Pawn Crossing the River

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 become a prisoner.

Now Zhang Wuyue is prospering in the Southern Continent. He is engaged in serious business and is full of ambitions. He wants to expand his business to Xingang and Lanyun Island.

Although Qi Xuansu sent Huo Ling to Zhang Wuyue's side, Huo Ling had other errands. At the same time, he had to track down the whereabouts of Sun Yong and Chen Yan, so it was impossible to stay with Zhang Wuyue all day long.

Zhang Wuyue didn't care either. He was already a familiar face in Xingang. Because of Qi Xuansu's face, Huangfu Ji's care, and a lot of Taiping money as a source of support, all the prominent and powerful people knew him, and they usually called him brothers. , we are all buddies, what is there to be afraid of?

There's really nothing to be afraid of.

Tonight, Zhang Wuyue negotiated a deal with the deputy hall master of Xidaomen again. He walked out of the courtyard, which was reserved for powerful people, slightly drunk, and once again declined the invitation from Xidaomen to send him. I went back with the best of intentions, planning to take a walk by myself and sober up.

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

Although Zhong Boyu has lost all his cultivation, he is a veteran in all senses and has quite a lot of experience. From many details, it can be concluded that Zhang Wuyue did not go out early in the morning, but did not come back at all last night.

Zhong Boyu realized something was wrong and immediately went to find the person who drank with Zhang Wuyue last night. With such a pair, both parties realized something was wrong. Zhang Wuyue didn't come home that night and didn't leave a word. It couldn't be a private meeting. Which lover is it? It shouldn't be. Zhang Wuyue is not indulgent in matters of men and women, and he has never heard of having any lovers.

The two sides discussed it, and Xidaomen wanted to send people to look for it first, and if they couldn't find it, they would report it.

Zhong Boyu was more decisive and believed that the report should be reported immediately. He knew Zhang Wuyue. Even if he really wanted to find a lover to spend the night, he would tell him in advance instead of disappearing, so something might have happened to Zhang Wuyue. To put it bluntly, even if it is reported, it is better to have a false alarm than to be irreversible.

At Zhong Boyu's insistence, the two parties finally reached an agreement and reported the matter to He Shaoyang, who in turn reported it to Huangfuji.

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

Huangfu was very sensitive. He did not think that the people below were making a fuss or making a fuss, but immediately thought of what was happening in Nanyang.

If someone wants to make a fuss about Zhang Yuelu, if a frontal attack has little effect, it is best to break through from the side, that is, start from the people around him. This is the most basic principle.

Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Qi Xuansu. Whether he dealt with Wang Jiaohe or Li Tianlan, he did not attack the real master directly. Instead, he first cut off his wings or looked for evidence of guilt from the people around him. In the end, he was left alone or alone. After collecting enough evidence, launch a general attack.

Now people are thinking the same way. They start from Zhang Yuelu. If Lin Yuanmiao can't move, he moves Xie Jiaofeng. Xiao Yin has no problem, so he starts with Zhang Yuelu.

As long as something goes wrong with Xie Jiaofeng and Zhang Yuelu, then 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 personnel adjustment, and his purpose will be lost. Achieved.

As for Zhang Wuyue's problem, Huangfuji also knew a little bit about it, and Qi Xuansu still gave it to him. In Huangfuji's view, the business Zhang Wuyue did in Lion City was nothing at all. Is that called business? How much money do you make? Moreover, Zhang Yuelu has been ordered to close down and his business has been confiscated. Zhang Wuyue came to the Southern Continent almost alone. Today's funds mainly come from raising funds, that is, borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

But some things don't have four ounces of weight if they don't go on the scale, and it's hard to tell if they go on the scale. The key here is that they are not trying to bring down Zhang Yuelu, they just want to defeat Zhang Yuelu for a while, so there is no need for any big case, this is enough.

As long as Zhang Wuyue is brought back to the Central Plains and the case is settled, it will be settled.

Aren’t you, Zhang Yuelu, a noble person? Isn’t it about morality and ideals? How could such a thing happen? Why can't you control your brother?

Your brother has a problem, your subordinates have a problem, do you have a problem yourself? Even if there is no problem, do you personally have any responsibility?

The nature is even worse.

This is also human nature. Good people will be pointed at with a bludgeon. For the same thing, Zhang Yuelu and Li Tianzhen had two different outcomes. Because Li Tianzhen had long been notorious, she was more tolerant of him.

Now that I think about it, the woman who encouraged Zhang Wuyue to do business was also very suspicious. Maybe she was a trap set by others in advance. A vigorous young man may be able to withstand the pain and suffering and dare to face life and death, but he will definitely not be able to stop him. The powder trap of warm fragrant nephrite. It’s just that young people don’t have capital and don’t have many opportunities to stand the test.

