Between mountains and seas

Chapter 90 Rectification

Shao Jingxing took great pleasure in exterminating the weeters.The mutated dodder attracted a total of twelve small weeds, but Yang Shuming didn't kill any of them—Of course, after Shao Jingxing made his move, he seemed to have given up trying to compete, and just diffused the smoke as well as possible. Like a model worker.

The number of twelve small weeds really makes people feel a little scared.Including the one parasitized in Wu Mo's body before, and the one suspected to be parasitized by two employees, there are as many as fifteen!Even without counting the number of eggs that may be laid later, this may be twelve lives!

In order not to slip through the net, a few people took the mutated dodder, called all the employees to smoke it once, and went around the plantation again. Although they didn't find a small weed again, they still felt uneasy— —Who knows if any weetles have flown out before?

"I don't think there are any." Ji Xiaojiu held the few remaining mutated dodders in her hand—this was intended to be sent to the laboratory to see if she could analyze the ingredients.If something like this can be artificially synthesized, there will be bait for the scorpion weevil in the future.

"How do you say it?" Ever since he really discovered this kind of mutated dodder, Shao Jingxing admired Ji Xiaojiu so much that he hurriedly praised her.

Now that Yang Shuming is not here, and they are all from her own family, Ji Xiaojiu dared to say: "The number of small gnats is actually very small. Some records in ancient books even confuse it with the gnat Jiaoming. How could this kind of error occur? So I think that the growth and reproduction of weeds are likely to be very dependent on mutated plants, otherwise they can parasitize any creature, and should have multiplied long ago."

This is well-founded, and Huang Yu couldn't help but nod: "You mean, if there are no mutated plants, the scorpion can't survive?" The scorpion parasitizes living bodies and "cannibalizes people and beasts."These are all creatures that can run around. If weeds can live anywhere, they should spread rapidly to the south and the north. How can the records only say "there are worms in the south".

"Cuscuta, gnats, and Jiaoming may all have geographical restrictions." Ji Xiaojiu fiddled with the dodder in his hand, "After all, the dodder we know doesn't only grow in the south, it mostly grows in the north as well." There are." Barrier cracks don't only open in the south, so there must be mutated plants in the north, but I haven't heard of any records of weeds.

Of course, it is also possible that the scutellaria appeared, but it was not recorded, but this just proves that the scorpion is so rare in the north that it is so rare that it does not appear in the book.That is to say, although the scorpion is an invisible killer that is almost irresistible, but this killer cannot shoot freely due to many restrictions.

"Thank God..." Shao Jingxing couldn't help but sigh.Sometimes it is unavoidable to feel that the arrangement of nature is very fair, otherwise, if a weevil reproduces, the human world will become a walking grain reserve. Just thinking about it makes people creepy.

Huo Qing also breathed a sigh of relief: "So, there shouldn't be any flying out?"

"It's only been a few days. The employees in the plantation have checked it, and there should be nothing wrong with it."

Gu Sheng exhaled softly: "This is the best. Repair the crack again tomorrow, and return to the capital early the next morning if there is no problem." He is almost 60 years old, and no matter how good his health is, he cannot compare with young people. The whole plantation is also a little tired from going up and down the mountain.Moreover, he was mainly doing the repairing of the cracks - such a big crack had collapsed once, Gu Sheng even used supernatural powers when drawing the talisman array, which was extraordinarily laborious, and he was already showing signs of fatigue.

"Why are you going to the capital again?" Shao Jingxing asked suspiciously when Gu Sheng was asked to go to the small building to rest first.They have just returned from the capital.Even if it's about the plantation, there's no need for everyone to go, right?

"Plenary meeting of the special affairs department." Ji Xiaojiu replied sullenly, "Except for a group of those who really can't leave, those who can go back must go back. For those who can't go back, the minutes of the meeting will be sent to them after the meeting."

