Chapter Twenty-Three: Blood Shadow
Originally, Shen Wuyan had always been very puzzled about his kidnapping, and he had doubted Shen Wuliang before, but he couldn't figure out some of the links, such as how Shen Wuliang knew that he was going to the old garden. [Ran^Text^Library] []γRan Library(7764)γ
"Yue'er has ever heard of a person named Lu Laoliu."
I suspected that this person was related to the Lu family before, and when I remembered this matter at this time, I just asked, but Yue'er didn't seem to have any impression until Shen Wuyan was about to push the door out.
"Lu Lao Liu doesn't know, but the young grandmother has a younger brother, about Lu Liu, I heard the old man say before, that Lu Liu has been in Yulong Street all the year round, and he is not a master to be messed with."
For Shen Wuyan, Yulong Street has always been a very longing party. Because it is the darkest place in Suzhou City, it is almost a place where there are three things, whether it is a person on the underworld or the white road.
Shen Wuyan inquired once before, and the description was similar to Causeway Bay, where he was fighting and killing all day long, collecting protection money, and raising a group of gangsters.
And the reason why he yearns for it is mostly because Shen Wuyan wants to catch some guys who can take advantage of it. After all, in this era, there is no Vajra that is not bad, and there is no water to walk on the snow without a trace.
With today's weak body, he naturally needs some equipment for self-defense.
The equipment of the ordinary blacksmith shop still does not meet the requirements in terms of practicality, so I can only find some in these mixed places, but unfortunately there has been no chance, so I gave up.
After that, Xu Wenchang sent a few more Franc machines, which were quite advanced in the Ming Dynasty, although they were discarded, but they were still not to be underestimated, because Shen Wuyan could make bullets, so he didn't think about Yulong Street.
It's just that because they have been busy with things in the shop, those heavy guys have been left in the hut next to the study and have not been bothered.
At this time, when he heard the name of this street again, Shen Wuyan was still enthusiastic: "Which hall is Lu Liu, and who is the eldest brother." β
Listening to Shen Wuyan's strange words, Yue'er couldn't help but glance at him, and then continued: "Lu Liu, this person is ruthless, I'm afraid he has also committed a lot of things over the years, the government has always wanted to get rid of these people, but because the movement is too big, and he is not sure that he will catch them all, so he will not do it." β
After all, it is a group of criminals, and the ability to encircle and suppress people in these years is still relatively poor, and even if the government dispatches all the officers and soldiers to arrest people, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and there will inevitably be retaliation.
This is actually not the key point, although those gangsters say that they bully and dominate the market, they never dare to take any action against the government, and they will consciously pay a part of the money every year, why should the government cut off the financial route.
"I haven't heard of any gangs over there, they are all retail investors with old backgrounds, who have either killed people or been in prison, and they are not good people anyway."
I can probably understand this phenomenon, because they all have old bottoms, so they are not easy to mess with, and they have always been disobedient, and once a gang appears, it will definitely be eliminated by these people.
"In other words, Lu Liu is working alone, does he have any hobbies?"
Yue'er blinked her eyes and whispered, "Men, it's either gambling or lustful, what else can there be." β
Shen Wuyan couldn't help laughing, this summary was reasonable, and then listened to Yue'er continue: "Lu Liu, this person is still strange, he is not lustful, he has married a wife so far, but he is a good gambler, I heard that he was hunted down and killed because of gambling money. β
Still talking here, there was no longer any waiting outside the door, Lu Shi sat on a chair in the lobby and shouted: "You don't take a look, this is the Shen family's property, what do you outsiders want to do?" β
She said this to Steward Liu, because Shen Wuyan ordered not to tell others the news of her return after she came back, so the Lu family still didn't know that Shen Wuyan was in the teahouse.
Steward Liu is not a master to be messed with, he sneered and said: "I heard that Wuyan and Wuyan have separated, since Wuyan invited me to be this housekeeper, then now he is not in charge of everything." β
As soon as this sentence came out, Shen Wuliang couldn't sit still, he gently patted Lu Shi's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "There is no news from the sixth child?" The money was sent to Yulong Street, and he didn't report a letter. β
Lu Shi looked at Steward Liu, who had no confidence yesterday, and suddenly dared to do it against himself today, and suddenly muttered in his heart, hearing Shen Wuliang say this, he was also puzzled: "It is said that he will not miss the sixth child, and we have all seen it, so there will be no problem." β
"Could it be?" Shen Wuliang looked at the calm Steward Liu and whispered, "Could it be that they are acting in an empty city plan?" Don't be careless and fall for this old fox. β
Steward Liu had worked in the Shen family restaurant for many years, and Shen Wuliang knew best how powerful this person was, and at this time, seeing the other party's tepid appearance, he was also a little worried in his heart.
Steward Liu has no worries, it was not good to say much when Shen Wuyan was not there before, but now that Shen Wuyan is here, how can Shen Wuliang be his opponent?
