Chapter 67: After the Fact
This time the Queen Mother's case involved Qingluanwei, so Qi Xuansu immediately asked Lingguan to enter the Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion and control the high-level officials of the Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion.
Qingluanwei has always caught others, when have you ever encountered this situation? It's just that against the fierce and vicious Daomen spirit officials, the Qingluan guards can't play prestige, and they don't dare to resist, after all, "Ying Long" is still hanging above the head of the Shenglong Mansion. The entire Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion was quickly taken down by the spirit officials, and one by one the Qingluan Guards squatted down and hugged their heads in the courtyard of the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion, and the spirit officials stood next to them, pointing at them with the mouth of the black hole, and if they made a slight move, they would be killed.
This shows the fact that the so-called "emperor" is really not a joke. It's not whether the Daomen can or not, but whether the Daomen want to or not.
Generally speaking, the Daomen should be careful about the influence and will not make a big move at will. It's just that this time the division is famous, Qi Xuansu was assassinated by a bureau, and Qingluanwei participated, and it was the Daomen who took advantage. Even Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua can't stand up at this time and say that Qi Xuansu's impact will be bad, but they still have to support Qi Xuansu verbally and nominally. The fundamental truth lies in distinguishing between inside and outside, in private, the two sides are on the same page, almost tearing their faces, but on the bright side, Qi Xuansu is still his own person.
Under the personal escort of Jiayin Lingguan, Qi Xuansu, who had already changed into a brand-new crane, strode into the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion, and the Qingluan guards holding their heads in the courtyard could only see the hem and cloud shoes, and did not dare to raise their heads.
Qi Xuansu walked straight into the lobby and asked, "Where is the Qingluan Wei Governor?"
A middle-aged man who was guarded by two third-rank spirit officers answered, "The subordinates are here."
In the end, it is the high-level of Qingluanwei, or there are some special treatments, you can stand in the lobby, and you don't have to squat in the courtyard with your head in your hands.
Qi Xuansu turned to look at this person: "You are not my subordinate, what is your name?"
Although he is the Governor of Qingluan Wei and a genuine celestial, he can only reply respectfully at this time, "Chen Shuhong."
"Do you know what's going on?" Qi Xuansu asked again.
"I know a little bit about it." Chen Shuhong replied stubbornly.
It was precisely because he knew what was going on that he was so low-voiced, if Qi Xuansu forcibly took over the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion for no reason, he would have jumped up and protested, either moving out of Chen Shuhua's own house, or threatening to go to Yujing to complain. Yujing considered the impact, and most of them had to reprimand Qi Xuansu, that is, the two words that many big people like to use - nonsense.
But this time it was Qi Xuansu who took the reason, where did he still have such confidence, he just begged not to implicate himself, he didn't dare to contradict or threaten Qi Xuansu at all, so he could only lower his voice.
Qi Xuansu said: "Since I know, then I won't repeat it, I want you to help the Dao Mansion solve this case and make the merit convicted, do you have any opinions?"
"No, no." Chen Shuhong said repeatedly.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, and raised his voice slightly: "Yunzheng."
"Yes." Chen Jianqiu replied loudly.
Qi Xuansu instructed, "You used to serve in Qingluanwei, and you are familiar with the situation here, so you are in charge of this part."
Chen Jianqiu replied, "Yes."
Chen Shuhong's smile was a little stiff.
Of course he knows that Chen Jianqiu, this kid, don't look at the two of them are surnamed Chen, they are both clans, but the actual status is 108,000 miles apart, after all, there are many people with the surname Chen, and there must always be a distant relative. He never expected that Chen Jianqiu would silently hug Qi Xuansu's thigh and become Qi Xuansu's follower. The key is that this kid knows a lot about Qingluanwei's insiders, and it's hard to fool the past, so it's troublesome.
Of course, Qi Xuansu took over the Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion for the first time, of course, not to show prestige, nor to make a big deal, but to take a fancy to the large amount of information that Qingluanwei had.
At the beginning, Chen Jianqiu secretly investigated the case, wanted to consult a lot of files, and had to sneak around, and even set up a name, but now Qi Xuansu has taken over the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion openly, and all kinds of files are naturally consulted casually. Many of the things that could not be investigated at the beginning can now be continued to be investigated.
Chen Jianqiu walked in front of Chen Shuhong and saluted.
Chen Shuhong smiled reluctantly: "Yunzheng, speaking of which, your father and I are there
It's better to be a brother than a brother, we ...... back then."
Chen Jianqiu interrupted softly, "Governor, please hand over the key to the treasury."
The Qingluan Weidu Governor's Mansion is not a silver treasury, nor is it an arsenal, and the treasury here is naturally a storage of archives over the years.
Qi Xuansu was on the side, and he couldn't tolerate Chen Shuhong's disagreement, so he had to hand over the key to Chen Jianqiu's hands. At the same time, he scolded in his heart, and the villain was rampant, and now that he is in love with Qi Xuansu, he will not take him seriously.
Qi Xuansu didn't plan to stay too long in the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion, and after leaving enough spirit officials, he left. Most of these spirit officials are close subordinates of Jiayin spirit officials and can be trusted.
Now the palace and the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion are under Qi Xuansu's control, and there is a lot to do. It's just that it's not in a hurry, it's still necessary to follow the steps.
It wasn't until after arranging all this that Qi Xuansu returned to the Water Palace.
