Chapter 97: Love-Hate Drama

Ning Shoucheng looked at the tape, then at Ruan Jingtian, and suddenly changed the topic, and said: "Ning Jingwen was in distress twice, and you saved it." ”

Ruan Jingtian was stunned for a moment, this Ning Shoucheng's thinking jumped too much, why did he suddenly jump to Ning Ningwen's place? He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is my duty, if I see that the people of Zheguo are in danger and I don't take action, then I am not worthy of wearing this gendarme uniform." ”

"Although you are duty-oriented, public and private, I want to thank you. I'm Tranquility's father, you know this. Ning Shoucheng somewhat admired the young man in front of him.

"Yesterday you shook hands and talked to me, and I see that Reporter Ning is very similar to you, so I guess that Reporter Ning is your daughter. Ruan Jingtian did not hide his speculation.

"You have been in Dongshan City for many years, let's talk about the customs of Dongshan City. Ning Shoucheng changed the topic again.

Nguyen Jingtian told the historical origins, customs and habits of Dongshan City in a regular manner, Ning Shoucheng listened with great interest, and asked about the economic development and main industrial conditions of Dongshan City, and Ruan Jingtian explained them one by one.

After staying in Ning Shoucheng's room for nearly two hours, Ruan Jingtian came out. He was a little puzzled about the topic that Ning Shoucheng was talking about, giving people the impression that it was whimsical, unfocused, and seemed to be just small talk. But Ruan Jingtian knew that Ning Shoucheng, as the leader of Liuyun Province, would never chat and gossip, nor would he spend two hours grinding his teeth with him, what was Ning Shoucheng's purpose?

Ruan Jingtian thought about it for a while, but he couldn't get the gist of it, so he gave up thinking and rushed to the gendarmerie.

After Ning Shoucheng waited for Ruan Jingtian to leave, his secretary Wu Qingyu walked in and said, "Director of the Ning General Headquarters, Lian Chenghong, the head of the provincial water organ, wants to see you. ”

"Let him in. ”

Lian Chenghong walked in and said, "Director Ning." All three whistleblowers were found, and what they reported should be true. ”

"Lao Lian, immediately notify the General Administration of National Security, and we will interrogate Jiang Xuezi. Also, you go to Shengmei Commerce, bring this tape to them, and let him explain what the hell is going on. Ning Shoucheng took out a tape from the bag Ruan Jingtian gave him and handed it to Lian Chenghong.

Lian Chenghong took the tape, a little puzzled, and asked, "This...?"

"Hmph. Dongshan City is full of smoke and miasma, Xiao Junyan has audio tapes in his hands, and Shengmei Commercial also has audio tapes, what do they want to do? Use these unseemly things to blackmail the Zheguo government? Our public officials are about to become puppets of some people. You go to Shengmei Business to beat them and let them be honest, if they continue to do this nonsense, Zheguo will not be able to keep Shengmei Commerce. Ning Shoucheng's tone was a little cold, and he continued: "How is Xiao Junyan's injury?"

"I just sent someone to the army hospital to see it, and it's much better. Now able to walk on the ground. Lian Chenghong said.

"Arrange for the people of the provincial gendarmerie corps to strengthen the security in Xiao Junyan's ward, and I will go to the army hospital to see him now, and no one will be allowed to visit him until I arrive. ”

Ning Shoucheng stood up. Walked out of the room with Lian Chenghong.

Half an hour later, Ning Shoucheng walked into Xiao Junyan's hospital room. Xiao Junyan's complexion was obviously much better.

"Chief Ning, you came to see me in person, my injuries are out of the way. Able to go to work. Xiao Junyan was eager to go to work, and the head of the Ning headquarters personally came to Dongshan City to stabilize the situation, and Xiao Junyan was the leader of Dongshan City. Besides, the work of the War Department is handled by Chang Yifan, and he is not at ease. Chang Yifan is a shallow person, has no overall view, and often does things inconsiderately. Now that provincial-level leaders are gathered in Dongshan City, once there is a little mistake, it will be very bad.

"Don't be in a hurry at work, you take care of your injuries first. There are some things you need to think through. Ning Shoucheng said.

