C2072 Hu Guolie's Outcome(2)
C2072 Hu Guolie's Outcome(2)
If the civilians knew that the First Chief didn't have any real power, they wouldn't hesitate to kill Qin Zhentian for this reason. It would definitely cause a huge uproar and lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, after Hu Guolie was secretly arrested, the higher-ups made a decision. They would resign on the grounds that he was ill and choose the new First Chief. In this way, not only would the people accept such a reason, they would also shift their attention to the election of the new chief.
However, no matter what, the number one chief was still the number one chief. Hence, the election of a new Chief No. 1 was undoubtedly a very tempting matter. Not only were the citizens discussing spiritedly, but in fact, within the internal struggle for power, that was where the real dilemma lay. The officials in the official circles would undoubtedly pay more attention to which family Chief No.1 would fall in the end compared to the ordinary people.
The election had not even begun, but the competition for the candidates was already very intense. Fann Binn's destination in Central South Sea this time was about the election for Chief No. 1.
According to the candidates' qualifications, in the new central group, among them, the reformist took up five spots. Among these five spots, there were Chiang Weiguo and Lee Dapeng's names. This undoubtedly gave Fann Binn a headache. Chiang Weiguo was his old friend. Give it to him. He had given it to ___. He had given him too much help. Logically speaking, Fann Binn should have supported him.
But the question was, who was Lee Dapeng? That was Lee Shan's father, his future father-in-law! If Fann Binn did not help his future father-in-law compete for this position, it would not make sense. Lee Shan would also be dissatisfied. Therefore, when he received a call from Chiang Weiguo asking him to go to Central South Sea for a detailed discussion, he did not have any peace along the way. He was very annoyed.
Hu Guolie was finished. He heaved a sigh of relief, but he still hadn't let go of his anger. Who would have thought that he would run into such a difficult decision? As a candidate for the reformist, there was no doubt that the support rate would be much higher. After all, he was now the leader of the reformist and had real power. In other words, Chiang Weiguo and Lee Dapeng might really become the number one chief. This would depend on who had better means!
"Mr. Fann, you should have heard about it too, right? Haha, Premier Jiang seems to be really interested. After all, it is a kind of glory to be able to become such a big official."
Just as Fann Binn was in a dilemma, Chiang Weiguo, who had been sent to pick him up, suddenly spoke. "I've been driving a car for the Prime Minister for more than twenty years. This is the first time I've seen him so excited. But that's true. No one would be willing to give up on such a good thing. Isn't that so? But the Prime Minister said... that he didn't hold a position in the country, which was his biggest obstacle... Usually, he was not qualified to be the first chief, but if he could obtain the approval of Commander Qin's army, then he would be able to understand these obstacles. That..."
" So, Uncle Chiang wants me to tell Commander Qin. He wants me to ask him to support Uncle Chiang, right? " Fann Binn understood why the driver would say these words. Obviously, Chiang Weiguo couldn't say these words. He had deliberately asked the driver to say these words for him to hear. However, this didn't make Fann Binn unhappy. After all, Chiang Weiguo was a human. It was completely understandable that he would be selfish and have desires.
The driver coughed twice and did not say anything. The tacit agreement naturally meant that he was certain. Fann Binn also did not continue to ask. He really didn't know what to do. Chiang Weiguo had asked him to do it. Obviously, it wasn't that easy.
It was true that Qin Zhentian had defeated Hu Guolie's plot together with him. He had also taken the initiative to cancel his plan to deal with him. However, this didn't mean that Qin Zhentian found Fann Binn pleasing to the eye. Therefore, Fann Binn had told Qin Zhentian about this matter. He was afraid that it might not be possible, let alone saying it in such a way. Qin Zhentian would become even more dissatisfied, and he would never support Chiang Weiguo. That would be the worst-case scenario...
"Squeak..." Just as Fann Binn was thinking with complex thoughts, the sound of a rapid braking sound was heard. He crashed into the front seat with the inertia and fell back to the back seat with the counterforce.
Although the impact did not cause much damage to Fann Binn, he was still shocked.
Fann Binn said to the driver, "Master, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
The driver held the steering wheel tightly with his hands trembling. He turned his head, full of anxiety, but gradually, he became angrier and angrier. "I, I almost bumped into someone just now. Someone suddenly appeared on the road at the edge of Central South Sea. I thought I couldn't dodge in time... This damn pedestrian, I have to scold him properly! Mr. Fann, wait a moment, I must teach him a good lesson. How can he walk like this? What a ghost!"
Before Fann Binn could say anything, the driver angrily unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door. After getting out of the car, he blamed ___ without saying a word. "How did you walk? Didn't you see the car? If you were killed by one hit, it would be harming yourself! This is the Central South Sea, how did you get in here? Do you know that sneaking in here is against the law? Guards, where are the guards? Hurry up and take these two guys away!!"
