Chapter 722: The Young Phoenix’s Cry Shakes the World (25)

"Meihua, ahead is Dafang County, which is Fatty Shang's hometown." Wu Ya said loudly, pointing to the outline of the city wall looming not far away. "He still has his father and mother, a daughter-in-law and a six-year-old baby at home. I wonder what will happen to them in the future after Fatty Shang is gone?"

"What should I do? I told you that I will take care of Fatty Shang's family from now on." Mei Hua snorted, "Are you kidding me? In the battle with the Palace Guards, if Fatty Shang hadn't replaced him in the end, If I get stabbed, it's me who will die." After saying this, Mei Hua whipped up her whip and roared, and the horse ran forward like an arrow from its string.

Looking at Mei Hua's back, Wu Ya couldn't help but shook his head with emotion. This kid used to be a gangster in his hometown. He didn't expect that he was a completely different person now and could shoulder such an obligation. He was really unworthy of his father. , his father, in his hometown, that is the famous Plum Peeling, Iron Rooster.

Approaching the county seat, the roads gradually widened and there were more and more pedestrians. Dafang County is not far from Hejian County and has convenient transportation. It is the wealthiest county besides Hejian. At the gate of the city, two rows of soldiers holding weapons Standing with a spear, everyone who enters the city gate must throw two copper coins into a box at the door.

"Money to enter the city!" The two of them were no strangers to this thing, but this thing was not available in Jishi County. They did not expect that Hejian County had been attached to Zhengdong Mansion for so long. No cancellations.

Mei Hua took out four copper coins from his arms and threw them into the box. When he was about to move forward, he was stopped by a guard guard, "Brother, you two only have four copper coins, but you still have four coins." Where are the two horses?”

"You also need to pay for horses?" Mei Hua's eyes widened.

"Of course you have to pay for the horse." Listening to Mei Hua's unkind tone, the guard guard's voice became louder, "Are the two of them not locals? This is a common practice and has been like this for many years."

Both of them were wearing casual clothes at this time. Although they looked a little more impressive than ordinary people, they were not that surprising. Wu Ya wanted to have a fit when he saw Mei Hua, but he didn't want to get into trouble, so he took out four items from his arms. A few copper coins were thrown into the box, "Four is four, Mei Hua, we have to do business, we don't have time to hang around here, let's go!"

"This brother is still sensible." The soldier guarding the gate smiled and said to Mei Hua: "This is a rule of Dafang County, and it is not aimed at you two. Take a walk and remember. It will still be like this when you leave the city."

Mei Hua snorted and just led the horse. After passing through the city gate, she turned back to Wu Ya and said, "How come we didn't have the money to enter the city when we were in Jishi City? It seems that the governor doesn't agree with this thing at all. I'll wait until I have time." , I have to write a letter to Captain Dasha and ask him to tell the commander about this matter."

"Company Commander Dasha is a soldier. This is civil affairs and has nothing to do with it. How can you be a company commander when you are full?" Wu Yachi smiled, "Don't waste your efforts. Even if you write it, the company commander will probably take it." Went to pawn toilet paper.”

"Don't hit me hard. By the way, where is Fatty Shang's address? I forgot about it because of your anger."

"Nancheng Wuyi Alley."

"Then let's go quickly, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get this done. We have to report to General Ye Zhen first, and then pick up the two battalion leaders and seize the time to train. Half a year, half a year later, Dasha The company commander came to check and accept, you know what kind of **** he is, Wu Ya, why do I feel something is wrong? This butt is so hot, I feel that when the time comes, I will be kicked by him no matter what." Mei Hua raised his head. He sighed, "When I was a big-head soldier, I got my butt kicked by him.

Now that I have become an official, I still can't change this fate. Why is my life so miserable! "

"Let's go quickly. If you get an advantage and act like a good boy, if it weren't for Company Commander Dasha, where would we be today? Didn't you hear that the day we left, Guo Laowen said that the two of us were the two people who were promoted fastest in the history of the Eastern Expeditionary Army?" Wu Yabian Flat mouth.

"That's right. Commander Shangguan became the commander of the Guards, and our silly company commander should also be a division commander. Tell me, why did Guo Laowen become a division commander?"

"I heard the veterans say privately that Guo Laowen is older than Company Commander Dasha. The veterans would rather offend Company Commander Dasha and get beaten up than offend Guo Laowen. His nickname is There is a history.”

"I know!" Mei Hua snorted, "On the first day we registered, we were tricked by this guy."

Compared with the main street of Dafang County, Wuyi Alley is much narrower. The street, which is more than one meter wide, would be too cramped if you lead a horse in. The two tied their horses outside Wuyi Alley and walked in. this street.

