Chapter Seventy-Seven: Old Plays and New Performances

Zuo Fuliang looked at Zhuang Feng and the thoughtful appearance there, and he didn't rush to say anything, but just maintained the demeanor of the controller of the Zuo family on the bright side of Tingzhou, smiling with a smile on his face, but not leaking;

"Poor man;" Zhuang Feng said as if to himself;

Zuo Fuliang followed Zhuang Feng's sigh and said there: "It's quite pitiful, a bunch of brothers are still strongmen, but they don't have anything;"

"It's still a good day for the young master of your family, just his only seedling;" Zhuang Feng used his words to say things that did not fit the boundary;

For Zhuang Feng's sudden change of topic, and it was so natural, Zuo Fuliang had too little time to deal with Zhuang Feng, and he was a little uncomfortable;

With Zhuang Feng's sweep of the southwest back then, the Zhou family was swept away; as an old man who had personally experienced it back then, did he have any resentment towards Zhuang Feng, which made Zhuang Feng not too sure;

Although the relationship between Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng is the same as it was back then, he can't tell the people below to do something there; this is the same as Zuo Fuliang's journey from Tingzhou to Pingzhou, so Zuo Fuliang is also lukewarm to Zhuang Feng, a businesslike appearance;

If Zuo Fuliang still has some hatred for the events of that year, it will not only be that Zhuang Feng is in danger, but it will also make Zhou Jian's plan fail;

In this regard, Zhuang Feng didn't say it explicitly, or it was not easy to say it clearly, but just asked in a roundabout way;

Zuo Fuliang instantly understood the meaning of Zhuang Feng's words, and also said there: "Zhuang Shao, don't be tempted; I am actually very grateful to your subordinates for showing mercy to the young master to survive;

Zhuang Feng looked at Zuo Fuliang's expression, it didn't seem to be fake, so he said casually there: "Are there any special snacks in Pingzhou?"

Zuo Fuliang was a little uncomfortable with Zhuang Feng's fluency in changing topics, and what Zuo Fuliang said was indeed sincere;

Although Zhou Jian was seriously injured, he survived; Zhou Jian's injuries were so serious, but he survived; if it weren't for Zhuang Feng's mercy, what would it be? In this regard, Zuo Fuliang really didn't have any grudge against Zhuang Feng;

Although Zuo Fuliang was a little uncomfortable with Zhuang Feng's ability to change the topic in an awkward and smooth manner, he also reacted in an instant, and introduced Pingzhou's special snacks there;

Zhuang Feng pretended to listen to Zuo Fuliang talking about the characteristics of Pingzhou with the familiar there, and he was accustomed to lighting a cigarette;

Looking at Zhuang Feng's pretended to be quite interested, Zuo Fuliang did not cut off the topic, and talked to himself;

After a short time, Zuo Fuliang also stopped introducing Pingzhou, and said there: "When I arrive, the courtyard in front is the old house of the Cai family;"

With Zuo Fuliang's words, Zhuang Feng also saw a group of ancient buildings not far in front of him;

In the suburbs of Pingzhou City, the scenery is quite pleasant, and it looks very ordinary a piece of ancient buildings with local cultural characteristics in Pingzhou, of course, this looks very ordinary;

Zuo Fuliang looked at a middle-aged man who was greeting guests at the entrance of the Cai family compound, and then said loudly: "The one who greeted the guests at the door is Cai Yongping;"

Zhuang Feng nodded and didn't say anything;

As they arrived at the Caijia compound, Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang also got out of the car and presented silk and gold gifts there according to etiquette;

With the arrival of Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang, Cai Yongping was a little stunned there, as if he didn't expect Zhuang Feng to arrive with Zuo Fuliang;

The Cai family also sent a post to Zhuang Feng, after all, Zhuang Feng appeared in Jiangzhou in such a high-profile manner, so Zhuang Feng was naturally qualified to attend the communication between the families;

