Qi Hongyi quietly listened to the members of the "Reading Club" narrate the information they got. As usual, there were books on the bookshelves in the Nanjing Reading Club, but there was always an open bottle of wine on the table. Although he wanted to generously say, "Wei Kun did a good job," it became, "I didn't expect Wei Kun to have such insight."
After saying this, Qi Hongyi couldn't help but feel jealous. Vézé's son and Qi Hongyi's son did not have an absolutely overlapping relationship, not to mention that even if all the children had the same father and mother, they were not equal. In order to ease his dissatisfaction, Qi Hongyi picked up a glass of tequila and took a sip. This was not a high-concentration distilled tequila. The alcohol content was less than 20, so Qi Hongyi only commented, "The taste is very special."
The most recent wine that caused this group of aunties to marvel was absinthe. The group that adopted the sharing system was really knowledgeable when it came to wine. The evaluation led by Qi Hongyi was unanimously agreed by everyone. It was not flattery, but true approval. As for the supplier, he didn't feel embarrassed. Everyone had the experience of the wine not being praised. The aunty, whose family was serving as an envoy in Mexico, said lightly, "When I get a high degree of distilled tequila, I will bring it to everyone to taste."
"I heard that the banknotes to be used in East Africa have begun to be designed, and it will not be long before they are shipped to East Africa. The exchange rate between East African banknotes and Renminbi is 10: 1. Ten East African banknotes can be exchanged for one RMB. "Someone continued to provide information.
"Why? Isn't one to one good? Their money is cheaper. Does East Africa want to show respect to the natives? "The aunties were very puzzled.
Qi Hongyi was not interested in these topics. No matter how clear the details were, they were just details. There was only one problem at the moment. Li Yifang's son began to take power in East Africa in a very short time. Although the road to power was long and arduous, Wei Kun still managed to seize power. More importantly, Wei Kun's backer was Wei Kun's father, Vézé.
However, Qi Hongyi could not find a way to resolve the displeasure in his heart. As a professor in the Department of History, Qi Hongyi knew better than anyone else that once a country's political power began to operate, it would be like a rolling giant wheel. Only when the regime itself was weak and powerless, and the ruler did not have a firm will or a clear goal, would the harem have a chance to stop the policies decided by the central government. The current Chinese Min dynasty and the ruler of the Min dynasty, Vézé, were both very powerful. Therefore, Qi Hongyi could only watch as the policy led by Wei Kun was completed step by step.
After reading so many history books and discussing it with Vézé, Qi Hongyi knew that the rise of any political entity depended on the strengthening of financial and military power. Even if Wei Kun did not intend to become king in Africa, his accumulated experience was also a very important bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that could make the central government approve of him.
"Your Qi Rui has been on the newspapers several times recently. As the chief of staff, he performed very well in major battles. Hongyi, your son is really promising. He is completely different from the one in our family who only knows how to run around with his wife all day long. " The aunties were talking about these family matters. Other people's children were glorious, but their own children were full of shortcomings.
However, these words greatly touched Qi Hongyi's heart. Qi Hongyi did not care much about Qi Rui's succession. No matter how much Wei Kun developed, few people in China cared about Africa, and Qi Rui, who fought in North America, was the one who made the greatest contribution. However, Wei Kun had a son, and this guy's wife gave birth to a boy. This was Vézé's first grandson. If Vézé officially announced the royal inheritance law, and Wei Rui remained single …
"Parents really worry for a lifetime. When they are young, they have to raise them. When they are grown up, they worry about their jobs and families." After venting his frustration, Qi Hongyi picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
As soon as Qi Hongyi put down the glass, someone pushed the door open and came in. Everyone relaxed at first glance. It was one of the members of the Reading Club, Su Shunchang's wife. Usually, when the Reading Club held activities, Qi Hongyi or other people would never sigh about their children. Su Shunchang's wife gave birth to four children, three boys and one girl. The eldest one was honest and hardworking. After graduating from Nanjing Petroleum Institute, he went to work in the oil field in Sumatra and had been promoted to a very high position. His daughter lived a mediocre life after she got married. The remaining two boys were really rich playboys. They could not do anything and could not get enough of anything.
It was also because Su Shunchang and his wife were both 'revolutionary heroes' that they had their own revolutionary allowance. Because of this, the Su family was able to live a good life. But when other second generations were living a prosperous life, or simply began to rise, the Su family had already embarked on the road of decline. Everyone could understand Su Shunchang's wife's complaints.
But soon they saw that Su Shunchang's wife was in a state of tension. She did not even take a breath after coming in. She asked directly, "Does anyone know someone from the Purge Committee?"
