A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 22

1,

Liu Changlin, the shopkeeper of Su Maoyong, is not a native of Haizhou. A few years ago, Wen Qingyun went to work in other places and stayed in a black shop on the way. Fortunately, he reminded him that he did not suffer.After a while, Liu Changlin went to Maoyong with the famous post Wen Qingyun gave him, and asked to be a clerk, with food and shelter. Wen Qingyun naturally agreed, and of course he would not let him do some moving. For heavy work, stay at the front and greet the guests, greet and send them off.After a long time, Liu Changlin's kindness, carefulness, and politeness in dealing with others fell into Wen Qingyun's eyes little by little. When the shopkeeper at that time resigned, he was promoted.This is Wen Qingyun's insight, using Liu Changlin is better than those old buddies, at least he will only be loyal to her.

This time, he was ordered to go to Shanghai to supervise the transportation of medicines back to Haizhou, and it took a lot of trouble along the way.As soon as the cargo ship leaves the Huangpu River wharf, the customs police from the Ministry of Industry in the Concession are watching closely—the British and the French do not want to offend the Japanese, and it is okay to bully the Chinese. The Japanese warship is parked at Wusongkou. Those who left were fanatical soldiers and ronin who were more fanatical than soldiers and prepared to sacrifice their lives for the empire. They might rush into a certain consulate at any time and assassinate them with a piece of jade.They came to China to make a fortune, and they didn't need to risk their lives.If it wasn't for Liu Changlin's cleverness, who prepared enough red envelopes in advance, and Wen Qingyun's relationship with Wen Qingyun to issue a pass at the Nanjing Presidential Palace, plus the face of Shanghai's famous doctor Shen Xiaoduan, this ship of medicines would not be able to leave Shanghai.

The cargo ship was about to approach the Qiangwei River wharf, but Liu Changlin still did not dare to relax at all. The so-called 81 was eighty times sad, and there was still one last step left—according to Wen Qingyun's arrangement, this batch of goods would not go into Maoyong's warehouse, but directly at the wharf. It was unloaded and loaded on a truck, and transported away overnight. As for where it was sent to and who the recipient was, even he, the shopkeeper, didn't know.He knows his duty, and his boss doesn't talk about it, and he won't ask more questions.

There are two piers in Haizhou City, Dapu Pier is a big wharf for shipping, and Qiangweihe Wharf is a small wharf for inland rivers.Dapu Wharf is the terminal seaport of the Longhai Railway that Shen Yunpei delineated at the beginning. It is under the jurisdiction of the Longhai Railway Bureau and directly under the Ministry of Railways. It uses a steel-wood hybrid structure with a beautiful design and is durable.The Qiangwei River Wharf is much shabby in comparison. In fact, it hasn’t changed much in these years. Every year, the government says it needs to be repaired and expanded, and so on. It needs to be allocated to the provincial government. By the way, it needs to be raised from businesses. However, there was no movement. Most of the reasons for the reply to the superiors were natural disasters, drought, flood, wind and rain, all can delay the construction period, so there is no need to talk nonsense to the common people. Anyway, no one dares to ask.So there is a saying "every year calls for repairs every year and falls into disrepair every year" is here.There is another difference between the two piers. Dapu Wharf is intensively inspected by the customs, while Qiangweihe Wharf has been opened by the customs intentionally or unintentionally because there are few big merchants including Maoyong in recent years. neglect.

Wen Qingyun personally took the staff to stand on the bridge, looking up, the night was already very deep, the sky was overcast, there was no trace of starlight, the river was dense, and there was a smell of rotting animal corpses, Wen Qingyun remembered , It has not rained for more than a month. I don’t know if this kind of night phenomenon means that there will be heavy rain tomorrow, so as to save the crops waiting to be watered.The Lord Tian seemed to have heard her prayer, and there was a sudden thunderclap, and then big raindrops poured down from the sky with a crack in it.Wen Qingyun shivered, and was just about to find a sheltered place to shelter from the rain when the boat arrived.

