Republic of China 1927

() After a burst of hurried footsteps, knocking on the door, and crying, Qingzhou City under the night has returned to its usual silence.The streets are empty, and the houses along the street are also in darkness. At this time, only the moon that is hidden or visible on the treetops and branches exudes bright light. It is a quiet summer night.

Suddenly a figure flashed in a small alley, quickly passed through the narrow alley, jumped over a high wall with a light body, and landed steadily in the back garden of the yard.

"Damn, I went the wrong way!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Yan cursed inwardly. As soon as Xinyin was released, he was searched door-to-door by the military police. He hid in an abandoned house and hid for a while just came out.I originally wanted to go to Xiao's house overnight, but who knew that the night was too dark and I turned around in the wrong direction, and came to this unknown courtyard in a daze.

"Whose house is this, it's so elegant." Du Yan stood still, looked at it by the moonlight, and couldn't help but praise in his heart.

The back garden of this house is very large, nearly [-] acres in size, surrounded by various flowers, plants and trees, and various pavilions and lofts. The most beautiful and pleasant is the pool in the middle of the garden. Lotus: on the surface of the winding andtwisting lotus pond floated an endless field of leaves.the leaves lay high in the water, rising up like the skirts of a dancing girl.Among the layers ofleaves white blossoms adorned the vista, some beguilingly open and othersbashfully holding their petals in their petals; just like bright pearls or starsin a blue sky, or like roses just emerging from their bath. beauty.a gentlebreeze floated by, bringing with it waves of a crisp fragrance like strains of a vague melody sent from distant towering buildings.At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled a little, like lightning, and instantly passed to the other side of the lotus pond...

Being alone in this magnificent night scene, Du Yan was a little intoxicated. He couldn't help but think of the famous "Lotus Pond Moonlight" that he had repeatedly recited when he was young. He was indeed a little tired after the ups and downs these days. He was also a little apprehensive about how he would go on in the future.

"Someone is coming." A gust of wind blew by, and Du Yan was clever.At this time, the two people seen from a distance came from the front yard, and the one in front was holding a lantern. Seeing this, Du Yan hurriedly found a hidden place and got up. After the other party passed by, he followed quietly until he came to the garden. In a small yard next to it, only that yard was still lit.

Wearing a long silk gown with gold-rimmed glasses, Tong Dagang stopped at the gate of the small courtyard, and said to Butler Ding who was carrying a lantern: "Be careful what you say later, and don't let the old lady know about Guowei. "

"Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely not talk nonsense." Butler Ding said with a nod and bow.

Now Tong Dagang felt relieved, straightened his clothes, enriched his expression, and tried his best to pretend that nothing happened before knocking on the door.

After a while, a young woman opened the courtyard door, and Tong Dagang hurriedly asked: "How is the old lady today, how is the food?" In the small courtyard in the back garden lived the old lady of the Tong family, that is, Tong Guowei's nainai. , Tong Dagang is a filial son who comes to greet his old mother almost every night.

"No, the old lady didn't eat dinner, she just prayed to Buddha and recited scriptures." The young woman shook her head and said, the old lady who didn't know what happened in the front yard knew about it.

"Mother, I'm here to see you." Tong Dagang's heart sank, but he walked in calmly and said to the old lady who was reciting scriptures with her eyes closed.

"Is it Guowei back! Is it Guowei coming back!" Hearing her son's voice, the seemingly calm-hearted old lady Tong immediately opened her eyes and stood up and shouted.

"Guowei, he's fine, he'll be back soon." Tong Dagang said pretending to be calm: "Don't worry when you get old."

"Don't worry? How can I not be worried? Your Tong family has only three generations. If Guowei has a three-year-old Tong family, the Tong family will die." Mrs. Tong said hoarsely: "If that's the case, I won't live anymore."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm going to dig three feet to get Guowei back." Tong Dagang was afraid of something, so he had to promise: "Mr. Zhai also sent people to search the whole city, and there will be people soon It worked out."

"Gang Gang, they kidnapped Guowei for money. No matter how much money they want, you must agree to it!" Mrs. Tong seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said: "I still have some private money here, and you must take it. Redeem the country's prestige."

"Okay, okay!" At this moment, no matter what the old lady said, Tong Dagang could only respond first, but she was complaining in her heart. Amazing character.If it were money, it would be simple. Although Tong's family has not been as good as before since the Republic of China, the money has not been lacking. I dare not say that there are still four to five million yuan in cash.

