Chapter Twenty-Six: Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms
The establishment of the Nanhai Gang is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ding Li, especially the sentence added by Zhang Wu at the end, which can also be said to be a side reminder to Ding Li that the Nanhai Gang supported by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce can be left to Ding Li's decision.
Of course, the Nanhai Gang is still essentially the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and Ding Li is just a high-level worker. But for Ding Li at the moment, not only does he have no choice, but it can also be said that this is the most suitable path for himself.
If there is no Nanhai Gang, there is no Zhang Chamber of Commerce, Ding Li is nothing, Liu Sanye will definitely not let him go, even Liu Sheng will always be in danger, and even many companions and friends such as Saidgade, Gouzi, and the Wang brothers will be affected.
Early in the morning, Zhang Wu took people to Fanfang District, first went to Saidade's house to appease, under the pretext that Saidgade was now working for the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and followed the young owner Zhang Mingzhi to Fuxu Port. Hearing the news, Saidgard's father, Da Lushi, was trembling with excitement and his beard was trembling, and he pulled Zhang Wu to thank him, and kept fiddling with various gestures in the direction of his ancestor, probably meaning prayer.
After leaving Said's house, Zhang Wu also met several groups of Tang people gathered nearby, and Zhang Wu did not embarrass those people in public, but solemnly warned the other party, and knew that it must be Liu Sanye's subordinates without thinking too much.
Then Zhang Wu followed what Ding Li said, went to the Qinglou near Fangkou, and saw the artist Xia Qing without hindrance, and after explaining the intention in detail, Xia Qing always refused to let Zhang Wu go to see Liu Sheng, which was Ding Li's instructions before leaving last night, no matter who it was.
"Miss Xia! It's really Brother Li who asked me to take Miss Liu Sheng back! Zhang Wu had a feeling that he had met a soldier, and he had repeatedly explained the reason to Xia Qing, but Xia Qing only politely left Zhang Wu in the room, and never took a step closer.
"This Brother Zhang, it's really not that the slave family is unwilling, but Brother Li did say that no matter who comes, you can't see Miss Liu Sheng! Since Brother Zhang, you understand the importance of Miss Liu Sheng to Brother Li, don't embarrass the slave family, when Brother Li comes in person, the slave family will naturally hand over Miss Liu Sheng! Xia Qing actually believed that Zhang Wu was entrusted by Ding Li, but Xia Qing had selfish intentions, if Zhang Wu was allowed to take Liu Sheng like this, would he be able to see Ding Li in the future?
"I said Miss Xia, don't be a slave in front of me, I was really entrusted by Brother Li to pick up Miss Liu Sheng and leave!" Zhang Wu sat at the table helplessly, playing with the cup in his hand with one hand, which had been delayed by Xia Qing for nearly half an hour, and he had changed a few pots of tea alone, but he didn't see Xia Qing let go.
As he spoke, Zhang Wu saw Xia Qing lifting a pot of boiling water from the small copper stove by the window, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, with a look of resentment: "Don't, don't!" I can't drink it anymore! Miss Xia, you spare me! Hurry up and hand over Miss Liusheng, and I'll go back to deal with Brother Li, otherwise, I really won't be able to leave! ”
"Brother Zhang, forgive the little girl for being difficult to obey!" Xia Qing changed her name, but she still walked to the table with boiling water, bowed slightly to Zhang Wu, replaced the tea leaves in the pot with herself, and brewed a new pot of tea again, as if she wanted to wash Zhang Wu away with a pot of tea.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu hurriedly put the cup in his hand upside down on the table, clasped the bottom of the cup tightly, and glanced at Xia Qing with panic in his eyes. Then his brows furrowed, and he turned to the door and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck! Haven't come for so long! It's time for the turtle to arrive! ”
"Bang!"
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open violently, Zhang Wu on the seat was startled, his heart was first relieved, and then his brows were furrowed, his face sank, and he looked at the cylinder standing outside the door and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?!" ”
"I want to ask who you are? Dare to come to fight Miss Xia's idea? The urn asked angrily, Xia Qing also saw the person clearly, it turned out to be Jin Sanpang who suddenly apologized to himself yesterday, Xia Qing, who was originally a little flustered, was slightly stunned after listening to the other party's words, full of confusion, although Jin Sanpang apologized to himself yesterday, it is unlikely that he will suddenly speak to himself today.
