Ruan Jingtian's conversation with Wang Sudao, Minister of Provincial Affairs, was quite decent, and it was all formatted language. Ruan Jingtian somewhat understood why people in the officialdom like to say some clear soup and little water, which are not for ordinary people, but for colleagues. If your language is unconventional, it is very likely that your political opponents will interpret it differently from a new and different perspective, because a sentence or an event can always be read from different angles, and sometimes it may be diametrically opposed.

For example, if someone commits a crime, and the relatives report it, and finally the offender is punished, from one point of view: the relatives are righteous and destroy the relatives, and from the other angle: the relatives destroy the family affection. The key question is: What is righteousness, whose righteousness, what is kinship, whose parent?

In a top-only bureaucracy, the top likes to attack each other, so that the top can control the bottom. If the bottom is hugged, the upper part will feel uneasy and wonder if the lower part is going to overturn the top. On the surface, the top does not like to make a small report below, but in fact, he is happy in his heart, and he also rewards whistleblowers and informers, so it is very popular in officialdom to interpret the meaning of words. As soon as something new and different comes out of a sentence, then countless versions of the interpretation will burrow into the ears above. Regardless of whether the above will take action against the speaker, in short, planting a thorn in the heart of the above will be bad for the speaker after all.

In this kind of officialdom, everyone is careful to say as much as possible words that are not nutritious and have no substance, which is the trick of self-preservation.

Although Ruan Jingtian didn't like to say these words of grinding his teeth, in order to achieve his goal, he had to make compromises. In the Tao, there must always be scruples and constraints. It is an eternal truth to maximize benefits under constraints.

When Ruan Jingtian walked out of the building of the Provincial Personnel Department, he suddenly saw a crowd in front of the provincial government building not far away, and a long car blocked the door.

He got into his car. Lao Huang was waiting for him in the car, and Ruan Jingtian asked casually, "Lao Huang, what happened to the provincial government?"

"Captain Gong, I listened to a few words just now, and it seems that a vice governor misfired his pistol and injured himself. ”

Ruan Jingtian looked through the car window in front of the provincial government, only to see a stretcher being lifted out of it, and a bloody person lying on the stretcher, he looked at the face of the person on the stretcher. It felt familiar, but he knew in his heart that he had never seen this person before, and that it might be that he had seen someone who had some resemblance to this person.

Stretchers were loaded onto ambulances, accompanied by police cars and patrol cars in front of and on the left and right, and these large and small cars lined up in a spectacular line, roaring away from the Liuyun provincial government.

Ruan Jingtian secretly wondered in his heart: With such a big pomp, could it be that the person on the stretcher was Governor Xu? But Governor Xu would be idle and fiddle with the pistol and go off and hurt himself? This is simply a big joke.

Thinking of Governor Xu, he suddenly thought of the word "left and right" obtained from the auction. Speaking from the heart. Governor Xu's calligraphy is okay, but to say that Governor Xu is a master of calligraphy, or a talented calligrapher, is to say flattery to the throne under Governor Xu's ass.

Nguyen Ching Tien did not know whether Governor Xu would vote for himself at the joint meeting. However, after taking the two words of Governor Xu, Ruan Jingtian did not feel at a loss, maybe these two words can come in handy in the future.

Return to your hotel near the Provincial Hospital. He called Ning Jingwen and told him that the matter had been done and that he was going back to Dongshan City. Tranquility said that her grandfather wanted to see him. Ruan Jingtian promised to go to see him in a while.

Ning Xianghai did not live with Ning Shoucheng. Instead, he lived in a quiet villa, and the last time Ruan Jingtian saw Ning Xianghai in this small villa.

Ruan Jingtian first went to the road next to Ning Shoucheng's villa to pick up Ning Jingwen, and then drove to Ning Xianghai's small courtyard.

"Xiaomu, do you want to teach Jingwen to cultivate martial arts?" Ning Xianghai squinted his eyes and looked at Ruan Jingtian and Ning Ningwen.

