Eventually, the crane stopped in front of a dilapidated dwelling.

Qi Xuansu didn't rush to make a move, but just asked, "If we take this person, will we hand it over to Qingluanwei directly?" ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? ”

"What a thing." Qi Xuansu said solemnly, "This kind of goose tail can't be provoked, they can cheat people out of money, and naturally they will be more able to manipulate people's hearts, and the most penetrating human weakness is the most penetrating human nature, do you think I said that I can't hold it, it's nonsense?" ”

Zhang Yuelu let out an elongated "oh" in a long tone, and then asked, "Then what do you think it should be?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I think, these swindlers must have a lot of ill-gotten wealth in their hands, instead of handing over these swindlers to Qingluanwei, it is better for us to take this opportunity to make up for the shortfall. ”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't cry or laugh: "I blame you wrongly, you didn't fall in love with that female liar, but in her Taiping money." But this is stolen money, and it must be returned to the sufferer. ”

Qi Xuansu said disappreciatively: "Do you expect Qingluanwei's integrity? They don't ask for hardship, it's good to ask for money. Instead of cheapening Qingluanwei, it is better to cheapen us. ”

Of course, Qi Xuansu's words are not untargeted, not to mention anything else, Luzhou's Qingluan Wei Qianhu is in collusion with Taiping Dao, killing people and destroying people openly, what is the county order of breaking the family? Compared with Qingluanwei, it is a small thing.

Zhang Yuelu was a little hesitant, she also knew that the Daomen on the mountain and the court under the mountain could not be generalized, and the Daomen Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest would be ordered to resign because of the abuse of the servants, but it was nothing for the dignitaries of the court to kill a house slave at will. The situation that Qi Xuansu said does exist. But if they are asked to find the sufferers, first, they don't have the same energy, and second, it is difficult to find all the sufferers with the strength of just two people.

As for Qi Xuansu's thoughts, Zhang Yuelu is not surprised.

The disadvantage of the so-called flower garden Taoist is that he has been in the flower garden greenhouse for a long time and cannot withstand the slightest wind and rain, and the advantage is that he follows the rules and regulations, regards all kinds of etiquette and dogma as golden rules, and does not dare to exceed the slightest. Qi Xuansu, a wild Taoist priest, has the advantage of being able to withstand wind and rain, withstand all kinds of setbacks, and be extremely tenacious. The disadvantage is that they act casually, despise rules and etiquette, and most of them are not good people in the ordinary sense, half black and half white.

Among the nine halls, the other halls are just that, Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall are fists that beat people, Yujing Taoist has gradually degenerated from the elite who defeated Confucianism back then to the flower garden Taoist, and he is not competent, so since the beginning of the last generation of the Great Palm Sect, he has continuously transferred elite Taoist priests from the local Taoist government to enter Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall to fill the vacancy, which gave people like Qi Xuansu the opportunity to enter the Nine Hall.

Because of this, Taoist priests like Zhang Yuelu, who can withstand wind and rain and abide by the rules, are more and more valuable, and as long as their ability is not bad, most of them will be promoted and reused.

Just as the two were talking, a figure swept out of the house, extremely fast.

However, Zhang Yuelu's speed was faster, and the "photoless paper" in his palm had turned into a soft whip, and as Zhang Yuelu's wrist trembled, it was intertwined into a cage, enveloping the figure in it.

Then the figure slammed and turned into a paper figure and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another paper crane flew out of the house, staggered, and landed in front of Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu waved her hand, and the paper crane turned into a piece of paper and returned to the "photoless paper" in her hand.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What does this mean, we lost it?" Tricked by this goose tail? ”

"Pretty much, she must have found my crane, deliberately left it here, and then left a paper man. And she herself has long since left this place, and she does not know where to go. Zhang Yuelu said, "I underestimated this female liar." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "There are indeed some means, no wonder these eagle claw grandchildren of Qingluan Wei Qianhu can't catch her, but I don't know if she has any accomplices." ”

"Approximately." Zhang Yuelu said thoughtfully, "I still can't figure it out, what is she trying to deceive when she puts up a grass platform to dance in broad daylight?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "If I know, I will go as a goose's tail." But we also have to be careful, beware of the revenge of these goose tails. ”

"How dare this gang of liars take revenge?" Zhang Yuelu was slightly surprised.

Qi Xuansu said: "Gu Immortals dare to retaliate against the Dao Sect, and the liars naturally dare to retaliate against us." If you don't die, you will have endless troubles. ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded: "Speaking of fighting snakes without dying, it reminds me of the Jiangnan case, and I really have to guard against it." ”

Qi Xuansu only knew the final result of this big case from the Di newspaper, but he didn't know the specific process, so he couldn't help asking: "I remember that the Jiangnan case seems to be embezzling the payment for goods by forging the sinking of a merchant ship, didn't they think that this road would not go far?" Sooner or later, the ancestral court will find out. ”

