Facing Zhu Zhimeng's kindness, Zhao Ran was stunned by it, and then couldn't help but feel moved and thanked Zhu Zhimeng.

Zhu Zhimeng said again: "It is best to try to practice the introductory Taoism before, so as not to delay it. I can see if I can find you a few Taoist books and you can learn them too?"

Zhao Ran said: "Da Zhuo, Master Xiao Zhuo has given me a Taoist book, a book called "Shangqing Jue", "Zhengyi Talisman Method" and "Making a Vehicle". I am studying, but I don't know where to go to assign a talisman position. The two Masters said they will help me find a way."

"That's good. I'll write to you when I have time. At that time, you can reply to me through the Sandu channel of Xizhenwu Palace. They can contact Huayun Pavilion directly. If you don't know anything, you can ask me in the letter. I know you are very talented in learning, but I am in Huayun Pavilion after all. If I don't even understand, I can help you ask my master or other uncles and uncles."

Zhu Zhimeng left with Master Liang, and the Taoist sects and government officials who came to Songfeng Ridge gradually dispersed. Zhao Ran followed the people of Wujiyuan to return to Wuji Mountain. After returning, he fell asleep. He was indeed very tired these days, not physical fatigue. His cultivation of merits has begun to take effect. At least he has magic power. This fatigue is no problem at all. His fatigue mainly lies in his heart, and more in his confusion about his future prospects.

From the moment he saw Zhang Jianyuan's body, he knew that the Qingmiao money reform he advocated would not be able to continue. He had no confidence in whether he could even continue to maintain it in Guyang County.

He will think about it when he has free time in the past two days. He will soon start to enter the "refining essence" level. According to the cultivation methods of the Taoist realm, he needs a lot of merit and power. The first priority is of course, he still hopes to maintain the new policy of Qingmiao money in Guyang County. The merit and power rewards brought to him by this policy are extremely generous.

If he can't maintain it, he will settle for the second best and devote his main energy to the matter of clearing the land. He expects that the merits that this matter can bring will not be too little, and it may not be able to meet the needs of cultivation.

The place where Zhang Jianyuan was assassinated was in Guyang County, and this incident was definitely a disaster for the Taoist priests in the Wujiyuan. Although it has been inferred that it is a Buddhist monk who cannot handle it, in any case, Wujiyuan, which is in charge of the affairs of the county's Taoist affairs, cannot shirk the responsibilities it should bear. Therefore, from Song Zhiyuan, to ordinary Taoist chanting children, including Jin Jiu, they were very worried. They didn't know what kind of punishment they would be punished.

In order to try its best to reduce the guilt, the entire Wujiyuan took action, blocked the road checkpoints, visited clues from village to households, and rarely showed a strong side, and directly took over the dispatching power of the third yamen runners and archers in Guyang County.

As the Fang Tang, if Wujiyuan really wants to be beaten, then the first one is Song Zhiyuan, the second one will definitely fall on Zhao Ran’s butt. For more than ten days, Zhao Ran has been working hard to solve the case. He is not afraid of being beaten, but because he feels a faint sense of guilt in his heart.

If it weren't for his strong advocacy for the reform of Qingmiao money, and if it weren't for the "on-site office meeting" he suggested, Zhang Jianyuan wouldn't have come to Wujiyuan at this time, and perhaps he wouldn't have been assassinated in Songfengling. Whenever he thought of the old Taoist priest who had only seen twice, and whenever he thought of the old Taoist priest's encouragement and hope for him, he wouldn't have been able to help feeling guilty.

In addition to guilt, Zhao Ran also had a trace of lingering doubts. He intuitively believed that this matter was related to the fact that Zhang Jianyuan vigorously promoted the reform of Qingmiao money, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? He happened to be assassinated in the middle way when he was preparing to promote the reform? Moreover, even if Zhang Jianyuan is of high power, he is just a prison in the ten directions jungle after all, an old man who is too "vulgar" to be "vulgar". What kind of grudges does he have with Buddhist monks? Will attract an assassin from the world of cultivation and be willing to take the risk of stabbing him to death?

Zhao Ran locked his eyes firmly on the monk's "bald head", which is an extremely obvious feature and the only feasible search clue so far. For this reason, Zhao Ran personally led the team and searched from the county town, not letting go of any bald head without hair. After the county town was checked, he went to various villages to search, and after the ordinary people checked, he checked the wealthy and gentry.

