Chapter 174: The Zeng family has a move
85_85289 Provincial capital, a very classical courtyard, white walls and green tiles, high horse-head walls on both sides of the house, overgrown with weeds.
In this metropolis with a rapidly growing economy, reinforced concrete everywhere, and many buildings, this kind of architecture seems to be so defeated. However, no one regarded this place as an inconspicuous courtyard, because there lived a family surnamed Zeng. The population is not large, only an old man who is too old. Today's provincial capital is blazing with the sun, and even at night, the heat from the ground still makes people anxious. The old man wore this robe, and a short black coat over it. It's not too hot either.
The old man closed his eyes slightly and sat on a golden silk nanmu rocking chair under the old locust tree in the courtyard. There were two people standing respectfully beside him. One is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and the other is a young man in his twenties. The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and he is very handsome. Especially those eyes, they are heroic.
This old man's name is Zeng Shiye, the head of the Zeng family in the provincial capital, and the middle-aged man standing next to him is Yang Zekuan, the old son of the ghost son, and the young man is Zeng Shaoyan, one of the four princes of the provincial capital.
The old man lay down until midnight, until the night breeze was slightly cool, he opened his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Xiaohuai is dead?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded through gritted teeth.
Zeng Shi also looked at the night sky, and he didn't know what to think, and after a while, he said, "Shaoyan should go to Pengcheng." ”
Zeng Shaoyan nodded, and said with a gloomy expression: "I will definitely avenge Yang Huai." Offending the Zeng family will not end well. ”
He and the ghost boy and the other two are called the four princes of the provincial capital, especially the relationship between the two is very good, the Zeng family and the Yang family are friends of generations, and Yang Zekuan is Zeng Shiye's old subordinate, or Zeng Shaoyan's distant cousin. Although Yang Huai was not killed by Chen Jing, it was related to him after all. Yang Zekuan begged Zeng Shiye here, needless to say, Zeng Shaoyan also understood what the old man meant.
In particular, even if there was no such thing as a ghost son, Chen Jing used a stratagem to force Fu Zhong away and take several docks under him for himself, which also offended the Zeng family. Fu Zhong is a member of the Zeng family, and Zeng Shi also sent him to Pengcheng for the dragon qi.
Now that Fu Zhong has escaped, the Zeng family naturally blames Chen Jing for all the responsibility.
Zeng Shiye smiled, stood up and walked into the house, and said to himself: "It's going to be cold, and my old bones are getting more and more afraid of the cold." ”
Many old people will say this sentence, but when it comes out of Zeng Shiye's mouth, the meaning is different. He is the head of the Zeng family, and the Zeng family is like a behemoth in the provincial capital.
Zeng Shiye is seventy and eight this year, with a son and three daughters. The son is a business tycoon with tens of billions of assets. In the provincial capital, such a large asset is many, but not few. If that's all there is to it, it's nothing. The key is that Zeng Shiye's three sons-in-law. The eldest son-in-law is a high-ranking official in the provincial capital and holds the power of the provincial capital.
The second son-in-law is also a big man, and he is also a major in the provincial military district. The third son-in-law is even more incredible, his identity is not simple, he comes from a sect - the Valley of the Holy Hand.
The Valley of the Holy Hand, inherited for thousands of years, is said to be the first generation of the patriarch is Hua Tuo, although it is not examinable. However, the medical skills of the Holy Hand Valley are superb, the reputation is far and wide, and there are countless big people who have made friends, which can be described as huge energy.
In addition to these people, the Zeng family also has many collateral families, with hundreds of family members. There are connections in the business world, officialdom, military circles, and even some mysterious sects. The energy is unimaginable.
But in the same way, the big family also has the difficulties of the big family, Zeng Shi is also too old, his body is not as good as a year, and the person who has half of his body into the earth, the position of the patriarch has not yet been determined to be passed on.
Although Zeng Shiye is almost eighty people, he is very open-minded, and the inheritance of the patriarch's position does not depend on relatives, and whoever has the ability will take over. He inherited the position of head of the family from his uncle, and naturally passed it on to the next generation, not only to his own children and grandchildren.
Everyone is staring at this seat, and whoever sits in this seat is equivalent to grasping the greatest power of the Zeng family, which is equivalent to soaring into the sky.
So no matter what the old man says, people with a heart will think about it carefully.
