Chapter 9 The Ninth Chapter Lost Power and Avoided the Powerful Family, Quan Zuo Xibin took the opportunity to trick ghosts and secretly pretend to be detectives

Sun Boyue was originally a strange person who was most active in the political and business circles in the north.In the former Qing Dynasty, he was just an alternate way of wealth. When Xiang Cheng was in the country, he knew that he was good at managing money. He wanted to reuse him several times, but he was politely declined.Dedicated to running a business, he owns a bank, has a lot of financial resources, has a lot of friends, is scheming, and has a lot of power.Nine out of ten successive finance ministers had a relationship with him.His origin and family background, as well as many anecdotes and anecdotes about the northern officialdom and banking circles before the 17th of the People's Republic of China are left for later, so I won't mention them for the time being.When Shaozhang arrived, he was chasing Boyue to see off the guests.That guest was a fat man in his mid-fifties. He had held important positions in the military circles of Guangdong and Guangxi in the late Qing Dynasty. Everyone called him Li Junmen.After the People's Republic of China, he moved to the Tianjin Concession to work as an apartment. When he had nothing to do, he liked to hold Kunjiao the most. At the beginning of the Republic of China, some famous actresses in the north were probably his adopted daughters.Recently, a club was opened in the French Concession, with a Pai Gow showdown. At first, it was only a place for ordinary acquaintances to hang out. Later, more and more people gathered, and ordinary wealthy people flocked there. When he asked, there was no stinginess in every throw.At this time, money is easily available in the officialdom, and the financial market is also active, often winning or losing hundreds of thousands of dollars overnight.Boyue is one of the big players in that club.Shaozhang had only met twice, and had no friendship, and saw that the two looked like they had something to discuss, and they were still talking at the door.

Boyue's heroic friends, the seats are always full, and they have some leisure relatives and friends, private secretaries, accountants and so on. When lunch is about to open, there are at least a dozen people there. It is common to have two or three tables of guests.These people are parasitic, and they are acquainted with Shaozhang Nineteen. When they meet each other, they greet each other, ask questions, and mostly act as officials of Shaozhang and his party.Shaozhang was suffering in his heart, so he couldn't express it clearly, so he put it off for a while.Besides, I have been waiting for more than half an hour, and I haven't seen Boyue come in yet, and when I saw him just now, his expression was quite indifferent, which is totally different from the enthusiastic state that my father said.Even though he knows Boyue's temperament, whenever something unpleasant happens, if he concentrates on thinking about it, there will be no joy on his face, and his heart will never let go.Just as he was about to ask the servants about seeing off the guests before he came back, he suddenly saw Zhen Gongfu, who came with him yesterday, walk in, pulled Shaozhang aside and said with a smile, "Why did you hide it from me? Boyue told me this morning, and only then did I know what happened. It’s such a big commotion, it’s lucky that you still have the mind to play in Qingyutang. In fact, Boyue went to Beijing on the fifth day after you arrived. At this time, Yan Laoxi’s representative was also active in Beijing. If you get acquainted with him, it would be much easier if you trusted him earlier? Just say it can't be done, at most spit out some of the money you brought back, there is no such urgent reason. You are obviously looking for Boyue to find a way I went, but I only sent someone to ask twice in the first two days, and then I stopped asking, and I didn't go to Tianjin, but I fooled around in the team, and didn't leave a message for the porter, and you said you were going to Tianjin, these are the servants You're lazy and bad, you don't know it, they see you for a long time and don't ask, they just say that you are going to Tianjin, just in time for Boyue's busy life, and he lost a lot of money at the club, they feel unhappy, first they thought you went to Tianjin We must come to meet each other, and we will not live in Beijing for a long time, so we should just forget about it.

"I had to look for me because Bo Boyue came to Beijing, but this time I was too busy and no one was looking for me. We have not been friends for a long time. We play and eat flowers and wine with you every day. We haven't even made a phone call, so it has been delayed until now. You have to tell me the truth, so I can give you an idea. I saw that you spent your money lavishly, and you thought it was a fortune. But you used public funds. The most absurd thing is that you came here yesterday and said that you are tired of Beijing. , I want to play with Boyue for a change of taste and see if there are any good people in Tianjin. For official matters, let me first inquire about your activities in Beijing. The questions are very detailed. I think we often go whoring and gambling together. This time, we were looking for him to have fun. Hearing the words, he said something, saying that you are ridiculous, how can I help the law with this kind of behavior? I still laughed at him, I always like friends to be proud, everyone is someone who has been in the casino, how can I say such a thing? He just mentioned you this time Although I don't know the details of the lawsuit, judging by your behavior in Beijing, you must have seen Lao Xi's difficulties in office, and you will have a good fortune, and you will undoubtedly abscond with money.

