Thinking like this, Qiu Tu nodded towards Shen Lingshuang, and then said gently, "Okay, I understand."
"Just tell Secretary Han that I will be waiting for the Speaker at the Investigation Bureau to reassure him."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang seemed to be relieved and nodded quickly "Yeah", and then retracted her cute little head.
After Shen Lingshuang retracted, Liu Xiongyuan took a puff of cigarette, a smile appeared on his face like an old tree, and then bared his yellow teeth and said, "This girl is quite interesting."
"I heard that she made the Speaker so angry that she almost died two days ago."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "This is all because of the generosity of the Speaker. I don't care about a little girl like her."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground like an old man in the village, then lowered his head and stamped it out with his foot, "You only met the Speaker a few times, but I didn't expect you to understand the Speaker's thoughts so thoroughly."
"You are only in your 20s, you are really a formidable person."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's pointed words, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat.
Good guy, when chatting with these old foxes, you really need to pay close attention to communication. Because there are pitfalls everywhere!
fortunately
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up and glanced at Liu Xiongyuan's "camp cloud", and there was no deviation.
Therefore, this should be just a habitual temptation of the old fox.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu's mind was spinning.
For a moment, he smiled, and then he followed Liu Xiongyuan's example, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out, and said, "Uncle Liu is joking, isn't it just one thing after another?"
"I'm just a pretty outstanding junior, and there will be more juniors who are better than me in the future."
"I can't be in my 20s forever, but there will always be outstanding 20-year-olds."
"Isn't this how we humans can develop better and better and gradually dominate the world by passing it on from generation to generation?"
Qiu Tu cleverly transformed his "personal" evaluation into the "macro" change of human development.
It eliminated the "opposition" element in the sentence just now, and cleverly turned the negative attitude in the sentence into a positive one.
So, when Liu Xiongyuan heard this, he raised his head, smiled, patted Qiu Tu's arm, and said, "I didn't expect you to have such awareness."
After saying that, he said, "Okay, don't talk to me anymore, the old man, let's go and prepare to meet the Speaker."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief, and then softly said "hmm".
Huang Shangzong was obviously really anxious. Only ten minutes after Secretary Han called, he arrived at the Dongcheng City Investigation Bureau.
After asking about the whereabouts of Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan, he took Secretary Han and his entourage directly to the 16th floor.
Arriving at the conference room on the 16th floor, Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan were sitting opposite each other, exchanging information in a low voice.
Hearing the footsteps, the two of them looked back and saw that it was Huang Shangzong. Qiu Tu quickly stood up and greeted, "Speaker."
As for Liu Xiongyuan, he was much lazier. He stood up slowly, then nodded slightly, "Speaker~"
Upon hearing the greetings from the two of them, Huang Shangzong at the door stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly.
He strode into the conference room, his cashmere coat bringing a hint of winter chill.
When he arrived at the main seat of the conference room, Secretary Han stood behind him and untied the coat outside his uniform. His huge body, tightly wrapped by the speaker's uniform, was exposed in the office.
Taking off his coat, he sat down heavily on the chair. Perhaps because he hadn't sat on a wooden or fabric chair for a long time, Huang Shangzong moved his buttocks and showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing Huang Shangzong sit down, Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan also sat down.
After the two people sat down, Huang Shangzongkuan glanced at the two men majestically, and then slowly said, "Two Speakers, in addition to inspecting the Dongcheng City Investigation Department, I have another purpose here.
, that is the "Purge Plan"."
Having said this, he paused and asked, "How is the "Purge Plan" going now?"
Maybe Rao Lao's matter was really urgent, so Huang Shangzong didn't give the two of them a chance to prevaricate.
Instead, he said directly, "As far as I know, all the middle-level anti-government armed coalition forces that were broken up this time, including more than 40 teams, totaling hundreds of people, have been captured?"
"And the remnants of the anti-government armed forces also came one after another, arresting more than 3,000 people?"
Liu Xiongyuan must have really felt that he had no hope of promotion, so he spoke and acted more unscrupulously.