Zeng Shaoyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Yang Zekuan, the two didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Out of the house, although Yang Zekuan was Zeng Shaoyan's distant cousin, he was very respectful in the face of Zeng Shaoyan. He said: "Shaoyan, you and Xiaohuai have had a bad relationship since childhood, and now Xiaohuai killed by Chen Jing, it is impossible for my cousin to continue the incense at such an age." As long as you help Xiaohuai take revenge, your cousin will fully support you in the future. ”
Although Yang Zekuan belongs to the Zeng family, his assets are not less than Zeng Shaoyan's father, and many of the friends in his circle are business tycoons and provincial masters. With his support, Zeng Shaoyan wanted to compete for the position of head of the family, which can be described as a tiger with wings.
Zeng Shaoyan is worthy of being one of the four princes, even if he is excited in his heart, his face does not show Xiàn, and his expression is as usual. He nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry, cousin, my cousin and I have been friends since childhood, and I will definitely not sit idly by and watch his death." Even if my cousin doesn't say it, I will find Chen Jing to settle this account. ”
After the two parted, Zeng Shaoyan drove to a luxury villa on the outskirts of the provincial capital. Passing through several hill roads, Lamborghini drove through the gates of one of the most luxurious villas.
In the living room of the villa, a middle-aged couple was sitting, the man was wearing simple home clothes, but he couldn't hide the majesty he exuded. Especially the pair of thick sword eyebrows, which added a bit of arrogance to it. The woman was dressed in a lilac silk nightgown, leaning lazily on the sofa, with a faint smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth slightly pursed, graceful and elegant.
Zeng Shaoyan entered the villa, thinking that the old servant had taken off his coat for him. The middle-aged woman asked, "Shaoyan, what did the old man say?" ”
Zeng Shaoyan frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that it's also my grandfather, can't you be polite?" ”
The middle-aged woman pursed her lips slightly and said, "You are still my son, just talk to me like this?" ”
Zeng Shaoyan was helpless, unwilling to quarrel with her, and repeated what Zeng Shiye said without stretching it. After listening quietly, the middle-aged woman frowned slightly, and asked, "Husband, what does the old man mean by this?" ”
The middle-aged man put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Zeng Shaoyan with deep eyes and asked, "That's what the old man said?" ”
Zeng Shaoyan nodded.
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised slightly, and he said confidently: "The old man is thinking about succession." ”
The middle-aged woman and Zeng Shaoyan smiled slightly, in fact, they had already guessed. It's just that Zeng Shi has also occupied the position of the head of the family for decades, and has never mentioned the idea of succession. Although the two of them knew it in their hearts, they were not sure.
"Shaoyan." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at him and continued: "The old man asked you to go to Pengcheng, do you understand the intention?" ”
Zeng Shaoyan stared at the middle-aged man, with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Dragon Qi." ”
The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's good to understand, the old man has been looking for dragon qi for a year or two, and he sent a Fu Zhong to Pengcheng to quietly investigate for so many years, but he was driven out by a kid." The old man sent you because he didn't want to wait. Since this is such a good opportunity, you must take advantage of it and not be reckless. Investigating the dragon qi is the first priority, as for that Chen Jing, just solve it casually, don't make too much trouble. ”
Zeng Shaoyan nodded and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I can tell which is more important." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." If there's anything you can do to help, just ask. ”
Zeng Shaoyan nodded and left, driving the windy Lamborghini all the way to Pengcheng
Not only did Zeng Shaoyan go to Pengcheng, but there were also people who received rumors. There is no impermeable wall, especially in a big family like the Zeng family, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Zeng Shiye alone, and his every move is monitored.
The other place, which is also a villa, is not too far from Zeng Shaoyan's family. There were two men, two women and two young people sitting in the villa, and after Zeng Shaoyan drove away, the old servant in front of the villa walked into the villa and reported to the six people: "Young Master Shaoyan has set off." ”
One of the women in her thirties nodded, looked at the two young people and said, "Shaoqing, Shaoyu, you guys should go too." Remember, tread carefully and don't let Shaoyan find out. You are not as smart as Shaoyan, so let the two of you brothers join forces, this mission is very important, and you can't be careless. ”
One of the young men nodded solemnly and promised, "Auntie, don't worry, Brother Shaoyu and I will definitely act carefully, and this time we will definitely find the dragon qi one step ahead of Shaoyan." ”
The other woman nodded and said with concern, "Be careful." ”
The two young men nodded, left the villa, and drove a Land Rover to Pengcheng
