The memories about the predecessor are not all gathered in front of Zhang Yan. They will only appear for Zhang Yan to know when certain key information points are encountered.
Regarding the name Xiao Chongwen, Zhang Yan could not recall much before, except that he knew that his predecessor's death penalty was inseparable from this person.
"Xiao Chongwen? What are they here for?"
There were three other people with Xiao Chongwen, namely Mashan, Liu Chang and Yang Lin. These four people were once "good friends" of Zhang Yan's predecessor, had frequent contacts, and played a key role in fueling many major decisions of Zhang Yan's predecessor.
For example, after Zhang Yan's predecessor took over the Zhang family business, he chose to sell some fertile land in his family and replace it with two shops in Langyuan City. It was Xiao Chongwen and the four of them who made the connection.
And in those memories about "how he was convicted", although Zhang Yan's predecessor did not know the specific details, and in the end he was beaten into submission and confessed, but the day before the incident, he remembered clearly that he was He was invited to drink by Xiao Chongwen and others. When he woke up, he was in a dilapidated and unfamiliar room. Before he could figure out the situation, he was captured by the government officials who broke in. After that, he went through a set of procedures in the government office. He became a death row prisoner for arson and murder.
The whole thing would feel wrong to anyone, let alone Zhang Yan at this moment. This was also the reason why he asked Lin Zedong to help take care of his home when he was in Yubei Mountain, because Langyuan City was not safe for the Zhang family.
No matter what Zhang Yan was thinking, the Zhang family, who felt that they had a backbone in the family, didn't think much about it. They immediately told the story about Zhou Cang's previous visit and driving away the four Xiao Chongwen people who had been pestering the family. In addition to letting Zhang Yan remember Zhou Cang's kindness and find an opportunity to return the gift, he also hoped that Zhang Yan could clearly see the dirty virtues of the four Xiao Chongwen people and did not want Zhang Yan to be with those people anymore.
"Yan'er, don't blame my mother for talking too much. Xiao Chongwen and the others are really not good people. When something happened to you before, my mother felt that they had something to do with it, but she couldn't explain it. After that, they said they were your "good friends" but they never came to visit you. I have seen it, and later I found out that you had exchanged military honors for fertile farmland, so you came to try to distract us. After being rejected by us, you have been pestering us and talking frivolously to your sister. If Mr. Zhou had not come forward in time, your elder brother would have fought with them. .
So Yan'er! You have escaped death this time, please don't have anything to do with them anymore, our whole family can't bear it anymore! "
Wang Lanping's tears started to fall again as she spoke, and she grabbed Zhang Yan's arm with both hands, fearing that her second son would become friends with those bad people, in which case the Zhang family would really be hopeless.
Zhang Yan patted his mother's hand to reassure her, and said warmly: "Mom, don't worry, my son is not stupid. I thought a lot about that incident later, and the strangeness was too obvious. Xiao Chongwen and the four of them will definitely give it a try. I was tricked. It must have been for the two shops at home. How could such a beast be worthy of being my friend?
I had this in mind when I asked General Manager Lin to take care of my family. "
boom! Zhang Shun slammed the table hard. When his second brother said that there was something fishy about his previous conviction, he finally let out a sigh of relief. His younger brother was indeed not the villain who committed the murder, but those four bastards Xiao Chongwen Sure enough, it has something to do with it.
"Bullshit! I knew there was something wrong with them!"
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry. You already said those people are bullies. There's no point in getting angry with them. And if they are persistent in their evil intentions, then we should pay for the things they took from our house with profit." Just bring them all back.”
"Yan'er, don't do anything stupid!" Although Wang Lanping was happy that her second son had finally seen Xiao Chongwen and the others for what they were, but there was something in those words that seemed to mean that she was going to end things with Xiao Chongwen and the others, so she unconsciously became worried. . I was afraid of the turmoil at home, so I just wanted to be stable, and I really didn’t dare to mess with it.
Zhang Yan looked at the concerned eyes around him, and he suddenly enjoyed this emotional bond. Family love is indeed something that is difficult to let go of.
"Mom, don't worry. The most important thing for our family right now is that you two are living well. I won't sacrifice our family's stable life to a few beasts who can't stand up. But the things that were taken away from our family must also be I have my own plan to get it back, mother, so you don’t have to worry."
Zhang Yan spoke very steadily, and his confidence was so strong that it infected everyone in the Zhang family sitting around. It seems that Xiao Chongwen's bullies are as worthless as those native chickens and dogs in front of Zhang Yan today, and what the Zhang family has lost will surely be regained.
The Zhang family would not know that the "Zhang Er" in front of them at this time is no longer the person they were once so familiar with. After the soul changes, the only thing left is the physical body and the blood and family ties that are constantly involved with the physical body.
As a heir who came through time with the Immortal Artifact Wanxiang Pearl from the Longhu Mountain Town, Zhang Yan never thought that he would be picked on in a mere Langyuan City. He will eventually get back the Zhang family's things, with interest. Not only Xiao Chongwen's idiots, but also the black hands hiding behind them, he will also kill them all.
...
That night, on Mangrove Street, where the flower houses gather in Langyuan City, there were five people sitting around in a wing room of the newly opened "Yue Ying Fang" less than half a year ago. Among them, four people with fawning faces were members of the Zhang family. I will never forget Xiao Chongwen, Ma Shan, Liu Chang and Yang Lin.
Sitting in the middle is a young man, less than thirty years old, very thin, with a pale face, and a jade crown on his head. Although his brocade robe is luxurious, it looks empty because he is too thin and does not look good. This person is Wu Qingling, the only son of Wu Yuan, the political official of Langyuan City.
Whether doing business or serving as an official in Langyuan City, no one does not know the name of Wu Qingling. He is a notoriously domineering playboy and a trouble that most people in Langyuan City avoid.
Wu Qingling has a nickname, "Zheng Erguan", or "Second Master". This means that in Langyuan City, Wu Qingling's father Wu Yuan is the most effective person in speaking, and Wu Qingling is the second most effective person. Although the meaning is unclear, Wu Qingling's importance in Langyuan City can also be seen.
"Have you been playing for money in a venue recently?" Wu Qingling saw that the wine had been drunk for three rounds. She waved her hand and cleared out all the singers in the room, leaving one of her guards standing beside her and preparing a conversation. Let’s get down to business today.
"Hehe, to be honest with you, Mr. Wu, money has been tight recently. We haven't been to the venue for a long time, and we are worried about causing trouble to you."
"Trouble? Didn't I tell you? If you don't have any money, come to me to get it. Why are you so out of sight?" As he said this, he waved to the guard and asked the guard to hand over a palm-sized box.
"Here are some money tickets, you can use them. If you don't have enough, come and ask me for more."
