When Wang Fuyu walked into the reception hall in the palace where the pure black tone was full of majesty and gloom, Lin Congzheng, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up from his seat.

From last night to now, less than twenty-four hours have been like years for him, and he has truly tasted what it is like to be restless at night.

Last night's unexpected action of the Criminal Department can be regarded as a rare big move of the Wang family in recent years, the spearhead is directly aimed at the Southwest Lin family and even the entire Southwest faction, which can be regarded as an active provocation, but the Criminal Department has caught a big handle in the action, arms, drugs, smuggling, one by one The heavyweight inside story continues to break out, followed by the propaganda department of the Ministry of Rites began to hype, newspapers, news, the Internet, news is everywhere, criminals were killed, heroic policemen died in the line of duty, and the shootout in Kyushu City ignited almost everyone's enthusiasm.

The Internet is full of hymns of merit, but those who really know the inside story will not think so at all, these reports seem to praise the bravery of the police officers of the Criminal Department, but in fact, only the last four words of the spokesman of the Criminal Department are the real theme.

Strictly investigate to the end!

This is one of the most disturbing words, proving that the royal faction is not satisfied with the immediate results, and intends to escalate the situation, or use this hardline attitude to force the southwestern faction to make major compromises.

Examine?

What to investigate, all the evidence has been put on the table of the Wang family, but now the outside world has reported that there are only criminals, not the Southwest Lin family, let alone the Southwest faction, obviously this is the attitude of the Wang family, there is still room for this matter so far, the key is to see what kind of price you plan to pay.

There are still about two years to go before the general election, but the imperial political scene has begun to surge, and it turns out to be a sign of the final showdown!

Before dawn, Wang Fuyu, who was side by side, had already received the news that the other party had asked for negotiations, and the southwest faction was full of sincerity, and the person who came was also a heavyweight at the level of a member of the decision-making bureau, Han Yushan, the director of the Supreme General Office of the empire.

What the two talked about, Lin Congzheng, who was sitting here waiting for news, didn't know, but he could think of it with his knees, this level of negotiation would definitely not be finalized in a few words, but at the very least, he directly crossed the secretary from the governor of Wuyue Province, and the matter of taking a big step up can basically be decided, this is the basic bottom line of the royal family, if the southwest faction is not psychologically prepared in this regard, then this negotiation is a meaningless waste of time.

But the game certainly doesn't end there.

If this is a war, the operation of the Criminal Department is an extremely successful raid, and the action of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites is equivalent to waving the flag and shouting might, and then the real hand-to-hand fight between the two armies, at least as far as Lin Congzheng knows, after the results of public opinion come out, the Imperial Supervision Commission has begun to act, summoning officials to the Supervision Commission one by one to drink tea and talk, this time for the southwest faction without warning, but for the Wang faction is indeed a long-calculated game, there is no intention to calculate or not, I don't know how many people will lose their black yarn hats because of this.

Surge forward.

Until the southwestern faction has not satisfied the appetite of the royal faction, this sudden storm is bound to not stop.

Lin Congzheng never thought that this time the battle between the officials would become so fierce with his high-profile addition to the Wang family, which seems to show how much importance the two CEOs of the Wang family are now in the Standing Committee giant sequence and are still on the rise.

Enter the Bureau!

Lin Congzheng, who was about to achieve the peak of his career, was excited, but for the whole night, the worries in his heart did not have to be much less excited.

Because of the cause of this incident, his biological daughter Lin Shuimo has no news so far, even if the Criminal Department swept several secret industries of Lin Fengxue last night, no clues were found.

Now, he can only put all his hopes on Wang Fuyu.

"Lord Wang, how is the situation?"

Lin Congzheng rushed to Wang Fuyu's side, looking calm, but there was nervousness and expectation in his eyes.

Wang Fuyu sighed lightly in his heart, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The situation is good, Lao Lin, your position has basically been decided, and you will be co-opted at this year's plenary meeting, enter the decision-making bureau, preside over the work of the development committee, and assist my sister-in-law in the cabinet." In addition, there is such a big thing in the Southwest Lin family, although the number of places in the main position of the Development Committee is enough, the value of the Southwest Lin family is much more important than this. What is the name of that deputy minister of the Criminal Department? The one who sang against Lao Guo, Zhang Jianguo, right? Take advantage of this opportunity to let him get out, go wherever he likes, and quickly transfer away. In addition, if your position in Wu Yue is vacant, someone has to be on top of it, right? The others are a few positions that are not very important but can be considered, about five or six. Han Yushan will definitely not be able to be the master of such a big matter, now we will go back and discuss it with their faction, and we will wait for the result that we still have a good hope of getting this majority of the places. ”

Lin Congzheng felt a chill in his heart, and he wanted to speak again.

This is definitely a lion's mouth.

A member of the decision-making bureau with real power is enough to support a wealthy family of the empire, and if it is a department with real power such as the Development Commission, the energy cannot be ignored.

What is the Development Committee?

