Vengeful Mecha God [Rebirth]
Work related
The gentle puppy raised in the past has turned into the ruthless wolf in his memory.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Jian Hua carefully observed Shao Xulin, there seemed to be a lot of blood in his eyes, which made his eyes look blood red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Jian Hua looked into his eyes and asked.
Shao Xulin didn't answer.
As if in the previous life, at the same moment, the scene of that failed meeting reappeared.There was only Shao Xulin who was silently sneering, and Jian Hua who was finally speechless.
"Did they use torture to extract a confession?" Jian Hua asked again.
Shao Xulin still didn't answer.
Jian Hua was a little anxious and disappointed, she pressed her hand on the armrest next to her, not wanting that there was an emergency button on the armrest, the alarm immediately sounded "ding", and a guard poked her head in from outside the door, asking, "What's going on? "
"It's nothing, I pressed the wrong button, I will be careful." Jian Hua said hastily.
The guard turned around resentfully.
Jian Hua also sighed in a low voice, and sat back in her original position.
Only Shao Xulin sat where he was, and seemed not to be disturbed by external things at all.
Jian Hua thought about it.Standing up, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Shao Xulin. Shao Xulin raised his handcuffed hand, grabbed Jian Hua's hand, and shook it away fiercely.
Jian Hua finally understood what was going on, and firmly held Shao Xulin's hand.
Shao Xulin struggled a few times at first, as if realizing something, he slowly stopped.
Jian Hua parted Shao Xulin's cold palm, and wrote on his hand stroke by stroke: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Shao Xulin's expression relaxed for a moment, the nervous sneer that had been hanging on his face as a protective look disappeared, and he seemed to finally recognize who the person in front of him was.
"I can't see clearly." He wrote on Jian Hua's hand.
I don't know what happened to him, his hands were always cold and trembling, and if Jian Hua hadn't been concentrating on writing, it would have been almost unrecognizable.
"What about the ears?" Jian Hua wrote again.
Shao Xulin didn't write anything, just shook his head.
"Speak?" Jian Hua heavily placed a question mark on Shao Xulin's palm.
"Yes... yes..." Shao Xulin said slowly and with difficulty, his voice was hoarse, and the original deep and pleasant voice now seemed to be scratched on the metal.
Looking at Shao Xulin like this, it seemed that there was anger welling up in Jian Hua's heart, and she didn't know who to vent it to.
Shao Xulin felt Jian Hua's stiffness, and quickly wrote on his hand: "It's hard to hear?"
Jian Hua put both hands on Shao Xulin's, touched it gently, and wrote, "No. It always sounds good."
Shao Xulin didn't seem to believe it, but he still smiled, and finally there was a little blood on his blue and white face.
"Who did you see when you entered the adoptive father's office?" Jian Hua wrote quickly, and there was not much time. After getting used to this method, the tacit understanding between the two brothers for nearly ten years allowed them to quickly recognize each other's handwriting. , to understand the meaning of the other party.
"No." Shao Xulin wrote.
"Is there anything unusual?" Jian Hua continued to ask.
"No." After a pause, Shao Xulin wrote again, "The doors and windows are locked, it doesn't look like outsiders have invaded."
No evidence, no leads.Jian Hua lowered her head, feeling more and more heavy in her heart.
Shao Xulin felt the sudden silence of Jian Hua, and he had already given up hope in his heart. From the words of the special envoy of the capital, he felt that he was bound to die. It was already an unexpected joy to see Jian Hua again.
Shao Xulin suddenly wrote on Jian Hua's hand: "You go to the Youth Fortress. Don't stay in the satellite city. Leave immediately."
Jian Hua looked at Shao Xulin in astonishment, and after a while, she grabbed his palm with her backhand and drew another big question mark.
Shao Xulin wrote slowly and heavily: "Don't go back to the satellite cities, don't go to the capital. They are very insidious, you can't fight them."
He finally wrote: "I can't protect you anymore. You have to take care."
☆、The road ahead is boundless·2
Tao Shun was alone in the monitoring room.
Unlike those ambitious young people, Tao Shun is over 60 years old this year. No matter how ambitious he is, he will gradually wear down when he sees his gray hair in the mirror when he wakes up in the morning.He is a soldier and doesn't like to meddle in political affairs. Since the end of the war, he hasn't even been out of the satellite city. His only wish is to find a good home for his only daughter.Then, he can retire and tease his future little grandson or granddaughter at home.
Behind his military ID card, there is still a photo of his daughter when she was five years old, with big eyes and a round face.
He still remembered that at that time, when the general saw his daughter's photo, he laughed and said, "You're so beautiful, it's just right for us to marry Jian Hua when you grow up."
He has always taken this to heart.All along, seeing Jian Hua was like seeing a son-in-law.
Recently, she has become more and more disappointed with Jian Hua. Perhaps, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she should find someone else.
He stared at Jian Hua and Shao Xulin on the screen in front of him.
He knew that the two brothers might have something to say, so after sending Jian Hua into the meeting hall, he went to the monitoring room by himself and drove everyone else out.
——Maybe it’s because I watched their brothers grow up, and I don’t want them to be bullied by outsiders.
Head a little dizzy, temple throbbing pain.He is still too tired.
Tao Shun sat down on the chair and glanced at the pair of brothers on the screen again. His eyes became more blurred, so he simply turned off all the display devices.He leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.
As early as ten years ago, he had opposed the general's adoption of the child.Although the child looked so pitiful at that time, as thin as a wild cat cub on the side of the road.But those who know who the child's father is feel that as long as the child resembles his father, the future may be bloody.
But the general still adopted Shao Xulin.
Neither Jian Hua nor Yu Feicheng seemed to believe that Shao Xulin was the murderer, but there was no other way, if the special envoy said he was the murderer, then it would be him.
——Perhaps killing Shao Xulin will satisfy the palace.
With such complicated psychology in mind, Tao Shun followed the special envoy's arrangement in the past few days and gradually completed all the testimony and evidence in the case of Shao Xulin's murder of his father.
If there were no accidents, Shao Xulin would be escorted to the capital and executed soon.
Tao Shun felt more and more pain on both sides of his head.But he did some things with his own hands, so he has no right to apologize.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Tao Shun opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Who?" He had ordered just now that no one was allowed to come in.
"Mr. Tao, my order is that no one is allowed to see Shao Xulin. Do you have any objection to my arrangement?" The person who came in was the special envoy with a scar on his face. It was expected earlier, maybe someone tipped the news.
Tao Shun had no choice but to stand up, no matter what, he had to give face to the Queen's special envoy in the capital: "After all, we are a family. My brother killed my father. It is also right for my brother to ask what happened."
"Aren't you afraid that their brothers will collude and escape?" The man said with a sneer, walked over quickly, turned on the monitor, operated a few times, and suddenly his face was full of anger, and he turned to stare at Tao Shun, "Where's the surveillance record?"
"I deleted it just now," Tao Shun said calmly, "As I get older, my hands tend to shake."
"You!" The man was furious.
Tao Shun also ignored his anger and said, "I just want to ask Your Majesty the Special Envoy to report to Her Majesty the Queen. I'm getting older and my health is failing. Let me retire. I can't hold on to my current job."
Hearing what he said, the man calmed down instead, stared at Tao Shun for a while, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "What? Is Chief Tao dissatisfied with the palace's decision?"
Tao Shun shook his head, sighed and said, "I'm really old, I can't hold it anymore."
The man sneered and said: "Mr. Tao, you can't change anything if you leave. Yu Feicheng must continue to do what you haven't done. If he also drops the pick, there are more people waiting for the position of Satellite City .”