"According to what the old man said to him yesterday, if you lose money for the public, or if you are in a poor situation, and your own money is too big, and you spend a lot of money, and you are tired, our good friends will help you to make up for it. According to Jin Dao I always said that the ones you signed before are all middle-to-high and lacking. You have never sent money home on weekdays, let alone, the worst thing is that you didn’t have a lot of money. It's enough to spend a lot of money and go whoring, and when it's urgent, you hide the money you brought back, but ask your friends to return it on your behalf. No one will do this. What if you don't have a friend like Sun Boyue? But he always keeps his word. I told the old man, you can’t just ignore it, ask me to ask you how much you are short, how much money you brought back, and how much is left now? You will use the money to talk about it in the future, but at this time you can’t hide it, and you can’t say that it’s you. Madam's private house must be handed over, and he will make up for what is not enough. On the one hand, ask someone to clear it up. How much you can save is yours, so he is willing to take care of it. If you talk about nonsense, you have to ask Gao Ming. I heard very Worrying for you, even persuasion for a long time, there is no change. Just now he said that you have come, and asked me to ask, do you think it is bad?"

Shaozhang turned pale when he heard the words, he couldn't help but let go of all the enthusiasm when he came here, knowing that Gongfu usually uses A Tan to curry favor with rich people such as Boyue, regardless of whether the other party is right or not, he just answered "yes" twice Because of these two words, ordinary friends have become his spoken language. When they get together every day, they have to say "yes", "yes", "yes" and "four" homophonously, and they get together every day. Zhen eight".As usual, follow the rich man's pole, especially if the other party says something bad about someone, he will answer "yes" repeatedly, even his own father will never make an argument for him, and he will do a good job.Boyue didn't know about whoring and gambling in Beijing this time, and he didn't want to talk about Shanxi because of his bad tongue.It is expected that when Boyue said that he must have added a lot of oil and salt. He and Boyue have been drinking friends for many years. They have not done enough and have done more bad things. At this time, they really can't be offended. However, Boyue misunderstood that he wanted to abscond with money, and he was not really suffering. Otherwise, if he didn't have money, how could he prostitute and gamble in Beijing?Every time there is Gongfu on the scene, Ye Jing can be freely revealed, and Boyue will not believe it.A few days ago, I treated him as a good friend, stayed with him all day and night, invited him to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and even paid the money for the game against the opponent, but now I asked him to come up with a proof, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted and hated it .

After staying for a while, he said in a trembling voice: "This is really wronged. It is ridiculous to say that I love whoring and gambling. I admit it. It's not that I don't know the pros and cons. How can the public money be rolled up and gone? There is an old man, I have children, don't you know the importance of the benefits? The bastard is telling lies. I have accumulated more than 13,000 yuan over the years, because the government is in a hurry, and Zhao Zilong is against me, so I can't make it up. I took my wife and fled to Beijing. Because I was looking for Boyue to be away, I was unlucky to meet the damn concierge, who said that Boyue would come in three or two days, because I was worried about my father's letter, and it was inconvenient for my wife to smoke opium, so I wanted to wait. I saw Boyue discussing a way to see my father again, and I was really upset every day. At the wrong time, I met the old bustard, Mr. Hei, and dragged me to sit in the team for a while. Tired, I haven’t been to Beijing for a long time, I feel fresh, and I have a few of your old friends together, I am also confused, thinking that waiting for Boyue in Beijing is the same, if he comes to Beijing, you will be the first to know, so later I didn’t even have my family Go to inquire. I only stretched out on the outside, that's for coaxing the girls in the team, can't you see? Don't be afraid you will laugh, I really have no money, and all the money I spent was accumulated by my wife over the past few years A little private savings, less than 2,000 yuan in total. I lied to her that I was trusting someone for a sports errand. I lied to her, and now there are only more than 200 yuan left. I am such a face-saving person, and I didn’t even get a prostitution account when I came here. You can imagine it. If you don’t believe me, ask Boyue to search my house. Don’t say too much. It’s only three hundred yuan. If Lao Xi catches you and shoots him, he won’t help you, and he won’t complain. You and I have been good friends for many years. , please help me wash it, and beg him to save me. I am not good myself, and I have been fooled and resigned to my fate, but my father is old, how can I stand up to such adversity? I said that if there is even half a lie, it will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

Seeing that he was incoherent in a hurry, Gongfu said with a smile, "Yes, I think it's not that Boyue didn't help, it's also because you were unlucky, Ruuo rushed here as soon as he arrived in Beijing, I heard that he won seventy to eighty thousand gambling in those few days, you The matter of more than 10,000 yuan is definitely not a problem, just put it out in one sentence. Even I lost the chance, otherwise the red money alone could be divided into three or two thousand. However, he has had bad luck in gambling these days, so he won first He spit it out, and lost tens of thousands. Last two nights, he lost two big games in a row, losing more than 30 acres of land in Majiakou and Kangtong salt land. Li Junmen came here just now for this reason. Things. Hands are tight, unhappy head, you came at just the right time. This is also one of the reasons.

"He originally said that he couldn't help, that friends are still friends, that fleeing officials and losing money is no better than political prisoners, and people in the concession can still use notes to arrest people. If you don't want to spit out the money you got, you can hide for a while, or wait until things cool down." It’s okay to go out for activities, or to stay away for a while. It’s okay to slowly try to clear it up. It’s just that I can’t live at home. Someone will go there sooner or later. It’s better to move to the mansion. Power, the people who come here just watch and dare not come to arrest. According to my plan for you, if you have no money to spit out as you said, you still don’t know Boyue’s temper? He can do whatever he wants when he has money, otherwise how can he Everyone has something to say, but it’s never as good as you wish. It’s useless to talk to him when you see him. It’s better not to worry about it for the time being, so as not to make you unhappy, and it will be even more difficult in the future. Move here to live from today, and wait until he After a change of luck, I got the winnings, and I will ask someone to talk to you again. Every time he does righteous deeds and great good deeds, he is all on the head of Qian Duoxue. You don't need to spend anything, and you can ask him for a monthly allowance of three or two hundred, and the other party can't catch you. What is there to worry about? He thinks that the secretary's pen is not good and his mind is too dead. You live here. You can also help him with writing and writing, build more friendship, open up space for the future, and we are good to each other."

