Chapter 216 Alive, Still Lying
"People like them are the most precious treasure of the Empire."
"And the biggest danger, they have to be controlled." Ma Yisheng on the side said, his tone was very decisive.
"As always, I don't know how to be flexible and unemotional." Xu Qi said with a smile. "Let's go. I want to meet Wang An."
"Okay, it's approaching the end of the New Year, so it's time to go and pay New Year's greetings to others."
Then Xu Qi took Ma Yisheng to Wang An's hometown, and when he saw Wang An, he was washing dishes at home, like a good family man, Wang An wiped his hands casually.
"This is Director Ma Yisheng from the capital." Xu Qi introduced.
"Hello, I've heard of the name for a long time." Ma Yisheng looked at Wang An. At first glance, except for the appearance is quite pleasing to the eye and the eyes are restrained, there seems to be nothing special about it.
"Hello." Wang An smiled.
Hearing that the guests were coming, the two old men showed up and said hello to the two of them. Wang An invited the two into the house and made a pot of tea.
"Tea." "Thank you." "Something?"
"It's Director Ma who wants to see you." Xu Qi said.
"I have a few questions for Mr. Wang." Ma Yisheng answered, he came here with a mission, and the core of the task is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Wang An in front of him, judge his danger, the possibility and feasibility of being absorbed.
"Please." Wang An took a sip of tea and sat on the sofa casually.
"Mr. Wang is a special adviser to the Special Affairs Bureau, what is his impression of the Special Affairs Bureau?"
"The current impression is pretty good."
"If one day, the Special Affairs Bureau needs Mr. Wang's help, is Mr. Wang willing to help without violating the principle?"
"It depends." Wang An replied very directly and tactfully at all.
"Mr. Wang thinks that if a person's ability is extraordinarily strong, should he be above the law?" This question sounds a bit harsh, and it seems to be very pertinent.
Xu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this question, and turned his head to look at Ma Yisheng, "Good guy, you dare to ask anything!"
"In principle, it shouldn't be, but in fact, there are some powerful people who are themselves above the law, aren't they?" Wang An asked rhetorically.
"Some people don't have to pay for their lives when they kill someone, they can find a scapegoat to impersonate their names, and they can still be happy.
Some people take advantage of their positions to easily earn money that others can't earn in a few lifetimes or even dozens of lifetimes. What do you think about these things?" Wang An's tone was very calm, staring directly at Ma Yisheng.
"The situation you are talking about does exist, and the relevant departments of the empire are also changing."
"Your special affairs bureau should deal with special matters, maintain social stability, protect the interests of the empire and the lives of the people, not a tool for power struggle."
"Words reveal dissatisfaction with certain strata of the empire, presumably thinking that they are above the law." Ma Yisheng said in his heart.
"Tea."
Ma Yisheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"What would Mr. do if someone threatened him?"
"Threat? Who, where?" Wang An asked rhetorically.
"I mean what if."
"I also said, I want to know who the other party is and where it is." "And then?"
"Find him and talk to him." Wang An said calmly. "Understood." Ma Yisheng nodded.
"Find the other party and kill the other party." He had already heard the meaning of Wang An's words. "What level does Mr. Wang think Kung Fu can eventually cultivate?"
"I don't know." Wang An shook his head.
"Invulnerable, climb the water, hold the iron into mud, crack the ground and open the mountain, live forever, and break the void." Ma Yisheng uttered some words that often appear in martial arts.
"Didn't you think that Director Ma is also a hobbyist?" Wang An said with a smile, and Ma Yisheng smiled. "Sir has heard about Choi Daochang, right?"
"I've heard of it."
"Sir, will you think that Choi Daochang is too pity?"
"Of course, it's a pity, it's not easy to cultivate to his point." Wang An said bluntly, "Some people really deserve to be killed.
"Looking at the breezy and approachable, he is actually a decisive master." Ma Yisheng said in his heart after hearing this.
"What is the current state of Mr. Wang's cultivation, if it is inconvenient to answer, then forget it." "Realm, how to say it, I have practiced true qi, and I know a little bit of the use of true qi."
