Chapter 116: Seeking Wealth and Danger (II)

Coming out of the east end of Changfu Street, Xu Xun, who was aimless, slowly walked south along the moat, and he didn't know how long he walked, but as soon as he looked up, he found a familiar bridge in front of him, and he sped up his steps for a while. As soon as he stood on the bridge, he remembered the scene of plunging into the water to save people a few months ago, and he laughed unconsciously, and he actually held the railing with both hands and looked down at the water, and gradually came to his mind.

It's been a few months, and it's been unbelievable when I first arrived, and it's like a world away. Now from the outside, he can no longer see that there is still a trace of the previous world, and there will no longer be the confusion of that kind of dreamy reality.

"Brother Xun!"

With this voice, Xu Xun looked back stunned, and the next moment, he only felt that a hand like an iron tong suddenly dragged him away from the railing of the bridge, and then he was dragged off the bridge without saying a word. It wasn't until he stood firm and saw Xu Liang with an angry face in front of him that he really asked a little dazedly, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

"What for...... Aren't you planning to jump ......" Xu Liang saw that Xu Xun's face was even more strange, and couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a while to realize that he was concerned about it, so he quickly turned his head away in embarrassment, "Ah, that's my mistake." I saw you lying still on the railing, and you kept poking your head down and looking down, thinking that you would not be able to figure out what stupid thing to do for a while...... Ahem, I should have known that you kid wasn't so dead-eyed, and I was blind......"

Seeing Xu Liang talking and talking, he was a little incoherent, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. Seeing that the old man turned around to leave, he reached out and put his hand on Xu Liang's shoulder, thought for a moment and said sincerely: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not a three-year-old child, I can still hold on, but I won't be able to turn around for a while." On this hot day, you have probably followed me far away in the sun, so let's find a shady place to have a cup of tea! ”

"Good, good!"

Xu Liang said that he was blind, but he was really a little worried about Xu Xun in his heart, so he naturally agreed when he heard this. When he and Xu Xun went around to an alley next to the Xu family's small mansion, and sat down at the small tea stall where he had drunk tea with Li Qingniang and Shen Yue before, he suddenly realized that Xu Xun had clearly guessed that he had followed all the way in Xu Xun's words just now, and he was suddenly happy and confused. Seeing that the old man who set up the tea stall was carrying a big teapot and pouring a big bowl of tea for each person, he smiled and stepped aside to look at the fire, he drank most of the bowl with a grunt, and then rushed to speak in front of Xu Xun.

"Little Brother Xun, I know that you have been the son of Second Master Xu for more than ten years, and this matter is really difficult to accept today. To tell you the truth, when Father-in-law Fu mentioned this stubble to me a few days ago, I was the same as you. It's just that I'm getting older, and I don't have any extravagance in my children, so I'm naturally happy to have a son like you. You know, those powerful families often raise a litter of losers, if I have another son for an old husband and a young wife, God knows if it will spoil a bastard? I can vouch for you, no matter what, you will be the only one to inherit the family business. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun was stunned for a moment, Xu Liang sighed, drank most of the remaining half bowl of tea, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Say a heart-wrenching word, I know that you may not really believe in Master Chen and Sixth Master Xu." But this is the arrangement of Fu Gonggong, we must not disobey, if you insist on not admitting it, that is not knowing how to lift, when the time comes, not to mention that the previous credit will be wiped out, there will be countless difficulties and obstacles in the future. You recognize it for the time being, just make an appearance in front of people, and I will never put on my father's shelf to criticize you......"

"Uncle!"

Seeing that Xu Liang said so sincerely, Xu Xun finally couldn't help it, and suddenly reached out and pressed the back of Xu Liang's hand. Although Xu Liang no longer does everything by himself as he used to these days, his years of hard work still make his slap feel as rough as old bark. From Xu Liang's life-saving grace under the Dazhong Bridge at the beginning, to the many days after that, he drove around with him, and then Shen Yue jumped into the river was also the first clue he discovered, and now it is this heartfelt remark, for him who has a soul in his bones from another world, it is impossible to say that he is not moved.

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness."

Without waiting for Xu Liang to speak, Xu Xun took a deep breath and said, "Of course I know that as long as I admit it, I may be able to get a good background." It's just that uncle, have you thought about it, even if Grandpa Fu has good intentions towards me, how many people are involved in this kind of thing, how much effort will it take, and how much trouble will it cause if the matter is revealed? I dare to conclude that if it weren't for someone in the capital, Grandpa Fu would never have been able to arrange it to this point. Moreover, after such a big thing is done, even if our handle is pinched in the hands of others, Grandpa Fu may not mention it because I helped him a lot this time, but what about the people on the other side of Jingshi? Moreover, what is the purpose of others in this arrangement? In the future, if you have used our two chess pieces to cross the river, will you throw them away after using them? ”

"Huh?"