"Chief Ning, what do you mean..."Xiao Junyan didn't quite understand Ning Shoucheng's words.

"Tomorrow, you're going to be transferred to Springwater City for treatment. Before leaving, I will breathe with you, when you face the media and ask you about the grievances with the Hu family in public, I think you had better find a reason, what is this reason, you understand. Ning Shoucheng said word by word.

Xiao Junyan's face was stunned at first, but slowly began to turn gray, until it finally turned pale, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Chief Ning, for the sake of my face of following you loyally for many years, you can let me go and let me go home to farm." ”

Ning Shoucheng stared at him and said coldly: "Farming? Is farming a form of punishment? Why did you move Hu Qiuyuan? Do you know what kind of concessions our Zheguo made to Mai Guo in order to keep Hu Qiuyuan? Hmph, you and Jiang Xuezi are secretly controlling Dongshan City, do you really think I don't know?"

Xiao Junyan leaned on the edge of the bed and looked at Ning Shoucheng in horror. After Ning Shoucheng finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the ward.

Ruan Jingtian returned to the gendarmerie and ordered the gendarmes to send the disguised Hu Jiehua and other henchmen who had been killed by the gendarmes to the crematorium, and a fire turned them to ashes, and the name and photo of Hu Jiehua were prominently displayed on the wanted list. He handed over the interrogation and other aftermath to Zheng Kaidi. Ruan Jingtian is still quite satisfied with Zheng Kaidi's support for his work, and he doesn't mind letting Zheng Kaidi do more.

The next day, Ning Shoucheng and other provincial-level leaders left Dongshan City with Xiao Junyan, Hu Qiuyuan, and other people involved in the case, and returned to Quanshui City. The work of the gendarmerie is still the same as before, but the work enthusiasm of the gendarmerie is high, because in a series of incidents, the gendarmerie has achieved good results one after another, especially the rescue of Xiao Junyan, which can be called a classic, and has been commended by the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters and the Dongshan City Army Department, so the gendarmes always hold their heads high in front of other departments and are particularly proud.

Ruan Jingtian was not complacent, and handed over the daily work to the three deputies to take care of, and he began to study the Dan Classic, preparing to use the Qiankun Ding to refine the Dan.

After four days of study, Ruan Jingtian decided to use the Qiankun Ding to refine Pei Yuan Dan. According to the inscription of Qiankun Ding, Qiankun Ding was used to refine the cultivation pill, but Ruan Jingtian did not have a prescription for cultivating the true pill, so he had to use the prescription of Pei Yuan Dan on the Qiankun Ding. Pei Yuan Dan is the holy pill in the Dan canon, and its effect is to enhance the true qi power of the inner family. Ruan Jingtian did not have Pei Yuan Dan in his seizures, and he estimated that it might be difficult for the alchemist to gather the medicinal materials needed for Pei Yuan Dan, because there were fourteen kinds of medicinal materials needed to refine Pei Yuan Dan, including eight main materials. There are six types of auxiliary materials (see Chapter 24).

Ruan Jingtian had already gathered these fourteen medicinal herbs among the seizures contributed by the Daishan Mountain Range and the Lao Lin Sect (see Chapters 82 and 87), so he decided to refine Pei Yuan Dan.

At night, a small bungalow on Longyin Road.

Ruan Jingtian took out the blue grass in the Qiankun Ding, poured out the soil, cleaned it, and then embedded the eight spirit stones into the eight grooves in the base and outer layer of the ancient tripod. Qiankun buzzed, which seemed to express the joy of pleasure. Ruan Jingtian estimated that these eight spirit stones formed a special magnetic field that stimulated the spirituality of Qiankun Ding.

He took out a piece of jade slip obtained from the cellar of Orchid Garden No. 6 and ran the Xuangang Technique. Causing Xuan Qi to penetrate into the Jade Slip, the Jade Slip shows how to use spirit stones to arrange a formation that raises the temperature of the flame, a complex formation that can increase the temperature of the flame by more than ninety percent (see Chapter 88).

Ruan Jingtian sprinkled spirit stones around Qiankun Ding according to the formation described in the jade slip, and then took out the nitrous oxide and oxygen that had been prepared for a long time, the temperature of these two gases was 3,000 degrees, and if the spirit stone henge was fueled, the temperature could reach more than 5,000 degrees. Meet the conditions for the use of Qiankun Ding (see Chapter 35).

