Lin Qingcheng was notified that he would be questioned by Feng Xiantang on a routine basis. Lin Qingcheng did not raise any suspicion at first because there were many people being questioned by Feng Xiantang. Except for a few deputy palace masters, most people in the Taoist palace were involved.
It is said that it is because of the Nanyang United Trading Company.
Nanyang United Trading Company claims to be the money bag of the Borneo Province. It is not groundless. Many people are indeed unclean. However, Qi Zhenren has personally been in the Lion City to investigate for so long. If only such a small problem is found, then many people can accept it.
It's nothing more than a demerit.
If it ends here, it means that Zhenren Qi and Zhenren Wang have reached a compromise. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. Although this matter seems to be very loud, it did not cause shock in the Taoist government. Basically everyone who was questioned chose
cooperation.
It is worth mentioning that, except for Wang Jiaohe, Qi Xuansu, Xu Jiaorong, and Xie Jiaofeng, all the remaining secretaries of the deputy palace master have been censored. As one of them, Lin Qingcheng will naturally not feel inappropriate - unless Qi Xuansu
He must be crazy, otherwise he would not think of changing all the deputy masters of the entire Taoist mansion.
Needless to say, the first three were Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong who were just asking others to be the masterminds behind the scenes. How could they be found? After all, Wang Zhangfu knew the real person. Without concrete evidence, they should not be touched lightly. As for Xie Jiaofeng
, this old boy took advantage of the situation and took refuge in Qi Xuansu. In addition, he was originally on the line of Donghua Zhenren, so it was reasonable to escape the disaster this time.
Zheng Jiaohe's secretary was the first to be examined. As soon as he walked into the place where they were talking, he felt that something was not right. He even arranged for a spiritual officer, but he didn't think much about it. But when he saw Yao Pei,
Then I finally knew something was wrong. How could such a trivial matter be worth Yao Pei's personal intervention?
Soon, Zheng Jiaohe's secretary was captured.
At this time, no one thought about the great riot in Lion City. Instead, they thought that Qi Xuansu wanted to attack Zheng Jiaohe, which made sense. Everyone knew that Zheng Jiaohe had offended Qi Zhenren, and the offense was not light.
Master Qi and Master Wang reached a compromise, but also wanted to find a scapegoat to take the blame and give an explanation to the world. It seems that Zheng Jiaohe is the scapegoat.
Zheng Jiaohe was naturally frightened to death. He went to Wang Jiaohe several times to "report", fearing that Wang Jiaohe would regard him as an abandoned son.
Lin Qingcheng was placed last. He thought he could pass easily, but as soon as he came in, he saw Yao Pei with an expressionless face.
He has asked other colleagues, and usually a few principals from Feng Xiantang come forward to ask questions, and the atmosphere is not very tense.
Yao Pei's appearance is like a signal.
Generally, people who are sure to be in trouble will be questioned by Yao Pei personally.
Yao Pei announced the arrest of Lin Qingcheng. Lin Qingcheng wanted to resist, but was easily captured by a second-grade spiritual officer.
Immediately afterwards, Yao Pei and his people left Thang Long Mansion by flying boat overnight and headed for the Lion City.
As luck would have it, Master Jiang Dazhen held another temporary meeting that night. Everyone from the real person in charge of the palace to the deputy palace masters were required to participate in the meeting. As for the content of the meeting, they discussed in detail the pursuit of Chen Shuhua.
detail.
By the time the meeting was over, Yao Pei had arrived safely in the Lion City.
Qi Xuansu asked Li Zhuyu to interrogate Lin Qingcheng, while Yao Pei continued to target the Sun family. The hidden clues she had laid earlier were almost finished.
Under Ruan Fengjue's manipulation, Zhao Changmin has fallen deeper and deeper into trouble and is unable to extricate himself.
The next step is to target Sun Yaozhen through Zhao Changmin.
Qi Xuansu did not interfere with these matters. He wanted to focus on the "Heavenly Court" and the Holy Court.
It was not that Qi Xuansu wanted to fight on multiple fronts, but that these internal and external enemies had united to strangle him, so he had to accept the challenge. Fortunately, the arrival of Jiang Dazhen took great pressure off him and brought the king to the throne.
Jiaohe was firmly restrained in Shenglong Mansion. In many cases, Wang Jiaohe could only command remotely, but the effect was still much worse.
Among the two "courts", the Holy Court was beyond reach after all, and its power was quite limited. After being hit once by Li Zhuyu and Qin Hengjun, it could not be said that the vitality was severely damaged, but also the muscles and bones were damaged, and it was unable to cause any more troubles in a short period of time.
Then the next thing to solve is the problem of "Heavenly Court". In fact, Qi Xuansu doesn't want to break his face. Firstly, the pressure is too high, and secondly, the influence of Patriarch Jin Gong cannot be underestimated.
It's just that "Heavenly Court" is a bit too deceptive. Not to mention the conflict in the Dragon Palace on the sea, the first is the assassination incident. Although there is no clear result yet, according to the investigation of the Nanting Protectorate, various clues point to "
"Tianting", it can also be said that Qi Xuansu's guess is correct, this matter is related to Li Tianzhen. After all, the facts are here, there are only a handful of people with such power, and among these people with such power, there are
There are even fewer people with such motivations. After counting, there is only one Li Tianzhen.
