Chapter 19: A Visit to Black Cloud Village
"Godfather, the child is your old man's goodbye!" The next day, Zhang Tianhe came to Heiyun Village and saw Judge Du in the conference hall, he lifted his clothes, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to his godfather.
Judge Du was discussing with his son, Du Lihe, the living king of Yama, and was very happy when he saw that Zhang Tianhe was coming.
"Big brother has always been good? The younger brother is polite. Zhang Tianhe saluted Du Lisi again.
"Hmm." I only heard Du Lisi snort from his nose, nodded slightly, his face sank like water, and he didn't return the salute.
This Du Lisi is as tall as 1.9 meters, has a fat body, is brave and powerful, is good at wrestling, and is proficient in Oriental swordsmanship.
I don't know why, Du Lisi can't look down on Zhang Tianhe, he always feels that he is insidious and cunning, hypocritical, I really can't understand why his father likes him so much, and accepts him as his godson!
Judge Du glared at him when he saw that Du Lisi was very rude, and then came to Zhang Tianhe, helped him up with both hands, and said, "Good boy, there is a future!" I heard that you have recently leveled Zhong'an Fort without bloodshed, and you have made Jin Xiangyang obedient and beautiful! ”
"Godfather, have you heard about this too?" Zhang Tianhe said, "However, it was just a fluke, and it wasn't my own effort." ”
"What's going on in the rivers and lakes that my godfather doesn't know? This big bald head is too unelevated, I treated him as a dish, and sent him a letter to ask him to take care of you, but instead of taking care of you, he sent someone to frame you and want to kill you, how about it? Child, did it hurt you? Judge Du asked with concern.
"No, thank you godfather for your concern."
"That's good, with our current strength to clean him up, it's not a waste of anything, why don't I send someone to completely destroy him Zhong'anbao."
"Godfather, everything has passed, don't be so angry." When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he was also taken aback, he didn't expect his godfather to be old, or to have such a fiery temper, he knew that his godfather could say it, and he could do it.
"Good boy, you are a righteous man. When I first met you, I knew that you were not an ordinary person, and you would definitely have a bright future and get ahead in the future! Judge Du took Zhang Tianhe's hand, kept looking at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "However, child, your shoulders are still narrow, you can't shake it, your godfather still has to criticize you twice: first, you are too reckless, you didn't come to say hello to me and went to risk alone, and almost gave your life, if it weren't for your two good friends Hongzhong and Dongfeng pulling out their swords to help, you would have died for a long time, how dangerous this is, second, you are too merciful, that Jin Xiangyang wants to poison you, wants to harm your life, you caught him, but let him go, As everyone knows, let the tiger return to the mountain, the future is endless, people often say, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, this Jin Xiangyang has always been scheming, ruthless, can you hope that he will change the evil and follow the good? In my opinion, it's unlikely. The rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and in the future, if something happens, you must use your brains more. It's best to come and say hello to us beforehand. ”
"Yes, the boy remembers the teachings of his godfather." Zhang Tianhe was full of concern when he heard his godfather's criticism and blame, and his heart was warm.
Judge Du was full of red light, with a lovely smile, and said: "Tianhe, since you are here today, don't rush back, stay here for a few more days." Did you encounter any difficulties this time? If you don't have the money, just ask. ”
"Godfather, that's not it, I'm here today to ask for something."
"Oh? What's up? ”
"This, this," Zhang Tianhe saw Du Lisi sitting here, looking at him with a calm face, feeling that it might not be convenient to speak, and a little hesitant.
"If there's anything, just say it directly, there's no need to babble," Judge Du said, "You don't have to look at him, the godfather can still be the master." ”
"Godfather, then I'll just say it," Zhang Tianhe said, "I heard that you made the deal of the Centennial Haohe Jewelry Store, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Haha, you kid, you have a pretty good nose, you know all about this," said Judge Du, "yes, we made that deal." ”
"Godfather is like this, the boss of this century-old Haohe jewelry store is called Li Fengxiang, who was a good friend of my father, and now, he begged to come to our door, ask me to discuss with your godfather, and implore my godfather to return those gold, silver and jewelry to them, as far as I know, most of these goods are also carried by them from usury from the merchants, and now the creditors have heard that they have lost the goods, and they have come to the door to force debts, which can be described as miserable, then Li Fengxiang is so anxious to hang himself and wipe his neck, godfather, what do you think about this?"
