The mirror was connected, and the sudden contact between Qi Jiao and Qi Xuansu was very unexpected.

Because the two had just met, at the apprenticeship ceremony, Qi Jiaozheng was also among the invited guests, and personally congratulated the two. At this time, he had just returned to Shuzhou.

Seriously, the two didn't have any holidays, and even because of Qi Duyu's business, they had some intersections.

The relationship between the two parties is generally harmonious, but Qi Xuansu used the "Mother and Child Mirror" to contact him, which means that it is not a private matter, but a public matter.

"Tian Yuan, is there anything you can't say to your face when you're in Yujing?" Qi Jiaozheng didn't know what was going on yet, and his tone was more casual.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Qi Wangui and said, "Wan Miao Zhenren, I am in the Vientiane Dao Palace at this time, and the day before yesterday, there was a murder, and a female teacher was killed. Because of Senior Brother Qi's matter, I thought that it was the demons of the secret association who were making trouble, so after reporting to Shi Da Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren, and Cihang Zhenren, I sent someone to strictly investigate the case, wanting to find out the demon hidden inside the Vientiane Dao Palace. It's just ......".??.

Qi Jiaozheng was not a child, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and his face became solemn, "Just what?"

"The case has been solved, but it is not a secret association to commit the crime, but it involves some people in the upper echelons of the Dao Palace." Qi Xuansu said.

Qi Jiaozheng can be regarded as the ups and downs of the sea for many years, and when it comes to this, he has quickly locked on a person, Qi Wangui.

After all, there are only two core members of the Qi family who have a relationship with the Vientiane Dao Palace, one is Qi Jianyuan who died in the Vientiane Dao Palace, and the other is Qi Wangui, who is an assistant in the Vientiane Dao Palace.

Qi Jiaozheng's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Something to do with Qi Wangui?"

"Yes." Qi Xuansu said, "Qi Wangui bought the murderer, and the hired 'inn killer has confessed, and there is even a voice, the evidence is conclusive."

Qi Jiaozheng was silent for a moment, and he was thinking quickly, including Qi Wangui's motives, as well as Qi Xuansu's motives, and so on.

Then Qi Jiaozheng came to a preliminary conclusion, I am afraid that this matter is not Qi Xuansu provoking himself, but Qi Wangui is doing something.

My family knows my own business.

What kind of virtue Qi Wangui is, he still knows something, his heart is higher than the sky, and he has more than enough success and failure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't hate this clan uncle so much and reprimand him at every turn.

Doing such a thing now is also in line with his impression of Qi Wangui.

In other words, Qi Xuansu did not provoke himself, but came to himself to ask for an explanation. If he can't give an explanation, then Qi Xuansu has to solve it himself.

Do you want to keep it all back?

Qi Jiaozheng didn't give an attitude immediately, but asked, "Why did Qi Wangui buy murder?"

Qi Xuansu replied, "It's still under investigation. However, according to the confession of the inn killer Gu Dalin and the voice, Qi Wangui personally said that it was related to the position of the real person in charge of the palace."

There are some things that don't need to be too detailed.

Qi Jiaozheng has already understood, after all, it has been rumored outside recently that Qi Xuansu may be the real person in charge of the Vientiane Dao Palace, and it is conceivable what Qi Wangui can do.

As for why he killed someone, it was nothing more than a set of false accusations. The Qi Sect has been in the Daomen for many years, and I have seen a lot.

Things have developed to this point, and Qi Jiaozheng only feels a headache.

It's just a matter of provoking Qi Xuansu, and he also made people arrest him on the spot.

Qi Xuansu came to say hello for the sake of his face. Just didn't say hello and directly returned Qi Wan, what could he do?

Starting from personal feelings, Qi Jiaozheng didn't want to care about Qi Wangui at all, he deserved it, and he didn't have to worry about it if he died. However, as the patriarch of the Qi family, Qi Jiaozheng can't do this, if he really wants to ignore Qi Wangui completely, the clansmen must have an explanation. Even if you know that you can't save it, you have to put on a posture of doing your best.

It's just that he really tried his best and didn't save him, and others would say that he was crushed by Qi Xuansu.

You must know that Qi Xuansu has not yet entered the Golden Gate, which will weigh him down, and it will be a great deal for his prestige

Hit. In fact, Qi Jiaozheng also knew that Qi Xuansu's achievements were far above him, and it was certain that he would be overwhelmed in the future. But here's the problem, the future is later, and the present is now.

Qi Xuansu is a great real person, or as a great master, it is reasonable to press him, no one thinks it is wrong, and no one will say anything, let alone have any impact. But Qi Xuansu, as an ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, pressed him, which was very unreasonable, and others would think he was weak.

There is a very simple logic in this, Daomen Sanxiu plus Qi Xuansu, most of the future eight generations of Great Masters are selected from these people, this is a recognized and default thing. But no one who knows the real person because of the future will grovel when facing the four people now, and they are not small masters and old slaves, but dignified Taoist priests, and they still want to be decent. Even if he is in charge of teaching, he should be polite to these seniors and old Taoist friends who have made contributions to the Daomen.

The Dao Gate is

Those who talk about "civilization" are not feudal courts that bow down at every turn.

