To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 340 won

  The person who came in was Yundong.

   Yundong was locked up long before Governor Luo's accident, and Pingli went to see it during this period.

  The Yun Dong he saw was disheveled and embarrassed, sitting in a dark corner in a daze, like a mouse living in a stinky ditch.

  He had the intention to kill, but considering that the matter of the adoptive father had not yet been settled, he did not do it.

  But Yun Dong who was standing in front of him at this time was full of energy, except for a little relief, there was no sense of embarrassment.

  Pingli turned cold, stood up and said, "Fifth Brother, you actually broke out despite the order of your foster father, how brave you are!"

  Yun Dong said coldly: "Not as bold as elder brother."

  Hiragi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

  He subconsciously looked at Governor Luo.

   Governor Luo also looked at him.

   "Father—" Hiraguri shouted, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

   "Pingli, how have I treated you all these years?" Luo Dadu asked.

  Despite Governor Luo's gentle tone, the ominous premonition grew stronger.

  Pingli stabilized his mind, lowered his head and said, "The adoptive father treats the child as if he were his own."

   "Do you still remember how you became my adopted son?"

Pingli lowered his head even lower: "I remember. The boy was only eight years old at that time, and he was a little beggar on the streets of the capital. One day, a good man put a meat bun in the boy's bowl, and many beggars rushed over to fight for it. Keeping the meat buns and fighting them desperately, biting a person's arm and not letting go, directly biting off a piece of meat from that person's arm, and the child was beaten to death by them. At that time, the adoptive father appeared and took the child away..."

  From then on, he studied and practiced martial arts with his adoptive father, and became the adopted son of the commander of the Jinlin Guard that everyone respected. However, the experience of being a beggar was like a dream, gradually forgotten.

   No, never actually forgotten.

  In these years, even now, he still occasionally wakes up from nightmares. In the dream, he was still the little beggar without father and mother, and even with all his strength, he couldn't even protect a steamed bun.

  After waking up, the desire to climb up is stronger.

  He no longer wants to be reduced to the bottom and be slaughtered by others. Climb up to a higher level...Climb up to the point where he can control his own destiny, instead of falling to the ground and being smashed to pieces just because of someone's words.

   "Do you still remember." Staring at the young man with his head bowed, Luo Dadu's tone was a bit sad, as if he was also caught in the memory, "I still remember that you were only so tall at that time—"

  Hiragi looked up subconsciously.

Governor Luo made a gesture, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's so big, it looks like a skinny mouse. At that time, I was surprised that such a little doll could be so vicious, allowing so many people to punch it Even kicking and biting the beggar who snatched your steamed buns. I just thought this doll is pretty good, and if I take care of it, maybe it will be my good helper..."

  Ping Li listened with lowered eyes, with complicated emotions in his eyes, and his body became more and more tense.

Governor Luo's voice sounded in his ears, seeming to be far away: "It was only after I brought you back that I realized that you are already eight years old, not five or six years old as I thought. But people are smarter than I thought, obviously not I have read books but quickly learned a lot of words. I am not talented in martial arts, but I am very hardworking. After three or five years, I will gradually be able to help me with things..."

   Raised the first adopted son, who was smart and hard-working, and he adored and depended on him, so he raised the second and the third...

  Brought up, raised their ambitions and disasters.

  The smile on the corner of Luo Dadu's mouth became bitter, and he stared straight at Pingli: "Pingli, have I ever treated you badly in these years?"

  Pingli knelt down suddenly, and his tense tone revealed a trace of panic: "The foster father asked this, which made the child feel ashamed."

  Governor Luo's face turned cold suddenly, and he said sharply, "You should be ashamed!"

  The ground was icy cold, and Hiruri clenched his fists tightly, with bulging veins on the back of his hands.

   The ominous premonition came true at this moment.

  Of course he was not reconciled.

   "Father, my son doesn't understand what you mean. My son has been loyal to you all these years, I don't know what happened to make you so angry—"

   "I don't know?" Governor Luo sneered, pointing at Yun Dong, "I thought you should understand after seeing your fifth brother."

  Ping Li looked at Yundong, and tried his best to put on a calm look: "Didn't the fifth brother be locked up by you because of the person who murdered the third girl? He appeared without your permission. My child thinks that the fifth brother is too reckless."

   At this moment, Yundong opened his mouth: "Brother really thinks that the person locked up is me?"

  Hiragi was taken aback.

  He went to the cell where Yun Dong was held, of course he went there as a victor.

   That is obviously Yundong.

  Even though Yundong didn't talk to him at the time and his face was unkempt, he was confident that he would not admit his mistake.

   They have been brothers for so many years.

   "Fifth Brother is joking with me, who else is the person locked up?"

  Yundong is a serious person, but at this time the corners of his mouth are slightly curved: "I don't know who that is."

  He looked at Pingli, who was kneeling at the feet of Governor Luo, with disgust in his eyes, and said word by word: "I went to the south."

  Hiragi suddenly changed his face, staring at Yundong.

"A merchant reported to Liuqing county magistrate that the residents of a certain town were the guards of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion who was exterminated 12 years ago. Our people immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to the capital after hearing the news, but the person who sent the letter was intercepted. killed…"

  Hiragi looked at Yun Dong with an inexplicable expression.

  Yundong looked at him with a cold expression: "I am watching the two people who intercepted the messenger. I arrested them and tortured them. Brother, guess what I asked?"

  Hiragi didn't speak, but the raised veins on the back of his clenched hands became more and more obvious.

  The coldness coming from his knees was far less than the coldness in his heart.

  It was the ice condensed by emotions such as shock, annoyance, fear, unwillingness, etc., which made him unable to breathe, as if he had fallen into a freezing hell.

  When did the adoptive father doubt him? And how did you send Yun Dong to the south without making a fuss?

Looking at Pingli who was kneeling on the ground, Yundong said coldly: "Brother is very capable. Jinling Mansion was originally under my control, but I arranged for your people early on, and even some people became my right-hand men. In terms of ability, I'm ashamed of myself, little brother."

  Ping Li straightened the corners of his lips: "Father, since you have doubts about the boy, why did you send him to Jinsha County to pick up the young master a few months ago?"

  Luo Dadu smiled: "Ping Li, you are also a smart person, don't you understand?"

  Pingli looked up at Governor Luo, his face getting paler.

  It turned out that the adoptive father suspected him at that time, so two errands, Yun Dong went to wipe out the bandits along the way, and he went to pick Luo Chen back to Beijing.

  If he picks it up in person, nothing will happen to Luo Chen.

  Ye-father is really calculating!

  Looking at the young man kneeling in front of him, Governor Luo sighed: "It's a pity that cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness. Come and take Pingli down!"

   Ask for votes, ask for likes.