"Grandpa, I had this idea. Jingwen was in distress this time, and I was deeply disturbed. Practicing a little martial arts can strengthen your body, prolong your life, and you can also protect yourself more or less. Ruan Jingtian said.

"Our Ning family is a family, and our ancestors have left some martial arts, but they belong to the masculine series. Jingwen's father doesn't like martial arts, so he studied Wen in politics, Jingwen is a girl, not suitable for practicing the martial arts of the Ning family, and I didn't think about letting Jingwen practice martial arts. Girls fight and kill all day long, what kind of system do they become. If a family relies on women to fight, then what do you need a man to do? However, you want to teach Jingwen some martial arts to strengthen the body, and I agree with that. Filial piety, I've said so much in a rambling way, don't dislike me. ”

"Grandpa, how could I dislike you? You're right, girls have to be protected by men, and this time Jingwen was injured, I didn't protect it well. ”

Ning Xianghai looked at Ning Ning Wen and said, "Jing Wen, after your relationship with Xiao Mu is settled, you have to think about the future. Girls always have to take care of men and families, this is a woman's duty. Remember, don't lose your duty. Ning Xianghai said with some sadness.

"Grandpa, I know. Ning Jingwen felt that his nose was a little sour, and he held Ning Xianghai's hand tightly.

"Xiaomu, Jingwen, I will return to Zheguo the day after tomorrow, and I may not come to Assassinate the country again. Remember, both of you, at all times and under all circumstances, do not lose your heart. ”

Ruan Jingtian felt that Ning Xianghai's heart was very lonely, this old man's wisdom was deeply hidden, but he thought deeply and saw far away. He took out two more bottles of Healing Saint Pill and handed them to Ning Xianghai.

Ning Xianghai didn't refuse, and said: "Xiaomu, you go to Ning Jingwen's house at noon to sit down, I told Jing Wen's father, and he said to go home for dinner at noon." ”

When Ruan Jingtian heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because when he arrived at Ning Shoucheng's home, his nature changed, and he was the legendary meeting parent. I am good friends with Ning Shoucheng's daughter, don't you give someone a word for being a father?

Ruan Jingtian drove Ling Zhi's car, and Ning Jingwen sat in the co-pilot. On the side of a sparsely populated road, Ruan Jingtian stopped the car and said bitterly: "Jingwen, now that I am lying to people as Gong Xiaomu, will you think that I am a liar? Am I very bad? Your grandfather is so good to me, I don't dare to look at him." You say, if your father knew that I was a stabber and an imposter of Gong Xiaomu, would he agree that you would be nice to me? Would he throw me in prison or kill me?"

Ning Jingwen was silent, in such a tense relationship between the Assassin Kingdom and the Zhe Kingdom, if Ning Shoucheng knew that this Gong Xiaomu was disguised by the Assassin Country, he would definitely let the gendarmerie arrest the fake Gong Xiaomu. Even killed the impostor.

But if he didn't confess to Ning Shoucheng, it would mean that Ning Jingwen and Ruan Jingtian would jointly deceive Ning Shoucheng and everyone in the Ning family. This made Ning Jingwen helpless, and she didn't know what to do.

Ruan Jingtian thought of Gong Xiaomu's father, Gong Jiyi, who was far away in Zheguo, if he continued to use Gong Xiaomu's identity, then Gong Jiyi must come forward. Will Gong Jiyi and the rest of the Gong family find out that they are Xibei goods?

He thought for a while, and then made a heart, thinking that he and Ning Jingwen had already made a heart-to-heart anyway, as for other issues, take a step at a time, if Gong Jiyi and the rest of his family had a good character. So it's not too much to be a junior, after all, borrowing Gong Xiaomu's identity has also done a lot of things, and the right should be a reward for the Gong family.

