"Father, I have personally visited several big families in Qingzhou City to explain it to them. They all promised not to pursue it further, and they will not ask anything about yesterday's incident, nor will they say anything about it."
"The confidentiality agreement has been signed."
After listening to Tang Tao's words, Tang Dong nodded.
As his son, he felt more at ease when doing things, not to mention that those people were all smart people, and they knew better than anyone else what should be said and what should not be said.
Waiting for the Tang family to send someone to the door, just to get some benefits.
"Father, next..." Tang Tao hesitated before speaking.
"Then it's time for me, an old man, to work hard!" Tang Dong said with a smile.
"Father, does this cost the Tang family a little too much?" Tang Tao hesitated for a moment and said.
In his opinion, it was really unnecessary for the Tang family to make such a big sacrifice for Chen Qiye.
Even the Tang family has to pay a price in order to make these families compromise, especially for these big families, the Tang family has to pay a big price.
When Tang Dong heard this, he was unusually lifeless.
If in the past, when someone expressed doubts about Chen Qiye, he would definitely reprimand him.
"Remember, as the eldest son and the future person in charge of the Tang family, for some things, you have to take a long-term view and don't care too much about the immediate gains and losses, especially since you are now in a high position and will be in Qingzhou in the future.
The city's feudal official needs to look at three steps before taking one step, do you understand?"
Tang Tao was still a little confused.
He is successful in officialdom, regardless of his status as a member of the Tang family. However, if he had no ability, it would be impossible for him to reach this point just based on his status as a member of the Tang family.
Qingzhou City belongs to the top 100 cities, and Tang Tao can be said to belong to the sub-provincial level.
"Do you still feel that the sacrifices made by the Tang family are too great?" Tang Dong asked.
"Yes, father, in my opinion, the role played by the Tang family in this matter is a bit disgraceful, almost offending all the families in Qingzhou City." Tang Tao said truthfully.
Tang Dong smiled and shook his head.
"No."
"If the Tang family can continue to maintain its current status, this will not be called offending, but a deterrent. Since they have received the benefits, they will not dare to make any further moves."
Tang Dong paused and continued: "But if one day the Tang family is ruined, these people are like man-eating tigers. They will pounce together and divide the Tang family completely."
When Tang Tao heard this, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
If that were the case, the Tang family would probably be completely doomed.
"So what you have to think about is not how much the Tang family has to pay, but what the Tang family can get after paying the price. This is the key, do you understand?"
Facing his father's words, Tang Tao nodded and said, "I understand, father, but what can Master Chen bring to the Tang family?"
In Tang Tao's view, Chen Qiye was indeed an expert. He was able to revive his father who was on the verge of death and had no cure. His method was so miraculous that he could be called the reincarnation of Hua Tuo.
But so what?
The Tang family also paid for this.
And in Tang Tao's opinion, this reward is not small. In addition to the visible money and villa, there is also the Tang family's favor.
"You still think that Master Chen is not worthy of being on an equal footing with the Tang family." Tang Dong smiled bitterly, "How would you know that, let alone being on an equal footing, even if Master Chen wanted to destroy our Tang family, he could do so easily.
thing."
Tang Tao was stunned for a moment, his expression full of shock.
Somewhat shocked.
Is it easy to destroy the Tang family?
He couldn't accept it for a while.
In his opinion, with the old man in the Tang family, even Yanjing would not dare to be too presumptuous unless the Tang family did something too outrageous.
This time, Tang Tao was worried that the old man would touch those people's bottom line.
"You know everything about martial arts in the secular world, but most of it is just the tip of the iceberg. Apart from what you and I can see, there are also those that cannot be seen. That kind of power... is the most huge and terrifying.
"
"My old bones are going to die eventually. When the time comes, you need someone who can help shake up some of Yanjing's existence. Master Chen is the best choice."
"If that day comes, it will be worth it even if the Tang family's wealth is exhausted. Some things can be regenerated, and some opportunities, once missed, will never come back."
"What's more, this matter is not only related to Master Chen, but also the lives of many people!"
Tang Dong said with a very serious expression.
"Master Chen, is he really that powerful?" Tang Tao asked in disbelief.
"No." Tang Dong shook his head, "It's more powerful than you can imagine."
Recalling the report of the investigation team, it said that all the flowers, plants and trees on the island were dead that day!
Not a blade of grass grows!
Tang Dong felt hard to calm down for a long time.
Is he a strong person?
I'm afraid Master Chen's strength, like many big families in Yanjing, is full of mystery.
To this end, the Sixth Security Department set up a special investigation team.
This is also a consistent process. All matters related to high martial artists will be handled by the Sixth Security Department with full authority.
At this moment, Tang Jia led three men in black clothes and walked in.
The three men's attire is somewhat similar to that of European priests, but they are different from priests. In addition to black formal robes, they each hold a short sword in their hands, which looks like a very strange combination.
But it looks very natural to them.
Tang Tao didn't stay too long, nodded to the three of them, said hello and left.
His identity is too sensitive and he cannot participate in some things.
"minister."
When the three of them saw Tang Dong, they all bowed and saluted, their expressions full of respect.
Tang Dong waved his hand and said: "I am no longer a minister, just a bad old man."
One of the three leaders said: "Until there is a new minister in the sixth department, you will always be the minister, and no one can change it!"
"Huzi, you are still like that. If you are too straightforward, you will suffer a loss." Tang Dong said with a smile, "But I appreciate it very much!"
The man who was called Bearded had a smile on his serious face.
"Minister, you also know that I don't act like this to outsiders."
Tang Dong nodded and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. What was the result of the second investigation?"
The beard restrained the smile on his face and replied: "Minister, the results of the second investigation show that not only have all the life characteristics on the island been lost, but they will probably not regenerate within fifty years, turning it into a desert island."
."
"oh?"
Tang Dong's expression became increasingly solemn.
Master Chen's methods... are really more surprising every time!
"What are the opinions of other people in Part 6?" Tang Dong asked calmly.
"Minister, others feel that this person is too dangerous and will threaten the safety of ordinary people. They suggest that we arrest him immediately!"
"Ordinary people?" Tang Dong sneered, "I think they are worried about threatening their status!"
The three bearded men did not speak and pretended that they had never heard these words.
"What about you? What do you three think?" Tang Dong asked.
The three of them are considered his old subordinates. Not long after they entered the Sixth Security Department, they followed him, and now he has become an old man.
These three people have also become elders in the ministry, and their status is not low.
Huzi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said seriously: "Minister, we feel that this person must also be eliminated! His existence is too threatening to anyone no matter who he is. Once out of control, the consequences will be very terrible."
"If it is not removed, it will be difficult to give an explanation to the superiors."
