Taiping Inn
Chapter 154 Qian Yulong
To be honest, Qian Yulong's attitude was somewhat beyond Li Xuandu's expectations.
Businessmen value profit over loyalty. Logically speaking, after Li Xuandu lost power, Qian Yulong should not be so happy even if he still had some personal friendship with him.
When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Thinking of the big ship that Li Xuandu saw before crossing the river, which seemed to be Qian Yulou's home, he had already made up his mind.
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I'm fine. I wonder if Brother Qian is fine?"
"Zi Fu, you are not sincere. I have heard some of your stories. How can you say you are fine?" Qian Yulong just said half of his words, turned his head suddenly, and glared at Liu Yushuang: "Why are you pinching me? You pinched me, and I said the same thing. As a Zi Fu person, you don't need those clichés and empty words."
It turned out that Liu Yushuang saw that Qian Yulong was talking nonsense, so she secretly pinched his waist. The original intention was to remind him to pay attention to his words, but after hearing what he said, Liu Yushuang was angry and amused, so she simply ignored him and stepped back a few steps - whatever you say.
Li Xuandu coughed lightly, without mentioning his past, and said: "Brother Qian is the same as before, not much has changed."
Qian Yulong laughed: "With money and free time, there is less suffering from running around, so it is natural to support people."
Li Xuandu said noncommittally: "The Qian family is rich, this is something everyone in the world knows, as for free time, I am afraid it is not necessarily the case."
Qian Yulong smiled and said: "For so many years, the Qian family has never relied on a family head. If all the bets are placed on the virtue of a family head, and the family head has to do everything himself, the risk is too great. After all, no one can guarantee that the family head will not make mistakes. Our Qian family ancestors have an ancestral motto: 'Using people is the first principle of doing big things.' So the power of the family head is actually the power to use people, put the right people in the right positions, and the business matters are all done by the shopkeepers below. I just need to manage these shopkeepers."
Li Xuandu's heart moved slightly.
Because Qian Yulong's words already meant to put himself in the position of the head of the family, but Li Xuandu was still unclear whether the situation was completely clear or Qian Yulong did it on purpose. Li Xuandu was more inclined to the latter. If the current situation of the Qian family was clear, why would Qian Yulou run back from the southwest? On the other hand, it was precisely because the situation of the Qian family was unclear that Qian Yulong's attitude was so abnormal.
Li Xuandu still had a smile on his face and said, "Brother Qian, although we don't know each other well, we have a general understanding of each other. I, Li, don't come to the temple for no reason, and you, Qian, are not the timely rain of the rivers and lakes, so some things might as well be said openly."
Qian Yulong's smile froze slightly, and then he waved his hand.
Except for Liu Yushuang, all the maids, including the old woman, retreated.
Li Xuandu couldn't help but glance at Liu Yushuang. It seems that this little sister-in-law has a very important weight in Qian Yulong's mind, and I'm afraid it's not much worse than his wife.
Qian Yulong said softly, "Let's talk in the study."
Li Xuandu nodded.
The study is not far from the main hall. Compared with the magnificent study in Qian Yulou's ancestral home, this small study seems a little inferior. Except for a row of small-leaf red sandalwood bookshelves against the wall, there is nothing else particularly luxurious. However, it seems more popular. It is obvious that the owner often stays here, unlike the big study, which is just a decoration.
Thinking of this, Li Xuandu couldn't help but sigh. The study with extremely gorgeous decorations was actually the same as Qian Yulong's wife, while this was just an ordinary small study, but it was like Liu Yushuang. So, some people win face but lose the inside, and some people lose face but win the inside.
Qian Yulong sat behind the desk and stretched out his hand and said, "Zifu, sit down."
Li Xuandu sat on the guest seat against the wall, and then Liu Yushuang personally served hot tea to the two of them.
Li Xuandu took the covered bowl and nodded slightly to express his gratitude. Then he heard Qian Yulong say, "Zifu is a smart man. Since Zifu has said so much, there is no point in me hiding it. But before I speak directly, I want to hear why Zifu came."
Li Xuandu said, "I wonder if Brother Qian knows Qin Xiang, the governor Qin.