Shaozhang heard the words seriously but calmly, felt that Gongfu was very thoughtful, and still asked him to introduce on his behalf. When he was young, his old father, Tathagata, asked Boyue to say that Shanxi had already issued a trustee. It seems that after paying the public funds, there will be further investigation No, make up your mind again, and stay here for a while, wait for the letter to proceed, and never mention the matter of Beijing.When the words are reached, we will meet again inside.Gong Fu responded with two words "Yes", and walked away first.After a while, Shaozhang came to invite him, and Shaozhang went inside and entered the study room. He saw that Gongfu was alone in the room.Following the servant, he brought in a pair of exquisite cigarette trays, and placed them in the middle of the rosewood couch inlaid with mother-of-pearl inlaid with marble.When Shaozhang came, he hadn't smoked his cigarette yet, he needed it, so he hurriedly lay down on the opposite side of Gongfu, sitting on his head, burning the cigarette and chatting at the same time.Gongfu repeatedly questioned how the public funds were lost.Shaozhang has long suspected that the person he met in Shanxi was a fan, because he didn't know that Boyue was friendly and wanted to be tested. It's already on, why bother to listen to jokes again, for a while, he hesitated and refused to tell the truth; Gongfu knew that he would not tell the truth, so he stopped asking.

The two talked about eleven o'clock before they saw Boyue walking in with Yifu.Shaozhang smoked to avoid Yifu, heard a coughing sound from afar, got up quickly, made a gesture with Gongfu, and pretended to read a book against the wall.When the two of them walked in, they first talked to Boyue, then greeted the old father and asked when he came.Yifuben and Boyue saw it first, although Boyue didn't say clearly that Shaozhang's stay in Beijing was absurd, but once he listened to him, he knew there was an unspeakable secret, and because Boyue tried to persuade him again and again. Come and live, I can always help each other, so I was never very anxious. Hearing this, he replied: "I will not come here for a while. It would be great if Boyue kept you here. You don't have to go home. I will go back after dinner and call someone." I'll bring your luggage here." Boyue said: "You don't need that, everything is here." In front of his old father, Shaozhang couldn't tell him what to do when he went home, so he had to apologize and said to Gongfu, "Father. If you go home after dinner, please ask your father to order Xiongsun to come, the son still has some trivial matters to send to him." Yifu knew his intentions, and said coquettishly: "What else do you need, I will call Wu for changing clothes. The granddaughter brought it here with you, why did you call Xiong'er? Did you smoke opium just now?" Shao Zhang hurriedly said, "Old Xi's smoking ban is very strict, how can officials dare to smoke, they have forgotten it long ago." Gongfu said hurriedly : "Shao Zhang didn't smoke, I'm a little uncomfortable today." Boyue said again: "Lying on the cigarette plate is easy to chat, so I put it on." Yifu laughed again: "You are also fifty, and I am too." You can't control much, just ask yourself if you feel at ease. You see, Boyue, before the age of 30, was addicted to couples when he was not yet developed. He said he would not smoke, and he has not done so for 10 or 20 years. This is a really strong husband. You can afford and let go of everything, how can you be so absurd?" Shaozhang answered repeatedly.Boyue knew that Yifu's family rules were strict, and that father and son were very stiff together, so he urged dinner.

