Chapter 29: A Battlefield Without Gunpowder
Lan family, in the study of Lan Yuanshan.
After Lan Qifan hurriedly returned to the Lan family, he came to his old father's study and told him the ins and outs of the matter and his thoughts.
Lan Yuanshan sighed heavily and said, "You are dozens of years old, how can you still do things in a messy way? If you are not capable of the enemy, then outwit it." ”
"But......" Lan Qifan wanted to say something, but thinking of his father's temperament, he still didn't say it.
He tapped his index finger on his knee, was silent for a moment, and said, "Dad, Zhenying has to be rescued after all, right?"
"Of course Sun Tzu has to be saved. Lan Yuanshan poked his crutches and said, "Bring the phone, I'll talk to your uncle in Yanjing on the phone, and this Yanjing is not the only faction of Lao Feng." ”
Lan Qifan immediately handed over the phone to his old father.
Lan Yuanshan took the phone and dialed the phone from Yanjing.
After about 5 minutes, Lan Yuanshan's face turned red and blue, and he smashed the phone.
Bang!
Lan Yuanshan slapped the table, his face turned red, and exclaimed, "Why?
"Dad, what's going on?" Lan Yuanshan was anxious, his father was old and his heart was not good, and he was afraid that he would die if he was so excited.
Lan Yuanshan's old face trembled, and he said hoarsely: "Your uncle actually made us endure humiliation? What happened to Yanjing, when did our Lan family get angry, and when did we have to endure it!"
As soon as the words fell, Lan Yuanshan couldn't get angry for a while, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fainted.
In the past 100 years, the Lan family has been accustomed to being powerful, and everything can always be solved with a phone call, not only to gain but also to gain face, like this kind of "forbearance" that only the loser and the weak have to do, he has lived to be so old, and he has not tried it at all.
Lan Yuanshan was easy to say, but Yanjing's big brother told him that the water was too deep, and the Fang family couldn't move for the time being, so let him endure it.
Of course, this is not the reason why Lan Yuanshan vomited blood. The real reason is that the big brother told him that the Lan family is prosperous, and Lan Zhenying is not a kid.
Lan Yuanshan loves his grandson Lan Zhenying very much, and when he heard the big brother say this, he would be angry and vomit blood and faint.
Lan Qifan immediately sent his father to the hospital, and at the same time fell into deep thought. At this time, the Lan family needed him to support him independently, so for the sake of the future, he had to contact other families who were still in a neutral position and win them over.
After visiting several of the neutral families, he returned to his back garden with a dark look in his eyes.
Lan Qifan looked at the potted plants beside him and muttered to himself: "Huacheng, it's going to be messed up...... Let's see who comes out on top. ”
Until now, he didn't believe that Fang Yi could really turn the sky upside down.
At the same time, Fang Yi was in Chu Ming's office, drinking the best Tieguanyin.
Chu Ming paced around the office, knocking the floor loud.
Fang Yi's eyes moved left and right as if he was watching a table tennis match, following Chu Ming's figure.
After a while, Fang Yi really couldn't stand it, he shook his hand and said, "Hey, hey, don't you dangle like this, okay, sit down and drink tea!"
Chu Ming glanced at Fang Yi, sat back on the chair, knocked on the table, and said, "You yourself are also from Huacheng, you should also know the strength of the Lan family, you have done too much today, if he intends to retaliate, you will be in trouble." ”
Fang Yi was slightly stunned, warm in his heart. Chu Ming had already burned himself, but he was still thinking about himself at the moment, which made Fang Yi very moved in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Chuzi, don't worry, be calm." ”
"Calm? If a family doesn't talk to two families, I really can't be calm now. Chu Ming stretched out his hand and picked his tie, with a solemn expression.
Fang Yi is not a political official, so it is understandable that he is not afraid of some details of the Lan family, but Chu Ming knows the roots of the Lan family.
The Lei family likes to come with you openly, but the Lan family likes to play yin with you, their family's methods are simply unguardable, a few years ago, there was a colleague who offended a descendant of the Lan family, and then this colleague didn't know where he went.
Thinking of these things, Chu Ming really couldn't help but be in a hurry.
He looked at Fang Yi's face that had been smiling, and suddenly felt helpless, and said, "I suggest, you should leave Huacheng for a while first, Old Man Fang, they don't dare to move, but you are different." ”
Fang Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Then you asked me to go back to Yanjing first?"
"Yanjing can't do it either, you go to Haicheng, there are people with me there. "It's impossible for Chu Ming to let Fang Yi go back to Yanjing, Yanjing is also the Lan family's old nest, if he goes back, even the bones will be gone.
Until now, Chu Ming didn't know what kind of power Fang Yi already had in Yanjing, and he had always thought that Fang Yi was just a relatively good doctor in Yanjing.
Of course, this is not Fang Yi deliberately concealing it, it's just that there are some words that you really can't say if it's not that atmosphere.
