Looking at the bright moon

Two days after the conflict on Yancheng Street, Commander Zhong finally couldn't hold back his anger and quarreled with Ruan Lingyi.Before coming to Yannan, he was full of ambitions and was ready to show his strength.Unexpectedly, when he took office, he ran into walls with the Wen family several times. Now even Ruan Lingyi became dissatisfied with his repeated defeats.Commander Zhong was ridiculed a few times by the other party, and until the next day, he was still brooding over Ruan Lingyi's words of "doing nothing".He made up his mind to make some achievements that would impress the other party, so he assembled his team and secretly went to Longyuan.

Unlike Wenjia Wharf, people come and go on the wharf day and night, so it is very easy to transfer goods.As for Wen Mingyu's perennial residence, Long Garden could not be cleaned up overnight.The Wen family has been in Yannan for many years, and there must have been many legal and illegal businesses. As long as any relevant evidence can be found, Commander Zhong is confident that it will make a big splash and completely prevent the possibility of the Wen family turning over.

Before leaving, he specifically ordered the chief of the police station to ask the other party to hold He Lingshan who was in the Qiuyue mansion no matter what, on the grounds of investigating the explosion at the pier.The man probably completed the task he gave him very well. When Commander Zhong stood in front of the gate of Longyuan, only a few guards at the gate came to stop him.These few people are more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but they are helpless in the face of soldiers several times their size.Commander Zhong broke in smoothly through the gate, but as soon as he entered, he was startled by the scenery that spread out in front of him and stopped in his tracks.

I really didn't expect that Yancheng still has such a luxurious and beautiful garden, with winding corridors, lush weeping willows, and the cornices and painted beams of the pavilions scattered among the mountains and rivers.It can really be called "Three paths of pavilions, one pool of water, fallen leaves and berry moss. A small boat pierces through the bank and flowers emerge, and strange trees come to welcome guests at the door." When Commander Zhong took another step, his momentum lost three times for no reason. Fen, almost cramped, led the equally confused and cramped soldiers into this maze-like garden.

The servants in the garden were frightened by this group of uncommon guests with guns on their backs, and ran away in all directions. Every time Commander Zhong passed by, he ordered his soldiers to break in and rummage wantonly. No.Accompanied by the destruction, the bad breath pent up in Commander Zhong's chest gradually dissipated, his expression became relaxed and happy, and he joked with the adjutant beside him: "It is said that the Wen family is rampant in Yannan, covering the sky with one hand, I think That's all. The predecessors passed them on so powerfully, maybe they took advantage of them to build momentum for the Wen family."

The adjutant was about to answer with a smile when he suddenly saw a kind-faced, well-mannered old man rushing over, without looking at the group of soldiers in front of him, he cupped his hands and said: "My young master heard that there were guests, and ordered me to lead the way for them. Please come and talk."

Commander Zhong's smile froze, and he said in confusion, "Young Master? Is Master He actually at home?"

The old man said: "The guest probably made a mistake. My young master's surname is Wen, not He."

Surname Wen?Commander Zhong's heart shook, and he wanted to ask more questions, but the old man waved to him and walked ahead.

Commander Zhong followed the other party through several corridors, and finally stopped in front of a hall.There is a plaque on the hall, inscribed with the word "Lanzhu".Standing under the plaque was a tall, thin man with a snow-white gown, standing there like a crane drying its feathers in the sun.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, revealing a face that seemed to come out of a painting, which was very suitable for this old-fashioned and elegant garden scene.

Seeing this large group of strangers, this person just smiled and didn't speak, calm and even a little arrogant.Commander Zhong stared blankly at him for a moment, no matter who faced such a face, he would probably be blank for a few seconds.Immediately, Commander Zhong realized that the person in front of him must be the real owner of the Wen family.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have no place to be ashamed of breaking into a private mansion and encountering the head of the household on the spot.But after all, Commander Zhong has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, and he has already acquired a pair of extraordinary courage and courage. On the contrary, with a bright smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wen is under your feet? Oh, I'm afraid you don't Knowing my identity, my surname is Zhong, and I am the current guardian envoy of Yancheng. I heard that you were unwell some time ago, and I am busy with business, so I have not been able to find a chance to visit. I am really sorry."

