Above the stars

Wang Wenyou spoke, and Lu Yunhang was arrested.

This time, the human and material evidence is solid. No matter how hard it is to be released without charge after being detained for a few days like last time, I am afraid that I will face several years in prison.

Moreover, the Mechanical Design Institute is one of the main sites controlled by the Lu family and is responsible for the design and manufacturing of a country's ordnance and other core industries.

When Lu Yunhang was caught committing a crime, the royal family had an excuse to take the Mechanical Design Institute away from them and hand it over to their own people.

It is said that this is not over yet. The Supervisory Yuan is targeting Lu Dongsheng, the Minister of Machinery Department, and wants to remove the Lu family, one of the nine major families, from the officialdom.

Now that the hard outer shell has been peeled off, it's much easier to cut the soft meat inside with a knife.

This is what everyone is thinking.

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong personally poured a glass of whiskey and handed it to Yan Wenli. He smiled and said, "I heard that you like to take a sip when you are fine?"

"Didn't I develop this habit from you?" Yan Wenli said with a sad look on his face: "Every time I come here, you ask me to have a drink with you. As time goes by, I want to have a drink myself in the office. And , and you have to drink good wine, I wouldn’t be used to drinking even if you don’t pass by here.”

"Is this still unreasonable? I treat you to a drink, treat you to a good drink, and you still blame me?" Zhong Daolong said with a smile.

"I'm not complaining, I'm just reminding you to send me more good wine. Otherwise, I will run out of food."

"No problem. I'll ask Chen Fenglei to send you a few boxes later." Zhong Daolong said boldly: "Nothing else, the wine management is enough."

"Then it won't be a loss if I leave my old life to you." Yan Wenli nodded with satisfaction.

Zhong Daolong took the initiative to raise his glass to Yan Wenli and said: "The Overwatch Council has done a good job recently, thank you for your hard work, Old Yan. Come, let me toast you."

"It is under your wise leadership that we have achieved so little. All glory goes to the Lord."

"Old Yan, are you doing this to me too?" Zhong Daolong said pretending to be displeased.

Yan Wenli laughed loudly and explained aloud: "I learned this from young people. This is what young people say when they open their mouths. I was afraid that I would fall behind, so I quickly learned it. What? Didn't I learn well?"

"A guy like this who talks so much about flattery probably doesn't have the heart to work hard."

"The king has really wronged people this time." Yan Wenli took a sip of whiskey and praised: "Since he entered our Supervisory Yuan, he has been conscientious, courageous and resourceful, and has repeatedly solved major cases. He is the most popular person in our Supervisory Yuan this year. It’s the prosecutor.”

Zhong Daolong looked slightly startled, looked at Yan Wenli and asked, "Are you talking about the Tang bandits?"

"That's this kid." Yan Wenli nodded and said aloud: "Some time ago, two members of his team were shot. One was killed and the other was injured. In order to investigate the case, he ate and lived with the team members in the office. He had not been there for several days. Go home. When you go upstairs to report to me, your hair grows like weeds."

"I got angry on the spot and said that before you solve the case, go cut my hair and change my dirty clothes. Doesn't this affect the image of our Overseas Control Yuan?"

"Actually, I admire him in my heart. This guy is ruthless when he works. He's ruthless to others and he's ruthless to himself."

"It's rare to see Dean Yan praise a young man. It seems that Bandit Tang did a good job in the Overwatch Council."

"How can the talents sent to our Oversight Council by the king be any worse?"

"You." Zhong Daolong pointed helplessly at Yan Wenli and said, "How are you doing? What are your plans next?"

"Take advantage of the victory to pursue him, take advantage of his illness, and take his life."

Zhong Daolong was silent.

"What does the Lord mean?" Yan Wenli saw Zhong Daolong's expression and knew that he had other ideas.

"The Lu family is special." Zhong Daolong said aloud: "They master the core technologies of mechanical manufacturing and intelligent technology. I am afraid that if they hit them too hard, they will shake the country's foundation."

