As Shen Jinghong said, Shen Nanjun made his fortune by relying on ruthlessness and bravery, and when it came to wisdom, he was much worse than Shen Jinghong, Luo Chengbiao and others, and he coveted the territory of the Kowloon Walled City, so he agreed to Shen Jinghong's woo without thinking about it.

Chapter 181 Shocking Past 1

Shen Jinghong's countermeasures are basically the same as Liu Bei teaming up with Sun Ce to deal with Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms, but unlike the Three Kingdoms, the difference in strength between Shen Jinghong, Luo Chengbiao and Shen Nanjun is not large, and if any two parties join forces to attack the third party, the third party will definitely lose.

Shen Nanjun is not a fool, he saw this and agreed to Shen Jinghong's woo so readily.

And another more important factor is that Luo Chengbiao has now colluded with Chen Bingrun, and Shen Jinghong also has Qin Haoran's support, leaving Shen Nanjun alone to fight, so he is eager to find a partner, so as not to become the prey of Shen Jinghong or Luo Chengbiao.

Qin Haoran said to Shen Jinghong: "Don't say that I don't remind you, Shen Nanjun is brave and unscrupulous, so it is easy to shake his position, you can bring him over, Luo Chengbiao can also pull him over, so you have to be careful, it is best to completely tie Shen Nanjun to your chariot." ”

"I naturally know this, and I don't need you to remind me." Shen Jinghong glared at Qin Haoran, she just hated Qin Haoran's self-confidence, in front of him, it seemed that she couldn't hide any thoughts from him.

While speaking, Qin Haoran and the others came to Shen Jinghong's residence.

Shen Jinghong's residence is on Prince Edward Road outside the Kowloon Walled City, it is an antique mansion, the spacious front yard is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, the walls of the house are mainly white, which looks simple and generous, and the west wall is also crawling with vines and plants, which looks lush and lush.

The front door of this big house with strong Chinese style is still the kind of Xiguan big house-style wooden fence, and the stone volt in front of the door is also relatively high.

There is also a special front hall in the house, and there is a shrine platform on the east wall, on which a statue of Guan Gong is enshrined.

After the front hall to the inner hall, the interior decoration is also full of traditional Chinese style, such as the Eight Immortals Table, Taishi Chair, Acid Branch Bookshelves, Blue and White Porcelain, Ink Paintings, Line-bound Books and so on.

As soon as he walked in, Qin Haoran felt as if he had walked into an ancient mansion.

"Let me talk to Boss Qin alone for a while, Ah Hu, you go out first." After walking into the house, Shen Jinghong said to Wang Hu behind him.

Wang Hu paused, frowned and looked at Qin Haoran, as if he was very worried about letting Shen Jinghong face him alone.

Shen Jinghong smiled: "Go ahead, are you still afraid that Boss Qin will be unfavorable to me?" ”

Since Shen Jinghong said so, Wang Hu couldn't disobey the order, so he nodded and withdrew.

Then Shen Jinghong looked at Qin Mastiff and Cheng Niu'er behind Qin Haoran, Qin Haoran glanced at them, and Cheng Niu'er took Qin Mastiff out.

"Please be seated." Shen Jinghong smiled at Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran was not polite, so he sat on the Taishi chair made of pear blossom wood in the living room, and carefully admired the antique decorations in this house.

He is a knowledgeable person, and he can naturally see that the ceramic calligraphy and paintings in this house are genuine, let alone put in the 21st century, even in this era, it is a valuable traditional Chinese artwork.

I also saw a shrine platform on the west side of the living room, on which there was a black-and-white photograph of a man in his fifties with a kind face.

Qin Haoran frowned, if he guessed correctly, this man should be

The original family member of "Heshengtang" is Shen Jinghong's deceased husband - Chen Dehui.

The photograph and the shrine are spotless, and the fruit offerings on the table are also very fresh, apparently often taken care of.

Soon, I saw Shen Jinghong, who had changed into a light green short-bodied cheongsam, walking in from the door over there, his slender and thick hair was also pulled into a high bun, and he was still holding tea in his hand.

"It's not as luxurious as your home, don't be surprised." Shen Jinghong came to Qin Haoran and put down the tea, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Haoran also smiled: "Don't laugh at me, if your house is sold, the money from the sale will be enough to buy ten units like mine." Your living environment here is tasteful, let's just say that the two huanghuali trees in your yard are worth a lot of money. ”

"It was planted by my husband when he was alive." Shen Jinghong said with a smile: "Come, try this tea, although it is not a precious tea, it is a high-grade Pu'er that my husband brought back from Yunnan many years ago, and it tastes very good." ”

Qin Haoran smiled and took a sip, his intuition was full of fragrant fragrance, and he said: "Mr. Chen is a person who knows how to enjoy it, this kind of life can only be lived by outsiders in the past." ”

Shen Jinghong smiled and didn't speak, went to Chen Dehui's shrine again, picked up three Buddha incense, lit them with matches, and then bowed three times reverently before carefully inserting them into the incense burner.

Looking at Shen Jinghong's back of earnestly worshipping Chen Dehui, Qin Haoran felt uncomfortable somehow in his heart.

At this time, I saw Shen Jinghong turn around, and a rare trace of sadness appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and I only heard her say quietly: "Today is his death day, well, it has been five years since he passed away." ”

Qin Haoran didn't speak, just quietly listened to Shen Jinghong's words.