Tao Shun was unmoved, and said, "I may have to rest for a while. I'd better leave things like satellite cities to those young people."
The man frowned: The boss of Shao Xulin's case, according to the order of the palace, the sooner the better, if Tao Shun refuses to do it, it may take a little longer.
The man suddenly smirked and said, "Officer Tao's only daughter, seems to be studying at the Capital Women's University?"
Speaking of his beloved daughter, Tao Shun finally had some reaction. He looked at the man uncomfortably and said, "Yes, I graduated this year."
"Does Chief Tao know where Miss Tao is now?" the man said, as if he had a plan in mind.
"It is said that I went on a graduation trip with my classmates." Tao Shun said, not knowing why, he gradually became uneasy.
The man sneered and said, "Miss Tao is filial, I'm afraid you might be worried about telling a lie."
"What did you say?" Tao Shun's eyes sharpened immediately, and his voice became louder.
The man said: "Originally this matter was still a secret. The capital recently caught a group of spies who were planning to rebel against the Northern City. They followed the vines and found many people who had private contacts with the Northern City. Mr. Tao hasn't cared about Miss Tao for a long time, right? She But he has very close contacts with people in the northern city."
"Impossible," Tao Shun said, "People in the satellite city have never had any friendship with the northern city. I have taught her since she was a child."
The man didn't speak, but looked at Tao Shun with a sinister smile.
After a while, Tao Shun let out a long sigh.
The man patted Tao Shun on the shoulder and said: "The palace appreciates you very much. With your face, it is not difficult for Miss Tao to be released."
After a few minutes, Tao Shun seemed to be ten years older again. After a long time, he said dryly, "What do I need?"
"Close the case as soon as possible," the man said. "It's not good if the case drags on for a long time."
Tao Shun still wanted to struggle, and said, "Even if we close the case here, there will be a public trial in the capital. You have tortured Shao Xulin to such a state that you will not be able to convince the public in the capital."
"Then let him die early." The man said lightly.
Tao Shun raised his eyes and stared at the man.
The man laughed and said, "Anyway, he is going to die. Wouldn't it be the same if he died sooner or later? Let him die in a satellite city, commit suicide, die accidentally, or be killed by an admirer of the old general, it doesn't matter. This is still yours." Let's do it."
Tao Shun looked at the man with anger gradually in his eyes.
But the man didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice: "Yu Feicheng is still too careless, young man, unreliable, let Chief Tao do such an important matter." Looking into Tao Shun's eyes, he said again: " Tao Jingnan's crimes can be big or small, and her life is in your hands."
Hearing his daughter's name, the anger in Tao Shun's eyes dimmed little by little.
—Do you hate Dad?
In the meeting room, Jian Hua wrote in Shao Xulin's hand.
Shao Xulin seemed to hesitate for a while, said without writing, "I love him."
Two officers came in from the outside and urged Jian Hua to leave.
——It seems that the special envoy has already adjourned the meeting.
Jian Hua stood up helplessly and bid farewell to Shao Xulin.Shao Xulin let go of Jian Hua's hand, his lips moved, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Jian Hua guessed what he wanted to say, held his hand, and quickly wrote: "I know".
A few days ago, they passed each other in the detention center.Shao Xulin anxiously said to Jian Hua: "I didn't." He didn't kill the general, he was innocent.
Now Jian Hua gave the answer: "I know."
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Shao Xulin's eyes, as if a drop of water was about to roll down.
Originally, he was already desperate, and no one believed him.
——Fortunately, Jian Hua still believed in him.Fortunately, there is a brother.
but……
"Leave me alone, let's go. Remember to avenge the general." He said hoarsely.
He didn't want to drag Jian Hua into the enmity between himself and the palace, he knew that he would die for sure.
Shao Xulin would rather die by himself, while Jian Hua stayed in the Youth Fortress all his life and became a respected and excellent officer.
With Jian Hua's three words, he thought he could rest assured.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·3
Walking out of the detention center, the bustling crowd on the street brought Jian Hua back to her senses.
Under the management of the adoptive father, the satellite city is no longer an ordinary military base, but more like a small city.In addition to the barracks, military research institute, command center, etc. in the front city, there are bustling streets, lively residential areas and fashionable and beautiful girls and boys in the back city.Because the adoptive father has won the trust of Her Majesty the Queen, all the novelties in the capital can be found in the satellite cities.
The streets are covered with black gauze, and the whole city is commemorating the dead old city lord.
Jian Hua raised her head and looked at the black and white portrait of her adoptive father on the big screen opposite her, feeling as if her heart was blocked by something.
There were a few children on the street corner, and they were throwing stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and all kinds of rubbish somewhere on the wall.When Jian Hua passed by, she saw a magnified photo of Shao Xulin on the wall, with a big cross drawn on his face with red paint.
People express their hatred in ancient and childish ways.
Suddenly, Jian Hua saw a familiar old man sitting on the road ahead.
"Colonel Tao, why are you here alone?" Jian Hua chased after him a few steps, looking around nervously, the old man's driver and guards were not around.
"I let them go first, I want to walk alone." The old man's expression was very strange, as if he was feeling lost.
Jian Hua was worried. Now that her adoptive father was dead, if something happened to the second-in-command Tao Shun in the satellite city, the satellite city would definitely fall into chaos.
"I'll accompany you." Jian Hua said.
"No need, I'm a little tired," the old man's tiredness was evident on his face, "I'll be fine after a while."
Jian Hua thought for a while, then sat down on the ground next to him, and said, "Do you need to call the doctor?"
"No need," said the old man, rubbing the space between his brows with his hand, "I don't have time."
Jian Hua turned her head and looked at the old man's white hair that appeared overnight, as well as the wrinkles on his face, and his back that seemed to be bent instantly: "You have worked hard."
The old man gave a low laugh, then suddenly looked at Jian Hua, and said lovingly, "You've worked hard too."
Jian Hua shook her head and lowered her face: "I can't help you, I can't do anything, I'm useless."
"How can you say that?" The old man patted Jian Hua on the back, "The boys in Satellite City, you are very capable and outstanding. From now on, I may depend on you."
Jian Hua didn't speak, and watched the bustling street ahead with the old man.
"It's so beautiful..." The old man murmured, as if talking to himself, "The satellite city... a generation, a lifetime of painstaking efforts."
Jian Hua also looked at the colorful flowers and neon lights.
"In whose hands will it be destroyed?" Tao Shun said suddenly, with a strange tone in his voice.
Jian Hua's heart trembled, the prosperity in front of her eyes suddenly turned into a piece of scorched earth in the memory of her previous life, and her heart ached uncontrollably: "I will protect the satellite city well. I won't let anyone hurt it again."
Tao Shun looked at Jian Hua with approval in his eyes, and said, "Good boy. Work hard."
With heavy hearts in mind, the two remained silent for a long time, as time passed by their sides minute by minute.
Night fell gradually.
"You..." Tao Shun said, "You will be alone in the future, so you must protect yourself."
Just now, in the reception room, Shao Xulin said to Jian Hua, "You have to take care".
Tao Shun and Shao Xulin seemed to have the same worries about Jian Hua.
"There are many doubts in the case, Shao Xulin should be innocent." Jian Hua said with a serious tone.
Tao Shun just smiled faintly: "Actually, it doesn't matter."
"I want to find out the truth." Jian Hua said, looking ahead.
"What kind of truth do you want?" Tao Shun seemed unable to bear to interrupt the young man's idealism, and said tactfully, "Now it has become an iron case. Everyone, the special envoy, and even Her Majesty the Queen behind the special envoy say that Shao Xulin is Murderer. How many people do you want to offend with extra problems?"
