20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 268: Touch the code, Panpandao

Deshun Shabu Shabu Restaurant next to Jiushi Street Pier is not a high-end restaurant, but it is an old shop.

It is said that this store has been open near the pier for at least fifty years.

The front door is quite large, but the decoration inside is a bit old. I don't know if it is deliberately maintaining this dusty sense of vicissitudes, or because the business is not doing well and the wealth is not good.

Shabu-shabu pork in a copper pot is the most old-fashioned way of eating.

There are plenty of tables in the store, but the shopkeeper still set up a shed outside and used the scraps from the shaved mutton to make a large pot of mutton soup and sell it at the door.

If the cargo workers on the dock are hungry, they come here and spend 80 cents on a bowl of soup. Sprinkle the top with chopped green onion and coriander, add a pinch of salt, pour two small spoons of vinegar, and serve it with corn noodles. Flatbreads, steamed buns, and flower rolls. When the weather gets cold, have a bowl of them - oh! Even if this day is not in vain!

Logically speaking, those who eat in the shed are working people.

But in the Deshun Shabu Shabu Shop, there is another strange guest. He is obviously dressed in extraordinary clothes, but he only likes to eat in the shed.

This person was nicknamed "Crooked Mouth Yang".

As the name suggests, he always keeps his mouth open wherever he goes. Whenever he encounters something he doesn't like, he immediately resorts to his mantra - "Isn't this nonsense?"

But no one can tell whether his surname is Yang.

In short, when someone calls him "Lao Yang", he agrees.

With a crooked mouth, the most striking feature besides that mouth is that the braid on the back of his head has never been tied.

However, this is not new. Although it is the Republic of China, there are still many old stubborns.

This man usually wears rich and noble clothes, his hands are covered with gold, silver, jade and jade. He only regrets that his parents did not give him a six-fingered child, so that he misses the opportunity to show his dignity in front of others.

He is generous, but he is a bit picky and nagging. When he is happy, he might even treat everyone to a bowl of wine.

Waizui Yang comes to Deshun Shabu Shabu every ten days and a half.

It was quite a grand occasion, with two followers and a lame sheep.

He ate hot-boiled meat, the clear soup had little water, and the dipping sauce was only chive flowers, mixed with two spoons of clear soup. The meat was only fresh mutton, and he would not eat it if it was not fresh.

When people go to the shabu-shabu shop, they find an empty table in the shed and sit down.

The attendant tied the sheep to a pillar next to it, pricked it with a knife, and took out the meat from the live sheep. It was bleeding and put it on the chopping board. Then he cut the mutton into slices. What he ate was the smell of mutton.

Then, immediately stop the bleeding from the knife wound of the live sheep and save it for next time.

The live sheep was whining next to him. After Waizui Yang had cooked the meat slices, he waved them in front of the live sheep and said with a wicked smile: "Tsk! What, you want some too?"

Eat your own sheep, but still pay according to the price in the store, and no one will complain——

That's the kind of person he is.

Waizui Yang came just before noon today. Different from the past, he brought four followers with him, and it seemed that he was going to compete with others.

The shopkeeper warmly welcomed us and immediately changed us to a big table.

After all, it is rare to see this kind of money-burning resentment, so you have to take good care of it.

As soon as the crooked-mouthed Yang sat down, he ordered: "Shopkeeper, don't do the mutton soup business today. The loss will be mine. Clean it up for me!"

"Hey, good, good!" the shopkeeper laughed repeatedly, "Shunzi, come here, bring back the soup pot outside!"

Waizui Yang sat firmly and set up a tea array opposite the table without pouring the tea. Then he set up a copper pot and ate while waiting.

After about a pack of cigarettes, I saw several young people walking towards me not far away.

Crooked-mouthed Yang was just eating meat, but a follower standing behind him glanced at the brother next to him, then leaned down and reminded in a low voice: "Brother, people are here."

"Come on, come on!" Waizui Yang remained calm and continued to eat the hot-boiled meat.

Across the street, Jiang Lianheng came with Liu Yansheng, Nanfeng and Xifeng and his two younger brothers in a hurry.

Jiang Lianheng took the lead and quickly came closer. He glanced at the tea array on the table and then at Waizui Yang. Seeing that the other party did not say anything, he smiled and asked: "There is no tea in this bowl. What do you want me to do?" How to break the formation?"

Waizuiyang put a piece of mutton in his mouth and said, "It's not broken then!"

Then, he nodded with the tip of his chopsticks and said, "Sit down!"

Jiang Lianheng sat down, and the others stood behind him, staring at his younger brother Ma with wary expressions.

Waizui Yang put down his chopsticks, and the attendant behind him immediately handed over a handkerchief.

After wiping his mouth, Waizui Yang clasped his hands on the edge of the table, got straight to the point, and asked directly: "How much can you buy?"

Jiang Lian leaned back, crossed his legs, crossed his arms, and said, "I want to see Xiao Laoer."

