For Zhu Jinglun, Hou Jin's sudden arrival in Guangzhou was an accident, although he really wanted Hou to come to Guangzhou to help him, but Hou Jin did not come, and there was no Hou Jin in his plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Hou came in, so he revised the plan in a timely manner, if Hou Jin couldn't come, he planned to do something personally, since Hou came in, he planned to let Hou Jin do something, he knew that there were some things that Hou Jin would be more suitable to do than himself.

In Zhu Jinglun's impression, Hou Jin is a scumbag, ruthless, but fragile in his heart, he remembers that Hou Jin once dug out the heart of a British soldier, that was on the battlefield, he was using this cruelty to prove that he was not vulnerable, but the fact exposed his inner humility.

This kind of person dares to do anything!

But he didn't see Hou Jin when he came to Yuexianglou, and he didn't know where Hou Jin was, maybe he was happy in a girl's boudoir.

He wasn't in a hurry, he was going to take a look in the Moqin room.

Moqin's room is a little different from a few days ago, as an old girl, except that there is no girl to serve, her room is a little too luxurious, you can see more than one jewelry box on the dresser, see the brand new guqin, and change the gauze tent mattress.

Zhu Jinglun now knows that these are all given by others, but not by Pasha, but everything has something to do with Pashali, and those who hope to be able to tie up with Pashali hope that Pashali can love the house and Wu and feel their kindness. However, the bustard mother in the Yuexiang Building seemed to be unmoved, and she didn't even give the Moqin faction girl to serve, which made Fang Shan, who was listening to all this, very strange.

Zhu Jinglun didn't stay in Moqin's room for a long time, he didn't come to meet the girl, since Moqin had already regarded him as a person who tried to stammer through her like other businessmen and even officials, he fortunately pretended to be the end, he gave Moqin an ancient painting given by others, and then vaguely expressed his hope that Moqin could say good things about himself in front of Paxiali, and then walked out.

After that, he asked Sandianzi to find him a private room, and find a girl to play the piano and listen to music. He was alone, Fang Shan was sent away by him, and he confessed before entering the building, making Fang Shan pretend not to know him. To be honest, he didn't distrust Fang Shan, nor was he afraid that Fang Shan had a relationship with foreigners. It's just that the importance of what he wants to do is impossible for him to casually entrust to someone he just met.

After listening to the music for a while, a person walked in, it was Hou Jin. He was not surprised, because he was waiting for Hou Jin here. He knew that Hou Jin was waiting for him in a corner, and he would find it himself.

"Childe, this person is so unreasonable, he has to break in!"

Three jumpers followed in and apologized to Zhu Jinglun.

Hou Jin smiled directly at Zhu Jinglun and said: "Sure enough, it's Brother Zhu, I just saw something like you, and it's really you when I come here." ”

Zhu Jinglun also smiled: "It's Brother Hou, I haven't seen my demeanor for many days, and I don't want to see it here." ”

Hou Jin glared at the three jumpers who had been blocking him just now: "Do you see it, what are you still poking here?" ”

The three jumpers pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Zhu Jinglun: "This, this, son, do you see?" ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "Okay, you go out, this is my friend, I just happened to say something when I met." ”

Only then did the three jumpers leave.

Then Zhu Jinglun waved his hand and motioned for the girl who played the piano to go out, and gave two taels of silver.

After only Hou Jin and himself were left in the room, Zhu Jinglun spoke:

"Brother Hou, are you clear about the situation here?"

Hou Jin said: "It's almost. What the hell do you want me to do? ”

Zhu Jinglun didn't hide it at all: "I want you to help me run someone." ”

Hou Jin asked, "That Mr. Fang?" ”

Zhu Jinglun looked away: "It's not him, be a foreigner!" ”

"Foreigners?" Hou Jin was stunned and immediately said, "Ba ghost? ”

Pa Xia Li went in and out of Yuexiang Building, he naturally knew this kind of thing, Zhu Jinglun let him stay here for three days, let him stare at a person, but he didn't plan to deal with that person, and said that he was going to do it to a foreigner, Hou Jin immediately reflected that Zhu Jinglun wanted to do something to a foreigner.

Zhu Jinglun nodded: "That's right, it's a ghost!" ”

Hou Jin asked directly: "To live, to die?" ”

He said it happily, and a big man who had absolute influence on the city of Guangzhou was like reaching out to carry a chicken.

Zhu Jinglun was not so relaxed, and solemnly emphasized: "You have to live." Don't be too careless. There are guards around Ba Ghost at all times, and there are 500 soldiers in this vicinity, to say the least, who are constantly moving. If you can't catch it alive, it's okay to kill it, but you have to let people know that the ghost is alive. ”

Hou Jin said: "Don't worry, I will definitely get you a job." When do you say you want to do it? ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "The sooner the better." ”

He couldn't wait, the longer the time dragged on, the more he felt unsteady, especially the recent changes have been too much, first of all, Na Moqin noticed that he was interested in Pashali, and a fortune teller noticed that he was following Pashali, the ghost knew what he was doing, and was noticed by many well-intentioned people.

The two then discussed the details of the plan, and talked for more than two hours, until all the details were almost scrutinized, and then they parted.

Just walked out of the Yuexiang Building, Zhu Jinglun suddenly saw a figure, an acquaintance, Daniel Zhang, the housekeeper of the Zhang family.

