Chen Jinjun smiled: "If we wanted to confront each other head on, we wouldn't show up in Jade City."
The Taoist priest understood: "My boss is here to recruit soldiers and horses."
Chen Jinjun nodded.
Neither Wen Lao nor Xu Fanming expected that through a casual test, they would find Chen Jinjun's old friend from many years ago. This undoubtedly added a lot of convenience to their actions in Jade City.
The Taoist priest asked the teahouse owner to arrange a place for Chen Jinjun and his party to stay. He happily drank two ounces of wine and said he wanted to have a drink with Mr. Wen.
Wen Lao looked at the Taoist priest's haggard appearance and felt a little worried about his health.
The Taoist priest waved his hand nonchalantly: "I should have died when I was obsessed with ghosts. Now I have earned the extra years of living."
Wen Lao took a sip of wine, it was spicy and stung his throat, and he felt a little awkward for some reason.
While drinking, the Taoist priest followed Wen Lao and said with great interest: "In all these years, I have never seen a person in full bloom like me. Today I have met a respectable senior in the world. Life is worth living."
.”
Xu Fanming stood next to Chen Jinjun: "My boss, is this a good relationship forged many years ago?"
Chen Jinjun looked at the free and easy back of the Taoist priest and sighed faintly: "I know the methods of the bandits in the Northeast. They opened the skylight and poured mercury from the top of their heads. The mercury was so heavy that it separated the skin from the flesh. In the end,
When a person can't stand the pain anymore, he will jump out of the skylight above his head, leaving his intact human skin in the snow, which is extremely cruel."
She couldn't bear it, so she opened her mouth to save the Taoist priest.
Xu Fanming naturally knew about this kind of criminal law, but he looked at Chen Jinjun disapprovingly: "But in my hands, my boss will never be able to save such a person who breaks the rules."
Chen Jinjun shook his head: "I was young at that time, and I broke a lot of rules. If it weren't for the old man, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
As he talked, Chen Jinjun thought of his grandfather again, and his mood instantly dropped.
Xu Fanming could tell that Chen Jinjun was not in a good mood, so he quickly changed the subject: "How does the boss plan to deal with the gangsters?"
Speaking of this, Chen Jinjun was instantly full of fighting spirit: "If you ask me, the gangsters must stay until the end. Zhang Gui is not a fool, and the gangsters are not fools either. It is not a bad thing to be careful."
Xu Fanming nodded: "So, my boss is going to cooperate with this Taoist priest?"
Chen Jinjun nodded: "Why not?"
Xu Fanming curled his lips: "Nothing."
But his expression betrayed his inner thoughts.
Chen Jinjun knew that Xu Fanming had always hated evil, and he also knew that he was born and raised in the execution hall, and his dream was the execution hall, and he could not rub the sand out of his eyes.
But in Chen Jinjun's opinion, if she wants to achieve something, she doesn't mind who she uses as long as she can achieve her goal.
She ignored Xu Fanming's dissatisfaction, but raised her head and looked at the setting sun.
The sky was about to change. Chen Jinjun looked at everything in the courtyard, including Mr. Wen and the Taoist priest who were drinking and chatting happily, and Xu Fanming, whose back was lonely and lonely...
Chen Jinjun didn't know whether what he did was really right, but now it seems that the most important thing is whether he did it right or not, but whether he did it right.
Xu Fanming never forgot his original intention and devoted himself to the Qinghong Society and his own original hope.
What about her?
Chen Jinjun's expression became complicated.
In Chaiyang, which is also in the northwest, Shao Peichen looked at Zhou Zhaoyuan who looked ashen.
"Why, Master Zhou is reluctant to give up?"
Zhou Zhaoyuan and Shao Peichen stood side by side on the tower, looking at the rows of Zhou family members below the tower being escorted forward by officers and soldiers.
Shao Peichen patted the edge of the city wall and pretended to sigh: "Oh, what a pity."
Zhou Zhaoyuan put his hands on the city wall and exerted force, his knuckles glowing white, as if he was trying to use all his strength to break off a piece of the city wall.
Shao Peichen walked leisurely behind Zhou Zhaoyuan, pinched his shoulder and neck muscles that were tense due to exertion, and gave him two more blows: "Master Zhou, there is no need to be so angry. For you, this is not a good thing.
?”
After saying that, Shao Peichen gently rubbed Zhou Zhaoyuan's shoulders.
Zhou Zhaoyuan gritted his teeth. He knew where the team would end. Even though he was standing on a high tower, he could still see his uncles taking turns pushing his disabled father.
He frowned, trying not to show his emotions.
However, Shao Peichen did not intend to let him go. He came from behind Zhou Zhaoyuan and leaned into Zhou Zhaoyuan's ear: "Oh, that person on the wheelchair must be your father-in-law."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the old man is really pitiful. He is so old and disabled. This must be a relief for him."
Shao Peichen's voice fell into Zhou Zhaoyuan's ears, like a devil's whisper.
Zhou Zhaoyuan's eyes were red and he tried hard to restrain his urge to beat Shao Peichen violently.
But Shao Peichen kept provoking Zhou Zhaoyuan's bottom line: "Master Zhou, from now on, I'm afraid I can never call you family master again."
"That's enough, stop talking." Zhou Zhaoyuan opened his mouth slightly, trying to relieve the discomfort of the tightness in his chest, but his tightly clenched teeth made a squeaking sound.
Shao Peichen looked at Zhou Zhaoyuan's appearance and found it extremely interesting.
Zhou Zhaoyuan watched the team move forward slowly, and in the blink of an eye the wheelchair was no longer visible.
"Master Zhou, are you sure you don't want to go and have a look? It's the last time." Shao Peichen said quietly behind him.
Zhou Zhaoyuan turned around and was about to run down the tower when he took a closer look and saw a person standing at the stairs leading to the ground.
A woman, wearing a cheongsam with a slit just above her knees, stood looking over from a distance.
Zhou Zhaoyuan remembered her, she was Shao Peichen's right-hand man, and she was also Shao Peichen's spy for the Chaiyang County Magistrate.
Seeing him standing there, Shao Peichen came over again: "Why, is the head of the Zhou family going to be a heartless and unjust person?"
The sarcasm in Shao Peichen's words was too strong. Zhou Zhaoyuan pursed his lips, and his originally flustered mood became a little more determined.
The last time we met, the last time we met, from now on, let him bear the sins of the entire family alone, in exchange for living in this world.
He saw the road ahead clearly, closed his eyes, and rushed forward.
Zhou Zhaoyuan didn't run even two steps before he was hit hard on the back of his head and fell to the ground on the spot.
The woman came over and kicked the unconscious Zhou Zhaoyuan on the ground with her high-heeled feet. After confirming that Zhou Zhaoyuan was unconscious, she raised her head and looked at Shao Peichen in the distance.
Shao Peichen raised his eyebrows and waved to her, gesturing for her to come over.
The woman was obedient and stepped forward.
With a low eyebrow and a submissive look, she stood not far from Shao Peichen: "Sir."
"Well, the county magistrate didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Shao Peichen looked at her.
The woman shook her head.
Shao Peichen withdrew his gaze with satisfaction: "He was sent by the chairman of the committee. Keep a close eye on him. If he does anything, you must tell me immediately."
As he spoke, he lifted the woman's chin with his hand and looked at her face: "Liu Yunxi, Yun'er, you really deserved me to save your life."
Shao Peichen patted Liu Yunxi's fair face and laughed heartily.
