Chapter 197 114. Death of Bai Zhi’s mother (7000 words)
Thinking like this, Aunt Jin couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhi sitting in front of her, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
I started to recall something that happened more than ten years ago.
That incident happened in the second year after the Si family was destroyed during the Plantagenet Incident, which was eleven years ago from now.
That year, I don't know when it started, but a rumor about the "Gorse Incident" suddenly spread in some places in West Texas and even the Eastern Region.
Said: The reason why nobles are powerful and special is that they have the authority over the origin of the world.
But this kind of authority is actually not as magical as people imagine. It is just the coordinates of the origin of the world.
The origin of the world itself has no ability to discern, so as long as you get the coordinates, everyone can find the origin of the world, get the baptism of the origin of the world, and become a noble.
What's even more amazing is that the coordinate information exists in the bloodline of the nobles.
Therefore, as long as special methods are used, the information of that coordinate can be extracted from the bloodline of the nobles.
The reason why the Federation used [Porse] to destroy the Si family last year was not because the Si family really made any big mistakes or because the Federation wanted to establish its authority, but because the Federation had found a way to pass it.
Noble bloodline, a method to obtain the original coordinates of the world, so we are experimenting!
When this statement first spread, many people scorned it.
I feel like someone is maliciously provoking the already fragile relationship between the Federation and the nobility after the [Purse Incident].
But something unexpected happened.
Not long after, the method of extracting the original coordinates of the world through noble blood was actually spread by people with noses and eyes.
Moreover, this method is very consistent with the [Purse Incident].
That is, by killing two or more direct blood relatives (father and son, mother and daughter, mother and son, etc.) with the same bloodline, mixing their blood together, and using special rituals to communicate with the origin of the world, you can obtain the coordinates
.
The more nobles with the same bloodline are killed, the more comprehensive the information is obtained, and the more likely it is that the coordinates of the origin of the world can be obtained.
There are many details in this ceremony and it looks very detailed. At first glance, it looks like it is real.
And this incident happened just after the [Plantagenet Incident]. During that period, the authority and intimidation of the nobles almost plummeted, and it could be said to be the lowest point since the founding of the Federation.
Therefore, for a while, undercurrents began to surge in the Eastern Region, and many forces and the powerful Awakened family were a little bit ready to make a move.
Each noble family tried their best to clarify that this was not the case, and at the same time, in order to avoid danger, they tried their best to avoid direct blood relatives who were related by blood from appearing on the same occasion.
In fact, many nobles have temporarily closed their doors or reduced their influence.
Just like that, we lived in peace for another half a year, and nothing happened.
After being vigilant for half a year, the nobles gradually relaxed their vigilance. They felt that the various forces might not have been deceived by this lie, so they gradually resumed normal activities.
And just then, an accident happened.
Bai Zhi's mother and Bai Zhi's biological brother suddenly disappeared during a visit to relatives, and there was no news.
The Bai family, as well as Bai Zhi's mother's natal family, sent out many people to look for the mother and son, but after half a month of searching, there was still no whereabouts.
At this time, the two families couldn't help but think of the rumor half a year ago, and they also had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Because in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, so that future generations can connect the bloodline and communicate with the origin of the world, nobles generally only marry other nobles.
This is also the reason why the status of several wives of nobles is almost equal: no matter which wife is, the natal family behind her is very powerful, with military force, financial resources, and power, and can support the married daughter.
Generally speaking, when two nobles marry, the children born will inherit their father's bloodline.
However, there are also a small number of people who will inherit it from their mother.
This is the case with Bai Zhi's brother. He and his mother have the same blood, and both come from Bai Zhi's mother's family.
Theoretically, based on bloodline, he should belong to Bai Zhi's mother's family.
This also led to the fact that the emotions towards them within the Bai family have always been very complicated, a bit lukewarm.
Even Bai Zhi's father was very indifferent to Bai Zhi's brother. In contrast, he preferred Bai Zhi, the daughter who inherited the blood of the Bai family.
Therefore, when they were sent home to visit relatives, the escort provided by the Bai family was not very thorough.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Some people and some things can only be regretted and cherished after they are lost.
Therefore, when there was no news from Bai Zhi's mother and brother, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead, Bai Zhi's father couldn't help but feel regretful and depressed all day long.
