Pawn Crossing the River

Everything went according to plan and in an orderly manner.

Although it was difficult for Zhang Jucheng to mobilize people from Feng Xiantang, it was not difficult to pay attention to Feng Xiantang's trends.

The key to the next step is to seize the power to handle the case.

Of course, it is not Jiangnan Provincial Government and Fengxian Tang who are competing for the right to handle cases. Such a name is not justified and it is easy to be criticized, but Beichen Hall and Fengxian Tang are competing for the right to handle cases.

This is also due to Taipingdao, or simply to the Li family.

The strength of the Li family is a major feature, which is specifically reflected in three places.

The first is the expansion of the Qizhou Daofu that has been mentioned. They took away an area from the Imperial Palace and Liaodong Daofu, forming a huge territory surrounding the inland sea.

The second is the expansion of the scope of power of Beichen Hall. In terms of the defense of Yujing, it extends its hands to the defense of Xuandu internally and the defense of Kunlun Taoist mansion externally. In terms of power to handle cases, Beichen Hall usurped Feng Xiantang's power and obtained part of Feng Xiantang's power. That's why Beichen Hall was called the Qingluan Guard of the Taoist Sect and believed that its power was too great. This is not a compliment. , is a derogatory meaning.

Nowadays, many cases are jointly handled by Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall. If a secret association is involved, a Tiangang Hall will be added. If a high-quality Taoist priest is involved, a Ziwei Hall will be added.

Therefore, after Feng Xiantang reversed the case and confirmed that Li Mingping was innocent, the next step was to hold accountable the person who made the false accusation. This can be regarded as another case. Not only Feng Xiantang can investigate, but Beichen Tang can also investigate.

Who can represent Beichen Hall?

Of course, it’s the master in charge, Qingwei Zhenren.

However, Master Qingwei is now in charge of the overall situation in Qizhou and cannot escape. Qi Xuansu, the chief, happened to be in Jiangnan, so naturally Qi Xuansu represented Beichen Hall.

Some people may want to say, isn't Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy hall master, mainly responsible for external affairs? Yes, Qi Xuansu is indeed mainly responsible for external affairs, but "mainly responsible" does not mean "only responsible". It just emphasizes that Qi Xuansu's focus is on external affairs, and he can also intervene in other matters. After all, theoretically speaking, he is a member of the hall master's council and the boss of other deputy hall masters. If the master is absent, he, as the chief, is qualified to take over the daily affairs on behalf of the master. Of course, he can intervene in Beichen Hall's handling of cases.

As long as the person falls into Qi Xuansu's hands, Qi Xuansu can slowly pull the ownership of the case-handling power while intensifying the interrogation.

As long as the matter related to the Jiangnan case is found out and the nature changes immediately, Qi Xuansu can legitimately take over the case, personally supervise the case, and ask the local government to cooperate in handling the case.

At this time, Zhang Jucheng's role was revealed. He would use the power of the Taoist government in the name of the real person in charge of the Jiangnan Taoist government to intervene in this matter.

This is also a major advantage of the two, the geographical location and the harmony.

In any case, it is very reasonable that Gu Ying is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Daofu on the territory of Jiangnan Daofu. Even if Master Qingwei asks for someone in person and Zhang Jucheng insists on not giving it, Master Qingwei has no good solution.

After all, both of them are Master Shenzhi, and Master Qingwei has not yet taken the position of Grand Master. Others are afraid of you, Li Qingwei, but Zhang Jucheng is not. You have the Li family and I have the Zhang family; you have the national master and I have the heavenly master; you have Taiping Dao and I have Zhengdao. You are Qi Xuansu's boss, not mine. The Taoist sect does not stipulate that the real person in charge should listen to the real person in charge. If the real person in charge must obey the orders of the real person in charge, then real person Donghua would not have to expend so much effort to bring down Wang Jiaohe.

The key is that it is difficult for Master Qingwei to put too much substantial pressure on Zhang Jucheng, unless he goes to Jinque to discuss it. But wouldn't it be ridiculous to go to Jinque to discuss a small false accusation case? Master Qingwei would not do this.

In this way, the case is in the hands of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng.

This is the reason why Qi Xuansu asked Zhang Jucheng, the "Zhong Kui", to fight ghosts. On his own, he would not be able to withstand the pressure from his superiors if Master Qingwei intervened. But with Zhang Jucheng, it's different.

This was also the reason why many people opposed Qingwei Zhenren's appointment of Qi Xuansu. Everything that brings benefits will inevitably lead to disadvantages. When using Qi Xuansu, it is of course a good idea. Qi Xuansu has done a good job and can stabilize the situation in the New World and relieve the pressure. If Qi Xuansu didn't do a good job, he took advantage of the situation and held him to account, holding back Qi Xuansu's steps, just in time for Li Changge to catch up. It seems like there is nothing wrong with it.

But in the long run, once Qi Xuansu gets a firm foothold, the situation will be like this. Qi Xuansu used the power of the chief to start to restrict Beichen Hall, making Beichen Hall no longer as monolithic as before, but rather a bit of a mutual exchange. .

As long as Master Qingwei is negligent, Qi Xuansu will immediately start to cause trouble. After all, he is the chief, and besides the leader, he is the biggest. Of course Master Qingwei can suppress Qi Xuansu to death, but Master Qingwei is a dignified master, it is impossible Just compete with Qi Xuansu when you have nothing to do, and you can't waste all your energy on Qi Xuansu. There will always be times when you can't take care of him. We can't really give Qi Xuansu

Excluded and marginalized, after all, Qi Xuansu still shoulders the task of Jinque and is responsible for a lot of things.

