Pawn Crossing the River

Jinling Mansion, Zhenwu Temple.

Zhang Yuelu sat behind the desk with many files piled on the table. She was looking at it with her eyes and listening with her ears at the same time, doing both.

Pei Xiaolou continued to read the official letter sent by Jin Que: "...the investigation team consists of Li Mingzhi, deputy head of Duzhi Hall, Li Mingcheng, deputy head of Beichen Hall, Lu Yushu, deputy head of Fengxian Hall, deputy head of Tiangang Hall The investigation team is led by Yuelu, Lei Xiaohuan, the deputy head of Ziwei Hall, Pei Xiaolou, the assistant manager of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and Bai Yingqiong, the deputy head of Jiangnan Dafu. The others should cooperate closely and not slack off. . Pei Fuli Xiaolou and Zhang Yuelu Lanhan returned to Yujing."

Pei Xiaolou held the official letter and looked at Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu stopped browsing the files, raised his head, and looked at Pei Xiaolou.

Pei Xiaolou put the official letter in front of Zhang Yuelu and said: "Li Mingzhi and Li Mingcheng, the Li family brothers, plus Lu Yushu, who was born in the Lu family, are all people of Taiping Dao. Miss Zhang and Jiangnan Daofu Deputy Palace Master Bai is a member of the Zhengyi Dao, while Zhuo Jing and I are members of the Quanzhen Dao. This is very similar to the current situation. The Taiping Dao family is the dominant one. Only by joining forces can we suppress the Taiping Dao. One head.”

Zhang Yuelu said noncommittally: "When I was the Taoist priest in charge at Beichen Hall, Li Mingcheng was my boss, but we didn't get along very well. As for Deputy Palace Master Bai, she was my senior sister, but we were quite different in age. Big, she has lived in Putuo Island for many years and works in Jiangnan Province, while I live in Yujing. We don't see each other much on weekdays, and we can't say we have deep feelings. "

Pei Xiaolou asked: "Then what does Miss Zhang mean?"

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "I'm just afraid that I'll end up getting caught up in the quarrel and make this case unsolved and end up being left unsolved."

"Miss Zhang is worrying too much. After all, Zai Zhuojing is the leader appointed by Jinque, and we are four against three. I don't think the three people who came to Taiping Road can make any big waves." Pei Xiaolou was quite confident. In addition to the difference in numbers, the key point is that Lei Xiaohuan, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, is still at the stage of immeasurable heaven and human beings. There are many Zhizhiren, that is, at this level of cultivation. When necessary, Lei Xiaohuan can completely Convince people.

Zhang Yuelu did not agree: "One rat droppings ruins a pot of porridge, let alone three. It is not easy to achieve success, but it is not difficult to do bad things."

After all, she had already participated in a major Jiangnan case, which was also related to the Jiangnan Provincial Government. In the last investigation, although Master Cihang did not come forward in person, he did put in a lot of effort secretly. In addition, Jiangnan Daofu was where Cihang's family had been operating for many years. In the end, it was still difficult to advance, and he did not do all his work. Especially this time.

Pei Xiaolou did not despise Zhang Yuelu's judgment just because he was older and had a higher rank than Zhang Yuelu. Instead, he said: "At this point, the joint investigation of the case by the seven of us has become a foregone conclusion. It is useless to say more. It is better to wait for them to come over. Think long term.”

…

Feizhou Ferry outside Yujing City.

A majestic flying boat is parked here, which makes the spiritual officer responsible for guarding look particularly small.

Several Daomen-specific deer carts came from the city and stopped not far from the ramp of the flying boat.

A spiritual officer opened the door of the first deer cart, and the tall Lei Xiaohuan walked out.

The spiritual officer behind also opened the doors of other deer carts in turn, and Li Mingzhi, Li Mingcheng, and Lu Yushu got out of the car one after another.

