Xie Xingye raised his head and looked at the ancestral hall in front of him, feeling a sense of awe in his heart. The ancestral hall is a three-story antique building with a height of 18.88 meters. Supported by thick and complicated brackets, the extremely exaggerated eaves reach into the sky. The entire building
The building is decorated with carved beams and painted beams, and the flying pavilions are full of luxury and majesty. Standing in front of this breathtaking majestic building, Xie Xingye's soul seemed to be sucked into it.
After being in a daze in front of the ancestral hall for a while, Xie Xingye quickly recovered his mind and walked around the ancestral hall. There were roads extending backwards on both sides of the ancestral hall. After walking a few dozen steps along the road, he saw an ancient wooden structure.
Gatehouse, it is said that this gatehouse has a history of three hundred years. Inside this gatehouse is the mysterious Xie Family Courtyard.
Since Xie Xingye had contacted the inside in advance, after he knocked gently, the courtyard door creaked open. A woman in her 30s poked her head out. After she saw clearly that it was Xie Xingye, she quickly opened the door for him.
, and said softly:
"Hello, Uncle Ye."
"Oh, it's Xiaoling, who is in there today?"
"Clan leader, the second boss and Uncle Kuan are here, please go in."
The Xie Family Courtyard is a courtyard with three entrances. The first entrance is the hall, where the family discusses matters and receives ordinary guests. The second entrance is the middle hall, where the family discusses important matters and receives distinguished guests. The third entrance is the
The back hall is where the patriarch’s family lives and lives.
There are Eight Immortals tables and Taishi chairs in the hall. There are two ear rooms on the left and right sides of the hall. There are also tables and chairs for guests in the ear rooms, which are places for guests to rest temporarily.
Xie Xingye walked up the steps of the hall on the stone road and saw Xie Hongxiang and Xie Kuan pacing back and forth in the hall, anxiously waiting for Xie Xingye's arrival.
"Second boss, Uncle Kuan." Xie Xingye greeted him politely.
"Oh, Uncle Ye, you are here, please tell me the situation." Xie Hongxiang stepped forward and said.
Xie Xingye sighed and said:
"Well, there are a lot of things that happened today. Jianmu was arrested early in the morning, and then the Gaili Hotel was ransacked. Just now, Geng Yuanliang of the task force set up a Hongmen meeting and took me and several people from the bureau.
The main leaders were called and Wang Chao was arrested on the spot. Then Director Wang was called to call Zhang Feng and he was also arrested."
"Ah, they actually arrested Wang Chao?" Xie Hongxiang asked.
"Yes, it seems that Jin Hui's incident left a flaw." Xie Xingye said.
"It's impossible. We have carefully discussed the plan and there will be no problem." Xie Hongxiang said puzzled.
"The problem may lie with the electrician." Xie Kuan said.
"No, he is also one of our Xie family members. Although the relationship is far away, he will not betray us," Xie Hongxiang said.
"It's possible that the people on the task force happened to know that Xie Laidong was the one responsible for the power outage. As long as they find Xie Laidong, they can find Wang Chao. Xie Laidong has never seen the market, so he will definitely tell the truth." Xie Xingye said.
"This is so careless! Don't use it in the future if you are not one of your own." Xie Kuan said.
"Yes, if we had hired a driver from our family, these things would not have happened." Xie Hongxiang said.
"Well, weren't we afraid of getting involved with our Xie family at that time?" Xie Kuan said.
"Then what should we do now? Should we report to the clan leader first?" Xie Xingye asked.
"Wait a moment, let's sort things out and have countermeasures before alarming the old man," Xie Kuan said.
"Is Wang Chao reliable?" Xie Hongxiang asked.
"Wang Chao is fine. He is our son-in-law. I believe he knows what to say and what not to say. What I am worried about is Zhang Feng. I don't think he can withstand the interrogation of the task force." Xie Xingye said.
"Zhang Feng knows very little. As long as Wang Chao doesn't talk nonsense, the most they can do is find out that Jin Hui was killed," Xie Kuan said.
"You mean to let Wang Chao take over Jin Hui's matter." Xie Xingye said.
"Is there anything else you can do?" Xie Kuan asked.
"But blindly retreating like this is not the answer. Recently we have lost several generals, and the losses are considerable!" Xie Hongxiang said.
"Yes, we have to find a way. If this continues, I may have to go in soon." Xie Xingye said.
"Your position is very important. We have planned for a long time to get your position, so you have to be careful in what you do in the future. What you are protecting is not your reputation and life, but the resources of our Xie family." Xie Kuan said.
"I know Uncle Kuan will be careful." Xie Xingye replied.
The three of them, Xie Hongxiang, discussed in the hall for a long time, but did not come up with a satisfactory solution. Seeing that it was getting late, they could only walk to the middle hall together, where they would meet Xie Hongji, the patriarch of the Xie family.
.
The layout of the middle hall is similar to that of the lobby, except that the Chinese tables and chairs in the hall have been replaced by sofas and coffee tables, so that the guests can sit more comfortably. Xie Hongxiang and the other three stood in the middle hall and did not dare to sit down. They were waiting for Xiaoling
Go to the back hall to ask for the clan leader.
