Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 110 Killer (1w)

With their golden color, crispy texture and various flavors, potato chips have been very popular since their birth and have even become a standard snack recognized around the world.

Potato chips are definitely a profitable business, and they are also a typical product of the assembly line industry.

But no one knows what it takes to go from potatoes to potato chips.

There are more than 230 varieties of potatoes in the UK alone, but not all potatoes are suitable for making potato chips.

For example, soft potatoes are more suitable for making salads;

Some potatoes are suitable for mashed potatoes.

Generally, the water content of potatoes is about 80%, and the rest is starch and a small amount of natural sucrose.

Moisture content and sugar content are two key factors that affect the quality of potato chips.

The more moisture there is, the longer it will take to fry the chips;
The more sugar there is, the darker the chips will be.

Therefore, potato chip factories generally use potatoes with a moisture content of only 75% and a relatively low sugar content.

Selected farm-quality potatoes can be turned into bags of potato chips within 6 hours.

The potato chip production line, which runs 24 hours a day and is open all year round, can be divided into seven steps in simple terms.

The first step is washing in batches; the second step is rubbing and peeling; the third step is slicing in seconds; the fourth step is washing the starch; the fifth step is frying in the oil pan; the sixth step is seasoning in the drum; the seventh step is aeration. Bagging.

About 1 potato can produce a bag of potato chips. The transformation from potatoes to potato chips becomes the beginning of another delicious food.

Who invented potato chips?
If you ask people from Chou country, they will say that potato chips were invented in Chou country in 1853.

The story goes like this: In 1853, George Crum was working as a chef at a country club in New York state. During this period, he encountered a very picky customer who kept returning his potato chips and said that they were not thin enough.

So George Crumb cut the potatoes into very thin chips, fried them and simply sprinkled them with a little salt before serving them directly. The customers were very satisfied.

Simply, George Clam added fried potato chips to the menu, and this is the origin of the ugly version of potato chips.

The British were dissatisfied. They believed that potatoes had been used as a dish in Britain for more than 200 years, and there must have been similar practices before.

But indeed, they did mention potato chips in the 1817 book "The Cook's Guide" by William Kitchener.

This book, one of the most popular cookbooks from the Victorian era, is all about cooking potatoes, including this method:
Slice or shave potatoes and fry them in lard or animal fat, turning constantly, until they become crispy.

Therefore, the British firmly believe that the United Kingdom invented potato chips as early as 1817, and potato chips originated from the United Kingdom.

But no matter who invented it, the production of potato chips has never been a problem. The problem is still the packaging and transportation.

If this problem cannot be solved, potato chips will only be a dish in restaurants, rather than a snack product that sells well around the world.

In the original history, Pringles solved the packaging problem in the 70s and successfully promoted it to the market.

Zhu Chuanren used his brain and pondered for a long time but could not come up with a solution.

If that doesn't work, you have to use the old method, kraft paper, and then find a way to seal it and inflate it inside, which can replace plastic to a certain extent.

But the problem is that such packaging costs more and its safety is not guaranteed.

However, this issue should be left to Lao Xia to consider. As the boss, he can't do all the work.

The packaging problem of puffed food is the key. If this problem can be solved, Zhu Chuanren is sure to create a world-class snack brand. All potato chips, French fries, corn flakes, etc. can be put on the market.

And just relying on this technology patent, he can ensure that the Zhu family will not have to worry about food and drink for several lifetimes.

Forget it, let's not consider this issue for now. He temporarily turned his attention to the warlords in various places.

In the past two years of warlord fighting, the underground arms network he secretly controlled had made a fortune, and they wanted as many guns and ammunition as they wanted.

Even warlords who have military factories in their territory are very hungry for all kinds of new weapons.

In the era of thermal weapons, whoever can master more powerful firepower has a greater chance of winning.

Coupled with the fact that these warlords were not short of money, Zhu Chuanren naturally made a lot of money.

