As Shi Junhe's adopted son and son-in-law, Wen Renchi was almost the backbone of the Shi family.
The day of the funeral was extremely busy.
When Junhe was buried, Wen Renchi offered incense.
The servant hurried over again, saying that something big happened in the city guard, and the president asked him to go back to the military camp immediately.
This is bullshit.
Since ancient times, filial piety has always been the priority. How could anyone use the word "work" at someone's funeral to call someone's son away from work
Even if Wen Renchi was just an adopted son, such behavior was too much.
But now the commander of the city defense army is still a good family member. The marriage of Mo Junyu and the good family's daughter Liang Zixin has consolidated the good family's status as a relative.
The prime minister on the right side of the court was still Liang Yuanming, but the president of the city guard army became Liang Yuanming's son Lianghong.
Lianghong didn't have much ability, but he was very addicted to officialdom, and he always had trouble getting along with Wen Renchi.
When he sees the right opportunity, he will trip up Wen Renchi.
This time, even if Wen Renchi really had an opinion, there was nothing he could do about it.
When the report is brought to the emperor, Lianghong can also say, "You are so incense-stricken, won't there be nothing wrong with you?" There are many public affairs now, but you are not allowed to do them. '
Wen Renchi had no choice but to explain the remaining trivial matters to Qingxue and Uncle Li, and hurried back to the military camp with a few soldiers.
In the military camp, several soldiers were carried to the school field. Each of them had injuries on their faces and mud on their bodies. It looked like they had experienced some kind of 'violent exercise'.
Taking a closer look, there are some people inside who are actually members of the Shi Family Army - the military camps of the City Guard Army and the Shi Family Army are right next door. They usually don't see each other with their heads up and down, just to supervise each other and make progress.
The City Guard Army and the Shi Family Army have always belonged to two camps, but the two sides have always gotten along harmoniously and there has never been any trouble.
But I didn't expect that when something went wrong, it would go as far as the president's office.
Wen Renchi rubbed his forehead with a headache. He didn't see Yoshihiro, so he had to step forward and ask, "What happened?"
One of the men with a scarred face immediately complained angrily to Wen Renchi: "Little general, they insulted our Shi family army and said bad things about General Shi."
The tall and thin man standing on the far right retorted: "Why have we insulted you? It's a fact that General Shi passed away! It's a fact that you can't defeat us now!"
Also talking about the wild wolf army, I think it’s more like wild cats! "
"Fuck your fucking shit!"
Scarface was so angry that he punched the tall and thin man. The latter nimbly dodged sideways and punched back again.
"How dare you fucking hit me! I'll beat you to death!"
Others were also driven by the anger of these two people and attacked each other one after another, fighting fiercely again.
Wen Renchi almost didn't get angry at the reckless behavior of these people.
“You all stop!
If you dare to take action again, you will be punished with a hundred sticks! "
The actions of both parties immediately stopped.
Wen Renchi stared at the scarred man and said, "Li Yang, don't think that I can't deal with you if I'm not around the Shi family army now! Everyone stand still for me!"
These words were more effective than the emperor's order. All the people on both sides relaxed their grip and spontaneously divided into two groups to line up and stand up straight.
It's more disciplined than being inspected.
However, the eyes of these soldiers were still burning with anger and resentment, which would not dissipate just because of Wen Renchi's words.
Wen Renchi originally wanted to reprimand him a few words, but his current status is embarrassing - he used to be a member of the Shi family army, but now he has become the left commander of the city defense army.
The palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are your own soldiers, and you cannot be biased.
Yoshihiro clearly dug a hole for him to jump into.
Wen Renchi thought about it for a while, said nothing, and directly announced the punishment: both sides had their own faults, and they had to fight in the military camp, and each would be punished with thirty sticks.
At the end, Wen Renchi looked at Scarface and said, "The Shi family's military discipline must not be violated!"
Li Yang froze when he heard this.
Wen Renchi ignored him and turned to stare at the tall, thin man who was shouting the loudest - He Ming. He said word by word in a low but solemn voice: "The Shi family's army will not collapse!"
He Ming was stunned when he heard this.
For a time, both sides, who were still aggrieved, stopped arguing, lowered their heads, and were too ashamed to argue.
The guard following Wen Renchi saw this and asked in a low voice: "General, are you still punished?"
Wen Renchi gritted his teeth and said, "Punishment!"
——
After Wen Renchi took care of military affairs, he was ridiculed by President Lianghong for a long time before he was finally able to go home.
Fortunately, sometimes Qingxue and his trusted housekeeper Uncle Li were there, and the burial was completed smoothly without any trouble.
Wen Renchi dragged his tired body and brain back to Wen Ren Mansion and listened to Uncle Li's report on various matters.
After finally breathing a sigh of relief, Shi Baoning pulled him and asked, "How did the thing I asked you to tell Qingxue today go?"
"What's the matter?" Wen Renchi didn't react at all.
When Shi Baoning heard that Renchi was pretending to be stupid, he frowned unhappily and complained: "You're pretending to be stupid with me again, right
I asked you to talk to Qingxue about military power. Did you say it? "
Shi Baoning did not say anything clearly this morning, but she thought that both of them should be well aware of the matter of military power and there was no need to say anything more.
