Volume 1: The Origin of the Floating Dragon Chapter 183 Stepping on the Sky
The things sent from Xiangling are stamped with the word "Zhao".
As we all know, there is only one Zhao family in Xiangling, the capital of the Yugoslav Federation, this ancient family that existed before the collapse of the thousand-year-old dynasty, let the dynasty change, it has its own calm bearing to sit on the country, and has always held the supreme authority of the secular world, and it is known as the "three-phase family" during the Shang Dynasty, which is said to be that in the heyday of the Zhao family, there were three generations of "hereditary" prime ministers of the Zhao family, which is the time when the Zhao family has the strongest momentum. And the waves when it is calm may be the most awe-inspiring thing of this kind of high-ranking lord, in all dynasties, there must be the Zhao family in a high position, to ensure the prosperity of the Zhao family.
If these are all old things that do not need to be mentioned again, then the current situation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is a reality that cannot be ignored in front of us; since the beginning of the confrontation between the north and the south two hundred years ago, there has been a speaker with the surname Zhao in the supreme council of the alliance, and this point has remained unchanged for 200 years.
In the face of such a behemoth, Mo said that it was Chen Ke'an, even Xu Xianshi, who was an internal envoy, had to be up to the spirit of twelve points and deal with it carefully.
In this way, the vermilion handwriting on the envelope is particularly eye-catching.
'Mr. Li Personally Enlightened'
Who is this Mr. Li?
The seal of the Zhao family is divided into several grades, judging from this Zhao character imprint, the specification of this letter is not high, which means that the purpose of this package is mostly private and not in public, and this is precisely troublesome, if it is a business matter, it can also be public, with Chen Ke'an's familiar rules entanglement and multi-party operation, there may not be no room for turnaround.
But if this 'Mr. Li' has a personal relationship with the Zhao family, and it is a personal relationship that has to use the power of the family to mail gifts in this situation, I am afraid that the benefits and disadvantages of this will not be clear in a few words.
It is true that the public is greater than the private, but in some cases, it may be the real truth to turn it upside down.
Chen Ke'an glanced at Li Qing without a trace, and there was a vague bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't understand how Li Qing, who had come to Fuyong this time, could meet the people of the Zhao family in Xiangling?
'Why?' First Huang Zhongxing, and then the Xiangling Zhao family, what is this poor boy? ! Chen Ke'an roared in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm, but the jealousy flashing in his eyes was already a little unconcealable.
Maybe he was also carried away by this jealousy, and luck gradually overcame reason, Chen Ke'an, Li is the surname, there are so many people with the surname Li in the world, not to mention anything else, just the people surnamed Li sitting in this conference room now are not counting their hands, this letter, this package, may not really be sent to you Li Qing.
"Looks like it's mine."
Li Qing said lightly, and then stepped forward to take his things.
When he saw the word "Zhao" on the envelope, Li Qing already knew the origin of this package, but he didn't expect that the agreed ring would arrive so slowly, and the speed of the postal service was still as flattering as ever, but it was better to come early than to come by chance, and it was not bad to send it now.
"Wait."
Just when Li Qing had already stretched out his hand, Chen Ke'an suddenly stopped him, and said in a deep voice: "Since it is something sent from Xiangling, I think it is better to be cautious, if something goes wrong, so that people who don't want to do it see things that shouldn't be seen, and make a big mistake, who will take the responsibility?" ”
In this sentence, he almost directly called Li Qing's name and said that he was the "irrelevant person".
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the shocked people quickly reacted, the envelope was written 'Mr. Li personally in' is true, but it was not written 'Li Qing pro-Qi', who is this Mr. Li, among them, I am afraid there is a lot to say.
"Yes, this letter only said that it was sent to Mr. Li, and it was not said that it was sent directly to Li Qing, and it is a little too hasty to identify the owner with the word 'Li', or as Mayor Chen said, it is better to be cautious, and it is not too late to make a decision after clarifying the situation and understanding it."
"This is true, didn't we just not understand the situation just now, and made a hasty decision, and almost made a big mistake? Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, the mistake you just made, you can't make it again. ”
"As long as the surname is Li, you can be called Mr. Li, Fuyong and Xiangling are separated by 108,000 miles, even it is difficult for us to get in touch with Xiangling, as for Ningpu, it is even more difficult, if you want to say that this Mr. Li is him Li Qing, I don't believe it first."
"This young man has a bad stomach, he almost killed Mayor Huang just now, and now he wants to pull the banner of the Zhao family, but he can't let him succeed anymore."
It's like a drowning person who suddenly sees a piece of driftwood, and the instinct to survive makes them scramble to hug it one by one, and the more they say, the more confident they seem to be, whether others believe it or not, the person who speaks himself believes it first.
On the rostrum, Huang Zhongxing, who was sitting in the first place, leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, he knew that the moment he saw the envelope, Chen Kean had actually believed it.
