Chapter 60: Back to the City
Zhuang Feng really just looked calm, but his heart was already churning;
From the moment he returned to Jiangzhou, the journey was very smooth, and he did not encounter the deliberate difficulties of other characters; except for a few assassinations, he did not encounter the attack of open fire;
In the past three or four months, Zhuang Feng has looked very smooth, and the people around Zhuang Feng are also very happy, after all, who wants to shed blood and kill, everything is going well, of course this is a good thing;
Only Zhuang Feng has been holding this thought in his heart, everything comes too smoothly and sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing; for this reason, Zhuang Feng is also making various preparations; he has estimated the power of all parties, but he has not been sure who will do anything to him Zhuang Feng;
Especially when he learned that Zhou Jian was still alive and Tang Guiyi was in charge of Shaozhou, Zhuang Feng also ruled out many possibilities, and even Zhuang Feng himself felt that he was a little nervous;
With Zhou Jian alive and Tang Guiyi in charge of Shaozhou, who else in the southwest has the strength to attack Zhuang Feng?
Ten years ago, Zhuang Feng was also an extremely conceited person, but now Zhuang Feng has converged a lot;
The southwest does not have enough strength to attack him Zhuang Feng, but Jindu has a lot;
Now, what should come is still coming;
Sorting out his thoughts, Zhuang Feng probably figured out the reason for the matter;
Wu Jinwen reached an agreement with Zhuang Feng to give up the power of Jiangzhou; Wu Jinwen couldn't hold it back even if he wanted to hide it, although Wu Jinwen only went to Jiangzhou excessively, but it was also a state town, and naturally there was a standard procedure to pay attention to, and Zhuang Feng also killed Wu Jinwen's guards, they would naturally report it to the old man of the Wu family, which naturally caused the anger of Jindu;
The anger from Jindu naturally has to be solved;
According to the usual practice, there will be a so-called personal assistant who will naturally find He Xu according to the information and promise a higher return;
The highest position of the local official in the local area is the deputy governor, but he can also be promoted to other places, if he is willing to give up the local advantages and become the chief official in other places, this is also possible;
I think He Xu is also willing to go higher, or who doesn't want to go higher and farther;
From this point of view, He Xu's rebellion is actually nothing hateful, human nature is like this, and no one can be blamed; after all, Zhuang Feng has not given He Xu any help for ten years, and his current status is also earned by He Xu himself;
Just like a boss who does not pay his employees for ten years, and still demands loyalty from employees, and even asks employees to share part of the money they earn to this boss, such a boss is either idiotic or naïve;
Zhuang Feng is not an idiot, and he has passed the age of naivety; Zhuang Feng asked He Xu for his loyalty, and he also made up his salary; but he has been in arrears for too long, even if he makes up the salary, there will be no more loyalty in return;
Zhuang Feng understood, and after thinking about it, he calmly accepted the reason for He Xu's rebellion;
He Xu accepted the benefits from Jindu, and naturally he needed to pay something, or the benefits were promised, it depended on whether He Xu would be a man;
Without the support of Zhuang's ten years, He Xu not only did not go backwards, but took a step forward, and at the same time did not reveal his identity, which naturally belongs to the master who knows how to deal with people;
To sum up, Zhuang Feng can understand He Xu's rebellion, but as the head of the family, he will not agree with the betrayal;
Since Zhuang Feng returned to Jiangzhou, the relationship between Jia Hongde and Zhuang Feng is known as long as there is a person in Jiangzhou City; therefore, listening to Ye Tao say that He Xu hooked up with Jia Hongde, in Zhuang Feng's opinion, this is normal, if he changes his position to do this, Zhuang Feng will also make such a choice;
