Chapter 224 Small Attic [2-in-1]
"Mr. Luo..." Hong Xi frowned, feeling embarrassed for a moment.
He seemed to not know what to say to make these people believe in him. Even if Liang Yue's full identity is revealed, these people will feel that they are setting him up. The only way is to let them investigate on their own. Anyway, this kid shouldn't be able to escape for a while.
So he said: "Mr. Luo, your hands and eyes are very good. You can check his identity. If he is not the illegitimate son of Liang Fuguo, I will sacrifice his head myself!"
Liang Yue also shouted loudly. He choked, "If I have even the slightest blood relationship with Liang Fuguo, let me strike with five thunderbolts from heaven and kill him!"
Of course he dared to swear such an oath, because his parents made it very clear that his mother had nothing to do with the current left prime minister. All those rumors just originated from some small associations. After repeated coincidences and confirmations, they turned out to be true.
Seeing how determined he was, Hong Xi sneered twice, "Okay, you are cruel enough."
"Insolent!" Mr. Luo shouted in a deep voice, "I will take care of Xiaolin's matters myself. Someone will be sent to investigate. Hong Xi, the bosses are gathered here today to discuss your matter. "
Originally, when Hong Xi first came, he had a high level of cultivation and strong tactics, and he quickly conquered a lot of his subordinates. Mr. Luo also admired him very much and gave him a lot of indulgence.
However, he has recently begun to annex and suppress the territories of the surrounding bosses, and he has the momentum to dominate the quarry. Only then did Mr. Luo feel that something was wrong, and he wanted to give him a beating.
A person like Mr. Luo, who has a detached status and is too lazy to manage his power, must rely on the respect of the forces to form a balance. If Hong Xi is the only boss left in the quarry, how can he respect an old guy like him with his domineering personality?
“What’s wrong with me?” Hong Xi frowned and glanced, but no boss dared to look at him.
"Not long after you arrived here, you repeatedly invaded other people's territory and asked so many people to give in to you. You don't take your seniors seriously at all. Do you really think that you are invincible in this quarry? Luo Laohe asked.
Hong Xi snorted frivolously, he really felt that he was invincible.
After all, he is in the sixth level of martial arts cultivation. Anyone with a higher cultivation level than him probably will not be sent to the quarry. The bosses around him are all in the fourth and fifth realms. How can they compete with him?
As long as there is someone who is evenly matched with him, he will not come to Mr. Luo to complain.
"Okay." Mr. Luo saw his attitude, nodded and said: "Since you think you are powerful enough, then you go back and prepare. This time, I will stand on their side."< br>
"Mr. Luo!" Hong Xi was still a little apprehensive after hearing this.
He is not afraid of others, but he is still a little ignorant of this old man.
Since the call, Hong Xi has been inquiring about Mr. Luo’s origins.
I heard that he also held an important position in the Ministry of Justice at the beginning, but he lost the power struggle with Liang Fuguo and ended up in prison for life. As for whether his transcendent status here relies on his past connections or his own strength, he doesn't know.
It can be said that the only person in the quarry that he is not confident of winning is this one.
"I have no disrespect to you, but everything must be fair, right?" Hong Xi said with some resentment: "I am strong and have many brothers, but they can't beat me, so they came here to complain to you. . Then if I lose, will they return the territory to me?”
“Of course you can take a big bite, but you can’t do it if you don’t want others to take a bite. I don’t agree. If you go to Colonel Chen, he won’t agree.” Luo Laoyouyou said, “I am saying this for your own sake.”
“Haha,” Hong Xi said again. Looking around at everyone present, he nodded and said: "Since Mr. Luo has spoken, of course I have to listen. As long as these people don't come to provoke me, I will not trouble them again."
Mr. Luo said again: "I will send someone to investigate Xiaolin's matter as soon as possible. You can't do anything to him before there is a result."
Hong Xi responded fiercely: "Okay!"
It seems that Hong Xi's words also made Mr. Luo a little suspicious. He needs to send someone to find out whether Liang Yue is related to Liang Fuguo. But the main purpose today was to suppress Hong Xi and establish his authority, so even though he knew that he had a grudge against Liang Yue, he was not allowed to take revenge.
Liang Yue’s plan to set up sticks and flags in the quarry needs to be postponed for a while.
……
Liang Yue was not worried after returning from Mr. Luo's place.
After all, the quarry is closed. No matter how well-informed he is, if he wants to thoroughly find out whether Liang Fuguo has an illegitimate child, whose name it is, and whether it has anything to do with him... he won't be able to get out in two or three days. of.
As for myself, looking for Cao Tong here, I guess these two days are enough.
He had already asked Zhang Danian before. Zhang Danian was an old man in the quarry and had a wide range of skills, but he had no impression of Cao Tong at all.
