Hou Junji, 70, once again shocked the whole city.
At this time, in the provincial capital, the general was watering the flowers in the villa. A goatee man came from behind and stood behind the general. After the general poured the water, he put the watering pot beside him and casually asked, "what''s the matter?"
The goat Beard Man manner respectfully way: "general, Tongcheng that side spreads the news, Zhang Shen is dead."
"Oh." The general picked up the scissors and began to trim the branches and leaves of the flowers. After all the pruning was finished, he put the scissors aside, and then sat down on the chair and said, "Hou Junji is so old, his temper is still so hot."
The goatee man said with a smile, "he thought it was his time now, but he didn''t know he was a frog in the well."
General light way: "can''t say so, after all, he is also an old elder on the underworld."
"Sometimes people get more stubborn and confused as they get older." The goatee man said, "if you were put in that time, how could he have done anything to him?"
The general did not deny it, but his eyes showed some yearning color. Obviously, the words of the goatee man entered his heart.
The general quickly regained consciousness and said, "by the way, is Lin bad also in Tongcheng?"
"Yes." The goatee man said curiously, "general, do you seem to care about the bad forest?"
"Well, keep an eye out for me." The general did not explain what it was for, and the goatee man did not ask again. For them, as long as it was the general''s command, it was unconditional.
The goat bearded man did not ask about Lin bad, but asked: "general, it is obvious that Hou Junji killed Zhang Shen this time. He has two meanings. On the one hand, he provokes us and expresses his tough stance. On the other hand, he also frightens other potential forces of Tongcheng, so as to prevent the East King and the South King from rebelling. After all these years, the black province has never had the power to attack the people we sent. Should we act? "
The general sighed: "originally I wanted to give such an old man on the underworld some face, so that he could spend his old age peacefully, but he killed Zhang Shen. Zhang Shen''s strength is not weak. He was also very important under my hand. It''s a pity that he died like this. Since Hou Junji started with my people like this, he would not have to spend his old age safely. "
"Shall we do it now?" the goatee man asked
The general said with a faint smile: "we are not in a hurry. We can wait a little longer."
"Still waiting?"
"Well, wait." As the general spoke, a confident smile appeared on his face.
Lin Po continued to recuperate in the ward. Every day during the day, the knife was basically kept outside the door. At night, he took a rest in the ward.
Lin bad''s injury is getting closer and closer to recovery. Every day in the ward, she teases Zhang Xinyan, and she has a good life.
Although it seems to be a very enjoyable life every day, in fact, Lin bad will communicate with his subordinates on the Internet every day. He pulls all the middle-level people into a group, and he can communicate with everyone in the group at any time.
To Lin bad''s surprise, since Zhang Shen died, Tongcheng seems to have returned to peace. There has been no movement on the general''s side. However, Lin bad knows that all this is the rain coming. The more calm the building is, the more it represents the eve of the storm. If the general begins to question the Marquis, there may be room for moderation 。
Therefore, in recent days, Lin Po asked the whole northern district of the city to be cautious, loose outside and tight inside. Everyone should not be careless. He even stipulated that all people should not be drunk, but those who are drunk must be severely punished.
And all of this, for those ordinary people, they live their own small days as usual, and they will not feel the different atmosphere of Tongcheng, even for those who belong to the middle-level social groups, all this has nothing to do with them, only those real top figures in Tongcheng are inexplicably tight It''s up.
There was no movement from the general''s side. On the surface, the Marquis once again reminded all the upper class people of Tongcheng''s fear that Tongcheng was dominated by the Marquis, and trembled again for the Hou''s family. It seemed that everything was restored to the era when the Marquis unified Tongcheng 30 years ago.
In fact, the Hou family is more nervous than any other person outside. Hou Shengsheng is fidgety in his villa every day. He sits on the sofa in the room and drinks tea cup by cup. He looks very upset.
Hou Liang came down from upstairs, looked at his father, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "father, what are you thinking?"
"I''m thinking about the future of the Hou family." Hou Shengsheng took a deep breath. He raised his head and looked at his son. Hou Liang found that his father''s eyes, which were always gentle and gentle, had some frightening blood in his eyes. He looked terrible.
