Chapter 768: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

The man snorted coldly and said: "Li San, I respect you as a good man, although those three boxes of big cigarettes are worth a lot of money, but for the current Qing Gang, they are not as good as a drop in the bucket, so as long as you are willing to tell the truth and explain the details of the Linglong cottage, I Gu Jiarong will keep you safe." How is the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info? ”
At this point, Wu Zhiyuan concluded that the person who wanted to blackmail Li San in this hall was really Gu Jiarong, and he was the one who secretly manipulated Li San to trade cigarettes.
Li San sneered: "The surname is Gu, I've finished what I should say, don't waste your lips and tongue, let's do it!" ”
After Li San woke up and saw his situation, he had expected that his life was slim, he had been wandering the streets since he was a child, depressed for half his life, empty of blood but useless, and later learned a martial arts, so as to rob the rich and help the poor, but he was not recognized by the world, and his heart was depressed, and now he is facing Gu Jiarong, a mild-looking but ruthless member of the Green Gang, who has long put life and death out of the way.
Gu Jiarong's eyes were cold, his face suddenly gloomy, and the pistol was pressed hard against Li San's head, and he said angrily: "Don't think I dare to shoot!" As soon as the voice fell, the gesture was about to pull the trigger.
At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan flashed out from the door and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Everyone in the hall looked at Wu Zhiyuan outside the door, with a shocked expression on their faces, obviously no one expected that there was another person outside the door.
Among all these people, Gu Jiarong's expression was the most surprised, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhiyuan outside the door, slowly stood up, and said in amazement: "Brother Wu? ”
Wu Zhiyuan strode into the hall, walked in front of Gu Jiarong, didn't speak, and helped Li San up from the ground first.
The blue robe was standing aside, and when he saw Wu Zhiyuan, he recognized at a glance that the two had an encounter in the firewood room, and he said in surprise: "It's you?" Before the words fell, he was about to rush up to stop Wu Zhiyuan.
Gu Jiarong stopped in a loud voice: "Old Five, step aside!" ”
The blue robe was naturally the fifth child in Gu Jiarong's mouth, he glared at Wu Zhiyuan when he heard the sound, and took a few steps back.
Gu Jiarong smiled and said to Wu Zhiyuan: "Brother Wu, why did you come to Qingdao?" While speaking, his eyes stayed on Wu Zhiyuan's movements of supporting Li San for a moment, and the relationship between the two was already well understood.
"Brother Gu, I came to the Sheng family this time for the sake of my brother-in-law." As he spoke, Wu Zhiyuan looked at Li San beside him.
Gu Jiarong guessed that Wu Zhiyuan was here to rescue Li San, but he was silent in his words, pretending to be surprised "Oh", and asked, "Brother Wu and Li San...... Is it also a friendship of worship? ”
The word "also" is naturally inherited from the sworn worship of Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng.
Wu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "My righteous brother is not bad in nature, but he went astray and became obsessed with big cigarettes, and was used by others to engage in big tobacco trading. I came this time to take him away, to find a clean place, and to get rid of his addiction. ”
Gu Jiarong nodded with a kind face and smiled: "The family doesn't talk to each other, Brother Wu and my eldest brother Du Yuesheng are also friends of eight worships, that is my Gu Jiarong's brother, and my brother's business is my Gu Jiarong's business." Brother Wu, if you want to take Li San away, I will not be embarrassed, Li San can leave at any time, I promise that in the future, no one will dare to touch a single hair of him on the land of Qingdao. ”
This Gu Jiarong's age looks much older than Du Yuesheng, but he calls Du Yuesheng the eldest brother, the rules of the rivers and lakes are like this, regardless of age, but based on the experience and ability of the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that Du Yuesheng should be a big name in Shanghai at this time.
"With Brother Gu's words, I am relieved." Wu Zhiyuan nodded in thanks, then changed the conversation and asked, "However, I still have one more question, I hope Brother Gu can help me answer it." ”
Gu Jiarong was stunned and said, "Brother Wu may as well say it directly, I must know everything and say everything." ”
"Okay." Wu Zhiyuan nodded, and asked with a straight face, "You and the people of the Qing Gang are secretly trading big cigarettes here, and Yuesheng, who is far away in Shanghai, doesn't know what you did?" ”
The expression on Gu Jiarong's face became a little ugly when he heard this, because the implication in Wu Zhiyuan's words was that Gu Jiarong bought and sold big cigarettes in Qingdao with Du Yuesheng behind his back. Doing private work behind the boss's back is a very serious crime in the Green Gang.
Gu Jiarong was silent for a long time, the expression on his face gradually softened, and a far-fetched smile appeared on his face, he did not directly answer Wu Zhiyuan's words, but said in a roundabout way: "Brother Wu, there are some things, if you don't do it, no one will do it." Even if you know it's a wrong thing and you don't do it, someone else will do it, and they will do it even harder. Therefore, many times, you can't look at one thing and look at a person, maybe this person does it, and he carries a heavier burden than the world. Speaking of this, the expression on Gu Jiarong's face looked a little helpless, he sighed in a low voice, and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
Gu Jiarong's words were ambiguous and vague, Wu Zhiyuan had no time to ponder carefully at this time, only half understood, and asked in a cold voice: "What do you mean by what the Buddhists say, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell'?" ”
Gu Jiarong thought about it, nodded helplessly, and said, "Almost." ”
Wu Zhiyuan snorted coldly and said, "What you said is really high-sounding. From a big point of view, if it weren't for the government and the opposition** that caused the smoke to run rampant, how could the Manchu Dynasty be easily invaded by foreign devils? If the situation is turbulent and uncertain today, and the smoke spreads again, will it be a repeat of the mistakes of the Manchu Dynasty? In a small way, how many families have been ruined and wives separated by the big smoke? And how many people are obsessed with smoke and sell their houses and fields, and finally expose their bodies to the wilderness because of smoke? I advise you, if you still want to do more yang and accumulate more yin virtue, don't do business anymore! ”
Wu Zhiyuan's words were already quite unkind, Gu Jiarong's face became extremely ugly, as if he wanted to attack, but the anger in his heart was still suppressed by him, he hugged Wu Zhiyuan's fists, and said coldly: "Thank you for mentioning it!" ”
The Tao is not the same, what should be said has been said, Wu Zhiyuan is unwilling to stay a little longer, before that, Gu Jiarong gave him the impression that although he is ruthless, he is righteous and bold, and he is a friend worth making. After today's meeting, Wu Zhiyuan no longer has a good impression of him.
Holding Li San to the door of the hall, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Is Yuesheng still in Shanghai now?" Gu Jiarong nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Wu Zhiyuan nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "The owner of Linglong Cottage is my friend, and I burned the three boxes of cigarettes. After speaking, Wu Zhiyuan helped Li San and walked towards the courtyard.
Seeing Wu Zhiyuan and Li San walking through the courtyard and walking towards the iron gate, the blue robe beside Gu Jiarong asked, "Boss, can't you just let him go like this!" ”
Gu Jiarong's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the backs of Wu Zhiyuan and Li San, and said coldly: "Give him face and let them go." Also, remember what I just said, don't look for Li San's bad luck again. ”
"What about Linglong Cottage?" Blue Shirt asked.