In fact, both Li Mingzhi and Li Mingcheng were old acquaintances of Zhang Yuelu. When the Chiming Palace was discussing matters, both Li Mingzhi and Li Mingcheng attended the discussions, representing Duzhitang and Beichentang respectively, and were led by the real person in charge of Tiangangtang at that time. Ning Lingge presided over the discussion, and the discussion was about Zhang Yuelu's appointment as the deputy head of Tiangang Hall.

Li Mingzhi is a bit elegant and businessman-like, while Li Minghuang is a bit sinister. The two people's aura also perfectly reflects the difference between Duzhitang and Beichentang.

As for Lu Yushu, she is a woman who looks about the same age as Master Cihang. Her whole body exudes the dignity unique to ladies, but also a bit mean and sharp.

Speaking of which, this time seven people jointly investigated the case, and four of them were women, namely: Lei Xiaohuan, Zhang Yuelu, Lu Yushu, and Bai Yingqiong.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu, Pei Xiaolou, and Bai Yingqiong are already in Jinling Mansion. The other four people will now take a flying boat to Jinling Mansion to meet the three of them and conduct a thorough investigation of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce.

Li Mingzhi, Li Mingcheng, and Lu Yushu stood together, not too far away from Lei Xiaohuan. Although they did not speak, their camps were already clear.

Lei Xiaohuan didn't think too much, but took a few steps forward to say hello.

In any case, Lei Xiaohuan is the leading person in this investigation, and his rank and realm cultivation are higher than others.

No matter what the three of them thought, they all responded with somewhat polite smiles on their faces.

Li Mingzhi looked back at Yujing and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't left Yujing for many years. People say that Jinling Mansion is a world of flowers. How does it compare to Yujing?"

Lu Yushu said calmly: "Don't worry, no matter how good Yujing is, it will not be as good as Shili Qinhuai, and Jiangnan Daofu is more windy than Duzhitang."

Li Mingzhi was a little embarrassed by Lu Yushu's words.

This has nothing to do with camp, only men and women.

Lei Xiaohuan naturally heard it and followed suit: "We are here to investigate the case, not for fun."

Having said that, Lei Xiaohuan was the first to board the gangway.

Li Mingcheng, who had been silent until now, looked at Li Mingzhi with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone: "All the women in the Taoist sect are tigresses."

Li Mingzhi took it seriously and said, "That's right."

Lu Yushu stopped talking to the two of them and was the second to board the gangway.

After Li Mingzhi and Li Mingcheng looked at each other, they also walked up the gangway one after another.

When all four big shots boarded the ship, the spacecraft retracted its gangway and slowly took off.

…

The investigation this time involved a huge battle, no less than the last major Jiangnan case. Therefore, Jiangnan Daofu also attached great importance to it and deliberately emptied the entire Zhenwu Temple.

Speaking of Zhenwu Temple, it also has a great reputation. Not only is it the largest Taoist temple in Jinling City, but it is also backed by Zhenwu Lake and has an excellent view. It has hosted many Taoist figures. Even Mr. Jin, who was hiding behind the scenes, had been here before and vowed to make a difference in the future.

The entire Zhenwu Temple covers an area of ​​about ten acres, with more than 200 rooms, pavilions and pavilions. They are all typical Jiangnan gardens, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds. Each of the seven people has a separate courtyard to live in. Because the seven people also had some subordinates accompanying them, but the specific list of these subordinates was only in the hands of Lei Xiaohuan. The other six people only knew the list of their own subordinates, but did not know which subordinates others had brought with them.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu and Pei Xiaolou had already moved in in advance. The other four people are also on their way.

Among the seven, only one person is a little different, and that is Bai Yingqiong, the deputy head of Jiangnan Daofu. As a local landlord, although she has a place to live here, she spends most of her time at Jiangnan Daofu. He would only come over when there was a discussion.

After Zhang Yuelu came to Zhenwu Temple, he spent most of his time reading various files and materials, often staying up all night.

Although the investigation has not yet begun, Zhang Yuelu has undoubtedly made his attitude clear. Anyone who goes through the motions and tries to make a big issue into a trivial matter must first go through Zhang Yuelu's test.
