The setting sun shone obliquely into the room, the sunlight cast a square shadow on the carpet through the glass window, and the people waiting to see Xie Yuru on the sofa in the living room had different expressions.

The emaciated old man fiddled with the white jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, occasionally habitually touching the top of his head, which was already about to lose his hair.

His surname is Wang, he is in the grain business in Beiping, and he heard that Xie Dujun has now gathered the strength of the troops of Zhili, and there is no need to be controlled by others, so he specially prepared a Bodhisattva statue of the Ming Dynasty and came to ask for a meeting.

This Mr. Wang was originally from Ma Xingwen's faction, and sent 100 quintals of grain to Ma Xingwen every quarter to ensure his absolute status in the grain trading industry in Beiping.

Seventy or eighty percent of the coarse and fine grains in the entire Zhili Province were sent out from under his hands. Now that Ma Xingwen is dead, no matter what the inside situation is, he needs to find another backer.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law had a good relationship with Ma Xingwen's fourth aunt, so she had the opportunity to recognize the door of Xie Mansion. He heard that the overseers had been stopped a few days earlier, and that they had been politely received briefly by the Overseer's wife, and then sent away. He didn't report any hope when he came today, and he never thought that he would be able to wait in the living room at the moment.

He slowly flicked his fingers and glanced at the man sitting on the couch at ten o'clock. The man's hair was shiny and shiny, his suit didn't fit well, and his briefcase and leather shoes were old. He looked at the floor-to-ceiling clock on the side of the living room, as if he had lost patience, but he had something urgent to see.

Wang Weisheng sneered in disgust in his heart, and continued to observe the person directly opposite him. At the moment when the big clock in the living room chimeed, in the game room on the third floor, Xie Tang scored a goal neatly.

Jiang Wanwen rubbed his cue head and said dissatisfiedly, "I really doubt that your wound is fake." ”

Lu Yongxing agreed, "I was going to see him a few days ago, but I was sent away by my sister-in-law." Today he suddenly called me over, but I came here after putting it off business. As a result, he didn't say anything, just played. ”

Xie Yuru's white shirt could faintly reveal the milky white of the bandage, he leaned over and aimed on the table, and with a "snap", another ball went into the hole.

"I'll wait for half an hour, and I'll send you out myself."

Lu Yongxing yawned, "It's too boring, it's better to play cards with my mother at home." ”

Complaining is complaining, but the two of them still waited for another half an hour, and then Xie Tang sent the two to the door as if they were receiving strangers, shook hands with them respectively, and thanked them for their generosity at the end.

Jiang Wanwen and Lu Yongxing were not surprised at all, as if they were not surprised that he pulled them to play. When the people were sent away, Xie Yuru showed tiredness, nodded to the few people waiting in the living room, and was helped upstairs by Xie Xin.

Wang Weisheng is also a person with a head and a face in Beiping, and at this moment, seeing Xie Yuru showing a little tiredness, he is afraid that he will not be able to see him today, something has happened in Beiping, if there is no one to replace Ma Xingwen to support him, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve. So, in a hurry, he stood up and looked up and called out to the Overseer.

Xie Yuru went upstairs very slowly, and when he heard Wang Wei calling him, he didn't turn back, but just paused for a moment, and then continued to walk upstairs.

"Overseer, thank you!"

He gave Xie Xin a gesture, and Xie Xin let go of the hand that was holding him, ran down the stairs, walked to Wang Weisheng's side, and whispered a few words to him.

The other people present didn't know why, they all looked at them suspiciously, but the king nodded his head again and again and said yes, and in the end, he didn't have a superfluous word, and left directly.

The young man with his shabby leather bag couldn't sit still, and he reached out to stop Xie Xin as he was about to leave, and kindly asked when he would see the Overseer.

Xie Xin had an impression of people, because he had been here a few days ago, even if he was closed, he could wait quietly outside the door, and now he was about to wear out his patience to the limit, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Xie Xin glanced upstairs and shook his head helplessly, "The Overseers are still sick, and there are really not many things to deal with and people to see in a day. As I told my husband two days ago, even if I could wait here, I wouldn't be able to see the Overseers. ”

Liao Wanyu took Xin Xiaoyue into the door at this time, she didn't know the stranger in the living room, she looked at Xie Xin when she looked at it, smiled at him, and went back to the room.

She took Xin Xiaoyue to see Yin Xuming again during the day, and when she saw the patrols and patrolling policemen coming and going on the street, she could also feel that the situation was not very good. But how it was not very good, she couldn't say.

Xie Yuru frequently sees guests at home, and there are seven or eight people in the house who come and go in a day, she doesn't know what he is doing, and she hasn't inquired. It wasn't until one day when she opened the door and saw Xie Yuru walking down with a young man who was quite familiar that she understood why he was asking people to go out of his house frequently these days.

The young man in the black robe was none other than the young commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces, Huang Yanzhi.

"This is Mrs. Zun?"

Xie Yuru smiled, "The insider went to my sister-in-law's house, this is a friend." ”

Huang Yanzhi himself is more vivid than in the photos in the newspaper, Liao Wanyu is not good at staring at people all the time, smiling and nodding is considered to have said hello, and is about to retreat to the room.

"We're going to have afternoon tea and have a chat by the way, will you come along?"

This was said by Huang Yanzhi, and Liao Wanyu glanced at Xie Yuru, waiting for his attitude.

