Chapter One Sixty Nine
In the center of the complex stands a tall building, although it is only one floor but it is three floors high.
Inside the empty building, Gao Mang sat on a seat on the platform. Below him were half-ringed seats, and some people were sitting there.
The conference hall that can accommodate more than 500 people has only twenty or thirty people coming at this moment. How can it not seem empty?
Zheng Sanniang was afraid that Gao Mang would not be able to bear the face, so she quietly sent a message to Gao Mang: "Little Langjun, everyone is busy now, maybe they will come in a while."
Gao Mang had no expression on his face. No matter what, he, the third person, came to the headquarters for the first time and convened a meeting of officials from various departments of the Ninth Supervision Department for the first time. Now there are such a few people, which is really a slap in the face.
This also shows that his influence is indeed not enough, at least not as great as he imagined.
Looking at the twenty people sitting below, most of them were his confidants brought from Luoyang and several of their confidants’ friends. Everyone felt embarrassed and had no place to sit there.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen people came to the hall, but less than half of the hundred people Gao Mang counted.
OK, that's intentional.
The few young officials who were making soy sauce were already showing jokes on their faces, whispering, and seeing Gao Mang's joke.
Gao Mang stood up and said crisply: "Xinghe, Shen Fang, go and guard the gate of Tianyun Department. Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave!"
Shen Xinghe and Shen Fang were stunned for a moment, then crossed their hands to take the order, turned around and left.
"Little Langjun," a big man below stood up, looked at Gao Mang with a provocative gaze, and said rudely, "The officials of all departments of the Ninth Supervision have important matters, and it is normal for them to not attend the meeting. If you do this, you may mess up the affairs of the Tianyun Department."
Gao Mang said lightly: "Isn't it messy before? If you have any prospects, you will not be overwhelmed by the Shadow Department and be called out by the powerful and powerful."
This was too harsh, but it was the truth. The venue was silent. The big man questioning Gao Mang's face turned red, gasping heavily, and staring at Gao Mang with big eyes.
Perhaps weighing the pros and cons, the man finally gave up on his hard work and sat back on his seat, crossed his hands and hugged his chest, as if waiting to see how Gao Mang ended.
Sure enough, a short while, a noise came from outside the hall. Several officials from the Tianyun Department walked in angrily, bowed to Gao Mang from afar, and shouted: "Little Langjun, we are all responsible for important matters, why should we stop us from leaving?"
Gao Mang smiled and said, "Everyone is at ease. Please wait for a moment. I will give you an explanation."
Seeing that Gao Mang was not good at taking it, and Gao Mang's identity was indeed special, it was not easy to have an attack, so he had to sit down in depression.
After that, two or three more people came, and they were also dissatisfied with questioning Gao Mang, and they were all left at the venue with a smile.
Some of them were indeed wronged because they were busy with official duties and had no time to take care of Gao Mang's side, while others deliberately refused to come to see this No. 3 person.
Among these people who deliberately mean it, some were Feng Guangxiao's confidants, some were Li Cong of King Qing, and some were later joined by Tianyun Department. They had never been in the friendship of Sima Chengzhen, so naturally they could not give Gao Mang the face.
Another point is that Gao Mang is too young except for Sima Chengzhen's identity as a disciple who is closed. No one's immediate boss is a six-year-old child, and no one will feel at ease.
What's more, this number three person is a relative and was airborne. Has he done anything to Tianyun Department and made any contributions?
In the conference hall, several veterans of Tianyun Department were also dissatisfied with the qualifications. They came to support Sima Xianshi, but Gao Mang really didn't know what to do.
Perhaps in order to make the overall situation the most important thing, they discussed it privately, walked out of the hall one by one, and took seven or eight small officials into the venue in a moment.
Well, I can’t let this young man continue to mess around anymore, otherwise everyone would not be brave enough to do anything today and would be exhausted here.
Gao Mang looked at the venue condescendingly, well, not bad, more than 80 people came, although it was not as good as expected, but it was OK.
Standing up, Gao Mang looked around everyone, waiting for the venue to calm down.
Immediately, he bowed to the east capital Luoyang, then turned to everyone, and said loudly: "Transfer the saint's oral order!"
Everyone at the venue was shocked, stood up one after another, bowed slightly with their hands clasped their fists, waiting for Gao Mang to pass the order.
Many people cursed in their hearts, "You little bastard, if you had already said you came with the saint's oral order, who would dare not come to the venue?"
Now, those who didn't come will be settled by the autumn after.
As long as Gao Mang puts a hat on you, even you dare to neglect the sage's oral instructions. Wouldn't you just take it casually?
While cursing Gao Mang's cunning, they were also secretly glad that they had come, whether voluntarily or forced.
Gao Mang said loudly: "The current priority of Tianyun Department is to hunt down the remnants of Manichaeism. The nine supervisors of Tianyun Department must cooperate with the young man without neglecting it!"
"Here!" Everyone sang in unison, saluted towards the east capital, and saluted Gao Mang again.
Gao Mang nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zheng Sanniang beside him: "Sanniang, let's start."
The Tianyun Department secretly investigated the supervisor, Zheng Sanniang, and strode to the front of the stage. With a gesture, the giant curtain hanging behind the platform slowly fell down, which was a map of Chang'an City.
Zheng Sanniang said loudly: "Everyone, refuse to check, Manichae Mujapatimo, now he is hiding in Chang'an City."
A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the conference hall, and many people looked at the Chang'an map behind Zheng Sanniang in surprise. They never expected that Patimo would be hidden under their noses.
An intelligence official asked in a deep voice: "Sanniang, is the information true?"
Zheng Sanniang nodded: "Deputy Supervisor Chen, the information comes from three parties, it is credible!"
Everyone is an old man from Tianyun Department. Deputy Supervisor Chen no longer doubts. He sat down and stood up again, clasped his fists at Gao Mang and said, "The intelligence supervisor missed this information. I am so humble and responsible. Please punish me!"
Gao Mang said lightly: "I have no intention of pursuing anyone today. I just hope that everyone will work together to arrest Patimo as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Gao Mang signaled Zheng Sanniang to continue.
Gao Mang's method is actually very stupid. He divided the 108 yards of Chang'an City into ten areas, plus the east and west cities, and all the investigation and intelligence personnel from Tianyun Department conducted a carpet-style search.
So after Zheng Sanniang finished introducing the matter, many officials present expressed their doubts.
In fact, they didn't dare to find Gao Mang to make trouble. After all, the saints have spoken out. Chasing the remnants of Manichaeism is the top priority, and they all have to cooperate with Gao Mang.
Their doubts are just based on the facts. Gao Mang's approach is too easy to alarm the enemy and waste manpower in vain.
After all, Pattimo is the supreme leader of Manichi, with countless believers and friends in Chang'an City. It is really unlikely that he wants to find people on a large scale.
Gao Mang vetoed everyone with one force and said stubbornly: "Just implement it as planned."
Of course he would not tell everyone that he was just trying to alert the snake, but what was alarmed was the snake hidden inside the Tianyun Department.
