Chapter 174 Kidnapping

Zhang Wuyue didn't know that a huge storm was brewing in Nanyang. If he was still in Nanyang, it would be very dangerous and he might have been imprisoned.

Now Zhang Wuyue is doing well in the South Continent. He is doing legitimate business and is full of ambition to do business in Xingang and Lanyun Island.

Although Qi Xuansu sent Huo Ling to Zhang Wuyue, Huo Ling had other tasks. At the same time, he had to track down the whereabouts of Sun Yong and Chen Yan. It was impossible for him to follow Zhang Wuyue all day.

Zhang Wuyue didn't care. He had become a familiar face in Xingang. Because of Qi Xuansu's face and Huangfu Ji's care, and a lot of Taiping money as a backing, all the powerful people knew him. They were brothers and sisters on weekdays. What was there to be afraid of?

There was really nothing to be afraid of.

Tonight, Zhang Wuyue negotiated a deal with a vice-master of the West Gate. He walked out of the academy that was reserved for the rich and powerful with a little bit of drunkenness. He once again declined the kindness of the West Gate to send him back, and planned to walk around and sober up.

But the next day, when Zhong Boyu went to Taiping Inn to find Zhang Wuyue, he found that there was no one in Zhang Wuyue's private courtyard.

Although Zhong Boyu had lost his cultivation, he was an old man in all senses and had rich experience. From many details, he concluded that Zhang Wuyue did not go out early in the morning, but did not come back last night.

Zhong Boyu realized that something was wrong and immediately went to find the person who drank with Zhang Wuyue last night. As a pair, both sides realized that something was wrong. Zhang Wuyue did not return home at night and did not leave a word. Could it be that he went to meet a lover in private? It shouldn't be that way. Zhang Wuyue was not indulgent in matters of men and women, and I didn't hear that he had any lovers.

After a discussion, the West Gate meant to send someone to find him first, and if he couldn't find him, he would report it.

Zhong Boyu was more decisive and thought that the matter should be reported immediately. He knew Zhang Wuyue. Even if she really wanted to spend the night with her lover, she would tell him in advance instead of disappearing. So it was very likely that something had happened to Zhang Wuyue. Even if she reported it, a false alarm was better than an irreversible one.

Under Zhong Boyu's insistence, the two sides finally reached an agreement and reported the matter to He Shaoyang, who then reported it to Huangfu Ji.

Because Qi Xuansu was not in Xingang or Xinxijing, but went to Paititi Cave Heaven, Huangfu Ji handled the matter.

Huangfu Ji was sensitive. He did not think that the people below were making a fuss or making a fuss, but immediately associated it with what was happening in Nanyang.

Someone wanted to make a fuss about Zhang Yuelu. If the frontal attack had little effect, it would be best to break through from the side, that is, to start with the people around him. This is the most basic truth.

Let's not talk about others, let's talk about Qi Xuansu. Whether he dealt with Wang Jiaohe or Li Tianlan, he didn't attack the main person directly, but first clipped his wings, or looked for evidence from the people around him, and finally only one person was left or enough evidence was collected before launching a general attack.

Now people have the same idea, starting from Zhang Yuelu's side. If Lin Yuanmiao can't be moved, then move Xie Jiaofeng. Xiao Yin is fine, so start with Zhang Wuyue.

As long as Xie Jiaofeng and Zhang Wuyue have problems, Zhang Yuelu will be in danger. He will not be taken down, but he may not be promoted. Then he will fail in the competition for this personnel adjustment, and his goal will be achieved.

As for Zhang Wuyue's problem, Huangfu Ji also knows a little bit, and Qi Xuansu still told him the truth. In Huangfu Ji's view, the little business Zhang Wuyue did in Lion City is nothing at all. Is that a business? How much money does it make? Moreover, Zhang Yuelu has been ordered to shut down and the business has been confiscated. Zhang Wuyue came to the South Continent almost alone, and now the funds mainly come from fundraising, that is, borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

But some things are not as important as the scale, and it is hard to say when they are weighed. The key here is that people are not trying to bring down Zhang Yuelu, but just want Zhang Yuelu to lose this time, so there is no need for any major case, this matter is enough.

As long as Zhang Wuyue is brought back to the Central Plains and the case is confirmed, it will be considered a success.

Aren’t you Zhang Yuelu noble? Don’t you talk about morality and ideals? How did you make such a fuss? How can you manage your brothers?

Your brothers have problems, your subordinates have problems, do you have any problems yourself? Even if there are no problems, do you have any responsibility?

The nature is even worse.

This is also human nature, good people will be pointed at by fire guns. The same thing, Zhang Yuelu and Li Tianzhen have two different results, because Li Tianzhen has long been notorious, but the tolerance for him is higher.

Now that I think about it, the woman who encouraged Zhang Wuyue to do business was also very suspicious. Maybe it was a trap set by others in advance. Young men with strong blood may be able to withstand the bitterness and pain, and dare to face life and death, but they will definitely not be able to resist the trap of the soft and fragrant powder. It's just that young people don't have the capital and don't have many opportunities to be tested.

