"So Li Er went to you to prove his innocence? He is not stupid."
Bai Lingyu deliberately stayed at home on the third day of the lunar new year, and even handled his official duties at home, just so that Baizhu could have a quick meal. He thought to himself that this father was really dedicated and could no longer dote on her. He even planned to cook a big meal for his daughter himself to repair the broken relationship between father and daughter, but he could only make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Baizhu didn't say anything after he arrived. He just silently picked out the finely chopped egg shells from the dishes. During this period, Bai Lingyu wanted to say it countless times but stopped and wanted to stop eating. Fortunately, Baizhu was enough to give him face, so he just said "make up for it". "Calcium" before talking in detail about recent events.
"Um."
Baizhu took a sip of tea and gave a brief summary of his recent contacts with the Li family:
"It was a joke in the name of asking for goods, implying that he was not the mastermind behind the bombing. I actually suspected that the Li family was behind the bombing at first, but then I felt something was wrong when I went to bomb the Shisanyao Factory. Apart from the Li family, The most beneficial person in this round is the Xi family."
Two days have passed since the explosion, and the military has punished Thirteenth Yao vigorously and resolutely. However, the person has not been caught yet, and the factory and finished weapons have been collected. In addition to this incident, all goods import and export in the outer city began to control weapons, and there were strict quantitative restrictions on the entry and exit of goods.
In addition to attacking Bai Lingyu, the biggest impact of this incident is on the arms dealers. If you think about it carefully, the Li family only benefits superficially. In fact, it has become a target in the eyes of many arms dealers who know the situation. The real beneficiaries are the Li family’s enemies. , Shuidong quoted it well.
"The speaker of the parliament is indeed the most likely," Bai Lingyu said clearly, without hiding it, "but arms dealers should indeed be suppressed. I saw that the recent city defense report said that arms transactions are becoming more and more frequent. It is not true that arms transactions are more frequent during non-war times. It’s a good thing, something will happen if this continues.”
Baizhu had been worried about this before, and Sharge also gave many warnings before entering the city. The arms business is increasing instead of decreasing. I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the détente period, which is also the period when the imperial army has not rested for the most.
Bai Shu said calmly: "I know."
Bai Lingyu looked at her expression and asked: "You just said that when you went to blow up the factory, you felt that the Li family was not behind it, so you reacted and provoked you to cause the bombing as an excuse to weaken the arms business. Why are you still making such a big fuss? "
"Weakening the arms dealers is conducive to the stability of the situation. It will be useful to get these confiscated materials into your hands as soon as possible." Baizhu replied briefly, "What's more, chaos is not bad. I can fish in troubled waters and eliminate other competitors. This factory will not lose money by blowing up. "
Okay, fishing in troubled waters to eliminate dissidents, she made up her mind to let him, her immediate boss from the outer city, open a back door for her.
Bai Lingyu was in a mixed mood for a moment. He didn't know whether he should be happy that Bai Shu was thinking about the situation, or feel disappointed by this method. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you so sure that I, a major general, will be complicit with you? Isn't it just a matter of extermination of relatives?"
"...If you really had that kind of noble character, you wouldn't just use Thirteen Yao when handling a case."
Bai Lingyu's solution represents his attitude, which is nothing more than protecting his shortcomings and believing that Bai Shu will not stab him in the back.
Under Bai Shu's care, he was willing to confess his plans to Bai Lingyu, and would not be such a jerk that he would let his father destroy his family.
"Sure enough, children shouldn't be pampered. It's so fast when they go to bed." Bai Lingyu muttered, his eyes falling on Bai Shu's right hand hanging on the arm of the chair, "...what's wrong with that hand of yours?"
Wearing gloves, it's usually hard to tell, but when we were eating, Bai Lingyu casually said to take them off, and Baizhu took them off without taking it seriously. Only then did he realize that half of Bai Shu's right ring finger was broken.
Cheng Youyue didn't think of these things. Baizhu had been through the wind and rain over the years, and had a lot of injuries on his body. This half finger was really not dangerous, it was just obvious.
Bai Zhu lowered his eyes and rubbed his severed finger through his leather gloves: "The plane crashed on the day of the evacuation of the Second City. He landed in a mine. He had a fight with the leader there and was shot at his hand."
In fact, it was not only that, the bone fracture in his right arm was aggravated due to strenuous exercise, and several steel nails were inserted into it.
Seeing Bai Lingyu frowning, Bai Shu moved his long-lost filial piety and added: "I was young at that time, my skills were not good enough, and some physical hardware conditions were not up to standard. This kind of thing will not happen now. "
"If you come back and join the army, stay under my nose," Bai Lingyu frowned, "Where would you get such an injury?"
Come on, don't think that I haven't been under your hands before. Apart from being less injured, nothing else is much better.
After Bai Shu cursed, he didn't want to talk about this topic any more: "It's fine now."
No matter what, she has come through these ten years, and no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, she will be fine.
Bai Lingyu moved his lips, and finally let out a long sigh: "Next, we need to use the bombing to eliminate a group of arms dealers with evil intentions. We can also take advantage of now to find out the whereabouts of [Alice]."
Bai Shu thought for a while and said: "I will cooperate with you and help you handle the collected materials. I have also compiled a list of arms dealers. [Diss] is not very active now. You can bypass me and deal with it first." Some things that are easy to handle are normal and will not arouse suspicion.
"As for the Li family, the supervisory power cannot be given to Li Lingqing. It is true that other powers can be released a little, but not now. It must be delayed until the promotion ceremony. At this time, Li Muye's arms business is not going well, because she is not going well. If something goes wrong, it will affect the parliamentary election after the promotion ceremony. She is now eager to get real power and protect Li Muye.
"But Li Muye's goods are still in my hands. After the handover, you will bring someone to detain them for him. Before he and I have a falling out, you can make more preparations and don't put suspicion in my head. Wait until we do it. After Li Er is finished, it's almost time for Li Lingqing's promotion ceremony. If you can properly delegate power and appease him, don't let the Li family jump over the wall in a hurry."
Bai Lingyu clicked his tongue when he heard this and laughed: "Did you engage in the arms business because you expected this situation so that the 'enemy' could cooperate?"
"Half and half," Baizhu paused, "Being an arms dealer is more comfortable than being in the army, not to mention that arms are not good or bad, it just depends on how people use them. In this period, although the large amount of arms I hold is eye-catching, there are also Guarantee, if chaos breaks out, this is a gold medal to avoid death."
"The empire cannot withstand internal strife until foreign troubles are eliminated," Bai Lingyu repeated in a deep voice, "there will be no chaos."
"This is not something that Major General Bai can control alone. If the council gives you trouble during the promotion ceremony and refuses to promote you, the people below will also complain."
Regarding the civil strife, Bai Zhu favored Sharger's point of view: "But this is all for the funeral. What you have to overcome now is another hurdle."
Bai Lingyu frowned: "What?"
"Blizzard." Bai Zhu tapped the table and emphasized slowly, "Don't let the council make a fuss about it again."
