Chapter 15 Yu Zuobai secretly made a "business"

A few gulls hovered over the Yongjiang River with their wings condensed, swaying their postures.Watching the bright sunlight illuminating part of their bodies, while leaving the rest in heavy shadows; watching them soar slowly and circuitously, and then gradually turn sideways and fly southeast along the river; The reflection of the blue sky in late autumn on the rippling water!Yu Zuobai's eyes were dizzy. "People have little power, people have little words, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. After all, life is just a dream, tossing and sinking in the sea of ​​bitterness of dreams!" Waves: everything that is solemn, happy, sad, excited, depressed, excited, crazy, tumultuous, timid, frightened, proud, wronged, noble, base, satisfied , Frustration, hatred, pity, greed, hypocrisy, despair, hope, immediate, distant, welcome, and resist all these people are tossing and sinking in the sea of ​​​​dreams, no one can I don't know where I will be thrown by the turbid waves, but everyone knows that I am driving towards a self-righteous goal!

He opened his eyes suddenly, as if awakened by a rough wave in the dream sea: Ah!Life is short, and life is hard to come by, so you should go through it boldly and vigorously!This is the private back garden of the provincial chairman, located at the confluence of the beautiful Yongjiang River and Nanhu Lake. A Guangxi Zhuang style wooden building is built along the river. From the outside, except for the gray-brown tiled roof, it is surrounded by cedar boards in an orderly pattern to form a wall, and it is covered with scale-like moss. Mottled, it seems that it has been eroded by wind and rain.But when you walk into the room, the furnishings inside are quite luxurious and elegant: jade screens with carved leaves and patterns, mahogany tables and chairs and tea tables are bright, glass chandeliers and candle lamps are used alternately, and a row of low cabinets are equipped with telephones, record players and induction generators. There was a huge topographic map of Guangxi administrative region hanging on the wall.

Yu Zuobai will secretly meet with a "special envoy" here today. He has thought about it over and over again: the good or bad of his cousin's trip to Nanjing is uncertain; He has made up his mind: life is gambling, as long as the other party is willing to pay a big price, he will roll the dice to make the deal! "Chairman Yu, Mr. Xue is already waiting downstairs." The staff officer of the guard walked briskly to the viewing platform and reported cautiously. "Okay! Hurry up and invite Mr. Xue upstairs—" Yu Zuobai stroked his hair twice, lifted the hem of the loose purple silk robe, and turned back to the living room.

Xue Yue was wearing a silver-gray silk robe and was carrying a delicate wallet. His face was radiant and his gait was as light as a swallow. After the two parties sat down, drank tea and smoked, and said a few polite words, they quickly cut into the substantive meeting. Yu Zuobai: "It can be seen that Mr. Xue is here today, I think there must be good news to share!" Xue Yue: "Brother Jianhou (Yu Zuobai's character) really has a sharp eye, and he can see three points in wood!" Yu Zuobai: "When we talk about business between brothers, there is no need to beat around the bush. You can just talk about it."

Xue Yue: "General Commander Zhang Fakui has raised the banner of defending the party against Chiang in Western Hubei, and generals Feng, Yan, Tang and others have also responded by telegram, and together they will fight against the national traitors! Mr. Wang has repeatedly urged Chairman Yu and General Li to come out of the mountain and take up the posts of the chief and deputy of the Fourth Army. The position of commander-in-chief is to jointly support the great cause of the party and state created by Mr. Sun Yat-sen." Yu Zuobai: "It is my duty to protect the party and save the country! But I am so shy, and the brothers who carry guns are hungry and hungry, how can I take on this important task?" National banks such as the United States, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong have opened accounts, and overseas Chinese businessmen and compatriots have generously sponsored them. As long as volunteers move, US dollars and Hong Kong dollars can be transferred directly to Guangxi.”

Yu Zuobai: "As the saying goes, Tang painted pottery horses can't be ridden, and flowers in paintings don't smell fragrant. I, Yu, have already suffered from Lao Jiang's buying and selling, and I don't want to suffer a second time!" Xue Yue: "Brother Jianhou is too worried. Now that I'm here, how dare you distract me?" Yu Zuobai: "Before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. At present, the three regular divisions in Guangxi can't afford to pay, and they are about to smash my threshold!" Xue Yue saw that the time had come, and there was a three-point show off in his leisurely manner, so he took out a delicate key from his underwear pocket, and with a "click" sound, he opened the buckle of the wallet, and took out two keys that had been locked. Wang Jingwei personally signed the letter of appointment, and then took out a cash check of four million Hong Kong dollars, and asked Yu Zuobai to look at them one by one.Finally, he pushed the key and the wallet in front of Yu Zuobai: "This is a little idea that Mr. Wang asked me to forward, please accept it, Mr. Jianhou. When the flag of rebellion is raised, Mr. Wang will set up a special account for Chairman Yu in Guangxi. In the future, HSBC Bank in Hong Kong will transfer the money directly."

