Chapter 66: The Golden House Hides Jiao
Mr. Bai is not a good man and a woman, he has a small abacus, he eats the upper family and eats the next family, but the Mi family is not stupid, a thousand yuan of ocean into the purse, how can there be a reason to take it out, although the uncle and aunt are small citizens who can't get on the table, but when it comes to the issue of money, they don't back down at all, and they are resolutely unwilling to spit out the meat that they eat in their mouths.
"Allah doesn't care!" Mr. Bai feigned anger and walked away, Aunt Mi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, so that he persuaded him with the price of one-third of Chen Zikun's bride price, Mr. Bai turned his anger into joy, and said that he would go to Mr. Lai to discuss it early tomorrow morning.
When the Mi family was noisy, Chen Zikun had already returned to the Huizhong Hotel, Lin Wenjing had already returned from work, sitting quietly in the room alone, and when he saw Chen Zikun entering the door, he immediately flew over, and said with a worried face: "Where have you been?" ”
"I'm going to do something." Chen Zikun replied vaguely, seeing Lin Wenjing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you. ”
"No...... I just think that the room rate of Huizhong Hotel is very expensive, you ...... Where did you get all this money and what the hell do you do? Lin Wenjing bit her lip and asked very carefully, she was restless all afternoon, thinking about it and feeling scared, afraid of losing Chen Zikun.
"Little fool, don't worry, I have a serious profession, and I am by no means the kind of robber who kills people and sells goods." Chen Zikun gently scraped the bridge of Lin Wenjing's delicate nose.
Lin Wenjing also looked worried: "Don't lie to me, I saw that your friends were all carrying guns, but you are not patrolling." ”
Chen Zikun put away his smile, put his hands on Lin Wenjing's shoulders, looked her eyes directly and said, "I haven't seen you for five years, a lot of things have happened, but some things will never change, do you understand?" ”
Lin Wenjing nodded as if she didn't understand.
Chen Zikun added: "My friends all carry guns, because they are soldiers, and I am also soldiers. ”
Lin Wenjing didn't believe Chen Zikun's words, she worked at the Sincere Department Store on the main road, often entered the rental industry, and often saw patrolling British and American Marine Corps soldiers, wearing steel helmets, leather boots, and bayonet guns on their backs, that is the real image of a soldier, on the other hand, Chen Zikun's friends, wearing ill-fitting suits, with a shell gun stuck in his waist, full of gangsterism, spitting, and scolding his mother, which is a soldier, is clearly a robber.
As he was talking, the elevator at the end of the corridor stopped with a dingdong, and an American detective from the Public Concession Patrol Room walked the elevator with three Chinese patrolmen, accompanied by the hotel lobby manager, and walked all the way down the corridor.
They received a report and came to investigate, the case that originally happened in the Chinese Territory, the Concession Patrol House has no right to intervene, but there is no absolute, this case is transferred by the French Concession Patrol House, it is said that the boss of Huang Jinrong Huang personally greeted and mobilized several patrol and arrest routines to investigate, and this point of face is still there.
Chen Zikun chartered two rooms next to each other in the Huizhong Hotel, a single room and a suite, the single room was for Lin Wenjing to live in, and the suite was for himself and his bodyguards to live, at this time he was talking in Lin Wenjing's room, and Liang Maocai took a few people to sit on the carpet in the corridor and brag and fart.
The appearance of the patrols immediately made the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army nervous, and they all stood up and quietly pulled away the pistol hammer, and Liang Maocai was even more arrogant in the corridor, shouting: "Stand for Lao Tzu!" ”
The patrolmen looked at each other, this is a concession, a Chinese is so rampant, can't he see that the person standing in front of him is Lord Yang, it is the patrol master.
The American detective's surname is Smith, an old patrol with 20 years of experience, and when he looks at this posture, he understands that there are generally two kinds of Chinese who dare to bring guns in the concession, one is a gang member, and the other is a central ** valve, and he has seen more hooligans on the beach, and these slightly rustic Chinese in front of him are obviously not the former.
Looking at the American-made Thompson hand-held machine gun with 100 rounds of drums on Liang Maocai's shoulder, Smith understands even more that the Green Gang hooligans have at most a handjob, and the bodyguards of the general Shimono warlords are only equipped with German-made barge guns, and there is only one handsome who likes to use American-style hand-held machine guns, that is, General Chen Zikun, who has been in the limelight recently.
But after all, this is a concession, a foreigner's territory, Smith's pride in his bones was stimulated by Liang Maocai's arrogance, holding the handle of the revolver and said majestically: "The guest who lives in 505 is suspected of intentional injury, I will take him back to investigate, if anyone obstructs law enforcement, I will not hesitate to arrest him!" ”
The lobby manager stepped forward to negotiate, but Liang Maocai couldn't understand English or Shanghainese, so he impatiently slapped the handle of the hand-held machine gun and said, "The marshal is resting, no one is allowed to disturb." ”
Smith drew his gun, and before the holster snap was opened, four shell guns and a Thompson were aimed at them.
Suddenly the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, Mu Yichen hurried out, saw this posture and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, he was fluent in English, and explained it clearly in three words, it was indeed General Chen Zikun, the military affairs supervisor of Jiangdong Province, who lived here, he was a distinguished guest of Mr. Consul, and he would definitely not be involved in a criminal case.
