Just when Li Yundong was involved in a minor turmoil among the crew, Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin were involved in a larger turmoil at the Shen family in Tiannan City.≥
After the three of them returned the completed Medicine King Cauldron to Zhao, Shen Wancai, who had been stunned in the conflict and then bedridden by the bad news, immediately jumped up from the hospital bed as if he had regained his soul.
Shen Wancai looked at the lost Medicine King Cauldron and burst into tears for a moment. But the one who was more excited than him was Tianai Auction House. The manager of the auction house almost worshiped Su Chan, Ziyuan, Zhou Qin and others. I wish I could offer them a shrine to immortality.
If Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin hadn't brought the Medicine King Cauldron back, Tianai Auction House simply couldn't imagine what kind of blow this incident would have on them. Who would dare to bid for their things in the future?
The news that the Yaowang Ding sold for an astonishing price spread throughout the country immediately. But what spread faster than this news was the news that the Yaowang Ding was magically taken away immediately after the bidding ended.
Stealing a work of art worth 700 million in public was a huge event no matter where it was placed. This incident even alarmed the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Even Li Yuanbo and Zhou Keqiang were alarmed, especially at that time When Zhou Keqiang knew that this matter also involved Li Yundong and his daughter, he even asked Li Yuanbo for help and mobilized Director Zhong, who was the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, to lead the team to establish the "Yaowangding Extraordinary Robbery Investigation Team". and asked about the matter personally.
Therefore, when the Yaowang Ding returned to Zhao in its entirety, Tiannan City immediately caused a sensation. Countless reporters swarmed in. Not only were reporters from major provincial and municipal TV stations filming, the TV also sent a special team, and the Shen family villa was bustling for a while. extraordinary.
"Ms. Zhou, may I ask who stole the Medicine King Cauldron? How did you get the Medicine King Cauldron back?"
"Ms. Zhou, I heard that you were also present when the Medicine King Cauldron was robbed. Can you describe the scene for us?"
"Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou, where did you find the Medicine King Cauldron? How did you get the Medicine King Cauldron back from the robbers? Do you have any connection or relationship with the robbers?"
All kinds of questions came to Zhou Qin like a tide. The reporters stretched out their arms and almost stuffed the microphone into Zhou Qin's mouth. Su Chan, who was standing on the second floor of the villa watching all this, patted her chest with lingering fear: " It’s so dangerous. Fortunately, I’m not down there dealing with these reporters, otherwise I would have been eaten alive by them!”
Ziyuan stood next to Su Chan, smiled slightly and said: "I knew you and I couldn't handle it, so we let Zhou Qin go."
Ziyuan is very careful and expected that such a situation would occur before returning the Medicine King Cauldron. Therefore, she and Zhou Qin were already prepared to deal with it. For the scene in front of them, there is no better candidate than Zhou Qin. .
This lady of the Zhou family seems to have been born for such a big occasion.
Zhou Qin, who was downstairs at this time, showed her magnanimity to the fullest, and she answered every question perfectly. Especially when she heard a reporter's malicious question, she turned to look at the reporter, She said: "Miss, for your previous questions, you can ask the police officers involved in the investigation. I have told them everything I know. As for your last question, I would like to ask why you feel that What connection and relationship do we have with the robbers?”
This reporter is a woman in her thirties, who is the ace reporter of the provincial TV station. She has always been known for her sharp and aggressive questions. She said unceremoniously: "With all due respect, the robbers took away the medicine king cauldron at that time."
It was the three of you who were there when we returned the Medicine King Cauldron, and it was the three of you who were there when we returned the Medicine King Cauldron! This makes people think a lot!"
Zhou Qin raised her eyebrows, her brows filled with heroic spirit. She said in a diplomat-like language: "Are you the reporter Wang from the first scene of the provincial TV station? I know you, you are very famous!"
Reporter Wang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but please don't avoid my questions."
Zhou Qin smiled slightly and retorted sharply: "I didn't avoid your question, I just think that your reputation is not consistent with your ability, and it is a typical name that is not worthy of the name! Because I think you want to be a detective novel or
It would be better to be a movie screenwriter, you have a very rich imagination! If we have something to do with the robbers, why should we return the Medicine King Cauldron intact?"