He said with a smile, "Chairman Huang's intelligence is pretty good. You know every move of Chairman Qiu and I."
Huang Shangzong's expression froze.
Fortunately, Liu Xiongyuan just stabbed him a few times out of habit, so after he finished stabbing him, he didn't continue.
Instead, he raised his head towards Qiu Tuyi and said, "Speaker Qiu, you are responsible for this matter. I am only assisting, so you should report to the Speaker."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu nodded, then looked at Huang Shangzong and reported, "Speaker, my "purge operation" has almost been completed this time."
"We captured a total of three general-level leaders of the anti-government armed forces, 36 school officers, 83 captains, hundreds of other lieutenants and lieutenants, and more than 3,600 ordinary soldiers."
"It can be said that we have almost wiped out all the remnants of the anti-government armed forces wandering in Dongye Prefecture."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong showed a satisfied expression on his broad face.
He gave a deep "hmm" and then said, "In this case, then you have someone write a record and report and submit it to the parliament."
Huang Shangzong is a man who works openly and honestly. He said bluntly, "This is one of the most important political achievements since the establishment of our Dongye Prefecture."
"In two days, I'm going to the shelter to report to Speaker Rao, so I can talk about this."
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Qiu Tu smiled, and then said calmly, "Speaker, please don't worry."
"Please pay attention to my wording: 'almost completed' and 'almost caught in one fell swoop'."
"The words I use are 'almost', which actually means that this task has not been completed yet."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's two thick eyebrows lying on his forehead slowly wrinkled.
His eyes fell on Qiu Tu's face, as if he wanted to see whether Qiu Tu was delaying on purpose or if he really hadn't finished it yet.
Qiu Tu didn't seem to feel Huang Shangzong's gaze, and just looked at him calmly.
Huang Shangzong was silent for a full two seconds, and then he said, "What work have you not finished yet?"
After hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Qiu Tu said with a serious face, "Although we have wiped out all the middle-level members of the anti-government coalition, there are still hundreds or even more than a thousand remnant soldiers wandering around Dongye 16 City."
"We need to go further to arrest him."
"Furthermore, because I went to arrest "Red Hair" two days ago, I didn't have time to interrogate these arrested middle- and high-level people."
"Their confession records are not complete."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu thought of the violently fluctuating "order line" on "Scarface", and with a thought in his heart, he dug a hole.
"Although their purpose of disrupting Dongye Prefecture, we all know: it is to counter your infiltration plan."
"But no one knows if they have any other conspiracies."
"I think we still need to be more cautious."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong showed a trace of irritation on his face. He said, "How long will it take for you?"
Seeing that Huang Shangzong was indeed a little anxious, Qiu Tu sat down on Diaoyutai even more firmly.
He smiled and said, "Speaker, I can't say for sure."
"You know, no one knows how long it will take to get the results of an interrogation. It could be an hour, or it could be a month."
"And I've just been out catching criminals for four days, so I need to take a rest first."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the veins on Huang Shangzong's forehead jumped.
Although his political ability is relatively average, he still has basic political qualities.
Qiu Tu's words were obviously not a serious answer, but he was waiting for a price, making it clear that the car and the horse were in good hands.
If he gives him enough benefits, he will speed up the progress and even hand over the prisoner directly to himself.
If he doesn't give enough benefits, he will deliberately delay the time until he can't wait any longer, or until Rao Lao's celebration time has passed.
'This boy! He is really not a good guy! He is so insidious, cunning and ruthless!'
Although he scolded Qiu Tu in his heart, Huang Shangzong had no other choice now.
Power is only accountable to its source.
Only Sanctuary can decide on the candidate for deputy speaker. As speaker, even if he is also a senior executive of Sanctuary, he has no decision-making power.
If Qiu Tu is not the deputy speaker now, he can still make a decision if he wants to be promoted to deputy speaker. After all, at this time, as the speaker of Dongye Prefecture, his opinion is still very important.
But now that Qiu Tu is the deputy speaker, his influence is greatly reduced.
