Chapter XVIII: Brothers
ps: New book seedlings, ask for support, ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
On the official road from Ruzhou to Lushan, a carriage was moving forward in the autumn rain. There were three people sitting in the carriage, one of whom was Chen Ming's cheap big brother.
Chen Gang never thought that he would suddenly encounter such a 'big disaster', how could he still have a face in Lushan? If it is spread by a villain who lacks morality, he will become the laughing stock of the entire Ruzhou.
Chen Gang hated the Gao family who didn't keep his mouth to death, but if he wanted to say in his heart that he didn't regret the 'bragging' he frequently showed in front of his father and the Gao family, it would be impossible. "Why are you talking to death?"
In order to 'compete for favor' in front of Chen Hui, he didn't bother to his father. What Chen Gang never expected was that the Gao family would take this seriously, and show it off again and again. "Foolish, really foolish!"
Since Xiangxian saw his old family and read his father's letter, in the past few days, Chen Gang's whole body has been like being lit with a cold aura, exuding a compelling cold air from his bones. Just like now, Chen Gang in the carriage is like a big ice cube, and his entourage and old servants on the left and right have unconsciously reached the end of the carriage.
Chen Gang remembered the hatred again at this time, scolded the Gao family, and the cold air on his body was even better, and the entourage and servants immediately understood that Chen Gang's mood was bad again at this time.
But there is no worst, only worse, when Chen Gang and his party rushed to the Sitong Inn and did not see Chen Ming's greeting, the air pressure around them was about to freeze. Fortunately, the appearance of the report did not completely turn Chen Gang into an iceman.
"Young Master Gang, Young Master Ming met robbers on the way to Xinji, and fortunately repelled the comers." Chen Ming did not say anything in the letter, only said that the road back to Tumenji was not safe, and he had already sent someone back to the city to report to his father, and sent someone to the grange to call someone. Before Chen Gang brought people to Xinji, he couldn't risk returning to Tumenji.
The cold aura in Chen Gang's body dissipated a little, and he lowered his head and said to the messenger: "Go back and tell Brother Ming, I won't be rash." Well...... let him ...... himself Be careful. ”
These words were said word for word. The person who reported the news secretly rolled his eyes, the difference between the young master of the Chen family and Ming Da Shao was too big. After encountering the robbers, Ming Dashao immediately sent someone to Xinji to report the news, this Chen Gang paused again and again when he said a word of concern, even how cold his brothers were, he failed to pass the exam, and it was best that he would never fail the exam in the future, otherwise the people would suffer after becoming an official.
Of course, there was another reason why the messenger was so angry, Chen Gang didn't even reward him with a copper plate. This is really unbearable. Perhaps this is the main reason why the messenger is so angry.
When Chen Gang arrived at Xinji, the time was close to the end of the hour, that is, it was almost 11 o'clock. Chen Hui's reply has been sent to Chen Ming, just like what Chen Ming wrote to Chen Gang's heart, Chen Hui also asked Chen Ming to bring enough to go to Xinji. If it weren't for Chen Ming asking this cheap dad to calm down and not go out of the city to alarm outsiders, Chen Hui would have brought people here by now.
Chen Ming believed that the cheap dad at this time must be gritting his teeth and thinking about who did it, and he hated it and vowed to repay it tenfold. Chen Hui has no doubts about Chen Ming's relationship with Chen Gang now.
However, the three Zhuangzi of the Chen family were a little far away, and by the time thirty big men with sticks arrived at the shop, it was already halfway through the afternoon. Chen Ming instructed the store to prepare everything, these people came hard in the rain, no matter what, they had to rest, warm up, change clothes, eat two bites of hot meals and broth, and then it was not too late to leave. Anyway, Chen Gang has already arrived at the Sitong Inn. You can't be cold, you can't starve him, and you won't be in danger.
The clothes and meals of the thirty people, even if the former are old and the latter are simple, make the shopkeeper happy and happy. Counting the reward given by Chen Ming, who hired them to run errands, today's income in one day is worth a month in the past.
Chen Ming felt that the time should be around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain had stopped, so the group set off again.
Thirty big men ate and drank enough, and got a set of clothes, everyone was very happy, and the young master Daoming was generous and considerate of the villain. Chen Ming asked Liu Wen to recruit people among the tenants of Zhuangzi before, and he had already brushed up on the impression score, but now these people's favor towards Chen Ming's eldest young master is even more consolidated.
The group stepped on the muddy water and carried the two carriages into Xinji, and it was already dark.
Chen Ming had already decided not to leave today, and ordered the two village leaders who brought people to take ten people to rest in peace, and the remaining ten followed Chen Ming and his party to the Sitong Inn. Of course, the two corpses in the carriage had disappeared now, otherwise Chen Ming would not have the courage to come to the inn with the two corpses.
When Lao Sun and Liu Wu were looking for an inn to arrange accommodation, Chen Ming met his cheap brother for the first time in a good guest room at the Sitong Inn. The atmosphere of the meeting between the two people was really cold, Chen Gang hated the house and Wu, and did not bird Chen Ming; What about Chen Ming? Not to mention the bird Chen Gang. Those who know say that the two are brothers, but those who don't know think that the two are living people who have just met for the first time.
"My brother knows that, too. The younger brother had obtained a porcelain formula in a remnant book before, and said to the second uncle while returning to his hometown to recuperate, our porcelain master tried to fire, and it was unexpectedly successful, and the sales were very strong in the past two months. It hindered the villain, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for the little brother to go out, tied the little brother, and asked the recipe for the porcelain. Despicable and hateful! ”
"Since the person behind it has kidnapped the ticket, I'm afraid that my brother will not be safe on the way back to Tumenji." The means of tying up tickets have broken through the lower limit of the 'rules', who dares to pack tickets, the other party will only tie Chen Ming and take Chen Gang as air? It would be bad if Chen Gang was tied up on the road alone. Fortunately, Chen Gang is not a willful person.
"Brother Ming, do you know who's behind it?"
Chen Gang was also very shocked by this matter, in the peaceful and prosperous era of Huanghuang, this kind of thing happened, breaking his inherent perception of society, which was incredible. So Chen Gang was absolutely angry with the person behind it.
No, why didn't it work out? 'This pickled mind. Although Chen Gang now hates Chen Ming's mother, Gao.
Of course, Chen Ming is not the author, he doesn't have the ability to feel psychologically, let alone his heart, he doesn't know Chen Gang's true attitude at this time. Just followed Chen Gang to speak.
"How do you know. Although the younger brother has been somewhat involved in family affairs in recent days, he has to check people, so he laughs. My father had to come forward in this matter. As long as the other party makes a move, there will definitely be clues left. Such wicked people cannot spare them. ”
Speaking of this encounter, Chen Ming felt scared in his heart. If I was really kidnapped, would I be able to go back alive? The other party said that he only wanted the formula of bone china, but if the kidnappers could believe what they said, the old sow could fly to the sky.
"Brother, this is a handcuff. You put it away yourself. ”
Chen Ming handed Chen Gang a flintlock handcuff and the corresponding medicine gourd and buckshot bag, which startled Chen Gang. He is a talented scholar, and the Four Books and Five Classics are his specialty, and he has seen this big killer there. I was too scared to take it.
"This is what my father commanded. The black hand behind you doesn't know when it will be cut off, even if you go back to Tumenji, you can't say that you must be safe and secure. You can use this handcuff for self-defense. Don't put it on the shelf, go back to Tumenji, and take the time to practice in the mountains. ”