In particular, he has a monopoly on the Thompson submachine gun, which has almost become the standard equipment of every warlord's guard camp. Anyone who doesn't go out with a dozen Thompsons these days would be embarrassed to call himself a warlord.

Of course, there are also those who are unique and want to play something different. For example, He Fenglin's security camp got a batch of MP-18. You may not know this, but this gun has a nickname in China, called 'Flower Machine Gun'!
This gun originated in Germany. The German submachine gun system and the Italian submachine gun system are generally regarded as the two origins of the submachine gun field. There has always been controversy about who was the first to launch it.

However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, the foundation and starting point of the development of the two are different.

It is generally believed that the emergence of purpose-made submachine guns was to play a role in suppressing firepower in aviation and land. Therefore, in the early days, it was built with a double-barreled parallel structure to exert its own firepower characteristics;
Later, this design exposed the problems of excessive shooting and continuous insufficient shooting, so the design was transformed into a single-barreled submachine gun. Only then was the starting point for the development of the Italian submachine gun system.

The development of the German submachine gun system is different from this origin. According to my summary in the pistol article, it is more of a system evolved based on the over-development of pistols.

Because it suffered from the lack of large-scale firepower weapons for skirmishers in World War I, the Second Empire was eager to combine large-capacity pistols with the emerging concept of portable firepower to form a new trend compared to the shotguns and light weapons that became the trend during the same period. Machine guns, high-power light weapons with more extreme portability, can fill the equipment gap that appeared in trench warfare.

Although this idea eventually led to the development of the Mauser 712 submachine pistol with a butt combined with full automatic, and later formed the submachine pistol type, it also promoted and inspired the advent of submachine guns. effect.

Before the German Empire proposed the submachine gun plan at the earliest stage, it conducted a failed submachine pistol bidding plan. Due to the failure of this bidding, after relaxing the restrictions and conducting a second bidding, Smyser's spiritual design was selected. The first German submachine gun.

This design, which was accidentally derived from the pistol project, later became the first German standard submachine gun to be selected. Due to its ability to achieve high demand in the short-term equipment, it also became the starting point for the development of the German submachine gun system.

Later, the evolution and development based on this weapon formed the entire German submachine gun system in Germany before the end of the second station.

In this entire development process, we need to start from 1915 after the outbreak of World War I.

In this year, the above-mentioned Spandau Rifle Test Committee proposed a plan to improve the Mauser and Luger pistols with large capacity and increased carrying capacity for use in trench warfare against shotgun weapons. The plan was officially implemented.

Although this plan ultimately failed due to the pressure and lack of controllability of semi-automatic pistols that were not suitable for fully automatic guns, as well as the serious interference of battlefield sediment and debris on follow-up weapons, it ended in failure.

However, the official still recognized the design concept of portable high-power weapons after the test. Therefore, after removing some restrictions on pistol modifications to avoid defects, the second bidding plan continued.

In this second tender, a total of 6 companies participated in the competition, and the design of Bergmann Company was finally determined, and in 1918 it was designated as the first standard submachine gun of the German army, and this weapon was the well-known MP- Type 18 submachine gun.

This MP-18 model was mainly built by the design team of Hugo Smyser. He was the son of Louis Smyser, who took over Bergman's position as chief designer after the latter left in 1905.

In his design career, apart from the STG-44 model at the end of the second station, this gun type is the most famous.

On it, Hugo finalized for the first time a design based on free-style recoil (not the first use) combined with side-opening loading and ejection, forming a system mainly focused on the pursuit of high rate of fire.

This set the tone for the design of submachine guns in various countries in the future, that is, "a design concept that does not pursue complex and multi-functional internal structures, but only maintains high firing rates and operational reliability."

Specifically, this design uses a bolt that contains a firing pin group to combine the rear recoil spring and the guide rod, and then relies on the charging handle fixed on the outside of the bolt to pull the bolt backward to store the recoil spring. Finally, the trigger is used to release the bolt lock so that the ammunition on the left side is pushed into the chamber and fired.

