At this moment, a voice was heard: "Where did Master Qingtian come from? Did he come here to show off his power?"
Qi Xuansu then stood up and turned around to look.
I saw another group of people coming from outside the door, mostly servants and the like. The leader was a young man who was a few years younger than him. He just had the word "cynical" written on his face.
Like Qiniang, she wears a pair of large sunglasses, disheveled hair, and old clothes, with half of her chest exposed in the bleak autumn night.
Qi Xuansu remembers that this is called dispersing qi. After taking too much "Wu Shi San", he has this virtue. His skin is sensitive and he cannot wear new clothes, only old clothes. That's why he has the so-called celebrity demeanor of undressing to catch lice, and his whole body feels hot.
Therefore, I only wear a single suit in the severe cold weather. Over time, the skin will ulcerate.
Since the revival of the Taoist sect, this thing has been strictly prohibited, and Taoist priests at all levels have been explicitly ordered: "If you encounter such a thing, you must burn it and don't leave it for a long time."
It's just that after taking this product, it can make people feel as if they are ascending to immortality, and it also has the effect of an aphrodisiac. Therefore, many powerful people still like to take this product, especially before sex, and use it in conjunction with some informal "surgeries in the sexual intercourse".
Repeatedly banned.
Qi Xuansu had to admit that although there were many bad things inside the Taoist sect that could not be brought to light, compared with the outside world, the people in the Taoist sect did have enough confidence to look down on others.
Qi Xuansu signaled to the spiritual officer outside to let people in.
The spiritual officials separated a path and allowed the man to enter the courtyard with several followers.
Qi Xuansu asked: "What's your name?"
When the young master faced Qi Xuansu, he was not afraid at all: "I am Gao Shide."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Are you the boss behind this brothel?"
"It doesn't matter." The young man denied it.
Qi Xuansu said: "Then you are a prostitute?"
"I'm not a prostitute either." The young master still denied it.
Qi Xuansu was still calm: "I'm not the boss behind the scenes, nor a prostitute, so what did you mean by what you just said?"
Gao Shide smiled: "When the road is rough, let's say a few words of justice."
After hearing this, Zhou Lingguan took a step forward.
Gao Shide was not afraid at all: "Why, the dignified spiritual officer of the Taoist sect wants to beat someone? This is an eye-opener. If you don't dare to beat the evil cult monster, you dare to beat us ordinary people who abide by the law, right?"
Qi Xuansu raised his hand to signal Zhou Lingguan not to act rashly and said: "When there is an injustice on the road, he draws his sword to help. He is a knight, right? After all, a knight breaks the law with force."
Gao Shide smiled and said: "Don't blame me for this mage. I can't afford it. How can I dare to break the ban with force? I'm just for the sisters in the yard.
If the girls say a few words of justice, you will be frightened and your face will turn pale."
Qi Xuansu said: "We are responsible for rectifying the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital and are affiliated with the Imperial Palace."
Gao Shide smiled a little unscrupulously: "Isn't the Imperial Capital Taoist Office just to provide justice to us good people? If you have any grievances, go to the Jade Palace to worship and ask the Supreme Taoist Ancestor. All problems will be solved. The merits are immeasurable!
"
Qi Xuansu casually took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Gao Shide's collar so that his chest was no longer exposed: "A law-abiding citizen came here at night to say a few words of justice, and faced dozens of people like wolves and tigers.
The spiritual officer is not afraid, and he talks freely, which is really courageous. When I was your age, I was not as courageous as you."
Gao Shide slapped Qi Xuansu's hand away and sneered: "Master, just say what you say, don't act like a senior."
Qi Xuansu nodded: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, who is your father?"
Gao Shide asked, "What does this have to do with my father?"
"It's related." Qi Xuansu said slowly, "Of course it's related."
Just as Gao Shide was about to speak, Qi Xuansu slapped him hard without any warning, sending him spinning around in the air. When he landed, his ears were ringing, his mouth was full of blood, and he spit out a few bloody teeth.
Qi Xuansu had to control his strength, otherwise this slap could have blown away his entire head.
Since Gao Shide opened his mouth and shouted that Daomen would beat people, then if he didn't beat him, wouldn't he be getting this reputation for nothing?
Several of Gao Shide's followers were about to protect the master, but they were knocked to the ground by the surrounding spiritual officials, and then their heads were stepped on, making them unable to move.
Qi Xuansu then slowly said: "I tell you what's the matter. The child did something wrong. I don't care about you. I care about your adults. I don't know who your adults are. How can I argue with him?
Care about it?"
Gao Shide's eyes were blackened by this slap, and he was aroused with fierceness. His face was ferocious, and he scratched his neck and said: "If you are capable, you are a man. You will beat me to death on the spot today!"
I want to see how powerful the Taoist sect is!"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said condescendingly: "There is a kind of unscrupulous green skin in the world. He comes to blackmail people. He doesn't break things or beat people. He just cuts his own flesh with a knife to show off his cruelty. It means I dare to even kill myself.
It's nothing to treat people more. Most people will admit it when they see fear. Now you are shouting for me to beat you to death. What is the difference between you and this kind of green skin? This is me now. I have been repeatedly told that I have to occupy my time to do things.
Reasonable, you have to follow the rules. If it were me two years ago, you wouldn't even have a chance to speak now."
