Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

Chuanwen flinched and handed the envelope containing the copy of Dongsheng Trading Company's accounts to Shi Chuan, and said in shock, "This is what Mr. Chen gave me. He said that all the accounts of Morita's capital injection into Dongsheng Trading Company were copied in it." Ishi Chuan Question: "You didn't tamper with it, did you?" Chuanwen said: "I dare not, besides, I didn't open it." Ishikawa put the envelope away, with a smile on his face, took out a large pile of money from his pocket and pushed it in front of Chuanwen, saying: "Mr. Zhu, thank you for your cooperation. This is a reward of 30,000 yuan." Say: "Thank you, thank you." But dare not reach out.Ishi Chuan said: "Mr. Zhu, our cooperation has just begun. As long as you serve us wholeheartedly, President Morita will not treat you badly." Chuanwen said: "But how can I explain to my father when I go back?" It's not difficult, I'll tell you." He passed on a few words and asked Ono to take him to make a phone call.Chuanwen followed out obediently, but Shi Chuan suddenly stopped him again, Chuanwen was in a state of turmoil.Shi Chuan walked up to him, put the 30,000 yuan in his hand, and said, "This is the due reward, you can accept it with confidence."

When he arrived at the post office, Ono stared at Chuanwen covetously.Chuanwen honestly dialed Shanhe Mine.Zhu Kaishan's voice came from the microphone: "Boss, you are back." Chuanwen glanced at Ono, tried to calm down his voice, and said, "Father, where am I in Tianjin? I'm in the Post Office." Zhu Kaishan asked: " Is the matter settled?" Chuanwen said: "Father, Ichiro is Chinese, he has become a Chinese citizen, and everyone in the Dongsheng Trading Company knows about it." Zhu Kaishan said: "Is his capital solid? ?” Chuanwen said: “Father, you gave me five gold bars, and I only used four!” Zhu Kaishan said, “Ask you if Ichiro’s funds are true?” Chuanwen said: “The accountant’s Mr. Chen, Don't mention how tight-lipped he is, no matter how I ask, he just doesn't say anything, after all I took out four gold bars, and he opened his mouth." Zhu Kaishan said: "What did he say?" Chuanwen said: "Not just talking, He also copied all the accounts of Dongsheng Trading Company to me. I read it word for word from beginning to end, and guess what? The money really belonged to Ichiro Dongsheng Trading Company.” Zhu Kaishan still murmured in his heart and said: "How much assets does Ichiro have?" Chuanwen said: "That's really big! Several big companies in Tianjin have his shares. Dongsheng Trading Company is also engaged in real estate business! I really said it on the phone Incomplete." Zhu Kaishan said: "Oh, is that my father's thinking is wrong?" Chuanwen said: "It's not bad! We underestimated Ichiro, and when I mention Ichiro in Tianjin, how much do businessmen respect him? !" Zhu Kaishan said: "Okay, Dad understands, you should hurry back and take back the things that Mr. Chen copied to you."

Seeing that Zhu Kaishan hung up the phone, Shao Jing smiled and said, "General Manager, are you worrying too much?" Chuanjie said, "Father, what a big port Tianjin Wei is! Ichiro has been operating there for so many years, and he has no strength." Can you bring the business to Harbin?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Yes, we misjudged Ichiro." Shao Jing said: "Then inform those who have withdrawn their shares to transfer their shares to Ichiro?" Chuanjie said: "Father, let's do it this way! Otherwise, those who withdrew their shares will have to continue to make trouble." Zhu Kaishan let out a long breath and said, "Okay! Shanhe Mine has finally passed this hurdle."

Looking at the large pile of share certificates of Shanhe Coal Mine on the table, Morita proudly said to Ichiro: "Little fellow, you have made great contributions to the empire and the Zhu family!" Ichiro said with a smile: "The people of Shanhe Mine also said I have done a great service for them!" Morita pointed to his head and said: "The Chinese are probably not as good as their ape-man ancestors in Zhoukoudian." Ichiro said: "My father wants to invite me to dinner for this matter. What!" Morita said, "Compared to you and me, the descendants of God Amaterasu, what are they? Can they be considered as cows? Can they be considered as horses? No, pigs are better, not only stupid, but also dirty."

Ichiro said: "Old man, with these shares, you already own 59% of Shanhe Coal Mine. The absolute controlling shareholder." Morita said: "From now on, Shanhe Coal Mine should be called Morita Coal Mine. "Ichiro said: "Old man, how do you tell the people of Shanhe Mine that Shanhe Mine is owned by Morita Products?" Morita thought for a while and said, "Didn't they invite you to dinner? Just say it at the wine table .Little fellow, I have another gift for you." He took a set of exquisite women's kimono from the side, "Give it to your wife, let her learn to be a Japanese woman." Ichiro took the kimono and said : "Thank you for your care, old man." Morita said: "By the way, there is still something to be done as soon as possible. Ask Mantie to lower the railway freight rate of Shanhe Coal Mine." Ichiro said: "Why?" Morita said: "We You can't take over a cold pot, you have to let it heat up first, so that you can make rich and delicious dishes."

Ichiro returned to the trading company humming a Japanese song, saw Xiu'er cooking, smiled and hugged her from behind, and said, "Come here, I'll give you something nice." Xiu'er followed him into the back room, and he took Morita He took out the kimono and helped Xiu'er put it on, saying: "Xiu'er, this is the best fabric, and only the upper class can afford it in Japan." Xiu'er asked, "It's so expensive, who gave it to you? "Ichiro said: "An old fellow from the same country." Xiu'er said: "Is he also rich?" Xiu'er spent a long time putting on the kimono, but she couldn't walk anymore, and said, "It's better to take it off, it's so awkward! Change to my big jacket." Ichiro said, "In the future, you really have to learn to wear it. Learn to cook some Japanese food." Xiuer said: "I don't want to learn those things, neither sour nor sweet." Ichiro said: "That's not okay, someday invite my old fellow countryman to come home, and I can eat you too Chinese food!"

While the two were talking, Wen Ta Niang opened the door and came in.Xiu'er went up to meet her, took the basket from his mother Wen Wen, and said, "Mom, why did you bring something?" Wen Ta Niang said, "A few catties of eggs and a small jar of sesame oil are here to thank Ichiro " Ichiro said: "Mother, thank me for what?" Wen Taniang said: "You calmed down those people who made a fuss about withdrawing shares, you shouldn't thank me!" Xiu'er said: "Mother, Ichiro is also you My child, are you being so polite?" Wen Tanny said: "Ichiro, have you talked to Xiu'er about the mine?" Ichiro said: "Talk a few words." Ichiro has helped our family a lot, without Ichiro our family would really go bankrupt."

Ichiro said with a guilty conscience: "Mom, from what you said, I sometimes do things wrong." Wen Ta Niang said: "Where can my child go wrong? , Can you still blame the child?" Ichiro didn't dare to look at Mrs. Wen, and said dully: "That's right." It’s a crime when it’s cold. Break an egg every morning and fry it in sesame oil, it’s good for Ichiro’s asthma!” Ichiro said with some emotion, “Mother, you’re really thoughtful.” His mother Wen looked at Xiu'er's dress and said, "Xiu'er is going to perform in a big show?" Xiu'er blushed and said, "This is Japanese clothes." Do you want to work?" Xiu'er and Ichiro both laughed.