Finally, the bulge on the face of the gun is combined with the recoil and recoil provided by the impact of the bullet chamber, and some small internal slope designs of the gun body are used to achieve the function of charging the spring backward again and ejecting the shell.

This structure can achieve ultra-fast continuous cycle shooting in an unobstructed state.

After configuring the open-bore standby structure, it can also have very good heat dissipation performance, and the range and accuracy issues are not the key points within the combat range of the submachine gun, so this weapon can also maintain good operational reliability.

In addition, the gun also has quite good achievements in the design of the external area where there is not much room for adjustment. Many complementary designs have been made to the MP-18 model in terms of the characteristics required for a submachine gun.

For example, its fully-encircled barrel heat dissipation outer barrel can support the heat dissipation design of the opening standby. The combination of the two maintains the long-term thermal erosion problem of continuous-fire weapons within a very reliable standard. .

For another example, it relies on the disassembly structure consisting of a button at the rear of the receiver and a rotating shaft design at the connection position between the barrel and the wooden gun body. It can perform a similar bending quick-release function like a bending revolver. For opening the gun, The intrusion and interference of foreign objects easily produced by continuous firing weapons can be very effective in eliminating it.

In fact, many of these external designs were used in later generations, and they were all pioneering ideas.

Combined with the above-mentioned creation of the core system, in addition to being an innovative and unique work at the same time, it also had a great impact on the design of submachine guns in later generations.

However, this gun type also has many flaws. Although these are largely caused by external forces and inexperienced reference to pioneering designs, it does also reduce the rating of this weapon from a design perspective. A lot.

Among them, the most deadly one is the "munition supply design", which is also the part of the design that I said was forced to be added due to external influences.

Due to its excessive pursuit of high ammunition capacity, the military issued a demand for the use of 32-round snail-type drum magazines in the later stages of the bidding process.

This had a great impact on the MP-20 prototype that was originally designed to use a 18-round straight magazine. The final design was equipped with an overly large drum that was not conceived in the independent design, forming a weird Final mass production model.

The main problem caused by such a design insertion is the difference in balance. The 32-round ammunition load and the already heavy drum mass are a huge challenge to the controllability of the firearm and the maintenance of accuracy at close range. .

In addition, the drum design itself is very difficult to load because the internal ultra-long stroke spring releases its spring force as the ammunition is loaded. For unskilled soldiers, it is even necessary to carry a loading tool to complete the loading.

The idea of ​​light reloading through less loading is refuted by the high rate of fire, and for drum magazines that are not portable, there is no option to carry more.

Based on all the above, this has a great negative impact on the overall structurally reasonable design, which directly makes usability and accuracy a major disadvantage of this weapon.

However, the German military department on the acceptance side does not have any big opinions on what seems to be a huge problem now.

According to their thinking, this kind of firearm has reached the expected high bullet capacity. Although it caused some usage problems, it was not a serious problem for the Second Empire, which used soldiers as tools.

In short, this weapon was recognized by the military and became Germany's first standard submachine gun. The first-phase contract was as high as 5.

However, due to the deterioration of the war situation and the failure of the war soon after, these orders were only completed in 1920 and only about 25000 were mass-produced. Only 3000 of them actually participated in World War I during the Second Empire, and due to the quantity Fewer, only assault troops are equipped and used in combat.

One stop later, when Germany entered the era of the Weimar Republic, because this weapon showed restraint at the last moment against the mainstream trench warfare at that time, the treaty signed by the victorious powers to Germany also included restrictions on the development and use of submachine guns.

However, the restrictions proposed by the victorious countries were mainly to replace the large drum magazine with a 20-round straight magazine, which directly made up for the only huge flaw in the early days of the weapon.

It can be seen that they knew little about this weapon when the treaty was signed, which also gave Germany and weapons companies considerable room for maneuver.

They developed domestic improved models for police use through loose restrictions, and developed more powerful submachine guns through foreign acquisitions or joint ventures. These domestic and foreign models based on Smyser's designs formed the basis of the development of German submachine guns. of the second era.

