Early the next morning, Li Yunzhong dressed himself up, tried a few clothes and was not satisfied, thinking that the wind is rampant in Shanghai now, so he found his favorite clothes, a black suit, and leather shoes are also high-end goods worth thousands of taels of silver.

Li Yunzhong tiptoed to the door, several guards looked at each other, looked at the emperor's nondescript dress in front of him, and saluted together: "See the emperor!" ”

Li Yunzhong hurriedly made a gesture of silence and whispered: "When I go out to shop by myself, you don't have to follow!" ”

"This ...... The emperor spares his life! Several guards swallowed, and seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be joking, they knelt on the ground together.

Li Yunzhong pretended to be angry: "I just went and came, you dare to resist the order!" ”

Seeing that the guards were too frightened to raise their heads, Li Yunzhong swaggered out of the door.

Several guards leaders glanced at each other and whispered:

"What to do? If something happens to the emperor, if we don't say punishment, we won't have the face to live anymore! ”

"But the emperor won't let us follow, hey! If Commander Tang was here, he would definitely be able to persuade the emperor. ”

"That's right! The emperor won't let us follow, we can protect it quietly, didn't Commander Tang explain! ”

"Yes, yes! That's it, immediately send fifty people to cross-dress to follow, Xiao Wu, you go and notify the Shanghai Police Department, and ask them to cooperate with Director Zheng! ”

"Yes!"

……

Looking at the ghostly guards behind him, Li Yunzhong laughed at himself, glanced at the note in his hand, and silently recited in his heart: "No. 72 Nanjing Road!" Mrs. Zhao is here. ”

The closer he got to the target, the more nervous Li Yun Center became, feeling the bustling crowd around him. Suits and leather shoes, Tang costumes and Hanfu are everything. It's like being in a foreign Chinatown.

"This uncle, do you want to take a car?" A porter pulled a two-wheeled bicycle to Li Yunzhong's side. Flattering Lu asked.

Looking at the dirty porter, Li Yunzhong took two steps back and shook his head reluctantly, seeing that the porter was still not leaving, he could only speak: "No need, I ...... My target is nearby. ”

Looking at the note in Li Yunzhong's hand, the porter smiled: "Uncle is the first time to come to Shanghai, right?" You don't know how to say goodbye, it's only a few hundred steps, but it can make you walk for half a day, and if you get on a rickshaw, I don't have to get there in a quarter of an hour! ”

Li Yunzhong was noncommittal. Looking around, except for a little more people, I can't see the difference with the county seat in later generations.

The porter did not retreat, wiped the sweat on his face with the rag around his neck, his dark face instantly became much whiter, and he nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, the little one is by no means a bad person, the little one is just to support the family!" ”

Originally, Li Yunzhong's chest was tumbling in disgust by his movements, but he heard him say to himself. I was ashamed again, thinking that I was even more sloppy than him a few years ago, and I didn't argue anymore because I was tired of cutting wood and burning charcoal for a meal. Calmly sat on the rickshaw and said, "No. 72 Nanjing Road!" ”

The porter smiled and sang, "Good! No. 72 Nanjing Road. It's coming soon, and the uncle is sitting tight! ”

Li Yunzhong watched the porter turn around. "How do you go back?" ”

The porter looked back and smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, you will pass through the French Concession when you walk from this side." There are a lot of fish and dragons there, there are a lot of gangsters, I bypassed Xia Fei Road, and it won't take long, and the price is the same! ”

Li Yunzhong nodded, looked at the four or five rickshaws following behind, and shook his head again.

After running for a while, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the porter was unwilling to be lonely, and said loudly: "Uncle also went to find Mrs. Zhao, right?" ”

Li Yunzhong sighed and asked, "How do you know the Dao?" ”

The porter didn't look back, and said with a smile: "No. 72 Nanjing Road is Mrs. Zhao's residence, and there are many rich young masters wandering outside, just hoping that when Mrs. Zhao goes out, she will have a few words with her." ”

Li Yun was uncomfortable in the center, and he was also curious in his heart, and said: "Little brother, you run slowly, I'm not in a hurry, you just said that Mrs. Zhao recruited bees and butterflies, tell me carefully." ”

The porter really slowed down, adjusted his breath and said: "Actually, it's not that Mrs. Zhao is bad, I heard that Mrs. Zhao is a good person, often send food and drink to these poor people, and in winter, she also sends quilts, and my mother said that she is the great benefactor of our family." ”

