Chapter 174: Retreat is Advance

"Jiang Hong?" Liu Yi looked at the results of the artificial intelligence query and felt very puzzled.

Looking at this person's profile, it seems that he is an ordinary businessman, running a trading business, and there is nothing else worth noting.

Liu Yi looked at it over and over for a long time, and couldn't find any connection between Ding Kai and this person named Jiang Hong, could it be that the two were really just discussing business?

But his intuition told Liu Yi that this was unlikely, Ding Kai was also a local governor, even if he wanted to partner with a businessman to do business, he would not go all the way to the White Deer Galaxy, and hide in a place where no one was secretly meeting, no matter how he thought about it, he felt very strange.

But from this Jiang Hong, Liu Yi really couldn't find anything suspicious, and all clues came to an abrupt end here.

Liu Yi could only give up for the time being, hoping that Su Ping would have more gains, otherwise he really couldn't guess what Ding Kai wanted to do just by relying on this clue in his hand.

Not long after, Su Ping sent a message saying that Ding Kai had gone to the imperial capital, and Su Ping naturally followed.

However, Liu Yi knew that even if Su Ping followed him to the imperial capital, he was afraid that it would be difficult to gain much. There are many places in the imperial capital where Ding Kai can enter, but ordinary people like Su Ping will never be able to enter, and the information that can be found is actually quite limited.

However, Su Ping's intelligence can at least explain one problem, Ding Kai is probably looking for a high-level relationship this time, which is what Ding Kai is best at, and it is also Liu Yi's biggest weakness.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and there are dogs at home who are good at the door! What Liu Yi lacks most is a strong backer, otherwise there would not be only a small official position that does not enter the stream.

If Liu Yi could have a reliable political backer, Ding Kai would have been driven out of Yaqiu long ago. Ding Kai relied on his relationship in the imperial capital to reinstate the official, and he easily took the taxes.

Now that Ding Kai is doing his old tricks again, even if Liu Yi knows Ding Kai's purpose, he has no choice, who makes him have no backer.

Liu Yi had a hunch that Ding Kai would launch a counterattack soon, and he, the Yaqiu Defense Commissioner, was probably about to do it.

For these battles in the officialdom, Liu Yi can be said to be a complete layman, with neither his own connections nor his own eyeliner, officialdom is a black eye for Liu Yi, and he can't find where the door is at all.

As a last resort, Liu Yi could only turn to Old Man Tang for help, but the old man is now far away from the imperial capital, coupled with the suppression of military enterprises by the party currently holding great power and prohibition, even if the old man has the heart to help, he has nowhere to focus.

However, after all, Old Man Tang has rich experience, and he still gave Liu Yi a few suggestions, so that Liu Yi had some more opinions that could be referred to.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to you, in the final analysis, you have nothing to do with officialdom, if Ding Kai uses his upper-level connections to deal with you, you have no chance to fight back at all, and you can only be at the mercy of others." The old man told Liu Yi regretfully.

"So what do I do now? Do you just sit back and wait? Liu Yi asked eagerly.

"In my opinion, the best way now is to retreat." The old man pondered for a long time and said: "First of all, you resigned from your official position, and without your official position, Ding Kai will not be able to use the rules of officialdom to deal with you. Second, you can consider reorganizing the militia into a corporate security force so that you can legally be armed. ”

Liu Yi nodded, and the old man's suggestion reached Liu Yi's heart. In fact, Liu Yi had considered doing this before, but the situation was not urgent at that time, so he did not start immediately, and now it seems that he was still too optimistic at that time.

The old man continued: "But this can only maximize your current interests, if Ding Kai is in Yaqiu for a day, he will continue to suppress you until he drives you away." ”

The old man said it very bluntly, but it was also the truth, and the more Liu Yi listened, the more pressure he felt. If he was alone now, it wouldn't make a difference where he went.

However, Liu Yi is no longer alone, and there are friends, subordinates, and the vast number of Yaqiu people behind him. Once Liu Yi falls, many people will be implicated because of it.

"Isn't there anything you can do?" Liu Yi asked.

"Well, of course, there are still ways, such as ...... used force to directly destroy Ding Kai's faction. The old man's words made Liu Yi can't help but fight a cold war.

"Isn't that tantamount to rebellion?" Liu Yi said helplessly.

"yes...... Once this is done, there are only two outcomes: independence, and annihilation by the imperial army, which is too dangerous no matter how you look at it. ”

"In that case, old man, you still have such an idea."

"I'm just giving you a choice, it's up to you how to do it." The old man smiled: "There is another way, and that is to endure!" Endure no matter how much pressure and difficulty until the opportunity arises, and that's when you can make a difference. ”

"Shinobi?" Liu Yi felt that this method seemed to be better than rebellion, how long could he endure it? What if I can't take it anymore?

