Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person (I Wanted To Be A Good Person Once) - Chapter 313

  Chapter 313 230. What is the way to slap the face! (7000 words)

ten minutes later.

  In the fast-moving car, Fang Ze sat in the back seat, casually watching the light snow gradually drifting outside the window, and then whispered to Hei Yu, “How about Heweidao?”

  As the chief housekeeper of the family, Hei Yu can be said to be in charge of both the inside and the outside. So when she heard Fang Ze’s question, she pondered for a while, and then replied, “Back to the young master. Since He Weidao confirmed the list of the new parliament after the meeting yesterday, he has gone against his previous style of more than ten years. It’s become much louder.”

   “Not only moved from the small farmyard on the outskirts of the state capital to the luxurious manor of the state capital, but also attended various activities with a high profile and inspected some important departments.”

“At the gate of his manor, there have been no interruptions in the past two days. Even if it is late at night, even if he is not at home, there is a long queue waiting. It is said that they are all senior officials of the civilian faction in Xida State. Gifts came to thank and congratulate.”

   “However, most of these people can’t see He Weidao’s face, they can only see his housekeeper or students, but all the gifts are accepted as ordered.”

After listening to Hei Yu’s narration, Fang Ze didn’t have any expression on his face, and then he watched the snow that was falling more and more outside the window, and slowly commented, “It seems that once you succeed, the mentality of an old fox like He Weidao It’s changed too.”

  Fang Ze said this is not without reason. Although the intelligence network of the Si family has not been fully deployed, some basic information can still be obtained: Ever since Bai Zhi’s mother and elder brother disappeared unexpectedly, and Mr. Bai made a big fuss in the Eastern Jurisdiction, He Weidao has been going deep and simple. .

   The external statement is that he is responsible for this incident. But in fact, according to the information that Fang Ze has now: he probably did this to appease old man Bai and trick old man Bai into being his trump card.

  However, what is Tao has been in-depth and simple for more than ten years. In the past ten years, he has not stepped into the state capital, nor has he participated in any meeting as speaker. He has been working as an old farmer in the outskirts of the state capital.

  Of course Fang Ze felt that it was a face-saving project: Although He Weidao had never participated in the parliament, every decision of the parliament still required his nod before it could be implemented. Although he has never entered the state capital, all departments of the state capital are within his sphere of influence.

  He does not enter the state capital, and concentrating on farming is more like a fig leaf to cover up his long-standing plan.

   Now, because the plan was achieved, he didn’t even need that layer of fig leaf, and directly “landed in West Dazhou”.

   Such a change, how could it not mean that he was gone.

  Thinking of this, Fang Ze added a little more confidence to tonight’s plan: he is not afraid that his opponent is smart, but he is afraid that his opponent will not fly.

  As long as the opponent is floating, it is easy to make mistakes. In this way, Fang Ze’s plan can be implemented more easily.

  Of course, although Fang Ze has gained a lot of confidence, he has not ruled out the possibility that this is probably He Weidao’s deliberate act.

  So, on the next road, Fang Ze learned more about He Weidao’s itinerary and practices for the past two days. It wasn’t until Hei Yu finished speaking that the convoy slowly drove to the vicinity of Heweidao Manor.

  Because it is winter now, even though it is still early, the sky is already dark. One kilometer away from Heweidao Manor, the convoy stopped moving: the whole street was full of luxury cars, looking forward along the street, at a glance, there were hundreds of cars in the dark The taillights were all on like the scarlet eyes of a beast.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m worried about arousing He Weidao’s resentment. Even though these hundreds of luxury cars are densely crowded on this street, and even if hundreds of taillights are on, none of them honk their horns. It is to add a depression to this dark night.

   Seeing that the car couldn’t move anymore, Fang Ze looked at the situation outside, and finally said to Hei Yu, “Let’s go. Walk there.” Then he got out of the car in the snow.

   Seeing this, Hei Yu quickly picked up a black umbrella and ran out of the car to support Fang Ze.

  At this moment, outside, there were obviously many people who had the same idea as Fang Ze. When he got out of the car, people in the front and rear cars also got out of the car. Fang Ze looked over, and after a little scrutiny, he found that it was a member of the parliament he had seen before or some powerful officials of some important departments.

  When Fang Ze saw them, they also saw Fang Ze. Even though the night was dark, Fang Ze still saw a trace of surprise from their eyes, followed by a trace of deep thought, and finally turned into gloating.

The people who can reach this position are all old fritters, so although Fang Ze, a great nobleman, came to “please” He Weidao after his failure, it was a bit pleasant to hear, but they still controlled their emotions very well, and moved toward Fang Ze. Gentle nod.

