The governor rang the gong again and sang and shouted:
"On the rivers and lakes, there are people who are on the rivers and lakes, and there is no separation between the rivers and lakes. Today, take two steps back, and your grudges will turn into dust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ruhuan took a step back from where he was standing.
The governor sang and shouted:
"One step to make way to heaven..."
Zheng Ruhuan took another step back, and the governor sang and drank:
"Make way for two steps..."
This ritual of washing hands in a golden basin is not popular in Landao.
But because Zheng Ruhuan has a dark side and is from Bashu.
This ceremony is the same as the golden basin washing ceremony of Ge Lao Hui.
Then, Zheng Ruhuan walked onto the red carpet and walked towards the stage.
When they arrived at the three basins, a younger brother came forward and lit the papers in the three basins on fire.
Looking at the burning flames, the governor shouted:
"Once you have stepped into the flames of love and hatred, you will wash away the golden basin of water. There is no turning back, and you will never regret it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ruhuan raised his legs and stepped over the brazier.
Heading towards the golden basin, he strode towards the governor with rapid strides.
Arriving in front of the governor, the governor asked loudly:
“Who is washing hands today?”
"Bashu Zheng Ruhuan!"
Zheng Ruhuan bowed and replied.
The governor asked again:
"Do you have any regrets?"
"No regrets!"
As soon as the governor raised his hand, the person next to him handed him a mirror.
Holding the mirror, he shined it on Zheng Ruhuan's face and said:
"The precious mirror is opened to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. Zheng Ruhuan, do you feel guilty in your heart?"
"have!"
"speak!"
Zheng Ruhuan slowly turned around, looked at everyone, and said slowly:
"I, Zheng Ruhuan, have been in the world for thirty-five years. I have to ask myself, I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I am worthy of my brothers and sisters. But there is one thing that makes me, Zheng Ruhuan, ashamed. Every time I think of it in the middle of the night, my heart feels like a knife.
Cut..."
After saying that, Zheng Ruhuan sighed and then continued:
"When I was young and ignorant, I only wanted to seek glory and wealth, so I opened a casino stall in the Animal Road. Over the past thirty years, I have seen too many people go bankrupt and their families were ruined in my casino. I still remember that more than twenty years ago,
One night, a gambler who had lost all his money cut his wrists and committed suicide in front of me. What I was thinking about at the time was whether his death would affect my business. But I ignored a life that was lost because of me. I thought
Thinking about this, I, Zheng Ruhuan, really become a demon with just one thought..."
Zheng Ruhuan was heartbroken and said slowly:
"So, before I wash my hands with no gold basin, I want to tell my colleagues at Landao that starting from today, I, Zheng Ruhuan, will completely close the casino. I will donate all my personal life savings, not a penny, to the Bashu Foundation...
…”
Zheng Ruhuan's words made hundreds of people present tremble with fear.
Everyone knows that Zheng Ruhuan donated a huge sum of money.
As he spoke, Zheng Ruhuan raised the little finger of his left hand and said loudly:
"I know that even if I donate money, the sin I owe will never be redeemed. Today I am cutting off my finger, not asking for atonement. I just want to cut off my relationship with Landao Jianghu from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ruhuan raised his hand.
The little deer on the side walked over cautiously, holding a sharp short knife in his hand.
"Master Zheng, why do you have to do this?"
Xiaolu pursed his lips, suppressing his heartache, and gave his final persuasion.
Zheng Ruhuan smiled calmly and said:
"What I owe, of course I will pay back. Give me the knife!"
Xiaolu handed the knife to Zheng Ruhuan. Zheng Ruhuan gestured at the people present again.
Go aside and put your fingers on the table.
She put away the knife and rolled half of her fingers aside.
During the whole process, Zheng Ruhuan did not make any sound.
But I can feel that he is suffering from heartbreaking pain.
The fine sweat on his forehead had already seeped out. He held up his severed finger and said through gritted teeth:
"I swear on my broken finger that I, Zheng Ruhuan, will have nothing to do with Landao as long as I live!"
As he spoke, he turned back to the governor and said:
"Governor, I'm sorry, can you wash your hands?"
The governor glanced at everyone and asked loudly:
"Everyone, are there any unresolved grievances?"
Everyone present was silent.
The elder of Ge Laohui suddenly stood up and said:
"There's one more thing I need to talk to Boss Zheng about!"
"You said it!"
Zheng Ruhuan asked politely as she wrapped herself in gauze.
"I promised to repay the debt last time, and I have brought the check today. Please check it with Boss Zheng..."
Zheng Ruhuan shook his head.
"Leave it to Chu Liu to deal with it. I won't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore!"
"Okay, then I won't bother Boss Zheng to wash his hands. After your ceremony, Mr. Chu and I will reconcile the accounts!"
Huo Yuhan had a good reason for doing things. He could use the topic to his advantage and disrupt Zheng Ruhuan's ceremony. He also avenged the last humiliation.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he wanted to wait until the ceremony was over before he could regain the face of Ge Laohui.
"Is there anyone else?"
The governor shouted again.
Seeing that no one agreed, he made an invitation gesture to Zheng Ruhuan:
"Mr. Zheng, please bring me some water and bid farewell to the world..."
Zheng Ruhuan slowly walked towards the golden basin.
He walked very slowly, as if waiting for something.
Walking to the golden basin, the governor asked loudly:
"Zheng Ruhuan, are you ready?"
Zheng Ruhuan nodded.
The governor was just about to sing and drink when suddenly someone from the corner smiled and said:
"Boss Zheng, don't worry, I have something else to ask you!"
Looking back, he saw Liu Xiaoshou standing up slowly.
Looking at Zheng Ruhuan, he had a joking look on his face.
