Listening to the words of the palace embroidery, Zhuang Jihua's heart was desolate, Peng Fentian did not escape the rebellion in the end, this sincere party member, a staunch Bolshevik, finally died in the holy place in his heart, which is undoubtedly a tragedy within a tragedy.

"Forget it, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you." It's been a long time since Gong Xiuhua has cried like this, and today I don't know why, there are still tears.

"Wu Ziniu didn't tell you?" Zhuang Jihua was a little strange again.

"Wu Ziniu only said that you went to Germany to study at the Berlin Military Academy, but he didn't think he would return to China." Gong Xiuhua explained.

"By the way, the Cultural Revolution, what's going on with 3,000 people guarding the bulls? Why haven't I heard you say that? Mei Yuntian interjected at the right time and asked.

"That will be a thing of the past, let's talk about it later." Zhuang Jihua didn't want to mention the past: "Zhang Wenbai did me a favor and found me a place to study in Germany." I took off my military uniform in Germany, set up a chemical factory, produced socks, made a small fortune, and then went to the United States. ”

Zhuang Jihua said very simple about his own affairs, Mei Yuntian and Lian Xiaosen didn't speak, Lian Xiaosen didn't know, but Mei Yuntian couldn't say it.

"I made a little money, I'm afraid not, when did you Zhuang Wenge become so modest." Gong Xiuhua obviously didn't believe it.

"Well," Zhuang Jihua hesitated, looking at the slender legs of the palace embroidery painting, the legs side by side were very attractive: "It's really socks, it's the kind you wear on your legs." ”

Gong Xiuhua waited for Zhuang Jihua a little shyly: "When did you become...., what did you say, stockings, you made them?" ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, and Mei Yuntian smiled: "I testify that he did it, and our family is his general agent in the western United States." But this is not a small fortune, the Cultural Revolution, you kid is too hypocritical. ”

"How can Zhang Zhizhong help you?" Gong Xiuhua smiled and pulled the topic back to before.

"Am I not in prison in Wuhan? When Yunfei and Ziniu rescued me, they also saved his brother-in-law Hong Junqi by the way, and he repaid my love. Zhuang Jihua said indifferently.

He Haizhou began to be afraid, he thought that this was another Huangpu student who was in Shanghai, and then he knew that this was not the case at all, what kind of person was Zhang Zhizhong, and in the past 1.28 Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Zhizhong led the Fifth Army to participate in the war. Now he was a little uneasy.

Zhuang Jihua saw his situation, but he didn't care about him, but continued: "Embroidery, come and help me, I plan to set up a factory in China, you owe the money here, I will pay it back for you." ”

Gong Xiuhua was silent, it was not that she didn't want to leave here, but this field belonged to Du Yuesheng's apprentice Jiang Zhaoming, if he didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to leave. But now, if anyone can save her, Zhuang Jihua is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"If you have any questions, leave it to me, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Jihua said softly.

"This is the field of Du Yuesheng's disciple Jiang Zhaoming." Gong Xiuhua whispered in embarrassment.

"It's okay, whether it's the underworld or the white society, you always have to be reasonable, borrow money to repay it, and it's just right." Although Du Yuesheng's name is big, Zhuang Jihua is still sure to persuade him that it is a big deal to pay more.

"But..." The palace embroidery painting is still resting.

Zhuang Jihua was puzzled, and He Haizhou solved the puzzle for her: "Mr. Zhuang, I'm afraid this matter is not very easy to handle, it's not a matter of money, Miss Ao Li Dai is the pillar of this field, she is leaving, it will affect the business here, so the field will not let Audrey go easily." ”

Zhuang Jihua understood now, he frowned and thought about it and asked, "Have you signed the contract?" ”

"Signed," Gong Xiuhua hesitated and said, "Eight years." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, this deed of sale is long enough, but you can still think of a way, no one will have a grudge against money.

Zhuang Jihua glanced at He Haizhou, and was about to chat with him about that Gu Gongzi, he was a person who held grudges, when a person in a windbreaker came across from him, and when he saw his figure, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Delly, Miss Delly, it's okay."

"What if something happens?" Zhuang Jihua said lazily.

