn't matter if there is another Shi Bingyun.
Shi Bingyun didn't mind this. She had long disliked Tianchensi, so she just took this opportunity to kill their majesty. And who is Shi Bingyun? She has never been afraid of anything, even though she is just an ordinary real person.
, but from the three deputy headmasters to the juniors like Zhang Yuelu, everyone knows about her.
Not to mention her senior sister, Master Cihang, Master Donghua, who has always been dignified and dignified and is considered to be the most similar to the Five Dynasties Grand Master, couldn't help but have a headache when he saw her. First of all, they are all disciples of the same generation and are about the same age.
, after so many years of friendship, they have been colleagues and classmates, which is almost the same as when they were young. Secondly, Shi Bingyun doesn't even care about the position of Master Cihang. No matter what rank, position or future you get, she can't be scared.
, she is even more bachelor than the little bachelor Qiniang calls her, so she can’t really use weapons. Thirdly, Shi Bingyun’s character is fierce and bold, and he also has a crazy energy passed down from his mother’s womb. A child who can cry will be fed by milk.
. ??
This is why the Imperial Capital Taoist Office unanimously decided that she would be the representative to negotiate with Ziweitang. Of course, if this is done, Shi Bingyun's voice in the Imperial Capital Taoist Office will be more important.
Going to court with Tianchen Division is like going to Ziweitang to ask for someone. If Shi Bingyun comes forward, it will be more effective than if the real person in charge, Li Ruoshui, comes forward.
After making these preparations, Qi Xuansu decided to close the net.
He asked Gao Shide to be brought
Come, I want to send Gao Shide back in person.
These days, Gao Shide has been isolated from the outside world and has no idea what is going on. Seeing that he has been humiliated in various ways, he thinks that his father is no match for Master Qi, and he is full of despair. Today he suddenly learned that,
Master Qi wanted to send him back in person, but when his father finally used his means to capture Master Qi, the suppressed arrogance in his heart surged up again, and he wanted to have an attack.
But when he met Qi Xuansu, he saw that Master Qi did not have any fear, but was in a relaxed mood. He probably understood that his father failed to persuade this person, and most likely reached a reconciliation with him through various channels.
This person extorted a sum of peace money.
In this way, Master Qi also has a great background and support, which should not be underestimated. However, after this incident, he may have turned an enemy into a friend, and he will call this person uncle in the future - even if the two are about the same age.
So Gao Yanei suppressed his anger again, behaved and acted honestly.
Then Qi Xuansu asked people to put Gao Yanei on the carriage, ordered two hundred spiritual officials, and headed straight to Xuanzhen Nanfang.
When Tianchensi saw such a formation, they just thought it was some deputy palace master who was traveling. Apart from secretly cursing a few times about the grand pomp, they didn't pay much attention to it. Little did they know that Qi Xuansu, whom they were looking for so hard, was in the carriage guarded by Lingguan.
middle.
There was no news from Tianchen Division, and there was no news from Gao Mingyin. Naturally, he was shocked and almost confused by Qi Xuansu's sudden "visit".
However, after all, Gao Mingyin was a man who had experienced hardships for a long time. He quickly calmed down and forced out a smile: "I never expected that Master Qi would come in person. Gao was so flattered that he invited Master Qi to sit down."
"I have official business today, so I won't be here." Qi Xuansu's answer was very cliched and not very angry. There was no indication that he was being hunted not long ago. Gao Mingyin could not be considered the mastermind behind the scenes, but he was also the number one suspect.
Already.
Qi Xuansu ordered again: "Go and invite Mr. Gao to come up."
Soon, two spiritual officials "surrounded" Gao Shide to the banquet hall on the second floor.
To be fair, during this period of time, except for Qi Xuansu who slapped him, no one else touched him. In the past three days, he was mainly suffering from the cold, but he already had some cultivation and had been taking "
"Five Stone Powder", the cold and heat do not invade, it is not really a suffering, the main thing is that it means more humiliation.
So at first glance, apart from being a little depressed, Gao Yanei was otherwise fine.
Qi Xuansu signaled to Gao Shide that he could leave.
Gao Shide had already concluded that the two parties had reached a settlement, and he had not seen the previous scene where Gao Mingyin had lost his composure. By the time he came up, Gao Mingyin had already regained his composure, so he walked directly towards Gao Mingyin without thinking too much.
Qi Xuansu looked around again, but no one dared to look at him.
In terms of identity, a Taoist leader does not have such great prestige. He is actually the shadow of a famous tree. Although everyone has not experienced Master Qi's methods personally, they have all seen it. Several deputy palace masters have seen it.
