1. Ten steps of herbs (above)

There is a quiet courtyard in the eastern district of Xijing City, and the tall red brick wall has been silenced by the years and turned a dark purple. ()

The trees in the courtyard cover the sky, which looks solemn and quiet; The courtyard is lined with more than a dozen unpretentious two-story buildings.

Here, it is the earliest residential area of the Provincial Party Committee in Xijing and the famous Provincial Party Committee Courtyard A.

Although Xijing City is already full of high-rise buildings and has begun to take the shape of a modern city, there is not a single high-rise building around Courtyard A in this golden area where every inch of land is valuable.

It's one thing to get approved, the main thing is that no one dares to touch this mold.

There have been two deputy prime ministers of the republic and a vice chairman of the military commissariat in the courtyard, and the villas they once lived in have become an important part of the city's history; Their descendants have also lived here, and every year people come back to be nostalgic.

Although most of the villas in Courtyard A are vacant all year round, and the current leaders of the provincial party committee and provincial government live in the suburbs, the security and logistics work here has never been relaxed.

Late at night on August 25, four luxury cars were parked in front of a villa in the southwest corner of Courtyard A.

The first floor of the villa is a four-bedroom and two-living room layout, and the decoration is also extremely simple, and there is an ordinary but very old willow eight-immortal table in the middle of the living room.

In the dead of night, it was dark outside the window, and there was only a dim wall lamp in the living room.

Three middle-aged men with serious expressions sat around the table of the Eight Immortals.

The man sitting in the first seat with a Chinese face, eyebrows, and a good bearing was Ma Gequan, the eldest of the four brothers of the Ma family, who sat quietly on a wooden chair with a cigarette in his hand.

Ma Gequan's left hand is the slightly thin third elder of the Ma family, Ma Gefei, and the dark-skinned sturdy man opposite is Ma Gejian, the fourth elder of the Ma family.

The ashtray on the table of the Eight Immortals was already full of cigarette butts, and the living room was full of smoke, and the dull atmosphere was so thick that it made people a little breathless.

After Ma Gequan coughed lightly a few times, he frowned and extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and said in a solemn tone: "Fourth, how did it happen like this?" That rabbit cub is dead when he dies, and he can be so passive for the sake of some face! ”

The old man of the Ma family sank like water on all sides, looked at the silent third brother, and said, "It's Jiajie who has to go, and the third brother and I can't stop it." ”

Ma Gequan let out an "um" and looked at Ma Gefei.

Ma Gefei opened a white notebook on the table, which recorded the list of people who attended the funeral of Little Brother Ma Gefei, which can be described as a review of the Ma family's forces.

He pointed to the names of the people on the list and said worriedly: "Big brother, we really can't bear it anymore this time, if we endure it any longer, the Ma family will be ridden on the head." Over the years, you and the second brother have been outside, and the fourth brother and I have listened to you, trying to maintain it as much as possible, trying not to offend anyone, but look at the current situation in Xijing. I've been the director of the department for five years, and it's going to be a joke to stay in the Department of Transportation. The fourth child has been working below for eight years, and he has been at the main hall level for four years. When you come back and talk to No. 1 during the Chinese New Year, I'll go to the Finance Department and let the fourth child go back to Xijing to take my place. But the one surnamed Wang was transferred to occupy the position of the Minister of Finance. The officialdom is full of live-eyed wolves and grass on the wall, and people have a plan to follow us. You've just come back, and look at this list of people who came to see off that little bunny, it's almost half missing. If I endure it any longer, I'm afraid that even I will be kicked out of Xijing. ”

Speaking of which, Lao Ma is a little irresponsible in naming the children of the Ma family, and the pronunciation of the name of the little brother Ma Gefei and the third child of the Ma family, Ma Gefei, is the same, which makes the third child of the Ma family feel uncomfortable all the time.

In fact, I can't complain about Lao Ma, Xiao Ma can be regarded as his old man's son, and the name given to Xiao Ma is an old cadre who was about to leave Xijing to take up an important position at that time. The reason why the four brothers of the Ma family later accepted Brother Xiao Ma to return to the Ma family was that the face of the son of the old cadre played a considerable role.

The four brothers of the Ma family were once known as the four masters of the Ma family, the eldest Ma Gequan has been trained by his father since he was a child, he is open-minded and bold on the surface, scheming, stable in temperament, and everything is planned before acting, which is quite similar to Lao Ma. When Lao Ma died, he was already a county-level cadre. Being able to support the scene of the Ma family and achieve the position of deputy provincial level when the old horse is no longer available, in addition to maintaining a good relationship with those families who have received the favor of the old horse, he also has considerable ability.

But an external force is an external force after all, and it can only provide convenience for him within a certain range. From the deputy (ministerial) provincial level to the main (ministerial) provincial level, it is not only a matter of qualifications, academic qualifications, and ability, but also needs to be supported at a higher level, and the previous relationships of the Ma family are inadequate.

He is fifty-three years old this year, and he understands what Magfei means. When he left Xijing for Beijing a few years ago, Ma Gequan's mood was far from being as depressed as it is now; But after serving as a vice minister in Beijing for two years, Ma Gefei and Ma Gejian both felt that their eldest brother had changed.

Now, Ma Gequan's son Ma Jiajie is lying in the intensive care ward of the hospital, his eyes are round, his lips and the skin on his body are strange pale green, and he looks very hideous.

