Chapter 34 Xu's family dispatched

Seeing that Mr. Chu turned around and left with some melancholy, Xu Jinghong's heart was not only a little relieved, but also with a trace of intolerance, which made him very puzzled. Fortunately, he quickly focused his attention on the conversation with Zong Xiao: "Brother Zong is really a dragon that can't see the end of the dragon. I haven't seen you for a month."

"Hey, I'm ashamed." Zong Xiao smiled bitterly: "I didn't think it was difficult for everyone to meet in the capital, but I was banned because my father blamed me for leaving home without permission. I haven't seen Brother Xu for only one month. If it hadn't been for the Qixi Festival, I'm afraid my father might not have let me go out of the house.

"So that's it. It's my fault." Xu Jinghong smiled, then took the glass to fill the other party with a glass of spirits, and he dried up the wine in front of him: "I'll make amends to you for this cup."

Zong Xiao laughed and had a drink, and then said solemnly, "Although I was banned from home, I can still know what happened in the capital. It's amazing to hear that Brother Xu has done a big thing in Beijing this time.

"Well, it's just a matter of raising hands and doing what I should do. The underworld forces in Daliang City are really outrageous. If they had been in the southwest, I don't know how many times they would have been killed!"

"Although the words are not wrong, this is the beam after all." Zong Xiao said worriedly, "Brother Xu, have you ever thought that you would set up a lot of enemies for yourself if you do so? Those underworld people are supported by families. This time you have more people who have sinned. And these families have a certain status in the court, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your career.

Xu Jinghong nodded: "Of course I know this layer. However, I have a question to ask my brother, can a humble person like me really be killed from the encirclement of the children of those families under the current dynasty? In other words, even if I have never offended them, will they give me a fair chance to compete for the middle position?

"I'm afraid this... won't work." Zong Xiao shook his head clearly: "How many poor children have entered the court? In the end, they either become scapegoats or eventually achieve nothing, and are even suppressed and framed. Today, the Song Dynasty has been completely controlled by the family, and I'm afraid you can't be an exception.

"Ah, no matter what I do, they won't be friendly to me, so why should I keep my hand from them? Moreover, despite the current power of those families in the court, some people with insight have begun to think about how to change all this. What I do now is to let myself be accepted by them.

Hearing this, Zong Xiao's eyes lit up, and then slowly disappeared and nodded, "Brother Xu is indeed a person with extraordinary ambitions. Ordinary poor children always want to flatter and please those families if they want to be promoted, but you do the opposite!"

"Because in this way, I will become famous quickly, and I will also make those families avoid rats and dare not go too far. Why don't I do it?" Xu Jinghong explained with a smile, "Although these so-called rich families have done all the bad things, they still value their face, which makes them brazenly harm a person afraid they can't do. That's what I caught."

"Okay, Brother Xu's eyes are really poisonous, and he can see through the other party's loopholes at once!" Zong Xiao said and filled another glass of wine, signaled Xu Jinghong, and then took a bite. Xu Jinghong naturally had a drink with him, and then he said, "Then what is Brother Xu going to do next?"

"Next? Naturally, it is waiting for the expression of the court. The imperial court asked me to do this annihilation of the underworld. Since it has made contributions, the imperial court can't do it without any expression, right? I think I will soon be able to find a position here, and this will be the beginning of my real foothold in Beijing!" Xu Jinghong's words are full of confidence.

Zong Xiao couldn't help nodding again: "Brother Xu is really heroic! However, I'm a little worried that those people will not give up after suffering this loss. You must be careful.

"Hmm, it's just soldiers coming to block, and water comes to cover up! If they make it clear to me, I will obviously fight with them, and I won't be afraid of them! Brother Zong won't forget about Lingzhou, will he? When he said this, Xu Jinghong's body showed a chilling murderous atmosphere.

Zong Xiao was speechless. Although he did not see the situation with his own eyes, the news afterwards shocked him. More than 100 people from the Fang family in Lingzhou were killed by Xu Jinghong's brother in this way. Such murderousness is indeed not a good bully. It seems that these big families in Beijing are really going to meet a hard stubble this time.

"Well, let's not say these depressing words, let's drink. It's fate that you and I have a relationship. Today's Qixi night, we will meet again and drink this cup for our fate. Xu Jinghong soon felt that the conversation was a little awkward, so he held a glass of wine to persuade him.

