Of course, Xuande was not the Great Master of Qingtian. Ma Weisan knew clearly that Xuande's motivation for joining the sect was no different from his. [No pop-up novel website] The higher you get to the upper level, the weaker your faith becomes and the more interests you consider. This is a tacit understanding among the top management.
Hearing that Ma Weisan was very "informed", Xuan was quite satisfied. But the Yizhou incident has caused shock within the general forum, and it cannot be ignored. Moreover, the two silver coins that can be enshrined in Yizhou every year are a huge financial resource within the sect. Once lost, it will have a great impact on the entire sect. Various folk sects in Shandong province compete fiercely with each other. Only with land can they have financial resources. With financial resources In order to expand the territory, the two complement each other.
On the way to Yizhou, Xuande had already considered the plan over and over again. Getting rid of Ma Weisan is an option, but the situation in Yizhou is unstable now, and he has to use Ma Weisan's power. After all, the Yizhou area is his basic base. It has been in business for many years and is deeply rooted. If you really want to jump over the wall in a hurry, you can just vote for Taoist Zhang directly, and it will become difficult to deal with.
A fleeting smile appeared on his face. Ma Weisan quickly caught the smile and immediately became energetic. He quickly added: "The Dharma Master is coming to Yizhou this time. If there is a place where the disciple's service is needed, the disciple will definitely respond."
"You finally have some self-awareness." Xuande sneered and stood up, "It's okay for me to tell you: the incident in Yizhou has alarmed the leader and the main altar saint. How should you deal with it?"
"Yes, yes, for alarming the master, the disciple deserves death!" Ma Weisan heard that he had alarmed the leader and the saint, and fear once again enveloped his body and mind - it is said that the saint can use her soul to conquer ghosts. It can also steal people's souls and drive living people like puppets. There are many horrific legends.
His legs gave way and he immediately fell to his knees, "Disciple is willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"
Finally, Ma Weisan agreed to "offer" an additional 10,000 taels of incense to the main altar. Xuande saw that he was quite knowledgeable, and that the ten thousand taels he offered as an offering back to the main altar was considered an explanation, so he relaxed his tone and said, "Since you are sincere, I will give you a way to go."
Ma Weishan was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Dharma Master, for your great kindness."
"You don't need to thank me." Xuan De said coldly, "You have to fight for life and death, honor and disgrace on your own. Otherwise, even I can't save you."
"Yes, yes, this disciple will definitely do his best!"
"You get up first." Xuande said, "Honestly, what is the situation in Yizhou now? Don't hide it!"
Ma Weisan immediately explained the current situation in Yizhou, and asked someone to fetch the directory of Yizhou Xiangtang. With a pen, he listed the Xiangtangs that he could still control, the Xiangtangs that had rebelled, and the Xiangtangs with unclear attitudes. Outline.
Roughly less than one-third are completely rebellious.
Xuande felt that there was still something to be done about this matter.
"What a waste." He secretly despised Ma Weisan. Instead of using these resources, he hid like a tortoise. No matter how powerful this Taoist priest is, he is just alone.
Yizhou should be replaced by a capable and reliable person in charge of the division in the future.
But how to deal with it, he has to discuss it with other people. The people who come with him this time are all the backbone of the general altar, and they must be given enough respect. However, this is purely polite. Hu Qier's failure this time made him feel secretly happy. Her master came with him this time to get the Holy Maiden of the Inner Law Hall.
How to deal with Hu Qi'er was within his authority, and he had grasped this lifeline. He was not afraid that this arrogant woman would surrender and no longer dare to go against him all the time. Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he ordered his men: "Take the criminal Hu Qi'er to the torture room in the backyard. I will interrogate him at night!"
Ma Weisan's study in the main courtyard of the branch is his important place of confidentiality. It not only stores a large amount of confidential information and documents from all aspects of the branch, but is also decorated with luxury and comfort.
Now this place has become Xuande's place to stay. After Ma Weisan donated the money, he very wisely sent a message to his steward, asking the steward to send two maids with beautiful appearance and graceful figure to serve as Xuande.
Although Xuande usually has high power and position, he has to restrain himself in his actions when he is in the main forum. Now that we have arrived at the local level, some people are flattering and enjoying themselves happily.
That day, while drinking and having fun with the two girls, suddenly there was a noise outside the door. It seemed that someone was trying to break into the study and was arguing with the people on guard outside. Xuan De seemed to have expected it and waved his hand to let the maids avoid it.
With a bang, the door was knocked open. A woman in her thirties barged in aggressively. It was Luo Saichun, the saint of the Inner Law Hall who had gone with him to Yizhou to clean up the mess.
Xuan De smiled: "It turns out to be Saint Luo. I wonder why you are so anxious to see me?"
Luo Saichun smiled coldly and waved his hand back: "You all step back, I have a few words to say to the Dharma Master."
