Chapter 38: On the Swing

The gentle wind passed through the alley, parting half a wisp across the alley, like an eighteen-year-old girl's tender hand brushing her cheeks, just like a kind of bone tenderness.

Seeing the gentle smile on Wang Ning's face, the faces of several people next to him were paralyzed, and they became very ugly, and they wanted to pretend that they couldn't see it, but on the long street, in the lanes, there were only a few of them.

Perhaps we can only be glad that few people come here, and most of the people who live here are on the street in front of them at this time.

No one answered Wang Ning's question, and no one dared to despise Wang Ning's idea of a layman on his face. As people who mingle in the dark world of this city, they are also called cancers to some extent, but they also have a choice in doing things. These thoughts are naturally cultivated after a long-term confrontation with the government, and unnecessary troubles will naturally not be found for no reason.

Of course, today's matter has failed, the carriage parked at the corner of the street should have left, and a few people have done a mess, and they will definitely be scolded when they go back.

He said that he was a wicked person, but in the end he did not reach the point of heinousness.

Wang Ning teased a few words, stood up, and instructed again: "We can be regarded as acquaintances, something really happened to this little lady inside, I will look for you." ”

Several people looked miserable, but they turned from evil people to "good people" after such a fuss.

After gazing at the empty courtyard, the king went to the other side of the long street.

Under the scorching sun, after being exposed to half a pillar of incense, several people were finally able to move.

A few people got up and looked at the small courtyard as well, a little attendant's face was pale, and he was probably angry, and then suddenly said, "Big brother, let's forget it like this?" ”

The bearded man who was called the eldest brother looked angry and said angrily: "How can it be just like that. ”

"Then I'll go in and tie them up."

"You pig's head?" The cheeked man gave the little brother a fierce shudder, glaring at the beads of his eyes, "That guy must not have gone far, even if he goes far, what if he comes back?" ”

The little brother covered his head and bent over to the side, and he almost burst into tears just then.

The eldest brother looked at the one next to him, his eyes flashed slightly, and asked, "Li Er, do you recognize that person?" ”

Li Er shook his head: "I saw it once before, and I was cleaned up." ”

A few companions around were interested, after all, in their usual interactions, they really hadn't seen Li Er being cleaned up, he was cleaning up others. I wanted Li Er to talk about it specifically, but he was glared back by the boss.

The cheeked boss pondered for a moment and ordered, "Li Er, you are watching from here." ”

"Big brother, do we really want to protect this?" The little brother who had spoken before spoke again at this time, looking incredulous and unwilling.

"Most of the people on the road we know, like the one just now...... Master, we didn't even hear a little wind. It's fine if it's an idler, but if it's in the opposing forces, it's not good for us. ”

The cheek-cheeked boss said and pondered for a moment, and then said, "Seeing that person is very attentive to this little lady of the Ye family, he should come again." ”

"What does the boss mean is that we take this opportunity to befriend him and pull him into us?"

The cheeky boss rarely showed a little appreciation and nodded. Then he explained to Li Eryi and left with the rest of the people.

Li Er stayed in place for a while, looking around and not knowing what to do.

At about the same time, in a quaint Erjin courtyard in the east of the city, the host's family had just had lunch and was drinking tea in the pavilion in front of the courtyard, doing something to enhance feelings.

The courtyard filled with the sound of wind, laughter, flowers, and women's fragrance seemed to be heaven for a while.

After a while, Jin Muyu led people in, and the owner Fang Heng said a few words to his delicate wife, and told his wife to pick up the child.

Fang Heng's child is a three- or four-year-old child, and he has usually seen golden wood fish, so he also has a natural love for this uncle. Golden Wood Fish is also extremely spoiled by children and treats them like parents and children.

Presumably for this reason, he was reluctant to talk about things in front of the child, and after teasing the child for a while, the child's mother withdrew with the child, and the two talked about business.

Fang Heng was still young, it was his youth, he was dressed in a cyan robe, and at first glance he looked like an elegant scholar, but looking at his face, he could easily see that he was a practitioner.

Fang Heng hugged his fists and said, "Big brother come here, I don't know what to tell the younger brother?" ”

Jin Muyu smiled gently: "You and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and I, as a big brother, should have come over to see each other more." Jin Muyu sat down where Fang Heng's wife had sat before, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate, and swallowed them.

Fang Heng summoned his subordinates, ordered to prepare tea for Jin Muyu, and then sat down: "Big brother doesn't have to beat around the bush, if the brother does something wrong, the big brother just says it." ”

Jin Muyu sighed secretly in his heart, his thoughts about Fang Heng were a little complicated. In his opinion, if a person like Fang Heng hadn't suffered some kind of change, he would definitely not have become what he is now, he values Fang Heng's ability very much, so he can rest assured that he will hand things over to the other party to take care of, but Fang Heng has a fatal weakness, that is, he treats people too straightforwardly and too kindly.