He ignited these two gases around the Qiankun Ding, only to see the flames suddenly rise under the action of the Spirit Stone Formation. Ruan Jingtian felt that the heat wave was pressing, and he ran the Xuangang Technique with all his might. Fill the body with Xuan Qi to resist the high temperature emitted by the flames of more than 5,000 degrees.

According to the process of making zuò introduced by Dan Zhidian, he threw the quantitative medicinal materials into the Qiankun Ding in turn. After a while, bursts of medicinal fragrance came from the Qiankun Ding. Ruan Jingtian was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that there was a door. He continued to purify step by step according to the steps of the Dan no Canon.

Two hours later. There was a burnt smell, according to the description of the Dan Zhidian, this should be the moment of Cheng Dan, Ruan Jingtian watched as the medicinal liquid in the Ding gradually became a round ball, until finally it became six balls slightly smaller than eggs, but it was a little black, as if it was burnt.

Ruan Jingtian took out the results of the first alchemy, which was completely different from the Saint Pill he had seized, the Saint Pill was white and smooth, and looking at its appearance, it made people feel good. However, the Pei Yuan Dan he refined was black, and the surface was not smooth, and when he looked at it, he felt disgusted that he didn't dare to eat it.

Ruan Jingtian re-studied the Dan Canon, and finally found out what the problem was, it turned out that the flame used in the Dan Canon was a flame of more than 2,000 degrees, and the flame he used was more than 5,000 degrees, how could this not be scorched?

The condition for using Qiankun Ding must be a flame with a temperature of more than 5,000 degrees, is it feasible to use a flame of more than 2,000 degrees?

Ruan Jingtian decided to give it a try, he withdrew the Spirit Stone Formation, re-ignited the flame, the temperature at this time was about 3,000 degrees, and restarted refining, although there was a medicinal fragrance, but it was far from being as strong as last time. Two hours later, he found that the liquid did not form a spherical solid at all, but was just a pile of semi-liquid and semi-solid paste.

He understood that the condition for using the Qiankun Ding must be a flame of more than 5,000 degrees, otherwise, the Qiankun Ding would not work. He studied the Dan Book repeatedly, and the refining steps were correct, but the refining container in the Dan Book was a glassware, not some unknown metal material. He didn't prepare glassware, and his original plan was to use the Qiankun Ding to refine the elixir.

He dug through the instructions for the use of the Qiankun Ding, and finally found that he had missed an important matter, that is, the alchemy method (see Chapter 35). Before he had reached the Xuan Qi stage, he had tried the alchemy technique, but it had no effect, so he gave up this technique. Now that he is in the Xuan Qi stage, can he use the alchemy technique?

Ruan Jingtian rearranged the Spirit Stone Formation, lit the flames, and threw the medicinal materials into the Qiankun Ding in turn, while running the alchemy formula above the Qiankun Ding, he felt that the Xuan Qi seemed to be integrated into the medicinal liquid according to the flow route of the alchemy formula.

He was engrossed in following the refining steps while running the alchemy method without interruption, which posed a severe test of his willpower and concentration.

Ruan Jingtian was sweating profusely, he felt tired, but he didn't want to give up, so he had to grit his teeth and insist. He had never been so highly focused, his entire attention was on the Qiankun Ding, and his mind was not distracted.

Two hours later, there was no burnt taste, and six round white spheres appeared in the Qiankun Ding. Ruan Jingtian took out these six refreshing spheres, and his excitement was indescribable. He said to himself, "Is this Pei Yuan Dan? It seems to be more comfortable to look at than Sheng Dan." ”

He ingested a homemade Pei Yuan Dan, which melted in his mouth. Suddenly, he felt hot all over his body, and the abundant Xuan Qi seemed to be generated out of thin air, impacting the meridians of his body.

Ruan Jingtian hurriedly ran the Xuangang Technique. Refining the abundant Xuan Qi brought by Pei Yuan Dan. Two hours later, Ruan Jingtian stood up in surprise, and he felt that his skill had increased by one level, from the early stage of the primary stage of Xuan Qi to the middle level of the primary stage.

