The Plow

At first, Hong Xiaoguang didn't know that this person was Boss Li who ran the Crescent Cafe. He only thought that this person was out of his mind. When No. 36 of Xiaheng Road was used as an apartment, Hong Xiaoguang began to believe his words a little bit.

Although the apartment at No. 36 Hengtong Road is not high-end, it is already the best place Hong Xiaoguang has lived in. The walls are clean, the room is bright, and there are canopy beds and wardrobes.

When it rained in the past, the old house he used to live in would even leak water, and he couldn’t mend it well, so he had to put a washbasin on the bed and listen to the sound of the rain at night. , It was bitten by a mouse at night.

Comparing such nightmarish memories with what Boss Li had prepared for him, it was as if hell had come to heaven.

Hong Xiaoguang didn't say anything, but he didn't want to go back to the past.

But then, Boss Li was not in a hurry to let him meet Du Yuning.

He began to let Hong Xiaoguang learn etiquette, read and write.

Hong Xiaoguang can read a few words, which he learned when he was a newspaper boy. He is a bit clever, and his brain reacts quickly. He can learn many things as soon as he is taught, and he can draw inferences from one example. Boss Li is very satisfied with his vision.

Boss Li hired two teachers, one to teach literacy and the other to teach etiquette. The former mainly focused on poetry and poetry, while the latter taught him Western etiquette, how to eat Western food correctly, and how to treat women gracefully.Boss Li told him that many upper-class women, especially those who have attended new schools, especially follow this pattern.

Finally, after a period of time, Boss Li told Hong Xiaoguang that he has basically become a teacher now, but he can't go to Du Yuning immediately, and arranges an experiment subject for him.

"Alan?"

Hearing this, Ling Shu had already vaguely guessed.

Hong Xiaoguang nodded weakly: "Can you give me some water?"

Ling Shu: "Where does the water come from here?"

Hong Xiaoguang: "There is some food in the next room, as well as a few bottles of kvass and brandy."

Ling Shuxin said that you are drinking now, you must not get drunk, and you can still explain things?

But without saying a word, he got up and walked to the next door.

Sure enough, there were some packages piled up in the corner, and they were poked open with a portable dagger. Inside were some dry food, and there were a few bottles of wine beside them.

Ling Shu picked up the two bottles and returned.

Hong Xiaoguang was already on the verge of death, but Yue Dingtang was not much better, his eyes were closed tightly, and the dagger on his shoulder hadn't been pulled out yet.

Ling Shu opened a bottle of strong wine and poured some on his wound, Yue Dingtang shivered, opened his eyes and stared at him.

"Disinfection." Ling Shu handed him the wine, "Do it yourself?"

The corners of Yue Dingtang's mouth twitched twice, perhaps to save his energy, he didn't say anything.

Ling Shu chuckled secretly before throwing another bottle of kvass to Hong Xiaoguang.

Hong Xiaoguang struggled to bite open the bottle, and just after taking a sip, the bottle was snatched away.

"Tell me quickly!" Ling Shu pointed his gun at him, looking like a hooligan.

Hong Xiaoguang: ...

He had to lick his lips and speak again.

Hong Xiaoguang felt that Boss Li must have observed Du Yuning for a long time.

He even knew that there was a dumb maid next to Du Yuning, and even the maid's departure cycle.

Alan doesn't go out every day. She goes out once a month at most, sometimes even two months. She can't speak, has low self-esteem and sensitivity, and doesn't want to be judged by others, so she always goes to the same store to buy things.

But once, she met Hong Xiaoguang in a cloth shop she frequented.

She accidentally knocked something in Hong Xiaoguang's hand to the ground. Instead of being impatient, the other party spoke softly to her. The broken steps of embroidery even made the boss give a discount.

It happened to be raining outside, so Hong Xiaoguang gave her his umbrella, called her a rickshaw, and took her to the gate of Yuan's house. At that time, the Yuan family was quite surprised that Alan, who was always frugal, was willing to hire a rickshaw this time.

