Chapter 269 slander
In the Tianxian Mountains, a black eagle keeps hovering in the sky and chirps endlessly.
With a whistle, Black Eagle plunged into the deep forest, stopped on a man's shoulder, opened its mouth, and spit out a piece of paper.
The man stroked its head, and the black eagle flapped its wings.
…………
Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room when a knock on the door came from outside.
"Come in."
Kong Ji pushed open the door and walked in, holding a file in his hand. Uncle Tang said: "This is urgent information sent from Senior Zheng."
Tang Ning took the file and opened it and took a look at it. What was reported on it was the progress of the rebellion against Zhu Maoqing.
Tang Ning has now officially taken over as the director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station and has fully taken over the affairs of the intelligence station. Du Yuankai returned to the sect half a year ago.
The first thing he has to do after taking office is to make progress with the Zhu family, which is related to the future spiritual stone subsidy of the intelligence station, and is a top priority for the intelligence station.
He learned basic information about the two hundred children of the Zhu family through the Intelligence Department, screened them one by one, and selected Zhu Maoqing as the target of rebellion.
Zhu Maoqing was born in a humble family. His father was named Zhu Xuan and his mother was a maid. Zhu Xuan favored her after drinking and gave birth to Zhu Maoqing.
Zhu Xuan's own cultivation level is not high, he is only at the eighth level of Qi refining, and Zhu Maoqing is a commoner, so his status in the Zhu family can be imagined.
He also has a half-brother named Zhu Maohua. Unlike Zhu Maoqing, Zhu Maohua is highly regarded by the Zhu family and has high spiritual qualifications.
Zhu Maoqing's biological mother was a mortal. She was favored by Zhu Xuan while drunk and gave birth to Zhu Maoqing. Her appearance gradually declined. Zhu Xuan had no intention of having anything to do with her. He was just drunk and having sex. Naturally, there was no emotion at all. She died of depression within a few years.
Zhu Maoqing was raised by Zhu Xuan's wife since he was a child. She was quite harsh on him and had little discipline. Zhu Xuan also did not care about him much. Zhu Maoqing's status in the family seemed to be that of a young master, but in fact he was only a little higher than a servant.
It wasn't until he successfully transformed from mortal life and entered the ranks of monks that the situation improved, but he was still inferior to other monks in the Zhu family.
Zhu Maoqing Linggen has average qualifications, is greedy for money and lust, and has a bad reputation. In addition, he is from a humble background, so he is quite marginalized in the Zhu family and is assigned to be the steward of Tianjiao Pavilion.
Tianjiao Pavilion is a place specifically for monks to have fun. They train female monks to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from an early age, and teach them the secrets of acacia in the room.
The Zhu family has six or seven pavilions like Tianjiao Pavilion in the Central Plains, and Zhu Maoqing is just an ordinary steward among them.
Long before Du Yuankai returned to the sect, Tang Ning began to implement this rebellion plan. He sent Wei Yan, a disciple from the intelligence station, to Dongmu County to befriend Zhu Maoqing.
Zhu Maoqing was greedy for money, lustful, and fond of gambling. Tang Ning gave Wei Yan a spiritual stone to get close to Zhu Maoqing. The two met "accidentally" during a gambling scene. Wei Yan humbled him and soon became brothers with him.
Good intentions are secret.
Zhu Maoqing may have been ostracized by the Zhu family for a long time and was depressed. However, he was treated warmly by Wei Yan and accepted him as a close friend. Within a year, the two of them had almost talked about everything.
Zhu Maoqing only has the fifth level of Qi refining, and his status in the Zhu family is low and not taken seriously. Even if this person succeeds in instigating rebellion, it will be of no use. With his status and cultivation level, it is impossible for him to know the core secrets of the Zhu family. The reason why Tang Ning spends so much energy
He was just trying to instigate rebellion to give the sect an explanation.