Even later, the old man of the Bai family went out in person because of this incident, and bloodbathed the entire Eastern Region of the suspected forces and the Awakened family, and even almost killed He Weidao to Bai Zhi's mother and brother to avenge Bai Zhi's father.
Recover.
It was also from this period of time that the Bai family began to shrink its power, no longer exposed its edge, and began to hide its capabilities and bide its time.
After this incident happened, Bai Zhi, who lost her mother when she was just a teenager, was also given to Aunt Jin to raise and teach her along with her biological daughter.
It was also from that time that Aunt Jin discovered that Bai Zhi's personality had changed.
I seem to have become more silent and calm than before, and I have also become more motivated and hard-working than before.
If we say that Bai Zhi in the past seemed like a noble girl who had never experienced the cruelty of society, her conversation was gentle, her temperament was cheerful, and the light in her eyes was soft and innocent.
Then, at that time, she seemed to be hiding great grief in her heart, and there was always a black flame burning in her heart.
As Bai Zhi's aunt, Aunt Jin was keenly aware of this matter, so she tried to enlighten Bai Zhi many times, but it didn't have much effect.
Later, because the situation of the nobles in the Federation was indeed deteriorating little by little, and Bai Zhi was indeed the only legitimate daughter of the Bai family, Aunt Jin felt that it would be a good thing for her to make progress, so she gradually gave up.
Persuade.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed
The darkened girl back then has grown into a graceful beauty.
Her beauty became as outstanding as her mother's.
But in other ways, it's a bit surprising.
For example, although her strength is getting stronger and stronger, and she has almost become the number one expert among the younger generation in Cedar State. However, her talent in resourcefulness is somewhat lacking.
And because Bai Zhi has been particularly motivated and unwilling to admit defeat in the past ten years, the less resourceful she is, the more she wants to prove herself, and the more jokes she will make.
Although every time she does things, she is serious and looks very reliable and serious, but the results every time make people laugh or cry.
So gradually, he became a "comedian" among the younger generation. It's really dumbfounding.
However, when I think about this matter carefully, I feel that it is natural: how can there be so much God's reward for hard work.
God is not fair in the first place, and it does not mean that as long as you work hard you will gain something, so what else does talent have to do?
Especially in terms of resourcefulness, if you don't have talent, you just don't have talent. No matter how hard you work, it will be difficult to change.
Therefore, in the past few years, Bai Zhi, who has become more and more aware of this, has become increasingly grumpy.
Sometimes, when performing tasks, she would kill criminals until their blood flowed into rivers, just like a witch.
As the aunt who has raised Bai Zhi for more than ten years, Aunt Jin sees it and is anxious in her heart.
She knew that Bai Zhi was walking on the wrong road, and was running all the way without turning back. She also tried to correct Bai Zhi several times, but it seemed to be of no avail.
As a result, now. Suddenly, Bai Zhi changed?
It seems like everything has been let go.
In other words, I partially let it go.
No longer pursue improvement, no longer work hard to do things that you can't do, and continue to make all kinds of jokes. Or even admit that you want to be a "bastard"?
Aunt Jin looked at Bai Zhi, who had been smiling more and more recently and seemed to be getting more and more silly.
Suddenly, I felt that Bai Zhi's current state was very similar to that of myself more than twenty years ago.
At that time, I had just fallen in love with Bai Zhi's father. It seemed like this was the case, right?
Is it because falling in love makes women stupid?
Or is it that she finally found someone she can rely on, so her mentality gradually calmed down?
Thinking of this, Aunt Jin was suddenly startled.
Because, she suddenly thought of a possibility!
The disappearance of Bai Zhi's mother and brother back then has not been revealed until now.
Although Mr. Bai was so angry that he killed many people and destroyed many factions and families. However, no faction or family admitted that they had done this.
At that time, everyone's general view was that the murderer must have killed Bai Zhi's mother and brother in order to become a noble. In this case, pleading guilty was a dead end, and he would definitely keep his words until the end.
However, Bai Zhi was still young at that time, and she probably still hoped that her mother and brother would still be alive.
Therefore, the reason why she has worked so hard to grow and improve over the years is to solve the case back then and find her mother and brother, or at least find their murderer.
It is precisely for this reason that Bai Zhi is so persistent in solving crimes.
Even though countless jokes have been made over the years, he still perseveres.
