District 9

Yanbei, inside the villa.

Meng Xi looked at Qin Yu and replied softly: "From three points, we can judge that it is impossible for the Lu family to be on good terms with us."

"Which three points?" Qin Yu asked.

"First, the incident in Tongchuan Town was originally just a matter of recruiting recruits in a battalion. It involved less than 500 people, and only one of our officers was injured. It was such a small friction. Logically speaking, it would not cause any problems at all. The regional department paid attention and the troops dealt with it privately. But Shen Wanzhou asked the foreign-related department of the Military and Political Headquarters to intervene, and also got the Ninth District Security Bureau to get involved, and even mobilized the sand troops in Zangyuan. So what did he do? Why?" Meng Xi frowned and said, "It's very simple, he is trying to win over the warlords headed by Lu Bosen."

"Everyone can see this." Qin Yu replied calmly.

"But there is a key point here." Meng Xi replied.

"What's the key point?"

"Shen Xi's doing this can show that Lu Xi has a political stance, and Shen Wanzhou has never been sure that he can win over Lu Berson, otherwise he would not be able to use the regional department to support him." Meng Xi said with sharp eyes: " And Shen Wanzhou will definitely guess that we can't give in on the Tongchuan Town matter. Therefore, the attitude he wants to express is obvious, that is: You see that the Sichuan government is starting to fight with your Lu clique, I am the first It took time for the Security Bureau and the foreign affairs department to intervene, although even so the Sichuan government would not give them face...but I, Shen Wanzhou, tried my best."

When Qin Yu heard this, he also started thinking in another direction: "You continue."

"Secondly, in the past few years, the Lu family has been on good terms with the Ninth District World War II District. Not only did Lu Bosen interact frequently with Commander Zhou at various meetings, but Lu Jiadu was also with Wu Di and Zheng Qian. At least in the eyes of outsiders, these two major forces wear the same pants." Meng Xi looked at Qin Yu and continued: "But after the conflict in Tongchuan Town, why didn't the Lu clan ask the World War II area to come forward to mediate? Could it be that they Do you really want to fight with the Sichuan government because of the strength of one battalion? Isn’t this too childish?!"

Qin Yu nodded slowly.

"Third, after Ai Zhen was shot by people from Hongfei Security Company, our commander-in-chief's attitude was very tough. After all, the other party injured our officer, so we have to give an explanation, but what happened next The reaction was very strange. Not only did they not say a good word on this matter, but they also negotiated with us with the same tough attitude, without any intention of giving in. To put it bluntly, they are not afraid of offending us." Meng Xi said with very clear thinking. : "The situation in District 9 is so chaotic now, and the strength of his Lu faction's troops is not the best, so why does he have to turn against us just because of the strength of a battalion? Isn't he afraid that he will fall into a dangerous situation?"

Qin Yu listened to Meng Xi's words and nodded thoughtfully.

"These three points can actually be summed up in one sentence. First, Shen Wanzhou is wooing the Lu clique, which can even be said to be flattering. Second, after Lao He's death, the relationship between the Lu clique and the Ninth District World War II Zone changed instantly. We must be indifferent. Third, the Lu family is not afraid of offending us, and is even hostile to us." Meng Xi raised three fingers: "It's so complicated in the ninth district now. How come the Lu family, which is not top-notch, has no relationship with anyone? Not close?"

Qin Yu immediately replied after hearing this: "Because they already have a very solid military alliance secretly."

"Yes, and the Lu Clan's military alliance should not have a good impression of our Sichuan government." Meng Xi said with firm eyes: "So, it is impossible for us to be on good terms with the Lu Clan, let alone win them over. , because they already have a clear political stance and joint targets. If you don’t fight the rebels like Hongfei Security, it will not have any impact on the results."

Qin Yu's eyes when he looked at Meng Xi had changed. He was both appreciative and wary. Because he still hasn't figured out the past and present life of Meng Xi, and he doesn't know his details. Moreover, he can see the cards in District 9 so thoroughly, which means that the homework he has done secretly is unimaginable for ordinary people, at least. He has been eyeing District 9 for several years.

Qin Yu thought about it for a long time: "In your opinion, who are the allies of the Lu family?"

