Chapter 20 Nanyang Federation

The guards separated a road, and Gu Ying came in all directions.

I have to say that this woman's charm is indeed heart-warming.

However, a child of a wealthy family like Zhang Qingyue was well-informed and would not be confused when he saw a woman. He only lost his mind for a very short time, and then returned to a state of tranquility. "Mrs. Gu, please come with us."

Gu Ying bit her lip lightly and said pitifully, "Assistant Zhang, can you wait until your husband comes back and I can explain all the family affairs to him clearly before I leave with you?"

Zhang Qingyue was ruthless, "No."

Gu Ying said again, "I still have a young son at home. Can you allow me to settle my son and then go with Assistant Zhang?"

Zhang Qingyue was still unmoved, "Stop rambling, Mrs. Gu, do you want to delay time?"

Then Zhang Qingyue waved her hand, and the Taoist priests and spiritual officials immediately stepped forward, ready to take action.

Zhang Jucheng repeatedly emphasized that he should act quickly, so Zhang Qingyue certainly would not have a good debate with Gu Ying.

As for why he didn't take action directly, it was because Zhang Qingyue was also following the procedure, giving orders first, and then speaking clearly to prevent others from finding fault.

If we directly launch a surprise attack, the efficiency is high enough and the action is fast enough, but it leaves too many hidden dangers. Li Tianlan would also use the same tricks that Qi Xuansu would use. If he didn't talk about whether Gu Ying was guilty or not and instead talked about procedural issues first, Zhang Jucheng would be very passive.

Now that Zhang Qingyue has gone through this process, the order has been given, and the interests and risks have been clearly explained to you. If you still don't cooperate, then you can only use violent means, and others will not be able to make mistakes afterwards.

Gu Ying obviously understood this and could no longer bear the charge of resisting the Taoist government, so she said, "Okay, I'll just go with you."

After saying that, she glanced at the guard leader again and said softly, "Notify the second officer immediately."

Zhang Qingyue was indifferent to this. Two elderly female Taoist priests from the Cihang lineage came forward and sandwiched Gu Ying on the left and right. "Mrs. Gu, please."

Gu Ying followed Zhang Qingyue out of the Li Mansion and was directly escorted onto a "Crane Boat". Then the Crane Boat took off. There was already a "Purple Jiao" hovering in the sky waiting for it. After picking up the "Crane Boat", the "Purple Jiao" Go straight to Putuo Island located on the sea.

Gu Ying originally thought that she would be imprisoned in the hell prison of Jiangnan Dao Mansion. There were no acquaintances there, but she did not expect to leave Jinling Mansion directly. She finally panicked and said, "Where are you taking me?"

Zhang Qingyue didn't respond or look at her. She just reported to Zhang Jucheng, "Zhenren, the operation went smoothly and she was very cooperative."

"Yes, we have already boarded the spaceship."

"Please rest assured, real person."

"I know."<

On the other side, the anxious Li Zhuyu finally contacted Qingwei Zhenren.

"Zhu Yu?" As the adoptive father, Qingwei Zhenren naturally would not call his daughter by her first name, but by her first name.

Li Zhuyu took a deep breath and said quickly, "It's me, father. I really shouldn't take up your time and interfere with you at this time..."

Qingwei Zhenren interrupted her with a gentle and unquestionable voice, "Then give a brief report."

"Yes." Li Zhuyu spoke faster, "I accidentally learned about Li Minghuang and Gu Ying's adultery. The two also framed Li Mingping, Li Tianlan's son, and Li Mingping was exiled to Luo Suozhou. I asked Feng Xiantang's Deputy Hall Master Lu brought Li Mingping back from Luo Suozhou and re-examined the case. But Chief Qi found out about the incident and intervened forcefully to take over the handling of the case. The reason he gave was to facilitate the cooperation of Jiangnan Provincial Government in the investigation and to cooperate with Jiangnan Provincial Government. Zhang Jucheng jointly handled the case and controlled the people first. "

"I'm worried that if this happens, Zhang Jucheng and others will use this incident to attack Li Tianlan, or even pull Li Tianlan down. And Li Minghuang is also not optimistic. When it comes to matters between men and women, not only his future It will also damage the reputation of the Li family. I argued with Chief Qi, but he has made up his mind..."

Master Qingwei listened carefully and suddenly asked, "As for what you said about Li Minghuang and Gu Ying's adultery, is it possible or is it already confirmed?"

Li Zhuyu was startled, "I don't have any concrete evidence yet, only some indirect evidence and confessions."

"The discussion is not over yet. It's just an intermission now. I don't have much time. Remember what I say." Master Qingwei's voice was very calm and clear. "Since Qi Xuansu has joined forces with Zhang Jucheng, it is again in Jiangnan Daofu." On their own territory, they must have made complete preparations. It doesn’t make much sense to intervene at this time. We can only make up for it now, that is, to save the face of the Li family and Li Minghuang. "

"First of all, destroy all evidence about adultery, shut up Li Mingping, don't let him fall into the hands of others, cut Li Minghuang out of this matter, don't let this scandal continue to ferment, and strive to minimize the impact ”

"Secondly, informing Li Tianlan of this situation is the most benevolent thing. Then let's see how Li Tianlan responds. If he can survive, that's the best. If he can't survive, no one else can be blamed."

