as old as ever

Su Jinnian suddenly ran up and grabbed his arm, and shook his arm, "What's wrong with you? It's been strange since you came back." Zhang Jingchu was taken aback suddenly, the person in front of him didn't disappear, he could even Accurately feeling the temperature of Su Jinnian's body including his breathing, lowered his head and looked at the jade hand holding his arm in disbelief, then slowly moved his gaze to the person in front of him, it was true, he could really Feel it, it's no longer an illusion.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry if you didn't buy any fish? What a big deal! How can you embarrass you, Commander Zhang, so much that you dare not go home? At worst, I'll skip a meal! It doesn't matter!"

"Home?" Zhang Jingchu raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment in this small courtyard. Although it is an ordinary farmyard, it is elegant and simple. "Is this my home?" Zhang Jingchu asked Su Jinnian in a questioning tone. However, when these words reached Su Jinnian's ears, they had a completely different meaning. Su Jinnian said, "Are you going to drive me away?"

"Of course I didn't mean that! It's just that I can't believe it." He couldn't believe that this was his home, and the person in front of him, no, this was the home of the two of them.

"What's wrong with you today, it's weird. I asked you to buy fish but you didn't get it back,"

"Today's fish are all sold out, I'll go early tomorrow," Zhang Jingchu continued following his words.He didn't want to break this beauty.

"Forget it," Su Jinnian grabbed his arm and pulled him under the peach blossom tree, pointing to the swing and said, "I want to swing, you push me from behind." Su Jinnian sat on the swing, Zhang Jingchu stood Su Jinnian gently shook the vines at both ends of the swing with his hands.

"You should work harder!"

"Second brother, I really miss you." Zhang Jingchu lowered his head and looked at him, the words he wanted to say most when he saw him were,

"Brother, I miss you too." Holding the swing, Su Jinnian leaned back and looked up at Zhang Jingchu behind him. The smile on his face was so bright, and his big eyes looked deeply at Zhang Jingchu. Zhang Jingchu.

Zhang Jingchu couldn't believe his ears, it couldn't be an auditory hallucination!It was the first time he heard him call himself brother after being with him for so long, he knew that Su Jinnian didn't agree with him as brother in his heart, even after being married for so long, he always called him by his full name.Zhang Jingchu asked again; "You...just...what did you call me?"

"Brother! Haven't you always been my brother!" He raised his head and called his brother naturally, his warm smile could infect him, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

"That's right! I'm your brother, and he's so happy that he finally called himself brother after waiting for so long.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Jinnian let go of his hands, and his whole body fell backwards.

"Be careful!" Zhang Jingchu immediately bent down to support him, lest he fall and hurt himself.Zhang Jingchu slowly helped him up and sat on the swing, with a bit of reproach in his tone: "Why are you so careless, if you fall down, you will suffer!"

"Isn't there you behind me! I'm sure I won't get hurt."

"I have nothing to do with you." Zhang Jingchu pampered Su Jinnian's head, walked up to sit on the swing with him, Su Jinnian looked forward and asked, "Brother, do you like this place?" ?”

"I like wherever you are." Although the answer sounds like deceptive sweet words to others, but Zhang Jingchu's words are not mixed with any falsehood. If there is no him, he will not be happy even if he lives in the palace. It doesn't matter where they are, and besides, it's so comfortable and no one disturbs them, Zhang Jingchu couldn't wish for it!

"As long as you like it, brother, if you want to give up your military power and wealth, and live here alone with me instead of being Commander Zhang?"

"I am willing, as long as I can be with you, why not give up everything! You are the most important thing in my life. Power and wealth are just a fleeting moment, and I will lose to you in the end."

"Brother, it's good of you to say that." Su Jinnian took his arm, leaning her head lightly on his shoulder.There is a happy smile on his face.

Suddenly a dazzling light shot out in front of his eyes, he turned his head and covered his eyes with the back of his hand, his eyes couldn't see anything, everything around him became glowing and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Commander, what do you think!" Bai Jiujiao asked with concern while sitting by the bed.It took Zhang Jingchu a while to recover, blinked, and looked at Bai Jiujiao who was beside him. He drank too much last night and stayed overnight at Bai Jiujiao's place.It turned out that everything was just a dream, this dream was so real, as if it was real, he could even feel Su Jinnian's warmth and breath, what a good night's dream!

"I'm fine," Zhang Jingchu pressed his temples and half-closed his eyes.

"Commander, it's been a long day, and you just woke up. It's possible that you drank too much wine yesterday. Do you feel a headache! Let me get you a cup of tea!" Bai Jiujiao went to the table and got a glass of water , handed it to Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jingchu took the porcelain teacup in her hand, and said, "I slept really deeply,"

Bai Jiujiao was puzzled. Logically speaking, even if her pipa was used, Zhang Jingchu couldn't sleep for so long!Did I accidentally make it like this! "Commander, maybe you're tired!" She just found an excuse and prevaricated, Zhang Jingchu didn't say much.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, he got out of bed, straightened his sleeves and put on the coat on the table. "Miss Bai, I'll be leaving at this time." After speaking, he left.