"Commander Zhong," Wen Mingyu said playfully, "I never expected that the first time I saw Commander Zhong was at my own home."

Commander Zhong said solemnly: "It's like this, Mr. Wen. Not long ago, we seized a large amount of smoke and soil on your pier. And Mr. Pan Junchen, the inspector of the police station, also came to your pier to investigate, and the car exploded , died unfortunately. Nowadays, selling cigarettes is a serious crime. Shangfeng attaches great importance to this case and ordered me to find out the result as soon as possible. gone."

He felt that what he said was reasonable and there was nothing to refute, so he put his hands behind his back after speaking, and waited calmly for the other party to answer.Wen Mingyu nodded and said, "It does sound like a very serious matter." Commander Zhong said, "Of course it's best if you can forgive me. In fact, as the head of the Wen family, you are the number one suspect. , On the day of the incident, you should go to the police station for interrogation. You are a sick person, and I have delayed it for so long. Now that you are recovering so well, shouldn't you also go with me to cooperate? Police, explain everything clearly?"

Wen Mingyu took a few steps, and suddenly turned his gaze to him: "If I remember correctly, Commander Zhong was also the guardian envoy of Xuancheng before he came to Yannan to take up his post?"

Commander Zhong stood up straight vigilantly, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Mr. Wen is investigating me?"

"This is a trivial matter, still need to investigate?" Wen Mingyu said nonchalantly: "I don't know what's going on in Xuancheng. But the Wen family took care of the cigarette dealers who found Yannan from there and asked me to take care of their business. It’s been a lot. Commander Zhong’s anti-smoking cause doesn’t seem to be as beautiful as he said.”

As if some unbearable secret had been revealed, Commander Zhong blushed suddenly: "You businessmen... people who have never been officials, how do you know our difficulties. Smoking and smoking bans are easy to say. It’s so easy to ban, it won’t be everywhere now!”

Wen Mingyu didn't answer his words, but still smiled, as if she expected him to lose his composure like this.Commander Zhong thought bitterly——a suspect, a notorious gang leader, why should he be judged, and why should he endure the other party's trial.But when he came up with a lot of ugly words, they seemed to grow claws when they came to his mouth, grabbing his lips tightly, making him unable to open his mouth to spit them out.The person in front of him was completely different from He Lingshan. Although that young man had a cold face and was full of perfunctory words, at least he was willing to seriously perfunctory himself.Wen Mingyu was gentle and unassuming from the beginning to the end, but when Commander Zhong was negotiating with the other party, he felt extremely nervous.He knew very well that the premise of Wen Mingyu's inclusiveness and gentleness was precisely the arrogance of the other party who did not take himself seriously.A ferocious beast also has the same kindness and tolerance for the little bird that lands on its back.

Commander Zhong gritted his teeth secretly, preparing to take a tougher attitude, so as to give this criminal a blow.However, before he opened his mouth, Wen Mingyu spoke first: "I have been the head of the family for nearly 20 years. In the past ten years, no one in Yannan dared to open a tobacco shop or sell half a catty of soil. Commander Zhong managed such a small house. Why, even though there are endless streams of cigarette dealers, now they are complaining in front of me that banning smoking is difficult, don’t you think it’s absurd.”

"You..." Because the other party was telling the truth, Commander Zhong didn't know how to refute for a long time, and finally threw down a sentence viciously: "Don't forget, Mr. Wen, you still have a police officer suspected of trafficking in soil and murder. Investigate two charges, and I can ask the police to arrest you at any time!"

Seeing Wen Mingyu walking towards him, Commander Zhong straightened his back, trying to appear more imposing.Unexpectedly, the other party was nearly half a head taller than him, and his posture of raising his head and chest was more like a training than a demonstration.Wen Mingyu looked down at him and lowered her voice: "Arrest me? Can you do it?"

This time he didn't even use a smile to hide the contempt in his words. Commander Zhong's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he was about to explode when Wen Mingyu pressed his shoulder, and said: "According to what you said, someone died on my pier. I should bear the biggest suspicion, isn't that the truth?"

Commander Zhong struggled a bit, but couldn't break free, and was so angry that his ears were red and swollen.He was about to answer yes confidently, but Wen Mingyu let go of his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "If only this point is used to convict, I can turn everyone around you into suspects tomorrow. Commander Zhong, in reply Before asking my question, please think clearly."

