Actually, it's a little far-fetched to say it's a cousin.

There is a very counterintuitive fact, the ancestral homes of the Xiao family and the Quanzhen Dao Pei family are in Qizhou, and they are old neighbors for many years with the Li family and the Sage's Mansion.

The ancestral home of the Li family is in Beihai Mansion, the ancestral home of the Xiao family is in Langya Mansion, and the ancestral residence of the Pei family is in Lanling Mansion.

Langya Mansion Xiao family inheritance years, far more than Lanling Mansion Pei, there are six side branches, respectively, the North Ancestral House, the South Ancestral House, the West Beijing Room, the Emperor Jing Room, the Beihai House, Langya Room, these six rooms of the Xiao family from the same ancestor, but after more than 1,000 years of inheritance, they have been relatively distant from each other, and each has a ancestor of the house, saying that it is a vein is also a vein, and it is not a vein or a vein.

Xiao Yuehua was born in Beihai Fang, Xiao Yueru was born in Beizu Fang, and in terms of blood, it is not very close. However, the relationship between these two veins is relatively close, so Xiao Yuehua and Xiao Yueru talked about cousins.

Qi Xuansu came here this time mainly to investigate the case, not to visit Putuo Island, so after a little greeting with Xiao Yuehua, he led Liuhu to the place where Gu Ying was held.

Putuo Island has the Lotus Yang Afternoon Crossing, the Short Gu Holy Trace, the Spring Dawn of Meiwan, the Sunset of Pantuo, the Night Moon of the Lotus Pond, the Fahua Spirit Cave, the Tide of the Ancient Cave, the Sunrise and the Sun, the Thousand Steps of Jinsha, the Bright Snow Ji, the Tea Mountain and the Fog, and the Twelve Landscapes of Tianmen Qingfan. Nantianmen, Puji Temple, Houshan, Xitian, Fayu Temple, Foding Mountain, Fanyin Cave, Zizhu Forest, and Luojia Mountain are also famous.

However, since the beginning of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Puji Temple and Fayu Temple have been rebuilt into Taoist temples, becoming Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Foding Mountain has become Daoding Mountain, Fanyin Cave has become Miaoyin Cave, various Buddha statues have been destroyed one after another, even the huge statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva has been changed to Cihang Pudu Tianzun, anyway, it is a person, only the West Heaven and Luojia Mountain have been preserved, and the traces of the "Haitian Buddha Kingdom" can be seen.

This is not forced by Xuansheng or Donghuang, but Cihang took the initiative to rebuild, and these women's perception and sense of smell of wind changes can be seen.

Gu Ying and others were imprisoned in the Fayu Temple.

Qi Xuansu walked into the door of the Fayu Temple, and Zhang Qingyue had already greeted him, "Chief Qi."

"Haven't recruited yet?" Qi Xuansu got straight to the point.

Zhang Qingyue shook her head.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to interrogate Gu Ying, he wanted to interrogate another person, who had just been arrested and was also a party to the first Jiangnan case.

This person's name is Ma Jinguo, not a person from the Daomen, but an assistant deputy chief military officer of the South China Sea Naval Division, who escaped because of this identity. This is also to be expected, this kind of thing is not involved in the court is a strange thing.

It is well known that Taiping Dao had an impact on the East China Sea Division

It was very big, and Zhengyi had a great impact on the South China Sea Sailors, Zhang Kucheng said hello, and the South China Sea Sailors intended to cooperate, so they took down this person. Of course, this is not in accordance with the rules, and officials at this level must consult the emperor, and the situation is very complicated.

However, Zhang Kucheng couldn't take care of it, and wanted to come to a prelude first.

This is not without precedent, although in principle, the people of the imperial court can only be dealt with by the imperial court, and the people of the Taoist can only be handled by the Taoist gate, but when it is actually implemented, only the "people of the Taoist gate can only be handled by the Taoist gate" has been better implemented, and the first half of the article is a bit of a nominal death. After the attack on the Eastern Emperor and the period of the Five Dynasties of Great Palmism, there were two peaks, as long as the reason was justified, it was not uncommon for people from the Daomen to directly interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.

That is, now that the position of the Great Master of the Daomen is vacant, and the Emperor Jiushi is a strong emperor, he has regained his disadvantage and began to not interfere with the river water.

However, the imperial court has a congenital disadvantage in this regard, although the Northern Daomen is the foundation and core of the imperial court, it has absorbed a large number of Confucian people. Every time the Daomen interfered with the imperial court, most of them held high the banner of the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, and the imperial court had to give in. Because the belief of the Great Xuan Court must be a Taoist gate, it cannot be shaken for half a point, this is the rule set by Xuan Sheng and Emperor Gaozu.

There are also some court officials and generals who are originally Taoist priests, with the dual identity of officials and Taoist priests, and the Taoist gate directly uses the laws of Taoism to deal with these officials with Taoist status, and the imperial court has nothing to say. Whoever makes them Taoist priests, Taoist priests have to obey the laws of Taoism. The Daxuan Imperial Court could not let the officials and generals give up the status of Taoist priests, because the emperor had the status of super-grade Taoist priests, and the officials gave up Taoist priests

Identity, will the emperor give it up? This shakes the foundation.

Because of this, Emperor Jiushi wanted to seize power from the hands of the Daomen, and even served as the head of the Daomen. Such a lame emperor is really aggrieved.

All in all, Zhang Kucheng took a great risk to arrest this deputy chief military officer, nominally to assist in the investigation, but in fact used some forceful means.

If the trial comes out, then everything will be fine, no matter how it can be explained, and the court will be at a loss, and it will be over. But if it can't be tried, Zhang Kucheng and Qi Xuansu will be in big trouble, and the imperial court can really let the two of them go around without eating, after all, the Daxuan Imperial Court is not one of those small countries, but a real behemoth.