The colleagues were enemies, and when the reporters around him saw that the ace reporter from the provincial capital was embarrassed, they burst into low laughter.
Reporter Wang was slightly annoyed, but she quickly said: "Isn't it? The whole thing looks like a self-directed farce, or is it just a hype?"
As soon as he said this, the reporters around him whispered to each other and nodded secretly. This was also what they had guessed, but not everyone dared to clarify the matter so directly like reporter Wang.
If you want to be a qualified reporter in China, it is absolutely impossible without an excellent sense of politics and people. Almost every reporter present knows the identity of Zhou Qin, and they also know that the daughter of the Zhou family in front of them is very valuable.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp. Reporter Wang is the only one who dares to twist his beard.
Everyone looked at Zhou Qin for a moment, wanting to see how the eldest lady of the Zhou family would deal with such a sharp question.
Zhou Qin was not as angry as everyone expected, nor was she vague. She just smiled slightly and asked: "How to hype a work of art worth 700 million? Yaowang Ding sold for an astonishing price of 700 million.
This is a huge hype in itself. Do you need to use self-directed and self-acted heists to hype up? What if something goes wrong? Is such a huge risk worth taking? Can it be committed? Reporter Wang, your imagination is extremely rich, but your IQ
There is really something wrong!”
Reporter Wang had obviously developed a tough face. She seemed not to have heard Zhou Qin's teasing and asked quickly: "Miss Zhou, can you describe to us in detail how to retrieve the Medicine King Cauldron?"
Have you passed by?"
Zhou Qin returned to his diplomat-like smile and tone: "You should ask the public security officer in charge of this case about this. I have no comment."
Reporter Wang was unwilling to ask a barrage of questions, and other reporters were also unwilling to be left alone, and once again bombarded Zhou Qin with various questions like a storm.
While Zhou Qin was dealing with them one by one, suddenly several young men squeezed in from the crowd. One of the young men grabbed Zhou Qin and walked out without saying anything.
Su Chan quickly grabbed Ziyuan's arm: "Sister Ziyuan, sister Zhou Qin was taken away? Do you want to save her?"
Ziyuan shook her head: "Don't be stupid. With Zhou Qin's current strength, if she is unwilling to leave, who can take her away? This must be an acquaintance of Zhou Qin's."
Su Chan felt relieved and suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, Sister Ziyuan, you are smart!"
The reporters around rarely encountered such a beautiful and sharp-tongued interview subject as Zhou Qin. They were not willing to let her go so easily. They followed her out one after another, following her like a tide. The young man turned around and pointed at Ziyuan on the second floor. and Su Chan, said: "Go and interview them, they also know."
These reporters all turned around and saw Su Chan and Zi Yuan looking at them in the corridor on the second floor. Their eyes lit up, and many reporters immediately turned around and rushed toward them.
Su Chan was startled, and quickly turned around and hid in the room Shen Wancai had prepared for them. Zi Yuan had a noble temperament and did not like to interact too much with worldly people. She had always been able to hide from the scene in front of her. Naturally, he followed Su Chan and dodge quickly.
Seeing the two men hiding like frightened little rabbits, these reporters had no choice but to look back for Zhou Qin. However, when they saw Zhou Qin get into an Audi A6 and then drive away, they could only look at the car and sigh.
The person who brought Zhou Qin into the car was Secretary Liu, who had previously made private deals with Li Yundong. After he put Zhou Qin into the car, he got into the driver's seat and started driving.
As soon as Zhou Qin got on the bus, he saw a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance sitting behind the carriage. He was his father Zhou Keqiang.
Since the opening ceremony of the Three Immortals of Earth, although the relationship between Zhou Qin and his father is still a bit stiff, it is finally not like a life-and-death enemy as before, and sparks fly when they meet.
Zhou Qin nodded slightly and said hello lukewarmly: "Dad."
Zhou Keqiang habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and rubbed it with his hands. Before he could speak, Zhou Qin frowned and said, "Why can't you change your old habit?"
Zhou Keqiang chuckled: "If I don't smoke, how about smelling it?"
Zhou Qin was noncommittal and said calmly: "Why are you free to come to me today?"
