Chapter 11: The Japanese

"The fourth aunt is too exalted to me," Du Qilin refused: "Although I sympathize with your plight, but you are my father's aunt and wife, don't say it, there are still the flesh and blood of the Du family in your belly, if you leave, my father will really cut me, so I can't help you, you can ask for another master." ”

The fourth aunt nodded, silently walked to Du Qilin's side from below, and said, "Then let's make a deal, I'll tell you a secret, you send me out of Shanghai, okay?" ”

"Secret?"

In fact, Du Qilin really sympathizes with the fourth aunt, but Du Qilin's current identity does not allow him to do anything wrong, besides, this person is still his father's aunt's wife, and there are children, if he really helps but fails, does Du Qilin want to die to apologize?

"Yes."

Du Qilin became interested: "What kind of secret do you think can make me feel that it is an equivalent transaction?" ”

The fourth aunt smiled too much and said mysteriously: "If I say that I know who is going to kill you, what if this deal is not completed?" ”

The Marshal's Mansion.

"Why hasn't the fourth sister come back yet?" The fifth aunt yawned in the living room, but she still held on to her spirit and waited with the handsome.

The third aunt saw the impatience of the fifth aunt, and said sarcastically: "Yo, wouldn't it be over if we didn't go to sleep if we didn't equal?" I'll just accompany Dashuai. ”

Du Huancheng knew that there were many more quarrels in places where women gathered than in other places, and after so many years, he still couldn't get used to it.

"Alright..."

"Big marshal, the young marshal and the fourth aunt are back together." The servant guarding the doorway reported.

Du Qilin and the fourth aunt entered the door together, and saw Du Huancheng and the two aunts sitting in the living room, looking like they were waiting for them?

"Dad, the third aunt, the fifth aunt, what are you doing here?" Du Qilin opened his mouth worriedly, looking at Du Huancheng's expression, Du Qilin didn't see anything.

"Why did you come back together?" Du Huancheng asked.

The fourth aunt smiled too much: "I didn't come back together, my car was behind the Qilin, and I found out that it was the Qilin's car when I got to the door." ”

"I went to the hospital today when I was not feeling well, and the doctor said that it was not a very important disease, so I came back with some medicine. I wanted to go home, but I met Mrs. Chen in the hospital, so we went shopping and came back late, which made Dashuai worried. The fourth aunt took off her mink coat that was draped outside, sat down beside Du Huancheng, and explained carefully.

The third aunt was too worried: "What kind of illness is it?" Is it enough to just take medicine? ”

"Third sister, the doctor just said that I had a bad stomach, nothing wrong." The fourth aunt smiled and said, "Let the third sister accompany Dashuai and wait for me to come back, I'm really sorry, I knew that I should have sent someone back to say it." ”

"Fourth sister, I really wish I had known earlier!" The fifth aunt stood up too displeased: "Since I'm back, I'm going to sleep, I don't stop every day, I don't know what to do!" ”

"If you don't say a word, haven't we waited for you on weekdays?" The third aunt was too upset for the fourth aunt, but the fifth aunt didn't listen to it too much, so she went back to the room.

Du Huancheng saw that the fourth aunt's face was really not good-looking, and naturally he didn't suspect that she went to the hospital, he looked at Du Qilin and asked, "Who did you fool around with today?" Didn't you send Chu Xia back to Baoguang Temple and come back? ”

"I'm going to play with Lin Jianbin ." Du Qilin replied honestly: "I accompanied Aunt Chu to eat fast, and she knelt in front of the Buddha for an hour, and finally got out and came back and was blocked by Lin Jianbin on the road, saying that I must drink with me, I couldn't escape, so I drank with him, and then I ran into the fourth aunt when I came back." ”

"Isn't that kid Jianbin the most hated to be with you?" Du Huancheng was suspicious: "In the past, he avoided walking when he saw you, and you didn't like to talk to him, why did you drink together today?" ”

"How do I know?" Du Qilin said inexplicably: "He stopped me and had to drink with me, you asked me to go out and meet people more, I just caught up and didn't push back, Dad, what do you mean?" Where do you think I'm fooling around? ”

"Alright, okay, have you eaten?" The third aunt came out to play a round: "You must have forgotten to eat while drinking, right?" I'll ask the cook to prepare some light sobering wine for you, and sleep well at night. ”

Du Qilin glanced at Du Huancheng and said with a smile: "Thank you, third aunt." ”

"Okay, don't keep a straight face, I bought a lot of beautiful clothes, handsome, I'll try to show you, okay?" The fourth aunt also said with a smile.

The fourth aunt rarely gave Du Huancheng a good look, and today's change of normalcy also made Du Huancheng feel comfortable, so he didn't care about Du Qilin and followed the fourth aunt back to the room.

The third aunt watched the two of them leave, and her heart had no waves, so she asked the cook to prepare the food and stay in the living room to talk to Du Qilin.

"Sending the second sister to Baoguang Temple today is smooth, right?"

