Dusk, in the suburbs.
Two people, two horses.
"I'll send it here." After leaving the city, Jiang Muchan stopped after walking for several miles.
Upon hearing this, Gong Jingyi immediately grabbed the reins, turned his horse's head, and looked at Jiang Muchan: "Brother Jiang..." At this moment, he wanted to say but stopped, and wanted to stop, "Before, I... offended everyone from Hunyuan Star Gate..."
"Oh~" Jiang Muchan knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted, "It's all over, let's not talk about it."
He was right.
Everyone is a child of the world, and there is a lot of things that you don’t need to say, just understand it in your heart.
Moreover, on the way out of the city, Gong Jingyi had already asked Jiang Muchan why he helped him. Jiang Muchan also told Gong Jingyi truthfully that he was just repaying his kindness to Mr. Gong on behalf of his master. What he actually did was just "helping him and sending him off", which was just a small task.
"By the way, in your bag, in addition to Brother Sun's money, there is also a small bottle of elixir prepared by Brother Huang himself. Take one pill every day to heal faster." Before leaving, Jiang Muchan reminded again, "How to go in the future depends on yourself. We have a way in the world, and we will meet again if we have the fate."
After saying that, he clasped his fists and fared away with Gong Jingyi, pulled his horse's head and went back to the city.
So far, for Jiang Muchan, it was a promise he had made to his master.
And Gong Jingyi, who was already alone, was just as Xiao Jiang said, and wherever he went from now on, it was all up to his own ambitions.

The words are divided into two ends.
That night, the Zhenyun Gang residence was stationed.
"Two nephews, let's see you now." Looking at the "small profits" that Shuangxie delivered to her door, Zu Tingfeng was a little at a loss.
"Uncle Shi is polite. This is just a little bit of our younger generation's feelings. To be filial to elders, this is what you deserve. Besides..." Huang Donglai said this slightly, his tone changed slightly, "This is also what my father meant... I hope Uncle Shi will not refuse again."
"Well..." Zu Tingfeng pondered and nodded, "Okay, then Zu will accept the kindness of Brother Huang and his nephew."
"Haha... it's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about." Huang Donglai also showed a hypocritical smile when he saw the other party coming up.
After Zu Tingfeng sent someone to take the gifts out of the hall and put them in tea, the two sides exchanged a few more greetings.
After a while, Zu Tingfeng felt the atmosphere was good, so he said in a joke-like tone at the right time: "Two nephews, you two... it's hard to invite them. Zu didn't even want to greet you before, but he didn't expect you to come to your door today."
"Uh...hehe..." Huang Donglai knew that Zu Tingfeng's words meant to blame, so he immediately laughed, "When Uncle Shi laughed, we were pulled to investigate this "longtou case" by the government... To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to being roasted on the fire.
"If we come to Guangzhou, we will go to your mansion, then the relationship between the Huang family and the Zhenyun Gang... If there is someone outsider who can speak or not listen, it will be detrimental to you, right?
"So, in order to avoid suspicion, we can only alienate you.
"At present, the matter has been settled, so we don't need to avoid it anymore, so Xiaoke and Brother Sun came to apologize."
Huang Donglai's words are half true and half false. To put it bluntly, it is an excuse, but logically speaking, they are also perfect.
The key is that this statement coincides with some of the conclusions that Zu Tingfeng had conjectured on the night of "inviting God"...
Can the leader of the Zu Gang still not believe it?
People have this problem. When something others say is consistent with your previous guess, you will have a sense of accomplishment that you are "right" and you will be willing to believe... What that person said is right.
"Hahaha..." So Zu Tingfeng was also happy at that time, "Where are you saying this? You two are thinking about me, why are you guilty? Zu is just a joke. Come on... drink tea, drink tea."
As soon as he responded, the matter was revealed.
After that, the two sides had a great chat. Sun Yixie also took the opportunity to flatter the leader of the Zu Gang, which was considered to have "get a good relationship" with each other. Maybe they can use each other in the future.