"Let's be together, then."

She didn't know if it would be inconvenient for her to talk to them, but her reaction was obviously to recognize Huang Yanzhi, and it was not good to refuse directly when he asked for afternoon tea, so she had to wait to see what Xie Yuru meant. Now that Xie Yuru also called her along, she felt that it should be nothing important, and she was afraid of what others would hear.

The place of afternoon tea was in the back garden of the Xie family, and Qiao Minzhi raised a few white rabbits, which were running around on the grass. When I saw someone coming, I wasn't afraid of life at all.

Huang Yanzhi sat on the left one of the three pitch-white chairs, and Liao Wanyu walked to the last seat without hesitation, leaving the middle to Xie Yuru.

They didn't leave servants to serve them, and they all brought their own sweet tea or snacks. Liao Wanyu listened quietly to the two chatting about who was in the hands of the various sections of the railways in the three eastern provinces, and what the prices of living materials were, and finally fell into the current situation.

After all, looking at this meaning, Huang Yanzhi's secret visit this time was to ask Xie Yuru to send troops to increase his troops.

"Dude, it's not that I don't want to go, but if the south doesn't express its position, it's not good for us to act on our own." He said sincerely, "Military expenses are all in the hands of others, and tens of thousands of people are mighty, and it is not easy to pull them out." ”

Liao Wanyu made a rough calculation in her heart according to the prices of today's food, bullets, shells and other consumable materials, if she really went to the Northeast, it would cost more than 100,000 yuan.

This is a lot of money, but for Xie Yuru, it is definitely not much, and he used military expenses to say that it was nothing more than an excuse.

Huang Yanzhi was silent for a while after listening to Xie Yuru's words, he was just a puppet, whether it was at home or in the army, everything was still controlled by his father. He doesn't have any savings of his own, even if he wants Xie Yuru to send troops to increase his troops, he doesn't have the confidence to say that he can afford the cost of promotion.

He actually envied Xie Yuru in his heart, he was two or three years younger than him next year, but he was already able to be the master of the house. He knew that Xie Yuru had only gotten rid of the two sons of the Ma family and incorporated the old departments of the two.

Huang Yan looked down on Xie Yuru's methods and personality on the one hand, and envied him paradoxically on the other.

"You and I have known each other for a few years, and you don't have to prevaricate me with that. If you want to fight, you won't care about the attitude of the south. ”

Liao Wanyu lowered her eyes and stared at the black teacup in her hand, but she didn't expect the two of them to know each other for a long time.

"Zijun, I only have 70,000 or 80,000 people, and your father claims to have an army of 300,000 people, and he hasn't moved yet, so it's not my turn to do this."

Huang Yanzhi sighed softly, "What he means is to ask the Japanese to talk to Lao Maozi himself." But now that Lao Maozi has run away, the murderer has already returned to China, and the Japanese side has asked to hand over the culprit, so there is no intention to talk about it at all. ”

"I know you're embarrassed." Xie Yuru reached out and patted Huang Yanzhi's shoulder.

"What does Miss Liao do on weekdays? Isn't it boring to stay in Tianjin for the time being if you don't fight Taiping now? ”

Liao Wanyu shook her head, "Fortunately, if you are not in a hurry about work, you can send a telegram, and if you are in a hurry, you can also have a phone." ”

Huang Yanzhi was a little surprised, "Miss Liao is a new woman, what is she doing?" He thought that Liao Wanyu should be doing something like a teacher and an accountant.

"As a banker, when your soldiers can't afford to support them, you can use your house and land to get a loan."

Xie Yuru's words were ridiculous, and Huang Yanzhi smiled bitterly after hearing this, "I'm not as good as a little girl, I haven't done a good thing since I was a child." ”

Liao Wanyu didn't know what she should answer, so she simply didn't say anything. Xie Yuru didn't mean to comfort him, so he spoke again and directly changed the topic.

"Zijun, I want to engage in rack planes, what do you think?"

Huang Yanzhi snorted, "Just told me that there was no opening fee, and now you want a plane?" The South Side won't give you an allocation. ”

Xie Yuru hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly, "I didn't count on them, but I have found out in the past few days that there are still a lot of rich people in our Zhili." ”

Liao Wanyu put down the teacup in her hand, glanced at Xie Yuru quickly with her peripheral vision, and thought, how come this person has only been in power for a few days, and he hasn't learned anything else, so he has learned to reach out and ask for money first.

"I've seen a lot of people these days so that you can come. The two brothers of the Ma family are gone, and many people are panicking. They took that much money in the first place, and it didn't use it in the right place. Even if I take it now, it won't be for nothing. ”

What kind of armament are the Japanese army and the Russians Huang Yanzhi knows better than Xie Yuru and understands it better, plus he has watched his father do things since he was a child, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with taking people's money and keeping people safe.

But after listening to this, Liao Wanyu, a civilian, had some strange feelings in her heart, "So do you want to ask for it directly?" ”

Xie Tang didn't care, he leaned back in his chair, "If I don't speak, someone will send it." "He was injured this time and received a bunch of gifts, big and small.

Two ruffians. Liao Wanyu thought in her heart. She was a trader, and she always felt that reaching out for money so bluntly was no different from the bandits who robbed them in the mountains.

"Since they are all confiscated for military use, why not do a charity auction?"

Now this is very popular in Shanghai, the actual value of things is not important, the point is, decent.
