Chapter 54: Old Grievances
Silk Village.
The moonlit night reflects this quaint old house.
"Master, the informant came to report that the black cat was caught just now. ”
"Just now in the Lu Mansion, I signaled to him that if he didn't let him come out, he still couldn't hold his breath!"
Boss Ming sat at the table, looking at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, very angry, while speaking, while writing the so-called list of nobles and merchants who participated in the temple fair, he was so annoyed that he simply threw it on the ground. Then he picked up a leather whip and began to spur it in the courtyard, and the courtyard was dusty.
None of his valets dared to stop him. Instead, they looked at each other and whispered, "Master, what's wrong with this today? ”
The steward of the silk village knew that Ming Laosan was worried and anxious, so he immediately ordered them not to make a sound.
And the Lu Mansion at this moment.
Young Master Jiang Cheng had just heard Boss Lu's mother say that the person who had been hit by the dart was a Japanese agent, and he was surprised for a moment: "Aunt already knew that this person was hiding here, why didn't she expose him just now?
Lan Sheng saw that this person was not worried about his life, but was shot and was not the vital point, presumably Jiang Cheng wanted to keep him alive and wanted to ask something.
Unexpectedly, Boss Lu's mother still insisted: "No one should come near him, this person has a bomb on his body." Don't die together. ”
More than two years ago, Boss Ming used this trick to install an undercover agent in their Lu Mansion, and was caught by his aunt on the spot once, but Boss Ming didn't know that this time the old trick was repeated.
This person's name is Black Cat. On the day he was caught by Boss Lu's mother on the spot, his aunt gave him an invisible poison and did not kill him, but from then on, he worked for Lu Mansion and half for Boss Ming, and Boss Ming still doesn't know.
Dealing with cunning people has its own cunning, and she can only deal with Boss Ming.
And leaving the black cat alive, in fact, I also hope that he can repent and reform. Because he once confessed that his mother was from the Republic of China and his father was Japanese, Boss Lu's mother wanted him to survive.
Boss Lu's mother instructed her subordinates to bring a long pole, like a pole that could reach the drying of vegetables on a high place, and while hitting the man's arm, she shouted: "Hurry up, don't play dead here! What is that signal to you, who can you play for now? Look at the way you look now! Isn't your life more important?"
The man in black immediately staggered to his feet, wanting to pull out a telescopic long knife on his waist, Jiang Cheng's hand was quick, and another dart swished, he dodged, his hand was unstable, the handle of the knife he was holding quickly slipped down, and the dart pierced into his body at the same time.
The black cat was so angry that he scolded a few words in Japanese, and then said in Chinese: "Don't bully people, Boss Ming's people will be here soon." ”
The black cat was going to reach out and ignite the powder line around his waist. Unexpectedly, the tip of Jiang Cheng's dart had already snapped the gunpowder line just now. Now there was a dull pain in his lower back, too, as the darts pierced into his clothes. This double-sided chain dart method, he secretly admired.
Young Master Jiang Cheng: "This gentleman, since your aunt knows you, why don't you work for the Lu Mansion?" Boss Ming abandoned you here alone, do you still want to do things for him?!"
Boss Lu's mother saw that the black cat was shaking, knowing that the toxicity in his body might be about to attack, and his anger would stimulate this toxicity, so she hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the antidote for him, and she said angrily: "Black cat, why are you suffering?!" If you listen to me and listen to my persuasion, I will give you all the antidotes. ”
The black cat smiled evilly: "No need! I came here with death in my arms, thank you for your kindness, and for raising me for so many days." ”
He laughed out loud, and then Boss Lu's mother waved helplessly, and the two servants escorted the black cat down.
Young Master Jiang Cheng: "What did that signal mean just now? According to what the black cat said just now, I speculate that this signal should have been put by Boss Ming, so will the Japanese army come to surround Lu Mansion soon? But you are good to Boss Ming today, why does he want to take revenge like this? Forgive the younger generation for ignorance, I can't guess why until now?"
Boss Lu's mother sneered unhurriedly: "This Ming Laosan has not stopped in the past few years, and he has sent the positioning of our side to the Japanese again, but how can they have time to come? They still have to train their soldiers! The recent deployment of the riverside is enough for them to be busy for a while, and their target is not our Lu Mansion, but this temple fair." After finishing speaking, she gently picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, but looked at the patriarch in a little panic.
The patriarch frowned and said, "Today's tea, this cake, it's all good! But I really can't eat it! With such a big juncture, you can still eat something, and I'll take it! Let's go back and make some preparations earlier." Then they took their leave, and the other three guests followed suit, and they left with a heavy heart, and they all began to worry about the temple fair the day after tomorrow, because the Japanese soldiers did not know how many things they had to snatch away.
If you talk about the odds of winning, only the lion dance ring on the day can you win some face.
The two commanders of the Japanese camp in the vicinity liked the ring, and once threatened that if the samurai who defeated them came out on top in the lion dance ring, their merchants would have a say.
But so far, several temple fairs in spring, summer, and autumn have not had any effect, and their samurai are really powerful.
......
Boss Ming waved the whip in the courtyard until he had no strength, and then vented his anger enough, threw the whip aside and shouted: "Didn't the people in their military camp surround the Lu Mansion? In the past two years, the spies I sent to the Lu family, each time the number of spies has gradually decreased, and the master has let Boss Lu's forces absorb. ”
The steward of the silk village came over tremblingly and said: "Master, you are tired, let's take a rest, you know that those princes are also busy, and now they are busy arranging defenses, how can they go to the Lu family to ask for the guilt for a few people! The old lady of the Lu family invited you to drink tea and eat cakes today, and she did not treat us badly. Those old grievances are inevitably inappropriate to end today!"
Boss Ming said angrily: "In the Lu Mansion, I can't get out of the country every time! My thugs can't follow me back in time every time, don't you think it's suspicious? Just talk about this black cat, you see that at this hour, he hasn't come back." ”
As soon as the words fell, the black cat dragged its tired body and pushed the door in, but the door was unlocked.
"Just now my gunpowder was not strong, and someone found out that I had injured myself, so I came back. Then without saying a word, he covered the wound on his waist and walked back to his room with his back to Boss Ming.
Boss Ming looked at his silent back, and slowly clenched his fists angrily......
