Chapter 397 The Circular Road

The beautiful Rongcheng is separated by a Qing River to two parts. Along the Qing River line, they are relatively prosperous areas of Rongcheng. The Jiangbin Road built along the river has always been full of traffic, just like the water in the Qing River, flowing endlessly.

In Rongcheng District, there are eleven steel and concrete bridges spanning the Qingjiang River, which reconnects the two sides of the straits. These bridges are the transportation hub of Rongcheng, and the traffic flow on each bridge is very large every day.

But there are exceptions. One of the bridges is always deserted. On the four-lane deck in both directions, there are only a handful of cars passing through every day.

Zeng Yi was in this strange place at this time. After returning from the capital to Rongcheng, he arrived here directly from the airport. When the car turned from Jiangbin Road to the bridge, it would make people feel like he was going to another city. But when he looked back, the vehicles and pedestrians on Jiangbin Road were still flocking to each other.

This is where Qingjiang changes direction. Qingjiang turns a big arc here, so a prominent place is formed within the arc.

Above this prominent place, there is an ancient building in all directions, very eye-catching, called Zhenjiang Tower. It was built a thousand years ago and has been restored many times. It still stands by the river, waiting to protect the water of the Qingjiang River. Around Zhenjiang Tower is a park with green trees and winding paths. Zhenjiang Tower is located in the center of the park and is the first choice for Rongcheng people to watch the river and enjoy the water.

Since it is a park, there will be no shortage of people. The reason why those cars are unwilling to come here is because the road on the river is a paper road. You can't go anywhere after you come in. If you take a walk around, you have to return the same way. People living in Rongcheng have all come to Zhengjiang Tower and have seen this strange road. Some people have expressed their opinions before, thinking that this paper road is too unreasonable and has low utilization rate, which is a huge waste of road resources. However, no matter how much you think, the road remains unchanged for decades. People in Rongcheng will get used to it over time.

Xu Li parked the car at the entrance of the park, and Zeng Yi pushed the door and walked down, indicating that Xu Li didn't have to follow him anymore.

Entering the park, Zeng Yi walked through the bamboo forest and saw a lotus pond appear. A corridor built on the water surface leads to the center of the lotus pond.

There is an octagonal pavilion in the center of the Hehuā Pond. At this time, more than a dozen people sat in it, some were enjoying the cool air and chatting. There was a stone table in the center of the hall. Two old men were playing chess on the stone table. Five or six chess-watching chess stand next to it, pointing fingers from time to time, while kindly reminding, he also expressed his own opinions.

At this time, Zhang Jiexiong was standing by the pavilion to pay attention to the movements inside, while also paying attention to everything around him vigilantly. On the curved corridor, five or six people were taking pictures, some were fishing and some were making phone calls, but if you observe carefully, you will find that these people are inadvertently flowing with vigor.

Seeing Zeng Yi coming, Zhang Jiexiong led the leader slightly, and said hello.

Zeng Yi nodded, then entered the pavilion, then stood by the stone table, and acted as a spectator watching chess.

"General!" At this time, Boss Zhai shouted "Car" and directly attacked the opponent's tilt, laughing and said, "The overall situation is decided!"

The old man opposite stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally sighed. It seemed that he was too late to turn things around. The people watching the chess around him kept shaking their heads, and they could not save them if they died!

"I am willing to accept the loss and take the chips!" Mr. Zhai's big hand reached directly in front of the other party.

There was an old-fashioned hood on the stone table. The old man opposite picked up the hat, handed the last egg inside to Old Zhai's hand, then put the hat on his head, stood up and said, "I won't put it down, I won't put it down, there are three more eggs today!"

Old Zhai smiled and put the eggs in a basket beside his feet, and said, "Old Liu, will you come tomorrow?"

For half a month, Old Liu brought three eggs to the park every day to play chess. He has never seen an egg again. He felt sorry for his eggs, but he rarely met a chess master like Mr. Zhai. His hands were itchy. After thinking about it, he said, "Come on!"

"I'm embarrassed to collect your eggs every day!" Mr. Zhai laughed loudly. "Eat eggs every meal, and the little nanny at home was injured!"

Old Liu blew his beard and said, "I will beat you tomorrow. I have figured out your path!"

