"Sir, sir." There was a knock on the kitchen door, and the man outside seemed to be in a hurry.
Lin Keji called "come in", and a young man in a tweed suit walked in, he glanced at Liao Wanyu, and then at Lin Keji, and saw that Lin Keji did not mean to let her avoid it, so he said generously.
"The workers in the British concession protested, and there were not enough people on the other side of the house, so Dai Gang called and begged to come to the door, wanting us to help suppress it."
Liao Wanyu listened quietly, and turned her eyes to look out of the window, but she still couldn't help but wonder in her heart, how could she find a university gentleman to help suppress the strike. Are you going to ask him to give a lecture?
Of course, Lin Keji knew why there were tens of thousands of people gathering in the British Concession, after all, a few days ago, an Englishman had a dispute with the coachman, and the British Concession arrested the house without asking any questions, and the coachman was killed.
Lin Keji wiped his hand twice on the white apron and put the knife back on the cutting board, "What does Miss Liao think?" ”
Liao Wanyu retracted her gaze to look out the window and looked at him sideways, "I don't understand, it's not good to evaluate." ”
Lin Keji shrugged, "It's nothing more than our own people being bullied, but it's not difficult to understand." ”
Liao Wanyu nodded lightly twice, "My aunt has always told me to be kind, but I later found out that blindly being amicable is just a loss for myself." ”
Lin Keji also agreed with her, "It is enough to be kind to people who are kind." He carefully washed his hands by the pool with fragrant pancreas, then untied the apron tie, and said to Liao Wanyu apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't invite you to dinner today." ”
Liao Wanyu didn't care about this matter at all, she just let him do it if he had something, and he could go home. But Lin Keji said that he was not at ease, and still arranged for someone to send her home.
If you want to say that in life, some things may be destined in the dark, when Liao Wanyu was standing at the door of her house, facing such a scene, if she hadn't come to inform Mr. Xiao Gu of Lin Keji's parade earlier, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
The green door didn't look bright anymore because of the age, and now it was crooked in the hallway, as if telling how rough it had just been.
She stood in the doorway, and everywhere she looked, everything was a mess, even the teapot was turned upside down, as if there was something hidden in it.
Mr. Xiao Gu bypassed Liao Wanyu and inspected the entire house, "Miss Liao, do you want to check the valuables?" ”
Liao Wanyu was reminded by him, as if she had just come back to her senses, she ran into her bedroom, and found a small cloth bag in the wooden cabinet with the door open, where was the only thing You Xiaomei left, and the money that Zhen Gu lent her at the beginning.
"I didn't lose anything."
Mr. Xiao Gu poked his head out from behind the open cabinet door, and because of the dust drifting in the room, he covered his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief, "Who have you offended?" ”
Liao Wanyu wanted to shake her head at first, but her head moved slightly and froze again. Does Bai Xiuzhen count? Does it count if you reject Chen Bingyi?
After thinking about it like this, she denied it, it was really the two of them, and she wouldn't use such a fierce and dirty way.
"You can't live in this house, is there still a place to go?" Mr. Xiao Gu seems to have a bad trachea, and he is coughing lightly on and off.
Liao Wanyu shook her head, and slowly looked around the messy room that was rummaged through, "I have to wait for my brother to come back, and I'm making plans when the time comes." No, you can go to the hotel first. ”
Mr. Xiao Gu didn't agree with her idea, he pointed to the ground with a free hand, "Do you know what they're looking for?" If I were you, I would go to the school to pick up your brother from school now, and then go to Mr. Lin's house to avoid it, and wait until the reason is found out, so that I can feel at ease. ”
"Mr. Lin?" Liao Wanyu waved her hand, "Mr. Lin still has to teach every day, I can't let such trouble disturb him." ”
Only then did Mr. Xiao Gu know that Liao Wanyu didn't know what Lin Keji did, and he was really a gentleman who taught English at Luzhou University, but since Lin Keji didn't say it, he was a small one, so naturally he couldn't say it.
"Miss Jiashu must welcome you here, you are a friend of Miss, Mr. Lin will never sit idly by. He has a lot of friends, and there is always someone who can help you with this. Or...... Miss Liao has a better and safer option? ”
Mr. Xiao Gu added an accent to the word "safer", although he was young, he had been with Lin Keji for seven or eight years, and he could be regarded as reading countless people, and he could see that she did not have any better choice.

Xie Yuru felt dizzy these days, crying in front of Jiang Zhihe every night that he was overtired, and he either accompanied his fiancée to buy things or accompany his fiancée to buy things all day long, which was so serious that he needed to eat a few ginseng to nourish him.
