chapter
"Not sure yet?" Zhao Sidong asked a little strangely: "Grandpa, is it so complicated? With your judgment, if you can't be sure, I'm afraid I won't be able to give any advice, right?"
The old lady shook his head, coughed and said: "That's not what I said, although your grandfather and I know more about the political situation, it is inevitable that there will be limitations in the bureau, and you may be able to draw different conclusions from another perspective." ”
Seeing him say this, Zhao Sidong nodded indispensably, "Okay, just talk about it, I really want to know which forces will make it difficult for you to judge." ”
Old Man Zhao didn't say anything long-winded, he went straight to the point, and explained in detail the situation of several companies that listed him as the object of suspicion in the second echelon, and then Zhao Sidong knew why he said that it was difficult to judge.
The red family in the imperial capital said that there was not much, but it was said that it was a lot less, and it was also divided into several echelons according to the strength of the strength, and the old Zhao family was naturally the kind of top wealthy family in the first echelon, and the old Liu family could barely enter this ranks, but the total was only the number of hands.
In the second echelon that followed, the number of red families was even higher, almost about twenty, and these families were all looking forward to one day rushing into the first echelon and becoming one of the most powerful families in China. And most of the old lady's suspicions are concentrated in this second echelon, most of them are not quite on the right path with the old Zhao family in terms of political opinions, or there are conflicts and contradictions in interests, and if they are tough, they are not the opponents of the old Zhao family, so they can only endure it.
But once there is a chance to hit the old Zhao family, they will definitely not hesitate.
Although the old Zhao family is powerful, it is reasonable for the so-called tree to attract wind and be regarded as a target by the people below.
Since ancient times, the rise of new forces has always stepped on the bones of the old forces, and this kind of thing has happened more than once even in the current China.
In fact, Su Lingfei's Su family and Su Xiaomo's Su family have both had similar experiences, but one is stepping on someone else's position, and the other is stepping on someone else's position, and the circumstances can be described as worlds apart. If it weren't for Zhao Sidong's relationship, Su Xiaomo's family would have been completely suppressed until the change.
Therefore, in addition to the old Liu family, there are too many objects of suspicion, and the interests and involvement in them are entangled, and even the old lady, a politician who has been immersed in the political arena for most of his life, is a little difficult to judge for a while.
However, in Zhao Sidong's view, things don't seem to be so simple.
"Grandpa, I want to ask, all the red families in the imperial capital are divided according to echelons, how many families are in each echelon?"
Regarding this question, the old lady didn't even think about it and replied directly: "There are seven in the first echelon, eighteen in the second echelon, and more in the third echelon, there are fifty-one in total, and I don't bother to say anything about the fourth echelon." ”
Indeed, even if the fourth echelon is all tied together, it may not be able to pose any threat to the old Zhao family, not to mention that this matter may involve the forces of the cultivation world, and in the case of the red family of the fourth echelon, it is really not qualified to cooperate with others.
"So, in the first echelon, what are the other ones besides us and Lao Liu's family?"
Although the old lady felt that this question was a little strange, she didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "The old Xiao family, the old Ye family, the old Lin family, the old Chu family and the old Long family. ”
Zhao Sidong pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Grandpa, don't you think that these five families are actually possible to attack us?"
"What?" the old lady shook her body, her face changed greatly, and she lowered her head and pondered.
Zhao Sidong's words are not irresponsible conjectures, it is true that if the red family in the second echelon wants to take the position, it must pull down a certain family in the original first echelon. But think about it from another angle, are the red giants in the same echelon willing to have as many as seven forces in the same echelon?
To use the simplest analogy, a piece of cream cake is now divided by seven people, and assuming that everyone can get a seventh, what if one of them has a bigger appetite and does not have enough sevenths to eat?
People who are used to eating cream cakes are naturally less likely to eat second-class flatbread, so it is most likely to kill one or even a few of the seven people, so that they can naturally eat more.
"What do you mean...... If the mastermind behind this scene is among the other five, no, it may even be that the five families have joined forces, then our Lao Zhao family and Lao Liu's family may be their targets?" The old lady's expression was a little not good-looking, although it was just a guess, but if this guess was unfortunately true, then the matter would be big.
Zhao Sidong nodded, "I think this is really possible, don't forget, grandpa, we got closer to Su and Wu last year, maybe it will make people feel that this is a threat." Maybe in the eyes of the other party, our old Zhao family is the one who wants to eat more cakes!"
