Zhang Tao had another nightmare.

For a while, it was his parents, for a while it was Huaihua, for a while it was Tang Xiaoyun, and for a while it was "Singing the Sky", all of them were by his side, but no one paid attention to him, no matter who he talked to, these people just looked at him with a smile. Suddenly, these people disappeared, leaving him alone in the boundless darkness, and Zhang Tao struggled desperately in the darkness.

"Ahh

The fourth uncle handed over a warm towel and asked Zhang Tao to wipe his face: "Have a nightmare again?" ”

Zhang Tao didn't pay attention to the fourth uncle, and staggered to the front of the Eight Immortals table and sat down: "Where's the wine?" Bring me the wine. ”

The fourth uncle said softly: "Young master, don't drink yet, the guests are here, and they have been waiting in the living room for a long time." ”

"Guests? Who is here, is it Harukawa or surnamed Huang? Zhang Tao said with a big grin, "Didn't I tell you, I will accept the gift, just say that I am recuperating at home now, and no one will see me!" He waved his hand impatiently, "Go and bring me the wine." ”

"Young master, it's not them, you'll know when you see them." The fourth uncle said.

Zhang Tao knew that the fourth uncle had never deceived himself, since he was letting himself see, let's see him.

Before I entered the hall, I heard a loud voice shouting in the room: "I've never seen anything like this!" I'll tell you, but I can inquire about the four or six cities in old Beijing, who dares to send bullets to my grandfather? When he was going to be in the former Qing Dynasty, he would not cut off his head. ”

Zhang Tao smiled and said to the fourth uncle behind him: "This is the fifth master, right?" It's mysterious. ”

The fourth uncle breathed a sigh of relief, since he was discharged from the hospital, he hadn't seen Zhang Tao smile, it seems that Zhang Gui's method really works.

"Hehe, Fifth Master Le, don't come to harm?" Zhang Tao walked into the living room and arched his hand to Le Wuye.

"Ouch! It's Senator Zhang, didn't you say that you went out and came back so soon? "Le Wuye is wearing a long shirt, with a melon skin hat on his head, about 50 years old, with a medium build, with two mustaches, and braids on his head, which is shiny and shiny, not very long. Seeing Zhang Tao staring at his braids, Le Wuye said with a smile: "The emperors are all emperors of the former Qing Dynasty, and if you don't keep the rules, you will have to restore the rules of the former Qing Dynasty one day, I am the first step, you don't know, maybe you will have to keep this braid one day." I entered the customs from Beijing all the way, but for this day, I want to ...... when I was in the Qing Dynasty."

Zhang Tao said coldly: "In the Qing Dynasty, there was no less land for foreigners, right? ”

"That's also stronger than the Republic of China! If it weren't for Zhang Huzi's troops not firing a shot, the emperor would not have been able to return to this land of Longxing so smoothly. This time it really choked Zhang Tao speechlessly.

Zhang Tao smiled awkwardly, took a sip of water and asked, "Fifth Master Le, what happened?" ”

"What's the matter? Nothing! Fifth Master Le took a sip of tea.

Zhang Gui has a lot of dealings with Le Wuye, signing a lease and collecting rent is Zhang Gui's business, he smiled: "If it's okay, what are you doing in Honey Ditch?" ”

"This ......" Le Wuye's eyes rolled, "You don't play antiques, you don't know, good things are buried in poor ravines." It turns out that there is a Zhang Siye in the Liuli Factory, who ran to the countryside of Baoding, and guess what? Received a broken jar of pickled pickles from an old farmer, and came back to give a look to the connoisseurs, daring to love is something in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, and a big mansion was built in a few days! Ooh! That house is built so beautifully...... "Fifth Master Le is still talking in the vernacular, Zhang Tao is not too open in his heart, listening to his endless sentences, he said coldly: "Does Fifth Master Le regard me as a friend?" ”

Le Wuye was stunned when he heard this: "What did Senator Zhang say, if I have a friend on Bindao, it has to be you, right?" ”

"Huh!" Zhang Tao took a sip of tea with a smile, "Fifth Master Le, tell me what's going on with the shops on East Asia Road?" ”

As soon as Fifth Master Le heard this, he was stunned and sighed: "Alas, when did Fifth Master Le suffer this loss?" Speaking of which, I am still responsible for this catastrophe. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Tao bent over, "Tell me!" Tell me about it! ”

It turned out that half a month ago, when the Nisman Trading Company opened, Huang Gongzi sent invitations everywhere on behalf of Okada.

