Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Horse Knows the Way

Speaking of Qingfengtang, after Lu Shikun recovered from his injury, the "Nine Tigers" did not gather to meet because Zhou Jiuting did not return.

On this day, it was close to noon, and Lu Shikun was sitting and drinking tea in the office of the Jichang General Chamber of Commerce.

The driver, Lu Wang, knocked on the door and hurriedly entered the room, "Master, Captain Chen Cong of the Police Department is looking for you outside." ”

"Chen Cong? What did he come to do? Lu Shikun's heart was covered with a dark cloud, "Let him in." ”

"Yes, sir." Rwann turned away.

"President Lu, there is a 100,000 urgent matter to pay a special visit to you." After Chen Cong entered the room, he sat on the sofa opposite the desk very casually, crossing Erlang's legs, looking leisurely.

"Captain Chen, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask."

"Recently, on the orders of Toyotomi Taijun of the gendarmerie, the prohibited goods were checked, and prohibited drugs and firearms were found in the warehouses in the backyards of the Rongchang and ginseng trading houses." Chen Cong picked up the cigars in the humidor on the table and cut the cigars with scissors, "I didn't believe it at first, but in the boxes of these medicines, I found the "Customs Clearance Certificate" of the Jichang Chamber of Commerce with your seal. Aren't you familiar with Rong Changhe's boss He Wenhua? ”

"I'm familiar with this He Wenhua, and I have some business dealings with me, but I don't know how he has prohibited items there? Isn't he in the ginseng business? After all, Lu Shikun had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Chen Cong, and sat down opposite him.

"I'll show you, this is the 'proof' I'm talking about." As he spoke, he took out a piece of cardboard from his bosom and pushed it on the coffee table.

"That's right! This is what I issued, but how did it get to Rongchanghe? I remember that this was for Zhao Changlin, a leather store in Yishenglong, and his leather store had my shares, so why did this "Customs Clearance Certificate" get there? Lu Shikun was noncommittal, "I don't have any goods for that He Wenhua to transport?" ”

"After all, you have more weight in the Kwantung Army's Commander Ryokarataka than in your words, and I haven't reported to Toyotomi Taijun yet, what do you think I should do?" Chen Cong looked at Lu Shikun with a sly eye.

Lu Shikun thought to himself, at first glance, this seems to be selling my personal favor, how is it possible? This is "Weasel New Year's greetings to chickens", "That's it, Captain Chen, I still say that, black can't be white, you can find He Wenhua, and then find Zhao Changlin, let them confront each other, you know, this "Customs Clearance Certificate" I did give Zhao Changlin, my ginseng business is on the Jilin side, there is no need to trouble Lao He." Since you are involved, it is not good for me to ask Zhao Changlin directly about this matter, do you think this is good? As for when you'll report your progress to Toyotomi, that's your business. What do you think of my opinion? ”

Chen Cong thought to himself, this old fox, how long can you hold out? Your chamber of commerce will be in my pocket sooner or later, "Okay, I originally wanted to suppress this matter, since you don't appreciate it, then I'll take care of it and leave!" After speaking, he held a cigar and walked slowly towards Lu Shikun's office with a smile, "Haha-".

Lu Shikun stood up and clenched his fists, "Don't send it, Captain Chen." ”

"You're busy, I'm watching the mountain scenery ...... the city tower" sang the Peking Opera and walked out of the office.

Lu Shikun was just about to pick up the phone on the table and was about to dial when Chen Cong's voice rang at the door again, "President Lu, your cigar is good!! ”

When Lu Shikun looked up at the door, Chen Cong's whistle gradually faded away in the corridor, and he put down the phone again, thinking, maybe this guy has already monitored my phone, what should I do? At the moment, I can't leave the Chamber of Commerce immediately, maybe there are Chen Cong's people outside the gate, and I have to think of an emergency countermeasure.

At this moment, Lu Songmian appeared at the door, "Dadβ€”β€”, can't you take good care of yourself after your injury?" My sister Ci stewed white fungus bird's nest soup for you, and I didn't have anything to do, so I brought it to you. ”

"Ahh Why do you ignore your daughter when you have a wife? She sewed a quilt for you, saying that your quilt hadn't been filled with cotton for a long time, and it was a bit thin. ”

"Then let Mama Li get it, she's really, what's your name 'sister', there's no way to take you."

"She agrees, and you can't help it if you don't. Oh, by the way, I saw that Chen Cong at the door, and I hated it when I saw his flowing and weird appearance. ”

"It's all outside, so don't worry about it."

"Hurry up and get a drink, or she'll blame me."

"Okay, let's put it there first, daughter, let me ask you, what is that Lu Li busy with?"

"He, I don't know, the Western food that accompanied me last night, maybe I went to the police department today, maybe I went to the police academy, I don't know, I don't ask about his work, anyway, he's a little like you when he is spoiled by you, and he always wants to be angry with me."

"You, you always don't grow up, and you're going to get married. I really have something for you to do. ”

"Drink the soup and then talk about it, hurry up! Otherwise, she would be upset. ”

"Okay, then I'll drink ......" Lu Shikun opened the food box, picked up the soup bowl and drank it deliciously, "Girl, can you go find Lu Li?" I'm looking for him urgently. ”

"Hehe, you can change fast enough, why do you recognize this uncle?"

