Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person

  Chapter 292 209. Picking up a big deal for nothing?

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia took out a document from his sleeve, and handed it to Fang Ze respectfully with both hands.

  Fang Ze put down his teacup, took the file, and looked at it.

  At first, he was a little careless, but he just rolled his eyes, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then the expression on his face became a lot more serious.

   After a while, after reading the entire document, he glanced at Mr. Jia with a smile, and said calmly, "This gift is really good."

   Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia was not surprised, but he shook his head slightly, and then said, "The young master misunderstood. This approved subsidiary city document is not a gift from me."

  He said, "I don't have the ability to let the parliament pass a noble territory within two or three days."

   "Especially with such favorable conditions."

  Hearing Mr. Jia's words, Fang Ze recalled the content of the document he read just now.

  The document is indeed very generous, or it can be said that it is so generous that it is scary: without any additional clauses, Fang Ze is directly given the financial power of the top 15 high-level cities in Xida State with a fiscal revenue of 16 billion.

   Moreover, Fang Ze agreed to list Sanzhou as a subsidiary city of the Si family without any additional conditions.

  If the analogy is that the two countries are at war, then it can be said that the parliament is unconditionally surrendering to Fang Ze.

  ‘This is a big deal for nothing? Why do you feel something is wrong? '

   Maybe Fang Ze was also aware of the problem. Councilor Jia pointed to the document, and then said softly, "Young Master, the little gift I gave is actually to tell you that this document is fraudulent."

   "Fraud?" Hearing Mr. Jia's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but glanced at him, and then asked, "What do you say?"

  Member Jia said slowly, "I think you should know. The financial income of the city you selected is too high. There are 102 nobles in the Federation, and there are very few affiliated cities with such high income as Yuncheng."

   "Even if there is, they have spent decades of hard work to raise it. It may not have recovered the cost until now."

   "So, for a choice like yours, it is reasonable for the state to impose certain restrictions. But... it doesn't, which is unreasonable."

  Speaking of this, he said in a low voice, "So I made a special inquiry, and I accidentally learned that this matter was decided by the speaker himself. That's why there are no additional conditions."

  ‘What is Tao? ’ Fang Ze said the name silently in his heart, nodded slightly, and then he asked, "If He Wei Dao specially approved it, isn't the whole thing reasonable?"

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia shook his head, and then he said, "My lord, it's not reasonable."

   "You have not formally participated in the operation of the parliament, and you don't know how cumbersome and complicated the steps are for such a major matter."

   "Coupled with such huge interests involved, normally, all parties will want to take the opportunity to find you a piece of the pie, or deliberately make trouble."

   "So even with the approval of the speaker. The normal process will not be so fast."

   "The result. It took only two days, and all the procedures were completed."

  He stared deeply at Fang Ze, and then said, "So, young master, do you understand what this means?"

  Fang Ze pondered for a while, then said softly, "Someone is behind the scenes?"

  Member Jia nodded, and then emphasized his tone, "And it is probably not alone. I want so many executive members and members to expedite and speed up such an important bill."

He looked at Fang Ze, and then said softly, "The speaker, the Bai family, the Jiang family, the Secret Service, the Federal Garrison, families large and small in Xida State, other forces and nobles who have influence on Xida State, such as Toye State The Jialan family and the three families directly under the state, it is likely that all of them have tried their best.”

  He frowned, "I don't know if this is a coincidence or the result of their discussion."

   “However, I haven’t seen this situation in decades.”

  Hearing Mr. Jia's words, Fang Ze's expression became serious, "Do you have any guesses?"

Councilor Jia came over and said in a low voice, "Young Master. After I learned the news, I stayed up late yesterday and carefully analyzed the various materials and reports from Congyun City and Sanzhou City. I am 95% sure that Congyun City There is no problem with Sanzhou."

   "If the affiliated city is not a pit. Then... the problem probably lies in your taking over the affiliated city."

  He analyzed, "Otherwise they think you will stumble in Yuncheng and Sanzhou, so they want to deliberately read your jokes."

   "Or they want to use the affiliated city as a bait to lure you out of the state capital, so as to achieve some of the goals they want to achieve."

  After listening to Mr. Jia's words, Fang Ze closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

  The information brought by Mr. Jia is very valuable. Fang Ze has only been in the state capital for a short time, and he doesn't know much about these things. When he saw this document before, he really didn't think so much. Now that he has listened to the analysis of Mr. Jia, an old fritter, he does find that this matter is a bit too strange.

   It’s just that even Mr. Jia, an old fritter, doesn’t know the purpose of so many different and even discordant forces collectively promoting this matter, and Fang Ze can’t even guess it.

  If you talk about what is the way, the Jiang family wants to harm him and lure him to leave the state capital, then he can understand. However, families and forces close to him, such as the Bai family, the secret service department, and the federal garrison, are also contributing to this matter, and why?