There was a grandma who commanded the scene in the heavy rain, and the guys spared no effort to evacuate the cargo in a single stick of incense. Someone whistled and waited for a truck in the woods on the shore not far away. Come here.The car was purchased for Maoyong four years ago. The domestic Minsheng brand was produced by Fengtian Minsheng Company. Now it has disappeared and has become a Japanese military factory.This kind of car has a lot of cargo and is fast, but it is noisy, but it is all eliminated by the sound of rain.The guys here were busy loading the cars, and Gao Wang arrived with Shen Xiaofang.She didn't come close, but gestured to Wen Qingyun from a distance, and Wen Qingyun dropped her head and walked over there.

When she got closer, she looked behind them and asked, "Did no one notice when we went out?"

Gao Wang shook his head, and replied, "No, I dismissed all the young masters and misses. I promise no one will see you come out from the corner gate of the garden."

"That's good." Wen Qingyun thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Third brother, hurry up and get on the boat and meet the car at the Rizhao branch. Go!"

Shen Xiaofang was stunned, the original plan was to let him leave with the medicine, so that he could feel more at ease.Seeing the dignified look of the sister-in-law, he smiled and said, "Is the sister-in-law afraid of losing both people and goods..."

"Yes," Wen Qingyun said without hesitation, "Medicine is a contraband, and people are wanted criminals. The goal is too big together, and it's safer to go your own way. Don't forget, Gu Fgan has already set his sights on you."

"But……"

"Don't worry, let's go." Wen Qingyun pushed Shen Xiaofang, "Remember, if you don't see the car within two days, you can go by yourself. It doesn't matter if you lose the medicine. We can find a way, but people must not Something happened. Do you know?"

Shen Xiaofang felt Wen Qingyun's wry smile, so he had no choice but to obey.He quietly followed Gao Wang to the bow of the boat. He was dressed tightly, wearing a big bamboo hat, and his head was bowed. No one could see the true face of Lushan.The owner of the cargo ship negotiated the price with Gao Wang, put down the gangway for Shen Xiaofang to go up, pulled up the sail, and left slowly along the river.Wen Qingyun looked at it for a while, until the shadow of the boat completely disappeared, then looked away, and said to Gao Wang, "Let's go, we have to send the car out of the city." Then he looked at Liu Changlin, who had been standing by Ling's side directing the loading of the car, and said, "Liu Shopkeeper, it’s been hard work for you this trip. Take the guys back. Give each of the guys a piece of ocean later, the guys are all drenched, don’t forget to ask the kitchen to boil a pot of ginger soup to dispel the cold.” Liu Changlin lifted it He seemed to want to say something, but held back.

After getting into the truck, Gao Wang smiled and said, "Grandma, you are too careful. In fact, I can send the car out of the city by myself. I have fed the brothers guarding the city at the south gate. Nothing will happen."

Wen Qingyun also laughed, after being busy for half a night, she felt a little tired, age is not forgiving, when she was young, she tried to keep her eyes open for several days and nights, and she didn't feel anything, but now she can't do it.After waiting for a while, he answered Gao Wang and said, "It's better to be careful, and be careful when sailing for ten thousand years."

"That's that, that's that." Gao Wang nodded, seeing the tiredness all over her body, and didn't say any more.Wen Qingyun bumped all the way and fell asleep.

When the car arrived at the south gate, the rain had subsided a bit. Gao Wang saw the soldiers guarding the city standing in two rows at the gate. Stop, jump out of the car and say hello to their heads, and they will always come and go frequently in the future.As soon as he got out of the car, he heard the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun. The headlights of the truck were shining, and the searchlight hanging on the city wall suddenly turned on. Gao Wang squinted his eyes, and was shocked to find that the guns of the soldiers were aimed at him!Gu Fagaan and Guan Wu, head of the customs anti-smuggling brigade, walked out of the city gate. The two rows were not soldiers at all, but policemen brought by Gu Fgan.

Wen Qingyun in the car had already woken up, and the situation in front of her was clear. Gu Fgan didn't know where to get the news about the batch of medicines, and brought the customs to arrest people.As long as they got into the car in a short while, no matter whether Shen Xiaofang was there or not, they would all get the stolen goods. The crime of smuggling contraband is enough to implicate Maoyong and even the Shen family.At that time, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect them.Coupled with Shen Xiaofang's trumped-up charge of being a traitor, this time, the Shen family will undoubtedly die.Thanks to Shen Xiaofang who changed his path early, there might still be a glimmer of hope.In the blink of an eye, she decided to take a gamble.Gamble with her life to see if God is on her side.

