Chapter 313 230. What is the way to slap in the face! (7000 words)
ten minutes later.
On the speeding car, Fang Ze sat in the back seat, casually looking at the light snow gradually falling outside the window, and then whispered to Hei Yu, "How is it over there on Heweidao?"
As the housekeeper of the family, Heiyu can be said to be both in charge of the inside and the outside. So after hearing Fang Ze's question, she thought for a moment and replied, "Back to you, young master. Since the meeting yesterday, He Weidao has confirmed
After the list of the new parliament, he has become much more high-profile, contrary to his style of more than ten years ago."
"Not only did he move from the small farmhouse on the outskirts of the state capital back to the luxurious manor in the state capital, but he also attended various high-profile activities and inspected some important departments."
"And at the gate of his manor, there have been no shortage of people in the past two days. Even late at night, even if he is not at home, there is still a long line of motorcade waiting. It is said that they are all senior officials of the civilian faction of Cedar State, preparing
Gifts come to my door to say thanks and congratulations.”
"But most of these people can't see He Weidao in person. They can only see his housekeeper or students. However, all the gifts are accepted as ordered."
After listening to Heiyu's story, Fang Ze's face showed no expression. Then he looked at the snow falling more and more outside the window and commented slowly, "It seems that once success is achieved, the mentality of an old fox like He Weidao will be changed."
Changes have also taken place.”
Fang Ze said this for no reason. Although the Si family's intelligence network has not yet been fully deployed, some basic information can still be obtained: Ever since Bai Zhi's mother and brother disappeared unexpectedly, Mr. Bai caused a great disturbance in the Eastern Jurisdiction Region.
, what is Tao has always been explained in depth and simplicity.
The external rhetoric is that he is responsible for this incident. But in fact, according to the information now in Fang Ze's hands: he probably did this in order to appease Mr. Bai's heart and coax him into using him as his trump card.
It has been more than ten years since He Weidao came out. In these ten years, he has not set foot in the state capital, nor has he participated in any meetings as the speaker. He has been working as an old farmer on the outskirts of the state capital.
Of course, Fang Ze felt that it was a face-saving project: although He Weidao had never participated in the parliament, every decision of the parliament still required his nod and approval before it could be implemented. Although he had never entered the state capital, he was involved in various departments of the state capital.
All are within his sphere of influence.
He did not enter the state capital and concentrated on farming, which was more like a fig leaf to cover up his long-planned plans.
But now, because the plan has been completed, he no longer needs to use that fig leaf and directly "comes to the West".
How could such a change not mean that he was drifting?
Thinking like this, Fang Ze gained a little more confidence in tonight's plan: He is not afraid of his opponent being smart, but he is afraid that his opponent is not smart.
As long as the opponent is drifting, it is easy to make mistakes. In this way, Fang Ze's plan can be implemented more easily.
Of course, although Fang Ze gained a lot of confidence, he did not rule out the possibility that this was a staged act deliberately done by He Weidao.
Therefore, on the next road, Fang Ze learned more about He Weidao's itinerary and practices over the past two days in detail. It was not until Heiyu finished speaking that the motorcade slowly drove to the vicinity of He Weidao Manor.
Because it is winter now, even though it is still early, the sky has already darkened. There is still one kilometer away from Heweidao Manor, and the convoy begins to stop moving: the whole street is crowded with luxury people.
Car, looking forward along the street, at a glance, the taillights of hundreds of cars were all lit up in the darkness, like the scarlet eyes of wild beasts.
I don't know if I am worried about arousing He Weidao's resentment. Even though hundreds of luxury cars are crowded on this street, even though hundreds of taillights are on, not a single car is honking. This is even more...
It makes this dark night even more depressing.
Seeing that the car couldn't move anymore, Fang Ze looked at the situation outside, and finally said to Heiyu, "Let's go. Walk there." Then he got out of the car in the snow.
When Heiyu saw this, he quickly picked up a black umbrella and ran out of the car to support Fang Ze.
At this time, there were obviously many people outside who had the same idea as Fang Ze. When he got out of the car, people in the cars in front and behind also got off. Fang Ze looked over and after a brief look, he found that it was a member of parliament or someone he had seen before.
Executives with real power in some important departments.
When Fang Ze saw them, they also saw Fang Ze. Even though the night was dark, Fang Ze saw first a hint of surprise in their eyes, then a hint of deep thought, and finally turned into gloating.
