Chapter 259: News
Ah Heng looked at the young beggar who was brought in front of him, except for the fact that his clothes were a little torn, his face and hands were very clean, obviously he had washed them carefully before coming, and there was no dirt in his nails. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can notice this, it seems that this boy has not been a beggar for long.
The young beggar looked at Ah Heng's burning eyes, a little cramped and uneasy, and a little self-confessing, but he still tried his best to straighten his body, maintaining a look that was neither humble nor arrogant, like a weed growing stubbornly among the rocks.
Ah Heng showed a look of appreciation, this young man has an unyielding heart! He even vaguely saw his own shadow. A moment of frustration is not terrible, who can not be downcast? When he was a child, he wandered around with his father-in-law, and was not called a "little beggar" by others?
Begging is to live, but to live is not the real purpose of begging. If it is only for survival, what is the difference between man and beast?
Try to live, but don't forget the purpose of living - apparently the boy did, holding on to his negligible self-esteem and sticking to his ideals. From the other party's eyes, Ah Heng saw the burning desire to control his destiny.
Ah Heng: "Little brother, although it is the second time we have met, I don't know what your name is?" Ah Heng felt funny after asking this sentence. It seems that I have been messing with these old fritters for a long time, and my mentality is much older. Speaking of which, he himself is not much older than this boy!
The young beggar: "Lord Duke, my surname is Zhong Minghan, and I am from the imperial capital." ”
Ah Heng was happy in his heart, this young man was very interesting, and deliberately added the sentence "Imperial Capital People's Clan" at the end, these four words show that he is at least a commoner, not the same as those nameless and stateless wandering beggars and slaves, and this redundant description is not abrupt at all - Ah Heng likes such smart people,
Ah Heng: "Zhong Han, you said you have something urgent to tell me?"
Zhong Han: "Yes, Lord Duke. I arranged for my subordinates in Beicheng to hear a news that someone wanted to recruit him to gather at the North City Gate tonight to protest, the purpose of which was to oppose the strict ban on the whole city, and asked the adults to open the city gate and let them out of the city to make a living. If the adults don't agree, they will storm the northern city - I heard that anyone who passes by will receive a gold coin. ”
Shi Qian was furious: "A group of white-eyed wolves, beating is nothing more than the idea of not holding the public accountable! My lord, you are too merciful to these bastards, let me take someone to cut them down!"
Ah Heng laughed happily.
Shi Qian and Li Hao were both stunned.
Heng: "Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
The two glanced at each other, instantly understood what Ah Heng meant, and smiled.
......
Ah Heng looked at Zhong Han's clear eyes and said with a smile: "Zhong Han, your news is very important to me, just say whatever reward you need!"
Zhong Han pursed his lips: "My lord, I have only one request!"
Ah Heng was stunned for a moment, but he still responded cheerfully: "No problem, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!" After all, this news is too important to him, so important that it is closely related to his fate.
Zhong Han glanced at Li Hemp, and suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "My lord, I don't want to be a beggar all the time!"
What kind of request is this? Ah Heng glanced at Li Hao suspiciously, could it be that he had done something to the young man?
Li Hao said with a look of grievance: "My lord, I didn't do anything!" He said to the young man with a black face: "Boy, you'd better make it clear to adults, I didn't force you to be a beggar-"
Zhong Han: "Don't get me wrong, my lord, Chief Li takes good care of me. I mean, I don't want to be a beggar for the rest of my life, it would disgrace my father - I hope to be his pride one day!"
Ah Heng smiled, another ambitious guy. I read it right, this teenager has a fiery heart. What the other party wants is a promise that will allow him to change his fate and gain glory.
Ah Heng didn't immediately agree to the other party, but asked, "I don't know—Ling Zun is?"
Zhong Han's eyes showed a trace of sadness: "My father is Zhong Miandao, the director of the Weapons Department of the Ministry of Industry, and he is responsible for the research and ......manufacturing of imperial weapons."
A hint of discoloration flashed in Ah Heng's eyes, the head of the Weapons Division, who is also a member of the empire from the third grade, how could he let his son fall to this.
Zhong Han continued: "Three months ago, my father left suddenly, and I heard my mother vaguely say that my father was conducting a secret weapon research and could not determine the return date - we didn't know that this time it was actually goodbye to my father. On November 10, when the imperial capital was shaken and the southeastern city was completely destroyed, my mother called my brother and me to us and told us that my father was no longer there—she must have known the secret, but she said nothing. ”
Heng: "So—where is your mother now?"
Zhong Han was silent, just quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Ah Heng patted the other party's shoulder, he knew that he had inadvertently done a very cruel thing, and he tore open the wounds that the other party was far from healing.
Ah Heng could guess that Zhong Han's parents were not simple, this kind of non-simplicity did not mean that his father was a member of the empire, but the secret behind it, and this secret even implied some cruelty - Ah Heng remembered the huge arsenal hidden underground, and he had vaguely heard someone call him "Lord Zhong", maybe it was the father of the young man in front of him!
And Ye Chong can hand over such an important base to that "Lord Zhong", how can he not have any arrangement, maybe this "arrangement" is Zhong Han's mother - she may be Ye Chong's handle to control Zhong Han's father, whether it is a hostage or a monitor, it must be a very difficult woman.
In the past, a warm family memory will at least leave a ray of sunshine in the heart of this teenager!
Ah Heng stared at each other: "Zhong Han, I believe that you will be able to make your parents proud." We are all the same kind of people. Help me, dreams are not out of reach!"
Zhong Han nodded heavily, his eyes shining with hope.
......
Waiting for Zhong Han to leave, Shi Qian suddenly said: "My lord, I think you have put too much pressure on this young man! Although this young man is smart, if he wants to integrate the underground gang in the imperial capital, I am afraid that he is still unable to do it! Moreover, you will give him the authority of 100,000 gold coins at one time, and there is no upper limit." The double torment of pressure and wealth, this is not helping him, but harming him!"
Ah Heng spread his hands: "No way, everyone is forced out." I want to believe him, he knows exactly what he wants, just like us!
Li Hao also smiled: "Lao Shi, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts." When the frozen city was broken, I was about the same age as this young man, and I was hunted down by the coalition forces of the Senate. With my help, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Shi Qian glanced at the other party: "It's because of you that I'm worried! A kind and pure lost lamb has been bewitched by you, the devil—"
Li Hao is not angry, if you want to talk about the devil who deceives people's hearts, it has to be the Duke! )
