The next thing made Han Linchun like a dream, and after receiving an affirmative answer, the attitude of this group of people has changed greatly. He briefly explained the situation of being entrusted to see Wang Jiuguang, and the other party said very happily: "No problem, I will send you to see our ninth master." ”

The relationship is a little closer, and Han Linchun is relieved. He kindly took out a few oceans from his pocket: "Give the money for the brother's car." "The car money is not so much, one is that I have palpitations, and the other is that I know that it is not easy for everyone to make a living outside, and I ask them to do things, and they should make friends.

I didn't know that this group of people didn't look at it, and said in a loud voice: "Since we are friends of the Ninth Master, if we take money, won't we be scolded to death!" Brother was offended just now, don't be surprised. Not only did he not charge money, but he also came to a few cars, asked Han Linchun to sit in one, and then began to run towards the river.

This time it was the street, and Han Linchun rarely had the leisure to appreciate the customs. The car went all the way, and the crowd became more concentrated, but it seemed that there were many coolies. After about an hour, we came to a pier.

In a room, Han Linchun saw the Wang Jiuguang he was looking for. Called the Ninth Master by them, he thought that it must be their leader, he must be a man with five big and three thick, otherwise how could he suppress them, but he didn't want to see an elegant young man wearing gold wire glasses at a glance, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Wang Jiuguang listened to the introduction of his subordinates, smiled and stretched out his hand, not at all like a good man licking blood on the knife edge, but like a teacher: "Are you?" ”

Han Linchun raised his voice heroically: "Brother Han Linchun, who is the commander of the first division under Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, was ordered to come to Shanghai to buy some equipment. ”

Wang Jiuguang's face was pale: "Oh, brother, I don't seem to know you." "Dare to love, the aura of Zhang Dashuai and the division commander didn't make him have any ideas, it was just a symbol.

Only then did Han Linchun remember that Zhang Dashuai's reputation was not easy to use, and he blamed himself for getting used to it. He smiled and said, "Don't hide it, it was the young marshal who entrusted me to come and ask Mr. for help." ”

Wang Jiuguang's face was a little better, and he remembered the past with Zhang Hanqing in Beijing, and a burst of joy floated in his heart.

After that meeting, although Zhang Hanqing failed to persuade him to join the Feng faction, his words made him reflect on his previous behavior. In politics, no one is right or wrong, or at a certain time and place, no one knows the heart of others. Thinking about these fancy intestines is a burden for this upright hero, he simply put it down and led a group of fellow villagers from Anhui to live a good life in Shanghai.

His good days are land grabbing.

The beginning began when the owner of the goods withheld the labor money of the workers. He went to an iron shop and shot a hundred axes overnight, and the next day he led people into the owner's office, and everything was settled;

He wrestled with Huang Jinrong, the strongest leader of the Green Gang in Shanghai, and robbed him of a piece of dock business. Under the obscenity of the Axe Gang, Huang Jinrong finally chose to reconcile and set aside this dock for the management of the Anhui Guild Hall. Since then, the prestige of the Axe Gang has spread all over Shanghai. Wang Yaqiao's name also resounded in Shanghai and was respected as the "Ninth Master".

This is not Wang Yaqiao's most proud, what he is most pleased with is that a group of Anhui laborers can finally live a not good life with him, this sense of achievement gradually dilutes his disgust with the government, it turns out that this life is also very good.

After all, he was also entrusted by the old man, and he made a special trip to find him, so Wang Yaqiao also took advantage of the friendship of the landlord and invited Han Linchun to have a meal. During the banquet, Han Linchun mentioned the matter of looking for Chen Bui, and Wang Yaqiao agreed.

They talked more about Zhang Hanqing, and Han Linchun talked about Zhang Hanqing's various deeds of suppressing bandits, party building, land reform, economic construction, and army building, and these deeds have been heard a lot in Shanghai. But when Han Linchun told this kind of story in the first person, Wang Yaqiao listened to it with relish. He has a delicate heart and is very sensitive to practical things that can benefit the common people, and in any case, it is always a good thing to divide land and engage in industry. As for the rest, don't say a word.

I didn't expect that inconspicuous kid to do such a big thing in just a few years, and the funny thing is that he almost let his little life go west! Thinking of this, Wang Yaqiao felt embarrassed, so when Han Linchun mentioned that the purpose of his trip was to buy a machine, he nodded and said, "This is a good thing, if there is a need for brothers, just ask." ”

How can an underworld help in this matter, everyone is talking with the money in their pockets, okay? Han Linchun didn't know that Wang Yaqiao never promised easily, but he really made a promise! He thought it was just a casual polite remark. Full of wine and food, he said to Wang Yaqiao: "Thanks to the hospitality of the Ninth Master, my brother is not strong enough to drink, so let's get here first." When the brother's task is completed, the brother will be the east and say goodbye to the ninth master. ”

There was something to do, Wang Yaqiao didn't stay much, sent a car, and escorted him back to the hotel with two brothers.

After chatting with these two little brothers along the way, Han Linchun was really taken aback when he learned that Wang Yaqiao had become the leader of the Axe Gang that was famous on the beach. In any case, he couldn't connect the short, skinny young man with the Axe Gang. In the Northeast, I only occasionally heard people talk about a "ninth master" in Shanghai, but I didn't expect it to be him. It's just that how did the young marshal get in touch with him? It depends on the situation, the relationship between the two is quite good!

