20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 316 Return

At dawn, a lone sparrow flew past the door of the patrol station building. After hovering in the air for a while, it finally landed on the treetops beside the road.

Just as he stopped, before he could take a breath, the sparrow suddenly squatted down again and turned to look at the side door of the patrol station.

"Pullingleng——"

The sparrow suddenly flew away, and then the door opened.

Inside the door was deep and dark, and a young man wearing a long gown walked out slowly.

He had a shiny slicked-back hair, and his outfit was brand new and straight from head to toe, as if he had just walked out of a tailor shop. Apart from his dark complexion, it was hard to make anyone think that he had been working as a trainee in a train station. Loaders.

Before daylight, he walked out of the patrol station, stood at the door and looked around, took a deep breath of moist air, then took out a pack of old knives from his trouser pocket and knocked out a cigarette.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, someone immediately struck a match behind him and lit a cigarette.

The cigarette butt tilted his head, holding the flame with both hands, lit the cigarette, patted the other person's hand, and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, thank you!"

Captain Chen flicked the matchstick away and waved his hand quickly, "Don't be so polite, Mr. Suo, if you have such a relationship, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"Aren't I afraid of causing trouble to you?" The butt of the cigarette blew out a puff of smoke.

"Hey! What's the trouble? Besides, you're not a member of the Double Dragon Society to begin with!"

"Don't mention this matter." The cigarette butt immediately interrupted, "Captain Chen, was this order given to you by the General Administration?"

Captain Chen smiled and said: "Actually, there's no order, just asking me to help take care of him, saying that I can't afford to offend Boss Jiang, and we are also eager to solve the case, so we just cooperate with them. "

"I know." The cigarette butt nodded, "Thank you very much, Captain Chen."

"No, no, you're welcome." Captain Chen said with a smile, "But I just don't understand. Why do you have to do this?"

The cigarette butt slowly walked down the steps, turned around and said: "Captain Chen, if you don't understand, don't understand. Without further ado, I'll take my leave."

"Okay, okay, come here often when you have time - uh, no - drink tea together when you have time!"

Captain Chen followed closely behind him and walked out for a few steps. When the butt of the cigarette moved away, he turned around with a murmur. Let’s have fun with Shuangyonghui!”

……

……

The morning light was warm, and in the Qingming Tea House at the intersection, young and old men were still discussing the case of the collapse of the Double Dragon Society with great interest.

As the saying goes, rumors in the world become more and more mysterious as they spread.

It had only been six or seven days since the incident, but the original story had already changed beyond recognition due to word of mouth.

Many people even believe that the famous "black under the lamp" is not Wen Tingge, but Li Hailong of Taihe Gambling.

What makes people feel even more absurd is that the Double Dragon Society used to bully the market and bully the weak. Now, not long after its collapse, it has become a capable man among many people because of stealing official silver.

They talked as if they had also received money, with some pride in being fellow villagers.

All these rumors are dismissed by insiders, but firmly believed by outsiders.

Everyone says his own thing, and the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.

In the corner of the teahouse, Liu Yansheng and Wen Tingge sat opposite each other, turning a deaf ear to the noise around them.

Liu Yansheng took out a banknote from his arms, covered it on the table, and pushed it to the opposite side.

"Brother Wen, thank you for your tip on the Double Dragon Club. This is the money I got from Pan Di Laizi."

Wen Tingge lowered his head and looked at the banknote, a little embarrassed, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no had role had to be had had role had had been had that role had been that role that I that I had taken. I deserve it, this is what I deserve!"

He originally thought that since Jiang Lianheng said he wanted to cooperate, he would delegate important tasks.

As a result, he failed to appear in Jiang Lianheng's core plan from beginning to end.

He was not allowed to participate in contacting the military camp, nor was he allowed to participate in contacting the patrol police, nor was he allowed to participate in going up the mountain to ask for directions.

Except for providing Jiang Lianheng with information about the Double Dragon Society, all important actions, with or without him, were innocuous.

Now that he has to divide the money again, even Wen Tingge himself feels a bit unjustifiable.

Liu Yan persuaded with a smile: "Since Brother Dao has promised you, just take it!"

Wen Tingge waved his hand, but said: "Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish. I am alone, living outside the customs, and want to find a family. Instead of giving me money, you might as well give me a chance to help me." Brother works."

"This..." Liu Yansheng looked confused.

Although he and Wen Tingge were very close to each other, Jiang Lianheng did not seem to show any intention to win over Wen Tingge.

After thinking about it, he suggested: "Brother Wen, Brother Dao and the others are leaving today. If you really have this intention, why not come with me now and ask in person?"

"That's good!" Wen Tingge stood up quickly after hearing this.

The two left the teahouse and walked quickly towards the boundary of Nancheng. When they arrived at the door of Jiang's house, they found that the carriage was ready, and Zhang Zhengdong, Zhao Zhengbei and others were busy giving water and food to the horses.

Yuan Xinfa's family of three also carried large and small bundles on their backs, waiting to go to Fengtian with everyone, hoping that there would be a good life there.