He put the remaining five Pei Yuan Dan into the jade bottle, re-lit the flame, and refined another furnace of Pei Yuan Dan, this time he felt a little relaxed, after all, he had an experience, he was confident, and he didn't feel scared. Therefore, it is more convenient to refine.

Two hours later, he took out six Pei Yuan Dan and put them into the jade bottle with satisfaction. He found that the operation of the alchemy technique actually helped the cultivation of the Divine Soul Technique, and the Divine Soul Technique had reached the fourth-level level.

There are basically three sources of traditional Chinese medicine in Ruan Jing Tian's hands: the basement of a merchant's villa (see Chapter 49), the Daishan mountain range collected by itself, and the off-road vehicle of the Lao Lin school. In the next twenty days, according to the recipe of the Dan Classic, he refined these medicinal materials into various pills, including the four holy pills that had been seized from the warriors of Zheguo before, but the quality of the pills refined by Qiankun Ding was several times higher than that of the holy pills.

Ruan Jingtian looked at the more than eighty bottles of pills he had refined. In his heart, he was very happy, in the process of alchemy, his Divine Soul Technique had advanced to the sixth layer, and he could use this technique on people who were five or six meters away.

When Ruan Jingtian's alchemy achieved heavy results. The officialdom of Higashiyama Castle has also undergone heavy changes.

Xiao Junyan was reprimanded by the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency for serious disciplinary violations, and at the same time removed from his post as the head of the Dongshan City War Department.

Chang Yifan was transferred to Laishan City and served as the deputy director of the Laishan City Water Agency. In fact, his official position was downgraded by one level. This is because the Deputy Secretary of the Army is a member of the Joint Council, and is ranked ahead of the head of the Water Agency, which is a veritable third position. The deputy head of the water agency did not even have a bench for the joint meeting. Not to mention the number of top positions.

The Liuyun Provincial War Department appointed Sun Maoyu as the head of the Dongshan City War Department, and Sun Maoyu was originally the director of the Provincial War Department's Supervision Department, which can be said to be half a rank of official promotion. Chen Baitang, the former head of the Laishan City Water Agency, served as the deputy minister of the Dongshan City Army Department, which can be regarded as a small step.

Hu Qiuyuan is guilty of treason and is being investigated and interrogated, and he is removed from his post as head of the Dongshan City Water Agency. Wu Baijia, deputy director of the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency, served as the head of the Dongshan City Water Agency, which can be regarded as a flat transfer.

Ruan Jingtian coldly watched the changing Great King Banner at the head of the city, and the Liuyun Provincial War Department and the Water Agency seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the local officials in Dongshan City, and the three heavyweight members in the joint meeting were all from other places.

But this situation made Ruan Jingtian very happy, because the main people who coveted the underwater Dragon City of the Longyin River were almost all wiped out, the merchants were wiped out by the General Administration of National Security, the Hu family was almost uprooted by the Dongshan City War Department, Xiao Junyan and Jiang Xuezi were also taken away by the Liuyun Provincial War Department and the Water Agency, and the only thing that made Ruan Jingtian regret was that he could not kill Hu Qiuyuan.

On this day, Ruan Jingtian received a call from Ning Jingwen. Ning Jingwen stayed in Dongshan City for seven days last time, although he often came to Ruan Jingtian, but he didn't seem to be as arrogant as before, but a little more shy. Ruan Jingtian didn't pay too much attention to these details, girl, is always fickle, no one can predict what she will become in the next moment.

"Captain Gong, do you have time to come to Spring Water City?" Ning Jingwen's voice always carried a slight hint of mockery.

"Reporter Ning, do you have a happy event? If it is a happy event, I will definitely go to cheer you on. Ruan Jingtian was a little puzzled, and Ning Jingwen sent an invitation, which was a very unusual thing.

"Go, are you just looking forward to my happy event?" Ning Jingwen was obviously a little angry.

"Happy events are good things, of course I hope that my friends will have good things, don't you want you to have good things for yourself?"

