Chapter 104: No face
"Uncle Bai, why do you have free time today? At this time, I thought you would be so busy that you forgot to eat! After greeting his family, Tang Cheng suddenly remembered that there was a Bai Zhanshan here, and then turned to look at Bai Zhanshan. Bai Zhanshan's heart was stuffed, and he said that Lao Tzu didn't want to participate in this matter, if someone hadn't sent ten gold bars over, Lao Tzu wouldn't have come to your house to be a cold bench.
I thought so in my heart, but Bai Zhanshan's mouth was a different taste. "A combination of work and rest! I can't afford to have no time for myself! Your Uncle Bai and I will be almost 40 years old soon, do you think everyone is like you kid, and it's like you don't want to die when you work! Bai Zhanshan's words were one by one, Uncle Bai and me, the original intention was just to bring the relationship between himself and Tang Cheng closer, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng had never really treated him as an elder.
Tang Cheng had almost greeted the people in the main house since he entered the door, except for the subordinate standing behind Bai Zhanshan, only the middle-aged man who had just spoken to Ma Guixiang was left, and Tang Cheng didn't pay attention. After looking around, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that Zhou Hong's makeup didn't seem to be here, "What about red makeup?" At this time, shouldn't she learn embroidery from you at home? Tang Cheng asked Ma Guixiang this, but his voice fell, and the middle-aged man looked at Tang Cheng with a dark face.
"This is Xiao Wu, right? I haven't seen each other for so many years, but this has grown into an adult! The middle-aged man who claimed to be from the Ma family in Yunnan had a smile on his face, and his words revealed a taste of self-familiarity, and he did not show disgust because he was snubbed. It is said that such a cultivation is already very good, but Tang Cheng still ignored him, but turned his head to look at his mother Ma Guixiang, because only people who know each other know Tang Cheng Xingwu.
Ma Guixiang shook her head lightly at Tang Cheng, and did not speak, but just gave Tang Cheng a hint with her mouth. When he saw his mother use the lip shape to draw the word "grandmother", Tang Cheng immediately understood, daring to love this middle-aged man who claimed to be the Ma family in Yunnan was really a distant relative of his mother's family, otherwise his grandmother's house, who was also in Chongqing, would never allow the other party to come to the door. Seeing the pleading look in his mother's eyes, Tang Cheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked back at the middle-aged man lightly.
"I don't know you, and I don't want to know you, this is the Tang family, not the Ma family. My mother eloped with my father and left the Ma family, and the Ma family had already said that they would cut off relations with my mother, even if my family moved back to Chongqing, there was no contact with the Ma family. I don't know how you found it here, it's the first time, I can forgive you. But I don't want a next time, you know, right? ”
When Tang Cheng said this, there was a smile on his face, but there was a strong coldness in his words. Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to have the intention of having a seizure, Tang Cheng's eyes shrank slightly, and he continued. "I don't know where you came from, and I'm not interested! Since you are here with Captain Bai, then you should ask Captain Bai in advance about who I am, although I am only a small sheriff, but if I want to kill you in Chongqing, I believe that many people will be willing to help. ”
The coercion in Tang Cheng's words was already very obvious, and the middle-aged man who was about to have a seizure shook slightly, and just when he was about to throw out the teacup in anger, he was stopped by Bai Zhanshan, who was sitting next to him, reaching out his hand. Bai Zhanshan has known Tang Cheng for so long, and he has never seen Tang Cheng like now, full of anger. Tang Cheng's current appearance made Bai Zhanshan faintly worried in his heart, if the Ma family really made trouble with Tang Cheng here, he could only be the one who was to blame.
When the gluttonous ghost spoke, Ma Guixiang, who had stabilized his mind, had already left the main house with Tang Hu and the others, and only Bai Zhanshan and Tang Cheng were left in the huge living room at this moment. Sitting down in the chair left by his mother, Tang Cheng looked at the people opposite him with a calm face, "This is my home, I just hope that my family can live a simpler life, so don't bring it here to talk about your disgraceful things, otherwise, I will let you know how to write the word regret." ”
From the moment he entered the door, Tang Cheng had always been aggressive, Bai Zhanshan could somewhat understand some of Tang Cheng's thoughts, but Ma Quesong from Kunming didn't know this. "Boy, since you don't plan to recognize this relative, then we have nothing to say! I, Ma Quezon, have seen a lot of people and scenes, and I haven't seen young people as arrogant as you, but the fate of those people is not very good! ”
The teacup that had been held in Ma Quisong's hand was finally smashed to the ground, and when Bai Zhanshan's brows jumped, Tang Cheng still sat upright like a pine face and did not change his color. Tang Hu, who was guarding outside the door of the main house, heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground, but rushed in with an arrow, and saw that Tang Cheng who was sitting in the chair was fine, Tang Hu, who had been holding back his anger in his heart, stood behind Tang Cheng in a daze. Tang Hu is straightforward by nature, he is not stupid, but he doesn't like to use his brain, and a person of his temperament never hides his thoughts in the bottom of his heart.
