Listening to Li Keding's inquiry, the man said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, I don't know about this little one, please take care of yourself, and I'll call the guy to serve tea." With that, the man quietly withdrew.

Li Keding was puzzled, and secretly wondered whose arrangement was this? Mr. Huagai also asked me to come quickly, thinking that there were important people behind me to help me, but it was inconvenient to show up.

The guy served tea and snacks for a while, took the menu again, and asked Li Keding, these are the dishes ordered, see if you need to change them.

Li Keding glanced at it and said, "You don't need to change it, just go on like this." ”

The guy went out in response, Li Keding took out his pocket watch, and while watching the time, he drank tea and waited.

Just arrived at five o'clock, listening to the guy outside bring people into the next room twice, Li Keding put his ear on the thin wall in the middle and listened carefully.

Vaguely, a man with a duck's voice said, "Mr. Tojo, this is Lord Yinyue of Tsukaido Province." ”

Li Keding heard Tsukaido Yin Daoyin, and secretly thought that the Mr. Tojo that Yue Leopard saw here, could it be Tojo Kurasuke?

Hearing the voice of a middle-aged man next door, I thought it was Mr. Tojo greeting Yue Baobao: "Fortunately, fortunately." But it wasn't the voice of Kurasuke Tojo, Li Keding secretly wondered, who would this Mr. Tojo be?

"Tojo-kun doesn't have to be polite, please sit casually." This must be Yue Baobao's voice, Li Keding listened to his voice like a Hong Zhong, secretly thinking that Yue Baobao was full of confidence when he spoke, how could he be a person fifty miles away, it seems that his body is really well maintained.

I heard Tojo say again: "I was able to see Lord Yue today, thanks to the recommendation of Daoist Yuan Xingzi, I thank Daoist Master here." ”

The duck-voiced man said, "Tojo-kun, everyone is your own person, so you don't have to be polite." I, Yuan Xingzi, do things for Lord Yue, this is as it should be, as it should be. "Obviously this is Yuan Xingzi.

Li Keding has already made it clear by now that the person with the duck voice next door is Yuan Xingzi, the person with a voice like Hong Zhong is Yue Baobao, and the other is the Japanese Tojo.

After that, the three of them began to toast, each saying something innocuous and kind.

It wasn't until the time of a cup of tea passed that I heard Tojo talk about the right thing: "Lord Yue, Yuanxing Zhenren, I Tojo Cang has been in China for five years, and I am also a Chinese expert, and I have seen no less than a few hundred Chinese, like Lord Yue and Taoist Chief, but there is no one, the insight and courage of the two make me admire very much, this cup of wine, I will respect two more." ”

"Where, where, Tojo-kun is polite, let's have this drink." Yue Baobao said.

Afterwards, the three of them seemed to have drunk all the wine in the cup, and then Tojo Cangsheng said: "Lord Yue, now that Li Bonan is in prison, I think he will definitely have no good fruit to eat, and our affairs will be much easier in the future." ”

Li Keding listened to Tojo talk about his father, and listened more carefully, for fear of missing a sentence.

"That's what Tojo-kun said." Yuan Xingzi said in a male duck voice, "In the future, our Lord Yue will not forget Tojo-kun." ”

Li Ke can definitely imagine what Yue Baobao looks like now, he must be full of official authority, and he can't help but secretly hate in his heart, this dog official, he is actually mixed up.

But I heard Tojo Kuraoo say: "Thank you, Lord Yue, in the belly of Lord Yue, the prime minister can support the boat, and he is the most cooperative. ”

"Why should Tojo-kun be polite, everyone is their own people, and their interests are one." Suddenly, Yue Baobao asked again, "Can you do things over there reliably?" ”

"Lord Yue, please relax." Tojo Kurao replied, "Li Bonan fell into our hands, how can it be good for him." ”

Yuan Xingzi asked: "We naturally trust Tojo-kun, but what about your military department?" Let's not forget, the dead Suzuki Sasa, although he was just a ronin, was also working for the military department. ”

Tojo Kuraoo heard this, and said arrogantly: "Suzuki Sasa, Taiya is bold, he colluded with Li Bonan, betrayed the interests of the Japanese Empire, and died innocently. Li Bonan has always been against us Japanese, and the military department has long been looking forward to cleaning up Li Bonan. ”

"This is the best, Tojo-kun is thoughtful and full of grasp, and we can rest assured." Yue Baobao's tone was relaxed at first, and then said seriously, "However, this matter, we must not leak the rumors, otherwise not only will our previous efforts be wasted, but it will also be difficult to give an explanation to the society, after all, Li Bonan, the Tang family, Puyun, any of them are not easy to provoke." ”

"My lord, but relax, you also took on the role this time, we remember this." Tojo Kurao said, "After the matter is completed, I promise to persuade the above to make the products of Great Japan in Tianjin the exclusive agent of the Yue family." ”

"Then I'm going to thank Tojo-kun." Yue Baobao smiled.

Tojo Kurao said: "Yes, you and us Japanese are cooperating and win-win. That Li Bonan does not know how to lift up, and he is specifically against our great Japan, in fact, he is too naïve and does not understand the way of cooperation, and it is not surprising that there is such a result. After Tojo finished speaking, the three of them laughed for a while.

Li Keding was angry when he heard this, obviously these three people were directly responsible for framing his father, and it is unknown whether there is a mastermind above.

Continue to listen to them, this time it was Tojo Cangsheng who first stopped laughing and said to Yuan Xingzi: "This time, thanks to the Taoist chief, he is really extraordinary, and he killed the ronin with one move, Li Bonan didn't see what was going on, the ronin was dead, so, Li Bonan couldn't wash it off, this is called: There is no proof of death, and it is not clear to say." ”

Li Keding remembered that his uncle and second uncle had explored the truth and reality, and said that both parties could reconcile his father Li Bonan's immortality, but they could not guarantee that the Japanese could let his father return safely, thinking that there were high-level Japanese interventions in Beijing, and Tianjin could not be the master, otherwise it should not be difficult to rescue his father with the relationship between his uncle and second uncle.

Li Keding's teeth itched with hatred for a long time, and secretly said that these three villains were embarrassed, it was Yuan Xingzi who killed the Japanese ronin, but he planted the blame on my father's head, which is really shameless to the extreme. But for a while, the three of them couldn't help it, thinking that they had to rescue their father, so they had to hold back their anger and prick up their ears to listen.

At this time, Yue Baobao asked: "Tojo-kun, in my opinion, we still can't be careless, the relationship between Puyun is through the sky, if Beiyang comes forward and negotiates with your superiors, can you still resist the pressure here?" ”

"Hahaha..."Tojo Cangsheng burst into a long laugh and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yue, Great Japan will not be swayed by the Beiyang. My upper peak will not give Beiyang this face, we have nothing to ask for Beiyang. ”

"That's good." Yue Baobao and Yuan Xingzi spoke in unison.

Yue Baobao also said: "Li Bonan is a person who is against Great Japan, and it is better for Japan's business in Jinhai to be cut off from the Li family and the Tang family in the future. ”

"Lord Yue." Tojo Kurao said, "I have this intention, and when the matter is over, I will make this request to the above." ”

Li Keding listened to Yue capture the leopard and praise the 21 traitorous treaties, and his heart was even more angry, hating him, as a Chinese, especially a local official, for having such disregard for national interests, if it were not for his father's current fall into the hands of the Japanese, he would have wanted to immediately go over and question Yue Leopard, but in such a situation, Li Keding had no choice but to grit his teeth and have no choice but to endure it.
