C168 The Scheme of the Winter Night

While drinking hot tea, on this winter night where the cold wind whistled, after listening to Yao Guanqun's narration, Fan Wenbin also felt warm all over his body. He felt proud to have such a chivalrous grandfather.

When his grandfather lived, he rarely mentioned his help to others, let alone asking for repayment. Even to Li Jizhen, who he thought was "not worthy of sympathy," he also rarely mentioned it. However, his kindness to others had always been engraved in his heart, and he would never forget it.

Regarding this long-sealed history, both of them could not help but sigh. After a while, Fan Wenbin said, "I didn't expect that Fan Yao and his family had such a relationship. It was really created by the heavens. "

In the days that he had known Yao Guanqun, he clearly felt that this old man with a strange temperament. He had a passion and concern for him that far exceeded others. Only now did he realize that there was a deep history behind it.

"Sir Fan is truly a good person that is hard to come by. " Following that, Yao Guanqun also sighed and said in agreement, "My father said that Sir Fan saved many Red Army soldiers back then. "

On that winter night twenty years ago, after listening to his father Yao Kailei's narration, the father and son sighed. Yao Guanqun pursued closely and asked, "Dad, how did you know Fan Zhengkun?"

Yao Kailei drank another cup of warm water. With the help of his son, he lay down on the hot brick bed and sank into deep memories. After a long while, he began to speak intermittently.

After the main force crossed the river to the west, as the captain, he stayed in the Daan region to gather grain. Although he had gained a lot, there were many dangers, and it was no less than on the battlefield. In fact, it was even more dangerous.

More than ten days later, Ma Hongkui's army, which was known as the 'King of Ning Xia', came back with the soil. After they occupied Da An, they conducted a thorough search and massacre of the wounded members of the Red Army. The team was in extreme danger at all times, and they had to move underground.

However, even though they were in a dangerous and terrifying environment, facing the bloody slaughter that was coming at them at any time, Yao Kailei and his team members did not have the slightest fear of retreating. They faced the difficulties and continued to fight on both sides of the Yellow River.

At the same time, Yao Kailei also secretly contacted the powerful Big Brother Association in an attempt to obtain their help. In that extremely dangerous environment, if he could obtain the help of the Big Brother Association, it would be a brilliant idea.

Elder Brother Association, this secret civil organization that was initially founded in Sichuan, was initially formed by some poor people from the lower class. Later on, it actually developed into an influential underworld gang that was on par with the Hongmen Qing Gang. During the period of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was very popular in the Shaangan region of Sichuan.

Yao Kailei was from Sichuan. He more or less knew a bit about the Jiang Hu Gang's inside information. He secretly believed that if he wanted to complete the mission given to him by his superior, he would need to obtain the support of the local Big Brother Gang at the Jiang Hu Pier in Daan, which was filled with both good and bad people.

Therefore, on a snowy morning, he took a few of his staff members and disguised themselves as businessmen. They bypassed the Ma family's army's inspection and went to Fan Jiadu. As brothers of the Big Brother Association, he requested to meet the Dragon Head Fan Zhengkun.

At this time, after more than a hundred years of management, the Fan Family ferry had already become the upstream of the Yellow River. There was a very large dock between Lan Province and Silver River, and the Fan Family was the highest ruler of this dock ferry.

When the news of the Red Army coming to Da An reached the Fan Family's ferry, Fan Zhengkun did not know the truth. After pondering for a long time, he ordered his men to not act rashly and to not become enemies with the Red Army. He just patiently watched the development of the situation.

Later, the Red Army crossed the river to the west and left. After a huge sigh of relief, he also thought that this army. . . Compared to Ma Hongkui's forces, which had been entrenched in Daan for many years, it was totally different. It was a true revolutionary force that fought for the poor people.

That morning, when Yao Kailei visited, Fan Zhengkun was drinking with his best brother Xu Fu at home. They were talking about the Ma family's army hunting down the injured members of the Red Army for the past few days.

The winter of this year came very early. It was much colder than the previous years. After a few more heavy snowfalls, it became even colder. The Yellow River also had a very rare thin layer of ice. It was very dangerous to sail a boat, so they could only take a break and let their brothers rest for a few days.

Xu Fu told him that Huang Yaoguo led a group of soldiers and found a few injured members of the Red Army who were hiding in the homes of ordinary people. They were escorted to the Yellow River, and after killing them, they threw their corpses into the Yellow River to feed the fish.

