Chapter 18 Chapter 17

Under the dim light, the red lacquered wooden floor looked even more crimson, and Ronghua and Moci had a secret conversation in the small attic of "Huamei Bookstore".Several stacked photos of the "Military Secret Map" were spread out on a small desktop. The upper right corner of the map was marked with "Military Secret, 1/50,000th Map of Southern China, Nanchang Material Number", and the lower left corner was marked with "Army Survey Ministry of Staff Headquarters". "Last year, the Japanese imperialists brazenly launched the September 18th Incident. Chiang Kai-shek ordered 'absolutely non-resistance', and the Northeast Army gave up Shenyang City without firing a single shot. All three provinces fell. Look at these photos, the Japanese swallowed my heart of China and won’t die. Not only do they want our three eastern provinces, but they also want to annex the Central Plains.” Ronghua straightened out the photos one by one with a serious expression.

"Where did the photos of these maps come from?" Mu Ci asked. "It was drawn by Japanese spies who had been lurking in our country for a long time. These photos were obtained by our agents from Tegao. The Japanese spy agency 'Liyangsha' established the Oriental Academy on Kunshan Road in Shanghai very early. The Japanese spy chief Doihara Xian Er dispatched a large number of Japanese spies to sneak into our country, many of whom were female spies. He compared them to the petals of cherry blossoms drifting to the mainland and the bright stars that shine with the sun and the moon.”

"Hmph. The sun and the moon shine together? Cherry blossoms are short-lived after all." "Well said. Come and see, this picture." Rong Hua straightened a picture. "The main streets and ports of Shanghai are drawn here, and the map is very clear and accurate." Muci looked at the photo carefully. On the drawing, it reads: Survey of the Flower of the Empire by the Chinese Expeditionary Army of the Land Surveying Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters.Showa four years. "Showa four years? 1929." Mu Ci murmured. "Our superiors ordered us to disclose these photos to the national government as soon as possible in the interests of the country, hoping that they will wipe out all the Japanese spies lurking in Shanghai as soon as possible. Also, the Third Communist International is about to send important officials to Shanghai to participate in the meeting of the Central Special Committee. For the enlarged meeting, we are responsible for the pick-up and drop-off of the participants. Xiang Chengfa, secretary of the Central Special Branch, is our direct leader for this mission. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Muci suddenly looked back at the words "Showa Four Years", and said in confusion, "Where have I seen this handwriting?" "No way?" Ronghua said. "Unless you've seen this empire flower!" Shanghai French Concession, Japanese tea room. The decoration of the tea room is exquisite, and the private room is separated from the private room by a large and wide black lacquered screen imitating Tang Dynasty, which is well connected and beautifully designed.Gold flying lacquer is painted on the screen, and the paintings are all stories about the exchange and development of Chinese and Japanese tea culture.The painting style is elegant, full of antique flavor and full of antiquity.

A small porcelain pot with Japanese characteristics, the spout is tilted and the water line pours smoothly into the bottom of the teacup, the hands are reserved and playful, the fingers are cold to lift the cup, the fragrant lips are stained with green tea, and the tongue sticks out ambiguously Come, try the temperature of the tea, and then calmly wait for the visitor. Visitors come, albeit reluctantly. Han Zhengqi pushed open the low door of the private room of the tea room and walked in with a bow. The strong and pungent smell of perfume filled the room wantonly. The light on the tatami was very dim. Owner.

A woman who had saved his life. In the tea room, the remaining carbon is slightly hot, and the tea is warm and cold. "Sit." Xu Yuzhen said. Han Zhengqi sat down expressionlessly. "Do you remember? The fragrance of tea that comes at night?" the woman asked tenderly. Why don't you remember?The gentle fragrance of that night made him regret his whole life. "Why don't you speak?" Xu Yuzhen looked into his eyes intently. In his eyes, she was like a twilight Epiphyllum.With a ostentatious posture and gorgeous vulgarity, she seduces herself.The nightmare that had been cut off for many years began to show an evil smile again. This was his past, his sin, the devil he had to face but had to face.

Xu Yuzhen made tea for him, and the surface of the lifeless porcelain bowl was rippling with the melting green ripples of spring, as if it had revived.The crushed tea powder overflowed the rim of the bowl, was gently scraped by the lid, and swirled one after another, revealing a bit of greed and self-pleasure. Xu Yuzhen turned the tea bowl one and a half times, respectfully handed the tea to Han Zhengqi, and smiled seductively.The flattering smile with a hypocritical meaning is faintly overflowing with decadence. "I didn't come to find flowers and ask willows." Han Zhengqi took a sip of tea without looking aside.

"I'm not perfect either." Xu Yu really argued. "How does the tea taste?" "It's as light as water." "That's because your heart is too unsympathetic." She lit a cigarette. "What are you looking at me for?" "You didn't smoke before." Han Zhengqi said. "People have to change." Xu Yuzhen forced a smile. "Time changes life." "You didn't invite me here just to pay tribute to the past, did you?" Han Zhengqi said with a straight face. "Between you and me, is there any past to remember?" Xu Yuzhen asked back.