  If it wasn’t for Fang Ze’s empty eyes ignoring the night and distance, he would probably have been fooled by them.

   In this way, he came to the gate of He Weidao’s manor. At this time, the outside of the manor was already full of people, and a person who looked like a housekeeper was at the door asking for the names and positions of the people who came to visit.

Fang Ze glanced at the waiting line, and winked at Hei Yu, Hei Yu clearly handed the black umbrella to the guards on the side, asking them to continue to hold the umbrella for Fang Ze, and then walked forward quickly I went to talk to the housekeeper a few times, and showed He Weidao’s reply letter.

  The butler read the reply, looked up at Fang Ze, and nodded. Afterwards, he took the initiative to walk to Fang Ze with Hei Yu, and gave Fang Ze a slight salute, “Master Fang Ze, the speaker has already ordered you to go in if you come. I will lead you in now.”

  The housekeeper was obviously a master, his voice was obviously not loud, but it was extraordinarily clear on this dark snowy night.

  So, upon hearing his words, all the visiting people around couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Fang Ze.

  As the most famous figure in the state capital recently, Fang Ze’s name, strength and background are all things that everyone must know and memorize.

So, of course, everyone knows that the aristocratic faction represented by Fang Ze is almost extinct now, and the new generation is not accepted. It even suffered a crushing defeat in the parliament two days ago, and completely withdrew from the core of power in West Dazhou. , titled large awakened family that’s all.

  So seeing Fang Ze actually came to see He Weidao, all the people present were secretly exchanging glances.

  Fang Ze ignored this insult-like reporting method and the gloating eyes of everyone. He even “enjoyed it”: The more arrogant the people around He Weidao behaved, the more it meant that He Weidao’s current mentality might be out of order.

   Just like that, Fang Ze went to the manor under the eyes of everyone watching.

   Arriving inside the manor, Fang Ze followed the butler to the side hall. Although He Weidao allowed Fang Ze to go in directly when he arrived, it didn’t mean he could see him anytime. So Fang Ze sat on the chair in the side hall, waiting patiently for He Weidao to summon him after he finished handling the matter in hand.

   After the butler finished serving the tea and left, Hei Yu looked at the back of the butler, and said to Fang Ze angrily, “Young master, that person is obvious.”

  Fang Ze raised his right index finger to his lips, then shook his head slightly, motioning for her to keep silent.

  It was only then that Hei Yu remembered that she was in He Wei Dao’s territory now, and it was really inconvenient to say some things, so she could only grit her teeth resentfully, and stopped talking.

  Although He Weidao is a bit flustered now, he still abides by the basic etiquette. Fang Ze only waited in the side hall for five minutes, and another housekeeper came to inform Fang Ze that he could go and meet He Weidao.

  Fang Ze signaled Hei Yu to wait in the side hall, then followed the housekeeper through the luxurious corridor to He Weidao’s study.

When they reached the door of the study room, the butler first knocked on the door lightly, and then opened the door after getting He Weidao’s approval, and said respectfully to He Weidao in the room, “Master Speaker, Patriarch Fang Ze is here. “

  He Weidao’s deep “hmm” sounded in the room. The butler stepped aside and gestured towards Fang Ze. Only then did Fang Ze step into He Weidao’s study.

   Entering the study, Fang Ze saw He Weidao standing behind the desk, holding a huge brush, writing, and standing next to him was a person Fang Ze knew very well: Jiang Cheng. He was standing beside He Weidao, with his head lowered, and he was studying ink for He Weidao attentively.

  This man who used to be a municipal councilor but was still so proud of the sky is now a state executive councilor, but he is as low as dust.

At a certain moment, Fang Ze even felt that he was not a person, but a “trophy”, a trophy that He Weidao showed off to everyone: Look, what about the Patriarch of one of the three nobles in Xida State, isn’t he also my servant boy? ?

Fang Ze’s entry didn’t stop He Weidao from writing. He raised the pen boldly and wrote down the last word “water” in [Heart Like Still Water]. Then he put down the brush in his hand with a smile on his face, and looked at Fang Ze. , said two words lightly, “Here we come.”

  Fang Ze nodded, then bowed slightly towards He Weidao, “Speaker.”

  He Weidao nodded, then he motioned to Jiang Cheng, and said, “Go down and rest first. I’ll talk to Patriarch Fang Ze.”

   “Yes.” Jiang Cheng bowed respectfully, then put down the priceless ink ingot in his hand, and walked out.

