Chapter 508: Bargaining
Old Qin Tou came over today to report the news to Luo Lieyu, and he sent someone to inquire about the news that Liu Honggen, the helmsman of the Manchurian Division, was currently arrested and imprisoned in a prison in Mukden on charges of murder. It is said that he is suspected to be related to the assassination of Japanese businessman Kazuo Sato that happened a few years ago.
Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, before he left, he entrusted the thief door to two people to manage, one is Liu Honggen, he is in charge of the north, and the other is Chang Chai, he is in charge of the south, and now Chang Chai is missing, and Liu Honggen was also arrested for homicide, and all this happened after Chen Haodong reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it should not be a coincidence.
Lao Qin Tou said: "I contacted the brothers of the Manchurian rudder, many backbones have been arrested, and now people are panicking, is this the catastrophe of our theft?"
Luo Lie said: "You don't have to worry, it will be fine to steal the door." ”
Old Qin Tou nodded and said, "Now that the door master is back, everything is fine." ”
A sudden cold snap made Fengtian return to the cold winter overnight, a thin layer of ice formed on the road, vehicles and pedestrians were cautious, but there were still people sliding from time to time, the road in front of the marshal's mansion was sprinkled with water yesterday, the road surface was like a mirror, this has become a hard-hit area, the adjutant is so angry that he is scolding a few guards at the door, and directing them to lay straw on the ice.
When everyone was busy, a black sedan drove over, the guards stepped forward to stop the car, the window fell, Luo Lie, who was wearing a black coat and a sunglasses top hat, glanced at the guard coldly: "Is the marshal there?"
Several guards were shocked by Luo Lie's momentum, and hurriedly went to inform the adjutant, who swaggered to the front of the car: "The handsome man is not something that everyone can see, do you have an appointment in advance?"
Luo Lie handed a business card to the adjutant, who took it and found that the business card was made of pure gold. The adjutant received the business card, and his attention was not on Luo Lie's name at all, and he already had a little more respect for the visitor in his heart.
Luo Lie said: "I am an old friend with Dashuai, and I bother this brother to help me report it." ”
The adjutant nodded, turned away, and in a short time saw him return, looking a little more respectful, and motioned for the guard in front of the door to let him go.
Luo Lie parked the car, and the adjutant had already come over and took the initiative to open the car door for him, and said respectfully: "Mr. Luo, the marshal is waiting for you in the living room on the third floor, and I will guide you." ”
Luo Lie smiled, this adjutant is obviously also a master with eyes.
Xu Beishan was also taken aback when he heard that Luo Hunt was visiting, he hadn't heard this name for some years, he was Luo Gongquan's righteous son, and his eldest apprentice, from this point of view, he should call Luo Hunt a nephew, even if there is no such relationship, he also owes Luo Hunt a favor, Luo Hunt once saved his son Jiale, this matter cannot be erased.
Xu Beishan once heard the news of Luo Lie's disappearance, a person who has been missing for so many years, suddenly appeared, there must be a reason.
Seeing Luo Hunt with his own eyes, Xu Beishan believed that the person in front of him was not pretending, but Luo Hunt in front of him was much thinner than in his impression, and his face was pale, Xu Beishan laughed, his body was getting tougher than a few years ago, but he added some gray hair.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Uncle Shi!"
When Xu Beishan heard him call himself a master instead of a handsome, he understood that Luo Lie wanted a favor this time, he stepped forward, patted Luo Hunt on the shoulder with both hands, and said, "Virtuous nephew, where have you been in the past few years? Why don't you even have any news?"
Luo Lie said: "It's hard to say, I have encountered some troubles, so I can't get out of my body until now, and I don't have time to come to visit my uncle, and I hope that my uncle won't blame me." ”
Xu Beishan said: "What kind words did the family say. He pulled Luo Lie to sit down, asked the guard officer to make tea, and advised: "Go to Minghuchun to book me the best seat, and my grandfather and son will have a few drinks at noon." ”
Luo Lie didn't come empty-handed, and presented the gift to Xu Beishan first, which was a watch.
