Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 92: Warmongers Have No Great Achievements
No wonder Wu Deren hates Manager Yan so much. Zhang Kaiwu is the same!
Damn it! We lived too close to each other, and I was bullied and beaten a lot when I was a kid.

When I grow up and gain power, I will definitely repay the favor when I have the chance!

………………

Zhang Kaiwu saw the terrain clearly and took Mu Chunhua for a walk in Zhima Hutong.

I spent a small amount of money to buy a small courtyard that was a little closer to Chen Xueru and the others.

It's convenient to take care of some things, but not too close to create a gap in life.

Although the price is a bit expensive, there is nothing missing. The kitchen has everything.

This is Qianmen Zhima Hutong, a bustling commercial district. The houses here are definitely more expensive than those in Nanluoguxiang.

Zhang Kaiwu looked around the yard carefully with a smile on his face. The structure of this small yard was similar to Wu Deren's.

In the past, these were standardized things and could not be easily changed.

Even if the homeowner changes it in the future, the changes will not be significant.

Zhang Kaiwu wandered around the room for a while and memorized the structure.

The three rooms have a similar structure to those in Qinjiatun, but are more beautiful.

The structure has one living room, three bedrooms, one is a kitchen, and another is a kitchen.

The rooms in the house now have no doors and are separated by curtains.

A wealthy host would put up a bead curtain, but he would not install a door.

It is not popular to install doors in the house nowadays. It is a matter of etiquette, not privacy.

Servants must have permission to enter their master's room.

If friends want to go to someone else's room, they must be invited by that person.

Otherwise, what if you see something you shouldn’t see?!

In the melon field and plum field.

Except when delivering meals, Nanny Wang never entered the master bedroom.

...............

After seeing the structure clearly.

Zhang Kaiwu was most concerned about the wall. He estimated that his precious three-meter-high ladder would be more than enough.

In Peking, except for the walls of the market towns which were four or five meters high, the height of the average residents' houses was only two and a half meters.

After carefully studying this small courtyard, I realized that if a robber broke in from outside and did something bad, it would be very dangerous.

Where is the most convenient place to enter the wall?

...............

Mu Chunhua was also watching with a smile on her face, getting familiar with the structure of the house and preparing to move in soon.

She guessed that Kaiwu bought it just to settle her father.

She just didn't want to say it directly, all for the sake of saving her father's face.

Brother Kaiwu has already bought several yards and then bought another small yard. Isn’t this obvious?

really.

After looking at the yard, Zhang Kaiwu handed her the key to the small courtyard.

Smiling, she said, "Xiaohua! Your father needs some quiet time while he's recovering, and it just so happens that I bought a small yard."

"It won't be needed for a while. You and your father can move in to get treated and live here for the time being. Just help me look after the house."

Mu Chunhua said with a smile:
"Got it, Brother Kaiwu! I'll help you find a house, and the wages will be used to cover the accommodation fee. I'll tell him this later."

This is a smart girl, just like the young lady, but unfortunately she is a little bit poor. Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her hard.

Mu Chunhua gave him a kiss excitedly and was reluctant to separate for a long time.

…………

just kidding.

Even if it means buying more houses and keeping concubines, Zhang Kaiwu remembers that many people became rich by doing this.

After seven or eight years, the house price has increased tenfold. If the concubine is driven out again, you will become rich once the house is sold!

Mu Chunhua was shy and didn't want him to help with moving.

He said, "How can a hired worker who helps look after a house ask the owner to help him?"

He smiled and left.

Sometimes it is polite not to help.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu avoided Qianmen Street and wandered around buying things.

I bought two dollars worth of cigarettes.

Especially for food, just buy it when you see it, and it won’t go bad if you throw it into the storage space.

When he saw someone selling pork, he bought ten or so pounds of it without saying a word.

I bought eight kinds of snacks, some crispy candies for the children, and three dollars worth of them.

This time he didn't ask for a box, but there were a lot more crispy candies and snacks.

I also bought a big meat bun for two dollars, and the price of this dollar will drop soon.

Food will not go out of style for thirty or forty years and will always be a scarce commodity.