  Because Fang Ze was standing at the door, Jiang Cheng went out, and the two happened to be facing each other. Looking at Jiang Cheng’s appearance, Fang Ze found that he seemed to not recognize Jiang Cheng.

  Maybe because of the great changes, Jiang Cheng’s temperament is no longer frivolous, but has become extremely calm. His whole face is expressionless, and his pupils are so dark that they seem to absorb all the light. But facing Fang Ze, the former life and death enemy, his expression didn’t even change at all.

  Watching him leave, the door closed, and He Weidao’s voice sounded in Fang Ze’s ear, “Sit down.”

  Fang Ze came back to his senses, He Weidao had come to the sofa and sat down, pointing to the sofa opposite him to signal Fang Ze to sit down too.

  Fang Ze nodded, walked over, sat down, and said straight to the point, “Now the entire eastern jurisdiction is in chaos, but the speaker seems to be very leisurely.”

He Weidao smiled when he heard Fang Ze’s words, and then said in a slow and deep voice, “As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Only consistent policies can give people a sense of security and trust. Governing a country The most taboo thing is to change policies blindly without preparation when encountering problems. This will only waste people and money, and cause disasters.”

Hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze nodded first, then shook his head, “The speaker’s words are not problematic, but they are only suitable for peaceful times. Now Xida State is facing war, and the entire northwest border is suffering from Tuoye State. threaten.”

   “As for the neighboring Yunlan Prefecture, half of the prefecture has fallen and needs support.”

   “At this time, do we need to mobilize as soon as possible and respond quickly?”

  He Weidao smiled when he heard the words, “Yunlan State has the Yunlan State Council to deal with it. Tang State also supports it. We don’t need to worry about it in Xida State.”

   “As for the rebellious Toye state, aren’t the two demigods in their state already dead and one seriously injured? There is no spare power to attack Xida state in a short time.”

   “So, we don’t need to worry too much. We must respond to all changes with the same.”

  Hearing He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze frowned slightly, and asked, “Now the opponent’s foothold is unstable, and he has just suffered a big defeat. Why don’t we expel the enemy all at once?”

  He Weidao smiled faintly, and retorted, “The other party has been planning to come down for more than ten years, but it’s not that their foothold is unstable.”

   “As for the big defeat, it is true. But our state is not without damage.”

   “Xida Prefecture lost two Zhenzhou demigods. The Jiang family, one of the three nobles, was almost wiped out, and the Bai family scattered and lived in seclusion without asking about government affairs. The power of the state was greatly reduced by more than half.”

   “Actually, we are even more empty than Toye State.”

   “So at this time, we can’t rush forward, but we must sort out our internal affairs first, so as to better deal with external threats.”

   “To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside, that’s all.”

  Listening to He Weidao’s words, Fang Ze looked at him seriously, just like that.

   Just after he felt a little confused about what is the Tao, Fang Ze suddenly said, “Speaker, you must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. Do you only want to make things safe inside, or do you not want to fight against the outside world?”

He probably didn’t expect Fang Ze to dare to say such a thing, and the smile on He Weidao’s face gradually disappeared. He looked at Fang Ze and said slowly, “Mr. Fang Ze, are you questioning my loyalty to the Federation?” ?”

  He Weidao himself is a peerless master, and he has been in a high position in Xida Prefecture for more than ten years. This time he put on a straight face, and suddenly he was not angry, and his aura swept towards Fang Ze like a substance.

   To be honest, this is the first time Fang Ze has felt such a powerful momentum since he got the talent of [King]. However, He Weidao has not become a demigod after all, and his personality is lower than that of Fang Ze, so Fang Ze has not been affected by the [King] talent.

  So he was in the vortex of momentum, looking at He Weidao fearlessly, and then said **** for tat, “Indeed. After I know some things, I am very suspicious of your loyalty, Speaker.”

  He Weidao was not fooled by Fang Ze’s words. He looked at Fang Ze and asked directly, “What’s the matter?”

   Seeing this, Fang Ze looked into He Weidao’s eyes and said slowly, “Speaker, do you know Councilor Yu Wenzheng?”

Maybe He Weidao was really too high-spirited these days and lacked the most basic vigilance; or maybe he really never thought that he would hear this name again in this life, so at that moment, He Weidao’s heart trembled , The pupils shrank slightly.

  However, he quickly adjusted his mood, and after pretending to meditate for a few seconds, he said slowly, “Yu Wenzheng? I seem to have an impression. A congressman from Xida State more than ten years ago?”

