At this moment, Li Tianlan, who was sitting in the conference room and watching the directors, interpreted this term to the extreme.
The meetings of the Central Continent Council have always been solemn, solemn, and even sacred. In the past many years, even if the Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong occasionally showed his majesty, he would always be well-reasoned and even-keeled.
Li Tianlan didn't intend to be reasonable, nor did he intend to save face for anyone.
The purpose of this meeting was very simple, which was to discuss the matter of the Qi family being exterminated.
Li Tianlan directly admitted that he had killed the man, and then looked at the senior officials of Zhongzhou openly and asked them what they wanted.
Almost everyone was angry at this moment.
Li Tianlan's indifference and contempt were almost completely reflected on his face, and his careless indifference was another challenge to the bottom line of the Central Continent Council.
In all the years since the founding of Zhongzhou, it seems that no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous on such an occasion.
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes, and his deep eyes instantly became extremely cold.
"Why?"
He looked at Li Tianlan, his voice was low, and he spoke every word. The power that had always been in a high position and controlled the entire Central Continent turned into an unimaginable momentum and enveloped Li Tianlan, carrying an unimaginable heaviness.
Everyone in the entire conference room could feel the anger behind Li Huacheng's calmness. His voice was very soft, but like rumbling thunder, it kept echoing in the conference room: "Qi Mulin is the mayor of Xuanyuan City appointed by the parliament. Before this,
, he is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Security. Li Tianlan, you are also a member of Zhongzhou. A few hours ago, you were even the marshal of Zhongzhou. You personally killed nearly twenty members of Qi Mulin's family. Why did you do this?
?Why can you do this? Do you take the decisions of the Parliament seriously? Do you take the laws of Central Continent seriously? In your eyes, what do Central Continent and the Parliament mean?!"
Li Huacheng's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more passionate. Li Tianlan's domineering attitude had completely angered the president, who had been very gentle since he took office. At this moment, he even had murderous intentions.
The majestic anger became clearer and clearer in the conference room. At this moment, everyone was silent except for Li Huacheng's voice.
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and then said calmly: "Mr. President, you misunderstood me."
"What do you mean?"
Li Huacheng is aggressive. As the president of Central Continent, in addition to paying attention to the development of Central Continent, he also wants to maintain the dignity and order of Central Continent. Compared with the former, the latter can even be said to be his most important job. Li Tianlan killing Qi Mulin sounds like a
It is one thing, but the killing of the new mayor of Xuanyuan City by the former marshal of Central Continent is another matter. This is a challenge to the entire order of Central Continent, and it is the most dangerous beginning. To exaggerate, it is even the beginning of subverting the entire system.
Li Huacheng could not tolerate such a thing, no matter how optimistic he was about Li Tianlan.
Because he is the president of Central Continent.
If there are bad changes in Zhongzhou in the future because of what happened to Li Tianlan, then everything will be his responsibility.
So Li Tianlan didn't say that he was just a young man he liked, even if his biological son did such a thing, Li Huacheng had to take him down today.
"I am a member of Middle-earth."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "Even not long ago, I could barely be regarded as a member of the core of power in Central Continent. This is my country. I have respect for Central Continent and I also respect the parliament. I will abide by the order of Central Continent and also
My original intention was to uphold the council’s decision to kill Qi Mulin, which has nothing to do with the council or Zhongzhou.”
"Tell me your reasons."
Li Huacheng clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and said.
"I don't like him."
Li Tianlan spoke softly, without any hint of fireworks in his voice: "So I killed him. In fact, I am willing to respect any decision of the council. Central Continent is vast and rich in resources, and some talents can still be found. Xuanyuan City has just started, and
The system within the jurisdiction is being rebuilt and it is not difficult to manage. Zhongzhou can re-appoint a new mayor for Xuanyuan City. I 100% support Zhongzhou’s decision."
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Huacheng was stunned for a moment.
