20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 157: Exploring again and reporting again, there are clues

At Jiangzhai in the north of the city, the sky is about to dawn.

The candlelight was like a bean, and a map of Fengtian City was spread out on the kang table. Sun Chengmo, the third child, picked up his brush and drew a circle near the southern boundary of the city.

Before the ink was dry, there was a sound from the courtyard door outside the window.

Jiang Chenghai led Gong Baonan into the house, poured two bowls of water, and then sat down on the edge of the Kang.

Sun Chengmo couldn't wait and asked hurriedly: "Old Qi, have you seen the Kongming Lantern?"

Gong Baonan nodded, but couldn't help complaining: "Third brother, your lamp is too dim, I almost didn't see it!"

"It's too bright, why should you look at it?" Sun Chengmo moved away from the kang table, "Stop talking nonsense, come over and point it out."

A house that is a little more particular must face north and south. Calculate the time, and then use the position of the moon and the distance of the Kongming Lantern to roughly guess the location of Zhou Yunfu's secret house.

Gong Baonan stretched out his index finger, landed on the circle drawn by his third brother, and then lightly drew it in the southeast direction.

"Probably right along the line."

The area where the secret house is located has been further reduced, and the location can be determined with a little exploration.

Jiang Chenghai looked very satisfied and said, "Let's wait until Lao Liu comes back to handle this matter."

The two nodded slightly. In fact, they didn't know where Guan Wei was now, including his actions tonight. They didn't ask much about what the elder brother wanted.

"Third brother, is there any movement from the government?" Jiang Chenghai took a sip of water.

Sun Chengmo responded: "It's basically confirmed that Governor Xiliang will leave Fengtian at the end of the month. General Zhao is not yet sure when he will come back to take over. But now there are rumors everywhere in the official circles that the turmoil in the south is getting worse and the court is afraid of the outside world. It’s a mess, General Zhao will arrive in Fengtian within a month at the earliest, and after autumn at the latest.”

"It seems that it's only been a month or two. You two should be smarter!"

"Yeah! That's right, brother!"

Sun Chengmo suddenly remembered something again, and continued: "I heard that before General Zhao takes office, the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce will hold a meeting. I heard that this time, the young master of the Su family is preparing to run for office, and Bai Baochen is not ready to give up the throne."

Before the new official takes office, the local chamber of commerce joins merchants to discuss and make decisions. This is also common practice and is not really news.

Sun Chengmo just followed the principle of telling everything he knew and just informed him.

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Chenghai responded, "Third brother, you've been busy enough this night, so don't bother yourself. Let's deal with it in the fourth boy's room and get some sleep before leaving."

Sun Chengmo nodded, put away the map on the kang table, and left quickly without saying a word.

When Gong Baonan saw this, he immediately yawned, pulled on his shoes, and walked to the outhouse: "Brother, you should rest early, I'm going back first!"

"Stop!" Jiang Chenghai shouted harshly.

"No, brother, I've been busy all night, why don't you know how to feel sorry for others?"

"I didn't ask you to go to work now!"

"Ah, that's fine!" Gong Baonan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "What do you want me to do?"

"Starting tomorrow, go step on the plates near the Bai family's house, feel around, and check their housekeeping staff. Don't worry, keep an eye on it for a few more days, and let me know the situation then."

"Wait a minute, eldest brother, hasn't the second brother already dealt with the matter of stepping on the Bai family's plate?"

It seems that Gong Baonan did not sleep that night when they made a blood alliance.

Jiang Chenghai stared straight at Lao Qi without saying a word.

Gong Baonan was helpless and raised his hands with a wry smile: "I understand, I understand, no more questions."

……

……

Without further ado, nothing happened for the next few days.

The second brother Li Tianwei bought the train ticket, and the sixth brother Guanwei prepared a BMW and a revenge plan, just waiting for the eldest brother's order.

But Jiang Chenghai always stood still and remained as stable as a rock. Instead, he often went to the secret house in the east of the city and spent more time with Xiaodao and Xiaoyan than before.

It was just after lunch, and everyone was inevitably a little sleepy.

Xiaoyan and Xiaohua were taking a nap on the kang in the east room, while Xiaodao and his father were on the kang in the west room, wiping the barrel of the gun with oil cloth and counting the bullets. The explosives had already been transported to the old house.

"Trail."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaodao placed the cleaned gun barrel on the kang table, while Jiang Chenghai reassembled it.

The two of them looked relaxed, and they clearly held murder weapons in their hands, but they seemed to be sitting on the kang picking vegetables.

"There's something I've never asked you."

"Then just ask!"

"You -" Jiang Chenghai raised his head and glanced at his son, "I have been pinched by your uncles for five or six years. How are you doing? Can you take the lead on your own?"

Jiang Xiaodao was still wiping the barrel of the gun seriously: "Where do you mean it? You have to be specific. In the past few years, I have learned this skill very miscellaneously."

"How is your sixth uncle's Rong family cooking going? Can you catch up with him?"

"Hey! Dad, look at what you're asking!" Jiang Xiaodao put down the oilcloth, "What should I say? If I say I'm better than him, it seems like I'm bragging; if I say I can't catch up with him, I'm a little bit unhappy. Anyway, Uncle Liu said that I have good talent. In short, climbing over a wall or sneaking through a door is no problem!"

Jiang Chenghai nodded, loaded the last gun, and asked again: "You relied on the fan's skills, didn't you throw it away?"

"What? Are you begging for food?" Jiang Xiaodao hesitated, "I haven't practiced this skill since I came to Fengtian. How about I go out and try it again someday? Dad, don't say it. If you mention this, I will I feel really itchy.”

