Chapter 139: The Invitation
According to the price of gold in the Republic of China, 20 catties of gold cost 9,000 yuan, plus the manual cost of production, more than 10,000 yuan.
Although Qiu Peng's heart was dripping blood, he thought that he could soak Du Yuesheng's favorite daughter, no matter how much money he had, it would be worth it.
Besides, his son Ji Yunqing paid for it, what scruples did he have.
Daddy's meaning was to let himself take down Du Yuesheng's daughter as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to encroach on the Du family's property.
If Qiu Peng is rich, he may not pay too much attention to this matter, the key is that Du Yuesheng's daughter is a big beauty, and her otherworldly appearance is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Yuan Liuliu was puzzled and asked Qiu Peng, "Brother, what is Shou Tao?" Uncle Ji is having a birthday? If I'm not mistaken, this is Uncle Ji's 70th birthday, right? ”
"It's not my father, tomorrow is my father-in-law's fiftieth birthday, and the longevity peach is the birthday gift I prepared for my father-in-law. Haha, a longevity peach made of pure gold weighs twenty pounds. How's that, it's enough to pull the wind. Qiu Peng showed off, and at the same time issued a warning to Yuan Liuliu.
In terms of strength, your Tianjin Yuan family is not the opponent of our Shanghai Ji family, so let's die to Lao Tzu's women as soon as possible.
"Big brother is really arrogant, his shot is twenty catties of gold, no one in the world can be as domineering as you." How could Yuan Liuliu not hear that Qiu Peng was having something in his words, and praised him again and again.
There are also a lot of waves in my heart, the strength of the Ji family is extraordinary, twenty catties of gold, not to mention ten thousand oceans, I am afraid that my own son Yuan Wenhui may not have this kind of courage.
"Haha, it's generally average, it's all small money. Brother, you can order any women and wine tonight, brother, and I will pay for it. In the future, you will mess with my brother and me in Shanghai, and I will ensure that you will not suffer losses. Let Yuan Liuliu be embarrassed, Qiu Peng's self-confidence swelled rapidly.
In this way, the two of them called seven or eight girls to be comfortable all night.

Early the next morning, two more people from Wang Liang's courtyard who claimed to be the Green Gang came to Wang Liang's courtyard.
Wang Liang was just about to pull out a gun, but the other party said that he was sent by Du Yuesheng to deliver an invitation, and he wanted to invite himself to a banquet at the Du family mansion tonight to participate in Du Yuesheng's fiftieth birthday.
Wang Liang secretly admired Du Yuesheng's intelligence work, he was only appointed last night, but he didn't expect his people to find him today.
You must know that this kind of invitation is distributed at least a week in advance, and it is rare to send a post on the day of the banquet.
If it had been a week ago, when he was still in Baoding as a small acting battalion commander of the Northwest Army, Du Yuesheng would definitely not send a post to himself, and the reason for his post was naturally out of consideration for his identity.
The director of the Adjutant Office of the Special Guards is a celebrity who can speak next to Lao Jiang, and Du Yuesheng must have his own purpose.
But this is just right, Wang Liang couldn't think of a way to contact Du Yuesheng, but he didn't expect him to come to the door by himself, so he could take advantage of this banquet to ask about the batch of materials.
In fact, this is not the case, it is not that Du Yuesheng's intelligence work is done well, this is Lao Jiang's will.
Originally, Du Yuesheng's invitation also sent a copy to Jiang Guangtou, Du Yuesheng didn't care if Jiang Guangtou came, but in previous years, the old Jiang Ke would send a congratulatory gift, which made Du Yuesheng's face more face-saving.
The president of the Republic of China today gives congratulatory gifts on his birthday, how face-like is this?
Especially businessmen like Du Yuesheng care more about this. Matters related to his status and identity, he naturally didn't think about it more.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Guangtou's reply was to let Wang Liang, director of the Adjutant Office of the Special Guards, attend the banquet on his behalf, which made Du Yuesheng even more flattered.
The chairman of the committee is admiring his face, and he finally sent someone this time.
In fact, Jiang Guangtou's meaning is also very simple, that is, to take this opportunity to let the celebrities in Shanghai know Wang Liang, so that Wang Liang can carry out his work in the future.
Although Du Yuesheng is a gang boss, he has already shifted his focus to business over the years, so there are many acquaintances in the military and political circles.
"Okay, I'll go to the banquet on time." Wang Liang glanced at the invitation, the time was seven o'clock this evening, and the location was at the Du Family Mansion.
"Chief Wang, then let's retire first." I have to say that the quality of Du Yuesheng's subordinates is indeed much higher than that of Ji Yunqing's gangsters, and they speak very politely, which left a good impression on Wang Liang.
"Okay."
*************
Today, Wang Liang's plan is to go around the various military fortresses in Shanghai, according to the rehearsal of the Battle of Songhu that year, find out the omissions, and rectify them in time, so as not to be caught off guard by the Japanese army when the war breaks out.
borrowed a military jeep from Company Commander Wei, changed into a military uniform, and Wang Liang set off.
Of course, the rank of military uniform has been changed to lieutenant colonel, and the nameplate on the chest has also been changed.
As for the road, Wang Liang is a little unfamiliar, but this is not a problem. He bought a civilian map from a shop, although there was no specific sign of the military base, but Wang Liang didn't need a sign at all, just look for it according to the location.
The first destination, Wang Liang, chose the farthest Yangtze River Delta fortifications, which, according to history, was the biggest failure in the Battle of Songhu, and Wang Liang wanted to see how bad it was.
Wang Liang drove in the direction marked on the map, and it was about two and a half hours of driving before arriving at his destination.
On the way, the speed of the car has almost been up and down eighty miles, especially in the section of the road with few people, Wang Liang directly hid to one hundred miles, anyway, there were few cars during the Republic of China, and there was no traffic police law enforcement, so it was good to have a good hand, and he was still in a hurry.
"Sir, you're not from this unit, are you? Please show your ID. "This is a checkpoint, and a squad of troops is stationed here. A veteran with the rank of sergeant motioned for Wang Liang to slow down and stop, and stepped forward to ask.
"Okay." Wang Liang handed over his military ID card and special pass to the sergeant, and asked, "Squad leader, how many troops are stationed here?" ”
"I'm sorry, sir, but it's a military secret, and I don't have anything to say." The sergeant checked Wang Liang's documents and felt that Wang Liang's identity was fake.
If it's really the head of the Adjutant Division, there must always be a driver, right? In addition, there has not been a staff supervisor to inspect here for 800 years, and Wang Liang's appearance made the sergeant suspicious.
"Sir, I need to call my chief to check, please wait." The sergeant wanted to stabilize Wang Liang first and check with Shang Feng whether this director was true or not.
"Go ahead, hurry up." Wang Liang didn't care, it really couldn't be fake, so let him verify it. (To be continued.) )