It can be seen that the people living in this alley should be relatively poor people. The walls are mottled and dilapidated, and there are holes in many places. The moss in the corners extends to the wall, and from time to time some will flow out from the corners. Sewage, the whole street, exudes an unpleasant stench.

"This is where Fatty Shang lived before?" Mei Hua was a little suspicious, "It looks like he was very poor. How could he raise a fat man like Fatty Shang?"

"Fatty Shang used to kill pigs and sell meat, and there was no shortage of oil and water. His family's financial situation was actually pretty good. It was only later that Fatty Shang was stabbed and fled to Liaoxi. Later, he joined the Eastern Expedition Army. Hey, what are you doing? Don't know anything?" Wu Ya asked strangely.

"Before, Fatty Shang didn't like me, and I also thought he was not right, so I didn't bother to ask about his affairs, unlike you who are always nosy." Mei Hua sighed, "But I really didn't expect that at that moment, Fatty Shang would actually block the knife for me."

"Because you are comrades-in-arms!" Wu Ya sighed, "If it were me, even if I wanted to kick you into the gutter, I would help you block the knife when you were about to be stabbed."

Mei Hua smiled, "Wu Ya, can't you be nicer to your brother-in-law!"

"Get lost!" Wu Ya was furious. "My sister won't follow you."

"Just wait and see!" Mei Hua said with a smile, and when she saw Wu Ya's fists were already clenched, she quickly changed the subject and grabbed a passerby by the side, "Brother, may I ask which house Shang Jing is in?"

"Shang Jing?" The man looked puzzled.

"It's Fatty Shang, who used to sell meat in this alley." Wu Ya added.

"Fat Shang, I don't know, I don't know!" When he heard it was Fatty Shang, the man's face changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away. Mei Hua and Wu Ya were both puzzled.

After asking several people in a row, all of them said the same thing, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious, "What's going on? Even if Fatty Shang is not popular, there shouldn't be anyone to show us the way? And he has been away from home for more than three years, how could this be, there must be something strange inside." Wu Ya said.

"Of course there is something strange!" Mei Hua snorted and said, "Wuyi Lane is only this big, we can find them even if we knock on the door one by one."

After saying this, Mei Hua walked to the door of a house and knocked hard on the door. "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man opened the door and looked at Mei Hua and Wu Ya, "Who are you looking for?"

"Uncle, please ask the fat man Shang Jing to stay in that house. We are his friends." Mei Hua tried to make his tone sound more friendly, with a smile on his face.

But when the man heard the words "fat man Shang Jing", his face changed drastically, and he tried to close the door with both hands. But Mei Hua was prepared when he knocked on the door. He pressed one hand on the door. With his hand strength, the man could not move the door even if he tried his best. Mei Hua still had a smile on his face, but he lifted his clothes with the other hand and shook it in front of the man. What caught the man's eyes was a dagger with a sheath, and the threat was obvious.

The man shuddered and swallowed, "The third house from here is Shang Jing's house. I don't know anything about the others."

Mei Hua smiled and nodded at him, loosened his hand, and with a bang, the door closed tightly. Through the door, the man's hurried running could still be heard.

Mei Hua turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately. A very bad feeling came to his heart, "From here, the third house." He said simply, took a big step and walked forward, and Wu Ya hurriedly followed.

When he came to the door, Mei Hua raised his hand to knock on the door, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down again. After doing this again and again, he finally knocked on the door.

The door was opened, but it was not the person they imagined. There were only an old couple in the Shang family, and a woman with a child, but the one who opened the door and appeared in front of them was a middle-aged man.

"Is this Shang Jing's house?" Mei Hua asked.

"Shang Jing, I don't recognize him!" The middle-aged man said impatiently, "You've found the wrong place."

"Impossible!" Mei Hua said angrily, "Someone just told us that this is Shang Jing's home. Who are you and why are you in Shang Jing's home?"

Seeing Mei Hua's rage, the man softened immediately, "Brother, I just bought this courtyard, less than half a month ago, I really don't know Shang Jing."

"This is Shang Jing's home. You bought his house, but you don't know his family? Where are his parents, wife and son?" Mei Hua asked.

"Brother, I really don't know. I bought it from Mr. Gong. It was a cash transaction. I paid the money in one hand and got the house in the other."

"Mr. Gong? Who is he?"

"Gong Dezhi, the largest businessman in Dafang County, a rich man, very powerful, and with a scary background." The man said quickly.

Shang's courtyard, why is it Mr. Gong who is selling it? Mei Hua and Wu Ya looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts. [End of this chapter]
