Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Night of Murder in the Dark of the Moon
There are many rules for Teochew people to move, such as pregnant women should go back to their parents' house during the move, turn on the fire to cook glutinous rice balls and desserts on the day of moving, and set up banquets to invite guests and friends twice before and after moving out of the old house and moving into the new house.
At this time, in the shantytown of Tsim Sha Tsui, among a bunch of illegally built wooden houses, the road in front of Su Jingxian's house was tightly blocked, and the six tables of banquets were full.
"Brother Cai, Sister Ru, what a blessing!"
"When I was a child, I could see that he was not an ordinary person, and now I have estimated him, right?"
"Halva Bing, when did you become a fortune teller again? Brother Cai, Sister Ru, I salute you, congratulations! ”
"Sister Ru, my Shulan is also sixteen years old, what do you think of letting young people move around more in the future?"
At the banquet, the neighbors who came to congratulate frequently raised their glasses, and came to Su Shoucai and Zheng Liru's table one after another to toast, their eyes full of envy.
has lived in the wooden house area for many years, and now seeing that the Su family will soon be able to move out of this dirty and messy place, even the neighbors who don't move around the neighborhood have come to show their goodwill, and they all express their hope to be taken care of in the future.
However, few neighbors went to Su Jingxian's table to disturb them, because most of the guests sitting at Su Jingxian's table were managed by newspapers and magazines, all dressed in suits and leather shoes, and the neighbors in the wooden house area felt that the identity gap was huge and cramped, and Su Jingxian was also quiet.
"Boss, congratulations on the housewarming, everyone will help together after dinner, and send these furniture to the new home and put it up." Chen Bingzhong drank a few glasses of wine, his face was red, and he opened his mouth with the smell of wine.
All the furnishings in the wooden house have been loaded, but according to the rules of Chaozhou people to move, the owner must enter the house with the furniture, so now several cars are still parked at the street corner and have not driven away.
"I hired two lion dance teams, and when the furnished car drove away, let them follow the car, all the way to Wan Chai!" Zhou Huan, deputy editor-in-chief of China Hong Kong Daily, loves to pat on the back, and at this time, it is natural to express his feelings.
Su Jingxian smiled, raised his glass and touched the two editors-in-chief: "Don't be so exaggerated, I originally wanted to clean the new house, and invite everyone to come when the house is noisy, but it's rare that there are people today, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!" ”
"If it weren't for the rich man to tell everyone, we would still be kept in the dark, the house is a house, and we should do our part to move now!" Zhong Qiang, who was on the side, smiled and picked up the wine jug and filled the glasses of everyone on the table.
The rich man Song Jiaheng is obviously a veteran of the wine field, his eyes are clear, and he said with a smile: "Ah Qiang is right, I didn't know that the boss lived here before, and I never visited, but now this moving wine must be drunk." ”
Now everyone at the table, except for the first few elders of the earliest China and Hong Kong Daily, knew that Su Jingxian lived in the wooden house area, and everyone else was visiting Su Jingxian's house for the first time.
Not far from Su Jingxian's table, the two Zheng family brothers who were sitting at the same table with Su Shoucai and Zheng Liru had a smile on their faces, but their eyes frequently looked at Su Jingxian at the adjacent table.
Uncle Zheng Yunhong and the second Zheng Yuntu glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
Both of them are human spirits, before Zheng Pengxiao belittled Su Jingxian to worthless in front of them, but now from the banquet, it seems that this is not the case, the employees of China Hong Kong Daily obviously respect Su Jingxian, and it is not purely the respect of subordinates for the boss, but also the friendship between friends, and they are happy.
It is impossible for a waste wood boss to mingle with his employees.
Zheng Yunhong held the chopsticks for a long time and did not move, observing the atmosphere on Su Jingxian's wine table, and secretly thought to himself.
As if feeling something, Su Jingxian suddenly turned around and met Zheng Yunhong's gaze.
The eyes of the two were separated in the air, Su Jingxian smiled and picked up the wine glass, stood up and signaled to the two brothers Zheng Yunhong and Zheng Yuntu, and at the same time spoke to the people around him: "Introduction, these two are my uncle, and they are also the father and uncle of Zheng Pengxiao's brother." Some time ago, the China Hong Kong Daily was burned down in Yuen Long, and thanks to the help of my two uncles, everyone toasted the two of them. ”
Hearing the name Zheng Pengxiao, the employees at the table showed unnatural looks on their faces, they did not have a good impression of Zheng Pengxiao, and even disgusted with his style in the company.
