"It's impossible to kill a fish if the net is broken."
Song Shichang stood in front of him with a cane, "I just hope that Mrs. Gong can move a little bit, so that the old man won't miss your eyes when he lectures others."
"What if I say I'm sure?" Gong Yan sneered, "I believe Master Song wouldn't give up the whole tobacco business for a little girl, right?"
Yantu is Song Shichang's main business, but the Gong family is also a smuggler in Nancheng. Because of the relationship with the former navy commander directly under the governor, the Gong family's Yandi business is the most famous one in the entire coastal area!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have started smuggling.
However, in the past, Nancheng Haicheng generally did not offend the river water.
"Are you threatening the old man?" Song Shichang's heart sank.
"Threats are not enough," Gong Yan interrupted the words in a serious manner, "I just sincerely advise Master Song, don't lose the overall situation for a moment of anger."
Song Shichang was silent, Gong Yan is not an ordinary person, he also wants Yantu, if he offends the Gong family because of this, when the Gong family intervenes, the South Sanxing will definitely be out of balance.
He missed one point, originally thought that the symbolic threat of force would make this woman Gong Yan retreat, but who would have thought that this woman was willing to fight against him for such a girl.
Thinking of this, Song Shichang couldn't help but glance at Hua Manyi, secretly looking at it, what is there about this woman that deserves Gong Yan's favor, or is there something in her that Gong Yan needs?
Hua Manyi and Yuan Nai leaned on each other, looking at Gong Yan in a daze, frowning slightly, it wasn't that she couldn't understand what they said, on the contrary, she was shocked and surprised only when she understood it.
She knew that Mama Gong was kind to her, but she didn't know that she would be so kind to her, so good that even Song Shichang, an old thief, would be afraid to use chips to protect herself.
It felt so unreal for the first time.
Suddenly, seeing the other party looking over, Hua Manyi met her gaze, and there was always a lazy look in the faint eyes. For a moment, electricity flowed through her body, and she couldn't help but glance away.
No matter who it is, as long as she is willing to lend a helping hand when she is in deep trouble, she will be grateful.
Gong Yan retracted his gaze without haste, took a puff of cigarette, thought that Song Shichang had almost thought about it, and continued, "Besides, you have beaten everyone, so don't push yourself too hard."
Song Shichang glanced at the Xu and Wang families on the opposite side, his expression relaxed slightly, and after much deliberation, he finally decided not to hit this snag, "Since Madam Gong is strong enough to protect, then I don't want to be such a bad person, I will sell Gong cigarettes to save face .”
Gong Yan sneered, and didn't say anything about accepting the face he gave, nor about what would happen in the future. Song Shichang felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
"Miss Manyi, please." The man behind Gong Yan stood in front of Hua Manyi and made a gesture of invitation to her.
Hua Manyi glanced at the woman behind the man, and then looked back at Song Shichang, with a flash of resentment.Even though the old thief took away the Hua family's seal and slandered his mother, no matter how angry he is now, it won't help.
It is impossible for her alone to fight against this old and cunning man.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly pulled Yuan Nai up, "Yu Nai, let's go."
"Yeah." Yuan Nai was about to follow her, but a hand was blocking her, it was the man in black suit beside Song Shichang.
Both of them were taken aback, Hua Manyi couldn't help but say, "Song Shichang, what do you mean?!"
Song Shichang was leaning on crutches, his face was not angry but mighty, "This old man is not easy to fool, you belong to Gong Yan, but Yuan Nai is not, someone has to bear the price for this matter tonight!"
The man in the black suit pointed his gun at Yuan Nai again. Hua Manyi felt her trembling even while holding her hand. In fact, the fear in his heart was not much less than hers.
Yuan Nai is her friend who shares weal and woe, and Mama Gong just...
But she couldn't watch Yuan Nai die in front of her own eyes.
"Man Yi, you go with Gong Mama first, I...
...alone. "Yuan Nai took advantage of Hua Manyi's inattention with a pale face, and suddenly pushed her into Gong Ma's arms.
The next moment, Song Shichang's men immediately surrounded her, pointing their dark muzzles at her forehead.
"Yuan Nai!" Hua Manyi turned her head from Gong Ma's arms in horror, looked at the thin figure in the crowd, and cursed loudly, "You are crazy!"
If the two of them were together, at least Song Shichang, an old thief, would still be scruples about Gong's mother, and would not dare to do it easily.
"Manyi, I'm not crazy." Yuan Nai took a deep breath, trying to ignore the endless fear brought about by the black muzzle of the gun, "Gong Mama worked so hard to save you, I am very grateful to her, Manyi, I shouldn't become your burden..."
Yuan Nai paused, "Man Yi, don't worry about me, it's Yuan Nai's life whether I live or die today."
"It's quite backbone." Song Shichang put the cigar in his mouth and took two puffs. "Unfortunately, backbone is the most despised thing."
"Do it." Song Shichang also became more vigilant, and if he didn't do anything again, he might have a long night and more dreams, and more accidents would happen.
"Wait!" Yuan Nai's face faded, and the hands under the hanging skirt unconsciously clenched, and he said with difficulty, "Before you die, can you let me know why you framed my father in the first place? Our Yuan family treats you well, you Why did the Song family want to bite back!"
This is what she has been unable to figure out. Song Shichang used to be just an inconspicuous poor scholar. The previous dynasty died, and his family was considered poor. The scholar who worked so hard had no hope of becoming an official in the imperial examination. Under the road is the way out given to him by his father, and later saw that he was a malleable talent, so he helped him little by little to become his right-hand man.
