20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 385 Luda·Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha
When Su Tai left the cafe, the drizzle outside the window had not stopped.

He walked quickly along the alley in the rain for a while, and then returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau building in the southeast corner of the square as usual.

At dusk and evening, the clouds clear the sky.

Chuang Hu rushed over from the hotel and checked in with Jiang Lian. Office staff also left the building one after another, walking slowly down the stone steps at the door in small groups.

Su Tai had a long and slender braid that stood out among the crowd, and it was difficult not to notice it.

When the Republic of China was newly established, it was difficult to cut the braids.

The President has been forcing people to cut their braids for four years, and some people still have braids. But it is really rare for people to have braids and still work in the public office.

However, Kanto Prefecture is a "state within a state". When Xiao Dongyang employs people, he only needs to be obedient, regardless of whether he has pigtails or not.

Jiang Lian hugged Chuang Hu and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then he turned around and crossed only one street back to the Yamato Hotel on the south side of the square.

……

It was half past five in the afternoon, and the foreign band had not yet arrived. The restaurant was a little deserted, and there was a slight echo when talking to each other, as if there was nothing there.

Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan sat opposite each other, eating dinner and talking about the news from Fengtian.

The CCP's arms were intercepted, which can be said to affect the whole body.

Based on the news he heard in the port warehouse, Jiang Lianheng speculated that the Zongshe Party's original idea was to rely on the Mongolian cavalry and recruited Hu bandits to attack Fengtian from the north and south respectively and restore the Qing Dynasty.

However, due to the theft of arms to support the Mongolian bandits and Zhang Laogao's rise in officialdom, the planned plan of "King Qin's restoration of the country" was postponed.

Here in Dalian, the "Qinwang Army" disguised as port porters were already ready to go, but they were "inexplicably" delayed.

All these chain reactions have far exceeded Jiang Lianheng's expectations.

Such military and national events may seem out of reach, but they exist in the smallest detail.

"Brother Dao, you have really done a great job this time!" Zhao Guoyan tapped his fingers on the table and whispered, "Forty-seven carts of munitions, even it out, it's almost enough to equip a brigade!"

Jiang Lianheng nodded: "It's almost the same. It's mainly Lao Zhang's troops. Many of them are understaffed and their foundation is too poor."

Zhao Guoyan paused and asked, "Brother, are you a little too calm?"

"What can I do if I'm not calm, just use two strings of whips?" Jiang Lianheng asked, "I'm here to tie Rong Wu, and everything else is the icing on the cake."

"That's true! However, with this contribution, we will be able to stand more firmly in Fengtian in the future!"

"Not necessarily!" Jiang Lianheng curled his lips and said, "After all, I didn't tell Lao Zhang this news in person. A few hands were passed on in the meantime. Even if he has some credit, it won't be attributed to our family."

The information was indeed obtained by Jiang Lianheng accidentally, but he was not sure whether he was the only one who knew the information; even if he was the only one who knew it, as long as it comes from someone else's mouth, it becomes someone else's, and nothing can be said about it afterwards. If you ask for credit, you will be annoying.

Everyone understands the truth!

But no matter who the problem is, everyone feels aggrieved.

Zhao Guoyan sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Alas! What a pity!"

"It's a pity that the devil, the King of Hell, is all a backer." Jiang Lianheng felt that it didn't matter, "It's over, just let it go. If I just grind all day long and this is all, then I don't have to do anything else."

Zhao Guoyan was silent.

He knew that what Jiang Lianheng said was reasonable and that things in the world were just like that, but after thinking about it - damn, he still felt aggrieved!
"By the way, what's going on with Li Zheng?" Jiang Lianheng asked suddenly.

After leaving the arms warehouse that day, he arranged for winter melon and bean curd to stay near the port to keep abreast of the movements of Li Zheng and others.

Zhao Guoyan came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "I went to look for them in the afternoon. The Zongshe Party's batch of arms was intercepted. The port was restored to its original state. There was no movement. The officers who were originally transferred also came in one after another. Evacuate, but Li Zheng and the others no longer want to stay, and they said——"

"You want me to settle the benefits for them?" Jiang Lianheng interrupted.

"Yes!" Zhao Guoyan nodded and asked curiously, "Brother, how much money did you promise to give them?"

"Quite a few!" Jiang Lianheng said vaguely.

When Zhao Guoyan heard this, he immediately didn't dare to ask - Brother Dao has always spent money lavishly. If even he thought it was a lot, it must be a huge sum of money.

However, when Li Zheng agreed to bring people over, it was not for money at first, or not purely for money. Jiang Lianheng agreed to help him fight for the "big cabinet" on the mountain, and the other gangsters followed. It was also because the Zongshe Party promised them high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Who would have thought that when the Hu bandits arrived in Dalian, the Clan Socialist Party would disguise them as port porters in order to deceive others.

The battle has not been fought for a day! Life is a day of decline!
High-ranking officials and generous salaries are beyond reach.

The brothers were distraught and wanted to run away. In order to get the latest trends of the Clan Society Party, Jiang Lianheng agreed to provide money and guns as an appeasement.

But the gangsters are gangsters after all, not laborers. People who rob homes and homes can never keep their peace. Now they start to have the urge to escape back to the mountains.

