Chapter Seventy-Two: The Old Man Died in Turmoil
For the grandmaster A greenhouse dragon talent education Wang Lao plus more
The old crooked died very suddenly, it was a sudden death, and when his men found him in the office, he had been dead for more than half an hour.
After we heard the news, both me and Ma Yiao were a little confused.
How come people are suddenly gone?
came to the old crooked mourning hall, he had confessed to countless people before his death, and he was one of the largest intelligence dealers in the Lingnan area, but the matter behind him was cold.
Anyway, when we arrived, we found that not many people had come to visit, perhaps because they had been dead for several days.
He had no descendants, he once had a son, but he died at the age of seven, and since then, his style has changed a lot, he is more willing to help people, and sometimes he acts a little less like a businessman.
He said it was a prayer for his dead son.
The family members in the mourning hall, in addition to his old wife who came from his hometown in the Chaoshan countryside, only the nephew we saw before, Zheng Yong.
The two of them were wearing filial piety clothes, perhaps because they cried too much, and their spirits were a little weak, especially his old wife, whose eyes were red, and there was a thick layer of eye feces at the corners of her eyes.
She obviously still can't believe the facts in front of her, how can a good person suddenly not work?
Compared with before, his nephew Zheng Yong seems to be much more sensible, and treats people very decently, when we finished the incense, the family replied, he bowed his hand to us, and said sadly: "Thank you two for coming to worship my uncle, thank you, thank you." ”
The other party's family left the funeral, and Ma Yiao didn't take it too seriously, and said to him: "When will I be buried?" ”
There are two types of funerals, one is burial and the other is cremation.
For the dead, there is no difference, but for the living, it has a different meaning, but those who have the ability to be buried will not choose cremation, and the old crooked industry leader is naturally sent back to the countryside Chaoshan hometown for burial.
Zheng Yong replied to us, saying that today is the last day, and he will leave tomorrow and be sent back to his hometown in the countryside for burial.
Ma Yiao heard it, glanced at the old crooked black and white statue on the mourning hall, and after a long time, he asked another thing: "What about Fortune Zhang?" ”
Fa Cai Zhang is the middle-aged fat man we met that day, he is Lao Crook's deputy, and now since Lao Crook is not here for sudden death, then our affairs can only be discussed with him.
After all, the crooked man, the one who knows the most about the situation at present, is probably him.
However, Zheng Yong gave a very stunned answer: "That dead fat man, as soon as his uncle died, he went to Corner Seven." ”
What the?
I didn't understand it a little, and Ma Yiao explained to me: "Corner Seven is one of the crooked competitors, and it is also the biggest one, and he is in Guancheng. ”
After that, he asked with some doubts: "No, Lao Crooked and Corner Seven are mortal enemies, it stands to reason that Fa Cai Zhang should not do such a thing." ”
Zheng Yong said with a gloomy face: "These people have received great favors from my uncle, but they are all selfish people, my uncle's bones are not cold, he left with several of his guys, I don't talk about the old feelings at all, I remember it, and when my uncle's funeral is over, I will settle accounts with them." ”
When Ma Yiao heard his words, he immediately grasped the key point and asked, "What do you mean, that you will be in charge of this matter in the future?" ”
Zheng Yong didn't answer, but turned his head to look at the aunt next to him.
The crooked old wife said with a tired face: "I'm old, uneducated, and don't like to move, there is no one in the old man's family, and my family Ah Yong has a little bit of talent, just let him take over, earn some money in the future, and give me some living expenses......"
She babbled and spoke, Ma Yiao listened patiently, and then called Zheng Yong aside.
He took up the money we had kept in the crooked account.
Although it is not appropriate to withdraw money at this time, the other party has changed the person in charge, and it is still Zheng Yong, and Ma Yiao does not have much patience.
After listening to Ma Yiao's words, Zheng Yong's attitude was quite good.
He said to us: "I have just taken over, I am doing my uncle's funeral these days, and I have not had time to straighten out the business things, so let me have a few days, and when I straighten things out, I will immediately start to deal with this matter for you, rest assured, my uncle has been educating me, saying that people cannot stand without faith, so as long as the money is there, they will not run away, and I Zheng Yong will definitely not insult the signboard and reputation that my uncle spent 30 years erecting." ”
He agreed very simply, without the slightest bit of mud and water, he was really a good young man with grief and hard work, Ma Yiao couldn't say much, and after a few words of comfort, he left with me.
As soon as he went out, his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The old crooked death is strange." ”
My impression of Zheng Yong was not very good, and when I thought of him, I immediately remembered the resentment in the corners of his eyes when he lowered his head when we left from Lao Wei's place.
