"Dean Leng, are you going against me?" Long Xiaolin looked at Leng Rufeng with cold eyes.
Leng Rufeng shook his head: "I never thought about going against Mr. Hou! I just told a few truths in a matter-of-fact way. Ma Xiaoyao is my apprentice, so I naturally want to defend him. If Mr. Hou insists on making things difficult for him, then
I can only offend Mr. Hou."
"Offended me? Do you have the strength?" Long Xiaolin curled his lips disdainfully.
"I don't have this strength, but others do." Leng Rufeng said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Long Xiaolin narrowed his eyes.
"I know Vice President Tao of Imperial City College. If I tell Vice President Tao what happened today, do you think he will help me get justice?" Leng Rufeng said.
"Vice President Tao?" Long Xiaolin's face changed slightly. There is indeed a Vice President named Tao in Imperial City College. His full name is Tao Dewang. He is an eighth-level warrior and enjoys the title of County King. This Tao Dewang has a very explosive temper.
, and he is very protective. If anyone dares to bully him, he will definitely retaliate severely! Long Xiaolin thinks that he cannot afford to offend Tao Dewang.
Leng Rufeng had no choice but to move out of Tao Dewang. In fact, his relationship with Tao Dewang was very ordinary. He moved Tao Dewang out just to scare Long Xiaolin. If Long Xiaolin didn't accept this, Leng Rufeng would have no choice but to bite the bullet.
Go ask Tao Dewang. Whether Tao Dewang will take care of this matter is beyond Leng Rufeng's control.
"Okay! Very good!" Long Xiaolin nodded heavily: "Leng Rufeng, I will remember you! The mountains and rivers will change, we will see!" Long Xiaolin was still frightened, and before leaving,
, Long Xiaolin glared at Ma Xiaoyao fiercely: "I won't let this matter be settled like this! Don't let me find the evidence, otherwise I will definitely let you die miserably!" With a harsh word, Long Xiaolin
Lin led his son and left angrily. He originally came to ask questions, but in the end he was scared away by Leng Rufeng, which was really embarrassing.
"Master..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Leng Rufeng.
"Go to my room and talk." Leng Rufeng turned around and went upstairs.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by someone.
"Mr. Ma, someone asked me to bring you a letter." A young man with an ordinary appearance handed a sealed letter to Ma Xiaoyao, and then left the inn without looking back.
"Letter? Who will write to me?" Ma Xiaoyao opened the letter and saw that it was written by Han Mingguang, the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner. He told him to be careful of Zhennan Hou and his son. Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "Han Mingguang is quite concerned about this.
My...it's a pity that this letter came a little late..." If Ma Xiaoyao had received this letter earlier, he could have made preparations earlier and would not have been forced to sweat all over by Long Xiaolin.
After putting the letter away, Ma Xiaoyao went upstairs to find Leng Rufeng. Leng Rufeng must give him an explanation for what happened just now.
…
On a quiet street.
Long Xiaolin had a sullen face and said nothing.
"Father...what should we do next?" Young Master Long couldn't help but ask.
"You still have the nerve to ask!" Long Xiaolin snorted coldly: "I winked at you just now, why did you ignore it?"
"What? Did you ask me to wink? Why didn't I see it?" Young Master Long was stunned.
"You... I winked at you twice, and you actually said you didn't see it... You... I'm really going to be pissed off by you!" Long Xiaolin was so angry that he trembled all over: "I, Hero Long Xiaolin,
How could I have given birth to such a useless son like you!"
"I really didn't see it..." Young Master Long pouted: "Father, why are you so polite and winking at me?"
"You pig brain!" Long Xiaolin scolded: "I want you to bite that Ma Xiaoyao to death. As long as you identify Ma Xiaoyao as the one who did it, I will have reason to arrest Ma Xiaoyao! As long as Ma Xiaoyao arrives.
With my hands, I am sure to pry open his mouth!"
"The key is... I don't know if it was Ma Xiaoyao who did it..." Young Master Long said.
"I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go!" Long Xiaolin said with a gloomy face: "Since this Ma Xiaoyao is suspected, we have to arrest him. Even if he is arrested by mistake, it doesn't matter! But you kid... is so ignorant
, it really pissed me off."
"Then... let's go back and catch him!" Young Master Long said.
"The opportunity has been lost." Long Xiaolin shook his head: "With Leng Rufeng standing in the way, I can't make a move at all."
"Are you going to let him go like this?" Young Master Long was a little unwilling.
"You don't have to worry about this matter." Long Xiaolin said in a deep voice: "I will arrange for someone to investigate Ma Xiaoyao. If it is really Ma Xiaoyao who did it, he will expose his fault sooner or later."
"But..." Young Master Long was about to speak, but was interrupted by Long Xiaolin.
"From today on, you will stay in the house and study for me. You are not allowed to step out of the house without my permission." Long Xiaolin grounded Young Master Long with just one sentence. It was not Long Xiaolin and Lin Xin.
