Juchang's words are no less than a rainstorm in summer, and the begonia flowers that are blooming in the courtyard are wilting, and the flowers are depressed, originally only opened a chess hall, but I didn't think there were so many bullshit things.

Brother Xun and Qian Xuan, probably didn't expect so many forks, He Qi sniffed the cold air, and it became more and more difficult to suppress the depression in his heart, for a while, the courtyard was silent again, and the three of them were worried.

In the evening, Qian Xuan went home, and Brother Xun stayed.

The next morning, the two went to work, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the store, they saw the bookkeeper standing on the steps of the door, anxiously waiting, and then looked into the store, the door curtain blocked the inability to see clearly, but the voice of the flow of breath was clearly audible.

He Qi and Brother Xun were shocked, and the people from the Dragon Gang really came.

Mr. Ledger's name is Wu Yuanxiang, he is an authentic Beiping person, he has lived for most of his life, and naturally knows what it means for the Dragon Gang to come to the door.

He Qi said first: "Uncle Wu, I know everything. ”

Lao Wu was afraid that the two gentlemen would be short in age and scholarly in business, which would annoy the people of the Dragon Gang, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yubai, listen to me, you have not been in Beiping for a long time, this Dragon Gang can not afford to offend, they are nothing more than selling big cigarettes for money, let's pay tribute to the God of Wealth." ”

While speaking, the three of them had already stepped on the steps, He Qi walked in front, opened the curtain, and entered the store, the sound of flowing air suddenly disappeared, and immediately a few eyes swept over, the chess hall in the morning was generally empty, and the hall was very empty, so these eyes were very dazzling.

But seeing four people standing in the hall, one sitting, all wearing black long-sleeved gowns and wide black thick trousers, but the person sitting had a black belt on his head, which should be the head of these four people.

"Ah Hong, you go get busy first." He Qi said.

Ah Hong seemed to have a backbone, and quickly turned around and ran away.

The head who was sitting also stood up at this moment, walked towards He Qi, first bowed politely, and said respectfully: "Two gentlemen, take the liberty of disturbing, I should have come to say hello yesterday, but I am afraid of sweeping away the gentlemen's Yaxing, so I will say belated congratulations today." ”

"Long Si, it's really your dog's day." Suddenly, Qian Xuan's scolding came from outside the door, and then the door curtain stirred, and Qian Xuan rushed into the door angrily, his face was full of sweat, panting for white air, glaring at Long Si, his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Master Qian, it's me who is young, isn't this a happy coming?" As soon as Long Si saw Qian Xuan, his attitude was a lot more humble, although Qian Xuan scolded him when he opened his mouth, Long Si was not angry, and he was respectful.

"Sun Tzu! Who are you? Our dragon master also dares to scold? But a few small ones behind Long Si suddenly couldn't help it, and immediately scolded and scolded and were about to come up to help, Long Siwu turned around, his face was pale, and he slapped the little brother who spoke in the face, and the red five finger prints were clearly visible.

"Get out!"

The four little brothers trembled in unison, didn't dare to say a word, and opened the curtain straight and went out.

Long Si's face returned to his humble appearance, and he apologized: "Master Qian, the little one is ignorant and offended." ”

Brother Xun and He Qi looked surprised, and they didn't know what was going on, so they both looked at Qian Xuan.

Qian Xuan suppressed his anger and took the lead in walking towards the backyard: "Let's talk about it inside." ”

There is a small pavilion in the backyard, in the middle of the courtyard, there was originally a small pool, but it has dried up early, it has become a vacant land, which is overgrown with weeds, He Qi originally planned to plant some flowers and plants, but now it is early winter, so he has to remove the weeds, and plant them in the spring next year, but now it is bare, not a piece of green.

The pavilion is not big, but it is more than enough to seat a few people, there is a tea table in the middle, Qian Xuan's body board is sitting on one side, Brother Xun and He Qi sit down closely, and Long Si sits on the opposite side.

Qian Xuan's temper was notoriously short-tempered, and he questioned sharply in a loud voice: "I ran a lot in the morning before I realized that you were in charge of the Xuanwai area. I didn't know it was you, but then the old horse who repaired the car secretly told me that it was you Zhang Zhengwen, text, text, I asked you, where have you been all these years? Your grandfather, Mr. Zhang, gave him a name back then, but do you remember what his intention was? ”

A hint of shame flashed across Long Si's face.

