Chapter 67 Aftermath

This time, the Queen Mother case involved the Qingluan Guard, so Qi Xuansu immediately asked the spiritual officials to enter the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion and control the senior officials of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion.

It has always been the Qingluan Guard who arrested others. When has this happened? However, facing the fierce Taoist spiritual officials, the Qingluan Guards could not show off their power, let alone resist, after all, "Yinglong" was still hanging high above the Shenglong Mansion. The entire Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion was quickly taken down by the spiritual officials. One by one, the Qingluan Guards squatted down in the courtyard of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion and held their heads. The spiritual officials stood beside them, pointing at them with the black muzzles of their guns. If they moved a little, they would be killed without mercy.

This shows a fact that the so-called "Emperor" is really not a joke. It's not about whether the Taoist sect can do it, but whether the Taoist sect wants to.

Generally speaking, the Taoist sect has to consider the impact and will not make a big move at will. It's just that this time there is a pretext. Qi Xuansu was assassinated by a trap, and the Qingluan Guard participated, so the Taoist sect is right. Even Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua could not stand up and say that Qi Xuansu's behavior would have a bad impact at this time. Instead, they had to support Qi Xuansu verbally and nominally. The fundamental reason is to distinguish between the inside and the outside. In private, the two sides are like water and fire, almost tearing each other apart, but in public, Qi Xuansu is still one of them.

Under the personal protection of Jiayin Lingguan, Qi Xuansu, who had changed into a brand new crane cloak, strode into the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion. The Qingluan Guards who were holding their heads in the yard could only see the hem and cloud shoes, and dared not look up.

Qi Xuansu walked straight into the lobby and asked, "Where is the Qingluan Guard Governor?"

A middle-aged man guarded by two third-grade Lingguans responded, "My subordinates are here."

After all, as a senior member of the Qingluan Guard, he still has some special treatment and can stand in the lobby instead of squatting in the yard with his head in his hands.

Qi Xuansu turned and looked at the man: "You are not my subordinate, what is your name?"

Although he was the governor of Qingluan Guard and a real celestial being, he could only answer respectfully at this time: "Chen Shuhong."

"Do you know what happened?" Qi Xuansu asked again.

"I know a little bit." Chen Shuhong answered with a stiff face.

It was because he knew what happened that he was so humble. If Qi Xuansu took over the governor's office of Qingluan Guard for no reason, he would have jumped up to protest. At the least, he would have moved out Chen Shuhua, his family, and at the worst, he would have threatened to go to Yujing to complain. Considering the impact, Yujing would most likely reprimand Qi Xuansu, which is the two words that many bigwigs like to use - nonsense.

But this time Qi Xuansu was right, how could he still be so confident? He just asked not to implicate himself. He didn't dare to contradict or threaten Qi Xuansu at all, so he could only be humble.

Qi Xuansu said: "Since you know, I won't repeat it. I want you to help the Daofu solve this case and make up for your crime. Do you have any objection?"

"No, no." Chen Shuhong said repeatedly.

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and raised his voice slightly: "Xie Zheng."

"Yes." Chen Jianchou answered loudly.

Qi Xuansu ordered: "You have served in Qingluan Guard before, and you are familiar with the situation here. You will be responsible for this part."

Chen Jianchou replied: "Yes."

Chen Shuhong's smile was a little stiff.

Of course he knew Chen Jianchou. Although both of them had the surname Chen and were from the royal family, their actual status was very different. After all, there were many people with the surname Chen, and they had to distinguish the close and distant relatives. He never expected that Chen Jianchou would quietly hold Qi Xuansu's thigh and become Qi Xuansu's follower. The key is that this kid knows a lot of inside stories of Qingluan Guard, and it is difficult to fool him. This is trouble.

Qi Xuansu took over the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office at the first time, of course, not to show off his power, nor to implicate others, but because he was attracted by the large amount of information held by Qingluan Guard.

At the beginning, Chen Jianchou secretly investigated the case and wanted to check many files, but he had to do it secretly, even under false pretenses. Now Qi Xuansu has taken over the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office openly, and all kinds of files can be checked at will. Many things that could not be investigated at the beginning can now be investigated again.

Chen Jianchou walked in front of Chen Shuhong and bowed.

Chen Shuhong smiled reluctantly: "Xu Zheng, speaking of it, your father and I are not brothers, but we are brothers. Back then, we..."

Chen Jianchou interrupted softly: "Governor, please hand over the key to the warehouse."

The Qingluan Guard Governor's Office is not a silver warehouse or a weapons warehouse. The warehouse here naturally stores files from previous years.

Qi Xuansu was by his side, and Chen Shuhong could not refuse, so he had to hand the key to Chen Jianchou. At the same time, he cursed in his heart that the villain would be rampant when he succeeded, and now that he was with Qi Xuansu, he didn't take him seriously.

Qi Xuansu didn't plan to stay in the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion for too long. After leaving enough spiritual officials, he left. Most of these spiritual officials were trusted subordinates of Jiayin Lingguan and could be trusted.

Now the palace and the Qingluan Guard Governor's Mansion are under the control of Qi Xuansu, and there is a lot to do. But it's not good to rush for success, and we still have to follow the steps.

Qi Xuansu didn't return to the Water Palace until he had arranged all this.