"But I can't accept such a hasty conclusion of the case." Jian Hua said.
Tao Shun was silent for a while, then said: "The Shao family is indeed pitiful. Both generations of father and son will die in unsolved cases."
Jian Hua heard that his tone had softened, and asked hopefully, "Can you... help me?"
After a long time, I heard Tao Shun say in a low voice, "...I'm sorry."
——On the day his adoptive father died, his last words were to Jian Hua, "I'm sorry".
"Thank you." Jian Hua said, he knew that Tao Shun had done his best.
"In two days, your father's ashes will be buried. Maybe the special envoy will allow Shao Xulin to participate in the ceremony." Tao Shun said suddenly.
Jian Hua was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Would he be so... kind?"
Tao Shun smiled strangely.
——Under the coercion of the man with the scar, he had already arranged for someone to assassinate Shao Xulin.
The hints he gave Jian Hua could only go so far. Next, let's see if the young man can comprehend it.
After saying this, Tao Shun suddenly felt relieved, as if the heavy stone that had been pressing on his forehead had been removed.Feel a burst of relief.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back." Jian Hua stood up and said.
Tao Shun shook his head, looked at the lit street lamps on the street, and said, "I'll stay for a while."
Jian Hua looked at him, her expression suddenly changed, she knelt down in front of him, carefully observing his face.
"Don't move, I'll call the doctor." Jian Hua said, and immediately ran to the opposite side, shouting something to the patrolman.
Tao Shun also felt that something was wrong with him, and his head became more and more dizzy.His hands and feet were gradually becoming uncontrollable.
His hands trembled like dead leaves in winter. With the last bit of strength, he took out his military ID card from his pocket and saw the photo of his daughter behind it.
——I can still hear the voice of the little girl calling her father sweetly.
"How come the child is disobedient when he grows up." He said in a low voice, distressed.
The photo fell to the ground along with the military ID.
The smiling face of the little girl, together with the shredded paper and fallen leaves, swirled in the wind.
Soon, many people gathered around.
The doctor hurriedly helped the old man who was lying on the side of the road to give first aid, and carried him to the ambulance that Wuwawa had rushed to.
Jian Hua stood on the street at night, surrounded by panicked crowd, feeling like she was having a strange dream.
After an unknown amount of time, a person walked up to Jian Hua's side and patted him on the shoulder.
It is Yufei City.
There was no expression on his face, so his psychology could not be seen.
"Cerebral hemorrhage, it can't be saved," Yu Feicheng said, then added after a pause, "Recently, he's too tired and under a lot of psychological pressure..."
Jian Hua didn't seem to hear it.He is looking at the middle of the road.
A black car passed by there.The car window slid down, and a face with a scar between the brows poked out of the car window, looking grimly at the commotion on the street.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel Jian Hua's gaze, and cast his gaze from there.
Across the crowd, the two looked at each other coldly.
The stars in the night sky seem to be the pitying eyes of the adoptive father and Tao Shun, two old people.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·4
On the day my adoptive father was buried, the sky was covered with dark clouds from early morning.
The dark clouds are like a thick and colorful ink painting, and they seem to be pressing directly on the top of the satellite city.
Covering the sun, the entire city, along with it, showed a leaden gray color.
Under everyone's eyes, the adoptive father's coffin slowly circled the city and arrived at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
It seems that countless people gathered here to bid farewell to their old city lord.The closest one was a large group of neatly lined up soldiers, wearing dark blue military uniforms, sending off the coffin engraved with the emblem of the satellite city into the ground amidst the sound of mourning.
Jian Hua stood closest to the tombstone, looked at the sealed tomb, and silently recited every word commemorated on the tombstone in her heart.The surrounding was very quiet and solemn, but there was always a noise like running water, echoing in his ears.
Yu Feicheng stood beside him.Since the old city lord and Tao Shun both passed away, he became the deputy city lord of the satellite city, dealing with special envoys from the capital every day, and was extremely busy.
"It's going to rain." Yu Feicheng whispered to Jian Hua.
Jian Hua looked at the sky, indeed, lightning flashed from time to time in the dark clouds in the distance, indicating that a storm was approaching.The funeral also ended unconsciously, and the crowd was slowly loosening and dispersing.
At this moment, a prison car galloped from a distant path and stopped suddenly at the bottom of the long steps.
The car came strangely, and many people who left stopped.
The car door opened, and the first person to get out of the car was the special envoy of the capital with a scar on his face. He was wearing a dark uniform of the Royal Guards, with a solemn expression. He slowly glanced at everyone present, and his eyes stopped on the tombstone of his adoptive father.
He then turned around and pulled a man from the car.
It was Shao Xulin, who was wearing a white prison uniform. His eyes were tightly tied from the back of his head by a black cloth, and his hands and feet were connected with chains, preventing him from making any major movements.The black cloth covering his eyes was not too small, covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
There was a small commotion around first, and then a young man's angry voice sounded: "What is he doing here?"
Soon the commotion broke out, and the curses continued.
The Scar Envoy ignored the anger of the person next to him, and slightly tilted his head.Two men in military uniforms similar to his came down from the other side of the prison cart, pushing Shao Xulin and pulling him towards the tombstone.
Their actions were very rough. Shao Xulin was barefoot, pushed to the ground by them, and then dragged forward savagely.The swearing around was louder, and the soldiers couldn't restrain their anger when they saw the murderer who killed the old city lord.
Jian Hua knew that Shao Xulin couldn't hear her, but she still couldn't help but took a step forward, as if she wanted to stand up and say something.Yu Feicheng raised his hand to block it.
Jian Hua turned his face to the side, Yu Feicheng looked at him deeply, and shook his head.
Shao Xulin was quickly staggered and pulled closer.
"Son of a traitor!"
"Murderer!"
In the past few days, Shao Xulin's life experience and crimes have been spread all over the satellite city. It is difficult for everyone to accept that the old city lord died at the hands of his adopted son, and they hate Shao Xulin even more.Seeing him at this time, the crowd couldn't control their excitement.
"Bastard bastard!" I don't know who took the lead, several people rushed over first, squeezed away the guards escorting Shao Xulin, and slammed their fists on him.
Started alone, naturally more people followed, fists and kicks kept falling on Shao Xulin.
Shao Xulin's ears were injured during the previous torture, and he temporarily lost his hearing. At this time, his eyes were also covered. He didn't know his surroundings, but he was used to beating these days.It's like going back to the wandering time when I was a child.It's just the pride in his heart—the pride that has grown up under the protection of his adoptive father and Jian Hua for so many years, so even if he can't resist, he has to stand upright again and again, and refuses to bow his head in front of the enemy.
As a result, the rioting crowd was even more annoyed.
The man with the scar seemed to be very happy to see such a scene. He stood not far away with his arms folded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, watching everything here.Two of his men did not block the angry people, but withdrew from the crowd.
Jian Hua originally wanted to see what the scarred man's purpose was, but at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed Yu Feicheng to block her hand, as if she wanted to say something.
"You can't move!" Yu Feicheng took a step, stood in front of Jian Hua, and warned.Now that the satellite city has lost the old city lord and Tao Shun one after another, if Jian Hua makes any unusual moves, she may lose the support and trust of the palace.
"He didn't kill my father." Jian Hua looked at Yu Feicheng and said.
Yu Feicheng smiled coldly and said, "You have no evidence."
"I have." Jian Hua said slowly.
Taking advantage of Yu Feicheng's daze, Jian Hua pushed him away, walked to the edge of the crowd, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to make a noise in front of the old city lord's tomb!"
