Chapter 64 The Humble Commander [Please read on! ]

Last night, inside the Jinyu Tower.

Zou Fang once had a private exchange with the leader of the Tiger Hall of the Dragon Tooth Gang.

Hong Xi, who looked defiant, sat aside and sneered, "Isn't Commander Zou going to draw a clear line with our Longya Gang? What do you want to do by asking me to meet again?"

"The Ministry of Industry is under investigation, and the Dragon Fang Gang is too deeply involved. They must also be in the sight of the Ministry of Justice." Zou Fang said: "I, the Imperial Guard, have no choice but to stay away from you for the time being. I hope that Master Hong will not hold a grudge against you."

"Nothing." Hong Xi spread his hands and said, "That's how it is when you're out there. If anything happens to the Imperial Guards, we'll definitely stay away from them immediately. You all understand."

"I understand." Zou Fang nodded, and then said: "This time I asked you to meet because I really want your help with something."

His tone of voice was extremely heavy, and one could tell that he was suppressing some anger.

"My son disappeared again yesterday. He was fished out by a fisherman from the lower reaches of the Wangyue River this morning. His injuries were even worse than last time. His cultivation was completely wasted, and his Qi and blood were exhausted. I spent a lot of money to invite the imperial physician to come, but I still don't know if he can be saved. Even if he can be saved, he will be a disabled person."

"Something happened to Zou Huainan?" Hong Xi frowned and asked, "This happened this morning, why do I seem to have heard about it before?"

Zou Fang said: "What you heard should be the last time."

"Heh." Hong Xi couldn't help but sneered, but he immediately restrained himself and said, "Did he provoke any enemies? Throwing him into the river after beating him up, it sounds like something we gangsters do."

"I can't find out who did it, but I can find out that every time he went out, it was to avenge someone." Zou Fang said slowly, "That person was a guard stationed at Fukangfang. Every time Zou Huainan wanted to cause trouble for him, he would end up in a miserable situation. The first time was a coincidence, but the second time... I no longer think it's a coincidence. Maybe that guard is secretly protected by some force."

"Cong Wei, that's not one of your people..." Hong Xi said frivolously. He was suddenly startled as if he remembered something and asked, "What did you say the name of that Cong Wei was?"

"Liang Yue." Zou Fang replied.

"Haha." Hong Xi's expression subtly retreated a little. "General Zou is in charge of the Imperial Guard. Does he need help to punish a guard?"

"I can use the power in my hands to cause him some trouble, but it's hard to kill him!" Zou Fang finally let out some of his anger. "Not only do I want him to die, I also want him to suffer the same torture as my son, and then die. It's not convenient for my subordinates to do this kind of thing."

"So you want us to help you?" Hong Xi shook his head. "I'm sorry, Commander Zou, I can't help you with this."

Zou Fang said: "I have investigated. My son had a grudge against him because he wanted to help your Longya Gang. Now he has been treated like this. Even if he is alive, he would rather die than live. You should help me."

"If it's someone else, there will be no problem. But if it's this person, Commander Zou, I can show you a way." Hong Xi leaned forward and said, "Have a second child while you are still young."

Zou Fang's face darkened, wondering why the other party suddenly said such nonsense.

"Don't keep your eldest son. He's useless and has a grudge against that Congwei." Hong Xi said, "We had a fight in Fukangfang before. Our gang leader personally hosted a banquet and almost made Lao Bai and I cut off our fingers to make amends, just to get that Congwei to forgive us."

Zou Fang's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he was greatly surprised. "What kind of background does this Cong Wei have that makes you, the Dragon Tooth Gang, so afraid of him?"

Hong Xi lowered his voice and said, "Our gang leader said that his brother is Liang Fuguo's illegitimate son. It seems that his brother... can't escape either!"

"What?" Zou Fang was incredulous: "Is this really true?"

"It's absolutely true." Hong Xi said, "Do you think we haven't thought about dealing with him? We attacked him once before, but he was fine the next day and no one knew what happened."

"A few days ago, our gang leader invited his brother to come to the mansion to talk to Yuling. He directly called in people from the Zhuxie Yamen and the Donghai Shenjiang Mansion to besiege him! He almost demolished the Hong Mansion!"

"These two groups don't seem to be Liang Fuguo's subordinates, but the leader, the daughter of the East Sea God General, is the head of the Criminal Department. And the Zhuxie Yamen was personally invited down from Yujing Peak by Liang Fuguo. It is like a knife in the hands of the left prime minister! These two forces are inextricably linked to him."

"Now think about your son's situation. After dealing with him several times, he is still alive. Don't you feel lucky?"

Hong Xi's analysis made Zou Fang terrified.

No wonder every time his son wanted to deal with him, no matter how careful his plan was, he would be strangely thrown into the river to feed the fish. It turned out that there was such a force. There must be someone protecting him secretly!

That Congwei’s background is so terrifying.

This kid must not be provoked!

……

So at this moment, when Liang Yue stood in front of him, he felt only panic in his heart.

It was not fear of this young man, but fear of Liang Fuguo!
If he didn't know about this, he would still want to avenge his son. Now that this happened, he just hoped that his son would not implicate him.

