Chapter 1198: The Party Whip

In the cold hospital ward, two doctors looked at Governor Wei De lying on the bed in the room, stared for a while, and then left.

The Wei De family had been identified as suspected of multiple criminal activities. The State Court had approved the search and arrest of them, and some "victims" had also begun to appear in front of the media, narrating the process and facts of their persecution by the Wei De family.

Governor Wei De, who was at the center of the storm, was still lying quietly on the hospital bed.

If he were conscious at this moment, perhaps he would rather stand in court and accept trial.

At least that way he could still be alive, instead of being half-dead like he was now.

After more than ten minutes, a male nurse came. He pushed the door open and came to the bedside, stared at Governor Wei De for a while, then pulled out the power cord of the machine maintaining his vital signs, and then left without looking back.

Twenty minutes later, during rounds, the doctor discovered Governor Wei De, who had lost his vital signs, and reported it to the state government and the police station.

In the subsequent investigation, it was identified as an accidental incident, and the hospital did not bear any responsibility...

"What a waste!", the Liberal Party's party whip tightened the reins in his hand, making the horse he was riding stop.

The Liberal Party's party whip had now become one of the top politicians in the Federation following the Liberal Party's rise to power.

The job of party whip gave him great power, and as the "Congressional Majority Party Whip," he had a strong ability to intervene in some proposals. It could be said that he had already stood at the peak of power.

In the past, he was just a small character, but now, he was different.

Around him, there were also some people riding horses following on his left and right. The current party whip was an old guy, also from the landlord class, had his own family farm, and had the experience of living on a farm when he was a child.

He liked riding horses, especially riding good horses, and also liked to cultivate good horses himself to participate in competitions.

Although his racehorses might not necessarily get any good rankings, recently there were suddenly more people who wanted to breed with the racehorses he cultivated.

This also made him ride his racehorse everywhere whenever he had time.

The Federation does not prevent government officials from running businesses or making investments. Like the party whip now obtaining profits through racehorse breeding, it is even more within the scope of permission.

As for how many people really want the bloodline of his racehorses that don't run very fast, that is another matter.

The people around him all had angry expressions on their faces. They knew who the party whip was talking about. Just now they were talking about Governor Wei De's matter.

Originally, this was a good thing, which could be counted as an excellent means for the Liberal Party to disintegrate the stubborn dissenters in Congress of the Social Party, but it was destroyed by Governor Wei De.

The party whip was very dissatisfied with this. The great situation was lost because of this, and cursing a few times could make him feel more comfortable.

He rode his horse to the side of the stable, turned over and got off the horse, and a horse trainer immediately came over to hold the reins.

The party whip stroked his beloved horse's smooth fur, urging the horse trainer to send it back to the stable as soon as possible.

It was too cold now.

Others were roughly the same. Their horses were all sent to the stable. These horses were not particularly good horses; they could only be said to be average.

"I heard that a horse farm recently won some kind of championship in a winter competition."

"Contact them and see if we can send all our horses over to let them train them, and by the way, see if we can let them breed."

His pursuit of good horses is like some men's pursuit of the luxury cars that are constantly emerging now. The more luxury the car, the more people can't put it down.

Of course, he is not specifically engaged in racehorse and breeding business. He certainly cannot be like those professional horse farms, having a full set of equipment and horse training methods. He only has a small horse farm of his own, which allows him to play for entertainment.

The butler standing on the side immediately agreed. "I will have people contact them immediately."

Subsequently, the party whip took several others to change into casual clothes and then sat in the horse farm's house to start chatting.

Chatting about some changes in the federal political situation recently, chatting about the cabinet, chatting about some things in Congress.

They recently encountered a somewhat tricky trouble.

Previously, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Roland disappeared from that position for various reasons.

Subsequently, the Social Party president nominated a new Federal Bureau of Investigation director, and Congress passed it, so this investigation bureau director belonging to the Social Party camp successfully took office.

Originally, President Porter planned to change this position to his own person after he took office, but now he suddenly realized that Congress would very likely not pass this request, so this became tricky.

The Federation is always engaging in the separation of powers, presidential nomination, congressional approval, or congressional nomination, presidential signature. In short, they will not concentrate power in the hands of one person or one department.

Sometimes doing this has no meaning, for example, when the Social Party was in power in previous years, Congress and the Presidential Palace were all their people.

But sometimes, it has a little meaning, for example, now.

Although the Liberal Party is the majority party, they cannot make a clean sweep of congressional proposals, which means that as long as the Social Party does not compromise, the Federal Bureau of Investigation director cannot be changed.

The president can nominate, but what can be done if Congress doesn't pass it?

