After turning into a small alley behind the Dragon King Temple, walking a little farther away, seeing that there was no one around, Shi Jin walked two steps quickly, followed Dong Ce, and said with some worry between his eyebrows: "Boss, after all, you are not the official of this Lingyidu, such a murderer, on the face of the gentry of this Lingyidu, Xu is not very good-looking." ”

Dong Ce looked calm and relaxed, waved his hand, and snorted lightly: "A group of local chickens and dogs, corpses and vegetarian people, if you find faults, you should do it." ”

When he said this, the people below were naturally bold, and naturally they didn't take this matter to heart.

Wang Tong secretly cocked his thumb and smiled wryly: "Boss, your hand that is on the verge of playing today is really beautiful!" ”

Dong Ce smiled silently, but Zhou Zhong was a little puzzled, but he was embarrassed to ask. Wang Hun didn't care about it, and poked Wang Tong with his fingers like carrots, and said, "What's the matter?" Why didn't I see that? Tell me about it, don't sell it! ”

Wang Tong was most afraid of him, and hurriedly smiled: "When he was leaving, the boss said, there are still spies in this Lingyidu, do you think, if anyone wants to overturn the case for Huang Erhu and find trouble for our leader, can't we justifiably say that he is Huang Erhu's comrade and Jiannu's spy?" ”

"In a word, whoever dares to make trouble is a spy of Jiannu!" Wang Tong laughed, and couldn't help but give Dong Ce a thumbs up again: "Boss, Gao Ming!" That's brilliant! ”

=一=本=Read=Novel xstxt Dong Ce smiled faintly, did not speak, he was used to reading history books, and he was really no stranger to buttoning his hat and going online.

As he spoke, he had already passed through this high-gate area and came to the northernmost part of Lingyidu, where the houses were low and old, and the people who lived in them were all ordinary people.

According to the memories in their minds, soon, everyone stopped in front of a small courtyard.

The courtyard was a long time old, the bricks had peeled off, the roof tiles were broken, and the black gate was ajar, with a large crack on it.

But it's very neat and clean.

Dong Ce looked at the gate of this courtyard, his eyes were complicated, the old mother here!

He stood outside for a long time, and Shi Jin and the others wondered in their hearts, why didn't they hurry in when they got home? Finally, Dong Ce took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and was about to knock on the door.

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind: "Don't look ahead, I'm here!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked behind them, and saw an old woman standing not far behind them, walking towards this side with a crutch.

She is about fifty years old, her hair is already silver-white, but she is very neatly groomed, and her face is wrinkled, but she looks quite tough, although she is on crutches, but it should be more decorative, and she walks slowly but steadily.

It is Dong Ce's mother-in-law, Qiao's.

I don't know why, when I saw this old woman, Dong Ce's hard heart suddenly became soft, and he only felt a sour heart, so he hurriedly walked two steps quickly, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed a few times, his face was full of shame: "Mother, the child is not filial, and you have suffered for the elderly." ”

The old woman was also extremely emotional, her eyes were full of tears, her lips were a little trembling, she suddenly picked up her crutches, and slashed her head and face at Dong Ce, and scolded while scolding: "You little rabbit, do you still know to come back?" Do you know to come and see me, an old immortal? Yes? Do you still have your mother in your heart! ”

As she snorted, tears were already falling.

Dong Ce just knelt there upright, motionless, letting the crutches fall on his body, he only hoped to make his mother's heart feel better. Shi Jin and the others didn't dare to interject, but they just knelt on the side straight, but Wang Tong was clever, smiling at the old lady vigorously, and kept bowing.

The old woman fought for a while, pulled Dong Ce up, looked him up and down, and said with tears in her eyes: "My son, there is a future!" ”

Dong Ce nodded heavily: "Mother, the child is out of the woods, he has become an official, and he has changed his previous temperament, and now, no one dares to bully us." ”

"That's good, that's good, my son is capable, don't worry about me anymore." Qiao Shi just took his hand and said vigorously, his face full of joy was not enough.

Wang Tong said very timely: "Old lady, boss, let's go in and talk?" The old lady has come all the way, I am afraid that she is also tired, and she has to rest well. ”

Dong Ce hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, mother, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Qiao Shi nodded slightly, and Dong Ce hurriedly carried her in.

The yard is not big, only one entrance, and there are no wings on both sides, only two main rooms.

