Taiping Inn

The overall situation has been decided, which does not mean that the matter has been completed. The two most critical points are: one is how to deal with the Governor's Office and the Weaving Bureau, and the other is how to deal with the Qian Yulou. This time, the Governor's Office and the Weaving Bureau seem to be targeting Qin Xiang, but in fact they are also targeting the Qian family. If Qian Yulou is the head of the Qian family, then the Governor's Office, the Weaving Bureau, the Daozhong Sect, and the Wudao Sect will have to intervene in the money. The excuse for the family, by then, the Qian family will be completely divided up by both parties. This is something that the Qian family cannot tolerate, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Qian family will stand on Li Xuandu's side.

Li Xuandu asked, "How to deal with the aftermath?"

Qian Yulong said: "Zhao Shixian is not worth worrying. In addition to our Qian family, there is also a Sun family in Songyin Prefecture. Sun Songchan, the chief minister of the cabinet, is the elder brother of the head of the Sun family, and other families have many in court. The official, Zhao Zongxian had such a big trouble this time, and he could not be saved as the governor. In the past, the court was not good at using local officials, and the key was the hearts of the people. The court also wanted to take Zhao Zheng. The position of governor was a mutiny in the Liao army, and local gentry strongly opposed it. The court had to take back Cheng's orders and let Zhao Zheng still hold his original position. But now it is different. Local gentry does not support Zhao Zongxian, and some people in the court impeached him. How could he keep the position of governor?”

Qian Yulong paused for a moment: "The key is that Chen Fang, the supervisor of the Weaving Bureau, is a person from the palace. If you want to deal with him, the cabinet and the outer court cannot speak. You have to speak in the Sili Supervisor."

Li Xuandu said calmly: "As early as four years ago, I was already a wanted criminal in the imperial court, so I don't mind helping the Qian family."

Li Xuandu’s implication was that he would take action to remove Chen Fang.

Qian Yulong thought about it and shook his head and said, "It's better to make a long-term plan. Killing a master of the Dao Zong Sect is nothing. This is all fighting in the martial arts world. If you kill the ranks of officials and eunuchs of the court, it would be a breaking rule. . It’s not that the rules cannot be broken, but that once this example is opened, there will be many troubles. It’s better not to act like this before it is absolutely necessary.”

Li Xuan nodded to express his understanding.

At this moment, a loud bang came from the sky, and a black light quickly flew away. Then Qin Xiang hit the ground like a meteor, and his feet stepped on the ground with a huge bowl-shaped pit that was more than a foot deep.

At this time, Qin Xiang's sleeves were broken, his arms were covered with wounds of all sizes, and his face was a little pale, but judging from the results, Qin Xiang was slightly better and defeated Gutuo.

After Qin Xiang and Gutuo decided to win, the battle between the other two great masters of the Heavenly Realm was approaching the end. Han Yaoyue's voice fell from above the Nine Heavens: "Uncle Jing's unique skills, let's learn about it in the future. Fight again."

After saying that, the deputy leader of the Wangqing Sect also turned into a long rainbow to escape.

As the two great masters of the Heavenly Realm retreated one after another, the remaining evil masters also retreated, and the fallen flower platform finally returned to peace.

Qin Xiang stood with his old subordinates, the Qian family and the local gentry stood with each other, and both sides did not interfere with the river, only Li Xuan stood between the two, neither side was leaning on them.

Li Xuandu looked at Qian Yulong, and Qian Yulong understood it and called on everyone in the Qian family and all the gentry to start going down the mountain. What they have to do at this time is to return to Jinling City and stabilize the situation.

At this time, in the city of Jinling, the elder of the Qian family was personally stationed in the Qian family's ancestral home. Qian Jin'er personally led more than a thousand disciples of the Cao Gang to resist the many masters of the Dao Sect led by Qian Yulou himself.

No one expected that Qian Jiner, who seemed to be a weak woman, was also a master with good cultivation. In addition, Qian Jiner was rich and powerful, so Qian Jiner carried five treasures of different purposes. After a fierce battle between Yan Feiqing, the head of the Zhengyi Sect, there were as many as seven Taoist masters who died at Qian Jin'er's hands, including one in the Guizhen Realm, two in the Innate Realm, and four in the Xuanyuan Realm.

When the martial arts men from the Qian family's elders' hall recruited over the years also began to enter the battlefield, the disciples of the Dao Zong Sect were immediately injured, and the reinforcements from the Governor's Office were delayed, causing the situation to reverse and tilt.