Wen Qingyun was sitting in the car, and Lang Sheng asked: "The one in front is Director Gu. It's so late, why don't you rest? It's hard for you to work so hard. It's really a blessing for us people."

Gu Fagan laughed loudly, "Grandma, you really know how to joke. If the people are willing to abide by the law, how can I not sleep well?"

"Director Gu is worrying too much," Wen Qingyun pushed the driver and signaled him to drive closer slowly, "I can't guarantee it for others, but my shipment has a pass, which was specially signed by Tong Xuegeng, county magistrate Tong. ..."

A piece of paper was handed out from the car window, Gu Fgan took it, looked at it, and tore it in half on the spot.

"Grandma, you should know that the customs anti-smuggling and our police station have always cooperated with each other and reported directly to the provincial department. Magistrate Tong can't control this. Stop!" Gu Fagan took out his pistol, "I order you to stop immediately! Grandma, I'm sorry, anyone who wants to leave the city today will be checked."

"Director Gu, you openly tore up your superior's warrant, aren't you afraid of punishment?"

"This is my business, don't bother grandma. Please get off the car, grandma, we need to check!"

"What if I disagree?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude, come and stop me!"

"I don't think any of you dare? This is the goods that are going to Zhenjiang, which will delay my important event. You all have to move your heads!"

Wen Qingyun's words had a deterrent effect, everyone knew that she had all eyes and hands, and if they really caused trouble, Gu Fgan would not help them take the blame, and in the end it was their group who were unlucky.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and stopped for half a beat. Taking advantage of this time, Wen Qingyun whispered to the driver: "Rush over!" The driver was startled, and then listened to her unquestionable order, "Quick, rush over! What's the matter?" I'll take care of it!"

Gu Fgan never dreamed that Wen Qingyun would have the guts to break into the city gate at gunpoint. The truck stepped up and blew past like the wind, splashing a lot of mud and falling on the policeman's trouser legs.The policemen looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that the person in the car was the number one person in Haizhou, even with Gu Fagan's frantic order, they did not dare to act rashly.

Gu Fgan fired the first shot, and the bullet hit the carriage, making a crisp metal impact sound.Gao Wang's pleading "don't shoot" and the policemen's unhurried and perfunctory shooting intertwined in the dark night, sending the truck into the vast night.Gu Fagaan wanted to organize people to chase him, and when his subordinates drove the car to the city gate, the truck he was chasing had long since disappeared.He grabbed the nearest subordinate and slapped him hard twice.

"Trash, idiots, bastards, why did I raise you worthless bastards, get out, get out!"

The beaten rolled and crawled to the side, lowered his head and rubbed his face, Gu Fagaan realized that Gao Wang was still standing there, and sneered, "Is the senior executive? Take me back!"

2,

After confirming that there were no pursuers, Wen Qingyun got out of the car and told the frightened driver to rush to Rizhao immediately according to the original plan, "Be smart, someone is there to meet you. If you see anything wrong, don't worry about anything else." Don't worry about it, save your life, you know? When you come back, come to my house to find me, and I will take care of the rest of your life." The driver nodded, obviously not fully awake yet.Wen Qingyun didn't care about him anymore, she had to rush to Zhenjiang, the provincial capital, and get an exemption order from the police department, so that she could lead the Shen family out of this catastrophe.

As she walked along the way, she thought, how many years has it been so thrilling?She shook her head helplessly.This life is really unyielding, she has killed people, broke through the city, and other women have experienced all the things that may not be encountered in a few lifetimes, she has seen all of them, and she has done them.I didn't think I was bold before, and I was born as a lady, and I grew up reading the biographies of women and the three obediences and four virtues, so why am I different from others?She thought that at this age, when the children are older, she should live a more stable life, but looking at it now, more exciting things are yet to come.This is fate, everyone has their own fate, you can't force it, no wonder, and you can't change it.If you have to think about the good, you can only say that fortunately these things happened to her, if it were her son or daughter, she would definitely go crazy.But like this, the more danger is approaching, the less she knows to be afraid.Anyway, I have to go on, I have the time and strength to be afraid, why don't I think about what to do...

