"The news that Hua Cong, the heir of the Hua family in Yanjing, was killed spread throughout the capital at an alarming speed, and countless families flocked to the news, and countless people were confirming and analyzing the news, and then all kinds of gossip began to fly all over the sky, and the news about the person who made the move, all the details of the relationship that night, were excavated one by one, and these news were summarized into the hands of every family who was qualified to know.

Who it was, why it was done, who was involved that night, etc., were all dug up to the core.

The name Long Hao once again shocked the capital.

Everyone who knew the name was silent at the same time.

Then everyone's eyes were focused on the Hua family.

Long Hao, an orphan, is not as good as a beggar in Yanjing, why can all the wealthy families be so jealous?

Why was he able to suppress Li Shaoting so much that he couldn't raise his head?

All of this is because of one person.

The man's surname was Zhang.

It was an old man who was dying and had died countless times but didn't die.

That family has no reputation in Yanjing at all, and it doesn't have any status at all.

But the old man of that family, who was called the old monster, was like a sword hanging above the head of the capital and even the whole of China, as long as the old man was still alive, no one dared to refute every word that came out of the old man's mouth.

At least no one dared to refute it to their faces.

This mysterious old man has even held a memorial service for himself, and no one knows that he is still alive, but in fact, he is alive and well.

This family surnamed Zhang is so low-key that it is even obscure.

An extremely ordinary gray 'color' small courtyard in the four alleys of Yanjing East, now is the best time for the temperature, full of green 'color', and the courtyard can be seen everywhere is a 'fine' to small natural landscape, which obviously took a lot of gardening masters to build.

However, under the backdrop of these natural landscapes, a small vegetable patch has been carved out in the middle of the courtyard, which is like a beautiful ink painting in the middle, and two stinky 'chicken' eggs have been smashed, which looks so out of place.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a rare tall and straight persimmon tree.

The persimmon tree is fifteen meters high, and the crown of the tree on the top of the head is exaggerated to form a round umbrella cover, looking at it from the outside of the yard, it is extremely eye-catching, and it looks like the emperor's canopy.

It is extremely difficult for the persimmon tree in the south to survive in the north, because the winter in the north is cold, and the southern tree species only freeze to death, but this persimmon tree grows extremely luxuriantly, which is really strange.

Of course, this is definitely an excellent place for wealth and nobility in the capital.

The tree is like a canopy, which means that the people who live in this courtyard are unspeakably expensive.

Of course, although this is a 'superstitious' statement, in fact, it is also true.

At the edge of the vegetable patch, a skinny old man, dressed in tatters and looking so old that he couldn't even wrinkle the wrinkles on his face, was hunched on his back, and his slearched hands were holding a small hoe, where he was concentrating on weeding.

Beside the old man, there were two middle-aged people, their faces were extremely serious, but looking at the old man's eyes, they were extremely respectful.

At the 'gate' of the courtyard, I heard a dark green 'colored' military vehicle, and it was none other than Long Cheng who was driving.

Longcheng's top boss, Lieutenant General Zhang Jianguo, was standing respectfully in the courtyard at this time watching the old man weeding, I don't know if the sun above his head is too strong, or he has something on his mind, in short, Zhang Jianguo's brain is 'door', sweat is rolling down, and his back is soaked.

The old man seemed to have the intention of stopping, rested for a moment, and then began to bow his head again to weed.

Lieutenant General Zhang Jianguo was extremely anxious, looking at the old man, and sighed again in his heart.

The Zhang family, the so-called family, is that he is alone, with a grandfather who farms at home, and other so-called relatives, there is really no one.

Of course, Lieutenant General Zhang Jianguo has a wife and children, but he is never allowed to appear here in normal times.

Even Lieutenant General Zhang Jianguo will only be allowed to go to the 'door' when there is special business.

The life of the old man is completely claustrophobic.

Zhang Jianguo is just a lieutenant general, although for ordinary people, this is a high power, but in Yanjing, a family with only lieutenant generals, to put it mildly, is not as good as the secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city, not to mention, compared with the so-called five red 'color' families in Yanjing, this is not the slightest comparable 'sex'.

But the Zhang family has an extremely special status, and the old man of the Zhang family is only known to the elders of the so-called five major families, and for the old man of the Zhang family, the country, how much respect should be given to him.

