The Dark Ages Chapter 40 Behind the Locust Plague
On the way to the real yàn room, I received a phone call from the deputy director of the Kyoto General Bureau, Song, who sued me, saying that the General Administration had received a complaint here, saying that our special service team had caused the death of a newly recruited staff member of the provincial bureau, and the explanation given was very far-fetched, according to the evidence of the later investigation by the local department, most of my accounts were not verified by the actual thing, they suspected that I had concealed something in this, and said that no matter what, the explanation of the central working group for the death of that person was too far-fetched. Ask me what the hell is going on?
I sighed, although the General Administration and the major regions and provincial bureaus all belong to the vertical management model, but the central government has the position of the central government, and the localities have local demands, and it is impossible to achieve harmony between the upper and lower groups.
At the beginning, we were in the Southern Province, even with the full cooperation of the local authorities, but there was no progress for more than a month, and the above also thought of transferring us back.
In short, the court is treacherous, the slightest carelessness will be caught by the opponent, into a place of no return, although like us in the front line of the fight is safer, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fork, because the matter involves fat girls, at this moment I no longer have a perfunctory mentality before departure, I will definitely be able to track down, so I quickly explained the matter to Deputy Director Song, learned the whole thing, Deputy Director Song was silent for a long time, and then said to me: "Zhicheng, I understand, I'll help you keep this down, but you have to get a result, or else."
I heard Deputy Director Song say strictly, and I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Song Tou'er, what's wrong, why are you talking weird?" "
Deputy Director Song is a pragmatic official who followed the veteran Wang Hongqi of the General Administration, and I have dealt with him for many years, I am familiar with each other, know myself and the other, and am also very affectionate, after all, it is not a lifeless central organ, so we usually use the close name above the rivers and lakes, which can be seen from the fact that I always call him "Song Touer", but he hesitated so much today, I felt some bad signs.
Sure enough, when I asked this, he didn't hide it from me, but said to me earnestly: "Zhicheng, since the establishment of the special service team, you have always been the number one general within my jurisdiction, we are familiar with each other, and I will not hide all some things from you. Not a single living mouth, too violent, so"
Deputy Director Song suddenly stopped talking and didn't say more, and I fell into silence, indeed, after I was kidnapped by Cheng Yang last time, because I had too much fire in my heart, and I also fell into Li Cang's calculations, so that among the more than fifty people present, none of them could survive, no matter who this matter rested on, people would be suspected of whether it was too demonic.
I heard Deputy Director Song stop talking, and said with a wry smile: "Song Tou'er, let's finish the words at once, don't worry, I won't be passive and slack off." "
Deputy Director Song said "um", and then said: "In addition to these, there are also people who point out that the exercises you practice, in addition to the orthodox Maoshan Dao method, seem to have some hidden magic skills. You know, although our department is now in an inclusive and open attitude, after all, the mainstream thinking is still swayed by those famous and decent ideas, so some people have suggested that the reason why you are so fierce is because of the practice of demonic skills, and there have always been people who want to transfer you out of the front line, so you need to be extra careful. "
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, if you withdraw me, can those tricky and scheming guys in the political department come up and do some practical things?
Deputy Director Song also said with a wry smile on the other end of the phone: "Zhicheng, you know, the national situation is like this, and there is no way to do it, after all, for such a special department, it is not possible to do it without supervision after all." Your achievements, not only me, but also the big guys above actually see it in their eyes, and the report of the political department was also suppressed by Boss Wang himself, but you know that the above is not something that Boss Wang can make a decision, and there are other people."
Deputy Director Song's "other people", I know that I am actually referring to those guys in high positions in the Longhu Mountain lineage, my performance has been excellent over the years, but it seems that Zhao Chengfeng, who is also out of Longhu Mountain, is too mediocre, if I can be pulled down from the front line, this is actually the most beneficial to Zhao Chengfeng's career, and it can also suppress the expansion of Maoshan Yilin's influence in the court.
