Chapter 35: The Black Hand of Assassination
Tang Ying continued to lie on Chen Zikun's shoulder and bite his ear: "Song Ziwen wrote me a lot of love letters. Do you think I should promise him? ”
Chen Zikun said: "It depends on whether Ziwen's love writing is warm or not, and whether it is sincere or not." ”
Tang Ying chuckled: "Uncle, you are so funny." ”
Chen Zikunqi said: "Why did you become an uncle all of a sudden? ”
Tang Ying said: "Originally, I should have called you brother-in-law, but you abandoned my sister, married so many aunts, and gave birth to so many little girls, of course you have to call you uncle." ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "Uncle is uncle, by the way, you haven't said how you feel about Ziwen." ”
Tang Ying said: "Brother Ziwen has studied both China and the West, he is young and rich, and he is a senior government official, a member of the central government, and more importantly, he is not married, so he is naturally the target of celebrities in Shanghai." ”
"What about you?"
"Me? Can I be the same as those vulgar fans, of course it was Brother Ziwen chasing me. As she spoke, Tang Ying giggled again, full of youth and vitality.
"Ziwen is my brother, and I am my uncle, this is the gap." Chen Zikun sighed.
"What, regret getting married?" Tang Ying tilted his head and squinted at Song Ziwen in the distance, the elder of the finance department was already a little restless, you must know that although Chen Zikun was not ranked in the list of the four princes, he was only thirty years old and ranked as a first-class general, a member of the Central Committee, on an equal footing with Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, and his appearance and figure were even more handsome and tough, and he was called Zhao Zilong in the National Revolutionary Army by many young women, although he was not weak, but there was still a bit of a hardware gap compared to him.
Just as he was sitting on pins and needles, the secretary came: "Minister, what are you looking at?" ”
"Hehe, you're here, I'm watching Sister Ling dance."
The secretary pushed his glasses and looked suspiciously at the man dancing with his sister on the dance floor, "It seems to be Chairman Chen of the National Defense Construction Supervision Commission." ”
Song Ziwen smiled dryly: "It's him, he's been making movies recently, and he's in the limelight." ”
Tang Yulu is also a funny person, and said: "Minister, my sister is putting pressure on you, now Xiao Nizi is really amazing, she knows a man's mind clearly, don't fall for her." ”
Song Ziwen laughed at it.
At the end of the song, the two returned to their seats, and Tang Ying introduced to Chen Zikun: "My brother, Tang Yulu, Minister Song's secretary, is also an alumnus of your St. John's University. ”
Chen Zikun stretched out his hand: "Fortunately." ”
Tang Yulu is not very old, gentle, personable, and has the image of a well-educated rich son in Shanghai, and he is very respectful and polite to Chen Zikun: "Chairman Chen banned opium and inspected the British name of a French cargo ship I heard about it when I was a teenager. ”
Chen Zikun and this secretary Tang hit it off at first sight, talking about international and domestic affairs, the opinions are so much the same, there is a sense of acquaintance and hatred, Tang Zikun studied economics at Harvard University, and has studied financial affairs, and believes that to solve the problem of insufficient funds, we must start from two aspects, Chen Zikun asked, but open source and reduce expenditure?
"It has been exhausted and fishing, then what source can be opened, it is impossible to throttle, suppressing the Communist Party is the top priority, and not a penny can be saved, the two methods I said, one is to solve the problem of salt tax return by diplomatic means, and the other is to replace the silver dollar with legal tender, that is, to change the silver standard, and the currency is pegged to foreign exchange ......"
The two chatted freely, and after a while, they realized that Song Ziwen and Tang Ying had already stepped onto the dance floor, and Tang said with a smile: "Ziwen fell in love with her sister at first sight, and has been pursuing it for a while, Brother Kunwu wants the beauty of an adult." ”
Chen Zikun laughed: "Secretary Tang, do you think I look like the kind of person who snatches love with a knife." ”
Tang Yulu also smiled: "Chairman Chen, you are the idol in the hearts of thousands of girls, you really want to dig the foot of the wall, Ziwen can't help it." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Ling Mei and Ziwen are together, will they be happy?" ”
Tang Yu said: "I won't tell you, my father opposes this family business, thinking that the Song family is too deeply involved in politics, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the anti-Jiang force is too strong, I don't know when the Jiang government will collapse, and the little sister has no future with Ziwen, but I don't see it that way." ”
Chen Zikun said: "According to Brother Tang's opinion, the Jiang government is still very promising? ”
Tang Yu said: "When I first returned to China, I worked as a secretary to Feng Yuxiang for a period of time, and I know a little about the anti-Chiang forces, and they call Chairman Jiang a new warlord, which I don't think is unreasonable. ”
Chen Zikun was taken aback, this Secretary Tang was bold enough, as a government official who was arrogant about the leader, he was really a student in the United States.
