Chapter 36: Counterattack

The 22nd year of the Republic of China is destined to be a year with a story.

With the explosion of the car and disappeared, there was also Inspector Zhang, as if he had never been to Jiangcheng.

The turbulent situation is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and the war in the northeast is far from affecting this southern city.

People are singing, dancing, and dancing, Xinji Market listens to operas, Xianzheng Street and Wuma Road go shopping, wives and ladies pay attention to the new imported imported goods of various commercial houses, and Zhongshan Park is still shoulder to shoulder.

There is a poem as evidence: "The car is like flowing water and the horse is like a dragon, and the floor pavilion is in sight." The people in front of the new market are like ants, and red men and green women laugh at each other. ”

It's business as usual.

A car stopped in front of the Wande Commercial Bank, and a few soldiers with loaded guns came down, and the last one to come out was Adjutant Zhang, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

Master Zhou listened to the crowd downstairs, and heard that a guy came to report: The soldier has come to Wande Commercial Bank.

Rao is calm and calm, after experiencing Mu Qing's arrest, he still felt uneasy when he heard that the soldier was coming.

He went downstairs with a strong spirit, and Adjutant Zhang walked up to the old man and gave a military salute, and said: "The new garrison officer hopes to invite your family to the mansion for the weekend, and I hope you will enjoy the light, he said that he has not seen your second son for a long time, and he misses it very much." ”

"Who's the new garrison?" The old man only heard that Chief Sun was killed by bandits when he went out of the city, and he didn't know the specific news.

"Zhang Qianmo, Chief Zhang, oh, he used to be Inspector Zhang in this city." Adjutant Zhang replied.

"Him! He's not ......" Master Zhou was surprised.

"It's hard to say, this matter has to be told to you by the commander himself."

"Okay, our Zhou family will definitely come then."

"That's it, I'll go back to my life immediately." Adjutant Zhang did not smile, and hurried back after getting a reply.

Hearing that Inspector Zhang was not only fine, but also replaced Chief Sun, Old Man Zhou was a little worried and a little happy.

I was worried that I didn't know what Chief Zhang's temperament was, but I was glad that I felt that it was really feng shui in turn, and I came to Zhou's house this year.

On the morning of the weekend, the Zhou family all changed into new clothes and took a car to the residence of Chief Zhang.

Since Sun Zongxiang's death, his mansion has been inhabited by Chief Zhang. Chief Zhang's time in Jiangcheng is still short, and he has not yet opened another mansion.

The Zhou family and his entourage got out of the car, and Master Zhou was too familiar with this place. The hibiscus and canna planted in the flowerbed by the door were still in full bloom, and he remembered how he had been left hanging in the porter for two hours. I didn't expect that it would not take long for things to be different.

Chief Zhang greeted him personally.

Old Man Zhou was flattered, he beat a drum in his heart, I don't know why Chief Zhang was so enthusiastic after his return this time.

"Don't blame the contemptible people for being late."

"How dare you." Master Zhou bent down and arched his hand.

"Come in, please."

The Zhou family followed Chief Zhang into the door, although it was still Chief Sun's mansion, the decoration inside was unrecognizable.

The ceiling has been replaced with a magnificent crystal chandelier, the style of the sofa and furniture has also been greatly changed, and the picture of the lady originally hung on the wall has also been replaced with a pair of calligraphy with "the world is for the public".

The Zhou family sat down on the sofa nervously, the eldest lady held the old man crampedly, and Yuehua Muqing sat silently, and they were all beating drums in their hearts.

"Look at the tea." Chief Zhang instructed the adjutant with a smile on his face, and quickly delivered tea and snacks.

He suddenly got up and walked in front of Mu Qing and bent down.

Shocked, Mu Qing hurriedly jumped up, supported him and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Thank you Zhou Muqing for your life-saving grace."

"Me? Help me? ”

"Yes. Although you didn't save me directly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing in front of you like I am now. Then Chief Zhang recounted the incident of escaping death, "It was your name sticker that saved me." The car had just started that day, and I remembered that I had forgotten your name tag, so I got out of the car to get it, and it was my lieutenant at the time. Later, when the bomb exploded, I disguised myself and hid for several days, until I heard that the murderer had been caught, and then I set off for Nanjing. ”

"This is also your creation, Sir Zhang." The old man said, "Only then can we escape this catastrophe." ”

"Having said that, if it weren't for the name card sent by Brother Mu Qing, how could I have escaped death? I don't know what year the Mu Qing brothers are? ”

"Thirty-four years of Guangxu."

"It's my little brother." Chief Zhang said with a smile, "If you don't give up, the contemptible people are willing to marry you with Mu Qing with a brother with a different surname, and the affairs of the Zhou family in the future will be my business." I don't know what the old man thinks? ”

"I'm willing, since Sir Zhang, you are willing to appreciate your face, I might as well be respectful." Mu Qing didn't think twice.

The old man glanced at him.

"Since Brother Mu Qing has agreed, we will make up our minds. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, please come to me. Chief Zhang said with a smile.

"Yes. Brother Zhang is on top and is worshiped by the younger brother. Mu Qing immediately got up and bowed.

"Ah, hahaha, you're so polite." Chief Zhang laughed and helped him up.

Yuehua and the eldest lady are complete foils. The eldest lady's face was not good, she sat silently beside Master Zhou, Yuehua had a disdainful expression, and he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Mu Qing's flattery.

