20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 178: Look out for the wind
Less gossip.

Let's talk about Jiang Xiaodao moving from Qianshan Green Forest to rescue troops.

After everyone arrived at Fengtian, in order to avoid being noticed, they were divided into groups of three or two, disguised as salesmen, and entered the city in batches from the east and south gates, and then went to the deserted temple of Falun Temple in the North Tower. Meet.

This time I went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye there were more than ten days of scenery.

No one expected that in just half a month, no one in the provincial capital would investigate the three major cases of the Bai family.

What the citizens spread by word of mouth was the general trend of the world. A few people who occasionally mentioned the bombing of the textile factory all speculated that it was the work of the Qing Party.

Even though the government offices in the city knew the reason, they had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

The students were in high spirits, unfurling banners and handing out leaflets every day. Governor Zhao sent a patrol battalion to suppress and arrest them, and fired warning shots. The young people dispersed in droves, leaving colorful revolutionary slogans all over the ground.

The gentry, industry and commerce each have their own tendencies and ideas.

Those who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and those who supported the emperor had a small meeting every three days and a big meeting every five days. There was so much quarrel on the stage that spits flew, and everyone below the stage mobilized their troops.

For a while, there was so much chaos that no one could figure it out, and no one could tell what was going on.

The general trend of the world is approaching a turning point.

The so-called vendetta is not worth mentioning at all!
At nightfall, after Jiang Xiaodao settled everyone in the deserted temple of Falun Temple, he followed Uncle Qi to the Nantie Annex to meet Hu Xiaoyan.

In November outside the customs, the weather is slightly cold.

Hu Xiaoyan wrapped several layers of cotton wool around the broken leg, but she still felt a dull pain from the cold.

Nakamura Ichiro closed the door, lit a brazier in the house, and went downstairs to boil water and make tea. Jiang, Hu, Lao Qi, and Xiaohua sat on the tatami on the second floor and chatted.

As soon as Jiang Xiaodao sat down, he asked: "Daughter-in-law, how are you? That little devil didn't bully you, did he?"

"No, don't worry!" Hu Xiaoyan asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Jiang Xiaodao patted his chest and said proudly: "Uncle Wang lent me ten men, which is enough!"

Gong Baonan leaned on the pillar on the second floor and said with emotion: "It's not easy to provide help in times of need. I didn't expect that Wang Guihe is quite interesting."

"Hey! Then you have to tell me, where is the friendship between my father and him?" Jiang Xiaodao said impatiently, "Uncle Qi, you have been looking for Zhou Yunfu before. To be honest, did my father ask you to attack him?"

Now that the matter has come to this, Gong Baonan sees that there are no outsiders, so he no longer hides it.

"That's what happened! Your father didn't say it clearly, but I guess he was worried that once the Bai family is not cleared out, Zhou Yunfu will sell us to the Bai family."

Jiang Xiaodao was stunned, then turned to look at Hu Xiaoyan and said, "Daughter-in-law, okay, I really made you guess!"

Hu Xiaoyan was not pleased.

During the past half month, she had been in the photo studio, but there were four people inquiring about the news, and she knew what was going on in the provincial capital. There was no friction between the Bai family and the Zhou family, and it looked like they had finally made peace.

"Fuck! This Lao Deng is so fucking unjust!" Jiang Xiaodao immediately scolded, "We worked hard for him, but he is hooking up with the Bai family!"

Gongbao Nan laughed sarcastically: "What do you think we, those of us who run around in the world, are good at? The younger ones under my command beat each other until their faces turn red, and they call each other brothers with the help of dragons and ladles. They are always like this."

"Then what are we waiting for? Strike first to gain the upper hand, let's just follow the plan and show off!"

"Okay, go ahead and don't count me in."

"Hey! Uncle Qi, why are you so scared of this last resort?" Jiang Xiaodao looked slightly dissatisfied.

Gong Baonan picked up the stove hook, raised the fire, and teased: "You only know how to fight head-on. If your father hadn't left a record, how could you, a stupid person like you, kill Bai Baochen? Do you know how many patrols there are in the provincial city now?" camp?"

"How many?"

Gong Baonan stretched out his hand and said, "Stop talking about 5000 people!"

"Holy shit! Why do so many soldiers suddenly come to the city and want to rebel?"

