Chapter 121 The Golden Mean

The word "sexuality" has a knife on it, and Zhao Changmin really felt it.

One thousand Taiping coins is really not a small amount. Back then, Qi Xuansu went to great lengths to get one thousand Taiping coins. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu really doesn’t take the mere Thousand Taiping coins seriously, but don’t forget what Qi Xuansu is now.

His status is not the same as it was in the past. Besides, if Qi Xuansu is asked to come up with a thousand Taiping coins in cash now, he can't come up with it. Who asked him to buy a house?

Because of this incident, Zhao Changmin wanted to steal a few things from his residence in exchange for money, but he was afraid that Sun Yaozhen would notice. You know, it is one thing for Sun Yaozhen to be rich, but it does not mean that Sun Yaozhen does not regard money as money.

It's easy to show off your flaws.

Because these items can only be taken through pawnshops, but most of the pawnshops in Lion City are properties of Nanyang United Trading Company, Sun Yaozhen found it easy to check.

He wanted to run away, but he couldn't bear to leave the colorful world of Lion City.

Of course there are places in the world that are better than the Lion City, and they are not too few, but there is no other place in the south of the Yangtze. He is not an immortal who travels to the North Sea in the evening, and he can't go too far. Moreover, he

If he dared to leave without saying goodbye, Sun Yaozhen would definitely not let him go and would definitely capture him. With the power of the Sun family, it would be easy to find out which boat he took, even if he hadn't arrived at the Xuanwei Department in Jiugang yet.

, and was taken back.

At this time, Zhao Changfu could not help but regret. Why didn't he make some useful friends through Sun Yaozhen's name? He spent all his time hooking up with women from good families, but at the critical moment, he didn't even have anyone to make suggestions.

For two consecutive nights, Zhao Changhou couldn't sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that Sun Yaozhen was furious with thunder and whipped him hard with a whip with thorns and spikes.

The IOU that stated the cause of the incident was a curse. As long as this IOU was delivered to Sun Yaozhen, half of his life would be lost.

After staying up like this for two days, Zhao Changhou's eye circles were already black and his eyes were red. He was extremely tired and staggered when he walked. Those who didn't know it thought he had been squeezed dry by a female ghost.

Fortunately, Sun Yaozhen has been obsessed with opera listening recently, and specially hired a famous actor to teach him how to sing, and did not come to see him, so no clues were discovered.

On the third day, debt collectors came to the door. Zhao Changhao had no choice but to kneel down and beg for a few more days of grace.

These people are said to be from the Yao family, but their surname is not Yao. They are not even a branch of the small sect. They should be said to be vassals. Their geographical location determines that they belong to the periphery of the Yao family's influence. They are not even members of the Taoist sect. The leader is named Ruan Feng.

Jue was originally from a local gang in Nanyang. Later, the gang offended the Sun family and was wiped out by the Taoist government with thunderous means. He only escaped with his own life and defected to a vassal of the Yao family to become a disciple. Only then did he save his life.

life.

I heard that Ruan Fengjue was the most active in dealing with the Sun family. It was really a deadly move. Not to mention, this time the eldest lady came forward in person. For these relatively peripheral forces, it was actually a good idea to do things for the eldest lady.

It's a kind of luck. If things are done beautifully and the eldest lady can make an impression, the future will be easy.

Without saying a word, Ruan Fenggue took out his knife and threatened Zhao Changhou to kill him.

Zhao Changfu was so frightened that he burst into tears and ranny nose, and couldn't help begging.

Seeing that Ruan Fenggue was almost frightened, Zhao Changmin was already in a state of despair, so he calmed down and said, "This matter is easy to handle. As long as Brother Zhao does a little favor for us, forget it, and we can use the thousand Taiping money."

No more."

Zhao Changfu was refreshed, stretched out his hand to touch the snot and tears on his face, and asked quickly, "What are you doing? I will do my best."

Ruan Fenggue smiled happily, "It's quite simple. Although Miss Sun has not been very involved in business matters in the past few years, she has been more or less involved. Now the eldest son of the Sun family is useless and has fallen into the hands of Qi Zhenren. For a while,

I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out, so the eldest lady will have to share the burden for Master Sun. To be honest, we are also businessmen in the business world. If we want to know some inside information, for Brother Zhao, the person next to him, it should be

It’s not that difficult, is it?”

Zhao Changhao hesitated for a moment and agreed.

It's just a little inside information, it's really not that difficult.

Ruan Fenggue then explained the specific information to Zhao Changhou.

This so-called inside information actually has nothing to do with the case itself. It is mainly a means to further control Zhao Changhao. If Zhao Changhao was asked to deal with Sun Yaozhen from the beginning, he would definitely not do it, and maybe he would be killed, but if he was dragged into the water step by step

, while threatening with a big stick, and at the same time giving some benefits appropriately, when he can't turn back, it will be a matter of course.

It's like fishing. The fish has been hooked. You can't rush to lift the rod. You have to slip the fish. It's not too late to lift the rod again after the fish is exhausted.

What is a Jianghu person? They are not dressed in white like snow and come and go like the wind. These unattractive methods are a profile of a Jianghu person.

Otherwise, the world is a quagmire.

Yao Pei naturally didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to know. She only looked at the results. From the moment she decided to use these peripheral forces, she knew that the means would not work.

