"The first person sitting in front of the table, with gray temples, an old man over fifty years old smiled and waved to Zhang Xiaolong. He was wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, still in ancient style, old and solemn, charitable, with a pair of sharp eyes.
Extremely
Majesty, Zhang Xiaolong walked over with a smile. He guessed that this should be Tang Zhen, a big brother in the military, with the rank of major general. Next to Tang Zhen was an old man of half a century who also had official authority. He should be Qiu Zhengqing, a big man in the political world.
"Landlord, how is Mr. Zhang doing lately?" Qiu Zhengqing asked, looking at Zhang Xiaolong who was approaching. Immediately, the other big guys sitting there cast friendly glances at him and showed their kindness to him. But those who didn't know why
The jewelry merchants also stared at Zhang Xiaolong with twinkling eyes. They didn't know what kind of background this young man had.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at everyone, showing a harmless look, and said flatteringly: "Seniors, the landlord's tutor, Mr. Zhang as you call him, has passed away. Before he died, he asked me to pay tribute to you all.
Senior, tell me something."
"What, Mr. Zhang passed away? Landlord, why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"Landlord, you can't fool us. Mr. Zhang is an immortal man. He should become an immortal. How can he die?"
"Landlord, Mr. Zhang, what message did he ask you to pass on to us? When did you say it? Why did you say it now..."
The eight big bosses in the hall were noisy. They all asked Zhang Xiaolong about Zhang Tiansheng. This old immortal who can enlighten the world is so memorable. No one does not miss him, and no one dares to be disrespectful. When talking about it,
When they got up, they all forgot about their business. They completely ignored their status and stared at Zhang Xiaolong with their fiery eyes. Even the curiosity of the jewelry merchants was aroused.
"My true heart is universal, strive for peace of mind, follow my true heart, and I will be rich and powerful!" Zhang Xiaolong raised his head and looked out the window and murmured: "The old man said that whoever violates his true heart will be punished by God!"
"What!"
"ah!"
"True heart!"
Hearing this, Chen Si, Sak, Zou Yue, Yang Yihui and others all made soft noises. They looked at each other, and one or two of them turned pale, as if they heard some spell at this moment and were directly broken.
With their true intentions, those in the business world
The same goes for the bosses and jewelry merchants, especially Lu Guxin, whose face instantly turned extremely pale. He coveted Mu Cui and was a sworn brother to Jiang Xingde. Everyone knew that Zhang Xiaolong's words seemed to be specifically aimed at him, making him feel like he was struck by lightning.
"Yes! This is Mr. Zhang's advice to understand the essence of life. He told us to follow our heart when doing things and avoid doing things that are harmful to nature." Tang Zhen murmured, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang was still there before he died.
He is concerned about us people, and whoever disobeys his old man’s instructions will be punished by God!”
Qiu Zhengqing nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, think back to four years ago, Huang Meng did not listen to the advice and just threw the six-year-old son of his enemy Cao Guan to death with his bare hands. As a result, a lightning bolt struck on the spot and hit his platinum
On the watch, he almost entered the Yama Palace, and even now, there is a scar on his left hand, which is the mark left by the thunder."
Qiu Zhengqing and Tang Zhen sang in harmony, and their words were clear and logical. Suddenly, the four gangsters' faces turned cold. Most of what they did was illegal profit-making. How could everything go as planned? They did not dare to refute Zhang Tiansheng's legacy.
But these two people were clearly slapping them in the face.
Sack was dissatisfied at that time and said: "Secretary Qiu, what you said is too outrageous. In order to avenge his father's murder, Huang Meng was so heartbroken that he even didn't spare the child. But he was not struck by lightning, but by his own hand."
The watch on it was conducting electricity, and it was accidentally hit by a small lightning bolt."
"This is a punishment from God!" Qiu Zhengqing said solemnly, "So many people are fine even if they wear watches, but Huang Meng was struck by lightning. This is not God's will. Even Huang Meng himself believes in fate. Is it possible for you, Sack?
If you can go against the will of God and change your destiny, I just want to say that going against Mr. Zhang’s legacy is going against the laws of nature.”
"Mr. Zhang once said that everything has a cause and effect. To put it bluntly, I feel that what we do and government departments complement each other. They all lead to the same path. There is no essential difference. It's just that their paths are different. The so-called benefiting the people and benefiting the people
, do no harm
How can the interests of some people be successful? There are so many corrupt officials and who can tell the truth from the false? If our existence is wrong, why did Mr. Zhang need to enlighten us back then? How could the Spring City Pinlan Association be established in his hometown?
"Sark retorted in public.
"Okay, these matters will be discussed at the Pinlan meeting." Tang Zhen waved his hand to stop the two tit-for-tat confrontations, and said: "Today, Jiang Lan invited everyone to come to seek justice. I asked the landlord to come by name, not to ask for justice.
Let him see you talking nonsense. As elders, be more reserved. Now the landlord is also one of the witnesses and has the right to express his own opinion. Landlord, don't stand, sit down and listen."
"Landlord, sit next to me!" Jiang Lan pointed to the chair next to her and looked at Zhang Xiaolong with a smile.