"If only their shells are removed and their core interests cannot be touched, then the Lu family will still be the Lu family and one of the nine aristocratic families. There will be no difference from before." Yan Wenli put forward a different view.

He was born as a commoner and hated these powerful families who controlled huge resources and wealth.

If there was a chance to eradicate them one by one, he would be bound to do so and would never take a step back.

"I also understand this." Zhong Daolong nodded in agreement with Yan Wenli's words and said: "Get rid of Lu Dongsheng first, and then see the Lu family's reaction. If they can take the initiative to come to negotiate, then we will have a chance to control them. core industries and patented technologies.”

"You mean the Lu family was injured but not dead?"

"Yes." Zhong Daolong nodded and said, "We need their skills and wisdom."

"I understand." Yan Wenli nodded in agreement.

Although he has his own ideas, he must respect the ideas of the king.

Everyone thinks he is the king's dog. Is this really the case?

Yes, that's it.

After a pause, Yan Wenli looked at Zhong Daolong and asked aloud: "The Tang bandits chased after the Lu family and fought fiercely. To reach this point, can they be considered to have passed the test?"

Zhong Daolong nodded and said aloud: "I saw him flirting with the Lu family before, and I was wondering if they were closely related. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

"Yes, the first target he wanted to hit after entering the Supervisory Yuan was the Lu family. We originally thought he would be merciful, but we didn't expect him to be more ruthless than we thought. If he hadn't pried open Wang Wenyou's mouth, Lu would have I’m afraid Yunhang escaped safely.”

Yan Wenli looked at Zhong Daolong and said aloud: "No matter how they flirted with each other before and how close their relationship was, since he captured Lu Yunhang, the Lu family is probably going to eat his flesh, right?"

"Was that shooting a threat to him from the Lu family?" Zhong Daolong suddenly asked.

"It's possible." Yan Wenli thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't rule out that someone wants to muddy the waters. After all, when we attacked the Lu family, the other families were also watching."

"Maybe they want to intensify the conflict and see how far we can go against the Lu family?"

"I won't let them down after all." Yan Wenli said loudly: "However, Tang Bandit's performance is indeed good this time. I am very satisfied."

"Is it possible to put more important responsibilities in his hands?"

"I think it's okay." Zhong Daolong nodded and said, "He has offended the Qin family, has a bad relationship with the Shen family, and now he is fighting with the Lu family. He is poor and has no foundation on the new star. Who else can do it except us? Can we save his life?"

"For Her Royal Highness, he risked his life."

Zhong Daolong's eyes were slightly stern, and then he said with a smile: "If he is really willing to work hard and work hard, what if I just promise him my precious daughter?"

"Hahaha" Yan Wenli put the stern look in his eyes away, but kept a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile: "The princess is marrying you, that will really give this kid an advantage."

——

Yellow River West Road. No. 32.

As soon as Tang Bandit entered the courtyard, he smelled a strong stench.

This is the smell of corpses, and Tang Bandit is no stranger to this smell.

He covered his nose and asked aloud: "How long have you been dead? Does the body smell like this?"

"The forensic examination said he died about two weeks ago." Lin Hai came over in advance and got some understanding of the basic situation.

"Yes." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "If it is at this time, it proves that these people were silenced just after completing the transaction."

Tang Bandit walked straight to the corpse, squatted down and looked at it for a while, and then asked aloud: "How did they die?"

"Poisoning. "Seraph" was detected from their bodies. This virus is extremely ferocious and can bring down a strong adult within ten seconds. "

"Has your identity been confirmed?"

"Confirmed. I have asked the police for the murderer's information and sent it to the captain's mobile phone."

"Is he the shooter?"

"After brain-brain comparison, more than 90% of them are"

"Since they want to kill people and silence them." Tang Bandit looked up at Lin Hai and asked with doubtful eyes: "Why didn't they melt the corpses as well? Did they forget to bring the potion to melt the corpses? Or maybe they didn't have enough time?"

"If they melted the body and hosed it down, where would we search for the murderer? How would we identify them?"

