My name is Ruan Tong, I used to be just the most ordinary young man in Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, Huguang, but I don't want to work for just a few years, my ordinary life has changed dramatically because of two people, and all this has to start from Yang Er, who grew up together when I was a child and was also the best brother. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Once, I thought that Yang Er and I, like Wang San, could only be little people who were nothing in a small county town, and in addition to bullying some timid and fearful people, they were also bullied by powerful people in the county, and then they lived their lives in peace and quiet.

But just a few years ago, Yang Er's family had a conflict with Yao Ju's family, a famous landlord in the county, and then Yang Er was injured by them. But this time it was the serious injury that made Yang Er, who was originally very ordinary, a person, not only more capable, but also much bolder, he actually relied on the power of one person to turn the Yao Ju family, which few people in our county dared to provoke, upside down, and the Yao family was convicted.

And what impressed me even more was that Yang Er also took the opportunity to enter the county government, and even made me and Wang San become officials in the yamen.

If you can get old in this life, it will be a good choice to be so prestigious. That's what I thought at the time, and I felt that this was the way we should go. Unexpectedly, a series of accidents happened then, Yang Er's eldest brother, one of the few scholars in our county who can pass the exam, was found to have killed someone, and then was thrown into prison, and Yang Er, in order to save his eldest brother, also left the county seat......

If you want to save people, you should be trying to find a way in the county, why do you run out instead? Can this find out the evidence that your eldest brother was wronged and overturn the case for him? I thought so at the time, but the result proved that I was short-sighted, because not long after, Yang Zhen rescued his eldest brother who was condemned to death from death row through the power of Jinyiwei, and what surprised me even more was that Yang Er, who grew up with me and fought with people on the street together, Yang Er, who was bullied together, actually turned into a dignified Jinyiwei.

Jinyi Wei ...... Although I am only a small official in a small county, I also know how powerful and terrifying this is, and it is the most feared and powerful institution in our entire Ming court. And Yang Er, he actually joined it so easily! What did he go through, and where did he get such a skill to let Jinyiwei accept him exceptionally and help him rescue his eldest brother from prison?

I naturally can't guess the reason for this, but one thing is very clear to me - the current Yang Er is no longer the Yang Er I am familiar with, and there is already a difference between him and us. In my life, I was just an errand with no power, so I could only keep my voice down and obey the orders of my superiors, and he had become the one who stood tall.

But in fact, it's not bad to live a life like this, at least there won't be any major tribulations, at least you can live this life peacefully. I thought so at the time, but the reality was unexpected again, it turned out that there was not only one special person around Yang Er, but there was another person who had always hidden his identity, and he was still with his uncle Ruan Mian, who was extremely close!

When that day, he told me that he was the altar master of the White Lotus Sect in Gangneung, I almost thought I was dreaming. Then, he solemnly told me that he wanted me to join the White Lotus Sect as well, so that I could do something in the future. At that time, I didn't hesitate to reject him and let me join the White Lotus Sect as a member of the public family, which was a joke.

But in the days that followed, I became extremely uneasy, for fear that someone would find out who my uncle was, and that would bring disaster to me and my family......

Just when I was panicking about this, things changed again, and the county government changed the lord, and the original lord went elsewhere and came to a new county order. And after his arrival, he reshuffled the errand in the yamen in order to establish his authority, and Wang San and I had no backers, and he was regarded as the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey because he had no backer, and we were expelled from the county government......

thought that he could be an errand for a lifetime, and he could even leave this errand that was still a good life to his son and grandson, but the result was ...... I'm really unconvinced, but I don't have Yang Er's ability and courage at all, even if I feel resentful in my heart, I can't do anything about it, so I can only sulk at home.

At this time, the third uncle came to me again, invited me to join the White Lotus Sect, and promised me that I would definitely let me get ahead. At that moment, I agreed to his request, which completely changed my life.

Soon after joining the White Lotus Sect, my uncle came to me and asked me to do one thing - find a way to get close to Yang Er and become a trusted person by his side. At that time, I couldn't believe that Yang Er could actually let the White Lotus Sect target, what did he do? But at the same time, I refused this request, although I have become a member of the White Lotus Sect, I have never thought of being an enemy of Yang Er, he has always been my good brother.