People who can reach this position are all veterans, so although it is a bit popular for Fang Ze, a great nobleman, to come to "please" He Weidao after his failure, they still control their emotions very well and move towards Fang Ze.
He nodded gently.
If it weren't for Fang Ze's empty eyes that ignored the darkness and distance, he would probably have been deceived by them.
In this way, we arrived at the gate of He Weidao's manor. At this time, there was already a line of people outside the manor, and a man who looked like a butler was at the door asking for the names and positions of the people who came to see him.
Fang Ze glanced at the waiting team and winked at Hei Yu. Hei Yu clearly handed the black umbrella to the guards aside, asking them to continue holding the umbrella for Fang Ze, and then he walked forward quickly.
I went to have a few conversations with the housekeeper and showed him He Weidao's reply.
After reading the reply, the butler looked up at Fang Ze, and then nodded. After that, he took the initiative to walk to Fang Ze with Heiyu, and gave a slight salute to Fang Ze, "Fang Ze's family leader and chairman have already
I've told you, if you come, just go in. I'll take you in now."
The butler was obviously a master, and his voice was obviously not loud, but it was extremely clear in this dark snowy night.
Therefore, after hearing his words, all the people visiting him couldn't help but turn their attention to Fang Ze.
As a prominent figure in the state capital who has recently become famous, Fang Ze's name, strength and background are all things that everyone must know and memorize.
So, of course, everyone knows that the aristocratic faction represented by Fang Ze is now almost extinct among the older generation, and the new generation is in decline. It suffered a complete defeat in the parliament two days ago, completely withdrawing from the core of power in West Dar State, and only receiving empty benefits.
, it’s just a big awakening family with a title.
So when they saw that Fang Ze also came to pay homage to He Weidao, everyone present was secretly exchanging glances.
Fang Ze ignored this humiliating reporting method and everyone's gloating eyes. He even "enjoyed it": The more arrogant the people around He Weidao behaved, the more it represented He Weidao's current mentality.
Something may have gone wrong.
In this way, Fang Ze went to the manor despite the attention of everyone watching the excitement.
Arriving inside the manor, Fang Ze followed the housekeeper to the side hall. Although He Weidao allowed Fang Ze to go in directly after arriving, it did not mean that he could see him at any time. So Fang Ze sat on the chair in the side hall.
, waiting patiently for He Weidao to summon him after finishing the matters at hand.
After the butler finished serving tea and left, Heiyu looked at the back of the butler and said to Fang Ze angrily, "Young Master, that person is obvious."
Fang Ze raised his right index finger to his lips, then shook his head slightly to signal her to be silent.
Only then did Black Feather remember that she was now in He Weidao's territory, and it was really inconvenient to say some things, so she could only grit her teeth bitterly and stop talking.
Although He Weidao was a little confused now, he still abided by the basic etiquette. Fang Ze only waited in the side hall for five minutes before another butler came over to inform Fang Ze that he could go over and meet He Weidao.
Fang Ze signaled Kuroyu to wait in the side hall, and then followed the housekeeper through the luxurious corridor to He Weidao's study.
Arriving at the door of the study, the housekeeper first knocked lightly, and then after getting He Weidao's approval, he opened the door and said respectfully to He Weidao in the room, "Sir Speaker, the head of the Fang Ze family is here.
"
He Weidao's deep "hmm" sound sounded in the room. The housekeeper stepped aside and gestured towards Fang Ze. Then Fang Ze stepped into He Weidao's study.
Entering the study, Fang Ze saw He Weidao standing behind the desk, holding a huge writing brush and writing. Next to him stood a person whom Fang Ze was very familiar with: Jiang Cheng. He was standing
Next to He Wei Dao, with his head lowered, He Wei Dao is studying ink carefully.
Although this man was only a municipal councilor before, he was still as proud as heaven. Now he is a state executive member, but he is as humble as dust.
At a certain moment, Fang Ze even felt that he was not a person, but just a "trophy", a trophy that He Weidao showed off to everyone: Look, so what if the head of one of the three noble families in West Dazhou is not also my servant.
?
Fang Ze's entry did not make He Weidao stop writing. He raised his pen boldly and wrote the last word "water" in "Heart is like still water". Then he put down the brush in his hand with a smile on his face and looked at Fang Ze.
, said two words lightly, "Here we come."
Fang Ze nodded, then bowed slightly towards He Weidao, "Speaker."