Qian Yulong's eyes flashed, "I heard that it seems that the governor Qin is now settled in the Da Baoen Temple in the south city."
Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong, "The Qian family has been rooted in Jinling Prefecture for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are half the masters of Jinling. I am afraid that Brother Qian can't hide anything about the things on the ground in Jinling Prefecture. Could it be that Brother Qian really doesn't know anything?"
Qian Yulong chuckled, "Okay, I do know something. Is Zifu here for this matter? "
Li Xuandu nodded.
Qian Yulong leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "Then Zifu should also know that this matter also involves the Governor of Jiangnan and the Governor of Jingchu. There are three governors in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, from north to south: the Governor of Qizhou, the Governor of Jingchu, and the Governor of Jiangnan. Among them, the area under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Jingchu spans Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Therefore, these two governors have a heavy weight in the territory of Jiangnan. Even our Qian family is not easy to provoke them. "
Li Xuandu said: "It's not easy to provoke, not that you can't provoke, let alone dare not provoke. It can be seen that the Qian family is still not afraid of these two governors. Since Brother Qian didn't refuse, then there is room for negotiation. "
"The one who knows me is Li Zifu." Qian Yulong stretched out his hand and nodded Li Xuandu, and smiled: "If it were a peaceful year, our Qian family would never dare to be involved in such a court vortex, but now..."
He lowered his voice: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the court is about to run out of luck, and our Qian family has to make plans early. Just as our ancestors taught us, if we don't dare to gamble, how can we take it? What is a gamble? It's not about the succession of a new emperor or the fight for the throne, but about the change of dynasties and the change of the sun and the moon."
The reason why he dared to say these treasonous words to Li Xuandu was because Li Xuandu was a "treasonous" person. What Li Xuandu did in the Imperial Capital back then was even more treasonous than the few words he said now.
As expected, after hearing these words, Li Xuandu was not surprised at all, but smiled and said: "It can be seen that Brother Qian and I are of the same mind."
Qian Yulong stood up, stroked a white jade paperweight on the table, and said slowly: "I am not a man of the world, nor a temple. I am a businessman. Merchants do business, so I also want to ask Zifu to do me a favor."
Li Xuandu asked: "What favor?"
Qian Yulong smiled slightly, showing his white teeth: "Help me take down Qian Yulou."
Li Xuandu frowned: "With your means, can't you take her down? "
Qian Yulong sighed: "If it was just Qian Yulou, there would be nothing that could not be taken. The key is that Qian Yulou has made friends with many people from the five sects in the northwest in the past few years in the southwest. If it was just a simple relationship, it would be fine, but she did not hesitate to let the wolf into the house, and also relied on these people to ascend to the position of the head of the Qian family, just like the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, who did everything for power. "
Li Xuandu frowned and said: "Why don't you directly raise this matter with the elders of the clan?"
Qian Yulong shook his head and said: "I have no real evidence. "
Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong and remained silent.
Qian Yulong continued, "So I want Brother Qing Zifu to help me take down Qian Yulou, instead of killing her directly. As the saying goes, catch the thief and take the stolen goods. As long as I catch her handle, I will naturally find a way to convince those old guys."
Li Xuandu asked, "If I help you do this, can you help me rescue Governor Qin?"
Qian Yulong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. If it were somewhere else, I would never dare to boast like this, but in the territory of Jinling Prefecture, there is nothing that our Qian family wants to do but can't do. After all, it's not easy for me to use the manpower and material resources of my family to deal with Qian Yulou, a member of my family, but it's no problem to use them to help Zifu. This is called taking what you need."
Li Xuandu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Qian Yulong didn't urge him, and continued to play with the white jade paperweight in his hand, waiting for Li Xuandu's reply.
After about an incense stick of time, Li Xuandu raised his head and asked, "Brother Qian, what do you need me to do?"
Qian Yulong said, "Yu Niang, you have always been responsible for this matter, so you should talk to Zifu."
Liu Yushuang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, "Mr. Li is a righteous man, so he should know about the Daozhong Sect among the five sects in the northwest, right?"