"Jingwen, I don't want to lose you. If I continue to appear as Gong Xiaomu now, and then find out the identity of your father, mother, and others after the war is over, do you think it will be okay?" asked Ruan Jingtian.

"Jingtian, I don't want to leave you, so I have to do this first. Ning Jingwen's eyes turned red. She was indeed in a dilemma.

"I want to tell the two of us about the two of us to the Gong Xiaomu family of Zheguo, after all, my identity is now a child of the Gong family. What about your opinion?"

"Have you seen Gong Xiaomu's family?" Ning Jingwen was a little worried that Ruan Jingtian's identity would be seen through.

"Gong Takashi has a younger sister in the Higashiyama Castle Water Agency, and his father once called me and the others. I didn't touch it. ”

"Did his sister suspect you?"

"I've met a few times, and she seems to be a little skeptical the first two times, and she should be used to it later. Ruan Jingtian carefully recalled the situation of meeting Gong Chunzi, especially the second meeting. Gong Junzi and Hatsumiko chat with the "wounded" Ruan Jingtian in the army hospital, and Ruan Jingtian is clearly aware of the confusion in Gong Junzi's eyes (see Chapter 33).

"That's good, it scares me to death. When are you going to talk to Gong Xiaomu's parents?" Ning Jingwen patted his chest. Said nervously.

"I'll call Tetsukook's father in a moment. Wait until noon, I'll talk to your father about the matter between us and see if Director Ning agrees. Jingwen, what if your parents don't agree with our matter?"

"My dad and mom are fine, my dad often talks about you, and she says that your writing is good (see chapter 80), and you say that dad will agree? Mom will not interfere with my opinion. ”

Ruan Jingtian and Ning Ningwen came to the telephone and telegraph office together. Ruan Jingtian took out a small notebook, which recorded the information of Gong Xiaomu collected. He found Miyajiichi's phone number and started calling.

"Dad, hello, I'm Xiaomu, how is my family?" asked Ruan Jingtian.

"Xiaomu, hello, everything is good at home. Is there anything wrong with you?" Gong Jiyi was a little surprised, this son was very rebellious and rarely took the initiative to call.

"Dad, I talked about my girlfriend, tell you about it. ”

"Ahh

"The girl's name is Ning Jingwen, and she is the daughter of the head of the Ning Shoucheng Headquarters of the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters, what is your opinion with your mother?" Ruan Jingtian looked at Ning Ning Wen and said.

"What! The girl of the Ning family?!You wait a while, I'll call your mother to come and answer the phone." There was a shout from Miyajiichi on the phone.

After a while, the voice of Gong Xiaomu's mother came from the phone: "Xiaomu, you have a girlfriend, this is a good thing." Is the girl a girl from the Ning family? If you are satisfied, your father and I will agree. Can you show Jingwen to me and your dad?"

"Mom, I'm busy with work and can't leave, if you and Dad are free, you can go to Quanshui City together and see the head of Jingwen and Ning. ”

"Daddy, Xiaomu asked us to go to Quanshui City and see the head of Jingwen and Ning, what do you say?"

Gong Xiaomu's father, Gong Jiyi, took the phone and said, "Xiaomu, what are you doing with Jingwen? Have you met Director Ning?"

"At noon today, I went to the home of the head of the Ning headquarters as a guest. ”

"Well, when you go to the head of the Ning headquarters, you must pay attention to etiquette and don't be as taciturn as before. When you finish talking to the head of the Ning headquarters, give me a call home. ”

"I see, let's do it first, I'm going to hang up. Ruan Jingtian hung up the phone, turned his head to Ning Jingwen and said, "I received a call from the father of the Gong family before. His tone was cold, much better than just now. ”

Ning Jingwen looked at Ruan Jingtian with a complicated expression and asked, "Who killed Gong Xiaomu?"

"Hu Shitian of the Hu family. Ruan Jingtian remembered the scene of Hu Shitian's brutal killing of Gong Xiaomu (see Chapter 20), and sighed in his heart.

