When everyone looked back, they found that Dong Lao Tu had fallen to the ground, his breath was weak, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Ahhh

But there were too many people on the scene, and they were all excited, and with the few old men in front of them, it was difficult to carry Dong Laotu out.

Qin Di glanced at it and said, "He just fainted for a while, just wait a while." ”

Although the people did not believe it, they could only wait.

After a while, Dong Laotu's breathing increased significantly, but he refused to open his eyes, still crooked his mouth, twitching and twitching, pretending to be unconscious.

At this time, the audience on the periphery slowly dispersed. A staff member came over and carried Dong Laotu onto a stretcher.

Some people informed Dong Laotu's family, and some people followed the stretcher to the hospital.

Qin Zhaoji was stunned for a while, and did not go to the hospital to visit, but took Qin Di home.

He had already realized that Dong Lao Tu was pretending to be garlic, but he still nagged at Qin Di: "We are businessmen, and only by being kind can we make money." You have to seriously change your temperament of retribution! If you don't agree with each other, you can kill someone! Fortunately, you are lucky enough to win this bet! Otherwise, wouldn't you have to pay 50,000 oceans?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "I knew I would win, so I bet with him!"

Qin Zhaoji said: "Don't expect that the person surnamed Dong will send the silver over." Dong Laotu has two sons, the eldest son does business with him, and the younger son is Ji Yunqing's apprentice. Do you know who Ji Yunqing is? That's one of the big men of the Green Gang! Golden Rong's sworn brother!"

Qin Di thought to himself: "What kind of green gang boss does he care! In my eyes, like a bed bug, he can be pinched to death with one hand." ”

However, Qin Zhaoji warned him sternly: "As the saying goes, you have to be forgiving and forgiving! Since we have won, don't pursue it anymore! The other party has no face to trouble us." If this matter gets bigger, it won't do us any good! After all, the Qin family has a weak foundation and has not much to do with gangs. Unlike the Dong family, in order to control the dock, a group of thugs were raised. ”

Although Qin Di is not afraid of the hooligans of the Green Gang, he doesn't want his family to feel nervous, otherwise, like his grandfather, he is afraid of being beaten on the road, and he will not sleep at night. After all, Ji Yunqing is similar to Huang Jinrong, and he has thousands of apprentices under him, such as Bi Shucheng, the commander of the Fengjun brigade, and Li Shiqun, the future leader of Wang's puppet spies, all of whom are quite powerful people.

So he nodded: "Okay, for grandpa's sake, don't go to trouble him." ”

The old man glared at him: "I'm afraid that people will find you trouble!"

Qin Di sneered indifferently and thought, "I want to control the killing intent, so as not to make a river of blood." ”

After all, this is a secular society, and in the public concession, if two or three people die at a time, they will be published in the newspapers! If Dong Laotu's family is wiped out and the gangsters of the Green Gang are implicated, it will inevitably attract worldwide attention.

Although Qin Di is the reincarnation of an immortal, he can't kill people like hemp, otherwise he will be punished by heaven!

Of course, if the other party refuses to give up and bullies come to find trouble, then it's a different matter.

Fortunately, the Dong family is still acquainted, and in the following months, Dong Laotu has been staying at home, and his two sons have not moved. So, the bet of 50,000 yuan in the ocean was gone.

After such a toss, Qin Zhaoji couldn't help but look at Qin Di with admiration: "My grandson, it's not simple! Sharp eyes, meticulous thinking, excellent luck, even betting on horses can win, and he will be a good hand in business in the future, the only drawback is that he is too young and vigorous." ”

Since then, the old man has not cared about Qin Di anymore, and let him stay at home, lying on a lounger to bask in the sun, or bathe in the moonlight, and suck in wind and dew.

As the years passed, the population of the Qin family became more and more, and the old house gradually became uninhabitable.

After Qin Di's cousins got married, they moved outside one after another.

Even the eldest aunt, Hu Ying, moved out, nominally to take care of her grandson, but in fact she did not want to live in the old house. Because Zhu Wan has become a big person, people often come to visit her home, and her title is very peculiar, not "Ms. Zhu", nor "Doctor Zhu", but "Mr. Zhu", which makes Hu Ying feel uncomfortable!

"Hmph! A woman, who doesn't stay at home honestly, runs out and doesn't say anything, and is still called 'sir'! It's just too unusual! What position does she put Qin Hancheng in?"

Therefore, Hu Ying was very depressed, and simply encouraged Qin Hanliang to move out, out of sight, out of mind!

Gradually, the people who lived in the Qin family's old mansion, in addition to the old man and Qin Zhang's family, were Qin Hancheng and Qin Hanxu, all of which added up, and there were only about a dozen people.

In this way, Qin Di's life is cleaner.

In 1922, politically speaking, it belonged to the period of Beiyang warlord rule.

Since 1912, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the victory of the Xinhai Revolution and became the president of the Republic of China, at the end of 1915, he wanted to restore the imperial system, which was unanimously opposed by the people of the whole country, and three months later, he announced the abolition of the imperial system, and died soon after.

Subsequently, the Anhui warlord Duan Qirui came to power and ruled for four years.

From 1920 to 1924, the direct warlords Cao Kun and Wu Peifu controlled the situation.

The rule of these warlords was mainly confined to the north. The national movement arose in the southern provinces, and in May 1921, Sun Yat-sen became the "very great president", and in March 1922, he issued an order for the Northern Expedition. Soon after, the warlord Chen Jiongming launched a mutiny, which led to the failure of the second Dharma Protection Movement.

In general, at this time, whoever has an army is the boss, the rule of the Beiyang warlords is weak, the Qingbai Party in the south is not in the climate, and the whole country is relatively chaotic and relatively loose.

Under the control of the concession, the magic capital has been booming economically, and the political impact is relatively small.

The third uncle, Qin Hanxu, saw that he was forty years old, he didn't want to use a knife or a gun anymore, he didn't go to the south to make a revolution, and even gave up his position in the quartermaster department, and became a director of the China Merchants Steamship Bureau instead.

The Qin family invested two million oceans and got a part of the shares of China Merchants Steamship.

The two 10,000-ton steamers hired by the grain bank came from here.

In his spare time, Qin Hanxu also had dealings with the upper echelons of the Qingbai Party, thus sheltering the Qin family's business.

The bookstore of the third aunt Keiko has been open all the time, and the business is dull and does not make much money.

However, in addition to her life in the bookstore, she also had a new livelihood, sourcing tungsten sand from China and selling it to Japan.

Tungsten is a rare metal, a necessity for the refining of special steel, and has special military value.

Tungsten is very unevenly distributed all over the world, only a few countries have it, and China is a big tungsten producer. Many European and American countries, including Japan, have sharpened their heads and bought tungsten sand from China.
