Pawn Crossing the River

Of course, Qi Xuansu's methods cannot be hidden from the Gong family. Let's not talk about others, just Miss Gong. As long as you calm down and think about it afterwards, you can find all the strange things in it.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu said that this was a dangerous situation for the army. If it was not handled well, it would easily lead to internal conflicts.

But there was no other way. The key was that there was no progress on Kukulkan's side, so Qi Xuansu had to find a breakthrough from Lin Bufan.

Because of this, after Qi Xuansu and Tantaiying captured Lin Bufan, they first asked Tantaiying to interrogate Lin Bufan, while Qi Xuansu immediately went to see Gong Da Zhenren.

In the final analysis, Gong Da Zhen is the person in charge of the Gong family. As long as Gong Da Zhen has no objection, there will be no problem.

Qi Xuansu came to Danxiu Mountain and asked to see Gong Da. Because of Qi Xuansu's special status, Gong Da immediately met him.

At this time, Master Gong Da didn’t know about Lin Bufan, so Qi Xuansu was playing with the time difference. If Master Gong Da knew about the matter through other channels and had preconceived ideas, the effect of Qi Xuansu’s report would be greatly reduced, but Qi Xuansu is the first to report, so there is a lot of room for improvement.

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point, "I came to see Master Gong Da this time because I have something to report to Master Gong Da."

Master Gong Da smiled and said, "You are the special envoy of the Taoist sect. If you want to report, you have to report to Jinque or Master Qingwei. I am not your boss." ??

Qi Xuansu said, "You can't say that. Daomen and Xidaomen are one family. And this matter has something to do with Master Gong Da."

Master Gong Da has been in charge of Xidaomen for many years, so he naturally heard the deeper meaning from Qi Xuansu's words and said, "Okay, you can report it."

Qi Xuansu took out the file given to him by Tantai Ying and handed it to Master Gong Da, "Master Da, please read the file."

Master Gong Da reached out his hand to take the file and read it quickly, his expression unchanged, "Has it been verified?"

Qi Xuansu then briefly recounted what happened at the birthday party, and finally said, "That's the situation. I have all Lin Bufan and those women under control."

Master Gong Da naturally heard the strangeness in this immediately, but he did not point it out. Instead, he said, "This Lin Bufan actually did such a thing. The impact is really bad."

Qi Xuansu said, "I want to review this matter with Master Gong. The incident happened suddenly, and my handling of it was a bit erratic, which affected the reputation of the Gong family."

Master Gong Da opened the file again. "If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Can the things in this file be hidden from me, the old man, my granddaughter, and the people below? It's like holding an umbrella." , looking from top to bottom, you can only see

Each beautiful umbrella can be seen from the bottom up, or at the level, and the things under the umbrella can be seen at a glance. Not to mention others, didn’t Tantai Ying already know about it? Others have already seen the joke, you just made it clear. "

Master Gong Da's words made Qi Xuansu feel a little relieved. Master Gong Da still had a pattern. He didn't get angry or fall out with Qi Xuansu. He recognized Qi Xuansu's actions.

But looking at it from another perspective, it can also be said that Gong Da Zhenren has a palace. Even if he is dissatisfied with Qi Xuansu's actions, he will not fall out on the spot, but it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

Qi Xuansu still had to find some remedies. "The reason why I asked Chief Tantai to investigate Lin Bufan is not because I have any objections to Lin Bufan. After all, I have not been in the New World for a long time. I have never known Lin Bufan before, and it is impossible to communicate with Lin Bufan." Any grudges Bufan has are purely due to official business. I suspect that Lin Bufan has something to do with the ancient gods."

Master Gong Da raised his eyebrows, "Seriously?"

Qi Xuansu was not completely sure, but at this time he still said, "We are inseparable."

Master Gong Da was truly silent this time.

The three major forces within Xidaomen each have their own emphasis. The Tantai family cooperates with the ancient gods, the Gong family controls the army, and the Huangfu family has a close relationship with the royal family. Qi Xuansu first attacked the royal family, and now he has moved Lin Bufan of the Gong family, and next he will continue to target the ancient gods. In a sense, this can be regarded as reaching a certain balance.

Qi Xuansu's words showed his position and attitude. He was dedicated to serving the public good and did not want to participate in the internal fighting of Xidaomen.

Gong Da Zhenren was not concerned about this, but Lin Bufan's involvement with the ancient gods. This was also a conceptual betrayal in a certain sense.

Without waiting for Master Gong Da to ask questions, Qi Xuansu took the initiative to explain all his speculations.

After listening to Qi Xuansu's report, Master Gong Da said, "In that case, go and investigate. I have no objection."

Qi Xuansu stood up and said, "Thank you, Master Gong Da, for your support."

Although the Gong family lost some face, Qi Xuansu took the initiative to report to Gong Da Zhenren, which was considered as a way to make up for it. From another perspective, this is also an act of establishing authority. After all, Lin Bufan is not a real member of the palace family, but a foreigner. Whether he is looking for a woman behind Miss Gong's back or colluding with an ancient god, it is all a form of betrayal. For example, now that Lin Bufan has been taken down, it shows one thing. It is not good to betray the Gong family.

