Volume 1: The Origin of the Floating Dragon Chapter 19 No. 127 Tielan North Street

"How much?"

Li Qing thought that he had heard it wrong, and repeated it unwillingly.

"Ten yuan, not support collect."

In the window, the bespectacled Sven girl got up to make room, and an old man in a black knitted coat sat down, and it was he who repeated the unreasonable offer again without emotion.

"Heh......"

Li Qing thought that this might be the so-called membership treatment, not to mention whether the service is good or not, the price must give enough "face".

"Then please return the letter to me, I won't send it to you." Li Qing stretched out his hand again and said angrily.

"You get what you pay for, you must have something very special to come to this window and send a letter to Xiao Jin by name." The old man did not return the letter to Li Qing, but folded his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and put his face under the light.

Only then did Li Qing realize that the old man's hair was half white, his eyes were deep-set, and his eyes were slightly cloudy.

"And I just said that I can't pay on credit, I didn't say that I can't pay on credit," the old man was very persistent about this business, his overlapping hands were opened, and he said step by step: "I'm here for members to expedite the channel, I admit that it's a little more expensive, but think about it, now that it's approaching the middle of the month, if they can receive your letter before the 15th and help you complete the entry procedures, then you will be able to receive an extra half a month's salary at the beginning of next month." ”

In the civilian contract that Xiao Jin left to Li Qing, the promised salary was 27 jiao and 8 cents a month, so that Li Qing would not only lose money, but would earn a small amount of extra money.

It was the first time Li Qing had heard that he could pay on credit at the post office, but he didn't have the heart to complain about anything now, the old man's words seemed to mean something, and the other party should know something about the special business that Gu Changming and Xiao Jin were engaged in.

It seems that I found an organization...... Although he seems to be about to be cheated by the temporary representative of the organization in front of him.

"Okay, then I'll trouble the old man, but I only have two yuan on me now, you can see ......" Li Qing took out the two-yuan bill, and his face was embarrassed.

The old man's movements were faster than Li Qing imagined, he almost didn't give Li Qing a chance to repent, he reached out and wiped off the banknote, and the old face finally bloomed with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, the remaining eight yuan will be deducted from your salary next month, well, if you can successfully join the company, the salary should be in my hands, and you don't have to worry about not paying back the money at all!"

“…… I thank you. ”

Li Qing took the postal stub handed by the old man and walked out of the post office without looking back.

Thinking that his future salary might have to be handed over to the old man once before being sent to himself, Li Qing had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he had been held by someone, and he was very passive.

"If it's a big deal, apply to Xiao Jinda and write a report, I don't believe that there is blatant exploitation and oppression in the system of transcendentals."

Walking on the street, Li Qing reached out and touched the banknotes in his jacket pocket, the thick texture and the unique touch brought by the special ink made him temporarily put his depression aside, and replaced it with the joy of being about to join the Public Security Bureau, and the most unfortunate thing is the head public institution under the Public Security Bureau, and get a decent job.

Before leaving, Li Qing asked Lao Ge to borrow ten yuan on the grounds of "doing big things", and now he has spent three yuan and six jiao, and there are still six yuan and four yuan left for him to squander.

His original intention of borrowing money was to worry that it would not be enough to pay for the relevant expenses required for mailing, but he didn't expect that the people at the post office would be so dark, and a mouth would cost a full ten yuan, so Li Qing had no choice but to tell a white lie.

Although the money was borrowed by Li Qing and did not really belong to him, according to a popular proverb, he could still dispose of the rest of the money at will.

"Solvency is another manifestation of wealth", in other words, the debt that can be repaid is not called debt, but the intertemporal distribution of wealth, which is one's own private assets.

More than 100 years ago, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was in a period of rapid development, the economic situation was very good, a large amount of money poured into the market, the overheated economy and unscrupulous lending gave birth to three behemoths engaged in money and credit business, and this proverb was said from one of the three behemoths, a master of the Sanjin Yuan Banknote Bank, and then it was widely spread for a while.

Nowadays, the economic and monetary tide has receded, but these three financial institutions that have taken advantage of the situation have survived along with this proverb, and they no longer make high-profile statements to guide the situation, but work quietly behind the scenes to cooperate with the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in managing the economic order.

Follow Yingxia Road to Liucang Avenue, and then turn into the third intersection of the avenue, all the way to the west, which is recognized as a wealthy area by Ningpu people.

Li Qing stood under the street sign, recalling the route he took when he went to Qinyang Hao's house last time, and it was just such a moment, in view of his very different dress from the people on Tielan North Street, there were already patrolling security officers who came forward to interrogate him.

This kind of law and order is incomparable to the old Hutong Street, and in fact, the latter with a higher population density is the area that needs to be strengthened more often.

