After leaving the big smoke house, Ma Ying staggered to the boiled stall across the street as if she had not woken up from a hangover.

The owner of the stall was sitting in Gao Mazha reading the newspaper when he saw Ma Ying coming over and didn't wait for her to speak.

He stood up, picked up the clip hanging next to the iron pot, and said, "Here it is, it's still the same." A piece of liver and a fat intestine. ”

The boss had a cigarette in his mouth, and the ash fell into the boiled soup because of the vibration as he spoke.

Ma Ying saw it, but she still didn't react at all, she just copied her pants pockets and bent her back.

I was stunned to watch the boss pick up the stew with a tong, then put it on the board and chop it into a paper bag, and hand it to her.

There was a lot of soot mixed in it, and Shengsheng whispered to Xing Sang beside him: "Master, this woman is really amazing. ”

Xing Sang was thinking about another thing in her heart, she found that no matter whether it was people coming in or going out of this big smoke house.

There is a strong demonic aura on their bodies, and even some people have been surrounded by the breath of death.

But Ma Ying has no trace of demonic energy on her body, not even angry, although she is still a big living person.

I saw that Ma Ying was holding a boiled bag in her hand and walked back to the big tobacco house.

She looked at Xing Sang and Shengsheng, who were standing on the steps waiting for her, and asked, "Do you really invite me to smoke?"

Xing Sang smiled slightly: "One word." ”

"Okay, come in with me. Ma Ying glanced at the two of them and walked into the big smoke house again.

Victory was shocked and angry: "I said why do you still want to go in!

Ma Ying glanced at her and said, "Love can't go in." ”

After speaking, she turned a corner and walked towards the inner compartment smoke room, she was about to explode if she overwhelmed it, and she couldn't wait to beat Ma Ying now.

"Don't be angry, good apprentice, after all, we have something to ask for. Xing Sang stroked Shengsheng's back and coaxed.

With that, the two walked a few steps, and followed Ma Ying into a smoking room, which was filled with smoke and reflected with the dim light.

Ma Ying raised her hand and pointed to the two chairs next to the cigarette bed and said, "You guys sit." ”

She lay down on her own and began to light a cigarette and smoke, squinting her eyes and asking, "Cigarette money?"

Xing Sang smiled, took out a bag of silver dollars from the cloth bag she carried and threw it to Ma Ying, she checked it with the help of the back and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Ying spit out a puff of smoke and floated towards Shengli, she was choked and coughed unhappily: "Ma Ying, what are you doing! ”

"Little girl, you run around behind my ass all day long, but you don't know me now!" Ma Ying said with a smile leaning against the partition behind her.

Shengli pursed his lips and said, "I think you're smoking! I didn't know you before!"

A trace of loneliness flashed in Ma Ying's eyes, and when Xing Sang saw it, she put the two case files on the cigarette bed and said, "Ma Ying, there are two case files here." ”

"I want to know the details. ”

Ma Ying knocked the cigarette gun on the table and said, "Isn't the case file written very clearly in your order hall!"

"Why do I have to say anything more?

Xing Sang said, "You don't have to rush to reject me. ”

"This first case file, numbered 103, was filed 10 years ago, on October 3, 281. ”

After Xing Sang finished speaking, she saw that the stiff expression on Ma Ying's face had changed slightly, and she did not look at Xing Sang, but at the smoke she exhaled.

She knew that Ma Ying was recalling the contents of the case file.

Xing Sang continued: "This is the first case that occurred in the second month of the establishment of the Order Management Department. ”

"It's an ordinary case of fire. ”

Ma Ying closed her eyes and smoked a big cigarette, but when she heard Xing Sang say "It's an ordinary fire case", she suddenly opened her eyes.

She asked, seemingly incredulous, "Ordinary, a fire case?"

Xing Sang lowered his head and glanced at the file, and said with great certainty: "Yes, ordinary." ”

Ma Ying snapped, put the cigarette gun on the table, and asked a little angrily, "What is the content of the case file?"

Xing Sang smiled slightly and continued: "The time of the crime was 1:45 a.m. on October 3. ”

"The fire took place at the Chongguang newspaper office at Zero on Laika Road, killing four people on the spot. ”

Shengli exclaimed: "Isn't Laika Road Zero, isn't it the current Zhen's apartment!"

Xing Sang looked at Shengli and said, "That's right, it's the apartment we live in, which used to be a newspaper. ”

Ma Ying then asked, "What is the cause of the fire and the cause of death of these four people!"

Her tone was very concerned and anxious, as if she wanted Xing Sang to tell her immediately.

Xing Sang said unhurriedly: "The cause of the fire was the aging and malfunction of the printing machine, and it was under the improper operation of the printing staff. ”

"The rapid rotation of the machine generated a large number of sparks that ignited a large number of newspapers, which caused the four newspaper printing workers at the scene to be burned too hard. ”

"I didn't get out as soon as I could, and I suffocated to death by inhaling a large amount of carbon monoxide. ”

Ma Ying clenched the cigarette gun in her hand, her eyes were full of anger, and she even said sadly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

"Improper operation, aging machines! These are all slanders against the dead and smears against the newspaper!"

"What is written in this case file is false! It's all fake!"

Shengli looked at Xing Sang, she didn't expect Ma Ying to react like this, she should be indifferent to these.

