Pawn Crossing the River

The word "color" has a knife on it, and Zhao Changmin really felt it.

One thousand Taiping money is really not a small amount. Qi Xuansu had put in a lot of effort for one thousand Taiping money. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu really doesn't pay attention to a mere thousand peace coins, but don't forget that Qi Xuansu's status now is completely different from that in the past. Besides, if Qi Xuansu is asked to come up with a thousand Taiping coins in cash now, he can't come up with it. Who asked him to buy a house?

Because of this incident, Zhao Changmin wanted to steal a few things from his residence in exchange for money, but he was afraid that Sun Yaozhen would notice. You know, it's one thing for Sun Yao to be really rich, but it doesn't mean that Sun Yao really doesn't regard money as money, and it's easy to show his flaws.

Because these items could only be taken from pawn shops, but most of the pawn shops in Lion City were owned by the Nanyang United Trading Company, Sun Yaozhen found it easy to check.

He wanted to run away, but he couldn't bear to leave the colorful world of Lion City.

Of course there are places in the world that are better than the Lion City, and they are not too few, but there is no other place in the South Sea. He is not an immortal who travels to the North Sea in the evening, and he can't go too far. Moreover, if he dared to leave without saying goodbye, Sun Yaozhen would definitely not let him go and would definitely catch him back. With the power of the Sun family, it would be easy to find out which ship he took. Weiji was taken back.

At this time, Zhao Changmin inevitably regretted, why didn't he make some useful friends through Sun Yaozhen's name? He spends his days hooking up with women from good families, but when the critical moment comes, he doesn't even have anyone to make suggestions.

For two consecutive nights, Zhao Changhao couldn't sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed

Sun Yaozhen was furious and whipped him hard with a whip with thorns and spikes.

The IOU that stated the cause of the incident was a curse. As long as this IOU was delivered to Sun Yaozhen, half of his life would be lost.

After staying up like this for two days, Zhao Changhou's eye circles were already black and his eyes were red. He was extremely tired and staggered when he walked. Those who didn't know thought he had been squeezed dry by the female ghost.

Fortunately, Sun Yaozhen has been obsessed with opera listening recently, and specially hired a famous actor to teach him how to sing, and did not come to see him, so no clues were discovered.

On the third day, debt collectors came to my door. Zhao Changhao had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy for a few more days.

These people are said to be from the Yao family, but their surname is not Yao. They are not even affiliated with the small sect. They should be said to be vassals. Their geographical location determines that they belong to the periphery of the Yao family's influence, and they are not even members of the Taoist sect. The leader was named Ruan Fengjue. He was originally from a local gang in Nanyang. Later, the gang offended the Sun family and was wiped out by the Taoist government with thunderous means. He only escaped with his life and defected to a vassal of the Yao family to become a disciple. Life was saved.

I heard that Ruan Fengjue was the most active in dealing with the Sun family, and it was really a deadly move. Not to mention, this time the eldest lady came forward in person. For these relatively peripheral forces, it is actually a kind of luck to be able to do things for the eldest lady. If things are done beautifully, it can make the eldest lady have an impression. In the future, The road is easy to go.

Without saying a word, Ruan Fenggue took out his knife and threatened Zhao Changhou to kill him.

Zhao Changfu was so frightened that he burst into tears and ranny nose, and couldn't help begging.

Ruan Fenggue was almost frightened when he saw it. Zhao Chang

The glutinous rice was already in despair, so he calmed down and said, "This matter is easy to handle. As long as Brother Zhao does a little favor for us, forget it. We don't want the thousand peace money."

Zhao Changfu perked up, reached out to touch the snot and tears on his face, and asked quickly: "What are you doing? I will do my best."

Ruan Fenggue smiled and said: "It's quite simple. Although Miss Sun has not been involved in business matters in the past few years, she has been more or less involved. Now the eldest son of the Sun family is useless and has fallen into the hands of Qi Zhenren. For a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for a while, so the eldest lady has to share some of the burden for Mr. Sun. To be honest, we are also businessmen in the business world. We want to know some inside information. For Brother Zhao, the person next to him, It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Zhao Changhao hesitated for a moment and agreed.

It's just a little inside information, it's really not that difficult.

Ruan Fenggue then explained the specific information to Zhao Changhou.

This so-called inside information actually has nothing to do with the case itself. It is mainly a means to further control Zhao Changfu. If Zhao Changfu was asked to deal with Sun Yaozhen from the beginning, he would definitely not do it, and he might even die. But if he is dragged into the water step by step, threatening with a big stick and giving some benefits appropriately, until he can no longer look back, It just fell into place.

It's like fishing. The fish has been hooked. You can't rush to lift the rod. You have to slip the fish. It's not too late to lift the rod again after the fish is exhausted.

What is a charlatan? It's not just that the clothes are white like snow and the people come and go like the wind. These unattractive methods are just a profile of people in the world.

Otherwise

It is said that the world is a quagmire.

Yao Pei naturally didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to know either. She only wanted to see the results. From the moment she decided to use these peripheral forces, she knew that the method would not be too glorious.