"The amount of true qi should be quite a lot, and I have mastered the use of true qi proficiently." Ma Yisheng continued to make up in the brain.
"What kind of fist did the gentleman practice?"
"Tai Chi, Xingyi, Zen palm, practice is a bit miscellaneous." "Sir didn't practice the blade?"
"Okay, that's all for today, I won't leave two of you to eat, please." Wang An interrupted Ma Yisheng's questioning and sent off the guests with a smile.
"Excuse me, sir." The two of them got up and said goodbye and left.
"How do you feel?" After the two of them got into the car, Xu Qi did not rush to drive but opened the window, lit a cigarette, and asked Ma Yisheng on the side.
"I think you still seem to have a master's degree in psychology, how about it, what conclusions did you come to from the conversation just now?"
"Now the only thing that can bind that Mr. Wang is family affection, right?" Ma Yisheng was silent for a moment before saying this.
"Well, you've seen it thoroughly." Xu Qi said with a smile.
"The existence of those two old men is a kind of restraint for him, a kind of protection for us, there is family affection, he is still a "person", and he will have scruples. Without family affection, you think that you can use anything to restrain such people, and you can only rely on himself to restrain himself.
Just like in the mythological story, do the rules and regulations of heaven work for the Emperor of Heaven, do they work for the Buddha, and do they work for the Sanqing Tianzun?
Cultivators know the point of reaching the pinnacle, and the only one who can restrain them is themselves." Xu Qi exhaled a cigarette.
"That's why the Empire will speed up the progress of the secret project, and we need to cultivate talents who are loyal to the Empire."
"People are not puppets, they have their own independent thoughts and personalities, how are you going to repay this?" "I'll tell you the truth." Ma Yisheng said.
"Okay." Xu Qi snuffed out the cigarette butt and still put it in the small garbage bag in the car, then lit the fire, and the car moved forward slowly.
"I think his cultivation is likely to have surpassed that of Daoist Cui back then." Ma Yisheng suddenly said such a sentence.
Xu Qi braked after hearing this, the car stopped suddenly, and turned his head to stare at Ma Yisheng who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"How so?"
"Through the combination of his words, when I mentioned Daoist Cui Daochang, his tone, his demeanor, he seemed to know how far that Daoist Cui had cultivated, without the slightest surprise, without longing, very calm eyes, only people standing in a higher place can have such eyes."
"Taller than Dao Choi?!" Xu Qi was silent for a long time before starting the car and slowly leaving. Two days later, Xu Qi and Lu Xiangyi visited again, and their faces were very ugly. "Ma Yisheng had an accident on the way back, and the person is dead."
"Who did it?" Wang An was also a little surprised when he heard this. When I came, I was fine, but when I went back, there were no people.
"It's still under investigation, the cause of death was a punch that shattered the sternum, clean and sharp, a master, and a spearhead was pointed at you."
People came to investigate Wang An, and there was an accident on the way back, as long as they were in their right minds, they would suspect Wang An.
"Could it be someone from the Zheng family?"
"It's hard to say, but I don't think it's likely, they won't be so mad, and Ma Yisheng's status in the Special Affairs Bureau is not low."
"What are you going to do?"
"There's a discussion going on, and there's already a proposal to send in a special force." Lu Xiangyi said.
"Special forces?" Wang An looked up at the calendar card hanging on the wall. There are still twelve days left for the New Year. "Excuse me two things."
"You say."
"One, if they come in a special unit and help me protect the two old men." "Definitely." Lu Xiangyi nodded.
"Second, after the New Year, I want to spend the New Year in peace." "Good!"
"Sir, we'll do our best to resolve this matter." "Thank you."
The sky was a little overcast when the two men left, and it seemed like it was going to snow. The two people in the car were in a solemn mood.
"What is the probability that special forces will be dispatched this time?"
"More than 60 percent, some of them have successfully cultivated True Qi, which gives them a lot of confidence, and coupled with the fact that they have been researching ways to deal with such a master over the years, I am afraid that they are desperate to find an actual opponent to try."
"I think it's more than 80 percent likely!" Lu Xiangyi said worriedly, "What do you think the result will be?"
