20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 450 The fake horse takes off its satin
Qian Zhuo's words were too straightforward, and the two of them suddenly didn't know how to proceed.

After thinking about it, Li Zhengxi laughed twice and said, "I have no grudge against Lao Qian'er, and he didn't cheat me out of my money. I just heard that he is quite famous in this industry, and I want to make friends with him." ”

"Can your kid speak?"

The strong men behind Qian's desk shouted sternly: "Why is he famous? Why, our Second Master Tao is not famous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chuanghu quickly came over to rescue him.

"No, no, it's not that you are inferior to Lao Qian, it's because we brothers are foreigners and have short knowledge."

The money man named Tao waved his hands at the table, as if he didn't care about it, but then asked: "What are you two doing with old money?"

"I want to do business with him." Li Zhengxi replied.

Chuang Hu then added: "Don't worry, it's not a rice exchange business. We heard that Lao Qian'er has some dirty ideas, and we wanted to see two 'foreign Guanyin's."

"You are full of enthusiasm, are you two here online?" Mr. Tao's tone became much gentler.

Li Zhengxi cupped his hands and clasped his fists, then put on a thoughtful look, pondered for a moment, and asked as if muttering to himself: "I also heard that Lao Qian'er's profession is money desk, I don't know why he Got involved in this business.”

In the North, the days are short and the nights are long. It is also a cloudy day, so the streets are a little deserted. Standing in the middle of the road, looking east and west, your vision becomes far and wide.

"You are a moral person!" Li Zhengxi expressed sincere admiration.

"Brother, don't talk like this to me, it's useless. To tell you the truth, I have some beef with Lao Qian'er, or in other words, the entire exchange street has some beef with him, but even if we don't deal with it, it's still our family's fault. It has nothing to do with outsiders.”

Afterwards, the two of them walked far away and found two more money tables to inquire about the news. The results were very similar to what Mr. Tao said, and there was nothing new.

What Second Master Tao said was obviously to undermine him. If he said that he and Lao Qian'er had no holiday, no one would believe it.

Back on Zhengyang Street, the sun was already setting in the west.

After Tao Erye said this, he refused to talk about the rest. He just waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's go, let's not delay the business here."

"If you want to pick up the 'Yang Guanyin', go to Shuangcheng to find Zhan!" Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Why let old money get in the middle? He is not a scumbag."

All in all, it is to find a "stand-in" to inexplicably take the blame and eliminate disasters for oneself.

"It makes sense, it makes sense, I just hope that senior can give me a clear path to save me from falling into a pit."

"Brother, I see you are here online. Don't you understand what I just said?"

"Don't praise me. I'd rather scold someone than a whole family." Mr. Tao said, "I can't ruin this business just because I have some issues with Lao Qianer."

"Master Shuangcheng...it turns out there is an expert here. Thank you for your advice, senior."

Taking off the satin from a fake horse is undoubtedly a classic trick among thousands of sects.

In desperation, Li Zhengxi and Chuang Hu had to stand up and say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tao laughed twice.

Mr. Tao smacked his lips and pondered for a long time before saying, "Old Qian is no longer what he used to be. You'd better stay away from him. Be careful of the fake horse taking off his satin."

The allusions and changes therein will not be described in detail.

Hearing this, Li Zhengxi and Chuang Hu were stunned for a moment.

"Yes, yes, I just came from the south. Man'er is young and doesn't follow the leader Liang Gang."

"Huzi, who is the Master Zhan of Shuangcheng? Have you heard of him?" Li Zhengxi asked as he walked.

"The leader of the local beggar gang has been involved in the business of photographing beauties before." Chuang Hu shook his head, "The plague is causing it. Damn it, you are not dead. If you don't die, you can't find anyone."

"That means that Lao Qian'er's connection to the 'foreign Guanyin' for his employer is related to this Zhan Ye?"

"I can't say for sure, but based on my understanding of the beggar gangs in Shuangcheng, they don't dare to kidnap foreigners."

Although the details of Sheng Baoku have not yet been found out, at least a lot of clues have been obtained.