In order to avoid causing trouble, the gentry of Guyang County opened the door without any conditions and actively cooperated with Zhao Ran to find clues. Often, when Zhao Ran first started to investigate this household, the next household had already sent a housekeeper, and even the head of the family was present in person, respectfully invited Zhao Ran to search.

During the ten days of searching in the county, Zhao Ran captured dozens of bald heads, but without exception they were all "good people". The reason why he was bald was 90% because he did not grow hair, and there was not a single monk in it, let alone possessing Buddhist magic power.

After ten days of dizziness and darkness outside, Zhao Ran gained nothing and had to return to Wujiyuan. Once back to the mountain gate, Zhao Ran was invited by Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan obviously hasn't had a good time these days. He saw that his hair was white with half of his hair. Song Jianyuan had no leisure to cook tea and tea, and Zhao Ran had no energy to comfort the boss. The two sat opposite each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was very dull.

The news from the Song Supervisory Court to Zhao Ran came from the Xizhenwu Palace. Because Zhang Supervisory Court died unexpectedly, Xizhenwu Palace quickly added another Xizhenwu Palace. Due to special circumstances, this Supervisory Court was not recommended by the Sandu Office, but appointed by Xuanyuanguan.

"The new supervisory institute's surname is Xu, and he just turned fifty this year and his name is Xu Tenglong."

Zhao Ran pinched his temples and said powerlessly: "Zhang Jianyuan has passed away. Xizhenwu Palace cannot be unowned for a day. It is inevitable that the new Jianyuan will take office. I just don't know what kind of person this Xu Jianyuan is, and will inherit the will of Zhang Jianyuan and continue to support the reform of Qingmiao money. However, since it is the Jianyuan appointed by Xuanyuanguan, there is still hope that the Qingmiao money matter will continue to be promoted. After all, the Li Jianyuan of Xuanyuanguan has a close relationship with Zhang Jianyuan and supports Zhang Jianyuan..."

The Song Supervisory Court did not answer Zhao Ran's words and continued to introduce the resume of the supervisor: "Xu Tenglong was born in Huangzhou, Huguang and entered the Ende Court of Huanggang County at the age of 17..."

Zhao Ran was stunned: "Huguang?"

"...At the age of twenty, he received a certificate, and at the age of twenty, he was the trough head, and at the age of thirty, he was transferred to the entrance of the guest hall three years later. He was promoted to the imperial examination and then moved to the imperial examination in three years. At the age of forty, he entered the Wusheng Palace in Huangzhou Prefecture as a guest, and at the age of forty, he moved to the Qingyuan Palace in Wuchang at the age of forty, and was transferred to the imperial examination in Wuchang at the age of forty, and was in charge of the capital. At the age of forty, he entered Changchun Temple in Huguang as a guest."

As Zhao Ran listened, he heard the truth: "This person has never served in the prison?"

The Song Supervisory Institute nodded, and Zhao Ran was surprised.

Judging from Xu Tenglong's resume, this person's transfer has two characteristics.

One is that he has a very fast promotion, basically one level in two to three years. Even if he is transferred to the same level, he will basically go to important positions. Such people have a strong relationship, and there are always people above to promote him. But he started very low, almost the same as those like Zhao Ran who sneaked into the Taoist temple, which shows that his family background is not strong. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a very good at managing people. To put it bluntly, he is very good at catering to it.

The second characteristic is that this person has never had the experience of presiding the party from the Taoist palace, and from the Taoist palace to the Taoist palace. Such people usually have no strong abilities, that is, they lack talent and ability. Even those who promote him do not have much confidence in his abilities, so they dare not entrust full power.

What Zhao Ran was curious about was how could such a person come to Sichuan for no reason? And he came to the Taoist Palace's prison?

Song Zhiyuan sighed and explained: "The appointment was issued by Xuanyuan Temple, but I heard that this person was recommended by Lushan Temple."

It’s the Lushan General View again? Huh, why would you say ‘re’? Zhao Ran suddenly remembered that the uncontrollable abbot of Xizhenwu Palace also came from Huguang. He couldn’t help asking: “Abbot Du…”

Song Zhiyuan nodded heavily and said, "Abbot Du received a certificate at the Wusheng Palace in Huangzhou when he was young. He continued to serve as the Wusheng Palace Supervisory Court. He entered the Qingyuan Palace in Wuchang five years ago as the abbot..."

Zhao Ran asked: "I heard that Abbot Du came to Sichuan last year because he was appointed directly by Lushan General View?"

"good!"

Now, Zhao Ran finally felt the seriousness of the situation. (A good activity with a pie falling from the sky, a cool phone is waiting for you to get it!