If you borrow an umbrella, you will naturally have an umbrella to return.All of this is well arranged, and the plot is not afraid of getting old, as long as you are willing to take the bait.

In Alan's 20 or [-] years of life, he has never met a man like Hong Xiaoguang, who did not despise and ridicule her, treated her tenderly, and was even a scholar.

She soon fell, and Alan hid this thought in his heart, and he didn't dare to reveal it, but Hong Xiaoguang couldn't see it. He was secretly pleased with his charm, and started to carry out the plan to capture Du Yuning.

Through Alan, Hong Xiaoguang grasped Du Yuning's detailed schedule. When Du Yuning went to the bookstore, Hong Xiaoguang used an out-of-print poetry collection collected by Boss Li for him to attract the other party's attention, and then started a conversation with the other party.

Hong Xiaoguang, who had already memorized the collection of poems fluently, not only did not reveal his secrets, but instead talked with Du Yuning, which made Du Yuning's eyes shine.

It never occurred to Du Yuning that the well-dressed and polite gentleman in front of him turned out to be a rickshaw driver whom she didn't even glance at not long ago.

At that time, Hong Xiaoguang never expected that the unattainable goddess in his mind would often lie in his arms in silk pajamas with suspenders, and Lihua would cry to him about her husband's various neglects.

The huge vanity of conquering beauty captured him for a while, Hong Xiaoguang couldn't help but fell into the trap he woven, and he really fell in love with Du Yuning in a decent way. Get the thrill.

What's more, Hong Xiaoguang doesn't have to worry about money. Boss Li keeps sending him money, so that he can buy various items for Du Yuning lavishly, which makes Du Yuning more and more convinced that he has met a real lover.

But the good times didn't last long. Boss Li approached Hong Xiaoguang and told him that he had to fulfill his agreement.

In Boss Li's plan, the Yuan mansion must be obtained. Yuan Bing and Du Yuning have no children. As long as they are gone, the Yuan mansion will naturally be taken back by the government and re-auctioned. It will be easy to operate at that time.

Yuan Bing is a heavy smoker, seeks pleasure, and is dying of illness. It is not difficult to make him disappear, but it is difficult for Du Yuning. Although she is empty and lonely, she has no bad habits.

On the other side, the relationship between Du Yuning and Hong Xiaoguang became deeper and deeper, even under the lure of Hong Xiaoguang, she also began to become addicted to cigarettes. She became more obedient and dependent on Hong Xiaoguang's speech, and told Hong Xiaoguang all the grievances she had received from Yuan Bing, longing for his comfort .

She began to confide to Hong Xiaoguang about her past, how she grew up in the Du family, how she met Ling Shu, how she broke off the engagement with the Ling family, and married Yuan Bing, all in detail.

The goddess came down from the altar and lifted her veil. Hong Xiaoguang found that Du Yuning was not as inhuman as he had imagined. She was weak in character, liked Lingshu but dared not rebel against her family, hated Yuan Bingliu's flowers, and was reluctant to bear glory Wealthy, he keeps saying he hates people who smoke opium, but he can't help but sink into the abyss.

Weakness of will was the elegy of her life.

Along with Du Yuning's dictation, the name Ling Shu entered Boss Li's sight.

"Du Yuning asked you out to meet several times, but it was actually Boss Li's idea. He asked me to encourage Du Yuning to elope, and then kill her when he sees the opportunity. Others will naturally think of you, so they can push it on your head without anyone noticing. .”

At the same time, Du Yuning, who had a deep love for Hong Xiaoguang, also told him a secret, that is, Yuan Bingdao hid the gold underground in Yuan's house, and the key to enter the secret storehouse was with her.

In order to convince Hong Xiaoguang that he was not talking nonsense, Du Yuning personally took him to the underground secret vault.

On the lower floor of the cellar, Hong Xiaoguang saw with his own eyes that boxes of gold were displayed, filling his sight all at once.

In his lifetime, has Hong Xiaoguang ever seen so much gold?

Not to mention Hong Xiaoguang, he believed that Boss Li would never have seen it.

