Chapter 16: The Enemy
Ye Chun thought it was time for him to go.
I've said all that, what do I have to stay here to sit here? As for what will happen after I leave, I can only leave it to fate. The horizontal and vertical words have been exported, and it is difficult to collect the water.
Putting down the glass, she fumbled and picked up the small leather bag and stood up: "If the handsome man has nothing else to do, I will go back." β
Lei Duli raised his head and smiled at her, but he was still pleasant: "There is a place to show movies here, let Xue Feng take you over to watch a movie." β
Ye Chunhao didn't dare to shake his head again, and smiled hesitantly: "I don't usually have the habit of watching movies......
Inspector Lei leaned back into the sofa chair: "I haven't heard that you have to develop a habit of watching movies first." Do you think I'm a bad person and you're scared of me?"
Ye Chunhao sat down, lowered his head and said, "Dashuai said this, I can't go." If I leave, the handsome man will have to misunderstand. β
Lei Duli raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "I understand what you mean." You have to make your own decisions about the major events in your life, and I will not force you. β
Ye Chunhao was slapped by him again.
Inspector Lei withdrew his hand: "I understand what you mean;
Ye Chunhao nodded slowly.
The ball room was quiet for a while, and Ye Chunhao sat upright with his eyebrows lowered and his head furrowed, gradually realizing the quietness and goodness at this moment. Inspector Ray said he "understood," and she believed he did. It's rare to have a confidant in life, and he knows her.
At this moment, someone walked in, it was Zhang Jiatian.
Zhang Jiatian was sweating, and his head was full of heat, as if he had run all the way up from downstairs. Compared with Bai Xuefeng, he was obviously lacking in rules, and after shouting a "report", he didn't wait for a response, and strode directly into the door. After entering the door, he saw Lei Duli and Ye Chunhao sitting in the dark corner, so he stopped and was stunned.
Inspector Lei didn't care, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jiatian replied: "Master Hong has arrived in the official room, will the marshal go over to see him, or let him come over?"
Lei Duli put down his legs: "I'll go over." β
After saying this, he stood up as soon as he stood up, and said to Ye Chunhao again: "You sit on yours, if you want to leave, let Xuefeng find a car to send you." β
Ye Chunhao got up and agreed, and saw Zhang Jiatian peeking at him frequently, but unfortunately Lei Duli had already walked out, and he had to leave with Lei Duli.
Ye Chunhao stood in the ball room and thought about it, and finally decided not to leave and watch a movie by himself!
Zhang Jiatian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - what kind of strength were a man and a woman sitting in that big black room? Talking in the dark, interesting?
But Rao is so uncomfortable, but he doesn't even have a person to blame. Blame Lei Duli? Then he didn't dare, he almost worshipped Lei Duli as an idol; Blame Ye Chunhao? Shouldn't it, Ye Chunhao has always behaved properly, and she doesn't eat or drink her own, why shouldn't she talk to men?
"Could it be that she saw that Lei Duli was divorced, so she had other ideas?" he thought as he walked: "With her ambition, she will definitely not do it when she is a wife, maybe she will hold back to be a handsome lady!"
Thinking about it like this, his heart was full of vinegar, and he almost vomited a sour mouthful. It wasn't until a choking breath hit his face that he came to his senses and found that he had followed Inspector Lei into the "official room".
The so-called official room is a small separate courtyard at the back of the club, and at this moment the twilight is deep, and the electric lights are turned on in the row of upper rooms. The guards guarding the door saluted first and then lifted the curtain, and Inspector Lei bent down and walked in, and after entering, he was also choked and sneezed.
This smell is the aroma of opium smoke - those who love this naturally treat it as an aroma, Lei Duli and Zhang Jiatian don't have this hobby, so they only feel that it chokes. Zhang Jiatian stepped forward and opened the curtain of the east room, the room was not big, only a big bed and a few sofa chairs, and there was a big man in military uniform lying on the top of the big bed, who was guarding a pipe of cigarette guns and snoring. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old messenger sat on the edge of the bed and burned a cigarette for him, and when he saw Inspector Lei coming in, he quickly stood up and said hello.