This is not Qi Xuansu's harsh words. He has a violent spirit in him, a violent spirit that kills people at every turn. Therefore, he has never been a good person, not even a good man. It is just that under Zhang Yuelu's subtle influence, he has restrained himself a lot. Recently, he has restrained himself a lot.
I also started to pay attention to nourishing my Qi, and was no longer as impulsive as in the past.
Half of Gao Shide's cheeks were swollen and the bruises were black, but he still refused to give up: "Who can't brag with harsh words? Do you know who my father is?"
Qi Xuansu really laughed. He didn't like to rely on background to suppress people, but preferred to use force to suppress people. However, at this time, he really wanted to ask, "More than background, right? Then do you know who my godmother is? That's
The front foot bombarded Master Si Ming, and the back foot fought with Wu Guangbi's master Yao Fang.
But if you really want to say it out loud, it would appear childish and inferior.
So Qi Xuansu still said: "I asked just now, but if you don't tell me, there is nothing I can do. I know you have a backer, otherwise you wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me, but since you are out to do things, how can you not offend others.
To be honest, I have beaten people with bigger backers than you, and they didn’t do anything to me. I can still bear the crime of this slap."
Gao Shide stared at Qi Xuansu fiercely, as if he wanted to remember Qi Xuansu's face in his mind, and said ferociously: "The Imperial Palace has nine deputy masters and one real master. Each of them has six chiefs, that is, sixty
There are more than three bosses, and there are far fewer green turtles in Penglai Pond than you. If you don’t beat me to death today, don’t regret it when we meet again in the future.” .??.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to say anything more, and waved his hand: "Take him away in the name of obstructing official duties, and let his father come to pick him up in person. He must be the real father, not the stepfather or the fake father. If he doesn't come, let him stay."
Live in hell and wait."
The two spiritual officers understood the intention of their superiors, which was not to carry the person away, but to drag the person away directly.
Qi Xuansu suddenly turned around and looked at the women in the courtyard, shouting: "Separate interrogations. Anyone who dares to play tricks will be severely punished."
All the spiritual officials responded in unison.
Those in charge were all pale-faced, and their faces were trembling.
This case was handled until late at night. Seeing that Gao Shide, the backer behind the scenes, was easily dealt with, the madam of the brothel naturally did not dare to resist to the end, so she confessed everything.
These women "entered" from the local beggar gang.
Incoming goods.
As for the role of the Beggar Clan, Qi Xuansu had already learned about it in Jinling Mansion.
Beggars’ gang members are mainly beggars.
The Lord is also called the "Beggar King" and is considered a semi-official figure. The government relies on them for many things.
What beggars do on a daily basis is not just begging. There are a large number of middle-aged men among beggars. In addition to begging, they also do various side jobs that ordinary people are not willing to do, such as Shouyi Village.
, watch the streets and watch the streets, collect the ownerless corpses, fill up the number of people for weddings and weddings, and even set up a ghost market, rob all kinds of tombs, steal stolen goods, etc., and foreign robbers, thieves, flower girls and other low-ranking people want to come to the city.
When doing business inside and outside the city, local beggar gangs came to worship at the top of the mountain for protection.
In addition, many Renyazi also have relationships with the Beggar Clan. To put it bluntly, Renyazi is just a middleman, and the "source of goods" is provided by the Beggar Clan. Many maids and servants who were sold by wealthy families were also resold by Renyazi to the Beggar Clan.
, and then the beggars take action.
The members of the Beggar Clan hardly travel around the world, but are scattered in major towns, and they are not affiliated with each other. In other words, the Beggar Clan in Jinling Prefecture and the Beggar Clan in Imperial Capital are both beggar cliques, but they have nothing to do with each other.
The Jinling Prefecture Beggar Gang has a background in the Jiangnan Daofu Prefecture, and is an important link in the smuggling and corruption process. Then the Imperial Capital Beggar Gang naturally also has a backer. Don't look at Qi Xuansu, who is already a fourth-grade Taoist priest in charge. If he really wants to provoke him,
You may not be able to get a good deal.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of Lucuixia, Gao Shide also has connections with the Beggar Clan. According to the Madam, Gao Yanei's weight is still quite different, mainly because of Mr. Gao's face.
Speaking specifically about this Mr. Gao, the Madam was vague.
Qi Xuansu asked the Lingguan to escort all these people back to the hell prison under the name of the Jade Palace, and temporarily guard them, and then slowly screen them out, releasing the clients first, and then the prostitutes.
San and Wu Si asked about Mr. Gao.
After all, Song San was trying to test hundreds of households, and his knowledge was far higher than that of the old bustard. According to what he said, Gao Yameni was Gao Shide, known as "Hua Tai Sui". As for Mr. Gao, he was a great figure in the Imperial City, although he did not have an official.
Part-time job, but close contacts with many big shots.
In Western terms, Mr. Gao is the "white glove" of the big shots, who specializes in cleaning their belongings. It is said that there is also a "black glove" who specializes in doing some shady things to prevent the big shots from getting their hands dirty.
Qi Xuansu was surprised to hear that it was said that Western aristocrats, both men and women, liked to wear gloves when they had nothing to do, so he came up with this name. He had to admit that it was indeed very concise and clear, and people knew what it meant as soon as they heard it.
Wear gloves only if you are afraid of getting your hands dirty, one black and one white, one yin and one yang.
Qi Xuansu knew that he had found the right direction, but he had also provoked a tough character.