This flickering also frightened Smith, it was really a mess, he couldn't afford a small look, and Mu Yichen quietly handed over a large dollar bill, so he coughed dryly and said: "Maybe I'm in the wrong place, I'm sorry, goodbye." "Then he took the patrol and left.
Mu Yichen took a long breath, patted Liang Maocai's shoulder, and entered the room, Chen Zikun and Lin Wenjing were talking to me, and they didn't know what was happening outside.
"Senior, Beijing Telegraph." Mu Yichen handed over a telegram.
The telegram was sent jointly by Yao Yilei and Jianbing, saying that the Nationalist Army had lifted the surveillance blockade and that they would be able to return in a few days, asking whether Chen Zikun would return to Nantai or the provincial capital, or Shanghai.
The two ladies are safe and sound, Chen Zikun is very determined, but there is another problem, Yao Yilei and Jianbing are not fuel-efficient lamps, Lin Wenjing will definitely be bullied by the two of them, this thing must not happen.
He called Mu Yichen aside and said in a low voice, "You have to do me a favor......"
After a while of whispering, Mu Yichen smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll arrange it, by the way, senior, if you want not to be known by others, don't make a lot of trouble in the city, and know what you shouldn't know when the time comes, for example, just now, the people who patrol the house have come to the door." ”
Chen Zikun said: "I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the concession, how could I alarm the people who patrol the house." ”
Mu Yichen said: "I also have a few acquaintances in the patrol room, just help you inquire, okay, it's not too early for me to leave." ”
Seeing Mu Yichen away, Lin Wenjing asked, "What did you say to him just now?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "I asked him to rent a house here in the concession, after all, it is not a way to live in a hotel." ”
Lin Wenjing's face flushed, and her heart was warm, a house means stability, it means a family, and finally she doesn't have to live in a narrow and dark attic, and she finally doesn't have to look at Aunt Mi's aunt and grandmother's face.
……
The next morning, Mr. Bai went to Huxi to find Boss Lai to have morning tea together, and by the way, he mentioned Chen Zikun's robbery, and Mr. Lai was furious: "The women of Allah are also moving, and they are impatient!" What does Nong do for food? I can't even look at a person! ”
Mr. Bai said with a bitter face: "We can't help it, the person surnamed Chen is not small, he brought a few people, and he has guns on him." ”
Boss Lai smiled and said: "It's great to have a gun, and I don't want to see what Allah does, don't worry about this matter, Allah will handle it himself." ”
Coming out of the teahouse, Mr. Bai went to the Huizhong Hotel non-stop, and waited in the lobby below for three hours before waiting for Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun's stay in Shanghai is not only for Lin Wenjing, as a provincial superintendent, the transfer of troops to fight a war and sit on one side is a secondary task, just hand it over to the chief of staff to do, what the commanders have to do is to liaise and raise military salaries, this is the primary task, Chen Zikun was not idle all morning, and met with the British and American consuls and the heads of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and the two sides held cordial and friendly bilateral talks on the issue of stability and development around Shanghai.
When meeting with the consul, naturally he couldn't wear rags, Chen Zikun wore a straight morning dress, shiny leather shoes, and meticulous hair, Mr. Bai almost didn't recognize him, but Chen Zikun recognized him, stopped at the elevator and smiled: "Isn't this Mr. Bai?" ”
Mr. Bai exclaimed: "Oh, Mr. Chen is really a talent, Allah has already said that Wen Jing will not suffer if he follows you, that's the case, Allah went to talk to Mr. Lai in the morning, there is basically no problem, and we have to return the bride price to Yila, but the daughter who has been raised for so many years is still quite distressed to ......marry out."
Chen Zikun said: "I still have something, how much dowry do you want, say!" ”
Mr. Bai was overjoyed: "Mr. Chen is so refreshing, he will not let us suffer." ”
Chen Zikun said: "In this way, didn't the surnamed Lai give you a thousand, I will give him ten times more and give 10,000." ”
Mr. Bai's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Thank you so much, Wen Jing's biological parents will also thank you in the spirit of the sky, and we will also make the scene beautiful, by the way, when will you get the banknotes?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "I don't have so much cash in hand for the time being, you go back first, and I will send someone to Mifu in the afternoon." ”
Mr. Bai thanked him for his kindness, his heart blossomed, and he secretly prayed that after the best 10,000 yuan was delivered, Chen Zikun was immediately killed by Boss Lai, so it would be perfect.
Chen Zikun went upstairs, Mu Yichen was also waiting for him, took a house deed and a bunch of keys and said: "I bought you a Shikumen house on Tibet Road, furniture and bedding or something, buy your own furniture, and besides, yesterday the patrol house was looking for fault, because Huang Jinrong from the French Concession said hello, but it was not necessarily aimed at you." ”
"I haven't met Huang Jinrong before, so I guess he won't target me...... Thinking of it, it must be the relationship between the boy surnamed Huang, I am worried that I can't find the stubble of Sanxin Company, I am really sleepy and someone sent a pillow. Chen Zikun said happily.
Mu Yichen wiped a cold sweat and said, "Senior, are you really going to attack Sanxin Company?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "The fattest thing in Shanghai is Sanxin Company, who else can I slaughter if I don't kill him, but I have to go to Sincere Department Store to buy household goods first." ”
Mu Yichen shook his head helplessly, the senior already has two beautiful wives and beautiful relatives in his family, and he has to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house outside, he really enjoys the blessings of all people, but he is still alone.
I don't know how Qiu Ling is doing now.
