Hunan Hall, Zeng Mingshan's residence.

"Knock knock!" Idle, Zeng Mingshan, who was reading in the room, heard a knock on the door, opened the door, saw two strangers standing at the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?!" ”

The short young man asked, "May I ask if Mr. Zeng Mingshan is here?!" ”

"I am!" Zeng Mingshan replied and asked, "What are you looking for me?!" ”

The short young man said, "Our boss wants to see you." ”

Zeng Mingshan frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry." I don't know your boss, please go back! After that, Zeng Mingshan was ready to close the door. The strong man next to the short young man stretched out his hand and pushed open the door that was about to close. The short young man put away the smile on his face and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zeng, don't toast or eat and drink, let's go with us obediently!" ”

Zeng Mingshan's face changed several times, and he said, "You wait for me here, I'll go change my clothes." With that, Zeng Mingshan turned around and walked into the room. After seven or eight minutes, Zeng Mingshan walked out of the room, and was just about to close the door, when the second stunned man ran to Zeng Mingshan's side panting with something, and said, "Master, are you going out?!" ”

Zeng Mingshan's eyes glanced at the two strangers standing on the side, pretended to be indifferent to the two of them, and said, "I'll go out for a while and come back immediately." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"Yes!" The second stunned answered, watched the back of the three people leaving, hesitated, put the things into the room, and then ran out of the hall, called a tricycle, and rushed to the police station.

Half an hour later, a black sedan stopped at the door of the Yongtai Tea House. After the car stopped, Zeng Mingshan got out of the car and followed the two young men into the teahouse. At this time, except for a middle-aged man with a small hair combed sitting at the table near the stage, who was drinking tea, the other tables around the whole teahouse were empty. Zeng Mingshan was brought to the side of the middle-aged man by two people. The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and waved the two young men away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, the journey has been hard, please sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

Zeng Mingshan chuckled, sat down, picked up the bowl on the table, picked up the lid and flicked the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of water, and said, "Sit and sit, and drink tea." If you send your men to forcibly bring me here, you can get straight to the point! I still have something to do, and I don't have time to go around in circles with you. ”

"Good!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really fast-talking. Then I'm not going around in circles. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yoshihiko Noda, and I am the assistant to the Minister of the Great Japanese Empire in Beiping, Fortress Millennium. We, the Great Japanese Empire, are very interested in the jade pendant that you have deposited in Pingde Auction House to be auctioned. ”

Zeng Mingshan said lightly: "Since you are interested in that jade pendant, what are you looking for me, why don't you just bring money to the auction house to bid?!" ”

"Mr. Zeng, don't you understand what I mean?!" Yoshihiko Noda looked at Zeng Mingshan with a smile and said, "Your Excellency has not heard of 'the husband is not guilty of his crimes.'" 'Is that the case?!' That jade pendant is a disaster for you. With the strength of our great empire, as long as you hand over the jade pendant to us, we guarantee that you and your family will not have any trouble in the future, and we can also give you the glory and wealth you want. ”

Zeng Mingshan chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Noda, I think you must have been in China for a long time, right?!" Seeing Noda Yoshihiko nodding, Zeng Mingshan continued: "Although you know about us in China, you don't know about our Zeng family. I appreciate Your Excellency's kindness. If you're really interested in that jade pendant, take the money and bid at the auction house! Saying that, Zeng Mingshan stood up and said, "I still have something to do, go first." With that, Zeng Mingshan turned around and walked outside the teahouse.

"Mr. Zeng, isn't it too shameful for you to walk like this?!" Zeng Mingshan had just taken two steps when Yoshihiko Noda's voice rang out, and then he saw the people standing around him pulling out their pistols and pointing at Zeng Mingshan.

Zeng Mingshan turned around and asked, "Your Excellency is not afraid of losing face if you do this?!" ”

Yoshihiko Noda stroked his hair, walked in front of Zeng Mingshan with a smile, looked at Zeng Mingshan back and forth several times from top to bottom, and said, "Mr. Zeng, I'm afraid you misunderstood me." There is an old Chinese saying that says, 'Those who know the times are handsome.' A person of great talent like Mr. Zeng must understand the meaning of this sentence. I give you three days to think about it. I hope that in three days Your Excellency will give me a satisfactory answer. ”

Zeng Mingshan looked at Yoshihiko Noda, snorted lightly, and left quickly. Seeing Zeng Mingshan's departing back, a murderous aura flashed from Noda Yoshihiko's eyes. Yoshihiko Noda said coldly: "Keep an eye on him, if he wants to leave Beiping, arrest him immediately." ”

"Hey!" The subordinate answered, and quickly followed out of the teahouse.

Walking out of the teahouse, Zeng Mingshan unconsciously stopped, turned his head to look at the teahouse behind him, at this time a gust of wind blew, Zeng Mingshan couldn't help but shiver, only to know that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat unconsciously. With a light breath, Zeng Mingshan calmed down, walked to the side of the road, and shouted, "Rickshaw!" ”

Hearing the shout, the rickshaw driver pulled the rickshaw and ran to Zeng Mingshan and stopped. Zeng Mingshan got into the rickshaw and said, "Hunan Hall." ”

"Okay! Sir, please sit tight! The driver reminded him and ran away with the rickshaw.

