A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 5

1,

Huaguo Mountain outside Haizhou City has been a place of great incense since ancient times. Temples headed by Sanyuan Palace are all over the mountains.When they went up the mountain, their hearts were pious, and they spared no effort and effort. When the dusk suddenly descended in the evening, they turned their heads and went down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain—they knew that outside the cigarette smoke, among the dense forests and cliffs, there was the most stalwart group of bandits for a hundred miles around. According to rumors, each of these bandits had the ability to fly over the walls and the cruelty to kill without blinking an eye. In the hand, if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin.They are enemies of everyone's wealthy households. The leader is Zhong Han. Few people have seen his true face. They only know that he became a bandit when he was a teenager. A disciple of the closed door, when the Lu Clan was hunted down by the government, he took the opportunity to create chaos, killed Lu Zhengyi, who had been so kind to him, and pulled out his men and horses to set up a banner on the hill, turning the Lu Clan into the Zhong Clan, and fled to Huaxia. The sinister land of the Eighteen Plates of Guoshan, occupying the mountain is the king.

Zhong Han was cruel and ruthless, and he didn't pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all. After Chen Zongyong took office, he sent troops to encircle and suppress him several times, but failed to do so, which angered Zhong Han. Go, stay on the mountain and become Mrs. Yazhai.Chen Zongyong's face was lost, and he only said that the third aunt had died as a martyr, and he was disheartened, so he didn't care about the bandits.Zhong Han knew what was going on, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stopped playing with the wealthy households in Haizhou City, and kept a distance from the officials.After fighting there, the reputation of Zhongjiazhai spread far and wide, and several groups of bandits nearby came to join him one after another. Zhong Han became more and more powerful and became the emperor of a side.When people mention his name, their scalps go numb, and even Shen Yunpei can only shake his head and sigh, helpless.

Wen Qingyun was dragged out of the car, and the first thing she saw was the black and golden dragon banner of Zhongjiazhai fluttering in the wind and rain.The gravel path led down to the base of the cliff and divided into several strands.A few pairs of eyes protruded from the cliff, and after careful inspection, one could find that the hole was covered by green branches and vines, like a man-eating beast, with its mouth wide open and howling ferociously.She subconsciously struggled twice, trying to avoid it, but the pushing arm behind her got stronger, she staggered twice, and her whole body fell into the muddy water.When he raised his head, those eyes were already around, showing the same indifference to her embarrassment.Someone took the rag from Xuelian's mouth, and she yelled hoarsely, who are you, let me go.Everyone knew that she was wasting her efforts in vain.

A pair of feet stepped on the muddy water and walked over, splashes of mud fell on Wen Qingyun's face, she opened her eyes wide and looked up, she saw coarse clothes, a solid figure, a nose bridge as hard as a knife carved out, and a pair of eyes hidden in the deep eye sockets. Ri's eyes were looking at her with a kind of animal-like gaze.Many years later, Wen Qingyun will always recall the scene when she and Zhong Han met for the first time, and she will never forget the moment when their eyes met. It was not because of fear, but because of unreasonable familiarity.Later, someone told her that occasionally there would be that beast-like gaze in her eyes, the gaze formed by the strength and aloofness in her bones.Few people have it, so they feel familiar with the same kind in an instant.

It's a pity that Wen Qingyun didn't have the mind to savor the inner feelings carefully at that time, her eyes were full of anger and the deep fear hidden under the anger.

Zhong Han looked at it for a while, then turned and left. Someone pushed the trembling snow lotus into a cave at the end of the gravel road, and someone lifted Wen Qingyun from the ground, and continued to push her forward. She continued to struggle, and there was a weak but high-pitched whimpering sound, which finally made Zhong Han turn his head. This time, he understood her thoughts, put aside life and death first, and always wanted to find out what was going on.He also saw her face clearly, a face mixed with rain and mud but still elegant, with hair scattered on her forehead, eyes protruding from the gaps in the hair, revealing a sense of determination and awe, telling him, no matter what What she wants, as long as she thinks about it, she will not give up easily.He waved his hand without hesitation and asked someone to take her to his room.

