Hold His Hand

Lu Tao is already 60 years old. He has dark skin and three deep vertical lines between his eyebrows. He looks calm and majestic.

But when he saw Lu Yanzhou, a smile appeared on his face: "Ah Zhou, come here quickly."

"Dad." Lu Yanzhou stepped forward and called out with a smile.

Lu Tao gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and the original owner was the youngest one, and the only one born after Lu Tao retired from the rivers and lakes, so he was the most loved by Lu Tao.

Of course, this kind of love is mainly reflected in giving the original owner some more money and giving the original owner some good things.The two elder brothers of the original owner had long since set up their own family, and looked down on these things, and would even give money to the original owner like Lu Tao, so the relationship between the people in this family is very good.

"Xiaozhou, you are not young anymore, you will follow me more from now on. Your brother has already gone out on his own at this time." How does Lu Tao see how his youngest son likes it? "This party, you have many uncles and uncles, They will bring their daughters and granddaughters there, so you can get to know more people.”

Lu Yanzhou was speechless for a while, and he said that Lu Tao, who had never taken the original owner to such occasions before, suddenly wanted to take him there... It turned out that he was [-] and wanted to take him on a blind date?

"Dad, men start their careers before they start a family. I don't want to know them." Lu Yanzhou said.

Lu Tao laughed loudly: "Then if you haven't started a career, you haven't started a family yet?"

Lu Tao didn't take Lu Yanzhou's words seriously at all. In fact, he was not in a hurry to get his son married. This time, he took him out purely to let his son see the world and show off his son.

His son didn't do any great things, but he didn't do anything that he shouldn't. His academic performance is good, he can speak English very fluently, and he can be regarded as a young talent.

Most importantly, his son looks good!

He is a big bastard, and his wife who is a few years younger than him is also average-looking, but for some reason, Lu Yanzhou, who was born to his wife, Lao Bang Huaizhu, actually picks on their merits, especially handsome.

Lu Tao took Lu Yanzhou into the car and drove to the meeting place.

On the way, he also instructed Lu Yanzhou earnestly: "Ah Zhou, the world is very chaotic, we have to think about it when we do things, and sometimes we hate people in our hearts, but we can't show it on our faces..."

Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Tao hoped that he would not talk nonsense just because he hated the Yan people.

Now the situation is complicated, if you are not careful, the whole family will suffer.

"I see." Lu Yanzhou agreed with a little resentment.

The car drove two streets and stopped in front of a building.

Lu Yanzhou has seen all kinds of large gatherings in modern times. The building in front of him is very small, and there are few people in it, but obviously, other people don't think so.

Lu Tao looked at Lu Yanzhou with some complacency: "How is it? Haven't you seen such a scene before?"

Uh...he has seen such scenes a lot.

Lu Yanzhou followed behind Lu Tao, greeted the people in the venue, and accepted compliments from others by the way.

On such occasions, no one would say anything unpleasant.

Of course, it was inevitable that some people would bring their daughters and granddaughters to let him get to know each other.

This is unnecessary, he only likes Xie Chengze.

Just as Lu Yanzhou was thinking, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

Everyone looked over together, and then saw a man in a black military uniform walking in with two people dressed like him.

The face of the person walking in the front was covered with terrible birthmarks, which was extremely ugly, but it was also this face that made people know his identity in the first place.

Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze, the director of the inspection department, the traitor and lackey who worked for the Yan people.

The whole venue was quiet for a moment, and then someone went up to say hello to Xie Chengze, and welcomed Xie Chengze's arrival with a smile on his face.

However, whether it is a real welcome or a fake welcome... Anyone who knows it must be a fake welcome.

Lu Tao looked at Lu Yanzhou: "Come over with me, say hello to him, and don't talk much then."

Lu Tao's expression was very serious, but when he brought Lu Yanzhou to Xie Chengze, he smiled again: "Director Xie, long time no see! Thanks to Director Xie's help, there was no problem with my batch of goods... Director Xie, when you are free, you must show respect and let me treat you to a meal!"

Xie Chengze's cold gaze swept across Lu Tao's face, and finally landed on Lu Yanzhou's face.

Lu Yanzhou lowered his head subconsciously, lest Xie Chengze would notice something was wrong.

Fortunately, Xie Chengze didn't look at him much, and quickly looked away: "I'm not free."

Xie Chengze didn't give Lu Tao any face at all, but Lu Tao was not angry: "Director Xie is busy with his affairs, he should have no time, he should..."

After saying hello, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and led Lu Yanzhou to the corner.

"Dad, it seems that everyone is afraid of him?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

"He is so unreasonable, a lunatic who wants to kill people if he doesn't like it, who is not afraid?" Lu Tao said.

"Didn't he only care about those who betrayed the Yan people after taking refuge in them?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

"It would be fine if it was just like this. Some people had taken refuge in Yan Guoren before, and they did their best. But because they didn't give him a confession, he just took the opportunity to ransack the house." Lu Tao said.

Lu Yanzhou didn't answer.

