Chapter 288 - Lightning Fury (27)
"The secretary is right, I agree with him!" The Governor immediately stated his position. "Set up a task force. That way, we can investigate all the cases more quickly and in greater detail."
"I agree!"
"I also agree to the establishment of a special task force!"
For a moment, all the members of the provincial council nodded their heads.
They had just been fiercely slapped in the face by Zheng Yuanshan. Now, they finally found an opportunity.
The old secretary was still as good as ever. No matter what kind of evidence Zheng Yuanshan had, he would at least take the initiative and bring it to him.
No matter what, the old secretary was still a member of the Wu family!
However, just as the members of the Martial Family's standing committee were secretly rejoicing, they saw Zheng Yuanshan suddenly taking over the position.
"Secretary!"
Zheng Yuanshan suddenly interrupted, "The military is also investigating this case. At this point in time, wouldn't it be a little..."
The old secretary frowned as he stared at Zheng Yuanshan with a pair of bright and spirited eyes.
Zheng Yuanshan could not help but feel a little nervous, but he could only brace himself and insist on his opinion.
Many of the people in the hall could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat. Zheng Yuanshan had actually refused to set up a task force. He was trying to … Although Zheng Yuanshan did not directly say that he refused to set up a task force, that was clearly his intention when he brought out the military.
After all, if the military was also investigating this matter, then it would be meaningless for them to set up a task force. At most, after their investigation ends, the military would hand over some things that could be investigated here to them.
But in reality, since the military was involved in the investigation and was also involved in some sensitive information, then the people involved must have been dealt with by the military first.
In this way, it would be hard to say how many things he would have to do in the end.
Zheng Yuanshan's actions were undoubtedly opposing the establishment of the task force.
Furthermore, he was trying to prevent the old secretary from protecting the cadres of the martial arts department, so that he would not have the opportunity to interfere in this case.
No matter how high your level is or how old your qualifications are, you are from a different department than the military.
Many of the standing committee members had a different look in their eyes when they looked at Zheng Yuanshan.
From the looks of it, he was going to deal a fatal blow to the cadres. Moreover, he was likely going to deal a ruthless blow to the cadres of the martial arts families involved so that they would not have the chance to escape the punishment!
No one had expected Zheng Yuanshan to be so fierce and tough!
Even the old secretary frowned and asked with a deep tone, "Comrade Yuan Shan, in other words, can't the military and the central government coordinate a little?"
Zheng Yuanshan secretly gritted his teeth and nodded, "Secretary, I'm very sorry. I have no other choice …"
The moment these words came out, the expressions of many of the people present changed once again.
Zheng Yuanshan was adamant on not giving in!
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the reason why Zheng Yuanshan had dared to make such a crazy move earlier was because he had someone to rely on. Furthermore, it was likely that he had already antic.i.p.ated this day!
The Ji Clan's revenge!
Without a doubt, this was definitely the intention of the Ji Clan. With Zheng Yuanshan's level and strength, he was definitely not qualified to speak to the old secretary in such a manner. He must have received permission from the Ji Clan.
This made many people shudder in fear. It seemed that the Ji Clan would not only avenge Ji Feng, but they would also turn over some of the people who were jumping up and down in this incident.
Many of the standing committee members subconsciously shifted their gaze to the old secretary, wanting to see how he would react.
The Ji family was so powerful that if they wanted to interfere in the affairs of the province, the old secretary might not agree, right?
However, the old secretary's reaction was out of everyone's expectations. He nodded his head slightly and said, "I understand, let's disperse the meeting!"
Everyone was stunned and the Governor became even more anxious. He hurriedly said, "Secretary …"
"Is there something else?" the old clerk asked, glancing at him.
"... "No more." The governor was immediately stunned and shook his head. He could see dissatisfaction in the secretary's eyes. Some were against the Ji Clan, but most were against him.
The Governor couldn't help but cast a gloomy gaze at Zheng Yuanshan, but what he received was only the back view of a person. Zheng Yuanshan lowered his head and packed up the doc.u.ments before turning around to leave, leaving the governor with no place to vent his anger.
"Humph!"
The governor snorted, picked up his briefcase and left.
This time, the emergency standing committee started with a strange atmosphere, but ended with an ending no one had expected.
When news of the standing committee got out, many people were shocked. However, there were also people who immediately shut their chattering mouths and became silent!