The city is not big, there are a few businesses with a face, usually the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they get together again from time to time, if anyone has a big or small affair, such as catching up with the purchase of cash is not enough or something, it is not a new thing for everyone to borrow a little help.

I heard that a new trading company had been opened, which was still opened by the Japanese, and it was an invitation sent by the red-red and purple Captain Huang himself, so everyone didn't think much about it, and put on decent clothes and came to the Riman trading company at the head of the Wuli River bridge before the auspicious time.

But once I got here, it didn't feel right. This trading company dares to sell everything: clothes, materials, pots and pans, needles and threads, shoes and hats, there is no common goods on the street that this one does not sell. That's not all, it's just opened, and everything is cheaper than the price on the market now. Everyone didn't say anything, everyone knows that the Japanese are wealthy, and Hamashima does lack a department store.

After the firecrackers opened, Okada also prepared a banquet, saying that he wanted to meet his colleagues who knew Hamajima, and everyone happily followed, and the meal was very rich, and even the prawns and sea cucumbers came up.

Speaking of this, Le Wuye took a sip of tea and sighed: "It's my broken mouth, there is no door, if anyone has regret medicine, I will buy it as much as I want." ”

"And then?" Zhang Tao asked suspiciously.

"Then it's drinking!" Le Wuye shook his head depressedly, "At first, I looked like a dog, but when I drank it in the middle, Okada asked, what is the best place for you to do business on Hamashima?" My mouth is fast, and I opened my mouth to say, if you say that you are doing business, this island is the seven shops on Chongyang side of Gongrong Road. And guess what? At that time, he said, how much is the rent? I rented. Before I could react, I said, you rented us to drink the northwest wind? Before Okada could speak, Captain Huang quit first, saying that if we didn't rent the shop to the Nichiman Trading Company, we would undermine the goodwill between Nichiman. I said, this shop is not ours, it is Senator Zhang, even if you ask him to rent it, we have a lease in hand, and he can't rent it to you. Captain Huang seemed to have said something in his ear. Okada didn't squeak anymore, and when it came to this, he couldn't drink, so we quit and went back to the shop. Who knows, something happened at night, and five of the shopkeepers of the seven shops were arrested, saying that they were suspected of gangsters! I wondered, why does the Communist Party want so many people to do business? You can't open a shop in the woods! ”

"What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes...... Zhang Tao sneered, and then asked, "What about later?" ”

"Hey! Later, someone brought me several bullets and asked me if I wanted a shop or my life, I had to wait for you to come back and call the shots, right? He hid in the honey ditch. Fifth Master Le sighed again and again.

Zhang Tao smiled: "Then won't it be over if you vacate the shop for them?" ”

"Make room for those bunnies? Grandmother! Le Wuye's eyes widened, "No matter how bad the master is, he can't let that little cub scare him, in the year of Gengzi, the master hid the Boxers at home!" ”

Speaking of this, Le Wuye poured a sip of tea and said, "It's easy for you to come back now, look at this matter......"

"Humph!" Zhang Tao snorted coldly, "Calculated on my head?" Not bad...... I'm really going to know that Okada! ”

"That's a good dare!" Le Wuye sat on the chair in a big way, took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Tao with slanted eyes, and said with something in his words: "I said you can think about it, then Okada is Japanese, but I heard that you have a good relationship with the Japanese." ”

"Fifth Master Le, I'm a trader!" Zhang Tao lit a cigarette and said lukewarmly, "The person who can bring me benefits is to be communicated, if you want to cut off my financial route, then I'm sorry!" Today he can forcibly rent from you, and tomorrow he will have to think of buying it from me! ”

"Yes!" Le Wuye put down the teacup in his hand, "You can think of this layer, my heart is steady, I will also say a word to you, the golden shopkeeper of Datongjiang people has not gone far, and is waiting to listen to my letter!" What do you say, let's do! ”

"Okay, I want you two to open for business tomorrow, do you dare?" Zhang Tao smiled and looked directly into Le Wuye's eyes.