In a word, most people were stunned.
The people who calmed down looked at Jian Hua's serious face, and at the portrait of the old castellan on the tombstone, they all hesitated and took a few steps back.
As Jian Hua walked over, everyone around him dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Shao Xulin, who couldn't hear or see, barely stood up.
Jian Hua walked up to him and took one of his hands.Shao Xulin was shocked at first, as if he was about to break free, but he soon felt the familiar temperature, and the defensive breath on his body weakened a lot in an instant.
Jian Hua took his hand and pressed it on the engraved lettering in front of the tombstone of her adoptive father.
Shao Xulin seemed to realize something, groped over the tombstone with his hands, and read out the inscription of his adoptive father.
He slowly bent down and put his head on the tombstone of his adoptive father, as if expressing his deepest reverence and sorrow.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark clouds in the sky, and big raindrops fell down one after another.
Shao Xulin's fingers brushed over the edge of his adoptive father's tombstone and clenched it tightly.
His face was soon wet with rain.
——The adoptive father devoted infinite paternal love and protection to the two adopted sons. They didn't understand until Jian Hua and Shao Xulin had to face the blows from the world by themselves when he passed away.
Shao Xulin's clothes were very thin, and were quickly wet by the rain, with blood stains seeping slowly from the bottom of the clothes along with the rain.
The neighbors let out a few small exclamations. Their fists and kicks just now seemed unable to cause such damage.
Jian Hua understood in her heart, and only took another deep look at the Scar envoy from the crowd, took off her overcoat, and put it on Shao Xulin's body.
Special Envoy Scar originally brought Shao Xulin here, on the one hand, to implement the plan Tao Shun made before his death, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use Shao Xulin's appearance to arouse the anger of the officers and soldiers in the satellite city.She didn't expect that Jian Hua would stop the angry crowd, nor did she expect that Shao Xulin would do such a thing in front of the old general in the satellite city.
He frowned and gestured to his subordinates.
When Shao Xulin was under siege, the two guards who had been watching the show with their hands in their hands walked over immediately, grabbed Shao Xulin, and said, "We have to go."
One of them wanted to pull Jian Hua's coat from Shao Xulin's body and throw it back to him.Although Jian Hua's whole body was already wet by the rain, she still said, "Let him wear it, and give it to me when he gets in the car."
His voice and eyes were stern, and the guard had just seen the blood on Shao Xulin's body. He was afraid that he would have an attack, so he didn't dare to disobey him for a while, but continued to drag Shao Xulin savagely for a long distance, and returned to the prison car.
"Murderer!" A stone flew over from nowhere and hit Shao Xulin's forehead.
As if colluding, more voices immediately began to curse, and someone picked up anything they could pick up from the side of the road and threw it at Shao Xulin.
——There is a situation!Jian Hua soon realized that the "murderer" that sounded just now was very similar to the "What is he doing here?" that aroused everyone's emotions earlier, and it was very likely that it was the same person.
The two guards disappeared again, leaving Shao Xulin alone to face the angry crowd.
Jian Hua didn't have time to think about it, she stepped forward a few steps, blocked in front of Shao Xulin, looked around, looking for the person who spoke.
"Is Commander Jane going to shelter the murderer?" The voice said with a sneer.
Jian Hua finally found the man who spoke in the crowd, a young military officer with an unfamiliar appearance.
The man's words immediately ignited the anger of the crowd, and the people who had gradually calmed down rushed forward excitedly.From time to time, his fists came to Jian Hua's front.
Shao Xulin seemed to feel something, and suddenly grabbed Jian Hua, and pushed him behind him: "What are you coming at me, don't touch my brother!"
In the past few days, his throat seemed to have been seriously injured, and his voice was like a torn silk.
——Shao Xulin at that time, even if he couldn't see or hear, he still hoped that he could stand in front of Jian Hua and shield him from the wind and rain.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·5
Hearing Shao Xulin's words, the crowd was quiet for a moment, and immediately became more excited under the instigation of caring people.
"White-eyed wolf also knows Brother and Brother Gong?" someone said.
"The general acted like him before he died!" said another voice.
The crowd got closer and closer, Shao Xulin tried his best to keep Jian Hua behind him, but Jian Hua held his hand hard, trying to push him into the car.
Surprisingly, when Jian Hua was about to send Shao Xulin into the car, the car door slammed shut.
--on purpose!
Jian Hua was stunned for a moment, the crowd that rushed over separated him from Shao Xulin, and several people stood in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, preventing him from approaching Shao Xulin.There was a mess in front of my eyes, figures were shaking, and the sound of cursing and footsteps was deafening.
"Don't move!" Jian Hua shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned in the sea of noise, unable to stir up any splashes.
There were punches and kicks, shouts and curses, and Jian Hua could faintly hear someone screaming in pain.He lowered his head and seemed to see blood stains on the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" It was three gunshots that quelled the commotion.
Alarmed by the gunshots, everyone stopped their aggressive actions and turned their heads in astonishment.It was Jian Hua, with a face as frosty, holding a gun to the sky.
A position like the eye of a storm slowly appeared in the crowd. In the center of the silent storm, a man fell face down on the ground, with blood gushing out from under his body. The blood was mixed into the soil on the ground together.
Jian Hua pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the man. The man's back looked very much like Shao Xulin's hair, but when he turned over, he was not. He was a young soldier with a childish face, and the wound on his back was caused by the blade.A few steps away on the ground, a dagger fell into the dirt.
Jian Hua hurriedly looked around and saw Shao Xulin leaning against the prison cart. Although his hair and clothes were covered with mud, there seemed to be no more wounds.
Only then did she feel relieved, and Jian Hua said to a little soldier nearby, "Go to the doctor!"
The little soldier immediately turned around and ran out as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Others also seemed to be shocked by the sudden turn of events. They woke up from the heat of their heads, and some regretted it. Looking at the seriously injured comrades on the ground, they quietly retreated out of the crowd.
"Don't move!" Jian Hua said sharply, "Is this the discipline of the satellite city?"
"You! And you!" He pointed out the two people who were the first to incite the crowd and create a commotion, "And you, and you!" Of these two people, one had blood on his sleeve, and the other had blood splattered under his hem .
"These four are suspected." Jian Hua said as she looked at Yu Feicheng who was walking down the steps.Although he recognized the person who took the lead in making trouble and the murderer who hurt others, he was still an officer of the Youth Fortress after all, so he couldn't intervene in the incident in the satellite city.
Yu Feicheng's face was also as dark as a dark cloud. Originally, he didn't want to control the anger of the young officers, but after seeing the bloodshed and the similarity between the injured person's figure and Shao Xulin's, he suddenly realized that someone was among them. The purpose of intervening is to kill Shao Xulin.
"Lock them all up for me! I'll interrogate this afternoon!" Yu Feicheng said, he is now the acting commander of the satellite city, and all matters are decided by him.
Looking at the other people present, Yu Feicheng said, "The others will be locked up for a month."
The order was issued, and people who looked like inspectors rushed over and took away all the young soldiers who participated in the disturbance. The four people pointed out by Jian Hua were controlled by the people around Yu Feicheng.
Nurses arrived to give first aid to the man who was injured and convulsed on the ground, but soon they shook their heads helplessly, the knife was stabbed hard and deep, straight into the heart.
Jian Hua walked to Shao Xulin's side, and wiped off the muddy water on his face with her palm.
The special envoy with the scar on his face was standing at a distance watching the play with his subordinates. Seeing that the situation gradually calmed down, while Shao Xulin was intact, he killed an innocent young man instead, and his face darkened.His lips moved, as if he was cursing something silently.