After having lunch in Ning Shoucheng's big villa, Ruan Jingtian came to Ning Shoucheng's study.

"Takaki, according to your character, I originally wanted you to serve in the government department, so that your hard character can be honed, after all, the government has less contact with your life-and-death struggle. However, not only are the various anti-philosophical organizations becoming more and more powerful. Even within the Zheguo is full of contradictions, and in the long run, sooner or later major changes will occur. So, after careful consideration, let you continue to serve in the powerful department. The water agency is a special and powerful department, and you have to be prepared for difficult tasks. Ning Shoucheng said earnestly.

Ruan Jingtian listened silently and did not say a word.

"Xiaomu, although the province has adjusted the leadership of Dongshan City, the new leadership team is not familiar with the situation in Dongshan City. And the committee members need time to run in with each other, so the shape of Higashiyama Castle is still not optimistic. This time, I sent you to the water agency, hoping that you can stabilize the situation of the public officials at the main level and the lower levels of Dongshan Castle, actually. The cornerstone of social stability lies in grassroots public officials, because grassroots public officials directly face ordinary people, and they understand the demands of ordinary people. If there is a problem with the public officials at the grassroots level, there will inevitably be a sharp upheaval in society. So. The province has sent you to the position of executive deputy director of the water organ, and you must do a good job in this work. Ning Shoucheng continued.

Ruan Jingtian thought for a while and asked, "Director Ning." If I am found to be corrupt by a large number of grassroots public officials, do I have the authority to deal with them all?"

Ning Shoucheng stared at Ruan Jingtian and said, "Xiaomu, it is your duty to deal with corrupt public officials within your purview, but when dealing with relevant personnel, you must ensure the stability of public officials and ordinary people, and no large-scale mass incidents can occur." ”

Ruan Jingtian nodded, Ning Shoucheng's meaning was obvious, that is, Ning Shoucheng was dissatisfied with the casualties of many civilians in the Qingfang incident many days ago, but the main responsibility for that incident was not with the gendarmerie, but Xiao Junyan should not use the army to suppress the ordinary people of Zheguo.

"Let me tell you something, a few days ago, I caught some suspicious people targeting you in the provincial hospital, they are the killers of Dongshamen. According to investigation, Vice Governor Wang Zhonglu hired Dongshamen to kill you. You can know this in your heart, and you can't tell anyone about it. However, you have to pay attention to the remnants of the East Gate, which is said to have quite a few masters. Ning Shoucheng suddenly said something that Ruan Jingtian didn't expect.

Ruan Jingtian wondered in his heart, could it be that Wang Zhonglu knew that he had poisoned his son? This matter is not good, if he does not get it right, his identity will be completely exposed.

"Chief Ning, why did Wang Zhonglu kill me?" asked Ruan Jingtian cautiously.

Ning Shoucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since this matter involves you, I will tell you some information, note: What I am talking about below is top secret, even for Jingwen, I can't say it."

Wang Zhonglu's son, Wang Zhifei, hired a killer from the Black Dragon Society to kill you, but the killer seriously injured Jingwen. But Wang Zhifei died of a strange poison again, this Wang Zhifei is innocent of death, not worth mentioning. Wang Zhonglu was angry in his heart, in order to fulfill his son's wish, so he wanted you to die. The two of them are really a narrow-minded father and son. Ning Shoucheng thought of Jingwen's injury, and hated Wang Zhifei with teeth.

Ruan Jingtian's heart was a little settled, and he secretly said that this Wang Zhonglu's psychology was a little perverted, but as a vice governor, he did such a dirty thing. How can he offend some super-bosses? In the past, he offended the city-level leaders, but now he is directly worried about the provincial-level leaders. Is he compatible with the eight characters of the official?

Ning Shoucheng said something that surprised Ruan Jingtian: "Xiaomu, I heard that you bid for a painting of Governor Xu, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Governor Xu wrote two words: left and right, I felt that these two words were well written, so I took a picture. Ruan Jingtian's heart moved: Why did Ning Shoucheng pay attention to this matter?