On the surface, Qi Xuansu doesn't seem to be in any big trouble, everything is in order, but Qi Xuansu knows that he is suffering, and after this toss, he can only use the word "torment" to describe it, and now he just wants to sleep and recover well.
In a sense, the inheritance of human immortals has many similarities with dragons and wild beasts, the body is strong, the blood is vigorous, and the best means of recovery is to sleep, such as Jiaolong, after suffering heavy blows, they often fall into a long sleep, and when they wake up, the injury will be almost recovered, and the same is true for human immortals.
It's just that Qi Xuansu can't sleep yet, and there are still many things for him to deal with.
Chen Jianqiu also followed Qi Xuansu back to the Water Palace, because she led Qi Xuansu to see the Queen Mother Yang E, and now that something like this happened, she was naturally to blame, and even a little suspicious. She not only has to clear her suspicions, but also blames for her crimes.
Qi Xuansu did not suspect that Chen Jianqiu was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he also wanted to see how Chen Jianqiu would atone his credit.
In fact, Chen Jianqiu's way to atone for his sins was very simple, which was to contribute more information to Qi Xuansu. Direct information, the kind that is conclusive, she doesn't have it, if she has this kind of information, then she probably won't live to Qi Xuan's life in Borneo, and she would have been wiped out a long time ago. But she can provide some circumstantial information, or clues.
Qi Xuansu had already had a feeling that Chen Jianqiu knew a lot of things, but because of her position, she would not say it easily. Qi Xuansu pressed her, and she spit out a little, but if Qi Xuansu didn't press her, she kept silent. After Lan Dazhen's accident, Qi Xuansu was busy with various things and had no time to care about her, so he just took this opportunity to force her.
When he came to Qi Xuansu's signing room, Qi Xuansu sat behind the bookcase, and Chen Jianqiu stood next to him, like a student who was ready to find a gentleman's endorsement.
Chen Jianqiu weighed his words a little and said, "Second seat, you know Wang Jiaoyan, right?"
Qi Xuansu said, "I know. This person is the younger sister of Wang Zhangfu, and the daughter-in-law of the old man Sun Heyu is the same sister."
Chen Jianqiu said: "At that time, Xi must have known that Wang Jiaoyan and Sun Jiaofeng had partnered in a business, and followed the example of Westerners to open a company called Nanyang United Trading Company."
Qi Xuansu narrowed his eyes: "I heard that this Nanyang United Trading Company has a lot of illegal things, do you know the inside story of this?"
Chen Jianqiu shook his head and said, "What I want to say is not this Nanyang United Trading Company, but Wang Jiaoyan himself."
Qi Xuansu said, "Let's hear it."
Chen Jianqiu said: "The second seat should know that most of the Daomen big families are a model, that is, the pillars hold high positions in the Daomen, which is for the sake of face and the backing of the entire family. The other members of the family, under the shadow of face, operate various industries and act as linings to provide financial support for the family. The Wang Zhangfu and the Wang Deputy Mansion Master are developing within the Daofu and holding great power, which is the face, and Wang Jiaoyan is actually the son of the Wang family."
Qi Xuansu nodded, "Go on."
Chen Jianqiu said, "Wang Jiaoyan's husband is Lin Tianhe, the assistant of the City Botang."
In Borneo, there are three assistants sent by the Yujing Nine Hall, the assistants of the Tiangang Hall and the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall are all from Qi Xuansu's side, and the assistants of the Shibo Hall are from Wang Jiaohe's side.
But this is not important information, Qi Xuansu is early
He knew it, so he waited for the rest of the story.
Chen Jianqiu continued: "In fact, Lin Tianhe is not from Borneo, but from Lingnan, and the reason why he came to serve in the Borneo Provincial Government is also the result of the secret operation of the Wang family."
Qi Xuansu was interested, which was something he didn't know.
Chen Jianqiu continued while observing his words, "Wang Jiaoyan and Lin Tianhe met in the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace. It's just that after Wang Jiaoyan was promoted to the Taoist priest of the Four Grades of Sacrifice, he did not seek any position, but handled the Taoist priest of Youfang, did not receive the silver from the Taoist Gate, and generally did not have to listen to the orders of the Taoist Gate, which was tantamount to finding a way out, and Lin Tianhe entered the Shibo Hall as the director, and later steadily climbed up, and finally went to the Borneo Provincial Government as an assistant to the branch hall, and formed a Taoist couple with Wang Jiaoyan."
Qi Xuansu has been a Taoist priest of Youfang, so he naturally knows what is going on with Taoist priests, and he can't say that he doesn't listen to the orders of the Taoist Gate at all, if he encounters a full-scale war, the Taoist Gate issues a first-class mobilization order, whether it is a retreat to the mountains and forests, or a Taoist priest of Youfang, he has to come back to work, but this situation basically does not happen, so under normal circumstances, Taoist priests of Youfang are seeking a way out by themselves, and they can also be called self-fending.
It is also very common for Wang Jiaoyan to hang the identity of a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, such as Qi Duyu and Li Tianyue, who do not serve in the Daomen, but do their own business. To go even higher, Qi Niang is also a Taoist priest of the Four Grades of Sacrifice. It's just that Qi Niang has found another way, not only to run a business, but also to secretly develop power, and even a little bit out of the family to stand on her own, with great energy, which is obviously a level higher than these people, and it is not easy to generalize.