After all, he is a descendant of the Zhu family and can be regarded as an insider of the Zhu family. This fish must be enough to loosen Lu Xingxian's mouth and prevent him from causing trouble for him and blocking him with inexplicable reasons on the issue of spiritual stone subsidies.
"Okay! Wei Yan has completely gained Zhu Maoqing's trust and can take the next step." Tang Ning said with a smile.
"Please give me your instructions, Uncle Master."
Tang Ning thought for a while: "What kind of person is this Zhu Yanran?"
Kong Jidao: "This person is mean, untrustworthy, cruel and domineering. Among the seven attics of the Zhu family, Tianjiao Pavilion has the strictest discipline. Countless women have died in her hands. However, he is quite famous among the younger disciples of the Zhu family, and Tianjiao is under her management."
The income is the highest, so Uncle Zhu's family is highly regarded."
"We might as well try something on this Zhu Yanran so that he can get stuck in the mud and be unable to extricate himself."
Kong Jidao: "I will send a message to Hao Zhao right now, asking Wei Yan to drive a wedge between him and Zhu Yanran, and deepen the hatred between the two."
"Zhu Maoqing is greedy for money, lustful, and as timid as a mouse. It's useless to just provoke conflicts. Someone has to push him and put him in a certain death position before he can be used by us. I'll handle this matter myself.
!”
"So, what's going on at the station?"
"You and Ren An help Daoist Xu deal with it!"
"yes."
…………
In the Tianjiao Pavilion, two men escorted a woman who was as beautiful as a flower and covered with scars into a house: "Sister Yanran, we are here."
Zhu Yanran stood up and walked to the woman, caressing the green hair on her forehead: "Xiaoyu, I am not kind to you! I teach you how to practice, help you transform, and provide you with spiritual stones and pills. Why do you still think about it?
Defection!"
"Sister Yanran, I'm wronged! Someone else must have framed me." the woman shouted.
Zhu Yanran turned over her hand and took out a sachet: "Oh? Didn't you give this thing away?"
The woman's face was ashen, her lips were trembling constantly, her head was lowered and she said nothing.
"Take him down and give him a capital punishment while others watch. This is the consequences of disobeying and defecting."
"Yes." The two men responded, dragging the woman outside.
"Sister Yanran, please spare me! I don't dare to do it anymore, please spare me!" The woman kept wailing.
Zhu Yanran ignored it and continued to deal with the account books at hand until late at night. She walked out of the room and said to the woman guarding outside the house: "I will go see Uncle Six and hand over the account books to him. You can watch what happens in the cabinet."
.”
"Okay, Sister Yanran."
Zhu Yanran left the attic and headed west with her flying sword.
Less than half an hour later, a ray of light came from behind and chased her directly. Soon it was beside her. The light around her dissipated, revealing a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat.
Come in shape.
There was a hint of something bad in Zhu Yanran's heart, and she was about to ask a question. Suddenly she felt the majestic spiritual power all over her body squeezing towards her. Her expression changed drastically, and she frantically used her spiritual power to resist the invasion of this sea-like spiritual power.
He shouted loudly: "Who is the senior? This junior is Zhu Yanran of the Zhu family."
Before she finished speaking, the spiritual energy around her became more surging, pressing towards him like a giant mountain. Zhu Yanran felt her eyes darken and fainted.
The man's spiritual power wrapped around her body and turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
……………
In the splendid room, Zhu Maoqing and Wei Yan exchanged cups and drank happily.
"Brother Zhu, this is the spiritual wine I bought at Wangxichuan Loft when I went to Qinchuan last time. You and I will not come home until we are drunk today." Wei Yan raised his wine glass and said.
"Okay, okay, okay. It's really a good wine! To be honest, brother Wei, I have always only heard about the beauty of Wangxichuan Spiritual Wine. Today, thanks to my brother, I finally got a taste of it." Zhu Maoqing said, the two of them said.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Wei Yan said: "Brother Zhu knows that Brother Yu has been very lucky recently and has won a lot of spiritual stones. He originally wanted to invite Brother Zhu to visit Wangxichuan and taste the spirit wine furnace, but I think my brother's family is busy with affairs, so that's all.