Even the first thing every national leader does after coming to power is to enter this extremely ordinary small courtyard house and accept the reception of the elderly.

The Zhang family is undoubtedly an extremely strange existence in Yanjing.

After more than half an hour, the old man put down the hoe in his hand tremblingly, sat on a wicker chair by the vegetable field, and said in an extremely vague voice: "You say! ”

Zhang Jianguo immediately lowered his head and whispered: "Grandpa, that little guy killed a person last night, and this matter has caused a sensation now, I ...... I'm here to ask you what I should do! ”

Lieutenant General Zhang Jianguo is in his 40s, and he actually wants to call this old man's grandfather, even if each generation is 25 years old, then this old man's age should be 120 years old or higher.

One hundred and twenty years old, what a terrible age.

How many years has it only been since the establishment of this country?

This incomparably vicissitudes of life and looks incomparably old is the 'squire' guard chief who has been following the great man of the founding of the Chinese People's Republic of China for a whole life.

The status of the 'squire' guard commander seems to be not high, but the status of this old man is extremely detached, and in the long years, the old man's stubble of soldiers has now spread all over the army, almost the entire Chinese army, and among any first-class officers who have been the mainstay, there are his 'protégés', and even the 'protégés' of 'protégés'.

Four of the eight military regions are his 'protégés,' and among the more than 100 group army commanders, there are no less than 30 who have a direct relationship with him.

It can be said that the old man's words are enough to cause the entire army to shake.

What does the stability and strength of a country depend on?

Army.

So the old man is so ordinary, so ordinary that he even looks like an old peasant, but his influence is everywhere.

Because he lived long enough, his son died, his grandson died, and he was not dead yet.

This old man has long become the backbone of this country.

Hearing Zhang Jianguo's words, the old man slowly lowered his head, looked at the green cabbage in the vegetable field in front of him, and said tremblingly: "Who died?" Isn't that little guy now unarmed? What's the use of you looking for me? When he was expelled from the army, I still nodded! ”

Zhang Jianguo said respectfully: "It was a junior of the Hua family who died, I have investigated the matter clearly, it was they who made the first move, and Long Hao belonged to self-defense!" ”

"The Hua family? The little guy in their house fed the horses under me for a year! It's a pity

“！”

Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Jianguo's heart suddenly trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, you don't know about that incident back then, Long Hao is you...... My favorite child! ”

"What's the use of that?"

The old man seemed to be a little depressed: "Since he has broken the law, he should be punished by the law, of course, there must be evidence for this, I will not 'meddle' in this matter again, but what, I will see the result!" ”

Zhang Jianguo was suddenly overjoyed: "Grandpa, what do you mean ......!" ”

The old man trembled and waved his hand: "I don't mean anything, anyone who violates the law should be punished by the law, even if he is the leader of the country, he cannot be an exception, but we have to seek truth from facts, this is what the old leader proposed back then!" We must not forget the roots! ”

Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but be settled.

The old man really didn't promise anything, and he didn't even 'intervene' at all, but just by virtue of the four words of seeking truth from facts, it was definitely a talisman.

Seeking truth from facts, then it is necessary to investigate clearly, and this matter, no matter how it is investigated, the situation is already clear.

If someone does something, then the old man's words can play a big role.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said vaguely: "Tell me, when did that little guy come back?" Didn't he go to that prison? He should also be held responsible for that incident back then, I mean let him stay in it for ten or eight years, sharpen his 'character', and after he comes out, he can be more stable, why did he come out so early? ”

Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but feel helpless for a while, but how could he dare to have any disagreement with his grandfather: "I don't know, maybe he has any other relationships, you know, he can always surprise us!" ”

The old man slowly stood up from the rattan chair, looked at the big persimmon tree in the yard, and said weakly: "That little guy, when he comes back this time, in fact, he doesn't need me to escort him anymore, he already has enough ability to protect himself, you don't have to meddle too much, after all, he is no longer a member of the army, and the path he walks is different from ours, you, it's better to cut off relations with him, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to do it!" ”

Zhang Jianguo's heart couldn't help but feel 'hairy' for a while.

"Grandpa, do you know what's going to happen in Yanjing?"

"What can happen? It's just some small wind 'waves', what haven't I seen back then? I can't change the sky, that little guy, it's not simple, his future is limitless, I'm not as good as him. Leave it alone. Let's go, let's go, don't wait for my 'door' for the next year. ”“
