Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 712 The Rise of the Hero

A hard-hearted person like Chu Xiangqian cried when Gong Er was buried.

The Hong Kong student in his arms was crying so hard that his voice became mute.

Fortunately, there is always a limit to sadness. For a selfish, self-interested and calm person like Chu Xiangqian, even if he is sad for a while, it won't last long.

After hugging Hong Kong Sheng for some comfort, Xiao Nizi's mood stabilized.

It was just that Chu Xiangqian, who was hosting and participating in a white event for the first time, felt tired, and the others felt even more uncomfortable.

In the past few days, seeing that Master Shi Niang, Yixian Tian, ​​Lao Jiang and Mr. Zeng all had tired faces, Chu Xiangqian could only take over most of the things.

They also took over all the things that Hong Kong students needed to do, so in the past few days, although Hong Kong students, masters and ladies were also tired, they were still guaranteed rest.

If you sleep enough and eat well, being a little tired won't hurt your body.

And Chu Xiangqian will not do everything personally, not only does he have many people at his disposal.

In the first seven days, Chu Xiangqian even directly paid money to invite someone from the side room of the Gong family, who was her cousin, cousin, or nephew, to keep vigil for Gong Er on behalf of the master and the others. .

But Chu Xiangqian didn't want people to gossip behind his back just because of this little money and rice.

As for Hong Kong students, in the old days, they had to observe filial piety for three years.

Chu Xiangqian asked Gong Changqing and found out that many of these people came from all over the three northern provinces.

If he wanted to stay by Gong Er's grave, Chu Xiangqian would not object.

But he decided not to play poker until the mourning period was over.

When he returns to the capital, he will also ask the three sisters Zhaodi to come and accompany Hong Kong students.

Otherwise, Yixiantian and Laojiang might actually live together and stay by Gong Er's grave.

Fortunately, even if the master and mistress don't want to stay, with them here, Hong Kong students will not be afraid of being bullied.

The four women also knew that Chu Xiangqian had lost a relative. Although they wanted to play poker with him, they also knew that there was only more than a month of mourning left.

So many people can take good care of Xue Jinglan and the baby in her belly.

But after the Republic of China, in many places, even sons were only required to observe filial piety for one hundred days.

Or go to the small courtyard on Beach Street to see Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

If you want to go to work, that's no problem.

One yuan per person per night is definitely a high income for rural people.

Chu Xiangqian actually also inquired about some local market conditions. Even if he paid thirty to fifty cents and provided meals, there would be specialized people to do this kind of thing.

Back in the courtyard, everything was quiet.

Before Chu Xiangqian left, he still left Zhang Tianzhi and Zhou Billy behind to protect Hong Kong students.

Needless to say, Yixiantian and Laojiang would not leave even if they were asked to leave.

Before February 7th, Chu Qianqian still flew to Fengtian by plane.

It would be no problem to continue living in the Qianmen courtyard with the master, mistress, and Lao Jiang.

This time, more people came to worship in front of the mourning hall than in the first seven days.

Sister Tao takes care of Xue Jinglan, no problem at all.

Anyway, there are many rooms, enough to live in.

After the first seven days, Chu Xiangqian and Hong Kong Sheng can actually return to the capital.

As for Xue Jinglan, after all, cooking is about stupidity, patriotism, and love for the people.

Since I am getting older, I might as well continue to live in the Qianmen Courtyard and go fishing whenever I want.

Chu Xiangqian will definitely not stay here for 49 days.

I accompany Xue Jinglan on weekdays, and occasionally go to see Jinxiu and Jinzhi during the day.

These people are from the Gong family, so there is no problem keeping watch over Gong Er. After all, Gong Er has no son, so the daughter he recognizes is still his goddaughter.

Add another 1 kilogram of rice, and there are quite a few people signing up.

It’s hard to say about a line of sky.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian had a private plane, and the guests from Hong Kong followed him on the plane.

But the little girl felt that if she accepted Gong Er as her godmother, it would be better to keep her vigil until six or seven years later.

Speaking of which, we have to say that Gong Er's move to accept a Hong Kong student as his goddaughter before his death was indeed deliberate.

Moreover, Hong Kong Sheng was only the goddaughter and Chu Xiangqian's concubine, which meant she was a married daughter. One hundred days of filial piety was enough.

In addition, the master and the others are not here, so after get off work on weekdays, the second aunt, Aiyuan, Yuyu and others can also take Ai Lin and Ai Qiu to live in the Qianmen courtyard.

Flying to the capital first, Chu Xiangqian, Zhang Haiyang, Xue Jianguo and others got off the plane, and the others would continue flying back to Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, the people of the Gong family are very active in this job. If they are not allowed to keep vigil at night, they will feel resentful.

