Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person

   Chapter 176 93. The truth about the demise of the Si family (5000 words)

   "The people who were in charge of receiving them at that time were He Weidao, who had just boarded the [Speaker] of the State Assembly, and the head of the three aristocratic families."

   "At that time, although He Weidao was nominally the highest person in charge of a state, in fact, the entire Xida state was still under the control of the three nobles."

   "The Security Bureau, the local government offices, and even the federal garrison reorganized from the Kingdom Guard are basically under the control of the Bai Family, Jiang Family, and Si Family."

   "Although He Weidao has supported a group of his own people from the populace in various departments, the general trend has not changed, and they have always been marginalized."

   "Even him."

   "Obviously he is the speaker of a state, but among the 72 members of the state legislature, only a single digit is a populist and is truly loyal to the federation. The rest are controlled by the three major nobles."

   "He is in the state of Xida, and it can almost be said that the decree does not go out of the parliamentary hall. Everyone only hears about the three nobles, not the federation."

   "So, even if the Federal Chancellor and his wife visit, he must first discuss the itinerary with the three nobles before making a decision."

   "And in order to make the Speaker and his wife feel at home, he repeatedly asked the Si family to give up a separate garden in the state capital as a temporary residence for the Speaker and his wife."

   "After several rounds of deliberation, the Si family finally reluctantly agreed."

   "However, although it was agreed that the chief speaker and his wife could temporarily live in their family's other garden, the Si family was extremely uncooperative when they handed over."

"The servants and servants in the family not only have a bad attitude towards the life team of the Great Speaker, but also run on words lukewarmly from time to time. Calligraphy and painting, can't afford to pay."

   When talking about this history, the old man's eyes were a bit distant, as if he had penetrated time, and saw the scene of ten years ago when the federation was weak, the aristocracy was prosperous, and the states were separated.

   And the adjutant who had been listening couldn't help clenching his hands.

   After all, he is also a civilian and works in the Federation garrison. The federal garrison is the most violent institution directly under the Federation. Therefore, the humiliation of the Federation is equivalent to his humiliation.

Perhaps sensing his emotions, the old man put his hands behind his back, glanced at him lightly, and then continued, "These things have reached the ears of the populist elites headed by He Dao. They are just like you, very annoyed. "

   "But because the three nobles are powerful, I can only swallow my voice and go to the Si family again to discuss."

   "The Si family doesn't know what happened secretly, but it did punish their servants in the open, and replaced a group of servants for the command and use of the life team of the great speaker."

   "And the original group of servants were transferred back to the Si family to serve, and they were forbidden to go to the other gardens during the visit of the great speaker."

   "After that, the Grand Speaker arrives."

   "On that day, no matter what Dao is, or the three great nobles who do not deal with the Federation, all of them will welcome them in person."

   "On that day, the silver dragon led the way, the fire and phoenix danced, the sky rained the law, and the fire cloud burned all the way to Xida from the sky. Above the red cloud, the inspection team rode the colorful bridge."

   "At that time, the entire state capital, whether it was fake or real, was extremely boiling, and a hundred flowers were blooming."

   "According to the normal procedure, on the same day, a group of important members of Xida State will hold a welcome reception to welcome the Speaker and his wife."

   "This reception was indeed held as usual in Sijiabeiyuan."

   "At the reception, you will feel at home and be happy."

   "On that night, everyone seemed to have put aside their prejudice and disputes, and all were enjoying this rare happy time."

   The adjutant raised his head, his eyes began to become distant, as if he saw the jubilant situation that night.

   And at this moment, the old man's voice changed, "Until the dinner party is over."

   "Mrs. Grand Chancellor suddenly found that the gorse she was wearing was missing."

   The adjutant froze suddenly.

   And the old man also said slowly, "Gorgeous is a very magical and very precious extraordinary plant, which only grows in the rich mining area of ​​[Qin Ore]."

