Chapter 156: Old Friend
Cheng'er came to visit Director Yang again, and went directly to his house, Director Yang took the trouble to ask his subordinates to stop him outside, and explained: "If he sends something, he must not come in." ”
After a while, the next person went back and forth: "He didn't bring anything this time, only said that his mother wrote a pair of words, saying that he would give it to his wife." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Yang walked down from upstairs, and when she heard it, she glared at the next person: "Old Yang can't attack it, so find a way from me, these people are really good at finding a way, knowing that we are not people who see money, so they will change their ways to send elegant things, right, but unfortunately, I am not a vassal and elegant person." ”
She tore the words in her hand, unfolded them, and continued to criticize: "Who is this person's mother, her face is very big, why do you think I can read her words......"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly paused, looked up in a panic, and changed her tone: "Call someone in!"
Lao Yang was a little confused, and stretched out his head to glance at the paper.
The word is a good word, but it is still a little short of calligraphy.
His wife has seen the world, so she will not fall in love with this painting, so she will probably look at the content of this painting.
What was written on the paper was: "Zhanhuan thinks for a lifetime, and you inherit a hundred generations." ”
Cheng'er entered the door, looked at Mrs. Yang for a long time, and retreated: "Eldest sister." ”
Mrs. Yang was stunned and did not move.
Lao Yang called her softly: "Huan'er, Huan'er?"
She still didn't move.
Lao Yang raised his voice again: "Hong Zhanhuan!"
She finally came to her senses and tugged at his ear: "Die, you, make such a loud noise." ”
Lao Yang begged for mercy again and again, she finally let go of her hand and urged: "Go and pour tea for my brother, go quickly." ”
The two sisters and brothers have never met, but after Meng Siru and Huan'er left the Meng family, although they didn't want to go back, they still paid attention to the news of the Meng family, they knew that there was a Cheng'er, and they only knew.
After taking a seat, Cheng'er asked Meng Siru first, and the answer was that Meng Siru had passed away.
After Meng Siru left, she did her own business and did a good job, leaving Huan'er with a reputation of taking Wanguan's family wealth as a dowry, she broke away from the shackles of the Meng family, and lived a prosperous life for many years, but it seems that she did not break away from the shackles of her daughter in the end, which may be her willingness.
With this relationship, Cheng'er's application for a pass was much smoother, and Huan'er also knew that the Meng family had experienced so many twists and turns later, she sighed for a long time, and half-jokingly said: "Look, the second uncle's original words have come true, just say, what kind of oath do you make?"
Lao Yang recognized his relatives, knew the ins and outs, and sat aside and worried about him: "Lord Meng is now the town guard over there, that place is occupied by foreigners, if it weren't for Lord Meng's death, the people on that side are afraid that they would have been homeless a long time ago, this is a chore, no one wants to go for so many years, even if you forcibly arrange people to go over, change people with a softer temperament, you can't keep it, Lord Meng is ruthless, but the credit is not small, to tell the truth, if you want to bring him down, the price is too great, no one will support it." ”
Cheng'er thought thoughtfully: "But as far as I know, he was obviously in collusion with Burhard a few years ago, and Burhard was able to balance the two sides when he was alive, but now that the ambition of foreigners is growing, he may collude with them again one day, this person has ruthless means, but there is no morality to talk about, isn't it very risky to put that important position in his hands all the time?"
"That being said, but it is true that there is no suitable candidate for him, as soon as he goes, he will leave his hometown, there is no return date, this has to be a 'military general', now that he is fighting, the 'military generals' are all treasures, which is not full of honor, who can be arranged? Besides, you have to have a reason to replace Lord Meng out of thin air, you are a common man who said that he locked up your father, who will care?"
Director Yang analyzed all the problems he could think of thoroughly, and Cheng'er had nothing to say.
With a sense of loss, he got up to say goodbye, Director Yang thought of something, and stopped him: "I'll give you this pass, you can only go alone, I don't know if you will be with your mother, but ...... It's supposed to be a shortcut for you, and I can only do one. ”
Cheng'er sighed and replied: "Originally, I was going to go alone, my mother is old, and it is inconvenient for her to travel tiringly, but ...... If it is as you said, then Mengkuo I can't do anything about him, I am hesitating, whether to take my mother to meet my father, but ...... It doesn't seem like there's a need to think about it, after all, I don't have any extra passes. ”
He couldn't let his mother go alone.
"That's what I was telling you. Director Yang stepped forward and said, "I'll write you a note, you go find someone, he can find a way to ask you to bring a few more people over, but ...... This man is very cautious, but I will try my best to introduce you to see if he will help, and you should always give it a try when you have the chance. ”
Cheng'er actually didn't have too many surprises, he didn't have a few people to bring, only his mother, but he didn't know if the Xin'an County boundary was safe, and he didn't want his mother to go over in his heart.
