Chapter Fifty-Eight: Not All Fruits Are Sweet
Can't fool Hong Qingyi to take a mandarin duck bath together, the classmates in the dream have a little regret, at the same time, there is also a little regret, back then, should go to the Northeast to learn some flicker techniques from Teacher ******, in that way, even if you can't get along, you can occasionally fool a few abductors and make a little money to pass the time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, think about it calmly, although the people of this era are hundreds of years behind the civilization, but the wisdom is definitely not inferior to the descendants, in a word, what they lack is only the difference in culture and civilization, not the IQ lost a chip and a half.
And this is also why we feel that today's children are smarter than our previous generation, and they seem to know everything at a young age, because, the main reason, is because they won at the starting line.
Meng was entangled for a while, then quickly stripped off his clothes, and decisively threw his body into the warm pool - uh, since girls need to be quietly shielded after they are naked, boys should also be treated equally, so we need to put aside Dream classmate bathing this part, at the same time, we also have to be very sorry, when Dream entered the bathroom not long after, a very little beautiful woman also went in, and then, we can only quietly close our eyes, prick up our ears, and hear Dream classmate's dreamy whisper:" Hmm, you young lady is so sensible......"
The great sages of Mencius's contemporaries said that they also had color eating.
After completing the two things that show the most nature in life, Meng couldn't help but feel that the long night was long, and how to pass it had become a rather difficult task.
If you are in Jiangnan, it will be easy to do, call Guo Lin, Yu Kang, Huang Yan and them, soak in a nightclub, drink a little wine, and flirt with the little girl.
In the capital, in my impression, there seems to be no familiar people, hey, at this time, I can deeply understand the true meaning of meeting in a foreign country.
Although Hong Qingyi's father is suspended from work and is idle at home, he chats with an old man, not to mention the generation gap of times or ages, the most important thing is that if he gets acquainted with him, and then, one day, he will fulfill his promise to his father-in-law, Lord Helian, and kill him, it seems that acquaintances are not so easy to start.
Hey, since this can't be done, that's not either, classmate Meng had to decide to go back to his old job and kill people.
Dream's preparation was full and rigorous, he neatly buttoned his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, combed his hair, and even applied a thin layer of emollient oil to his face, which felt quite good, of course, in the end, there was also a comparison, well, disgusting Pose.
When classmate Meng was shameless and cool, Hong Qingyi just came in, she couldn't help but be stunned, she was a little messy, with her erudition, she just stayed in the world Only girls like to groom and dress up, dignified and beautiful, is it competing with girls for the favor of heaven and earth?
Meng said: "If I say, go and kill people, do you believe it?"
Hong Qingyi said: "The three young people are imaginative, thinking that others dare not want to do what others dare not do, and they have always seemed to be heretical, which is not surprising." What makes the little woman strange is that it is more difficult to convince the little woman, the little woman has never heard of the need to kill people so grandly when she is young. β
Meng Zhengse said: "When there is a day when you meet an enemy worthy of your respect, you will be strict in your manners and bearing before making a move in order to respect your enemy. Besides......"
Meng sighed softly: "Everyone's life should be respected. Originally, no one had the right to deprive others of their lives, including the sanctions of the law. It's just that if some people make mistakes, they have to be punished accordingly. Therefore, while we respect life, we also need to fulfill the responsibility of life supervision, and whoever makes a mistake needs to be punished. β
Hong Qingyi frowned slightly, but he was also very helpless, nodded and said: "Xia, it is forbidden to violate the law with martial arts. However, there are many people in the world, after committing a crime, but they can pass through the law that pays attention to evidence and get away with it. Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why chivalry can still exist under the collision with the law. β
Meng snapped his fingers and said, "Clever!"
Hong Qingyi looked at him as he was about to leave, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of person can make the third young man respect and murderous?"
Meng replied, "Tomorrow, read the newspaper." β
"Reading the newspaper?" Hong Qingyi was confused, "What is a 'newspaper'?"
