At this time, a large number of onlookers had gathered outside the gate of Yushitai. They were so crowded that they waved to Shi Xuanming and motioned him to follow him and Ni Chenyi in to talk.

Although Shi Xuanming lost very badly, he was still convinced, because he knew that even if he fought again, the result would still be like this.

He took Shi Xuanming to the court hall, sat down separately for the guests and the host, and then ordered someone to call the censor in charge of personnel affairs.

"Little Taoist Priest, why are you calling others over while we are talking?" Shi Xuanming was puzzled.

"Master, I am willing to admit defeat," he said with a smile, "from today on, you will be the policeman of Yushitai."

Seeing the frustration on Shi Xuanming's face, he said seriously, "Master, we will never break our promise to you for the five thousand taels of gold, but you have not defeated me. I'm afraid you will rarely be free in the next five years."

Shi Xuanming simply said, "Okay, I will work with you as a handyman for five years."

"It's not a handyman, it's a police officer." Correction.

"In short, there is no freedom, and there is no difference between the handyman and the fastman." Shi Xuanming sighed.

Ni Chenyi looked at him suspiciously. She knew she admired Shi Xuanming, but she didn't understand why he restricted Shi Xuanming's freedom. You must know that this approach can easily arouse Shi Xuanming's resentment and disgust.

It was not convenient to explain at this time, so I could only smile at Ni Chenyi.

Not long after, the chief censor arrived, introduced Shi Xuanming to the chief censor, and ordered him to register Shi Xuanming in a register and add him to the arresting team.

Although officials and officials are both officials, they are very different. Officials have grades, while officials have no grades. Police officers belong to officials and have a lower status than officials.

The imperial censor was in charge of personnel affairs and had a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the officials in the department. He then ordered them to explain the daily work of the police officers in detail to Shi Xuanming. He knew when to be on duty and when to practice martial arts, including the dress code and the requirements to comply with it. What regulations etc.

The chief censor recited it fluently, and Shi Xuanming was frustrated when he heard it. The reason why he was kicked out of the Shaolin Temple was because he did not like restraint and repeatedly violated the rules and precepts. Now he was so hot-headed that he lost his freedom for five years.

Seeing that Shi Xuanming was extremely frustrated, he felt that the time was ripe, so he interrupted the leading censor, "Okay, stop talking, these rules and regulations are only to restrain those idiots. Master Xuanming is a peerless master, how can he Can you be lumped in with those unlearned and unskilled agents..."

Although Shi Xuanming was willful, he was extremely smart and could listen to words. He interrupted him before he finished speaking, "How many unlearned and unskilled idiots are there in your yamen?"

As soon as Shi Xuanming repeated his own words, he knew that Shi Xuanming had guessed his true thoughts, "Three hundred."

Shi Xuanming nodded and said, "Don't you just want me to teach them martial arts? Let's do it.

In my three years, I have allowed each of them to do their own thing, and as for what I do on weekdays, you don't have to worry about it."

"I can't wait three years, two years at most." He said.

"Two years?" Shi Xuanming frowned and pondered, and after a moment he nodded heavily, "Okay, that should be enough."

Seeing that Shi Xuanming had fallen into the trap, he ordered the censor to inform the school captain to gather the arresters, and then personally took Shi Xuanming to meet everyone. He had absolute trust in Shi Xuanming and completely delegated power. Anyone who was disobedient might be Those who cannot be carved can be driven away directly by Shi Xuanming.

Then he called the old man in charge of the warehouse and told him that Shi Xuanming could withdraw the silver taels at will. Ni Chenyi, who was on the side, lost no time in adding, saying that the Ni family would send someone to send five thousand taels of gold later, just for Shi Xuanming to withdraw.

.

After the explanation was over, Shi Xuanming was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed in the martial arts arena to test the martial arts skills of the police officers one by one.

Ni Chenyi wanted to send someone to send money back, so he followed behind to see her off.

"So you want him to teach you martial arts skills." Ni Chenyi said with a smile.

He nodded proudly, "This instructor can't be hired with money. This person is proficient in Shaolin's unique skills, and Shaolin martial arts is known for its fierceness. It is most suitable for people who are not very knowledgeable but are diligent and hardworking to practice. These three hundred arresters from Yushitai

It would be most appropriate to leave it to him to teach you as soon as possible. Within two years, we will be a tiger and wolf army that can rival ten tigers and wolves."

"Why didn't you just tell him directly instead of going around in circles?" Ni Chenyi asked casually.

He replied, "Haven't you seen it yet? Although this man was expelled from the Shaolin Temple, he is devoted to the Buddha. What if I directly ask him to teach Shaolin Kung Fu about arresting people and he tells me that Shaolin Kung Fu is secret and should not be passed on to anyone else?"

If you pull someone like him away, he may not follow you, you have to let him find it on his own."

"Haha, it's true," Ni Chenyi said with a smile, "As the saying goes, heaven and earth all work together. You are really lucky. When you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow."

After nodding, he asked, "What do you think of this person?"

"What do you mean?" Ni Chenyi asked.

"Tell me everything." He said casually.

Ni Chenyi thought for a while and said, "A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a person that is beautiful to the masses will be slandered. This person is not tolerated by Shaolin. Maybe it is just because he is too outstanding and what he does is not recognized by ordinary monks."

.”

He nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think so too. This person has great ambitions. Ordinary monks regard wine, sex and wealth as a scourge and avoid them, but he did the opposite."

To practice it, to enter the world of mortals and test the law with one's own body, this requires great courage. His approach is similar to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell"? Our five thousand taels of gold can make him

Enjoying all the wealth and honor in the world and seeing all the world's conditions, there are only two results. If he can control it, he will be successful, if he can't control it, he will be destroyed."