Du Yuning gradually accepted the proposal of elopement, and began to plan for the future of the two of them wholeheartedly. In her opinion, it is absolutely impossible to move out so much gold, but as long as they can smuggle out a box and store it properly, they will live together in the future. Half a lifetime is enough to live comfortably.

All this, as Du Yuning's personal maid, Alan must know.

Du Yuning did not avoid Alan, and even arranged the way out after taking her away in the future.

But Du Yuning didn't know that Alan also liked Hong Xiaoguang.

The kind of love that is slowly fermenting in my heart, I dare not appeal to others, and I can't see the light.

Hong Xiaoguang regretted it.

He didn't want to kill people at first, but after hearing Du Yuning's secret, he just wanted to fly away with wealth and beauty, not to be found by the Yuan family or Boss Li, and to be happy and happy ever since.

Although at the beginning, he only approached Du Yuning with the intention of revenge and the bright future that Boss Li built for him, but after getting along for a long time, he gradually developed some feelings, although this feeling was out of pity for the beauty. , Still chasing gold.

But how did the fledgling cub escape the cunning hunter?

"Boss Li somehow found out that I wanted to take Du Yuning away. He threatened me that if I dared to escape his control, he would hand me over to the Yuan family. Only then did I find out that the Yuan family's servants are three talents. He is also his eyeliner, and my every move is under his surveillance."

"So you killed Du Yuning?"

"I have no choice! I have no choice... I was forced by him. If I don't do it, he will kill me, you know!"

Hong Xiaoguang's face showed pain, he stared at the wine bottle in Yue Dingtang's hand, wishing he could grab it and get drunk, completely forgetting the troubles of the world.

"Du Yuning gave me the key to the secret library that day, and Boss Li asked me to do it that night. I, I killed someone for the first time. I saw her struggling in my hand, and she couldn't breathe. I really didn't want to kill her. But Boss Li and Sancai are right next to me..."

Ling Shu: "Alan also witnessed all this?"

Hong Xiaoguang nodded indiscriminately: "Sancai originally wanted to get rid of Alan, but was stopped by Boss Li. He said that too many people died, but it was hard to explain. He asked me to stabilize Alan first, and seduce her with property. Alan also agreed, absolutely not." Leak out."

Ling Shu: "Then why did Boss Li regret it when Alan died again?"

Hong Xiaoguang: "Afterwards, Alan always felt that his wife was dying, and was suspicious, and you happened to be investigating this case. Boss Li was afraid that she would leak the news, so he didn't stop doing it, and asked Sancai to kill her."

Ling Shu: "Did you kill Lao Xiao, the owner of the noodle shop? Also, you were the one who wanted to kill us when we talked about the ruins of the noodle shop that night?"

Hong Xiaoguang: "When the boss made up his mind to blame Du Yuning's death on you, he had already figured out your whereabouts... I, cough cough, I also followed orders. That night, he led you there, I originally wanted Sancai and I to kill your companion and then push it on you. He said that the family surnamed Yue has a background, and if you die, you will not be able to escape at all. No matter what we do, we won't attract the attention of others... In the end, I screwed up, I can't shoot well, and I really can't shoot, I don't want to kill people... Please let me go, I really can't help myself! "

Ling Shu ignored his plea and collapsed.

"What's the background of Boss Li?"

This was the question he most wanted to know the answer to.

Ordinary people, even if they have evil intentions and conspire against the Yuan family's property, they will not raise a well-trained professional killer like Sancai. Sancai hides in Yuan's family, and no one has even discovered it.

Ling Shu also told Yue Dingtang a long time ago that if it was Sancai instead of Hong Xiaoguang who did it that night, Yue Dingtang would have been completely cold.

"I don't know... I don't even know his real name. All I know is that he is ruthless and will never let anyone who is disobedient or dares to betray him. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have boarded this thief ship." !"

Hong Xiaoguang began to cry.

His handsome face was now wrinkled and weak and false, like a perfectly packaged peacock that has been plucked of its colorful feathers and found to be just a bare bird.

If Du Yuning saw him now, maybe he would give himself two slaps, and regret being obsessed.