After a while, when Huang Donglai saw that the time was ripe, he finally brought the topic to the main thing: "Uncle Shi, today... In fact, in addition to giving gifts and treating me, I also have a handwritten letter from Father Feng..." As he said, he reached into his arms, "Before I left, he told me to hand it over to you personally."
"Oh?" Zu Tingfeng said this, although he had a relaxed and casual expression on his face, he knew in his heart that this was Huang Donglai's real purpose.
The two of them sat not far away. After a breath, Zu Tingfeng reached out to take the envelope from Huang Donglai, and took it apart and looked at it.
During the process of observing his faith, Sun and Huang also looked at him with their own eyes and observed the changes in their expressions.
"Well..." Zu Tingfeng quickly finished reading the letter, looked back at Huang Donglai without any hesitation, and asked, "Nephew, do you know the content of this letter?"
"Xin, Dongzi has never read it, but the general meaning of this letter is that my father told me before going out." Huang Donglai answered like a stream, without any flaws, "Anyway..." He paused, smiled at Zu Tingfeng, lowered his voice, "Everything is the same..."
"Hahaha..." At this point, Zu Tingfeng also smiled knowingly, "Well, Zu also means that... everything is the same..."
What are they talking about now?
The secret is that the Huang family and Zhenyungang cooperated with private salt trading.
As for whether he had read the letter, Huang Donglai was lying, actually he had read the letter, and he had read more than one letter...
A month ago, when he just received the Longtou Death, Mr. Huang wrote three letters overnight, all in front of Huang Donglai. When he wrote, he also met his son several versions of the remarks on the spot.
In other words... they made three-hand preparations.
If Zu Tingfeng chose the leader, then Huang Donglai would show him the first letter and make some concessions on the cooperation conditions; if Zu Tingfeng did not choose the leader, then Huang Donglai would show him the second letter, which is the current letter with the theme of "everything is the same as before".
If Zu Tingfeng was confirmed to be the murderer who killed Mr. Gong, then Huang Donglai would show the third letter... Of course, this third letter was not for Zu Tingfeng, but for the person who replaced Zu Tingfeng.
Even if Zu Tingfeng dies, it doesn’t matter. The Huang family will work with the new leader of the Zhenyun Gang.
After all, you who do private salt transactions are nothing more than the leader of the gang, and the local snake "Shuzhong Huangmen" who has nearly 30% of the salt resources is the iron-clad master.
How to send these three letters and confirm the future division of interests of this business is the main purpose of Huang Dong's trip to Guangzhou.
…………
The conversation was divided into three parts, and it was also this night...
When the night was getting dark, Ah Qi returned home.
Today, Ah Yi was very tired, but he felt it was worth it.
The older ones have now been framed by him and everyone thinks that the older ones have killed Uncle Deng and seized the Dragon Head Stick.
Let the government go and review it slowly. Anyway, they can't judge anything. It is precisely because they can't judge anything. After the review, even if this person can still come out alive, he will probably be ruined.
Although the Fish Head Mark is at the top of the dragon, it is a hidden danger after all. In addition, his strength is not stable enough, so there is still a turning point in this matter.
When the time is right, Ah will take out the things as a "hero who takes back the dragon head stick". At that time, even if he can't be the dragon head, he will at least be able to use the stick to discuss the conditions with the fish head tag and change to the leader of the dragon gate gang to sit.
Thinking of this, Ah Qi admired himself a little...
Therefore, he was in a very good mood tonight, and he planned to go see his son first and then go to rest.
People are all complicated. Although Lin Huaiyi is not a good person outside, he is a good husband and a good father at home.
His wife died early, leaving only one son. After many years, Ah Ya never remarried and cared about her son very much.
Ah Ji never thought about letting his son go his own way, but instead hired a good teacher for his son to teach him how to read and read, and to make him pass the exam.
This year, his son is also thirteen or fourteen years old.
No matter how tired he is when he is busy and busy outside every day, as long as Ah Yi can go home to sleep, he will definitely go to the study room to see his son who is reading at night before going to bed, and have a few more or less chat.
Tonight, the same is true.
