Volume 1 Origin of the Floating Dragon Chapter 154 Collecting the Corpse
All night, Li Qing spent the whole night in his sobriety, and the bad thing about shadow affinity was that it would make the work and rest of the transcendent people upside down, and now that the enemy was around, it was really rumored that the grass and trees were all soldiers, and his heart was not big enough for him to have a good night's sleep in this situation.
Yeyu still didn't show up, but Li Qing couldn't wait.
For the next road, Li Qing can only rely on his own feet, he is not an iron man, in addition to hurrying, he also has to take into account the surrounding conditions, and keep himself in a better state at all times to deal with the dangers that may occur at any time, calculating the time, it is really urgent.
People are in the official career, they can't help themselves, the scarlet moon in the palm of the palm has been perfect for a long time, and the matter that was originally planned to enter the trial realm to obtain essentia in the near future has to be postponed again.
"What could be more important than the divine handwriting on me?"
In order to get this scripture, Ye Yu can be said to have exhausted the means, painstakingly, although the final result is far from her expectations, but it can be regarded as a hard work pays off, after the scriptures are in hand, she and Li Qing are almost inseparable, and Li Qing's mobile "library cabinet" is staring closely, for fear that in a blink of an eye, this big living person will disappear with her precious fragments,
For the first time, when Li Qing was ambushed and killed all the way, Ye Yu disappeared abnormally, and the reason behind this was naturally very curious.
The good news is that they didn't wait for Ye Yifei, but they didn't wait for the pursuers, who did not come to the nearest settlement to search for his traces, and I don't know if it was because they knew that the relocation operation had turned Dawangxiang into an empty shell, or because they chose to give up decisively after weighing their tracking capabilities and Li Qing's hiding and escape methods.
Escaping into the shadows and walking out of the courtyard, I saw that the old man was still sitting on the threshold, leaning against the door frame, and his appearance was not much different from that of last night.
The only difference is that the old man was still breathing last night, but now, it is a corpse.
Li Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and for a while, his heart was complicated and indescribable.
The corpse maintained the posture of last night, and there were no wounds on its body, and with Li Qing's current eyesight, it was not difficult to see that the old man had reached the end of his life and died of natural causes.
As for peace or no...... This word, applied to the corpse in front of him, no matter from which point of view, seems to be a little inappropriate.
The die-hard man who stayed behind died, and his sons and daughters went to unknown distances.
Sighing secretly, Li Qing dispersed the shadows around him, stepped forward and carried the old man's body into the courtyard opposite, and then protected the corpse with a void essentia to ensure that it would not rot in such a big weather, and after doing this simple thing, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard and closed the courtyard door.
The funeral, if the old man's children can still return to Dawang Township, then it will be done again, and if they can't come back, it will also be fate, and Li Qing can't complain about anything.
It's just that he never thought that the first thing he did when he left Ningpu and came to the towns around the county was to "collect the body" for an old man who had never known his life.
"A Thousand Miles of Lonely Graves...... I don't know if it's appropriate to use it here? ”
Li Qing shook his head, recalled the road marked on the map, looked up to identify the direction, added shadows, and turned around and walked in the direction of the official road.
Fuyong, he has to go.
Even if the future is uncertain, there are many dangers.
In addition to official business, perhaps, there are some selfish intentions that Li Qing himself cannot be sure of.
……
The scorching sun is high, and the summer Fuyong is scorching hot.
Located in the border of Fuyue Province has always had the name of "miasma place", because of the sea, the heat here is very uncomfortable damp heat, the heat together, all day long and all day long body is sticky, all the time is like a sauna in general, is the sauna of life, there is no comfort, the diffuse water vapor not only covers the human eyes, but also makes people feel like being in the ocean, and they feel a little breathless.
However, those who work in the Fuyong City Government do not have this problem, and the city government building, which was renovated only once a few years ago, is equipped with advanced cooling and heat-reducing facilities, as long as you cross the majestic gate of the city government compound, cross the signboard of "Fuyong City Government of Fuyue Province, Yugoslav Federation" written vertically on the gate, and then pass through a wide square made of excellent greenery, and then climb the 21st level of marble steps with strict regulations, and then cross the gate of the government building, you can feel the cool air on your face.
It is a kind of cold air that is completely different from the heat of the outside world, and ordinary people will never forget it once they feel it.
Inside and outside the hospital, there are two completely different worlds.
Under the marble steps, Lou Xiaochuan looked up at the majestic six-story city government building, the dark blue glass kept out all the sunlight, he hugged the briefcase in his arms, and took the first step up the steps.
Although the Municipal Public Security Bureau has now moved to the administrative street where the city government is located, in response to the Supreme Council's call for "intensive administration", the distance between the two offices is no more than a kilometer, but as a small staff member of the Fuyong Municipal Public Security Bureau, Lou Xiaochuan, who is in his early twenties, has come to the city government building for the first time.
