Chapter 40: Suicide

The deliberations of Qingwei Zhenren are over, and the chatter of several deputy hall masters has also come to an end, and everyone goes to see Qingwei Zhenren in turn.

When Qi Xuansu saw Qingwei Zhenren, it was already past the hour.

Qingwei Zhenren sat behind the bookcase, still the same, maybe because of the blood of the fox clan, always giving people a feeling of a little smile.

When Qi Xuansu came in, Qingwei Zhenren was reading the official document.

In this case, if the boss says "wait a minute", it means that there is a real urgency, there is no problem, and you can wait with peace of mind. But if the boss doesn't say anything, doesn't raise his head, and just reads the official document, it is to express an attitude, and the dissatisfaction is obvious, enough to make the subordinates sit on pins and needles.

Qingwei Zhenren did not bury his head in reading the official document, quickly read the official document, and after writing and giving instructions, he looked up at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu handed the summary compiled by Lu Yuting and others to the bookcase of Qingwei Zhenren, and said, "Zhangjun Zhenren, this is the result of last night's surprise interrogation."

Qingwei Zhenren opened it and glanced at it a few times, and asked, "What do you think?"

Qi Xuansu had already typed the draft and replied, "The smuggling matter is undoubted, but it is still doubtful whether there is reselling military supplies. These people are all acting on orders, but they are just one part of the whole smuggling process, and they don't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, and the key is to look at the Jiangnan Provincial Government."

Qingwei Zhenren nodded, put this outline aside, and said, "Then take these people into custody for the time being, and wait for the results of the Jiangnan Provincial Government."

Qi Xuansu finally saw a few clues, Qingwei Zhenren didn't care much about this case, if Qingwei Zhenren single-handedly planned and led, then Qingwei Zhenren should have forced Qi Xuansu to step up interrogation at this time and continue to dig out more insiders. But at this time, Qingwei Zhenren just said that he would be detained for the time being, and did not mention the follow-up at all, but it seemed that Qingwei Zhenren deliberately held it high and let it go, and he didn't know it, and he thought that Qingwei Zhenren planned to open up to Zhang Quan.

In other words, the reason why this case will be transferred to the camp is not the initiative of Qingwei Zhenren, but the intention of others, as long as Qingwei Zhenren takes over the case, others will subconsciously think that Qingwei Zhenren masterminded this matter, as if the yellow mud fell in the crotch of his pants, and the final counterattack will also fall on Qingwei Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu replied and said, "I'll escort them to the camp."

Qingwei Zhenren asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qi Xuansu said, "No."

Qingwei Zhenren nodded: "This is just an emergency, your focus should still be on those mountain gods and wild gods, this is a big matter, you have to discuss more with Deputy Hall Master Zhang, don't make up your mind alone."

Qi Xuansu's face turned grim: "Huh."

Qingwei Zhenren motioned for Qi Xuansu to go.

Qi Xuansu withdrew from the signing room of Qingwei Zhenren, and felt that this trip was worthwhile. If he still doesn't understand what Qingwei Zhenren means, then he doesn't have to mix it up.

After leaving the big tent of Qingwei Zhenren, Qi Xuansu went directly to Zhang Yuelu's residence, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Mu Yan.

Mu Yan was not afraid of Qi Xuansu, and said confidently: "Deputy Hall Master Qi, even if you have a good relationship with Deputy Hall Master Zhang, there is no reason to break into it without making a report, so many people are watching."

Qi Xuansu didn't care about her: "Then please go and report it quickly, I'll wait here."

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu had already heard the movement, walked out, and asked, "Is there a result?"

"Go in and say." Qi Xuansu said.

Mu Yan stopped blocking the road at this time, and she had no malicious intentions, mainly to protect Zhang Yuelu's reputation, no matter what, the two had not officially become Taoist couples, and it was not good to be too old and wife.

Entering the tent, Qi Xuansu said the experience of meeting Qingwei Zhenren: "I think Qingwei Zhenren's attitude is already obvious, he doesn't want to delve into this matter, it is more perfunctory. At the very least, he doesn't want to set off the third Jiangnan case at this time."

Zhang Yuelu nodded, thoughtful.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What did the old man say, Heavenly Master?"

Zhang Yue

The deer sighed, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to ask questions about the will of heaven. Regarding this matter, I can only report it to the Celestial Master, who just said, "I know," and said nothing else, so I can't ask again."

Although Tianshi and Zhang Yuelu are grandchildren in name, their emotional foundation is very weak, and they are not the kind of granddaughters who have been held in the palm of her grandfather's hand since she was a child, and naturally there is no coquettishness. It's just normal times, and when it comes to this kind of business, you have to follow the rules.

Qi Xuansu said, "It seems that we can only convey the meaning of Qingwei Zhenren to the Heavenly Master, and as for how it will develop next, it is not up to us to control."

Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything anymore. The role that the two of them can play in this matter is really limited, and they just do their best and obey the fate of heaven.

