Chapter 27 Minutes of Meeting

Ma Jinguo suddenly raised his head and stared at the account books and Taiping Bank vouchers in Qi Xuansu's hands, as if he was trying to distinguish the true from the false.

Qi Xuansu leaned back on the chair with a relaxed expression: "Why, do you still want to see the specific content? I can't believe that all these years of thoughts suddenly appeared in front of me?"

Ma Jinguo said nothing.

Qi Xuansu said: "Forget it, I will grant your wish."

Then Qi Xuansu handed the certificate to the spiritual officer beside him and asked him to bring it to Ma Jinguo.

These vouchers are different from ordinary official tickets. Official tickets are essentially anonymous time deposit certificates. They can be deposited and withdrawn in lump sums. The maximum denomination is 10,000 Taiping coins. When Qiniang bought a house for Qi Xuansu, she spent 100,000 Taiping coins. Forty-five official tickets worth 10,000 Taiping coins.

The account left by Fang Linhou was frequently debited and could be deposited in small amounts or withdrawn in lump sum. The turnover amount ranged from hundreds of thousands of Taiping money to hundreds of thousands of Taiping money. It is still lying on the account to this day. With hundreds of thousands of peace money, the voucher is very exquisitely made, almost like a talisman. It can prevent counterfeiting, is also difficult to be damaged, is invulnerable to swords, and is invulnerable to water and fire. Not to mention that Ma Jinguo was shackled at this time, even if he was free, he might not be able to destroy this certificate. .

The spiritual officer held up the certificate in front of Ma Jinguo's eyes so that he could see it clearly.

The more Ma Jinguo looked, the more cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Do you see clearly?"

"Look, see clearly." Ma Jinguo's speech was a little unclear.

The Lingguan handed the certificate back to Qi Xuansu's hand.

Qi Xuansu said: "Let me ask you, who killed Liu Shiying back then?"

Ma Jinguo was startled, but he still refused to give up before reaching Changhe. He gritted his teeth and said, "I guess... it was probably Fang Linhou who killed him in order to get away with it. I am not from the Taoist government and I don't know the details."

Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, you are not from the Taoist government, you are from the imperial court and the deputy general of Jinling. You should be familiar with Qingluan Guard, right?"

Ma Jinguo could not deny it and could only say: "We are both members of the imperial court, so we naturally have some contact with each other."

Qi Xuansu said: "Since you are familiar with Qingluan Guard, you must also be familiar with the Inn."

Ma Jinguo's expression changed.

Qi Xuansu thickened his voice: "Reply."

Ma Jinguo gritted his teeth and said, "I have no connection with secret societies."

Qi Xuansu said: "Whether there is an intersection or not, it doesn't matter what you say."

After that, Qi Xuansu asked the Lingguan to take Ma Jinguo to the darkroom nearby. The people in the darkroom could see what was going on in the interrogation room, but the people in the interrogation room did not know what was going on in the darkroom.

There is only one chair in the darkroom.

Two spiritual officers, one on the left and one on the right, put their hands on Ma Jinguo's shoulders and pressed him firmly on the chair, unable to move. At the same time, the formation was activated, and no sound could be heard in the dark room.

Qi Xuansu ordered: "Bring people in."

Soon, another person was escorted in by the spiritual officer.

When Ma Jinguo saw this person, his expression suddenly changed.

Because this person is General Long under his command, and he is also involved in this case. Long Shenjiang was the first to be arrested, but he and Ma Jinguo had been detained separately, so Ma Jinguo did not know about it. It was not until this time that Ma Jinguo knew that Long Shenjiang had also been arrested.

General Long Shen was not shackled, but he had a different style. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down directly to Qi Xuansu and kowtowed: "I'd like to pay my respects to Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.

Two spiritual officers lifted him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and placed him on the interrogation chair. Then they pressed two iron hands on his shoulders to prevent him from moving.

Only then did Qi Xuansu speak: "I don't want you to kneel down and bow down. I just hope you can answer truthfully."

General Long Shen looked at Qi Xuansu and said, "I will answer truthfully."

Qi Xuansu, however, did not rush to ask questions, but instead chatted as usual: "General Long Shen, are you okay at home?"

Long Shenjiang was startled, and then followed Qi Xuansu's words and replied: "Thanks to Master Lao Qi's concern, everything is fine in this little man's family."

Qi Xuansu opened a file: "You are so lucky to have three children."

General Long Shen's expression changed a little: "I don't quite understand, what do you mean by Master Qi's words?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Fang Linhou is dead, where is his family? It seems that they have been silent since then. No one pays attention to them, so they are forgotten. They don't know whether they are dead or alive. Do you think the grass on the grave has already been cut? Is it too high? Or is there no burial place, not even a grave? "

Long Shenjiang's face was as white as snow.

Qi Xuansu said: "Jiangnan is rich and a troubled place. Two major cases in Jiangnan were left unsolved, and the poison is still unsolved. I believe that General Long Shen is often unable to control himself, but General Long Shen will definitely If you want to understand, what is more important than your family's wealth and your family's safety?"

