Chapter 306: The Qin Group
Meanwhile. Li Zhen also got on the steam car and prepared to go to the parachute mountain of Dafengtai.
It was already a makeshift airport, with airships and hot air balloons, etc., all stopping and landing there.
Just as he was about to board the bus, a young man selling newspapers appeared on the street, holding a pile of newspapers in his hand, and shouted excitedly:
"Big news, big news."
"Du Tianzi was assassinated at six o'clock this morning, and the situation is unknown!"
"Extra, extra. Du Tianzi ascended the throne for one month and was assassinated. The situation is unknown! β
ββ¦β¦β
The moment that voice roared out, Li Zhen almost stumbled. Everyone in the same car stopped at the same time and looked at the newspaper seller in shock.
Li Zhen took a deep breath: "...... so fast"
Liu Jinghong snorted: "No." It's a blockade, they even printed a newspaper? β
Li Zhen asked, "What time is it?" β
"Nine o'clock."
Li Zhen squinted his eyes and counted the time, he was assassinated at six o'clock, and at nine o'clock in the morning, the newspapers came out. It's not ordinary. It's like it was prepared in advance, and the feeling of printing the newspaper is not the same as that of the killer, and the newspaper began to be printed when the killer got his hands on it.
"Master Li......" Liu Jinghong wanted to speak and stopped.
They're not stupid.
Li Zhen shook his head and muttered, "Get on the airship first." β
"Let's go."
The 'woo' steam convoy rushed to Dafengtai under heavy escort.
Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen, Qi stunned and rode a horse and followed closely behind.
Same as Li Zhen and others.
When the three of them came out, they also saw newspapers selling in the streets and alleys, all of them outside the nickname. The streets were filled with shocked discussions about Du Taiping's assassination.
The three of them, like Li Zhen, all widened their eyes.
Rao is a relatively simple-minded person like Qi Stunned, and when he saw this scene, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
And Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen glanced at each other, but they were silent, secretly thinking about something.
Uncanny.
Today's day is so weird.
It's weird and blinding. Scratching your head.
Parachute mountain, wait for Jia Liping and Ding Zhenzhen to arrive.
A fleet of more than a dozen airships immediately took off without making any stops. Except for the main ship, all the rest of the airships were fully loaded with people from the special operations group.
And now there are almost fifty or sixty airships in Laoshan, and the speed at which everyone makes airships is very fast, and the scale of the air force is expanding rapidly. Requisitioning a dozen airships at a time is also not a big deal.
When the airship flew into the air at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and then moved forward steadily, Jia Liping walked up to Li Zhen with a cup of hot tea and was a little frightened: "Master Li......"
The airship moved forward smoothly without a trace of shaking, and the tea in Jia Liping's hand didn't throw out much.
Li Zhen glanced at him: "Sit down." Talk about your thoughts. β
After Jia Liping sat down, he was a little silent, obviously he had a lot to say, but after finding Li Zhen, he didn't know how to speak. The tea in the cup was all drunk, and he never said a word.
Li Zhen always looked at the scenery below and didn't urge him.
In the entire airship, everyone stared at the two of them, and everyone pricked up their ears. There was silence in the airship, except for the roar of the engines in the rear cabin, and there was no sound at all.
After a long time, Jia Liping put down the teacup and sighed on his back:
"Master Li, it's useless to talk too much. Jia Liping is willing to accept the organization's punishment. β
As soon as these words came out, all the people who were the leaders of the entire airship were shocked, and they all looked at Jia Liping with some shock.
What does this mean?
Is it so single? Straight plead?
But after thinking about it again, everyone can understand Jia Liping's helplessness and despair.
Jia Liping, he can't help it.
The 10,000-year-old consortium has done all this, and there is no room for relaxation. Then it is clear that it is going to oppose the government.
If you put it in the past, there are many more solutions.
But now, there is no way to do it. Everyone knows it in the streets and alleys.
The assassination of the Son of Heaven is not the first case of this kind in history, but it has not happened in the land of Kyushu for thousands of years. This is not just explosive news, this is simply unbelievable news. There is no need to think about the speed of transmission, now some capable people can play radio, and tomorrow, the whole of Shinkyushu will know everything.
The whole country knows about it. Then the matter is a big deal.
If this matter is tightly sealed, it may be possible to choose to solve it secretly. The government is forcibly suppressing the 10,000-year-old consortium, or the government swallows its anger and changes the sky and puts this matter aside for the time being. There are many ways to deal with it.
But now there is no way. There is only one way left for New Kyushu, to eliminate the 10,000-year consortium.
Today is the news of the attack on the Son of Heaven, and tomorrow it will be the news of the negotiations between the 10,000-year-old consortium and the government. Everyone is not stupid, and they know why Du Taiping was assassinated this time with their eyes closed.
So if the government doesn't immediately clean up the 10,000-year-old consortium, what will the people of New Kyushu think?
Our government is so weak? Forced a group of businessmen to the point where they don't even dare to fart? Then this country still has the prestige of a fart, and the common people still recognize you as a hammer national government.
But can you really pack up the 10,000-year-old consortium so hastily?
It is not an exaggeration to say it, among the seven people of the 10,000-year consortium, any capital that slips out can catch up with the treasury of the new Kyushu government. The capital of seven people combined...... To put it irresponsibly, if it weren't for Li Zhen and the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. The establishment of the new government had nothing to do with Du Taiping and Xun Shifei. There is nothing to do with the Kyushu Party at all.
