Chapter 526: After being a ghost for so many years, don’t you want to go back to being a human?

No. 18, Yanqing Street.

The residence of the Minister of Finance.

Crunch!

A black convoy consisting of seven Phoenix brand bulletproof vehicles stopped at the gate of the yard. Many special police officers from the Security Bureau pushed open the car doors and stood guard, forming a tightly defended security circle.

Bang!
The door of the black car in the middle was opened by a personal guard, and Shen Wuxiang then stepped out of the door.

Military advisor Sun Shehu and many secretaries and adjutants followed behind Shen Wuxiang, with a large number of people surrounding him, which was quite majestic and spectacular.

Anyone who stands in that position can appreciate the beauty of power.

At that time, you will feel that you are the center of the universe, the only one in this world.

It's easy to get lost in this dreamy feeling.

From ancient times to the present, countless heroes have become captives of power.

Sheng Jing had already led Sheng Kuang and the family’s steward to greet Shen Wuxiang at the door. When he saw Shen Wuxiang getting out of the car, Sheng Jing smiled for the first time and said, “The arrival of the military prime minister brings honor to my humble courtyard.”

"You're too polite, Mr. Cai." Shen Wuxiang also smiled, and strode forward to shake Sheng Jing's hand, saying, "We have worked together for many years, but we haven't had the chance to sit together and have a drink. It's a pity."

"Since the military minister has said so, even if I don't drink on weekdays, I have to accompany you to have a few drinks today." Sheng Jing also responded readily.

There were two drunkards in the Sheng family, the drunkard Sheng Kuang and the drunkard Sheng Xinhuai, so Sheng Jing hated alcohol.

He seldom drinks at home and never socializes outside.

In addition to the Tang brothers coming to visit his home, when he was in a good mood, he would accompany them to drink a few glasses
"Then we have a deal. We two brothers won't stop drinking today." Shen Wuxiang laughed.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they looked like good friends who had met after a long separation.

Sheng Jing invited Shen Wuxiang into the house for tea, and asked Mei Yuyin to arrange dinner.

Sitting in the teahouse, Shen Wuxiang looked at the rockery and pool in the courtyard and said, "This courtyard is great. It can be said that there is a new scene at every step. No wonder people say that the Prime Minister never eats or drinks outside. With such a small courtyard, who would be willing to go out?"

"You are too kind, Prime Minister." Sheng Jing boiled water to make tea and said, "I am an optimistic person who knows my fate. This little world is enough for me. Prime Minister has a broad mind. When he looks at the world, he sees the stars and the sea."

Shen Wuxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at the magnificent scene, and said aloud: "A grain of sand is a world, a leaf is a bodhi. We conquered the sea of ​​stars, isn't it also for a small courtyard like Caixiang's?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

During the greetings, these two great men standing at the pinnacle of the empire had already exchanged a witty exchange.

Shengjing is using this small courtyard to express his "three no's" attitude of "no ambition" and "no fighting, no competing, no taking sides".

Shen Wuxiang was telling Sheng Jing, without the stars and the sea, how could you own such a small courtyard?

Without the protection of someone who owns the sea of ​​stars, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep this yard, right?

The small courtyard is not just a small courtyard, it also represents the power of the prime minister and the dignity of the Sheng family.

No one can choose not to stand in line.

If you are not on my side, you are on the enemy's side.

Murmur
Bring water to a boil.

Sheng Jing picked up the boiling water to rinse the tea leaves, and then poured the brewed golden tea into the teacup in front of Shen Wuxiang.

"Please." Sheng Jing made an inviting gesture.

"Thank you." Shen Wuxiang put his fingers together and tapped the table lightly to express his gratitude.

He took a sip of tea, looked at Sheng Jing and said, "Together we can both benefit, but to separate we can both suffer. I will reward you with the position of Minister of Finance. Why do you want to hurt my loyalty, Brother Sheng?"

With the power of the Shen family, they could take the position of Prime Minister from the Sheng family while they were bombarding the Phoenix Palace and eliminating dissidents.

The reason why no action has been taken until now is that Sheng Jing has controlled the empire's purse for many years and has done a good job.
They also need a stable financial market.

If the economy collapses, the country will collapse too.

Second, I have treated you so well, why don’t you love me well?

If you don't love me, who else can you love?

Unexpectedly, Sheng Jing is such a fickle scumbag. He holds the position of a financial minister, but gives his true heart to others.