On this day, a series of mutiny bombings occurred in the military camp outside Jinling Prefecture. A guerrilla general, a deputy general, and a general, openly disobeyed the general's military order, refused to send troops, and claimed that the general's military order was The two factions started to fight to the death.

Things have developed to this point and have been far from the control of the Governor's Office and the Weaving Bureau. Especially after the news came from the fallen flower platform, the Governor's Office's intention to take action against the Qian family gradually evolved into the head of the Qian family. Local gentry fought against the Governor of Jiangnan, and even the violent backlash from the gentry caused people to defect to the personal barracks of the dignified Jiangzhou general.

The internal strife lasted for a long time and ended with the overwhelming victory of the local faction in Jiangzhou. The Jiangzhou general, who was not from Jiangzhou, died in the chaos. A deputy general who was also from outside, saw the situation. Not good, he surrendered decisively, which saved his life. Another deputy general from Jiangzhou directly led his troops to the palace, surrounded the Governor's Office and stared at it covetously.

Jiangzhou has always been regarded as its own private place by many Jiangzhou gentry. They have been rooted here for hundreds of years. The children of each family hold important positions in the major yamen in Jiangnan. Therefore, the Governor of Jiangnan is the lord of Jiangnan, but in fact, it is really The many gentry of Jiangzhou led by the Qian family were able to control the direction of the situation in Jiangzhou. This time, the Governor of Jiangnan attacked the Qian family and underestimated the influence of the Qian family in Jiangzhou. If the Qian family fell, then the other gentry would be a mess and be controlled by others. Therefore, being enemies with the Qian family is equivalent to all Jiang. The state gentry is an enemy, and it is okay if this matter is done. If it fails, it will end now.

At that time, there was no position as governor in Jiangzhou, only governor. He served as governor for two years and abolished the Jiangzhou garrison and investigated the shortcomings of the various departments and offices in Jiangzhou. In the third year of Tianbao, the governor was assassinated and died the next day. The assassin did not escape and was taken down on the spot. The court issued an edict: "The investigation is urgently necessary and the officials of the Three Divisions must promptly arrest the assassins and strictly investigate the matter, so as to ensure the situation and handle the law strictly." The Jiangzhou General, together with the Three Divisions' Yamen and others, interrogated the assassins. A few days later, the river governor was sent to participate in the interrogation.

But these people used the excuse of the serious case and delaying the time, and did not punish the assassin. The excuse was: "The serious case is serious, and the punishment is requested by the prison. If Yu died without the punishment of the order, who would let the blame?" In the end, Jiangzhou General and Hedao The governor jointly submitted a report, and the case was closed by private revenge.

The court naturally disbelief and sent the imperial envoy of the Three Laws to retrial, but the case was still decided on the original conviction. Moreover, the memorial to close the case was rushing to Beijing for 400 miles. Before the imperial edict was issued, the three imperial envoys had already left Jinling Mansion, but the final result was that they each resigned and no longer served in office.

This shows that the gentry in Jiangzhou is very powerful. It is precisely because of this case that the court decided to set up a position of governor in Jiangzhou.

Now that the Governor of Jiangnan has taken action against the Qian family, he actually has the intention to suppress the local gentry in Jiangzhou. Unfortunately, he is destined to be unable to be good if he is not good at chess.

Under such circumstances, the battle situation of the Qian family's mansion was naturally unsurprising. Under Qian Jin'er's instruction, he deliberately left a way out for the disciples of the Taoist sect. These disciples of the Taoist sect are also sensible and can be counted. Escape from the city. But the Qian family members who followed Qian Yulou's rebellion had no choice but to do so, and their lives were all in Jinling City. Although they knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, Qian Jin'er still ordered them to engage in accordance with family laws, leaving no one left.

The reason why the Qian family was able to stand strong in Jiangzhou for hundreds of years without falling is not only because of their warmth, but also because of their coldness and cruelty.

In the end, Qian Jin'er did not mobilize all the troops, but came to Qian Yulou's private house in North City alone.

Qian Jin'er thought Qian Yulou would fight to the death here, but she guessed wrongly. The door of the private house was open without any guards or ambush.

Qian Jin'er walked into the house alone and met the woman who should be her niece.

Qian Yulou stood on the steps in front of the main hall, still the same as before, wearing a snow-white cloak, inside it was the extremely precious bird skirt, which was regarded as one color, the side was one color, the eyes were one color, the shadow The middle is one color.

But her outfit is a bit inconsistent with the atmosphere at this time.

Qian Jin'er stopped.

The two most outstanding women of the Qian family looked at each other calmly.
