In the spacious room, it was so quiet that everyone seemed to be able to hear their own rapid heartbeat and suppressed and slowing breathing.
Xu Zhengyang was not in a hurry. He took out his cigarette, lit one, and slowly puffed out the smoke.
It wasn't that he was deliberately showing off, but that he was giving these people enough time to calm down before they could proceed with the next conversation smoothly.
As for everyone in the room, for a moment, they really didn’t know what to say on their own initiative. Because they knew very well that in the current situation, no matter for whatever reason, they were in a
In a passive situation, if this young man could walk in so calmly, everything must have been arranged.
Perhaps Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait any longer, so the first voice that sounded in the quiet room was Xu Zhengyang's voice.
He turned slightly sideways, turned his head and looked at Wan Yun, who was sitting three people away from him, and said with a smile: "Wan Lao, don't you want to explain a few words?"
"Huh, what's the explanation?" Wan Yun snorted coldly, without any fear, and reprimanded seriously: "You should be the one who needs to explain now? It's a lot of words."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head and said: "Being a human being and doing things must be reasonable...Everything has a cause and effect, and there must be a first-come, first-served principle, right? There are many words. I sat here today, and we discussed things face to face.
Speak openly to save some people from saying privately that I bullied you..."
"What's there to say?" Wan Yun glared at Xu Zhengyang angrily.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Xu Zhengyang took a puff of cigarette, looking a little confused and a little angry, and said: "Give me a reason, should I dig up your ancestral grave? Or secretly curse you to annihilate your descendants? According to
As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be any deep hatred between us... Come on, tell me, why did you kill me? It’s reasonable, and I can forgive you..."
This question is indeed a bit too petty for everyone here. Isn’t it nonsense?
But it is impossible for any one of them to answer this question.
Because if this matter is directed at an individual, there would be no reason, let alone any hatred. In fact, in high-level struggles, innocent people become victims or take the blame, or because they are guilty, they simply blame all the blame on themselves.
It's really quite normal.
But can such words be put on the table?
This is like grabbing a random stranger and saying to them: "Hello, we have a conflict that needs to be resolved, so you have to die." How unreasonable and shameless.
?
Now that people are asking for help, and they clearly have an absolute advantage, how do you answer?
So Wan Yun didn't say anything, but stared at Xu Zhengyang with a gloomy and cold face. Then under Xu Zhengyang's narrowed eyes with a mocking, contemptuous and a bit hateful smile, Wan Yun snorted and turned his head.
"Can't answer?" Xu Zhengyang smiled, then shifted his gaze, scanned the crowd, and said, "Can you guys give me a reasonable answer?"
Of course no one can speak.
Xu Zhengyang took a deep breath from the cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke. His expression behind the smoke was somewhat vague.
"Yeah, it's really hard to answer this question." Xu Zhengyang sighed and said, "Who said that people like us, in your eyes, are just ordinary people, or ants? Haha..."
"Talk about something practical." The man sitting in the middle said calmly.
Xu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Isn't this practical enough?".
"What do you want?" Wan Yun turned to stare at Xu Zhengyang and asked...
"It's very simple..." Xu Zhengyang raised his finger, his expression became serious, and said: "For the series of events caused by the major smuggling case in the Far East, all those responsible will be held accountable. The illegal things you, Wan Yun, have done must be strictly followed.
The law will hold you accountable. And it must be made public!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Public?
"What about you?" Wan Yun sneered.
By now, Wan Yun no longer has a superior mentality. Even if Xu Zhengyang does not appear today, the development of this incident has caused him to lose face. It is the worst result. For him
He said that the impact on his face and being sentenced or even died were basically the same.
"Me? Am I guilty?" Xu Zhengyang asked in surprise.
"Murder is a fact." Another person sitting in the middle said seriously.
Xu Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "That is self-defense. We need to understand this clearly. Besides...don't you all think that because of your privileges, you are not bound by laws and morals? Okay, then I will do the same today."
I am happy to be a privileged person. Even if I am guilty, none of you can do anything to me!"
"Why? Your father-in-law? The power of the Li family?" Wan Yun said sarcastically.
Li Ruiyu and Li Ruiqing looked at Wan Yun angrily at the same time.
The man sitting in the middle said angrily: "That's enough! What are you talking about? Are you arguing?".
The room temporarily calmed down, and Xu Zhengyang looked at the most important speaker with a profound smile.
"What is your purpose in doing this?"
The man with a majestic temperament looked at Xu Zhengyang with deep eyes.
Xu Zhengyang coughed lightly and put the cigarette butt into the porcelain cup filled with tea, making a sizzling sound. Then he sat up straight, glanced at everyone present, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing his seriousness and dignity.
With a domineering expression, he raised his right arm, waved it from left to right, and spoke at the same time. His voice was as rough and frightening as the friction of gold and stone:
"I am here today to tell you clearly, and even allow you to tell everyone in the world, and even the whole world, that from now on, there will be gods in this world where humans live..."
