Chapter 146 Assassination
"What does Second Master Li look like?"

"No one has seen it. I heard that Marshal Li sent him abroad as soon as he made a fortune. Now that he has grown up, his family is urging him to get married. He just came back not long ago."

"I don't know how to live a chic life abroad."

"I heard—don't tell me—you came back to fight for power. Marshal Li is thinking about his successor."

"With First Young Master Li here, is there a chance for this second master?"

"I have to see if it's right? What if it's even better?"

The dance has already started, but the atmosphere doesn't seem to have started yet. Even the song on the record player is playing the prelude all the time. Only when the second young master of Commander Li's family arrives, will the people on the record speak.

Lin Ziwen, the owner of the Lin Mansion, wears a black long gown and round-frame Western glasses. Even though he was a former Jinshi, a scholarly family, he is also an entrepreneur who opened private banks and factories.

But compared with the Li clan who dominated Songcheng, Mingcheng, and Yongcheng, it was far from enough. A scholarly family and entrepreneurs of this scale had been "confiscated".

The original marriage contract was made by Commander Li casually when he was not making a fortune. Neither Commander Li himself nor Lin Ziwen expected Commander Li to rise so quickly.

This marriage has come to the present, and Commander Li's attitude is that nothing is necessary, it all depends on his son's liking, but Lin Ziwen has to hold on tightly, especially now, it is like the only life-saving rope in a deep well.

Behind him are Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, Lin Yin.

"Ayin," Mrs. Lin explained to her daughter in a low voice, "I have already told you about the situation at home. Now if you want to cross this river, you can only rely on this second master."

Lin Yin nodded slightly, her face pale.

Mrs. Lin glanced at her daughter, unable to bear it in her heart, and comforted her: "This Second Master Li has educated, so he won't be like his elder brother."

Li Bichang and Li Dashao shot and killed each other when they disagreed.

The most famous thing is that on the day of concubinage, let the bride put an apple on her head and shoot it with a gun, saying that she wants to let the woman see another way of shooting herself first.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the apple shattered, and the bride fainted from fright. Young Master Li laughed, threw the gun to his subordinates, and carried his concubine to the bridal chamber.

Dashuai Li didn’t shoot at his own women, he used house rules—every woman who enters the door should be tied to a chair and whipped to let women know the rules—there was a problem with the foot of an aunt who was pulled out.

In 1928, women could read books, go to dance halls, had lower requirements for the three obediences and four virtues, and could not read "The Book of Daughters", but they still couldn't get rid of the situation of "relying on the father in the husband's house, and relying on the husband's house in the mother's house".

As Marshal Li's son and Young Master Li's younger brother, Li Changzhou is really worrying. If he likes to let women see his marksmanship and set up rules, it will be a hellish life.

But for the family.
Lin Yin was pursing her lips tightly when the servant outside the door suddenly shouted: "Second Master Li is here—"

In the living room, it seemed that the record player stopped for a moment, and everyone looked at the door in unison.

Lin Yin saw his father straightening the collar of his gown, and the ladies and wives were also straightening their hair that had just been permed in the barber shop. His mother turned around and straightened her sleeves.

"Relax, don't be nervous." Mrs. Lin instructed softly.

Lin Yin took a deep breath and smiled slightly.

When Mrs. Lin stood up again, a person walked in from the door.

Suit, civilized staff, tall and straight, taller than ordinary men, handsome face, elegant and calm demeanor, just like a nobleman.

The main character finally appeared.

Mrs. Lin pushed Lin Yin lightly, and gave her a look, which meant a good look, and she would be more enthusiastic and active later.

Lin Yin also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Although a person is not good for his appearance, it is naturally better for her future husband to be more handsome and gentle.

The ladies around were also talking in low voices, their eyes sparkling, like a pack of wolves seeing a sheep.

"Long day!" Lin Ziwen laughed and stepped forward.

Li Changzhou withdrew his gaze from looking around, and stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle, Changzhou is late!"

The two put their hands together, unknowingly thinking it was a reunion of father and son.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ziwen stepped aside and introduced, "This is Ayin, Ayin, this is Marshal Li's second son, and also your fiancé, Chang Zhou."

Lin Yin shortened his body and bowed: "Lin Yin has seen the second brother."

"Sister Lin, you're welcome." Li Changzhou smiled heartily.

He looked at Lin Yin. She was petite, white and smooth, wearing a dress made of exquisite soft satin fabric, bright eyes and white teeth, with an innate bookish look, like a demure water lily.

Looking at her was not because he cared, but because he was interested in the "ancient people". Lin Ziwen was also looked at by him in this way.

After the two greeted each other, Lin Ziwen introduced other people to him, including Lin Yin's married eldest sister and second sister.

Some women who like foreign movies, or simply went abroad to study, spoke a few words of English with him heartily and intimately, and discussed life abroad.

Li Changzhou talked about Colombia, where the sky is like a robin's egg, the experience of milking cows, how much gold was used in Italian churches, the volcanoes and sailing ships in Sicily.

After the chitchat, the prom is naturally about dancing.

This is a dance prepared for Li Changzhou and Lin Yin, and they will definitely dance together.

"Chang Zhou, you must often go to dances abroad. You can teach our family's Yin. This child knows how to read and draw all day long. If you don't call her, she can play the piano all afternoon!" Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

"Mother~" Lin Yin was a little embarrassed.

