Entering Kung Fu into a Sauce

Chapter 157
"A few days ago, a friend in Shanghai wrote a letter asking for help. He said in the letter that someone over there had a very strange disease, and he wanted me to go over there to help!" Zhang Pengxiang said, "Because of my fourth child, I I have no skills at all, so I have delayed until now. I want you to go with me!"

Jiang Bao was a little embarrassed: "You let me solve a case, but I'm not good at treating diseases!"

Zhang Pengxiang looked solemn: "In my opinion, this strange disease is most likely man-made!"

"Man-made? You mean, someone poisoned it?"

"Based on my experience, this kind of disease has never been seen before, but this time it is a large one, so the possibility of poisoning is the greatest!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Jiang Bao laughed at himself, "I'm such a lenient detective! Detective Xiangjiang, go to Shanghai to handle the case!"

Within three days, Zhang Pengxiang made arrangements for his family.

It stands to reason that if the concubine died, there should be a funeral and a funeral.Coupled with relatives and friends coming to express their condolences, if it takes ten and a half months, it will damage the face of Tianshi Mansion.

However, this little concubine is from Dongpu and belongs to the low class.Zhang Pengxiang asked people to keep quiet, and only buried the fourth wife and the mute hastily.

And his eldest son can get out of bed and walk after taking the antidote for Qian Ri Zong.

This morning, under the watchful eye of his family, Zhang Pengxiang took Jiang Bao and a few close family members down the mountain together on a slider.

Although Fang Qixian was a little bit reluctant, Xiaoya's handkerchief was wet with tears.

"Brother Jiang, come and see me when you have time!" Xiaoya waved her arms.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely come!" Jiang Bao promised indiscriminately.

Zhang Pengxiang sneered, "You probably won't come to my place again, kid!"

But Jiang Bao said: "It's not certain! When Xiaoya gets married, I might come to have a wedding wine!"

Zhang Pengxiang said: "Think it over! If you come on the day Xiaoya gets married, Xiaoya might run away from the marriage and go with you!"

Jiang Bao shook his head again and again: "Forget it, I'd better not come!"

"Hahahaha!" Even the servants couldn't help laughing.

The Zhang family has a manor at the foot of Longhu Mountain.They prepared for one night in the manor, and the next day, they did not go out on foot, but brought two cars.

Zhang Pengxiang and Jiang Bao sat in the back row of a Buick sedan, and the driver was the Zhang family's special driver, Lao Huang.

In the canvas truck at the back sat the servant that Zhang Pengxiang brought down from the mountain.They not only serve the daily life of the celestial master, but are also responsible for safety and security. When they need to perform rituals, they can wear Taoist robes.

Two vehicles were driving on the official road from Gan Province to Zhejiang Province.

It is said to be an official road, but in fact it is just paved with gravel, which is not so muddy in this spring rainy season.

In Jiangxi Province, the cars of Tianshi Mansion are unimpeded. Even if they enter the territory of Zhejiang Province, there are still many people who want to sell Zhang Tianshi's face.

However, the roads in this era are really not good, and you have to make a detour when you encounter mountainous areas.It was already a week after they arrived in the urban area of ​​Shanghai.

Jiang Bao finally saw the legendary Shili Yangchang.

In fact, the streets are full of cars, trams, bicycles, as well as greasy-faced men and graceful women, which are no different from Xiangjiang where Jiang Bao is located.

The two cars were parked in a compound in the French Concession, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes lined up with more than a dozen "white coats" to welcome them.

Seeing Zhang Pengxiang's car stop, the man in the suit immediately ran over, opened the door for Zhang Pengxiang himself, and at the same time called out affectionately: "Brother Zhang, you've come, little brother, I'm eager to see it!"

Zhang Pengxiang got out of the car and exaggeratedly said: "I also want to come here sooner, but I have something to do at home, so I don't have the time to spare!"

Seeing Jiang Bao coming down from the other side of the car, the man in the suit asked, "Brother Zhang, who is this young master, let me introduce you quickly!"

Zhang Pengxiang did not introduce Jiang Bao first, but introduced the man in a suit to Jiang Bao: "This is Nie Chengzhang, brother Nie, who is currently the director of the French Concession Ministry of Industry Bureau, and is also the director of the French Concession Public Health Department!"

Jiang Bao immediately cupped his fists and said, "Minister Nie, I have heard about your name from the Celestial Master a long time ago, and I admire you very much!"

Since Jiang Bao came here with Zhang Pengxiang, and he was neither humble nor overbearing, Nie Chengzhang didn't dare to push him, and cupped his hands together: "Nice meeting, good meeting!"

Only then did Zhang Pengxiang introduce Jiang Bao: "This is Inspector Jiang Baojiang from the Xiangjiang Police Department, known as the 'Xiangjiang Super Detective'. Inspector Jiang's martial arts are world-class, and his eyes are as bright as a torch. He is still in Shanghai this time. I invited you here thanks to a great favor. I dare say that to find the root of the strange disease, Inspector Jiang is the only one! Brother Nie, you should communicate more when you have time!"

For Nie Chengzhang, Zhang Pengxiang only introduced his position.When it was Jiang Bao's turn, Zhang Pengxiang introduced all his abilities.

This is also the reason why Zhang Pengxiang introduced Jiang Bao later, and the key characters will appear in the finale!

Seeing that Zhang Pengxiang admired Jiang Bao so much, Nie Chengzhang did not dare to be negligent, and praised him repeatedly: "Brother Jiang is young and promising, a young hero! The search for the source of the disease this time depends entirely on Brother Zhang and Brother Jiang!"

"Minister Nie is being polite, just call me Leopard!!" Zhang Pengxiang had already called him that on the way to Shanghai.

When distinguished guests come to the door, of course they must be warmly entertained.That night, Nie Chengzhang entertained Zhang Pengxiang and Jiang Bao at the Royce Restaurant in the French Concession.

At this dinner, the French Concession Consul Steve, the Chinese Director Ma You, the Chinese Inspector Wang Yongsheng and other important officials all came, which shows that the French Concession attaches great importance to this strange disease pandemic.

Actually, on the way to Shanghai, Jiang Bao got some information about Shanghai from Zhang Pengxiang.

For example, there is no Huang, Du, and Zhang Sanheng in this world, and there is no Wang Yaqiao. Chinese tycoons like Ma You and Wang Yongsheng are the real rulers of Shanghai.

Jiang Bao also carefully observed Ma You and Wang Yongsheng. Ma You was restrained, while Wang Yongsheng was arrogant. Of course, these were just appearances. These two were extremely shrewd and ruthless people.

Everyone was also watching Jiang Bao.Although they ignored Jiang Bao because he was too young, they also knew that those who could be so respected by Zhang Tianshi must not be ordinary people.

The banquet that night ended happily.

Nie Chengzhang arranged Zhang Pengxiang and Jiang Bao to live in the most luxurious Sassoon Mansion near the Ministry of Industry Bureau. As for the servants who followed Zhang Pengxiang, he also arranged for board and lodging.

Before going to bed, Jiang Bao stood by the window and looked out, at the lights of thousands of houses around him, and at the sparse boats on the Huangpu River.

He had been to Shanghai twice in his previous life, both around 2020. At that time, Shanghai was the brightest place in Asia at night.

However, he was still Diaosi at that time, and he is not the same as he is now.

Having been a human being for two lifetimes, and revisiting his old place, his emotion is quite deep.

"After finishing the work this time, I might as well go back to my hometown to have a look, that is the real revisit!"

He vaguely felt that the term "revisiting the old place" was used wrongly.
