Chapter 737: The Great Tang Dynasty. 904
To be cautious, Mou Ci still went to Xiao An and asked him what he thought of the old director, mainly in terms of his character. Chu An saw his determination and said he could be trusted, so he went back to the old director.
"Director, the reason why the large army has not entered the city for such a long time is not just because they are afraid of the reserve order." Mu Ci also recently realized how difficult it is for General Tang. "The struggle between the top leader of Beijing City and that person has always existed, and each of them occupies half of the territory."
The old director's eyes darkened. There were some situations that he couldn't get involved in at his level. "What do you mean?"
"He was the man behind the scenes who advocated the unification of the military and politics. He was the one behind the merger of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and he killed countless people during that time."
"What about Daqin? They are the first base that integrates military and politics. It's right under their noses." The old director already had a guess, but he was not sure.
Mou Ci gave him a direct answer, "The Great Qin is now a unified military and political system on the surface, but the actual military power is still in the hands of the leader and has not been handed over. So... as long as our Sheng Tang does not hand over the military power, the leader will have an excuse not to really hand it over."
The old leader suddenly realized that the man was so radical that he was willing to kill people to promote the military-political integration of the following bases in order to force the big leader to hand over power.
Now only the prosperous Tang Dynasty is left with no result. Once the prosperous Tang Dynasty is handed over, Daqin, as a model base, will have to be handed over.
The integration of military and politics is good for the development of the base, but the people at the helm are likely to change, and this prosperity is built on a false shell.
"This situation won't last long. Beijing has already taken action," said Mou Ci.
Commander Tang had considered handing over military power because he had received instructions from the top leader, but he still had to wait.
The old director nodded. He also knew that Leader Xiao Song had returned.
"So, if the reserve is given the right to act this time, we can come in naturally. But if not, this will be a handle, and that person will definitely use this to force Commander Tang to hand over the military power, which will disrupt the plan of the big leader."
"I understand. Don't mention this matter to anyone else. Let's proceed according to the original plan." The old director sighed.
He now felt a little sympathetic towards Yu. This man was not a wicked person. On the contrary, he was very talented and ambitious. He had once told him that he wanted to build Shengtang into the most prosperous base so that there would be no more hunger here. He believed that he could do it with his talent, but it was a pity that he was on the wrong side. If he did not allow the large army to enter the city today, would the big leader still keep him in the future?
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
The old director added, "What are you going to do about the commando team? I always thought you were going to secretly send a large force into the city, but now it seems that's not going to work. We must not let them catch us."
"I have already made a plan, but the first-tier personnel are not convenient to reveal for the time being. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the people in the first tier are very different." Mou Ci said with some embarrassment.
"I'm relieved if you have confidence. I won't ask any more questions. If someone asks you, you can't refuse. Let him come to me. I'll protect you."
The old director's brows relaxed. Now that the goal was clear, he might as well do it in a big way. At worst, he would have to fight another battle in the underworld.
…
On the other side, Chu An and Gu Ye returned to Tang Zhen's ward, where he had already gone to bed to rest. Chu An didn't want to disturb the old man, so he left enough medicine for a week and also prepared a few for the old director.
She couldn't participate in anything going on here and could only wait for the counterattack in three days.
Mou Ci didn't keep her as everyone was busy with plans.
When Chu An and others returned to the apartment, a little boy was guarding the "stall" in the lobby on the first floor. He seemed to be the child of family 904.
There were sweaters, scarves, pots, pans, and clothes hanging on the stalls. It was very miscellaneous. Next to it was a note saying "Save my brother, buy something."
What is going on?
When the manager saw them coming back, he hurried over and quietly explained that the eldest grandson of the old couple on the 4th floor was poisoned by the fog. Although he took the antidote, it was of the third grade and he only woke up once that day. Now his condition is getting worse.
The doctor said that in his condition he must take a first-class antidote to survive, but the old lady's family couldn't afford it.
"I have no choice. No one is well-off, so I can only let them set up stalls here. It's too dangerous outside, and I dare not let them go out."
When Chu An came back, he found that there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and even few cars. No one knew what actions the Blue Gold Society would take next.
But...even if I have points, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a first-class antidote.
She looked at the little boy, while Gu Ye and Lao Chu looked at her.
It was easy to give an antidote, but she didn't know how many such people there were in the building, and whether anyone had ulterior motives.
"Let's go up and take a look first." Chu An said.
The manager pressed the elevator for them, and they returned to the ninth floor, just in time to see the old couple kneeling at the door diagonally opposite.
The old lady was carrying a basket with some wilted onions in it. The old man was carrying a rolled-up quilt on his back and two large bags in his hands, which should be all their belongings.
"I'm not lending it for free. I'm giving you all my belongings. You can take whatever you like."
The family closed the door so loudly that the old lady closed her eyes and almost fainted.
Chu An looked at the door of 904. There seemed to be quite a lot of noise inside. The woman was crying and shouting that she couldn't live anymore. The man also roared this time. If we can't survive, then don't survive. I can't watch my mother kneeling down from house to house. That's my eldest nephew, my brother's only child.
With a clang, the door was pushed open. The man walked to the old lady with red eyes and helped her up. "Mom, I still have 15 points. I'll transfer them to you first. You get up. I'll borrow the rest later."
The woman rushed out and tried to snatch the man's cell phone, but ultimately failed.
"Mom, I don't understand. I just want my family to live a good life, my husband to have enough food and not to be tired, and my son to go to school. Why is it so difficult?"
The woman also sat on the ground like a deflated balloon. "Mom, tell me, are my requirements too high? Am I really so selfish that I am hopeless?"
The old lady closed her eyes in pain. She could not give an answer because this was also her wish.
"Go and take a look." Chu An said.
She didn't know which words touched her, and her heart seemed to feel a little sour. Is this compassion? She didn't have it before, and even felt that pity was harmful to the other person.
But if the prosperous Tang Dynasty could survive this disaster, they would not have to face those difficult days of hunger, would not have to be on guard against everyone around them, and would not have to grit their teeth and be strong every minute and every second.
Before the three of them had taken two steps, seven or eight people appeared in the opposite direction, walking hurriedly. They were not the staff of the apartment, and they knew the leader - the young boy Cui Nan.
Cui Nan was accompanied by his elder brother, who stuck close to him, which made people feel uncomfortable because they were both tall and the elder brother was so dependent on his younger brother.
"Grandma, I want to buy something." Cui Nan said.
He also saw Chu An and others who had just gone upstairs. He just nodded and smiled, then busied himself talking to the old lady.
There were also adults behind Cui Nan, and they all asked to see their things.
