On August 15, 1945, when the Japanese emperor announced his unconditional surrender, the news came, and Peking was boiling, and people poured into the streets to celebrate the victory in various ways. On Liulichang Street, slogans and firecrackers rang out, students and citizens posted slogans on the walls and telephone poles, and the guys in the shops came out to watch the excitement. Captain Nishimura walked through the street with a team of demoralized Japanese military police, and Chen Fuqing's son, Chen Zhengke, stood on the side of the road and shouted: "Japanese devils, go back to your hometown!" Passers-by immediately echoed: "Go back to your hometown and ......" Chen Zhengke felt that it was not enough, and he picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the body of the Japanese military police. Heiji Oshima, the manager of the Golden Harvest Trading Company, and Yuji Yuo, the deputy manager, walked through the crowd with their heads bowed, and they both changed to Chinese-style summer cloth coats, and quickly quickened their pace when they saw this.

Zhang Youlin passed by on the street in a foreign car, with a comfortable smile on his face. He got out of the car at the door of Rong Bao Zhai and walked into the shop.

In Rong Bao Zhai, the case is covered with rice paper, Pu Xinshe is immersed in writing slogans, and Wang Renshan is holding a large inkstone in his hand to study ink. Zhang Youlin walked over: "Brother Pu, you can rest for a while, let me come." Zhang Youlin took the brush and wrote energetically, several students waited next to him, and took out the written slogan out the door, while Li Shandong and Xu Hai were busy wrapping paper, pens and paints for the guests.

Oshima and Yuji stopped at the door of Rong Bao Zhai, and looked inside, Wang Renshan frowned, put down the inkstone and walked out. Oshima and Yuji hurriedly bowed, and Oshima barely squeezed out a smile: "Manager Wang, the contempt trading company wants to do business with Rong Bao Zhai, our calligraphy and paintings are low for you, and you will make a lot of money." ”

"Rong Bao Zhai and your trading company have never had business dealings, this was the case in the past, and it is the same today, please go back." Wang Renshan simply refused.

"In the past, ours was coerced by Inoue Jun, and we were offended, so please ask Manager Wang to ......"

Oshima wanted to say something more, Wang Renshan didn't bother to deal with him, he turned to the shop: "Shandong, you can quickly arrange for the paper used in the school to be sent over." ”

"Okay." Li Shandong agreed inside.

Oshima and Yuji looked at each other for a moment, and the two bowed to Wang Renshan again: "Manager Wang, our farewell, please consider it." ”

"I don't have to think about it." Wang Renshan turned around and went back to the shop.

Oshima and Yuji walked away dejectedly, and just walked out not far away, they found Song Huairen looking around in the crowd, and the two greeted him as if they had seen a savior, and Oshima grabbed a step: "Mr. Song, we have a rich business......

Song Huairen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, and he said in a low voice: "Find a place to go." ”

Kazuji Oshima excitedly followed Song Huairen away.

In the evening, Zhang Youlin was sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, Wang Renshan came, poured tea with people, Zhang Youlin signaled: "Xinyuan Zhai's sour plum soup, give Manager Wang a bowl." ”

Wang Renshan waved his hand: "Don't, don't, it's still hot tea." ”

"Here, defeat the fire."

Wang Renshan sighed and sat down opposite Zhang Youlin: "Alas! The owner, Song Huairen's bastard thing, sooner or later will make me angry to death. ”

It turned out that Song Huairen had already promised to buy the calligraphy and paintings transferred by Jiahe Trading Company, and Zhang Youlin thought: "These two Japanese are also shrewd enough, and they can't take away the things they robbed, even if they are exchanged for cash and silver, it is better than confiscating them when they are repatriated." ”

"It is said that the acquisition of this batch of calligraphy and paintings is a good deal now." Wang Renshan was somewhat hesitant.

Zhang Youlin shook his head: "It's better not to mix with the Japanese, we've survived eight years, don't be unclear about this matter." ”

Wang Renshan stood up: "It's a pity, the grand event is antique, and the situation will stabilize in the future, this batch of calligraphy and paintings will definitely be sold at a good price, Song Huairen hit this idea." ”

"You warn him, this matter is not discussed, and it will not be done."

However, Song Huairen did not heed Zhang Youlin's warning, a few days later, early in the morning, there was no one on the street, Song Huairen followed the delivery truck of Jiahe Trading Company quietly to Rong Bao Zhai, he knocked on the door of the shop, and beckoned: "Everyone come out, follow and move inside." ”

The guys haven't come out yet, but they have alarmed Chen Zhengke and Qian Xicai in the Huiyuan Pavilion opposite, they looked out through the window, and Qian Xicai felt strange: "Hasn't Rong Bao Zhai never done business with the Japanese, what's wrong today?" ”

"Hey, pick up a bargain, isn't it a dry profit to collect Japanese things at this time?"

"Shopkeeper, then let's ...... too"

Before Qian Xi finished speaking, Chen Zhengke hurriedly interrupted him: "This Yangluo'er is not easy to pick up, don't mix it blindly." ”

Li Shandong also felt that something was wrong when he looked at the calligraphy and painting of the car, so he left under the pretext of leaving and hurriedly went to report to the manager and the owner.

When Wang Renshan arrived, the table in the north room of the backyard of Rong Bao Zhai was already scattered with calligraphy and paintings like a hill, and Song Huairen unfolded a picture like a treasure and approached Wang Renshan: "You see, this one is worth it." ”

Wang Renshan's face turned pale: "I said Lao Song, the owner has repeatedly explained that Rong Baozhai can't do business with the Japanese, why don't you listen?" ”

Song Huairen rolled the scroll angrily: "Manager Wang, we are businessmen, Rong Bao Zhai is because he listened to the owner's non-cooperation with the Japanese, he has been doing it for eight years, and the old man is about to lose everything, his owner is the most poor and can still have a shop to top, it's a big deal to sell the shop, but what if Rong Bao Zhai collapses, what should we do?" As long as this batch of calligraphy and paintings changes hands, it will be four or five times more profitable, why should we fall into such a vain? ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Youlin stepped into the threshold: "Huairen, you said it lightly, if the government investigates it, how did these calligraphy and paintings get into the hands of the Japanese, can you make it clear?" ”

Song Huairen flatteringly turned to Zhang Youlin: "Boss, look, this little thing has alarmed you." ”

"Don't pick something nice, give me the right thing to return, otherwise, you will leave Rong Bao Zhai." Zhang Youlin's words were stern, and after speaking, he shook his hand and went out.

Song Huairen looked at Zhang Youlin's back and cried with a sad face: "Hey! If this person is unlucky, the gold ingots can become donkey dung balls in his hands. ”

Wang Renshan glanced at him: "It's time for you to be unlucky, in the past eight years, if you want to say that we are close to each other, but what about you?" ”

"Me? What's wrong with me? Song Huairen's eyes widened.

