Chapter 2: Questioning the Warlords

readx;

As soon as the man got out of the car, the guards around him put a nicknamed school coat on him, and then silently stepped aside and stood with his hands down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info left only the burly and tall figure of the man.

In the heavy snow, the man's figure was extremely cold and arrogant, and he paced forward step by step. Every step carries the momentum of mountains and rivers that cannot be ignored. Finally stopped at the widest part of the pier and stood still.

Long Jinyu stood five meters away, and although he was a little away, he still felt the man's powerful aura. The man's elaborate face was clearly defined, and his obsidian-like eyes shone with an awe-inspiring heroic aura. There was a look as sharp as a falcon hidden under the cold and calm eyes, and the whole person was full of danger that no one should enter.

Half-squinting his eyes, Yan Beiquan's whole person is treacherous, cold, arrogant, wild and uninhibited, and not angry and arrogant.

"Sir, I don't know if the chief has arrived, and the old man has lost his welcome!" The old man from before stepped forward in three steps and two steps, bowed his hand slightly, and was respectful.

The man's eyes did not change, and he said in a cold voice: "Boss Xing is polite." The man's magnetic voice was low and cold, and it was soul-stirring. Yan Beiquan just said a polite word, and he didn't care about Xing Zhenshan's enthusiasm, which made Xing Zhenshan's face sink.

Ji Junmo, a staff officer who got off the car with Yan Beiquan on the side, also saw Xing Zhenshan's sudden face, and had a nickname in Jiangbei: the head snake of the jade-faced fox on the dock, he was ruthless and decisive, and everyone in Beijiang knew it. And that person is Xing Zhenshan, who wants to mix in the dock, a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and it will be smooth sailing to please him, but if he offends him, he can use all means to make your life here worse than death.

"I don't know why you military masters are here?"

"That's right, we chased down a key criminal and chased it all the way here, so we also asked Xing Lao to cooperate with the Northern Army in the search. Ji Junmo took two steps forward and replied with a light smile on behalf of Yan Beiquan.

"Oh? yes, that's. We should fully cooperate with the chief's routine business, but I don't know how the chief wants to investigate?" Xing Zhenshan looked at them tentatively, with a harmless sneer on his old face.

Yan Beiquan's cold face was still as calm as water, without any fluctuations. He and Ji Junmo glanced at each other, and Ji Junmo understood on the side, and immediately ordered the soldiers to search the entire Beijiang wharf one by one. The soldiers who received the instructions scattered in all directions, carefully searching every nook and cranny of the goods, every storehouse, etc. However, the search was fruitless, and a group of soldiers quickly searched the location of the blood-clothed man.

Seeing this, Long Jinyu's heart tightened, he had patronized those sergeants just now, but he didn't expect that they were coming for the blood-clothed people, and his heart was about to miss half a beat. Very nervous.

A soldier with a spear approached the row of goods and raised his hand to lift the burlap bag that covered it, but was stopped by a voice in time.

"Stop. Xing Zhenshan's face was gloomy, and he turned to Yan Beiquan and said, "It's just some porcelain, I'm afraid of bumping, so it's tightly sealed." Don't open it, right?"

"Of course, we should cooperate with the chief's routine business, but this batch of porcelain belongs to the Chu family in Dongcheng, and it is not easy to explain it if it is a little bumpy and old!" The current head of the Chu family is loyal, benevolent, and very appealing. The wife of the Chu family, Yan, is the queen of the former dynasty, the royal Shu Ning Gege, the emperor's relatives. Although it is the Republic of China, people still have a very strong concept of feudal imperialism. And the Chu family has been in business for many years, and there are many businesses under it, which plays a pivotal role in the business community of Beiping.

The Chu family has a deep relationship with Xing Zhenshan, and many of the Chu family's goods in and out are handed over to Xing Zhenshan. Yan Beiquan's eyes were half-narrowed, he looked at the pile of items, and said, "It's okay, Yan just let the brothers pay attention." ”

"But ......"

"Since it is possible for the prisoner to hide here, if Yan Mou looks forward and thinks and lets the thief go, isn't he irresponsible to the people and Beihua City, what do you say?" Yan Beiquan blocked Xing Zhenshan's words, his eyes were firm and unquestionable.

No matter how powerful the Chu family is here, Yan Beiquan doesn't have to scruples. He is a soldier, the Chu family is a businessman, and no matter how big the merchant is, he will not dare to fight with the army. Moreover, the Northern Army has just entered Beihua City, and the foundation is still unstable, and now is the time to establish power. If they really find out who they are looking for this time, they can take this opportunity to suppress Xing Zhenshan, the head snake of the land, and the Chu family's forces, killing two birds with one stone.

With Yan Beiquan's acquiescence, the soldiers were even more unscrupulous, searching all places step by step. Long Jinyu looked at this scene in a daze, her fair-skinned softness clutched her clothes tightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of panic came to her heart.

