The summer sun is white and flowery, the people who shine are dizzy, the cicadas on the big tree at the entrance of the Yao Mansion are endless, which makes people anxious, Chen Zikun sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, replaying the bits and pieces with Yao Yilei in his mind.

Time has passed, and the fall of the Anhui government has made the Yao family bound to fade out of the political arena, and the chances of seeing each other since then have been extremely slim.

After smoking this cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and was just about to leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure pulling a foreign car from not far away.

The guest got up and scolded: "Ya Ting, how to pull the car!" ”

The coachman remained motionless and was already unconscious.

Chen Zikun pushed the car door and walked over, and scolded: "Okay, let's accumulate some virtue on your lips." ”

Chen Zikun stepped forward and helped the coachman to see that it was Wang Dongliang of Ziguang Depot, his naked upper body was hot and red from the sun, his face was sweating, his lips were scorched, and it was obviously heat stroke.

"Quick, carry it to the shade." Chen Zikun beckoned Wang Degui to carry Wang Dongliang under the big locust tree, poured some cold water into his mouth, and pinched the person violently, and after a while, the person eased up, opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Boss, it's you!" And he struggled to get up.

Chen Zikun said: "Lie down and don't move, how can you still come out to run on this hot day, you don't even wear a straw hat, come, drink saliva again." ”

Wang Dongliang said: "I don't drink, I didn't eat at noon, I drank a lot of water, and I swayed when I ran." ”

Chen Zikun was sad for a while, and asked people to bring two flatbreads over, Wang Dongliang took the big munch, choked and rolled his eyes, and took the kettle to drink violently, gobbling it up, I am afraid that he has been hungry for a long time.

Looking at the foreign car again, it was dilapidated, the paint was mottled, and the car bars were rusty, it was not a car from Ziguang Depot at all, Chen Zikun asked: "Why do you pull such a broken car?" ”

Wang Dongliang said: "After the shopkeeper Xue was arrested, the car factory was occupied by the Ma family, and we were also driven out, other car factories did not accept it, and I had no money to buy a car, so I had to partner with others to pull the car...... Shopkeeper, what are you dressed like? ”

Chen Zikun said: "Dongliang, don't say anything, follow me." ”

Wang Dongliang said: "What should I do with the car?" ”

"I don't want this broken car."

When he returned to the Liang Mansion in Anfu Hutong with Wang Dongliang, the soldiers at the gate saw Chen Zikun and immediately shouted on his heels: "Salute!" Chen Zikun returned the gift in a chic manner, and Wang Dongliang, who saw it, was stunned: "Boss, are you a military attache of several products now?" ”

Chen Zikun just smiled, and when he entered the main hall, Zhao Yufeng was sitting on the Taishi chair flipping through the newspaper, and when he heard the sound of riding boots, he quickly jumped up and reported: "I was incompetent and incompetent, and I didn't catch Duan Zhigui." ”

"Where did he go?" Chan took off his white gloves and threw them on the table.

"I went to Dongjiaomin Lane, our soldiers can't enter the embassy area, no way." Zhao Yufeng said.

Chen Zikun is not surprised, the front-line soldiers are defeated, these military bigwigs must have the fastest legs and feet, if they honestly stay at home and wait for someone to arrest them, it will be called 1 strange.

"It's okay, send a few people to change into civilian clothes, go to Dongjiaomin Lane to guard me, and arrest people as soon as they come out." Chen Zikun gave an order, Zhao Yufeng went out to make arrangements, came back and said in a low voice: "Brother, there is a big discovery." ”

"Oh?" Chen Zikun looked at Zhao Yufeng's expression and knew what he had found, turned around and asked Wang Dongliang to sit for a while, and followed Zhao Yufeng to the back hall.

"Brother, God knows, you know and I know...... It's better to ......" Zhao Yufeng's eyes flashed with silver light.

Chen Zikun knew that these were the activity funds of the Anfu Department, and with Xu Shuzheng's drip-tight style of doing things, he was sure that every account had accurate records, and he was afraid that there would be some risks if he kept it for himself.

But after thinking about it, just after the end of the war, the members of the Anfu Club fled, hid, and the situation was chaotic, even if they hacked the money, who knows.

He was fiercely engaged in ideological struggle, but there was a resolute expression on his face, Zhao Yufeng snorted: "Brother, in fact, I am also for your good, let's don't put our heads on the waistband of our trousers, it's not a promotion, isn't it just to get rich, now that the wealth is in front of you, why bother to go far." ”

"Let me think about it." Chen Zikun only felt that two villains were fighting in his head, and a villain in a military uniform said: "As a soldier, you must not do disloyal and unrighteous things, and this money should be handed over to Wu Dashuai." Another villain dressed as a bandit said, "Whoever grabs it first is whoever, so what's there to worry about?" ”

The two villains were evenly matched, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhao Yufeng stroked the box on the side and sighed: "Look at this box, the sandalwood is worth at least a few hundred yuan." ”

Chen Zikun's heart lit up, this Anfu Club was built by Xu Shuzheng with a huge amount of money, exclusively for the enjoyment of the congressmen, the decoration and furnishings are all exquisite and luxurious, these sandalwood furniture alone is worth a lot of money, as well as the antique jade copper tripod on the Bogu shelf, the famous calligraphy and paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties hanging on the wall, which one is not priceless! It's ridiculous that I was struggling with whether I should take a box of silver dollars.