"Governor Xu is the president of the Liuyun Provincial Calligraphy Association, and of course his handwriting is good! You take good care of this handwriting!" Ning Shoucheng smiled softly, but Ruan Jingtian seemed to hear a trace of contempt from his laughter.

Ning Shoucheng was silent, staring at Ruan Jingtian. Ruan Jingtian knew that he should talk about Ning Ningwen, he sorted out his thoughts, and said stubbornly: "Uncle." You must know about me and Jingwen. What do you think of the matter between my uncle and aunt?"

"Takagi, when it comes to Jingwen's personal matters, her mother and I respect Jingwen's opinion. Have you told your parents about this?" Ning Shoucheng asked lightly.

"Having said that, my dad and mom agreed. ”

"Xiaomu, if your father and mother have free time, you let them go to Quanshui City, and I, as the landlord, will entertain them. Ning Shoucheng asked.

"Okay. I will tell my father and mother that they should come to the city of springs to see you and your aunt. Thank you uncle and aunt for agreeing with me and Jingwen. ”

"Hyoki, let's go outside and talk to Jingwen's mother and Jingwen. Ning Shoucheng stood up and walked towards the door.

Ning Jingwen and her mother were chatting in the living room, and when they saw Ning Shoucheng and Ruan Jingtian coming out, they quickly stood up.

"Hyoki, sit down, Jingwen. You sit down next to your mom. Ning Shoucheng said.

Ning Jingwen sat next to her mother like a well-behaved kitten, and Ruan Jingtian sat next to Ning Shoucheng.

"Jingwen, Xiaomu just told me about you, have you decided to talk to Xiaomu about friends?" Ning Shoucheng asked in one more move.

"Yes. Ning Jingwen lowered his head and said softly.

"Silence. Your mother and I thought so, and before you got married, you continued to work and live here in the Liuyun Daily in Quanshui City. Wait until you get married. Or Hyoki is transferred to Izumi City to work, or Jingwen goes to Hyoki, and the two of you go out to live your own lives. Or maybe Takaki takes your mom and dad over to live with you, do you have any opinions?"

Ruan Jingtian and Ning Jingwen said in unison: "No opinion. ”

Ning Jingwen's mother saw that the matter had been completed, and looked at Ruan Jingtian with some pleasing eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiaomu, when you go to Quanshui City in the future, don't stay in a hotel, just come here to live." Jingwen, take care of Xiaomu more in the future. I heard your father say that Takaki's work is tiring. ”

Ning Jingwen glanced at her mother and said, "Mom, I'm not married yet, you are just looking at Xiaomu, am I your daughter or not!"

Ruan Jingtian hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, aunt, you will inevitably trouble aunt in the future, Jingwen is very good to me." ”

Wang Zhonglu was shot in the leg by his own pistol, and after a brief treatment at the hospital, Yu Leicai, the head of the guard regiment, asked for a confession alone. Wang Zhonglu was very honorable, and he confessed to the murder of Liang Qianli, and also explained that Tongguò Zheguo asked Dongshamen to kill Gong Xiaomu.

Yu Leicai escorted Wang Zhonglu, took the confession, came to Liang Lilan's ward, presented the confession to Liang Lilan who was leaning on the head of the bed, and briefly stated Wang Zhonglu's crime.

Liang Lilan listened to Yu Leicai's report, flipped through his confession, and after a long time, said: "Leicai, bring Wang Zhonglu in." ”

Yu Leicai agreed, and immediately went out and pulled Wang Zhonglu into the ward from the guards, and pressed him down in front of Liang Lilan's bed.

Liang Lilan stretched out his hand to Yu Leicai, who hurriedly loaded the bullet of the pistol, opened the safe, reversed the muzzle, and handed it to Liang Lilan.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After three gunshots, three bloody holes appeared on Wang Zhonglu's head.

