Chapter 34 Desperate Approach
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Qi Jiren's forces were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if it weren't for the fact that the revolutionary army's funds were really tight, he would not have gone to Pingjin and Baoding to raise funds.
It is precisely because he is not in his own territory of influence that he is more careful in doing things, and he has done a lot of protection when he leaves the house, and it is precisely because of his caution that he has escaped Shen Wanzong's four assassinations in succession.
But to say that Qi Jiren is cautious, it is impossible to be seamless, after all, people are alive, and some uncontrollable things may occur all the time, but there are too many people around him, and there are already six or seven substitute ghosts killed by Shen Wanzong alone, so for Xie Yuru, who wants to make a splash by getting rid of Qi Jiren, things are far from being so simple.
Xie Yuru was slumped on the sofa, his white shirt tucked into the waistband of his trousers, and his slender legs were wrapped under the gray-blue military pants, but it was a pity that his posture was not very elegant, otherwise it would make people want to take a few more looks.
The black medium-cut leather boots were shiny, his feet swayed, and the leather shoes hit the ground very rhythmically.
The most comfortable place for a person should be at home, if Qi Jiren does ten percent of the protection every time he travels, it is impossible for him to follow people at home, right?
How can I enter Qi Jiren's house? This seems to be another piece of the puzzle.
Xie Yuru was lying like this, looking as if he was asleep, even when the sky outside was getting darker, he was unconscious.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes in the room reddened by the setting sun, and then sat up, with a barely visible smile on his eyebrows, "It's done." He spoke softly, just to himself.
He just figured it out, but when it came to the specific operation, there were still many unstable factors, and what was more important at the moment was that it was impossible for him to complete this thing independently.
He is a newcomer who has just arrived in Baoding, and his relationship network is not smooth, if he relies on Wang Xizhen's help, it will not be difficult to do, but he doesn't want to drag his uncle who watched him grow up in such a risky thing.
After thinking about it, he felt that he might as well go directly to Ma Fuhua.
Now that the decision has been made, Xie Yuru is also ready to do both, if it is successful, he will have many benefits, and if he fails, according to his plan, he will not have to come back.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuru laughed self-deprecatingly, anyway, he is also a "dead" person, it is a big deal to do things well, anyway, he must not eat on a third-class staff officer and wait for death.
When he arrived at Mafu, it was just after dinner, and Ma Fuhua was lying on the fourth aunt's lap, comfortably plucked out by the fourth aunt.
This fourth aunt is a native of Chengdu, and she has a "little comfortable" skill, and she always makes Ma Fuhua fluttering, and she has to take her to serve her close wherever she goes.
Xie Yuru lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the tips of the military boots, but he didn't need to look to know that Ma Fuhua was closed at the moment, and the eighteen or nineteen-year-old aunt and grandmother did have a pair of big eyes, looking at him back and forth, but fortunately, she was skilled, and it did not affect the work under her hands.
"What's the matter at such a late hour?"
It was this little aunt and grandmother who asked the question, although Xie Yuru was older than her, but she was a little shorter in terms of seniority, so she replied with rules and regulations, and she should really reply to Ma Fuhua.
"Back to the commander and his wife, the student has figured out something, but he doesn't know if he thinks it is right, and the teacher will teach him."
Ma Fuhua was so comfortable that he didn't even want to open his eyes, and occasionally snorted softly once or twice, "Say it." He felt that Xie Yurulai was out of place, but because of Wang Xizhen's face, he could barely listen patiently.
"The students heard that the revolutionary army was in short supply, so they ......"
When he heard the words "revolutionary army", Ma Fuhua opened his eyes, and Xie Yuru felt his gaze, so he looked at him generously.
"The students felt that this was an opportunity."
As soon as Ma Fuhua raised his hand, the young aunt immediately stopped, and helped him up and sat down, and walked out very consciously and closed the door outside.
"Come here." Ma Fuhua squinted his eyes slightly, with a little inquiry in his eyes, he didn't know how Xie Yuru knew about Qi Jiren, and suddenly he had a lot of distrust towards him.
Xie Yuru took a step forward, this step was not big or small, it was just half the distance he had before. Ma Fuhua glanced at him and said again, "Come here", this time Xie Yuru left again, and he was already standing at the small coffee table.
Seeing him approaching, Ma Fuhua seemed to be relaxed and sat on the sofa, stretched out his arm, and put it on a gold velvet cushion next to him, but in fact, under the cushion was a handful of flowers, and Xie Yuru walked in, also to kill with one blow.