But this brother-in-law was so enthusiastic that he didn't want to go against his will, so he had to politely say, "Then there will be work." ”
Director Yang wrote a note, and Huan'er accompanied him.
On the note, he asked him to find the minister of the Quartermaster Support Department, who was here to transport military supplies, and he did not need special examination to go to the border of Xin'an County, and he could add a few people to the transportation team.
"The old minister retired, and now his son has taken over. On the way, Huan'er introduced to him, "Speaking of their family, it is very interesting, this old minister's surname is Liu, their eldest son is also surnamed Liu, and the second son is surnamed Weng, the tumbler's Weng." ”
"Weng?" Cheng'er frowned, vaguely feeling that this surname was a little familiar.
They did private matters, and came directly to Minister Liu's house, different from the small western-style building of Director Yang's house, Minister Liu still lived in the house of Sanjin, as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw an old woman basking in the sun leisurely in the courtyard, and heard the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes slightly, and pouted: "What do you have to do, are you looking for my boy, I will warn you first, if you want to do something, you will be exempted from ......"
The old woman's spirit was good, and she talked a lot, and the more Cheng'er listened to this tone, the more familiar she felt, and some handwriting kept flashing in his mind, and suddenly he silently recited it silently: "Weng Rongrong?"
The other party's words stopped, and he looked at him stunned for a while, and then a teapot smashed over: "Where did you come from, bastard, no big or small, my name is what you can call directly, huh...... How do you know my name?"
Half an hour later, Cheng'er and Huan'er sat in the living room, watching Weng Rongrong sigh uncontrollably.
His eldest son comforted him beside him, coaxed for a long time, but she still couldn't understand the melancholy: "It's a pity, my husband just did this back then, the third young master was sensitive at that time, and even the official officially sent his obituary, I was afraid that I would get into trouble by contacting him more, so I broke off the letter with him, I haven't heard from him for many years, I don't want people to be gone, hey, by the way, what happened to your father and mother?"
Cheng'er sighed with her for a while, it was fate to meet the old friends of the elders here, and hurriedly told her father about it, and expressed her intentions.
It was still sighing for a long time just now, but suddenly there was no movement at this moment.
Huan'er interjected at an inopportune time next to her: "You can't just take your second aunt and mother, I have to go too." ”
At this moment, the mother and son over there suddenly waved their hands in unison: "No, no, no, no, it can't be done." ”
Her eldest son, Liu Dagongzi, is the current minister, and he has been an official for many years, walking on thin ice, as Director Yang said, he is very cautious, even if this kind of thing can be done, he will never do it, for fear of causing others to grab the handle and cause unnecessary trouble to himself.
Although Weng Rongrong has a relationship with them, on this point, their family has reached a consensus.
"I'm really sorry. Weng Rongrong looked guilty, "Our family, it's not easy to get here step by step." ”
Huan'er had a bad temper, and she wanted to say a few words, but she was pulled by Cheng'er, and the two reluctantly said goodbye and pulled and pulled out.
Before he could get out of the courtyard, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and then saw several soldiers pushing an old man in.
The two hurriedly turned sideways to give way, and saw that the old man had gray hair and was wearing a long coat, which looked valuable but a little dirty.
Before they could push in, Liu Dagongzi had already helped Weng Rongrong out, and the soldiers reported to them: "This old man has been sneaking around at the door for several days, and he still wants to go in today, I don't know what the attempt is!"
"What can an old man do if he has an attempt, just get out of it, don't make trouble. "Lord Liu commanded.
The soldier listened to the order and pushed the old man and was about to turn around, but suddenly, Weng Rongrong seemed to have discovered something, and chased after him with wide eyes.
She pushed the soldier away, grabbed the old man, and gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "It's you! Xu Xiaoyuan!"
Before they had time to go out, the two siblings who were forced to wait and see looked at each other, and they were very unfamiliar with the name.
The uncle named Xu Xiaoyuan let her hold it, and said with empty eyes: "It's me, I have something to look for you." ”
"Hmph, are you here to apologize for killing my child, or are you here to atone for his father being imprisoned?" Weng Rongrong said with a mockery on his mouth, and when he said the second sentence, he raised his hand and pointed at Cheng'er.
Xu Xiaoyuan looked at Cheng'er in shock, and Cheng'er raised his eyes suspiciously.
Soon, they were back in the drawing room.