First, Lao Qian'er probably did something that violated the rules and offended all the money tables in Exchange Street.

Secondly, most of today's old money is "gold and jade but ruined", and 80% of them owe a lot of debt.

Thirdly, the reason why Lao Qianer was able to win the business of "Foreign Guanyin" was probably from the Shuangcheng Beggar Gang. When he first arrived, Li Zhengxi was quite satisfied with today's "harvest" and said, "Okay, Binjiang County is not in vain. Let's go back first!"

"Aren't you looking for Lin Qi?"

"It's not like I'm asking you to reminisce about old times. You've been looking for it all morning. Why are you still bothering?"

Chuanghu didn't want to leave, so he deliberately slowed down his pace. Taking advantage of the street gradually becoming less crowded, he looked around anxiously, for fear of missing any details.

Fortunately, Huang Tian pays off.

Walking westward from the seventh intersection of Zhengyang Street, when you reached the third intersection, you saw an artist pulling a cart of foreign movies on the cross street, busy closing his stall.

Chuang Hu's eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed Xifeng's arm and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I know that guy who pulls foreign films, Lao Kong, he also knows Lin Qi, let's go over and have a look."

Li Zhengxi saw that he was in great interest and was here all the time, so he had no choice but to follow him to the cross street.

The man pulling the foreign products looks to be in his forties, with a medium build, a long neck, and blurry eyes. He is currently stacking the long bench on the box, and is about to push the cart to close the stall.

I saw gongs and snare drums tied to that box, and several pieces of music were written on the cardboard next to it:

"Wine Pond and Meat Forest", "A Widow Asking for a Child", "The Queen's Rejuvenation and Fighting with Ximen"...

As soon as he saw the title of the song, Li Zhengxi understood that he was Chuang Hu's friend!

"Lao Kong!"

Chuanghu walked over quickly and pressed the push box.

The foreigner frowned, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Who is it?"

"I, Chuanghu, the popper under the bed, have you forgotten?" Chuanghu was a little dissatisfied. He walked around the box of foreign movies and pointed at the track on it, "Ungrateful? This is the copy of "The Queen's Rejuvenation Fights Simon" , I wrote it for you!”

"Oh, it's you!" Lao Kong slapped his forehead and apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. It's been so many years since I last saw you. I thought you were gone that year. !”

It can be seen that the two are just acquaintances, and their relationship is not close.

Chuanghu pulled Xifeng over, introduced a few words to Lao Kong, and then asked: "Old Kong, do you still remember Lin Qi? He was the shadow puppet singer. He used to be with me. He was tall. , looks quite fierce.”

"Shadow puppet singer..." Lao Kong muttered to himself.

"The songless cuckoo!" Chuanghu quickly added, "You have a very good voice. You can imitate whoever you are, brother."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remembered it as soon as you mentioned the songless cuckoo."

"Where is he lying on the ground now?" Chuanghu asked, "I've been looking for him all day, but I didn't see him!"

When talking about this matter, Lao Kong, who plays foreign films, suddenly showed an envious expression.

"Hey, people have stopped doing this a long time ago. If you rap about shadow puppets, it's all old history." He muttered to himself, "It's hard to do business in the city now, but you think it's okay, but actually it's the same. Before, it was far worse.”

"You have such a good voice, why don't you just quit?" Chuang Hu looked a little regretful, "Even if the fire is getting worse, don't throw away your skills!"

"Alas, everyone has his own ambitions!" Lao Kong sighed.

"Then where is he now and what does he do for a living?" Chuanghu asked.

"He, he later learned to make movies from Mao Zi. He seems to be at some Far East Film Company?"

Li Zhengxi and Chuang Hu were stunned.

But then I thought about it, from donkey shadow puppets to making movies...it seems that they are not completely unrelated businesses, there are always some connections.

Lao Kong continued: "Now I have stopped being an apprentice and have become a manager."

"Really, where is he now?" Chuanghu looked very excited when he heard that his brother was doing well.

Lao Kong thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed toward the northeast of Linjiang.

"Going north, there is a Songjiang Movie Tea House. I heard that movies are shown on the second floor, but I have never been there."
