Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 508 Self-determination

After hearing what his father said, Ning Wei quickly understood that this meant he wanted to use him.

Now that his father has spoken, his mother can’t stop him anymore.

He couldn't hide the joy on his face and asked his father impatiently.

"Dad, what do you need me to do?"

Ning Wanli took him out and talked to him.

"Now go gather everyone you can. Two tasks. First, stop the people from Gong Ge Hui in our courtyard in the West City and don't let them pass through the front gate. Second, find a way to go to the South City and disrupt the people from the factories that are about to enter the city!"

Ning Wei heard it clearly. After nodding to his father, he immediately ran out of the yard.

But his impatient temper still needs his father to control it.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Ning Wei hurriedly stopped again and turned to look at his father with a puzzled expression.

Ning Wanli's face no longer had the decisive and resolute expression he had when he gave the order just now. Instead, it was replaced by an indescribable look of confusion.

He walked up to Ning Wei, patted him on the shoulder, and then spoke with concern.

"Be careful! If you can do something, do it. If you can't, that's okay. Just protect yourself!"

Frankly speaking, this is not something a mature Zheng Zhijia should say at all, but then again, isn’t Ning Wanli a military man?

Besides, I feel a little guilty for not taking good care of my youngest son over the years.

Therefore, even Ning Wanli, who always said that military orders were above everything else, was no longer as tough as before.

The Ning family, it seems that they are only one step away from becoming a truly qualified Zheng Zhi family. However, this step is not so easy to take, whether from the perspective of emotions, the situation, or personal gains and losses!

When Ning Wei heard his father actually say such words to him, he felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart.

After nodding to his father, Ning Wei spoke.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm sure I'll be fine. I'll carry out the task you gave me resolutely!"

Ning Wanli nodded and waved to Ning Wei, signaling him to leave.

Ning Wei naturally didn't stay for long, turned around and walked away.

Inside the courtyard gate, Ning Wanli stood there, staring at his son's gradually receding back, and was lost in thought for a moment.

It wasn't until someone called him from behind that he came to his senses.

"Director Ning, President Lu wants you to go to his office!"

When Ning Wanli turned around, he saw Xiao Zhouzhou Shoutian, who was also Mr. Lu's confidant. Since they were all on the same front now, there was certainly nothing to be suspicious about.

"Okay, I'll go over now. Xiao Zhou, take someone to keep watch at the door. If anything happens, let us know immediately. Things are different now!"

Zhou Shoutian nodded vigorously, then called the people he brought with him to stand at the door. Many of them even brought guns.

Needless to say, this action must have been done under orders.

Naturally, the only one who can command a team is Mr. Lu.

The situation is indeed different from the year before last. That time, when people came, we didn't even dare to stop them.

As the saying goes, I am the fish on the chopping board!

But today, if they dare to come again, don’t blame us for being rude.

President Lu has already sent out the letter that Ning Wanli brought back.

As for who it will be delivered to, that is not Ning Wanli's concern.

After all, just as Mr. Lu said to him at the time, it is better not to know the content of the letter. Similarly, the current situation is that it is better not to know where the letter is going!

Although Ning Wanli didn't know who Mr. Lu's backup was, he understood that whoever could get the letter must have the ability to make the letter appear where it should appear.

It is necessary to maximize the lethality of this letter.

So, right now, the most important thing for them is not to compromise or give in.

Success or failure depends on this moment.

It was a desperate situation. If the other party was not defeated this time, one could imagine how difficult their future would be.

If you manage to pin the opponent down, what will this intense confrontation mean? In the end, it might even be counted as an achievement.

So, is it too much to just use a gun?

..............................

The situation in Sijiu City seems to have reached a tense state on the verge of breaking out.

Even the people on the street could sense this tension, not to mention the more sensitive participants.

In front of the gate of Courtyard No. 2 in Shen District, the patience of both sides was almost exhausted.

Wu Yuan, with many people from the isolation hospital behind him, began to look towards Gao Sanxi, Yuan Wu and the others.

