414, a thought is thin and cool, very powerful
Qingfeng Building.
As Chu Mufeng walked into the largest box on the third floor, the pot was already exploding outside.
After all, the people who can come to Qingfeng Lou to eat are all wealthy masters, and at least they have eyesight.
"Did you see that? The one headed by is Ning Zhiwen, the stationmaster of our Gusu City Lixing Club substation. ”
"It's not just Ning Zhiwen, haven't you seen that almost all the people who accompany you are the heads and brains of Gusu Station."
"Who the hell is the one who can get them all to come forward?"
……
Despite the noise outside, there was a sense of harmony in the box.
Among this group of people, only Ning Zhiwen and Huang Zhixiang knew about Chu Mufeng's secret mission on this trip.
Except for them, no one else knows anything, and of course no one will ask questions rashly.
So all we talk about are innocuous ups and downs.
Ning Zhiwen asked with a smile after a short greeting: "Section Chief Chu, I heard that you still have relatives in our Gusu City, right?" ”
"Not bad!"
Chu Mufeng put down his wine glass and nodded and replied, "I came back this time to visit my grandfather and grandma, but I didn't expect Stationmaster Ning and you to be so polite, which really flattered me." ”
"Hehe, everyone is working for the party-state, as it should be."
Ning Zhiwen waved his hand and said very enthusiastically: "Section Chief Chu, if you need help here in Gusu City, just say it, and we will fully cooperate." ”
"Then I'll thank Stationmaster Ning and you in advance!"
"Come on, come on, Chief Chu, you're coming from afar, I'll toast you first!"
"Stationmaster Ning, I respect you!"
After some staggering and drinking, the dinner ended.
Ning Zhiwen took the first step.
Deputy stationmaster Huang Zhixiang waited, leaned over to Chu Mufeng's side and said, "Section Chief Chu, Director Tang has already called me today and instructed me, as long as you have anything you want to do here, tell me at any time." ”
"Thank you!" Chu Mufeng smiled.
"You're welcome." Huang Zhixiang hurriedly bowed slightly and said.
He knew very well in his heart that since Chu Mufeng was a member of Tang Jingzong's Intelligence Department, he was on the same line with himself.
"I will also send someone to seriously investigate that matter, and as long as there are any clues, I will report it as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Chu Mufeng's tone was aggravated and said, "Stationmaster Huang, you are clear about the mission I came here this time, so that matter must be treated as a top priority." ”
"If this thing is done, it will be a great achievement for your Gusu Station, if there is an omission or error, there is no way to make a difference on the other side of the bureau."
"Do what you can." Huang Zhixiang's heartstrings tightened and said respectfully.
"Well, what's the situation to ventilate in time."
When only his own people were left here, Chu Mufeng glanced over and said lightly: "Let's go, let's go to the hotel." ”
……
An old tavern in Gusu City.
Here sat two people by the window, with a few side dishes on their table, a pot of good wine, and three plates of steaming raw fried food just out of the pot.
The bottom is crispy and soft, and the raw fried with a golden brown color makes people salivate when they look at it.
Pick it up and take a bite, the delicious soup inside is fat but not greasy, and it is full of flavor in your mouth.
Although it is a snack, it has countless delicacies.
"How does it taste? Isn't it delicious, how about the buns compared to Tianjin Wei's dogs? ”
It was a plainly dressed and delicate-looking man with short lean hair that looked vigorous.
His name is Qu Dongge.
Sitting across from him, eating and drinking, it was Huang Xiaoxi.
Huang Xiaoxie came to find Qu Dongge, and the two had a lifelong friendship.
If it weren't for Huang Xiaoxi's help, Qu Dongge, who went to Tianjin Wei, would have been killed by two robbers, and the two became friends later.
Qu Dongge told Huang Xiaoxiao more than once that he must come to Gusu City when he has time, and he will definitely entertain him well.
Although their Qu family is not a powerful person in Gusu City, they have also opened an inn, which is a small blessing family, as long as Huang Xiaoxie comes, he will cover everything.
No, Huang Xiaoxie, who came out to travel, came.