"That's the best!" Han Zhengqi said. "Recently you have done a lot of things, which are very inconsistent with your identity. I am very surprised. How can a person who is a mother commit the heinous case of 'killing children'." "You don't understand. I'm the most peaceful. But it's them, and they won't let me go. I didn't mean to blow them up. I was just warning, warning." "Three people died, and two of them had nothing to do with this incident! They were purely innocent victims!" "It's their bad luck!" Xu Yuzhen stood up stiffly, emotionally. "I don't want to either."

"They are all innocent!! You deserve to die! You deserved to die twenty years ago! All of these are my sins! My crime is unforgivable!" "Those who deserve to die are not necessarily guilty, and those who are guilty do not necessarily deserve to die." "You killed my woman." Han Zhengqi's eyes burst into flames, the muscles on his face began to crisscross, and his teeth were about to crack. "What did you promise me twenty years ago? You said that you would never hurt my woman. Now, you killed her, killed her!" "The plan expected in advance and the result after the incident are too inconsistent. We don't want to see this kind of result. The person I want to kill is not her at all! It's her, and she wants to die by herself! She dies, she dies always It's better than us dying, right? Do you think this situation is what I want? The current situation is very unfavorable to both you and me."

"You don't want to, take us one at a time, I have nothing to do with you!" "Are you trying to abandon me? Destroy me? Do you think that as a small deputy police chief, you can cover the sky? Don't think about it. Without my help back then, you would have starved to death on the streets. Don't you forget, what kind of person are you? Do you think that you have lost the breath of gangsters and savage inferiors? No, no, it is impossible. Don't dream! The widow of the new widow , thinking that if you fan the soil on the grave, you will become a bride just out of the cabinet! A person who betrays his faith will never be born again. Unless he dies! I think it is necessary for me to remind you that you owe me a debt of love! I am a harsh creditor, no matter how much pleasure you have squeezed from me, I will get it back from you." "I also tell you, I will not be manipulated by you again. I am not afraid of your ruthlessness, I will wager my life with you! If you dig out all the old journals, I don't care! Twenty years ago, Ciyun Temple, it was you, The trap you set, you drugged me. You used indiscriminate means to destroy my morals. It was you who crushed my self-esteem and personality overnight. It was you who destroyed it with your own hands My happiness, my love." "This is your fate." "No, you owe my life!" "No, you have gained a high official and rich salary because of this." "I got what I didn't want." "What you can't get is always the best." Xu Yuzhen smiled, with a strange and self-satisfied smile. "There are many latitudes and longitudes, each has its own advantages. Don't be too greedy. In the end, you will end up dead without a burial." "The one who died without a place to die should be you." Han Zhengqi suddenly stood up and put on his snow-white gloves. "This time, I will not be merciful." "What do you want to do?" "I want to cut your neck, and it's over!" Han Zhengqi almost rushed forward and grabbed Xu Yuzhen's throat. When the incident happened suddenly, Xu Yuzhen was instantly at a disadvantage. She struggled desperately and gasped for breath.Han Zhengqi didn't give her a chance to breathe, he grabbed her throat hard. "I will send you back to your hometown with a light pinch now. Do you know? You are shrewd and can calculate. I will not go around in circles with you. I will make you evaporate, dissolve and disappear like water in the air. I can do it, I am not As a pawn twenty years ago, I have the right to life and death. Come here, come and see." His five fingers icily grabbed her and dragged her towards the window. With a sound of "crash", the curtains were pulled open, and Xu Yuzhen saw all the policemen standing guard outside the Japanese tea room, and all the bodyguards he brought were put under the corner of the tea room.It was obvious that Han Zhengqi came prepared and wanted to kill the "thief". Unfortunately, he was powerless. Xu Yuzhen squeezed out an elusive and weird smile on his face.This kind of smile made Han Zhengqi shudder. He had seen this kind of smile twenty years ago, and he would never forget that time. "why are you laughing?" Xu Yuzhen motioned him to relax his throat.Han Zhengqi let go, Xu Yuzhen coughed violently. "You, you are so savage." Xu Yuzhen did throat decompression and relaxation exercises for himself. "I'm not going to die easily, you know? Unless you're willing to sacrifice your precious son." "What did you say?" Han Zhengqi couldn't help but flinch