20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 392 Luda·Rong Wuye, a native of Laoshan

Lushunkou is surrounded by two seas and one mountain.

The train is about to arrive at the station. The journey is very short. The cushion under my butt is just warm, and I am about to get off.

The first-class carriage was luxuriously decorated. Jiang Lian held up a small palm-sized mirror in his hand, frowned, glared, and curled his lips at the person in the mirror. He looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed and lowered the mirror again.

"Is this me?"

"this is you!"

Xue Yingqing snatched the small mirror and stuffed it into his light blue handbag, and then quickly slapped the back of Jiang Lianheng's hand twice: "Stop messing around, I'll fix it later!"

Jiang Lianheng was still awkward.

The eyebrows are thickened, and although the face is still the same, the feeling has completely changed.

From a bully with a sinister look on his face to a foolish and wise man, he is like a plucked chicken, with his head and brain drooping, and he can no longer stand up.

The train entered the platform, and the two of them walked out of the carriage one after another and came to the small square in front of the station.

Not far away, Zhao Guoyan and Xiao Gu came over quickly.

As the first ones to step on the plate, the two of them, together with several brothers such as Chuang Hu and Li Leng, had already arrived in Lushun in advance to investigate the situation and set up sentries near the meeting place.

Like Yingkou, Lushun is also divided into old and new city streets, with Longhe as the boundary, the old city district in the east and the new city district in the west.

The meeting place was a double-storey bungalow at No. 18 Oshima-cho, the old city street.

"The place is on a hillside. It's quite secluded. There are not many neighbors." Zhao Guoyan said, "There are many bodyguards guarding the hospital, but I didn't see anyone from the Oriental Military Police. They were just a bunch of gangsters and thugs. Son!"

Xiao Gu added from the side: "In the morning, there were two groups of people coming and going, some with braids and some without braids."

Jiang Lianheng nodded, looked at the time, half past twelve, and asked, "How long does it take from here to there?"

Xiao Gu said: "If we take a carriage, half an hour is enough."

"Then let's find a place to rest for a while!" Jiang Lian said to Xue Yingqing, "Li Zheng and the others won't arrive until an hour later!"

While he was talking, a two-wheeled open carriage came towards him.

The person who came here by renting a car was a knife-edge guy. Jiang Lianheng always felt that he was a bit gloomy, talkative, and difficult to get along with.

Xue Yingqing jumped onto the carriage, blocked the sunlight on his face with his hands, and said, "Nonsense! Are you still standing here waiting for three hours?"

Jiang Lian curled his lips, turned around and said, "Guo Yan, you two are waiting for Li Zheng and the others here. Let's meet again before leaving in the afternoon!"

……

The carriage wandered around the old market streets for a long time, and finally found a small new-style hotel.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Lianheng and others had lunch. When Li Zheng rushed over, they gathered in the guest room to discuss plans.

"I just took a look at the Xiang Kiln -" Li Zheng crossed his legs on the chair, "It's not difficult to smash! If it's midnight and you move a little more slowly, you can run up the hill to the north and enter the forest. That would be easy. But it’s a pity that it will be difficult to run forward without a horse.”

"Lushunkou is a military port, and it is unrealistic to take the water route." Zhao Guoyan responded, "Unless there is no noise when smashing the kiln, if there is no noise, we will have more time."

Xiao Gu frowned after hearing this and said quickly: "Wait a minute! We agreed in advance that our shopkeeper will only help you step in and smash the kiln!"

"Do you guys want to bring gold bars in?" Li Zheng leaned forward and leaned forward.

Xiao Gu was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

Li Zheng grinned and said: "I don't do the dirty work, but if your shopkeeper brings gold bars in, the gold bars will belong to Rong Wu. If I lead my brothers to smash the kiln, and you don't contribute, the gold bars will belong to me. "

"You!" Xiao Gu's face looked a little ugly.

At this time, a nasally voice suddenly came from the corner of the guest room.

"Try moving."

This was the first sentence Toudaozi said. It was deep and emotionless.

