The Shen Mansion is one of the earliest western-style buildings on the beach. It had stood in the French Concession for half a century, but it seemed to collapse when the New Year came in 1936.The building was still facing the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, and the faces of the people in the western-style building were full of decadence.Overnight, Huanzhu died, Lianzhou left, Zhenghai was imprisoned, and Jingxian fell ill because of this. The backbone of the Shen family was withered by these successive blows.

The military and the government were at war with each other. Zhaoshi had no intention of intervening. He took a long vacation and stayed in Shanghai, serving decoctions by Jingxian's bedside.In addition to school and family, Lan Xin had to dig out the account books to sort out the factory and store affairs, while the company in Hong Kong was completely entrusted to Xiaopeng.Zhaoquan also moved back to Shen's mansion. After all, Zhaoshi is a man, so it is inconvenient to take care of him.Sangzhi hugs Yifang and hides away from a distance every day, for fear that Jingxian will be sad when she hears Yifang crying for her father and mother.

Chen Xiangfan has called back again and again, asking Zhaoshi to visit Zhenghai.At first Zhaoshi refused to go, but later Chen Xiangfan said on the phone, "If you don't come, it's fine, help inform Sun Xiangli, and come to collect the body in their Zhenghai home, and you will be convicted of killing his wife."

Zhaoshi was stunned.

Zhaoshi watched with his own eyes that Huanzhu drained the blood from his body little by little, and his body became colder and colder until his lips lost their wink.He hated Zhenghai deeply, but he also knew that Huanzhu died of hemorrhage caused by a miscarriage, not that Zhenghai was the killer, so how could he be charged with killing his wife?

As a last resort, Zhaoshi still went to the security headquarters.

When Zheng Hai turned around while dragging his handcuffs and shackles, Zhaoshi was stunned.This is also the child he grew up with, the proud, strong Zhenghai with shining black pupils, now he is bearded and disheveled, and there is no expression in his big eyes.His eyes moved only when he saw Zhaoshi, his lips were already dry and chapped, but he called out in a hoarse voice: "Second Uncle" Seeing Zhenghai like this, Zhaoshi couldn't bear to refuse him anymore. This call, his acceptance, made Zheng Hai feel that his wandering soul was gradually returning to its place at this moment.

Zhaoshi has already read Zhenghai's dossier, and his confession is that he discovered that Huanzhu had stolen the document, and asked for it in a hurry, but Huanzhu refused to give it to him, so he drew his gun and missed, and Huanzhu bumped into the corner of the table while evading, resulting in a miscarriage and death .

Zhaoshi sat cross-legged across from Zhenghai, looked at him and said, "Zhenghai, you told a lie." Trained before.

"Look at me, and answer honestly, are you lying?" Zheng Hai looked at Zhao Shi, just like when he was a child, he knew he couldn't hide.

Zhaoshi sighed, "I, Shen Zhaoshi and Lu Yijie taught me how to shoot bullets to the ceiling. I raised Zhenghai, how could he be willing to point the gun at his beloved Huanzhu? Zhenghai, you are hiding You can't hide it from someone else, you can't hide it from my second uncle, you'd rather point the gun at yourself than at Huanzhu, have you forgotten the torture class we once took?"

Zhenghai looked up at Zhaoshi, his gray eyes were like the cloudy sky outside: "But my raccoon is gone, what's the point of my life? I'd rather die with her." Zhaoshi pulled Zhenghai's shoulder: "You die with him, I won't stop you, but you can't die like this. You were shot for killing your wife, what is your identity? Huanzhu's husband is a soldier of Party X?

silence, endless silence
With a "click", Zhaoshi turned on the lighter and lit a cigarette. "You are not living for yourself, nor for Huanzhu. And your parents, your daughter, do you want to see Yifang without parents at such a young age? She is not yet two years old. You Think about it again, whether you are a godmother or me, I have been raising you for so many years, you want to study and send you to Japan, you want to serve the country and train your skills, is it because you are Huanzhu's lover, because you are Zhenghai .”

Zheng Hai raised his eyes and asked, "What else can I do now?"

Zhaoshi asked him: "What did you say to me when you were in the police academy? You said that the first poem I taught you was to sacrifice your life to go to the national disaster, and you see death as home. Now that the country is in crisis, you see death as home. Is your death worth it?"

Zheng Hai paused for a while before saying: "Second Uncle, there are some things I can't explain about what happened to Huanzhu."

At this time, Zhaoshi had to face the reason for Huanzhu's death. He had been guessing before, and he didn't want someone to tell her exactly why Huanzhu disappeared.When he heard that Huanzhu participated in Zhenghai's work and helped Zhenghai receive and send reports, he felt that every blood vessel in his body was congested. If he hadn't had to hand over his weapon when he entered the prison, he might have drawn his gun by now It's facing Zhenghai.

Although there is no gun, there are still fists.At this time, Zhaoshi couldn't talk about grappling and fighting, but just waved his fists and smashed at Zhenghai in a disorderly manner.Zheng Hai was no longer the young man who stuck his neck and gritted his teeth and beat his second uncle's board to death. He was so weak that he couldn't stand such an attack at all, and he collapsed to the ground after a few blows.The handcuffs and fetters rattled, and the guard outside the cell knocked on the door and asked, "Are you all right?"