Jiang Chenghai smiled: "That's not necessary. Do you still remember why I asked you to follow Lao Cui in the first place when we were in Liaoyang?"

"Remember, how can I not remember it? The door is a craft that pays attention to the desolate, it is a way out."

"Well, just remember and be prepared!"

Jiang Xiaodao didn't pay attention and just asked: "Dad, when are we going to do it?"

Jiang Chenghai pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a minute and see what's going on with your seventh uncle." "Dong dong dong!"

While talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Jiang Xiaodao shouted.

"Brother Dao, Uncle Hai!" Zhao Guoyan walked into the house thoughtfully.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Sit down!" Jiang Xiaodao moved his buttocks inside, "What's wrong, is something wrong?"

Zhao Guoyan looked at the guns and ammunition on the kang table. He was a little hesitant at first, but finally decided that his second brother was dead anyway, so there was no need to be loyal to a dead man.

"Uncle Hai, there is something I think I should tell you."

"Huh?" Jiang Chenghai noticed something strange and immediately stopped what he was doing, "Say!"

"Back then, my second brother and I... no, with Chen Wantang..."

Jiang Chenghai raised his hand to interrupt: "Guo Yan, you don't have to do this. You didn't participate in the night attack. Even though you have followed Xiaodao now, you don't need to show your loyalty in this way. Everything will be settled! Chen Wantang is My enemy is true, but everyone is his own master, and human nature dictates that he should be your second brother or your second brother."

After hearing these words, Zhao Guoyan relaxed a little.

"Back then, when my second brother and I went to seek refuge with the Bai family, he once said something in front of Bai Guoping. The general meaning was...he placed a knife behind you that has not yet been sharpened."

Jiang Xiaodao's face suddenly stiffened.

"An unedged knife? What does that mean?"

"I don't know what it means specifically." Zhao Guoyan looked at the firearms on the table again, "I just think it should be necessary to tell you about this."

"I don't know?" Jiang Xiaodao looked suspicious, "You work under Chen Wantang. What does it mean? Can't you take a guess?"

"This...Brother Dao, I can't talk nonsense."

Jiang Chenghai seemed calmer. There was no need for Zhao Guoyan to tell half of this kind of thing and hide it half.

Information is blocked, and the subordinates are only responsible for the work. Only a very few, or even only the leader, can know the complete plan, thus ensuring that the secret will not be leaked.

Not only would Chen Wantang do this, he is also doing this now.

Jiang Chenghai originally thought that everything was ready, but now he suddenly heard that there was a knife behind him, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"When did he say this?"

Zhao Guoyan recalled it and said, "It was probably not long before that night attack."

"hiss!"

Jiang Cheng Haixin said, that was already more than half a year ago.

"Did he say anything similar before this?"

Zhao Guoyan shook his head: "That's not true. Uncle Hai, you should know that the second brother rarely talks."

"Eh?" Jiang Xiaodao glanced out of the window and suddenly interjected, "Dad, Uncle Seven is back!"

Jiang Chenghai quickly got off the kang and put on his shoes, and told the two of them to wait in the house while he walked to the yard to greet Gong Baonan.

"Lao Qi, how is the situation over there with the Bai family?"

"Brother, the situation is different from what the second brother said!"

Gong Baonan's expression was serious, which was rare.

"There are ten permanent poles and hangings alone, not counting the night watchers of the concierge. Moreover, I have been watching for several days, but I haven't seen Bai Baochen sitting on the balcony in the afternoon."

When they stepped on the spot for the third time, the Bai family reacted!

There's air leakage!
Jiang Chenghai's calmness reflects his value.

Gong Baonan couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "Eldest brother, second brother, will he..."

Jiang Chenghai immediately interrupted: "Don't think nonsense, he has a lot of trouble with the Bai family. If your second brother can vote for the Bai family, I can vote for him!"

Gong Baonan was very knowledgeable and didn't say much.

Jiang Chenghai thought for a moment. Not only was he not overly worried, but a long-lost excitement appeared on his face.

"It's interesting, haha, it's interesting! Lao Qi, I may have to contact the Su family again."

"Still contacting them?" Gong Baonan couldn't believe it.

The last night attack was because the Su family broke their trust and did not inform them, but directly joined forces with Zhou Yunfu, resulting in the death of the fourth child, Jin Xiaoyi. It is really unjustifiable to find them again.

Jiang Chenghai said helplessly: "There is no way. The situation is too complicated. If you can do more, you can do more. And, strictly speaking, the Su family didn't let us down. The last time, it should have been Su Yuansheng's idea."

"Then I'll go find Su Wenqi."

Gong Baonan rarely came forward, but was rejected by Jiang Chenghai.

"No, I'll go by myself!"

"Brother, isn't it too dangerous?" Gong Baonan shook his head quickly, "At least you have to let me accompany you!"

Jiang Chenghai sneered: "The effect will be better if you hide it!"

Just as he was talking, Jiang Xiaodao couldn't help but walked out of the room.

"Dad, is nothing going to happen?"

"Xiaodao, come here!" Jiang Chenghai greeted, "Later, you go to 'Heshengfang' and ask Han Ce how many people he wants. The more the better, and just say I asked you to go."

Jiang Xiaodao frowned after hearing this: "Can the people under Han Ce be relied on to do things?"

"Xiaodao, know the rules and just do what I say!"

Jiang Chenghai didn't explain too much, but he already had a countermeasure in his mind - use the trick!
　Thanks to Siyan Hamster’s father for the reward and support!
　　Boss atmosphere!
