"It doesn't matter, when we grab the two white gloves, all the Liang family's bezoars and dog treasures will be exposed." Mu Min said to Liu Xiang who was a little anxious, "When we were interrogating the old madam Han Qiao who visited the Spring Courtyard, we
We know that Zhong Aijiao’s wife became the godmother of Mr. Liang’s father, Mr. Liang’s father. This relationship is not a superficial one.”
"You have to keep an eye on it and don't cause another incident of someone running away or committing suicide!" Liu Xiang said dissatisfiedly, "Gao Lingxiang, the leader of Guandi Temple, has not been caught so far. It cannot be revealed during the trial.
Canon punishment is really a pity."
"We are now trying our best to arrest him - it is unlikely that he will escape from Guangzhou. After all, we were under martial law for a long time due to the plague in the previous stage. Not to mention that Gao Lingxiang is dragging his family with him, so he will not be able to go far."
"It's a pity that Gao Tianshi committed suicide! He was really advantaged." Liu Xiang said bitterly, "Unless Gao Lingxiang is killed, it will be difficult to quell the anger of the people of Guangzhou."
Mu Min disagrees. Because judging from the evidence available, Gao Lingxiang is a playboy - in terms of popularity, he is not as famous as his evil young brother Gao Lingquan - there is no evidence at all that he is involved in the witchcraft case. What's more, he took over the Guan Dynasty
The Dimiao General Headquarters has only been in charge for a few months. Rather than causing public anger, it is better to say that his title of "General Headquarters" is hated by people.
But Mu Min didn't argue with him. She understood Mayor Liu's mood very well.
As time goes by, the shadow of the plague gradually fades, and the people of Guangzhou return to the noisy and busy life of the past. The anti-epidemic team members wearing coats and huge masks and the National Army with live ammunition in the streets have disappeared, and the curfew has also disappeared.
Canceled. The terrible sound of the two-wheeled vehicles that were walking in the streets collecting corpses could no longer be heard. People heaved a sigh of relief - they finally escaped with their lives from the hands of the plague god.
When someone in the family died, they still wore mourning. However, most of them were secretly glad that they had survived. The sense of relaxation and eagerness to indulge after the disaster made teahouses and restaurants everywhere full. The only regrettable thing was that in the city
All brothels outside the city, including official prostitutes and private prostitutes, were closed due to the "rectification of the customs industry". Many people had no choice but to go to Baietan outside the city and find Danjia flower boats to "have a romantic time" - for the time being, Australians
The police can't control it yet.
In this almost carnival atmosphere, there is still a depressing atmosphere. People in the tea house are talking in low voices about the recent "citywide big rope".
Before the outbreak of the plague, the compulsory accommodation of the Guandi Temple people had shocked the people in the city - this was a local snake that neither the chief envoy nor the governor had dared to provoke for many years. The Australians directly eliminated it, everywhere.
Doukou was swept away in an instant, and even those who were lucky enough not to be arrested now dare not come out and resume their old business.
After the plague, the Australians seemed to be more aggressive in arresting people, and people were arrested every day. The police and the National Army hurried through the streets and alleys, broke open the doors, and dragged away the people inside; some people were arrested on the street.
In the shop, the tea room was taken away.
There are both wealthy gentry and ordinary merchants here. The most common ones are the city foxes and rats who mess around on the streets, and the idle bachelors who help put up rice seedlings in brothels and wealthy families... It seems that they are all involved in the incident not long ago.
In the "witchcraft case" that shocked the whole city.
Some educated old gentlemen who had studied history were telling the story of the witchcraft case during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in a low voice in the teahouse. They said that tens of thousands of people were killed in this case, which made the tea guests angry.
They all made tut-tsk sounds. The public opinion agents were also shaking their heads in various places and reading the extra-issue serialization of "The Maojia Inn Series Murder Cases" specially published by "Yangcheng Express". This serialization has actually exceeded the scope of reportage, among which
There are large sections of descriptions of crimes that are purely "naturalistic", enough to give many people nightmares when they go home at night.
However, all this has nothing to do with Cui Hantang. Since the witchcraft case ended, Cui Hantang has been busy enclosing land for himself. First, he struck while the iron was hot and proposed a special report on Guangzhou Feng Shui issues.
After talking a lot about Guangzhou Feng Shui, he solemnly proposed:
First, the "Zhenhai Tower" was renamed "Tanhai Tower" because the town has the meaning of suppression, and from a Feng Shui perspective, it would suppress the kingly spirit of Guangzhou. This was also the intention of the Zhu Ming Dynasty when they built the Zhenhai Tower.
Second, any excavation and felling on Yuexiu Mountain is strictly prohibited to prevent damage to the mountain's dragon veins.
Third, build a temple at the gap dug in Ma'anshan in ancient times to repair and guard the dragon veins.
Fourth, if conditions permit in the future, a large-scale Feng Shui tower can be built in the center of Guangzhou for tourists to visit. It will be a multi-functional building like the Canton Tower in later generations that integrates tourism, culture and entertainment. First, it can better magnify the dragon in Guangzhou.
Secondly, it can show the strength of the Senate...