I couldn't help it a little just now, I saw Ma Yiao talking to him there, and thought that Ma Yiao believed him, but when I heard these words, I knew that he was so smart, just a false and wronged snake, so I hurriedly asked: "Yes, what did you find?" ”
Ma Yiao said: "First of all, the first point, Lao Wei is also a cultivator, although he is not very powerful, but his body has always been good, and sudden death is very unreasonable. ”
I said yes, yes, you contacted us a few days ago, why can't you do it all of a sudden, it's a big problem.
Ma Yiao said again: "Even if the old crooked really has some problems, it suddenly can't work, but what about making a fortune?" There are also a few old brothers around him, none of them showed up at this time, not even the Ah Shui who had been with us for a few days did not appear, but a Zheng Yong with a low status presided over the overall situation here, not to mention anything else, this is very nonsense. Lao Crooked is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will never be nepotistic, so even if he dies, no matter what, it will not be his turn Zheng Yong to take the lead, even if he has the support of Lao Crook's wife, it is impossible. ”
I said what you mean, is it because the gang of wealthy Zhang fell out with Zheng Yong and his crooked wife, so they didn't appear here?
Ma Yiao shook his head and said no, you didn't understand what I meant to get rich Zhang and the gang are old brothers who started from scratch and fought the world with the old crooked, no matter how villain Zheng Yong is and how confused the old sister-in-law is, they can grasp the scene, instead of going away in anger, and don't even handle the old crooked funeral, because in this way, they will not have the face to mess with the rivers and lakes in the future.
So, there must be something wrong here.
I thought of Zheng Yong's criminal record, and couldn't help but say: "I don't think that hanging Mao Mo is colluding with outsiders and wants to occupy his uncle's property, and the wealthy Zhang and his gang feel that they can't fight outsiders, so they don't show up?" ”
Ma Yiao nodded, yes, it is very likely that you may be on the point.
When I heard this, I couldn't calm down, and said a little anxiously: "If that's the case, then you are still so calm?" Shall we quickly dismantle him and get the money back? ”
Ma Yiao shook his head and said no, it's not about money anymore, let's go, let's get out of here first, and then we'll talk about it later.
He led me into the alley on the side of the street, walked for a while, suddenly hid, and waited, and I saw him like this, and knew that he was counter-reconnaissance, and obviously worried that someone would follow us.
The two walked and stopped, turning and turning.
After walking for more than half an hour, after making sure that no one was following me, Ma Yiao took me to the bus, came to a guest house near Lianhuashan Park, opened two rooms next door to live, and then he went to the shop at the intersection to make a phone call.
The person on the other side of the phone is Zheng Yong's biggest competitor, the seventh corner of Guancheng.
Zheng Yong opened his mouth to speak, without any scruples, but he never thought that Ma Yiao might be able to contact this old crooked competitor.
The rivers and lakes are huge.
It's also very small.
For Ma Yiao, Corner Seven is acquainted, and as soon as he came up, he mocked, saying that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, aren't you an old crooked customer, how did you find me here?
Ma Yiao didn't go around the bend with him, and went straight to the point, asking if Facai Zhang was there for him? He wanted to find a fortune Zhang.
Corner Seven sneered and said to make a fortune? Even if that guy goes to sell chrysanthemums, he can't follow me.
Corner Seven denied Zheng Yong's statement, and for Ma Yiao's other inquiries, this guy was business-like, saying that you want to give money, and I will provide you with any news If you don't have money, I'm sorry, let's hang up, my consulting fee is quite high.
After hanging up the phone with Corner Seven, Ma Yiao turned around and said with a heavy heart: "The money, I may not be able to get it back." ”
I'm a little anxious, that's 450,000 US dollars, and Ma Yiao and I are desperate to come back.
I said why don't we go to Zheng Yong again?
Ma Yiao shook his head and said goodbye, since Zheng Yong's guy dared to suppress Fa Cai Zhang and the others, then he must have pulled foreign aid, maybe he would have closed the net a long time ago, waiting for us, now the wind is too tight, we still can't be hard, let's take a look.
I said what are you waiting for?
Ma Yiao said that there are so many crooked brothers, it is impossible for them to be dealt with by Zheng Yong, let's go back and find out, and understand the situation first.
After making a phone call, the two returned to the guest house, and because they were not in a good mood, they went to bed early.
I was lying on the bed, thinking about things, I couldn't sleep, my eyelids jumped, I simply didn't sleep, I sat cross-legged, and started to practice, I don't know how long it took, and all of a sudden, I heard a roar from the next room, and then the whole building shook.
Rumble......
On the wall by the window, at this time, there were several huge cracks.