Du Qilin nodded: "Well, it's going well." When I got there, I just caught up with the fasting meal, there was no oil at all, and one or two meals were enough, and I didn't know how Aunt Chu ate for so long. ”

"Your Aunt Chu was born to the Buddha, and she hopes to be alone with the green lantern for the rest of her life, it is her will, you can't talk like that!" The third aunt patted Du Qilin's head: "Besides, if you eat a meal, you will be miserable, even if you don't believe it, you can't slander it, you know?" ”

Du Qilin touched his head aggrievedly, and said in a sullen voice: "I know, I just feel sorry for Aunt Chu, and I'm worried that she won't eat well over there!" ”

"The second sister has always had her own opinions, since she is willing to go, she is naturally ready to endure hardships, and besides, she has been going for three years, if you want to say hardships, it is not your turn to come, right?"

"Well, that makes sense." Du Qilin humbly accepted.

The third aunt looked at Du Qilin as he was five years ago, and he was a child who looked mature but could never grow up, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Qilin, the burden on your shoulders will get heavier and heavier in the future, the third aunt can't help you anything, I can only tell you, you must be careful with the people around you in the future, and you can't trust anyone." ”

"Well, Kirin will keep it in mind." Du Qilin knew that the third aunt was really for his good, even if she had her own purpose, but for him, it had no effect.

"Okay, it's time to eat, you go to the dining room to eat, I'm tired and go up to rest, remember to eat and go to bed after eating, you know?"

"Hmm."

Du Qilin sat at the huge dining table, with rich food on the table, but he had no appetite for eating, but in his eyes, there was more murderous intent.

Early the next morning, Du Qilin was woken up by the loud voice of Lin Jianbin downstairs before he got up, Du Qilin opened his eyes in a daze, and was a little worried that Lin Jianbin would be killed in the Dashuai Mansion.

But Lin Jianbin actually came to the door of his room alive, and slapped the door "popping", which made Du Qilin's head hurt.

Du Qilin sat up resentfully, walked to the door quickly, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Lin Jianbin, what do you want to do?" ”

"I see, I know what you asked me yesterday!" Lin Jianbin said excitedly, Du Qilin was worried that the wall had ears, so he pulled Lin Jianbin over and pulled him into the room.

"What are you doing?" Du Qilin hated that iron could not be made of steel and said: "What do you think is the place of the Great Marshal's Mansion?" ”

Lin Jianbin also knew that he had done something wrong and kept silent.

"I don't mean to be angry with you, it's just that you woke me up in the morning, and you forgot that this is the Marshal's Mansion, I'm just very unhappy." Du Qilin took a few deep breaths, then sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Forget it, you just said that you know the answer to my question yesterday?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Jianbin said with a smile: "I thought about it for a night yesterday, thinking back and forth, and finally figured it out. ”

"So who's it?"

"Japanese!" Lin Jianbin grinned and said: "In the public concession, it is indeed the world of warlords, but if you want to talk about another force, it is not the Japanese." ”

"Japanese?" Du Qilin was surprised: "How powerful are the Japanese in Shanghai? ”

"I was skeptical at first, but then I realized that Japan is really powerful." Lin Jianbin said seriously: "I don't know if you know, there is a trading company in Shanghai called Fujino Zhusha, which was opened by the Japanese. And this trading company not only cooperates with the warlords but also with the gangs of the French, and even more than half of the wharves in Shanghai have their shares, which means that nearly half of Shanghai's economy is in the hands of the Japanese. ”

After listening to Lin Jianbin 's analysis, Du Qilin instantly solved his puzzles, according to Lin Jianbin 's words, in Shanghai, the economic power is actually in the hands of the Japanese, this force can be imagined, several times larger than the gang's, right?

"Japan holds economic power, and my father holds political power and military power, does that mean that?"

Lin Jianbin shook his head: "It's not like this, Japan's economic strength is really strong, but Japan's economic power depends on warlords and gangs, in fact, the Japanese don't have money at all, and the rich ones are the big marshals and white masters, so Japan's forces will often be ignored, but this force controls the economy and will become pivotal." ”

"So that's the case..."Du Qilin is completely clear, it seems that what Sheng Yinyuan said should be the Japanese: "No wonder sometimes I see the Japanese in Shanghai, it turns out that they have confidence..."

"But Kirin, the Japanese are not easy to mess with." Lin Jianbin hesitated.

Du Qilin sneered: "If you are a powerful man on the territory of the Chinese, I don't care if he is good or not!" ”

"But the handsome means cooperation, if..."

"What do you want?" Du Qilin smiled: "The Japanese haven't provoked me yet, and I won't take the initiative to provoke them." Besides, my dad doesn't necessarily want to really cooperate with them, and I'll talk about it later, I just want to know what other forces there are, don't worry. ”

Hearing Du Qilin say that, Lin Jianbin was relieved, he was really afraid that Du Qilin would move the Japanese.