The man looked at Zhuang Jihua, who stood up with a smile, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Divisional commander!" Teachers! You..., you're back, you're back! ”

As he spoke, he rushed over, took two steps and stopped, raised his hand to salute, but Zhuang Jihua had already greeted him, and gave a fierce bear hug: "Brute Niu, Brute Niu, you are really a brute bull!" ”

"Hehe, it can't be changed." Wu Ziniu smiled, but tears flowed from his eyes.

Zhuang Jihua also had tears in his eyes, the two looked at each other and smiled, Wu Ziniu wiped his tears: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I broke your rules." ”

"The meeting of old friends is a tear of joy." Zhuang Jihua also wiped his eyes: "Let me introduce you, these are my friends, Mei Yuntian, Lian Xiaosen, he is Yunfei's nephew, and this is the leader of the Four Seas Gang." ”

"Yunfei's nephew," Wu Ziniu didn't bother to ask about He Haizhou, but carefully looked at Lian Xiaosen.

Lian Xiaosen stood up a long time ago and hugged his fists at this moment: "Uncle Wu, the family teacher is on Zhao Xia Lingdong, and he is the senior brother of Uncle Song." ”

"Okay, Yunfei, that kid knows how happy he is." Wu Ziniu was very happy, and beckoned him to sit down, and then turned his head and asked Zhuang Jihua: "Commander, when did you make a friend like He Gang Master?" ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled and said: "I just met, and I am a new friend." ”

He Haizhou was a little embarrassed, he was both remorseful and secretly happy in his heart now, making a friend like Zhuang Jihua would be of great help to him in the future: "General Mengzhuang can afford it, I am Gao Pan." ”

"Ziniu, don't call me the division commander in the future, I'm not the division commander now, besides, my life was saved by you and Yunfei, we are brothers, let's call me the Cultural Revolution in the future." Sit down, sit down and talk. Zhuang Jihua greeted Wu Ziniu.

"That's not good, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, no matter what time it is, I will be your adjutant." Wu Ziniu sat down at this time, but still shook his head and said, "Without you, I'm afraid my bones are cold, and I don't know where they rot anymore." Hmph, the principal is really, I want to listen to you, Xiao Yue instinctively entered the Northeast. ”

"Mr. Wu, the Cultural Revolution never mentioned his past to us, can you tell us about it?" Mei Yuntian asked before, but Zhuang Jihua never mentioned it, he only told Zhao Lingdong about his previous affairs, but Zhao Lingdong was also a tight-lipped person, and he did not leak the slightest.

"Shaoqing, you're here again." Zhuang Jihua hurriedly stopped it, and Wu Ziniu didn't dare to speak when he looked at Zhuang Jihua.

"Cultural Revolution, I've thought about it for a long time, some things need to be changed, don't you often say that plans can't catch up with changes? Some resources can be used, I want to go to Song Shibo, you won't let me, in fact, it is very beneficial for us to have these relationships, and I also have a relationship, maybe I can help you. ”

"What's your relationship?" Zhuang Jihuaqi, he is relatively clear about the situation of the Mei family, and he doesn't know what else has to do with it in China.

"Grandpa used to have a friend surnamed Song, he had three daughters studying in the United States, and his grandfather was taking care of him, and then his son also came, but he was no longer taken care of by his grandfather, and his daughter also recognized his grandfather as his godfather."

Zhuang Jihua understood at once, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, in the end, it was a family, the relationship was buried deep enough, originally his plan was for him to return to China alone and find another person in Shanghai, but Old Man Mei insisted on adding Mei Yuntian, and he didn't insist on it, because there is a person who knows the roots is much safer after all. But after thinking about it, I felt wrong: "Why didn't I hear Old Man Mei mention it?" ”

"Grandpa didn't want to mention it, he was very dissatisfied with his aunt Song Ailing and uncle Song Ziwen, and he was not satisfied with the principal who married your aunt, when she got married, grandpa also sent a telegram to stop it, and after it didn't work, he strictly ordered the family not to mention this family anymore, he didn't plan to recognize this family, only before we returned to China, he told me that I could go to them for help if I had something difficult, but let me easily not go to them." Mei Yuntian said in a light tone.

Zhuang Jihua suddenly became happy in his heart, now his things have taken a turn for the better, what is more effective than Song Meiling's pillow style?

