Painting Tang

Commander Cai led a team of guards to escort Mu Jingchen into the green leather car and drove away. The car was full of dust, and the rest of the people coughed dryly.

"Too bad, in fact, when we left the city, someone from the military department stopped us once. At that time, Mu Jingchen stepped on the gas pedal...Will it be said that we disobeyed the military order? What should we do now?"

Zou Weiyi looked at Zou Yueyin and Yutang worriedly. Zou Yueyin had never received any information from the inspection committee to investigate Mu Jingchen, and was at a loss for a while. Thinking of Commander Cai's villainous face just now, he felt even more angry. It's no secret that Cai He and Xu Yang are colluding. It seems that both of them have received a lot of bribes from Lin Yue.

"It's important to go back to Mu's house first. Right now, the only person who can inquire about the news in the military headquarters is Uncle Mu."

Yu Tang bit her lip, Mu Jingchen was taken away, if he messed up again, he would really follow Lin Yue's way.

"Don't worry too much, Mu Jingchen is upright and not afraid of the shadow, and Uncle Mu has the rank of a general. Looking at the whole Yulin, no one is above him. Even if they are taken away by the inspection committee, they don't dare to treat Mu Jing harshly. Chen's."

Zou Weiyi patted Yu Tang on the shoulder to comfort him, but Zou Yueyin frowned and said with a sneer,

"If something has been done, we still know where to start to eliminate the evidence. What we are afraid of is that they will slander out of thin air and make false evidence together. If you want me to say, we have to go back and interrogate Lin Yue severely. Come out, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

Although Jinyu didn't understand the twists and turns, she could tell that Mu Jingchen was harmed by Lin Yue. Her throat was dry with apology and guilt for a while, and she wanted to say something to comfort Yutang, but she couldn't. I also feel that everything I say will only annoy people.

Zou Yueyin saw that she was preoccupied with downcast eyes, sighed silently, and took her cold hand,

"An ignorant person is not guilty. Sister Jinyu will have nothing to do with Lin Yue in the future. If others ask you, you will say that you belong to me."

"……it is good."

Jin Yu nodded heavily, followed closely behind Zou Yueyin and followed them into Mu's house.

The general Mu's mansion was as magnificent as the rumors. Before Jinyu had time to appreciate it, he saw a young woman in a plain dress running towards them like a swirling breeze. When she got closer, she realized that half of the woman's face was covered. It was covered with horrible burn marks.

"elder brother--!!"

Yu Xueer threw herself into Yu Tang's arms, and was caught by Yu Tang. She looked up at Yu Tang carefully, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, turning into a salty taste along the corners of her lips,

"You are my brother! You are my brother! I thought you were all dead... I thought I was the only one left in the family!"

Yu Xueer kept wiping her tears away with her sleeves. For the past ten years, she has been lonely and helpless. Although her childhood memories have faded like bubbles, she always remembers her mother who cut paper for her among the peony flowers. And my brothers, at that time the flower shadows were swaying, and the laughing words were Yan Yan, but they were all destroyed overnight by Lin Yue's desire to eat people.

"Big girl, why haven't you finished crying yet?"

Yu Tang smiled softly, and helped Yu Xue'er wipe off the teardrops hanging on her chin. He originally thought it would be a while before seeing her,

"When did you come back?"

"Uncle Mu personally picked me up at the station. It was Uncle Mu who saved me back then. It's only because I was young that I couldn't control my fear when I saw Uncle... Fortunately, Uncle didn't blame me."

Yu Xue'er affectionately pulled Yu Tang to the living room, Zou Yueyin saw that the brothers and sisters would have a lot to say when they reunited after a long absence, so she called Zou Weiyi and Jinyu to find Zhen Hui who came back first to discuss Mu Jingchen's affairs.

"Have you seen you...brother?"

From what Yu Tang heard from Yu Xueer, Yu Tang should have learned about the circumstances of the two brothers over the years from Zhou Wei. Yu Xueer was only three or four years old when their family had an accident. Yu Tang actually didn’t have a deep impression of her. Although she has been adopted these years, her life has not been smooth, so I can't help worrying that she will have an extreme personality like Yu Mian.

"I've seen it before,"

Yu Xueer nodded, and lowered her voice, "I told my little brother everything about that year. Uncle Mu said he had a lot of prejudices, so it's true... After listening to my little brother, I didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything. Response, I just got into the quilt and even covered my head."

"There will always be a day when he will be forced to accept the truth. It's better for you to tell him than to let Lin Yue tell him."

Yu Tang sighed, Yu Mian's biggest knot might still be on him.

"He definitely wants you to go, brother. Although I can't remember many things, I always remember that my brother loved to stare at you when I was young. The person I like the most in my heart must be my brother."

"He won't like me, and he shouldn't."

Yu Tang skipped it lightly, Yu Xueer didn't understand but didn't take it to heart, and when she arrived in the living room, she saw two cups of half-drunk tea on the table, but Mu Huaiyi and Zhou Wei were not there.

"Uncles and aunts are busy with the funeral tonight... That lady, Zhou Yuhui, is dead."

Yu Xueer leaned against Yu Tang's ear and explained to him in a low voice.

"died?"

Yu Tang frowned slightly, and then heard Yu Xueer say,

"I heard from the steward at home. Didn't Lin Yue's house catch a fire earlier? Zhou Yuhui's body was found in the basement of his house, choking to death... Zhou's family members are not good, aunt and the others Only by cooking well can you not lose your tongue, and now I am inviting someone to do it in her courtyard."

"The Zhou family also proposed to adopt you from Uncle Mu before?"