"Your Zhang family was also a scholarly family back then, and a few generations later, they were also people who entered the Hanlin Academy and wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty, don't forget, it was because your father smoked a lot of cigarettes that the family went bankrupt and the lintel collapsed, but you are good, not only are you angry, but you also started a business that helps the abuse, what face do you have to face your Zhang ancestors in the future?"

"I said how your life has been getting better and better in the past few years, my family has sent good things over the years, and I am happy for you, now it seems that it is stained with blood, starting from this year, you don't want to come to my house in the future, I don't want anything you send to someone. The one I saved back then was called Hanako and Zhang Zhengwen, not Long Si. ”

"Master Qian, your life-saving grace, I, Zhang Wenzheng, dare not forget it in this life." Long Si "snapped" and knelt down.

"You get up, and I won't accept it." Qian Xuan walked behind his back, his face was very uncomfortable.

Long Si knelt down and confided: "Master Qian, there are some things I don't tell you, just because I'm afraid that you will be angry." You asked me a few years ago, why don't you drive a car dealership? Of course I want to open it, but if I make money, I can't open it, which makes people red. Later, I did other things one after another, and wanted to take the right path, but I didn't have that life, not to mention the loss of all the money earned by the car dealership, and I owed a lot of foreign debts, urging me all day long, my wife died of illness, and my son was gone, in the final analysis, it was all fate. This world will eat people, I don't eat people, people will eat me, my Zhang family has been eaten, my wife and children have been eaten, and now I am left alone, I have no choice. ”

Qian Xuan turned around and looked distressed: "Why didn't you come to me?" ”

Long Si lowered his head and said: "I know that if I go to you, you will definitely help me, but you can help me for a while, you can't help me for a lifetime, as the old saying goes, saving the emergency is not helping the poor, I have read the book, so I naturally understand this truth." ”

Qian Xuan's anger suddenly disappeared, and he waved his hand: "Still kneeling, get up." ”

"Eh~" Ryusi got up.

Qian Xuan said: "You came today, I also know what it is for?" I won't say anything about it, you just say what you need to do to stop selling cigarettes in our chess hall? ”

Long Si sighed: "Master Qian, there are two gentlemen, I'll tell you the truth, before I came, I told the above about this, it's useless, your chess hall passed yesterday, and everyone in Beiping knew about it, and everyone who opened the store looked at it." If you don't have anything to do here, the smoke won't be able to run, and even if I don't come today, someone else will come the next day, and the result will be the same, unless you don't open it. ”

Qian Xuan was angry again: "You stabbed the sky in the back? ”

Long Si stretched out two fingers: "I don't know about this, I just care about this small piece of Xuanwai, but the money in my hand must have this amount in one day, you think about the whole of Beiping, how much does the whole of North China get a day?" ”

"Shhh He Qi gasped, one hand represents 20,000, at the end of this day, the consumption of smoking cigarettes in Quanbeiping is astronomical, and the forces behind this are afraid that they will not be able to shake it.

Qian Xuan is out of options.

He Qi took out the letter left by Ju Chang from his body, handed it to Long Si, and said, "Look at it, is this okay?" ”

After reading it, Long Si returned the envelope in a proper manner and said, "King Liu Yan has spoken, so naturally there is no problem." After finishing, he reminded again: "Three gentlemen, you are all cultural people, with good bodies and pay attention to your name, but Liu Yanwang has a bad reputation, and you do all things that offend people, and you may break it one day." ”

He Qi put away the envelope and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Master Qian, two gentlemen, hang this on the pillar outside the door, and when you see this sign, you will definitely avoid it." Long Si bowed again, took out a small wooden board engraved with a golden dragon pattern from his body, and placed it on the coffee table.

Watching Long Si's figure slowly disappear, Qian Xuan had mixed feelings in his heart, staring at the small wooden card left by Long Si, a sense of powerlessness and hatred arose in his bones, and in a fit of anger, he grabbed the small wooden card and threw it out directly.

Qian Xuan's face turned red, he looked at He Qi and Brother Xun, and said indignantly: "Did you see it? See? This is our country, the sign of the country's demise, terminally ill, Yu Cai, don't you go to Shanghai with us? ”

"Go!" Brother Xun nodded, then walked out of the pavilion, picked up the small wooden sign that Qian Xuan had thrown away, and wiped it carefully.
