as old as ever

Master Qiao smiled, the forbearance for so many years was worth it, Su Jinnian finally passed away, today is his happiest day, and he will be able to sit in that seat in a few days.

"Commander, Master Qiao and the others are holding a banquet to celebrate." Lu Zhen walked up to Zhang Jingchu and said,

"Add more people to keep watching Chen Dafu and Master Qiao," Zhang Jingchu said while sitting on a bench in the garden.

The flowers in the garden are almost withered, and winter is coming soon.The weather is also cold.All the flowers are gone, and the beauty is gone.There is no one to accompany him to enjoy the flowers, and no one to listen to his singing.

"Commander, we have found out that the last time Su Jinnian was hunted down by a killer was related to Master Qiao. There is also something strange about Master Su's death."

"Heh! He has hidden so many things! Want to sit in that position? It depends on whether you have that fate! Keep an eye on Chen Dafu, and arrange people around his house. He is the most important witness!"

Zhang Jingchu closed his eyes, crossed his legs and crossed his legs, and leaned back. He was very tired recently, and he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights. He hugged Su Jinnian's portrait all night, and it was dawn when he sat there. A lot of things are busy and there is no time to rest.

Lu Zhen wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Jingchu closed his eyes, he swallowed back his original words, he was tired, let him rest!Lu Zhen didn't bother him, and walked away silently.

It was getting dark quickly, and the weather was a bit cold. Zhang Jingchu woke up from the cold. He patted his clothes and stood up. He walked back to the living room and heard movement behind him. Zhang Jingchu frowned, turned his head and swept towards the tree, and suddenly saw a dark shadow flashes by

"Who?" Vigilance took out the gun at his waist and raised it.Aim at the place that just made the sound.Pull the trigger, and he shoots as soon as someone appears, with impeccable marksmanship.Whoever it is will be shot dead by him on the spot. "Get out!" he yelled,

"Meow, meow", a black cat jumped out, Zhang Jingchu rubbed the center of his brows, because he was too sensitive, thinking about how many soldiers were guarding outside his commander's mansion, how could there be someone come in?And you can even go to the garden in the backyard!It's because I've been too sensitive recently.

He left without thinking too much. After he left, the person behind the tree came out. He was covered by a black hooded cape. The hat was wide, and his entire face was covered by shadows, making it impossible to see clearly. Hidden in the darkness, it seems to be one with the night.

"Commander! Tonight the kitchen made your steamed fish! Sit down and taste it!" Seeing Zhang Jingchu coming back, Xiaorui hurriedly pulled away the chairs in the dining room, set the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Jingchu these few days Having not had a good meal all day, Xiaorui stared at Zhang Jingchu expectantly,

After taking a look at Xiaorui, she sat down. Xiaorui quickly handed the prepared chopsticks to Zhang Jingchu, put a small piece of fish in her mouth, and tasted it carefully. He doesn't like fish very much, but Su Jinnian likes to eat it. Every time I eat with him, I can see that he will eat a few more mouthfuls of fish.So I followed suit. After a long time, everyone thought he liked fish.

"It's delicious!" He ate very little and finished it in a few bites. That fish was the most he ate.Hastily finished.

Back in the study, Zhang Jingchu still hugged the painting in his arms, stroking the scroll with his hands, and lying on the sofa.The lights were not turned on in the room, and he just lay alone in the dark room, recalling the past and his past in his head, the first time they met, they became sworn brothers, he liked to listen to operas, the first time he was in Lianhuating sang to him the drunken concubine with a little drunkenness.Trapped in memories and unable to extricate themselves.

"Zhang Jingchu!" The familiar voice, and this indifferent tone!He sat up straight, sat firmly on the sofa, did not dare to turn his head back, was panting, his eyes were red, and he could not help but tightly grasp the scroll with his hands, tears rolled in his eyes, he did not dare to turn his head,

"Zhang Jingchu!" He called out again, this time with a higher voice than before, and with a little impatience.He immediately stood up from the sofa and turned around. The person he missed day and night was standing in front of the desk, looking at him with a smile. , but I don't know where to start, I only gathered one sentence,

"You're back!"

Zhang Jingchu wanted to step forward and hug him, and had countless things to say to him.But as soon as he touched him, he slowly dissipated like smoke.With nothing in his arms, Zhang Jingchu lowered his head and opened his arms in a daze, his eyes kept rolling.He disappeared.