Thinking of this, he closed the lid of the box with a bang, and said resolutely: "Could it be that my Chen Zikun's personality is worth this box of oceans, if I am greedy for money, how can I be worthy of the cultivation of the handsome!" ”

Seeing that what he said was righteous, Zhao Yufeng naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, and locked the box in a gloomy manner.

Not far away, the commander of the pistol company, Company Commander Li, gently lowered the curtain and tiptoed back.

……

Chen Zikun withdrew the gendarmerie company from the Anfu Club, put a seal on the gate of the rebel army, and left a squad of soldiers to guard the place, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and then went to do his own business.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the willow alley, the cicadas chirped, the dilapidated was still dilapidated, the stinky ditch behind the miscellaneous courtyard was bubbled by the scorching sun, there was no wind, Xue Baoqing sat on the threshold with a sea bowl, sighing and looking at the water-like gruel in the bowl.

After his father Xue Pingshun was arrested by the Police Department, the Ziguang Depot was also seized, and the family smashed pots and sold iron, plus Chen Zikun and Xiao Shunzi remitted 800 yuan from Shanghai to pay homage, but it was not wasted, and the Police Department promised to release him, but on the night before he was released from prison, Xue Pingshun died in the detention center for unknown reasons.

The police agency said that Xue Pingshun died of a violent illness and had nothing to do with them, but what Baoqing found out was that his father was covered with a quilt by other prisoners.

Last summer, the second child died of a wound infection, and the third child was in prison, and everyone felt that the Ma family was finished.

The Ma family made a comeback and returned to their old business, and the foreign cars seized by the Ziguang Depot inexplicably came into their hands, for which Xue Baoqing went to look for it twice, but he was beaten and came back with a blue nose and swollen face.

The house leaked and rained overnight, Dr. Stanley's clinic was closed, Baoqing even lost the messenger, and the family had no overnight food, but fortunately, there was still two arms of strength, and he could make do with food and clothing by pulling a foreign car.

The gruel like clear water can shine a human figure, Baoqing drank the gruel in one gulp, took a deep breath, killed the belt tighter, and then got up and went back to the house to take half a pocket and walked towards Xing'er's house.

Baoqing is a kind person, he is alone outside pulling a foreign car, but he has to feed a large family, in addition to his own mother, there is also Aunt Wang picked up by Chen Zikun from outside, and Xing'er's family, Zhao Dahai is far away in Hankou, Chen Zikun and Xiao Shunzi are dead, and he is the only adult man left in the courtyard, and he doesn't support anyone.

Sending the noodle bag to Xing'er's house, the family was relatively speechless, and after a while, Xing'er Niang sighed and said: "No matter how hard this day is, I have to live it, pick a good day in two days, and handle the marriage of the two of you." ”

Xing'er blushed and didn't speak, Baoqing was good to her, she knew in her heart that she was at ease to live with such a man.

As for the young man with the white horse and silver spear in the girl's hazy dream, let him go with the wind, the poor are not qualified to talk about dreams.

The good news came too quickly, Baoqing was a little caught off guard, rubbing his hands on his clothes, his face turned red, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "I will go home and talk to my mother, I must do it lively, and I will not let Xing'er be wronged." ”

"Ahem" With a dry cough, Chen Sanpi came in and said to Baoqing: "Big nephew, you go out for a while first, I have something to say to Xing'er Niang." ”

Baoqing nodded and went out, and closed the door of the room, only to hear Chen Sanpi's voice from the house: "I think you are sick and confused, marry your daughter to a poor coolie who pulls a foreign car, what can our family do?" ”

Xing'er Niang said: "Baoqing, this kid is very kind, our family has always had him to help, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive today." ”

Chen Sanpi sneered and said: "Is it good to be able to eat or drink, I have already helped Xing'er find a good family, the third young master of the old Wang family in Fangzhuan Hutong, is just twenty this year, it is a family with a head and a face in Beijing, Xing'er is not a small young grandmother when she marries, and she can't eat at all." ”

Xing'er Niang couldn't be clearer about her husband, and sneered at each other: "Is this third young master of the Wang family lame or blind?" ”

Chen Sanpi said: "Neither lame nor blind, but when I was a child, I took too much cold medicine, and people are not very smart, so it's okay, and the apricots in the province are angry." ”

Xing'er Niang was furious: "Okay, you, marry your daughter to a fool, do you have a father like you!" ”

Then I heard a chaotic sound of pots and pans in the house, as well as the sobbing sound of apricots, Baoqing clenched his teeth, clenched his iron fists, and just about to enter the house, he heard Chen Sanpi Zhenzhen say: "What's wrong with the fool, the fool's family has money, can support our family, can let Guo'er study, can treat you, and can let us live decently!" You really think I'm a brute, baba married my own daughter to a fool, I'm not for you, for this family! ”

Hearing this, Baoqing was immediately deflated, yes, these days, if you don't have money, you have to live like a dog without dignity, maybe Xing'er is really better than marrying that fool than marrying herself.

The man didn't flick when he had tears, just because he didn't get to the sad place, Baoqing was really sad this time, and a big man squatted in the corner and sobbed like this.

Suddenly, someone came behind him and hammered him on the shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded: "Baoqing, what are you doing?" ”