Buy some when you have time, not only today, but also in the future.

If he wasn't afraid of attracting attention, Zhang Kaiwu would have bought a large batch at once.

I walked around, stopped to buy things, and also checked out the area around Zhima Hutong.

Zhang Kaiwu doesn't like fighting those kinds of battles where one has to survive in desperate situations. Those kinds of things are only done by fools.

Being intentional and unintentional is the right way.

Those who love warmonger will never achieve great success.

A dead enemy is a good enemy.

...............

The nearby Eight Great Hutongs were as lively as ever, with Kunqu opera enthusiasts cheering wildly.

I don't know where the enthusiasm comes from.

Just like the veteran actor from last time, he really opened Zhang Kaiwu's eyes.

And the fanatical fans in the future are not much different.

By the time he had wandered around for a while, he had become familiar with the terrain of Zhima Hutong and the Bada Hutong.

It was almost time, so he went home to cook.

When he finished cooking dinner, Chen Xueru and Lin Xiaoniang also came back.

After finishing their dinner, the three of them went out to enjoy the cool air.

Lin Xiaoniang started massaging again...

Zhang Kaiwu's eyesight was not good tonight and it seemed that he could not see Lin Xiaoniang's secret signal.

Give her a lesson, she's been acting crazy these past few days.

Zhang Kaiwu had something on his mind today, so he dealt with it carelessly.

The tragedy happened.

The Su Nu Heart Sutra doesn't add any experience at all, I'm speechless.

That's it!

This matter requires everyone to be happy in order for experience points to be added.

This is really speechless.

Zhang Kaiwu was lying there in high spirits. It turned out that the key to double cultivation was to make both parties satisfied! ?

Chen Xueru had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Lin Xiaoniang was kneeling there, looking at him with twinkling eyes.

Zhang Kaiwu whispered, "Girl! Go to bed early!"

Lin Xiaoniang ignored him, lit a cigarette for him and gently put it in his mouth.

He said slowly and in a low voice: "Master! How about I go ahead and scout the way for you at night?"

He whispered, "What are you doing so crazy? Go to bed quickly."

Lin Xiaoniang's eyes were clear and she said slowly and softly:
"Master! When you asked me this afternoon, I realized it."

"With your proud personality, how could you possibly give gifts and flatter someone? You should go and kill people and set fire to things, right?"

"Mu Chunhua also heard it, right? Did you go to see the place this afternoon?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile: "You are so smart, can you give me some advice?"

Lin Xiaoniang whispered:
"Can't we wait? It's a chaotic time, and he makes a living by firing guns. Who knows, something might happen one day."

"With all the noise outside, he won't live long!"

Zhang Kaiwu smoked a cigarette and asked, "Did he handle the Yan family's affairs wisely?"

"He handled his hatred cleanly and made a fortune. He also did not cause anyone's disgust or damage his reputation."

"He is a smart man who would not put himself in danger. He has not done anything to gain merit, nor has he done anything to offend his neighbors."

"A world of chaos and disorder is where he can show his abilities, and he can get along with everyone."

"If something really changes, he will be smart enough to change himself."

"Haha! Maybe I can even make a contribution!"

Lin Xiaoniang wanted to say something, but was stopped by him.

He knew what happened next and didn't want to explain it.

The more you explain, the more questions you will have.

Zhang Kaiwu had many reasons to kill Wu Deren, such as the training grounds in Paoding Palace and Bada Hutong...

They are all in Zhima Hutong.

Wu Deren's ways are very wild, but he does things cleanly and efficiently!

Holding Lin Xiaoniang in his arms, Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Why don't you stay at home and keep watch for me? If everything goes well, it won't take long."

"If the truth is revealed, we will go to Black Dragon Mountain and become bandits."

"When the time comes, you will take the name of a bandit, Mother Yasha, and drug others to keep watch. I will take the name of a bandit, A Breeze of Wind, and occupy Black Dragon Mountain to rob and kill people."

"Kill people and set fires to wait for amnesty. That's what they say in operas."

I'm going to wipe out the whole family soon.

Seeing that he was full of confidence and not panicking at all, Lin Xiaoniang couldn't help but feel happy.