The room is lit with sandalwood, and there is a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and at the same time makes the room seem very quiet.

Shen Jinghong came to the Taishi chair next to Qin Haoran and sat down, looked at the statue of Chen Dehui on the altar in the distance, and said: "Although you are not treated well in the Qin family, after all, you were born with a golden key, and you must have lived a life of fine clothes and jade food when you were a child." ”

Regarding Second Young Master Qin's childhood life, Qin Haoran didn't know anything about it, but judging from the situation of his Qin family, Second Young Master Qin's life when he was a child was not luxurious, but he was finally free of food and clothing.

"I am the daughter of a fisherman, my parents are fishermen, and my grandfather and grandfather both made a living from fishing." Shen Jinghong said with a smile.

Qin Haoran was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jinghong, he didn't expect that the noble, generous, decisive and capable Shen Jinghong would be born as a fisherman, after all, the current Shen Jinghong does not have the slightest shadow of a fisherman's daughter.

I heard Shen Jinghong continue: "Our family is very poor, and we don't even have money to buy rice, and we basically eat the sea fish we caught three times a day, and we have to eat it until you get tired and nauseous, because if we don't eat sea fish, we have nothing else to eat." Since I was three years old, I had to help my family, and even if I couldn't help with fishing, I had to take care of my younger siblings and help my parents remove the fish they caught. ”

Speaking of this, she opened her left hand, and Qin Haoran also saw that there was a faint scar on the palm of her left hand.

"Once, when I was descaling those sea fish, I accidentally got a knife on my hand." Shen Jinghong said expressionlessly: "That knife cuts very deeply, if you use more force, half of the palm will be removed." And it was winter, and the sea was freezing and salty, and when it touched the wound, it hurt so much that people wanted to die. At that time, we didn't have the money to see a doctor, so my mother used fishing thread to help me sew up the wounds. ”

Shen Jinghong's childhood experience really surprised Qin Haoran, and his own childhood was also bleak and cruel, so he could understand Shen Jinghong's bitterness.

"So I swore then that I would leave the fishing boat without hesitation whenever I had the chance, and that I would not get up at four or five o'clock to scrape the scales, and that I would not eat that disgusting fish again!" Shen Jinghong's expression became a little cold.

Qin Haoran felt the same and remembered

In his "previous life", after killing a pack of wild dogs and snatching a few bones, he vowed to God that he would become a master in the future, eat the best things, and live in the best house.

In a moment of thought, Shen Jinghong continued: "But God's way of letting me leave the fishing family is too cruel. When I was thirteen years old, my family's fishing boat was caught in a storm when we went out to fish, and the whole fishing boat was shattered by the waves, and my parents, younger siblings were swept away by the waves. I drifted at sea for two days and two nights before I was rescued. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Jinghong looked at Qin Haoran and showed a smile: "Do you know who the person who saved me is?" ”

"It's Chen Dehui, right?" Qin Haoran shrugged.

"That's right, my husband is the one who saved me." Shen Jinghong said with a smile: "He happened to finish negotiating business in Thailand at that time and then took a boat back to Hong Kong, and when he saw me at sea, he rescued me." ”

Listening to Shen Jinghong say this, she met Chen Dehui when she was thirteen years old, and Chen Dehui should have been forty years old at that time.

Thinking that Shen Jinghong might have married Chen Dehui, who was thirty years older than her, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Qin Haoran felt an inexplicable sense of irritability in his heart.

Shen Jinghong's soft voice came from his ears again: "At that time, 'Heshengtang' had just developed, and it was one of the larger halls in the Kowloon Walled City, so my husband's conditions were not bad. He was also very good to me, I ate and dressed the best, and I also saw the prosperity of the city. ”

"So you're going to marry him?" Qin Haoran couldn't help but ask.

Shen Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Haoran's gaze with a little doubt, but she still said: "Yes, since my family is gone, he is the best person for me in this world, and he was not married at that time, why can't I marry him?" ”

Qin Haoran was speechless for a while, indeed, this is a matter of two people, and he has no right to ask.

"I married him when I was twenty years old, when he had just turned fifty." Shen Jinghong's expression was a little complicated.

I don't know why, when he thinks of Shen Jinghong and Chen Dehui, the old husband and young wife, Qin Haoran couldn't help but snort coldly.

Shen Jinghong didn't seem to hear Qin Haoran's cold snort, and said, "And when I was twenty-five years old, he died. Qin Haoran, do you know how he died? ”

"How did you die?" Qin Haoran said lightly.

"He was beaten to death with a wooden stick!" Shen Jinghong narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes, and his flat voice was full of resentment: "It was the 'Crab King' Chen Bingrun who did it!" ”

Chapter 182 Shocking Past 2

Qin Haoran's eyebrows raised, in fact, there have been rumors on the road for a long time

Chen Dehui, the original master of "Heshengtang", was been

"King Crab" Chen Bingrun was killed. But after all, it was just a rumor on the underworld, and no one had definite evidence that Chen Bingrun was the murderer of Chen Dehui.

But now with Shen Jinghong's confirmation, it is different, judging from the unforgettable hatred in Shen Jinghong's eyes, Chen Bingrun is indeed the culprit who killed Chen Dehui.
