"Big brother, why are you here?"

Yan Jun hung his head and asked in a muffled voice.

"Why, can't I come?"

Yanlong raised his eyebrows and said disapprerovitically: "They are all father's sons, so I don't take it for granted." ”

Yanlong bypassed Yanjun and came to the old city lord's couch, just standing quietly, from the perspective of Ye Xiaoxiao under the bed, Yanlong seemed to be looking down on the old city lord, with low eyes with indescribable emotions.

The old lord's bed was so low that neither of the two brothers in the bedroom noticed anyone under the bed.

Yanlong just stood in front of the old city lord's bed, and the Yanjun behind him didn't come up, neither of them had the meaning of speaking, and the air was a little dull.

"Big brother."

Yan Jun was the first to break the silence and asked seemingly casually, "How is the person who was caught last night now, and what did he say?" ”

Ye Xiaoxiao, who was under the bed, quickly pricked up his ears when he heard this, and listened to the conversation between the two with twelve points of energy.

"In prison."

"What about Ye Xiaoxiao?"

"I didn't find it, when Qin Lan confessed, she would naturally know where she was."

Yan Long replied with a normal expression: "Wang Ye may go to interrogate him, I don't know if there are any parts missing from the person now." ”

Yan Jun and Ye Xiaoxiao's expressions were tense after hearing this, Yan Jun's face was not very good-looking, he looked directly at Yan Long and said:

"That Ye Xiaoxiao was invited by me from the Tsing Yi Pavilion at a great price, and the status of the saint in the Tsing Yi Pavilion is not much worse than that of the god son of the Tai Temple, Qin Lan is the person she brought, and her strength and origin are not clear...... Brother, how can you do this to make me a younger brother......"

Yan Jun's voice became lower and lower, and seeing that Yan Long was still silent in the end, Yan Long's palm slapped heavily on the table, and asked emotionally:

"Big brother, I want to ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that he is the murderer of his father! And why did you put me under house arrest! ”

"Just he, Qin Lan, hindering Prince Lu Shan from treating the old city lord is enough!"

"Qin Lan, what did he do!? I only saw Lu Shan leave without waiting for his father's treatment! ”

From Yan Jun's point of view, whether it is the person he invited, or the person invited by Yan Long, as long as he can cure his father, he can do anything, but Lu Shan just prescribed a prescription, and the person left without a sound, but his own person was disappeared by Yan Long for no reason, and now Yan Jun still thinks that the eldest brother may have made a mistake.

"The medicinal herbs that Lu Shan wanted to buy were snatched away by Qin Lan, didn't he have ulterior motives?"

Yan Long's eyes froze, turned around and pointed at Yan Jun's nose and said, "Why did you put you under house arrest?" I'm protecting you from being used by traitors! ”

"Don't put on a stand to be a brother there!"

Yan Jun slapped Yan Long's hand away from his eyes, and said angrily:

"I'll ask you, what I asked was taken away by you, and the person you found yourself ran away, and now who is still coming to treat my father!? Since your father fell ill, you Yan Dagongzi has only been here a few times, and he is busy greeting various forces in the city every day, and you care more about the position of the city lord after your father leaves than your father's illness! Yanlong! Is the position of the castle lord so important to you!? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Yan Long stretched out his hand and slapped Yan Jun's face, and said angrily: "I'm not going to contact those forces, will you contact them!?" ”

There was a burst of heat on his face, Yan Jun looked at Yan Long in a daze, with disbelief in his tone, and muttered:

"Brother...... Are you still the Yanlong I know......"

Since what did his big brother become a little different......

It was probably at that time, looking at Yan Long's face, Yan Jun suddenly remembered an incident three years ago.

Yanlong was born three years earlier than Yanjun, and Yanjun has always felt that his eldest brother is much better than himself, especially when dealing with people.

Yanlong, a person with a head and a face in Yanzhou City, knows almost everything, so many times when the old city lord is not there, he can rest assured that the affairs of the city will be handed over to Yanlong.

As a younger brother, Yanjun has an older brother like Yanlong on his side, so he can do what he wants without taking into account the pressure of his identity, and he is very comfortable doing what he wants to do many times.

Three years ago, at that time, Yan Jun liked to go to the small alley of Sandao Street outside Yan Mansion to have breakfast, compared to the chef of Yan Mansion, the stalls outside had a more fireworks atmosphere.

Yanjun loved the feeling, it made him feel like he was part of the city.

Aunt Wang's xiaolongbao is simply a must-have breakfast in the small alley, and Yanjun has to order a drawer every time he comes.

Like Yan Jun, there is also an uncle, and Yan Jun can see him every time he goes to breakfast.

"Aunt Wang, let's have a drawer of xiaolongbao!"

As usual, Yan Jun casually found a table and sat down, and the uncle next to him was already halfway through eating.

"It's coming, Yan Gongzi use it slowly."

Aunt Wang's eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"Aunt Wang, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Yan Jun stopped Aunt Wang and asked with concern.

Aunt Wang turned around and opened her mouth, and finally sighed, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Thank you Gongzi Yan for your concern, I have nothing to do." ”

"It is said that the Wolf Mercenary Group has started to come to Sandao Street to collect protection money."

The uncle next to him took over the conversation, took a bite of the bun, and said vaguely: "It's a small business, where can I get so much money to pay what protection fees." ”

"Nonsense!"