At the age of Cai Xingmiao, according to the customs of Pingzhou, it is a joy and mourning, so this Cai Yongping does not seem to have much sense of grief, although he is also dressed in sackcloth, but he is quite enthusiastic to entertain Zhuang Feng Zuo Fuliang there;

"Old man,...... "Zhuang Feng also said politely, although it was a joy and mourning, but the words that should be polite had to say no;

"The old man is a masterpiece of his generation, alas, mourning;" Zuo Fuliang also said pretendingly;

"Yes, the old man is gone like this, those of us who are grandchildren, alas, please come inside;" Cai Yongping also pretended to be so sad that he didn't want to speak;

After Cai Yongping finished speaking, he led Zhuang Feng Zuo Fuliang into the Cai family compound;

The Caijia compound was also arranged according to customs, and Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang didn't say anything according to the rules, and there was a sad look there;

Walking into the Caijia compound, Zhuang Feng saw a group of people kneeling in the mourning hall with those in filial piety clothes, and one of the people in filial piety clothes was kneeling in the middle of the mourning hall, which looked a little special;

"That's Cai Yongzhuo;" Zuo Fuliang whispered to the side;

Following Zuo Fuliang's words, Zhuang Feng nodded lightly;

Walking into the mourning hall, Cai Yongzhuo also reacted, still kneeling there, and said loudly: "Zhuang Shao, Zuo Ye, you have a heart;"

"Festival mourning;" Zhuang Feng Zuo Fuliang was polite there;

After the politeness, the person who looked like a guard on the side handed Zhuang Feng Zuo Fuliang a pillar of incense;

Zhuang Feng Zuo Fuliang took the incense, followed the rules and put the incense there, and then expressed his grief, and then Cai Yongping led him to the reception room to rest;

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, it's calm;" Zhuang Feng said calmly in the reception room, burning a cigarette there;

"The calm before the storm is just that;" Zuo Fuliang continued;

Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, just continued to light the cigarette;

After a while, a guard came over and whispered a few words to Zuo Fuliang, and then left on his own;

"Cai Yongzhuo wants to talk to me alone;" Zuo Fuliang said loudly after the guards left;

"Go;" Zhuang Feng said calmly;

After speaking, Zuo Fuliang also got up and left, leaving Zhuang Feng to stay there alone;

Zuo Fuliang left, and did not reappear until evening;

"Cai Yongzhuo is going to do it tonight;" After Zuo Fuliang returned, he said directly to Zhuang Feng;

"There's a good show;" Zhuang Feng said with a smile on his face;

Zuo Fuliang also put on a smile, held tea there, and didn't say anything;

It is the night when the lights in the courtyard of Caijia are bright, and according to the rules, this day is also a banquet for guests;

"The master has passed away, thanks to your heart, I grieved too much, and greeted me differently, please forgive me;" At the banquet, Cai Yongzhuo made a business-like opening remarks with the person there;

There are some other people standing next to Cai Yongzhuo, according to Zuo Fuliang, that is, those people in the Cai family who hold real power;

With Cai Yongzhuo's words, the people present also expressed their deep condolences there;

"I don't know what to say;" Just as the people were expressing their deep condolences there, a voice that was not very high, and could only be heard clearly by a few people around them, said a word to the voice;

The sound was not loud, and only a few people around could hear it clearly, and those who heard clearly were stunned for a moment with the voice, and then suddenly fell into a state of silence;

Cai Yongzhuo was talking politely to there, and suddenly he heard such a voice, it was obvious that he was a person who had nothing to do;

The few who heard it were silent about it;

Suddenly, the silence of a few people had little effect on the many, but it also caused a chain reaction;

The sudden silence of a few people, then the people around will also have a strange feeling, and they will also be quiet inexplicably;

"I don't know what it means, do you really think you're the head of the house?" the voice resounded as the number of quiet people increased;

This time, not only a few people heard it, but everyone present heard it, not only heard, but also understood the meaning of the words, which was questioning the legitimacy of Cai Yongzhuo's identity;

Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang are also in a state of looking at the heat, Zhuang Feng is a boring look, Zuo Fuliang is quite interested;

"There's nothing new;" Zhuang Feng muttered to himself;

Zuo Fuliang heard Zhuang Feng's voice, but didn't say anything;

There is really nothing new in this situation, and the process is basically the same in almost every family;

First find someone to pretend to be stupid and bold there to question the legitimacy of the new head of the family, and then there will be a gang to come forward with the person to stop it;

When everyone heard that sentence, Cai Yongping stood up and shouted with the others: "Who is it?"

