20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 417 Jiang Lianheng sheathes his sword
It gets dark very quickly, and the night becomes hazy. The east wind is silent, stirring the treetops and blowing slowly in the streets.

After receiving the news, Han Xinyuan and Zhong Yushan rushed from Xiaoxiguan to the Jiang family mansion.

The two met unexpectedly at the northern boundary of the city and looked at each other with a bit of luck in their eyes.

"Old Han, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Zhong Yushan looked at Han Xinyuan, but seemed to be talking to himself, "At most, we have different ideas, we haven't betrayed him, and we haven't been sorry to Brother Dao, no matter how we say it It’s not an unforgivable crime, right? Moreover, we are both elders before we have a chance to attack Wang Tiegong, so we shouldn’t show any mercy at all, right?”

"What's the use of telling me?"

Han Xinyuan walked minding his own business, his voice was low and his face was calm, as if he was planning to explain the facts and reason with Jiang Lian.

"Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong!" He said a little stubbornly, "In that situation, the kid kicked his nose in his face, and the neighbors were all watching! If I had waited for the patrolman without saying a word, the Jiang family's momentum would have been suppressed. , other small gangs have already started making trouble, how can I wait for Brother Dao to come back? Moreover, I have also proposed an idea, but Xiaoyan does not agree, what can I do? "

"That's what I said, but..." Zhong Yushan's face became paler as he got closer to Jiang's house, "Old Han, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. We must think about our words before speaking."

"Are you afraid?"

"You haven't seen it!"

Zhong Yushan immediately slapped himself: "Brother Dao, I'm a bitch!" As he said, he slapped himself twice, "I really didn't mean that, I really didn't!"

Jiang Lianheng's voice was a little tired, so he seemed quite kind.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Lianheng remained silent. Obviously, this was not something he cared about.

After hesitating for a moment, he said tremblingly: "Shouldn't I disobey my sister-in-law's command and lead people to fight with the little devil?"

The two looked at each other, and a bad feeling suddenly came to their hearts.

Zhong Yushan really couldn't think of anything else, so he kowtowed one after another, admitting all his mistakes. The only point he emphasized was that he had never betrayed him.

Han Xinyuan was about to explain the whole story clearly. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yushan knelt down with a plop on the spot, crying and begging for mercy.

"No, no, no!" Zhong Yushan waved his hands hurriedly, "No matter how old you are in the world, not to mention the fact that I am getting more and more sophisticated as I live, I should kneel down to Brother Dao, and Brother Dao should also accept this kneeling from me!"

Before Zhong and Han could react, the black iron door was closed by the two brothers in the corner.

Lao Zhong was different from Han Xinyuan. The moment the door of the house was closed, he gave up the argument in his heart. Although he also believed that Brother Dao was absent and the family should elect a second cabinet manager, he still only admitted his mistake and had no intention of arguing. .

Han Xinyuan frowned and asked, "If you are really so scared, then you could just run away. Why are you following me?"

Jiang Lianheng leaned down and asked, "Old Zhong, I didn't understand what you just said. Where did you go wrong?"

"Brother Dao, thank you for your hard work!" Han Xinyuan walked quickly towards Jiang Lianheng, "When did you come back? You haven't been here for the past few days -"

He was indeed tired. He had traveled all the way and played mahjong twice. He had just returned home.

Jiang Lianheng still didn't respond.

"coming?"

Jiang Lianheng sat in the top spot, the shadow of the lamp on the eaves cast on his face, making his expression look a little obscure. Next to him, Zhao Guoyan stood with his hands behind his back, Liu Yansheng stood on the other side limping his right leg, Zhang Zhengdong and Li Zhengxi were walking around in the center of the courtyard. In addition, there was a tiger hiding in the corner that did not dare to show its head.

"Om-long——"

"Brother Dao, this..." Han Xinyuan hesitated in shock, "Actually, Lao Zhong..."

Zhao Guoyan raised his hand and signaled Han Xinyuan not to talk too much.

Zhong Yushan's kneeling shocked Han Xinyuan to the point where he was at a loss. He was not sure whether he should kneel too, and he didn't understand why Zhong Yushan was afraid of being so virtuous.

"Brother Dao, there is nothing wrong with Lao Zhong. There is a reason for everything!" Han Xinyuan was really honest and immediately defended Lao Zhong and said, "According to the situation at that time..."

"What haven't you seen?"

Jiang Lianheng raised his hand to interrupt, but looked at Zhong Yushan with interest and said, "Old Zhong, you are several years older than me! Kneel down like this and your life will be shortened!"

"Come here!" Jiang Lian waved to him.

Jiang Lianheng sneered a few times, but said: "You are the second cabinet of the Jiang family. I am not here, so of course it is you who has the final say."

