Chapter 154: Searching for the Missing Person (I)
The Yuan family was destroyed, all clues were destroyed, and even part of the Yuan family's wealth had already been transferred to Nanyang, but the shops and other industries under the name of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce could not escape.
It's just that most of the industries of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce are within the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, which is not under the jurisdiction of Quanzhen Dao. Pei Xiaolou had to wait for Zhang Yuelu to come back to jointly handle the case.
In fact, because of the prosperity of Jiangnan, Jiangzhou Jinling is the center of Daomen and sea trade, and the three forces converge here, so Jiangnan Province and Kunlun Province are general, directly belong to Jinque, and the three provinces are also members of the three provinces.
However, because of the proximity to the water, Cihang's lineage has the greatest influence and the deepest influence in Jiangnan Province, and almost every generation of Cihang Zhenren has served as the head of Jiangnan Province.
Zhang Yuelu's senior sister is now serving as the chief deputy head of Jiangnan Province, but the age is not much different from Cihang Zhenren, and when Cihang Zhenren soars, she is also dying, unless Cihang Zhenren can become a big master and give up the name of Cihang Zhenren in advance, otherwise she is destined to inherit the mantle of Cihang Zhenren, but this is not the only reason why Cihang Zhenren chose Zhang Yuelu.
This also involves the inheritance of the position of the Heavenly Master, which is the natural weakness of Cihang Zhenren. Qingwei Zhenren failed to compete for the Great Palm Sect and could inherit the position of the national teacher, and Donghua Zhenren failed to compete for the Great Palm Sect and could also inherit the position of the Earth Teacher. Only Cihang Zhenren failed to compete for the Great Palm Sect, and it was difficult to inherit the position of Heavenly Master.
Although Xuansheng has abolished the rule that "if you don't have the surname Zhang, you can't inherit the Heavenly Master", the Zhang family still has a great obsession with it, especially the big descendants of the Zhang family, and they are still wary of the side branches of the Zhang family, not to mention people with foreign surnames.
This is also the reason why the Zhang family is always inferior to the Li family, the Li family can tolerate the righteous son and son-in-law in charge of the portal, and there are strong people from generation to generation, even if they are suppressed and restricted by Xuansheng, they still develop rapidly, and now they have almost completely mastered the Taiping Dao, and there is no second voice. The Zhang family couldn't even tolerate the side branches, and still dominated the Zhengyi, but they were divided by Cihang's lineage of many powers.
The only foreign surname Heavenly Master Yan Feiqing can be said to be the right time and place, he is not only the beloved disciple of the old Heavenly Master of the previous generation, but also the confidant friend of Xuan Sheng, and his wife Su Yuncheng is still the real person of Cihang of that generation. If you count it further, Su Yuncheng's master married Emperor Xuan Gaozu and became the stepmother of Mrs. Xuansheng, from this point of view, Yan Feiqing and Xuansheng are still brothers-in-law. In addition, the Zhang family had just been deposed by Xuansheng as a celestial master, and his vitality was greatly damaged, so Yan Feiqing became the only celestial master with a foreign surname.
After careful calculation, the foreign surname of the Heavenly Master Yan Feiqing had the status of master and apprentice inheritance, the support of Xuan Sheng, the support of the important Cihang lineage, and even the support of the royal family. Today's Cihang Zhenren can never be compared with Yan Feiqing at the beginning, and the hope of inheriting the position of Heavenly Master is very slim. If there is a strong fight, it is likely to lead to infighting and division in the main side. However, for the Zhang family, it is also a hidden danger. This generation of Heavenly Master is fashionable and easy to say in the world, and he can suppress Cihang Zhenren, but when the Heavenly Master ascends and dies, and the new Heavenly Master ascends to the throne, he may not be able to subdue Cihang Zhenren, and it is likely to form a situation where two "kings" stand side by side. In this way, both sides must find a balance.
Thinking about it carefully, the most suitable candidate is Zhang Yuelu, she is a disciple of the Zhang family, and a disciple of Cihang Zhenren, if she is chosen to become the heir of the next generation of heavenly masters, she can take into account the interests of the Zhang family and Cihang at the same time. The only shortcoming is that Zhang Yuelu is a side branch of the Zhang family, not from a large family, but it is better than cheaper people with foreign surnames.
This time, Jin Que sent Zhang Yuelu to investigate the case thoroughly, mainly because of the meaning of Cihang Zhenren, although the national teacher is the rotating real person, but the case of Zixian Mountain is not enough for the rotating real person to personally intervene. It is even more impossible for the national teacher to take the initiative to ask, it will seem that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
In fact, there is also a hierarchy of Jinque deliberations, and it is not necessary to have all the real people who participate in the knowledge and all the real people of the peace chapter to be present, sometimes as long as there are 12 real people who participate in the real people, this kind of discussion with an uneven number of people is called "small discussion", and there are 24 people in the "middle discussion", and 36 people in the "big discussion".
This time the Zixian Mountain case has reached the level of "small discussion", and it is Cihang Zhenren who is presiding over this "small discussion".