"Oh? Then Li Fengxiang and your father were good friends? We don't know about this relationship, if we had known, we wouldn't have done this deal," Judge Du laughed, paused, and then said, "Since you have come to this matter in person, then I will send someone to return all the things to them, as if we had never done this deal." ”
"Godfather, what you said is true?" Zhang Tianhe was greatly moved when he heard this, he didn't expect his godfather to speak and act so well, simply.
He hurriedly knelt down again and kowtowed to his godfather in thanks.
"Can godfather still joke when he talks to you?" Judge Du smiled, "Get up quickly, it's all your own family, there's no need for this." ”
But when the living king heard this, his face was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he thought that his father was really old and confused, such a big deal, not to mention worth 100,000 taels of silver, at least worth tens of thousands of taels, dozens of brothers, for two months, tracking, picking, it took a lot of effort from the boss, I don't know how much risk I had, and I finally got it, just by relying on Zhang Tianhe to say these few words, his father promised to return it to others, don't want it, it's really unreasonable! It seems that this Zhang Tianhe is the scourge of their Black Cloud Village, if it continues like this, won't it be necessary to compete with him for family property in the future?
However, since his father had already made the decision, he didn't dare to refute it face-to-face, so he could only hold back his anger secretly.
In the afternoon of this day, Judge Du was very interested, and personally took Zhang Tianhe around the village and looked around.
This black cloud village is really big enough, it can't be turned around in an afternoon, and in all directions, the bunkers and dark posts are arranged in an orderly and indestructible manner!
Zhang Tianhe thought to himself, no wonder the government did not dare to arrest him, there were fewer officers and soldiers, and he was not used at all! This is also me, if you change someone else, it is impossible for you to visit, if you take this road in the future, it seems to be good, but either don't do it, if you want to do it, you will stand on your own and go it alone.
"Tianhe, what do you think of my Black Cloud Village?" Judge Du asked with a smile.
"The godfather is well-managed, like an iron wall, and there is no one in this area to compare." Zhang Tianhe said.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, it's just that I'm getting older and older, and I don't have that energy, little heir, although I say that I have the strength to do it, but I read too few books, I don't have culture, I can't use my brain, if I want to be bigger and stronger, I can't just rely on my strength." In our line of work, we have our head pinned to the waistband of our trousers, and we might lose it one day. ”
"Godfather, you have so many people and such good equipment, are you still afraid of the government?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"Right now, the government can't be busy with this matter, but if you really want to send tens of thousands of troops over, it's not easy to do, so you must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions to do anything.
"Godfather's concerns are very far-reaching."
"I'm old, don't talk about it, talk too much, it's annoying, it's up to you in the future."
In the evening, Zhang Tianhe came to his old godmother's room, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to his godmother.
"Good boy, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly, is your mother okay?" Her godmother asked him.
"If you go back to my godmother, my mother is in good health."
"That's good, that's good," his godmother said, took out a thing from the box, beckoned to him, and said, "You come here, you take this, go back and bring it back to your mother, even if it is my little heart." ”
Zhang Tianhe saw that his godmother was holding a pair of very delicate jade bracelets in her hand, which were crystal clear and beautiful, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Tianhe, I still have a silver ticket of two thousand taels here, you can take it too."
"Thank you godmother for your kindness, I don't want it." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Good boy, it's all your own family, whatever you are polite about, take it."
"Godmother, I really don't want it," Zhang Tianhe said with a smile, "Our life is okay now, and when there are difficulties in the future, I will come to you for help." ”
When his godmother saw that he insisted on not accepting it, she was no longer reluctant.
I only heard her sigh, and then said: "If our family Du Lisi can have half of your filial piety and sensible, then I will thank God and be satisfied." ”
"Godmother, the eldest brother is very good, maybe he is not good at expressing himself." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Little heir, he reads less, does things recklessly, and is not sensible, if in the future, he has something that can't stand you, you must take care of it a little more, you brothers must get along in harmony, you know?"
"Godmother, don't worry, our brothers will definitely get along well."
The two chattered for a while, and Zhang Tianhe got up and retreated.
