Pawn Crossing the River

Although Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu's positions and grades are not very high, they have high backgrounds. One is from the Yao family and the other is from the Li family. They do not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. In addition, they are half imperial envoys. Therefore, the standard of the reception banquet is quite high, and people from all walks of life are present to receive the reception.

When the banquet is over, it's time to talk about business. Qi Xuansu first asked Xie Jiaofeng to arrange for others to rest, and then invited Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu to his signing room.

Chen Jianchou also came over and bowed to the two noble ladies first. He did not expect that in just one month, he would meet several legendary figures in succession, first Zhang Yuelu, and then Yao Pei. Although Li Changge was not there, Li Zhuyu could take his place. Although Chen Jianqiu is far away in Borneo, he is still a motivated young man who is determined to enter the Taoist sect. He must have a full understanding of the internals of the Taoist sect. If you don't even know the three talents of the Taoist sect, then what is the understanding of the Taoist sect? By the way, it should be the fourth show of Taoism now.

Compared with the strong Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei has a different style. If Zhang Yuelu is yang, then Yao Pei is yin. If he accidentally offends two women, Zhang Yuelu will probably fight back openly, while Yao Pei will probably keep silent. Revenge loudly.

Yao Pei said: "I have heard of you."

Chen Jianchou was even more shocked.

How virtuous and capable he is.

Li Zhuyu continued: "You are the hero of this change in Shenglong Mansion. Chief Qi and Second Chief Xu recommended you. The key is that you are not a formal Taoist priest, but a failed Taoist boy. It is so strange. Many people are talking about you. We can't even think about it. Otherwise, why do you think you can be Chief Qi's secretary if you are not an official Taoist priest?

? This is special treatment for heroes. "

Yao Pei asked: "Are you planning to take the exam in August?"

Chen Jianchou nodded and said, "Yes."

Yao Pei said: "Take the exam well. With your merit this time, after passing the exam, Ziweitang will directly solve your grade problem."

Chen Jianqiu suppressed his excitement and began to introduce the current specific situation of Lion City to the two, including the investigation of Nanyang United Trading Company and the recent riots in Lion City.

After listening, Yao Pei said: "It's just an external force. It doesn't have such great ability. It must be an internal force that cooperates with the outside."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is exactly why I invited you two here."

Yao Pei asked: "What did fellow Taoist Qingxiao say?"

Qi Xuansu glanced at Li Zhuyu: "Qingxiao thinks that 'Tianting' is also involved."

Li Zhuyu's expression was not strange.

There are also differences within the Li family. In terms of seniority, "Be true to the Tao and follow the law, and you will have destiny." Qingwei real person Li Wujia is a generation with the character "you", one generation older than Li Tianzhen. He only has one adopted daughter, Li Zhuyu. Li Tianzhen is not his son. From this, it can be clearly seen that Li Tianzhen is not from the Qingwei Zhenren's group. Li Tianzhen, Li Tianlan and others are from the same group. This can be seen from the Zhang Guquan case. Li Tianlan's inaction finally forced Qingwei Zhenren to He had to compromise with the Zhang family.

This is not surprising. When he was young, Qingwei Zhenren was extremely talented, despised his family elders, disobeyed discipline, and often acted unexpectedly. Li Tianyue, Li Tianlan, Li Minghuang's adoptive father Li Tianqing and others often had conflicts with Zhenren Qingwei. Qingwei's biggest act of rebellion was to change his name.

He changed "you" to "no" and called himself Li Wugou, which was taken from "Zhi Ming Cave is quiet, Zhi Qing Wugou" to express his ambition. At that time, many Li family members talked privately, and some even made ridicule. Wouldn't it be better to simply change his surname to Zhang Wugou and become the brother of the Heavenly Master?

The seeds of the conflict were planted at this time, and have not eased over the years. It is just that the national master is suppressing them, so they can only do something secretly.

However, Li Changge was an anomaly. He seemed to be on the side of Master Qingwei and helped Master Qingwei deal with Zhang Kuquan's problem. Li Tianlan did not dare to embarrass the little national master, and both sides agreed with him. The title of "Little Imperial Master" is very revealing. Master Qingwei has never been called "Little Imperial Master". It means a "good saint grandson" no matter how you look at it, even though Li Changge is not Li Changgeng's grandson.

In the second major case of Jinling Mansion, "Tian Ting" came forward to help Li Tianlan do the dirty work and clean up the mess. Li Tianzhen has a close relationship with "Tian Ting". In other words, "Tian Ting" may not necessarily be a person from Zhenwei Qingwei.

As for Li Tianzhen, he is young after all. By the time he reaches adulthood, Master Qingwei will no longer be rebellious. There is no chance of conflict between the two. Moreover, Master Qingwei has a high position at this time, and Li Tianzhen is not qualified to conflict with Master Qingwei. .

But things are not that simple. Li Tianzhen has a potential competitor, of course not Li Changge, but Li Zhuyu. Nowadays, people say that Li Tianzhen is the son of the Li family, so there seems to be no problem. But if the Imperial Master is no longer here, then the Li family will respect Zhenren Qingwei. Li Zhuyu cannot replace Li Changge, nor can he replace Li Tian

Chastity? If Master Qingwei becomes the Grand Master, then the Grand Master's only adopted daughter will most likely be the third most important figure in the Li family, second only to Master Qingwei and Li Changge, and will surpass Li Tianzhen.

