Fang Xu put down the work in the kitchen, it was exactly what Luo Qun wanted, and he just asked Fang Xu about the news of the woman in red, if he talked about this topic during the meal, it would be a little too heavy.

After Fang Xu put the apron away, he sat down next to Luo Qun, picked an orange and handed it to Luo Qun:

"The oranges at this time are the best, they are not overripe, they are too sweet, and they are not too sour to cause them to eat too much, but no matter how good the things are, eating too much is not a good thing, just like oranges, eating too much will also get hot."

Maybe it's because Fang Xu didn't have any children of his own, and when he married Wang Meili, Luo Qun had already grown up, so Fang Xu's way of being kind to Luo Qun always seemed so clumsy and blunt, obviously he wanted Luo Qun to eat two more oranges, but in the end, it was always more like educating Luo Qun some life truths.

Luo Qun didn't think so much, he accepted Fang Xu's kindness to him very calmly, except for some things involving principles that Fang Xu would not agree to because of his temperament, as long as Luo Qun mentioned the rest, Fang Xu didn't disagree, but Luo Qun rarely asked Fang Xu to help, which also made Fang Xu a little distressed sometimes.

Luo Qun took the oranges handed over by Fang Xu, and was stunned when he thought of the stalk that was derived from Mr. Zhu's "Back" and had always been a big hit on the Internet, but thinking that Fang Xu was his second father after all, it was not a matter of course to take advantage of his oranges.

"Second father, speaking of which, I happened to have something to ask you about today, and I originally went to you today to ask you, but because Lin Wenxiu was there at the time, I couldn't ask you."

Luo Qun said while peeling oranges.

"Huh? What's up? Tell me about it. ”

Fang Xu took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, then took two more cigarettes from the cigarette case on the table and handed one to Luo Qun.

"It's more than 20 years ago, was there a kind of family in the ancient city that had hands and eyes to the sky, there was a young and beautiful woman in that family, and the status was not low, and the family had no children."

Luo Qun pondered for a moment before he organized his language and reluctantly expressed what he wanted to ask.

"Why are you asking all of a sudden?"

Through the curling smoke, Fang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered, as if he was recalling something.

Fang Xu's official luck is very good and bad, which is very contradictory, but it is the truth.

Fang Xu's education is actually not high, he joined the work when he was a teenager, at that time, the family entrusted the relationship to arrange Fang Xu, who had just graduated from high school, into the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Fang Xu's hometown, although Fang Xu's education is not high, but he is politically sensitive, highly conscious, and the pen is also very hard, and it didn't take long for a local leader to take a fancy to him, and he was transferred to a street working committee, and wrote an article for the leader for two years, but the leader was also good at Fang Xu, and solved the problem of preparation for Fang Xu.

Fang Xu studied while working, and got a correspondence undergraduate degree in law, at that time the correspondence degree was not like now, the gold content was still there, two years later, the leader was promoted, and he did not forget Fang Xu, because Fang Xu's pen was hard, and the leader recommended Fang Xu to the leader who was about to take office as the political and legal secretary in the ancient city.

So, Fang Xu followed the leader's leadership, left his hometown, and began to develop in the ancient city.

After arriving in the ancient city, Fang Xu was arranged to be the liaison of the political and legal secretary, that is, the full-time secretary who is often called, and the political and legal secretary even helped him operate it, and promoted Fang Xu to the deputy department, then Fang Xu had just turned twenty years old, and at the age of twenty, he was a deputy department, which can be described as a promising future.

However, Fang Xu never thought that the problem of the ancient city was already very big at that time, this political and legal secretary was specially arranged by the province to rectify the ancient city, the political and legal secretary stayed in the ancient city for eight years, all the way from the political and legal secretary to the retirement of the secretary, and knocked out batch after batch of corruption and underworld forces in the ancient city, Fang Xu also became the youngest deputy department in the ancient city at the age of less than thirty.

However, because of the consistent tough posture of the political and legal secretary, he offended many people, and even Fang Xu was hostile, after the secretary retired, there was no one to protect Fang Xu, and Fang Xu's unlucky days began.

At that time, Fang Xu was the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, although it is not as promising as the Secretary-General, and has more development prospects, but it can also be regarded as a figure in the center of power, but in fact, Fang Xu at that time was just hanging the name of the deputy director, and the work was basically controlled by the Secretary-General and the Director.

Since then, Fang Xu's political career has begun to become difficult, but although the old secretary has brought him difficulties, he has also brought Fang Xu's integrity and toughness, coupled with Fang Xu's own political wisdom, he has fought his way out of that hellish situation, and it took more than 20 years, from the deputy department to the main hall.