The gate of Shen's house was full of police officers, and Gu Fakan ordered overnight to completely seal off Shen's house, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.Seeing Wen Qingyun, he immediately escorted her to the police station.While arranging people to interrogate Gao Wang quickly, he called his adoptive father Gu Baoshan, who was transferred to Sichuan and served as the vice chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government, and asked him to communicate with the Jiangsu Provincial Government, which cut off Wen Qingyun's way to rescue soldiers.When the time comes, she will have nowhere to ask, so why not come back obediently?
Except for Shen Jie and Shen Jia, the rest of the Shen family stayed up all night in the living room. The absence of those two was because one was injured after being beaten and couldn't get off the ground, and the other said that he wanted to take care of him.

The living room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of wind blowing leaves falling on the ground and puddles.From Shen Xiaoru to Shen Xuan and Shen Zhi, everyone's eyes were dull, they either looked at the ground or the beams, their hearts were troubled, but they didn't make a sound.Only Shen Hao was the most excited, striding across the ground.

"How did this happen? Is Madam confused? It's dangerous to break into the city gate, and the gun doesn't have eyes. What if something happens?" He didn't need anyone to answer, turned around and continued, "Now Gao Wang is being arrested. Locked up, the car broke out, we can't tell. Dad, do you know what that car is? It's a contraband, it's a medicinal material!"

Shen Xiaoru raised his eyes to look, and remained silent.

"If you want me to say, the most important thing now is to clean up the Haigan Company. Maoyong will definitely not be able to keep it. Someone has to put up the seal before dawn. Don't implicate other businesses. It's a pity that we can't go out, or it's okay Arrange it." Shen Hao sighed, "What kind of enmity does Director Gu have with our family? Before, he made a big fuss to catch the traitors. Now that this kind of thing is happening again, it is clearly aimed at us. No, I want to talk to him, Dad, What do you say?"

"Yeah, I can still find out some news. Let's see what's going on, mother." Shen Zhi managed to swallow a few words, but luckily no one noticed.

Shen Hao nodded, "Of course, I think so too..."

Shen Cheng couldn't help but said: "Brother, there are so many policemen standing outside the door, how did you get out?"

Seeing that there was another impracticable road, the girls who had felt hopeful just now lowered their heads again.They really want to know the news from outside, how Wen Qingyun is, whether Shen Xiaofang has passed the test, so they were a little excited when Shen Hao proposed such an unrealistic plan just now.So the blow is even heavier.

Shen Xiaoru finally remembered his responsibilities as the head of the family, and waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, let's all go back and rest. I think this night is enough for everyone. Anyway, it's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. You all go back Go ahead, Haoer, you stay."

Shen Xiaoru's life is casual, and it is his blessing that there is always someone to share for him when troubles arise.Now he is counting on Shen Hao, and he can only count on Shen Hao——Shen Jie is still young, and Shen Cheng is an outsider. He stared into Shen Hao's eyes and asked: "There were a lot of people just now, but now it's just the two of us. Tell me about yours." Method?"

It was rare for Shen Hao to be highly valued, so he cheered up immediately, and said: "Father, the crime of traitor and drug smuggling are serious crimes. Once it is implemented, our family will be in great trouble. I don't think it's better that there is no conclusive evidence to ensure that the same is the same. The most important thing is Haigan, as long as Haigan can be kept, our family will still have a chance to turn around in the future."

Shen Xiaoru nodded, "Your idea is correct, but how can you protect it? I don't know where your mother went, I have no idea at all..."

"Father, listen to me, there is a way now, which is to separate Haigan from the Shen family's property, find a trustworthy person to inject capital, and let him own more shares, then Shanghai Gan in name does not belong to us. No matter what happens to the Shen family, it will not be involved." Shen Hao said so, looking at Shen Xiaoru expectantly.

Even if Shen Xiaoru is not good at business, he also understands that this matter is no small matter, if there is a slight omission, Haigan will be gone.He thought for a while, then shook his head, "I can't make a decision on this matter, I'd better wait for your aunt to come back before making a decision."

