"It is correct to say that it was Yuan Long who did it, but these were not the sect's ideas, but Fengtai's." Piao Xiang said calmly.
"Isn't Fengtai the same as Yuanlong? Is there any difference?" Zi Yan became curious. This was the first time she had heard of this statement.
"The controller of Fengtai is Luoyin. Princess Luoyin is a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Her identity is the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Her ideas are different from those of the clan. Now, the clan has nothing to do with her. The clan's order , she won’t listen." Piao Xiang said.
"Interesting, your Yuanlong organization has actually split into two halves. So, your forces in Sixiang City have also split into two halves?" Zi Yan said.
"Yes, there are already two sets. I am in charge here, and the person who has something to do with Luoyin over there is Aunt Xia. Aunt Xia is very bloodthirsty and likes to eat the heart raw. Not only me, but also the clan leader I am extremely unhappy with her, and now, she has already taken refuge in Luoyin." Piao Xiang nodded and admitted frankly.
"As the person in charge of Yuanlong, you are very sincere and interesting. Let's talk about your goals in Sixiang City? Let's see if there is any chance for us to cooperate?" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.
What she made was also an extremely bold move, and she actually wanted to cooperate with Yuan Long. If she said this, who would dare to believe it?
However, she believed that Yang Ruoqing had the courage. As long as she explained clearly the cause and effect, she would definitely get Yang Ruoqing's consent.
"You dare to cooperate with our Yuanlong?" Piaoxiang was a little surprised.
"I didn't say we would definitely cooperate. I still want to see what you, Yuanlong, want."
"Yuanlong only wants one thing, and that is to make money." Piao Xiang said.
"Oh? Is Yuan Long doing it to make money? That's strange. If you think this way, you can cooperate. My wife is Yang Ruoqing. Your favorite thing is to make money. I think we have the possibility of cooperation."
Zi Yan paused and said: "For example, in Sixiang City, Madam is planning to establish a textile branch factory, which requires a large number of manpower, caravans to sell fabrics, and tailors to design new clothes. It is estimated that millions or even thousands of dollars can be earned from this. Profits of more than 10,000 yuan.”
"Manpower, we Yuanlong have it. Most of the brothels and wine shops in Sixiang City, as well as the carriage shops, many of them are Yuanlong's properties." Piaoxiang thought for a while.
"Now I need to do something. If you, Yuanlong, are willing to cooperate with me, initial trust will be established." Zi Yan said.
"What's up?"
"The Dharma Discussion Conference convenes Taoist priests and monks from around Sixiang City to discuss the Dharma respectively. Among them, the meditation meeting and the Tao Dharma meeting are held separately. All participants will receive money," Zi Yan said.
Piao Xiang couldn't understand: "Zen meditation meeting, Taoist Dharma meeting? Why is this?"
"I have my own reasons, are you willing to help?" Zi Yan said.
"Yes, we, Yuanlong, can contact people in the Buddhist and Taoist sects. We can pass on information even to the most secret places in Sixiang City, and basically we can do everything without omissions."
A thought came to Piao Xiang's mind. She didn't have to worry about what Zi Yan wanted to do. Anyway, holding a Zen meditation meeting and a Taoist Dharma meeting would not harm Yuanlong.
"I have to write to the sect for this matter and get permission." Piao Xiang said.
"Okay, let's talk about it here. If you have any news, come to Zuiqingfeng Winery and look for Wanyi Mountain." Zi Yan closed her eyes.
"Sir, I will leave first. If Deacon Bao has any news, I will come again." Piao Xiang's expression changed, and she returned to her gentle maid appearance. She lowered her head and exited slowly.
…
At this time, deep in the Ji family's dungeon.
A man looked up at the skylight at the top of the wall. A faint light came in, giving his cold body a touch of warmth.
His name is Ji Lianfeng, and he has been detained for several months.
A year ago, he did something, which was to steal about three thousand taels of silver from the Ji family's treasury.
After Ji's family caught him, they tortured him so much that he couldn't tell where he had gone.
However, since he was arrested, he has never thought about the day he would go out.
"Kaka..."
At this moment, two crisp sounds came from outside, much like the sound of a door lock opening.
However, he did not move. He had heard this kind of sound many times during this period. Unfortunately, those sounds were all hallucinations and not real.
Naturally there will be no exception this time.
"Brother Feng, I'm here to pick you up."
In the blink of an eye, the stone door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and a tall man strode in.
Ji Lianfeng took a closer look and became anxious.
"You, why are you here? Brother, please leave quickly, it's dangerous here." Ji Lianfeng's speech was a little slurred. His mouth had been tortured and most of his teeth had fallen out.
"Brother Feng, you have suffered a lot. This time we brothers will endure it all!" Ji Lianqi's eyes couldn't help but moisten when he saw Ji Lianfeng's scarred appearance.
Ji Lianfeng suffered this crime for him.
Because those few thousand taels of silver were in his hands.
And he used the money to bribe the steward, and eventually became the deputy commander of the guard. This was also an important reason why he finally agreed to surrender to Zi Yan and rebelled against Ji Lianyin.
The opportunity he had been waiting for had appeared, and he would not give it up.
This time, he successfully became the head of the Ji family and learned that Ji Lianfeng was not dead and was still imprisoned in the dungeon. He was overjoyed. This is a real good brother.
Ji Lianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Brother, are you really... surviving?"
"Really, how could eldest brother lie to you?"
"Okay, great, brother, I want to eat roast chicken!"
Ji Lianfeng laughed loudly, his vision went dark, and he threw his head back and fell to the ground.
His spirit that had persisted for so long relaxed, and naturally his body couldn't control himself and fell down.
"Big brother will take you out to eat chicken, brother!"
Ji Lianqi wiped his eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his eyes became firm again.
The people he brought quickly took Ji Lianfeng away.
Ji Lianqi asked Ji Hongbao to find the old man who could manage the Ji family and many people in key positions, and then informed Zi Yan to prepare for a meeting in the conference hall to discuss where the Ji family would go in the future.
At present, the funeral of the old head of the Ji family still needs to be dealt with.
Ji Qingyu, the old head of the family, Ji Lianqi was not prepared to erase his achievements. He was going to bury him as the head of the family, and he would also dress up as a legal heir, not a rebel.
This is very important to stabilize the Ji family as quickly as possible and prevent the entire Ji family from falling into an atmosphere of division and panic.
In the meeting hall, Ji Lianqi sat at the head of the table, while Zi Yan sat in the guest seat.
Zi Yan also held the position of the Ji family, that is, guest minister, and her status was of course extremely high.
