Lei Hanyu had a last wish before his death, so he did not hold a funeral for him. After cremation, he planned to send him back to Longhu Mountain for burial.
Zhang Qilu prepared several tables of vegetarian dishes and invited those who fought with the old man that day to see him off. Several leaders, including Xiao Bu and Jin Bu, were also present to see the old man off.
Gongdelin Restaurant was founded a hundred years ago and specializes in Jiangnan-style vegetarian dishes. It is known as the originator of vegetarian banquets. Before him, no vegetarian dishes could be called vegetarian banquets. Most of the places that could cook vegetarian dishes were temples and temples. Those places were originally Even if you are not extravagant, you can only treat guests with a few vegetarian dishes, and at most it can be regarded as a vegetarian meal.
To make this vegetarian dish look like a meat dish, it takes much more effort than a vegetarian dish. The vegetarian dishes on this table are cooked to perfection, with delicious taste, beautiful shape and beautiful pictures. The dishes are poetic and unique.
Lifelike rich fish, fragrant vegetarian crispy eel with sesame oil, unique taste of stir-fried vegetarian crab noodles, fragrant and delicious vegetarian braised pork, sweet and sour vegetarian pork ribs that taste just like the real thing, and more than a dozen vegetarian dishes on the table that look like meat dishes. . Paired with the sweet glutinous rice wine, the delicacies on this table somewhat diluted the sad atmosphere.
"Why didn't that fat man come?" Zhang Nian'er asked in a low voice
"I heard that Wu Long disappeared after that day." Li Xiaoxiao replied in the same low voice.
"Where did he go."
"I heard that before he left, he said that if you don't take revenge, you will be a disciple in vain."
"Is this really necessary? In any case, the old man was benevolent and saved five people before he died. Taking revenge in this way is not good for the old man."
At this time, Ma Decai, who was sitting next to Li Xiaoxiao, also joined the discussion in a low voice.
"Who says it's not the case, but I heard that it was just an excuse for him to go for revenge. It was mainly to recover a treasure from their Longhu Mountain."
"What baby."
"Nian'er, don't ask like that, it's inappropriate." Li Xiaoxiao lectured, "That's right, Brother Ma is such a treasure."
"The Five Thunder Divine Tokens. I heard that these Five Thunder Tokens are magic weapons made by the founder of Longhu Mountain."
"Where did that thing go?"
"It's nothing more than the Lord of the Flies, and..."
At this point, Ma Decai hesitated a little and lowered his voice, "I heard that Muzishan was the first one to rush to the rescue."
"What's going on? Zishan saved them, but did he save them by mistake?"
"No, Wu Long suspects that the loss of the Five Thunder Orders may be related to Muzi Mountain."
"Are you kidding? This thing is useless to Zishan. Why does he want it? What kind of treasure does he want? Ask Qin Dao or Zhang Qilu for it. Who of them will not give it to him?"
"Who says it's not the case? Wu Long didn't argue, he just said he wanted to avenge his master."
"No wonder he has appeared in our western suburbs several times recently. It turns out he knows Mu Zishan lives there. Your leaders of the Civil Special Committee don't care about him."
"No matter what, we have nothing to do with him. He is following Mr. Lei. He is Mr. Lei's apprentice and a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He is not a member of our staff. What do we have to do with him?"
"Let me ask you, Lao Ma, did he tell you how he escaped from the underground icehouse he entered with us that day?"
"I really did say that."
"What did he say? Let me tell you."
"Wu Long said that when he passed by the icehouse that day, he noticed that there seemed to be someone there, and he followed him. Unexpectedly, there was a tunnel in the icehouse. After he came out of the tunnel, he was attacked by a group of Japanese people, and he narrowly escaped death. Ran out."
"Escape from death, is he injured?"
"Very serious injuries. There are 17 stab wounds on the body alone, one fracture, three bone fractures, and countless hidden weapon wounds, poison wounds and other minor injuries."
"That's really a narrow escape from death. You broke out of the gate of hell."
When asked about this, Li Xiaoxiao stopped. She glanced at Zhang Nian'er, saying that if she asked about Wu Long again, she would be exposed.
Everyone chatted and tasted vegetarian food. The most eye-catching among these tables is not Zhang Qilu, nor Qin Dao and Muzi.
Shan, Li Xiaoxiao and other young people. Not even those leaders of the Democratic Special Committee.
The seven Miao women opened a table alone. The dishes in front of them were almost untouched. It wasn't that they didn't like to eat. They had already devoured the entire three tables of vegetarian dishes like a whirlwind. This is now the fourth time it has been served.
Everyone is a practitioner and naturally has a good appetite, but no one has ever seen a good woman with such an appetite. Not only did they drink and eat, they also ate countless plates of vegetarian buns as their staple food.
Everyone was surprised, and almost everyone's attention was attracted to their table.
At this moment, the mobile phones of members of the local residents' special committee received messages almost at the same time. The still relaxed atmosphere suddenly became serious.
"We're leaving."
"Brother Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Decai glanced around and said, "Ask Master Qin what happened later." After saying this, Ma Decai hurriedly went downstairs and left the restaurant with a group of officials from the People's Special Committee.