He Weidao nodded, then he gestured to Jiang Cheng and said, "You go down and rest first. I'll have a chat with the head of the Fang Ze family."
"Yes." Jiang Cheng bowed respectfully, then put down the priceless ink in his hand and walked out.
Because Fang Ze was standing at the door, Jiang Cheng went out, and the two happened to be face to face. Looking at Jiang Cheng's appearance, Fang Ze found that he seemed a little unrecognizable to Jiang Cheng.
Perhaps because of the huge change, Jiang Cheng's temperament no longer frivolous, but became extremely calm. His face was expressionless, and his pupils were so dark that they seemed to absorb all the light. But facing Fang Ze, his former life-and-death enemy, his
His expression didn't even change at all.
After watching him leave and closing the door, Fang Ze heard He Weidao's voice in his ears, "Sit down."
When Fang Ze came back to his senses, He Weidao had already come to the sofa and sat down. He pointed at the sofa opposite him and motioned for Fang Ze to sit down too.
Fang Ze nodded, walked over, sat down, and said straight to the point, "The entire eastern jurisdiction is in chaos right now, but the Speaker seems to be very relaxed."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, He Weidao smiled, and then said in a slow and low voice, "As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Policies must be consistent to give the people a sense of security and trust. Governing a country
The most taboo thing is to blindly change policies without making preparations when encountering problems. This will only waste people and money and cause disaster."
Hearing what He Weidao said, Fang Ze nodded first and then shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with what the Speaker said, but it is only suitable in peaceful times. Now Cedar State is facing war, and the entire northwest border is suffering from Tuoye State.
threaten."
"As for the neighboring Yunlan Prefecture, half of it has fallen and needs support."
"At this time, do we need to mobilize and respond quickly?"
He Weidao heard the words and smiled, "Yunlan Prefecture has the Yunlan Prefecture's parliament to handle it. There is also Tang Prefecture to provide support. We, Xida Prefecture, don't need to worry about it for the time being."
"As for the rebel Tuoye State, aren't the two supreme demigods in their state already dead and one seriously injured? There is no spare power to attack Xida State in a short time."
"So, we don't need to worry too much. We should remain unchanged in the face of changes."
Hearing He Weidao's words, Fang Ze frowned slightly and asked, "Now the opponent is not stable and has just suffered a major defeat. Why not expel the enemy in one go?"
He Weidao smiled faintly and retorted, "The other party has been planning for more than ten years and has been planning to come. It's not that their footing is unstable."
"As for suffering a big defeat, that's true. But our state is not without damage."
"Xida Prefecture has lost two demigods from Zhenzhou. The Jiang family, one of the three major nobles, was almost wiped out. The Bai family has dispersed and lived in seclusion, regardless of government affairs. The strength of the state has been reduced by more than half."
"Actually, we are even more empty than Tuoye Prefecture."
"So at this time, we cannot rush forward in a hurry. Instead, we must sort out our own internal affairs first so that we can better deal with external threats."
"In order to fight against external factors, we must first settle internal issues, and that's all."
Listening to He Weidao's words, Fang Ze looked at him seriously and just looked at him.
Just when He Weidao was a little confused by him, Fang Zecai suddenly said, "Speaker, in order to fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the inside. Do you just want to pacify the inside, or do you not want to fight against the outside world?"
Maybe he didn't expect that Fang Ze would dare to say such a thing. The smile on He Weidao's face gradually faded. He looked at Fang Ze and said slowly, "Congressman Fang Ze, you are questioning my loyalty to the Federation.
?”
He Weidao himself is a top master, and he has been in a high position in Xidazhou for more than ten years. With a straight face, he suddenly lost his anger and self-restraint, and his momentum swept towards Fang Ze like a real substance.
To be honest, this is the first time that Fang Ze has felt such a powerful aura since he got the [King] talent. However, He Weidao has not become a demigod after all, and his status is lower than Fang Ze, so after the [King] talent
Fang Ze was not affected at all.
So he was in the whirlpool of momentum, looking at He Weidao fearlessly, and then said tit for tat, "Indeed. After knowing some things, I am very doubtful about your loyalty to the Speaker."
He Weidao was not frightened by Fang Ze's words. He looked at Fang Ze and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
Seeing this, Fang Ze looked into He Weidao's eyes and said slowly, "Speaker, do you know Senator Yu Wenying?"
Maybe He Weidao has been too high-spirited these days and lacked the most basic vigilance; or maybe he never thought that he would hear this name again in his life, so at that moment, He Weidao's heart trembled.
