After Liu Qizhen exchanged a few words with Zhou Wen, he immediately waved to Liu Ruoshui and signaled him to leave. He smiled and welcomed Zhou Wen into the room to talk in detail.
Zhou Wen also hurriedly helped Liu Qizhen, and the two of them entered the house politely and humbly, acting like uncles and nephews.
…
Lao Zhang's name is Zhang Yongfu. He is from Taigu, Shanxi. He comes from a middle-class family and has attended private schools for several years. However, he was relatively powerful in martial arts when he was young. He also learned a few practical boxing techniques from somewhere, and he has been eager to fight since then.
He didn't want to study, so he wandered around the city with a bunch of green men all day long, and gradually became somewhat famous in Taigu City.
Later, when the old man of the Kong family was still alive, in view of the chaos in the late Qing Dynasty, the Kong family recruited servants from the nursing home in Taigu County as a precaution.
You must know that although the Kong family at that time was not as prominent as it is now, they were the direct descendants of Saint Kong, and their reputation was naturally very important. Most people would have no way to join them even if they wanted to. Now that the Kong family wants to recruit a servant to protect the courtyard, that is
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and many people want to send their children in, even if they break their brains.
Zhang Yongfu had a martial arts reputation, and had lived in Shanxi for generations, so his family background was considered innocent. Moreover, his family sent heavy gifts to the county magistrate, who was a distant relative of the Zhang family for several generations.
After the recommendation of the county magistrate, Zhang Yongfu naturally became the nurse of the Confucius family.
It should be said that although Zhang Yongfu is young, he is quite experienced at the bottom of society and in the world. He has developed some eye skills. In addition, he has attended a private school and can read and count. He quickly became a nurse in the Confucius family.
stand out from the crowd.
When Mr. Kong Da and his cousin were in danger in the church, he was the first to lead the people to find Mr. Kong Da, who was in danger. He fought desperately with the Boxers who were chasing him, and finally protected Mr. Kong Da, the eldest son, from returning safely.
, since then he has been favored by Mr. Kong, and it didn’t take long before he became the leader of the Kong Family Nursing Home.
Since then, Zhang Yongfu has been completely tied to the Kong family, first with Mr. Kong, and later with Mr. Kong Da.
From Shanxi to Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Nanjing, Zhang Yongfu was loyal to the Confucius family and Mr. Kong Da, and worked hard without complaint. Because of his boldness, carefulness, and ruthless methods, he did a lot of unflattering things for the Confucius family in private, and he was deeply loved.
Confucius trust.
As he grows older and the Kong family's wealth grows, Zhang Yongfu no longer needs to do many things personally. His role has risen from hands-on to brainstorming and directing, and he has become the general manager of the Kong family's specialized external affairs. In both black and white,
They have become famous and are respectfully called "Master Zhang" wherever they go.
Zhang Yongfu was solely responsible for the Kong family's actions in Taiyuan this time.
Before coming to Taiyuan, Mr. Kong Da strictly ordered Kong Linglin and Miss Kong Er to listen to Zhang Yongfu's plans and act, which shows how much he relies on his people.
It's a pity that Zhang Yongfu, who never failed in doing this kind of things before, suffered a big setback in Taiyuan this time.
He is considered an old man of the Kong family. He has witnessed with his own eyes how the Kong family grew from a large family that was about to decline, to prosperity step by step under the hands of Mr. Kong Da, and finally stood at the top of the top wealthy families in the Republic of China and became the most powerful family in the country.
Power, the most influential family.
In his eyes, except for the principal, the Kong family has no rivals in the whole country.
There is nothing the Kong family wants that cannot be obtained, even if they sometimes adopt some shady means, but no one dares to pursue it afterwards, and there are even countless powerful people who are busy helping to cover it up, just to win Kong Da
Sir’s appreciation and favor.
In addition, he and the Kong family also have some roots in Shanxi. Not to mention Taigu County, which is run by the Kong family like Tietong, there are also many small forces in Taiyuan City who want to take advantage of this, such as which provincial party
The new director of the department.
That is because the Kong family has some roots in Shanxi, so Mr. Kong Da wanted to seize Zhou Wen's property.
If it were the Song family and the Liu family, even if they had this intention, they were not familiar with Shanxi. Even if they got Zhou Wen's properties on the surface, they might not be able to swallow them all for a while, and they might even choke.
With.
However, this time the Kong family's plan failed.
This Lao Zhang is also a veteran at manipulating conspiracies. Although his plan this time was not seamless, it was still interlocking.
He used the third uncle of the Liu family to take Liu Ruolan away, leaving the mercenary group leaderless in the backyard, and assassinated old Uncle Wu to cause chaos. The real purpose was to kidnap Li Qiaoer, the inventor of the purple-green and red medicine.
Moreover, after the operation started, he took Kong Linglin and a group of entourage to visit Jinci Temple, clearing the suspicions of several of them.
He thought he had made such a thorough arrangement, but it failed because the subordinate named Zhou had too many capable people.
When he and Mr. Kong Da thought about it, since Zhou went to the front line to fight against the Japanese, he must have used all his elites without sparing any effort. The people at home were just the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Who would have thought that one of the five killer gangsters who were well-known in the world would be killed on the spot by a few soldiers who he thought were just ordinary soldiers standing guard.
What's even more strange is that the other four went to deal with two weak women who had no power to restrain a chicken, and one of them was even a little girl who was not yet underage. They were all killed on the spot without any resistance.
Although he didn't know the specific process, the more he didn't know, the more terrifying it would be.
Because you don’t know, you just go back and guess, or even just think blindly, which will open up your mind and give full play to your imagination. It is inevitable that you will think of some weird things. Isn’t that scary?
Although Mr. Kong Da did not blame him too much after they returned in vain, Zhang Yongfu could tell from the fleeting look of disappointment in the corner of the Kong family head's eyes that this Mr. Da was probably dissatisfied with him.
is extremely dissatisfied.
What shocked him even more was that the man surnamed Zhou had returned safely from the front line of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, and had come to Nanjing in such a short period of time. It was said that he was picked up by the principal. Only then did he
I know the problem is big.
Mr. Kong Da, who was usually very moody and angry, would now get very angry if his servants made even the slightest mistake, and his usual amiable smile was rarely seen. Behind his expensive gold-rimmed glasses imported from England, he sometimes appeared
There will be a hint of worry inadvertently.
However, Zhang Yongfu was still in shock, and then Mr. Kong Da actually ordered him to lead several of his most loyal bodyguards overnight to send Master Kong Linglin to Shanghai, and then bought the nearest ferry ticket for him to fly across the ocean to rectify the trouble abroad.
.
Zhang Yongfu's whole head was buzzing after hearing this.
What's going on here?
In the Republic of China, the Kong family stood at the top of the wealthy family. Is the sky about to fall?
