Genius commoner

Chapter 257: Sleepless Night
Two hours later, within the red wall.

Song Jincheng walked into the yard where his sister had been. The yard was lit like beans, indicating that the night was quiet, but the owner of the yard hadn't rested yet. The scent of medicine and the surrounding guards from the attic could tell that Song Jincheng walked under the attic. The middle-aged woman He walked out, smiling calmly and said: "The Forbidden City is here? The chief is waiting for you upstairs."

"Aunt Xue, prepare me a midnight snack."

Song Jincheng said politely: "I'm a little hungry."

When the middle-aged woman nodded with a smile, Song Jincheng walked upstairs slowly. Compared with Concubine Song Sifei who talked through the screen last time, his treatment was much better. At a glance, there was a rocking chair by the window shaking, and Lying on the rocking chair was an old man in gray clothes with an unattractive face, a little thin, with a few red-headed documents in his hand.

The documents are all marked top secret.

On the coffee table within reach, a pot of traditional Chinese medicine that promotes body fluids is warmed.

While examining the documents in his hand, the old man took a few sips from the thermos.

Seeing the shadow coming from the light, the old man in gray raised his thin face, raised a kind smile and said:
"The Forbidden City is here? I heard that you killed the gangsters as soon as you returned to the capital?"

Song Jincheng didn't directly answer the gray-clothed old man's words, he stepped forward and pulled out a chair, and sat down beside the old man.

He grabbed a few red-headed documents and put them on the other end, preventing the gray-clothed old man from touching them, and then spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Uncle, it's already eleven o'clock, and you are still reading documents, you should have a good rest."

"You have to attend a few important meetings tomorrow, how can you have the energy to have a meeting if you don't rest early?"

The old man in gray didn't care that the documents were taken away, and after a burst of hearty laughter, he said, "According to the previous schedule, I should have slept for half an hour at this moment, and this is not to wait for you to stay awake, you know , I don’t like to let time pass meaninglessly, so I asked Secretary Xue to bring some documents to look through.”

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I was late and delayed your rest."

Song Jincheng looked guilty: "Some private matters took time."

"Silly boy, what are you doing seeing me like this?"

The old man in gray reached out his hand to touch Song Jincheng's head, and said with a concerned face: "I have no heirs, and I am lonely. You are my brother's son. I watched you be born and grow up, and I have long regarded you as my son. My own child, don't talk about two different families, there is nothing to delay, in fact, I also want to see you."

"We haven't seen each other for some time. Your visit abroad was very successful."

Song Forbidden City respectfully said: "Thank you uncle for your praise."

The old man in gray said with a sense of open-mindedness: "I still read the documents so late, and I have a purpose. I want to pave the way for you while I can still do something."

A touch of emotion appeared on Song Jincheng's face: "Uncle, you don't have to care about me so much. I have grown up and I can solve problems by myself."

"I know your ability, but there is no harm in doing more."

The shriveled lips of the gray-clothed old man outlined an arc of knowing life: "The officialdom in Longshuo is different from other countries, the water inside is very deep, and politics is a sharper weapon than a sword. It wants you to die, no Blood must be seen, there is only one person in Long Shuo who can go through ups and downs in modern times, and most of the others do not have this fate."

"If you have an accident, you won't have a chance to stand up."

Song Jincheng nodded: "The Forbidden City understands, and must follow every step."

The old man in gray smiled leisurely: "By the way, you haven't answered me yet, what's the matter with the gangster?"

Song Jincheng didn't hide anything, and took the topic softly: "The thing is like this, this is the trouble caused by Ye Zixuan, Zhang Zuimo accidentally involved it, in order to divert the danger of Zuimo, I pushed him down." He Tell the old man in front of him the whole story of the matter, and even tell the whole story about the incident in the hospital.

While drinking the traditional Chinese medicine, the old man in gray clothes listened to Song Jincheng's report, and finally rubbed his fingers against the thermos bottle:
"You did a good job. You didn't fight in the hospital to damage your reputation, and you didn't kill Ye Zixuan to cause big trouble."

"Ye Zixuan deserves to die, but this is not the way to die, let alone in front of Zui Mo, it will affect your marriage."

He coughed softly: "I heard that Zui Mo is very resistant to this marriage, and has protested to the Zhang family more than once to cancel it. I don't know why she doesn't accept you, but there must be no problems with the marriage contract. You need to get married smoothly, this will be beneficial to your future development, so you were right not to kill someone in front of Zui Mo."

"Once Ye Zixuan dies, she will definitely tear up the marriage. I managed to facilitate this matter, and it would be a pity to ruin it."

Song Jincheng nodded: "I was thinking about Zui Mo's feelings and the interests of the two families, so I refrained from shooting. Of course, I also had concerns about Ye Kuangren's illegitimate child. If Ye Zixuan is not Ye Kuangren's son, but Ye Kuangren The eldest and second son's child, I will not hesitate to kill him, anyway, the reason is on our side."