Xuande looked at the people who came behind him and nodded calmly: "Okay, you guys, step aside first!" and sat down. "He greeted Luo Saichun.
"No need." Luo Saichun said coldly, "Have you already interrogated Ma Weisan and Hu Qier?"
"Yes, I asked them a few questions." Xuan De readily admitted, "Why, I can't ask them?"
"You are the master of the inner hall, and this is within your authority," Luo Saichun said, "Why did you torture Hu Qier indiscriminately, and why did you detain her in the torture hall and torture her? Isn't she still facing the wall? Do you want to treat the sinful body?"
"She has committed such a serious crime, and being held in the execution hall and being whipped a few times is already a very light punishment," Xuande sneered, "Saint Girl Luo, I know you are eager to protect your disciples, but don't forget, She missed the opportunity to do something and escaped from the battle. In terms of crime, it is not an exaggeration for me to open an incense hall and burn her with fire from the sky. I am already showing off for your sake."
Luo Saichun obviously didn't buy the threat in his words. He frowned and said: "Missing the chance to do something, running away from the battle. Not to mention whether you have any evidence, Ma Weisan, as the leader of the division altar, divided Yizhou into If the altar falls apart, shouldn't he be punished by being struck down by heaven and burned with fire?"
"I know better than you what crime Master Ma Tan deserves." Xuande said, "However, to clean up the situation in Yizhou now, I must rely on him, and it is not too much to treat him a little preferentially. Don't Forgot, when we set off, the chief altar master allowed me to do things expediently, so do you want to despise the chief altar master's order?"
"You are talking nonsense, don't take the order of the chief altar leader to suppress me!" Luo Saichun was a prostitute in the Jianghu, with a straightforward character, "You have already fallen in love with Hu Qi'er, and you have repeatedly molested her, but this time it is just a blackmail. You want revenge! You despicable and shameless villain!"
"Nonsense!" Xuan De slammed the table, stood up, and said proudly: "I am a good man who is upright and upright, and his actions are worthy of the sun and the moon. It is not the turn of a woman like you, who comes from a humble background, to talk nonsense. Eight ways!"
Luo Saichun used to be a female prostitute who worked as a prostitute. Even in a sect where the lower classes were the main members, she had a very low background, and she was despised by others every day. Later, she climbed up to a high position in the church step by step, but she was still despised behind her back.
Xuande's words immediately made her tremble with anger, but Xuande was superior to her in terms of teaching rank and martial arts. Although the saints in the sect have a prominent position and are highly respected among ordinary believers, they actually have no real power among the higher-ups of the sect.
If a conflict really breaks out, both sides will lose, but the damage she will suffer is far greater than what she declared. Not only will it not help the situation, but it will make it even more difficult for Hu Qier, who is already in dire straits, to escape from the sea of misery.
Thinking of this, Luo Saichun forced himself to calm down: "Okay, what do you want?"
"Saint Luo, I think you should at least know a little bit about the superiority and inferiority, so that we can talk about things." Xuande said with a cruel smile, "Otherwise, I have nothing to talk about with you."
Luo Saichun deserved to swallow his anger and said: "Okay, please tell me, Master, what exactly do you plan to do?"
"That's pretty much it." Xuande didn't want to humiliate her too much. After all, Luo Saichun was one of the middle and senior members of the sect.
"Saint Girl Luo," he said slowly, "Hu Qier's matter can be big or small. It all depends on you as the master."
"You tell me. But if it's about her reputation and integrity, don't expect me to help others do evil!" Luo Saichun gritted his teeth, "I would rather she die cleanly."
"Hmph, what do you think of me?" Xuan De sneered, "I still don't care about these skins." He continued: "You just need to remember to be careful with your words from now on."
Luo Saichun understood that this old man probably had some shady activities. She is a very smart woman, and she guessed at a glance that the Yizhou branch and the property declaration of the Ma family must have been involved with evil intentions. He used Hu Qier again to threaten him to keep silent.
"Okay, I promise you that." She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, "But Hu Qier must be released immediately!"
In the next few days, Xuande released Hu Qier and Ma Weisan as expected, and ordered them to admit their mistakes in the Xiangtang and "wait for their crimes."
Xuande's plan was successful and he already had an idea of how to deal with the situation in Yizhou, so he immediately proposed his own solution.
First of all, all the incense halls, whether they have rebelled or are on the sidelines, issue the main altar dharma stickers, announce that the people coming from the main altar will choose a day to open the incense hall, and order all the local incense masters, incense makers, and incense heads to attend the opening. Ceremony to declare the power of our religion.
As long as they are willing to come, they will all agree to "let bygones be bygones." If you don't want to go, just "implement the law" and execute a few chickens to scare the monkeys. With Ma Weisan's local power and the strength of the envoys sent by the main altar, Xuande believed that it would not be difficult to force most of the backbone of the local branch to attend the ceremony. As for those rebellious Xiangtangs, even if they refuse to come, they will definitely become panic-stricken. ! .
