Chapter 373 [It's Hard to Be a Good Man] (II)
Bai Yunfei said: "You are a person who has seen the world, not to mention anything else, just under the Old Summer Palace, anything you bring out is not much worse than the Kowloon Cup, but you are a person who values love and righteousness, if you see a friend in trouble, you will definitely help at all costs." β
Luo Lie laughed, Bai Yunfei's words were also right or wrong, although the things in the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace were precious, the jade Nine Dragon Cup was also a treasure when placed inside, but Bai Yunfei's second half of the sentence was not wrong.
Bai Yunfei said: "I heard that Inspector Liu went to search your residence overnight last night. β
Luo Lie said: "Routine investigation, the suspicion has been ruled out. β
Bai Yunfei lowered his voice and said, "I won't tell you, I also think you did it." β
Luo Lie said: "I can only clear myself." β
Bai Yunfei said: "To do something, it depends on motivation and ability. Of all the people I know, in the current French Concession, you are the only one who owns two things at the same time. β
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not Inspector Zonghua. β
Bai Yunfei laughed, he finally couldn't help but take out the cigarette case again, lit a cigarette, took a puff of cigarette and said: "Even if the evidence is destroyed and Zhou Xiaodie has temporarily escaped the accusation, but the situation of the two of them is not optimistic, and now many forces are eyeing them, and I have arranged a lot of manpower around the hospital in case of emergency." β
Luo Lie said: "At present, it's just rumors, what jade Nine Dragon Cup, what Dongshan Sutra, who has seen it again?
Bai Yunfei said: "Chen Jiumei is the first master of stealing the door, when she stole these two treasures, she flew away, and since then she has not been found, the Qing court counted this account on the head of the thief, and the thief has been constantly killed in the past few decades, and the talent has withered." It wasn't until the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that the suppression of the thief door was stopped, and the thief slowly recovered some vitality, and the thief door hated Chen Jiumei from top to bottom. β
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I've heard about this too. β
Bai Yunfei said: "Even if you don't have these two treasures, if you know that Chen Jiumei has a grandson in the world, you will definitely kill them all." β
Of course, Luo Lie knew the blind man's current situation, and the reason why Chen Jiumei left the Jade Nine Dragon Cup and the Dongshan Sutra now seems to be the guarantee of future generations. The blind man has not recovered his memory now, and he should not be able to remember where the Jade Nine Dragon Cup and the Dongshan Sutra are hidden, but once he recovers his memory, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Luo Lie said: "Have you ever thought that these two things have actually been stolen by people, otherwise why would you release such a rumor afterwards and gather all the contradictions on the blind man." β
Bai Yunfei said: "There is indeed such a possibility. β
Luo Lie said: "You are also interested in these two things?"
Bai Yunfei said: "If you say that you are not interested, even I will not believe it." β
Luo Lie said: "In fact, these two things will become hot potatoes no matter who they fall into, if you want to sleep peacefully, don't beat them." β
The blind man's surgery was decided to be carried out next Tuesday, according to the brain specialist, he should have no problems recovering his vision after the operation, but the memory depends on the actual recovery, but it is definitely better than in the past, after all, the hematoma in his skull has been removed, and the alleviation of compression symptoms will bring a series of improvements.
At noon on Sunday, Ye Qinghong hosted a banquet at the mansion to entertain the French consul Montpero and his family, and Bai Yunfei was among the invitees. Zhang Lingkong was not originally among Ye Qinghong's invitations, but Monpero specifically proposed to invite Zhang Lingkong, and Ye Qinghong knew that Zhang Lingkong must have something to do with Monpero when he heard about it.
Lunch was held on the grass of the manor, and Bai Yunfei was not interested in this Western-style buffet meal, but he did not want to miss this rare opportunity to communicate.
When Bai Yunfei arrived, the Montpero couple had already arrived first, and they went to visit the manor accompanied by Ye Qinghong. As the male host, Luo Lie is responsible for receiving other people, Bai Yunfei saw Inspector Liu and his wife, and he was a little puzzled, it wasn't that Inspector Liu led the crowd to search here before, and took Luo Lie away for investigation, it stands to reason that their relationship should be opposite, how can they be invited today.
Bai Yunfei soon realized that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only common interests, and from the way Inspector Liu and Luo Lie talked and laughed, he understood that the crisis of Inspector Liu's resignation had been lifted, which should be related to Montpero.
Bai Yunfei said with a smile: "Today is really a VIP crowd." β
Luo Lie said: "It's all my own people, make an appointment to chat and play cards." β
At this time, Zhang Lingkong also arrived, he came alone, and when he got out of the car, he smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, I'm late, I'm late." β
Luo Lie walked over and shook hands with Zhang Lingkong and said, "Mr. Zhang is not late at all, he arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time." β
Zhang Lingkong smiled: "I can't wait to meet Mr. Luo." β
Bai Yunfei secretly scolded this guy for hypocrisy, from Zhang Lingkong's attitude today, it can be seen that he was choked by the throat, the ownership of the land at the Blue Mill made this guy have to lower his profile, Zhang Lingkong's appearance made Bai Yunfei feel vigilant, he asked Luo Lie, the reason why he invited Zhang Lingkong to come over was entirely because of Montpero's instructions, that is to say, Zhang Lingkong had already done through the relationship with the French consul in private, and Montpero asked him to come over, and it was very likely that he would come forward to be a peacemaker.
