Volume I, Chapter XXIV
CHAPTER XXIV
The next morning, Ma Liangchen came to Wang's house again. This time, he still carried a few bags of things, which were gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea for Wang Yunqing and his wife. As soon as he saw Wang Yunqing, he sent the things in his hand up, "Dad, this is my filial piety to your second elder, please accept it." ”
Wang Yunqing said disappreciably: "I have these things at home, why do you have to spend so much." ”
Ma Liangchen bowed down and said: "This is what Shuzhen asked me to send to you, although the gift is light, it only shows the filial piety of the younger generation." ”
Wang Yunqing laughed sarcastically, "Ma Liangchen, if you really have filial piety, you should protect your aunt." ”
Ma Liangchen asked rhetorically: "Dad, you have wronged Liangchen!" If I didn't want to protect my aunt, I would have told Ono about my aunt's whereabouts, don't you say? ”
Wang Yunqing also asked Ma Liangchen rhetorically: "If I don't give you that painting of Zheng Banqiao today, can you let Aunt Yurong go?" ”
"Actually, if you don't give me this painting, I'll let my aunt go. I told my mother last night that I wanted this painting, and I wanted to keep it for you, because you are in a bad situation, and it would be safer for me to keep such a precious painting. If you want to see that painting in the future, you can always come to my house and see it. Ma Liangchen still had a good argument when he quibbled.
"Good! I'll put this picture with you first. Wang Yunqing took out a painting scroll from behind him, and he unfolded it on the table with a "whoosh", "Look carefully, do you want this?" ”
Ma Liangchen didn't expect Wang Yunqing to agree so happily, he looked at the painting in front of him and couldn't believe it, "Dad, did you promise to give me this painting?" You won't fool me. ”
Wang Yunqing replied happily: "You can take it, my gentleman will not be able to chase after him!" ”
When Ma Liangchen handed over this painting to Wang Yunqing by himself, he knew that it was a rare thing, and he secretly thought that sooner or later he would get this painting! At this time, Ma Liangchen saw that Wang Yunqing really wanted to give him this painting. Immediately overjoyed. He immediately waved his hands at Wang Yunqing and said, "Dad, you really don't treat me as an outsider!" Son-in-law, I'm so polite! But he immediately suppressed his smile and rolled his eyes, he thought to himself, this painting is very valuable, and it is Wang Yunqing's townhouse, can he give it to me so easily? He couldn't believe it.
"Dad, I have a question I don't know if I should ask?"
"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."
"You won't hide the authenticity of Zheng Banqiao and make a fake to fool me, a layman."
"Haha, haha!" Wang Yunqing stroked his hair and laughed, "Ma Liangchen, I know your personality very well. You will not be ignorant of my character. I have always regarded myself as a gentleman, and I will do what I say and believe in what I do. In my eyes, my sister's life is bigger than the sky, in order to save her, I would rather endure the pain of cutting my love, how can I deceive you with fake paintings. You doubt me so much, but you live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”
"Dad, I know you've always valued righteousness over wealth, okay! Then I'll laugh it off. Ma Liangchen stretched out his hand to put away the painting on the table.
"Wait!" Wang Yunqing hurriedly drank him.
Ma Liangchen asked stupidly: "What." Do you regret it again? ”
"As the saying goes: make people's money and eliminate people's disasters, you can't take this painting without a gentleman's agreement between you and me." Wang Yunqing put away the paintings on the table.
"Oh, I was just too anxious to forget about it. Excuse me! Excuse me! Ma Liangchen looked embarrassed.
