peace and prosperity

4.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Zhou Changshan's family to order newspapers.There is nothing new in Taisheng, and there are people who are worth reporting to Zhou Changshan.Big and small news, he is closer and sees more clearly than the pens in the newspaper office, and he is even the instigator.But the newspaper delivery person still passes by his door every day, Taisheng Daily, Yan Rongzhang subscribes for him on a yearly basis, five years as one day.What I ordered was a newspaper, with some gray news that couldn't be written in black and white.Zhou Changshan stood in the porch holding a newspaper to shake himself up, and shook out a note from the gap.Yan Rongzhang's words were written on it: New developments in the old city tonight.

It was very short, Zhou Changshan glanced at it while washing, and threw it into the sink.He didn't like this kind of communication, it was easy to expose, the language was unknown, and it was child's play, just like Yan Rongzhang hit him on the forehead when he passed a small note in class.Fortunately, he didn't receive notes very often. This kind of oblique contact between Yan Rongzhang and him was rare. Whenever he thought of it, Yan Rongzhang would walk up to him by himself.Receiving this kind of note, this kind of child's play note, on the contrary, showed the danger of the situation and the new progress, which made Yan Rongzhang also at a loss.

At night, Zhou Changshan changed his suit and leather shoes, put on a new leather vest and peaked cap, and walked out the door. He walked two streets before reaching out to stop the car.When he bent down to get into the taxi, he seemed to be sitting back in the hairy boy five years ago, and he smiled more kindly to the driver.It wasn't too late for him to set off. He drove from the rich area to the old city, and passed by a few young couples, rich or not, all holding hands and holding hands as a couple for a night tour.The driver saw him staring out the window in a daze, and teased him: "Does the young man have a girlfriend? Look at the couple outside, and you're all dazed."

Zhou Changshan blinked, looked away and smiled: "Yes, I'm on a date with my lover."

Denying it at this time, it looks very lonely, and the driver will look sympathetically.It was also at this time that Zhou Changshan felt that Yan Rongzhang was useful, and his five-year friendship was enough for him to lie without feeling guilty.

When getting off the car, the driver also wished him a smooth date, and he kindly smiled back.But when he stepped into the tube building and walked into the dating venue, his smile collapsed every time he went up a flight of stairs.It was only on the second floor, and when Yan Rongzhang opened the door for him, he had already asked him: "You look so bad?"

"It won't be peaceful after tonight," Zhou Changshan pushed him away to stretch his hands and feet on the sofa, and asked, "What kind of face should I put on?"

Yan Rongzhang sat next to him.He hugged Zhou Changshan's shoulders and comforted him: "Even if the whole Taisheng is turned upside down, I won't easily involve you in it. It's better to say that this is a good thing you hope for... Changshan, Taisheng is a newcomer, he is a good person."

Zhou Changshan had folded his hands on his chin, and propped his head to look at the coffee table. Hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head, and grinned sarcastically in disbelief: "A good person? I'm afraid we have different definitions of a good person."

"A good man who acts vigorously and resolutely," Yan Rongzhang repeatedly affirmed, "Investigate the gangsters, as well as the white ones. Officials and wealthy families will not let them go. Every department in the municipal building handcuffs people away every day."

"So? I think you're still alive and well."

"He is afraid of scaring away big snakes, so the top management must take their time. Slowness does not mean soft hands. The Chen family has been planning new business in the past few months because several old roads in the old business have begun to be blocked. Mr. Chen has been making waves in Taisheng for too long. , I probably forgot how to write the three characters of avoiding the limelight, and thought that this time the new official took office and lit three fires at random. But this also shows that the new story is very clever, and important news has not been leaked. Success or failure is determined by one stroke— —Hit Mr. Chen seven inches, and he will uproot the dead branches and rotten leaves of Taisheng. It is very difficult, the Chen family is not vegetarian, and the undercover agent who has been placed in has not been heard from for a month and a half, and both sides are walking the tightrope." Yan Rongzhang arm He tightened his grip, pulled Zhou Changshan closer, and said in a low voice: "Even if you look in the dictionary, you can't find a good person who is more unyielding than this."

Zhou Changshan was noncommittal, and instead of digging into the intricate details, he asked, "How long has this newcomer been here to talk about things?"

"Two months."

"Two months, did you tell me today?"

Yan Rongzhang touched the bridge of his nose, bringing out the embarrassment of cheating in the exam and catching the current situation.He sighed and said: "You have been looking forward to this kind of person to come, to regulate order and establish morality. Now a good person finally comes. I am afraid that once I tell you, you will only want good people and not me. Also, recently I have also begun to be turned down. , Taisheng, I will not be here for long, and when the Chen family falls, I should take advantage of it. I am selfish, and I will tell you when I can't delay." While talking, he stood up, went to the cupboard and found a bottle of old wine .It was left over from drinking when they first bought this house, and it should have fermented and changed in the past five years.Yan Rongzhang put down two glasses, and when he filled one, Zhou Changshan asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Over there in Northern Europe, I'll contact you after I confirm the address. Changshan, it's almost a new era, what new plans do you have?"