"Finally, this matter ends with Li Tianlan. After the discussion is over, I will personally greet Qi Xuansu and he will understand."

"alright

, I am going to attend the meeting. If you still have any questions, please contact Shen Yuqing and he will tell me after the meeting is over. "

Li Zhuyu whispered, "Zhu Yu understands."

The call with Zhenren Qingwei has ended.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng were in a different situation.

When the meeting of Qingwei Zhenren was about to end, news came from Putuo Island that Gu Ying had been properly settled and the interrogation had already begun.

Zhang Jucheng was in a good mood, and the more he looked at Qi Xuansu, the more he liked him.

He thought a little bit of a disappointment, if Qi Xuansu was his son-in-law, it would be great, no, if he could have such a son.

The Zhang family would not be as embarrassed as it is now.

It's a pity that he has no son, so he can't compare with Qi Xuansu, and he has a daughter, but she can't compare with Zhang Yuelu.

When it comes to his daughter, he doesn't expect his daughter to be as good as Zhang Yuelu, and doesn't talk about any job grade, realm cultivation, talent and ambition. You like love so much, it's okay if you can keep up with Zhang Yuelu in choosing men. You don't expect to surpass her, just keep up.

What's the result? His vision for choosing men is also a mess, and he chose Li Minghuang. What kind of human nature is that? Relying on the relationship of the Zhang family to enter Tiangang Hall, he stabbed the Zhang family in the back and worshipped the adoptive father of the Li family. Then he committed adultery with his aunt and had an affair with other women.

With such a character, even if Li Minghuang really became the son-in-law of the Zhang family, he might be more obedient when his old father-in-law was alive. Now that his old father-in-law is gone, can Zhang Yuyue control Li Minghuang? I don’t know how much sin she will have to endure. This is inviting a wolf into the house.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu, Li Tianzhen, Li Minghuang, can be seen at a glance that they are not good people. Instead, she took a fancy to Qi Xuansu, who was ordinary at the time, and had a bit of condescension. As a result, Qi Xuansu rose to prominence step by step, and he did not become a traitor. He was so clean that he didn’t get close to women.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. So many eyes are staring at it. If Qi Xuansu really had any problems, they would have been made public long ago. There is no need to bother to spread rumors.

What else is there to say?

This is one heaven and one earth.

But he had no say in this matter, so he could only sigh.

Zhang Jucheng sat next to Qi Xuansu, stretched out his hand and patted Qi Xuansu's shoulder, "Tianyuan, you are only thirty years old. With such means in domestic and foreign affairs, you will be limitless in another thirty years."

Qi Xuansu said modestly, "Uncle Zhang, you are too kind."

"Not at all. Pei Donghua is so eager to accept you as a disciple, there is a reason." Zhang Jucheng said, "I am not a self-respecting person. Look at the fate of my Zhengyi sect. For seven or eight generations, including me, no man has become a useful person, and we expect women to hold up half the sky. But since Xuansheng, or even since Daozu, there has been no precedent for a woman to serve as the leader of the Taoist sect. Can Su Zhisheng and Yuelu set this precedent? I don't hold much hope."

Qi Xuansu wanted to speak, but Zhang Jucheng raised his hand to stop him, "Let's see. The fate of our Taoist sect is inherited from the seventh and eighth generations, that is, Qingwei Zhenren and Li Changge are on the same line, Donghua Zhenren and you are on the same line, and as for the line between Cihang Zhenren and Qingxiao, it is better not to mention it. Some people outside said that Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao reached an agreement to work together to send Donghua Zhenren up first, and then Donghua Zhenren returned the favor and lifted Qingxiao up. Regardless of whether these rumors are true or false, Emperor Shizong of the Great Wei Dynasty said that anything anyone promised you does not count, only what you can decide on yourself counts. "

"In my opinion, the only one who can compete with Li Changge in the end is you, Tianyuan, and the rest of Qingxiao and Yao Pei are not worth mentioning. "

Qi Xuansu was a little confused about what Uncle Zhang meant for a while. Was he just feeling something? Or did he have other intentions?

It was at this time that Qingwei Zhenren's meeting ended and contacted Qi Xuansu as soon as possible.

Qi Xuansu apologized to Zhang Jucheng and connected to Qingwei Zhenren's call.

"Master, I'm Qi Xuansu." Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless, and his voice had been adjusted to that of a respectful subordinate.

"Yes, I have informed Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang has already controlled the person."

"I asked Lord Zhang about handing over the person, but... Lord Zhang refused to hand over the person."

"I have no choice. As the chief, I am mainly responsible for foreign affairs. My subordinates are all overseas, and I don't have many people under my command. I can only rely on the manpower of Jiangnan Daofu."

"I am also very angry. This is obviously the case of Beichen Hall. How can Lord Zhang do this? Isn't this stealing credit?"

"Yes, I will continue to negotiate with Lord Zhang."

"Yes, I believe Lord Zhang will understand."

Qi Xuansu ended the call.

Zhang Jucheng asked, "What did Li Qingwei say?"

Qi Xuansu replied, "If it only involves Li Tianlan, then it can be handed over to Jiangnan Daofu for disposal. If it involves people outside Jiangnan Daofu, it must be handled by Beichen Hall."

Zhang Jucheng quickly distilled the core meaning of this sentence, "Stop it."
