Chapter 171: The Drunkard’s Intention Is Not to Drink

Known as the "Mansion in the Sky", the Tao Mansion's No. 3 Palace Master-level flying boat slowly landed on Guijian Lake outside Shenglong Mansion.

Zhang Yuelu looked at the continuous rain outside the window and sighed.

During the last period of time when she was about to leave her job, she decided to do some practical things for Nanyang. She visited all the countries in Nanyang, promoted many practical things, and signed many contracts. As a result, Zhang Yuelu was notified that Zhang Yuelu was about to come to Shenglong Mansion to attend Taoist affairs, so Zhang Yuelu had to interrupt his trip and return to Shenglong Mansion.

This is most likely the last time Zhang Yuelu participated in the Taoist meeting of the Borneo Taoist Government.

Ke Qingqing, the accompanying secretary, had already started to help Zhang Yuelu pack his luggage. Zhang Yuelu did not move and looked out the window.

The sky was dark, the rain and fog were misty, and the surface of Guijian Lake was completely white. In addition, the window glass was also covered with raindrops, making the scene very blurry.

This didn't seem to be a good sign, and it also made Zhang Yuelu feel a little depressed.

It was not Zhang Yuelu's first day as a Taoist priest. She certainly knew that the situation in the Borneo Taoist House was not peaceful. It seemed that after the Wang and Sun Yudu were eliminated, a new power structure was formed. Not to mention monolithic, it was also united internally and externally. After all, most of them were A man of all truth.

But in fact it is not that simple. There has been a rift between the people of Donghua Master and the Yao family, and they are no longer as close as they used to be. However, the current leader, Yao Shu, is a core member of the Yao family. This sudden Taoism Yao Shu personally presided over the affairs of the government.

Zhang Yuelu knew very well that as the personnel adjustments gradually deepened, some people were staring at her eagerly and making various comments. Many people hope that she will miss the mark. Although it cannot be said that she will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction, she will withdraw from the competition early.

Therefore, Zhang Yuelu did not relax his vigilance just because this was the last shift, but instead he was very alert.

For example, in this meeting, she smelled something unusual.

Why can Qi Xuansu finish things so slowly? Over a cup of tea, the next direction was decided in a few words, because he united the biggest local snake Xidaomen and united all the forces that could be united. But Zhang Yuelu offended the local snakes in Nanyang, so Zhang Yuelu had to face many things alone.

Zhang Yuelu stepped off the flying boat surrounded by everyone. The person who came to greet him was Sun Yongfeng, the secretary of Master Landa, the first assistant manager of Sheji Palace, and Zhang Yuelu's old subordinate.

Zhang Yuelu and Sun Yongfeng exchanged polite greetings and boarded the carriage that had been prepared.

Sun Yongfeng also followed Zhang Yuelu's carriage, obviously he had something to report to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu didn't stop him. After sitting down, he got straight to the point: "What's going on?"

Sun Yongfeng lowered his voice: "Chief Zhang, people from Beichen Hall and Feng Xiantang are here, saying they are jointly handling the case."

"Handling a case? Whose case is it?" Zhang Yuelu was startled, but his face remained calm.

The rain was getting heavier, and it was even mixed with lightning and thunder. The lightning made the faces of the people in the car white and fleeting.

The sky outside the carriage seemed to have collapsed, the rain was pouring down, and the water columns formed a curtain of water, as if it was a water world - this is Nanyang, and there is no such heavy rain in the Central Plains at the moment.

Amidst the low thunder, Sun Yongfeng was still talking, his voice was not loud, but every word was louder than the thunder outside: "It's Xie Jiaofeng's case."

Zhang Yuelu frowned: "Why him? Even if something happens to Xie Jiaofeng, it should be handled by our Taoist government. How come Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall are involved?"

Sun Yongfeng said: "Someone directly took the materials and reported it to Yujing."

Zhang Yuelu asked directly: "Do you know who it is?"

Sun Yongfeng sighed, "It is said to be Lao Xie's lover Nangong Meng. This Nangong Meng is also a Taoist priest. He is good at dancing and has a wide network of contacts. It is said that he can also talk to some real people."

Zhang Yuelu snorted lightly and said nothing.

Sun Yongfeng continued: "This Nangong Meng has been with Lao Xie for many years. He always wanted to become a full-time official and wanted a status, but Lao Xie kept delaying and refused to give it. So the two of them fell out for some reason. As Nangong Meng's pillow, He knew a lot about Lao Xie... and threatened Lao Xie that he would expose Lao Xie. Lao Xie was also forced to take down Nangong Meng first. "

Zhang Yuelu interrupted and asked, "When did this happen?"

Sun Yongfeng said: "On the third day after you leave Lion City and start your tour of Southeast Asian countries."

Zhang Yuelu's face was a little gloomy. She didn't know these things, but there was nothing she could do about it. A person's time and energy were limited. She was so busy in the past that she had no time to care about her subordinates' private lives, and a female boss was inquiring. Male subordinates are also outrageous.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone would try to kill her.

Zhang Yuelu signaled Sun Yongfeng to continue.

Sun Yongfeng said: "This Nangong Meng is the kind of female Taoist priest who is good at digging camps. She has several friends. Although her position is not high, she has a wide network of contacts in Yujing and has contacts with many high-quality Taoist priests."

