brotherly innocence

Once, he accidentally saw his mother in the kitchen secretly licking the reed leaves that wrapped the tile cake left by his brother after eating, his nose was sore, and tears fell down.At that time, his only wish was to earn money, and he worked hard to earn money to buy tile cakes for his mother to eat.

"Master Liu, I'll cut the biggest piece for you to eat." The old man took the money and happily cut a big piece, full of a sense of accomplishment.

Qin Rong looked at the rice cakes in the small pot he was carrying, and thought about it, "Wrap them up for me."

The old man said happily: "Master Liu has a lot of people in his family now."

Qin Rong just thought, maybe it's an extra bite, he should buy it no matter whether he eats it or not.

In the side room next to the incense hall of Chongyi Hall, the light in the room was dim, and the thick smoke enveloped the not-so-spacious room. On the couch, his father, Boss Qin, was lying on his side, smoking a thick cigar desperately, one by one, from time to time, laboriously cough.It was still the fat head with big ears and bald head, who lowered his head and smoked, and squinted his cheeks from time to time, shining like a searchlight.Qin Rong couldn't help turning his head to avoid that gaze, but the light in his eyes had already gone away.

"Hey!" Boss Qin sighed deeply, continued to smoke, and did not speak.

Qin Rong stood aside, silent, waiting for him to speak.A Biao once persuaded him to go out to hide from the limelight, but Qin Rong refused, because he was the sixth master Ye Rong of Qingdaotang, and it was not his style to pretend to be a turtle and hide his neck.

Boss Qin glanced at his son who had returned from a long journey. He was dressed in a soap-colored silk blouse, which was the usual attire for Jianghu people. It was simple and neat, but his straight body was still a little thin.The contours of the eyebrows and eyes are extremely clear, but there is always a hint of melancholy in the deep sunken eyes.The thin lips were tightly pursed, never as dazzling as Yaonan's sunshine, but they were much deeper and calmer.

There was a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched and he asked leisurely: "You have forgotten the rules of the hall, and you should not forget the rules of the Qingdao Hall." He deliberately emphasized, "The payment for the goods was privately paid to the Xiangtang family. legally disposed of?"

It was as if in front of him was a son who could not escape the death penalty, but he didn't know that the disaster was imminent.But the word "kill" was hard for him as a father to utter.

Qin Rong was not timid, and responded, "A Rong understands."

"You, do you understand?" Boss Qin raised his eyes to look at him in surprise, and asked again with bewildered eyes: "Tell me, how to deal with it according to the hall rules?"

"Stealing goods, heavy ones will break their arms, and light ones will have twenty sticks. The price varies according to the weight of the goods. But I am not stealing that batch of goods!" Qin Rong argued, but was stopped by Qin Boss: "Where did the goods go?"

"I, I broke up. Dad, how wicked is that kind of business, human flesh trading, outrageous."

"You just put a large amount of goods in this way, aren't you afraid?" Boss Qin asked.Do as the Romans do, Yaonan read it to him when he entered the Chongyi Hall of the Qin Family, and he wrote it down.

"Afraid!" Qin Rong replied, how could he not be afraid, after all his arms grew on his body, they were indispensable flesh and blood.When he entered the gate of Chongyi Hall of the Blue Gang, he was a little terrified, and he was not so nervous all the way. Seeing the solemn faces and panic expressions of his brothers, he felt that a catastrophe was coming.Only at the moment when he saw his father, he suddenly relaxed a lot, everything is fate, he accepted it, and he will go to the end.

Boss Qin looked at him sadly, and was speechless for a while, because he was afraid that his son would run away halfway, and he would lose everything in fetching water from the bamboo basket.Later, when he heard that he had caused a catastrophe, he was so shocked that he stayed up all night.When he was in a dilemma, the master reminded him, "If the second young master is afraid of crime and escapes, it will be a good thing." But now, this stupid boy has returned. He was ecstatic when he saw his son for the first time, but he wanted to hold him in his arms. Suppressing his excitement, he just called him to come to the ear room as if nothing had happened, fearing that he had to explain this matter and his interests.It's just how to save his son, he also has no idea in his heart.With Yaonan's cleverness, he would never cause trouble for his upper body, but this stupid boy, I don't know if he is stupid or too smart.

"You, you know that you want to break your arm and give money to others!" Boss Qin cursed after a long time: "You bastard, you want to break one of your own arms for the sake of a few irrelevant 'rabbit masters'? Are you crippled?" You, have you ever thought about it, that arm is yours! No! It's not only yours, it's your mother's, your father's and mine!"

There was a roar, and the roar lingered in the beams of the room. Qin Rong peeked at his father's anxious face, bowed his head and nodded and said, "I have thought about it, I am willing!"

Boss Qin choked on a puff of cigarettes, coughing and choking on a few mouthfuls of smoke.He spit out the cigarette butt with wide eyes and nodded, picked up the purple sand pot and took two sips of strong tea, pointed to the Xiangtang next door, and was so angry that he stopped talking.