Hou Liang asked, "are you thinking about Zhang Shen?""Shouldn''t you think about it?" Hou Shengsheng gnawed his teeth and said, "Zhang Shen is dead, and there is no room for relaxation. We Hou''s family and the general are in complete harmony."
Although Hou Shengsheng did not dare to object to Hou Junji''s rejection of Zhang Shen, he never dreamed that his father would kill Zhang Shen. In this way, what other way out can he have besides tearing his face with the general?
Hou Shengsheng sighed: "a Liang, being a father is hoping to give you a bright future. I don''t want you buried in this storm."
Hou Liang asked, "will our Hou family lose in the face of the general?"
Hou Shengsheng laughed, looked at Hou Liang with complicated eyes, and said, "you have heard about your grandfather''s legend since you were a child. You have always been immersed in the legend of your grandfather. I know that you always want to enter the underworld and do some earth shaking things like your grandfather. However, once any legendary figure is deeply rooted in the underworld, Sooner or later, it will inevitably fall. Your grandfather could have avoided these things, but now he can''t
Hou Liang said: "but I feel that it may not be my grandfather who fell. Our Hou family in Tongcheng is a local villain. The general is really strong. I know that most of the provincial capital has already belonged to him. But as long as we don''t go out of Tongcheng and they dare to come, we dare to kill one. Zhang Shen is their example."
Hou Shengsheng sighed: "what people fear most is that they will always live in the glory of the past. Your grandfather is planted in the glory of the past. He has forgotten that this is not his time, nor the era of that year. The glory of the past can easily bring people blind self-confidence, and blind self-confidence is equivalent to a kind of suicide, because those former glory is easy Let you ignore the present enemy strong and weak, let you immerse in once strong and invincible inside cannot extricate oneself
Hou Shengsheng asked: "a Liang, you and I all know that there are two choices that are the best. The first is to win over Lin bad and promise to make him the king in the north of the city. Lin bad is in charge of the underworld, and we are in charge of the white Taoism. When we use the resources of the white Taoism to strengthen and expand our own business, even if one day those white people are no longer used by us, With our own economic energy, no one will deal with us any more. At least we Hou family can protect ourselves and live on, and we can live well! "
"The second choice is to agree to the conditions of the general. If the general occupies Tongcheng, I believe they will not eat their words and become fat. Otherwise, how can they win the trust of others in the future? However, in the future, we may not be particularly moistened, and our power will be gradually deprived by the general."
Hou Shengsheng said ruefully, "but your grandfather doesn''t choose which one. What do you think it is? Is it just because he''s tough? Wrong, his character is only a little, or because he lived in the past glory, because he himself also thinks that he is a legend, legend can not be stained, even if your grandfather is now 70 years old, but he does not want to leave a stain in the last stage of his life after his death. He hopes that even after his death, all people will call him when they mention him Call him a legend. "
"He was bound up by the brilliance he had, and could not afford to put it down." Hou Shengsheng''s eyes gradually showed the color of resentment, "he gave everything to the Hou family, but now he is about to destroy everything in the Hou family for his own glory, in order not to leave a trace of stain in the last few years!"
Hou Liang looked at his father in surprise. He had never seen his father show such an expression. Even he felt a little scared.
Hou took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and said word by word: "accompany me to see Lin bad this evening. I want to talk to him."
Hou Liang asked, "haven''t you given up yet?"
"We still have to fight for it." Hou took a deep breath and said, "our Hou family has always been on the top, but we didn''t expect that one day we would be reduced to relying on others to survive. A Liang, you give me to remember, never to pursue any so-called legend, the real legend is to be able to live well all the time! "
Hou Liang''s eyes showed a loss, his heart is now full of confusion, once he has always thought his grandfather is invincible, that his grandfather brought all the Hou family, but now his grandfather is a little bit to destroy the Hou family, his faith seems to be destroyed.
And Hou Shengsheng''s last paragraph made him feel confused and confused. Living is the legend? He still can''t understand this. Maybe only Hou Shengsheng, who tries to help the Hou family wash white step by step, can understand it.
