On the bank of the Heijiang River, the water is surging. This is not the Nanbeiying Ferry, but an extremely turbulent section of the river in the west of Nanping.
Sitting on the loess river bank, Chen Rongfu was breathing heavily, his body and hands were wrapped in white gauze like rice dumplings. On the other side stood several men in cloth shirts who came to pick him up. As for those confidants in Nanping City who participated in rescuing him from prison, almost all of them were killed, many of them died from sniper rifles. Only he, who had been hugging Lu Ming's neck, was not shot by a sniper.
"They are the subordinates of Boss Qiu from Beiheishan." Chen Rongfu laughed bitterly.
There is also Heishan in the north of the Yangtze River. It seems that the Heishan in the south of the Yangtze River was originally a mountain range that was cut in half by the Heijiang River. It is called Beiheishan in the north of the Yangtze River. The deep mountains and forests are where bandits are rampant.
It seems that Chen Rongfu is also connected with the bandits inside.
"Commissioner Zhang, please do as you please!" Chen Rongfu gritted his teeth, "That bitch Qian Yu Fangzi, one day I will go back to settle accounts with her! And ask her clearly why she harmed me?!" Looking at Lu Ming, "Whether you believe it or not, I have never seen the seventh concubine."
Lu Ming smiled: "I believe it!"
Hmm? Chen Rongfu looked at Lu Ming in a strange way.
There were a few subtle sounds of sharp objects cutting through the air, and several men in cloth shirts over there fell down one after another as if they were suddenly cast under a spell.
Chen Rongfu was startled, and just as he reached for his waist, a figure appeared beside him: an old lady with a hunched back, wearing a cloth shirt and black pants, with the demeanor of a country woman.
However, Chen Rongfu did not dare to move. He slowly retracted his hands and raised them to show the strange old lady.
The old lady remained motionless, as if she was asleep.
"You didn't mean to kill me, but to let me go. You didn't mean to hurt me. If I said I wanted to kill you, it would be unkind of me." Lu Ming shook his head. "But you just think that killing me won't do you any good. If you keep me, you can still do me a big favor in case you need me in the future... So, I don't appreciate your kindness."
Chen Rongfu's body froze, he slowly turned around and looked at Lu Ming in shock, his tongue shrinking involuntarily.
"You've killed a lot of people, escapee from the south. So, you probably don't know who Wang Xiaoying is. She's just a little girl I met once. Life is hard, so I don't care about that much. But there was a kind and lovely girl who talked to me. I have a deep impression of her." Lu Ming was silent for a while, then turned to look at him. "Yes, you've ended up like this today not because you've done a lot of evil, but because you've offended me. It's ironic, isn't it?"
Lu Ming sighed softly and looked up at the sky. "This world is so ironic." He paused and said, "There is a drug in the south. After it is injected, no matter how painful it is, you will not faint. Because fainting is a protective mechanism of our body. When there is unbearable pain, the brain enters a fainting state to escape the pain, and this drug can block this protective mechanism of the brain."
"Who are you?" With a bitter smile, Chen Rongfu shook his head, "There's no need for me to know..." Looking at Lu Ming, "I want to save my life. I have a lot of shady information about Nanping officials. I also have nearly a hundred spies in various industries in Nanping. I am the only one who has a single line of contact. Now I can pass it on to you. I even have dirty information about Gao Baoshan's successor, Gao Mingxue. I promise that if you master this dirty information, you can control him firmly in the future!"
Lu Ming smiled, "Do you think I am rare?! However, considering that you didn't want to kill me just now, I will give you a quick death!" He slowly stood up, patted his butt, and walked away.
Chen Rongfu looked at his back in astonishment. He had originally wanted to bargain, or at the very least, hope to die without suffering.
It's really chilling to hear about the effects of that medicine.
But he never imagined that these things that he regarded as treasures, things that could even create a huge wave in Nanping, this person didn't care at all and was too lazy to talk to him.
Weapons that are priceless to any ambitious person in Nanping are worthless in his eyes.
So, who is he
Chen Rongfu's eyes were filled with astonishment, and suddenly a red dot appeared on his temple. Then, he fell to the ground suddenly, thumped twice, and then he was silent.
…
Nanping Central Hospital, Lu Ming was lying in the VIP ward.
Carefully cut the apples into pieces, keeping the different sizes aside.
In the past few days, many people came to see him, and Gao Baoshan came twice.
Chen Rongfu and Boss Qiu have been secretly colluding, and the news that they have entered Beiheishan has spread.
Gao Baoshan seemed very glad that Commissioner Zhang returned safely, otherwise it would have been a huge trouble.
As for the case of Governor Ren's future seventh concubine, it has already been reported. Governor Ren can only leave it to fate as to what he thinks.
Today, Chen Rongfu’s family has been ransacked. According to the tradition of some old-school warlords in the Northern Territory, the relatives of so-called traitors will either be thrown into prison or sold into slavery.
There was another knock on the door outside the ward. Da Guo and Xiao Guo went to open the door, but it was Gao Yuhu who came in.
"This Chen Rongfu, next time I see him, I will shoot him to death!" Gao Yuhu said in a sinister tone as he came to Lu Ming's bedside.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just feel a little suffocated. This is my first time being a prisoner. It's so embarrassing!"
"So what? Who could have thought of that? This Chen Rongfu is such a jerk. He asked you to go there just to take you hostage!"
Lu Ming shook his head and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Gao Yuhu sat down beside the bed and casually picked up a few apple pieces that were carved out of a mold and were exactly the same size and shape and stuffed them into his mouth. He swallowed them without a second thought, and he didn't feel how carefully the apple pieces were cut. He just exclaimed, "It's so sweet and tastes good. What kind of apple is this?"
Da Guo and Xiao Guo were looking at him fiercely from behind, fearing that if his master was not around, this guy would lose his head.
Gao Yuhu was unaware of this. He shook his head and said, "It's still a mess. Although the Marshal and that old bastard Cheng Dasui signed some kind of agreement, Cheng Dasui is making trouble again. Didn't the agreement say that Chengjiaji would be returned to him after a year as a buffer? He refused to do so and wanted to go back on his word, saying that you guys were carrying out land reform in Chengjiaji to win people's hearts and divided up his ancestral land. After that year, no one in the village recognized him as Cheng Dasui anymore."
Lu Ming nodded.
Gao Yuhu frowned again and said, "It's a mess here too, brother. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what you Heishan people did about the Cangyun Group was not fair. I'm speaking directly. To put it bluntly, aren't the Cangyun Group and Cangyun County now yours, Heishan?"
Lu Ming spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.
Gao Yuhu sighed, "Yes, I can't tell you, but I think that sooner or later we will have a fight, alas..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Not necessarily. Some things depend on what Gao Lushuai thinks. If he is open-minded, he may be able to adapt. But I don't think Gao Lushuai is an open-minded person."
Gao Yuhu nodded in agreement, then realized something was wrong. The content of their conversation seemed to be becoming more and more casual.
"Brother, take a good rest. Brother is leaving!" Gao Yuhu stood up.
