Chapter Twenty-Eight: Arrogance

Changsha, in the villa of the master of Heyumen, it is already evening, in Changsha in this season, the evening comes earlier than before, and when the sun has not completely set, careful people can see the faintly visible moon in the sky on the other side.

"There is a vision in heaven." Sheng Feng stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky, "This ghost weather in Changsha steam people to death in summer, and freeze all over the body from the feet in winter. As he spoke, Sheng Feng couldn't help but shudder, turned around and returned to the bedroom, and Tie Mufeng, who was waiting at the door, immediately closed the huge floor-to-ceiling sliding door, and then handed over the hot ginseng tea.

Neither of them noticed that on the edge of the wall below the balcony, there was a person dressed in black, wearing a black mask, and wearing a portable goggles on his face, the man stood below, closed his eyes and listened to the movement above, and then slowly squatted down, glanced at the bodyguard patrolling the side, and after seeing the Kunming dog led by the bodyguard, he took out the bottle and spilled the liquid on his body.

In Shengfeng's room, Sheng Feng, who was slowly drinking ginseng tea, handed the cup to Tie Mufeng, and asked at the same time: "Mufeng, there are still a few days before the New Year, don't you plan to go home to see?" ”

"No, there is no one in my hometown in Shandong." Tie Mufeng put the cup back into the tray, "The relatives at home have been separated many years ago, some have gone to the south, some have gone to the north, and some have gone to Southeast Asia to work, and I don't know the people who are staying behind now, so there is no need to go back." ”

Sheng Feng nodded: "Yes, but you can't want the ancestral house, right?" I instructed the people below, go to your ancestral house once a month to clean and clean, in addition, the land should not be barren, plant something, rice and wheat will be forgotten, I have thought about it, plant some fruit trees in the yard, plant some vegetables in the field, and you can also grow watermelons, watermelons in Shandong are good. ”

Tie Mufeng smiled: "I listen to the old man." ”

Sheng Feng said with a smile: "The land in Shandong is good, but I prefer the northeast, the black soil, don't look at the winter so cold, but very fertile, do you know why it is fertile?" ”

Tie Mufeng shook his head, Sheng Feng said: "Half of the year is very cold, the land is therefore recuperating, in May, the climate is suitable, you can plant crops, although there is only one season a year can be planted, but the planting is better than other places, and the sunshine is also sufficient, it's really good." ”

Tie Mufeng immediately said: "Old man, sooner or later, we will gain a firm foothold in the Northeast." ”

"It's up to me to fight, if it doesn't work out this time, I won't have a chance in my life." As soon as Sheng Feng said this, a small stone smashed on the glass, Sheng Feng and Tie Mufeng realized at the same time, when Tie Mufeng was about to step forward, Sheng Feng raised his hand to stop him, and then thought about it, "Mu Feng, open the lock of the door, and then you go out, I didn't call you, you don't come in." ”

Tie Mufeng was about to object, but when he saw Sheng Feng nodding slightly at him, he no longer insisted, unlocked the balcony door, and then went out with a tray and a teacup.

Sheng Feng got up from the boat, walked slowly to the cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, and selected the precious tea leaves in the drawer. At the same time, the man in black appeared at the door, standing there staring at Sheng Feng's back, and at the same time saw that the lock on the balcony door was open.

The man in black understood, and he didn't hide his steps, he pushed the door directly, sat down while coming in, and took off his shoes with his back to Sheng Feng.

"Trouble closed the door when you came in." Sheng Feng heard the sound of opening the door, and said without looking back, "This year's weather is particularly strange, the temperature has risen a few days ago, and it has dropped again in the past few days, and it is estimated that it will be good after the beginning of spring, I think at most the end of March, the beginning of April, Changsha will be very hot." ”

The man in black didn't speak, put his shoes away, closed the door, and walked straight to the coffee table next to him to wait.

Sheng Feng turned around, held the wine bottle, held the tea leaves and asked, "Drink wine or drink tea?" ”

The man in black raised his hand and pointed to the tea leaves in Sheng Feng's hand, and Sheng Feng smiled: "Sure enough, it's you." ”

The man in black just laughed, then sat down, and looked at Sheng Feng busy making tea there, he didn't speak, just watched.