This is actually very similar to Wang Jiaohe's arrest of Chen Jianqiu, both of which do not pay attention to procedures. Qi Xuansu was able to successfully counterattack because Zhang Yuelu and Yuheng Star Lord blocked Sun Heyu, and Xiao Yin also took a sword for this. Wang Jiao

Crane didn't get enough evidence, and there were problems with the procedure, so he naturally fell into passivity.

But if Sun Heyu takes down Chen Jianqiu and confirms Chen Jianqiu's crimes, then Qi Xuansu's counterattack in the Daofu deliberations will be very pale and weak, and facts speak louder than words. At that time, non-compliance with procedures is a small problem, and your Qi Xuansu's secretary secretly communicates with a secret association is a big problem, no matter what Qi Xuansu says, Wang Jiaohe can come back with a word - don't avoid the important and light.

Now, Zhang Kucheng is standing in the position of Wang Jiaohe, and the Daxuan court is standing in the position of Qi Xuansu at the beginning. Qi Xuansu played the role of Sun Heyu at the beginning, and if he could get enough evidence, there would be no big problem. If you can't get it, you will fall into the same passivity as Wang Jiaohe.

The people of the imperial court can question Qi Xuansu and Zhang Kucheng, what are you going to do?

Because of this, Qi Xuansu was very stressed, so he interrogated him personally.

Under the guidance of Zhang Qingyue, Qi Xuansu came to the temporarily reconstructed interrogation room.

On the way here, Qi Xuan had already read Ma Jinguo's dossier, and he probably knew it in his heart.

This person's experience is quite complicated, he has the identity of a Taoist priest, but he is a wild Taoist priest, so he has a lot of habits in the rivers and lakes. This point is somewhat similar to Qi Xuansu. However, after Qi Xuansu focused on the Daomen, he quickly got rid of those habits in the rivers and lakes, the more he said the official words, the more he spoke, the more he said them, and he never said the black words of the rivers and lakes again, and those who didn't know thought that he was from a family, and he had been exposed to it since he was a child.

Dealing with this kind of Jianghu people, Qi Xuansu is not a stranger.

Under the escort of the two spirit officers, Ma Jinguo walked in, wearing special shackles on his body, which were enough to lock ordinary celestials, and his gaze suddenly fell straight on Qi Xuansu's body.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Master Ma, do you know who I am?"

"I can probably guess that it's Chief Qi." Ma Jinguo said slowly.

Qi Xuansu instructed the two spirit officers to "bring a chair for Master Ma."

The two spirit officers moved a chair and placed it opposite Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand, "Sit down."

Ma Jinguo was a little surprised, looked at Qi Xuansu, and sat down.

He is a disciple of seven generations, and he was unsatisfactory in the Daomen, so he went to mix the rivers and lakes, and then he happened to become a man in black, first on land, and then on the sea, after decades of ups and downs, and finally mixed with a deputy chief military officer who assisted in the guard, and he was also a person with a lot of experience. He originally thought that this Chief Qi, who relied on fighting tigers, would come first, but he didn't expect it to be so peaceful, and for a while, he couldn't figure out what kind of mind Qi Xuansu was thinking.

<

br> so Ma Jinguo lowered his eyebrows, "I don't dare to be called an adult."

Qi Xuansu was also polite, "Then I'll call him by his name."

Ma Jinguo replied, "Yes."

Qi Xuansu went straight to the topic, "Ma Jinguo, do you still have any impressions about the first Jiangnan case?"

Just this sentence, Ma Jinguo's face was a little pale, but he was also a person who had experienced the storms, so he immediately stabilized his mentality and replied, "Chief Hui Qi, of course I remember. Fang Linhou, the main culprit in this case, has already been sentenced to death by the Daomen."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "How much money Fang Linhou was greedy for, do you know?"

"I don't know." Ma Jinguo replied crisply, "I haven't paid attention to this case."

Qi Xuansu was still calm, "How is your relationship with Fang Linhou?"

"In the same Jiangnan, it is inevitable that there will be some intersections, nodding friends." Majin National Highway.

Qi Xuansu said unhurriedly, "Since it is a nodding friend, then why did Fang Linhou put 20,000 Taiping money, 30,000 Taiping money, and 35,000 Taiping money into your account in the thirty-sixth year of Jiushi, the thirty-seventh year of Jiushi, and the thirty-eighth year of Jiushi?" Even a year before the crime, he was still giving you 'dividends?'

Ma Jinguo was silent for a moment.

He didn't know why he was being arrested, but now he knew.

Qi Xuansu raised his voice, "Talk back."

Ma Jinguo had to reply, "I don't understand what Chief Qi meant, Fang Linhou has never sent me money."

Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Hu beside him, "Do you know who she is?"

Ma Jinguo raised his head and glanced at Liuhu, then lowered his head again, "I don't know."

Qi Xuansu said, "She is Liu Shiying's daughter."

Hearing the name "Liu Shiying", Ma Jinguo's whole body trembled.

Qi Xuansu said, "Liu Shiying is an old accountant, shrewd and capable, if it weren't for that, Fang Linhou wouldn't have handed over the accounts to him. Do you think Liu Shiying will leave an account, just in case? Although Liu Shiying is dead and killed, his daughter is not dead, and those credentials have not been found, haven't you been looking for them all these years?"

Ma Jinguo's hands trembled, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

Qi Xuansu took out the account books and vouchers, "Unfortunately, I found all the people you didn't find, the things you didn't find. Ma Jinguo, did you take the initiative to explain? Or don't you shed tears when you don't see the coffin?"