Zhang Jingchu casually walked down the street, still remembering yesterday's dream in his head, feeling that the dream was really good, in the dream he and his second brother were really happy, if it was like this in reality, how wonderful it would be!How wonderful it would be if I didn't wake up from that dream!

"Commander, you're back," Lu Zhen stood in the courtyard and was about to go out to find him!I saw him walking back slowly.

"what happened again?"

"Master Qiao became the chairman of Su's Chamber of Commerce early this morning, and spread the news recklessly. Now the whole town knows about it."

"I actually missed it, forget it! Anyway, better days are ahead, not bad today." Zhang Jingchu made a gesture to Lu Zhen, asking him to come closer. Zhang Jingchu whispered something in his ear, and Lu Zhen revealed Embarrassed, he glanced at Zhang Jingchu hesitantly, "Commander, it's not good to do this!"

"If you are told to do whatever you want, there are so many problems."

"Good Commander, I'll do it now." Lu Zhen didn't hesitate too much, and he could only obey Zhang Jingchu's orders. He has always respected Zhang Jingchu and never disobeyed Zhang Jingchu's intentions, but today he asked himself to do it. Things are really not good.

Zhang Jingchu walked back to his room, walked to the bed, fell backwards, and hit the bed. The soft bed bounced a few times, and he looked at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.Not only Lu Zhen doubted himself, but even himself doubted whether he was the upright and selfless Zhang Jingchu, Commander Zhang!

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 54

Now that I have learned to use the military power that I used to disdain the most to suppress people, I have also started to use power for personal gain and oppress the people with power. Maybe I have changed. Zhang Jingchu raised his hand in front of his eyes, looked at the ring on his hand, grinned bitterly It's so desolate, it's not that they have changed, but they forced themselves to change, and they just want to protect him.

When I closed my eyes, that person's face appeared in my mind, that bright smile and the voice he called my brother echoed in my ears, and I can't forget it for a long time. The hustle and bustle is like the life of a couple of gods and immortals, which is what I have always yearned for in my heart.There were only the two of them, at ease.I really hope that I can never wake up from that dream, so that I can be with him forever.I was surprised by the sudden thought in my heart!Even if it's a dream, it's all fake. : Even if he, Zhang Jingchu, deploys all his troops to turn over the entire crypt, he will still have to dig out Su Jinnian.Clenching his fists vigorously, he was about to find Su Jinnian,

"How is things going?" Zhang Jingchu sat at the desk looking at the book in his hand, writing with a pen in one hand, and asked Lu Zhenzhen without raising his head.

"Everything is done, and the person is in prison."

The pen in his hand paused, and he said, "Have you notified Chen Dafu?"

"He has already sent someone to inform you that he will meet you at Zuitian Restaurant."

Zhang Jingchu raised his head, closed the book, carefully capped the pen in his hand, and put it in the drawer.He raised his head: "Since everyone is in prison, I'll go and have a look!"

Lu Zhen went with him to the prison where the prisoners were held. Lu Zhen led the way. As soon as he entered the prison, a musty smell and stench came over his face. Zhang Jingchu frowned. He seldom came Here, it is not ventilated and humid all the year round, and there are mice, insects and ants.It is inevitable that some things ferment and give off some strange smells, and various flavors are mixed together.The smell really made him feel uncomfortable. It was pitch black inside, with no sunlight coming in at all. There were a few electric lights hanging from the roof, and the light was so dim that he could barely see the road clearly.This dark and humid place is where the prisoners are held, and ordinary people cannot enter.

I really didn't want to stay here for a moment, Zhang Jingchu asked, "Where's the person?"

"It's just ahead." Lu Zhen led Zhang Jingchu to the innermost cell, where the man was imprisoned. His hands were tied to wooden stakes, and his feet were locked with chains hanging on the wall. He couldn't move and was dizzy. past.

"Wake him up." Zhang Jingchu ordered the soldier who was guarding the side. The soldier got a bucket of water from somewhere, went into the cell, and poured him from head to toe. The cold water in this winter made his whole body feel cold. In the end, he suddenly woke up completely.

"Where is this? What are you going to do?" He struggled vigorously with the chains that bound him, tossing and twisting his body back and forth, but he was firmly bound, so it was a waste of energy.

"I arrested you to make your father submit obediently. Don't worry! As long as you are willing to cooperate, we can release you." He is Chen Dafu's son, Chen Dafu is very proud of him, and he was arrested to threaten him. Chen Dafu's.

He raised his head and saw Zhang Jingchu who was standing tall and straight outside the prison, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zhang Jingchu turned out to be you, why did you arrest me?"

