Chapter Eighty-Five: The Jiang Family
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the weather is approaching winter. At this time, the night of Yanjing came very early, but at six o'clock, the sky was completely dark, and night fell, and darkness covered the land.
As the capital of China, the prosperity of Yanjing is naturally needless to mention. When the golden crow has not completely sunk in the west, and the light is still faintly visible, the lights of thousands of homes have already been lit. The glorious lights seem to replace the sun, continuing the hustle and bustle of the city during the day until the morning light returns.
Even though today's Yanjing is full of modernity, high-rise buildings, and bright lights, as long as this capital is mentioned, the first image of the Chinese people is definitely not these, but the Forbidden City, which once represented the highest power.
Today's Forbidden City, which is also the Forbidden City, has lived 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is also the largest, most majestic and best-preserved imperial complex in the world, consisting of more than 870 buildings and more than 8,700 rooms. Nowadays, it has become the most beautiful scenery in Yanjing, and it is the most open to the public, allowing tourists to enjoy it.
However, is the Forbidden City really open to the outside world today? The 5,000-year-old traditional class concept of feudal society in China cannot be erased by an organ of power that has just been in power for less than 100 years.
The palace architecture of the Forbidden City is laid out in strict and orderly manner, and every inch of bricks and tiles follows the feudal hierarchical etiquette system, reflecting the supreme authority of the emperor. In the era of feudal monarchy, ordinary people could not and did not dare to take a step closer. The scenery is even more charming, in the morning and sunset, like a fairyland on earth. Is there such a place, and those bigwigs of the power organs will allow ordinary people to get involved?
The answer, of course, is no! The Forbidden City is only open to the outside world by a straight road from the Wumen Gate in the south to the Shenwu Gate in the north. Then the question arises, with such a huge complex of the Forbidden City, how is the remaining unopened palace being used?
Idle?
Do you believe it?
Maybe some bigwigs will show their faces in front of the media and say: Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!
In fact......
Those palaces that are not open to the public have long been occupied by a group of bigwigs in the imperial court, and some of them have even been converted into private clubs, and ordinary people will never have the opportunity to enter. This approach is worthy of the class majesty represented by this Forbidden City, isn't it?
The Jiang family, as the only one of the four remaining families in China who participated in politics, did not dare to say that its strength covered the sky with one hand in China, but it could also cover half of it, and there was naturally a share of his family in this Forbidden City.
The origin of the four major families has been impossible to verify, it is said that when Xia Qi turned the public world into a family world, Emperor Yu felt sorry for his other sons, and was afraid that the family world would cause dissatisfaction in the world, so he simply dived out of the family, and gave the surnames Jiang, Huang, Lu and Yue respectively, representing the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the land and the mountains, so that the four families could go out independently and continue to develop, which led to the four families.
If this legend is true, then these four great families are terrifying, and the heritage of more than three thousand years is enough for them to face any violent storm.
In a certain side hall of the Forbidden City, the contemporary head of the Jiang family, who is nearly fifty years old, is concentrating on the text on the case in front of him, taking a sip of tea from time to time, frowning and pondering. Although the appearance of this side hall is still antique, the Jiang family is too large, there are many things for him to make up his mind every day, and the high-rise buildings will only block his vision, compared to this, the small courtyard in this palace is more suitable for him to live and work.
"Huh"
Gently sipping the tea, raising his head and rubbing his somewhat sour neck, Jiang Shan suddenly found that in the extremely calm night sky outside, a thunder light suddenly appeared, he looked carefully at the weather outside, it didn't look like thunder, and he suddenly felt a little weird. But he didn't care, it was just a strange thunderbolt left and right, and it was a matter for the meteorological department.
When Jiang Shan lowered his head again, ready to continue to work on the next article, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, rubbed his temples lightly, laughed at himself, and denied this kind of non-existent idea. The courtyard of a thousand houses around here completely belongs to the Jiang family, with a large number of guards and cameras, and even a bird flying in will be detected, how can anyone approach him.
In a comforting heart, Jiang Shan raised his head. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and goosebumps immediately erupted all over his body, staring directly at the humanoid purple light that suddenly appeared beside him, and a monstrous wave appeared in his heart.
This purple light cluster was naturally Li Chongda, who had carried the Zixia Gong, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he got the information about the Jiang family from Sun Jianguo. You must know that the culture in Chinese history has been broken several times and invaded by barbarians, how did these families escape the catastrophe?
Originally, Li Chongda was ready to destroy the Jiang family with thunderous means and kill all the men, but if you look at the information carefully, the direct descendants of the Jiang family are afraid that there will be no less than thousands, not to mention the side branches, if he kills it, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die, Li Chongda really can't do this ruthless hand, so he can only have a few powerful figures to dissipate his anger.
