On the same day, Luo Wenle’s body was sent back to Luo’s house.
When Song Dongling saw her son’s body, she cried directly into tears.
Luo Zhiquan had no expression on his face and his eyes were cold. No one could see that under his indifferent appearance was sadness and anger.
Luo Zhengyang, the captain of his guard, came over and said in a low voice: “Master, madam, the mourning is changed, how do you ask you to order the funeral of the young master?”
Luo Zhiquan said coldly: “Everything is simple!”
Luo Zhengyang said quickly: “Yes, the subordinates understand, so let’s do it now.”
The Luo family also knew that Luo Wenle’s death could not be separated from the Xiang family.
Moreover, they also know why Luo Wenle provokes the Xiang family.
Knowing that they are at a loss, the Luo family is very angry, but they are not easy to have an attack.
In addition, the recent general election has just begun, and Luo Lao is still one of the most powerful competitors for this plan.
Therefore, the Luo family does not intend to run Luo Wenle’s funeral, everything is kept simple.
Even when reporting funerals, it does not report friends or colleagues, nor does it report deceased officials, but only the closest relatives.
Luo Wenle’s funeral was held in Duofu Funeral Home.
Many people who had not been notified came to mourn.
Some people did not come, but also sent wreaths and other things to express their condolences.
Luo Zhiquan and his wife Song Dongling, along with their family members, welcomed the many guests who came to mourn the funeral.
Song Dongling had already cried to death, and everyone was crying dying.
After all, Luo Zhiquan was an old man who had seen strong winds and waves. Although he was sad at this time, he still maintained basic rationality and etiquette.
He whispered to Luo Zhengyang, the captain of the guard next to him: “Has Chen Ning been here?”
Luo Zhengyang immediately replied: “The marshal has never been here, but he sent someone to send a wreath.”
Luo Zhiquan was silent for two seconds: “Youth marshal and gentleman!”
Luo Zhiquan was very angry when he learned that Chen Ning had supported Huang Qian instead of supporting him in the general election.
However, he didn’t think that his son would repeat Chen Ning’s way again and again.
When his son died, Chen Ning still sent the wreath.
He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Immediately, he remembered something and asked in a low voice: “The lord and his wife, have they notified us that they will come to the funeral?”
Luo Zhengyang shook his head: “The subordinates have not been notified.”
That’s not there!
Otherwise, the itinerary of the country lord and the country lord’s wife will definitely be notified in advance.
He couldn’t help asking again: “Then the country lord and the country lord’s wife, are there any wreaths or other gifts?”
Luo Zhengyang still shook his head: “There are no too!”
Luo Zhiquan couldn’t help being disappointed.
This is not a good signal.
It seems that the country lord is angry, and the son is implicated after all.
I don’t know if it will affect the country’s support for him.
If he loses the support of the country lord, he wants to defeat Xiang Cheng and win this plan, I am afraid it will be difficult.
At this moment, the doorman outside suddenly shouted: “The distinguished guest is here.”
Immediately afterwards, I saw an elderly man wearing a gray jacket with white temples and a large number of suits, walking in unhurriedly.
The old man with white sideburns has a different temperament on his body, which is not angry but majestic.
When everyone on the scene saw the old man, they couldn’t help showing shocked expressions.
Xiang Lao!
Xiang Lao actually came.
Not only was everyone at the scene shocked, even Luo Zhiquan showed an expression of disbelief.
However, Luo Zhiquan quickly returned to normal.
Xiang Lao put on the incense stick, and then deliberately or unintentionally glanced at Luo Wenle’s body in the coffin in the mourning hall, a different color flashed deep in his eyes.
Immediately, he took his entourage and walked to Luo Zhiquan and his wife, and said calmly: “Luo Lao, mourn and change.”
Luo Zhiquan said, “Thank you Xiang Lao for your concern.”
Xiang Chengdao: “No thanks, we just take care of each other.”
The people around looked at each other.
Xiang Lao has something to say!