Xu Beishan is also a person who has seen the world, and he knows that it is worth a lot at a glance, and he said politely: "Virtuous nephew, this gift is too grand, I can't accept it, I can't accept it." ”
Luo Lie said: "Uncle Shi, don't be polite to me, it's not a valuable gift." ”
Xu Beishan accepted it politely, took a sip of tea and said, "Jia Le just went to Beiping a few days ago, and he specially mentioned you. ”
Luo Lie said: "He should be a young man by now." ”
Xu Beishan smiled: "It's not, I've grown taller and become more handsome, taller than me, and sensible, thanks to you." He took the photo of his son with him, found the photo and showed it to Luo Lie, Luo Lie took a look, the little guy in the past has really become a burly teenager, he can't help but think of his daughter, this time he hasn't had time to see her, if the little rainbow knows that he is back, he should not know how happy he should be.
Luo Lie said: "Congratulations to Uncle Shi's successor." ”
Xu Beishan laughed, then shook his head and said, "I'm a dirt bun in his eyes, old man!"
Luo Lie said: "Who doesn't know that you are a famous marshal in Manchuria." ”
Xu Beishan said: "It's just a name, but there are a lot of scolding me over the years." ”
Luo Lie said deliberately: "Is there any?
Xu Beishan said: "Scolding me for colluding with the Japanese, scolding me for betraying the country for glory, too much." ”
Luo Lie said: "I've heard of this. ”
If someone else said this to him, Xu Beishan would have turned his face a long time ago, but he knew that Luo Lie was not an ordinary person, and there was no need to turn his face with him, so he deliberately said: "Virtuous nephew, even you think so?"
Luo Lie said: "Everyone has their own ideas and their own choices, I have never been interested in politics, and I don't bother to ask about things that have nothing to do with me." ”
Xu Beishan said: "You didn't have anything else to do with me?" He didn't believe that Luo Lie suddenly appeared after so long just to visit his uncle.
Luo Lie said: "I have several friends who have been arrested. ”
Xu Beishan said without changing his face: "Who?"
Luo Lie said: "Liu Honggen, have you heard of it?"
Xu Beishan said: "This person, I've really heard that this is a suspect who killed Japanese businessman Yuichi Sato." ”
Luo Lie said: "Is it so serious?"
Xu Beishan said: "It's quite serious, he's your friend?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Uncle Shi knows my relationship with the thief, right?"
If Xu Beishan said that he didn't know, he must be pretending to be stupid, the fact that Luo Lie is the master of the thief door has already spread all over the rivers and lakes, Xu Beishan is from the rivers and lakes, and he has always paid attention to the things on the rivers and lakes, he sighed and said: "I really can't help you with this matter." ”
Luo Lie said: "If it's not easy to do, forget it, I can't embarrass my uncle, or you can arrange for me to meet them?"
Xu Beishan originally thought that Luo Lie would beg him to let them go, but he didn't expect Luo Lie to retreat as advance, and it was not difficult to arrange for Luo Lie to meet with a few people, Xu Beishan nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Liu Honggen was detained as a heavy criminal, and he thought that no one would come to visit him until he died, but he didn't expect that someone would come to visit him, and he didn't expect that it was Luo Lie, the owner of the door who had been missing for three years, to visit him. I was moved that Luo Hunt could come to see him, and I was ashamed that I had the trust of Luo Hunt, not only did he not carry forward the theft, but he couldn't even take care of himself.
Luo Lie said: "Brother Liu, have you suffered a lot?"
Liu Honggen's face was covered with scars and he was severely tortured in prison, but he still hasn't admitted it, he smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm afraid of being wronged, that little Japan really wasn't killed by me." ”
Luo Lie nodded and said, "You know, if you have no grudges and no hatred, you have to have a motive to kill people." ”
Liu Honggen said: "It's good that you come back, the master of the door, we have no leader in the past few years, and I don't have any ability, and now it's really shameless to see you when it comes to this point." ”
Luo Lie said: "You can't say that, the situation is turbulent, and it is not easy to take your brothers to eat well in this environment. ”
Liu Honggen sighed and said, "I didn't even have time to attend the elder's funeral. ”
Luo Lie lowered his voice and said, "My master was killed by someone. ”
Liu Honggen was stunned when he heard this, and an angry look appeared on his face: "How can this be?"
Luo Lie said: "I suspect that the new series of things that have appeared in the burglar door are all carefully planned conspiracy. ”
Liu Honggen said: "Let me find out who is behind the trouble, I will definitely not let him go." After speaking, he thought of his current situation, and he could only just talk about it, he was simply a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and it was difficult to protect himself.
