Chapter 546 Capital Crime, No Compromise
Mo Chengde let out a long sigh, he didn't understand how Ye Jinxi could become so unreasonable overnight? He had already said all the good things, and helped her analyze and clarify her thoughts from beginning to end, but she just wanted to drill the horns and insisted on going against the Mo family.
Mo Chengde rubbed his temples, as if after some comparison, he felt that the lady who was actually beside him was the one who had the same heart as himself.
But, after all, he knew each other when he was young, and he had been friends for decades. It is impossible for Mo Chengde to completely break off relations with Ye Jinxi for the sake of this incident.
"Jinxi, can you empathize?" Mo Chengde asked.
"Why aren't you empathetic?" Ye Jinxi asked rhetorically, "If my relatives fell into my hands, you came to beg me in a low voice, but I rejected you." The end result is that your family is ruined, will you have the patience and sanity? ”
"I have!" Mo Chengde said firmly, "Mo'an's achievements are the best example. I told you before that Mo Ancheng was the one I arranged for Long Dahai to help assassinate him, and the same goes for Aunt Zhao. Because they collaborated with the enemy. If you do something wrong, you should pay the price, this is a heavenly principle since ancient times. ”
"But what did my brother Ye Wenyuan do wrong? He is dedicated to education and is highly respected. He was the most innocent of all of them, but he died in vain. When I went to your house to plead, it was because my brother had a heart condition, and he couldn't be excited, and he couldn't rejoice or grieve. Ye Jinxi clenched his fists, "I have explained the facts to your family, and it is clear, but in the end, it was rejected, which caused my brother's tragedy." I said that the Mo family was the executioner who killed my brother, and the Mo family was not wronged. ”
"Why isn't the Mo family wronged?" Mo Chengde asked rhetorically, "Not to mention what she did to Hui'er before, just based on Ye Siying's collaboration with the enemy, she is innocent." If everyone who makes a mistake and deserves to die can be exonerated because he has a relative with heart disease in his family, then what national laws and national morality do you need? ”
"National laws? Hmph, which law in the country says that people can be executed at will? Is Long Dahai the military, or the police? Is the execution of Ye Siying recognized by national law? Is there a public trial? If there is nothing, why do this to her? Ye Jinxi argued with reason, and she thought that she also had some truth.
"Then let me ask you, who is the person who killed Ye Siying?" Mo Chengde asked.
"The Mo family didn't kill people directly, but handed the executioner a knife." Ye Jinxi almost roared, "In short, Mo Chengde, I won't give up on this matter." My brother's death was wrongful, and Siying's death was too miserable. My Ye family is now ruined, and I can't forgive you. ”
"You should know very well that the person who killed Ye Siying was Ye Luochen, who was scraping Ye Siying alive, so that Ye Siying saw her body feeding the dog, and was frightened to death. Why did Ye Luochen have such an aggressive behavior? You know this better than anyone else, you should understand how Ye Siying and Ye Zhihan treated Ye Luochen and how they bullied him in the past. The child's heart was twisted. Mo Chengde said, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and softened his tone, "Jinxi, what you have to do now is to take care of Ye Luochen, because Ye Siying is a death row inmate, if he kills Ye Siying, there will be no imprisonment, and I will come forward to solve this matter." ”
"It's not my turn for you to teach you a lesson. What I am going to do and what not to do, don't I know myself? Ye Jinxi was still emotionally strong.
"Jinxi, we have been friends for so many years, do we have to make things like this?" Mo Chengde asked, he really didn't want to turn against Ye Jinxi.
"I don't want to be like this with you, we have always stood on the same front, but I never expected that your Mo family would be so cruel to me, and you still don't think you did anything wrong." Ye Jinxi clenched his fists.
"We're friends, better than friends. This time it has happened, and I regret the tragedy of Brother Wen Yuan. It's just that I don't want to make us suspicious because of this incident. I believe that Brother Wen Yuan has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want us to turn our backs. Mo Chengde said, "I can accommodate you and let you do other things." Only in this matter, I must take the side of reason, and I cannot be partial to you. However, with these things happening, I can help you do something else. As long as you can put aside the hatred, I can solve the impasse between the Kyoto Times and the Huaxia Daily, let the two newspapers develop together, and the well water will not interfere with the river water, and even cooperate sincerely. ”
"Jinxi, I really hope to reconcile with you." Mo Chengde's attitude is very sincere, but he will not give an inch in the general principle.
Ye Jinxi smiled slightly, "Mo Chengde, do you really want to reconcile with me?" Is it really sincere? ”
"Seriously!" Mo Chengde seemed to see hope, and he felt that Ye Jinxi's question was relieved.
"Well, you promise me one thing." Ye Jinxi said.
"What's the matter?" Even if Mo Chengde is very excited, he will not lose his mind, he will not agree first, but first find out what Ye Jinxi wants to do?