This Mayor Chen, who was picked up by himself, is now just making the last stubborn resistance in self-deception, unwilling, unwilling to lose at the hands of a twenty-year-old young man, and this young man is still what he has always looked down on, and more importantly, just now, he is clearly already in control, and the situation has been reversed in a blink of an eye, this feeling of being directly beaten from heaven to hell, ordinary people really can't bear it.
Chen Ke'an is like this, and those who are talking about it in the audience, why aren't they? A group of elites who are sitting on the home field and waiting for the battle will actually lose to a young man from the mountains, which is something they can't accept at all.
Huang Zhongxing, who put down the teacup, looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was quite complicated for a while, when Chen Ke'an took out the paperwork, the situation was already out of his control, and what happened later, the involvement of each case was not small, even he had to plan and then move, and he didn't dare to speak at will.
"Oh? According to Mayor Chen, who should the words "Mr. Li" on the envelope refer to? Li Qing flicked his fingers, quite disapproving, "Fang Cai also said, this is a urgent matter, it is not good to get the wrong person, but if it is delayed, I am afraid you will not be able to afford it, right?" ”
Chen Ke'an had a cold face, his eyes swept over everyone in the audience, and swept over several henchmen in a row, all of whom were dodging and did not dare to look at him.
Not to mention whether these people have this impatience, at this time, who dares to come out and talk nonsense, and who dares to carry this big black cauldron? It's okay to talk about the momentum, but when it comes to the critical moment, no one wants to be this bird.
"This matter, I will naturally find out after I come down......"
Li Qing cut off his words: "Can't you figure it out now?" Why do you have to go down and check it later? ”
"If you encounter a problem, you can solve it, everything has been delivered to the door, it's better to ask it now," Huang Zhongxing also handed over a sentence lightly, "Whose things are you, just give them to whom, what a simple thing." ”
Chen Ke'an was speechless.
If Chen Ke'an is a snake, then Huang Zhongxing's words hit him by seven inches, no matter what, Huang Zhongxing is one level higher than him, and the number one has spoken, what else can he say as a deputy? But how do you want him to figure it out and point out all the people surnamed Li present and ask them one by one? Although Chen Ke'an has the power, offending people like this is no different from looking for death.
"I have a solution." Immortal Master Xu glanced at Chen Ke'an and said slowly.
At this time, Immortal Master Xu's voice sounded like heaven in Chen Ke'an's ears, and he cast a grateful glance at Immortal Master Xu, "The envoy might as well speak up." ”
Xu Xianshi said expressionlessly: "Actually, this question is not so complicated, and you don't want to know who Mr. Li is written in the letter, what everyone wants to know is nothing more than him," as he spoke, Xu Xianshi pointed at Li Qingyao, "Is it Mr. Li or not?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many people showed an embarrassing smile on their faces, the truth is so true, but everyone's face is not good-looking when this is said, so many years, they have long been accustomed to having words in the words, insinuations, and feel that this is a word, a skill, a sophisticated, and the only way to be a man.
Xu Xianshi is obviously not a person who cares about these things, and even from beginning to end, which of the hundred officials in the hall can enter his eyes, "Before I say that, I want to ask a question first. ”
As he spoke, Xu Xianshi turned his gaze to the Zhang Mi, who didn't remember the name of the deputy mayor's secretary, "Let me ask you, who handed you this package just now?" What did you say? ”
Zhang Mi unconsciously glanced at Chen Ke'an, who didn't get any eye signals, he didn't know what to say for a while, he pondered for a while, and finally had to tell the truth: "I didn't see the person's appearance clearly, but I remember that the man said that his surname was Qu." ”
Anyone can hear that this statement is inconsistent, and they can't even see their appearance, but they can remember what the other party's surname is, which is a bit illogical, but I didn't see that Special Envoy Xu didn't say anything, since no one dared to stand up and criticize these details.
"It turned out to be him," this kind of slightly contrary to common sense, Xu Xianshi showed a sudden expression after hearing it, and he nodded rarely, "My method is also very simple, 'Mr. Li' written on the envelope, you should know what is in this box, right?" ”
As soon as the package was opened, everyone's eyes were attracted by the letter with bright red handwriting and the seal of the Zhao character, after Xu Xianshi reminded him, he remembered that in addition to this letter, there was a small square box sent together in this package, the text content is ever-changing, but the things sent from thousands of miles away, there should always be communication beforehand, right?
It is just right to use this trick to test whether Li Qing is the Mr. Li mentioned in the letter.
Among the directors and directors of Chen Ke'an's faction, Fu Zhongbo, who had just confronted Li Qing, was undoubtedly the most excited, with a pair of eyes shining with fine light, as if a person who had been in the desert for a long time saw an oasis, he absolutely did not believe that with this Li Qing, he could actually have a relationship with the Zhao family in Xiangling.