Aunt Yuan helped with the work inside and outside. While giving instructions, she did not forget her own little thoughts. Taking advantage of the few people, she pulled Yuan Xinfa aside and said with a smile: "When we get to Fengtian, if we do well, Remember to send a message to Auntie!"

Zhao Zhengbei listened and joked next to him: "What, Aunt Yuan, you also want to go to Fengtian? Brother Dao's 'Huifangli' is still recruiting people, why don't you go and give it a try?"

When Aunt Yuan heard this, she immediately became enthusiastic and asked, "What does this 'Huifangli' do? How much does it cost per month?"

Zhao Zhengbei smiled and said: "That depends on your old skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scolding sound came from the carriage, "Beifeng, don't be too big or too small!"

Zhao Zhengbei shrugged his shoulders and looked back at the carriage. Unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of Liu Yansheng and Wen Tingge out of the corner of his eye.

"Beifeng, where is Brother Dao?" Liu Yansheng asked as he walked.

"Yansheng, I was just looking for you! How's the deal going with that shop in the west of the city? If it doesn't work, just give it a try, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Jiang Lianheng came out of the room in response, looked around, and was somewhat surprised to see Wen Tingge following him.

Liu Yansheng took a step forward and said, "Brother Dao, we have already negotiated for that shop and it will be moved out at the end of the month."

Jiang Lianheng nodded, looked at Wen Tingge, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother, have you finished counting the money?"

Wen Tingge quickly took out the banknote from his arms and said, "Brother Dao, you'd better take this banknote back!"

"What do you mean, it's too little?"

Liu Yansheng helped explain: "Brother, what Brother Wen means is that he hopes to take this opportunity to hang out with us in the future."

Jiang Lianheng frowned and looked at Wen Tingge with some curiosity, "Brother, you have skills and you are a tall man, why do you have to hang out with me?"

Wen Tingge replied: "A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest. In today's world, if you want to live online, you must have a family."

After finishing speaking, there was suddenly a faint coughing sound in the carriage.

Jiang Lian glanced at the carriage and said: "Brother, although we are half the same people, I don't want to be a part of the Rong family now, and I don't want to be the leader of the culprit. If you follow me, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything. .”

Wen Tingge said: "Brother Dao, although I do 'high buying', I don't just do one thing. I have also practiced the tricks of Guazi Xing for a few days. If you don't dislike it, Wen is willing to help the Jiang family."

In the world of martial arts, it is easy to meet and be a thug, but if you want to step into the "family" and become a pillar in the family, how can you gain the trust of the boss just by talking?

At present, the only people who can enter the Jiang family to discuss matters are Si Fengkou, Zhao Guoyan, Han Xinyuan, Zhong Yushan and a few others.

These people were all Jiang Lianheng's right-hand men who had been with him before he started his family.

Being able to enter a house, or even be in charge of a business on their own, is a status they earned with their lives and with swords and guns.

Wen Tingge is different from these people. He has his own name in the world, and he will definitely not be willing to start as a younger brother.

If the status given to him is too high, the rewards and punishments are unclear, and it is difficult to convince the public; if the status given to him is too low, it seems arrogant and contemptuous.

Therefore, it is better not to mention this issue at all, settle the accounts clearly, get to know each other, and meet again in the world.

The most important thing is that Wen Tingge's appearance was too sudden, and Jiang Lianheng knew very little about him and found it difficult to devote himself to him.

But at the same time, as the Jiang family's business gradually expanded, Jiang and Hu really felt that there was a shortage of manpower that could be reused.

While he was hesitating, Wen Tingge suddenly spoke and lowered himself.

"Brother Dao, we outside the customs often say that once you break through Guandong and pass Shanhaiguan, no one can mention how rich your ancestors are. When you enter the white mountains and black waters, you can stand shoulder to shoulder and do great things! Although I have gained a little reputation online. , but as long as Brother Dao is willing to take him in, Wen is willing to start from scratch!"

Jiang Lianheng thought for a while and agreed: "If you don't mind, just stay here and help Yan Sheng to dry up the semicolon first."

Wen Tingge was very excited and thanked him repeatedly. Then he looked around and asked, "Is there any tea?"

"No need to do that!" Jiang Lian waved his hand and said, "Please wait until you arrive in Fengtian to worship again!"

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.

After drinking tea, everyone was ready to go. Jiang Lianheng briefly explained a few words to Liu Yansheng, and then set off back to Fengtian.

A bunch of bells rang and the carriage set off on the road.

Jiang Lianheng and Hu Xiaoyan sat in the car to point out the direction, and deliberately took a long detour, stopping and looking at several familiar places from their childhood.

Changfeng Escort Bureau, Mrs. Feng’s hotel, Aunt Zhao’s courtyard...

In the vicissitudes of life, all the unbearable memories have been completely wiped out. Except for a rough location, there is no physical object to prove the experience of that year.

Passing through the market, on the official road outside the north gate of the old city, the carriages gradually went further and further away. The figures of Jiang Lianheng and others also became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from the field of vision like a speck of dust...
