Ling Xiu: "Brother Qiu, take your brothers to see the gang leader. I'll go there later. Xiao Si, settle the brothers from Shimen as soon as possible."
Qiu Yao: "Well, let's go."
Chao Si: "The commander-in-chief, my subordinates don't know how to allocate residences. When the general rudder changes, I can't make the decision."
Ling Xiu: "Let's arrange dinner first, and let's take a rest before talking."
Chao Si: "Yes, I will obey."
Afterwards, thousands of people entered the sub-rudder in an orderly manner, with no extra sound except the sound of footsteps.
Xia Zhengjun had never imagined such a formation. How could the Tianyun Mountain sect be so arrogant and keep their distance?
Ling Xiu squatted down and said, "Master Xia, why are you here? Can you tell me first?"
Xia Zhengjun's thirsty throat finally spoke: "Please see Gang Leader Chang."
Ling Xiu: "Why are you meeting the gang leader? Can you tell me? That's right. If it's convenient for you, I'll think about it and ask the gang leader for you. It's not a big deal for you to kneel here like this."
Xia Zhengjun came to see him with determination and no longer had any official pretensions.
He is really desperate now!
My son's life hangs on a thread!
No matter how important personal dignity is, it is not as important as the life of my son Xiaochuan.
Xia Zhengjun's eyes were empty as he told the whole story of what happened. His helplessness was full of words between the lines.
Finally, he knocked his head to the ground and bowed deeply: "Please, please take me to see Master Thirteen, please, please, please..."
The trembling voice was filled with longing.
This is the last hope.
At this time, he seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, sinking into the dust.
Ling Xiu hurriedly helped him up: "It doesn't have to be like this. I will tell the gang leader about the matter. As for whether the gang leader will see you, I don't know. But you get up first. There are people coming and going outside the headquarters, and gossiping is not for anyone.
OK. Whether it succeeds or not, someone will send you a message. Just wait here."
After saying that, Ling Xiu turned around and left.
Xia Zhengjun was left standing there, stunned.
Xia Zhengjun knew in his heart that if the man in front of him failed to persuade Chang Shisan, then Chang Shisan's path would be completely unworkable.
A tear moistened his eyes.
Destiny always plays tricks on people.
Even if he begged so humbly, he couldn't get that person's forgiveness? He was unwilling to do so.
Ten years of cold window,
Ten years as an official,
Finally, I was manipulated to this point.
People who have never been valued by him can't even step foot in front of their homes at this time.
He suddenly felt that he might be tired or old.
I don't want to fight anymore.
———
As the saying goes, "If you don't know the true face of Mount Lu, it's just because you are in this mountain."
One day, when Xia Zhengjun steps out of his own small circle and looks at all this with a more tolerant heart, maybe the colors of things outside will change.
There are countless connections between people.
If there are people, then there are rivers and lakes.
Where is there no blood and where is there not the jungle of the jungle?
There are never truly simple axioms. It's just that every walk of life has its own way of fighting.
When you truly integrate into it and compare your feelings with each other, how can all the barriers in your heart last long?
Chang Shisan personally toasted to the "hero" of the Tianyun Mountain Sect.
There was no celebration party, just a glass of wine.
This wine is not a celebration wine.
Chang Shisan said that it is not the time to drink a celebratory drink at this time.
Several people walked side by side towards the central lobby.
Chang Shisan said as he walked: "Which of you killed him?"
Wei Su smiled and said nothing.
Ye Jing: "Brother Wei! Brother Qiu and I are responsible for this. It's Brother Wei's turn to become famous!"
Wei Su patted Ye Jing's shoulder: "Gang Leader, look at Ye Zi's mouth, he is not forgiving."
Qiu Yao: "By the way, the Dragon Pattern Sword is at Ling Xiu's place, waiting for him to present it to the gang leader."
Several people walked into the lobby amidst bursts of laughter.
The sun shines down, illuminating the sky and earth in front of the lobby.
Chang Shisan: "Everybody sit down."
Yu He: "Gang leader, how is your recovery recently?"
Chang Shisan: "Sword dancing is not a problem."
Lou Fei: "Oh, that's great! Next time we go on a mission, we can ask you to come with us!"
Ling Xiu quickly walked into the lobby, knelt on one knee, and held up the dragon-patterned knife in his hand. Under the sun, various gems shone brightly.
"My subordinate Ling Xiu pays homage to the gang leader."
Chang Shisan: "Get up, put down, sit down."
Ling Xiu placed the dragon-patterned sword on the sword stand beside him, turned around and stood still, saying: "Gang leader, my subordinate just saw Xia Zhengjun kneeling at the door outside the main helm. Do you think it would be best to let him in first?"
People come and go, and gossip is inevitable."
Chang Shisan: "Am I still afraid of gossip?"
Ling Xiu: "No, no, of course the gang leader is not afraid. It's just that he is really in trouble, and he is asking for help, are we?"
Chang Shisan: "Oh, you kneel when you need it, blow your beard and stare when you don't. This kind of person is not worthy of pity." Then he put a cup of fragrant tea under his lips and took a sip.
Ling Xiu swallowed hard and said: "What if someone is killed, will the supervisor not care about it?"
Qiu Yao: "Human life?"
Ling Xiu: "Twenty or thirty people."
Ye Jing: "So many?"
Ling Xiu: "Gang Leader, otherwise the subordinates would not dare to mention it. The subordinates know that the Gang Leader does not want to see him. This time, it is Wang Cibei's fault. His fifth leader was killed, and it is intolerable to have these innocent government servants buried with him."
Yu He: "Who do you think was killed?"
Ling Xiu: "Li Miao."
Yu He: "Where is the murderer? When did it happen?"
Ling Xiu: "Xia Zhengjun said that there were no clues about the murderer three days ago, which is why Wang Cibei stirred up trouble. Wang Cibei put the blame on the government officials and Xia Zhengjun's family."
Chang Shisan smiled jokingly: "We haven't found the murderer in three days. What a bunch of losers."
Ye Jing: "Wang Cibei went too far. Killing these unrelated people, we can't just sit back and ignore this matter."
Lou Fei: "Yes, leaving aside other places, Tianyun Mountain City cannot tolerate him running wild!"
Qiu Yao: "However, we are now taking action against Shimen. Wuhu Villa and the General Director are in the same city. A fire in the backyard is not a good thing. The relationship with Wuhu Villa should be maintained at its best for the time being."
Chang Shisan: "Listen, this is what a wise person should say. Each of you, you are like rotten wood that cannot be carved."
Ling Xiu thought for a while: "Gang leader, how about we just watch these twenty-odd lives? You can't put your life at risk just because of personal grudges. This is unreasonable and not in line with the gang rules."
Oh, you are so brave. You use the "gang rules" to suppress others.
Chang Shisan stood up and took two steps towards Ling Xiu, staring intently into Ling Xiu's eyes. The distance between the two became closer and closer.
Ling Xiu was a little at a loss. He took two steps back in panic and quickly lowered his head. It was so shocking - why were the gang leader's eyes looking at him like this? There were no waves in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
