20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 420 Negotiation
"Those old brats, although they don't have much power, are still considered celebrities in our province. To get rid of them, we need to be more careful about things."

In the living room of the mansion, Jiang Lian sat on a single sofa, lit a cigarette, and told Li Zhengxi to eradicate the remaining members of Master Rong Wu's party in Fengtian.

With Zhang Laogeda determined to clean up the clan society party, Rong Wuye was assassinated, and Laoshan people were eager for quick success. Na Min and others were now the turtles in the urn, so this mission was not difficult.

Jiang Lianheng just reminded emphatically: "There should be no gunshot wounds or knife wounds on those old pigtails. In short, the cleaner the matter, the better."

"But what should Na Min and the others do?" Li Zhengxi asked hesitantly, "Those people should have guns in their hands, can they be honest?"

Jiang Lian smacked his lips, crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, shook his head and said: "They have no choice. It is the provincial government's decision to clean up the Zongshe Party. This is Fengtian. They can only do what I say, otherwise, Even if you use a dull knife to pull meat, you will be caught and killed by Lao Zhang sooner or later."

"Okay, then when will I take people there?"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Lianheng looked back at the clock in the corner, "Go ahead and get ready. I'll give you the news after five o'clock."

Li Zhengxi smiled and said, "Brother Dao, we are just a few veterans, why do we need to prepare? There are still more than four hours until five o'clock!"

However, Jiang Lianheng shook his head: "Xifeng, you can't take your family members with you this time. Take the little fans under your control and let them do it."

Before Jiang Lianheng left Fengtian, he first tried to find out where Wen Tingge came from. Hu Xiaoyan then took out fifteen of the most trusted experts from home, and with Xiang'er, asked Wen Tingge to temporarily form a secret hall - "A soldier doesn't know the general." , will not know how to fight" - in the entire Jiang family, apart from Jiang and Hu, only Zhang Zhengdong was responsible for liaison with him.

Zhang Zhengdong nodded and replied, "He should be talking to Na Min and the others now."

"No, no, no, brother, brother, I heard a big thing from Laoshanren, involving the prince. After I write it out and adapt it a little, I'm sure it will be a big seller! I don't want to cooperate with the newspaper. If I print and publish it myself, then But it’s gone!”

"Hu, sit down!" Jiang Lianheng hurriedly asked Chuang Hu to sit down on the sofa next to him. "You got the information about the assassination of Zhang Laoge. This is a great contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

There are thirteen people who live in the Red Mansion, and now there are twelve left. These twelve people are the inner circle sent to Fengtian by Master Rong Wu. For the Jiang family, they must be completely eradicated. As for their spies outside the Red Mansion, they were all moneymen. They were the eyes and ears that Na Min bribed after coming to Fengtian. They were no threat at all and could only be handled by patrol police or provincial spies.

Wen Tingge was already capable. After three years of investigation, Liu Yansheng recommended him, and when the Jiang family lost power, he resolutely took over Li Zhengxi's previous errand. In any case, he should be reused.

"My daughter-in-law can't give me anything. I want money, business, and influence. All of these are fine."

Jiang Lianheng looked out the window and saw Chuang Hu hurriedly crossing his legs and walking to the living room.

Li Zhengxi took over the errand and immediately left his home and went to the southeast riverside to gather people.

After An Tangkou's personnel moved across Jianglian, they were mainly responsible for monitoring Na Min, Zhong Yushan and Han Xinyuan, reporting the situation to the head sister-in-law through Dongfeng from time to time, and beheading them when necessary.

"Then..." Chuanghu glanced at it and asked timidly, "Brother, can you open a printing shop for me?"

Jiang Lianheng frowned.

Li Zhengxi didn't think much about it. Those little beggars also had a grudge against the old braid, and they were eager to take over the job.

Chuanghu also knew that he had made a great contribution, so he laughed innocently, scratched his head and asked, "What do you really want for me?"

Now that the matter has come to this, the previous deployment has become clear.

This arrangement is not very clever, but Wen Tingge had no reputation in the Jiang family before and took advantage of it, thus bypassing the eyes and ears of Na Min and others.

Later, Jiang Lianheng called Dongfeng to the living room and ordered: "When Namin and his gang are cleared, let Wen Tingge come to see me at home."

Chuanghu hurriedly explained: "It's not that big of a factory. A small bungalow is enough. The machines don't need to be new, they can be second-hand ones. It's enough to be able to set type and print a book."

"Young man, don't you have anything else to pursue?"