After dinner, Yifu went to the study room by himself, and went back after teaching. After a while, he sent Shaozhang and Wunushu to bring the clothes.Knowing that she hated Ah Xi the most, Shaozhang felt unbearable pain in his heart, so he had no choice but to inquire about Ah Xi's situation and told his family to treat him kindly.Shuwei smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, she is Daddy's person whether she is good or bad, it's not like she used to bully others by making trouble for nothing, and no one wants to mess with her. But now that Daddy is out of work, the lawsuit is coming, and she smokes too much. Bad luck, the big box of ointment that got up early, my father had only smoked a few sips, and my daughter had already bottomed out when she came. The cigarettes will increase every day, not counting other minor expenses, it is almost half of our household of more than 20 people The daughters don’t even have a pair of shoes and socks to spare. She plays like this, the daughters and children say, think about grandpa, he dare not even play ten or two cards. Why did you ask me about your experience?" Shaozhang was blushed by her words, so he could only argue forcefully: "She didn't have much addiction at first, but I smoked more. I also served me these few days, anxious, tired and sick , but smokes more, but the money to buy cigarettes is her own, I don't give it to you." Shuwei smiled and said: "Who doesn't know her origin, she was naked when she came, and even the change of clothes belonged to my family. Where does the money come from?" Shaozhang knew that Shuwei was smart and able to talk, so he let it go, and persuaded with a smile: "It is true that I gave her a limited private house, but there are also friends who gave her it, and she did not offend you. Please, let me be more lenient." Shuwei couldn't help but said angrily: "My daughter is telling the truth, who can tolerate her?" When she was about to speak, Gongfu and Wu Juntang, who was in charge of the accountant, both walked into the room. , Said that the front table has been opened, and Boyue has something to go out after eating, so he asked Shaozhang to go.Shuwei shut up when she saw outsiders, each said hello and walked to the upper room, and didn't mention it when she went home after dinner. From then on, Shaozhang stayed in the Sun's house, and Boyue never asked about the past, but treated him very generously.Shaozhang didn't know that although Boyue was tight with losing many times in a row, he also suspected that Shaozhang was hiding something private, and wanted to find out the details before doing it, but he didn't put it to the back of his mind. He was worried about the lawsuit and missed Ah Xi at the same time. The old father came to grandson every day In the tutoring center, I can't speak and go home to visit, it's really uncomfortable.On the fifth day, the eldest son, Xiongfei, suddenly returned to Tianjin from the Longyu Coal Mine in the west of Beijing run by Boyue. On the day he arrived home, he was catching up with Shanxi detectives to find out where Shaozhang was. , Xiongfei hurriedly went to Sun's house to report the letter. When Shaozhang heard that he could not go home for the time being, he missed Ah Xi even more.The time passed quickly, more than ten days passed, and there was no further movement. People from the family also said that the two or three suspicious-looking people had not appeared at the alley for several days. There is no suspicious person who stays and inquires, and his courage has gradually grown.That night, Xiongfei and Xiongtu brothers went to the provincial father together. Boyue was happy because his luck had changed a little in the past few days. Xiongfei was also the manager of his company, so he specially ordered the kitchen to set up two tables for dinner.Shaozhang knew that Xiongtu would only give him some money and he could obey orders, so he called him to the side and asked about the situation at home, only to find out that Axi had heard that Shaozhang was staying with Sun's family on the day they broke up, and he couldn't go back for a while, so he cried all night, and the next day The eldest daughter-in-law took her to kowtow to her father, but she didn't say anything to her. She was always afraid and hid in the room and dared not come out.The next day, two local people came to visit one after another. The family members were supposed to be Shanxi detectives. They were actually Huang Qi and Ma Er who met in the tobacco shop that day. For many days, I left early and returned late.The children once ordered Xiongtu to investigate secretly, but they still went to the smoke hall and waited. Shaozhang knew that Huang and Mazhu were all gangsters, and Axi didn't know the benefits, and sooner or later he would suffer and suffer, he became more anxious when he heard the words, and asked angrily: "Is that the place where our women go, why don't you stop her? Xiongtu said: "Grandpa has been angry and anxious every day since what happened to daddy, and he ate half a bowl of food. At first, Fifth Sister and the others used to scare her with grandpa and not let him go out often. When she saw that she couldn't go out, she cried in the room He said that my house is a prison, and he can't live this life. He didn't mean to seek death, but he said he wanted to go to Sun's house to find his father. Fifth sister and the others were afraid that she would embarrass her, and they were even more afraid that grandpa would be angry. They knew that this paper tiger would not be