"It makes sense," Ni Chenyi nodded. At this time, the two of them had arrived at the door. Ni Chenyi asked casually, "When are you going to see your uncle?"

I had just received a powerful martial arts instructor. I was in a good mood and my mind was quick. I said casually, "I have to go and have a look, but it's not appropriate for me to go by myself. Some people have viciously slandered and slandered me when I came on stage yesterday. Let's do that.

, you go back and get something, and then come with me for a walk in the afternoon."

"Okay." Ni Chenyi responded with a smile.

After sending Ni Chenyi away, he returned to the court and continued to read the files of the previous unsolved cases. The Yushitai not only supervises the officials in the capital, but also sends out anti-corruption inspectors to patrol local government affairs every spring and autumn. Previously, there had been a vacancy for the Yushitai, and there was unrest in the local area.

, the autumn patrol was never carried out.

Now that the imperial court is planning to build 300,000 new troops, it will inevitably require a large amount of gold and silver military pay. This morning in the court hall, the emperor has given him instructions with his eyes, asking him to help raise money to raise troops. In order to raise military pay as soon as possible, the troops can only be divided into two groups.

, he himself stayed in Chang'an to try to blackmail these Beijing officials, and then sent more than a dozen integrity inspectors to the local areas to blackmail those local officials.

There is an essential difference between blackmail and intimidation. The premise of blackmail is to catch these officials, and the reason why he dug out all these old and unresolved cases is to find clues in them. In eight out of ten unsolved cases,

There are officials in Jiudu who are secretly covering up and delaying. Whether they are extorting money in Chang'an themselves, or the anti-corruption inspectors are going to local areas to extort money, they have to grab something.

The word blackmail is indeed not a pleasant word, but compared to being convicted and having their homes confiscated, those officials, large and small, probably prefer being extorted.

While reading and recording at the same time, if I am worried that there are too many clues and I will miss them, I will also sketch them out.

The Yushitai was originally a quiet place, but it was no longer quiet now. From time to time, the screams of the police officers and the curses of Shi Xuanming could be heard from the martial arts field to the east. In fact, it is not surprising that Shi Xuanming was anxious. This guy took a

He has a hot potato in his hand. The day this group of detectives cannot act alone, the day he will not be free.

He was quite pleased with Shi Xuanming's eagerness. Although the agreement between him and Shi Xuanming was for two years, it was just a cover-up to confuse the eunuchs, because it was impossible for Shi Xuanming not to mention the time and deadline when instructing these arrests.

If he mentions the deadline, the news will reach the ears of the eunuch, and the eunuch will mistakenly think that he may take action in two years. In fact, his most ideal state is three months.

Eradicate the eunuchs from within.

Naturally, three months will not achieve the same effect as two years, but three months of diligent study and practice will greatly improve the martial arts of these agents.

As for the fact that he didn't reveal his true thoughts to Ni Chenyi, it was to avoid unnecessary complications. Not only would he not tell Ni Chenyi, but he would not tell Zhang Shan or Zhang Mo about some things either.

In the late afternoon, Ni Chenyi arrived with the gold carriage. When the gold was put into the warehouse, he sent someone to call Shi Xuanming and let him see with his own eyes that the gold had arrived. However, Shi Xuanming's mind was not on this at all. He was rare.

He is a martial arts prodigy. In his opinion, the martial arts skills of this group of agents are not even the skills of a three-legged cat.

Since the Yushitai was not far from the Baoqing Inn, he and Ni Chenyi walked there. It was no secret that Zhang Mo was recuperating at the Baoqing Inn. A large number of Taoists and Taoist believers came to visit. Everyone was still guessing about Zhang Mo's mentality.

Seeing him and Ni Chenyi coming together this time, I cleared up all my doubts and stopped thinking about him.

Zhang Mo was injured and originally needed to rest. However, everyone was so kind and came to visit her that it was inconvenient for her to stay behind closed doors. She could only work hard to meet each other one by one. Fortunately, everyone did not waste time and briefly expressed their concern.

After expressing condolences, he said goodbye and left.

I thought that I would be awkward when I saw Zhang Mo again, but after meeting me, I found that I didn't seem to be very awkward at all, and Zhang Mo's attitude was very natural, with nothing unusual.

Just when the two of them saw Zhang Mo and wanted to leave, some servants came. Although they brought tonic medicine, they were not just here to deliver medicine, but to declare an edict. They only taught the Taoist way of yin and yang to follow the sky.

Yingren said that Taoist health-preserving methods prolong life, so Zhang Mo was asked to come to the palace after he recovered to give sermons to the concubines in the harem and teach them health-preserving techniques.

Zhang Mo seemed quite surprised by the sudden imperial edict, and everyone on his side waiting outside the door also didn't know why.

Seeing that there was another imperial edict in the tray, Ni Chenyi took off the money bag from his waist and secretly stuffed it to the eunuch who passed the edict. After explaining his identity, he quietly inquired about the information. From this, he learned that another imperial edict was issued to a Buddhist master, who was also invited to

She went to give sermons to the concubines in the harem.

As a result, everyone suddenly realized that the concubines in the harem were all young women, and it would be inconvenient for Taoist monks and monks to enter. It was not difficult to understand why they invited Kun Taoists and nuns to come over and give lectures to them.

After visiting Zhang Mo, Ni Chenyi proposed to go to the Taiping Inn again. He just said that he was busy with official business and would talk about it in a few days, so he and Ni Chenyi returned separately.

Returning to the censor's desk, he continued to read the files at his desk. He did not go back to the house to rest until he had finished reading all the files at the third watch.