"Sitting here, this is our house, we are the hosts, not the guests!" Tang Cheng smiled and pressed Tang Hu to sit beside him, and looked at Bai Zhanshan and the others with slanted eyes. "Captain Bai, since we met in Nanjing, I have never neglected you. Whether it's in front of or behind the scenes, I've given you enough face, do you need to give me an explanation for today's out? Tang Cheng no longer called Uncle Bai in his words, which can be regarded as an indication of Tang Cheng's attitude.
Bai Zhanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this, the only thing in his heart was not annoyed, he was familiar with Tang Cheng, he knew that his family was Tang Cheng's weakness, even if the person who brought Ma Kuisong here today was Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng would also turn his face. But this Ma Quison was arranged from above, how dare he, a little captain, go against the meaning of the above, "Little Wu, it's not interesting for you to say that!" What else can I do to you, Uncle Bai? ”
Bai Zhanshan's answer was vague, but Tang Cheng didn't eat him, from Bai Zhanshan's expression and reaction, Tang Cheng seemed to have seen something, so he turned around and turned to Ma Quisson. "This gentleman, I don't know any Yunnan Ma family, and I don't know the Chongqing Ma family, I only know that this is the Tang family. If you have business, you can leave your contact information, and someone in the official face will contact you later to talk about business. If you have a personal matter, then please leave immediately, because I don't think there can be any personal matter related to the Tang family. ”
Tang Cheng took off the lid of the tea bowl in front of him and put it aside, making a look of sending off a guest, no matter how Bai Zhanshan squeezed his eyebrows and made a hint, Tang Cheng just turned his head and whispered to Tang Hu. "Captain Bai, I think let's go! The threshold of this house is too high, and people obviously don't welcome us! Bai Zhanshan wanted to continue to rely on, but Ma Quezon couldn't bear the snub given by Tang Cheng.
Seeing Bai Zhanshan and the others leave, Tang Cheng reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, "Mom, what's going on?" How did the people of the Ma family in Yunnan come here? What did Grandma say? Ma Guixiang and the others returned to the living room, and saw that Zhou Hongxiang, who had not appeared just now, also appeared beside his mother, Tang Cheng finally understood what his mother's gesture to himself before meant, and dared to love Zhou Hongxiang, who did not appear just now, went to his grandmother to inquire about the news.
"Your grandfather came to Chongqing from Kunming back then, and the Ma family in Yunnan is considered an ancestral home, but your grandfather has been in Chongqing for so many years and has cut off contact with the Ma family in Kunming." Ma Guixiang didn't hide it from Tang Cheng, but she didn't know much about it. "The one who came just now is called Ma Kuisong, the eldest son of the uncle over there, and has been in charge of the tobacco trade with Chongqing..."
"So he went to find his grandmother, and then found our family through his grandmother, and wanted to hook up with me or Uncle Zhang?" Before Ma Guixiang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Cheng's words. Based on Bai Zhanshan's previous performance and Ma Quezon's arrogant face, combined with Ma Guixiang's words just now, Tang Cheng already had a preliminary guess in his heart. "The business of the Ma family in Kunming may not be just a tobacco business, I just cleaned up the black market business of arms in the city a while ago,"
Ma Guixiang only knew about the things that Tang Cheng did after coming to Chongqing, even if Tang Cheng mentioned the arms black market business in Chongqing, Ma Guixiang didn't go deeper to think about it. "Forget it, the person has already left, and he may not come back in the future, so don't mention this matter in the future." Feeling that the atmosphere seemed to be a little serious, Tang Cheng's face immediately showed a hint of a smile, and he quickly got into trouble with the twins.
Under Tang Cheng's deliberate actions, the atmosphere at home quickly returned to its original state, as if Bai Zhanshan and the others had not appeared. Tang Cheng, who was in a relaxed mood, accompanied his family for a meal, and was sent out of the house by Zhou Hongxiang when he left, and Tang Cheng quietly stuffed a jade bracelet to Zhou Hongxiang. "In the future, if there is something at home, if your mother is not there, you can just make up your mind. Like today, don't make yourself feel uncomfortable, just beat people out. ”
Zhou Hongxiang, who was playing with the jade bracelet, pouted and expressed dissatisfaction, "How did I know that the surname Bai was a mistake, and when I was in Nanjing, I still looked at the person surnamed Bai who was good, why did I get to Chongqing, I would only help outsiders!" Otherwise, I'll just look for an opportunity to beat the guy surnamed Bai hard. "The life after moving to Chongqing made Zhou Hongxiang feel that every day was beautiful, but what happened today made Zhou Hongxiang also very annoyed.
Zhou Hongxiang's answer made Tang Cheng very depressed, and said in his heart that you are a girl, why do you want to beat people with a mouth! Tang Cheng, who returned to the safe house, immediately called Zhang Jianghe, and told Zhang Jianghe everything that happened to Tang's family on the phone. "Uncle, I feel that the person from the Ma family in Kunming appeared too abruptly, and Bai Zhanshan gave me the feeling that he seemed to be forced to participate in this matter in desperation. But Bai Zhanshan is a person from the intelligence department, who can force him to do something against his will? ”
