Wancheng Chronicle

Before entering the door, Ming Yi saw nine cars lined up in the courtyard, presumably there was another distinguished visitor.At such a time, he shouldn't bother his brother, but he really didn't want Chen Tianrong to pay an unnecessary price.

"Second Young Master." Ah Zhong stood at the door of the study, his respectful greeting was also a tactful stop.

Ming Yi obviously understood Ah Zhong's meaning, and silently turned and left.

"You've been standing for so long, come in." Akihito sent the visitor away, smiling at his younger brother behind the pillar. "You're not afraid of being tired."

Ming Yi touched his nose, and asked with a little embarrassment, "How do you know?"

Mingren was a little amused, and replied: "How do I know? You don't even think about what your sister-in-law does."

That's right, Mingyi nodded.There is no movement in this house that can escape the eyes of sister-in-law. After staying with her for a long time, the elder brother has naturally developed such skills.

"Do you want me to find someone to rescue Chen Tianrong?" Mingren asked, looking at his younger brother who hesitated for a long time and dared not speak.

"En." Mingyi nodded.He understands the laws written on the face of this country, but does not understand the rules branded in the bones of this country. If he wants to help Chen Tianrong out of the predicament, he can only turn to his brother for help.After hesitating for a while, he added his own explanation: "He is not a bad person."

"How do you know he's not a bad guy?" Ming Ren knew that his younger brother thought that Chen Tianrong had saved his life, but he didn't expect that the kid would make it up for a long time to give such a reason.

"He saved me."

"Sometimes the person who saves you has more sinister intentions than the person who wants to kill you?" Ming Ren stretched out his hand to straighten the broken hair on his brother's forehead, and said in a playful tone.

"He should not bear the crime that originally belonged to me."

Mingren shook his head and retorted softly: "If he can reap greater benefits, he won't care about temporary gains and losses."

Mingyi was stunned, he didn't expect his brother to reject him. "If he is a bad guy, why do you keep him in the Ming mansion?"

"I didn't say he was a bad guy."

"Then you are willing to die?"

"I didn't say he was a good man either."

Ming Yi stared at his brother, but he just bit his lip, unable to say a word.

"It's my principle not to ask about party and government disputes. If you want to save him, you have to do your best." After Mingren finished speaking, he locked his brother out of the study together with these words.

"Is Ah Yi angry?" Wan Yu asked while leaning against Ming Ren's desk, stirring the coffee.

Mingren smiled helplessly, and replied: "Yes. Since I was a child, I have never refused his request."

Wan Yu handed over the coffee and said with a smile, "Then how can you bear it now?"

"The road outside, he has to go by himself." Akihito lit a cigar, looked at the lingering smoke, his mind was full of Ah Yi's innocence

past.Perhaps for so many years, Mingyi has been unable to get rid of the shadow, because the Ming family shielded him from the wind and rain, and at the same time blocked the sunlight of the outside world.

Wan Yu cleaned up the documents on the table, and said: "Chen Tianrong is not an old fox if he can stay with Chen Shichang, he is also a little fox. I am afraid that Ah Yi will be bitten by his kindness to save him."

"I'm trying to teach Ah Yi to be a good hunter."

……

There is an old saying: the yamen is open, and no one can come in without money.This is probably the only understanding that all poor people have about the yamen, a power organ that symbolizes judicial justice.Originally, Chen Tianrong also thought so when he was a child. He didn't know who can make decisions for himself in this world, and who symbolizes the so-called justice.It wasn't until he grew up that he saw many people chanting poems about sacrificing their lives to go to the country's calamity, one after another, that he knew that the world was not as unbearable as he imagined.Even if they are lingering on their last days, there will still be people who support the country with their own flesh and blood.

The cold and damp walls were dripping with drops of water, and the faint candlelight flickered on and off, as if they would suffocate in the clutches of darkness if they couldn't hold their breath.Iron chains are wrapped around the rotten wooden posts, and the mottled dark red is unknown whether it is the condensation of innocent souls or the rust that has grown over time.

Chen Tianrong approached the cell step by step, and the pungent stench mixed with blood rushed to his face, which belonged to the coldness of winter and bitingly.Maybe it was because of Chen Shichang's reputation, although the arrest process was huge, no one made things difficult for him maliciously.He sat down against the wall, and the wound on his back was aching. In order to save Mingyi that day, his back was severely burned.

