Chapter 231: No Grudges
Today is Saturday, and the old man rarely did not go to the military headquarters, but got up early to arrange for Aunt Li and others to prepare breakfast for a group of juniors.
There are more people in the family, and it is also lively, and the old man is in a good mood. In the past, even on a rest day, the old man was not willing to stay at home, but took a few guards to the grassroots troops, nominally to go down to the grassroots level, but in fact, he wanted to numb himself with busy work and not let himself think of those things he didn't want to remember.
Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Bu'er are very close to the old man, and when they eat, they are next to the old man on the left and right, which makes the old man very happy, and he picks vegetables for the two little guys from time to time.
After breakfast, the old man called Xu Yinglong to the study and said that he had something to talk to him.
In the study, the grandfather and grandson sat down across a small round coffee table, and the old man lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "Yang Xianqi called me yesterday!" ”
"Yang Xianqi? Who? Xu Yinglong asked with a frown.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Xu Yinglong's expression did not seem to be fake, he said again: "The helmsman of the Yang family in Saibei, Yang Ling's grandfather!" ”
said that Yang Xianqi Xu Yinglong really didn't know who it was, but said that Yang Ling's grandfather Xu Yinglong knew who it was, and immediately asked, "What did he call you for?" ”
The old man said: "He begged me to let them go of the Yang family!" ”
"Let the Yang family go? Why, what has happened to the Yang family and needs to beg you for mercy? ”
"This time, the investigation team found some clues when investigating your father's unjust case, indicating that someone in the Yang family was also involved in this matter, and the evidence pointed directly to Yang Junfeng, the son of the Yang family. But since that guy had died in Tianhai a few months ago, the clue was broken. ”
Xu Yinglong said: "Since the clue has been broken, that means that there is no substantial evidence to express the Yang family to frame my father, since there is no evidence, I'm afraid the investigation team can't embarrass their Yang family, right?" ”
The old man took a puff on his cigarette. sighed and said, "The Yang family didn't frame your father, but according to Li Kang and others, the Yang family has been instructed by them to attack you several times. But Old Man Yang did it more secretively, and every time he asked Yang Jun to seal the second ancestor to execute. Now that he's dead, the trail is broken. ”
"But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the investigation team checked Yang Qi of the Yang family by the way when investigating your father's affairs, although it was not found that he was related to your father's case, but found some other things about Yang Qi, and now Yang Qi has been shuanggui and is about to be sentenced. In addition, the Yang family has also suffered a heavy blow in business, due to your previous strong counterattack. has ruined the reputation of the Yang family for decades, coupled with the miraculous rise of our Xu family, many of the Yang family's business partners have given up cooperating with them. ”
Xu Yinglong sneered: "People are watching the sky, they can't live if they do their own evils, they deserve it!" ”
"In addition, the Yang family's mining company was recently exposed to a scandal of concealing the death of the miners, and now all the high-level officials, including Yang Hai, the head of the mining company, have been placed on file for investigation, and the Yang family is finished!" The old man sighed and said.
"Hmph, this qiē is all their own doing, what does it have to do with us, grandpa, you don't want to help the Yang family at this time, right?" Xu Yinglong said.
The old man was silent. Just suck the cigarette in your hand!
As soon as he saw this situation, Xu Yinglong knew that his casual sentence just now had guessed the old man's thoughts, and the old man really wanted to help the Yang family.
"Why?" Xu Yinglong asked in a deep voice.
