Chapter 70: Mr. Yin's True Face
Mr. Yin smiled more and more cheerfully: "You, you, you and your husband are a natural match!" He asked me yesterday if I was Mr. Yin, and I didn't answer him. Today is that you guessed my identity, you two are so hard-working and smart, why can't you make it? Why bother staring at my unpopular cultured pearl technology and making a fuss about this? ”
Xie Siyun had already guessed it?!
I guessed that I didn't tell myself, this man was just too much.
Now, it was Chu Yue's turn to be a little embarrassed: "If there is a shortcut, who in the world wants to take a long road?" But don't get me wrong, we're not trying to threaten you with your identity. We will continue to keep it confidential for you, and we are grateful that you can help us in times of crisis. ”
Mr. Yin nodded: "I know you are kind." Your clever guess is not wrong, I ...... I once made a promise to a man not to let my cultured pearl technology reappear in the world. This technique once killed a kind person, so I buried it with her. ”
Mr. Yin's story is actually very simple.
He came from a pearl family in the South China Sea, and he was born surrounded by pearls.
His father was a big pearl in the South China Sea. Although the pearl industry in the South China Sea was not comparable to that of the East China Sea when he was born, he grew up listening to his father always say that if they wanted to revitalize the South China Sea, as long as they could create a method of cultivated pearls, they would definitely surpass the East China Sea, which had dominated the pearl industry for many years.
The pearl that can make them the South China Sea also shine in the palace.
What my father didn't do, he continued.
After his father's death, Mr. Yin had only one thing left in his life: to revitalize the pearl industry in the South China Sea and to create the technology of artificially cultivated pearl mussels.
So in his life, everyone and everything is in the service of this one thing, even the major events of his life.
He married a wife and a concubine, all for his sake. There was no emotion to speak of, and he even thought at one time that he was a person who didn't understand feelings.
So his backyard is also a miasma: the four concubines compete for favor, and the main house is cowardly and incompetent, almost becoming the laughing stock of the backyard of the entire Nanzhou City.
It wasn't until five years ago that he met his fifth concubine: her name was Niangniang, and she was a Huansha girl.
She was bought by the main room to take care of her, her mother's father died of illness, and her mother couldn't live with her disabled brother. She could only sell herself cheaply, and in her best years, she became the fifth concubine of the Yin family.
At the first sight of her, Mr. Yin suddenly understood the meaning of the word "love".
The lady has the best youth, and she also has the insight and courage to surpass a raccoon girl.
She became the only woman who could stand by Mr. Yin's side, accompanying him on a journey north and south to explore ways to cultivate pearls.
She even accompanied him to study the method of cultured pearls, and became the most important woman in his life.
But later, the mother died.
With the child in her womb, in order to keep Yin Ruteng's secret and the method of cultured pearls they jointly researched, he was killed by the main room, who he thought was cowardly and incompetent, together with several other concubines.
The mother used her and the child's life to tell Yin Ruteng: The most important thing in the world that he thought was the most important thing in the world was worthless after all!
So Yin Loteng swore to the tomb of his mother and child that he would completely seal the technology of cultured pearls, so that no one would lose their lives for it.
Then he abandoned his mansion and those who had done the wrong thing, and disappeared alone in the middle of nowhere.
He didn't even blame the people who killed his mother: he was always wrong from the beginning.
As a result, the technique of cultured pearls is tantamount to a mistake. If it weren't for the fact that there were still unfinished things, and there were children in this world who needed his teachings, he would probably have gone with his mother and children.
Sighing lightly, Mr. Yin's gaze became distant: "My mother married me, and she was innocent. In fact, I knew from the beginning that she didn't love me. She regarded me as her elder, and could even be said to be her master. She always had a loved one in her heart, and she was only committed to me for the sake of her mother and brother. It was only for the dream in her heart that she worshipped me as a god. ”
Tears slipped down the furrows of his cheeks.
The dirt that fell into the soles of his feet buried the painful past: "But I love her." I was willing to give her everything I had, but I didn't expect it to cost her her life. If there is an afterlife, I only hope that she can fly freely, and she will not meet a bad old man like me who harms people's lives, which can be regarded as her beauty. ”
How much pain does it have to go through to say such open-minded words?
Chu Yue also lowered her eyes, really sorry for her mother: "I'm sorry." I didn't think there was such a story behind this. It turns out that it's more than just technology for you. It's no wonder you've never shown up all these years. ”
"Sir, no!"