exposed. Half-frightened and half-coaxed, she was a little wary. She went early and returned early. If she made a fuss, what could she not do? She was at home to cheer up her grandpa, and going out was to embarrass her father. This made everyone afraid of her. As long as you don't make trouble, how dare you stop it?" Shaozhang was anxious and angry when he heard the words, and scolded: "How do you think she is not an adult? She is her mother without telling her grandpa, she still has some money at hand, if she wants to eat or ask you to buy it for her, she is very happy, how can she run out?" Xiongtu smiled and did not answer, turned to leave, Shaozhang bowed Drink: "What are you busy with? I said you don't want to say a few words? I won more than 50 yuan playing small cards last night. I will give you the five yuan. This big box of cigarettes was given to me by Boyue single-handedly." , I kept half of it, and brought the other half to her, saying that I would visit her sometime during the day, that I should not go to the smoking den, so that I would not worry, and told her to take care of herself and not to worry. I was not allowed to tell anyone when I went home. " Xiongtu responded with a smile, took the cigarettes and money and went to the living room together, and they dispersed. The more Shaozhang thought about it, the more annoying he became, and he didn't sleep well all night.At dawn, I just closed my eyes, and suddenly I heard the sound of rain on my pillow. I got up and saw that it was raining heavily. There was already several inches of water in the yard, and the rain was still falling. The water mist was transpiring, it was dark, and the sky was very dark.He secretly thought that even the detectives would not be out waiting for such a heavy rain. At this time, he suddenly went home to visit Ah Xi. If the rain did not stop that night, he could stay overnight and return tomorrow morning.The more I thought about it, the happier I was, so I pressed the bell to call Tang Sheng, the servant, and asked, and said that the master would come back from the club at dawn, and the rain started at eight o'clock, and it was already ten o'clock.After Shaozhang finished washing in a hurry, he took a few quick puffs of cigarettes and told Tang Sheng that he was going home without even eating a snack.That Tang Sheng was originally a general of the Jiangsu Dahu Naval Battalion in the Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, he was recommended by the old master Liu Tong to the Sun family as a servant. He was the only servant used by Boyue who was the most loyal and hardworking. Knowing the matter very well, he persuaded after hearing the words: "Two people with a Tianjin accent came this morning before it rained. They said they were friends of Mr. Zhou and came to visit. Liu He was at the door and said that there was no such person, and he was still dead. The trouble is that the younger one saw that he was a local gangster, so he went out to scare him away, and at the same time told Lao Zhang to pretend to be shopping, and drove him out through the back door to have a look. Seeing these two people passing by, they turned north together. Although they didn't listen to their conversation, they looked like they were going the same way. I am afraid that Shanxi sent someone to the Tianjin Police Department to register, and even the local detectives came to handle the case. There are notes in the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. If you don’t go out of this gate, there will be nothing wrong with the face of a master. If you go out and be blocked by him, it will be hard to say. Fortunately, the old man comes every day, and the young master and young lady will arrive as soon as they call. Everything is convenient, it is best not to go back in this rainy day, I really have to go back, and I will wait for the master to get up and discuss it before leaving." Although Shaozhang was moved when he heard the words, it was as if he would be imprisoned for two years. He thought about Ah Xi too much. He was afraid that Yue Qi would stop him. It was rare that there was a chance of rain. , Tang Sheng replied: "One said that the surname is Huang, the other said that the surname is Ma, and even said that he is the brother of Master Zhou. How can you believe him? First of all, based on the status of Master Zhou's family affairs, there will never be such friends. Isn't it reasonable? It's just strange that he is acting like an insider. If the subordinates want to be tender, they must be blindfolded. The more they do this, the more careful they should be. How can they go back?" When Shaozhang heard it, he knew it was Huang Qi and Ma Er. When they got active, they thought that those three people were with Yilu, and they must also be Huang and Ma's smoking friends. Otherwise, Chinese detectives would not be able to find people in the concession. Relieved, he smiled at Tang Sheng and said, "You guessed wrong. One is tall, the other is short, one is thick, the other is thin, with a smoky face? They are not gangsters, but local businessmen. I have known each other for many years. Although they are businessmen, they are connected to the upper, middle and lower roads. On the day I arrived, I met with him and asked him to campaign for Shanxi people to eliminate this matter. I live here and he I also know that there may be some clues to come here this morning, but this kind of person can't make him come to the door. At this time, he will go to my house and ask someone to meet him at the place. In fact, you