"It's not that I'm talking big, but you're so stinky. If you bring a few eggs over, I'll let you eat a few eggs!" Mr. Zhai laughed and began to put on the chessboard again and said, "Come on, who else can I put it? I'll prepare to have an egg banquet tonight, and there are still a few shortfalls!"

As he said that, Mr. Zhai looked up at the chess-watching people, and then he saw Zeng Yi.

"I'll do it!" Someone who watched the chess immediately expressed his desire to join the battle. When Lao Liu gave up his seat, he couldn't wait to sit down. Like Lao Liu, he also put down a hat on the table, which contained three eggs, and said, "Today, I'm real, Lao Zhai, don't have to let me have a horse!"

"I won't let you play anymore!" Old Zhai stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and said, "I have to go back, let's go tomorrow!"

"Old Zhai, I brought all these eggs!" The man refused to give up. Finally, Old Man Liu made a place. Now it was his turn to be satisfied. How could he not play? "Old Man Zhai, you won't want to run away if you win the egg! This is not possible. You have to give everyone a chance to make a living!"

Mr. Zhai smiled and pointed at Zeng Yi, saying, "It's so easy to win your eggs! Did you see that the real master is here, I'll go home with the master!"

Everyone in the pavilion was familiar with Mr. Zhai, so he asked, "Old Zhai, who is this young man?"

Mr. Zhai smiled faintly and said, "It's my grandson! How about it, be a talented person!"

Zhang Jiexiong listened carefully. He found that when Mr. Zhai said this, his face was quite proud, which surprised Zhang Jiexiong. Mr. Zhai didn't seem to be joking. He didn't treat Zeng Yi as an outsider!

Everyone laughed and said, "Your grandson is pretty good-looking. You can barely be considered a handsome talent. But no matter how you look at it, you don't look like someone who can play chess!"

"You are glad. If my Xiaoyi ends up, you will just open a chicken farm and raise a thousand old hens, which is not enough to lose!" Old Zhai laughed and said with his back: "Okay, OK, I'll go home. You guys continue to play, I'll come tomorrow!"

Everyone was just joking. When their grandson came to visit, could they really not let anyone go? To be honest, everyone was still a little envious. Old Man Zhai said that he was so happy to live. His son and grandson were busy making money. He might not meet each other all year round. There was not even a person at home, otherwise he wouldn’t have to go to the park to play chess and walk birds, chat with outsiders to relieve boredom.

Mr. Zhai walked forward with a smile, Zeng Yi was carrying Mr. Zhai's basket behind him, containing seven or eight eggs, which were the spoils seized by Mr. Zhai today. For the spoils, Mr. Zhai still retains the old traditions of the past. Anything that is eaten into his mouth will never be spit out. Even if it is just an egg, as long as it is a spoil, it must be taken back.

As soon as the two left, the plainclothes that had just lingered around the pavilion disappeared.

Mr. Zhai did not leave the park. Instead, he walked deep into the park and passed through a forest. There was a small round arch on the wall of the park, with a sign hanging on it: "Tourists stop!". There was a small booth next to the door, guarding two strong men, and the red armband of the "park administrator" was also worn on his arms.

After passing through this small arch, there was still a small garden inside. He turned around and passed through several doors. Finally, he came to an iron gate. At the door, there were guards in military uniforms, carrying gun boxes around his waist. When he saw Mr. Zhai, the guards stood attentively saluted.

Even Rongcheng people who come to the park for a walk every day, many people don’t know that there is such a place deep in the park. This is a sanatorium in the military region. It has been built for decades. It is a bit like Yulong Villa in Nanjiang Province. It is usually only used to receive the chiefs of the army. The environment is beautiful and ancient trees are towering. A wall is separated by a wall. It is the most suitable place for viewing Qingjiang River. It is a good place to be quiet in the midst of chaos.

It is precisely because of the existence of this sanatorium that there is a strange paper path outside. It is not a defect during the design, but a design intentionally, with the purpose of not wanting people to come and disturb the tranquility here. In the sanatorium, there are actually multiple exits that can directly lead to prosperous places. If connected, the paper path will immediately become a busy transportation hub. It is just for safety reasons. These exits are usually closed and will only be opened in emergencies.