As for Wu Hui, it couldn't be simpler; Wu Hui had never sworn allegiance to Zhuang Feng, and as soon as Zhuang Feng came back, he robbed the trading company that people had worked hard for ten years, and not only that, but also put a little girl in her twenties sitting on Wu Hui's head, which had to change her temper, and she had to give Zhuang Feng a big ear shave on the spot;
With Wu Hui's participation, it is also reasonable, but it is a little unexpected;
Originally, Zhuang Feng just thought that Wu Hui would embarrass Xiaoyu, and there would inevitably be a dispute with Xiaoyu, but he didn't expect Wu Hui to have such great courage;
Maybe Wu Hui herself really doesn't have the courage to go against Zhuang Feng, or Wu Hui is still a person who knows how to be grateful, not Zhuang Feng but Zheng Shan, after all, Zheng Shan let her go from the daughter of a commissary owner to today;
But when He Xu and Jia Hongde reached an agreement, they naturally needed funds, and Wu Hui became the best candidate at this time; Wu Hui has grown up under the protection of Zheng Shan for many years, if it is only in business, it can be regarded as a figure; however, for deeper battles, it is much worse, at least it can't resist the temptation of He Xu, the main hall of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Police Department and Jia Hongde, an old gangster who has been mixed up in the rivers and lakes for most of his life;
A person who is not from the Zhuang family, a woman who has contradictions with Zhuang Feng, and also holds a huge amount of wealth, such a candidate, if Zhuang Feng does this by himself, then he will definitely have to pull Wu Hui into the water;
Zhuang Feng sorted out his thoughts and straightened out the cause of this matter, and then he only needed to do a collision of strength;
It's just that Zhuang Feng still needs more information, what is the strength in the hands of Jia Hongde and He Xu, this Zhuang Feng is not sure;
Zhuang Feng's thoughts drifted wildly, Ye Tao drove quietly and quickly rushed back to Jiangzhou under the torrential rain;
"Young Master, it's here;" When Zhuang Feng was still thinking about something, Ye Tao said loudly;
Zhuang Feng retracted his thoughts, Ye Tao had already gotten out of the car and opened the car door for Zhuang Feng;
Zhuang Feng got out of the car, and the guard next to him held an umbrella for Zhuang Feng;
"The proprietress has the snack bar closed?" Zhuang Feng got out of the car and took a look, and found that he was not on the side of the road in the snack bar, so he asked more out loud there;
"In an emergency, the proprietress said that the snack bar is not very safe, so it will be changed here temporarily;" Ye Tao explained to him respectfully;
Zhuang Feng listened to Ye Tao's explanation, smiled, knew it in his heart, and didn't say anything more, just followed Ye Tao into a somewhat old ordinary residential area next to him;
"Boss lady;" Zhuang Feng followed Ye Tao to an ordinary bungalow, looked at Ao Xiuzhi, and greeted there;
"It's okay;" Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng and looked quite relieved there;
For the sudden attack, Ao Xiuzhi's reaction was a step slower, and she didn't receive the news in advance, and Zhuang Fengbian left alone on this day, and even Xu Wei and Yang Lin didn't take it with him, so he went back to worship the old man alone;
At the time of that drastic change, Ao Xiuzhi's first reaction was whether Zhuang Feng was in danger alone;
Zhuang Feng went back to the old house alone to worship the old man, and only Ao Xiuzhi Meng Yuanhua and Xu Wei Yang Lin knew, thinking of this made Ao Xiuzhi breathe a sigh of relief;
Ao Xiuzhi believed in the loyalty of Meng Yuanhua, Xu Wei and Yang Lin, but still sent Ye Tao to personally lead people to pick up Zhuang Feng;
"I'll leave for a while, what's the matter?" Zhuang Feng watched Ao Xiuzhi put down the big stone in his heart with there, and didn't say anything, just talked to the business there;
As he spoke, Zhuang Feng also sat down on the sofa by himself;
"The latest intelligence feedback;" Ao Xiuzhi casually threw a folder on the table to Zhuang Feng;
"Find a body to dry your clothes;" Zhuang Feng casually flipped through the folder, and realized that he was soaked all over, and said there;
After Zhuang Feng finished speaking, Ye Tao went out and quickly got a set of clean clothes back to the car;
