Chapter 1256: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 61 (Part 1)

The lights were turned on, and in the family area located in the east of the upper level, most of the families gathered in the big family tonight, gathering in unison.

The voice of resistance against the family arrived tonight. Most people in the city have spontaneously boycotted everything about the family. All this is because the Chen family won today. From the lawsuit in the morning, the mood of the city people The reluctance and frustration at the beginning completely turned into anger.

Most of the family members gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Because of the trial results this morning, the anger of the city people was ignited, and the long-simmering anger and dissatisfaction against the family completely exploded.

This long-standing backlog of conflicts has turned into large-scale boycotts in various places, and it is no longer simply an issue of violent marriage.

At this time, a large number of people spontaneously gathered outside the door of a nightclub. There were people from 5 departments watching. Just now, a group of people blocked the door of this family-run nightclub and surrounded it. The person in charge of the shop They reported the crime directly, and the people from Section 5 came over and asked them to disperse. In the end, these people were still standing in twos and threes at the door of the store.

People in Section 5 can only watch from the sidelines. As long as they don't cause a disturbance, they won't care. There is no one in the nightclub except the staff.

People are talking about the family everywhere on the streets, on the Internet, and in TV programs. Some of the more sensational crimes committed by the family in the past years are constantly being uncovered.

Most of the families are discussing countermeasures. If the boycott continues, some families will almost be unable to bear it.

A lift landed silently on the lawn of Abron's house. At this time, at the door of the mansion, Freya looked at the lift in the distance with a slightly angry expression. Next to her, the housekeeper Cheng Li With a solemn expression, he moved closer.

"Madam, please don't blame the eldest lady, today is the day after all"

"No matter what, Michelle didn't even say a word to me when she went out today. The things she was supposed to complete today have been backlogged."

Cheng Li frowned slightly, and she couldn't stand it, because Freya was too harsh on Michelle, so harsh that even the people in the mansion couldn't stand it, and felt sad for this young lady.

"I know what you want to say Cheng Li, Michelle is only a 3-year-old child, but as the saying goes, you look at your age at the age of 3. If she doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't like in the future, and she doesn't want to enter a profit-seeking circle in the future. , she must have enough strength.”

In the distance, Charles, accompanied by the butler Chongming and a kind of bodyguard, came over with Michelle in his arms. Both father and daughter seemed to be smiling.

"Are you having fun Michelle?"

Michelle nodded, and Charles asked next.

"Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

At this time, the smile on Michelle's face disappeared, and Charles also noticed his wife standing at the door, and he put Michelle down.

"Sorry Freya, I forgot to take my phone with me when I went out."

While Charles was speaking, he watched Chongming walk aside. She walked straight over and stretched out a hand. Chongming became embarrassed, and the ease on Charles' face disappeared.

"Don't play such little tricks with me Charles, Michelle, come up with me."

Charles was about to grab Michelle, but she had already followed. Freya took the phone from Chongming's hand and threw it to Charles opposite.

"Wait Freya!"

Charles stopped his wife and walked over quickly. At this time, Freya looked extremely angry.

"Michelle is still a child!"

"Just because they are children."

Freya said, holding Michelle's hand, and quickly returned to the study. Michelle lowered her head, with a cold expression on her face.

"Hands out."

Michelle obediently stretched out her hands.

Snapped

Freya held a cane in her hand and slapped Michelle's hand hard. She lowered her head and said nothing, nor did she cry.

"Do you know why I hit you? Michelle."

Michelle nodded.

"What you should have done today has not been completed. In the next few days, I hope you will increase your efforts every day until you have completed what you should have done today."

Michelle nodded sensibly. Charles couldn't stand it any longer and walked into the house quickly, snatching the cane from Freya's hand.

"Are you crazy?"

Michelle stared at Charles coldly.

"You won't understand Charles, go back to your room Michelle."

Michelle turned around and walked slowly away. Only then did tears flow out. Cheng Li at the door immediately picked up Michelle and looked at the red marks on both of her palms.