And it is foreseeable that Congress will definitely not allow it to pass, which indicates that the Federal Bureau of Investigation director will stay in this position for a very long time!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a new product under centralization. The Social Party president and Congress gave the Federal Bureau of Investigation great authority. Now it is basically impossible to take back these authorities. So such an important position falling into the hands of the Social Party, the Liberal Party side will certainly not be satisfied.

"... Porter's idea is that we re-establish a department, and within the scope of authority, have some overlap with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In this way, we can hand over some things to the new department to handle, instead of letting the Federal Bureau of Investigation intervene."

"Doing this can avoid us in some sensitive issues, potentially handing over some handles to the other side, or them refusing to handle the aftermath for some of our troubles."

Other politicians also echoed, "This is a very good idea, but there are also some problems. Where will the manpower for the new department be transferred from?"

"And will Congress reject this proposal?"

The party whip nodded and said, "This is another trouble we are facing. We must find a way to find things that can be traded with the Social Party, so you can also think about it and see if we have anything they urgently need, but that won't affect our balance, to trade with them."

While talking, the butler walked in from outside. "Master, the horse farm side agreed to our request. They will come to transport the horses away in these few days, and send them back after spring begins."

The party whip nodded very satisfactorily. Sending these horses to a professional horse farm is a very good handling method.

The weather now is too cold, not very suitable for riding horses, whether the horse can't stand it, or he can't stand it.

His horse farm here is only a private nature, not so professional. Professional things should be left to professional people to do.

Plus, he could take advantage of the bloodline of a champion horse for free; no matter how he calculated it, he wouldn't be at a loss.

As for breeding fees?

He is not worried about this at all. He didn't even ask the other party for money. Those people still dare to open their mouths to him?

"Pay attention to safety, don't hurt my babies, arrange for people to go with them, and come back after everything is handled."

The butler soon went to arrange, and they also started to discuss around how to establish a new law enforcement department.

As the majority party whip, he has the qualification to supervise proposals and voting in Congress, so this matter still needs his cooperation to promote.

After the horse farm side knew about this matter, it was indeed as the party whip thought. They felt deeply honored, even honored to the extreme!

Being able to have the party whip's horses boarded at their horse farm is more effective than spending money on advertising!

The party whip of the ruling party, as the bosses of the horse farm, they are still very clear about the weight. They immediately agreed.

It took two or three days for them to arrive at the party whip's horse farm.

The party whip of the ruling party watched his beloved horses being loaded into special carriages, still feeling a bit reluctant.

The more superior a person is, the more so they are on certain issues. They would rather believe in those small animals than believe in the people around them, even if they are very close friends.

Watching those beloved horses leave, the party whip put his attention back on work. The election will soon end, and the new round of Senate seat changes will also come to an end.

There are still many things waiting for him!

While he temporarily forgot about his horse, Lanse was also talking about this horse farm.

"These horse farms have many employees, and there are different feeding strategies in different areas. Whether it is poisoning, or directly embedding in to kill those horses, it is difficult not to be discovered."

The person in charge of this matter was reporting this matter to Lanse over the phone. They actually found this horse farm some time ago and also did some detailed investigations, but the results were not optimistic.

Professional horse farms certainly have professional feeding plans. Different stables are distributed in different places, the span is a bit large, and there are many horses and many people.

It is a difficult thing to kill all the horses without alarming others.

After Lanse finished listening, he thought for a while. "We can not consider killing all the horses, just handle their best horse, those champion horses, those used for breeding, and so on."

"The value of these horses is the highest. Other ordinary horses will not be considered."

The person in charge of execution on the other end of the phone nodded and agreed. "If it is like this, it is not difficult."

Lanse immediately made the final decision. "Then do it like this."

In another city, the captain in charge of this matter put down the phone. He rubbed his wrists and looked at a floor plan on the table. The entire horse farm was roughly drawn on it, and several places were circled by him with a red pen.

He waved to the people around him and called them over. "I talked to Boss, kill the horses in these few places, don't worry about the others."

At this time, someone suddenly said, "We can set a fire. There are many forage and wooden structures in the horse farm. It is winter now, and it is very dry. Once it is lit, it will spread quickly."

The captain considered it and felt it was a good idea, so he agreed.

"Now I will assign the tasks..."

Accompanied by the assignment of tasks, these people started to prepare for the action.

After all, this is not Likai State, not Lanse's territory. They need to make various response measures before implementing it.

In the blink of an eye, it was February. The weather became a bit colder, and there were much fewer pedestrians on the road.

A transport motorcade entered the horse farm from the gate. Several shareholders of the horse farm gathered here. They personally received these horses to express their respect for the party whip.

