Chapter 1685 Evening Drums and Morning Bells

As the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Fengliao Province, Li Hongliang was in charge of the judicial system. Naturally, he had some practical information in his hands. Although times had changed, he still had a certain deterrent effect on Wang Foye.

If it was someone else who took out these things, Lord Wang Fo might not be too scared.

But Liu Fusheng has a strong background and can hand over these things to Yanjing anytime and anywhere and put them on the desk of the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection...

There was a long silence in the hall.

Wang Foye stared at the information, squinted his eyes, and said nothing.

Liu Fusheng quietly waited for the outcome of the matter without urging.

After a long time, Wang Foye let out a sigh.

Liu Fusheng slowly said: "Uncle Wang, we have a good friendship. There is no need to go to the point of death, right?"

Wang Foye breathed out gently, twisted his beads and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Liu Fusheng said: "The integration of Fengfu and Fu has become an established fact. Uncle Wang is under great pressure now. I estimate that about half a year is the limit of what you can support, and I will never commit any crime in half a year." mistake."

Wang Foye nodded: "In that case, why did you take out these things?"

Liu Fusheng sighed: "I want to save you."

Wang Foye stopped what he was doing: "Save me?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I know very well that after the integration of Fengliao Province, Uncle Wang will not be willing to have his power taken away by me. If you fight with me, it will not be good for you, for me, for the officialdom and the people of Fengliao Province. It’s no good… I can only go to other places across mountains and seas by ferrying you.”

Liu Fusheng said these words with profound meaning, and Wang Foye also understood the implication.

"What? Do you still want to save others?"

Liu Fusheng sighed: "Master Guanyin saves all sentient beings, walks across the sea, and looks at the world. I don't have this kind of ideological realm. But as a civil servant, wherever the country needs me to go, I will definitely go wherever it is my duty to go."

Wang Foye pondered: "You want to leave Fengliao?"

Liu Fusheng said nothing.

Wang Foye shook his head and said: "You are destined to leave here, why are you still making things difficult for me?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle Wang, it's not that I'm embarrassing you, but that you want to embarrass the people of Fengliao Province... At the time, Lu Chake, Hu Sanguo, Wang Foye, and Li Qizhi were in charge of the official circles of Fengliao Province. Clouds cover your hands and become rain."

"In order to win, no matter whether you are active or passive, you must use your tactics to the extreme, so that you do many wrong things."

"The city of Fuyuan under the control of Uncle Hub is a mess. Lu Chake and Xiang Dong are in cahoots with each other. They are willing to betray the interests of the country for their own selfish interests. As for you, Uncle Wang, you are obviously capable of launching an all-round struggle against them. Imagine money and power.”

"Now that three of the four have gone, does Uncle Wang still want to stick to the original style? Look, what have those people you promoted and re-appointed done in key positions in the province? It is beneficial to the country. People, or corpses?"

"They know that with your care, they will rise to the top. They will do things for you, be loyal to you, and be more efficient than anything else."

"As for the people? Their power comes from you, how can you care about the life and death of the people? The people who serve the people, I am afraid I also refer to you, Secretary Wang!"

"Uncle Wang, whether it's for the sake of the country, the people, or yourself, I think you should stop."

Liu Fusheng's words can be said to be heart-breaking every word.

He originally didn't want to take things so seriously. After all, Wang Foye held huge power and had intricate connections. It would be too dangerous to directly remove Wang Foye.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Once a breakthrough was made in matters in eastern Guangdong Province, the Bai family and the Tang family would launch an all-out struggle.

Liu Fusheng knew very well that there was not much time left for him.

Fengliao Province's many back-ups must be activated, including dealing with Wang Foye, and the mess must be cut quickly.

If Wang Foye does not repent in front of the Buddha, then Liu Fusheng will definitely make him pay a heavy price.

However, Liu Fusheng knew very well that the consequences of forcibly killing Wang Foye would be that the officialdom of Fengliao Province would usher in huge turmoil, and many people around him would be destroyed.

Those who bear the brunt of the attack in the province are Qi Wei, Xu Youwen, Lu Heming... and even Li Hongxin. They will all face strong retaliation.

Sun Hai, Lu Zhigao, Wang Weiguang, Ye Yunze and others from Fuyuan will also be implicated, and even retired Hu Sanguo and Li Hongliang may not be spared.

If given the choice, Liu Fusheng certainly wouldn't want to pay this price.

……

When Liu Fusheng spoke, he did not look at Wang Foye, but kept staring at the Guanyin crossing the sea in front of him.

He knew in his heart that whether the catastrophe in Fengliao Province could be resolved would depend on tonight's conversation.

Wang Foye next to him was also weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The two were silent for a long time, until the melodious bells rang in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

Hearing this voice, Wang Foye was suddenly shocked.

Liu Fusheng grinned. He knew that the person ringing the bell must be the presiding monk.

Wang Foye stood up and walked towards the stairs. Liu Fusheng followed closely. During the walk, neither of them spoke.

On the second floor of the main hall, on the outside platform.

The setting sun is about to sink into the horizon, and its last afterglow exudes a warm and dazzling light.

The old monk stood on the bell tower and struck the copper bell time and time again.

The melodious bells, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, made Liu Fusheng and Wang Foye feel many thoughts in their hearts.

Liu Fusheng said: "The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening alert the world. Uncle Wang, listen to the bells and look at the setting sun. In the second half of life, fame, fortune and wealth are all in the past. Peace of mind is what we all want."

Wang Foye looked at the figure of the old monk and said, "Senior brother is trying to persuade me to do good and to free me."

When the Master of Wet Dreams saw the two coming, he stopped ringing the bell, turned around, and clasped his hands together.

Liu Fusheng and Wang Foye also clasped their hands and returned the salute to the old monk.

The difference was that after Liu Fusheng returned the bow, he straightened up, but Wang Foye could not bow.

Liu Fusheng thought for a while, turned around and left the second floor, followed the steps back to the first floor of the Main Hall.

This time, he stood in front of Sakyamuni Buddha and waited for about ten minutes.

There was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs.

Lord Buddha Wang returned to the Mahavira Hall.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "When I was planning the construction of the Jade Buddha Temple, I specially carved the face of the Jade Buddha to be 70-80% similar to Uncle Wang. This behavior was not only to gain Uncle Wang's favor, but also my sincere hope. "Uncle Wang, you can save all sentient beings with compassion on your face."

Wang Foye came to Liu Fusheng's side and raised his head to look at the Jade Buddha, which was similar to himself: "Did you expect today's situation at that time?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "How could it be?"

These four words are lies.

The truth is that Liu Fusheng did have a complete plan for the Heaven Ascension Bureau many years ago.

The first step is to take advantage of the situation and capture Lu Chake. The second step is to persuade him to retreat or force himself to take down Hu Sanguo.

The last person is Wang Foye.

If he wins, nothing can be said. If he fails, this jade Buddha is his last hope for Wang Foye - for the sake of this incense, at least leave a way to survive, right?
