Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

"Zhu Zi, your learning and comprehension abilities are truly innate. You should know that it took me three months to learn this when I entered the Thousand Gates. I didn't expect you to have mastered it in less than an hour."

Facing Long Si's compliments, He Yuzhu scratched his head awkwardly.

"Master, you're too kind, maybe it's because I have a foundation in martial arts.

By the way, how many apprentices have you had?"

When Long Si heard He Yuzhu ask this, he sighed and gradually recalled the past.

"Zhu Zi, actually you are my fourth apprentice.

Your eldest senior brother was called Shen Shengtian. After he became an apprentice, he was known as the Gambler of the North. I recruited him when I was 30 years old and traveling in Western Liao Province. However, he is no longer alive. He died in a gambling game with his enemies.

Your second senior brother is called Chen Zhabei. After he became a master, he was called the Little God of Gambling. I accepted him in Shanghai when I was 35 years old. He was quite talented and it took him half a year to learn this trick. He was also my most promising disciple. It was a pity that he participated in a patriotic action and died tragically at the hands of the Japanese devils.

As for the unfilial evildoer Huang Tianba who betrayed his master and ancestors, I took him in when I was 54 years old in Shantou City. He spent 8 months learning this, so he can be considered talented. However, they are far inferior to you. "

......................

When Long Si mentioned Shen Shengtian and Chen Zhabei, he felt more regretful, and when he mentioned Huang Tianba, he felt more angry and confused.

He Yuzhu waited for Long Si to finish speaking before comforting him appropriately.

"Master, don't worry. I will do my best to help you achieve your wish regarding cleaning up the sect."

After hearing He Yuzhu's reply, Long Si nodded affirmatively.

The reason why He Yuzhu worked so hard to learn all kinds of tricks was actually to win the gambling license of Bo City, because he knew that he would not be able to deal with those local tyrants with his own financial resources.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. Although I am a martial artist at the level of a grandmaster, I will be completely helpless when faced with the help of the Thousand Gates. Otherwise, even if I get the gambling license by chance, I will not be able to keep the results. The other party only needs to send some Thousand Gates people to mess up the place. I might open the business today and close it that night.

During the following period of time, He Yuzhu kept traveling back and forth between the Jingzhou Security Bureau, Shantou City Government, and his own villa.

Whenever he has free time, he will learn cheating techniques from Long Si.

By February of 62, He Yuzhu had already learned 2 points, basically mastering all of Long Si's skills and some of his explosive moves.

On this day, He Yuzhu was working in the Shantou Municipal Government as usual. There were still five days before the Chinese New Year, and he missed his wife Hao Chunlan and his two sons, He Weiguo and Hao Aiguo.

He felt that the entire Shantou City was now stable and it was time to bring his wife and children here.

Thinking of this, he immediately called the landline phone in his father-in-law Hao Jinlong's office.

15 seconds later, the call was connected, and the voice of his father-in-law Hao Jinlong came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, who is it?"

He Yuzhu: "Dad, it's me, He Yuzhu!"

Hao Jinlong on the other end of the phone was quite surprised to hear that it was He Yuzhu who called.

"Zhu Zi, it turns out to be you, kid. You haven't contacted me, your father, for a long time. What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems today that you need my help with?"

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly when he heard Hao Jinlong's reply.

"Dad, no, I'm not here to ask you for help today, but I'm now the director of the Handong Security Branch, and I'm basically in control of the power in Shantou City, Handong Province. It's stable, and I want to bring Chunlan and my two sons to Shantou City to settle the situation."

When Hao Jinlong on the other end of the phone heard this, he immediately changed the subject.

"So that's how it is. I'll talk to Chunlan and see what she says then. As for my two precious grandchildren, you can take Weiguo away, but Aiguo has to stay with us old couple. Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate for your family to be reunited and leave us two behind.

In addition, I would like to congratulate you on your successful appointment as the director of the Anton Branch. Don't blame me for sending you this blessing so late. I only learned about your promotion from you in person, because I was previously relieved of my duties at the Security Branch."

When He Yuzhu heard what Hao Jinlong said on the other end of the phone, he was stunned.

"Dad, what's going on? Weren't you the deputy director of the Xiliao Provincial Security Bureau before? Logically, you should have replaced Director Yang as the director. Why were you relieved of these duties? Then your position as deputy governor is still there, right?"

Facing He Yuzhu's doubts, Hao Jinlong on the other end of the phone explained:

"Zhu Zi, your father's job title has not changed.

But this is a long story, and it’s hard to explain it over the phone. If possible, you can come to Yangshen City directly during the Chinese New Year and celebrate the New Year here.”

When He Yuzhu heard his father-in-law's invitation, he readily accepted it.

"Okay, Dad, that's fine. I'll go back to Xiliao Province this year."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu began to plan his next trip to Western Liao.

Just as he was thinking about how to arrange it, his phone suddenly rang again.

He immediately took it again.

"Hello, who is it?"

The voice of his godfather Lou Zhenhua came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhu Zi, it's me!"

He Yuzhu was quite surprised to hear that it was his godfather who called, and immediately asked, "Godfather, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so urgently? Is there something wrong?"

In response to He Yuzhu's question, Lou Zhenhua immediately explained his purpose.

"Zhu Zi, are you free now? Take some time to come to Huaying Street. I have something very important to discuss with you."

When He Yuzhu heard what Lou Zhenhua said, his brows immediately wrinkled into a shape of "川".

"Godfather, is there anything you can't tell me over the phone?"

The person on the other end of the phone said: "Zhu Zi, this matter is quite complicated. I can't explain it clearly over the phone in a short time. Anyway, trust me and come over when you have time."

He Yuzhu looked at the clock on the wall and calculated the time.

"Okay, godfather, how about this? Let's meet at Yuelai Inn on Huaying Street tonight. I'll be here right now."

The person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, Zhuzi, let's meet and talk then."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought.

He felt that his godfather seemed to have something very important to tell him, but he couldn't guess what it was, so he simply put on his coat, called Lin Zhiwei from the secretariat, and drove to Huaying Street in Xin'an County together. After all, there was still some distance from Shantou City to Huaying Street.