The room was empty, and there was no one at all. In the dark room, he smiled bitterly, and his body couldn't help taking a step back. His legs were weak and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he held onto the armrest of the chair in front of the table, and grasped it in despair. The armrest of the chair slid to the ground, his eyes were out of focus and his head was hanging down.

Letting him into the crypt was the thing I regretted the most.His body trembled, his shoulders shrugged, and he covered his mouth with his hands, for fear of making a sound, tears could not stop flowing down.Commander Zhang, who used to stand proudly, hid here and cried like a child.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Su family was organizing Su Jinnian's funeral, and the whole mansion was dead. White paper lanterns were hung in front of the Su family's door. The mourning hall had already been set up, with Su Jinnian's spirit tablet placed in the middle.

The servants in the mansion were all dressed in white mourning clothes, and it was true to say that people leave the tea to cool down.Such a big event happened to the Su family, but no one came to condolences. The current Su family doesn't even have a person in charge, and many people who used to fawn on the Su family did not come.Everyone knew that the Su family would belong to Master Qiao in the future.Who would go against Master qiao!The funeral was organized by the butler Fifth Uncle Tensor.

"When the time is up, let's go!" said the butler to Li San who was busy burning paper for Su Jinnian.

"Second Young Master, the body was not found, only the spirit token. Let's send it to the suburbs outside the city for burial!" There are rules for the dead, those without a body cannot enter the family's ancestral hall, let alone Su Jinnian died in a crypt.The body has been buried in the ground.

"Well, Uncle Wu, when the time comes, everyone will get dressed for the funeral. Don't let people think that there is no one in the Su family."

Fifth Uncle walked up to Su Jinnian's memorial tablet, knelt down and kowtowed three times,

"Second Young Master, don't worry!" Fifth Uncle wiped his tears. He grew up watching Su Jinnian, and he felt very sad. He has lived in Su's family all his life.After sending off the master and the young master, now Master Qiao stopped pretending to be righteous and showed his true colors.

Uncle Wu turned around and asked Xiaohuan: "Has the letter for the young master been delivered to the post office?"

"Send it away,"

The young master is studying abroad, and such a big event happened at home. Uncle Wu asked someone to write a letter, intending to send it abroad, but it would not be able to quench his thirst. It is estimated that by the time the young master receives the letter, Master Qiao has already become the president seat.But these things still need to be discussed with the young master.Can't hide it from him.

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 45

"It's time, let's go!" Fifth Uncle said, leading everyone in the family out of Su's house.Uncle Wu held Su Jinnian's spirit card in both hands, and a group of people walked on the street to attend the funeral. Everyone lowered their heads and wore mourning clothes. Li Sanyang threw paper money into the sky with his hands. Everyone knows that the second young master of the Su family is today. On the day of the funeral, they all come to the street to watch.The sky was gray with snowflakes.

"There is only a spirit card, but no coffin. It seems that the rumors are true! Second Young Master Su died in the crypt. There is no corpse!"

"Oh, the way of heaven is not fair. Master Su often does good deeds to accumulate virtue, but in the end, Young Master Su still..."

"That's right! Now that Master Qiao is going to take over the Su's Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid there will be no Su family in the town anymore." The surrounding people discussed,

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Suddenly, many officers and soldiers pointed their guns at the people and shouted. Accompanied by a burst of neat footsteps, an army came running in unison. Cang, aggressively clearing the way on both sides of the road.

Many civilians were pushed to both sides of the road and made way. A military car was driving slowly in the middle of the road. It was very eye-catching. Zhang Jingchu sat in the car with his eyes closed.All it takes is for the whole town to kneel on the ground and shout long live.

"Commander! In front is the procession where people from the Su family are attending the funeral of Second Young Master Su. We collided with them, and we can't get through!" Lu Zhen, sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head and said to Zhang Jingchu who was sitting behind.

"Don't let them pass, let them go back to Su's house." Zhang Jingchu didn't even lift his eyelids.mouth commands,

Lu Zhen got out of the car and waved to a soldier, and whispered a few words to him, the soldier called many soldiers, ran forward all the way, stopped the team of the Su family,

"Turn back quickly! Our commander's car is right behind, and you are blocking the way." The soldier spoke arrogantly, completely ignoring the people of the Su family.

"Didn't your commander see that we are going to a funeral?" Li San yelled angrily, and Uncle Wu looked at the soldier and said calmly:

"Troublesome brother, go and tell your commander that we can't delay the funeral, and ask him to be flexible and let us go first. We belong to the Su family! Your commander and my young master are good friends."

"No! Get out of the way quickly."

