Chapter XXIV

It's been a long time. It was another year of Chinese New Year's Eve, which should have been a family reunion and a day to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, but this was not the case in the Tong family. The gloom was shrouded, and there was no half-happy atmosphere. It has been half a month since the last time I went to the 14th Organization to visit Tong Mingyuan, and in the past half a month, Tong Zheng has been anxious, but he is helpless. Liu Chang is the same, he asked someone to inquire about the news, but there was still no movement.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Chang went to Tong's house. Hearing that Liu Chang was coming, Tong Zheng thought that he had brought good news, but Liu Chang was still sad, and only shook his head at Tong Zheng. After thinking about it for more than half a month, Tong Zheng understood that Tong Mingyu came to the Tong family against him, so he also gave up his face and life, and he also wanted to save these three people. So he informed Liu Chang of his plan. I saw Liu Chang's face shocked, he couldn't believe it, and Liu Chang had no choice but to agree. After speaking, Liu Chang was entangled in going home to prepare, and as soon as he arrived home, he won the good news, Wang Yuwan and Wang Fugui had returned home, and the housekeeper had asked a doctor to treat them. Liu Chang was a little surprised, he and Tong Zheng hadn't started to act yet, why did Wang Yuwan and Wang Fugui come back? Fortunately, Wang Yuwan was still lightly injured and her consciousness was still clear, so she told Liu Chang what happened.

In the middle of the night, Liu Chang's housekeeper came to Tong's house and said to Tong Zheng: "Master Tong, my master sent me to tell you that the Wang family sister and brother have returned, but your son-in-law ......."

Tong Zheng was very anxious, a bad thought rose in his heart, and said, "Is something wrong with Mingyuan?" ”

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Miss Wang said that it was because Young Master Tong himself was guilty." After hearing the news, it was like a thunderbolt on Tong Zheng, and his heart was half cold, Tong Zheng had long expected that Tong Mingyu would force Tong Mingyuan to do this, but why not wait for himself to act, this is his only son, but he will also be separated from himself. Tong Zheng only felt that his eyes were dark, and he didn't feel anything.

When he woke up again, he saw everyone gathered in front of him, Mrs. Tong and Yin Cheng were in tears, and Tong Zheng instantly understood that Tong Mingyuan was convicted. Tong Zheng asked cautiously, "Madam, Mingyuan him,"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Tong couldn't help but be sad, burst into tears again, and couldn't speak, Yin Cheng endured her grief and said, "Dad, just posted a notice, Mingyuan will be shot tomorrow." ”

Tong Zheng laughed after hearing this, unusually, and said, "Madam, Cheng'er, since the notices have been posted, let's go see Mingyuan, and we should send him on his last journey." ”

Mrs. Tong and Yin Cheng nodded, and Tong Zheng turned his head away, secretly sad. Mrs. Tong and Yin Cheng also went out to take care of the things they might use. Tong Zheng cried alone for a while, then struggled to get up, accompanied by Mrs. Tong and Yin Cheng, and went to the prison together.

Inside the prison, it was gloomy and cold. Tong Mingyuan leaned against the wall in thin clothes, looking at the small window and thinking. After the cell door opened, Mrs. Tong quickly rushed to Tong Mingyuan's side, hugged him and cried. Tong Mingyuan was calm, but comforted Mrs. Tong. Tong Mingyuan hugged Mrs. Tong's eyes but looked at Yin Cheng, and said, "Cheng'er, I haven't been able to treat you well in this life, and I will compensate you in the next life." ”

Tong Zheng said: "Cheng'er, you take your wife back first, I have something to tell Mingyuan." ”

Yin Cheng nodded and took Mrs. Tong away, leaving Tong Zheng and Tong Mingyuan. Tong Mingyuan looked at Tong Zheng and said, "Dad, I'm sorry." ”

Tong Zheng shook his head and said, "Mingyuan, Dad understands your mind, Dad doesn't blame you." Daddy will definitely find a way to get you out. You are my son of Tong Zheng, how can you die so easily? Then, a miserable scream resounded throughout the prison.

On the second day, the door of the Tong family was closed, and Tong Zheng ordered no one to go to the court. Tong Zheng only declared to the outside world that since he was a person who betrayed the country, the Tong family would never admit it. But under the bitter begging of Mrs. Tong and Yin Cheng, Tong Zheng had no choice but to agree to hold a funeral for Tong Mingyuan. Is it his own son, or is he reluctant to let his son not be able to look at him after he dies.

At the funeral, Tong Zheng, Mrs. Tong, and Yin Cheng were sad. Return to the due number of courtesies. The housekeeper suddenly said, "Tong Mingyu has arrived." ”

Yin Cheng looked at him fiercely, Mrs. Tong ignored her manners, rushed up and slapped her, and said, "Tong Mingyu, I have a clear conscience about you all these years, but why did you harm Mingyuan to such a degree?" ”

Tong Mingyu smiled slightly, ignored Mrs. Tong, and did not answer her question, but said to Tong Zheng: "General Tong, is this the etiquette of your family to treat guests?" ”

Tong Zheng said: "Cheng'er, accompany your mother to the backyard for a while." Chief Tong, can I move, I have something to say to you. ”

With that, he and Tong Mingyu went to the flower hall in the front yard. In the flower hall, although it is a cold winter, it is warm as spring. Tong Mingyu and Tong Zheng sat down separately, Tong Mingyu took a sip of tea and said, "General Tong, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Tong Zheng smiled and said, "Where is there anything to say." It's just that I want to talk to you. ”

"Oh? Didn't General Tong hate me for killing Tong Mingyuan? Tong Mingyu put down the teacup in his hand and said: "General Tong, when you saw the gun fired by Tong Mingyuan that day, I understand what you mean, I still understand the feeling that I don't want your son to be killed outside." I don't know, I helped General Tong hide this matter, how does General Tong want to thank me? ”

Tong Zheng thought about it and didn't open his mouth to answer his question. Listening to the sound of crying outside the flower hall, it hit Tong Zheng's heart like a whip, Tong Zheng's hand trembled slightly, and Tong Mingyu said: "General Tong, your son is gone, you still have a grandson." I heard that the young lady has been pregnant for more than four months? General Tong, look at your blessing, which others can compare? Right. After speaking, Tong Mingyu was about to walk out of the flower hall.

"Wait, Chief Tong, there's a question, I haven't been able to understand, how did Mingyuan admit this crime?"

Tong Mingyu smiled slyly, leaned close to Tong Zheng's ear, and said, "This is a secret, how can I tell others casually!" I thought that Tong Zheng would be angry, but Tong Zheng knelt in front of Tong Mingyu and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you all these years, I just hope that you will just come at me with all your anger and help Mingyuan clear this charge." As a father, I naturally don't want anyone to scold Mingyuan and our Tong family in the future. ”

Tong Mingyu helped Tong Zheng up from the ground and said, "General Tong, since the matter has been decided, why do you bother to be persistent?" I can't afford your gift. With that, he turned around and left. I only heard: Tong Mingyu, you refuse to let go of the Tong family, you refuse to let go of Mingyuan, that is, you have a ghost in your heart, and you hope that someone will be the scapegoat for you. I, Tong Zheng, swore that I would find the murderer who framed my son, and let him taste what it was like to be shot.

At this time, the back door of the flower hall opened.