The old man sighed and said, "I'll tell you a story!" There are two brothers, one is particularly talented. is called Xiucai, and one is very poor and frustrated, called Qi San, although these two brothers are also poor, but their relationship is very good, just like a family. Later, Xiucai was admitted to the technical secondary school, entered the government unit, and later went to the sea to do business, made a lot of money, and became a well-known rich man. And Qi San joined the army in desperation, and was assigned to the southern border far from his hometown. It's a few years to go. ”
A few years later, he fought hard to reach the rank of captain and company commander, and was recommended by his unit to Kyoto to serve as a guard for the great man. Qi San, who hadn't been home for several years, thought that he could finally go home to visit his parents, wife and children, but when he returned home, he learned that his old parents had died a year ago. In the first two years of his death, the two old men were already bedridden, if Xiucai hadn't sent money to Qi San's family every month, not only would the old people in the family not be able to last so long, but even Qi San's wife and children might have starved to death. ”
Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were a little moist, he took a few more puffs of the cigarette in his hand, and said in a mournful voice: "You also guessed, Yang Xianqi is that Xiucai, and I am that Qisan." It is precisely because of the lifelong friendship between us that after you were born, grandpa ignored your mother's objections and insisted on ordering a baby kiss for you and the girl of the Yang family. This time, the Yang family ignored the friendship between the two families, but instead of sending charcoal in the snow, they fell into the ground, and the grandfather was really heartbroken, and the friendship between the two families for decades was gone. ”
"But after all, Yang Xianqi is kind to our two generations, he can not care about the friendship between the two families for decades, but we can't be the same as them. Our Xu family has clear grievances, and we will repay those who are kind to us, and we will not let go of any of those who have enmity against us. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Xu Yinglong was silent, and after a long while, he said, "Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Let go of the Yang family and let Yang Qiguan reinstate? ”
The old man said coldly: "Grandpa is not as pedantic as you think, since the Yang family dares to make a move on you, the friendship between the two families is completely broken, we will not fall into the well this time and destroy the Yang family, it is already considered benevolent and righteous, as for the Yang family's power in the political or business circles, how much they can keep depends on their luck." ”
Without waiting for Xu Yinglong to express his position, the old man sighed and continued: "Yinglong, the Yang family and our Xu family can get to this point, and you should also bear some responsibility. Yang Xianqi and I originally wanted to get close to each other, and use in-laws to maintain the relationship between the two descendants. But you were really disappointed before, and you repeatedly proposed to withdraw from the marriage, which made the Yang family already have a lot of opinions about us. In addition, your father is very dissatisfied with the Yang family borrowing the name of our Xu family to make money, and the relationship between the Yang family and us has further deteriorated, and in general, the Yang family cannot be blamed for being indifferent and ruthless! ”
Xu Yinglong didn't comment on his predecessor's behavior, and he couldn't refute the old man's words, so he could only ask: "Is it appropriate for us to ignore it, if you want to help the Yang family develop my opinion?" ”
"If we don't pay attention to it, we can already be regarded as doing the Yang family a great favor, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship between me and Yang Xianqi for decades, otherwise, as long as we express it a little, the Yang family will be divided by the hungry wolves who swarm up, and we can't even leave the scum." The old man said.
Xu Yinglong knew that what the old man said was right, with the current status of the Xu family, it was indeed enough to put the Yang family to death as long as he showed a little bit of tone.
Although Xu Yinglong was a little unwilling in his heart, he still nodded and said: "Then do it according to your wishes, ignore this matter, and from now on the Xu Yang family will have no grievances!" ”
After listening to Xu Yinglong's statement, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Xu family now belongs to him with the highest seniority, in the eyes of outsiders, he Xu Jiye is the head of the Xu family and the pillar. But Xu Jiye himself knows that the reason why the Xu family was able to rise strongly at the most declining time was not because of him Xu Jiye, but because of Xu Yinglong, a former gentleman.
In addition, in the family alliance of Xu, Wang, Cai, Fang, and Han, Xu Yinglong is the most core figure, and the importance of his existence has been passed by the old men of several families. So if Xu Yinglong doesn't let go, even if he makes a decision, he doesn't dare to say that it will definitely be accepted by others.
On the contrary, as long as this grandson of his own is relieved, anyone has to sell this face. Now he said that if he didn't investigate the Yang family's guilt, then others would not fall into the ground.
To be honest, if the old man hadn't talked to him today, Xu Yinglong would soon have gone to Saibei to find trouble with the Yang family. For what the Yang family did, Xu Yinglong hated it extremely in his heart, after all, as a family that intersected with each other. When the Xu family was in trouble, it was chilling enough for the Yang family not to help, but they also fell into the well and took the initiative to deal with Xu Yinglong.
You must know that if it weren't for his sudden appearance, the methods of his predecessor, I'm afraid that his bones would have turned into scum by now. If he dies, I'm afraid the fate of the little sister and the old man will not be very good. In other words, the Yang family's behavior almost ruined the entire Xu family, and in Xu Yinglong's opinion, his crime can definitely be enough to destroy the whole door.
But as the old man said, the Yang family was kind to the Xu family. If you have kindness, you must repay it, and if you don't repay it, it is not in line with the way of heaven, and now you can be happy for a while, but you will definitely leave a knot in your heart afterwards. If the knot does not disappear, it will even cause demons.
If it's just a knot, then it's fine, but if it causes demons, it's a real crisis for the monk, and maybe even fall because of it. For the sake of a small Yang family, Xu Yinglong felt that there was no need to take risks.
Besides, like the Long family, even if the Xu family let them go, can they really get out of the way? It must be known that it is rare to send charcoal in the snow in this world, and there are many stones in the well. The decline of any family is a piece of fat to the mouth in the eyes of other families, and which one can bear not to take a bite.
As soon as someone opens their mouth and takes the first bite, then more and more people will come up to get a piece of the pie. You take a bite and I take a bite, and in the end, it's really hard to say how much the Yang family and the Long family can have left. Even if there are still some left, I'm afraid it's just barely enough to survive, and it's probably impossible to rise again! (To be continued)