"You are Jiangshan?" Li Chongda, who was covered in purple qi, asked slowly.
Although there was some panic in his heart, after all, Jiang Shan had been in the top position for a long time, and he had his own bearing, so he immediately adjusted his mentality and said steadily: "Who is Your Excellency?" What is the matter with me? Although his voice was still steady, his left hand under the table had already pressed the handle of the gun, as if the pistol could give him some security.
Li Chongda wanted to laugh a little when he saw this, this Jiang family was really self-righteous, and he didn't even have an interesting grasp of his own information, his mind moved, and the purple qi in his body suddenly soared and spread, enveloping the country and the mountains as well, and said, "Don't you know me?" ”
Entering the range of purple qi, Jiang Shan naturally saw Li Chongda's face, he frowned, but thought about it to no avail, and said categorically: "I have never lived with me." ”
"Looks like I have to remind you that I have a solo flying mech, and some time ago, I killed a man surnamed Jiang. How's that, do you have an impression now? Seeing that Jiang Shan couldn't remember, Li Chongda had no choice but to help him recall, which could be regarded as letting him be a ghost.
Jiang Shan's face changed suddenly, and then he immediately suppressed the horror in his heart, and said calmly: "What do you want to do?" ”
Li Chongda laughed, and only stopped laughing when he burst into tears, slapped his thigh and said, "It's so funny, it's so funny, you sent someone to spy on my house and wanted to rob my things, but now you come to ask me what I want to do?" You don't go to the Spring Festival Gala to play with Uncle Benshan, it's really a condescending talent! ”
Jiang Shan looked stunned for a moment, then stretched, pointed his index finger at Li Chongda, and said angrily: "Jiang Yi, that child was killed by you, and my Jiang family didn't pursue it, what else do you want?" ”
In the eyes of Jiang Shan, Li Chongda is also a platform people, maybe he is a nouveau riche now, but he is a nobleman, although the nobles are sorry for the commoners first, but the nobles will not apologize to the commoners. It is already a great favor for the Jiang family not to continue to pursue it, what does Li Chongda, a stinky pariah, want? So he said this with a lot of confidence!
Li Chongda's face turned cold when he heard this, he raised his right hand, and slapped Jiang Shan in the air.
"Smack"
Although it was a palm wind, the sound of colliding with his face was still crisp, leaving a red five-finger print on Jiang Shan's face.
Li Chongda smiled contemptuously, let out a cold snort with his nose, and said calmly: "Now, do you know what I want to do?" ”
"Are you trying to make an example of the monkeys? It's a pity that you chose the wrong target, the Jiang family is not a chicken, but a Qingluan, and will not be afraid of any storm. You can kill me today, but as long as you leave a trace, you will meet the endless revenge of the 80,000 children of the Jiang family. Jiang Shan didn't care about being slapped in the face, but calmly figured out the analysis, put forward the power of the Jiang family, and wanted to force Li Chongda back with momentum, and then survive.
The Jiang family is not afraid of storms, then I will give you a lightning and thunder!
Li Chongda shook his head regretfully, there is a great fear between life and death, but it is not just talking, even if it is a character like Jiangshan, at this time, he is also confused, and he does not choose to speak. Since he waited to approach him quietly, he naturally had the information about the core of the Jiang family, and anyone who could mobilize the power of the Jiang family, Li Chongda would not allow them to have the qualifications to live, and the Jiang family, which had lost the core figure, would only have a struggle for power and profit in the future, and no one would care about the dead.
I don't want to say more, Li Chongda has explained enough, and when he stepped out, his figure immediately disappeared in place, as if teleporting, and appeared in front of Jiang Shan in the next moment, and his purple right palm slapped lightly at the middle gate of Jiang Shan.
"Bang"
This country is naturally unwilling to wait for death, the moment Li Chongda took a step, he took out a pistol from under the table, and with a movement of his index finger, the trigger was immediately activated, and the bullet was instantly discharged, just meeting Li Chongda's palm.
Jiang Shan is very confident in his marksmanship, in this era of hot weapons, although martial arts training is outdated, but as a child of a family, he has been forced to practice the ability to keep his name since he was a child, marksmanship, he has worked hard!
The family's survival rules are ruthless, they don't accept any threats, if a family child is kidnapped, they don't pay attention, and if they don't have the ability to protect themselves, they still expect him to protect the family? If the family wants to be strong and prosperous, it will not revolve around one person, but everyone must cooperate with the development of the family!
Jiangshan's pistol is a pocket version of Browning, but you can't think that its power is not enough because of this, as the head of the Jiang family, this pistol is naturally custom-made, not comparable to the ordinary goods on the assembly line, the bullet it shoots will not be worse than the power of **, and the recoil is much smaller than **, a bullet can definitely kill an elephant!