Jian Huahui
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Jian Hua carefully observed Shao Xulin, there seemed to be a lot of blood in his eyes, which made his eyes look blood red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Jian Hua looked into his eyes and asked.
Shao Xulin didn't answer.
As if in the previous life, at the same moment, the scene of that failed meeting reappeared.There was only Shao Xulin who was silently sneering, and Jian Hua who was finally speechless.
"Did they use torture to extract a confession?" Jian Hua asked again.
Shao Xulin still didn't answer.
Jian Hua was a little anxious and disappointed, she pressed her hand on the armrest next to her, not wanting that there was an emergency button on the armrest, the alarm immediately sounded "ding", and a guard poked her head in from outside the door, asking, "What's going on? "
"It's nothing, I pressed the wrong button, I will be careful." Jian Hua said hastily.
The guard turned around resentfully.
Jian Hua also sighed in a low voice, and sat back in her original position.
Only Shao Xulin sat where he was, and seemed not to be disturbed by external things at all.
Jian Hua thought about it.Standing up, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Shao Xulin. Shao Xulin raised his handcuffed hand, grabbed Jian Hua's hand, and shook it away fiercely.
Jian Hua finally understood what was going on, and firmly held Shao Xulin's hand.
Shao Xulin struggled a few times at first, as if realizing something, he slowly stopped.
Jian Hua parted Shao Xulin's cold palm, and wrote on his hand stroke by stroke: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Shao Xulin's expression relaxed for a moment, the nervous sneer that had been hanging on his face as a protective look disappeared, and he seemed to finally recognize who the person in front of him was.
"I can't see clearly." He wrote on Jian Hua's hand.
I don't know what happened to him, his hands were always cold and trembling, and if Jian Hua hadn't been concentrating on writing, it would have been almost unrecognizable.
"What about the ears?" Jian Hua wrote again.
Shao Xulin didn't write anything, just shook his head.
"Speak?" Jian Hua heavily placed a question mark on Shao Xulin's palm.
"Yes... yes..." Shao Xulin said slowly and with difficulty, his voice was hoarse, and the original deep and pleasant voice now seemed to be scratched on the metal.
Looking at Shao Xulin like this, it seemed that there was anger welling up in Jian Hua's heart, and she didn't know who to vent it to.
Shao Xulin felt Jian Hua's stiffness, and quickly wrote on his hand: "It's hard to hear?"
Jian Hua put both hands on Shao Xulin's, touched it gently, and wrote, "No. It always sounds good."
Shao Xulin didn't seem to believe it, but he still smiled, and finally there was a little blood on his blue and white face.
"Who did you see when you entered the adoptive father's office?" Jian Hua wrote quickly, and there was not much time. After getting used to this method, the tacit understanding between the two brothers for nearly ten years allowed them to quickly recognize each other's handwriting. , to understand the meaning of the other party.
"No." Shao Xulin wrote.
"Is there anything unusual?" Jian Hua continued to ask.
"No." After a pause, Shao Xulin wrote again, "The doors and windows are locked, it doesn't look like outsiders have invaded."
No evidence, no leads.Jian Hua lowered her head, feeling more and more heavy in her heart.
Shao Xulin felt the sudden silence of Jian Hua, and he had already given up hope in his heart. From the words of the special envoy of the capital, he felt that he was bound to die. It was already an unexpected joy to see Jian Hua again.
Shao Xulin suddenly wrote on Jian Hua's hand: "You go to the Youth Fortress. Don't stay in the satellite city. Leave immediately."
Jian Hua looked at Shao Xulin in astonishment, and after a while, she grabbed his palm with her backhand and drew another big question mark.
Shao Xulin wrote slowly and heavily: "Don't go back to the satellite cities, don't go to the capital. They are very insidious, you can't fight them."
He finally wrote: "I can't protect you anymore. You have to take care."
☆、The road ahead is boundless·2
Tao Shun was alone in the monitoring room.
Unlike those ambitious young people, Tao Shun is over 60 years old this year. No matter how ambitious he is, he will gradually wear down when he sees his gray hair in the mirror when he wakes up in the morning.He is a soldier and doesn't like to meddle in political affairs. Since the end of the war, he hasn't even been out of the satellite city. His only wish is to find a good home for his only daughter.Then, he can retire and tease his future little grandson or granddaughter at home.
Behind his military ID card, there is still a photo of his daughter when she was five years old, with big eyes and a round face.
He still remembered that at that time, when the general saw his daughter's photo, he laughed and said, "You're so beautiful, it's just right for us to marry Jian Hua when you grow up."
He has always taken this to heart.All along, seeing Jian Hua was like seeing a son-in-law.
Recently, she has become more and more disappointed with Jian Hua. Perhaps, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she should find someone else.
He stared at Jian Hua and Shao Xulin on the screen in front of him.
He knew that the two brothers might have something to say, so after sending Jian Hua into the meeting hall, he went to the monitoring room by himself and drove everyone else out.
——Maybe it’s because I watched their brothers grow up, and I don’t want them to be bullied by outsiders.
Head a little dizzy, temple throbbing pain.He is still too tired.
Tao Shun sat down on the chair and glanced at the pair of brothers on the screen again. His eyes became more blurred, so he simply turned off all the display devices.He leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.
As early as ten years ago, he had opposed the general's adoption of the child.Although the child looked so pitiful at that time, as thin as a wild cat cub on the side of the road.But those who know who the child's father is feel that as long as the child resembles his father, the future may be bloody.
But the general still adopted Shao Xulin.
Neither Jian Hua nor Yu Feicheng seemed to believe that Shao Xulin was the murderer, but there was no other way, if the special envoy said he was the murderer, then it would be him.
——Perhaps killing Shao Xulin will satisfy the palace.
With such complicated psychology in mind, Tao Shun followed the special envoy's arrangement in the past few days and gradually completed all the testimony and evidence in the case of Shao Xulin's murder of his father.
If there were no accidents, Shao Xulin would be escorted to the capital and executed soon.
Tao Shun felt more and more pain on both sides of his head.But he did some things with his own hands, so he has no right to apologize.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Tao Shun opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Who?" He had ordered just now that no one was allowed to come in.
"Mr. Tao, my order is that no one is allowed to see Shao Xulin. Do you have any objection to my arrangement?" The person who came in was the special envoy with a scar on his face. It was expected earlier, maybe someone tipped the news.
Tao Shun had no choice but to stand up, no matter what, he had to give face to the Queen's special envoy in the capital: "After all, we are a family. My brother killed my father. It is also right for my brother to ask what happened."
"Aren't you afraid that their brothers will collude and escape?" The man said with a sneer, walked over quickly, turned on the monitor, operated a few times, and suddenly his face was full of anger, and he turned to stare at Tao Shun, "Where's the surveillance record?"
"I deleted it just now," Tao Shun said calmly, "As I get older, my hands tend to shake."
"You!" The man was furious.
Tao Shun also ignored his anger and said, "I just want to ask Your Majesty the Special Envoy to report to Her Majesty the Queen. I'm getting older and my health is failing. Let me retire. I can't hold on to my current job."
Hearing what he said, the man calmed down instead, stared at Tao Shun for a while, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "What? Is Chief Tao dissatisfied with the palace's decision?"
Tao Shun shook his head, sighed and said, "I'm really old, I can't hold it anymore."
The man sneered and said: "Mr. Tao, you can't change anything if you leave. Yu Feicheng must continue to do what you haven't done. If he also drops the pick, there are more people waiting for the position of Satellite City .”
Tao Shun was unmoved, and said, "I may have to rest for a while. I'd better leave things like satellite cities to those young people."
