Rise From Doomsday Chapter 143: 、Secret

The Provincial Government Building, located on Ganjiang Avenue, covers an area of ​​one thousand acres. In terms of the sparsely populated Mars, this area is not large. As the administrative center of Tianfeng Province, it has gradually become a province. Long private realm.

Behind the provincial government building is the governor’s residence. After several expansions, the area is only a little smaller than the provincial government, but from the map, the provincial government building and the governor’s residence are almost reattached together. This is not in compliance with the regulations, but Mars is far away from the earth, and the trend of retro is constantly being mentioned, and the Ma family is covering the sky in Tianfeng Province. No one dares to mention this kind of trivial matter.

In Tianfeng Province, the provincial government building is also known as the City Lord’s Mansion.

Below the governor, there are twelve deputy governors, of which six are surnamed Ma, which shows the power of the Ma family in Tianfeng Province. This is not a meeting room, but a study room for the governor. Spacious and quiet, the tall bookshelf almost covers the entire wall of more than three meters high and five meters long. The bookshelves are filled with books, from the Four Books and Five Classics, Biography of Historical Records, Finance and Politics, Science and Astronomy... There is no extra decoration in the study, a few chairs and a desk, not even a computer.

An old man was lying on the only recliner. He was tall and slightly fat. Half a hundred hair showed that he was over seventy years old. There was a wet hot towel on his forehead, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was light. It seems that he is asleep. He is the supreme leader of Tianfeng Province, the ruler of this city, Ma Xuewang, and the head of the Ma family's generation.

The Ma family was the first generation of people who migrated from the earth. It was a merchant at first. However, a merchant has no status. The Ma family is not reconciled to be a statusless merchant for a lifetime. The reconstruction work after the end of the war, Ma Jiachao After living in the opportunity, the identity of a businessman became a scholar. Starting from a small clerk, step by step, after a hundred years of development, he took the position of deputy governor of Tianfeng Province. At this time, the Ma family was in Tianfeng Province. He was already a famous family, but it was only in Tianfeng Province. What really made the Ma family the first family was a coup d'état twenty years ago.

Ma Xuewang, who had just inherited his father’s position, seized the opportunity in the chaos and used an iron fist to suppress other competitors. He successfully aspired to the throne of the governor and put the'vice' on his father’s head for more than 20 years. After the word was removed, Ma Xuewang gradually controlled the entire Tianfeng Province through the means of wooing and exclusion, inserting a large number of Ma family members into government agencies. Now, the orders of the earth capital have been passed to Tianfeng Province, and some of them are no longer working.

Nominally, Tien Fung Province has to be subject to the management of the Earth’s capital. In fact, everyone knows the situation. However, this situation is not only Tien Fong Province, but also in other remote provinces, which is even more excessive. There are all, so no one accuses Ma Xuewang of not being wrong, but this does not mean that Ma Xuewang does not want to develop Tianfeng Province well.

Mars lacks food, food has always been a sensitive issue. The topic of food is always cautious. That's why Ma Xuewang put the food issue to the person he trusts most. His younger brother, Ma Xuecheng, couldn't think of it. Something went wrong.

Ma Xuewang’s father married a total of four wives. With the formation of the hierarchy, it is very common for nobles to marry several wives. The law only advocates monogamy, polygamy or polyandry. Circumstances are not allowed in principle, but when everyone does this, the law is in vain, and the law is not revised because of some moral issues.

There are many wives, so many children. Therefore, Ma Xuewang has seven brothers and four sisters, which means there are eleven brothers and sisters. However, Ma Xuecheng is the only one with his mother. Ma Xuewang’s mother was his father’s third wife. She was a concubine and had no status. Therefore, Ma Xuewang’s childhood was not very good, especially when his mother was hurt by giving birth to Ma Xuecheng and died when Ma Xuecheng was one year old. After that, life is even more difficult.

Ma Xuewang’s father was already a deputy governor at that time. However, there were quite a few deputy governors in a province. His father was just one of the inconspicuous ones. There were many political enemies and a lot of troubles. So, also Basically, there is no time to care about the two brothers of Ma Xuewang. Without a mother, having a father and having a father is equivalent to not having them. Therefore, the childhood of the two brothers Ma Xuewang was not happy.

Because childhood suffered too much, so after growing up, Ma Xuewang tried his best to take care of this younger brother, and gave him the most important food in the province. Food is related to people’s livelihood, especially in places where food is scarce. Ma Xuecheng It can be considered a high position.

However, it is his younger brother that makes Ma Xuewang a headache. Take this food crisis as an example, he has a hunch that his younger brother must have played a disgraceful role in it, otherwise, he would not be so angry.

"...If I catch someone who leaked the secret, I will definitely not be able to forgive him, and people who raise their heads to rob food and raise prices must also find out. These **** are making a fortune in the country. Suddenly, Ma Xuecheng Feeling a heavy pressure hitting, it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and he couldn't help but breathe, suddenly raised his head just to meet the bright eyes of the elder brother, two cold glows like knives, without a trace of emotion, staring at him stunnedly.

Ma Xuecheng opened his mouth, feeling a chill inexplicably, his mind was blank, and he forgot what he wanted to say. I've been terrified of this big brother since I was young, but this kind of cold eyes is still rarely seen, generally speaking, only when the big brother is furious.

His roar stopped abruptly, and the study suddenly went from the noisy summer to the deadly winter.