"Stop......" The girl stopped the person who was about to open the sack, and for a moment everyone's eyes were drawn to the gentle but exceptionally clear female voice.

Although he was only in a hurry with that person, he didn't know him. But for some reason, when he learned that the person to be arrested might be him, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and silently pinched and sweated for him.

"Don't ....." The girl's clear and graceful voice sounded in the cold air again, and Long Jinyu stepped on the deep and shallow snow under her feet to stand in front of the searching soldiers. This move didn't make everyone stunned for a moment, and even Long Jinyan looked at her with a little more doubts. Sensing his brother's questioning gaze, Long Jinyu's eyes were a little evasive, and her palms were clenched with wet sweat.

Despite this, the girl remained calm, a pair of clear ink eyes skimmed through many chaotic sights, looked straight at the proud and lonely man in the snow, and said in a cold tone: "You can't touch other people's things casually, as an official, don't you know that it is illegal to touch other people's things without their consent?"

The girl's questioning attracted the attention of the tall figure not far away, and her deep eyes were cold and silent, looking towards the source of the sound.

But seeing that the girl's thin figure in the wind and snow was like a bright moon, standing without fear of the cold wind, bright and beautiful. The long black hair was obediently draped behind him, and a trace of silk was scattered on his chest and moved slightly in the wind.

The delicate melon seeds have delicate facial features, clear eyes like bright stars in the dark night, eyebrows like distant mountains without depiction, and lips like sand without dotting.

The neckline of the Ruyi placket buckle is embroidered with a light and elegant magnolia flower on the left and right, covering the white and flawless jade neck. There is a half-worn gray windbreaker on the outside, although the clothes are simple, but they can't hide the girl's elegant and quiet temperament.

"Performing official duties is also law enforcement. Yan Beiquan said a few words coldly, but his eyes never left the girl.

"Girl, we're just going to search, and nothing has to lose, I promise you. Ji Junmo smiled kindly and said with great certainty.

"That's not ......" Long Jinyu still maintained a protective form, as if he would be robbed of the treasure behind him as soon as he relaxed.

"Jinyu, don't mess around. Long Jinyan was originally walking with Xing Zhenshan, but he saw Long Jinyu like this. When he came over at the moment, he didn't expect his little sister to be so bold and dare to stop the warlord.

"Do you know how these goods are stacked neatly and loaded and shipped? It's the result of so many workers with their families working in the snow and wind. They have worked so hard, how can you destroy them at will, and if they damage the contents of them, how can you make them account to the owner?

These people are already hungry and poor, if they are punished by the owner for missing their jobs, how can you let them live old and young?"

"I think that you soldiers are simply relying on your own power, and you don't know the suffering of the people, so you don't treat them as human beings......"

"Jinyu don't say a word......" Long Jinyu drank lightly what Long Jinyu was still about to say, a little angry.

"Presumptuous. When the dog was fighting just now, the officer who was a fox and a fake tiger heard Long Jinyu's words, and immediately became angry, and took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it directly at the girl's eyebrows.

Slightly stunned, panic flashed between Long Jinyu's frowning eyebrows. Looking at the swarthy muzzle of the gun, he felt chills all over his body.

"As a soldier, I don't want to defend my family and country, but I am here to embarrass the people. Is this your mission as soldiers? Do you still have humanity?"

"Jinyu is enough......" pulled Long Jinyu behind him, and he said with a gloomy face: "My sister is young and ignorant, don't be like her, sir......"

"Lao Tzu, I'm ...... in a hurry," he scolded angrily, and the officer-like person made a gesture to pull the trigger. At the same time, Yan Beiquan and Ji Junmo also walked to their side. Yan Beiquan stretched out his hand to suppress his gun, the corners of his lips hooked up a seemingly nonexistent arc, and said, "Why is Brigade Commander Cao so excited?"

"It's rare for this girl to have such courage at such a young age. Brigadier Cao, don't frighten people. After Yan Beiquan finished speaking, he glanced at Long Jinyu, just a faint glance, but it made Long Jinyu nervous a little more.

"Yes, the girl's courage is rare. You two go over there and take a look, and remember to be careful not to hurt anything. Ji Junmo kept a harmless smile, and seeing Long Jinyu's reaction so much, he was even more suspicious of the suspicion under the burlap bag.

The two soldiers received the order and, without a moment's delay, lifted the sackcloth. The heart that was beating in a disorderly way seemed to be faster, but Long Jinyu's nervous and flustered heart suddenly calmed down at the moment when the sackcloth was lifted, and the whole person seemed to have a nightmare, a little cold and weak.

"Report, no. A soldier trotted to report.

"Well, keep looking, be sure to see people alive and corpses when you die. Yan Beiquan cherished words like gold, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, come with me. Brigade Commander Cao left with the people, leaving only Yan Beiquan, Ji Junmo and a few guards.

"Jinyu, are you okay? Are you scared?" As soon as those people left, Long Jinyan couldn't wait to pull his sister and said with concern. It really frightened him just now, and the muzzle of the gun was more nervous at Long Jinyu than at himself.