suddenly. "What?" He drew out his pistol, pointed it at Xu Yuzhen's head, and roared with red eyes. "Believe it or not, I shot you to death!" "Very good, one shot kills two lives. One is your mistress who was 'raped and then killed' by you, and the other is your own son. I can afford the bet! Do you dare to bet? Deputy Director Han?" "It's a bluff?! Don't lie to me, I didn't scare you too much." Han Zhengqi's momentum was at the end of his strength. Xu Yuzhen quickly caught the subtle changes on Han Zhengqi's face.There is definitely an opportunity to take advantage of. "Make a call and try it." Xu Yuzhen encouraged him very piously. "See if it's true or not? It's been twenty years, why are you still so reckless? Do you think fighting with your back is enough to kill me? Then you underestimate me too much. I can walk in without any cover, naturally You can also walk out unscathed. Put the gun away, be careful not to fire, two lives." "You wait." Han Zhengqi put away his gun, walked to the exquisite antique phone, and shook the handle of the phone.Briefly: "Headquarters Customs." After a while, the phone was connected. "Please ask Han Yu to answer the phone." After a few seconds, Han Zhengqi's eyes lost their luster.He leaned against the wall slumped, his heart hurt like a needle, this kind of anxious pain, only parents can understand it best. His only son, Han Yu, did not go to work at the General Administration of Customs this morning. On his way to work, his colleagues found his military uniform hanging on a tree, and Han Yu disappeared. "How is my son?" Han Zhengqi was covered in sweat.His nerves were on the verge of collapse. "He's fine. As long as I'm safe, he'll live a long life. Look at you, sweating from anxiety." Xu Yuzhen tried to wipe his sweat off. "Don't touch me." "You are too weak. You need my help, don't you? You need my pity. Don't rush to get rid of me. Think about it, what would have happened to you if I hadn't saved you back then? Unkempt? Slavery? Rough food?" "Why did you call me here today?" "I need your return to me." "I've paid back." "yes?" "You are still alive, isn't that the best proof?" "It's not enough. I want you to take a clear stand. You can't let the 'Golden Dragon Gang' be resurrected." "I can't do anything about the gang." "Aren't you afraid of losing your most beloved child? You must make a wise choice. Just like twenty years ago. Choose me, or choose her. Now, choose a young master who has passed away? Or choose yourself son?" For Han Zhengqi, the horror of losing a beloved child is far greater than losing a man's honor and faith.His heart churned in pain. "How about it?" "No." Han Zhengqi panted. "No?" Xu Yu was really surprised, she didn't want to lose this trump card that has tried everything. "You have to know that what you cut off is not only the kindness of father and son in the world, but also the blood of your Han family." "Because of this, I refuse to choose." "You have to choose." "I can't choose, you let me choose twenty years ago, you threatened me with the life of my most beloved woman; you seduced me with your body and your beauty, you forced me to choose; you created a murder scene, framed Me, you forced me to choose; now, twenty years have passed, and you still want me to choose. No, I will not choose, not to mention that I still have the right now, even if I am an ordinary man, I will never choose Don’t choose again. The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will break, and you will die!” "Who do you think you are? You are just a dog of the Yang family. Don't treat yourself as a human being. Do you think he can forgive you if you save him? You slept with his father's woman. " "No." Han Zhengqi flatly denied it. "You betrayed his sister." "No!" "You lied to him!" "No!!" "He will definitely kill you! Instead of killing him, it is better to kill him and exchange your son's life." "Shut up!!!" Han Zhengqi categorically stopped Xu Yuzhen's aggressive attack. "Shut up! Femme fatale. He's your son, isn't he?" "no!" "He is Mr. Yang's son!" "He's a fake!" "He is the leader of the 'Golden Dragon Gang'." "If you kill him, he will be nothing." "You madman." "I'm not crazy." Xu Yuzhen said. "It's you who went crazy, your son's life is more important, or the one surnamed Yang?" "I won't make the same mistake again and again!" "You have to make a choice." "You kill me." Han Zhengqi suddenly gave up his fierceness, and he leaned weakly against the wall to support his body. "Kill me and let my son go." "Your life is worthless." Xu Yuzhen's eyes were full of contempt. "Choose." "I don't choose." "Must choose." "I'll choose for him!" A clear and bright sentence came from behind the screen suddenly. Before he finished speaking, the black lacquered Tang screen behind Han Zhengqi was pushed away vigorously. Before Han Zhengqi and Xu Yuzhen could blink, Ah Chu stood out in a plain long gown