Hu Fuli knew very well what Qi Xuansu's intentions were. He was considered the number one figure in Nanyang, but he was not yet at the stage where Qi Xuansu could please him so much.
Qi Xuansu is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. He is interested in the account book in his hand. Moreover, he is determined to win it. Now he is actually polite first and then fight. If he is too soft, he will probably rob it by force.
Hu Fuli knew very well that if he handed over the account book, he would offend most of the Taoist government in Borneo. But if he didn't hand it over, Qi Xuansu would be fine. After all, Taiping Bank and the Taoism were not in the same line, and Qi Xuansu could not do anything to him.
But the pressure on Master Cihang is different. A big shot at this level is only one step away from the great leader. To say that she can't influence Taiping Bank is to deceive herself. What's more, there is a Master Donghua.
Don’t forget, it was Donghua Zhenren who promoted Qi Xuansu to Nanyang as the second deputy palace master. ??
The two princes joined forces to exert pressure, while the other prince was still at Fenglinzhou battlefield.
Can it be said that the attitude of the two real people is that of Jin Que?
Thinking of this, Hu Fuli couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Everyone said that Jin Que wanted to move the Borneo Taoist Palace. Including him, they all thought that it would be about beating them, killing chickens to scare monkeys, and taking down one or two deputy palace masters. But no one expected that Jin Que would
His determination was so strong that it threatened to uproot him.
The thing is already obvious. Is it worth the "expense" of Master Cihang just to win one or two deputy palace masters?
In this case, he had to accept it.
Because there are only two choices now, either to remain stubborn and collusive, or to correct the chaos and return to the wrong path.
In short, you are either a friend or an enemy.
Hu Fuli smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to say goodbye to this gift given by my elders. Please come together to express my gratitude to...the real person on my behalf. I am flattered and frightened."
After all, he did not reveal the identity of Master Cihang, he just referred to him as a real person. After all, the upper echelons of the Taoist sect were all real people.
Qi Xuansu smiled, "Hu Fuli's words are serious. The real person has always admired Hu Fuli. He has long said that Hu Fuli is a person who knows the general situation and understands the overall situation. He deserves it."
This is nonsense. Master Cihang did give Qi Xuansu a list, including Hu Fuli, but she would not comment on them one by one. Qi Xuansu had to make a decision after personally understanding the situation.
Of course Hu Fuli would not point this out, he just nodded.
Qi Xuansu changed the topic, "Hu Fuli should be very clear about the current overall situation. Our views are the same."
Hu Fuli said, "There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. They should indeed be consistent."
Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and said directly, "There are no two suns in the sky. There is only one sun in the sky in Nanyang, and that is
Taoism, but some people compare themselves to the moon. We all know that the essence of moonlight is sunlight, and it is the moon that borrows the light from the sun. The moon hides under the shadow of the sun, just like the second sun."
Hu Fuli didn't understand. This "someone" was referring to Wang Jiaohe, the real person in charge. He, the real person in charge, couldn't shine on his own. He borrowed the light of the Taoist sect, or relied on the power of the Taoist sect to control Borneo.
During the day, the sun illuminates all things, but at night, the moon rises, using the sun's light instead of the sun to illuminate all things. Whose world is this?
Qi Xuansu's analogy may not be very appropriate, but its intention is very clear.
At this time, Zhou Xiangli, who was accompanying him, came back - he had just gone to arrange the dinner.
"Assistant manager." Zhou Yonghe said softly.
Hu Fuli nodded slightly, "Come and sit."
Qi Xuansu and Hu Fuli sat on the left and right respectively, with an empty chair next to them. Qi Xuansu's side was naturally reserved for Ke Qingqing, and Hu Fuli's side was reserved for Zhou Yonghe.
After Zhou Yonghe sat down, Hu Fuli asked, "Is the treasury ready?"
"It has been arranged." Zhou Yonghe was slightly surprised, but he replied immediately.
Of course, this was not because Hu Fuli expected Qi Xuansu to take out the painting, but because of his many years of experience, he was accustomed to making two preparations, just in case, which came in handy this time.
Hu Fuli nodded slightly and looked at Qi Xuansu, "The second-in-command wants to see the treasury. Due to the rules, I have to write to the superior for instructions first. Now that the superior has replied and agreed, can the second-in-command please move on?"
Let alone talk about death, it is just for this kind of time, one can ask the superiors for instructions and move forward and retreat freely. If there is no problem, it means that the superiors do not agree, and I am not deliberately making things difficult. If something goes wrong, you can turn the ship around in time, just like this at this moment.
"Okay." Qi Xuansu stood up.
Hu Fuli and Zhou Yonghe also stood up.
Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhou Yonghe and pointed out something, "Hu Fuli has a good subordinate. I have a shallow foundation and don't have many confidants. My secretary is not very old, but he is not as good as Hu Fuli's Zhou Xiangli."
Zhou Yonghe lowered his head slightly subconsciously, not daring to look at Qi Xuansu.
Hu Fuli said, "I'm sorry for my parents, who worked hard to give birth to me. In life, the most unrepayable kindness is the kindness of parents in raising them. But nine out of ten sons think that it is right for their parents to treat him well. Sons take their parents' kindness as a matter of course.