Because of the "Tai Shang Wang Qing Sutra", Yao Pei is actually a somewhat cold person, but this coldness is hidden under the dullness, and outsiders cannot feel it deeply. She will only look at things with absolute rationality and will not be emotional.

In her opinion, in this case, who is right and who is wrong is secondary. This is a life-and-death struggle. To put it bluntly, it is not impossible to insist on saying that the Wang family is wrong and to criticize the Wang family from the moral high ground. This can indeed be done during the trial after the victory.

But if you really want to regard yourself as a righteous man doing justice for heaven, then there is no need, because this will lead to a series of fatal questions. The Wang family is at fault, so is the Li family at fault? Are the Yao family and Zhang family so clean? Why not destroy the Li family after destroying the Wang family? Why not investigate the Zhang family and Yao family?

This is unplayable.

Playing with moral principles can easily get you burned.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that the Wang family has gone too far, or that the food looks too ugly. The fundamental reason is that the Wang family has not positioned itself correctly.

In fact, Qi Xuansu also understands this very clearly. Many people say that his consciousness is not high, and the general environment is such that he really cannot rise up. Who did he rely on to get to the top? He can't eat other people's food and smash other people's faults, otherwise he will become a "lonely minister". Now the Taoist sect doesn't even have a big leader, and he doesn't know who the "lonely minister" will be.

More importantly, if you hold it all day

If you criticize this or judge that if you are virtuous and righteous, others will demand you according to the standards of a saint. Once you do something bad, you will be criticized immediately with words and writings. This is backlash.

On the contrary, if you are a bad person and do good things occasionally, you will still get sympathy and praise.

This is the difference in required standards.

In a word, if a prostitute turns good in her later years, the fireworks of her half life will be fine; if a chaste woman loses her virginity, her life will be miserable.

Therefore, although you don’t want to be an old prostitute, you also don’t want to be a chaste woman. You should still be an ordinary person, stick to the principle of loyalty when you have a husband, and remarry when you no longer have a husband.

You must not be a saint, it is safer to be a layman.

You can have a conscience and a bottom line, but you must not think that you are the embodiment of justice.

All in all, adhering to the Central Plains people's golden mean and not going to extremes is actually the first-class choice.

Because of this, after Qi Xuansu arrived in Borneo, he had nothing to gain and women had no luck. Most of the time, he tried to act within the rules, but if there was an emergency, he still had to use means.

Soldiers are deceitful, and it would be inappropriate to talk about whether the procedures are legitimate or not at this time. If you insist on sticking to the rules and dogma, it confirms the saying that it will take three years for a scholar to rebel.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said on the table. Anyone who does say it on the table will probably be tortured by the "Qingliu" with morality. They will use the iron rope of morality to strangle their necks and ask with a ferocious face: "Why don't you become a saint? Why don't you obey the rules? You deserve to die!"

After Yao Pei ordered this matter, because it still needed some time, she couldn't be idle, so she personally

Went to Shenglong Mansion not only to meet Wang Jiaohe, but also to connect with Xu Jiaorong.

Hearing the news that Yao Pei was coming to Shenglong Mansion, Wang Danqing was in a bad mood, even a little gloomy. Not long ago, he had praised Haikou in front of Sun Yaozhen, saying that it would be great for Yao Pei to come to Borneo. It didn't mean anything, but I didn't expect Yao Pei to actually come.

Although the eldest lady of the Yao family is not from the authentic Fengxian Hall, nor is she as famous as Zhang Yuelu, her methods are quite good. The first case she took after taking office as the deputy head of Fengxian Hall was to examine the young master Li Changge. In the end, Li Changge After wasting more than a month in Jiangnan, Qi Xuansu had the opportunity to show off his skills on the battlefield of Fenglinzhou. In the end, the latecomer came on top and overtook the Taoist Sanxiu in one fell swoop.

Wang Danqing also knew why the Wang family was in this situation. Of course, it was not because Qi Xuansu wanted to touch the Wang family. He did not have such great ability, but because the people behind Qi Xuansu wanted to touch the Wang family.

Who is the person behind Qi Xuansu? He is Donghua Zhenren, and in the final analysis, he is still inseparable from the Yao family.

Yao Pei came here this time, in a sense, to contribute to his own affairs. How could he not be dedicated?

Wang Danqing is also quite self-aware that this deputy hall master Yao may be going to attack him.

How could he not worry?

On the other side, Qi Xuansu arranged things one by one, Lu Yuting was responsible for investigating the Nanyang United Trading Company, Li Zhuyu screened the Holy Court forces in the city, and Yao Pei investigated the inside of the Taoist government. Regarding the "Tianting" aspect, Zhang Yuelu was in charge and asked Ziguang Society to deal with "Tianting". Although Ziguang Society had few people, Ziguang Society could draw on its strength, and Liu Gui had Ziguang Society's staff around him.

people.

Qi Xuansu finally got some free time, so he continued to nurse his injuries and strive to restore his realm as soon as possible. Qi Xuansu didn't want the Jiayin spiritual officer to follow him all day long. The dignified first-grade spiritual officer would inevitably feel uncomfortable, and Qi Xuansu himself was also uncomfortable.

"Writing is a bit difficult. The second chapter will be a little later, so I don't recommend waiting."
