my wife is a consul

Chapter 410 The end of the era

Kangyuan, the county town of Guinan, was originally Cheng Dasui's other garden in southern Guangxi, but was bought at a high price.

Lu Ming did not expect that the person who bought this house was Gao Baoshan behind the scenes, and he only found out after Gao Baoshan handed over the greeting card.

Gao Baoshan came to the Suppression General Headquarters and personally invited Lu Ming to the house as a guest.

Lu Ming vaguely guessed what happened in his heart, so he happily went to the appointment.

……

There are pavilions and small buildings, jagged rockeries, gurgling springs, and colorful flowers in the flower garden.

Gao Baoshan paced back and forth in the flower hall, rubbed his head, and laughed: "Unexpectedly, one day, this old Cheng's Bieyuan will become my own, good, good! He still hasn't fought me, haha, haha!"

Although he was laughing, Lu Ming could tell that he was actually depressed. This cold joke was just a joke.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Lu Ming, "Brother Zhang, I'm going to electrify and go to the field."

Lu Ming sighed, "Is there no room for redemption?" It's not very surprising, because according to the recent signs from the provincial capital, Gao Baoshan's political opponents in the provincial capital, after watching for more than a year, found that Gao Baoshan did return. Tian Huashu has lost power, and the liquidation of him has already begun.

Now the desks of key departments of the provincial government are probably full of complaints against Gao Baoshan.

Gao Baoshan smiled wryly: "To tell you the truth, my virtuous brother, I have a mortal enemy who is biting me now. If I don't know how to advance or retreat, I'm afraid I will lose my life." He glanced at Lu Ming, "I also hope that my virtuous brother will be able to give to brother Yu in the future." I ate a mouthful of An Le meal..."

Suddenly, he bowed deeply to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming coughed, and hurriedly stood up and took his arm, "Get up, brother Baoshan, what are you doing?"

In the past and present, these warlords seem to be like this, and it is common for them to go to the wild, and they usually seek shelter from their old friends.

Some of them were able to make a comeback, and some of them fell into a slump and were even assassinated.

As for this Gao Baoshan, it seemed that he was really an important member of the Black Mountain Clan to protect him.

Gao Baoshan took out another letter from the table, opened it with both hands, and said sincerely: "This is half of brother Yu's net worth, and now I give it to brother virtuous."

A key was affixed to the letter, and the content of the document was to prove that the bank had deposited [-] imperial standard gold bars. The depositor was anonymous, and his identity was identified by the key and the ID code.

The imperial standard stipulates that gold bars are three or two weights, worth about 1000 yuan in imperial coins, and three thousand bars are almost 300 million.

"The identity code is..." Gao Baoshan said a series of passwords.

"Brother, don't refuse, you have to take care of it from top to bottom, not to mention, in the future, Brother Yu's safety will be entrusted to you, and the brothers in the Secrecy Bureau will also have to work hard." Gao Baoshan was talking, looking at Lu Ming's expression.

If he wanted to live here safely, at least for a year or two, security personnel from the Bureau of Secrecy needed to set up guards nearby to protect him.

There is also the detection and prevention of plans to murder him, etc.

In the future, the secrecy bureaus in Nanping and Wanzhou may have special teams responsible for his safety.

It does require additional funding.

But 300 million is an astronomical figure.

Lu Ming also heyed in his heart, 300 million?It is indeed almost half of the private property that Gao Baoshan can control today.

After all, although Nanping finance was his personal pocket in the past, it is no longer possible.

What's more, Nanping Road is not comparable to Jiangnan, and it is not considered rich. He has been in office for more than ten years, and he has gone to fixed industries. You know, companies with a level of more than tens of millions are already large companies from the empire level, and Lingwei Automobile, which I first cooperated with, has a market value of only tens of millions, not to mention that he has tens of millions of cash.

It is true that no matter how big the enterprise is, its profits are not as good as the wealth created by the millions of people in one of the three cities and their related industries.

According to the letter, this batch of gold bars is stored in the Baoyin Bank in the concession of Xin'an City, Nanping Road.

Baoyin Bank has developed rapidly in the eastern part of the empire in recent years, and its reputation is also excellent.

Seeing that Gao Baoshan deposited the gold bars in Baoyin Bank, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction. This is the first branch of Baoyin Bank in the Northern Territory, and it seems to be doing well.

"Gao Yuhu, I will write a letter to him..." Gao Baoshan looked at Lu Ming's expression, "I know, Yuhu and my brother are very close, my letter will make him lose those worries."

Lu Ming understood what he meant by writing a letter, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

At this time, there were soft footsteps, and a slim figure came in from the outside. It was an extremely beautiful young woman with exquisite features, but the lines were relatively hard, giving people a feeling of aloofness, and her expression was also very cold. She was wearing a dark purple cheongsam, round and round. The neckline looks beautiful with a snow-white jade neck.

She held a tea tray in her slender hands, which contained various snacks.

When Gao Baoshan looked at her, his eyes were a little complicated, and then he looked at Lu Ming and smiled: "My dear brother, come and have a taste, this is a snack made by Sanjia's sister-in-law Wanjun, see if it suits your appetite."

Lu Ming grinned inwardly, it's too much to be called Wanjun.