After about half an hour, Zeng Mingshan returned to the Hunan Hall. When he came back from the police station, Zeng Mingshan, who had been waiting at the door, immediately greeted Zeng Mingshan when he saw the rickshaw getting down, and asked, "Master, are you back?!" Are you alright?! ”

Zeng Mingshan smiled and said, "I'm fine!" After that, Zeng Mingshan took out the money and handed it to the rickshaw driver, and walked into the hall with a stunned man. Back in the room, after Zeng Mingshan sat down, he handed Zeng Mingshan a cup of tea and said, "Master, I see that you have a sad face, is something wrong?!" ”

Zeng Mingshan sighed and said, "Second stunned, I should have listened to you at the beginning, Beiping is really a place of right and wrong!" ”

The second stunned man was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, if we don't sell our things, let's pack up our things and go home!" ”

"Go home?!" Zeng Mingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Whether we can go home now is no longer up to us. ”

The second stunned man rolled his eyes, cautiously walked to Zeng Mingshan's side, and said softly: "Master, I saw that the foreigner manager in the auction house that day seemed to be very interested in our jade pendant. Why don't we find an excuse to sell the jade pendant to a foreigner. Although I made a little less, it is more important than anything else to keep my life! ”

Zeng Mingshan pondered for a while, and said lightly: "This is not a bad way. After hesitating for a while, Zeng Mingshan came back to his senses and said to the second stunned: "You go and order a few dishes, and accompany me for a good drink at noon." We'll talk about it in the afternoon. ”

Leaving the library, Hong Yu picked up Yuan Hui, who had just finished class, and the two walked hand in hand to a small restaurant not far from the school, and found a place by the window to sit down. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to run to the side of Hong Yu and Yuan Hui, and asked while wiping the table with a cloth hanging on his shoulder, "What are you two eating?!" ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Hong Yu looked at Yuan Hui, and Yuan Hui said with a smile: "You decide!" I still have classes in the afternoon. ”

"Alright then!" Hong Yu turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "Bad fish fillet, sauced beef, fried seasonal vegetables, and then a fat cabbage sleeve soup, two bowls of rice." ”

"Okay! Wait, you two! The shopkeeper called down the dish ordered by Hong Yu and turned to leave.

After the shopkeeper left, Yuan Hui asked, "What arrangements do you have for the afternoon?!" ”

Hong Yu thought for a while and replied: "In the afternoon, I will go to the Yongtai ready-to-wear store to see what good materials there are, in previous years, my mother did it for my father, but now my mother is gone, I can't care about being a son." ”

"Ahem......" Yuan Hui couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's the same." Today you go and take a look, tomorrow afternoon I don't have a class, I'll accompany you to pick it up. ”

"Good!" Hong Yu answered, and just wanted to speak, the shopkeeper ran over with a tray, put the dishes on the table with a quick movement, put the chopsticks and spoons in front of Hong Yu and Yuan Hui respectively, and said: "Two, your dishes are all ready, please use them slowly!" After that, the shopkeeper took the tray and turned around and left.

At the same time, in a black sedan not far from the small restaurant, Michiko held a telescope and looked at Hong Yu and Yuan Hui who were eating not far away, and asked, "Akiyama-kun, have you been staring at the Hong family for the past few days, have you found anything?!" ”

Qiu Shan shook his head and said, "The people of the Hong family are really cunning. We've been following them for so long and haven't found anything out of the ordinary. But ......"

"But what?!" Michiko put down her binoculars and looked at Akiyama. Akiyama pondered for a while and said, "But I found that Hong Enping has a very close relationship with Tang Haitao, who drives a rickshaw dealership. In addition, from the Hong family's servants, I learned that Tang Haitao was the one who rescued the Hong family that night. ”

"Oh?!" Michiko's brows furrowed unconsciously. After thinking about it, Michiko came back to her senses, looked at Akiyama and said, "From now on, in addition to monitoring the Hong family, you will send someone to keep an eye on Tang Haitao for me." Maybe we can find the answer we need from Tang Haitao. ”

"Hey!" Akiyama then asked, "Miss Michiko, should we tell Yoshihiko Noda about Tang Haitao?!" ”

"No!" Michiko said categorically: "Don't tell him for the time being." Now tell him that it won't do us any good. ”……

After eating, Zeng Mingshan found an excuse, dismissed the two stunned, sat alone in the room, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and silently stunned. After weighing the pros and cons, Zeng Mingshan seemed to have made a lot of determination, and was just about to put the cup down when there was a knock on the door. Hearing the voice, Zeng Mingshan put down the cup, opened the door, and saw Jovis, the manager of Pingde Auction and Foreign Auction House standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Jovis, what kind of wind blew you here?!" ”