"Didn't I tell you to cooperate with us? As long as you admit that your family secretly colluded with Master Qiao and sold arms to foreign businessmen without permission, I will let you go." But it is to bear the infamy of selling arms to foreign businessmen for the rest of his life.Now that the situation is fierce, it is a serious crime to dare to give arms to foreign businessmen right now.No matter how powerful Chen Dafu is, he will not be able to stay in Qingping Town, and the common people will point at him and scold him.

"Bah!" He spat violently and spit on the ground. "I want my father to be charged with this unfounded crime, just dream about it!" This Chen Liang is not a fool, doing this kind of business at this juncture is a capital offense.It is absolutely impossible for him to admit it, unless he wants the entire Chen family to go bankrupt.Even if you are beaten to death, you can't recognize it.

"You are still tough! Zhang Jingchu stepped back and saw the simple tables and chairs beside him. He lifted his military cloak with his big hands and sat on the stool, crossing his legs. "Give him torture and see if he recognizes it." "He said to the soldiers on the side,

There are all kinds of criminal laws here, which are specially used to deal with those hard-talking people.When you get here, no matter how tight and hard your mouth is, they can use various methods to pry your mouth open. No one can survive several criminal laws.

Lu Zhen on the side immediately said: "Commander, I really find it hard to accept that you do this. This Chen Liang is only Chen Dafu's son, and he has not participated in anything! Doing this is against your reputation as Commander Zhang."

"Lu Zhen, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, you can go to other things first!"

"Commander, I just want to..." Lu Zhen wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Zhang Jingchu: "Lu Zhen, go get busy first! You don't have to worry about this matter." Zhang Jingchu ignored Lu Zhen and said directly : "Hurry up and execute!"

Lu Zhen hesitated to speak, no matter what he said, the commander would not listen, and insisted on it again and again. He was also troubled here, looked at Zhang Jingchu with complicated eyes, and left.

Hearing Zhang Jingchu's order, Xiaobing immediately took the whip from the wall. The whip is soft, but it can make you feel excruciating pain when you hit it on your body. Chen Liang's skin immediately oozes blood when the whip comes down, but he wants to endure it. But the pain is unbearable!He yelled and shouted: "Zhang Jingchu, you are being tortured into a trick. You are using power for personal gain. You are not clear about your business and private interests. You are not worthy of being the commander. You are not worthy."

After more than a dozen whips, he didn't have the extra strength to shout, his breath was weak, his eyes were no longer as fierce as before, and he half-closed his eyes. The gorgeous and beautiful clothes on his body were already in tatters, and the broken fabric was stained with a lot of blood. This whip is a special feature. Yes, even though he is soft, he can tear your skin apart. He is in a state of embarrassment with scars all over his body, and he has completely lost the image of a noble son just now.Like an ordinary prisoner in training, even worse than an ordinary person, his head was slumped, lifeless, groggy

"Pour him some more water, sober up," Zhang Jingchu sat there, calmly took off the leather gloves on his hands, put them on the table neatly, and issued orders in his mouth,

Immediately, a bucket of water was splashed on Chen Liang's face, and the water trickled down from his face,

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 55

"Zhang Jingchu, you son of a bitch, you're going to die." He raised his head and uttered these words with difficulty.

Zhang Jingchu smiled slightly, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees gracefully, and completely ignored Chen Liang's cursing.Sitting outside the cage and looking at Chen Liang's expression is like listening to an opera in a theater, admiring with his eyes,

"Did you not eat? You are so weak, are you not happy to see Young Master Chen?" Zhang Jingchu calmly said to the executioner inside.Hearing Zhang Jingchu's words, the man swung the whip even more vigorously. The sound of the whip hitting the skin was especially loud in the empty cell.The whole body is bloody and bloody, with cuts and bruises all over the body, every skin oozes blood, and another basin of water is poured on the body, the blood and water mix and flow down together,

He has no strength anymore, he is no longer struggling and shouting, probably numb, but he is just a fish to be slaughtered.

"I heard that there is a criminal law called thousands of cuts. It is to find a skilled executioner to cut off the flesh of the person one by one. The knife is not fatal, but the person can survive a thousand cuts. Or Chen Young Master, give it a try, it will open my eyes, after all, I have never seen this kind of torture before. I am very curious." Zhang Jingchu said such cruel words calmly with a smile on his face, as if he was joking and saying ordinary words.It's hard to think that such words would come from Zhang Jingchu's mouth, it doesn't match his handsome and upright image.

"Hehe," he looked at Zhang Jingchu with a sneer, "Could Commander Zhang use torture to extract a confession!"

"Of course it's more than that. What I'm good at is taking hostages to force you to confess. What about wives and children, parents at home, etc., but all related relatives and friends can't escape. After all, there are many hard bones like you. , I have to start from other places! Find the weakness that defeats my heart the most.” He said it very confidently, as if the person being interrogated was a heinous criminal.

"Zhang Jingchu, what did you do to them, you let my family go," he roared angrily, looking at Zhang Jingchu through gritted teeth,

"You are tough, I really appreciate you, but you have used your toughness in the wrong place. For me, I like to smash your tough bones to pieces, and then step on them hard."