Morita Kazuichiro took over Ishikawa and Chuanwen.Several Japanese geisha sang and danced under the seats. Morita asked Chuanwen: "Little brother, are you still used to drinking this wine?" Chuanwen smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, this is a sake bar?" Ishikawa said: "This is the best drink in the Japanese Empire." A kind of sake with a history of more than 200 years." Ichiro said to Chuanwen: "President Morita specially asked for this wine to welcome you." Chuanwen said: "Thank you, thank you." Morita said: "Little brother, this time you have helped Ichiro a lot, you have also helped Morita Co., Ltd., and even the Empire of Japan. Come, let me toast my little brother." Chuanwen said: "President, this is me It should be done." Shi Chuan said: "President Morita, Mr. Zhu is a person who understands current affairs, and we cooperated seamlessly in Tianjin." The text said: "I also have to thank Vice President Shi Chuan. I just wanted to call Shanhe Coal Mine. He found me, otherwise, it would really ruin the president's affairs."

Morita smiled and said: "The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, as long as you turn your head, the shore is in front of you." Chuanwen said: "President, you are right, my house is really a sea of ​​bitterness, my donkey is out of its old nose, but wait I opened a coal mine, and I can’t even get on the edge!” Morita said: “Little brother, I understand this, for a talented person, injustice and injustice are the greatest insult.” Ichiro said: “Old man Senior, Mr. Zhu has been unhappy at home!" Morita said: "Little brother, do you want to do something in the coal mine?" Chuanwen said: "Yes, I want to dream." Morita said: "Well, in the In my Morita Coal Mine, you are the executive director." Chuanwen said: "President, what kind of official is this executive director?" Morita said: "Participating in coal mine management is equivalent to the deputy general manager, but sometimes the deputy general manager has to listen His." Ichiro said: "This is an important position!" Morita said: "Little brother, are you satisfied?" Chuanwen said with a smile on his face: "Satisfied, very satisfied, thank you President! I will drink. "

Morita pointed to the geisha and said, "Drink less wine and look at the beautiful women more, it will be more refreshing." Chuanwen asked Ichiro, "What kind of show are they twisting?" Ichiro said, "I can't tell, I just know that these people are called geisha." Morita said: "Little brother, this is the most noble art in Japan, and it has a history of more than three hundred years. I don’t know, I know everything. Do you know where the most beautiful part of these geisha is?” Chuanwen said: “I really don’t know.” Morita said: “See their kimonos are different from ordinary Japanese women’s kimonos? Ordinary Women’s kimonos have very high collars that cover their necks tightly, but geisha’s are different. The collars of geisha’s necks are very wide open and they fall backwards. You can see their neck stems, as well as the piece of A powdered hind breast." Ishikawa pointed to the backs of the geishas and said to Chuanwen, "Did you see that? That's what attracts Japanese men the most." Looking at the backs of the geishas, ​​Chuanwen suddenly felt sick and his face was sallow.Ichiro asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Chuanwen said: "Just now I remembered your Mr. Chen, and when I heard a 'click', his neck was broken!" Ichiro sighed: "Actually. , Mr. Chen is quite a good person! This time he is greedy for money." Morita admired the geisha performance, and said slowly: "Don't let someone fall in front of you. If you want to achieve something, don't be afraid of death." After a pause, Morita said again, "Which great hero's career is not piled up with bones?" Ichiro said: "Old man, please invite the people from Shanhe Coal Mine to dinner. I have discussed with them." Morita said: "What day?" Ichiro said: "The night after tomorrow at the Modern Hotel." Ishikawa said: "Ichiro, You have to put away those copies of the accounts of the Dongsheng Trading Company, and they must not fall into the hands of Shanhe Coal Mine." Ichiro said: "Don't worry, that is impossible." The text said: "If they fall into their hands, I will just It's terrible. Ichiro, you must put it away." Only Chuanwen and Morita were left in the tavern.Chuanwen was lying on the table, already drunk.Morita smoked a big pipe, watched him silently, and suddenly hit his head with a big pipe and said, "Mr. Zhu, wake up." Chuanwen woke up, looked at Morita and said, "What do you want from me?" Morita said softly: "Mr. Zhu, it's time for you to go home." Chuanwen: "Go home?" Morita nodded and said, "Yes, go home!" Chuanwen shook his head in horror and said, "No, No, no, I dare not go home." Morita said: "You must go home!" Chuanwen said: "If I go home, once my father knows that I have lied to him, he will not spare me." Morita smiled slightly Chuanwen said: "He will kill me!" Morita said: "Kill you? Kill his own son?" Chuanwen said: "Without blinking an eye!" Morita gently tapped the table with a big pipe and