Wang Yunqing did not want to waste any more time. He asked Ma Liangchen straightforwardly: "The Japanese want to arrest your Aunt Yurong, what can you do to help your aunt get out of danger?" ”
"Dad, I'll be honest with you, Ono set a date for me to capture my aunt. Failure to do so will result in severe penalties. Although I was under a lot of pressure, I did not tell the Japanese about my aunt's hiding place, nor did I tell my subordinates about it. Only God knows this, you know and I know, and my aunt is safe now. You can transfer my aunt away right under my nose, and I can help if necessary. But you have to hurry, I can't drag this case on for long! ”
"Alright then, I'll believe you this time!" Wang Yunqing asked Ma Liangchen to give him two days to prepare, and asked Ma Liangchen to immediately prepare a certificate of good citizenship for Yurong, get himself a set of Japanese officer's clothes, and he would personally send Yurong out of the city. Ma Liangchen readily agreed to these requests. Ma Liangchen said bluntly: "Dad, we are relatives and sons-in-law, and I can do what you ask, but I must take that painting today, this is a premise." ”
"Okay, then let's put the gentleman before the villain, I can give you the painting immediately, but you have to write me a receipt."
Ma Liangchen saw that Wang Yunqing wanted him to write a receipt, he scratched his scalp and hesitated. "That's not easy, is it? The problem is that I've never been in the habit of typing receipts. ”
"My painting is a sky-high treasure, not for fun! How can I trust you if you don't send a receipt? As long as you do what I say, you can take this painting away immediately! ”
How can you not eat the fat meat that reaches your mouth! Isn't it just a receipt, it's not a big deal! I'll get my hands on this valuable thing first. Thinking of this, Ma Liangchen took out a pen and wrote a receipt according to Wang Yunqing's description of the dragon flying and phoenix dance.
Ma Liangchen pushed the written receipt in front of Wang Yunqing and said, "Dad, my receipt was written according to your intentions." Now it's time for you to deliver on your promises. ”
Wang Yunqing picked up the receipt and looked at it carefully, he nodded and put the receipt into his arms, and then handed Zheng Banqiao's painting to Ma Liangchen's hand without hesitation, "Let's just make up our minds, I hope you don't break your promise!" ”
Ma Liangchen also said happily: "Okay! I will deliver what you want to the house tonight, and I will not break my word! Ma Liangchen thought for a while and then said, "Dad, you care if I have two days, and I'll give you one more day." You will have three days from tomorrow, during which I will not set up a guard outside your house, I will not follow you and your family, and I will not set up checks in various locations outside the city. If you have trouble during these three days, I can help you. But after three days, you haven't transferred my aunt away, and under the pressure of my boss, I have no choice but to lead someone to arrest my aunt, and then you don't blame my six relatives for not recognizing me! After Ma Liangchen finished speaking, he took the painting and left satisfied.
Wang Yunqing lost this beloved painting, as if his heart and liver had been removed, and after Ma Liangchen left, he sat alone for a long time before slowly getting up and coming to Mrs. Wang's room.
"Madam, I have already given that painting to Ma Liangchen." As soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes moistened.
Mrs. Wang asked eagerly: "Master, do you think that Ma Liangchen is credible?" I'm just afraid that when we get there, we will end up with a meat bun and a dog, and we will never return. ”
Wang Yunqing muttered: "This can only be the case now. It is in the sky to plan things and make things happen, may God bless Yurong. ”
Mrs. Wang's mood at this time was also heavy, "Master, I know you are awkward, but no matter what, we are doing our best, we have to tell Yurong about this quickly, so that she can be mentally prepared." ”
"You're right, time is tight and we can't delay any longer, we have to tell her right away." Wang Yunqing and his wife walked to the back garden together.
Wang Yunqing and his wife went into the secret room where Yurong was hiding. Yurong was reading a book at this time, and when she saw her brother and sister-in-law's anxious face, she knew that there was trouble outside.
Wang Yunqing told Yurong straight to the point, "Yurong, the situation is not good!" Ma Liangchen, this bastard, has already guessed that you are hiding at home. ”
Yu Rong asked in surprise: "Big brother, only the three of us know about this matter, and besides, this back garden has always been peaceful, and no one has ever seen me when I go out day and night, how did I leak the news?" ”
Wang Yunqing was extremely annoyed and said, "Hey! I hid you tightly, and a haunted rumor in the back garden exposed your whereabouts! It's all my fault for being negligent and not stopping this rumor in time. It's really self-defeating. ”
"What the hell? I live here, why didn't I see a ghost? Yurong felt inexplicable, and when Wang Yunqing told the whole story of the whole thing, she suddenly realized. Eldest brother. Our Wang family has never been haunted, but when I hid, there were rumors of haunting, and it seems that this ghost is clearly me! ”
"yes, I thought the back garden was haunted or not. It's all a good thing that you can't ask for, and no one dares to go in, which is a good cover for you. The result is a desire to cover up. I've read the art of war for half my life, and I'm incorrigibly stupid! Wang Yunqing patted his head with deep guilt.