His words are polite, but his content is creepy.Commander Zhong stared at the other person's face, with such a smiling face, anyone who looked at it would feel gentle and amiable.But in just a few seconds, cold sweat was slowly dripping down Commander Zhong's forehead, and he could tell that Wen Mingyu was not joking.This is exactly the scariest place.

"I'll ask again, Commander Zhong, can you do it?" Wen Mingyu asked softly.

No matter what, Commander Zhong had no way to say the three words "impossible". Once he said these three words, he would immediately become a clown in front of the other party.Commander Zhong clenched his fists, and even his voice trembled slightly due to excessive anger: "Wen Mingyu, you are unreasonable!"

The smile still hasn't faded from Wen Mingyu's face, but the other party's eyes staring at him have cooled down, turning into the eyes of a real perpetrator.Wen Mingyu mocked: "You barged into my house and tried to put two ridiculous charges on me, but now you ask me to reason with you? Commander Zhong, have you forgotten who I am? If you want me to be reasonable, you are a little too naive."

Commander Zhong involuntarily took a few steps back, and when he realized what he had done, a strong sense of shame surged from his lungs, causing him to turn around and shout to the soldiers standing behind him: "What are you doing in a daze? Search this place for me! A cigarette dealer and a murderer live here! If no evidence of his crime is found today, then no one should go back!"

How could the soldiers dare to disobey, they immediately agreed and rushed in.The old man who had been standing quietly behind Wen Mingyu hurried forward a few steps, blocked the road, and said angrily: "Who dares! Is Longyuan also a place where you can run wild?" Commander Zhong drew his gun and sneered: "Why not Dare, I am the guardian envoy of Yancheng now, so of course I have the final say. If you block the way again, don't blame me for obstructing official duties!"

"Let them search." Wen Mingyu said lightly: "As Commander Zhong said, if no evidence of my crime is found today, no one should go back."

The same sentence, uttered from his mouth, has the opposite effect.I don't know whether he was driven by anger or fear, Commander Zhong yelled: "You dare to threaten me!" After speaking, he was about to turn his gun on Wen Mingyu.Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have expected it long ago, just as he made a move, Wen Mingyu grabbed his wrist like lightning, folded it in the opposite direction, and bent it down fiercely.

Commander Zhong let out a scream, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, his entire arm was pressed against his back, and his face turned pale with pain after a little struggle.Wen Mingyu held him in front of him, grabbed Commander Zhong's throat with his other hand, and said with a smile, "Commander Zhong, I give you a piece of advice. Next time you point a gun at me, remember to stay away from me."

He suddenly tightened his five fingers until the face of the person in his hand turned purple and his eyes protruded. Then he relaxed a little and said, "Please ask your soldiers to move faster and give me some time to clean up. I don't want to When I got my family back, it was a mess."

There was a dead silence everywhere, the soldiers looked at each other, holding the guns in their hands, no one moved.Commander Zhong struggled continuously, pulling the iron-like wrist on his neck, and managed to utter a hoarse voice: "Withdraw...withdraw."

"What did you say?" Wen Mingyu made a gesture of listening, but the strength in his hand did not relax at all: "Please speak up, I can't hear very clearly."

The veins on Commander Zhong's neck bulged out one after another, and he finally shouted: "Everyone retreat, stop searching, let me go!"

It didn't take long before Commander Zhong led his men out of Longyuan, got into the car, and slammed the door.The car made a loud noise, and drove towards the way it came from without looking back.After confirming that they all left, the butler finally felt relieved and went back to report to Wen Mingyu.

Wen Mingyu was holding a cup of tea in his hand. The weather of this day can be considered very hot, but what he drank was boiling water.After taking several sips, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his cheeks and lips turned a faint color of blood.While refilling the tea for him, the butler asked worriedly, "Are you feeling better? Do you want me to ask the doctor to come and see?"

"Why is this so?" Wen Mingyu responded with a smile, seeing that the housekeeper was still looking down at herself with frowning eyes, she couldn't take it anymore and said, "I just talked too much in one breath, I'm a little tired, I'm going to bed Just lie down and lie down."