Young people like Zhang Wuyue, who have strict family education, don't have much contact with women. In the words of Westerners, they have not been able to disenchant women and have not completed the elimination of the sacredness of women. He is not a man with a strong will like Qi Xuansu. Of course, Qi Xuansu completed this disenchantment too early. Yue Liuli almost killed him before, and Qi Niang taught him personally afterwards. It is not realistic to think that a young man has a sense of sacredness for the opposite sex.

In this case, it is reasonable to treat a woman as a treasure and love her to death after a long drought.

This is falling into someone's trap. If you fall in love with a woman, you must talk about marriage, right?

As the saying goes, marrying a man means you get clothes and food. Don't be too proud to say that you are equal. There is no equality in this matter. There is no need to talk about those rhetoric. Anyway, "money" is just one word. Who doesn't spend money on betrothal gifts and houses? This is also natural, right?

You don't have money, but your sister and brother-in-law do.

Do you feel embarrassed to ask for money? It doesn't matter. They have the power. As long as they borrow a little east wind, they can use their "ability" to buy a good family business. This is not shameful, and everyone does this. It's no big deal.

Just step by step, Zhang Wuyue fell into someone's trap without knowing it, and this became a card for others.

People are not in a hurry to play this card, just like Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry to play Lu Yujue's card, and will only play it at a critical moment.

When Zhang Wuyue is imprisoned, Zhang Yuelu will also be implicated.

Even though Zhang Yuelu noticed it in advance and saved Zhang Wuyue to a certain extent, it still left a handle.

But Huangfu Ji didn't expect that those people's hands were so long that they stretched to the South Continent and to Xingang under his nose.

This also made Huangfu Ji a little angry. Not long ago, he was still telling Qi Xuansu that the South Continent was his territory and he was not afraid of Li Changge. As a result, Li Changge hadn't arrived in the South Continent yet, and he made a scene. In a sense, this was also the Taiping Dao showing its strong strength to the West Dao Sect.

Where did Huangfu Ji put his face?

Huangfu Ji immediately ordered to block all ports and strictly check all ships and flying boats leaving the port. Even if they had left last night, they had to be forced to return, even if they had to send warships to chase them back.

It is impossible to stuff a living person into the Xumi object. It is impossible to build a teleportation array due to the distance between the southern continent and the Central Plains. At least Xingang does not have this condition. If you want to bring Zhang Wuyue back to the Central Plains, you can only cross the ocean. This is a long journey, and there are not many footholds. Even if you are a celestial being, it is impossible to bring a person across the ocean. The consumption is too great.

Xingang has implemented a comprehensive martial law. After all, it is still under construction. It is just a large construction site. There is no impact or appearance. Huangfu Ji does not have to shrink back.

Huangfu Ji believes that Zhang Wuyue is likely to be in Xingang, and may be hidden somewhere, so he ordered a comprehensive search to find the person even if he digs three feet underground.

In the past, Huangfu Ji has always been called a radical. There is a saying that he is "the tiger of the Western Daomen", which means that he does things swiftly and decisively, like a tiger going down the mountain, without any dragging and without holding back.

Huangfu Ji handled this matter in the same way. He did not push forward step by step, but started a big fight at the beginning, shaking the world. There was a bit of anger in this - Qi Xuansu hadn't left yet, and Zhang Wuyue had problems. How could he have the face to see Qi Xuansu? How effective were those promises?

Huangfu Ji must solve this matter perfectly in the shortest time as an explanation.

After Huangfu Ji issued a series of orders, he personally convened the meeting of Juesheng Hall.

Although Huangfu Ji seemed to be the head of Xingang Daofu during this period of time, and all matters of Juesheng Hall were handled by Tan Taiying, Huangfu Ji was the real head of the hall.

At the meeting, Huangfu Ji was furious and scolded all the deputy hall masters so much that they couldn't raise their heads.

Of course, he would not directly say that this matter was probably done by Taiping Dao, which would destroy unity too much and could not be discussed on the table. Instead, he attributed the problem to external forces and pointed directly at Steam Gospel.

It was the Gospel Department of Steam Gospel that planned this kidnapping, intending to destroy the construction of the new port, which rose to the level of the enemy-us struggle. Huangfu Ji required the Juesheng Hall to attach great importance to it, treat it seriously, and solve the case within a time limit.

This kind of case depends on whether the higher-ups attach importance to it or not. Since the head of the hall personally spoke and gave a death order, the Juesheng Hall naturally did not dare to neglect it and worked at full capacity. Although the Juesheng Hall could not compare with the giant Tiangang Hall, it was definitely not a small fight, and it was on its own territory, so it should not be underestimated.

For a time, the Juesheng Hall was really "Tiqi went out in all directions", and there were three deputy hall masters who personally supervised the case.

The key is that Huangfu Ji is not just the head of the Juesheng Hall, but also the future master of the West Daomen. The other halls have to give Huangfu Ji face, including the West Tiangang Hall, and immediately dispatched warships, and really chased back the flying boats and other ships that had already set sail. The strength was so great, isn't it Huangfu Ji showing his monstrous power in the southern continent to his allies and opponents?
