In October, it is the season of osmanthus fragrance, there is a row of osmanthus trees standing on the shore of Puyang Lake in Jiyang City, the golden autumn is delicate, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, once the flowers bloom, the fragrance floats for ten miles.

Many young men and women with feelings will meet here at dusk to complain to each other, a little timid and thin-skinned, can only stand on both sides of the lake and look at each other from afar, and the more daring may secretly pass a small note full of love words, written with a sea oath, but few couples can accompany each other for a lifetime.

There is a teahouse by Puyang Lake, Ye Shouan and Wang Laoba brothers are sitting here to talk about things, Wang Laoba is a rough man, he has never seen the world, and he has no intention of tasting tea, and he just sat down and talked about the purpose of the two brothers coming this time.

The Northeast was liberated last year, and on the eve of liberation, the brothers looted several Kuomintang officials who were about to flee to Taiwan, made a lot of gold, and after dividing up the property with their minions, they washed their hands and stopped being bandits.

The brothers were carrying a bag full of gold bars and were ready to go south to Guangzhou, and then smuggle to Hong Kong to take root, but as soon as they arrived in Guangzhou, they were robbed by a local gang of bandits.

The brothers had no money, so they could only live on the streets of Guangzhou, with nowhere to go and starvation, the bald tiger was so hungry that he shed tears, and Wang Laoba's eyes were full of hunger. At this time, an old Taoist showed kindness and bought a claypot rice for each of them, so that the brothers did not starve to death on the streets of Guangzhou.

"Then how did you come to ZJ?" Ye Shou'an asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Boss Ye, after you listen to me, it was that old man who asked the two of us to come, he is really a living immortal, as soon as he sees the two of us, he knows that we know each other! He said let the two of us come to you and work for you for two years, and the bag of gold bars will be back without a penny!" said the bald tiger excitedly, as if the gold bars that had been snatched away were still in his hands.

"This... Is that Taoist priest's surname Liu?" Ye Shouan frowned.

"I don't know, but looking at what he says seems to be quite godly, our brothers plan to believe him once, anyway, the gold is robbed and can't be recovered, it's better to wait for you for two years, when the gold can come back, it's my fate, if I can't come back, Lao Tzu will also accept his fate! We have worked in Guangzhou for a few months and saved enough money for train tickets to buy tickets, anyway, Boss Ye, you also know us, and you won't suffer a loss for your work!" Wang Laoba raised his neck and drank the tea in the cup, choking and coughing.

"Since the two of you have come to join me, I will not wronged the two of you, but I haven't taken care of anything for nearly a year, and now I am my eldest daughter. You two just came to Jiyang, rest and rest for the past two days, and I will ask Guihua to arrange a place for you. Ye Shouan didn't think much about it after understanding the intention of the two, so he agreed to find an errand for the two.

When they were about to part, Ye Shouan suddenly thought of something, so he asked the bald tiger: "Do you still smoke a lot?"

The bald tiger swallowed his spit and said, "I don't smoke anymore, I quit a long time ago, and now I feel sorry for the money I spent on smoking big cigarettes at that time!"

Two days later, Wang Lao and his starlings were arranged by Ye Guihua in Liu Laoshi's security office, responsible for the safety of each factory, and the daily work of the two brothers was to patrol the factory with a baton, leisurely, and eat chicken, duck, fish, and rice.

Wang Laoba thought, go fucking for two years, don't care if he will have gold bars in two years, just like this, it will be a blessing to mix here for a lifetime!

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the factories and companies have been closed, the employees have received their salaries and gone home for the New Year, and the Ye family is also ready to have a good Spring Festival, but before the fifth day of the new year, an accident occurred in a weaving factory of Ye's enterprise, the lock of the cloth factory warehouse was smashed open, and the half warehouse of cloth hoarded was poured with oil, and there was nothing left of the fire. The cloth factory is located in the center of the Ye family's factory, surrounded by the Ye family's various industries, fortunately at this time the workers are on holiday, and there is no electricity in the warehouse, otherwise the wires will catch fire, and I am afraid that the entire Ye factory will be burned down.

Ye Guihua is still young in the end, although he is quite smart in business, but his brain is not bright when he encounters major events, her first reaction after hearing the news is that it was Zhao Genta's doing, because during this year, the Ye family and the Zhao family were fighting fiercely in secret, and the means of entering the flow were all carried out on the surface, and the government was busy purging the Kuomintang spies, turning a blind eye to this kind of struggle between businessmen, as long as it did not harm the interests of the country, everything was easy to say, and when both sides lost, the government would come forward to mediate the acquisition and reap the profits.

Every time the two sides compete, it will inevitably affect some small shrimp enterprises, and the business people in Jiyang are busy standing in line, and those with vision have chosen to advance and retreat with the Ye family, because although Yanzhao Industry is now fighting with the new government, Zhao Genta has a low vision and a small pattern.