The people in the room were talking loudly, and there was silence outside, so Du Yan, who was hiding at the side, heard it clearly, and a thought immediately crept into his mind.Originally, he didn't think of how to deal with Tong Guowei when he was detained. He just thought that this thing was too bastard.After this idea came to mind, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was too sorry for not slaughtering this bastard. As for his dog's life, let's make a note, someone will take care of him in a few months.

Just do what you say, and when Tong Dagang and the housekeeper left the back garden, Du Yan immediately climbed out of the fence and disappeared into the thick night.

The next day was a fine day, but Tong Dagang, who was half lying in the chair in the living room, was in a bad mood. The news that came from a sleepless night was not at all clear. According to the current information, it seems that Tong Guowei has been kidnapped out of the city. Go, this will cause a lot of trouble.

"Master, master, I'm back, I'm back!" Butler Ding, who had been waiting at the gate, ran in out of breath and said.

"He's back? You mean Guowei is back!" Tong Dagang jumped up from the grand teacher's chair and asked excitedly, "Where is the person? Where is the person?"

"It's not that the young master is back, it's Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi is back." Butler Ding took a breath before saying, "But he brought the young master's message."

"Xiao Shunzi? Let him in soon!" Although he was very disappointed, Tong Dagang hurriedly asked, at least he had news of his son.

"Master, master!" Without waiting for Butler Ding to answer, Xiao Shunzi scrambled in. When he saw Tong Dagang, he cried with tears and snot in his nose, "Xiao Shunzi almost died to see you." Already!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business, where's the young master?" Tong Dagang kicked Xiao Shunzi angrily and scolded, not knowing why his son likes such things.

"Master, he was kidnapped!" Xiao Shunzi continued to cry, but his eyes kept rolling, for fear that Tong Dagang would kill him in a fit of anger.

"Kidnapped by who? How is it now? How did you come back?" Tong Dagang only cared about his son's life and death, so he couldn't care less about someone like Xiao Shunzi, and asked repeatedly.

"Young master, young master is fine. He was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Party." Xiao Shunzi was very clever and naturally knew how to answer.

"Revolutionary Party? What conditions did the Revolutionary Party set for letting you back?" Tong Dagang frowned and continued to ask. He was not sure if the Revolutionary Party did it, but since the other party released Xiao Shunzi, it was obviously to raise conditions. of.

"This, this is what they asked me to bring back for you." Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly took out a note from his pocket and handed it tremblingly.

"Go down and get ten dollars from the account room." Tong Dagang glanced at the note in a hurry, waved his hand and said, "Butler Ding, call Long Wu!"

After both of them went down, Tong Dagang half-lyed back in the grand master's chair, but his previous coercion and confidence returned to his face.

"Hmph! 20 oceans, and only gold bars and foreign currency, what a big deal!" Tong Dagang said to himself, "I don't care if you are a revolutionary party or anyone else, you are courting death if you provoke me!" Come here, the annual salary is only about [-] yuan.

A moment later, Long Wu walked into the living room of Tong's mansion, left in a hurry after receiving Tong Dagang's instruction, and ran straight to the direction of the Banner Corps' garrison...

At 05:30 that afternoon, Tong Dagang was pacing up and down in the living room restlessly. At this time, he regretted the arrangement in the morning. 20 oceans of gold bars and foreign currency can still be obtained from the mansion, but this is the first time he has been blackmailed and blackmailed to grow up so big. He is a bit unwilling. The Tong family's face in Qingzhou is not so easy to expose.Tongjia Manchurian Banner Inlaid Yellow Banner is a descendant of Tong Guowei, the head of the state during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. He was an official in Qingzhou several generations ago and has been in charge of Qingzhou's banner soldiers. He is a well-known Manchu nobleman in Qingzhou and even in Shandong.

"How? Did anyone catch it?" Seeing Long Wu coming in from the outside, Tong Guowei asked anxiously.

"No, I only found this." Long Wu shook his head and handed over a bag and a piece of paper. The piece of paper was written in blood: If you dare to play tricks again, I will collect your son's body!The ransom rose to 30, as long as gold bars and foreign currency!The location and time are waiting for further notice! "

"What's in here?" Tong Dagang's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to open the bag.

"Little finger, I'm afraid it belongs to the young master." Long Wu bit the bullet and said: "The master still pays the ransom!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Tong Dagang slumped on the teacher's chair, waved his hands weakly and said, "Call the housekeeper and accountant over."

That night in Yidu, the garrison office, the garrison of the Banner Corps, and the county government were attacked. Many officers and soldiers were killed and injured. At the same time, the streets and lanes of Qingzhou City were covered with propaganda slogans and notices of the Northern Expedition.After a long wait, the Tong family received a secret letter from an unknown person. < The humanoid Gang Leader Tong was also sent back to the Tong Mansion.