   You can't annoy the Bai family just because you don't want to use your feelings as a bargaining chip, and make the Bai family want to harm you, right?

  The head of the secret service department had to talk to himself about poaching Sombra yesterday, so it is impossible to kill him today, right?

  Fang Ze always felt that there must be some things he didn't know.

  Should I find a power to inquire about it?

  Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help thinking about the appointment of the three families in the directly subordinate state tonight.

   His eyes lit up, and he took out the invitation card from the three states directly under him from the space folding bag, and handed it to Councilor Jia.

After receiving the invitation from Fang Ze, Councilor Jia looked at it carefully, pondered for a while, and then said with a smile, "My lord, the three nobles directly under the prefecture invited you to the appointment tonight, and said that they have important matters to discuss .I think it may have something to do with it."

   "At that time, you can test the reality and see if there is anything tricky in it."

"I'll go back in the afternoon, and I will go to inquire about this matter again. See if there are any clues. But, don't expect too much. Because I don't know if this matter is too sensitive, I have been slapping around in the past two days I asked several people, but none of them leaked a word."

  Fang Ze nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Yes."

To be honest, this event collectively contributed by various forces is indeed too weird, and no one knows whether it is good or bad. Therefore, under such circumstances, it seems that Councilor Jia came to seek refuge before such an important matter became clear. So precious. So Fang Ze changed his previous indifferent attitude and warmly entertained Mr. Jia.

   This lunch, both the host and the guest enjoyed the meal.

Before leaving, Mr. Jia bowed to Fang Ze again, and said, "Young master, then I will go back first. If I have any news, I will report to you as soon as possible. And if you have anything, just ask Subordinate."

Fang Ze patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, since I treat you as my own, I won't be polite. Of course, I will remember all your achievements in my heart, and I will never forget them." of."

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Jia smiled at Fang Ze, bowed again, and left the Si Family Manor accompanied by a Huayang Jie.

  Fang Ze didn't see him off in person, but stood at the door of the villa and watched him leave. Hei Yu, who was standing next to Fang Ze, asked softly after Mr. Jia left, "Young master, are you really planning to take him back under your command?"

   Hearing Hei Yu's question, Fang Ze didn't answer immediately, but asked back, "What's wrong? Does someone in the family have a different opinion?"

Hei Yu pondered for a while and said, "It's not that I have a different opinion. It's just that everyone is a bit shameless towards Mr. Jia, who sold out his master's family for glory when his family was in a deep trough, and now he has risen again and returned. I don't want to see you either."

  Hearing Hei Yu's words, Fang Ze smiled, and then said, "I understand everyone's thoughts. But. If the family wants to develop, we alone are not enough."

   "It's too slow to cultivate and recruit from scratch."

   "Especially for such a person in a high position, it is even more difficult to get the other party to join him."

   "So, people like this who have a background in the Si family and have a bit of love are the best choices."

   "Having the same level of relationship as before, and then showing our strength and potential, they, who were just sloppy before, will naturally start to waver and start thinking about whether to return."

   "So, as long as we express our attitude of ignoring the past and welcoming these people, and paying a lot of money to Councilor Jia, we can quickly attract these people to join us."

   "After all, it is much more comfortable to be attached to a rising nobleman than to fight alone."

   "In this way, our family can develop rapidly."

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, Hei Yu nodded silently, and replied, "Yes, the young master is wise."

  Fang Ze saw that she was still not in a good mood, so he patted her with a smile and said, "Okay, don't think too much about it."

   "A family is also divided into internal ministers and foreign ministers. No matter how well they do, they are different from you."

   "In terms of closeness and trust, I am definitely the closest to and trust you."

  Hearing what Fang Ze said, Hei Yu showed a happy smile on her face. She bowed and said, "On behalf of the 418 veterans who are still alive, I thank the young master for his trust."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to remember something, and said, "That's right, young master. The girl you asked me to bring back last time. She stopped pestering you to see you these two days, and started to seriously Let's practice."

"but."

  Speaking of this, Heiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "She suddenly became different today, her strength jumped two steps, she directly broke through from the mid-level awakener to the fusion level, and she didn't use the ability we provided."

   "It seems... a bit weird."

  Hearing Miao Miao's topic, Fang Ze didn't care at all. He smiled and asked, "Then why do you think her strength has improved so fast?"

  Hei Yu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Fang Ze belatedly, "Young Master, it's you"

  Fang Ze didn't explain, but just said, "Train her well. After you train her, you won't regret it."

  Hearing what Fang Ze meant, although Hei Yu didn't quite understand it, he still responded, "Yes, young master."

  In the evening, Fang Ze went to the banquet in the three states directly under him according to the original plan.

   I don’t know if it’s because the Sima family has won the victory, and because the family has a second descendant, the three representatives directly under the three states are very polite to Fang Ze this time.

  Fang Ze finally knew the names of these three representatives: Liu Yu from the Liu family. The butler's life. Zhang Xinyue of the Zhang family.

