Yue Lingfeng was silent for a long time, slowly leaned against the head of the bed, and the uncomfortable cold aura exuded from his body faded, and said softly: "A few years ago, the Kuangyi Gang changed greatly, and everyone intercepted the gang leader, some of them wanted to ask clearly, and some of them took advantage of the chaos to have bad intentions. ”

Lin Jianlan saw that he suddenly mentioned the past a few years ago, and he didn't know why, so he nodded and said: "Uncle Qing once told me that you didn't fight to the death, but someone said in secret, 'What face do you have to save for such ruthless and unrighteous collusion with the imperial court to kill Brother Cao?', which aroused the anger of the crowd, and there were also people in it who secretly killed him, and Uncle Qing had no time to explain, so he fled to Liaodong. ”

Yue Lingfeng said: "The gang leader has mentioned many times that he will definitely find this person in the future, but he doesn't know that that person is the one I brought into the gang that day." ”

Lin Jianlan was really surprised by these words, and said, "This ...... Why did Brother Yue bring him in?"

Yue Lingfeng smiled slightly mockingly and said, "Do you remember the day when you mentioned that Chief Manager Cao got a batch of extremely rare ancient books for me?"

Lin Jianlan's heart was touched again, just as when he heard this that day, he also faintly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong, and said: "Brother Yue once said that it was also Manager Cao who did a big thing for that family, so he changed the book back. ”

Yue Lingfeng sighed and said: "That person went straight to me and said that he heard the bad news of Chief Manager Cao, and wanted to help him come in for the master to bring a pillar of fragrance, but now I think about it, I was so confused that day, I didn't even ask him where he learned about it, but I just thought that Chief Cao died tragically, and someone hung him, so it was difficult to refuse, so I brought him into the mourning hall." When I listened to the words in the chaos, I was shocked to realize that this person had a secret purpose, but everyone had already been provoked, and the chaos was incomparable, so how could there be any trace of that person?"

Lin Jianlan understood at this moment, "Ah", and said: "I understand, I felt that something was wrong when I listened to Brother Yue's words that day, it turned out to be a 'coincidence' word, it happened that you met him to sell books, and it happened that you couldn't get together the silver taels, and it happened that Cao Shujian and his people showed kindness to his family, this, I'm afraid this was originally arranged by Cao Shujian, right? ”

Yue Lingfeng said: "You are right, I should have figured out this truth at that time, but I was always unwilling to delve into it. ”

Lin Jianlan exclaimed again, and said, "Brother Yue, when you were in the main hall, the person you killed, is that him?"

Yue Lingfeng stiffened, and for a moment Fang was extremely aggrieved on the bed, and said, "You actually guessed it...... As soon as we returned to Hangzhou, we learned that the helper had made a gambling contract, and the man didn't know where he came from, and came to the door, saying that he was an old servant of the Cao family, and he knew best what the strength of the Jade Sword Gate was, no matter how Cao Yinyin couldn't win this gamble, I just hoped that I would put the other party a yard when I competed, so that the Jade Sword Gate would not be too embarrassed. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Presumably he also knows that Uncle Qing has always been angry with the person who spoke back then, if you don't agree, he will threaten you to take you and confess." ”

Yue Lingfeng said: "I'm not afraid of his threat, it's just that the helper has been with him to this day, and there are already a few brothers who are always with him, how sad he should be if he learns of such a thing again." If one game is lost, the matter may be buried and no one will be held accountable, and the helper and other brothers will be able to win at least three games. Can ......"

Lin Jianlan was sad when he heard this, and forced himself to laugh and said, "Brother Yue's heart is too real, don't you know that Uncle Qing originally wanted to lose this gamble?"

Yue Lingfeng said: "The helper wants to lose, but it has nothing to do with me, I lose the righteousness of being a man, and what face do I have to live in this world." I hate my book-loving addiction, but what's the sin of books? There are many things that can be figured out just by thinking about them, but I don't want to, I don't think that loving books is not greedy, in fact, what is the difference between those who are greedy for fame and fortune?"