"I said Shaoqing, let me say what is good about you, I am worried along the way, how to draw this circle with the principal, there is such a good relationship hidden in the sleeve." Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but complain.

Mei Yuntian didn't argue or explain, but persuaded Zhuang Jihua to come: "I want to know what other relationships you can use." ”

Before Zhuang Jihua could speak, Wu Ziniu spoke, he began to tell Zhuang Jihua's experience one by one from the Whampoa Military Academy, and then Mei Yuntian knew that Zhuang Jihua had done so many things in those years, why he was always worried that Chiang Kai-shek would not offend him, he thought that Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek were just a little trouble.

Mei Yuntian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I said the Cultural Revolution, if you didn't leave at the beginning, it is estimated that the worst is now the commander of the group army, and the provincial chairman and the members of the Central Committee are not a problem, you actually gave up like this, you can really see it." ”

"No way," Zhuang Jihua also smiled bitterly: "I don't want to go to suppress the Communist Party, and I can't shoot at them in Wushan, so I have to go to the side to cool off." ”

Several people couldn't help laughing, their smiles were a little bitter, He Haizhou looked at these people like a group of monsters, what kind of people are these, they can reach out to get the wealth and glory that ordinary people want, but they don't bother to stretch out this hand, and they don't care about it, if they want to replace him, I'm afraid that a few rings of the head will go down, look at the few people who are smiling bitterly, he feels that he is an outlier in this pile of people, and he feels that he has to go in a hurry.

So he stood up: "General Zhuang, there are many offenses in today's matter, and I still have some problems, so I will leave first, and I will invite you to drink again." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't keep it, just nodded with a smile and said something about the scene: "Okay, let's drink it again." ”

After He Haizhou's back disappeared, Wu Ziniu asked, "Division commander, what's going on with this guy?" ”

This guy told him exactly what had just happened, and then asked, "What kind of gang is the Four Seas Gang?" ”

"In Shanghai, this is a small gang, compared to the Qinghong Gang, it is a small gang, mainly relying on water to eat, the gang is not poor or rich, it is not a big deal." Wu Ziniu was a little disdainful.

"Eat by water?" Zhuang Jihua and Mei Yuntian exchanged a look: "How to eat?" ”

"There are more than a dozen big ships in the gang to transport goods, and they also provide bodyguards for people, and they are still relatively comfortable on the water, and from here to Nanjing and Wuhan, the water bandits along the way have to sell their face." Wu Ziniu knew that Zhuang Jihua must have a purpose in asking these questions.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, and said in his heart that this meal was probably inevitable.

"Uncle Wu, do you know where Uncle Shi is?" Lian Xiaosen finally found an opportunity to interject.

"He opened a grocery store in the Public Concession. Every time I drink with him, I have to talk about the teacher, but he..."Wu Ziniu looked at Zhuang Jihua and said: "He is more silent, his mind is heavier, he doesn't drink, and he can't kick a fart with three kicks." ”

"He's miserable." Zhuang Jihua understands Song Yunfei very well, this is a very stubborn person, once he is determined, he will never look back.

"Do you know who Yunfei's wife is?" Wu Ziniu asked Zhuang Jihua with a strange expression.

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, and then a somewhat unruly figure came to mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "Xiaoxiu, is it?"

Wu Ziniu nodded: "We were in Shanghai not long after Xiaoxiu came from Wuhan, and they got married last spring. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help it: "Let's go, let's go see them." ”

"Now?" Wu Ziniu looked at the watch in his hand, it was already late: "Let's go again tomorrow." ”

Only then did Zhuang Jihua notice that it had passed eleven o'clock unconsciously: "Ziniu, do you know where Mr. Zhang Jingjiang lives?" ”

"I know, it's at No. 47 Ma Sinan Road, French Concession." Wu Ziniu replied casually, this is his jurisdiction, hesitating about the relationship between Zhang Jingjiang and Zhuang Jihua, he is very concerned about the situation of the Zhang family.

"It's another one that doesn't take much effort." Mei Yuntian said with a smile.