with a luxurious demeanor. Han Zhengqi panicked. Xu Yuzhen was suspicious. The air was strangely still. "The poisonous snake grip may not necessarily be able to control the overall situation." Ah Chu said with a smile.Behind the black lacquered screen imitating the Tang Dynasty, stood the brothers of the "Golden Dragon Gang" and Huang Sanyuan, the boss of the "Hongmen". Huang Sanyuan is not only the chief detective of the French police station, but also the leader of the "Hongmen" in the world.With both "black and white" footsteps and powerful influence, Shanghai Tang is a hot big shot. Undoubtedly, Ah Chu had done enough preparations to set up this tea bureau here and now.Han Zhengqi's mind went blank. It turned out that Ah Chu had sent someone to follow him for more than a day. Xia Yuechun and Tang Shao were dressed in black suits, standing on the side of the screen, Tang Shao lit a cigarette, and said, "Mrs. Yang, your methods are too dark, do you know? I was almost killed that day. Wow, you are enough!" ruthless." Huang Sanyuan patted his chest and said: "Brother Yang, according to the rules in the Hongmen, those who prostitute wives and daughters will be hit by five thunders; those who have a red apricot who cheats on the wall will die under random knives. If you can't do it, you don't need to throw money, as long as you cough One sound, big brother will do it for you." "No need, brother. This is my family business, I should do it myself." Ah Chu said, pulling hard, pulling the black lacquered imitation Tang screen back to its original place, separating Huang Sanyuan, Xia Yuechun, Tang Shao and others .A short period of calm was restored in the private room. The three of them were facing each other, each with their latitude and longitude, their eyes shot out, and they fought against each other. "You can see clearly that this is a concession, a Japanese tea room, and a Japanese territory. Don't try to mess around." Xu Yuzhen said calmly. "Don't forget, this is the world of the Chinese!" Ah Chu stepped forward and tore off the curtain vigorously.It was the afternoon, the red sun was shining brightly, the policemen outside the tea room had long since disappeared, and they were all replaced by patrolmen from the French Concession, as well as brothers from the "Golden Dragon Gang". "A visitor is a guest. It's an elegant thing to drink tea and chat. Why do you have to go to war? Don't you think so, Mr. Chu?" Xu Yuzhen forced a smile, with an ugly expression on his face. "It's Mr. Yang." Ah Chu corrected, "Yang Muchu." "What a coincidence, Mr. Yang's name is exactly the same as my dead dog." "Really? However, I heard that Mrs. Yang's original identity was a housemaid, a concubine who was born as a maid, and she is not qualified to call her husband's child a dog. You should call him young master, shouldn't you?" "Unexpectedly, a doctor who studied abroad has such conservative ideas." "My ideas are conservative, you should be thankful. The reason why I am still willing to talk to you is because you used to be Mr. Yang Yubai's woman. Otherwise, I would directly reduce the dialogue to swearing." "I am still Mr. Yang Yubai's woman." Xu Yuzhen said. "Really?" Yang Muci deliberately glanced at her strangely.With a needle hidden in his mouth, he said: "Mr. Yang Yubai's woman, as far as I know, she has been with her husband on the way to Huangquan for twenty years. Are you an unearthed cultural relic? Or is your death date approaching?" "It doesn't matter whether you have unearthed cultural relics or you are about to die. I met you today, and I think we are destined for each other. I would like to invite you to drink tea in the tea room, to reminisce about the old days. I don't know the beginning, no, I don't know what Mr. Yang thinks?" Xu Yuzhen did not panic, It's a bit of a general's style. "You have brewed this tea for twenty years. If I don't drink it, it would be disrespectful." Ah Chu shook his gown, flicked the corner of his robe, and sat cross-legged neatly. "Sit down too." Ah Chu greeted Han Zhengqi who stood there for a long time. Han Zhengqi came over exhausted and said, "Your subordinate will accompany you to the last seat." He sat down restlessly. Xu Yuzhen began to make tea for the two of them. Seeing the finely ground tea leaves struggling in the tea bowl during the day.Under the impact of boiling water, the flesh of the young leaves curled up, and the pieces were greasy green and sad, as if the clouds contained rain. "Please use." Xu Yuzhen offered tea to Ah Chu respectfully, and her mentality gradually stabilized during the display of tea art. "How does it taste?" Xu Yuzhen asked. "It's boring." Ah Chu replied. "The drinker has no intention, so it is tasteless." Xu Yuzhen said. "The heart of the tea maker is not clean, and if the heart is not calm, the tea will be of poor quality." Yang Muchu said. "How about the tea ceremony?" "There