Li Zhengxun looked over and saw Tou Daozi sitting on a chair. He didn't look at him. He just stared at the window sill.

"Now that you tell me, I want to try it."

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Jiang Lianheng frowned and quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, it's already here, so stop jabbering. I have no intention of taking all the gold bars with me. Shopkeeper Xue Fei I don’t dare to use such a hard-earned harvest for fishing.”

"Who are you burying?" Xue Yingqing glared and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Rong with you. I've put myself in custody and I can't bear to give up the money? If I really lose it, you can compensate me again!"

"Then let's avoid it!" Jiang Lianheng said, "If I bring all the gold bars, if this opportunity is not good, there will be no reason to meet again."

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

After all, today is different from the past. Master Rong Wu needs real money more than ever.

However, Li Zheng only cares about one thing - can this kiln be completed?

It's easy to smash the kiln but hard to escape!
Zhao Guoyan frowned and said thoughtfully: "If you want to have enough time to escape, you can't make too much noise, but the bodyguards there are noisy. If we really get into trouble, it's not up to us."

"Kidnap the money!"

Jiang Lianheng suddenly suggested: "If there is a suitable opportunity today, I will take Master Rong Wu as a hostage. When you hear the noise, immediately meet me outside. Li Zheng will go in to get the money when the time comes, and then Exit together, run separately, and find a place to meet again. No one wants to be a tiger. This is the enemy's territory. When you enter the kiln, cover your face. "

"What about our shopkeeper?" the little consultant asked hurriedly.

Tou Daozi also looked this way.

"What a big deal, my aunt is only playing with her heartbeat!" Xue Yingqing smiled sweetly at Jiang Lian, "When you are about to take action, just give me a look in advance, and I will just use it as an excuse to go out."

Xue Yingqing seemed to have really put himself into the game.

Whether it’s worth it or not, I don’t care for the moment.

However, Liu Yuqing's assessment that this little junior sister was "used to being wild" has now been confirmed.

Jiang Lianheng smiled: "I just have an idea first. If there is no suitable opportunity today, we can discuss it in the evening after we touch the code."

Seeing that the appointed time was almost here, Li Zheng should take the lead and set up an ambush at No. 18 Oshima Town.

Before leaving, Zhao Guoyan began to distribute grenades to everyone just in case.

"Brother Dao, do you need to bring one with you?"

Jiang Lianheng responded and took a grenade from the rattan box, weighed it twice, and muttered, "I want to take it with me. Where can I hide it?"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Xue Yingqing beside him, looked up and down a few times, and suddenly grinned, as if he had a good idea!

Before he could speak, Xue Yingqing's face was filled with anger and his eyes were full of anger. He raised his hand and slapped him.

"Dirty!"

……

……

Lushun has one mountain and two seas. Even in the urban area, there are undulating hillsides everywhere.

The streets are full of Oriental shops.

The Oriental woman in kimono looks exquisite and elegant; the old Chinese woman in ragged clothes is struggling to survive.

The posture of the winner can be seen everywhere; the dejection of the loser is shocking.

The sun was shining brightly, and Tou Daozi drove the open carriage into the streets of Oshima Town with a whip. Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing were sitting on the seats. Zhao Guoyan, Xiao Gu, Li Leng and Leng Leng were respectively at the front and rear corners of the carriage, trotting along with them, acting as bodyguards.

Passing through the downtown area and approaching No. 18 Oshimacho, the buildings on both sides began to become sparse.

The double-storey bungalows in Qingyishui'er are not close to each other and are not densely packed together. They seem to have reached the wealthy area of ​​​​the old city street.

From then on, a few familiar figures appeared on the street one after another, including Li Zheng, Chuang Hu, Sai Donggua, fermented bean curd...

They disguised themselves as pedestrians and tourists, coming from all directions like a group of peaks returning to their nest, and approached No. 18 Oshima Town as if nothing had happened.

As he walked, Jiang Lianheng frowned and suddenly leaned down from his seat.