Cruel, this Young Master Long is really too capable of causing trouble, so Long Xiaolin can only keep Young Master Long under his supervision.
Of course, Young Master Long did not dare to object and could only nod reluctantly.
"Let's go back." Long Xiaolin waved his sleeves and strode towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Young Master Long followed behind dejectedly.
…
Inn.
In the wing room.
Leng Rufeng sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking slowly: "A few days ago, you borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from me, saying that you were going to do something very important... A few days later
, you just returned the money to me, have you not forgotten this?"
"Well...disciple certainly hasn't forgotten." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"Can you tell me now...what did you do with the money?" Leng Rufeng asked calmly.
"I..." Ma Xiaoyao looked hesitant and didn't know how to answer.
"Xiaoyao." Leng Rufeng put the tea cup on the table, and then stared at Ma Xiaoyao with piercing eyes: "You are my apprentice, and I will definitely protect you! For example, just now, even under the pressure of offending the Marquis of Zhennan
, I still defend you without flinching..." At this point, Leng Rufeng's tone softened a little: "I sincerely care about you and love you. I have no other requirements for you. I only hope that you can follow me.
to be honest!"
Ma Xiaoyao took a slow breath: "Master, it's not that I deliberately concealed it from you, but this matter... is a bit big, and I don't want to implicate you."
"How big can it be?" Leng Rufeng raised his eyebrows: "Just say it, no matter how big the matter is, I have the willpower to bear it for you!"
Leng Rufeng had already said this. It would be heartless if Ma Xiaoyao still twitched: "Since master wants to know, then I will tell you in detail..." Next, Ma Xiaoyao said
The whole story was told exactly, including the matter of recruiting people to make fake jade pendants.
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's story, Leng Rufeng frowned: "Xiaoyao, I didn't expect you to be so courageous..."
"I acted recklessly." Ma Xiaoyao took the initiative to admit his mistake: "But...if I had to choose again, I would probably do it again! Master, have you not seen how arrogant that Young Master Long is..."
Leng Rufeng waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk anymore! Since it has happened, let it be, I will help you deal with it."
"Master..." Ma Xiaoyao didn't expect that he would tell what happened, but Leng Rufeng still spared no effort to protect him. Ma Xiaoyao was very touched by this affection.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will help you handle it!" Leng Rufeng said lightly: "As long as I am here, that Long Xiaolin can't hurt you..." At this point, Leng Rufeng paused.
: "What's going on between you and that Li Ming?"
"It's a long story to tell..." Ma Xiaoyao briefly recounted the grudge between herself and Li Ming.
"Speaking of it, you and Li Ming really have a deep hatred." Leng Rufeng nodded: "No wonder you wanted to blame Li Ming. It's a pity that the method you used was not clever enough. Not only was Long Xiaolin found out,
, and also exposed myself..."
Ma Xiaoyao's face turned red: "I didn't think carefully."
"Well...since you have a grudge against Li Ming, why...does Mr. Han think so highly of you?" Leng Rufeng asked: "Li Ming is Mr. Han's son-in-law. He has no reason to help his son-in-law's enemy.
?”
"This..." Ma Xiaoyao didn't know how to answer. It wasn't that he didn't trust Leng Rufeng, but that the things involved were too complicated and he didn't want to implicate Leng Rufeng.
"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Leng Rufeng took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "You have to remember one thing, you are my apprentice, I am your master, no matter you
If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will try my best to help you solve it."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded gratefully: "I remember."
"It's getting late. You should go back to the house and rest. We have to continue playing tomorrow." Leng Rufeng waved his hand.
"Hey, I'm leaving. Master, you should go to bed early." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned and left the room.
As Ma Xiaoyao left, Leng Rufeng slowly frowned and said to himself: "What is the connection... between this Ma Xiaoyao and Han Mingguang?" Leng Rufeng used to think that Ma Xiaoyao was
He was a relative of Han Mingguang, but after some contact, Leng Rufeng realized that he had misunderstood. Ma Xiaoyao had no connection with Han Mingguang...
Leng Rufeng and Han Mingguang have known each other for many years, and they know Han Mingguang's character very well. To put it bluntly, Han Mingguang is a person who has no profit and can't afford to start early. He is also very narrow-minded and can easily hold grudges! He is also ruthless in doing things, such a selfish person.
Why would a man help his son-in-law's enemy... There must be some unknown secret in this!
"It seems that I need to pay more attention to Ma Xiaoyao." Leng Rufeng sighed slightly. Leng Rufeng valued Ma Xiaoyao very much and really didn't want to see anything happen to Ma Xiaoyao.
The emotions between people are indeed very complicated. At first, Leng Rufeng was disgusted with Ma Xiaoyao, but after some contact, Leng Rufeng began to appreciate Ma Xiaoyao again. Among the many disciples, Ma Xiaoyao was the one he valued most.