"Brother, I'm fine. Patting Long Jinyan and holding his hand, Long Jinyu walked a few steps in front of Yan Beiquan and leaned over, and said softly: "Thank you for the timely rescue just now, if not, I'm afraid which chief would really shoot." "In the cold wind, the girl's posture is delicate, like a delicate and elegant magnolia flower, so beautiful that it is earthly, as if it does not eat the fireworks of the world. It made him fascinated for a while.

"That's not necessary, Brigade Commander Cao is a straightforward person, and today he is really a little impulsive. Yan Beiquan spoke politely, his tone was cool and a little less sharp.

"In addition to searching for criminals this time, we also have a matter to discuss, and then we will have to ask Foreman Long and the brothers at the dock. Ji Jun smiled lightly and looked modest.

"You're welcome, where you can, Long Jinyan will do his best!"

"Jinyan, Long Jinyan, are you Long Shaohan?" Ji Junmo suddenly became excited.

"Exactly...... Are you...?" Long Jinyan was stunned, Long Shaohan is his word, there are few people who know this, and the person in front of him knows, but he can't recognize who he is.

"Jinyan, I'm Jun Mo, Ji Junmo, Ji Xiaopang, have you forgotten?" Ji Junmo held Long Jinyan's shoulder, full of joy for reunion after a long absence.

"Ji Xiaopang, I didn't recognize you kid at all. Long Jinyan shook him back, and the two of them came to a real hug between men.

"Do you know?" asked Yan Beiquan in a cold voice.

"My brother and he were best playmates when they were young, and the two had very similar interests. Long Jinyu explained aloud, and the smile naturally rhymed at the corner of her lips. Listening to her soft voice, Yan Beiquan once again lowered his eyes to her. In the cold wind and snow, the girl's posture is elegant. The pure and aesthetic beauty is incomparable but unassuming, and the low-key beauty is even more appreciated.

It's night—

A dull knock sounded in the silent corridor, echoing for a long time.

"Come in. "It wasn't until there was a sound inside the door that the people outside dared to push the door in.

The room without the lights was dim, the tassels on the floor-to-ceiling windows fluttered slightly, and a tall and burly figure was standing in front of the window, looking arrogant and indifferent, only a flickering fire flickered.

Entering the door was Yan Beiquan's personal adjutant, Xiao Fang, word: Qingshan. As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Fang was choked by the strong smell of smoke and coughed, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Yan Beiquan was using himself as an ashtray again!

"Young Master. Xiao Fang straightened up, gave a standard military salute, and said. He grew up with Yan Beiquan in the Yan family since he was a child, and most of the time he is not like a superior or superior, but more like a master-servant relationship, so in private he is called Young Master Yan Beiquan.

"Have you got the results of your investigation?" There are no superfluous words, Yan Beiquan went straight to the topic, for Xiao Fang, Yan Beiquan knew his ability to do things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put Xiao Fang by his side and be his personal adjutant.

"Found it. Long Jinyan only came to the dock half a year ago to work, because he had studied in the foreign school, so he was very valued by Xing Zhenshan, and he became a foreman not long ago.

Long Jinyan is the eldest son at home, and one of her sisters has been out of the cabinet. Two younger brothers and a younger sister, the eldest brother goes to school outside, the details are unknown, and his sister Shenghua Middle School. In this year's graduation list, the younger brother is more than ten years old. By the way, young master......"

"Huh? ”

"Yes. Xiao Fang no longer had any scruples, and said: "The eldest daughter of the Long family is married to Master Yang, and they are the ones who moved to Beihua City more than ten years ago after the Jiangnan Renyi Long family."

Yan Beiquan let out a light 'um' and didn't say anything. Long Jinyan is a member of the Long family, so there is no doubt that the girl who calls him his brother is also a member of the Long family. It turns out that there are still people in the Long family, so it's okay, some things always have to be calculated clearly.

"Qingshan, do you still remember what happened to the Yan family back then? This may be predestined, someone owes a debt, someone should pay it. There must be an explanation!" When the man said these words, a trace of cruelty flashed in the corner of his eyes, and his voice was cold.

"Young master, there is a sentence Qingshan doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Since you know you shouldn't talk about it, don't talk about it. As if he knew what he was going to say, the man let his words choke in his throat.

Looking at the lonely and indifferent people in front of the window, Xiao was inexplicably sour, Yan Beiquan's words, he had already expected that, after all, this mountain-like man had carried too much for so many years.

"Yes. Without being verbose, Xiao Fangli turned around, but stopped when he pushed the door open, and said: "Smoking hurts your body, smoke less!"

"Let's go down!" the man replied lightly, putting the burning cigarette into his mouth again and inhaling it vigorously, then extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray the moment the figure at the door disappeared.

In the silent night, the faint moonlight cast through the window sprinkled on the man's cold face, and the man's eyes looked at the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind outside the window in deep silence, and there was only gray-white smoke in the room!
