In less than a minute, Zhang Qilu and Huiling's sister-in-law had already exchanged more than a hundred moves. From the beginning of the fight, the two of them almost didn't move, relying entirely on their hands. Huiling's sister-in-law's moves were precise and clever, and her moves were deadly. Zhang Qilu's moves were even more exciting. He seemed to have no fixed routine. In addition to grappling hands and acupuncture points, he would also pop up a few moves of Tai Chi and Xingyiquan from time to time.
Most of the people watching the civil war below were all members of the Lian family, and they were simply excited to watch.
Suddenly, Sister Huiling took a few steps back, put away the scimitar in her hand, and walked towards her position without looking back.
Minister Xiao looked at her bitterly, hoping she could give an explanation.
Huo Wenjun spread his hands, smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Bu, don't look at me like that, I can't beat him."
Minister Xiao felt a chill for a moment. This chill was not brought to him by the young people who broke in, but by the indifference of these colleagues, who slandered him as a layman leader.
Xiao Changning is a child from a rural area. He has known since he was a child that to change his destiny, he needs to study hard and then climb up the ladder. After graduating from college, he worked his way into an agency and then married the daughter of his boss. At first, he benefited a lot from this, but with the retirement of his father-in-law, his career encountered a bottleneck. In the next ten years, he made no progress in his career. By chance, he found out that there was a vacant position in the Civil Special Committee. He used up all his favors and worked hard to get the position of minister of Leng Yamen. I originally thought I would stay here for a few years if I didn't do well, and finally tried my best to take a step up. I really didn't expect the water here to be so deep.
Everyone in the Civil Special Committee has a strong sense of the world, and it is extremely difficult for him, a scholar, to fully master this department. Xiao Changning is also a ruthless person. He grits his teeth and goes deep into the grassroots level, gradually developing a charlatanism. But it is still too difficult to actually grasp the entire Democratic Special Committee. An opportunity arose not long ago. Someone approached him. He was the secretary of a big leader. He said that someone above him felt that young people like Zhang Qilu and Qin Dao were too unruly and uncontrollable, and wanted to teach them a lesson. Then he gave a subtle hint that he should do nothing in the first few days before coming to Shanghai.
Xiao Changning is not a perfect good person. He takes shortcuts, plays tricks, and speculates, but he is not stupid. He knows the importance of it. After weighing it again and again, he decided to follow his superiors and ignore what happened in Shanghai these days. , wait for instructions above. But the events of the past two days were beyond his imagination. First, there was a fight in a bar and a bunch of corpses were dragged out. Then two young men, Zhang Qilu and Qin Dao, were taken away by the relevant departments for no reason. Then last night, two big families in Shanghai and Hainan were taken away. People were wiped out, and the death toll exceeded 200. The leader’s secretary’s phone number has been completely unreachable these days. In fact, he had made some guesses before the meeting. The big leader might not know about these things at all, or he might know them, but he would never admit it.
Xiao Changning seemed calm during the meeting, but in fact he was very nervous. He knew very well that if he could not make a difference in this incident in Shanghai, he would be blamed for it. The young man who suddenly broke in really startled him, but he had calmed down now. The young man in front of him might be an opportunity to break the deadlock.
Xiao Changning let out a long breath, and he seemed to have made some determination at this moment. He stood up slowly and walked towards Zhang Qilu.
"Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am Xiao Changning, the director of the Civil Special Committee."
Minister Xiao's posture was very low, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Zhang Qilu's hand.
Facing such a leader, Zhang Qilu didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
When Minister Xiao saw that Zhang Qilu did not move, he was not polite and held Zhang Qilu's hand with a smile. Invite him to sit down and talk.
"Zhang Qilu, I've heard about your name for a long time and wanted to visit you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come first."
"No further talk, I'm here to ask you for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Qin Dao, he was taken away by you yesterday. He hasn't come back yet."
"This... person was not taken away by us. If you want someone, you shouldn't come to us."
"Do you, the People's Special Committee, manage the world of China?"
"yes."
"you
Is it an official organization? "
"certainly."
"Did Qin Dao be taken away by official people?"
"That's right."
"Then if I don't look for you, who should I look for?"
When it comes to fighting, Minister Song may be the worst person in the People's Special Committee, but when it comes to eloquence, adaptability and the ability to deal with people, he definitely does not insult the name of minister. At this moment, he immediately changed the subject.
"I will ask someone to inquire about Qin Dao."
Minister Song waved to Ma Decai at this time. When Ma Decai came closer, he immediately put away his smile and said kindly
"Xiao Ma, go find out which department Qin Dao was taken away by, and then go there immediately. If those people don't have any real evidence, take them out."
"Yes, what if they don't give it to them."
"Is there any more royal law?"
"What...what did you say about the Song Dynasty?"
"Are you asking if they still have the royal law? If they won't let him go without the royal law, then stop being reasonable and show your usual skills."
"Yes, Song Bu." Ma Decai left with satisfaction.
Minister Song, like changing his face in a Sichuan opera, put on a smiling mask when he looked at Zhang Qilu again.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with Qilu if I handle it this way."