Sheng Feng stood there looking at the kettle, listening to the sound of the electric kettle, and didn't speak, and when the water was boiling, he began to wash the teacup, scald the teacup, then washed the tea, made tea, and then walked over slowly with the sea of tea, and sat directly next to the man in black, and the distance between the two was only one punch.

"When was the last time we had tea together?" Sheng Feng asked while pouring tea, but the man in black didn't answer, Sheng Feng smiled, "People have to be old, but I've never heard of it, who is so old that they become dumb?" Also, what do you mean by this dress? Are you going to assassinate me? Find your own guilt, seventy or eighty, still climbing up and down, be careful to fall to death you old immortal. ”

The man in black took off his hood, Sheng Feng looked at the familiar but extremely unfamiliar face in front of him and smiled: "Brother Cangxiong, do you think it's interesting?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong picked up the teacup: "Brother Shengfeng, do you think you are interesting?" ”

"Who is the eldest of us?" Sheng Feng smiled, "Am I older, right?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong also smiled: "I'm old, I don't remember, anyway, calling my brother doesn't lose flesh and doesn't bleed, it's not a loss, right?" yes, man. ”

"Yes, brother!" Sheng Feng laughed, Zheng Cangqiong also smiled heartily, and then the two teacups touched together.

Tie Mufeng, who was outside the door, listened to the laughter inside, frowned slightly, and didn't understand, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the health nurse who was about to go in, and gestured to her to come back later.

Tie Mufeng didn't know who the person was coming, but he knew that the one who could touch in from the outside silently and not be discovered by the bodyguards and dogs was definitely not an ordinary person, and he could still talk and laugh with Shengfeng, which showed that his identity and status were not ordinary, no wonder Shengfeng would let him go out first.

After drinking a cup of tea, Sheng Feng poured a second cup, and asked at the same time: "Brother, you are dressed like this, also for the sake of this Jiacuo Palace, right?" Why don't we open the skylight and say something, and no one should hide and guess each other. ”

Zheng Cangqiong looked at the tea in the cup and asked in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, as an outsider, let me ask more, who are you choosing to be the next master?" Is it your eldest son Sheng Yutang, or your youngest son Sheng Zitai? ”

Sheng Feng put down the teapot with a sad face: "To be honest, I don't know, outsiders know that Sheng Zitai is an old man, right?" I like the second child very much, he is very smart and has the demeanor of a leader, but his mind is not on Heyumen, but on the business of Heyumen. ”

Zheng Cangqiong was puzzled: "Is there a difference?" ”

"And the boss, although there are shortcomings in doing business, but in the management of Heyumen, I have my own set of methods, like me when I was young, with time and a little exercise, I must be qualified to be the master of the door." Sheng Feng picked up the teacup, "Come, please tea." ”

Zheng Cangqiong held the cup, but did not drink it, but looked at Sheng Feng's calm face: "I don't understand what you say, do you really plan to split Heyumen into two and become Heyumen and Heyumen?" I don't believe that no one, whether it's a country, a sect, or a family, wants to see a split. ”

Sheng Feng raised his eyes and said, "Split? I didn't say split. ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Sheng Feng put down the cup: "You can have two first workers in the Northeast Jade Casting Society, why can't Heyumen have two masters?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "The nature is different, the Jade Casting Society has a special situation of the Jade Casting Society, and you Heyumen does not have these prerequisites, there may be contradictions between the two first workers, let alone the two brothers?" Beware of the changes in the Xuanwu Gate. ”

"There is a contradiction ......in the first work," Sheng Feng grinned, "as I imagined." ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "Don't imagine, what is the relationship between Fan Meng and the two of them, and why did they come together, I believe you know very well, your sources are very wide, and you have always paid attention to the collection of relevant news, so you don't need to listen to anything from me at all, I am a retired person, and I am not a person from the Jade Casting Society, I am here, I am just worried about my apprentice, I hope that if there is any conflict, Brother Sheng can raise his noble hand, let him go, and don't worry about juniors." ”