"Do you still need me to say it? What's going on with Chen Fuqing's "Siming Mountain Residence Map"? There are also the owner's "Willow Bird Picture" and "Our Lady of Xiling", who told the secret? Don't you know in your heart? ”

Wang Renshan put out these few words, and Song Huairen immediately drooped his head.

"Choking, choking", the shouting of shaving his head sounded outside the door, and Wang Renshan shouted to Li Shandong in the courtyard: "Go quickly, stop Second Master Qin." ”

Li Shandong ran to the door to stop the shaver Qin Erye, let him into the backyard, Wang Renshan came to the front hall to lecture the guys, he glanced at the energetic, standing in two rows of guys, impassioned: "The hard days have finally passed, now, Rong Bao Zhai is going to regroup, and the branches around the country will be opened again, which can be said to be a hundred wastes." Today, everyone will clean their faces first, be spiritual, and start tomorrow, put on my new caftan and use the strength to eat, and everyone will do business together to do a prosperous business! ”

The guys replied in unison: "Good! ”

Song Huairen came in from the back door, and Wang Renshan's tone immediately changed: "I'll put my words here today, everyone in our shop is counted, don't think about crooked ways and ruin Rong Baozhai's reputation." ”

Song Huairen's face was red and white, and he walked in front of the guys and went to the drawer of the account cabinet to find the account book.

In the backyard of Rong Bao Zhai, Qin Erye put down the shaving pick against the wall, picked up the copper basin on the pick, and handed it to Li Shandong: "Gentlemen, please drive, pour some water." ”

Li Shandong took the copper basin and joked with Second Master Qin: "I said Second Master Qin, I poured water when I came back, and I have to collect less if you say anything today." Li Shandong turned around with a copper basin and almost touched Song Huairen who came out of the back door: "Yo, deputy manager, you let me." ”

Song Huairen turned sideways and let Li Shandong, Li Shandong was not in a hurry to go over, he stood in front of Song Huairen: "Deputy manager, now that you have recovered, your head should be replaced." As he spoke, Li Shandong made a head-cutting action.

Song Huairen was angry: "What's the matter, unload the mill and kill the donkey?" Isn't it your time to eat white flour steamed buns? ”

Zhang Youlin came out of the east room and said lukewarmly: "Huairen, you have worked hard for eight years, if you don't succeed, take a good rest at home, don't be busy coming to the shop first." ”

Song Huairen was anxious when he heard this: "Boss, are you letting me go?" ”

"I didn't say that."

Song Huairen slammed the account book on the windowsill and was about to go out angrily, but Zhang Youlin stretched out his hand to stop him: "Slow, you can return the calligraphy and paintings of Jiahe Trading Company first." ”

Song Huairen came to the door of Jiahe Trading Company dejectedly, Oshima greeted him, Song Huairen pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the car behind him: "Mr. Oshima, it's not that Song doesn't give you face, it's our host who doesn't let you accept it, and I can't help it, no, I'll bring it back for you again." ”

Oshima frowned, but he still bowed to Song Huairen: "Thank you, Mr. Song, I know you have done your best, thank you very much!" ”

Song Huairen looked around and whispered, "Mr. Oshima, I can personally buy your two calligraphy and paintings, I don't know if Mr. is willing." ”

"Whatever Mr. Song likes, just take it, just give a few dollars, and we can also use it as a travel fee when we return to China."

"Then you're welcome." Song Huairen picked out the "Willow Bird Picture" and "Xiling Holy Mother's Post" from the car, and took out five silver yuan and handed it to Oshima: "Don't be too little, you're welcome, these are all Chinese treasures, anyway, you also robbed them, these few dollars should be the money I sent you." ”

Oshima hesitated, but still reached out to take it, and he nodded helplessly: "Mr. Song said as much as he wanted, I agree." ”

On October 10, 1945, the surrender ceremony of the North China Theater to accept the surrender of the Japanese army was held in the Taihedian Square of the Forbidden City.

It was a crisp autumn day, and the officers and men of the 92nd Army of China's 11th Theater of Operations were in Taihedian Square under the leadership of Commander Hou Jingru, and the commander of the US Army, Major General Rocky, Wharton, and representatives of Britain, France, and the Soviet Union also came to attend. At 10:10, the military horn sounded on the top of Jingshan Mountain in the north of the Forbidden City, and the surrender ceremony officially began. General Sun Lianzhong, commander of the 11th Theater of Operations, stood in the middle of the surrender platform under the foundation of the Taihe Palace, and the military and civilians in the audience first paid silent tribute to the martyrs who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and then, Lieutenant General Nemo Bo, commander of the Japanese North China Front, signed a letter of surrender and presented it to General Sun Lianzhong. The Chinese military and civilians present were invigorated, and the crowds of people at the Taihe Temple, Wumen, Duanmen, and even Tiananmen Square were surging, and the masses spontaneously cheered "Long live China" and "Long live victory...... The cheers resounded in the sky and lasted for a long time. Although the surrender ceremony was only 25 minutes, it remained permanently in the depths of Zhang Youlin's memory and was unforgettable for the rest of his life.

After that, all units of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, according to the orders of the Chinese military, concentrated in Beiping, Tianjin, Tanggu, Baoding and other places, and from the beginning of November 1945 to January 1946, they surrendered to the Chinese army one after another, and the common people ushered in a short peaceful life.

Inoue Muramitsu was ordered to participate in the surrender ceremony as a representative of the Japanese army, and after completing this mission, he returned to his apartment, and he took his life by seppuku, the noblest method of death of a samurai in Japan. Instead of playing with the trick of dipping his fingers in water on his belly and asking someone to cut off his head, he solemnly took off his saber, pointed the tip of the knife at himself without hesitation, first cut open the abdomen vertically, and then stabbed the tip of the knife to the right and pierced the liver...... Blood splattered onto the snow-white walls around him, staining his military uniform red, and he collapsed in a pool of blood, enjoying intense pain, smiling and slowly dying...... One last thought flashed through his mind before he lost consciousness: how good it would be if there was no war!

Inoue's remains remained forever in Beiping, and his soul drifted across the sea, returned to his homeland, and was enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine.

These days, the receiving officials have also flown from Chongqing to Beiping, and Zhang Naiguang served as the director of the Beiping Judicial Bureau. Compared with more than ten years ago, there is a lot less Qiu Baqi in his body, but there seems to be no fundamental change in his bones.