On a gentle slope not far away, there is a black car parked at the entrance of the courtyard of a reddish-brown double-story house!

"Brother Dao! This is the car I saw last time at the entrance of Hongji Shantang!" Zhao Guoyan said as he ran.

Jiang Lianheng nodded secretly and grinned - Rong Wu, Rong Wu, you have allowed me to catch you!

At this moment, Xue Yingqing suddenly reached out and took his arm.

Jiang Lianheng thought she was scared, but when he saw her cheerful face and smiling eyes, he realized that she was in a drama and started to act.

The carriage stopped at the door of the bungalow courtyard.

A fat old man wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket walked over with a smile on his face.

"Is this Master Cai Yunsheng Cai?" He seemed to be a butler, "Nice to meet you! Then this must be He——"

"He Lizhen." Xue Yingqing smiled and stretched out her hand.

Old Pang Dun'er did not shake hands with her, but clasped his fists and made a bow: "You two are tired of traveling and traveling, and we are far away from each other. Please forgive me and forgive me! I am Rong Wuye's housekeeper, my surname is Zhang, and I am Li Zaozhang. "

"Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you!"

Jiang Lianheng hurriedly clasped his fists, responded twice, and patiently exchanged a few polite words. When he was about to step into the courtyard, he was suddenly stopped by the old fat man with his hand raised.

"Master Cai, wait a moment." Old Fatty Dun'er said with a smile, "Master Rong is not at home now."

Jiang Lianheng lowered his head and looked at the time. It was indeed a quarter of an hour before the agreed time of three-thirty.

Then, he glanced at the car parked at the entrance of the courtyard, and an ominous premonition suddenly crept up from the bottom of his heart.

"Then shall I wait here for a while?" Jiang Lianheng asked with a hint of luck.

Sure enough, the old fat man pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Master Cai, I'm so sorry. The place where you and Fifth Master Rong are meeting has been temporarily changed."

"Changed it?" Jiang Lianheng's heart skipped a beat, "Why did it change again?"

His tone was a bit dissatisfied, but this is human nature. Even if it were the real Cai Yunsheng, he would probably have the same reaction.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Old Fatty Dun'er quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Master Rong Wu has many things to do, so sometimes this kind of situation is inevitable." "Then where should we change it this time?"

"Haha, the problem lies with us, Master Cai and Miss He don't have to worry anymore."

As he spoke, the old fat man passed through the bodyguards guarding the door, walked slowly to the black car, stretched out his hand to open the door, and said politely: "You two, please get in the car. The driver knows the road and the car is convenient. Mr. Rong Wu is already here." I’ll wait for you over there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lianheng's face immediately drooped and froze.

The plan was completely disrupted!

Once you get in the car, you can't tell where you will be taken; but if you get in the car, you can't guarantee that you won't arouse suspicion.

Since the old fat man refused to tell us where the meeting took place, it was obviously in vain to ask.

After all, Jiang Lianheng was not a professional liar. Faced with the sudden change and in front of Master Rong Wu's housekeeper, he was immediately at a loss.

At this time, Xiao Gu suddenly spoke up, pretending to be dissatisfied and asked: "Huh? We have already agreed that we will cover the day's work, and you suddenly don't have to do it. What's going on?"

Li Leng was also helping out: "What do you mean, having a car is a big deal?"

Of course Lenglili immediately started talking to him: "Cars are great, but you can't bully them! Wherever you can go, we can go too!"

Seeing this, Old Fatty Dun'er quickly bowed to Jiang and said, "Don't worry, you guys, it's been a hard trip for you. The Fifth Master Rong has taken care of all the expenses you incurred along the way, just to express his apology. How about it?" , you two—get in the car?”

Jiang Lianheng hesitated.

The old fat man straightened up again, frowned and asked, "You two, is there any inconvenience?"

Xue Yingqing was a liar after all. When he saw this situation, he immediately laughed and said with a smile: "Butler Zhang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We have never been in a car before! This is a new thing. I’m really afraid of showing my shyness in front of you!”

