Chapter 5 My Liang family is full of loyal heroes [Thanks to the leader of "A Good Bird Chooses a Tree to Roost" for the reward]

"It's just luck."

Liang Yue hesitated for a long time and could only say this.

Seemingly modest, but actually very sincere.

"I will hand over the letter right away to ask for credit for you." Hu Tiehan said, "You have really made a great contribution this time."

Liang Yue asked with a smile: "Can I become a regular employee?"

"It can be considered, but it depends on the superior's opinion." Hu Tiehan replied: "After all, the main credit still has to be attributed to Zhengwei. It's hard to say whether you have contributed enough from Wei."

"Brother Hu." Chen Ju put his hands on the table and said, "The credit for this time should go to the two of them. I was just assisting from the side. Just give me a credit for the second place. It's fine if I don't give them any credit."

"Don't mess around." Hu Tiehan said immediately: "Your family sent you to the station to let you accumulate merits. It's not often that you come across such a big fish."

"I'm not kidding." Chen Ju said seriously, "Liang Yue and Da Chun need this credit more. I'm already a regular guard, and my boss is still alive. I can't be promoted to guard officer no matter how anxious I am. I'll give this first credit to them. If I can make them regulars right away, that would be the best."

Liang Yue looked at Chen Ju with gratitude.

This time he didn't refuse.

Pang Chun was also touched and patted his shoulder, saying, "Chen Ju, you are so kind."

"..." Only Hu Tiehan frowned, feeling that although these words were touching, there was something strange about them.

After a brief chat, the three of them left with a smile, went to treat their wounds and rest for a while. When they were about to go home in the evening, Liang Yue asked again.

"What happened to the arsonist?" he asked. "Did he tell me why he committed the crime?"

Hu Tiehan's expression was full of mystery. "The case has been closed and the credit has been given to you. Why are you still concerned about this?"

"I don't think he committed the crime on his own initiative. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing him, so I want to ask him." Liang Yue said truthfully.

Phosphorus powder in this era was not so easy to make. It should be the Ministry of Works of the imperial court or some Qi-refining practitioners who practiced alchemy that might have some secret recipes circulating. It was definitely not something that an old farmer selling sour plum soup could easily get.

"Ahem..." Hu Tiehan cleared his throat and said, "The case ends here. You don't have to worry about it anymore. I'll send someone to handle the follow-up matters."

"What?" Liang Yue frowned and immediately thought of the connection. "Is the mastermind behind this very powerful?"

But then he thought about it again and felt it was a bit strange, "Which big shot would send people to set fire to Fukangfang? This is too embarrassing. Is it a gangster force?"

"You are indeed smart, but remember to be more restrained. Some things will stay in your stomach once they leave this room..." Hu Tiehan knew that he could not hide it from him, so he had to say, "The mastermind behind this incident is the Dragon Tooth Gang."

"Dragon Fang Gang?"

In Longyuan City, probably everyone knows about this gang. As a huge gang, the most prosperous streets in South City are all under the jurisdiction of the Longya Gang, including Hongxiufang.

Even a three-year-old child knows that Boss Hong from the Dragon Tooth Gang is the most powerful man in South City.

However, they seldom fought, robbed or caused trouble like ordinary people in the market. They were always very well-behaved, paying tribute to the various government offices in secret without hesitation, and would never provoke people in the government.

So Liang Yue had only heard of him and had no chance to meet him.

"Why would they do such a thing? Even if a shop provokes them, it is impossible for the entire Linmen Street to be enemies with them, right?" he continued to ask.

"Then you don't need to know. Even I don't know." Hu Tiehan shook his head and said, "You just need to remember that if we want South City to be stable, we have to give the Dragon Fang Gang some face."

He pointed upwards again, "It's connected to the sky."

……

The arson case was solved, and there was no need for additional night patrols, so Liang Yue was able to finish work early and go home.

When passing by Linmen Street, the shops along the street all greeted him warmly: "Liang Duwei! Come home!"

"Would you like a bowl of wontons?"

The old couple in the tavern greeted them warmly: "Come to the store for dinner tomorrow, it's my treat."

"..."

Fukangfang is not big, and the news that Liang Yue helped them catch the arsonist spread in one evening. Before, everyone saw him as an unfamiliar young guard, and at most they were afraid of his official uniform. Now he is a person who has helped everyone do practical things, so his attitude is naturally different, and his tone is much more friendly.

However, Liang Yue still felt a little guilty. The real murderer had not been punished, and the people of Linmen Street were not completely safe.

But those were things beyond his ability, and he couldn't force himself to take care of them.

Fortunately, he had made a great contribution today, and there was hope for his permanent job, so he was always in a good mood. When he passed by a pastry shop, he bought two kilograms of jujube cakes, which his younger brothers and sisters loved.

His home was in Ping'an Alley, a few blocks away from the station, not too far away, and he was back in a moment. As soon as he entered the alley, he heard a loud and sharp soprano voice.

"You deserve to be chopped into pieces, you beast. You're holding two balls of dung in front of your eyes, and you don't even know whose house this is! My Liang family is full of loyal and brave people! How can we allow you to be so presumptuous..."