At the gate of the Beiping Judicial Bureau, Zhang Naiguang got out of the car, Wei Dongxun greeted him, he took the bag in Zhang Naiguang's hand, and asked diligently: "Director, have you gained anything from this trip to Tianjin?" ”

Zhang Naiguang and Wei Dongxun walked inside, and said excitedly: "Treasure hunting!" ”

Back in the director's office, Zhang Naiguang opened his bag, took out a scroll from it, and carefully unfolded it on the desk: "Do you remember the He shopkeeper of Tianjin Dexin Zhai?" ”

Wei Dongxun took the teacup: "Remember." ”

"I met him in the antique street, and he is getting bigger and bigger."

"He sold it to you?"

"Old acquaintance, it still works, do you know what this is?"

Wei Dongxun looked at it for a long time and shook his head.

Zhang Naiguang looked very intoxicated: "Monk Huaisu's "Xiling Holy Mother Post". ”

"Your collection is getting higher and higher." Wei Dongxun complimented at the right time.

Zhang Naiguang sat down and lit a cigarette: "I also said that collecting this thing, as long as it is on the Tao, it will be fucking addicted." ”

Wei Dongxun handed over a stack of materials: "This is a list of traitors and a summary of crimes in Beiping during the Japanese puppet period. ”

Zhang Naiguang took it and threw it on the table: "Have you seen it all?" ”

"I've seen it, alas, these beasts who recognize thieves as their fathers have committed many crimes in the past eight years, and some people still have human lives in their hands, it's hard to write, do you see if it's ...... as soon as possible"

Zhang Naiguang interrupted him: "Don't be busy, go through the sieve first, stay if it's useful, I have to clean them up slowly; If it is a useless traitor, he should quickly enter the judicial process, and the sentence that should be sentenced will be shot. ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, people came and went in the glaze factory, Zhang Youlin walked towards Rong Bao Zhai, and Chen Zhengke came up from behind: "Yo, you haven't been resting at home?" ”

"Stay bored and panic, come out and shop."

"Business is good these days, isn't it?"

"After eight years, it's time for us to earn some money." As he spoke, Rong Baozhai arrived, and Zhang Youlin waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Chen, see you later." ”

There were more than a dozen guests in the shop who were shopping, Xu Hai and Li Shandong were moving pen and ink out in boxes, Yun Sheng saw Zhang Youlin coming in, and hurriedly greeted him: "Dongjia, you are here." "During the Anti-Japanese War, except for the Shanghai branch, the rest of the branches were closed one after another, Yunsheng has been sticking to Shanghai, and has just been transferred back to be a big guy recently.

"Busy with you, leave me alone." Zhang Youlin sat down.

"You drink." Yun Sheng poured tea and turned around to receive the guests again.

He came to a guest in a railway uniform, and the guest held a list in his hand and said anxiously: "We want a total of 800 pens, as well as files, letterheads, envelopes, ......" The guest handed the list to Yun Sheng: "I will send someone to pull it tomorrow." ”

Yun Sheng took the list and looked at it, with a sad face: "Sir, I'm really sorry, there are too many guests who want stationery these days, and it's ...... for a while." I can't make it up for you. ”

The guest looked at the people waiting in line in the shop and shook his head reluctantly: "Then I have to change the one." ”

"Don't be busy, you see if this will work, this afternoon, I will send you a part, you use it first, three days later, the rest will be delivered to you together, and I promise not to delay you."

A smile appeared on the customer's face: "It's best to be able to deliver the goods." ”

"It's the first time you've come back today, even if we know each other, you can use things in the future, just make a phone call, don't use it to run back."

Xu Hai walked over with a guest in a suit: "Big man, this gentleman wants a large amount of goods, you see." As he spoke, he handed over a manifest.

"You're busy, don't delay your business, I'll go."

"You walk slowly. Xu Hai, send this gentleman. ”

Xu Hai sent the guests in railway uniforms to walk out, and the guests in suits looked around: "Rong Bao Zhai's business is really good." ”

Yun Sheng looked at the bill of goods in his hand: "It's all up to everyone." ”

"When I was in Nanjing before the war, I used Rong Bao Zhai's things."

Yun Sheng raised his head: "For a while, all departments of the government are restoring the system, and there are many stationery utensils, and the inventory in the shop is in short supply for a while. ”

"That's it, you can also send me urgent ones first, and the rest will be replenished when they are available."

Yunsheng arched his hand: "Then I will thank you, I will use Rong Bao Zhai's goods in Nanjing, you are an old guest." Yunsheng stopped Li Shandong: "Shandong, prepare Mr.'s goods, and send them over early in the morning." ”

"Okay." Li Shandong took the order and went to stock up.

"Come, I'll have a cup of tea with you." Yun Sheng is letting the guests in.

Ren Qixian stood at the back door and shouted, "Big man, Manager Wang, please come over." ”

"Got it, I'll go in a minute."

A delivery man entered the shop: "Rong Bao Zhai's lake pen has arrived, where will I put it for you?" ”

"Please send it to the back warehouse for me. Xu Hai, take him to the back library. ”

Yun Sheng had just taken two steps with the guest when the phone rang.

Wei Zishan, a junior apprentice, picked up the receiver and immediately stopped Yun Sheng: "Big man, your phone." ”

The guest stopped: "Yes, you are busy, don't bother." ”

Yun Sheng arched his hand: "I'm really sorry for you, then let's ...... another day"

Zhang Youlin looked at the busy scene in the shop and thought thoughtfully.

When they got home, Zhang Youlin and He Jiabi were talking, and they ran into the living room excitedly: "Sir, madam, see who is coming." ”

Zhang Youlin and He Jiabi raised their heads and looked at the door, only to see Zhang Xiaolu, who was in the dust, walking in with a suitcase, the teacup in He Jiabi's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", her body shook, and she almost fell, Zhang Xiaolu grabbed a step forward to support He Jiabi: "Mom, I'm back." ”

He Jiabi burst into tears in an instant: "Child, is it really you?" I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

"Mom, it's me, you're not dreaming."

Zhang Youlin was also very excited on the side: "Xiaolu, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, your mother and I miss you very much, you can sit down, let Dad take a good look at you." ”

A family of three sat opposite each other, Zhang Xiaolu looked at her white-haired parents, and said emotionally: "Dad, Mom, I miss you too, all these years...... You have suffered. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaolu, where have you been all these years?" Zhang Youlin asked eagerly.

"I participated in the expeditionary force and fought a few battles in Burma, no, now I am demobilized."