Hearing this, all the clues in Lin Jianlan's mind were quickly assembled and cleaned up, and slowly he just felt that a thought seemed to come up, the clearer it was, the more sad he felt, and then he was choked up and speechless, grabbed Yue Lingfeng's hand and held it tightly, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, and squeezed out a sentence for a while: "Brother Yue, why are you so troubled." ”

A teardrop fell on Yue Lingfeng's hand, he seemed to be burned, although he wanted to break free, but he had no strength, sighed heavily, two lines of blood flowed from the bandaged wound, and Mu Ran said: "Like me, living in the world again, there is neither face nor interest, Lin Gongzi is still so shameful about his father, let alone me? ”

Lin Jianlan wanted to say something, but he felt that he couldn't really say anything, he just felt empty in his heart, let go of Yue Lingfeng's hand in a daze, and wanted to find a place to cry, and walked out of the door silently, the sun shone on his face at once, only to feel a tingling burning in his eyes, he hurriedly covered it with his hand, and forced himself to press it for a long time, Fang held back his tears, looked up, and saw that Lin Longqing had already returned without knowing when, and several other people were looking at him, with both worries and doubts on his face.

Lin Jianlan knew that they were full of questions, and they all expected to answer by themselves, but they didn't know how to answer, but when they saw Lin Longqing throwing a bloodstained package at his feet, he couldn't help but point: "This is ......"

Lin Longqing said solemnly: "It was this guy who colluded with the Imperial Kou Division to kill the lives of several brothers up and down the Luoyang Branch, in exchange for his position in the Imperial Kou Division, but he was also afraid that I would find my head, and he had been hiding for a long time, I had been sending people to investigate in this area before, and finally knew where he usually showed his head, and today he finally avenged the brothers of the Luoyang Branch, which is really happy! What happened to you? I heard that the hall master said that you have been in for a long time, but there is any movement?"

Lin Jianlan was stunned, thinking that Lin Longqing still hated the betrayer, he didn't know how to answer, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Qing...... Uncle Qing, why are you losing?"

Lin Longqing was so surprised, "Ah", walked over, held Lin Jianlan's shoulder and said, "Lan'er, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Yue, he, he blamed himself for the defeat of this gambling game, and blamed himself, in his heart, he naturally became the same person as Qin Tianxiong." How could a little servant-like man hurt him, and his eyes ...... It was originally himself...... Blind ......" was already choked up at this point.

Everyone was shocked and incredulous, Lin Jianlan said: "He has long lost the idea of living, and the fire was also set by himself, he wanted to go with a room of beloved things, but he was rescued by you." ”

Lin Jianlan raised his eyes and saw Lin Longqing standing in front of him, his face was complicated, as if he wanted to stop talking, after a while, Fang turned back and said, "You go down first, Brother Fang, you take a good look at Hall Master Yue, don't let him make any mistakes." ”

Even if Fang Zheng and the others were shocked, they would not fully believe what Lin Jianlan said, and the most crucial points in his words did not explain, to the servant who died in a pool of blood for no reason, why Yue Lingfeng wanted to blind his eyes first, but listening to Lin Longqing's words, his voice was extremely solemn, and no one was allowed to ask more, so he nodded slightly and withdrew one after another.

Lin Longqing sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard and said slowly, "Lan'er, are you blaming me?"

Lin Jianlan raised his head suddenly, stayed for a moment before shaking his head and said, "No, why should I blame Uncle Qing." ”

Lin Longqing smiled and said, "Your expression is the same, you have a very good personal relationship with him, so you blame me for not telling them what I think in time." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "They have all accompanied you to expand the foundation of the gang for many years, and their sincerity is ...... relative" but was interrupted by Lin Longqing: "Even if this incident happened, Lan'er still thinks that they are sincere relative?"

Lin Jianlan was speechless for a moment, only to realize that Lin Longqing had already vaguely guessed the truth about Yue Lingfeng's self-harm, and listened to Lin Longqing again: "Lan'er, you need to know that I and them will never go back to the time of a few years ago, they have received Cao Shujian's great grace, and they have intercepted and chased me, this is an unchangeable fact, even if the truth is revealed later, they feel guilty, but the rift cannot be repaired." Last time, it was Doctor Cheng, this time it was Qin Tianxiong, although the matter of Hall Master Yue was unexpected, it didn't make me feel too incredible, which one will it be next time? ”

Lin Jianlan looked at Lin Longqing carefully, and saw that his face sank like water, even if he removed the disguise at the Kao Festival, he didn't know when there was a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, and he looked so old, all the changes over the years, no wonder he didn't dare to believe in others easily, everything was probably thinking about himself, and he didn't want to share it with outsiders, even himself......

