In fact, there should be a canonization ceremony, but that would have to wait until the angels from the Daxuan court arrived.
From the perspective of the Taoist government, this matter has come to an end for the time being.
Qi Xuansu can focus on the right path, which is the Nanyang United Trading Company.
Zhang Yuelu came to Borneo this time under the banner of investigating the case. She was not just talking about it. She really made some progress. The key is that "Xi Ye", whose real name is Xu Youyi, and whose official identity is Nanyang United Trading Company.
A senior steward, secretly the lover of Wang Jiaoyan.
Xu Youyi knew the seriousness. If Wang Jiaoyan confessed to him, no one could save him, so he kept holding on until he could do anything. However, Xu Kou's methods were really scary. It was true that the Taoism stipulated that torture was not allowed to extract confessions, but this man
If you don't care, you will be punished at worst. It is undeniable that the effect of this method is indeed immediate.
So Xu Youyi still told some other questions in an attempt to get away with it. According to Xu Youyi, the West Borneo Company had a secret warehouse in Lion City, where the slaves they planned to sell were kept.
Qi Xuansu was no stranger to the Lion City. He had just visited there, but had to return early because something happened to Master Landa. .??.
If Thang Long is the political center of Borneo, then Lion City is the economic center of Borneo.
Geographically speaking, Thang Long is too close to the inland and a bit too remote. Lion City is the center of the entire Nanyang.
The last time Qi Xuansu went to the Lion City, it was only superficial and did not get in-depth contact with the inner parts of the Lion City. Just like when Qi Xuansu first arrived at Shenglong Mansion, it seemed harmonious on the surface, and no one would have thought of taking the initiative to welcome Qi Xuansu and Yao Shu.
Chen Shuhua was only one step away from immortality, and he would not have thought that there were two immortal-level divine descending vessels hidden under Shenglong Mansion, which would make Master Landa withdraw from the stage of Borneo for a long time.
This is not to mention Wang Jiaohe, Wang Jiaoying, Sun Heyu and other local powerful forces.
So what did Qi Xuansu see in the Lion City? In addition to the Taiping Bank's treasury, which was a little bit of the real situation, what else did he see? The special Xuansheng card that the wealthy businessmen united to prepare for him? Or the customized brand from the only one in Nanyang?
shop?
In fact, the water in Lion City is very deep.
In fact, it is a very simple truth. The more powerful or wealthy a place is, the more beauties there are. When Qi Xuansu was working at the bottom, he could not see many beautiful girls all year round. But after he arrived in Yujing, especially after entering
After Ziweitang, the beautiful Taoist priests seemed to want no money. From him
If you go to the signing room of Donghua Zhenren, you can see several of them.
Of course, this is just an appearance.
In essence, it is not just the so-called beauties, but everyone will gather in these places. Adventurers and careerists abound. But these people cannot be seen from the surface. After all, no one will be in the heart of the heart.
Put a note on your forehead to explain who you are, and good-looking people can't hide it and can see it at a glance, so it gives people a stereotype that the more powerful and rich the place, the more beauties.
impression.
To put it bluntly, the more powerful and wealthy a place is, the more disputes and conflicts there are.
Thang Long Palace has power and Lion City has money.
Thang Long Mansion was so troubled that it was split in half by Chen Shuhua's sword. How could the Lion City be a place of still water? It's just that the undercurrents are hidden under the water.
Otherwise, why would the Daxuan court set up the Nanting Protectorate in Lion City? There are also reasons why the Borneo Taoist Office stationed its spiritual officers in Xuanwei Division, Jiugang, not far from Lion City.
On the surface, the Nanting Protectorate is the manager of the Lion City and the most powerful party. However, in fact, the Nanting Protectorate is far from being a dominant force. Although the Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult have strong influence here,
has been weakened, but the power of "Tian Ting" has greatly increased. Many wealthy businessmen have a background in "Tian Ting" and they are part of "Tian Ting". "Tian Ting" is half businessman and half thief, no matter the goods they transport
, or the proceeds from plundering are sold or transferred through these merchants. The "Heavenly Court" is almost semi-public in Lion City. The officers and soldiers and pirates are in the same room, which is also a unique scenery of Lion City.
Secondly, there are secondary secret societies such as Qibaofang and Babuzhong. The former is a leading businessman and the latter is a lunatic who focuses on creation. The two have one thing in common, they both need a lot of peace money. The Lion City is the most wealthy in the entire Southeast Asia.
The place for money, to put it harshly, these two families came right after smelling it.
Many businessmen also have backgrounds from these two families. It can be said that the backgrounds of the businessmen in Lion City are very complicated. They take both black and white. They do business with secret societies on one hand and deal with the Taoist government on the other. In the words of the businessmen, two gold bars are
Put it here, which one is righteous? Which one is evil? Money is money, don’t get along with it.
On the contrary, Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Cult do not attach much importance to Lion City, and businessmen attach great importance to profits. In Western terms, businessmen
People can sell the rope used to hang themselves for profit. Such people will most likely not believe in the ancient immortal cult. They believe that money can connect the gods. Spreading the ancient immortal belief here is thankless.