"Don't bully others, you must know that we belong to the Su family!" Xiaohuan stood up and shouted.Although Xiaohuan is just a little maid, she has served Su Jinnian for many years and is very loyal to Su Jinnian.She will not be afraid at this time.

Uncle Wu thought that Zhang Jingchu would give way to Su Jinnian's face, but he refused directly.

"Quickly back away, or we will violently suppress it."

"You guys!" Uncle Wu stared, "We just won't move out of the way. Let's see what you can do to us?"

Seeing Uncle Wu's tough attitude, Xiao Bing didn't intend to retreat at all. He lost his mind for a while, so he turned his head to look at Lu Zhen.Lu Zhen raised his chin to signal to continue moving forward.After receiving Lu Zhen's instructions, I felt relieved.Don't worry about it anymore.

After calling out to the soldiers on both sides, they stepped forward and beat the Su family group violently. The Su family was also unwilling. The two groups fought on the street, but the soldiers had guns in their hands, and no one dared to act rashly. They used their hands The Su family was hit with the back of the gun in the gun, and the fifth uncle was holding the sign, and was pushed and shoved to the ground in a panic.

"Uncle Wu!" Xiaohuan yelled, and Li San immediately stepped forward to help Uncle Wu.After all, Uncle Wu was getting old, so he fell to the ground and helped him up, panting heavily, and now he was a little bit powerless.

"This commander is really unreasonable! How can you say that death is the most important thing! As for?"

"Didn't you say that Commander Zhang and the second young master of the Su family are good friends? Besides, the second young master Su didn't come out of the crypt that he went with!"

"What do you know? Once Second Young Master Su dies, what else does the Su family have? But it's just these servants, and even the Su's Chamber of Commerce will belong to Master Qiao in a few days. Commander Zhang is hurrying to separate himself from the Su family." Woolen cloth!"

"I think he made friends with Second Young Master Su for the sake of Second Young Master Su's identity! It seems that he has just died, and he is so ruthless. He is just a commander, and his official airs are oppressive. Bullying the unarmed Su family. "

The people around were discussing and whispering about the current affairs.He also pointed and pointed at Zhang Jingchu, and they all stood by the Su family.The people were outraged when they saw this scene.

"Let the Su family pass!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, one person started shouting, and then someone continued to shout, "Let the Su family pass!" At first, there was only one person, and then more and more unconsciously Some people shouted, "Let the Su family go!"

All the people shouted "Let the Su family pass!" The voices became louder and louder.Master Su helped many people during his lifetime, and often helped the common people, but they couldn't stand it, so they protested.Listening to the voice, the soldiers didn't know who to suppress.

Zhang Jingchu sat in the car and listened to the sound outside. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sound was so loud that he couldn't even pretend he couldn't hear it.He had no choice but to get out of the car himself.

"Let the Su family go!" The voice was still so loud, Zhang Jingchu frowned, and it was snowing heavily outside.There was heavy snow and it was a little cold.Zhang Jingchu is dressed in a military uniform and a military cap.

Originally, he was tall, standing there as if standing out from the crowd, raising his head slightly as if looking down on all living beings.His long and narrow eyes scanned all the crowd who were shouting in unison.He raised his gun and fired three times into the sky, and suddenly there was silence, and there was no sound at all.Zhang Jingchu took a leisurely pace, and his military boots stepped on the ground and made a "tick, tap, tap" sound.He walked up to the Su family.

"Commander!" the soldier saluted him,

"Commander Zhang! For our young master's sake, let us go there!" Fifth Uncle said tremblingly.There is a small ring on the side to support the body.

"Oh? Not only will I not let you! I want you to return to the Su family," these words were extremely arrogant,

"What did you say? Commander Zhang, you are too deceptive!"

"I told you to return to the Su family!"

He glanced at the spirit card Fifth Uncle was holding, turned around and returned to the car without saying anything.Sitting in the car, he watched coldly as the Su family was driven back to the Su family by his soldiers.Afraid of causing public anger again, the soldiers began to clear the way around to maintain law and order.

The car was driving slowly again, followed by trotting soldiers. Uncle Wu could only retreat to Su's house. They were just ordinary people, how could they fight against soldiers.

"Commander! Is it not good for you to do this, after all, today is the day when Second Young Master Su is buried!" Lu Zhen turned around and said.

"Buried?" Zhang Jingchu asked back.

To force the Su family back, Zhang Jingchu ordered the car to follow the Su family until they retreated back to the Su family.Looking at the solemnity and simplicity of the Su family, with white gauze hanging on the plaques at the door, Zhang Jingchu felt very upset.
