Republic of China small businessman

It was quiet in the teahouse.

But it doesn't mean that there are few people. There are guards standing behind Master Jiu on the left and right, and on both sides are a whole row of soldiers with live ammunition.

Master Jiu drank half a cup of tea and looked up at the person who came in.

The head of the Qinglong Society felt a little weak as soon as he came in. He is no longer the age that he dared to fight a few years ago. After enjoying a few years of blessings, he is more likely to show timidity. He saluted and said hello.

Master Jiu twirled the teacup half a circle in his hand and asked him, "Are you the leader of the Azure Dragon Association?"

"Don't dare to take it, my brothers praise it, it's all just shouting like this on weekdays." The head of the family replied, pretending to be calm.

There was a noise at the door, and some thugs in black brought up a stretcher. Lying on it was Li Defa, the head of the Seventh House, probably running in a hurry. As soon as he stopped and put it on the ground, he couldn't help coughing repeatedly.

The head of the family glanced over there, and winked at the other party, asking him to speak.

Li Defa's face was pale, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he clenched his neck and gritted his teeth: "Our brothers don't know that the troupe's martial artist belongs to Lord Nine and offended him, but I have been seriously injured by him, and I didn't seek revenge a few days ago. I just wanted to find someone to come out and ask a few questions..."

Jiu Ye put down his teacup and said in a low voice, "You are not worthy."

The blue veins on Qidangjia's neck were bulging, and his eyes were staring at each other.

The head of the family was not polite, stepped forward and gave him a kick, almost kicked him off the stretcher, and cursed repeatedly: "What's your attitude, didn't I order someone to tell you on the way here? Master, admit your mistake, do you still understand the rules!" After scolding, he turned to Bai Jiu and cupped his hands, "Master Jiu, my seventh brother is a bit younger and acted recklessly, please forgive me."

The Seventh Master was young and energetic, he lowered his eyes after being kicked, and the covered eyes were full of resentment.

Master Jiu said: "You don't have to be like this. I see that you, the seventh brother, don't understand the rules. It's just that you have someone behind you and want to change the rules. It's not easy for you to be a master. After all, there are more than one such people."

The head of the family said a few polite words, but he was not sure what Jiu Ye meant.

Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of military boots outside and someone shouting, and soon a person was dragged in.The wrist bone of the man's right leg twisted to the inside strangely. When he dragged it up, the trouser leg was already soaked with blood. There was a bloodstain, and he was unceremoniously thrown in the hall by two soldiers.

The head of the family recognized him as the second child of the Qinglong Society, and was a little surprised for a moment. His second brother was always called an old fox.The head of the family hurried forward, trying to help the other party, but was stopped by the soldiers. He was a little angry, and asked: "I respect you as a member of the Bai family in Beidi, and you are courteous. It's just that the subordinates had a conflict. I also apologized, what are you going to do?! To set up a lynching like this and damage my two brothers, is there no law for the king!"

An officer who followed behind was wearing a woolen military uniform, with a belt and a gun stock around his waist, and holding a black and shiny riding whip. He walked over with a cold face, "Then do you know where he went?"

The head of the family said angrily: "No matter where you go, you shouldn't be lynched like this?"

"This man acted strangely. He went straight to the Russian camp when he came out of the mansion. On the way, he fired two shots in the street, wounding innocent people. He was captured before the concession." The officer pointed at the lame man on the ground with his horsewhip. He said politely, "General Bai has an order that all collaborators and traitors will be captured and handed over to the local supervisor."

The people on the ground grabbed the sleeve of the head of the family tightly, "Brother, save me, I'm just looking for someone, I, I'm looking for the consul! Even if you want to arrest me, you still have to give evidence——"

"Then dare to ask," Jiu Ye sat in the main seat with his hands in his hands, his tone was flat, his eyes swept across the few people in the hall and finally fell on the second head, "On the [-]th of last month, the two-carriage to Kurqi Drinks, why were they copied?"

The man's voice stopped abruptly, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

How to know the exact compartment, and the materials were confiscated.

That's because someone took advantage and tipped off the Russians.

Throwing a booklet in front of the second boss, he glanced down at the messy paper. The few lines of words written on it were just the records of receiving money from Russians that he had recorded in his daily life. The handwriting was hidden and he couldn't see it for a while Come out, but he hid the account book even more secretly, and felt that it was impossible for ordinary people to find it.