Climbing the stairs, entering the entrance, the deep space, the cool air that came to him, the eyes of the people in the government building looking at him, all kinds of factors overlapped, Lou Xiaochuan unconsciously shivered, and the blood surging in his heart was also a little cold.
Should I really come this time?
Soon, Lou Xiaochuan already had an answer in his heart, he hugged the briefcase in his hand tighter, and did not go to the front desk, and walked to the stairwell.
He had already inquired, whether it was the mayor or the deputy mayor, their offices were on the fifth floor.
As long as you can get through the door, it's not hard to find.
With heavy steps, he found Vice Mayor Chen Ke'an's office all the way, and the closed vermilion wooden door made Lou Xiaochuan's already heavy heart sink a few inches deeper.
Each door on the fifth floor is not small from each other, so it is not difficult to imagine the spaciousness and grandeur of each office.
The entire floor is quiet, and in the silence, this floor where the highest authority of Fuyong City is gathered becomes more and more solemn and solemn.
It's as if there's something in the hallway, looking down at the strangers who come here all the time.
The person he was looking for was not there, Lou Xiaochuan was a little overwhelmed for a while, standing cramped at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, very embarrassed, but in the absence of a guide, he wanted to meet the leader, this embarrassment was also deserved.
What to do? Lou Xiaochuan didn't know anyone, and no one dared to count on him.
Can only wait.
The office of the government office is located on the fourth floor, one floor lower than the city leaders, because this floor is separated, many times it is not very convenient, so in the last renovation, the director of the government office Wang made a proposal to open a secretary's room on the fifth floor, and after the vote agreed, the proposal quickly fell to the ground.
Working in this kind of place, "don't care about things that are not in your own hands, and don't ask questions that have nothing to do with you" is the consensus of the old fritters, and after the young people join the company, some of them can quickly adapt and integrate, while others are not well integrated, and after suffering hardships, a large part will be naturalized, and only a very small number of "survivors" are still doing their own thing.
It's like a big sieve, everything in the world is the force that makes this sieve shake, and whether the situation on the sieve is better, or whether the person who is screened out is more comfortable, this is another matter.
As a newcomer to the government office, Wang Bao obviously did not integrate very well, but his family background is not simple, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the government office as soon as he graduated, and he was transferred to the city leader as a secretary after less than a year, although the deputy mayor Gu he served was a little special, and he did not come to the building for 99 days in a hundred days, so that Wang Bao, who wanted to show his strength, had a feeling of strength and nowhere to go, but after all, the position and identity were placed here, and on the surface, it was also very beautiful.
Recently, it has been better, and the meetings in the city suddenly began to invite Gu Changming to participate, and even with him, the secretary, he also had something to do, but the participants were attending the meeting, and so far, what he said to Gu Changming did not add up to more than ten sentences, compared with Wang Bao, Xiao Jin, who was next to Vice Mayor Gu, was more like a secretary.
In the secretary's room, the secretaries were busy with their own things in their seats, perhaps because they were busy, and there was no movement in the huge secretary's room except for the sound of paper turning and the tip of the pen sliding on the paper.
Although the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia does not have a written requirement that leaders cannot be equipped with secretaries of the opposite sex, it has indeed become a common practice in many places that male leaders are not worthy of female secretaries.
Wang Bao is sorting out the documents to be read, between his eyebrows, he has long lost the spirit when he first joined the company, he is not a stupid person, two years is enough for him to understand a lot of things, his appointment is a bright promotion and secret depreciation, Gu Changming is more special than he imagined, he is not in charge of a certain work in the city at all, and he, the secretary, has naturally become an ornament, and the daily work is to simply sort out the documents, and there is no other business.
Although no one checked his work, Wang Bao was still meticulous in his work.
After sorting out the documents, Wang Bao raised his head, looked at the colleagues who were still busy, and his heart was already unwavering, out of the secretary's room, he wanted to go downstairs as usual, but when he turned around, he saw an unfamiliar figure standing in the corridor and in front of Vice Mayor Chen's door.
"Looking for someone?"
Lou Xiaochuan, who was full of anxiety, was startled by this sudden voice, and subconsciously clutched the briefcase in his arms, "Are you?" Wang Bao's appearance, at first glance, he didn't know that it couldn't be the deputy mayor Chen Ke'an he was waiting for.
Wang Bao took out his work card, "The government is done, Wang Bao, if you want to find Mayor Chen, he is now holding a meeting downstairs, I am not sure how long it will end, you better come at another time." ”
There is a lengthy interview process behind this, in addition, Chen Kean himself is also very busy, especially in the recent period when Mayor Huang has been sick, and he needs to preside over all the big and small affairs in the city, which is even more busy, although the effect of this busyness remains to be discussed for the time being.