Therefore, when Qiu Tu did everything according to the rules and regulations, there was really nothing he could do to Qiu Tu.
With this in mind, Huang Shangzong took a deep look at Qiu Tu, and then said, "Then what kind of support does Chairman Qiu think the state should give you to speed up your action?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qiu Tu looked innocent. He looked at Huang Shangzong and said, "Speaker, you actually asked me to make a request?"
"I have always been a responsible person. I do whatever my boss asks me to do, and I never dare to ask for conditions."
"Pfft." This time, Huang Shangzong didn't speak, and Liu Xiongyuan laughed first.
After laughing, he stood up and said to Huang Shangzong, "Speaker, if there is nothing else, I will continue to interrogate the prisoners. I will try to end the case as soon as possible."
"You continue."
Liu Xiongyuan has been here all the time. Huang Shangzong and Qiu Tu really didn't have an easy time negotiating terms, so after hearing this, Huang Shangzong didn't pay attention. He waved his hand directly and said nonchalantly, "Go, go. Thank you, Chairman Liu, for your hard work."
After Liu Xiongyuan left, the solemn door of the conference room slowly closed, leaving only Huang Shangzong and Qiu Tu.
Huang Shangzong looked at Qiu Tu, and then said with a heavy gaze, "Qiu Tu, there is no one else now."
"Tell me how you need the state's support so that the case can be settled as soon as possible."
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Qiu Tu coughed, and then said, "Speaker, sometimes this is not a matter of support or not."
"You also know that after I become the deputy speaker, my scope of authority will only be "Longyue City"."
"Besides the work that I usually need to be responsible for, the "Purge Plan" is my only additional task."
"Of course I hope to complete this task beautifully without leaving a single flaw."
"After all, apart from this mission, I have no other political achievements to accomplish."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's eyes darkened slightly, and he roughly understood Qiu Tu's thoughts: Qiu Tu's condition was to adjust his scope of authority and increase his authority.
Although this is a bit loud - after all, for the deputy speaker of a state, every area of ​​responsibility is a huge power.
However, judging from Qiu Tu's current authority, which can only have influence in one city, it is reasonable for him to make such a request.
Thinking this, Huang Shangzong's expression obviously softened a lot.
He leaned on the chair and said with a deep expression, "President Qiu, I can understand your mood." "However, you are wrong about one thing."
"For a young and promising deputy speaker like you, how could the parliament only let you be in charge of "Long Yue City"?"
"This is too humiliating."
"Exactly. I heard you just say that the finishing work of this "clearance operation" requires a lot of energy and time."
Speaking of this, Huang Shangzong paused and said, "So I plan to ask several departments to cooperate with your work."
"Which department do you think can cooperate with your work and help you finish the work faster?"
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Qiu Tu smiled.
He followed the draft he had thought up before meeting Huang Shangzong and said, "This actually depends on the support of the Speaker."
"If the speaker's support is not strong enough and the Supervision Department is handed over to me, I probably won't be able to finish it quickly."
"If the Speaker's support is strong enough and with the help of the Tribunal, I can end this mission quickly."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Qiu Tu with a pair of tiger eyes, and he was suppressed by waves of heavy aura.
But Qiu Tu is now also a Cataclysm at the peak of the fourth level. He is invincible at the same level, but he really doesn't feel much about Huang Shangzong's momentum.
So he looked at Huang Shangzong naturally.
Seeing Qiu Tu's state, Huang Shangzong finally remembered that Qiu Tu was a peak expert who killed the fourth-level evil god with one sword. His strength was the same as his own at the fourth-level peak. His momentum had no effect at all.
So he retracted his aura angrily, then sat in the main seat and meditated quietly.
Qiu Tu's meaning is obvious: he wants the Supervision Department and the Tribunal.
In fact, these two departments are not particularly strong.
Unless there is strong support from above, the functions of these two departments will be extremely limited.
Especially in the hands of a deputy speaker like Qiu Tu, the effect it can play is even smaller.
However, don't forget that Qiu Tu is a person who is good at creating miracles and is good at growing things from small to big.