With Cai Yongping's words, several guards also came out, as if waiting for Cai Yongping to arrest the person who spoke;

"The old man's bones are not cold, and you are here to celebrate the feast, don't you know that the old man died unjustly?" the man continued;

"The old man has a life span of nearly 100 years, so you have to talk nonsense and tie him up;" Cai Yongping said with an angry look;

At this time, Cai Yongxing stood up, stopped the guard's behavior, and asked out loud: "The old man has a long life, but his body is very healthy, why do you say that there is no one after death, kill the eldest brother and give an explanation;"

With Cai Yongxing's words, another group of guards also appeared, all with weapons;

"Nonsense, Yongxing, what are you doing here?" At this time, Cai Yonghe also stood up and talked there;

"I didn't do anything, it's just that I didn't wait by the old man's side when the old man left, I hope that the eldest brother will tell me if the old man has anything to say;" Cai Yongxing said loudly;

"The old man has something to leave behind, and told me to take care of this home;" Cai Yongzhuo continued;

Cai Yongxing watched Cai Yongzhuo come forward, and said disdainfully: "Say this to the old man, see if the old man will beat you in the sky;"

"Yongxing, how do you kid speak;" Cai Yongping said angrily to the other side;

"How do I speak, I always talk like this;" Cai Yongxing was also angry there;

"You ......" Cai Yongping choked on Cai Yongxing's words, and couldn't go on;

"Uncle Nine, you always say something;" Cai Yongxing glanced at Cai Yongping with disdain, and then said out loud;

With Cai Yongping's words, the eyes of those present focused on Cai Dong'an;

Cai Dong'an looked like an old god was there, and he didn't feel any discomfort because he was the focus, and said slowly: "Old man......"

Cai Dong'an's words did not continue, not that Cai Dong'an did not want to speak, but was interrupted by a burst of gunfire, followed by a warning message from the guards that he was under attack;

For this sudden gunshot, everyone was a little stunned there, including Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng originally looked at the scene of Caijia quite boring, this play has been staged countless times in the family, and even the routine is the same;

Zhuang Feng himself has experienced it, so it seems very boring to be there, plus Zhuang Feng himself is plotting with Zhou Jian where Pingzhou, like a mirror in his heart, Cai Yongzhuo is destined to become a scapegoat;

However, this prominent gunfire made Zhuang Feng also a little confused about the way there; could it be that Cai Yongzhuo did not play tricks and directly used force to launch a coup d'état;

If Cai Yongzhuo plays a handover of force there, then Cai Yongzhuo has this strength;

Because of Cai Xingmiao's death, all the real power figures of the Cai family have already arrived, and Cai Yongzhuo, who is the heir of the family, does not have much real power to the outside world, but at least he can control the guards in the Cai family compound; plus Cai Yongzhuo's half-brother Cai Yongping, it is completely possible to kill those big men of the Cai family in this Cai family compound;

As for the consequences of this, as Cai Yongzhuo's heir for many years, it only takes time to calm down the Cai family;

Although Cai Yongzhuo has a high success rate in doing this, it will also split the Cai family; I think Cai Yongzhuo also knows about this, so in Zuo Fuliang's statement, Cai Yongzhuo will not take such a method;

Zhuang Feng believed Zuo Fuliang's statement;

Although Cai Yongzhuo's behavior of seeking help from the outside is concerned, Cai Yongzhuo should not use such drastic means, otherwise it would not be superfluous to make an agreement with Zuo Fuliang;