"If you dare to say this, I will dare to open a board to do business! Ye is really not afraid of those grandchildren! Fifth Master Le took out the gold pocket watch in his arms very conspicuously and glanced at it, "It's not too early, I still have to report to the North Korean brother, and I will also help you find the other ones to see if you are brave enough." ”

"Good!" Zhang Tao stood up, turned around and said, "Zhang Gui went with me and told a few shopkeepers that I, Zhang Tao, have returned to Bindao, and I will do business in a down-to-earth manner, and I will hold on when the sky falls!" ”

"Just wait for your words, then I will leave first!" Le Wuye didn't talk nonsense, stood up and turned around and left, Zhang Gui and Zhang Tao nodded and followed.

"Wait......" Zhang Tao said suddenly, "Let the 'mountain rabbit' drive my car to send you there!" ”

Looking at the Buick that was gone, Zhang Tao instructed without looking back: "Fourth uncle, you always go to the station police station and ask Wang Gang about something." ”

"Go to him?" The fourth uncle hesitated for a moment, "This is ...... eye"

"Well, this matter can only be found with him, the chief of the Manchurian Railway." Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes, "Just ask him a question, what is the relationship between Qingchuan and Okada!" ”

The next morning, sirens blared.

Dozens of police officers stormed Dongya Road and surrounded the four shops that had just opened.

Huang Gongzi's face wore the big handprint of Okada's reward, and he shouted menacingly: "The latest information, the shopkeepers of these four shops are all arrested!" ”

"You say that the Communist Party is the Communist Party?" A lazy voice sounded behind him, "I also said that you are a communist!" ”

As soon as Huang Gongzi turned around, he happened to see Zhang Tao coming out of Wanruixiang Silk Village.

Zhang Tao was wearing a black horse coat, black breeches, and black sunglasses, looking like a ruffian on the street. The fourth uncle and the "mountain rabbit" stood beside him, and when he spoke, two guards with other guys rushed out of each shop.

Huang Gongzi was stunned: "Big brother is also here, why did you go out shopping today?" How's your body well? "This guy's face has changed so quickly that he has changed to a smile in the blink of an eye.

"It's good or not!" Zhang Tao lit a cigarette, "If you get rid of my tenants today, you will have to demolish my house tomorrow." ”

"Big brother, did you misunderstand?" Huang Gongzi nodded and said, "This has nothing to do with you, isn't Taijun Okada going to rent this house?" I took the people away, and I didn't delay you in collecting the money. ”

"I can't even cover up as a landlord, so why will I be on Hamajima in the future?" Zhang Tao puffed on Huang Gongzi's face.

Huang Gongzi is now the deputy director and acting director of the police station, and he was sprayed with a face of smoke in front of dozens of subordinates, but his face was a little unbearable, and his face sank: "Senator Zhang, this director is performing official duties." ”

"Bullshit business!" Zhang Tao twitched it with a big mouth, and now Huang Gongzi's face was unbalanced, and there was obviously a big slap mark on the right side of his face, and Zhang Tao pouted and shouted, "Give your little cub a good face for a few days, I don't know what my surname is, right?" ”

"You! You! Do you dare to hit me? Huang Gongzi covered his face and pointed at Zhang Tao and shouted.

"You've already asked me this!" Zhang Tao said with a smile, "Remember to eat or not." ”

The surrounding people have surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, Huang Gongzi is difficult to ride a tiger, he is heartbroken, pulled out a pistol, and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, those who hinder the performance of official duties should be brought back." ”

The policeman with a spear in the back pulled the bolt of the gun "in a frenzy", and the guard yard here also pulled out the gun in his hand.

Zhang Tao glanced back, and the "mountain rabbit" ran out. A nursing home brought a chair to Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao helped his sunglasses and sat down, and said angrily: "Let's consume it today, see who consumes whom." As he spoke, he looked at Huang Gongzi and pointed to his head, "It's kind of shooting here!" ”

The "mountain rabbit" ran to the back of the house, started the car that had been parked there a long time ago, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed to the door of the military police headquarters, and if it was another car, the soldiers at the door would definitely have to interrogate and interrogate, but Senator Zhang's car conspicuously affixed to the Japanese army's pass and the Japanese flag was still hung, and the sentry did not move at all.

They didn't move, and as soon as the car door opened, the "mountain rabbit" ran out with a rolling belt, shouting as he rushed in: "Qingchuan Taijun! Tae-kun Harukawa! ”

Two Japanese soldiers hurriedly caught up with the "mountain rabbit": "Yours, whatever, no one comes out to pick it up, and you can't go in." A Japanese soldier scolded.

