Chapter 26 Episode 26 Aftermath of love, Xue Er was arrested

Since the Lu Lanchun incident, Huang Jinrong has decided to retire and no longer care about outside affairs. Because among the "Three Tycoons", he is eligible to enjoy the late blessing.In Shanghai, he owns a large-scale entertainment business, with dozens of street houses, and he earns tens of thousands of yuan a month just for collecting rent.In the countryside of Caohejing, he built another Huangjia Garden, which covers an area of ​​more than 60 mu and cost 2 million yuan.This private villa is one of the famous gardens and scenic spots in Shanghai.The water and trees in the garden are clear and beautiful, and the garden is luxurious. The main hall is named "Four Teachings", and there are four characters inscribed with the inscription "Wenxing Loyalty" issued by Commander Chiang Kai-shek. .

At this time, he had another little-known secret, that is, he was living with a woman again.As his children and grandchildren grew up, everyone knew who was the head of the bed, so he had to hide it from his family and rented a small house near the New Town God's Temple. The 60-year-old Huang Jinrong has only one elder aunt and old lady who is a close relative.Lin Guisheng divorced him, and Lu Lanchun also ran away. The old lady often persuaded him to ask for another one.Boss Huang was in a hurry, so he had to admit with a smile: "I already have it! I have it!" The secret was leaked, and the juniors searched for it, only to find out that this was the concubine of Uncle Zeng Shaotang, director of the Shanghai Surveying Bureau, and he was also good friends with Lin Guisheng.She smoked opium, liked Bai Xiang, and lived with Huang Jinrong after leaving Director Zeng. The younger generation of the Huang family called her Xihai's good wife because she lived in Caoxi, and Du Yuesheng called her "Mrs. Xihai".

Huang Jinrong really wanted to bring this new love into Huang's garden, so he closed the door and became his rich man. However, the battle against the Communist Party of Qing Dynasty on April 12 revived Huang Jinrong's sunken ambition. He knew that he had made a lot of contributions this time, and many of the key members of the Kuomintang were his old friends. Therefore, afterward, Chiang Kai-shek rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and specially awarded him a third-class medal.So, he hung the medal issued by Chiang Kai-shek and the certificate issued by the French consul to his major in the living room.At the same time, Du, Zhang, Yang, and Chen, the four veteran younger brothers, from time to time, Brother Jin Rong would be the boss, and Brother Jin Rong would flatter him a few words, which made Jin Rong feel that the current environment is really good luck. Use your brains and pluck your lips, you can revive the reputation of the past and rebuild your own power.

Therefore, after the "April 12" Qing Party coup, at the beginning of Chiang Kai-shek's army stationed in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong cheered up, contacted many parties, and wholeheartedly prepared for a comeback.Afterwards, Du Yuesheng's confidant general Rui Qingrong became the captain of the operation team, and Xu Fusheng, Huang Jinrong's right-hand man, immediately followed up and became the spy chief of the Songhu Security Command.Huang and Du, each with his own personality, hold two important positions that hold life and death power on the beach. Although Huang Jinrong was scheming, witty and deep, and had the idea of ​​making a comeback, he did not act immediately. Instead, he relied on his rich experience and sharp eyes to coldly observe the cadres at all levels sent by the Kuomintang to Shanghai, as well as the national government. A central figure who travels between Beijing and Shanghai.He soon realized that Yang Hu and Chen Qun, who were closest to him, not only could not be representatives of the "new faction", but they would eventually cross the river like a bodhisattva, and they could not protect themselves. There was an undercurrent of deep dissatisfaction with them.Later, he discovered that brothers like Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu were senior members of the Kuomintang with higher official positions and more important status than Yang Hu and Chen Qun. Everyone worked intensely and lived a hard life.Soon he heard that a certain important person bought a pair of silk stockings for his wife, and he was scolded at the national government anniversary week, and that a certain famous person bought a bungalow, but he never dared to move in. All kinds of rumors spread wildly, which is enough to prove that Chiang Kai-shek was different from the old officialdom, so Huang Jinrong drew inferences from one example and learned from others, and the ambition aroused by Fang immediately disappeared and disintegrated, and the smoke disappeared.Therefore, he remained calm on the surface, but was secretly preparing to retreat.

