These words were very sharp, to the point of being harsh.
Everyone here is experienced, and they don't know that Qi Xuansu is just a pawn, and today's meeting will be a real hand-to-hand encounter.
Li Ruoshui was not in a hurry to speak and kept his expression low.
Many people thought that the real person in charge of the palace was going to be furious, and then Deputy Palace Master Zhang and Deputy Palace Master Shi would also talk.
Just out of the expectation of most people, Li Ruoshui did not speak harshly, but instead raised a somewhat appropriate smile: "The question raised by Deacon Qi is very sharp, and he did not show mercy to me, the real person who knows the situation, but
Let me tell you, this is by no means an embarrassment to me, and it is a very good point. Not only me, but all of you here, every deputy palace master, and even every principal must have the courage to face such problems head-on."
"As the real person in charge of the government, the master of the house, or the real person who knows it, don't I need supervision? Of course I need supervision, not only supervision, but more stringent supervision. The scenery at high places is better, and the burden is heavier.
Important: The promotion of position does not necessarily bring about the improvement of morality and mentality. On the contrary, the higher the status, the more temptations you face. The greater the power, the easier it is to make big mistakes and the greater the harm.
.My power is given by the Taoist sect. As long as the Taoist priest is a Taoist sect, they are qualified and have the power to supervise me. I accept the supervision of everyone calmly."
"Regarding this, the Taoist ancestors have already anticipated this, so in addition to the real person in charge, a chief deputy palace owner and a second deputy palace owner were specially established. Although they are not on the same level as the real person in charge, they are responsible for checks and balances.
Supervise the responsibilities of the real person in charge of the palace. Deputy Palace Master Zhou, Deputy Palace Master Shi, I hope you can fulfill the powers and responsibilities given to you by the Taoist Sect, and shoulder the expectations and trust of the Taoist Sect's ancestors, even if you regard me as your opponent everywhere
There is no problem in taking any action, because only in this way can I be cautious, walking on thin ice, and never forget the sword hanging above my head."
"At the same time, I also hope that our Taoist sect can have more people like Master Qi who dare to speak, speak meaningfully, and not just obey their superiors. The superiors will not engage in one-note speeches, and the peers will not form cliques.
There will be no internal fighting, no infighting, we will advance together and retreat together, and we will become one body.”
After Li Ruoshui finished speaking, he looked around.
All the deputy palace masters nodded in agreement.
Qi Xuansu was stunned for a while and said slowly: "The master's level is still high."
"I have no problem." Qi Xuansu sat back in his seat.
Zhang Yuelu pursed his lips and remained silent.
No one who can reach the level of Shenzhi Zhenren is a good person. Li Ruoshui's
The level of difficulty is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary deputy palace masters.
At this moment, Yao Pei spoke: "I am the assistant manager of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. I came to the Imperial Palace for Chief Qi's case. I shouldn't say much about other matters, but after all, I am one of the members of the five-person team.
First, Palace Master Li just now emphasized again and again that he wants a five-person team to help the Imperial Palace discover and correct mistakes, so I will simply express my views."
"Fu Li Yao, please speak." Li Ruoshui looked at Yao Pei.
Yao Pei was obviously awake at this time, and his usual dullness was gone. A pair of long autumn eyes showed a bit of sharpness: "Qian Xiangyun's defection this time just shows one thing. There are people within us who are forming cliques."
, some people are fighting among themselves, and some are causing trouble. Just as we were about to arrest someone, Qian Xiangyun immediately got the news and ran away. This cannot be wiped away by just a few words of accepting supervision. The impact of this incident is so bad that it not only makes the Imperial Capital
The reputation of the Taoist government has been damaged, and it has given others the excuse to attack the Taoist sect. Jinque has given clear instructions and must investigate thoroughly. If it is just empty talk and talking about morality, then there is no need for us to discuss this matter, right?
?”
The smile on Li Ruoshui's face gradually faded away.
Li Changge, who was sitting next to Yao Pei, raised his eyebrows.
"So what does Yao Fuli think it should be?" Li Ruoshui stared at Yao Pei.
Yao Pei said: "Jinque's order is my opinion. Find those who are directly responsible and punish them severely. The other people involved should also take the blame."
Li Ruoshui's expression finally changed slightly, and then he asked: "Is this what Assistant Yao means? Or is it what Master Donghua means?"
Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "We are talking about business now. There is no master or apprentice, only the chief counselor and the master of Ziweitang. This is not the opinion of any one person, but the decision of Jinque. Li Mansion
As a real person, you should be very clear about it."
Li Changge finally said: "A thorough investigation does not conflict with what Palace Master Li said. It is precisely because some people are fighting among themselves that that's why Palace Master Li wants to advocate not fighting among themselves. When we discuss matters today, of course we must discuss the matter, but not just
Discussing the matter on the matter. A strict investigation into the inside story of Qian Xiangyun's defection is only one. Taking this matter as an opportunity to purge the Imperial Palace is the second. There is no contradiction between the two, so why argue?"
When Li Changge spoke, his tone was gentle, neither high-pitched nor low-pitched, and there was no hint of the yin and yang that the Li family was accustomed to.