Xie Yuru stood so close, which brought a sense of oppression to the author's Ma Fuhua, but now that he needed Xie Yuru to stand at such a distance, he didn't care.
"Tell me what you know."
This sentence has a deep meaning, and Ma Fuhua doesn't want to know what he thinks for the time being, but just wants to know how he knows.
Xie Yuru couldn't trap the little adjutant, so he learned the events of that day when he came to report, but he was ambiguous about the time he stood at the door, and Ma Fuhua couldn't judge how much he listened to at that time, and sometimes he didn't inquire about anything from somewhere else.
Ma Fuhua didn't say anything after listening to his words, but just tilted his body, put his feet on the coffee table, and shook under Xie Yuru's eyelids.
He didn't speak, Xie Yuru didn't speak, the two of them stared at each other for a while, and Ma Fuhua plucked his ears with his little finger, "You're here to meet me?" ”
Seeing that he continued to listen to the meaning, Xie Yuru was of course willing to say that he had told seven or eight percent of his thoughts, and the remaining two or three percent were some parts that had to be him, and he didn't say anything for the time being.
After listening to Xie Yuru's words, Ma Fuhua's expression did not change at all, as if he was not the one who scolded Shen Wanzong to the point of squirting blood a few days ago, and it was not him who was in a hurry to complete Yuan Gong's task.
"You are a third-class staff officer, do you know how to deal with overstepping?"
Xie Yuru smiled slightly, and looked at Ma Fuhua sincerely with a pair of eyes, "If the commander wants to punish the student for the crime of overstepping the level and reporting, the student is not wronged." However, the students felt that they could deal with me at any time, and they were not in a hurry. ”
Ma Fuhua snorted, "Don't go with my students, you are a sailor school, don't go to my Beiyang." ”
Xie Yuru responded with "yes, yes", and heard Ma Fuhua scolding his mother, "You sit down for me, see that Lao Tzu's neck is sour." ”
Xie Yuru knew that this matter was basically done.
Ma Fuhua asked for some more details, and then he was silent for a long time, "My people, you can't use any of them, this matter is all up to your ability." ”
Xie Yuru originally wanted to borrow a few people from him, but now it's good, he threw himself away, and made it clear that this matter could not be done, and it had nothing to do with him Ma Fuhua, and this matter was done, once someone pursued it, it still had nothing to do with him Ma Fuhua.
It was only at this time that Xie Yuru felt that Ma Fuhua's character was very different from Wang Xizhen's. Fortunately, his friends in the academy at the beginning always had a few good relationships in the Pingjin area, and he was not completely unavailable.
Although Ma Fuhua refused to give out, he still promised 100,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount, enough for Xie Yuru to operate.
###
It was not easy to make an appointment with Qi Jiren, Xie Yuru became a southern businessman, and was introduced by a wealthy local businessman in Tianjin, and wanted to ask Qi Jiren to help solve a land problem in Ningbo.
Ningbo is in his sphere of influence, Xie Yuru promised to give Qi Jiren 200,000 hardship expenses after the completion of the matter, in order to make up for the revolutionary army's activity funds, Qi Jiren decided to talk to Xie Yuru first.
He was suspicious by nature, and although the local businessman in Tianjin had known him for six years, he still didn't trust him much. For Xie Yuru, he has to find out by himself.
made an appointment to meet at a teahouse, Xie Yuru packed up and set off with two "secretaries", and the rickshaw they called was divided into two and went downstairs to the teahouse one after the other.
Qi Jiren had actually arrived a long time ago, but he was not in the teahouse box, but in the house on the second floor opposite the teahouse, he opened a gap in the window, and stared at the door of the teahouse with a pair of eyes.
He watched Xie Tang get out of the car, and then watched Xie Tangru walk into the teahouse, and then smoked two cigarettes by himself, and then stood up and took four or five people to the teahouse.
This teahouse is set by Qi Jiren, it has been cleaned up yesterday, and now it looks like it is an ordinary normal business, but in fact, it is his people from top to bottom.
It is a book teahouse that receives tea drinkers in the morning, and in the afternoon and evening, it invites artists who speak stories and sing drums. It would be morning, there were not many people eating tea, and there were two tables sitting sporadically in the hall, and they didn't really come to eat tea.
Xie Yuru followed behind Xiao Er, carrying the hem of his mink coat, and stepped on the wooden stairs with a bang, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that this place had been thoroughly cleaned by Qi Jiren.
Xie Yuru sighed slightly in his heart, but on the surface, he was complaining about the weather in Baoding with the two "secretaries" who were traveling with him.
