Chapter 110: Stand in line
Such nonsense shows that Xie Jiaofeng's old oilman essence and public cultivation are profound, and there will never be a clear attitude towards things that can be slid over, and slipping without leaving his hands is like a loach.
But Qi Xuansu insisted on forcing him to stand in line, how could he let him slide over so easily? So Qi Xuansu said: "I came to the Lion City this time, and brought five hundred spirit officer guards, I originally wanted to send three hundred spirit officials to bring these slave traders back, but I was worried about repeating the assassination during the day, and now it seems that my head is still worth some peace money, which has attracted many people's attention." "Xie Jiaofeng originally wanted to say that Tianfu Palace is absolutely safe, please rest assured Chief Qi.
But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he suddenly woke up, and this guarantee could not be given. It's like a military order, and he gave this assurance, it's okay if nothing happens, and if there is another assassination, it will be his full responsibility.
And the sin is even greater, if the last assassination was still caught off guard and did not expect, then the second assassination will have no reason, and even add a sin of knowing his mistake and not changing it, and even without Qin Hengjun, a difficult brother and brother, to help him share the responsibility, after all, Tianfu Palace is your territory, and the man in black can't come.
Xie Jiaofeng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth. But Qi Xuansu's words couldn't help but answer, after all, the official university crushed people to death, so he knew that Qi Xuansu was forcing him to stand in line and express his position, and he knew that this was a pit, so he had to jump into it, and the lesser of the two evils.
So Xie Jiaofeng said: "Since it is a guard, it is natural to put your own duty first, and the safety of Chief Qi first, and strictly prevent accidents like those that happen during the day today." Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and said in a tone of inquiry: "Why don't you let the spirit officer of Tianfu Palace answer it?" At this time, Xie Jiaofeng was still trying his best to get rid of his responsibilities, because he was asking for instructions, so whether Qi Xuansu agreed or not, it was Qi Xuansu's decision, he just acted according to orders.
If Qi Xuansu agreed, and there was a second assassination, then he also had something to say that he was following Chief Qi's order to send people to arrest the slave traders, which caused the defense of Tianfu Palace to be empty, and it could not be blamed on him alone, and Qi Xuansu, who gave the order, should be mainly responsible.
This person can stand tall in the Borneo Provincial Mansion under the rule of Wang Jiaohe as the fourth deputy lord of the mansion, and firmly occupy the key position of the Lion City, so he naturally has some ability.
Qi Xuansu didn't dislike this kind of person, he was originally trying to force Xie Jiaofeng to stand in line publicly, not to frame Xie Jiaofeng, so he didn't care about Xie Jiaofeng's move to shirk responsibility, and said: "Okay, let Director Han and Director Lu take the spirit officials of Tianfu Palace to go over." Xie Jiaofeng was a little relieved when he saw that Qi Xuansu agreed, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer, under the pretext of going to convene the spirit officer to say goodbye first, for fear that Qi Xuansu would give him some problems.
For Xie Jiaofeng, tonight was regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and he didn't make much amends, but almost put himself into it.
Qi Xuansu asked Han Yongfeng and Lu Yuting to be called over and explained. In addition to informing them of the detailed address, the main thing is to let them go quickly and secretly, not to give Nanyang United Trading Company time to react, and when escorting the prisoners back, they are not in a hurry, they might as well make a little movement, and they must let the people in the Lion City know one thing, these are the spiritual officials of Tianfu Palace, and it is the spiritual officials of Tianfu Palace who arrested the people of Nanyang United Trading Company.
In this way, Xie Jiaofeng has made a statement if he doesn't express his position, and everyone will think that Xie Jiaofeng has publicly sided with Qi Xuansu and is going to tear his face with Wang Jiaohe.
No matter how slippery Xie Jiaofeng is, he can't slip it anymore. Xie Jiaofeng had already seen this before, so he shirked and was reluctant in every way, but his handle was grabbed by Qi Xuansu in his hand, and in the end he was pinched by Qi Xuansu.
After Han Yongfeng and Lu Yuting received the order, they took the spirit officer of Tianfu Palace and went straight to the warehouse. Zhang Yuelu didn't plan to show up, if she came to the surface, it wouldn't have much effect, after all, she was the second deputy head of the Lingnan Provincial Mansion, and she couldn't control Xie Jiaofeng and others.
No matter how high Zhang Yuelu's status is, it will not work, and it will be the same if he is replaced by Li Changge and others.
Procedures and systems, rules and regulations are the key to maintaining an organization, and at least the rules must not be broken on the surface.
The assassination of Qi Xuansu is an act of bad rules, and burning the True Martial Arts Temple is also an act of bad rules, but the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught, and there is no evidence, so it is not a violation of the rules on the surface.
But once caught, it will be a dead end immediately, at least the life in Daomen is officially over, and whether you can continue to live in another identity depends on your ability.
Now, Chen Shuhua, who directly broke the rules from the surface, has become a lost dog, and Qi Xuansu and Wang Jiaohe are still fighting within the scope of the rules, so it is not that the two of them are out of battle to shout, it is not that Qi Zhenren and Wang Zhenren have a fight, and who wins who speaks, but that the two are fighting against Nanyang United Trading Company.
The things on the bright side have Qi Xuansu to deal with, and there are not many Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu continues to hide in the dark, and with the help of the Purple Light Society, he can play a greater role.
