On 23 June, in order to show solidarity with the "May Day Massacre" in Shanghai, workers and people from all walks of life in Guangdong and Hong Kong staged a massive general strike in Guangdong and Hong Kong; when the procession reached Shaji, the British Marines stationed there opened fire on the unarmed marchers, killing 59 people on the spot and seriously injuring more than 100 others, causing another "Shaji Massacre" that shocked China and the rest of the world, and the Whampoa Military Academy also paid a heavy price of 27 people killed and dozens injured.

At this time, at the critical moment of the formal establishment of the Nationalist Political Axe, the Whampoa military and political officials headed by Chiang Kai-shek fell into a tedious sea of documents, and the covetousness of various factions for the status of the party and the struggle for the rights of the revolutionary army had entered a white-hot stage.

In the face of the strong political prestige of Wang Jingwei, the "first choice for the chairman" who had always been by Mr. Zhongshan's side and wrote a will before his death, Chiang Kai-shek, who had been wandering around the core of the central leadership, worked hard and forgot to sleep and eat, and finally got his wish and entered the ranks of the Eighth National Congress of the Military Commission of which Wang Jingwei was also the chairman, laying an important foundation for his political career. Chiang Kai-shek gained great fame for his outstanding military exploits in the Eastern Crusade and the War of Rebellion, and for the first time comprehensively and systematically discussed the military system, military resources, armaments, military education, and army building, and won the admiration of both the government and the opposition.

After Chen Jiongming's reactionary forces entrenched in the Dongjiang region had a chance to respite, they had a great tendency to make a comeback, and the warlord Deng Benyin, who had occupied southwestern Guangdong for many years, and others echoed Chen Jiongming on the front lines of Qiongzhou, Lianzhou, Hepu, Qinzhou, and Fangcheng (the Qinlian area was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province at that time until the Sino-Vietnamese border), and the warships of British imperialism gathered at the mouth of the Pearl River.

In the quaint and elegant front hall of the durian garden on Puji Street, An Yi put down the "Art of War" that he had been reading for an hour and a half, and whispered to Ermao, who was getting smarter and smarter, to sit on the chair opposite the Eight Immortals Table, and took out a pair of pokers from the secret compartment under the Eight Immortals Table, and started a new day's battle with the excited Ermao.

In less than half an hour, Ermao, who had just turned seven, had a thick beard on his face, which was cute, and An Yi was successfully attacked by the smart Ermao twice, and a note was hung on both sides of the mouth like two long fangs, and the action of shuffling the cards in anger was faster than ever.

When the second aunt came back from grocery shopping, she covered her mouth and smiled when she saw this scene, put the newly bought newspaper on the incense table, and walked quickly to the back hall, smiling crookedly along the way.

"Humph......"

Lao Dao, who had slept back to the cage, shook the sunflower fan and walked out of the door with a displeased face, Ermao was so frightened that he threw down the poker and jumped off the stool, trotted a few steps to the coffee table by the wall, skillfully made tea and filtered water, and soon brought Lao Dao a cup of steaming tea. Lao Dao pointed to the low table on the side of the rocking chair, motioned to Ermao to put down the teacup, lowered his face and tore off Ermao's "beard", and ordered solemnly: "Go, go to your room and copy the five-page "Zengguang Xianwen", each page cannot be less than 300 words, don't eat today if you can't finish writing." ”

"Yes, I'll ......"

Ermao, who had a sad face, ran to the backyard with a cigarette.

Lao Dao continued his unhurried rural pedantic demeanor, drank half a cup of tea beautifully, and then said unhurriedly: "Yesterday, I also smashed a cup for the British several warships to sail into Baietan, why do you have a wasted time talking and laughing today?" ”

An Yi crossed Erlang's legs, stared at the newspaper and didn't raise his head: "I can't always carry his mother's stomach of resentment, right?" The revolutionary army is not angry, and the Cantonese army has no temper, you let me pick up a stone to smash the British warship? ”

Lao Dao smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the army and carry a gun?" I can see it, Ah Biao's stunned young man is sneaky every time he comes to you, and I don't know what the two of you are doing upstairs? However, the day before yesterday, you went out to look for you, and you didn't see anyone, and under my questioning, you said to me, your Whampoa brothers are looking for you all over the world, but you don't let him tell you where you are hiding, why is this? Did people in Longyan Cave not remember you in June, and you are still haunted by it? ”

