Chapter 34: The Plan Begins
When he arrived at the office, Zhou Xilin and Zeng Jianping, who were in charge of metropolitan security, were already waiting, which made Zhuang Feng very satisfied;
They were the first to come back, so after the drunkenness of the previous night, they were the first to slow down and take their share of responsibility;
"How are the brothers?" Zhuang Feng asked, after he sat down;
"It's all eased up; Bo Zai and Hong Tao are doing the reorganization, and they can be called at any time;" Zhou Xilin replied to Zhuang Feng's question;
"Very good, but I have worked hard for you;" Zhuang Feng said with admiration;
"Young master, if there's nothing to do, we'll go down first;" Zhou Xilin still knew what he should do after Zhuang Feng finished speaking;
"Well, go ahead;" Zhuang Feng didn't talk nonsense anymore;
Subsequently, Zhou Xilin and Zeng Jianping left, leaving only Zhuang Feng and He Li;
"The young lady is back;" Zhuang Feng made tea by himself after Zhou Xilin and Zeng Jianping left, and said while flipping the tea set in his hand;
When He Li heard what Zhuang Feng said, he couldn't react for a while;
Zhuang Feng also seemed to know that this information was really a bit shocking to He Li, after all, it had been more than ten years since Ao Xiuzhi left the Zhuang family's old mansion;
However, Zhuang Feng didn't have much time for He Li to digest, and then said one more sentence: "She is now in charge of the West Courtyard;"
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuang Feng's words came out, He Li reacted a little easily, but now he was directly confused again;
"Drink a cup of tea, sober up and sober up;" Zhuang Feng had already made tea with the slow one, and He Li didn't fully react;
In fact, it is no wonder that He Li has such a reaction;
When Ao Xiuzhi left, it was actually when Zhuang Feng really became the head of the family and held power; and at that time, He Li had not yet become Zhuang Feng's chief of guards, and He Li at that time was still the deputy of the original chief of the guard, Ah Kun; until Zhuang Feng's lover was attacked, Ah Kun was a guard by her side at that time, and it was also in that attack that Ah Kun, the chief of the guard, died protecting his mistress with his life; after that, He Li took over Ah Kun's position and became Zhuang Feng's chief of guard;
And now, Zhuang Feng has gone crazy from the past, and then pushed the Zhuang family to the peak, and then to the decade of downfall, and now he is starting again;
If it is said that it is just to live until now, then it is okay; after all, after leaving that year, there is no more involvement in the affairs of the Zhuang family; then, if she wants, it is not impossible to live peacefully until now;
However, according to Zhuang Feng, Ao Xiuzhi of the Zhuang family did not go out for a break because of her husband's death at all, it was simply because after the internal struggle of the Zhuang family, this was to go out to take over the West Courtyard to complete the necessary purge of Zhuang Feng, the head of the family, to really control the power of the Zhuang family;
Thinking of these, He Li couldn't help but feel a little chilly;
Is Zhuang Feng's city too deep, or is he too simple?
Because the Zhuang family has collapsed for ten years, and as the master of the dark side of the Zhuang family, he has actually survived until now;
Then why didn't it appear when the Zhuang clan collapsed?
