Xiping County.
It was not even seven o'clock in the evening, only five o'clock in the afternoon, and hundreds of officials were already gathered in the Xiping County Government Office.
"Princess Wang."
"Long time no see, Princess Xu."
"Excuse me, do you have any channels? What exactly happened?"
"The lower official is also confused, and he suddenly issued an emergency edict. I feel uneasy inside."
"When I went to bed last night, my eyelids were twitching. I always felt that something big was going to happen."
"Oh, this is so stressful."
"Why haven't you seen Princess Qin from Xiping County for so long?"
"That's right. All the officials from Xiping County Government are also gone. Only a few small guests are left behind, and they don't know anything about them."
"Do you think Princess Qin is..."
"Shh, don't say this nonsense.":
"Until the specific reasons and circumstances come to light, you and I should not make random guesses, lest you get burned."
“…”
Subsequently, officials of all levels came quickly on steam trains or on horseback.
Everyone is tired. Everyone present had a look of panic on their faces.
At half past five, as a motorcade roared in, other officials in Xiping County stood up nervously:
"Governor Wangzhou is here."
"The governor is here."
"Shh, don't discuss it anymore. The governor is here."
"As soon as Governor Wangzhou arrives, he will know what happened."
"It turns out that Governor Wangzhou has just arrived. I thought Governor Wangzhou was also in Xiping County."
"It seems that things are not simple."
“…”
Governor Wangzhou walked into the Xiping County government office step by step, followed by a cloud of followers, all of whom were state officials.
"Hello, Governor."
"Governor Wangzhou."
"Governor Wangzhou."
Along the way, the officials who had arrived at Xiping County kept saying hello to Wang Huan. Wang Huan agreed absentmindedly, walked into the Xiping County government office, sat in the seat of the meeting hall and was silent for a while, and then called an official who was nearby and arrived early to come over.
"You came early. Let me ask you, what happened in Xiping County?"
The official was silent for a while after hearing this, and his mind suddenly changed. He analyzed on the spot that it seemed that Governor Wangzhou was also unaware of the situation. Then this matter is complicated, not that simple. Something big might happen today.
"I don't know, my subordinate."
"What time did you come?"
"He'll be here at half past one."
"You came so early and you didn't know anything about it?"
"I have no idea at all."
Wang Huan frowned and asked unwillingly: "Didn't you hear anything?"
"No."
"Didn't you ask the people in Xiping?"
The official said with a grimace: "I don't know anything after asking, and the people in Xiping County don't know either. I asked some people specifically, and they were all farming and everything was fine. They didn't know anything. The people in the government of Xiping County didn't know anything." I don’t know what happened. When I came, even some people in the Xiping County government were surprised that I was here.”
"Huh… "
Wang Huan pondered for a long time, feeling a little hanging in his heart. What is this scenario? It was peaceful? neither knows
But many years of experience in officialdom told Wang Huan that the calmer things appear on the outside, the more murderous they are secretly.
Especially in the officialdom, it seems to be peaceful, and something big must have happened secretly. If it means solemnity, it actually means that the thunder is louder than the raindrops.
Wang Huan thought for a while and then asked: "Have you ever seen Prime Minister Xun?"
"I didn't see it, but I saw Prime Minister Xun's motorcade."
Wang Huan was startled and said quickly: "When I entered the government office, I didn't see the motorcade. Where is Prime Minister Xun's motorcade? So Prime Minister Xun has arrived a long time ago?"
"Yes, I should have arrived a long time ago. Because when I came, Prime Minister Xun's motorcade stopped at the entrance of the Xiping County Government Guest House. It did not stop at the government office."
Wang Huan narrowed his eyes: "Then have you seen Dean Li?"
"I did not see it."
"Dean Li lives in the Fuya Guest House. So, Prime Minister Xun has always stayed with Dean Li and never left the guest house?"
"Eighty percent yes."
'hiss-'
Wang Huan took a breath of air-conditioning, and his face became increasingly bitter. He felt that things were not simple.
He finally realized that the matter in Xiping County was definitely not as simple as Qin Fei offending Li Zhen this time. If it was Qin Fei who really offended or angered Li Zhen, then even if Li Zhen was obsessed with revenge, there would be no need for such a big scene. Even if Li Zhen didn't go through Xun Shifei, he could still take care of Qin Fei, and no one dared to say anything.
And if you summon all the officials, wouldn't it mean taking off your pants and farting
But before the Xiping County Incident, Qin Fei clearly sent himself a telegram asking him to save him.
This matter... is up in the air.
The fog is heavy.
What is the situation
Under strict orders, none of the officials carried any.
Everyone who was supposed to be there was already there at around 6:30. No one dares to be late. Moreover, there was no one who didn’t come.
Don't dare not come, let alone be late.
As for the officials who came after six o'clock, everyone was unsteady when they walked in, and their legs were shaking. That was riding too long and too hastily.
Xiping is still a bit poor. Not every county-level official has a car, and many do not.
Unlike Dongzhou, every village chief in any county has a car.
six thirty. All the officials gathered in the conference hall of Xiping County. Everyone stood silently.
There was no one to even discuss it.
As the time got closer to the agreed seven o'clock, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable in this depressing atmosphere, which was so oppressive.
There were quite a few officials who had their own problems and had shit under their butts, and they took their seats suspiciously. At this time, he was so scared that he stood in the corner and trembled all over.
Six forty.
The reception room in Xichang County.
Xun Shifei stood up with a smile: "Well, I haven't had a drink with Dean Li for a long time. I have almost forgotten this feeling of freedom and freedom. I can only drink with you, changing cups and cups. , I can learn a lot. I have benefited a lot.”
Dean Li looked at his watch: "It's getting late. There will be plenty of time in the future."
Xun Shifei nodded, took the coat from the secretary who had been standing behind him and put it on. Although it is very hot in summer, Xun Shifei always attends in formal attire: "Then I will leave first. Go and deal with this matter."
Li Zhen looked calm and said with a calm smile: "It is a great blessing for the people of Xizhou to have Prime Minister Xun."
Xun Shifei bowed to Li Zhen: "It is a great blessing for the people of New Kyushu to have Dean Li in New Kyushu."
"Serious words."
"Farewell."
Xun Shifei exited Li Zhen's residence and turned to look in the direction of the Xiping County Government Office. His face was gloomy to the extreme, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He hasn't had any murderous intentions for a long time.
Since the founding of the Jiuzhou Party, he successfully escaped Du Taiping's dragnet and rushed into Quancheng County. He never had murderous intentions again, but today, Xun Shifei was furious.
Take a deep breath. Under the setting sun, Xun Shifei strode towards the Xiping County Government Office.
There was a cloud of entourage behind him, everyone lowered their heads and followed closely, not daring to make any sound. I just secretly prayed for the officials of Xiping County...