  The current senior judge in Xida State that Fang Ze met before is also the father of Liu Yu among the three.

  To be honest, seeing Fang Ze this time, the three of them felt a little complicated.

   After all, when they first came to Xida, Fang Ze was just a nobleman who had just recognized his ancestors. Said to be the head of the Si family, but apart from the resources and quota given by the Federation, there was nothing.

  So they were used to arrogance in the eastern jurisdiction, and Fang Ze didn't pay much attention to it.

  Who knows the result, it was only a short period of seven or eight days. Fang Ze not only has four to five hundred awakened veterans, nearly ten Huayang rank masters, but also two top faded masters.

   Even toughened the Sima family, subdued the Jia family, and gained a firm foothold in the eastern jurisdiction.

   Such a speed of development was beyond the imagination of the three of them before they came.

  In addition to the gossip circulating in the past few days, Fang Ze has successfully integrated and is preparing for Ascension.

  According to this development, Fang Ze can be promoted to the demigod rank and become a demigod within two years, and it will be a foregone conclusion for the entire Si family to return to the peak.

  So today, they can barely meet Fang Ze because they represent the family. Otherwise, with Fang Ze's current status and status, they would not be able to see him even if they wanted to.

  Perhaps because of a change of mentality, the three nobles treated Fang Ze extremely thoughtfully, and there was nothing wrong with their etiquette.

After drinking for three rounds, Fang Ze finally asked the purpose of this visit. He glanced at the three of them, and then said slowly, "I read the invitation letter, the three of you said that you have something important to say? Excuse me. What is it?"

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, the three of them looked at each other, and then Zhang Xinyue, the only woman among the three, said, "That's it, Patriarch Fang Ze."

   "We have recently received some intelligence that someone may want to harm you."

   "It's not good for me?" Fang Ze secretly said in his heart, "It really is this matter", and asked, "Who are they?"

  Zhang Xinyue said, "There is a high probability that they are some demigod believers."

  She said, "Recently, your ability to see through the protection of demigods has spread quietly throughout the region. Many interested people know about it."

   "This ability of yours is a big killer for all the lurking demigod believers."

   "That's why many demigods couldn't sit still after getting the news. I'm afraid that after the **** Gala is over, it will be their turn next."

   "Moreover, they are also worried that you may help the Secret Service conduct a large-scale inspection of high-level states. Find out those demigod believers."

   "So... thinking about doing something to you."

  Hearing Zhang Zi's words, Fang Ze frowned slightly.

  Because I can detect the identity of demigod believers, I became the target of demigods?

  But the demigods can't come in person, so it's hard to pose a threat to themselves, right?

  Thinking about this, Fang Ze couldn't help asking, "Hasn't the Federation been strictly monitoring the arrival of demigods? They have a lot of power in the real world?"

  Hearing Fang Ze's words, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Liu Yu, the leader of the three, explained, "That's right. Fang Ze's patriarch."

   "Although the Federation has been strictly monitoring the arrival of the demigods, there are only those who are thieves a thousand days ago, and there is no one who guarded against thieves the day before. Therefore, no matter how strict the defense measures are, there must be fish that slip through the net."

   "Especially the demigods come with big goals. As long as there is movement, the Federation can deal with it in time, but they secretly develop believers. The goal is too ridiculous, so it is difficult to track down."

   "After all, they have divine power, and they also have some special awakening methods unknown to the Federation, which can give some ordinary people the awakening ability, which makes this kind of tracking operation extremely difficult."

   "So, all demigods have more or less their own forces in the real world. Some of these forces are under the control of the Secret Service, and some are not."

  Hearing Liu Yu's words, Fang Ze couldn't help asking, "What about the strength of these believers? Are there Huayang ranks?"

  The three of Liu Yu looked at each other and nodded neatly.

  Fang Ze asked again, "Peak Huayang?"

  The three of them hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

  Fang Ze frowned slightly, "Falling down to the mortal rank?"

  The three shook their heads firmly this time.

  Liu Yudao, "The mortal rank is a threshold, and it is also the bottom line for the Federation to strictly guard against. The mortal fruit and every breakthrough of the mortal rank can be observed, so so far, there should be no demigod believers in the mortal rank."

  Hearing what Liu Yu said, Fang Ze nodded slightly.

  Although he felt that Liu Yu and the others were a bit too optimistic, the demigods had been fighting the Federation for so many years, and they probably figured out a way to break the Federation's control over the Fading Mortal Rank. But... even if there are fading mortal ranks, then these fading mortal ranks must be treasures in the hands of demigods, and they probably won't use them against themselves.

  And if the highest level is only Huayang rank, Fang Ze thinks that the problem is not too big, given that Fang Ze's body and soul are both Huayang, and he got an external Dharma image last night.

  In particular, his strength has not been exposed so far, and from the outside world, it is still only a small fusion stage.

  Fang Ze felt that when the time came, he would definitely surprise those who came to assassinate him.