The man frowned: The boss of Shao Xulin's case, according to the order of the palace, the sooner the better, if Tao Shun refuses to do it, it may take a little longer.
The man suddenly smirked and said, "Officer Tao's only daughter, seems to be studying at the Capital Women's University?"
Speaking of his beloved daughter, Tao Shun finally had some reaction. He looked at the man uncomfortably and said, "Yes, I graduated this year."
"Does Chief Tao know where Miss Tao is now?" the man said, as if he had a plan in mind.
"It is said that I went on a graduation trip with my classmates." Tao Shun said, not knowing why, he gradually became uneasy.
The man sneered and said, "Miss Tao is filial, I'm afraid you might be worried about telling a lie."
"What did you say?" Tao Shun's eyes sharpened immediately, and his voice became louder.
The man said: "Originally this matter was still a secret. The capital recently caught a group of spies who were planning to rebel against the Northern City. They followed the vines and found many people who had private contacts with the Northern City. Mr. Tao hasn't cared about Miss Tao for a long time, right? She But he has very close contacts with people in the northern city."
"Impossible," Tao Shun said, "People in the satellite city have never had any friendship with the northern city. I have taught her since she was a child."
The man didn't speak, but looked at Tao Shun with a sinister smile.
After a while, Tao Shun let out a long sigh.
The man patted Tao Shun on the shoulder and said: "The palace appreciates you very much. With your face, it is not difficult for Miss Tao to be released."
After a few minutes, Tao Shun seemed to be ten years older again. After a long time, he said dryly, "What do I need?"
"Close the case as soon as possible," the man said. "It's not good if the case drags on for a long time."
Tao Shun still wanted to struggle, and said, "Even if we close the case here, there will be a public trial in the capital. You have tortured Shao Xulin to such a state that you will not be able to convince the public in the capital."
"Then let him die early." The man said lightly.
Tao Shun raised his eyes and stared at the man.
The man laughed and said, "Anyway, he is going to die. Wouldn't it be the same if he died sooner or later? Let him die in a satellite city, commit suicide, die accidentally, or be killed by an admirer of the old general, it doesn't matter. This is still yours." Let's do it."
Tao Shun looked at the man with anger gradually in his eyes.
But the man didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice: "Yu Feicheng is still too careless, young man, unreliable, let Chief Tao do such an important matter." Looking into Tao Shun's eyes, he said again: " Tao Jingnan's crimes can be big or small, and her life is in your hands."
Hearing his daughter's name, the anger in Tao Shun's eyes dimmed little by little.
—Do you hate Dad?
In the meeting room, Jian Hua wrote in Shao Xulin's hand.
Shao Xulin seemed to hesitate for a while, said without writing, "I love him."
Two officers came in from the outside and urged Jian Hua to leave.
——It seems that the special envoy has already adjourned the meeting.
Jian Hua stood up helplessly and bid farewell to Shao Xulin.Shao Xulin let go of Jian Hua's hand, his lips moved, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Jian Hua guessed what he wanted to say, held his hand, and quickly wrote: "I know".
A few days ago, they passed each other in the detention center.Shao Xulin anxiously said to Jian Hua: "I didn't." He didn't kill the general, he was innocent.
Now Jian Hua gave the answer: "I know."
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Shao Xulin's eyes, as if a drop of water was about to roll down.
Originally, he was already desperate, and no one believed him.
——Fortunately, Jian Hua still believed in him.Fortunately, there is a brother.
but……
"Leave me alone, let's go. Remember to avenge the general." He said hoarsely.
He didn't want to drag Jian Hua into the enmity between himself and the palace, he knew that he would die for sure.
Shao Xulin would rather die by himself, while Jian Hua stayed in the Youth Fortress all his life and became a respected and excellent officer.
With Jian Hua's three words, he thought he could rest assured.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·3
Walking out of the detention center, the bustling crowd on the street brought Jian Hua back to her senses.
Under the management of the adoptive father, the satellite city is no longer an ordinary military base, but more like a small city.In addition to the barracks, military research institute, command center, etc. in the front city, there are bustling streets, lively residential areas and fashionable and beautiful girls and boys in the back city.Because the adoptive father has won the trust of Her Majesty the Queen, all the novelties in the capital can be found in the satellite cities.
The streets are covered with black gauze, and the whole city is commemorating the dead old city lord.
Jian Hua raised her head and looked at the black and white portrait of her adoptive father on the big screen opposite her, feeling as if her heart was blocked by something.
There were a few children on the street corner, and they were throwing stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and all kinds of rubbish somewhere on the wall.When Jian Hua passed by, she saw a magnified photo of Shao Xulin on the wall, with a big cross drawn on his face with red paint.
People express their hatred in ancient and childish ways.
Suddenly, Jian Hua saw a familiar old man sitting on the road ahead.
"Colonel Tao, why are you here alone?" Jian Hua chased after him a few steps, looking around nervously, the old man's driver and guards were not around.
"I let them go first, I want to walk alone." The old man's expression was very strange, as if he was feeling lost.
Jian Hua was worried. Now that her adoptive father was dead, if something happened to the second-in-command Tao Shun in the satellite city, the satellite city would definitely fall into chaos.
"I'll accompany you." Jian Hua said.
"No need, I'm a little tired," the old man's tiredness was evident on his face, "I'll be fine after a while."
Jian Hua thought for a while, then sat down on the ground next to him, and said, "Do you need to call the doctor?"
"No need," said the old man, rubbing the space between his brows with his hand, "I don't have time."
Jian Hua turned her head and looked at the old man's white hair that appeared overnight, as well as the wrinkles on his face, and his back that seemed to be bent instantly: "You have worked hard."
The old man gave a low laugh, then suddenly looked at Jian Hua, and said lovingly, "You've worked hard too."
Jian Hua shook her head and lowered her face: "I can't help you, I can't do anything, I'm useless."
"How can you say that?" The old man patted Jian Hua on the back, "The boys in Satellite City, you are very capable and outstanding. From now on, I may depend on you."
Jian Hua didn't speak, and watched the bustling street ahead with the old man.
"It's so beautiful..." The old man murmured, as if talking to himself, "The satellite city... a generation, a lifetime of painstaking efforts."
Jian Hua also looked at the colorful flowers and neon lights.
"In whose hands will it be destroyed?" Tao Shun said suddenly, with a strange tone in his voice.
Jian Hua's heart trembled, the prosperity in front of her eyes suddenly turned into a piece of scorched earth in the memory of her previous life, and her heart ached uncontrollably: "I will protect the satellite city well. I won't let anyone hurt it again."
Tao Shun looked at Jian Hua with approval in his eyes, and said, "Good boy. Work hard."
With heavy hearts in mind, the two remained silent for a long time, as time passed by their sides minute by minute.
Night fell gradually.
"You..." Tao Shun said, "You will be alone in the future, so you must protect yourself."
Just now, in the reception room, Shao Xulin said to Jian Hua, "You have to take care".
Tao Shun and Shao Xulin seemed to have the same worries about Jian Hua.
"There are many doubts in the case, Shao Xulin should be innocent." Jian Hua said with a serious tone.
Tao Shun just smiled faintly: "Actually, it doesn't matter."
"I want to find out the truth." Jian Hua said, looking ahead.
"What kind of truth do you want?" Tao Shun seemed unable to bear to interrupt the young man's idealism, and said tactfully, "Now it has become an iron case. Everyone, the special envoy, and even Her Majesty the Queen behind the special envoy say that Shao Xulin is Murderer. How many people do you want to offend with extra problems?"