"I heard Yue'er say that the title deed of the Shen family restaurant is now in the hands of the second young master, and when he comes, he will discuss the matter of taking over the restaurant. Now that the restaurant has changed to a new day, it has almost caught up with the time when the master was alive, and it all depends on the second young master. β
Shen Wuliang was actually quite surprised by Shen Wuyan's talent, after such a change, the business of the Shen Family Restaurant gradually improved, if it could maintain this state, it would not be long before it could become a first-class restaurant.
Steward Liu's words still touched Shen Wuliang's heart, it was a helpless move to mortgage the deed of the Shen family restaurant to Shen Wuyan before, and now if he wants to come back, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Now Shen Wuyan is no longer alone, in addition to the shrewd maid Yue'er, there is also this old fox Liu in charge. And in the end, he even felt that the current Shen Wuyan was even more difficult than those two.
The situation in front of him was not bad, Shen Wuliang suddenly got up and said, "Uncle Liu, you have been in the Shen family for many years, and I have learned a lot from you over the years. As you know, I am a brother to Wuyan. Even if the family is separated, the bloodline is inseparable......"
Compared with the Lu family, Shen Wuliang has a great ability, that is, he can quickly understand a person's character, and then do what he likes, and move it with emotion and reason.
He understands that Steward Liu actually has feelings for the Shen family, especially for the two brothers of the Shen family, and he doesn't like them to have infighting in his heart, so saying this can resonate with Steward Liu.
"Now there is no news for half a month, and there is no leader in the teahouse restaurant for half a month. I, Shen Wuliang, have never been a greedy person, but I am afraid that the hard-earned silver and business will be ruined because of his negligence. β
Saying this, Shen Wuliang's face was sad, and he almost cried: "Now that Wuyan has not come back for half a month, Uncle Liu, you can still get some ideas, if it is a month, you haven't come back for half a year...... Or will it never come back? β
"Huh?" As soon as Shen Wuliang's voice fell, a light snort came from the backyard, and then he said: "Big brother hopes that I will never come back, but unfortunately your brother and I are blessed with a great life." β
As soon as Shen Wuyan's voice came, Lu Shi's face was already pale, and beads of sweat dripping from her head, since Shen Wuyan was not dead, then Lu Liu must have something to do.
Before everyone could react, Lu Shi pounced on Shen Wuyan, and she shouted loudly, "Lu Liu, what's wrong with him...... What did you do to Lu Liu, I'm just his younger brother. β
"Lu Liu?" Steward Liu's gaze fell on Shen Wuliang, who was iron-faced, and he said curiously: "As far as I know, Lu Liu is not a good thing, how can he get involved with the second young master?" β
Shen Wuliang naturally knew that there was a big deal in this, and he suddenly secretly scolded the Lu family for not being calm, and while answering that this Liu was not in the way, he went up and said that the Lu family pulled away from Shen Wuyan's side.
"A few days ago, I wrote that Lu Liu died in a fight with someone, so his mood has not been stable recently. β¦β¦ Don't blame your sister-in-law for being speechless, she can't help herself. β
This sentence is indeed meaningful, it is nothing more than pushing all the things that Lu Liu tied himself to the Lu family, I have to say that he is ruthless, and even his younger brother and wife can calculate casually.
"Sister-in-law can't help herself, I don't blame her, it's just that there are some things in the eldest brother, I'm afraid I want to talk to you clearly."
Saying this, Shen Wuyan turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Looking at the back of the leaving, Shen Wuliang knew that he was done today, and now he could only pray for this younger brother to be gracious, he handed over the almost crazy Lu family to the teahouse guys to take care of, and he followed Shen Wuyan's footsteps to the backyard.
In the study, the two sat opposite each other.
Shen Wuyan sneered at Shen Wuliang and said, "What I'm going to say now is all about things that have evidence, so you don't need to argue." β¦β¦ Before, you and your sister-in-law murdered your father, even if this matter is overturned, your father will not be resurrected after death, and you will not mention it because you also built a grave for him. β
After a pause, Shen Wuyan continued: "Later, you hired someone to go to the old garden to kill me, hehe. β
Suddenly, Shen Wuyan smiled again, and he said lightly: "Do you know what hehe means? Forget it, I don't think you know. β¦β¦ This time you want to kill me again, I've asked you, is money that important? β
Shen Wuliang lowered his head deeply and said in a low voice: "I know I'm sorry for you, what I've done these days has indeed passed, but you also know that your sister-in-law ......." β
"Do you want to push it to your wife?" Shen Wuyan sneered: "She is nothing more than a mean and wicked woman, but she is not like you who is an out-and-out Yue Buqun. β
"Does Yue Buqun know who it is? is a ...... Hypocrites without that thing. β
Without waiting for Shen Wuliang to speak, Shen Wuyan put away all his smiles, looked at Shen Wuliang deeply, and said, "How many benefits has Jixian Ju given you?" Not only did you sell my formula, you wanted my life. β
"You ......" Shen Wuliang raised his head suddenly, a pair of panicked eyes stared at Shen Wuyan, and suddenly lowered his head again, trembling uncontrollably, and said in a panic for a long time: "How did you know about this matter...... β