She spoke calmly and without changing her expression, but Jiang Lianheng could clearly feel that the hand she was holding suddenly became a little harder.

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Lianheng hurriedly responded, "Cars are really new, they have a price but no market. If you want to buy one, you can't even get in line!"

Hearing this, Old Fatty'er's expression softened a lot.

"It's not a big deal! After you two have settled the business, if you want to buy a car, no matter if it's from Germany or the United States, just tell Mr. Rong Wu, and he will have a way to help you get it!"

"That's that!" Jiang Lian turned his head and looked at Xue Yingqing, "Then let's get in the car?"

"Let's go! It's just a fresh start!"

Jiang Lianheng turned around and said to Zhao Guoyan and others: "You don't have to worry, I won't miss a penny of the wages you should pay. If you don't believe it, just wait here. If you can trust it, go back and wait." "

Zhao Guoyan and others nodded - the troops were divided into two groups, one to stay behind and the other to follow. They could follow as far as they could.

After saying that, Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing lowered their heads and got into the black cars one after another.

It was my first time to ride in a car, and there was a faint smell of leather on the seats. It was indeed fresh, but I had no time to indulge in it.

The driver was a young man in his twenties, without braids and wearing a pair of white gloves. He glanced at Jiang Lianheng in the rearview mirror and nodded without smiling.

"Master Cai!"

"Let's drive!"

The car engine roared!
Jiang Lianheng felt his buttocks trembling and the soles of his feet numb. The scenery outside the car window began to recede, slowly and then quickly.

Old Fat Dun'er stood at the door of the courtyard, separated by a glass window, and nodded and bowed to Jiang: "Master Cai, walk slowly! Walk slowly, I won't send you far away!"

The black car turned a few corners on the old market street, faced the surprised and envious gazes of pedestrians on both sides, and drove towards the northwest.

Xue Yingqing looked at the street scene outside the car window and couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to Xinshi Street?"

"Yeah." The driver's answer was concise and to the point.

Xue Yingqing put on an excited expression and patted the back of Jiang Lianheng's hand from time to time, pointing at the scenery outside the window and asking questions. It seemed aimless, but in fact he was writing down signs along the way.

Her hands were cold.

Jiang Lianheng knew that it was caused by nervousness - it would be weird if she wasn't nervous - but just from the appearance, he couldn't see anything strange about her at all.

The car crossed a bridge.

Xue Yingqing pointed out the window and asked with a smile: "Is this Long He?"

"Well, it should be."

"Yunsheng, you know so much!"

Jiang Lianheng smiled bitterly and thought to himself: How the hell do I know if that is the Dragon River or the Bastard River, just remember that there is a river!
The car drove into Xinshi Street, the road was wide, and the speed of the car suddenly accelerated.

Gradually, the scenery along the road began to take on a chilling atmosphere. The Kanto Governor's Palace, the garrison headquarters, the Oriental Military Police Headquarters...

Military and political buildings passed by in a flash outside the car window.

"Boom!"

A military truck full of Japanese soldiers came from across the road, and a burst of unbridled laughter broke out on the truck.

Jiang Lianheng turned his head and watched the group of Xiao Dongyang go away, his face gradually darkened.

Finally, after passing through the entire New City Street, the black car stopped at a street called Tsukimicho on the westernmost edge of the city.

"Master Cai, Miss He, we're here." The young driver smiled at the two of them in the rear mirror.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed over from outside and opened the car door.

Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing got out of the car and took a look. What they saw was an antique traditional oriental building, complete with pavilions, corridors and corridors, surrounded by a brick wall with white blue tiles.

There are gendarmerie guarding outside the courtyard gate, and there are bodyguards guarding the house inside.

There was a wooden sign hanging by the door, and Jiang Lianheng looked at it intently.

"Feng...wai...li?"

"Oh! These are Master Cai and Miss He!"

A man with a short chin wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, dragging a long braid, came forward and said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please come in quickly, Mr. Rong Wu and Lao Shanren have been waiting for you two for a long time!" "

"Nice to meet you, who are you?"