Just as they were talking, the housekeeper old woman ran in from outside in a bit of a shock: "The second prince's people are here!" ”
Chu Yue has lived here for a few days, and all she has seen is this old woman's calm appearance, and she has never seen her so gaffe.
Second prince?
Chu Yue stood up, and suddenly thought that in the street market that day, wasn't it the general under the second prince of Penglai that they provoked?
But Yin Ruteng stood up unhurriedly, although his face sank, he was still calm: "What are they doing?" ”
"Hahaha, naturally I'm here to ask for someone! Mr. Yin, don't come unharmed! ”
A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Chu Yue turned his head, and really saw the generals with swords and swords, and the soldiers with armed forces behind him.
He didn't wear Penglai's military uniform, but instead wore Yeguo's military uniform, and even judging from the uniform of the people behind him, he used the city guard army of Nanzhou City.
A Penglai general can actually use the city guard army of Nanzhou City, if he wants to drive the Penglai people into the Ye country in the future, wouldn't it be easy for them to come easily? !
Even Mr. Yin was furious, stood up and glared at the general: "General Shui, is this going to break into a private house?!" ”
Shui Haotian waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers behind him to retreat farther away, and then he smiled and said, "You are not a private house here, are you?" If I'm not mistaken, this is the house that our Second Highness bought, but I just let your family live in it first. Shouldn't you be grateful to us for not gossiping about you and even helping you hide your identity from outsiders? ”
The house where the largest salt merchant in Nanzhou City lives turned out to be the property of the second prince of Penglai?!
This is simply ridiculous!
Obviously, Yin Ruteng also knew about this matter for a long time.
He just looked at the water general coldly: "One yard is one yard, and I also know the purpose of your coming today." It's just five thousand taels of silver, and you have to bet with others. If you can't afford to lose, you will come to arrest people, and if you really think that this Nanzhou City has become your Penglai's territory!? ”
General Shui was not annoyed, but just sat down casually as if he were at home, looked at Chu Yue, and raised his chin at Chu Yue: "Is it fun to hide here?" Anyway, how do you want to die? ”
provoked such a Buddha, and now that Xie Siyun is sick again, he will really pick a time to come to the door!
Seeing that Yin Ruteng was about to stand up for himself again, Chu Yue stopped him.
Instead, he walked up to Shui Haotian: "I'm afraid we said it, right?" The general said, how do you want us to die? ”
"Boom-"
The long knife came out of its sheath and rested on Chu Yue's neck: "I don't want you to die too cheaply." ”
The cold blade made the hairs on Hatsuki's back stand on end.
But how could she show weakness in front of such people?
Even if you bite the bullet, you have to straighten your chest: "This is the general's final say, the general will talk about it!" ”
Shui Haotian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was impressed by the early moon: "I didn't expect it." When the woman next to me met me, she was scared and scared to the point that her legs were weak and begged for mercy, but you are a hard bone! It's a pity, it's the wife of this unsuccessful Ye countryman, otherwise it would be a good thing to take you to my house to be a slave. ”
Nausea, want to throw up.
Chu Yue sneered: "If I want to go to your mansion to be a slave, it is better to dismantle me!" ”
"A presumptuous woman, I don't know what to do!"
The knife in his hand cut a bloody mark on Chu Yue's neck, accompanied by his increasingly fierce voice: "Since you said so, I want to bring you into my mansion and make you a tortured slave!" Let everyone in my house be able to take you as a slave! ”
Perverted?
Chu Yue rolled her eyes because of the pain: "Are you idle and have nothing to do?" Is it so easy to be a general in your Penglai? I actually have time to bring the army of Ye Country to my Ye Country people's house and play prestige with a weak Ye Country woman? If you Penglai's general is so good, you can also introduce me to a good profession, and let me play majestic! ”
Chu Yue's words are already extremely ironic.
But it also completely angered Shui Haotian: "You are looking for death!" ”
Chu Yue was not afraid at all, looked at Shui Haotian with wide eyes, and even stepped forward: "Come, you have the ability to kill me in front of so many people." I'm going to be a ghost even if I'm dead, how do you explain to you Penglai people why you are wearing the military uniform of Ye Kingdom! How can you explain to the people of Ye Guo that you, a Penglai person, can actually mobilize the army of Ye Guo to kill my little woman. ”
She moved forward step by step, not afraid of the pain in her neck: "You are used to being domineering in Nanzhou City, so naturally you are not afraid of anything." But I'm not afraid of you, my big deal is death, but you are riddled with lawsuits. I'm also a famous person under the rule of Ye Guo, you are a general of Penglai, what reason do you have to die?! ”