In addition, the Xibasazhou Company is also a frequent visitor to the Lion City, which is reasonable. Business is about coming and going. There is no reason not to let the Xibasazhou Company come over, so you can often see Western faces in the Lion City. If
When it comes to which place in Southeast Asia has been most heavily infiltrated by Westerners, it has to be the Lion City.
If Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu want to jointly attack the Holy Court forces, they must start from the Lion City.
In addition, fleets from Lingnan, Jiangnan, Qizhou and other places will also travel to Lion City, docking or trading here. Most of these caravans have extraordinary backgrounds, with Daoist background behind them, or the background of the Daxuan court, which should not be underestimated.
watch for.
For example, Qi Muyu is one of them.
Under such circumstances, the Nanyang United Trading Company, as a local leader, naturally has to have a foot in the Lion City. It can even be said that the main focus of the Nanyang United Trading Company is here, and its headquarters is established in the Lion City. .?
?.
Before Qi Xuansu took office in Borneo, he naturally had to know something about Borneo. Thang Long Palace and Lion City were his top priorities. This dragon and one lion determined the lifeline of the entire Southeast Asia.
It's a pity that Qi Xuansu's trip to the Lion City was interrupted midway, and he could only return to Shenglong Mansion in a hurry.
In fact, when Qi Xuansu was the second deputy palace master, he did not need to deal with the Lion City too much because he was in charge of the law. Now that he has been promoted to the chief deputy palace master and is in charge of financial rights, he has to deal with the Lion City.
Got in touch.
Qi Xuansu understood one thing very well. His next focus would inevitably shift from Shenglong Mansion to Lion City.
His fight with Wang Jiaohe, or in other words, his fight with the Wang family forces headed by Wang Jiaohe, was no longer a head-on fight, but a fight against the invisible lights and shadows of swords. The battlefield was in the Lion City.
As long as Qi Xuansu can obtain evidence of Nanyang United Trading Company's crimes and prove that the Wang family is the boss behind Nanyang United Trading Company, then Jinque can justifiably take down Wang Jiaohe. Even an immortal is no match for Jinque.
But then again, the absence of head-on conflict does not mean that there will be no fighting and killing. Killing and silencing is an old tradition of the Taoist sect. Even if the Jiangnan case is not mentioned, the Wang family will not sit still and wait for death. Fighting and killing in secret is still not allowed.
Avoid, finally "Qi Qingtian"
Whether the Wang family will be famous in Borneo or the Wang family will survive the danger depends on the skill of both parties.
Zhang Yuelu's main target in this investigation is the Lion City, and she has already set off for the Lion City first.
Qi Xuansu did not go with Zhang Yuelu because he had to deal with the affairs of the Yu King's royal family.
Zhang Yuelu was lightly dressed this time. Although he still took a flying boat, it was not a special flying boat that specifically served the second-in-command, chief, or master of the palace. It was just an ordinary public flying boat.
As for the accompanying person, there was only one person, Ke Qingqing.
In any case, Zhang Yuelu is a heavenly being in the infinite stage, and he is on the territory of the Taoist sect, so there is no need to be overly cautious. Ordinary people are not Zhang Yuelu's opponent at all. As for those who can threaten Zhang Yuelu, such as Chen Shuhua, they will not rashly
Take action against Zhang Yuelu, unless she wants to face Tianshi He Zhengyi directly.
If Qi Xuansu is killed, the Earth Master may not take action personally. But if Zhang Yuelu is touched, the Heavenly Master will definitely take action personally. Zhang Yuelu is a crucial part of the Heavenly Master's future plan for the Zhang family. After Qi Xuansu is dead, there are still Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu.
If you die, there will be no other candidates.
Zhang Yuelu has also been to many big cities, such as Imperial Capital and Jinling Mansion, which are huge cities with a population of more than millions. Lion City is slightly inferior, but it also has a population of more than one million, including more than 500,000 permanent residents.
The rest are all immigrants.
After entering the Lion City, Zhang Yuelu's first impression was that it was prosperous, lively but orderly. It did not have the chaotic feeling that ordinary seaports give people. The people in black maintained the superficial order quite well. Anyone who fights and causes trouble will be blackmailed.
The person is arrested and caned in varying amounts according to the seriousness of the case.
However, no matter how orderly it is, compared with other cities, it cannot be compared with Yujing. The two women Zhang Yuelu and Ke Qingqing are still relatively conspicuous, but when passers-by saw the Taoist attire of the two, they became confused.
They all stayed at a respectful distance.
Although Zhang Yuelu did not wear a real crane cloak and was only dressed like a seventh-grade Taoist priest, for ordinary people, Taoist priests themselves are untouchable beings. If they collided with a Taoist master, the consequences would be serious. And as we all know, female Taoist priests of Taoist sects are more
He is so tough that even male Taoist priests would not dare to provoke him rashly.
When the people in black in the city see Taoist priests, they will show kindness and lose their usual coldness and seriousness.
Ke Qingqing asked softly, "Second seat, where are we going?"
Zhang Yuelu said astonishingly, "Purple Light Society."
