Chapter 34 5. Grandpa's whereabouts are unknown

Grandpa stood up: "This is next." "In broad daylight, kill people in the street, take them away!" When Dabatou, Erbatou and others heard this, they immediately rushed in from the door, hugged the grandfather, and shouted: "Who dares to do something foolish?!" Seeing the situation, several policemen pulled the bolts of their guns and aimed their guns at everyone's heads: "What? Do you want to rebel?" The grandfather said slowly: "The officials may have misunderstood. I was eating at the Xiya restaurant just now, and I did encounter a gun battle."

"Stop talking nonsense! Take it away!" Er Batou took a step forward and cursed: "Your mother..." Hula, more than a dozen patrolmen rushed in from outside the yard, all of them carrying guns, and surrounded everyone at once. The grandfather yelled: "Erbatou, step back!" Then he turned his head to look at Zeng Jingwu and Jiang Feiyan, and then said to the leading patrol: "I will go with you." Late at night, "Muzilian" is brightly lit.The cold autumn is bleak, and the cold wind keeps blowing into the house. Everyone discussed the countermeasures nervously. It was past dinner time, and no one thought about eating.Zeng Jingwu has already contacted the informant in the French Concession, but has not returned any news.

Jiang Feiyan said: "Teacher Zeng, let's hide for a while. The Japanese have done something to grandpa, and they will find you soon." Zeng Jingwu said: "Grandpa's life or death is uncertain, how could I just leave, I have been used to dealing with the Japanese over the years, I still have a few hiding places in Nantankou, the Japanese will not find them for a while. It's just...it's just that it's really inconvenient for me to stay in 'Muzilian' all the time, once I'm targeted by the Japanese, I'm bound to implicate you." Jiang Feiyan hurriedly said, "Master Zeng is thinking too much, I didn't mean that."

In the middle of the night, Zeng Jingwu's spies came to report: "There is no grandfather in the patrol room in the French Concession, and the informants have also asked around. No one has been locked in a cell this afternoon." When Zeng Jingwu heard it, he felt bad: "Impossible? There must be a murder case in the French Concession, the French must be investigating it. The police officers who came to arrest Grandpa today all wore French armbands. How could they not be in the police room?" Jiang Feiyan said, "Will the French hand over their grandfather to the Japanese?"

Zeng Jingwu said: "Impossible! All the big powers have independent consular jurisdiction in the concession. In the past two years, due to the South China Sea dispute, the relationship between Japan and France was once tense. The Japanese assassinated grandfather in the French concession this time must have done it behind the back of the French." It is to leave this mess to France." While talking, the butler came in and said, "Mei Xuanzi is here." When Dabatou and Erbatou heard this, they were furious: "We were looking for him, but he came to the door by himself!"

Jiang Feiyan said, "Don't worry, just wait and see." Mei Xuanzi walked in with two disciples. When he entered the door, he saw that his grandfather was not there, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is my grandfather?" Erbatou stood up suddenly: "I still want to ask you!" Jiang Feiyan said: "Grandpa was taken away by the police in the arrest room in the afternoon." "Ah?!" Mei Xuanzi was also taken aback. Er Batou said: "You fucking pretend? You and the Japanese colluded to assassinate grandpa! Grandpa wants to have trouble, I will kill your son first!"

Mei Xuanzi was sweating profusely, and said, "Second master, calm down, I didn't know about this matter. I was talking to my grandfather at the time, and I don't know who the group of people who rushed in is. If I have a conspiracy, I will How could you put the dog in the grandfather's house?" Jiang Feiyan said, "Then why didn't the people patrolling the house arrest Master Mei? You were also there." Mei Xuanzi said: "During the gun battle, my disciples and I were busy fleeing for our lives. After running back to the hall, we were also very scared, so we found a place to hide first, but later found that there was no movement. Then I thought about it, someone died in Shanghai. It's normal, and the one who died was not French...so I came to find my grandfather...By the way, how do you know that those killers are Japanese, are you sure?"

Zeng Jingwu looked at Jiang Feiyan and said, "Don't worry about how we know. If you get involved in this matter, I guarantee you will die!" Mei Xuanzi sighed, "I really don't know!" Erbatou said: "Until the grandfather comes back, your son will stay at the hall first!" Mei Xuanzi was stunned: "This..." Jiang Feiyan said: "Until the matter is clarified, we have no choice but to do so. If Master Mei has nothing else to do, please go ahead." Mei Xuanzi wanted to say more, but Erbatou stopped him, and said: "Master Mei, please!" and opened the door.

Mei Xuanzi shook his head helplessly, and left with his men. In the middle of the night, Zeng Jingwu went back first, and Jiang Feiyan also asked each of the dams to go back to rest. At night, Huang Farong stayed by Jiang Feiyan's side, and the two leaned on the bedside, thinking slowly. Huang Farong said, "Godmother, nothing will happen to grandfather, right?" Jiang Feiyan sighed and said, "I hope not. This is what we do in this business, and the ship will capsize someday." Huang Farong said: "It should be fine. I have seen my grandfather's face. He is straight from the roots to the head. He is lucky in middle age. His life expectancy is at least fifty years old..."