The reason why Liang Yue guessed that Cao Tong was hiding here was because Chen Xiaowei helped buy the golden Buddha.
Under what circumstances would it be necessary to ask a captain in charge of the quarry to come forward?
It should be that he is in it and it is inconvenient for him to do things.
Cao Tong hid because he knew about King Dinggou. Cao Wujiu was worried that he would be silenced, so he made him disappear. But Cao Wujiu was also a die-hard loyal dog of the emperor, and he was on the same side as Jiang Zhenye, and there was probably a mutual understanding between the two.
Allowing Cao Tong to hide in the quarry under the supervision of Yu Du Wei and leaving him alive was most likely the result of a compromise between the two parties.
It’s just that he may have changed his name here, or he may simply not be with ordinary prisoners. Such blind inquiry is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. We still have to start with the people who know his existence. Only Colonel Chen in the quarry must be connected with him.
What Liang Yue came here to find was Captain Chen.
So he asked Zhang Danian again, "Where is Colonel Chen usually?"
"Hey." Zhang Danian suddenly smiled ambiguously, "Of course Captain Chen is in the small school. It's at the attic. He works there on weekdays. Boss, do you want to go?"
"Yes, please show me the way down," Liang Yue said.
"Why are you in a hurry? Of course you have to go to the small attic at night. The door is not open at this time." Zhang Danian said again.
"Huh?" Liang Yue vaguely felt that something was wrong, "What office is not open during the day and open at night?"
"Boss, stop pretending. Are you looking for Colonel Chen?" Zhang Danian In other words, a smile that says “I know it all”.
While talking, the two of them returned to the place where they were working, and they both began to dig into the rocks. Liang Yue didn't want to ask any more questions. He wasn't someone who just sat back and watched others work. He also took the tools and worked hard all afternoon. With his cultivation level, it was natural for others to dig faster, and he could do what others did for several days in one afternoon. amount.
In the evening, there was food in the shed. Liang Yue was about to go over to get it when he was pulled back by Zhang Danian.
"Boss, how can you eat this? It's like pig food." He said with disgust.
Liang Yue looked at him, "What are you going to eat if you don't eat this?"
"Anyway, we have to go to the small attic later, so we can just eat there." Zhang Danian patted his chest, "I have to rely on you to cover me from now on. Stay with me, I'll treat you tonight!"
As expected, as Liang Yue guessed, the small attic should be a place opened by Captain Chen to provide illegal entertainment for the prisoners in the quarry to make money.
He asked with a smile: "Are you rich?"
"I dare not say it." Zhang Danian quickly looked around carefully, and then said: "My family is afraid that I will suffer a loss, so I will give it to you." Just came in a little bit.”
Liang Yue asked curiously: "Then you should have a good family background, why did you get here?"
"Hi." Zhang Danian waved his hand, "What I do for a living is to gather money that others can't use temporarily. Get up and use it to open some industries. Money just makes money.”
Oh?
Can’t you tell, he’s still in finance?
Liang Yue said: "Isn't this just like a bank? It doesn't sound illegal."
"There is still a slight difference." Zhang Danian said a little shyly: "Aren't the banks waiting for the benefactors to come to deposit money? Our benefactors usually lie there and watch us move the treasure away. And they really didn’t need the money. I didn’t pay it back after I got the profits. Maybe I didn’t do this right.” “Don’t you donors usually lie in wooden boxes? Sometimes it looks quite explicit. ” Liang Yue asked.
"Boss, you are absolutely right!" Zhang Danian said: "Tell me, do these people have no need for money? If I spend it, isn't it considered a thing? Make the most of it?"
Okay.
I thought you were into finance, but it turns out you are into gold.
It's not unfair to come in.
“I usually hide my wealth very tightly, for fear that I will be noticed by others if I reveal my wealth. Otherwise, weak people like us will be snatched away in the blink of an eye. This is also because you are here and someone is covering you. , I dare to go and have some fun." Zhang Danian said in a rather pitiful tone.
Liang Yue agreed: "In a place like this, it is really important to hide well."
"Hehe." Zhang Danian said with a little arrogance, "Anyway, just follow Tell me, even if I take off my clothes, you can't find the money. But when I raise my hand, a few hundred taels of silver are no problem."
Liang Yue blinked and nodded: "Then. You hide it quite deeply.”
...
After returning from Mr. Luo, Hong Xi also returned to his own territory.
Now a large area of the surrounding mountains is under his jurisdiction, and everyone who mines stone here has to answer to him. It doesn't matter if you can't hand over the stones, then just pay. With his excellent skills, no one in this area dares to disobey him.
This is the capital that he dares to be arrogant even in front of Mr. Luo.
But when he came to a hill, his expression suddenly became respectful.