Is this what you can pack?
This kind of predator must think of complete countermeasures before moving. Not to mention the seven predators.
If you really pack it all up, it's not impossible. The new Kyushu government has military powers, they don't. Arrest people directly, coercive syndicates cease to operate, and forcibly confiscate property. It's not authentic to say, but it's not impossible.
The problem is that the seven major groups are deeply rooted in Dongzhou, and they were still held by Li Zhen before. Once the seven groups come to a standstill, the pain will not be alleviated by the newly established government of New Kyushu.
So why did Li Zhen want the government to intervene instead of leaving it all to the government. On the one hand, it is necessary to check and balance capital and the state, and the other reason is that this matter cannot be painful.
It can only be slowly eaten, digested slowly, and imperceptibly. If the speed is a little faster, it will not be something that New Kyushu can afford.
Always remember the phrase, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult.
As soon as the new Kyushu was established, the common people lived a good life. Especially the people of Dongzhou. Especially the capitalists.
But once this kind of good life is gone for the time being, the people at the bottom can tear the country upside down. It's not hypocrisy, it's a sense of disparity.
Since you have a good life, you can only make everyone's life better. If it doesn't go well, it's going to be a big problem.
And at this time, the 10,000-year consortium can't be moved, and it can't settle the matter. There is no second way to go.
Jia Liping thought of this problem, he was desperate, but at this time, someone had to come out to carry the tripod. That is, back the pot.
If we say that to deal with this contradiction, it is necessary to catch a scapegoat. There is no better fit than Jia Liping......
The people don't know what's going on, but there is no doubt that the government would kill Jia Liping. The anger of the people has definitely subsided.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the entire airship became extremely gloomy. Even the pilot of the airship in front of him was trembling at this time, and subconsciously slowed down.
The sad mood of the fox and the rabbit began to spread among the airships.
I used to say that a companion is like a tiger, the clichΓ© political whirlpool, the political whirlpool, the capital fangs that Li Zhen often talks about. Everyone has never taken it to heart, and this group of people who are engaged in science have never thought how cruel politics and capital are.
It wasn't until today, when Jia Liping took the initiative to say this, that everyone's hearts suddenly beat and their blood was cold.
Not cruelty.
It's bloody and ruthless.
Jia Liping's body was trembling, and tears were falling down. To be alive, who wants to die?
Jia Liping is so young and has great ambitions for the future. He definitely doesn't want to die, but as long as he carries this pot, there is no second choice but to die. He does not regret being in charge of the 10,000-year-old consortium, nor does he resent that he was responsible for this pot in the end.
He was just desperate and helpless.
There is no way to do it......
Ding Zhenzhen sat in the back, wanting to speak and stopping, but couldn't say a word after all. The smooth face was full of crystal tears.
Jia Liping is her classmate and colleague, and now the matter has not happened, and it has ended up like this. Heartache and helplessness.
Everyone was silent, Jia Liping's sobs became louder and louder, and finally, crying, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhen:
"Master Li, I'm ashamed of you. I don't want to die, but I have to. β
Whimpering spreads. Li Zhen kept looking out the window.
After a long time, Li Zhen looked at Jia Liping and said softly, "Sit down." β
"Hmm."
Jia Liping wiped his tears and sat back down.
Li Zhen looked at the deputy captain who had always lowered his head, didn't dare to speak, and didn't dare to look around: "Send a report to Quancheng County." β
"Yes."
"Q, where was Du Taiping attacked? I was shot three times in the body, how was my life? β
"Yes."
After more than twenty minutes, the co-captain shouted, "Call back." β
"Read."
"At six o'clock this morning, Du Taiping came out of his residence and was attacked at the entrance of the Kyoto City Hall. Shot once by each of the three masked men. They are, thighs, shoulders, arms. Now there is no need for life. β
Li Zhen sat up straight suddenly, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.
At the entrance of Kyoto City Hall? What are you kidding, what is that place? It was the political center of the new Kyushu, and its status was comparable to that of the former Kyushu Imperial Palace. Can you think about the former Son of Heaven who was assassinated in the palace? It's impossible.
Besides, what is Du Taiping's identity, the security around him is like a cloud. Three people can attack so hastily and successfully?
Even if the attack is successful, it means that the killer is capable. But three people with such great ability, all three shots missed? None of the three killers took Du Taiping's life? Are you kidding?
And what kind of injury is this, it doesn't hurt or itch. Thighs, arms, shoulders. Not a single lethal one.
At this time, the deputy captain said, "There is another telegram." β
"Read."
"The murderer has been caught, and after the killer confessed: it is a member of the Qin Group."
As soon as these words came out, the people on the airship immediately subconsciously let out a 'hmm' sound.
Jia Liping's crying face instantly bloomed with a smile, and he laughed wildly: "Hahaha." It seems that my life has been saved. β
Li Zhen glanced at him: "What can't be saved, no one plans to let you take the blame." Don't think about it in the future. β
After speaking, a very complicated smile appeared in Li Zhen's eyes, and the truth was revealed.
Du Taiping's hand is a little vicious.
Qin's Group?
One of the members of the 10,000-year consortium ranks sixth out of seven in terms of wealth and influence.