"It tastes good, it's a must. Sure enough, there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, you stay in such a good feng shui treasure land, why do you still like to go out and wander around? Huang Xiaoxie nodded and asked.
"Because I love to travel!"
Qu Dongge said as a matter of course: "That's my hobby, I'm already familiar with this place, so naturally I want to go out and see it!" ”
"My wish is to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in my lifetime. Little evil, why don't we join us? It's good to have a companion! ”
"Right now, the situation is unstable, and I don't have such a good mood as you to go to the mountains and rivers." Huang Xiaoxie put down the dishes and chopsticks and picked up the wine glass.
"Come, let's go!"
"Good!"
After a glass of wine fell into his stomach, Qu Dongge no longer insisted on the topic just now, everyone has their own choice, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others.
"Eat first, eat first, and when you're full of food and drink, I'll take you to a good place." Qu Dongge picked up the chopsticks and said.
"Look at your appearance, aren't you going to a serious place?"
"Hey, look at what you said, what is called a serious place, let me tell you, it must be a good place."
"Yes, where?"
"Gusu City, Gentle Township."
Huang Xiaoxie looked at Qu Dongge's wicked smile and shrugged indifferently.
It's quite elegant, isn't it the place where the green building hooks the fence? However, he is not a person who eats the past, so naturally he will not want to be a pedantic.
Let's think of it as an increase in experience.
"Then hurry up and eat, and by the way, tell me if there is anything interesting in this Gusu City recently."
……
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.
Banker's compound.
Chu Mufeng came over in the car arranged by Ning Zhiwen, accompanied by Dongfang Huai and others.
"Who are you looking for?"
Just as Chu Mufeng got out of the car and walked up the steps to go in, an old man with a broom came out of it, he rubbed his somewhat dizzy eyes, looked over and asked with some confusion.
"Grandpa Zhong, it's me, why, don't you remember?"
Facing this old man, Chu Mufeng did not look down at all, and said very enthusiastically.
"You ......"
The old man who was called Grandpa Zhong looked at him with some surprise.
Looking at it, his expression gradually became surprised, and he raised his finger and said with surprise: "Young Master Chu...... You are Young Master Chu. ”
Young Master Chu?
That's right, he is the grandson of Old Age, so he is naturally Young Master Chu.
"It's me, Grandpa Zhong, I'll come over to see grandpa and grandma, are they at home?" Chu Mufeng asked with a smile.
"At home, at home, hurry up, come in quickly, I'll go and tell you."
Zhong Xin hurriedly said, beckoning Chu Mufeng and them to come in quickly, but when he looked at Dongfang Huai and them, his eyes showed a little surprise, and he secretly guessed their identities.
Backyard.
"Sir! Master! ”
"Old Zhong, what's the matter, so flustered?"
When Zhong Xin came in in a hurry, Zhuang Zhishu, who was reading leisurely, raised his head and asked, how could he, an old housekeeper and old playmate, be calm in trouble, why was he suddenly so nervous?
"Go and see, who's coming!"
"No one needs to shout like this when they come!"
"It's Young Master Chu, Young Master Chu is back."
"Come back and ......"
Zhuang Zhishu said lightly, just halfway through speaking, his expression was stunned, and the book he was holding in his hand also fell on the table, and he asked with a stunned face: "Who did you say came back?" ”
"It's Young Master Chu, your grandson is back!" Zhong Xin pointed outside with a happy face and said.
"Where is he now?"
"Wait in the hall."
"Let's go!"
Zhuang Zhishu suddenly got up and walked over quickly.
He has been seeing Chu Mufeng, his beloved grandson, all these years, but unfortunately he has always been on an errand in Beiping City, so it is reasonable that he can't come over to visit.
Now that he is here, he is naturally very excited.
"Old man, slow down, wait for me!"
At this time, Grandma Yan Qiaoshu, who heard the news, also came out of it and waved her hand to follow.
Although he is not young, Yan Qiaoshu is still very energetic.
She has not been out at home for many years, and she is most worried about this grandson, and now she is full of joy when she hears him coming!
