Before Qin Shaoyou could answer, Lu Bing nodded again and said to himself:
"You have a close relationship with the people at Jade Emperor Temple, and it makes sense to know Zhang Wuzhen. And Master Suquan also has a close relationship with the Demon Division of Luocheng Town..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He raised his hands and said, "May I ask the commander, what happened to Master Zhang and Master Suquan?"
"You are quite smart."
Lu Bing glanced at Qin Shaoyou and told what happened to Master Zhang and Master Suquan in the capital:
"They contacted eminent monks in the capital and wanted to advise His Majesty not to be obsessed with cultivating immortals at the Dharma gathering prepared by His Majesty, but to put people's livelihood and national affairs first.
However, due to the Qingtang bandits, the Dharma meeting was postponed, so they found Yang Zhen, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and asked Mr. Yang to help write a letter.
As a result, not long after Yang Zongxian submitted the letter, something happened in the Metropolitan Procuratorate about a painted-skinned ghost pretending to be the Supervising Censor, which caused an uproar inside and outside the court. His Majesty was even more furious. Not only did Yang Zhen become the Censor of Zuodu, he was dismissed He also asked our Demon Suppression Department to conduct a thorough investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Master Zhang, Master Suquan and others were also implicated, and were reprimanded by an edict, saying that they often interacted with Yang Zhen, but did not help Yang Zhen see through the painted-skin ghost. They were really in trouble, and they were sent to Beijing. In Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, they were ordered to close their doors and meditate, so that they could go out and pray for the people of the world..."
After listening to Lu Bing's story, although Qin Shaoyou's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
First of all, let’s talk about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is the place where officials are monitored and impeached.
People in the Metropolitan Inspectorate may not be good at other skills, but they are definitely extremely skilled in using the mantra techniques of 'seeing fire with insight' and 'seeing every detail clearly'.
Ordinarily, there shouldn't be a painted ghost who could pretend to be their colleague under their noses without being discovered.
Unless that Painted Skin Ghost has some special abilities...
This reminded Qin Shaoyou of the fake prince he had seen in Prince Shu's Mansion before.
That fake prince is also wearing a painted skin.
However, the painted skin on his body was much more difficult to identify than those worn by ordinary painted-skinned ghosts. None of the officials in Yizhou and Jincheng could see his true identity.
If the painted-skinned ghost in the Metropolitan Procuratorate had used a similar method, or even more clever, it would have been possible for him to hide it from the detection of everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But how did it get discovered by the people from the Demon Suppression Department?
Could it be that there are some special methods or supernatural items in the Demon Suppression Department?
This possibility is really not impossible.
Qin Shaoyou remembered that when there was a case of missing children in Mianyuan County, a painted ghost also sneaked into Zhang Shilang's house, pretending to be his grandson.
Of course, the painted-skinned ghost not only wants to be the grandson of Zhang Shilang, but his ultimate goal is to peel off Zhang Shilang's skin and pretend to be him to sneak into the court.
It can be seen from this that it is definitely not an exception for ghosts such as Painted Skin Ghost to pretend to be officials and sneak into officialdom!
And this matter, after the case of missing children in Mianyuan County was concluded, was also included in the case file and reported to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Department.
If there are similar reports elsewhere, then the Demon Suppression Division Headquarters should have launched a secret investigation into all levels of yamen very early.
If some special means were used, it would not be unusual to find out the painted ghosts in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It's just a bit of a coincidence in terms of time.
Yang Zhen, the imperial censor of Zuodu, helped Zhang Zhenren and Master Suquan to write the letter, but later it was found out that there was a painted ghost in the capital procuratorate, and he was implicated and dismissed from his post...
This makes people can't help but wonder, what is the truth behind this matter?
Could it be that the Demon Suppression Department had already discovered that there were painted ghosts hiding in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and originally thought of fishing for a big fish in the long run to see if they could uncover more ghosts.
But it turned out that Emperor Jianwu played this card after Yang Zhen submitted a letter. He not only punished Yang Zhen, but also warned other people in the court not to point fingers at his cultivation of immortality?
