To be honest, Qian Yulong's attitude was somewhat unexpected by Li Xuandu.

Businessmen value profit over righteousness, logically speaking, after Li Xuandu lost power, even if Qian Yulong still has some personal friendship, he shouldn't be so happy.

Things are more unusual than demons, thinking of the big boat that Li Xuandu saw before crossing the river that was suspected to be Qian Yulou's home, and he already had a fixed opinion in his heart.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I'm okay, I don't know if Brother Qian is okay?"

"Zifu, you can't help it, I've heard some about you, how can you say that it's okay?" Qian Yulong was just halfway through his words, he turned his head sharply and glared at Liu Yushuang: "What are you pinching me for? You pinch me, I also say the same, as a person in Zifu, don't use those clichés." ”

It turned out that Liu Yushuang saw that Qian Yulong was speechless, so she secretly pinched his waist, originally to remind him to pay attention to his words, but when he said this, Liu Yushuang was angry and funny, so she simply ignored him and took a few steps back - whatever you want.

Li Xuandu coughed lightly, did not mention his past, and said: "Brother Qian is the same as back then, but it hasn't changed much. ”

Qian Yulong laughed: "There is money and leisure, there is little hardship of traveling, and it is natural to raise people." ”

Li Xuan was noncommittal and said: "The Qian family is rich, this is something that everyone in the world knows, as for leisure, I'm afraid it may not be." ”

Qian Yulong said with a smile: "The Qian family has been doing so many years, and it has never relied on how a family head is, if all the bets are placed on the virtuous or unvirtuous of a family owner, it is too risky to let the family head bow down to everything, after all, no one can guarantee that the family master will not make mistakes." Our ancestors of the Qian family have an ancestral motto: 'Employing people is the first priority to do great things.' Therefore, the power of the head of the family is actually the power of employing people, putting the right people in the right positions, and the business affairs are all done by the shopkeepers below, and I just need to take care of these shopkeepers. ”

Li Xuandu's heart moved slightly.

Because Qian Yulong's words already meant to put himself in the position of the head of the family, but Li Xuan still didn't know whether the situation had become completely clear, or whether Qian Yulong did it on purpose. Li Xuandu is more inclined to the latter, if the situation of the Qian family is clear now, then why should Qian Yulou run back from the southwest. On the other hand, it is precisely because the situation of the Qian family is uncertain that Qian Yulong's attitude is so abnormal.

Li Xuandu still had a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Qian, although you and I can't talk about knowing each other, we also have a general understanding of each other. ”

The smile on Qian Yulong's face stiffened slightly, and then he waved his hand.

Except for Liu Yushuang, all the maids, including the old woman, all retreated.

Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Liu Yushuang, it seems that this little sister-in-law has a lot of weight in Qian Yulong's mind, and she is afraid that she is not much worse than his wife.

Qian Yulong said softly: "Go to the study to talk." ”

Li Xuandu nodded.

The study is not far from the main hall, compared with the majestic huge study room in the ancestral house of Qian Yulou, this small study seems to be a little untabled, except for a row of small leaf red sandalwood bookshelves against the wall, there is no other special luxury, but it is more popular, obviously the owner often stays here, unlike the big study, just a decoration.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh a little, the study room with extremely gorgeous decoration was actually in the same situation as Qian Yulong's wife, but this was just an ordinary small study, but it was like Liu Yushuang. Therefore, some people win face and lose the lining, and some people lose the face but win the lining.

Qian Yulong sat down behind the bookcase, stretched out his hand and said, "Zifu, sit down." ”

Li Xuandu sat in the guest seat against the wall, and then Liu Yushuang personally brought hot tea to the two.

Li Xuandu bowed his head slightly after taking the bowl, and then listened to Qian Yulong say: "Zifu is a smart person, since Zifu has already said this, then it won't be interesting for me to hide it anymore, but before I say it bluntly, I still want to hear why Zifu came." ”

Li Xuandu said: "I don't know if Brother Qian knows Qin Xiang and Qin Dudu."