I didn't want to do much, so I pretended not to see it, but the housekeeper saw him, so he could only arch his hand casually.

But the butler came.

"It's a coincidence, I met Mr.!"

Daniel Zhang walked up to greet him.

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "It's a coincidence. ”

Both of them said it skillfully, but they said it with different meanings.

Daniel Zhang said: "I also said that I would give birth to a post tomorrow, and I don't want to meet Mr. today." ”

"Next post?"

The so-called next post is generally to invite someone.

Sure enough, Daniel Zhang said: "My master is back, and I want to do a game to invite Mr. for a while." Today, I'm here to ask the young master to go back. ”

Zhang Pan, the young master of the Zhang family, hides in the Qinglou all the year round, and Zhu Jinglun has also heard of it, but he doesn't want it to be this Yuexiang Building. As for Zhang Qianshan, the eldest of the Zhang family, he was stationed in Nanxiong to prevent the Taiping Army from crossing Meiling from Jiangxi, and he actually returned to Guangzhou at this time. And he actually wanted to post to invite himself to the meeting, Zhu Jinglun couldn't help but calculate in his heart, this was another accident, it was very strange for Zhang Qianshan to come back at this time, and it was even more strange to invite himself.

Zhu Jinglun was tempted, but he didn't ask directly, starting with the young master of the Zhang family: "Your young master is in this building?" ”

Daniel Zhang sighed: "But isn't it." My young master borrowed a shop here, and it was easy for the master to go home, so he came to call. ”

The so-called borrowed shop is elegant, in fact, it is a long sleep in the green building, the borrowed shop is also dry and wet, borrowing the dry shop is only light overnight, not sleeping girl, wet shop is to let the girl accompany the night. Those who live in the girl's room for several months in a row are also called "special roundabouts", and this young master of the Zhang family obviously belongs to the latter.

Zhu Jinglun sighed along the lines: "Yes, your master is back, and the young master should naturally go home." But as far as I know, didn't Master Zhang lead the troops in Nanxiong, why did he come back now? ”

Zhang Qianshan was the commander of the Qing army, because the city of Guangzhou was occupied, Bai Gui had ordered in the name of the acting governor of Liangguang that the army of Liangguang was not mobilized, and the army of Guangdong and the Anglo-French army were in a strange state at this time, neither fighting nor peace. At the same time, the British and French forces have already moved north, and de jure the three countries are still at war, although the Qing army does not know much about international law, but it should also know that this is a delicate moment, and it is absolutely inappropriate to return to Guangzhou as a military attache at this time.

Daniel Zhang was an honest man, and said with a puzzled expression: "Yes, this is also strange, the old man has never returned home." Since he bought the house in Guangzhou, the master has never come back. I didn't want to be back yesterday. ”

Zhu Jinglun secretly thought to himself in his heart, this Qian Zong has not come back for several years, and obviously does not regard Guangzhou as his home, and he has to feast himself when he comes back at this time, which is definitely something. I just don't know if I noticed something.

"By the way, sir, since it was a coincidence, the villain will not be troubled. I don't know if Mr. will be free tomorrow, move to the mansion, and let my lord do his best to be a landlord. ”

Zhu Jinglun really didn't want to involve Zhang Qianshan at this time, this military attache was going back to Guangzhou at this time, and he had to give himself a banquet, either because he noticed something, or he just wanted to get involved with foreigners or the Guangzhou government, whether it was the former or the latter, Zhu Jinglun didn't want to get involved at this moment.

So he politely refused: "Master Zhang's good intentions are understood." It's just that there is a lot of business, and after this while, I will come to the door to bother. ”

Zhang Qianshan is a military attaché, it is said that he still has some cronies in his hands, not an ordinary military attaché, such a person can borrow strength sooner or later, Zhu Jinglun gave the other party a face, but not these days, he has to let him finish these things and say that it is not too late.

Daniel Zhang didn't entangle, only said some gossip, and the two left separately.

Zhu Jinglun didn't expect that the trouble would not end so easily, and early the next morning, Menzi came to spread the word, saying that there was a man and a woman at the yamen who asked to see Zhu Jinglun, and the post sent was from the Zhang family, and Zhu Jinglun was invited to the meeting tonight in the name of Zhang Qianshan.

Zhang Qianshan's tone was very kind, but Zhu Jinglun really didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he asked the men and women outside the door to go back to the door and tell them that they had been very busy recently, and they would definitely come to the door to make amends in a few days.

But Menzi came back and said that the men and women outside the door refused to leave if they didn't see Zhu Jinglun alive or dead.

Menzi is willing to run back and forth like this, and according to the convention, he also eats the door bag. The tone not only revealed the emotion of hoping that Zhu Jinglun would see it, it seemed that the Zhang family's door bag was quite generous.

Anyway, he can only go out and talk about it, anyway, he doesn't want to see Zhang Qianshan at this time.

Out of the door, I couldn't help but be surprised, the man was naturally Daniel Zhang, but as soon as the woman opened her mouth, Zhu Jinglun immediately heard it, he remembered clearly, it was the voice of the young grandmother of the Zhang family, Cuiyun, who had spoken outside the boudoir of the Zhang family that day, Zhu Jinglun's memory is not what it used to be, and he will not forget it, and he can distinguish it at once.

Suddenly there was trouble in my heart.