"Miss Xia! Don't be afraid! With my Jin San Fat here, even if this kid is difficult, I will throw it out to him! Brother Li's matter is my golden three fat thing! Don't worry, leave it to me! Jin San Fat Ma Jin Dao stepped into the room, and when he was going upstairs just now, he heard the old bustard explain that Xia Qing seemed to be dealing with a more difficult guest, and he was angry when he landed, and rushed up without saying anything.
Now he waved his hand at Xia Qing, who was dazed, and strode in front of Zhang Wu, staring directly at Zhang Wu, who was less than half the thickness of himself, and threatened in a vicious voice: "Boy! If you know each other, get out of this room! If you mess with Miss Xia, you're upset! Hum! I won't let you get out of this square today! ”
"Brother Li? Yo! Hearing this, Zhang Wudeng became interested, but he didn't expect Ding Li to have such a loyal little brother in front of him, his eyes full of interest kept looking Jin Sanpang up and down, and nodded thoughtfully, but the whole person did not move in his seat.
"Boy! Do you want to taste my fist? Seeing that Zhang Wu didn't say anything, Jin Sanpang felt that his majesty had been provoked, raised his pot-sized fist and shook it in front of Zhang Wu, and glanced at Xia Qing inadvertently, as if he was deliberately performing to invite merit, grinning widely, pretending to threaten Zhang Wu fiercely.
"You'd better take a look at this and decide if you want me to taste your fist!" Zhang Wu heard that the other party was for Ding Li's good, but he didn't have any malicious intent, but he looked at the other party with interest, reached out and took out a gilt waist card from behind his waist and threw it on the table, then he gestured, chuckled and raised his head at Jin Sanfat.
"Humph! You Tang people, you just like to play tricks! Just look at it, what else can you not do! Jin Sanpang glanced at Zhang Wu with a contemptuous face, and did not put the other party in his eyes at all, but when his eyes moved to the delicate waist card on the table, his whole body was shocked, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
After a short period of stunned, when Jin Sanpang turned his gaze to Zhang Wu again, the expression of the whole person had become stiff and wooden, and he was even more incoherent when he spoke, and even the fists were hugged together in front of his chest, and he threw his hand at Zhang Wu again and again: "No, I'm sorry!" I, I'm really, really, it's the one, I don't know Tarzan with eyes! Yes, yes! I don't know Taishan with eyes! Reckless, reckless! ”
"It doesn't matter! Since they are friends of Brother Li, they are all their own people! You're welcome! Zhang Wu smiled faintly, waved his hand lightly, and put away the waist card on the table, and then looked at the golden three fat, the other party was already sweating, and the whole person stood there trembling and frightened, with an embarrassed face.
"It's all for people, Brother Jin forgive me!" Zhang Wu saw that the other party was a generation older than him, and he was Ding Li's person, thinking that there might be some contact in the future, he also got up generously and bowed back to Jin Sanfat, and said politely with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare! Break the villain, break the villain! After Jin Sanpang learned about Zhang Wu's identity and the forces behind him from the waist card, even if he was a generation older, how could he dare to rely on this, and hurriedly jumped aside with a flexibility that was completely incommensurate with his own volume, and then returned the salute again and again, his head shook non-stop, but he still didn't forget to inquire cautiously: "I don't know if Brother Zhang came for?" ”
"Brother Jin is polite, don't call it that, they are all their own people, do things for Brother Li, if you look at it, just call Brother Zhang!" Zhang Wu was also easy-going, and did not rely on his power to bully Jin Sanpang, but he also accepted the other party's etiquette solidly, and then waved his hand at Jin Sanpang, and explained with a friendly smile: "Brother Li asked me to come over and help bring someone back, no, Miss Xia refused to let go, so I had to send someone back to ask Brother Li for instructions!" ”
"Shhhh Hearing this, Jin Sanpang gasped, and looked at Xia Qing again with a gaze full of horror and doubt, who is Xia Qing in front of him, Ding Li helped not to mention, even Zhang Wu in front of him had to sell face to her, as soon as he thought of this, Jin Sanpang felt a cold air on the soles of his feet, and quickly traveled to every muscle and vein in his body, and even the blood in his body seemed to become extremely cold for a while.
