Taiping Inn

After Qian Yulong left the ancestral hall, he hurried back to his other private house. After Liu Yushuang was exposed, he sent someone to escort him here. This house is much larger than the previous house and is no longer so remote.

At this time, Li Xuandu was also in this house and did not follow Qian Yulong to the Qian Family Ancestral Hall.

When Qian Yulong came back, Li Xuandu sat in the main hall waiting for him, and Liu Yushuang was accompanying him.

After Qian Yulong walked into the main hall, he took off the cloak he was wearing and smiled and said, "The mission is done."

Because there is no maid here, Liu Yushuang personally took the cloak and asked with a smile: "What's the point?"

Qian Yulong stretched out his palm, as if it was the Buddha's Five Fingers Mountain, and smiled and said, "After today, Qian Yulou has no chance of accomplishing things, and it is not enough to prevent me from taking charge of the Qian family's great cause. Let it change, and I will never be able to break out of this. In the hands of the grasp.”

"This cowhide is so bragging to the sky." Li Xuandu also got up.

Qian Yulong curled his smile a little and said seriously: "Talk the serious business."

Li Xuandu asked, "Does there be any clues about Governor Qin?"

Qian Yulong sat on the chair next to Li Xuandu, signaling Li Xuandu to sit down, and then said, "This is thanks to my little aunt. She not only has a close relationship with the Governor of Jingchu, but also with the Governor of Jiangnan. There are so many interactions. It is said that I even worshiped the wife of the Governor of Jiangnan. Only with her can I learn the inside story.”

Qian Yulong glanced at Liu Yushuang, and Liu Yushuang understood and left the house, leaving only Qian Yulong and Li Xuandu.

Qian Yulong then continued to say to Li Xuandu: "The Governor of Jiangnan set up a Hongmen Banquet. It is said that the Governor of Jiangnan had some trouble at the banquet. Zifu probably thought that the Governor of Qin had the cultivation level of the Heavenly Man Realm, not to mention the ten thousand. The poison is not invaded, but it is not far from each other. How could it be controlled by a mere poison? But the world is so big that there is nothing strange. There is really such a magic medicine in the world called "Returning Soul Incense", which was consumed by the true man of Wanshou of Miaozhenzong. It was refined over more than ten years. The so-called soul-returning fragrance is a spiritual object. It smells the fragrance for hundreds of miles, and the dead body is on the ground, and it will be alive if you smell it. But if a living person smells it, even if it is a great master of the Heavenly Realm, The qi operation must also be blocked within one incense stick of time. If at this time, a great master of the Heavenly Realm attacks suddenly, what would you think it would be?”

Li Xuandu naturally heard the name of the Soul-Returning Incense. When Emperor Wu missed Mrs. Li, he ordered the alchemist to burn the Soul-Returning Incense. The wife's figure appeared in the smoke. Emperor Wu wrote a poem even more sadly: "Whether it is right or wrong, but I look at it in a different way. Na He Ranran is late.”

But he didn't expect that the soul-returning fragrance has such an effect, and there are still people in this world who can refine the soul-returning fragrance that has long been lost.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "In this way, the Qin Governor fell into the hands of the Governor of Jiangnan."

Qian Yulong said: "This result is not difficult to guess. I believe Zifu had expected it. The key is what they plan to do next."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Qian Yulong lowered his voice slightly: "The more complicated the conspiracy is, the more difficult it will be to implement it, because such a conspiracy must be focused on one slightest. As long as a certain link is wrong, the entire plan will be completely failed. So this time, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau The plan was not complicated. They persuaded the Governor of Jiangnan to invite the gentry from all over the city to attend a rally. Then at this rally, all the old subordinates of the Governor Qin were drawn out and all of them were caught in one go. At the same time, Qian Yulou and Daozhong Sect would also take the opportunity to deal with it. Our Qian family took action and killed two birds with one stone."

Li Xuandu's heart moved and said in surprise: "Will they execute the Qin Governor directly in Jinling Prefecture?"