During this period, the most mainstream and orthodox gun type was the MP-28 submachine gun developed by Smyser himself.

This weapon was launched when Bergman Company and Smyser had a disagreement over the outsourcing of production rights to SIG, and the latter left to establish the company and cooperated with Heinel.

It is worth mentioning that Heinel Company also obtained a treaty-based weakening production order for the MP-18. Therefore, during the Weimar era, all standard submachine guns could basically be related to Heinel.

In terms of design, there are not many major adjustments to this weapon. Except for the Mauser 20-round in-line magazine selected due to restrictions, there are only some optimizations in the gun body, internal and safety design.

However, these adjustments have completely made up for all the design flaws of the previous model. Therefore, although the performance has not been improved much, the completeness of the firearm design has been achieved.

Taking the grooves, streamlines and thickening of the gun body as an example, and the balance obtained by replacing the magazine, the controllability and usability of the gun, which has been criticized before, have become advantages.

The addition of the fully automatic and semi-automatic mode selection device solves the problem that the previous model only relied on the groove of the charging handle to maintain safety. The previous model could only rely on the fixed charging handle to drag the bolt and fix it on a temporary within the safe area.

There is only a fully automatic design. If the hook is not hooked in time when the firing is stopped, it is very likely to be fired incorrectly during operation.

The newly added mode selector indirectly solves this problem. After selecting the semi-automatic mode, a single-shot rear locking latch will be provided at the bottom, which does not increase complexity and reduce the rate of fire, but also increases the safety of use.

In addition to these two points, the only major change that can be found in this gun type is the adjustment of the recoil spring inside the receiver.

This design change is simply to adjust the combination of a small spring and a guide rod to a large recoil spring that is the same width as the outer receiver.

The purpose is also easy to understand, which is to use fully matched equal-width springs to rely on the fit limits of the receiver and bolt to provide smaller shooting pressure and smoother recoil action, which will support the high rate of fire and accuracy of the firearm. .

Based on these adjustments, the MP28 became a fully designed version of the previous model. Although there was no innovation in design, the adjustments allowed this weapon to show the combat power it should have. It was the most advanced submachine gun design at the time.

However, due to the inability to reflect combat power and the impact of the economic crisis, it was not well applied. It was not until the Bavarian Rebellion later proved the advantages of urban, mobile and guerrilla warfare that it was reused by the new Third Reich.

Not only did it receive orders from the Wehrmacht and the SS, but it also demonstrated its ability to cooperate with long-range units such as artillery and aircraft in close-range and efficient combat, allowing New Germany to integrate submachine guns into its main combat system.

In short, the MP-18 is a submachine gun with major flaws but a certain degree of practicality. This is similar to the Thompson submachine gun.

As for why He Fenglin insisted on using MP-18, it was just because she wanted to be unique and make it appear that she was different from others.

Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't want Zhu Chuanren to make his own money, this narrow-minded guy.

Speaking of He Fenglin, it happened that Xu Dali had tied up his secretary and kept him at the dock warehouse so that Shen Jiang could finish his work.

"Third Young Master, where is he~"

Behind the container, Xu Dali whispered.

"Well, you haven't asked yet?"

"No, I'm waiting for you, Third Young Master, to come and ask in person. This guy is a coward. After being hit twice, he will attack immediately."

"Well, are your tails clean?"

"Don't worry, there was no one around when we started last night, and there will definitely be no tail left."

"Well done, just ask, I won't show up."

Zhu Chuanren was still very cautious.

"Yes~"

Xu Dali adjusted his hat and walked out.

Zhu Chuanren did not go over to listen. He lit a cigar, leaned against the container, and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Dali wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief and ran back all the way.

"Third Young Master~"

Zhu Chuanren yawned:

"Oh, how's it going?"

"He said he didn't know anything about it, but his brother-in-law is from the He Fenglin Guards, so he might know something."

Zhu Chuanren was stunned for a moment:

"Guards?"

"That's what he said."

"Nothing else to say?"