"With Uncle Wu, we are not blind in Shanghai." Lian Xiaosen also smiled: "Aren't we still going to buy a house?" Uncle Wu can just point out. ”

"Well, yes, if Ziniu is free tomorrow, you can take them around and see if there is a house, rent or buy." Today's trip is so worthwhile, two old friends, God is taking care of me, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but think of Liu Yinshu again.

"Ziniu, in the past few years, do you know the news of Yin Shu?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

Wu Ziniu shook his head: "No, we have been in Shanghai." ”

Zhuang Jihua was very disappointed, but Wu Ziniu suddenly looked left and right and lowered his voice and said, "But I know the news of Director Deng Yanda." ”

Zhuang Jihua's heart tightened: "What? What's wrong with him? ”

At the beginning of in Germany, Deng Yanda told him that he wanted to set up a third party, a third party between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and pulled Zhuang Jihua to join his party, Zhuang Jihua refused, but when he learned that he was going to return to China, he tried his best to delay him for eight months, but in the end Deng Yanda left, and he has never heard from him again.

Zhuang Jihua knew that if Chiang Kai-shek caught Deng Yanda, he would definitely kill him, and he also told Deng Yanda about this, but he only believed it for four points at most. Wu Ziniu is the Concession Inspector but mentioned Deng Yanda, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but worry about her safety.

"Nanjing sent someone to Shanghai to arrest him, and it is said that a traitor has been developed within the third party, just waiting for Deng Yanda to show up." Wu Ziniu whispered.

"How do you know?" Zhuang Jihua is a little strange, this kind of thing is very confidential, how could Wu Ziniu know.

"Who do you guess was sent to arrest Deng Yanda?" Wu Ziniu deliberately sold an official, Zhuang Jihua knew that he was an old acquaintance again, but he couldn't think of who it would be.

"Wang Xiaoshan." Wu Ziniu smiled, and Zhuang Jihua also smiled helplessly, the smile was so bitter.

"Ziniu, if there is any news of Director Deng, tell me immediately." Zhuang Jihua's expression was very serious.

Wu Ziniu was slightly stunned: "Commander, do you still want to save him?" When I was in Wuhan...."

"We have already talked about Wuhan in Germany," Zhuang Jihua cut off his words: "Too much blood has been shed, and if we can shed a little less, it can be regarded as reserving a little vitality for the country." ”

Wu Ziniu looked at Zhuang Jihua and was very dissatisfied, but finally nodded and agreed.

"Do you have a relationship with this owner?" Zhuang Jihua asked: "The deed of sale of the embroidered painting is still in his hand, and I want to talk to him." ”

"The boss is Du Yuesheng's disciple, my face is not enough, otherwise I would have redeemed her body a long time ago, but someone estimates that it can." Wu Ziniu shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang Jingjiang, let him come forward to talk to Du Yuesheng, then everything is fine." ”

Zhuang Jihua thought for a while: "Tomorrow morning, I will visit Mr. Jingjiang, Shaoqing, you will go to Citibank to have a look, if the money has not arrived, I will send a telegram to Rockefeller in my name, scold him, in the afternoon, we will go to see Yunfei together." ”

Wu Ziniu looked at Zhuang Jihua with some surprise, and suddenly smiled: "Master, it seems that you are really rich, and you immediately agreed to do business with us," and then said to Lian Xiaosen: "At the beginning, he pulled us into business, and promised me and your uncle that we would make one million per person in three years, and now that five years have passed, counting interest, there should be two million." ”

Wu Ziniu said happily, but he didn't expect Lian Xiaosen to look at him with pity, he was not only a little annoyed: "What's wrong with you?" Envy or jealousy? ”

Lian Xiaosen pouted: "Alas, Uncle Wu, you are really a man, you are completely deceived by him, two million?" ”

Wu Ziniu made a disappointed look, and said with his hands on his hands: "Then I have committed him, but at least knock out 100,000 yuan, Yunfei and I will each knock out 100,000 yuan, knock him out to the bone and suck the marrow, and dare to let me wait for five years, hum." ”

"Alas, what a Uncle Wu who has never seen the world, I hope Uncle Shi is not as stupid as you," Lian Xiaosen sighed: "If you want to change me, you have to knock him at least 200 million, and you don't want silver dollars, you want dollars, but even if it's just a hair on his thigh." ”

"Ahh Wu Ziniu was stunned for a moment.