He Jiabi's eyes widened: "Oh my God, my son actually went to the battlefield too?" The Zhang family has never been a soldier. Son, have you ever killed a Japanese devil? ”

Xiaolu was quite proud: "Of course, there are more than one or two, I started to be a machine gunner, and later the commander said that I was educated, and asked me to go to the Indian army to learn to drive a tank." During the counteroffensive in northern Burma, I participated in the battle in a tank, and I was already a lieutenant at that time, and in that battle we opened the Sino-Indian highway, and the Japanese 33rd Army was completely annihilated. ”

Zhang Youlin was very excited: "Well done, son, really give your dad a long face!" ”

"Cousin Peter...... sacrificed. Xiaolu's tone was lowered.

He Jiabi nodded: "We heard about it." ”

Song Huairen was drinking alone at home, his youngest son came over to grab a few peanuts, Song Huairen reached out and slapped the child: "Go, get out of the way." ”

"Mommy......" the child cried and went out.

Song Huairen shouted impatiently outside the door: "Hey, hurry up, it's so grinding to get two dishes." ”

Song's wife came in with the dishes: "Who are you angry with?" The nose is not the nose, the face is not the face? The dish has to be cooked. ”

"Damn, these days it's a camel in Mentougou - unlucky (coal) thoroughly, rubbing fire in everything."

Song's wife put the plate on the table: "Whoever can't get along with you will do it, don't get angry outside and come back to smash the raft with us, I also told you that the maintenance chairman of Beicheng, Jin Ye, let the government kill him." ”

Song Huairen was taken aback: "Master Jin...... Is it really killed? ”

"What did I say? Don't pull and pull with the Japanese, you can't do things that offend people, but do you listen? Now it's muddy, right? Let's think about it. ”

Song Huairen flicked his chopsticks: "Damn, why didn't you calculate that there would be today?" He thought about it and felt that he had to start with Zhang Youlin, so he didn't care about eating the food, and got up and went to Zhang's house.

At this moment, Wei Dongxun came to the door of Rong Bao Zhai in a car, he got out of the car proudly, looked around, and was not in a hurry to enter Rong Bao Zhai. Yun Sheng greeted him warmly: "Yo, isn't this Mr. Wei?" It's been years. ”

Wei Dongxun looked Yun Sheng up and down: "Yun Sheng, drink, look at this posture, you are the shopkeeper, right?" ”

"You can really lift me, there are few people in the shop now, I follow Manager Wang blindly, yes, you are a distinguished guest, please come in."

Yun Sheng accompanied Wei Dongxun into the shop, and he instructed Xu Hai: "Hurry up and ask Manager Wang to go to the back, just say that Mr. Wei has arrived." ”

"Hey!" Xu Hai answered.

Wei Dongxun looked around: "I haven't been here for more than ten years, and it's still the same." ”

"I won't tell you, just slowed up, the Japanese have been doing business for many years, and they have been holding on, if it is not for the recovery, I am afraid I will not be able to survive, please take a seat."

Wei Dongxun sat down: "It's okay now, the Anti-Japanese War has been won, and it's time to enjoy the peaceful days." ”

"You have to have a big customer like you to support the market, and the business can be prosperous." Yun Sheng hurriedly answered.

Li Shandong brought the tea, and Wei Dongxun picked up the tea bowl: "Hey, is Zhang Xi'er here?" I owe him a favor. ”

Yun Sheng sighed: "Cough, don't mention it, that year, the Japanese hit Nanjing, and they hit the shop with one shot, so he didn't come out, and Song Xuan also covered his head." ”

"Tsk, tsk! It's a pity, I really guarded the shop and put my life in......"

Wang Renshan came in through the back door: "Ouch, Mr. Wei, rare guest, rare guest, rare guest, why didn't you come over today to say hello in advance?" Wang Renshan sat down and chatted with Wei Dongxun.

Song Huairen came to Zhang's house, he knelt in front of Zhang Youlin with a "plop", and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Dongjia, look at my dedication to Rong Bao Zhai for many years, you can save my life, I really regret that I shouldn't have dealed with the Japanese, I regret it......"

Zhang Xiaolu pushed the door in, he glanced at Song Huairen disdainfully, and sat on the sofa.

Zhang Youlin raised his hand: "Get up, I still have something to do, you go back first." ”

Song Huairen stood up: "Boss, please." He bowed deeply to Zhang Youlin and walked away.

Zhang Xiaolu looked at Song Huairen's back: "Dad, why do you still keep him in the shop?" ”

"I've been thinking about this for a few days, as soon as I mentioned letting him go, he cried and wiped his tears, and he came several times, alas, after all, he is an old man in the shop, and he said in good conscience that in the past ten years, Song Huairen has worked hard for the shop, and we can't do it all. However, if God let him suffer retribution, no one can stop him. Zhang Youlin picked up the newspaper on the table and frowned, "Xiaolu, I really don't understand, the puppet of the Japanese, the commander of the military police, Huang Nanpeng, and the chief of the police Cui Jianchu, have now become the chief and deputy director of the Beiping Military Police Joint Office of the National Government, what kind of matter is this?" ”

"I think the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will have to fight sooner or later, and the days ahead will not be as peaceful as you imagined."

Zhang Youlin was surprised: "What is this for?" What's wrong with not having enough fights with the Japanese? ”

"Wait and see, Dad, I met Zhao Sanlong this afternoon."

"Three dragons? You didn't let him come back? Right now, the shop is short of manpower. ”

Zhang Xiaolu lowered his voice: "Sanlong has defected to the Communist Party and is with Wu Xueqian." ”

"This Wu Xueqian kidnapped a capable guy of mine." Zhang Youlin thought for a while, "It's okay, Sanlong has a future for himself." ”

Coming out of Zhang's house, Song Huairen pondered the words of the owner, "going back" can be understood as going home, or it can be understood as going back to the shop, Song Huairen was the latter, and he walked towards Liulichang. Passing by the Hanwenzhai Bookstore, I happened to bump into Chen Zhengke, Chen Zhengke spat on the ground twice, and scolded loudly: "If you recognize a thief as your father, you will not die well!" ”

Song Huairen pretended not to hear, and he quickened his pace. When he was about to arrive at the gate of Rong Bao Zhai, he was just in time for Wang Renshan and Yun Sheng to accompany Wei Dongxun out of the shop, Wei Dongxun stood at the door of the car and told again: "Manager Wang, don't forget the entrustment of our director." ”

"Don't worry, if you have something good, you must send it to Director Zhang first."

Wei Dongxun got into the car, and Yun Sheng closed the car door: "Come over when you are free." ”

Wei Dongxun's car drove away, and Wang Renshan said to Yunsheng: "Zhang Naiguang returned to Beiping to take over the Justice Bureau, and we really can't slack off on receiving a senior officer like this." ”

What? Zhang Naiguang took over the Bureau of Justice? God help me! Song Huairen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and there was a smile on his face that had been gloomy for several days, and he walked over with a conversation: "Manager, Zhang Naiguang is back again?" ”

"Ah, a lot of old customers have come back these days."