How could Shen Wuxiang tolerate this?
"When you are in a position, you should do your job." Sheng Jing also picked up a cup of tea and sipped it carefully. His voice was low but quite authoritative: "I think I have done a good job in this position. I have worked diligently and devoted all my energy. How could I have offended the military prime minister?"

"Brother Sheng, I am a rough man and I speak directly, please don't be offended."

"Military Minister, please speak freely."

"In my opinion, since I'm giving you the position of Minister of Finance, you should stand on my side. We are in the same group." Shen Wuxiang spoke simply and directly, and did not intend to beat around the bush with Sheng Jing anymore.

These intellectuals always speak in a vague way and can't get to the point even when the tea is cold.

Unlike them warriors, with this much time, a war will be over.

"Does the military minister think that we are not in the same group?" Sheng Jing looked up at Shen Wuxiang and asked.

"I can't feel it." Shen Wuxiang smiled, but there was a flash of lightning in his eyes: "At least, I can't feel it during this period of time."

"How can we make the military prime minister feel it?"

"That's Brother Sheng's problem." Shen Wuxiang looked at Sheng Jing and said with a smile, "Brother Sheng is also an old man. How did you make the late emperor regard you as a loyal minister?"

Any minister who wants to please his superiors and gain the emperor's recognition and trust has his own set of rules for advancement.

Sheng Jing was entrusted with an important task by Zhong Daolong and promoted to the position of Minister of Finance, one of the three ministers of the empire.
This can be said to be the highest position a minister can hold.

Is it just because Shengjing is good at economics?
There are at least 800 people who are good at economics. Why is it him?
It's not that he doesn't know how to build relationships, he just doesn't want to build a good relationship with you.

Shen Wuxiang understood this principle, and he knew Sheng Jing also understood it.

"."

Sheng Jing fell silent again.

He really hadn't thought about having a good relationship with Shen Wuxiang.

Even subconsciously, he was still keeping a distance from the Shen family.

People like them can clearly sense it if they show a little kindness.

Why would I come to your house to demand an explanation?

"My whole heart is devoted to the country, which does not conflict with the military minister's whole heart." Sheng Jing looked up at Shen Wuxiang and once again stated his political stance: "The country is good, and the military minister will be good."

Sheng Jing's sole purpose is to serve the country and develop the economy.

If the economy improves and the living standards of the empire's citizens rise, won't the country get better and better?
Shen Wuxiang's sole purpose was to take the country into his own hands.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create a country that is prosperous and strong?

Everyone's interests are the same.

Shen Wuxiang understood what Sheng Jing meant.

He really doesn't give in to any push or push.

He put down the teacup in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared, he looked at Sheng Jing and asked, "When will the stock market return to normal?"

"in three days."

"No, one day."

Shen Wuxiang stood up, looked down at Sheng Jing who was sitting there, and said, "I want to see the results within one day. If you don't change your mind, I'll change the person."

He turned and walked towards the door.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng, let me give you another piece of advice. A man who knows the current situation is a hero."

"What they can give you, I can give you. What they can't give you, I can also give you."

After saying this, he walked out of the door with a group of guards. He walked like a dragon or a tiger, and he really looked like an emperor.

Sheng Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A little bitter.

Sheng Kuang came over and sat in the place where Shen Wuxiang had just sat. He looked at his elder brother and asked, "Why don't you agree to him? Even pretending to be nice is fine."

"You don't understand." Sheng Jing said.

Some things, once you get in, you can never get out.

Once he agrees to cooperate with the Shen Group, Shen Wuxiang will certainly force him to make a comprehensive statement.

How will they extricate themselves then?
Doesn't Shang Xiulin understand this? He just can't do it.

It is the politicians who jump back and forth.

Only those who stand firm are politicians.

Won the name before and after his lifetime.

Even if it's dangerous.

Shengkuang understood his elder brother's character. If someone threatened him, he would tremble and throw himself into the enemy's arms. That would not be him anymore.

"What do you think about the stock market? They only gave one day."

Snapped!
Sheng Jing put down the teacup, his eyes sparkling, and said in a firm voice: "We need to increase our efforts."

"Brother." Shengkuang called out worriedly.

Shen Wuxiang just told Big Brother to calm down the chaos in the stock market within one day, but Big Brother wants to intensify the destruction.
Isn't this clearly an attempt to go against Shen Wuxiang?

How could Shen Wuxiang tolerate this?
Sheng Jing smiled, looked at Sheng Kuang and said, "I am not as good as you in fighting, but you are not as good as me in using your brain."

"."

Brother, are you saying that he has no brains?

