Chapter 254: Adding fuel to the fire
Yoshihiro Takeda's video also caused a strong response in the Dongying Spiritual Master world.
The low-level spirit transporters empathized with each other, and posted short videos and wrote commemorative articles one after another, using this form to secretly poke at the family of soul transporters who rode on their heads with yin and yang as a prestige and fortune, and the committee that was willing to be a lackey for the family.
And more and more people are starting to secretly conspire.
A low-level group of spiritualists called the Guild quietly appeared, with the slogan of uniting against exploitation, and partnering against the brutal oppression of the family and the committee.
In the beginning, their main means of resistance was to refuse to pay money, and if the committee pursued it, they helped each other to cover their whereabouts and avoid pursuit and extortion.
But this approach soon proved to be unfeasible.
Because all the low-level spirit carriers are the objects of exploitation, those who provide cover eventually have to face the situation of being forced to pay money, which eventually leads to all the spirit carriers within the guild becoming fugitives, and they have no home to return to, so they can only rely on those non-members of the guild who have honestly paid money to cover up.
This made the non-communal members who had honestly paid the money complain.
But anyone who pays the money honestly can still get by, thinking that it would be good to endure it a little longer, but now they have to take a huge risk to cover for those who refuse to pay, which is unacceptable both psychologically and realistically.
After all, things that harm oneself and benefit others, under the premise of lacking a more cohesive big goal and big slogan, basically no one will do it.
This evasion quickly escalated into a violent confrontation that quickly grew from refusing to pay and fighting to aggressively attacking committee staff who went out to grab money.
In just two weeks, such attacks have spread everywhere in the fast-wave area, with nearly half of the committee's staff injured and hundreds seriously hospitalized, and the remaining half being so dangerous that they dare not even go out.
At this time, there were only four days left before the plenary meeting of the Edo Committee.
In such a situation, it is likely that there will be an embarrassing situation in which no one is present at the plenary meeting.
When the time comes, the rebuilt Edo Committee will lose face.
It is even more impossible to use this as an excuse to expel the four standing committee members of the Nakono region who did not attend the meeting, unless all those who did not attend the meeting were really expelled.
Under these circumstances, the people of Mitosawa urgently convened a meeting of the families of the Sholang area, at which they agreed to unify their opinions and characterize the situation in front of them as secretly stirring up sabotage in the Nakono area, in order to keep the status of the four standing committee members.
The participating families unanimously agreed to crack down on this act of terrorism, and that each of them would send combat forces and form a joint force to suppress and suppress the Sholang area in order to ensure that the plenary meeting of the Edo Committee would be held as scheduled.
After the families came up with the resolution, the Mitosawa people took the resolution and arranged for the Standing Committee to pass the resolution.
However, when the Standing Committee meeting was convened, there was a slight mistake.
The four airborne commissioners from Haicheng and Bangkok did not agree with this plan of force suppression, first, the committee has always regarded itself as representing the interests of the low-level spirit carriers, even if it is no longer represented by the fact now, but it has never been such a large-scale suppression of the bottom, and if it is spread, it will affect the image of the Edo Committee, and then endanger the image of the Global Committee; Second, this practice of directly using force without asking the root cause can easily exacerbate contradictions and lead to the return of what is desired.
The four airborne commissioners believed that it was necessary to engage in contacts and negotiations with the opposition forces represented by the joint association, and to resolve the current contradictions peacefully at the table.
Although Mitozawa was not a member of the Standing Committee or even a member of the committee, he attended the meeting in order to ensure that the action plan could be adopted as quickly as possible.
At this time, listening to the opinions expressed by the four airborne commissioners, I couldn't help but be very angry.
If it weren't for the four of them to renovate and make money, how could it lead to so many things.
What kind of negotiation settlement, can they still spit out the money they have made again?
When the time comes, the committee will not be able to pay back?
No, it should be said that the Sulang family has to pay for it.