Luo Lie saw his frustration and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, you will always find a way out of trouble." ”
Liu Honggen said: "Leave me alone, they insist on putting the charge on my head, it is the Japanese who died, this crime is not light." He whispered the contact information of the key person in the rudder to Luo Lie.
Xu Beishan expected that Luo Lie would not give up easily, and sure enough, Luo Lie soon visited him for the second time.
This time it was at home, Luo Lie still didn't go straight to the point, but talked about the past with Xu Beishan, and said some things about his grandfather, Xu Beishan was an old fox, thinking that Luo Lie wanted to kidnap himself with feelings, he deliberately diverted the topic and said: "Virtuous nephew, you have seen the world, what do you think of the current domestic situation?"
Luo Lie said: "I don't say the current situation is very good, but I can be sure of the general trend in the future." ”
Xu Beishan said: "Oh? ”
Luo Hunter said: "It won't be long before the great powers of all countries will be driven out, and we China or us Chinese are the masters of our own affairs." ”
Xu Beishan said: "It's easy to say. ”
Luo Lie said: "In the past 5,000 years, China has been invaded by strong enemies countless times, but which time has it not achieved the final victory?"
Xu Beishan thought for a while and said: "That was in the past, knives and guns to knives and guns, bows and arrows to bows and arrows, and now we still use earthen guns and earth cannons, and everyone is an airplane, cannon, and ship, and before we can see that people's shadows have been blown to flesh and blood." ”
Luo Lie said: "Uncle Shi's current practice is to preserve his strength to the maximum?"
Xu Beishan was silent by his question, he sighed and said: "Get by, the best thing in this world is to be a hero, raise your arms and shout, be generous and righteous, but if you really want to do this, what's the point?"
Luo Lie saw that Xu Beishan had his own calculations, he should be dissatisfied with the current situation, but because of the limitation of strength, he could not compete with the Japanese, if he openly confronted him, he could only be wiped out, so he was vain, because of this, Xu Beishan got a traitor's infamy, and it can be seen from Xu Beishan's words that he was waiting for an opportunity. In fact, he is a utilitarian who wants to minimize losses as much as possible and maximize profits.
Luo Lie said: "If everyone thinks like you, I'm afraid the whole of China has already fallen." His words were not too serious, and Xu Beishan was silent for a long time without speaking.
Luo Lie said: "Let's not talk about state affairs, uncle, you give me a clue, is there conclusive evidence in Liu Honggen's case?"
Xu Beishan said: "There is evidence, but it is not sufficient, but the Japanese want him to die." "The trouble lies here, if this case is not involving a Japanese, even if Liu Honggen really kills someone, Xu Beishan has a way to acquit him.
Luo Lie said: "Uncle Shi, I won't hide it from you, I have already made people find out about this matter, someone is behind the scenes, and they are targeting several backbones who steal the door, and Liu Honggen is just one of them." ”
Xu Beishan said: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is indeed a bit tricky." ”
Luo Lie said: "Has Jia Le ever had a headache recently?" A sentence will Xu Beishan stunned, the old treacherous and cunning Xu Beishan immediately realized that Luo Lie would not ask for no reason, speaking of which Jia Le's headache has been plaguing him for many years, almost every year will be intermittent attacks, for which he has found a lot of doctors, but can never find the root of the disease, a few years ago, Luo Lie and Jia Le met, after that time it did be reduced, but it was not eradicated.
Xu Beishan realized that Luo Lie should have kept a hand back then, and he was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart, he thought that Luo Lie was scheming enough, and he actually used this method to blackmail himself.
Luo Lie didn't mean this, he was very clear about Jia Le's situation, regardless of whether Jia Le was Xu Beishan's biological flesh and blood, Feng Jiuqing had already planted this consciousness in Xu Beishan's heart, and in his opinion, Jia Le was undoubtedly his own son.
As for Jia Le's headache, in the final analysis, Feng Jiuqing hid the consciousness of the Black Sun Forbidden Code in his brain domain, and even Jia Le himself didn't know this secret, Luo Lie used his mental power to help Jia Le reduce the pressure in his brain as much as possible when he met Jia Le last time, but Luo Lie couldn't completely repair his brain domain at that time, and now Luo Lie has the Eye of Xuan Bing, which can already heal Jia Le.
If it weren't for Liu Honggen's matter, Luo Lie would also help Jia Le, and even he didn't expect that the development of the situation would turn the matter of treating Jia Le into a bargaining condition.