is 'art' but no 'way', there is form but no spirit, and there is nothing but appearance." "Huangkou kid, also understands the tea ceremony?" Xu Yu really couldn't bear it anymore. "Are you Chinese?" Ah Chu asked abruptly. "Yes, of course." The muscles on Xu Yuzhen's face trembled slightly. "Since everyone is Chinese, why should we taste tea according to the Japanese tea ceremony?" "Because this is a Japanese tea house, we just do as the Romans do." "However, the tea houses of the Japanese are doing business on the land of the Chinese. They should be doing as the Romans do, not us." "Can the Chinese tea ceremony be compared with the Japanese tea ceremony?" "Hmph." Ah Chu smiled sarcastically. "Do you know which country the founder of the tea ceremony is from? It's Chinese. Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't envy the golden pot, nor the white jade cup; Come down from Jingling City." Ah Chu laughed, very proudly. "Chinese tea was brought back to Japan by Japanese envoys sent to Tang Dynasty. The Chinese tea ceremony and the Japanese tea ceremony are a master-student relationship, a father-son relationship. Do you understand? A disciple must know how to observe the disciple's etiquette when meeting a master." Xu Yuzhen looked up and sneered. "Hey, the tone is really loud. I have been studying Japanese tea ceremony for twenty years. The so-called: harmony, respect, purity, and silence are well-known. The ancient Japanese warriors valued the dignity of the tea ceremony most. At the same tea party, Can't drink the same tea in the same cup, guess what will happen to them? They will maintain the dignity of the tea ceremony, the dignity of the samurai, and commit seppuku, blood spattered on the spot. Unlike you...not like us Chinese, feel free The tea art is ruined, tea bowls can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the tea water is as turbid as river water. It is an insult to the spirit of the tea ceremony. The master is willing to degenerate, what respect does the disciple have?" "Degenerate? What is degenerate? Japanese samurai committed suicide because they could not drink good tea. This is not to maintain the dignity of the tea ceremony, but a psychopath! It is spiritual self-abuse that runs counter to the culture of the tea ceremony. In addition to being available for tasting, it also has the effect of quenching thirst. Tea art is a kind of spiritual enjoyment for human beings, and it is the elegance and taste of human life. It is by no means a weapon to control people's spirit. Japanese tea ceremony, from boiling water to handing tea, every step They are strictly regulated, like dead zombies doing mechanical puppet movements, which have no interest in life and meaning, and are passed down from generation to generation, and they dare not go one step further. I suspect that they are paranoid and mentally ill." "You..." Xu Yuzhen's face was livid, calmly restraining his emotions. "The Chinese tea ceremony does not have the affectation and hypocrisy of the Japanese tea ceremony. The Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes 'heaven and man in harmony'!" "What is meant by 'Heaven and Man Harmony'?" "Heaven, the nature is pure. People, the so-called..." Ah Chu picked up a cup of tea and pointed to it. "The base of the cup is the earth, the lid is the sky, and the cup is the man. The sky is big, the earth is big, and man is respect!" Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang" and the teacup was put down.He raised his head and said solemnly: "Harmony, a harmonious spring breeze, a pleasant appearance, and harmony is the most important thing; one, is spotless, and does not exist. This is the Chinese tea ceremony, which is people-oriented, enlightening thinking and enlightening wisdom, and returning to simplicity." "You speak clearly and clearly, but you don't know how to practice tea art? It's a lie to just talk about it without practicing it." Xu Yuzhen challenged it openly. "In that case, I'll give it a try." Ah Chu challenged. "Don't hesitate to teach me." Xu Yuzhen said. "Wish to see Mr.'s demeanor!" Han Zhengqi, who had not spoken for a long time, began to talk. Ah Chu said to Xu Yuzhen: "I will definitely let you be taught with satisfaction." He shouted loudly: "Change the tea set!" Immediately, a Japanese waitress trotted in with her head bowed and asked in blunt Chinese, "What kind of tea set do you need, sir?" "Anything is fine, as long as it is a Chinese tea set." Ah Chu said sonorously. "Hi!" The Japanese waitress with her face covered in white powder and rouge bent even lower, her head almost down to her knees, and bowed back.After a while, the Japanese waitress brought a set of purple sand tea set made in Yixing, China, and said politely, "Please use it." She closed the sliding door casually. Ah Chu rolled up her snow-white cuffs, pouring dots, scraping foam, pouring pots, scalding