Although these two departments are a bit weak, they are very sensitive.
Let’s not talk about the “Tribunal” which holds judicial power and trial power, let’s talk about the “Supervision Department”.
The Ministry of Supervision has the power to supervise officials at all levels, as well as to investigate, appoint and remove officials.
This power can be big or small. If it is small, it is not easy to speak to anyone. If it is big, the experience and lessons of the "state governors" during the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually became separatist warlords are still vivid in our minds.
It would be better if Qiu Tu took control of the local supervisory power, and then gradually took control of the military power, but if he didn't suppress it, Huang Shangzong would really worry that Qiu Tu would develop into an uncontrollable monster.
At that time, I will become a sinner in the eighth shelter.
Thinking like this, Huang Shangzong wanted to refuse.
As a result, at this moment, Qiu Tu spoke again, "Speaker, if you feel that these two departments are a little too difficult for you."
"Actually, you can give me a department to assist, and then give me temporary responsibility for "Wuhai City"."
Qiu Tu opened his eyes and lied, "I caught "Red Hair" in "Wuhai City". With the cooperation of "Wuhai City", I believe this operation can be completed faster."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's eyes lit up slightly.
One department + Wuhai City?
It’s not that this cannot be considered.
As long as the "Supervision Department" is not given to Qiu Tu and Qiu Tu cannot interfere in personnel affairs, Huang Shangzong feels that it is actually acceptable at this time.
Thinking this, a smile appeared on his broad face.
He looked at Qiu Tu and finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face, "In that case, I will send a document to Chairman Qiu when I go back soon and let Chairman Qiu be responsible for the work related to the Tribunal and Wuhai City."
"Chairman Qiu, please wrap up this "purge operation" as soon as possible. Don't let me down."
When Qiu Tu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
If there were any psychologists here in the past life, they would know that what Qiu Tu used in the negotiation just now was the famous psychological effect "Concession Effect".
In negotiations, first make a big request to the other party, and then give in and change it to a small request; then this small request will be easily accepted by the other party.
In fact, what Qiu Tu was eyeing from the beginning was the control of "Wuhai City".
What are the good things about the supervision department?
Indeed, as long as you are strong enough, you can influence appointments and dismissals, and if you have military power, you can even control a state.
But this is too conspicuous, and it can easily attract the attention of many people in the early stage.
In comparison, controlling a city is a pleasure.
Because of his high position and great power, Qiu Tu was completely a native emperor in that city.
Coupled with the control of the "Wu Hai Area", "Wu Hai City" will be directly and completely under the control of Qiu Tu like "New Territories City" and "Long Yue City".
There are only 16 cities in Dongye Prefecture, and Qiu Tu now directly controls three, which is close to 1/5, which is enough for him to do a lot of things.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu also quickly promised, "Please rest assured, Speaker, I will definitely not disappoint the Speaker."
Huang Shangzong seemed indeed in a hurry.
Not long after he returned, he communicated with several deputy speakers on the phone and directly adjusted Qiu Tu's scope of responsibility.
Qiu Tu's scope of authority was officially expanded from "Langyue City" to "Wuhai City" and the Tribunal, and he truly became a deputy speaker with real power.
However, after updating his terms of reference, Qiu Tu was not in a hurry to celebrate.
He was still worried about the weird "order line" of "Scarface".
So he planned to continue the surprise interrogation of "Scarface" tonight to find out what secrets "Scarface" was hiding.
Moreover, he is also interested in the "important things" that the disaster zone is looking for in Dongye Prefecture.
What could allow so many soldiers and horses to be gathered in the disaster area and send three generals to cause trouble in Dongye Prefecture?
In the evening of that day, Dongcheng City Investigation Bureau, Interrogation Room 1.
Qiu Tu sat alone where Liu Xiongyuan sat in the morning, quietly watching Guan Xiao interrogate "Scarface".
With Qiu Tu's reminder, Guan Xiao also has a new direction for interrogation, and has been trying to uncover the secrets hidden by "Scarface".