Jiang Feiyan smiled wearily: "You girl, when is it, you still think about these things." Huang Farong blinked and said, "Godmother, if grandpa can come back alive this time, I think..." Jiang Feiyan glanced at her: "What do you want?" Huang Farong smiled: "I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him." "Talk?" Huang Farong suppressed her smile, and said sadly, "Godmother, I don't know if I should say something or not, and I don't know if I should tell you." Jiang Feiyan looked at her goddaughter, and embraced her: "Girl, what can't you say to your godmother?"

Huang Farong fell down, tears dripping on the quilt: "Godmother, I know that you and grandpa are doing it for my own good, marrying me to Zhang Zizhan, but...but..." "But what?" Jiang Feiyan felt that Huang Farong seemed to be full of grievances. "But... I don't think we are suitable..." "Huh?" Jiang Feiyan was taken aback, "What happened?" "He has a very bad temper, and he always gets into everything. He is not at all like the cheerful look when he met me. I think we got married too hastily. Over the past year, we have quarreled more than a dozen times. Now, he doesn't seem to know how to love his wife... I am one year older than him, and I have to let him do everything, and... And I think he behaves in everything, has no courage, no ambition, this Is it okay?" "Oh." Jiang Feiyan didn't know what to say, "This marriage... this marriage is decided by my grandfather and I... How about it, I will talk to Zizhi tomorrow." "It's useless. He'll always be him." Jiang Feiyan hugged Huang Farong even tighter. After a long time, Huang Farong said silently: "It would be great if I married my grandfather back then." Jiang Feiyan was shocked: "What did you say?!" Huang Farong was also taken aback by Jiang Feiyan's actions, and said in a daze, "What's the matter, godmother? I only told you and never mentioned it to anyone... Grandpa is the man in my heart, He has courage, wisdom, and can see through a woman's mind..." "Stop talking!" Jiang Feiyan shouted angrily. "What's the matter, godmother?" Huang Farong was startled. Jiang Feiyan calmed down a little, and said: "Girl, emotional matters are not trivial matters. The state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. According to the rules of our 'Jiang Xiang faction', brothers have adulterous relationships with other people's wives and daughters, killing without mercy. You can't hurt yourself like this , let alone trap grandpa in injustice." Huang Farong said in a low voice, "I'm just thinking about it in my heart. I also know it's impossible." Jiang Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Does grandfather know about this? How did he react?" Huang Farong said: "Grandpa is very thoughtful, and his emotions and anger are not visible. He always advises me to get along with Zizhan. I don't know if he really can't see it, or he is just pretending to be confused." Jiang Feiyan nodded and said, "Girl, Godmother hopes that you will be happy and safe all your life. Don't do anything wrong, otherwise Godmother will not be able to save you when the time comes." Huang Farong said sullenly, "Understood." The two women hugged each other, neither of them spoke, quietly looking at the moon outside the window. After a long time, Huang Farong said: "Godmother, if this time... I mean if grandpa..." Jiang Feiyan said, "You mean what to do if grandpa is killed?" Huang Farong nodded. Jiang Feiyan didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "What do you think should be done?" Huang Farong said: "Grandpa never mentioned the matter of his successor. If he is gone, Dabatou and Erbatou have the longest time with grandpa among the several dams in the hall. Brave and intrepid, Erbatou is impatient by nature, self-conceited that he has just become Sibatou, his foundation is too shallow, and fifth Batou is old and frail, only Sanbatou is personable and knowledgeable, but I don't know if the other Batou are convinced... But There is a better way..." Jiang Feiyan asked: "What way?" Huang Farong smiled secretly, and said: "No matter how powerful 'Mu Zilian' is, it still belongs to the 'Jiang Xiang Sect'. If the grandfather is gone, the godmother is the elder. The brothers of 'Mu Zilian' have a good impression of the godmother. Even the grandfather respectfully calls you Sister Yan, the godmother can..." Jiang Feiyan stared at Huang Farong motionlessly: "What can I do?" "The godmother can use the method of wooing, and break down each dam head one by one. Daba head is good at drinking and gambling, so the godmother just gives him money to let him gamble and drink; Erba head is lustful, the godmother can order some in a brothel A girl, let him have enough fun; since I will go to work over there, and you are his mother-in-law, he will not object too much; Wubatou Liang old man was shot wounded, he has no time for himself, let alone a person who makes trouble; Only Sanbatou, this person may rebound, but if the other Batou follow the godmother, if the godmother promises him greater benefits, he is a smart person, and he will follow suit... After things are done, 'Mu Zilian' Combined with 'Yue Haitang', the godmother can set up a rudder here, and the daughter can help you take care of it. This not only continues the incense of Jiang Xiang's 'Mu Zilian', but also the 'Yue Haitang' The influence has also grown, and when the hall meeting is held at the entrance of the four halls in the future, the weight of the godmother's words will be even greater!" Jiang Feiyan stared at her goddaughter, thinking that she was too smart, so smart that people were afraid.After a long time, he finally said: "It's a bunch of nonsense!" Huang Farong was taken aback: "What's the matter, godmother? Did my daughter say something wrong?" Jiang Feiyan said: "Grandfather's life and death are uncertain now, if you dare to talk nonsense, the family law will serve you!" But time passed day by day, and all the connections that could be found were found. The government, secret agents, gangsters, Zeng Jingwu and Jiang Feiyan mobilized all the network resources, but there was still no news of my grandfather.
