****************************

As night falls, the temperature gradually cools, and the ground is full of broken leaves and dead grass, and the town looks even darker under the gray sky.

The five militia members guarding under the Shipai Gate in the east of the town suddenly became nervous, and looked at the tall soldiers who seemed to have suddenly appeared and were getting closer and closer, and they were also suspicious, and they didn't know if the person who came with the "box cannon" hanging on his waist and carrying a spear on his shoulder was a soldier or an officer, and why did he come alone in this chaotic season?

Before a few people had time to react, the tall soldiers had already come to them, and when they opened their mouths, they slipped into the high-flying Nanchang dialect: "I am the director of the county party department Dai and the county magistrate Wang sent to send a letter to your mayor Chen, who is the head of you?" ”

The regiment members were startled, and immediately respectfully aside, and looked at the short man standing in the middle with an old sleeve rifle.

The man hurriedly put away the old sleeve in his hand, took two steps forward and nodded respectfully: "I am, I am, ah no!" Our leader escorted Mrs. Chen back to her hometown in Yingtan this morning, I'm only temporary, this chief is from the county security team, right? Why haven't I seen you? ”

Wu Ming looked at him with disdain: "Where did you get so much nonsense?" You big asshole shabby town, even if you usually beg Lao Tzu to come, Lao Tzu still doesn't want to come! Let me tell you, the bandits who broke into your town last night to kill people have been caught by our county party headquarters special task force, can't you think of it? By you people...... Hum! Lead the way in front, take Lao Tzu to Mayor Chen's house to deliver a letter, it will be easy to see Lao Tzu in the future, when you enter the city one day, you go to the county party headquarters, Lao Tzu and his brothers will definitely greet you well. ”

The five regiments were pleasantly surprised when they heard that the bandits were caught, where did they know if there were individual Lu mobile teams in the party headquarters of Ludao County, and they only felt relieved and happy in every way after being excited, and finally they didn't have to take turns day and night to be frightened, so they all nodded respectfully to the tall soldiers, and two of them wanted to ask about the exciting arrest process and didn't dare to speak, they would just look at the sturdy and upright soldiers in front of them stupidly, and subconsciously saw him as the commander sent by the provincial city of Nanchang, and the doubt in his heart didn't know where to go.

Moreover, for several months, it has been rumored that Shangrao has become the location of the special district administration, and the party headquarters of each county will be sorted out again, and all officials will be directly sent down by the provincial capital to serve as the power of life and death, and even the county's largest county magistrate Wang can only be subordinated to the second word, and now it is really here, and as soon as he comes, he has caught the terrifying bandits.

For a while, the regimental members only felt that the dusty commander in front of them was extremely majestic, and it was estimated that he had the credit for catching the murderous bandits, otherwise how could he be so arrogant and arrogant, and one person carried two good guns?

How dare the little leader of Tuan Ding hesitate at this time, he hurriedly turned sideways and laughed in a low voice: "Sir, the little one doesn't mean that, I'll take you there, I'll go, sir, please!" Why don't you ride a horse, sir? ”

"It's none of your business whether Lao Tzu rides a horse or not? You don't think Lao Tzu is majestic enough, right? Good! When you see Mayor Chen finish his work, you prepare a horse for Lao Tzu. ”

"This ...... Oops! The little mouth is used to being cheap, don't be angry, sir! The little one is so poor that it jingles, and there are no chickens in the house, how can there be horses? Sir, don't be like a small one! ”

The leader of the regiment was very frightened, if he really let this difficult commander blackmail, it would be bad, and in a panic, he obediently shut his mouth, and almost trotted to lead the officer to the town, where did he know that this arrogant and bad-tempered commander was a bandit who caused them to make everyone in danger.

The atmosphere of the town is still heavy and depressing, most of the people on both sides of the street are closed doors, Wu Ming, who is walking in a tiger's step, is speeding all the way under the guidance of the small leader of the group, and the villagers he occasionally encounters flashes to the side from afar, and he is afraid to pay attention to the tall and mighty Wu Ming and the familiar small leader of the group, until he sees the two of them being led in after being reported in front of the gate of the Chen Mansion, and he dares to move his steps, which shows how much panic the tragedy that happened in the Chen Mansion last night has caused.

Stepping on the three-level bluestone steps of the main hall, the middle-aged man in his forties who was called the third master by the small leader of the family and the group stopped, sent the little leader away in a few words, and then politely invited Wu Ming into the lobby and shouted tea, waiting for Wu Ming to drink the hot tea very kindly.

