Li Songming, who had been thinking about it at home for several days, finally quietly came to the outer wall of the Eight Kings Courtyard, ready to climb over the wall and go in to see Ye Yunzhi.

Why did he make this choice?

He didn't believe Zhang Fuzhi, although Jiang Boqi was honest with him, but right now, Jiang Boqi would betray him, after all, he was also under Zhang Fuzhi's control. Moreover, he didn't believe that Jiang Boqi didn't know that the burning of the textile factory had nothing to do with Zhang Fuzhi, maybe it was a play performed by the two together, and the purpose was to kill him.

As for why you killed him? Li Songming couldn't think about it so much, he only knew that the only person who didn't have any conflict of interest with him now was this Ye Yunzhi who was in the army.

He could only go to Ye Yunzhi and ask tentatively.

Let's be a dead horse doctor, anyway, it's already come to this point.

Li Songming rummaged into the Eight Kings Courtyard in embarrassment, hid in Tibet and came to the Osmanthus House, and waited outside the Osmanthus House until Wan Xiangrong and Wan Xianggui's two servants had fallen asleep, and then he knocked on An Wanghai's door tremblingly.

As soon as An Wanghai opened the door, Li Songming directly pushed the door in, and then signaled An Wanghai not to make a sound, and he stuck to the door and listened to the movement outside, for fear of being discovered.

An Wanghai knew that things were as he expected, and Li Songming really came.

He had to come, because a series of things made no one want to believe it, so he could only choose to believe Ye Yunzhi, a stranger, after all, Ye Yunzhi did not have any conflict of interest with him, and he came from outside Yongcheng, so whoever he was would do.

But An Wanghai didn't expect what Li Songming was going to say to him next.

Li Songming turned around and said, "Special Envoy Ye, I came to visit late at night, please forgive me, I have no way out now, so I can only ask for your help." ”

An Wanghai pretended to be surprised: "Boss Li, what are you?" ”

Li Songming didn't hide it, after all, there was no point in concealing it, he was so embarrassed to sneak in, if he still put on a daily shelf, An Wanghai would definitely be even more reluctant to help.

Li Songming said: "Special Envoy Ye, my textile factory was burned, you should know. ”

An Wanghai nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that kind of thing to happen that night, and I feel very guilty in my heart, if I hadn't invited you to the banquet, maybe it wouldn't have happened." ”

Li Songming hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this matter has nothing to do with Special Envoy Ye, but I am indeed being victimized, I can't hide it, my factory was burned, I have to compensate the foreigner 150,000 yuan, unless I sell my property, I will fill this hole." ”

An Wanghai pretended to be puzzled: "What about Master Zhang?" Didn't you go to Zhang Ye? ”

Li Songming smiled bitterly: "Special Envoy Ye, there are some things that I don't know, and you must know it in your heart." ”

An Wanghai asked again: "What about Boss Jiang?" ”

Li Songming didn't explain, just shook his head with a wry smile.

An Wanghai hurriedly said: "Then Boss Li came to me because Ye can help you with anything?" ”

Li Songming hesitated for a while and said: "There is one thing, I want to inform Special Envoy Ye, I think this matter is still pie in the sky, but I do continue to use the money, think about it, I don't know who to discuss, I have to come to Special Envoy Ye, after all, this matter is also related to Special Envoy Ye." ”

An Wanghai was stunned, he didn't expect Li Songming to say this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Songming then repeated the conditions given to him by the Japanese Keiichi Ikeda.

An Wanghai was very surprised, he didn't expect the Japanese to intervene, his original plan was to instigate Li Songming to borrow money from Fengjun and guarantee himself, of course, he knew in his heart that Fengjun would never give 150,000 yuan to help Li Songming, because this would not do Fengjun any benefit.

Therefore, his idea was the same as Jiang Boqi's, that is, to deliberately use the banner of Fengjun to let Li Songming borrow money from Fu Guodong or Sun San.

No matter who you look for, now that Tang Anshu is back, An Wanghai will be easy to control after that, as long as Li Songming is controlled, there will be one less family in the three families of Yongcheng, and they will have an extra chance of winning.

An Wanghai asked: "Boss Li, with all due respect, you yourself know that pies will not fall from the sky, how can this Japanese be willing to take out 150,000 yuan to help you, just to see me, you can come to see me directly, you don't need your introduction, after all, you and I just met." ”

Li Songming's face was embarrassed: "Yes, isn't it?" Therefore, I took the liberty to come to discuss with Special Envoy Ye and ask you to show me the way. ”

An Wanghai understood that Li Songming was here to test himself, and he also wanted to get the answer from himself why the Japanese were looking for him?

Although An Wanghai now has an answer, he can't tell Li Songming directly, so he simply threw the question to Li Songming again, wondering what he was going to do?

An Wanghai asked: "This matter is a trap, you and I know it now, and I don't know why the Japanese want to see me, so, Boss Li, what do you mean?" ”

Li Songming said: "My plan is to take you to meet this Keiichi Ikeda, and after the meeting, I will decide whether to eat the bait he gave me." ”

Knowing that it was bait and swallowing it, it was enough to see what Li Songming was forced to.

