On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Fanming carried a bunch of gifts to the small yard where the shopkeepers of the Chen family bought them.
"Master, look, what have I given you?" Xu Fanming opened the door behind him, and several people came in carrying something.
Chen Jinjun hurriedly went out to see it. It was a large board covered with red cloth.
"Tear it off." Xu Fanming handed a corner of the red cloth to Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun slowly pulled the red cloth in his hand, and a huge plaque came out from under the red cloth.
The two characters "Chen Mansion" on it are exactly the same as the calligraphy gift given by the emperor.
"Boss Xu..." Chen Jinjun's nose felt sour, thinking of the days when he was far away in the capital.
Xu Fanming looked at her and said slowly: "In my heart, Xu Fanming, my boss is unmarried and his surname is Chen, so I can't have a mansion of my own."
Yu Ce nodded aside: "Thanks to Xu Xu for reminding me, otherwise I would have thought about buying the inn instead of this yard."
"In our hearts, the Dong family is still the Dong family. The Dong family does not need family members. Even if there is a marriage contract, even if we have to live in the Huo family now, the Dong family will always be named Chen." Shen Xiaoxiao took the red cloth from Chen Jinjun's hand and patted it. Pat Chen Jinjun on the shoulder.
Chen Jinjun only felt heartbroken: "I also thank you for traveling thousands of miles to follow me to Yongzhou and start from scratch. Thank you for believing in me, Chen Jinjun."
She tried hard to control the turmoil in her heart and prevent herself from crying.
"Where's Wujiang? Why don't you hurry up and hang this plaque outside the door? You can't ask the escort to send it all the way here, and you need help from others to hang it up?" Nie Shisi looked at Wujiang, but he didn't see Wujiang, so he hurriedly call out.
Wu Jiang was standing right behind him. When Nie Shi shouted, he frowned at the loud voice. He raised his leg and gave Nie Shi a kick: "You drunkard, you are blind with your loud voice."
This commotion made Chen Jinjun hold back the tears he had just been moved to.
The huge plaque was scraped above the door under the gaze of everyone.
Chen Jinjun looked back at Xu Fanming: "Thank you, escort."
Xu Fanming scratched his head uncomfortably: "Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Yu Ce. He has always carried the rubbing of the plaque of the Chen Mansion in the capital, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it exactly the same even if I have extraordinary abilities."
"No matter what, thank you and thank them."
Chen Jinjun smiled and sighed, looking at the snow-covered courtyard: "I can be considered as starting my own business for once."
Xu Fanming nodded: "Although I shouldn't say these things during the Chinese New Year, I still want to tell you."
Chen Jinjun looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Zhang has been running to jail these days. I thought he was looking for Cai Ying, but I didn't expect that he was looking for that cruel official." Xu Fanming's eyes darkened when he mentioned the cruel official.
"Cool official? You mean, Du Yu?"
"He is not Du Yu, to be precise, he is Du Yu." Xu Fanming frowned, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
"Du Yu? Who is that?" Chen Jinjun heard him mention this name, but never knew who he was.
Xu Fanming opened his mouth and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "My good teacher."
Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming's gnashing of teeth and knew that the relationship between this so-called cool official Du Yu and Xu Fanming was definitely unfriendly.
"Why do you say that?" Chen Jinjun asked him as he walked into the pavilion in the yard.
"It can be said that without him, there would be no me." Xu Fanming sat on the stone bench and squinted his eyes, recalling the incident that he had held grudges for more than ten years. Although he had to do it, he could never let it go, "Later...
, without him, I can exist.”
Chen Jinjun clearly felt Xu Fanming's emotions fluctuating violently, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, signaling him to drink some water to calm down.
Xu Fanming waved his hand: "It's okay. I'm grateful for his cultivation, but I also hate his snobbery."
"What did he do in the Qinghong Association back then?" Chen Jinjun asked him.
"The Great Criminal Officer, every time there is a traitor or someone who commits a heinous crime, he will fall into his hands. He has many more lives in his hands than I do."
Chen Jinjun had heard about Xu Fanming's ruthlessness, which was evident from the two incidents in which he brutally killed Hu Yuan and Mr. Zhou.
"Then he must have a heart of stone."
"No, he likes to raise cats." Xu Fanming shook his head, "At that time, there were more than a dozen cats at the Qinghonghui headquarters, and they were all his."
Chen Jinjun only thought that Du Yu was very interesting. He touched his chin and said with interest: "This is really an interesting person."
Xu Fanming nodded: "Although his methods are ruthless, he never convicts of unjust or false cases. For bloody people, he will put them into decent clothes after the execution and send them on their way."
Chen Jinjun became interested in this person: "Are you sure he is the so-called cruel official Du Yu in the Yongzhou government?"
Xu Fanming nodded affirmatively: "He has taught me for ten years. It is impossible for me to forget him. I only need a silhouette to know that it is definitely him."
"I want to meet him." Chen Jinjun said to Xu Fanming.
Xu Fanming raised his eyebrows and looked at her doubtfully: "That big traitor named Zhang doesn't know why he went to see him. I don't know what the relationship is between the two of them. What if..." He and the one named Zhang are the same person.
Where's the guy?
Xu Fanming didn't dare to draw conclusions so easily. After all, Du Yu was his teacher. In Xu Fanming's heart, he was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't tell right from wrong.
"What are you afraid of? Before Cai Ying leaves, I will go see Cai Ying and meet your mentor by the way."
Chen Jinjun took out the Xuanfeng Order tied with a red string.
Xu Fanming was dumbfounded and nodded. The Xuanfeng Order could indeed make Du Yu, a paranoid person, look at Chen Jinjun in the eyes.
"Besides, Huo Tingyu will also go. With him here, even if your teacher is really in the same group as Zhang, he can't do anything to me."
"My boss really plans everything so carefully." Xu Fanming shook his head with a smile, reached out and grabbed a handful of snowflakes from the side, and let them melt into water and slide down in the palm of his hand.
"So, what exactly did Du Yu do to you back then?" Chen Jinjun asked a curious question.
"After ten years of master-disciple friendship, I was said to be too selfish to be admitted to the punishment hall." Xu Fanming gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I have worked hard for so many years, but not only have I not broken the shackles of my legitimate son's succession to the throne, I have also not broken his
This sentence brings me obstacles."
"It's like someone saying that my boss is the widow of the Huo family and cannot be the boss of the Chen family. It's pretty much the same meaning."
Xu Fanming looked at Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "I can understand you. Sometimes no matter how much you do, it can be easily erased by someone else's words, which makes people extremely powerless."
Xu Fanming shook his head again: "But he is right. I am very murderous, and my heart is not completely fair and selfless like his. I am indeed not the material to be the head of the torture hall."
He still respected his teacher from the bottom of his heart. As the chief criminal of the Qinghong Society, Du Yu was the role model he had been studying hard from childhood to adulthood.
"Did he say it himself?" Chen Jinjun suddenly said this, and Xu Fanming was stunned.
"No." He shook his head, playing with the cold snowballs in his hands, with a hesitant expression on his face.
In the distance, Shen Xiaoxiao called them to come over for lunch. Chen Jinjun stood up and said, "You should ask him and listen to his own words. Let's go and eat first."
Xu Fanming clenched his fists and gritted his back molars tightly.
Chen Jinjun was right, he really should ask Du Yu personally.
