Chapter 422: Phoenix City Bloody Night (Old Companion)!
By the Luoxia Lake.
In the night, Yan Wenli stood at the door of a small courtyard and asked in his unique hoarse voice: "Is this right here?"
"Yes, Dean, we have confirmed it." He Changle, the director of the Second Supervision Division who was following him, responded respectfully.
The Second Supervision Office is responsible for collecting and summarizing intelligence. It is really a trivial matter to investigate the residence of a dean.
They can even accurately detect a person's frequency of sexual intercourse and the number of times he or she gets up to pee every night.
Anti-theft and anti-theft supervision, these are the three major dangers in the minds of imperial officials.
"That's good." Yan Wenli nodded and said loudly: "These courtyards are filled with intellectuals. Don't look for the wrong place and disturb the peace of these intellectuals."
"Yes. There will be absolutely nothing wrong." He Changle said with assurance: "Dean, should I break down the door?"
"Rude." Yan Wenli scolded: "Get away, I'll knock on the door."
"Dean." He Changle blocked Yan Wenli with his body. He was worried that there was an ambush inside, or that some unruly things would shoot fatal bullets.
"Get out of the way." Yan Wenli kicked He Changle away and cursed loudly: "It's insulting to gentlemen. Do you know who lives inside? He is the dean of the Empire's First Military Academy, the most famous person in this country. Cultural people, what are you talking about in such a noisy manner?”
Everyone saw that the dean was really angry and did not dare to persuade him any more. They retreated to both sides, holding their weapons in hand, ready to rush to the rescue at any time.
Crunch!
The courtyard door opened in response.
The old lady in a gray Tang suit stood at the door, looked at Yan Wenli who was standing outside the door and said, "Dean Yan, right? The old businessman asked me to come over and invite you in for tea."
Yan Wenli bowed slightly to the old lady and said politely: "Excuse me."
After saying that, he stepped into the yard.
He Changle and others followed closely behind Yan Wenli and broke into the yard.
"Director, shall we go in?" A man wearing a mask looked at the woman riding on the motorcycle airship and asked.
These motorcycle airships have a cool shape, resembling both the heavy-duty motorcycles that were popular before the cataclysm, and the yachts that sailed in the sea in the later period.
However, these airships can cruise at high altitudes.
Although the flying height is not as high as that of the Star Disk Starship, its performance is more outstanding than that of household flying cars.
Known for its fast speed and high flexibility, it is mainly equipped in some special military services or police forces.
For example, the Black Cavalry of the Fifth Division of the Overwatch Council.
In the interstellar age, they can't just go find a group of war horses to serve as landlines.
If an energy cannon or missile were fired over, a large number of people would be killed or injured.
This kind of airship is equipped with the most ferocious weapons and equipment and the most advanced defense system. With the energy cover opened, it can evade artillery attacks in time and even resist bullet fire.
This is not something that flesh and blood can do.
"Come in with me and protect the dean." Yan Jingnian said in a deep voice.
Yan Jingnian is the deputy director of the Fifth Supervision Division and the head of the Black Cavalry Army.
She controls the most important armed force of the Overwatch Council.
"Yes." The masked man responded, jumped off the airship, and followed Yan Jingnian towards the small courtyard.
When Yan Wenli came in, Shang Xiulin was sitting at the tea table boiling water for tea.
He poured the scalding boiling water into the teapot, felt the teapot was warm with his fingers, and then slowly poured out the waste water.
Carefully pinch a handful of tea leaves and put it into the pot, rinse it with boiling water again, pause for a moment, and then quickly pour out the first tea.
This is tea washing.
Pour in boiling water for the second time, wait a little longer this time, open the lid of the tea, and a large amount of tea aroma will hit your face.
He then poured all the tea into the fair cup. After soaking for a long time, the tea became old and tasted sour and bitter.
Only then did he pick up the Justice Cup and pour the golden tea soup into two Yuhou Tianjing porcelain cups.
Shang Xiulin made an invitation gesture, picked up the tea soup in front of him and smelled the aroma, then took a careful sip and said, "This is the first time Dean Yan has come to my small courtyard, right?"
"This is indeed the first time that I accept criticism from Dean Shang." Yan Wenli said with a smile.
He picked up the tea soup and drank all the tea in it.
With his mouth stained, he said with lingering thoughts: "I tasted a little bit of the taste just now, but it's gone. It's better to drink. Drinking is simple, direct and enjoyable."