"Don't worry, as long as you plead guilty, you will release your wife and children immediately, and then send troops to escort them home safely. Their life and death are in your hands. You have to think about it. After all, your son is still very cute, and he is still so young. , as a father, you should think about it carefully, "

"Don't touch my son, don't touch him, please." It was like breaking through Chen Liang's line of defense, breaking the most fragile thread in his heart, and he was no longer as indifferent and comfortable as before. Don't be afraid, the aura of wanting to kill and cut is gone immediately,

"You let them go, I will admit them all, all of them..." Whether as a man or as a father, wife and children are very important, and sons are the flesh and blood of one's heart!

"Isn't that right! You said that if you had been earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer such flesh and blood," Zhang Jingchu winked at the little soldier beside Hou, who immediately took the confession letter and asked people to release Chen Liang Opening his hands, without the support of the wooden stakes, he was lying on the cold ground like a puddle of soft mud. The blood all over his body made his heart tremble. This is the young owner of Zuitian Restaurant in Qingping Town!That's how he became a prisoner.

Handing him the crime book and the pen, Chen Liang struggled to hold the pen with trembling hands.But he still signed his name on it tremblingly, and pressed his handprint on it.

Seeing that he had finished all this, he immediately took out the paper from his hand, hurriedly went out and handed it to Zhang Jingchu to read.

Zhang Jingchu sat looking at the confession in his hand, and smiled with satisfaction.Then fold it up and put it in your pocket,

"Zhang Jingchu, how did I offend you? You want to persecute our whole family like this." Chen Liang has never been able to understand why Zhang Jingchu pointed the finger at himself since he was arrested.There has never been any hostility between them!He didn't even meet him a few times, Chen Liang lay face down on the ground, asking Zhang Jingchu.

"You should ask your father Chen Dafu about this matter. He knows best what he has done."

"You're doing it for him, right? For him, right? I didn't expect you to spend so much trouble just for Su Ershao," Chen Liang met Su Jinnian just once, and he could never forget that person's face in his life. He will never forget it in his life, that is the most beautiful face he has ever seen in the world, and the temperament revealed in his gestures can make the sun and the moon shine.

Zhang Jingchu looked at Chen Liang coldly, put his hands in his pockets, got up and looked down at Chen Liang, turned around and was about to leave, just took a few steps,

"Second Young Master Su, does he know what you look like? On the surface, he is an honest gentleman, but his heart is the most disgusting. It is rumored outside that you are a handsome face of a banished fairy. It is ridiculous. They are all deceived by your face. Even Su Er At least I was deceived by you. Such a good-looking skin hides the devil in your bones, and you are worthy of being his friend and staying by his side," Chen Liang laughed mockingly.He was satirizing Zhang Jingchu,

Zhang Jingchu stopped, turned his back to Chen Liang and said indifferently: "I will never let him know." After finishing speaking, he left gracefully, and Chen Liang was still shouting behind him: "Zhang Jingchu, sooner or later he will see your hypocritical face and then I hate you, I will stay away from you, you are just a disgusting hypocrite, hahahaha," no matter how much he shouted, Zhang Jingchu ignored him and left directly, but Chen Liang's last words made Zhang Jingchu hit him hard Heart, he was very disturbed.

He was afraid that Su Jinnian would leave him, that Su Jinnian would hate him if he found out that he was actually such a person, but even if he hated him, he was gone.

Everything I do is for him, he can do even more vicious and dirty things than this little thing, it doesn't matter!As long as it's for him, everything doesn't matter, he comforted himself in his heart.He finally became the kind of person he hated the most.

He hurriedly walked to the edge of the cistern outside. The surface of the water was covered with ice due to the weather. He stretched out his hand to push the ice away, but there was only a layer of ice on the surface. He lowered his head and held the cold water in his hands one after another. He slapped himself hard on the face, he wanted to calm himself down, the clothes on his chest were wet, he panted loudly, white mist came out from his mouth, he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of the deep feeling in his heart. Uneasy and trembling, the cold water adhered to his face and the cold wind blowing outside, the tip of his tongue licked the drops of water hanging on the peak of his lips, although he didn't want to admit it, but Chen Liang's words made him feel lingering.

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 56

Today, Zuitian Restaurant is rarely closed.This drunken restaurant is open all year round without a break.But today the door was unexpectedly closed.The door was closed and did not open, and many guests who had previously seated here were returned, which is really strange.

But Zhang Jingchu was sitting in a private workshop on the second floor of Zuitian Restaurant.There was a charcoal hot pot on the wine table, and Zhang Jingchu calmly picked up the sliced ​​meat on the table with chopsticks and put it in it, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, someone came, and the door was pushed open. The person who came was Chen Dafu, the owner of Zuitian Restaurant. He was smiling and almost lost sight of his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes would probably kill mosquitoes. He walked towards Zhang Jingchu with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Commander Zhang, I'm late, don't take it for you!" The hypocrisy of the smile, even if he knew that Zhang Jingchu had arrested his family, he could still be so calm and calm. Still smiling at Zhang Jingchu, this is the old fritters who have been around for a long time, and they are much calmer than those ignorant young people.

