Chapter 494: The Weight of Time
The joke about tofu brain dilutes the stiffness of the atmosphere a little, but it can't solve the essence of the problem, which can actually be understood in the hearts of the two of them.
Treating Ning Yi as a "madman", for Chen Fan, may only be able to find some reasons to convince himself when he can't do anything.
If others were here, they might not believe what Ning Yi said, the hope of his family to be idyllic and return to his hometown to live in seclusion, but Chen Fan could feel it more or less. Of course, when they met in Hangzhou, he probably just felt that Ning Yi was somewhat contradictory. Things gather people from groups, such contradictions are reflected in many people, watermelons raise knives to rebel but have the same mind, they once felt confused because of the erosion of the rebel army, and Ning Yi ...... In the end, all this guy wanted was a simple peaceful life.
Now, looking back on the road ahead, the side of several people is indispensable, and it is bloody and bloody. The changes around the other party, the waves of every thing, are no smaller than anyone else, his conspiracy and betrayal in Hangzhou, the ruthlessness that destroyed the entire Liangshan, including the madness that once overwhelmed Sikong Nan, Lin Xichan and others this time, in the end, this guy said that what he hoped for was just to return to the countryside...... He had even killed his master not long ago.
In terms of simple morality, Chen Fan also knew that he could only do it at this time and kill him, because his father was not in the same place.
But on the other hand, Chen Fan clearly knew that he couldn't kill him here. From beginning to end, the other party chased after him, which was a sincere intention. Even if he regards himself as a brother and a watermelon as a family member, this mentality may not have changed much before and after he wielded the knife. Chen Fan could even clearly understand that at that time, the master was already certain to die, if Ning Yi hadn't rushed there, if he didn't do it himself—it was originally a very simple decision, and the price paid was at most that the master would delay his death a little bit and bear a little risk of being captured—and the other party also understood this matter. But he did it anyway. This move, for his own side, is still out of the consideration of not increasing the risk and letting the situation be broken immediately......
This thing. Watermelons are also able to understand. It's one thing to understand. Confession is another thing.
He put his emotions on the court. Asking Ning Yi for the elm cannon can be regarded as an excuse to divert hatred, but this kind of excuse. In fact, he can't fool anyone, and he can't convince himself. Ning Yi once said that smart people are not happy. If he didn't kill Ning Yi, Chen Fan could only bear the guilt and guilt in his heart for Fang Qifo, Ning Yi could know their emotions, but he would never apologize for this matter, he could only bear the helplessness that came from this, as for the watermelon, for a long time, he could only suffer in these two emotions.
can understand these things, but is still babbling and joking about tofu brains, Chen Fan can only regard him as a madman.
So he put the booklet in his arms and stood up. Between the two of them, the harmonious atmosphere could only lead to the deepening of guilt, so he could only leave: "I heard that Fang Shuchang and Qian Luoning are in your hands. ”
"I'll arrange it." Ning Yi nodded.
"A copy of Master Deng's account book has leaked out. An Xifu is still here with an account book. But I don't know where he is. Chen Fan walked to the door, "If you find this news useful, pay more attention to it." ”
Ning Yi at the table nodded, and when Chen Fan was about to reach the door, he suddenly said, "What about Sister Qian'er?" ”
"Huh?"
"I didn't see her that night, and I remember you liked her."
Ning Yi smiled, and at this time, Chen Fan only showed a hint of a real smile.
"She's waiting for me outside...... Back to Miaojiang. Of course, we haven't, uh...... Well. Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Chen Fan shook his head, and when he held the latch in his hand, he only fixed for a while, and said in a low voice, "In the next few years, I'm afraid we won't see each other again, and so is the watermelon, what do you have to bring her?" ”
“…… I'll go find her. ”
Chen Fan waited for a moment, listened to Ning Yi and didn't speak again, and finally opened the door and left here.
Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, he walked out of the winding small courtyard and returned to the far darkness, where someone was waiting for him on the side of the road. The woman asked him something, and he walked forward, shaking his head, his eyes and steps seemed to have a heavier burden and weight than before.
After Chen Fan left, in the room, Ning Yi sat at the desk for a while. He closed his eyes, as if he were about to fall asleep. It was a long time before he got up from there and pushed open the window, which looked out on the shallow pond. The night was already deep, and the fireflies of mid-spring were passing through the darkness, and the town was sleeping peacefully in the darkness, the distant mountains were silent, and the starlight was thin.
Under the thin starlight, in the dim foothills hundreds of miles away, the girl led her companions, still trudging to the south without stopping, and there was a faint light between the eyes in the darkness.
The foothills of the mountain turned in front of them, and in the direction of the far, far away from the foothills, the channel of the great river crossed the trail of the lights of the ships.
In such a quiet spring night, every window, every bit of light, seems to carry weight, sometimes still, sometimes intersecting. Like the trajectory of every life, in such darkness, we do not know what kind of turns or collisions will occur in the path, and they carry far more than those precious joys and pleasures, and on the way forward, each of us also carries the weight of frustration, the weight of danger, the weight of humiliation, and the weight of pain. It is only when the light has passed, and when the dawn of the day comes, that the morning breeze has washed away so much that we once thought was important but in fact insignificant, that we may be able to precipitate from it......
The weight of life.
The tide of the old era is gone, and time is here, turning a new page.
