He Yao returned home tired, and the women of the family gathered around and chattered non-stop, He Yao remembered He Gui's advice, only saying that He Gui's hair was gray and he had lost some weight, but he had not been tortured, so there were no injuries on his body.

After hearing this, the two concubines began to wipe their tears again, He Yao looked at her mother, she just looked at the two people coldly, and beckoned He Yao into the house.

"Mother, why didn't you see my brother?" He Yao asked, "At this time, he still doesn't stay at home honestly?" ”

"Will he be able to stay?" Mrs. He said contemptuously, "Your father knows that he has lost his eyes this time, let him regret it." I am so pampered when I am young, I am afraid of being tired of studying, and I am afraid of freezing when I do the goods, so in the end, what I can't do, and what I eat is not enough. ”

"Mother, I can't point to him right now, don't talk about him," He Yao said.

"He's very capable," said Mrs. He, "do you know why he can't stay?" ”

"His fox friends are playing with him again, right?"

"It's just eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling," said Mrs. He, "and now he has been given a lot of cigarettes." ”

"What?" He Yao asked in shock, "You said he smoked a lot, when did he start?" ”

"I don't know," said Mrs. He, "I see that he has lost a lot of money recently, and he is also weak, so I think it is a little strange." I asked you if Erniang was uncomfortable, and if you wanted to find a doctor or something. You Erniang couldn't say why, so I found someone to follow him, who knew that he went to the smoke house. ”

He Yao closed his eyes in pain, now in order to bribe those Russians, he has already started selling shops, and if there is another opium smoker at home, the gold and silver mountains are not enough to toss so much.

"Mother", He Yao grabbed Mrs. He's hand and said, "You must take care of these valuable things at home." Erniang can toss as much as they want in their house, but don't let them sell the valuable things in the house. I've heard that it's hard to quit when you get into a cigarette, and you can do anything to smoke it. ”

"I understand", Mrs. He said, "Don't worry, I will keep everything, you and they don't know where they are." It's you, you've been running around outside for a while, so you have to be careful. ”

He Yao nodded, and tiredly rested her head on Mrs. He's lap. He Gui is domineering in business on weekdays, but now that something has happened, it is good if people don't fall into the ground, and there are very few people who are willing to help. As soon as He Yao thought that he would open his eyes tomorrow, he would have to grovel and beg those Russians again, and his head couldn't stop hurting. Half a month ago, she was still the eldest lady who didn't have to worry about anything, but now she has become the eldest lady who has to worry about everything, He Yao feels that she has grown several years old, her muscles, bones, flesh, heart, liver, spleen and lungs are all maddening, and she racks her brains every day to deal with people, and she doesn't know when she will be the head.

He Yao fell asleep in endless worry, and at the same time, He Gui saw Batkin again. He sat on the sofa, smoking a pipe, casually looked at He Gui, who was already full of gray hair, and asked, "Boss He, have you thought about it?" ”

He Gui nodded, "I've thought about it." ”

"Tell me, then, what's going on?" Batkin asked.

"I only had normal business dealings with Yamada, and I didn't collude with Japanese spies," He Gui said, "and someone tried to frame me, so many things happened, and I didn't do anything." ”

Batkin raised his eyebrows, "Of course I believe Boss He, so if we find out that Yao Shunchang framed you, I believe you won't have any objections, right?" ”

"The police station said that he did it, then it must have been investigated and the evidence is conclusive, how can I have any objections?" He Gui said calmly.

"Okay, I'm relieved if you say that," Batkin smiled and spat out his cigarette, "you can go out in a few days." ”

He Gui thanked him and was taken back to his cell. Batkin smoked a cigarette leisurely, in the past half a month, Yao Shunchang's family has also sent him a lot of money, I am afraid that now the entire family has been completely wiped out, in this case, there is no need to waste time, it is time to send him on the road.

Early the next morning, He Yao began to sell the shop, but when others saw that her family was losing power, they took advantage of the fire to rob and lower the price. Although He Yao also has an old guy to help him, but now after all, they are in a hurry to use the money, and it is inevitable to lose money. He Yao thought that she was young and a woman, and those people would inevitably be more excessive. It's better to just let the old guy talk about it, and say that the price can be higher. So she wrote a list and asked the old man to sell it in order, and she went to the railway bureau first.

Those Russians were happy to see her, who would be unhappy to send money? He Yao took the translator and said all the good things, and those people finally agreed to talk to Batkin again, and she came out of the railway bureau with great gratitude. The sun was dazzling outside, and she realized that it was noon.