Shao Jingxing felt a little uncomfortable: "Plenary meeting?" Although it wasn't really a general meeting, it sounded very solemn.As for the meeting he attended last time, only a small number of people were there, and a large number of strange beasts rushed out of a fixed door, which may involve the safety of all fixed doors.

"There was news yesterday that Yuan Fei's information was erased by the former Section Chief Zhu. Although Section Chief Zhu has passed away, this matter involves violations of discipline within the Special Affairs Section." Ji Xiaojiu said angrily, "The higher-ups need to rectify and send someone over to supervise."

The word supervision sounds very unpleasant, but Shao Jingxing is more concerned about another matter: "Why did Section Chief Zhu erase Yuan Fei's information?"

"I heard that I was deceived by Yuan Fei." Ji Xiaojiu shrugged, "Speaking of which, Yuan Fei was just a small mistake at the beginning, and he was dismissed because the incident became serious, otherwise it wasn't that serious—sorry Who can guarantee that these weird things will be safe?"

Shao Jingxing nodded involuntarily.This time he can be regarded as having a deep understanding.The three of them tried their best, and almost risked their lives one by one, but they couldn't stop others from listening.Take Wu Mo for example, he ran away by himself, what can they do?There are also those employees who died in the plantation. If it wasn't for the security guard who ran away without saying a word, everyone retreated earlier, maybe many of them would not have died at all.

Ji Xiaojiu curled her lips and lowered her voice: "I'm not going to say something nice—fortunately, Boss Chen himself was the mastermind of this incident. Otherwise, something happened to such a big taxpayer, the three of you, and Lao Miao , must be punished.”

Shao Jingxing was dumbfounded: "Why?" It was the three of them who chased Shimen County with just a little clue, and fought a dragon with their lives.If it weren't for the three of them, what would have happened this time?

"Without the three of you, Miao Miao would be out of luck." Ji Xiaojiu sighed, "There must be an explanation. Let me say something that shouldn't be said, this Chen-cough, no one in the family will make trouble That's okay... Yuan Fei is of course an asshole, but at the beginning, he, and the old chief Zhu, were dismissed because of such a big taxpayer among the dead. The old chief Zhu was even more wronged Well, it wasn't his hand at all."

Huang Yu knew a little about the old chief Zhu: "Chief Zhu is also approaching retirement age, so he simply came down early to protect the people who were working at that time."

"That's better..." Shao Jingxing murmured, "I'm going to retire anyway, it's not too bad a few years ago."

Huang Yu immediately laughed at his lack of common sense: "There is no difference, the treatment is much worse. They all live on retirement wages. Retiring at the age, is it the same as leaving early because of an accident?"

Huo Qing interrupted this very unpleasant topic: "Are you sure it's Chief Zhu's revision?"

"Chief Zhu's wife said it himself." Ji Xiaojiu sighed again, "Chief Zhu is also kind-hearted. I think it's a pity that Yuan Fei's dismissal is a bit pitiful. Who knew he would do such a thing..."

Huang Yu muttered: "Mr. Zhu is just too kind..."

"Chief Zhu didn't know he was going to do something bad." Ji Xiaojiu defended himself.

Shao Jingxing was despised for his lack of common sense just now, so he dared not speak now.But when he listened, he always felt that something was wrong: "Then Chief Zhu didn't find out later?"

According to Ji Xiaojiu, Yuan Fei told Chief Zhu that he was looking for a job. He was afraid that if there were mistakes in the file, it would be affected. Then Chief Zhu should find a way to change the file for him. Why did he take away the special affairs department? What about the file records?What kind of job is Yuan Fei looking for, and is he eligible to go to the Special Affairs Division to review files?

What's more, the removal of files and records was done so carefully. Not only did Yuan Fei's files be removed, but other records related to him were also changed a lot, almost erasing all traces of Yuan Fei's existence.Since it is so important, did Chief Zhu not ask Yuan Fei to find a job later?