Shen Hao sneered, "Father, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Shen Xiaoru stood up, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and it's the Shen family's luck if it's too late. It's nothing."

3,

Shen Hao's joy vanished, and when he entered the west courtyard, he burst out his forbearable anger and kicked a celadon vase by the wall, startling both Dongmei and Wei Ruoting.

Dongmei walked in front, distressed and puzzled, and asked: "Who is this who is mad at you? Well, what are you kicking it for? It doesn't matter if it is broken, what can you do if it hurts you?"

Shen Hao sneered: "Now that the house is going to be destroyed, I still care about it?"

Dongmei said: "If the Shen family is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Let's live our lives. Mother only wants you to be well..."

Shen Hao waved his hand and pulled Dongmei aside, "What's the use of me? The business is gone, you let me drink the northwest wind?"

Wei Ruoting persuaded in a low voice, "Mother didn't mean that."

Shen Hao gave her a disgusted look, "I'm talking to my mother, when is it your turn to interrupt?"

Wei Ruoting flinched, her head was so low that she couldn't see, she almost wanted to stuff herself into a certain hole.

Dongmei didn't take Shen Hao's reprimand seriously, "Look at what you said, how can you have nothing all of a sudden? Mother can't plan for the future, don't worry, I have already prepared, enough for us mothers to spend a lifetime."

"Forget it, forget it, I can't explain it to you." Shen Hao wanted to say, the sparrows know the ambitions of the swans, and they probably still can't understand, so they simply sneered and expressed their disdain.

Dongmei and Wei Ruoting didn't know what he was thinking. The current crisis of the Shen family actually seemed to him a great opportunity. The master of the house, the real head of the house, who would dare to underestimate him and say what he said?They would just kneel before him, begging him for alms, begging him for mercy...

To say that this matter is not difficult, just like what he said to Shen Xiaoru just now, find someone to inject capital immediately-the candidate is ready-made, that is, his benefactor and confidant, the Japanese Kofune Tsushima who came to visit a few days ago, has strength He is also willing to help him by signing a transfer document, which is also nominal. He has already negotiated with Xiaochuan Tsushima to put the shares under his name, and the principal will be repaid in ten years without interest.With such a good condition, it was Shen Xiaoru who got in the way.What is it if you are not old and confused?Could it be that he would rather destroy Hai Gan than hand it over to him?No, he can't let the opportunity go by in vain. Before Wen Qingyun comes back, he must make it happen.Thinking of this, Shen Hao changed his clothes, walked to the corner gate facing the street, and solemnly told the policeman guarding the gate that he wanted to see Chief Gu Fagaan and had something important to report.The policeman was confused by Shen Hao's straightforwardness, and he didn't know how to refuse. A call was swayed to the director's office, and before he could speak, Shen Hao took it again, "I will tell you, Director Gu, personally."

"Director Gu, I'm going to surrender, are you welcome?"

Gu Fagaan's office is like a prison with gorgeous decorations, with three layers of guards standing at the door, European chandeliers and Persian carpets inside the door, fences outside the windows, desk lamps are American products, and illuminate the rare white leather sofa in Manhaizhou.

Gu Fgan looked at Shen Hao who kept saying he wanted to negotiate a deal with him, and asked, "You are from the Shen family, why should I trust you?"

"Because Chief Gu is a smart person," Shen Hao said, neither humble nor overbearing, "I know all about the grievances between you and our family. It's not surprising, I remember things early, especially when I heard about the major incidents of beatings, looting, murder and arson. I also know Zhong Han You killed him. Yes, the whole city of Haizhou knows it. If Gu Baoshan is smarter than you, Zhong Han is the one who got the benefits. Being retaliated against. Do you think that my aunt hasn't mentioned this matter all these years, but she really forgot? She is waiting for a chance, and one day, she will kill you for revenge. "

Gu Fagan was covered in cold sweat, and his mouth was still clenched, "I, Gu Fagan, am not a vegetarian. Don't scare me. I don't need to wait for her to come to me. I will kill your Shen family. Do you believe it?"

"What if I can let you make a lot of money before we end up with us? Isn't it better?" Shen Hao lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said with a smile.

