Chapter 241: Prelude


When it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, in an ancient county town in the jurisdiction of Southwest City, Chen Fangqing, who was a little tired, sat on a chair with an expressionless face and slowly drank a sip of warm water.Winter nights are long, and twilight gradually covers the sky.A cold wind blew in through the open door of the main hall, and it was cold, and the old but still wide courtyard seemed very cold, and after the funeral, there was a dead silence.Chen Fangqing was sitting facing the door, his expression a little blank.Behind him was an empty ice coffin, and the room was filled with the smell of the remnants of burning paper money, and he sat motionless in his chair, looking a little eerie.Today is the day of the burial of his daughter Chen Lijuan.Chen Fangqing returned to his hometown in a low-key manner, and the funeral was not half of it, it looked extremely simple, and in terms of the parliament, Guo Wentian, who was the same as Chen Fangqing, was the banner figure of the prince group attended the funeral, in addition, there was also a secretary general and deputy mayor of Southwest City present, and then there were some relatives who were not far away.Chen Fangqing lowered his head, his eyes were a little ruthless, but more self-deprecating.As the prime minister of Middle-earth, this funeral was simple to the point of being a little shabby.This also seems to prove his position in the prince's group.If it was during the period when his influence was the strongest, even if he repeatedly stated that the funeral should be handled simply and refused to allow other officials to attend, there would definitely be no fewer people who were actually present, even if those officials knew that they would be criticized by him after coming, they would still come.The most obvious example, when Guo Wentian's old mother died the year before last, Guo Wentian was also a simple funeral, but the scene at the funeral was grand to the extreme, Guo Wentian's hometown was in an ordinary city in Tianfu Province, on the day of the funeral, the directors of Tianfu Province reached six, including the speaker and governor of Tianfu, in addition, the speaker of the neighboring southwest city was also present in person, and the leaders of the city were even more unstoppable, although Guo Wentian criticized those people fiercely afterwards, but whether it was criticizing people or being criticized, None of them were unhappy.And now, Chen Fangqing is also a simple funeral.And then it really became a simple job.This incident alone is enough to show that Chen Fangqing's current status in the Prince Group has reached a precarious point.The scandal of Haoyue Group is now being exposed every day, from Nanyue to Tianfu, and now it has become a serious case that has swept four or five provinces, involving real estate, entertainment, securities, insurance and other industries, among which countless dark sides are completely shocking, and this also represents unbelievable interests, even Chen Fangqing did not expect that his nephew would make so many outrageous moves in terms of accumulating money, Haoyue Group's stock price has been fluctuating violently, in a short period of time, Several provinces add up to hundreds of cadres, the Zhongzhou Ministry of Supervision personally took action, and the case can be described as vigorous and resolute, but Chen Fangqing is very clear that although all this looks extremely bad at the moment, the Ministry of Supervision has obviously not really made any efforts, they are collecting more evidence, before the election, the Southeast Group, which has been holding its breath for more than two years, obviously wants to make a big news, and in the face of such a favorable environment, the other party obviously does not plan to make a move easily.Several large state-owned groups controlled by Chen Lijuan have also been found to have countless problems.There are also clues that the treason case of the special operations group has some connection with Chen Fangqing, and such a connection may not be too serious, but at such a critical moment, if such news is confirmed, it is destined to be a huge turmoil.The storm is stormy and precarious.Under Chen Fangqing's ass is like an active volcano that will erupt violently at any time, and every minute and second may blow him to pieces.In this case, countless people in the prince group are quietly distancing themselves from Chen Fangqing, including even the two provincial speakers whom he personally promoted.Chen Fangqing remained silent.He could only be silent, waiting in silence for the opportunity to fight back.Such an opportunity is getting closer, and his situation is becoming more and more dangerous.In the gradually dim sky, Chen Fangqing gritted his teeth and stood up with a water glass.A cold breeze blows through the room.Guo Wentian, who had a white flower on his chest, walked into the courtyard from the gate, and looked at Chen Fangqing who walked out of the main hall, he sighed."

It's time to go back."

Guo Wentian said slowly: "The comrades in the southwest have prepared the plane, there may be a meeting tonight, so we must prepare early." ”He took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Fangqing, lit one himself, and took a deep breath.Chen Fangqing nodded silently.Today is destined to be a very special day.It's not my daughter's funeral, it's a very special day for the dark world.Three days ago, Li Tianlan received a letter of appointment from a mysterious powerhouse in the East Imperial Palace.And the time for the war is today.Two super masters who have surpassed the pinnacle of invincibility.And it's very likely to be the best super master of state maintenance in the dark world.All eyes are on this battle, including the Middle-earth Council.At this moment, there are less than four hours left before the time of the appointment.The different results of this battle mean different situations, not to mention the mentality of the parties, countless people in the dark world have begun to get nervous."

Is there any movement in Xuanyuan City?"

Chen Fangqing asked."

Nothing big."

Guo Wentian shook his head: "The representatives sent by the major forces have already entered the headquarters of the Eastern Imperial Palace, and Xuanyuan City has strengthened its vigilance, which is a very normal action. ”The day after the war letter was issued, the various forces of the dark world had already contacted the Eastern Imperial Palace separately.The Eastern Palace did not refuse the requests of the major forces, allowing any force to come to the Eastern Palace at the appointed time to watch the pinnacle battle of this dark world in person.It seems to be showing off its strength, and it seems to be extremely confident, every move in the East Palace in the past three days has been extremely confident, from top to bottom, each of them seems to have not thought about the problem that Li Tianlan might lose."

What do you think of the outcome of this battle?"

Guo Wentian asked suddenly.Chen Fangqing turned his head and glanced at him silently."

This result is important to us, and even more important to you."

Guo Wentian's tone was extremely calm.Chen Fangqing suddenly laughed."

I don't know."

He said lightly: "But this may be my only chance, it's hard to say what the result of this battle will be, Li Tianlan may win, but I won't lose either." ”Li Tianlan may win the appointment.But the winner of the decisive battle in the North Sea can only be him and the prince's group.In Chen Fangqing's communication with His Majesty and Li Fanatic in advance, as long as Li Tianlan appeared in Beihai, the probability of his fall exceeded 80%.So the outcome of tonight's battle doesn't matter.The decisive battle in the North Sea, which began at the same time as this battle, is the most important.Guo Wentian looked at his smiling face, was silent for a while, and then said hoarsely: "Recently, our work has been very passive, and the voices within the group are also a little chaotic, so I discussed it with some comrades. ”He raised his head, looked at Chen Fangqing's suddenly sharp eyes, and said flatly: "Old Chen, if the result of this Beihai decisive battle is not satisfactory...

Then you should stay behind the scenes for a while and recuperate your body. ”