Song Huairen tentatively said: "Then I will contact them?" We have to point to them in this business, don't we? ”

"If you want to go, go there." Wang Renshan coped with it without a ride.

Song Huairen became excited: "Okay, I promise to divide five by two to connect the old relationship, and you can do it." ”

In the next few days, Song Huairen kept stringing around, his ability to do things was not to be said, and he basically pulled the former customers back to Rong Bao Zhai. He kept staring at Wei Dongxun, and invited him three times in a row, and Wei Dongxun barely appreciated the light to have a meal with him.

In the private room of Cuixi Building, Song Huairen diligently served Wei Dongxun dishes: "You eat, eat." ”

Wei Dongxun didn't move his chopsticks, he said coldly: "Mr. Song, it stands to reason that I shouldn't sit with you, you know?" That's a lot of letters. ”

"Mr. Wei, I can't help it, the Japanese are forcing you with guns, don't you do it? Besides, our owner and manager have shrunk back when they encounter problems, and only I have been the first to go out, which is also for Rong Bao Zhai. Song Huairen had a bitter look on his face.

Wei Dongxun sat upright: "For Rong Bao Zhai? Is that why you are a traitor? ”

Song Huairen handed over a scroll: "This is Monk Huaisu's "Our Lady of Xiling", you see, Mr. Wei, we are old acquaintances, and I have to trouble you to say a few more kind words in front of Director Zhang." ”

"Our Lady of Xiling"? Didn't Director Zhang receive one from Tianjin? Why did it pop up again? There must be something false in this, Wei Dongxun was silent, he didn't answer.

Song Huairen put the scroll on the table: "This is a filial honor to you." Then he took out another scroll: "This is Song Huizong's "Willow Bird Picture", which I honored Director Zhang." Song Huairen leaned towards Wei Dongxun quite mysteriously: "These two things are the treasures of our owner's family, and they are worth a fortune ......."

"Zhang Youlin's family heirloom, how did it get into your hands?" Wei Dongxun obviously didn't believe it.

"You don't know this, these two treasures have been snatched by the Japanese a long time ago, and I'm not ...... After dealing with the Japanese, I got it back. I know that you and Director Zhang both like calligraphy and painting, so I didn't tell our host, and left a special honor for you. ”

Wei Dongxun was skeptical: "Really? Director Zhang has to go to Nanjing next week, your business is too big, I can't be the master, let's wait for Director Zhang to come back. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, just register with you first." Song Huairen poured wine for Wei Dongxun, and his heart was much more steady. In Song Huairen's opinion, as long as Wei Dongxun handed over the "Willow Bird Picture", Zhang Naiguang would not be embarrassed for himself nine times out of ten, he is the master of knowing the goods, is "The Willow Bird Picture" a joke? As long as Zhang Naiguang is not serious, his own business is just a piece of cake...... The more Song Huairen thought about it, the more excited he became, as if his affairs had been settled.

The shop was very busy, but Zhang Youlin still sent someone to call Wang Renshan to his home. There are several calligraphy and paintings on the table, all of which are Zhang Youlin's private collection, Wang Renshan unfolded one and looked at it, a little distressed: "Dongjia, such a good thing to give away?" It's a shame. ”

"That's no way, Ruth has to be paved first, these people in the bank still have to be diligent, how about buying and selling these days?" Zhang Youlin changed his posture on the sofa.

Wang Renshan looked quite excited: "It's always been good, the government is restoring the system, all departments and bureaus have begun to work, and the shop has done several large orders with the railway, justice, education, and finance bureaus, and pens, ink, paper, letterheads, and envelopes are all out in large quantities. ”

Different from Wang Renshan, Zhang Youlin's eyes were full of worry, he looked at Wang Renshan: "Such a large business, if you don't get it right, it will become a false fire, when Zhang Xun was restored, Erqingni asked the shopkeeper Zhuang to send hundreds of taels of silver to the palace stationery, but it only took twelve days for Zhang Xun to finish, and the shopkeeper Zhuang was relieved of this matter, so he couldn't afford to get sick." ”

"The transaction with the government cannot be cashed out for the time being, saying that the government's office expenses have not yet arrived, and the fiscal revenue is not available for the time being, but it is ......"

Zhang Youlin interrupted Wang Renshan's words: "I don't know if you have thought about it, if you can't cash out the bulk business with the government, the store's receivables will be pressed more and more, and the working capital will be occupied for a long time. ”

"How can you not want to, but after holding back for so many years, it is not easy to survive until the recovery, who can not do the business in hand knowing that it is inappropriate? The owner, don't tell you, I'm also worried about this, seeing that the goods in the shop are almost gone, the library is empty, let's replenish the goods, the funds are really stretched, now only give people a deposit is not done, every family is waiting for the rice to go to the pot, they also have to use money for raw materials, especially brushes and rice paper, Rong Bao Zhai's goods have always been customized, can not be caught in the market casually, do not hurry up to order, see that it will not be able to help, such a big shop if there is nothing to sell...... Alas, how difficult! Wang Renshan was also worried, and he couldn't help frowning.

"I'm afraid that more heartwarming things are still to come, the current economic situation is changing rapidly, I am afraid that we will finally recover the payment, and then encounter currency depreciation."

Wang Renshan was taken aback: "Are you saying that counterfeit money is not safe?" ”

"The Japanese are gone, the Nanjing government will definitely not allow the joint coupons to continue to circulate, and the Ministry of Finance may have an explanation one day, it is okay to exchange it, if it is ......?"

Wang Renshan became nervous: "The government won't calculate the money in the hands of the people, right?" This is our own government. ”

Zhang Youlin shook his head: "This is not certain, but I am still a little ready." ”

Zhu Zihua, the leader of the second group of the Beiping Station of the Ministry of National Defense Secrecy Bureau, also graduated from Tsinghua University, two years higher than Zhang Xiaolu. Zhu Zihua's family is poor, and he has received a lot of help from Zhang Xiaolu, and it can even be said that without Zhang Xiaolu's help, it would be almost difficult for him to complete his studies at Tsinghua University. Zhu Zihua is a conscientious person, and when he learned that Zhang Xiaolu was demobilized, he took the initiative to find him, and by the way, he also learned about Song Huairen.

