Afraid of what might happen, even the wily Yi Xiangrui frowned when he heard the heavy knock on the door.

If you knock on the door without ringing the bell, the person who comes will be unkind and the person who is kind will not come.

Xiang Tianliang knew that not many people dared to knock on Yi's door, and knocking on the door was even rarer.

As the leading authority in the national public security system, Yi Xiangrui's status is lofty and stable, and even successive senior leaders value him.

The wooden door of Yi Xiangrui's house will only be knocked on in two situations: when an emergency occurs and Yi Xiangrui needs to take action, and when a senior leader who is serving or has retired comes to visit.

Xiang Tianliang thought smugly, except for the above two situations, he dared to knock on the door. Although he got scolded every time, Xiang Tianliang was not used to ringing the doorbell. Every time he came back here, he would dare to knock the door loudly if he didn't open the door in time. Bang sound.

Needless to say, the person who made this knock on the door must not be a good person.

Yi Xiangrui winked at Tianliang and got up to open the door himself.

Xiang Tianliang also understood the situation and hurriedly pulled Bao Guoyin to the backyard and sent Bao Guoyin away through the back door.

When Xiang Tianliang came back slowly, he found that there were three more guests in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa is an old soldier with white hair and an 85-style military uniform that has been washed white. He sits upright, with his military temperament clearly revealed.

There were two soldiers standing, standing just behind the old soldier, with pistols in their waists and motionless.

Xiang Tianliang stood in the dining room and looked into the living room through the glass, thinking that this old man must be the Zhang Qiaoshan.

Yi Xiangrui sat on another sofa with a smile on his old face.

Master Zhang Yuxia was serving tea, "Commander Zhang, you are a rare guest in our family."

"Brothers and sisters, how are you? I won't disturb you anymore." Okay, the old man is quite polite.

Zhang Yuxia smiled and said: "Look what you said, it's not too late to welcome you. Commander Zhang, please have some tea, please have some tea."

The old man waved his hand and said carelessly: "Brothers and sisters, don't be busy. You go and have a rest. I'll talk to brother Xiangrui."

After saying this, Zhang Yuxia left the living room knowingly.

Yi Xiangrui asked with a smile: "Commander Zhang, I wonder why you are here so often."

"Haha...it's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous."

"I'm not nervous."

The old man smiled and said: "I, Zhang Qiaoshan, am a useless person, just eating and waiting to die. I just have nothing to do, so I come out and wander around casually."

"Commander Zhang, are you happy?"

Zhang Qiaoshan chuckled and said, "I was wandering around until I arrived near your home. I suddenly thought of a few questions and wanted to ask you, a powerful and authoritative expert, for advice, so I paid a visit."

"Don't dare, don't dare, what is Commander Zhang thinking about?" Yi Xiangrui bowed slightly.

Zhang Qiaoshan asked: "Xiangrui, how old are you this year?"

Yi Xiangrui was stunned. What kind of problem does this old monster Zhang have? "I am sixty-six years old this year."

"Oh...I am seventy-eight years old. How old are we?"

"Twelve years old, just one round away."

Zhang Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Then I have to ask you, if we eat from the same pot, what kind of relationship should we have?"

"Is this..." Yi Xiangrui also smiled, "You are twelve years old, at least you are my brother, or eldest brother, or uncle."

"Very good, very good." Zhang Qiaoshan asked, "So, I am qualified to be your brother."

Yi Xiangrui said hurriedly: "Commander Zhang is serious, of course you can be my brother. Is that because Yi has reached a high level?"

"Then it's settled."

"It's settled."

A smirk flashed on Zhang Qiaoshan's lips, "Okay, let me ask you your second question."

"Excuse me."

"Xiangrui, you are a college student and I am a primary school student. There is an idiom that I can't remember. I want you to help me think about it."

"What idiom."

Zhang Qiaoshan smiled and said: "I only remember the first three characters of this idiom, which is called 'eldest brother is like...' or something like that. Please help me think about what the fourth character is."

"This..." Yi Xiangrui was speechless for a moment, didn't Zhang Qiaoshan just want to take advantage of him?

Xiang Tianliang in the restaurant almost laughed out loud after hearing this. It was so interesting. An old man who claimed to be educated in elementary school actually started playing word games.

"What's wrong, don't you know?" Zhang Qiaoshan looked at Yi Xiangrui and asked with a smile.

Yi Xiangrui got off the donkey and said, "I'm really sorry. I haven't studied idioms. I can't answer your Commander Zhang's question." Elder brother, father, the word "father" cannot be said easily in front of Zhang Qiaoshan, otherwise, he will Play more tricks.

"Haha... I really forgot."

"I'm sorry, I really forgot."

Zhang Qiaoshan smiled and said: "Forget it, I will ask you the third and final question."

