In the convertible jeep, Bai Tou was driving and Uncle Sun was sitting behind the wheel.
In the back row are Lu Ming and He Mojun, with Yaya sitting in the middle.
Following the jeep was a sidecar motorcycle, ridden by Lei Bao, Heifeng and Zhao.
Lu Ming specially brought the magic poker from Pirlo and performed magic tricks on Yaya, making Yaya laugh all the way.
It is more than 70 miles from Sansha Town to Jingyang Town. The dirt road is very bumpy and the car cannot drive very fast. It takes nearly an hour to arrive.
Jingyang Town is a small town at the foot of the mountain. In the distance, there are deep mountains and dense forests, and there are many mountains and mountains. The darkness of the mountains is so deep that you can't see the end at a glance.
The Guo family's mansion has three courtyards and a deep courtyard. It is completely different from the house of an old squire to the nouveau riche like Brigadier Hu.
But it felt like a pot was boiling inside, and it was very lively.
Guo Youxi, the second son of the Guo family, and his wife were making a big fuss. A high-pitched female voice pierced people's eardrums by saying "Old fool" repeatedly. People outside the hospital could hear clearly. It must be Guo Youxi's wife, scolding and scolding her husband.
Guo Youdong's family, who ran away with money, even blamed his father-in-law and mother-in-law, directly blaming them as "old fools" and "old fools".
"Go to my parents first!" He Mojun was helpless.
"Ah, I came here empty-handed." Lu Ming then remembered that He Mojun had told her to bring her parents here as well. She was an only child, so it was very convenient to pick her parents up.
"It doesn't matter, just don't write the check."
Lu Ming smiled, but in fact, this sister-in-law has not changed much, she is still as sharp and sharp as ever, and can't be ignored.
There is a grocery store in the town. Lu Ming went to buy four-color gifts, which were snacks, two bottles of liquor, a pack of candies and a few packs of cigarettes. However, the snacks seemed to be made by someone in the town, and the liquor was also trademarked.
No, the candies were even more expired. Some of the candies were collapsed, and the cigarettes were not in strips and were tied together with hemp ropes.
This is already the best gift I chose, and it cost 5 cents in total.
In Donghai, buying a four-color gift for 5 cents is much more respectable than this. Inconvenient transportation and lack of supplies make the prices of non-essential consumer goods higher in areas with extremely low incomes.
Lu Ming could only shake his head while carrying the four-color snacks.
He Mojun's parents live in a small courtyard not far from the Guo family's mansion. The brick-walled house is quite conspicuous in the small town.
When they saw Lu Ming, He's father and mother were filled with shame. They called him "Third Young Master" and complained repeatedly that their daughter was not living up to expectations, that she was unworthy of the Lu family and that her family was in disgrace.
He Mojun had been hiding for a long time. She seemed to know what her parents would say when they saw Lu Ming. Moreover, the Guo family was in chaos, so she naturally wanted to go back and take a look.
Lu Ming had no impression of his father and mother at all, but the old couple recognized him the first time they saw him. Now they are like two criminals. They may even be wondering why their daughter brought her brother-in-law here. This is shameful.
Someone else?
Lu Ming felt even more helpless. When he saw Yaya watching him eagerly, he took out the playing cards again. Yaya immediately cheered.
On the way, Liu Jingtang came over and reported on the situation of taking over the coal mine.
He was scolded badly by his old friends, and even circumcised, so he felt a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it because of his duty.
"Third Young Master, did you buy the Guo family's mine?" Father He heard the words. After Liu Jingtang left, he hesitated and asked when he came to pour water for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded, "Yes, but it's no problem to leave a well for the Guo family to maintain their current life." He kept telling his father and mother that he could call his third son or A Ming, but
They had no choice but to call themselves Third Young Master.
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Father He sighed softly and said nothing more.
It was almost dinner time when He Mojun came back.
"Did you ask someone to go to the mountains?" Lu Ming asked.
He Mojun was stunned: "Are you serious?"
On the way to Jingyang Town, Lu Ming asked He Mojun to find someone to deliver the message to the mountains and meet Hei Laoliu.
He Mojun thought Lu Ming was joking.
Lu Ming said: "Of course, since I'm here in Jingyang, I just want to meet him. Besides, it's better to resolve the matter quickly than to delay it."
He Mojun looked at his parents and said to Lu Ming, "Let's go to the wing to talk." He then said, "Dad, Mom, please watch a little bit."
The east chamber was very tidy. After entering, He Mojun stared at Lu Ming with his beautiful eyes: "Do you know how many people there are in Hei Lao Liu and how many gunmen there are?"
Lu Ming nodded: "There are more than three hundred people, and the real number of people who have guns is forty or fifty."
He Mojun looked at his expression and asked: "Although Hei Laoliu has never done anything to massacre villages, burn, kill, and loot, if it doesn't go his way, he is no more merciful than Lao Jackal's gang, you know?"
Lu Ming smiled: "His so-called benevolence and righteousness are based on others obeying the rules he set. He does not charge arbitrarily. He always decides the amount of the so-called protection fee as appropriate so that others can pay it, such as sending someone to me.
There, it is said that one thousand a month, but in fact, for the general coal boss, in order to seek peace, he will give it to him. If he does not give it to him, it seems that he does not know how to appreciate him. His next revenge will be felt by others.
Of course."
"So, his benevolence and righteousness are just an illusion. He is very shrewd, or he has a good dog-headed strategist."
He Mojun frowned slightly, "City police force, have you communicated well?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "No need, I brought an armed force. Since Hei Laoliu is a shrewd man, then talking to him is a way out for him. I hope he is really shrewd and not only abides by his own rules.
I know the rules, but sometimes I have to abide by the rules set by others.”
He Mojun looked at Lu Ming with surprise in his eyes. There was a hint in this brother-in-law's words that he was here to make rules.
After not seeing each other for several years, this brother-in-law seems to be a completely different person, completely different from his original self.
If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, you might really doubt that the brother-in-law in front of you is a mountain spirit or some other ghost.
Lu Ming raised his head and smiled: "Sister-in-law, I have the impression that when you went to college, you also studied law, right? After the honeymoon, you were clamoring to go out to work, but in the end you didn't go... In my family, there was no such thing at that time
enlightened."
He Mojun sighed: "It's all in the past, what are you talking about?"
"Okay, sister-in-law, you can ask someone to go to the mountains. I will write a letter and take it with you. I will invite Mr. Hei Liu to come to Jingyang Town tomorrow if he is free. In addition, I have to ask someone to go to the county overnight.
."
He Mojun nodded: "Since you have a plan in mind, I will ask someone to do it, but Sanzi, you really have to think carefully. There are no good men or women among the bandits in the mountains."
Lu Ming smiled: "I know."
He Mojun stood up and walked to the door to save himself. "For dinner, Nan's father wants to invite you to his house. Maybe he still has some hope. I think you should eat here and stay here tonight."
I don't know why, but in front of this former brother-in-law, I can't say anything like "family man" anymore.
Lu Ming nodded: "Well, I'll be here." The relationship is too messy, and it would be really awkward to dine at Guo's house.