"I raise my noble hand? I think you should have asked him to raise his noble hand! Sheng Feng's face sank suddenly, "Over the years, your apprentice's footprints have been all over the country, and there are news and stories about him everywhere, just less than a year ago, he also came to Changsha, and had a period of experience with the collector named Wanrong who is now being passed on by insiders, many disciples in my Heyumen even worship him a little, according to my speculation, within a year and a half, your apprentice will surpass you." ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "If I don't want him to surpass me, why should I accept him as an apprentice?" His own apprentice can't surpass himself, so his own vein is also going downhill. ”

Sheng Feng nodded: "Okay, are you here for this?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Cangqiong stood up, "I'm really here to keep an eye on you, if your people have bad intentions against my apprentice." Speaking of this, Zheng Cangqiong put on a hood, "I will definitely make you restless with the Yumen chicken dog!" We've known each other for so many years, you should know that as long as I can say it, I will definitely do it! ”

Sheng Feng got up calmly: "I have found out that the arrogance of your apprentice was learned from you. ”

Zheng Cangqiong said coldly: "Brother Sheng, only those with strength can be arrogant!" ”

With that, Zheng Cangqiong turned around and went out to put on his shoes, then jumped off the balcony, landed in the grass below, and soon disappeared into the night.

Sheng Feng turned his head slightly, and said towards the door: "Mu Feng, come in." ”

Tie Mufeng opened the door and entered, saw the open balcony door at a glance, immediately stepped forward, checked it on the balcony, and then used the walkie-talkie to order the bodyguards in the villa, and then returned: "Old man, are you okay?" ”

"I said nine deaths just now, do you believe it?" Sheng Feng was taken aback when he saw Tie Mufeng, and said, "The person who came is Zheng Cangqiong, the most famous court in the three eastern provinces, that is, the master of the punishment technique, one of the two first workers of the Jade Casting Society, both of them are the same arrogant and domineering, swaggering to my house, and saying that if something happens to his apprentice, he will make us uneasy in Heyumen!" ”

Tie Mufeng frowned: "Old man, he hasn't gone far now, do you want me to take someone to chase him?" ”

"Chasing?" Sheng Feng shook his head, "You are going to look for death, Zheng Cangqiong is not only a fox, but also a hunter among foxes, he dares to swagger and put down his cruel words and leave, do you think he is not prepared?" He will definitely calculate that I will send someone to chase him, and as soon as he chases, he will fall into his trap, he is a ruthless man! Let me tell you a story, a story from decades ago......"

Sheng Feng asked Tie Mufeng to sit down, he changed the teacup and poured tea, and said at the same time: "When there was ten years of turmoil, I forgot that it was the first few years, when everyone was in danger, for fear that they would suddenly be put on an inexplicable hat, there was no law at that time, it was all a small circle of trials, and lynching was used, but it was also a good time to collect strange things, I took advantage of those years to save a lot of belongings, if it weren't for the chaos of those years, there would be no current Heyu Group." I remember that it was winter, and I knew that the Shenyang Workers' Village, which is now the area of Tiexi District, was renamed ' at that time. Honggong District', there is a family heirloom in that family, there is a piece of Apocalypse jade, the reason why it is called Apocalypse Jade, because this piece of jade is a relic left by a craftsman before his death during the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, it is the most exquisite jade carved by this craftsman all his life, it is a square exquisite jade, very small, but it is hollow, it is a set of jade, very exquisite, I have seen relevant words in the previous literature, saying that it is ingenious and ......"

When Sheng Feng found the family in the workers' village, the backbone of the family, an old worker, was labeled as a capitalist roader, and the so-called rebels raided his home, searched and burned all the things he thought were related to capitalism, and asked him if he had anything else. The old worker gritted his teeth and didn't admit it, but someone knew that he had such a piece of jade in his house, so he imprisoned him and told him that if he didn't hand it over, he would be locked up forever.

Sheng Feng managed to find the old worker in the dark room and told him that as long as he gave the jade to himself, he would find a way to save his family. The old worker pondered for a long time, and finally agreed to him, telling him that the piece of jade was hidden in the mud under the honeycomb coal stove at home, and that there was an iron lunch box, and in the lunch box there was a small ebony box, and the piece of jade was contained in the box.

Sheng Feng touched it overnight and found the piece of jade there.