And Qi Xuansu is on the bright side, there are countless pairs of eyes watching every move, the target is too big, Zhang Yuelu used to make the target bigger, it is better to let Qi Xuansu attract firepower, and Zhang Yuelu is better to perform.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Lion City knew the news. The people of Tianfu Palace raided a warehouse of the Nanyang United Trading Company, arrested three stewards and more than 50 private soldiers, and successfully rescued more than 40 slaves of various colors.
It is a superficial consensus that the slave trade is strictly forbidden and inhumane. So overnight, Xie Qingtian became famous in the Lion City.
Everyone said that Deputy Mansion Master Xie's statement in front of Chief Qi was not false, it was real, just do what he said, and he couldn't wait for a night.
The key contradiction between Qi Zhenren and Wang Zhenren is not a secret, Deputy Mansion Master Xie is pointing the finger at Wang Zhenren.
Xie Jiaofeng knows that he has suffering, and he also has suffering. But he thought about it, now that he was on
"Thief ship", there is no room to turn back, so he has to go all the way to the dark, simply go to the death, kill Wang Zhenren, and let Qi Zhenren win, then he will not lose, at least he is a hero.
Thinking of this section, Xie Jiaofeng became energetic, and he didn't even need Qi Xuansu's instructions to take the initiative to send someone to summon the senior manager of the Nanyang United Trading Company and order them to give an explanation to the Daofu.
If it is not possible to give a reasonable explanation that satisfies the provincial government, then don't blame the provincial government for being polite, the provincial government will arrest the relevant people and others in accordance with the law, even including the shareholders of Nanyang United Trading Company.
This is exactly what Qi Xuansu wants to see, after such an operation, don't care what Xie Jiaofeng thinks in his heart, and don't care that Xie Jiaofeng will not hold a grudge against him, at least Xie Jiaofeng is consistent with him in pace, for Qi Xuansu, this is enough.
On the other hand, Qi Xuansu asked Han Yongfeng to start interrogating the three senior executives, Sun Guanshi, and Chen Guanshi, intending to open a breakthrough in these three people and get conclusive evidence.
In this kind of evenly matched struggle, there are many people who sit in the middle and watch, and whoever can get a big advantage in advance will be able to win the support of these centrists very well, and finally the advantage will be converted into a winning situation, that is, the general trend, and the other side will be leveled with the momentum of destroying and decaying.
If the situation is always anxious and no one can do anything about it, then it is very likely that it will end up in mutual compromise.
Among these centrists, Qi Xuansu attaches great importance to Taiping Qianzhuang, that is, Hu Fuli. Hu Fuli's real name is Hu Songting, and his ancestor was a famous anti-Japanese minister of the previous dynasty and a person from Luzhou.
Cihang Zhenren is a person from Jiangzhou, Luzhou is not far from Jiangzhou, a river apart, whether it is the previous dynasty, or this dynasty, Luzhou, Jiangzhou, Wuzhou are under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Governor, from here, Hu Songting and Cihang Zhenren are considered to be fellow villagers.
Because of this reason, Qi Xuansu almost won Hu Songting last time by relying on a "Red Arhat Picture" by Cihang Zhenren, Hu Songting accepted the "Red Arhat Picture", and also led Qi Xuansu into the treasury of the Nanyang General Account of Taiping Qianzhuang, but unfortunately the situation in Thang Long Mansion suddenly changed, causing Qi Xuansu to give up halfway and hurriedly leave Lion City and return to Thang Long Mansion, resulting in unfinished work.
Now that Qi Xuansu has returned to Lion City, he naturally wants to cut off the front
"Line" is continued. Qi Xuansu didn't want to attack with just one point, but wanted to bloom more. The matter of checking slaves is one point, and the audit of accounts is another.
Many of the accounts of Nanyang United Trading Company are taken from Taiping Money, as long as the breakthrough of Taiping Money, then it is almost pinching half of the dead hole of Nanyang United Trading Company.
So Qi Xuansu visited Hu Songting's residence again, and there were only three people with him, in addition to Chen Jianqiu and Xiao Yin, there was also Jiayin Lingguan.
Previously, Jiayin Lingguan also felt that it was a bit of a fuss to let him be Qi Xuansu's temporary guard, in the territory of the Daomen, except for Chen Shuhua, who would dare to assassinate Qi Xuansu?
Even if it was Chen Shuhua, he could only hide and lick his wounds now, and it was impossible for him to come and kill Qi Xuansu. But he never thought that someone would really dare to assassinate him, and it was in the Lion City, in full view of everyone.
If it weren't for the little girl beside Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu would be seriously injured if he didn't die. Therefore, after hearing the news of Qi Xuansu's assassination, the Jiayin Lingguan couldn't take care of many affairs of the Old Port Xuanwei Division, and after hastily arranging it for his deputy, he immediately rushed to the Lion City - this is also the reason why those assassins are so impatient, this is almost the time when Qi Xuansu is the most vulnerable, and his cultivation is greatly damaged, and Jiayin Lingguan is not by his side.
When the Jiayin Spirit Officer came over, they didn't have much of a chance. After Jiayin Lingguan arrived here, the most reassuring person was not Qi Xuansu, but Xie Jiaofeng, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that he has no turning back at this time, no matter whether Qi Xuansu will be assassinated again or not, he can only go all the way to the dark.