Zhang Jiatian has been following Lei Duli for a long time, and he didn't need Lei Duli's orders, he automatically followed up and stood at the door, without saying a word, and the atmosphere didn't come out, just as if he was not a living person, he was an ornament. And Lei Duli walked over and sat on the bed, and said with a smile: "Lao Hong, your addiction is getting bigger and bigger." β
Master Hong Xiaojiu on the bed took a deep breath of the last cigarette, and then pushed the cigarette tray and smoking utensils to the side to let the little messenger go. This time the bed was neat, he turned over, pillowed his hands and squinted at Lei Duli: "Dashuai, I can't compare to you to be merry and happy in the capital, if you don't take two mouthfuls for recreation, what else can I play?"
Rador took off his riding boots, sat cross-legged, and laughed noncommittally.
Hong Xiaojiu asked again at this time: "Dashuai, I heard that something happened to you a few days ago, and you killed Xiao Yan?"
When Lei Duli heard this, his face sank: "Lao Hong, if this person hadn't been highly recommended to me by you, why would I have killed him? I will kill all his nine clans!"
When Hong Xiaojiu heard this, he was not moved at all, and said lazily: "Then it seems that I have to thank you for giving me face." β
"I have long said that this kid is narrow-minded and a bad breed, you don't believe it, it is not that he studied military affairs in the East and is a talent!" Lei Duli continued to be indignant: "Since he came to me to be the captain of the guard, I have not been thin on him, but what about him?
Hong Xiaojiu laughed a few times, and the words changed: "But I heard that when you had an accident, it wasn't that Xiao Yan didn't follow you, it was you who left Xiao Yan in Tianjin." This shouldn't be regarded as Xiao Yan's dereliction of duty, right?"
After saying this, he also sat up, and looked to see Governor Lei's faceβhe had just been lying down, and looked like a long, big man, and now he sat up, with broad shoulders and a wide back, and a tiger's back, and another kind of majesty. In terms of age, he was also in his forties, but like a military cadet, he shaved his hair very short, so that his face was exposed. His appearance is not ugly in nature, and can even be called handsome, but when he was young, he must have had red bumps all over his face, and the red bumps subsided, and the remaining pitfalls could not be eliminated. Such a not very clean face, with a pair of fierce thick eyebrows and big eyes, is really intimidating to look at.
But Lei Duli was not afraid of him, Lei Duli looked at him directly, very calmly: "You have long ears and know everything." β
Hong Xiaojiu raised two thick eyebrows: "You just want to get rid of Xiao Yan, right?"
Inspector Lei shook his head: "I have lived in Baoding for several days, Yan Qingzhang is not without long legs, I left him in Tianjin, he stayed in Tianjin and couldn't move? Second, while he was away, my train was attacked by assassins, which is a coincidence that is too coincidental. β
Speaking of this, he saw a cigar box thrown on the bed, so he opened it and pulled out a cigar: "Don't let me find evidence, I don't have that spare time." β
Hong Xiaojiu put his hand under the pillow - as soon as this action was made, Zhang Jiatian at the door moved.
However, what Hong Xiaojiu found out from under the pillow was just a box of long-pole matches.
He struck a match and leaned in to light a cigar for Inspector Ray. The flames slowly burned the cigar head, and he stared at Lei Duli up close and smiled: "I didn't let you find evidence, Xiao Yan will be gone if he doesn't have it, can I question Da Shuai for the sake of my subordinates!"
Inspector Lei lowered his eyes, smoked the cigar very seriously, and then raised his eyes and smiled: "Whose subordinates?
When the long pole match was halfway burned, Hong Xiaojiu withdrew his hand and lit another cigarette for himself.
"Anyone can do it, you are handsome, you have the final say. β
Lei Duli smoked his cigar for a while, and suddenly asked, "Did you come to Beijing specifically to ask me for money this time?"
Hong Xiaojiu held a cigarette in his mouth and spread his hands: "I don't want money in my personal pocket, the soldiers are your Lei Dashuai's soldiers, you don't pay the military salary, and they are not allowed to find food by themselves, what do you let me do?"