"Haha!" Waizui Yang sneered, "Brother, are you here to discuss business, or are you here to meet your wife? You pay and I give the medicine. It's just such a simple matter. How can there be so much nonsense?"

Jiang Lianheng was indifferent and reiterated: "I want to see Xiao Laoer."

"You can't see it."

"I can't see you?"

"I can't see you!" Crooked Yang asked the attendant behind him and asked for a toothpick. While picking his teeth, the ring on his hand jangled, "Do you want to talk about business or not? If not, get out of here. We don't have time." Take care of you."

Jiang Lianheng repeated again: "I want to see Xiao Laoer."

This time, the crooked Yang was so happy that even the followers behind him were holding back their laughter.

"Brother, don't be so arrogant, it's useless!" Weizui Yang said with a smile, "I know you, the son of Fengtian's Hai Lao Owl, Jiang Lianheng! You have some ability, for example: to catch a fish in troubled waters, to pick up a leak in the chaos. , playing a cheap game and killing this old woman, isn’t it all your doing! Hahahahahaha!”

After saying this, all the followers behind him burst into laughter.

Li Zhengxi was fierce and impatient. He couldn't bear this breath. He immediately took out his pistol and yelled: "Fuck you, I'm laughing at you!"

As soon as he pulled out his gun, the followers behind Waizui Yang immediately responded with their guns, and even Wang Zhengnan, Liu Yansheng and others had to show their weapons one after another.

"Snapped!"

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper of Deshun Shabu Shabu Restaurant immediately closed the door of his shop. Upon seeing this, the nearby dock workers also hurriedly dodge.

Finally, it was the leaders of both sides who raised their hands and ordered their subordinates to calm down, and the situation gradually stabilized.

A hint of displeasure clearly flashed across Wizui Yang's face.

"Brother, I advise you to restrain yourself. I don't care what happens to you in Fengtian. It's your ground, but this is Yingkou. If you really want to break up, it won't be good for you. Be careful and there will be no return."

Jiang Lianheng leaned forward, put his elbows on the table, and said with an indifferent smile: "I want to see Xiao Laoer. Of course, he may not be called Xiao Laoer at all. Why should he call me?" I don’t care, I want to see him anyway.”

"Haha, brother, you really treat yourself like a piece of cake!" Crooked Mouth Yang sneered and shook his head, "Okay, then let's stop talking and go see whoever you like! Brothers, let's go !" The real competition started from the moment they met.

To touch the code, the status and status must correspond to each other.

The leader of the family does not have to say a word about business with the second-in-command of the opponent. That is equivalent to lowering himself to a lower level, and touching the code will turn into worshiping the code, which has a completely different meaning.

The crooked Yang put down these words and immediately stood up and left.

Jiang Lianheng was not in a hurry, and actually stood up and said, "Okay! If Xiao Laoer doesn't see me, then I'll go to Dalian and talk to Fifth Master Rong directly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was a little confused, except for the crooked Yang Yang who suddenly sat down again.

After staring at Jiang Lianheng for a long time, Yang Fang smiled with interest and said, "Okay, have you found the source of the goods?"

Jiang Lianheng said nothing.

The crooked Yang shook his head and mocked: "It's useless even if you find the source of the goods. Mr. Rong Wu can't tell you. Without my guarantee for you, you can't get a single pill in Dalian." .”

"Who said I was going to get medicine?" Jiang Lian said with a smile, "I just wanted to go over and chat with Mr. Rong Wu about Qiao Qimin!"

Crooked Mouth Yang laughed loudly: "Hahaha, brother, I think you are crazy! You killed Qiao Laoer yourself, and then went to report to Master Rong. Do you think you have a long life or something?"

"It's true that I did the shoveling, Mr. Qiao, but I am a foreigner. How can I do this job without the help of a 'noble man'? Even if Mr. Qiao is an idler and doesn't understand the world, he is still a member of a famous family who has been here for a hundred years. It was such a strange death, but it has only been a few days, and it’s as if nothing happened. I don’t believe it if no one helps me deal with the aftermath.”

"What's the matter? According to you, do you think I want to kill Qiao Lao Er? What am I trying to do? Isn't this nonsense!"

No one would join forces with outsiders to deal with locals without any reason, unless there is something to be gained from it.

"Yes or no, haven't you figured it out in your own mind?" Jiang Lianheng said, "Killing Qiao Laoer, Hongwan in Yingkou, and leaving your family alone, isn't it enough?"

"What a joke!" Waizui Yang curled his lips and said with disdain, "Who is Mr. Qiao? If I really want to touch him, do I need to rely on you? Your kid can shovel it after coming to Yingkou for a month. I can’t shovel out the fallen stuff?”

Wang Zhengnan, Li Zhengxi and others looked at each other.

Indeed, according to the previous speculation, it is a bit unreasonable when it comes to this point.