"Miss, it's okay, it doesn't hurt!"

At this time Michelle began to cry loudly, and Charles' angry roar erupted in the room.

"What on earth do you want to do? She is only three years old, a three-year-old child, and you let her do it every day"

"What's wrong with the three-year-old? I only ask her to know 5 words every day, read some story books by herself, exercise moderately, eat and sleep on time and in the right amount! A 3-year-old child can do these things easily."

Charles knew these things, and his anger had calmed down a bit at this time. Seeing his wife's expression softening, he also put away his angry face.

"Feel sorry!"

Freya looked at Charles blankly.

"I won't change my education methods, Charles. You can take her to have fun, but please tell me first next time."

Charles hummed and walked over, gently pressing Freya's shoulder from behind.

"It's getting late. The guests at the banquet have already arrived. Charles, I have to prepare for the parliamentary exam in a few days."

Charles hummed and wanted to talk about the coins, but he gave up in the end. Freya was already sitting at the table. He didn’t know why Freya was disabled. The parliamentary exam that started on January 10th was as early as a few days ago. A few months ago, the eight major associations announced the matter of the parliamentary government system and the matter of the district power office.

Anyone who wants to become a member of the assembly must go to the local district office to take the assembly examination. The examination is conducted by the administrative department.

The exams for members of parliament are slightly different from those for the business department. Rights, economics, law, debate and the most scientific knowledge are the five required subjects. There is also an extra bonus subject with 5 points, which is about combat. Including the use of weapons and actual combat, examiners are sent by people from the acting department.

The questions for the MP exam are set by the eight major associations, and some questions will be automatically selected as this year's exam questions, with a perfect score of 100. In addition to the 5 major items, the combat bonus item is 5 points.

Only those who have passed the parliamentary examination can enter the district office, and then they need to go to the streets of the district to make speeches and canvass for votes. People over the age of 10 in each district have one vote.

Voters will have points, which can be redeemed for benefits within the district. Currently, water and electricity subsidies can be redeemed. Some subsidy projects will be launched in the future. If someone does not vote, they will be deemed to have voted after the vote. For abstaining votes.

There are 10 seats for members in each district, and the competition is quite fierce, but Charles knows very well that as long as she passes the exam, Freya will definitely be elected as the member of District 1. She is the president of the Medical Association, and she has done so in recent years. There are many things that most people know about her.

There will be a month-long voting period from February 1st to March 1st, and citizens in the area can vote for the person they support.

Even if those who pass the exam do not become members, they can become reserve members of the district office. A maximum of 40 district office staff are allowed in a district.

Once a member is elected, he can serve for three years and needs to be re-elected after three years. There are many things that a member can do, including speaking out in Congress on behalf of people in the area, managing the business, construction, welfare, and other matters in the area, and they can act on behalf of the people in the area. The department conducts cross-supervision because they all have access to the congressional system. Based on the length of service of the members, they can check many things at different levels. If any problems are found in the executive department, they can directly initiate congressional impeachment.

The last three days of each month are the days of city meetings. 1,200 councilors from 120 districts will step into the Congress Hall to discuss matters with the executive branch.

The city was about to undergo drastic changes again. Charles knew very well what his wife wanted to do. He glanced at his wife again, who was sitting at the table and looking at the light and shadow screen. He closed the door with a smile, and the thick-faced butler Chongming left. come over.

"Sir, the guests all want to talk to you."

Charles nodded.

"What do you think I should do?"

Chongming said with a smile.

"Just as always, master! After all, we are a family."

Charles smiled and nodded. He did not intend to compromise with Freya. He had to do it for the benefit of the entire family. He would discuss with several families tonight to finalize the marriage of his daughter Michelle.

7:13pm

Su Xin smiled playfully, holding a cardboard box in her hand. A large number of children were surrounding her, lining up in an orderly manner, with eyes full of anticipation.

"A person can only take one! You are not allowed to take more."

