Chapter 34: Shock
In the aftermath of the kidnapping, the aftermath lingered. Individual shareholders of New World were kicked out of the company and a new batch came in. Of course, Huang Chujiu also received a sum of money from the other party to make amends, and compared with the bounty paid, the favor fee spent, he even made a small profit.
The bigger the business of the big world, the more prosperous it is, and even the other businesses with Huang Chujiu are also on fire. After all, the news of Shanghai Beach spread very quickly, and the thieves were killed instead of blackmailing, or sank the Huangpu River, or died in the fire.
As for Wang Mengxiong, the little hero who killed the Quartet in the upper body of Guan Erye, who was handed down by the immortals, still returned to the Gu family class and seriously followed Gu Chuanbiao to learn the flying knife skills. Now that his flying knife is accurate, there is still a long way to go if he wants to hit it blindfolded like Gu Chuanbiao.
On this day, Wang Mengxiong finished the performance, and after saying hello to Gu Chuanqi, he went out of the big world, called a rickshaw, and went to Kong Xi's rented residence.
Along the way, we passed a junction where a group of people were gathered. Wang Mengxiong thought it was an accident, but he didn't know that he had guessed wrong after getting closer. It turned out to be a newsboy who was surrounded by everyone to buy a newspaper, and the person who bought it couldn't wait to read it on the spot, his face was very solemn.
An old man laughed like a madman when he read the newspaper, threw the newspaper in his hand into the sky, and shouted, "It's changed!" It's restored! My emperor of the Qing Dynasty is back! ”
The newspaper was blown by the wind, and it happened to blow to Wang Mengxiong's side, he quickly grabbed the newspaper with his hand, quickly browsed it, and soon found the news in the special location of the "Declaration".
"Beijing telegraph at 2 o'clock last night Zhang Xun, Kang Youwei, Liang Dingfen and others conspired to restore, since then Liang Dingfen immediately asked President Li to abdicate, Wen Qing Emperor Xuantong ascended the throne at 4 o'clock in the current dynasty, Beijing is densely packed with military and police."
Wang Mengxiong looked at it, isn't this the restoration of Zhang Xun that he learned from history books? It's just that the dream lasted for twelve days, and it ended in failure, ending this farce of restoration.
When he arrived at Kong Xi's residence, Kong Lingkan had been waiting for him at the door for a long time. Seeing him come to the door, it was directly a flutter and hung on Wang Mengxiong's body.
"Ling Kan, pay attention to your image."
A woman in a cheongsam embroidered with a rich peony pattern came out of the room, looking at Kong Lingkan dotingly, but criticizing him in her mouth. But as long as it's a person, you can see the clues from her attitude, and you can't take it seriously.
Kong Lingkan's tutor is still very good, although he is usually pampered a little lawless, but in front of outsiders, he still reins in time, so as not to embarrass his mother.
"Mom, this is my good brother Wang Fan, who was born and died with me, didn't you always say that you want to thank him in person? Now is your chance, and you can play to your heart's content! “
The woman smiled and beckoned to Wang Mengxiong, and said enthusiastically, "Wang Fan, right?" Always wanted to thank you in person for saving my son. I fell ill after the child disappeared, and it was only a few days before I got better, so I sent someone to send the invitation to Boss Gu to invite you to come over for a light meal, and I would like to thank you as a mother! “
Wang Mengxiong pretended to be innocent, and walked into the living room without any scheming by this rich and compelling woman, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
"Song Ai, the eldest of the legendary three sisters turned out to be like this, although it is not beautiful in terms of Oriental aesthetics, but this temperament is unmatched. Sure enough, it was a woman who had been the secretary of the president, and this person was dressed in extraordinary clothes, speech and demeanor. It is said that when she was a student at Wesleyan College for Women in the United States, she was able to deduce how much property each classmate's father owned from a person's clothing. If the rumors are true, this observation and calculation power is really not to be underestimated! “
In the living room, Kong Xi was also reading a newspaper. Wang Mengxiong didn't need to look carefully to know what he was concerned about, it must be the news of Zhang Xun's restoration. Sure enough, after saying hello to Wang Mengxiong, Kong Xi said angrily to Song Ai: "Zhang Xun, an old stubborn, actually went against the grain and moved Pu Yi out to be the emperor again, did he forget that he was a Han and still wanted to be a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" “
Song Ai personally poured Kong Xi a cup of tea, and after handing it to him, he persuaded in a clear and mellow voice: "Darling, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger and go to the fire, it's not worth being angry about this." It has been six years since the Republic of China, and the common people have done enough to be the slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 300 years. He is Zhang Xun, plus Kang Guangren, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, can't make much waves. What's more, Mr. Sun is still there, and he won't watch it! “
Kong Xi has always attached great importance to him, a wife who studied in the United States, although he cannot reach the point of obeying his words, but he is very convinced in his heart. After listening, he nodded, agreeing with his wife's opinion.
"It's just that in this way, the war has broken out again, and the people have just passed a few years of peace, and I am afraid that they will suffer again!"
Kong Xi suddenly thought of something, and said to Song Ai: "Madam, when the war is chaotic, prices will inevitably skyrocket. Do you think we should stock up on some supplies first and wait until the appropriate price to release them, so as to raise some funds for Mingxian School? “
"Well, your judgment is not unreasonable, it just so happens that I still have a sum of money in my hand, and I will borrow some from my father and Ziwen, it should be enough."
The two of them were talking, and they noticed that Wang Mengxiong and Kong Lingkan were both sitting there honestly listening, and they felt a little funny. Kong Xi deliberately teased him and said: "Nephew Wang Fanxian, you still have a big bounty there, and Ling Kan also has 1,000 yuan of private money, do you want to invest it together?" It's a rare opportunity, but don't blame us for not taking good things with you? “
Wang Mengxiong shook his head resolutely, saying that he didn't want this opportunity to make a fortune. Even if Kong Lingkan next to him secretly stabbed him with his fingers, he refused to change his mind. There is a reason why he did this, and history clearly says that Zhang Xun's restoration ended in failure in just twelve days. If you speculate in the wrong direction and lose all your money, won't you waste your money!
"Oh? There must be some reason why you don't take the road to get rich? You must know if you are Ling Kan's life-saving benefactor, or his friend in distress, your uncle will not harm you! “
Kong Xi became curious about Wang Mengxiong's performance, he could refuse such a good thing, no matter how he saw that this child was not a stupid person, how could it be like this?
Wang Mengxiong pondered for a long time, feeling that it was still Lakongxi. Although it can be seen from the fact that he was able to serve as the Minister of Finance later, known as one of the four major families, he was not defeated by this mistake in judgment, but it is still possible to be a favor. After all, no one will have too much affection. In the future, it will be full of wealth.
"Uncle, I don't know if you believe it, anyway, I don't think this person named Zhang Xun will succeed. Listen to his name, Zhang Xun Zhang Xun, the business has only been open for ten years. Look, pinch the head and remove the tail, and it won't take more than ten years to fail. So hoarding Juqi now, I'm afraid it will be smashed in my hands in the future! “