Tang said with a smile: "In all fairness, Chairman Jiang does have the style of a new warlord, but compared with it, Feng Huanzhang and others can't even talk about this new word, they can only be called half-new warlords, and there is not much difference between Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others, no one can sort out the mess in China, only Chairman Jiang, he is the least bad choice at present." ”
After that, he added with a smile: "This is the unanimous opinion of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums, not my personal opinion." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Let's go back to the topic just now, the Jiang government has a future, Ziwen Fei Huang Tengda, this marriage is really good." ”
Tang Yu said: "I agree with this family business, not because of political reasons, my father is a doctor, I have never liked politics, the Song family has enough political marriages, Ziwen hates this kind of thing, so I believe that there is sincere love between them, and it has nothing to do with politics, as for the age gap, it is not a problem." ”
Chen Zikun felt that this Secretary Tang was a very interesting person, and said: "If I hadn't gotten married, I would have intended to compete fairly with Ziwen, but I have married three ladies, so I'm not qualified." ”
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.
In less than an hour, Chen Zikun and Tang Yulu have become good friends, he invited Xiao Tang to be the director of finance in Jiangdong Province after stepping down, Tang Yulu readily agreed, Tang Ying blinked his eyes and said: "Uncle Chen, you are really the nemesis of our Tang family, everyone surnamed Tang likes you, even my brother is no exception." ”
Tang Yulu didn't know about the affairs of his cousin Tang Yan and Chen Zikun, but he just smiled implicitly, Song Ziwen felt slightly sour in his heart, and said, "What about me?" ”
"You, you've been eaten by our Tang family." Tang Ying giggled, and the flowers trembled.
The next day, Song Ziwen and Tang Yulu had to return to Nanjing and leave early, Tang Ying was also brought by his brother, so he had to leave, and before leaving, he asked Chen Zikun mysteriously: "Where do you live?" ”
Chen Zikun gave her the address of his Shanghai office and said, "What's the matter with finding uncle?" ”
Tang Ying said: "You promised to take me for a ride, and you still owe it." ”
Chen Zikun said: "What year is this? ”
……
The next morning, Chen Zikun was reviewing documents in the Zhabei office, when suddenly the phone rang urgently, Liu Ting picked up and said a few words, and said with a stern face: "Minister Song's phone." ”
Chen Zikun picked up the microphone: "Ziwen, it's me." ”
"Brother Kunwu, I was assassinated at the North Station, my body was seriously injured, the assassin was not caught, I can't trust anyone now, you come and protect me."
Song Ziwen's voice was panicked and frustrated, which shocked Chen Zikun, someone dared to assassinate Uncle Guo in broad daylight, it was bold, this matter was by no means done by idle people, one hit missed, it is likely that there will be a second wave, a third wave of attacks, Song Ziwen did not ask for help from the Police Department and the Songhu Garrison Command, but asked for his own protection, indicating that there are also internal ghosts in the security agency.
"Ziwen, calm down, where are you now? I'll go right away. ”
Song Ziwen said an address in the concession, Chen Zikun hung up the phone, put on a weapon, drove straight to the concession, and when he arrived at the agreed place, the other party verified his identity before putting it in, Song Ziwen sat in the dark living room, the curtains were all closed, and he looked at Chen Zikun wordlessly, his eyes flashing.
"I was shot three times in the body, and it was too late when the doctor arrived." He said in a low and hoarse voice.
Chen Zikun was also shocked, Tang Crumble, who was still talking and laughing with him yesterday, was separated from yin and yang, which was really unacceptable.
"I really don't know how to explain to the Tang family, the assassin's target is me, the cheeks are similar to what I am wearing, they mistake them for me, and the cheeks died for me...... Song Ziwen let out a long breath, took off his glasses, and covered his face with his hands.
Chen Zikun said: "The top priority is not to be sad, but to move to a safe place as soon as possible. ”
Song Ziwen said: "I also think about it this way, the railway can't go anymore, the highway doesn't dare to go, and it's inconvenient for the Songhu Garrison Command to send people, I suspect that the whereabouts were leaked by them, Zikun, now I can only rely on you." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Without further ado, let's go now, take my car to the airport, and I will personally escort you to Nanjing." ”
Song Ziwen beat his spirit: "Then thank you very much." ”
Chen Zikun arranged and asked Song Ziwen's bodyguards to escort an empty car to leave first, and then changed Song Ziwen into Chinese-style casual clothes, hid it in the trunk of his car, and galloped all the way to Wu Li's temporary airport.
The area around the airport is under martial law and is guarded by the Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps, all of whom are descendants of Jiangbei who are not locals in Shanghai, and can be trusted.
It wasn't until after the plane took off that Song Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears: "I died because of this, and I can't pay off the life I owe to the Tang family." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Who is going to kill you?" ”
Song Ziwen said: "There are too many people who want to kill me, I am the Minister of Finance of the Republic of China, and those who oppose Jiang have the intention of killing me, as long as they kill me, the capital chain of the Jiang government will be broken, and Chairman Jiang will not be able to rule, these people include Wang Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Jitang, Sun Ke, and of course, *** people." ”
The first suspect who appeared in Chen Zikun's mind turned out to be Tang Yan, but he quickly denied it, *** people are above board, and they will never use this kind of assassination method.
"If you are negligent, the assassin will definitely show his feet, and when the time comes, let the garrison command arrest people, return a tooth for a tooth, wash blood with blood, and avenge Brother Tang."
Under the wings of the plane is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and Nanjing has arrived.