Master Jiu put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly: "If you don't say it, then I will tell it for you. The red pen on the top is recorded as money, and the black pen is for your subordinates to kill innocent people indiscriminately, right?!" After speaking, his eyes were already sharp.

Erdangjia wanted to open his mouth to argue, but soon two more black-clothed thugs who were tied up like zongzi were dragged up. When they saw him, they faltered and yelled loudly.

Er Dangjia stared at the other party with a stiff gaze, cold sweat drenched his back.

Those were the two thugs he valued the most in his daily life, and they were also the ones who killed and buried him most quickly.

Now, with witnesses and evidence, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute a word, and layers of deep fear welled up in his heart.Everything he did in the past was exposed in broad daylight, as if he had been stripped naked, and all the ugly things that were invisible to people were exposed.

The head of the family has been with him for many years, so he naturally knows who is capable under the old second hand, his pupils shrink slightly, and he picks up the booklet before the second head and looks at it, his face soon turns from red to blue, and then anger Throwing the brochure on the second child's head, she cursed, and refused to protect him any more.

Master Jiu said softly: "This matter is not accomplished in a day, and I don't think it can be done by one person."

Lying on the stretcher, the head of Qi dodged his eyes, inexplicably terrified.

It's just that he and the second leader, one was so sick that he coughed up blood and couldn't get off the stretcher, and the other had a broken ankle and couldn't even crawl, so they had to be controlled on the spot.

The supervisor of the local police station came quickly and took down these people from the Qinglonghui. A few black-clothed thugs outside the teahouse saw it, and they didn't have any intention of resisting. Bluffing, seeing the second and seventh leaders being arrested at this moment, they all scattered like birds and beasts, and they didn't dare to confront them head-on.

There were several circles of people around the teahouse. Since the second head of the Qinglong Society was first arrested and dragged in, there has been a lot of discussion.

When the police escorted the two back together, they seemed to be parading through the streets along the way. The two usually domineering in Nanfang. When such a big tiger was caught, it was like a stone thrown into calm water. sparked heated discussions.Some good people followed all the way, from the teahouse to the police station, and some people surrounded the teahouse and did not leave, but they were afraid of the soldiers with guns at the door, so they just surrounded the teahouse from a distance and looked inside.

"I heard it's the Bai family!"

"They actually had a conflict with the Azure Dragon Society. How will they operate in Nanfang in the future?"

"Are you deaf and dazzled? It's not the Bai family in Nanfang, but the Bai family in the provincial capital—that master is here. If it weren't for him, who would have called the soldiers of the governor's mansion?"

"Hey, the Azure Dragon Society has been arrested by two masters in a row, I'm afraid it's going to be over!"

"It should have been rectified a long time ago. Those people from the Azure Dragon Society are domineering and domineering on weekdays, and the local police station doesn't dare to take care of them. Now it's all over. Those people have done a lot of bad things. It's good that they are all arrested, bah!"

……

Everyone was discussing outside, and in the teahouse, only the head of the Qinglong Society was left standing alone in the hall.

Lord Jiu said to him: "Today's matter is really helpless. General Bai hates this traitor the most. If it is not in Nanfang, which does not care about the boundaries, and changes to any other place, I am afraid it will be the same. shot."

The head of the family was pale, standing at Na Nuo Nuo not knowing what to say.

Master Jiu said again: "Since the loss of the two members of the master, it is necessary to make up for it. It happens that I still have a few smart people by my side, so let them follow you to the master to relieve your worries." Master Jiu said Then, a few people stood up behind him and bowed to the head of the family. Although they looked respectful, but there was no expression on their faces. They were obviously Jiu Ye's confidantes.

The head of the family wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse in person, he just said: "My temple here is small, and I can't accommodate such heroes for a while."

Master Jiu said: "It's okay, I'll get used to it slowly."

There was no excuse for what he said, and the head of the family was blocked back.

After Master Jiu gave the order, he took the people away by himself, and the head of the Qinglong Society stayed in the teahouse alone. He looked at the thick face, but his thoughts were full of delicateness.But in a blink of an eye, I figured out the intention of the ninth master of the Bai family. The Bai family in the Northland is not short of money, nor lack of power, but there is only one thing who can look at them, the Qinglong Club-they have a large number of people, and most of them rely on the strength of coachmen. Mainly, they get the fastest and most news on weekdays. Bai Jiuye has taken a fancy to their intelligence network that has not been sorted out yet.