This is not a "house" in the true sense, but a cave with a door built along the mountain. It is dark and damp, and an oil lamp is placed in the recess cut by the mountain wall, emitting a weak and barren light. According to the books on the entire wall, it exudes the unique fragrance of ink, the familiar smell of Wen Qingyun.A wooden table, two rattan chairs, and a narrow wooden bed are all the belongings in this room.

Zhong Han retreated to the left and right, untied Wen Qingyun himself, and then sat on the rattan chair, his whole body locked in the shadow, revealing a sharp profile.Wen Qingyun raised her numb arms and brushed away the messy hair on her forehead. She knew he was watching, so she simply let him see more clearly.

"Why?" She swallowed, calm and indifferent, as if asking why salt is salty and why sugar is sweet.Just like what he did, what she wanted was the explanation and reason.

He became even more relaxed, and the hard lines softened, because the question was so stupid that he didn't need to defend himself, "Why else would bandits kidnap someone? Of course they want money."

"If it's for money, why hasn't anyone come to search my body until now, and the jewelry on my body is also worth some money." This is what Wen Qingyun was thinking about in the car, they were not as simple as asking for money.

"My brothers were negligent, I'm sorry." He came over, stretched out his hand, and waited for Wen Qingyun to take off the bracelet, ring, and emerald earrings one by one.

"Now I can go?" She seems to be doing business in the market, paying the money and delivering the goods, without procrastinating, just seeking to be innocent.

He shook his head, feeling ashamed that he couldn't buy and sell publicly, and his tone was regretful, regretting for her, "Not yet, you may have to stay for a few more days."

"That means it's not just for money." Wen Qingyun affirmed her guess and said to herself, "Someone must have asked you to do this. Of course you also know who I am. Who will the head of the family do things for? This person must have a big background, or you can get a fortune? Otherwise, why are you willing to risk offending Mr. Shen and the whole Haizhou officialdom to arrest me. This is a big deal What kind of enmity does the person in charge have against me? I am just a little girl, who can I offend, and whom can I have blood feud with... Except, I have blocked other people's money, it can't be Uncle Wei, then only Du Wenjing. But Why do you obey the Du family? Du Wenjing's second aunt is the daughter of the old leader of the Qing Gang, so you are working for the Qing Gang, am I right?" After Wen Qingyun finished speaking, she suddenly thought of how Du Wenjing knew she was going Gongci, do you have his eyeliner in the Shen family?Who will this person be?Knowing that she was going to Qingkou, there were not many people who took this road, and the words Yang Jing'an flashed in his mind.Could it be him?He was going to go out with him, but he said he had something to do, so he left with an excuse, which was the most suspicious.

This part is considered a family matter of the Shen family, so there is no need to ask, even if Zhong Han asks, he will not know.

Zhong Han nodded approvingly. It was the first time he saw such a calm and stable woman. It seemed that she was not yet 20 years old, but her courage and insight were much higher than ordinary people, so there was admiration and politeness in her tone, "You are very happy." You're smart, you guessed it right. But I can't let you go, but I guarantee that no one will hurt you in Zhongjiazhai."

"The boss, I can stay, but I have a request, I hope the boss can agree." Wen Qingyun lowered her head slightly, instead of saluting, "Xuelian is innocent, those jewelry are her ransom, can you be lenient and let her go?" She went down the mountain?"

"Who is she to you?" Zhong Han narrowed his eyes, this is his habitual action when encountering unimaginable things, so that he can stretch out a hand from the depths of his eyes to push away the fog that covers the truth.

"Maid." She answered truthfully, with a calm expression.

"Okay! For your benevolence and righteousness, I will fulfill you." Zhong Han did what he said, let Xue Lian go, and sent a letter to the Shen family, preparing 1 taels of silver to redeem their eldest and young mistress.This is also the benefit that the Green Gang promised him.