"Let Xinhuai come back and live here. Don't go to school these few days."

"Brother, do you suspect someone is doing something bad to her?"

“It’s always good to think one level further.”

"I understand." Sheng Kuang nodded, looked at Sheng Jing and said, "Brother, don't go to the Ministry of Finance recently, right?"

"How can that be possible?" Sheng Kuang said with a smile, "If I don't show up for a day, all kinds of noise will appear in the department, and people will be in a panic. How can everyone work?"

"What about my brother's safety?"

"If Shen Wuxiang were to attack me, he would be like sinking into water and into fire, courting his own destruction."

"But."

"listen to me."

"yes, Sir."

Mei Yuyin came downstairs and saw that the guests had left. She asked in confusion, "Are you not eating at home? Didn't you say you won't stop until you're drunk?"

Sheng Jing comforted him, "It's okay, I'll have a drink with Sheng Kuang."

"By the way, call Xin Huai back and let her drink to her heart's content today."

"."

Mei Yuyin's heart suddenly tightened.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Is this a breakdown in the negotiations?
Shen Qingping stayed in Ghost Mountain for a very long time, so long that he could not remember what year it was.

However, when he saw Tang Fei's smiling face, he still felt like he had seen a ghost.
Although he had seen evil spirits in Ghost Mountain that were much more ferocious than the ghosts himself.

"Tang Fei!" Shen Qingping looked at Tang Fei with gritted teeth, shouting the name viciously.

What's his expression?
Don't you think we are good friends?
How did I get here? Don’t you have any idea at all?
"I'm here." Tang Fei replied happily, "Brother Qingping, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever."

"."

Lu whispered quietly and moved to the side.

She was afraid that she would be affected when the shells fell.
When Tang Fei first came to Xinxing, she had paid attention to him and naturally knew the grudge between Tang Fei and Shen Qingping.

In order to prevent Tang Fei from entering the Empire's First Military Academy, Shen Qingping temporarily changed the test subject and personally took action to kill him.
Then he contributed the 'Jungle Warfare Map' which is still used by the Empire's First Military Academy.

Because of the classic nature of this map and the unpredictable body movements of Tang Fei in the jungle, Shen Qingping was completely stared at on the pillar of shame.
Whoever studies this map must understand the story contained in it, right?
Tang Fei was taken by Fenghuang to the Shen family's old house on Luojia Mountain to demand an explanation. Shen Qingping was kicked by Shen Boyu to guard the ghost den in Dushan.

Well, that's why we met here.
Could it be that Tang Fei came here this time just to see Shen Qingping?
What does he want to do?
What is there here that he wants?

"Brother Qingping, I've come all the way to see you, why don't you treat our old friend to a drink?" Tang Fei shouted.

"Of course." Shen Qingping's eyes were cold and he said in a chilling voice, "This is what I dream of doing."

He waved his hand, and countless soldiers gathered around Tang Fei and Lu Siyu.

"Take them back to base."

"Yes." Those soldiers, filled with murderous aura and as fierce as wolves and tigers, pounced over.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Your general and I are friends."

While Tang Fei was speaking, the dog-leg knife on his waist was spinning above the fierce soldier's head.

The soldiers turned and looked at Shen Qingping.
What is your relationship?

Looks very familiar.

Should we kill him or not?

If we don't take action now, we will be hacked to death.

Shen Qingping looked at this scene with cold eyes and said sarcastically: "Didn't you say you are my friend? Why don't you dare let anyone take off your weapon?"

"Do we need to unload our weapons between friends?" Tang Fei said indignantly, "Do we need to defend ourselves against friends?"

"Strangers going to the base must unload weapons."

"No, that won't work." Tang Fei shook his head and refused: "I'm afraid you don't consider me a friend."

"."

Tang Fei is not a fool.

He would never be like those stupid male protagonists in movies and TV dramas who would allow others to strip him of his weapons, blind him, and tie him up in order to gain their trust.

What if someone slashes you with a knife?
What if someone pushes you directly into a pit and buries you?
The only truth that people who come out of the old land believe in is: don’t believe in human nature.

Never put your life in the hands of others.

It is even more impossible to put your life in the hands of your enemy.

Do you think you can't die quickly enough?

"In that case." Shen Qingping's eyes were gloomy and he said in a deep voice, "We have nothing to say."

He raised his hands, and countless gun muzzles lit up with blue light.

That's a sign of energy gathering.

"Shen Qingping, you've been a ghost for so many years, don't you want to go back to being a human?" Tang Fei squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Qingping, shouting.