There were nearly 100 children of all sizes around. A little girl stretched out her hand and took out a small, square gift box from the box. She immediately ran to the side. After opening it, she shouted excitedly. It was a package. candy.

Many adults were watching nearby. Every New Year, Su Xin would prepare some small gifts for the children nearby. The children also liked her very much. At this time, Le Wen was already drunk in the house with some male neighbors nearby. Drunk, everyone was watching the news program.

Most of the channels tonight are about family stuff.

"He deserves it, this guy deserves it."

A drunk male neighbor in front of Le Wen said this, and others nodded in agreement. Le Wen smiled and shook his head. He wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

The city's construction and development over the years was inseparable from the family. Even though the family still controlled most of the city's industries for so many years, many things seemed less disturbing to Le Wen than everyone said.

Especially the two urban construction projects carried out by the Angus family. The first urban construction opened up the connections between 120 districts. Although the second construction was only partially completed, it was for the purpose of making the city more complete in the future. construction.

Many people consider the issues too one-sided, Le Wen smiled helplessly.

"Eat, don't worry about drinking."

Le Wen glanced at the children at the door who were still handing out gifts to the children. Like the children, his wife had an innocent smile on her face and was happily mingling with the children.

Because the Angus family's construction project has been completely stopped, Lewen's work has become a lot easier. He only goes to the factory area from time to time to help repair some equipment, and his life is very relaxed.

Le Wen really likes the atmosphere on the ground floor. The ground floor is not as bad as many people say. Public security has been getting better and better recently, and the crime rate has actually been effectively reduced.

The most important thing is that no one will judge everything with colored glasses. This is where Lewen feels very comfortable, so he lives on the bottom floor.

Food and supplies are very cheap, which is very suitable for Le Wen and Su Xin. Although the south was hit by the riots last year, and the impact was indeed great, it was not as serious as the outside world said.

Looking at the pile of children outside the house, Lewen was full of hope. Laughter was enough every day.

In Le Wen's view, although the children here are poor and sometimes do not have enough to eat, these children are more innocent and simple than many children in the middle and upper classes.

After a while, the children all received their gifts and happily gathered together to play. Su Xin gave them food and toys in a wide variety. Su Xin also finished her work. At this time, the neighbors We also planned to go back to our respective homes. It was already past 8pm.

This is the time when the family gets together and watches entertainment programs.

Looking at Su Xin who was clearing away the dishes with a smile on her face, Le Wen stood up and went over to help.

"Hey, let me tell you, should we go visit my mother's relatives over there tomorrow?"

Lewen stopped what he was doing.

"It's up to you."

"It's always like this, go ahead."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, but they still had not decided to have a child because Lewen had already made an appointment with some friends to start the prosthetic medical industry that he wanted to do when he saved enough money.

"When the time comes, you can come with me. It will only be a day of doing odd jobs every day."

Su Xin hummed.

"I hope that when our children are born in the future, they will see everything under the sun."

"Definitely."

8:55pm

In District 96, located on the bottom floor of the south, there was a carnival on the street. A man seemed drunk. However, at this moment, the man suddenly fell to the ground. People nearby thought the man was drunk, and no one paid attention to him.

The carnival was going on. On a cart pulled by many men in the area, a group of young dancers were dancing hard. At this time, someone saw that the man who fell to the ground was about to be wheeled. The child was crushed and someone shouted.

Someone hurried over and pulled the man up. However, the two people pulling the man felt something was wrong. One of them tested the man's breathing, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Call the doctor, call the doctor quickly."

After a while, the man was sent to the nearest medical center. The unconscious man's heartbeat and breathing were very weak. The doctor immediately found out that the man had metal poisoning. He hurriedly called a hospital that could perform this kind of surgery and gave him The man received a cardiotonic injection, but his heart rate and breathing were weak at this time, and his blood pressure was also somewhat low.

In just 3 minutes, doctors rushed over with equipment from a nearby hospital, but they were unable to save the life. The man eventually died of heart failure, and a variety of heavy metal substances were detected in his body.