Originally, Ye Tao wanted to say this when he was responding to Zhuang Feng, but Zhuang Feng's silent appearance made Ye Tao not dare to speak;
Ye Tao and Zhuang Feng are not familiar with each other, and because of their work, they are on the dark side, so they do not take care of Zhuang Feng as well as Xu Wei and Yang Lin;
Zhuang Feng took the clothes, stood up, Ao Xiuzhi pointed to the room, and then Zhuang Feng went in, not long after, Zhuang Feng changed into clean clothes and came out, and there were no more words, just habitually lit a cigarette, and continued to flip through the folder that Ao Xiuzhi threw to him;
After a long time, Zhuang Feng looked through the documents that Ao Xiuzhi threw to him very seriously, and said there: "It seems that I have to eat the old book this time;"
"This time is really tricky;" Ao Xiuzhi had already read the documents, and knew that this time the matter was a little tricky;
Judging from Ao Xiuzhi's intelligence report, it is not only that He Xu is hitching Jia Hongde and Wu Hui to be unfavorable to Zhuang Feng, but the Jindu family has sent an elite army, which seems to be to kill Zhuang Feng;
This Zhuang Feng is understandable, after all, no one wants to watch Zhuang Feng swallow the southwest half of the country again;
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth;
"Let's eat hot pot at night;" Zhuang Feng didn't cause any unpleasantness because of that intelligence report, at least Zhuang Feng didn't seem to have it on the surface, and he was still discussing with him what to eat at night;
"Eating hot pot?" Ao Xiuzhi was a little unable to keep up with Zhuang Feng's thinking;
In such a situation at the moment, Ben pointed to Zhuang Feng coming back to deal with it, but how did he know that after reading the intelligence report, the first thing Zhuang Feng said was to eat hot pot at night, which made Ao Xiuzhi a little confused;
"Sister-in-law, I remember that you can make hot pot, I haven't eaten it for more than ten years, let's try it again, and let the little brother recall the beautiful memory;" Zhuang Feng said half-jokingly;
"Really eat hot pot?" Ao Xiuzhi didn't think of any beautiful memories because of Zhuang Feng's words;
"I want to eat hot pot;" Zhuang Feng looked quite earnest;
"Okay;" Ao Xiuzhi didn't understand what Zhuang Feng was trying to do, and said helplessly there;
"Also, eat hot pot, Ye Tao, eat hot pot at night, why don't you react;" Zhuang Feng got Ao Xiuzhi's promise, and said happily like a child there;
Ye Tao quietly watched Ao Xiuzhi and Zhuang Feng chatting there, listening to Zhuang Feng's words, he really didn't know how to pick up the stubble;
"Forget it, you people in the West Courtyard have this temper, don't eat and pull down;" Zhuang Feng looked at Ye Tao, who had no reaction, and said a little unhappily there;
"Xiaozhuang, you, I don't know what to say, just do what you love, don't care;" Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng's indecent appearance, as if he didn't know what the situation in front of him was, and he was a little anxious there;
"What's the matter, I said eat the old book;" Zhuang Feng didn't understand that Ao Xiuzhi was suddenly a little hot there;
Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng and the still unrelated appearance there, and her teeth itched with hatred, and she didn't even know what to say;
"He Xu is just a dog in our family, just dare to bark twice, slaughter the hot pot at night, don't worry about the fire;" Zhuang Feng still looked like that, and said there;
"I'm going to fry the base;" Ao Xiuzhi listened to Zhuang Feng's words and said inexplicably there;
At least Ye Tao heard that Ao Xiuzhi's words were a little inexplicable, and he was in a hurry just now, so he really went to make a hot pot now?
Ye Tao couldn't understand Zhuang Feng's words, but Ao Xiuzhi did;
Although Zhuang Feng is the head of the Zhuang family, he will never say anything like the people below him are just dogs raised in the family;
In this way, Zhuang Feng said twice, the first time was when he was exiled by the old guys led by the four elders of the Tang clan, and the second time was now;
When the old man Zhuang died, a group of old guys led by the four elders of the Tang family doubted Zhuang Feng's ability and made trouble in front of the old man Zhuang's mourning hall.