Zhang Lingkong said to Bai Yunfei again: "Mr. Mu, let's have a few more drinks when we go back." β
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Then you have to borrow Brother Luo's wine." β
Luo Lie smiled: "There is a lot of wine, the two of you drank it openly." β
Although Inspector Liu is the leader of the patrol in the French Concession, his status is far from being equal to this group of people, and he also feels a little flattered by Luo Lie's invitation, he originally thought that such a big thing happened in the patrol room, and he must be in danger, but he didn't expect Montpero to let him go, just remove the deputy sergeant in charge of fire fighting, Inspector Liu is equivalent to avoiding this crisis, he is not a fool, he knows that the reason why Montpero let him go is entirely because of Ye Qinghong's mediation, and Ye Qinghong is Luo Lie's fiancΓ©e, Luo Lie does not speak, she will definitely not help herselfγ
Although Inspector Liu's ability to handle cases is not good, he is a good hand when it comes to social experience, he is now bright-eyed, and the case of Silk Village is simply shelved.
At this time, the French consul Montpero and his wife came back accompanied by Ye Qinghong, Ye Qinghong invited everyone to the table, and Luo Lie said to Inspector Liu and his wife: "Inspector Liu, sister-in-law, please take a seat." β
Inspector Liu was flattered and said, "Brother Luo first, Brother Luo first, first." β
Seeing Inspector Liu's appearance, Ye Qinghong secretly laughed in her heart, in fact, she didn't agree with Luo Lie's practice of repaying grievances with virtue at first, but now she has understood Luo Lie's intentions, and she can't compare to Luo Lie in terms of scheming and wisdom, and it's no wonder that she has been eaten to death by him all her life.
Inspector Liu and his wife rarely participate in this kind of Western-style drinking party, and they were worried about knives and forks, Ye Qinghong was thoughtful, and carefully prepared chopsticks for each guest, and what tools they wanted to use to eat was all up to their preferences.
Montpero said: "Adjani was my student, she was the smartest and most beautiful girl in the class at that time, and she was very well-behaved and lovely, and I said at the time that she would definitely have great achievements in the future. β
Zhang Lingkong said with a smile: "It is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices, and I have seen it today." β
Ye Qinghong smiled and said: "Don't say that, no matter how much you praise me, I can't sit still." She picked up the red wine in front of her and said, "Welcome to the humble house, Luo Lie and I only welcome everyone with this glass of thin wine." "She is the owner here, although Luo Lie is also present, but after all, Luo Lie and her have not established a formal marriage relationship.
Bai Yunfei said: "Thank you, Miss Ye, thank you, Mr. Luo." β
Everyone drank wine together, and Ye Qinghong introduced to Montpero that today's chef is a French chef specially hired from the Huangpu Public Concession, although they are in the French Concession, but the best French restaurant is in the Public Concession.
Ye Qinghong has a deep understanding of French culture, and with her introduction, laymen like Bai Yunfei and Inspector Liu also understand a lot.
Inspector Liu found an opportunity to toast to Monperlo, Montpero touched the wine glass with him, took a sip and said: "Liu, I never knew that you and Mr. Luo were good friends, and Mr. Luo said a lot of good things about you in front of me." β
Monpero was beating him to make him understand that the reason why he was able to keep Wusha this time was all because of Luo Hunting, Inspector Liu said: "I understand, Mr. Consul, in the future, I will do my best to do my job well, maintain law and order in the concession, and make the entire concession stable and peaceful." β
Montpero laughed, in fact, for him, whoever is the leader of this patrol house is the same, it is their management principle to control China with China, and in this land, they need to maximize their interests.
After lunch, Montperrot specially called Ye Qinghong and Zhang Lingkong together, and he smiled and said, "Adjani, I heard that the ownership of Mr. Zhang's investment in the land of New World belongs to you?"
From Zhang Lingkong's appearance, Ye Qinghong knew that sooner or later this matter would be discussed, and she smiled and said, "Not all, to be exact, I have the ownership of part of the land." β
Montpero said, "Mr. Zhang is interested in buying your piece of land." β
Zhang Lingkong maintained a polite smile on his face, he was worried that Ye Qinghong and Bai Yunfei would join forces to make a fuss on this piece of land, and he also knew that it would be difficult to talk about this matter smoothly, so he decided to adopt a roundabout strategy after thinking about it, by getting Monpero first, and then having Montpero come forward to coordinate, as long as Montpero spoke, Ye Qinghong would definitely not be able to refuse.
Ye Qinghong said: "It's easy to say." β