cups, rolling cups elegantly and freely, the fine water floated, and the cups and pots overflowed with fragrance.Then sprinkle tea, pour low, "Guan Gong tours the city" several times, high flush and low sieve, back and forth "Han Xin order soldiers", pour out three cups of tea with the same color, same aroma, same taste and same amount.His movements are accurate, light and flexible, and the whole set of kung fu is like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go, giving people a delicate and exquisite enjoyment of the senses, which made the two onlookers stunned and had to admire them. Since he was twelve years old, the Rong family bought and cooked tea for Rongsheng. Under the influence of the tea ceremony taught by his fourth wife, who was fifteen or six years old, it can be said that he has advanced in the art of tea.When Rongsheng went abroad, apart from the fourth wife's insistence, the young master also insisted on taking him with him.More than half of the reason is that he has made great achievements in "tea".In Rongsheng's exquisite life, the enjoyment of "tea" is an indispensable and important part. Therefore, Ah Chu's tea art is extraordinary, it's just that he keeps it hidden. "The Chinese tea ceremony is extensive and profound; the Chinese tea art has a long history. Ah Chu has only tasted it, and it is just the tip of the iceberg of the Chinese tea ceremony. However, it is small but significant, and the small is big. A master is a master, and an apprentice is still an apprentice!" "Sure enough, he has both voice and color." Han Zhengqi praised. "How is it? Isn't it to your liking?" Ah Chu said to Xu Yuzhen. "Learning from the current, you can't escape the attitude of a woman. After all, you are just a mad dog trained by Yang Mulian. You are not a man. If you are a man, just fight with me openly. Instead of sneaking behind me like this now Make tricks and trap me here." "Are you irritating me? Afraid of death?" Ah Chu laughed heartily. "Hey wind and scolding rain, you can't grab the edge!" "You don't want to use the dead body to resurrect your soul, unless I admit that you are Yang Muchu, unless I let you into the Yang family. Otherwise, you won't get any money." "Really?" Ah Chu approached Xu Yuzhen step by step, and said, "I, Yang Muchu, swear to the sky today, I will walk in through the gate of the Yang family in a dignified way! I want to take back every penny you plundered from me." Remember, it is every penny. Also, every life debt you owe must be repaid with your blood! I will completely destroy you financially, spiritually, and physically. Go back and tell Yang Yu Hua, I want him to prepare three coffins, and I'm going to tear up the three of you and put them in one by one, do you hear me clearly?" Ah Chu's handsome face was slightly darkened by resentment. "No, it's not three coffins, but four, and your brother and my son. The four of us are a family. If we die, we will definitely die together. If we are buried, we will also be buried together." "Really? Is there a mother in this world who wants to bury her son? You are simply not human." "In this world, I don't know if there is a mother who wants to bury her son. However, I know that from ancient times to the present, there are many examples of brothers killing each other in China. Cooking beans burns the bean sieve, and weeps in the cauldron. They grow from the same root. Why is it too urgent to meet each other?" "Don't worry, I will definitely take the crying bean out of the cauldron first." "That would be all the better." "I will definitely go home with a smile on my face!" "On the way home, be careful of ghosts and demons." Xu Yuzhen sneered. "On the way home, meet ghosts and kill ghosts! The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha!" ​​Ah Chu's indifferent smile froze his gloomy face. "Then, I'll go home and wait for you, sweep the pavilion and burn incense, and be ready." Xu Yuzhen hoped that he could escape smoothly. "Okay, but you don't have to be too extravagant. I like to cut out the complicated and keep it simple. You can take care of your funeral affairs with peace of mind." Ah Chu's slender eyelashes showed a smile and contempt. "No, she can't go, sir." Han Zhengqi interrupted suddenly. "My son, in her hands." "No, your son, I have it." Ah Chu turned his head, fixed his eyes on Han Zhengqi, and said clearly, "Han Yu is in my car. Our accounts will be settled slowly." Han Zhengqi's expression was numb, every word and every word of Ah Chu was cold to the bone, and he felt fear and sadness like never before. Xu Yuzhen seemed to have opened a ray of sky before the gate of hell, she bowed her head to thank Ah Chu without losing her demeanor. "There will be a period later." Ah Chu spoke the moment she stepped out the door. "Wait, Mrs. Yang." He approached Xu Yuzhen and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you just now, I