"Chief Zhu is not in good health." Ji Xiaojiu said casually, "One time I injured my lungs when I was on a mission in the world of mountains and seas, and I basically just sat in the office later on. Plus, it would be aggrieved to retire like that, no They will be gone in a few years."

Maybe he was overthinking?After thinking about it, Shao Jingxing put the matter aside: "Then how should we rectify it? Chief Zhu is gone..."

"Let's rectify those who are still there." Ji Xiaojiu pulled the corners of her mouth down, "Look, everyone is in trouble this time."

Shao Jingxing didn't quite understand why he was bothering, but when it came to the meeting, he knew that what Ji Xiaojiu said was true.

This time the meeting was not in the last meeting room, and we changed to a bigger place, but because the lighting was not as good as that one, and it was just catching up with the bad weather, it looked particularly gloomy.

The conference room was full this time, and Shao Jingxing felt dizzy at the first glance, as if he had entered the lecture theater in college again, and he suddenly felt physiological fear.

But he soon forgot his fear of reading, because after everyone sat down, besides Qi Tongmin and Yang Shuming came in from the door.

"He's the leader of the supervision team?" Shao Jingxing wished that his ears were broken and he heard it wrong.Moreover, what does this supervisory team mean? Is it going to be the master of the special affairs department?

What Yang Shuming said next confirmed his guess—Qi Tongmin wanted to rectify the internal discipline of the Special Affairs Department. This is a very important matter, so he can't take care of other things for the time being. The team leader has temporarily taken the post of section chief.

Of course, that's not what it says, but that's what it means.

"He's the chief of the section?" Shao Jingxing couldn't believe it, "Just because of Yuan Fei, this is the removal of section chief Qi?" He said to rectify discipline, but Yang Shuming also said that the supervision team should also punish the special Every member of the affairs department conducts an investigation, so who is going to rectify this discipline?Isn't Qi Tongmin unable to do anything?

Shao Jingxing is not the only one discussing below.Yang Shuming had just finished announcing, and there was a buzzing sound from below. Shao Jingxing also heard some people cursing in a low voice, and a few young people in the second group seemed to want to jump up and talk, but Qi Tongmin used them severely. His eyes pressed down.

"Uncle Gu—" Huang Yu couldn't help it anymore, "This is too..."

"Don't be impulsive." Gu Sheng's voice was steady, as if he had expected this to happen a long time ago, "It's also right to rectify discipline. If you don't violate discipline, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Shuming was probably waiting to turn his head up, because he stood there after speaking, looking at the people sitting below, as if he was waiting for someone to jump up and catch them.

But although the humming sound continued, no one stood up.Yang Shuming waited for a long time, but not only did no one jump out, but even the discussion disappeared.The entire conference room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, coupled with the dim light, it felt very depressing.The people sitting below were like rows of stones, silent and hard.

Yang Shuming stood on the stage for a long time. He was quite majestic at first, but later he couldn't get off the stage.Ordinarily, after the leader has finished speaking, if there is no objection, then everyone should applaud meaningfully.But now there is no movement, and there are rows of stones below, making it seem like there are stones on the stage, which is not worthy of people's reaction.

"If you understand everything, starting tomorrow, the supervision team will talk to people one by one." Yang Shuming added another sentence, but this sentence was like water being poured on a stone, and there was no reaction at all, and the people below just looked at it like that stared at him as if she hadn't heard him speak at all.

Yang Shuming's complacency when he came here has completely disappeared now. After standing for a long time, he could only turn to Qi Tongmin: "Chief Qi, do you have anything else to say?"

Qi Tongmin smiled, stood up and said, "Since Team Leader Yang is fine, let's end the meeting."

Then with a bang, all the people stood up and rushed out. The tables and chairs in the meeting room rang together, and even Yang Shuming's words behind him were covered.

Although it was as hard as a rock in the meeting room, everyone outside the meeting room couldn't help discussing quietly.Shao Jingxing followed Huo Qing, and said worriedly, "How can we rectify this?" He just entered the special affairs department, so why did he encounter rectification?