He Yao asked the interpreter to go back first, and he called a carriage and went to China Street. Along the way, she kept hesitating whether to meet Lin Hongwen and ask him face to face. But in fact, she knew very well in her heart that what He Gui said was true, and Lin Hongwen would not give her any answer.

When He Yao pushed the door in, Lin Hongwen had just finished lunch and was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Xu Qingzhi's coffee had just been brewed, the aroma was overflowing, and it was pouring out.

He Yao looked around, sat down by himself, took off his leather gloves and threw them on the table, and looked at Lin Hongwen with his chin raised.

Lin Hongwen put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked in front of her, "Here?" ”

"Here," He Yao said, "you should know why I'm here." ”

"How would I know?" Lin Hongwen said unhurriedly.

"I just want to hear you tell me the truth, did you do these things?" He Yao asked.

Lin Hongwen asked her puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

He Yao looked at his flawless expression and suddenly felt terrible. "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my father and Uncle Yao were inexplicably arrested, and the police said that Uncle Yao funded the 'Heaven and the Ocean', and my father colluded with Japanese spies. Yesterday I went to see my dad, and you did everything he did with me, and I wanted to hear what you had to say. ”

Lin Hongwen looked at her with a smile, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

He Yao stood up, "It's been half a month, even if I want to overturn the case for them, it's impossible to find any evidence, I just want to hear you tell the truth." ”

"I don't understand why you are pulling this matter on me", Lin Hongwen said innocently, "I just had a meal with your father and Yao Shunchang, and they wanted to dig me up, but I didn't agree, that's it." ”

He Yao smiled self-deprecatingly, tilted his head to look at Lin Hongwen's left cheek, "It seems that you have deceived a lot of people, and this time it is not light, and it has not been good yet." ”

Lin Hongwen just wanted to turn his face to the left so that the bruises would not be exposed, He Yao slapped him on the right cheek again, "If you come with a knife and a gun and knock my father down in the business field, I can only say that his skills are not as good as others." But you used me and used those shady means to put them to death, and now you don't even dare to admit it, are you also a master? ”

Lin Hongwen wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at He Yao and said calmly, "Speaking of yin damage, who can overshadow your father, even you Uncle Yao, I'm afraid you have to bow down, let alone us little characters." Soon after we opened, your Uncle Yao bought off the tailor in our shop and asked him to steal the patterns from us. Later, your father came to Fu's shop to do business, and his methods were even more yin. Threaten foreigners to sell them the same cloth that is only sold to us, and sow discord between us. By the way, a liar came from Shanghai last year, and he didn't succeed, so he let the liar deceive us. I don't think he told you any of these things, right? ”

He Yao's hand squeezed the handbag hard, and the green tendons were exposed. A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Hongwen's mouth that was still bleeding, and he approached He Yao and said, "Why do you think your father is a fair and upright person?" Fair and honest people will mix moldy rice with good rice and sell it? He even dares to do things with food, and no one can compare to him in terms of yin damage. ”

He Yao glared at him angrily, Lin Hongwen turned his back to her and said, "I only slap you today when something happened to your family, you are too anxious, if you have business to take care of us, just come here." But if you still want to do something wronged by me, don't come again. Shen Lie, send Miss He out. ”

"Lin Hongwen, you will have retribution sooner or later", He Yao said viciously.

Shen Lie walked over and dragged her arm out, and He Yao turned his head to stare at Lin Hongwen while struggling. Shen Lie dragged her outside, and as soon as he left the sight of the United Commercial Bank, he let go of his hand, and He Yao no longer struggled like crazy, and whispered, "I went to see my father yesterday, and he told me that you are here, and it is inconvenient to talk now, so you can come over in the evening." ”

Shen Lie didn't say a word, nodded and went back. In the house, Lin Hongwen was still covering his right cheek, and Xu Qingzhi went out from the back door to wrap a ball of snow in a cloth and came back, asking him to take it and cover his face. Lin Hongwen took it and put it on his face without saying a word, Xu Qingzhi looked at him with a complicated expression, "Her family is already like that, she can say whatever she wants." ”

"I didn't want to worry about anything with her, she had to do it", Lin Hongwen said, "I was at the Fu family store in the morning, and I heard that their family had started to sell shops, and I guess she went crazy because of this." ”

"I think they have run out of money," Xu Qingzhi said, "otherwise they wouldn't have sold these things." ”

"I didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, she should be content", Lin Hongwen said, "How many stumbling blocks He Gui has made to us openly and secretly in the past few years, I only picked a few things and said, she couldn't stand it, she said it all, I don't know what it would look like." 166 Reading Network
