Chapter 72 Section VI

At that time, after Guo Yanxiong led his two followers away on horseback, he felt a little uncomfortable. Fan Chenxiang spoke very coldly today, which made him feel very thoughtful.If he is dissatisfied with the old man's dissatisfaction with Po slow anti-poison, it's okay to vent his anger on him; if he has other dissatisfaction with himself, he must grasp it in time and not turn a blind eye.Because the opium business needs him not to mention, he has a relationship with the Prime Minister's family in Beiping, which is also worthy of attention.Therefore, even though the Japanese are most angry with him, he still downplayed the Japanese sentiment today, and let the Japanese focus their anger on Cheng Shaobo, Zhiyuan monk, and Zhao Yizhuo. This is of course out of his own interests need.Then, we can't downplay the Japanese hatred for Fan Chenxiang in vain, we have to let him appreciate it and be sincerely grateful, not the other way around. For this, he needs to have a serious talk with him.At the same time, from the fact that Fan Chenxiang wandered around in front of Cheng's house, he guessed that he might also be waiting for Cheng Shaobo or other Cheng family members to return, because he said that everyone went to Cheng Shaobo.In fact, He Ruohan probably didn't go, because she has a child to drag her down, not to mention, looking for Cheng Shaobo doesn't need to mobilize so many teachers.So, where is she now?Will it be at Fan Chenxiang's house?Therefore, he should go to Fan's house now.If he wasn't in the Fan's house, then he should have sent someone to spy on the gate of the Cheng's house, and then get entangled with Fan Chenxiang, chatting with him, observing him, and waiting for news from the Cheng's house and He Ruohan—so, he dialed the horse again And back, after arranging two attendants to hide in front of Cheng's house, he rode to Fan Chenxiang's house.

"You are very dishonest!" Guo Yanxiong said to Fan Chenxiang, "It's not because of your nonsense, using slow-killing poison, can the old man take his life? You didn't even say a word when we met just now, pat your conscience ,right?" Although Fan Chenxiang has a rough nature, he has always valued his own reputation more, and he thinks he has a good conscience.Therefore, it is hard not to be concerned when Guo Yanxiong suddenly condemns him with the word "conscience".Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Guo really lost his life because of this matter. Although he may be talking too much about slow-killing poisons, he is dead after all, so he shouldn't be too concerned about him.Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was indeed a little short-sighted.

"You're right! I was just thinking that the old man shouldn't tear down my platform, and I forgot the benefits that your lord has done to me. It's my fault, and I will apologize to you!" Fan Chenxiang said, bowing deeply. land. "Slap you, Fan!" Guo Yanxiong saw that Fan Chenxiang was really dissatisfied with the old man, not himself, so he was relieved, but he deliberately said angrily: "Who dares to mess with me in Guangning City? You are the only one !Although you are old, but I am a city guard after all, you must make a good apology today, and take out all the good wine in the house!"

"No problem, my lord." Fan Chenxiang had no choice but to stop looking for Han Yushu, and told Liu Ma to hurry up and tell Rugui Restaurant to deliver good food.Then he asked Han Baoshan's wife to quickly set the table and make tea and water.From the bottom of the box, he took out two bottles of Jinzhou Lingchuan and Shengjing Laojiao, the best famous wines at that time, and said to Guo Yanxiong, "How about these two wines?" "Okay, okay! It seems that you really have an old box. Let's have a good drink today, and we will rest when we are drunk!" Guo Yanxiong decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Fan Chenxiang at this time, to win him over completely, and then took off his coat and put it on Kang, but found a Japanese foreign knife on the Kang, so he picked it up and asked, "Where did this foreign knife come from?"

"Chuan Dao gave it to me." Fan Chenxiang said, his eyes fixed on Guo Yanxiong, "It's for me to avoid evil." "Look," the jealousy on Guo Yanxiong's face was fleeting, and Fan Chenxiang could see it, "Chuan Dao is good to you, you shouldn't make trouble for him. The Japanese have the final say, and you should try to have a good relationship with the Japanese.” "It's too late, I've offended the Japanese now, and I won't have any good medicine for me in the future." Fan Chenxiang said in frustration. "It's not too late." Guo Yanxiong put the foreign knife back on the kang, blinked slyly and said, "From now on, as long as you listen to me, it's not too late. Today, I have passed on the Japanese's annoyance towards you to Zhao Yizhuo It's over." Guo Yanxiong quickly advanced the topic because he wanted to increase the intensity of his emotional offensive as much as possible.