That night, they met in a private room in Hongbin Building, and Zhu Zihua raised his glass: "I really didn't expect that you participated in the expeditionary force and became a tank lieutenant. ”

Zhang Xiaolu was quite surprised: "Oh, you are so well-informed? I haven't opened my mouth yet, how do you know it? ”

"Hey! In our business, you always know a little bit better than anyone else, you don't have to mind. Zhu Zihua and Zhang Xiaolu clinked glasses, drank all the wine in the cup and asked, "Xiaolu, it stands to reason that with your qualifications and military exploits, you should have a great future in the army, but why did you choose to be demobilized?" Is it to follow the example of the ancient celebrities and retire? ”

Zhang Xiaolu said with a smile: "I still imitate the ancient celebrities, how can I have so many eyes?" The thing is very simple, the war is over, the country does not need so many troops, so it is natural to disarm and turn the main energy to construction, and I don't want to be a soldier for the rest of my life, so I took the initiative to ask to be discharged. ”

Zhu Zihua shook his head: "I'm afraid the war can't end, although the War of Resistance is over, but another war is about to start again, and at that time, you reserve officers will still be recalled to the army." ”

"Lao Zhu, please forgive me for saying that I joined the army to fight for the country and the nation, and if the Japanese do not surrender for a day, I will never stop fighting. But now, I will not return to the army, because if the war breaks out again, it will be a civil war, a war of fratricidal warfare, and I will never take part in such a war. Zhang Xiaolu was resolute.

"You can't help but be a little angry, the Civil War is not necessarily a bad thing, the American Civil War is also a civil war, but what is the result? Isn't it a strong country and nearly a hundred years of prosperity? ”

Zhang Xiaolu was speechless for a while, and was silent for a long time before speaking: "No matter what, I will never participate in the civil war." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll tell you something that the young owner of Rong Bao Zhai is interested in." Zhu Zihua lowered his voice, "The government is going to change the currency system, and the exchange ratio is ......" He dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote 1:200 on the table. Zhu Zihua revealed this top-secret news to Zhang Xiaolu, which can be regarded as a reward for Zhang Xiaolu's help back then.

Zhang Xiaolu was taken aback.

Zhu Zihua then asked, "Do you have a person named Song Huairen in Rong Bao Zhai?" ”

Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"We have received a lot of reports about him, saying that he was involved in some persecution of his compatriots during the Japanese puppet period."

"It's basically true, he didn't do well during the Japanese pseudo-period, in order to help Inoue Murako engage in antique calligraphy and painting, even my father was threatened by him, but...... Lao Zhu, this doesn't seem to be your secret bureau's business, right? ”

"How not? The traitors and Japanese spies who appeared in the occupied areas are all under our disposal, and this principle has not changed to this day. Zhu Zihua took out his notebook, "You talk about it in detail." ”

After breaking up with Zhu Zihua, Zhang Xiaolu hurried home and told his father the news that the government was going to change the currency system, and Zhang Youlin immediately sent someone to find Wang Renshan.

It didn't take long for Wang Renshan to wipe the sweat on his face and come in: "Dongjia, what's so urgent?" ”

"Renshan, you're here, do you remember what we discussed a few days ago? And it was fulfilled. ”

Wang Renshan was stunned: "The counterfeit currency is going to be invalidated?" How to redeem it? ”

Zhang Youlin stretched out his finger and drew it: "1 fiat currency is exchanged for 200 fake Chinese reserve bonds, it's really black, no matter how black the devil was, it was only a military ticket 10.4 than fiat currency, you say, I finally looked forward to our own government back, how can it be more black-hearted than the devil?" ”

Wang Renshan was stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "Oh my God, whatever you're afraid of, it's troublesome!" ”

"Hurry up and find Director Xue of the Central Bank, don't delay."

"I'll go." Wang Renshan almost ran away from Zhang's house.

Xue Jindong, director of the Beiping Branch of the Central Bank, was admiring Li Wanchun's "General Tree" in Qingyuan with relish, and Wang Renshan couldn't help but say something and pulled him out. Xue Jindong was quite dissatisfied: "Manager Wang, what do you say?" I'm addicted to the play, can't we talk about it after listening to it? ”

Wang Renshan arched his hand: "Mr. Xue, you have to help with this matter no matter what, don't worry, I will ask someone to send it directly to the house tonight for the little bit of filial piety, it is really rude today, apologize for the crime another day, and set up a charter for Boss Li, you will bear with me, bear with me!" ”

"Let's just take this time, let's not take it as an example."

"That's, that's, that's it."

Xue Jindong's aunt and wife also came out of the theater garden, and she complained: "There is something to talk about during the day, but at night, so that people can't listen to all the plays!" ”

"Madam, I'm sorry, rude, rude......" Wang Renshan made a big difference.

Leaving Qingyuan, Wang Renshan went to find Cao Mingsheng, the manager of the Crédit Bank, but this old man was really hard to find, and Wang Renshan found out that it was almost midnight when he found out where he lived. Cao Mingsheng was transferred from Shanghai to Beiping, without bringing his family, he lived in a hotel.

Wang Renshan hurriedly walked to the lobby of the hotel, and at the door, he accidentally tripped over the carpet, and the doorman hurriedly reached out to support him: "Sir, be careful." ”

Wang Renshan ignored the doorman, he went straight to the front desk: "Check for me which room Manager Cao of Huili Bank lives in." ”

"Please wait...... Oh, Manager Cao is in room 3011, please ask your surname, I'll give Manager Cao a call first......"

Without waiting for the receptionist to call Manager Cao, Wang Renshan turned around and left.

"Hey, sir, you can't go up without Manager Cao's permission......"

Wang Renshan didn't pay attention to this, he ran up the stairs in three steps and two steps. found room 3011, Wang Renshan knocked on the door quickly: "Manager Cao, Manager Cao......" There was no one speaking for a long time, and Wang Renshan almost smashed the door.

The foreigner in the next room poked his head out and said dissatisfiedly in English, "Sir, please be quiet. ”

The waiter on the floor also came: "Sir, please be gentle." ”

Wang Renshan gave the waiter a banknote and continued to slam the door. When the door finally opened, a greased, disheveled prostitute blocked the door, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" What door are you slamming? Who are you looking for? ”

Wang Renshan was so angry that he pulled the prostitute out of the door, and the prostitute turned around and grabbed Wang Renshan: "What are you doing?" He hasn't paid the money yet, so why do you want to play for nothing? ”

Cao Mingsheng leaned out of the door and said, "Hey, what's going on?" ”

Wang Renshan shook off the prostitute, took out a wad of banknotes and threw it over: "Is it enough?" Let's go! ”

"Hey, don't let her go......"

Before Cao Mingsheng finished speaking, Wang Renshan pushed him into the house: "Manager Cao, I have an urgent matter, we have to talk about it first...... Wang Renshan slammed the door with a casual "bang".

At this moment, Rong Bao Zhai was brightly lit, Yunsheng took the guys to inventory overnight, and Xu posters counted: "Nine Purple One Sheep 141, Double Material Writing Volume 219, Ermine Whisker 124, Five Purple Five Sheep 266 ......"