Memory is sometimes not very useful, the road conditions here are really a bit complicated, Li Qing turned another intersection, and the scene he saw was still not quite the same as in his memory.

"Excuse me, may I ask, how should I get to Tielan North Street?"

A mother and daughter came to meet him, Li Qing saw it, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask for directions.

The little girl, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, raised her head and looked at Li Qing curiously, her big black eyes swirling.

Contrary to the girl's innocence, the fair-skinned mother, who was well maintained at first sight, looked vigilant, pulled her daughter behind her, and said, "I don't know, if you ask for directions, you can go to the sheriff." ”

As she spoke, the woman pointed to the security officer in the uniform of the assistant police not far away, and coincidentally, the security officer was the one who had interrogated Li Qing before.

So vigilant, do I look so bad as a good person...... Li Qing looked at the wary lady in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, he smiled and said "excuse me", and left in a hurry.

Because in the afterglow, Li Qing had already seen the security officer walking towards him, if he was caught, it would inevitably be another interrogation, and if he was a person with suspicious traces, it would inevitably be another trouble.

"Follow this street, and when you see Granny Zhang's bakery, turn right."

Li Qing was about to hide in the dark alley between the two buildings to escape the pursuit of the security guards, when he suddenly heard the sound of milk coming from behind him.

Looking back, it was the little girl who spoke kindly, but in exchange for her mother's whispered reprimand, as if hiding from the plague god, dragged the little girl away quickly.

Li Qing blinked, the security officer on the other side was approaching, and after a glance, he retreated into the dark alley and escaped into the shadows.

"Strange, that kid is clearly running here, what about people?"

The vigilantes who arrived stood at the mouth of the alley, looking at the empty alley in disbelief, this alley was very deep, and although it was accessible at both ends, it was impossible to run from one end to the other in such a short time.

As if he suddenly thought of something, the security officer's face suddenly turned a little panicked, glanced around a few times, and hurriedly turned to leave.

As he walked, he muttered something in a low voice.

Just a few meters away from where the security officer was standing, in the shadows, Li Qing, who had been smiling, gradually became solemn.

He just wanted to have fun, but he didn't want to hear such strange words.

"I can't do this errand, it's evil at night, and it's not peaceful during the day, the Holy Venerable is eternal, bless and bless ......"

There is no peace anywhere.

Li Qing stood in place for a while, and then followed the path pointed out by the little girl and found Tielan North Street.

"One-two-zero...... One, two, four...... One, two, seven, I remember, this is it. ”

The whole Tielan North Street is located in a single-family house, the street is clean, the environment is quiet, the road paved with gravel, sand and gravel is spacious and smooth, some people plant flowers and plants in front of the door, the inter-color embellishment, not rigid, but everywhere shows a strong comfortable atmosphere, showing that this is a livable place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A slow and rhythmic knock sounded, and Li Qing thought to himself that it was the door of a rich family, and the feeling of knocking seemed to be more comfortable.

After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room, Li Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he repeated Fang Cai's action again.

Knock knock!

This time, Li Qing knocked harder and more urgently, but he still got the same result.

He didn't seem to have come at the right time, Qin Yang was not at home.

According to the information that Li Qing has, Qin Yang lives alone, and he doesn't know if he didn't marry a wife, or because of work, he had no choice but to live separately from his wife.

Thinking of the words of the security officer before, out of caution, Li Qing first went to the side of the house, disappeared in a place where no one noticed, and then returned to the front of Gate 127.

Li Qing didn't try to knock on the door again, but stood in the middle of the road, raising his head and looking up at the magnificent single-family apartment in front of him.

"It's ......"

In the gray world, the door of the house is still closed, but in front of the gate, there is an additional gray-white air flow that slowly floats upward.

Following the trajectory of the airflow, Li Qing's gaze moved upward, and he saw that the gray-white air column climbed up the outer wall like a gecko, deftly crossed the iron railing, and sank into the closed windows of the second floor.

It's a vestige of supernatural abilities, and it's new, which means not so long ago...... Thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly shuddered, and without thinking about it, his figure quickly retreated, hiding in the shadow cast by the house behind him.

Squeak.

At the moment when the shadow enveloped Li Qing's whole person, the door of No. 127 was opened from the inside, and a man in his early thirties with a hooked nose walked out of it.

He glanced at the empty street with great speed, then turned and closed the door with a slightly puzzled look.

A carriage came at the right time, and Li Qing's vision was completely blocked by the carriage, where there seemed to be a layer of sound barrier, making his increased hearing useless.

After a brief pause, the hook-nosed man got into the carriage and vanished.

In the shadows, Li Qing stared at the direction where the carriage was far away, and was speechless for a long time.