Because she didn't dare to give up. Once she gave up, her whole belief would collapse.
But now she has Fang Ze.
In just two or three months, Fang Ze proved his terrifying ability to solve crimes.
Moreover, his relationship with Bai Zhi is so close.
Bai Zhi probably recognized herself and then placed her hope on Fang Ze.
Therefore, she can suddenly become free and easy now
Thinking of this, Aunt Jin, who felt that she had guessed the truth, couldn't help but think of Fang Ze
She thought that not long ago, she informed her family about Fang Ze's "true identity" and the "relationship" between Fang Ze and Bai Zhi.
Although the family did not express their position, it didn't take long for Bai Zhi's father to be called to the Bai Family Villa by the old man of the Bai family who had not been out of confinement for a long time.
After that, within a few days, Fang Ze became the director of the Security Bureau.
From this series of actions, she could not tell that the old man was attracted by Fang Ze, his grandson-in-law.
So, I gave Fang Ze a hand and wanted to see Fang Ze's ability.
Looking at it now, Fang Ze’s performance in the past two days is at least up to standard.
Thinking of this, Aunt Jin took another look at Bai Zhi, who was nourished by love and gradually became different.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
Although Fang Ze has aristocratic blood, which makes his union with Bai Zhi less of a hurdle, the Si family has been expelled from the federation after all, and has not yet been rehabilitated.
It is not that easy for two people to be together. There are still many hurdles that need to be overcome together.
'I don't know if they can make it to the end.'
Thinking of this, Aunt Jin suddenly had an idea in her mind,
'If Fang Ze can really help Bai Zhi find out the truth about the disappearance of her mother and brother, maybe these hurdles will be nothing to them.'
A night of silence.
The next day, Fang Ze got up from bed.
He stretched, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As a result, when he came out of the bathroom, he found that the table was already covered with various materials.
It's thick, there are five or six dozen of them.
Fang Ze looked at the "bodyguard" standing in the corner with a confused face, and then a question mark slowly appeared on his head.
The two "bodyguards" glanced at Fang Ze awkwardly, and then said, "A lady sent it here this morning."
"She said she was from the Secretariat of the Security Bureau and was here to deliver documents under the order of Secretary-General Xunyi."
Fang Ze:.
Fang Ze felt speechless.
I didn’t have a “bodyguard” in my house before, so it was actually quite safe. No one could come in.
Co-authored, now that we have "bodyguards", anyone can enter!
Where is this place? It's a bus!
Now that we have a "conductor", we can finally open for business?
Fang Ze glared at the two members of the federal garrison named "bodyguards" who were actually "caretakers", and then while eating, he read the information sent by Xunyi.
I have to say that Xunyi has been able to be the secretary-general for such a long time because he has two skills.
She is rigorous and well-organized in her work. Even though she has a bad relationship with Fang Ze, the documents she prepared for Fang Ze are placed in categories, and she even attaches a note list.
Fang Ze first picked up the list and looked at it.
The list listed Fang Ze's day's itinerary and related suggestions as the director of the Security Bureau.
For example, although there were no specific arrangements for today, Xunyi suggested that after Fang Ze went to the Security Bureau, he should first hold a meeting with the heads of various departments.
At the meeting, learn about the situation and work situation of the heads of each department, and get to know each other with the heads.
After that, I read various reports, department reports, and task summaries of the Security Bureau in previous years, and read letters and official letters from the executive office and the State Security Bureau to understand the daily operations of the Security Bureau.
And go to the executive hall to meet with other municipal committee members to learn about the content of tomorrow's Emerald City executive hall committee meeting.
According to Xunyi's list, she suggested that Fang Ze learn all the information about the Sixth Section of the Security Bureau, the First Division and the Emerald City Administration Office within two days.
And in the next 2-3 days, they will inspect or summon the security stations of the five low-level cities under the jurisdiction of Emerald City.
Then, go to the State Security Bureau in person.
In this way, in a short period of time, Fang Ze investigated all the twelve departments of the Security Bureau and the two higher-level departments, so that he could start work in the future.
After reading the itinerary, Fang Ze also checked the documents marked as [Important] by Xunyi.
There are only two copies of the document.
They are from two higher-level departments.
One is an official letter just sent this morning from the Emerald City Executive Office.