But it was too late. From the moment she stepped into the situation set by Boss Li, she was destined to become a sacrifice.

Compared with Du Yuning, Hong Xiaoguang is actually not much better.

These two people are pawns in Boss Li's hands.

So what about Boss Li?

Is he a chess player?

Or, whose pawn is he?

"wrong."

Yue Dingtang suddenly made a sound.

"The person surnamed Li shouldn't know the existence of the gold secret storehouse, so why is he plotting against the Yuan family?"

"He is for..."

Hong Xiaoguang's breathing became rapid.

"The things under the golden vault!"

It's amazing.

Ling Shu couldn't help but glance at Yue Dingtang.

The latter had the same surprise on his face.

Does Yuan Bing know that there is something under the gold vault, and is that something he hid again?

Ling Shu was about to ask again, but Hong Xiaoguang had lost too much blood and passed out.

The breath is weak, but not dead.

Ling Shu retracted his fingers and walked towards Yue Dingtang.

"Let's meet up with Shen Renjie first, and then..."

boom!

A gunshot interrupted Ling Shu's words!

Both of them were shocked.

……

Shen Renjie felt that the accidents he encountered tonight were more than the sum of the past few years.

He is just an ordinary policeman, why should he suffer such a crime?

If it wasn't for the blood rushing up tonight and the brain flooding for a while, he wouldn't have followed Yue Dingtang here.

You will not encounter these latter things.

Shen Renjie thought sadly, looking back at his short and ordinary half life.

He used to feel ashamed of his mediocrity, and always wanted to find an opportunity to work harder, but only when things came to an end did he realize that it was better to do nothing.

Peace is a blessing!

"Boss, the car is ready and waiting outside."

The voice pulled Shen Renjie back from his wild thoughts.

He saw Sancai approaching the man in the long gown.

The latter nodded, and the eyes under the round cap fell on Shen Renjie, making him feel like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"This, this man, I was temporarily arrested as an errand, I don't know anything, and I don't want to know, otherwise, you go first, leave me alone, just let me here, I will never say anything Yes, I will definitely repay your great kindness!"

Shen Renjie's tongue was tied, and he was incoherent after speaking, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Take him to the car and wait, I will meet them."

Sancai nodded, then roughly picked up Shen Renjie and walked outside.

boom!

Shen Renjie heard a gunshot.

Half of his legs were limp.

But immediately, he found that he didn't feel any pain in his body, and the gun didn't hit him at all.

On the other side, Boss Li and Sancai had already started a gunfight in the room.

The two people who were originally accomplices suddenly fell into internal strife.

What kind of drama is this?

Shen Renjie was dumbfounded, and subconsciously rolled to the side, crawling and hiding behind the shelf.

"The dog I raised with my own hands is actually trying to kill me now." Shen Renjie heard Boss Li say sadly.

"Teacher, don't blame me either. This is an order from the higher-ups. The higher-ups clearly said they want gold, but you have a different intention. If you want to keep the gold all to yourself, the higher-ups will naturally be unhappy." Sancai replied.

Shen Renjie met Sancai several times. At that time, he was timid, asking three questions and answering one sentence. He looked like a countryman who had never seen the world, honest, timid and cowardly. The three talents who are not soft-hearted are like two different people.

He couldn't help shrinking his body into the corner, hoping that these two gods of plague would kill each other, and it would be best if both of them were hurt, so that he could save his life.

"I worked hard for them, and I found what they wanted. I just wanted a little gold, and they wanted to kill me. It's not because I know too much. Sancai, have you ever thought about it? One day you will end up like this?" Boss Li sneered.

"I won't." Sancai's voice was very calm, "If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different."

Shen Renjie didn't have much reaction to this sentence, but Boss Li did.

"It turns out that you - good good good good good good good good good good good good good good!"

After he said three good words in succession, he suddenly fell silent.

boom! boom! boom!

Several shots fired one after another, and all the lights above the head went out!

Before Shen Renjie's eyes, he was suddenly plunged into darkness.