After Mr. Zhai arrived in Nanjiang, he first went to Nanyun County and lived here forever. Now he has completely adapted to life here. He also met a large group of old guys playing chess and walking birds in the park. This is completely different from his living conditions in the capital.

"Sit! sit!"

When Mr. Zhai entered the room, he walked directly towards his recliner and sat inside to rest.

Zhang Jiexiong went to serve tea inside, while Zeng Yi took the basket and wanted to put away the eggs inside. On the cabinet against the wall of the house, three small baskets were placed side by side, and Zeng Yi put the eggs into the basket one by one.

Mr. Zhai is very good at playing chess. Every day, he goes out to play chess with others. He can always win about twenty eggs a day. Then he puts it in these three small baskets. When it is filled, he will send it to a nearby primary school, saying that he wants to add breakfast to the children. Old people have old joy, which is now a fun in Mr. Zhai’s life.

After putting the eggs in, Zeng Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Mr. Zhai, and asking about Mr. Zhai’s condition in life and physical condition.

After asking these questions, Zeng Yi said, "Haohui is about to get out of the army. I have been to the capital these two days."

Mr. Zhai Weiwei led the leader, and he decided that this matter was decided. All descendants of the Zhai family would have to go out of the army and go to the battlefield. This is a law of the Zhai family. If you want to withstand the Zhai family's gun, it is no exception.

"There is no problem with Haohui's current physical condition!" Zeng Yi said that it was actually after he came to this conclusion that Mr. Zhai decided to let Zhai Haohui go down. Now he is just confirming it again so that Mr. Zhai can rest assured.

Mr. Zhai said: "I always think that suffering is good for him!"

"But there is a new situation!" Zeng Yi looked at Old Zhai and said, "I thought about it and decided to tell Old Zhai you."

Old Zhai raised his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what's the situation?" Although his expression remained unchanged, Old Zhai's heart still raised a little, thinking that it wasn't that what happened to Haohui's body?

"During his time at the General Staff, Haohui had been dating a girl named Xiaoxiao. Do you know about this, Mr. Zhai?" Zeng Yi asked.

Mr. Zhai said "hmm" and then picked up the teacup, which was a positive response to Zeng Yi's question.

Zhang Jiexiong, who was standing aside, raised his eyelids slightly at this time, looked at Zeng Yi, then lowered his eyelids again, thinking that Zeng Yi was usually very smart, but why was he confused today? How could he take the initiative to raise this matter!

Behind Zhai Haohui, he was following the guards, and no matter what he did, he could hardly escape the third pair of eyes. Zhang Jiexiong had known about Xiaoxiao for a long time, but he had never taken the initiative to tell Mr. Zhai! Because after all, this is Zhai Haohui's invisible si. To put it more, this is the Zhai family's own family affairs. Even as Mr. Zhai's confidant, Zhang Jiexiong knew his identity as an outsider and was not convenient for him to intervene.

It was just when Mr. Zhai asked about this situation, Zhang Jiexiong briefly mentioned that, so Mr. Zhai knew about this matter, but it was only because he knew that there was Xiaoxiao, and he was not clear about the detailed situation.

At this moment, Zeng Yi took the initiative to mention it, which made Zhang Jiexiong feel worried for Zeng Yi.

It is true that Mr. Zhai likes Zeng Yi very much. Just now, Mr. Zhai joked in front of everyone that Zeng Yi is his grandson. However, one code is one code, Mr. Zhai can not treat you as an outsider, but you have to know your own weight. In this matter, it is especially related to Mr. Zhai's grandson. How can Mr. Zhai distinguish between inside and outside?

If one is not good, it will be backfired.

"I went to the capital this time and saw Xiaoxiao!" Zeng Yi approached Zhai's elder at this time and said, "Looking at her angry expression, she should have it!"

Although his voice was low, Zhang Jiexiong still heard it. He was shocked at that time. He didn't know about this!

The expression on Old Zhai's face remained unchanged. He put down the teacup and asked, "Can you be sure?"

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "I dare not joke about this kind of thing! Is there anything? It is still easy to tell from the point of view!"

Old Zhai's eyebrows sank, and he sat in the recliner and kept still, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Jiexiong disappeared from the living room silently at this time. At this time, he knew that he should choose to avoid it. The next thing was probably not what he should listen to or could interfere.

After a while, Old Zhai asked, "Does Haohui know about this?"
