PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

The wine and food have already been chosen, as soon as the people arrive, they will be served immediately, Zhao Guanhou introduced the two of them one by one, and sure enough, after Meng Siyuan heard that one of the two was a helper and the other was a sentry officer, he showed enthusiasm for Cao Zhongkun's attitude.

With his level, of course, Li Xiushan will not feel cold, and on the surface, it seems that the two of them are treated equally. But Li Xiushan was born in the rivers and lakes after all, and how vicious his eyes are to see people, he knows that Meng Siyuan still bets on Cao Zhongkun.

At this time, he and Cao Zhongkun couldn't dismantle the stage openly, otherwise even their own stage would collapse, so they had to help on the side. After three rounds of drinking, Li Xiushan said:

"Meng Dongjia, what happened to you, my Guanhou brother has already told me. Our army cannot directly intervene in local government affairs, especially since there are foreigners in our Jinmen, and if a problem is not good, the foreigners will say that some kind of martial artist interferes in politics, and there will be disputes. But don't worry, since my Guanhou brother promised to help you, I will definitely help him, and our Li family will help with this matter. ”

"That's right, we don't care about this on the surface, but in fact, it must be towards Meng Dongjia." Cao Zhongkun drank two glasses of wine, his face was red like a crab cover, as if he was drunk, patted the table and said: "Xiushan, let me say something today, how many people do you want to use, how many guns do you use, just say, I promise to approve them all, and I won't embarrass you." ”

He said as if Li Xiushan's daily use of military guns required his approval, but in fact, he, an empty gang with neither personnel power nor management power, could not help anything.

Li Xiushan couldn't expose his diorama clearly, so he had to respond vaguely, and secretly scolded Cao Zhongkun in his heart for being stupid and traitorous, not a good thing. Meng Siyuan didn't know the roots, but when the two of them were the same, they were very grateful.

Although he was a successful businessman, he did not have deep contacts with the military circles, at most he was on the Shandong side, and he knew some junior officers, but he had no contacts with the Jinmen side. Once he got the door of the two New Army officers, it would be of great benefit to both business and daily safety in the future, so he hurriedly took out two silver tickets from his body and handed them to Cao and Li

"When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare any gifts, which is a little meaning, not a tribute, and I hope the two adults will laugh and accept. If Meng can get back the heirloom this time, he will be grateful to the two of them. ”

"Meng Dongjia, what are you doing here? We are friends with Guanhou, so we treat you as friends, you give us this, do you look down on us? Li Xiushan deliberately sank his face and pushed the silver ticket forward, "If you get this hand, I don't care about this matter!" ”

Although Cao Zhongkun felt sorry for the silver, before saving face, he could only say, "That's right, if you give money, then we will leave." When we mobilize the army, we are also shouldering a great deal of responsibility, and we are rushing for the friendship of the crown and marquis, not money. Isn't it insulting that you treat us like the old army of those defense camps? ”

Meng Siyuan only thought that the two of them were really looking at Zhao Guanhou's face, so he had to accept the money, thanked him again and again, and finally asked: "You two, I don't know what you think about how to get the orb back?" I've asked a lot of people about this pawn ticket, and they said that even if I go to Beijing to sue the emperor, with this pawn ticket, I won't be able to win. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "That's true, with the pawn ticket, it is indeed difficult to win your lawsuit." But we are not a yamen, and no one has a lawsuit against them, Jianghu people, there are Jianghu people who are reasonable, they used this as a ticket to trap Meng Dongjia, I will also use this as a ticket to make a fuss with them. I have something on my hands in the past two days, and after these two days, I will go to Yuanfeng Pawnshop and redeem it! ”

Cao Zhongkun said: "Meng Dongjia, my Guanhou brother has taken a great risk for your business, you can't forget this friendship." In my opinion, today the four of us are brothers, and with us in the future, no one will dare to bully you. ”

Jin Guo does not engage in kowtowing, as long as you change your birthday post and write a Lan Pu, it will be considered a worship. Meng Siyuan was born in a study abroad and did not agree with this set of things. But I also feel that having this relationship is beneficial to my own business. Moreover, Zhao Guanhou's grace of broken fingers seems to be able to be repaid in this way.

It's just a simple writing of the Geng paste swap, and the so-called sworn worship is completed. Among the four, Cao Zhongkun is the longest, Meng Siyuan is second, and Zhao Guanhou is the last. Except for Cao Zhao, who has already changed posts with each other, there is no deep friendship between the others, but they are as close as siblings.

When he came out of the Zhuangyuan Building, it was already dark, and Li Xiushan had some understanding of Zhao Guanhou's actions, knowing that although this person was young, he had a lot of eyes, and it was not easy for him to calculate him. But no matter what, he finally got on Meng Siyuan's line and worshiped the brothers, as long as he got the jewel back, the two sides could be regarded as friends. With this relationship, if you borrow money from the Meng family in the future, you will be able to open your mouth, and your goal will almost be achieved.