The best way is to send Qi Xuan Suli out of the country.

But Qi Xuansu didn't make any mistakes and still had achievements. Gifts sent out of the country could only be given out by upgrading one level, and it was unlikely that he would be promoted to the same level, let alone downgraded. The chief of Shangsantang will be promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren again. In the short term, an ordinary real person in charge of the palace is definitely not as powerful as the chief of Beichen Hall, but in the long run, this is a necessary step for Qi Xuansu to go to the palace. After passing this outlet, it is really a fish into the sea, and the future is boundless.

After Qi Xuansu contacted Ye Qingshuang, he and Zhang Jucheng began to plan the next details.

Zhang Jucheng is a powerful real person in charge, and Yao Shu is controlled by others in the Borneo Taoist government. It is not that Yao Shu is too cowardly, nor is it that Yao Shu is too weak, but that the chief and second lieutenants have formed an alliance. There is also a real person in charge who is also standing above him. On the other side of the chief and second seats, he was one against three, with no chance of winning. In today's Jiangnan Daofu, first of all, there is no real person in charge, and secondly, the real person in charge has formed an alliance with the chief, isolating the second, so Zhang Jucheng has great power and no one can control it.

This was also Jin Que's intention. Although the second major Jiangnan case was deceived and Li Tianlan was not held responsible, Jin Que was still dissatisfied. Under the operation of Tianshi, Zhang Jucheng and Lei Xiao were Huan's partner was also to purge Jiangnan Daofu and attack Li Tianlan's faction. Taipingdao is in the wrong on this matter, so it is not appropriate to object too much.

If the blockade of Fenglinzhou had not involved other deputy palace masters, who tended to unite because of their respective interests, Li Tianlan would not have dared to confront Zhang Jucheng directly.

Considering that Li Tianlan has been working in Jiangnan Province for many years and has many eyes and ears, some people may not dare to openly disobey Zhang Jucheng's order for Li Tianlan, but they still have the courage to secretly tip off Li Tianlan. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Zhang Jucheng specially mobilized people from Cihang's lineage and people from Wuzhou to secretly monitor Gu Ying to prevent her from fleeing after hearing the news.

Yes, Zhang Jucheng, the head of Jiangnan Daofu, can transfer people from Wuzhou, but these people are not from Wuzhou Daofu, but his old subordinates in Shangqing Palace, and even people from Dazhen Palace.

If Zhang Jucheng hadn't been lacking in realm cultivation, he would have been Fei Yuan Zhenren's counterpart to the standard Qing Wei Zhenren. Of course, Zhang Jucheng is also Master Feiyuan now, but he cannot compete with Master Qingwei. Instead, Master Cihang will compete with Master Qingwei.

Generally speaking, real people who can have special titles are qualified in order of succession, such as Qi Jiao

This Wan Miao Zhenren and Zhang Jucheng Fei Yuan Zhenren, if something happens to the top three Zhenren, they can still take over. The main reason is that they are of the right age.

Da Zhen people do not have titles because they have passed their age.

This is why the Western Holy See believes that the three "Patriarchs" of the Eastern Holy See have de facto abolished the Eastern Pope, because after the sixth generation of the Grand Patriarch ascends, the election of the seventh generation of the Grand Patriarch can be started in advance, or the election of the Seventh Generation of the Grand Patriarch can be started in advance. The principle of succession was used to elect an acting headmaster, but they did not choose one. Instead, the three of them took turns to govern, becoming what Westerners saw as a three-person parliament. It wasn't until the three people's time in the world was running out that the election of the seventh generation of great masters began.

His heart can be punished, his heart can be punished!

Of course, in the perception of Taoist people, the Great Master has not been abolished. The rotating Great Master is the acting Headmaster. However, the three masters are a bit secretive. In essence, they are the rotating acting Master. They insist on being called the rotating Great Master. Zhenren, those who didn’t know thought that the three of them took turns to be Zhenren Pingzhang.

Getting back to the topic, the current situation is that Zhang Jucheng is fully prepared and can capture Gu Ying immediately with just one order.

Leaving Lei Xiaohuan to do such a small thing as sealing Fenglinzhou, Zhang Jucheng wanted to put all his energy into internal fighting.

This spirit that a qualified Taoist priest should have is also the glorious tradition of all dynasties in the Central Plains.

Zhang Jucheng also prepared the location for the secret interrogation. It was not Zhenwu Temple. He could not burn Zhenwu Temple again. Moreover, Zhenwu Temple was where the Xidaomen mission was stationed, so it was not easy to mix them together.

So Zhang Jucheng chose Putuo Island.

Where is Putuo Island? Although it is not as good as the three Taoist holy places of Yunjin Mountain, Penglai Island, and Difei Mountain, it should not be underestimated. It is the foundation of Cihang's lineage, passed down from generation to generation, just above the South China Sea.

This place is the base camp of Master Cihang. Naturally, it is run by Master Cihang like an iron barrel. A needle cannot be inserted and water cannot be poured in. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of the reality inside, let alone put their hands in.

Zhang Jucheng specially borrowed a place on Putuo Island from Master Cihang to detain prisoners. No matter how arrogant Li Tianlan and others are, they would not dare to openly attack Putuo Island. It can be said that they are foolproof.

Now, let's wait for Feng Xiantang to turn over Li Ping's case and give them a reasonable reason to take action.

According to the news from Ye Qingshuang, Feng Xiantang directly opened an ultra-long-distance "Yin Yang Gate" and took the person away.