After finishing speaking, before the old guys of the four elders of Tang Lao reacted, Zhuang Feng went away with him;
Faced with the current situation, Zhuang Feng wanted to eat hot pot again, and said the same thing there; although Ao Xiuzhi didn't know Zhuang Feng's plan, he was no longer in a hurry to get angry;
Zhuang Feng is like this, when facing a predicament, he will always be silent, and after silence, there will be corresponding countermeasures;
"Ye Tao, go pick up Hua'er and take them to the snack bar;" Zhuang Feng looked at Ao Xiuzhi and promised to fry the hot pot, and said a little more to there;
"Yes;" Ye Tao didn't know what Zhuang Feng was talking to Ao Xiuzhi at all, but he also knew what he could ask and what he couldn't say;
Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Ye Tao answered, and then left;
"Sister-in-law, use the phone;" Ye Tao left, and Zhuang Feng said aloud with him;
"What the hell do you kid think?" Ao Xiuzhi casually picked up a phone on the table and handed it to Zhuang Feng, and asked aloud at the same time;
Although he understood that Zhuang Feng already had a plan to deal with it, he was still curious to know;
"Sister-in-law, you know the rules, although you are my own sister-in-law, you are also the head of the West Courtyard;" Zhuang Feng changed the appearance of the joke and said very seriously;
"It's a matter of asking;" Ao Xiuzhi said in a blocked tone, but she didn't ask anything more;
Zhuang Feng's words are very polite, according to the rules, that is, do your own thing, don't ask blindly if you don't have permission to know, if you have to inquire, then you can only sink the river according to the rules of the old courtyard;
Zhuang Feng smiled, making a phone call in his hand, not paying attention to Ao Xiuzhi's angry appearance;
"Happy, are you having a good time?" the phone was connected, and Zhuang Feng said to the habitual there;
"Of course I'm happy, if my daughter-in-law grows up soon, I'll be even happier;" Zhou Jian on the other end of the phone said there;
"I'm not in the mood, immediately send Yunyu to Jiangzhou;" Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's joke and exchanged serious words with there;
"Okay;" Zhou Jian listened to Zhuang Feng's words and replied without hesitation;
Zhou Jian didn't hang up the phone, but he gave the order without asking anything, and Zhuang Feng also heard Zhou Jian's voice giving an order on the phone;
Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's order, but did not make a sound, but showed a heartfelt smile on his face that was rarely seen;
Zhou Jian just listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and did not hesitate to send out the power in his hand according to Zhuang Feng's words;
There is no need to be polite, there is no need to ask for reasons, just say a word and do it immediately;
"Okay, it's expected to arrive tonight;" Zhou Jian continued to talk there after making an order according to Zhuang Feng's words;
"Okay;" Zhuang Feng didn't even thank him, but just confirmed that he heard Zhou Jian's words;
"Do you want me to come over too?" Zhou Jian didn't have anything unusual because of Zhuang Feng's unkindness, if Zhuang Feng said thank you, then Zhou Jian would think more;
"It is enough to have a cloud fish;" Zhuang Feng said there;
Zhou Jian knew Zhuang Feng and knew that Zhuang Feng would not be polite to him, just like when Zhou Jian ran to Jiangzhou alone to support Zhuang Feng, Zhuang Feng was not polite, and he didn't even politely ask Zhou Jian not to mix with the lie, so he directly asked Zhou Jian to follow Zhuang Feng with a hose and fight on the street; since Zhuang Feng said that he didn't need to come, then Zhou Jian would not come;
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jian finished his business, and asked what happened to Zhuang Feng;
"The nine major families of the cabinet jointly sent men to Jiangzhou, and together with He Xu, they attacked the Nanyuan Metropolitan Dynasty four hours ago;" Zhuang Feng did not hide Zhou Jian, and said there;
"My Zhuang Dashao, your old man is really going to cause trouble;" Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian said jokingly with the others;
Zhou Jian was able to receive Zhuang Feng's call, which meant that Zhuang Feng was fine, and judging from the strength that Zhuang Feng asked him for, Zhuang Feng already had a plan to deal with it;
