20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 248 Red and Black

A spring rain came all night.

I couldn't tell when it came, and I couldn't see the raindrops. I just felt that the clothes on my body were getting damp and heavy.

Not far from the Qiao family's residence, in a dark and gloomy alley.

Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan came to the agreed place and waited for Chuanghu to come out.

The cigarette butts on the ground gathered more and more, until they were turned into dregs by the rain, and the poppies under the bed finally appeared at the intersection.

"elder brother!"

Chuanghu shouted softly, stood on tiptoe, and hurried forward.

Jiang Lianheng asked head-on: "How are you doing? What's going on?"

"Ouch! Didn't do it!"

"That's not what I asked."

"Oh, yes, yes." Chuanghu waved his hand, as if to dispel some thoughts in his head, "Brother, I didn't expect that I met an 'acquaintance' in the room just now."

"Acquaintance?" Jiang Lianheng asked doubtfully, "Do you know him?"

"We both know each other!" Chuang Hu said with a smile, "Do you still remember that girl sitting opposite me on the train? I bet she is Mr. Qiao's daughter-in-law!"

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

Jiang Lianheng was quite surprised. Just thinking about it made him feel weird.

It’s not like he was targeted when he just came out of Fengtian, right?

And, she’s a woman?

Jiang Lianheng pondered for a while.

But after thinking about it, in my memory, there was nothing suspicious about the young woman except that she had taken a red pill, so I just made a mental note and continued to ask about Second Master Qiao.

Chuanghu said: "Brother, this Second Master Qiao is really a bit of a bastard."

"How?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

Chuanghu explained: "This person's beliefs are too mixed. He also worships ancestors and foreign gods. He even has a special room in his house for various gods and immortals."

Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan looked at each other and said, "I know this. Tell me, what did Mr. Qiao say at home?"

Chuanghu recalled it carefully, thought through his thoughts, and summarized the following three points.

First, the business may be dead.

Mr. Qiao is careful to sail a ten-year ship. He would rather make less money but seek stability.

Secondly, I heard that there was a shopkeeper Ma and a shopkeeper Xie who wanted to harm Jiang Lianheng.

These two people seemed to be familiar with Mr. Qiao.

Thirdly, the Qiao family still has a business on the dock, and this business seems to be related to reputation.

Jiang Lianheng was silent, and after listening to each one, his expression naturally became more solemn.

Zhao Guoyan looked worried.

After all, the four people on this trip, Liu Yansheng and Wang Zhengnan, were not very skilled, and the only ones who could really fight were Jiang Lianheng and himself.

Thinking of the shocking night in Laoye Pavilion last night, Zhao Guoyan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Dao, what are the origins of Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie?"

Jiang Lianheng nodded: "Before coming here, Sifengkou inquired about the news. These two people are in Fengtian. They are the shopkeepers of Hengrui and Rongan pharmacies. They also sell red pills."

At this point, there is no need to say anything more.

The three families formed a partnership, and Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie jointly gave benefits to the Qiao family. Second Master Qiao was cautious and would rather not play tricks. He was stunned and refused to open the door to Jiang Lianheng. It was obvious that he wanted to run out of the Jiang family.

If it were Fengtian, the two shopkeepers Ma and Xie would definitely not dare to attack Jiang Lian.

But now that they are in Yingkou, the two families are eager to give it a try.

In the final analysis, it is still black gold and huge profits, the temptation is irresistible, and they are competing with each other. How can there be no blood soaked in it?

In this way, Laoye Pavilion's frightened night was probably a wake-up call. If he didn't leave, he might be serious about it.

It's a good idea, but what kind of temper does Jiang Lianheng have?

Shunmao donkey, can't help but praise it!

It's easy to negotiate and give some profit, but maybe he'll give it up with a slap on the forehead.

He secretly used stumbling blocks and used dirty tricks to bluff people, but he lost all his hair and had to fight with them to the end.

Especially after he stepped on the Zhou family and defeated the Bai family, Jiang Lianheng's ambitions expanded rapidly, and his temper became even more difficult to control.

Zhao Guoyan advised: "Brother Dao, this place is too dangerous now. Let me tell you, let's transfer a few more people from home?"

Jiang Lianheng shook his head: "Even if we bring all the family members, Yingkou will still be Yingkou, not Fengtian."

Back then, my father and six brothers defeated the Changfeng Escort Bureau without firing a single shot.

Playing wildly on other people's territory is not a solution after all, it still requires cleverness.

"Qiao Er dares to leave us here. In the final analysis, we still have no worries about sales." Jiang Lianheng continued, "If we can kill Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie in Fengtian, then we won't be begging Qiao Er to form a partnership. But Qiao Er begged us to form a partnership."

"Then - send a telegram to my sister-in-law tomorrow?" Zhao Guoyan asked.

"Just let Nan Feng handle this matter." Jiang Lianheng ordered, "In the past few days, you have to work hard and try to understand all the Qiao family's business."

Watching the two of them talking more and more horribly, Chuanghu was worried at the side, interjecting from time to time, winking, and reminding: "Brother, my book - that book -"

Jiang Lianheng came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Oh, don't worry! I'll remember it!"

"That's good, that's good." Chuanghu said with a smile, "How about, if nothing happens, I'll go to Fengtian and wait for you?"