Even when he set up a family business, his father personally gave him the abbot.
Yuan Nai recalled what her mother told her back then, and thought that the Huasan family in Yuan and Song Dynasties were brotherly brothers, but the reality gave her a slap in the face.
The story of the farmer and the snake... For the first time, she really felt the coldness and fear.
Song Shichang looked at Yuan Nai, who looked a bit like Yuan Lu, and squinted his eyes.
"Master?" Someone reminded him from the side.
Song Shichang came back to his senses, his eyes turned hard, and he said, "You will never know, do it."
"Yuan Nai!" Hua Manyi's pupils dilated, and Gong Yan held her tightly.
The man in the black suit pulled the trigger almost as soon as he got the order, but in the darkness, a bullet pierced the air and whizzed through the air and sank into his wrist, splashing a smear of blood on Yuan Nai's face.
With a muffled grunt, the gun fell into the snow with a clatter.
No one noticed that there was a man standing behind Yuan Nai, with a tall and slender figure, walking out of the endless night, and the absolute oppression of the dark guards approached the city, forcing the two giants of Haicheng not far away to the corner in one fell swoop, without daring to fart Let it go, open a way out.
Mama Gong took a puff of cigarette calmly, and tightened the person in her arms.
The cigar in Song Shichang's hand hadn't been smoked for a long time, and the crowd was silent, only the smoke from the cigar was moving.
"Master Song, can you tell me, what kind of hands are you moving?"
A woman's cold voice came from behind, and Yuan Nai shuddered.
--up to you
Obviously that sentence that made her sour and bitter is still vivid in her memory, but now she feels so relieved that she wants to cry.
Yuan Nai turned his head back with difficulty, looked at her with a small face splattered with blood, watched her frown a little bit, and also watched her long legs stepping over, and slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face in a daze.
"Yue Ji..." She felt the tenderness in her hands, and murmured in a trance.
Yue Ji lowered her eyes, her eyes moved slightly, and she hummed as a response.
The movement of his hands stopped, he took Yuan Nai's cold hand, and looked at Song Shichang opposite him with a calm expression.
Yuan Nai stared at it for a while with lowered eyebrows.
"Miscantes..." Song Shichang struggled to open his mouth after a long while. He knew it. During the last family dinner, he knew that Yuan Nai had a good relationship with this woman.
But wasn't Yuan Nai kicked out by her disgust a few days ago?
Come?
"Master Song, I wonder if I have the honor to listen to you talk about the grievances between the Song family and the Yuan family?"
When the words fell, everyone was stunned. Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out what she meant by her words. She was not a party to the Yuan and Song Dynasties, let alone a victim. She asked this question because she wanted to hear gossip ?
The most shocking thing was Yuan Nai who was holding her hand. Her mind was not dull. She had just asked this question a moment before, but she was rejected and threatened by Song Shichang, but this woman...
Yuan Nai looked up at her graceful side face in a daze, was she standing up for herself?
After all, Song Shichang was the biggest businessman in Haicheng, and it was easy to figure out people's hearts, and he knew the meaning as soon as the words came out.
It was nothing more than wanting to support Yuan Nai. If Yuan Nai didn't ask, she asked for her, and he, Song Shichang, had to tell his face.
Thinking of this, Song Shichang looked at Yuan Nai who was beside her. He was pretty, and his pitiful appearance was endearing. No wonder the Countess liked her.
It's just that when he thought that he was the head of the Song family, and that the eldest brother of the South Sanxing would humiliate such a woman one day, Song Shichang tightened his jaw, his face was slightly cold.
If I had known earlier, I should have cut the weeds and rooted them out!
"Miscantes, what do you mean?" Song Shichang put away his expression and began to pretend to be confused.
"If Master Song doesn't want to say it, then there's no need to say it forever."
Yue Ji narrated indifferently, but the guard behind him immediately raised his spear and pointed it at Song Shichang, and at the same time pointed at the Xu and Wang families who were about to move.
The faces of Xu and Wang were ashen. How could their troops be as good as a dignified earl?
"Song Shichang, you should hurry up and talk."
"Yeah, stop moaning here, it's a big deal to call everyone, who knows it's against two little girls!"
Now that the two masters of Xu and Wang have arrived, they finally know what Song Shichang called them to do, to deal with the descendants of the Gong family, the crocodile in Nancheng, and the famous countess in Haicheng.
Neither of these two can be offended, Song Shichang, the old thief, is simply asking them to accompany him to die!
How could they do what he wanted!
Unable to pretend to be foolish, and being teased and ridiculed by his former partners, Song Shichang couldn't hold back, the cruelty in his eyes flashed past, but he put it away very well, "Shut up!"
Song Shichang snapped, "Don't forget that you and I are grasshoppers on the same boat!"
One is prosperous, one is prosperous, one is dead.
"Song Shichang, come on, it's funny, it's just Nansanxing." Among them, the Silk Wang family couldn't help but retort.
"Do you really think that we haven't left a way out for ourselves all these years? Song Shichang, I really don't know whether to laugh at your arrogance and ignorance or stupidity. You dared to do what you did back then, and you have the ability to tell it all in front of Yuanlu's daughter! "
Song Shichang stood in front of him with a cane, "I just hope that Mrs. Gong can move a little bit, so that the old man won't miss your eyes when he lectures others."