Ah Ji's mansion was not small. He walked through the yard twice before coming to the study accompanied by a servant carrying a lantern (actually, he was a younger brother, because he had no fame and fortune).
In the past, Ah Ya, as the head of the family, didn't knock on the door when he entered his son's room, and he just pushed it in.
But today, he walked to the door and suddenly stopped.
Because when he stood there, he suddenly smelled... there seemed to be a little bloody smell in the crack of the door.
At this moment, Ah Qi's mind was completely confused.
He was a very calm and cruel person, and he was also a person who was used to blood.
But when he realized that something might have happened to his son, he was in a panic like an ordinary person.
It must be explained here that Ah Yi’s mansion is not without a guardian, but those people are not very powerful and can at most be guarded against ordinary thieves.
Of course, generally speaking, this is enough.
Because both the Green Forest and the Jianghu have the rules that "misfortunes are not as good as the family". Unless that family belongs to the "family business" and all members are from the Jianghu/Green Forest, those who break this rules will be despised by the people of the world.
Ah Ji's son is obviously not a man in the green forest. He is just an ordinary young master who has been studying for several years. If he takes action against him, it will definitely be a "disaster disaster to his family."
Ah Ji never expected that someone else would do this kind of thing that even he could not do.
Two seconds later, Ah Yi pushed open the study door in front of him with his trembling hands with his trembling hands.
As a result, no miracle happened.
What caught his eye was the cruel reality.
His son had fallen on the desk, in a pool of blood, and had already stopped breathing.
Ah's eyes widened, his first reaction was to turn around suddenly and try to call someone.
But when he turned around, he saw another terrible scene. A "headless man" was standing behind him with a lantern.
If a person has no head, he will not be able to survive or stand.
So the little brother of Ah Ya didn't stand for too long.
He was able to stand there in a headless state for a few seconds, just because the person who chopped his head took action very quickly...
And this person who took action very quickly, his next goal is Ah.
scold
Just as Ah Qi was about to scream, his right shoulder was suddenly grabbed by someone, and then a cold blade stabbed into Ah Qi's abdomen, causing his shouts to choke again.
These few seconds were extremely long for Ah.
He felt cold.
The coldness embraced by death.
In a trance, he could no longer tell... whether it was his heartache or his intestines that were being stirred more painful.
At this time, the murderer's face was clearly reflected in Ah's pupils.
"You..." Ah looked at the person in front of him, regret and despair surged in his heart.
"Mr. Ji, do you still remember me, Liu Huaqiang?" Liu Huaqiang looked at Ah Qi with a cold face and said slowly in a sarcastic tone, "Brother, I'll repay you for your previous 'god of taking in'."
Ah, speechless.
The retribution in front of him is undoubtedly one of the sins he has done himself...
When Ah Qi was fighting for the lead and trying to win over Liu Huaqiang, the "Hengzhou people slaughtered", he should have thought of this day.
From Liu Huaqiang's perspective, he had done his best whether he was a "fake of the title" or a battle in a restaurant, and he was not sorry for Ah, but when he was captured alive by Bai Zhulong, Ah sold him without hesitation.
If this revenge is not avenged, can he still call Liu Huaqiang?
Not only did he want to avenge Ah, but he also wanted to complete it in the most painful way for the other party.
So, the scene in front of me...
In fact, with Liu Huaqiang's martial arts, one sword is enough to attack and kill Ah.
But he felt that the way of cutting off the head with one knife was too cheap for the other party to die before he could understand what was going on. He wanted the other party to first witness the tragic death of his only relative, and then slowly feel what "heartbroken" means, and finally die, and then relieve his anger.
And Ah, who killed Deng Bo, robbed himself, and blamed him more... It was a big deal. He thought that after tonight, he would turn defeat into victory, but then he could do something big, but unexpectedly, he died at this moment, here... he died at the hands of a crazy man who ignored the consequences due to personal grudges.
This is
The whole cycle of fortune has always been
Retribution reveals good and evil.
Trust is the original master,
Why use mechanisms in life?
Of course, sometimes, the fortune of heaven is driven by humans.
