Chapter 379: Inspector Zonghua came to pay a visit
Since he visited the dock at the South China Sports Club, and dropped cruel words to warn the Sports Club not to make trouble for himself, no one dared to disturb Chen Mu again.
Chen Mu taught Fang Zongji some basic skills, and on the other hand, he took into account the progress of the construction of the martial arts hall, and his life was smooth.
As for Huang Xing and others, after the construction site was on the right track, they also began to work on their own affairs, and it is said that they had to prepare for a new round of uprisings.
Wang Julou, Li Sanjiang and others also gradually gained a firm foothold in Hong Kong, Chen Mu asked them to contact Lin Sheng, Longji Chamber of Commerce, Hong Shuntang and Guangzhou Arsenal, all have Chen Mu's "shares", so every once in a while, Wang Julou's people crossed the river and helped Chen Mu collect money.
Of course, in addition to the expenses of the martial arts hall, most of the proceeds, Chen Mu funded the actions of Huang Xing and others.
Huang Xing, Du Xingwu and other brothers did not have much politeness to Chen Mu, these funds were simply a fire in the snow for them, and they had a crucial help for their revolutionary cause.
After more than a month of such stability, someone finally broke this quiet day.
Seeing that it was about to enter July, and the weather was also very hot, Chen Mu took pity on the workers, and asked the workers to go back to the shed at noon to rest, use fresh mulberry leaves, etc., boiled herbal tea, and let it cold to relieve the heat for the workers.
Chen Mu treats these workers very preferentially, so everyone works very hard, and it is estimated that it will be completed soon.
When he came back from the shed, Chen Mu was about to take a rest, but someone knocked on the door outside, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was black and red.
In addition to the two familiar guys beside him, there was also a middle-aged man in his early forties.
At this time, it was very hot, this man was wearing suspender shorts, British sandals underneath, a plaid melon skin hat on his head, and a civilized stick in his hand, looking like a character in a Western opera pictorial.
"Uncle, this is Inspector Lu Yunchen, and I came to see you today."
"Inspector Lu Yunchen?" Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him should be the chief Chinese inspector who Hei Guhong secretly befriended.
"Hello Detective, please come in and sit down."
After Chief Sergeant Han Yaqiao came to the door in person last time, Chen Mu expected that Inspector Zonghua would inevitably come, although more than a month had passed, he didn't expect to come after all.
Although Chen Mu didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to make enemies on all sides, whether it was Han Yaqiao or Lu Yunchen in front of him, if he couldn't offend, try not to offend.
is like Hana Bridge, although Chen Mu did not accept his wooing, but Han Yaqiao did not come to bother again, this result is really good for Chen Mu.
Black Guhong once said that Inspector Zonghua has a lot to do with the Tao, as long as he pays the "protection fee" on time, he can protect the business of many brothers and men, and it should be easier to talk.
Sure enough, this person smiled: "I heard that there is an uncle in the club who is very young, but I didn't expect to be so young, if it wasn't for the black bone red who brought me here, I thought it was a child who just came back from studying abroad!" ”
Chen Mu also smiled: "That's because the detective is very similar to Mr. Yang who returned from studying abroad, so everyone looks like a foreign student......"
This Lu Yunchen is dressed like this on a hot day, which is extremely important to demeanor and demeanor, after all, he has climbed from the bottom to get to the point where he is today, and he also wants to put gold on himself.
So no matter how he dresses or styles, he tries to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, and even his name is changed later.
Hearing Chen Mu's joking flattery, Lu Yunchen was also overjoyed, this silent praise hit his heart!
"Mr. Chen is really a talent, and he speaks well, no wonder he is so powerful, hahaha!"
Lu Yunchen smiled like this and walked into the house.
Chen Mu personally poured the tea, and when he saw that Hei Guhong and Lu Yunchen had drunk it, he sat down and asked, "The detective came here today, why did he come here?" ”
Lu Yunchen was not ambiguous, put down the teacup, and said to Chen Mu: "I heard that you went to the South China Sports Club some time ago?" ”
Chen Mu thought that Lu Yunchen, like Hana Bridge, came to lobby him, but he didn't expect it to be for the South China Sports Association, which was a little surprised.
"Yes, when you are a newcomer, you always have to take a look, contact your peers, and learn about the market......"
Chen Mu said it well, and Lu Yunchen also nodded, but the smile was gone.
"Hmm...... Black Bone Red is going to call you Uncle, since that's the case, then I have something to say. ”
Chen Mu raised his hand slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and Lu Yunchen spoke.
"The reason why this South China Sports Association can lead the group and unite the villagers is that in addition to the president Liang Yongxiang, who is quite popular, it also has the support of the police department......"
"At present, the society is stable, and I don't want my neighbors to run to gambling houses and tobacco houses, engage in sports, and exercise, which is also a good way to maintain social stability......
"But ......" Lu Yunchen said this, and looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu also knew that this person had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so he immediately spoke: "It's okay for the inspector to say it directly. ”
Lu Yunchen seemed a little embarrassed, but he continued to say it after all.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."