"Less poor mouth. Don't you want to know where there is a spirit stone, my grandfather said that if you go to see him, he may sue you. In a few days, my grandfather will return to Zheguo, if you want to know the whereabouts of the spirit stone, then hurry up to Quanshui City to see my grandfather. ”

Ruan Jingtian felt in his heart, Ning Jingwen's grandfather was Ning Shoucheng's father, and he must also be a powerful character, he wanted to see himself? What is his purpose? Ruan Jingtian would not be foolish enough to think that his purpose was just to tell him about the whereabouts of the spirit stone.

He thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't resist the temptation of spirit stones, although he obtained a lot of spirit stones from the cellar of No. 6 Orchid Garden, but his demand was also very large, and forty alchemy pills alone had already been used, and it was not a good thing to sit and eat nothing.

"Okay, I'll drive to Springwater City tonight. Ruan Jingtian said into the microphone.

"I knew you'd come, huh. If it weren't for the spirit stone that attracted you, would you come to Spring Water City? By the way, tomorrow morning, the case of Xiao Junyan's murder of Hu Qiuyuan will be openly tried in the Quanshui City Grand Court. ”

When Ruan Jingtian heard Hu Qiuyuan's name, his eyes lit up, maybe he could see this thief in court, then he would have a chance to kill Hu Qiuyuan.

He returned to the small bungalow on Longyin Road, took thirty bottles of the elixir he had refined, and went to the store to buy a lot of local products from Dongshan City. and bought a bracelet of the best tourmaline for Ning Jingwen. This time he went to Quanshui City to see Ning Jingwen's grandfather, he couldn't be empty-handed, and he also had to visit Ning Shoucheng and Liang Qianli, so he prepared a rich gift.

In the evening, he and the driver Lao Huang finished dinner, and then drove Ling Zhiche and went straight to the provincial capital Quanshui City. The distance from Higashiyama Castle to Quanshui Castle is about 800 kilometers, and it takes about six hours if the car is driving at full speed.

At night. There were few cars on the road, and Lao Huang's driving skills were good, so just after midnight, Ruan Jingtian and Lao Huang arrived at Quanshui City. Nguyen Ching Tien found a medium-grade hotel in the city center. and Lao Huang lived together.

Early the next morning, Ruan Jingtian called Ning Jingwen and told him that he had come to Quanshui City. Ning Jingwen was very happy and asked him if he was going to observe the public trial of Xiao Junyan. Ruan Jingtian replied yes, and Ning Jingwen said to go to the audit together. Ruan Jingtian thought to herself that she was a reporter, and it was normal for her to observe such a public trial.

It's past nine o'clock in the morning. Ning Jing Wen appeared in the hotel where Ruan Jingtian was staying, Ruan Jingtian hurriedly presented the best tourmaline bracelet, Ning Jing Wen glanced at him, but his eyebrows were full of pleasure, and he put the bracelet on his wrist on the spot, but said in his mouth: "Let's pay it, it is a benefit fee for me to help you (see Chapter 86), let you go this time." ”

Ruan Jingtian hurriedly said: "Thank you for helping me ask about the whereabouts of the spirit stone, this bracelet is given to you by me, and the help fee is calculated separately, what do you want, as long as I can do it, I will not be ambiguous." ”

"Are you rich? I don't covet your money, but I want to see if you have the heart to save money for you, so that I can marry you a wife." Ning Jingwen teased, and then said: "Don't talk to you about this, we'll get to the big court soon." The court was convened at 9:40. ”

When the two came to the Grand Court, they saw that there were already many people inside. Indeed, it is difficult to have the opportunity to see officials at the level of the main department in public trial, so how can people miss the opportunity to hunt for curiosities?

The trial began at 9:40 a.m., and the prosecutor charged Xiao Junyan with three charges: accepting bribes, abusing power, and murdering colleagues.

Ruan Jingtian listened to the prosecutor's boring statement of the facts related to the first two charges, and saw that many people in the auditorium were bored and even dozed off. Indeed, almost every Zheguo official will put on these two accusations, which official did not accept other people's banquets, and it was still a lavish banquet worth 10,000 gold, is this considered bribery?

In the mindset of Zheguo officials, eating in the stomach is not considered bribery, and only when they accept gold and silver property can they be regarded as bribery, so ordinary people have long been numb to the acceptance of bribes by Zheguo officials.

