In a way, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are both partners in life and political allies. The partner can be strong and weak, the allies must be evenly matched, if one side is too strong, then it is not an ally, but a vassal.

Zhang Yuelu agreed with Qi Xuansu's speculation: "I don't rule out this possibility, if the Yizi faction and the son-in-law faction within the Li family reach a consensus and then form an alliance, then it is indeed a force to be reckoned with." The Heavenly Master is subject to the Zhang Family Sect, and the situation of the National Master may be slightly better than that of the Heavenly Master, but it is also quite limited. ”

Qi Xuansu added: "There are some things that can be done but not said. There are some things that can be said but not done. In the Li family, the matter of the family being in power for a long time can be done, and it must not be publicized and advocated. The environment of the Zhang family and the Li family is different, the Zhang family is conservative and has a resistant attitude towards people with foreign surnames, which has caused the Zhang family to be disadvantaged, but there are pros and cons, and the Zhang family can continue to emphasize that the family is the mainstay, which is a matter of course. ”

"The Li family is open and welcomes people with foreign surnames, this move has made the Li family full of talents, and it has been in full swing for two hundred years, which is also pros and cons, and the Li family cannot openly emphasize the Li family??????????????? The transcendent status of the family in the Li family must promote the three-legged support of the three major factions of the family, the righteous son, and the son-in-law, and if the Li family does what the Zhang family does, then it will inevitably cause a strong internal backlash. ”

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "You can see it thoroughly, in the words of "Zuo Chuan", if you prosper with this, you will die with this." If the Zhang family dies, it will die conservatively. If the Li family dies, they will die in the open. Back then, Xuan Sheng advocated that the more friends the better, leaving behind the hidden danger of today's internal factions in the Daomen. At that time, the Li family advocated inclusiveness and equal treatment, but also left the hidden danger of the righteous son and son-in-law dominating the mastery. Taiping Dao seems to be united, mainly with the backdrop of Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao, and objectively speaking, Taiping Dao is far from being monolithic. ”

Zhang Yuelu paused for a moment and asked, "When you saw Qingwei Zhenren, what was his attitude?" ”

Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly: "A big man of this level, who has his own city government, and has calm energy when facing major events, how can he put his thoughts on his face?" Naturally, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and they talk and laugh freely. At first, I thought that Qingwei Zhenren was in charge of this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong. ”

Zhang Yuelu also felt that she was asking too much, and said: "In this way, I can only go to find out the old man's tone, after all, he is the one at the helm." ”

Qi Xuansu had no objection and said, "Okay, the rest will be discussed slowly and in detail when we meet." ”

Zhang Yuelu ended the conversation.

During the time when the two were talking, the two flying boats were already approaching the port, Qi Xuansu came to the deck, looked in the direction of the port, and saw that another "Yellow Cantile" was moored on the sea, which should have been controlled by the spirit officer stationed in the port.

The two flying boats landed slowly, and Qi Xuansu ordered: "Don't torture, don't induce confessions, interrogate on the spot overnight, remember what you can ask, put aside those who don't open their mouths for the time being, and give me an overview before dawn, I will go to see the real person in charge of the army at the time of the hour." ”

Several Taoist priests in charge received the order in unison.

Lu Yuting combined Qi Xuansu's previous conversation, and had some guesses in her heart, the reason why Deputy Hall Master Qi was so eager may be to test the true intentions of Qingwei Zhenren through this overview.

What should be done, or to what extent?

Deputy Hall Master Qi has a sentence that she agrees with, the so-called "loyalty" is actually a grasshopper on a line, so to move a person, not just to move himself, but to move the whole body, involving everyone on his line.

So it's easy to deal with one person, but as long as one line is involved, it's very troublesome. Sometimes, a line can even lead to heaven. For example, Zhang Quanquan's line, if he insists that he is connected to the Heavenly Master, it barely makes sense.

In today's situation, the person at the top of this line generally has two options, one is to die, and the other is to cut off the tail of the gecko. Of course, if someone uproots the thread, then no one on the line will be able to escape.

Zhang Quanquan's position on his line, not up or down, probably in the middle of the position, there are two considerations. With such a big movement, Zhang Jiquan must be finished, but whether the matter ends here is still two words. You can use Zhang Quanquan's case as a starting point and continue to dig deeper. It can also be triggered but not triggered, forming a kind of deterrence.

At this stage, Zhengyi is bound to be on the defensive, cutting off and ??????????????? Zhang Quanquan's various involvement, abandoning the pawn to protect the handsome. If Taiping Dao chooses to dig deep, but can't attack it for a long time, that is, it can't dig deeply, and it will inevitably meet a counterattack. But if the Taiping Road is not triggered, as a deterrent, Zhengyi will not dare to fight back rashly.

In Lu Yuting's view, Qi Vice-Tang's main test is this attitude.

On the other side, before Li Changge rushed to the Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, Lu Yushu of Fengxian Hall had already taken measures against Zhang Kuanquan first.

This time is different from the previous two Jiangnan cases, the essence of the first two is to attack from the outside and go head-to-head, so there are back and forth, and there is even enough time to destroy the evidence and kill people. This time, Zhang detained the whole case, which was essentially infighting, and his own people took the initiative to report and expose it, which naturally collapsed instantly.