In other words, there is no scheming, and if you continue like this, you will suffer sooner or later.

Jin Muyu smiled on his face and sat up straight: "The people from Yongwang Mansion have looked for me!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The young lady of the Su family is missing!"

"They think we did it?" Fang Hengteng stood up, his eyes showing resentment.

Jin Muyu raised his hand and motioned for Fang Heng to sit down, and said slowly: "I came here to tell you, send my subordinates to find out, don't be someone who is doing behind our backs without opening their eyes...... Now the Yongwang Mansion thinks that we did it, and they will not listen to our explanation. ”

"Hmph......" Fang Heng snorted coldly, his face changed suddenly, and he said calmly, "The Tiger Head Gang is not something that anyone can slander. ”

"Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, Fang Heng, you should know that if you really provoke the Yongwang Mansion, the Tiger Head Gang will come to an end."

Fang Heng's face softened slightly: "Little brother saves." ”

Jin Muyu nodded, and regained the appearance of the smiling bodhisattva of Maitreya Buddha.

"You arrange it, if you really help to do it, take this opportunity to clear the people."

Fang Heng nodded heavily.

After talking about the business, talking about the daily life, Jin Muyu also said goodbye, on the way back, the people around him asked about some things, Jin Muyu dealt with a few words at will, and he already had a plan in his heart.

The cronies and old housekeepers who had been staying by his side chewed the words of the golden wooden fish carefully, his expression changed, and he muttered, "Give it up?" Then he couldn't tell whether it was cold or sad and laughed.

Fang Heng immediately arranged for his cronies to investigate, he was not afraid of trouble, but it was better to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Back in the house, his wife looked at him worriedly, he raised his hand and touched his wife's cheek, his fingers ran across her green silk, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

"Xianggong, I'm ......" The woman's eyes were red, and she seemed to want to say something, but she choked up.

"Where's the kid?" Fang Heng had long noticed his wife's abnormality, he couldn't tell what this abnormality was, but every time he saw his wife's eyes, he would be inexplicably sad and irritable, as if his wife's eyes were hiding something that made him depressed and angry.

Therefore, he avoided any look his wife looked at him.

"Fell asleep."

"That's good." He slowed down and became a little gentler, "I have something to do in the past few days, so I won't come back to live." ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry."

Fang Heng said that he went into the back room and glanced at his son, and reluctantly went out.

In a small village with more than a dozen families on the outskirts, an ordinary farmhouse courtyard on the hillside, a simple bamboo fence separates two different worlds.

The woman was dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, and she was bored and sat on a temporary swing in the yard, shaking and shaking.

At a certain moment, someone from the bottom of the hill came up, appeared outside the courtyard gate, put a food box in the fence, and turned away.

The woman on the swing jumped down, came to the fence, stopped the man, and said softly, "Mother-in-law, where is this?" ”

She had done the same action more than once, and she had asked the same thing more than once, but the person didn't care at all except for bringing food, and she had already treated this person as a dumb person in her heart.

This time, too, he didn't answer her, and he didn't even turn around as usual, and went down the mountain by himself.

The wind is blowing and the bamboo is pleasant.

The woman carried the food box to the bamboo table in the courtyard, and she was angry, but she also knew the truth that it was not okay not to eat, so she naturally ate the meal very carefully.

I was depressed, and the gorgeous meal in front of me was a little hard to swallow.

In the house of the golden wooden fish, in the futang in the backyard, the golden wooden fish group sat on the futon, and the Maitreya Buddha enshrined on the Buddhist altar grinned.

Cigarettes soared into the sky and candles flickered.

At some point, there was a figure in the room, wrapped in a black robe, covered with a golden mask, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

"Have you rats been underground for a long time, and you all speak with this virtue." Jin Muyu counted the rosary in his hand, squinted his eyes and slowly spoke.

"Hmph." The man in black didn't want to care, "You and I are only a short-term cooperation, and this matter has nothing to do with once it is over, Your Excellency cares about this, do you plan to join us?" ”

This was somewhat ridiculous, Jin Muyu opened his eyes, and then bowed respectfully a few times and stood up.

"Although we have common interests, you and I are not all the way after all, cooperation can be discussed, and it is a bit ridiculous to join this kind of talk."

The man in black snorted coldly and said, "What is the matter with calling me over this time?" ”

"It's just a small matter to you." Jin Muyu laughed, "It's just killing someone." ”

"Who? If you're an outsider, you should know the rules. ”

"Of course I do. But this man has something to do with what you and I are trying to do. Saying this, Jin Muyu was a little helpless, "If it weren't for the fact that the power behind this person is a little big, there would be no need to make such a decision." ”

"Hmph, let's talk."

"Su Xiaoyan." The golden wooden fish narrowed his eyes, and a cold gaze shot straight away.
