20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 218
In the evening, a secret house in the south of the city.

The carriage stopped at the door of the house. As soon as Han Ce walked into the yard, he immediately noticed something strange.

The surroundings were too deserted, the servants who were sweeping the floor and cooking were silent, and the thugs who were looking after the house were droopy. There seemed to be a dead air in the whole house, which made people shudder.

"Why are there only so few people today?" Han Ce walked to the leader and asked, "Where are the others?"

The leading nurse was in his thirties, with a strong physique and a straight figure. After hearing the question, he had no choice but to reply awkwardly: "A few have asked for leave, and a few others, I don't know what the situation is, haven't come for two or three days." ”

"Who asked them to ask for leave?" Han Ce's eyes widened angrily, "You are still the leader. Do you know what the situation is now? If the old man makes any mistakes, can you afford it? Huh?"

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Although he said this, the leading nurse didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"You know you can't afford it, why are you still standing here?" Han Ce jumped in anger, "Why don't you hurry up and call me back? What? Jiang Xiaodao has made some noise recently, and you are still following it. Are you worried? The Zhou family is not finished yet! As for the business of Huifangli and Heshengfang, as well as the contacts in the patrol camp, we have everything we should have, why are you panicking?"

"Master Han, it's useless for you to tell me this!" The leading nurse smiled helplessly, "I'm not leaving."

"Go and call them all back quickly!"

"Okay, Mr. Han, calm down, I'll go over right now!"

After the leading nurse left, Han Ce straightened his clothes angrily and immediately walked into the back room.

Zhou Yunfu was like a stone sculpture, lying on a wicker chair, holding a big smoking gun in his left hand. Only his beak-like mouth moved and puffed out a few puffs of smoke, proving that he was still a breathing creature.

"Uncle, why are you still smoking!" Han Ce walked forward, leaned over and sat down, "Didn't the doctor tell you to stop smoking?"

Zhou Yunfu's eyes were dull, but he suddenly sighed and asked: "If you don't smoke, what will you do if you don't smoke? Just stare and wait to die?"

"Uncle, look at what you are saying!" Han Ce quickly comforted, "You are still strong! Moreover, when I look at the current situation, it is exactly the same as what you guessed at the beginning. We are in chaos outside the customs. Don’t get up, Governor Zhao now relies on the patrol camp, and the status of the patrol camp has also risen with the tide. The relationship we have cultivated in the past few years has not been spent in vain!"

Looking back now, when he was discussing with "Hai Lao Owl", "Chuan'er Hong" and "Chuang Tang Feng" at Jiang Zhai in the north of the city, Zhou Yunfu did make a winning bet, but this did not seem to be enough to cheer up the old man.

When he woke up, Zhou Yunfu had already realized that Jiang Xiaodao was still safe and sound when he made such a big fuss in Falun Temple. He must have a backer behind him.

Han Ce still didn't take it seriously and just said: "Uncle, even if you are right, Jiang Xiaodao and we are both from the same backer. After weighing it, we still have the advantage at present. Moreover, I have also been with Wang Yanzong. I’ve been informed.”

"Oh? What did Wang Guandai say?"

"He said look again."

Zhou Yunfu tilted his head and repeated: "He said to have a look again."

Han Ce nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Yunfu sighed: "Then there's no chance."

Han Ce quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, he took all the money!"

Zhou Yunfu shook his head slightly, closed his eyelids, and was too lazy to talk anymore.

Even though Han Ce was a little disappointed, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, since Zhang Jiuye died, you have become more and more depressed. I really don't understand. Why is this necessary? I really don't understand. We are not at the end of our rope now." , isn’t the business still there?”

"Nephew, do you know what momentum is?" Zhou Yunfu asked.

"know."

"You know what the heck!" Zhou Yunfu refuted Han Ce's words mercilessly, "If this person is on the momentum, then he is like 'Every time comes and heaven and earth work together', just say it, even if you have any oversights or mistakes, God can help you cover up the matter. Now, Jiang Xiaodao is on this momentum, and the three families are fighting over each other, and finally let this kid pick up the slack and take advantage of him. "

"So we can't let him go." Han Ce said bitterly, "Now that the Bai family has let him go, we must strike first."

Zhou Yunfu shook his head and interrupted: "Nephew, while my head is still clear, I will finally show you a dangerous path."

Since it is a dangerous road, it means that in the old man's opinion, if he continues at the current pace, the road ahead will be a foreseeable end.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Nephew, there are two uncles over there at Jiang Xiaodao, and they are acquainted with you. If it doesn't work out, after a while, you can take all the manpower and business with you to visit the dock for Jiang Xiaodao. In this way, maybe you can still Leave a life behind."

"What did you say?" Han Ce's eyes widened.

This time, he was convinced that the old man was indeed confused.

"Uncle, you are asking me to jump into a pit of fire! You have forgotten that we sold Jiang Xiaodao and the others to the Bai family in the first place!"

Zhou Yunfu seemed to have no intention of arguing anymore, and just said lightly: "I haven't forgotten, so I asked you to go to an acquaintance to plead for mercy. You can ask Guan Wei."

"What are you asking for!" Han Ce shook his head quickly, "The young aunt of the Bai family made peace with Jiang Xiaodao, but then she was killed and her family was wiped out. If I really go to him, they won't chop me up on the spot! "

"Well, you're not like them."

"Why is it different?"

"You're reassuring."

