Longmen Memoirs

She saw the other person lowering his sleeves and straightening them. From her perspective, she could see the silver armor under the python robe. His silver hair was tied up in a golden crown, and his demeanor was calm and slightly cold.

It was still raining outside the store, and several guards stood guard at the door, not reacting at all to the conversation inside the store.

Shi Huaiya considered the words in her mind, her eyes fell on the neatly arranged bowls on the table, and after a few seconds, she tried to speak.

"Your Highness, do you plan to sit here all the time? There was such a big commotion in the slums tonight. I heard about your experience in Xiacheng District tonight from... Superintendent Chen. Do you want to use this method to solve the problem in the slums? question?"

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's not wrong. What I mean is... I want to say, why does Your Highness care about the slums so much? In the eyes of a person like you, no matter how big the issues in the slums are, you can't see them."

"I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Shihuaiya family would say such things."

"Although my surname is Shihuaiya, it is true, but I cannot represent the entire Shihuaiya family."

"So you want to ask, is there any agreement between Wei Gong and I?" He looked at Shi Huaiya and said in a calm tone, "You want to ask this?"

"That was not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter if that's what you mean. Mr. Wei and I did have some discussions, but it's not about the slums. As for what it's about, I can't tell you."

"Then how does His Highness plan to resettle the slums in the future? How will His Highness deal with the ordinary people in the slums and the infected people in the slums?" Shi Huaiya asked.

"I thought this matter should not be an issue for me to consider." He said: "How will the slums be resettled and arranged? How will the National Guard Bureau take over the security of the slums and the treatment of infected people in the slums? Method, this is an issue that needs to be considered after Longmen.”

"Your Highness is not afraid of backfire. Although Your Highness and the Guard Bureau have forcefully cleared out the gangs in the slums tonight, many citizens must have been affected, and Your Highness cannot guarantee that you can deal with all the hidden dangers in the slums. , you have temporarily subdued those gang bosses with your power and army, but has your highness considered that after you leave Longmen, and there are many secret channels to the outside in the slums, maybe many fish have slipped through the net quietly After escaping, aren't you afraid that they will come back?"

"You asked a lot of questions, Superintendent Shihuaiya, which shows that you are very concerned about the future development of the slums, and you are also very concerned about the problems that the Guards Bureau will encounter in the slums." Shihuaiya heard him say. , and then praised: "This is not a bad thing. Having a dedicated police officer like you in the Guards Bureau is a good thing for the Guards Bureau and Longmen."

"Are you complimenting me?"

"Of course it's a compliment. Superintendent Shi Huaiya deserves the praise. Although my knowledge of other people in the Guards Bureau is limited to Superintendent Chen, but now, you have given me a good impression of the Guards Bureau. "

"Thank you."

Just praising Shi Huaiya may not have much effect, but if she praises him and Chen side by side, it will definitely be of great benefit to her.

She was a little proud.

"To answer the first question first, Miss Shihuaiya, I cannot guarantee that all hidden dangers in the slums can be eliminated, nor can I guarantee how many people have escaped from the blockade before tonight's operation, but I think that some of them The issue is also something that the Dragon Gate, including the Guards Bureau, needs to consider in the future."

He said slowly: "If you choose to tolerate and compromise with enemies and evil things because you are afraid of enemy revenge, I think the situation will only get worse. I don't care how they want to retaliate, nor do I care about their revenge." No matter how many people are involved, when doing something, you can't always look forward and backward and hope that all parties will be satisfied. This is the saying that it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of others."

"I have tried my best to minimize the harm, but I can't guarantee that no innocent people will be affected tonight. I can also understand that some people go astray, which is not what they want, but this is not the reason for them to do evil. Excuse, I don't care how unspeakable and tragic their past is, I can't care about this kind of thing, and I have already given them a chance."

"What happens after that, Your Highness?" Shi Huaiya asked: "I understand the meaning of your words, Your Highness, and I also understand these principles, but after the Guards Bureau takes over the slums, Your Highness is really assured that the big bosses will feel at ease. .”

He didn't answer, he asked instead.

"What does Superintendent Sivaiya think?"

"Me? I can't tell. I know what you did, Your Highness. You asked the men of the gang bosses to help the Guards Bureau clean up the big and small forces in the slums in order to dig out their foundations. In this way, even if those people want to take revenge, they will not think of it. In my current situation, I will also think of the big bosses who betrayed them first, and it will be difficult for those people to win over people."

"Oh? Does Superintendent Shi Huaiya know it well?"

"I don't understand it very well, but there is also this trick in doing business. If you like an industry, you will first contact a few of them with an irresistible price, and then use their hands to attack their peers. In the end, they will hate it. It will be a peer, I have seen many similar methods around my grandfather."

"That one must be far-sighted."

Far and near Zhuo Shihuaiya didn't know, but Shihuaiya knew that he was old and sick now, and could only lie on the hospital bed and rely on a ventilator to survive. Although it was unfilial to say this, he probably didn't have many days left.

"Then, Your Highness, do you think so now?"

"More than this, I'm more curious about what happened to those colleagues mentioned by Superintendent Shi Huaiya?"

