Seventy-year-old Hou Junji once again shook the entire Tongcheng.

At this time in the provincial capital, the general was watering the flowers in the villa, a goatee man came from behind, standing behind the general in a regular manner, after the general finished watering, the watering can was placed next to him, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

The goatee man said respectfully: "General, there is news from Tongcheng that Zhang Shen is dead." ”

"Oh. The general picked up the scissors again and began to prune the branches and leaves of the flowers, and when everything was done, he put the scissors aside again, then sat down on the chair, and said, "Hou Junji is so old, and his temper is still so hot." ”

The goatee man smiled and said, "He thought it was still his time, but he didn't know that he was a frog at the bottom of the well." ”

The general said lightly: "You can't say that, after all, he is also an old-timer in the underworld." ”

"People sometimes get older and more stubborn and confused. The goatee man said, "If you were to be put in that time, how could anything happen to him?"

The general did not deny it, but there was a bit of yearning in his eyes, and it was obvious that the words of the goatee man entered his heart.

The general quickly came back to his senses and said, "By the way, is Lin Bad also in Tongcheng?"

"Yes. The goatee man said with some curiosity, "General, you seem to care about that Lin Bad?"

"Well, pay more attention to Lin Bad's movements for me. The general didn't explain why, and the goatee man didn't ask again, for them, as long as it was the general's order, it was unconditionally carried out.

The goatee man didn't ask about Lin Bad, but asked: "General, this time it is obvious that Hou Junji killed Zhang Shen, he has two meanings, on the one hand, it is to provoke us and express his tough posture, and on the other hand, it is also to deter other forces in Tongcheng and avoid the rebellion of the king of Chengdong and the king of Chengnan." After so many years, there has never been a force in the Black Province that dares to do anything to the people we sent, shouldn't we act?"

The general sighed and said, "Originally, I hoped to give such an underworld veteran some face, so that he could spend his old age in peace, but he killed Zhang Shen. Zhang Shen's strength is not weak, and he was originally very used under my hands, so it's a pity to die like this. Since Hou Junji did this to my people, then he would not have to spend his old age in peace. ”

The goatee man asked, "Let's do it now?"

The general smiled faintly: "Don't worry, we can wait a little longer." ”

"Still waiting?"

"Well, we'll have to wait. As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on the general's face.

Lin Bad continued to recuperate in the ward, every day during the day, the knife was basically guarded outside the door, and at night he rested in the ward.

Lin Bad's injuries are getting closer and closer to healing, and he teases Zhang Xinyan every day in the ward, and his small life is very nourishing.

Although he said that he lived this kind of seemingly enjoyable life every day, in fact, Lin Bad would communicate with his subordinates on the Internet every day, and Lin Bad pulled all the middle level into a group, and he could usually be in the group at any time

Everyone communicates and has a meeting.

What surprised Lin Bad was that since Zhang Shen died, Tongcheng seemed to have regained calm, and there had been no movement on the general's side, but Lin Bad knew that all of this was actually a mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings, the calmer it was, the more it meant that this was the eve of the storm, if the general began to question Hou Ye, there might be room for relaxation.

Therefore, in the past few days, Lin Bad has asked the entire Chengbei District to be cautious, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, no one can be careless, and even Lin Bad also stipulates that all people are not allowed to get drunk, but anyone who is drunk must be severely punished.

And all of this, for those ordinary people, they live their own small lives on weekdays, and they will not feel the different atmosphere of Tongcheng, even for those who belong to the middle-level social groups, all this has nothing to do with them, only those who are really the top characters in Tongcheng, one by one, they are inexplicably nervous.

There was no movement on the general's side, and on the surface, Hou Ye once again reminded all the upper class people in Tongcheng of the fear of Tongcheng being dominated by Hou Ye, and trembled for the Hou family again, as if everything had returned to thirty years ago, when Hou Ye ruled Tongcheng.

In fact, the Hou family was more nervous than anyone in the outside world at this time, Hou Yangsheng fidgeted in his villa every day, he sat on the sofa in the living room and drank tea one by one, looking very irritable.

Hou Liang walked down from the upstairs, looked at his father, hesitated, and asked, "Father, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the future of the Hou family. Hou Yangsheng took a deep breath, he raised his head to look at his son, Hou Liang realized that his father, who was always gentle and elegant on weekdays, had some scary bloodshot in his eyes, which looked a little terrifying.