said: "Is there such a father? This is the first time I've heard of it." The text said: "He has killed many people in his life, especially those like me. He will be like Kill me like a bug!" Morita said: "That's right, Mr. Zhu, don't be afraid! I understand you, but I will tell you a story, and you will understand after listening. This is my story. When I was a child , I am very willing to eat pine nuts, but I can’t bite, so I gave the pine nuts to my father, and my father bit it open for me. I opened my mouth like a bird, and my father put the pine nuts into my mouth. In the future, my father can’t bite anymore, he has no teeth, what should I do? He hit me with a hammer, what about after that?” Chuanwen asked, “What about later?” Morita said, “What do you think? Chuanwen shook his head and said, "I don't know." Morita said, "He was ill, and he didn't even have the strength to smash pine nuts. After that, he died." Chuanwen looked at Morita in puzzlement.Morita stood up and paced around and said, "We are born to rely on our parents to survive, but one day our father will grow old and leave us, and we will all depend on ourselves in the future, do you understand?" Chuanwen nodded. Morita said: "Think about it, after your father dies, the three of you brothers can only go your separate ways. Whoever lives well can only rely on your own intelligence and ability. You still have decades to go. I I have always believed that loyalty and filial piety can only be temporary, and cannot be with you for life. You can only be with you for life. As long as you can cooperate with us, the property of the Zhu family is yours, and the Shanhe Mine is also yours. Live and die for the sake of wealth, which do you think is interesting?" Chuanwen looked at Morita in a daze.Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, you are a smart man. You have already sold your father. You said that if he found out about this, he would kill you. The only one who can save your life now is me!" He lowered his head and said nothing.Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, go home. I need your help." Chuanwen said: "I will sit for a while." Morita smiled, turned and left. Chuanwen staggered home, entered the house quietly drunk, stared at himself in the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and said: "The beam of the house is the beam of the house, so it can't be the purlin! A tiger is a tiger. , you’re not a sick cat! Zhu Chuanwen, you’ve finally come out on top. Executive director, sometimes the deputy general manager has to listen to him..." Nawen got up from the bed and said, "I'm back, where did I drink so much? Why don't you drink so much first? Go home, what are you talking about here?" Chuanwen said: "Nothing, why do you wear so little?" The text said: "Can you still wear a big padded jacket when you sleep?" Chuanwen said: "Turn around, turn around Turn around!" Na Wen turned around in doubt, Chuan Wen stroked the back of Na Wen's neck, and muttered, "It's far away, and besides, there is no fragrance powder." Na Wen opened Chuan Wen's hand Said: "You dirty hoof, what are you groping for?" Chuan Wenmi squinted drunkenly and said: "What do you know, that is the most noble art." After finishing speaking, he fell on the bed, snoring like thunder. Zhu Kaishan, Chuanjie, and Shao Jing walked into the luxurious private room of the Modern Hotel. The tableware was already set on the dining table, and there was a seat card with their names written on it in front of each seat.Shao Jing came to the table to look at the cards one by one, and said strangely: "Why are there Japanese names here, Daisuke Morita and Toshio Ozaki?" Chuanjie asked suspiciously: "What is Ichiro doing here?" Zhu Kaishan pondered "Huh? Morita is here?" Shao Jing took a chance and said, "Didn't we enter the wrong door?" Just as he was talking, the door of the private room opened, and four Kwantung Army soldiers with guns came in.Zhu Kaishan's complexion changed drastically, and he said to himself: "Tonight, a big show is really going to be staged!" Chuan Wenle came in turbulently, and Chuan Jie asked, "Brother, why are you here?" Chuan Wen said: "Who knows, Ichiro didn't ask me to come." As soon as Chuanwen finished speaking, Morita came in surrounded by Ichiro, Ishikawa, and Ozaki.Morita said: "Which one is the old Mr. Zhu Kaishan?" Zhu Kaishan sneered and said: "You are the president of Morita, right?" Morita said: "It's me." .Zhu Kaishan put his hands behind his back instead.Morita approached Zhu Kaishan to look at him and said, "Don't mind, my eyesight is not good." Zhu Kaishan looked at Morita squarely and said, "Look? Shandong native, Zhu Kaishan." He took a step back and introduced Ozaki next to him and said, "This is my student, Ozaki." Ozaki stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhu, I am the commander of the Kwantung Army, Toshio Ozaki." But, aren’t you also someone who has contributed to Shanhe Mine?” Ozaki said, “I dare not, the last time I went to your mine for drills, it was really abrupt.” Ichiro introduced Ishikawa and said: "This is Morita's vice