"I admit it, I admit it, people are willing to take their lives to save me, I'm not moved, it's wood! If you have trouble finding him, you will go to your third uncle Nalan, and you must let him come to this chamber of commerce, I have something urgent, and now there are Chen Cong's dog-legged people outside, and they will follow me when I go out, trouble! Go ahead! Don't let Luwan send you, you do the rickshaw to go. ”

"Okay, then I'll go." With that, he walked out.

"If you find him or your third uncle, you will go home, and don't go anywhere, you know?"

"Know-way-β€”β€”, go home with your wife-"

Lu Shikun didn't have the heart to talk to his daughter more, he was pacing back and forth in the house, Tianxiong was probably surrounded by Chen Cong's people, could it be that this Zhao Changlin really betrayed me? No, I can't! What a steady person is that He Wenhua, and the matter of transporting medicines has nothing to do with him? How can you involve him too? The "Customs Clearance Certificate" was handed over to Zhao Changlin by Tianxiong, how could it appear in He Wenhua's warehouse? No matter who the inner ghost is, his goal is to bring down my Qingfeng Hall, it seems that this inner ghost is a serial scheme, maybe which altar is the eyeliner of the inner ghost, I can only clean up the portal with the help of external forces, and now I trust Nalan the most, it is Lu Li, Nalan has not been easy these years, and he has saved himself in danger many times......

He looked out the window at the traffic and people shuttling on the street, feeling that time was passing too fast, and seeing a few "vendors" outside the compound, he felt that the mountain rain was coming.

At this time, the phone rang, Lu Shikun hesitated, but still picked up the receiver, "Hello, who is it?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You can't even hear my voice? Brother Yuntong? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes...... Nalan, what do you command? ……”

"In this way, our military and political department is very satisfied with the army cotton uniforms that your factory helped to make, and you also paid for the processing, he is very satisfied, this afternoon he is rarely interested, to go to the eastern suburbs, your Tianhe Equestrian Club to ride a horse, do you have time?" Do you have a problem riding a horse? ”

"I'm really flattered, well, I'll have a treat in the evening......"

"In this way, you don't have to drive, Lisan and I will go to your chamber of commerce to pick you up in the chief's car, I still miss my 'smoke' a little, you should treat yourself at night, rest assured that I won't rob it." You're waiting......"

"Okay, I'm welcome...... I thought that my daughter must have found Nalan directly, and he deliberately said some words to the person who was listening to the phone, and he also brought Wang Zhiyou, which was to create an opportunity for the two of them to talk alone......

About half an hour later, he heard the whistle of the car downstairs, two short and one long, he knew that this was Wang Zhiyou's method of driving the whistle, put on his coat, and went downstairs.

Out of the compound, I saw Yu Zhishan's Soros black car parked there, six three-wheeled motorcycles behind it, and the guards soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, the rear car door opened, and Nalan and Yu Zhishan got out of the car one after another.

"President Lu, you have recovered, I didn't come to see you, but today I bothered you to accompany me to ride a horse, am I too uninteresting?"

"Your military aircraft is busy, I am grateful to think of me, didn't Nalan see me that day as your arrangement? With your care, I can do some business with peace of mind, and I am too late to be grateful, so I am afraid of disturbing your big things! ”

"Hop in the car, get in the car...... In the evening, President Lu, do you want to drink more with the president? ”

"Okay, it's too white at night."

"I said Nalan, why didn't Lu Li come?" Yu Zhishan asked loudly.

"He's busy, he's here, Lao Luo Da let go, he will definitely be able to go to Taibaiju at night."

"That's good, call that old Luo too, this guy never said to invite me for a drink. Let's go, get in the car...... Go on horseback! Yu Zhishan pulled Lu Shikun into the car, looked at the motorcycle guards behind him, and those Chen Cong's "traders" all put down their work, staring at them with blank eyes, not daring to approach, but Lu Shikun's five bodyguards followed on bicycles.

A "peddler" grabbed a bicycle from the wall, rode it and went down the street to report the news.

Yu Zhishan's convoy drove along the street towards the east city gate, which of the officers and soldiers of the Xinjing Janissary Patrol Brigade did not know Yu Zhishan's Soros car? Naturally, it is unimpeded.

In the car, Yu Zhishan scolded, "Damn, old guy Zheng Xiaoxu, the military spending in the first half of the year has been cut by half, saying that it is to ensure the expenses of the Japanese army first, what is the matter!" Yuntong, it's hard for you. ”

"It doesn't matter, with you, I have the bottom of my heart, besides, how can I be stable without your care, it's all what I should do." Lu Shikun said sincerely.

"Stopβ€”stopβ€”" Nalan shouted from the passenger seat.

"What's wrong? Are you going to drive? Wang Zhiyou stepped on the brakes sharply, and the car stopped.

"Old Lu, don't you see the one walking on the side of the road your 'Snow Wild Chasing the Wind Pony'? How is it here? ”

"Really? Let me see! Lu Shikun's heart was shocked, and then he got out of the car.

The horse was left unattended, walking slowly along the pipeline, it could be seen that it was a little tired, as if it had run a long way, it saw Lao Lu, stopped, stretched out its head and rubbed on Lu Shikun's chest, "muddy-" screamed, tears flowed from the eyelids, Lu Shikun wondered in his heart, could it be that Yan Zimo had an accident? The horses are back, but what about the others? …… Big things are not good!