The patrol battalion is originally a local armed force. On weekdays, only a small number of them are stationed in the city to help the patrol police maintain law and order. Most of the time, they are stationed outside the city.

When Jiang Xiaodao entered the city, he also noticed that there were more and more patrol camps, but he didn't expect them to be so numerous.

"What do you think?" Gong Baonan shook his head helplessly, "In this situation, if you dare to make any noise, the whole city will be under martial law immediately, and you will have nowhere to run. You will definitely be regarded as a rebel. If you catch me, you will have eight mouths and you won’t be able to explain them clearly.”

"Ah? What's the deal? We've called everyone here, so we can't just stare at each other here, right?"

Jiang Xiaodao couldn't help but look at his wife.

Hu Xiaoyan lowered her head, picked her fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Dad told me before that if we want to hide in our small fights, we must follow the flow. At any time, the heaven and earth will work together to resist the wind. If you commit a crime, there is no chance of success, and if you don’t fix it well, you can easily get burned.”

Jiang Xiaodao seems to have some enlightenment.

"I understand, just fart in the wind, stinking others, and making yourself smell good!"

It's easy to understand, but no one wants to talk about it.

Gong Baonan put down the stove hook and asked again: "Xiaoyan, what else did eldest brother tell you before? Are there any other arrangements?"

Hu Xiaoyan shook her head and sighed: "Except for the things in the secret house, there is nothing else to arrange. However, dad said that if the Qing Party breaks out and starts an uprising, Fengtian will be in chaos. Maybe we can fish in troubled waters by then?"

Jiang Xiaodao curled his lips: "That's what I said, then if they deflate the eggplant, we won't take revenge?"

"It would be better if they failed—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

Holding a tray with five cups of oolong tea on it, Nakamura Ichiro came to the crowd and sat down slowly.

"Jiang Jun, your country's revolution will definitely succeed."

"Okay, you understand again!" Jiang Xiaodao frowned, "Nakamura, we are the two of us. Whether or not the settlement is successful is our own business. What does it have to do with you?"

Nakamura Ichiro smiled awkwardly: "Of course it does matter. Your country is vast and the Qing government will not fall. It has something to do with all countries. Moreover, most of your alliance members have also been to my country. "

"What happened?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

Nakamura Ichiro explained: "You can't read the Japanese newspapers. I heard that your Governor Zhao requested to use our railway to mobilize troops, but we refused. The Qing government probably won't last long. Unless you are willing Please help us send troops."

"Ah ho! Stop it!" Jiang Xiaodao immediately waved his hand, "A few years ago, you guys drove Mao Zi away, and you didn't want to leave, and asked you to help. I don't know how many famines it will cause!"

Nakamura Ichiro wanted to say something else, but Jiang Xiaodao didn't want to hear it anymore.

In fact, at present, Japan is also facing the debate between royalism and revolution. Let’s not talk about the ambitions of the Japanese in the face of neutrality.Everyone is a commoner and has little knowledge.

Finally, it was Hu Xiaoyan who spoke: "I heard that Governor Zhao will have a meeting with party members in two days. Maybe, after the meeting is over, we will know some trends."

Jiang Xiaodao nodded: "Uncle Qi, let's just take a look first?"

"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Gong Baonan lay down lazily, "Anyway, I heard that that boy Zhang Long is a bit too young to stand upright!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Xiaoyan seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Xiaodao, we still have to pay attention to Tan Renjun and Liu Yansheng..."

…………

at the same time.

Xiaoxiguan, Huifangli.

After more than ten days of "leaderless" chaos, tonight, the girls finally found their backbone.

When the lights were on, a carriage suddenly stopped at the door of "Huifangli".

As soon as Han Ce's feet landed on the ground, more than a dozen personal guards immediately came forward. The scene was quite grand, attracting passers-by to look sideways.

The big teapot had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the carriage coming, he immediately rushed up to meet it and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Mr. Han, you are here. If you don't come, this business will be broken up soon." Got it!"

"You bastard!" Han Ce glared and cursed, "Our Zhou family hasn't collapsed yet! Everyone is in a panic. How ridiculous is that!"

After that, he strode into the store.

"Huifangli" was brightly lit, but there were no guests. The girls were sitting in groups on the tea table, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and chatting. Seeing Han Ce coming in, Wuyang rushed to the door and chirped. non-stop.

"Oh, Mr. Han, can we still do this business?"