The third master of Chen Mansion had a smile on his face, but he was puzzled in his heart, he had never seen Wu Ming, and he had never seen anyone from the county party department, plus Wu Ming squatted by the river and shaved his face with a bayonet before he came, leaving only two beards on his upper lip, coupled with a tight face and cold eyes, the whole person looked like a thirty-year-old, and the third master who was uncertain naturally would not recognize it.

However, the third master is very cautious, thinking that as the county magistrate of his in-laws, Wang has always been cautious and steady, how could he send a stranger to deliver a letter to his master today? Moreover, this strange chief with a Nanchang accent has messy hair, and the short man on his lips is as dense as a steel needle, and his whole body is full of murderous aura, which makes people nervous and uncomfortable.

All this made the third old man, who had some experience, very uneasy, and subconsciously glanced at the rifle that the chief casually placed by the door, and then at the two family members standing in the courtyard with guns on their backs, and felt a little more stable in his uneasy heart.

The third master patiently waited for Wu Ming to put down the teacup, and then said with a respectful smile: "Sir, our master is sick, and he has been lying in bed for the past few days and can't get off the ground, and he can't come out to greet the chief in person, it's rude, and I invite Sir Haihan!" If it is convenient, please give the letter of the county magistrate Wang to the next one, and immediately present it to our lord, and the banquet has been ordered to be prepared, the chief please rest for a while, and he will respect the chief for three cups, halu ha! What is your surname, sir? ”

Wu Ming had been looking at the carved beams and paintings and various nanmu furnishings in the room as if no one was around, and after a while, he walked to the front of the large military photo hanging on the left wall, stared motionless for a long time, and slowly turned his head after listening to the words of the third master, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "May I ask the third master's surname?" What is your identity in the Chen family? ”

The third old man was slightly stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile again: "Under the surname Chen Xianyao, he is the younger brother of the old man, ranked third, thanks to the care of the master, he has been in charge of the house, and has been in charge of the fields, mountains and forests in the house and several shops in the county. ”

Wu Ming sneered: "It is estimated that you only replaced the Wang steward in the coffin today and was promoted to the chief butler of the Chen Mansion, right?" ”

"Uh......"

The third old man was stabbed uncomfortably by Wu Ming's words, and for a while he forgot to ask the high surname of the person who came, remembering that the short-lived Wang housekeeper who had been pressing him for several years felt irritable, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and it took a while to adjust his emotions, and he said quite sadly: "Let the chief laugh, our Chen family has been frugal and kind for generations, I didn't expect that yesterday would cause trouble, if you are negligent, please also ask the chief to look at the face of County Magistrate Wang, and bear with me!" ”

Wu Ming smiled, stood up and straightened his belt, and said in an unquestionable tone: "It's easy to say!" Brother, I am busy with military affairs, and I don't want to stay here for a long time, so the banquet will be waived! Please take me to meet Mayor Chen immediately, brother, I will hand over the letter to him with my own hands, and leave when I get him to reply. ”

"This ......" the third master stood aside and hesitated.

"What? I'm also the leader of the special operations team of the county party department, do I still have to beg when I see a little mayor? Joke! Lao Tzu said in front, if you push back again, Lao Tzu will leave immediately, and all the responsibility will be borne by you! Wu Ming raised his face, stood up and was about to leave.

The third master hurriedly stepped forward to apologize repeatedly, called the maid on the side to give a low command, and once again respectfully bowed his hand to Wu Ming: "Sir, please!" ”

"Lead the way!" Wu Ming's words were stiff, and his expression was even more arrogant.

Wu Ming entered the familiar courtyard under the guidance of the third master, glanced disdainfully at the two gun-wielding men standing under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, walked to the door of Chen Jiyao's bedroom and slowly stopped, frowned and silently looked at the young woman who was listening to the report of the third master at the door.

The fair-skinned, dignified and beautiful woman was also looking at Wu Ming, her beautiful apricot eyes showed a little nervousness, she nodded slightly after listening to the words of the third master, and stepped forward to salute Wu Ming, but a pair of eyes still looked at Wu Ming's face, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere.

Wu Ming waved his hand impatiently in response, raised his feet and followed the frightened third master and the woman into the door, walked through the elegantly furnished living room, and finally came to Chen Jiyao's bed.

Chen Jiyao, who had three strands of beard and nearly half gray, was lying at the head of the bed, with a brocade quilt behind his waist, his upright face was sickly burnt yellow, and under his slender eyebrows, a pair of slightly puffy eyes were looking at Wu Ming apologetically.

The third old man lightly brought a chair and put it in front of the bed, and the young woman quietly walked to the head of the bed and gently arranged the quilt behind Chen Jiyao, so that Chen Jiyao could lean more comfortably.

"Sir, please be seated." The third master whispered to Wu Ming to sit down.