Xie Hongji is about fifty years old. His fair skin and thin face make him look several years younger. The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose make him look like a student. Xie Hongji walked slowly into the middle hall.
Xie Hongxiang and the other three people bowed respectfully to the clan leader and said hello:
"Hello, patriarch."
"Well, let's all sit down and talk. It seems that this task force has brought you some trouble." Xie Hongji's voice was low, and there was a feminine tone in his slow speech.
Xie Kuan gave a detailed report to Xie Hongji on what happened today. Xie Hongxiang and Xie Xingye added a word or two from time to time. Xie Hongji said nothing while listening, his eyes always staring at the coffee table in the middle hall.
The jade in her hand is Ruyi. The expression on her face is as calm as water, and no emotional changes can be seen.
"What are you going to do?" Xie Hongji asked after listening to their report.
"Patriarch, my idea is to arrange the matters related to the task force first, find the responsible person, and let them speak how to control the damage to the minimum range." Xie Xingye replied.
"Well, this work needs to be done. You should think about it carefully. What clues will the task force find and ask people to give them a reasonable step so that they can have the dignity to withdraw their troops?" Xie Hongji said.
"Okay, we'll make arrangements."
"Chief, if we let them continue to investigate, wouldn't our Xie family lose face?" Xie Hongxiang said.
"Patriarch, I think it's okay to just tolerate it for the time being. After all, we have to put the overall situation of our Xie family first. Our Xie family has worked hard for many years under the leadership of the patriarch, and we are in such a good situation today. If we rashly
Action has shaken the foundation of our development, but the gains outweigh the losses," Xie Kuan said.
Xie Hongji stood up and walked to a huge fish tank in the middle hall, picked up a small fish net, picked up a small fish in a small tank next to the big fish tank and put it into the big fish tank. The one in the big fish tank
The more than fifty centimeters long chili red dragon smelled the aroma of the food, turned around and pounced on it, opened its big mouth and swallowed the small fish directly into its mouth.
Xie Hongji smiled with satisfaction, placed the small fish net on the shelf, rubbed his hands together a few times, turned around and said to Xie Hongxiang and the others:
"Although the Liang family has produced several high-ranking officials over the years, they are all out of town and not enthusiastic about family affairs. Since Mr. Liang retired, the Liang family's power in Liang County has further shrunk. As long as we unite sincerely,
If we continue our efforts, we will have the opportunity to completely drive the Liang family's power out of Liang County and realize the dream of our ancestors for thousands of years."
After Xie Hongji said these words, he walked a few steps in the middle hall and continued:
"The task force is not important to us. Let them investigate whatever they want to investigate. Just pay attention to protecting the core group of our Xie family. But the matter of dealing with the Liang family cannot be delayed. Think about it and take advantage of the project
The group is in Liang County, how can we use them to stab the Liang family in the back?"
Xie Hongji walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the cigarette on the table, lit one, took a deep breath, and blew out a thick smoke ring. Then he said:
"That's my opinion. You can discuss how to do it specifically."
"Yes." Xie Hongxiang and the others replied.
"Go find Xie Cheng, bring my words to him, and let him come up with ideas."
"OK."
"Okay, you go out and remember what I said."
Xie Hongxiang and the other three bowed to the clan leader again, and then respectfully withdrew.
It was late at night, but the lights on the office building of the task force were still bright. The interrogation of Wang Chao and Zhang Feng was going on nervously. Compared to Wang Chao's cunning and cunning, the interrogation of Zhang Feng by the task force was much smoother.
"Zhang Feng, do you know why we arrested you today?" Zhu Xingguang asked.
"I know, I know, no, I don't know." Zhang Feng replied in a panic.
"Do you know or don't you know?"
"I wonder what the leader wants to ask?"
"What is your relationship with Wang Chao?"
"Captain Wang is my superior, and the leader has great trust in me."
"What illegal and disciplinary things have you done with him?"
"No, no, I have never done anything illegal or disciplinary." Zhang Feng quickly denied.
"Zhang Feng, let me tell you, Wang Chao is being interrogated next door. If you don't say anything now and Wang Chao does it first, you will have no chance of leniency."
"I, I said, I haven't done anything. I just drank with the King, played cards, had sex with girls and so on."
"We will talk about these things later. Let me ask you, how did Ma Long end up in the detention center?"
Hearing Zhu Xingguang mention Ma Long's name, Zhang Feng's face suddenly changed. His skin that was originally flushed was now extremely white. He lowered his head and took two deep breaths before speaking:
"Yes, I caught him."
"Why did you catch him?"
"He, he caused trouble in the hotel, got into fights, damaged hotel equipment, and injured people."
"Zhang Feng, if you don't tell the truth honestly, you will be guilty of an even greater crime. Now you are just running errands for Wang Chao, and at most you can be considered an insider. Don't let yourself get involved."
"Ah, I said, I said, Wang Chao asked me to do it. I couldn't help it. I couldn't do it. Wang Chao is my immediate boss."
"Just tell me, nothing will happen to you if you tell me everything."
"Okay, okay, I said it, I said it all." Zhang Feng asked Zhu Xingguang for a cigarette and took a few puffs, then started talking about what Wang Chao asked him to do.