"It's not that simple," Zhang Yuelu shook her head and said, "The cause of this case is that the ancestral court and the Holy Court reached a treaty to expand trade and commerce, and the ancestral court ordered that the Jiangnan Provincial Government should be in charge of this matter. Because it was to expand trade exchanges, the amount of silk, tea, and porcelain that year went to sea was doubled, but because of the rush of time, the Jiangnan Provincial Government put forward a strategy, first transfer the corresponding goods from other provincial governments to temporarily make up for this year's shortfall, and wait until the Jiangnan Provincial Government completed the increase in production, and then returned to other provincial governments. ”

Zuting agreed to the strategy of Jiangnan Province and decided to transfer goods from Liaodong Province and Qizhou Province to fill the gap in Jiangnan Province. Tianyuan, you should know that as long as the lard is in your hands, a layer of oil will stick to your hands, so there is a problem in this link, up and down his hands, you touch a hand of lard, I also touch a hand of lard, he touches a hand of lard, and the lard is stunned for a while. Under layers of exploitation, when this batch of goods that could have filled the gap really arrived in the hands of Jiangnan Province, it was not enough. Seeing that the delivery date agreed with the merchants of the Western Continent was approaching, these people had no choice, so they made a shipwreck accident and wanted to erase these deficits from the books. ”

"However, because there are too many goods involved, unless it is a dozen ships that are sunk in one go, it will be difficult to erase the books, but once a dozen ships are sunk, the fool also knows that there are cats in it, so they came up with a way to secretly collude with the demons of the secret association, and let the demons of the secret association burn the warehouse of Jiangnan Province. The warehouse is empty, but they can use this matter to hide from the world, saying that those empty goods were burned by demons, they are just negligent in taking precautions, a crime of negligence and dereliction of duty is far less than the crime of greedy ink, the key is that the benefits have already reached their pockets. ”

Duzhitang sensed that something was wrong and reported it to the ancestral court, and the ancestral court ordered the Beichen Hall to investigate the matter, so there was a matter of the Beichen Hall sending people to the Jiangnan Provincial Government. They jumped over the wall in a hurry, killing people in the name of a secret association, turning a case of greedy ink into a big case of the local provincial government against the ancestral court. A big case of embezzlement of ink, a big case of collusion and secret association, and a big case against the ancestral court, these three things, collectively known as the Jiangnan case, made many heads fall to the ground. ”

After Qi Xuansu listened, he sighed with emotion: "There is more than enough behind me to withdraw my hand, and there is no way to turn back in front of me." ”

Zhang Yuelu also sighed with emotion: "You asked me just now, why do they think that the ancestral court will not find out? In fact, if you are serious, it is not necessarily a dead end. Everyone understands one thing, they can take the opportunity to enrich themselves, but not too much, at least to be restrained. These truths are extremely simple, so simple that I, an outsider, know it, and even a semi-open secret. ”

"But the problem is that everybody expects others to put it into practice."

"The top management of the Gangnam Provincial Government hopes that the people below can stop in moderation, understand the difficulties of the Provincial Government, and focus on the overall situation."

"The fundamental reason for this is that the former head of Gangnam Province is the head, and the top leaders of Gangnam Province are eager for quick success. Their thoughts are very direct, as long as Zu Ting orders, I must complete it, as for how much it will cost to complete Ancestral Ting's task, or even deviate from Zu Ting's intentions, it is not my business. ”

In his opinion, as long as he could fill in the gaps and complete the transaction with the merchants of the Western Continent on time, he did not consider the deep intention of the ancestral court to sign the treaty. He didn't want to think about it, this business was done, and the Jiangnan Provincial Government had made a great contribution, but was this the original intention of the ancestral court? The proceeds of millions of Taiping dollars or a Jiangnan Provincial Government with a lot of internal holes, which is more important? ”

"Because of this, after this incident, he was transferred out of Jiangnan Province."

"The people below hope that the people above will turn a blind eye and understand the hardships of these little people, and when the sky falls, it is better for the tall people above to bear it."

"Those who were executed by the ancestral court, after the shipwreck, they knew that the situation was already very dangerous, and Duzhitang and Beichentang had already noticed the Jiangnan Provincial Government, and they still refused to spit out some goods to pass through the customs. As long as they pass this level, the people of Duzhitang and Beichen Hall are gone, and this Jiangnan Provincial Mansion is still their world. But these people were stunned and did not let go, even if they died in the end, they did not pay out of their own pockets to survive. They all expect others to spit out some, just as they expect others to be less greedy when they start to pass through the lard. ”

"Everyone guards their own one-third of an acre, knowing that no one will please when the sky falls, but they still dig the corner of the Optimus Pillar at the moment before the sky falls."

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything for a long time.

The facts of this case are not complicated, but they interpret human nature very well.

Compared with the twists and turns inside these doors, the conflicts of interests on the rivers and lakes are like children fighting, and they really can't be put on the stage.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "After experiencing this, I understand the ambition of this life, the Daomen has reached the point where it cannot but be rectified, if you want to rectify the Daomen, you must ascend to a high position, one is not enough to know the real person, and one Pingzhang Dazhen is not enough, you have to have three deputy masters or big masters." ”

Qi Xuansu was a little ashamed, his ambition was just to start a family, compared with Zhang Yuelu, it was really a world of difference.