"what?"

Shi Huaiya was stunned. She had no answer. After all, what would happen if the value of use was lost? There was never any friendship between businessmen.

"So, the answer is obvious, isn't it?"

"You want to..."

Shi Huaiya looked at His Highness King Wu in front of him in surprise, but he did not answer.

"In addition to the slums, there are so many gangs gathering in Longmen. Apart from these gangs, how many problems are hidden in Longmen, including today's slums. Many things cannot be solved by tonight's methods."

Shi Huaiya heard him say.

"I have always believed that killing cannot solve everything, but I cannot deny that some people are better off dead than alive."

His pale golden eyes looked over, and although they were as warm as water, they were full of coldness in Shi Huaiya's eyes.

"The slums in Longmen can be a good example. Where will the infected people in Longmen go in the future? How will Longmen treat them? How will Longmen deal with the slums in the future to prevent more infected people because of Longmen's policies? Gathering in this city, these are the issues that Longmen itself has to consider."

"But one thing is that Longmen's attitude towards the infected will not change for the better because of tonight's incident. No land in the world, including Longmen, is ready to accept the infected. Longmen will not become a paradise for the infected. But the ghettos can get better, there is no conflict between the two, maybe...I mean maybe, the lives of infected people in the ghettos should be better within the allowable range."

"The premise is that they do not break the law, and the premise is how you people, including Longmen, view them, ah, just like the stunned Superintendent Chen, she seems to have a good impression of the infected, whether it is out of sympathy or for Longmen’s expectations, if you want Longmen to become the city you want it to be, then you must first be prepared for the Guard Bureau to treat the infected equally. After all, whether it is Longmen or the Guard Bureau, the infected people only belong to this city. A part, a dispensable part.”

Chapter 19 The loss of the car behind

The price of the game at the upper level is the sacrifice of the lower level. This has been the case since ancient times.

Longmen Slum Area 25/Rainy Night

2:45 late at night

Once again, a slum area registered with the Guards Bureau was captured. The Guards Bureau was orderly arresting and communicating with the registered criminals in accordance with the law, treating the wounds of the injured police officers, and collecting the bodies of the injured.

The rain still hasn't stopped, washing over and over again in the dim urban area on a rainy night, mixed with the flashing lights of police lights.

"Old Chen, have you noticed?" Xingxiong asked Chen.

"what?"

"It's too fast. You think even if the Guards Bureau can settle in the slums, the current speed is too fast. It's unbelievable. No, it's better to say that there is a problem in being so fast."

"When you say that, it seems true that we haven't encountered much resistance. This is not normal." Chen frowned: "It's not just us. Judging from the reports of other teams, it is the same on their side."

"So..." Xingxiong put down Prajna: "Even if that person now suppresses the major powers in the slums, the people under them will never be as peaceful as they are now. After all, their lives and wealth are at stake, and some people are against The difference between them is whether they are executed by the Guards Bureau or die here now. From what I know about them, they will never sit back and die, even if they know they can't beat the Guards Bureau, they will still fight."

"Old Chen, we have to consider other situations."

"What is your judgment?"

"Either these people have temporarily escaped this raid through the secret passages hidden in the slums, or they have received the news in advance and want to play a big game. Even the Guards Bureau did not know about tonight's operation, so it is probably the former. I am not here I suspect there is something wrong within the Guards Bureau..."

"No, you can doubt it, Xingxiong. In fact, we all know that the Guards Bureau cannot have no problems, but at least these problems are still within the controllable range." Chen shook his head and asked: "Shi Huaiya How is it now over there?”

"The lady hasn't sent back any news yet, but her team members said they are making good progress."

"So you suspect there is a problem? Xingxiong, don't worry too much, just tell me as much as you want."

Chen was very sure. She looked at Xingxiong with firm eyes. Her blue hair had already been wet from the heavy rain. Her actions tonight were beyond everyone's expectations.

"I'm worried that it will be like what happened half a year ago. Old Chen, do you still remember the action we took half a year ago?" Xing Xiong asked.

Chen's face dropped.

"The memory is still fresh."

"We all know how capable those people in the slums are, and they also know how much the Guards Bureau can do here. They may have moved to other places through secret passages in advance, and the people left behind now are just their abandoned sons. Although I I don’t want to say this, but I’m afraid that even if the Guards Bureau temporarily establishes an advantage in the slums tonight, when the Yan Kingdom’s army leaves, everything will go back to how it was before.” Xingxiong sighed: “Old Chen, you Be prepared for this.”

"I...of course, Star Bear, I have always been mentally prepared."

"To be honest, even if the advantages established by the Guards Bureau in the slums will fade in the future, we have already made a lot of progress. At least what we did tonight will not be in vain."

"I know, Xingxiong, don't comfort me, I know it very well." Chen waved his hand: "I won't be discouraged just because of such a trivial matter."

Star Bear smiled.

"Looking at it this way, my worries are unnecessary."

"Not at all."

"Let's go have a drink after work, Lao Chen, and call Missy. It's been a long time since we got together, but don't quarrel with her this time."