"Just say it here." Dongfeng reminded slowly.

"Brother Dao, please calm down. I was really wrong. I will never dare to do it again!"

"Brother Dao! I was wrong!"

The lights were on in the yard, and when I walked in, I saw Yuan Xinfa and many other housekeepers standing around, all of them expressionless and silent.

"Run away?" Zhong Yushan looked around at the gloomy alleys, and waved his hands in fear, "Pull him down! It's better for me to take the initiative!"

"Lao Han and I planned to take action without authorization and interfere with Wang Tiegong..." Zhong Yushan had no choice but to continue searching, "Actually, people from the Zongshe Party came to me and gave me a box of medicinal materials. I didn't take the initiative to tell Brother Dao Say...and...and..."

Zhong Yushan sighed, feeling the muscles in his calves twist, and shook his head with increasing weakness: "Oh! It's hard to say, it's really hard to say! Old Han, after all, you still have Sister Hong's relationship, you must help me later. Say something nice."

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

As they talked, the two finally arrived at the Jiang family mansion. What was different from the past was that Yuan Xinfa and other brothers who were guarding the house were not seen in the alley, and the black iron door was rarely opened to the outside.

Jiang Lianheng never reacted at all, and even laughed it off when he heard about Lao Zhong being greedy for money.

Zhong Yushan did not dare to get up and crawled toward Jiang Lianheng on his hands and knees. However, when he reached the center of the hospital, he was stopped by Zhang Zhengdong again.

Zhong Yushan raised his head and took a look, and said tremblingly: "I... I... I made false accounts in the past two years, and I was greedy for some money. I want to change to a better house, but... I have always been dissatisfied with the Jiang family. It’s so loyal!”

Zhong Yushan's heart suddenly thumped. He was not afraid of asking for blame, but he was afraid of the so-called leniency for being frank. He didn't dare to hide anything. He had to hang himself on a bamboo pole and shake it off.

Zhong Yushan swallowed his saliva and said, "I...I recently opened a black stall in 'Heshengfang'..."

If the water is clear, there will be no fish!

Song's mother is still greedy for a small amount of money when she has nothing to do. If she grasps this kind of thing too tightly, it may not be beneficial to the Jiang family.

In fact, Hu Xiaoyan had noticed the clues when checking the accounts two years ago, but Zhong Yushan did not go too far, and it was done by chance. Once he inquired about it, he found that Zhong Yushan wanted to change his house, so he did not pursue it further.

Everyone saw that Zhong Yushan's forehead was bruised and bruised, but Brother Dao never had an attack, and they vaguely felt that Lao Zhong would probably escape.

At this time, Jiang Lian raised his hand to him and said, "Stop kneeling, stand up!" Zhong Yushan did not dare to get up easily, until Li Zhengxi grabbed his neck from behind, and then stood up tremblingly He stood up, revealing a big bump on his head, and quickly clasped his fists and bowed.

"Thank you, Brother Dao. Thank you, Brother Dao."

Jiang Lianheng's face drooped, and he suddenly asked: "I heard that you joked that my wife has no legs?"

"Ah? Brother Dao, I -"

"boom!"

In the midst of surprise, the harsh sound of gunshots suddenly sounded!

They turned against each other. Many of the thugs who were looking after the house did not expect it. They were immediately frightened and took a step back. When they looked at Jiang Lianheng again, they saw that he was still sitting in the chair, but he had an extra hand in his hand. Box gun, a wisp of smoke coming out of the dark muzzle.

Zhong Yushan fell to the ground, covering his right thigh with both hands, and curled up on the ground. The veins on his neck popped out, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He clenched his teeth, but he just groaned and did not scream until he calmed down. When he came, he opened his mouth and kept admitting his mistake: "Brother Dao...Brother Dao, I know I was wrong..."

Han Xinyuan saw this and was frightened. He subconsciously tried to pull out the gun at his waist, but Zhao Guoyan pressed down his arm first.

"Old Han, be decent, the brothers are all watching!"

Han Xinyuan had to show his dignity because Li Zhengxi's gun was already aimed at his head.

Jiang Lianheng stood up from his chair and walked slowly towards the center of the courtyard. Zhong Yushan was sitting on the ground dragging his residual leg and retreating continuously.

"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, I really know I was wrong!" Zhong Yushan begged with a tearful voice, "I have no other intentions, I really don't, please let me go, because I risked my life to accompany Haiye to destroy the kiln. Son, please spare my life...I will disappear in Fengtian from now on, no, Brother Dao, I will go wherever you ask me to go!"

"boom!"

There was another gunshot, this time hitting Zhong Yushan's left knee.