Li Tianlan killed Qi Mulin not because of the council's decision, but because he didn't like him?
You fucking kill him if you don't like him? And kill everyone?!
Where are you coaxing ghosts?
The corners of Li Huacheng's mouth twitched with anger for a long time, and he was even speechless for a while.
Li Tianlan has requested the council to re-discuss the candidate for the new mayor of Xuanyuan City for the second time.
His voice is very sincere.
But this time no one spoke at all.
Choose a new mayor?
Are you kidding me?
Even an idiot wouldn't believe Li Tianlan's words that Qi Mulin doesn't like him, and even if he does, he still needs a reason to dislike someone. The reason why Qi Mulin doesn't like him in Li Tianlan's eyes is because he is the mayor of Xuanyuan City.
.
What kind of person is Qi Mulin?
This is the most dazzling newcomer in Central Continent in recent years, the adopted son of former director Qi Beicang, and the future leader of the Special Warfare Group.
Such a person can be killed just because he doesn't like it. Are they sending other people to Xuanyuan City to take up their posts? Are they really going to take up their posts? That's just asking for death. Maybe Li Tianlan will kill him again the next day because he doesn't like the new mayor.
.
Li Tianlan can do this kind of thing.
He can really do it.
Qi Mulin's lesson is profound enough.
Even if the council members who are working at this time are really determined to send a mayor who does not suit Li Tianlan's wishes to Tiannan, it is estimated that no one would dare to accept this position.
Establish prestige.
This is establishing prestige.
The bloody lessons learned by the Qi family are enough to make everyone shy away from this position.
"You don't like him..."
The corners of Li Huacheng's mouth trembled, and his voice was a little distorted: "You can kill someone if you don't like him? Who gave you the power?!"
"I'm just safeguarding the interests of Central Continent."
Li Tianlan rambled casually: "I received news that Qi Mulin may be related to the Burning Legion's invasion of Tiannan, and Qi Mulin may even have committed treason. I took action at this time entirely to avoid greater losses in the future for Central Continent."
"You are talking nonsense!!!"
Li Huacheng slammed the table and became furious.
Chen Fangqing, who was sitting next to him, shook his arms slightly and looked at Li Tianlan with complicated eyes.
"I'm just telling the truth."
Li Tianlan opened his eyes without blinking.
Anyway, Qi Mulin is dead, whatever he says will be whatever he says.
The steps, he has already given.
However, Li Huacheng obviously did not intend to go down the steps, and just said coldly: "Qi Mulin is treason? Where did you get the news? Have you investigated? Why did you investigate Qi Mulin? No investigation? No investigation. Where did you get the statement?
Quan? Even if this matter is true, why don’t you report the situation to the parliament in time?”
"Time is too tight, I don't have time."
Li Tianlan still opened his eyes.
"It's really ridiculous. With Qi Mulin's status in Central Continent, what benefit can he get from colluding with the Burning Legion? His Highness Li Tianlan, murder for life, some random reasons are meaningless."
In a gentle voice, Deputy Cabinet Minister Hua Zhengyang spoke slowly, his voice extremely cold.
But everyone present at the meeting was shocked.
Because of Hua Zhengyang’s choice of words.
Kill for life!
On such an occasion, every word Hua Zhengyang said could not be said casually. As Li Huacheng's right-hand man, these four words represented the attitude of the entire academic school.
This incident has touched the bottom line of the academy. Are they directly trying to kill Li Tianlan?!
"Let's not talk about whether there are any benefits. Since His Highness Li Tianlan said that Qi Mulin was treasonous, there must be some truth to it. I think we can check it out first."
Vice President Wan Qingyun said calmly.
"Even if Qi Mulin is guilty, Li Tianlan does not have the right to kill him directly."
Chen Fangqing said calmly.
"But the crime does not lead to death. Qi Mulin committed treason and Li Tianlan killed him.
In order to protect the interests of Central Continent, it is understandable that young people are more impulsive."
