Chapter 210 Dilemma
Old Man Zhou and I walked into the flower hall hand in hand, only to see that a table of wine banquet had already been set up in the flower hall! Old Man Zhou raised his hand to let me sit down, and then ordered his subordinates to pour wine. I said that since Mr. Zhou has something, I think we should stop drinking, so as not to miss a big event! Old Man Zhou laughed and said, "How can you not drink when you come to me?" In the future, when it spreads, others will think that I have neglected Brother Charlie on Monday! Since Brother Charlie is not used to drinking liquor, I still have a few bottles of foreign wine that others respect! ”。 After saying that, he turned his head and instructed Tuesday to let him go and take out those bottles of foreign wine!
I hurriedly told Old Man Zhou not to bother, but where could I stop it? I only picked a bottle of foreign wine in a pile of foreign wine. Tuesday brought back the rest of the wine, turned around and helped me open the wine, and poured the wine into the glass! I looked down and saw Tuesday pour wine into the bull'seye cup, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, so I asked him if he had a glass for drinking wine in the house. Tuesday apparently didn't understand what I was saying, and asked me, "What kind of glass do you want?" I'll let them find it! ”。 I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Don't look for it, just use this cup!" ”。 I thought to myself, what would my British colleagues think if they saw this?
Old Man Zhou's newly married aunt was standing beside him, holding a chopstick in one hand and a plate in the other! She had just entered the house and changed into a brocade dress, on which was embroidered a colorful phoenix bird, and her head was also smeared with oil, and the comb was shiny, and she pulled a bun behind her head. Her thin body, wearing that wedding dress, looks very wide! There was no smile on her face, and there was no sadness, as if her heart was already dead!
I sat in my seat, so far away that I could smell the faint fragrance of her head, and I searched my memory until I finally decided that it was the scent of jasmine! When she was picking up vegetables, half of her snow-white arms were exposed, white like a lotus root!
While sipping the wine in the bull'seye glass, I secretly wondered what kind of parents were the girls who could bear to push themselves into the fire pit. How can a seventy-year-old man and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl be together? Won't she resist? I felt a deep sorrow, and although she did not ask me for help, I felt a deep fear that I did not dare to look her in the eye! Of course, I wouldn't offend such a vital business partner as Old Man Zhou for her, so will I become an accomplice under this rotten system?
I can't think about it anymore, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary! I breathed a deep sigh of relief, and finally relieved, as a civilized person, of course, I can't see a bad old man committing violence to a young girl, that is indeed too ugly! But what if they put a so-called love coat on their relationship, it seems that everything can be accepted, and even a great love story can be advocated through it.
So everyone can be at ease, eat, drink and have fun, and the image of our civilized people can be preserved! As long as she doesn't cry or make trouble, the world will still be as beautiful as it used to be, and we can't bear to look at the beauty! I talked nonsense with Mr. Zhou casually, and finally said to him, we have eaten this meal and drunk wine, what is the matter with you, now you should tell me! ”。
Mr. Zhou told me that when he married his aunt's wife, he didn't dare to make a big deal, after all, he was almost seventy years old, and it would be a joke to do it again! When Mr. Zhou saw that I was leaving, he also stood up and asked Steward Zhou and them to go down, and walked up to me and said, he heard others say that I have a good relationship with the Germans, I don't know if there is such a thing? I told him that when I was studying in the UK, I was a classmate of Wadsey at the German Embassy.
I saw that Old Man Zhou's eyes lit up, he coughed energetically, took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you have such a classmate, some things are easy to do!" ”。 I asked Mr. Zhou suspiciously, "What do you always want to do?" ”。
He shook his head, and refused to say it directly, but just asked me, "Brother Charlie, how are you playing with the dozen or so things I bought you?" ”。
I explained to him that what he bought for me did not belong to me personally, but to the British Empire! Old Man Zhou waved his hand to interrupt me and said, "I don't care who you belong to, I just ask you if the thing is real?" ”。
I said: "Old man Zhou's things are naturally nothing, everything is a high-quality product!" ”。
Old Man Zhou smiled with satisfaction, and he patted me on the shoulder, trying to make me understand that the reason why I was so lucky was because of his Monday pass! I naturally understand what he means, as the saying goes, this is the truth!