Then, two more things happened, which contributed to his early retreat from the new battlefield in Shanghai.First, he had a fight with a young, promising and energetic Kuomintang official, and second, Lu Lanchun's new husband, Xue Er, was suddenly arrested. One day, Huang Jinrong heard that the Shanghai Municipal Government wanted to inspect the plays performed in various theaters, which made him very angry. He plausibly rejected it: "The city government has nothing to do with matters in the concession!" The city government sent a secretary, Geng Jiaji, to explain to him that Geng was the bridge between the city government and the concession tycoons, and was responsible for the coordination between the two parties.Ordinarily Boss Huang should be more polite to him, but Huang Jinrong knew that Geng Jiaji had to pay Du Yuesheng a salary of 1,000 yuan every month, so he sent him away in a few words.

A few days later, Geng Jiaji wrote a letter, introducing a young friend who was in charge of drama inspection, and paid a sincere visit to Boss Huang.Boss Huang would not have thought that the children from the municipal government would be so difficult to deal with. After receiving them, he spent a lot of time explaining his difficulties, and then served tea to see off the guests. At this time, his reason was that the city government's orders could not be followed in the concession. However, not long after, the French Consul General in Shanghai and the director of the French Concession Board of Directors, Fan Erdi, suddenly invited Major Huang, and persuaded him tactfully. : "Why do theaters opened by the Chinese accept the inspection of Chinese officials?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jinrong was dumbfounded and had no words to answer, so he had no choice but to agree to do so. The second thing happened even better. It turned out that Lu Lanchun and Xue Er lived together, loved each other, and the children were born one by one. Eldest young master has been idle all year round, apart from eating opium at home, the leisure is extremely boring, and sometimes he will inevitably run to the casino, regardless of winning or losing, just for entertainment. That day at the Jiangwan Racecourse, Xue Er was watching a horse race among the crowd, when suddenly two big men crowded over, one on the left and the other on the right, stretched out their hands to hold him, the hard muzzle of the gun pressed against his ribs, and then whispered:

"Don't shout! Come with us!" As a result, Xue Er was arrested. Xue Er was a rich and well-fed young master who was used to enjoying the blessings. He was caught by two big men from the crowd, stuffed into a car, and drove straight all the way. Shocked and frightened, the opium addiction broke out, and he was already tearing up his nose, yawning, and beating his mouth shut. Seeing that his body was as soft as mud, and his feet couldn't get off the ground, they had to drag him, half lift him, and half tuck him in. , put in jail without questioning. Lu Lanchun waited for a whole day, but she didn't see Xue Er coming back at night, so she stayed in fear until dawn.She also made a lot of friends in Shanghai, and knew many rich and powerful friends, but since she married Xue Er, she has been closed for two years, and ordinary old friends have long since stopped seeing each other.Because Xue Er didn't come back all night, she knew that something must have happened, so she was desperate and helpless, so she had to show her face and inquire everywhere about her husband's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, the result of the inquiry surprised her.It turned out that the people from Boss Huang's side calculated the old account two years ago, and Xue Er was imprisoned. The place where he was imprisoned was Fenglinqiao, which was specially used to interrogate and execute political prisoners!This time she was so frightened that she was covered in cold sweat, and her soul went out of her body. However, she didn't dare to ask Boss Huang, Mr. Du, or Marshal Zhang directly, so she had to find someone to do everything possible for her. She took out a large sum of money and asked someone to stay under the knife to save Xue Er's life.

On the same day, there was news that Xue Er was bought with foreign money——Xue Er was detained at the Fenglinqiao Negotiation Commission on the charge of a suspected Communist Party member.That is to say, Xue Er could be kidnapped to the execution ground anytime and anywhere, and could be killed with a single shot.The seriousness of the problem didn't stop there. The source told her that if Xue Er didn't try to solve it quickly, he might lose his life in vain. The reason is that he is so addicted to opium that it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t eat for three days. Now that he’s locked up in a big prison and the black food is cut off, Xue Er has a hard time. Moreover, Xue Er has a strong sexual desire.