Although Chen Tianrong didn't know why he wanted to save Mingyi at the time, but now it seems that letting the Ming family owe him a favor is a good choice.

"Boss Chen." A young man in a black uniform opened the iron door, leaned over and said to Chen Tianrong, "We have already investigated this matter clearly. It was the 'Blood Eagle' gangster who poisoned Mr. Xu, and then put the blame on you. Director Wang ordered me to apologize to you for the troubles I caused you these few days."

"Bandits?" Chen Tianrong recalled the various assassinations that caused panic last year.That seems to be a group, terrorists?

"Yes. Someone found Mr. Xu collaborating with the enemy and killed him to vent his anger."

"Isn't such a person a national hero?"

"Everyone can punish traitors, but the law cannot be trampled on. Killing people for life is justified."

"The investigation is clear?" Chen Tianrong patted the mud on his coat, got up and asked.

"Yes." The person who came was about the same age as Chen Tianrong, but his attitude was extremely respectful: "The criminal has been brought to justice, and the police station also clarified the whole story in the newspaper."

Chen Tianrong snorted disdainfully, and said, "Why did you go early? Tell you Director Wang, he owes me 56 hours, and this debt will be repaid in the future!"

"Yes, I will definitely bring you what you want. There are still people waiting for you at the door, so I won't waste your precious time. Please—"

I haven't seen you for a few days, but the sky in Wancheng seems to be bluer and brighter.Chen Tianrong stared at the familiar license plate in a daze for a while, and the figure looming through the car window allowed him to guess the identity of the person who came.He didn't want to go forward, but he had to.

"Get angry with him, it seems that Boss Chen is getting more and more angry now."

As soon as Chen Tianrong got into the car, he heard such irony, but he could only bow his head and admit his mistake. "Your arrogance, I have caused you trouble."

"Trouble? Do you still know about trouble?" The person who came was Chen Shichang, the elder of the Gelaohui. He glanced at his nephew and said ironically. "Your father is also a scholar, so didn't he tell you to be moral?" He came here not only to solve Chen Tianrong's troubles, but also to solve Wang Shucai's troubles.

"I don't have the three apprentices, and I haven't heard the court language." Chen Tianrong's answer was mixed with bitterness. The haggard man in his memory never showed the elegance of a scholar.

"Forget it, don't mention it." Chen Shichang's tone softened, and it was he who suddenly remembered that the youngest he valued the most, the father of the child in front of him, had been dead for several years. "But you've done it before."

"Yes." Chen Tianrong nodded.

Chen Shichang was quite satisfied with Chen Tianrong's reaction, and said with emotion: "However, your subordinates are so quick to attack, which is beyond my expectation."

"Arong just wants to live."

"Did you know that Wang Shucai would attack you?"

"Well." Chen Tianrong lit a cigarette for Chen Shichang, and explained: "When I knew the autopsy results, I guessed that Wang Shucai would choose to attack me. For the sake of brotherhood, he would rather offend the Qing Gang than investigate Mingyi and Gu Qijin. Ah Rong didn't want to be accused of being a bandit and die at his hands for no apparent reason, so he ordered his men to tie up his wife and daughter as hostages if they heard of Wang Shucai's attack."

"This matter is over. But you remember clearly - one more friend is one more life. If you act too hard, you will either become the king of Hades, or turn into a ghost." Chen Shichang seems to have seen himself in Chen Tianrong, and he wants to encourage , but couldn't help dissuading.Probably when people get old, they will become contradictory.Sometimes I think about it, if it was Wei Manjun, he would try his best to dissuade him.Those who have been here always teach the juniors—to be a human being, one has to be moral.

"Arong remembered."

Immediately, someone came to the window of the car and sent Chen Shichang a thank you gift from Wang Shucai.Chen Shichang glanced at the exquisite Tangfang lacquered wooden box, smiled and said to Chen Tianrong: "It seems that he thought I saved his wife from you."

"I originally planned to kill those two women." Chen Tianrong smiled in agreement, viciousness and shamelessness are not the same concept.

The car drove away, and the pedestrians on the road hurriedly avoided these black iron shells, but there was some envy or jealousy in their eyes.People are like this.Just like Chen Tianrong at this time, he was heading towards An Qi's residence, but he was thinking about Chen Shichang's last words: "Although it didn't help, the young master of the Ming family still took some effort to save you." of."