People from Section 5 had already arrived and began to investigate, questioning the two men who brought the deceased.

One of the men named Li Fu said that they first saw the man fainting, and then when the carnival parade passed by, they helped the man up.

Recently, some patients with metal poisoning have appeared in the area from time to time. Several doctors at the clinic felt that something was wrong and reported it directly to Department 4.

Li Fu looked at the dead man quietly and felt something was wrong. Li Fu's wife also suffered from nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which was consistent with the symptoms of metal poisoning that the doctor said. After recording the transcript, Li Fu immediately Rush home.

Soon there was a dessert shop that was still open, and the wife, who looked fat and thick, was still selling desserts.

"Damn it, where have you been? You're so busy tonight."

His wife was holding her stomach and looking a little uncomfortable. Li Fu hurried over and was grabbed by his ear as soon as he entered.

"The dead ghost went to drink again. Don't you want to live anymore?"

Only then did Li Fu remember the metal poisoning, and hurriedly asked his wife if he needed to go have a look.

The wife immediately raised her arms even thicker than Li Fu's.

"I just had a bad stomach, it's nothing. Why don't you hurry up and make some noodles?"

Li Fu hurriedly walked to the back, but he was still worried. His wife was quite stubborn. She went to a relative's house a few days ago and ate spoiled food. She was later diagnosed with food poisoning. After a few days of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, she just had a slight stomachache. .

However, Li Fu always felt that things were strange, because recently he found that many people had symptoms of metal poisoning. He was always weak, often sweated, and had diarrhea from time to time. At first, Li Fu thought he had some infectious disease, but After diagnosis, there were no major problems.

"I hope it's okay!"

Li Fu said and turned on the faucet first. At this time, his stomach was burning. He took a glass of water. After drinking it, he felt much better. However, he always felt that the recent water tasted strange. However, when he thought of the construction in most parts of the south, , it should be caused by the construction relationship, so I didn’t think much about it.

In the dark night sky, several lifts flew over Area 96 and landed directly outside the water supply plant in an area. Marcus and C led people from various departments into the factory.

For a moment, the factory manager panicked and hurried over and looked at the people in the field with a confused look on his face.

"Sir, is there something wrong?"

c pinched his nose and said with a giggle.

"What a heavy metallic smell. Recently, many people in the nearby area and your area have been suspected of metal poisoning."

A drop of sweat ran down the forehead of the factory manager. He immediately acted like he was at a loss, but when he saw the business people about to walk into the factory, he hurriedly stopped them.

"Excuse me, my lords, do you have a search warrant?"

c directly showed the search warrant issued by Section 2 Chief R. The factory director panicked. Marcus had already led people into the factory. They entered the water treatment plant directly. At this time, many workers were still busy. .

It's just that the temperature in the factory is a bit high, and many of the equipment look old and haven't been replaced for at least decades.

Marcus took people directly to some treatment pools, took out equipment and started testing the water quality.

The entire water treatment plant is very large, with 20 pools. Water molecule absorbers are placed all over the area. After the solid water molecules are filled, someone will transport the water molecule absorbers to the factory, where they will be degraded through degradation. The reaction reduces the solid water to liquid water, and then adds minerals. After reaching the drinking water standard of Bright City, it is then delivered to every household.

Marcus looked at the tests in some of the pools in front of him. Although there were indeed some heavy metals, they did not reach the level of poisoning. However, these water treatment pools were all the latest. Marcus took a look and saw on the left A dilapidated gate, walked directly past.

"Master Marcus, is it okay?"

c had already walked over and kicked open the door. Marcus and others followed in. Inside were old-fashioned water treatment tanks. After a quick test, it was found that the content of heavy metals exceeded the standard.

The factory manager was panicked for a while. He looked at the water in the treatment pool. It was still being transported slowly. However, the old machines and old pipes next to it looked rusty. The source of the pollution had been identified. Recently, due to the southern The start of construction did cause some problems.

