Of course, Xuande is not the Great Master of Qingtian. Ma Weisan knows clearly: Xuande's motivation for joining the sect is no different from his.//.com Novel Network//The higher you get to the upper level, the weaker your faith becomes and the more interests you consider.
This is a tacit understanding between the top management.
Hearing that Ma Weisan was very "informed", Xuan De was quite satisfied. However, the Yizhou incident had caused a shock within the general altar, and it had to be passed on. Moreover, Yizhou could enshrine 4,800 taels of silver every year.
Once a huge financial resource within the sect is lost, it will have a great impact on the entire sect - various private sects in Shandong Province compete fiercely with each other. Only with territory can they have financial resources, and with financial resources can they expand their 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 was one option, but now that the situation in Yizhou was unstable, he had to use Ma Weisan's power - after all, the Yizhou area was
His basic base has been in business for many years and is deeply rooted. If you really want to jump over the wall and invest in Zhang Daoshi, it will become difficult to deal with it.
A fleeting smile appeared on his face. Ma Weisan quickly caught the smile and immediately became energetic. He quickly said: "The Dharma Master is visiting Yizhou this time. If there is a need for disciples to serve,
Wherever you go, my disciples will definitely repay you with their dogs and horses."
"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 do you think we should deal with it?"
"Yes, yes, for alarming the master, the disciple deserves to die!" 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 terrifying legends.
His legs and feet went weak and he immediately fell to his knees, "Disciple is willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"
Finally, Ma Weisan agreed to "offer" an additional ten thousand taels of incense to the main altar. Xuande saw that he was quite sensible, so offering the ten thousand taels back to the main altar was an explanation, so he relaxed a little:
"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.//.comNovel Network//" 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 it.
Roughly less than one-third of the people completely rebelled. Xuande felt that there was still something to be done about this matter.
"What a waste." He secretly despised Ma Weisan. He didn't use these resources, but hid like a turtle. No matter how powerful this Taoist priest was, he was just alone.
Yizhou should be replaced by a capable and reliable person to take charge of this branch in the future.
But how to deal with it, he had to discuss it with other people - the people who came with him this time were all the backbone of the main forum, and they had to be given enough respect. However, this was purely polite. Hu Qier this time
The miss made him secretly happy. Her master was the saint of the Inner Law Hall who came with him this time.
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. Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he ordered his men: "Take the sinner to Hu Qi'er."
Qi'er mentioned the torture chamber in the backyard, and I want to interrogate him at night!"
Ma Weisan's study room located in the main courtyard of the branch altar was his most important place of confidentiality. It not only stored a large amount of confidential information within the branch altar and all kinds of documents, but it was also furnished and decorated with every possible 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 beautiful and coquettish maids to serve 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 he is at the local level, there are people who are flattering and enjoying themselves.
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. Xuande 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 rushed in aggressively. It was none other than Luo Saichun, the saint of the Inner Law Hall who had accompanied him to Yizhou to clean up the mess.
Xuande 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 Master of the Dharma."
Xuande looked at the people who came behind him and nodded calmly: "Okay, you guys step back first!"
"Sit." He greeted Luo Saichun.
"No need." Luo Saichun said coldly, "Have you already tried Ma Weisan and Hu Qier?"
"Yes, I asked them a few questions." Xuan De readily admitted, "Why, I can't ask?"
"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?
Are you waiting for sin?"
"She has committed such a serious crime, and being detained in the execution hall and being whipped a few times is already a very light punishment," Xuande sneered, "Saint 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, in order to clean up the situation in Yizhou now, I must rely on him, and it is not an exaggeration to give him a little preferential treatment. Don't
Forgot, when we set off, the altar master allowed me to 'act expediently', are you trying to despise the altar master's order?"
"You are talking nonsense, don't use the power of the chief altar leader to suppress me!" Luo Saichun is a prostitute in the Jianghu, with a straightforward personality, "You have already fallen in love with Hu Qier, and you have repeatedly molested her, but this time you are just taking advantage of her.
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 concubine who worked as a prostitute - even in a sect where the lower classes were the main members, she had a very low background, and was despised by others every day. Later, she climbed up to a high position in the sect step by step, but behind her back
He is still looked down upon by others.
Xuande's words immediately made her tremble with anger, but Xuande was higher than her in terms of teaching status and martial arts. Although the saint in the sect was very prominent, she was not favored by ordinary believers.
Although he is highly respected, he actually has no real power among the senior leaders of the sect.
If a conflict really breaks out, both sides will lose, but the damage she will suffer will be much greater than Xuan said. Not only will it not help the matter, but it will make it even more difficult for Hu Qi'er, 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 hierarchy 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 Nu Luo," he said slowly, "Hu Qier's matter can be big or small. It all depends on you as the master."
"You say it. 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 was a very smart woman, and she guessed that the Yizhou branch and the Ma family's property must be involved - Xuanda most likely had 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 had already figured out 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 owners, incense directors, 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 say "let's forget the past". If they are not willing to go, they will "implement the law" and kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys. With Ma Weisan's local power and the strength of the envoys sent by the general altar, Xuande believed that he would force most of the locals to
It is not difficult for the backbone of the branch to attend the ceremony. As for those rebellious Xiangtang, even if they refuse to come, they will definitely become panicked.