While he was talking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the yard.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force yourself.

Chuanghu was very capable, but his ambition stopped there. Jiang Lianheng had no choice but to agree, and then asked: "By the way, you came back in the same car with Shopkeeper Xue and the others. Where did she go? Didn't you follow her?" You said you were going to come over and ask me for money?”

"Oh, Shopkeeper Xue and the others are staying at the Huichuan Hotel in Daxiguan! She said she is not in a hurry and has to make preparations. She will come to you to calculate the money in two days!"

"Get ready?" Jiang Lianheng was confused for a moment, "She asked me for money, what is she preparing?"

Chuanghu said helplessly: "This...I don't understand it either."

Jiang Lianheng was puzzled, and finally stood up and ordered: "Dongfeng, send someone to Huichuan Hotel to ask about the situation, and tell Shopkeeper Xue that this is Fengtian. If you have any difficulties, just ask."

After saying that, he felt that he had almost everything that needed to be explained, so he stood up, walked out of the living room, and walked upstairs - after being away from home for so long, it was time to have some fun with his children.

However, when he just reached the stairs, Liu Yansheng opened the door again, holding a pile of paper in his hand, limping over and said: "Brother Dao, look at this, this is the meeting of the Jianghu Gang in Nanguo." I already went over the rules with my sister-in-law when you were away. I just think it’s time for the Jiang family to set the rules clearly.”

……

……

Dajinhua Barber Shop, affiliated to Southern Railway.

It was just past noon, and the red and blue neon sign of the barber shop had not yet turned on. The narrow alley seemed particularly quiet and cool. Although it was a back alley, the corners were very neat, as if they had been cleaned up not long ago. There was nothing visible. Traces of filth.

The world has changed. Those who shave their heads no longer shave their heads, but instead have haircuts. There are more and more styles every day, and the prices are getting more expensive every day. Fashion and trends often start with the hair.

The alley was very quiet, and before I even got to the store, I could vaguely hear the "click-click-click" sound of scissors through the display window.

Wen Tingge, wearing a black shorts, took two secret brothers, opened the store door and walked in.

"Sir, this is the one. Sit down and wait for a while. What kind of haircut do you want?"

The barber was in his thirties, with short hair, wearing a white coat, holding scissors in one hand and a wooden comb in the other. When he turned his head, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold.

I saw only three people at the door, all of whom looked evil, especially the two brothers on the left and right of the leader, with box cannons looming around their waists. They were obviously not customers who came for a haircut.

When the guests on the seats saw this, they screamed inwardly. They quickly settled the money, nodded and bowed to Wen Tingge, and hesitated to say something.

Before he could speak, Wen Tingge turned sideways and whispered impatiently: "Let's go!"

After the guests left, the remaining two brothers immediately locked the door of the barber shop. "Three big brothers...you, what do you mean?" The barber took a step back timidly, but the store was too small and there was no way to retreat.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers in the dark hall immediately took out their guns, pressed the barber on the seat, and searched him all over.

"Hey! What are you doing? I never provoked you!"

Faced with the barber's complaint, Wen Tingge remained indifferent. Before arriving here, he had already figured out the connection between the Dajinhua Barber Shop and the Red Mansion.

He walked slowly to the corner of the store and saw a new phone on a small table.

"Is the hair-shaving business so good now?" Wen Tingge pulled up a chair and sat next to the barber and asked, "How can such a small shop even ring the phone?"

"It's not illegal to press the phone...is it?"

"Snapped!"

The brother next to him immediately slapped the barber in the face and yelled: "Who paid you to ring the phone, don't you know who you are? Who are you using this phone to do things for, who are you tipping off information to?" !”

Wen Tingge raised his hand to stop his brothers, then patted the barber on the shoulder and asked: "We have been watching you for several days. You know who you are working for, right?"

The barber was at a loss for words. After thinking about it, he could only nod and admit: "I know."

"Then do you know who you are against?"

"Go against me? No, no, no, I'm just a person running a small business. How dare I go against others! I...I just helped that big guy to inquire about the situation in the city. I didn't do anything else. It’s none of my business at all!”

"That being said, you still know who you're up against."

"No! I didn't do anything. I just told them the news in the city and earned... some extra money."

Wen Tingge was too lazy to talk to him, but he was just a man who liked petty gains, so he pointed to the small table in the corner and ordered: "You call them now."

"Call?" the barber asked with trembling lips, "Then... what should I say?"

"Just make a phone call, you don't have to worry about anything else."