Fann Binn, who was sitting in the backseat, came to the car door and looked through the window. Soon, he saw an old man and a young man kneeling on the ground on the right side of the car. The two of them were kowtowing nonstop. It seemed like they had no intention of leaving. Fann Binn could already tell from the driver's words that these two people were probably the ones who secretly ran into the Central South Sea to seek revenge. They treated this car as an official's car and took the initiative to stop it with their bodies.
Enemies, this was the general term of the H Country for those who had been wronged and wanted to come to the capital to seek justice. In ancient times, people who cried out for injustice were also called to the capital to file a complaint against the Imperial Court. Usually, they were poor people who had no way out.
However, the country had specially set up an appeal organization to allow those who cried out for injustice to come to the capital to have a place where they could seek justice for them. However, the Central South Sea was not within the scope of justice. Furthermore, the Central South Sea clearly prohibited anyone who complained. In such a sensitive area, this group of people who wanted to seek justice secretly came in and intercepted the vehicles. Undoubtedly, this was considered an illegal act.
Of course, this was because this was the outer region of the Central South Sea. It was a tourist attraction that was open to the public, so the guards were relatively loose. This old man and young man might have followed the tour group into this place, but it was impossible for them to take another step in. The interior of Central South Sea was the office and living quarters of the Central Agency, and it was very heavily guarded. It would not be like here.
"Sir... We have a grievance. We have a grievance and want to see the leader! Please let us see the leader. We have traveled a long way to come to the capital, it's so bitter!!" The black and skinny old man in simple clothes shouted loudly and cried, "We have our grievances, we have our grievances!!"
Indeed, as Fann Binn had expected, these two old and young people were indeed people who cried out for injustice. However, it was a pity that he was not a leader, nor was he a high-ranking official. Hence, it was obvious that they had stopped the wrong car.
At this time, Chiang Weiguo's driver said with some dissatisfaction, "I say, are you guys done yet? Can you see the big shots sitting in the car? Let me tell you, the country has a special institution to seek justice. Why don't you go there? What kind of place is Central South Sea? If you keep shouting and yelling, the guards won't just chase you away after catching you. It's very likely that they will put you in jail for unlawful accusations! At that time, you won't be able to cry even if you want to. Hurry up and get out of the way!"
Perhaps the driver's words had frightened the pair of old and young people, so they no longer dared to make any noise. However, they still knelt before the car and did not back down, shivering. The driver was so angry that he was about to call someone to chase them away.
This was the west side of Central South Sea, and it was quite far from the sentry post. The surroundings were also relatively remote. It was probably because of this that the old and young chose to secretly come here to intercept the vehicles. They wanted to buy more time for themselves. From the looks of it, they weren't brainless people either.
The window slowly rolled down. Fann Binn looked at the old and young pair on the ground carefully. Only then did he realize that the ragged, unkempt child was actually a girl. It had been a long time since the girl had taken a shower. In short, her entire body was dirty. Even her face was covered in flowers.
However, when Fann Binn saw the innocent and innocent black pupils of the little girl... For some reason, the pity in the deepest part of his heart was deeply moved. Perhaps, no matter how wronged these people were, Fann Binn wouldn't want to get involved. But this little girl's appearance was really too pitiful. She had drifted to the capital at such a young age to complain about her wrongdoings. No matter what, Fann Binn's conscience was touched.
He was not a saint. This society was in a period of transition, and it was impossible for it to be absolutely fair. The injustice was happening almost every day in H Country, but Fann Binn could not care less. He didn't have the right and ability to care about so many things.
Now that he had bumped into this pair of old and young people, he decided to help them if he could. After all, this was a pure little girl who was close to seven or eight years old. Fann Binn really did not want the illness and dissatisfaction of society to be deeply imprinted in the young child's heart.
"Master, don't call me yet. I'll ask them." Fann Binn opened the car door and walked out of the car. Facing the old and young pair who were still kneeling on the ground, he half-squatted. He said to the old man in his sixties, "Old man, don't be nervous. I'm not a high-ranking official. I'm not a leader either, but I see that you and your granddaughter have a difficult life and you still want to complain. There must be a huge grievance, if this is true, the old man said. I can tell my superiors, but whether or not I can deal with it... I can't say for sure."
After hearing what Fann Binn said, and seeing how young Fann Binn was, the old man was obviously disappointed. At this moment, the little girl beside him lightly pulled on the old man's sleeve. She said weakly, "Grandfather... Is he the official we're looking for... I, I want to go home..."
"Good girl, wait for us to tell the leader about the injustice, then we can go back." The old man turned his head and gently touched the little girl's hair. When he turned his head, his eyes were filled with tears. He choked and said, "Thank you, sir. Although I don't have much culture, I know people who can get in a car here. It must be a senior official big leader. "
"The reason why I secretly sneaked into the crowd to guard this place is because I felt wronged. There was a huge grudge! I really had no choice but to do this. I had no choice but to do so. If you want to arrest me or go to jail, then let me go. I have my granddaughter because there is no one at home. I really have no choice but to bring her along. She is not wrong, she is still a child... "