He Li didn't understand why, or rather, he simply didn't know how to think about the past;
"Young master, I ......" He Li didn't know what to say;
"Don't think about the past, people, you can't always live in the past;" Zhuang Feng seemed to be able to understand He Li, so he continued He Li's words;
"But,......" He Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhuang Feng as soon as he spoke;
"You just need to remember one thing, Ao Xiuzhi has never done anything to be sorry for the Zhuang family;" Zhuang Feng knew what He Li was thinking, so he didn't let He Li say more, but gave an affirmation;
Silence, He Li disappeared into silence with Zhuang Feng's words;
Or, this is the difference between the head of the house and the guard;
As a guard, you only need to execute, and as the head of the house, you need to see further and think more;
Zhuang Feng's words, He Li understands;
Since Ao Xiuzhi didn't do anything to be sorry for the Zhuang family, then when the Zhuang family collapsed, what kind of order should Ao Xiuzhi, who was the controller of the dark side of the family, accept;
He Li didn't dare to think too much about this, or rather, because of his He Li's knowledge, he couldn't think of more things;
It seemed to be a kind of epiphany, He Li suddenly understood why Zhuang Feng went out alone that night, and after he came back, he took the list and contact information of the other guards;
At that time, He Li still didn't understand a little, and Zhuang Feng didn't say it; or rather, He Li's thoughts at that time were that maybe Zhuang Feng didn't really leave during those ten years, but had been secretly paying attention to them;
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it won't be so simple; however, there are more things, He Li can't figure it out; just that there is an inexplicable chill, and I don't know why;
"Ali, I know what you're thinking; in fact, things are not that complicated; the past is all in the past, we have to start all over again;" Zhuang Feng finally interrupted the atmosphere after a long silence;
"Please give an order to the head of the family;" He Li listened to Zhuang Feng's words and felt an unprecedented pressure, perhaps this was the coercion that the head of the Zhuang family should have;
"Very good;" Zhuang Feng did not talk nonsense;
After finishing speaking, Zhuang Feng got up and went behind his desk, opened a secret compartment, took out a document and handed it to He Li;
"This is the area we now control in Jiangzhou;" After Zhuang Feng handed the document to He Li, he had to be there again, pouring tea and tasting it by himself;
After He Li took the document, he did not speak, or rather, after he opened the document, his mind was already blank;
The reason was that the Zhuang family had collapsed, leaving nothing but ruins;
However, the document given to him by Zhuang Feng contains detailed information on the fourteen county governments under Jiangzhou in addition to the main city, including the degree of control over the county government and the list of members of the Zhuang clan;
What is this? He Li didn't know what to say;
The collapse of the Zhuang clan and the disappearance of Zhuang Feng were all experienced by He Li himself, and then he entered the decade of the fall of Mo; now, the Zhuang clan still controls such a force; this is completely beyond the scope of He Li's understanding;
Although judging from the documents, Zhuang's control of the fourteen districts and counties is not complete, and it is only the largest local force in the rivers and lakes, and from the perspective of Zhuang's management model back then, this is only in the entrepreneurial stage;
However, this alone has already made He Li feel powerless;
What has he been doing in the past ten years? all day long, immersed in the memories of the past, and has done nothing but alcoholism;
In a trance, He Li finally understood;
When the Zhuang clan collapsed, why didn't Ao Xiuzhi, who was the master of the dark side of the Zhuang clan, appear, because they were already living in darkness, and the power they controlled in their hands was only a small part of the elite power; although this part of the power was enough to deter the Zhuang clan, and even the entire southwest;
However, the dark power is always just the dark power, and the deterrent power he has comes entirely from the strength of the Zhuang family, and when the Zhuang family collapses, their strength is far from enough to turn the tide; if they really make the so-called move to turn the tide, then maybe they will not even have the opportunity to start over;
In this way, it is better to maintain their strengths, in the dark, silently making efforts, little by little to accumulate strength, until the Zhuang family rises again one day;