Chapter 110

Perhaps it was because of being tired, Wen Mingyu slept until night, and when she woke up, the room was completely dark.Someone opened the window of his bedroom, and the warm and dry summer wind pierced through the tent, bringing a little lotus fragrance, which splashed on his face from time to time.

Wen Mingyu was not yet fully awake, closed her eyes again, and thought wildly: I once promised that child that when the lotus flowers in Long Garden bloomed, I would take him to go boating on the lake, I don't know if the other party still remembers.

There was a sudden rustling beside the bed, as if the cloth was rubbing against the mat.A warm and slender finger landed on his brow, stroking along its arc, and then slowly stroking it back.Wen Mingyu couldn't help smiling slightly, grabbed the other's wrist, and asked, "Is it very late?"

"Not too late." He Lingshan's voice replied, "It's just past 07:30."

After opening her eyes, Wen Mingyu found that the other party was leaning against the tent at the head of the bed, no wonder she didn't notice that he was there just now.The tent was snow-blue, and He Lingshan's white face was nestled in the soft satin pile, like a small moon surrounded by clouds at night.He leaned down/body and kissed Wen Mingyu's eyes: "After a good sleep, do you feel better?"

"En." Wen Mingyu made a nasal sound, looking lazy.He Lingshan noticed that he was still not in good spirits, so he sat on the floor, leaning his elbows on the edge of the bed, and looked at him motionlessly.Wen Mingyu joked: "Have you seen any changes?" He Lingshan also laughed: "The moon changes every night."

As soon as these words came out, he himself was taken aback for a moment, wondering whether the tone of the words he said just now would appear frivolous.Wen Mingyu pinched the tip of his nose in a funny way, stood up on the bed, and said, "Yes, the moon changes every night." He Lingshan didn't understand what the other party meant, but Wen Mingyu changed his clothes without explaining, Go into the bathroom to the side.After pondering for a while and still not getting a result, he gave up and asked instead, "Why did you go back to Longyuan?"

Wen Mingyu's voice came from a distance: "If you stay on the mountain for a long time, you will be bored." Soon he came out of the bathroom, his face was wet, and there were a few drops of water hanging on his face.While wiping with a towel, he stared at He Lingshan meaningfully: "Why, haven't you hidden me enough?"

The little secret hidden in his heart was suddenly exposed, and He Lingshan's face burned like fire.However, when he was drunk, he had done even more extreme things to this person, and now not only was he not very afraid, but he even let out a long sound, as if it was an affirmation of the problem.As expected, Wen Mingyu just shook his head, went to the mirror to straighten his neckline, and had no intention of haggling with him.

He Lingshan walked over, hugged him from behind, and put his chin on his shoulder.Wen Mingyu turned around, rubbed his nose against his, and suddenly said: "Last time when you made such a big commotion, Yue Shangying still led his father's soldiers well, and must have found an excuse to make Ruan Lingyi go .”

"Yeah." Speaking of Shangying, He Lingshan lacked interest, and just stared at the two overlapping people in the mirror: "But my uncle has already become suspicious, and he can't hide it for too long."

Wen Mingyu smiled and said: "That's good, I have a person here, you bring it to Yue Shangying, and let him hand it over to Ruan Lingyi himself."

On the second day, when Shang Ying saw the person who needed him to "carry on", she took a step back in surprise.

It was an old man. Although his hair had been combed and he was wearing a new green bamboo cloth gown, it was still evident from his stooped figure and tired eyes with drooping eyelids that he must have experienced a rather miserable life. .He clasped his hands and looked at Shang Ying with a flattering and confused smile, obviously he didn't know who Shang Ying was and what he was going to do to him, even though he didn't know anything, he was still extremely obedient.

"Who is this?" Shang Ying pulled He Lingshan aside, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that you recruited the old servant from the Ruan family to amuse me?" He Lingshan said, "Who is he? You'll know when you take it there." Shang Ying still looked skeptical: "No, I can't help you if you don't make it clear. A few days ago, Wen Yongtang still insisted on me in order to do something for you. It's really troublesome." He persisted like this, so He Lingshan had no choice but to reveal a little bit, saying: "This man once served Sheng Jingyuan, and he knows some secrets about him."

Hearing the word "secret", Shang Ying gave a soft ooh and said, "I see, you're going to play tricks on it."

He Lingshan said: "Yes, that's it, please act quickly."