Yume-san didn't answer, he had already walked out of the room and left.
If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.
Fu Gongwei is such a person.
He came from a very low background, and when he was young, the war spread to his village, and in the war, both parents died, and he became an orphan.
In the rough and difficult life of being displaced, he endured all the hardships in order to survive. He worked as a temporary dock porter, served dishes and washed dishes for restaurants, worked as a mourning filial son, and later experienced a long period of begging career. Although life tortured him so much, he never compromised.
He was extremely strong-willed, and he believed that man, to live, was to be responsible for life. To live, you can be as low as mud because of life, but to live, you must have noble ideals and ambitions.
What is Noble?
Noble is not to wear a set of expensive clothes, wear a thick gold necklace around your neck, wear ten or eight gold bracelets on your wrists, and wear more than ten carats of gold diamonds on your ten fingers, you will become a tall and noble person.
If all they have in their minds is a flood of vulgar desires, then they are basically no different from a pet dog that is lucky enough to be wrapped in brocade by its owner, at best, it is just an upstart.
Noble is the accumulation of bones, which includes their unremitting pursuit of life, unswerving belief and profound cultivation, just like an old wine, with the condensation of time and slowly exude a kind of personality charm.
Fu Gongwei's consistent pursuit of life finally touched a person, Mu Lingdao.
Mu Lingdao is an inner attendant, well, to put it mildly, a eunuch.
Hugh was to underestimate a eunuch, the one closest to the circle of central power. In particular, Mu Lingdao is a deputy director of ceremonies, and he can be said to be a close attendant of the emperor's side.
With people, what is the main thing?
Communicate!
Mu Lingdao followed the emperor's side, and naturally communicated more easily than most officials.
Although, since Qin II because of the eunuch Zhao Gao rebellion and sounded the alarm bell to the court, and repeatedly made it clear that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in court affairs, however, the emperor controlled the general trend of the whole country in the court, in addition to the daily morning court meeting to solve some affairs, more to approve various reports from all over the country, a diligent emperor, often after the meeting, almost all day by day to bury his head in the case, review the chapters, during this period, many pieces need to be perfected classification and sorting, the eunuch is his closest assistantγ
Although Mu Lingdao is not yet a close attendant of the dragon case today, he can often wander around the emperor.
And because the celebrant is generally more familiar with the people's life, he can occasionally talk to him about some topics about the people's feelings.
The mouth of the emperor is Chrysostom. Those who can obtain the emperor's golden mouth have naturally been greatly improved.
The ministers of civil and military affairs are not stupid, of course they understand that the people around the big boss, even if they are an aunt who cleans, they must not be easily offended.
The people around the boss may not be able to help you much, but if you want to step on you, you can usually do it easily.
Therefore, above the imperial court, except for some proud Mongolian officials and another type of Han generals who broke out of the iron-blooded sand battlefield, the rest of the officials, big and small, gave him Mu Lingdao's face.
Face is given by others, and people are lost by themselves.
Mu Lingdao was not proud and arrogant because he had won the attention of many people, he knew that in the deepest court in the whole day, if someone caught a flaw, it would not only be a shame, but a loss of life!
While walking on thin ice, Mu Lingdao quietly cultivated his own power.
Of course, to be a boss and start a business operation, you must first have funds. Although many officials hope to give him some money in exchange for him to say a few good words in the emperor's ear, it is undoubtedly far from a drop in the bucket for the group forces that he needs to consolidate and maintain.
After all, the dreamer is weak in the north, especially in the deep background of the temple without the shade of big trees, and it is difficult to get a piece of the pie at the feet of the Son of Heaven where high-ranking officials and giants gather!
It just so happened that Mu Lingdao took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and there was no doubt that it was simply a pillow that was sent by sleep. One side needs funds to start, one side needs power protection, a win-win mode of operation, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse. Now, hit it off.
