Qin Shengzhu's face became slightly serious.

Ma Weisan, behind Ma Weisan is Old Man Wu. Old Man Wu is dead now, and the debt belongs to his son-in-law, and the authority is also to his son-in-law. Mr. Wu has two sons, one is dedicated to studying, and he is far away in the United States across the Pacific Ocean, and the other is Adou, who can't be helped, either in this tobacco house or in that kiln. The only one who can rely on is this son-in-law Ma Weisan, who is a detective in the French Concession.

"The matter of the sixteenth shop was also planned by this woman herself?"

Huo Zuo sneered: "Does she dare?" Even if she dares, can she do it alone? ”

Qin Shengzhu held the cup in his hand and did not speak.

"As soon as Old Man Wu dies, the façade of the big world, the theater, the shops on the west three streets, and his land will all be left."

"Don't forget his debts."

"Debts are to be paid." Huo Zuo said this, slowed his tone, and soaked a fritter into the hot soy milk, "It's not difficult to think about where this storm will be in three days." ”

Qin Shengzhu also had his own considerations, and when he heard this, he asked: "Can't this be all for Ma Weisan to swallow privately." ”

"Definitely not."

"Everyone is staring at the beach, Old Man Wu is gone, his family's debt is difficult, I am also familiar with their family, I can't help if there is a problem, do you say yes."

Huo Zuo said, "Master Qin is generous. ”

"To be a human being is to be moral. He, Wu Sanzhong, can scold me for robbing his business because of the tobacco house and dance hall, but I can't just go down the well and rob his family's territory after he dies. Qin Sheng put down the teacup in his hand after saying this, "Xiao Huo, since the matter of the flour mill has been negotiated, the rest of the finishing work will be handed over to your third uncle." After a while, find a chance to have a meal with Second Young Master Wu, you are about the same age and have something to talk about. His father has just left, and there is an out-of-tune brother-in-law eyeing him, so I should help him anyway. ”

Huo Zuo sneered in his heart, but no, helping a second son who is addicted to big cigarettes and only knows how to spend all his time drinking and having no brains, it is really a good deed that overshadows the sky.

But he still didn't move on his face: "Yes, then I'll contact the third uncle if there's anything." ”

"Hmm." Since Huo Zuo's third uncle was mentioned, Qin Shengzhu asked casually, "By the way, listen to your third uncle, your fourth and fifth uncles have had an accident recently?" ”

Huo Zuo nodded truthfully: "Yes, I did it." ”

"Oh?"

"It has something to do with my dad."

"Then I won't ask." Qin Shengzhu stopped, this breakfast was eaten, and it was almost an hour before and after, and he mentioned some things about several wealthy families in Shanghai, so the head of the Blue Dragon Club arranged everything with his disciples.

Huo Zuo came out of the Qin Mansion, and before going out, he glanced back, but he didn't see Qin Shengzhu's back, but saw Mrs. Qin flashing behind the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.

He withdrew his gaze and said to Shen Yigong, "Let's go." ”

They got into the car together.

After getting into the car, Shen Yigong looked at Huo Zuo's silent face and didn't dare to speak. Although he had been listening to Huo Zuo the whole time just now, he didn't have any eyebrows at all about what Qin Shengzhu talked about with him. The car went all the way to the west, and the sound of the waves could be faintly heard, and when it stopped, Shen Yigong looked out and arrived at the Huangpu River.

Huo Zuo asked the driver to get out of the car and leave, while he sat in the back seat, took a cigarette and lit it and smoked it.

At present, in the vast sea and sky, there are only two people left, Shen Yigong and him.

"Just standing at the table, did you hear anything?"

Shen Yigong said: "I'm stupid, I really don't know. And there are a bunch of names, and I can't figure out who they are. ”

"I've never told you." Huo Zuo leaned against the window on the right, the layers of smoke shrouded his face, looking confused, "For most of the past half a year, I haven't taught you anything else except to learn knives and guns." At that time, you were not a person on the road, but just a temporary step in and did a line of things. When it's over, you're still going to go. ”

"That'...... What about me now? ”

Shen Yigong sat beside him, his hands on his knees.