Disciples regard the master's kindness as repayment, the kindness of knowing and encountering, and re-creating
That's all the kindness you have given me. Even if the subordinates you brought out with me are not as good as your disciples, they are not much different."
What Hu Fuli said was sincere. Regardless of whether it came from the heart or not, at least it sounded true to Qi Xuansu. Moreover, Qi Xuansu felt deeply about these words because of his special experience. It was so painful that his spleen and lungs ached. Thinking of Qiniang and his master, then
A feeling of sympathy suddenly came to my mind, but I suppressed it quickly.
Qi Xuansu sighed, "I'm sorry for my parents, they worked so hard to give birth to me."
The words that had already been drafted were no longer spoken.
The treasury of the Nanyang Headquarters is located in the Lion City. It is as heavily guarded as the Nanting Protectorate. It is isolated from the world with high walls, strong gates, and formations.
However, the two thick doors slowly opened today. There are also soldiers here, not spiritual officers, not men in black, but the unique Taiping Guards of the Taiping Bank.
The treasury is located underground. After entering the courtyard, there is a portal. This portal was made by Tianjitang. It is clever and sophisticated. There are three keys in total. They are held by Hu Fuli and Zhou Yonghe, the leaders of the Taiping Guard here. All three of them must be present to open it.
To open the vault, if it is accidentally lost, you can only use the spare key from the main bank of Taiping Bank.
At this time, the three of them arrived and inserted the key into the keyhole together. With the sound of the mechanism clicking, the heavy door, which was three feet thick, slowly opened.
Behind the door is a long downward passage. In order to facilitate the transportation of gold, this passage is very wide. Even carriages can enter and exit freely, allowing two vehicles to go parallel. There is another door at the end of the passage.
Going all the way down, passing through three portals, and reaching a place about ten feet underground, you have entered the inner core of the treasury. The entire treasury is guarded by special formations. The earth energy is connected to the Lion City, and the earth escape technique is also used.
Well, you can't get in even if you travel through Yin and Yang, you can only get in through the door, and that heavy door can withstand the bombardment of "Dragon Eye A-3".
Hu Fuli personally led the way, and Qi Xuansu followed behind.
To be fair, Qi Xuansu has never seen so much money in his life.
The shelves made of fine steel are filled with gold bricks. Each gold brick is of average size and is engraved with the four words "Peace and Worry-free".
In addition to gold bricks, there is also worry-free money neatly organized.
As for ordinary peace coins and silver ingots, they can only be placed in boxes.
At Hu Fuli's signal, Zhou Yonghe introduced to Qi Xuansu, "As of the beginning of this month, a total of 1.32 million taels of gold ingots and bricks have been put into the warehouse, and 8.42 million taels of silver ingots have been put into the warehouse. Worry-free money is 300,000 taels."
Yuan, 17.63 million yuan in Taiping money."
Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion, "It is said that there are mountains of gold and silver, and today I finally saw it. The lifeblood of the entire Nanyang should be here, right?"
>
Zhou Yonghe said: "Only when money circulates can commerce and trade prosper. The gold and silver here are more used for 'ballast' to prevent unexpected events."
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Are the relevant important accounts also here?"
Zhou Yonghe immediately looked at Hu Fuli.
Hu Fuli was silent for a moment and asked, "Qi Cixi wants to check the accounts?"
"No, I'm just curious." Qi Xuansu said, "I don't dare to randomly check Taiping Bank's accounts without the permission of the four assistants. I just want to know if there are other accounts besides Taiping Bank's accounts.
Account."
For a moment, the vault became quiet.
Hu Fuli thought about it for a long time, but still did not speak. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yonghe, "Xiao Zhou is in charge of this aspect. I don't know much about the situation."
Zhou Yonghe had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Probably some."
Qi Xuansu asked, "Whose accounts are these?"
Zhou Yonghe could only look at Hu Fuli.
Hu Fuli said softly, "There is no one else here. Don't worry about others knowing. Just say what you have to say."
"It's all human relations, it's really hard to refuse." Zhou Yonghe said euphemistically.
Qi Xuansu then asked, "Actually, Zhou Xiangli can directly say, are there any people from the Taoist sect? In other words, are there any people from the Taoist sect?"
Zhou Yonghe was forced into a corner and could only say, "Yes."
Qi Xuansu finally asked, "Among these Taoist people, are there any accounts of the Palace Master Wang and Chief Chen?"
Zhou Yonghe whispered, "Only from the book, no."
Qi Xuansu's eyes flashed, "What if it's not based on the book?"
Zhou Yonghe said, "I can only tell Qi Cixi that there is a company where many shares are recorded in the names of some unrelated people. Even if all these people are caught in hell, they will not dare to put themselves in trouble."
The person behind it will be revealed."
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought, "So judging from the accounts alone, there is no such thing. But if you sort through all these accounts, you can still sort out the whereabouts of the money, right?"
Zhou Yonghe hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
He then added, "But it would be very troublesome for just one person to sort out the accounts completely. There are as many accounts as two rooms, and it involves all aspects. It is a big project."
Qi Xuansu said, "The burning of Zhenwu Temple is a lesson learned from the past. Therefore, it is safest to keep the accounts in the treasury. Zhou Xiangli, I would like to trouble you to clean up the accounts so that we can have an explanation when the great master asks about it."
