Chapter Eighty-Four: The Origin of the Poor Boy
"Don't call us benefactors, we really can't afford it!" Xiao Mufeng said with a smile: "Just tell your own story, my eldest brother and I will listen carefully." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Thank you!" Han Lin wanted to say the word please sit next, but after looking around, there was almost no place for people to rest except for the broken bed where he lay down.
Looking at Han Lin's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Feifei hurriedly said: "We are people who practice martial arts, we don't need to sit, it's the same to stand here and listen to you." ā
Han Lin smiled awkwardly, leaned against the wall behind him, put on a semi-lying position to make himself as comfortable as possible, and then slowly began to tell his story: "I'm not from this Honghe Town, and I'm not a beggar, I only came here last year. ā
"Just you?" Xiao Mufeng asked.
Han Lin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "At first, I came here with my mother, but half a year ago, she died, and I spent all the money on my body to reluctantly build a small tomb for her, and as a result, in the next half a year, I lived like now." ā
Seeing that Han Lin's mood fluctuated a little, Chen Feifei hesitated for a moment, but still asked softly, "Then... Your dad?"
"My father?" The sad expression on Han Lin's face just now was gone at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Someone else killed!"
"Killed, what about the murderer, have you been caught?" Xiao Mufeng asked.
"Hmph!hmph!" Han Lin sneered twice, looking at the two people standing in front of the bed, he didn't know if he could really tell his story to the two people in front of him, from their words and deeds, he felt that they were two people who could be trusted, but when he said the reason for his downfall, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
"Hey, the most memorable thing in life is family feuds!" Xiao Mufeng said with emotion.
Looking at Xiao Mufeng's expression, Han Lin had a feeling that he was also a fallen person at the end of the world, and what he thought in his heart unconsciously jumped out of his mouth: "There is no way to kill the murderer, because my father was killed by the subordinates sent by Prime Minister Zuo today." ā
"Prime Minister Zuo's subordinates?" Chen Feifei squinted at Xiao Mufeng beside him.
"En!" Han Lin didn't notice Chen Feifei's subtle movements, since he had already spoken, he should have said everything completely, and sometimes it would be better to say all the bitterness and resentment in his heart.
Seeing that the two people in front of him did not have the slightest abnormal behavior, Han Lin continued with reassurance: "My family originally started in the jewelry industry, I wonder if the two of you have heard of 'Hairong Pavilion'?"
Chen Feifei shook his head and turned to look at Xiao Mufeng.
Xiao Mufeng thought for a while and said: "If I'm not mistaken, Hairong Pavilion should be named after Tianbao Pavilion, my mother often went there to buy some jewelry, however, there are rumors that the owner of Hairong Pavilion disappeared two years ago, but Hairong Pavilion's business is getting more and more prosperous now, and Tianbao Pavilion is suppressed everywhere in the north." Could it be that the boss of Hairong Pavilion is your father? Your father was already two years ago... ā
Han Lin's eyes glistened with tears: "That's right! My father was killed two years ago! That rumor is true." ā
"Why did Prime Minister Zuo kill your father, could it be that your father is from the Right Prime Minister's faction, so who is in charge of Hairong Pavilion now?" Chen Feifei said all the questions in his heart in one breath.
Han Lin slightly raised the broken quilt on his chest, sighed, and said slowly: "It's not all about money! Two years ago, there was a high-grade jade in Yangfan City in the north, because there were many people who wanted to get it, so they had to ask for the price on the spot. A month later, Prime Minister Zuo's lackeys washed my house in blood, not only snatched the piece of Ruyu but also killed my whole family, my mother and I were housekeepers who risked death to escort them to escape from the secret passage of home, but my father was killed by them at home that day. Half a month later, it was expected that the matter was temporarily over, and the three of us went to the Hairong Pavilion branch in another town, but it turned out that it was already the territory of Prime Minister Zuo, and the housekeeper was beaten to death in order to delay time, and my mother and I had to run around, and then wandered here. ā
Chen Feifei was so angry that he stomped his feet and said: "The traitor is in charge, is there no royal law?"
Xiao Mufeng closed his eyes tightly and said: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, my family has become his scapegoat, my father is dedicated to the country, but he also died unjustly!"
Looking at the equally sad person in front of him, Han Lin asked softly, "Could it be... Your family is also ... ļ¼ā
Xiao Mufeng nodded and said, "A year ago, our entire family was killed except for me!"
"Could it be that Zuo Cheng has something to do with it?"
Xiao Mufeng smiled bitterly: "On the contrary, my father is the person of the left prime minister Yu Hongshang, and our whole family was killed by the subordinates of the right prime minister Ling Zuo!"
"What, you said your father is Yu Hongshang's subordinate?" Han Lin's emotions were a little excited at this time, and his eyes stared at Xiao Mufeng fiercely.
Xiao Mufeng didn't run away, and looked straight into Han Lin's eyes and said, "My father has served the country and the people all his life, and he has never done anything that hurts heaven and reason. ā
"Hmph, I don't know my heart!" Han Lin sneered.
"You... The fist in Xiao Mufeng's right hand was already clenched.
"Okay!" Chen Feifei saw that the situation was wrong, stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Mufeng, who was already red-eyed, and said politely to Han Lin: "Han Gongzi, although I grew up in the countryside, I also know that in today's world, there are two people above ten thousand people under one person, one is the left prime minister, and the other is the right prime minister, which of these two prime ministers do you say is a good prime minister who has done his best for the country?"
"Phew, they're all beasts that aren't as good as pigs and dogs!"
Chen Feifei smiled and asked again: "Then are there any good officials today?"
Han Lin leaned his head against the wall and thought for a moment, "It should be... There are still some of them!"
Chen Feifei smiled and said: "Isn't that right! You also said that there are still good officials today, but whether they are good officials or corrupt officials, they are all under the control of these two prime ministers, so you can't cover the whole with partiality." ā
After listening to Chen Feifei's words, Han Lin pondered carefully, and remembered that it was all Xiao Mufeng who carried him back just now, and said slightly apologetically: "Brother Xiao, I shouted at you Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, just now I lost my family, and I was quick to speak, please forgive me!"
Xiao Mufeng waved his hand and said, "I can understand your mood, I was a little impulsive just now!"
Seeing the two reconcile, Chen Feifei stroked his palms and smiled: "You are all not wrong, if you want to blame, it should be on those two prime ministers who do all kinds of evil." ā
"Big brother, second brother, it's not good! Come out, we're leaving!" Zhang Xiaohua's voice suddenly came from outside.