As soon as he said this, the more Old Man Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his expression became more and more serious.
After pondering for a while, the old lady Huo Ran raised his head and said, "The stakes are very high, if the conditions allow, you had better be able to test these families." It's best if our guess is wrong, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to stand up and move!"
Since retiring, the old lady will not show up easily, this is also an unspoken rule, if you are okay, jump out, let the current leaders in power think?
People are not old in heart, do they love the authority of the stack?
Zhao Sidong happily accepted the task, "Grandpa, don't worry, even if it's really one or a few of their families doing something, I'm just going to find out the news, and I don't want to have a head-on conflict, so I don't have to worry about what will happen." It's not me bragging, with my ability, as long as I don't want to, no one in this world can find me!"
The old lady didn't refute his remarks, he was convinced that the grandson of the reincarnation of the Immortal Venerable in the Immortal Realm must have two brushes in this regard, so there was no need to worry about anything.
......
Zhao Sidong belongs to the action faction, since he has a clear plan, there is no need to delay for too long, after nightfall, he hid his body and swept out of the Zhao family's compound towards the first target.
The first object of suspicion is naturally the old Liu family, and coincidentally, near the Zhao family's compound is the Liu family's compound, and if you walk there, it doesn't even take ten minutes.
After a few ups and downs, Zhao Sidong appeared outside the Liu family's compound.
Because he was worried about the existence of immortal cultivators inside, he didn't dare to let go of his divine sense to investigate at will, so he could only try his best to restrain his aura and enter over the wall in a stealth state.
As soon as he climbed over the courtyard wall, several black lines flashed in front of his forehead.
A large black dog, as strong as a calf, was lying at the bottom of the courtyard wall, motionless and looking as if it was asleep.
But Zhao Sidong knew very well that this guy was just closing his eyes to recuperate, and if he accidentally touched it when he fell just now, he would definitely make it scream.
The purpose of this trip was only to dispel the information, not to fight the people inside, so he had to avoid accidents as much as possible.
After taking two steps to the side in the air, Zhao Sidong fell to the ground silently, without alarming the black dog lying on the ground at all.
After searching the entire compound several times, Zhao Sidong did not find any useful evidence or clues, and it seems that the old Liu family was not involved in this matter.
crossed out the name of the old Liu family in his heart, and then he went to the second target to investigate.
Xiao, Ye, Lin, Chu, and Long have all produced several leaders who are very high in the Chinese rankings, so everyone's residences are correspondingly in this western villa area, which is nothing more than a little farther away from each other.
Zhao Sidong's second target was the old Long family, because the Long family was the closest to here.
As a result, the investigation of the Long family showed that the Long family should also belong to the category of unknowing. Of course, some information in the old lady's study of the Long family shows that the Long family is indeed as he and the old lady analyzed before, and his heart is still full of ambition, but now he is too lazy to care about this, anyway, the Long family doesn't dare to make any moves for a while, so leave it to the old lady to have a headache.
However, he accidentally found a spirit stone that had been discarded in the corner in a secret room of the Long family, and it was a spirit stone that had been carved into a god statue.
The spirit stones on the earth are equivalent to the fairy crystals in the fairy world, which contain a large amount of spiritual energy, which can be used for cultivation and can also be used for array-by the way, using spirit stones to set up an array is much stronger than using jade runes to set up an array, not only is it more powerful, but it is also more economical to set up an aura.
As soon as he saw the dust on the surface of the spirit stone, Zhao Sidong knew that the Long family didn't know its importance and preciousness at all, so he would make a secret investment in the pearl!
In order to save the dusty spirit stone from the dire situation, Zhao Sidong resolutely took the statue carved from the spirit stone away......
The third target is the old Chu family, because it is relatively close to the Long family.
If the defenses of the first two families are relatively loose, then the defense of the Chu family is much stricter, because the roots of the Chu family come from the army.
The old lady of the Chu family also sat in the position of the second-in-command of the military-commission back then, and his children and grandchildren were basically developing in the army, so the guards in the family were carefully selected, and all of them were highly powerful. However, for the safety of Old Lady Chu and her family, these excellent soldiers are willing to become ordinary soldiers who guard the home - among these guards, the highest rank is only a second lieutenant, if they are in the local army, they can at least mix to the rank of major.
However, for Zhao Sidong, although these guards have the strength of super special forces, they are not much different from wooden stakes, so he calmly blended into the Chu family's compound and was ready to search.