"Xia, Miss Xia." After a short shock, Jin Sanpang didn't want to be Xia Qing's opponent, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward, respectfully saluted Xia Qing, and explained in a trembling voice without daring to raise his head: "Before, it was a drunken gaffe before, it's all my fault, damn it, really damn it!" I still hope that Miss Xia will not care about the villain, don't take it to heart! ”
"Jin, Jin Sanye, you are..." Although Xia Qing has been in the world for a long time, how can her brain be as fast as Jin Sanfat, and she was confused by the sudden change of the other party, and after reacting, she hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help, but she didn't expect that Jin Sanfat, who wanted to pinch himself in the palm of her hand on weekdays, was frightened, and retreated a few steps back as if she was running, her head shook more like a rattle for children to play, and she begged for mercy and apologized, and did not forget to make a guarantee on the spot: "I hope that Miss Xia will not care about her past suspicions!" If you need anything in the future, just ask me Jin Sanpang! No matter whether it can be done or not, Jin San Fat will not refuse, and he will never give up on the knife mountain and down the sea of fire! ”
"This..." Xia Qing was completely stunned, and cast her helpless eyes on Zhang Wu, who was smiling and looking at everything, Zhang Wu's eyes were very vicious, and his thoughts were no slower than Jin Sanfat, just looking at what happened in front of him, he already understood everything, and when he saw Xia Qing asking for help from him, he just smiled lightly and shook his head in response.
What's more important is that Zhang Wu has noticed from Xia Qing's previous series of performances that the relationship between Ding Li and Xia Qing is not ordinary, at least Xia Qing has a certain degree of feeling for Ding Li, so Zhang Wu is also happy to push the boat, secretly helping Xia Qing such a favor, and indirectly let Jin San Fat get acquainted with each other, which will also be helpful to Xia Qing in the future.
"Brother Wu! Brother Li said that there is a code that can let Miss Xia Qing go! The wide open door rushed into a henchman of Zhang Wu, who was sweating profusely and just asked Ding Li for instructions, and as soon as he entered the door, he gasped and reported the situation to Zhang Wu.
"Good!" Zhang Wu was immediately overjoyed, stood up excitedly, turned his head and looked at Xia Qing with a smile, nodded and asked, "Miss Xia!" Since Brother Li said that there is a code, then please say it to Miss Xia! Don't say you don't know! That's so hard for me! ”
"Humph!" Xia Qing's mind was broken by Zhang Wu's words, and he glanced at the other party dissatisfied, although he was reluctant, but after a moment of silence, he still released the red lips that he bit lightly, and said softly: "The Heavenly King covers the tiger!" ”
"Chicken stew with mushrooms!" The man who had just rushed in was bending over and panting, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and shouted without hesitation, but then he was slapped on the head by Zhang Wu next to him, and Zhang Wu, who was huffing, turned his head and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat!" Just fucking know how to eat! After you go back, Lao Tzu will stew you first! ”
"This, this is what Brother Li said." The beaten henchman looked at Zhang Wu with an aggrieved face, and inadvertently took a step back, carefully looked at Zhang Wu's changes, and explained in a low voice: "This is a code, it's a code!" ”
"Cipher? Chicken stew with mushrooms?! Zhang Wu, who reacted, was also stunned, frowned, and glanced at his henchmen, and he couldn't figure out what Ding Li was thinking in his heart, but he still turned his head and turned his inquiring gaze to Xia Qing.
"That's it! Come with me. Meeting Zhang Wu's gaze, Xia Qing paused slightly, and finally nodded and lightly opened her red lips.
It's just that at the moment when Xia Qing turned around, a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in her eyes, and even after she turned around, there were crystal tears in her eyes.