Xu Dali shook his head:

"This kid is too cowardly to lie to us. He just wet his pants when I made a move."

Zhu Chuanren clicked his tongue twice:

"You can't tie up his brother-in-law anymore, right?"

Losing a secretary would be fine, but losing a security guard would make He Fenglin go crazy.

Although the other party has no evidence to prove that he did it, it is a bit too arrogant to do so. What if He Fenglin goes crazy and fires a map cannon?

"Damn~ It's a bit troublesome~" Zhu Chuanren cursed.

Xu Dali rolled his eyes and came up with an idea:

"Third Young Master, if this is not the case, we will find a way to seize the leverage of his brother-in-law and use it to control him to serve us. In this way, we can place someone next to He."

Zhu Chuanren thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible:

"Then go ahead and do it. Since you want to seize the handle, let's seize the big one. The small one is boring."

"I understand!" Xu Dali was smart and knew what Zhu Chuanren meant.

Since you want to control someone, you must tie them tightly. If there is no small handle, then forcibly create a big handle. In short, you have to hold this person in the palm of your hand!
Of course, He Fenglin herself is a habitual corruption offender, and her people cannot be clean.

It was a pity for Zhu Chuanren that such a wealthy warlord could not make money for himself. It was such a pity.In his opinion, there are only two kinds of warlords in the world, one is a good warlord who can make money for himself, and the other is a bad warlord who is unwilling to make money for himself. Obviously, He Fenglin is the latter.

The disappearance of secretary He Fenglin caused quite a stir in the capital city. After all, he was the secretary of the king of the capital city, and he was also a very important person outside. It would be unrealistic if there would be no disturbance if such a person disappeared.

However, no matter how He Fenglin investigated, his secretary just disappeared from the world, and there was no news. All that was known was that the last place he appeared was a cigarette shop in Yanliu Lane, and there was no trace after that.

He Fenglin was furious. In his opinion, this was Chi Guoguo's provocation and a slap in his face.

At this time, a rumor came out from nowhere that He Fenglin's secretary was killed by Wang Qiaoya.

Who are the people in Wangqiaoya?That was the person who would later be known as the number one killer in the Republic of China.

This man has been studying since he was a child and is extremely intelligent. When he was a boy, he witnessed the officials oppressing the people and hated him deeply.

Yearning for Jing Ke and Nie Zheng, he claimed to be chivalrous and took social transformation as his own responsibility. Every time he talked with young people with lofty ideals, "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country", he sang generous and tragic songs, and was unyielding. Many neighbors and friends praised Wangqiaoya for the legacy of ancient martyrs.

Wang Qiaiya failed in the last imperial examination in the late Qing Dynasty and later worked as a rural teacher for a short period. He was considered an educated person at the time.

In 1911, Wang Qiaiya and his fellow villagers responded to Lao Sun's idea of ​​separatist life and served as deputy commander of the Hefei separatist army. After the eruption of separatism, Wang Qiaiya prepared to take advantage of the chaos to take possession of Lao Li's property in Hefei. As a result, Almost died.

Two years later, Wang Qiaiya was wanted and was forced to live in exile in the capital. When he first arrived, he could only mingle among the laborers, working hard at the dock every day, and at night he and his wife would sleep in a low-rent pavilion, experiencing the bitterness of poverty. .

In the early days of the Republic of China, Shanghai was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, gangsters were in power, and the Cao Gang, headed by Huang Mapi and Du Laiyang, was rampant.

In the magical capital, a paradise for adventurers, Wang Qiaoya quickly used his extraordinary organizational leadership skills to twist thousands of workers from Shanghai and Anhui together to form a gang - the Futou Gang.

On the one hand, it is to protect Anhui workers in the capital from being bullied, and on the other hand, it is to eradicate traitors and traitors.

Each of them had an axe, and hundreds of axes immediately turned Shanghai into chaos, and the Futou Gang became famous from then on.

Wang Qiaoya relied on hundreds of sharp axes to carve out a vast world in Shanghai. Because of his nickname Jiuguang, the world customarily respected him as "Jiuye".