"In the eyes of gods, everyone is equal!"
Xu Zhengyang raised his right hand in front of him, raising his index finger and moving it slightly, "You should not decide what is right or wrong based on your position of power. You must know what each person's status, position, and power are really used for."
!”
…
The room suddenly fell into a quieter atmosphere than the previous period, with a slightly weird feeling.
Except for Li Ruiyu and Li Ruiqing, everyone else was dumbfounded. In addition to confusion and surprise, there was also a little ridicule? contempt?... In short, it was very complicated.
"Xu Zhengyang, do you know what you are talking about?" Finally, one of the people sitting in the middle said calmly.
Xu Zhengyang stared at the other party with cold eyes. At this time, his back was soaked with cold sweat. In fact, he could also feel the same huge pressure because Shirojuan kept reminding him that there was something wrong with doing this, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Saying such words and deeds directly is against the rules of heaven.
"Don't think it's ridiculous..." Xu Zhengyang's expression didn't change at all, he was still cold and majestic, full of momentum. Before everyone could fully recover, Xu Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "Talk to them carefully
talk……"
After saying this, an old man with white beard and hair, piercing eyes, and a kind but majestic expression suddenly appeared at the door.
It is none other than Li Haidong, the acting judge of Chenghuang Mansion!
Everyone was stunned again! Stupefied!
Xu Zhengyang stood up, glanced at everyone with a sullen face, and said calmly: "I did not do anything directly, but spared no effort and time. Being able to do this is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous, and it is also telling you about the existence of gods.
Nor will I use force or act arbitrarily... If I want to kill anyone, it will be easy."...
Probably in order to make everyone present believe what he said, Xu Zhengyang looked at Wan Yun and said coldly: "For example, if I ask you to kneel down, how dare you not kneel down?"
"Kneel down!"
A sharp shout!
Under the gaze of everyone, Wan Yun couldn't help himself. He stood up with a dull expression, walked to Xu Zhengyang, bent his knees, and knelt down on the ground with his head lowered!
Xu Zhengyang ignored him, turned around and walked out, leaving behind a sentence that echoed in the spacious room:
"I will not interfere in political affairs. There are rules in the world, but everyone has his own duties, and he still needs to fulfill his duties..."
…
There was another heart-stopping silence.
It wasn't until they were reminded by Mr. Li's heavy sigh that everyone came back to their senses, and then their hearts immediately rose to their throats.
How can it be?
An old man who has died long ago will appear here mysteriously out of thin air!
Whether it was because of the old man's prestige during his lifetime or because he now appeared here as a bizarre ghost, everyone in the room was extremely nervous and afraid.
Even if he holds a high position, even if he has experienced countless storms and waves, his mind has already been trained to be as hard and cold as steel.
I still can't bear the fact that something beyond reality is really happening in front of my eyes.
We have no way of knowing what Mr. Li talked about with these senior officials that night. But what is certain is that everything Mr. Li said was prepared in advance and approved by Xu Zhengyang. In other words
By the way, it's possible that what he said was what Xu Zhengyang asked him to say.
This matter is destined to be completely buried in the records of history and will never be known to the public.
But for those who knew about the incident, including Li Ruiyu and Li Ruiqing, they all had to be grateful to Xu Zhengyang, and even felt lucky...
Just as Xu Zhengyang said: What I have done is considered as the utmost benevolence and righteousness.
At least, I have left you all plenty of leeway, and I did not go under the wrath of God and send down thunderous punishments, thus making it difficult for you to understand and explain to the public.
Because the personal and material evidence is solid, it is up to you to handle it.
As gods, we have abided by the rules of the human world. What will happen to you in the future?
A month later, the major smuggling case in the Far East that attracted attention from all over the world reached a new climax. Former senior official Wan Yun was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of bribery and cover-up, murder, frame-up, etc., awaiting trial.
The whole country was shocked!
Most people can hardly accept from the bottom of their hearts that a senior official who has always been famous in the eyes of the world is saddled with so many crimes when he is bound to retire next time. People can't help but secretly speculate whether there is something ulterior in this.
conspiracy.
However, after the initial doubts and disputes, people's thinking turned to the other side: Look, such high-ranking officials will be investigated and sentenced, not to mention what will happen to other officials who violate laws and disciplines...
The government's image, after being burdened with a layer of shadow, was quickly put on a coat of light, covering up many flaws.
A good thing is a good thing after all.
The positive impact it brings is far more than the negative impact!
How do you say that?
Well, the eyes of the masses are sharp!
Although ordinary people do not have extraordinary wisdom, they are not fools!

ps: I hope you won’t say anything like that in the book review area.
We have said it before, it is not related to reality! Hum hum, besides, from the very beginning, my book has set many places that are not in line with the society we live in!
Stop talking!