Although it is said that the main hall is already a position that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, most of the people in the ordinary system, I am afraid that they can only see the main department at the end of their lives, and many of them will not even be able to touch the edge of the main department until they retire, but Fang Xu, as a new star back then, took more than 20 years to cross the hurdle of the department level, and it can also be seen how difficult it was for Fang Xu at that time.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Xu has a very thorough understanding of the ancient city, because if he doesn't know the ancient city well, Fang Xu can't find a breakthrough from it, but sink all the way.

While recalling what he had learned about Fang Xu's past, Luo Qun told Fang Xu about Chang Juemin's family, his trip to Jinxi, and what he learned with Luo Zhaodi in Jinxi.

Fang Xu listened carefully to Luo Qun's story, taking a sip of tea from time to time, the expression on his face did not change, but Luo Qun, who was sitting beside him, could really feel that the air pressure emanating from Fang Xu's body was getting lower and lower, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn.

After Luo Qun finished speaking, Fang Xu pondered for a while, wanting to get angry, and found that he would be at home instead of the office, and Luo Qun was beside him, not the staff, before he let out a long breath and said:

"Why are there so many cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children in the past? There are many reasons, because the education level in remote areas is generally not high, the feudal ideology is extremely stubborn, and the idea of preferring sons over daughters is rampant. It's better to find a good person to send it, and if you want to save trouble, you will sell it directly, and the money from the sale will be used to raise your son, what if you can't give birth? Just buy it, you go to it, you go to steal, you go to steal. ”

"Some or even entire villages are engaged in illegal activities of abducting and trafficking women and children, covering for each other, and even involving human lives, which is simply appalling and unconscionable.

Speaking of excitement, Fang Xu coughed, Luo Qun hurriedly patted Fang Xu on the back, but Fang Xu waved his hand and refused, Fang Xu took a sip of tea, and then said:

"Abduction and trafficking of women and children, in the final analysis, is an illegal market behavior, even if it is illegal, it can't hide from the market behavior, or the saying that has always been said, there is no buying and selling, there is no killing, driven by enough interests, how many people are willing to take risks, in those days, this illegal activity was rampant, now it is good, people's living standards have improved, quality education has been comprehensively improved, there are few such things, but this does not mean that there is no such thing at all, And the damage that has been caused, even now, this wound that has festered and leaked pus, it is not easy to heal, even if it is healed, the scar left behind is heart-wrenching. ”

Fang Xu patted Luo Qun:

"Xiaoqun, you are very good, really good, I hope you can help that Chang Juemin, and I hope you can help more people in the future."

Fang Xu rarely praised people, which made Luo Qun a little proud in his heart, but Luo Qun didn't respond to anything, just listened quietly.

"I just recalled that in those years, in the ancient city, there were indeed not many people who met the conditions you mentioned, but there were indeed three."

"There is one, it's quite a coincidence, that is, the mother of Lin Wenxiu you saw today, Qiao Wanfang, was the daughter of the mayor of the ancient city at that time, married to Lin Boqing, a local entrepreneur supported by the ancient city, at that time, Bandung had entered a stage of rapid development, and the momentum was like a bamboo, Qiao Wanfang was backed by the mayor and Bandung, there was no shortage of power or money, and the image was also in line with what you said.

"However, according to the timeline you said, Qiao Wanfang was already pregnant at that time and went to América to give birth, which doesn't match what you said."

Luo Qun nodded, concentrating on waiting for Fang Xu to say the name of the other person, obviously these last two were the main thing that Luo Qun needed to pay attention to.

"This second person, surnamed Qu, is called Qu Yan, the song of the song, the color of Yan, and he is also a big beauty in the people of the ancient city at that time."

"Qu Yan?"

Hearing this name, Luo Qun was stunned, after all, he grew up in the ancient city, and after taking over and forging ahead for so many years, Luo Qun, a rich and powerful person in the ancient city, is familiar with all of them, but at least he should have heard of them, but the name Qu Yan made him feel extremely unfamiliar, the surname Qu is not a big surname in the ancient city, it is very rare, and he has never heard of a rich man or a rich man's family surnamed Qu in the ancient city.

"Yes, Qu Yan."

Fang Xu nodded:

"This person is very low-key in the ancient city, and he rarely shows up in recent years, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, it is said that your mother should be more familiar with this person than me, but since your mother asked you to come to me, then let me tell you."