An Yi put down the newspaper and sighed: "Don't think of me as such a small belly, Lao Tzu already knew the reason at that time, and he didn't blame the brothers at all." Last week, I thanked the three uncles of Longyan Cave for bringing the truck back to me, and I also went to the three uncle's house, and gave him ten oceans He didn't accept it, I had to rush to the east of the city to buy two bulls and three cows for his old man's house, one of the cows was still pregnant, the three uncles they saw such a strong cow liked, no longer shirked, more than a dozen big men took out the old wine of each family and poured Lao Tzu into a mess, how to go back to Guangzhou City, I don't know, fortunately, the little policeman guarding the east gate knows me, Leave me at the sentry box and sleep overnight, otherwise I will have to sleep on the streets, and maybe let the unconscionable workers before Dongzi be dragged to the wilderness by a cart and buried alive. ”

Lao Dao laughed, put down the teacup and turned his face to look at An Yi who sighed: "You have been kicked out by the shopkeeper for a long time, right?" During this time, you stay at home almost every day to read and practice calligraphy, and draw your messy drawings at night, nothing to do, and you don't have to go out of the door, and you have a feeling after experiencing life and death, and the surname is almost grinded, and you know that you have adopted your surname and combed your brain, but the unruly restlessness in your bones doesn't want to hide it from me. During this time, I was recuperating at home, and when I calmed down, I thought about your future, but I don't know what you kid is thinking about when I think about it? You have to tell me the truth today, why the hell do you always avoid your Whampoa brothers? What are your plans for the future? Do you want to join the military or business? ”

"Huh?"

An Yi looked at Lao Dao in surprise: "Why do you assert that I only have these two paths?" It's the result of divination every morning and evening, right? ”

Lao Dao laughed dryly: "Haha! With your little depth, is it worth my hexagram for you? When I was thirteen years old, I traveled with my master to nine provinces, what kind of people I haven't seen for decades? Let's make it clear today, if you don't want to join the army, why is there a new and bright German shell gun hidden under your pillow? If you don't want to do business, why did you exchange Lao Tzu's identity credentials for Guangzhou's in less than two months, and secretly deposit 5,000 oceans in the British bank in the Shamian Concession? Besides, you kid secretly changed the real estate contract of this durian orchard to my Lao Shoudao's name, did you hide that we were planning to go far away? ”

"Grandma's old way, you're too disloyal, aren't you? How dare you steal Lao Tzu's personal belongings? ”

An Yi was furious and threw the newspaper on the table of the Eight Immortals: "Okay, you sanctimonious guy, it turns out that you have voyeurism?" Tsk......"

Lao Dao was not angry: "Don't go aside!" It's not that Lao Tzu deliberately peeked at it, it was Ermao who went up that day to take out your gun and play it to scare me, I only knew, don't say this paragraph, anyway, Lao Tzu has a clear conscience. It's you, you use Lao Tzu's name to do all kinds of things, Lao Tzu hasn't settled accounts with you yet, today you have to confess to Lao Tzu, there is half a lie, Lao Tzu immediately moved away from here, hum! ”

An Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled all over his face: "Grandma's Ermao, Lao Tzu will break your little ass...... Haha, old man, why are you doing this? Why is the family talking about such angry words? You're dozens of years old, and you're still as knowledgeable as a kid? I'll pour you a cup of tea to quench the fire, haha...... Don't rush to drink it yet, it's hot...... Since you're so angry, I'll confess! ”