Young people like Zhang Wuyue, who have a relatively strict upbringing, do not have much contact with women. In Western terms, they have not been able to disenchant women and have not completely dispelled the sacredness of women. It’s not like Qi Xuansu is a strong-willed person. Of course, Qi Xuansu completed this kind of disenchantment too early. Yue Liuli almost killed him before, and Qiniang’s personal teaching later. And then there’s the young man’s attitude toward the opposite sex. The sense of sanctity is also unrealistic.

Under such circumstances, when a long drought brings a sudden rain, it is easy to treat a woman as a treasure and fall in love with her to death, which is also reasonable.

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

As the saying goes, marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat. Regardless of shouting about equality, there is no equality in this kind of thing. There is no need to talk about those words. Anyway, "money" is just one word. Who doesn't spend money on betrothal gift and house? This is also natural, right?

You have no money, but your sister and brother-in-law have money.

Feel too embarrassed to ask for money? It doesn't matter, they have the right. As long as they borrow a little bit of help, they can use their "ability" to buy a big business. There's no shame in that. And everyone does it this way, so it's not a big deal.

Just step by step, Zhang Wuyue fell into someone else's trap without even realizing it, and it became someone else's card.

They are not in a hurry to play this card, just like Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry to play Lu Yujue's card. He only waits for a critical moment before playing it.

When the time comes, Zhang Yuelu will be imprisoned, and Zhang Yuelu will also be implicated.

Even if Zhang Yuelu noticed it in advance and saved Zhang Wuyue to a certain extent, he still left a clue.

It's just that Huangfu never expected that those people's hands would be so long that they would reach the southern continent and Xingang under his nose.

This also made Huangfu very angry. Not long ago, he was telling Qi Xuansu that the Southern Continent was his territory and that he was not afraid of Li Changge. However, Li Changge had not even arrived at the Southern Continent yet, and he made this scene. In a sense, , this is also Taipingdao showing its strong strength to Xidaomen.

Where does this make Huangfu Ji put his face?

Huangfuji immediately ordered all ports to be blocked, and all ships and ships leaving the port to be strictly inspected. Even those that had left last night must be forced to return, and even if warships are dispatched, they must be chased back.

It is impossible for a large living person to be crammed into the Sumeru. With the distance between the southern continent and the Central Plains, it is also impossible to build a teleportation formation. At least Xingang does not have this condition. If you want to bring Zhang Wuyue back to the Central Plains, then you can only It is a long journey to cross the ocean, and there are not many places to stay. Even heavenly beings cannot take a person across the ocean. It would be too costly.

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

Huangfu strongly believed that Zhang Wuyue was most likely still in Xingang, perhaps hidden somewhere, so he ordered a comprehensive search to begin, digging three feet into the ground to find him.

In the past, Huangfuji had always been called a radical. There was a saying that he was the "Tiger of Xidaomen", which means that he acted vigorously and resolutely, like a tiger descending from the mountain, without any sloppiness, and without any hesitation.

The same is true for Huangfu Ji's handling of this matter. He did not push forward step by step, but started a big fight from the beginning, shaking the earth. There was a hint of anger in this - before Qi Xuansu left, something went wrong with Zhang Wuyue. How could he have the dignity to meet Qi Xuansu? How effective are those promises?

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

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

Although during this period of time, Huangfu Jiji seemed to be the real person in charge of Xingang Daofu, and various matters in Juesheng Church were handled by Tantai Ying, Huangfu Ji was the real person in charge.

During the discussion, Huangfu became extremely angry and scolded all the deputy hall masters until they could not hold their heads up.

Of course, he would not directly say that Taipingdao was most likely responsible for this matter. That would be too damaging to unity and should not be discussed on the table. Instead, he would blame the problem on external forces and point directly at the Steam Gospel.

It was the Evangelical Department of Steam Gospel who planned this kidnapping with the intention of sabotaging the construction of New Port. It rose to the level of a struggle between ourselves and the enemy. Huangfu Ji demanded that the entire Juesheng Church attach great importance to it, take it seriously, and solve the case within a time limit.

This kind of case all depends on whether the superiors take it seriously or not. Since the real person in charge of the church personally spoke and gave the death order, Juesheng Church naturally did not dare to neglect and ran with all its strength. Although Juesheng Church could not compare with a behemoth like Tiangang Church, But it is definitely not a small fight, and it is on your own territory, so it should not be underestimated.

For a time, the Juesheng Church was really full of Tiqi, and three deputy church leaders personally supervised the case.

The key point is that Huangfu Ji is not only the real person in charge of the Juesheng Hall, but also the future head of the Xidao Sect. Several other halls have to show Huangfu Ji's face, including the West Tiangang Hall. They immediately dispatched warships and really put the people who had already set sail. The flying boat and other ships were chased back with such great force. Could it be that Huangfuji was showing off his huge power in the Southern Continent to his allies and opponents?