"That's not possible!" Jiang Lianheng hugged Yu under the bed, "I quite care about you. Wait here and go back with me! This time you have done a great job, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. !"   "Eh? Brother, what are you doing?" Chuang Hu shrank and looked even smaller, "Brothers collect wind and steal the moon. They all talk about the harmony of yin and yang, but they have no interest in men's style!"

Jiang Lianheng deliberately teased him and asked, "What's wrong, you don't have a keyhole?"

Chuanghu saw sweat on his forehead and stammered: "Brother, you can't do it, you can't do it! Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"Follow me first, maybe there will be some use for you."

"No, no, no, brother, I'm really useless, I'm just a bad idea, not reliable at all!"

He is used to being bullied by his rivals, so he is inevitably timid and afraid of getting into trouble. After hearing about the other party's business, he becomes even more frightened.

Jiang Lianheng said, "I'm sure you are right. You have such good skills, but you use them to do such bad things, but you are in vain! Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly. Don't you want to publish a book?"

"I think! But, brother, how about we discuss it again...Brother...Brother..."

…………

This is the day, Fengtian.

At Jiangzhai in the north of the city, Hu Xiaoyan had just had lunch.

I was lazing in the study, flipping through a few pages of newspapers, and was about to take a nap when Xifeng suddenly knocked on the door and entered the house.

"Sister-in-law, there's another letter from Brother Dao!"

Li Zhengxi quickly walked to the desk and handed over the translated message.

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly became nervous - she sent telegrams for two consecutive days, which showed that the trip to Yingkou was not going smoothly.

When I unfolded the message, I saw that the black gold, blood, and betrayal business were of course very interesting:

"The wind is not correct, the outside door has a long neck and the door cannot be opened, there is a fire in the backyard, the foot is overgrown, the inside is crooked, and the upper support is clear."

The business negotiations are not going well. The out-of-town vendors are unwilling to cooperate. Someone is causing trouble at home. Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie. Please cooperate with me and get rid of them.

This matter was no small matter, so Hu Xiaoyan immediately called to the east and north outlets and quickly notified Zhong Yushan and Han Xinyuan to come home to discuss it.

An hour later, everyone met in the lobby of the mansion.

Everyone sat down and circulated the message.

Han Xinyuan looked at it and said in a low voice: "Since Brother Dao has already said, 'I asked you to do it,' there is a high probability that there will be a rift over there."

Zhong Yushan echoed angrily: "That's it! I'll find two people tomorrow. It's an easy job."

Zhao Zhengbei got up after snapping the case, and immediately cursed: "I think those two people are tired of living. They are stinky drugstore operators, and they dare to force themselves, what the hell!"

"I think they are afraid." Li Zhengxi snorted coldly, "If Brother Dao takes over their business, they will have nothing to do."

Everyone was talking about it. Although everyone said their own things, there was a consensus on one thing:

Playing dirty tricks to bully the Jiang family and refuse to agree!

Only Hu Xiaoyan remained silent and didn't seem to think this was a good idea.

The situation in Fengtian is now stable, and we can no longer fish in troubled waters and kill people in the chaos like before.

It wouldn't be a big deal if we eliminated a few hooligans, but Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie were respectable businessmen after all. If we wanted to touch them, we had to give the government an explanation.

Zhao Zhengbei didn't care and shouted: "Sister-in-law, what are you afraid of! We have Zhang Laoga as our backer, so what's wrong with killing two people?"

Hu Xiaoyan said: "Zhang Laoge is a person who wants the hearts of the people. If you embarrass him, we will be the ones killed."

Zhang Zhengdong asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Just bang and bang, don't make too much noise."

Everyone looked at each other, but asked in unison: "Is this possible? Brother Dao has already said that we should cooperate to clear them both. If the matter is not done, we can't delay Brother Dao, right? What if? What should I do if something happens?"

"So you have to reply to him quickly." Hu Xiaoyan explained, "He is in Yingkou now. Even if you clear out Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Xie, it will be useless. There should be danger, but there will still be danger."

The head sister-in-law knows very well that Zhang Laoda will get bored sooner or later because she is always fighting and killing in the provincial capital.

Zhang Laogeda was willing to help Jiang Lianheng because he wanted him to help with things, rather than letting him cause trouble everywhere.

If you can't understand your "highest intention", no matter how big your backer is, it will only weigh on you in the end.

"That's the right thing to do." Han Xinyuan murmured, "Now that we have credibility, we can't just do nothing, right?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded silently.

The telegram was too short and did not explain the current situation in Yingkou.

However, Jiang and Hu went through chaos, broke through, and established their own business. Now, both inside and outside, outside and outside, the husband and wife not only have a clear understanding of each other, but also have a tacit understanding.

Why don't the sellers there want to cooperate?

Hu Xiaoyan understood Jiang Lianheng's temper, and it was definitely not because of the price.

Business matters cannot be negotiated. Apart from the price, there is only trust.

Shopkeepers Ma and Xie must have won Xiao Laoer's trust, so they flatly refused to cooperate with Jiang Lianheng.

In this way, as long as the trust between the two parties is broken, it seems that the business can be concluded without bloodshed...