Wen Qingyun guessed correctly, this kidnapping was done by the second aunt who came forward to find Zhong Han at the behest of Du Wenjing and Yang Jing'an.Zhong Han had indeed received the favor of the Green Gang. About seven or eight years ago, he had an encounter with his enemies and was ambushed. His brothers were killed or injured, and he was also seriously injured. He ran to the border of the Green Gang to ask for help.At that time, the old gang leader was still in charge of the house, so he hid Zhong Han at the entrance of the hall and saved his life.He once said that as long as the Youth Gang has something to do, he will never refuse.What's more, Second Aunt's request was not high, as long as he tied people to Zhongjiazhai, the Green Gang would come to take care of them.The second aunt also promised that the Shen family would definitely not report to the officials, that the Zhong family village would not have any troubles, and that they would get a sum of money, which was the best of both worlds.

Years later, they occasionally brought up this conversation, and they could clearly repeat every word the other said at that time.What Zhong Han said contained a woman's greatest courage and kindness.Wen Qingyun said that the message revealed by those words let her know that he is by no means a simple bandit.It was also from then on that she became curious about him and wanted to see what kind of man was standing behind the rumors.

After noon, Shen Xiaoru took medicine, drank porridge, and fell into a deep sleep. Mrs. Shen returned to the main room with peace of mind, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch and just about to take a nap, Yang Jingan ran in in a panic, her eyes widened, panting I was so angry that I couldn't speak.

"What's the matter? Tell me slowly, what's the big deal?" Mrs. Shen gave Yang Jing'an a dissatisfied look, and then half-closed her eyes, "You are also at this age, and you still act like a young man, can't pretend?"

"Ma'am, it's not good, Eldest Young Mistress, she was taken away by bandits." Yang Jing'an's voice trembled a little, sounding quite frightened.

Madam Shen turned over and sat up without any sleepiness, "What? Say it again?"

Yang Jing'an smiled wryly, his eyes and nose wrinkled, "Just now when I went out, I said to go to the cabinet to take a look first, and let the young lady take a step in the carriage, but when I caught up, I saw Lu Dazhuang, the new coachman, who was picked up by someone. It was tied to a tree, and it was said that a group of masked men took away the young lady, including her and her car."

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a while, and the string of Buddhist beads in her hand fell to the ground, and she said, "My God, how could this happen? This day is still too late, and the master is not at home, what do you want me to do?" Do it?"

Yang Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said comfortingly: "Madam, don't be anxious, there is no way to be anxious. I think the bandits kidnapped people just to ask for money. It will not hurt the young lady. I will go to inquire about the news now, see Let's see who did it, and see if we can get him back."

"Alright, you go quickly." Mrs. Shen got off the concubine's couch, turned around in the room, and then turned around and said, "Jing'an, wait a minute, do you think we should report to the officials? Let Mrs. Chen help to investigate ?”

Yang Jing'an hurriedly said, "No way. Ma'am, if you report to the officials and let the bandits find out, the eldest and young mistress will not be able to save you! Let me tell you, the news must be blocked right now, and no outsiders should know about it. Even at home, you can't publicize it." , I have already told Lu Dazhuang to keep his mouth shut. We secretly inquired, maybe they will be able to deliver the letter soon, and then we can pay the money to redeem him, right?"

Mrs. Shen didn't make up her mind, she nodded and said, "Alright, just do as you say, Jing'an, I will leave this matter to you. You must be more careful, and nothing will happen to you, otherwise I will Explain to the master?"

Dongmei wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare snacks for the young master, but Yang Jingan stopped her when she went out of the corner door.With their backs behind their backs, the two entered the accounting room one after the other.When Mr. Luo, the accountant, saw them coming back, he retreated out of the door wisely and closed the door tightly.

Dongmei asked, "Uncle, what do you want me for?" The ancestors of the two families used to be connected to each other. When Dongmei's family was poor and was about to starve to death, Yang Jing'an brought her into Shen's house, so she naturally had to respect her.

