Lu Zhichao shook his head: "That year, I had just been transferred from the ticket gate to the passenger terminal and worked as a secretary in the office. I felt that I had a bright future.
Suddenly one night, your master suddenly ran to my house, looking quite panicked, saying that he was staying at my house for one night.
In fact, we are all smart people. I knew at a glance that he had committed a crime, but I didn't ask him.
Because when we were soldiers, we were all educated on the law. If I knew that he had committed a crime and still took him in, that would be harboring the criminal.
If I don't know anything, even if he commits a huge crime, it has nothing to do with me.
I agreed to him then.
Although I had a family, my work unit assigned me a single dormitory. I was living there alone at the time. He knew this situation, so he thought of hiding in my place.
I didn't say anything, because he was about the same size as me. I didn't even get a change of clothes, so I was going back to my parents' house.
At that time, he was a little confused. He had originally planned not to tell me, but he was worried that I would not know the specific situation and accidentally expose his whereabouts outside.
So he told me he killed someone.
I was stunned at that time and asked him if he had killed the other party?
He said he didn't know, but he killed 4 people in total.
After hearing this, all the hairs on my body stood up.
He then asked me to go out and inquire to see if the other party was dead.
I became sullen on the spot and asked him to surrender immediately.
He didn't understand very much and asked me what I meant. So what if I went to find out if the other party was dead?
I explained to him that it would be fine if the other party was not dead, but if he was, wouldn't I become your accomplice if I went out to inquire about it? That is a more serious crime than harboring a crime.
Besides, he didn't say anything, so I pretended that nothing happened. He did, and I could only tell him that there were only two possibilities: either he surrendered, or I reported it.
Because I knew he had killed someone, and if he didn’t report it, he would be harboring the crime. "
Jia Erhu stared at him blankly for a while, then came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Master, you are so extraordinary. You were so young at that time, and you were facing your own senior brother, and you could actually say Say something like that.
Not to mention that era, even now, people's legal awareness has increased, but it still takes a lot of courage to say these words to one's own brother.
To be honest, I do admire you.
If it were me, I couldn't do it.
Uncle Master, I don't mean to be sarcastic at all, I really admire you.
Although the master is your senior brother, you still have your own parents, and you are responsible for your parents. "
Lu Zhichao nodded: "Er Hu, what you said is only half right. We are all men, and I was young. Looking back on my life, I have indeed beaten many people, but I have never been in a group fight. , because I never associate with gangsters in society.
During the crackdown, some of my classmates and neighbors were sentenced to death. At that time, I happened to be serving as a soldier.
Later I understood why your ancestor asked me to leave Haicheng, because he calculated that I would be in trouble during that time.
If I had been in Haicheng before the crackdown, I would have inevitably caused trouble outside with my former classmates and friends. Maybe it was a trivial matter that could lead to a group fight, and maybe I would also be the target of a severe crackdown.
Now that I think about it, it was your ancestor who saved me.
Ordinarily, I will save your master no matter what, but have you ever thought about it? I regard your master as a brother, does your master regard me as a brother?
If he treats me as a brother, he shouldn't harm me.
As long as he doesn't tell the truth, no matter how long he lives in my house, I will just pretend that I don't know.
Not only did he tell me the truth, but he also asked me to inquire about the other party's situation. Didn't he dig a hole for me and ask me to jump into it myself and bury myself again?
Be it brothers or friends, they should not be mutual.
Let’s just talk about our relationship. I am your uncle and you are my grandnephew. It is normal for me to ask you to help. But I made a mistake myself and let you participate in it. You said I was begging you. Help, or am I trying to frame you? "
Jia Erhu looked at Lu Zhichao and was speechless.
Lu Zhichao added: "For example, if I have an enemy now, I really regard you as my great-nephew. Even if I am about to chop off his head with a knife, I will not say a word to you.
If I tell you that I'm going to kill someone, even if I don't let you help me do it, even if I just ask you to help me see where he is now.
If you go, tell me, are you an accomplice, or at least a harborer, right?
If I really do this, can you still treat me as your uncle? I'm just an old bastard!
Maybe I have a grudge against your mother or your father, so I deliberately set this up for you so that I could have someone to support me until I die. "
Jia Erhu finally understood what Lu Zhichao meant, and at the same time he was reminded that no matter how good a friend or brother he is, once a crime is involved, he must not get himself involved.
Because that's not called loyalty, that's called stupidity.
If people treat you as a friend and brother, they will not harm you.
Since I have harmed you, can I still be called my friend and brother?
Do you still need to be loyal to such a person?
"Thank you!" Jia Erhu said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance. I will always remember this."
Lu Zhichao shook his head and reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette. Jia Erhu immediately stood up, picked up his lighter and lit it for him.
Lu Zhichao asked: "Do you smoke?"
Jia Erhu shook his head and said, "It's not too bad."
Lu Zhichao said: "It's still smoking, but you don't have the urge to smoke. But it's best not to smoke, because it will be harmful to your inner alchemy."
Jia Erhu replied respectfully: "I understand."
Lu Zhichao asked him to sit down and then said: "At that time, your master looked at me and turned around to leave full of despair.
I knew he left in a hurry, and he definitely didn't have any money with him. He deliberately took out more than 100 yuan from his pocket, which was all the money I had, and threw it on the table.
Mine is also very simple. I didn’t give him the money. If he wants to take it, it’s his own money.
And I also said that I hope he will surrender after he goes out. Anyway, I will report the crime, even if I don't go to the police station, I will go to our security department.
This sentence completely angered him. He felt that I had no affection at all and left without taking any money. "
Jia Erhu smiled bitterly and said: "If it were me, I couldn't understand your approach at the time. But now I know very well that everything you did at that time was right, even the only choice.
First of all, you know that he is short of money, so you deliberately throw the money on the table.
Secondly, he killed someone. Even if he doesn't surrender, if you don't report the crime, the other party will.
Besides, you told him that you would only go to the Security Department to report the crime.
To put it bluntly, all you have to do is tell him clearly that if he doesn't turn himself in, then run away quickly and you will give him enough time. "
Lu Zhichao nodded: "Yes, it seems that you are different from what I imagined. You are a person who fights and kills. I thought you were impulsive in addition to being impulsive.
Being able to say these words is enough to prove that you are relatively calm when encountering trouble.
Then I will test you again, what do you think I should do next? "
Jia Erhu blinked his eyes, tried hard to put himself into the situation at that time, and said: "I think you should follow the uncle out to see if he will surrender.
If not, you would have waited until he had at least left the city before going to the Security Department to report the crime.
And after you report the case, you will definitely ask if the other party is dead. "
Lu Zhichao smiled: "It seems that you still don't understand me, or the time we have been in contact is too short. I told so many stories at once, and your brain can't fit them in.
Because I knew very well at the time that the reason why he came to me in the first place was because no one knew that he and I were brothers.
After leaving my place, it is impossible for him to find other apprentices. The only one he is looking for is your father.
Because your father learned from him secretly, I am the only one who knows that your father is his apprentice, and none of them, including Ding Xiaotian, know. "
Jia Erhu suddenly realized: "I understand, you called my father immediately!"
