Chapter 357 Eve of the Grand Ceremony

Two days before the wedding ceremony, Xingmatai has entered a state of national celebration. According to customs statistics, tens of thousands of people enter the country within a week. For a small country with a population of 500,000, hotel tourism is already running at full capacity. Fortunately, the homestay industry has developed like a spring bamboo shoot. Many Xingmatai families have opened their own rooms or beds to tourists or short-term workers to make a small amount of money. The surge in tourists is certainly attracted by the prince's wedding, and the policies during the wedding are even more of a catalyst. Within one month of the wedding, Xingmatai will be exempted from taxes throughout the entire area, which means that whether you live in a hotel, shopping, or doing odd jobs, you will not be charged any taxes.

The whole city is decorated with lights and bars and nightclubs are open all night, and businessmen make a fortune. The happiest thing is the Lin family. The Lin family's business is the most profitable in the Belt and Road Initiative. With their contributions to Matteo Ci's power, even their granddaughter has become a princess. The Lin family is a complete relative of the foreign relative, Lin Wei is the uncle, Lin Changrong is the father-in-law, Lin Tianxiang is the old father-in-law, and a family of royal relatives.

Chinese people who went to Southeast Asia were very business-minded. After Xingmatai joined the Belt and Road Initiative, the Lin family began to lay out infrastructure and entertainment industries. Wanda Hotel has their shares, and Zhangong Water House Holiday Hotel also has their shares, not to mention Xingmatai's largest casinos and nightclubs. As for supermarkets, restaurants, duty-free shops, laundry rooms and other small businesses, they were too lazy to do, and they were allocated to other Chinese families to run. Locals were unaware of it and had no funds, so they could only wait for these businesses to get started to apply for a waiter.

The Lin family mansion is being renovated. The Lin family ancestor is a traditional old-school overseas Chinese. Although he is usually wise and clear, he always has a little fascination about the imperial power. Unfortunately, the Lin family is just a businessman and has no chance of politics at all. When Matteo Chou's government was suddenly changed a lot. Not only did his son Lin Changrong join the cabinet, he became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance of the new government, and his great-grandson put on military uniforms and put on a saber to become a military officer in the royal family. The most surprising thing is that his great-granddaughter Lin Zuer married into the royal family and became a real member of the royal family.

Xingmatai practices monogamy. Although Matteo Ci is a prince, he can only have one legal spouse. Because he only retains the title of prince, Lin Zuer can only be called the princess. However, the old ancestor is in the long run. Matteo Ci is in love with power and will sooner or later ascend the throne to the palace. At that time, the princess will become the queen. He is the mother of a country. When he goes home to visit her, even the old ancestor will kneel down and kowtow to her.

The Lin family not only renovated, but also bought clothes, robes and jewelry for celebrations. The old ancestor Weng said that since he had a kinship with the royal family, everything should be established and he could no longer handle things in sloppy like before.

Old Zuweng said, the children and grandchildren of the Lin family are still not wasting money. Men customize dresses and buy expensive limited edition watches. The vehicles they travel should also be updated. BMW cars are not worthy of the royal relatives. Rolls-Royce. The names of women are more. Needless to say, a full set of jewelry is needed. You have to buy more than a dozen more bags. The wedding ceremony lasts for a week. How can you carry the same bag on every different occasion every day? That would be a shame. A phone call to the Hermes store in Singapore, and the salesperson flew over with dozens of bags for the whole family to choose from. This is the style of the Wang family.

Lin Changrong customized a Tang suit and a British morning dress for his father, but the old man was depressed and seemed to have something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly. As a son, he actually didn't know his father very well, but his great-grandson understood the thoughts of the ancestors.

Lin Wei told his grandfather that the old ancestor wanted to wear a uniform.

This is a complex of a generation. After Lin Changrong's father became rich in Xingmatai, he was going back to his hometown in Fujian to donate an official. He got a dress of eighth-rank officials and returned to his clothes. He didn't wear them, but he just kept it in and out. He was happy to watch in and out. Later, Sun Wen's revolutionary party rebelled and Lao Lin donated another 10,000 Yingyang and got a receipt. The revolutionary party who came to Nanyang to raise funds said that he had seized the Qing Dynasty and gave Lao Lin a fifth-rank Hanlin. Later, this person had no news. Lao Lin failed to wear the official uniform of the Republic of China, and finally died of depression. The young Lin Tianxiang was influenced by his eyes and planted a seed deep in his heart. The most important sign of the Lin family to shine on the family lintel is to wear official uniforms.

The civil servants of Xingmatai government were equipped with uniforms, and their style was similar to those of Thai civil servants. They were dressed in white, with large brimmed hats, golden eaves and eagles, as well as accessories such as ribbons and swords and white gloves. The waist was straight and majestic when worn on the Luo pot.