Yu Zuobai accepted the letter of appointment and the check, and when he heard that he would set up a special account for him, his chest was full of joy: "Hahaha! Mr. Wang is a friend, a friend!" He turned and opened the drawer, and took out a brocade jewelry box , which contained a jade snuff bottle: "Mr. Xue has worked so hard, I have prepared a small gift for Mr. Xue. It is not a respect, please accept it, accept it." Xue Yue: I wish Brother Jianhou all the best and a successful start! Yu Zuobai: Please tell Mr. Wang, as long as he gives an order, we will respond immediately!

Yu Zuoyu learned from the phone call from Chen Haoren that his brother was secretly discussing "business" with Xue Yue, and felt that the situation was serious, so he rushed here in a hurry.But he came a step too late, the "business" was done, and Xue Yue left quietly. When he stepped into the living room, Yu Zuobai was answering a call from Li Mingrui from Guilin: "Cousin! I came back empty-handed." "Yusheng, as long as you come back safely, as long as you come back! Lao Jiang didn't dare to do anything to you, did he?" "I didn't see Lao Jiang, so I went to Song Ziwen first. Lao Jiang had issued a death order and refused to allocate funds to Guangxi. So I didn't go to see Lao Jiang again, and turned my head back."

"Okay, okay! My brother made the decision immediately, I really escaped from danger! If Lao Jiang doesn't give money, someone will." "Who will give it?" "Xue Yue paid us 4 million Hong Kong dollars in cash on behalf of Wang Jingwei" "Cousin! We must not take this money!" "Why can't I want it? It doesn't matter whether his surname is Jiang or Wang, I want whoever pays, don't want it for nothing!" "Cousin! You are so confused" "I am more sober than anyone else! The situation is changing rapidly. Zhang Fakui has declared his opposition to Jiang, and Feng and Yan have responded by telegram. As long as we send troops again, Lao Jiang will be finished! Hahaha"

"Cousin! Cousin" "Yusheng! Don't talk anymore! Lao Jiang has put us to death, how can we just sit and wait for death! Come back immediately!" Yu Zuobai hung up the phone, turned around and saw Yu Zuoyu standing in the living room staring at him with wide eyes.Of course he understood why.So he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Yu, brother has worked so hard! You heard the phone call. Your cousin went to Nanjing and returned empty-handed. Thanks to his vigilance and decisiveness, otherwise he would have been left there. " Yu Zuoyu said angrily: "Wang Jingwei's reorganization faction is what kind of stuff, don't you know?!"

Yu Zuobai said: "It doesn't matter what faction he is, whoever can give life-saving money right now is a friend. Besides, our goal is to oppose Chiang! Now the time has come, why don't we seize the opportunity and make a big fight?" Yu Zuoyu said: "Then we need to cooperate with the executioner Zhang Fakui, right? Brother, have you forgotten that Zhang Fakui suppressed the Guangzhou Uprising and massacred thousands of workers and peasants, even you and I were almost killed by him ghost!" Yu Zuobai smiled disapprovingly, lit a cigar and smoked: "Brother Yu, things in this world are very complicated, don't take it too seriously, be too pedantic. Things are always changing, there are no constant enemies, and there are no unchanging enemies. We have become friends; we were enemies yesterday, we are friends today, and we may be enemies tomorrow. We joined forces with Zhang Fakui to oppose Chiang, and how many Communists did Chiang Kai-shek massacre during the "April 12" Qing Dynasty? The CCP sent members Isn’t the purpose of coming to Guangxi to assist us also to oppose Chiang?” Yu Zuoyu felt upset and couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Brother, I'm really worried about the consequences of acting blindly like this." Yu Zuobai said confidently: "It's not our family to fight against Chiang Kai-shek. If we don't join the war, then we won't be rewarded for our meritorious deeds!" Yu Zuoyu shook his head: "Brother, you are too optimistic." He was surprised to find that the familiar face in front of him, which he respected and trusted, became more and more strange and hazy...
