Although Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu's positions and grades are not very high, they have high backgrounds. One is from the Yao family and the other is from the Li family. They do not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. In addition, they are half imperial envoys.
Therefore, the standard of the reception banquet is quite high, and people from all walks of life are present to celebrate the reception.
After the banquet, it was time to talk about business. Qi Xuansu first asked Xie Jiaofeng to arrange for others to rest, and then invited Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu to his signature room.
Chen Jianchou also came over and bowed to the two noble ladies first. He did not expect that in just one month, he would meet several legendary figures in succession, first Zhang Yuelu and then Yao Pei. Although he did not
Li Changge, but Li Zhuyu can also take his place. Although Chen Jianchou is far away in Borneo, he is a motivated young man who is determined to enter the Taoist sect. He must have a full understanding of the inside of the Taoist sect. If he does not even have the three talents of the Taoist sect,
If you know, then what does it mean to understand Taoism? By the way, now you should be the fourth show of Taoism.
Compared with the strong Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei has a different style. If Zhang Yuelu is yang, then Yao Pei is yin. If he accidentally offends two women, Zhang Yuelu will probably fight back openly, while Yao Pei will probably keep silent.
Revenge loudly.
Yao Pei said, "I've heard of you."
Chen Jianchou was even more shocked.
How could he be so virtuous and capable...??.??
Li Zhuyu continued, "You are the hero of this change in Shenglong Mansion. Chief Qi and Second Chief Xu recommended you. The key is that you are not a formal Taoist priest, but a failed Taoist boy. It is so strange. Many people are talking about you. We
It’s useless even if you don’t know. Otherwise, why do you think you can be Chief Qi’s secretary if you are not an official Taoist priest? This is special treatment for meritorious officials.”
Yao Pei asked, "Are you planning to take the exam in August?"
Chen Jianchou nodded and said, "Yes."
Yao Pei said, "Take the exam well. Based on your merit this time, after passing the exam, Ziweitang will directly solve your grade problem."
Chen Jianqiu suppressed his excitement and began to introduce the current specific situation of Lion City to the two, including the investigation of Nanyang United Trading Company and the recent riots in Lion City.
After listening, Yao Pei said, "It's just an external force. It doesn't have such great ability. It must be an internal force that cooperates with the outside."
Qi Xuansu said, "This is exactly why I invited you two over."
Yao Pei asked, "What did fellow Taoist Qingxiao say?"
Qi Xuansu glanced at Li Zhuyu, "Qingxiao thinks that 'Tianting' is also involved."
Li Zhuyu's expression was not strange.
There are also differences within the Li family. According to seniority, "Be true to the Tao and follow the Dharma.
"Have destiny", Qingwei Zhenren Li Wujia is a generation with the character "you", one generation older than Li Tianzhen. He only has one adopted daughter, Li Zhuyu, and Li Tianzhen is not his son. From this, it can be clearly seen that Li Tianzhen is not Qingwei Zhenren.
Li Tianzhen, Li Tianlan and others are of the same faction. This can be seen from Zhang Guquan's case. Li Tianlan's inaction finally forced Qingwei Zhenren to compromise with the Zhang family.
It’s not surprising that Master Qingwei was extremely talented when he was young. He despised his family elders, refused to obey discipline, and often acted unexpectedly. Li Tianyue, Li Tianlan, Li Minghuang’s adoptive father Li Tianqing and others often had conflicts with Master Qingwei. Master Qingwei often had conflicts with Master Qingwei.
The biggest rebellious move was to change his name from "you" to "wu" and call himself Li Wugou, which was taken from "Zhimingdongyou, Zhiqingwugou" to express his ambition. At that time
This caused many members of the Li family to talk privately, and some even made sarcastic comments. They even changed their surname to Zhang Wugou. Wouldn't it be better to be the brother of the Celestial Master?
The seeds of the conflict were planted at this time, and have not eased over the years. It is just that the national masters are suppressing them, so they can only do something secretly.
However, Li Changge was an anomaly. He seemed to be on the side of Master Qingwei and helped Master Qingwei deal with Zhang Kuquan's problem. Li Tianlan did not dare to embarrass the little national master. Both sides agreed with him. This
The title of "Little Imperial Master" speaks volumes. Master Qingwei has never been called "Little Imperial Master". It means a "good saintly grandson" no matter how you look at it, even though Li Changge is not Li Changgeng's grandson.
In the second major Jinling Mansion case, "Tian Ting" came forward to help Li Tianlan clean up the mess. Li Tianzhen had a close relationship with "Tian Ting". In other words, "Tian Ting" may not be Qingwei's real person.
.
As for Li Tianzhen, he is young after all. By the time he reaches adulthood, Master Qingwei will no longer be rebellious. There will be no chance of conflict between the two. Moreover, Master Qingwei is in a high position at this time, and Li Tianzhen is not qualified to conflict with Master Qingwei.
.
But things are not that simple. Li Tianzhen has a potential competitor, which is of course not Li Changge, but Li Zhuyu. Nowadays, it is said that Li Tianzhen is the son of the Li family, and there seems to be no problem. But if the imperial master is no longer there, then the Li family will
Qingwei Zhenren is the most respected person. Li Zhuyu can’t replace Li Changge, and can’t he replace Li Tianzhen? If Qingwei Zhenren becomes the Grand Master, then the Grand Master’s only righteous daughter will probably be the third person in the Li family, second only to
Qingwei Zhenren, Li Changge, wants to overpower Li Tianzhen.