I also know who it is. Gao Baoshan's third daughter-in-law, named Pei Wanjun, is rumored to be naturally beautiful, arrogant, and hot-tempered. She is very famous in Nanping.

The third son of the Pei family, with a famous tracheitis, was frightened like a lamb by the roar of the Hedong lion.

The Pei family is a rich man, and their business has reached the provincial capital, but now, it is difficult to think about it.

Over there, Gao Baoshan gritted his teeth, and finally said: "If my brother thinks that the snacks made by Jun Wan are quite delicious, but in this barren land in southern Guangxi, it is very difficult for my brother to come to board and lodging, so I will let Jun Wan go to your lord's house. , during the time your lord is in south of Guangxi, how about helping your lord to be a cook?"

Lu Ming had just picked up a small snack that looked like a snow-white glutinous rice ball, and was thinking that there seemed to be no rare gift hidden in it. Suddenly, hearing Gao Baoshan's words, the glutinous rice ball in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Looking at Gao Baoshan in astonishment, Lu Ming was speechless for a moment. This is the wife your third son, Ming Mei, is marrying. She is not the concubine of your family. Come with me to be my cook?What do you think?

Moreover, the cook is like this, but is she really a cook?

Turning to look at Pei Wanjun, she saw her expression was indifferent, no matter whether she was willing or not, she had obviously accepted the fate she had to face.

Just as he was about to refuse, an idea suddenly popped up and he said with a smile, "Okay! Then come with me now."

With deep sadness in Gao Baoshan's eyes, he nodded: "Okay, brother is busy with work, Mr. Wan, you can go with Uncle Zhang now."

Pei Wanjun was silent, but when she saw Lu Ming get up and walk out, she followed, and even took the bank letter from Lu Ming.

Out of the corner of Lu Ming's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the flower hall, as if the hunchbacked figure had aged a lot in an instant.

The end of an era.

The two heroes who used to be powerful in the eastern part of Longbei Province, followed Gao Baoshan's resignation, Cheng Dasui fled to Haixi, and their era ended.

Gao Baoshan even wanted to give his daughter-in-law as a gift for safety and some unknown intentions.

Can't help but make people sigh.

……

Filled with emotion, Lu Ming left Kangyuan, outside was a small convoy of black cars and green jeeps.

In fact, Gao Baoshan committed a heinous crime, and he was not wronged to be executed, but from the perspective of the United Front, it is also right to protect him.

After all, Gao Baoshan and the Black Mountain faction have always been allies, and they have never broken their faces. Now that they are in trouble, if they change hands and take his life again, there will be no warlords of all sizes in the Northern Territory who will trust the Black Mountain faction again.

Therefore, from the perspective of the overall situation and from the perspective of integrating into the political environment of the Northern Territory, protecting Gao Baoshan is the best choice.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with General Lu.

Only Commissioner Zhang himself can protect him, and all controversial matters will be handed over to Commissioner Zhang.

If this period of history is recorded in later generations, it is natural that Commissioner Zhang was greedy for money and lustful, and this saved the life of the vicious warlord leader Gao Baoshan.

As Commissioner Zhang, I am afraid that the future will not be better.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming suddenly felt a little depressed. Although this was just a dark side role played by himself, from the perspective of Commissioner Zhang himself, he also had a clear conscience. Unfortunately, it may not have a good ending in the end.

Sighing, Lu Ming came to the front of his car, but saw a delicate and beautiful woman standing tremblingly beside the car, and smiled bitterly in his heart. It is indeed an extravagant wish for him to want a good end.

This is Chen Rongfu's concubine, Zou Xiying, who was selected from the portfolio that day.

She is Chen Rongfu's favorite and youngest and most beautiful concubine, much prettier than Cheng Wanjun.

But she was the one among Chen Rongfu's concubines who suffered the worst after she gave her a way out.

Because she really doesn't have any skills, probably the biggest skill is being a concubine, who can seduce men's souls.

Indeed, looking at her wearing a pair of quilted jacket with rose-red plum blossom buttons, a soft yellow skirt, and little red embroidered shoes looming, her figure is very delicate and graceful, the kind of softness and docility of a traditional concubine. In the era of my previous life, men could only dream imagine.

Of course her appearance is not as good as those of her concubines, even Yuluan, but that timid concubine smell makes it easier to imagine.

She was arranged to work as a female worker in a factory, but she got into trouble every day, and even felt too tired to sit on the ground and cry.

In fact, all the tasks assigned to her were the lightest tasks, such as sorting out documents and so on.

If it wasn't for her special background at No. 7 Hongta Road, she would have been expelled long ago.

I was always in need of a "concubine" character who would follow the wife's route, so I chose her, who had just been sent here.

"Get in the car!" Lu Ming didn't bother to talk to her, and turned his head to look at Pei Wanjun, "You get in the car too."

Mrs. Zou hastily climbed in, sitting in the car with soft seats, looking like she wanted to cry.

In the factory, she was wearing common clothes and trousers, and she didn't even have time to tidy herself up. She got up early every day and went to work unkempt. That life, for her, was no different from hell.

Before getting into the car, Lu Ming shook his head and sighed, as if he was becoming more and more comfortable playing the role of spy chief.