He sat down for more than ten minutes before Qi Jiren appeared at the door of the box with someone, Xie Yuru greeted him warmly, and wanted to shake hands, but was stopped by the people around him.
Xie Yuru didn't care, he still smiled politely, after the two of them were seated, Qi Jiren didn't waste time, and directly began to ask all kinds of detailed questions about the land in Ningbo.
He is very familiar with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he has been to Ningbo many times, if Xie Tang really has any horses, he must not be able to hide it under his questioning.
Fortunately, Xie Yuru was not stupid, he did a lot of homework in advance, and in order to be realistic, he even asked someone to make a transaction contract.
Qi Jiren looked back and forth twice on the contract, "Is he going to break the contract?" ”
Xie Yuru nodded, "We originally negotiated, but suddenly a Japanese man appeared, and the price was lower than ours, but the seller couldn't afford to offend, and felt that it was just a verbal agreement with me, so he regretted it." ”
Qi Jiren raised his eyebrows, "There are so many places in Ningbo, why do you have to be so fast?" ”
Xie Yuru smiled bitterly, "Originally, it wasn't necessary to be here, but I came out this time to do a test question that was actually my father's father, and I had already talked about it before, and I had already told my family, but now I suddenly can't do it, I'm afraid that the cheap will be taken by my brother." ”
Xie Yuru's words are false and real, and he portrays himself as a son who has a second room, as if this matter is not done well, and he will not be able to inherit a dime of family business.
When Qi Jiren heard him say this, he suddenly felt that he had the upper hand, and for a while he felt that the hard work of 200,000 yuan seemed to be a bit small. He was pressed too tight by the funds of the revolutionary army, and now that he had an opportunity, he naturally wanted to knock on more money.
"Lu Shisan didn't tell me that the other party was Japanese, I thought it was an internal problem, and it was solved by mutual humility, why is it still involved with the Japanese now?"
Lu Shisan is the one who helped Xie Yuru to make the introduction, he is a businessman in Tianjin, his family was well-off in his early years, and there is only one haberdashery store left that has been ruined by him in the past few years.
"Brother Lu saw that I was depressed and invited me to eat and drink, so I just told me about it, he drank a lot at the time, and he probably couldn't remember it."
Lu Shisan is indeed famous for his good drinking and gambling, Qi Jiren didn't have any suspicions, but he felt that this was a good thing, "You know, the other party is Japanese, and things don't look good." ”
When Xie Yuru heard this, his first reaction was that he didn't want to do this thing, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might just be taking Qiao.
"Yes, yes, I understand. So you see, what to do? ”
Xie Tangru wanted Qi Jiren to speak, but Qi Jiren didn't plan to speak by himself, so he watched calmly, and in the end, it was Xie Tangru who broke the deadlock.
"Look, twenty-five?"
As if he had heard a joke, Qi Jiren said to the people behind him: "Listen, this young master from the south thinks he is in the Daci Pavilion." ”
Daci Pavilion is a big vegetable market in Baoding, every day buyers and traders adjust the price, all are Mao eight cents, he is disgusted with less money.
Xie Yuru didn't come to Baoding for a long time, and he didn't cook by himself, and he didn't know where Daci Pavilion was, but listening to Qi Jiren's tone, he could still judge his intentions.
But Xie Yuru didn't plan to let go too quickly, after all, it would be 300,000 if he added it, which was not a small amount of money, and he always had to weigh it to be decent.
Xie Yuru asked Qi Jiren, he went to talk to his secretary alone, Qi Jiren nodded, and Xie Yuru took the two "secretaries" in addition to the box.
They did a full set of plays, and the three of them muttered for a long time about the 300,000 things outside, and their voices were loud and small, which was just for people who came and went at will.
They had to come up with an extra 100,000 yuan, which was not easy for Xie Yuru to play now, but after discussing it, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Qi Jiren sat in the box, but he was also clear about what was going on outside, the little teaman came in and filled the water twice, and learned the words of Xie Yuru outside.
When Xie Yuru came back, Qi Jiren already had a full grasp of the 300,000 activity funds.
The two negotiated the price, so naturally they had to make another appointment, after all, the seller was in Ningbo, and it was not something that could be arranged in a moment.
According to Qi Jiren's intentions, Xie Yuru sent a telegram to the seller when he returned in the evening, and then waited for the seller to come to Baoding, and Qi Jiren personally dealt with it.
But at this time, Xie Yuru seemed to have no news.
This time, it was Qi Jiren's turn to be anxious.