Yan Jun frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Who gave them the power to squeeze the people's money!" ”

"The old city lord is not here, and the affairs of Yanzhou City will be handed over to the eldest prince of Yan, who is hanging to win over the powerful and turning a blind eye to the behavior of the wild wolf mercenary group, and the wild wolf group will become more and more unbridled."

The uncle ate the last bun in the bowl, put a copper coin on the table, patted his ass and left.

"Boss, there's no need to look for more."

When the uncle walked past Yan Jun, a voice floated into Yan Jun's ears:

"Knowing that you are the second son of Yanfu, if you still think of the simplicity and suffering of these ordinary people, go back and talk to Na Yanlong, there are not only those powerful and rich people in Yanzhou City."

Yan Jun's expression tightened, and he asked:

"Dare to ask who your Excellency is?"

"It's just an ordinary Yanzhou City person. If we meet again next time, I'll tell you my name. ”

Uncle just waved his hand, and disappeared into the crowd in a moment.

Yan Jun looked at Aunt Wang's busy appearance at the stall, recalled the words of the uncle just now, and suddenly felt that the bun in his mouth became tasteless.

After taking two mouthfuls and paying for the meal, Yanjun hurried back home.

"Big Brother"

Yan Jun found Yan Long and briefly explained what he had seen and heard this morning, after hearing this, Yan Long looked indignant, and said in a shocked voice: "Little brother, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter!" ”

Three days later, Yan Jun came to Aunt Wang's booth again, and from Aunt Wang's face, he did not see the joy he expected, but a deep sorrow.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and Aunt Wang's spirit has been a lot worse, and there is no blood on her face.

"Aunt Wang, have the people from the Wild Wolf Regiment come to collect protection money recently?"

Yan Jun felt a little incredulous, he had obviously told his eldest brother, it was impossible for the eldest brother not to care about the livelihood of the people in the city.

"Come on, come every day, I've paid once before, they don't think it's enough, and they come to care about me, I don't give it, I come to my door every day to block my ......"

Speaking of this, Aunt Wang's voice was full of crying, and she turned her back and whimpered for a while.

"When is this kind of day a head......

When Yanjun saw Aunt Wang like this, his face turned red and white for a while, and he didn't have the heart to stay here anymore.

"Big brother!"

Back at Yanfu, Yanlong's door was smashed by Yanjun, and Yanjun stopped when he heard the voice of the eldest brother in the room.

"Big brother, didn't you say that there won't be any more wild wolves on the other side of Sandao Street to look for trouble?"

Yan Jun leaned on Yan Long's desk, and spat Xingzi sprayed Yan Long in the face.

Yanlong wiped his face with his cuffs helplessly, and said, "Little brother, I am also investigating the thing you said, but there is no evidence, you have to give me some time, don't you?" ”

"But Aunt Wang in Sandao Street Hutong can't wait! No, I'm going to the Wolf Mercenary Group now, and I'm going to see if there is any law in their eyes! ”

As he spoke, Yan Jun was about to go outside.

"You come back to me!"

Yanlong stood up and grabbed Yanjun, and said sincerely: "Little brother, give me some more time, okay, brother will definitely give you an answer." ”

When Yanjun saw Yanlong say this, he had no choice but to restrain his emotions and nodded in agreement.

About a week later, Yan Jun met Aunt Wang on the street by chance, and seeing that Aunt Wang's complexion had improved a lot, Yan Jun opened his mouth and asked, "Aunt Wang, have there been any people from the Wolf Mercenary Group to collect money recently?" ”

"Yes, yes, but less."

Aunt Wang pulled Yanjun and whispered:

"Young Master Yan, I'll tell you the truth, not long ago morning, those of us who were levied protection money by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group found a large bag of money outside the door, more than twice the amount of money we were collected. It is said that there is a mysterious thief who has stolen all the money of the wolf mercenary group these days, and the head of the wolf mercenary group is angry and has reported the crime. They are too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally they are not in the mood to trouble us. I don't know which righteous man it is, so it's good if there are more thieves like this......"

Looking at Aunt Wang's joyful expression, Yanjun felt that there was a sense of disobedience in this matter, but it was not within his power to investigate, so he could only ask the eldest brother again.

Yanlong didn't go home for two days, and when he came back, he had a case in his hand.

"Well, that's what you want."

Yan Jun opened the case file with doubts and read in a low voice:

"The prisoner Hong Fu stole countless property from the wolf group and the people, and was sentenced to three years in prison in accordance with the law."

Reading this, Yan Jun's pupils suddenly shrank, and the portrait on the case file was the uncle who had breakfast with those Tianyan soldiers!

After Hong Fu was arrested, Yan Jun never heard about the wolf mercenary group imposing protection money on anyone. This matter is over, but when the old city lord came back, he seemed to be angry at Yanlong, and Yanlong was even imprisoned by the old city lord for half a month.

It was also from then on that Yanlong's attitude towards the old city lord and Yanjun began to become subtle.

"I've always been like this, it's just that you never see me clearly."

It wasn't until Yan Long's indifferent voice pulled Yan Jun back from his memories to reality that Yan Jun shuddered violently.

When I think about it now, I realize that there are many details that I didn't notice at the time.

The truth of the matter should not be like that!