"What are you afraid of?" Huang Yu rolled his eyes at him, "You just came here, and I can't find you if you have violated discipline. It's nothing more than asking you a few questions."

"Where's Uncle Gu?" Shao Jingxing subconsciously wanted to find a backbone, but he turned around but didn't see Gu Sheng.

Ji Xiaojiu said in a low voice: "Uncle Gu and Section Chief Qi quietly walked away just now..." It must be to discuss countermeasures.

Gu Sheng did go to another corridor with Qi Tongmin, and when he saw no one around, Qi Tongmin smiled slightly: "Old Gu, look, I told you, right? The Gonggong faction is going to make a move."

Gu Sheng looked at him, and said after a while, "This matter was given to them internally."

"Even if Yuan Fei's file is not erased, what's the difference?" Qi Tongmin asked, "It was these young people who discovered Yuan Fei's behavior by accident. Can it be avoided?"

Gu Sheng's eyes flickered a little: "If we found out earlier, maybe Wu Mo and the others wouldn't have died."

"If it wasn't for them, the rift wouldn't collapse." Qi Tongmin said flatly, "Yuan Fei gave them a way to stabilize the rift, and they cut corners and ended up harming others and themselves. Even if they don't die, they still have to bear legal responsibility .”

"But it may not be the death penalty, right?" Gu Sheng also asked, "And it is not the same thing to be sentenced to kill Yuan Fei privately according to the law."

"If the judgment was made according to the law, the old Section Chief Zhu wouldn't have to retire early, and even Yuan Fei wouldn't be dismissed." Qi Tongmin snorted lightly, "Old Gu, you are a real well-behaved person, but it's a pity that others don't necessarily follow the rules."

Gu Sheng seemed to have something to say, but when he was still hesitating, Qi Tongmin had already said, "What do you think Yang will do next?"

This topic interrupted what Gu Sheng wanted to say: "I guess we have to talk one by one."

Qi Tongmin waved his hand: "I didn't mean that. What's so great about talking, they are going to enter the world of mountains and seas."

Gu Sheng frowned: "Enter the world of mountains and seas? What are you doing?"

"First use the reason of checking the fixed doors everywhere." Qi Tongmin shrugged, "As for what to do when you go in, then I don't know. I guess if you can't get out, you still have to find a hole."

Gu Sheng's expression became even uglier: "They still want to—"

"Old Gu——" Qi Tongmin sighed, "You think too much about people's interests. When did they give up this idea? I told you before that the eyes must be held in our hands. You always yes……"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment before saying: "But the more frequently you enter the world of mountains and seas, the easier it is for the barrier to collapse."

Qi Tongmin spread his hands: "If we don't enter now, someone will enter. And this crack collapse just gave them an excuse to find the hole - if they don't find the hole, there may be more and more cracks in the future. By then Once the enchantment is completely collapsed, we will have no ability to resist, so we must hold the eyes of the array in our hands, so that we can better separate the two worlds when necessary..."

He imitated someone's voice with a slightly sarcastic tone, which made Gu Sheng's face darken even more.

"You guys——" Qi Tongmin sighed, "You are the same as old Chief Zhu, you are too cautious, and you think too much of others. It’s not okay to just pass by like this. Besides, Lao Gu, don’t you think so? Do you think there have been more cracks in the past few years than before?"

Gu Sheng's expression froze.In fact, he has also considered this issue, and it is what they, the anti-communist workers, are most worried about-the enchantment has gone through thousands of years, and it is really going to be unable to support it.

"So I think this is actually an opportunity." Qi Tongmin's tone was very relaxed, "They want to find it, so we can find it too. In the past, we couldn't go deep into the world of mountains and seas, mainly because the logistics supplies couldn't keep up, but isn't it different now? ?”

Gu Sheng looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but Qi Tongmin had already snatched a chuckle before him: "Old Gu, to put it bluntly, if Deputy Director He Feng had no accident, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us this time. ah."
