Gao Yang has other plans now, so naturally he doesn’t have time to get to know him.【】
After he left school, he went off alone, met Ding Ling at the agreed place, and then went to the dining place agreed with Huo Xiu tonight, Haitian Food Garden.
This Haitian Food Garden is quite famous in Tianshi City, but in terms of high-end style, it is definitely not as good as these luxury hotels nowadays. I can only say that it was a good place to eat in Tianshi City many years ago.
Although it is still there now, the style is much out of date.
But I have to say that for people who really pay attention to eating, besides the environment, the most important thing is the taste.
This is also the reason why there are people queuing up at many food stalls. As the saying goes, the aroma of wine does not matter if the alley is deep. As long as the food is delicious, there will be people eating it even in a small dark room.
This is the case with Haitian Food Garden. The food cooked by the chefs here is more delicious than other places.
After Ding Ling took him in, she went directly into a private room. It was already dinner time and there were many people, but this private room was upstairs and very secluded.
After entering, Gao Yang found a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and white collar sitting there waiting.
This man looks very fair and delicate. Although he may be around forty years old, he does not look old at all. Instead, he has a mature and stable temperament, which is very masculine.
When he saw Ding Ling, he stood up and wanted to say something. The smile on his face was as refreshing as spring breeze: "Director Ding, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Sit down quickly. I've already asked someone to prepare food. It'll be up soon."
Ding Ling smiled: "You're welcome, Father Huo. This is the friend I told you, his name is Gao Yang."
Huo Xiu immediately reached out to Gao Yang: "I know this Mr. Gao, it's our first time meeting you. I'm very honored to meet you. Please sit down."
Gao Yang couldn't feel a trace of temper from this man. He stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a faint smile: "I have also heard the name of Father Huo mentioned by Director Ding. It is a blessing to be able to come to Tianshi City to take over as the priest this time."
Many believers in Shicheng are lucky to meet you."
Huo Xiu personally picked up the teapot, poured tea one after another, then sat down and said gently: "It should be said that it is my luck. The Brahma Sect has come to this day not only because of the protection of the almighty God Brahma, but also because of the piety of these hundreds of millions of believers."
Billions of people!
Does Brahma Religion already have such a deep foundation?
Gao Yang was a little unbelievable, but when he thought about the huge and widespread power of the church now, he couldn't help but be shocked. He had once been in the world of cultivation, and that place also had a vast territory and a large population.
However, any sect, no matter how powerful it is and how many experts it has, cannot compare to the development of the Brahma Sect, which is so deep into the body and mind and has such a huge foundation.
This made him lament the terrible spread of the church.
At this moment, the waiter had already brought the food, which was very rich. Gao Yang could see from these dishes that the Brahma religion did not have many taboos, and many of the meals were edible.
Huo Xiu was very enthusiastic and immediately picked up the chopsticks and invited the two of them to taste it.
Ding Ling glanced at Gao Yang, took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and took a bite, and then asked casually: "Father Huo, your Brahma Sect has never had any interaction with our officialdom, why did you think of treating me to dinner this time?"
Huo Xiu immediately said: "Director Ding, many people know that the police are the foundation for maintaining public order, but they don't know that the Arbitration Bureau has always been the one who really carries the heavy burden. This secret department is the one who plays the leading role. In every
This place is also the real guarantee of public security. This time I come to Tianshi City to serve as a priest, so naturally I have to have a meal with Director Ding first and become familiar with him."
The priest spoke in a down-to-earth manner and had no airs at all. In comparison, he was much more presentable than Lu Yinghui and Ge Linsheng.
However, both priests died because of him and Ding Ling. Gao Yang didn't believe that Huo Xiu was just here to get close.
Ding Ling naturally didn't believe it either: "Father Huo, let's not speak secretly. Your Brahma Sect has an extraordinary influence in the Celestial Empire. So you asked me to come today, and I gave you this face. But since I'm here, I can't
It’s just a meal, if you have any thoughts or purposes, you’d better say it directly.”
Huo Xiu couldn't help but paused with her chopsticks and looked at Ding Ling with a smile: "Director Ding, you are really refreshing. In fact, you may have misunderstood me. The reason why I invited you to dinner this time is really not because of the two priests.
.”
"Really?"
"Absolutely not. When our Brahma Sect headquarters learned about the evil deeds done by the last two priests, we were very angry and asked for a ruling. However, it was very appropriate for the Arbitration Bureau to handle this matter on our behalf. The Brahma Sect has no objections."
Ding Ling suddenly smiled: "Father Huo, if you say that, you must have something else to do with me."
Huo Xiu touched his chin and laughed dryly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but after all, the Arbitration Bureau has special powers, so our Brahma Sect has a bold plan to obtain special approval from your Tianshi City Arbitration Bureau!
"
For any approval in Tianshi City, you only need to go to the city bureau, but Father Huo found him.
Ding Ling naturally wanted to know that what Huo Xiu wanted to approve was not an ordinary matter.
