Pawn Crossing the River

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. If your behavior is higher than others, everyone will reject you. If the embankment is higher than the shore, waves will destroy it.

If a person walks too fast and is ahead of others, he will inevitably be attacked.

When Qi Xuansu had just eliminated Wang Jiaohe and others, it could be said that the sun was at its peak, and no one dared to take action rashly at this time. After all, Qi Xuansu was able to shock the Borneo Taoist government because someone behind him wanted to shock the Borneo Taoist government. Applying eye drops to Qi Xuansu at this time would not only hit Qi Xuansu's face, but also be considered to be the person behind Qi Xuansu. .

The situation is complicated.

Donghua Zhenren has stood firm for so many years. If you go against him, what good consequences can there be? If Master Donghua could be overthrown so easily, then why wait until now? Doesn’t Master Qingwei, who regards Master Donghua as his top enemy, not want to?

However, Qi Xuansu's retreat this time still allowed many people to see opportunities.

After all, Qi Xuansu was not here and could not react immediately, which gave him a lot of room for manipulation. Moreover, Qi Xuansu, as the chief deputy palace master, has always had a delicate relationship with the real man in charge, Yao Shu. A strong chief deputy master will inevitably undermine the authority of the real man in charge. When it comes to power, there will be no harmony. , let alone tenderness. This is also a point that can be exploited.

On the third day after Qi Xuansu went into seclusion, a female Taoist priest named Zheng Zaishi submitted a 30,000-word letter to the real person in charge of the palace, Yao Shu, reporting her real name to the chief deputy palace owner Qi Xuansu for his moral corruption and style. Depravity, lack of faith, and serious violation of Taoist teachings.

First, although Qi Xuansu never accepted bribes directly, his methods were more sophisticated. He controlled most of the shares of Nanyang United Trading Company through various means. In addition to the 30% of the shares directly controlled by the Taoist government, the second largest shareholder The boss behind the scenes is Qi Xuansu, so all kinds of personnel appointments come from Qi Xuansu's will. For example, Chen Shuwen, the chairman of the board of directors of Nanyang United Trading Company, is Qi Xuansu who is arbitrary and arbitrary, without any discussion at all, and the so-called election is just a formality.

The second point is to form cliques for personal gain, and those who share the same party will defeat those who are different. In today's Borneo Taoist Prefecture, there is a small group headed by Qi Xuansu, including Xu Jiaorong, Ji Jiaozhen, Pei Xiaolou, Xie Jiaofeng, Sun Yongfeng, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng and others, who suppress and exclude other Taoist friends.

The third point is that Qi Xuansu secretly cultivated his close businessmen and engaged in profit transfer. Huan Ji from Fenglin Trading Company was originally just a small businessman worth mentioning. During the Fenglinzhou War, she met Qi Xuansu. By recommending herself as a pillow, she became Qi Xuansu's mistress. With Qi Xuansu's support, she suddenly became a businesswoman traveling in the Central Plains. , Fenglinzhou and Borneo's big businessmen. Fan Ji actually became Qi Xuansu's pocketbook, providing Qi Xuansu with up to 200,000 Taiping Yuan for personal expenses every year. In order to maintain her favor, Fan Ji often personally purchased various women to serve Qi Xuansu together.

The fourth point is collusion with secret societies. Although Qi Xuansu attacked the Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult, he had close contacts with Ziguang Society, Qibaofang, and the Eight Tribes. For example, Master Yuheng of Ziguang Society, Master Yao of Qibaofang, Shangguanya of the Eight Tribes, etc. These secret societies have actually become Qi Xuansu's black gloves, specifically doing some shady things for him, such as through assassinations. To eradicate dissidents and launder huge amounts of money from unknown sources, Ziguang Society even specially selects some beautiful members to serve Qi Xuansu.

The fifth point is naturally a matter of men and women. In addition to the aforementioned Fan Ji, there are many others, including Yuheng Star Master, Yao Fang Master, Shangguan Ya, Ke Qingqing, Mu Jin, Lu Yuting, Xu Jiaorong, Qi Muyu, Chen Jianqiu, Du Yuhua and more than a dozen people . In addition, Qi Xuansu often brings a little girl named Yin with him, which is simply outrageous to both humans and gods, and cannot be tolerated by nature.

Among them, Ke Qingqing was Qi Xuansu's former secretary, and Mu Jin was Zhang Yuelu's secretary. Qi Xuansu took advantage of his relationship with Zhang Yuelu to "eat" these two people one after another without telling Zhang Yuelu.

Xu Jiaorong is a real lady. As the saying goes, although a lady is old, she is still passionate. Although Xu Jiaorong is much older than Qi Xuansu, it is enough to be his mother, but Qi Xuansu has not had a mother since she was a child, so she loves her the most. This kind of middle-aged lady has a loving husband and a concubine. Qi Xuansu had a heated relationship with Xu Jiaorong as soon as he came to Borneo. He not only accepted Xu Jiaorong's adopted son Chen Jianqiu as his secretary, but also strongly recommended Xu Jiaorong to Jinque. Xu Jiaorong used various deceptive methods to win Jinque's trust, and finally pushed Xu Jiaorong to the throne of the second deputy palace master. Xu Jiaorong also reciprocated the favor. He not only spoke favorably for Qi Xuansu to the great master in charge, but also agreed with Qi Xuansu on everything in Taoist affairs, almost becoming Qi Xuansu's yes man. Chen Jianchou simply called Qi Xuansu his "adopted father" in private.