Lu Lanchun discussed with several enthusiastic friends, and thought that the person to be entrusted should not only be friendly enough with the "Three Tycoons", but also be able to speak in front of Yang Hu and Chen Qun.After much deliberation, Lu Lanchun had no choice but to ask her enthusiastic friend Zhou Peiyi to visit Lu Chongpeng wholeheartedly. Zhou Peiyi told Lu Chongpeng all about the danger of Xue Er's situation and the anxiety of Xue's family, and then he asked Lu Chongpeng to come forward and try to "cut the two sides of the tofu with a knife" to settle the matter. Lu Chongpeng frowned, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This matter, we can only draw from the bottom of the pot now, and it's not time to get straight to the point and discuss the conditions. Xue Er is in prison, and I will try to stabilize him first. Boss Huang and Mr. Du, I can only talk about it for fear of embarrassment. Go find out what's going on." After he finished speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and called Fenglinqiao. The call was to Rui Qingrong, the captain of the action brigade. Rui Qingrong answered it himself. As soon as Lu Chongpeng heard his voice, he said straight away: "I know that Xue Er is on your side. 'Capital crimes are easy to suffer, but living crimes are the hardest'. Please help me put a yard. Let me send someone to send him some opium bubbles to save his life first, okay? ?” Rui Qingrong laughed on the phone and said: "Mr. Lu, your news is really fast!" "Don't tell lies in front of a real person," Lu Chongpeng replied frankly, "Your friend who asked me to stand by my side right now." "Okay, okay, bring the things here." Rui Qingrong's temper has always been straightforward, and he is loyal and never procrastinating. "I will be responsible for delivering them to you." "There is one more thing," Lu Chongpeng said, "Xue Er is not in good health, so he must be treated preferentially." "Understood." Rui Qingrong agreed, and then lowered his voice, exhorting: "However, you'd better not let the commander know about these things." There was a flaw in this sentence, and when he put down the phone, Lu Chongpeng suddenly became suspicious and thought about it for a long time.It's obviously Boss Huang's relationship, but Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and Boss Huang have always been trinity, venting their anger through one nostril. If Xue Er was arrested to "punish" him for kidnapping Lu Lanchun, Rui Qingrong accepted his request to "treat" Xue Er, why did Rui Qingrong I'm afraid Zhang Xiaolin knows it alone? Therefore, Lu Chongpeng notified Zhou Peiyi and told Lu Lanchun to send opium, food, bedding, and money for the prison; at the same time, he made up his mind to go to Du's mansion on Huagebei Road to find out about Du Yuesheng's life. tone. After arriving at Du's mansion, Lu Chongpeng beat around the bush again, and while the two of them were laying on the couch, smoking opium, he brought up the matter of Xue Er's arrest.Du Yuesheng put down his bong, let out a long sigh, shook his head again and again and said: "The matter is long overdue, why bother to dig the dung tank again today!" Lu Chongpeng was overjoyed, because what Du Yuesheng said, his attitude was obvious, and he absolutely disapproved of arresting Xue Er for public revenge.He knew that with Du Yuesheng's indication, Xue Er's affairs had a turning point. "Brother Xiao Lin lost his temper with me just now because of this matter." Seeing Lu Chongpeng smile wryly, Du Yuesheng sighed, "Actually, I just ran over to ask because Brother Jin Rong called. He said." "Ah?" Lu Chongpeng seized the opportunity to ask, "Why did the commander lose his temper?" "He said we 'dogs biting Lu Dongbin, don't know good people'." Du Yuesheng shrugged his shoulders, "He tried his best to put Xue Er on the hat of a communist party, and asked Rui Qingrong to arrest him. He took this opportunity to vent his anger. He blamed brother Jin Rong and me for not accepting his favor." Lu Chongpeng nodded quickly, and then he said frankly: I paid a sincere visit today because of Xue Er's business, because he didn't believe the rumors outside that Xue Er's arrest was related to Huang, Du, and Zhang's "three tycoons".He said bluntly: "With the identities and positions of the three of you today, how much more than doing this kind of thing that provokes criticism and injustice? Speaking from my conscience, when I heard the news, I was very anxious at the time. Xue Er is certainly not enough friends, If the boss, Mr. Du and Mr. Zhang really have