"If you dare to come over here again, I will destroy you!" "I just barked like a dog, but you come back even half a step and see if I will put your dog leg in the pot!"

"..."

The sound was so irritating that the neighbors immediately left the street and closed the doors and windows that were originally open one after another, for fear of accidentally eating melons.

Liang Yue hurried back home.

I saw a stout woman standing in front of my house. Her delicate skin showed that she must have been a beauty when she was young, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the slightly gray hair showed the vicissitudes of life.

It was Liang Yue’s mother, Li Caiyun.

The number one person in Ping'an Alley whom no one dares to mess with.

"My Lady..." Liang Yue stepped forward and quickly grabbed her, "What's going on? Who has offended you again?"

"No one messed with me." Li Caiyun said angrily, still looking at the other side of the alley.

"Who are you scolding?" Liang Yue asked.

"Scold the dog." Li Caiyun said.

"Ah?" Liang Yue was stunned. So, even mother and dog can fight each other?

"We are a family of loyal heroes, and our doors must be kept clean. This beast actually dared to pee in front of our house. I can't say enough when I scold it!" Li Caiyun was still not satisfied, "If I catch it, I will castrate it completely!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liang Yue pushed her back into the courtyard and said, "Let's go back and eat. I'm hungry."

"Xiaoyun and Xiaopeng are back and are waiting for you." After hearing what he said, Li Caiyun put her hands on her hips and went back to the house.

The Liang family's courtyard is divided into five or six small rooms. The food has been prepared in the kitchen, including two plates of stir-fried dishes and a bowl of light soup.

In the early years, Li Caiyun worked as a clothes mender to raise three children, and the Liang family was poor for a long time. After Liang Yue went out to work, he had an extra income, and now the situation has improved a little, but it is just barely enough to make ends meet.

This is also an important reason why he is eager to become a regular guard. If there is a regular guard, the conditions of the Liang family will be better.

Although life was poor, the atmosphere among the family was still good.

Two young people, a boy and a girl, were already seated at the table.

My younger sister Liang Xiaoyun was wearing a long pink and white silk dress, with her hair gently tied up, her face bare, her eyebrows thin and her eyes almond-shaped, her face thin and elegant. Her shoulders and neck were as white as fine porcelain, and her waist was smooth and slender.

She is at the age of growing up. She is tall and thin. She looks fresh as she sits there, like a small white flower that has just sprouted.

The younger brother Liang Peng looks a bit like Xiaoyun, with a face as white as jade, handsome features, and a slightly thin build. He is a gentle and elegant young man.

They are twins who were born together. They are both sixteen years old this year, so it is normal that they look alike.

Only Liang Yue, who was born two years earlier, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features were quite different from those of his younger brothers and sisters.

The three of them all had a gentle look in common, and looked harmless. The neighbors in the alley said that it was rare that Li Caiyun, such a fierce person, could raise three such kind-hearted children.

When Liang Peng saw Liang Yue, he quietly made a "three" gesture with his fingers. Liang Yue understood, nodded slightly, and then sat down calmly.

Li Caiyun sat down and said, "Ever since you became the Imperial Guard, you've been leaving early and coming back late every day, and our family has rarely gathered together for dinner."

"You can't blame me entirely." Liang Yue said with a smile: "Xiao Yun and Xiao Peng are busy with their studies now, and they often come home late."

"Yes, you have all grown up." Li Caiyun sighed and asked, "How are you two doing in the academy? Is everything going well? Are there any classmates bullying you?"

"Mother, how is that possible?" Liang Xiaoyun replied softly, "Our Zhulin Academy only accepts girls. We are all very close to each other, and the teacher in the academy likes me very much, too."

"The teachers in our Nanshan Academy are all well-educated scholars, and the academy rules are very strict." Liang Peng also smiled and said, "My classmates and I are all close friends, and we have a lot of fun interacting with each other."

"That's good." Li Caiyun nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Liang Yue, "How are you? Is the work of a guard very tiring?"

"I was just about to tell my mother that I was lucky today and made a small contribution." Liang Yue said, "I should have a chance to be promoted to a regular guard."

"Oh, that's such a happy event!" Li Caiyun immediately smiled happily.

The family, with loving mother and filial children, finished the meal happily.

Then the three siblings drove their mother back to her room, cleaned up the dishes together, and went back to their respective bedrooms. When Li Caiyun returned to the room, the other three doors opened at the same time.

Two little heads popped out at the same time.

After looking around and finding that everything was safe, Liang Xiaoyun and Liang Peng went into Liang Yue's room.

"What's going on?" The three of them sat around a small table, and Liang Yue asked, "Another meeting?"

Liang Peng sat upright and answered slowly: "I had a fight with a classmate in the academy. His father is an official, and I am worried that he will retaliate against me. So I want to discuss with everyone to see how to deal with it."

　Thank you "A Good Bird Chooses a Tree to Perch on" for becoming the honorable and honorable leader of this book, the fifth leader! Thank you, thank you!