Huang Mapi, who had already established a foothold in Shanghai at that time, faced the menacing Futou Gang and had to tell his disciples:
"If you encounter the Futou Gang in the future, try to stay away! They are life-threatening and we cannot afford to offend them."

In the past two years, Lao Qi, the Jiangsu governor of the Zhili clique, and Lu Yongxiang, the Zhejiang governor of the Anhui clique, have been fighting overtly and covertly for the possession of the magic city.

Lu Yongxiang appointed his confidant He Fenglin as the Songhu military envoy, while Lao Qi appointed his favorite general Xu Guoliang as the chief of the Shanghai Police Department.

In order to cut off Lao Qi's arm, Lu Yongxiang went around looking for knights to eradicate Lao Qi.

Because Wang Qiaiya and Mr. Lu were already familiar with each other at that time, and they were both generous and daring. In addition, Wang Qiaiya, who had participated in the demonstrations, was wanted by Xu Guoliang and had to hide everywhere.

Lu Yongxiang then asked Wang Qiaiya to kill Xu Guoliang and gave Wang Qiaiya [-] silver dollars as funding.

Wang Qiaiya readily agreed, and immediately gathered his close disciples to collect [-] silver dollars and distribute them, and the task was completed within one month.

However, these gang members are all the "three-guang code" (ie, eat up, use up, and pawn) in the city. When they have a huge sum of money, they first go to Sima Road to eat, drink and gamble. After three weeks, Xu Guoliang was unscathed. .

At this time, Wang Qiaoya was really anxious. He called his disciples to scold him, and threw out five thousand silver dollars. He had to take Xu's head within one week.

Two days later, Wang Qiaiya's apprentice learned that Xu Guoliang would go to the hot spring bathhouse opposite the big world every afternoon. Wang Qiaiya was overjoyed when he got the news.

On this day, Wang Qiaoya arrived early to wait near the big world.

When Xu Guoliang came out of the bath and was about to get into the car, Wang and Zheng rushed out of their hiding place and fired their guns simultaneously. The bullets hit his vital part, killing Xu Guoliang on the spot.

This assassination became a sensational case during the Republic of China. For a time, the name of the killer Wang Qiaoya resounded throughout Shanghai and even throughout China.

Wang Qiaiya eliminated a serious problem for Lu Yongxiang. In return, Lu Yongxiang, in addition to giving him a large sum of money, appointed Wang Qiaiya as the commander of the Zhejiang Rangers, and he became the Jinlan brothers with Lao Dai and Lao Hu in Huzhou.

Unexpectedly, two years later, Lu Yongxiang was defeated and the Rangers in Wangqiaoya had to disperse.

Wang Qiaoya had no choice but to join Lao Hu and got a mixed brigade commander.

Not long after Lao Hu died of a sudden illness, Wang Qiaiya led his troops south to Guangdong Province, where he met Chang Kaishen, and was then sent to work in Shanghai to encourage the Northern Expedition.

In general, Wang Qiaoya's life was quite legendary. He had followed many people and killed many people, but he never killed useless people.

Suddenly there was news in the world that Wang Qiaoya had killed He Fenglin's secretary. This matter was somewhat suspenseful.

Zhu Chuanren himself was confused, let alone Wangqiaoya?

But he didn't know whether others believed it or not. He Fenglin believed it. He felt that Wang Qiaiya was most likely responsible for this matter and that no one else had the ability.

In anger, He Fenglin immediately summoned the army and rushed to the Futou Gang's lair. However, they did not expect that when they went, the Futou Gang was already empty.

Not to mention people, not even the tail of a mouse can be found.

At this time, Wang Qiaoya was sitting opposite Zhu Chuanren in the private room on the third floor of the building outside the building.

"Why?" Wang Qiaoya asked.

"No reason, I just don't want you to be dealt with by a stupid and unscrupulous warlord."