Secondly, "Heavenly Court" brought huge resistance to Qi Xuansu. In the recent riot in Lion City, "Heavenly Court" also played a considerable role. Of course, the Wang family is powerful, but Wang Jiaohe and Wang Jiaoying
Both brothers are not here. Look at the whole world
, the Holy Court is also quite powerful, but in the Nanyang region, it is somewhat out of reach, and these forces are still shady and restrained. However, the "Heavenly Court" has been rooted in the Lion City for many years. It is not only a local snake, but also powerful and indispensable.
One ring.
These factors forced Qi Xuansu to target the "Tianting".
Am I, Qi Xuansu, a clay figurine without anger?
In fact, Qi Xuansu had a grudge with the "Tianting" a long time ago, whether it was about Feng Bo or the Jinling Mansion. It's just that Qi Xuansu went from Wanxiang Taoist Palace to the Imperial Capital and then to Fenglinzhou, and didn't have much free time to care about it.
These old accounts are now regarded as new accounts and old accounts are settled together.
However, at this stage, Qi Xuansu cannot completely break up with the "Heavenly Court". First of all, it is the face of Patriarch Jin Gong. In any case, this is an immortal, and he has just helped the Borneo Taoist House.
Immortal, this is what Qi Xuansu has to consider. Secondly, "Tianting" is the dominant power in Nanyang. Now Qi Xuansu is not strong enough to challenge the entire "Tianting", so he has to divide and rule.
This matter was undoubtedly a top priority, so Qi Xuansu entrusted it to Zhang Yuelu, whom he trusted the most.
Zhang Yuelu asked Yuheng Star Master to contact Liu Gui and reached some preliminary cooperation.
The Dao Sect is such a formal organization, but it has many factions. It is divided into three Dao and the Grand Master lineage, and there are constant internal fights. Not to mention the "Tian Ting", a ragtag group of people, how can it be monolithic? Although Wu Guangbi is the leader of the Dao,
But Liu Gui's strength is equally strong.
The three great merchants at that time were the Wang family, the Zheng family, and the Liu family. The Wang family surrendered to the Taoist sect and took root in Borneo, treating Borneo as their own backyard. The Zheng family defected to the Daxuan court, and most of their descendants lived in Lingnan and Nanhai.
Naval service.
The Liu family did not clean up and come ashore like the Wang family and the Zheng family, but became the team of the "Tian Ting". Just like the Zhang family and the Li family brought capital to the Taoist sect to invest in the "Tian Ting", the same is true for the Liu family in the "Tian Ting", so the Liu family is in the "Tian Ting"
"Ting" has strong internal strength.
Compared to the Liu family, which has been rooted in the "Tian Ting" for generations, Wu Guangbi is like an outsider to the "Tian Ting". Without strong strength and the support of Patriarch Jin Gong, he would never be able to sit at the head of the avenue.
This is also the reason why Wu Guangbi is close to the Li family, because he lacks a foundation within the "Tianting", or the foundation is unstable, and he has to seek help from outside forces.
However, one good thing about "Tianting" is that the internal fighting situation is not as complicated as that of Taoism. It is mainly composed of two distinct factions, one headed by Wu Guangbi and the other headed by Liu Gui.
In order to compete for the power of the "Heavenly Court", the two have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, almost to the point of incompatibility.
If Wu Guangbi could be defeated, Liu Gui would naturally be happy to see the result and would not even mind adding fuel to the fire.
This is the purpose of Qi Xuansu's contact with Liu Gui, and it is also the basis of divide and rule.
Some people within the Taoist sect can betray the interests of the Taoist sect and join forces with outsiders for their own benefit. Do the people in the "Heavenly Court" have a higher consciousness than the people in the Taoist sect? It doesn't exist.
The key lies in how to win Liu Gui's trust. This was originally a difficult problem, but Ziguang Society's advantages solved this problem very well.
This is what Zhang Yuelu has been busy with recently.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are not absolutely innocent. They don't mind using some means to achieve their goals. This is one of the reasons why they can be like-minded.
Due to the existence of Patriarch Jin Gong, Liu Gui could not take action openly, just like Wang Jiaohe could not personally go into battle to intercept Qi Xuansu, unless Wang Jiaohe wanted to betray the Taoism like Chen Shuhua did.
However, Liu Gui can help indirectly, such as secretly knowing the specific location of Wu Guangbi.
Qi Xuansu just received the news that Wu Guangbi is now on a small island outside the Lion City.
There is an archipelago between Lion City and Old Port Xuanweisi. This island is located in this archipelago. The "Tianting" built a villa here, which is considered a good place to escape from the world.
For outsiders, this place is of course very secretive, but for Liu Gui, the third person in the "Tianting", it is not a secret. He can easily know Wu Guangbi's whereabouts, just like Wu Guangbi can also easily know Liu Gui's whereabouts.
whereabouts.
But Liu Gui has nothing to be afraid of. He knows that his cultivation level is not as good as Wu Guangbi's, so he always shouts from the front and back whenever he travels. There are many followers and guards, and it is not easy to cover his whereabouts. On the contrary, Wu Guangbi, because of his extremely high cultivation level,
They are pseudo-immortals second only to immortals. It is inevitable that those who are skilled in art are bold and like white dragon fish costumes.
This became Wu Guangbi's weakness.
As the saying goes, don't reciprocate. Qi Xuansu is a person who holds grudges. Wu Guangbi clashed with him several times, but he still remembered that since you have attacked me several times and even assassinated me, I will also make a surprise attack.
It would be best for Li Tianzhen to be with Wu Guangbi and kill him together. The Li family's children are hanging out with the evil cult monsters to "catch the traitors and seize the couple". Let's see what the Li family has to say. Maybe Master Qingwei will thank him.