Too glorious.

Because of the "Tai Shang Wang Qing Sutra", Yao Pei is actually a somewhat cold person, but this coldness is hidden under the dullness, and outsiders do not feel deeply. She will only look at things with absolute rationality, and

Not emotional.

In her opinion, in this case, who is right and who is wrong is secondary. This is a life-and-death struggle. To put it bluntly, it is not impossible to insist on saying that the Wang family is wrong and to criticize the Wang family from a moral high ground. In order to win,

You can indeed do this when you go to trial later.

But if you really want to regard yourself as a righteous man doing justice for heaven, then there is no need, because this will lead to a series of fatal questions. If the Wang family is at fault, then is the Li family at fault? Even the Yao family and the Zhang family are like this

Is it clean? After destroying the Wang family, why not destroy the Li family? Why not investigate the Zhang family and the Yao family?

This makes it impossible to play.

Playing with moral principles can easily get you burned.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that the Wang family has gone too far, or the food is too ugly. The fundamental reason is that the Wang family has not corrected its position.

In fact, Qi Xuansu also understands this very clearly. Many people say that his consciousness is not high, and the general environment is such that he really cannot rise up. Who does he rely on to get to the top? He cannot eat other people's food and destroy others.

It would make him a "lonely minister". Now the Taoist sect doesn't even have a big leader, and he doesn't know who the "lonely minister" will be for.

More importantly, if you criticize this or judge that all day long with moral principles, then others will demand you according to the standards of a saint. If you do something bad, you will be criticized immediately, and this is backlash.

On the contrary, if you are a bad person and occasionally do good things a few times, you will still receive sympathy and praise.

This is the difference in required standards.

In a word, if a prostitute turns good in her later years, the fireworks of her life will be fine; if a chaste woman loses her virginity, her life will be miserable.

Therefore, although you don’t want to be an old prostitute, you don’t want to be a chaste woman either. You should still be an ordinary person and stick to the principles of loyalty when you have a husband. If you don’t have a husband, remarry when you should.

You must not be a saint, it is safer to be a layman.

You can have a conscience and a bottom line, but you can never think that you are the embodiment of justice.

All in all, adhering to the Central Plains people's golden mean and not going to extremes is actually the first-class choice.

Because of this, after Qi Xuansu arrived in Borneo, he had nothing to gain and women had no luck. Most of the time, he tried to act within the rules, but if there was an emergency, he should

Use means or use means.

Soldiers are treacherous, and it would be inappropriate to talk about whether the procedures are legitimate or not at this time. If you insist on sticking to the rules and dogma, it confirms the saying that it will take three years for a scholar to rebel.

Of course, you cannot say this kind of thing on the table. Anyone who does say it on the table will probably be tortured by the "clean streamers" with morals, and their necks will be strangled with the iron rope of morality, with a ferocious look on their face, "Why don't you become a saint? Why?"

Unruly? You deserve to die!"

After Yao Pei ordered this matter, because it still needed some time, she couldn't be idle, so she went to Shenglong Mansion in person, not only to meet Wang Jiaohe, but also to interact with Xu Jiaorong.

Hearing the news that Yao Pei was coming to Shenglong Mansion, Wang Danqing was in a bad mood, even a little gloomy. Not long ago, he had boasted about Haikou in front of Sun Yaozhen, and it would be great for Yao Pei to come to Borneo.

It didn't mean anything, but I didn't expect Yao Pei to actually come.

Although the eldest lady of the Yao family is not from the authentic Fengxian Hall, nor is she as famous as Zhang Yuelu, her methods are quite good. The first case she took after taking office as the deputy head of Fengxian Hall was to examine the young master Li Changge. What should Li Changge do?

After wasting more than a month in Jiangnan, Qi Xuansu had the opportunity to show off his skills on the battlefield of Fenglinzhou. In the end, the latecomer came on top and overtook the Taoist Sanxiu in one fell swoop.

Wang Danqing also knew why the Wang family was in this situation. Of course, it was not because Qi Xuansu wanted to harm the Wang family. He did not have such great ability, but because the people behind Qi Xuansu wanted to harm the Wang family.

Who is the person behind Qi Xuansu? It is Donghua Zhenren. In the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the Yao family.

Yao Pei came here this time, in a sense, to contribute to his own affairs. How could he not do his best?

Wang Danqing is also somewhat self-aware that this deputy hall master Yao may want to attack him.

How could he not worry?

On the other side, Qi Xuansu arranged things one by one. Lu Yuting was responsible for investigating the Nanyang United Trading Company, Li Zhuyu screened the Holy Court forces in the city, and Yao Pei investigated the inside of the Taoist government. As for the "Heavenly Court", Zhang Yuelu was responsible for it, leaving Ziguang She

To deal with the "Tianting", although Ziguang Society has few people, Ziguang Society can draw on its strength, and there are people from Ziguang Society around Liu Gui.

Qi Xuansu finally got some free time, so he continued to nurse his injuries and strive to restore his realm as soon as possible. Qi Xuansu didn't want the Jiayin spiritual officer to follow him all day long. The dignified first-grade spiritual officer would inevitably feel uncomfortable, and Qi Xuansu himself was also uncomfortable.