"Taijun, I want to see Dataijun Qingchuan, I'm going to fight!" "Mountain Rabbit" was full of panicked looks on his face that his house was on fire, and after speaking, he shouted to the building: "Qingchuan Taijun! Tae-kun Harukawa! ”

At the door, an officer on duty inside came out with a few ghost soldiers, and the officer looked the "mountain rabbit" up and down: "This is Zhang Tao's car, who are you?" ”

"Taijun, I'm Senator Zhang's driver, something happened! I'm going to see Harukawa Taijun soon, or it'll be too late. "Mountain Rabbit" nodded and said.

"Okay, you're waiting a minute, I'm calling." The devil officer walked back to the duty room, picked up the phone, and chattered in Japanese. After talking for a while, he lowered his head with his legs together and said "Hi", put down the phone and let two Japanese soldiers come over, got off the guy in the hands of the "mountain rabbit", and walked in with the "mountain rabbit".

Harukawa squinted at the "mountain rabbit" in the office: "You and I know, rabbit!" "Mountain rabbit" heart said this, why do I sound so awkward? He didn't care so much, continued his performance, and said in a hurry: "Taijun, I'm Senator Zhang's driver, go and take a look, Director Huang of the police station wants to arrest our owner." ”

"Nani?" Harukawa lifted his glasses, "Where is it?" What's going on? Say it quickly! ”

"Taijun, let's go quickly, maybe the gun will go off later, I'll tell you on the way, okay?" The "mountain rabbit" has already shown signs of restlessness.

"Okay, my assembly team, let's go!" Harukawa turned around, grabbed the command knife, and walked out of the office with the "mountain rabbit".

At this time, Zhang Tao was sitting on a chair and leisurely eating melon seeds, looking at Huang Gongzi, who was angry and helpless, and was in a hurry, and sneered: "What do you want?" Catch me or collapse me, if you have something to say, it's okay to get out! Zhang Tao looked like a scoundrel.

At this time, Zhang Tao's spare eyes saw his car driving at a gallop, followed by several motorcycles of Japanese soldiers. He could see it, but Huang Gongzi couldn't see it with his back to the road. Zhang Tao had an idea, stretched out his hand into his arms, and slowly stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Huang Gongzi hurriedly pointed the pistol at Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao was not afraid, and slowly took out the cigarette case from his arms.

When Qingchuan got out of the car, he happened to see Huang Gongzi pointing a gun at Zhang Tao, who was carrying a box of "three-five" cigarettes in his hand, and his face suddenly sank.

"What's going on?" Harukawa shouted.

Huang Gongzi looked back, it was Qingchuan with a blue face, and then looked at his subordinates, who had been surrounded by a team of Japanese soldiers, and hurriedly wiped his sweat and saluted: "Report to Taijun, the police station is being ordered to arrest the communists." ”

Qingchuan laughed angrily: "Tonggong is here?" I don't know! Whose order are you, Okada-kun's order, right? ”

Huang Gongzi flickered in his heart, and said in his heart that this is bad, Okada and Qingchuan have always looked at each other unpleasantly, looking at the "mountain rabbit" standing behind Qingchuan, knowing that he was letting Zhang Tao calculate. He opened his mouth and didn't dare to squeak, and put the gun away.

Zhang Tao didn't give up this time: "Director Huang, since Qingchuan Taijun is here, let's make it clear today, which royal law of Manchukuo did I violate?" ”

Huang Gongzi said inwardly: "These shopkeepers of yours are all in common. ”

"Whoever I rent the house to, whoever is in the same household!" Zhang Tao spat out a smoke ring, smiled at Qingchuan and said, "I listen to what this means, I am a communist?" Qingchuan Taijun, we have to explain this, I can't afford to buckle the big hat of the Communist Party! Zhang Tao put his feet on the chair and slammed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground.

"This ......" Qingchuan glared at Huang Gongzi angrily, "Don't Zhang Jun misunderstand, I'll deal with it." With that, he withdrew with the police and Japanese soldiers. Huang Gongzi took advantage of Qingchuan's inattention, called a confidant policeman, whispered a few words, and the policeman ran out quickly.