Zhang Yuelu Xingwen Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, in fact, represents Cihang Zhenren, so Jiangnan Provincial Government has begun to thoroughly investigate the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce, but the Jiangnan Provincial Government is intertwined and the progress is slow, but with the Yuan family's "fear of crime and suicide", it is a foregone conclusion to raid the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce.
Qi Xuansu still failed to make it in the end, and was half-forced by Zhang Yuelu to return to Jiangling Mansion, which is also a helpless thing, if you don't sneak attack and don't use strange tricks, then Qi Xuansu is not Zhang Yuelu's opponent for the time being. However, Zhang Yuelu is not unkind, before coming back, she helped Qi Xuansu search the woods, but there was still no trace of Liuhu, not even half of the horseshoe prints, it seemed that Liuhu did not enter the woods at all.
After the two returned to Jiangling Mansion, they went directly to Shenxiao Temple.
Pei Xiaolou also stayed at the largest Taoist temple in Jiangling Mansion, and when he heard Daotong say that Master Zhang came back, he immediately came out to greet him.
What Zhang Yuelu said when he saw Pei Xiaolou was: "Pei Zhenren, who do you think I brought to you?" ”
Pei Xiaolou didn't recognize Qi Xuansu after the disguise, but Qi Xuansu had already prepared for this, Zhang Yuelu's voice fell, and he had already taken the initiative to salute: "Wei Wugui has seen a real person." ”
Pei Xiaolou is such a smart person, he immediately understood, nodded slightly, and said, "The old county king also asked about you." ”
Qi Xuansu was ashamed and said: "I am incompetent and have a negative trust." ”
Zhang Yuelu raised her eyebrows, and these two people also acted.
If Wei Wugui was really Qin Wuxi's personal soldier, then Qin Wuxian would not care about him when he replied.
But if you check it now, you will definitely not find anything, and most of these people have a unified voice.
Zhang Yuelu didn't solve it on the spot, after all, the most important thing at the moment is the case of Zixian Mountain.
"Let's get down to business." Zhang Yuelu walked to the main hall first.
Pei Xiaolou and Qi Xuansu exchanged glances and said with a smile: "Yes, it's important to get down to business." ”
The three of them came to the living room and sat down separately, Pei Xiaolou and Zhang Yuelu sat on the left and right of the main seat in the middle respectively, and Qi Xuansu sat at the bottom of Pei Xiaolou's side.
Because Qi Xuansu is also an insider, the two did not shy away from him and told them about their respective experiences.
Qi Xuansu was shocked when he heard this, the Yuan family was actually involved in the "Heavenly Court", and this time in order to destroy the evidence, the "Heavenly Court" dispatched a total of two Heavenly People. In this way, he has already seen Marshal Feng and Feng Bo of the "Heavenly Court".
Marshal Feng belongs to the four generalissimos of wind, thunder, fire and electricity, and Feng Bo is tied with Yushi, Lei Gong, and Electric Mother, these are the eight celestials. "Heavenly Court" also has three heavenly officials, four great heavenly masters, has exceeded the number of heavenly people, and its strength even exceeds some of the weaker local Taoist governments, no wonder dare to call it "Heavenly Court".
Qi Xuansu also learned one thing from the two of them, the reason why the general altar of the "Heavenly Court" is located in Lingnan is because the "Heavenly Court" also takes into account the Nanyang, and the ancestor of the "Heavenly Court" is even the protector of several small Nanyang countries, and the position is higher than the national teacher, and the marshals under his command are not boastful, and they have the false name of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses in those small Nanyang countries.
After the two exchanged their knowledge, Zhang Yuelu's perception of Pei Xiaolou changed greatly, Pei Xiaolou always gave people a feeling of unreliability on weekdays, and it was called cynicism to put it nicely, and it was not positive to say it badly. However, on this kind of major issue of right and wrong, Pei Xiaolou can still hold it.
Zhang Yuelu asked: "The next thing is to go to Jiangzhou to check the assets under the name of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce, does Pei Zhenren go with him?" ”
Pei Xiaolou nodded and said, "Naturally, go with us." ”
Zhang Yuelu's eyes casually glanced at Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu sat there very quietly as if nothing had ever happened, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was pretending to sleep.
Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Wei pro-soldiers." ”
"Hmm." Qi Xuansu opened his eyes suddenly, looking at Zhang Yuelu blankly.
Zhang Yuelu asked, "Wei Qinbing, do you want to go to Jiangzhou?" ”
"I was going to go." Qi Xuansu replied, "But Xiaohu is gone, I have to find her first." ”
"Xiaohu, is that little girl?" Zhang Yuelu asked.
Qi Xuansu nodded.
Zhang Yuelu looked at Pei Xiaolou again: "What does Pei Zhenren mean?" ”
Pei Xiaolou said: "If you want me to say, this matter has nothing to do with Lao Wei, the so-called drumming and selling sugar, each doing his own thing, let's go to investigate the case, he will go to find someone, and he will do whatever he wants." ”
Zhang Yuelu was unwilling, but she did not hinder Qi Xuansu from finding someone.