...
Qin Dao was looking at a document in his study. His face gradually became serious. After a while, he closed the document and gave it to Gan Baihua behind him, motioning for her to take a look at it too. Then he looked at Ah Shou sitting opposite and asked.
"How many people did you borrow from Basket Bridge Prison?"
"One hundred and eight. The young master is absolutely right. Only a minority of these people have undergraduate degrees. Most of them are graduate students in finance and accounting. There are many people with higher academic qualifications, and there are even a few young professors."
"Are these people cooperative?"
"Cooperating, at first they were mostly ineffective and perfunctory. But after I accidentally revealed the details of our family and reported the remuneration, these people were extremely cooperative."
"Are you so sensible?"
"It can be said that there is no one who is better at calculating than these people. Finally, I told these people about our relationship with the official and the possibility of reducing their sentences. They were simply crazy. They forgot to eat and sleep for days and nights."
"What are the abilities of these people?"
"Master, these days, I see that they are idle. I divided them into twenty groups, took some funds for them to operate, and let them try the waters in the financial market."
Zhang Qilu seemed to be interested after hearing this.
"How much did you pay? It won't attract the attention of those people."
"The money was not much. One group was given 10 million Lianzhong coins. They were not allowed to mess around in the country, they were all abroad."
"If you lose, you still win."
"Young master, you don't know that these people were arrested after committing crimes, and they all looked like they were not angry because their ambitions were unfulfilled. Given such an opportunity, they were really at home. These twenty groups just insisted No one has lost money, and the most powerful group has now turned 10 million into 32 million."
"It's impossible to keep all of these people when the time comes. Ah Shou, please select some with relatively strong abilities, short sentences, and simple social connections. Then we will figure out how to operate them."
"How many people can we keep?"
"Let's keep thirty-six."
"Don't you need to consider your character?"
"We've all gone in, and there's still talk about moral integrity. No matter what the reason is, they're just some money-grubbing people who take shortcuts. If they can do tricks here, under our noses, they'll be considered capable. , is a talent, we are more important. But there is one thing, you have to remember."
"Master, tell me."
"At this stage, we should not let them have more contact with our civilian staff, especially those who play computer games. They face computers all day long and have little awareness of the evils of human nature."
"Okay, Master, I've written it down."
"Have you verified the conclusions you drew?"
"You are not free these days. We have verified and calculated the calculation several times. This conclusion is considered reliable."
"You mean the first thing they attack is food, right?"
"Yes, two months ago the United States announced that due to uncontrollable factors such as climate in the coming year, it may reduce its soybean production significantly. This news directly led to
As a result, global soybean prices have soared. In order to cope with the possible food crisis, our relevant official departments purchased 10 million tons of soybeans from the United States at a high price. However, no one expected that this country would be so shameless. Just half a month ago, they actually said that the judgment that led to a possible production reduction was due to incorrect data. Not only would the production of soybeans not decrease, but it would increase compared to previous years. . As soon as the news came out, global soybean prices fell rapidly, and the 10 million tons of soybeans purchased by China instantly depreciated by more than 50%. At this time, they took advantage of the situation and purchased many grain, oil and soybean companies on the verge of bankruptcy in China at low prices. At this time, they are integrating these enterprises in China, and I believe it will not be long before they can join the grain and oil industry in China. "
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Sure enough, they did some research on China this time."
"They have deliberately planned for today's situation. In the past ten years, China's food imports from the United States have increased more than ten times, with an average annual growth rate of more than 50%. Just because we have become more and more interested in their food Dependence, that’s why I suffered such a big loss this time.”
"Do you have any countermeasures?"
"It would be easier if they were just tampering with food. For this situation, they have established a number of high-tech fuel environmental protection companies in China."
"What project are you running?"
"Bioethanol and biodiesel. This is a project that converts grain into fuel alcohol through the fermentation of microorganisms. It is then mixed with gasoline to prepare automobile fuel."
Qin Dao narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"In today's world, there are at least a billion people who don't have enough to eat. They still do this. Their hearts are so vicious."
"Who says otherwise? I don't know what means they used. Their projects actually received strong support from Chinese officials. They are already in contact with Chinese energy companies."
"These are the people who found out."
"Yes, they secretly controlled an environmental protection technology company listed in China. The food and fuel matter was the first battle of this company. The matter was carried out very secretly and was not easy to find out. It was a man named He Bing who saw it. I didn’t expect to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. Through this clue, I found out a series of subsequent events.”
"He Bing."
"Yes, he is thirty-six years old. Before he went to prison, he worked as a financial director in a state-owned enterprise. In order to treat his family, he misappropriated funds. He was sentenced to ten years and spent five years in prison while studying on his own. Got two degrees in law and literature."
"Yes. This guy is very nice."
Hearing this, Ah Shou knew that the young master should admire this person, and was about to introduce He Bing again. Unexpectedly, Ah Fu pushed the door open in a hurry at this moment.
Qin Dao knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Ah Fu's expression, and it was probably not a big deal.
Qin Dao secretly sighed and lamented that it was such a troubled year.
