Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Poor Dagger
Chen Fengnian didn't go back to the small mansion, but when the snail was in a hurry and ran fast, he swooped and hid in the Peace Hotel, thinking that when the eldest brother and father finished cooking Wan Xianshan, they would probably have to free up their hands to catch themselves back.
This is not afraid, they are all their own family, the big deal is to beat him back, he has his mother, second sister-in-law and sister-in-law as backing, he should not be beaten into a cat, and he can lie at home for two days.
In principle, he didn't expect a thousand or ten thousand, and he didn't expect that if he hid, there would be chaos outside.
It has messed up people's hearts and the world.
He thought he was hiding very hidden, hiding seamlessly, but the second young grandmother at home said it clearly, the third young master was in a hurry to leave as soon as he came back, and when he left, he was silent, he didn't alarm anyone, he didn't know if he had enough money on his body, and whether he had warm clothes, Chen Annian grabbed a few little guys who often went out with him and asked, the little guys themselves were also slow, and shook their heads and said that they didn't know which direction the third young master went, and asking was equivalent to asking in vain.
Cowardly and afraid that things are not done by the Chen family, not to mention that the dead bodies were thrown at the door of the house, and the youngest son who knew the dead corpse ran away without knowing each other, Chen Kangbai was on crutches, shaking his beard with anger, and put down the cruel words to let him not enter this house again, Mrs. Chen on the side felt sorry for the younger son, but she also knew that her son had made a mistake and was not even, and the master was angry, and it was useless to persuade him.
glared at the second daughter-in-law fiercely, her old face collapsed and collapsed, and she didn't open her mouth after all.
The next day, Chen Kangbai also had breakfast, noon and dinner as usual, and by the way, he called back the second son Runnian who was dancing in the dance hall, and angrily scolded him for not seeking progress, let alone setting an example for his son, and finally vented some of his anger, and was able to calmly deal with the outside business with An Nian, as well as the mess.
On the third day, the mess could not be cleaned up, which made people irritable, Chen Annian went out in the car, did not get any useful information from the woman in the small mansion, and during the period, because he did not speak well, he almost had a quarrel with the singer.
On the fourth day, Mrs. Chen was anxious and privately began to ask people to go out to look for it.
On the fifth day, the person sent out to find it not only returned empty-handed, but also brought back a few shadowy gossip - it turned out that the third young master did not leave by himself, but was kidnapped by someone who had the opportunity to do so!
Such a source is not reliable, and the authenticity is also very discounted, but Mrs. Chen can't stand this kind of unfounded rumors, so she walked around the house with a handkerchief, crying and wiping her tears, shouting that the master would find someone, and she would also find her heart and soul treasure in the sword mountain and the sea of fire.
Mr. Liu sent a telegram from Nanjing, and Chief Li received a deep will from the secretariat, saying that unless the batch of guns at the wharf was delivered in good condition, he would strongly question the route from Shanghai to Nanjing, believing that it would be better to terminate their cooperation as soon as possible.
And when Chen Kangbai was anxious all day long, Wan Xianshan sent his subordinates here to send a letter written by the third young master, which reported safety, but the handwriting was very sloppy, and there was a red handprint on the payment, Mrs. Chen thought it was blood at first glance, and she was about to fall while holding her chest, and it took a long time to see that this was ink, as bright red as blood.
At this time, not only Mrs. Chen, but also Chen Kangbai inevitably panicked, for fear that if his son fell into the hands of Wan Xianshan accidentally, he would ask the white-haired person to send the black-haired person.
Chen Fengnian, the owner of the letter, was eating and drinking well at the Peace Hotel, and a subordinate of the family who was born in the family touched his traces out of nowhere, and told him that the eldest young master asked him to write a note to go back to his wife to report his safety, so he obediently took out a page of letter paper and wrote, never thinking that the family would turn it on his back because of a letter.
He thought that the Peace Hotel was very peaceful, and as long as he was okay, everyone would be fine.
However, the wall is down and everyone pushes this point is the road of the ages, and you must not be in a hurry in case of trouble, because the worse is still to come: the boss Huang who 'can be excluded' in Chen Annian's mouth earlier finally lived up to expectations at this time, chose to change the wall, and defected.
They originally hid the private warehouse at the wharf very tightly, but it was still dug out, and everything that could be destroyed was destroyed, and now there was no way to deal with Nanjing, and even the Chen family had to pay to make up for this loss, maybe they couldn't block it by selling Guangxin Bank.
It's good now, the small hole is stuck in the big hole, the debt is not a debt, and it is not repaid, and it is not repaid, and it is enough to die.
Wan Xianshan once praised Chen Kangbai for growing a hard bone, a bit of an old-fashioned literati who is poor and can not move the mighty and unyielding bones, this praise must not be a vain boast, because he is really a hard bone, after experiencing the double bad news that his youngest son was missing and tied up, all the goods were not answered, and all were destroyed in the warehouse, this old man was not so angry that he was hospitalized with a stroke, but simply spit blood and fainted on the spot, and was carried upstairs by the housekeeper to lie down and pinch people.
Dad fell and still has a son, and only Chen Annian is still useful among the three sons, and there is not much nonsense at the moment, his mother was hugged back by two daughters-in-law and cried, he himself took the housekeeper out of the door, ready to inspect the warehouse first, the warehouse can be saved, and if he can't save it, he will think about how to save the third brother - no matter what, of the two bad news, he must stop at least one.
The car was speeding away, even copying the trail and the shortcut, he ran to the warehouse to see, and felt that there was no help, the housekeeper said that it was not saved, and the man also said that it was not saved, so many guns, so many medicines, even if a tenth of it was transferred, a tenth is not a small amount!