He had the intention to take the two of them to a small class to spend the night, but Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I don't want to go to that place, but now...... Not the time. Besides, I don't see any good goods in it, so it's not interesting. ”

Cao Zhongkun smiled and quipped: "There are good goods." Miss Yang Cuiyu from Jingshi has arrived at Jinmen, I heard that she came with a nobleman in Beijing, if you have the ability to meet her, I am guaranteed to look better than Sister Hanzhi. I heard that how many Baylors in the capital are staring at her, but unfortunately, no one has done it. Such a woman will cost dozens of taels of silver when she sees her, and then she will sit down and listen to a song, and it will cost hundreds of taels, depending on whether others are happy or not. That's why I said, it's good to have a woman, don't pick the fat and the thin. ”

Li Xiushan said: "Since Guanhou doesn't want to go to the small class, then let's go to Baiyuchi, take a bath, and drink a pot of tea." ”

The bath is fake, the three of them discussed the rules to deal with the Pang family is true, if you talk about things at home or in the yamen, you have to be serious and follow the rules, and in the end, most of them can't talk about anything. It is not necessary to be in a restaurant or a tea shop, a book in a Qing building, or a soft language, or a frank meeting, and everyone has no worries and knows everything, so that it is possible to talk about things with an eyebrow.

The three of them first soaked in the pool for a while, and then asked the worker to rub their backs and pinch their feet, and after being busy, they drank fragrant tea and talked about the five trick beads.

"My people are ready, you will redeem your fingers in a few days, Yuanfeng can't take it out, you will make trouble with him. As long as he dares to say a beating, my people will dare to arrest people. Don't look at the Pang family as a defense camp, it's useless at all. Now in Jinmen, it is Lord Yuan who has the final say, if the old army dares to be right with us, he will beat his mother. Where the trouble is, we are justified. But you're messing with his pawnshop at most, and it's still a little far from that bead. I have an idea, I don't know if you have the courage to listen to it. ”

Hearing Li Xiushan say this, Zhao Guanhou took a sip of tea, "Brother Li, the matter has come to this point, brother, I have no advance or retreat, what else do I dare not do?" Just say, do you want me to kill someone, or do you want me to set fire? ”

"It's not that evil, but it's a bit dangerous to do. This is our Li family's own old things, our Jinmen is the bottom of the nine rivers, the most merchants, the benefits of Jinmen, the first priority. There are thirteen lines in Guangzhou to do foreign affairs, and when they fought with the British, it was from this that they made trouble, and our Li family originally wanted to have a bite of food in Jinmenyaxing. As a result, he was on the bar with the original head of the dental shop, and outside the dental shop, he set up an oil pot......"

Li Xiushan talked about this, even Cao Zhongkun came to the spirit, he was not a gangster, but he also had some understanding of the gangster's affairs, and asked: "What, do you want to sign with An Jiabi?" ”

"yes, it's more than a dead sign. As soon as you get started, you will fight in a group, and the movement will be too big, and if you don't make a good scene, you have to enter the yamen. As in today's situation, the move is always the last move, and if you can talk about it, you don't need to play it. Besides, the gangsters rely on face, and it is always a good thing to be able to shock the other party, my fourth uncle didn't say a word, he put his right hand directly into the oil pot, fried it well, the face does not change color, and the bones are no worse than the crown marquis. But on the An family's side, it was their head who jumped directly into the oil pot and fried himself into a meat filling. Not only us, but also how many heroes in the entire Jinmen, no one dares to think about the business of Anjia, and they are still relying on that oil pot and eating Yaxing's food. ”

Zhao Guanhou also understood at this time that Pang Yutang was nominally a half-gangster, although he was not named in the gangsters, but the rules on the street always had to be observed. If he sets up the oil pot, he has to find a way to take it, if he doesn't take it, then he will lose face, if he wants to use force, the thugs of the Li family with the water ladder and the small shoe shop can also make up hundreds of people, and they are not at a disadvantage. What's more, the new army can still come out with biased bullet pressure, and in the end, the Pang family suffers.

As for the process of this oil pan...... He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Brother Li's idea is good, I'll share the oil pot with him." ”

"That's what I said, and when you hear it, don't really think it's a foolproof plan." Li Xiushan, in turn, persuaded again: "Do you have such an obedient brother in your hands? This kind of thing, you have to choose a good person to do, first, you must have courage, second, you must have bones, and third, you must not be afraid of death. Although they all say that they are bold, if they really want to say that they jump into the hot oil, ordinary people don't have the courage. In the end, someone else does it, you don't do it. Our own brothers, there will be a time to get rich in the future, and we can't afford to play with this life. ”

Cao Zhongkun also said: "Yes, I feel scary when I hear this, such a big living person, I will blow it up when I say it?" I think you should think about it in the long run, and don't rush forward on impulse and hot brains. ”

After taking a bath, it was late at night, and the three of them slept in the bathhouse. The next day, Li Xiushan returned to the water ladder, and Zhao Guanhou said that he was accompanying Cao Zhongkun to see Cao's father, but in fact, the two went all the way to the small shoe shop.

Cao Zhongkun saw that Li Xiushan was not there, so he said: "Don't listen to his idea, I'll see this kid playing with you." You really jumped into the oil pot, even if you stopped the Pang family, the final benefit was that he swallowed it alone, this kind of stupid thing, you can't do it. ”

"Third brother, look at what you said, brother, I'm not stupid, he can't deceive me with this little abacus. I have other plans. Zhao Guanhou sneered twice, "Li Xiushan just likes calculating people too much, he originally wanted to use me as a springboard to meet Meng Siyuan, and he kicked me away when he was done." I invited the third brother here, not only to suppress him, but also to let you know the Meng Dong family, this kind of rich person, there is no harm in making friends. You come with me to see you personally, it's another riches. ”