It is no exaggeration to say that when a local feudal official enters the Development Commission, he can have a small bench to sit down, that is the treatment of the governor level, and the deputy governor and the like have to bend down and talk and pretend to be grandsons.

Such a place has always been a battleground for soldiers, especially after two years, once President Chen enters the cabinet, the development committee that only belongs to the cabinet is more important to the southwest faction, once he is in position, and the cabinet of President Chen unites with the outside world, then the southwest faction will lose all the right to speak in the cabinet in the next ten years.

Such a big price is not enough in the mouth of this side by side king?

One is the deputy minister of the Criminal Department, the other is the governor of Wu Yue Province, and there are two governor-level real power positions.

As for the so-called unimportant

Lin Congzheng smiled bitterly, at least it was a deputy with real power at the provincial level.

This is simply slaughtering the Southwest Lin family to death, grasping the fact that the supreme head cannot and does not dare to give up the Southwest Lin family, and cutting off a lineup of small and medium-sized factions on the big faction of the Southwest faction in one fell swoop.

It's really going to be a decisive battle.

The two CEOs of the Wang family seem to have begun to prepare for a turnaround two years in advance.

Lin Congzheng's eyes are complicated, he knows very well that in this large-scale counteroffensive of the royal family, he will be a banner and occupy a pivotal role in the royal family.

Lin Congzheng took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a little apprehension: "Lord Wang, is there any news of ink painting?"

Wang Fuyu's smile stiffened and lowered his head slightly.

Lin Congzheng's heart sank suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, his body shook slightly, his face was pale, and he said dryly: "What's wrong?"

Lin Fengxue did not admit that he kidnapped Lin Shuimo. ”

Wang Fuyu said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

Lin took a step back from politics, his eyes a little desperate.

This means that there is nothing we can do about it for the time being. ”

Wang Fuyu said lightly: "I transferred the surveillance video in the palace last night, and the woman who took the ink away at that time, I met Lin Fengxue a few years ago and was one of his henchmen, but it's a pity that even that woman is gone now, and I can't use that video to prove that the person who kidnapped the ink has something to do with Lin Fengxue, as long as he doesn't admit it, I can't do anything about him." Now that the descendants of the entire Southwest Lin family are gathered in Brilliant Divine Prefecture, it is impossible for me to kidnap hostages and exchange them with Lin Fengxue. ”

Lin Congzheng breathed heavily, his eyes were dull, and the meaning of the king side by side was obvious, even if it was a royal family with vast magical powers, this would not be able to save Lin Shuimo, without the slightest news, he couldn't search people door to door in the whole city, right?

And now whether Lin Shuimo is still in Kyushu City, or even whether he is alive is a question.

Thinking of this, Lin Congzheng's heart tightened suddenly, and his face turned pale.

In the end, did you still win the future and lose your daughter?

The eldest daughter is now a stranger to herself, if something happens to the younger daughter again

Lin Congzheng's mind was dizzy, and the whole world in front of him was shaking, and it seemed that he would fall down at any time.

He opened his mouth several times, wanting to join hands with the king to give up the position of the governor of Wu Yue Province, the position of the criminal department, and lower the bargaining chips to ask the southwest faction to release Lin Shuimo, but he never said it.

In front of the interests of the entire big faction, Lin Congzheng himself is the biggest beneficiary, his personal gains are huge, and he has no position to ask others to give up, that is, he has to make inches.

The most rational and correct thing to do within the faction should be to use Lin Shuimo's disappearance and sacrifice her in exchange for greater benefits!

Even the request that King Side by Side made to the Southwest faction just now included the intention of sacrificing Lin Shuimo!

The battle between the officials came to an end, the southwest faction continued to control the officials, the royal family completely controlled the cabinet, and the royal family hit the southwest Lin family hard and took the lizi, and the southwest Lin family got rid of Lin Shuimo, which was equivalent to regaining face.

Isn't that what equilibrium is called?

"With Lin Fengxue's character, he will definitely be unwilling to suffer a loss, at least he has to take back a little benefit, Lao Lin, you"

Wang Fuyu wanted to speak and stopped.

He didn't say anything, but it was obvious that the so-called interest was everything about Lin Shuimo.

"Lord Wang, I just want to know, is it possible for Ink to be alive now?!"

Lin Congzheng was silent for a long time before he raised his head, looked at Wang Fuyu, and asked word by word.

"Possibly. Or maybe it's very possible. After all, negotiations have only entered the initial stage, and everything is not over yet. If Ink Wash died, we should have found her body a long time ago, after all, Ink Wash's death needs to be publicized in order for Lin Fengxue to regain face, he doesn't have to admit that he killed him, as long as Ink is dead, it's enough. ”

Wang Fuyu's tone was indifferent, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Lao Lin, you"

"Lord Wang, I want to calm down. ”

Lin Congzheng said hoarsely, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

"The second floor is the king's study, you should think about it. ”

Wang Fuyu patted Lin Congzheng on the shoulder and said.