"The result depends on how high Mr.'s cultivation is, if his cultivation is similar to that Cui Daochang, I estimate that the result is not optimistic, and it is likely to be a lose-lose situation.
They have studied for so many years, and there must be some methods, but how many of them have seen the methods of that Cui Daochang back then?
If it weren't for the fact that Daoist Cui was unwilling to kill again and was bent on death, all the people who participated in the encirclement and suppression would have died on the mountain.
The most effective way to kill him is to raze that mountain to the ground in a short time with artillery fire."
Lu Xiangyi sighed after hearing this, he was really worried about Wang An this time, how could he fight against the huge imperial team alone.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this all of a sudden. What we can do now is delay as much time as possible, and find the real killer as quickly as possible.
There are not many people who know the route of Ma Yisheng's itinerary, and according to the on-site analysis, Ma Yisheng was punched in the heart without defense.
It is likely that he was poisoned first and lost his ability to resist.
The other party's purpose in doing this is obviously to set up a blame, and the two of us are also the targets of investigation." Xu Qi said.
"It's not a small plan, it's a big game of chess!"
The snow began to fall near evening, and it did not stop all night, and by the next day, the courtyard outside was covered with snow.
Wang An got up early and cleared the snow out of the yard, and it didn't take long for a thin layer to fall.
The snow had been falling for two days, and he didn't go anywhere, so he quietly chatted with the two old people at home, or quietly drove the snowflakes in the sky by himself.
After the snow stopped, he went to the county town to buy some New Year's goods, and then went to Yuxiao Mountain to take the monkey back to his home. The arrival of the monkey was very pleasing to the two old men.
Thousands of miles away in the capital, there is no special affairs bureau, and a meeting is being held. At the round table, there were several people, some drinking tea and some smoking.
"I agreed to send a special force to take Wang An back to the capital, and ask carefully, Yisheng can't just be so unexplained."
"What if he doesn't agree?"
"If you don't agree, bring his body back, the prestige of the Special Affairs Bureau cannot be challenged, not once!" "The lesson of Qingshan back then was bloody."
"This time is different from the past, our special forces already have two people whose skills are not under Cui Laodao back then, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, we have to send them out to experience it, I think this Wang An is a good training target."
"Let's raise your hands and vote!" ......
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the Spring Festival, and the family got together to watch the party, eat dumplings, and be happy, and the monkey was also very happy.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xu Qi and Lu Xiangyi visited again and brought the news they didn't want to say. "The special operations force will leave the capital in two days, and they will take him back to the capital."
Ugly words Xu Qi didn't say what he knew was.
"If Wang An cooperates, he will go to the capital alive, and if he doesn't, then it will be his corpse that enters the capital."
「
I'll wait for them at Yuxiao Mountain." Wang An didn't react much after hearing this, the whole person was still very calm, as if he had expected it to be like this.
"Sir should prepare in advance, the one who comes is not good." Wang An nodded, "Thank you."
"Well, how did things get to this point?" After coming out of Wang An's house, Lu Xiangyi sighed.
It was a sharp turn for the worse, and it was beyond their expectations.
"I always feel like there's a big invisible hand behind me pushing all of this secretly, and his purpose is sir." Lu Xiangyi said, "Forced him to be cornered, and then took refuge in them?"
"Yes." Xu Qi nodded.
But they searched for so many days and found nothing.
Ma Yisheng's itinerary was fine, and when he was back in the capital, he stopped by to visit an old classmate who was seriously ill and stayed for an extra day.
He did not tell anyone about this beforehand, but on the day of his stay, he was killed in the hotel where he was staying.
The other party obviously came prepared, and during the time period when he had an accident, all the surveillance in the hotel was destroyed, and the other party found his location very accurately, and then killed him.
Obviously, his whereabouts have been determined a long time ago, and it is very likely that he was following all the way and taking advantage of his inattention to kill the killer.
In the old mansion, Wang An sat on a chair and quietly looked at the sky outside, with a monkey on the side.
"Xiaohou, I'll go out in two days, you stay at home, help me take care of grandpa and grandma, don't let others hurt them."
The monkey nodded solemnly.
"Come on, one punch before a hundred punches come!"