Hearing this, Lou Xiaochuan suddenly became a little anxious, "Director Wang, you can help me, I have something very important to report to Mayor Chen." ”
Wang Bao frowned slightly, and said, "I'm not a director," this kind of title, it's nothing to shout in private, but in this kind of place where there are many people, it's very inappropriate, "It's not a question of whether I can help you or not, it's that Mayor Chen is really not available today, and his schedule is already full." ”
After a pause, he added, "Moreover, if you don't have an appointment, how many times you come will be in vain." ”
"No, no," Lou Xiaochuan shook his head repeatedly, "Wang ...... Brother Wang, you really have to help me, this matter is really important, Mayor Chen must know! ”
"What's the matter? Is it so serious? Wang Bao looked puzzled, his gaze moved down, and naturally stopped on the black briefcase in Lou Xiaochuan's arms.
Lou Xiaochuan instantly became vigilant, and his words flickered: "This...... Brother Wang, you understand and understand, I can't say it, I really can't say it. ”
"It's hard for you, Brother Wang, but if I can't see Mayor Chen today, I won't leave."
Looking at Lou Xiaochuan with a determined face in front of him, Wang Bao felt a little unbearable in his heart, looked around, and said, "You definitely can't wait, even if you wait, Mayor Chen won't have time to see you." ”
"You can't report in person, but you can put the materials on Mayor Chen's desk and remember to press it with the paperweight on his desk, so he can definitely see it."
At the end, he explained: "Mayor Chen has a habit of using his precious paperweight when reviewing documents, so ......"
Needless to say, Lou Xiaochuan hesitated for a while, and finally adopted Wang Bao's suggestion.
"Wait until I'm gone before I go in, besides, if someone asks, don't say it's my idea for you."
Saying that, Wang Bao turned around and left, this kind of thing is quite taboo, although he is not in a good situation, but he doesn't want to lose this iron rice bowl for the time being, naturally he will not leave himself such an obvious handle.
When he came out, Lou Xiaochuan's expression was very complicated, and there was a sense of relief in the decadence, as if he had not put down a material, but dropped a time bomb that would explode at any time.
After Lou Xiaochuan left, an unexpected figure came to the door of Chen Ke'an's office, to be precise, it appeared at the door of Vice Mayor Chen's office again.
"I'd like to see what is so mysterious."
Perhaps it was because he had been silent for too long, and Wang Bao, who was unwilling to be lonely, decided to make the next risky move.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, troubled times have come, even if he can't be a hero, Wang Bao is not willing to live a dull life like this.
Opportunities, not only to grasp, sometimes, but also to fight for themselves.
A strange look flashed in his eyes, it was the excitement and excitement of breaking the vows, and Wang Bao unscrewed the doorknob of the office.
As a member of the secretary's office, Chen Ke'an's schedule is not a secret to Wang Bao, and there is still an hour before the end of the meeting presided over by Chen Ke'an, and he has plenty of time to figure things out.
Chen Ke'an's office is very magnificent, or every office on the fifth floor, except for the secretary's room, which is a little stingy, the other offices are very atmospheric.
Carpets, sofas, plants, calligraphy, stoves, lounges...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
Lou Xiaochuan implemented his suggestion very thoroughly, and when he came to Wang Bao at the desk, he saw at a glance the obsidian paperweight of the evil spirit-warding treasure in the center, as well as the kraft paper file bag under the paperweight.
It's also very tightly sealed.
Removing the paperweight, the file bag contained a small stack of paper materials and three items.
Wang Bao didn't care about the three items, and directly picked up the paper materials and looked at them.
Report letter.
Three big characters come into view.
Wang Bao was slightly stunned, and he immediately turned the letter to the last page.
At the check-in place, Lou Xiaochuan's three words are eye-catching and compelling.
Reporting, real-name reporting, and real-name reporting by an official member of the Public Security Bureau.
Wang Bao's throat rolled, and he hurriedly turned the letter back to the first page, holding it and reading it.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and when he got to the back, he even felt that his legs were weak, and he sat directly on Chen Ke'an's office chair.
In the imposing office of the deputy mayor, the sound of rollers rubbing against the ground is extremely harsh.
When he woke up from a dream, Wang Bao bounced up from his chair, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly set about restoring everything to its original state in order to create the illusion that no one had ever come.
His hands trembled as he did these things.
He regretted it.
Somehow, Wang Bao's mind suddenly appeared the scene when he was talking to Lou Xiaochuan, and in an instant, he was in a trance, and his heart was horizontal, and he took away the page where the letter was signed, and took one of the three items, and then put the things back into the file bag "as they were".