Of course, it is also possible that Cai Yongzhuo paralyzed Zhou Jian by reaching an agreement with Zuo Fuliang, so as to prevent Zhou Jian from taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos to seize Pingzhou;

If Cai Yongzhuo really has such scheming methods, then Zhuang Feng did look at Cai Yongzhuo with a look, and felt that Cai Jia's play was really so exciting;

When Zhuang Feng guessed, the people present also reacted, maybe these people also thought that it was Cai Yongzhuo who moved with him, and they all looked at Cai Yongzhuo fiercely there;

Just when everyone was staring at Cai Yongzhuo, the captain of the guard in charge of the whole security of the Cai family compound walked in from outside and said loudly: "Young master, a group of people suddenly appeared to attack us, and the identity of the other party is unknown;"

"Yongping;" Cai Yongzhuo asked aloud as he listened to the guard's words;

Cai Yongping's guard office was responsible for the perimeter security of the Cai family compound, and the guard said that an unidentified person suddenly appeared to attack the Cai family compound, but Cai Yongping did not receive information or warning, which naturally had to be blamed on Cai Yongping's head;

Cai Yongping's inquiry about Cai Yongzhuo was full of confusion, and he seemed to be frightened;

Perhaps, with the support of powerful figures like Cai Xingmiao, most of the grandchildren like Cai Yongping have not yet experienced the experience of fighting with people with guns, and they seem to be a little unable to react to sudden attacks;

"Yongzhuo, we are all a family, what is there to talk about and discuss;" Cai Dong'an, who reacted, did not have that old appearance, and said quite directly;

In Cai Dong'an's opinion, Cai Yongzhuo's expression has nothing to do with the acting that is talking to himself, and he doesn't believe that this matter has nothing to do with Cai Yongzhuo;

Cai Yongzhuo reacted there, and said with some confusion: "I didn't do it;"

With Cai Yongzhuo's words, the others became more confused;

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Cai Yongzhou, which controlled the armed forces of the Cai family, and if it wasn't for Cai Yongzhuo, the biggest suspect would be this Cai Yongzhou;

It's just that Cai Yongzhou is also in the same puzzled appearance as everyone else, and he can't see that Cai Yongzhou did it;

However, Cai Yongzhou's expression can't be seen, but it doesn't mean that he didn't do it;

"Yongzhou;" Cai Dong'an, the most senior figure in the Cai family today, asked there;

"Uncle Nine, it's not my person;" Cai Yongzhou said helplessly;

With Cai Yongzhou's words, everyone fell silent again;

The people who can have the strength to attack the Cai family's compound under the current situation, these big guys of the Cai family have that kind of strength; not only Cai Yongzhou, who has the armed forces, but also the captive power in the hands of the big guys of all departments is enough to do the thing in front of them;

Just when everyone was wondering there, Cai Yongzhuo seemed to remember something, and walked straight to the position of Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang;

"Zuo Ye;" Cai Yongzhuo said loudly;

"Zhuo Ye;" Zuo Fuliang responded rather calmly;

"People outside?" Cai Yongzhuo said halfway through his words, and did not continue;

"It's not my people;" Zuo Fuliang said calmly;

"Zhuang Shao?" Cai Yongzhuo continued to ask;

"Do you think I can transfer people from Jiangzhou without alarming Zuo Ye?" Zhuang Feng smiled and said calmly;

Following Zhuang Feng's words, Cai Yongzhuo nodded subconsciously, just reacting in that instant;

"Zhuang Shao, you and Zuo Ye arrived at the same time, can you tell me?" Cai Yongzhuo said after reacting;

Cai Yongzhuo's words really made Zhuang Feng a little difficult to explain;

Zhuang Feng said to go to Zhou Jian, but Zhou Jian died ten years ago; said that he was going to find Zuo Fuliang, then this matter would be troublesome enough; because on the bright side, Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang did not have any friendship at all, but they arrived at the same time as Zuo Fuliang, which really made Zhuang Feng a little unsure of how to explain; and it was barely Zhuang Feng who was not thoughtful;