Uncle Xu Xiaoyuan took a breath: "I was wrong before, I should admit it, but I came to you for something else." He looked at Weng Rongrong and asked tentatively, "Your brother, Boss Weng, died strangely, do you know how he died?"
Weng Rongrong's face darkened, her brother was stabbed across the chest, obviously he was killed, but he had a very bad reputation for being rampant and domineering in Xuncheng at that time, and the case was hastily closed by an accidental death in the government, and no one stood up to speak, and it was not a pity for him to die in the mouths of the people, but for Weng Rongrong, what she lost was a loved one who loved her.
At that time, they had no official and no official and no official and were soft-spoken, but now after this reminder, Weng Rongrong felt that she was qualified to avenge her brother, and she asked sharply: "Who killed him?"
Xu Xiaoyuan slowly took out a brown seal from his pocket, the color of the corner was dull, like the blood stains immersed in it, it looked a little infiltrating, he held up the bottom of the seal and showed the name to a few people.
"Meng Kuo!" everyone was shocked.
The world is so small, you can meet him here.
"I saw with my own eyes that he killed Boss Weng that day, and this is evidence that he left behind at the scene. Xu Xiaoyuan's voice was flat and firm.
"If you have evidence, why didn't you come up with it earlier?" Weng Rongrong roared.
"I ......" Xu Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly, "I have been timid and afraid of things in my life, for fear of getting into trouble for myself, and later married a wife and had children, and my life was not bad, so I was even more afraid of causing more trouble, but ...... I have had three children before and after, all died young, last month, my youngest son just left, you see, you didn't have the pain of having children, I used three times to bear the second half of my life, maybe it's retribution, after my youngest son left, I don't think I can be afraid anymore, I want to come to you to tell you about it. ”
Weng Rongrong listened, her face turned pale, she grabbed the sofa, pulled off the tassel on the backrest, and stood up suddenly: "This Meng Kuo, I can't spare him." ”
She turned her head and said to Cheng'er: "You want to go over, go, I agreed." ”
Liu Dagongzi was stunned for a moment, and secretly rubbed his hand and dragged her.
She immediately turned around: "You go and do it for them, what I said, it's not just them, ask your brother to follow, anyway, he has nothing to do if he is idle, bring down Meng Kuo, our family must do something!"
Young Master Liu stuck out his tongue, nodded and hurriedly went out.
Liu Ergongzi, to be precise, should be called Weng Ergongzi, so inexplicably joined the camp, I heard that it was to avenge his uncle, he had no complaints, but looking at the few people in front of him, he always felt a little hanging.
I'm afraid that I can be killed quietly without seeing anyone.
It was his sincere suggestion: "Auntie, don't go, do you want to......"
"Good. Before he could say anything, Cheng'er nodded, which made Weng Er Gongzi choke a little.
Cheng'er didn't really want Siqing to go, but relying on the three of them alone, he was really not sure about bringing his father back, and he was afraid that they would never see each other again.
The second son of Weng came up with an idea: "I know some friends in the rivers and lakes, waiting for me to call them together." ”
Huan'er rolled her eyes beside her: "Friends in the rivers and lakes, it's a gangster, I said, why are you, the young master of the official family, still playing with the gangsters?"
Cheng'er admired it very much: "I can't say that, friends in the rivers and lakes are sometimes very righteous, but ......" He was a little worried, "Will they help us?"
"No problem, I'll call Xiao Du over for dinner in the evening, and let's discuss it. ”
Gangster Xiao Du has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he doesn't look like a gangster at all, he speaks softly, and he didn't bring his little brother here, Cheng'er reasonably suspects that he is a little brother himself.
But this little brother was very righteous, patted his chest and said that he was willing to follow.
Cheng'er "recruited troops", plus he had a total of four people, before leaving to say goodbye to Siqing, Shanghai was another round of bombing, he wanted Siqing to return to Xuncheng first, afraid that she would not, he made a promise against his will: "I will definitely be able to take my father back." ”
Siqing finally nodded, didn't say much, she didn't want Cheng'er to send her, she didn't come back until they left, Cheng'er followed the military transportation team, beat her side by, she stared at her son, and also saw Huan'er, but they had to disguise, they couldn't recognize each other and say goodbye.
However, Xiao Du waved his hand at her enthusiastically, as if he was seeing an old acquaintance, Huan'er saw it, and continued to roll her eyes: "You are really familiar, how old are you, can you still know my second aunt?"
"Hehe, the four seas and the like are all family. Xiao Du laughed and was about to speak, but when he saw a soldier next to him looking up at them, he was afraid of being reprimanded, so he quickly shut up.
The soldier turned his face and looked back at Siqing's position.
Siqing was still standing in place, but far away, and each other's faces could no longer be seen clearly.