He is not as domineering as him, and he really cannot be provoked.
Qi Xuansu just stood at the entrance of the stairs, neither taking the seat nor intending to leave. It was Qi Xuansu who should have been embarrassed, but Qi Xuansu didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, so it was the others who were embarrassed. And Qi Xuansu was just standing like this
, it’s not easy for others to sit down either.
So everyone in the banquet hall stood like this, which was extremely strange.
After a moment, Qi Xuansu said: "As I said just now, I actually have official duties when I come here this time. In addition to sending Mr. Gao back, I just want to..."
Having said this, Qi Xuansu paused deliberately.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath and looked at Qi Xuansu, waiting for his explanation.
Qi Xuansu then said: "I just want to invite Mr. Gao to go to the Jade Palace in Xuan Shang Beifang."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
This is the arrest!
The whole scene was a mess, and the dignitaries of the imperial capital, who usually have a lot of power, immediately showed various expressions in the world, with different expressions, some were angry, some were sad, some were gloating, some were sad, and some were solemn.
Some looked frightened, while others looked happy.
On the contrary, Gao Mingyin had expected it and was not too surprised.
After all, he is already planning to kill someone, and the Imperial Palace will not let him go either due to emotion or reason.
At this moment, Lord Tongzhi of Shuntian Mansion said in a deep voice: "The Taoist sect does not govern civil affairs. Mr. Gao is not a cult demon, nor is he a registered member of the three religions. Even if there is any lawsuit, I, Shuntian Mansion, should handle it.
Instead of following Master Qi on a journey."
The so-called Tongzhi is probably the "Deputy Magistrate", which is considered the second-ranking figure in the yamen, higher than the No. 3 figure, Tong Mian, and lower than the No. 1 figure, the Magistrate.
this
Master Tongzhi of Shuntian Prefecture has gray hair on his temples. He looks at the age of Youzhi Destiny. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He has a straight face and three long beards. He acts and speaks calmly. In the words of the common people, he is very "official".
”.
Qi Xuansu can teach "Da Xuan Lv" openly, so naturally these old officials can also do it, and they are more proficient than Qi Xuansu.
However, Qi Xuansu was well prepared and took out a file that had just been compiled into a volume and said: "If it is an ordinary civil lawsuit, of course our Taoist sect will not intervene, but when it involves Taoist priests and secret societies, our Imperial Palace Taoist Office must intervene.
, but Shuntian Mansion has no right to interfere."
When I heard this, my heart sank immediately.
Qi Xuansu handed the file in his hand to Ke Qingqing beside him.
Ke Qingqing understood the idea, opened the file in his hand, and said loudly: "Gao Mingyin was suspected of hiring the 'Inn' murderer Zhang Fakui to murder Wu Si, a hundred households in the Qingluan Guards, and failed to murder Song San, a hundred households in the Qingluan Guards. Although these two people are
He is an official of Qingluan Guard, but he is also a believer of our Imperial Palace. Because of his meritorious service, he reported to Deputy Palace Master Shi, and with the approval of Deputy Palace Master Shi, he was granted the title of "Ninth Grade Taoist Priest". Now Wu Si is killed, Song San
The near-missing death and the involvement of the secret association 'Inn' are all within the scope of the responsibilities of our Imperial Palace. Other idlers are not allowed to interfere. If they obstruct the handling of the case, they will be treated as accomplices."
Ke Qingqing took out another warrant and looked at Gao Mingyin: "This is an arrest order personally signed by the deputy head of the Imperial Palace. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation. If you have any objections, you can
Submit a complaint to the Imperial Palace within three days."
Speaking of this, she glanced at the Tongzhi master again: "If other government agencies think that the Imperial Palace has overstepped its authority and crossed the line, they can also report it to the Daolu Department of the Ministry of Rites, who will inform the temple and hand it over.
It will be reviewed by Jinque."
Jinque, as the highest authority of the Taoist sect, not only has only thirty-six Master Shenzhi, after all, all of them are in high positions and hold important positions. It is impossible for them to sit in Jinque and talk about Taoism every day, so there are many other Masters under it.
As well as the Taoist priests who do specific work, the lowest is the Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine ceremony. They are responsible for many insignificant deliberation matters. Only for matters such as the Jiangnan case, Jinque will organize the counselors to hold small deliberations according to different situations.
Discuss, discuss.
Lord Tongzhi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "In that case, I have nothing to say."
Ke Qingqing looked at the silent Gao Mingyin again: "The murderer Zhang Fakui has been captured. He confessed to his crime and signed his confession. He also found a copy of the 'inn' document. It was your housekeeper who hired him."
It’s fierce, the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else can you say?”