should tell me first, I will meet him outside and say hello A few sentences are fine, so I have to go back." Tang Sheng believed that the visitor was definitely not kind, but he was half-believing when he heard the words, so he tried to persuade him again, but because he wasted his energy, Shaozhang felt that he was complaining, and he didn't say anything. If you want to go back, you have to say: "Master Zhou has to go, the master will get up and have dinner quickly, and leave after lunch, and don't fight for a while." Know the details, the sooner I go, the better, hire me a rubber car and leave immediately." Seeing that the persuasion refused, Tang Sheng kept complaining, so he stopped talking, walked out, and ordered the servant to hire a car. Shaozhang just wanted to go home, and made up some lies, but he didn't know that Huang and Ma had already found out the truth from Ah Xi's mouth. They were greedy for rewards, colluded with people from Shanxi, and came here to lure them.First of all, because the Sun's family has a tight population and a great style, they are still not reconciled to bluffing back, especially because Huang Qi heard Ah Xi tell Ma Er that Shao Zhang would return in a few days, thinking that the old guy was hiding in the rich man's house and was thinking about it. The hanged ghost girl, I can't guarantee that I won't take advantage of these two days to go home and visit. After I left, I discussed it with Zhao Jincai from Shanxi, and I felt that what I said was reasonable. I knew that the vicinity of Hongyili, the border between Britain and France, was the only way for Shaozhang. Shop, the shopkeeper and Huang Qi knew each other, and they said that Biyu and others were waiting inside.At this time, Ma Er had already pleaded guilty to Huang Qi in public, and took Huang Qi as his minion. Fearing that Shao Zhang's foreign car would be covered by a canopy, he still ordered Ma Er and Zhao Jincai's deputy, Yang Debiao, to take turns standing guard against the heavy rain. Under the eaves of the shop at the corner of the road, I watched from a distance at the gate of Sun's house, and saw someone going out in a car, and I saw that the person in the car was Shaozhang, so I acted according to my own plan, and asked people to rush forward to inform.Stayed until noon, but no one from Sun's family went out. It turned out that Zhao Jincai had spent a lot of money on public expenses, and he was protracted. Although he registered at the Tianjin Police Department, he still had to handle the matter himself. Too tricky.Inadvertently met Ma, Liu and Huang Qi's dog legs at the gate of Zhou's house, and led them to the new hotel to meet.Huang Qi saw that the three officials who handled the case looked rustic.Putting on airs, patting his chest like this, speaking in an orderly and logical manner, Zhao Jincai and others rushed to the doctor for emergency illnesses, and was immediately bluffed.Huang Qichu thought that the rewards are limited, not as good as Shaozhang's meat, which can be eaten frequently, after finding out the details of both parties, he originally wanted to let Axi start, and had a bad idea to destroy the three old Xi.And ordered Huang Qi to take a breather, Ah Xi didn't know that he and Huang Qi had surrendered and reconciled on the third day, so he actually said what Shao Zhang said that Huang Qi and others were gangsters, and said that now that Premier Sun was protecting him, the old man Yan Zilai was also helpless.Huang Qiben hated Ah Xi for refusing to talk to her, and he took the matter of asking for Zheluo as a joke and told it to everyone, sarcasm at any time, was immediately provoked, and had evil thoughts, and secretly scolded me for asking you, you stinky bitch We ate a meal, but also fell into a shortcoming. If you don't give a damn, you don't know the name of the Seventh Lord, so you fell to Zhao Jincai's party that night.After thinking about it for a few days, he actually came up with a good plan to extradite him without a note from the concession authorities, trying to lure Shaozhang into arrest.It's ridiculous that Ah Xi and people from Shanxi have been meeting every day, sometimes facing lights together, and mentioning things about people from Taiyuan to each other. Huang Qi knew everything about the other party's true and false details. The night before, he and Zhao Jincai got three o'clock in the new hotel. After a little confusion, they bought sesame seed cakes and fruits. The five of them stuffed themselves together, took a few sips, and rushed to the British Concession. Manbi can lure people away as soon as he arrives, but he hit a snag when he came to the door.At this time, seeing that the rain is getting heavier and there is no shadow of the person, I conclude that the other party must go home within a day or two, and wait until I find out and go home before making a move. The police in the Japanese Concession are not easy to mess with. It is best to lure and intercept them in the British and French Concession.I don’t know when to get out, it’s hard to wait, I’m afraid I’ll miss something, there are three opium smokers out of the five, they’re both addicted and hungry, and after struggling for a while, they finally come down the steps, maybe just left, The servant didn't know how to tell Shaozhang, which made him wary, so he didn't dare to go back today, cursed each other a few times, and was planning to go back to the new hotel to eat and drink before making a decision, when Shaozhang went out to get on the bus at this time. Ma Er first heard the young servant