The old people are all children from the next generation, and there is nothing wrong with it!
in the hall.
"Mu Feng!"
"Komine"
When Zhuang Zhishu and Yan Qiaoshu walked in and saw that their beloved grandson Chu Mufeng was really in front of them, the two couldn't suppress their longing.
Yan Qiaoshu couldn't help but step forward and hugged Chu Mufeng in his arms, rubbing his cheeks with both hands, and tears fell down in distress.
"Thin, dark, tell me about you, child, why don't you know to come to see grandma all these years? I don't know how much my grandmother misses you? ”
"Grandma, didn't I come here?" Chu Mufeng hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the other party's tears.
"Grandma, don't cry!"
Zhuang Zhishu can be controlled, but his eyes are red.
The most beloved of the old couple is the little girl Zhuang Xia Zhi, but who would have thought that the little girl would die on the battlefield with Chu Mufeng's father.
After the youngest daughter left, they cherished Chu Mufeng even more.
Chu Mufeng's current knowledge of Chinese culture, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and antique appraisal all follow Zhuang Zhishu.
Chu Mufeng could naturally understand the feelings of the second elder.
Didn't he miss the second elder?
It's just that when he thought that the dealer had an uncle who hated him, Chu Mufeng was reluctant to come over.
But now it seems that he did something wrong, even if he and his uncle don't deal with each other, they shouldn't stay away from the dealer and not come to visit their grandparents.
Both parents are dead, and their filial piety should be borne by Chu Mufeng.
Dongfang Huai and the others stood next to them, looking at the scene in front of them, and they also felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.
They have also experienced the life and death of their loved ones, so they can naturally know this concern.
Also, they didn't expect that Chu Mufeng's elder would actually be this contemporary master of Chinese studies.
After some embarrassment, Chu Mufeng sat on the chair in Yan Qiaoshu's hand.
"Xiaofeng, what are these?"
After Zhuang Zhishu swept over Dongfang Huai and them, he asked a little puzzled.
"Grandpa, they're all my colleagues."
Chu Mufeng didn't mean to explain too much, after all, his identity was a little sensitive, even in front of his grandfather, he didn't have to say too much.
"Hmm!"
Zhuang Zhishu didn't mean to get to the bottom of the question, but took the initiative to divert the topic and asked, "Are you still in the Beiping Garrison Department?" ”
"No, I have been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Jinling Garrison Department, and I originally thought that I would come to see my grandparents when I was transferred, but then because there were too many cases, I delayed until now."
"Grandpa, grandma, it's my fault that I didn't come to visit you earlier." Chu Mufeng explained calmly.
"That's a mistake!"
Zhuang Zhishu raised his hand and said: "Since you are a police officer, you should take your official duties first. ”
"If you're busy, you should tell us about it, and we'll go see you. Anyway, it is not far from Gusu to Jinling now. Yan Qiaoshu didn't let go of Chu Mufeng's hand until this time.
"Okay."
Chu Mufeng said with a smile on his face: "I bought a house in Jinling, whenever you and your grandfather want to go out for a walk, you can go over and live for a while at any time." ”
"Oh, you've bought a house over there?"
"Well, it was a friend who helped greet me, I might have to work in Jinling City for a while, and I want to live anyway, so I bought it by the way."
"Your kid is out of luck now, and you have the ability, alas, if the little girl is still there, how good it would be to see it!"
As she spoke, Yan Qiaoshu couldn't help but cry again.
"Hey, what are you talking about!"
"By the way, this is a gift I brought to you, see if you like it or not!"
Chu Mufeng also hurriedly opened the topic, waved his hand, and asked Ximen to send the things they were carrying.
"It's good for you to come, what else do you bring, you will have to spend more money in the future!"
Yan Qiaoshu couldn't help muttering, but after seeing those gifts, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Turning his head to look, the old man was also full of astonishment.
There is no other reason, these gifts are all valuable good things!
……
At the same time, Zhuang Yongle got up.
He made an appointment with Dong Fushan to talk about things today, thinking that he had to prepare in advance, and when he packed up and came to the hall, he found that there was a lot of laughter inside.