Wan Qingyun is tit for tat.
When things have reached this point, Xuanyuan City can be put aside for the time being.
The academic group and the Prince Group must strictly deal with Li Tianlan and maintain the authority of Zhongzhou, especially the authority of private territories like Tiannan, while the Southeast Group must maintain their own sense of territoriality and strive to protect Li Tianlan.
The focus is not on Xuanyuan City at all, but on Li Tianlan.
As long as Li Tianlan is kept, the Southeast Group has withstood Zhongzhou's first wave of temptations.
So now, no matter what nonsense Li Tianlan talks about, the Southeast Group will believe it. Even if he doesn't say anything, the Southeast Group will find a reason for him to protect him.
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Fangqing again.
They were already mentally prepared for the Southeast Group's reaction, but the Southeast Group's response was so decisive and firm, which still made the two of them a little angry.
Wan Qingyun's attitude speaks volumes.
This shows that in the next game, the Beihai Wang family has no intention of compromise. When they just took action, the Beihai Wang family had already accepted the move.
"Comrade Yunhai, you are the Minister of Political Science and Law of Zhongzhou. What do you think of this matter?"
Li Huacheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and nodded the name of the leader of the Northern Group.
This is the only group that is outside the extremely large group, and he is in charge of Zhongzhou's political and legal affairs. It is natural for him to express his attitude at this time. Li Huacheng's naming is not unexpected.
Zhou Yunhai's attitude is crucial.
Keeping Li Tianlan safe is the bottom line for the wealthy group and the Southeast Group.
To deal with Li Tianlan strictly is the goal of academic circles and wealthy groups.
This is almost a replica of the previous meeting. At least in terms of the balance of power, there is no change. And with the two sides clearly distinguishing themselves, Wang Qinglei will not remain silent this time. After all, he is a member of the Wang family in Beihai.
No matter how big the rift is, Wang Qinglei still has the territorial awareness that he should have.
In this way, Zhou Yunhai's attitude became the key among the keys.
Li Huacheng and Chen Fangqing are still confused by the sudden "defection" of the Northern Group. At this time, Li Huacheng named Zhou Yunhai, undoubtedly wanting to really see Zhou Yunhai's attitude.
Zhou Yunhai was stunned, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I think you can slow down for a while. If Qi Mulin is really treason, Li Tianlan's action is justifiable. In this matter, investigate
We still need to investigate. However, the impact of this incident is very bad. Even if Qi Mulin is really traitorous, Li Tianlan does not have the power to kill people. I think it is not suitable for His Highness to go to Tiannan for the time being. How about taking a rest first?"
There was silence in the conference room, and countless eyes exchanged quickly for a moment.
This time Zhou Yunhai did not defect.
But he didn't take sides either.
On such a sensitive issue, the Northern Group chose neutrality without hesitation.
If you don't support the strict handling of Li Tianlan, you won't offend the wealthy group and the Southeast Group.
Allowing Li Tianlan to 'rest' for a while will undoubtedly support the academic faction and the Prince Group, although this is far from the support they need.
Li Tianlan sat there expressionless, waiting for the outcome of the parliament's trial against him.
The meeting showed no sign of ending as time passed.
The time passed from morning to noon.
It's approaching evening again.
The heated debate lasted almost twelve hours.
As night fell, with countless people in Central Continent watching, the Parliament finally responded to this incident.
Qi Mulin was suspected of treason, and the parliament ordered the Ministry of Security, the General Staff, the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs, and the Ministry of Supervision to set up a joint task force to launch a detailed investigation.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs of Zhongzhou officially issued a document appointing Ning Qiancheng as the mayor of Xuanyuan City.
The treatment of Li Tianlan is suspended. From now on, the owner of the East Palace, Li Tianlan, will be temporarily sent to the desert prison for an undetermined period. It will be dealt with separately after the investigation results of the task force emerge.