"Don't mention my last name. Just call me Tie Chun. I work under Mr. Rong Wu."

Jiang Lianheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that he has not been exposed yet, but it is only for the time being.

Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, the Japanese military police guarding the door stopped him again.

The short-chinned man came over immediately and explained: "Master Cai, don't worry too much. Master Rong Wu and Lao Shanren are important officials. No matter who comes in, they will be searched."

Jiang Lianheng had no choice but to open his arms and let him search him. Xue Yingqing beside him was naturally not spared either.

A box cannon was found.

Jiang Lianheng said calmly: "I came to Lushun from Anton and brought so much money with me, so it is inevitable that I have to prepare something to defend myself."

It's reasonable and reasonable.

A sharp dagger was found again.

Jiang Lianheng didn't blush or breath, and continued: "As I said just now, when you go out, you must be on guard against others!"

"It should be!" Short Chin was not suspicious, "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, especially outside the customs, and gangsters are prevalent. You really should be prepared to avoid danger!"

Having said that, Jiang Lianheng saw that the inside and outside of the courtyard were heavily guarded, and it was obviously a fool's errand to think of bringing those brothers to attack by force.

After being searched, the short-chinned man did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately took Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing into the courtyard, passed through the gate of the house, and walked around the corridor. Under the watchful eyes of many bodyguards, he took the two people to the courtyard. There is a reception room in the backyard, which at least looks like a reception room.

This place was already located on the edge of the city. With rockeries and flowing water in the yard and green trees outside, it was indeed a quite secluded place to live.

Walking into the house, I found that there were two paper sliding doors in the north and south of the reception room, and the back door faced a backyard.

Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing took off their shoes, followed Short Chin into the room, followed the back door, and looked up, only to see three people in the backyard, with their backs to the door, admiring flowers by the wall.

The short-chinned man immediately lifted up his gown, walked over quickly and whispered a few words.

Then, the three people turned around together.

The leader is about fifty years old, with a thin face, a slender expression, a straight nose, a pair of round glasses, and traditional Oriental clothes. He looks elegant and like a scholar.

The other man was about the same age as him, wearing a robe and mandarin jacket as usual, a Liuhe melon skin cap on his head, and a slender braid hanging from the back of his head.

Jiang Lianheng raised his eyes and immediately concluded that this person must be Master Rong Wu.

However, he couldn't actually tell what the basis was. He just felt that the face looked familiar and he must have seen it before, but he couldn't remember where it was.

However, what made him most curious was that there was a little girl about ten years old standing between the two old men!
Tie Chun, a short-chinned man, led the three of them to Jiang Lianheng and briefly introduced Lao Deng, who was wearing a melon skin hat.

"Master Cai, this is Master Rong Wu!"

There was light in Jiang Lianheng's eyes, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, and stretched out his hand: "Cai Yunsheng, I have long admired the name of Fifth Master Rong!"

Rong Wuye's face was as smooth as a lake, he shook hands with him and said solemnly: "Young Master Cai, you have had a hard journey."

"It's not hard, it's not hard! It's hard to see the true Buddha, and it's hard to find the true scriptures. Today I see Master Rong Wu, and my life is complete!"

After saying that, Jiang Lianheng turned his head again, facing the old man from Japan, and asked with a smile in his eyes: "Then who is this old mountain man..."

The old man with a thin face stood in the middle of the yard, enjoying the distant view.

He glanced at Jiang Lianheng and Xue Yingqing indifferently, with a somewhat arrogant look on his face. He did not bow and salute, but opened his mouth and spoke extremely fluent and standard Chinese——

"My surname is Kawashima, and this is my adopted daughter, Yoshiko."

　PS At this time, Yoshiko Kawashima should have already traveled east to Japan. It's just a novel, no need to take it seriously.

　　Of course, Kawashima Naniwa's Feng Gaishanren did live in Port Arthur, but the specific location and what kind of house are not clear. Feng Gai's residence is fictitious and is just to heighten the atmosphere. Please be merciful to the research party.
