Chapter 72
The smile disappeared in the blink of an eye. When he sat down on the single sofa, he looked cold again, except that his Adam's apple was a little red from his pinching.
"What do you want from me?" he asked Zhang Lan.
"It's something." Zhang Lan smiled twice despite her heavy makeup, and then she remembered something and said to Xie Wen, "By the way, Bingyangzi, is your Xiping Garden about to open?"
The meaning of this statement is obvious.
But Xie Wen said calmly: "No hurry, I'll sit down for a while."
Zhang Lan: "..."
This person had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and Zhang Lan couldn't just stare at them here. He simply broke the jar and got straight to the point: "That's right, Sister Ling that day... Oh, Zhang Biling and her son all praised me for your performance in the cage after they came out of the cage. It's quite surprising."
"Sister Ling and I are close. Firstly, I want to thank you. Secondly, I also want to invite you."
Wenshi: "What are you inviting?"
"Rotation. It is a must-do in our industry. That is, different people are responsible for different areas every day. In this way, if there is a cage somewhere, we can know it as soon as possible and remove it as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from being implicated. I When I met you that night, I was on duty.”
This sounds like a new word when you hear it, but in essence it is new wine in old bottles.
In the earliest days, judges always relied on their own will and abilities to find, enter and release cages. If we meet, we'll cooperate; if we don't, we'll do it on our own.
Later, some people began to put the cart before the horse, and the focus was no longer on unlocking the cage, but on cultivating through unlocking the cage. Gradually, I became aware of occupying territory and competing for it.
But those are all vague, and only some people will not put them in the light.
Later, individual families became more and more powerful, and the secret competition changed from a certain person to a certain family. Once a group is involved, "competition" evolves into "coordination."
The so-called coordination certainly seems to have benefits - for example, each has its own piece of land, so there will be no overlap or anything missed.
But the situation in each place is different after all. So as time went by, those who still wanted to fight for it no longer focused on a certain place, but on the power of coordination.
Whichever company is the most powerful has the final say.
Rotation is obviously a concept created by the Zhang family.
He had seen this kind of thing several times when he heard about it, and even a new word wouldn't fool him.
This is why his lineage rarely has contact with other families.
Wen Shi's eyes swept across the long scroll of famous genealogy, and finally landed on the portrait of the Patriarch with red flowers and green willows next to him.
The light from the yard passes through the window panes and just falls on the picture, reflecting the light. The appearance of the person in the painting became blurry, and when I heard it, I suddenly thought of the snow-white and bright red robes in my dream...
If the person in the dream was still there and hearing these things now, I don’t know if it would feel ridiculous.
Zhang Lan was still explaining: "Of course the rotation is not just limited to the Zhang family, every family is involved. Every living judge is included in it. No one can be left out, so I came to find you."
She felt that what she said was fair, and she would not be overly enthusiastic, because being too enthusiastic would be false. At the same time, it can convey a meaning to these two brothers: Mingputu may not recognize you two, but we do.
Anyone who hears this would be a little touched, right? Zhang Lan thought.
She saw that the boy named Xia Qiao was already a little moved, and his expression changed. She was very satisfied, and then turned to look at the handsome guy named... who didn't know his name, and found that the other guy wasn't looking at her at all, but was looking at the wall.
Zhang Lan: "?"
Can the wall look better than her? ? ?
"So what do you two brothers think, do you want to join?" She coughed and focused her eyes on the moved Xia Qiao. As a result, Xia Qiao blinked and silently turned to look at his brother.
Then his brother looked away and said two words: "No more."
Well, my painted mouth was in vain.
Aunt Zhang said in her heart.
She wanted to add a few more words.
As a result, the handsome guy spoke again: "You have a lot of family members, so you can take your turn. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Lan: "..."
As soon as I finished saying this, I heard someone laughing next to me, low in the throat and blurry.
He turned around and saw Xie Wen standing up from the sofa. With a smile in his eyes, he said to him: "Okay, I won't listen anymore. I'm tired. It's getting late. I'll go to Xiping." Yuan, something happened."
Zhang Lanxin said, why the hell did you leave early? !
When Xie Wen raised his eyes, he stopped smiling, glanced at the famous genealogy chart with a calm expression, and walked towards the door. Lao Mao and Dazhao also stood up, said hello and followed him.
"What are you doing with me?" Xie asked.
Lao Mao: "?"
Big and small Zhao were also confused and said in unison: "Go to the store."
Xie Wen looked at them quietly.
After a few seconds, Dazhao suddenly said "Oh--" in a drawn-out tone, silently stepped back, sat down next to Zhang Lan again, and smiled at her.
Zhang Lan couldn't stay any longer.
In the final analysis, they are just two newcomers and juniors. No matter how unpredictable their level is, she can't afford to be so impatient and just mention it. Do not participate in pulling down.
She stood up, said hello to Wen Shi and Xia Qiao, and was ready to leave. When she reached into her bag to get her car keys, she pinched a charm.