But... isn't this a good thing?Xie Chengze killed the people who took refuge in Yan Guoren!

"There are also people who are dissatisfied with the Yan people. If it falls into his hands, only one will die! You have to be careful when you meet him in the future, otherwise he will kill you suddenly, and I can't do anything with him!" Lu Tao threatened his son.

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said: "I must stay far away from him!"

When Lu's father and son talked about Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze looked at the people around him: "Who is that young man next to Lu Tao?"

"It's Lu Tao's youngest son." Among the people Xie Chengze took today, there is someone who is responsible for dealing with the chamber of commerce, and this person also knows something about the Lu family: "It is said that Lu Tao dotes on this youngest son very much, but his little son is not clear about his mind. , have a lot of complaints against us."

"Is that so..." Xie Chengze's eyes swept over Lu Yanzhou again, he lowered his head, and felt his heartbeat has unconsciously accelerated.

"Director, do you want to check him?"

"Check out a kid, are you so busy?" Xie Chengze sneered.

The man lowered his head and didn't dare to speak anymore, but Xie Chengze said again: "This little brat is quite handsome."

The people around Xie Chengze looked at Xie Chengze in surprise.

Xie Chengze is a man who loves money very much, and he usually does some things like stealing other people's property.

Although he was very indifferent to Lu Tao and others, if Lu Tao and the others begged him with money and asked him to help, he would probably help.

In front of Yan Guoren, he also bowed his knees and flattered him to the fullest.

Everyone in the inspection office and other places knew that Xie Chengze had two faces and was extremely hypocritical.

But at the same time, Xie Chengze is very skilled, ruthless, and highly valued by the people of Yan Guo, so no matter how much everyone thinks he is not pleasing to the eye, no matter how much they think he is pretending to be aloof and indifferent, they still have to bow their heads in front of him.

He has never praised his appearance in front of others, but now he suddenly said that Lu Tao's youngest son is handsome...

Xie Chengze has never been close to women, could it be that he is a man?

Lu Tao's youngest son looks seventeen or eighteen years old, with a little childishness, clean eyes, and a tall figure. If he can hold such a person under his body, would it feel good?

The person next to Xie Chengze was thinking about messy things, and suddenly met Xie Chengze's cold eyes: "What are you thinking?"

He lowered his head, not daring to think again: "No... I didn't think about anything."

Xie Chengze didn't stay at the Chamber of Commerce party for too long, he left soon.

As soon as he returned to the inspection office, someone came over, saying that Director Li from the Secret Service came to him.

Some responsibilities of the Secret Service and the Inspection Office overlap, and the relationship between the two parties has not been good. Xie Chengze narrowed his eyes slightly and asked someone to come in.

"Why did Chief Li come to see me when he has time?" Xie Chengze asked.

"Director Xie, we recently learned that we need the help of the Audit Office," Director Li said.

Ever since the Secret Service instigated the deputy head of the Chongcheng Command Station and found out that there was such a person as "Zhaojun", they have been investigating, but unfortunately nothing has been found.

Not long ago, the Chongcheng command station found something was wrong, and cut off all contact with the deputy station chief who defected to the enemy.

Director Li was reprimanded by the people above, and the people above asked him to ask Xie Chengze for help. In desperation, he had no choice but to come to the inspection office.

After Director Li explained his purpose, Xie Chengze said, "We can help with this matter, but the information on your side, Director Li..."

"I'll send someone over tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xie Chengze looked eager to try, "I'll have someone check it tomorrow!"

When Director Li saw Xie Chengze like this, his face was not very good-this Xie Chengze clearly wanted to take credit from him!

He must catch Zhaojun as soon as possible!

The Secret Service and the Public Security Bureau investigated Zhaojun together, and it was inevitable that some unjust, false and wrong cases would come out.

Under Xie Chengze's staff, someone who had nothing to do with the case was arrested and extorted.

But we all know that Xie Chengze loves money, so as long as someone follows Xie Chengze's path and gives enough money, his life will be fine. After the money is over, Xie Chengze breaks up with his subordinates and gives some to his boss, and everyone is happy.

Lu Yanzhou stepped on the time and asked Huzi to pass the information that the Yan people were going to attack the self-defense regiment to the people at the Chongcheng Command Station, and then learned from his father that Xie Chengze had arrested a businessman surnamed Zhao from the Chamber of Commerce. Ready to redeem people.

That man was actually very innocent, and had nothing to do with spies or anything. He just happened to open a dance hall, and several people who knew the information provided by Zhaojun even patronized his dance hall.

"Old Zhao has worked so hard to save his family fortune, after this incident, there is not much left!"

"It's also bad luck for him to be targeted by Xie Chengze."

"It's not bad if you can save your life. When Xie Chengze is unhappy, he won't be able to come back."

……

When Lu Yanzhou returned to the Lu family's old house, he heard his father and others sighing.

He didn't sympathize with the old Zhao who opened the dance hall.

In the dance halls these days, there are many dirty things inside. I don't know how many dirty activities there are.