Yunsheng checked item by item: "141 pairs, 219 pairs, 124 pairs, 266 pairs ......"

After the newspaper was reported, Xu Hai stopped: "I said big guy, the owner asked us to dump things overnight, what are you going to do?" The manager didn't even show his face, so something must have happened, right? ”

Li Shandong, who was next to him, replied: "Do your job, don't talk too much if you shouldn't know." ”

Qian Xicai pushed open the hidden door and probed in: "Yo, it's in full swing, what are you busy with?" ”

"Go, go, it's none of your business, let's go home and see your shop honestly." Li Shandong said angrily.

"You have a good job, what kind of majesty do you play with me......" Qian Xi muttered and left.

Xu Hai continued to report the number: "145 feather arrows, 262 leaf tendons, 339 red hairs, 243 crane feet......"

Yun Sheng looked at the account book and frowned: "Stop, stop, the number of crane's feet is wrong, you do it again." ”

Xu Hai spread the pen on the counter and counted five again in a pile: "One five, ten ......"

The next morning, Rong Bao Zhai opened on time, but the other guys were not there, only Xu Hai was tidying up the counter. Wang Renshan came in with a tired face and looked at Xu Hai in surprise: "Why are you alone?" What about them? ”

Xu Hai stopped what he was doing: "Everyone was busy for most of the night last night, and today the big guy took them to clear the warehouse in the backyard just after dawn." ”

"How's it going?"

"The store was finished last night."

"The goods in the store are not sold today, you go get a pen and write a notice."

Xu Hai took pen and ink, helped Wang Renshan put the paper on the counter, and couldn't help asking: "Manager, the door of our shop is open today, this is not for sale......"

"We have no choice but to call the big guy."

"Hey." Xu Hai turned around and walked towards the back door of the shop.

"By the way, call Shandong too." Wang Renshan spared again.

The notice was written quickly, Yun Sheng and Li Shandong also came over, Yun Sheng was sweating profusely, and he hurriedly wiped it: "Manager, you called me?" ”

Wang Renshan handed the notice to Yunsheng: "Hurry up and post it, it will not be open today, and then settle the accounts and take inventory." ”

Li Shandong yawned one after another, he picked up a bowl of tea and poured it down, Wang Renshan turned to him: "Shandong, you go to collect the payment from door to door, you can collect as much as you can, remember, bring the money back directly, don't send it to the bank." ”

Li Shandong hesitated slightly: "Do you accept them all?" ”

"Pick the big ones, collect them one by one, say more good things, hurry up."

"Okay!" Li Shandong found the account books and left.

"Xu Hai, you go to the train station immediately, buy two tickets to Bengbu, and follow me to Anhui to enter rice paper."

"I'll go." Xu Hai agreed, but he was unwilling, and asked tentatively, "Manager, what's going on?" ”

Wang Renshan waved his hand: "Don't ask, you'll know in two days." Yunsheng, you go to the bank and withdraw all the money in Rong Bao Zhai's name. ”

Yun Sheng was stunned: "All of them?" I didn't have to say anything, and the bank ...... I'm afraid I won't agree, right? ”

"I said hello to Director Xue of the central bank and Manager Cao of Huili, you just go." After arranging the burning of his eyebrows one by one, Wang Renshan sat down and took a breath.

Rong Bao Zhai's door is impressively pasted with a notice of "today's inventory, temporarily closed", Chen Zhengke and other shop guys and pedestrians came over to see, Chen Zhengke shook his head: "Hey, Rong Bao Zhai is fresh, the inventory in broad daylight, the transaction is not done?" ”

"Maybe something happened, right?" The Zhao guy in the shop next door guessed.

Li Shandong came out of it: "Lao Zhao, you are guessing, nothing has happened." ”

"Guess? Liuli factory has been vertical for decades, except for the one that has turned over and closed down, there has never been a shop that has been put in broad daylight to buy and sell, inventory, Rong Bao Zhai......"

Chen Zhengke was stunned: "Could it be that you want to turn over?" ”

Guy Zhao nodded: "It's really not possible, what's the matter, you don't take the opportunity to get it?" ”

Someone chimed in: "Yes, Shopkeeper Chen, don't let go of such a good opportunity......"

"Go, go, go, it's my turn." Chen Zhengke turned around and went back to the shop.

Wang Renshan sat on the chair and fell asleep, I don't know how long later, he was awakened by a phone ringing, he hurriedly got up and picked up the receiver, his face changed greatly after hearing this, and he hurriedly called a car to go to the central bank.

Yun Sheng stood at the door of the central bank and looked anxiously, Wang Renshan came from a distance in a foreign car, Yun Sheng quickly greeted him, Wang Renshan asked anxiously while getting out of the car: "Why did Director Xue change his hexagram?" ”

"Director Xue said that after receiving a notice from the head office, all deposits will be frozen."

"Freezing? Frozen so soon? Wang Renshan was very puzzled.

"I'm almost wearing out my mouth, and Director Xue won't give me life or death."

The foreign coachman waited impatiently: "Don't you two freeze me, let's pay for the car first?" ”

"Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yun Sheng hurriedly took out the money.

Wang Renshan thought for a moment: "You wait here for a while, I'll go find Xue Jindong." ”

Xue Jindong was practicing throwing his sleeves in the office drunkenly, and he was still beating gongs and drums in his mouth: "Boom, boom......"

The knock on the door rang continuously for a long time, and Xue Jindong opened the door reluctantly: "Hey, who should I be, it turned out to be Manager Wang, come in." ”

"Director Xue, what a big Yaxing, you are really good about this one, I will definitely charter a church for you tomorrow."

Xue Jindong sat on the sofa: "Yes, don't pick something nice, let's have something practical, let's put it this way, I also have something to worry about, you can also help me relieve my worries, okay?" ”

Wang Renshan also sat down: "Look at what you said, you are in power, what else can you worry about?" ”

"Manager Wang, let's just laugh haha, I really admire you Rong Bao Zhai, well-informed."

Wang Renshan smiled: "Director Xue, I don't know anything, there is indeed something to emergency in the shop, but I don't dare to toss it like this." ”

Xue Jindong took the official tone: "It's not that I embarrass you, the head office issued a notice early this morning, and all merchants' deposits are prohibited from withdrawing, which I can't violate." ”

"Director Xue, the emperor is far away, what head office is not the head office, you are the emperor in the Central Bank of Beiping, since you are the emperor, there is nothing that cannot be done." Wang Renshan approached Xue Jindong, "You can rest assured, I know what to do...... Wang Renshan stretched out two fingers, "How about it?" ”

Xue Jindong didn't even think about it, so he broke Wang Renshan's fingers into three.

