after the villain

26.

As Ji Wuming said, Yan Guitian is an upright gentleman, and he can't do things like gossip about people behind their backs.In the past, Lin Yuezhi had never done evil things in front of him, and he and Nangong Cheng had noticed many clues about the siege of Endless Cliff. He felt ashamed. It will not be announced to the public.

Just looking for an excuse to separate the two parties for the time being, and then make plans.

Yan Jingyu was sensitive, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her eldest brother. Since she had never been an inquisitive character, she pursed her lips, and just silently fed the horses and waited for the officers and soldiers to arrive without saying a word.

As for Nangong Sheng, no matter how smart he is, he is not a worm in Yan Guitian's stomach. He can't know what the other party thinks. He and Yan Guitian can become friends because of the other party's ruthless justice, which is rare in the world. He sighed in admiration , and gritted his teeth again.

In fact, even if he knew Lin Yuezhi's identity, he would do nothing except make some use of it.

Nangong Sheng was born as a young master. Jiangnan is rich and noble, especially Nangong's family.His family has been poor for generations, it's not that there has never been a female headed the family, so naturally there is no bad habit of passing the family business from male to female.

He was born late, and when he was sensible, the elder sister had already grasped the lifeline of the family business, and it was only a change of mouth to be away from the head of the family, and the second elder sister was also able to take care of herself.Nangong Sheng, the only young master, was not cast as an heir because of his status as a male. His family told him since he was a child that those who are capable in the family should live in it.

When Nangong Sheng rebelled as a teenager, he was also encouraged to fight, and then he lost all the good farmland that his parents had allocated to him to his sisters.He can spend a lot of money now, but it is just compensation from his parents and sisters after he completely gave up the idea of ​​inheriting the family business.

Nangong Cheng met Yan Guitian at the beginning, it was after losing all his belongings, he was quite depressed to get drunk in a restaurant.

At that time, those rich young masters around him kept talking ill of his two sisters, saying that the woman is an outsider, she will marry someone after all, and the family property is not given to her husband's family.Nangong Cheng was in a depressed mood at that time, and he hadn't turned the corner yet. Even if he didn't echo those words, he still had no thoughts in his heart.

It was Yan Guitian who heard more and more outrageous, stood up and woke him up, he said, "They are all from the parents, the same blood, is it different just because the other party is a woman? As you said, men are also If you are born of a woman, wouldn't that be even more complicated? If you really feel unwilling, you should prove yourself, instead of gossiping and saying some slanderous words to comfort yourself, so that people feel that the family business is in your hands. To wither."

"A man of seven feet should be upright."

Nangong Sheng felt embarrassment and unwillingness after being told what was in his heart.He initially made friends with Yan Guitian because he wanted to secretly see how much he could do behind those high-sounding words.

As a result, the longer we get along, the more clearly he understands that Yan Guitian is such an upright gentleman that is rare in the world, which made him feel more unbearable in his heart while admiring him.

Just like the matter just now, Yan Guitian felt that Mo Gutong could die, but he was damned upright, instead of being humiliated as a medicine man.Nangong Sheng felt that being a medicine man was too humiliating.

The family of three villains from the Yuelai Inn who were captured that day gave money at the gate of Anyang City and asked the soldiers at the city gate to escort it to the county government. In fact, there was no money. Let them be sent to the light rain building.

After he entered the city, he went to the Weiyu Tower non-stop, and hired a fierce assassin to torture the three villains, which was regarded as revenge for the innocent passers-by who died in their hands.In Huaiyang City, he hastily followed Yan Guitian to the Weiyu Tower, because he was afraid that things would be exposed, and by the way, he had someone send the three tortured criminals back to the west.

There are still a few people in the world who are like Yan Guitian and have no shadows.

Seeing that he intentionally separated Yan Jingyu from Ji Wuming and the others, Nangong Sheng thought that Yan Guitian felt that Lin Yuezhi's methods were too aggressive, and he was afraid that Yan Jingyu, a younger brother who was not as weak as the crown, would be affected.

He never thought that Lin Yuezhi's identity would be different.

The officers and soldiers from Sishui City came very quickly, and they even knew the leader of the team. It was Gong Yi from Huaiyang County Yali. Seeing that he was wearing a new official uniform, he was promoted. The top leaders except the county master and master.

There are acquaintances in the court who are easy to handle, so Gong Yi personally conducted evidence collection and questioning, and it was over soon.

Yan Jingyu remained silent throughout the whole process as a background board, and after Gong Yi repeated and revised the details of the testimony, he pulled his horse and turned to leave, ignoring the third watch, and couldn't wait to enter the city for a moment.

Yan Guitian immediately called out, "It's getting late, the city gates are closed..."

Yan Jingyu got on his horse and said without looking back, "I'll wait at the gate of the city first."

"Shocking rain! We will see you soon, so why rush at this moment!" Yan Guitian strode over.