Gu Fgan finally determined Shen Hao's purpose. This is a traitor of the Shen family, surnamed Shen, but he wished for the death of the Shen family.He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt a feeling of meeting a confidant.Listening to Shen Hao's plan, "You have sealed up Maoyong now. This is the Shen family's first business. My grandfather said when he died that we must keep it. So the grandma will spare no effort to manage it up and down. Money must be used." Where did such a large amount of money come from? These years, the Shen family has looked vigorous, but it is actually an empty shelf. If she wants to get money from Xiang, she has to sell a part of the shares of Haigan, or mortgage them. I have a way to get these shares in my hands .At that time, you will also become one of the shareholders. Let's make a fortune together."

Gu Fagaan said: "If I want to make a fortune, wouldn't it be faster if I hold my grandma in my hands? Two charges are enough for your family to drink a pot."

"But these two charges of yours are unsubstantiated. You said that my third uncle hid in Shen's house, but no one was found? You said smuggling banned drugs, who saw it?"

"I have evidence, someone reported..."

"What about people?"

Gu Fgan was annoyed at being forced to question, "Call the report, how do I know who it is."

"So you are just listening to one side and trusting the other. There is no evidence of abuse of power. Grandma hasn't come back yet, so she must have arrived in Zhenjiang. When she finds an acquaintance, she can go all the way up until she bites you to death. You Still want her to give you money? Even if she pours all the money into the Qiangwei River, she won't give you a dime. Director Gu, you still don't know her too well."

Gu Fgan understood that what Shen Hao said was true.In this matter, he was eager for quick success and ignored some important things.It may be too late to make up for it now.

Seeing that his intimidation and lure had worked, Shen Hao relaxed his tone and said with a smile, "So Director Gu, don't worry. From now on, I will completely control the power in my hands. You can deal with them whatever you want."

Gu Fgan nodded: "There is one more thing I don't quite understand."

"My lord, please ask."

"What did the Shen family do to you? Do you hate them so much?"

"Director Gu, you are also like a wife, you will know when they give birth to a son!" After speaking, she turned and prepared to leave.

"One more thing." Gu Facan asked, "Is it you who called to report?"

Shen Hao smiled, put his hand on the doorknob, turned around and looked at Gu Fagagan and replied, "Director Gu, what are you kidding, how could I betray my home?"

4,

This morning, another major event happened in the Shen family. Shen Jia left a letter and left.This incident was discovered by Shen Zhi after returning to her room. Originally, she thought that Shen Jia was taking care of the third brother in the south courtyard, but when she saw the book left under the window sill, she thought it was the eccentric Shen Jia joking with her.The twins share the same mind, and they often play small games, such as one writing something on a piece of paper, and the other guessing, even guessing with confusion, and being able to get it right three times out of ten.This is already remarkable, if it were someone else, it might not be right three times out of a hundred.But this time Shen Zhi was obviously surprised, Shen Jia actually said that she would follow Third Uncle and go to the Northeast Front... She panicked and wanted to report to Shen Xiaoru immediately, but Shen Xuan found out and stopped her.

"No, at this time, Dad is already worrying enough. If he finds out, he must be seriously ill." Shen Xuan bit her lip and thought for a while, "I think so, let's look around first, the second sister is naughty, maybe It’s just to tease us. Maybe after a while, she will run out by herself. It must be, the police are guarding the door, no one can get out, and she can still fly?”

Shen Zhi was not sure, so she nodded her head in agreement after hearing what Shen Xuan said.The two girls' strength was limited, so Shen Xuan approached Shen Cheng and explained the matter and her own analysis again.

"You're right, you can't add trouble to the family right now." Shen Cheng folded the letter, put it in his arms and said, "Mother told me to look at Shen Cheng before, afraid that he would be impulsive and do something stupid." , I was negligent, I didn't expect it to be the second sister."

Shen Xuan said: "Don't blame yourself at this time, let's look separately. Shen Cheng, you go to the garden, Shen Zhi, follow me, let's look at each yard."

"I don't think she's in the yard." Shen Cheng said, "If she hasn't gotten out by now, she should have shown up long ago. Don't move around, it's not good for others to see. I think There is no way to get out. If she wants to go to the northeast, she has to take a boat from the pier. I remember that there is a boat going to Qingdao today. She brought it back."