Xing Sang put down the case file bag and asked solemnly: "What is the detailed inside story of the year?"

Ma Ying's tears almost flowed out of her eyes, she bit her lip, and just clenched her cigarette gun hard.

"Ma Ying, tell me, I can help you find out about the fire case that year. ”

"Also, the cause of death of those four people, ten years have passed, and they have waited too long. Xing Sang held Ma Ying's hand holding the cigarette gun and said.

Ma Ying raised her head and looked at Xing Sang's eyes in a daze, sad and sincere, helpless and warm.

"Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. ”

"The reason why the newspaper is called Chongguang is the original intention and dream of the six young people who set up the newspaper. ”

"We were all proud sons of heaven back then, and everyone was the treasure of our parents. ”

"We were nurtured and raised in ivory towers, and we didn't know what poverty was and what death was. ”

"It wasn't until we confronted this that we knew that people were struggling. ”

"They see no hope, and when they want to stick their heads out for a breath, there will always be a disgruntled evil hand that will hold them down until they can no longer breathe and their souls die. ”

"We can't let the people live like this anymore if we see the so-called power players playing with the regime and being corrupt. ”

"Our country will not be a country, and people's hearts will rot!" Ma Ying said almost passionately.

Xing Sang said: "Therefore, you set up Chongguang Newspaper to warn the world with progressive articles and words and bring them hope to see again. ”

Ma Ying said slowly: "Yes, we were very successful at first, and we also received the support of many poor people and intellectuals from all walks of life. ”

"However, it was not long before an organization emerged that brought our bright cause into darkness. ”

Xing Sang paused and asked, "What organization?"

Ma Ying said: "Qinglian Hall Chamber of Commerce. ”

Victorious for a moment, looking at Xing Sang, she asked, "Qinglian Hall Chamber of Commerce, what's wrong?"

Ma Ying smiled disdainfully and said, "What, is the Qinglian Hall Chamber of Commerce very important to you?" ”

Victory Rush said: "Naturally, yes. ”

Ma Ying continued: "I almost forgot, you are also funded and favored by the Qinglian Hall Chamber of Commerce, hehe. ”

"You, how do you know?"

"Who the hell are you, how do you know these things about me?"

Ma Ying brushed her hair up and said with a gentle smile, "Hongying, have you forgotten Yingzi so quickly?"

Victorious rose from her chair, took a step back, but almost fell back into her chair.

Xing Sang asked with concern, "Apprentice, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, Master, she, she is Ma Ying, he, he is Yingzi!"

"He should be Uncle Yingzi!" Shengli pointed to Ma Ying, who was sitting on the cigarette bed, and exclaimed.

Ma Ying smiled and said, "Little Hongying, you are finally willing to call me uncle." ”

Xing Sang's expression froze, and he asked, "Uncle Yingzi?"

Ma Ying raised her head and smiled, Xing Sanghe Shengli saw the huge Adam's apple in her throat, which is why her voice was so hoarse and rough.

It turns out that Ma Ying is really a man!

"Are you a man?" asked Xing Sang.

Ma Ying shook her head and said, "Maybe it used to be, but it's ridiculous that it's incomplete now." ”

Victory choked up and shouted: "Yingzi, Yingzi for so many years, where have you been? Why did you leave without saying a word?"

"I always thought you were dead, in that flash flood!"

Ma Ying continued to recall: "I have already died in that flash flood, so I am Ma Ying now. ”

Xing Sang comforted Shengli and sat down, and asked, "Is the fire case related to the Qinglian Hall Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right, on the morning of October 2, two agents from the Order Management Department came to the Chongguang Newspaper Office. ”

"They came to us with a shutdown order that from the second day the newspaper could no longer open, and that if we disobeyed, we would bear the consequences...... "Tears welled up in Ms. Ma's eyes, she recalled.

At the Chongguang newspaper office, six young people sat at the table, each of them frowning and preoccupied.

"Ma Ying, what should we do? Our newspaper can't stop here!" said a man in a blue shirt.

He was the only son of Lan Kai, then the director of the Education and Development Bureau, Lan Chen, who was 21 years old at the time, and he was very smart but very impulsive.

At that time, Ma Ying was still a handsome man, so he was often recognized as a girl since he was a child.

He nodded and said solemnly: "Lan Chen, I know that I will not agree to stop it." ”

"And, in the early hours of the morning, we continue to print as usual, and tomorrow I'm going to get that novel in the newspaper!"

At this time, a man sitting with Lan Chen said, "I agree with Ma Ying's decision. ”

"As for the paper and ink, I'll pull it straight from my dad's factory. ”

This man is Yuan Tian, the youngest son of Yuan Daxing, the director of Daxing Paper Mill in Qinglin City, who was 20 years old at the time.

"Sun Chengming, are you coming?" Ma Ying asked as he looked at Sun Chengming, who was sitting across from him.

"You and I will not be separated. Sun Chengming grew up in a slum area and was later sold by his family to the Ma family as a servant.

But the Ma family never treated him as a servant, and treated him like their own son for him to study and go to school.

He and Ma Ying have an extremely deep relationship, but this is also a factor that is destined for tragedy.

Ma Ying smiled: "I knew that you were my good brother." ”

The other two people replied together: "We will fight the evil forces to the end and save the poor people!"