With this idea in mind, I asked someone to buy these jars of spiritual wine from Qinchuan, so that I could get drunk with my brother and then rest."
"Thank you, Brother Wei, now! You are the only one who still remembers Brother Yu, and you still remember me for all the good things."
"Brother Zhu is the proud son of the Zhu family, and there is no way for others to get to know him! By the way, last time I heard from Taoist friend Zhu Yanran at Tianjiao Pavilion, Brother Zhu no longer holds the position of steward. I wonder where your government has arranged for Brother Zhu to go now.
Taking office?"
Zhu Maoqing sighed: "Now I am wandering around at home, and the clan has not arranged any errands for me."
"Brother Zhu's family is not bad in your mansion. There are four monks in each sect. Your brother works in Gufang City, Tiannan and is very important. Why not ask him to find a good job for you. It is better than such idle wealth.
At home, we are short of spiritual stones and elixirs."
"Let's not talk about these things anymore, brother Wei, come on, let's get drunk and then rest." Zhu Maoqing raised his wine glass and the two of them drank it down.
"Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for Brother Zhu! I just borrowed some spiritual stones, but with such a heavy responsibility, I didn't even arrange an errand. Without errands to make a living, there would be no income from spiritual stones. I only rely on monthly distribution.
The salary you receive is not even as good as that of a casual cultivator! It is so chilling for your seniors to do this."
Zhu Maoqing sighed and said nothing, just drank.
Wei Xuan continued: "If you want to talk about this, you have to blame Taoist Zhu Yanran. If she hadn't slandered and spread rumors behind his back, and ruined Brother Zhu's reputation, it wouldn't have been like this. Not only did Brother Zhu have to be grounded for three months, but he also lost his talent.
The position of building manager has made the seniors in your mansion even more disgusted with Brother Zhu."
"That day we were having a banquet and having fun at Tianjiao Pavilion. What Taoist friend Zhu Yanran said was very harsh even to me, an outsider. It was not so harsh even for outsiders, let alone my own family!"
"Humph." Zhu Maoqing snorted coldly: "Sooner or later I have to settle this account with her."
"If Brother Zhu wants to take revenge, Brother Zhu has a way to make Brother Zhu feel proud."
"Oh?" Zhu Maoqing's eyes lit up: "What method?"
Wei Yan smiled mysteriously: "Don't say it, don't say it. Brother Zhu will naturally know it by then."
Zhu Maoqing looked at him suspiciously: "This bitch Zhu Yanran is not easy to deal with! He has the ninth level of Qi refining and is quite trusted by his sixth uncle. What can Brother Wei do?"
"Of course there are ways, but I'm afraid that Brother Zhu will be timid and fearful in the face of battle."
"Hmph, I have a mortal hatred for her. As long as I can make her suffer, there is nothing I dare not do."
"Don't mention this matter, brother Zhu, drink up this cup." Wei Yan said.
After five rounds of drinking, both of them turned slightly red. After drinking some more, the two of them were extremely drunk and staggered out of the pavilion with their arms around each other.
"Brother Zhu, are you happy today?"
"Okay, okay. Brother Wei, I'll say goodbye here. When Brother Yu has more money next time, please go to Nawangxichuan for a banquet."
"Brother Zhu, let's go slowly. It's boring to have a drink without a beautiful woman to accompany you. I have already prepared a peerless beauty to serve Brother Zhu. She is guaranteed to be better than the girl from Tianjiao Pavilion you originally had."
"Oh? Is it the woman from the attic?"
"No, this person is not an ordinary person. He can't fight in vain, he can only give in! Brother Zhu, please come with me."
"Okay, let me see what kind of beauty she is."