Since Chu Xiangqian did not become a disciple of Gong Er, he naturally did not need to observe filial piety.

Now, Lao Jiang will definitely follow Chu Xiangqian, but Chu Xiangqian actually doesn’t need him.

For transportation these days, although there are trains and long-distance buses, most of them only go to provinces and cities.

Moreover, news spreads even more slowly, so being able to arrive on the 27th day is still relatively close.

But in the afternoon, when a few middle-aged people entered the mourning hall, Gong Changqing and many of the Gong family members suddenly stood up.

One of the old men from the Gong family suppressed his anger and shouted to several people, "You guys named Ma, you are not welcome here."

Chu Xiangqian instantly understood that these were probably Ma San's apprentices.

Nodding to Zhang Tianzhi, Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Bili, Tony Jia and Yuan Hua soon stood silently at the four corners, vaguely surrounding these people.

Back then, Ma San couldn't even defeat Gong Er, so Chu Xiangqian had even less regard for Ma San's land.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian was convinced that Zhang Tianzhi’s kung fu would never be worse than Ma San’s. Zhang Tianzhi should be able to defeat these people by himself.

The people who came here didn’t really want to cause trouble.

Besides, even if there is trouble, it won't be today. Otherwise, he deserves to be beaten to death.

The middle-aged man who took the lead hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, we are just here to offer a stick of incense to our uncle today, bow a few times and leave."

The people of the Gong family were stunned, but after everyone said so, and they stopped others from offering incense, it was their own fault.

Chu Xiangqian was also confused, but he waved his hand to Zhang Tianzhi.

However, Chu Xiangqian remembered that at the end of 59, he had killed several enemy agents named Ma in the capital, so he naturally would not let down his guard.

As soon as those people left, Chickadee and Single followed them.

One serves as an air monitor and the other serves as a listener.

Soon I heard a lot of useful things from the people who went out.

After hearing this, Ke Chuqiang shook his head in a funny way.

It turns out that these guys had just deliberately called Gong Er uncle, just to tell the outside world that their branch had not been expelled from the school.

From now on, a few of them will open martial arts schools in various places in Southeast Asia. Just by saying that their kung fu comes from Gong Baosen of the Celestial Dynasty, they can intimidate the local martial arts masters.

Back then, the news about Gong Baosen going south was widely spread.

And Gong Baosen was recognized as the number one in the north. With this reputation, it would be easier for the martial arts school to recruit disciples.

It's just that Chu Xiangqian was suspected of being seriously ill, and he was worried that these people deliberately said this at the door of the Gong family's old house. So Ti Que and Huang Mao'er kept staring at these people, but the result was that these people returned to Fengtian after leaving.

Then the next day I got on the train to Jinmen, got on the ship and left directly.

Chu Xiangqian felt that he was being too suspicious.

Chu Xiangqian stayed with Hong Kong students at the Gong family's old residence for two days and then returned to the capital.

These people were quickly forgotten.

After that, Chu went back and forth to the capital and Fengtian for more than a month, and finally defended the city for 49 days.

As expected, Yixiantian was unwilling to return to the capital so soon, and what surprised Chu Xiangqian was that Mr. Zeng actually wanted to stay.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the photo on Gong Er's tombstone and couldn't help but smile.

Life was difficult during her lifetime, but she didn't expect that after her death, there would be two men who couldn't let go of her.

If there really is a spirit in heaven, I would be very happy!

In the end, Chu Xiangqian could only take Hong Kong students, Master Shi Niang, Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Bili, Tony Jia, Yuan Hua, Zhao Di and Lao Jiang back to the capital.

After returning to Beijing, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to let Zhang Tianzhi and the others return to Hong Kong Island.

Instead, he took advantage of everything going on recently and gave the four of them a holiday, allowing them to travel in and around the capital.

Chu Xiangqian was guarding Xue Jinglan every day. This girl was already 6 months pregnant and her belly was obviously bigger.

It was difficult to move, her feet were still a little swollen, and Chu Xiangqian was no longer by her side, so she often couldn't sleep at night.

But once she was next to Chu Qianqian, Xue Jinglan could fall asleep even while sitting.

Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to stay in the capital to accompany his wife.

Fortunately, the funeral is over. If I occasionally go out during the day, I can still play cards with Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e and the Jin sisters.

In September, Feifei, who had been staying at the ranch for three months, saw that Chu Xiangqian had been staying in the capital, and immediately made a fuss to come over.

Chu Xiangqian thought, since Hong Kong students are also in the capital, if Feifei is not allowed to come over, they will definitely have random thoughts again.