Seeing that Zhuang Feng didn't answer there, Cai Yongzhuo continued to say there: "Zhuang Shao has any dissatisfaction with me, you can say it;"

Cai Yongzhuo also knew that Jiangzhou and Pingzhou were too far apart, so it should not be a plot against Pingzhou, but looking at Zhuang Feng's expression, although it was actually Zhuang Feng's expressionlessness, he really couldn't see anything;

It's just that Zhuang Feng's silence made Cai Yongzhuo feel that this matter was related to Zhuang Feng, and it was related to Zhuang Feng and Zhuang Feng couldn't plot Pingzhou, so there was only one explanation left, that is, Cai Jia didn't know when he offended Zhuang Feng, and Zhuang Feng took advantage of this time to retaliate;

"Zhuo Ye is serious, if we want to talk about it, we are still a family, how can we have a grudge against the Cai family?" Zhuang Feng thought about it and said out loud;

"Oh?" Zhuang Feng's words made Cai Yongzhuo a little confused;

Due to the geographical separation, there is no direct conflict of interest between the Zhuang family and the Cai family, so the interaction between the Zhuang family and the Cai family is only those superficial efforts between the families, and there is no deeper intersection;

Now Zhuang Feng said that Zhuang Feng and their family are still a family, although this polite remark can also be said like this, but the current situation does not seem to need such polite words;

Seeing Cai Yongzhuo's somewhat confused appearance, Zhuang Feng wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Cai Yongzhuo gestured there, and with Cai Yongzhuo's gesture, several guards surrounded him and trapped Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang there;

"Please also ask Major General Zhuang to speak more clearly;" Cai Yongzhuo looked at Zhuang Feng and said quite seriously;

Because it was a banquet, Xu Wei and Yang Lin's status as guards, so they had to hold another banquet with the guards of other families in the other courtyard, this change was sudden, Xu Wei and Yang Lin had not rushed over, and Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang did not respond for a while;

"I'm in love with a girl with a surname;" Zhuang Feng said with a somewhat embarrassed look;

Zhuang Feng's words were a little inexplicable, which made Cai Yongzhuo a little unresponsive, and Zuo Fuliang was also puzzled, but he thought in his heart that this Zhuang Feng could really break blindly, and he was still in the mood to laugh at this time;

"Pingzhou people;" Zhuang Feng looked at Cai Yongzhuo and did not react, and added with some hesitation;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Cai Yongzhuo also reacted, and said directly there: "Zhuang Feng, I heard it before, but I didn't think that your ability to pretend to be crazy is really as good as your name;

"If you don't believe it, ask Zuo Ye, Zuo Ye, did you say yes?" Zhuang Feng looked at Cai Yongzhuo as if he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly said;

"This, that, yes, I testify;" Zuo Fuliang continued Zhuang Feng's words, but Zuo Fuliang really didn't know what Zhuang Feng said;

Just as Zuo Fuliang was committing perjury for Zhuang Feng there, Xu Wei Yang Lin and the accompanying guards of other people who participated in the banquet also rushed in, each looking for their own master there;

Xu Wei and Yang Lin looked at Cai Yongzhuo with so many guards to surround Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang there, then Xu Wei was in a hurry, and quickly moved closer to Cai Yongzhuo;

With Xu Wei's movements, Yang Lin and Zuo Fuliang's guards also followed;

Xu Wei looked at Cai Yongzhuo surrounding Zhuang Feng and Zuo Fuliang, and did not approach rashly, but said loudly to the person at a certain distance: "Zhuo Ye, who are you?"

Cai Yongzhuo didn't answer, but the guards around him were all carrying weapons there, looking at Xu Wei, Yang Lin and Zuo Fuliang's guards vigilantly;

"It's okay, just talk to Zhuo Ye for a few words;" Zhuang Feng said aloud;

As soon as Zhuang Feng's words fell, Yang Lin also made a move;