Fang Ze opened it and took a look.
The official letter began by congratulating Fang Ze on becoming the director of the Security Bureau, and then invited Fang Ze to attend the Emerald City Committee meeting tomorrow morning.
Fang Ze looked at the official letter and felt that it was the most ordinary notification message.
But because Jiang Cheng was in charge of the Emerald City's ruling office, Fang Ze felt that it was not that simple, and there might be some trap waiting for him.
While thinking this, Fang Ze read the second document.
The second document was sent by the State Security Bureau.
In addition to congratulating Fang Ze on becoming the director of the Security Bureau, the above also notified and issued a task.
That is to ask the Emerald City Security Bureau to be prepared to receive the task force from the Eastern Jurisdiction Region and to cooperate with matters related to the arrival of the Flower Goddess.
To be honest, Fang Ze was confused when he saw this notice.
Wait a minute! Eastern Region, Task Force?!
What the hell is this?
And cooperate with the arrival of the Flower God?
Fang Ze blinked.
What the hell is this?
Fang Ze felt that if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have reported all the truth and details about the Hua Chao Festival.
He even said that he had the [Path to Spirit Ascension through Faith] in his hand.
According to Fang Ze's understanding, normally the Security Bureau and the Eastern Jurisdiction Region should have achieved the purpose of the Flower Festival.
So, next, shouldn't we just send people to destroy all the puppets and forces supported by the Flower God and then close the case?
Why do we still need to let the flower god come?
Thinking like this, Fang Ze couldn't help but follow the index on Xunyi's annotation and began to look for other information.
Sure enough, soon, he found another document, also sent by the State Security Bureau.
The contents of the file are roughly:
After research by the Eastern Jurisdiction, it was decided not to interrupt the Flower Festival and allow the Flower Goddess to continue to descend.
In order to prevent the possible impact after the arrival, the Eastern Jurisdiction Region will dispatch a team of Huayang-level elites, led by a master of the Mortal level, to the Emerald City to suppress the battle.
In addition, the military base in Cedar State has been floating near Emerald City during this period, which is enough to avoid any accidents.
The Emerald City Security Bureau must do a good job in reception during this period and cooperate with the tasks of the task force to ensure that the Flower Festival goes on without any accidents.
Fang Ze was stunned when he saw this document.
To ensure that the Flower Festival goes on without any accidents?
Forehead.
It seems that I am the biggest surprise!
Now the flower god's clone is hidden in the investigation room late at night by himself.
His true body disguised himself as a clone of the Flower God, delaying time.
The God of Flowers was unilaterally isolated in the spiritual world by himself and could not come to this world at all.
So, how can the Flower Festival continue?
Use grass as bait to trick the flower god into coming again?
As soon as this idea came up, Fang Ze quickly shook his head.
Flora is not a fool.
He has cut off the connection between her and Xiaocao, and now he suddenly releases Xiaocao. This is 100% problematic. By then, it may be self-defeating.
Then. How about chatting with the Flower God? Trying to trick her?
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but think of his recent fear of being dominated by the Flower God.
He felt that unless someone poisoned the Flower Goddess in advance, he really didn't want to get in touch with that woman who had a beautiful face but always exhaled fragrance.
To be honest, at that moment, Fang Ze felt that he could quit sex.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
I think this matter is a bit difficult to handle
Just thinking about countermeasures while finishing breakfast, Fang Ze couldn't think of a good way to solve this problem perfectly.
Fortunately, according to the date given by the state, there are still at least 10 days before the task force arrives.
Fang Ze still has time to find a way to solve this matter.
Therefore, after he finished eating, he temporarily put the matter behind him. Then he asked two "bodyguards" to take the information and prepare to go to the Security Bureau to check the situation.
Just like that, I walked out of the house and just went downstairs.
Fang Ze was surprised to find a row of people standing downstairs.
There are Nan Yi, Xiao Pang, the old commissioners trained by Fang Ze during this period, some subordinates from Fang Ze's personnel department, and Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing.
They just stood downstairs, looking at Fang Ze, and then smiled happily.
Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
Then at this time, Nan Yi rushed forward, reached out and took the document from the "bodyguard"'s hand, and then whispered to Fang Ze, "Sir, it was Instructor Qing Ya who came to me and said that today is your first day after becoming the director.
The Security Bureau is at work."