Zhaoshi stopped, and left a sentence, "It's just that you accidentally fired while wiping the gun, which disturbed Huanzhu's fetal gas. I will ask your uncle to deal with other matters." You don’t even know how to make up panic, what kind of bullshit Blue Shirt Club!”

Because of Zhenghai's incident, Sun Xiangli no longer stayed in Shen's Group to work, resigned from all positions and went home to work as a public servant.Jingxian didn't stop her, but Sun Xiangli's original shares were still left to him.For a moment, Shen suddenly lost his arm, and Lan Xin's strength couldn't handle it, Jingxian had to hold on on the sick bed, and finally called Zhaoquan.The three of them discussed and discussed, entrusted Zhaoquan with the women's school, Lan Xin with the factory, and Jingxian took care of all the shops.As a result, there is no one to deal with the family affairs, and Sang Zhi has to be entrusted to take care of them.Zhaoquan laughed and said, "Our family is ready for "The Female Generals of the Yang Family"." Zhaoshi and Lan Xin were both worried about Jingxian's body, whether she could hold on.Zhaoquan had a big heart, and persuaded Zhaoshi: "Don't worry, sister-in-law hasn't experienced it for so many years? She is just a hard worker, and she can't live a peaceful life for two days. The more difficult the life is, the harder her bones are, but you You have to gather your energy to deal with it, and don't make trouble for her."

Sure enough, as Zhaoquan said, for a person like Jingxian, when things are overwhelmed, her spine will be stronger. On the day she is in charge again, she will go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.Incidentally, in the future, Sangzhi will take the two children to the table for dinner, and it will be regarded as officially appointing Sangzhi to be the housekeeper.Zhaoshi understood the reason why Jingxian asked Amao and her younger sister to have dinner together. She couldn't see the empty seats on the dining table. She was afraid that she would think about Huanzhu, Lianzhou, and even Zhenghai every day.

Under the guardianship of several women, the Shen family's wounds gradually healed.In the new year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also entered the agenda of negotiations, and gradually released political prisoners. Zhaoshi remembered Lianzhou's entrustment before leaving, and worked hard for Huiqiu's affairs.When Huiqiu saw the early spring sunshine in Nanjing, she had already been in prison for three years.

Huiqiu was in a daze when he saw the officer waiting for him outside the prison gate.If she saw such a military uniform three years ago, she would probably be filled with hatred, but today, this woolen military uniform is here to take her home.Zhaoshi turned his head, and Huiqiu recognized him at a glance. Although he had never met him before, this face was very familiar, similar to Lianzhou and Mr. Leng.Huiqiu pursed her lips, but didn't make a sound. Zhaoshi was a little embarrassed, so she stepped forward and asked, "Are you Lin Huiqiu? I'm Lianzhou's second uncle." Huiqiu nodded, she was not used to being with people anymore. Take the initiative to talk.

Zhaoshi took her into the car, and when the car started, she asked in the back seat, "Where are we going?" Zhaoshi smiled and said, "Let's go to the train station and return to Shanghai." Huiqiu didn't speak anymore, and after a long time , She asked again: "Where is Lianzhou? Where is he?" Zhaoshi paused: "Well, I don't know where he is, anyway, he went to work. He didn't say where he was going, and left quietly Before leaving, I left a letter saying that you are in Nanjing and asked me to find a way. I couldn’t think of anything before, but I could only ask someone to make it easier for you. Now that the two sides have negotiated, your affairs will be easier. This time Huiqiu knew where her new prison clothes and the piece of meat in her bowl came from, so she said softly, "Thank you."

When Zhaoshi led Huiqiu to the door of Shen's mansion, he suddenly stopped, "Well, Huiqiu, I have something to tell you. You know that Lianzhou has an older sister. His older sister passed away last year. Brother-in-law I also left home. I said this for no other purpose, don't mention this in front of Lianzhou's mother, lest she be sad." Huiqiu nodded, but still did not speak.

Huiqiu followed Zhaoshi into the door, which looked quite open, with a row of cabinets with glass mirrors against the wall, and a sofa opposite the cabinets.She was wondering what kind of place this was, but Zhaoshi waved at her, "Look at which pair of slippers fit your feet." Huiqiu realized that this was just a hallway for changing shoes and clothes.As soon as she changed into her slippers, Zhaoshi saw Zhaoshi take off his coat and hang it up, and said to her, "Hui Qiu, take off the outer thick clothes here. Hui Qiu took off her coat, and inside was the sweater she wore on the day she was arrested. She had lost too much weight, her sweater was empty, and she was a bit cold. When she entered the door, she saw the empty living room. The crystal lamp hung down, shining brightly in her eyes. A girl in a floral jacket greeted Zhao Shiwei. He bent his knees and said, "Second Master is back. "After speaking, he took the luggage from Zhaoshi's hand, and Zhaoshi said: "This is Miss Lin, the young master's friend. The girl also bent her knees: "Ms. Lin, my name is Yunluo. If you have anything to do, just tell me." At this time, Huiqiu knew that she was the girl of the family, so she nodded slightly. Yunluo said: "The eldest grandma, aunt and second grandma are all upstairs, and the second master and Miss Lin are waiting in the living room for a while?" "Although Huiqiu left home early, she also knew that in such a family, there is no reason for the younger generation to wait for the elders to see her, so she hurriedly said: "Please pass it on, if it is convenient, please take me up to see you Bar. "Zhaoshi nodded aside: "Li Yunluo will help me get to the room, no need to communicate, I will just take you up." "