If you really want to do this, the family in the Sulang area will be the first to rebel.
If you are forced, you will have to take a second handful, and you will give profits to those low-level spirit masters, so how can you bear it?
Only the gentry's money has always been returned, and the money of the poor ghost is divided into three or seven accounts, how can there be any reason for the family to pay money to the poor ghost?
In this way, where is the prestige of the family's face?
If the people of Mitozawa really dare to ask the family like this, he will not have to do it, the leading brother in the speed wave area.
He then slapped the table on the spot and said that such terrorist acts would never be tolerated, and that it was necessary to crack down on them and ensure that the plenary session was held normally.
Guan Tie and the other four airborne committee members expressed regret over this and abstained all of them when they voted on the ballot.
Because of the absence of the four Standing Committee members of Na Guye and Wei Chaoyang, a total of seven Standing Committee members attended the meeting, four abstained, and the remaining three Standing Committee members of the Sulang region unanimously agreed, and forced the adoption of this note.
The Mitozawa people immediately appointed the standing committee members of the three Sulang areas to form a joint operations department to take charge of the operation.
These three standing committee members happen to be one from each of the three Sulang families.
That night, a combined force of the families poured out of the nest and wantonly arrested the low-level spirit carriers who had participated in the previous violent actions in the Speedy Wave area.
By daybreak, the Edo Commission's temporary detention center was overcrowded, and those who could not fit had to be transferred to cells at the Sumami military base.
On the other hand, the temporary detention center conducted an emergency interrogation of the arrested people, and further explored the situation in order to find out the organizers and main messengers behind the scenes, and to implement the characterization that was discussed at the meeting.
Under Miki, why not ask for it.
After harsh interrogation, the Joint Operations Department quickly uncovered a so-called spy organization sent from the Nakono region and immediately arrested them on a large scale.
It's just that this arrest, the spies are caught more and more, and the implication is getting wider and wider, not only the low-level spirit masters, but also the children of various families, committee staff, it is normal to catch one and involve three or five, but it is not for nothing to pull out a dozen, climbing and framing, retaliation, all kinds of tricks are coming, and even the heads of two small families are involved.
These two heads of the family have a marriage with the family in the ancient wild area, and they are not interested in the ambition of the three families of Sulang to dominate the whole Dongying, and they are not very active in doing anything, and they didn't even send anyone out of this joint operation, but they were bitten out.
The combined forces immediately moved into the two small families to capture the head of the family, and when they encountered resistance, they suffered casualties, and in a fit of rage, they directly destroyed the two small families.
Subsequently, the joint forces found a large amount of evidence of covert communication with the family in the Nakono area in the two houses.
On the LINE of the two heads of the family, there is an exchange of information with the Nakono area, especially in the recent chat logs, revealing a large number of situations in the speed wave area.
The evidence is ironclad, but the two heads of the family firmly denied their notice, only saying that it was a small talk with their in-laws, and if this can also be used as evidence, then open everyone's LINE number to see if anyone has not leaked the secret.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were ugly.
Under the long-term peace, the families in various regions communicate frequently, who doesn't have a few friends in other regions, when chatting, any content may be posted, and if you really have to check it one by one, probably everyone is a spy.
The joint combat unit that carried out the arrest was difficult to ride for a while, and several leaders of the team together simply did not stop doing anything, did not interrogate, and directly killed the two heads of the family, and then divided the floating wealth of the two families together with the action troops, and only reported that the two families were fiercely resisting, and the intention of betrayal was obvious.
It's just that this lie is the most afraid of the video, but now everyone has a mobile phone, and they can shoot wherever they go, and I don't know who filmed the scene of the joint minister's execution of the two heads of the family, and then posted it on social platforms, which is still a global platform, not Dongying's own platform.
As soon as this video came out, the entire Dongying was in an uproar, and everyone in the Sulang area was in danger.