  Fang Ze nodded, and then continued to ask, “Then do you know Executive Councilor Xue Sheng?”

  If the first name was a coincidence, then the appearance of the second name gave He Weidao a sense of foreboding.

  His heart was turbulent, but his face remained calm, “I know. He was also an executive member of Cedar State more than ten years ago.

When asking questions, Fang Ze had been staring at He Weidao closely, so he also keenly captured He Weidao’s emotional changes: because he didn’t even notice He Weidao, his aura was in Fang Ze’s question. After giving out two names, I started to feel a little bit unsteady.

  Knowing that the high probability of Dahei Jialuo’s analysis is true, Fang Ze was determined, and he continued, “Then you should also know Sun Lou, Cheng Hongde, Di Xiang, Ji Wu, Shao Zhou.”

  Fang Ze reported one person after another who was silenced because of the gorse incident.

  As the names were announced one after another, the heart of He Weidao kept sinking. Because he knew that things were troublesome, the most shady experience he was unwilling to mention in his life was being dug out bit by bit by the people in front of him, and exposed to the world.

   Once this incident is exposed, it will not only destroy his reputation for the rest of his life, but also ruin the great cause he is about to accomplish.

  To tell the truth, at that moment, He Weidao even had waves of killing intent for Fang Ze in his heart. Fortunately, his reason controlled him so that he didn’t show it.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but maybe the four demigods have been calculated in one breath in the past two days, and the achievements of the three nobles have already made him feel impetuous, or maybe this past event that has been hidden for more than ten years is too affecting In his heart, at that moment, he tried everything, but he couldn’t calm down.

  So, when Fang Ze read the names of those people at first, He Weidao still answered whether he knew or not, but gradually he just listened quietly and stopped answering.

   Until Fang Ze finished memorizing the list of all the parties involved, He Weidao had completely become the eye of the storm, giving people an extremely depressing and crazy feeling.

  However, Fang Ze, who has [Semi-God Prison] and [Semi-Mysterious Realm], doesn’t care about the threat of Tao at all.

Instead, he reminded softly, “Speaker, in the two days before I came to see you, I have written dozens of letters and sent them out of the state capital. If I can’t leave intact, then these letters will be destroyed by Chaofanbao The tool will be sent to the remaining nine noble families in the Eastern Jurisdiction. It will also be sent to the Federation, the state councils and the inspectors of the military bases.”

  He Weidao, who was on the verge of breaking out, finally calmed down after hearing Fang Ze’s words.

  He also knew that he lost his composure just now and had exposed a lot of things, so he turned his head around, looking for a remedy.

   After a while, he looked at Fang Ze and said seriously, “I’m sorry, I may have scared you. Most of the people you just mentioned were my colleagues back then, so I lost my composure.”

   After finishing speaking, he said again, “You read their names, did you find something?”

   I have to say that He Weidao is indeed an old fox. If it wasn’t because he was a little drifting during this time, and Fang Ze caught him off guard, Fang Ze might really be fooled by his current acting skills.

  However, now that He Weidao has been exposed, it is impossible for Fang Ze to be deceived.

  So Fang Ze said, “Speaker, you have been exposed before. So, why don’t we be honest?”

  He Weidao looked at Fang Ze, tapped his fingers on the sofa, and replied without revealing, “Exposed? Do you doubt me?”

   After finishing speaking, he asked softly, “Why?”

  He said, “Is someone planting me on you?”

  Fang Ze pondered for a moment, then smiled, and said, “Of course not. It’s just that someone provided some evidence from the past. They just want me to reopen the case.”

  He Weidao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Fang Ze’s words, as if he wanted to distinguish whether Fang Ze was telling the truth or a lie.

   After a while, he said, “Chairman Fang is busy with work, so he probably doesn’t have time?”

  Fang Ze smiled, “Actually, I’m not very busy. After all, the work of executive councilors is very simple. It doesn’t take much energy.”

  Hearing what Fang Ze said, He Weidao knew that Fang Ze had made an offer. So he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then said, “Normally, in order to ensure the independence of each state, the heads of departments in charge of large regions cannot serve in the state assembly.”

  Hearing what He Weidao said, Fang Ze pretended to be surprised and said, “Then Chief Black Shark can’t be our state’s deputy speaker?”

  He Weidao opened his eyes and nodded slowly, “In theory, it is. I will talk to Minister Hei about this issue tonight and listen to his opinion.”

  Fang Ze smiled and said, “The Speaker has worked hard.”