Not only did they let the plane pick them up, but they also sent Zheng Shufen and Zheng Baoyi, mother and daughter, back to Hong Kong Island.

But before the plane could take off, Chu Xiangqian received a telegram from Ichiro Matsuno.

Matsuno didn't want to disturb Chu Xiangqian at this time. Pablo was really urging him. He heard that he and his Colombian competitors were already at war with each other for the flour market in Magnesia.

Although Pablo still has a lot of cash in his hand, since the war has begun, the more money, the better.

By the way, Pablo wanted to purchase a batch of weapons and ammunition.

Chu Xiangqian refused the weapons purchase without even thinking about it.

Although there are still a lot of firearms in the novice village, Chu Qianqian would rather sell the weapons to Pablo's enemies at a low price than to Pablo.

There is no problem laundering money for him, but once Pablo wins the war among his peers in a short period of time.

Chu Xiangqian was 100% sure that Pablo would become the most wanted target of the Magnesium people.

Chu Xiangqian knew how to balance things, and Mei Guoguo naturally understood it better than him.

Once the flour from South America is occupied by Pablo alone, the pricing power will be solely decided by Pablo.

Once a monopoly is formed, whether gangs of all sizes want to purchase flour from South America, it all depends on Pablo's face.

At that time, for the sake of profit, these gangs, large and small, will definitely spend money to lobby the politicians of the country to kill Pablo.

Some banks in the country will also lose a large amount of gray income.

In the end, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the police in major cities in the country, and even the Bureau of Investigation itself will all want Pablo dead.

If you want to take down a multinational super flour group, it would be best if you can kill Pablo.

If you can't kill him, then first attack the collaborators who provide Pablo with weapons, ammunition, and bank services.

If the money and weapons come from the same person, the risk will be even greater.

Chu Xiangqian naturally did not want to become, like Pablo, one of the must-kill targets for the Chinese people.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian knows how to restrain himself. Pablo, who has been very prosperous in recent years, will not make money without it.

And the more money he earned, the more Pablo wanted to expand his force to protect his safety and wealth.

It's a pity that the final result of individuals versus the country is not much better.

Within a month, news came from the Magnesium Country that he was Pablo's partner in Miami and the third person in his team.

After an undercover agent from the Magnesium country discovered the specific location, a special team of 12 people arrested the person in one surprise attack.

Pablo suddenly became nervous.

Since he is number three, he knows a lot of secrets.

Moreover, once the sales network in Miami is completely destroyed, the losses will be huge.

Not only will a large number of manpower be lost, but it will be impossible to rebuild Miami's sales channels within a year or two.

This means that in the next one or two years, or even longer, the money you can earn will be greatly reduced.

Once the source of funding is lost, so many people under Pablo will definitely have objections.

It is even possible to kill him and replace him.

So after Pablo learned the news, he mentally prepared to save people while praying that his brother would not betray him.

But thinking so, Pablo took his family and hid in the mountains of Medellin.

It seems that Pablo himself understands that once he is caught by the people of the Magnesium Country, especially if he is caught in the Magnesium Country.

In the end, no one could help but speak.

Why did the people of Magnesium have to hand over those flour merchants who were arrested in South America to Magnesium?

It's just that people are not in the country of Magnesia, so many methods are not easy to use, and it is impossible to pry open the mouths of these flour bosses.

Nor can they get the money they hid.

But if a person is extradited to the Magnesium Country, life or death will be decided by the people of the Magnesium Country.

But South American countries are not stupid either. Being imprisoned in their own countries not only prevents the Chinese from interfering in politics, but the politicians in South America also want to make more money from flour merchants.

Therefore, in order to avoid being extradited to the United States, South American flour merchants have to send hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars.

What surprised the Chinese people was that the third person who was arrested not only did not betray the sales network in Miami, but also said nothing during the interrogation.

The other party also knew that if he opened his mouth, even if he received a commutation from the Magnesium people or even immunity from criminal prosecution, he would eventually be assassinated by someone sent by Pablo.

When Pablo learned from the insider of the National Bureau of Investigation that his brother didn't say anything, he immediately started thinking about how to rescue the person.

When Chu Xiangqian found out, he immediately cursed 'idiot' in his heart.

From a brother's point of view, there is nothing wrong with saving people.

But from the perspective of the business and society boss, taking the opportunity to kill the No. 3 figure as soon as possible is the most urgent thing.

As for killing his brother, will his subordinates stay away from him in the future?

Chu Xiangqian could only say that those who sell flour should not talk about brotherhood.

The more you think about how to save people and take action, it will slap the Chinese people in the face.

Needless to say, the people of Magnesium will only hate Pablo even more.
