Chapter 2861: Glorious Past

"So Rong Shengli also married the 21-year-old Jia Mingzhu in a low-key manner when he was sixteen..."

Although Jia Mingzhu is older than Rong Shengli and has average looks, she is not as sensible as Rong Shengli. She considers herself the hostess and benefactor of the Rong family all day long.

Moreover, she had a bad temper. If she didn't like things or didn't like them, she would scold and beat them. Many maids were punished by her to the point of death.

She even slapped members of the Rong family if she didn't like them.

Jia Mingzhu was kind to the Rong family and was a warrior, so almost no one could suppress her except her parents.

Even when Rong Shengli came home late from a party, she kicked him out of bed, which was extremely domineering, even though she never had any children.

Of course, this is normal. Jia Mingzhu was a quasi-eighth-grade master at the time, and Master Miaozhen was a ninth-grade master. The Rong family would simply be looking for trouble if they fought alone.

And to suppress people with power is also suppressed by family affection and kindness.

In those days, reputation was still extremely important.

However, Rong Shengli was not a wimp. He married three wealthy widows in one fell swoop.

Ye Tianlong was stunned when he heard this: "Widow?"

"That's right, Widow!"

Bailihua nodded: "I guess Rong Shengli was worried that the ladies would not be able to deal with Jia Mingzhu, so he specially married the richest widow at the time."

"These widows can take control of the situation on their own and run a prosperous business. Naturally, they are not small players."

"Although the Rong family thought Rong Shengli was crazy, they were exhausted by Jia Mingzhu's torture, so they just let Rong Shengli make trouble."

"I don't know what tricks Rong Shengli used to get three rich widows to marry in."

"Some say they are greedy for the power of the Rong family, some say they appreciate Rong Shengli's talent, and some say they long for the title of Mrs. Rong."

"In short, they married into the Rong family in a low-key manner and gave birth to three brothers and sisters, Rong Zong, Glory and Rong Susu."

Bailihua smiled and said: "Mother is more valuable than son. With huge wealth, and the three of them joining forces, Jia Mingzhu's arrogance has been reduced a lot."

Ye Tianlong frowned slightly: "Isn't Rong Guang born in Rong Shengli?"

"He was adopted. When Rong's father was worried that Rong Shengli would die suddenly and die without an heir, he arranged for a nephew to be his son."

Bailihua obviously found out the situation early: "Later, Rongguang's biological parents died in a car accident, so Rong Shengli let him into the Rong family."

"Said he is a son, but in fact his rank is equivalent to that of a servant or housekeeper."

Ye Tianlong nodded slightly, thinking of the almost transparent Rongguang, who was a guy that he couldn't see through.

Bailihua returned to the topic: "Later, I don't know what happened. After giving birth to a child, the wife of the richest family died of various accidents within three years."

"Some people say that a demon has entered the Rong family, some say that the Rong family has bad feng shui, and some say that Jia Mingzhu is jealous."

"Rong Shengli therefore built a building in the Rong family, called Sifang Building, which means to suppress the demons and ghosts from all directions."

"Third month after the death of the three wives, a forensic doctor who participated came out and said that the death of the three wives was not accidental and there were signs of overdose."

She told the news at the time: "And the three women all had perfume on Jia Mingzhu's body before she died."

"Although the doctor disappeared overnight and there was no evidence that the third lady was murdered, rumors still spread."

"Jia Mingzhu also came under great pressure and was regarded by everyone as the murderer."

"Not only did people petition the police to investigate Jia Mingzhu, but also servants who had been beaten and scolded by her in the past came forward to accuse her. It can be said that thousands of people have accused her."

"Although Rong Shengli used means to suppress the turmoil and expressed his utmost trust in Jia Mingzhu, Jia Mingzhu can no longer stand on her own."

"She left the capital and returned to Ashan Gate. She didn't take anything with her before leaving. She even left the dowry and sword manual given by Miaozhen to Rong Shengli."

"She has not returned to the capital in these years. It is more that Rong Shengli takes two hours to see her when he passes by the Eshan Gate."

Baili Hualuo said the last sentence: "Members of the Rong family avoided her and had no contact with her. They only respectfully addressed her as Lafayette."

"I didn't expect Rong Shengli to have such a past."

Ye Tianlong couldn't help sighing: "No wonder Rong Shengli is so self-centered and only loves himself. He turns out to be a person who has wandered through hell many times."

“But is today’s story putting the cart before the horse?”

Ye Tianlong smiled: "Compared to Rong Shengli's prosperous years, I want to hear Rong Guang's deeds more."