The famous experts in the medical field in Xijing have all come to see it, and they can only shake their heads in the face of Ma Jiajie's condition, and they can't come up with any solution.

Ma Gefei and Ma Gejian's children are studying abroad, Ma Jiajie can be regarded as the first person in the next generation of the Ma family, for him, the two uncles have no selfishness, and have always cared for him very much. Seeing Ma Jiajie like this, they were all very anxious, but Ma Gequan didn't seem to care too much.

"Third child, go to the sea." Ma Gequan pondered for a long time and said.

Ma Ge stood up suddenly and shouted loudly, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”

"I mean, you quit your job and go to sea." Ma Gequan looked at Ma Gefei firmly and said steadily; "Among the four brothers of our Ma family, you are the most unsuitable one to be an official, you are naturally calculating, lacking courage, poor coordination, and serious lack of cohesion. In the two years that my second brother and I left, although you tried your best to bear it, you couldn't even maintain it. I have discussed with the second child a long time ago, the assets that our Ma family has accumulated over the years are not a small amount, and it is time to sort them out. You can't trust Lao Wu, and I can't trust him. Now that he's dead, you're the right person. It's time to wait, and it may be too late to start tidying up. Governor Wang wants to set up a highway investment company, and this is an opportunity. I talked to him before dinner, and he agreed in principle that you and Ba Chang would jointly organize the event and give you the position of chairman. The fourth will come up next month and take over your position as the head of the hall. ”

"Ba Chang." Ma Gefei hated the root of his teeth when he thought of this person.

"For a villain like that, now is not the time to care." Ma Gequan shook his head and said to Ma Gejian: "You go back now, find someone you can trust, and bring the police force in your area to Tianlun Temple, the more people, the better." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ma Gejian also stood up, just took two steps and stopped, and turned around and said, "Big brother means ......"

Ma Gequan smiled and said with satisfaction: "Play a play for the people above, that's all." ”

"What's wrong with Jiajie?" Magjian asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Jiajie is fine." Divine Doctor Li Xiang' is in Xijing, he is the person of Governor Wang. You may not know that he has a hospital in Shanghai, and there is a patient in it who has the same symptoms as Jia Jie. The identity of that patient is more important than Jiajie, and before 'Divine Doctor Li Xiang' came to Xijing, that patient was out of danger. "Ma Gequan's demeanor was relaxed, and his speed of speech was a little faster;" The third and fourth, in the years since my father's death, our four brothers have always been close to each other, helping each other to achieve the current situation. We have to think about the future of the Ma family, after this incident, we will more or less get rid of some of Jiajie's impetuousness, and it is time for him to enter the orbit. Let him follow the third child for two years first, as long as he is willing to work hard, before we retire, at least we can help him to your current position.

"The Ma family has indeed done a little too much over the years, you have forced away a provincial governor, this time is not as good as last time, you have also seen Wang Xiangjiao's wrist. This is not a compromise with our heads, and we cannot be a stumbling block to the development of Xijing. Even if Wang Xiangjiao doesn't move, someone will come to move sooner or later. Now is the right time, because our Ma family is conservative, although we have missed several opportunities for development, but it has reserved more space for Xijing to develop. Wang Xiangjiao also admitted that there are no major environmental problems in Xijing, there is basically no loss of state-owned assets, and the preservation of mineral deposits is basically good, which is indispensable to the contribution of our Ma family. Compared to the overdeveloped provinces in the east, he has the most room to maneuver in this almost empty area. Grow together. Progress together. This is Wang Xiang's promise. ”

Ma Gefei and Ma Gejian understood that the eldest brother had reached a tacit understanding with Wang Xiangjiao.

Sometimes, conservatism and backwardness are also a rare resource. In the future, the forces of the Ma family will be represented by Ma Gejian, and they will take this resource to fully cooperate with the work of Governor Wang Xiangjiao.

At the same time, there is a difficult conversation about the same topic in the suburban provincial government residential area.

"Ma Jiajie's disease, I can't cure it, and I can't cure it." After listening to Wang Xiangjiao's words, Zhu Tong firmly refused.

Thirty hours have passed since the bloody case of the "Kajasr" Castle, and Ma Jiajie and Editor-in-Chief Ye have been sent back to Xijing.

Under normal circumstances, even if the diluted Green Tara has been eroded for such a long time, those two people will not last long.

Zhu Tong could watch the lives of Ma Jiajie and Editor-in-Chief Ye lose little by little, but Jiang Xiaoyu didn't dare.

He and Lama Gegado, the head of the Medicine King Hall of Tianlun Temple, tried their best to maintain the condition of the two of them from deteriorating and completely detoxify and awaken them, but it was not something he could do.

Lama Gurgatta will only configure Green Tara, and there is no way to detoxify.

The snow mad monk looked at their anxious appearance and said, "There will be grass within ten steps."

Of course, Lama Gelgado didn't understand what this meant, Jiang Xiaoyu understood.

He immediately had people collect all the plants, minerals, and soil in the vicinity of the dark green moss plants.

Actually, there are only two kinds, red gravel and red moss. Those soils are also the products of the weathering and decomposition of red gravel.

Ma Jiajie and Ye took the juice of red moss and red gravel powder respectively, and after an hour, Ma Jiajie's symptoms changed significantly, and the greening process was greatly slowed down; However, Ye's symptoms showed no signs of alleviation.

So, Lama Ghargado made a large amount of red juice for them to take, but the effect was not as good as the previous time.