There are only two people in the Lin family who are qualified to wear uniforms. Lin Wei is a second-level lieutenant, a military officer, Lin Changrong is the second-level high-ranking civil servant, but the old ancestor Weng is 80 or 90 years old, and he is not qualified to wear uniforms anyway. No one complains about this. Everyone understands that the old man is like a naughty boy. He only has this little thought for his whole life. He will not be able to complete his whole life. Those who are children and grandchildren are also sorry. So Lin Wei asked his sister to come forward and give Matteo Ci a mouthful. Matteo Ci has an edict and has a first-level civil servant named Lin Tianxiang as a senior government consultant, an honorary first-level civil servant. He has no salary, but can wear a uniform and wear a saber.

The whole family was full of joy and joy.

...

The flight of Liu Fengzheng, Yang Qihang and others arrived later than the Gulfstream business plane. The two had no communication along the way, but they would not show a special sense of distance in public places. In short, it was a sense of indifference to passers-by.

After leaving the airport, everyone's destinations were the same, all Wanda Hotel. This time, Yang Qihang's visit included both official and private affairs. She wanted to visit her beloved nephew and see what he was tortured, and then think of ways to deal with extradition. It is better to go back to China for trial than to be hung abroad.

Fu Ping'an went to Wanda Hotel at the same time. He had his own house in Xingmatai. When he went to the hotel, he was to greet guests, and others were guests. As a special consultant of the royal family, he was a major attendant and military officer, Datuk, and he was the same as the master, and he wanted to greet guests from China on behalf of Matteo C.

When the minibus Yang Qihang was riding arrived at the hotel, a small convoy arrived at the same time. The motorcycles driven by two military policemen drove the lane and followed by a Toyota off-road vehicle guard. The black extended Mercedes-Benz was equipped with the national flag of the Star Horse and the royal flag. The hotel doorman wanted to pull the car door, but was stopped by the black-clad bodyguard who got off the escort.

"I'm afraid the Prime Minister is here." Yang Qihang said to the followers.

But Fu Ping'an got off the car, and the motorcycle trailer guard was treated by Matteo Ci. When he was in China, Fu Ping'an had always been low-key and had a light car. He had to follow the customs here. He had just come from the Marriott Star Horse Hotel and visited the royal representative from Thailand on behalf of Matte Ci.

Yang Qihang and others entered the hotel, and Fu Ping'an was gone. She checked in, went upstairs to wash up, and went to see her sister and Jie Xiaoming. The two sisters had to sigh and chat for a while. Yang Ping said that the time was up, let's go downstairs to have dinner. The food in the hotel was so unpalatable. I protested several times. They finally invited several Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine chefs from China. The taste was OK, at least they could eat it. When my house was bought, I would invite a few chefs to start the fire and cook.

The two of them chatted and took Jie Xiaoming out of the room. They happened to meet Liu Fengzheng and Pan Xiaoyang who were about to go downstairs. Everyone walked towards the elevator together. As soon as the elevator door was slowly closed, Jie Xiaoming rushed over and opened the elevator door.

There were three people in the elevator, Fu Ping'an and two personal guards equipped by Matteo Ci.

The guard reached out to stop everyone and said in English that you can sit down.

"Why?" Jie Xiaoming was arrogant, "Is your home in Wanda Hotel?"

Fu Ping'an just went to visit representatives from the Cambodian royal family and the drivers and passengers from the Gulfstream. Since it was a chartered flight, he had to accompany him throughout the journey. Jin Luobing, the captain, the flight attendant and others were also staying at the Wanda Hotel. He was just out and was about to go downstairs, but he did not let the guards stop other residents from taking the elevator. Domineering is not his style.

Everyone entered the elevator and the atmosphere became strange. Liu Feng and Pan Xiaoyang first greeted Fu Ping'an intimately, and Yang Qihang also nodded and greeted him, not showing too familiarity.

The enemy is narrow, so Jie Xiaoming certainly knows that Fu Ping'an's identity at Xingmatai is extraordinary, but if he can hold back this tone, he will not be called Jie Xiaoming.

"Sun Thief, don't think you can do anything to me. Let's take a look." Jie Xiaoming suddenly spoke viciously. His confidence lies in the fact that after several months of dealings, he found that Xingmatai's judicial system is quite fair and transparent. As long as it is not illegal, it will be fine, and even if it is illegal, it can be bailed. In short, there are rules, and it will be fine if it doesn't play well.

"Xiao Ming!" Yang Qihang stopped sternly.

"Sir, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Fu Ping'an said, not angry at all.