Zhang Xiaolong successfully deceived the big guys from all walks of life, changed the topic, and gradually calmed down. He didn't dare to say anything more, and he didn't understand why Jiang Lan asked him to sit next to her, so he nodded and sat down.
At this time, the bosses from all walks of life were very serious, especially Lu Guxin, who was sitting directly opposite Jiang Lan. His face was as pale as a disease, and the mother emerald was lost in his hands. Now the bosses from all walks of life and Jiang Lan came to him at the same time, and he even wanted to die.
.
"Dear uncles and seniors, A-Lan invites you all here today just to talk about the mother-in-law Jade."
Everyone in the seat looked at Jiang Lan, who saw her sitting there dignifiedly, and said slowly, "I believe all of you seniors know the background of the Mother-in-Law Jadeite. It was a pair of treasures given to the Empress Dowager Cixi by Emperor Guangxu during the Qing Dynasty.
Later it was revealed that the folk acquired it from their ancestors and passed it down as heirlooms. My Jiang family
Five generations have been in the jade business, and my great-grandfather regarded the jadeite as his life. In his later years, he left a legacy, asking future generations of the Jiang family to protect and cherish the jadeite and pass it on from generation to generation. He also said that if
When our Jiang family declines, we will sell the mother-in-law jade or donate it to the country. Originally, "
Speaking of this, Jiang Lan's eyes turned red and she looked a little sad, "Dad originally lost money in business this time, so he had no choice but to take out Mu Cui as a mortgage. Everything he did was for me and for the entire Jiang family. Dad
Before going out, he told me that after completing this business, he would donate Mu Cui, because he knew that when Mu Cui showed up, many people would fight for it, but he didn't expect that all this would be confirmed.
Dad’s prophecy met with an unexpected incident.”
"Jiang Lan, don't worry. Tianwang Huihui, the police will definitely find out the person who murdered your father. I have already said hello, and they will definitely give you an explanation then. There is no resurrection after death, so you should take more care.
Myself." Tang Zhen sat next to her and comforted her softly.
Everyone else listened silently. Zhang Xiaolong could feel the pain in Jiang Lan's heart, but he didn't know what to say. Apart from keeping silent, he inadvertently looked at Wang Shile, and Wang Shile happened to look at him. Zhang Xiaolong was afraid of arousing the enemy, so he
His sharp gaze swept across everyone again and looked at Lu Guxin, who lowered his head and remained silent.
Jiang Lan sniffed, straightened her chest and took a deep breath. She raised her head and said, "I don't feel sorry for my father. He has diabetes and was not cured even when he went to the United States. He has been taking herbal medicine all year round and he doesn't have long to live."
He wanted to finish the business and return home, and live the rest of his life peacefully, but he didn't expect that he would be assassinated in the end... Uncle Xin, was it really you who killed dad? Dad regards you as his own.
Treat him like a brother, you know clearly that time is running out, why do you want to harm him?"
"ah!"
Lu Guxin was startled. He stood up and raised his head suddenly, almost falling to the ground. He shouted repeatedly: "Xiaolan, Uncle Xin is wronged. Although Uncle Xin loves money, he has never wanted to harm Brother De. Your father is really not me."
Damn it, Xiaolan, my new uncle has watched you grow up and treated you like his own son, and Brother De is so kind to me, no matter how unkind I am, I can't frame my sworn brother!"
"Dad lost money in business. He wanted to use Mu Cui as a mortgage in exchange for money to repay his capital. Dad had never thought of selling Mu Cui. Even if there was no money, Dad would not sell the ancestral things.
." Jiang Lan ignored Lu Guxin and continued, "Dad trusted you, Uncle Xin, and mortgaged the Mu Cui to you. But now that the three-month period has not yet expired, you spread the news about the Mu Cui and wanted a high price.
Sell it. If dad were still alive, he would definitely not agree to your doing this. Uncle Xin, you have disappointed my dad so much."
"Xiao Lan, what can Uncle Xin say before you are willing to believe it!" Lu Guxin said bitterly, "I tried to persuade Brother De when he went to the border, but he didn't listen. People were killed and money was robbed. You
I can’t afford so much money, so what do you think the new uncle is doing with the troublesome stone? It would have been better if I had sold it earlier, but now... I almost lost my life last night!"
"Xinshu, I can't afford so much money to redeem Mu Cui, but you never came to me or asked for my opinion from the beginning to the end. You should have expected this result if you brought Mu Cui to the public." Jiang
Lan was not moved by the other party's expression at all. She took out a piece of paper and a check from her bag, "New book, today is the last day of the three-month period. This is the mortgage certificate my father and you wrote.
And this is a cash check for five million. Take a look at it. As long as Uncle Xin returns Mu Cui to me, no one will care about Xiaolan's future affairs."
Jiang Lan handed the mortgage certificate and the five million cash check to Zhang Xiaolong, who was concentrating on the problem. Zhang Xiaolong took it and took a look. He didn't know why Jiang Lan handed it to him first. At this time, Tang Zhen started from him again.
He took it in his hand, read it and handed it to Qiu Zhengqing...
Passing them over one by one, the two pieces of paper were passed to the newbie Lu Gu on the opposite side.