Qian Yulong's eyes flashed: "I have heard that it seems that the Governor of Qin is now settled in the Dabao'en Temple in the southern city." ”

Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong: "The Qian family has been rooted in Jinling Mansion for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is half the master of Jinling, and the things on the ground in Jinling Mansion are afraid that they can't hide anything from Brother Qian's eyes, does Brother Qian really not know at all?"

Qian Yulong chuckled: "Okay, I do know something, Zifu is here for this matter?"

Li Xuandu nodded.

Qian Yulong leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said unhurriedly: "Then the Zifu should also know that this matter also involves the Governor of Jiangnan and the Governor of Jingchu, there are three major governors in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, from north to south: Governor of Qizhou, Governor of Jingchu, and Governor of Jiangnan, among which the area under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Jingchu is across Jiangnan and Jiangbei, so these two governors have a very heavy weight on the boundary of Jiangnan, even if it is our Qian family, it is not easy to provoke them." ”

Li Xuandu said: "It's not easy to provoke, it's not that you can't provoke, and it's not that you don't dare to provoke, it can be seen that the Qian family is still not afraid of these two governors." Since Brother Qian didn't refuse, then there is something to talk about. ”

"Those who know me, Li Zifu also. Qian Yulong stretched out his hand and nodded at Li Xuandu, and said with a smile: "If it is a peaceful year, our Qian family will not dare to be involved in such a whirlpool of the court, but now, what ......?"

He lowered his voice: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court is afraid that the strength of the court is about to run out, and our Qian family has to make plans in advance." Just like the ancestral precept of our ancestors, we dare not gamble big, how can we take it? What is a big gamble? It is not the succession of a new monarch to the throne, not the seizure of the succession by the dragons, but the change of dynasty and the change of the sun and the moon into a new sky. ”

The reason why he dared to say these rebellious words to Li Xuandu was because Li Xuandu was a "great rebellious" person, and what Li Xuandu did in the imperial capital back then was even more rebellious than what he said now.

Sure enough, after Li Xuandu heard these words, he was not surprised at all, but smiled and said: "It can be seen that Brother Qian and I are still in the same way." ”

Qian Yulong straightened up, stroked his fingers over a white jade paperweight on the table, and said slowly: "I'm not from the rivers and lakes, nor am I from the temple, I'm a businessman, and businessmen are businessmen, so I also want to ask Zifu to do me a favor." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What's busy?"

Qian Yulong smiled slightly, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth: "Help me take down Qian Yulou." ”

Li Xuandu frowned: "With your means, you can't take her?"

Qian Yulong sighed: "If it's just a Qian Yulou, then what can't be done, the key is that Qian Yulou has made many friends with the five sects in the southwest in the past few years." If it was just a matter of settling some incense, but she did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house, and she also relied on these people to ascend to the position of the head of the Qian family, just like the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty back then, who did everything for power. ”

Li Xuandu frowned and said, "Why don't you directly raise this matter with the clan elders?"

Qian Yulong shook his head and said, "I don't have any real evidence. ”

Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong and was silent.

Qian Yulong continued: "So I want Brother Qingzifu to help me take Qian Yulou down, instead of killing her directly, the so-called catching thieves and taking stolen goods, as long as I catch her handle, I naturally have a way to persuade those old guys." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "If I help you do this, can you help me rescue the Qin Dudu?"

Qian Yulong patted his chest: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." If it were somewhere else, I wouldn't dare to boast like this, but on the territory of Jinling Mansion, there is nothing that our Qian family wants to do but can't do. After all, it's not good for me to use my family's manpower and material resources to deal with Qian Yulou, my own family, but there is no problem in using it to help Zifu, which is called taking what you need. ”

Li Xuandu bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

Qian Yulong didn't urge, and continued to play with the white jade paperweight in his hand, waiting for Li Xuandu's reply.

After about a stick of incense, Li Xuandu raised his head and asked, "What does Brother Qian need me to do?"

Qian Yulong said: "Yu Niang, this matter has always been in charge of you, so it's up to you to talk to Zifu." ”

Liu Yushuang, who had never spoken, finally spoke: "Li Gongzi is a person from the righteous path, he should know the Dao Sect among the five sects in the northwest, right?"
