September is a colorful season in Italy, the summer sun is fading, the maple leaves are gradually turning red, and the green pine trees are intertwined with the green grass, making this southern European country show its romantic side.

The manor is surrounded by a meandering river, the water is crystal clear, and the maple leaves that fall on the surface of the river float along the river, attracting a group of small fish to chase the leaves and play and play, and the waves that leap from time to time add a lot of life to this land.

The chirping of insects and birds came from the surrounding woods, and the cathedral in the distance could be vaguely seen through the trees, which was simple and precipitated with the breath of time.

Sidorov seemed to like the scenery here, walking on the stone-paved path and looking at it, with a smile on his face, and he couldn't extricate himself from the scenery.

Gradually, the two stopped at a place where there was a bench by the river.

Sidorov suddenly withdrew his gaze from the scenery and swept it on Shen Jiannan's face.

There is no impatience on the clean, upright and young facial features, the dark and transparent eyes are as calm as the surface of the lake, there is no impatience, no doubts, no urging, not even any emotions, if there must be anything, it seems that there is only a faint color of appreciation, admiring the natural scenery here, appreciating the years and history of the city.

Sidorov did not hide his satisfaction and appreciation for Shen Jiannan, he nodded, walked to the stool not far away and sat down.

"The view is lovely. ”

"If your father likes it, you can come here for a long time to rest and live here in the future, and Yulia also liked it very much, and she said that she wanted to go to Tuscany to see the hometown of Juliet and Romeo. ”

"Haha...... Shen, you spoil her so much, but you will spoil her. ”

"Isn't it true that men conquer the world just to spoil women? ”

"No wonder she loves you so much that she even sold her father. Ten percent, thanks to my hard work for more than 20 years. ”

"That's my attention, trying to test your bottom line. ”

"Yes? I know, it's none of your business. My daughter, I know her character very well. ”

After a pause, Sidorov looked up at the sky, and his eyes flickered.

"She's a lot like her mother. Always silly and naïve. If you fall in love with someone, you are hopeless, and you are even willing to give everything for someone. ”

“......”

"That year, I was just an ordinary employee of the agency, and I was not even qualified for food distribution, and it was she who secretly brought me the quota from home and deceived my idiot father-in-law. ”

“......”

“......”

One speaks, the other listens.

Sidorov was like a chatterbox, and proudly talked about the romance of his youth and how to eat soft rice to get to the top, which made Shen Jiannan wonder if the cheap mother-in-law he had never met was blind back then. The baldness and big belly of the cheap old man in front of him don't look like a handsome and chic look no matter how you look at it, and you can't find anything to praise at all.

"Later, we had Yulia, and my idiot husband had to accept the reality. I know he wants to kick me somewhere else. ”

“......”

"Shen. Are you like me, you think my husband is an idiot? ”

“......”

"Ask the question differently. Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Facing Sidorov's inquiry, Shen Jiannan thought about it seriously and nodded.

"Hmm. Sometimes it does feel like you're an idiot. ”

"Oh, my God. You're such an honest guy, don't you know it hurts me. ”

"We have an idiom in Huaxia. It's called great wisdom and foolishness. Meaning, it means that other people's idiots are actually idiots. But in fact, they are the smartest people. Your wisdom is the true wisdom. ”

"Are you praising me, or are you scolding me? Haha....."

"Thank you, Father!"

Sidorov calmly accepted Shen Jiannan's thanks and salutation, so the smile on his face suddenly narrowed and became a little serious.

"Your agreement with Cimpi seems clever, though. But in my eyes, it was a stupid decision. Behind him, there is no partisan support, just a pure Italian, if it is an investment, you can invest in other people. ”

"And what if Ciampi can become the prime minister of Italy?"

Well?

Sidorov was stunned, and a terrifying light suddenly flashed in his dim eyes.

"You mean the anti-corruption that is going on in Italy right now?"

"That's right. Andreotti had a close relationship with the Mafia, now that the Catholic Democrats were at a disadvantage, the Socialists were now scattered, and the Republicans and Forza and the Democrats were in each other's horns, the non-partisan faction of Ciampi became an opportunity. ”

Sidorov's face became cautious, and his eyes stared directly at Shen Jiannan.

"You did the Faconel family's business?"

"It's not. If I'm not mistaken, it was the Casio family who did it. This is also a key factor in the fact that Ciampi will come to me to work with. ”

"That's good. In this case, your investment is not considered a qualifying investment. ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Shen Jiannan got up and solemnly saluted Sidorov.

In matters like politics, the only person who can spare him so much is probably this one.

Sidorov accepted the salute with a big grin, his eyes became a little resentful, God is always unfair, and giving birth to a child is not something he can decide at all.

"I only have one daughter, Yulia. I hope you don't let her down, otherwise, you'll know what the Sidorov family really means. ”

"Choose between all wealth and Yulia, and I will not hesitate to give up all wealth. ”

"I hope you're telling the truth. ”

As he spoke, Sidorov took out the cigarette in his pocket, threw one and threw it to Shen Jiannan, which was regarded as a real recognition of his promise.

