Qi Xuansu took Gao Mingyin away from the Imperial Palace of Taiping Inn with great fanfare. Tianchen Division immediately received the news, and then they realized one thing. There was something wrong with Du Yuyan.
Tianchen Division was originally waiting for Du Yuyan and others to come back and give an explanation, but they waited until dawn and did not see Du Yuyan and others coming back. This made Tianchen Division realize that Du Yuyan was not simply making a mistake, but that something had happened. But it happened.
The life lights of Du Yuyan and others are still bright, not even dim at all, which means that at least their lives are not in danger.
This left the people of Tianchen Division puzzled.
Three people stayed behind in the imperial capital, and four people went out of the city to pursue him. As a result, Qi Xuansu came back in a big way, but the four people never returned, and there was no news. The key is that these four people were not dead.
You must know that capturing four heavenly beings alive is much more difficult than ambushing four heavenly beings. No matter how powerful Qi Xuansu is, he cannot capture four of them.
It cannot be said that they are short-sighted. Everyone knows that fake immortals or immortals can easily deal with several heavenly beings, but no one thinks that Qi Xuansu can ask fake immortals to take action. Yao Pei or Li Changge are almost the same.
For this reason, Tianchen Division held a secret meeting within the company.
"I have tried to contact Du Yuyan and others through the Zimu Talisman, but the contact with the Zimu Talisman has been isolated, which means that Du Yuyan and others should have been trapped somewhere, such as a cave, or a forbidden area protected by a formation.
.But judging from the current situation, their lives are not in danger for the time being." said a director of Tianchen Division.
"I have also sent people to the outside of the city to search within a hundred miles. The results will be available soon." Another Tianchen Division chief added, "But the hope is low, judging from Master Qi's acting style.
Look, he is a thoughtful person and will not leave too many traces for us."
The six principals were sitting together, and Du Yuyan was missing.
The Tianchen Division is a typical low-ranking and powerful person. Its specifications are no different from those of the Supervisory Division and the Daolu Division. The chief officer is a doctor, and there are chiefs under him. This is a low-ranking position. Needless to say, the weight is such as the privilege of beheading first and reporting later.
There are few people who are not afraid of them.
In fact, this is reasonable. In the previous dynasty, the chief eunuch who held the ceremonial seal was only the fifth rank, but he was known as the "inner prime minister" and was feared by everyone. This was a sign of inferiority and power. When the cabinet was first established, if there was no
Other officials, up to and including bachelor's degrees, are only of the fifth rank, which can also be regarded as inferior status and weight in a certain sense.
Daxuan inherited part of the old system of the Wei Dynasty, and graded many temporary official positions without grades into permanent official positions, such as chief military officer, governor, governor, cabinet minister, etc.
Nowadays, among the civil servants, if there is no special promotion, the minister is the first rank, the minister is the second rank, the doctor is the fifth rank, and the chief minister is the fifth rank.
The sixth grade.
Even though Daxuan repeatedly advocated a balance between civil and military affairs, military attachés could serve as generals and prime ministers. But nowadays, civil servants are still more valuable. For example, the chief guard officer is also a second-rank officer, which is far from being comparable to a minister. The reason is simple, and
Regardless of the difference between the center and the localities, there are only twelve ministers in the six departments, but there are far more than twelve general guards. In Shuzhou alone, there are four general guards. Things are rare and valuable.
Tianchen Silangzhong is only a fifth-rank official, but in terms of status and respect, he can be compared with a minister, but slightly inferior to the ceremonial supervisor of the year.
His Majesty the Emperor has also considered this issue and made amends in other aspects.
Daxuan official positions are divided into three types, namely, official officers, casual officers, and honorary officers. Take Du Yuyan as an example, the official officer is the principal, the casual officer is General Zhaoyong, and the honorary officer is the captain of the light car. In this way, she
Her official rank is only the sixth rank, but the casual and honorary officers are all the third rank. In this way, during court meetings, she can also wear the official uniform of the third rank and interact with other third-rank officials on an equal footing.
These chief ministers not only have third-level official status, but also have the cultivation level of gods and humans. They should not be underestimated.
The third principal said: "The matter is already obvious. All the keys lie in Qi Xuansu. Just ask him and you will know."
The fourth officer sneered and said: "It's not that easy. He is a Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine ceremony. Do you know what it means to be a Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine ceremony under the age of thirty? Of course we can kill him secretly.
, in the past so many years, there have been many Taomen Junyan who have died in the process. Unless he has a great family background, otherwise he is dead. A dead person has no value. But on the surface, we can't touch him. He is now
You have made up your mind to hide in the Jade Palace, how can you force your way in to question him? It’s a matter of Taoism’s reputation, and even Taiping Taoism won’t stand on our side.”
The third chief immediately said: "Then let's talk to the Imperial Palace first. If something happens to our people, Palace Master Li will always give an explanation."
"Stupid!" the fifth chief spoke up, "What name did you use to talk to the Imperial Palace? Could it be that our people were chasing and killing the Taoist priest in charge of the Imperial Palace, but in the end the Taoist priest in charge of the Imperial Palace was safe and sound, and our people disappeared instead.
