Chapter XXVII
Huo Zuo grabbed the young man's shoulder, thought about it for a long time, and only said, "You......"
There was only a sigh of regret in his tone.
At that time, Huo Zuo vaguely felt that even if he didn't have this hatred, didn't have those pasts, and didn't have himself, the young man in front of him would one day be able to make a name for himself.
Shen Yigong has a strength in his heart, this strength can be seen from the very beginning Huo Zuo, at that time the man thought he was ruthless, and later found that he was kind in his heart, and in the end it was only due to a "tenacity", but now Huo Zuo feels that he is not just "tough", but what is it?
He couldn't understand it. In the past 30 years of life, all he has seen is fighting and betraying, fighting for me, grinning like animals in this Colosseum. He can do whatever it takes to achieve his own goals, even if it's a stepping stone with someone else's life, bordering on cruelty and without compassion β but what about him?
At that time, he felt that he was a wolf, a dog, a beast who was willing to lower himself and fight desperately, so he wanted to leave people behind and use them as pawns and guns to take advantage of. But now?
This is not the first time that this question has haunted Huo Zuo's heart. But even this time no new answer could be found. When they parted that day, Huo Zuo told Shen Yigong not to come to see him again until the farmers' market was built and Qin Shengzhu's bank was opened. Asked where he lived now, the boy smiled shyly.
"I'm still living at home."
"At home?"
"Yes. Huo House. β
After hearing this, Huo Zuo's expression was subtle and stunned, but after reacting, he still smiled, waved his hand to say goodbye to him, and said, "I will go to you again." β
Shen Yigong stood at the intersection and looked at him obsessively, and his figure gradually disappeared. This time there is no more chasing, and there is no need to chase again. Because he knew that this time - the master would come back to him.
After Shen Yigong arrogantly moved back to Huo's house, the interior furnishings remained unchanged from the original, Qin Shengzhu specially made a tablet for Huo Zuo and sent it, and put it together with Huo Congyi's statue. Shen Yigong is unlucky, as long as Qin Shengzhu doesn't come on weekdays, he will put it away.
As soon as he said goodbye to "Boss Chu" that day, Shen Yigong became busy with the market and factory affairs. Even with the help of You Yiman and Cheng Changyu, it is still indispensable to use their own brains. As soon as you get busy, the days go by very quickly, and you are busy, like a whole summer in the blink of an eye. As for the threat of being threatened by Miss Mingyue in the Qin Mansion, I don't know where Shen Yigong forgot about it.
When he finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief, he had changed into a thin and breathable linen shirt. Shen Yigong also took off his short coat early and put on a long shirt.
Just after the beginning of summer on this day, because Cheng Changyu said that he was going to bring his girlfriend Jin Xiaoxu to visit, Shen Yigong took Aunt Wu's son Wu Dayong to the field and picked up a few watermelons. The construction of the farmers' market is in full swing, and the newly built East District has been put into use. The funds continued to converge at a visible speed, which was good news for either Shen Yigong or Qin Shengzhu.
Shen Yigong took Wu Dayong and the two of them to walk back with watermelons in their arms, and when they walked to the door, they saw a girl standing in front of the steps of the Huo Mansion with a parasol. Wu Dayong was reckless and smiled at Shen: "Big brother, there is a girl in front of the door, is she looking for you?" β
Shen Yigong doesn't ask for such a glamorous blessing. When I got closer, it was the eldest lady of the Qin family. He suddenly felt a little headache, and hurriedly turned around and stuffed the watermelon to Wu Dayong, and stepped forward himself.
"Miss, why are you here?"
Qin Mingyue narrowed her eyes: "I said that I would find evidence." β
Shen Yigong was helpless at first glance, even if she found evidence, how could it be true? She ran back and forth for Huo Zuo's death, but in the final analysis, that person was fine at all. However, of course, this cannot be explained to the eldest lady.
"Okay, Miss, what is the evidence you found?"
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered, and she took a deep breath and forced her tears back again: "You still don't admit it to me, do you?" Do you think you'll get away with it? Do you have to take it out before you kneel down and admit your mistake? β
"Miss, although I am also a hooligan in doing things, in the final analysis, I am not an ungrateful person. You are the daughter of the old man, and you are the eldest lady, so I will not worry about anything with you. But if you say that I deceived my teacher and destroyed my ancestors, then it is a bit too much. β
"Ever? Compared to you, the guy who voted for his master just after his master's death, have I 'passed'? β
"Miss, my master was originally your father's disciple, why do they look like enemies to you? Originally, my master died, and it was reasonable for me to go to find his old timers who originally worshipped the door. Shen Yigong straightened up and replied, "I don't understand where your anger comes from, Shen Mou is right, you slapped me at the beginning, I didn't care about you, I deserved it." As for whether the evidence is evidence or not, you weigh it yourself, I haven't done anything, so I'm not afraid that your so-called evidence will involve me. β
"Don't talk to me here, tell me these things, some or not. You know, you know for sure. My dad, what he did to Brother Zuo, you-"
"What does the eldest lady want to say?"
Shen Yigong's forced question made Qin Mingyue's eyes retreat half a point of indignation, and he turned to question: "...... You don't really know? β
"Miss, I can swear to God here, I really haven't heard anything about what happened between your master and my master."