   "Ten years to take root, ten years to sprout, ten years to bloom. After the flowers bloom, they will never be defeated. And all year round, cloudy and rainy days will show different colors."

"And, more importantly, it is said that this flower has the ability to regenerate. After picking it and putting it in another place, inserting it into the soil, it will re-grow. As it grows, it will grow small scales in the nearby area. of the [Qin Ore] vein."

   "When such a valuable thing was lost, one can imagine how tense the atmosphere was at the time."

   "The Speaker was furious on the spot and demanded a thorough investigation of this matter."

   "He Weidao had no power in his hands, so he had to appoint the Jiang family who controls the executive hall to investigate the matter."

   "The Jiang family happily took the order, and then summoned a team of detectives from the Municipal Investigation Bureau to start investigating the case. And the results were found in just a few days."

   Having said this, the old man suddenly stopped talking.

   Halfway through the story, the adjutant's heart felt as if it was itching.

   So, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the result?"

   There was no light on the old man's gloomy face, as if he was completely plunged into darkness, he said slowly, "They found a small group of 21 people who were anti-federal and anti-human from the servants of the Si family."

   "These people are all human-like disaster creatures with the bloodline of disaster creatures, or the [Darkness] ability of the Si family."

   "These people confessed to the fact that they stole the gorse, and admitted that they were instructed by the head of the Si family."

   Adjutant: ? ? ?

  Although he knew that this incident eventually led to the demise of the Si family, this turn of events still surprised the adjutant.

   He couldn't help asking, "Is this a bit too noisy? Just lost a gorse, and found out an anti-federal and anti-human organization?"

   The old man chuckled and said, "Why not."

   "So, as soon as this conclusion came out, the Si family and the Bai family were in an uproar."

   "However, this conclusion was arrived at by the nobles themselves, not by the federation."

   "So, the Great Speaker was furious, and directly mobilized the military power and masters of the three neighboring states directly under the Federation, and then uprooted the Si family. All the direct blood and cronies were all headed. No one survived."

   "The federal garrison of Xida carried out a major purge from top to bottom, and all those who were close to the Si family were killed and caught."

   "At this point, the Si family, one of the three major nobles in Xida, has died."

   The adjutant opened his mouth slightly, and his brain was a little difficult to function.

   After a while, he said, "Sir, why do I always feel that this is a bit weird?"

   The old man chuckled and said, "Of course it's weird."

   He paused and said,

   "This happened suddenly. Many aristocratic families in the entire federation, including the Jiang family, were dissatisfied with the hasty decision of the federation and questioned the federation's grand speaker."

"However, the Great Speaker showed the confidence that he dared to do this. Fifty-seven demigod-level military bases in the spiritual world came out, and in the name of joint negotiations with the nobles of the states, they flew to the states and took over the federations of the states. Guards."

   "So. All the voices of dissatisfaction disappeared."

   Speaking of this, the old man paused and said with a half-smile, "It's already absurd enough that this matter has developed to this point."

   "But, at this time, something even more absurd happened."

The adjutant was numb because of the absurd thing just now. Hearing the old man's words, he couldn't help but look over and asked, "What is more absurd?"

   said the old man, "The gorse has been found."

   Adjutant: ? ?

  The old man said, "The gorse was found in the jewelry box of Mrs. Grand Chancellor. It turns out that she forgot to bring it that day."

   Adjutant: ? ? ? ?

   Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help laughing "Hahaha".

The adjutant didn't know what to say for a while.

   He couldn't help stumbling and asked, "But, what did the Jiang family investigate?"

The old man    looked at him, blinked, and said, "Yes. How did the Jiang family investigate?"

   Adjutant: .

The adjutant    thought of an extremely terrifying fact, and his whole body was covered in chills.

The old man saw that he understood, then turned his head with a smile, and said lightly, "Since then, the Si family died, and the power of the Jiang family plummeted. Step by step, it has become a populist giant in the Eastern Region."

