    "Have you seen the robber?"

    Feng Shizhen was silent for a moment, then nodded, "It's just a black shadow. In dreams, sometimes he is a big black dog, trying to pounce on me, and sometimes it is a big stone, falling from the sky and knocking me down."  Do you remember what happened when you were three or four?¡±

    Rong Jiashang thought for a while and said, "I remember when I was very young, I was stung by a bee when I was playing in the garden and cried out in pain. Later I asked my nanny and she said it happened when I was three years old. And  Once, my wife gave birth to Fang Lin and Jia Xin. I went to rock the cradle, but I rocked it too hard and they both burst into tears. My wife rushed over and pushed me to the ground. That was also when I was three or four years old."

    "Okay," Feng Shizhen couldn't help but muttered, "Now it's my turn to feel sorry for you."

    Rong Jiashang chuckled and held Feng Shizhen's hand again, "Both of us are motherless children, and my father is in name only. We really should sympathize with each other."

    "Who has the same disease as you?" Feng Shizhen smiled, "My parents love me."

    "Yes, yes." Rong Jiashang sighed, "So, Shizhen, I envy you."

    The two of them didn't speak for a while.

    The tea shop in Nanqiao has changed its shopkeeper, and he is the son of the old shopkeeper.  Rong Jia explained the purpose of his visit and gave him a generous tip. The new shopkeeper immediately ran home and carried the old man on his back for the guest to ask questions.

    The old shopkeeper is blind, but his memory is good.  As soon as Rong Jiashang asked a few questions, he nodded and said: "I remember. The couple who died innkeepers were my cousin's nephew and his wife. How could I not remember? The mother and son who stayed there were  We came from the southwest in a donkey cart. The child's diaper was wet and he changed it on the table in the store. There was also a little girl at the time, how old was she."

    Feng Shizhen said softly: "Old man, that girl is me."

    The old shopkeeper was very shocked, "Are you the one who was rescued by someone passing by? Oh, you are really lucky!"

    Feng Shizhen asked: "Do you still remember where my mother said she came from?"

    The old shopkeeper shook his head, "They only sat for a while and then left. But your mother's accent sounds like someone from Guojia Town."

    Rong Jiashang raised his head suddenly and glanced at the old shopkeeper, "Are you sure it's Guo Jiazhen?"

    "What happened to Guojiazhen?" Feng Shizhen looked at Rong Jiashang in confusion.

    The old shopkeeper said: "It just sounds similar to me. The three of them also happened to come from the southwest. Over there, Guojia Town, Wanjin Township, and Futian Township all have similar accents. But when it comes to it, what happened that day is also different.  It¡¯s life.¡±

    "How do you say this?" Feng Shizhen asked.

    The old shopkeeper said: "Girl, when your mother came to my place, the sun had already set. My wife advised her to rest at the inn in the town and start the journey again tomorrow. But she said that someone was waiting to pick her up ahead.  Later, she thought it was too dark, so she changed her mind and rested at the east entrance of the town, and bumped into those people. If she had rested in the town at that time, how could she have encountered such a tragic disaster? "

    Feng Shizhen sat silently.

    Rong Jiashang asked: "Old man, do you remember who is driving the car?"

    The old shopkeeper said: "He is a young man. He calls that woman sister-in-law. I think she is her husband's brother-in-law."

    Feng Shizhen opened his eyes wide in surprise.  Rong Jiashang asked: "Don't you remember that you have an uncle?"

    Feng Shizhen shook his head, "I only remember riding in the car for a long time, but I can't remember the person who drove the car."

    When the tragedy happened that year, the patrol room came over and just went through the motions, without conducting a detailed investigation at all.  Only today did Feng Shizhen know that the coachman might have been his uncle.

    "But" the old shopkeeper added, "that man has a northern accent, is tall, and is not a local."

    Rong Jiashang asked hurriedly: "Is this person dead too?"

    "No." The old shopkeeper shook his head. "After the fire in the inn was put out, only three bodies were found: my cousin's nephew, his wife, and the woman. Our neighbors also discussed it, and we all thought this case was really strange.  ¡­¡±

    There were only four adults and two children in the inn.  Even if the youngest boy was taken away by the robbers, where did the man driving the bus disappear?