There is even gossip that the three families of Sulang want to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and eradicate the small and medium-sized families.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mitozawa people hurriedly made a public statement, saying that the three families had no such intention, and talked to the heads of the families one by one to appease them, and then went to the temporary joint operations headquarters to prepare to end the repression that clearly exceeded the border.
But when he arrived at the joint operations headquarters, just got out of the car, and was about to walk inside, a guard guarding the door suddenly raised his gun and fired at him.
Fortunately, the good fortune brought by the Mitozawa people was unscathed, and it played a role at this critical moment, although it was a dense shot at close range, which hit him to the point of bleeding all over his body, but it did not hurt the vital point.
The people next to him immediately shot the guards to the ground, and then opened up to send the Mitosawa people to the hospital for rescue.
Mitozawa was not seriously injured and was extremely sober-minded, so he immediately stopped the blind movement of the crowd, insisted that the advanced headquarters go to meet the three standing committee members who were born in the fast wave, and in any case, they must give an order in person to stop the suppression.
If he can't give a clear personal order, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the issue and use his assassination as a pretext to expand the scope of the repression again.
Now he can't believe anyone.
The crowd couldn't resist Mitozawa, so they had to carry him inside.
At the same time, someone dragged the body of the downed guard to clear the way for the Mitozawa people.
But at this moment, the guard suddenly opened his eyes, shouted "For the sake of the Tanajo family", and then pulled the bomb hidden on his body.
The bomb was so powerful that it tore more than a dozen people at the door to pieces on the spot.
The people of Mitosawa did not escape this time.
No matter how good the luck spirit is, there is an upper limit to its ability, and it is impossible to continuously and strongly play a role in a short period of time.
He was blown to pieces from the waist down, leaving only the upper half of his body.
If you are sent to the hospital in time for rescue, you may be able to save your life.
It's just that the entire entrance to the headquarters was blown up, and everyone scattered like frightened birds, and by the time someone had the courage to come back to check the situation, the Mitozawa people were already dead.
The ambitious head of the first family of the fast wave didn't even manage to dominate the fast wave, so he put his life on the line for his ambition.
The heads of the two families, Miyagi and Rakuzumi, were shocked but ambitious, and immediately stood up to preside over the overall situation.
It's just that neither of them is convinced of the other, each has its own opinion, and for a while they can't argue, they simply don't argue, and each set up an assassination and aftermath office, and gives orders to the committee, asking for a thorough investigation at one moment, and ordering all repressive actions to be stopped, and one moment to send it to the Mitozawa people first, and the next time to stop the body first, and then bury it after the investigation is clear.
After all kinds of contradictory orders were given, everyone was at a loss.
As a result, the area was plunged into widespread chaos.
The crackdown is still going on by inertia.
Miyagi and Lezhu are two families vying for power.
There are also disputes within the Mito family over who will inherit the throne of the family.
The Mitozawa people are not very old, and their two sons and one daughter are not minors, so they have not designated an heir.
These two sons and a daughter were born to different mothers.,Mito Zeren suddenly hung up.,The family immediately pushed who inherited the head of the family split.,Two sons and a daughter have a group of people who support it.,It's all related to their mother.,And another part thinks that in this extraordinary period.,Can't set up a child as the head of the house.,So I want to support Mito Zeren's younger brother Mito Naruto as the head of the house.γ
At this time, there was still one day left before the opening of the plenary meeting of the Edo Committee.
The Alliance of the Soul Transporters in the Naguye region sent an elite to launch a surprise attack, annihilating the defense forces set up by the Swift Wave Family at the junction of the two regions, and the vanguard troops marched out of the Swift Wave area, and immediately publicly declared that the three Swift Waves were the source of the troubles in the Dongying Soul Master Realm, and decided to swear to defeat the Swift Wave Three, and welcomed the forces opposing the Three Swift Waves from all over the world to join the alliance and work together to eradicate the Three Swift Waves and restore peace in the Dongying Soul Transporter Realm.