"But I can't accept such a hasty conclusion of the case." Jian Hua said.
Tao Shun was silent for a while, then said: "The Shao family is indeed pitiful. Both generations of father and son will die in unsolved cases."
Jian Hua heard that his tone had softened, and asked hopefully, "Can you... help me?"
After a long time, I heard Tao Shun say in a low voice, "...I'm sorry."
——On the day his adoptive father died, his last words were to Jian Hua, "I'm sorry".
"Thank you." Jian Hua said, he knew that Tao Shun had done his best.
"In two days, your father's ashes will be buried. Maybe the special envoy will allow Shao Xulin to participate in the ceremony." Tao Shun said suddenly.
Jian Hua was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Would he be so... kind?"
Tao Shun smiled strangely.
——Under the coercion of the man with the scar, he had already arranged for someone to assassinate Shao Xulin.
The hints he gave Jian Hua could only go so far. Next, let's see if the young man can comprehend it.
After saying this, Tao Shun suddenly felt relieved, as if the heavy stone that had been pressing on his forehead had been removed.Feel a burst of relief.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back." Jian Hua stood up and said.
Tao Shun shook his head, looked at the lit street lamps on the street, and said, "I'll stay for a while."
Jian Hua looked at him, her expression suddenly changed, she knelt down in front of him, carefully observing his face.
"Don't move, I'll call the doctor." Jian Hua said, and immediately ran to the opposite side, shouting something to the patrolman.
Tao Shun also felt that something was wrong with him, and his head became more and more dizzy.His hands and feet were gradually becoming uncontrollable.
His hands trembled like dead leaves in winter. With the last bit of strength, he took out his military ID card from his pocket and saw the photo of his daughter behind it.
——I can still hear the voice of the little girl calling her father sweetly.
"How come the child is disobedient when he grows up." He said in a low voice, distressed.
The photo fell to the ground along with the military ID.
The smiling face of the little girl, together with the shredded paper and fallen leaves, swirled in the wind.
Soon, many people gathered around.
The doctor hurriedly helped the old man who was lying on the side of the road to give first aid, and carried him to the ambulance that Wuwawa had rushed to.
Jian Hua stood on the street at night, surrounded by panicked crowd, feeling like she was having a strange dream.
After an unknown amount of time, a person walked up to Jian Hua's side and patted him on the shoulder.
It is Yufei City.
There was no expression on his face, so his psychology could not be seen.
"Cerebral hemorrhage, it can't be saved," Yu Feicheng said, then added after a pause, "Recently, he's too tired and under a lot of psychological pressure..."
Jian Hua didn't seem to hear it.He is looking at the middle of the road.
A black car passed by there.The car window slid down, and a face with a scar between the brows poked out of the car window, looking grimly at the commotion on the street.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel Jian Hua's gaze, and cast his gaze from there.
Across the crowd, the two looked at each other coldly.
The stars in the night sky seem to be the pitying eyes of the adoptive father and Tao Shun, two old people.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·4
On the day my adoptive father was buried, the sky was covered with dark clouds from early morning.
The dark clouds are like a thick and colorful ink painting, and they seem to be pressing directly on the top of the satellite city.
Covering the sun, the entire city, along with it, showed a leaden gray color.
Under everyone's eyes, the adoptive father's coffin slowly circled the city and arrived at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
It seems that countless people gathered here to bid farewell to their old city lord.The closest one was a large group of neatly lined up soldiers, wearing dark blue military uniforms, sending off the coffin engraved with the emblem of the satellite city into the ground amidst the sound of mourning.
Jian Hua stood closest to the tombstone, looked at the sealed tomb, and silently recited every word commemorated on the tombstone in her heart.The surrounding was very quiet and solemn, but there was always a noise like running water, echoing in his ears.
Yu Feicheng stood beside him.Since the old city lord and Tao Shun both passed away, he became the deputy city lord of the satellite city, dealing with special envoys from the capital every day, and was extremely busy.
"It's going to rain." Yu Feicheng whispered to Jian Hua.
Jian Hua looked at the sky, indeed, lightning flashed from time to time in the dark clouds in the distance, indicating that a storm was approaching.The funeral also ended unconsciously, and the crowd was slowly loosening and dispersing.
At this moment, a prison car galloped from a distant path and stopped suddenly at the bottom of the long steps.
The car came strangely, and many people who left stopped.
The car door opened, and the first person to get out of the car was the special envoy of the capital with a scar on his face. He was wearing a dark uniform of the Royal Guards, with a solemn expression. He slowly glanced at everyone present, and his eyes stopped on the tombstone of his adoptive father.
He then turned around and pulled a man from the car.
It was Shao Xulin, who was wearing a white prison uniform. His eyes were tightly tied from the back of his head by a black cloth, and his hands and feet were connected with chains, preventing him from making any major movements.The black cloth covering his eyes was not too small, covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
There was a small commotion around first, and then a young man's angry voice sounded: "What is he doing here?"
Soon the commotion broke out, and the curses continued.
The Scar Envoy ignored the anger of the person next to him, and slightly tilted his head.Two men in military uniforms similar to his came down from the other side of the prison cart, pushing Shao Xulin and pulling him towards the tombstone.
Their actions were very rough. Shao Xulin was barefoot, pushed to the ground by them, and then dragged forward savagely.The swearing around was louder, and the soldiers couldn't restrain their anger when they saw the murderer who killed the old city lord.
Jian Hua knew that Shao Xulin couldn't hear her, but she still couldn't help but took a step forward, as if she wanted to stand up and say something.Yu Feicheng raised his hand to block it.
Jian Hua turned his face to the side, Yu Feicheng looked at him deeply, and shook his head.
Shao Xulin was quickly staggered and pulled closer.
"Son of a traitor!"
"Murderer!"
In the past few days, Shao Xulin's life experience and crimes have been spread all over the satellite city. It is difficult for everyone to accept that the old city lord died at the hands of his adopted son, and they hate Shao Xulin even more.Seeing him at this time, the crowd couldn't control their excitement.
"Bastard bastard!" I don't know who took the lead, several people rushed over first, squeezed away the guards escorting Shao Xulin, and slammed their fists on him.
Started alone, naturally more people followed, fists and kicks kept falling on Shao Xulin.
Shao Xulin's ears were injured during the previous torture, and he temporarily lost his hearing. At this time, his eyes were also covered. He didn't know his surroundings, but he was used to beating these days.It's like going back to the wandering time when I was a child.It's just the pride in his heart—the pride that has grown up under the protection of his adoptive father and Jian Hua for so many years, so even if he can't resist, he has to stand upright again and again, and refuses to bow his head in front of the enemy.
As a result, the rioting crowd was even more annoyed.
The man with the scar seemed to be very happy to see such a scene. He stood not far away with his arms folded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, watching everything here.Two of his men did not block the angry people, but withdrew from the crowd.
Jian Hua originally wanted to see what the scarred man's purpose was, but at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed Yu Feicheng to block her hand, as if she wanted to say something.
"You can't move!" Yu Feicheng took a step, stood in front of Jian Hua, and warned.Now that the satellite city has lost the old city lord and Tao Shun one after another, if Jian Hua makes any unusual moves, she may lose the support and trust of the palace.
"He didn't kill my father." Jian Hua looked at Yu Feicheng and said.
Yu Feicheng smiled coldly and said, "You have no evidence."
"I have." Jian Hua said slowly.
Taking advantage of Yu Feicheng's daze, Jian Hua pushed him away, walked to the edge of the crowd, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to make a noise in front of the old city lord's tomb!"
In a word, most people were stunned.