The Li family is monolithic compared to the Zhang family and Quanzhen Taoism. This does not mean that the Li family has no internal conflicts at all. That is unrealistic.

Qi Xuansu saw this exactly, so he mentioned "Tianting" in front of Li Zhuyu.

As expected by Qi Xuansu, Li Zhuyu's reaction was very indifferent, at least not the least bit nervous.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Now there is probably collusion between three parties, namely: certain people within our Taoist government, the 'Tianting', and the Holy Court. So I invited two people to come over. Fengxiantang will investigate the interior, and Beichentang will focus on the attack. The power of the Holy Court. As for the 'Heavenly Court', we can let it go for now."

Yao Pei said: "I represent Fengxian Hall this time, and leave the internal investigation to me. As for combating the infiltration forces of the Holy Court, I'll leave it to Deputy Hall Master Li."

Li Zhuyu nodded and said, "No problem."

Qi Xuansu added: "I am not very familiar with how to combat external forces such as the Holy Court, except for using violent means such as spiritual officers, so I will not give random instructions. However, I still have some knowledge about internal investigations."

Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu with eyes that seemed to be awake.

Qi Xuansu said: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the real person in charge, Wang Jiaohe. This real person Wang is very cunning, and it is difficult to open a breakthrough from him. However, Zhenren Wang also has weaknesses, That is the Wang family behind him. The key figures are: Wang Jiaoying and Wang Jiaoyan.

, Wang Danqing, I think it is best for Suyi to start with Wang Danqing. "

Yao Pei lowered his eyes and said, "I have heard of this man who shot you in Ziweitang."

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I have no intention of avenging private revenge."

This is true. Now, Qi Xuansu no longer cares about the little Wang Danqing. If Wang Jiaohe came over now and said that he could plead guilty and submit to the law, and the only condition was to let Wang Danqing go, then Qi Xuansu would probably agree. Qi Xuansu didn't even think that Wang Danqing had the ability to retaliate against him, and there was no danger of raising a tiger.

This is contempt and conceit.

Yao Pei thought for a while and said: "Many of the high-quality Taoist priests who have fallen in recent years were because of troubles with their Taoist companions or their children. This idea is not bad."

Qi Xuansu gave Chen Jianchou a look, and Chen Jianchou sent up the prepared files.

Yao Pei took it and turned it over casually, taking a glance at it and never forgetting it.

"Sun family." Yao Pei said thoughtfully.

Qi Xuansu said: "There is no official marriage between the Sun family and the Wang family, but Sun Heyu's daughter-in-law and Wang Jiaohe's sister Wang Jiaoyan are junior sisters from the same school. Sun Heyu's son Sun Jiaofeng and Wang Jiaoyan are partners in business. The business is today’s Nanyang United Trading Company.”

Yao Pei listed several names: "Sun Heyu, Sun Jiaofeng, Sun Yaoping, Wang Jiaoyan, Lin Tianhe, Xu Youyi, Du Yuhua."

Du Yuhua is the secretary of the great master in charge. This great master is the predecessor of Master Landa. Unlike Master Landa, who is undisciplined and lazy, this great master is very arbitrary in taking power. Du Yuhua gave birth to a grandson for this great person.

After that, she was promoted much faster than Xu Jiaorong. It was not until Da Zhenren ascended that she lost her backstage and had to retire to the mountains. Her son still stayed in the Borneo Taoist mansion and married Sun Heyu's granddaughter, who was Sun Yaoping's brother-in-law.

Although Du Yuhua is no longer the chief deputy palace master, her influence cannot be underestimated. The old relationship for many years is still there, and she is also a big shot who can change the clouds and rain with her hands.

Qi Xuansu said: "Both Sun Yaoping and Xu Youyi are in our hands. Xu Youyi is temporarily detained in Dongdu Mansion in Lingnan Province, and Sun Yaoping is detained in Sheji Palace in Shenglong Mansion. You can interrogate them at any time."

Yao Pei asked: "What are the names of Sun Yaoping's sister and brother-in-law? There is only one mention here, why is there no file on them?"

Chen Jianchou hurriedly said: "Sun Yaoping's brother-in-law is the son of Du Yuhua, Du Zhenren, named Du Fuzhou. Because some things are difficult to say openly, Du Yuhua has always claimed to be his adopted son. "

Yao Pei asked again: "Where is Du Fuzhou's father?"

Chen Jianchou hesitated for a moment and looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said: "The son of Pingzhang Daren is very incompetent. After Pingzhang Daren ascended, Du Yuhua fell out with him and refused to let his son recognize him. He has been living in Yujing for decades. Having never returned to Borneo should have nothing to do with this matter.”

Yao Pei nodded and asked, "How is Du Fuzhou?"

Chen Jianqiu said: "She is very low-key and reclusive. We don't know much about her. However, Sun Yaoping's sister, Sun Yaozhen, has a very good relationship with Wang Danqing. They are considered young."

Yao Pei said: "The news that we came to Borneo is not a secret.

Secretly, these people on the surface will definitely be on guard. Even if they are careless, Wang Jiaohe will definitely remind them, so attacking these people head-on may not have very good results. My opinion is that in addition to stepping up the interrogation of Sun Yaoping and Xu Youyi, we should start with Du Fuzhou and Sun Yaozhen to catch them by surprise. "

Qi Xuansu said: "That's it."