The barber had no choice but to walk to the small table, pick up the phone and ask the operator to connect to the Red Mansion.

The phone rang twice, and Na Min's voice came from the receiver: "Hello? Who is this?"

The barber glanced at Wen Tingge, and after receiving confirmation, he tremblingly replied: "It's me, Xiao Cheng from the barber shop."

Wen Tingge immediately leaned over the receiver.

Na Min's voice sounded a little irritable, and he said cursingly: "If anything happens, tell me immediately! Jiang Lianheng has returned to Fengtian! Is there anything going on in the city now?"

The barber was still pretending to be stupid: "Who is Jiang, Jiang Lianheng——"

Just in the middle of speaking, Wen Tingge grabbed the phone and said in a low but unquestionable voice: "Namin, you are done, do you still want to call?"

Hearing this, Na Min seemed to be discussing countermeasures with the people around him, and the receiver was silent for a long time.

"Who are you? Can you represent Jiang Lianheng?"

"You don't need to worry about who I am, I'm just a messenger. My boss wants to make a deal with you. You guys should leave the Red Mansion, keep your old braids, and cooperate with the Jiang family to arrest the eyes and ears of other clans and socialist parties. My boss I can help you leave Fengtian.”

Wen Tingge paused, and then said: "Of course, if you still want to fight, or continue to waste it like this, that's fine, but my boss asked me to tell you that you can't live without Fengtian. From today on, among you, Whoever leaves that building will die. Even if the Southern Railway Guard escorts you, it will be useless. I have your photos in my hand. If you can escape the first grade of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth grade. Unless the little devil can protect you for the rest of your life. But I don’t think that’s realistic.”

Na Min was silent for another moment, but this time, some chattering and arguing could be faintly heard in the receiver.

"I want to talk to Jiang Lianheng face to face." Finally, Na Min said, "And other wealthy gentry from the provincial capital must come forward as guarantees!"

Wen Tingge laughed out loud and said: "Well, you are not qualified to raise conditions. The provincial government has made up its mind to clean up the Zongshe Party. Once Lao Zhang reaches cooperation with the Dongyang people, no one can protect you even if you hide in the annex. My boss asked me to tell you that Mr. Rong Wu is dead, why are you still keeping those old braids? You don’t think that you are a noble if you have braids?”

Na Min and others hesitated.

Wen Tingge struck while the iron was hot and told the entire situation of the Red Mansion, including which room on the second floor Lord Beile and others lived in, how many brothers were responsible for keeping vigil every night, and where Na Min and Suo Cheng were in the annex. Where are the installed ears and eyes?

He was originally a "high-buyer" who turned his head high, and he was already familiar with the job of stepping on the plate.

In short, Wen Tingge already knew everything about the Red Mansion.

"What do you mean by telling me this?" Na Min asked.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you, don't waste your time like this. Once my boss loses patience and thinks about you, you won't even have a chance to react." Wen Tingge said with a smile, "I'll tell you something. Story!"

"Story? What story?"

Wen Tingge pondered for a moment and said: "Not long ago, there were a few old and young people from the imperial court who took all their belongings and prepared to go to Fengtian to prepare for the restoration of the country. However, they were spotted by a few gangsters on the way, so they broke into the house at night and robbed them. He was timid and cowardly, and gave away all his property in exchange for his own life. However, because of the unfair distribution of the stolen goods, the gangsters fought among themselves on the spot. One group killed the other group and took away all the stolen money. The old braids were reunited. How about dying for the country if it fails?"

"absurd!"

"If you refuse the deal, this will be the file on the Red Mansions Murder Case."

"Only a fool would believe it!"

"No one needs to believe it. Just a statement is enough. The Jiang family's power is back. There is government guarantee, witnesses and material evidence. Everything you want is available."

If it were in the past, the Jiang family might be afraid of taking action directly in the affiliated areas, but the current situation is different. It was Zhang Laogeda's decision to clean up the Clan Socialist Party, and things would be much easier. Moreover, the Dongyang Patrol has always been indifferent to the cases of Chinese people. If the Laoshan people did not protect Na Min and others, the Dongyang Police Department would not pursue them and attack them fiercely.

Na Min and others finally reached an agreement and asked, "When will we meet?"

Wen Tingge said: "Before five o'clock this afternoon, you take the people out of the Red Mansion, leave Lao Zhuzi and the others behind, and then go to the back gate of Xiaoxiguan and Shengfang. Someone will be waiting for you there."

"Shall we go by ourselves?"

"I advise you to be honest and don't be too smart."