Although General Long Shen is a man in black, he is not very courageous. He is what Qiniang calls a typical middle-aged man. He is older and younger. His position is neither high nor low. He cannot be as reckless as the upper class. The powerful can forcefully take the bottom, but they cannot ignore losses like the lower class. The lower class has nothing to lose, so it is inevitable that they will be timid.

Qi Xuansu continued to attack the heart: "I have deployed people to secretly protect your family. Anyone who wants to hold them hostage and force you to surrender will fall into our hands. So, you don't have to worry about the safety of your family. Before you answer my questions truthfully, I hope you can think carefully about whether it is worth hiding it for them. Fang Linhou took all the blame, but what was the result? You are just an accomplice in this case, and you didn't get much money. Is it worth it to gamble your life for such a small amount of money?"

Long Lieutenant General looked at Qi Xuansu: "I hope Master Qi can give me Point out a clear way. "

"Long Lieutenant General." Qi Xuansu's voice really meant that the road ahead was long. "Except death, nothing is a big deal. As long as you save your life, everything else is easy. Sometimes, when you are on the same boat, the wind and waves rise. No one can escape who falls into the water first or later. But people always have a fluke mentality, so they are afraid that you are already in the water, and there are still people standing on the boat. They will not help you, but will push all the charges on your head and push you into the water to make the boat lighter so that they can pass. "..

How could Long Lieutenant General not understand the meaning of Qi Xuansu's words.

Qi Xuansu said: "As long as you explain the matter clearly, it means that you have made great contributions, and I can speak for you and reduce the punishment. As for how I am, Qi, you should have heard about it. How Wang Jiaoying treated me, his son did not disappear out of thin air, and is still studying in Wanxiang Dao Palace. "

Qi Xuansu has always believed that a man cannot stand without faith, so he will try his best to fulfill his promises, not for pedantry, but for long-term credibility considerations. His credibility was excellent, so the weight of his promise was very high. If he went back on his word and didn't care about his credibility, then Admiral Long would not believe him, or at least would be half-believing.

Admiral Long had to believe Qi Xuansu at this time, and said, "I am willing to tell the truth."

Qi Xuansu signaled the Taoist priest in charge of recording to record it.

At this time, Ma Jinguo, who was in the dark room, saw this scene and knew that if Admiral Long really confessed, it might not involve Li Tianlan, but it would definitely involve his immediate superior, so he wanted to make some noise to attract the attention of Admiral Long outside, but the two iron hands of the two spiritual officials pressed firmly on his shoulders, making him unable to move at all, not to mention that there was a soundproof formation here, so even if he made a little noise, the outsiders could not hear it.

Admiral Long outside had already begun to confess. ..

For things like smuggling, the big guys above could not do it themselves, they just acted as a big umbrella to cover this business so that it could not see the sun, and there were other people who did the specific work under the umbrella.

Long Can-jiang is the one who actually does it, so he knows many details, even more detailed than Ma Jinguo.

Some people may wonder why Ma Jinguo is still a deputy. This is certainly because the evidence Qi Xuansu has only involves these people, and there is another reason. Most people who can move up will cherish their feathers and will not get involved in this kind of "business". For people in high positions, no matter how much Taiping money they save, it is just floating wealth, and power is the foundation.

Qi Xuansu is a good example. Does Qi Xuansu like Taiping money? Of course he likes it. He is not a saint, why not? Moreover, he is from a poor family. It is no exaggeration to say that when he was most embarrassed, he had to split a Taiping money into two halves to spend, and he had to calculate a Ruyi money.

Now that Qi Xuansu has become rich, he has not made money. It can be said that he is very honest. The reasons are very complicated. There are reasons for the support of Qi Niang and Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu's own conscience, and Qi Xuansu cherishes his feathers for his future prospects.

Qi Xuansu can understand the truth, Zhang Jucheng, Qi Jiaozheng can also understand it, they will not participate in such things, if they want to make money, they will also use reasonable methods such as investing in Nanyang United Trading Company, rather than direct smuggling.

Only those who have reached the end of the road will be so unscrupulous, anyway, they can't go any further, so they make money in various ways, and because they can't go any further, they don't have enough power to support them to "reasonably" obtain wealth like Zhang Jucheng and Qi Jiaozheng, so they can only settle for the second best.

As for Li Tianlan, it is true that he is a member of the Li family, but the Li family also eats from a separate pot. Qingwei Zhenren will only leave the family property to Li Zhuyu, not to Li Tianlan. The family assets of the national master will mostly be handed over to Li Changge. Li Tianlan and others want Taiping money, they have to rely on themselves.

In this regard, Zhang Yuelu is an excellent example. She is also a member of the Zhang family, but Zhang Jucheng at that time would not give her money. Before obtaining the official recognition of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Yuelu's life was only slightly better than Qi Xuansu.

Admiral Long has a good memory, and he can clearly describe what happened and when.

Ma Jinguo closed his eyes in despair.

Following the clues, no one can escape from the same rope.