Chen Annian's brain and cavity were hollow together, and there was only a hollow in the face of huge losses, he got into the car in despair, and simply ignored the housekeeper's persuasion - it's already like this, there is no point in persuading again, and the people who are persuaded want to commit suicide after hearing too much.
Fortunately, his gradually confused heart was finally no longer blank after three minutes, the butler sat on the left side, and was the first person to bleed after the two cars collided head-on, and the blood soaked the carriage in an instant, Chen Annian had the body of the butler as a cover, and there was still a breath of heat, and he was dragged out of the car like a rag.
The last face he saw before he died was that of an ugly ghost, with a scar across the strait, and the man who grabbed him had a pair of knife-like eyes, which looked at him coldly, not at the eyes of a living person.
Very simple procedures, very sloppy to dispose of the scene, Hong Shuangxi obeyed the will of the boss, and did not intend to leave any alive, so the Chen family went out with the eldest young master today The housekeeper and a few subordinates all poured blood mold, and the most intelligent and most able to mobilize the strength of the eldest young master, is to enjoy special treatment, in just three minutes, was put into a sack filled with cement, and thrown into the Huangpu River, there is no foam in the river, there is no trace, this kind of death is a little aggrieved for a rising young talent.
This kind of thing is too smooth and boring, even a person like Hong Shuangxi, who is not emotionally rich, can't help but sigh a wave of impermanence in the world, thinking about how erosive the dinner party in the Chen Mansion was a few days ago, how fast the wall of the house collapsed at this moment, and the trance was cooking oil with its fierce fire, which was bound to burn everyone in the Chen family one by one.
Chen Kangbai was pressed and pinched in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, he heard that someone was salvaging the body on the edge of the dock, and the housekeeper had already fished it up.
He held his breath in his throat for three days, and this time it had no effect when he pinched someone again, because he couldn't breathe.
Wan Xianshan sat in the house early that morning eating fritters and drinking soy milk, drinking bowl after bowl, during which he also divided two points patiently to listen to Ah Da's report on the current situation of the Chen family, after hearing that Chen Annian and Chen Kangbai died one after another, distant relatives who couldn't hit the eight poles came to the door to loot the property, and even scared the two young grandmothers to the major news of premature birth, and said "oh yo ho", I think this thing sounds too funny, just can be used for dinner, the freshly ground soy milk on the table has bottomed out, but he has a good appetite, and he can drink another bowl.
But when Ah Da finished reporting everything, he slowly felt that it was not funny.
"The big ones are doing a good job, and the harvest is clean, but where are the second ones?" Wan Xianshan put down the soy milk and sneered, his eyes were not happy, but he was happy on the surface: "Flying in front of you?" β
"I didn't watch it carefully, and I ran away." Hong Shuangxi was afraid of being blamed, so he hurriedly replied: "His wife was sent to the hospital for rescue, and the nurse came out to ask whether Bao Da or Bao Xiao, and he couldn't ask anyone for a long time, only to find that this bad guy ran away on the front foot after entering the hospital." β
Wan Xianshan glanced at him on stilts, put his left hand on his lap, and knocked his index finger on the glass table again: "So, you came here to tell me this?" β
"He must have run to the concubine." Hong Shuangxi didn't dare to say that his subordinates were lost with someone, and hurriedly added: "He has three concubines, all of whom are young ladies in the dance hall, and two of them have bought houses outside, and we have been with him for so many days before, and we have already found out." β
Wan Xianshan said: "Three concubines, I count you for three days, and if you can't kill Chen Runnian in three days, you will die for him." β
Hong Shuangxi was anxious to take Chen Runnian out, but Wan Xianshan asked him not to worry now, and casually mentioned it and asked him what the date was today.
He told the truth, Wan Xianshan nodded and took out the pocket watch to the right time, and finally patted his thigh, looking more happy.
A little happier, that expression might be called schadenfreude.
"Let's go, let's watch the play first!" He said.
Hong Shuangxi turned around and immediately went out to prepare the car.
In fact, there was another person in the dialogue, he didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask any more, he thought to himself that the first two big ones, Wan Xianshan must see the dead man, but the last small one, even if it loses its use value, should be kept, because the third young master is really a very interesting person, and it is also very fun to be locked up in the house and have a free time to enjoy it - a rich kid actually eats ignorance and innocence, he doesn't know if he has a brain, anyway, when Chen Fengnian releases his charm at a woman with that little white face, it is really naΓ―ve, really ignorant.
The news of Chen Kangbai's sudden death spread quickly, and its power was the same as Sun Wukong pulling out the Dinghai God Needle, which immediately caused chaos in the business world.
The backstage of the singing opera is all in the flow, this farce in the world sometimes looks better than what is written in the play, the people in the opera team are all in the lower ninth rate, and they are naturally more willing to see the jokes of the upper class, when Su Peifu was wearing a single dress and holding a newspaper and reciting aloud, Wang Peilong was hooking the two oblique hooks in the mirror, thinking while hooking, I want to sing the legend of the White Snake today, Qi Laoba is really making money and making crazy money with her drama troupe, he thinks well, there is still one play after singing, and he specially picks her impatient play to match, and fights exquisitely and steals fairy grass, Crying again and breaking the bridge and saying goodbye, and finally flooding the golden mountains and flooding the sea of law, these are all what she wants to sing today, it is really tiring to think about it....... That's right, Feng Nian promised to send a flower basket, why didn't he send it yet, did he forget what day it was?
Wang Peilong hesitated in the mirror, her expression was as ignorant as an out-of-body soul, only when Su Peifu read the eight big words "Chen's defeat, the city-mayor fell", she suddenly became excited, as if she saw her own face in the mirror, there were other people's behind her face, and others were not others, it happened to be Wan Xianshan's face.
The sketching brush stopped in her hand, and now she was completely enlightened.
