Qiniang has been living in Wutong Courtyard recently, living a leisurely and boring life, just like many old ladies who live in their old age. In order to pass the time, most of these old ladies believe in Buddhism, and generally believe more in Buddhism. It can not only provide spiritual sustenance, but also kill time.
It's just that Qiniang doesn't believe this. If she is asked to count Buddhist beads, recite Buddhist scriptures, and chant words to a clay puppet, she might as well kill her. Even if it were Dao Ancestor, it wouldn't work.
Qiniang's way of passing the time was to smoke. The more she smoked, the more violent she became. The house was filled with smoke, like a fairyland. When I opened the window, I thought there was a fire.
Li Qingnu really didn't like this kind of "firework", but it didn't matter what she said. Qi Xuansu couldn't help Qiniang, but was played by Qiniang in the middle of the applause. She couldn't do anything anymore and could only be filial. daughter.
Qiniang is like the head of the family.
Li Qingnu occasionally thinks about it, and doesn't know who is older between her and Qi Xuansu. If she is older, then she will have to wait and see when the famous sibling comes through. That person is not easy to talk to. She is powerful, so she may not be afraid of Qiniang. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight in the ring every day, she will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Besides, the person caught in the middle and receiving the blame will be Qi Xuansu, not her. At that time, she happened to see Qi Xuansu's joke. Although your boy is so complacent now, he will no longer be a human being inside and outside sooner or later. She doesn't believe that Qi Xuansu can control these two great gods.
To be honest, she was usually served by others, but now she was really not used to serving others. All in all, anyone who loves to serve should be served, and she doesn’t want to serve her anymore. They say raising children to provide for old age, and what about the water thrown out by the married daughter. Although Qiniang treats her very well, Qiniang gives her the best things. Since you have Qi Xuansu as your biological son, you should let your eldest son take care of him.
Brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention they are not relatives. Since ancient times, we have not worried about scarcity but about inequality. She didn't hate Qi Xuansu, but she felt a little aggrieved every time she thought about it.
It's just that I never dare to say these words, not because I'm afraid of making Qiniang sad and angry. Qiniang is very generous, even to the point of being heartless. She will never get angry because of such things, nor will she Hold a grudge. Instead, Qiniang will lie to Qiniang. Qiniang will use this as an excuse to pretend to be sad and force her to use her private room to compensate. To put it bluntly, it means losing money. Last time, Qiniang cheated her out of a set of collector's edition "Xuansheng Cards" . This matter won't be over until Qiniang peels off a layer of skin.
On this day, Qiniang put away her cigarette rod and sat behind her desk to handle the accounts. There are those from Qibaofang, those from Qingpinghui, and some scattered small businesses. Qiniang has always done everything herself in this kind of matter, and she does not rely on others' hands. Qiniang is, after all, a pseudo-immortal, with boundless energy and "magic calculations". No matter how complicated the accounts are, she can handle them all.
Not long after, Li Qingnu walked in, came to the desk, and said softly: "Qiniang, the soul search has yielded results."
Qiniang put down the pen in her hand, looked up at Li Qingnu, and asked, "How do you say it?"
Li Qingnu handed a compiled file to Qiniang and said at the same time: "What a coincidence, it was a person named Li Mingxing who instigated her. However, although this Li Mingxing was from the Li family, he did not do this this time. It was a private matter, so the senior management of the Li family didn't know about it. I sent someone to check Li Mingxing's dealings and found that he was probably just a middleman, helping to bridge the gap between the two parties."
Qiniang opened the file: "There is someone else behind the scenes."
"Yes." Li Qingnu said, "I followed Li Mingxing's line and found that he has a good relationship with the "Tianting" side. It makes sense that you should know the relationship between "Tianting" and the Li family. Thanks to my Li family status, I have some connections with "Tian Ting". I contacted several acquaintances of "Tian Ting" and then checked further, and found that "Tian Ting" is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but also a middleman. , and finally found the Nanyang side. The rest of the story is unclear, and it probably involves a complicated debt of gratitude. "
Nanyang is not the same as the South China Sea. It mainly refers to the Borneo and Borneo areas. Compared with the Central Plains, the power of the Taoist sect is relatively weak, and the "Tianting" has been active here.
Qiniang sneered: "It's impossible for the natives of Nanyang to hear that there is a rising star in Taoism, and then they want to attack this rising star and ruin his future."
Li Qingnu's heart moved and he tried: "Qiniang's
It means...Borneo Taofu or Lingnan Taofu? "
Qiniang said: "No need to guess, it must be the Borneo Taoist Mansion."
Li Qingnu said in surprise: "How could Tianyuan be related to the Borneo Taoist Office? Let alone Nanyang, he has never even been to Lingnan. Moreover, the Borneo Taoist Office is closely related to Quanzhen Taoism. Could it be that they are within Quanzhen Taoism?" fight?"
People often say that Quanzhen Taoism is just a small Taoist sect. They have learned the sect's strengths and weaknesses indistinguishably, and internal fighting is no exception. Li Qingnu's guess cannot be regarded as groundless.