The Li family is monolithic compared to the Zhang family and the whole family.
From a true perspective, it does not mean that the Li family has no internal conflicts at all, that is unrealistic.
Qi Xuansu saw this exactly, so he mentioned "Tianting" in front of Li Zhuyu.
As expected by Qi Xuansu, Li Zhuyu's reaction was very calm, at least not the least bit nervous.
Qi Xuansu continued, "Now there is probably a collusion between three parties, including certain people within our Taoist government, the 'Tianting', and the Holy Court. So I invited two people to come over. Fengxiantang will investigate the interior, and Beichentang will focus on attacking the Holy Court."
Power. As for the 'Heavenly Court', we can let it go for the time being."
Yao Pei said, "I represent Fengxian Hall this time. Leave it to me to investigate the internal affairs. As for combating the infiltration forces of the Holy Court, I'll leave it to Deputy Hall Master Li."
Li Zhuyu nodded and said, "No problem."
Qi Xuansu added, "I am not very familiar with how to combat external forces such as the Holy Court, apart from using violent means such as spiritual officers, so I will not give random instructions. However, I still have some knowledge about internal investigations."
Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu with eyes that seemed not to be awake.
Qi Xuansu said, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it bluntly. I suspect that this matter is related to the real person in charge, Wang Jiaohe. This real person Wang is very scheming. It will be difficult to open a breakthrough from him. But Zhenren Wang also has weaknesses, so
It’s the Wang family behind him, and the key figures among them are Wang Jiaoying, Wang Jiaoyan, and Wang Danqing. I think it’s best for Suyi to start with Wang Danqing.”
Yao Pei lowered his eyes and said, "I have heard of this man who shot you in Ziweitang."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, "I have no intention of avenging any private revenge."
This is true. Now, Qi Xuansu no longer cares about the little Wang Danqing. If Wang Jiaohe came over now and said that he could plead guilty and face the law, and the only condition was to let Wang Danqing go, then Qi Xuansu would probably
Qi Xuansu agreed. Qi Xuansu didn't even think that Wang Danqing had the ability to retaliate against him, and there was no danger of raising a tiger.
This is a kind of contempt and a kind of conceit.
Yao Pei thought for a while and said, "Many of the high-quality Taoist priests who have fallen in recent years were because of troubles with their Taoist companions or their children. This idea is not bad."
Qi Xuansu gave Chen Jianchou a look, and Chen Jianchou sent up the prepared files.
Yao Pei took it and flipped through it casually, taking a glance at it and never forgetting it.
"Sun family." Yao Pei said thoughtfully.
Qi Xuansu said, "The Sun family and the Wang family have not openly communicated.
It was a marriage, but Sun Heyu’s daughter-in-law and Wang Jiaohe’s sister Wang Jiaoyan were junior sisters from the same school. Sun Heyu’s son Sun Jiaofeng and Wang Jiaoyan entered into a business partnership, which is today’s Nanyang United Trading Company.”
Yao Pei listed several names: "Sun Heyu, Sun Jiaofeng, Sun Yaoping, Wang Jiaoyan, Lin Tianhe, Xu Youyi, Du Yuhua."
Du Yuhua is the secretary of the great master in charge. This great master is the predecessor of the great master of Lan Da. Unlike the loose and lazy master of Lan Da, this great master is very arbitrary and takes power. Du Yuhua is the great master of this great master.
She gave birth to a grandson, and then she was promoted much faster than Xu Jiaorong. It was not until Da Zhenren ascended that she lost her backing and had to retire to the mountains and forests. Her son still stayed in Borneo Taoist House and married Sun Heyu
His granddaughter is Sun Yaoping’s brother-in-law.
Although Du Yuhua is no longer the chief deputy palace master, her influence cannot be underestimated. The old relationship for many years is still there, and she is also a big shot who can change clouds and rain with her hands.
Qi Xuansu said, "Both Sun Yaoping and Xu Youyi are in our hands. Xu Youyi is temporarily detained in Dongdu Mansion in Lingnan Province, and Sun Yaoping is detained in Sheji Palace in Shenglong Mansion. You can interrogate them at any time."
Yao Pei asked, "What are the names of Sun Yaoping's sister and brother-in-law? There is only one mention here, so why is there no file on them?"
Chen Jianchou hurriedly said, "Sun Yaoping's brother-in-law is the son of Du Yuhua, Du Zhenren, named Du Fuzhou. Because some things are difficult to say openly, Du Yuhua has always claimed to be his adopted son."
Yao Pei asked again, "Where is Du Fuzhou's father?"
Chen Jianchou hesitated for a moment and looked at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said, "The son of Pingzhang Daren was very incompetent. After Pingzhang Daren ascended, Du Yuhua fell out with him and refused to let his son recognize him. He has been living in Yujing for decades.
Since I have never returned to Borneo, it should have nothing to do with this matter."
Yao Pei nodded and asked, "How is Du Fuzhou?"
Chen Jianqiu said, "She is very low-key and reclusive. We don't know much about her. However, Sun Yaoping's sister, Sun Yaozhen, has a very good relationship with Wang Danqing. They are relatively young."
Yao Pei said, "The news that we have come to Borneo is not a secret. These people who are on the bright side will definitely be prepared. Even if they are careless, Wang Jiaohe will definitely remind them. Therefore, there may not be any chance of attacking these people head-on."
Very good effect. My opinion is that in addition to intensifying the interrogation of Sun Yaoping and Xu Youyi, we should also start with Du Fuzhou and Sun Yaozhen to catch them by surprise."