In the shade of this mountain, an old man in prison uniform was lying on a big rock, taking a leisurely nap. He looked to be in his fifties, with no gray hair. Although he was also in this dusty environment, his temples were neat and his cheeks were clean.
Hong Xi stood on the edge and waited quietly for a while.
After a long while, the old man slowly opened his eyes, "Huh? When did you come, why didn't you call me?"
"Father, I see you sleep soundly. I can't bear to bother you." Hong Xi smiled flatteringly: "I just waited here for a while, not long."
He is indeed quite professional when it comes to treating his godfather.
"Haha." The old man laughed twice, "You have good intentions. What did Lao Luo say?"
"Those people actually went to find Mr. Luo in a group, and Mr. Luo threatened me if I robbed them again. I just stood on their side and fought with me." Hong Xi said, "I was worried that he was too strong to fall out with him."
"Heh," the old man sneered, "He was just a kid back then. He's just a hawk, but he's showing off his power here."
"Father, do you know his origin?" Hong Xi immediately approached and asked.
It seems that the adoptive father knows about the things that he has been exploring for a long time without any results.
"He was the leader of several old men in the Criminal Department, and his cultivation was indeed not weak. Originally, the old men in the Criminal Department had a high status and respected them enough. But he actually wanted to use this to put pressure on him, interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department, and cultivate his own party members. , seizing power with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. "The old man laughed and said: "Who knew that after forcing away the Minister of Punishment, Liang Fuguo would be the next one to take office?"
"He wanted to fight with Liang Fuguo, but it didn't take long. , he was beaten to this point.”
“That’s it.” Hong Xi then understood and nodded, thinking inwardly, it seemed that his adoptive father was indeed the one with the most powerful background.
He is also unclear about the identity of his adoptive father, but when he first arrived here, he swept across the surrounding area invincibly. There was only the old man in front of him. During the day, he asked the other party to hand over the number, but at night he received a warning from Captain Chen.
If you don’t want to die, respect him.
Hong Xi immediately realized that this old man was quite powerful, and even Captain Chen was in awe when he mentioned him. His keen adoptive father's sense of smell was immediately activated, and he felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
He is indeed talented in finding an adoptive father. At first, his target was Mr. Luo. He wanted to get close to him, so he brought up the matter of becoming an adoptive father. After discovering the old man in front of him, he immediately changed his target and focused on this person.
The old man was unwilling to pay attention to him at first, but he couldn't resist his insistence and insisted on providing for himself in old age. After going back and forth, he reluctantly agreed to accept him as his adopted son.
When Hong Xi asked the church father about something, he would always have an answer. As time went by, his impression of the unfathomable old man in front of him deepened.
He knew that this father was right.
After experiencing what happened to Lu Yuanwang, he understood that it was important to recognize the right father.
"That's right." Speaking of Liang Fuguo, he smiled again: "There is another thing. I just met a person at Mr. Luo's place, and he turned out to be Liang Fuguo's illegitimate son!"
"Huh?" The old man suddenly frowned and said: "Who?"
"That man is definitely Liang Fuguo's illegitimate son, it's true! I have dealt with him outside, and the source of the information is very reliable. "Hong Xi said firmly, "It's ridiculous that Mr. Luo introduced Liang Fuguo as his enemy, but was deceived by his son. He still doesn't believe it even after I told him. "
In fact, even if Mr. Luo didn't warn him, he still wouldn't believe it. He did not consider revenge on Liang Yue.
Just kidding, even if Liang Fuguo's son really had a big grudge, he would never consider taking revenge unless he had lived enough.
Besides, if he and Liang Yue had any serious enmity, it wasn't really serious. The direct contact only prevented him from catching Bai Zhishan in the first place. Looking back on that incident now, he actually recognized the wrong father fundamentally.
Liang Fuguo is the real big daddy.
Compared with him, Lu Yuanwang is really not good enough.
So the real source of Hong Xi’s hostility towards Liang Yue is actually a trace of jealousy.
Why?
I am searching here just to find a good father. Why are you born with one?
But this trace of jealousy is not enough to support him from doing anything irrational. He told Mr. Luo that he wanted him to take action. If he didn't take action, Hong Xi would never be able to deal with Liang Yue... but would avoid him when he saw him in the future.
"Liang Fuguo?" The old man's eyes suddenly became deep.
"What?" Seeing this, Hong Xi asked nervously: "Father, do you also have a grudge against him?"
"No." The old man shook his head, but the light in his eyes dimmed, and he was obviously thinking about something.
After a while, he looked up at Hong Xi and made his first request in these days, "Go and help me with something..."
Good morning .
I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day. This is a two-in-one article, not for laziness, but as a blessing to everyone.
I wish everyone can find someone who is one with themselves today.