Gu Changming frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this okay??" Personal belongings, for the sake of an unnecessary proof, are a little too unreasonable. ”
"The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, just check it, how can it be so serious??" Chen Ke'an waved his hand indifferently, in the current situation, he always has to find a step to go down, anyway, this idea was not proposed by him, of course he is happy to enjoy this ready-made.
"Bet on what?" At this time, Li Qing, the party, finally spoke.
Chen Ke'an was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "What is the bet on?" ”
Li Qing smiled slightly, but didn't answer, and said to himself: "If I say that the items in the small square box are right, I want you to do something for me." ”
He flicked his fingers lightly, and said: "I originally wanted you to kowtow and admit your mistakes, and then shout three times that you have no beads, but after thinking about it, this is too difficult for you, you will definitely not agree, so I changed the conditions, rest assured, this matter will definitely not embarrass you, and it will be cashed on the spot, and it will not be delayed." ”
Since the package is a private matter, Li Qing gambles on private matters and does not involve public affairs.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, this Li Qing is inevitably too out of line, and the brighter head will think that at the beginning, Li Qing said that he and Chen Ke'an were "old acquaintances" when they were in Ningpu, and now it seems that this old acquaintance is mostly an old grudge.
"Presumptuous!" Shen Qinglin slapped the case and glared angrily, "What kind of place should you be here, allowing you to make a big fuss?" Mayor Chen is your boss no matter what he says, don't you know how to write the word respect?! ”
In response to the roar of the chief of the Public Security Bureau, Li Qing only responded with a chuckle.
was directly ignored, Shen Qinglin was not sitting or standing, his face was swollen and red, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, everyone around looked at it, and always felt that this scene was familiar, in front of Li Qing, these big leaders who were usually moody and moody, as if they had changed their lives, were a little uncontrollable.
Chen Ke'an's face was gloomy and about to drip water, Li Qing didn't open his mouth early or late, but he wanted to pick after he just finished saying that sentence, if he refused now, wouldn't he slap himself? If Chen Ke'an retreats at this time, then the prestige he has built up with all his heart will surely be swept away along with his face.
Gambling still has a chance to win, and refusal is a steady loss.
"What if you lose??" Chen Ke'an's eyes were as sharp as an arrow and looked at Li Qing.
"I'm not going to lose."
Li Qing said lightly, and then stopped giving Chen Ke'an a chance to speak, "The box contains a ring, to be precise, it is a tail ring with a simple shape and a black gem inlaid on the top. Speaking of this, he ignored Chen Ke'an, and turned his head to look at Xu Xianshi, who was also the envoy Xu, "Do I open it, or do you go?" ”
Xu Xianshi glanced at Li Qing deeply, didn't speak, just made a gesture of please.
Li Qingzi was not ambiguous, and without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his hand and picked up the square box.
The box is opened, and the black jewel tail ring lies quietly in the box, and the black gem on the top of the ring seems to absorb all the light, making it look deep and secret.
The audience was silent.
What such a result means, everyone knows very well in their hearts.
This Li Qing, who came out of the mountains, really had a relationship with the Zhao family in Xiangling, and judging from the gifts they exchanged with each other, this relationship is not shallow.
Rings, no matter where they are placed, will inevitably be given some special meanings, if they are just ordinary friends, general friends, it is categorically impossible to give this kind of thing.
Li Qing, who was still the party concerned, spoke again, breaking the strange silence.
"You've lost."
Li Qing, who said these three words, did not have the joy of victory in his heart as others thought, and even said that there were no emotional ups and downs, and when victory was an expected thing, there was naturally nothing to be excited about.
Maybe he had a premonition of failure, Chen Ke'an had a rare free and easy time, and because of this, he was also a lot less embarrassed, he closed his eyes slightly, "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”
is willing to gamble and lose, whether it is true or not, in front of everyone's eyes, Chen Kean can't help but regret it.
Li Qing said without hesitation: "Run an errand, go down and get back the document you just took out and present it to me." ”
Chen Ke'an was slightly stunned, and he didn't ask much, so he did it, and when he walked down, the eyes of everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, only made him feel a deep shame, he knew that this was mostly his own delusion, but ...... But the big husband can bend and stretch, this shame, he doesn't care about it!
Li Qing said "present it to him", Chen Ke'an could hear what he was emphasing, so when he handed over the document to Li Qing, he held the document in both hands, bowed slightly, raised his hands above his eyebrows, and put his posture very low.
Li Qing took the document with one hand, and then, in the incredible eyes of everyone, he opened his hand easily.
The special headpiece symbolizing the will of the parliament slowly fell to the ground like autumn leaves drifting in the wind.
The next moment, there was an extra black footprint on the document that everyone regarded as sacrosanct.