Huo Zuo's peach blossom eyes glanced at him, and he didn't answer, just handed him a cigarette first. Shen Yigong hesitated for a moment before taking it into his mouth, and was about to light the fire, but the person in front of him approached and swept the breath on his body as well. Huo Zuo lowered his head, bit the cigarette in his mouth lightly, aligned the two cigarette butts, and lit the other one. He snorted a little on Shen Yigong's lips, Shen Yigong bit the cigarette, his brain slowed down for most of the time, and he only took a deep swallow of tobacco-smelling saliva.

When he reacted, the man, the smoke, and the smell of tobacco were all far away from him.

Huo Zuo sat back in his original position: "You are determined to stay, that is the person on the road." There's no way I'm not teaching you. ”

He opened the car door and got out of the car, and the waves in the Huangpu River were surging. Shen Yigong Jin also came down behind him. He leaned against the side of the car, smoking the cigarette in his mouth rawly, looking at the man's clothes that tossed up and down in the wind.

Huo Zuo said: "Wu Sanzhong, the old man Wu who talked about today, you know, right? ”

"I've heard that it's the founder of Taihe Pharmaceutical, and the people sold in the pharmacy are all his family."

"In addition, there are shops, gambling halls, dance halls, theaters, and banks in the big world, all of which are under his name."

"So rich, why does he owe so many debts?"

"Those who don't have money want to be rich, and those who have money want to become rich." Huo Zuo replied, "He is engaged in real estate, and if he loses, he owes debts." The family business is indeed big, and many people in Shanghai have to rely on him, but in the end, everything is over once a person dies. ”

When he turned around, he saw that Shen Yigong didn't speak, and he knew that he still didn't understand a lot. Huo Zuochao walked to the coast, and the muddy yellow water of the Huangpu River rolled across the sand and turned white foam.

"In the past, it was Qin Ye of the Blue Dragon Society who was big on the road, and I was his disciple, even if I didn't speak when I went in and out on weekdays, others would be afraid of three points. But a bastard is a bastard, even if he lives in a mansion and uses it extraordinarily, the foundation is still the same. It is not a matter of a day or two for Qin Ye to want to wash his name, so he has been wanting to associate with Master Wu for a long time, but people can't afford to look down on him. ”

"It's the past, but what about the future?"

"In the future, Ma Weisan will take over Old Man Wu's class, and I'm afraid there will be more than one Blue Dragon Club on the road." Huo Zuoyan finished speaking, a cigarette was almost at the end, and he looked back at Shen Yigong smoking abruptly, and turned sideways, "Shen Yigong, I know you don't know anything, but it doesn't matter." There is no one to be trusted around me, even You Yiman has her own interests to fight for, and she can't stay by my side at any time and be my right and left hand. ”

"Where's Brother Changyu?"

"He's a banker. Although it is my friend, but these blood-stained things? There's no way I'm going to let him know it all. ”

Shen Yigong lowered his head and took a hard puff of his cigarette, and the nicotine made his brain gradually start to drowsy. He raised his head, Huo Zuo was still slightly taller than him. Shen Yigong met the man's eyes and looked at the depth in his eyes: "I, I can." I can do anything, Master. For you, I can do anything. ”

Huo Zuo gently tugged his neckline, reached out and stroked his ear and rubbed the hair on the back of his head, and a slight snort came out of his nasal cavity.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at the ebb and flow of the tide, and let out a long sigh. Shen Yigong looked at his back, pinched his palms, and rubbed the sweat that gradually oozes inside.