He smiled and said, "I am not afraid of death. I suffered a lot when I was a child. I have a worthless life. Following you, Master, I have found life fun."

"What about Sister Xueru? She has never suffered before. She suffered a lot on the mountain."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Are you stupid? She is the wife of a bandit leader! Doesn't she like doing business?"

"This is a business with no capital, but it's much more fun to do! You can make money no matter how you do it. Once you find a customer, you can charge whatever you want..."

"If you utter a word "no" from your mouth, I will kill you and not bury you!" Lin Xiaoniang said quickly.

…………We chatted for a while to recharge our batteries.

It's almost one o'clock.

The dead of night is a great time to get things done.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, the two people did not light the oil lamp.

Zhang Kaiwu was wearing dark-colored clothes, and Lin Xiaoniang was standing guard at the door nervously.

I saw him gently open the door and slowly walk out.

There is basically no sound!

veteran!

Lin Xiaoniang also knew how vicious and cruel Wu Deren was. How many people in Qianmen Street didn't know this?
She really couldn't object to Zhang Kaiwu's method.

…………

Zhang Kaiwu moved forward along the edge of Zhima Hutong lightly with his hands and feet, but at a very fast speed. In fact, he was very calm in his heart.

Nothing else! It just comes with practice…

The moon is very big tonight, it is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

There are only a few scattered street lights in Zhima Hutong now.

There is only one light bulb every 100 meters.

There were less than ten light bulbs on the street in the entire Zhima Hutong, and all the lights had been turned off long ago.

The curfew is at 10pm, but in fact, there is basically no one around once it gets dark.

It was pitch dark and some people were shooting from behind and using clubs. Only fools would run around at night.

When the patrol officers found someone unusual at night, their first action was not to ask questions, but to get up and shoot.

Since there is curfew and you are still hanging out, you should be able to get beaten!

Beat him to death first.

Large-scale residential electricity consumption has not yet begun.

It took Zhang Kaiwu less than three minutes to reach the destination, a distance of more than 200 meters.

He ran to the corner of Wu Deren's house and saw the sidecar motorcycle at the gate.

He had seen it in the distance just now.

He took out a ladder from the storage space and gently placed it on top of the wall.

Zhang Kaiwu climbed up the wall easily and went down easily.

After putting away the ladder, he stood quietly for a while.

He listened carefully to the noise and quickly identified the room.

Zhang Kaiwu knew from the small courtyard he bought during the day and his experience of looking at houses during this period that the windows of the current courtyard houses have no glass windows at all.

The windows are all papered.

All the windows with glass are in foreign houses, and the glass is bought at a high price.

Broken glass bottles can be sold for money!

He did not go directly to Wu Deren's room, he chose a room farthest away.

I got some water to wet the window paper and opened the window easily.

Slowly crawled into the room.

I closed my eyes and waited for a while to adjust to the light in the room.

Then he walked gently towards Wu Deren's room and entered his room.

Wu Deren was lying on the bed snoring loudly when he came to his bedside.

Maybe he sensed something, or maybe he was too murderous! ?

Wu Deren opened his eyes and was shocked to see Zhang Kaiwu standing beside the bed.

He reached under the pillow and was about to say something.

Now that he had identified the target, Zhang Kaiwu hit him with a club without hesitation.

Too many stories tell us not to take the risk of talking nonsense, because if we talk too much nonsense, things will change.

After putting it away, he slowly began to look around the room.

There was a Mauser pistol hanging on the head of the bed. It was his service pistol, which he put away.

When he put away the pillow, there was a revolver underneath, which was probably his self-defense weapon, and he also put it away.

At this time, the soldiers under the Patrol Department all used Hanyang-made rifles.

Because the power of pistols is so small, they often need to fight against bandits and various forces.

If someone from the Patrol Department uses a pistol, he is really seeking death.

You can't hit far or accurately.

It's only in the movies, but in actual combat, one can shoot accurately with a pistol within thirty meters and still hit the target accurately.

They are all the best shooters among the best shooters.

Simply put, a well-trained shooter can hit a stationary target within seven meters with confidence.

So within seven steps, the gun is faster.

