Chapter 223: The Qin Mansion is haunted
After a long while, Qin Hanliang sat down again and said, "Ah Di, tell me, what disaster do I have?"
Qin Di said: "Uncle, we are not outsiders, so I'll be straightforward." In the second half of this year, there will be a big battle near the magic capital, and if you stay here, you will inevitably be implicated. ”
"How could you implicate me?"
"There was a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. When the time comes, there will be corpses all over the demon capital, and no one will be safe. ”
"So, the rumors outside are true? Not only are you moving the mill west, but you're also going to send your whole family away?"
"That's right, my father, mother, sister, sister, will all leave the magic capital. The third uncle is in Japan, and he has a way to protect himself. You are my uncle, and I can't see you die here. ”
Qin Hanliang's face changed back and forth, and said, "I can't go alone, I still have three sons and three daughters!"
Qin Di said lightly: "I don't care about young people, I only care about you, uncle." ”
Qin Hanliang glared at him: "But I have to care! At my age, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person!"
Qin Di said: "Young people are less dangerous. Uncle, the reason why you are implicated is because the Qin family is too conspicuous and has become the richest man in the Republic of China, and if the Japanese catch you, they may use you as a threat to force my father to comply! Think about it, if the Japanese pick up a knife and cut off your head and ask my father to send grain, will my father dare to refuse? If he sends grain according to the instructions of the Japanese, then he will be a traitor! If you don't do so, you will fall to the ground!"
Hearing this, Qin Hanliang shuddered suddenly, as if he had been slashed in the neck!
In fact, according to Qin Di's original estimate, even if Qin Hanliang stayed, there might not be an accident, but since he heard that the Japanese were going to blow up the Little Red Mansion, he had to take precautions, otherwise Qin Hanliang was killed by the Japanese, wouldn't it embarrass him as an immortal?
As for the others, the eldest brother Qin Mu has already taken his eldest son Qin Yuansi to the west to supervise the yarn factory; the second cousin Qin Jian runs a flour mill and has a somewhat greedy personality and is reluctant to leave the magic capital; the third cousin Qin Bo is a director of Siming Bank and the danger is relatively low; the three cousins have already married, and Qin Di is not familiar with them, and life and death are in their own destiny.
Qin Hanliang chattered for a long time, and in the end he was not sure whether he would leave.
Qin Di couldn't force the uncle to relocate, anyway, he had already fulfilled his obligation to remind.
Subsequently, Qin Di told the uncle not to forget to write a letter to remind the people in Ningbo's hometown.
Qin Hanliang agreed, as for whether he wrote a letter or not, and what kind of wording was used, I don't know.
Seeing Qin Di leaving, Hu Ying and Qin Hanliang quarreled.
She looked unhappy: "This bastard is talking nonsense, do you really believe it?"
Qin Hanliang said with a cold face: "My nephew has two brushes! Without him, Han Cheng's business can be so big?"
Hu Yingdao: "Qin Han made a fortune, isn't it because of his mother-in-law who is famous for researching drugs?"
"You don't understand, you old girl, you have nothing to say!"
"Qin Hanliang, if you want to go, I won't leave anyway! Even if I die, I will die in the demon capital!"
The more Hu Ying thought about it, the more angry she became, so she kept complaining to her son and daughter.
A reporter wrote an article and published it in the newspaper: "The richest man in the Republic of China, cowardly before the war, moved his family westward, what is his intention?" The article said that the Qin family moved their main industries westward, and gold, silver and jewelry were transported away by boat, and now the old mansion of the Qin Mansion is sparsely populated, and there is only an empty shell left!
Many people read the newspapers, and the rumors spread even more!
"Hey, have you heard? The Qin family's valuable things have been moved!"
"I used to think it was a rumor, but who knew that the newspapers were all published!
"What are we going to do? Do you want to move along?"
"Hmph, you are a civilian, what are you moving? If you toss around, you will starve your family to death!"
"I didn't sleep last night, but I heard movement in the courtyard next door, as if someone was digging a pit and burying gold and silver treasures!"
The rumors spread outward from the magic capital, Qin Di read the newspaper, and did not come out to refute the rumors, but felt that it was a good thing.
Soon, throughout the Jiangnan region, from Zhejiang to Jiangsu, from Suzhou to Wuxi to Jinling, many wealthy people were panicking, either moving their possessions westward, or digging pits on the spot to bury their treasures, while trying to store grain in cellars.
For a while, there was a lot of rumors, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the house prices in the magic capital fell by two percent!
This made some people very angry, and they couldn't help but scold in the newspapers, saying that the national disaster was at the head, and some big families did not want to resist, and even spread rumors and demagoguery, and their crimes should be punished!
Some people also accused Zhu Wan, saying that she was a national elite who did not take the lead and became a scum.
However, this statement was quickly refuted by the strategist Jiang Baili: "The whole country resists the war, the walls are cleared, the battle is fought, the retreat is retreated, the army is forward, and the women and children are backward, what is the crime?"
However, Jiang Baili is not a high-ranking official, and his voice is not very large.
Everyone said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and there was a lot of trouble.
But no matter what, the war is about to break out, the country is in danger, and this matter has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Many military generals continue to ask Mr. Qing for war!
On the one hand, Mr. Qing comforted the people, and on the other hand, quietly prepared for war.
Under these circumstances, the Japanese were not idle, and while they were actively formulating plans, they sent secret agents to explore the movements of people from all sides in Jiangnan.
There are often strange figures of strangers around the Qin Mansion.
At the same time, the sound of the qin and singing often came from the Qin Mansion.
When those who came to spy heard the sound of the piano, they became distracted, and inexplicably walked east, all the way to the Huangpu River, and then plunged into it and drowned!
This kind of thing happened several times in a row, and in the end, the Japanese thought that the Qin Mansion was haunted and did not dare to send people to investigate.
The reporters guarding outside the Qin Mansion and some bags inquired about it, and those people did not jump into the Huangpu River, but went home inexplicably, lay on the bed and fell asleep, and then forgot all about going to the Qin Mansion to squat.
Reporter Yang Hanming, one of them, got up in the morning to go to work at the newspaper.
The editor asked him: "Is there any news in Qinfu?" No matter how big or small the news, write it quickly!"
Yang Hanming was stunned: "What Qin Mansion, what does it have to do with me?"
The editor was furious: "I just told you the day before yesterday to let you go to the gate of the Qin Mansion to guard, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye? You were expelled, no need to defend yourself!"
Yang Hanming grabbed his head and couldn't figure it out.
The next day, the reporter changed and went to keep an eye on the Qin family, but the result was the same!
There are too many such things, and the editor also feels hairy in his heart, and he doesn't dare to send reporters over.