Yu Tang heard Yu Xueer's gnashing of teeth and complaints that Yu Xueer tried to hide when she mentioned Zhou Yuhui and the Zhou family, and became even more suspicious. Sure enough, Yu Xueer hesitated for a moment, pulled Yu Tang's sleeve and said aggrievedly,

"My adoptive parents are relatives of Zhou Yuhui's aunt's family. When I was young, I often stayed with Zhou Yuhui. Others refused to approach me because of the scars on my face. Only Zhou Yuhui would talk to me... I thought I had made a close friend, but later You know, she only used me as a tool to get close to the young master of the Mu family, and took all the things that Uncle Mu and the others sent me... I complained to my adoptive mother, and they beat me. I don't have a good skin, so I rushed to grab it when I heard that there was an opportunity to go abroad, I just wanted to escape quickly..."

Yu Xueer's eyes were swollen and her nose was blocked, and she couldn't stop shedding tears.

"I heard that you caught Lin Yue...you must not let him go, it's all him, it's all him! He killed our parents, and made us live a life worse than pigs and dogs...Brother thinks my heart It's okay to be ruthless, but I really can't cry in front of Zhou Yuhui's coffin, I shed tears because of the grievances I suffered..."

Hearing this, Yu Tang felt mixed feelings in his heart. He and Yu Mian had survived the hardest days of being homeless. She never thought that even if Yu Xueer was adopted, she would live like this.

"No one will blame you for being cruel,"

Yu Tang patted Yu Xue'er on the shoulder, "In the future, you don't have to be dependent on others and wander abroad, and life will get better."

"Um……"

Yu Xueer leaned against Yu Tang, perhaps tired from crying, her breathing became even after a while, and she fell asleep peacefully with her red and swollen eyes closed.

"Oh, why did you fall asleep here!"

When Zhou Wei entered the living room, she happened to see Yu Xueer shed tears while sleeping, so she quickly asked someone to bring a quilt and carried her into the room.

Although Zhou Yuhui deserved what she deserved, she had been raised under Zhou Yu's knees for many years. Seeing her tragic death now, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, seeing Yu Tang come back safely, she felt a little more relieved and caring. After Yu Tang said a few words, Mu Huaiyi rushed her back to her room to rest.

Yu Tang saw that Mu Huaiyi wanted to talk to Zhou Wei without telling him.

"Thank you, Uncle Mu, for bringing Xue'er back."

Yu Tang paused, and was about to talk about Mu Jingchen, but Mu Huaiyi stepped forward,

"I've heard about Mu Jingchen. Some people reported that he was collaborating with the bandits and rebels. He sold the general equipment to horse bandits for huge profits."

"what??"

Yu Tang took a tight breath. It is true that the Yulin Military Department is in charge of the Northeast Military Depot, but the evidence of such capital crimes is not easy to fabricate, not to mention that he has never heard that Mu Jingchen is in charge of the military depot.

"Cai He made a good move. Three months ago, the ministries approved Jing Chen's promotion letter, and the power of the general treasury was handed over to him, but Cai He has been quietly keeping this document in his hands. Everyone thought Mu Jing Chen has already assumed power, except for himself and me!"

Mu Huaiyi gritted his back teeth. In the past few years, he had almost stopped intervening in the affairs of the military department, but unexpectedly let that villain Cai He take advantage of the loophole!

"Did the inspection committee open the warehouse for inspection...?"

"They don't have this right. If they want to open the warehouse, they have to apply from Chen Shu. It takes three days to go back and forth. The boy Mu Jingchen who is in prison for these three days is sure to eat, and the chance to save him is only these three days. "

Mu Huaiyi closed his eyes, breathed heavily and said slowly,

"I have received information that there is now an empty warehouse No. [-]. If the inspection committee did not plug the hole before opening the warehouse, Mu Jingchen...he will be sentenced to death."

"……how many?"

Yu Tang bit her lower lip until it turned white. Cai He deliberately wanted Mu Jingchen to die. Even if they could get Lin Yue to plead guilty, Mu Jingchen would have to be charged with dereliction of duty. But the arsenal that concerns the country...!

"It's useless for you to worry about this. I'll leave immediately and go to other military camps to borrow the unstored ordnance. Now that I'm gone, you are the only man in the family. Maybe Cai He will find fault. You have to fight for me. Jingchen will protect the Mu family."

Mu Huaiyi's hair turned gray overnight, he spread out a secret military map and showed it to Yu Tang,

"As long as I am still here, I will definitely not let them touch my son. If I don't borrow enough guys within three days, the Mu family army will turn around and become a wild bandit and rescue Jing Chen. In any case, the night after tomorrow You quietly take your aunt and the others to the pass first, and the places marked with red flags are all places where the Mu family army is stationed, and they can take refuge."

Yu Tang nodded, and carefully wrote down the dense marks on the drawing. When he saw a special symbol, he was startled suddenly. After taking a few breaths without a word, he pointed to the symbol and asked in a trembling voice,

"Uncle Mu, what does this mark mean?"

"This is the armory."

Mu Huaiyi said lightly, looking at the symbol of protecting the country and protecting the country now, it is only ironic that protecting the country is actually used by villains as a tool to form cliques and eliminate dissidents...

"I... seem to have a way to save Mu Jingchen!"

Yu Tang opened his eyes wide and looked at Mu Huaiyi, as if the condensed blood in his body flowed again at that moment, and the pale blood finally returned to his pale face.

"What did you say?"

"I've seen this symbol... elsewhere, in my father's treasury...!"