Luo Zhiquan’s face became gloomy and calmly said: “Yes, we are all getting old, we have to take care of each other, like you and me, no one knows what will happen tomorrow!”
The people around have weird expressions.
Mr. Luo’s words clearly meant that whoever of us can become the new leader of the country will have the last laugh, and who is the one who will die?
The two old men hurt each other and each lost a son.
But now it seems that the struggle between the two is far from over, and even worsening.
Xiang Cheng nodded!
He raised his finger to the outside, and said faintly: “When I came in just now, I saw the flowers in the courtyard outside vying to bloom first. Would you like to go out and take two steps to ease the sadness in my heart?”
Luo Zhiquan frowned slightly when he heard this, and immediately said: “Then I will accompany Xiang Lao for two steps.”
Xiang Cheng: “Please!”
Luo Zhiquan: “Please!”
The two came out of the mourning hall, the others were not allowed to follow, even the guards and bodyguards of the two stood far away.
Many trees and flowers were planted in the front yard of the funeral home, and the two elderly people walked side by side.
Suddenly heard a slight scream of toad.
Immediately, Xiang Cheng and Luo Zhiquan saw a small snake among the flowers not far away, biting a large toad, and devouring it desperately.
The scream was made by the big toad.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Cheng said, “It’s so tragic!”
Luo Zhiquan glanced at Xiang Cheng and said: “The thing chooses the best, the fittest survives, and the winner is king.”
Xiang Cheng nodded: “The struggle of animals is so tragic, the struggle of people is even more terrifying.”
Luo Zhiquan said: “Yes, this is something that there is no way. Just like this little snake eating toads, if a snake wants to survive, it must eat toads.”
Xiang Chengdao: “If a snake wants to survive, it must eat toads.”
“But our people’s competition can actually not be so fierce.”
“We don’t have to eat each other, we just need to admit defeat, that’s enough.”
Luo Zhiquan heard what Xiang Cheng meant.
He stopped and asked Xiang Cheng, “If you don’t know Xiang Lao, would you give up?”
Xiang Cheng smiled and said: “In my opinion, I am a snake, not a frog, so I don’t need to give up, so I will give up too.”
“Lao Luo, it’s you. If you were that frog, would you give up?”
Luo Zhiquan’s face changed slightly when he heard this.
Xiang Cheng was obviously sending a signal to make him surrender.
Probably in Xiang Cheng’s mind, Xiang Cheng himself was the snake, and Luo Zhiquan was the toad.
Xiang Cheng is persuading him to surrender!
As long as he surrenders and concedes defeat, then Xiang Cheng will basically be the next master of the country.
Luo Zhiquan sneered: “Who is a snake and who is a toad? It’s hard to say, and even if I am a toad, I won’t give up willingly. I will definitely fight until the last second.”
Xiang Cheng said coldly: “Knowing that you can’t do it, this is stupid.”
“Luo Luo, if you are willing to abandon this general election, I promise you that after I become the new head of the country, you will remain in the cabinet, and I will use you as the chief assistant. Waiting for the next general election, I will fully support you as the head of the country. how is it?”
Luo Zhiquan coldly snorted: “Why don’t you give up on Xiang Lao, let me be the lord of the country first, next time I support you?”
Hearing this, Xiang Cheng said slowly: “It seems like it’s too much to talk about. You have to die and live before you can give up.”
Luo Zhiquan said: “Look at who of us is the last laugh before we know who is the snake and who is the toad.”
The two of them broke up unhappily this time.
Xiangcheng led people to leave angrily, and Luo Zhiquan still presided over the funeral of his son.
What the two old people didn’t know was how long they had been away.
The little snake in the flower bed that swallowed the big toad, because the toad was too big, the toad got stuck in its mouth and neck, and it stuck the little snake alive.
And toad, too, was already poisoned and completely dead.
The snake and the toad were both dead.
If Xiang Lao and Luo Lao saw this scene, how would they feel?