As for whether doing this would ruin the Demon Suppression Division's long-term plan to catch big fish, Emperor Jianwu didn't care.
As for Master Zhang and Master Suquan, were they reprimanded by Emperor Jianwu's decree? Was it because they failed to spot the painted-skinned ghost hiding in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or was it because they wrote a letter to dissuade Emperor Jianwu from being obsessed with cultivating immortals?
Perhaps only Emperor Jianwu himself knows it best.
Lu Bing saw Qin Shaoyou's concern for Master Zhang and Master Suquan, and comforted him: "You can rest assured that although Master Zhang and Master Suquan have been reprimanded and punished, their abilities are something that Your Majesty needs to rely on. And Their letter of remonstrance was supported by many people inside and outside the court. In addition, their reputation in the Buddhist and Taoist worlds was not low, so for the time being, they would not be in danger. "
Qin Shaoyou thought the same way, and immediately thanked Lu Bing for telling him these things.
Lu Bing waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Qin Shaoyou wanted to say no, but as he spoke, he changed his mind and asked, "May I ask, Commander, are you going back to Beijing?"
Lu Bing's face darkened: "It's not something you can find out about."
This time they returned to Beijing, but they had to escort Qin Lin and Qin Erlang back together. Both the route and time were confidential.
That is to say, Qin Shaoyou proved himself in the previous incident, otherwise Lu Bing would have doubted whether he had any evil intentions based on what he asked.
Qin Shaoyou also knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly explained: "The commander has misunderstood. I didn't mean to inquire about your itinerary. I just wanted to say, can you let Mr. Qi stay in Luocheng for a few more days?"
Lu Bing raised his eyebrows and did not rush to give an answer. Instead, he asked: "Why is this?"
Qin Shaoyou replied: "I applied Wen Jianye because my ancestor taught me a spiritual dish called Black Lotus Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. This spiritual dish can help people with peak fourth-level cultivation increase their chances of success in breaking through to third-level !”
Lu Bing's eyes lit up instantly.
"The Black Lotus Buddha you mentioned about jumping over the wall can really help people with peak fourth-level cultivation to break through to third-level?!"
Qi Longfei has been stuck at the peak of the fourth level for a long time. In order for his disciple to break through smoothly, Lu Bing also helped think of many ways.
But unfortunately, it's of no use.
"If Grandmaster didn't lie to me, then it is really possible, and the probability is very high."
Qin Shaoyou once again passed the blame to the ancestor, who was used to it anyway.
Sure enough, the Patriarch didn't even groan this time.
Lu Bing suppressed his excitement: "If it is what the ancestor said, it must be true! I asked Long Fei to stay...well, Qiao'er also stayed. She hasn't been home for a long time. It's just a few days to rest and have a good time with her. You family reunions.”
Lu Bing did not promise what kind of reward he would give Qin Shaoyou if Qi Longfei succeeded in breaking through.
Qin Shaoyou was not stupid enough to ask.
With the status and status of Lu Bing and Qi Longfei, no matter whether the breakthrough is successful or not, the rewards will definitely be huge.
Just knowing this is enough.
After bidding farewell to Lu Bing and walking out of the library, Qin Shaoyou saw Xue Qingshan standing outside.
It seems that Lu Bing and the others will be leaving soon. They summoned Xue Qingshan to come over, probably to arrange follow-up matters.
Xue Qingshan asked the red-clothed envoy guarding the door to help him go in and report. He then pulled Qin Shaoyou to his side and asked in a low voice: "What award did the commander give you?"
"Promoted to the official position of hundreds of households."
Qin Shaoyou took out the Baihu waist card and shook it.
Xue Qingshan was really happy for him.
"You can do it, kid. Now you're on an equal footing with me... Oh, by the way, did the commander say which city you would be transferred to?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head: "No, let's continue in Mianyuan County."
"This shouldn't be the case. How can there be hundreds of officials still working in the county? It's not a big county in Gyeonggi."
Xue Qingshan thought about it for a while and finally understood.
"It seems that the commander is of another importance to you. It is estimated that you will not stay here anymore. Either you will be transferred to the Demon Division of Prefecture Town, or you will go to Beijing..."
