Chapter 29 The Sea

Two oral confessions, account books, various photos and audio recordings, and the hundreds of thousands of Taiping money that have been lying in Taiping Bank's accounts for several years can be used as stolen money and physical evidence.

To say that it is a solid case, there is still some shortcomings. But just asking Li Tianlan to "cooperate with the investigation" was more than enough.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked Zhang Qingyue to continue interrogating Breakthrough Gu Ying, and by the way, he also asked Liu Hu to stay here.

As the base camp of Cihang's lineage, Putuo Island's safety can still be guaranteed.

Under the current circumstances, Li Tianlan does not have the ability to attack Putuo Island. What we need to guard against now is Li Tianlan escaping directly, rather than Li Tianlan jumping over the wall.

Qi Xuansu himself did not take the flying boat, but secretly returned to Tianxin Dao Palace alone to interview Zhang Jucheng.

There were only two people in this secret discussion, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng.

If there are too many people, the news will be leaked easily.

The two mainly discussed one thing, when to take action.

You must take action, there is no doubt about it. If they don't take action, there is no need for them to expend so much effort. They will ignore the matter of Xidaomen and the blockade of Fenglinzhou and focus on these cases just for now.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng planned to open a gap by blocking Feng Linzhou and Gu Ying to frame Li Ping. However, they did not expect that Li Tianlan was so cunning that he did not leave any clues on these matters. They formed a circle and successfully broke through through the tail left by the first major Jiangnan case. It was also a foreshadowing that Qiniang had laid for Li Tianlan for many years and finally came into use.

The conditions for taking action are ripe. If we take action immediately, it will be a surprise attack. If he doesn't take action immediately, he will have to plan carefully, just like Jiang Daren surrounded Chen Shuhua to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Zhang Jucheng took the confession and read it over and over again.

Surprised?

not necessarily.

Zhang Jucheng has been in Taoism for so many years, how can he not guess what Li Tianlan has done in these years? It's just that he has to look surprised. ..

This can logically be tolerated or intolerable.

Then I heard Zhang Jucheng say: "According to the statement in this confession, Li Tianlan improperly profited from it almost 200,000 Taiping every year. In ten years, it will be 2 million Taiping. It is really not a small amount. I don't have it." Thinking about it, such a proven old Taoist priest actually did such a thing, what is the difference between him and those Confucian people? "

Qi Xuansu said: "This is just smuggling. There are many places where you can make money in such a large Jiangnan Province. Is there such a situation in other areas? I think what Li Tianlan is greedy for is definitely not just the two million Taiping money." Simple."

Zhang Jucheng agreed: "You are right. The nature of this matter is very serious. What is your opinion?"

Qi Xuansu did not hide his thoughts: "Changes happened later. When I was in the Imperial Palace, I just hesitated and let Qian Xiangyun run away. So my opinion is to take measures against Li Tianlan immediately to avoid causing a bigger problem." Loss."

Zhang Jucheng only thought for a very short time before nodding in agreement: "Control Li Tianlan first, and then report it to Jinque."

Qi Xuansu said, "I'll go there myself."

Zhang Jucheng said: "You must be careful."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Leave the overall situation of the Taoist government to my uncle."

The two quickly divided into divisions of labor. Qi Xuansu, on behalf of Beichen Tang, personally came forward to arrest Li Tianlan. As the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu, Zhang Jucheng controls the overall situation and minimizes the chaos that may occur within the Daofu to prevent the emergence of secret societies or other external forces taking advantage of the situation to avoid repeating the second Jiangnan War. case.

Today's Qi Xuansu is of course no longer the Qi Xuansu who was during the Second Jiangnan Case. At that time, Qi Xuansu could only play an insignificant role and did not play a key role. But now Qi Xuansu, even if he doesn't dare to say victory when he encounters the Divine Lord Siming, he can still protect himself.

After all, Qi Xuansu has too many possessions.

First of all, there are two fairy objects: "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" and "Guizang Lamp". Followed by semi-immortal objects: "Qingyun" and "Pure Bodhi". There is also a "Buddha's Relic" and a "Shebi Corpse Poison".

Even if Li Tianlan is a fake immortal, he can't stop him. Needless to say, Li Tianlan is not a pseudo-immortal.

Of course, Qi Xuansu could also ask Huangfu Ji to help, but Qi Xuansu did not do so. In any case, Huangfu Ji was a guest, and there was no reason for the guest to get involved in such a thing. The Taoist sect was not empty, and there was no need for Qi Xuansu to owe a favor for nothing.

Li Tianlan was not at Tianxin Dao Palace today, but at his own home.

Qi Xuansu left Tianxin Dao Palace and went straight to Li Tianlan's mansion.

He did not mobilize people from Beichen Hall, but sent out the spiritual officials of the Taoist government. As for spiritual officials, in the absence of a real person in charge, the real person in charge has absolute power. The last time the Lord Siming came, the Lingguan was absent, also because the Lord in charge at that time was not there.

However, Qi Xuansu took the first step and Lingguan moved later. If they acted together, it would be too slow.

Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the sky above Li Tianlan's mansion.

The night was dark and it started to rain.

Under normal circumstances, flying over the Jinling Mansion is prohibited, but Qi Xuansu now has no scruples and overlooks the Li Tianlan Mansion below.