He Li slowly understood that many things are not what they seem; or He Li had just thought that Zhuang's change was consciously controlled by Zhuang Feng; if this was the case, He Li couldn't accept it;
Because of the changes consciously controlled by Zhuang Feng, so many people in the Zhuang family died, so Zhuang Feng, the head of the family, is really too terrible, and treats human life like a mustard;
In other words, this may be what a generation of heroes should have, however, He Li at this time can't accept it, so he will show so much awe and even fear of Zhuang Feng, and in this fear, it will naturally reveal alienation;
However, after He Li read the documents given to him by Zhuang Feng, he had already forgotten about the fear or alienation of the reason, and was replaced by guilt;
He has done nothing in the past ten years, and what Zhuang Feng has done, he is still dissatisfied with it and afraid; this is not what he should do, this is not only to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but also to tarnish his own faith and loyalty, and to defile himself;
Now, Zhuang Feng showed him this document, and his intention was obvious: that is, to hand over Zhuang Feng's current strength in Jiangzhou to him, and let him use the existing strength to complete the important task of returning Jiangzhou to the Zhuang clan;
Such trust, but with such dirty ideas, it really deserves to be killed;
"Figured it out?" Zhuang Feng sipped the tea, quietly watching the changes on He Li's face, and when He Li raised his head again and looked directly at him, he said calmly;
"Questioning the Lord and tarnishing loyalty should be punished;" He Li gently put down the document in his hand, stood up, took three steps back, knelt solemnly in front of Zhuang Feng, and said in an unprecedented solemn manner;
Zhuang Feng looked at He Li's appearance, calmly put down the tea in his hand, then stood up and walked in front of He Li;
"Question the Lord, hum, it's quite patient;" Zhuang Feng said seemingly calmly, and in the face of Zhuang Feng's eyes, He Li lowered his head;
However, the moment He Li lowered his head, Zhuang Feng moved, and when he raised his leg, it was a kick, followed by an attack like a storm;
Zhuang Feng was really angry, the chief of the guard he valued the most actually questioned him, he treated He Li as a friend and equal, not just his Zhuang Feng's chief of guard, but in exchange for doubts;
In the face of Zhuang Feng's angry attack, He Li felt a kind of relief in his heart; because Zhuang Feng treated him like this, it showed that he still regarded him as his own person; because Zhuang Feng's temper and habits were like this, only the people close to him would see the other side of Zhuang Feng's family master;
In front of people, Zhuang Feng never gets angry, or in other words, the expression of anger is simpler, that is, the evaluation given by the people of the rivers and lakes: moody, ruthless, cruel and murderous madman;
After a long time, Zhuang Feng was tired, and finally stopped;
With Zhuang Feng's current physical fitness, there is really no way to use force as before;
In the past, He Li and Ben could not withstand such an attack by Zhuang Feng, even if Zhuang Feng deliberately kept his hand, in this case, He Li would also become a waste;
However, now after bearing Zhuang Feng's angry attack, He Li didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, because Zhuang Feng's strength was not like the strength of ordinary people, and there was really no threat to a person like him who had practiced martial arts for decades;
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that He Li really understands how Zhuang Feng has lived in the past ten years;
Ten years ago, Zhuang Feng, in terms of martial arts alone, was never under the skills of him He Li who was qualified to be a candidate for the head of the guard;
It is precisely because of this that He Li will no longer have any doubts, because human nature is selfish, no matter how Zhuang Feng plans and treats human life as if he is a mustard, he will not even make himself a waster;
Thinking of this, and then looking at Zhuang Feng and the appearance of being paralyzed, panting and breathless, He Li's heart suddenly tingled;
Zhuang Feng is like this, he still has doubts, what a fucking bastard, what a fucking bastard, what a fucking person should kill and eat meat;
"Don't make that picture, you don't have tear ducts, don't pretend;" Zhuang Feng was paralyzed, and finally gasped a little easier, and said there;
"Young master, I ......" He Li didn't know what to say for a while;
"Alright;" Zhuang Feng waved his hand to stop He Li from continuing to flirt with him;
"Let's get down to business, give you a year to get Jiangzhou back;" Zhuang Feng easily gasped, habitually lit a cigarette, and said seriously;
"Yes;" He Li replied solemnly;
