In the second year of Jiaqing, on the twentieth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, it has been a month since all the sailors in Guangzhou were wiped out, and the various yamen in Guangzhou City are still in that haze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is late spring and the summer solstice has not yet been reached, the weather in Guangzhou is hot, and the feeling of summer is already obvious. In the backyard of Zhai's mansion, in the underpass, Yang Lin walked slowly as if he was strolling leisurely, and Ah Sheng walked in front and led the way.

"Ah Sheng, what is the old hall master looking for me? In such a hurry, I had to come. ”

Ah Sheng, who led the way in front of his head, paused, as if he had some kind of concern. Then, without saying much, he continued to move forward, although he didn't see the change in Ah Sheng's expression, Yang Lin obviously felt that Ah Sheng had something in his heart, which was related to his trip, but he looked like he was speechless.

"Hall Master, I don't know why the old hall master is looking for you, but he is responsible for inviting you here."

At this moment, Yang Lin was even more sure of the kind of thought in his confidence, Ah Sheng must have something on his mind, it was too abnormal. In the past, when walking in this secret passage, Ah Sheng had already talked with him enthusiastically and talked about some things.

Knowing that the other party was not in the mood to pay attention to himself, Yang Lin did not continue to entangle, and followed silently, but he was puzzled in his heart, if there was nothing to do, the old hall master would rarely look for him. Because this old man knew that his identity was too sensitive, and when he didn't want to reveal his identity as the deaf and dumb hall master, he would never easily look for him Yang Lin.

Constantly thinking in his heart, Yang Lin took a deep look at Ah Sheng's back, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to take unhurried steps, following closely.

In the study in the backyard of Zhai's house, there are only two people, the elderly Zhai Dakun and the young Yang Lin, sitting opposite each other, and there is no one at the door, Ah Sheng is guarding in the distance, not letting anyone get close to the study for half a step.

During the short silence, there seemed to be some kind of emotion brewing, and the deaf-mute Zhai Dakun began to gesture with sign language, his expression was so solemn and apologetic, with a strong sense of shame.

"Hall Master Yang, as the old man of the deaf and dumb hall, Qu Kun's father, I thank you for your trust, not only for my courtesy, but also for Kun'er, and many important matters in the hall will be entrusted to him. But, now, I want to express my sincere apologies to you, and say I'm sorry that Qu Kun has failed your cultivation and high expectations..."

Looking at the old man's old hands waving in the air, the gesture was so solemn, and there was a certain decisive meaning in the neatness, such a sign language made Yang Lin confused, puzzled, and subconsciously asked: "Old hall master, what's wrong?" Ah Kun is doing a good job...."

However, Zhai Dakun raised his hands heavily and stopped Yang Lin's question: "Hall Master Yang, you let me finish talking first, and if you have any questions, the old man will explain to you later." ”

Yang Lin nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence, and the old man's hands gestured again.

"It's been almost a year, Master Yang, the changes in the deaf and dumb hall, I can see it clearly, it is getting stronger day by day, and now the only big gang in Guangzhou Mansion is on par, the Qilin Gang does not dare to clash with us easily, even if he has destroyed the three major gangs, Hongmen, Qinggang and Elders."

"At this time, the deaf-mute hall is in a time when its strength is rising rapidly, and it cannot tolerate any turmoil, once something goes wrong, not only will this gratifying scene decay, but the deaf-mute hall will also be greatly damaged and return to the second-rate forces. Although the old decay is old, he also understands a truth, a strong fortress is the easiest to break from the inside, and internal strife is a taboo for any Jianghu force, and it also indicates a sign of decline. ”

Although he was still confused, he didn't understand what this wise old man wanted to say, but when he saw the solemn look on the other party's face, he also knew that what he was going to say next was very important. Otherwise, the two of them would not be alone in the same room, so Ah Sheng would stay far away and no one would be allowed to approach.

"Hall Master Yang, I haven't admired people much in my life, and together, there is no more than one hand, and you are one of them, far better than the others. Cleverness, intelligence, the way of employing people, and the style of doing things are much stronger than old decay. ”

However, Zhai Dakun was about to continue, but was interrupted by Yang Lin. It's not that Yang Lin dislikes his chatter, endlessly, but seeing that the other party's breath is a little panting, and his wrinkled face is starting to flush a little, which is obviously a sign of exhaustion and fatigue.

"Old hall master, as a junior, of course I am very happy to hear you praise and praise you so much, but I have to say that your old health has not been very good, if you have something to say, please say it directly, I will definitely listen to it with both ears, and there will never be any grievances and prevarications."

Zhai Dakun's demeanor froze, and he obviously showed a touch of emotion, and the sense of guilt became stronger and more intense. No longer talking eloquently, his face changed, his gestures changed, and he said in sign language: "It seems that I am really old and a little pedantic." Okay, then I'll get straight to the point and get straight to the point. ”

"Hall Master Yang, I invite you to come here today just for Kun'er's business. The reason why I apologized to you just now is that Lao Yu noticed that he had been a little abnormal in the past few months, and he was always in contact with some unknown people, or secretly, and the place where he met was very secret. ”

As if realizing something, Yang Lin said, "Old hall master, did you have any misunderstanding?" I asked him to do the cooperation between the Deaf and Dumb Hall and the Qilin Gang, and the people you mentioned should be secret agents of the Qilin Gang, who are secretly contacting us. ”

Zhai Dakun waved his hand, and gestured with his hands again: "Impossible, I specially sent someone to investigate, and those people that Qu Kun came into contact with have been there for a long time, long before the rise of the Qilin Gang." Therefore, it can't be a misunderstanding, that bastard kid must have bad intentions, some bad intentions, colluding with external forces, and trying to seize the position of the deaf and dumb hall master. ”

Yang Lin showed a sudden look, and his heart suddenly brightened, knowing that the people Zhai Dakun said, the people Qu Kun came into contact with, who should be referring to? But he didn't break it, he had a plan, but asked: "Old hall master, according to what you say, it is indeed a little abnormal. Well... Old hall master, since you believe me so much, tell the juniors about this matter, and the juniors will definitely investigate it, make further confirmations, and find out the whole story. ”

"Old hall master, if the juniors find out something, it is really as you guessed, what should I do with Ah Kun? After all, he is your only son and the only bloodline of the Zhai family. ”

At this moment, Zhai Dakun showed hesitation, but it was fleeting, and then there was a resolute determination on his face, and he raised his hands heavily: "Needless to say, of course, it is a gang rule, colluding with external forces, and wanting to get involved in the position of the hall master, which is equivalent to the unforgivable sin of betraying the gang, no one's son can do it, even if he is the only blood and blood of my Zhai family!" ”

Yang Lin's heart was moved and admired very much, such an old man, saying such a decisive word, is not for fame and fortune, it is completely a belief, a kind of loyalty to the deaf and dumb. If anyone dares to harm the interests of the deaf and dumb hall, who dares to murder the master of the hall, even if he only has a rickety body, he Zhai Dakun will go out and fight with others, let alone his own son? Even more not, I won't let it go.

For a while, Yang Lin was moved by Zhai Dakun's words and deeds, his heart was completely opened, his face showed sincerity and solemnity, and his hands were crisp and neat: "Old hall master, your behavior makes the younger generation embarrassed, and I admire it very much." To tell you the truth, the people Ah Kun came into contact with were also my subordinates, another hidden force in the shadows. ”

Yang Lin said plainly and calmly, but Zhai Dakun was very surprised, and he was shocked. However, Yang Lin's next sign language was even more shocking, making Zhai Dakun's eyes wide open and his mouth slightly open. (To be continued.) )
