Chapter 27: The Position of the Head of the Family
Mu Ningjiu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly: "Huh? Going to the countryside? So suddenly...... "I wanted to ask him about this matter."
"Well, he didn't say much, just let me have a case to pass the book on, and he came back immediately." Shang Jin paused and said,
Although he didn't say it on his face, he was actually robbed by the Yude faction, and this was the first time. Coupled with the case a few days ago, the murderer has not been caught, and he should be quite depressed. ”
"After all, he is the left judge of the entire Yu country." Mu Ningjiu sighed, and then said:
"Then let's focus on the Yude faction's every move now, and it's best to arrange a few people to enter the interior and have a deeper understanding of the situation."
"Let me go!" Ye released a voice,
"I'll do the inner workings." Shang Jin frowned and said:
"Xiao Shi, if the Yude faction really has something, the ability they have is not something you can deal with, and you can't let you go alone."
Mu Ningjiu pondered for a while, and said lightly:
"If you really want to go, you must let me and Ah Jin follow."
"Okay, no problem." Ye Shi agreed, and Shen Wan added:
"They are very cunning, you have to be careful, at the critical moment, the empty ring in your hand will come in handy, and you must retreat with your whole body." Beigong Han nodded in agreement.
"Ning Jiu, you have to take care." Yu Chixuan also said.
"Well, I know, don't worry, Wei Chi." Mu Ningjiu blinked and looked out the window:
"Shen Wan, Beigong, Ah Jin and I still have some personal matters to do, so I may not be able to accompany you to visit this acropolis. Xiao Shi, if you are free, take them around the city, you are better! She patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, no problem!" Ye Shi nodded, "Then gather here tomorrow and go to Tiger Roaring Xuan together." ”
"It's a deal."
……
As soon as the two returned to Shangfu, Shang Jin immediately went to the study to talk to Shang Heng. Mu Ning Jiubai was bored reading in his room, wandering outside the door in a hurry, Mu Ning Jiu looked over, the person's eyes just turned around, his eyes were happy, and he said tentatively:
"Excuse me, does Lord Zuo live here?"
……
Shangfu Study.
"You're looking for me?" Shang Jin walked in quickly and lay straight on a soft collapse in front of the table.
Shang Heng raised his eyes when he heard the sound, saw the person coming, and said softly:
"Jin'er, although you are not my biological son, I thought about it and decided to let you sit in the position of the head of the family." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a piece of gold from the dark grid, on which was delicately carved the word "Shang" in oracle bone inscription. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and listened to Shang Heng again:
"Your eldest brother is too impetuous, and it is difficult for him to become a big man. But you are different, you have hidden your true self for so many years with your external cynicism, but you are secretly keeping your head in obscurity. This kind of bearing is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. ”
"But aren't you afraid, after I become the head of the family, I will ruin Shang Haozhi?" Shang Jin said slowly, word by word,
"After all, he once had ill intentions towards my wife, even if it was a thousand cuts, it would not be an exaggeration." Shang Heng was frightened by the fierceness in his eyes, and suddenly hesitated a little, whether he should give the position of head of the family to an outsider. And this outsider is not only not simple, but also has some new and old hatreds with his own son...... Seeing that he didn't speak, Shang Jin got up and said lightly:
"Since you're still hesitating, let's think about it, I'll go first."
"Wait!" When Shang Jin heard this, his footsteps paused.
"Take this token that symbolizes the position of the head of the family." Shang Heng paused and said:
"If so...... I admit that Miss Mu is the future wife of the head of the house, after you become the head of the house, can you spare Shang Haozhi? ”
Shang Jin squinted as if he had heard some big joke, and sneered:
"Don't make a mistake, whether Mu Ningjiu is my wife or not is not up to you. I said yes, she was, and that never changed. Also, I don't have a rare position as the head of the family at all, and I still feel cumbersome if you give it to me. Shang Heng frowned, his fists under his sleeves clenched slightly, and he said:
"I can ask the queen to ask the emperor for a marriage, so that you can welcome her into the Shang Mansion in style, isn't this what you have always wanted?" Aunt? Shang Jin raised her eyebrows: She has always been very good to herself, and she is the wife of the current emperor, and what she says definitely carries weight. He had forgotten that he could ask her for help. He hooked his lips and said:
"Thanks for the reminder. I'll give you an answer after I think about it, and I'll take my leave. ”
……
Shang Jin went out, didn't glance at Shang Haozhi who was coming towards him, and left directly. Shang Haozhi was so angry that he "cut" and said hatefully:
"Didn't you just allocate some money to the Shang government? As for being so arrogant? Who is rare, and he has not won the position of the head of the family......" Shang Jin hooked his lips when he heard this. I saw the second aunt dressed in bells and whistles, and she didn't salute, and said lazily:
"Second aunt, long time no see."
"Shang Jin? What's your attitude? I haven't seen you for a few months, and I don't even understand the basic etiquette? What a wild boy, worthy of the seed born by that woman......"