However, Feng Xiantang's quick action still proves that this is not an emergency, but a long-planned plan. Otherwise, Feng Xiantang's reaction would not have been able to react so quickly, and even Zhang Jiuquan would not have had a chance to destroy the evidence.

Lu Yushu's harvest is very great, and I don't know if it's because of "accidentality", a lot of rumors have been circulated, because there are communication methods such as "signal rune array" and son-mother talismans, so even across the East China Sea, Xingying has heard of it.

When Qi Xuansu arrived at the camp, Qingwei Zhenren was presiding over the proceedings, and Qi Xuansu could only wait.

Of course, it is impossible for a high-grade Taoist priest at the level of the deputy hall master to stand outside and wait, not only there is a special waiting room, but also tea. At this time, in the waiting room, there were several deputy hall masters, and everyone was waiting to see Qingwei Zhenren, so they chatted.

The most eye-catching topic at the moment is naturally Zhang Kuquan's case, and a deputy hall master of the Huasheng Hall lowered his voice: "I heard that Fengxian Hall searched Zhang Kuanquan's signature room, this deputy Zhang Mansion Master is still a 'wonderful person', and it is said that he has found a lot of 'lingering stones' in his signature room. ”

Several other people were interested: "'Shadow Stone'? ”

Deputy Hall Master Zhao continued: "Zhang Kucheng has a special hobby, every time he has sex, the whole process must be recorded with a 'photo stone' for later viewing. It is said that Zhang Kucheng is very researched in the room technique, Huanxi Zen, and the method of collecting and supplementing, and he is a master of Buddhism and Taoism, and many 'lingering stones' can be used as teaching materials for the art in the room and Huanxi Zen. ”

After all, they are all people with status, and no one has a monkey anxious and obscene attitude, but they are generally calm, but there is a little more smile on the corner of their mouth.

Someone asked, "How many people were involved?" ”

Deputy Hall Master Zhao said: "According to the preliminary statistics of Fengxian Hall, there are about 100 people. Among them, there are many female Taoist priests, and it is not a small number. ”

Qi Xuansu didn't care much about it, but when he heard this, he had to care.

A deputy head of the house, dozens of female subordinates, an absolute scandal.

The reason why Fengxiantang is not afraid of these "rumors" damaging the face of the Daomen, in fact, the reason is not complicated, this kind of thing is a big deal within the Daomen, but for the imperial court, this is really not a matter, maybe it can also gain a "merry" reputation.

The following gossip gradually involves some substance, which is very fragrant.

For example, a certain female chief Taoist priest sat on the lap of Deputy Mansion Master Zhang to talk about official business, and Deputy Mansion Master Zhang listened to the report of his subordinates while moving his hands, which made the female master gasp and flush all over her face??????????????? Or Deputy Zhang's head of the mansion acted as a matchmaker and married a female subordinate to a junior, and as a result, he kept in touch with this female subordinate, often nonsense. Or the deputy mansion master Zhang went directly to the home of a female subordinate, and the Taoist companion of the female Taoist priest was watching the wind outside the door. There is also the deputy lord of Zhang's mansion with the "great joy of Zen" of Buddhism, with one enemy and four, showing his might, and so on.

These female crowns, who usually look like chaste martyrs, have shown their powers and completely changed into a person. The iceberg beauty who does not move in the eyes of the poor boy is so cheap in the face of power.

A few deputy hall masters couldn't talk about how to envy, just joked about it. After all, everyone is of the same grade, and if you really want to do this, it's not impossible, it's just not worth it. Not to mention others, after Qi Xuansu was promoted to the deputy hall master of the third grade, many female Taoist priests took the initiative to flatter, as long as Qi Xuansu hooked his fingers, they could take the initiative to climb into bed. If Qi Xuansu is a good man, then the male Taoist priest doesn't mind following suit.

For these women, they are also Sanpin Youyi Taoists, and compared to the bad old man, it is naturally the young Qi Xuansu who is more popular. Women have a herd mentality, and the man that Deputy Hall Master Zhang likes will definitely not be bad, if he achieves good things, I don't know who will suffer.

】

Therefore, Qi Xuansu pays great attention to keeping a distance from women, and will not believe in any peach blossom luck, the most clever hunter always appears in the form of prey, you think it is peach blossom luck, maybe it is a trap carefully designed by others, it seems to be a wolf eating sheep, but in fact, it is a group of female Taoist priests chasing power to hunt these superiors in turn.

So when this kind of thing happens, it's usually a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and no one is clean.

Speaking of this, several deputy hall masters couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Quanquan must have planted this time, this kind of private morality problem, of course, is not a crime to death, but the impact is very bad, and the key to the final conviction is to see the amount of his greed and smuggling. Judging from the current situation, the position will definitely not be saved, and the grade of the Taoist priest will be pushed to the end, and the best result is to barely save his life.

But then again, what if you save your life? It won't be able to turn over in another hundred years, and from then on, Daomen will not have this person.

As for the women involved in the case, they also can't run, and they don't know how many places they have to vacate.