have cleaned up the four people you sent to kidnap Han Yu for you." Xu Yuzhen's heart was tightened violently, she was shocked: "You, what did you say?" "I said, I cleaned it up for you." Ah Chu said clearly and slowly with an excited expression, "I sent someone to pick Mr. Han here for tea this morning. It just so happened that the person you sent arrived first. My The subordinates invited them to the house to drink tea first, and they told me that you sent them to Tongji Hospital’s TNT explosives, and they all participated in it. , the body was thrown into the Huangpu River. Sorry, I forgot to say hello to you. But..." He leaned closer to Xu Yuzhen's ear and lowered his voice.Obviously, he didn't want Xia Yuechun and Tang Shao next door to hear this sentence. "I asked someone to remove their hands and feet. Give it to you as a meeting gift." Xu Yuzhen was completely dumbfounded, her breathing was short and turbid. "Come on, bring in the gift I prepared for Mrs. Yang." Ah Chu ordered his subordinates Liu Ahsi and Lu Liangchen who were standing at the door.These two people had been following Rongchu before, making a living by going through the rivers and lakes. Liu Asi handed a black suitcase to Xu Yuzhen's hand, Xu Yuzhen's hands were shaking, the black suitcase was heavy, and blood stains kept leaking out.The strong fishy smell oozes out, making people heartbroken. "Among them, there seems to be one Japanese named Ichiro Sakai." Xu Yuzhen spat it out, and the whole place was dirty. "I have always paid respects first and then soldiers. Please pass on this precious gift to Mr. Yang Yuhua to show my determination to go home. And I ask my aunt to tell my uncle that the end is coming, please enjoy this last spring to the fullest. Thank you. You can go." Ah Chu bowed and sent him off very politely. Xu Yuzhen herself didn't know how to leave the tea room in embarrassment, her hands and feet were stiff, like a walking dead.Liu Ahsi hired a rickshaw for her, put the so-called "gift" under her lap, and let her go. Xu Yuzhen cried. Her hand caressed the black box, which contained her "first love" lover's blood, his hands, and his feet.He was the first man in her life, and he just went away quietly and inexplicably.He traveled across oceans for her career, and he survived for her existence.His hands used to rub his hands so warmly, his toes once overlapped with his own, their blood once blended, their lips and teeth were attached to each other, licking each other's wounds in the dark, like wolves. Howl and share wild love with each other.Now, all of this has become a passing cloud. Last night, he was still kept warm by the bottom. This afternoon, yin and yang were blocked, and he died for life. She groaned in pain, her heart convulsed, and her teeth squeaked. Even if she was about to be destroyed, she would destroy the city the moment before it was destroyed. Xu Yuzhen's innocent face looked even darker and gloomy in the wind. In the air of the tea room, there are a few wisps of faint tea fragrance lingering and condensing, like a gloomy mist, which cannot be dissipated or unraveled. Han Zhengqi felt that his body and mind had nowhere to hide. Ah Chu seemed to have too much energy, and the grievances that had been carried for twenty years suddenly burst out, and he couldn't control himself.He was a little crazy inside. The curtains that had been drawn wantonly fell to the ground sickly, the sun was no longer covered, and he grinned and swaggered, and drove straight in from the bright window, and the powerful light instantly drowned out the haze in the tea room. The black lacquered Tang screen was gently pushed away by someone at this moment, and the two narrow tearooms became a rectangular private room.Huang Sanyuan, Xia Yuechun, Tang Shao and others walked into Han Zhengqi's sight one after another.Huang Sanyuan's contemptuous gaze and Tang Shao's sneer made Han Zhengqi very embarrassed. "Uncle, it's okay. We are good friends with Han Yu, and no one can hurt you." Xia Yuechun tried his best to comfort Han Zhengqi. "Rules.However, he believes that the so-called "rules" should also vary from person to person. Ah Chu knew that Xia Yuechun's words were for himself. There is a special reason for Xia Yuechun and Tang Shao to drink tea here.A month ago, the "Chunhe Hospital" opened by Xia Yuechun's family received a notice from the government to requisition the land.Xia's hospital belongs to the ancestral property, and Xia Yuechun has ten thousand reasons why he can't move.He ran up and down several government offices, said a lot of good things, bought a lot of money, and accompanied a lot of smiling faces. Finally, there was a little room for maneuver in human relations, and he was asked to enter into a joint venture with the Japanese. The Japanese invested in "Chunhe Hospital", and "Chunhe Hospital" could stand tall and unshakable.Xia Yuechun was so