****************
The sun is getting warmer, the morning breeze blows up the pink petals, on February 23, the process of the criminal department is also over, Ning Yi and the others packed up their bags, drove the convoy, and went to Jiangning.
In the past few days, except for one attack by gangsters. Except for the chaos that caused the two criminals from the Secret Investigation Division to take the opportunity to escape, nothing more happened. The criminal department escorted the captured Yongle bandits and set off for Beijing, and the atmosphere of slaughter that had shrouded the vicinity of Sipinggang for more than ten days finally began to dissipate at this time. However, due to the cleaning of Sipinggang during this period of time, in the following year or two, the state and county security in this area became quite good, and several county orders were able to get excellent results in performance appraisals, and they were greatly blessed.
The battle on the edge of Dabie Mountain has since spread among the green forests. Directly made the name of the heart demon Ning Yi in the green forest have been consolidated. After all, after the Battle of Yangsan. Due to the limited time of dissemination and the limited means of dissemination, the southern part of the country may not really have much real sense of this name. After hearing about Yangsan. Some people feel that there is another powerful character on the rivers and lakes. Some want to go to the capital to get other people's heads and gain a good reputation. But after that, I am afraid that there will be a lot less such foolishness.
For some of the greens in the well-informed. In terms of profound potential, the reappearance of Sikong Nan, Lin Xichan and others is also news that cannot be ignored. However, the knowledge of this group of people is already a minority in the rivers and lakes, and as soon as this group of Manichaeans came out, they were immediately deflated by the hands of the demons, which increased the power of the demons in the eyes of others. As for the more Green Forest people, what they received at first was just a ridiculous and ridiculous message.
It was Lin Zongwu's battle post challenging Zhou Dong.
Like the initial reaction of the Secret Investigation Division, the small number of Green Forest people who heard the news only laughed at first. Shortly thereafter, though, they will feel the ripples of the name.
At the end of February, this group of people made a comeback in the green forest under the name of "Great Light Sect", and the sect leader Lin Zongwu chose the simplest and most direct way to appear in front of everyone. At the same time as issuing a war letter to Zhou Tong, he sent a battle post to the famous sects and grandmasters in the green forest, and then challenged the past from south to north, one by one.
Although this kind of behavior is quite suspected of provoking the world, but the Great Light Sect itself acts, but it is not chaotic, the sect members are uneven, and give a helping hand to the poor and weak, but for some vicious green forest cottages, it is overnight. Although the sect leader Lin Zongwu came to the door to challenge, he always maintained politeness, and after the two sides fought, the other party found that he was superb in martial arts, and often defeated the other party in a few moves, but he also maintained an attitude of learning from each other and talking to improve, which made people feel good.
The people of the green forest are fighting for a mouthful of face, and their skills are not as good as others, but the other party treats them politely, and many masters and grandmasters also borrow the slope to get off the donkey. After the fight, he admitted his failure on the green forest, and praised the other party's art industry, character, and the Great Light Sect, and under this operation, it expanded rapidly.
Of course, that's for later.
At the end of February, just as the name of the Great Light Sect first appeared, Ning Yi had already arrived in Jiangning. When they left Jiangning, the relationship with the Su family was a little stiff, but when they came back this time, the people of the Su family almost went out of the city to greet them, and standing in front of them, they vaguely had a small scar on their face, but they still looked cute Xiao Qi, seeing the convoy coming, they had already jumped up and down to beckon.
At the same time, Bianliang, the right prime minister's house.
Regarding the situation of the first battle in Sipinggang in the south, one by one in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, two days earlier, Qin Siyuan had actually read it one by one, and talked with Yao Zunian with a smile about Ning Yi's handling of this matter - for them, a little turmoil in the green forest is actually nothing, Ning Yi's means and changes in it are worth seeing, as for some of Ning Yi's intentions in it, he may be able to hide it from others, but most of them can't hide it from Qin Siyuan, but Ning Yi didn't cross the line, and the other party felt that it was okay.
What came over today was a new piece of information, which Ji Kun brought in with a cold face, and had obviously read it. Qin Siyuan was dealing with the official documents, and after reading it, his eyes were also gloomy.
"Who is the person behind this Lin Zongwu, have you found it?"
Ji Kun whispered, Qin Siyuan nodded, and thought for a moment.
"We have a background, and they have it, since this matter has not been brought to the surface, we can't pick too much against this Great Light Sect. The matter of the green forest is still handed over to Liheng. But this news ......" Qin Siyuan pointed, "Suppress it for the time being, don't send it to the south, there is no need for Liheng to see it...... Anyway, he and these people are already immortal. ”
"Yes."
“…… The remaining two people in his family are well settled. ”
-- On 27 February, Hao Jinhan's family, including the eldest son, second son, and three apprentices, who were ordered to be transferred from Chongping County, were killed in their hometown Shuanghao Village, 300 miles away from Chongping County, leaving only their daughter Hao Yimei and son-in-law Chen Sinong to survive. The murderer has not been identified for the time being, but judging from some traces left in the local area, it should be the revenge of Lin Xichan's side.
Not long after, Qin Siyuan instructed a few more points, and Ji Kun nodded and left. Leave a piece of information in the corner of the secret investigation department's library and seal it.
Exit, close the door, and the light fades. The library is quiet, and the only thing that is sealed here is the floating dust...... (To be continued......)