Zhang Qilu felt as if he had punched cotton at this moment, and all his strength had no place to use. This was the first time that he encountered such a soft-bodied, flexible and flexible bureaucrat. Maybe this is what a bureaucrat is.
"Where were you when the Tong family and Hu family massacre occurred yesterday? Have you found any clues now?"
"After the massacre occurred yesterday, we all rushed to the scene as soon as possible. Those criminals obviously had premeditations and plans, and they were powerful. Everyone ran away when we arrived."
Minister Song showed an expression of regret and dissatisfaction at the right time. His expression was very accurate. Only then did Zhang Qilu realize what it meant to say that all politicians are actors. This group of people is indeed more professional than those professional actors who have won Oscars.
"Did you find anything?"
"There is currently no evidence to prove that they were killed by Jianghu people or practitioners, so these two cases of extermination are not under our control for the time being."
This was the first time in Zhang Qilu's life that his speaking rhythm was completely controlled by someone else. He did not speak, but tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrests of the table and chair. He stopped deliberately, trying to regain the initiative in the conversation.
"Don't you want to solve the case?"
"We are an official organization and everything follows the organization's arrangements."
"As far as I know, both of their families have legal heirs who are alive and running away."
"Really, that's really lucky."
"They promised that if the murderers could be found and they would be dealt with fairly and fairly in accordance with the law, the two families were willing to donate 10% of their property to this department through formal channels."
"really?"
The assets of these two families exceed tens of billions. If they can be implemented, department bonuses will be available for the next five or even ten years, travel expenses will not have to be delayed for half a year, and funds for equipment replacement will also be available. Minister Song finally became excited.
"What time has it been? I don't need to talk nonsense."
"Where are they now?"
"They're safe now. What happened?"
"If they are at the scene, they must have clues. We need them to cooperate with the investigation."
"Didn't you just say that the case is not your responsibility?"
Minister Song was not embarrassed at all, and said with a righteous expression, "Is there any more law? How can we, as an official law enforcement agency, allow such inhumane foreign gangsters to go unpunished? Where are those two people?"
"The two who ran out are children. They were seriously injured. It is absolutely impossible for me to hand them over to anyone. However, I can provide you with some clues."
"What clue?"
Zhang Qilu took out a mobile phone
Opening an address that Ah Fu sent him not long ago, Zhang Qilu knew who was at this address and the purpose of giving him this address.
Zhang Qilu showed the phone to Minister Song.
"What's the meaning."
"You will definitely find something if you go to this place. If the buildings are empty when you get there, then call the surveillance on the road. There are so many of them that they can't leave traces."
"You are treating us like gunmen."
"This is your duty."
"This comes at a huge cost. Many young people may never return home."
"Then do you want us to capture the person and hand them over to you?"...
This sentence finally made Minister Song unable to continue.
"No matter what, I hope you will start moving immediately and bite them. If you finally want to take action, let me know and we will come to help."
Seeing that Minister Song still didn't speak, Zhang Qilu looked into the void, took out a crystal clear jade talisman, and naturally placed it on Minister Song's chair next to him.
"This is a peace jade talisman I made. This is a piece of spiritual jade, which is naturally full of spiritual power. I poured a touch of Qi into this jade talisman so that it can live and breathe and echo the runes on it. . This jade talisman can be passed down as a family heirloom. It’s probably not a day or two since you joined our industry. You should have heard that the paper talismans I made can be sold for six figures in Xiangjiang, and the crystal talismans can be sold. To seven figures, guess how much such a jade talisman can be sold for."
"Eight digits?"
Zhang Qilu shook his head and said, "Priceless treasure. I have only made three such jade talismans in these years. Jade is hard to find and it takes too much energy."
Zhang Qilu saw a glimmer of light in Minister Song's eyes, but in a flash, he knew that the old fox had taken the bait.
"What's the use?"
"If you hang the jade talisman at home, it can keep your home safe and your family safe from illness and disaster. If worn on the body, it can avoid disasters and improve luck. If the wearer encounters any life or death crisis, it can guarantee the wearer's safety to a certain extent. A disaster is a blessing and a danger is saved. Of course, it is within a certain range. For example, if someone shoots at the wearer, the bullet may fly away, or it may only scratch the skin, but if five people shoot at the same time, it may not work. .You know what this means, right.”
Of course, Minister Song knew the value of this jade talisman. At this moment, his heart was jumping into his throat. If this jade talisman was taken to Xiangjiang, it would be snapped up by people. If it was sold for a sky-high price, there would be no market for it. There are so many benefits to keeping it for yourself.
"What is this, a bribe?"
"Of course not. You may not know that accepting gifts of magic weapons or various weapons from others in your department is not considered bribery. Because your department is too dangerous and you have life-saving things on you, so no one can say anything."
"Why give it to me."
"Because you are now the number one, you have absolute command over local security during emergencies. It is very valuable to reach a mutually beneficial alliance with you at this time."
Minister Song's hand quietly covered the jade talisman. He had decided to give it a try. Even if he failed to achieve results this time, it seemed that it would not be a loss to retire a few years early with this jade talisman.
"Then I'll accept it."