angry that he passed out on the spot.Young Master Tang drove him to Ah Chu's house. As soon as he entered, he cried bitterly while hugging Ah Chu. He couldn't control himself, and even wanted to hang himself. Tang Shao also made "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad", and wanted to go to work for Xia Yuechun. He was full of sports cars, saying: "I want to go to Tokyo to slaughter the emperor, I want to destroy Little Japan, and finally tired, lying on the sofa, foaming and asking for cigarettes." Ah Chu's house did not hire a servant, usually the nanny A Yue took care of the food and daily life, and sometimes, Ah Chu also cooked by himself, so there was no extra person to serve the smoker.Ah Chu couldn't avoid doing it himself, and burned two cigarette bubbles for Tang Shao.It was hard to keep the house quiet for a moment. That night, Ah Chu took his business card, went to the French police station, and visited the door to "worship the pier".Due to the generous "gift money", Huang Sanyuan politely received this "rising star" in the Shanghai Bund Gang.Unexpectedly, the two of them were speculative in their words, and they had the meaning of sympathy and sympathy for each other.So, I opened the incense hall and worshiped the handle. Not long after, the relocation of Xia's Hospital suddenly took a dramatic turn.The government land management bureau notified Xia Yuechun that the two camphor trees on the site of "Chunhe Hospital" belonged to the "historic sites of the former Ming Dynasty" and were state property that urgently needed to be protected. Take a detour. When the good news came, Xia Yuechun seemed to have found a life among a hundred deaths, secretly thanked Ah Chu, and wanted to give him a share of the shares, Ah Chu resigned.However, Xia Yuechun dared to oblige if he was told to invite the "manager" to have a cup of tea, and Ah Chu took care of everything. A group of them arrived at the "International Hotel" in the morning and socialized for two or three hours.Originally, it was time to break up, so Ah Chu proposed to listen to a Japanese "Kabuki Opera" in a Japanese tea room, and everyone had a good time.Xia Yuechun originally refused to go, but was forced to come here by Ah Chu, and only after he came did he realize that Ah Chu's suggestion was not limited to "helping others for pleasure", in fact, "self-interest" factors accounted for a lot of suspicion, they were quiet静听了一场“屏风后的大戏”，完全被动地知道了阿初的家族隐私。 当然，如果阿初单纯跟他讲这件事，自己一定不信，太过“天方夜谭”。 不过，现，就算阿初一个字不说，他也大约知道事情的全貌了。 无论如何，他决不愿意阿初伤害韩禹的父亲，虽然他知道，韩正齐阿初眼里积罪尤多。 “To err is human. My advice is that it's best to forgive and forget.”夏跃春对阿初说。阿初微笑，不答。“I hope you will give favorable consideration to my suggestion.”夏跃春继续坚持地说。“你不妨想想自己常说的一句话。To err is human，to forgive divine.” “这不是错，跃春。”阿初说。“这是罪孽！” “阿初有分寸的，我们别管人家的家事。”汤少过来打圆场，并客气地对韩正齐说：“祝您好运，伯父。”汤少就势拉过夏跃春，索性就往门外走。“阿初，我们下面等你。” “好的。汤少，跃春，替我送黄先生。”阿初貌似和蔼地安排汤少和夏跃春先送黄三元走。 茶室里再一次彻彻底底地安静了下来。 “先生，请您放过我儿子。”韩正齐憋喉咙管的一句话，终于挤出来了，他的汗水一直不曾停止过。 “我没有蓄意绑架韩禹，是我的人，从徐玉真的人手底下把韩禹抢回来的。你不再受人胁迫，应该感谢我，而不是害怕我。”阿初平静地说。 “那么，先生的意思，肯放我父子一条生路？” “我不是慈善家。”阿初冷酷地笑了。“自己的儿子，当然得由你自己救。” “那么，先生的意思是？” “真相！真相是什么？我要知道全部真相！” “真相？我不是已经跟您说过了吗？唯一保留的，就是，就是，不堪入耳的肮脏的被人嫁祸的故事。” “你，阿岳嬷嬷、我姐姐，包括徐玉真，你们所陈述的过去的故事，我从头至尾一遍又一遍、认认真真地梳理过去你们告诉我的每一个章节，每一个环节。坦率地说，你们每一个人都撒谎！撒不同程度的谎！包括我最亲爱的姐姐。她我面前也隐瞒了部分'真相'。” "gentlemen?" “老实说，我无法平静，平静不下来。每当午夜梦回，睡意朦胧之际，所有隐藏的画面都联翩而至。所有支离破碎的记忆都重新粘合一起。你知道，我看见了什么吗？” "you?" “出卖你的人往往是你最亲近的人。”阿初突然反手给了韩正齐一茶壶，他动作狠毒，攻势凌厉。紫砂茶壶韩正齐的额头上崩裂，他被打倒地。“你最信任的人，寄予厚望的人，往往是背后伤害你最深的人！”阿初的面色因过激而潮红。“你穷途潦倒之际，承我杨氏恩惠，得以安身立命之所。我父亲待你不薄，你也亲随有年，你怎么敢跟我父亲的女人有染？一度春风，你就出卖了灵魂，默许罪恶发生，象一个路人一样袖手旁观！可怜我姐姐，只身突围，一路惊险。不得已，向死而生，下嫁朽木之夫，做人堂下之妾！可怜，她到死，到死心中仍然藏着对情人诚挚、热烈的眷爱；她到死的那一刻，也不知道情郎远二十年前就背叛了她，选择了厚禄高官！你因循苟且，岌岌顾影，你到底是怎样的一个人？啊？”阿初酣畅淋漓地发泄，导致韩正齐脑海一片空白，心底一阵抽搐。 “先生！”韩正齐知道，一场不可逆转的噩梦终于变成了现实。这场梦，绝对不象午夜梦回后，你可以轻易地脑海里删除掉、消灭掉自己所经历的一切触目惊心的往事，不，完全不可能。“您不了解，先生，有些事实，是无法说清楚的。” “这个世界上，只有不想说的'事实'，没有说不清楚的'事实'。您说是不是？您一直撒谎！弥天大谎！你们给我编造了一个又一个的谎言，我诧异的是，你们居然当真以为我会全盘接受？你们考验我的耐性，以为我很有耐性！我现告诉你，我是一个完全没有耐性一遍遍听谎言的人。” “可是，可是真正的真相，是残酷的，是无法见光的，对您而言，不知道比知道要好一万倍。真相一旦揭发，您未必有心理准备啊，先生。” “既然不能光明磊落地摆桌面上说，自然有你们不敢说、不想说、不愿说、不能说的苦衷。这苦衷到底是什么呢？” “我是走投无路，无以为计。” “我要听一听，一个走投无路，无以为计的人，当年是如何背信弃义的？”阿初接近冷漠地说。 韩正齐知道任何徒劳的辩解，事实明确、证据确凿的情况下，都会变得苍白无力。这种力量悬殊的情况下，不激怒对方，以实言相告，是唯一解脱困境的办法。“我告诉您真相，所谓的真相，其实只有一句话。”他的喉管再次发出一种抑扬颤动的声音。“徐玉真是您的亲生母亲！” 讳莫如深，讳莫如深。 I see. 阿初轻蔑地讥笑。 这一次，韩正齐真真切切地感到阿初的可怕。他原以为，此言一出，山崩地裂。阿初的正常反应，应该先是震惊、继而震怒，或者进退维谷，或者惊心动魄。 自己的姐姐，拿他做复仇工具，要他亲手杀死自己的亲生母亲。虽然没有得偿所愿，但是，二十年姐弟亲情原是虚幻……他不应该难过吗？ 自己的亲生母亲亲手杀死了自己的亲生父亲，为了一己私欲，连亲生儿子也不想放过，他不应该感到悲哀吗？ 自己拼命想报复的人全是自己的亲人，他难道不应该感到痛不欲生吗？ 无论如何表现，他都不应该是现这样的无动于衷，这样的从容自若，除非这个人是个疯子。问题是，阿初不是疯子。 “你觉得我听到这个'真相'后的态度，十分反常？是吧？”阿初主动来解谜了。“原因只有一个，这个所谓的'真相'，只是一个幌子，一颗烟雾弹，真正的'真相'是'背叛'、是'谋杀'、是一个，从一开始就设计好的、精心策划的'骗局'、'阴谋'。”阿初迎着韩正齐走过来，低身俯就般蹲下，韩正齐的耳边说：“我要告诉你一个截然相反的故事。虽然故事结构还不完善，而且乍一听起来，仿佛荒唐难信。不过，我要告诉你，我说得每一个字都是事实。无可争辩的事实。”阿初缓缓直起身来，一字一顿地说：“我的的确确是徐玉真的儿子。我不否认。” “先生？”韩正齐满脸狐疑。 “但是，我的母亲应该二十年前就已经香消玉碎了。” “二十年前？什么时候？” “二十年前的某月某日某夜，就你跟现这个'徐玉真'上床的时候。我的亲生母亲失踪了，她不见了，被人残忍地谋杀了，她遇害了。”