There were a few cracks in the walls of the hall, and it looked like it was going to collapse at any time, so I pushed the door in, because the lighting was not good, and it was dark inside, but it was very clean, and there was no smell. There were no bricks on the ground, but bare earth, and a stove was built in the corner, and a lot of firewood was stuffed between the stove and the wall, and the wall above it was already blackened.

The furniture in the room is very simple, just a chair, a wooden barrel, and a few chopsticks.

Seeing this scene, Dong Ce's heart was even more sour, as if he saw the scene of his elderly mother struggling to chop wood and cook, struggling to maintain and suffering alone.

"What am I doing? Why don't you take your wife to enjoy happiness as soon as you are developed? ”

Dong Ce scolded himself a few times in his heart, knelt on the ground again, and slapped himself fiercely: "Mother, the child is sorry for you." ”

"What's there to be sorry for? It's not you, it's the boss's loser. Qiao's cane in his hand tapped lightly on Dong Ce's shoulder: "Don't mention that pickled thing, get up and speak." ”

Dong Ce got up, and Qiao Shi beckoned Shi Jin and a few people to sit down, but they were polite and thoughtful, not leaking, acting and speaking very steadily and skillfully, and there was a faint taste of indescribable elegance.

Dong Ce couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, his old mother really didn't seem to be a simple character.

Shi Jin and the others naturally hurriedly thanked them, and then Qiao's was about to cook, and Wang Tong and his buttocks seemed to be on fire as soon as they hurriedly jumped up, with a sneer: "Old lady, where can I bother you!" You sit down quietly, talk to the adults, and tell the next sentence for us, the younger generations. ”

Dong Ce took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Wang Tong, and said, "You and Wang Hun go to Zhang Luo to get some wine and food back, Shi Jin, you Zhou Zhong go to the street to investigate, and by the way, go around the houses of those heads and faces, and see how they talk." ”

"Yes."

The four of them were all clever people, and they knew that the leader was going to break them away, so they each responded and left.

Looking at their departing backs, Qiao suddenly sighed faintly and said softly: "My son, I have seen the scene of killing people on the street just now. ”

"Huh?" Dong Ce couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly became a little at a loss.

For him, this is an extremely rare emotion.

Her own wife is no better than the average village old lady, and she must not be easily deceived in the past, so in her heart, how do she think of her son who killed innocents indiscriminately.

Dong Ce couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"Just one word, good kill!" Qiao Shi looked at his son's reaction, and couldn't help but show a smile and said.

"Mother?" Dong Ce couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"You must be surprised, aren't you?" Qiao Shi sighed: "You were stupid and stupid before, not like a human, some words, if you say it, it will hurt you, but look at you now, it is very different from before, and some words can naturally be said." ”

She glanced at Dong Ce, her eyes were full of deep meaning, and she waved her hand and said, "I naturally know that this Huang Erhu is not Jiannu's spy, but it's nothing?" ”

"A manly man, he should be more decisive, what is it to kill someone? Since this Huang Erhu has bullied you, since you want him to die, then just let it go. Give him a crime, and he will be slaughtered justifiably, and no one can say anything. ”

She looked at Dong Ce and smiled slightly: "In this way, this case will be an iron case, a dead case!" No one can turn it over! And let this Huang Erhu die and carry infamy, such a clever method, that is the best. The same should be true for future acts. ”

Listening to this, Dong Ce couldn't help but feel shocked, but he didn't expect his mother to be able to say this.

He didn't really know much about his mother before, but the affection and affection that were deeply rooted in his heart and soul made him extremely respectful and affectionate to Qiao's, but in his heart, he only regarded her as an old lady from the countryside.

But now, how could an old country woman have such insight? 's mother, I'm afraid she was also a powerful character back then. Dong Ce couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart, and quickly held back, the secrets of the old man were not something he could inquire about.

"Your actions today have offended people, but it's nothing, since you have offended, then offend all the way, you just killed the heads of those Jiannu and made a great contribution, and no one will trouble you at this time. If you are ruthless, you must always be so ruthless, and you must not show weakness. If you have been vicious, they will not dare to provoke you. And you just need to be ......" Qiao sighed, and there was some pain in his eyes: "Don't be like your father......"

At this point, she paused, and said no more.

Dong Ce knew that his father was also a man of the hour in these ten miles and eight towns, and when he was young, he was also a ranger, brave and ruthless, unruly, and offended many people. Later, he became an official, and his actions were also domineering and ferocious, so that no one dared to provoke him easily. It's just that later, as he got older, he changed his temperament, reined in his edge, became submissive and mediocre, and then no one was afraid of him anymore.