When Lei Duli heard this, he began to cry and nag for more than twenty minutes. Hong Xiaojiu tried to interject several times, but he was unsuccessful, and in the end, he simply stopped speaking, and only listened to Lei Duli alone with a cigarette in his mouth. Zhang Jiatian listened from the sidelines, and he didn't know whether Lei Duli's words were true or not, but in short, he listened very anxiously - according to Lei Duli's words, they were so poor that they even had problems with tomorrow's breakfast.
After Lei Duli finished speaking, Hong Xiaojiu appeared on the stage. Hong Xiaojiu is much more simply - either you take the money, and I will leave when I get the money, or you don't take the money, and you will bear the consequences.
The two of them were soft and rigid, and they pulled their skins for a long time, but in the end, Lei Duli took a step back: "One million, it's one million, and there is no more!"
Hong Xiaojiu smiled: "Yes, you are taking me as your wife!"
The divorce was a thorn in Lei Duli's heart, and after listening to Hong Xiaojiu's indecent tone, his face changed, and then he smiled reluctantly: "If you are my wife, I will take the initiative to ask you to walk with 2 million." β
Hong Xiaojiu laughed out loud and stretched out his legs to get out of bed. Taking off his military uniform from the coat rack and draping it on his body, he turned back to Inspector Lei and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to you to get a check, thank you!"
With that, he shook the big man and walked out. Inspector Lei stared at the window until he walked out of the courtyard door.
Throwing the cigar on the ground, Lei Du lost his temper: "Fucking bastard, I ran to Lao Tzu and grabbed it!"
Zhang Jiatian lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that there were no idle people waiting, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Dashuai, you are angry." β
Inspector Ray ignored him.
Zhang Jiatian said again: "It turns out that Yan Qingzhang was recommended by him? Isn't he just a division commander, why does the marshal give him face so much?"
Lei Duli "hummed", and after humming, he said a few more words to Zhang Jiatian. It turned out that Lei Duli originally had a younger brother named Lei Yifei. In the young days when Lei Duli was not a governor, the Lei brothers and Hong Xiaojiu were friends, among which Lei Yifei and Hong Xiaojiu were especially talkative. Later, Lei Yifei died of measles, and Hong Xiaojiu blamed Lei Duli.
Hong Xiaojiu thought that Lei Xiaoli was not a good person, and Lei Duli also decided that Hong Xiaojiu was a careerist. Facing Zhang Jiatian, Lei Duli said angrily: "This person has always been full of bastard words, insisting that I killed my brother - what did I do to kill him? Grab the family property? What kind of property did the Lei family have to rob at that time?" Joke!"
Zhang Jiatian was at a loss, and he didn't know how to coax this angry handsome: "It's not worth it for you to be angry with that kind of person." β
Lei Duli continued: "He didn't listen to my words, and I am now giving him money to raise soldiers for nothing!"
Zhang Jiatian bent down and asked in a low voice: "I listen, he seems to have eyeliner by your side? What did you do, he knew it? What is he going to do?"
Lei Duli slapped his knee: "Rebellion! What else can he do?"
Zhang Jiatian was confused, and looked at Lei Duli directly: "You know, still let him go?"
Inspector Lei asked rhetorically, "Do you know how many soldiers he has?" Do you think I can hold him?"
Zhang Jiatian hesitated and smiled, and couldn't think of beautiful words for a while, so he simply said honestly: "I thought you were ...... You are the emperor of Zhili, and you can kill whoever you want. β
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Jiatian recalled the past, and asked tentatively: "That...... When I came back from Baoding last time, could the assassins I met on the way be sent by him?"
Lei Duli pondered for a moment, and finally replied, "Probably not." β
Zhang Jiatian was taken aback: "Why do so many people want to kill you? How many enemies have you made?"
Lei Duli helped him to move to the side of the bed, got out of bed and walked around the ground a few times, and finally stopped in front of him: "People are the most unlikely. It's like you're loyal to me today, but maybe in a few years, you'll get ahead, and you see that I'm in your way, and you want my life. β
Zhang Jiatian shook his head directly: "Impossible." Even if I get ahead, you will be promoted. Don't take me for a stupid boy, I know what's wrong, I have a conscience. β
"Really?"
"Really!"
Inspector Lei turned out the window and looked at his own shadow on the glass window: "I don't believe it. β