"There's a plan, you listen;" Zhuang Feng looked at He Li, and then said: "Now we have fourteen county governments in our hands, some of which are adjacent;
Zhuang Feng said, stopped and drank some water, and then continued: "This is the first stage; after our existing county government is fully controlled, it is to connect the territory we own, and the camera will attack other county governments; at this time, the West Courtyard will cooperate accordingly; this is the second stage of action; of course, it is still the same sentence, everything will be done after you go, and then the camera will act;"
"Understood;" He Li listened quietly to Zhuang Feng's words, and replied habitually and neatly;
"As for the funds needed, I have already asked Meng Yuanhua to go to Zheng Shan to get them, and it is estimated that they will be sent tomorrow; the weapons and vehicles are provided by Meng Yuanhua, and when you set off, you will go directly to Beicheng to get them;" When it comes to business, Zhuang Feng is still as simple and direct as ten years ago;
"Yes;" He Li listened to Zhuang Feng's explanation and replied forcefully;
"If you have any ideas, let's hear them;" After Zhuang Feng finished explaining, he wanted to hear what He Li had to say;
"Young Master, after the preliminary stage is completed, what are the plans?" He Li thought about it, and the first question he asked was this;
"The final stage, that is, the stage when this seat dominates Jiangzhou, at that time, this seat will come forward in person; you only need to do what you just said; and this plan is always a plan, and there are some things outside the plan, which cannot be determined now, so we now have about half a year to complete these things;" Zhuang Feng was quite appreciative of He Li's question;
Because the first thing He Li asked was the completeness of the plan, and only by knowing the complete plan could we find the way to deal with unplanned changes in the process of implementation;
"Understood;" After He Li heard what Zhuang Feng said, he also had a number in his heart, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Young master, how many people can this take away?"
"Take them all away;" Zhuang Feng thought for a moment and said aloud;
"What about safety?" He Li jumped up;
Originally, He Li wanted to know how many people Zhuang Feng could give him at most, so that it would be convenient for him to make preliminary preparations; who would have thought that Zhuang Feng would actually give him everyone in one go, which would be a fart; if Zhuang Feng made any mistakes, everything else would be meaningless;
"What are you doing jumping so high, now that Jiangzhou City is basically under our control, what else can we make up here;" Zhuang Feng said angrily;
"That's not going to work;" He Li also simply pushed back;
"In this way, the metropolis will hand over to Liu Jie and the four of them, Xi Lin will pick ten more people to form a guard, and Xu Wei and Yang Lin will still be left by his side;" Zhuang Feng looked at He Li's stare as big as a cow's eyes, and he had to make concessions;
"I can trust Linzi's skills;" He Li listened to Zhuang Feng's words, thought about it, and replied;
"So decide, go and let Shilin and them come;" Zhuang Feng finally made a decision;
Then He Li went to call someone over, and announced the corresponding plan; of course, what can be said and what cannot be said, this He Li himself is still measured, and these guards are all very excited after hearing the plan;
Because Zhuang Feng gave such a plan, that means that they will really start all over again;
Ten years, it is really too long, once they return to their familiar world, the whole person has changed;
With the beginning of the implementation of the plan, He Li is leading the corresponding preparations;
Zhou Xilin went to select ten people as Zhuang Feng's entourage, Liu Jie took on the responsibility for the security of the metropolis, and at least Xu Wei and Yang Lin still followed Zhuang Feng's side;
At the same time, Zheng Shan also sent the funds that Zhuang Feng needed, and Meng Yuanhua, after looking for Zheng Shan, went to the metropolis to chat with Zhuang Feng for a while, and then went back to Beicheng to prepare vehicles and weapons;
The preparations lasted until the night of the next day, and under the send-off of Zhuang Feng, He Li and the others took advantage of the night to leave Jiangzhou City to complete the task assigned to them by Zhuang Feng;
However, when Zhuang Feng had just sent He Li and the others away and had not yet returned to the metropolis, Liu Jie, who was left behind, sent a message, saying that Wei Xiang had sent a gift and asked to hand it over to Zhuang Feng in person;
In this regard, Zhuang Feng was a little puzzled for a while; this Wei Xiang was Tang Guiyi's person, and there was something that he needed to personally send and hand over to Zhuang Feng;