So I put the words of Old Man Zhou in his words: "Old man, I, Charlie Cao, have been taken care of by your old man for so many years, and I don't know how to repay it!" If you always have something, just say it...... I can help, I will definitely help! I can't help, you don't have to worry, maybe someone else can help? ”。
Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "I don't need to find someone else, I will recognize you!" ”。
I then asked him, "What is it that you are talking about?" ”。
Old Man Zhou stretched out his hand from his sleeve, gestured mysteriously, and said, "This ......!" ”。
I asked him, "What's that?" Be clear! ”。
Old Man Zhou gestured again and said, "Is this it?" Why can't you see it? I...... It's about guns! ”。
I was taken aback and asked Mr. Zhou, "What do you want this for?" ”。
Old Man Zhou smiled: "What do you say I want a gun for?" Naturally, it was a killing! ”。
I laughed and said, "There are so many ways to kill people, do you prefer to use a gun?" ”。
When Old Man Zhou saw that I was vague, he said impatiently: "Just say if you can get it!" ”。
I rolled my eyes and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's hard to say, I'll have to probe Wadsey first...... I don't know how many you want? ”。
Old Man Zhou straightened the tips of his braids and said, "Oh, I think I have to ask for at least a hundred mirror boxes!" ”。
I was startled and asked Mr. Zhou, "Why do you want so many guns?" ”。
Old Man Zhou grinned and said, "Brother Charlie, if you don't roll around on the rivers and lakes, you naturally don't understand the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes!" ”。
I heard Mr. Zhou sigh with emotion, so I asked him, what happened? Old Man Zhou's eyes suddenly widened angrily, his eyes stared at me fiercely, and he didn't speak for a long time! I had never seen him so fierce, so I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked him, "Old man Zhou, what's wrong with you?" ”。
As soon as Old Man Zhou was called by me, he immediately came to his senses, and he sighed: "The matter has come to this, and I won't hide it with you!" ”。 It turned out that a few years ago, a mysterious gang called the Jinsha Gang suddenly rose on the rivers and lakes, and the power of this gang expanded rapidly, and soon there was a head-on conflict with the Drill Gang! The two major gangs didn't accept anyone, so they made an appointment to fight it out in Wild Fox Ridge! Old man Zhou, they made full preparations, and also invited two other big help arrays on the rivers and lakes, but they didn't expect that they hadn't arrived at Yehuling yet, so they let the Jinsha Gang set up an ambush, and more than 100 people were killed and injured in the gang, and even the helpers they invited were also killed and injured! Old Man Zhou found that it was impossible for them to win against the Jinsha Gang from the beginning, because the opponent was not holding any knives, guns and sticks, but a long gun and a short cannon of water!
Since they suffered a big loss in Yehuling, the forces of the Drill Gang have withdrawn from the Guanwai, and they originally wanted to defend the pass and keep half of the Drill Gang, but what they never expected was that the Jinsha Gang was pressing forward step by step, and they extended their tentacles into the Guannei! In recent years, Mr. Zhou has been old and frail, indulging in pleasure, and recently married an aunt's wife, so in the attitude towards the Jinsha Gang, Mr. Zhou advocated concession and compromise, which caused the dissatisfaction of the young Zhuang faction of the Chizi Gang, and a bloody storm was brewing inside the Chizi Gang!
Although the old man lost the battle that week, he did not lose control of the Drill Gang, he smelled the smell of danger, and his attitude towards the Jinsha Gang immediately made a 180-degree turn! This made the young Zhuang faction of the main battle of the Drill Gang suddenly chaotic, and an irreconcilable split occurred inside!
Old Man Zhou then planned to use the stall of the all-out war between the Chi Gang and the Jinsha Gang to wipe out the Shaozhuang faction to prevent future troubles! As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and in order to win these two wars at the same time, the old man must buy a large number of arms! But after the old man Zhou prepared a lot of silver, he found that it was not so easy to buy arms, for the rough men who licked the blood with the knife to the hammer, doing business with those foreigners who spoke bird language was no less than playing the piano to the cow! So in their despair, they finally remembered me!
I finally figured out what happened, and understood that helping Mr. Zhou buy arms would certainly make a lot of money, but the risk was also huge! If Old Man Zhou quells the rebellion and regains the power of the Drill Gang, then I am naturally the minister of Old Man Zhou's humerus, and I deserve rewards and flowers! But once things change, what kind of situation I will face, only the devil knows!
I don't want to get involved in the civil strife of the Drill Gang, but if I don't agree, Old Man Zhou will immediately turn against me, what kind of foolproof strategy can I think of to get out safely without annoying him? I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't figure it out! As a last resort, I had to promise Old Man Zhou to go and explore Wadsey's tone first!