Lin Congzheng nodded a little dejectedly, turned around and climbed to the second floor, his steps heavy.

The princess and Huangfu walked down from the third floor lazily and met Lin Congzheng at the corner of the second floor.

Huangfu Chuxue said hello with a smile, and his smile was gentle.

Lin Congzheng barely squeezed out a smile, but his smile was uglier than crying.

Huangfu Chuxue looked at Lin Congzheng's back, raised his eyebrows, came to the hall with a thoughtful face, looked at her husband sitting on the high platform, walked up and sat beside him, and wondered: "What's wrong with Governor Lin? At this time, he should be happier than anyone else, why does he look a little depressed." ”

"Now he should be more entangled than anyone else. ”

Wang Fuyu smiled: "It is indeed difficult to choose between the future and her daughter." ”

"How could it be? Ink wasn't with Xuanyuan? There were only twenty or thirty people kidnapping Ink and Wash, how could Lin Xuanyuan take these people in his eyes?"

Huangfu Chuxue frowned and said, just simply puzzled, as for the accident? The elite of the twenties and thirties, even if they are fully armed to the teeth, will definitely not be able to stop a few charges from the god of war, so Lin Shuimo should be safer than anyone else now, what is Lin Congzheng worried about?

"Hey, hey. ”

Wang Fuyu smiled and sold a pass.

The princess narrowed her eyes, smiled charmingly, stretched out her little hand and grabbed his ear, and snorted coldly: "Say!

Wang Fuyu screamed, and immediately compromised very spinelessly, he looked around sneakily, confirmed that Lin Congzheng was not there, and said softly: "This is Xiaocao's idea." ”――

After Lin Congzheng entered the study of the king side by side at noon, he sat on the chair in a daze, the study was very quiet, the sound insulation effect was good, as long as the king and the princess did not come in, no one would disturb him even if the sky fell.

From noon, to the afternoon, to the evening.

No one knew what he was thinking, and the large ashtray in front of him was almost full of cigarette butts, and there were a few empty cigarette cases.

The man, who was currently the governor of a province and was about to become one of the leaders of the empire, took the last puff with a pale face with the last cigarette in his hand, and finally stood up and dialed his father.

"Hello?"

The phone was quickly connected, and Lin Huaiyu's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Dad, Lin Fengxue doesn't admit that he kidnapped Ink. There was nothing the royal family could do about it. ”

Lin Congzheng said lightly in a hoarse voice: "Ink can't be saved." ”

There was an instant silence on the phone.

Lin Congzheng waited silently, for a minute, two minutes

Every second, it seems, is a long time.

Lin was in a trance in politics, and seemed to have returned to 20 years ago.

What the same scene

Because of the Lin family in the southwest, the woman who was killed in the Lin family in Kyushu City is counted as Lin Shuimo, and she is the second.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Huaiyu finally spoke, his voice low.

"Dad, I decided, this time, I don't want to give up. ”

Lin Congzheng held the phone, holding the phone tightly, his eyes were slightly red: "Twenty years ago, we gave up once, this time, history must not repeat itself! Dad, in fact, over the years, I don't blame the third child, he hates me, hates you, and sneers at us, I don't blame him." We're sorry for him! I'm sorry for my little sister. Dad, twenty years ago, maybe we were wrong. ”

Lin Huaiyu was silent again, and only after a long time did he bitterly laugh at himself: "At that time, we had no choice. ”

Lin Congzheng didn't say more, hung up the phone, carefully smoothed the clothes on his body, straightened his waist, and walked out of the study.

"Lao Lin?"

Wang Fuyu happened to come to the door of the study, and was just about to push the door in, looking at Lin Congzheng who took the initiative to come out, and chuckled: "It's just right, it's time for dinner, together." ”

"I don't eat it. ”

Lin Congzheng smiled and shook his head: "Lord Wang, if you have the opportunity, please take me to say sorry to the Wang family." ”

Wang Fuyu's body slammed, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "What do you mean?"

"I chose to resign. ”

Lin Congzheng said calmly: "I will go to see Lin Fengxue and bring back my daughter." ”

"You've got it all figured?!"

Wang Fuyu's tone suddenly raised, and he said lightly: "Lao Lin, you must be clear about what your choice means. You are just fifty years old this year, if you join the royal family and enter the decision-making bureau this year, as long as you operate well, you can even take the next step in two years and become a member of the Standing Committee, even if you can't go up, at your age, you will not retire, but will play a role in a more important position, have you really decided?"

Lin Congzheng's facial muscles twitched slightly, obviously his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, he took a deep breath, laughed at himself, and said lightly: "People can't only be political in their lives, I am a politician, but more importantly, I am still a father." ”

He paused in his tone and said firmly: "I will save my daughter, at all costs!"

Wang Fuyu looked at him for a long time before he nodded, turned around and walked to the restaurant, and muttered to himself: "Why did you go earlier?"

There should be another chapter

The train went back at half past two in the middle of the night