Nangong Cheng was also taken aback by Yan Jingyu's style of leaving without hesitation, and also advised, "Even if we set off early in the morning, there will not be much delay."

Yan Jingyu didn't listen to the persuasion, but said in a low voice, "I'll go first, see you in the city."

How could Yan Guitian let him ride solo late at night when there was no light in the middle of the night, grabbing the reins, his voice was rare and tough, "Yan Jingyu, come down, don't make me worry."

Yan Jingyu tilted his head, and asked in a straightforward and strange tone, "What is there to worry about?" He has not been alone for a day or two.

Yan Guitian heard the meaning of his words, felt a lump in his throat, and said with difficulty after a long while, "Before... it was my brother who was useless. I couldn't find you sooner, and I made you suffer a lot. But I am Your elder brother, you are still young, how can I let you go with peace of mind? ——Don’t worry, there are many victims in the case of Yangjia Village, so they must be reported to the police. Surabaya. People are there anyway, so you don’t have to rush.”

Yan Jingyu sat on the horse and tilted her head to look at him for a long time. Because of deep thought, the pad of her left thumb unconsciously rubbed against the phalanx of her index finger, as if she was weighing the truth of what he said.

In an instant, Yan Guitian seemed to have returned to the time when he first met each other in Weiyulou a few years ago. The slender boy was wearing thin clothes and sat straddling the wall. There was still warm blood on his face and fists. His facial features were fierce and his eyes were bloodthirsty. , like a hungry animal in captivity.

The little boy looked at him expressionlessly with lowered eyebrows, weighing the truth of his words.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you looking for me? Asking for money? Or, murder?"

In just one sentence, there is no hope, calm and calm, no resentment, no questioning, no killing intent.

When Yan Guitian thought of it, he still couldn't help but wet his eyes just like his young self at that time.

Yan Jingyu finally agreed, got off the horse, but said bluntly, "Brother doesn't want me to have contact with Ah Man."

Yan Guitian's eyes flickered, he was not good at lying, so he could only be silent for a moment, and then he said, "Jing Yu, brother, I don't want to hide it from you, I am not preventing you from contacting them, it's just... Seniors are both good and evil, acting The style depends on the heart, Lin... the same is true for Miss Lin. It is not wrong at all, I shouldn't be a stranger, but you are my younger brother, you are still young, and you don't have your own judgment on things, so... "

Yan Guitian didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.

Yan Jingyu is not stupid, just now he has figured out the cause and effect, he said directly, "No matter what the elder brother knows, it doesn't have to be like this."

"I……"

Yan Guitian wanted to say something, but Yan Jingyu couldn't utter a single word in his quiet black eyes.

"I didn't suffer." Yan Jingyu suddenly spit out four words irrelevant.

Yan Guitian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he answered what he said earlier that he could not find him earlier, and a look of shame flashed across Yan Guitian's face.

Yan Jingyu continued calmly, "The path I take is all chosen by myself. Whether it is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with Big Brother."

After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at Yan Guitian's stunned expression, took the dry food in the bag, and walked to Gong Yi who was silently watching the excitement.

Suddenly shrouded in shadows, Gong Yi - Guan Duhong looked at the ferocious face of this young man who had beaten him so badly, swallowed uncontrollably, a little timid.

He called in his heart that Master Lin Yuezhi would come to save his life, but on the face he still looked like an official, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Because of nervousness and fear, his voice was inevitably different from usual, revealing Guan Duhong's original voice, but no one noticed.

His group of colleagues trembled, and they admired him for being able to ask such tough questions.

Yan Jingyu didn't hear it either, and only replied, "Excuse me."

"Oh." Guan Duhong turned his head stiffly, and the young man just sat down beside him and started baking steamed buns.

The colleagues only felt that they were worthy of being a headhunter, they were so calm, they thought that Gong Yi was not good before, they really misjudged him!

A beautiful misunderstanding secretly enhanced Guan Duhong's prestige.

Yan Jingyu thought about going to the city early in the morning, but the weather was not good, and unexpected situations always interrupted the plan.

In the early morning of the next day, a sudden snowstorm sealed off the city, blocking the original appointment.

The north has always been cold. When we were at the top of Yunshan Mountain, we could see snow in September in previous years. This year they went all the way south, but the snow seemed to make way for them. They didn't see it until November.

This long-overdue snowfall was exceptionally heavy, and it kept rolling all night, covering the entire city of Surabaya with a layer of silver frost. The snow was so deep that it covered the calf, and the gates of the city were blocked. It couldn't be opened, but it still didn't decrease. Instead, it seemed like a child having fun, and it became more and more violent, causing the wind to howl. I don't know how many signboards were blown to the ground in the morning, and they were smashed to pieces.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, Ji Wuming sighed leisurely.

He thought: Yan Jingyu shouldn't be crying in secret, right?

Yan Jingyu didn't know whether she was crying or not, but someone was twirling a portrait with wet ink, reading the word "Ji Man" and laughing out loud.
