20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 289 It all depends on the world

As the saying goes, there is endless glory in front of people, but there are hardships behind people.

Only by showing one's nobility and suffering one's sins, and being able to bend and stretch, can one develop a career in the world.

Jiang Lianheng poured out his bitter words in front of Miyata Ryuuji, just like a living slave who went back to his master to plead guilty when something went wrong in his work outside. He wished he could step on the dirt and be demoted to nothing.

The Japanese couldn't get a word in at all, they just listened to his eloquent talk.

Yan said that early this morning, he took people to negotiate with Tutai Village. Unexpectedly, the gang of unscrupulous people were full of martial arts and had a lot of guns and ammunition.

Although Jiang Lianheng killed a tenant farmer on the spot, he was outnumbered and had to flee in a hurry.

All in all, the battle was extremely brutal and the situation was extremely dangerous. If it hadn't been for the blessing of the Emperor, his life would have been sealed at the entrance of the village.

After hearing this, Translator Tan looked suspicious, but said: "Mr. Miyata, I have been to Tutai Village twice, and I have never heard that there are guns there?"

Jiang Lianheng glared and cursed: "Nonsense! You are working hard, so of course you can't figure out the details. This morning, there was a lot of commotion in the fierce battle. If you don't believe me, go and scan the area. If you lie, I will follow you. You have the same last name!”

"Okay!" Miyata Ryuji folded the newspaper and said displeasedly, "This matter has been published in the newspaper now. Let's not cause any more trouble for the time being. Let's think of other solutions after the public opinion calms down."

Translator Tan took a sneak peek at Jiang Lianheng's expression changes and found nothing unusual.

Miyata Ryuuji waved his hand and said impatiently: "If there is nothing else, you all can leave."

"Something happened, something happened!" Jiang Lianheng heard this and quickly interjected, "Mr. Miyata, to tell you the truth, something went wrong in my insurance business two days ago, and a batch of goods was lost on your company's railway. , do you think you can help me check the situation?"

Miyata Ryuji's reaction was a little surprised, as if this matter did not originate from his instruction.

However, in order to win over people's hearts, the Japs were still willing to go to the Affairs Department and ask.

After reporting the train number and cargo compartment, upon questioning, the Ministry of Affairs indeed heard that goods had been lost in Liaoyang two days ago, but the Japanese had never cared about the interests of Chinese businessmen, so they just dealt with it hastily.

But for Jiang Lianheng, it was enough to know that this matter was not caused by Miyata Ryuji intentionally.

As long as there are no Japanese involved, he will have his own solution to any problem.

……

……

After returning home, Jiang Lianheng and Hu Xiaoyan made a concerted effort to protect the company's reputation and decided to go to Liaoyang in person to find out the cause of the theft.

After suffering the loss of Yingkou last time, the young couple did not dare to take it lightly anymore. They kissed Liu Yansheng and Zhang Zhengdong as companions, and called Han Xinyuan and five scheming younger brothers to accompany them.

Of course, there is strength in numbers, which also means showing off.

Jiang Lian rummaged through the cabinets and picked out the most expensive piece of clothing, a navy blue silk gown with a stand-up collar, narrow sleeves, a large placket, dark embroidered moire decoration, high-quality pointed-toe cowhide shoes, a Western hat on his head, a large gold ring, Small gold watch.

I usually never tidy up, but today I just stood in front of the mirror for an hour.

It’s human nature, are you going home?

After choosing the outfit and counting the number of people, I sent Bei Feng to the west of the city to buy train tickets for tomorrow morning.

Zhao Zhengbei agreed, but he stayed put and hesitated for a long time before he dared to say, "Brother, will you take me out to see the world?"

Jiang Lian waved his hands and immediately refused: "You have been in a daze all day, so don't cause any trouble for me!"

If it had been anyone else, this sentence would have been thrown into the corner on the spot.

But Zhao Zhengbei always had a sweet mouth. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and said with a playful smile: "Brother is right, I really need to correct this problem. It's just a lack of practice, but there is no chance! I think Liaoyang is Brother Dao, your hometown is definitely familiar with the roads and there will be no mistakes, so I wanted to go with you and see how you talk and do things. If you learn from me, won't you make progress!"

"That's true!" Jiang Lianheng smiled, "The key is, can you look at my eyes and act?"

"Brother, why don't you give me one?"

"piss off!"

"Brother, I beg you, please take me there!" Zhao Zhengbei said softly, "I have a free day."

Jiang Lianheng said nothing, pointed at his wife secretly, and signaled Bei Feng to ask for her sister-in-law.

Zhao Zhengbei understood and hurriedly came to the desk and said the good and soft words again.

Hu Xiaoyan, however, seemed a little absent-minded. She sat at the desk and looked out the window blankly, not sure if she heard anything.

"sister in law?"

Bei Feng called out softly, and Hu Xiaoyan finally came to her senses, but turned her attention to Jiang Lianheng, who was smoking.

"Xiaodao...I kind of want to go there too."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lianheng's fingers were almost burned by a cigarette butt. His eyes widened and he asked, "What did you say?"

