Chapter 6: The Man in the Black Bowler Hat
Shangguan Hao, the eldest aunt of the Luo family, sat in his antique shop with Erlang's legs crossed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info He didn't expect that the sky that was cloudless just now would be filled with lead-colored dark clouds in a while.
However, this did not affect his good mood. Half an hour ago, Agui, a guy who went to the countryside to receive the goods, brought him back two baskets full of Qin bricks, which made him extremely excited. He is a person with a keen sense of business, and he knows that this piece of Qin Dynasty things with exquisite workmanship will make him a lot of money.
Thinking of this, he proudly turned the white jade wrench in his hand, leisurely sipped his cigar, and began to pace around the shop. Since the discovery of Qin bricks a few years ago, business in this new market has been good. Whether it's a rich businessman, a warlord, or a lady, all of them have a special affection for this old thing.
In the past few years, he has been paying attention to recycling these treasures, but Shaanxi is too far away, and before he can reach out, the local antique dealer has long taken it for himself. For many sleepless nights, he sighed about it. But now it's different, Shangguan Hao thought proudly, he finally invited back this God of Wealth. Suddenly, he seemed to see the white bills rolling into his pocket.
The sky was sinking as the sky sank, and a cool breeze blew by, mixed with the muffled thunder. Shangguan Hao stopped, tilted his head to look at the account room that was settling accounts, and turned around and entered the inner room. As soon as he picked up the purple clay pot, before the water boiled, he saw the curtain move, and the guy Agui came in.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Hao lifted the teapot and asked impatiently.
"Master, there's a man in black in a top hat in the front hall who wants to see you." Agui said.
"See me?" Shangguan Hao shrugged his eyebrows, as if he was a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong with him?" β
"He said you had a treasure in your hand that you always wanted." Agui said cautiously.
Shangguan Hao forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, lifted the curtain and came to the front hall. The abacus beads in the account room rang loudly, and I saw a man in a black top hat and a black coat standing by the counter.
Ah Gui introduced Shangguan Hao to the man, and the man's cold eyes swept Shangguan Hao from head to toe, and took out a pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Hao.
When Shangguan Hao took the watch, his body shook, and then a broken index finger of the man's left hand jumped into his sight.
"Come with me, sir." Shangguan Hao respectfully and politely invited the man into the inner room.
After Shangguan Hao and the man entered, they only heard a bang, and the door of the inner room was closed. The bookkeeper glanced up in the direction of the doorman, and the crackling of the abacus beads filled the whole shop.
"What do you call a gentleman? Mr. Ishida came to me, but did you have any instructions? Shangguan Hao sat across from the man, adding water to the pot.
The snow-white mist passed through the man's cold and arrogant cheeks, and the man's lips moved slightly, and he said coldly: "You don't need to know who I am." Mr. Ishida, let me ask you, how is that going? β
Shangguan Haocheng said in fear: "It's already going on, please give me some time." When I find the entrance, I'll do it right away. β
The man didn't seem to hear Shangguan Hao's words at all, and said, "Mr. Ishida is afraid that you won't be able to deal with it alone." He has already sent his most elite exploration team, which will arrive tomorrow afternoon. β
Shangguan Hao was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "This is not appropriate." I've always done it myself. Please believe that Mr. Ishida has the ability to get that thing. β
"I'm just a messenger. It's not my business! The man got up, put his pocket watch in his pocket, and went straight out of the shop.
Shangguan Hao was annoyed and helpless waiting for the white vapor that gradually dispersed in the air, only to hear a crisp sound, and the fragments of the purple clay pot were spread out in the corner of the wall.
The mass grave outside Lanzhou City looked gloomy and terrifying under the black sky at this time. When Fei Yunan arrived, the mass grave was already surrounded by soldiers. Fei Yunan looked up at the sky with a gloomy face, smoothed out the folds of his cuffs, and walked towards the place where the body was found.
In the messy grass, white dry bones were piled up everywhere, and Fei Yunan frowned past a decaying tombstone to an even more barren meadow. I saw seven or eight rotten and ragged corpses lying in the grass, and from time to time there were several terrible cries of crows from the trees, which made the gloomy atmosphere even thicker.
Fei Yunan leaned over to check the blue tattoo on the corpse's arm, and Adjutant Chen Sheng followed behind him from time to time talking about what he had discovered at that time. Fei Yunan looked absent-minded, and suddenly he shouted: "This person is still angry." β
Everyone quickly rushed over when they heard the chief's shout, staring curiously in the direction where Fei Yunan was.
"Get him to the hospital." Fei Yunan turned his head and shouted.
Several guards lifted the weak man up and ran forward.
"Wait!" Fei Yunan raised his voice to stop the guards. The guard turned to look at him in confusion, as if waiting for his instructions.
Fei Henan's eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Take him back to Camp No. 5 first." This thing has to be done in secret, whoever dares to talk more, I will kill whom! Do you understand? β
Young Marshal Fei's cold and majestic voice hit the vital point of everyone present, only to see the two soldiers who carried the man gasped, and then left in three steps and two steps.