president, Koji Ishikawa." Ichiro also introduced Chuanjie and Shaojing to Morita and others.Chuanjie stopped him and said, "No need, my name is Zhu Chuanjie, from Shanhe Coal Mine." Shao Jing said, "My surname is Pan, my name is Shaojing, and I also work from Shanhe Coal Mine." Ichiro greeted everyone to sit down, and he approached Zhu Kaishan and said, "Father, today I will..." Zhu Kaishan said with a sullen face, "Changing your mouth, I only have two sons on this table." The text said: "Father, Ichiro is not Are you also from our family?" Zhu Kaishan glanced at him, but said nothing.Ichiro smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, I should be called General Manager Zhu here. I am honored to invite you here today. One is to thank Shanhe Mine for electing me to the board of directors, and the other is to talk to the three managers of Shanhe Mine. Discuss something: from today, Shanhe Coal Mine will be renamed Morita Coal Mine." Zhu Kaishan stared at Ichiro and asked, "Why?" Ichiro avoided Zhu Kaishan's gaze and said, "I have already transferred my shares to Morita Bussan. Chuanjie said: "You don't have this right!" Morita said: "As the controlling shareholder, Ichiro has given him this right by law." Ichiro nodded and said, "Yes, the law gave me this right." Shao Jing stood up angrily: "Ichiro, you are really a wolf, a wolf in sheep's clothing." Chuanwen said: "Shaojing, if you have something to say, how can you scold others?" Zhu Kaishan glanced at Chuanwen, and Chuanwen said Wen quickly turned his face away.Ichiro took out a list and said, "Let me announce the personnel arrangement of Morita Coal Mine: Chairman, Mr. Morita Daisuke; Vice Chairman, Ozaki Toshio, Zhu Kaishan, Ishikawa Koji, and myself Kameda Ichiro; Director , Zhu Chuanwen, Zhu Chuanjie, Pan Shaojing, among whom Zhu Chuanwen is the executive director." Zhu Kaishan said: "Ozaki, who is carrying a foreign knife, has also become the vice chairman?" Morita smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, didn't you just say that Ozaki has contributed to Shanhe Coal Mine? He will continue to contribute in the future. Zhu Kaishan asked Chuanwen again: "Chuanwen, you have also become the executive director?" Chuanwen said: "Father, am I not the boss of our family? President Morita said that it is unreasonable not to have my position in the coal mine." Zhu Kaishan said: "Ichiro, who is the general manager?" Ichiro said: "The general manager is the chairman Daisuke Morita himself, and the deputy general manager is you, as well as Ishikawa Koji and me. As for Zhu Chuanjie and Pan Shaojing, let's do the following. thing." Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Aren't you here for a drink and a meal today? Let's not talk about these things. President Morita, Shandong people have a rule, open a cup and drink first Three, how about it, would you give me some face?" Morita said with a smile: "It's not a show of face, it's Daisuke Morita's honor, come!" Zhu Kaishan and Morita each drank three cups of wine.Ichiro raised his glass and said, "I would like to respect the three managers of Shanhe Coal Mine." Chuanwen also raised his glass and said, "Take me too." The two said: "Take up your cups, today is a happy day for Ichiro and Chuanwen, let's take a sip." Ozaki turned to Shao Jing and said, "Young man, did you bring that little toy again?" Shao Jing said angrily, "No." Ozaki said, "That's good, there will be less embarrassing things, come on, Cheers to our second meeting." Shao Jing said: "I don't have that elegance." Zhu Kaishan persuaded: "Shao Jing, Ichiro's dishes are so good, they are delicacies from mountains and seas, even Feilong soup is delicious. Isn't it a pity to come up and not eat or drink?" Shao Jing said to Ozaki: "Then drink three." Ozaki smiled and said: "I am willing to accompany you." Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, Ichiro's transfer of Shanhe Coal Mine to Morita Bussan is actually a kind of gratitude from Ichiro to you." Zhu Kaishan said: "Is that true? Taking Shanhe Coal Mine can also be called repaying gratitude?" Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, the reason why Ichiro transferred Shanhe Coal Mine is because Morita Co., Ltd. has extremely rich experience in coal mining. In this regard, your Shanhe Coal Mine is not good, right?" Shao Jing said: "It's nonsense. It has been built for three years, and the daily coal production per worker has surpassed that of Japan." Morita said: "Really? Why didn't I know?" Ishikawa said: "Mr. Pan, your calculations are wrong." Shao Jing What else to say, Zhu Kaishan stopped him and said: "Shaojing, let's say a few words less, the Japanese are so capable, we can't believe it! They are kind-hearted, even if they go to other people's homes, they will not snatch them. Before leaving, grab two gold and silver treasures. The Japanese are benevolent. If you are reluctant to ask him for that little gold and silver treasure, the Japanese will not use guns or guns. If someone in your family dies, then you have to complain I ran into someone's gun, right, President Morita?" Morita lowered