Liang Lilan handed the pistol to Yu Leicai, waved his hand, and said with a lonely expression: "Give Ning Shoucheng a look, and burn the confession in front of Ning Shoucheng." Tell the people outside: Refuse any visits!" With that, he lay down and turned his back, two lines of tears streaming from his eyes.

Yu Leicai put away his pistol, came to the door, and called two guards in. Two guards dragged the dead Wang Zhonglu away.

Wan Xueliang was talking to two agents of the National Security Administration in the corridor of the hospital when he saw Wang Zhonglu being stuffed into a body bag, which was carried by four guards and quickly disappeared into the elevator.

Wan Xueliang's heart chuckled, it is said that the interrogation transcript is only in the hands of Yu Leicai alone, and what Wang Zhonglu confessed, I'm afraid only General Liang knows.

Yu Leicai walked over, patted Wan Xueliang on the shoulder, looked at Wan Xueliang with some gratitude, and said, "Wan Cichang, you have worked hard for the past two days, you and your people go back to rest." ”

"Thank you Commander Yu for your care, we are not tired. Assassin matter, what to do next?" Wan Xueliang said.

"Even the invincible Elder Tian has been knocked unconscious by the assassin, and it seems that this assassin is far from human. Let's do what we can, and if we do find out about the whereabouts of the Assassins, don't act rashly, I'm afraid that no one here is an opponent of the Assassins, and I'm going to go to Zheguo and ask someone to come and investigate this matter. Wan Xueliang found the key clues in the case of Liang Qianli's murder, and Yu Leicai began to re-examine Wan Xueliang and admired his extraordinary reasoning and analytical skills, so he spoke much more politely to Wan Xueliang.

"Commander Yu, I thought carefully about all the details of the assassin, and I still think that there is something wrong with that Manguo Lesang. Just now my people reported an interesting thing: Brighter, Lesan's good friend and Manguo journalist Small, lost all his memories yesterday afternoon, and according to Small's girlfriend, Smalle went to the mall with her, but Smalle was inexplicably taken away by a stranger, and when he saw Smalle again, Smalle had lost all his memories. Commander Yu, do you think this matter has anything to do with the assassins?" Wan Xueliang said.

Yu Leicai looked at Wan Xueliang in surprise, thought for a while, and said, "Wan Cichang, I think this is an important piece of information. Find out who took Smod from him?"

"According to witnesses at the mall, a man wearing a mask took Smod away. Witnesses described the man's height and size as matching the Assassin's height. Wan Xueliang said.

"Huh?!Are you saying that the person who took Smod is an Assassin?"

"It is not yet possible to draw that conclusion. I have a speculation: this person got the whereabouts of Lesang from Smode's mouth, and then made Smodee lose his memory, and then came to the Splendid Building, ready to do something to Lesang, but he didn't expect that it was General Liang in the Splendid Tower. As for why he attacked Elder Tian in the first place, it was very puzzling. This is also the reason why I dare not jump to conclusions, because according to the analysis of the situation at the scene, the assassin's first target was Elder Tian, which contradicts my speculation. ”

Yu Leicai thought for a while and said, "There is another question in your speculation: Does Smod know Lesang's whereabouts? Because General Liang temporarily decided to see Lesang. ”

"Well, that's a question, and now that Smod is an idiot, he can't be expected to provide valuable information. Wan Xueliang said thoughtfully.

"Find all the people who came into contact with Smod and Lesang yesterday, and investigate and inquire one by one. Yu Leicai's personality is good, and after seeing Wan Xueliang's awesomeness, he began to pay attention to his opinions and speculations.

After a few guards next to him saluted and agreed, they turned around and ran to carry out their mission.

Wan Xueliang also promised to leave, he suddenly became interested in this assassin, maybe it was a very exciting thing to meet a real master, he liked this kind of difficult challenge. (To be continued......)