Qin Rong nodded knowingly, turned around and went out, but stopped, without looking back at him, and said calmly, "I do things alone, so don't make things difficult. Since I have made a decision, I can bear the consequences on my shoulders."

Just the moment he went out, the sun was dazzlingly bright.The bright light of the day in the sky filled the incense hall, making Qin Rong's legs so heavy that it was difficult to step forward.

The incense hall of Chongyi Hall is not like the Qingdao Hall. The incense hall of Qingdao Hall is on the attic, and there is a rattling sound when walking, and it feels dim and dark, but Chongyi Hall is extraordinarily dazzling and bright.

The Shengtang Drum rang, and the sound of "Boom Boom Boom" made people tremble.With a bare neck, a red silk belt around his waist, and all black silk bloomers, the eighteen law enforcement officers came running at a uniform pace with water and fire sticks, and lined up to the hatchback like soldiers. come.

Qin Rong knelt in the hall, he solemnly looked up at the empty tiger-skin chair under the gold plaque on a black background with the words "Yi Bo Yun Tian", the tiger with teeth and claws was staring at him.The wind blew into his collar, and he felt the coolness on his back, so he knelt for a while until the last incense master was seated on the spot.

Coughing from behind the screen wall, Qin Rong saw his father pacing out with a cigar in his mouth and wearing a blue silk long gown and gold vest.The Shengtang Drum sounded again, and the water and fire sticks poked the ground and screamed "vomit, vomit" until the sound went out, and there was silence in the incense hall.

"Qin Rong!" Boss Qin shouted.

"The disciple is here!" Qin Rong replied, but he no longer dared to meet his father's gaze.

"Are you guilty?"

"Yes!" Qin Rong replied.

"Left and right protectors!"

"exist!"

"How to deal with it according to the hall rules?" Boss Qin asked.

Zuo Hufa took a step forward and clasped his fists and said: "If it is serious, its arm will be broken, and if it is light, it will be punished with twenty water and fire ruthless sticks. According to the severity of the plot, the severity of the goods will be punished."

"Qin Rong made a good claim and abandoned the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, worth 50 oceans, how to deal with it?" Qin Boss asked loudly.

Hallmaster Fang next to him answered: "Leader Zuo's words are not entirely true. Broken arms are all about lost goods. If you intentionally embezzle public property, I'm afraid it's not on the list. You'll lose your head, right?"

Everyone was shocked by this sentence. Boss Qin didn't expect it, and his face changed color. He didn't want Lao Fang to wait here to avenge his revenge.

The guardians on the left and right were stunned and speechless.

Qin Rong was startled and caught off guard. Could it be that the 50 is so fatal that it will kill him?

Everyone talked a lot, and they didn't dare to speak up without authorization.

"Even if the second son commits a crime, he must be treated equally. Last time my son bet on a prostitute and gambled [-] oceans. It was supposed to be a slap in the face, but Zuo Hufa said it was private embezzlement, so he broke his leg!"

It turned out that he was looking for revenge. Boss Qin recognized Yuan Xu, the master of Feihe Hall, and couldn't help being angry, and scolded: "Your son is eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and Qin Rong is..."

I have never seen these people so courageous, hiding in the dark like a mouse in a dark ditch, ready to go, jumping out at the critical moment and biting his throat fiercely.Old Qin was furious.

"Then I have to ask Qin Ruozhu, is it private release or private possession, or collusion between inside and outside?" Left Protector turned to Qin Rong and asked.

"Selfless, no old, just seeing injustice and upholding justice. Our blue gang is now a big family, and we still do this kind of business of buying and selling human flesh, which makes people laugh." Qin Rong said, adding: "I let people go. Let's go, I don't want to describe this matter any more, how to deal with it is up to the guardian!"

Said to Boss Qin: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I dare to do it, I just think about it. If the Lan Gang still does this kind of business, wouldn't they really be a quack? If I knew it was these things, I wouldn't go there! "

Everyone whispered and sighed a lot.

Zuo Hufa summoned A Biao and Hou Zi again to ask about the situation at that time. A Biao was so frightened that his voice trembled and said, "It's all my fault. Before leaving, Brother Nan reminded me not to let the second master see the meat. Thinking of not escaping the eyes of the second master on the way. I blame A Biao for not stopping him, so he let him go. 50 yuan, if you want to chop it off, chop off A Biao's arms and legs! Master Qin worked so hard to find it Son, you can't just cut off an arm like this, no. Just chop off A Biao's arm!"

With a calm face, Qin Rong took off his black silk shirt and off-white old-fashioned bag without hesitation.Broad chest, strong muscles, wheat-colored skin, a groove under the spine of the muscles gathered in the back, and a grass-colored sweat towel tied on the waist of the trousers, as strong and strong as a little leopard.Boss Qin squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Execution!"