Feng Sanyuan, who was staying in the outermost circle, left here again on the pretext of feeling sick in the stomach on the way, saying that he was going to find a toilet and went out alone.

He still called, but this time, Feng Sanyuan called Ning Yuan directly.

However, there is no telephone in Fang Village where Ning Yuan is located. It is not impossible to connect a line, but the current conditions do not allow it and it is too difficult because it is all in mountainous areas.

Therefore, Feng Sanyuan's call was made to Zhang Desheng's armed forces department.

The phone number Ning Yuan left for Feng Sanyuan was this one.

I also told him directly that as long as the call is connected, no matter what the matter is, he can first talk to the person who answers the phone. It is absolutely reliable.

So, after the call was connected, Feng Sanyuan didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

"Hello, is this the Ling'annan County Armed Forces Department?"

"It's here. Who are you looking for?"

The person who answered the phone was Zhang Desheng, Ning Yuan's uncle Zhang.

It wasn't a coincidence. He should have been the one to answer the phone at this time.

After all, the phone was in his office and it was working hours.

"I'm from the Annan County Armed Forces Department. My name is Zhang Desheng. What can I do for you?"

Zhang Desheng saw the notification that the extension number was transferred to the incoming call, and the call was actually from the old city.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be perfunctory about this. After answering the phone carefully, he hurriedly asked.

Feng Sanyuan on the other end of the phone understood what was said, but did not respond to Zhang Desheng's question. Instead, he spoke directly and gave a general account of the situation that Ning Yuan's family was about to face in Sijiu City.

Zhang Desheng on the other end of the phone was stunned.

He couldn't participate in a fight of this level. The only thing he could do was to inform Ning Yuan of this little news as soon as possible and let Ning Yuan make his own decision!

(This chapter is to be continued! I will continue tomorrow! I am so sleepy. Thanks to my brothers for the small gifts. Hu Zi saw it in the background. Thank you!!)

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Desheng didn't stop for a moment. He directly called a team of militiamen, took guns and followed him into the mountains, heading straight for Fang Village.

Yes, for this kind of thing, every minute early is worth a minute.

Now, it is not only Ning Yuan's father who is in trouble in Sijiu City. For Zhang Desheng, that is his former boss and his most solid connection in Sijiu City.

This level of superior-subordinate relationship cannot be cleared up just because you stand idly by in this incident. It will directly leave a mark on each of your careers.

There is no choice but to stay in a chariot and go all the way to the end.

So Zhang Desheng immediately took his men to Fang Village. When passing by the county party committee compound where Fan Lei and his colleagues were, he went into the compound alone.

Not long after, Fan Lei also had a nervous look on his face and hurried out of the yard with Zhang Desheng.

Accompanying them was Fan Lei's secretary Xiao Hou, but Secretary Hou did not follow Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei to Fang Village. Instead, he turned and headed towards the County Youth League Office.

It's just a matter of preparing for a rainy day. We need to open up the necessary roads first. Things can wait for people, but people can't wait for things!

More than an hour later, Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei stopped with their men at the wooden bridge outside Fang Village.

There's no way, there are four or five people guarding the other side of the wooden bridge.

But fortunately, no jokes were made. After all, the guys guarding here followed Ning Yuan into the county every now and then.

Of course, I am familiar with Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei.

So, after seeing Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei on the other side of the bridge, he immediately sent someone out to pick these people up.

This was not the first time that Fan Lei and Zhang Desheng came to Fang Village. They had been here several times over such a long period of time.

Although the two of them didn't say it, they were still satisfied with Ning Yuan, the son of their old boss.

The subsequent grain for the educated youth was contributed by them to the county, and they made a great success here.

It didn't give them anything to worry about. Moreover, the monthly output of the gold mine in the back mountain was enough to allow Fan Lei and Zhang Desheng to take their Zheng Zhi careers to the next level.

Yes, they naturally did not dare to keep the share of the gold mines that were handed over, and they had to hand it over to the higher level.

Only by knowing how to do things can you live longer!