"Dongmei, you are sixteen, right?" Yang Jing'an looked at Dongmei with a smile, "You are a big girl, and you look handsome. You are not praised by an uncle, and you are no worse than those ladies and grandmas outside. It's a pity, life is hard, life I took the body of a maid."

"Uncle, why can't I understand what you said?" Dongmei lowered her head shyly and turned her body sideways to avoid those two gazes.

Yang Jing'an laughed, "I'm still hiding with you, do you think I don't know that you like our young master?"

"Uncle!" Dongmei's body trembled, her upper teeth were hitting her lower teeth, her legs became weak, and she nearly fell to her knees.It's a big crime for a girl to think about this in any mansion.

Yang Jing'an held him back, "What are you doing? Close the door. I'm your uncle. What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I won't let Madam know."

"Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again." Dongmei did not dare to raise her head, and promised repeatedly.

"Why don't you dare?" Yang Jing'an showed a sneer, "You have to think about it if you want to marry a man and a woman. Besides, with your talent and appearance, it's not wrong."

Dongmei was a little confused, and raised her head slightly.

"You're so smart, you should understand what I mean. Think about it, and tell you something, don't look at our young master is already married, if you are smarter, you might still have a chance." Yang Jing'an stopped, pointing At the door, "Go, do what you need to do, don't worry, uncle will protect you."

Dongmei's heart was pounding, and she dared to breathe a sigh of relief after walking a long way from the door.Yang Jing'an was right, she liked Shen Xiaoru since she was a child.When he was a child, when he came to his wife's room, he would always secretly give her something, treating her like a little sister, without any airs.He took her to fly a kite and gave her a small purse embroidered with plum blossoms, which she still wears next to her body.She once had a dream, knowing it was impossible, but she couldn't help it.Wen Qingyun didn't wake up from her dream until the big red sedan chair brought Wen Qingyun.She told herself not to think about it again, if she had a wrong idea, she would never want to stay in this mansion any longer.But the more he said he didn't want to, the more his head looked like grass under a stone, desperately arching outward.It disturbed her heart for a moment... She felt that she was going crazy. Yang Jing'an encouraged her so much, not just to help her dreams come true. To be excited, it is said to be fulfilled, but it is actually used.What Yang Jing'an wanted was power. If she really became a young mistress, he would be able to speak for herself even more in the Shen family.As for her, should she take a risk? If she wins, she will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. If she gets what she wants, if she loses, she will have nothing.

But she has nothing in the first place, so what is there to be afraid of?

Regardless of whether bandits kidnap people or kill people and set fire to them, ordinary people's lives are still the same.The sun went to the west, half-hidden behind the mountain, every family smoked, and when the situation was good, the oil pan burst out with fragrance, and those who were a little panicked had to cook porridge to fill the stomachs of the whole family.In the final analysis, ordinary people live for this mouthful of food, and one day they will no longer have to worry about their stomachs, and their whole life will be over.

The Shen family's kitchen is the busiest at this time. The cooks put the packed chicken, duck and fish into the big pot and steamer, frying and frying. There was a lot of saliva that lacked oil and salt.People say Master Shen will enjoy the blessings, and the cooking skills of the cook can catch up with the royal chef. This is a really smart person, who understands that it is true only when you eat it in your stomach, and everything else is a false name, just for others to see.In fact, Shen Yunpei is very limited in eating, but Mrs. Shen is not willing to be sloppy.From the first day she entered Shen's house, the first rule was given to the kitchen, no matter what time, no matter what happened, the food must not be left alone.So on this day, when Madam Qin brought the stewed bird's nest to Mrs. Shen's main room and brought it out unchanged, the entire Shen family knew that something serious had happened.

Someone called Dongmei back from the west courtyard. When Mrs. Shen was upset, she was the only one who could talk.But this time even Dongmei was kicked out, "Look at the young master carefully, you don't need to worry about other things!"