his face, and took out his large gold pipe from the wide sleeve of his kimono.Zhu Kaishan said: "Oh, President Morita is also a good smoker." Morita said: "I have been smoking for forty-two years." Zhu Kaishan said: "That is two years shorter than me." Zhu Kaishan also smoked He took out the cigarette pouch, lit it, and said, "President Morita, would you like to have a sip?" Morita said, "Yes, Mr. Zhu, you can also try my British shredded tobacco." Morita took Zhu Kaishan's cigarette pouch, took a sip, and coughed profusely .Zhu Kaishan also took a sip of Morita's pipe and said, "It's sweet, with a strange smell." Morita played with Zhu Kaishan's pipe and said, "Mr. Zhu, what material are you made of?" Zhu Kaishan Said: "Usually. The cigarette holder is agate stone from Mount Tai, the stem is a bamboo tube from Mount Lao, and the pipe pot is even less valuable. It is a copper pot made by a blacksmith in my village." Shi Chuan said: "Mr. Zhu, President Morita's pipe is not an ordinary pipe." Zhu Kaishan said: "I can see that it is made of gold, and the quality is quite high! There seems to be some words on it?" Jing leaned over, looked at the golden pipe and said, "It's the word 'Tuotao', the word 'Tuotao', the name of Tuo, the wave of waves." Zhu Kaishan said, "Shaojing, how do you say these two words?" Jing said: "This is a sentence that Emperor Meiji said in his book to appease the people, called 'open up thousands of miles of waves, spread the country's prestige in all directions'." Zhu Kaishan said: "It is to go overseas and invade other people's countries. Huh?" Shao Jing said, "That's what it means." Zhu Kaishan took the golden pipe, looked at it, and dug it hard with his thumbnail, and dug it again, and the word "Tuotao" was gone!Zhu Kaishan returned the golden pipe to Morita.Ozaki frowned and said, "Mr. Zhu, isn't it impolite to do this?" Four soldiers of the Kwantung Army surrounded Zhu Kaishan with their guns pointed.Shao Jing pulled out his pistol and said, "What are you doing? Go back!" Morita raised his hand, and the golden pipe flew out and knocked down the gun in Shao Jing's hand.The Kwantung Army soldiers picked up their pipes and pistols and gave them to Morita.Morita took the pipe and said, "Give me back the gun." The soldier said, "There are bullets in the gun." Morita said, "Give it back to me." Ozaki stuffed the gun into Shao Jing's pocket and said, "Young man, you are always so excited." Morita looked at the pipe with the handwriting cut off, and said, "Mr. However, I will find someone to engrave those two words again." Ichiro said: "I drank the wine and ate the food, shouldn't I talk about serious things?" Chuanjie said: "You are serious. The matter needs to be discussed on another occasion." Morita said: "What occasion?" Zhu Kaishan said: "See you in court." Shao Jing and Chuanjie said: "Yes, let's see you in court." Zhu Kaishan got up and said: "I think that's it for today. I'm leaving." Chuanjie and Shao Jing also stood up. Chuanjie looked at Ichiro and said, "Ichiro, have you really become a Chinese citizen?" Zhu Kaishan said, "Then Do you still need to ask such nonsense?" Morita said: "Mr. Zhu, that is not nonsense, it is the will of God, and Ichiro obeyed the will of Amaterasu." Zhu Kaishan smiled, came to Morita and said: "President Morita, let's meet again." Morita stood up and stretched out his hand and said complacently: "Thank you, old man, for coming." Zhu Kaishan held Morita's hand, calmly With a force on the ground, Morita trembled and almost squatted down.Zhu Kaishan said, "See you later." Morita gritted his teeth and said painfully, "See you later." Zhu Kaishan took Chuanjie and Shaojing out, and Chuanwen ran after him.Morita fell down on the chair in pain, Ozaki, Ishikawa, and Ichiro gathered around to have a look. Morita's four fingers had turned black and were hanging down like noodles.Morita gritted his teeth and said, "I must kill him myself." Ichiro turned pale. The whole family gathered in the living room.Chuanwen stood aside, his eyebrows lowered.Chuanjie looked at a pile of accounts on the table and said, "Father, there is nothing here to prove that Ichiro became a Chinese citizen." Zhu Kaishan asked Chuanwen: "Then why did you say in a high voice on the phone that Ichiro joined the Chinese nationality?" Chinese nationality?" Chuanwen said: "All the people in their business company told me so, and you didn't ask me to check the evidence in this regard." Zhu Kaishan said: "Then the evidence of Ichiro's funds is all true? Chuanwen said: "Father, this is definitely true! The busiest place in Tianjin is called Quanyechang, where every inch of land is expensive. There are five major companies there that all have shares in Ichiro, and there is a western-style building next to the Haihe Bridge. Two of them belong to Ichiro, and the spinning mill in Tianjin Wei also owns Ichiro's shares. Dad, you said Ichiro has such a big property, would you be afraid to invest 1.8 million in us?" That Wen said, "Father, what happened?" The son asked, "Grandpa, did my father mess up?" His mother Wen said, "Father, didn't you