"The Ye family is dead, my brother and Siying, I don't want anyone in the Ye family to die, especially I don't want to see something happen to the juniors. For example, Ye Zhihan. Ye Jinxi looked at Mo Chengde, "If he can come back in the future, I want you to forgive him for all his crimes, and you can't kill him or hurt him." ”
"Ye Zhihan's crime of collaborating with the enemy is even more serious than Ye Siying. Don't you know? He went to Kangcheng with Xue Kaicheng and took refuge in the Wanguang faction. Mo Chengde said, "Jinxi, don't be embarrassed for me, can you?" ”
"So, you mean to reject my offer?" Ye Jinxi pinched her fingers and smiled bitterly, "I knew that you would definitely not agree." Therefore, Mo Chengde, no matter what our relationship was in the past, from now on, we are already a bridge to a bridge and a road to the road. The Ye family and the Mo family are incompatible. ”
Ye Jinxi stood up as she spoke, took her handbag and left.
Mo Chengde didn't chase after him, he knew that it was meaningless to say anything more at this time, and it was impossible for Ye Jinxi to change.
Mo Chengde saw that the time was only five o'clock, so he went to the hospital again, and it happened that Mrs. Mo woke up and was chatting with Gu Xinling casually!
"Father, are you back so soon? I thought you would go straight to the Kyoto hotel. Gu Xinling hurriedly made room for Mo Chengde and asked him to sit down beside Mrs. Mo.
"What about them? Don't you accompany your mother? Mo Chengde frowned and asked.
"There is an urgent matter in Mo'anhang Hospital, Qiao Na went to the newspaper office to prepare for the interview, and Hui'er had to sort out the newspaper. With me, a person who understands medicine, to stay, I can get an idea once I have something, and Linglong is also there, plus the nurses, we are not short of manpower. Gu Xinling hurriedly explained, "Father, don't worry too much. My mother's condition has stabilized a lot. ”
"That's good!" Mo Chengde looked at Mrs. Mo.
"Did you go talk to Jinxi? Is she willing to reconcile? Mrs. Mo asked with concern.
Mo Chengde shook his head and let out a long sigh, "The only condition she can reconcile with me is to let Ye Zhihan go, but I refused." Ye Zhihan's crime of collaborating with the enemy is confirmed, he is a capital crime, and I can't agree. Therefore, she said that the Ye family and the Mo family are incompatible. She almost refused to talk to me, and I thought we might have lost this friend for decades. ”
"We might as well promise her that Ye Zhihan has done a lot of evil, and after he comes back, Long Ye may not let him go. Why is there such a stiff fuss at this time. During this time, the two newspapers fought with each other with words, which is really not a problem. In the long run, you will inevitably die. Whether it's the Kyoto Times or the Huaxia Daily, I don't want to see the day go out of business. Mrs. Mo also had a gentle attitude and comforted Mo Chengde.
"A matter of principle, there can be no compromise. I can even kill Cheng'er ruthlessly, not to mention Ye Zhihan, who is even worse than Cheng'er! Mo Chengde shook his head, "No matter who persuades me in this matter, I will not compromise and give in." ”
"You! It's just a stubborn temper. Mrs. Mo sighed.
In fact, Mrs. Mo helped persuade her, not because she was deliberately pretentious, but because she didn't want Huaxia Daily to work against the largest newspaper in Kyoto as soon as it was established, and she was always worried about what would happen to the newspaper society.
If she can exchange Ye Zhihan's life for the tranquility of the press in Kyoto, she can accept it. After all, Ye Siying's death and Ye Wenyuan's death have dealt a blow to the Ye family, and she is not the kind of person who will fall into the well.
"Actually, it's a pity that Ye Wenyuan died, can it be repaid as a son's debt, just as Ye Wenyuan died for Ye Zhihan, give Ye Zhihan a way to live, so that the relationship between us and the Ye family will not be too stiff." Mrs. Mo came up with an idea.
"One yard is one yard, Ye Zhihan is a capital crime, and he can't be compromised." Mo Chengde's attitude was firm, "Later, I will go to the Kyoto Hotel to invite Long Ye to dinner, and by the way, I will be interviewed by Huaxia Daily." Since Huaxia Daily is helping the Mo family clarify, then I have to give them the scoop to support this newly established newspaper. I'll come back to see you when I'm done eating. By the way, what would you like for a late-night snack? I can buy it for you by the way. ”
"No need. If only you had this heart. Mrs. Mo had never felt that Mo Chengde cared about her so much, but she couldn't bear to let him be tired, "You have to rush back to the barracks tomorrow, don't come to see me after eating, go home and sleep well, rest well, the years are not forgiving, you are also a lot old, you can't be too tired yourself." I'm fine, leave a maid here, plus there is a nurse, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”
"I'm staying with you in the hospital tonight, so I can count as fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband!" Mo Chengde sighed, "Over the years, I have not done well, and I am very derelict in my duties. But this time, I must take good care of you in the hospital, otherwise, my conscience will be troubled! ”