But it is different for officers, they don’t need to rush to the front with long guns, so only officers are equipped with pistols to decorate their appearance.

There was a small bunch of keys on the clothes next to it, and Zhang Kaiwu put away the clothes as well.

Now that you're here, it would be a shame not to take something away.

Zhang Kaiwu also had to create the illusion of a thief entering the room, so he couldn't be careless.

As for whether anyone would believe that the thieves went crazy and moved the home of the Chief of the Patrol Department, would they?

He doesn't care.

Zhang Kaiwu believed it.

He searched the room carefully and took away all the clothes and quilts.

There were small things on the table and things in the cabinet, and I didn't have time to take a closer look before he took them all away.

Sure enough, after something went missing, Zhang Kaiwu discovered the jar of pickles.

Place it in a corner of the room and hang it casually with clothes.

Maybe Wu Deren got it yesterday and hasn’t had a chance to deal with it yet.

The jars of pickles were very heavy, so Zhang Kaiwu put away the jars as well.

After a careful search, only cabinets, tables, benches and other items were left in the room.

He then gently opened the door and locked it.

After going out, he locked the gate of the yard again and even put away the three-wheeled motorcycle at the door.

Sometimes there are too many clues and people will fall into a trap.

Zhang Kaiwu calmly walked back along the edge of the alley.

It's almost two o'clock, and there will be some activities in a while.

The excrement collector, the street sweeper, the breakfast maker...

But this time is the quietest time, and everything is quiet all around.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Lin Xiaoniang was waiting for him nervously.

Zhang Kaiwu was gone for an hour. If the alley had not been so quiet and nothing was happening, she would have been unable to hold back.

Seeing him coming back, Lin Xiaoniang gently opened the half-open door.

He slipped in, closed the door gently, and the two of them returned to the room.

Lin Xiaoniang asked in a low voice: "Master! How is the matter?"

Zhang Kaiwu hugged her and said softly:

"Robbers broke into Wu Deren's home. He died and disappeared. His home was robbed."

"As for when they were discovered, I don't know. The thieves did it too cleanly."

Lin Xiaoniang said excitedly in a low voice:

"Great, sir, take a rest! Let me give you a massage..."

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her charming expression, he was speechless...

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoniang had spent the whole day worried and frightened, and she needed to relieve the stress more than he did.

Gave her a kiss and let her drink...

…………

The Su Nu Heart Sutra has been upgraded a little bit this time.

Beautiful!
The problem was solved, and Lin Xiaoniang went to bed contentedly.

Get up in the morning.

Lin Xiaoniang had gone to the store a long time ago, and she was in high spirits.

Zhang Kaiwu did not sleep in today and went to the store with Chen Xueru.

We have to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Kaiwu, with the help of a crutch, took her with him and ate something in the alley.

Inside Zhima Hutong, everything was as quiet as usual.

After breakfast, Chen Xueru went to the store.

Zhang Kaiwu walked slowly with a cane to the Yitiaolong restaurant, where he drank tea and boasted with the owner Niu.

It's almost noon.

A large number of patrol officers began to inspect and handle cases, and Qianmen Street became lively again.

The shopkeepers came in groups of three or four to the main door to make some noise, whispering to each other.

Zhang Kaiwu and Shopkeeper Niu did the same, running to the door to gossip with the shopkeepers.

"Wu Deren was retaliated by the Yan family, and his life or death is uncertain..."

"The Wu family's house was robbed and everything was taken away. It looks like...!"

"It might be the work of the diehards in the escort agency. The day before yesterday, he raided Manager Yan, and yesterday the remnants of the escort agency raided his house to take revenge."

"There must be help from the Paoding Palace here, otherwise how could they have moved all the things?"

"It's possible that he joined the bandits. I heard that his sidecar motorcycle is missing too."

"It's hard to say! Anything is possible..."

"There were no gunshots in Zhima Hutong, and no fighting in the room. It must have been someone close to him who committed the crime!"

Groups of shopkeepers were there, muttering and eating melons.

His expression was also very strange.

No matter what happens, those who know don’t say anything, and those who don’t know talk nonsense…
