Zhong Xiaoai gave me a fourth child, and it has nothing to do with you, Hou Liangping.

It is an older courtyard house.

The mottled buildings highlight its long history.

It is filled with the cultural heritage of the Chinese courtyard house.

of course.

Such an extremely elegant ancient courtyard.

It undoubtedly reveals the powerful status of the owner of this courtyard.

after all.

The imperial capital is the footsteps of the emperor.

It is also one of the first-tier cities along with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.

Such a courtyard house must belong to either the rich or the noble.

In other words, most of them are powerful and wealthy families.

True.

Zhao Dehan, the "small official with huge corruption", said it right -

What's the use of a director? In the imperial capital, a brick can hit a large number of directors.

The Imperial Garden Mansion Siheyuan is by no means an ordinary residence of dignitaries.

But a person who is about to be forgotten...

But he has a background that is very famous——

Zhao Mengsheng!

This Imperial Garden Mansion and Siheyuan was also built as a reward for special merits.

In the courtyard.

Sixty years later, Zhao Mengsheng, who is nearly seventy years old, is alive.

Still in good health and spirits.

But he had already "retired".

No longer concerned with the right and wrong of government affairs.

He is just like a free and easy wanderer, enjoying his old age in peace and tranquility.

Plant flowers and plants in the yard, walk the birds, and make tea.

It’s as if the outside world is noisy and prosperous, with bright lights, wine and women, and a life of decadence.

I have long distanced myself from him and have no connection with him anymore.

only……

Zhao Mengsheng, dressed in a Tang suit, paced among the flowers and plants.

Or holding a pair of scissors for trimming flowers and plants.

Prune branches and leaves.

Or carrying a watering can.

Water those flowers and plants...

"Old Master, recently, we sent people to Handong Province to investigate..."

"There is still no news of the young master being abandoned due to special circumstances!"

A capable guard walked up behind Zhao Mengsheng with the swiftness of a dragon or a tiger.

His expression was quite solemn as he reported in a low voice.

Zhao Mengsheng's face was full of vicissitudes of life.

It is the wisdom accumulated over the years.

This is the unique style of a veteran!

Hear the guard's report.

His expression was slightly moved.

He let out a slight "Ah".

"Long Hu, continue to send people to investigate. After all, it's been many years, and this is just a baby in swaddling clothes!"

"It will be very difficult to investigate this!"

"But we must investigate, even if we have to dig three feet underground!"

"Turning that deserted village in Handong Province upside down."

"Even if my little son was really taken away by a wild wolf..."

"That's his fate. This is the only wish I have left!"

"Visit the nearby villagers more often. If that doesn't work, use the connections and resources of the provincial party committees and criminal police systems in Handong and Southeast provinces!"

Long Hu saluted and responded loudly.

"Yes, Lord!"

Zhao Mengsheng hesitated for a moment and continued to instruct.

"However, letting you use your personal connections and resources... does not mean that you can mobilize a large number of troops to poke a hole in the provincial party committee and the criminal police system!"

"The current officialdom is not as clean as it was in our time!"

"If they knew that I, Zhao Mengsheng, had a son who was abandoned in a deserted village in Handong Province..."

"They are trying to flatter me and kiss my ass, so they are going to cause a big uproar!"

“So, this matter must be investigated and kept confidential.”

Longhu understood.

"Don't worry, Mr. Guo!"

"I will be careful to control the scale!"

Because Zhao Mengsheng has the qualifications of a national elder.

How many people in official circles fawn on others in every possible way!

the reason is simple--

It seems that Zhao Mengsheng does not care about state affairs.

However, with his background.

Even vice-ministerial officials are extremely respectful when they meet him!

Long Hu took the order and exchanged a few more words with Zhao Mengsheng.

Turned and left the courtyard.

He immediately left the imperial capital and headed for Handong Province.

Zhao Mengsheng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky.

He murmured to himself.

"My son, are you still alive?"

"Back then, dad and your mom had no choice. I wish you were still alive!"

-----------------

Handong Province.

Office of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Liang Qunfeng is the deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He stood by the window in his office.

Looking at the city of Jingzhou.

With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, it swept across cities in China.

The economy is developing rapidly.

China is like the Oriental dragon, constantly rising and taking off.

In the haze with a slight industrial atmosphere.

Jingzhou City is even more hazy and magnificent.

Especially since Liang Qunfeng served as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He also felt the pulse of this city's continuous development and growth.

Liang Lu glanced around the office.

Confirmed that Liang Qunfeng was the only one in the office.

She walked in with light steps.

"dad!"

Liang Lu shouted towards Liang Qunfeng.

Liang Qunfeng came back to his senses from his confused thoughts.

He turned slightly to the side and saw that it was his daughter Liang Lu who came.

He said "uh" in a slightly surprised tone.

"Lulu, why are you here?"

Liang Lu said with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Dad, I've been home several times, but I didn't see you at home!"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"I had no choice but to come to your workplace to find you!"

Liang Qunfeng's expression was slightly tense. "Hmm? What's wrong? Do you want to talk to dad?"

"Lulu, Dad has been strictly enforcing various projects in Jingzhou City recently, and has to severely crack down on those evil forces. He is really busy!"

"So, every time I come home, I'm very late, and I go out again early the next morning!"

"I didn't have time to take care of you, I..."

Liang Lu interrupted Liang Qunfeng.

Said with some resentment.

"Dad, you're always busy all day long. Your daughter was bullied and you didn't care!"

Liang Qunfeng walked to Liang Lu and raised his hand to signal.

"Lulu, sit down!"

"Tell me, who is so bold as to bully my daughter?"

Liang Lu was quite spoiled like a young lady, sitting gracefully on the sofa.

She pouted and spoke to Liang Qunfeng unhappily.

"Who else could it be? It's that Handong University student, the school hunk Qi Tongwei, the big bastard Qi!"

Liang Qunfeng said “Ahaha” and smiled lovingly.

"Oh, so it's my future son-in-law who made you angry!"

"How did Tong Wei... bully you?"

"Lulu, you are already an adult, you are a pain in my heart!"

"Qi Tongwei is a good kid. He was excellent in both character and study at school. He is also honest and motivated!"