What Zou Huainan?

Actually, I'm not very familiar with it.

The most important thing is not to damage the deep friendship between our commander-in-chief and his guards, who have never met each other, because of an unrelated biological son.

This was his mental journey, but Liang Yue was not clear about it. When he heard that Zou Fang wanted to apologize to him, his first reaction was that the other party was being sarcastic.

Is this blaming me for not going to apologize in person before?
It doesn't even look like it.

Liang Yue scratched his head. It seemed that apologies were a trend in Shendu City recently. The Longya Gang also did the same thing a few days ago. It was really confusing.

But he still had to say something polite, so he replied: "Commander Zou, what do you mean? Why do you need to apologize?"

Zou Fang smiled bitterly, "I understand. Some things cannot be said openly. Before, it was Huainan... Zou Huainan was ignorant. Now he has received the punishment he deserves. I hope you, Mr. Liang, don't bother with him."

"Hehe." Liang Yue smiled awkwardly, "What punishment... I don't quite understand." He really didn't understand.

But when Zou Fang heard this, he immediately understood that the other party was trying to clear his identity. Naturally, such a thing as shady dealings could not be made public.

"Right, right." Zou Fang nodded repeatedly. "Zou Huainan's matter naturally has nothing to do with you. It must have been done by someone else. Mr. Liang may not know that he is now a useless person, living a life worse than death... Please forgive him."

Zou Huainan?

Although Liang Yue didn't understand what he meant, it sounded like good news, so he nodded and said, "Our conflict wasn't that big back then. I was just a small guard... I just got promoted today. I hope Mr. Zou doesn't hold a grudge against me. Commander, you don't have to be like this."

After hearing this, Zou Fang pondered for a moment and immediately realized that the other party was pointing at him.

So he immediately replied: "Mr. Liang has made many contributions, and it is indeed a waste of your talent to be a regular guard. Give me half a year, and I will arrange for you to become a minor guard officer."

"Huh?" Liang Yue was confused.

What is this for?
Why does the commander-in-chief feel so... servile here?

The more someone bullies others by taking advantage of his power, the more he bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Zou Huainan's personality can be said to have been perfectly inherited from his father.

Zou Fang was closer to the court than the Longya Gang, and he knew more about how terrifying Liang Fuguo was, so he was even more afraid.

"Commander Zou, why are you so polite today?" Liang Yue always felt as if something had happened.

How could this commander-in-chief with such a humble attitude give birth to a son as arrogant as Zou Huainan?

Zou Fang blinked and immediately realized that the other party was testing whether he had received any information.

It is naturally impossible to explain something like an illegitimate child, and it is best not to reveal that you know about it. Otherwise, if the secret is in your hands, who knows if Lord Zuo Xiang will feel uneasy.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "Nothing. I read your resume and you have a bright future. I have always admired young talents like you."

"Appreciate?" Liang Yue felt puzzled.

Suddenly, another shout came from the other side: "Commander Zou! Xiao Liang!"

It turned out that Hu Tiehan saw Liang Yue being called away and was worried that Zou Fang would do something bad to him, so he came here specially.

"Tiehan, what's wrong?" Zou Fang looked at him.

"Oh, the assessment is over and we were just about to go back, so we came out to look for Xiao Liang." Hu Tiehan replied.

"Haha." Zou Fang laughed: "Liang Duwei is a young and talented man. He is really the pillar of our Yu Duwei in the future. It is your blessing to have him under your command. You must take good care of him."

After that, he didn't say anything else and left with a smile.

After Zou was released, Hu Tiehan asked, "What did Commander Zou say to you?"

Zou Fang has always been narrow-minded and vindictive. Hu Tiehan has been under his command for many years and knows his temperament well, so he is worried about Liang Yue.

But Liang Yue's expression was a little dull, and he said: "If I say that he wants to promote me to be a junior guard officer, will you believe it, Brother Hu?"

……

On the way back to the Fukangfang station, the few of them still couldn't figure out why Zou Fang suddenly showed goodwill.

"Is it possible that Commander Zou is actually an upright person and has always been dissatisfied with his son's actions?" Chen Ju guessed.

After he said this, the three kids looked at each other and shook their heads, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"It would be strange if Zou Huainan's father was a good man considering his behavior. Besides, it's not like you didn't pay to be a regular guard." Liang Yue said with a smile.

Pang Chun scratched his head: "Is it possible that he wants to have a second child to accumulate merit for himself?"

"Haha, it's not impossible." Chen Ju laughed.

The three of them were in a good mood as they were successfully converted to regular employees, and Lao Hu was also very happy for them.

But as soon as he returned to the station, someone hurried over to him to report a case, and Lao Hu's face immediately fell.

He shouted with a stern face: "There is an important case in South City, everyone gather and follow me to the scene."

"What's wrong?" several people asked.

"There is another murder in Fukangfang." Hu Tiehan said, "The deceased is the president of Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Xingkai."

　Good morning.

I can’t update so much during the period of publishing a new book. I often write chapters of 3,000 words now. Five or six thousand words a day is probably the maximum. I really can’t do any more.

After it's on the shelves! There will definitely be more updates!