And the leaderless and chaotic Swift Wave region can't even come up with a decent reply.
Both the Miyagi and Rakusumi chiefs asked to speak on behalf of the Sholang region in response to the public accusations of the Nakono area, and wanted the other side to lead troops to the front line to counter the invasion of the Nakono area.
Wei Chaoyang is the Sulang area that he returned to in this situation.
On the day he arrived in Shonan, he did not stop for a moment and went directly to the Edo Commission station.
Although it is a large organization within the committee system that manages the entire Toei region, the families of the Sholang area still regard this institution as a puppet, and from the people of Mitozawa down, they are not interested in changing its location.
Therefore, the residence of the Edo Committee is still the inconspicuous Sanjin courtyard.
Wei Chaoyang got out of the car and walked into the yard, not to mention all kinds of garbage on the ground, and there was no one in sight inside or outside the door, it was completely abandoned.
He had made it to the last of his way in, when he saw an old man dozing off on a chaise longue under the porch.
The main hall door was wide open, the tables and chairs were crooked, and the plaque with the words "Edo Committee" written on it, which should have been hanging next to the door, was thrown on the floor of the lobby indiscriminately, and many footprints were stepped on.
Wei Chaoyang didn't answer the old man, he went straight into the lobby, picked up the solid plaque, brushed off the footprints on the plaque, and hung it back to the door.
The movement of the plaque woke up the dozing old man, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Wei Chaoyang standing in front of the main hall, he couldn't help but be startled, hurriedly turned over and jumped up from the recliner, trotted to the front, and bowed suddenly, "Your Excellency, the chief member, it is rude for your subordinates to fail to greet you." β
Wei Chaoyang looked at the old man twice, and suddenly remembered, "You are the Minister Watanabe of the External Relations Department?" β
"Hai, subordinate Yuichiro Watanabe!"
The old man, who looked as if he was a doorman, quickly bowed again.
Wei Chaoyang asked, "Where are the people here?" β
Yuichiro Watanabe replied, "Some of them followed Koji Mito and the three members of the joint operations headquarters of the suppression operation, and the rest did not dare to stay here and go home. β
Wei Chaoyang asked puzzledly, "Why don't you dare to stay here?" β
Yuichiro Watanabe said with a wry smile: "After the assassination of the head of the Mito family, the attacks on the staff of the committee suddenly increased, and the joint operations command of the suppression operation took away all the combat strength of the committee, and even the security guards guarding the gate were not left. There's not much to do here anyway, so there's no point in keeping it. β
Wei Chaoyang asked, "Then why don't you leave?" β
Yuichiro Watanabe sighed and said: "I'm a lonely old man, where to stay is not to stay, besides, this is also the headquarters of the Edo Committee, at least someone has to guard this stall, otherwise it will be too ugly." β
Wei Chaoyang said: "I remember that you are not from a family? β
In the Edo Committee, where the family controls all the power, it is a miracle that he can become a minister without being from a family, and when Wei Chaoyang first knew about Yuichiro Watanabe, he was really surprised.
"It's not that it doesn't matter at all." Yuichiro Watanabe said, "My former wife was from a family, and I was able to become this minister thanks to this relationship. However, my wife died two years ago, and my relationship with the family was broken. can still stay in the ministerial position, which is actually a faΓ§ade, making people see that the family does not control all the important positions. Hey, my minister is actually a bare-bones, and the entire Liaison Department doesn't have a single staff member except for me. β
Wei Chaoyang couldn't help but be a little strange, "Didn't you and your wife have children?" β
The head of a dignified department, calling himself a lonely old man, is a very inconsistent thing in itself.