Next, the two talked about recruiting all kinds of mountain gods, after all, this is their job, no matter whether Qingwei Zhenren can continue to be the real person in charge of the army, the entire strategic direction should not change, as Qingwei Zhenren said, this is a big deal.

It's just that the follow-up trend of this matter still greatly surprised Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.

Just three days later, news came from the Gangnam Provincial Government.

However, this news has nothing to do with whether or not to resell military supplies, but Zhang Quanquan has an accident.

When Qi Xuansu learned the news from Zhang Yuelu's mouth, he was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Zhang Quanquan already in trouble?"

Zhang Yuelu said, "Zhang Jian is dead."

Qi Xuansu was taken aback: "Dead?!"

"When I first heard the news, I was shocked." Zhang Yuelu said, "After Zhang Jiquan was controlled, Lu Yushu transferred him to Qiantang Mansion, where he was interrogated. After Li Changge arrived in Jiangnan, he transferred him to Huainan Mansion. But last night, Zhang Jiuquan committed suicide."

Qi Xuansu was shocked again: "Suicide?"

As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, Zhang Quanquan's case has a great impact, but as long as his greed for ink and the number of smuggling are not too exaggerated, the general crime is not death, and the problem of private morality has the least impact. If it was only a hundred thousand Taiping money involved in the case, it would probably be dismissed, and it would not be a problem to continue to be a nine-grade Taoist priest, but it would be a big deal to live in seclusion and be a pure savage in the second half of his life. No matter how bad it is, write about your experiences over the years, and write about all those fragrant things, maybe it's another strange book.

Zhang Yuelu said, "The news from Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall is suicide, but I think there are many doubts, and things are not so simple. Whether he committed suicide or not, many clues have been broken, and it is difficult to dig deeper into the case." new

Qi Xuansu understood one thing early on, the power struggle in the Daomen was extremely cruel, and it usually ended with the death of one party. And Zhang Kuanquan's death revealed a signal of the end of the day.

There is a saying called "pull out the radish and bring out the mud", and one of the main affairs of Zixian Mountain was involved in the second Jiangnan case. That's just a matter of the main thing, this time it's a deputy mansion master, I don't know how many people will be pulled out, even if the entire Jiangnan Provincial Mansion collapses, it's not impossible.

At this time, the strong man is about to break his wrist.

It's just that I don't know who made the shot, it was Qingwei Zhenren's side that made the shot? Or did the Celestial Master make a move?

At the same time, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life, just a month ago, this deputy mansion master Zhang was still living an emperor-like life, a respected high-level master, maybe he also participated in the Shangyuan Festival celebration presided over by the Heavenly Master himself, but just one month later, he was ruined and everything was in vain.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Don't talk about continuing to dig deeper, just say that Zhang Kuanquan's case has been investigated?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said, "How can a big case like this be investigated in such a short period of time, unless Zhang Jiuquan breaks the jar and breaks himself and takes the initiative to confess, he will say whatever he asks, and he will confess to whoever is involved." But does Zhang Jiuquan have the courage to do this? Even if Zhang Kuquan had the courage to do so, he still had illusions in his heart, thinking that Zhengyi would protect him to the death, so he never spoke."

Qi Xuansu said: "Since he has illusions, he will not commit suicide, generally only desperate people will commit suicide."

Zhang Yuelu said: "This is the problem, I have been passing white for the past few days

Senior Sister paid attention to this case, according to Senior Sister Bai, regarding those private moral issues, Zhang Jian fully admitted it, but about greedy ink and smuggling, he always refused to admit it, not only did he not admit it, but his attitude was also quite arrogant, and it was said that he scolded Lu Yushu, which is not like a person who is bent on death."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "How did Zhang Jiquan die? Self-detonating dantian? Swords and firearms?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "After being caught, Sumeru and all kinds of belongings will be taken away, and they will also be sealed with talismans for cultivation, neither of the two methods you said will work. He died of poison, and it was an imitation of "extravagant corpse poison", which can kill people with just a little bit, and it is easy to hide, such as hiding in his fingernails or between his teeth, which is difficult to investigate."

Qi Xuansu was deeply impressed by this poison, and when "Holy Worry-free" was hit by this poison, although he did not die, he was tossed enough to choke, and in the end, it was Qi Niang who took action to resolve it.

Qi Xuansu said, "I'm afraid that the person in charge of guarding will be held accountable."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Regarding this point, it is said that Li Changge has submitted his resignation. However, whether the above approval is approved or not, it depends on the follow-up."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Qingxiao, do you think it could be Li Yongyan's hand? He is from the Li family, and he is one with Qingwei Zhenren. Also, of the nine deputy hall masters of the Beichen Hall, at least five of them are in Yujing, including the chief and second seats, but the Qingwei real person has sent Li Yongyan, the acting deputy hall master who is the last ranked."

Zhang Yuelu was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's not that this possibility is not impossible, at the beginning, everyone felt that the reason why Li Changge was sent over was because they were afraid that other people would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Zhang family. Now it seems that Qingwei Zhenren is indeed at ease, but this is not at ease."

She paused, "But this is all speculation between you and me, and it's still too early to say what the truth is."