Hu Xiaoyan was hesitant and murmured to herself out of the window: "I haven't gone back to see you in ten years." "No!" Jiang Lianheng flatly refused, "This matter is not negotiable! What's your situation? Did you let me go? You go to Yingkou, and you won’t go there for life or death, why are you making such a high profile now?”

"Are you afraid that when you go home, the neighbors will laugh at me and find me embarrassed?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

"Here we go again!" Jiang Lianheng frowned and said, "Who thinks you are embarrassed? You don't even take a look at your situation now. Your belly is like a ball. It's getting bigger day by day. You asked me to calm down. Son, please take a rest!"

Hu Xiaoyan lowered her head and touched her belly: "Yes."

"Besides, if I go there, I might not know when I'll be back. I'll be home for a long time without anyone around. Is that okay?"

"Yes." Hu Xiaoyan nodded silently, but her eyes could not hide the disappointment, "You are right, then I won't go."

The conversation ended and the room fell into silence.

Zhao Zhengbei looked left and right and persuaded: "Brother Dao, I think it's okay for my sister-in-law to go. If I lend him 800 courage in Fengtian, who dares to provoke our family? The business at home is in order. The insurance company's headquarters has also been assigned to 'Woyun Building', and the second and third brothers can take care of the decoration. The local government offices, military and police are all old acquaintances of ours. Moreover, My sister-in-law has been sitting at home every day, so who can know except the family whether she will leave or not?"

Jiang Lianheng snorted coldly: "You said it very lightly. If my son has any shortcomings, will you pay with your life?"

Zhao Zhengbei was speechless for a moment.

Hu Xiaoyan waved her hand and said, "Beifeng, forget it, your brother is right, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

Jiang Lianheng was a soft-hearted person, but when his wife said this, he felt a little soft-hearted.

Hu Xiaoyan added: "Xiaodao, do you know that there is an old man pushing a cart and selling jujube cakes over there at the White Tower?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"When you come back, can you buy me some food?" Hu Xiaoyan whispered, "When I was a kid, I was begging for food there. I could only get a portion of it by looking at it, but not by eating it. I always wanted to try it."

How rare can a mere piece of jujube cake be? You can easily buy it in every pastry shop in Fengtian.

The extravagant hope at that time is now within easy reach, but the once thought has become an obsession.

No matter how rich and wealthy he is, he still can't live up to his childhood wish.

What's more, Hu Xiaoyan is pregnant, and when she is always craving for delicious food, she might think of some weird snack one day.

Jiang Lianheng said he was unforgiving, but in his heart he doted on his wife. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and ordered: "Beifeng, go buy two first-class carriages for me and your sister-in-law. We have no tickets." Just buy the day after tomorrow.”

"Brother Dao, then I..."

"You should follow us too!"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhengbei's face suddenly lit up with joy, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

After finalizing the matter, Hu Xiaoyan hesitated and quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute, if I leave, what will happen to the family?"

"Hey! What do you care about that!" Jiang Lianheng said nonchalantly, "As long as nothing happens to you, our family will be fine! If you are really worried, I will go find Su Wenqi later and let him be okay these days. Come and help."

Hu Xiaoyan still seemed a little hesitant, but it seemed not because of worry, but because of other circumstances.

Seeing her hesitating, Jiang Lianheng took the initiative and asked, "Are you unwilling to take the train?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded.

After all, it was not others who disliked her disability, but herself.

There are so many people at the train station. If they see such a noble lady without legs, they will inevitably get strange looks and comments behind her.

"Then take a carriage!" Jiang Lianheng suggested, "Anyway, Liaoyang is not far from Fengtian. It only takes a day's walk to get there. Didn't we just come here by donkey cart back then?"

Hearing that Hu Xiaoyan was going out, not only Jiang Lianheng was extremely active, but even Zhao Zhengbei also seemed very excited.

Everyone sincerely hopes that she will go out more often, not only to see the world, but also to relax more.

Therefore, Zhang Zhengdong immediately prepared the four-wheeled carriage, and the others prepared various supplies, including guns and ammunition.

Originally, she planned to let Xiaohua go with her, but Hu Xiaoyan was worried that her aunt would be alone at home and had no one to take care of her, so she asked her to stay and take care of the house.

After everything was settled, Jiang Lianheng personally went to Guangyuan Bank and asked Su Wenqi to take care of him during this period. Then he went to the patrol station and asked Captain Zhao, the detective, to take care of the family business. In addition, Still worried, he went to Feng Ji Tailor Shop again and asked Aunt Yuqing to come and sit at home and spend some time with Aunt Xu Ruqing.

Bala worked hard for no other reason than to make Xiaoyan happy.

A thousand pieces of gold and a promise are by no means empty talk.

In the early morning of the next day, when the streets and markets of the provincial capital had just come to their senses, they saw at the south gate of the city, a group of carriages and horses whipping southward. Zhang Zhengdong opened the way in front of his car, and the thugs hugged each other, heading straight for Liaoyang.