He pulled out his chair and continued, "I don't know what Commander Zhang wants me to do, Chen Dafu! He even went to my house and invited my whole family to the Commander's Mansion as guests."

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Boss Chen for help!" Zhang Jingchu took the boiled meat slices and put them in his bowl without haste.

"What you say is just flattering me. I am an ordinary person, how can I help you?" The voice-over of what he said was euphemistically evasive, and at the same time lowered his status, deliberately raising Zhang Jingchu's status.

"You are not ordinary! No one else can help you except you." Zhang Jingchu put the sliced ​​meat in his mouth and savored it carefully. "This meat is quite delicious, Boss Chen should try it too!" Zhang Jingchu nodded and praised the taste, pointing to the pot with his chopsticks,

Chen Dafu waved his hand, no matter how calm he was as usual, he still couldn't let it go, no matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't finish it now!

"Commander Zhang, what do you want me to do for you! As long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk it, and I will do my best to do it for you,"

Zhang Jingchu grinned, chewed the meat in his mouth and said, "About Master Qiao, I don't want him to be the president of the Su Chamber of Commerce, so I want to work with you to force him to step down."

This Master Qiao has always been his business partner. If he falls, he will lose his fortune!At that time, I don't know who else will sit in the chairman's seat, at least Master Qiao can talk to himself, he can't help Zhang Jingchu, "Commander Zhang, you are joking, I am only a member of the chamber of commerce, how can I decide who will be the chairman?" Long!"

Zhang Jingchu raised his eyebrows at Chen Dafu. He had expected this a long time ago. He picked up a plate of meat on the table and poured it into the pot. While stirring carefully, he said: "Let's open the skylight to speak honestly, and we are no longer playing charades. I It's about bringing down Master Qiao, can you help with a word?"

"I......"

"Boss Chen, I have already found out that you and him have colluded to sell arms without permission. Your goods were seized by my soldiers before they left the dock. Now the goods are still on hold in my commander's mansion!"

"I don't know what Commander Zhang said!" Boss Chen decided not to admit it, pretending that he didn't know anything, as innocent as if he had been wronged by Zhang Jingchu.

"Okay, but the last time Su Jinnian and I were eating in your restaurant, we were almost poisoned to death by someone!"

Before Boss Chen could speak, Zhang Jingchu made a stop gesture and said, "Let me tell you, last time you and Master Qiao conspired to kill Su Jinnian, poisoned him, and wanted him to die in your drunken restaurant. It's a pity that you didn't expect that he would come here to eat with me, so Su Jinnian escaped."

"Even if I want to poison, why would I be in my own restaurant! Doesn't this arouse suspicion! Commander Zhang is not a joke, I hope you can be careful!" Chen Dafu immediately refuted Zhang Jingchu and excused himself , It is very logical and convincing,

"Su Jinnian is not in good health. Even if he dies, you can say that he is in a state of emergency, and then you can shirk responsibility. Don't explain too much. The letters between you and Master Qiao are in my hand. Lia!"

"That thing can't be said to be a forgery. How can I prove that it must be me! Maybe someone else is trying to harm Su Er Shao!"

"Is this also a forgery?" Zhang Jingchu took out Chen Liang's confession letter, opened it and took it to Chen Dafu's eyes. It was his son's handwriting with fingerprints on it. He couldn't sit still immediately, and stood up to grab it. , Zhang Jingchu put it away one step faster than him, and put it in his pocket.

"Zhang Jingchu, I don't admit to this trumped-up crime. You are the commander who wants to impose a crime, so there is nothing wrong with it!"

"You are right, so what if I just want to convict you for no reason and without any evidence! I just want to see that you don't like it? I just want to charge you with treason and collaborating with the enemy. Your whole family will die There is no place for burial." These words are extremely arrogant, even if you are unreasonable, how can you do anything to me!One must know that Zhang Jingchu covered the sky with one hand in this small place.

Zhang Jingchu poured a cup of tea, took a sip, put down the cup and said, "Boss Chen, why don't you talk anymore!" He smiled at him,

"Zhang Jingchu, don't bully people too much. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry! Let alone me!" Seeing that the talks could no longer be reached, Chen Dafu didn't pretend anymore. The teacup on the table fell to the ground angrily, and the cup made a crisp sound, smashed into pieces, and the cup fell into a sign. When the cup fell to the ground, it immediately rushed into the room from the outside. Many people, all with guns, dozens of guns at once Aim at Zhang Jingchu.surrounded him in a circle.