"After drinking it, I still feel dizzy and dizzy, which is a rare moment of relaxation."
"You also know that those who work in our industry offend many people, and many people miss us. Therefore, we have to keep our eyes open and our ears pricked up all the time. If there is the slightest sign of trouble, we have to jump up and take action. Guys and people work hard.”
"It's not easy to live." As Yan Wenli spoke, he stretched out the teacup in his hand.
"Yes, life is not easy for anyone."
Shang Xiulin filled his empty cup with tea again and said aloud: "We have different ways and we don't agree with each other. This is why I have never invited Dean Yan to come to my place for tea."
"Then I am a bad guest tonight? I came uninvited."
"A bad guest is also a guest, and a cup of hot tea must still be served."
Shang Xiulin looked at Yan Wenli and said calmly: "I've drank tea and talked about old times. Dean Yan can explain his purpose."
"It's really embarrassing to say it. I didn't expect that the first time I met with the Dean of Business would be on such an occasion."
Yan Wenli rubbed his wrinkled face and looked very regretful: "It doesn't matter that I, Old Yan, haven't read many books, but I respect scholars the most."
"What's more, I have admired someone like Dean Shang for a long time. When I have the chance to meet him, it should be over a glass of wine and chatting about current affairs."
Shang Xiulin was drinking tea by himself and was not touched by Yan Wenli's words at all. He said aloud: "Dean Yan's behavior, I have heard that Dean Yan is not a sentimental person, right? Why bother acting like a little girl? ?”
"Alas, it seems that Dean Shang has misunderstood me." Yan Wenli sighed softly, looked at Shang Xiulin and said, "Actually, even if I don't tell you, Dean Shang should also know the reason for our late night visit."
"Dean Yan, please explain it to me and make it clear to me."
"We suspect that Dean Shang colluded with the Tang family to rebel against the party and harbor key criminals from the empire."
"Is the Tang family really rebelling against the party? Who is the key criminal in the empire?" Shang Xiulin asked with a serious face.
Yan Wenli squinted his eyes and laughed, pointed at Shang Xiulin and said, "Dean Shang, do you know that with just these two sentences, we can identify you as a member of the Tang family's rebellion?"
"Of course you can. Aren't there many cases where the Overwatch Council has been beaten into submission? There are also a lot of wasted lives. One person who has more of me, Shang Xiulin, is not too many, and one who has less of me, Shang Xiulin, is not too many."
"That's different. You are the dean of the Empire's First Military Academy, a leading figure in education, with many disciples, including Tang Li twenty years ago."
Shang Xiulin's eyes gleamed slightly and he said coldly: "I have thousands of disciples, and Tang Li is just one of them. Am I responsible for the actions of every disciple?"
"To be honest, if possible, I really don't want to be in trouble with Dean Shang. But it's a pity." Yan Wenli sighed softly and said, "Should Dean Shang come with us to the Supervisory Yuan? Some words, It’s more appropriate for us to talk there.”
"I can go with you." Shang Xiulin said in a deep voice, "I have an old wife at home and her health is not good, so why don't we disturb her?"
He knows where the Overwatch Council is, and if he goes there, he may never come out again.
"That's no problem." Yan Wenli nodded in agreement.
"There are also children, they don't know anything about it"
"I'm afraid this will disappoint Dean Shang." Yan Wenli shook his head and said seriously: "Before we came over, two groups of people had already gone to invite Mr. Ling and Miss Ling."
The pain in his eyes flashed away. Shang Xiulin knew that it was unrealistic to bargain with these wolves, so he put down the teacup in his hand without fear and said, "Let's go."
"Old Shang, I'll go with you." The old lady stepped forward and took Shang Xiulin's hand, saying firmly.
"Nonsense." Shang Xiulin shook off his wife's hand and said loudly: "You are an old lady, what do you know?"
"I don't know anything, but I know how to take care of you." The old lady's eyes were red, but she said with a smile: "You only know how to read and teach in your life. How do you know how to make a fire and cook? How do you tell the difference? MSG and salt?”
"You like to eat braised pork the most. Will you burn it? Will you mend your torn clothes? If you leave, what's the point of me staying alone?"
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
"My wife, my wife, I will accompany you in life and death. Isn't that what I mean?"
"."
Shang Xiulin looked at the old wife in front of him, feeling sad and speechless for a long time.