Wang Qiaoya narrowed his eyes as if he was sizing up the other person:

"I'm afraid it's more than that?"

"Then why?"

"I have no enmity with He Fenglin's secretary, so why should I kill him? And suddenly there was a gust of wind in the Magic City, saying that I killed the other party. If there was no one behind the scenes, it would not have happened."

Wang Qiaoya said in a deep voice.

"Haha, so you think I'm the one behind the plan?"

"It's not impossible, and you informed me that He Fenglin was coming at a critical moment. Isn't it because of guilt?"

"Haha~ If you write a storybook, I would be willing to buy one and read it~"

"You don't admit it?"

"Why should I admit it if I didn't do it?"

"Then why did you save me, an unrelated person?"

"I said, I think you are a good man, and you don't want to see a good man die unexpectedly. Isn't it difficult to understand?"

"You, Mr. Zhu San, have always been unwilling to do anything early without profit."

"It's rare for me to show kindness, but I'm still misunderstood. Where can I reason?"

Seeing that Zhu Chuanren looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Wang Qiaoya couldn't do anything with him and took a sip of wine:
"No matter what, my Futou Gang has been wiped out like this, but we have no other choice."

"Haha, with your ability, you can definitely make a comeback, but I'm afraid it won't be easy in the Magic City."

For some reason, Wang Qiaiya always felt that the other party was gloating about his misfortune, and he still felt that this happened to Zhu Chuanren.

But he had nothing to do with Zhu Chuanren, so he said nothing and took two bites of vegetables with chopsticks to eat.

"Mr. Wang, do you really have no place to stay now?"

Zhu Chuanren spoke abruptly.

"What do you mean by this? Could it be that the Third Young Master takes pity on me and wants to give me a place to stay?"

Wang Qiaoya looked sarcastic and seemed to be provoking.

"why not?"

Wang Qiaoya was slightly startled. He was completely confused by Zhu Chuanren and couldn't figure out what was in his stomach.

"Haha, Mr. Wang, there is no need to think too much. I just want to do you a favor. If you refuse, I don't care."

"Aren't you afraid that He Fenglin will settle accounts with your queen? She is the King of the Demon City."

"You want to settle a score with me? Why? I didn't go against him. Have we met today?"

Wang Qiaoya opened his mouth and said with some conviction:

"In terms of financial resources, you are not the best in the city, but in terms of shamelessness, you are definitely the best!" He gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, but Mr. Wang, I am serious. If you don't have a place to stay, just come to me. I will definitely lend a helping hand. For no other reason than to make a friend."

These words piqued Wang Qiaoya's appetite. He was a man of heroic spirit and famous for his loyalty. In this regard, he was comparable to Zhu Kaishan.

"Thank you then, but I think the rumors are true. You, Master Zhu San, are the kind of person who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. You must have some purpose in helping me like this."

Zhu Chuanren smiled bitterly and said:

"Rumors kill people, so it doesn't matter. Since you said so, it really won't make sense if I don't mention something. So, just do me a favor and I'll help you get through this disaster!"

Wang Qiaoya then relaxed:
"If you said so earlier, it would be over. If you feel relaxed, so will I."

After a pause:
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Find out who is trying to kill me, find him, and kill him!"

He had a feeling in his heart that most of the assassinations against him in the past two years were carried out by Luo Jiadong.

Of course, his ability alone cannot reach this level. There must be a big person behind him to support him. Who is it?
Clement, He Fenglin?It's possible.

It's not important. Since we can't find it out by conventional means, we might as well take a different approach and let Wang Qiaoya try his methods and methods. What if it works?
To take a step back, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. Finding a place to stay for Wangqiaoya is not a problem for him, and he won't lose anything.

With his current ability, if he makes a casual move, it is expected that it will work, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

"Someone is going to kill you?"

"Some people have always wanted to kill me. In the past two years, there have been eight assassinations against me, if not ten. I was run away every time. I was helpless."

Wang Qiaoya gloated and said:
"Then you should be hiding in front of your house and never leave. Why do you come out to show off? Do you think you have a long life?"