No? The Imperial Palace will not answer you, they will only ask why Tianchensi wanted to hunt down the Taoist priest in charge of the Imperial Palace, what do you say?"
The third principal was a reckless man, his face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.
Yes, why did Tianchensi pursue and kill the Taoist priest in charge of the Imperial Palace? If a person dies and bullies the dead person into not being able to speak, naturally it is easy to say anything and fool him, but the key is that the person is not dead now.
The chief official who spoke first raised his eyebrows and said: "The reason is easy to find. The key is that according to the three people who came back, Master Qi has a 'picture stone' in his hand, which has recorded some evidence that is very unfavorable to us.
If nothing else goes wrong, this 'picture stone' has been placed on Shi Bingyun's desk. If we really want to visit, Palace Master Li will not come forward, only this Master Shi will come forward. When the time comes, she will put the 'picture stone'
Once it is released in public, let alone asking for an explanation, we are afraid that we will have to give an explanation to the Imperial Palace."
The third director was still a little unwilling: "Are we just going to let it go? Those are four heavenly beings. How will we respond when His Majesty asks? I don't take responsibility."
The six principals looked at each other.
If this were an ordinary small family, they could use coercion and inducement, or even kill people to silence them. But if the opponent was the Imperial Palace, it would be a headache, especially for Shi Bingyun, whose senior sister was Master Cihang and had a close relationship with a prince.
There are so many connections, and if she causes trouble, it might actually turn into a lawsuit before the emperor. No matter what His Majesty the Emperor thinks, for the sake of the court's face and the majesty of the law, we must investigate to the end.
This case is not complicated, and there is no mystery. If it is brought to light, it will be easy to find out. By then, no one will be in trouble.
After a long time, the sixth chief, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said: "Now it seems that the offensive and defensive momentum is different. We can no longer think about asking for an explanation, but should consider how to remove ourselves. When the doctor comes back, it will be over."
It’s too late. If you really can’t do it, you can only blame Lao Du. She’s not here anyway. Let the strong man cut off his wrists.” ??
The other five people nodded: "That's all it can do."
"Everyone should speak on the same page and don't let anything slip." Someone suggested.
"I'll go first. We are very shocked that something like this happened."
Another person said: "Tianchen Division is the imperial government office that protects the imperial capital. It has been turned into a tool for individuals to seek personal gain. We are very sad."
Next, the principals spoke in perfect agreement, like a solitaire.
"We are deeply sorry for what happened to the Imperial Palace and express our most sincere apology to the Imperial Palace."
"Du Yuyan committed a heinous crime and was insane. She took advantage of the fact that the doctor was not in the imperial capital to act without authorization. This was not Tianchensi's original intention and has nothing to do with us."
"We didn't know about it
, if you want to know the detailed inside story, the top priority is to find Du Yuyan and let her answer it personally."
"Du Yuyan's life light is still on. She probably knew that the matter was exposed, so she fled in fear of crime."
"We have already started arranging manpower to search, but the main responsibility of Tianchen Division is to protect the imperial city, so we need the cooperation of the local government and Qingluan Guards."
"Of course, we must also take responsibility. As colleagues, we failed to discover and stop it in advance, and we are guilty of negligence."
"Tianchen Division should immediately launch a thorough self-correction and self-examination to clean up the atmosphere and prevent such incidents from happening again."
"Other people involved in the case must be dealt with seriously and an explanation must be given to the court and the Taoist sect."
In a few words, the principals had already adjusted their caliber skillfully.
The second principal said softly: "The next thing is, Wen Weng's side..."
The third principal, who was fierce in temperament, cried out: "Damn it, we hired four heavenly beings for this little thing of his, and there was also a principal among them. How could he stay out of it? We have to tell him that he is responsible for this crime.
, don’t let us Tianchensi bear it alone, we can’t run away from him. If we have to die, let’s all die together. If we have to carry it, let’s all carry it together.”
This time, the other principals did not refute the principal, they all recognized this.
…
The Supervisor Division on the other side was not as gloomy as Tianchen Division. Many of the "captains" in the mouth of the common people were talking about Gao Mingyin's arrest.
Mr. Gao was considered a prominent figure in the Imperial City, but in less than a month, he fell into the hands of others.
Although it cannot be said to have been uprooted, Gao Mingyin's defeat is already obvious.
This shocked many people, and besides being shocked, they couldn't help but be curious.
Because Xu Feiying had contact and cooperation with Master Qi, many colleagues asked Xu Feiying about this aspect.
Xu Feiying could only answer truthfully, feeling equally shocked.
When she took the risk to help Qi Xuansu look for clues about Zhang Fakui, she actually didn't have high hopes. She said she hoped Qi Xuansu could close the case as soon as possible, which was really just a hope. But she didn't expect that Master Qi actually did it and arrested him.
A few days later, Zhang Fakui also took Gao Mingyin away cleanly and without any sloppiness.
Thinking of this, Xu Feiying couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Gao Mingyin is just the beginning, maybe this Master Qi can really bring some new atmosphere?