An Yi picked up his cup and drank a sip of boiled water: "To tell you the truth, these thousands of oceans were taken back by Lao Tzu from a violent death of a Yunnan army officer on the battlefield, when Lao Tzu was used by him to transport opium tobacco and the ocean to the front line with a gun, and rewarded those Dian troops for war, after the opium was divided, he embezzled and left a small half, and hid it under the cushion of my truck, after the battle he died, Lao Tzu's car was also scrapped, and it took a lot of effort to say that the three uncles of the Longyan Cave were dragged back with oxen Shengsheng, Who knew that as soon as I came back, Chen Siyan would take revenge and fire me, I didn't say a word at the time and turned around and left, but I sneaked back at night and took out the money, and Ah Biao was on duty that night, I gave him a little benefit, no, how good is he getting along with Lao Tzu now? Ha ha...... You can't put too much money at home, right? If we don't pay attention to being robbed and cry to the sky? So I thought of you, you and Dongzi are my only relatives in this world, Dongzi is honest, Lao Tzu deposited a huge amount of money in his name and didn't torture him out of illness? I have no choice but to use your name, who made your charlatan famous, no one thinks it is strange that there are 18,000 oceans, haha! Think about it, even the house will be transferred to your name, so that one day if I have a good one, our family must also have a person to rely on, right? ”

Lao Dao was relieved, his face was gloomy, but he was moved in his heart: "No wonder you stay at home so leisurely to read and practice calligraphy, humming yin and yang weird tunes all day long and drinking imported wine, it turns out that you have got a windfall from the sky...... Then said, you can't hide it from me, just your little heart and eyes still want to swallow and hide in front of Lao Tzu? Say it, say everything else, I don't blame you. ”

"Old Dao, your trick doesn't work for me, it's gone, haha!"

An Yi put down the cup, cocked Erlang's legs and continued to read the newspaper in a good way, who knew that Lao Dao suddenly threw a slipper, and tore the newspaper in half with the sound of the wind, and knocked the door of Dongzi's house a few meters away open with a "snap", which also scared An Yi: "Damn!" I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful hand...... Grandma's amazing! It seems that Dongzi is right, saying that you can knock down the flying dragonflies with a mouthful of phlegm, and it is really a bit of Taoism, hey! Teach me one day, especially the magic of the room that is never passed on in the Taoist secrets, I really want to learn! ”

Lao Dao couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, that stunned young man is knocking on the door again, boy, you give me a good listen: don't do anything hurtful, otherwise I can't spare you!" ”

An Yi just wanted to joke a few words, but found that Lao Dao's eyes shot a kind of essence that he had never seen before, and he was stunned, and swallowed the witticism that came up his throat: "Don't worry, who is Lao Tzu?" We will never do anything that hurts nature. Okay, I'll come when I go, what is the matter with Ah Biao's grandson at this time......"

An Yi walked to the courtyard door and opened the door, Ah Biao came in with a smile, and looked at the ghost and lowered his voice: "Boss, is there any Indian best?" It's been out of stock for a few days, and behind my ass is now dozens of rich second ancestors, these people are addicted to smoking and can't get rid of me like crazy people! It turns out that you said that you were worried about the underworld, we are only allowed to ship one pound a day, but I just sold sixty pounds, why is it gone? Let's think about it again, this business comes quickly and is enjoyable! Now India's best tobacco paste has risen to one or two in eight oceans, and it is out of stock at this time! ”

"I said Ah Biao, you fucking think it's shit, every day? I just sold sixty catties of goods, or the adjutant under Commander Fan Shisheng of the Beidaying Revolutionary Army Dian Army secretly asked me to sell, and now that the account is settled, the adjutant also left Guangzhou to recruit troops and horses in Xiangxi, where do you let Lao Tzu go? ”

An Yi glared at Ah Biao with regret on his face angrily: "Ah Biao, don't do this headless thing anymore, why can't you do it now that you have hundreds of oceans on your body?" I really don't want to go out and continue to stay in the trading house, and I will go to you again when I have a good deal one day, and I can't forget your difficult brother. Okay, go back, what to do, I know you have a way. ”

"That's all it can be."

Ah Biao nodded helplessly: "Boss, if you have a good business, remember the younger brother, where the boss points to the younger brother, you don't hesitate to go to the soup!" After this period of time, the younger brother also understood many truths, in this troubled world, he had to starve to death if he was timid. Okay, boss, the little brother is gone, one day you are happy to say, the little brother will make you a dog to stew. ”

An Yi laughed, hugged Ah Biao's shoulders and sent out of the door, without saying a few words, several powerful figures flew up, and seven or eight powerful hands pressed An Yi, who was unaware, to the ground, Ah Biao was so frightened that he leaned against the courtyard wall and was dumbfounded.

"Don't move! Be honest! ”