And the people who said they were "compensating" to him may not have simple backgrounds.

It is said that it is compensation, but it is hidden in their hinterland, eating away at them day by day, and replacing them sooner or later.

The leader's face was pale, the other party either saw through the various appearances he had put on just now, or didn't notice him at all, he was just a chess piece that was going to be discarded after use up... All kinds of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes , but eventually turned into gray and lost its light.With his last strength, even if he fights to the death, it will be a life in vain. Bai Jiuye can check the second and seventh to the bottom, and deal with him, it is just a matter of raising his fingers. All kinds of resistance are of no avail.

Figured out the key point, the head of the family seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he slumped on the ground. He knew that the Qinglong Society was over today, and he might change his surname to Bai in the future.

The head of the family lost his power in the teahouse, but the people he ordered before didn't know it, and still obeyed the order and sent a "heavy gift" to Bai Jiuye's mansion.

When they arrived at the door of the bungalow, there was a burst of blowing and beating, and then they carried a fiery red sedan chair around and sent it to the small gate in the backyard.

Xie Jing just watched the whole thing upstairs, and was curious, so she went downstairs to have a look.

At the moment, all the people living in the bungalow were the people from the former East Courtyard of Master Jiu. A steward was yelling at him. When he saw Xie Jing coming, he gave up his seat and said with a frown: "Xiao Xie, you go back, it's just a few rascals causing trouble. Just drive them away."

Xie Jing moved her wrist, stepped forward and said, "I'll take a look too."

When those thugs in black saw Xie Jing, they all bowed their hands and greeted him, but this group of people shouted in a mess, there were no rules, and some people called him "Master".

Xie Jing asked: "Who are you and why did you bring the sedan chair here?"

The other party replied: "We are ordered by the head of the family to present a generous gift to the ninth master of the Bai family."

Said, opened the car curtain.

Sitting on the sedan chair was a smeared actor, even though he was wearing heavy make-up and pretending to be beautiful, he could still be seen as a man. The whole costume was brand new, full of jewels and emeralds, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.He saw Xie Jing and the others trying to raise their heads and smiled. Just considering the jewelry on his body, it was indeed a generous gift.

Xie Jing looked up and down, frowning slightly: "What does this mean?"

The black-clothed thug was very proud, rubbing his hands together and said: "Returning to this little steward, we have already said that Mr. Bai likes folk arts. If you have a martial arts student, why don't you raise a female role? It's also a good pair of dragons and phoenixes to bring good luck." ..." The other party hadn't finished speaking when he saw the officer Xiao Xie standing in front of him turn cold, and he took a wooden stick from the side and walked straight forward, and chopped off the facade of the red sedan chair with one stick!

When had Dan Jiaoer seen such a battle, his face turned pale with fright, he knelt down to avoid the sticks, crawled out on his knees, grabbed his skirt and ran for his life.

The thugs in black were also dumbfounded. They didn't dare to stop Xie Jing, but Dan Jiaoer, who ran away with the "big gift", had to chase after him, and the leader immediately shouted to catch up.

Xie Jing smashed the red sedan chair to pieces, didn't chase anyone, just flicked his wrist, looked at the black-clothed thug and said coldly: "Tell you big boss, let him take care of it, if you do it again, my stick It’s human beings who are smashed.”

The thugs in black nodded repeatedly, and were about to leave with the smashed sedan chair, but they were stopped by Xie Jing after taking two steps.

Xie Jing walked up to them, looked carefully at each of them, and stopped on the last bearer who lifted his foot, looked at him and said, "Raise your head."

The opponent's arm trembled slightly.

Xie Jing scolded: "I said look up, did you hear me?"

The man just raised his head, still trembling, took a quick look at Xie Jing and immediately lowered his head, greeting him with a trembling voice.

Xie Jing said, "Huang Laizi?"

The other party pretended to be stupid, pretending that he had never heard of this name.

Xie Jing sneered and said, "Why, did you eat wild rabbit today? Is the rabbit meat fresh? Or do you want me to take you to the back alley and talk about the truth, reminding you of the small restaurant in the provincial government?"

Then the man said with a flattering smile: "Young master was joking, I just haven't seen you for many years, and I didn't recognize you for a while."

Xie Jing said: "I want this person."