Speaking of the problem of weakness, this is a bit like the momentum of the two when they fight, which is more metaphysical and cannot be ignored. The strength of the two people is equal and the skills are equal, that is, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Many times, the struggle is the wind at the end of the duckweed, no one shouts and kills as soon as they come up, there is a tentative behavior and signal, see the other party's reaction, and then decide the next action.

Take Xiao Yin's matter as an example, the action here is not big, it is actually a temptation. Zhang Yuelu's concern was chaotic, it was related to Xiao Yin, and she lost her square inch, and finally chose to back down. What signal does this give to others? That is weakness. thought that she and Qi Xuansu were worried, retreated, and wanted to settle things.

There is a saying that loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolute disloyalty.

There is also a saying that if you don't support it, you are against.

Whether these two sentences are right or not, I don't care. A basic logic can be reflected here, that is, if there is no clear-cut attitude, it is ambiguous, and ambiguity is encouragement in disguise.

Zhang Yuelu chose to apologize and leave, which was a disguised encouragement for Qi Wangui to continue to work and let go of his hands, instead of stopping here.

To put it bluntly, someone targeting Xiao Yin is actually an offensive signal, and Zhang Yuelu should be alert, but at that time, Zhang Yuelu was busy with the new policy, and he really didn't have the energy to pay attention to the Vientiane Dao Palace, which was understandable.

Therefore, Zhang Yuelu objectively played a role in luring the enemy into depth.

Qi Xuansu is considered weak by others, what is it in exchange? It's kicking the nose and face, and it's getting worse. If Qi Xuansu chooses to back down this time, there will be more people and more actions in the future. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu used thunderous means to get rid of Qi Wangui, which showed his attitude and could deter some people.

Qi Jiaozheng was also facing this kind of predicament at this time, if he was weak, he might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. For example, some people will think that Qi Xuansu's attempt to take Qi Wangui is a temptation and signal to attack Qi Jiaozheng, and they will jump out to attack Qi Jiaozheng.

But if it is directly confronted by Qi Xuansu, it is not Qi Jiaozheng's original intention, and it is not in the interests of the Qi family.

The principle of yin and yang, the way of compromise. Although it is useful, the scale is difficult to grasp.

Qi Jiaozheng finally broke the silence: "He broke the law, and I have nothing to say. Tianyuan, you can inform me in advance, I will accept this love. It's just that I still have a reluctant request."

Qi Xuansu immediately said, "Wan Miao Zhen

Please speak."

Qi Jiao Zhengdao, "How should Qi Wangui be sentenced, whether it is to be punished by the canon, and the Fengxian Hall is responsible. I have only one request, or rather request, can I minimize the impact of this? Don't make a lot of noise in the city, everyone knows about it, it's better to keep a low profile."

Qi Xuansu didn't hesitate at all, "Of course you can."

Qi Jiaozheng was stunned, he probably didn't expect Qi Xuansu to be so happy, but when he came into contact with Qi Xuansu's eyes again, his heart couldn't help but move.

Qi Sect is the old man of Daomen, how many years of ups and downs, for some things that can only be understood but not spoken, not only sensitive, but also transparent.

Qi Xuansu said, "Of course you can", you can do this no

Meaning I would do it.

That's the condition.

Qi Sect Zheng comprehended his thoughts, and then said, "Tianyuan, if I'm not mistaken, you will accompany the Daoists of the West Daomen to Jiangnan Daofu next?"

Qi Xuansu replied, "Yes, the Taoist friends of the West Daomen want to visit the Jiangnan Provincial Government, after all, the development and construction are inseparable from the economy, since the Great Wei Dynasty, Jiangnan is a heavy tax area, the economy is developed, and the Taoist friends of the West Daomen go there to visit and study, which is also the proper meaning."

It is worth mentioning here that the three major tax areas in the Central Plains are Qizhou, Jiangnan and Lingnan. The reason is not complicated, these three places are close to the sea, have excellent ports, and have developed industry and trade. However, because Huangfuji had already visited Nanyang, he no longer went to Lingnan Province, which is adjacent to Nanyang, and this time only Jiangnan Province and Qizhou Province were selected.

Qi Jiaozheng deliberately muttered, "I happen to be free in the last few days, and I will go to Jiangnan."

Qi Xuansu still didn't understand.

Qi Jiaozheng is going to meet and talk in detail.

Qi Xuansu said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang and Wan Miao Zhenren are also old acquaintances, except for the occasional meeting in Yujing on official business, they haven't moved for a long time since they have been seen for forty-one years."

Qi Xuansu said that at the end of the forty-first year of Jiuzhi, Qi Jiaozheng led 36 high-grade Taoist priests of Quanzhen Dao to visit Yunjin Mountain, presented gifts and greetings from the earth master to the heavenly master, and went to the family temple of the Dazhen Mansion on behalf of the Quanzhen Dao to worship Shangguanguan, the first earth master after the Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen. On the night of the eighth day of the lunar month, the Heavenly Master personally held a banquet in the Dazhen Mansion to entertain a group of high-grade Taoist priests from the Quanzhen Dao, accompanied by a high-grade Taoist priest headed by Zhang Ji.

Qi Xuansu coincided with his meeting and just accompanied Zhang Yuelu back to his parents' house for the first time. It's just that at that time, he still had to look up to these two real people. In the blink of an eye, it was already time to be on an equal footing.