"Sir, the kitchen is ready." Adjutant Zhang came over to report.

"Let's go, you're welcome, I quit the previous chef, and the new chef was invited to specialize in authentic Jinling cuisine, he is very skilled, and today he specially ordered him to make a good one, you can taste it." Chief Zhang warmly invited, and the Zhou family got up to follow.

It was the first time they came to the restaurant in the mansion, and the splendor inside was even praised by the Zhou family, who were accustomed to seeing big scenes.

The dishes have been laid out on the table, and it is really the chef's skill, the knife work of each dish is not messy, and the color and pattern of the side dishes are good, especially the roast duck is oily and smooth.

At that time, everyone knew that Jinling cuisine was exquisite, salty and fresh, as an official dish, it was very good to take the table, and at the same time it took the characteristics of the four directions, adapted to the taste of the eight directions, and paid attention to the seven tastes and seven flavors. Mainly salty, salty and sweet, sour but not astringent, bitter and fragrant, spicy but not strong, crisp but not raw, thick and mellow, fat but not greasy, light but not thin.

"If you can eat authentic Jinling cuisine in Jiangcheng, you will have a lot of luck today." Chief Zhang said with a smile, "I also invited high-level talents to get it." ”

"It's rare." The old man echoed with a smile.

After finishing the meal, Chief Zhang dragged Mu Qing and chatted for a while before letting them go back.

The more he talked with Mu Qing, the more speculative he became, Yuehua felt that there had never been such a difficult time, except for his father and Mu Qing today, everyone else was in the last seat, and they couldn't leave at will. Finally waited for them to get into the car, Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest lady felt a lot more relaxed.

"Qing'er, why do you want to worship big brother? You must know that these are troubled times, and to get too close to power is to play with fire. "The old man is a little blamed.

"Dad, power is the side of the tip of the knife, if you are estranged, this knife will not work for you at all, I think Wande Commercial Bank has not really gotten rid of the crisis, if Chief Zhang's sharp blade can be used, why not? Moreover, the situation will not change anytime soon. Mu Qing had already made up his mind in his heart, "Time is pressing, the situation in the northeast is unstable, our Wande Commercial Bank has been pressed by the Zhihe Li family for so long, it's time to make a turnaround." ”

The old man listened to Mu Qing's words, looked at him and sighed: "I'm old, it's time for you young people to take over." ”

Soon, the news of Zhou Muqing and Chief Zhang's sworn greetings spread somehow, and no one asked about good things, and the gossip was true or false.

Zhou Muqing immediately became an upstart in the city and was the object of everyone's stuttering.

This news reached Li Shaowen's ears, and his mood sank when he heard it.

When Chief Sun was here, he had always been a guest in his mansion, what was Zhou Muqing? Not long ago, he personally brought gifts to visit Chief Zhang, but he was closed, and the most angry thing was that those soldiers also told him that the people who wanted to see Chief Zhang were full of sweat, and they had to wait for half a month to visit.

In any case, I also have to see Chief Zhang to get to the bottom.

Li Shaowen had his own way to visit Chief Zhang, and the name card he handed in had an additional title: Zhou Muqing's brother-in-law. In other words, he met Chief Zhang under the sign of Mu Qing.

"Are you Zhou Muqing's brother-in-law?" Chief Zhang looked at the famous post fox and said suspiciously, "It's the first time I've heard of your title, and I've never heard of Brother Mu Qing mention it before." ”

"Chief Zhang, how dare I deceive you! My wife is Zhou Muqing's fake sister, and everyone in Jiangcheng knows it. Li Shaowen smiled cautiously.

"But you Li Shaowen, I don't know anything else, your mountain is changing so fast. If I'm not mistaken, in the Sun family's seat back then, Sun Zongxiang relied on you the most, and he would discuss everything with you, and now you ......" Chief Zhang had something to say.

"Those old things are that Li was young and confused, and I only ask Chief Zhang to take care of us and the firm." Li Shaowen still said with a smile, and after saying this, he felt sad for a while. People look at the businessmen glamorous, wearing gold and silver, but they don't know that whispering behind them is the norm, there are so many clouds in the sky, who knows which one is raining? How can you do it if you don't plan ahead? As soon as I open my eyes every day, I think that there are still so many people who rely on Zhihe to live, and so many people who work and wait to get paid.

Li Shaowen drove away the emotions in his heart and waited for Chief Zhang to take over.

"Seeing that you are Brother Mu Qing's brother-in-law, I can indeed take care of you, but, thinking about your previous style, although I am not a narrow-minded person, I still have some scruples." Chief Zhang thought for a moment and replied.

"I understand."

"I absolutely believe in your abilities, you can relax. As long as you ......," Chief Zhang smiled.

Li Shaowen suddenly understood: "Sir Zhang, although you can rest assured, I know how to be filial." ”

Chief Zhang's attitude was still hesitant, but at least he had a clear attitude, and Li Shaowen's heart was put back in his stomach.

These days, Zhou Muqing simply feels that life is like a play, and when he goes to Wande Commercial Bank again, those shareholders who did not support him have changed their flattery and called themselves "Young Master Zhou", if the old man proposed to delegate power to him at this time, there would definitely be no one to object, but unfortunately the old man did not mention it.