Naturally, in the private business, it is impossible for Mu Lingdao to show up and say that the joy of officials going to the sea to pan for gold on a part-time basis is publicly shared, even if there are some things that everyone knows, they can only be tacitly rotten in the stomach.
Mu Lingdao needs a person to represent his operations in the people.
Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared.
After several tests, he fell in love with Fu Gongwei.
Overnight, Fu Gongwei went from a penniless down-and-out man to a big boss of a money bank that resounded throughout the capital, and many people were very surprised. The most surprising thing is that Fu Gongwei was only twenty-nine years old back then.
In the early days, many people were skeptical that such a young boy could support such a huge business house in the intertwined capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
However, soon, they saw that Fu Gongwei's decisive style and far-sighted wisdom convinced everyone.
For example, because it is difficult to turn over funds for a while, and must complete the task within the time limit required by the customer, someone finds Fu Gongwei and begs for a loan, but Xiaofu does not want any interest, so he borrows the money. The borrower was grateful, and after overcoming the difficulties, he not only repaid the money as soon as possible, but also took the initiative to pay the interest, and even negotiated some other business with Xiaofu.
Naturally, there are also people who want to fish in troubled waters, and after borrowing money from Xiaofu, not only do they not pay it back within the return period, but they even eat and drink in the most prosperous restaurant in the capital, and have a good time in the fireworks place, as if they want to wait and see the bottom line of Xiaofu.
Where Xiaofu's bottom line is, no one knows, but I just know that the old man who didn't pay the debt was still holding a beautiful pink head in the early hours of that night, but the next morning, someone saw his body at the foot of the Great Wall.
The deceased was not a simple person, the family foundation was not thin, and the connections in the capital should also be very extensive, and at least a few waves of people at noon that day gave a very strict ultimatum to Xiaofu, either to compensate a huge amount of money, or to wait to be hanged.
The last deadline is dusk of the same day.
At dusk that day, someone saw Xiao Fu climbing the Great Wall alone to watch the sunset.
After dusk, no one saw the family members of the deceased come to the bank to carry out the contents of their ultimatum.
It wasn't until the next day that people learned that yesterday, before dusk, dozens of members of the deceased's family had died cleanly.
Xiaofu seems to be telling everyone on the Great Wall: I can give you help without any interest, but you must not think that I am a good deceitful person, deceive me, then you have to pay the price!
To be able to uproot a small family in such a short period of time, I know what kind of tremendous power is needed in this.
At that time, the first thing that came to people's minds was his backstage Mu Lingdao father-in-law.
However, according to people familiar with the matter, Mu Lingdao's father-in-law did not know about this matter from beginning to end, so he did not intervene in it.
So, who's behind it?
Then, people remembered that Xiaofu's money village was playing the signboard of Jiangnan Dreamer, at this time, it finally made people understand one thing, Dreamer, not only blooming everywhere in Jiangnan, but also showing the banner of Dreamer in the northern sky.
At this point, even if people are stupid enough to go to their grandmother's house, they also know that the bloody case at dusk is related to the dreamer, and at the same time, they have also seen the horror of the dreamer's power.
Of course, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if such a big bloody case occurs, the public security department and the judicial department must intervene, but under the intervention of Mu Lingdao's father-in-law, the so-called investigation is only a matter of passing the scene, and it will not be solved in the end.
From this incident, people have read a message: Xiaofu's "Tonghui Money Bank" is definitely not a casual person who can casually fish in troubled waters and exploit loopholes to find cheap.
Now, the thirty-six-year-old Fu Gongwei is not very old, at least, in this industry, it is rare to be able to control such a large scale of operation, but "small payment" is already a name in the past, and now, people respectfully call him "big boss Fu".
Boss Fu goes to Jiangnan several times a year, which is to report to the old man Mengjia to report the quarterly or annual operating results.
Every time he stayed in Jiangnan, the three young men of the Mengjia family always took him to the Fengyue place to go crazy, and the old man Meng didn't think he was angry.