"That's right! Sister Hong is still nowhere to be found, and there's no accurate information on what's going on. She wants to open, but Fulong and he are blocking her in every possible way!"

"We sisters are just taking advantage of our youth to collect some money. If you guys quit, please give us a warm word!"

Han Ce looked bored: "Okay, okay! What are you arguing about? Everything has been settled. Starting from tonight, 'Huifangli' will be open as usual, and 'Chun'erhong' will not be there anymore. What should we do in the future?" , just do it!”

"Then who should we listen to? We can't just listen to the big teapot gesticulating, right?"

Han Ce scratched his head. The business of a brothel is indeed not suitable for men to manage.

Besides, after making peace with the Bai family, he still had to take care of the business of "Heshengfang", and he really didn't have the skills to do all the work.

After thinking for a while, Han Ce called Fulong over and asked in a low voice: "When Chuan'erhong was here, who was the most proud of? There is no need to be more talented. Let's stabilize the situation first, and then I will choose a person to take charge." of."

When Fulong heard this, without even thinking about it, he immediately shouted loudly: "Ling Chun'er, Ling Chun'er! Come on, come on, hurry up, Master Han has something to say!"

Zhao Lingchun walked down the stairs with a confused look on his face and followed Fulong's example: "Master Han, are you looking for me?"

Han Ce looked him up and down, smacked his lips and said in disgust: "Why is he still a loser?"

Fulong hurriedly came over to explain: "Master Han, don't look at her failure. This girl has been raised since she was a child. She is a natural talent. You know, some customers specialize in this bite. Although she is not the top one, she can still eat it. And , this girl has helped you deal with the 'Woyun Tower' matter before! Sister Hong usually takes it very seriously."

"Oh, that's what happened! That's considered meritorious!"

Han Ce didn't think any more, raised his hand and pinched Zhao Lingchun's butt, and said with a smile: "There has been a lot of commotion recently. I'll let you take care of the business here in 'Huifangli' first. If there's anything you don't understand, just let me know." Can we discuss it with Fulong?"

Before Zhao Lingchun could answer, the other girls became unhappy.

"Yeah! Her? Why is it her?"

"In terms of years, I have stayed in Huifangli longer than her! It's not her turn no matter what!"

Han Ce slapped the table and glared: "What the hell do you call a bunch of shrews? I told him to take care of it first, so I let her take care of it. If you don't accept it, hold it in. After a while, I will find someone to take over Chuan'er. red'!"

Everyone was still dissatisfied. Although their voices were a little lower, they were still whispering behind their backs.

As the situation in "Huifangli" was being settled, no one noticed that two little beggars were squatting under the wall across the street, pretending to be calm and looking at the situation in the store.

"Hey, hey, boy, where is Gaha? Don't let your eyes fall down!"

Little Xifeng joked and raised his hand, slapped the little beggar next to him on the head lightly.

Xiao Shitou lowered his head and giggled twice, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Oops? What's going on?"

Xiao Xifeng looked at his new little brother, and then at Zhao Lingchun who was standing at the door of "Huifangli".

"What, do you like it? Your hair hasn't grown all yet, so you've got a lot to think about! Come on, let me check it out!"

Xiao Shitou immediately protected his crotch and said with a smile: "Brother, don't make trouble! Don't make trouble!"

"Hey! Old man, why are you blushing! Aren't you just a slave girl? From now on, you can hang out with Brother Dao and save some money. When your hair grows full, she won't just let you play with it!"

"Brother, don't you think she is pretty?"

Xiao Xifeng touched Xiao Shitou's forehead and joked: "Brother, are you okay? Didn't you see the scar on her eyebrow?"

Xiao Shitou is still young and still immersed in ignorance. His eyes are covered with a veil, and everything he looks at is tantalizing.

"Scars look pretty good, and I know her."

"You know her?"

Little Shitou nodded: "She's a very nice person. She gave me money before, a big ocean. She's so generous!"

"Bullshit!" Xiao Xifeng had been around for a long time and had some impressions of Zhao Lingchun. "Several of our other buddies also asked her for money, but they didn't give her a cent. It's really embarrassing."

After hearing this, Xiao Shitou was not angry but happy, and felt that he was special.

"It's probably because she felt sorry for me, or maybe she was in a good mood that day."

The more Xiao Xifeng listened, the more bizarre he felt, so he asked: "When did it happen and where is it?"