"Haha, I am not someone who just sits at home and waits for death. Since someone wants to kill me, I will give him a chance. But if he is caught by me accidentally, then he will know what life is worse than death!"

After Zhu Chuanren said these words, a man like Wang Qiaoya who had experienced blood could not help but shudder.

"Whoever offends you will have a long life~" He held back this sentence for a long time.

"How's it going? What do you think of this deal?"

"First tell me how you are going to help us avoid He Fenglin!"

"Why do you want to avoid it? You just need to show up in the concession openly. If you lend him some courage, he won't dare to cause trouble in the concession!"

Wang Qiaoya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"As expected, the rumors said that you are as cunning as a fox. Looking at it now, the rumors are indeed true~"

"Excellent~"

Wang Qiaoya sighed:
"But if you can hide in the concession, you can't hide forever~"

"Believe me, He Fenglin doesn't have many good days left~"

Zhu Chuanren said this meaningfully, which directly confused Wang Qiaoya:
"Why are you so sure?"

"How long do you think the warlords' melee will continue?"

"I don't know, five years? Ten years?"

"I judge that it will not take more than five years at most, and then we will see the outcome. The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. After being in chaos for so long, it is time for unification."

Zhu Chuanren's words made Wang Qiaoya look at him with admiration. Being able to say this at his age shows that he has seen through the world.

"Well, in your opinion, He Fenglin will definitely be the one to be wiped out."

"Of course~"

Wang Qiaoya nodded thoughtfully, then picked up his chopsticks and took two bites:

"Let me make another request."

"You say~"

"Will you let me eat and drink outside the building for free from now on?"

This time it was Zhu Chuanren's turn to be stunned, and then he laughed:
"Hahaha~ Okay, it's in my private room, you can eat whatever you want!"

Wang Qiaoya cupped his fists and raised his hands:
"Thank you~"

After he left, looking at the table full of leftovers, Xu Dali clicked his tongue:

"Is this man really a killer? How come he is like a loser? He eats more than Ding San."

"Haha, in the profession of killer, there is no tomorrow. You just work with your head in your belt. Of course, no one wants to treat you badly. I heard that this old friend from Wangqiaoya has quite a lot of friends." Lao Tan said. .

"Yes, but Third Young Master, do you really want to leave this matter to him? Is it possible?" Xu Dali asked worriedly.

"What's wrong? Even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose anything. If it works out, it will be an unexpected surprise."

Zhu Chuanren said.

"Okay, then do you want me to keep an eye on him?"

"No, you don't need to worry about him. Just treat him as if he doesn't exist. Also, Lao Tan, find a place in the concession to rent to Wang Qiaoya and the others."

"I understand, Third Young Master."

"Well, there is also Dali. If you continue to look for Luo Jiadong, I always feel that he is not far from me, even right next to me~"

If you want to take revenge on someone, you will even choose to do it under the lamp.

"Yes~ Third Young Master, I will definitely find him first before Wang Qiaoya~"

Zhu Chuanren shook his head and smiled. This kid has a lot of drive, which is a good thing, but it doesn't mean that he can get things done with his drive.

"By the way, has He Fenglin's secretary been dealt with completely?"

Xu Dali nodded:
"Don't worry, Third Young Master. After he is killed, he will sink directly into the river. According to your instructions, I personally went to his house and searched for all the money and all documents."

"Well, good job. Did you find anything useful in those files?"

Xu Dali shook his head:
"I didn't read it. I'll give it to Lao Tan after I get the document."

This Xu Dali is smart, he is afraid that he will see something he shouldn't see, and then Zhu Chuanren will be in trouble, whether he will be killed!
"Old Tan?"

"Third Young Master, many of those documents are He Fenglin's military secrets. I am sorting them out and will report to you after sorting them out~"

"Well, looking at it this way, it would be a pity to kill him." Zhu Chuanren touched his chin and said with some regret.

This time he was still anxious. A living secretary who could be used by him would be a good secretary.