"Humph, that depends on her." Chen said, then paused and added: "I have a feeling, Xingxiong, I can't say, but I feel that tonight's incident is just the beginning, and I will give you a task. .”

"You said."

"Keep an eye on Dayan's army, especially Gao Yi, and keep an eye on them. I want to know all their movements tonight. The other Guards Bureau teams will continue to gradually advance the access to the slums according to the plan."

"clear."

Xingxiong glanced at Chen who said this. She really wanted to say, you and missy don't like each other, and you always have to say a few words when you meet. It's not just Missy's problem.

At least you should reflect on yourself, Lao Chen.

When Xing Xiong and Chen were talking about Shi Huaiya again, she was watching the silver-haired His Highness walking into the rainy night. Shi Huaiya subconsciously picked up the radio and wanted to inform the other two people in the Guards Bureau of the news she knew, but Just as she raised her hand, she slowly lowered it.

The Yanguo army cooperated with the Guards Bureau to control the slums. With the acquiescence of the local forces in the slums, His Highness decided to tear up the agreement. No, no, he never had any hope for the talk of these forces in the lower city. , what he wants is a clean ghetto.

Does he want to deter potential dark forces in other Longmen in this way?He had no reason to do this.

He really needs to get rid of those people in the ghetto.

There are only verbal agreements between him and these people, and these agreements are countless. If he really regrets it in the end, who dares to jump out and point out his fault at this time? Doesn't he care about Longmen's response to this matter? reaction? Isn't he worried that Longmen will reject him?

Does he need to worry?

Those in Longmen need to fall out with him over a mere slum area. No, they won't do that. So from the beginning of the slum area, after the army appeared in the slum area, the direction of the place was not up to them.

The experiences Chen Huijie mentioned were that he was deceiving the big guys in Xiacheng District from the very beginning, in order to save him trouble and to pay less casualties and losses in the future.

Shi Huaiya didn't know how to evaluate it.

She finally made the call.

"List……"

"Shi Huaiya, where are you, do you know now..."

"Shut up!" Shihuaiya felt that her hands were trembling. She took a big risk. Although she knew that her identity as a member of the Shihuaiya family could protect her, she was not sure who would tell this news. After telling myself, what risks would I take by disclosing it to the Guard Bureau?

Look at the current Xiacheng District. This is already an execution ground that has been prepared for a long time. The appearance of the Guards Bureau is just to give the Longmen people a good explanation in the street newspapers tomorrow.

If it weren't for this, the Guards Bureau wouldn't even need to be exposed to tonight's changes.

"I said, listen, are your actions going smoothly now? It's too smooth. Listen to me, Chen... Chen Huijie, if you really want to do something, don't let the Guards Bureau interfere with the Yan Kingdom's army. Take action, don’t have excessive contact with them, wait until tomorrow, after tomorrow’s dawn, after everything has settled, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, you can wait until then.”

"But, listen! Don't be impulsive, and don't go after them. This matter has nothing to do with the Guards Bureau, and it has nothing to do with Longmen. You understand."

"What are you talking about, Shi Huaiya, you..."

"I asked you if you understand! Street Dragon!"

There was an obvious pause on the other side of the communication, followed by Chen's scolding.

"Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden!"

"Xing Xiong, you should be nearby. If you are here, remember my words and watch Chen." Shi Huaiya said, "I will come over now. No matter what happens, we will wait until dawn tomorrow to talk."

Chen resisted the urge to smash the radio to the ground.

"What is this guy doing? He suddenly said some inexplicable nonsense on the channel!"

"Missy may have found some clues." Xingxiong looked at Chen tentatively: "Her communication is very important, Lao Chen, we can wait for Missy to come over and ask her in detail."

"She just told the Guards Bureau not to interfere with the actions of the Yan Kingdom army and not to have contact with them until tomorrow." Chen pondered for a few seconds. She was not a fool. News worthy of Shi Huaiya's solemnity must not be simple.

Hoshiguma shrugged.

"It's getting to that point now."

"Mobile teams three and four have entered areas 23 and 24 half an hour ago and have controlled these two urban areas. Other teams have also pushed into areas 25 to 27. The remaining two areas have encountered sporadic obstacles. However, judging from the news coming back from the front line, they can take control of the remaining two urban areas in one hour, after all, the slums are almost completely defenseless against us now."

"Casualties?"

"15 people were slightly injured, and no one was seriously injured yet. We don't know about Yan Guo. They are not in our command system. 17 of the 13 planned gang strongholds in the slums have been successfully removed. All parties still cannot ensure that everyone All of them have been arrested. We can wait until later to issue arrest warrants. Before dawn, the Guards Bureau should be able to completely control the entire slum area."

"Where is Shi Huaiya now?"

Chen looked at the slum map on the tactical planning board again.

"At the alley of District 26, Chief Chen, Superintendent Shi Huaiya's team is deployed here, but I don't know if she is there."

"Oh, you are AWOL and the passages at other checkpoints are blocked?"

"The Guards Bureau team has blocked all the entrances from the slums to the outer city and the Central Ring Road. No gathering of people has been found yet, but we cannot guarantee some secret channels that we don't know about."