   After finishing speaking, Fang Ze continued, “By the way, Speaker. Normally, the directors of the security bureaus of each state are executive members, but we in Xida State”

  He Weidao, “It’s true that the nomination was not considered thoroughly. If there is a position, the director of Blue Ice will give priority to filling it.”

  Fang Ze smiled, “The speaker is wise.”

   After boasting about what is Tao, Fang Ze continued, “In addition, I still have a few talents I want to recommend to you, Speaker.”

  After more than ten years of nourishing Qi, He Weidao’s temperament has returned to the state of ancient well after the initial gaffe, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Hearing what Fang Ze said, he just took a deep look at Fang Ze and nodded, “Go ahead.”

   Seeing that He Weidao was so cooperative, Fang Ze was not polite, and directly introduced all the masters in his family, and offered to propose a position suitable for them. Afterwards, he mentioned some vassals of the Bai family who were not taken away by the Bai family but stayed in the state capital but were demoted.

  He Weidao listened quietly, neither agreeing nor objecting. It wasn’t until Fang Ze finished speaking that he said slowly, “I will consider arranging them.”

   Seeing this, Fang Ze smiled, and said, “Then I will thank the Speaker for them.”

   Speaking of this, Fang Ze’s goal has basically been achieved. He looked at the time and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”

  Seeing that Fang Ze offered to leave, He Weidao didn’t keep him, so he nodded and let out a “huh” from his nose.

  Fang Ze knew that he was upset, so he didn’t try to tease him. Anyway, today’s goal has been achieved, and that’s enough. So he got up contentedly and walked towards the door of the study. But just as Fang Ze opened the door and was about to go out, he stopped in place again.

  Finding that Fang Ze suddenly stopped leaving, He Weidao couldn’t help turning his head to look over. Then he heard Fang Ze say, “Speaker, besides talking about those official affairs, I also have a personal request.”

  He Weidao looked at him indifferently, waiting for him to speak.

   Seeing this, Fang Ze said slowly, “I think whether it is the federal government or the state, it should be fair to Mr. Bai’s death.”

  He Weidao was silent for a while after hearing Fang Ze’s words, and then nodded slowly.

  Seeing that the last goal of the day was also achieved, Fang Ze finally left He Weidao’s study in a relaxed mood.

  After Fang Ze left, He Weidao’s entire study suddenly fell into silence. He Weidao just sat there, his whole body was like an abyss, like a prison, which made people feel extremely terrifying.

   After a while, the corner of the study moved slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and said softly, “Master, do you need your subordinates to kill him?”

  He Weidao was silent for a while when he heard what the figure said, shook his head, and said, “No need. Killing him will fall into his trick.”

   When the figure heard it, he was a little surprised and said, “His trick?”

  He Weidao gave an expressionless “hmm” and analyzed,

   “When he was talking today, he lied twice.”

   “One time was when he said he had evidence. That time he covered it up so well that it was almost invisible.”

   “Another time, when he said, ‘he made arrangements in advance, and once he dies, he will send letters to the high-level officials of the entire region on a regular basis’. This time, he has very obvious signs of lying.”

   “This shows that the former is what he wants me to believe. The latter is what he wants me to see through.”

   “So, he actually has no evidence in his hand, and he didn’t make arrangements in advance. Just wait until I want to kill him, and then I will be fully charged.”

  Hearing what He Weidao said, the figure was stunned for a moment, and then asked, “Wait until you kill him? Doesn’t he want to use death to realize his plan?”

  Hearing this, He Weidao shook his head, and said with deep eyes, “No, he won’t die, he has the means to save his life.”

  He Weidao said, “He knows my strength and wants me to kill him, but he doesn’t have the will to die, which shows that he is very confident that he can escape from the hands of a master.”

   “Although I don’t know why he is so confident, but I have made enough mistakes today, and I don’t want to gamble again.”

  The figure pondered for a while, and said, “Then, my lord, are we going to do what he wants?”

  He Weidao leaned on the sofa and said indifferently, “Since he wants it, then give it to him.”

   “A deputy speaker, an executive member and a few ordinary members. There is nothing wrong with it.”

   “The wheel of history will not stop because of anyone. It will be a matter of time before the aristocracy is replaced by us ordinary humans.”

  Human Ying said a little bit unwillingly, “But, won’t you be controlled by him like this? He can completely blackmail you with this matter in the future.”

  He Weidao smiled when he heard the figure’s words. At this moment, he returned to his state of strategizing, “That’s good. This is what I wish for.”

  Hearing He Weidao’s words, the figure was stunned for a moment, and almost didn’t understand what He Weidao meant.

   Want it?

  Why would it be desirable for my master to be “controlled”?
