Chapter 62 Murong Family's Treasure
Liang Zhenni's words caused everyone's complexion to change slightly.The uncle stared at Murong Hui who suddenly asked the question, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you remember something?"
Murong Hui nodded, with a delicate expression on his face: "The abducted women I rescued that night were all kept in the bilge with a lot of seafood in it. I thought it was prepared for inspection by the marine patrol. Now it seems that maybe..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew what he was going to say next, and couldn't help but focus on Murong Qi who kept scolding his wife.
Being caught by everyone, Murong Qi, who was already guilty, became more and more impatient. He gritted his teeth, and suddenly slapped Liang Zhenni on the face with a backhand: "Nonsense! This is just a way for you to cover up. And every time you come and go to the wharf for the evidence of human trafficking, I originally didn't want to show it for the sake of the husband and wife. I didn't expect you to dare to deny it, so I have no choice but to kill my relatives!"
This slap was clear and loud, and half of Liang Zhenni's face quickly turned red and swollen.She was spoiled since she was a child, and she would make a fuss for a long time if her oily skin was scratched, and she would definitely cry endlessly in normal times.But now he didn't say a word, he didn't even touch the wound at all, he just stared at Murong Qi up and down, as if he was sizing up a stranger, his eyes were creepy.
Seeing this, Murong Qi, who originally wanted to continue to fight, became timid, his arms were awkwardly raised in the air, he couldn't get up or down, and he didn't even have the confidence to speak: "You, what do you want to blame? I'm more than just you. The evidence of the goods, before the Qin family came to the United States, someone told me how you got in touch with them. It’s just that you used the guise of visiting old friends for your father-in-law, I didn’t think of it for a while. Don’t make a mistake, don’t make Dad angry again.”
At this time, Liang Zhenni suddenly sneered, ignored her husband, turned her head to look at her uncle, and asked word by word: "What the hell is Anxiangmen?"
After Murong Duan immigrated back then, he washed his hands in the golden basin, and his practice of taking the opportunity to withdraw from the arena also affected many old ministries who wanted to live a peaceful life.While approving the arrangement of Murong's family and starting new jobs, consciously or unconsciously, they no longer mention the past to their children, hoping that when their children grow up, they can get rid of the influence of the nine streams, become ordinary people, and have a safe life. Joy, no longer involved in rivers and lakes disputes.
Jenny Leung's father did exactly that.Therefore, she only knew that her elders were the stewards of Murong's family, and she was at a loss as to the others.As for Jiuliu, he vaguely knows the outline and knows nothing about the details.
But because she has been with her husband all these years and is out of tune with the rest of the Murong family, and rarely chats with her, my uncle and Murong Hui forgot this for a while.
Looking at Liang Zhenni with a peculiar expression, the uncle smiled wryly when he remembered this: "Anxiangmen... To put it bluntly, it is a brothel organization that forces women into prostitution. In the old society, innocent women were half bought and half abducted, and they were forced into prostitution. Now they are all relying on trafficking and abduction to make profits."
"Is it a place like the red light district?"
"No, it's much worse than that. The red-light district is legal in the United States, and the women who work there are basically voluntary. But Anxiangmen is coercion."
Jenny Liang murmured, "I see, it's about the Bada Hutong and the Secret Door Shuyu in the novels of Pearl Buck and Gao Yang."
Speaking of this, she suddenly gave a short and weird laugh: "You think, as a woman, I will participate in this kind of thing?"
"We don't want to doubt it, but the evidence suggests—"
"Evidence? What a piece of evidence!"
Liang Zhenni didn't want to hear any more, so she suddenly aimed at Murong Qi's face and spat hard: "Bah! You still dare to make me admit my mistake, the biggest mistake I did was not seeing clearly that you are a double-faced villain! I plead for you , you beat me up instead! Did you stay behind a long time ago? Want me to top the tank after the incident? No way! What do you think of my old lady, a lady with three obediences and four virtues that you can control? Dare to frame me, look at my father If he can't beat you to death, he loves me the most, so he doesn't care if the father-in-law is a sect master or not!"
She is usually caring and considerate to Murong Qi, and all her thorns are only aimed at other people.As time goes on, Murong Qi mistakenly gave birth to the illusion that his wife is always obedient to him, forgetting that she is actually tough by nature.Otherwise, it would not be possible to use such a stupid trick. Instead of picking himself out, he even pushed his only ally away from him.
Murong Qi stared blankly at his wife who insulted him like an enemy, and forgot to refute for a while, just wondering why she didn't obediently confess her guilt as expected and take the blame for herself.What went wrong?
Seeing his dead fish-like appearance, Liang Zhenni became more and more annoyed, she simply yelled and scratched her hand.
A slap on the face, the burning pain made Murong Qi wake up.When his father beat him, he didn't dare to resist, but when his wife scratched him, she didn't have so many scruples, and immediately started to fight back cursing.In just a split second, the husband and wife were torn into a ball billowing in smoke and dust, making a fuss.
Although he knew the truth a long time ago, when Murong Qi's performance today refreshed his brother's and Murong Hui's understanding again, he was extremely shocked, and felt a sense of amazement at his face.
After witnessing his fourth son's denials in every possible way, even betraying the person next to his pillow, Murong Duan was deeply disappointed in him.
Seeing that he still dared to mess around in front of him, Murong Duan, who was deeply ashamed, made a move himself, and with a single arm, he pinned Murong Qi to the wall, grinning but unable to move: "Nie Zi, don't stop!"
On the other end, Murong Hui also supported Liang Zhenni, whose hair was disheveled during the dispute, and advised her not to be impulsive.
Liang Zhenni turned a deaf ear to his persuasion, struggled a few times, suddenly lost her strength, and burst into tears: "You have no conscience! I treat you so well, but you treat me like this, my heart is almost fed to the dog!"