Although the Ye family was "bought" by the government a year ago, half of the industry was "bought" by the government, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and they all said that Ye Shou'an, the old fox, had a large amount of money saved abroad, and I don't know if it was true or not, even if it was fake, according to the speed of the Ye family's daughter's wealth, I am afraid that in less than five years, the Ye family's assets will be far better than the heyday of Ye Shou'an's reign.

Out of the fire, Ye Guihua believed that it must have been done by Zhao Genta according to common sense, but Ye Shouan didn't think so, although he didn't ask about the world for more than a year, but the old friends who came to visit often intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Ye Guihua's violence in the business world, Ye Shouan has relinquished power, and he doesn't want to ask Ye Guihua how to act, how the Ye family will be in the future, and they have their own children to fulfill it.

Ye Shouan thinks that although Zhao Genta is a violent tiger Feng He, he will not be so stupid as to be so bold, Zhao Genta is now in full swing, and he has the support of the government, so he will not use this kind of indiscriminate method against the weak Ye family.

"Who could it be?" Gui Hua, if you think it was Zhao Genta who did it, let's go and set him on fire too!" Wang Laoba squatted in the corner and smoked a cigarette, and suddenly a sentence came out. In the past few months, he has worked in the Ye family, the Ye family is not thin on him, he is not a wolf-hearted person, he understands the truth of repaying the peach, his former cottage was burned beyond recognition, and the culprit of arson has long been far away from other countries, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet in this life, Wang Laoba has revenge and is already resentful, and now the Ye family factory has also suffered a fire, he is even more upset, and he would rather kill by mistake than retaliate.

"Lao Wang, don't worry, I don't think it's Zhao Genta, he doesn't dare. Ye Shouan hurriedly dissuaded the reckless Wang Laoba, for fear that this murderous demon would cause some trouble.

I couldn't find out who did it, so I had to put this matter aside for the time being, and in the next year, Ye Fulu was already three years old, led by eight-year-old Ye Cuihua, the sister and brother had a deep relationship, but Cuihua also had times when she was naughty with her younger brother.

On this day, Ye Cuihua, who was already in the first grade of primary school, looked at his younger brother who was concentrating on piling up the thin skin and tender meat of the blocks when he was sharpening the pencil, and took the pencil sharpener and lightly scratched Ye Fulu's little nose, the thin blade was very difficult to sharpen on the pencil, and the little nose of his younger brother's fine skin and tender flesh was briskly cut through the skin, and a thin piece of skin on Ye Fulu's nose was crossed off, and blood gushed out in an instant, so frightened that Ye Cuihua hurriedly ran out to call someone, and Ye Shou'an, who heard the news, was also in a hurry, listening to Ye Cuihua's panicked expression, it was she who scratched her brother, and there was a lot of blood, he loved this son very much, after all, it was his sustenance, so he ran around the house and sent someone to invite Lang Zhong.

But after the father and daughter entered the room, they found that Ye Fulu was still playing with the building blocks just now, and when they saw Ye Shou'an coming in, they looked up and smiled, their nose was intact, how could there be any wounds?

In the days that followed, Ye Cuihua always tossed and turned at night, at the age of eight or nine, with two dark circles under her eyes every day, and she was often put on the line by the teacher because she slept in class.

Ye Fulu is three years old, and it is also the third anniversary of the death of Ye's wife Ou Fengru. Ye Shouan didn't make wine for his son that day, but just told the eight brothers Wang Lao and the Guihua Cuihua sisters to eat at home today. At dinner, an extra bowl of longevity noodles was added to the table, Ye Fulu spit it out after eating a bite, Ye Shouan thought it was not delicious, and he didn't force it anymore, he was a person who lived a life, and he couldn't see that he was ruining the food, so he took the noodles and prepared to eat them himself, but Ye Fulu suddenly stretched out his little hand and desperately blocked the chopsticks that Ye Shouan was sending to his mouth.

"Dad, don't eat it, it's poisonous. Ye Fulu opened his mouth, and his words made everyone present tremble, Wang Laoba had a rough personality, thinking that it was Ye Fulu's joke, and rewarded Xiao Fulu with a chestnut heartlessly, and continued to clink glasses with the bald tiger to eat wine, but Ye Shouan didn't dare to think that this was a child's words, because he was very suspicious that his son Ye Fulu was the reincarnation of the little fox fairy, so he quietly called Liu Laoshi and asked him to invite a Western doctor to come to the house.

Not long after, Liu Laoshi walked in with a doctor in a white coat.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Why did you invite a doctor to come to the house?" The bald tiger chewed dried bamboo shoots in his mouth, gaba gaba.

Ye Shouan said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been dizzy lately, and I've been conditioned by traditional Chinese medicine, it's too slow, and I want to find a Western doctor to take a look." "Now it is unknown whether the bowl of noodles is poisonous or not, so it is better to hide it from the two outsiders in front of you.

"Take the doctor to my yard, watch the tea and sit down for a while, and I'll come right away." ”

In Ye Shou'an's room, the doctor carefully examined the bowl of noodles, and Ye Shou'an was dazzled by the way and method, and after a while, the doctor spoke: "Mr. Ye, this noodle is poisonous, to be exact, it should be poisonous in the noodle soup." ”

"Is it really poisonous?" Ye Shou'an gritted his teeth with hatred, this is the longevity of his youngest son, and someone actually came to poison it! If Ye Fulu eats it, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"What poison?"