An Wanghai pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, you can say that I agree, and then invite this Keiichi Ikeda to come to the Eight Kings Temple for a banquet the day after tomorrow, you know about it, and I will never let others know." ”

Li Songming shook his head and said, "No, the people in the Eight Kings Courtyard are too mixed, so let's choose other places." ”

An Wanghai thought for a while and said, "Then where does Boss Li think it's appropriate?" ”

Li Songming said: "I think that the Japanese will definitely arrange a place that he thinks is reliable, but if he thinks it is reliable, we definitely don't think it is reliable, so I plan to arrange it on the ship." ”

An Wanghai asked, "On the boat?" ”

Li Songming nodded and said: "Fishing boats, ordinary fishing boats, just the three of us, God knows what we know, how about it?" ”

An Wanghai smiled: "It's still Boss Li who is thoughtful." ”

Li Songming said: "Then it's decided, tomorrow evening, you go to the port wharf alone, just wait at the door of the foreigner's tavern at the wharf, I will pick you up." ”

An Wanghai said: "Okay, I will be there on time." ”

Li Songming hugged his fists and said: "Special Envoy Ye's great kindness, Li will never forget it in this life, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring!" ”

An Wanghai also clenched his fists: "Boss Li is polite." ”

After Li Songming left, An Wanghai's sad face covered his whole face, he poured himself a glass of wine, and after drinking it in one go, he stood there in a daze with an empty cup.

The Japanese intervened in Li Songming's affairs, which An Wanghai did not expect, and he was sure that the Japanese were coming for Fengjun Zhang Zuolin.

In today's China, in addition to the revolutionary army with strict military discipline and the support of Soviet Russia, the most powerful people belong to Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zuolin, and among these people, the most stable foundation belongs to Zhang Zuolin.

In the war waged by Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang against Zhang Zuolin, the actual control of the Beiyang government had fallen into the hands of the Feng faction, although the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army did not recognize it.

The fact that the Japanese covet this fertile piece of apprenticeship in the Northeast is a well-known thing, and it does not need to be analyzed at all. However, Zhang Zuolin of the Fengjun army had his so-called wishful thinking, he hoped to use the strength of the Japanese to maintain his power and status, so that the Japanese would come forward to maneuver in front of the Western powers, and not let them provide any help to other warlords.

Although Zhang Zuolin was also worried about the revolutionary army, Soviet Russia, which supported the revolutionary army, was ideologically hostile to the West, so he was not worried that the Western powers would defect to the revolutionary army for the time being, after all, there were still Japanese people secretly maneuvering.

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin self-righteously thought that he was taking advantage of the Japanese.

But the Japanese are not stupid, they are willing to help, and the purpose is obvious.

Zhang Zuolin's attitude is also very clear, he can allow the Japanese to do business in the Northeast, and even emigrate, but he will never allow the Japanese to confuse the concepts of Northeast China and Manchuria, and he will never agree to make the Northeast independent and become a veritable king of the Northeast.

At this juncture, the Japanese Keiichi Ikeda wanted to take the opportunity of Li Songming to meet him, and he had 100 percent to do with this matter.

At present, he has checked the information of Yongcheng in the past ten days, but he knows very little about the information from the outside world, especially in Shanghai.

Why?

Shanghai is the money bag of the whole of China, no matter who is watching, the Western powers are also entrenched here, and the revolutionary army and soldiers will definitely send people to contact the people of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums first, and after obtaining their support, they will come forward to meet with the representatives of the Western countries to test each other's attitude and bottom line.

Representatives of Western countries are also waiting for this day, after all, the slogans of the revolutionary army are loud and harsh for them - down with the powers! Except for the warlords!

The whole country is speculating that if the revolutionary army really hits Shanghai, will they fulfill their promise to drive out the Westerners who have usurped our land and close the concessions?

Some are waiting, others are worrying day and night.

If the revolutionary army really fulfills its promises, then the Western powers, under the maneuver of the Japanese, will definitely collectively defect to the Feng army, support the crumbling Beiyang government, and regard the orthodox revolutionary army as a rebellion and a national cancer.

But what if the revolutionary army reached some kind of agreement with the West?

What will happen?

An Wanghai didn't dare to think too deeply, he didn't feel sleepy, he simply cleaned up, put on his night clothes and quietly left the Eight Kings Courtyard, and went to Qiu Mansion, he had to meet Tang Anshu tonight.

After An Wanghai quietly entered the Qiu Mansion, he came directly to the door of the room where Tang Anshu lived.

He peeked out of the window for a while, and after making sure that Tang Anshu was indeed in the house, he directly pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered the house, An Wanghai was hit by a gun in his head.

An Wanghai hurriedly whispered: "An Shu, it's me!" ”

Tang Anshu was very surprised, put away the gun, and pulled An Wanghai's mask: "Why are you here?" Is there anything urgent? ”

An Wanghai was about to explain, but he glanced around the room and asked, "Why is there only a smell of stinky men in this house?" ”

Tang Anshu frowned and said, "You came at night just to hurt me?" ”

An Wanghai sat down and said, "There is no girl's fat powder smell, eh, what about your wife?" ”

Tang Anshu couldn't cry or laugh, and then he understood what An Wanghai meant: "I said that she is not my wife." ”

An Wanghai shook his head: "This is still modest, it's not your wife, why did you bring it back?" ”
