Ninth Symphony

The next story Wu Yi told Xi Le was full of ups and downs like a novel. If it wasn't because Xi Le knew who he was, he might have thought that he had colluded with Du Nian and made up stories to coax himself. Children are ready to start.

So Du Nian is so smart that people want to beat him up.

He knew that Xi Le would not believe these words if he said them, so he pushed out Wu Yi, an honest man, as a gunman, and called it "I'll help you make up".That is to say, Wu Yi has a good temper and doesn't care about him. If it were Xi Le, he would have jumped on him.

But in fact, at this moment, Xi Le has no intention of arguing with Du Nian at all.

Assuming that what Wu Yi said is the truth, then Xi Le is completely dumbfounded by now.

The reaction in the brain changed from "What?", "Are you kidding me?", "Are you kidding me?!" to "No...", "It's impossible...", "How could this happen? This kind of thing..." In the end, the whole body was cold from head to toe, from inside to outside, and when Wu Yi finally finished speaking, he didn't know how to react.

"Xiao Le... are you okay?" Seeing that he was silent, Wu couldn't help asking worriedly.

Xi Le hung her head and said nothing, as if she didn't hear his words at all.

Wu Yi had to turn his worried eyes to Du Nian again: "Brother Nian...I..."

Du Nian saw what he meant, nodded at him and said, "Leave the rest to me, you go back first."

"Okay..." Wu Yi, who was simply summoned to act as a "background commentator", still glanced at Xi Le uneasy, but he knew that staying here would not be of much consolation, maybe he just said He couldn't do anything worth what Du Nian said, so he didn't plan to make unnecessary attempts.

Wu Yi walked up to Xi Le, stretched out his hand to press his shoulder, then turned and went out without speaking again.

After he left, Du Nian stood up and moved his chair to the opposite side of Xi Le. The two chairs were very close together. Falling down, the two legs just sandwiched Xi Le's legs. No matter how you look at this posture, it makes people feel very shameful.

Xi Le raised his eyes and glanced at him speechlessly, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

"Do you have something to say?" Du Nian stared at him and asked.

Xi Le looked at him, shook his head, "Can you give me some time to think about it."

"Okay, you miss you, I'll be with you." Du Nian naturally took Xi Le's hand and clasped it in the palm of his own, placing it on his knee. Xi Le's eyes followed his movements back and forth, A look of unnaturalness flashed across his face quickly, but he didn't pull his hand back.

The temperature from Du Nian's palm was stable and long-lasting, and it was continuously transported to the heart and lungs along his fingertips, so that the internal organs, which were still in the icehouse just now, gradually showed signs of warming up.

Xi Le began to try to sort out a clue from his brain that had been bombarded with all kinds of "high-energy" information.

Probably it was also due to the fact that he had been ravaged by various mysteries in the past three years. Although he was smashed a few more times at this time, his reaction and recovery speed were far from what they used to be. I was able to convince myself to calm down and think carefully.

The story Wu Yi just told was very long, and he had to re-read it from beginning to end to ensure that he did not miss any important information.

According to Wu Yi, Xi Zhuoyun—or the Xi family, these generations have actually been inheriting the same "family business"—stealing.

At that moment, Xi Le almost wanted to laugh when he heard it, but he never thought that Wu Yi could tell such a fantasy.

Xi Zhuyun?His father, a musician who is famous in Xinfu and can turn clouds upside down, is actually a thief? !The joke is so outrageous that it can no longer make people laugh.

But before he could express his opinion, Wu Yi continued to talk, and Xi Le felt that he couldn't laugh anymore.

He is not stupid, and he can tell the truth from the lies.

Wu Yi told him that the Xi family's tradition of stealing is quite well-known in the "industry", even a bit like "the leader". In the past, many small gangs, small groups and individuals followed the leader of the Xi family, and the code of conduct was "big brother". Wherever we point to, we steal and we don’t reach out to starve to death where the elder brother won’t move.” This organized and disciplined “grand occasion” in the theft industry has lasted for decades.

Later, however, the situation gradually changed.

Probably from the previous generation｜, the Xi family, a family that relied on "conquering the world with nothing", unexpectedly smoked from the ancestral grave and gave birth to a child with great musical talent. This child was later Xi Zhuoyun's Father, Xi Le's grandfather - Xi Ze.

Xi Ze's musical talent has been manifested since he was very young. Playing various instruments not only looks like what he plays, but he can also compose and write scores by himself. Judging from the situation at the time, if he develops according to that momentum, his future may be uncertain. And become a world-renowned music master.

Unfortunately, the Xi family told everyone with facts: It is not unreasonable for Meng's mother to move three times, and the child's growth environment is crucial to future development.