Li Yunzhong became more and more sure that this Mrs. Zhao was Zhao Yali, and recalled the anecdote of the beautiful woman in her previous life, and laughed knowingly: "Is this Mrs. Zhao very famous in Shanghai?" ”

The porter looked back and smiled, and said: "Uncle asked other women if I still don't know the way, but Mrs. Zhao I know very well, our porter loves to listen to her things, Mrs. Zhao came to Shanghai a year ago, when Mayor Zhou personally received her, and the newspaper also reported this matter, who knew that the rumors were more outrageous, and the most unfortunate was Mayor Zhou to maintain Mrs. Zhao." ”

Li Yunzhong replied with great interest: "What happened later? ”

No wonder Zhou Lichun fidgeted when he mentioned Mrs. Zhao yesterday, it turned out that he was afraid that I would misunderstand, this old guy must be happy in Shanghai, otherwise the reporter would not listen to the wind is rain.

The porter said: "Later, Mayor Zhou came forward to clarify that Mrs. Zhao also moved out of the luxury villa, that is, the one that left the city government, I heard that it was magnificent, and millions of taels of silver were used, and Mayor Zhou was reluctant to live in it, and I don't know if it was true or not." ”

The porter suddenly stopped at the intersection and turned around and said, "Uncle, be careful, there is Xia Fei Road in front, there are a lot of girls here, uncle, don't be dazzled." ”

Li Yunzhong saw him go elsewhere, and said with a smile: "What kind of battle we have seen, you just go in." ”

"Great!" The porter agreed, ran a few steps and shouted at the pedestrians in front: "Let go!" Everybody get out of the way! ”

Li Yunzhong said secretly: What the hell is Zhou Lichun, this old prostitute, there are so many brothels here, and four of the ten stores have scantily dressed girls standing at the door of the house, and the title of Xia Feilu here is named by himself, and he dares to make this place a brothel chain.

Depend on! There are not 10,000 girls here, but 8,000! Halfway through, Li Yunzhong thoughtfully came to a conclusion.

Out of Xia Fei Road, the porter breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Li Yunzhong and said, "Uncle is so determined!" In the past, when I solicited customers, more than half of them would get off the bus to prostitute themselves. ”

Compare the king of a country to them! Out of Xianfeng and his son, and the emperor likes to prostitute himself? Li Yunzhong didn't know how to answer, and reluctantly replied: "What do you think of Shanghai?" ”

The porter was stunned, glanced at Li Yunzhong in confusion, and suddenly said, "Uncle wants to settle in Shanghai!" If you are not satisfied with the uncle, Shanghai is very good, as long as you work hard, you will not starve to death, like I can earn a penny of silver a day by pulling a car, and a rich person like the uncle will have a better life. ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Then why don't you and I join the army?" In the army, the monthly salary is six taels, and the non-commissioned officer is at least ten taels, I see that you have strong muscles and bones, and you have not seen panting after running for so long, and you are also a strong general on the battlefield! If you join the army, you can support your family and seal your wife and son, and you can glorify your ancestors. ”

The porter was embarrassed, stretched out his right hand and touched the back of his head, his face was slightly red, and he turned around and said, "My mother is still alive, and I want to send my mother to the end." ”

Li Yunzhong stopped asking.

The porter stopped, turned around and said, "Uncle, here, in front of you is Mrs. Zhao's residence, where there are police patrols, and the small ones don't dare to get too close." ”

Li Yunzhong got off the rickshaw slowly, took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his pocket and handed it to the porter.

The porter looked at the large denomination, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "One hundred taels!" The small ones can't be found! ”

Li Yunzhong smiled: "This is troublesome, my youngest here is this one hundred taels, so what can I do?" ”

The porter was stunned, touched the back of his head and smirked twice, and said honestly: "Then forget it, next time you have change, it's not too late for the uncle to give it again." ”

Li Yunzhong deliberately arrested him and said seriously: "This is troublesome, I have always kept no change." ”

The porter turned the rickshaw around and said, "Since the little one can't be found, then forget it, and let's talk to the uncle." ”

Several guards scattered, looking at the porter, and their lower bodies were accumulating, ready to rush at any time.

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Li Yunzhong stuffed the silver ticket into the porter's hand and said: "Take it, this silver ticket is for you!" (To be continued......)