This is not asking others to teach dancing, it is showing off and promoting.

"Just dance." Li Changzhou smiled.

The surrounding area immediately became half quiet, and Lin Ziwen's heart skipped a beat.

"I injured my foot a few days ago, and it's inconvenient to move around. If sister Lin doesn't introduce me, we can go to the side to chat. I don't know much about the current domestic situation. Sister Lin can be a temporary teacher for me."

"Okay! Okay!" Lin Ziwen laughed again, "Ayin, you can take Changzhou there, by the way, don't go to school these few days, take Changzhou to familiarize yourself with the country, go to see movies, listen to operas !"

Li Changzhou and Lin Yin greeted the surroundings and came to the corner.

They each took a glass of mint julep on the rocks.

"Is Second Brother's foot okay?" Lin Yin asked.

"It doesn't affect walking, but I can't dance." Li Changzhou took a sip of the mint wine.

Because I haven't drunk it before, I don't know the difference between the wine 100 years ago and 100 years later.

"Then rest, and you can't just ignore it just because there's not much going on."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yin suddenly asked: "Second brother, has the commander arranged tasks for you when you come back this time?"

Li Changzhou nodded, but did not elaborate.

Li Bichang joined the army with Marshal Li and mixed in the army. When Li Changzhou came back this time, he was arranged to rectify Songcheng and make it the base of the Li family.

Not long after Songcheng was taken down, the forces in the city were chaotic, the concessions were invincible, the martial arts hall was divided into one side, and the financial world relied on things other than the financial world.

Although the Li family is a strong dragon crossing the river, it is really hard to say whether they can deal with these local snakes. This is also Marshal Li's test of Li Changzhou's ability.

"What does Second Brother think of the current women's movement?" Lin Yin stared into Li Changzhou's eyes.

"Women's movement?"

"Women's liberation, equal rights for men and women, have you heard of it?"

"I heard."

"What do you think, brother?"

"Very good." Li Changzhou nodded.

Lin Yin could see indifference and indifference from his face.

Of course Li Changzhou doesn't care, this is not the real past, what's the use of caring, not to mention, he has something a thousand times more important than this - to find his sister and Yang Qinglan.

A ball without dancing is very boring. Although there is a bookish, petite beauty sitting next to him, it is a pity that Li Changzhou is not interested. If he didn't want to integrate into the times as soon as possible, he would find an excuse to leave halfway.

After finally getting through to the end of the dance, he immediately bid farewell and left.

He had already figured out how to find Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia.

The newspaper industry in this era is already very developed. As long as you find a large-scale newspaper that publishes the news of Li Changzhou’s return to China, the two will naturally come to your door—as the best way to understand this era, they will definitely pay attention to the newspaper ( At least Yang Qinglan will not).

This method can only be used now, and a better contact method must be found to prevent the era of backward communication.

Also, be careful of those black and white cards, who can also notice him through the newspapers.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the car whose doors had already been opened.

"boom!"

There was a flash of fire in the darkness, followed by a gunshot.

The guests were stunned for a moment, then screamed in panic, and ran towards the house one after another.

Lin Ziwen and Lin Yin escaped under the cover of their bodyguards.

While running, Lin Ziwen shouted, "Nephew Changri!"

"Second Master!" Liu De swarmed to Li Changzhou with six guards armed with guns.

"I'm fine." Li Changzhou didn't get into the car, and looked in the direction of the gunshots. A figure was getting into the car and was about to escape.

"Arrest him!" Liu De ordered, and six guards rushed out in an instant, drew their guns and shot at the assassin's car.

The sound of gunfire turned over and over in the night, stirring everything up.

Li Changzhou suddenly tilted his head.

"Second Master, be careful!" Liu De rushed forward, and Li Changzhou let him pull him away.

"boom!"

There was another gunshot, and it was a boy in charge of parking. Even if the assassination failed at this moment, his eyes were still cold.

They kept shooting, forcing Li Changzhou and Liu De behind the car.

Li Changzhou was a little surprised by Liu De's skill. It seems that there are masters in this era.

This is a good opportunity to test the world's force.

"Liu De, are you sure you can kill him?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Yes, but Second Master, you—"

"I'm fine, go!"

Liu De licked his dry lips and insisted: "Second Lord, you hide in the car, I'll kill that assassin!"

"Okay!" Li Changzhou didn't want to distract Liu De, he wanted to see his full strength.

Liu De escorted Li Changzhou into the car, locked the door again, looked around, waited for two years, and suddenly rolled over and sprinted out like a snake.

boom! boom! boom!
The gunshot stepped on it step by step, but it was still one step behind Liu De.

Seeing that Liu De was getting closer, the assassin fired a few shots indiscriminately, then drew out his dagger, and rushed towards Liu De like a tiger with its claws open.

Liu De also took out a dagger from nowhere.

When the daggers collided, sparks flew everywhere, and the light of the sword shone unbelievably fast in the night. In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought for ten rounds.

Li Changzhou was watching intently, when the night around him suddenly dropped a layer of veil, and a figure appeared beside him.

The cold touch of the dagger came from his neck.

"Wait!" Li Changzhou raised his hand, terrified, "Take me to see your boss, everything can be discussed."