This Huang Yaoguo was Huang Weidong's father. Later, in 1949, when Da An was released, as the commander of the Ma family's City Defense Force, he led his troops to organize a battlefield uprising and joined the People's Liberation Army. He made a great contribution to the liberation of Da An.

In 1936, Huang Yaoguo was also a squad leader of the Ma family's army. In the process of capturing the wounded members of the Red Army, due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to platoon leader not long after.

Fan Zhengkun had known Huang Yaoguo for a long time. He clearly remembered that Huang Yaoguo only joined the Ma family's army after he wanted to join Elder Brother's Association but was rejected.

"This kid surnamed Huang, not only did he become the class monitor, he also learned how to kill people. " Fan Zhengkun's face revealed a very disdainful sneer and said in a deep voice.

At this time, the butler sent over a invitation to pay a visit to the dock. He also said that there was a brother who claimed to be from Sichuan who had an urgent matter and wanted to pay a visit to Sir Fan.

After Fan Zhengkun read the invitation, he smiled coldly and said, "You're finally here. " Then, he handed the invitation to Xu Fu and said, "It's my brother. He has been stranded in Da An and he still needs to see me. "

Hence, Yao Kailei walked into the Fan family's courtyard and saw this brother of his, whose name shook both sides of the Yellow River, was the leader of the association. Then, while drinking, he had a very heart-to-heart conversation with him.

The result of this conversation completely changed the difficult and dangerous situation of the team. Yao Kailei was slightly surprised, but he couldn't help but admire Fan Zhengkun's deep sense of righteousness, as well as his forthright magnanimity.

According to Fan Zhengkun, Yao Kailei and all the staff members would join the Big Brother Association in order to escape the pursuit of the Ma family army. However, in reality, they were still very independent and engaged in their own revolutionary work in secret.

Because, from Yao Kailei, Fan Zhengkun could vaguely see the shadow of another person in the past. This person was a man that he respected from the bottom of his heart. He had a very strong will.

This was that Shaanxi person, Old Xie. The first person to plant a red flag and start a revolution in the Water Spring Stronghold. Although he had failed, his heroic spirit had not diminished.

With the protection of his elder brother's guild, Yao Kailei led his team members to work. This made him even more daring and at ease. After escorting many failures, he felt even more reassured. The soldiers of the west army that had returned from Hexi safely sent them to the headquarters of the revolution.

"Back then, without Fan Zhengkun's help, I would not have been able to see the day of the revolution, and I would not have been able to live until today. The Yao family must not forget this great kindness. We must think of a way to repay it.

This was the last sentence that his father left for Yao Guanqun before his death. After saying this sentence, his father fell into a coma. A few days later, when he swallowed his last breath, he did not wake up again.

Twenty years later, on this very cold winter night, when his father talked about the history of the Fan and Yao Families, Yao Guanqun still clearly remembered his father's last words, which rumbled beside his ears.

After a long time, Fan Wenbin finally woke up from this legendary past. He could not help but sigh deeply, and with infinite affection, he said a sentence with emotion. "My grandfather is such a person. "

Yao Guanqun also nodded with deep feelings. After a moment, he asked about Fan Wenbin's recent situation. "Little Fan, I heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble recently? I wonder if it has been resolved?"

Yao Guanqun was very clear about the many things that had happened in Hua Cheng Corporation recently. There were a few times that he wanted to talk to Fan Wenbin and give him some pointers, but after thinking carefully, he held it in. He felt that doing this might give Fan Wenbin a trace of the unpleasant feeling of being looked down upon.

Tonight, the two of them met unexpectedly. Now, taking the opportunity to point out the history of the Fan and Yao families, he saw that Fan Wenbin's expression was very relaxed, so he could not help but ask this question.

Previously, an old friend working at the tax bureau had secretly told Yao Guanqun that the county tax bureau had entered Hucheng Group to investigate the accounts and had received a report. Under the circumstances where the evidence was conclusive, he had come prepared. To be honest, it was very difficult to deal with.

Hearing this, Yao Guanqun became even more worried for Fan Wenbin. He was very clear that if the matter of the financial report fraud was implemented, as the chairman of the company, Fan Wenbin would not be able to escape responsibility.

Seeing Yao Guanqun so concerned about him, Fan Wenbin could not help but feel grateful in his heart. It quickly flowed through his entire body. Looking at the other party, he choked and said, "The accounts have not been settled yet. What will happen in the end? I can't say either.