Wu Ming was not polite, he sat down with a golden knife, staring coldly at Chen Jiyao's face, his eyes were shining brightly, his face gradually changed, his tall body seemed to tremble slightly, and the hand resting on the handle of the gun at his waist became tighter and tighter.

The young woman was the first to notice the sudden murderous aura on Wu Ming's body, and involuntarily sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Chen Jiyao's arm and body close to it, and kept looking at Wu Ming with frightened eyes, subconsciously wanting to block in front of Chen Jiyao.

The three old men standing behind Wu Ming's side seemed to be shocked at the same time, and wanted to retreat quietly while Wu Ming was not paying attention, but he didn't take two steps before he heard a string of crisp metal sounds, and the muzzle of the black hole made him unable to move half a step anymore.

"Third master, if you don't want to die, squat at the foot of the bed for me, don't expect those wastes in the yard to save you, since I dare to come today, I don't take you seriously, I just don't want to affect other innocent people and kill more people."

Wu Ming's authentic local voice was low and cold, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand moved away from the direction of the third master's head, steadily pointed at the end of Chen Jiyao's bed, and casually took off his military hat and threw it aside.

The third old man trembled and moved to the end of the bed and squatted, where was there still a little calmness on his face? Obediently squatting and not daring to move, beads of sweat began to appear on his shiny forehead.

Chen Jiyao stared at everything in front of him in astonishment, and met Wu Ming's reddened gaze at the end, only to feel that his whole body was cold and gray.

There was a dead silence in the bedroom, the sound of heavy breathing was audible, and even the air seemed to be getting heavier. In silence, Chen Jiyao and his woman finally recognized Wu Ming, the woman's expression was extremely excited and flustered, and she turned to the sluggish Chen Jiyao and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, and tears welled up from her eyes in pain.

Chen Jiyao suddenly raised his head and sighed, then cried with grief and suppression, his whole body trembled disorderly, and the muddy old tears instantly flowed all over his face: "It's finally here!" Retribution! ”

Wu Ming felt a dull pain in his heart for no reason, his mind was spinning quickly but he didn't know what to say, so he had to silently look at Chen Jiyao and his woman who were in pain.

After a long time, Chen Jiyao finally stopped his tears, he gently patted the woman who was on his shoulder, uncovered the quilt slowly, and moved to the side of the bed to face Wu Ming: "Since you rebuilt the tomb of your mother, I know that there will be such a day, I am sorry for your mother, I am sorry for you, you can take this life, I just ask you not to harm my family again, please!" ”

"Noβ€”"

The woman threw herself on Chen Jiyao and cried bitterly, suddenly turned around and came to Wu Ming, knelt down with a "bang", and cried while kowtowing: "I beg you, let our master go, Steward Wang, who killed your mother, has been killed by you, can't the hatred in your heart be dissolved?" For so many years, our lord has felt deeply guilty, and it is not easy to suffer day and night! Please don't hurt my master, he is your father in a thousand mistakes! I beg you, please spare my lord's life! ”

The stubborn woman kept kowtowing, her head hitting the ground "thump" made her heart palpitate, and the blood gushing out of her forehead mixed with tears still flowed all over her face.

"You're stupid! I am a sin who deserves death, why do you do this, why do you have to do this? Chen Jiyao climbed out of bed with his hands and feet, hugged his woman and cried bitterly.

Wu Ming let out a long sigh, slowly stood up and inserted the gun into the holster, tilted his head and gasped for a long time, then suddenly turned around and took heavy steps.

"Waitβ€”"

Chen Jiyao hurriedly got up, trembling and walked behind Wu Ming: "So far, except for a few relatives and friends, no one knows your identity, I don't know what your name is now, I and County Magistrate Wang have pushed the matter to the ** in the west, the people of Wujia Village said that you follow your mother's surname, called Shanlingzi, as long as we hide from outsiders, there will be no big mess, but I think it is better for you to leave Shangrao for a while, after all, after all, many people have died before and after, maybe someone has seen your appearance." ”

Wu Ming didn't say anything after hearing this, he took steps forward again, heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, immediately turned around and flashed to the side, staring coldly at Chen Jiyao who was chasing after him barefoot, "What do you want to do?" ”

Chen Jiyao coughed violently, waved his hand again and again and straightened his waist with difficulty, gently pushed away the woman who ran to his side, raised his head and looked at Wu Ming with tears on his face: "You change your clothes, take some plates, you can't go anywhere without money!" ”

"You don't fucking do this!"

Wu Ming's emotions that had finally stabilized were finally completely out of control, he yelled at Chen Jiyao, but tears poured out of his red eyes without fighting, and for a moment he only felt that his ears were roaring and his head was blank.
