After the Republic of China
Chapter 164 Ask
In the hall, the brazier was scorching hot, making people's faces red.
Hearing Mr. Shao's words, Luo Congbai almost overflowed with joy in his heart.
However, now that he was able to keep his face still, he immediately suppressed his joy and said modestly: "It's all arranged by the old man."
Is this flattering?Old Master Shao gave Luo Congbai a funny look.
Butler Zhang looked at Luo Congbai in surprise, and felt that the child had changed a lot. Compared with the straightforwardness of his childhood, he now has the true teaching of his master's conduct in the world.
Being looked at by the two old men like this, Luo Congbai felt somewhat uncomfortable.
However, in order to give people a good impression of being steady and not greedy for merit, and to hide from his aunt, he still looked at the other party with a sullen face and a sincere face.
His behavior made the two elders even more funny.
Mr. Shao waved his hand directly, and told Mr. Zhang to go down first.
The old butler Zhang took the opportunity and went out to guard the gate.
As soon as he left, there were only two people in the room, and Luo Congbai felt even more uncomfortable.
Mr. Shao's expression became more and more relaxed.
He skipped the previous matter and asked directly: "Cong Bai, how did I treat you when I was younger?"
Mr. Shao's genius made people puzzled, and even made Luo Congbai's heart tighten.During this period of time, he has been in frequent contact with Manggu, isn't it?
The atmosphere in the room, following the old man's words, immediately became a little quiet.
Luo Congbai's complexion, accompanied by the flickering lights in the hall, was a bit bleak.
Mr. Shao didn't rush, but just waited quietly.
Luo Congbai's mind turned sharply. He knew that no matter what, he had to face the old man if he believed in Tangu in his heart.
Then, he clenched his fists and said seriously: "The old man treats me no worse than lying to my aunt. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the old man, but if you can answer, the boy will say nothing."
Mr. Shao really didn't appreciate Luo Congbai's seemingly forceful reply.
I saw that the old man who was kind and friendly just now pulled his face straight away, and snorted coldly: "When I was young, I counted you as a ghost, so I can't tell you that you are easy to bully."
How dare Luo Congbai accept these words, and immediately said with a bitter face: "Old man, how can you say that."
Seeing his sour face, Mr. Shao laughed a little.
However, the old man still had a sullen face, and said: "Tell me about what happened to you during this time, you have to tell me what you have, or else, let me see how I will forgive you."
As he spoke, he directly gave Luo Congbai a cane.
Seeing that the old man was poked with a walking stick, Luo Congbai knew that something was going wrong, but at the same time he was relieved, this matter probably had nothing to do with Li Gu.
Then, he hesitated and said, "Could it be that something happened outside?"
"Humph!"
The old man just snorted, and didn't continue.
Seeing this, Luo Congbai knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly said honestly: "There is nothing else, I just promised others a few years ago to do me a favor."
Mr. Shao was noncommittal.
Luo Congbai swallowed, and said cautiously: "No, since I'm here, I'll push you away when I'm busy. What? What else happened in the city?"
After Luo Congbai finished speaking, his heart was actually pounding hard.It's not that he wants to lie to the old man, it's just that this matter is too big and involves confidentiality, so it's good for everyone not to mention it.
Seeing Luo Congbai's calm expression, Mr. Shao didn't believe it, he still didn't believe it.However, he knew in his heart that some things probably had something to do with this kid.
Then, the old man didn't ask the question any more, he just sighed and said, "It's true that something happened in the city, isn't it small?"
Luo Congbai's face darkened when he said this, and he asked anxiously, "How do you say it?"
Seeing that Luo Congbai finally stopped holding it, Mr. Shao snorted coldly and said, "Something happened to the Liao family."
"Something really happened." Luo Congbai felt like the dust had settled, but his heart was still hanging because he didn't know how it was going.
As soon as Luo Congbai's words came out, Mr. Shao's face darkened immediately, and he scolded: "You really know."
Luo Congbai was startled, and secretly regretted that he was impatient.
"Come on, you brat, don't make me rush." The old man urged, ignoring his expression.
In a few words, Luo Congbai already understood why the old man recruited him, and why he was in such a hurry.
He thought about it carefully, and replied seriously: "Don't worry, old man, we have nothing to do with the Liao family's affairs."
Seeing that Luo Congbai's words were affirmative, although he still didn't say any redundant details, it was enough for Mr. Shao to have these words.
Then, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I hope there is nothing to worry about."
"What should I say, does anyone suspect that they have come to our house?" Luo Congbai frowned.
Since childhood, the old man treated Luo Congbai well.
Therefore, Luo Congbai directly referred to Shao's family as our family, which is absolutely true.Not only that, but also very affectionate.
Mr. Shao is a wise and kind Confucian.
He treats his sons and nephews who are of good mind and is extremely tolerant.
Mr. Shao heard the intimacy in Luo Congbai's words, and sure enough, he didn't mind at all.
Luo Congbai was worried and even guilty that he might bring trouble to the Shao family.
The old man was not afraid of this, he just frowned, shook his head and said: "Whether you doubt it or not, I can't say that, after all, everything is too coincidental."
Isn't it?Tonight, their Shao family was attacked by bandits, and they were also attacked by bandits outside, and the police came to their house in advance, which is a bit unclear.
Luo Congbai also knew that tonight, the Liao family would be stolen.Just why move ahead?Who mentioned it earlier?This is where his anxiety lies.
Moreover, Commander Liao has been fighting for many years, and he is not for nothing, so he is afraid that he will be settled in the fall!
Hearing the north wind suddenly blowing outside the window, Luo Congbai lost his composure and got a headache.
Seeing that Luo Congbai didn't have a clue, Mr. Shao was happy, "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't be afraid. I will be frank if anyone asks."
After all, the old man was afraid that Luo Congbai would be involved.
After all, as far as the situation of the Shao family is concerned, not to mention his own connections, but even his son-in-law who has a certain status in the military, it doesn't mean that anyone can touch him.
Moreover, this son-in-law also especially protects his wife's family.
Seeing the old man like this, Luo Congbai didn't know what the old man meant by calling him here.
Then, he felt more and more guilty. Although he was still thinking about the outside affairs, he still calmed down and asked with concern: "Then how to deal with Qian Tong?"
If you beat a thief and don't die, you will suffer.Both young and old know this truth.
But this is a family scandal, and it's so dirty, Mr. Shao doesn't want Luo Congbai to participate, not only that, but also the granddaughters at home.
Then, the old man shook his head and said flatly, "You don't need to do this."
After finishing speaking, he felt that his tone was too strong, and the old man rarely explained: "I know in my heart, this thief can't escape."
Although Luo Congbai had expected Qian Tong's matter long ago, the old man would not let him touch his hands, but he would feel more at ease if he asked after all.
Now, hearing the old man's persuasive words, Luo Congbai knew it was too late to go further, so he said, "Then what else do you have to say, old man?"
Hearing Mr. Shao's words, Luo Congbai almost overflowed with joy in his heart.
However, now that he was able to keep his face still, he immediately suppressed his joy and said modestly: "It's all arranged by the old man."
