City Marshal

The coast was full of wind and rain, but the capital was extremely sunny.

It was still in the spacious and not luxurious prime minister's office, and it was still the familiar figure sipping tea, but when Chu Tian stood in front of the old man, he could clearly see a few white hairs that he had never seen before. It conveys a trend of vicissitudes and aging.

Thousands of words, but Chu Tian turned them into one sentence: "Old Hua, I'm sorry!"

Hua Jiwei, who was drinking tea, was taken aback for a moment, obviously he did not expect Chutian to have such an attitude, his originally solemn face relaxed, and he put down the water glass and smiled gratifiedly: "I'm sorry? Very good, you are better than Wang Baxiong That kid has a lot of promise, and he won't complain about himself."

A smile flashed across Chu Tian's face, and he spread his hands back and said, "Since I decided to take the blame, and the incident was indeed caused by me, then there is no need to call for grievances. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I haven’t played with him for the first time, I admit it! Try to give it back ten times and a hundred times next time.”

Hua Jiwei put the water glass on the table, and glanced at Chu Tian: "I have grown a lot, and the whole world is not in vain."

Chu Tian leaned over and put a box of tea in front of Hua Jiwei, and then said seriously: "That's true, are you going to stop pursuing the Alishan incident because I complained about it? If it is useful, I will definitely put all the troubles If it is poured out, it will definitely be worse than Dou E."

"It's just that I know it won't work."

Chu Tian remained as calm as ever, with a steady voice: "Since no matter how much I complain, I can't affect the decision of the central government, so instead of doing something that makes you look down, I might as well take this matter to heart, at least to avoid waste Time for everyone to chatter."

"That's right, having this kind of cognition counts as a grade."

There was a hint of approval in Hua Jiwei's eyes, and he took the box of tea and glanced at it: "As I said before, the truth is not important, nor is it important to be aggrieved, what is important is the overall stability and the people's peace of mind. Officials, Taiwan put on a high profile to pursue the murderer."

"In addition to giving the government, it is also giving you problems."

Hua Jiwei put down the tea leaves, pushed his glasses and said, "You are good at handling things. There are more than a hundred corpses of murderers at the scene, and you immediately suppressed the emotions of [-] family members of officials, keeping the situation under control. It won’t let my phone be blown up by all parties.”

Chu Tian was not overjoyed, but just replied with a wry smile: "It's a pity that these are far from enough."

Hua Jiwei did not hide this point, leaning on the sofa and said lightly: "Of course it is not enough. The Alishan incident is a big fire. What you have done is to cut off the possibility of it spreading to other places, but there is no substantial effect on this fire. Rescue, you have to throw out a little chip."

Speaking of this, he added a few words: "Although the desperadoes you left behind can be explained to the public, they cannot completely satisfy the Taiwan authorities. You still need to show sincerity to calm the situation. I think you should also Do you know what they're waiting for or needing?"

"Exile me for three thousand miles?"

There was a hint of a smile on Chu Tian's face, and he said with a teasing smile: "Or imprisoned for three years?"

Hua Jiwei stretched out his finger and pointed at Chutian, seeming to be smiling wryly that he can still joke now: "Exile for three thousand miles is meaningless to them, and they have no appetite for three years of imprisonment." His tone suddenly became serious: "There is only one request. , withdrew from Tangmentang in Taiwan."

Withdraw from the hall?

Chu Tian, ​​who was pouring water by himself, almost fell over when he heard the words, and then looked at the old man with a surprised face: "Isn't this appetite bigger? The Tang Sect managed to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan in the past, but now they are forced to take this scapegoat to withdraw." Even if I agree, Tang Wan'er will not agree."

"I accept compensation, apology and even punishment, but withdrawing from the Tang Sect is too serious."

Hua Jiwei seemed to have expected Chutian's attitude long ago, holding the water glass with both hands and smiling, "This is the only solution they have revealed. In fact, I don't think it's a bad thing. Although the Tang Sect has established a hall in Taiwan, Two thousand elites are also allowed to garrison and develop.”

"But ask yourself, can the Tang Sect stand firm in the long run?"

Chu Tian held the cup and didn't answer, he didn't think deeply about this question.

Even though Wei Pozhu proposed the withdrawal of the Tang Sect from Taiwan a long time ago, Chu Tian just took it as a joke. Now that I think about it carefully, the attitude presented by the Taiwan authorities this time has shown that both black and white have digested the consequences brought about by Chen Taishan's violent death. Concussion, once again closely united.