The officialdom is dangerous, I know that Deputy Director Song is also a good intention, and hurriedly thanked him, after hanging up the phone, the car also rushed to the front of the building where the real yàn room is located, I hurriedly got out of the car with Lin Hao and left, Zhang Liyun was waiting at the door, saw me coming, and hurriedly came forward to say hello, and led the way. I followed him all the way to the elevator and asked what the hell had happened to make such a hurry? Zhang Liyun said with a wry smile: "Technical things, let Ayi Ziluo tell you, she is a teacher, one set, I feel dizzy when I listen to it." "
I stopped talking, waited for the elevator to stop, all the way to the real yàn room, pushed the door in, but saw the short woman with big pigtails was wearing a white coat, looking at the microscope intently, heard Zhang Liyun say that I was coming, nodded at me, and said: "Team Leader Chen, you wait, I'll talk about this specimen after processing." "
I nodded, not disturbing her work, and looked at the creature's room.
This is not the place of the city bureau, but it is seconded from a biological research institute through Guò Guanguan, there are a lot of precision equipment in it, the area is as large as two classrooms, divided into large and small rooms, and in this hall where we are, the operating table is full of all kinds of specimens, some are glassware, there are crystals, solutions and various forms It can be seen that Aiziluo is indeed very level, and it is very different from the Gu master I imagined.
Compared with traditional Gu cultivators, Ayi Ziluo is more like an expert and scholar who conducts research through scientific methods, turning the mysterious and weird Gu poison into something more intuitive.
After four or five minutes of busyness, Ayizilo put down what he was doing, took out a document from under the workbench and handed it to me, I looked down and hurriedly looked at it, it was composed of various pictures and table statistics, and then heard her explain to me: "Locusts belong to the locust family of orthoptera insects, there are many species, there are more than 10,000 species in the world, but they can be roughly divided into long-horned locusts and short-horned locusts, and there are several species such as East Asian flying locusts, red queen locusts, Taiwan giant locusts, and rice locusts that are common in our country. However, I have been studying and analyzing the locusts that appeared in the Dongying locust plague in the past few days, and I have found that the locusts that have broken out this time do not belong to any known flying locusts -- in short, it is a new type of locust that has never been discovered before! "
I nodded noncommittally, for the news that a biologist would have been thrilled by the discovery of a new species, but it was not in my interest, and if it had been so, it would have not intrigued me.
Seeing that I was indifferent, Aizilo frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with my attitude, but he continued: "You look at this enlarged photo, the ordinary locust has six legs, the body is divided into three parts: head, chest, and abdomen, and there are two pairs of wings on the chest, the forewings are, and the hindwings are membranous, but the flying locust found this time has seven legs, and we found that there is an extra arthropod on its head, which is very rare, and I have been studying it for the past few days, until today, I finally found something."
After speaking, she took off the rubber gloves in her hands, formed a strange magic seal in her hands, and continued to recite the words, when a centipede-like fiery red worm crawled from her chest, and swam down her white skin to her arm.
This sudden little insect startled me, subconsciously squinted and looked, maybe I felt my hostility, the upper body of the little insect suddenly straightened up, a pair of sesame big red eyes glared at me, glowing with evil light, Ayi Ziluo hurriedly comforted the little insect, slender fingers stroked the body of the insect several times, the little insect obediently walked from her palm, came to a vessel in front of the operating table.
There were more than a dozen locust carcasses in the vessel, and the small worms were biting one bite at a time, and Ayiziro explained to me beside him: "This red centipede Gu of mine can refine and purify most of the biological toxins, and I found that there is a new type of toxin in those extra arthropods."
Before she could finish her sentence, the fiery red worm spit out a drop of turquoise liquid on the glass slide next to her, and then Ayiziro told me a lot of toxins, which made me dizzy for a while, and finally she came to a conclusion: "So I believe that the ultimate goal of this locust plague is to artificially create a large number of poisonous sources, so as to provide food for some kind of Gu worm, and according to this scale, I am afraid that that kind of Gu worm will not be too simple."
I heard her talk about it, and suddenly thought of the golden light that shot into the fat girl's throat, and hurriedly mentioned it to her, after hearing my description, Ayi Ziluo's face changed drastically, and his hand subconsciously held the operating table, and said in horror: "Oh my God, that person can't refine the Golden Silkworm Gu, right?"