Zheng Yuanshan actually had concrete evidence. He had made it clear that he was going to avenge Ji Feng. In other words, the Ji Clan had revealed their fangs publicly.
This caused many people to feel displeased in their hearts. After the news of Ji Feng's a.s.sa.s.sination was spread out, there were quite a few people who were gloating, or were waiting behind his back to make fun of him and make sarcastic remarks.
This was especially so after such a long period of time. Ji Feng and Zheng Yuanshan had mustered up a large group of people to carry out their investigations, but they failed to find anything out of the ordinary.
However, this sudden news caused everyone to be stunned.
Only now did they understand that it wasn't that the other party hadn't found anything out, but rather, he had been making progress all along. It was just that he hadn't made his move yet, and now that he had made his move, who could do anything about it?
At the same time, there were also people who started to get nervous. The Ji family had already made things clear, so what step would they take next?
Who would it involve?
Also, would they really act in such a way?
Almost everyone was paying attention to the results, wanting to know. However, no one would have thought that the revenge of the Ji Clan would come so soon.
A few hours after the conclusion of the standing committee meeting, many people were arrested, but almost none of those who were involved in the attack on Ji Feng were able to escape.
At this time, outsiders already knew the whereabouts of the missing deputy governor as well as the vice head of the provincial hall. The outsiders already knew that they were taken away by the military because they were involved in some sensitive matters.
This kind of news shocked everyone!
Even the Deputy Governor had fallen!
In addition, one of the reasons was because he had partic.i.p.ated in the attack on Ji Feng!
This news allowed people to see the Ji Clan's method of retaliation, and also allowed people to see the anger of the Ji Clan. This news allowed people to see the Ji Clan's method of retaliation, and also allowed people to see the rage of the Ji Clan.
There was no need to mention the people involved!
Even the destruction of the He Sheng gang, as well as Ji Feng's men, which used such a fierce method to stir up the entire gang in Cantonese, were insignificant in front of such shocking news.
It could be said that the Ji Clan was truly enraged this time!
A huge storm swept through the entire Guangdong Province!
The rage of the Ji Clan was such a terrifying effect that it was hard to tell how many people were shocked!
Guangdong Province was shaken!
Yan Jing was equally shocked!
No one would have thought that this storm from the southern and northern provinces would continue all the way to Beijing.
Just a few hours after the emergency standing committee meeting ended, when Zheng Yuanshan started moving further in Nanyue, there was also an operation going on far away in Beijing.
When military vehicles sped through the streets one by one, heading straight for a house in the suburbs, the news spread and shocked many people!
That mansion was the Qiao Family's property!
Qiao Rong had been staying in this house for the past year to recuperate, but now, these soldiers had pounced onto them. It was obvious that they were going to attack Qiao Rong and possibly the Qiao family!
"Could it be... Qiao Rong was the one who planned the a.s.sa.s.sination of Ji Feng?! " Some people guessed.
"..."
Instantly, when this speculation was spread out, everyone fell silent.
If Qiao Rong had really done it, then the whole thing wasn't that strange.
Qiao Rong had every reason, ability, and motive to do such a thing. Anyone who wanted Ji Feng's life would be stunned, but Qiao Rong's actions would not be difficult to understand.
Everyone was clear about the grudge between the Qiao and Ji Clans.
As for the grudge between Ji Feng and the Qiao family, everyone was well aware of it. It could be said that the reason why Ji Feng had been living among the commoners for over ten years and had suffered together with his mother was all because of the Qiao family!
On the other hand, the rapid decline of the Qiao Family in recent years, and even the successive major attacks, were most likely because of Ji Feng.
Strictly speaking, the two of them did not owe each other anything. Instead, it was filled with enmity!
Of course, this was only for the sake of Ji Feng. However, to the Qiao family, they owed Old Man Ji a debt of grat.i.tude, because all these years, the Qiao family had been able to lead such a comfortable life, and all of the Qiao family's disciples were able to be so domineering in Beijing because of the special care that Old Man Ji had given the Ji family.
And now it was all over.
"BOOM!"
A group of heavily armed soldiers jumped down from the carriage and kicked the door of the mansion open. The others quickly climbed up the wall and entered the mansion, breaking the Qiao family's property.
However, the scene that was reflected in the eyes of the soldiers caused them to be unable to help themselves from being slightly stunned …