just drink some wine? You messed up at the banquet." Why are you so angry at home?" Zhu Kaishan said, "You, you adopted a wolf!" After speaking, he slumped on the back of the chair exhaustedly.Nawen hurried forward to pour a glass of water, then turned around and asked Chuanjie, "My third son, what happened?" Chuanjie said, "Something has happened!" The Shanhe Mine was transferred to the Japanese Morita Co., Ltd.” Wen Ta Niang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “His father, is there really such a thing?” Zhu Kaishan nodded weakly and said, “I’ve been fighting hawks all my life, but this time I’m called an hawk.” I'm blind!" Chuanjie said: "Brother, let me ask you a question, why did Morita & Co., Ltd. ask you to be the managing director?" Chuanwen blinked and said, "Didn't I just say it at the banquet, they just watched I was the eldest in the family, so I didn’t say anything else.” Wen Ta Niang thought about it and said: "I really can't see that Ichiro still has such ghostly eyes." Na Wen said: "So, our whole family was deceived by him?" Yu Shu said: "Shameless, shameless Japanese Robber!" Zhu Kaishan said, "Boss, I don't have the strength to ask you anymore. Your father is still in the dark about whether your words are true or not!" Chuanwen pointed to the pile of account copies on the table and said, "Father, the evidence It’s all here, you really don’t believe that you can ask Lao San to read it to you again from beginning to end.” Zhu Kaishan ignored him, and said to Chuanjie: “Lao San, you and Shao Jing add up, go to court with Morita and the others! Chuanjie agreed and said, "Okay." After discussing, they went back to the house.Chuanwen happily said to Nawen, "You can get me another pot of wine." Nawen said, "What? You still want to drink, you want to die of drunkenness!" Okay, let's wash your face!" The text said, "I've become your boss, I have to wash my face and beat myself." The text said, "Should I hit you? I have something good to tell you." The text said: "Bear, what can you do? Tell the truth, what did you do in Tianjin?" Chuanwen said, "Check Yilang's accounts!" Nawen took out an envelope from the drawer, and put it on the table. Pai said, "Where did you get the 30,000 yuan?" Chuanwen said with a grin, "It was earned from doing business with Ichiro." Nawen said, "You made it? Why did you hide it in a small cabinet?" ?” Chuanwen said: “Aren’t you afraid of losing it? Let me tell you that wen, I’m no longer an ordinary person.” That wen said: “You’ve become a god.” Chuanwen said: “I dare not think about being a god— —Executive director, Shanhe Coal Mine, no, the executive director of Morita Coal Mine. Do you know what the executive director does? Directly participate in the management of the coal mine. The power in his hand is greater than that of the deputy general manager! Nawen, our good days are coming! I went to Tianjin to run errands for them, and they made me such a big official, President Morita is much better than dad." Nawen said: "I told you to be confused, you went to Tianjin, not our dad sent Is it? Why did you run errands for Morita Bussan?" Chuanwen widened his eyes and said, "Is that called running errands? It almost cost me my life. Let me tell you, Ichiro borrowed all his money." The text said, "What did you say?" Chuanwen said: "It's all borrowed." Nawen looked at Chuanwen, thought about him, and said with a smile, "Come here, tell me what's going on?" Chuanwen really came over, and Nawen pushed his head in In the washbasin, he scolded: "You prodigal son, sold our father, sold the Zhu family, and sold the Shanhe Coal Mine! You also asked me to wash your face, I will make you a ghost in the water today Chuanwen managed to break free, but Wen grabbed him and said, "Go, let's go see daddy and see how daddy punishes you!" Chuanwen was completely awake for a while, salivating, and said with a smile: "Look Look at you, aren’t you my daughter-in-law? I was teasing you just now!” Nawen said, “I don’t think so!” Chuanwen said, “Why don’t you look like that? Can the accounts full of tables be fake? "The text said: "I can tell you, if you really lied, our father can smash your head off and kick you like dirt!" If you really have the ability, why did you lose the Shanhe Mine?" Zhu Kaishan went back to the house, sat on the chair, closed his eyes, his face was ashen, and he didn't feel sleepy.Wen Ta Niang said: "It's already midnight, you are still standing here, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Kaishan said: "I can't swallow this breath! How can I let Yilang be deceived!" Wen Ta Niang said: "Go to sleep Let’s think about it tomorrow. Stand here, like a plague god.” Zhu Kaishan slapped the table hard, stood up, and spit out a mouthful of black blood without taking two steps. His mother Wen was startled, and hurried forward to support him and said, "You're so angry, oh my god, you're vomiting blood!" Zhu Kaishan gasped and said, "It's nothing serious, I just got angry." His mother said: "Tell the children to find a doctor!" Zhu Kaishan said: "It's not so delicate, pour some water for me." His