Zhang Tao snorted softly at their backs, turned around and returned to Le Wuye's antique shop, Le Wuye was drinking tea with a few other people in his shop, and when he saw Zhang Tao coming in, he stood up with a smile: "Old, what am I talking about?" This surnamed Huang saw our Senator Zhang, and he was dumb for a while. How's that, I'm right? ”

Those people also stood up one after another, this one said that Zhang Tao had a big face, and the other said that Huang Gongzi deserved to be beaten. Zhang Tao arched his hand: "Boss Ma, Boss Liu, Boss Jin, and Fifth Master Le, in order to save Zhang's face on Bindao, but he suffered a lot, and everyone will do business with one mind in the future, and leave the rest to me." ”

A middle-aged man with small eyes and a top hat arched his hand at Zhang Tao: "I heard that you were injured, we have prepared some gifts, not as a tribute." As he spoke, he picked up an open wooden box from the table behind him, and a Korean ginseng lay quietly inside.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Tao said with a smile, "The courtesy is heavy, the courtesy is heavy." He turned around and asked the fourth uncle to put it away.

When everyone saw that Zhang Tao accepted the gift, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that in a short time, Zhang Tao will definitely cover himself, and there can be no trouble in business.

Zhang Tao said with a smile: "I won't delay everyone to do business, I'll go first, something squeaks!" ”

"I really have something here, Boss Fu and Boss Lin over there......" Just when Zhang Tao kicked in and out of the door, Le Wuye opened his mouth, and before he could finish speaking, he was pulled by Boss Ma and Boss Jin behind him. Zhang Tao stopped and turned around: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"It's okay, it's really okay!" Le Wuye immediately changed to a hippie smile.

"Oh, tell them, let's open now, there's no more trouble!" Zhang Tao saw that several people were busy agreeing, turned around and walked out.

"Young master, you cleaned up the guy surnamed Huang a little bit more ruthlessly today, right?" The fourth uncle asked suspiciously in the car.

"Not ruthless, not ruthless." Zhang Tao shook his head, "This kind of person, you have to clean him up, or you will have itchy skin." ”

"This man belongs to the pug, you ignore him, he always barks at you, go up and kick twice to make sure that there will be no sound." "Mountain Rabbit" said approvingly, as he drove the car.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao and the fourth uncle both laughed, and the fourth uncle nodded: "Don't say it, it's really like this, the words of 'mountain rabbit' are not rough." ”

I entered the Senate with a grin, and Harukawa's office was bustling.

The green tendons on Okada's neck were tensed, and he was patting the table with Harukawa with red eyes and shouting in Japanese: "Harukawa, you are Japanese, not a pig in China, this is the land we got through a bloody battle, and the best place should belong to the Japanese!" ”

Harukawa also shouted without showing weakness: "Okada-kun, don't forget that you are not a Nakasa of the Kwantung Army now, but a merchant, and you cannot completely conquer the land under our feet by force alone. I must maintain an order, an order that is in the interests of the Empire! ”

"Order, ......hum," Okada sneered, "That's just an excuse for incompetent Imperial soldiers, you coward!" ”

"Okada!" Harukawa, who is called a coward, is really angry, "I remind you, this is a city in Manchuria, not your army, and the empire will not allow anyone to do whatever he wants!" ”

"Good! Good! Okada glared at Harukawa viciously, "If you don't help, I'll use my own way to solve this matter!" ”

Saying that, Okada turned around and left, and Huang Gongzi, who was stunned on the side, finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Qingchuan Taijun, I'll send it off." ”

"What are you going to give when everyone is gone?" Qingchuan said angrily, and then sat down in his chair, "Huang Jun, my reminder, offending Zhang Tao is equivalent to offending all businessmen, maybe they will sell their goods to the Communist Party, you understand?" ”

"Understood, understood. Taijun is wise! Huang Gongzi nodded hurriedly.

"And ......" Harukawa looked at Huang Gongzi and gritted his teeth and said, "You should know that the captain of the gendarmerie in Hamashima is Harukawa Jiro, not Yuta Okada!" Seeing Huang Gongzi's pale face and cold sweat after hearing this, Qingchuan exhaled with satisfaction.

Seeing that Qingchuan's face softened, Huang Gongzi immediately knelt on the ground: "Qingchuan Taijun, don't get me wrong, I listen to you for everything!" This time it was Taikun Okada who forced me to do it, and I will report everything to you next time, and I will never dare again. ”

Seeing Huang Gongzi's pitiful tearful appearance, Qingchuan walked out from behind the desk and helped Huang Gongzi with both hands: "Alas, I don't mean anything else, we are all working for His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor of Manchuria, pay attention next time, go back and rest now." ”

Huang Gongzi crawled out of Qingchuan's office in a row.
