Shen Hao actually came to have a drink with Chen Tianwen because he had something to ask, but he was not in a hurry. He became interested when he heard the other person talking about Guishan Monastery.
"The middle of next month? It's only a few days away. Tell me. Five years ago, I was still running around outside and ignored this matter. What kind of skills do I have?"
Guishan Monastery is located to the north of Licheng, next to Pingjiang City. It was a first-class sect in the Jingji Dynasty. The scale is not small, with thousands of disciples in the sect. They spend most of their time cultivating in the courtyard and it is difficult to see them walking around, and they have little interest in the world. Shen Hao has been on duty in Licheng for eight years. Anyway, he has never met anyone from the inner sect of Guishan Monastery and has not been exposed to any cases about them.
Hiding in the city may be talking about this.
Guishan Monastery opens its gate every five years, and the ceremonial announcement of "recruiting disciples" lasts for ten days. In fact, it is the "enrollment season", but the cycle is a bit long.
Those who want to join Guishan Monastery will come to Licheng half a month in advance or live directly in Pingjiang City to wait.
The last time Guishan Monastery opened its gate, Shen Hao was not even a flag officer. He was busy running cases outside and did not participate in it.
Chen Tianwen thought the wine tasted good, so he took the jug and filled another bowl. This time he didn't take a single sip, he sipped it in small sips, holding the jug in his hand as if he wasn't ready to let go.
"Hmm... nice wine. Can I take a cart back later?"
"One car? I'm dreaming! Two altars at most. We'll get more when the production increases. Hurry up and tell us about the opening of Guishan Monastery."
After hearing this, Chen Tianwen nodded with satisfaction, chirped twice and continued: "You should know the status of Guishan Monastery, so I won't go into details. Their gate is opened to the outside world once every five years, mainly to recruit people. Anyone aged under fifteen and over six years old is within their recruitment scope.
The "Sui Stone" you borrowed from their outer deacon last time is the first step in their recruitment. After passing the age verification of the Sui Stone, you can continue to the steps of looking at qualifications.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with us. What we need to do is maintain order.
Can you imagine the whole Jingxi and even further places bringing their children to participate in the entrance screening of Guishan Seminary? There are hundreds of thousands of people, and most of them are monks, including casual cultivators and cultivators. If there is a slight conflict, it is not an ordinary street fight. If it affects ordinary people, it will be a disaster.
Therefore, according to the rules of previous years, except for those who have missions and those who must stay behind, all the Xuanqing Guards will go to Pingjiang City to maintain order.
In return, Guishan Monastery will select several talented instructors from the Xuanqing Guards. "
Shen Hao leaned forward a little, put down the wine bowl in his hand, and said in surprise: "Guide? Could you teach us some techniques?"
"How do I know this? I've never been chosen."
"Who has been chosen?"
“There hasn’t been one in nearly thirty years.”
Shen Hao: "..." What about playing?
Chen Tianwen was also speechless and explained: "That's the truth. The rules are like this every time, but Guishan Seminary always says that we have no one to cultivate. So what can we do?"
"Aren't these empty words?"
"What's the use of our empty talk? Don't we go to Pingjiang City to maintain order? If there is trouble, we will be unlucky. By the way, this fish is not bad. If there are any more, let's burn another one."
"Aunt Zhang, cook another fish!"
While they continued eating and drinking, they were no longer interested in talking about the affairs of Guishan Monastery, so the conversation naturally turned to the Wen family case. It was Shen Hao who started it first.
"Do you think there will be any changes in Fengri City after this time?"
"Master Jiang?"
"Um."
Chen Tianwen smiled playfully and said, "Is this why you invited me to drink?"
"Just ask if you don't understand, or do you mean you don't know either?"
"Of course I don't know, but the analysis is still fine. First of all, let me state that what I say does not necessarily count!"
"Well, I know, you go ahead."
Chen Tianwen took another sip of wine: "In this matter, we must first see who has the greatest benefit, and then we can get to the bottom of it. Who do you think can get the greatest benefit from this case?"
"Master Jiang?"
"Tsk, tsk, how could it be Mr. Jiang? Going further up, it has to be the commander who benefits the most from Pang Pang. Not only did he open up the situation in one fell swoop, he also gave the Xungui clan and the Xiu clan a big ear. In a short time, the court No one in the army dared to offend Pang Pang Ren. And maybe Pang Pang Ren could take this opportunity to take away the supervisory role from the general army and use the Xuanqing Guard Supervisory Envoy to merge the functions of the supervisory army.
These are all my wild guesses, just listen to them. "
Chen Tianwen paused for a moment and then said: "The biggest advantage was gained by Pang Daren, or rather by the Xuanqing Guard as a whole. Going down the list, there are the people who are responsible for the specific investigation. The first choice is definitely our Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen . Liao Zhenfu will definitely get a lot of benefits, and then counting down is Mr. Jiang. Finally, there is Mr. Tang from our Licheng Guard Station, and finally you and me.
Speaking of which, you see, Mr. Jiang can be considered good if he can get 30% of the credit. In addition to his current position, it is not easy to change. If he is promoted to the fourth level, he will be promoted from the fourth level to the governor. But now there are all the governors from all directions, unless one can be replaced. Do you understand? "
Shen Hao's eyes shone and he lowered his voice: "Commander Jingbei?"
"It's hard to say. This time the Jingbei Army has such a big problem, it will definitely require a major change of blood. It also involves so many supervisory envoys assigned by the Jingbei Town Envoy in the Jingbei Army. After sorting out whether the Jingbei Town Envoy has any Suspected of malfeasance?
Of course, this is my guess, I can only say that it is possible. "Chen Tianwen didn't dare to finish his sentence.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not continue the rest of the conversation. The conversation stopped here, and they picked up the wine bowls and started drinking again.
The alcohol content was not high, almost 30 degrees, but it was already very strong for Chen Tianwen. After drinking more than a kilogram, he felt dizzy and did not dare to drink anymore, so he picked up the tea and ended the drinking party, then sat there for a while. Then he stood up and said goodbye.
Shen Hao walked to the door, turned back to the main room, ordered a bottle of wine and brought it into the study.
Shen Hao recognized some truths in Chen Tianwen's analysis, but did not agree with others.
For example, Liao Chengfeng, the governor of Jingxi Town. Shen Hao has met this man before, and Jiang Cheng also specifically explained his position. He is a conservative old-school man who has no responsibility, no spirit, and is outdated. Even if such a person sits in the position of governor of Jingxi Town, he probably won't get much benefit. Because this is obviously not the case with a huge person who has a clear path.
However, whether Jiang Cheng is qualified for promotion after this incident is very important to Shen Hao. It was precisely because it was too important that he felt uneasy and asked Chen Tianwen, a short and fat man, for advice.
If Jiang Cheng can be promoted and removed, there will be vacancies in Fengri City, and Tang Qingyuan, who has also made great achievements, will have the opportunity to fill them step by step. Only when Tang Qingyuan left Shen Hao, the general bannerman who was trying to get the title of Hundred Households, could he move up a level.
Otherwise, there is no telling whether what awaits him will be a blessing or a curse.