of Sun's family standing at the door hiring a car, shouting: "Rubber, Cheyangdi Pinghe, who will pull it?"Huang Qi was refreshed after hearing the report, so he hurriedly hired a car and waited.After a while, I saw Ma Er running towards Shaozhang's car. Huang Qi, Zhao Jincai and others greeted him. The driver had already agreed, so he pulled up and followed.Although Shaozhang spoke hard to Tang Sheng, he also murmured in his heart, after getting into the car, he looked out from the crack of the curtain, and saw that the rain had not stopped, and there were no people on the left and right except for the occasional rickshaw passing by on the road. Renzu thought to himself: "If there are detectives, they will be on the sidelines. No one is willing to wait in the rain in such a heavy rain. There is no one at the door of Sun's house, and there is a car roof blocking it. Even if they encounter it, they can't see it. It’s clear that there’s nothing wrong with me, why can’t I be in a calm mood, always chaotic?” Thinking all the way, I didn’t realize that I passed the border between Britain and France, and suddenly I felt someone shouting from behind the car: “Stop the cart, there is Zhou County in the cart. Is it long?" Shaozhang was startled, and just about to say no, he urged the car to go quickly, but the car had stopped, and a man came running from behind the car, holding the curtain of the car and poking his head, shouting joyfully, "Is it really you? Look at this Hurrying all the way, I almost didn't let me shake out the black smoke from yesterday, why don't you thank me for waiting?" Shaozhang heard the familiar voice, and looked closely in surprise, the person who came was exactly The gangster Ma Er I met in the new hostel was sweating profusely, emitting hot smoke, gasping for breath and talking, without a brain at all, calmed down, disgusted, stern, and about to explode, Ma Er had already cut to the chase, wait Opening his mouth, he went on and said, "You, hurry up and go to the new hotel, sister-in-law and the magistrate's wife are in serious trouble!" Shaozhang was shocked when he heard the words, and blurted out: "What's the matter with my wife?" Ma Er said: "Last night, the old man came home from Sun's mansion, and talked a lot about you. My sister-in-law beat you up." As soon as she left, she was bullied all the time at home, and the whole family said that she interfered with you, and the old man didn't allow her to smoke, and it was too crowded. Last night, the old man let the old man blow the stinky rolls, so angry that she ran out of the mansion today. After coming out, I went to the new hotel to smoke a couple of cigarettes. The more I thought about it, the more irritable I was, until I wanted to die. Fortunately, everyone held her down and opened a room for her. She was so angry that she cried and sent Huang Qi and me to the Sun Mansion to find you The errand is really a fucking bastard, I won’t give it back if I say it, and said that there is no you, so I have to go back. The sister-in-law heard that when you used up all her money, she changed her mind and wanted to get another lover Damn, I didn't snort at the time, but when I saw Lengzi slap a sheep's head against the wall, my brain almost didn't come out, and now I'm lying on the bed, I'm going to die. Huang Qi hit a nail in the morning, and the rain was heavy, so he must know Sun's mansion Treat us as bad guys, I won’t see you when I go, and no one will run away. I’m the most enthusiastic person, and I can’t just ignore death. Besides, our buddies are all good, and they came here despite the rain. Finally, it’s not bad this time, When I met a good man, I told the truth, and he said that you just left, and the car I hired first happened to be hired away. There was no rubber, and I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up, so I rushed here under the heavy rain. My sister-in-law took it easy. But she said that if you don’t make it before twelve o’clock, you must commit suicide. I’m afraid that if I miss you halfway, I’ll be in trouble if I look for you when I get home. The words are hard to explain, saving people is the most important thing, you should go to the new hotel After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shaozhang's answer, he told the coachman to quickly open the new hotel, add 10 cents for the wine before the horse's order, and at the same time summoned a rubber to sit on it.Seeing that Ma Er had stopped Shao Zhang's car to talk, Huang Qi, Zhao Jincai and the other four made gestures, knowing that the job was done, they drove there early while the two were talking, hired a car and rushed all the way to the new hotel. Follow the plan and don't mention it. Shaozhang didn't know that he had entered the Internet, and thought that even if Boyue's favor was not entrusted by the concession authorities, Chinese detectives would never dare to enter the territory to arrest people. An Wei, he never expected to be arrested on the first floor.The car dealership was fast, and after a while, I got off at the front of the Xin Hotel. Shaozhang’s fare had already been paid by Sun’s family. Seeing that Ma Er wanted to pay for the fare, he said, “I’ve already paid for the fare, so add another 20 cents to him. I'll give you one piece." Sui Shuo found out that there was no change, and said, "Ask the waiter to pay, let's go." Seeing that Shao Zhang took out a stack of banknotes, Ma Er hurriedly said: "The hotel doesn't care about advance money, I will pay for it." There are no zeros either, why don't you give me the money and give it to you in exchange." Shao Zhang just wanted to pick up a five-yuan bill and give it to him, but Ma Er had already snatched two, and Shao Zhang said: "Those are two ten-yuan bills. This is the opportunity for Ma Er. He pretended not to hear, but turned his head and said in a hurry: "Go up to the third floor, sister-in-law and Huang Qi are waiting for you. It is important to see the patient. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it later. I will change the money." .” Said while running outside.Shao Zhang saw that the clock on the wall was seven or eight minutes away, and it was twelve o'clock, and seeing Ma Er's whole body drenched, he thought to himself: "Don't think he is a gangster, he is really enthusiastic about his friends, Ah Xi may be able to keep it because of them." My life." Because of the reminder of the horse, I didn't have time to care about the money, so I rushed up the stairs. Before he went up to the second floor, he heard Ma Er arguing with the coachman, as if he said that Ma Er said that the car would be given more quickly, and it would not be counted when he arrived. , caught a glimpse of the clerk Zhao Si looking at the door of the smoking hall, waving his hands and winking at him, Shao Zhang felt that his expression was sneaky, and asked, "What room is my wife on the third floor?" Zhao Si saw that he didn't understand. , with an anxious face, shook his hands repeatedly, as if he was about to walk out, but suddenly retreated, and then he felt someone patted him behind him, and looking back, it was Huang Qichao Shaozhang who smirked and said, "Oh, Master Zhou, you dare to see people!" Huh?" Before he finished speaking, Ma Er had already run up, and Shao Zhang asked, "Huang Qi, where is my wife now? Please lead me quickly." Huang Qi sneered, "You still mentioned it, yesterday If we hadn’t played cards here all night, she would have died long ago. In the early morning, Ma Er and I invited you to go. It’s a grand mansion. Your wife clearly said that you were at his house. He took shelter from the wind, and said in a daze that there was no, did we run into trouble? If we really want to lose sight of people, if something goes wrong, people’s lives are at stake, is this a problem?" Shaozhang was anxious to see Ah Xi, and hearing his ridicule, he couldn't stop apologizing and thanking him, scolding the servant You bastard, he asked the date again, and Ma Er interjected on purpose: "Mayor Zhou doesn't know the truth, he and his mother are really good friends, and he rushed here as soon as he heard what I said. Don't gossip about you, come, come, you are at No. 56 on the third floor, I will take you there." Huang Qi sneered and said, "You think she's still here, and she's gone long ago." Shaozhang was shocked when he heard this, and where he was going in a hurry, Ma Er also pretended to ask: "Didn't she just take a breather, her head is full of red hair?" Blood, are you lying down? Can we go now? Can’t.” Huang Qi said: “You looked at the hotel and you opened it? Since I beat you and left, I just bought the porter’s mouth, so I don’t want to report it to the accountant. The old lady is really different. I always think that the man has changed his mind. If he doesn't know, he can go to the Sun's house for 20 days in a row and don't come back, and he won't bring some money. I heard that people can't see him, so it's better to slow down直哭，直说非跳大楼不可，请想茶房担得了吗？当时便要报告账房，我想巡捕一上来，这事就闹大发啦，再往英国地，一传本夫，到案追究，他啦身上背着官司，让山西来人知道，一张照会就把人要去，送啦忤逆，咱们跟他虽然初交，总算一见如故，能看了不管吗？古人说得好，先下手的为强，再说伤又太重，就这一会晕过去两次，我素日慷慨，讲究侠义结交，垫二钱有吗，再三按住茶房，赶急跟东洋医院打电话，叫来病车，把她给送医院去啦。我要不犯瘾，还不回来啦。这会正是医院下班，去了也见不着人，莫如我们到楼底下三号，那里离西餐馆近，先弄点吗吃的，抽完再去正是时候。” 少章一点也未疑心，反倒盼着早走，又以老父精于中医，家人有病从未延过西医，不知医院规矩，虽然忧急，一则求人的事，对方萍水相逢，已承人家帮忙，不便催促，二则地理规章全都不熟，既是此时见不着人，此去不知耽误多少时候，自己饭也没吃，来时匆忙，烟更没有抽好，便极口称谢，连声应好。又对马二道：“老二瞧你这一身湿溜滑卿的，还不赶即找地方换去。要到人家铺上怎么躺法，不会找人先借一身吗？咱们在三号等你吃饭，快去快来。”马二应声自去。 黄七边和少章往楼下走边道：“周爷别瞧我请你吃这一顿饭，抽这遍烟，咱这德行就大啦，医院里规矩多厉害，你这一去，饭倒是能外头叫，要打算抽大烟就满没那宗子事啦。可是话又说回来，也不净为你，我不也该吃、该抽吗？这至少多半天的工夫我也是顶不住，这叫作与人方便自己方便，两全其美。我是合式，赶明个你也有个想头，觉着交朋友得交黄七爷这个样的。”少章和阿细也是前世冤孽，以那一样久经风月的嫖场老将，竟会抱一个干瘦丑恶和吊死鬼差不多的半老土娼爱如至宝，一闻负气出走寻死之信，便失神丧魄，忧急如焚，既恐阿细伤身垂危，又恐昨夜事大决裂激怒、老父强迫自己将她去掉，又当这风雨飘摇之际无法另外立家安置，正在心乱如麻，并未听出黄七有心戏侮，语带双关，接口连说：“那天业经厚扰，今天内人又承帮忙救她，心中感激不尽，为我的事如何能由你请？”黄七诡笑道：“你不明白，我请跟你请一个样，走吧。”少章又朝他打听医院病人能抽烟不，可否花点钱运动一下，黄七又诡笑道：“你啦别净惦太太啦，她比你福命大，管保受不了罪，你这一顿烟可得多抽子点，这一去不定多长时候才出院呢。”说者有意，闻者无心，少章终未听出话因。 到了三号一看，地势甚仄，只有对面二铺当中一个小方桌，设备也差，楼上熟烟馆不去，为何要换地方，心方奇怪，伙计已连声唤爷将灯点上。黄七道：“你知我们为吗挪地问吧？都是为你太太早上一闹哄，金五不愿意，说闲话，让我给臭骂了一顿，他虽没敢还言，还想托人向我说和，所以不便再去。好在这三号也是熟地间，别瞧房小，烟是真好，包子有肉不在招上，你抽一口就知道啦。我说伙计你再点一灯行不行？这位周县长抽完还赶医院啦。”说时已先躺下，打开烟包就烧，伙计连忙应声，又给少章点上一份。黄七一面叫把西餐馆人唤来，要了二份牛尾汤，两盘什锦炒饭，多带酸菜，少章见他只要零菜，笑说：“七爷再要几样，怎给我省起钱来？”黄七小眼一翻道：“吗给你省钱，这是给我省啦。这不比吃折罗讲究，以多为胜，大清早上它这大件，那一盘子饭先吃不了。你要不够，我还可以匀点给你，两凑和也就够了。”少章知道和这等人让账最难，越客气话越多，好在自己也无心多吃，乐得由他省去，便不再争，笑问：“还有马二呢？”黄七道：“你打量马二像咱们文明人啦？上次鸿宾楼那个吃劲你还看不透，再说吃西餐他也没有那大造化，他来啦，或是百八十羊肉韭菜饺子，或是二三十个火烧，二毛钱酱时子，再花一大子弄两条酱萝卜准保欢式。要叫他弄这一套刀子叉子简直是玩不转，那不是恶心他吗？这小子属狗的，你不给喂饱哪行去？整格的，你身上有多少钱，老嚷会账？”少章道：“不多，只二三百块钱，七爷是说医院要用吗？” 黄七原和赵进财等约好，除应分赏格之外，犯人身下彩头全归他支配，觉着油水颇好，又见少章蠢得可怜，这次见面当他掌中之物随意侮弄，已不是吹拍，近乎腔口，屡露机锋，毫未警觉，反把自己当作好人，心想听阿细说起此人家世地位明是一个少年公子老封君，并还五世同堂有福之人，平日不知何等享受，少时汽车一到，立成阶下之囚，又是个有大瘾的人，家中不知音信，钱再被净数搜去，即便不折腾死也够受的，不由天良微动，诡笑道：“医院用钱还在其次，他这烟不错吧，你吃完抽足就进院，要是有钱，有朋友照应，也是能抽能喝，他那儿可没好烟，要不你带两块钱应急也好。” 少章本觉这家烟不好，阿细吃惯搂上那家，怕抽不服，正盘算如何买法，不知黄七所说医院便是看守所，还觉这类人狗屁不通，谈吐太糟，明是探看病人；却说成自己进院养病一样，因黄七好似自负有功，长了气焰，称谓神情均颇做兀，远非昔比，用人之际，不便违他好意。心想：“医院如不能抽，阿细当日便须迁出。如若能抽，再打发院役到楼上买，至多花两个零钱，并无关系。他现和楼上金五不对，且买两块钱敷衍他，免使不快。”闻言笑应“好、好”。便叫伙计另买两块干泡揣向身上。黄七说完话又后悔，知少章量大，一买就两三两，虽然买多了到时仍可索回，终没现钱好，一见只买两块，甚是满意，暗道：“老帮子倒真知趣，有造化，你要真买得多，到时我黄七一心疼钱，就心许都给你没收，你反一点也落不下，这样倒好。”
