Zhang Feng and Zhao Xianyu walked into a restaurant named Zhangting in the downtown area together. This hotel is located on Tingzhang Long Road, is a better restaurant on Daokou Street, Zhang Feng entered the door to ask the boss for a table of good wine.

The two drank tea, and when the wine and food were ready, Zhang Feng enthusiastically filled Zhao Xianyu and himself with wine.

He picked up his glass and said respectfully to Zhao Xianyu: This first cup, I respect you for your meticulous help and care for your brother in the past, without Brother Zhao, there would be no my present. After he finished speaking, the two of them drank it all.

Zhao Xianyu put down the cup and said: It's all in the past, and the past is unbearable!

"Anyway, I still have to thank you, you can't be a man." Zhang Feng said while serving vegetables to Zhao Xianyu.

Zhao Xianyu didn't say anything when he heard this, but looked at Zhang Feng vigilantly and listened to Zhang Feng's words.

Zhang Feng continued: "This second glass of wine, I will punish myself with a glass. At the beginning, when Stationmaster Zhang was removed, he didn't dare to say a fair word for Brother Zhao, and now I punish myself for my cowardice and cowardice. With that, he took his glass and drank it down.

He put down his glass and continued: "I hate myself for not having the guts, if I had begged for a favor with Stationmaster Zhang, maybe it would have been ......."

Zhao Xianyu interjected: "You can't intervene in this matter, it's useless for you to say it, don't blame yourself." Zhao Xianyu said, a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

Zhang Feng pretended not to see it, and said to himself: It's all brothers who are not good, brothers have no ability, and they can't help you, don't blame your brothers.

Zhao Xianyu said movingly: "Brother, how can I complain about you." Come, I'll have a drink with you. ”

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses again.

Zhao Xianyu asked again: I don't know how my brother is now?

Zhang Feng pretended to be dissatisfied and said: What else can I do, it's just a mix of food and clothing, compared with Brother Zhao, it is very different.

Zhao Xianyu answered: "But I heard that Zhang Zhongmin is very considerate to his subordinates, why are you so embarrassed." He looked at Zhang Feng with mockery in his words.

Zhang Feng deliberately said: "Brother has no ability, let Brother Zhao laugh." As for Stationmaster Zhang's compassion and concern for his subordinates, it was just a rumor. I don't know if you have heard, since you left, Ke Yiming, Chen Liren and the reporter Ding Mingyi disappeared soon after, just like the evaporation of the world, no one alive, no corpse in the dead, very bizarre. After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Xianyu tightly.

Zhao Xianyu answered: "How is it possible, a few big living people are fine, how can they say that they will disappear if they don't see it, I'm afraid they will run away by themselves?" ”

Zhang Feng asked: "Ran away, does Brother Zhao know their whereabouts?" In his speech, he deliberately accentuated the word "whereabouts".

Zhao Xianyu showed a hint of panic when he heard this, but then calmed down again, pretending to be funny and said: How can I know, you know that we have never had much contact with each other.

When Zhang Feng saw this, he immediately understood. He said angrily, "Whatever the reason, they're gone anyway." After their disappearance, Stationmaster Zhang did not mention anything about the search and revenge, and the lack of favor made everyone very disappointed. Moreover, Zhang Zhongmin is not only timid as a mouse, but also stubborn and self-serving, and he can't even get any benefits from him, and the brothers are complaining and living in poverty. ”

Zhao Xianyu stared at Zhang Feng with doubts on his face.

Zhang Feng pretended to be very depressed and picked up the wine glass and said: "Brothers, life is hard now, how can it be like when Stationmaster Chen was in office, you and I ate fragrant and spicy food, and lived a happy and chic life!" Come on, let's have another drink! ”

"Come!" The two drank the wine in the cup again, and Zhang Feng refilled the wine.

Zhang Feng then complained: This Zhang Zhongmin is really not interesting!

Zhao Xianyu interjected: "I have long seen that this person is not authentic, not worthy of trust and trust, and not worthy of his brothers to work hard and work hard for him." ”

The two talked about speculation, and raised their glasses frequently, and soon Zhao Xianyu drank a little too much.

Zhang Feng complimented again: "Brother Zhao was still prescient, and took advantage of the stationmaster's removal to decisively leave Minnan Station and leave in style!" So, the brothers are envious behind their backs. ”

Zhao Xianyu said with some pride when he heard this: "I call the good bird to choose the tree and perch, and the virtuous minister to choose the master." If you can't mess with you and me in the future, make sure you don't have to worry about eating and drinking! ”

Zhang Feng pretended to be excited, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, I can't ask for it?" But, Brother Zhao, you have to let me know what we're doing? ”

Zhao Xianyu said flutteringly: Brother, do you really want to know, don't you tell others what I said?

Zhang Feng also pretended to be drunk and said: "Don't worry, I promise to do it!" ”

Zhao Xianyu lowered his voice and said: I am now following Dai Zhongming and the county magistrate's subordinates on errands, and what I do is a big deal?

"Big deal, what big deal?" Zhang Feng asked.

Zhao Xianyu picked up a glass of wine and drank it all and said: "Smuggling Japanese goods, have you ever heard of it, pull the things over here, pull the things over there, and you can earn 1,000 yuan this time?" ”

"Ah, 1,000 bucks! It's all my year's salary, you are amazing, brother admires. Come, brother salute one more! ”

"The wine is drunk and drunk, and people are not confused until they are half a life, come, drink!"

When the two of them arrived at the happy place, they took the opportunity to drink a few more glasses, and Zhao Xianyu was a little drunk.

Zhang Feng asked with envy again: What kind of big business does Brother Zhao do?

Zhao Xianyu paused for a moment, snorted a mouthful of wine and said, "This is confidential, I can't tell you, you will know when the time comes, don't ask now." ”

"Okay, brother, I won't ask, but how often do you do it, you can always say this!" Zhang Feng leaned over again and asked.

Zhao Xianyu said a little flutteringly: I can tell you this, it is generally a week, once a week. Today, Tuesday, the night after tomorrow, we load the goods at the riverside wharf, and transport them to the head of Xiahe Road at one o'clock in the morning, unload the goods and then load the Japanese goods back. Zhao Xianyu said mysteriously.

"The money is so easy to make, then I, I will quit tomorrow and come to you and follow Brother Zhao to make a fortune. His grandmother's, quit. ”

"No problem, let's do it together, let the surnamed Zhang take a look." Zhao Xianyu boasted.

After the two finished drinking, Zhang Feng settled the account and helped Zhao Xianyu to go out to the restaurant......

Zhang Feng returned to the station and quickly reported the situation to Zhang Zhongmin, Zhang Zhongmin patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and said sincerely: Good brother, I thank you on behalf of my colleagues who have died!

Zhang Feng also said with emotion: "Stand down, don't be polite, this is what I should do." ”

Zhang Zhongmin's expression became serious and said: You must keep this matter confidential and not disclose it to anyone. The matter of revenge is a personal matter, I will arrange it, you don't want to get involved, in case the peak is investigated, you can get out. I hope to get your understanding and support.

Zhang Feng nodded movingly.

Then, according to the agreed time, Zhang Zhongmin sent an urgent telegram to Xiadao.