the intention to care about him like this, it will worry me even more." "You're right." Du Yuesheng readily agreed, "The people on the Shanghai beach are already panicked, and the trees and trees are full of soldiers. I don't know how many lives have been lost on the Fenglin bridge. We stand so close, and there is no wind. Chilangli! Can you still do such a thing to make a joke?!" "Mr. Du said so, so I feel relieved." Lu Chongpeng breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "However, Mr. Du means, what should happen to this matter?" "You came today just in time." Du Yuesheng leaned over and sat up and said, "Because I need you for this matter!" "use me?" "Brother Xiao Lin's move just echoed a common saying: 'Master Guan sells horses, but Zhou Cang refuses to bet on them!'" The analogy is wonderful, Du Yuesheng and Lu Chongpeng laughed together, they laughed for a while, Du Yuesheng coughed, and said seriously: "Brother Jin Rong called me, he jumped up in anger, he said Brother Xiaolin was helping My favor? He is simply causing trouble for me! Huang Jinrong will never do anything to ruin his family. But even so, brother Xiao Lin just went too far and said a lot of nasty things. For this reason, it is very difficult for me to be caught in the middle now. No matter what I say, I will always feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is best for you to push the request of the Xue family to Xiao Lin and Chen Laoba. Come out and talk." "Okay, okay." Lu Chongpeng was very happy, he agreed, and jumped up: "I'll go to Fenglin Bridge right now, and see Chen Laoba first." Lu Chongpeng admired Du Yuesheng's brilliance very much, and said a few more confidant words, and Boss Huang and Du Yuesheng happened to use Lu Chongpeng as a mouthpiece to euphemistically spread their attitudes to the people.While Du Yuesheng cleared away the suspicion and got rid of the relationship, he gently put the task of asking Xue Er to be released on Lu Chongpeng.Huang and Du's goals were achieved, and Zhang Xiaolin would not lose his brother's kindness. Lu Chongpeng has a deep friendship with Yang Hu and Chen Qun, and now he has accurately stated the thoughts and attitudes of Huang and Du.Yang Hu knew in his heart that Zhang Xiaolin made his own claims and expressed wrong feelings. With Lu Chongpeng coming forward, he immediately acquitted Lu Lanchun's sweetheart Xue Er. However, rumors abounded in Shanghai later, all saying that the sensational Xue Er's arrest had been resolved, and Xue's family had paid 200,000 yuan in cash.Who took the money?There are different versions.In fact, Xue's family used money, not 200,000, but 180,000. At first, someone went to find out Boss Huang's tone, saying that Xue's family was willing to spend 180,000 to "finish the matter." Jinrong was furious. Say: "Joke! Would I use the seller's wife's money?" Huang Jinrong resolutely refused, and at the same time was very annoyed.But the Xue family was anxious to save people, and the words had already been spoken, and the vain foreign money was immediately carried to Fenglin Bridge.Where did the money go?In name, it is said that the Xue family donated to the country, but in fact it is the same thing.Yang Hu took 90,000 yuan himself, and Chen Qunxian refused to take the remaining 90,000 yuan. Later, because of his good luck for more than a year, Yang Hu used the money to build a golden house for him on Baojian Road. One day, when Lu Chongpeng went to the famous "Yeyuan Garden" in Shanghai, he saw Chen Laoba drinking tea and chatting with two charming and well-mannered young girls in the red canal of the pond. The lady has a familiar face.Lu Chongpeng didn't disturb them, and it took him a long time to remember that these two ladies, one surnamed Cheng and the other Fan, were once "communist suspects" detained in Fenglinqiao.Ms. Cheng is smart and capable; Ms. Fan is a descendant of a famous family in Anhui. Her father led the 1911 Uprising in a certain place in Anhui.Cheng and Fan were not too suspicious, so they were soon promoted from prisoners to guests, and were placed by Chen Laoba to work in the Qing Party Committee. Chen Laoba and this Miss Cheng had secretly lived together on Baojian Road for more than a year, and he was the only one who did not hide this secret from Lu Chongpeng.After flying together for more than a year, Miss Cheng's old lover got in touch with her.Miss Cheng's early boyfriend was a practicing doctor in Germany at that time, so one day, the beauty disappeared. Chen Qun watched the wind go to the sky, and could only slap his thigh.