It was not easy to go out at this time, the police surrounded Shen's house tightly, Xiao Duozi went to the countryside to collect the bills the day before yesterday, and when he came back, he was startled by the battle in front of him.Find a familiar face in the police station, lean over and ask, "Dude, what's the matter? Are you standing guard here early in the morning?"

The policeman's surname is Li, and his home is in the front alley. Knowing that this is the second housekeeper of the Shen family, he smiled wryly, "You think we are willing to stand for half a night, and we won't let you out, but if you go in, it's the wrong way."

Xiao Duozi rolled his eyes, happy, "I've gone in, I can't get out, it's like being locked in a cage, I'm stupid, I won't go in, I'll watch here with you."

The policemen who heard it were overjoyed and didn't take him seriously.Xiao Duozi stood for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he circled around the base of the wall, the back door of the west courtyard was also blocked, and two policemen were leaning against a tree to smoke.There was also someone at the corner gate of the garden, new to each other, it was the first time we met, and they were fighting with Shen Cheng who wanted to break out.

"Master, don't force me, be careful with the gun!" Cao Baogen said indistinctly, holding the gun as if he was holding a split wood.

Shen Cheng was upset, and pushed the muzzle of the gun away, scaring Xiao Duozi into a cold sweat. This young master is really daring, didn't he know that if he fired the gun, his life would be gone?Hurry up and pull over Cao Baogen, who was about to turn his face, and said with a smile: "Men, man, look at me, don't be like a child."

A few days after Cao Baogen became a policeman, his family sold the errand that the old scalper found for him. He didn't see the majesty and wealth, and his first job was to stand guard at the gate for others. He stood there in the middle of the night, hungry. In the middle of the night, I felt suffocated and angry, and met with Shen Cheng's attitude of not paying attention to him, let alone getting angry, all directed at Xiao Duozi, "Go away, perform official duties, you think I can't open A gun, isn't it?"

Xiao Duozi hurriedly flashed, didn't move back, but took another step closer, but avoided the muzzle of the gun, "Calm down, it's really not a big deal, our young master has something important to see a friend, if you like, just Be flexible, we will remember your kindness, if you don’t allow it, we can’t say anything else, shouldn’t we just go back?”

Only then did Cao Baogen take a closer look at Xiaoduozi—it was called Xiaoduozi, the habit of the Shen family for many years, but he was actually a man in his forties, with some gray hair on his temples, and he was always good-natured, he couldn't It didn't work, and the gun was put down, "Who are you from this family?"

"Second housekeeper, don't you look alike?" Xiao Duozi said, winking at Shen Cheng and letting him go in first, but Shen Cheng didn't move, and seemed to rush out.

Cao Baogen smiled, showing the simple and honest face of a countryman, "Look at what you said, what's wrong with this." After speaking, he also glanced at Shen Cheng, "Young master, go back, it's not that I don't let you go, but the superiors Don't let them out."

Xiao Duozi handed over a pack of cigarettes, which he just bought at the gate of the city, unopened, and stuffed it into Cao Baogen's hands, "Man, if not, I'll give you an accommodation, you let him out for an hour, just an hour , After finishing the work, he will come back without anyone noticing, and will not delay your errand."

Cao Baogen shook his head and accepted the cigarettes, but this matter cannot be agreed, "Brother housekeeper, don't embarrass me. It's not easy for me to get into this job. The family sold the cow, so they can count on me to make a fortune. I can't do anything wrong. I haven't married yet. Where is the daughter-in-law?"

Shen Cheng finally got a little enlightened, took out a few dollars from his pocket, and handed them forward in a daze.

Xiao Duozi thought, after all, it is the young master who has no experience, how can anyone who pays bribes get stuck?I had no choice but to take it by myself first, and then stuffed it into Cao Baogen's hands, and a cow of money came back.

"I didn't see anything, I didn't know anything, no one came here at all." Cao Baogen blushed, and told the first lie in his career, and soon he got used to it, and never blushed again.

Shen Cheng ran all the way to the pier, but it was a pity that he was one step too late, and the boat to Qingdao in 10 minutes had already left.He looked at the remaining ripples on the water and sighed helplessly.