Hou Liang asked, "Are you thinking about Zhang Shen?"

"Shouldn't you think about it?" Hou Yangsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Shen is dead, everything is no longer relaxed, and our Hou family and the general are completely on the same page." ”

Although Hou Yangsheng didn't dare to object to Hou Junji to reject Zhang Shen, he never dreamed that his father would kill Zhang Shen, so what other way out could he have besides tearing his face with the general?

Hou Yangsheng sighed and said: "Ah Liang, as a father, I hope to give you a bright future, and I don't want you to be buried in this turmoil." ”

Hou Liang asked, "Could it be that our Hou family will definitely lose in the face of the general?"

Hou Yangsheng laughed, looked at Hou Liang with complicated eyes, and said: "You have heard the legendary story of your grandfather since you were a child, and you have been immersed in your grandfather's legend and cannot extricate yourself, I know that you always want to enter the underworld and want to do something earth-shattering like your grandfather, but no matter what legendary person, once you are deeply trapped in the soil of the underworld, sooner or later you will inevitably fall, your grandfather could have avoided these, and now it is also unavoidable." ”

Hou Liang said: "But I feel that it may not be my grandfather who fell, our Hou family belongs to the head snake in Tongcheng, that general is indeed strong, I know that most of the entire provincial capital has been owned by him, but as long as we don't go out of Tongcheng, they dare to come to one, we dare to kill one, Zhang Shen is their example." ”

Hou Yangsheng sighed and said: "What people are most afraid of is to live forever in the glory of the past, your grandfather is planted in the glory of the past, he forgot that it is not his time now, nor is it the era of the year, the glory of the past is easy to bring people blind confidence, blind confidence is equivalent to a kind of suicide, because those former glory is easy to make you ignore the current enemy strength and weakness, so that you are immersed in the once strong and invincible life can not extricate yourself!"

Hou Yangsheng asked: "Ah Liang, you and I all know that in fact, there are two choices that are the best, the first is to win Lin Bad over, and promise to make Lin Bad the king of the north of the city, Lin Bad is in charge of the underworld, and we are in charge of the White Dao, when we use the resources of the White Dao to make our own business stronger and bigger, even if one day those people in the White Way are no longer used by us, with our own economic energy, no one will deal with us anymore, at least our Hou family can protect themselves, can live, and can live well!"

"The second option is to agree to the general's conditions, if the general occupies Tongcheng, I believe they will not break their word and get fat, otherwise, how will they win the trust of others in the future, but we may not be particularly nourished in the future, and our power will be deprived by the general little by little. ”

Hou Yangsheng said with annoyance: "But your grandfather doesn't choose any one, what do you think? Is it just because of his tough character? Wrong, his character is just a little, or because he lives in the glory of the past, because he himself also thinks that he is a legend, and the legend cannot be tarnished, even if your grandfather is now seventy years old, but he does not want to leave a stain on him in the last stage of his life after his death, he hopes that even after his death, everyone will call him a legend when they mention him." ”

"He was bound by the glory of the past, he could afford it, and he couldn't let it go. Hou Yangsheng's eyes gradually revealed resentment, "Everything in the Hou family was given by him, but now he is about to destroy everything in the Hou family with his own hands for his own glory and not to leave the slightest stain in the last few years!!"

Hou Liang looked at his father in surprise, he had never seen his father show such an expression, and even he felt a little scared.

Hou Yangsheng took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, and said word by word: "Accompany me to see Lin Bad tonight, I have something to say to him." ”

Hou Liang asked, "You haven't given up yet?"

"It's still going to be a bit of a fight. Hou Yangsheng took a deep breath and said, "Our Hou family has always been high, but we didn't expect that one day we would be reduced to the extent of relying on others to survive. Ah Liang, you remember to me, never pursue any so-called legends, the real legend is to be able to live well all the time!"

Hou Liang's eyes showed a dazed look, and his heart was now full of confusion, he had always thought that his grandfather was invincible, and that his grandfather had brought everything to the Hou family, but now his grandfather was about to destroy the Hou family little by little, and his faith seemed to be destroyed.

And the last paragraph of Hou Yangsheng's words made him feel lost and confused, life is a legend? He still can't understand these now, maybe only Hou Yangsheng, who is trying to help the Hou family clear their hands step by step, so that the Hou family can understand it.