Xu Liang never expected that Xu Xun had already thought so far. Dumbfounded, he looked at Xu Xun, and felt that his head was a little knotted, and after a while, he stammered a little and said, "So...... So you just ...... Just ...... in front of Grandpa Fu"

"That's fake."

If you want to say that the people who can really make Xu Xun confide in his heart one or two words now, in addition to the little girl, there are also six relatives who don't recognize him and only recognize him as the young master, only Xu Liang. At this time, he let go of the hand that was pressing Xu Liang, spread his hands, and shook his head helplessly.

"Grandpa Fu has already opened the skylight and said something bright, just like Uncle Xu, you just said, can I still carry it to the end? I still seem to be beautiful now, but where this scenery came from, I still have self-knowledge. Uncle, my father has been away for so many years, I wrote a lot of letters to him at first, but no one knows where others are for a long time, and there is nowhere to send the letters. To be honest, I have always regarded you as an adult, and it is easier to say that it is easier to call you Daddy than for you to accept me, the son who suddenly appeared. ”

"You ......" Xu Liang originally thought that Xu Xun's biggest knot was to admit himself as his father, but he didn't expect Xu Xun to say such a thing after analyzing the stakes, and he was quite moved. He turned his head unnaturally, sniffed hard, and then diverted the topic, and said angrily, "I made up my mind when Gonggong Fu came to me about this. I've always been reckless and impulsive, what to do in the future, Brother Xun, even if you say it clearly, I will listen to you. ”

"Uncle, it's time for you, you still have a little brother?" poured out some heartfelt words to Xu Xun, Xu Xun had completely adjusted his mood, and had to joke with Xu Liang, "Even if I tell you not to change my mind when I go back to see Grandpa Fu, uncle, you should call me kinder, otherwise after I go back, Grandpa Fu may forgive me for my little things, and you will be greatly criticized for following you all the way here today, but you have made no progress." The most important thing you should do now is to practice a few more times in private, how to call me closer and more numb......"

"Bah, you stinky boy, you actually made fun of the old man, I'm here!"

Xu Liang was amused by Xu Xun's words, and instinctively slapped Xu Xun on the head, and then suddenly realized his action, and was immediately stunned. After a long time, he coughed awkwardly, but he no longer had the unnaturalness when he talked with each other before, and he sighed and said with a wry smile: "Cheng, I listen to you, Xun...... Xun'a! ”

Listening to Xu Liang's stumbling name, Xu Xun finally couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he stopped under Xu Liang's annoyed and angry gaze, and then turned his head sideways to look at the alley that few people passed, and lowered his voice again.

"Uncle, the stakes are very high, and the two of us can't resist, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything. Gonggong Fu and the capital should have been arranged, but they can make the officials get by, but they can't cover the sky with one hand and make the clear stream and the people in the court lose their voices. It's not that I'm boasting, but I made such an appearance in the case of Lord Wu of Yingtianfu who presided over the trial of Zhao Qin this time, plus praise and rewards, many people in the officialdom should have noticed me. Uncle, few people know about your life experience, but once we go to the capital, if you really succeed, countless people will dig out the hidden secrets behind it at that time. Rather than having people uncover their hole cards at that time and make us doomed, it's better to go out and do something now. And, in case my dad is really still alive......"

Although Xu Xun didn't finish his words, Xu Liang suddenly understood. After all, Fu Rong's words were doubtful, and he couldn't help but have that kind of hope in his heart, and the truth of all these facts was originally going to fall on Xu Bian's body. Therefore, after being silent for a long time, he finally nodded slightly.

"Okay, how to do it, I'll listen to you!"

"We can't come forward in this matter......"

The northwest corner of Taipingli is the Xu family's room.

When the two healthy women carried the door panel into the main room, Mrs. Xu suddenly covered her handkerchief, and she couldn't tell whether it was fear or anger on her face. After a while, she pounced on Xu Jin, who was drenched in blood and couldn't see a piece of good meat, and suddenly burst into tears, and countless vicious curses burst out of her mouth, until her son woke up leisurely, and she didn't stop talking.

"Jin'er ......"

Although the executions were heavily beaten, people did not dare to forget the meaning of the lesson just because Xu Xun did not say that he wanted to spare people's lives, so these eighty big slabs really went down to Xu Jin's half life. At this moment, he stared at his mother for a long time, and then he suddenly howled with all his strength, and his heart was full of anger.

Why...... Why did he have to suffer like this, why couldn't he fight that useless loser! Wealth is in danger, he has done so much, why is he still defeated!