mother Wen quickly poured a glass of water, and Zhu Kaishan drank it slowly. A secretary opened the door and walked into Zhang Jinghui's office in the Eastern Province Special Administrative Region Chief Executive's Office and said, "Mr. Zhang, someone wants to see you." Zhang Jinghui said, "Who is it?" The secretary said, "Mr. Oh, he's an old acquaintance of mine, please invite him in quickly." This Zhang Jinghui, about sixty years old, is a bit fat, with a mustache, and a pair of eyes flashed slyly from time to time. Morita came in, and Zhang Jinghui went up to greet him and said, "Brother Morita, why are you free today?" Morita also took a few steps and said, "Brother Xuwu, congratulations, congratulations on being promoted to the governor of the Eastern Province Special Administrative Region!" Zhang Jinghui He smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you Brother Morita for remembering my younger brother's nickname!" Morita said: "As a small citizen under the rule of your Chief Zhang, how dare you forget your name and nickname!" Zhang Jinghui said: "You It’s not Xiaomin, you were the commander of the Japanese army back then!” Morita said, “At that time, you were the commander of the patrol battalion of the Qing Dynasty, right?” The two laughed. Morita said: "Brother Xu Wu, I came to visit today to ask for something!" Zhang Jinghui said: "You're welcome, don't talk about asking for words. You and I have worked together twenty-five years ago." Morita said "That's right, it wasn't you, Zhang Guantao, who personally reported to us in that battle. My Morita's troops are really going to suffer from the Russians!" Zhang Jinghui said, "Tell me, what do you need brother to help with?" Morita Said: "You know Shanhe Coal Mine, it has become my Morita Coal Mine." Zhang Jinghui said: "This is a great thing!" Morita said: "That's where the trouble lies.山河煤矿不情愿，现在听说已经向东省高级法院起诉了。”张景惠说：“山河煤矿是些什么人开的？”森田说：“一帮子小商小贩。” 张景惠说：“哦，他们懂什么法？扯他妈王八犊子！回头我和法院的人说，不许他们胡闹。”森田说：“那就太谢谢叙五老弟了。”张景惠凑近森田，低低地说：“老兄，打听你一件事，可要说实话呀！”森田说：“只要是我知道的。”张景惠说：“最近，关东军是不是要有大的动作呀？”森田说：“没听说。”张景惠狡黠地一笑道：“你们驻朝鲜的两个师团，不是已经移防到图们江了吗？”森田得意地笑了说：“叙五老弟真是精明过人！我想过去我们合作得很好，现在我们又在合作，将来我们一定会合作得更好！”张景惠也微微笑了说：“本人对此也坚信不移。” 二人心照不宣地相互拍了拍肩膀。 朱开山在床上昏睡着，文他娘在一边陪姚厅长说话。姚厅长说：“老嫂子，大夫是怎么说的？”文他娘说：“大夫说啊，他这病是从气上得的，可是，吃了好几服顺气去火的药，也没怎么见强，这两天反倒有些重了，时不时地有点糊涂。”姚厅长说：“病可不能拖啊，换个大夫看看。”文他娘说：“换好几个大夫了。” 朱开山睁开眼，望了望姚厅长说：“这是哪位啊？”姚厅长说：“老哥，是我，姚振中，矿业厅的。”朱开山说：“哦，姚厅长啊，对不起你啊，山河矿要丢了！”姚厅长说：“老哥，别这么说，传杰他们的起诉书，我看了，道理讲得挺清楚。法律上有明文规定，控股股东可以转让买卖，但是必须经过董事会和股东大会通过。打赢的可能性很大啊！”文他娘说：“但愿官司能赢，官司赢了，他这病也能去一大半子。” 正说着，那文领了一个人进来，说：“爹，娘，这位是法院的，姓梁，梁法官。”梁法官说：“东省高级法院民事厅主审法官，梁汉清。”姚厅长说：“你好，我是矿业厅的，姓姚，姚振中。”那文朝着梁法官说：“人家是姚厅长。” 梁法官并不搭理姚厅长，径直问道：“床上这位就是山河煤矿的总经理朱开山吧？”朱开山说：“是我。”梁法官板着脸，看了看文他娘和姚厅长说：“我有几句话想单独和朱总经理谈，你们可以出去一下吗？”朱开山说：“不用吧，都是家里人。”梁法官看一眼姚厅长说：“你也是朱总经理的家里人吗？” 姚厅长一笑道：“当然不是，可是我和朱总经理有兄弟之谊，我叫他老哥，他叫我老弟。”朱开山说：“山河煤矿能开起来，能走到今天，姚厅长没少出力。”文他娘说：“梁法官，俺是他老伴，姚厅长和俺们家不分里外啊！”梁法官说：“那好，不过，咱有言在先，我今天说的，作为当事人的配偶和朋友，你们一概不得外传。”姚厅长说：“就是说要保守机密呗！”文他娘说：“俺肯定做到。”朱开山说：“你放心说吧！” 梁法官说：“山河煤矿的起诉书，我认真看过了，今天给你们的答复是：本厅不予受理。但是，需要补充一句，这不是我梁某人的本意。”朱开山说：“你这个话，我听着糊涂啊！”姚厅长说：“是有点含混，你宣布不予受理，怎么又说不是你的本意啊？”梁法官说：“你也是官场之人，应当清楚，官大一级压死人，张景惠，张长官你一定熟悉吧？”姚厅长不屑地一笑道：“那个人，早晚投进日本人的怀抱。”朱开山说：“这话怎么讲啊？”姚厅长说：“1929年，张学良宣布东北三省易帜，甩开日本人，一切听从南京政府的。张景惠那时就明里暗里地和张学良作对，到处讲他们张家父子的东北军，如今兵强马壮，哪能忘了人家日本人的提携。” 梁法官说：“就是这个张景惠，当上东省的行政长官了，一再打电话给法院，说山河煤矿起诉森田物产，纯属刁民闹事，不得受理。”朱开山说：“这么说，官司没等打，山河煤矿就已经败了？”梁法官说：“不要简单地做如此悲观的推测。”姚厅长说：“你有什么高明的办法吗？”梁法官说：“朱总经理，在矿权纠纷这件事上，你们能不能再找个别的申诉理由？” 朱开山说：“说森田煤矿没通过董事会和股东大会的允许，就收购山河煤矿，这条理由不挺硬实吗？”梁法官说：“是，理由比较充分，可是，本厅一旦受理，判决的结果你知道是什么吗——只能是叫森田物产补上董事会和股东大会这个手续。最终，煤矿还得是森田物产的。所以，也是出于这层考虑，本厅才听从了张景惠的话，不予受理。” 姚厅长朝朱开山说：“老哥，你不是一直怀疑那个一郎的资金来源吗？”朱开山说：“是啊，可是叫人查了一番，结果那些资金还真是一郎的。”梁法官说：“收购股权必须是自有资金，拆借来的法律上一概不允许。如果在这一点上你们能找到证据，我梁某人现在就可以宣布，山河煤矿胜诉！”姚厅长说：“老哥，要不我找银行的朋友帮着查一查？”梁法官说：“这倒是个很好的渠道。”朱开山点点头说：“那就麻烦你姚厅长了。” 一辆卡车开来，传杰从车上下来进了自家的院门。院子里站满了人，连楼梯和二楼的走廊上也都是人。传杰问一个伙计说：“家里干什么这是？”伙计说：“三爷，大老爷给老太爷请了个大神来。”传杰一皱眉说：“怎么还闹这些东西？”他匆匆上了楼梯，直奔朱开山房间而去。 屋里光线很暗，窗户上遮了窗帘，桌子上摆了香炉，燃着香。朱开山坐在椅子上，头上蒙了块红布，文他娘站在一旁扶着他。当厅是一个大神，敲打着一张单鼓，身上系了条五彩的短裙子，腰间是一圈铜铃铛，边唱边跳：“俺东山上住来，东山上待，那王母娘娘，俺叫她师太。葫芦开花来，一片片白，今日行善，俺下到人间来，要问俺的名和姓，仙号远扬，'胡三泰'！” 传文赶紧上前跪拜说：“是狐仙大老爷来了，请受俺一拜。”那文也小心翼翼上前说：“狐大仙，不知道俺爹害的是什么病？”传杰来到娘身边说：“娘，烟熏火燎的，不能把窗打开？”文他娘说：“你哥不让，说那样就跑了仙气。” 大神又唱：“病家不是真有病，只是心眼没放正！” 文他娘说：“你说他心眼不正？”屋里屋外围观的人说：“扯他妈王八犊子，老太爷哪件事不公正？” 大神唱：“老太爷忠义，刚烈又英明，只是家中的事情没摆平。” 传文跪在地上，仰起脸问道：“狐大仙，不会吧？俺爹一向公正，你是不是嫌他把饭庄和货栈都压给我一个人？” 大神唱：“西瓜、赖瓜都叫个瓜，他把赖瓜甩给了老大。” 文他娘说：“饭庄和货栈那是俺朱家的命根子，应当应分交给老大看管。” 大神唱：“和山河煤矿比一比，饭庄货栈哪值得提？” 那文说：“矿上的事情，老大也参与了，还是常务董事。怎么俺爹的病到现在还不好？”传杰说：“娘，俺爹怎么让这种人进来？”文他娘说：“你爹正糊涂着呢，你大哥就把大神请来了。” 大神唱：“病家病家，你听真了，王母娘娘在发话：从今往后你少操心，家事交给朱老大，保你大病小病连根拔！” 传文说：“狐仙大老爷，照你这么做，俺爹的病就能好？”大神摇摇头说：“还得做点功德。”那文说：“什么功德？” 大神唱：“送你神符整四张，东西南北烧个遍。王母娘娘蟠桃宴，还少大洋三百元，三百元啊三百元！” 朱开山揭开红布。传文问爹说：“爹，狐仙大老爷的话，你都听见了？”朱开山说：“听得清清亮亮，你是盼着我早些死，你好接过这片家业。”传文说：“爹，你可是冤枉俺，俺请狐仙大老爷，都是为了你的病啊！”朱开山说：“知道你的这片孝心，你先把狐仙大老爷打发走吧。”传文答应着，从地上爬起来。 那文跟着传文随那个大神出去，说：“长耳朵的都听出来了，你是叫装扮成狐仙大老爷的狗东西替你说话！”传文装糊涂说：“他替我说话了吗？我怎么没听出来？”那文说：“我再给你学一遍，那个狗东西这样指着咱爹唱：'病家病家，你听真了，王母娘娘在发话：从今往后你少操心，家事交给朱老大，保你大病小病连根拔！'——他这不是替你在跟咱爹要权吗？”传文说：“俺也没想到，他怎么唱出那么些东西来，连我都晕头转向的。”那文说：“你就别装扮了，连我都看出来了，咱爹能不知道？你肯定事先和那个狐大仙勾搭好了！看咱爹收拾你吧！”传文说：“收拾什么？狐仙大老爷说得准不准吧？”那文怒不可遏，抬手朝传文脸上抽了一巴掌说：“准你个老勺子吧！” 传杰出来，见传文捂着脸说：“大哥，你怎么了？”传文挤出点笑说：“刚刚你大嫂亲了我一下，有什么事吗？”传杰说：“咱爹叫你过去一趟。”