"Why, haven't you already been targeted? Can you arrange a retreat for me?" Zhou Changshan raised a glass and bumped it with Yan Rongzhang. The era, the millennium, it's none of my business. What's the plan? I'll celebrate the new era with a drink and then leave."

"So pessimistic," Yan Rongzhang raised his glass and watched Zhou Changshan drink with a smile, "I'm still sitting here, of course I'll make arrangements for you. As long as you don't show up in the Longxin Hall, I can pick you up." When you go out, you will have a clean record. At that time, you will be the same as five years ago, unrestrained, unafraid, still young, or even better, living a new life in a bright city. You are handsome and charming , I love you in any era. Tell me about your plan."

Alcohol had an especially quick effect on Zhou Changshan, his cheeks flushed to the pinnae of his ears, maybe it was because Yan Rongzhang boasted too dramatically.But Yan Rongzhang knew him well, knew where the limit of his drunkenness was, and would not be deceived by him, and was still waiting for his clear-headed answer.Zhou Changshan stopped being perfunctory, turned the wine glass unconsciously, and thought about the amber color reflected by the glass, as if he really saw his future in the light.He thought to the end, and said softly: "The Chen family is not here, you are not here, and I am not here in the past, so I will be a police assistant, and I will also be a good person, a good person through and through."

Yan Rongzhang looked at Zhou Changshan tenderly.Everything has changed, Zhou Changshan's heart is still there, and the touch he has received is also there.He held Zhou Changshan's hand completely, and told him: "You must have your wishes come true."

When the two wine glasses were put together on the table again, the two stood up and prepared to go their separate ways.Yan Rongzhang put Zhou Changshan's hat on and straightened his clothes in the hall. When Zhou Changshan turned the lock on the door, he asked Zhou Changshan, "I'm leaving and I may never come back. Give me a last kiss?"

Zhou Changshan's sensibility has been put away, he raised his eyebrows and looked back: "Since you are going to leave, you won't be the chief police officer of Taisheng anymore, is it good for me to kiss you?"

Yan Rongzhang smiled, and went to kiss the corner of Zhou Changshan's lips, persuading him: "Break up and kiss, leave some thoughts for my old friend."

Zhou Changshan touched the place where he was kissed, shook his head and said, "We should be more unfeeling when we break up."

In order to reduce the risk, they did not go downstairs together.Zhou Changshan left first, and when he stood at the entrance of the corridor and watched him go down, Yan Rongzhang suddenly said: "Changshan, stay at home on Saturday, and don't go out with the Chen family."

"Anxin," Zhou Changshan waved his hand, "I'm not a fool."

He was indeed not stupid. After going downstairs, he walked in the dark, walked two streets silently in the shadows, and then hailed a car to go home.However, smart people always encounter troubles. When he called to stop and was about to get off the car two blocks away, the taciturn taxi driver turned indifferent and took out a gun from his uniform to stop him.The driver's face was one he didn't recognize, and when he was trying to find out what was wrong, another car drove up beside him, the window was rolled down, and the owner he was familiar with came to see him.Mr. Chen smiled kindly at him through the two car windows, and invited him: "Chang Shan, why don't you talk in another car?"

It was obviously not his turn to say no here, the taxi driver kept raising his gun and followed him out of the car.After the door on the side was opened, he could clearly see Mrs. Chen sitting in the co-driver, while Chen Xiao in the back seat was looking up at him.Chen Xiao's eyebrows are drawn curved, and she usually looks cold and thin, but now she looks even colder.But when he got into the car with a gun, he didn't pretend to be good-natured in front of Mrs. Chen and Chen Xiao. He opened his mouth and laughed: "All the men who can be used by the Chen family are dead, and Mrs. Chen finally found out that the eldest lady is also available. gone?"

"My only son is dead, and the youngest I value most is a liar. You shouldn't make fun of it." Mr. Chen looked at him from the rearview mirror, and he also looked into Mr. Chen's eyes in the rearview mirror.After looking at each other in this way for a while, Grandpa Chen actually smiled.Just like he cared about Zhou Changshan's daily life when we were walking together in the past, he bent his eyes and asked: "Changshan, do you feel wronged by Tongzilou when you meet the chief police officer?"

Zhou Changshan's sneer almost couldn't hold back.He gritted his teeth and held on, but cold sweat quietly flowed down his back.