Mrs. Shen is upset, she has been in charge of the house for so many years, and the weather has been smooth up and down, and there has been no trouble.Outside the family, who doesn't say that she is virtuous and capable, and she manages the family well?If Wen Qingyun is really torn up this time and spread the word, why don't people poke their spines and gossip?It is said that she has a vicious heart, that she has intentions, that she cannot tolerate her daughter-in-law, and that she drowned her alive by spitting stars.She must not bear this reputation!I was in a state of confusion, when I suddenly heard the family outside yelling as if they were on fire, Xuelian is back!
Xuelian is a dowry girl, so she is not happy to come back. The bandits are too lazy to write letters, so they send her a message, asking for a ransom of 1 taels.

1 taels is not a small amount, and ordinary people can't earn it in a few lifetimes.Mrs. Shen didn't feel sorry for the silver, but was worried that the bandits might not let him go if the silver was given away.After thinking about it, she decided to report to the officials and ask Mr. Chen to send a team, and the officers and soldiers would deliver the silver in person. The bandits would not be able to play any tricks.After thinking about it, she raised her voice to call Qin's mother, change clothes and prepare the car, and go to the government office!She threw away this face, she did everything she could, and if anything happened, she couldn't be blamed!

In the lobby of the government office, Chen Zongyong listened attentively, and immediately called the deputy general Rong Xiang, ordered the troops, and immediately surrounded Huaguo Mountain. "Remember, this time it's not to suppress bandits, but to save people." Chen Zongyong seemed more anxious and serious than losing his own family.

Rong Xiang is a martial artist, not tall, with thick arms and thick legs, and said in a rough voice, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to fulfill my mission."

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, with a tolerant smile on her face, and promised that every officer and soldier who contributed would be rewarded after the task was completed!
When Yang Jing'an came back, Mrs. Shen had already finished her work and was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch drinking tea. All this was a foregone conclusion. In his desperation, he ignored his status and said loudly, "How can this be done? This is too risky." Ma'am, didn't we discuss it? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Mrs. Shen took a sip of ginseng tea and said flatly, "I can't wait. I have to do my best. I will give you the money, and I think of a way. Whether you can turn bad luck into good fortune depends on her luck."

Yang Jing'an stared wide-eyed, looking at the branch that had grown out of the joint, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

Wen Qingyun was placed in what was said to be the best room in the entire Zhongjiazhai. She looked around and saw the same steep walls, the same damp and gray. If she agreed, it was just that the bedding on the bed was cleaner and the table Tea and a bowl of cold noodles were placed on the table.There is also a bucket of clear water standing by the wall, the bucket is dark, with the dirt of the time, people can't help but doubt whether the water is clean.

Xiu Gu, with her greasy black braids, said that Shui Zhonghan had specially ordered her to prepare it, knowing that the young mistress in the city was delicate and expensive, and liked to be clean, so she cleaned it for her.Like it or not.See if she knows flattery.After speaking, he stood on the side and stared straight at her, without hiding her eyes, as if she wanted to see Wen Qingyun clearly from the inside out.

Who can be calm under this kind of gaze?Wen Qingyun was almost dumbfounded.Although she is currently a prisoner, she doesn't have much fear in her heart, or she has reached this point, she knows that fear is the most useless thing, and people will not let you go just because you are scared out of courage, let alone hear you cry twice Shout out twice and feel pity.If she wanted to get away, she had to find a way on her own.Although she has nothing to do now.However, it is considered safe for the time being, and things may turn around soon.This is what she learned after fighting Du Wenjing. There is no poverty in this world, but there are many bright willows and bright flowers.As long as you don't give up, who knows what will happen?
Xiugu couldn't see the ever-changing changes in Wen Qingyun's heart. She said she was looking after her, but in fact her eyes kept falling on Wen Qingyun's hairpin. It was a dragon-headed emerald jade hairpin. It was finely carved and of high quality, even in a dark cave. It emits a clean and cold light——when she took off the jewelry just now, she forgot about this one piece.