传文捂着脸说：“俺脸这么个样，怎么过去？告诉咱爹，换个时候呗！”那文说：“赶紧去吧！咱爹能亲死你！”传文无奈，硬着头皮进了屋。 文他娘说：“老大，你请那么个狗东西来，真是为你爹治病吗？”传文说：“娘，俺可是真心真意为俺爹的病好啊，那文还给了他二十块钱呢！”那文说：“爹，你就别生传文的气了，刚才俺已经叫他尝了点滋味。”传文说：“爹，你叫俺来还有别的事吗？”朱开山瞅着传文，痛心地说：“老大，你和家里生了二心哪！”传文说：“爹，你这话怎么讲的？这么多年，俺不一直都实心实意地跟着你和俺娘，你们叫俺往西，俺从不往东，你们叫俺上山，俺从不下河，哪件事不是听从你们的？爹，这么说吧，我要是和家里有二心，白天出门撞上车，晚上出门遇见鬼，就是待在家里也得遭天打五雷轰！” 朱开山合着眼，气得浑身颤抖，沉重地咳嗽了几声，哇地又吐出一口鲜血，仰在椅子上，昏了过去。 茶几上摆了丰盛的饭菜，一郎正苦心劝着秀儿说：“秀儿，你多少吃一点吧，你得为肚子里的孩子着想不是？”秀儿不吱声。一郎说：“这黄豆、海带炖排骨，吃了最补身子了，还有这紫菜汤营养价值可高呢。”秀儿说：“叫俺吃也行，你得把煤矿还给咱爹。”一郎说：“秀儿，把煤矿转给森田物产，俺也是为了咱爹好。”秀儿眼珠子一瞪说：“一郎，我告诉你，俺是傻，可是还没傻到脑瓜子连条缝都没有！你为咱爹咱娘想？你帮着森田物产把山河矿夺过去，叫咱爹咱娘还吃什么，喝什么？”一郎说：“秀儿，有些事你是真不懂！咱爹多大年纪了，煤矿上多少事，他管得过来吗？咱三哥又太年轻，从来没经手过煤矿。人家森田物产在日本国内就开了好几个大煤矿，经营煤矿森田物产是内行！我再和你说一句，森田物产答应得清清楚楚，咱爹不用上煤矿上班，在家里也开工资，拿红利！”秀儿说：“这世上能有这样的好事？你就是把大天说破了，俺也不相信！” 电话铃急响。秀儿拿起电话，听出是那文的声音说：“咋了，大嫂？”那文说：“你赶紧给我回来，咱爹要不行了！”秀儿一惊说：“咱爹怎么了？”那文说：“回来俺再和你说，你麻溜往回赶吧！”秀儿放下电话，抓起外衣就往外走。一郎也赶忙跟了上去。秀儿说：“你去干啥？八成咱爹就是叫你气的。”一郎说：“赶紧走吧！管怎么说，咱爹养了俺一场。” 传文领着一郎、秀儿匆匆上了楼梯，边走边说：“咱爹怕是不行了！”一郎说：“这么快？”传文说：“傍黑天，他吐了半盆子血。”一郎说：“没找大夫啊？”传文说：“找了，药也吃了，针也打了，大夫说就看咱爹自己有多大的挺头了。” 秀儿听到这，心里更急，推开两人，一头撞进屋里去，差点摔倒。传杰和玉书上前扶住她。玉书说：“秀儿，你慢点。”秀儿说：“咱爹呢？”传杰说：“小点声，刚吃下药，在里屋歇着呢！”那文说：“秀儿，歇口气，歇口气，等会儿再进去。”秀儿瘪着嘴，要哭了说：“娘，俺想看看俺爹。”文他娘说：“等会儿，等你爹醒了吧。”一郎讪讪地跟进了屋。那文、传杰和玉书都不搭理他，只文他娘说：“一郎来了，坐下，喝口水。” 里屋传来朱开山的声音说：“秀儿来了？”秀儿答应着往里屋去，一郎也跟着。朱开山说：“秀儿，你身边那个人站外边去吧！”一郎说：“爹，俺看你来了。”朱开山说：“出去吧。”一郎还要上前，被那文从身后一把拽住了，说：“你耳朵聋是不是？给我出来！”秀儿坐到朱开山床前，眼泪吧嗒吧嗒地往下掉，说：“爹，你不要紧吧？”朱开山说：“要不要紧爹说了不算了，听老天爷的吧！”秀儿说：“是不是叫一郎气的？”朱开山说：“不说叫谁气的吧，爹当初不该答应你和一郎的亲事啊！”秀儿哭了说：“爹，也怨俺自个儿瞎了眼啊！”朱开山说：“秀儿，爹不在了，往后你少淌点眼泪，多长点心眼。”秀儿说：“爹，俺记下了。”朱开山说：“回去吧，爹累了，想歇会儿。” 秀儿出了屋，疯了似的扑向一郎，边哭边骂道：“你个丧良心的东西，整天嘻迷嘻迷的，活像个人样。咱爹要是今天不在，你别想活着出这个门。我，我怎么就瞎了眼哪！”那文和玉书把秀儿拉住，朱开山在里屋说：“秀儿，不是说少淌点眼泪吗？”秀儿止住哭，指着一郎说：“你个狼崽子，八辈子喂不熟的狼崽子，咱爹咱娘白养你一场了，你滚，给我滚出去！”文他娘说：“住口，秀儿，你老实给我待着！一郎和你爹是一回事，他们谁是谁非叫他们了断去，一郎和你又是一回事，他是你的男人，你怎么好开口就骂，抬手就打呢？”秀儿说：“娘，俺没他这么个男人。”文他娘说：“混账话，喝口水，消消气，待会儿和一郎回去。”秀儿说：“俺不跟他回去，死也不跟他回去。”文他娘说：“你敢，今个儿你不和他回去，看娘怎么收拾你！”玉书气得直跺脚，说：“娘，你就听秀儿一次吧。”文他娘说：“那可不行，嫁出去的人，哪能说回家就回家？”那文说：“娘，秀儿今个儿生这么大的气，就算回去了，弄不好还是生气！娘，你真想叫秀儿气坏身子吗？娘，就叫秀儿住下吧！”文他娘想了想，又问一郎：“一郎，你说呢？”一郎无奈地说：“娘，秀儿实在不情愿回去，就听她的吧，俺回去了，改天再来看爹。”他又转向那文和玉书，“大嫂，三嫂，麻烦你们帮俺照看下秀儿。”那文说：“你就放心走吧！俺姊妹再不济，对秀儿也总比那没心没肺的人强！” 一郎低着头出去了，文他娘跟出去，撵上他说：“一郎，在这个关口上，你就别挑拣朱家的人了。老爷子这么个样，谁能不动心？”一郎说：“俺知道。”文他娘说：“秀儿，也是一时的火气，我劝劝她，改天叫她回去，你们夫妻还得好好过啊！”一郎点点头。文他娘说：“要是实在还有什么委屈，就回来和娘说。”一郎眼圈红了说：“俺谢谢娘。” 送走一郎，文他娘回屋，让孩子们都出去，自己坐在朱开山身边，握住他的手说：“一郎来了，你不该不见哪。”朱开山说：“我不想听这些事了。”文他娘说：“他爹，孩子们不管多大了，在咱跟前还都是孩子。一郎这回，我思量了，准是喝了谁的迷魂汤了，中了邪。俺想，他只是一时的。你不理不睬的，不是逼他在邪道上越走越远吗？”朱开山愤愤地说：“以往怎么就没看出他是这么个物呢？”文他娘说：“咱还是把一郎拉回来吧！”朱开山说：“别忘了，他已经是森田的狗了。”文他娘说：“这话多难听！女人家和你们男人就是不一样。你们看见孩子们不周正了，轻了的是瞪眼扒皮，重了的要杀要砍的。女人家做不到，到什么时候对孩子们都下不去那个手啊。”朱开山说：“你说把一郎拉回来，怎么拉呀？”文他娘说：“我也不清亮，就是觉得心里头舍不下这个孩子，舍不得他变坏了，变得缺少人味了。他爹，当年咱能把一郎从阎王爷鼻子底下拽回来，今个儿就不能再把他从邪道上拉回来吗？”良久，朱开山长叹一声说：“女人家……善哪……” 石川在和一郎通电话，森田在一旁听着。石川对着话筒说：“一郎，你那面的事还得几天？”一郎说：“总还得三五天吧！商社这面的事也不少啊！”石川说：“一郎，森田总裁已经不高兴了，叫你赶快把商社的事情处理干净。咱们好接管山河煤矿。”一郎说：“请你告诉森田总裁，我心里也急着呢！就说到这儿吧，我这面有客人来了。” 见石川放下电话，森田说：“石川，听电话里一郎的声音好像有点不对呀！”石川说：“怎么了？”森田说：“他魂不守舍，心不在焉，少了些前些日子的兴奋和坚决。”石川说：“总裁，你是说他要反悔？”森田说：“不得不防，朱家毕竟救过他的命。”石川说：“总裁，我明白，让鹤鸣会的人严密监视他就是了。” 一郎这头真来了人，文他娘挎了个篮子进了屋。一郎赶忙迎上去说：“娘，俺爹好些了？”文他娘说：“要说也真是个神奇，他吃了两天药，睡了两个好觉，今早上就能在床上坐起来了。”一郎说：“那天可把我吓死了。”文他娘笑了笑说：“人家说猫狗有九条命，我看你爹有二十条命都不止。”一郎也笑了笑说：“娘，秀儿挺好的？”文他娘说：“还生你的气呢，死活不肯跟我过来。”一郎接过她的篮子，问：“娘这是……”文他娘说：“你不爱吃娘做的打卤面吗，俺寻思这一阵也脱不开身，秀儿又有身孕，还出了这事，也顾不上给你做。今天娘教给你，你以后自己做。” 一郎笑了。文他娘进了厨房，一边擀面条一边说：“做面条的面啊，不能太软，一边和，一边加水，太软了，下锅就成面汤了，和面的水里面再少加点盐，擀出来的面才硬整。打卤面最讲究的就是那勺卤，水烧开了，把肥瘦相应的肉片，先下进去，滚两个开，把上面的血沫子打出来，不打出来，做好的卤，有股血腥味。讲究点的配料，要有木耳、黄花菜、海米。那个海米啊，别寻思越大越好，小海米啊更鲜溜。” 一郎说：“娘，你真要教我做打卤面啊？”文他娘说：“你不是喜好这一口吗？”一郎红了眼圈说：“娘，秀儿生我那么大气吗？其实我把山河矿转给森田物产还真是为俺爹好啊！”文他娘说：“咱不说这个，好不好？那个卤啊开锅了，打进去粉子，别忘了，多放酱油，山东的打卤面讲究个颜色，就是酱油的颜色要深，这看上去才有吃头，才是山东的打卤面。”一郎点着头想自个儿的心事。 面条出了锅，文他娘又从篮子里拿出个菜盒子和一瓶酒，说：“今个儿没特别准备，就是咱四味楼的几样小菜。”一郎说：“娘，你不是不喝酒吗？”文他娘说：“今天，娘得喝。”一郎问：“今天是什么日子？”文他娘一笑道：“你呀，整天做生意都忙二虎了，今个儿不是你的生日吗？”一郎想了想说：“可不是吗，我都忘了！”文他娘说：“娘怕你忘了，不过这个生日；又怕你想起来，自个儿过也冷清，娘就来凑个热闹。来，一郎，娘破个例陪你喝一盅。” 一郎喝下一盅酒，眼中闪着泪光说：“娘，你真把俺当成自个的儿子了。”文他娘说：“这么说，就外道了。打娘把你从野地里抬回来那天，你就已经是朱家的人了。一郎，娘再敬你一盅，把生意做好，把道走好。”一郎也举起杯说：“娘，俺也祝你身板好，长命百岁。”文他娘喝进去一盅，说：“一郎，娘也不能常来，你这遭和你爹算做下仇了，娘老来，他那面也不好交代。娘不在的日子，你自个儿管怎么把身子骨保养好，把脚底下的道走好。一郎，人这一辈子，一脚踏歪了道，就步步向邪处去了。” 一郎又喝了一盅，上了酒劲说：“娘，俺没走错道，你知道俺是日本人，日本人是天照大神的子孙，俺今天做的这些事，都是神的指派。”文他娘瞅了瞅一郎，质问他说：“一郎，天底下有多少个国家？多少个人口？怎么单单就日本人高出一头，还是什么天照大神生养的？那别的国家呢，别的国家就不叫人吗？”一郎不敢碰文他娘的目光，说：“娘，森田总裁就是这么说的。”文他娘说：“一郎，娘也不和你争讲，娘这么说就是舍不得你这么个孩子，你这么个从小挺好的孩子。兴许那个森田比娘更明白天底下的事。到头来，要是证实了，你今天走的道对，娘为你高兴；要是证实了，你今天走的道错了，是入了邪道，娘也不记恨、不嫌弃你，全当娘没看护好你，叫你一个人大黑天的在风雪中走丢了！要怨也只怨娘自个儿。” 一郎低着头不说话。文他娘说：“来，一郎，娘再陪你一盅，喝完了，娘也该回去了。别忘了，待会儿把那碗打卤面吃了。”一郎低声答应着说：“娘，俺忘不了。”文他娘和一郎默默地将酒喝下去。 朱开山倚在背垛上，和姚厅长说话。姚厅长说：“老哥，知道吗？今天我给你带来个好消息。”朱开山笑了笑说：“你呀，每回来，说的都是好消息。”姚厅长说：“银行的朋友回信了，森田物产确实向东胜商社打进了几笔相当大的资金。而且这几笔资金是森田物产向银行借的贷款。”朱开山说：“东胜商社就是用这些贷款买了山河矿的股份？” 姚厅长说：“银行那面查不出这一点，但是，至少证明东胜商社接受了森田物产的贷款。还有，银行的朋友说：东胜商社在天津没有什么大的产业，也就是个平常的贸易公司。”朱开山说：“那俺家老大去了趟天津，怎么回来说的是另一番景象呢？” 姚厅长说：“是吗？这你可得好好问问。还有，要想打赢官司，必须找到东胜商社将森田物产的贷款注入山河煤矿的证据。”朱开山沉思片刻说：“这证据恐怕已经拿到了。”姚厅长说：“在哪？”朱开山说：“可是，又叫人调换了。”姚厅长说：“老哥，你这话，我听不大懂。”朱开山说：“姚厅长，你有事，你忙去吧，下面的事情我知道怎么做了。”姚厅长告辞。 朱开山让那文把姚厅长送走，又让她把传文叫到屋来。传文进来说：“爹，你喊我？”朱开山说：“你过来，坐我旁边来。”传文靠着朱开山坐下来，朱开山轻轻攥住他的手，说：“看见姚厅长了？”传文说：“看见了，不是走了吗？”朱开山说：“姚厅长带来个好消息。”传文说：“什么好消息？”朱开山说：“一、一郎的商社没有太大的资产，就是个平常的货栈。二、森田物产确实往一郎的商社注入了大笔资金。”传文说：“爹，不是这么回事啊，我亲眼看见了……”朱开山手上一用劲，传文嗷嗷叫了起来。朱开山说：“你说实话吧！不说实话你这只爪子也得成面条。”传文叫着说：“爹，你松开手，你松开手我和你说实话。”朱开山说：“