The end.

In short, Qi Xuansu's report was effective. Out of various considerations, Master Gong Da still approved Qi Xuansu's decision to kill first and report later.

The next step is to interrogate Lin Bufan.

Qi Xuansu came to the main hall of Juesheng Church, where Lin Bufan was temporarily detained. Tantai Ying had already begun a preliminary interrogation, but Lin Bufan refused to explain, and the confrontation was very obvious.

Qi Xuansu replaced Tantai Ying and began to interrogate him in person, but Tantai Ying did not leave either, so he changed from chief trial to jury. Towards

"Second seat Lin." Qi Xuansu said.

Lin Bufan glanced at Qi Xuansu, "Chief Qi, I really don't understand. I have never offended you. I never dare to neglect your orders, but why do you want to harm me like this?"

Qi Xuansu said, "Of course you have not offended me, but do you really never neglect my orders? I don't think so. You diverted my attention from the Tide of Shadows to the Heron Society. Who ordered you?" of?"

Of course Lin Bufan refused to explain, but said, "I don't understand what Chief Qi said. Chief Qi asked me to collect information, and I did it. Even if Chief Qi doesn't approve, there is no need to falsely accuse me like this."

Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry, "Lin Bufan, you don't have to imagine that someone is coming to save you. Miss Gong will not save you, and Master Gong will not save you. I just came back from Master Gong, and Master Gong is very disappointed in you. ”

Lin Bufan suddenly stopped talking.

I have to say that Lin Bufan was indeed a bit lucky.

This fluke mentality certainly comes from the Gong family.

The Gong family has invested a lot of resources in Lin Bufan. If Lin Bufan fails like this, then these invested resources will be wasted, and the Gong family may not be willing to do this.

According to Westerners, this is called sunk cost.

Just like a man pursuing a woman because he spent too much money on the woman, even if the man is no longer interested in the woman, considering the cost he has invested, he cannot break up easily.

Therefore, Lin Bufan believed that the Gong family would save him. Even if the Gong family did not care about friendship, they still had to consider these sunk costs.

But Lin Bufan never expected that Qi Xuansu could persuade the Gong family.

Is Qi Xuansu's face so great?

Lin Bufan was hesitant and worried that Qi Xuansu was deliberately deceiving him.

Qi Xuansu didn't say much to him, "Since you don't believe it, let's wait for three days and see if there is any

No one comes to rescue you. "

With that, Qi Xuansu ended the first interrogation.

Qi Xuansu also has some experience in this regard. If it is left to dry for a few days, isolated from the inside and outside, and without any news from the outside, these people will become anxious and even attack themselves.

This is all about the real and the deceptive. You should deceive when you need to deceive, and you should apply pressure when you need to apply pressure, but don't apply pressure all the time. It is not possible to achieve good results if you keep trying. If Qi Xuansu gets anxious, Lin Bufan will know that Qi Xuansu does not have any substantial evidence, so he will be confident. If Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry, Lin Bufan would have no bottom, and it was Lin Bufan who was in a hurry. After all, there is also an issue of initiative and passivity. Lin Bufan's question will definitely not lead to death. Whether he takes the initiative to explain will also affect a series of subsequent issues.

The so-called interrogation, without using violent means, is mainly a psychological game. That's why there is a saying: "If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will go to jail; if you resist, you will be strict, and you will go home to celebrate the New Year."

Of course, if violence is used, then there is no point in confessing and resisting. People can judge whatever they say. The right to interpret the law rests with others.

It's almost the end of the year, and Qi Xuansu can't go back to celebrate the New Year. However, Taoist sects don't pay attention to this. Officially, Taoist sects don't care about traditional festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day. The most important thing for Taoist sects is Sanyuan Festival, which falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Shangyuan Festival, July 15th Hungry Ghost Festival, October 15th Xiayuan Festival. Among them, the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the most solemn, with blessings from heavenly officials.

But Qi Xuansu also couldn't go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival, so he could only stay alone in the southern continent as a stranger in a foreign land, missing his family even more during the festive season.

Speaking of missing family members, Qi Xuansu still wanted to greet his family. He first greeted his master, and then contacted Qiniang.

Qiniang is celebrating the Lantern Festival in Jinling Mansion this year. After the Lantern Festival, she will send Xiao Yin back.

Qi Xuansu briefly said a few words to Qiniang, and then asked Qiniang to bring Xiao Yin over because he wanted to talk to Xiao Yin.

Qiniang was not jealous of Xiao Yin. This was probably a second-generation marriage, so she happily hugged Xiao Yin who was eating candied haws.

As Qi Xuansu gets older, his attitude toward children changes again and again. At first, he felt they were dispensable and even a little impatient. At this time, his heart was cold and hard, but then he gradually softened. , especially if the child is sensible and cute, then I can’t let go.

Otherwise, after a man has a child, he can no longer be strong-willed, and his risk plummets.

Men at this time are full of weaknesses, which are particularly easy to manipulate.