From the surface alone, Qi Xuansu didn't seem to have any major problems, everything was in order, but Qi Xuansu knew the pain himself. After all this tossing, it can only be described as "torture". Now he just wants to sleep and recover.

In a sense, the inheritance of human immortals has many similarities with dragons and wild beasts. They have strong bodies and strong blood. The best way to recover is to sleep. For example, dragons and the like will often fall into a long sleep after suffering heavy injuries. During the period, when he woke up, his injuries were almost recovered, just like humans and immortals.

It's just that Qi Xuansu can't sleep yet, there are still many things for him to deal with.

Chen Jianqiu also followed Qi Xuansu back to the Water Palace, because she was the one who led Qi Xuansu to see the Queen Mother Yang E. Now that something like this happened, she was naturally to blame, and she was even somewhat suspicious. She not only wants to clear herself of the suspicion, but also needs to get rid of the crime.

Qi Xuansu did not suspect that Chen Jianqiu was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he also wanted to see how Chen Jianqiu was going to get away with it.

In fact, Chen Jianqiu's way of atonement is very simple, which is to contribute more intelligence to Qi Xuansu. She didn't have direct information, the final word. If she had such information, she would probably have been silenced long before Qi Xuan came to Borneo. However, she can provide some indirect information, or clues.

Qi Xuansu had a feeling for a long time that Chen Jianqiu knew a lot, but because of her position, she would not say it easily. When Qi Xuansu pressed her, she would spit out a little bit; if Qi Xuansu didn't press her, she would remain silent. After Master Landa's accident, Qi Xuansu was busy with various things and had no time to take care of her. He just took this opportunity to force her.

Arriving at Qi Xuansu's signing room, Qi Xuansu sat behind the desk, while Chen Jianqiu stood beside him, like a student preparing to seek endorsement from his husband.

Chen Jianqiu carefully considered his words and said, "Second seat, do you know Wang Jiaoyan?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I know. This person is the sister of the king's master, and she is a junior sister from the same school as Sun Heyu's daughter-in-law."

Chen Jianqiu said: "At that time, Xi must also know that Wang Jiaoyan and Sun Jiaofeng were in partnership to run a business and followed the example of Westerners to open a company called Nanyang United Trading Company."

Qi Xuansu narrowed his eyes: "I heard that this Nanyang United Trading Company has done many illegal things. Do you know the inside story?"

Chen Jianqiu shook his head and said: "What I want to say is not the Nanyang United Trading Company, but Wang Jiaoyan himself."

Qi Xuansu said: "Tell me and listen."...

Chen Jianqiu said: "Second Chairman, you should know that most big Taoist families follow a pattern, that is, the pillars hold high positions in the Taoist sect for the sake of face and the backing of the entire family. And other members of the family operate under the shadow of face. Various industries serve as linings to provide financial support to the family. The headmaster Wang and deputy lord Wang develop within the Taoist government and hold great power for their sake. Wang Jiaoyan is actually the lining son of the Wang family. "

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Go on."

Chen Jianqiu said: "Wang Jiaoyan's husband is Lin Tianhe, the assistant manager of Shibo Hall."

In the Borneo Taoist Prefecture, there are three assistants sent by Yujing Jiutang. The assistants of Tiangangtang and the assistants of Ancestral Temple are both from Qi Xuansu's side, and the assistant of Shibotang is from Wang Jiaohe.

However, this was not important information. Qi Xuansu had known it for a long time, so he still waited for the next step.

Chen Jianqiu continued: "Actually, Lin Tianhe is not from Borneo, but from Lingnan. The reason why he came to serve in the Borneo Taoist Government is also the result of the secret operation of the Wang family."

Qi Xuansu became interested, which was something he didn't know about.

Chen Jianqiu observed the words while continuing: "Wang Jiaoyan and Lin Tianhe met in the upper palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace. It's just that after Wang Jiaoyan was promoted to the fourth-level wine-offering Taoist priest, he did not seek any position, but applied for the travel agency Taoist priests do not receive regular money from the Taoist sect, and generally do not need to listen to the orders of the Taoist sect. They are equivalent to finding their own way out. Lin Tianhe entered the Shibotang as the director, and then steadily climbed up the ranks, and was eventually transferred to the Borneo Taoist House as the director. The assistant manager of the branch hall and became a Taoist couple with Wang Jiaoyan. "

Qi Xuansu had been a wandering Taoist priest, so he naturally knew what it was like to be a wandering Taoist priest. It cannot be said that he did not listen to the orders of the Taoist sect at all. If there was an all-out war, the Taoist sect would issue a first-class mobilization order, whether he was retreating to the mountains or a wandering Taoist priest. It is necessary to return to work, but this situation basically does not happen, so under normal circumstances, wandering Taoist priests just find their own way out, which can also be said to fend for themselves.

It is also very common for Wang Jiaoyan to have the status of a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, such as Qi Muyu and Li Tianyue. They do not serve in Taoist sects, but do their own business. Going a step further, Qiniang is also a Taoist priest of the fourth grade of sacrificial wine. It's just that Qiniang has found a new way, not only running a business, but also secretly developing her power. She even has the intention of breaking away from the family and establishing her own business. She has great energy and is obviously a level higher than these people. It's hard to generalize.