Master Qiao was eliminated so easily. If he was really a competitor, there was no reason for Xiao Laoer to wait until now.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your government.

Depending on where a person is, different perspectives and considerations will naturally arise.

Jiang Lianheng said with great certainty: "You can't shovel it, or you dare not shovel it. The real source of goods is in Dalian. The leading brother opened a port and opened a line in Yingkou, supported candidates, and opened a business here, but he was afraid of a family Being alone makes it difficult to control, so we divide it into two families to balance the constraints. If you dare to touch Qiao Lao Er, you are rebelling, and the punishment will be light. "

The interrogation that night was not in vain.

When Jiang Lianheng learned from Qiao Laoer's daughter-in-law that all the goods came from Dalian and were picked up by a man named Rong Wuye, he had a vague suspicion.

Although Mrs. Qiao didn't know the whole story of the business, she typed out a few key pieces of information piecemeal and linked them together. They both held the position of head of the family. It was not difficult for Jiang Lianheng to deduce the relationship between Qiao Laoer and Xiao Laoer.

Moreover, if Mr. Qiao doesn't travel around the world, how can he negotiate so much business?

There is only one possibility, that is, his business was given to him after someone else negotiated it.

Why give it to him?

There are two possibilities: either he intentionally supports one party and suppresses the other; or the eldest brother strictly controls the younger brother's horse to develop and go offline at will.

If Laobaozi wants to control his disciples, he must have many informants around him. Xiao Laoer must be well aware of this, so he can only secretly stalk the low-level confidants, secretly instigate, provoke, and cooperate with Jiang. Lian Heng eradicated Mr. Qiao.

"Haha, what this guy said is quite interesting!" Waizui Yang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Even if what you said is true, why should we save you? Wouldn't it be better to just let you take the blame? ?”

"I'm afraid that things will get serious and the news will leak out!" Jiang Lianheng sneered, "Brother, you don't really think that I picked up this position, right?"

This was indeed not Fengtian, but even in Yingkou, Jiang Lianheng would not have to lie down and wait for death.

Using money in officialdom to cover up Jiang Lianheng and others and open the door to convenience is to make the death of Second Master Qiao unexplained. Otherwise, if things get serious, Fifth Master Rong will be aware of it.

Of course, even in this situation, Master Rong Wu would definitely suspect Xiao Laoer.

But to catch a thief, you need to catch stolen goods, and to catch an adulterer, you need to catch both. Without enough evidence, no big brother will tamper with his subordinates.

Jiang Lianheng continued: "Besides, whether it is Dalian or Yingkou, if your medicine wants to go north, unless you hire donkeys and carts to pull the goods, you can only go through Fengtian. It really offends me and is not good for you." . In Yingkou, you can look down on me, there is nothing wrong with your ground; but if you are in Fengtian - you can give it a try."

The corners of Yang Zui's mouth twitched and became even more crooked.

At a young age, Jiang Lianheng took over Zhou Yunfu's position, made good friends with the Su family, and successfully completed the transition. Merchants big and small in Fengtian were very happy.

how?

Because no matter what, order is better than no order. At least you know who to look for on the ground if something goes wrong.

Once they fall into disputes again, each shop will be assigned to this company's territory today, and to that company's territory tomorrow, and they will fight back and forth. In the end, it is the shopkeepers who are unlucky.

Crooked Yang's eyes became stern, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, as the old saying goes, the wise man is the one who sees through things without telling them."

Jiang Lianheng asked back: "If I don't tell you, will Xiao Laoer be willing to show up?"

“If you talk too much, you may be silenced!”

"If you plan to never get a good night's sleep for the rest of your life, then do it."

"Threaten me?" Waizui Yang asked, "Do you think I dare not?"

"I didn't say you didn't dare." Jiang Lianheng put down his legs, "I just advise you to make your move accurately and don't waste this great opportunity."

"Fuck! You are so crazy!"

Waizui Yang cursed angrily and reached out to touch his heart, but his speed was too slow compared to Jiang Lianheng who was trained by the "Owl" brothers.

He pulled out the gun and just raised his head, the muzzle of Jiang Lianheng's gun had already hit Wizui Yang's forehead.

Subsequently, the brothers and horses brought by both sides drew their guns and faced off almost simultaneously.

Jiang Lianheng stood, raised his pistol for a while, grinned suddenly, and then pointed the gun at the tea array on the table, "bang bang bang" several times, and saw the tea bowls all over the table crackling. Jumping and breaking into pieces.

"I want to see Xiao Laoer." Jiang Lianheng said.

Waizuiyang was so angry that he was shaking all over. Just when he was about to explode, his shoulders suddenly sank, and he saw a "younger brother" behind him, raising his hand towards him.

Waizui Yang quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

The "younger brother Ma" calmly walked around to his seat, with a slight smile on his face, and saluted Jiang Lian with a raised fist.

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, Young Master Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