"Ye Zong and the others will not meet the Song family swordsmen because of their illegitimate children."

Song Jincheng's eyes flickered with a gleam: "But Ye Kuangren can't, this guy is terrible when he is crazy. I have read the information about him killing enemy prisoners, he is an inhuman beast. If I kill Ye Zixuan, I am worried. He directly retaliated against me, even at any cost to break the net with the Song family fish, this is not what I want."

"Yes, well thought out."

There was a hint of praise on the face of the gray-clothed old man: "At this stage, I am not afraid of the opponent's rationality, but I am afraid of the opponent's crazy bite. Ye Kuangren is indeed a top-notch man. This time I will work it out and transfer him to be a member of Huahai. It is to use him to get rid of the ancient Buddha and Long Aotian, but who knows that Ye Zixuan will appear, and the success will fall short."

"This illegitimate child, I don't know who he gave birth to."

The corner of Song Jincheng's mouth twitched coldly: "Uncle, don't worry, whether it's Ye Kuangren's protection or Zui Mo's feelings, I now have a chance to kill Ye Zixuan in an open and honest manner. The invitation of grievances, he agreed, he fell into a pit I dug, and he wanted to risk his life."

"is it?"

There was admiration in the eyes of the gray-clothed old man: "This is great. Ye Kuangren and Zui Mo have nothing to say if he is killed in public. After all, it is Ye Zixuan's promise. When are you going to fight?" Where is the battle? Let me see if there are any loopholes that need to be patched? I very much hope that after the first battle, Ye Zixuan will no longer exist."

He sighed: "This kid is my nemesis, he has ruined several of my plans."

Thinking of Villa NO.19, the old man in gray shot a murderous intent.

Song Jincheng hesitated for a moment, and took the topic softly: "I asked him to choose the location, but I haven't agreed yet, because he changed the bet, Ye Zixuan refused my temptation to kowtow, and instead used my marriage contract with Zui Mo As a condition, if he wins, we will separate, this matter is a bit big, so let me ask you."

"Break the engagement?"

The old man in gray snorted coldly when he heard the words: "This kid, you are really vicious in doing things. A sword stabbed at our vitals. If I lose, my hard work for the past six months will be in vain. The second generation of the Ye family basically tends to the one above. Five or five of the second generation of the Zhang family supports us, so I hope to use you to marry Zhang Zuimo and bring in the second generation of the Zhang family."

Song Jincheng was stunned, then nodded: "Uncle is far-sighted."

As the two remaining marshals Ye Lao and Zhang Lao, they will not interfere too much in government affairs, nor will they participate in factional struggles. Their historical status and political achievements make them destined to be prosperous and rich until their last breath. No matter who comes to power, Both Ye Lao and Zhang Lao enjoy the glory as before, and no one can shake them.

But their descendants cannot be so detached and indifferent. The temptation of power and wealth will make them choose to stand in the team, so as to make their own resources more abundant. More than ten years ago, the Ye family favored the current commander-in-chief camp. The power of the commander-in-chief of the same level has skyrocketed, and he has tried every means to weaken it, but the current commander-in-chief still wins.

This made Xu Song and the others, who were originally arrogant, begin to pay attention to the resources of the red descendants.

Two years later, the two sides will start to compete again. The Song family obviously doesn't want to fight again, so they try to win over the Zhang family at all costs. Years of painstaking efforts finally paid off. If Zhang Zuimo's marriage is successful, the Song family will be fully supported by the Zhang family, and the family will also rise to a higher level.

"Promise him, one battle will determine the universe."

When Song Forbidden City admired his uncle, the old man in gray suddenly said: "I invite Song Tiandao to come out of the mountain."

Song Jincheng looked shocked: "Is the old man willing to come out of the mountain?"

When the gray-clothed old man smiled and said nothing, Ye Zixuan was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling. For some reason, he felt exhausted, but it was difficult for him to fall asleep. I don’t know if there was a shadow of Zhang Zuimo in his heart, or a collision with Song Forbidden City. Ye Zixuan felt a little excited, he turned over on the bed a few times, and then simply got up to repair the jade.

Although the tool Tang Xixi gave was gold, it did not prevent Ye Zixuan from repairing it at all. In less than an hour, he synthesized the two pieces of jade together, and a flying dragon appeared in his palm. With a satisfied smile, I don't know whether to be happy that the jade is complete, or to clarify my aspirations to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors.

Ye Zixuan glanced at the jade towards the light, then carefully put it back around his neck, and when he lay back on the bed again, Ye Zixuan looked out the dark window and said:
"You followed me for a long time, and you watched me repair jade for an hour. Aren't you tired? Aren't you bored?"

The shadows outside the window gradually became thicker and piled up, as if the darkness had been extracted by someone.

Then, a woman came out from the darkness, it was the shadow that had been following Yan Xiyan: "You are the young master, I want to protect your safety."

Ye Zixuan said lightly: "Boss Ye, I will show up."