Then there is Chen Jianqiu. Why did a little girl like her become the head of the Yu Kingdom? It's not because of Qi Xuansu. As early as when they were in Yujing, Qi Xuansu had already hooked up with Qi Muyu. On weekdays, the two of them referred to each other as siblings, and they were essentially lovers. Later, in order to please Qi Xuansu, Qi Muyu took the initiative to make connections and introduced Chen Jianqiu to Qi Xuansu at the cocktail party to welcome Qi Xuansu. Chen Jianqiu's exotic charm amazed Qi Xuansu. Just after the reception, he took Chen Jianqiu back to the room. After that, the two often met in a Western bookstore. Later, Chen Shuzhen was executed, and Qi Xuansu promoted Chen Jianqiu to the position of leader of the country.

All in all, Qi Xuansu is simply a lustful ghost who takes advantage of all ages and refuses to accept anyone who comes.

The female Taoist priest who reported Qi Xuansu said that as Qi Xuansu's subordinate, she was also harassed by Qi Xuansu. Once Qi Xuansu asked her to go to his custody room alone. At first, Qi Xuansu was very polite and asked her to sit down and report. But halfway through the report, Qi Xuansu got up and came behind her, putting his hands on hers. shoulders and blow into the back of her neck. Fortunately, at this time, Chen Jianchou came to inform Qi Xuansu that she was going to attend an impromptu meeting held by a real person in charge of the government, so she was able to escape. However, Chen Jianchou also seemed not to be surprised, which shows that Qi Xuansu has been doing this kind of thing a lot.

Such a report letter involves the chief deputy palace master, which cannot be decided by Yao Shu alone. What's more, Yao Shu has not broken up with Qi Xuansu, and there is not even a gap. It can only be said that they are not so close, so Yao Shu Shu also had no motive for keeping it secret, so Yao Shu forwarded the letter to Lan Hexu, the great master in charge.

No matter how indifferent Mr. Landa is, he cannot remain indifferent when encountering such a thing. After all, this report letter also indirectly involves him. For example, Xu Jiaorong said a good word for Qi Xuansu mentioned here. If this is true, does it give people the feeling that he is an old fool? He was fooled around by the people below, who believed whatever they said and had no sense of judgment at all. So where was the face of the Great Master Pingzhang?

However, Mr. Lan Da is an old man from the Taoist sect. No matter how displeased he is, he will not express his position easily when the situation is unclear, at least openly, so he handed this report letter to Sun Yongfeng.

Sun Yongfeng was such a good person, he understood immediately and passed it on to Zhang Yuelu through the special channel of Pingzhang Daren.

Don't forget, Sun Yongfeng's name also appears on this report letter, and he is listed as a member of Qi Xuansu's party. Of course Sun Yongfeng would feel uncomfortable.

But having said that, if there really is such a small group, and Qi Xuansu is the leader, then Zhang Yuelu is the deputy leader. Maybe the person who planned this matter is afraid of Tianshi and the Zhang family, so he did not involve Zhang Yuelu and portrayed Zhang Yuelu as a victim. The image of the person was kept in the dark by Qi Xuansu. But no one can deny that the person Qi Xuansu trusts the most is Zhang Yuelu.

After Zhang Yuelu received this report letter, he was naturally angry.

She believed in Qi Xuansu and knew that Qi Xuansu would not do such a thing. But if this matter gets serious, not only will Qi Xuansu's reputation be affected, but she will also not be able to escape. To put it more vulgarly, this letter directly created more than a dozen cuckolds for her, and she was "kept in the dark." In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, Landa is an old fool, and she is a little fool.

But Zhang Yuelu was Zhang Yuelu after all. After calming down, he immediately determined one thing. This will not be an individual act, but a premeditated attack, behind which is the careful planning of one force.

There are many things here that an ordinary person in charge cannot know, such as Chen Jianqiu's Western bookstore, as well as the existence of Yuheng Star Master and Shangguan Ya. If we can find out these things, our power will never be reduced. ..

Of course, the biggest suspect must be Taipingdao. But the biggest suspicion does not mean that it must be Taiping Dao. It may also be that someone has played a trick of diverting misfortune - since everyone thinks that Taiping Dao is the most suspicious, it can just be blamed on Taiping Dao, which can not only attack Qi Xuansu, but also Being able to cause trouble for Taiping Road kills two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the Three Paths is a big concept, just like the concept of Westerners. The Kingdom of Rune, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Ibia are all Westerners, but they also fight with each other. There is me among you, and you among me. This is where everything goes wrong in the world. Why does Taiping Road appear to be the strongest? Because Taiping Road is the most united. If we were all one, there would be no concept of unity.

Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility of backstabbing from one of our own family members.

Take Zhengdao as an example. The fact that the Heavenly Master recognizes Qi Xuansu does not mean that all the Zhengyi forces, large and small, like Qi Xuansu. There are many people who think that Qi Xuansu is blocking the way. One can even think further that they may not be targeting Qi Xuansu, but maybe they are targeting Zhang Yuelu by attacking Qi Xuansu. After all, Qi Xuansu's neutrality is too strong. If he fails to compete for the Grand Master, he is likely to take over the position of the Master of the Zixiao Palace. This does not harm the interests of the Zhengdao people, but the position of Tianshi is different. But it is closely related.

According to this idea, Quanzhen Taoism is also very motivated. After all, Qi Xuansu is still in the name of Quanzhen Taoism, and he is very valued by Donghua Master. If Donghua Master becomes the seventh generation master, then it is very likely that Qi Xuansu will be appointed as the earth master instead of Yao Pei, then the Yao family will Not happy anymore.

In short, there is no evidence yet, everything is possible and further investigation is needed.

However, the top priority is not to find out who is behind the scenes, but to resolve the immediate crisis first and not make the matter bigger.

"I was on the road yesterday, but I will be home soon. There will be another chapter tonight, so I will resume normal updates."
