District 9

After the Jifei meeting, Xiao Wu left with the family generals.

Sha Xuan carefully recalled the details of the meeting and contacted Lao He alone.

After about an hour, Lao He returned to the Shaxuan Brigade Headquarters and went to the small reception room.

"Hello, Chief of Staff He." Sha Xuan extended his hand politely.

"Hello!"

The two parties exchanged pleasantries for a few words before bending down and taking their seats. Lao He intervened and looked at Sha Xuan without taking the initiative to say anything.

"Chief of Staff He, in fact, you should be clear about the reason why I came to you." Sha Xuan organized his words and said in a helpless tone: "Commander Wang Zhengli was arrested, we all feel the same, but I To be honest, the safety of this particular general cannot affect the layout of the region."

When Lao He heard this, a strange look flashed across his eyes, but he still maintained a polite smile on his face.

"Things will continue, but now the local generals in the Lu District are... very resistant." Sha Xuan held his hands and said: "You are one of the representatives of the Lu District, so I hope you can dissuade everyone and give them some advice. They do some ideological work."

Sha Xuan's words were very low-key. I think back to those days when he was just starting out and was appointed as the leader of the ace group of the Sand and European families. He was high-spirited, young and frivolous. When it came to hobs and unreasonableness, he could be said to be the number one person in the nine districts. But after being fucked several times by animals from the Sichuan government, he realized the dangers of society and the complexity of politics. In addition, he was sent to the large border to cultivate his mind, so he has become much calmer now, and Inexplicably, I feel a little guilty towards these people who come from humble backgrounds.

Lao He pondered for a long time: "These people have a strong sense of family and are very united. Haha, this matter is not so easy to handle. Although I am familiar with people in the local area, it is based on the trust of Mr. Wang. In my case, do you understand?”

"Chief of Staff He, let me say something that shouldn't be said." Sha Xuan paused and persuaded sincerely: "Since ancient times, it has been impossible for the upper levels to compromise on principle with the lower levels. Once you join the army, you are a soldier. , but how can any soldier dare to disobey military orders?"

Lao He looked at him and didn't answer.

"Please consider what I say carefully."

"Then tell me the truth. Do the higher-ups want to negotiate with the Sichuan government in exchange for Commander Wang?"

"We can talk, but the initiative is not on our side." Sha Xuan replied ambiguously.

After hearing this, Lao He roughly understood what the other party meant.

If Dalizi is captured, the Sichuan government will use him to contain the local forces in the Lu District. However, the upper levels of the Zhou clique are aiming to prevent the smooth convening of the federation and the integration plan, so they engage in military conflict.

In this way, both parties have irreconcilable interests in this matter, so naturally they cannot reach an agreement.

To put it simply, no matter what conditions the Zhou clique offers to the Sichuan government, they will not release Da Lizi. And it is impossible for the Zhou clan to watch the Eighth District complete the integration and successfully convene the federation just because of Dalizi alone.

Thinking of this, Lao He couldn't help but frowned.

The timing of Dalizi's accident was too sensitive. What should the local family forces in Lu District do? What will the upper levels of the Zhou system do?

…

Chongdu.

After Qin Yu returned home, he took a box of cigarettes and a bottle of wine in a depressed mood and went to the balcony.

The cold wind was howling outside. Qin Yu was wrapped in a thin cotton jacket and looked at the starry sky in a daze.

You Gang's death raised a question in Qin Yu's mind: Did such a sensitive person really commit suicide by taking medicine? Why didn't Chen Feng put him under personal control? Is it really as simple as just being careless?

If it were normal times, it would be normal for an officer to be incited to rebel, but what time is it now? It was a period when Governor Gu's life came to an end and the transfer of internal power reached the most critical moment. Coupled with the fact that the four regiments were passively engaging in the battle, Yu Gang, the traitor, became too conspicuous.

What he was selling was Fu Zhen, and his methods were so vicious and direct that Chen Feng saw it, so how could he let this man commit suicide so easily?

Things must be abnormal. So is Chen Jun lying to himself, or is he completely unaware of what happened next?

Or maybe Chen Jun himself has something to hide, such as he found something but was unable to continue to investigate and deal with it, so he acquiesced in You Gang's death?

This matter hid too many possibilities, which made Qin Yu very uneasy.

At the same time, Qin Yu didn't want to doubt Chen Jun, or the big brother who had helped him several times during the most difficult times.

At Qin Yu's current position, he already has the so-called top power and top wealth in his hands. Compared with these, he cares more about the friendship accumulated during those grassroots days.

Qin Yu was a little scared. He was afraid that many people had changed. He was afraid that sitting in this position, he would rule the world while being ruthless.

Is being a pledge of rights a lifelong pursuit?

Qin Yu faced the cold wind, shook his head, and took a sip of red wine.

At some point, Lin Nianlei walked out of the house, put her hands in the pockets of her pajamas, tilted her head and leaned on Qin Yu's shoulder: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Qin Yu turned his head to look at her and said softly: "Do you think one day, all the people around me will change and become unrecognizable to me, or... they haven't changed, but I am changing? "

Lin Nianlei smiled sweetly: "My child and I will not change, and I believe you will not change either."

"Where are they?" Qin Yu asked.

"Yeah." Lin Nianlei thought about it carefully and replied in a clear voice: "I like what a teacher said to me in college. Today may be difficult, but tomorrow will be beautiful, and the same is true for life. Human nature is indeed There is darkness, but when the historical node of a specific period arrives, I prefer to believe that the glorious side of human nature will be as bright as the rising sun tomorrow."

"Fool." Qin Yu grinned and reached out to touch Lin Nianlei's head: "I always thought that you had changed a bit since you became the minister."

"Haha." Lin Nianlei also laughed.

The couple stood on the balcony for a long time, and Qin Yu finally made the final decision to implement the big plan.

Meng Xi said that human nature cannot stand the test.

Lin Nianlei said that human nature has a glorious side.

Which one is more correct?

Qin Yu anxiously thought about his plan.

…

Chongdu, inside the headquarters of the Military and Political Investigation Bureau.

Lao Zhan, Xiao Liu and others, who dragged their families and took advantage of the chaos and ran out from Lu District, were speechless for a long time as they looked at the secret operations office with only one office and six key personnel.

"Fuck you!" Lao Zhan smoked a cigarette, looked at Fu Zhen sideways and said, "Other people's bragging is 70% true and 30% false, but if you brag without any basis, I'm really not sure. I’ve never seen it. Where are your more than 3,000 soldiers?!"

"The higher-ups have approved it, but it's just not in place yet. Don't panic." Fu Zhen explained.

"Fuck, are you a loan warrior?" Xiao Liu cursed in a broken voice, "Is it too late to buy a return ticket now?"