Moreover, in this era, people without power and power, no matter whether they are opening a dance hall or a factory or a business, cannot continue to operate.

There was once a man of insight who came back from overseas and wanted to save the country through industry. He went bankrupt and set up a factory. Then someone from the government would check every day and fine him if he found fault...

His factory was open, and he only made money if he lost money. It wasn't until he couldn't keep going, and the officer's brother-in-law took over the factory, that he made a fortune.

There are too many such things, even the Lu family... Lu Tao has made so much money these years because he has a good relationship with Xiguo.

Now everyone hates the Yan people, but Xiguo didn't do anything good back then, so the Lu family was not innocent either.

So Xie Chengze bullying the businessman surnamed Zhao couldn't be considered too wrong.

It's just that Xie Chengze's behavior will undoubtedly offend the rich people in Chongcheng, so in public opinion, Xie Chengze will be beaten by everyone.

"Dad, I want to buy ancient books, give me some money!" Lu Yanzhou approached Lu Tao.

Lu Tao, who was talking to someone, frowned: "Why do you want to buy ancient books again? You know that you can't eat or use these."

"These are treasures!" Lu Yanzhou said.

"Okay, okay, I'll write you a note...how much?" Lu Tao asked.

"Two thousand." Lu Yanzhou opened his mouth and came.

"I'll give you one thousand at most." Lu Tao wrote a note for one thousand, asking Lu Yanzhou to collect the money from the account.

"Thank you, Dad." Lu Yanzhou took the money and left.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou leave, the person chatting with Lu Tao said: "Brother Lu, your youngest son is worthy of being a man of culture, and he actually likes ancient books."

"It's not that he likes ancient books, he just finds any reason to ask me for money! He probably threw away the money again!"

"Throw it away?" Someone was puzzled.

Lu Tao pretended to be dissatisfied, but in fact he showed off a little: "This kid has a very good heart, and he always wants to get involved in other people's porridge."

Now there are no jobs in Chongcheng, and many people who cannot feed themselves are facing starvation.

Some rich people see them as pitiful, so they will go to give out porridge. His youngest son does this kind of thing a lot.

Hearing what Lu Tao said, everyone praised Lu Tao again.

After Lu Yanzhou took the money, he did indeed buy food and sent it to the porridge kitchen in Chongcheng.

This porridge stand was established by people from the Western Kingdom Church, and the people of Yan Kingdom would not be enemies to it. Lu Yanzhou and others donated food, and it was true that people in need could eat it.

Flour, rice, bean dregs, etc. are all boiled into a pot, and then taken out after cooling down a bit. People who come to drink porridge can each get a bowl and must drink it on the spot.

Those who came to beg for porridge were generally skinny, and the legs of some children were as sticky as bones.

Lu Yanzhou took Huzi and silently helped with the work.

Many people in this era live like livestock.Those who have no ability to earn a living are miserable, and those who work in factories are not necessarily happy.

They have to work even when they are sick, and there are many private workers who can only eat pig food.

Also because it is too bitter, most people are numb.

"What is Director Xie looking at?" Not far away, Director Li of the Secret Service asked Xie Chengze beside him with great interest.

Xie Chengze said directly: "He looks good."

Director Li was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xie Chengze with a little shock.

Xie Chengze took out a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth and lit it: "I like young people like this."

Under the sun, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy rolled up his sleeves and was chopping firewood, working very seriously.

Xie Chengze really liked Lu Tao's youngest son. He had just glanced at him from a distance at the banquet before, and he couldn't forget it.

He didn't intend to do anything, but he didn't mind showing it.

He needs some weaknesses, and besides... It's a good thing that this little guy is in his fancy.

His enemies will sympathize with this little guy, but his "friends" will not do anything to this person at will.

Xie Chengze took a puff of smoke, and then looked at the boy chopping wood in the sun.

He had lived a very fake life in this life, and he never expected that he would give his whole heart unexpectedly when he was caught off guard.

But Xie Chengze didn't stay where he was, and left soon.

He can show his love for Young Master Lu, but he can't be too concerned. If he is too concerned, someone might use Young Master Lu to threaten him!

That night, the Secret Service.

Director Li took his own people to a meeting and asked about the progress of the matter.

Zhaojun's identity has not yet been found out, and the people they had suspected were all removed from their suspicions one by one.

Suddenly remembered something, Director Li asked: "I remember you went to check on Lu Tao's youngest son? Is there anything unusual about him?"

"He has a lot of opinions about our Great Yan Kingdom, but there is nothing unusual, and he hasn't gone to see anyone." Someone said.

Lu Yanzhou is talented, he has been living in Chongcheng, and his experiences from childhood to adulthood can be found. They don't think this person has anything to do with the black snake.

Director Li also didn't think that Lu Yanzhou had something to do with Black Snake or Zhaojun, but this guy was unlucky to be targeted by Xie Chengze.

That guy Xie Chengze is so ugly that he is psychopathic, and he actually likes men.