Faced with such a shocking scene, Zhang Jingchu continued to eat meat from the pot without changing his face, without even raising his head, Chen Dafu took out a gun from his suit jacket and pointed it at Zhang Jingchu who was eating, mockingly smiled; "Zhang Dafu Commander, you didn’t expect it! I would keep such a hand! I’ll tell you, if you don’t release my family today, you don’t even think about getting out of this house.” Chen Dafu pointed a gun at Zhang Jingchu and threatened.

Zhang Jingchu smiled, raised his head calmly, and finally put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Chen Dafu's eyes: "Boss Chen knows to keep his hand, will I really go to your grand banquet alone? You think I'm stupid , or do you think that this is how smart you are alone?"

"Boss Chen pointed a gun at my head and talked to me, which made me really unhappy!" Zhang Jingchu waved his hand, and with a loud crash, many plates of vegetables and raw meat on the table were swept to the ground . "Bring people up!" Zhang Jingchu said to the door,

The door was kicked open, and several soldiers pressed several people in. There were adults and children, all of whom were pushed up by their shoulders and stood in a row. The soldiers who pressed them pressed their guns to their temples, and they were all terrified. stand together,

Zhang Jingchu said enthusiastically: "Look at how careful I am, I specially invited your family here, including your wife, your daughter-in-law, your lovely little grandson, and your beautiful daughter," Zhang Jingchu pointed to As they introduced each other one by one, "Of course, your son is locked up in my prison right now! Don't worry!"

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 57

"Zhang Jingchu, don't you even look at the current situation. I'm the one who pointed a gun at your head. This house is mine. I'll let you release all my family members now, or we'll die. Don't Forget that you are the commander, I am just a small businessman, and it is not worthwhile to die together with me."

After listening to Chen Dafu's words, Zhang Jingchu suddenly laughed and shrugged his shoulders. He thought Zhang Jingchu couldn't accept the current situation, so he couldn't stop laughing. His laughter was so loud that Chen Dafu was a little upset and asked loudly with a gun. : "What are you laughing at? You are dying."

"Haha," Zhang Jingchu seemed to have heard a great joke, he lowered his head and laughed, and kept patting the table with his hands, and he was out of breath from laughing and nodded at Chen Dafu.

"Boss Chen should really open his eyes and look at the current situation. Whose head is the gun aimed at?"

All the guns aimed at Zhang Jingchu immediately turned around, and the situation changed all at once. All the guns were aimed at Chen Dafu. Chen Dafu was shocked by the sudden situation and didn't react for a while, and shouted: "What's the matter with you guys?" Are you going to rebel?"

"Are they?" Zhang Jingchu stood up and pointed to the person behind him.Said: "It's all my people, don't you pay attention? I have been staring at you for a long time, and I have dealt with your people early in the morning. I, Zhang Jingchu, never fight uncertain battles. I am sure about everything today." It's already planned."

"You......, you.......Chen Dafu's hand holding the gun trembled, "Zhang Jingchu, you are cruel. "

"Master, you should cooperate with Commander Zhang! Our sons have already been arrested," his wife cried to dissuade him, but Chen Dafu acted as if he didn't hear him.He looked at Zhang Jingchu coldly.

Zhang Jingchu smiled, leaned back in the chair with his upper body, folded his legs together, waved to the child hiding behind the woman's legs, and said softly, "Come here, come to Uncle."

The child immediately broke free from the shackles of his mother and ran to Zhang Jingchu. The mother of the child was crying desperately behind her, tears like broken beads knelt on the ground and shouted: "Commander Zhang, please don't, he's just a child! !"

"Master, hurry up and save our grandson!" Chen Dafu's wife was so frightened that her little grandson ran to Zhang Jingchu's side and her heart exploded.Quickly shouted Chen Dafu, his daughter saw that her father still refused to admit defeat, stomped her feet angrily, and said reproachfully: "Father, do you want to see our whole family die in front of you? Hurry up and save us!" The child My mother was like a fool, lying on the ground and crying like a tearful person.Covering his heart with his hands: "Commander Zhang, please let the child go!"

Sitting on the chair, Zhang Jingchu bent down and touched the child's head amiably. He was very gentle. He gently teased the child with his hands. He looked at the child who had just reached his lap and felt very cute. While fiddled with the child's soft With a small face, he said, "Don't beg me, you should beg your father." The child is so ignorant, he doesn't know the danger, let alone what the adults in this room are doing, just think it's fun, and was teased by Zhang Jingchu Happy, she hurriedly clapped her hands and danced innocently with a smile, watching him smile, Zhang Jingchu also laughed.

"Master, if you don't put down the gun, our lives are in your hands!"

"That's right! Daddy, hurry up and admit your mistake to Commander Zhang!" His daughter hurriedly shouted,

Zhang Jingchu hugged the child on his lap, felt it was interesting, squeezed his fat face, and said, "Tell grandpa, is the candy uncle gave you delicious?"