Wen Qingyun seemed to have eyes behind her, and she could see what Xiu Gu was thinking, "Do you like it?"

Xiugu blushed, and said with a straight face, "What's the big deal. I didn't steal it from the poor... Back then, my mother had one too. She said she would give it to me when I got married, but my father lost the bet. "The resentment in her tone can only be heard by women.

"Seeing that you are also a girl from a good family, how did you get to this place?" Wen Qingyun asked Xiu Gu's eyes.

Xiugu replied stiffly, "Mother is dead, father lost my bet to Bu Mazi, he is already 56! I will run up the mountain and not go back."

"So you haven't betrothed yet?"

"There's someone here." Xiugu blushed, she hadn't left the cabinet after all, and she was still shy, "I'll visit the hall next month."

Wen Qingyun thought for a while, and pulled out the emerald jade hairpin from her head, "This was also given to me by my father when I got married. It's for you. It's my congratulatory gift for you."

Xiu Gu hid back as if her hands were burning, "Don't come here, I don't want it."

Wen Qingyun smiled, she could see through Xiugu's mind, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to let me go. Take it." There was an irresistible force in her words.Xiugu involuntarily stretched out her hand to pick it up, but she retracted her hand again, "I'll put it on for you." After speaking, she raised her hand, which brought the unique intimacy between girls. She was wearing the shoes on her back, but she couldn't hide her red face and shyness. It was the first time that she went to Zhongjiazhai when she was ten years old, and was with men all day long.

After putting it on, Wen Qingyun patted Xiugu on the shoulder and asked her to look up in the mirror.Xiu Gu stared wide-eyed and held her face in her hands. Just such a hairpin made her face stand out differently.The distance that was deliberately maintained between the two disappeared.When Wen Qingyun wanted to ask any more questions, Xiu Gu was too embarrassed to avoid answering.

In Xiugu's narration, Zhongjiazhai is completely different from the rumors.They robbed and robbed houses, but the robbed were all for the rich and unkind, and the money they robbed was given to the poor.Therefore, the common people in the vicinity all think well of Zhongjiazhai and Zhong Han.If he hadn't led everyone to eat big households and rob granaries in a disaster year, I don't know how many people would starve to death.

"Brother Zhong is a good man." Xiugu stared at Wen Qingyun, as if she didn't believe her, "It is said that he is not loyal and turned against the Lu family gang, but it is actually a villain's nonsense. They are not convinced that Brother Zhong became Huaibei The head of the Green Forest Eighteenth Route team spread rumors for him. At the beginning, the Lu family gang was hunted down by the enemies, and everyone died. Brother Zhong escaped alone. Later, he was rescued by the head of the Qing gang, Liu Gang, and survived. Those people said that Brother Zhong betrayed Lu Zhengyi, there is no such thing at all!"

It turned out that the Green Gang was kind to Zhong Han, and he tied her up to repay his kindness.Wen Qingyun figured out the ins and outs, and also saw through Du Wenjing's intentions. He took so much trouble to avoid suspicion. Even if someone pursues him in the future, it will be the fault of the bandits and has nothing to do with him.Of course Du Wenjing also thought that she could guess all this, so he would not let her live.For a mine, he wanted her life!And the various courtesies enjoyed now are Zhong Han's last sympathy for a dying person.

He was willing to show mercy, and maybe he was willing to give her a way out.

"I want to see Zhong Han." She stared at Xiu Gu, not as if begging, but as if ordering, "You must help me."

Xiu Gu sighed, "Okay, but you can't tell Brother Zhong what I told you."

"Don't worry, I won't."

When meeting Zhong Han, the first thing Wen Qingyun said was, "You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Zhong Han stood under the moon, looking at the dark dense forest in the distance, his shadow twisted and stretched on the gravel road, but his body was stretched straight, ready to go at any time.If he had been easy-going just now in the cave, now he has completely turned into a cold stone, and every strand of hair is sending out a signal of rejection.He could guess why she wanted to see him, so he prepared to refuse in advance.