In this situation, no matter how much awe he has for his father, Murong Qi can't help but give up on himself, and fight back: "Stop pretending to be innocent, if you didn't push me to find the treasure of family legend, I would fight back with my father and my father." Brothers and nephews are born to this point? I will try to raise money to raise funds? In the final analysis, you instigated it! I say you are guilty, and you are absolutely right!"
"I'm not doing it for your own good! You spend a lot of money, and the annual dividends are not enough for you. If you don't find a way out, will you live a tight civilian life after the family is separated?"
The husband and wife accused each other, but Murong Duan's original anger turned into astonishment: "Fourth, what treasure are you talking about?"
"Dad, it's come to this point, do you still want to hide it from me?" Murong Qi was like a desperate lost dog, with a deep sense of unwillingness in his incoherent words: "You love Xiao Wu, you love Ah Hui, you don’t want to see me, I know this. But you want to hide such a big thing from me, how can I swallow this breath? If you refuse to tell me, then I will find it myself. No money? Then I will Try to earn money! You can’t blame me, you forced me! It’s all because of your partiality!”
No cause, no effect.Murong Qi didn't even think about it, if it wasn't for him coveting the so-called treasure, guarding his brothers like thieves, and always self-righteously complaining about his father's partiality, everyone wouldn't bother to talk to him.
Murong Duan has become numb to his son's act of shirking responsibility even at this time.He just said dumbly: "It turns out that you made the same mistakes over and over again because of this. But, the treasure? Where did the treasure come from!"
"Don't try to lie to me! I've heard people say that our Murong family has a great fortune, and we have accumulated countless treasures in the past generations. When we left the mainland, there were wars and horses. We were afraid of being bombarded, so we didn't bring it with us. Instead, we found a place to hide it. The place is well hidden, and the children and grandchildren are going to get it after the world is peaceful. Dad, if you don’t tell me, don’t you just don’t want to give it to me and want to leave it all to others?!”
Seeing his paranoid expression, Murong Duan sighed silently, and instead of answering, asked: "Xiao Wu, Ah Hui, do you know the treasure?"
Suddenly being called, the uncle and nephew looked at each other, Murong Hui helped Liang Zhenni who was still sobbing aside, scratched her head, and said, "I heard it from the servants when I was young."
"Oh? Then what do you think, do you want a piece of the pie too?"
Murong Hui said disapprovingly: "In troubled times, which family doesn't have one or two legends? My Chinese classmates often boasted that if the great-grandfathers hadn't lost a pack of gold bars when fleeing, their family would not have to squeeze into the apartment and could live in a spacious apartment." Furthermore, although rich people are afraid of revealing their wealth and being targeted by robbers when they go out at that time, what is the background of our Murong family? We are a top-notch bodyguard, who would dare to attack my family? Others may not dare to carry it on the road , Our family doesn’t have these worries. When I hear what those Filipino maids say, they just have nothing to do and want to gossip.”
Hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Murong Duan's face which had been stern for a long time.He glanced at Murong Qi, who was about to be struck by lightning, but then took a bit of sarcasm: "You heard it? A child can understand the truth, but you are still obsessed with it."
"No...it's impossible...I don't believe it! There must be a treasure! There must be a treasure!"
He has pursued the treasure persistently for many years, and even had a rift with his father and brother because of it, but it was revealed that it was just a rumor. How could Murong Qi accept it?He shook his head desperately, looking extremely nervous, repeating and stubbornly repeating in his mouth: "You lied to me, you all lied to me!"
Murong Duan originally wanted to take this opportunity to dispel his whimsical thoughts, but when his subordinates loosened the restraint a little, Murong Qi jumped away like a frightened rabbit, and couldn't stop thinking: "It must be hidden." I can't be wrong, I'm going to find it!"
While talking, he rummaged around and made a mess of things.
His crazy look made everyone frown.Mr. Qin, who originally came here to testify, saw that the young master was forced to this point, and his previous anger suddenly turned into uneasiness: "Fourth young master, don't be overwhelmed with shock and grief, you've lost your mind with phlegm, right?"
This is an old-fashioned way of saying it, but he awakened Murong Duan who was stunned.Striding forward, he decisively knocked his apparently unconscious son unconscious with a hand knife, and he said helplessly, "Let's find a doctor first."
The family's private doctor was notified by phone, and Murong Duan asked about the progress of Anxiangmen's matter.Knowing that the situation is under control and that the innocent woman who was abducted to the United States was rescued before being forced to meet her guests, she felt relieved and patted Murong Hui on the shoulder and said, "Good job."
It was rare to be praised by grandpa, but Murong Hui couldn't be happy.Fourth Uncle's behavior was worse than he thought, so he couldn't help but despise him.But just now, with his crazy appearance, as a relative, he couldn't help but feel pity.
Seeing that Murong Hui responded silently, Murong Duan was even more relieved: Before his grandson returned to China for a tour, when he told him about the world, he was worried that he would change his temper.Now it seems that he is overthinking.
Staring at the fourth son lying on the bed, Murong Duan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Perhaps I should have told you earlier, otherwise the fourth son would not have dreamed of something wrong and had such a virtue by birth - our family is a Tibetan in Sijiu City. To some extent, it may really be called a treasure."
Murong Hui nodded, with a delicate expression on his face: "The abducted women I rescued that night were all kept in the bilge with a lot of seafood in it. I thought it was prepared for inspection by the marine patrol. Now it seems that maybe..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew what he was going to say next, and couldn't help but focus on Murong Qi who kept scolding his wife.
Being caught by everyone, Murong Qi, who was already guilty, became more and more impatient. He gritted his teeth, and suddenly slapped Liang Zhenni on the face with a backhand: "Nonsense!