Bailihua exhaled a long breath: "There are glorious deeds, but at a glance, they don't seem to be of much value."

Ye Tianlong swung the club and watched the white ball fall into the hole: "It's okay, just treat it as a casual chat."

Bailihua nodded: "After Rongguang entered the Rong family, he knew his identity and status, so he kept his tail between his legs in the Rong family."

"Because of his self-knowledge and humility and transparency, neither Jia Mingzhu nor the rest of the rest of the family deliberately made things difficult for him."

"He had no stories from birth to the age of 20. He studied and lived step by step, without pretending, without fighting, and without grades."

Bailihua sighed: "He has been as calm as a line in the past twenty years."

Ye Tianlong's eyelids twitched, wondering about something in his heart.

Miao Tiannu next to him smiled: "A person who can live twenty years in a straight line is definitely not a mediocre and incompetent person."

"Because even the old monks in the mountains may not be able to reach his level."

Miao Tiannu sighed: "This is cultivation in the world of mortals."

When Ye Tianlong showed his approval, Bailihua smiled and changed the topic: "Your guess is somewhat correct."

"When I was twenty-one, my glory trajectory began to waver."

"That year, the capital was a mixed bag. He was appointed as the capital's defense officer, specifically responsible for dealing with dangerous people, such as people in the world..."

"On the first day Rong Guang took office, he announced that all people in the Jianghu should report to the city guard or leave the capital within one week. Anyone who does not comply will be shot."

"At that time, few people paid attention to Rongguang, and they felt that the official reputation was louder than rain."

"A week later, Rongguang really went on a killing spree. At least 600 people were killed in that sweep."

"That classic photo of a qigong master using his skills to fight against an anti-aircraft machine gun was left behind during Rong Guang's encirclement and suppression of Jianghu people."

"Although what Rongguang did made the capital a lot more stable, it also caused countless people to protest. What Rongguang did severely restricted their freedom to travel to and from the capital."

Bailihua reminded Ye Tianlong: "By the way, the ninth grade entered the capital without permission, refused to listen to persuasion to leave, and killed them without mercy. This was the policy left by Rongguang at that time."

"Did he come up with the policy?"

Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that this glorious method is indeed not simple."

"That's right. Although Rongguang has only worked for one year and has been away from the city guard for many years, many measures of the Ministry of Security are based on Rongguang."

Bailihua still gave some affirmation to Rongguang's actions: "It's just that the methods have become softer."

"After Rong Guang was accused and resigned, Rong Shengli did not let him stay in the capital and sent him to the southern coast to fight smuggling."

"In just one year, Rongguang blocked the financial path of Fatty Yang, the most outstanding smuggling king at the time."

"Fat Yang jumped over the wall and set fire to the hotel where Rongguang was staying. He burned dozens of public officials and files involved in the case to death. Rongguang narrowly escaped with his life."

"Then he arbitrarily mobilized troops to attack the Yang family and directly killed Fatty Yang's head who had moved in as a backer. You know, that backer is two levels higher than Rongguang."

"The merits and demerits are equal to each other. Rong Guang was arrested and imprisoned. Later, he was released on bail by Rong Shengli and left to maintain public security on the vast border."

"Another year, Rong Guang purged thirteen criminal organizations on the most wanted list, but he also killed everyone involved in the criminals."

She sighed quietly, as if feeling pity for Rong Guang.

Ye Tianlong said calmly: "I would rather kill than let him go."

Bailihua continued the previous topic: "That year, there were four or five uninhabited areas on the border, but the originally turbulent place began to become peaceful."

"Of course, Rong Guang also stepped down again. Rong Shengli felt that he was causing trouble everywhere, so he asked him to stay at home and deal with trivial matters."

"Since then, Rongguang has become a transparent member of the Rong family. As time goes by, everyone has forgotten his deeds and doesn't pay much attention to him."

"In the eyes of many people, Rong Guang is not as important as even Rong Yina..."

"The coasts and borders where Rongguang stayed were later replaced by Rongzong and Glory, and they became the princes with real power..."

She smiled lightly: "It can be said that the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade."

Ye Tianlong looked into the distance: "No wonder I rarely see the rest of the Rong family. It turns out they are all high-ranking officials in the border areas."

"However, no matter how deep-rooted the Rong family is, I will definitely give you this birthday gift."

Ye Tianlong looked determined.

At this moment, Miao Tiannu's cell phone rang. After answering it for a moment, he said to Ye Tianlong:

"The whereabouts of Murong Peng have been found..."

Ye Tianlong said faintly: "Where is it?"

"Black Triangle, Demon Slaughter Zone."