    ¡°The world is not peaceful. According to the tabloids in Shanghai, there will be murders today, kidnappings and robberies tomorrow. Small things like this are not even favored by the tabloids.  Such a case that happened outside a remote town did not involve celebrities, nor did it involve a large amount of money. The people in the patrol room were too lazy to spend energy to investigate, and they only concluded the case as robbery and murder by rogue bandits.

    Back to previous pageAlong the way, Feng Shizhen was worried and silent.

    Rong Jiashang said while making tea: "The man driving the car is very suspicious. Even if he is not the murderer, he should know the life experience of your parents. If you find him, you can at least trace your relatives."

    Feng Shizhen hummed absentmindedly, and suddenly said: "The place name Guojia Town sounds strangely familiar. I have never heard it mentioned before."

    Rong Jiashang paused and said, "Maybe I heard someone mention it in the Rong family. Our Rong family comes from Guojia Town."

    "Really?" Feng Shizhen was surprised, "What a coincidence. Who else is there in your hometown?"

    "One or two distant uncles." Rong Jiashang said, "My father left home to work hard when he was young, but a plague broke out in the countryside, and many close relatives died. My father escaped because he was away.  "

    Feng Shizhen thought of something, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "If my mother comes from Guojia Town, then we may be old relatives."

    "Maybe she's my cousin." Rong Jiashang pushed the hot tea in front of her.

    Feng Shizhen sneered: "If they are really relatives, then the flood will really destroy the Dragon King Temple."

    Rong Jiashang also laughed with her and said: "Shizhen, I will only ask once. If you don't want to continue the investigation, then I will stop. But if you want to find the murderer and find your brother, then I will  Let me help you get to the bottom of it!"

    Feng Shizhen put away his smile and looked seriously at the clear eyes of the young man in front of him.  This man was so handsome and lovable. After looking at him for a few more times, I felt the urge to kiss him.  God knows how much effort she had put into restraining this impulse since they met.

    Rong Jiashang held her hand and gently rubbed the back of her smooth hand with his thumb, ambiguously and full of love.

    "Use me, Sejin. I can do many things that you can't."

    Because of these words, Feng Shizhen laughed meaningfully and bitterly.

    "I know. Ihave known it for a long time."

    It was already dark when the train arrived in Shanghai.  Feng Shizhen got out of the car and just took her suitcase from the waiter when she heard someone calling her loudly.

    Feng Shixun pushed aside the crowd and rushed over quickly. He took Feng Shizhen and looked him up and down, and asked: "How is it? Is the journey going smoothly? I'm sorry, Shizhen, my eldest brother really couldn't leave yesterday."

    Feng Shizhen was like a student who was caught skipping class. All the hairs on his back stood up, and he subconsciously glanced behind him with the corner of his eye.

    Rong Jiashang, however, was very sensible. He put his hat on his head as soon as Feng Shixun made a sound, turned sideways, and slipped away along with the crowd leaving the station under the escort of his two men.

    Feng Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief, held his brother's arm and said with a smile: "Then the eldest brother wants to apologize to me! Can you please invite me to Wangfulou for a supper?"

    Just when the Feng brothers and sisters were happily eating supper, Rong Jiashang also returned to Rong Mansion.

    It¡¯s late at night, but the lights in Rong¡¯s house are still brightly lit.  There was a card table set up in the chess and card room, and Mrs. Rong was playing mahjong with her third uncle's wife. Du Lanxin, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, was actually there to keep her company.  Rong Dingkun and several male guests gathered at the table. Yang Xiucheng sat at the card table calmly, threw a card, and nodded politely towards Rong Jiashang.

    And because Yang Xiucheng was there, Rong Fanglin managed not to go to bed. Instead, he sat next to Yang Xiucheng and helped him read the cards.

    His son had gone out of town for two days without saying hello. When he saw his son back, Rong Dingkun frowned and wanted to scold him, but then he remembered that his relatives were still there, so he had to change his words and said, "Lan  Xin came over and presented two boxes of good wine that her elder brother brought back from Europe. I know you are busy with work recently, but you also have to find time to spend more time with your fianc¨¦e. "

    Since the matter has not been revealed yet, we still have to do things to save face.  Rong Dingkun still plays the role of a serious and fair quasi-father-in-law.  #####(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