"It's comfortable to talk to smart people." Qian Yulong nodded and said, "Only for such a big event, there is a reasonable reason to summon the gentry in the city. The reason is to serve as a warning to others, and at the same time, it will not make our Qian family suspicious. In this way, They saved two troubles. One was to escort the Qin Governor to Beijing. The journey was long, and the result was unpredictable. The other was that the Qian family’s powers were difficult to gather together on weekdays, and it was difficult to fight all the way in one place. "

Qian Yulong said this and couldn't help but sigh: "I said I was helping the Zi Mansion before, but now it seems that I am actually helping myself. These people not only focus on Governor Qin, but also on Qian's family. In other words, Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, Qian Yulou, Daozhongzong, and Jiangnan Governor are all birds of a feather.”

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "How did Brother Qian know this?"

Qian Yulong flicked his finger gently: "There is no airtight wall in this world. The more people involved, the more it is difficult to keep the secret. If we are willing to spend money, our Qian family may not be worse than Tingfenglou. Especially in the territory of Jinling Prefecture, our Qian family has been rooted for hundreds of years, and all the roots are hidden underground, and then spread to every corner of Jinling Prefecture. The rest of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is also the Jiangnan Governor. , At most, for more than ten years, compared to us, we are all outsiders. Zi Mansion, you might as well guess how much money did I spend on the matter of I learning that they wanted to execute the Qin Governor in Jinling Mansion? "

Li Xuan thought for a while and replied, "It should not be less than a thousand Taiping money."

"It's too much." Qian Yulong shook his head and said, "This news only cost fifty Taiping money, and then he learned it from a Qianhu, a yamen in the Nishishiya. It's a coincidence that these Qianhu are good at drinking, While drinking at home, Xingqi told his concubine about this matter, and the concubine accidentally told her younger brother about this matter. Her younger brother was ignorant and liked to play money. He bets in our Qian family The shop owed a lot of foreign debts, but he was smart and knew to use this news to exchange for money with us. The shopkeeper of the gambling house reported to me. Not only did I exempt him from all his debts, but I also rewarded him with fifty Taiping. Money, let him go to Wuzhou to hide from the limelight. Of course, if I was so cruel and killed him directly, there would be fifty peace money left, but I didn't do that. After all, I am a businessman, and businessmen pay attention to it. It's just a word 'faith'."

Qian Yulong asked again, "Please guess again, I know how much money did the Jiangnan Weaver Bureau and the Jiangnan Governor's Office spend to conspire about this?"

Li Xuandu said: "In theory, I should have guessed a little lower this time, but I still want to guess in many places, and it should have cost more than 1,500 Taiping money."

"It's less." Qian Yulong smiled and said, "This time I spent 400,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels of silver to buy a body contract of the top courtesan in Jiangzhou, and another 200,000 taels of silver to buy another. The top opera troupe in Jiangnan. I gave the courtesan to the eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau, which is the godson of Chen Fang, the supervisor of the Weaving Bureau. I didn't expect that the eunuch also likes women, and he loves them so much. I gave the opera troupe to A chief aide in the Governor's Office, who has been a rank for the Governor Jiangnan for nearly ten years, has been highly trusted and likes Kunqu Opera the most in his life. The troupe I bought was Yuan Feixue, one of the four great masters of the imperial capital at that time. The new Kunqu Opera, which was trained in five years behind closed doors, has no sense of fireworks. Now this troupe can only sing. If it were someone else, he would not be able to buy it even with money."

Qian Yulong held his five fingers, as if the whole world was in his palm, and he smiled and said, "There is no one in this world who has no desires and no desires. The key is to give his preferences. With these two things, how could they not be moved? But this The two of them were also cunning, saying half hidden and half, and they didn't tell them together, but they would never have thought that I not only found one person, but also found two people at the same time, one person and half together. After mutual confirmation, this plan will probably completely surface.”

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Money can help you understand the gods, Brother Qian is really rich."

Qian Yulong laughed at it and said, "If money is left without spending, it is a pile of dead things. Only the money spent is money."

Then the eldest son of the Qian family couldn't help but sigh: "As the saying goes, "The wall stands thousands of feet high, and there is no desire to be strong. We businessmen are not afraid of spending money. What we fear most is that we can't spend money, which is the real despair. Take this one In terms of the matter, whether it is the eunuch in charge of the Weaver Bureau or the rank of the Governor's Office, if these two people are honest and self-disciplined, then I can't kill them with money."

Li Xuan said with emotion: "I understand that conspiracy can be used, but not based on the foundation. The final conclusion is the upright open plot."