Of course, I couldn't have rejected my uncle like that, after all, my identity was different now. I only deduce that going to Yang Er so inexplicably will definitely arouse his suspicions. In this regard, my uncle actually approved my excuse, and I could see that he was quite jealous of Yang Er.

But things changed for a while, and Yang Er actually sent a letter to me and Wang San, saying that his eldest brother was a county magistrate in Zhuji County, Zhejiang, and asked us to go over and help. And this matter was quickly known by my uncle, and at this time, I had no choice but to go on the road with Wang San and rush to the county town I had never heard of to "defect" to Yang Er.

When I met Yang Er again, he was very different from before. That's not a change in appearance, although a few years have passed, but his appearance has actually not become big, what is really different is his temperament, that kind of calm with slaughter, shrewdness and majesty, let me know that the Yang Er in front of me is no longer the Yang Er I know.

Sure enough, in the subsequent relationship, Yang Er completely showed the ability and courage that people couldn't believe. The big people in the county who were enemies of him and his eldest brother suffered one by one, and his eldest brother, who was the county magistrate, took the opportunity to take all the power in his hands.

After that, Yang Er retired and went to Beijing, a place I had never seen in my dreams before. And Wang San and I were left by him to his eldest brother, Yang Chen, Yang County. We are once again the officers of the county government.

Actually, it's pretty good, although it's not in my hometown, but it's the same errand, and if everything doesn't change, I can live this life safely. At this time, I even forgot the fact that I was still a member of the White Lotus Sect before, and I also received a mission.

But facts are facts after all, and it didn't take long for someone to find me and ask me to go back to Yang Er's side and help the sect keep an eye on his every move. At that time, although I agreed verbally, I felt in my heart that this was impossible, the distance between me and Yang Er was getting farther and farther away, how could it be so easy to go to his side and stare at him?

As a result, within a few years, Lord Yang was suddenly promoted and was going to the capital. And the sect once again passed the news to me, telling me that I must follow him to the capital, so that I have a good chance to get close to Yang Zhen again. In desperation, I had no choice but to ask Lord Yang to follow me to the capital, but the reason was easy to find, because I was afraid that the new county magistrate would deal with us like the previous Gangneung Xinzhi County.

Lord Yang is indeed a good person, and when he saw me say this, he agreed to take me to the capital with him. At the same time, Wang San also had similar concerns, so we set off together to the capital.

At this time, Yang Er was already a high-ranking official in the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town, Beijing, and when we arrived in Beijing, he happened to be ordered to go out. In this way, I once again lost the opportunity to get close to him, and I also found out that he was also much more alienated from us, and at that time he would rather take a country boy to Shanxi than take us with him.

For this reason, I have some complaints in my heart. How can I say that I am a brother who grew up with him and fought together, how can he have such an attitude? Could it be that because of the continuous improvement of his status, he no longer looks down on me?

If that's the case, then why should I say anything more? Since I am already a member of the White Lotus Sect, I should do my duty to help the people in the sect deal with him!

I don't know if this counts as resentment or not, but from that moment on, my feelings for Yang Er have completely changed.

Later, when he returned from Shanxi, he was promoted again, but we had almost no future because Lord Yang was not valued in the yamen. He didn't mean to help us at all, he just let us continue to follow Lord Yang, and didn't say anything except let us live in his home.

At that time, I almost regarded him as an enemy, and my heart was full of jealousy and disobedience, he was originally from the same background as me, how could he be so high? I also want to get ahead, I want to be the one who holds the power in the White Lotus Sect!

For this reason, I became more diligent, always reporting what happened to him in a timely manner, and gradually won the appreciation of the people in the teaching.

Soon after, Yang Er raised his identity again, and then he finally recruited the two of us into the Jinyi Guard as if he remembered something. But it was too late, and he and I were on opposite sides, and his actions would only cause him more trouble!

On a whim, I wanted to tell some of Ruan Tong's experiences and mental journey before he died, so I had this chapter, as well as the following chapter, and wrote it in the first person, I hope you don't dislike it.

By the way, in fact, as early as the beginning of this book, passers-by have already made such an arrangement, if you don't believe it, you can go back and turn to the fifth chapter, where Ruan Mian, who only showed one side, is the volt line laid for this - two million words ago, I admire myself a little......

So it shouldn't be too much to ask for a ticket~~~~~