5,

Liu Changlin didn't go back to Maoyong last night, but followed Wen Qingyun's rut ​​to the south gate.Seeing that something happened here, he ran back to Qiangwei River Wharf without stopping, hired a small boat, and headed straight to Zhenjiang.Knowing that Wen Qingyun rushed out, he went to Zhenjiang to find a way out.You must be waiting there for her.

When Wen Qingyun saw Liu Changlin, the first thing she asked was, "Who are you?"

Liu Changlin was amused, "Master, I am your shopkeeper."

"What are you doing here?"

"Work with you to find a way to save Mao Yong!"

There are not many words, but every sentence is on the joints.Wen Qingyun threw all doubts aside, she intuitively felt that Liu Changlin was not a mortal, but a noble person who could help her through the difficulties.

Seeing no one around, Liu Changlin asked in a low voice, "Boss, whose door are you going to follow?"

Wen Qingyun spit out three words lightly, "Ye Chulan."

"Chairman of the provincial government?" Liu Changlin was surprised. This is the number one official in Jiangsu, a well-known talent, an early member of the Tongmenghui, who can speak in front of Generalissimo Jiang. A small businessman and grandma can actually have friendship with him , It can be seen that it is true that the grandma's hands and eyes are open to the sky.

Wen Qingyun seemed to see through his thoughts, and explained: "Actually, Chairman Ye and I are family friends. When my father went to Zhouzhuang to do business, he lived in their house."

Liu Changlin nodded and asked again, "Then what are you going to say?"

"Tell me the truth." Wen Qingyun had already thought about it, this time when she saw Ye Chulan, she wanted to solve the Shen family's difficulties, and secondly, she wanted to vindicate Shen Xiaofang.He is a national hero, not a traitor!

"Absolutely not!" Liu Changlin was waiting for this, and he was also afraid of this, "Grandma, do you know that the situation is tense now, and the Japanese are making trouble every day and attacking our Rehe Chahar. The north will not live for a day." An Ning, but the Nanjing Nationalist Government was caught in an internal power struggle. Sun Wen had just stepped down from the position of the Executive Yuan, and Chiang Kai-shek was appointed as the chairman of the Military Commission, but the first thing he did when he took office was to sit down and talk with the Japanese! At this moment, the Shen family transported medicinal materials to the Volunteer Army. Mr. Shen killed the enemy every day, angered the Japanese, and ruined the great affairs of the chairman. Dare to take the big crime of sabotaging the peace talks?"

"According to your opinion, what should I say?" Wen Qingyun was convinced at this time.

Liu Changlin said: "Grandma, remember, you must never tell the truth. You have to insist that this batch of silk floss was specially approved by the county magistrate Tong to be transported to Rizhao. Let the matter go to the conflict between the county magistrate Tong and Director Gu. According to the report, they have old grievances, and Gu Fagan relies on Gu Baoshan as his backer, so he doesn't pay attention to the county magistrate. Governor Ye's suggestion, county magistrate Tong is regarded as Governor Ye's protégé, and Gu Fagaan tore up the county magistrate's warrant in order to show the governor's face. When you say it, you might as well lower your posture. To be bullied by these officials..."

Even though she had a lot on her mind, Wen Qingyun was overjoyed when she heard this, "What on earth are you doing? I don't think you are a shopkeeper."

"Then what do you think I look like?"

"A person who teaches acting is a buzzword called a director!"

Regardless of whether it's acting or not, Wen Qingyun knows that the most important thing right now is to keep the Shen family, and there will be a chance to settle the grievances and grievances with Gu Fagan for so many years in the future.To her great disappointment, after listening to her statement, Ye Chulan only expressed sympathy, and Maoyong could not escape being seized in the end—"As long as you have never done it, you are not afraid of investigation!" Chairman Ye said.But it's not nothing, at least under his interference, Gu Fagan didn't dare to touch anyone in the Shen family, and even the matter of Wen Qingyun breaking into the city was ignored.He gritted his teeth and swallowed, and evacuated all the policemen at the gate of Shen's house. Wen Qingyun returned to Haizhou without any disturbance on the surface.