, the pupils shrank slightly.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood, and after pretending to think deeply for a few seconds, he slowly said, "Yu Wenzheng? He seems to have an impression. He was a congressman from Cedar State more than ten years ago, right?"
Fang Ze nodded, and then continued to ask, "Then do you know Executive Councilor Xue Sheng?"
If the first name was a coincidence, then the appearance of the second name gave He Weidao an ominous premonition.
His heart was turbulent, but his face remained calm, "I know him. He was also an executive member of Cedar State more than ten years ago.
When asking questions, Fang Ze had been staring closely at He Weidao, so he also keenly captured the changes in He Weidao's emotions: because even He Weidao hadn't noticed, his momentum was so strong when Fang Ze asked
After the two names came out, they both started to feel a little uncertain.
After knowing that the high probability of Dahei Jialuo's analysis was true, Fang Ze was determined and continued, "Then you should also know Sun Lou, Cheng Hongde, Di Xiang, Ji Wu, and Shao Zhou."
Fang Ze reported the names of the people involved one after another who had been silenced because of the Plantagenet Incident.
As the names were announced one after another, He Weidao's heart kept sinking. Because he knew that things were in trouble. The most shameful and most shameful experience in his life was unfolding.
It was dug out little by little by the people in front of me and exposed to the world.
Once this incident is exposed, it will not only destroy his lifelong reputation, but also destroy the path to the great cause he is about to complete.
To be honest, at that moment, He Weidao even had a murderous intention for Fang Ze in his heart. Fortunately, his reason controlled him and prevented him from showing it.
He tried his best to calm down, but maybe the achievements of four demigods in the past two days and the achievements of the three noble families had already made him feel impetuous, or maybe this past event that had been hidden for more than ten years was too disturbing.
His heart, at that moment, he tried every means, but could not calm down.
Therefore, when Fang Ze read the names of those people at first, He Weidao still answered whether he knew them or not, but gradually he just listened quietly and stopped answering.
By the time Fang Ze memorized the list of all the parties involved, He Weidao had completely become the eye of the storm, giving people an extremely depressing and crazy feeling.
However, Fang Ze, who had [Demigod Prison] and [Semi-Mysterious Realm], didn't care at all about He Weidao's threats.
On the contrary, he reminded softly, "Speaker, in the two days before I came to see you, I have written dozens of letters and sent them out of the state capital. If I cannot leave intact, then these letters will be treasured by Chaofan."
The tools will be sent to the remaining nine noble families in the eastern jurisdiction. They will also be sent to the federal government, state parliaments and the inspectors of various military bases."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, He Weidao, who was already on the verge of explosion, finally calmed down completely.
He also knew that he had just lost his composure and had exposed a lot of things, so his head was racing, looking for ways to remedy the situation.
After a moment, he looked at Fang Ze and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I might have scared you. Most of the people you just mentioned were my colleagues back then, so I was a little out of control."
After speaking, he added, "Did you find anything when you read out their names?"
I have to say that He Weidao is indeed an old fox. If it weren't for the fact that he was a bit wandering during this period and Fang Ze caught him off guard, Fang Ze might have been deceived by his current acting skills.
However, now that what Tao is has been exposed, it is impossible for Fang Ze to be deceived.
So Fang Ze said, "Speaker, you have been exposed before. So, why don't we be honest?"
He Weidao looked at Fang Ze, tapped his fingers on the sofa, and replied in a nonchalant manner, "Exposed? Do you doubt me?"
After saying that, he asked softly, "Why?"
He said, "Is someone trying to frame me up to you?"
Fang Ze pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course not. It's just that someone provided some evidence from that year and wanted me to reopen the case."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, He Weidao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to distinguish whether Fang Ze was telling the truth or a lie.
After a moment, he said, "Congressman Fang is busy with official duties now, so he probably doesn't have time, right?"
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not too busy. After all, the work of executive councilors is very simple. It doesn't take much energy."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, He Weidao knew that Fang Ze was asking for a price. So he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said, "Normally, in order to ensure the independence of each state, the jurisdiction
Regional department heads cannot serve in the state assembly.”
Hearing what He Weidao said, Fang Ze pretended to be surprised and said, "Then Chief Black Shark can't be the deputy speaker of our state?"
He Weidao opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "Theoretically, that's the case. I will talk to Minister Hei about this issue tonight and listen to his opinion."