When I came to the hotel, I found Yang Wenkai sitting on the steps next to the hotel with a gray face, lost in despair. He was a little surprised, and hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Brother Wen Kai, what's wrong?" ”

When Yang Wenkai saw him coming, he felt that he had found the backbone of the heart, he hugged Han Linchun's legs, and said with a cry: "Old Han, I have committed the crime of killing my head!" ”

Seeing this, Han Linchun's heart jumped inexplicably, and he stiffened himself to prevent himself from thinking about the worst: "What the hell is going on?" ”

So Yang Wenkai told the story intermittently, and he really got into trouble.

It turned out that the guys in the hotel saw that these two Northeast people were very generous, and they estimated that they had a lot of money at hand, so they moved their minds. These guys have some gang backgrounds, and they also have an unusual relationship with some big casinos and big brothels. Yang Wenkai went out for a walk, and when he saw the notice that the auction would not start until three days later, he wanted to relax and relax, but who knew that he would enter the way of others.

Yang Wenkai is good at everything else, but there is a problem: good gambling. These guys are all human spirits, how can there be no reason to prescribe the right medicine? So he was taken to a nearby casino and played roulette to gamble. It's a pity that the gambling luck is not good, and he has been defeated repeatedly, and he is not careful, and he actually loses most of the money for buying machinery.

Then there's the cliché. The guys instigated him to turn over the book, but he was also anxious and couldn't stop, so he could only continue to gamble in the "fearless spirit" of repeated defeats. just said that the fish was made up, but who knew that the net was lost, and the 500,000 yuan was all gone!

Han Linchun's eyes widened: "All lost?!" ”

Yang Wenkai's tears couldn't stop flickering in the corners of his eyes: "It's all lost!" ”

It's too bad, but what can I do? Do you admit your mistake to Zhang Zuolin for help? is afraid that Zhang Zuolin will be condemned; Don't you tell Zhang? If you make a mistake in buying a machine, you will not be able to afford it. Han Linchun remembered the importance that the young marshal attached to him, and he jumped from an outsider to the point of being on an equal footing with the veterans of the Feng department, which can be described as a reinvention of kindness. The first time I brought someone out to do something, I did it so disgracedly, not to mention betraying the trust of the young marshal, and it was possible to make the young marshal responsible, I couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and regretted not being at the beginning: "Lao Yang, how can you gamble with the money you bought the machine!" You're so muddy! How can I explain to the old and young marshal! ”

Yang Wenkai was ashamed, and also remembered the young marshal's trust in him, and said regretfully: "The mistake has been made, and I can only apologize for my sin!" I have nothing else to say, after I die, the young marshal will definitely treat my family well. Please just tell my son, Lao Han, that you will not gamble in the future! ”

Han Linchun still knows the truth that talents are rare, Zhang Hanqing poached them, but he would not force people to death because of this kind of mistake, and the old handsome man is still very kind to people. He thought for a while and helped Yang Wenkai up: "Old Yang, we made the wrong first step, it's not a pity to die, our business hasn't been finished yet." Let's discuss with our family again to see how we can recover this loss! ”

The two people who escorted him back listened to the ins and outs of the matter, and it turned out that people in this officialdom were not only good at gambling, but the amount of this bet was very large, and they were also very bold! One person said, "I don't know what the casino Yang Ye went to is called?" ”

Although Yang Wenkai was full of remorse, his mind was still very bright, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It seems to be called 'Gongxing Club', which is over there in the French Concession." ”

The two of them shook their heads together and said: "This is very difficult, this 'Gongxing Club' is the territory of Boss Huang, and there are French people covering it, so it will be difficult to find the field." "Ten gambles and nine cheats, I lost such a large amount of money so quickly, and I can figure out with my toes that there is a cat in the middle.

Huang Boss is the famous Huang Jinrong in Shanghai, and it is said that he has 100,000 disciples under his command, controlling almost every corner and all walks of life in Shanghai. Even Wang Yaqiao himself didn't dare to find his field easily, not to mention that he was willing to gamble and lose, and others took advantage of it first. However, in the spirit of self-indulgence, the two said together: "Brother Liu doesn't have to be too sad, let's go back and talk to the ninth master to see if there is any way to get it back." ”

You don't need to think about it at all, Han and Yang are both old rivers and lakes, can't you hear the meaning of this comfort? But I still thanked them for their concern. Han Linchun suddenly saw a big change, and still said goodbye to the two very calmly: "Thank you two for taking care of you, my brother has something in his heart, so he won't be far away." ”

After thinking about it, this matter cannot be delayed. That night, Han Linchun had the courage to write a telegram to Zhang Zuolin, explaining the reason: "I regret it, I wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the Huangpu River, and I am afraid that I will delay the major event of buying a machine." Please remit the machine money of 500,000 yuan as soon as possible, and return the petition when the machine is bought, and never give up! ”

There will be no death, but the leadership responsibility that should be borne must still be shouldered. Yang Wenkai is the director of the factory, and although he has the right to manage, he nominally has to live under himself as a member of the supervisory committee.

originally wanted to write it to Zhang Hanqing, but in the end it was directly given to Zhang Zuolin. If you are a single person, you can do things by yourself, what are the consequences of being borne by yourself, why bother to put the young marshal on again?
