Best Landlord

Zhang Xiaolong called Qi Fanghang in and brought Xu Rongbo out.

Everyone in the Water Conservancy Bureau was astonished. Xu Rongbo was a rare decent person in the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Many people complained for Xu Rongbo in their hearts, thinking that the ones who were arrested should be the director or deputy director.

Behind the scenes, someone has already started to prepare difficult materials, preparing to pull down a few leaders above, in order to prove to everyone that Xu Rongbo is a good person.

Who would have thought that the underworld would drive a military vehicle to invite people at this time.

When Xu Rongbo saw Qi Fanghang, he asked righteously: "Why are you looking for me?"

Qi Fanghang said: "The Xu family has something that needs your cooperation."

When Xu Rongbo heard this, there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes. He had been working hard to leave the Xu family all his life, but how could he cut off the blood relationship.

"Mr. Xu Rongbo, we just want to talk to you about something, and there is no malice." Qi Fanghang has always spoken politely.

Zhang Xiaolong explained at the beginning that he must be polite to Xu Rong's blog. This is a respect for Xu Rongbo, because he is a good person.

The good man Xu Rongbo nodded and said, "It's fine for me to go with you and explain the matter clearly, so you don't have to trouble yourself in the future."

"Please."

Xu Rongbo and Qi Fanghang got into another car, and Zhang Xiaolong tapped the driver on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Wei Dandan beside him, and asked, "Little Pufferfish, I have an appointment, what are you going to tell him!"

"Know it with reason, move it with emotion."

Wei Dandan spoke eloquently, with a gleam of joy on his brows, obviously he got along with each other.

The convoy drove directly to Xu Junbao’s old house. This is an old Russian-style house. It is said that the original owner was a wealthy Russian businessman. When Japan invaded Northeast China, it became the residence of a wealthy Japanese businessman. After liberation, it was used as a prison for prisoners of war. Later, it was changed to the Historical Revolution Museum. In the 80s, it was purchased by Xu Jun at a guaranteed reserve price, and Xu Junbao has been living here.

The originally barren land around has now built many villas, and the people who live here are all famous merchants.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the villa. This mansion, which used to be full of people, is now empty, and there is not even a caretaker left behind.

Someone opened the door, and Qi Fanghang asked Xu Rongbo to get out of the car.

Xu Rongbo looked at the villa in front of him, with a little more sadness in his eyes. He grew up here. When he realized that his childhood happiness was based on the pain of others, he chose to leave this big house and use his own The way to atone for sin, for yourself, but also for your family.

Zhang Xiaolong and others also got out of the car, and he nodded to Mao Junchi.

Mao Junchi took the document and walked to Xu Rongbo, unfolded the document and said, "Mr. Xu, as long as you sign here, this house belongs to you."

Xu Rongbo looked at the document, but he didn't take it. Instead, he looked at Qi Fanghang, Zhang Xiaolong and others. He frowned and said, "You are not policemen, who are you?"

Zhang Xiaolong came over and said, "My name is Zhang Xiaolong, and my friends on the road call me Landlord Zhang."

Xu Rongbo said angrily, "I don't want to have any contact with the underworld. Send me back. I still have a lot of work to do."

"Mr. Xu, there is a more important job for you to do here." Zhang Xiaolong was very polite.

"I don't want to hear it." Xu Rongbo strode out.

Zhang Xiaolong said loudly: "Mr. Xu, if you leave now, many people will probably die. I think you should have heard about what happened a while ago."

Xu Rongbo stopped abruptly, and looked back at Zhang Xiaolong, his eyes began to hesitate.

Zhang Xiaolong made an invitation and said: "Mr. Xu, let's go into the room and talk, I think you must miss this place very much."

"I'll just listen to you."

Xu Rongbo followed Zhang Xiaolong into the villa, and the huge villa was already in dilapidated condition. After several months of chaos, almost everything of value here was stolen.

From Xu Rongbo's eyes, one can see a trace of sadness.

Zhang Xiaolong invited Xu Rongbo to a living room like a master, and asked politely: "Mr. Xu, what do you want to drink?"

Xu Rongbo said: "I don't drink, just talk about it if you have something to say."

Zhang Xiaolong went straight to the topic and said: "Many people died this winter. According to incomplete statistics, more than 2000 people died in total, and even more people were injured."

"It's none of my business."

Xu Rongbo snorted coldly, but his eyes trembled, he still cared in his heart.

Zhang Xiaolong explained: "The reason why this winter was so chaotic was that Xu Junbao was killed and the Xu family had no leader. Because there was no unified command, many people died in vain when resisting the invasion of the Russian Mafia. However, after the Russian Mafia retreated, , I'm afraid more people will die."