"If you don't get rich as an official, you won't invite me to come", this folk saying has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The public thinks that officials take bribes, and this is not a big deal at all.

The abuse of power is even more of a joke for the people. What does it mean to abuse? Xiao Junyan, as the chief scoop of Dongshan City, can take care of everything. The division of responsibilities of the leader is binding on the deputy, and for the first leader, it is nothing. Moreover, ordinary people did not know what the number one leader should and should not manage, so the observers did not understand or were interested in the prosecutor's rambling accusations that Xiao Junyan ignored the division of duties and unwarranted interference in the work of his deputies.

The topic of public interest finally arrived, that is, to accuse Xiao Junyan of murdering his colleague, that is, to murder Hu Qiuyuan, the head of the Dongshan Chengshui Agency.

The prosecutor asked Xiao Junyan: "Why are you repeatedly preparing to murder Hu Qiuyuan?"

Xiao Junyan paused for a moment, and then said, "I really can't stand Hu Qiuyuan's hook-up* with my wife. ”

The people who were listening to the audience immediately became excited, and the aforementioned accusations of bribery and abuse of power had long since been forgotten by the agitated people. This kind of private relationship between men and women attracts people's attention, especially the emotional entanglement between high-ranking officials.

The prosecutor's affection was also stimulated, imagining the embarrassment and fragrant scene of the first leader secretly seeing the fourth leader hugging his wife, and he couldn't help but get hot, and his lower body began to react. The prosecutor asked, "How did Hu Qiuyuan hook up with your wife?"

"Ever since Hu Qiuyuan came to Dongshan City, when he first met my insider, I noticed that something was wrong. Hu Qiuyuan's gaze at my insiders is always affectionate, and my insiders are also affectionate towards him. Later, the two actually ran to the hotel in broad daylight to open a room. I can't stand Hu Qiuyuan and my insider's nonsense more and more, everyone is commenting, as a man, how should I deal with this kind of thing when I encounter and know about it?" Xiao Junyan said with great grief and indignation.

Some of the spectators were bold and shouted, "Kill this adulter!"

The judge struck the hammer hard and said, "Keep the courtroom quiet." Suddenly no one in the courtroom dared to squeak anymore.

Ruan Jingtian was directly stunned, he had heard so many tapes, and there was no whisper about it, and there were no such rumors in Dongshan City, this was really eye-popping news!

Looking at Xiao Junyan, who bluntly confessed that he was wearing a green hat, Ruan Jingtian couldn't believe that he could hear a man's bitter and hesitant voice, was this Xiao Junyan's unbearable confiding and outburst? This matter has gone far beyond the scope of crimes committed by public officials, and has become a bloody love-hate drama.

This kind of bridge deeply shocked everyone's heart, yes, no man can endure this kind of shame, Xiao Junyan no matter how he tried to kill Hu Qiuyuan, it was not too much.

Ruan Jingtian had never met Xiao Junyan's insiders, but he had seen several wives and concubines of Hu Qiuyuan on the Hu family's fishing boat, they were all beautiful women with beautiful flowers and all kinds of amorous feelings, and they had a deep affection for Hu Qiuyuan, otherwise, they would not have jumped into the deep sea with unyielding loyalty. Since Hu Qiuyuan, who has a group of wives and concubines and beautiful women, can be fascinated by Xiao Junyan's insiders, then how much Xiao Junyan's insiders are alluring to the city and the country. Ruan Jingtian couldn't help but want to take a glimpse of Hu Junyan's inner face and see what kind of heavenly appearance and national color he looked like, which actually confused Hu Qiuyuan.

But the court did not summon Xiao Junyan's insider, but brought Hu Qiuyuan to the court.

Hu Qiuyuan looked haggard and in low spirits, and it seemed that Hu Qiuyuan must have suffered a lot in the face of the trial of treason. Ruan Jingtian knew that Hu Qiuyuan was definitely cheated by his nephew Hu Jiehua, and to this day, Ruan Jingtian doesn't understand why Hu Jiehua wanted to arrest Jiang Xuezi, is there also an unknown love and hatred between Hu Jiehua and Jiang Xuezi......?
