Master Qingwei added, "Actually, Deputy Hall Master Zhang is more suitable for this kind of matter. After all, she once served in Beichen Hall, handled several major cases, and made great contributions. But this matter is related to Zhengyi, and she is a descendant of the Zhang family.
, and you are from Cihang's lineage, so you should avoid suspicion. Tianyuan, you are from Quanzhen Tao, so you must deal with it impartially and don't leave any excuses. According to discipline, don't inform Deputy Hall Master Zhang for the time being."
Qi Xuansu solemnly replied, "Yes."
To arrest people and handle cases, the first prerequisite is to have people. Qi Xuansu cannot arrest people alone.
Qi Xuansu asked Master Qingwei for several people, including Han Yongfeng, the director of Liaodong Daofu, Li Mingshan, the director of the Ancestral Hall, Lu Yuting, the director of Huasheng Hall, Tang Yongshui, the director of Tianji Hall, and Qian Daren, the director of Tiangang Hall.
Logically speaking, these people are not from Beichen Hall or Fengxian Hall, so they are not very suitable. However, there are two Taiping Dao candidates who are reliable enough, so Master Qingwei still agreed and specially approved two hundred spirits.
official.
Qi Xuansu left the big tent with the order and files from Master Qingwei, and sent someone to summon several principals to prepare for a night discussion.
Several people were setting up camp and soon arrived.
Since we are all old acquaintances who have shared weal and woe, we save the time of introducing each other.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Han Yongfeng said in a loud voice.
Lu Yuting had an intellectual temperament. She glanced at Han Yongfeng and said nothing.
Qian Daren said, "I heard that we are all placed under the command of Deputy Hall Master Qi."
"That's right." Li Mingshan said in a suppressed voice, "It is said that the master of the army personally ordered the order. I don't know what the big deal is."
"But having said that, Deputy Hall Master Qi really has no time to spare. He just escorted the regent Guan Bai to the camp, and was assigned another errand. He didn't even have time to take a breath. If I were Vice Hall Master Qi, I would
I can't stand it." Tang Yongshui said while wiping his gun.
Lu Yuting narrowed her eyes and finally said, "Why don't you say that Deputy Hall Master Qi is very promising at a young age? I would say, it's better to be busy. The busier you are now, the more credit you will get in the future. When we reward you based on your merits, maybe
You can go one step further.”
"Go one step further?" Han Yongfeng's eyes widened, "If you go further, you will reach the level of a real person."
Just as Lu Yuting was about to speak, Qi Xuansu lifted the curtain and walked in.
The tent instantly became quiet, and everyone stood up at the same time to salute, "Qi, Deputy Hall Master."
"No need to be polite, sit down." Qi Xuansu came to the main seat in the middle and raised his hand to press down. There was also a third-grade spiritual officer beside him.
Qi Xuansu motioned for the spiritual officer to take a seat, and then handed the file to Lu Yuting on his left: "Mr. Lu, please circulate it."
"
Yes." Lu Yuting took the file and opened it first, her face suddenly solemn.
But she didn't say anything. After reading it, she handed the file to Han Yongfeng beside her and circulated it in turn.
After everyone had read it, the file was passed back to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu closed the file and looked around at everyone, "Corruption and smuggling are related to military supplies. We are here as representatives to arrest the people involved in the case. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Lu Yuting said, "Deputy Hall Master Qi, even if it involves Xingying, Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall should take action on this matter."
Qi Xuansu explained, "The main reason is the lack of manpower. We are the people who have been transferred to assist in handling the case. Of course, the main thing is for me to determine the candidates and finally submit them to the real person in charge for approval."
Han Yongfeng said, "Deputy Hall Master, to be honest, I, Old Han, have been working in the local area for a long time and have done nothing. This kind of thing is no stranger to me. Old Qian is probably doing this kind of work in Tiangang Hall. Several other Taoists have done this kind of work."
Friends, those who are involved in firearms, creation, and etiquette, I guess they have never done the job of arresting people."
Qi Xuansu said, "It doesn't matter, just follow my instructions. Starting from scratch always requires a process. Everything is difficult at the beginning. No one is born with everything."
Li Mingshan asked, "Deputy Hall Master Qi, I have a question. We are asked to arrest and investigate. Should we first investigate the situation and then arrest? Or should we arrest first and then investigate in detail?"
Qi Xuansu said seriously, "Fengxiantang and Beichentang have obtained conclusive evidence, so this time we will arrest the relevant people first, and then further dig out the relevant information through interrogation, assist Beichentang and Fengxiantang to achieve a breakthrough, and finally convict.
"
"I understand." Li Mingshan nodded.
Qi Xuansu looked around at everyone again, "Do you still have any questions?"
No one spoke.
"There is no doubt about it. Next, I would like to emphasize three points of attention." Qi Xuansu said, "First, during the handling of this case, no one is allowed to use the son-mother talisman, the 'communication talisman array', the urn, etc.
Anyone who discloses relevant information, whether intentionally or accidentally, will be severely punished once discovered. Secondly, we must ensure the safety of the people involved, strictly prevent silence, suicide and other behaviors, and ensure that the person responsible is responsible. If due to dereliction of duty, resulting in the death of those involved in the case,
If someone dies unexpectedly, those responsible will be severely punished. Thirdly, during the interrogation, pay attention to the isolation between the inside and outside, and do not let anyone from outside speak in, so as not to cause the person involved in the case to retract his confession or not cooperate, or even commit suicide."
