Chapter Ninety-Eight: Arming

Jin Li frowned at the crescent moon, her chin was clenched against her throat, and she snorted heavily: "Don't give me a sloppy eye, what kind of identity are you, and you can also answer the call of the ninth master?" I want to ask him, did the Qinggang do any business of kidnapping tickets there today, do you know this? ”

The corners of the man's lips pursed slightly, he saw a lot of grumpy little girls, nothing more than to make trouble with his lover, but he had never seen anyone who called to ask directly about the kidnapping business, and he was slightly curious, so he smiled lightly: "No, I really can't answer Ah Jiu's call, but I can do the business of kidnapping, why do you have good goods in your hands?" ”

"Phew!" Jin Li didn't hear this sentence coldly, she really thought that he knew about the kidnapping, thinking that Wanchun might be in their hands, she didn't care about her identity and smacked him through the microphone, and her mouth was close to the bronze microphone and scolded, "It's because people like you exist, that's why so many good daughters have fallen into the devil's cave and suffered!" I tell you the truth, the person you kidnapped today is my Lady Cousin of the Governor's Office, and if she is missing a hair, I will ask you people! ”

Jin Li is young, but she is more powerful, and this threatening word was very appreciated by Yu, so he said to her beside him: "You ask him, what do you want, why do you want to take a child under the knife?" Let him get them back quickly, and we may be able to spare them a way out. ”

Jin Li snorted in her throat, and said into the microphone again: "Did you hear that?" My aunt has already spoken, if you release my sister back now, or I can spare your life, or else - it will be your ninth master who will intercede. I won't spare it. ”

She only speculated on her own and crackled out such a string of words. It's like a cannon battle in the New Year, and the sound is loud. After all, nothing can be scared. The person on the other end of the phone was naturally not afraid, and knew that there was some misunderstanding, so he smiled warmly and said: "I think what we are talking about is probably not the same thing, I am sorry for Sister Ling's disappearance." But to be honest, I don't actually know where she is, or you can ask someone, or you can tell me what the phone number is, and I'll ask him to call you back when Ah Jiu comes back. ”

He took a bite of Ah Jiu. Jin Li didn't care when she was in a hurry to find Wanchun at first, but this time she heard that something was wrong. Du Jiu's identity is the most important thing in the Qing Gang, and few people dare to call him so affectionately, if you want to say that there is, it is just the head of the three factions and his gang of sworn brothers. Listening to this person's tone, it doesn't look like Du Jiu's father-in-law, but like his brother-in-law.

Jin Li hesitated and hugged the microphone and asked him softly, "Which one are you?" ”

The man sneered, and said with a thick and humorous voice: "The surname of the contemptible person, the double word Xiaoyun." Or Miss, you can call me Xiang Er. ”

"Xiang Xiaoyun?" Jin Li shouted loudly, hurriedly covered her mouth, and glanced at the microphone blankly, which is really rare. Xiang Xiaoyun, who has always heard of his name but not his person in the Green Gang, actually appeared in Shanghai Grand Paradise today, and he was still sneering. I didn't mind her rash calling. Jin Li opened her mouth and said after a long time before she remembered. "I've admired the name for a long time."

Xiang Xiaoyun waved his hand into the microphone: "How dare you, Xiang is just a rat." I can't afford this sentence from Miss. ”

Jin Li blushed, she was most afraid of being treated politely when she was angry, not to mention that this time she didn't ask clearly, so she scolded Xiang Xiaoyun as a nameless junior, and her face was inevitably a little difficult to get off the stage. However, Xiang Xiaoyun was used to being casual, and he didn't care much about these faux pas, but asked her first: "Miss, please tell me the number of the Zun Mansion, today is Miss Li Yujun's mourning day, Ah Jiu will come up after greeting the guests, and I must tell him at that time, and ask him to call back to the mansion." ”

"Oh, okay, okay." Jin Li's mouth responded unconsciously, remembering that although Du Jiu was in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Qing Gang, Xiang Er's identity was above him after all, even if he did not show up for many days, the big and small things of the Qing Gang would still be heard of, so he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Second Master, have you ever heard that anyone did a kidnapping business today?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyun said: "I just came back from other places, I really don't know much about the affairs in Shanghai, don't worry, the gang has to be busy with Miss Li Yujun's first seven days in the past two days, and I don't have time to distract myself from other things, so Sister Ling thinks that it should be fine." ”

"That's for the best."

Jin Li said, hearing a low voice on the other end, as if someone had entered the door. She held the microphone and was about to listen carefully, when she snapped, apparently someone hung up the microphone.

Jin Li held the microphone and hesitated, and when she wanted to call back, she felt that it was not interesting to call back, and people didn't know that they couldn't force their heads to say they knew. She stood there stupidly, and Yu Shi looked at her and didn't know what was going on, so he stared at her and asked, "How is it, Jin Li, what did they say?" ”

Jin Li shook her head regretfully, put down the microphone abruptly, sat down next to Yu and said, "Uncle, there is still no definite news, the ninth master is not here, and I can't ask anyone else to ask anything." ”

"How is this good, how is this good? My girl, my hard-working girl......" Yu Shi was anxious again, holding Jin Li's hand and shaking uncontrollably, her little daughter has been favored by her since she was a child, and it is already the most important part of her life, almost embedded in the bone marrow. She lost a child, and Wan Chun always thought that it was God's compensation for her, and returned the lost child. If she lost this one again, she couldn't imagine how she would live her life in the future.