"Me!" Han Ce's face turned red, "Uncle, why do you need to be so proud of others and destroy your own prestige? You don't take me seriously. After all, I am already this age, how can I go to worship Jiang Xiaodao? Pier? After all, you all think I can’t do it, but this time, I will definitely show you that I can do it!”

"Well, good! You are ambitious!" Zhou Yunfu comforted him and sat down, but then asked, "Have you eaten? Stay and have a bite with your uncle."

"I'm not hungry!" Han Ce stood up and walked away.

A few scattered thugs in the yard originally gathered in twos and threes. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they quickly dispersed. They looked up at the sky and down at the ground, pretending that nothing happened.Han Ce glanced at everyone, snorted coldly, and walked out of the gate of the house.

…………

In Jiangzhai in the north of the city, there is a bowl of pickled cabbage stewed vermicelli on the Kang table, with a few slices of white meat and frozen tofu on top.

Jiang Xiaodao picked up a chopstick-head pickled cabbage from the bowl, rolled it twice on the garlic sauce plate, piled it on top of the rice, and took a quick bite. His eyes suddenly narrowed to a slit.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at his eating appearance and couldn't help but frown: "Xiaodao, what did Commander Zhang say today? Did he think we were making too much noise?"

"That's not the case!" Jiang Xiaodao hugged the bowl and refused to let go, "Commander Zhang said that as long as he doesn't go too far, he won't care about me. He also told me that now is a good time, and all the attention from above will be taken away. The party has no time to deal with our petty quarrels."

"Then there's no need to specially call you over!" Hu Xiaoyan asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"

Jiang Xiaodao nodded: "Indeed, I was assigned some dirty work."

Hu Xiaoyan's heart tightened and she quickly asked: "Is it dangerous?"

"Ouch! Farting in the wind is not dangerous at all."

Halfway through his words, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly looked out the window, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Daughter-in-law, there is going to be a big movement in Fengtian."

She originally planned to give it a try, but unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyan asked directly: "Are you going to kill someone?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaodao was stunned, "How did you know?"

"The list we handed him before has been silent for so long. Today, I suddenly asked you to come over. I guess it's probably because of this. Could it be that I want you to help kill people?"

"How is that possible! What is his current status? Why does he need help from others if he wants to kill people? He is afraid that those people will run away after hearing the news, so he just asked me to help keep an eye on him, ventilate him, report him, etc."

"Then have you told Su Wenqi?"

"He saved my dad's life, of course I had to tell him."

Hu Xiaoyan nodded blankly and murmured: "Didn't you say that peace talks between the North and the South were held? Why are they killing people again now?"

"Hey! The conversation didn't go well!" Jiang Xiaodao asked nonchalantly, "Didn't you read the newspaper?"

Hu Xiaoyan glared at him viciously.

Jiang Xiaodao came to his senses in shock, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't read."

"You're still talking about it!" Hu Xiaoyan complained, "When are you going to teach me how to read?"

"After the New Year, I will definitely teach you after the New Year!"

Hu Xiaoyan skipped this question and turned to ask more about it.

It turned out that although the North-South Peace Conference had been discussed for nearly a month, because Fang Datou was suspicious by nature and cautious at every step, the peace talks had always remained on the table, while secretly he had been purging the rebels in the North.

The Southern Congress Party gradually showed its decline, and the so-called peace talks naturally turned into unilateral compromises and concessions.

The three provinces outside the customs have never been recovered. Governor Zhao has good relations with Fang Datou and has always been tough on the party forces.

Especially since his brother was killed in Sichuan and Chongqing, Governor Zhao has become more and more wary of the CCP forces and must eliminate them quickly. However, Zhang Long, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, who is still smoking cigarettes and dreaming in a brothel in Fengtian, Naturally, it became a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

A large-scale manhunt will inevitably produce many grievances, and these grievances are Jiang Xiaodao's opportunities.

Zhang Laogeda was willing to reveal this news to Jiang Xiaodao not because Jiang Xiaodao was so indispensable.

The key is that although Zhang Laogeda has a lot of troops, in the final analysis, he is also an outsider, and his foundation in Fengtian is not solid. If he wants to be transparent, the best way is to let a local snake grow up who is attached to him. Help him find out the news.

At the right time, Jiang Xiaodao naturally became the first choice.

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoyan immediately said happily: "Xiaodao, this is indeed a great opportunity. You must seize it."

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaodao laughed twice, "Daughter-in-law, how are you? Did you marry the wrong person? If I were you, I would just have fun under the covers with my cat under the covers every day!"

Hu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, changed the subject, and asked, "By the way, what do you think about Uncle Qi's matter?"

"Don't mention it!" Jiang Xiaodao curled his lips, "I haven't dealt with him since I was a child. Day by day, he has to screw with me! If he insists on saving that little girl, then let him raise her. Anyway, I told him Come on, don’t leave that girl alone.”

"Then, do you still want to eat from the Bai family's property?"

"Eat! Why don't you eat? That girl must have some blood if she wants to survive! However, I don't even know how much business the Bai family has, and I guess I don't know about that little girl."

While talking, the door of the mansion suddenly opened.

Hu Xiaoyan bowed slightly and continued, "You'll know right away."

"What do you know?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

At this time, Zhao Guoyan suddenly stuck his head out from the door and dragged a person into the house.

"Brother Dao, sister-in-law, Chu Liangsheng, the housekeeper of the Bai family, has brought you here."