Zhou Keqiang put the cigarette between his nose, took a deep breath, and sighed: "You are making so much noise, can I not come to you? Hey, 700 million! Not 7 million, nor 70 million. !!Hmph, you guys are so capable. You didn't move for a long time, but as soon as you moved, you whipped out an atomic bomb for me! Do you know how much impact this incident has? The central government has been shaken, do you know?"
Zhou Qin secretly frowned: "As for that? 700 million won't alarm the central government, right? You officials, you spend more than this amount every day on eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and wasting money, right?"
Zhou Keqiang was angry, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You! What are you talking nonsense about? Is it allowed to say such nonsense?"
Zhou Qin sneered and turned his head to the side, as if he didn't bother to say a few more words to his father, who was an official.
Zhou Keqiang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said: "Yes, I know you have embarked on a completely different path from me. You are now very arrogant and arrogant! But don't forget, no matter how arrogant you are, you still have to You are wallowing in this turbid world! No matter how powerful you are in the spiritual world, you cannot escape from the cage of the Three Realms and Five Elements! No matter how capable and great you Zhou Qin are, you still cannot escape from the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues! I am still your father! "
Although Zhou Qin's face was still stern, her heart was filled with fear. She had grown up in the system and naturally knew how correct what Zhou Keqiang said was true.
In China, although many ordinary people do not like to talk about politics, the inheritance of two thousand years of official-oriented thinking has led to the ubiquity of official culture and the pervasive influence of officialdom. Although practitioners are powerful and defiant, if they offend the government, they will
There are only a few paths waiting for them: be surrounded and suppressed by the government with all the strength of the country, or go into exile abroad, or hide in the mountains and forests incognito, or be brutally exterminated, or directly ascend to immortality and jump out of the cage.
Apart from this, there is no other way to go.
This point, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, has been verified countless times in the long history of China's two thousand years of feudalism.
During the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty launched large-scale campaigns to exterminate Buddhism. At that time, the Buddhist practice sect had an absolute advantage in the world of practice. However, as soon as the imperial court issued an order, Buddhism was immediately swept away.
, the various sects are withering like fallen leaves in late autumn, it is terrible to see.
When Zhou Qin was reading the history of the spiritual world, he clearly remembered that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had done even more outrageous things. He destroyed Buddhism twice and Dao once! The reason for destroying Dao was simply unbelievable!
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was a Hu, he could declare to the outside world that he was "pro-Han" and "far away from the Hu". Buddhism was a foreign religion and belonged to the "Hu type". In order to prove that he was "pro-Han", Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty
He claims to be a devout Taoist believer and wants to suppress Buddhism.
But suppressing Buddhism cannot be done forcefully, so Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty organized a large-scale debate and a private fight. However, because the Buddhist practice sect had an absolute advantage in the practice world at that time, whether it was a debate or a fight, Taoism
The practitioners all returned miserably.
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who believed in Taoism, was furious. He not only hated the rampant power of Buddhism, but also hated the incompetence of the Taoist practice sect, which had lost his face. So in anger, he simply broke his face and announced to the whole country: Buddhism
Taoism and I will be destroyed together!!
As a result, the Buddhist and Taoist practitioners who had fought to the death were beaten together by the court until they cried for their fathers and mothers. It was too miserable to watch.
This was true in the ancient era of cold weapons, let alone the era of hot weapons now? If a cultivator is careless, an ordinary person can still kill him!
Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials, and religious forces have not fought against imperial forces. This is a wise saying summed up in blood and tears.
If you are really targeted by the government and decide to suppress it vigorously, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Zhou Qin was secretly frightened. She turned her head and said to Zhou Keqiang with a serious face: "Do you have any opinions from above?"
Zhou Keqiang snorted: "You know you are afraid? Aren't you the most fearless person?"
Zhou Qin snorted coldly: "I'm afraid it will hurt him!"
Zhou Keqiang said: "Hey, worry about yourself first! For now, calm down, the higher-ups have noticed you, don't be named, don't do anything irreparable, otherwise...you guys are going to go abroad."
!”
Zhou Qin stopped talking. Her face was cold and she said nothing for a long time.
Secretary Liu, who was driving, took Zhou Qin and Zhou Keqiang for a spin, and then drove the car near the Shen family villa. After Zhou Qin got out of the car, Zhou Keqiang said just as she was about to close the car door: "Don't forget it."
Heed my words and keep a low profile, otherwise... otherwise you will know the consequences!"