Old Man Meng is also an enlightened person, after all, Fu Gongwei is a young man, and young people must have the vigor of young people.
In fact, Old Man Meng has a deeper meaning in his heart, because he knows that his son is very proud, and there are not many people who can enter his sight, in other words, Fu Gongwei can be recognized by his son, which is not simple. At the same time, he hopes that through his son's friendship with Fu Gongwei, the cooperative relationship between them can be further consolidated.
Obviously, the intimate relationship between Fu Gongwei and Sanshao made Old Man Dream see the desired results.
The operation of the capital is very successful, and the huge profits are almost equal to one-sixth of the total operating profits of the entire business empire of the dreamers!
In the past few years, Fu Gongwei has diversified the model, and the industries involved have been fan-shaped radiation, whether it is the construction industry or the transportation industry, he has to intervene, not to mention leisure such as hotels and casinos, so he was not only appointed as the general agent of the capital, but even, in modern language, he is the chief CEO of North China.
Generally speaking, he should feel very relieved and proud to have reached the successful step that ordinary people can hardly dream of at such a young age, and at the very least, he should be very happy to share his joy with the people he loves the most.
However, Zhao Ju clearly felt that as her husband's career grew bigger and bigger, and his fame and fortune became more and more extensive, the smile on his face was decreasing day by day. Zhao Ju is a relatively conservative woman, she obeys the three obedience and four virtues of the women's Taoist family, never asks about her husband's affairs, but silently pours tea and water for her husband on the side, and always appears by his side when her husband needs her most. They have a five-year-old son.
The child was very well-behaved, and after dinner, he went into the study to do the homework assigned by the teacher. Zhao Ju wanted to sit quietly with her husband in the living room, Fu Gongwei took a sip of the tea made by his daughter-in-law, and when he put down the tea cup, his eyes slowly moved to the window, and there was snow outside the window.
Snow, cold.
Fu Gongwei's voice was almost colder than the snow outside: "Ju, you go and accompany the child to do homework." β
Zhao Ju was slightly stunned, the warmth in his stomach seemed to be splashed by a basin of cold water, although he was very uncomfortable, he didn't say anything, just hummed softly, got up and left.
Fu Gongwei's eyes are very complicated, there are loss, sadness, helplessness, and more, endless attachment.
He looked back at his wife's beautiful figure gradually moving away, and suddenly felt a heart-rending pain in his heart.
With a soft sigh, a figure appeared in the doorway and stopped.
Fu Gongwei barely turned around to see who the uninvited guest was, he already seemed to know, and said softly: "Three Shao." β
Yume-san stood still.
Fu Gongwei had no choice but to stand up by himself, but he didn't mean to be familiar with each other, but walked towards the door.
Meng also turned around and walked away, walked out of the courtyard, walked out of the gate of Fu's house, and was still walking.
Fu Gongwei didn't say a word, and followed silently.
Brush brush -
In the soft sound of crispy snow, one footprint after another fell.
At night in the capital, there are not many pedestrians in the middle of the night, but there are still so many people who meet them, and they greet Boss Fu very affectionately, and Boss Fu nods with a smile.
After half an hour, they came to a relatively deserted alley and stood under an old locust tree. Classmate Meng turned around and said, "Brother Fu, what have you seen along the way?"
A "Brother Fu" made Fu Gongwei recall the days when they had indulged in wine and pride in Jiangnan, and his heart was sour, and he said softly: "Sanshao, you, do you still call me big brother?"
Meng nodded and said, "If I call you big brother for one day, you will always be my big brother." β
"Butβ" Fu Gongwei smiled miserably, "It's a pity that I'm no longer worthy." β
He looked up at the long string of footprints left by the snow along the way, and said sadly: "I know that a person's life, after coming over, always has to leave some indelible traces, and even, there are some traces, even if our lives are completely gone, they still can't be healed." However, there are too many variables in life, so that when I can't resist it, I have to reluctantly accept it. β
Meng looked at him and said lightly, "Why?"