  The monitoring room fell silent for a while.

   After a long while, the adjutant asked, "My lord, is all this a conspiracy?"

   He thought for a moment, then said, "I remember there were rumors before. To be honest, the Federation has always had two attitudes towards disaster creatures. Extermination and coexistence."

   "And the Si family is a coexistence faction. And because of their special awakening ability, they can give birth to new species of disaster creatures, so many people are skeptical of their position."

   "So, maybe the Federation has long been dissatisfied with the Si family?"

   The old man put his hands behind his back, looked at the monitor, and said lightly, "I don't know."

The adjutant    blinked, then paused for a moment, and then said, "I also heard that the old man of the Si family died early. After his death, the Jiang family has actually been plotting their power in the federal garrison."

   "In addition, the Federation has never deprived noble titles or destroyed noble families before."

   "So, is it possible that when the Federation or Heweidao found the Jiang family, the Jiang family thought they were just suppressing the Si family. In the end, they were directly regarded as swordsmen?"

  The old man still had his hands behind his back, looked at the monitor, and said lightly, "I don't know."

The adjutant blinked again, and asked again, "Has the Federation kept a low profile for nearly 40 years, its strength is already unprecedentedly strong, but it has been holding back, waiting for an opportunity, which can not only make the nobles quarrel, but also reasonably suppress the states. ."

   "And why is Dao keenly aware of the Federation's mind, and aware of the contradiction between the Si family and the Jiang family, so he deliberately created this opportunity?"

   The old man still had his hands behind his back, looked at the monitor, and said lightly, "I don't know."

  Although the old man said "I don't know" all the questions, but the adjutant from his indifferent state and attitude of not denying, realized that this might be the truth or at least the truth that the old man thought.

   He was a little lost for a while.

   Because he suddenly understood why the old man said this was the most absurd incident in the history of the Federation.

Is    absurd?

  Absurd!

   But after thinking about it, it feels extremely scary.

  The human heart is like the sea, and the "heart" of the country and family is even more elusive and elusive

   Just as he was thinking so, the old man looked at Fang Ze who was being monitored, and asked, "What did you learn from the [Gorgeous Incident]?"

The adjutant    thought for a while, and then said, "Everything is strength is king? Is the truth within the radiation range of the military base?"

   The old man shook his head.

The adjutant    thought again, "Can't be an enemy of the country? All those who are enemies of the country have no good end?"

   The old man shook his head again.

The adjutant    continued to think, "The fortress was breached from within, can't you sell your allies for short-term gain?"

   The old man continued to shake his head.

   However, this time he gave his own explanation.

   He said slowly, "Tell us about this. The federation and the states, not the investigation agency, do not need to solve the case."

   "In this bloodless battlefield, many times, the truth doesn't matter."

   "The important thing is, what goals do the various forces want to achieve?"

   "Where there is purpose, there is truth."

   Having said this, he changed his voice and turned back to the case of Huayangjie's death.

   He said lightly, "I also wanted to investigate how this Yang Hua master died at first."

   "Who moved the hand? Who killed it? And find out the culprit and the participants."

   "However, the Jiang family and the Bai family obviously feel that this is not a case, but a political incident."

   "No matter who the murderer is, if their people are involved, it is likely to cause attacks from other forces."

   "It makes no sense for them to investigate the case clearly."

   "What they need is to exchange interests for all parties to compromise on this matter, and to find a reasonable 'truth' to understand the case and eliminate the impact as soon as possible."

   "As for the real murderer, it can be traced and killed slowly afterwards."

   "So, after the case happened, they treated us negatively and didn't cooperate."

   "Because they know that in this matter, our attitude is not important, but the opinions of the various forces that govern the region are important."

   Speaking of this, he pointed to the top and said, "Now, maybe they have gone to the jurisdiction area and are trying to balance the forces of all parties."

   Hearing this, the adjutant finally understood why the old man has been asking about the Bai and Jiang's movements these days.