When Huo Zuo spoke, he just looked at the distant ship and the horizon and said: "The water of the Huangpu River is really muddy." ”

Shen Yigong didn't seem to be pursuing that answer at the moment, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and spoke to him: "People told me that this is the sea." Is this considered the sea? ”

Huo Zuo smiled: "Of course not." The sea is blue, and it is as muddy as it is here. ”

"Where can you see the blue sea?"

"You want to see the blue sea?" Huo Zuo looked at him. Shen Yigong only said: "I've never seen it." ”

"Then go to Hong Kong and Qingdao."

Shen Yigong stood behind him and listened to him muttering in a low voice: "There will be a chance, just look at the sea once, there will always be a chance." ”

Later, Huo Zuo drove back, and on the way he said that he would teach Shen Yigong how to drive.

After returning from the Huangpu River that time, Shen Yigong always felt that the relationship between him and his master had changed slightly, and he couldn't tell what it was, maybe that subtlety was above the distance. Shen Yigong couldn't take his eyes off him when he saw him in the past, but now he hopes that the other party will not leave his sight.

At dinner in the evening, You Yiman came in a low-key manner, and today he wore a silver-gray cheongsam and held a bun. Cheng Changyu came behind him, and also brought a young colleague from the bank. Cheng Changyu introduced that the young man was a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Economics of Yenching University, named Liang Qingwen.

With this Liang Qingwen here, the things that are talked about at the dinner table are also some industries on the bright side. It is mainly a shop in the west of the big world. In terms of legal and economic problems, Cheng Changyu said that Liang Qingwen had already been drafted and helped solve it. They were all bought from Wu Ershao Wu Qiuwei, and as soon as the old man died, the young master sold them all in order to repay his debts.

"Fortunately, it moved quickly, and Master Qin was already planning to join forces with Wu Qiuwei's side. Now if you buy the shop, he will definitely feel that Ma Weisan is using you to encroach everywhere. Huo Zuo and You Yiman raised their glasses, "Boss You is going to make a fortune." ”

You Yiman smiled elegantly: "Isn't mine yours?" Even if you get rich, it's thanks to your help with Xiao Cheng. ”

Cheng Changyu followed a toast, and after drinking, he asked You Yiman: "Have you thought about what business that shop is?" If you make a living, I'm afraid that Inspector Ma will have to knock you off with this clause and that clause. ”

"What virtue does Ma Weisan have, I don't know? Think about it. You Yiman took a sip of the white wine in the glass, "Open a Western dance hall." ”

"Ballroom?" Huo Zuo raised his eyebrows.

You Yiman nodded: "Yes, Western dance hall!" Do you know Fang Haosheng, the boss who made a fortune in the comprador business? His fourth aunt and wife met me playing mahjong, she was a white woman, not too beautiful! The blond haired one was a dancer, and I told her about it, and she wanted to earn some pocket money. ”

"Oh, Baiyang women have been pulled by you to do business together, awesome Sister Yiman." Cheng Changyu smiled, "What's the name of that Fourth Aunt Fang?" ”

"What is the foreign name and what baby, the Chinese name Fang boss named her Fang Miaoer."

"Fang Miao'er." Huo Zuo propped his head and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, "It seems that Boss Fang likes her very much." Then I see that if you and this aunt are together, the Western dance hall will definitely be prosperous. ”

"Then I'll lend you good words!"

The people in the back room laughed, and Shen Yigong retreated outside in the middle of dinner. He listened to You Yiman's laughter in the room, occasionally listened to Huo Zuo whisper a few words, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky in the sky.

Sitting on the stone steps, somehow, I always feel that the experience of the past half a year seems to be a dream, my mother is gone, he has revenge, and the blood has flowed through his hands. Is this good or bad? I can't tell. As for the state of being alone, I thought I was a rootless floating grass, but now it seems that there is more than that.

He has a master.

Shen Yigong sat quietly with his cheeks propped up. He thinks that he looks at Master like this, and how should Master look at him?

Do you still think he's just a little deflated?

I can't tell.

The first volume is deflated and finished