His muscles and bones were shattered, and Zhong Yushan was in unbearable pain. He finally screamed twice. The clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat from the inside out. The night wind blew and he felt chills.

"Thank you, Brother Dao!" This was the first sentence he said after he recovered. The second sentence was also, "Thank you, Brother Dao!"

When the housekeepers saw this, they immediately understood one thing: if the Jiang family had a "second cabinet", then this person could only be the elder sister-in-law. Anyone who disobeyed the elder sister-in-law would suffer the consequences in front of them.

At this time, Zhong Yushan was admitting his mistake and thanking him for a while, as if he was in a daze. The words coming out of his mouth became more and more chaotic, and he just kept emphasizing his loyalty to the Jiang family.

Two consecutive shots missed the vital point, so Zhong Yushan had a glimmer of extravagant hope - if he could be like Liu Ye, it would be enough to leave a life.

But after all, he is not the Sixth Master, and he does not have such a big reputation that he can let the Seventh Master, Chuanerhong and Hu Xiaoyan work together to intercede.

Jiang Lianheng finally slowly raised the muzzle of his gun.

However, whether it was Zhong Yushan's pleading that had an effect or some other reason, the box cannon hovered in the air for a few seconds and then dropped down again for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Lianheng suddenly turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion without looking back.

"Brother Dao, then I -"

Han Xinyuan took a step forward to follow. Although he was in a state of confusion, he still seemed to have something to say. After all, he had never said anything about Hu Xiaoyan's disability and felt that he should not be like this.

Moreover, Jiang Lianheng never looked at him directly from beginning to end. No matter whether he would be punished or not, he should have an explanation.

However, just as he was about to step forward and follow him, Zhao Guoyan raised his arm again, stopped him, and removed his gun.

"There's no need to tell Brother Dao, he doesn't want to talk to you."

"No, then... what does this mean?" Han Xinyuan asked in confusion, "What's going on with me now? I have to have an explanation, right?"

Zhao Guoyan said calmly: "I'll go with Dongfeng later. There's no need to ask anything else."

Han Xinyuan turned around and saw that Zhong Yushan was enduring the severe pain and turned from sadness to joy. After kowtowing several times, blood gradually seeped out from the middle of his eyebrows, thinking that he had finally left a life.

However, not long after he was happy, he heard a frightening "clang" sound.

He turned his head and saw that Zhang Zhengdong had found a long-handled ax at some point and was dragging it slowly towards him.

Zhong Yushan's face suddenly turned as gray as paper, and he shouted at the closed door of the mansion: "Brother Dao! Brother Dao! I beg you to let me go, can you? Brother Dao!"

No one paid attention, and no one dared to come forward to intercede.

This was something that had been decided a long time ago. When Zhong Yushan first insulted Hu Xiaoyan, Zhang Zhengdong had already had murderous intentions. If his sister-in-law hadn't stopped him at that time, and Li Zhengxi was in prison, Zhong Yushan would not have been able to do so. Live till now.

He violated the biggest taboo of the Jiang family because he simply didn't understand how important his sister-in-law was in Si Fengkou. This weight might even exceed Jiang Lianheng's.

In other words, when Zhong Yushan offended Hu Xiaoyan, he had already offended most of the Jiang family. This matter was more serious than seizing power and greed for money. No one could save him!
Zhang Zhengdong dragged his ax to Yuan Xinfa and whispered: "Call a few people to come over and drag him out!"

On the other side, Li Zhengxi said to Han Xinyuan: "Old Han, you should also go along! Don't be rash, my aunt has interceded with you."

Han Xinyuan looked up at the closed window on the second floor, then looked down at the gun in Xifeng's hand, and asked tentatively: "Can I go up and see Sister Hong?"

"No."

…………

Jiang Lianheng pushed open the bedroom door, and Hu Xiaoyan was sitting on the bedside, waiting quietly.

He walked forward, sat next to her, reached out and touched her two incomplete knees, then suddenly leaned down and took a few sips.

"What are you doing?" Hu Xiaoyan reached out and pushed him away.

We are an old couple, why are our faces still red?
Jiang Lianheng didn't explain, he just put his gown on the chair, turned around and asked, "Where's my daughter?"

"I asked her to go to my aunt's house."

"Hey! It seems you came prepared!"

Fire and water complement each other, and fire and water are in conflict with each other. They either fight against each other or torture each other. Maybe even Jiang Lianheng didn't realize it. Every time he used a knife or a gun, he habitually liked to stay by Hu Xiaoyan's side, so he felt at ease.

Then, he returned to the bedside. Just when he was about to be gentle, something suddenly occurred to his mind.

"I came back a day late. Wife, is my son okay?"