However, since the boss spoke, everyone also raised their glasses to the two brothers of the Zheng family and toasted in turn, without being rude at all.
After a round of drinking, Zheng Yuntu, who was drinking prostitutes and gambling, couldn't see anything on his face, but Uncle Zheng Yunhong was already drunk.
"Second brother, help me to make it easier." Zheng Yunhong put down his chopsticks and spoke to Zheng Yuntu beside him.
Zheng Yuntu nodded slightly, helped Zheng Yunhong, and the two walked towards the simple thatched house in the distance of the wooden house.
"The little red guy is not as unbearable as Ah Xiao said, I feel that he was demonstrating against me just now." After staying away from the crowd, Zheng Yunhong suppressed his wine and spoke slowly, "I asked the lawyer, the contract for the share transfer is not so slow, and the little nephew is playing tricks with us." ”
"I feel it too." Zheng Yuntu hiccuped, "But it doesn't matter, when they finish moving, I will find an excuse to ask him to pay back the money in two days, and then bring a lawyer to the door to make a fuss, and draw up a contract to force him to sign!" ”
He was in Huangpu Beach with a group of green-skinned hooligans, and the methods of bastard scoundrels were at his fingertips.
Zheng Yunhong pondered for a moment when he heard this, and finally did not object, nodding: "It's okay, everyone outside knows that you have a hot personality, and it's normal for you to come to the door to make trouble, and I'll come forward to end it when you're done." Now the trade association is greedy for me and Shen Rongtao to do free advertising in the newspaper one after another, but unfortunately we don't have the ability to make a big newspaper, the sooner we grasp this business, the greater the influence in the trade association. ”
"Understand, I'll go to a lawyer tomorrow, if he doesn't know what's wrong, last time he burned the newspaper hall, this time I even burned down his new home!" Zheng Yuntu hugged Zheng Yunhong and smiled contemptuously.
Before the banquet, Su Jingxian returned to the wine table, turned his head to look at the backs of the two brothers of the Zheng family leaving the table, and a contemptuous smile like Zheng Yuntu appeared on his face.
He did intend to demonstrate just now, so that the Zheng brothers could see their prestige among the employees, if it was some time ago, Su Jingxian might have deliberately hidden it in front of the two uncles, but now there is no need for that at all.
No matter what these two old things are secretly calculating now, it is already too late, and after tonight, the Cheng family will soon be removed from the Hong Kong weaving industry.

At night, at Pier 8 in the New Territories, several figures were shadowed in the night, and a 10,000-ton ship slowly docked in the distance.
"Brother Flying Eagle, is this the Zhang family's cargo ship?" A figure spoke.
Fei Ying, a Southeast Asian fugitive who hides in the Kowloon Walled City and rarely shows up, rubbed his chin and said, "You will know if you light the lamp and try it!" ”
When the little brother on the side heard this, he carried a portable light bulb and pressed the switch, flashing the lights at the three long and one short of the sea ship that gradually docked.
On the deck of the sea vessel, which quickly responded with the same flashing lights, was none other than the transport vessel of the European Coast Company.
"Awen, Awu, go and load the goods into the car, remember it's twenty boxes, don't make a mistake." Seeing the response of the ship docked at the dock, the flying eagle grinned and ordered the two younger brothers around him to go up and unload the cargo, while he turned around and walked towards a silver-gray dilapidated Chevrolet in the night.
On the tailgate next to the trunk of the Chevrolet, a woman with heavy makeup sitting, shaking her slender legs, throwing a wink at the eagle who came forward.
"Didn't you go back and wash up and wait for me in bed?" The eagle picked the woman up by the waist, laughed and kissed her on the cheek, and lifted the trunk tailgate with his other hand, looking inside through the moonlight.
In the trunk, Zheng Yuntu, the second master of the Zheng family, who had just finished his cruel words during the day and wanted to burn Su Jingxian's new house, was tied up and stuffed in it by Wuhua at this time, with thick tape on his mouth, and his eyes were full of horror.