"Yes, today is a good night. Let's put aside those unpleasant things. Come on, do it!" The two wine glasses collided with each other again and drank happily.

The two are intertwined and are not eye-catching among the diners in a group of restaurants, but they don't know that they have been being watched. Looking at their every move, it was two gorgeous guests in a three-story restaurant across the street from the restaurant. The decoration of this three-story restaurant is very luxurious, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Especially in the VIP building on the third floor, it is extremely expensive. Today, this floor has been wrapped, which shows that these two people are noble.

One of these two gorgeous guests is an old man who is over 70 years old. His face is full of wind and frost, and he coughs from time to time, which shows that he has reached the end of his years. This person is the head of the Xu family and the loyal and brave marquis Xu Zhengnian. And the middle-aged situation with him is not much better, and his pale face is also a little pale. There is no feeling of a man's peak period. This person is Xu Zhengnian's eldest son, Xu Wanyou.

It is really rare for the father and son to come out at the same time, and it is even more rare that they will enter this restaurant. Just because they have a purpose, that is, to meet Xu Jinghong and have a good talk.

Because Xu Jinghong made great contributions in the first two days, it is impossible for the court to continue to suppress his position and must give him an appropriate position. And this is also very important for the Xu family. In order to revitalize the Xu family, Xu Zhengnian must have a good talk with his grandson and let him return home and become the pillar of the Xu family in the future.

is a good point for both sides. Xu Zhengnian is still very confident that Xu Jinghong can accept it. After all, the current situation is like this. Without the support of rich families, it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve success in the court. Naturally, Xu Jinghong cannot be an exception, and the Xu family will also rise again because of the emergence of such a capable clan.

There are still many people in the Xu family who can't agree with Xu Zhengnian's idea, especially Xu Wanyou's two younger brothers Xu Wanquan and Xu Wanli, who don't think such a yellow-haired boy can do anything for the Xu family. However, at Xu Zhengnian's insistence, they had to agree, and Xu Wanyou accompanied his father here to meet Xu Jinghong.

During this period, they had mastered Xu Jinghong's behavior, so the father and son came to this restaurant called Xianglou early to wait, waiting for Xu Jinghong to pass by and order his servants to call him up. Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghong went straight into the opposite restaurant this time, and soon a friend came over, making the Xu family unable to invite him for a while.

This is not how polite the Xu family is. If others meet and chat with Xu Jinghong, most of them will still disturb them. However, the identity of the two people who just met and now Xu Jinghong for drinking was so special that Xu Zhengnian could not be greeted immediately, so he had to watch from afar.

The Xu family's father and son frowned a little, just because they had recognized the identity of these two people who talked happily with Xu Jinghong and seemed to have a good friendship. For the former, the people of the Chu family are not afraid to say. After all, the Xu family is a little more strong than them, but now this young man who drinks wine with Xu Jinghong is very different. Even Xu Zhengnian does not dare to ignore him.

"How could Jinghong get along with him?" Xu Zhengnian seemed to be asking and talking to himself.

Xu Wanyou is also very strange* shaking his head: "This is really weird. If this boy really becomes friends with him, the problem will be serious. Is it all the man's hands and feet behind his back? Father, if we want to bring Jinghong back again, I'm afraid we will be taboo by other families. At that time, I'm afraid..."

Seeing that his son seemed to want to take this opportunity to dispel his idea, Xu Zhengnian stared at him angrily: "Well, even without this incident, can they get along peacefully with my Xu family? With the weakening of my father's influence in the army, the status of our Xu family among the seven masters has also declined sharply. If there is no one who can revitalize the family business, our Xu family will be completely ruined! At this time, are you still thinking about letting your unsangry legitimate sons save our Xu family?

"I...the child knew it was wrong!" Under the strong pressure of his father, Xu Wanyou lowered his head no matter how unwilling he was. But then he was still worried and said, "But Jinghong has such a relationship with this person, which is really not good for us."

"This old man has his own way. Maybe Jinghong doesn't know his identity at all. After talking to him, I will ask him something clear. He is a smart man, and there must be a right choice between the two!" Xu Zhengnian said confidently.

At this time, the two people in the restaurant had stopped drinking and got up and left.