Zhang Yuelu's face was expressionless.

There will never be a shortage of such female Taoist priests. This is also the advantage of female Taoist priests. God knows what kind of big shots will be involved behind a pretty female Taoist priest, maybe she is a member of someone's harem.

"Nangong Meng was careful and wrote a blood letter in advance. The day before she was arrested, she gave this blood letter and some materials to a good friend of hers in Yujing. This friend sent the blood letter and materials to a real person after several rounds of transfers. Finally, this real person handed it to Fengxiantang, which alarmed Fengxiantang and caused the current situation." After Sun Yongfeng finished speaking, he quietly observed Zhang Yuelu's face.

Zhang Yuelu fell into deep thought.

If Xie Jiaofeng has a problem, then investigate Xie Jiaofeng strictly. She has no objection and will not shield Xie Jiaofeng. But she did not naively think that it had nothing to do with her.

What is naive? Thinking that if Xie Jiaofeng is cut off, people will let her go; thinking that people are simply investigating Xie Jiaofeng, it is just a coincidence; thinking that she is upright and everything has nothing to do with herself; this is naive.

What is the meaning of the drunkard's intention is not the wine, Zhang Yuelu still knows a little bit.

The two chief deputy governors of the Borneo Daofu are both Xie Jiaofeng's direct superiors. When such a thing happened, is there any leadership responsibility? Is there any problem of oversight? You can check it.

Pulling out the radish brings out the dirt. If Xie Jiaofeng has financial problems, then as his direct superior, is there any interest exchange? You can check it too!

If Xie Jiaofeng falls into someone else's hands, even if there is no problem, he will create some problems.

You can attack Qi Xuansu if you advance, and you can attack Zhang Yuelu if you retreat. The best result is to attack both of them, and make them look bad at this critical period.

In the past, Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu always investigated others, but now they turn around and investigate Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu. This feeling is still a bit strange.

After a while, Zhang Yuelu asked, "What exactly is the report?"

Sun Yongfeng replied, "I don't know yet. It's a secret of the special task force. But Old Xie has been rooted in Nanyang for many years. He has experienced two real people in charge of the house and three chiefs. He is in a prosperous place like Lion City. Most of his economic affairs are not clean. Maybe more people will be involved."

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth as bright as day. After a long time, a muffled thunder exploded and rumbled across the sky.

Sun Yongfeng continued, "I heard some gossip that hundreds of thousands of Taiping money and countless real estate deeds were found in Old Xie's home. It seems that he has unclear affairs with some women. To me, this is also a kind of normality. As long as there is no investigation, everyone is a good person, but once there is an investigation, who can stand it?"

Zhang Yuelu closed his eyes.

If this news is true and Xie Jiaofeng is not wronged, then the problem is serious.

Xie Jiaofeng turned out to be such a person. She was busy fighting with the old Taoist priests and promoting the new policy, but she forgot the principle of darkness under the lamp. It was her responsibility to neglect this point. She would not shirk responsibility and could also make a self-criticism to the Daofu during the meeting.

But she should be more alert to the subsequent series of changes. The wind is the head of the rain. With this gust of wind, there will also be a storm against her.

Zhang Yuelu also understood that Sun Yongfeng must have come to say these things with the instruction of Lan Da Zhenren, who was still on her side; Sun Yongfeng was able to know these situations, mostly due to Xu Jiaorong's credit, and Xu Jiaorong was also on her side.

The Daofu has not changed yet.

However, the Daofu notified her to come back for the meeting, which still shows that the problem is very serious, and Lan Da Zhenren and Xu Jiaorong have no good solution.

What matters now is not any rash action, but calmness.

Although the problem is very serious, the fire has not burned Zhang Yuelu after all, let alone Qi Xuansu. Zhang Yuelu didn't believe that someone would take measures against her as soon as she entered the door of the meeting hall. It hadn't come to that point yet.

As long as it hadn't reached the point where it was impossible to do anything, she was still the chief deputy lord of the Borneo Daofu, the third most important person in the Borneo Daofu after the Grand Master and the Master. She might still be able to organize a defensive battle and repel the enemy's attack.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. What is coming will eventually come. And the time chosen was very clever, just when she left Lion City. If she stayed in Lion City, it would be impossible to hide the capture of Xie Jiaofeng from her eyes, so she would have enough reaction time and would not be caught off guard. Now that she has traveled around the countries in Nanyang, Lion City has changed into a different world.

What can she do? There is no way, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

Qi Tianyuan said it well, if you want to plan for the country, you must first learn to plan for yourself. If you want to fight against the sky, you must first learn to fight against people.

Zhang Yuelu calmed down and asked, "What is the attitude of the Master of the Mansion now?"

Sun Yongfeng seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Yuelu to ask this question, and immediately replied, "The Master of the Mansion pointed out that the investigation of this case must be carried out under the direct leadership of the Dao Mansion. If it involves other senior members of the Dao Mansion, we must be cautious and not be afraid of this or that. We must investigate it to the end."

Zhang Yuelu's eyes became deep.

Yao Shu's "both" attitude made her smell the breath of danger.