Qiniang put down the file: "A few days ago, Pei Xuanzhi told me that when Tianyuan went to Ziweitang to report on his work, he had a small conflict with someone from the Wang family. On the surface, Tianyuan suffered a small loss, but Pei Xuanzhi let people He punished the boy from the Wang family severely, and the Wang family was in the wrong. Although they were disgraced, they didn't say anything. Afterwards, Pei Xuanzhi compensated Tianyuan with a piece of "Youyi Cloud Clothes". After all, Tianyuan took advantage. I There was no need to worry too much. Now it seems that the Wang family has been planning for a long time. They feel that they are a big figure by opening a mountain in Borneo. They really regard themselves as the boss of Borneo. "
Qiniang has been around the world for a long time, and her speech is not as formal as Donghua's real person. Everyone is half-literate and half-white, while she is half-black and half-white, often mixed with a lot of slang.
Fortunately, Li Qingnu also often came into contact with the three religions and nine schools, so it was not a problem to understand him. He said: "If it is really the Wang family, then they are really jealous and dare not come forward directly. They used their connections to make a big circle and let the Li family and " "Tian Ting" was the middleman, even if it was exposed, it would still be the Li family trying to embarrass Tian Yuan. Anyway, the Li family has offended a lot of people, so they don’t have to worry about having too many debts, and they don’t have to worry about having too many lice. If Tianyuan fights back and fights with the Li family, they can hide and watch the show. "
Qiniang snorted: "That's all they have to do, to be alone overseas, far away from Yujing. The local emperor is used to it, and it is inevitable that he will be short-sighted. I heard that the Wang family was at fault in this matter, and they still want to argue unreasonably. Three points, show off your prestige, isn’t it just to see a man who doesn’t have the backbone of our family bullying our orphans and widowed mothers?”
Seeing Qiniang's words getting more and more outrageous, Li Qingnu couldn't help but cough a few times, and cursed in his heart. He has never seen an orphan and a widowed mother like you, bargaining with Master Cihang, and banging the table with Master Donghua. The orphan is true, and the widowed mother is too. It's true, but the orphan of a third-grade deputy hall master and the widowed mother of a pseudo-immortal have nothing to do with the word "weak". But she also understands that Qiniang habitually occupies the moral high ground before she can exert herself.
Regarding the affairs of the Wang family, Li Qingnu did not know the details. For example, Donghua Zhenren had compensated Qi Xuansu, but he had also heard some rumors. He whispered: "I heard that the cause was jealousy. It seems that Wang Dan, the son of the Wang family, Qing admires my future brother-in-law, so that’s why he got into trouble with Tianyuan, but he has no ability, and he’s in a big mess.”
Qiniang said dissatisfiedly: "What younger siblings? You haven't even figured out your horoscope yet."
Li Qingnu smiled and said, "I've seen the Celestial Master, and I've been to Dazhen Mansion twice, and you've even met Master Cihang in person. How can you say that you haven't even scratched your head yet? Let me tell you, it should be a sure thing." right."
Qiniang hummed softly: "That's all if you don't say it. I'll get angry when you say it. Su Yuanyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is very good at calculating. She wants me, Yao Qi, to make her a wedding dress. That's just a dream." You see, there will still be fights in the future. Also, that girl from the Zhang family is not a good person. Tianyuan has been under her influence recently and has not been very obedient."
Li Qingnu smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Zhang family girl is second best. The main reason is that Tianyuan's wings have become stiff and she wants to leave the protection of my mother's wings and fly high."
Qiniang waved her hand and stopped continuing the topic, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the Wang family. In fact, it's not that simple. Calculated according to time, Tianyuan went to see the Tianshi after leaving Ziweitang. At that time, the Tianshi The matter has been suppressed, and this woman falsely accused Tianyuan before Tianyuan had a conflict with Wang Danqing. It should be the Wang family's planning first, and the head-on conflict with Tianyuan later. It is definitely not a temporary move. What do you think? "
Li Qingnu immediately understood that this was Qiniang testing herself in school. She put away her smile and said seriously: "According to the law, soul searches obtained without Taoist permission cannot be used as evidence, and the clues were broken when they reached Nanyang. The mastermind behind the scenes It is just our speculation that it is the Wang family. It can be said that we have no real evidence, so this matter cannot be taken into account.
On the stage, one can only "return the favor" in private. "
Qiniang nodded in approval: "Keep talking."
Li Qingnu continued: "The Wang family wants to use the Li family as a cover, so let's kill someone with a borrowed knife. Let the Li family know about this and reveal Quanzhen Taoism's intention to retaliate against the Li family. Under normal circumstances, Maybe nothing will happen to the Li family, but it's different now. Li Changge is under investigation because of Zhang Kuquan's suicide case. It can be said that Li Changge was pinched by Yao Pei. If Quanzhen Tao wants to take revenge, it must start with Li Changge. , this is unacceptable to the Li family, and the war in Fenglinzhou is currently in full swing. The Li family’s top priority is to ensure the victory of the Fenglinzhou war. Everything else is secondary. Instead, they must strive for unity, so the Li family will definitely take the initiative to Let’s get to the bottom of this matter and resolve the misunderstanding.”
"Once the Li family finds out the Wang family who is hiding behind the scenes, they will never let the Wang family escape. There is no such good thing in the world. If the Wang family is let go this time, there will be more bad things like this in the future, so we must We have to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. The Quanzhen Taoist side will not help the Wang family. After all, it is the Wang family that engages in internal fighting against their own people, which has a bad influence."
Qiniang nodded and said: "Very good, let's do it like this. I will be responsible for Quanzhen Taoism and Yao Pei's side. As for ventilating the Li family, it will be up to you. Be careful not to leave any traces, so that people will think they know it accidentally. In this matter, don’t expose yourself.”
Li Qingnu nodded in agreement.