"What's wrong? Have I scolded you? What am I scolding you? Did I bring dirty words? If you hit me, I'll be considered a coward if I can't beat you to death." No one could stop Jie Xiaoming at this moment, and he was relieved. However, Yang Qihang became deeply worried.

Fu Ping'an's bodyguard was an agent of the Intelligence Bureau assigned by Matteo Ci. He could not understand Chinese and could not take action if he received the order. He could only glar at him.

Liu Feng couldn't bear to see it anymore and said softly: "Pay attention to quality."

"You have high fucking quality. Is this your secretary or your mistress?" Jie Xiaoming's malicious eyes turned around Pan Xiaoyang.

"I'll beat you up when I was young." Liu Fengzheng also didn't speak, and everyone was civilized.

"Forget it, Mr. Liu." Pan Xiaoyang said pitifully. Her eyes were so fierce that she had long recognized Yang Qihang. The person next to her eyebrows should be Vice Governor Yang and a sister. This unrestrained young master must be his nephew, so she would not fight for the long term of language and get into evil high-ranking officials.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful, you're just a green tea." Xie Xiaoming has played with so many women, so he can recognize Pan Xiaoyang's quality at a glance.

With a ding dong, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Fu Ping'an didn't say much and hurried away with the guards. The others rushed to the cafeteria and sat down from a distance with the food.

Yang Qihang blamed his nephew and said, "Why are you so reckless? Don't you know his identity?"

Jie Xiaoming said lazily: "I'm like this. Why are you cursing him for a few words to relieve your anger? If I don't scold him, I won't sleep well tonight. Besides, I didn't say dirty words, such as Fake squids. Besides, it's not illegal to curse people."

Suddenly, two dark-skinned policemen appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, with handcuffs and guns, wearing white motorcycle helmets on their heads and long boots on their feet, which looked like motorcycle patrol police officers found from the roadside. They asked the restaurant waiter something, then walked towards Jie Xiaoming, announced that he would be arrested, and then took out the handcuffs.

Yang Qihang realized that this was not a patrol police, but a motorcycle military policeman who drove the road for Fu Ping'an's special car. They arranged it as soon as they went out. Although Fu Ping'an never said harsh words, he was always kind and whispering warmly. He was not gentle at all when doing things, and he was a ruthless move.

Jie Xiaoming also practiced it, stretched out his hands and let it be handcuffed, lazily and disdainful. He could guess that it was a monster made by Fu Ping'an, but this matter was not big, and he could be released after entering, which was nothing more than to disgust himself.

In front of everyone, Jie Xiaoming was taken away by the police and didn't even eat a few bites of food.

Yang Ping couldn't bear to have her son locked up again, so she stopped eating and contacted the lawyer urgently. The lawyer was unambiguous and rushed to the police station as soon as possible. After some negotiations, she returned Yang Ping, which was in trouble.

This matter is a bit complicated. Fu Ping'an went to the hotel with a mission. His identity was multiple during that period. In addition to himself, he was also Matteo's special envoy, representing the country. This is like the ancient imperial envoy. The imperial envoy was often eunuchs. With the imperial envoy, he could make ministers and generals kneel down. Is it eunuchs who kneel down? Of course not. They kneel down on imperial envoys, the emperor himself.

Xie Xiaoming's verbal attack on Fu Ping'an in the elevator is equivalent to humiliating the head of Xingmatai and the people of Xingmatai.

Yang Ping asked: "What is the sentencing standard for this crime?"

The lawyer said: "If the crime of insulting the royal family in Thailand is convicted, the maximum sentence can reach 35 years in prison."

Yang Ping panicked: "What about here?"

The lawyer said: "It is also a serious crime here. The previous traffic accident crime was mainly delayed. If the other party couldn't stand it for a long time, it would basically be dealt with. Even if the crime was confirmed, it would be just a compensation plus a prison sentence of less than five years and a probation. Mr. Jie caused himself an unnecessary big trouble."

Yang Ping was about to cry: "I didn't insult him either. There was a surveillance monitor in the elevator, and Xiao Ming didn't even say a dirty word."

The lawyer said: "This appraisal standard is not what we say. Even if the imperial envoy is tone up, you can be assigned this crime. I asked, and they also issued an elevator surveillance video. Mr. Jie called the other party three times. This sentence was translated into English as son                                                                                            

Yang Ping was really crying. She wouldn't have known that she would have taken the elevator.

The lawyer said: "Don't worry too much. You can be released on bail, but the bail is proportional to the severity of the crime. This time it will probably start with 50 million US dollars."

Yang Ping gritted her teeth: "Five millions are available!"

Yang Qihang kept listening quietly. He heard this and reached out and patted Yang Ping's back of his hand, shaking his head silently.

Yang Ping knew it and sent the lawyer out and asked her sister what she thought.