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, it's forbearance!" Those who can achieve great things must be able to endure what others can't bear, not to mention far away, you look at the high ban in the imperial capital now, how did he get to the top of power, doesn't it also rely on a forbearance word? ”

The old man's words made Liu Yi fall into deep thought, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

A few days later, an event shocked Aqiu, as the Provisional Governing Council was disbanded, along with the Aqiu militia.

The people of Yaqiu immediately blew up, and everyone's reaction was not only shocked or shocked, but even many people did not believe that it was true, and thought that someone was deliberately spreading rumors.

Soon after, however, the Interim Management Committee of Yaqiu posted a video announcement on the Internet, officially announcing to the people of Yaqiu that both the committee and the militia would be disbanded together.

The reason given by the committee was also simple: now that Aqiu had a new governor and a new government, there was no need for the Provisional Council and the militia to continue to exist.

This reason was irrefutable, but unacceptable to the populace, for the general population, the militia had saved Aqiu from the bandits, and the council had led Aqiu on the path to recovery, and they would rather not have a governor than agree to it.

Many Yaqiu people gathered in front of the hotel where the committee was located, shouting that the committee would not be disbanded, but there was no longer half a person in the committee.

In fact, this decision was made a few days ago, and after some persuasion by Liu Yi, several members of the committee finally agreed to Liu Yi's proposal.

After that, the committee began to prepare for its dissolution, and by the day it was announced, the committee had actually completed its dissolution and all that remained was to release the news.

The people appealed for a long time, but the committee never showed up, and now everyone finally knew that the committee was really disbanded, and the matter was irreversible.

The frustrated populace began to turn the finger on Governor Ding Kai, and a large crowd poured into the door of the hotel where Ding Kai lived, shouting for Ding Kai to get out of Yaqiu and return the committee to Yaqiu!

With no one to maintain order, the crowd protesting against Ding Kai grew, and as many as thousands of people surrounded the hotel and demanded that Ding Kai come out and explain the situation.

At this time, Ding Kai was still in the imperial capital, and few people in Yaqiu knew that at this time, people waited for a long time and did not see Ding Kai appear, so anger began to brew.

Many people thought that Ding Kai was deliberately hiding from everyone, although the hotel came forward to explain that Ding Kai was not in Yaqiu, but people didn't believe it at all.

A few years ago, Ding Kai left the people and fled when the robbers attacked, and now the people believe that Ding Kai either didn't dare to show his face, or he slipped away again, in short, he was an untrustworthy guy.

The angry crowd became bigger and bigger, threatening to smash the hotel, and the person in charge of the hotel was so frightened that if the hotel was really smashed, I don't know how many lives would be killed.

So the person in charge of the hotel hurriedly came to find Lu Gang, and Lu Gang said that he couldn't do anything, so many people who made trouble were more than people from the army, and it was impossible to disperse unless they sent out the armored troops.

The person in charge of the hotel saw that the army didn't care about this matter, so he had to come to Liu Yi again, and Liu Yi said that the militia had been disbanded and he had no choice. The person in charge of the hotel was so anxious that he cried, sitting in Liu Yi's office and not leaving, he had to ask Liu Yi to give him an idea.

Liu Yi said helplessly to the person in charge of the hotel: "If you make trouble with me, I can't help it." But seeing that you are so unlucky, I will show you a clear way, you go to the ghost mastiff group. ”

The person in charge of the hotel immediately stopped crying and asked suspiciously: "Is it really useful to find the ghost mastiff group?" ”

"How did you forget? The Ghost Mastiff Regiment was invited by the Governor, so didn't they come just to deal with an emergency? Liu Yi said.

The person in charge of the hotel didn't know the inside story between the militia and the ghost mastiff group, and now he was also sick and went to the hospital, so he ran to the station of the ghost mastiff group without thinking about it.

When they arrived at the location of the Mastiff Troupe, the person in charge of the hotel explained to Lei Kun his intentions, hoping that the Ghost Mastiff Regiment would come forward to maintain law and order and help drive away the troublesome crowd.

Although Lei Kun is a vicious person, he doesn't dare to make decisions casually when he encounters this kind of thing, not to mention that Ding Kai specially explained before leaving, don't make trouble.

If Lei Kun usually would not have paid attention to this matter, but he had also heard the news of the disbandment of the militia in the past few days, and at this time, there was a major incident of the people surrounding the governor's residence, and Lei Kun felt the need to report this matter to Ding Kai.

Ding Kai was also stunned when he heard about this, the good local committee and militia were suddenly disbanded, and the big trouble in his heart suddenly disappeared, so what did he come to the imperial capital for?

After being stunned for a while, Ding Kai didn't understand what was happening to Yaqiu, but the riot situation in front of him couldn't be dealt with.

After some ideological struggle, Ding Kai finally nodded and agreed, and the ghost mastiff group came forward to maintain law and order and put down the riot as soon as possible.
