108 Under the glitz
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, even the so-called mountains in the north of the island, in fact, there is still a narrow strait, and because of the special geographical environment, it has become an important stronghold of the "Canton Fair" and major organizations for three hundred years.
Beicang Province can lose everything, but it can't be lost except for Kill Longgang.
A large number of ships have to dock, replenish, and rest here, and the largest dock group in the entire South China Sea is in the port of Killing.
There are actually quite a few people who are fed by the maritime trade.
Suzaku Street goes south, and when you reach the coastal road, from east to west, it is a relatively lively area.
There are many wine shops here, and there are various styles of wine, and all kinds of flavors and flavors can be found here, and wealthy merchants who come and go to Canglong Road often set up a stronghold here.
The local government in the Persian Sea will also set up offices here under the arrangement of the South China Sea Propaganda Embassy.
More than 100 years ago, there was another name for this place - Pingkangfang.
Just like Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, the government-run entertainment venues were originally for expatriate officials and nobles.
It's just that with the development of the times, technicians from state-owned enterprises and private enterprises exchange technologies with each other, and over time, an alternative style has been formed.
Some state-owned enterprises have even opened branches elsewhere, such as Qianjin Yixiaolou, which is a model of being able to become bigger and stronger.
"Pretty boy, drinking, eating, lodging or having fun. Our 'Persian Leather Workshop' service is first-class, and the new Miss Chasli is after the authentic Persian royal family! The waist is thin and the milk is fat, the life is good, and the blowing and playing and singing will be beautiful! ”
"Do you want to take a look at our 'Pisces Pavilion', the signature black fish and white fish fly like wings, and the treasure of the town hall is Angela, the new white fish girl in Syria, known as the 'Damascus Fallen Angel', 'Swallowing the Forbidden Fruit Raw' is absolutely happy! Xianggong, think about it?! ”
Xiao An, who was pedaling his bicycle, went all the way to see that outside the wine shop here in Pingkang Fang, the wharf was full of handymen soliciting business.
Of course, the miscellaneous servants who are willing to come out to solicit customers are generally not serious wine shops.
But then again, people who are willing to come here are generally not particularly interested in serious wine shops.
What I want is the kind of liquor store that is not serious, irregular, and very chaotic!
"This should be it."
Xiao Anxin silently recited a string of numbers: three, three, seven, eight.
Then I entered from the third entrance of Pingkang Square at the pier, but then turned right at the third intersection, found the seventh courtyard in the alley, entered it directly, and then parked the car in front of the eighth door number of the courtyard, and then went up and knocked on the door.
"Who~~"
The sound of squirming came, and after a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and I saw a woman at least forty years old, flashing a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at Xiao An with joy, "Yo~~ Brother Duojun, what kind of wind is this, blowing you here?" ”
As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand to pull Xiao An, "Come on, come on, I'm clean here......
"Inquire about something."
Xiao An turned sideways, avoiding the woman's tug, and then pulled out a silver dollar and handed it to her.
"Huh~ boring."
The woman rolled her eyes, and saw that she was not here to play, so she immediately twisted the waist of the water snake, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and turned to walk inside, "Come in......
"Hand over a message."
After entering the house, Xiao An stood there and spoke directly.
The woman folded her hands, sat down on the chair angrily, reached out and picked up a pack of cigarettes on the table, shook it, shook it, shook it out, and after holding it in her mouth, she didn't light it, but rolled her eyes and said, "To whom?" ”
"Chengdu Road Loyal Army."
"Twenty bucks."
Cha.
The very impatient woman lit a match, then took two puffs, squinted her eyes and didn't look at Xiao An, "How many days will it take?" ”
"One day."
"Add another hundred."
The woman seemed to be talking casually, as if she had no concept of money.
"Pay half upfront."
As he spoke, Xiao An's hand shook, and he didn't know when, but a money bag was thrown out and landed on the table steadily, and just right, the mouth of the money bag opened, and more than a dozen silver dollars slid out, which was very eye-catching under the light of light.
Glancing at the silver dollar, the woman had no superfluous expression, obviously unaccustomed, spat out a cigarette, and put her elbow on the back of her hand, "The content of the message." ”
"One word." Xiao An didn't go to see the woman, "The person is still alive." ”
With that, he turned and left the room.
After he left, the woman scolded: "What a handsome little brother, it's a pity not to come out and sell it." Alas, I really want to have fun......"
With that, she picked up the money bag on the table with another twist, and after shaking it, she went to the inner room, and then rang the bell, and a rickety old man came and waited.
"Go and send a telegram, Chengdu Mansion, let that side deliver a message to Chengdu Lu Zhongwu Army, four words: The person is still alive."
"Yes, ma'am."
The old man nodded slightly and didn't ask more.
After Xiao An left, he found that the guests here were very complicated along the way, and some guys had tattoos on their bodies that almost tattooed the word "pirate".
The sailors in their headscarves had different styles, but the ornaments on their waists showed what part of the sea their ships were in.
"Huh?"
I was pedaling my bicycle and was about to return, but I saw a group of well-dressed guys with a bunker entering a restaurant on the street.
This restaurant is very traditional, upstairs and downstairs layout, may also bring accommodation, that group of people into it, directly found the first floor of the street compartment, although it is very common when sitting, but one by one are looking around, this habit, Xiao An is very familiar.
After those people saw Xiao An, their eyes seemed to be casually separated, but this slight movement was still deliberate.
Ignoring it, Xiao An turned around, pedaled the bicycle and left.
It's just that as soon as he left, the people immediately slapped a dollar on the table, then changed to a wine shop, and found a new compartment facing the street to sit down.
Back at the residence, Ji Tianxia was flipping through the plan for "The Attic", and after hearing footsteps, he asked, "It's done?" ”
"That's it."
After that, Xiao An poured another cup of tea for Ji Tianxia, and after putting the teapot away, he said, "Mr. Ji, when I came back, I saw people who were in trouble. ”
"Huh?!"
Ji Tianxia frowned slightly, "How many people?" ”
"Six, in Pingkangfang."
"Could it be that Liu Yi has been calm for so long, just for them?"
"Mr. Ji, are the rebels coming back to kill Longgang?"
"It stands to reason that it won't, Shazam, Liu Yi and his son, Qian Dart brothers, any one, the strength behind it will not be able to compete with the chaotic party here in the South China Sea. However, this is common sense, and sometimes, something goes against common sense. ”
After that, Ji Tianxia said to Xiao An, "You go to the major docks, port areas, and shipyards to have a look, and the workers in these places are inseparable from the chaos of the party." ”