Wen Qingyun is not afraid of rejection, especially when life is at stake, "I have done nothing wrong. If I die, I am innocent. Don't you steal from the rich and give to the poor? Don't you have a chivalrous heart? So you can't hand me over to them."

He didn't look at her, but he said he was sorry. "I'm a bandit. It's natural for bandits to seek money and kill. If you like, I can say sorry to you."

Apologizing for not being able to save her life, Wen Qingyun stood in front of Zhong Han and lowered his head completely. She looked up, found the pair of eyes, and looked straight over, "I know you owe Qinggang a favor, but you can't Take my life to repay the favor, I don't owe you! Do you want money? My family will send money, ten thousand is not enough, twenty thousand, as long as you let me go."

He felt stunned, how could she see through his mind?Turning around, there is no room for discussion on this matter.

"If you hand me over to them, I will die. If I die, you will not have a good life. Everyone knows that you arrested me, and the cashier tore up the ticket. Master Chen will send someone to destroy your Zhongjiazhai. All of you will die in time." Wen Qingyun spoke quickly and anxiously, as if she had seen the end of her life, she seized all the time and kept her breath as short as possible, "You have to pay so much to repay the favor. The price, is it worth it to let your subordinates bury you with you? They trust you so much, follow you, and you do this, are you worthy of them?"

Zhong Han seemed to be persuaded, turned around again, looked down at her, his eyes still only had pity, pity for the dying person.But he also told her plainly that this little mercy was not enough to make him change his mind.In the past few years, he was fed up with looking at the Qing Gang winkingly, fed up with their high-spirited, cowardly and greedy faces.The Green Gang is about to come to an end, and doing this is the end of their relationship.So, worth it.

"What is your unfulfilled wish? Tell me, maybe I can help you." Zhong Han shifted his gaze to the sky again, the moon is beautiful and never dies.The turmoil in his heart could not be hidden under the moonlight, so he could only endure it.

Wen Qingyun hesitated for a moment, she never thought that she would really die, let alone fulfill her wish.Maybe she had too many wishes, and he couldn't help her.The two stood silently.

After a long time, Wen Qingyun said slowly, "I thought you shouldn't be like this."

Zhong Han smiled wryly, "What should I look like? What do you think bandits will look like?"

"You keep saying that you are a gangster, but I think those who treat themselves as people are more gangsters. You shouldn't be like them." Wen Qingyun bit her lip, was she wrong?Think of bandits as legendary heroes?The disappointment in her eyes made Zhong Hanyou feel even more guilty.He didn't know how to answer, he could only let everything around him be neither awkward nor awkward.

Fortunately, a voice came between the two of them, "Master, someone has sent a ransom."

Rongxiang sent a small leader to change the clothes of the common people, and came to worship the mountain gate with 1 taels of silver notes.Wen Qingyun held back her breath, and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart.In case Zhong Han changes his mind and takes the money and releases him, a bandit can do this.

Zhong Han said in a deep voice, "Take her back, and don't let her come out without my words."

Wen Qingyun was completely disappointed. From the moment she saw Zhong Han, she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart, as if she had known each other before, and seemed to have a long history.Now she felt that she was wrong too much.

She turned around and left, the disdainful eyes she left before turning around, like two sharp swords, stuck in a place called conscience, making him restless.

"Master, what should we do?" Feng Laojiu was still waiting for his reply.

"According to what we discussed before, the money will be kept, and the people will also be withheld." Zhong Han said resolutely.He anxiously looked at the familiar sky and earth, feeling the squeeze everywhere.I did what I didn't want to do, and said what I didn't want to say.He couldn't take it easy.He was so disturbed that he ignored the danger that filled the air, and the small sounds from the depths of the forest were muffled by the wind of his fists, each of which landed on an innocent tree, its leaves swaying and screaming. Question one after another.

He made the biggest mistake in his life. Rong Xiang took advantage of the night to touch up with his troops, and surrounded the sleeping Zhongjiazhai in the dark.