He nodded and turned his head to Chen Dafu, smiled innocently and said two words inarticulately: "Delicious!" Then he smiled sweetly, Zhang Jingchu held him in his arms and coaxed him.

"Zhang Jingchu, what did you feed him?" Chen Dafu finally lowered the gun in his hand weakly after seeing his grandson's smiling face.

"I didn't eat anything, it was just sugar,"

"Take the child down," Zhang Jingchu hugged the child to someone beside him, and before leaving, the child stuck out his tongue, that little appearance was really amusing.

"Boss Chen, sit down and talk to me!" Seeing that Chen Dafu sat down, the whole family put their hearts in their throats, and felt a lot more at ease.

"Boss Chen won't be so serious about love and righteousness! For Master Qiao, he would risk the lives of the whole family. It's still the same sentence as long as Boss Chen cooperates to bring down Master Qiao. Everything is negotiable,"

"Yes," I didn't expect him to agree so readily,

"Since Boss Chen has agreed, there is one more thing for you to do. Hand over Zuician Restaurant, and I will run it in the future."

"It's impossible. Zuitian Restaurant is more important than my life. It's impossible for me to hand over Zuitian Restaurant!" It must be difficult to get him to spit out the drunken restaurant,

"Then I'm going to see whether life is more important than this restaurant today!" Zhang Jingchu hooked his fingers, and the people at the side pushed Chen Dafu's daughter over to the edge of the table,

"What are you going to do? Don't let me go!" She struggled in every possible way, but she was a woman, and she couldn't match the strength of a man.Still being pushed to the table.

Zhang Jingchu put his hands on the edge of the table, tapped the edge of the table with his fingers, and said, "I'm tired of eating meat, why don't you try another flavor!"

The water in the hot pot was boiling with white gas, and the meat slices floated up and cooked after a while, which shows the heat.The people on the side immediately pressed Chen Dafu's daughter's shoulder and dominated her arm.Another person put his head into the boiling hot pot,

"No, dad, hurry up and save me!" She was finally getting scared now, pressing his head as if she was going to break her neck, she struggled with all the strength of breastfeeding, her feet were on the ground hard, It slipped, but her strength was too small.The whole face was caught off guard and was about to be pressed into the bubbling hot water. She was so frightened that she forgot to scream, her eyes widened, and the tip of her nose was only a hair away from the boiling hot water. , what would it be like if this face was pressed down!The whole face will be cooked!Such a beautiful girl was treated like this.

"Master, you can give the restaurant to Commander Zhang! If the restaurant is gone, it will be gone, but we only have one daughter!" The lady was so anxious that she was going crazy, she couldn't help but wanted to run forward, but There was someone holding a gun beside her, and restrained her again. She could only watch helplessly but there was nothing she could do. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, are you just watching our daughter die in front of you like this!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said: "Shabu-shabu is not tasty, take off the pot, isn't there charcoal under it, let's grill it!"

"Father, save me! Am I not as good as this dilapidated restaurant!"

There is a charcoal fire under the table, just take off the pot, the red charcoal fire burned his face, Zhang Jingchu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands gracefully and calmly, so serious, but the woman beside him was crying, her face was burned It was red, and the tears couldn't stop flowing. The tears slipped down the tip of the nose and fell into the red charcoal fire. There was a slap, and white smoke immediately evaporated.

"I'll give you the Zuitian Restaurant right away, let us go!" Chen Dafu said with his eyes closed and his teeth clenched in pain. Although the Zuitian Restaurant is important, he has to trade his family's life for it!

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "It's good if you can agree, sign the contract!"

After Chen Dafu signed the contract, Zhang Jingchu got it in his hand before motioning to let him go.

Chapter: ☆, Chapter 58

Zhang Jingchu took the contract and bowed his head and said casually: "Boss Chen, you should be glad that you still have some use value and are worthy of my cooperation. Otherwise, after midnight last night, there would be no Chen family in Qingping Town anymore."

Zhang Jingchu ordered people to keep an eye on Chen Dafu's family every day, so he knew every move in his mansion very clearly. Of course, he could kill everyone in the entire Chen family without making a sound.

Chen Dafu stared at Zhang Jingchu without blinking, his brows were frowned and he said nothing.He believes that Zhang Jingchu must have the strength to kill them all. Even if he doesn't have this kind of means, he can charge them with a crime and execute their family in a big way. Now he just wants to find himself to cooperate , and his own handle is also in his hands.

"You really have to be more careful in the future! Otherwise, if you don't even know how you died, you will be too useless," Zhang Jingchu smiled and kindly reminded, that way is simply too arrogant. The arrogance in his eyes means telling others that I am Zhang Jingchu Anyone who wants to be punished can be punished, and the family's property can be confiscated if they want to be confiscated. Don't make any sense, there is no reason at all.

"I understand what Commander Zhang means. I will definitely obey your orders in the future. Then we are guilty of selling arms without permission?" Chen Dafu asked Zhang Jingchu's words with a low eyebrow. He really saw the commander's methods today.Commander Zhang's name was not in vain, and the young man in front of him was only as old as his own son, but with such a domineering aura, he felt a lack of confidence in front of him, and he felt a little apprehensive.