Jiang Zhihe knew that he was pretending, and ignored him, "Nonsense, how many things can she buy." People's dowries are all purchased in Europe, and if our family does not have something from the emperor to support the façade, we will have to go to the West and the East. Now I ask you to accompany her to buy things, that is to cultivate feelings in advance. You silly boy. ”
Xie Yuru thought that the girl's form and style were extremely old-fashioned, and she pretended to go to Europe to purchase it when she got married, and she always felt a little bored in her heart, "I don't have any common language with her." ”
Jiang Zhihe pretended to take a bite at him, "You don't understand what she said, or what's wrong?" Running a family is the right thing to do. Don't think that if you have read a book for a few days, it is called mental progress, although she has not gone to any school, but I can see that people are very good. ”
Xie Yuru secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, anyway, it's not up to him to marry anyone, fortunately, this person looks good, and he seems to have a gentle personality at present, he should be a peaceful person, and when he becomes a relative, he will go to Baoding, the emperor is far away, but no one can control him.
Xie Yuru is still very good at messing around, he did accompany Zheng Peilan to visit Luzhou at first, but then he simply pretended that a friend had something to do and simply didn't see her.
There is no custom in Luzhou that newlyweds cannot meet each other before they get married, but Xie Yuru feels that it has caused him a lot of trouble. I finally escaped this day, and immediately called a few friends to find a place to have a good time.
Zhang Yanhan and Xie Yuru have known each other since they were dolls, and the two of them have not been stuck together except for the years when he went to the Water Master School, that is, they haven't seen each other in the past few days, as soon as he saw Xie Yuru, the first thing he did was to laugh at him, laughing at him for being the same as himself, and there was also an ignorant woman with small feet at home.
But he laughed and ridiculed, there was a good place for recreation, but he didn't forget Xie Yuru. He took Xie Yuru and a few friends to Lujiang Road, that is, Wanchunli, and said that he had opened a new brothel, which was different from usual and could perform some novel things.
As soon as he heard about the novelty, Xie Yuru and his friends suddenly came to their senses, but he promised his mother that he couldn't make anything too big before getting married, so the Zheng family would lose face, so he still had some consideration, and he didn't respond so enthusiastically for a while.
As soon as Zhang Yanhan and the others saw his expression, they knew that he was taking care of him, so a few people encouraged him word by word, and soon, he forgot the newlywed wife who was going to enter the door in a few days.
Lujiang Road is part of the "Manchunli", and most of the people on this road are Japanese nationals, who enjoy the benefits of extraterritoriality because they are protected by the Japanese consulate, so they mostly do things like selling dog meat on sheep's heads. The "So-and-so Japanese Foreign Company" or "Great Japanese Resident So-and-so Apartment" hanging on the street are all places where brothels, tobacco houses, and casinos are secretly driven.
It's nothing to do business, but what's more, they don't register, they don't pay taxes, they blatantly smuggle cigarettes, or do some other dirty things, and the patrol house can't interfere at all.
As soon as the intervention immediately becomes a major diplomatic incident, the Japanese consul will attract warships, and the matter will always end up anyway. After a long time, no one cares about it at all.
Xie Yuru doesn't like to come here for recreation on weekdays, mainly because he feels that the money he spends is not beneficial to the local area at all, and even those Japanese prostitutes don't even pay the stamp duty of Lehu, and all the cash money collected is swallowed by himself.
What's more, the Japanese ronin who have been in Lujiang Road for many years often rob and kidnap the rich and noble, so it is really risky to come to Lujiang Road for recreation.
However, people are always strange, and the more they feel that the risk is greater, the more exciting it is. Therefore, there is still an endless stream of people coming and going to Lujiang Road every day.
Xie Yuru was ridiculed by his friends and aroused his rebellious mentality, and finally felt that he was going to become a married man anyway, and it was not too much to come up with something new.
Facts have proved that Xie Yuru is still too naïve, what he thinks is the novelty of his friends, and the novelty he said is not the same thing at all. Where is this novelty, it is simply perverted.
Halfway through his drinking, he was already in no interest, let alone interested, looking at the woman who was tied up, he didn't even have the appetite to drink. If he is not mistaken, it is not a day prostitute at all, but a girl from a good family in Luzhou who was drugged and didn't know where she was kidnapped.
The backyard of this brothel has been converted into a dry landscape, and small white pebbles are made to flow in different directions, mimicking the flow of water, and several large stones are staggered in the middle, pretending to be mountains.
Xie Yuru has always felt that Little Japan is very interesting, his country is not big, and there are not many landscapes, so he can only pretend to be self-absorbed in the backyard.
He walked back and forth in front of the dry landscape, and suddenly heard a suppressed moan, both of them spoke Japanese, Xie Yuru didn't understand, and he was not interested in doing the dirty thing of listening to the room, and was about to leave, the voice suddenly stopped, and by the sound of the wooden door being opened, a short Japanese man, he didn't care, and he was carrying a gun in his hand.
The man probably thought that Xie Yuru was eavesdropping on him, and walked straight at Xie Tangru with a gun.