Shang Ying was still reluctant, and bargained for a long time, until He Lingshan agreed to solve Wen Yongtang's problem for him, then he was willing to take the old man away.Along the way, the old man kept a polite silence, and when he was about to reach the mansion where Ruan Lingyi was resting, he couldn't help asking: "Sir, how is the Sixth Young Master doing? Seeing that he hired so many people to come to me, how big is this?" The pomp and pomp... I knew that the Sixth Young Master would have great promise in the future."

This poor man completely believed the lies of the Wen family, thinking that Sheng Jingyuan was thinking about his old love, but he was still working in the fields in his old age, so he was picked up from the countryside and planned to re-employ him.Shang Ying glanced over and said perfunctorily: "He is very good and promising." The old man nodded and smiled: "That's good, that's good." With a smile on his face, he followed Shang Ying silently and entered the heavily guarded house.

More than half of those patrolling around the mansion were soldiers with live ammunition, and not far away were the troops under Commander Zhong.Even if the Wen family wanted to break through the defense here, it would take a lot of effort.Shang Ying understood why He Lingshan asked him to help him, because no one but herself could safely bring this old servant to Ruan Lingyi without causing any trouble.

It was still very early at the moment, Shang Ying drank a cup of tea alone in the living room, and not long after, she saw Ling Yi coming in slowly.The other party was still wearing a nightgown, and his eyes were drooping listlessly, probably just waking up.Shang Ying called out with a smile: "Mr. Ruan." Ling Yi snorted, Quan Zuo responded.He sat down opposite Shang Ying, first poured himself a cup of coffee, and asked with lowered eyes: "What's the rush, you must call me early in the morning?"

Shang Ying said according to the prearranged speech: "I heard that Wen Mingyu has returned to Longyuan."

"You also know?" Ling Yi sneered, and threw the spoon into the coffee heavily: "Zhong Yaozong, an idiot, has been a guardian envoy for a few days. I really think he can dominate this place. Such a blatant leadership He ran to Longyuan to make a scene, and in the end he lost all face and gave the Wen family a ready-made excuse. You should read the newspaper this morning to see what it said about him."

When necessary, Shang Ying can be very considerate, especially when the other party is still the target he is going to coax: "It's no use getting angry. It's better to take this opportunity to let the surname Zhong give an order to the police station." , Arrest Wen Mingyu immediately. Isn’t that what you planned earlier?”

Ling Yi said: "I have already told Zhong Yaozong what you said last night, but I haven't seen him move yet. This person is really useless. It's no wonder that he has led troops for decades. The biggest official is just a guardian envoy."

Having said that, he was a little annoyed again, and swallowed his coffee with a sullen face.At first, he liked Zhong Yaozong because he knew how to assess the situation and was obedient enough, but now Zhong Yaozong lost even this last advantage.His father was right, there was absolutely no benefit in working with such a fool, but it was too late to withdraw when things had progressed to this point.Ling Yi decided that after Shang Ying left, he would make another phone call to Zhong Yaozong and persuade him to follow his opinion no matter what.Even if he has missed the best opportunity, Wen Mingyu who is seriously injured is far easier to deal with than a healthy Wen Mingyu.

Shang Ying smiled, and as if remembering something, she patted her hand on the sofa: "By the way, when my car passed the intersection just now, I saw a man sneaking around here looking here. I arrested him I came to ask a few words, and the man begged me for mercy, saying that he came from the countryside and was an old acquaintance of Mr. Jing Yuan. I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I’ll leave it to you.”

"I've never heard of Jingyuan having any relatives in the countryside of Yancheng." Ling Yi frowned: "Forget it, where is he, please show me."

Soon, the old servant was ushered in.Due to nervousness, he shrank back as if he was afraid of the cold, put his hands in his sleeves, and kept his eyes on his toes.Ling Yi took a look, and secretly thought that he came from the countryside, this person didn't seem to be lying.He has never had the patience to deal with servants, so he asked coldly, "Who are you from Sheng Jingyuan?"

The old servant subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him. After reading it, his drooping eyelids suddenly lifted up, and the eyes shone with surprise.He made a long bow to Ling Yi, took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Master Bihe, it turned out to be Master Bihe! Don't you remember me? When you were looking for the sixth young master, I was the one for you The door is open."