"What's the problem?" Yi Xiangrui smiled.

"Xiangrui, who among us is higher in rank?" Zhang Qiaoshan asked.

"Of course you are taller, but you are still two or three levels behind." Yi Xiangrui said with a smile.

Zhang Qiaoshan said deliberately: "Is it that much of a difference? No."

"Commander Zhang, you are joking. As far as the party is concerned, you were once a member of the Politburo and were promoted four times in a row. You are now still a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Advisory Committee. As for me, I was barely elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee, and now I am no longer a member. You are wearing the sign of being a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Besides, you are an old revolutionary and your party membership is twenty-two years longer than mine. There is no comparison. There is no way to compare. How can I compare with you?"

"So, what about the administrative level?" Zhang Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

Yi Xiangrui said: "Then it's even more incomparable. You, Commander Zhang, were the commander of the military region in the 1950s. I had just graduated from school at that time. When you retired, you were treated at the level of deputy prime minister, and I was an assistant minister." Commander Zhang, if you compare with me, your price will drop."

"Haha... I'm not afraid of a price drop. I just want to find out who is the superior and who is the subordinate."

"Of course you are the superior and I am the subordinate."

"Then let me ask you again, what are the organizational principles of our party."

"This... individuals obey the organization, the minority obeys the majority, subordinates obey superiors, and the whole party obeys the central government."

"Oh...that's right." Zhang Qiaoshan nodded, as if he suddenly realized, "So, I, Zhang Qiaoshan, am your superior, and you, Yi Xiangrui, are my subordinates. You must obey me. Isn’t that so?”

Yi Xiangrui knew what Zhang Qiaoshan was going to do, "Commander Zhang, what you said is theoretically correct."

"Hey, I've been talking for a long time, but it's only theoretically correct." Zhang Qiaoshan's face fell a little.

Yi Xiangrui said calmly: "Commander Zhang, you are in the army, and I am a police officer. We belong to two different systems, so we are talking about two different concepts."

Zhang Qiaoshan's eyes became a little round, "What's the matter? I, the superior, can't command you, the subordinate."

"This requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation." Yi Xiangrui said with a smile.

Zhang Qiaoshan said: "I want to borrow someone from you. Do you obey or not?"

"Who do you want to borrow, Commander Zhang?" Yi Xiangrui asked knowingly.

"Towards the dawn."

"Borrow it to dawn."

"Yes, I heard that this boy is your apprentice and lives in your house now."

"Commander Zhang, you are so well informed."

Zhang Qiaoshan laughed and said, "Quickly tell me, do you want to borrow it?"

Yi Xiangrui smiled and said: "Of course I can borrow it from someone...but I dare to ask Commander Zhang if I can borrow it from Xiang Tianliang if there is anything I need to do."

"Military secrets, no comment." Zhang Qiaoshan became even more serious.

Yi Xiangrui smiled brightly and said, "Commander Zhang, I'm so sorry. It's an unfortunate time for you to come. Xiang Tianliang is no longer staying at my house."

"Oh, where has this kid gone?"

"I don't know, maybe I went to see friends or classmates, or maybe I went back to Dongjiang Province."

"Haha..." Zhang Qiaoshan clapped his hands and laughed, "I say Xiangrui, don't think you are the only one who can do scheming. Although I am a big boss, I can not only do scheming, but I can also do some scheming. , I have made it clear that I have definite information, Xiang Tianliang is in your home right now."

"Commander Zhang, your information is correct." Yi Xiangrui asked.

"No, no." Zhang Qiaoshan shook his head and said with a smile, "I, Zhang Qiaoshan, still pay attention to courtesy first and then attack. After all, you are also a respectable person in the capital, so take a look and I will tell you the truth. , I have been doing ideological work for so long and sincerely, this is called respect. Now, you should also respect me as your superior."

This can be regarded as presenting facts and reasoning, it is ideological work, and even Xiang Tianliang is secretly enjoying it.

Yi Xiangrui also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that if he met this old man Zhang, things would not be easy.

"Commander Zhang, Xiang Tianliang is really not here."

"Really not here."

"If you don't believe me, you can search." Yi Xiangrui also risked his life, hoping in his heart to take the opportunity to escape at dawn.

"Haha..." Zhang Qiaoshan stood up with a smile, "Damn it, you damn Yi Xiangrui, you are toasting instead of having to drink fine wine. Okay, okay, do you think I don't dare? It's you who said it to me. Search, I will find that kid, and then I will settle the score with you as a bitch."

Xiang Tianliang, who was hiding in the restaurant, was shocked. This old man was unreasonable and didn't even give the teacher face. If he was searched, he didn't know what trouble he would be in.

Thirty-six Stratagems: Walking is the best. Thinking of this, you turn your legs toward the dawn and run away.