Yao Pei lowered his eyes: "Since
Let’s talk about the matter, so I wonder if Brother Li Dao has any advice on how to thoroughly investigate Qian Xiangyun’s defection?”
"I can't talk about high opinions, it's just a superficial and humble opinion." Li Changge smiled slightly, "This case is not complicated. Gao Mingyin was involved, so he was killed and silenced. Whoever benefits the most is Qian Xiangyun.
The person behind Gao Mingyin. So who benefits the most? According to my investigation, behind Gao Mingyin there is also a person named Wen Weng, who is the long history of the King of Liao."
Zhang Yuelu was a little surprised: "Brother Li Dao suspected that the King of Liao was behind the scenes?"
She was not surprised by this inference. As Li Changge said, it was not complicated. She was surprised that Li Changge just implicated the King of Liao. Because the Li family and the King of Liao were allies, wouldn't it be inappropriate to implicat the King of Liao at this time?
Betraying the King of Liao? No matter how you look at it, Li Changge is not such a brainless person. There must be some deep meaning in this.
As expected, Li Changge continued: "I didn't say that. Everything must be based on evidence. The long history of the King of Liao does not represent the King of Liao himself. Even if we really want to doubt the King of Liao, we must first take down this so-called Wen Weng."
.”
Shi Bingyun said: "As far as I know, just three days ago, the long history of the Liao king disappeared. It is said that he returned to his hometown. Even if he did not return to his hometown, he is still a serious official of the court. We cannot arrest and interrogate him at will. Taiping
Tao has always been close to the imperial court, wouldn’t the young imperial master not know that?”
Li Changge said: "This person also ran away? I'm really not sure."
Shi Bingyun sneered: "Whether you know it or not, God knows, and everyone here also knows it."
Li Changge said: "Now is not the time to vent your anger. The top priority is to find this Wen Wen first. He must be seen alive and dead, and his body must be seen before he can talk about anything else."
"What if you can't find it? Do you want to keep looking?" Shi Bingyun said aggressively.
Li Changge pondered for a moment: "How about this? Let's set a deadline, just five days."
Qi Xuansu looked at Li Changge sharply.
His first reaction was that Li Changge was stalling for time, stalling for the Five Elements Mountain matter.
If this guess is true, it means that the Five Elements Mountain side has made great progress, and there is not much time left for them. Because Li Changge only asked for a five-day time limit, to be fair, it is not much, even if there is still more time to follow.
There are other methods, and it won't take more than a month to get the best results.
Qi Xuansu carefully sorted out Gao Mingyin's case again.
The origin of all this is just a coincidence, because of a court case,
The quarrel got bigger and bigger. Both sides felt that they had a chance to win and refused to give in to each other. In the end, they were almost fighting to the death, which led to Wen Weng and others.
This case itself has nothing to do with the Five Elements Mountain, so when did it become related to the Five Elements Mountain?
The only connection between Gao Mingyin and Wuxing Mountain is the King of Liao.
From the beginning to the end, the King of Liao did not show up, made any statement, or even conveyed a word. It was always Shi Wenweng, the head of the palace, who came forward.
I don't know whether it was the King of Liao's instruction or Wen Weng who made his own decision. In the end, two "Inn" assassins and seven officials of the Tianchen Division openly attacked and killed Qi Xuansu.
If Qi Xuansu died and there was no evidence of his death, then that would be fine, but Qi Xuansu did not die.
The situation was completely out of control.
The implications here are too great.
If at other times, a principal is attacked, let alone alive, even if he is dead, it is not impossible to suppress him. The key is at this time, the forces behind Qi Xuansu will definitely add fuel to the flames and make a big fuss.
Once it is revealed, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
Gao Mingyin couldn't bear the responsibility, so he had no choice but to confess Wen Weng.
Wen Weng's public identity is only that of a fifth-rank palace official, and he cannot bear such responsibility. Only the King of Liao has this power. As long as the investigation continues, it will be a matter of time before the King of Liao is involved in the whirlpool.
As a result, Gao Mingyin died. Qian Xiangyun took a huge risk to kill Gao Mingyin, and forcibly cut off the clues regardless of the suspicion that there was no 300 taels of silver in the place.
If you think about it this way, does it mean that the King of Liao cannot be involved now? It may be because of Wuxia's clone, or it may be because he is in a state where he cannot see people.
There is also some evidence that the King of Liao had an old grudge with "Qingshan Shi", but it was not the King of Liao who killed him personally, but someone from the "Inn" who did it in the end.
In other words, the King of Liao is probably in the Five Elements Mountains now.
Li Changge didn't want this case to involve the King of Liao, because once the King of Liao was involved, everything would be hidden. The King of Liao was not a member of a secret society, but a prince. As a result, the Daomen could not find the King of Liao to confront him.
This gave Quanzhen Dao and Zheng an excuse. As long as they could forcibly connect the case of the King of Liao with the Five Elements Mountain, for example, pointing out that the King of Liao was "fearful of crime" and hid in the Five Elements Mountain, then they could legitimately enter the Five Elements Mountain.
That's why Li Changge had to delay and slow down the progress of the investigation.
However, these are Qi Xuansu's speculations and there is no concrete evidence.