Huang Laizi's smile froze on his face, and the complexions of the men in black around him changed several times, and finally they turned into a strange look. They were ordered to give presents. This Bai Lord likes actors, so they fell in love with him and gave him an actor. Well, now the actor is not needed, but a rough-skinned and thick-skinned thug.The leader finally came back to his senses, nodded his head immediately, left Huang Laizi behind, and hurried away with his sedan chair.

No matter what, the "gift" was sent out anyway.

Huang Laizi followed Xie Jing back to the bungalow, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to him when he turned around.

Xie Jing kicked his knee: "Get up."

Huang Laizi stood up with a forbearing expression on his face.

Xie Jing sat there, looked him up and down, and asked, "You were not in the provincial capital before, why did you come to Nanfang?"

Huang Laizi said: "Returning to my young master, I used to be in the Qinglong Gang, but now I have been promoted to a few positions, and I have come to the Qinglong Society - I may not be clear about it, but this society is more powerful than the gang."

Xie Jing said: "You mentioned it very quickly, you are a talent."

Huang Laizi was a little apprehensive, not knowing if what he said was wrong, so he called him there, "Sir, don't play tricks on the young ones, I was a little dog who didn't know Taishan before, so I offended you, I still hope you My lord, don't remember the villain's faults, let me go, the little one will be a straw ring, and will be a cow or a horse in the next life..." He was interrupted by Xie Jing before he finished speaking, and said softly: " Not in the next life, but now.”

Huang Laizi choked on a word in his throat, unable to hold back.

Xie Jing ordered: "Tell me in detail how you climbed up in the past two years."

Huang Laizi had no choice but to stand there and talk. He was eloquent, and what he said was full of wit and wit, but he added oil and vinegar to it, and fabricated a lot of tragic past. Xie Jing pointed out that he just paused and turned a corner to make it up.

At first I could mess around a bit, but after a few times, I couldn't make it up.

Xie Jing rested her chin with one hand and listened with relish: "Why don't you continue?"

Huang Laizi had no love in his life, he stood there with his head drooping, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, don't make fun of me, I just happened to be by chance, I got lucky a few times, and I ended up in Nanfang."

Xie Jing asked him: "Do you know Feng Shui and fortune-telling?"

Huang Laizi nodded and said: "My ancestor was a physicist, so he knows a little bit about superficial."

Xie Jing rolled her eyes.

He remembered this Huang Laizi. He didn't think about it when he beat people in the provincial government a few times before. He didn't think about it until he arrived in Nanfang. Several times in the village, Xie Jing saw him from afar at the river mouth in Shu. At that time, the officials in Shu were in chaos, and this Huang Laizi was mixed up with a staff officer position, and he was ordered to be a "mojin school lieutenant". , led the team to dig up a lot of gold and silver antiques, all of which were used as military pay.

This incident caused a sensation, and Huang Laizi also appeared in the newspaper. When he was introduced at that time, he used the name of the military adviser of the Qinglong Society of Nanfang - there are still a few years before now, if the Qinglong Society does not provoke the Bai family, Huang Laizi probably really Some of them will skyrocket and become the so-called military division.

Xie Jing suddenly called him: "Huang Renfeng!"

Huang Laizi raised his head in astonishment, although he didn't respond, but judging from his reaction, he did.

Xie Jing was sure that this person was right. After thinking for a moment, she took out a small black stone tiger from her bosom, handed it over to him and asked, "Have you seen this before?"

Huang Laizi—Huang Renfeng wiped his hands, took it carefully, looked carefully and frowned slightly: "This stone is a stone at the bottom of the river."

Xie Jing stared at him and said, "How did you know?"

Huang Renfeng said: "This is what I learned from a small family. I can tell at a glance that this stone has been soaked in the bottom of the river all year round, and it is covered with water vapor. However, this thing is weird. I have never seen it before, but it is definitely not a bright weapon." He held it up. The little stone tiger approached Xie Jing, pointed to the scratches on it and said: "This stone has been dated, but the marks are still light, and it doesn't feel more than 20 years old. In my opinion, it looks like a child polished it casually, and carved it for fun."

Xie Jing narrowed her eyes and said, "Didn't you see the star map on it?"

Huang Renfeng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look, but his eyes were blank, and he couldn't find it.

Xie Jing tapped her finger on the table, and slowly recited the nursery rhyme: "Stone Dragon vs. Stone Tiger, gold and silver are ten thousand and five, whoever knows it, buy the Rongcheng Mansion—"

Huang Renfeng's complexion has changed, his voice has lost its tone, and he lost his voice: "Xunyin Jue!!"