The doctor's answer made Ye Shouan angry: "Arsenic trioxide is what we usually call arsenic. Not very much, but enough to poison an adult. ”

Ye Shouan was just about to give orders for a thorough investigation, but suddenly thought that since the problem was his son's longevity, the person who poisoned him was only afraid that he was close to him, and it was impossible for the eight brothers to be Wang, because the two of them did not have the time to commit the crime, they must be family thieves!

At this time, Ye Shouan deeply felt that the entire Ye family was already in danger, and he also felt that the grass and trees were all soldiers, and everyone was suspicious.

At the banquet again, the two old and old brothers had already left and returned to the factory, Gui Hua and Cuihua were coaxing Xiao Fulu, making Ye Fulu giggle.

After this incident, Ye Shouan was convinced that his son was the reincarnation of the little fox fairy back then, if it wasn't for an immortal, who would have noticed that there was poison in that ordinary bowl of noodles?

When looking at Ye Fulu again, Ye Shouan was full of emotion, Liu Daochang said that he still had sixteen years of fate with the little fox fairy, this year is the third year, and there will be thirteen more years, maybe Ye Fulu's life is over, maybe his soul has returned to the west, and Ye Shouan is looking forward to the latter.

"Cuihua, didn't you rest well, and your eye circles were inked?" Ye Shouan teased Ye Cuihua, Ye Cuihua stopped talking, and said with a smile that he didn't apply ink, and his schoolwork was heavy, and he had to write his homework late every day.

Ye Shouan hugged Ye Fulu and lifted him above his head and put him on his neck, Xiao Fulu laughed even more, stretched out his little finger and pointed out the house, and shouted: "Fox, fox......"

Ye Cuihua looked in the direction Ye Fulu pointed, and was so frightened that she hid directly behind Ye Guihua, Ye Shouan also looked towards the window, only to see a few yellow-haired foxes standing outside the window, pious and respectful. Ye Guihua also saw this scene, and when she came back to her senses, there was nothing outside the window, only branches and leaves that were blown by the wind.

Ye Shouan glanced at Ye Fulu, which was meaningful.

At dawn, the servant found a basket at the window where the fox had stood yesterday, full of dead mice, frogs, and pheasants, and the pheasants were still alive, unbound, but unable to jump out of the rattan basket.

Ye Shouan told Ye Guihua about the poisonous noodles, and observed his daughter's reaction while talking, but found that Guihua was more angry than himself, clamoring to report to the official, and then check all the servants, let the two old and old brothers interrogate one by one, and once they found out, they would be sent to the police station.

Ye Shouan thinks that it is inappropriate to report to the official, this kind of thing still has to be carried out in secret, Wang Laoba and Liu Laoshi can be trusted, and they might as well hand over this matter to them. Ye Shouan continued to chat with Ye Guihua for a few words, and then went back to the study.

It's October again, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the city is overflowing, Ye Cuihua opened the window at night, smelled the fragrance, and then continued to write his homework contentedly.

"Lao Wang, Huzi, you two have been at home for two years, and what the Taoist chief said at that time now seems to be just the words of a warlock, and it is not enough to believe it. If you two brothers can afford me Ye Shou'an, you will continue to live in our house, and if you have my family's old snacks, you will never be treated badly. Ye Shouan looked at the white head and said sincerely.

"Brother Ye, we have long known that the old way is a Mongolian people, how can we believe it if we run the rivers and lakes? If the gold can't come back, it won't come back, so we two of us have also become the god of wealth on the way, haha, anyway, now you are just letting the two of us go, and we won't leave, follow you to work, steadfast!" Wang Laoba was very arrogant, and he spoke straightly, and Ye Shou'an, who said something, was also down-to-earth, after all, they were familiar with each other, and they had been with each other day and night for two years.

After several months of investigation by Wang Laoba, the servants of the family checked one by one, and finally caught the murderer of poisoning, it was Chen Liu, the kitchen assistant chef, according to his confession, it can basically be determined that Zhao Genta was behind the instigation, the purpose was to let the Ye family cut off the only seedling, so that the Ye family was panicked and had no intention of doing business, and he could defeat the Ye family more quickly.

"Guihua, what should you do with this kid?" The bald tiger stepped on Chen Liu, who was lying on the ground and was dying, and asked Ye Guihua.

"Kill! But you can't let him die so easily, Uncle Hu, you give him all the torture in your cottage before, and then let him die." Ye Guihua said lightly, his voice was not loud, but it made people feel chilling.

The bald tiger scratched his shiny head and said embarrassedly, "I've been here before." ”

"Then just bury it!"

"Buried alive?"

"Hmm. ”

The bald tiger dragged Chen Liu, who had already peed his pants scared, and walked out, thinking as he walked: The daughter of the Ye family is so powerful at a young age, how strong will the son of the Ye family be when he grows up?