"There is a boxing match in a few days, and the sports club is invited to participate, but President Liang Yongxiang is not feeling well, so I want to ask Mr. Xiao Chen to make a move, which can be regarded as fighting for many villagers and neighbors, what do you think?"
"Boxing match?" Chen Mu was also a little stunned, he didn't expect this to happen.
"Yes."
"This matter should have been invited by the sports club, which is the most appropriate, but President Liang is bedridden, and the others also feel that they are not good enough, and they are not familiar with Mr. Xiao Chen, so they let me, the detective, come over......"
"How could President Liang be bedridden?" This Liang Yongxiang is a person who wants to save face, and he estimated that he couldn't pull his face down to invite Chen Mu, so he let Lu Yunchen come and move around.
But this is also a bit unreasonable, because Lu Yunchen, as the chief inspector, is in a high position, and it is too late for everyone to stammer, how can this Liang Yongxiang and the Sports Club be emotionally moved by Lu Yunchen to be a lobbyist?
Therefore, Chen Mu believes that Liang Yongxiang's bed stay is fake, and I am afraid that there are deeper reasons in it.
Lu Yunchen didn't hide it, and replied to Chen Mu: "Yes, last time Mr. Xiao Chen went to the sports club to worship the pier, President Liang was already a little uncomfortable, and then he ...... I was angry again, and I was dull for a while......"
"After a few days, it was rare to get better, and I was challenged by an Irish martial arts master, and I was seriously injured, so I was bedridden......"
"Irish martial arts masters?" Chen Mu didn't expect that foreigners would also go to the sports club to play in the gym.
"Isn't it...... Mr. Xiao Chen is not an outsider, I will tell you the origin of this directly, since the battle of the walled city, the British feel that they have no face, for fear that the people will not obey the discipline, so they invited some martial arts masters of the British Empire to come over. ”
"They plan to hold a series of fighting tournaments on Hong Kong Island, nominally to promote sportsmanship, but in fact to set an example to the people, to deter the martial artists of the people, and to stabilize their jurisdiction......"
"The sports club, as the leader of the no-line leader, is the first to bear the brunt, and the Irish fighting group has come to fight a few times, and the British have already celebrated several times......"
"In addition to the elites and masters of the British Isles, this fighting group also has strange people from other places, all of whom are strongmen and ruthless men collected by the British Empire all over the world, and the sports club can no longer support ......"
Huang Xing and others were busy making revolutions, Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang were fighting for territory again, and Chen Mu's news was a little blocked, but he didn't expect so many things to happen in just a short time.
This is also one of the consequences of Chen Mu's "visit to the pier".
Because he was not recognized by the sports association, the relevant news of martial arts would not be shared with Chen Mu, and he even intended to block the news from Chen Mu.
Of course, the reason why the British held martial arts matches was originally to intimidate the people and enhance their dominance and management, so they would also vigorously publicize it.
It's just that Chen Mu is focused on the construction of the venue, and he doesn't ask too much about these things.
In addition, Fang Zongji is at a critical juncture to lay the foundation, Chen Mu asked this kid to study and practice boxing behind closed doors, and teach him by word and deed, so naturally he will not pay too much attention to the news outside.
Chen Mu thought like this in his heart, maybe it had been a long time, and Lu Yunchen thought that Chen Mu was worried, so he was also anxious.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, I've heard that you are now the one with the highest martial arts, if you don't come forward to fight, these foreigners will only think that my China is all waste, and they will look down on us even more, and they don't know how to do it on our heads!"
Chen Mu also felt funny in his heart, and inevitably asked: "As a British-based detective, shouldn't the inspector be happy about such a thing?" ”
What Chen Mu said is actually not bad, the detective's responsibility is to eliminate violence and maintain social stability, and the British deter the warriors, which should be a good thing for the detective.
But Lu Yunchen's face became a little ugly.
"Mr. Xiao Chen doesn't have to be cynical, although I, Lu Yunchen, am the inspector of the British, but I still miss the villagers in my heart, you ask the black bone red, if I didn't stand on it, the walled city would not have been able to last until now, and it is even more impossible for the guys to find food with their fists and feet!"
"If Mr. Xiao Chen doesn't want to fight, just say it, why tease someone Lu!"
Chen Muben just teased, but he didn't expect Lu Yunchen to be really angry.
Although Lu Yunchen's face was ugly, Chen Mu didn't feel anything in his heart, because in his opinion, if Lu Yunchen didn't have a ghost in his heart, he didn't need to be in such a hurry.
If Hei Guhong and the other big guys don't give him benefits, whether Lu Yunchen will take care of the guys on the road is still a matter of two words.
It's not so much about caring for the villagers, but about taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people.
Chen Mu never wanted to speculate on others with malice, but he had seen too many such things along the way, so he didn't have too much good impression of people like Lu Yunchen, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything like that.
But in any case, the news brought by Lu Yunchen should be true, and Chen Mu ultimately has to consider this issue.
The British boxing match, do you want to fight or not?