Yu Rong did not reproach Wang Yunqing, but comforted him: "Big brother, I believe in God, all this is God's arrangement, it's not your fault." ”
Mrs. Wang interjected at this time: "Master, it's useless for you to blame yourself now, let's quickly find a way to transfer Yurong to a safe place!" ”
Wang Yunqing pressed his index finger to his temple and said: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't come up with a foolproof plan after racking my brains, it's really difficult to escape from under the eyelids of the spies!" ”
Wang Yunqing said again: "Yurong, I have already bought Ma Liangchen, I asked him to send a set of Japanese military uniforms and a certificate of good citizenship tonight, I want to disguise myself as a Japanese officer, you take the certificate of good citizenship, and then I will personally drive you out of the city." It's a risky option, but it's worth trying. Besides, Ma Liangchen promised to help us if necessary. ”
Yu Rong looked at Wang Yunqing with questioning eyes, she thought Ma Liangchen was unreliable. "Big brother, you know better than me who Ma Liangchen is, you can't believe his words! Once he changes his hexagram, it will be fine if I am arrested, but if you and my sister-in-law are implicated, then our Wang family will be wiped out! ”
Wang Yunqing took out a pistol from his pocket and said, "Yurong, I won't trust Ma Liangchen, I just want to use him." I'm ready for the worst, if Ma Liangchen speaks, we can get out of the city safely, if he changes his mind, I'll drive through the level, even if I fight for my life, I will save you! There is no other way, and now I have to do my best to obey the destiny of God! ”
Yurong resolutely disagreed, "Big brother, I said that God is the master of my fate, and it has nothing to do with you, and I can't implicate you!" ”
Wang Yunqing was a little unhappy, he asked Yurong; "I don't count, so what do you have planned?"
"Big brother, don't worry. I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible? Yu Rong took out a note from her pocket and said, "Don't think that my Xuanxia is just a fierce Zhang Fei who can fight, in fact, his mind is very thoughtful." Before I came, he wrote me an address in case of emergency. In a moment, I will write a confidential letter, and I ask you to give it directly to a person who will help me out of danger after reading the letter, according to the address on the note. ”
Wang Yunqing had a surprised expression on his face, and he asked, "Yurong, time is urgent, what should I do if that person can't help you?" ”
"That person is Xuanxia's distant cousin, and the guard who sent me to Peking sent him a letter from Xuanxia by the way, and Xuanxia asked him to protect me if necessary. This person has great powers, he knows that I am in Beiping, and he also knows that I live here, he must have a way to send me out of Beiping City. Big brother, I have caused you a lot of trouble, I don't want to involve you anymore, and you and my sister-in-law will not worry about my affairs in the future. ”
Wang Yunqing asked uneasily: "Yurong, is that person reliable?" ”
Yu Rong put her mouth to her brother's ear and whispered a few words, Wang Yunqing's expression was first startled, and then suddenly realized.
He nodded vigorously and said, "Now I'm relieved!" Yurong, just do as you say. But you have to get out of here tomorrow night, or you won't be able to go! ”
"Big brother, don't worry. My cousin called Xuanxia will arrange for someone to pick me up tomorrow night. ”
"Yurong, your sister-in-law's figure and appearance are similar to yours, tomorrow night I will ask her to disguise herself as you, and I will take her through the front door to attract the attention of the spies, so as to cover you slipping out of the back door. At noon on the second day after we left the city, we met at the temple at the foot of Phoenix Ridge Mountain, and we didn't see each other. ”
"Okay, just do what the eldest brother says, that's the only way to do it now!"
Wang Yunqing and Yurong reached an agreement, (to be continued......)