"After this incident, I think all over Europe, countries will follow the rules. But you still have to be careful of those family forces. Just be careful, with Sergey's guy for you, I don't think anything will go wrong. ”

"I understand. ”

"But you have to watch out for the Americans. Although you are now on the side of the Americans. Do you understand what I mean?"

fat, but to be slaughtered.

The best way to do this is to know how to share, or, to be good at hiding.

Meeting Sidorov's eyes, Shen Jiannan nodded cautiously.

《La Stampa》

One of the oldest Italian newspapers, founded in Turin in 1867, has the motto "Don't give in".

Before World War II, the wealthy Agnelli family took over ownership of the "media" and fled it after all sorts of changes. However, he recently bought it back.

'The murder of Mr. and Mrs. Faconel is a disgrace to the whole of Italy!'

At the beginning of the year, the owner of a Milanese company could not afford to pay the annual bribes and decided to surrender himself to the procuratorate and assist the procuratorate in its investigation. In this way, a vigorous anti-corruption campaign began in Milan and spread throughout Italy.

The investigative team, codenamed Mani pulite, which means "clean hands", was led by Antonio Di Pietro, a district prosecutor who was serving in Milan at the time.

It was a very extensive survey involving almost all political parties in Italy, officials at all levels. Especially during the investigation, because of the simultaneous involvement of the Sicilian mafia, there were several terrorist bombings in large cities such as Milan and Rome. Among them, Italy's then ruling party, the Italian Socialist Party, was almost dissolved. Bettino Craxi, the leader of the party at the time, was at the heart of the Tangentopoli affair, fleeing to Tunisia in North Africa, where he died due to illness and lack of proper medical care.

But no one expected that the investigation would lead to the high-profile assassination of judges and prosecutors by the mafia.

The prosecutors who were killed were none other than Jova Nifaconel and his wife, security guard Paulo Borcelino, as well as Sheriff Alberto, prosecutor Etano, and county governor Rocco Cinisi.

Milan, metropolitan area.

Thousands of men and women marched through the streets with banners, holding signs of Antonio Di Pietro in their hands, throwing 1,000 lire coins at Bettino Craxi and excitedly shouting: "Take it".

With the total collapse of the stock market, with the lira falling below the lower band of the ECU, with the killing of the family of Jova Nifaconel, the people involved and the amount of bribes seen on television and in the newspapers completely angered the Italians, who took to the streets to demonstrate in the streets when everyone knew what Bettino Craxi had done, but the evidence was not yet sufficient.

The anger of being deceived by the government, the long-term exploitation and oppression of the mafia, the shrinking wealth brought about by the securities market, and the economic pressure brought about by unemployment are like a powder keg, completely bursting.

Rome, hospital.

Danny Hughes had a white bandage around his legs, staring blankly at the handcuffs on his hands, and his whole mind went blank.

He never imagined that things would turn out the way they were.

"I think it's your contempt for the Orientals in your bones. But I have to say that you are living a really stupid and pathetic life, becoming a sacrificed pawn and ignorant. ”

Stupid Orientals?

Or is it stupid yourself?

Thinking of what Shen Jiannan said, Danny Houston was even more at a loss.

Obviously, he went to arrest people, but in the end he became the one who was arrested, and the Oriental man who shot at him seemed to be nothing.

How so?

Bang bang –

There was a knock on the door of the closed room, and before Danny Houston could greet him, a doctor in a white lab coat walked in.

As if being targeted by a poisonous snake, out of instinct, Danny Houston hurriedly shrank back.

But with one leg tied to the hospital bed, where can he shrink to?

"Who are you?"

The doctor seemed a little surprised by Houston's reaction, but eventually, he pulled down his mask, revealing a face that was both familiar and terrifying to Houston.

"Danny. If you're smart, you'd better keep all the secrets, or I can't guarantee that your family won't be the same as Nifa Connell's. But I think only the dead can keep secrets, don't you think?"

“.......”

At six o'clock in the evening, the evening program of Rome TV reported,

Danny Houston, an investigator for the Financial Market Supervisory Authority, committed suicide in the hospital. According to the investigation, Danny Houston had a close relationship with mafia members during his tenure, and last night, together with a number of mafia members disguised as government officials, attempted to kidnap and extort a foreign investor......"

Money never sleeps, and human life is worthless.

Looking at the report on the TV station, Shen Jiannan picked up his cigarette and took a deep puff. In this so-called holy city, who knows that there is bloody evil everywhere.

Who knows how many bones and blood are buried in every inch of bricks that glow with the smell of history.

"As I said, no one knows the economy better than I do, and look, the Germans are not cutting interest rates now. ”

"I'm a genius. ”

“......”

The lira has fallen below the exchange rate floor allowed by the exchange rate mechanism. The following weekend, Italy began negotiations on an official devaluation of the currency.

After negotiations with countries, the lira was allowed to depreciate by three percent in line with the lower limit of the exchange rate mechanism, but as part of the lira depreciation agreement, Deutsche Bank promised to cut interest rates by 0.25%, which could actually increase the value of the pound.