As soon as this thought turned to himself, he heard Lin Longqing say: "You are different, although I don't tell you many things, it's not because I don't even want to believe you, it's just that I know your temperament, and my heart is too soft." ”

Lin Jianlan was just about to argue, Lin Longqing asked, "If you meet and fight against Doctor Cheng, can you kill him ruthlessly?"

Lin Jianlan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I ......" This moment of hesitation has been seen by Lin Longqing, and he is not angry, but only smiled slightly: "It's not that this is not good, but because you are too kind and pay attention to the previous kindness, how can they not be good men with clear grievances, but because of this, they are extremely dangerous." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Longqing chuckled and said: "The ghosts of the old days always seem to be difficult to dissipate, and it is like a few more dark thunders around me, if they are touched, they will hurt me and them." ”

Although his tone was extremely relaxed, and there was a faint smile, Lin Jianlan felt cold all over his body, and he didn't know what to say, Lin Longqing said: "I know that you really want to do something for me, but I want you to stay away from the rivers and lakes after finding out about your parents and finding your grandmother. When you drift away, you can't turn back. ”

Lin Jianlan suddenly remembered Yue Lingfeng's sad emotion of blood and tears, and couldn't help but say: "One wrong step, one wrong step, but Uncle Qing." ”

Lin Longqing nodded gloomily, and said tiredly: "Yue Lingfeng's matter, I didn't want to ask you to come, but the hall master Fang didn't know what to do, thinking that you and him were more speculative, they must let me bring you here." The explanation just now, it's hard for you to still be willing to cover it up for him, and it can be regarded as you living up to your friendship with him. If nothing happens, don't come here casually, I'm always ...... to that Kao Alas, saying this may be unworthy of his kindness to help me many times in the past, but I have never been able to reassure him. ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, turned around and glanced at Yue Lingfeng's house again, his heart was extremely complicated, he walked out a few steps gloomily, turned back again, and saw Lin Longqing still sitting upright on the stone bench, his back was very gloomy, he heard the footsteps behind him and turned around, and saw Lin Jianlan turn around again, he was very surprised, and heard Lin Jianlan say: "I still have something to say to Brother Yue." With that, he walked straight inside.

Lin Longqing knew that although he was honest by nature, he was not a weak person, and he did not have a stubbornness, so he smiled and didn't care about him, just watched him walk in and said a few words to Fang Zheng in a low voice, Fang Zheng walked over with a stunned face and said: "This kid is really strange, and he doesn't want to go in, he just wants to say a few words at the door." ”

Lin Longqing said: "I'm afraid it's because I feel sad after seeing the appearance of Hall Master Yue, don't mention this matter again, can the things and manpower be prepared? ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "It has already been prepared, just listen to the helper's words." But I don't know who stayed to take care of Brother Yue. ”

Lin Longqing looked into the house from afar, only to see that Lin Jianlan had not yet entered, standing through the door, shaking his head and saying, "Let me think about this matter again." ”

Lin Jianlan was facing the door of the house at the moment, his fingers lightly touched the mosha, but he never pushed the door in, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yue, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

Hearing the silence in the room and no one answered, Lin Jianlan said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Yue, for being the only one who is willing to tell me the truth." When Uncle Qing came back, he was still carrying the head of a hall master here, because he exchanged the entire branch hall for his position in the Imperial Kou Division that day, Uncle Qing naturally hated him to the extreme, let alone forgive. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I did not forgive Brother Yue, nor did I not hate it, but although Brother Yue did wrong, he did not cause any regrettable results. To put it mildly, if you hurt Uncle Qing, even if you don't do it yourself, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will seek revenge on you. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Jianlan paused slightly, looked out, Lin Longqing and Fang Zheng talked in a low voice, did not look here, and turned back to the door panel and said: "I hate such a betrayal, and I hate that I have such a father, just as I hate Brother Yue, but I don't need to do anything to you, and I don't plan to forgive you, because you don't want to forgive yourself." It's just that in my heart, from now on, you who are so ugly and uncomfortable will disappear forever. ”

Lin Jianlan walked out of the door, wiped his eyes, and said softly in his heart: "The only one left is the person under the green window." ”