She looked at the scarred face hanging in mid-air with a cold face, and asked,
"Tell me, what is your purpose of disrupting Dongye Prefecture this time?"
"Also, what exactly are the disaster areas looking for in Dongye Prefecture?"
"What does that thing do?"
After hearing Guan Xiao's words, the scarred face with scars all over his body lowered his head, his eyes were as black as ink, and then his bleeding mouth made a sound of "ho ho ho", "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand."
"I've said everything I can say. What else do you want me to say?"
Guan Xiao was obviously not fooled so easily. She was covered in salt water, "Pah!" she whipped Scarface, and then said, "Stop pretending to be crazy!"
"Do you really think we don't know what you're thinking?"
As she spoke, she pushed Scarface's face with a riding crop, and then said viciously, "You betrayed the anti-government armed coalition forces who trusted you!"
"You plotted against them! You even wanted to kill them!"
After hearing Guan Xiao's words, Scarface's eyes visibly flickered for a moment, but then returned to normal, and then he viciously "spit" at Guan Xiao, "Fuck you!"
"You are pouring dirt on me if you have no merit! You are a bunch of lackeys who are licking the ass of the shelter!"
Qiu Tu watched quietly in the supervision room. The reason why he let the people below him do everything he had now was to cultivate the abilities of the people below him and continue to share his worries.
Also because it saves time and effort.
If Guan Xiao is interrogating him below, he can clearly find the direction where Scarface is hiding.
It will be more convenient to ask directly using "Order Space" later.
Even if Guan Xiao interrogated all the information like last time, he could even end the interrogation by asking directly, "Did everything you just said be true?"
However, tonight's "Scarface" is obviously much more determined than last time.
Guan Xiao tried his best, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't let go at all.
He even got desperate and started cursing Guan Xiao's eighteenth generation ancestors, which made Guan Xiao very angry.
However, it is a pity that the more tough he behaves, the more Qiu Tu believes that the secret he hides is huge.
With this in mind, after Qiu Tu patiently watched Guan Xiao's interrogation for an hour, he walked to the door of the interrogation room and knocked on the door.
There were only Qiu Tu and Guan Xiao in Interrogation Room 1 tonight, so when he heard the knock on the door, Guan Xiao immediately stopped the interrogation and came to the door.
Opening the door, this pretty woman's forehead was covered with sweat and her face looked depressed.
She whispered to Qiu Tu, "Speaker, I have let you down."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and patted her arm and said, "What's the point of being disappointed? You've done a great job. You helped me find the direction."
Having said this, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "Okay, go out first, I will interrogate him."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao said "hmm", nodded, and then walked out with her slender legs.
After she left, Qiu Tu walked into the interrogation room.
Seeing Qiu Tu come in, with his hands tied behind his back, the scarred face hanging in the air looked at Qiu Tu ferociously, then he opened his mouth full of blood and looked at Qiu Tu fiercely, "You guys from the shelter
You are a running dog! You will be beaten to death! You will be tortured to extract a confession! You will not die a good death!"
Qiu Tu laughed when he heard Scarface's words.
He walked over and sat down at the interrogation table. He put down his paper and pen and said, "You are a rebel. We don't need to follow any rules when facing you."
"Now, I will ask and you will answer."
"Bah! You're dreaming!" Scarface looked at Qiu Tu fiercely.
Qiu Tu didn't care. He turned around and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit to Dongye Prefecture this time?"
"Don't tell me that you want to disturb Dongye Prefecture."
"I'm asking about you, not the rebels."
Qiu Tu paused and then elaborated on the question again, "If I guess correctly, you should have your own mission, right?"
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Scarface just wanted to "spit" at Qiu Tu a few more times. Anyway, he knew that he could not survive, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
As a result, at this moment, suddenly, he found that his consciousness was a little blurred, his thinking was a little chaotic, and his tongue seemed to be out of his control, and he started to speak on his own!
"You've all fallen into the trap. Ho ho ho"
"I came to Dongye Prefecture this time to complete the blood sacrifice mission of my god "Ye Mu"!"