Everyone responded in unison.
Qi Xuansu opened his pocket watch and took a look, "Now is the beginning of the Chou period. Let's discuss and improve the specific processes and measures in detail to see if there are any omissions. We will set off immediately after half an hour."
Half an hour later, a flying boat secretly set sail from the camp and headed to an important port about three hundred miles away from Xiujing's camp. Two flying boats from Jiangnan Province responsible for transporting military supplies were parked here for rest.
At this time, the "Yin-Yang Mirror" had been installed on the flying boat, and soon the "Yin-Yang Mirror" was connected. On the other side was the spiritual officer responsible for port defense, "Inform the deputy hall master Qi that the flying boat numbered 'Jiangnan Jiasan' wants to forcefully
Take off, the port cannot stop it, please give instructions, Deputy Hall Master Qi."
"Very well-informed news." Qi Xuansu didn't think it was his side that leaked the news, because this case was huge, from the time when the woman surnamed Su reported Zhang Guquan with her real name, to the transfer of the case to Xingying, and then to the real person Qingwei
There are countless links in the process of ordering people to be arrested, and there is a possibility of leaking information. It is reasonable for these people to hear some rumors.
After Qi Xuansu thought for a while, he ordered, "You must take measures immediately to ensure that the other airship will not escape. As for the 'Jiangnan Jiasan' that was forced to take off, leave it to me to deal with it."
"Yes." Lingguan responded.
Qi Xuansu ended the "Mother and Son Mirror" conversation and immediately ordered, "Speed up!"
Han Yongfeng loudly accepted the order.
The flying boat suddenly accelerated.
It is also a flying boat, with three models, each with three functions.
The first type carries people, called "White Carp", which is the type Qi Xuansu was riding when he crashed twice. The second type is for transporting cargo, called "Huang Chi". The third type is for escort and combat,
Those who transport troops are called "purple dragons".
The three structures are different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The "White Carp" can carry the most people, is bulky, and is the slowest. The "Huang Chi" has the largest carrying capacity and is slower. The "Purple Jiao" can carry the least people, carries weapons, and is the slowest.
Fastest.
The two resting flying boats were both "Huang Chi", while the flying boat Qi Xuansu was riding was a "Purple Dragon". He soon caught up with the fleeing "Huang Chi".
Qi Xuansu ordered, "Shout to 'Huang Chi' and land immediately and wait for disposal."
The spirit officer activated the "sound transmission array" on the flying boat and shouted to the "Huang Chi" in front, "Camping order, the 'Huang Chi' ahead will land immediately and wait for disposal. Land immediately and wait for disposal."
"Land immediately and wait for disposal."
"Land immediately and wait for disposal."
"Land immediately and wait for disposal."
"Huang Chi" did not respond.
Qi Xuansu came to the "sound transmission array" and shouted personally, "I am Qi Xuansu of Ziweitang. I am investigating smuggling matters under the orders of the real person in charge of the army. I can tell you clearly now that the people behind you are using you to make a fortune."
We are all in danger. No one can save you now. You are the only one who can save you. In this major smuggling case, you are just an accomplice. As long as you land immediately, wait for disposal, tell the truth, and identify the culprit behind the scenes, you can start from
You will be given a lenient sentence. I repeat, you will land immediately and wait for handling. If you tell the truth, you can be given a lenient sentence."
"Huang Chi" is still determined to have his own way.
Tang Yongshui came from Tianji Hall and was most familiar with Feizhou's various artillery. He immediately asked for instructions, "Deputy Hall Master, do you want to use artillery to shoot it down?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "It must be captured alive. If it is shot down, not to mention the loss of the flying boat, the people on the flying boat will be in danger. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, there is a vast ocean below, and search and rescue will be a big problem."
problem."
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, you are responsible for steering the ship, get close to the 'Huang Chi' and join the side. I will try to board the 'Huang Chi' myself."
Lu Yuting hesitated for a moment and then said, "Deputy Hall Master, be very careful. Even if you let them escape, you must put your own safety first."
"I understand." Qi Xuansu walked straight out of the bridge and onto the deck outside.
Because the "Purple Dragon" was flying at full speed, the strong wind was enough to blow people away. Even Qi Xuansu, although he would not be blown away by the strong wind, his clothes were still blown by the strong wind.
Because the flying speed of the "Purple Dragon" is much faster than that of the celestial beings in the carefree stage, if Qi Xuansu leaves the airship, he will soon be left behind. That's why Qi Xuansu ordered the "Purple Dragon" to fly alongside the "Huang Chi". To put it bluntly,
It is boarding combat, an ancient method of naval warfare. Use the side of your own ship to approach the side of the enemy's ship, and then rush up to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But this time only Qi Xuansu jumped up.
"Purple Jiao" gradually caught up with "Huang Chi", then the hull of the ship deflected and crashed into the hull of "Huang Chi". As a warship, "Purple Jiao" was equipped with armor, so "Purple Jiao" was unscathed.
"Huang Chi" was shocked.
The two airships were traveling side by side, the sides of the ships were connected, and Qi Xuansu strode across the side of the ship to the deck of "Huang Chi".
Because this is a spaceship that mainly transports cargo, it is not equipped with many firearms and does not pose a great threat to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu ignored the fierce wind and walked straight to the bridge.