Then they personally took these horses to the high-level stables specially vacated for them, ensuring that every horse would be well taken care of by special personnel. The people who came with these horses took some photos before returning satisfactorily.

"This matter must be publicized. Let more people know that the party whip's horses are boarded here. We have the best equipment and horse trainers, and the best racehorses!"

Another shareholder asked, "He also sent two mares over, saying he wanted to breed. How much money should we charge him?"

The major shareholder who spoke before couldn't help but curse a few times. "Is there something that doesn't belong there in your brain?"

"Isn't this a better way of publicity?"

"Even the party whip needs our racehorse bloodline. Is there any advertisement more trustworthy than this?"

"Don't charge him any fees. Ensure that these two horses give birth to healthy foals, understand?"

Several shareholders thought there was no problem, and this matter was determined like this.

In the evening, after the work of the horse farm ended, most of the workers left here and returned to the dormitory.

Only a very small number of horse trainers in the stables had not left.

Under the cover of night, Lanse's people had already entered here.

"Today they transported a few more horses, and these horses look very special. The shareholders all appeared."

The one speaking was a family member who had sneaked in as a temporary worker in advance. He told what happened during the day.

"Where were they sent?"

The undercover agent who sneaked in said a stable number. These high-level stables were concentrated in almost the same place.

The captain considered it seriously. "Then handle them together."

Led by this undercover agent, and under the cover of night, they soon arrived outside those high-level stables.

The door locks of these stables were not locked, just put on, because there was a lot of work to do every day. If they locked back and forth, it would be very troublesome.

The lights in the stables were not all turned off, and two were still kept, allowing people to see the things here roughly.

When the captain entered the stable with a pistol, the horses in this stable immediately woke up.

They looked at the captain, this stranger, and a kind of vigilance and distrust appeared in their eyes. These horses also became visibly nervous and irritable.

They kept stepping on the ground, and even one horse let out a neigh.

But the next second, everything calmed down.

Not too far away, the horse trainer who hadn't fallen asleep suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the stable. That was the place he was responsible for managing. A confused expression appeared on his face.

"Did you hear a neigh just now?", he turned his head to look at his colleague in the same dormitory.

His colleague had shrunk on the bed. The horse farm in winter was very cold, although the house was not drafty.

"Is there?"

"No, right?!"

"Maybe you heard it wrong, or it was a mouse or something. You know, it's winter now."

There is heating in the stables in winter, which also leads to some small animals liking to drill into the stables. For example, the most common one is mice.

Some mice will disturb those horses, so it is normal to occasionally make some neighing sounds.

The disturbed horse trainer hesitated, but still lay back. "Maybe."

After all, the sound just now was like it existed or not, and he himself couldn't be sure whether it existed or not.

At this time in the stable, the captain looked at the horses that had fallen to the ground, put away the pistol, and then pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist.

When Lanse talked to him about this matter, he also gave him a small task.

That is to cut off the heads of all the killed horses and then place them together.

Although the captain didn't know what special meaning doing this had, as the leader of the family, he still obeyed this request of Lanse.

The stables tonight seemed not very peaceful. The horse trainer who was already lying on the bed and in a half-asleep and half-awake state sat up abruptly again. He looked at the dark night outside the window, and a look of surprise and suspicion appeared on his face again.

The colleague sleeping opposite turned over and asked vaguely again, "What's wrong again?"

His movement of getting up was relatively large, which might have disturbed the other party.

"I seem to have heard a horse neighing."

His colleague curled his lips, not even opening his eyes. "You are too sensitive. Why didn't I hear it?"

Doubt, unease, once it takes root in the heart and starts to sprout, it will keep growing until it is completely eradicated.

This is just like when you just left home and arrived downstairs, and your brain suddenly starts to doubt whether you forgot to lock the door when you left home. If you don't go back and see the closed door with your own eyes, even if you have left the community, you will eventually be unable to help but go back and take a look.

The situation of the horse trainer is like this. He couldn't sleep anymore. He got up and put on his clothes. He had to go and take a look.

After he left the dormitory, his colleague cursed "neurotic," turned around, covered his head, and continued to rest.

Horse trainer is not a simple job; it requires considerable physical strength, and it is winter now, and some work is not as easy to do as in summer.

Rather than wasting time to look at those horses, it is better to sleep a little longer.

There are many horse trainers in the horse farm. The bosses will not give you a little more money just because you are more responsible at night than others.

Anyway, they all take the same money, so why find trouble for yourself?

Really idle!

More than ten minutes later, screams came from the horse farm, and the sound was full of anger and terror! ===== CHAPTER 1199 =====