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Thank you, Speaker."
After speaking, Fang Ze continued, "By the way, Speaker. Normally, the directors of the security bureaus of each state are executive members, but in our West Coast state..."
He Weidao said, "This is indeed not a thorough consideration during the nomination. If there is a position, Director Lan Bing will give priority to fill it."
Fang Ze smiled and said, "The Speaker is wise."
After praising He Dao, Fang Ze continued, "In addition, I have a few talents that I would like to recommend to you, Speaker."
After more than ten years of cultivating Qi, He Weidao's temperament returned to his original state after the initial gaffe, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking. And when Fang Ze heard that
With that said, he just took a deep look at Fang Ze and nodded, "Go ahead."
Seeing that He Weidao was so cooperative, Fang Ze was not polite and directly introduced all the masters in his family, and took the initiative to propose positions suitable for them. Later, he also mentioned some who were not taken away by the Bai family and remained in the state capital.
, but was demoted as a vassal of the Bai family.
He Weidao listened quietly, neither agreeing nor objecting. It wasn't until Fang Ze finished speaking that he slowly said, "I will consider arranging them."
When Fang Ze saw this, he smiled and said, "Then I will thank the Speaker for them."
At this point, Fang Ze's goal was basically achieved. He looked at the time and said, "Then if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Seeing Fang Ze taking the initiative to leave, He Weidao didn't hold back. He nodded and said "hmm" from his nose.
Fang Ze knew that he was unhappy, so he didn't try to tease him. Anyway, today's goal was achieved, which was enough. So he stood up and walked to the door of the study with satisfaction. But just when Fang Ze opened the door and was about to walk out, he
Stopped in place.
Realizing that Fang Ze suddenly stopped leaving, He Weidao couldn't help but turn his head and look over. Then he heard Fang Ze say, "Speaker, in addition to talking about official matters, I also have a personal request."
He Weidao looked at him indifferently, waiting for him to speak.
When Fang Ze saw this, he slowly said, "I think both the federal government and the state should be more fair about Mr. Bai's death."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, He Weidao was silent for a while, then slowly nodded.
After seeing that the last goal of the day was achieved, Fang Ze finally left He Weidao's study in a relaxed mood.
After Fang Ze left, He Weidao's entire study suddenly fell into silence. He Weidao just sat there, his whole person's aura was like an abyss, like a prison, which made people feel extremely terrifying.
After a moment, there was a slight movement in the corner of the study, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said softly, "My lord, do you need your subordinates to kill him?"
When He Weidao heard what the figure said, he was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "No need. Killing him will only fall into his trap."
When the figure heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Did you fall into his trap?"
He Weidao said "hmm" expressionlessly and analyzed,
"He lied twice in total during today's conversation."
"One time was when he said he had evidence. That time he concealed it so well that it was almost invisible."
"Another time, it was when he said, 'He made arrangements in advance, and once he dies, he will send letters to the entire region's senior officials on a regular basis.' This time, he showed very obvious signs of lying."
"This shows that the former is what he wants me to believe and the latter is what he wants me to see through."
"So, he actually had no evidence in his hand, and he didn't make any arrangements in advance. He was just waiting for me to kill him and then fully confirm my crime."
Hearing what He Weidao said, the figure was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Waiting for you to kill him? Then doesn't he want to use death to realize his plan?"
Hearing this, He Weidao shook his head and said with a deep look, "No, he won't die. He has a way to save his life."
He Weidao said, "He knows my strength and wants me to kill him, but he doesn't have the will to die. This shows that he is very confident that he can escape from the hands of the ultimate master."
"Although I don't know why he is so confident, I have made enough mistakes today and I don't want to take another gamble."
The figure pondered for a while and said, "Then, Lord, are we just going to follow his wishes?"
He Weidao leaned on the sofa and said nonchalantly, "Since he wants it, then give it to him."
"It's just a deputy speaker, an executive member and a few ordinary members. It won't cause any trouble."
"The wheel of history will not stop for anyone. It is only a matter of time that the aristocracy will be replaced by ordinary humans."
The figure said unwillingly, "But aren't you being controlled by him like this? He can keep threatening you with this matter in the future."
Hearing what the figure said, He Weidao smiled. At this moment, he returned to his strategizing state, "That's great. This is what I want."
Hearing the words He Weidao, the figure was stunned for a moment, almost not understanding the meaning of He Weidao.
What you want?
Why is it that my master wants to be "controlled"?