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Xu Rongbo, waiting for Xu Rongbo to ask questions.

It doesn't take much trouble to talk to smart people. Xu Rongbo already understood what Zhang Xiaolong meant. In order to become the second Xu Junbao, a more tragic bloody battle will be inevitable, and more people will probably die.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaolong said: "I was entrusted by the Pinlan Society to come here to mediate. I hope that Heilongjiang can form a regional alliance to prevent the outbreak of the underworld civil war as much as possible."

Xu Rongbo asked, "What can I do?"

Zhang Xiaolong said: "The new alliance needs a puppet leader who will not threaten anyone."

Xu Rongbo's face changed, he didn't want to be the leader.Zhang Xiaolong did not intend to give up, and continued: "No matter your status or power, you are suitable to be the leader of this alliance."

"What power do I have?" Xu Rongbo shook his head, he didn't come out to mess around.

Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "You are powerful, at least seven platinum elders from the Pinlan Society will support you to take the position. I hope that after you become the leader, you can balance the interests of all parties, at least not let them fight."

"Why are you so sure?" Xu Rongbo didn't quite believe Zhang Xiaolong's words, he also knew about Pinlanhui, and he knew his weight, how could the Platinum Elder of Pinlanhui be optimistic about him.

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to himself and said, "I am one of the Platinum Elders, and I am here on behalf of the honorary president of the Pinlan Society, Guang Lao."

In fact, it was Yang Yihui's intention to find Xu Rongbo, and the reason why he was pinned on Guang Lao was to look justified, and Guang Lao had an official background.

"Guangshan?"

Xu Rongbo lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

At this time, two horse boys came in, brought in two full boxes of documents, and put them on the table under Wei Dandan's instructions.

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to the two boxes and said, "You can take a look at the people who died this winter."

Xu Rongbo took out a folder from the box, which was a police file record, which contained bloody photos and police investigation reports.

On the top of the folder, there is a line of words: "Gangster File 32"

Xu Rongbo slammed into the folder, took a deep breath, and showed great pain on his expression.

Wei Dandan nodded to Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaolong said softly: "Mr. Xu, I know that you have been trying to atone for the family for so many years, hoping to feel better about your conscience."

This was researched by Zhang Xiaolong and Wei Dandan, and it was also a gamble. If they said it right, they could force Xu Rongbo to submit. If they said it wrong, they could think of other ways.

Xu Rongbo's body trembled, his expression became even more painful.

Zhang Xiaolong continued: "Now is a chance for redemption. The Buddha said: I am not as good as anyone who goes to hell. Being the leader of this alliance may violate your previous dreams and even be regarded as a bad person, but it can save more people. , although these people are a bunch of garbage, a bunch of people who waste food while they are alive, and waste land when they die."

"This...it doesn't matter to me..."

Xu Rongbo gritted his teeth, his eyes no longer dared to look at the folders in the two boxes on the table, just like these two Pandora's boxes.

Zhang Xiaolong beckoned, Qi Fanghang brought red wine over, and put a glass in front of Xu Rongbo.

Zhang Xiaolong took a sip, sometimes he can't speak too fast, let Xu Rongbo think about it first, maybe the effect will be better.

Xu Rongbo thought for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Are there no other candidates besides me?"

"Originally there were two. The first one was your younger brother Xu Ronghe, but after investigation, it was found that he colluded with the Russian Mafia and hired assassins to assassinate your grandfather Xu Junbao and your little cousin Xu Hongjun."

After Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Rongbo, his expression became even uglier.

"The second candidate is Hu Zhenjiang, but he has already been squeezed out of the Xu family by your uncles, and he has made too many enemies. If you let him be the leader, internal fighting may still be inevitable. There are some other people, more or less They all have problems, and if they are the leaders, something will definitely happen."

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to Xu Rongbo and said, "You are the most suitable candidate."

"Puppet leader..." Xu Rongbo smiled wryly.

When leaving the villa, Xu Rongbo signed the house contract, which is considered to have agreed to Zhang Xiaolong's request.

Zhang Xiaolong asked Qi Fanghang to send Xu Rongbo back. Looking at the car going away, Zhang Xiaolong said to Wei Dandan next to him, "Xu Rongbo must be feeling bad. Is your uncle helping him or hurting him?"

"I don't know." Wei Dandan probably also felt very sad, and was annoyed when he spoke.

…………

Three days later, the division of Xu Junbao's estate was completed, and Hu Zhenjiang also got a sum of money, which is better than nothing.

Zhang Xiaolong asked someone to redress