With a "bang", the skate blade came out of the sheath, and the second aunt was shaken by the blade and screamed "ah", feeling that her waist was loosened, and the shining gold and silver jewelry worth thousands of gold suddenly hit and made a "ding" sound, and fell to the ground one by one. She hurriedly carried the severed skirt in her hand so that the situation would not be too embarrassing.
"Shang Jin, you ......" She just wanted to scold, but suddenly her neck was cold, and the ice blade came up, and she said in a dangerous voice in her magnetism:
"You probably don't know, do you? The reason why you haven't been taken off today and can still wear gold and silver is all thanks to me. Your son couldn't do it himself, so he came to me and begged for money. That cowardly gesture, tsk, really...... Don't be in a hurry to deny it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Shang Heng! Seeing the second aunt's big eyes glaring out of surprise, anger and horror, Shang Jin coldly warned:
"You'd better be like your son and keep your mouth clean, otherwise next time, my son won't mind letting it see blood. If you're not afraid of death, just make trouble. The second aunt's body trembled violently, and after Shang Jin withdrew the knife and left, she collapsed on the ground softly, and her eyes flashed with disbelief: Hasn't this Shang Jin always never collided with herself? How do you come back from a trip outside and get tough?
……
Mu Ningjiu saw Shang Jin coming this way from a distance, and immediately walked out of the door to greet him. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Why are you so positive today? Missed me? Seeing that her face was wrong, he hurriedly put away his smile and asked in a deep voice:
"Little fox, what's going on?"
"Someone just came to report the case, saying that the Yude faction misjudged a good person as a murderer and killed the wrong person." Shang Jin's eyes sank, and he hurriedly said:
"I'll write to the leftover boy right away."
"No need." The two of them looked at the source of the sound together, and Zuo Sheng stood with his hands on his back, carrying the green bag on his shoulder.
"Zuo Sheng? How do you know ......" Mu Ningjiu exclaimed.
"I went to my mother's house these days, I thought about the last two cases, and I felt something, and I had a premonition that there would be cases in the near future, so I came." He said lightly.
Isn't that amazing? Mu Ningjiu was worried.
"Then let's go to the scene of the crime, the sooner we arrive, the more strong evidence there will be." Shang Jin said.
"Hmm." Zuo Sheng nodded. Mu Ningjiu looked at his slightly frowning eyebrows, and secretly wondered in her heart: for some reason, she always felt that there was a trace of worry lingering in his eyebrows, and it didn't go away.
……
Xiao Luo turned sideways and looked at Mu Changfeng, who was gritting his teeth and training hard in the garden, with a hint of relief in his eyes: since Jun Ye wrote to him last time, Amu came to him on the second day to ask for martial arts. He was shocked when he landed, he didn't expect that the temptation Jun Ye gave him actually exceeded the delicacies he had longed for. In his heart, he was a little uneasy, and he always felt that Jun Ye's significance to Mu Changfeng had far exceeded his expectations.
The next day, he took the bottle of medicine that Mu Changfeng hid under his pillow because he was reluctant to use it, and went to the pharmacy for identification. The alchemist told him that there was no problem with this medicine, and although his heart was a little relaxed, he still couldn't rule out the suspicion of Jun Ye's behavior. I wanted to take it back and put it back in place, but one accidentally collided with a pedestrian on the road, and the pills were all crushed by the wheels. In order to prevent Amu from becoming suspicious, he went back to the pharmacy and put the most ordinary Qingxin pills in a small bottle...... The twists and turns came down, but fortunately Amu didn't find it.
The only good thing is that he works hard, which makes him ashamed of himself. Maybe there is a good environment, Amu has been practicing alternately at night, and the light skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and when he approached, he could already be noticed. When the general heard the news, he was so excited that he couldn't even hold the food, and his wife cried with joy on the spot. There was a joyful and excited atmosphere throughout the General's Mansion, which lasted for seven or eight days. And this matter also caused an uproar in Liang Guo. The people who broke their hearts for Amu finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Everyone speculated about the reason for the transformation of the young master of the General's Mansion: some people said that he was forced by the emperor, some people said that it was spontaneous, and some people said that he was instructed by a master...... In any case, Amu's reputation has finally changed a lot.
"Xiao Luo!" Mu Changfeng ran in panting, starlight flashed in his eyes, shining, and he said happily:
"I'm going out today, so I'm not going to eat here."
"Oh?" Xiao Luo seemed to think of something, and teased:
"Are you going to see Jun Ye?"
Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and couldn't help blurting out:
"How would you know?!" He always thought that he was hiding well, but he didn't expect Xiao Luo, this kid, to know about it a long time ago? Why did he never ask about it?
"I know what you're dreaming about, let alone this?" It's just that if you don't mention it yourself, I don't want you to add to your troubles. He added in his heart. Ever since Amu decided to practice martial arts, he hadn't seen him go to Jun Ye again. If he said that he didn't like it, he would never believe it. Now it seems that Amu should have forcibly restrained himself and wanted to show the best side to that woman, right?
"Good! I'll go with you. Xiao Luo spoke.
"No need, you can't help me with this kind of thing." Mu Changfeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