He couldn't help but wonder a little.
"Who's here?"
Old man, the two of them have rarely been so happy?
"Uncle Zhong, who's inside?" Zhuang Yongle asked casually when he saw Zhong Xin coming over.
"Uncle, it's Young Master Chu who is back." Zhong Xin pointed to it and said.
"Young Master Chu?"
Zhuang Yongle was slightly stunned, and suddenly his face changed greatly.
"Chu Mufeng? How did this kid come back? Didn't you never come to our dealer for the rest of your life? That bastard of his, Lao Tzu killed my sister, and he was embarrassed to come over? ”
With a little anger, Zhuang Yongle strode into the hall.
As he entered, the place where there was originally laughter and laughter suddenly became quiet.
Chu Mufeng stood up and said politely: "Hello uncle!" ”
"Yongle, look, Xiaofeng has come to see us." Yan Qiaoshu also said with a smile.
"Who's going to use him?"
Zhuang Yongle's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he shouted in an unkind tone: "Chu Mufeng, I told you before, right?" I said that the dealer doesn't welcome your Chu family, why are you embarrassed to come? ”
"Do you think that if you come over and brush up on your sense of existence, you will be able to win the favor of the two old men, and then you will be able to take away our banker's property? Tell you, die of this heart as soon as possible, the banker's property, there is no share of you! ”
The sudden words made Zhuang Zhishu stunned.
Yan Qiaoshu was also stunned on the spot.
Dongfang Huai and the others were surprised.
Only Chu Mufeng was as safe as ever, as if he had known about such a meeting for a long time.
In fact, he also knew that his uncle would treat him like this, and his grandparents might be aware of it, but it was definitely not very clear.
Now it seems that the uncle is not ready to hide it, so he tears his face and shows his true attitude.
Sure enough.
After listening to Zhuang Yongle's words, Zhuang Zhishu couldn't help but raise his arm and point at his nose and shouted angrily: "Yongle, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiaofeng is your nephew, is this how you treat him? ”
"Nephew?"
Zhuang Yongle's eyes are not good when he looks at his father now, you are my old man, but have you done something for me?
For the sake of so-called nobility and dignity, you don't care about my career at all.
I begged you for help in such a low voice last night, and you didn't even spit.
Now you are accusing me because of Chu Mufeng, who is the Zhuang family? Am I your son?
Besides, he hasn't come to the door for so many years, and now he comes out, isn't he trying to plot his family property for?
Hmph, I can let him take advantage of this, there is no door!
"Father, I don't recognize his nephew! If it wasn't his father Chu Canghai back then, could the little sister die? ”
"His surname is Chu and not Zhuang, what qualifications does he have to enter the door of our Zhuang again? I didn't beat him out with a stick, it was enough to give him face. ”
"Chu Mufeng, go, you leave me immediately now, you are not welcome here!" Zhuang Yongle said coldly.
"Shut up!"
Zhuang Zhishu's beard was straight, and his fingers trembled and shouted: "This dealer is not your turn to call the shots!" Xiaofeng is my grandson, I want him to stay, who dares to drive him away? ”
"Father!" Zhuang Yongle's face was full of anger.
"Give me a stop!"
Zhuang Zhishu glared fiercely, and said to Chu Mufeng: "Xiaofeng, your uncle is also angry, that's why he is like this, he has always been very good to you before." ”
"I know!"
Facing his grandfather's persuasion, Chu Mufeng smiled slightly, but when he looked at Zhuang Yongle, his eyes were full of disdain and coldness.
Grandpa, there are some things I don't want to say because I'm afraid I'll make you more troublesome.
Is this so-called obedient eldest son in your eyes really good to me? Is there really only resentment against me?
No!
Because you take special care of me and like me, and I have inherited your mantle of Chinese studies, so in his eyes, I am a thorn in the flesh.
He has always been worried that I will plot the banker's property, and that you will give me the entire banker's compound in a fit of excitement.