Wen Renchi was even more confused than Shi Baoning at first, but now he heard Shi Baoning's words and frowned, "What do you mean?"
Shi Baoning repeated: "I asked you to find Qingxue and take back the military power of the Shi family army."
Wen Renchi's brows almost twisted into the word "Chuan" and his voice became deeper, "The military power is in Qingxue's hands. Who should I take it back to? You, mother, or Tianyou?"
Shi Baoning was short-sighted and only focused on petty profits. He is now the mainstay of the family, and he must think longer than the other party.
Although the current Shi family army is weak, the courage and completeness of the Shi family army to survive in desperate situations shown in the battle of Huwenpi are unique to this army.
And the person who inspired this power behind the scenes was Shi Qingxue.
Wen Renchi once imagined that if the person present at that time was him.
Can he achieve the level of Shi Qingxue
Even he himself wasn't sure of the answer.
Shi Baoning's face got hot when Wen Renchi said it, but he still insisted: "It doesn't matter who you give it to, but it can't be in her hands. What does she, a girl, know?"
He was probably still wary of the relationship between Wen Renchi and Shi Qingxue, so he didn't directly say that Shi Qingxue coveted the military power of the Shi family.
However, such words were extremely harsh in Wen Renchi's ears, "Now among the Shi family, apart from Qingxue, who else can control the Shi family army and convince them?"
Shi Tianyou definitely can’t do this little baby;
Shi Baoning is also impossible;
Even Shi Junhe’s wife Dong Hui can’t do it!
Shi Baoning was unwilling to give in, "We can't do it, what about you
You were brought out by your father, and you have been led by the Shi family army for such a long time. Can't you just make them obedient? "
Only now did Wen Renchi understand Shi Baoning's true intention. His face darkened and he said without hesitation: "Stop talking, I will not take over the Shi family army."
There is no room for negotiation at all.
Shi Baoning was surprised by his determination and shouted in surprise: "Why?"
Of course Wen Renchi can tell why—
Even though he is no longer as obsessed with the death of his biological parents as before, and he still hates the Shi family because of it.
It is even less possible for him to hate Shi Junhe.
But let him act like before, pretending that nothing happened, and then regard himself as a member of the Shi family army.
Even if others don't gossip, he can't get over this hurdle in his own heart.
Wen Renchi turned away and did not explain, but said coldly: "In short, I will no longer care about Shi Jiajun's affairs.
Besides, Qingxue now manages the Shi family's army in an orderly manner, so you and your mother don't need to worry about it. "
Shi Baoning didn't know that Wen Renchi was worried about him, and thought that the other person was giving up such power because he liked Shi Qingxue.
Give up your hands, just to make the beauty smile.
Shi Baoning exploded instantly and said angrily: "Wen Renchi! I think it's not that you don't want the power you have obtained, but you don't want to compete with Qingxue!"
"So what if I don't want to argue with her? She is my biological sister, I shouldn't argue with her in the first place!" Wen Renchi answered without any humility.
When these words were heard by Shi Baoning, they took on another meaning.
Shi Baoning scolded in a sharp voice: "My biological sister? I think she is my love sister!"
Wen Renchi's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded unhappily, "What are you talking about
If this word spreads, where will you put Qingxue's face? "
Until this moment, Wen Renchi was still most concerned about Shi Qingxue's reputation.
Shi Baoning laughed angrily, "Then where do you put my face
Wen Renchi, don’t think that if I don’t say anything, I really don’t know your dirty thoughts!
Let me tell you, the person you marry is me, and you can only love me for the rest of your life!
I don't allow you to love others! Especially not her, Shi Qingxue! "
For the first time, Wen Renchi's vague feelings for Shi Qingxue were completely exposed by Shi Baoning in such a hysterical tone.
Frank, hurtful, even slanderous.
Wen Renchi admitted that he had been devoted to Shi Baoning since they got married, and even in order to avoid suspicion, he would not meet Qingxue alone if possible.
They were obviously as close as one person in the best of times, but because of the word "avoiding suspicion", they couldn't even act like the most basic brother and sister.
He could only retreat to the safe distance of 'Brother-in-law Shi Qingxue'.
It’s painful to hear people burning!
But he is a man, and since he has made a choice, he must bear responsibility.
However, he never thought about what he tried his best to do.
In the end, he was described so badly by the person he cared about most.
Wen Renchi's eyes dimmed and he looked at Shi Baoning, extremely disappointed, "So I am this kind of person in your mind? Now that I have you, I still covet my wife and sister
If you insist on thinking so, then we have nothing to say! "
He turned around and walked out.
Shi Baoning regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. When he saw Renchi turning around to leave, he suddenly became more anxious and shouted anxiously: "We haven't finished talking yet! You are not allowed to leave!"
The command tone failed to stop Wen Renchi from walking faster, as if there was an evil ghost chasing behind him.
"Brother Chi, don't leave! I said the wrong thing, come back quickly!" Seeing that Wen Renchi was about to leave, Shi Baoning shouted even louder.
She panicked and wanted to chase him, but she didn't pay attention, tripped over the door railing, and fell forward.
"Miss!"
Jingyi opened her eyes wide in horror and quickly reached out to help, trying to protect Shi Baoning's big belly.