Xi Zesheng grew up in such a family where stealing was the main business. He was influenced by what he saw and heard from a young age, and his talent was taken astray. As a result, he inherited the "family business" when he grew up, and formed his own style and habit of stealing. .That is, he only stole the manuscripts of works by famous composers in the world and the instruments used by famous performers.

Of course, he did this only out of personal preference, but the other friends who "played" together gradually became unhappy when they saw this situation.

At that time, generally, if there was any good thing on the market or first-hand news, it would give priority to "filial piety" to the Xi family. Once the Xi family decided to make a move, they would bring a group of brothers with them, and wait for the thing to be obtained. Afterwards, it can be handed over to the employer for remuneration, or exchanged for money on the black market and then distributed to everyone, no one will lose money.

However, since Xi Ze became the new head of the family, limited by his own hobbies, the things that everyone can start with have suddenly decreased a lot.Gold, silver, jewelry, antique paintings and other good things, even if they are priceless, he would not even take a second look at them in front of Xi Ze, and he has no interest in getting his hands on them at all.

But if "big brother" doesn't move, the others are too embarrassed to do it.It is ironic to say that the phrase "the thief has the right way" was really not empty talk in the circle at that time. The big guys have been eating and drinking spicy food with the Xi family for so many years, even if they feel a little dissatisfied for a while, they are still in essence. In awe, most people only dare to complain in private, and they still maintain the authority of "big brother" on the surface.

However, even if 99 out of [-] people are obedient and obedient, there will always be a "troublemaker" who is born rebellious, always wants to make a big news to pull the big brother off the horse, and even if there is no wind, there will be three waves , not to mention that there is already a mass base that can be incited, and someone will hand you a pillow when you are dozing off, and you can't hold back immediately.

Ji Hengsheng is such a person.

The "big brother" will always have a lot of underlings around him. Among them, there must be some people who are stalking, hypocrisy and subservient ones. In fact, there are usually only a few who can really gain the trust of the "big brother".

As for Xi Ze, apart from Xiao Zhong who grew up by his side all the time, Ji Hengsheng is the most trustworthy person.

Ever since he formally entered this line of work, Ji Hengsheng has been with him almost as a "deputy". After a few years, the two of them have become like brothers. At least in Xi Ze's heart, Ji Hengsheng has been regarded as a brother, but he never Thinking that this "brother" would secretly encourage others to break away from the "control" of the Xi family behind his back.

I'm afraid there will be a leader for something like this. Once someone takes the lead in "defying the world's disgrace" and raises the flag high, then the rest of the little people who are not firm-willed and mercenary will naturally respond. Get yourself an extra piece of the pie.

Xi Ze is very talented in music, and he has perfected the stealing skills inherited from his father. Ji Hengsheng was confused, and when he came back to his senses, his subordinates had already "changed". The "big brother" was surnamed Ji and not Xi from now on, except for a few "guarantees" who were still loyal to the Xi family. Except for the "Party", the rest have all switched camps.

To put it bluntly, people who can steadily carry on with the profession of stealing are all greedy in nature, but what they are greedy for is slightly different. No one is noble enough to dictate the behavior of others, even Xi Ze no.

Since he can't give them the benefits they want, it's understandable for them to leave or stay. Xi Ze is very open about this.

Therefore, after this incident happened at that time, Xi Ze did not overreact, and he himself did not have the ambition to become the "Leader of Stealing the Forest". As long as he could steal what he liked, he would be satisfied. , the only thing that hit her hard was Ji Hengsheng's betrayal.

But Xi Ze has a really good temper. He thinks that Ji Hengsheng's actions this time did not cause any substantial harm to himself, so when he was sad, he still wanted to find an excuse for him, thinking: Maybe he Do you also care about brotherhood?Maybe he just wanted to get more work for the people below, and didn't intend to betray?If he didn't intend to betray him, then if he became angry at this time, wouldn't it hurt his brother's heart instead?

Thanks to Xize's blessing of writing "Bodhisattva" and "idiot", their "circle" was extremely peaceful and stable after going through this kind of incident of "brothers fighting against each other and breaking up partners and families". After developing for a period of time, the scene of "brothers and brothers respecting each other" can really move anyone to tears.

Maybe if it continues like this, it will also achieve a good story of "two governances in one circle". The dream of "all in one's hand" may not be impossible to realize.

However, people's hearts are always full of desires.

Ji Hengsheng is not satisfied with the status quo. Although he has finally become the "big brother" who has been echoed by everyone, he still has to rely on stealing to make a living. There is no comparison to the "powerful" who honed their skills and surpassed themselves.

Therefore, when Xi Ze finally found out that Ji Hengsheng had actually set his mind on his Xi family's "ancestral property", the brotherhood between them, which existed in name only, came to an end completely.