Wang Renshan hesitated for a moment: "Cheng, it's so decided, I will send it to your house in the evening." ”

Xue Jindong waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, let's save some trouble, if you lack money, I will lend it to you." ”

Wang Renshan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "That...... Then I'll thank you. ”

Li Shandong also did not go well, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother in the government, and he didn't want to come out, seeing that it was almost noon, he didn't dare to delay, and went to the judicial bureau hungry. After waiting in the reception room of the Justice Bureau for a long time, Wei Dongxun came out to reply to him: "Please tell Manager Wang when you go back, bear with me, Director Zhang said that as soon as the office expenses arrive, I will first transfer it to Rong Baozhai." ”

"When will the office expenses be paid? Tell the director about it, give some first, and count as much as you want. Li Dongyang begged.

"No, no, Director Zhang's words, you go back, I'm sorry." Wei Dongxun shook his hand.

Li Shandong had no choice but to go to the Railway Bureau again. In the evening, he returned to the shop tiredly and pushed a small packet of banknotes in front of Wang Renshan.

Wang Renshan became angry when he saw it: "You have to go back to such a little bit all day?" How did you do it? ”

Li Shandong pouted: "I said I would give it to everyone, but I didn't have any cash, so I just made up so much." ”

"Alas!" Wang Renshan sighed, "Let's hurry up and eat." He turned around and instructed Yun Sheng: "You will take someone to move the things in the shop out of seventy percent to the back warehouse, from tomorrow, we will not sell the bulk goods for the time being, just say that there is no stock, remember, don't open an order, tell the guest that the goods are arrived and we will send them." ”

"Then let's open a shop and don't sell anything......" Yun Sheng hesitated.

"It's not that it doesn't sell, it's a large quantity that can't be sold, you listen well, all the pens and inks used by students, and the things that are used by calligraphers and painters on the list, we will supply them as usual, if someone comes to inquire about it, it will say that the goods of the shop came out too quickly a few days ago, and it is out of stock now, so let's do it. In addition, you will send a telegram to the supplier early tomorrow morning to place an order, we will pay the full amount this time, and remit the payment as soon as the manifest is confirmed, remember, all the payment must be remitted within three days, and the bill of goods will be settled. ”

"Okay, don't worry." Yun Sheng was just about to go out, but Wang Renshan stopped him again, "Have you bought the ticket?" ”

Yun Sheng patted his head: "Ouch, manager, I forgot to tell you, Xu Hai only bought an extra seat ticket when he went to the station, and there was no ticket at the station for the past two days." ”

"Why?" Wang Renshan was surprised.

"He asked, and said that most of the buses had been changed to military trains, and he heard that there was another war."

"War? Who fights with whom? ”

"The government is fighting the Communist Party."

When Wang Renshan heard this, he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, he roared out of shape: "War, war, fucking endless, just a few days old, here again!" ”

"Manager, you are discouraged, the owner...... I'm waiting for you. Yun Sheng cautiously reminded.

Wang Renshan came to Zhang's house, and Zhang Youlin learned that he had only bought a ticket, so he persuaded him not to go and let Yunsheng do it for him.

Wang Renshan shook his head: "No, I'll go to insurance for this matter personally." ”

Zhang Youlin sighed: "Alas, the current scene is indeed no other way than to buy goods. ”

"Speculation is not the right way to do business, but the situation is forced to do it, so I have to do it once in a while to solve the eyebrows." Wang Renshan was helpless.

"It's a pity, Rong Bao Zhai only has the four treasures of the study, if you deal in grain, salt, sugar, and cotton, you will be able to do it now."

"Boss, I beg you to ...... your business" Wang Renshan looked a little uneasy.

Zhang Youlin took out a few deposit receipts and handed them to him: "This is from Huili and Citibank, my old background is all here, you can watch and use it." ”

Wang Renshan took the deposit receipt, tears came out of his eyes, he walked to the Buddha statue and knelt down, kowtowing again and again: "The Buddha and Bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, please bless Rong Bao Zhai, let us survive this catastrophe, in the future, I will give you a golden body......"

Early in the morning, Zhu Zihua walked into the office of the second group of the Beiping Station of the Secret Bureau, and agent Zheng Tianyong stood up: "Team leader, you are early." ”

"Have you found out about Song Huairen?"

Zheng Tianyong nodded: "It is clear that Song Huairen worked for the tiger during the Japanese occupation and participated in many things to assist the occupying army in persecuting the Chinese, but according to the crime he committed, it is not a capital crime, because he has no human life in his hands, and it is a relatively minor crime." ”

"Why didn't the Bureau of Justice punish him?"

"I learned from the side that Director Zhang of the Bureau of Justice is obsessed with collecting antiques, and Song Huairen collected calligraphy and paintings for the Japanese during the Japanese pseudo-period, which are said to be treasures, and the whereabouts of these calligraphy and paintings are currently unknown; There is also a saying that after the Japanese surrendered, Song Huairen took back these calligraphy and paintings at a low price from the Japanese merchants of Jiahe Trading Company for Rong Bao Zhai. ”

Zhu Zihua frowned: "Is there such a thing? Jiahe Trading Company is a spy organization under Hikaru Inouemura, and this batch of calligraphy and paintings should be regarded as enemy property. ”

"I think so too, sir, no one will be able to take over the enemy property of the Japanese spy organization, and no one will be able to take the turn of the Justice Bureau? According to the counterpart acceptance, this batch of enemy property should also be received by our Secrecy Bureau. ”

Zhu Zihua slapped the table with a "snap": "How can this be reasonable!" ”

"What does the chief mean ......"

"Arrest Song Huairen first, remember! Don't be too flamboyant when arresting people, it's best to be unaware, otherwise the Bureau of Justice will make trouble with us again. ”

Zheng Tianyong stood upright: "Yes! ”

Zheng Tianyong and his assistant Jia Fu quickly figured out Song Huairen's travel rules, on the morning of the third day, the car of the Secret Bureau stopped on the side of the road outside the entrance of Song Huairen's alley, Zheng Tianyong and Jia Fu sat in the car and watched the gate of Song Huairen's house, suddenly, Zheng Tianyong touched Jia Fu's arm: "Attention, that old boy is out, prepare!" ”

Song Huairen seemed to have just finished breakfast, he picked his teeth with a toothpick, stepped out of the threshold, descended the steps, slowly came out of the alley, and walked along the street. Zheng Tianyong and Jia Fu got out of the car, Song Huairen walked to the car without noticing, and Jia Fu suddenly pressed his pistol against his waist: "Don't move, I'll kill you if you move!" ”

Before Song Huairen could react, Zheng Tianyong strangled his neck and pushed the car in, Jia Fu also returned to the cab, and the car drove away like a gust of wind.