The person on duty at the entrance of the village was Tian Erliang. After bringing the people over, Tian Erliang took the initiative to step forward and wanted to take Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei into the village to find Ning Yuan.

Fan Lei and the others naturally had nothing to say. After following Tian Erliang into the village, they went all the way to Ning Yuan and their residence.

At this time, Ning Yuan and his men were not hunting in the mountains, but mining in the gold mines. Everyone was treated equally and there was nothing to say.

It is precisely because Ning Yuan sets an example that the overall situation of this base camp has always been good, and all the educated youth, both male and female, are very respectful of Ning Yuan.

After arranging Fan Lei, Zhang Desheng and others to sit down in the open space of the meeting place in the center of the village, Tian Erliang hurried towards the mine in the back mountain.

Not long after, Ning Yuan, Fatty Fan, Zheng Tong, Zou Cheng and a few other people who were more capable of taking on more trouble came jogging over with Tian Erliang.

After all, these two people came here in person, and they came directly without saying hello in advance.

Thinking that there was something important to inform, Ning Yuan naturally did not dare to slack off and quickly called these buddies over.

As soon as I entered the venue, I saw Fan Lei and Zhang Desheng talking to each other with serious expressions.

On the way here, Zhang Desheng had already told Fan Lei about what happened in Sijiu City.

The two of them have been thinking about how to tell Ning Yuan, and they are even thinking about whether they can do something to help. After all, if the old leader is doing well, they, as old subordinates, will definitely be able to keep up and make progress together!

Ning Yuan wiped his face with a wet towel and walked quickly towards Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Fan, why did you two suddenly come here? I haven't had time to prepare anything yet!"

After greeting the two of them with a smile, Ning Yuan sat down next to them.

When Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei saw Ning Yuan finally coming over, they stopped talking and looked at Ning Yuan together.

"What are you preparing for? I came to you this time because I really have something urgent to tell you. Let's find a quiet place!"

After patting Ning Yuan on the shoulder, Fan Lei looked around and then spoke to Ning Yuan.

Zhang Desheng meant the same thing, but since Fan Lei had already said it, there was no need for him to repeat it. He just nodded towards Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan saw that the two of them looked a little serious, so he immediately put away his smile and quickly stood up.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fan, please come with me. Let's go home and talk!"

As he spoke, he walked ahead and took Zhang Desheng, Fan Lei, Zheng Tong, Fatty Fan, Zou Cheng and others with him, and walked towards home together.

There was no one at home, and Meng Qing was busy at the alchemy furnace.

So there is no need to say hello or be polite.

After everyone sat down, Ning Yuan took out some wild fruits from his home to entertain everyone.

"Come on, Uncle Fan, Uncle Zhang, have a try!"

Zhang Desheng didn't hesitate and just picked up a pear and started eating it. It took him almost an hour to get here, and he was indeed a little thirsty.

Fan Lei waved his hand and spoke directly to Ning Yuan.

"Dayuan, there's a call from Sijiucheng. Something happened over there!"

Ning Yuan was actually not surprised to hear this news. The reason why these two people rushed here from the county was most likely something that happened in Sijiu City.

So after nodding, Ning Yuan continued to look at Fan Lei without interrupting.

After Zhang Desheng took a few bites of the pear and moistened his throat, he just took over the conversation.

"It's Gong Ge Hui. They brought people directly to your courtyard. They said their target is two families in your courtyard. One is your family, and the other is the Fan family!"

Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan stood up from their chairs almost at the same time, and asked Zhang Desheng nervously.

"what happened?"

Of course Fatty Fan was nervous, because they were the only family with the surname Fan in that yard.

In fact, Zhang Desheng only had a vague understanding of this matter. When Feng Sanyuan called him, he only said that they were going to take action against the Ning and Fan families.

The cause and effect were only briefly mentioned.

After Zhang Desheng briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, he spoke to Ning Yuan.

"The water's deep over there, and we can't do anything. But if you need anything from us, just ask. Your Uncle Fan and I have to do our bit for our old leader!"