"Let you come here to solve the problem, not to find the cause. Is it useful to find the cause at this time? Is there that time? Regardless of the severity." Ma Xuewang said coldly.

"But--" Ma Xuecheng was not convinced.

"How do you find the reason? Are you going to find it yourself?" Ma Xuewang's voice rose a little, with a hint of anger.

"No--" Ma Xuecheng closed his mouth as soon as he said one word, only to feel a chill rushing from his heel to the back of his head, he almost broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice, "Big brother taught me, I know it's time to do this."

He originally wanted to talk about people from the Public Security Bureau, but he immediately realized how he, a deputy governor in charge of food, has the right to command the police department. This is an official taboo. Although he knows that his eldest brother treats him very well, it involves There is no brotherhood to talk about the dispute over rights. If he hadn't come to the door and braked, he would definitely not have a good life in the future.

Ma Xuewang's icy gaze moved away from Ma Xuecheng, and his slightly raised head fell again. Ma Xuecheng felt the tidal pressure receding, and his body lightened, knowing that his eldest brother had finally let him go, and he heard the calm voice of elder brother in the end. : "How is the situation outside?"

In addition to Ma Xuecheng, there are two other people in the study, one is Vice Governor Cheng Zhizhang, who is in charge of propaganda, and the other is Ma Xuecheng's secretary.

Although Cheng Zhizhang is not surnamed Ma, he is a die-hard supporter of Ma Xuewang and his most trusted confidant. Otherwise, he would not give him such an important department of publicity.

"The citizens are not worried, they are all based on false reports. As long as the citizens are told the truth, I believe that the market will soon return to calm." Cheng Zhizhang bowed.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ma Xuewang said quietly, with a daunting murderous tone.

"Are they the Xiang family and Xue family?" Ma Xuecheng's heart moved.

The Xiang family and the Xue family are distinguished families second only to the Ma family. Although they have failed to compete with Ma Xuewang for the position of governor, they have been suppressed, but the two are deeply rooted and each occupy a position in the vice governor. It is not so easy to deal with, especially in order to fight against the increasingly powerful Ma family. The two have formed an alliance. I heard that they are married. During the process of Ma Xuewang's ruling, they kept making small moves.

Don't ask, they must be there in this food crisis.

"It's not just these two." Cheng Zhizhang glanced at Ma Xuewang, his tone was a bit solemn, "There are also the Wang family and the Su family."

Ma Xuecheng's face changed and became very ugly. The four big families stood together, and they were already enough to contend with the Ma family.

"As long as there is food, everything is not afraid." Ma Xuecheng's face changed a little, and finally said coldly. He knew that in order to cope with some crises these years, there were tens of millions of tons of rice and flour hidden in the underground warehouse. , Even if there is no grain harvest for two years in Tianfeng Province, there is no need to worry about the grain problem. As long as a portion of the grain is used to quell grain prices, the rumors of the food crisis will be self-defeating.

However, after he said what he said, he found that Cheng Zhizhang's expression was very strange. It was an expression that couldn't be described in words, which made him wonder, did he say something wrong? His doubts did not last long, and his eldest brother Ma Xuewang sounded with a strong nasal voice.

"There is no more food in the warehouse."

Ma Xuewang was busy with the monster invasion during this period, and his work and rest were irregular. He had some cold in the past two days, and he caught a cold today. Today, science and technology have also greatly improved the level of medicine. The cold is no longer a disease. At least I have not heard of death due to a cold in more than 100 years. However, discomfort is indispensable.

"What?" Ma Xuecheng almost jumped up, "How come there is no food, why don't I know?" He couldn't help but be shocked. As the deputy governor in charge of food, Chang Pingcang's food is the most important thing for him. Political resources, but now the eldest brother says they are gone.

This feeling is even more absurd than when he wakes up in the morning and finds it's still dark outside.

Ma Xuewang's cold eyes told Ma Xuecheng that all this was not a joke, but true. In Ma Xuewang's cold gaze, Ma Xuecheng quickly calmed down, regained his rational thinking, and carefully asked: "So much food...where has it gone?"

The only one who can bypass him and take away the grain silently is his elder brother in Tianfeng Province, but he really can’t figure out where so much grain is used, and it’s impossible to feed pigs. Come on.

Ma Xuewang looked at Cheng Zhizhang, with a calm voice with a trace of fatigue: "What to do, you know in your heart, I believe you can do it well, and also, tell Lu Mingxiao that the society must be stable, and those who make troubles cannot stay~ IndoMTL.com~Go ahead."

Lu Mingxiao is the director of the Public Security Department and concurrently the director of Xinfeng City Public Security Bureau.

"Subordinates retire." Cheng Zhizhang bowed and bowed and exited the study.

"There were some things, but it was not time to say." Ma Xuewang stared at Ma Xuecheng, his eyes solemn: "This matter is related to the life and death of the Ma family, so I have never told you that the food has been sold. There are only a few hundred thousand tons left, all of which are military rations."

Ma Xuecheng was inexplicably nervous, but he knew his eldest brother's habit, he didn't like others to interrupt when he spoke. Although he had many problems in his mind, he remained silent.

"The food was taken to change weapons." Ma Xuewang said lightly, but it fell in Ma Xuecheng's ears like thunder, and the whole person almost stood unsteadily.

Weapons? A frontier official, what does he want a weapon for? If you want to confiscate the traitors or something, you can apply directly to the above, and you can change weapons in private. This is illegal, and the answer is ready to come.

Rebellion!