Looking at his brother's anxious appearance, Fang Yi said with a wry smile: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay in Huacheng." ”
Chu Ming rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Huacheng is messed up now, and there will be a war soon...... You are the one who spoils the situation, you will be the target of everyone, and our Chu family is afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself, I really don't want to watch you have an accident. ”
Before Fang Yi's return, the eight families had been safe and sound. After Fang Yi came back, the eight families were in chaos.
First of all, the Lian family surrendered to the other party, and then the second Lei family was gnawed off by Fang Yi, and the balance between the eight families was disturbed like this.
To put it simply, a disturbed balance can lead to an uneven distribution of benefits.
A small spark can start a prairie fire, and Chu Ming can already smell the strong smell of gunpowder. He could even imagine that Huacheng was about to enter a new era of division and smoke.
The battlefield without gunpowder smoke is the most terrible, because there is no blood in killing. Before you even know it, you've turned into a pile of bones and a pile of loess.
Although the current flower city seems to be calm, it is actually about to surge.
Fang Yi and Chu Ming grew up since childhood, he knew very well what his brother thought, he smiled slightly, patted Chu Ming's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
"Where did you get your confidence?" Chu Ming really convinced Fang Yi, this guy has been an optimist since he was a child, and he has to be a little too optimistic.
Fang Yi rubbed Chu Ming's shoulder and said, "No one dares to touch the four families of Fang, Chu, Song and Shen...... Perhaps, it's time to shuffle the cards in Huacheng, there are too many families and it's messy enough. ”
Chu Ming choked on his saliva and looked up at Fang Yi's handsome face. Suddenly, he felt that this brother was a little strange.
For so many years, Fang Yi has been the most unambitious and innocent teenager among the brothers, but how did he go to Yanjing and come back, and it became like this? Could it be that this guy still has some experience hidden and didn't say?
A person, if he does not encounter some big changes, will not change easily. What happened to Fang Yi to make such a big change?
What does it mean for Huacheng to shuffle its cards? From Fang Yi's attitude, it can be seen that he wants to integrate Huacheng into four families, a Huacheng with only four major families, Fang, Chu, Song and Shen.
What does this mean? It means that Fang Yi wants to take the three of them to dominate the Flower City!
That's too ambitious!
Why does a small doctor have such big ambitions?
Fang Yi noticed the confusion in Chu Ming's eyes, he smiled and said, "Sometimes, if you don't offend people, people will still come to offend you, and offense is the best defense." ”
This sentence is what Fang Yi has summed up after more than a year in Yanjing. For such a long time, he has been passively defending and passively counterattacking, because he is so good-natured, so there are constant troubles, and conflicts and disputes are always making trouble.
After experiencing what happened in Yanjing, he had decided that no matter what he did, he would turn passive into active. If you want to, then go and fight, and if you realize the bad signs, then take the initiative to snuff it out before it burns.
I have to say that after he returned to Huacheng, he put his set of theoretical ideas into practice. The facts told him that it was the right thing to do.
can be thought of in this way, if he is still like in Yanjing, then the original series of troubles will be repeated, and he will hide in Tibet and think of a way to fight back, thinking about how to get back the losses he has suffered.
Although, it's not impossible to do this, but it's just not a little unpleasant.
What is the most important thing in life? Don't repeat the mistakes of the past.
So as soon as he came back to Huacheng, he began to do things drastically. Absorbing the Lian family, bringing down the Lei family, giving the Lan family a hammer, and even under his own arrangement, he led to a lot of hidden forces.
It seems that this is asking for trouble, but in fact, even if Fang Yi sits still, these troubles will still happen, because because of his identity and position, the "Hua Tuo Chapter" he owns has already doomed him to live a life of peace.
But his ideal is to live some simple peaceful life. So what do you do? Bring the trouble out early, and then solve it before it spreads.
The world is like this, what you want, you have to rely on your own efforts to create, rely on your own initiative to fight for the rights you deserve.
Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, once said a sentence - I don't want to be a marquis, I hope the sea is peaceful.
I don't want to be a general, I just want peace, but if peace has to be solved by force, then I have to put on armor and go into battle. This is Fang Yi's current state of mind.
He never wanted to hurt anyone, he just wanted to live the simple life he wanted to live. He hasn't changed, it's just the way he does things.
Chu Ming looked at Fang Yi's cold face, and there was an indescribable melancholy in his heart, but when he noticed that Fang Yi's eyes were still bright and clear, he felt a little relieved. He grew up wearing the same pants as Fang Yi since he was a child, and he really didn't want to see him become a careerist.
Chu Ming patted the back of Fang Yi's hand, hammered his chest, and said, "Brother, just say what you need me to do." I'm rooting for you. ”
Fang Yi grinned and wanted to say something, but the landline on Chu Ming's desk rang.
When Chu Ming hung up the phone, he looked at Fang Yi with a strange expression and said, "Why, the mayor wants to see us?"