"Uncle, I came here this time to see my grandparents, I don't want to say more about the rest, and I don't want to do more, our well water does not interfere with river water, please don't get an inch." Chu Mufeng said calmly.
"Hey, you're still saying I have to make inches?"
When Zhuang Yongle opened his mouth and wanted to sneer at each other, a voice suddenly came in from outside.
"Brother, are you at home? Mr. Dong is here! ”
"What?"
Zhuang Yongle was stunned suddenly, and the whole person suddenly woke up as if he had been poured a basin of cold water head-on.
He didn't care about arguing with Chu Mufeng and getting angry, so he simply turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Yo, Brother Zhuang, I haven't seen you for many days, you are still in style!"
At this moment, a man walked in outside the hall, he was the same age as Zhuang Yongle, but the appearance of the whole person was very different.
This guy is very white and fat, his neck is invisible, a looming smile appears on his face, and he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand after seeing Zhuang Yongle.
He is Dong Fushan of the Dong family.
"Brother Dong, you are also unharmed!" Zhuang Yongle replied politely.
"Huh!"
After Dong Fushan shook hands briefly, he glanced at the scene in the hall, and after seeing Zhuang Zhishu, his eyes were a little surprised, and he walked in, and said with a smile: "Zhuang Lao, the junior Dong Fushan has seen you old." ”
"Don't dare to be!" Zhuang Zhishu's expression was indifferent.
Really, when I don't know who you Dong Fushan is? I don't welcome people like you!
"Father, this is ......"
At this time, Zhuang Qiuye walked in, and when he saw Chu Mufeng standing with Yan Qiaoshu, he was slightly stunned.
She felt that Chu Mufeng was a little familiar, but she didn't dare to recognize it casually.
Actually, this is also normal.
Calculating the time, Chu Mufeng has not been to Gusu City for five years, and when his appearance, physique and temperament have changed, it is reasonable that Zhuang Qiuye does not dare to recognize each other.
"Auntie, it's me, Mu Feng!" Chu Mufeng said with a smile on his face.
"Mu Feng?"
Zhuang Qiuye was immediately taken aback, looked over in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "Xiaofeng, is it really you?" How are you already this old? I remember you used to be a half-sized kid! ”
"Auntie, it's really me!" Chu Mufeng patted his chest and said.
"It's really you! Auntie hasn't seen you for several years, tall, strong, and a big guy! ”
"By the way, why did you come back all of a sudden? Didn't you say that you were a police officer in Beiping City? Why did you come to Gusu? Zhuang Qiuye went up and pulled Chu Mufeng, looked up and down and asked.
"Xiao Feng has been transferred to the garrison department in Jinling!" Yan Qiaoshu said with a smile beside him.
"It's okay to transfer Jinling, it's good, and it will be convenient for the family later!"
Dong Fushan looked at this scene, maybe he felt that his sense of existence was a little reduced, or maybe he felt that this kind of thing was too boring, so he coughed directly.
After attracting Zhuang Qiuye's eyes again, he said with a smile: "Brother Zhuang, in fact, today's matter should be discussed outside, but I happened to pass by your Zhuang family's compound, so I thought if I would like to come in and meet you, I will talk to you here." ”
"Brother Zhuang, you don't feel abrupt, do you?"
"Where, where!"
Zhuang Yongle was annoyed in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face, after all, who let himself ask for others, can he still care about these trivial things?
"Let's go, let's talk to me."
"No!"
Who thought that Dong Fushan didn't want to leave, but rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth outlined a playful arc, and said slowly: "I think it's good to say it here." ”
"Here?"
Zhuang Yongle's face couldn't help but change, and he looked at Zhuang Qiuye and signaled that he couldn't say it here, he was the boss of the Zhuang family, a figure with a head and a face, and he wanted to save face.
If the old man knew that he was going to someone like Dong Fushan for help behind his back, Zhuang Zhishu would definitely be angry, not to mention that he also felt that he was down.
"Mr. Dong, someone from my house is here today, it's a little inconvenient here, why don't we go to my eldest brother's study to talk about something?"
Zhuang Qiuye hurriedly followed and persuaded him.