"Passed it on to Zhao Yizhuo?" Fan Chenxiang was taken aback. At this time, Rugui Restaurant brought two baskets of good food, and the two ate and drank. "Why did you pass it on to Zhao Yizhuo?" Guo Yanxiong drank a glass of wine, and the conversation became more intense, "First, he is a bandit, and he is not the same as us after all. Although it is a cooperative relationship now, once the bandit turns his face It’s a fierce tiger, how can there be no reason why tigers don’t hurt people? Second, if he is a famous leader, the rich landowners will willingly plant 600 acres of opium for him. Isn’t our reputation worth more than him? Therefore, His collaborator is actually a stumbling block for us. Without him, the benefits of opium would not all be ours! Based on these two points, Zhao Yizhuo must be killed! But we can't come forward. I want the Japanese to come forward, but Zhao Yizhuo will not If you provoke the Japanese, the Japanese will not come forward. I said that the monk Zhiyuan who bullied Kawashima was Zhao Yizhuo’s accomplice, and I also said that your slow-killing poison was done by Zhao Yizhuo’s order. As a result, the Japanese And got very angry with him."

After hearing these words, Fan Chenxiang had to admire Guo Yanxiong as the number one conspirator in the world, and then he further understood that Zhao Yizhuo's belief that he was the murderer of He Muqiao was really reasonable, and he also understood that Zhao Yizhuo wanted to break off from him as soon as possible The correctness of the idea.At the same time, he also felt very frightened by Guo Yanxiong's insidiousness, and couldn't help feeling a chill blowing out of his spine.But he still controlled himself and repeatedly toasted Guo Yanxiong to thank him. Guo Yanxiong would not refuse anyone who came, and within a short while he drank until the mountains were low and the sea was high, and the sky was tilted.

Fan Chenxiang took the opportunity to inquire: "Then how do the Japanese plan to deal with Zhao Yizhuo and the others?" "Get rid of them, catch them all!" Guo Yanxiong said unequivocally, "On the twenty-fifth night, two hundred people came, and I will send someone to be their guide." "There are still seven or eight days left!" Fan Chenxiang was afraid that he heard the date wrongly, so he tentatively checked it again. "That's right, otherwise those Japanese who got cholera wouldn't be able to recover their health, and they wouldn't be able to fight the war!" Fan Chenxiang said.

"What if it doesn't get better by that day?" Fan Chenxiang was still a little worried. "I'll send someone to check the situation again on the morning of the 25th, and if there's no problem, I'll do it that night." At this moment, a follower pushed Fan Xiaojin into the room. Fan Chenxiang was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Jin?" At this time, Fan Xiaojin was full of bitterness, she threw herself into Fan Chenxiang's arms and yelled "Dad", and burst into tears. When Guo Yanxiong saw it, he stared and asked his followers: "What's the matter? Don't Boss Fan's family members know him?"

The entourage explained: "She didn't say she was from Boss Fan's family, she just knocked on the door of Cheng's house to report to the Cheng family, and said that Shaobo Cheng was injured." "Oh? Cheng Shaobo is injured? Where is he?" Guo Yanxiong asked hurriedly. "She didn't say anything, so we brought her to see the captain." Fan Chenxiang immediately understood everything—the daughter was entrusted by Cheng Shaobo to report to the Cheng family, and Guo Yanxiong ambushed someone in front of the Cheng family and captured Fan Xiaojin.She didn't say where Cheng Shaobo is now, so he said to Fan Xiaojin: "Forget it, forget it! The people under the National University, don't blame those who don't know, you go and change your clothes, wash your face, come, I will lead you Meet your second aunt." While she was talking, she put on her shoes and pinched Fan Xiaojin secretly, implying that she should stop talking.The father and daughter walked out of the upper room and went down to the lower room.

"Don't let them know the whereabouts of Cheng Shaobo." Fan Chenxiang first told Fan Xiaojin in a low voice, and then asked as he walked down the room, "Are you here alone?" Fan Xiaojin stood down and briefly told his father about his situation and Cheng Shaobo's injury. "I've been to Liuhe Baozi in Zhangwu." Fan Chenxiang said, "Don't tell them the truth for a while, just say it's the Buddhist Lama Temple in Fuxin. Do you hear me? This is the Guoshouwei of Guangning City. Knowing Cheng Shaobo's whereabouts must be a bad thing." Fan Xiaojin nodded: "Understood." Fan Chenxiang said: "Don't leave this time, come back and inherit my family business, even the Shennong Hall here will be given to you. I moved to Beiping with the Cheng family, and the Cheng family has already entered Peiping today. You Look at the seal on the door, isn’t it?” Speaking of this, he suddenly felt movement in the wing room, walked over to take a closer look, but saw nothing, only the dead leaves on the grape trellis falling in the breeze.