Lin Hai looked solemn and asked aloud: "What does the captain mean?"

"Someone wants to be a guiding light for us." Tang Bandit said aloud.

——

In the basement.

The old man looked at Tang Bandit expressionlessly and said loudly: "The Lu family didn't do it."

"Seriously?" Tang Bandit looked at the old man thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of this sentence.

Snapped!

The old man slapped Tang Bandit on the head and cursed angrily: "You bitch, you don't even believe me anymore? If the Lu family did it, I would have admitted it on the spot. But, this matter was indeed not done by the Lu family."

"I know it wasn't the Lu family who did it. The Supervisory Yuan is now keeping an eye on the Lu family. There is no need for the Lu family to do such a thing at this time. After all, no matter whether they did it or not, everyone will suspect that it was the Lu family. "

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and said loudly: "I was wondering if you did this? I think this is very much your handiwork."

"Why would I do this?"

"You want to intensify the conflict." Tang Bandit said bluntly: "You want to intensify the conflict between the Lu family and the royal family. You want the Overwatch Council to attack more violently after being humiliated."

"You are even very dissatisfied with the Lu family's shrinking policy. You know that only when the Lu family's life and death are at stake will they reach that point."

"And you want this day to come sooner."

"You brat, you know my thoughts quite well." The old man touched his nose and said with a smile: "I did think about doing this, but it seems that someone is more anxious than me."

"Really it's not you?"

"It's really not true." The old man said anxiously, "Do you believe I will swear to you?"

"Okay, you come." Tang Bandit said.

"."

"Okay, okay, if it's not you, it's not you." Tang Bandit waved his hand and said loudly: "We are our own people, how could I doubt you?"

"If you had said it earlier, I would have really believed it." The old man said angrily: "I am also curious, which family is behind this to add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble? They seem to be more anxious than us."

"Any of the nine major families of the Qin family, Shen family, and the Shi family's Yu family is possible." Tang Bandit said: "The royal family has now made it clear that it wants to take over the power and resources controlled by the nine major families. They are now the first to take over the Lu family. After surgery, don’t the other companies feel a sense of crisis?”

"They stretched out their hands and pushed like this, which made the royal family and the Lu family fight more intensely. They also wanted to see how far the royal family could go."

"If the royal family destroys the Lu family, then the other families will destroy themselves and either unite or surrender to the royal family."

"If the Lu family inflicts pain on the royal family, or if the royal family's policies can no longer be implemented halfway through, then wouldn't their crisis be solved?"

"Yes." Tang Bandit looked at the old man and said loudly: "My recent performance is not bad, right? I beat the Lu family with gritted teeth. They should regard me as one of their own, right?"

"Yes, they want a lonely minister to be the knife. But because you were too close to the Lu family before, they still have doubts about you."

"After this incident, that suspicion should have been lifted. Now you are the person they really want. I think they will hand you a new case soon."

"At that time, the second victim will appear." Tang Bandit said aloud: "What I don't understand is, is the royal family going to fight against the nine major families with its own strength? Are any of these nine families... Loyal to the royal family?”

"There will definitely be one." The old man said aloud: "If he didn't have enough confidence, Zhong Daolong wouldn't do this at this time."

"The eldest son is about to take over, and he wants to clear as many obstacles as possible for his son. In addition, after twenty years of recuperation, he feels it is time to resolve some issues left over from history."

"What do the people inside the Lu family think? Do they hate me to the core?" Tang Bandit asked.

The old man frowned slightly, looked at Tang Bandit and said, "Don't care what others think, you just need to do your own thing."

"Whether it's the Lu family or any other family, don't have any sympathy or pity. Use gravity and hit them with dead hands to hurt them until they die."

"Only in this way can we have a chance." The old man's eyes were burning with fire as he hissed: "Originally, we didn't have any chance. We couldn't have done such a thing in peacetime."

"However, Zhong Daolong gave us a chance. He actually wanted to destroy the nine major families. If this happens, there will inevitably be turmoil and division within the empire."

"Since he committed suicide, we will send him to death."