In fact, Li Tianlan had already noticed something and was ready to leave Jiangnan when necessary. He certainly couldn't go to Nanyang. Although it was the home of the "Heavenly Court", it was also Qi Xuansu's territory. If Qi Xuansu really wanted to use the power of the Borneo Daofu, he wouldn't be able to hide for a few days. But he could go to Fenglinzhou, where there was chaos and monsters everywhere, making it easy to hide. More importantly, the Fenglinzhou Daofu was controlled by the Li family, and Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng couldn't get their hands on it.

But Li Tianlan never expected that Qi Xuansu would come so quickly.

Although someone had already tipped him off and told him that Qi Xuansu had gone to Putuo Island, he thought it would take at least a few days. As long as Qi Xuansu couldn't get the key evidence, he would still be the second deputy lord of the Daofu, and no one could do anything to him. He could hurry up and transfer some property as soon as possible.

But he still miscalculated and didn't expect the existence of Liuhu.

When Qi Xuansu appeared above the mansion, Li Tianlan noticed it immediately, and then he chose to escape without any hesitation.

This is Li Tianlan's old Taoist. He didn't waste time talking to Qi Xuansu. If he delayed for a while, the Taoist's large group of spiritual officials would arrive and deploy the formation, and there would be no possibility of escape. .

Li Tianlan did not fly to the sky to escape, but chose to escape in the earth, which was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, and could only be tracked by divine thoughts.

If Qi Xuansu was just a warrior, with the unity of spirit and body, it is really possible that Li Tianlan would run away accidentally, but Qi Xuansu was an immortal who was exiled from the sky. With the blessing of the alchemist inheritance and the witch inheritance, his divine thoughts always locked Li Tianlan tightly.

Then Qi Xuansu fell from the sky, calculated the lead time, and stepped on Li Tianlan's escape route.

The whole long street was instantly broken.

Li Tianlan was shaken out of the ground by Qi Xuansu's kick.

Qi Xuansu's move was as fast as lightning, and he directly locked Li Tianlan's throat.

To be fair, Qi Xuansu easily killed Dennis of the Steam Gospel Department in the New World, and Li Tianlan was not much stronger than Dennis. The reason why he could stir up trouble was not because of his realm cultivation, but because of the big tree of the Li family and the power in his hands.

Now Qi Xuansu has stripped him of his power and isolated his backers, and he can only rely on his realm cultivation.

Looking at the current Jiangnan Daofu, the only one who can compete with Qi Xuansu is Zhang Jucheng.

But Zhang Jucheng is on Qi Xuansu's side.

Li Tianlan used all his strength to narrowly avoid Qi Xuansu's grab, and then threw out a talisman: one go two three miles.

The spell acted on Qi Xuansu's body, and Qi Xuansu was forced to move three miles away.

It was just that Qi Xuansu's martial arts physique played a role, resisting the false spell with absolutely real blood and qi, so that the spell failed to take effect, and Qi Xuansu still stood firmly in place.

"Li Tianlan, where do you want to escape to?" Qi Xuansu shouted.

Li Tianlan kept his mouth shut and did not answer. His crane cloak fluttered, his sleeves fluttered, and he threw out two more talismans.

One talisman summoned the Yellow Turban Warrior, which was one of the signature spells of the Taiping Dao. However, this Yellow Turban Warrior was bigger, six feet tall, and more solid. It was shining with golden light, with ribbons wrapped around it, and two golden melon hammers in his hands, like two balls of light.

The other talisman summoned thunder, which was the method of the old rival Zhang family of the Zhengyi Dao, to attract heavenly thunder, turn it into a thunder dragon, and entangle Qi Xuansu. It just goes to show that the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your opponent.

Qi Xuansu showed his true body of a human immortal. He blocked the golden melon hammer thrown down by the Yellow Turban Warrior with his left hand, and tore the thunder dragon with his right hand, turning it into more numerous and smaller thunder snakes.

You get what you pay for. These two talismans are worth tens of thousands of Taiping coins. They can still hold Qi Xuansu back for a while.

Li Tianlan took this opportunity to escape again.

Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless. He was neither panicked nor angry. He smashed the Yellow Turban Warrior's golden hammer with his fist. He continued to smash the Yellow Turban Warrior's head, leaving only a headless corpse that slowly dissipated.

The thunder snakes that were formed by the disintegration of the Thunder Dragon were tightly wrapped around Qi Xuansu's body, wandering around. Qi Xuansu chose to ignore them directly, letting them wreak havoc, but they could not hurt Qi Xuansu at all, and they could only dissipate in the end.

Qi Xuansu's divine consciousness was still locked on Li Tianlan, and he chased after Li Tianlan again.

For Li Tianlan, Qi Xuansu was like a mountain that was constantly approaching, dark and gloomy, making people breathless.

Once upon a time, Qi Xuansu was just a small character that he didn't take seriously. .

At that time, he could never have imagined that Qi Xuansu would make him a homeless dog in the future.

Qi Xuansu was undoubtedly faster. When approaching the city wall, Qi Xuansu caught up with Li Tianlan and punched Li Tianlan in the back.

Li Tianlan flew out and crashed into the city wall. The city wall shook violently and smoke and dust rose up.