   But he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "But, what does this have to do with Fang Ze?"

   "Why do you say that even if Fang Ze is innocent, he can't get away?"

The    old man sighed, and then said, "Even if things are settled, there must be a consummate and plausible truth."

   "Now, there are three people involved in this matter: Jin Luan, Jiang Cheng and Fang Ze."

   "Do you think the Jiang family and the Bai family are running around to protect who?"

   "And who is the best scapegoat?"

The adjutant    was dumbfounded.

   For a moment, he couldn't help but look at the surveillance screen.

   At this time, he suddenly discovered a "suspicious point", he looked at the old man and questioned, "Since this is the case, why did you ask Master Fanta to investigate the truth of this matter?"

   The old man put his hands behind his back, and said, "This is the second truth [Gorgeous Incident] taught us."

   "On the political finger, don't believe any promises."

   "For profit, your boss will betray you, and your allies will betray you. You can only trust yourself."

   He said, "If there is any 'truth' above, I will give them the 'truth'."

   "Then once this matter is overturned, who will be held responsible for the wrong judgment of this matter?"

   "Obviously it's me."

   "I am the next Jiang family after being found by the Grand Speaker's wife."

   His eyes were filled with memories again, "Back then, the Jiang family was the royal family of Xida, and many people believed in it."

   "As a result, after He Wei Dao finished using them, he turned his hands and pitted them together. During that time, the reputation of the Jiang family plummeted."

   "Other people don't know the role of Dao in it. They only know that the Jiang family, as a royal family, even framed and framed the Si family in the same camp."

   "So, let alone the Jiang family's hands in the federal garrison, even their basic foundations in the local government offices are beginning to fall apart."

   "Furthermore, he was also hostile to the Bai family and other state nobles."

   "If it wasn't for the 90-year-old Her Majesty the Queen, who has not come forward for a long time, came forward tremblingly to apologize, and severely punished the Jiang family members involved, it is estimated that the Jiang family would have ended."

   The old man said, "So... I'll break my case. They exchange their interests."

   "If there is any progress on my side, I will report it truthfully. If the above wants to change the result, that's the matter above. It has nothing to do with me."

   "Although I'm not a big man in the Eastern Region, but I control a military base, and my status is considered aloof. They don't dare to provoke me easily."

   Hearing the old man's words, the adjutant couldn't help but glance at Fang Ze, who was still answering under surveillance.

   For a while, he suddenly felt a little unbearable, and he asked, "Is Fang Ze destined to be sacrificed?"

   "He's innocent."

   The old man was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, he also has a chance of survival."

   The adjutant's eyes lit up, "What vitality?"

   The old man said, "There is no place for him at the negotiating table now. It's because his value is too low."

   "But if he has something in his hands that attracts the attention of the Eastern Region, or interests that both Jiang Bai and Jiang Bai are envious of, then the situation will be reversed immediately."

   "Whether it is the jurisdiction area, or the Jiang Bai family will make concessions for this."

   "Even, it is possible to force the two families to hand over five Huayang ranks, that is, they beat themselves and then send them to Lingshan to serve together."

   Hearing the old man's words, the adjutant said involuntarily, "How is this possible!"

   "In the jurisdiction area, there are Jiang Bai's rank, Huayang rank is only a chess piece, Fang Ze is an awakened person, how can he have the qualifications to negotiate with them?"

  The old man looked at Fang Ze's picture on the monitor, and said lightly, "Yes. He has."

The adjutant    looked at the old man in surprise.

  The old man said, "Flower Festival"

   "If he can crack the Hua Dynasty Festival and master a new path for the spiritual ascension of faith. Whether it is the jurisdiction of the region or the Jiang Bai family, he will be forced to make concessions."

   "He can bring this secret and force the Jiang Bai family to pay the price. Even treat him as a victim and make compensation."

   "When the time comes, everything will be resolved.".