"There are a lot of rumors in the bureau now, and they think you are not suitable to be the director."
"So, she suggested that we come to greet you in person to give you a strong momentum, and also to show the commissioners of the Security Bureau that you are not fighting alone."
‘Qingya.’ Fang Ze was slightly lost in thought after hearing Nan Yi’s words.
For a moment, his eyes scanned the crowd, but he couldn't find Qingya, so he couldn't help but look at Nan Yi and asked, "What about instructor Qingya?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Nan Yi quickly said, "The training center has a special status, and instructor Qingya has a quiet temperament, so she did not come to greet you."
"She didn't even want me to tell you that it was her idea."
She said, "As long as everything goes well with you, she is content."
Hearing Nan Yi's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but think of the female mentor who was fluttering in white, had a gentle temperament, and was like a spring breeze. She never asked for anything in return, but she was always kind to him.
For a moment, he smiled at Nan Yi, and then said, "Okay. I understand!"
After saying that, he looked at the commissioners who greeted him and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone for coming to pick me up for work! Then let's go back to our security bureau!"
With that said, he walked towards the crowd, towards Bai Zhi and Xiao Bai Ling.
When Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing saw him approaching, they stood on either side of him tacitly, while the others gathered around the three of them, and then headed towards the security bureau in a mighty manner.
However, the two "bodyguards" who were guarding Fang Ze were pushed out far away.
However, they themselves are the irritated little daughter-in-law of the Star Clan. They have received enough "insults" in the past two days, but they don't care.
The security bureau in the early morning is full of energy.
There are people coming in and out of the Security Bureau door every minute.
No matter whether they are coming in or going out, they all have smiles on their faces. Sometimes when they pass each other, they will stop, say hello to each other and chat a few words.
And just when everything was extremely peaceful.
Suddenly, three people stepped in at the door of the Security Bureau.
Those three people, two women and one man.
The boy is tall, handsome, and has a sunny face, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.
Two girls, one wearing a purple aristocratic dress, looks elegant and noble, with a reserved and faint smile on her face, like a goddess in the hearts of the public;
The other one is a girl about 1.5 meters tall, carrying a big hammer about the same height as her on her back, and she looks cute and cute.
As the three people walked in, a large number of neatly dressed and distinguished commissioners also came in behind them.
The commissioners are of different ages. There are new commissioners who have just joined the job, and there are also veteran commissioners who have obviously worked in the Security Bureau for more than ten or twenty years.
But no matter who they are, they are all full of energy, with endless fighting spirit on their faces!
Looking at the group of people, the commissioners who gathered to chat at the door were stunned for a moment, and then began to talk in surprise,
"Fang Ze? It's Fang Ze who's back."
"Yes. He came back so soon. Wasn't he invited to cooperate with the investigation?"
"I heard that he was released from prison yesterday and returned to the Emerald City. It seems that he is fine."
"However, so many people followed him unequivocally. Even Deputy Director Bai Zhi stood up. I really didn't expect it."
"Yeah, I thought Director Bai would tear him apart with his hands. But now, that's fine, the Security Bureau will be busy next."
"Definitely. Although Director Bai Zhi agrees with Fang Ze, she is originally a loner and has little influence. But Director Gu Qing is different. Many department heads are following him. Will they give in so easily? I don't think so.
Reality. Just look at it, there will definitely be some trouble in the first chief executive meeting."
"agreed, agreed."
At this time, Fang Ze had no idea what the commissioners below were talking about.
After entering the security bureau, standing in the lobby on the first floor, Fang Ze looked around at all the commissioners present.
Then, with his back on his back, he said to Nan Yi, who was following closely behind him, "Inform the officers above the deputy section chief of each department that a meeting will be held in the conference room on the fourth floor in an hour! Anyone who fails to attend the meeting will be investigated for dereliction of duty!
"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's order, Nan Yi quickly saluted and replied, "Yes!"
After answering, she quickly began to assign tasks to these trusted commissioners and asked them to notify the chiefs of various departments.
Fang Ze, however, turned his back to them, looking at the high steps leading to the fourth floor. While taking Bai Zhi and Xiao Bai Ling with him, he stepped up and said softly in his heart,
'Security Bureau, your director is back!'
'Lu Qing, Xunyi, come here, let me see what you will do in the first meeting!'