With the strong alliance between Lian Bubai and Wei Pozhu, the entrance of 2000 people can be broken at a flick of a finger. At that time, the entrance of Tangmen will no longer be a nail driven into Taiwan, but a piece of fat that can be swallowed at any time. Instead of struggling to develop under Wei Pozhu's coveted eyes, it is better to withdraw from Taiwan.

"Have you figured it out?"

Hua Jiwei believed that Chutian was a smart person, and waved his finger in mid-air: "This is the best way to solve the Alishan murder case, and it is also the reason why Tangmen can withdraw from Taiwan with dignity. Do you really want to see the two thousand Tangmen Did you regret that you didn’t make this decision today after the disciple fell down?”

"Hua Lao, what you said makes sense."

Chu Tian poured the clean water in the cup into his mouth, calmed down the conflict in his heart, and said, "It's just that I need some time to convince Wan'er that although the entrance to Taiwan is guarded by Fang Jun's former department, I can make decisions with my word, but in name, I still need to persuade Wan'er." Wan'er nodded, give me three days, and I will give you the answer when the time comes."

"it is good!"

A smile flashed across Hua Jiwei's face, and he happily agreed to Chutian: "I'll give you three days! I believe you can convince the girl of the Tang family! After all, she can see the pros and cons. Back then, Chen Taishan lost more than he won. It’s raising mice and keeping cats, so the tens of thousands of bamboo unions will not be able to attack Tangkou.”

"Replaced with the current Wei Pozhu, it will be destroyed in less than two days."

Speaking of this, Hua Jiwei also added a few words: "And for Wei Pozhu, who has just been supported, he needs this victory to consolidate his position, so once the Tang Sect decides not to withdraw from Taiwan, Wei Pozhu will They will attack at all costs, even with the entire force of the gang."

Chu Tian let out a long breath: "Understood."

Hua Jiwei tapped his fingers on the table, and said meaningfully: "Withdrawing from the hall does not mean that you will never be able to make a comeback. If you have a chance, you can go to Treasure Island again. Besides, your kid will not stay. Second hand? Apart from this ostensible trick, you secretly..."

Chutian's heart skipped a beat, and then he straightened his chest: "No! Absolutely not! I promised Jiang Shengli that I would never set foot in Taiwan again. Why should I develop my power?" Then he changed the subject: "Old Hua, besides withdrawing Outside the Tang gate, what else should I do?"

"Leaving the capital, or even leaving the Celestial Dynasty for ten and a half months."

A look of helplessness flashed across Hua Jiwei's face, and his tone was gentle: "Although you have dealt with sixty family members of officials, if they see you dangling under their noses, they will feel uncomfortable and angry, so you go out to avoid the wind. Head, you know that relationships are the hardest thing to deal with."

"If it wasn't for you to appease the family, my door would have been blocked long ago."

Chu Tian took a deep breath, nodded and replied: "Understood! I happen to have some things to deal with in the UK. At worst, I will go to Cambridge to study for a few days. I will go to London tomorrow at the latest. I just hope that I will come back again. They have calmed down. Angry, I won't pester Hua Lao again."

Hua Jiwei looked very open-minded, and waved his hands in response: "I don't care, I can hang them up for four or five hours at most, and they should know that there will be no results in looking for me. The matter is really troublesome and public opinion is everywhere. They Even this little interest in front of me will not be preserved.”

Then he raised his gaze: "Are you convinced this time?"

Chu Tian knew what he meant, and nodded honestly: "Convince! Convince me! Back then, Wang Baxiong was tricked by Lian Bubai, and I was still dragged into the whirlpool by him today. Hurry up, I'm afraid Alishan will really be stained red with blood this time."

Hua Jiwei threw out another three words: "Are you depressed?"

Chu Tian shook his head without hesitation, and replied calmly: "Don't be depressed! Lian Bubai's superior resources are far superior to mine, and behind him are the Lian family and the official support who have been immersed in it for a hundred years. He can still become the leader of a party without the bargaining chip in his hand."

"As long as he doesn't die or fall, he can still stand on top of 500 million people." The coast was covered with wind and rain, but the capital was extremely clear.

It was still in the spacious and not luxurious prime minister's office, and it was still the familiar figure sipping tea, but when Chu Tian stood in front of the old man, he could clearly see a few white hairs that he had never seen before. It conveys a trend of vicissitudes and aging.
