Chapter Forty-Six: The Tenderness That Didn't Begin
In the evening, Zheng Bei and Liu Qiming chatted about what they heard from Wan Guhan today. Liu Qiming: "Will you leave these people and go with her?" Zheng Bei was stunned when he heard it: "Of course not, if you go, everyone will go together." Liu Qiming smiled: "If you take our big family, and she takes her a hundred or ten younger brothers, even if it is not called escape, it should be called migration." I once wanted to help more people after I found out that I had a special ability, but I didn't think that I could use this ability to light a cigarette. "Brother Liu, don't think about it, if you really run away with Wan Guhan at that time, we will also escape together." "It's possible for one or two or a few people to get through, how can so many people get by?" "She should have a way, she knows people from the Imperial Military, and she's so well-informed, she can always come up with a solution, right?"
Liu Qiming smiled: "This Wangu Han is really powerful, you have only seen her a few times, and you trust her so much." "I...... I ......" Liu Qiming: "I don't blame you, a beautiful woman with all kinds of charms is gentle and considerate to herself, and she tells you such a confidential thing honestly." Everyone will fall. Zheng Bei was stunned and thought, he has fallen, no?
Liu Qiming: "If you can't do anything, you can follow Wan Guhan when the time comes." You don't owe the people in this house, you should even say that we all owe you. Zheng Bei felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, although it was all hypothetical, but Zheng Bei hated the scene of life and death. Zheng Bei remembered what Liu Qiming had said when he was in Bingcheng, no matter how big the world is, where can he escape? If he can't do anything, he won't run away alone, and he is used to living with this house, and he has a feeling of family. At the thought that if he ran away, leaving Liu Qiming, Shen Yi, Lin Lili and the children, they would either be eaten by insects or starved to death in fear and helplessness, Zheng Bei's heart was like a knife.
Zheng Bei had been looking forward to Wan Guhan's appearance since early in the morning, and he wanted to ask if he could take these people with him if he fled. If you can't bring too many people, there is no second plan. No matter how many people you can bring, you don't have a way to run away, Liu Qiming said as if Wan Guhan would run away with him.
But Wan Guhan did not appear, but Zhao Chuan brought some news. Among the three giants of Fengyang, the gardener and Zhenbeiyue seem to have a good relationship, and there is no conflict between the two. However, the relationship between the two sides is not good, and there is friction from time to time. So it wasn't necessarily the same person who attacked the tiger that day. In some provinces of the Empire, there were also marching crowds, some of them were factory workers whose production had come to a standstill because they could not get raw materials from the northeast of the empire, merchants who dealt in the specialties of the Northeast, and people whose relatives had not been heard from in the northeast of the empire. They believed that the imperial authorities were hiding what was happening in the northeast, that there was a conspiracy on the part of the imperial authorities.
At this time, the imperial authorities completely cut off the tax revenue of the entire northeast region, and instead sent a steady stream of supplies there, mostly fuel, steel, and cement. Because the treasury was tight, the empire raised its tax rates in some provinces. This has also caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. Hearing this, Zheng Bei was a little worried about his family again.
In the next few days, Wan Guhan did not appear again, and did not come to teach Zheng Bei to dance as she said. On the contrary, one day someone came to collect protection money. Zheng Bei and the others hid in the yard and didn't go out, and the people outside smashed the door and left with a scolding. The next day, there were still people who came to their homes and splashed paint on their gates and walls. Huang Zhenshan said that the voice was like the face of the public who had been here before, and Zhao Chuan also said that there was a big man with a height of two meters among the people outside. All this made everyone confused, and Zheng Bei was even more melancholy. Zheng Bei really wanted to ask Liu Qiming, didn't you say that she wanted to soak me? I was mentally prepared, why did I become such a mess again? Shen Yi was gloating, always looking for an opportunity to sarcastically mock Zheng Bei.
Zheng Bei has been in a bad mood these days, feeling like he has fallen from the light clouds to the drainage ditch on the side of the road. It was New Year's Day, and Zhao Chuan said that the charity ball held by the city's high society was tonight. Zheng Bei decided to find out, even if he died, he had to die clearly.
Zheng Bei came to the cloakroom in the villa, where there were several sets of men's dresses. Zheng Bei quietly tried on clothes, and at this time Liu Qiming opened the door and walked in. "Brother Liu. Zheng Bei was stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Qiming coming in, Liu Qiming smiled: "Are you going to go to the charity ball?" In fact, you have seen her two or three times in total, we don't have to ......" Zheng Bei continued to try on clothes: "The mud bodhisattva is still three points dirty, I must ask her what she means." ”
Liu Qiming also began to fiddle with those men's clothes: "I'll go with you." "No, I'm just uncomfortable and want an explanation. "One more person also takes care of one more person, and it just so happens that I also want to see for a long time." ”
Zheng Bei and Liu Qiming quietly went out of the backyard door, and Zheng Bei rubbed out a car, which Zheng Bei had prepared during the day. The two of them walked towards the place Zhao Chuan said. Liu Qiming found a place to park the car, and all around them were luxury cars with a lot of water. Turning his head to look at the signboard "Nebula Club", he didn't see anything famous from the outside. There were a few guards at the door, and two men in suits were checking the invitations of the guests. Zheng Bei originally thought that he would go in even if he made a hole in the wall, but after seeing that the visitors were all carrying invitations, he had a new idea.