"The party government is unlikely." Meng Xi thought for a moment and replied: "Because there are various signs that after Lao He's death, the leader of the party and government, Lao Xiang, was very supportive of Shen Wanzhou, so the Lu family should have nothing to do with them. .”

"Is it them?" Qin Yu suddenly said.

"My guess is this, it should be them." Although Qin Yu's words were not clear, Meng Xi replied tacitly.

Qin Yu's thoughts were completely opened. He blinked and said again: "If this is the case, then the previous contact between the Lu clan and the World War II zone... was probably with a purpose, or was it a set-up?"

"Yes, I have indeed thought about this." Meng Xi nodded: "In order to win over the Feng family, Shen Wanzhou gave a large number of officer promotion quotas to the Feng family's children, thereby offending the Lu family... In my opinion, this The operation is very confusing to watch. Because the Lu family is a force in the First War Zone, even if you want to win over Feng Chengzhang, there is no need to offend the warlords under your jurisdiction."

Qin Yu nodded slowly: "If you look at it this way, Shen Wanzhou deliberately pushed Lu Xi out, and Lu Xi was willing to cooperate with him."

"Yes, because at that time, that man was still alive, and Lu Xi listened to him, so he deliberately contacted Commander Zhou in the World War II zone, hoping to ostensibly unite with the World War II zone, and then stab Commander Zhou at the critical moment." Meng Xi slowly said Said: "In this way, the Feng clique has been won over, and the Lu clique can still play a role, not only paralyzing Commander Zhou, but also stabbing the knife in the dark. In the end, the World War II zone will be in a losing situation. But... this The man died before the plan was fully effective."

After Qin Yu and Meng Xi talked to this point, all their thoughts were smoothed out: "Yes, the Lu family had these purposes in mind when they first came into contact with the World War II zone."

At this point, the identity of that person was revealed.

Former Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs of the Ninth District, congratulations!

"Lao He is still capable, but he was tricked by Shen Wanzhou, an ally with wolfish ambitions." Meng Xi sighed and said: "Although I don't know the inside story of the assassination in the ninth district, I always thought that Lao He In the end, he did not die at the hands of Director Wu..."

Qin Yu knew something about the inside story, because Director Wu and Wu Di had both told him, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Lao He was able to run away at first, but he was shot to death on the way out."

"Pretty much what I thought."

"Meng Xi!" Qin Yu turned to look at him: "If our analysis is correct, what do you think the Sichuan government should do?"

"After Lao He's death, the ambitions of various warlord forces have been revealed. He is now a little unable to withstand the internal pressure and it is difficult to stabilize the chessboard of the nine districts, so he is eager to establish our Sichuan government as the common enemy of the nine districts. . I suspect that the assassination cases of Director Li and Zheng Ya were caused by them. The purpose was to cause conflict between Feng Xi and Zheng Kai. When we have a choice, we will inevitably offend one family. Including this Tongchuan incident, I even think someone might be trying to make a fuss..." Meng Xi thought for a moment and said, "So, if we don't want to be this imaginary enemy, we must divide the warlord forces within the ninth district."

"What's the specific method?"

"Beifengkou, Wu's mercenary group!" Meng Xi replied crisply.

When Qin Yu heard this, he fell into deep thought.

…

after an hour.

Meng Xi was arranged to go to his residence by the guards. He and Qin Yu hadn't finished talking yet, and they would continue talking tomorrow.

After arriving at the residence, Meng Xi was bored by being alone. After taking a shower, he borrowed a military vehicle from the guard and wandered around Yanbei City.

By some mistake, Meng Xi drove his car to the gate of a villa on Fengling Road in Chaonan District.

This villa covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters. The entrance decoration is mainly in ancient style. It has a bluestone platform, two lion statues, and a large copper iron door. It looks very grand. I think it was also the residence of a powerful family in the past.

The main entrance of Bieyuan is sealed, and the surrounding streets and courtyard are covered with snow. The paint on the walls and eaves is mottled. It seems that no one has lived there for many years.

Meng Xi got out of the car and looked at Bieyuan blankly, with red eyes, recalling many things in his mind...

In the villa, Qin Yu took the phone and said to Ma Laoer: "I'll give you a job. I'll do everything possible to find out Meng Xi's information, but it must be kept strictly confidential!"