These few days, the company's accountant, Xu Chang Qin, had been very worried, and had been frowning all day. Yesterday, after Wu Zhenshan and the others had left the company, he had specially looked for Fan Wenbin and cried, saying that she was worried that something big would happen.

What big thing would happen? Fan Wenbin immediately retorted with a stern voice. When he saw that Xu Chang Qin was only crying, he comforted him with a few words. ' Something big has happened, and I, Fan Wenbin, will be the one to bear it. It has nothing to do with anyone. '

'Accountant Xu, just follow Wu Zhenshan's instructions and cooperate with them as much as you can. ' 'Don't worry about anything else. ' Remember, it's best to speak less. Don't say anything that will harm the company's interests, not a single word.

Xu Chang Qin answered, wiped his tears, and left with his head lowered. Fan Wenbin could tell that this woman was afraid, worried that the matter would implicate her. After all, she was the chief accountant of the company, and those false accounts were made by her.

Immediately after, he thought of Li Fan, and a wave of anger involuntarily rose in his heart. He thought to himself, Damn thing, the matter was not completed, and the news of the financial reports falsifying was leaked out again. It's really f * cking hateful.

Actually, the news of the Hua Cheng Corporation's financial reports being falsified was not leaked by Li Fan, but by someone else. On this point, Fan Wenbin had wronged Li Fan and made Li Fan bear the blame.

At this moment, seeing the trace of worry on Fan Wenbin's face, Yao Guanqun understood in his heart that this matter was indeed not a small pressure to this CEO of a listed company who had always been full of courage. Many tall mountains and rivers had rushed over, and it was indeed not worth it to suffer a huge setback in a small ditch.

"Lil Fan, I remember that you once told me about a Zhiqing called Lin Hong. Back then, when you cut the queue, you and your father were in the army's breeding yard, and they fed livestock together for several years. They had a good relationship, didn't they?

Under the illumination of the lights, Yao Guanqun suddenly thought of this Zhiqing called Lin Hong. At this crucial moment, if he could find Lin Hong once, perhaps things might turn for the better.

According to Fan Wenbin's narration, this Lin Hong valued this life of cutting the queue very much. She also had a lot of feelings for those old folks who had helped him in the Fan family.

Yao Guanqun's words reminded Fan Wenbin of a sentence his father, Fan Youmin, had said. "If you encounter any difficulties, find a person. His name is Lin Hong, and he will do his best to help you. "

However, this person called Lin Hong has already retired. Even if he wanted to help him, he wouldn't be of much use. The saying 'people go out to drink tea' was very true, especially in the official circles.

"Lin Hong has already retired. I'm afraid that if I look for him again, it would be useless. " After a moment, Fan Wenbin said the worries in his heart, "It's better not to look for him. "

Seeing that Lin Hong had already retired, Yao Guanqun was slightly stunned, then he laughed at himself and casually said, "Since he has already retired, it's good not to look for him, then forget it. "

When he said this, he thought that Fan Wenbin had spoken the truth. Nowadays, people were very realistic. When one was in a position, he had the authority, and he had a fawning face. When he was no longer there, his face immediately changed. Like a dog's face, he turned ruthless and changed all kinds of things.

"Teacher Yao, in your opinion, how should we deal with the tax bureau's inspection?" Tonight, at the company's entrance, the moment he met Yao Guanqun, Fan Wenbin had this thought.

He knew that Yao Guanqun was very intelligent. It could even be said that he had the ability to turn the rotten into the magical. Last time, for the sake of Li Fan's matter, the plan of 'borrowing a knife to kill' that he set up was very brilliant.

Yao Guanqun glanced at the other party but did not say anything. He furrowed his brows and began to ponder silently. For a moment, the room was filled with a sense of oppression. On this winter night, it was very solemn.

Ever since the divorce with Zhang Yuqin, Yao Guanqun was the only person living in the antique courtyard left by his parents. Usually, very few people came to visit, making it seem very lonely and lonely.

It was already very late at night, and the wind was no longer strong. Snowflakes were drifting in the sky. A very mysterious white veil was draped over Da An, this ancient little county by the Yellow River.

After a long while, Yao Guanqun said, "Can you look for Chen Yan Qing? He is the deputy county head and has real power in his hands. Let's see if he can help you get through this crisis. "