Sheng Feng let out a long sigh when he said this: "Where do I actually have a way to save their whole family?" The only way I could do it was to find a way to get him out of that house and escape with him, but in that big environment, you could run away everywhere. As a result, when I returned early in the morning, the old worker had committed suicide because he had been 'interrogated' overnight. Do you know how they interrogated? Hang the person on the beam of the house, put a rope around the neck, and put a gasoline drum under his feet, the gasoline barrel is full of ice, the edge of the barrel is sharp, you can't stand the soles of your feet stepping on the ice, you will subconsciously step on the edge, and then the soles of your feet will be cut, the blood will flow, and the blood will be frozen into ice cubes......"

Sheng Feng said this, his brows furrowed: "Believe me, no one can stand that kind of inhumane 'interrogation'!" The old worker couldn't bear it, and before dawn, when he was going to take him to criticize the fight, he found an opportunity to crash and die on a stone, which was not only a physical injury to him, but also a spiritual destruction. ”

Tie Mufeng frowned, he felt terrible just by hearing it, let alone seeing it with his own eyes.

Sheng Feng sighed: "I saw the corpse of the old worker, as well as the relatives who were suffering next to me, I regretted it, I regretted that I should have taken him to run first that night, it was more or less a life, but what I didn't expect was that what happened in the next week was even more terrifying." ”

Tie Mufeng immediately asked, "What do you mean Zheng Cangqiong did?" ”

"Yes, Zheng Cangqiong also knows that piece of jade, I have to admit that although he is arrogant, he will never take advantage of people's danger to take other people's beloved things, which is completely different from me. He had known the piece of jade for a long time, and he had been trying to save the old worker for a long time, but unfortunately he was also a step late, and the old worker once said that if he died, Zheng Cangqiong could take the piece of jade, but if he was killed, if Zheng Cangqiong took the jade, it would mean that Zheng Cangqiong wanted to help him take revenge. Sheng Feng said this and looked at Tie Mufeng, "In the next week, the group of miscellaneous people who participated in the interrogation of the old workers that night will either die or be maimed!" ”

Sheng Feng stretched out five fingers when he said this: "Of the five people that night, the one who came up with the idea fell into the ice cave and drowned, the one who led the one fell to death, and the remaining three, one had broken his hands, one broke his feet, and one had a broken spine on his back and was paralyzed. And it's all accidents, and it's done without any eyewitnesses. ”

Tie Mufeng gasped, thinking that he had to take someone to chase Zheng Cangqiong before, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Tie Mufeng immediately said, "But didn't you take the jade?" ”

"That's the problem." Sheng Feng said this, his hands were still a little trembling, "He is very well-informed, and his identity and status at that time did not reach the peak later, so, I don't know much about him, only know that there is such a person, and he knows me very well, although I am low-key enough, he easily found me, directly reached out and asked me for the piece of jade, and also said the promise between himself and the old worker, he gave me two choices, the first choice, you can take the jade, but you have to help the old worker avenge according to the promise, the second choice, It is to hand over the jade to him, who has already helped the old worker to avenge him. ”

Tie Mufeng was a little confused: "He has already taken revenge?" ”

"yes, so he actually gave me a choice." Sheng Feng's eyes seemed to appear in front of him again that night, when he saw Zheng Cangqiong in the broken house on the outskirts of the city, wearing ordinary workers' clothes and a cotton hat, Zheng Cangqiong, whose face was red from the cold, suddenly appeared in front of the bonfire, did not say any nonsense at all, and directly gave Sheng Feng those two choices.

Sheng Feng looked at Tie Mufeng and asked, "Do you know what I was doing at that time?" ”

Tie Mufeng smiled: "The old man must be dealing with him, right?" ”

"No, I'm terrified." Sheng Feng's face changed, he shook his head slightly, and said seriously, "I immediately made the decision to hand over the jade to him, and then sat down and looked at him with a smirk, but in my heart I was hoping that he would leave quickly, and that this demon who would definitely kill me would leave my eyes quickly, because my legs were weak and I couldn't move a single step!" ”

Tie Mufeng looked at Sheng Feng in surprise, he could tell from Sheng Feng's expression that this was not a lie, but the truth.