Jiang Lianheng smiled when he heard this, but said: "Later, let your two brats tell Erlu and the others that our business will be opened immediately so that they don't have to endure it. What Li Zheng said - you ask He won’t go to the kiln.”

"Smash the kiln?" Zhao Guoyan was stunned for a moment, "Brother Dao, have you found Mr. Rong Wu?" Jiang Lianheng nodded: "Happy! This afternoon, I was in the cafe and heard that Su Tai said, Mr. Rong Wu I’m going to Lushun in the next two days.”

"Then what about the money you promised to give Erlu and the others?" Zhao Guoyan reminded, "Those beards are like ghosts all day long. If they can't get the money, they will definitely not leave. Don't come back to mess up the situation for us."

"Money-"

Jiang Lianheng was halfway through his words when he was suddenly startled when he saw three Japanese officers suddenly walking down the stairs outside the restaurant.

Seeing this, Zhao Guoyan quickly turned around and looked over.

The two of them had been staying at the Yamato Hotel for a few days, and they often came and went. They were familiar with each other, so they naturally had a deep impression on these three Japanese officers.

When these three little Dongyangs first came to the hotel, they were confident and high-spirited, and seemed to be planning to do something big and earth-shaking. But today, their faces look more gloomy and solemn, and their knee-high military boots click. On the marble tiles, there is a hint of haste.

The Japanese colonel walked at the front, looking even more anxious and angry, and kept scolding his followers in Japanese dialect.

From the day he saw them, Jiang Lianheng suspected that they were the commanders of the Zongshe Party's "King Qin Army". However, he had limited knowledge and could not understand what they were talking about, so it was inconvenient for him to make rash judgments.

At this time, Jiang Lianheng suddenly remembered the long-lost poet Zhang Da.

Although Brother Zhang's poems are not very good, it is not an ordinary person for a twenty-year-old man to be able to help Maozi build the railway and teach himself Russian at the same time.

"I don't have to worry about so many arts!" Jiang Lian sighed, "I wish I could understand Japanese."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow suddenly flashed beside the dining table.

"What they said was that they were going to Port Arthur."

Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan were startled when they heard the sound. They tilted their heads and took a quick look. It was Kang Zheng, a waiter wearing a white shirt and black tie!
"Hey! Brother, can you still understand Japanese?" Zhao Guoyan said in surprise.

Now that Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing were "Lian Qi", Kang Zheng in front of them could be considered half of their own.

"Isn't this normal? If I don't know some Japanese, how can I be a waiter at the Yamato Hotel?" Kang Zheng put the food on the tray on the table and said softly, "Times have changed. Those who run online must keep pace with the times!”

There is really nothing wrong with this!

The level of education of the old liar who eats Ge Nian determines the upper limit of his business.

If you are uneducated, you can at most just deceive the stupid aunt at the head of the village, and get married with three melons and two dates, which is not interesting. You have to have a neat little parted hair, wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and open your mouth. Si, shut up Brick Man, only then can you win the lady's heart and turn the fire.

A golden fortune teller must also be familiar with the "Book of Changes" and "The Burial Classic"!

If you have something in your stomach, you won’t suffer any loss wherever you go!

Of course, Kang Zheng's Oriental dialect is far from proficient, but if he can speak a few words in everyday conversation, guess what, he can't stop him at all!
However, he didn't come specifically to act as an interpreter for the two of them, but took advantage of the time of serving food to convey a message to the shopkeeper Xue Yingqing.

"I don't want to come to Dalian anymore. I'm going to Lushun instead. The shopkeeper asked me to tell you, in case you didn't hear me clearly at the coffee shop in the afternoon."

Jiang Lianheng responded, but said: "Brother, please help me tell your shopkeeper that I really wished I was deaf at that time!"

Zhao Guoyan asked blankly: "Brother Dao, what happened this afternoon?"

"Don't mention it! I'm so embarrassed!"

Kang Zheng had a rough guess in his mind, smiled and said, "It's good to know. Do you two need anything else?"

Jiang Lianheng looked around, then lowered his voice and asked: "I want to ask, after you win the game, do you still want those bad ideas?"

The question was asked by Cai Yunsheng.

Kang Zheng frowned and asked: "The situation is over, why do you still need ideas?"

"Then leave him to me!" Jiang Lianheng said with a smile, "Scrape the oil and water again."

Kang Zheng was a little surprised, wondering if he was going to do "Tongtianlan"?
The so-called "blue sky" means that the idea is deceived and nothing is left. The combined characters on the line are usually not willing to do this.

It’s not that their conscience is still intact, but that “the sky is blue” means that they want to deceive the idea into ruin and drive them to death.

The rabbit is in a hurry and even bites!

If a person becomes desperate, he will either commit suicide or kill someone!
Because of this, most of the combined characters on the line will be closed as soon as they are good. Unless there is a grudge, it will not be less than "Tongtianlan".

Jiang Lianheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm here to take advantage of the situation. If I don't do what you do, I just want to give you a favor."

When Zhao Guoyan heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Lianheng had already forgotten about it. Brick looked at the revolving door of Yamato Hotel and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Hiss! They are also going to Lushun..."