A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder. Chen Sheng handed the cane to Fei Yunan, who turned his head to stare at the corpses again and strode away from the scene.
The rain crackled down on the window of the infirmary at Camp Five, and a medical officer, sweating profusely, was trying to save a patient who had just been rushed in. But the man seemed to be very sick, and the medical officer rescued him for half an hour, and finally reluctantly walked out of the emergency room.
"How's the patient doing?" Seeing the medical officer walk out, Fei Yunan asked.
The medical officer took off the cotton mask and shook his head regretfully, "Our equipment is limited, and we can't detect the symptoms, I'm afraid... He avoided Fei Yunan's grim gaze and sighed.
"Bastard, does the army pay you so much money every year, does it make you say frustrating words?" Fei Yunan pushed the medical officer away and said angrily.
The medical officer was so frightened by Fei Henan's might that he shuddered and took a few steps back.
"Someone! Pull this useless thing out of me and kill it! β
Fei Yunan gave an order, and the two guards immediately walked in. The medical officer was so frightened that he spread himself on the ground, begging for mercy. Chen Sheng knew that Fei Yunan was angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said a few good words. Fei Yunan calmed his anger and waved his hand to let the medical officer go.
Chen Sheng watched the medical officer leave, and then whispered: "The chief is not angry. For now, we have to find someone who can be trusted and who is a good doctor. β
Fei Yunan nodded, glanced at Chen Sheng and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" β
Chen Sheng approached Fei Yunan and whispered a name. A glimmer of light flashed in Fei Henan's eyes, and he nodded with a deep groan.
The flower banquet in Fei Mansion had to end early because of the rain. The ladies and ladies walked indoors with disappointed faces, complaining about the weather boredly.
The lights in the large living room of the Fei Mansion were turned on, and the servants brought hot coffee and delicate snacks. Some of them gathered in front of the window to watch the rain, some made up a game of cards, but most of the wives gathered around and chattered with their teeth. What Zhang Dashuai has newly married his aunt's wife, Mrs. Li Dujun has a child, and the living room, which was still dull just now, began to be chattering again.
While everyone was immersed in gossip, Mrs. Fei, Wanqi and a few young ladies sat on the sofa on the opposite side of the stairs drinking tea. Mrs. Fei seemed to be very happy surrounded by a group of young ladies, her fair face was peachy, and her cheerful eyes slid over the lively faces of the girls present from time to time, laughing.
Wanqi sat quietly on the sidelines, listening to them unscrupulously telling all kinds of lewd jokes, and seemed absent-minded. Mrs. Fei looked at her restrained face, and then left the crowd and leaned towards her.
"Madame!" Wanqi saw Mrs. Fei coming over and smiled at her.
Mrs. Fei held her hand lovingly, hoping that Wanqi would not think that today's flower banquet would be too noisy.
"How so? Had a great time today. Wanqi said.
"That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Fei said with a smile. At this time, the maid handed Mrs. Fei a hot water bag. Mrs. Fei smiled and said that she would be uncomfortable when she retreated, and she had to have a warm water bag. The two naturally turned the topic to Lao Han's legs.
While chatting, Mrs. Fei suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "Why didn't I think of it?" The old family doctor in our house has retired, and we are missing one. She asked Wanqi if she would like to come to Fei Mansion to work as a family doctor.
Wanqi was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Mrs. Fei thought that Wanqi had come back from abroad, and she was very angry, and felt that a family doctor did not seem to be a decent position.
So, he hurriedly explained: "Doctor Luo, don't get me wrong. Our family is not the family of family doctors. If you come, you will be the guest of honor of our Fei family, and we will not neglect you casually. β
"Don't get me wrong, madam." Wanqi said, "It's just that the clinic was opened by me and someone else, and it has just started, so it's not good to leave suddenly." β
"What's that?" Mrs. Fei said, "Don't worry, we have invited you, and naturally we will not treat the doctor who is your partner with you badly." β
Speaking of this, Wanqi felt that it was inconvenient to refuse head-on, and said that she should consider it.
Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped. The female guests said goodbye one after another and left the Fei Mansion. The mansion, which was still lively just now, was suddenly a lot cleaner, and Mrs. Fei sent Wanqi out, and was about to tell the housekeeper to call a taxi. When I looked up, I saw Chen Sheng walking in.
"Doctor Luo, are you going back?" Chen Sheng asked.
"Yes, I was about to ask Xiao Wang to drive her back in my car." Mrs. Fei said.
"Ma'am, it just so happens that the chief's car is empty. Why don't I send Dr. Luo back?" β
Mrs. Fei smiled: "Is this a coincidence? He turned to Wanqi and said, "Chen Sheng's skills are good, I can trust him." In that case, let him send you. β
Wanqi nodded with a smile. The car roared all the way out of the Fei Mansion and headed south.
Wanqi drank some wine at noon, the smell of wine had not yet dissipated, and she felt dizzy, so she leaned on the car and rested for a while after getting in the car. The car seemed to have been walking for a long time, Wanqi felt slightly strange, opened her eyes and looked out the window, and couldn't help but be startled.
It turned out that the car was driving in a remote countryside at this timeγγγγγγ