Yuichiro Watanabe was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "No." She is a daughter of a family, and marrying me is a consideration of the family layout, and it has nothing to do with love and love. She has someone she likes, and she doesn't like me as a hillbilly, so she hasn't let me touch her since the wedding. But it's just that she doesn't let me touch her, she doesn't play outside ordinarily, I think anyone can touch her except my husband. It's just that this kind of thing is too much and too complicated, and it is inevitable that she will not be hit, she has AIDS, a complication of mixed organ failure, and after being diagnosed, she disappeared within a few days. I was not able to attend the funeral because she had a last word, and I was not allowed to appear at her funeral as a husband. At the funeral, standing in her husband's place was her old lover. Ha, now everyone knows about it, so I got the nickname of a green hat minister. β
The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "If you want to do something, you have to go to the Joint Operations Command of the Suppression Operation now, and nothing can be done here." β
Wei Chaoyang stared at the old man for a while and asked, "Do you hate your wife's family?" β
Yuichiro Watanabe shook his head and said, "I don't hate." Without her and her family, how could I possibly be the head of the previous department, even if it was just a decoration, there was no shortage of salaries and bonuses, and there was hope for retirement and retirement. Actually, I have to thank her and her family. β
Wei Chaoyang smiled hard, slapped Watanabe Yuroichi on the shoulder, and said: "You are very interesting, since you are the Minister of External Relations, then take on the responsibilities that should be done now, and go to notify the other Standing Committee members to come back to participate in the Standing Committee meeting." The meeting will be held at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not allowed to be late and ask for leave, and if you dare not return, you will bear the consequences! β
Yuichiro Watanabe said a little dazedly: "Notifying the participants is the business of the secretary's office, and it is not under the control of our external relations department. β
"From now on, it's all yours." Wei Chaoyang waved his hand, "Now you are here alone, who is in charge if it is not under your control?" Hurry up and let the conference room out. β
Yuichiro Watanabe said with some embarrassment: "I'm only one person, I'm afraid I can't be busy." β
"I'll arrange some subordinates for you."
After Wei Chaoyang finished speaking, he shouted loudly towards the front yard: "Lao Jing, Lao Jing, come here." β
The bald-headed Jing Chunfeng trotted in, "Mr. Wei, what's wrong?" β
Wei Chaoyang said: "Let Cao Lao arrange a few capable young men to help a group of Watanabe ministers." β
Jing Chunfeng answered, turned his head and ran out, and came back after a while.
This time, he was followed by six hardcover boys, all wearing straight suits, although the big summer one made people feel hot and panicked, but they were also energetic enough, and they were quite imposing when they went to that station.
Wei Chaoyang beckoned: "Come, say hello to your boss, Minister Watanabe." β
The six guys bowed to Yuichiro Watanabe and said, "Hello minister." β
Yuichiro Watanabe was stunned, stared at the six guys for a long time, and then turned to Wei Chaoyang, and asked a little uncertainly: "They are not the staff of the committee, right?" β
Wei Chaoyang said: "Now it's your subordinate, Minister Watanabe." β
Yuichiro Watanabe hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid that the Mito commissioners will not agree." If you want to work in the committee, you must have a letter of recommendation from the family, and ordinary people are not allowed to join the committee. β
This is the characteristic of the Edo Committee, and it is the foundation of the Maison's firm control over the Committee.
Those who can get a letter of recommendation are not the children of the family, that is, relatives who have close ties with the family, how can ordinary people get this kind of recommendation letter.
Yuichiro Watanabe had been working on the Edo Committee for decades, and it was the first time he had seen such a casual addition to the committee.
This will definitely offend Koji Mito, who has a firm grip on personnel power.
"Not anymore." Wei Chaoyang looked at Yuichiro Watanabe and said in a deep voice, "Minister Watanabe, if you don't want to do things, then I won't force it, you can retire and don't come back." β
Yuichiro Watanabe stared at Wei Chaoyang for a while, then glanced at the six sturdy guys, and finally said, "I'll do it, you wait." β
He didn't say anything more, turned his head to thank Jing Chunfeng, and took the six sturdy guys to the second courtyard.
Just passing through the courtyard gate and seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp and stay on the spot.