Jin Li made her shake her mind, she has been friends with Wanchun since she was a child, and the two are inseparable in age, and they are like sisters. Yu Shi was only anxious, and said a few words as if Wanchun had been killed, Jin Li touched the scene, and did not feel sadness from it, and when she landed, big tears fell to the ground.

The sobs of the two women made Bo Ol and Li Lanfeng cry upset, Li Lanfeng took the cigarette in his hand, and rummaged through all the pockets on his body to find a lamp. But he couldn't touch a trace of sparks after touching around, so he had to fold the cigarette roll in his hand and say to Cuizhi: "Call Ru Lin and ask him to go back to the house quickly." ”

Cuizhi nodded and responded repeatedly, and hurriedly dialed the phone to the town guard embassy office, and said it in a few words. It happened that Tan Rulin had just returned to the yamen after a turn from outside, and he received this call before his buttocks were hot, so he hurriedly wrapped his coat around his body, and rushed back to the Fengqiao Mansion in the car.

As soon as the two of them met, Tan Rulin hurriedly said, "Lord Taishan, what's wrong with the fourth sister?" I couldn't tell me on the phone, how did I hear that the fourth sister was missing? ”

Li Lanfeng nodded heavily, pointed his finger to the sofa chair next to him, and said to him, "You sit, let's talk carefully." ”

Tan Rulin turned to the side and sat down, listening to Li Lanfeng continue: "I went out with your eldest brother and cousin Jinli during the day, but there was no one on the street. I'm in Shanghai now, and the soldiers I brought with me are all in Jiujing, and the distant water can't save the near fire, so I want to find you back, take out some of the soldiers in your hand, and arrange for them to be deployed at various city gates. I'm not afraid that your fourth sister will be kidnapped, but I'm afraid that she will be kidnapped and left Shanghai. As long as there are people at the gates of the city who are watching, so that they do not dare to act rashly, they will always be able to find people. ”

Tan Rulin responded, only to realize that the matter was so serious. Wanchun, as the fourth lady of the Li family and Zhongqing's sister-in-law, lost his territory, and he had to take responsibility to some extent, so he immediately made a guarantee: "Lord Taishan can rest assured, the son-in-law will do it, and the fourth sister will be safe and sound." ”

"That's good." Li Lanfeng let out a long breath, straightened the cigarette roll that was rolled up into a ball a little bit, and went to his body to get the lamp as usual.

Bo was accustomed to seeing his father's calm and composed, and it was rare to see him flustered like this, but he was calm, and this son also became apprehensive.

Since Tan Rulin agreed to Li Lanfeng, he stopped delaying in the house, and hurriedly went out to call someone to inform him, and ordered the town guard embassy and the garrison headquarters to each transfer two infantry regiments, about five or six hundred troops, to deploy defenses in the east, west, south, and north directions of Shanghai. And in order to protect Wanchun's reputation, he did not say that it was the fourth lady of the Li family, but only said that a large family in a certain place had lost a relative or friend, and those who knew and provided information could receive a reward.

Such a rigorous deployment still yields nothing. Tan Rulin and Jin Li were in the secret, but they never expected that it would be Du Jiu himself who kidnapped Wanchun, so the posting of the notice was useless except for providing talking points in the streets and alleys of Shanghai.

Zhong Qing was also unable to bring back any reliable information, although she was suspicious of both the Qing Gang and the White Building, but after all, there was no tangible evidence. Moreover, Jin Li said that there was no news from Du Jiu, so she was a little suspicious that it was Bai Lou, and she still didn't dare to take the Qing Gang lightly, because she couldn't say it in front of her mother, so she had to tell Tan Rulin secretly in private, so that he could communicate with the people of Hongmen and pay more attention to the movements of Bai Lou and the Qing Gang.

In this way, the minds of the Fengqiao Mansion are all tied to the defense of the city gate.

Chen Fangfei, as a guest, heard the words between the servants, and knew that the young lady who comforted her yesterday was gone, and she couldn't believe it in her heart, thinking that such a good person, how could she say that she would disappear if she didn't see it? She went to ask the second elder of the Tan family, and it happened that the second elder of the Tan family had just heard about it.

Tan Rulin's mother, Tan Wu, because of Chen Fangfei's marriage, had already made a good show in front of the Yu family and others yesterday, and she didn't know how to talk to the Yu family today, when she encountered such unfortunate news, she was busy letting Fang Fei carry herself downstairs in order to express her sympathy, and before she finished walking the stairs, she asked in a trembling voice: "Mother-in-law, what do you say?" Why is that young lady of yours gone? (To be continued.) )