"This matter cannot be announced lightly."

c immediately said, Marcus nodded in agreement. The factory director had been handcuffed, and most of the people in the factory were called out. Many people said they had no idea what was going on. Most people Just do your usual work.

Pipes laid as early as half a century ago have been severely aged and damaged, and some pipes have even broken. Aging metal will take away some metal ions when water flows through them. These harmful metal ions will directly enter the human body through the water. In the body, metal poisoning will occur over time.

"Calling all the doctors in the areas where metal poisoning occurs, we can only wait until Angus's house starts construction, and then stop these water plants. During this period, the water supply will be intermittent."

c said, Marcus nodded. This is a very serious problem. The south has already experienced such a large-scale riot. It has only been five months since the riot. There cannot be any more problems now. The two have already planned to conceal the facts.

This is the safest approach at present. There are problems with water treatment plants in so many districts. Congress has clearly required them to replace water treatment equipment. Although some have been replaced, the problem of aging pipelines cannot be solved at present. It will take a while before construction can begin on the Angus home.

All we need to do is ask doctors to pay more attention to metal poisoning and treat metal poisoning. Now if the water plant completely stops rectification, millions of people will be short of water.

The climate circle that has been finally established will also have problems. Such losses are not something that Congress can bear at present. The free distribution of food and water in the past has caused heavy losses to Congress. This loss has delayed the entire construction project. .

"Is it really okay? Sister C."

Marcus was still a little unsure and asked again.

"These aging facilities have continued to operate for many years, and the aging of the pipelines is the same. It's okay. After all, people are not that fragile. After so many years, large-scale metal poisoning has just begun to appear. As long as we wait Just start construction on Angus's house. It'll be no problem. It won't be a problem even if it takes a few months. Just make sure you have good medical protection. Don't tell Marcus about this to anyone. After all, if this problem happens again, The city will be in more trouble, and so will our department.”

"But people have died."

c sighed and lit a cigarette.

"This is just an example. It's okay, Marcus. Water is more of a headache than food. If you just don't eat, it won't be a problem even if you don't eat for a week. But if you don't have water to drink, you might not be able to endure it for even a day." Can’t go down.”

At this time, the factory director was brought over. He looked at the two secretaries of the business department in horror.

"Sir, there is really nothing we can do. New water supply equipment costs a lot of money, and the construction of pipelines is also the same. There is no way we can"

"Get all the directors of water plants with aging equipment to come over urgently. Starting tomorrow, you will issue a notice of equipment damage, and then start replacing equipment to provide intermittent water supply at different times every day."

c said, the factory manager immediately took out the phone and started to contact the factory managers of other districts as instructed. They were all the heads of the Hillman Water Plant.

A series of changes caused the Hillman family to encounter an economic crisis. They had no time to manage such a water plant with very low profits. The money for replacing equipment could not be taken out for the time being. In addition, the current massive boycott of the family has put the family's industry in a very embarrassing situation.

"Sir, the factory managers of 22 districts have been contacted and they will come soon."

"You don't need to notify your superiors about this matter. Did you hear me clearly? I will contact your family's patriarch Eddie directly."

c said and walked quickly, and soon dialed Eddie's number.

"It's so serious. I'm sorry, Sir C, I really..."

"Okay, our 2nd and 4th departments have proposed solutions. Please come down in person."

Eddie agreed immediately.

At this time, Eddie, who had hung up the phone, smiled and exhaled a long breath. The water plant was just one part of the plan. It was not that there was no money to replace the equipment. This was just an illusion to deceive the outside world. In the end, the Action Department would bear all this. Eddie knew very well that more and more people would have problems due to metal poisoning.

Prometheus had already calculated it ten years ago. This was a backup plan to make the Angus family finished. Eddie had already asked someone to gradually destroy some water supply pipes in ten years. Once the construction began, the water would be polluted, and the aging water treatment equipment could not completely filter out the metal ions carried in the circulating water.

"The Angus family should be completely finished!"