Zheng Bei closed his eyes and began to pay attention to everything around him, and after choosing a target, he quickly found the invitation letter on the man's body. It's easy for Zheng Bei to dismantle this thing, but he can't do it if he wants to return it as it is. Zheng Bei had no choice but to change the copy of the man's invitation to the ground behind him. The guests who were selected by Zheng Bei also entered the clubhouse after experiencing a little trouble.
Zheng Bei led Liu Qiming to the door, took out his invitation letter and handed it to another man in a suit. Zheng Bei felt that it was impossible for the two people at the door to know all the visitors, as long as his invitation was not handed to the man in the suit who had just checked the main owner. Things turned out as Zheng Bei expected, and the two successfully entered the clubhouse.
Zheng Bei and the two followed the guests in front of them through a wide corridor, and after passing through two wooden gates, a hall appeared in front of them. The hall is quite high, decorated with wooden materials, and several large crystal lamps are hung from the ceiling, and the crystal lamps emit a pale yellow light. The light gave the whole hall a warmth that was not dazzling.
Zheng Bei glanced at it a little and saw Wan Gu Han, because Wan Gu Han was more eye-catching, and it was difficult to see it, although she was just standing there alone. Zheng Bei walked directly towards Wan Gu Han, and it was not until Zheng Bei approached Wan Gu Han that he found him. Wan Guhan looked at Zheng Bei in surprise: "Why are you here?" Zheng Bei smiled: "I was also invited, is it strange?" Wan Guhan: "Oh, no." "Wan Guhan is dressed in smoky makeup today, but Zheng Bei found that her eyes are a little red.
"I'm sorry. Wan Guhan suddenly said this. Zheng Bei raised his eyebrows: "For what?" "For what?" Because you played yourself? Why do you? Get a few gangsters to come to the door every day to make trouble, which one is this?" "You come with me." Wan Guhan said and walked to the balcony, and Zheng Bei followed. You can see the courtyard under the moonlight, this courtyard is a garden, but now the fountains in this garden are covered with snow, and Zheng Bei can feel the slightest chill penetrating through the window.
Wan Guhan: "I don't actually have any ill will. "Isn't that Wenhe a subordinate of the tiger? He hasn't stopped for the past few days, don't say you don't know. Wan Guhan: "I let him go." Zheng Bei frowned: "What do you mean? What is malicious? Do you think we are stupid and easy to bully?" There was a trace of tiredness in Wan Guhan's tone: "I originally wanted to be friends with you, but something happened recently." "Then we are enemies now?" Zheng Bei was a little impatient, because he didn't understand what Wan Guhan was talking about.
Wan Guhan: "A few days ago, there was a personnel transfer in the Fengyang Headquarters of the Central Army, and the original commander was my uncle, and now he has returned to the imperial capital. Zheng Bei didn't say anything, he waited for Wan Guhan to continue. "The florist in Fengyang City is an old force, and the florist has always been related to the Northeast Army. Zhenbeiyue was built by Fengyun Province in order to balance the Northeast Army. As for me, my background is the reinforcements of the Imperial War Department in the early days of the Great Wall. ”
"After my uncle was transferred, the Northeast Army immediately took action, tore up all the former port transportation contracts, and gave all those businesses to the gardeners. The leaders of the province also followed suit and forcibly bought the vegetable planting project I was involved in outside the city. I've lost most of my property in just a few days, and Zhenbeiyue is already busy digging up my men. Therefore, I want to dissociate myself from you, so that it will not affect you in the future. ”
Zheng Bei was stupid when he heard this, what kind of mess is this? The reason why the door of his house was splashed with paint, and the reason why he was released by a beautiful woman was actually the personnel transfer of the Imperial Military Department? Speaking of which, this woman did all this for her own good? No, if it was really like what Wan Guhan said, then she was really thinking about her own group.
"You ......" Wan Guhan smiled: "Don't think too much, you just don't know me." By the way, who invited you?Who did you get into?" Wan Guhan looked at Zheng Bei with wide eyes and then rolled his eyes: "You actually got into this messy pocket by yourself, and my little arrangement before was in vain." Zheng Bei thought about the words of Wangu Han just now, and felt warm in his heart. The incomprehension in his heart, and the grievances caused by Shen Yi's sneering also disappeared.