"What about my dad and Ma Weisan?"
"What can Inspector Ma have to do with Master Qin? Didn't they just give birth to a mustard because of what happened a year ago? β
She pursed her lips and froze for a moment. He said to himself, "No...... No, you can't be unaware. What if you don't know what went wrong? Who else but you? β
ββ¦β¦ Miss? β
Qin Mingyue suddenly reacted: "By the way, there is also Uncle Zhou." Clearly...... He's gone, too. β
Shen Yigong could only continue to pretend to be stupid with her: "You said it was Mr. Zhou?" And what does he have to do with this? β
"What a fool you are, Shen Yigong! What a fool you are! You have to be smart, your master won't be beaten to death! Qin Mingyue was so angry that she stomped her feet, completely forgetting how aggressive she was, so she took his hand and ran out along the road.
This time Wu Dayong was stunned, and he was at a loss and hugged three big watermelons and shouted behind him: "Big brother!" What to do with this watermelon! β
Shen Yigong had no choice but to turn back: "You go in first and invite Mr. Cheng and Miss Jin to eat!" I'll go back as soon as I go! β
Qin Mingyue dragged Shen Yigong all the way out of the alley with a pair of small leather shoes, and called a taxi to go to Hubei Women's High School. Shen Yigong asked her to pull her into the car, and asked avoidantly, "Miss, where are you taking me there?" β
"Don't ask, I'll take you to see something, you'll know when you arrive." Qin Mingyue put away the umbrella and pointed it at him, "Shen Yigong, I see that your eyes didn't deceive me, if you are sincere to your master, if he is killed, do you want to take revenge!" β
Shen Yigong looked at him but sighed lightly and said: "My master committed suicide in prison, as early as when I entered the industry, he said that if you accumulate too many debts in your hands, you will eat the bitter fruits sooner or later." β
"Not really! Brother Azuo is not like this! Qin Mingyue interrupted him, grabbed his sleeve and said hurriedly, "He was killed by someone." There was no suicide in prison at all, and the fire was not gratuitous. It was all planned by someone to kill him. β
The more excited and uncomfortable she was, the greater the doubts in Shen Yigong's heart. How did Qin Mingyue know? Qin Shengzhu is trapped? If she knew...... So, is it available or not?
Shen Yigong had to press her shoulder first to soothe, "Miss, don't cry and don't get excited." Tell me what the hell is going on? β
Qin Mingyue's tears kept falling like beads with broken threads. She sobbed and said intermittently, "My dad...... My dad...... He did it, he killed Brother Zuo...... Just like he did when he killed Uncle Huo...... My dad is a bad guy ......."
The taxi arrived quickly, and Shen Yigong paid the fare for Miss Qin and walked briskly into the campus with her. The sky was about to darken, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the uncle at the school gate didn't stop Miss Qin when he saw him. Qin Mingyue wiped away her tears and continued to run towards the depths of the campus with Shen Yigong. Thankfully, it was the weekend, and there was no one at the school, so they didn't let anyone suspect them in such a hurry.
Finally, they stopped by the small lake and pond in the school, Qin Mingyue pointed to a stone not far away and said to Shen Yigong, "You go and move the stone away, there is something I hid underneath." β
Having arrived here, Shen Yigong didn't know whether to say that Miss Qin was naΓ―ve or brave, so he could only step forward and move the stone she said away. With a slight light, Shen Yigong saw that there was a package hidden underneath.
"It's ......"
"Take it out." Qin Mingyue had already walked to his side. Shen Yigong could only unwrap the wrapped cloth little by little, and the weight and shape of the package gradually made him feel a little familiar. When the gauze was removed, it was hidden a gunβthe official French pistol used by Ma Weisan.
He was surprised, and asked Miss Qin in a low voice, "Where did you get this thing?" β
Qin Mingyue bit her lip: "You should go and ask my father, where did he get this thing." I asked my classmate, and he said that this gun was only worn by the inspector of the patrol room. What other detective could I know with my dad? It was this gun that killed Brother Azuo in the first place, and that fire was just to destroy evidence. β
Shen Yigong hurriedly wrapped the gun again, and said hurriedly: "Miss, don't talk nonsense!" How could Master Qin attack my master? β
Qin Mingyue was also completely anxious when she heard this: "Shen Yigong, are you a man or not!" Are you Brother Azuo's apprentice, why don't you care at all when something happens to him, and you're not in a hurry at all! As he spoke, he was about to raise his hand and punch him, almost crying again. Shen Yigong raised his hand and grabbed her slender wrist and persuaded, "Miss! Calm down! Even if your father had this gun, it would ......"
"So what more? Why don't you want to think about why Brother Azuo was suddenly arrested by the patrol room? Why don't you think it's strange that he is so proud of a person who committed suicide in prison! He's not someone who will commit suicide, Shen Yigong...... I know he's not! Saying that, Qin Mingyue was almost about to cry again, took a deep breath, and the girl covered her face and squatted down, "Do you think I haven't wavered...... On the one hand, my father, on the other, on the other hand, is my favorite brother Zuo! β
But it's all true.
For Qin Mingyue, the saddest thing is that Huo Zuo's is indeed dead, the person who designed Huo Zuo's death is her father, and the person who wants to hide everything and destroy it with fire is also her father.