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero. Of course, Boss Chen is happy to be on my side, and there is no crime. Boss Chen, take your family and go home quickly! They are all terrified!"

"The Commander Zhang, I will resign." Chen Dafu got up and helped his daughter who was paralyzed on the ground and frightened his daughter, then called his wife and daughter-in-law who were kneeling on the ground to leave with the child in their arms.Before leaving, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jingchu suddenly tilted his head and smiled at him, the smile was so harmless, but this smile frightened Chen Dafu, he felt uncomfortable after seeing Zhang Jingchu's weird smile , and left quickly.

"Is this restaurant mine from now on?" Zhang Jingchu picked up the handkerchief on the table, wiped his hands, then threw it aside, and stood up.Look around at the people in the house. "What happened today can't be spread! Just pretend it never happened and keep silent."

"Yes!" There was a unison.Zhang Jingchu walked away with strides.

But Zuitian Restaurant was still closed, Zhang Jingchu told everyone to go back, and he was walking on the street by himself, his military uniform stood out in the crowd, when suddenly someone called his name behind him, Zhang Jingchu replied impatiently He turned his head and glanced up and down at this man, who was wearing a black suit and a black top hat, and looked at himself with a smile, looking gentle.

"What do you want me to do?"

The man stepped forward and said with a smile, "Aren't you wondering why I know your name?"

"What's so strange about that! Everyone in this town knows my name,"

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite famous! I called you just to help you out,"

"Help me? I don't need it." Directly refusing to give the man a chance to speak, Zhang Jingchu left without looking back.

"Zhang Jingchu, you will come to me in person sooner or later." The man looked at Zhang Jingchu's back and made a smile.

Zhang Jingchu walked and looked at the hawkers on the side of the road, and unconsciously remembered that he and Su Jinnian always walked on this street together in the past. The mask stand in front was where he bought masks for Su Jinnian. He remembered that at that time he Wearing a mask with Su Jinnian, he carried Su Jinnian all the way to the gate of Su's house!

The whole street has their memories, they always come to this street to hang out, Zhang Jingchu is still there, and Su Jinnian is no longer around, the change is a bit big.He always refused to accept his death, so he didn't let others mention that Su Jinnian was dead, and even pushed back the funeral procession. He always believed that he was still alive, so he asked people to dig a burrow. Check it out.But he didn't want people to dig the burrow, so he was extremely contradictory.He was afraid that finding Su Jinnian's body would ruin his last hope and thoughts.

When I walked to the bridge, I suddenly remembered that there used to be a hexagram booth here!It's gone now, did he kill the second brother because he was the lone star of Tiansha?Zhang Jingchu has never been lucky since he was born.It's been bad luck.

His mother passed away shortly after he was born, leaving him alone in the Zhang family's mansion. Later, he was kicked out of the Zhang family's gate and lived on the streets completely.After nearly half a year of hard life with some beggars, by chance, he entered the theater and learned to sing. Fortunately, he was born with a pair of good eyes that could talk, and he also practiced a good voice. The imperial concubine became famous when she was drunk, and became the pillar of the theater.But I am not reconciled to singing for the rest of my life.

He went to the military camp to serve as a soldier, suffered a lot, and climbed up desperately to get to the position of today's Commander Zhang.It is estimated that the storyteller in the teahouse could not finish his story in three days and three nights!I thought that meeting my second brother was the luckiest thing in my life, but I didn't expect that God would have trouble with me.Just let him go away from himself.It's not fair, what did he do wrong?Why did he have to encounter these?Is it the lone star of Tiansha?Rather than being a good person all the time and getting nothing, it would be better to be like this, on the contrary, it will make me feel better.

Zhang Jingchu strolled back to the Commander's Mansion, and suddenly heard the sound of the piano, but he didn't know where it came from.Then he asked Xiaorui beside him: "Have you heard the sound of the piano?"

When Xiaorui heard Zhang Jingchu asking, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, then scratched her head and said, "Commander, I didn't hear the sound of the zither! Did you hear it wrong! Why is there the sound of the zither in our commander's mansion!"

But Zhang Jingchu clearly heard it, and he heard it very clearly. The melodious sound of the piano is very attractive, it is impossible to hear it wrong! "You are listening carefully!"

"Commander, the house is so quiet, let alone the sound of the piano, even if there is a little sound, I can hear it. There is really no sound of the piano."

"Maybe I really heard it wrong! I may have been too tired in the past few days and didn't have a good rest." Zhang Jingchu looked at Xiaorui, turned around and went back upstairs.

He sat at the desk and took a book from the bookcase behind him. The huge bookcase behind him served as the front wall, and it was filled with all kinds of books from ancient times to the present. It can be seen that the owner of the room is a man of knowledge and talent. .