Fan Fu Gongwei shook his head and said, "Sanshao, don't ask me why." If you still think of me as a big brother, then big brother has only one request. β
Classmate Meng took a deep breath, then sighed softly and said, "Sister-in-law and nephew, leave it to me." β
"Thank you. Fu Gongwei took out an account book from his arms, handed it to classmate Meng, and said solemnly: "Since the beginning of this plan, I knew that there would be this day, but, unexpectedly, the person who came was the third young you." β
Meng took the account book and said, "Big brother, you can tell me first, and I will find a way." β
Fu Gongwei shook his head and said, "The old fox of Mu Lingdao had already cast a shackle for me, and he supported the matchmaker to tell me that he was a daughter-in-law and asked me to marry a wife and have children, so he had the scruples of binding me to resist." Although I later understood his intentions, it was as if I was suffering from a terminal illness and had to follow his plan. β
Classmate Meng's eyes flashed, and he said, "So, sister-in-law's ......"
Fu Gongwei hurriedly said: "You can rest assured that your sister-in-law is this person, perhaps, the old fox of Mu Lingdao is afraid that I will see something suspicious from my daughter-in-law, so he did not interfere in the arrangement." β
Meng exhaled softly, he is not a good man and a woman, if anyone threatens the safety of the Meng family, even if it is a weak woman, he will definitely not be soft.
Burst!
Fu Gongwei's wrist flipped, showing a dagger for self-defense, and then inserted it into his heart.
Meng closed his eyes gently, his nose was sore, and he whispered softly: "Mu Lingdao, you will pay a price you can't afford for your selfishness." β
When he opened his eyes, Fu Gongwei had already fallen on the snow, dead of anger.
Several figures flew over, it was a few middle-aged men in black robes, they didn't look at Fu Gongwei on the ground, they never cared more about the betrayer.
Several people respectfully hugged their fists at Classmate Meng, and said in unison: "I've seen Sanshao." β
Classmate Meng nodded slightly, and said: "Bury my eldest brother's body alive, his wife and children must be protected, and no one is allowed to harass him. β
A man frowned slightly, and said, "But, Sanshao, he is a person from Mu Lingdao....."
Meng said coldly: "Do you listen to you now, or listen to me, huh?"
The man was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Of course listen to the third young man." β
Meng shook his wrist, and a page of paper appeared, saying: "The people in this, you all find them out for me one by one, as for the manpower problem, my second brother will bring people over the day after tomorrow, and you must cooperate well." β
Everyone responded: "Don't worry, Sanshao, we know how to do it." β
Meng didn't speak, looked down at Fu Gongwei's corpse on the ground, his eyes revealed a trace of deep sadness, and finally, full of regret and helplessness, he sighed softly, moving his heavy steps, slowly, step by step.
The night sky, drifting in the snow.
A burning fire and anger seemed to be surging in the heart of the dream classmate.
He can tolerate being betrayed and even betrayed by his friends and brothers, but if their betrayal and betrayal are because they are helplessly coerced, he hates even more people who coerce them behind the scenes!
Wood Spirit Dao!
Classmate Meng couldn't wait to break into the palace immediately, pull Mu Lingdao out, and dismantle eight pieces.
However, Yume-san was quick to discourage his impulse.
His anger was definitely not something that could be quelled by Mu Lingdao alone.
Don't forget, Mr. Dream used to be a top killer, a killer, who knows better than most people how to make a person's most relaxed and happy death, and also knows how to make a person's most painful death - there is no doubt that the saddest death is that the spirit is destroyed little by little, in all kinds of torture, and then in the long torment, slowly die.
Over the years, Mu Lingdao has built up his own power group through various means, like an octopus stretching out his tentacles to penetrate into all levels.
What Meng wants to do is to gradually cut off his tentacles, and then let him carefully taste the fruits of his single-handedness in the midst of mental destruction.
Meng is ready to tell him with facts that in the world, not all fruits are sweet, and sometimes, the results are bitter.