Although Zhuang Feng's words were a little scary, it sounded like Zhuang Feng provoked the supreme power of the Jinguo family, but as long as it was not a full-scale war, it would not be a big deal to send so many people to Jiangzhou to meet Zhuang Feng;
"There's no way, who makes this seat beautiful;" Zhuang Feng also said jokingly;
"Twenty years ago, it was okay, but now everyone is old and yellow, and where are you still worried?" Zhou Jian also said jokingly;
"Do you want to eat hot pot at night?" Zhuang Feng changed the topic;
"I'll go back to Tingzhou to eat spicy food;" Zhou Jian answered there, and then hung up the phone;
Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian don't like to say goodbye, Zhuang Feng's habit is to change the topic to indicate the end of the conversation, Zhou Jian naturally understood, and hung up the phone directly after talking there;
"Return that virtue;" Zhuang Feng saw Zhou Jian hang up the phone, and said to himself there;
"Sometimes I really envy you;" Ao Xiuzhi quietly watched Zhuang Feng finish the call with Zhou Jian next to him, and said with some emotion;
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law;" Zhuang Feng listened to Ao Xiuzhi's rather emotional words, and said sincerely to the place;
Like Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian's relationship, Ao Xiuzhi should also have it, but when Ao Xiuzhi chose to take charge of the West Courtyard and hid himself in the dark, he would never have such a friendship again;
Ao Xiuzhi not only no longer has friendship, but even Zhuang's family affection no longer has, or Zhuang Feng is left alone;
This is the price of hiding oneself in the darkness, all the people in the Zhuang family think that Ao Xiuzhi is missing, and a person who has been missing for more than ten years, think that the feelings that were once close will also pass with time;
"Hell, by the way, how is Zhou Jian's son, doesn't he look like him?" Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng's rare sincere words, and instantly changed the topic there;
"It should be his, although he doesn't look much like him in personality;" Zhuang Feng watched Ao Xiuzhi change the topic in an instant, and also talked about Zhou Jian's gossip;
Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Ao Xiuzhi laughed with the others;
Zhuang Feng didn't laugh, because when Ao Xiuzhi was smiling, Zhuang Feng inexplicably remembered that a woman sent him a photo a few years ago, and then asked Zhuang Feng a question about whether the image was like;
"What's wrong?" Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng, who looked a little pained, and asked there;
"Do you say that a boy's child will definitely look like him?" Zhuang Feng said with some doubts;
"Scientifically speaking, well, I don't know;" Ao Xiuzhi originally wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, he was not too sure;
Looking at Ao Xiuzhi's uncertain appearance, Zhuang Feng laughed inexplicably with the girl, laughing very happily;
"Take some time to invite Wu Jinwen over, and talk to him after eating hot pot in the evening;" Zhuang Feng's smile ended very briefly, and he said a word there;
Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Ao Xiuzhi nodded and signaled to hear;
"By the way, then He Xu's daughter should be in college, right?" Zhuang Feng seemed to think of something again, and asked there;
"Studying abroad at the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Jiahe, I am a junior this year, and I am studying law;" Ao Xiuzhi said familiarly;
"What about his son?" Zhuang Feng continued;
"The local aristocratic school, this year's university;" Ao Xiuzhi is still so familiar;
"Then forget it, just invite Wu Jinwen;" Zhuang Feng listened to Ao Xiuzhi's words, thought about it, and said a word there;
"Good;" Ao Xiuzhi replied to Zhuang Feng;
As for Zhuang Feng's questioning, Ao Xiuzhi also guessed what Zhuang Feng wanted to do; Ao Xiuzhi had no opinion on this; but when Zhuang Feng finally said that it was over, Ao Xiuzhi was still relieved;
The so-called misfortune is not good for his wife and children, if Zhuang Feng really wants to do it, Ao Xiuzhi will do it, but he doesn't really want Zhuang Feng to break his own rules;
"Buy some fragrant pork, I haven't eaten it for a long time;" Zhuang Fengxiao knew, he knew what Ao Xiuzhi was thinking, but he didn't say it, and changed the topic;
"Got it, make fragrant meat, fry the base, and wait for you to come back;" Ao Xiuzhi looked at Zhuang Feng's appearance and said with a smile there;
"Okay, I'll go;" Zhuang Feng also said with a smile;
After speaking, Zhuang Feng got up and left;