The people who calmed down looked at Jian Hua's serious face, and at the portrait of the old castellan on the tombstone, they all hesitated and took a few steps back.
As Jian Hua walked over, everyone around him dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Shao Xulin, who couldn't hear or see, barely stood up.
Jian Hua walked up to him and took one of his hands.Shao Xulin was shocked at first, as if he was about to break free, but he soon felt the familiar temperature, and the defensive breath on his body weakened a lot in an instant.
Jian Hua took his hand and pressed it on the engraved lettering in front of the tombstone of her adoptive father.
Shao Xulin seemed to realize something, groped over the tombstone with his hands, and read out the inscription of his adoptive father.
He slowly bent down and put his head on the tombstone of his adoptive father, as if expressing his deepest reverence and sorrow.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark clouds in the sky, and big raindrops fell down one after another.
Shao Xulin's fingers brushed over the edge of his adoptive father's tombstone and clenched it tightly.
His face was soon wet with rain.
——The adoptive father devoted infinite paternal love and protection to the two adopted sons. They didn't understand until Jian Hua and Shao Xulin had to face the blows from the world by themselves when he passed away.
Shao Xulin's clothes were very thin, and were quickly wet by the rain, with blood stains seeping slowly from the bottom of the clothes along with the rain.
The neighbors let out a few small exclamations. Their fists and kicks just now seemed unable to cause such damage.
Jian Hua understood in her heart, and only took another deep look at the Scar envoy from the crowd, took off her overcoat, and put it on Shao Xulin's body.
Special Envoy Scar originally brought Shao Xulin here, on the one hand, to implement the plan Tao Shun made before his death, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use Shao Xulin's appearance to arouse the anger of the officers and soldiers in the satellite city.She didn't expect that Jian Hua would stop the angry crowd, nor did she expect that Shao Xulin would do such a thing in front of the old general in the satellite city.
He frowned and gestured to his subordinates.
When Shao Xulin was under siege, the two guards who had been watching the show with their hands in their hands walked over immediately, grabbed Shao Xulin, and said, "We have to go."
One of them wanted to pull Jian Hua's coat from Shao Xulin's body and throw it back to him.Although Jian Hua's whole body was already wet by the rain, she still said, "Let him wear it, and give it to me when he gets in the car."
His voice and eyes were stern, and the guard had just seen the blood on Shao Xulin's body. He was afraid that he would have an attack, so he didn't dare to disobey him for a while, but continued to drag Shao Xulin savagely for a long distance, and returned to the prison car.
"Murderer!" A stone flew over from nowhere and hit Shao Xulin's forehead.
As if colluding, more voices immediately began to curse, and someone picked up anything they could pick up from the side of the road and threw it at Shao Xulin.
——There is a situation!Jian Hua soon realized that the "murderer" that sounded just now was very similar to the "What is he doing here?" that aroused everyone's emotions earlier, and it was very likely that it was the same person.
The two guards disappeared again, leaving Shao Xulin alone to face the angry crowd.
Jian Hua didn't have time to think about it, she stepped forward a few steps, blocked in front of Shao Xulin, looked around, looking for the person who spoke.
"Is Commander Jane going to shelter the murderer?" The voice said with a sneer.
Jian Hua finally found the man who spoke in the crowd, a young military officer with an unfamiliar appearance.
The man's words immediately ignited the anger of the crowd, and the people who had gradually calmed down rushed forward excitedly.From time to time, his fists came to Jian Hua's front.
Shao Xulin seemed to feel something, and suddenly grabbed Jian Hua, and pushed him behind him: "What are you coming at me, don't touch my brother!"
In the past few days, his throat seemed to have been seriously injured, and his voice was like a torn silk.
——Shao Xulin at that time, even if he couldn't see or hear, he still hoped that he could stand in front of Jian Hua and shield him from the wind and rain.
☆、The road ahead is boundless·5
Hearing Shao Xulin's words, the crowd was quiet for a moment, and immediately became more excited under the instigation of caring people.
"White-eyed wolf also knows Brother and Brother Gong?" someone said.
"The general acted like him before he died!" said another voice.
The crowd got closer and closer, Shao Xulin tried his best to keep Jian Hua behind him, but Jian Hua held his hand hard, trying to push him into the car.
Surprisingly, when Jian Hua was about to send Shao Xulin into the car, the car door slammed shut.
--on purpose!
Jian Hua was stunned for a moment, the crowd that rushed over separated him from Shao Xulin, and several people stood in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, preventing him from approaching Shao Xulin.There was a mess in front of my eyes, figures were shaking, and the sound of cursing and footsteps was deafening.
"Don't move!" Jian Hua shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned in the sea of noise, unable to stir up any splashes.
There were punches and kicks, shouts and curses, and Jian Hua could faintly hear someone screaming in pain.He lowered his head and seemed to see blood stains on the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" It was three gunshots that quelled the commotion.
Alarmed by the gunshots, everyone stopped their aggressive actions and turned their heads in astonishment.It was Jian Hua, with a face as frosty, holding a gun to the sky.
A position like the eye of a storm slowly appeared in the crowd. In the center of the silent storm, a man fell face down on the ground, with blood gushing out from under his body. The blood was mixed into the soil on the ground together.
Jian Hua pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the man. The man's back looked very much like Shao Xulin's hair, but when he turned over, he was not. He was a young soldier with a childish face, and the wound on his back was caused by the blade.A few steps away on the ground, a dagger fell into the dirt.
Jian Hua hurriedly looked around and saw Shao Xulin leaning against the prison cart. Although his hair and clothes were covered with mud, there seemed to be no more wounds.
Only then did she feel relieved, and Jian Hua said to a little soldier nearby, "Go to the doctor!"
The little soldier immediately turned around and ran out as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Others also seemed to be shocked by the sudden turn of events. They woke up from the heat of their heads, and some regretted it. Looking at the seriously injured comrades on the ground, they quietly retreated out of the crowd.
"Don't move!" Jian Hua said sharply, "Is this the discipline of the satellite city?"
"You! And you!" He pointed out the two people who were the first to incite the crowd and create a commotion, "And you, and you!" Of these two people, one had blood on his sleeve, and the other had blood splattered under his hem .
"These four are suspected." Jian Hua said as she looked at Yu Feicheng who was walking down the steps.Although he recognized the person who took the lead in making trouble and the murderer who hurt others, he was still an officer of the Youth Fortress after all, so he couldn't intervene in the incident in the satellite city.
Yu Feicheng's face was also as dark as a dark cloud. Originally, he didn't want to control the anger of the young officers, but after seeing the bloodshed and the similarity between the injured person's figure and Shao Xulin's, he suddenly realized that someone was among them. The purpose of intervening is to kill Shao Xulin.
"Lock them all up for me! I'll interrogate this afternoon!" Yu Feicheng said, he is now the acting commander of the satellite city, and all matters are decided by him.
Looking at the other people present, Yu Feicheng said, "The others will be locked up for a month."
The order was issued, and people who looked like inspectors rushed over and took away all the young soldiers who participated in the disturbance. The four people pointed out by Jian Hua were controlled by the people around Yu Feicheng.
Nurses arrived to give first aid to the man who was injured and convulsed on the ground, but soon they shook their heads helplessly, the knife was stabbed hard and deep, straight into the heart.
Jian Hua walked to Shao Xulin's side, and wiped off the muddy water on his face with her palm.
The special envoy with the scar on his face was standing at a distance watching the play with his subordinates. Seeing that the situation gradually calmed down, while Shao Xulin was intact, he killed an innocent young man instead, and his face darkened.His lips moved, as if he was cursing something silently.