The name of the Purge Committee made the aunties look at each other. The name "Special Committee to Purge Counter-Revolutionaries" came to the mind of some knowledgeable people. But even though they knew the full name, they did not know how this special committee operated. The only thing the aunties knew was that this organization had a strong power. In many cases, this committee with a strong military background could kill people. For a country ruled by law like the Min dynasty, such an organization was naturally full of terror.
"Someone in your family was taken away by the Purge Committee?" asked an aunty.
Qi Hongyi listened quietly. He did not want to speak at all. Among these people, Qi Hongyi was probably the only one who could get in touch with the Purge Committee. But Qi Hongyi knew how Vézé had spent so much effort to establish this organization, so Qi Hongyi did not want to touch this organization at all. In order for her son, Qi Rui, to smoothly ascend to the peak of power, Qi Hongyi did not want to anger Vézé.
At this time, Su Shunchang's wife was already in tears. "Our third son was suddenly taken away today. The person who took him left us an official document. I thought it was the police, but I didn't expect it to be the Purge Committee. My third son can't be a counter-revolutionary! The Purge Committee must have made a mistake. "
Qi Hongyi felt even more uneasy when he saw Su Shunchang's aunty staring at him. Although there were not many princes in history who had lost their position because of their mothers, there were still some. In this regard, Qi Hongyi did not want to repeat the same mistake. What's more, Qi Hongyi knew the Purge Committee's target. Those who opposed Vézé and the Min dynasty were the targets of the Purge Committee. Everything Qi Hongyi had came from Vézé and the Min dynasty. She did not want to save them at all.
"Redness, can you find someone to ask what exactly happened? If they took the wrong person, can you release my third son quickly? "Su Shunchang's aunty finally asked Qi Hongyi.
Qi Hongyi shook his head. "It's not good for me to do this. If Vézé is still in Nanjing, I can have the courage to go to him directly. Now that Vézé is not in Nanjing, if I go to do things on my own, I don't know whether he will recognize me or not. If Vézé knows that I have done such a thing, I won't have the courage to see him. "
Before Su Shunchang's aunty could speak, the other aunties around her said, "Yes, it's not convenient for Hongyi to act now."
Su Shunchang's aunty was also an old member. She knew what everyone here could do on a daily basis. Qi Hongyi really did not dare to go to Vézé for personal matters, so it was expected that he would not help now. So she said anxiously, "I just want everyone to help me find out what happened to my third son. Can you help me find out? "
This was not an excessive request, and the aunties also expressed their agreement. They drank the rest of the wine, and the party immediately dispersed. The aunties, whether sincere or not, began to act.
Not only the aunties, but the uncles also began to act. As a revolutionary hero, Su Shunchang, like most revolutionary heroes, had military experience. So Su Shunchang went straight to his old boss, Lei Hu. Seeing Lei Hu, who had retired to the second line, Su Shunchang immediately begged after explaining the situation, "Lei Seigneur, I beg you to help me. It would be best if you can save him, but if you think you can't, can you give me an accurate information? Don't let me worry about you all the time. "
Lei Hu was surprised but also vigilant. As the core of the old guys, they naturally knew what kind of powerful department the "Special Committee for Eliminating Counter-Revolutionaries" was. Committees were very common in the current Min dynasty, but there were not many that were named special committees. These departments that openly showed their non-standard characteristics naturally had their own characteristics.
"I … can only ask." However, in the end, Lei Hu still gave an explanation to his old subordinate, because Lei Hu also felt that there should not be any counter-revolutionaries in the second generation.
General Lei Hu made a call and received a call back not long after. It was a deputy director of the Special Committee. The deputy director was very polite. In addition to showing his respect for General Lei Hu, he also told Lei Hu very softly. Lei Hu summed it up as, "This is confidential. No matter who you are, shut up!"
For so many years, Lei Hu had never seen a powerful department say such arrogant words to a founding general. But Lei Hu found that he had no other way but to admit it in a short period of time. Since it was a special committee, there must be something special about it. For example, the Elimination Committee was directly under the leadership of the Central Committee. In other words, purely from the perspective of rank, the Elimination Committee was the same as the Military Commission, which was directly under the leadership of the Central Committee. That was to say, the Military Commission was not qualified to give orders to the Elimination Committee.
Now a considerable part of the Military Commission had gone to Beijing with the Military Governor Vaize. Lei Hu had no choice but to call Lin Asheng, the head of the public security organ, the people's procuratorate and the people's court. When Lin Asheng heard that it was Lei Hu who wanted to know the truth because he was not convinced, he was silent for a long time.
"I just want to get some information. Old Lin, will you help me or not?" Lei Hu could not bear it and asked on the phone.