She remained calm, took another mouthful of food, swallowed it, and said calmly: "Father Huo, you'd better tell us what you want our arbitration bureau to approve first."
Huo Xiu smiled mysteriously: "We in Getian Mansion don't have a large gathering church yet. Our Brahma Sect wants to find a suitable place to develop and build near Tianshi City as a gathering center for believers in the ten cities of Getian Mansion."
Ding Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father Huo, there is no need to discuss this decision of your Brahma Sect with me. Can you just submit the plan to the city bureau normally and let the city bureau approve it?"
Huo Xiu smiled bitterly: "That's true, but regarding the special nature of this place, I'm afraid it's not the city bureau that can make the decision. It's up to your arbitration bureau to make the decision."
Ding Ling rolled her eyes and asked, "Where did you choose?"
Huo Xiu's eyes flashed: "Agarwood Valley."
Agarwood Valley!
Now Gao Yang's expression couldn't help but change. Huo Xiu couldn't help but smile when she saw the weird expressions of the two of them: "Director Ding, Mr. Gao, you seem to be very sensitive to this place. Is there anything wrong?"
Gao Yang smiled lightly: "Father Huo, did your Brahma Sect conduct any investigation when you chose the place Agarwood Valley?"
Huo Xiu said seriously: "This is natural. No matter what decision we make in the Brahma Sect, we will all vote through the parliament. Only with three-quarters of the votes can we decide to launch the plan."
This Brahma Sect is really powerful, it even has a parliament.
Has this become a state within a state?
Gao Yang frowned and said solemnly: "Father Huo, Chenxiang Valley is located in a remote area. You will have many inconveniences in building a large church center there, such as transportation, terrain, reclamation of wilderness, and tree maintenance, not to mention the later laying of power grids.
The construction and connection of signal base stations and water flow guidance are all big projects."
Agarwood Valley is located in a barren mountainous area, and what Gao Yang said was not alarmist at all.
Huo Xiu didn't care, and just smiled slightly: "It seems that Mr. Gao also knows a lot about Chenxiang Valley. You are right. The development of that place is indeed a big project, but it is not a problem for our Brahma Sect.
There are mountains to build mountains, but there are no roads to build roads, and I believe that if this project is completed, it will greatly promote the development of Tianshi City."
Damn, having money means being willful.
Gao Yang rolled his eyes and looked at Ding Ling. Ding Ling thought for a while and then said: "Father Huo's words are reasonable. Brahma believers are all over the country. Today, Shicheng will be used as the center of Ge Tian's ten cities to build a large church center."
, then it will greatly promote the development of the city, but I cannot agree to the Chenxiang Valley you chose. If your religion is really determined to build a church center, I suggest you change the place."
Huo Xiu's face darkened slightly: "Why, Director Ding, isn't it possible for Chenxiang Valley?"
Ding Ling said righteously: "Absolutely not."
Huo Xiu frowned: "Director Ding, why do you have to be so serious? I invited you over for dinner just to talk to you. As long as we can talk, no matter what conditions you put forward, our Brahma Sect will consider it."
.”
Ding Ling said solemnly: "Huo Xiu, since you know a lot about Chenxiang Valley, do you know how many people have died in that place?"
Huo Xiu nodded: "I know, that place is a dangerous place. Many people who wanted to explore there ended up dying there for no apparent reason."
Hearing his nonchalant answer, Ding Ling and Gao Yang were both very surprised.
They originally thought Huo Xiu would pretend not to know.
But this guy didn't hide anything and confessed directly, which made both of them a little confused about how to deal with it.
They glanced at each other, and then Ding Ling said: "Father Huo, since you understand this, I think you should understand this matter. We cannot let private individuals develop such a dangerous place at will, otherwise
If it causes greater danger in the future, it will be due to the negligence of the relevant departments."
Huo Xiu immediately waved his hand: "I don't think Director Ding has to worry about this. Since we have considered this place repeatedly, we are sure that we can suppress the dangers here and ensure that we will not cause trouble to the officials. Regarding this, signing the agreement is
no problem."
To this extent, it can be said that he is full of sincerity.
But the more this happened, the more Ding Ling felt that Huo Xiu's purpose was not small. She shook her head: "What I just mentioned is a dangerous place. Father Huo, I think you also know why that place is so dangerous, but there are still people flocking to it.
Go."
Huo Xiu rolled her eyes and said innocently: "I don't know, isn't it the excitement of adventure that's at work?"
Now he was pretending to be confused.
Ding Ling snorted: "Father Huo, you are not being honest. Don't you know that there may be a treasure of spiritual grass in Agarwood Valley?"
Huo Xiuqian laughed: "I have heard a few rumors from people, but this kind of news is most likely groundless and unfounded. If our Brahma Sect wants to develop this place, we will have to clear up the rumors, and no matter how big the Agarwood Valley is,
Ji, we also want to make it a pure land and give everyone a peaceful world!" []