Unexpectedly, as soon as this report came out, it was criticized as worthless by Li Zhuoxian, a veteran who had just arrived in Guangzhou not long ago. In order not to hurt the face of New Taoism and Cui Taoist, the first and second articles were finally approved at the meeting.
The third article was passed on the grounds of environmental protection. The third article "will be considered by the municipal government as a whole", and the fourth article was ruthlessly shot. As for the proposal that the New Taoism wants to take over the temples of the Old Taoism, the meeting said it would "further discuss it."
". Lao Cui's plan to take over the Taoist temples in Guangzhou and take the opportunity to annex the property and manpower of each Taoist temple had to be shelved first.
However, his other motion - to hold funerals for the victims of the witchcraft case and the recent plague. The scale should be large, the momentum should be sufficient, and the people's hearts should be fully captured - it was passed smoothly. However, from his original plan of "government support"
"The government sets up a stage and the three religions perform operas".
"Damn it! Forget it with Bald Donkey, what's the point of involving foreign religions!" Cui Hantang almost pulled off his bun when he looked at the revised "public sacrifice" plan.
Dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction. After all, this ritual ceremony was also the first appearance of the new Taoism in Guangzhou, and it was a great opportunity to spread its influence. The fat Taoist priest became busy. He went against his usual laziness and started to teach
The junior students got up from their beds and asked Qingyun and Xiaoqian to review the Tai Chi sword and music. In the afternoon, they took out a flat square box and summoned them to watch something and asked them to practice according to the movements on it.
Cui Hantang himself is also very busy: in addition to sending telegrams to Daoist Dai E at the Lingao headquarters, he has been non-stop visiting Lin Baiguang of the Comprehensive Management Office, Wu Mu of the Political Security Bureau, and Ziminglou Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Pei Lixiu from the company, Zhang Yikun from Big World, Ding Ding from the newspaper and other senior veterans talked for a long time.
However, when he went to visit Liu Xiang with full confidence and wanted to get the Feng Shui treasure land in Ma'anshan, he was dismissed by Liu Xiang with a few words: "Brother Han and Tang, I came back and thought about it for a long time, and I think what you said is very good."
It makes sense: the dragon veins of Guangzhou really need to be protected. I have decided to change the plaque on Zhenhai Tower - Mr. Wen is also planning to write an inscription! I also asked the city bureau to put up a sign on Yuexiu Mountain: No felling, no private burial.
Burial. A large Yuexiu Mountain is full of graves, and it doesn’t look decent enough to be bare. So I decided to clean up the barren graves first, and then plant trees! Let’s turn Yuexiu Mountain into a big garden in Guangzhou! So Ma’anshan can’t do it
I’ll give it to you. After all, it’s a dragon vein. If you have a royal spirit, you won’t dare to disturb the earth casually. What if the dragon vein is dug up? Do you think so?”
Cui Hantang knew that Liu Xiang had changed his mind, so he had to lower his attitude and do the next best thing: "Ah, what Mayor Liu said is, ah, what he said is true. Haha, this dragon vein is really not suitable for breaking ground, ah, it is not suitable for breaking ground."
, Mayor Liu, you are really far-sighted and have a high-rise building, high, high! But look at me, a new Taoist of more than 20 men and women, crowded in the small courtyard of the big world. It is already crowded. This is not for the sake of doing something.
For your public memorial event, I have invited more than ten people from Lingao. Now we really can’t live here. Do you think it can be done? Hehe..."
Liu Xiang enjoyed Cui Hantang's shriveled look. Seeing this fat man lying down and doing nothing in front of him, he felt secretly happy. He had already lost face because of the surrender, but Cui Taoist priest was still bragging about it... which made him lose all face!
How can he live up to the mayor of the city if he doesn't make amends this time? However, he can't make it too difficult for him on the surface. After all, this fat man has also helped him. As long as others are still in Guangzhou City, he can help him anytime and anywhere.
If you can handle him, you won't be afraid of him flying into the sky.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiang spoke up, with a smile on his face as usual: "Ah haha, Old Cui, what are you talking about? Who among us brothers will follow whom? There will be a lot of time in the future, like this
Well, when I entered the city some time ago, I took over several Taoist temples, temples and so on. All the monks and Taoists were gone. If you don’t mind it, how about I allocate the Five Immortals Temple to you? That place is not small!"
"This... ok, ok, thank you, Mayor Liu, thank you, Mayor Liu, are you free tonight? I'll be the host of Ziminglou!" Fatty Cui clapped his chest loudly.
Liu Xiang accepted it and said, "No, no, you have helped me a lot. This little thing is nothing. I have to prepare for the public trial. I think you should go to the Taoist temple to clean up first? Public sacrifices and public trials are not
The highlight of social governance recently - by the way, the Luzeyuan Cemetery in Yantang, please take the time to send some people to have a funeral."
"Of course we have to go, I'll go there myself. But the land for the Taoist temple at the cemetery must be approved as soon as possible..."
"There is no problem with the land. I am waiting for you at any time. But the money for the land purchase of your New Taoist Church has also been paid." Mayor Liu said, "You see, the Catholic Church is very happy, the money has been received - I now
The procedures are suppressed and not approved by them, otherwise the good places will be picked out by them.”
