Chapter 45: The Gift
Chapter 45: The Gift
Xie Cunguan drove the Land Rover and returned directly to the place where he lived, and what he urgently needed to solve at present was the communication problem with Yan Pei. Looking at today's situation, although the two of them are close at hand, they don't even have the opportunity to say a word.
Cui Shangba also said today that there is a strict prohibition for guards to talk to prisoners.
Moreover, there is audio and camera equipment in the room, and every action and every sentence will be recorded. From the current point of view, the method that Yan Pei uses today is the only way. Until we find a better way to communicate, we have to do it first.
When Xie Cunguan returned home, he found a thin piece of paper and wrote a note for Yan Pei.
The first question is to ask her if there is any way to save herself! Because no one is definitely as knowledgeable as Yan Pei about her own affairs, maybe she has already reserved a way to save herself, but she is in prison and cannot implement it;
The second question is to ask her if she has any favors to be used! Sitting in her position, she can kill people and save people, so there will definitely be some people who owe her favors.
Of course, these favors may not be enough for the other party to risk to rescue her, but they can get some limited help through these favors. Perhaps an infinite amount of limited help can weave an infinite network of relationships.
The third question is whether there are any interests that can be impressed, the forces that can rescue her, and what kind of interests are needed to impress the other party.
He didn't write much, because in that environment, any information that required a long period of focus could be suspected by the caretaker. After writing this note, Xie Cunguan attached a thin piece of paper, which was used by Yan Pei when he replied to the message for him.
He didn't know if it was convenient for Yan Pei to use paper inside, but looking at the note in the morning, it seemed to be a book.
If Yan Pei tore off the edge of the book too much, who knows if it will arouse suspicion. The hemp rope is broken from the thin part first, and everything is more careful, so as to have more insurance.
After Xie Cunguan finished this matter, he could only wait for Yan Pei's information tomorrow.
Before getting Yan Pei's information, any current move is redundant. On the contrary, it may startle the snake and attract the attention of the other party. He didn't even look for Zhang Miao'er's father, Zhang Keqin, because he knew that in this action against Yan Pei's family, huge interests must have been involved, so for the Zhang family, any decision has nothing to do with feelings.
Xie Cunguan folded the notes and put them between his fingers, he practiced dozens of times, and made sure that he could stuff the notes into Yan Pei's hands the moment he touched her, so he walked out of the door, bought some vegetables nearby, and got some food for himself to feed his stomach.
Then he went out, he hadn't returned to Beijing for a long time, and he was going to see the second master.
Who knows if this incident will use this gangster, the head snake in Beijing-Kowloon City.
In the shop in Houhai, he deliberately picked up a few old gadgets that the old people in old Beijing might like, and then turned to the house of the second master.
The second master's house was still in the courtyard, and when Xie Cunguan arrived at the door, he took the red rope hanging out of the door, and there was a jingling bell in the courtyard. This is the oldest doorbell, this with the red rope, connected to a big copper bell in the yard, after the guests, if you want to knock on the door, you will pat the deadbolt ring, and if you don't want to knock on the door, you will pull the bell.
It didn't take long to ring the brass bell before I heard footsteps from inside, and then a loud voice asked, "Who came to the door?"
When Xie Cunguan heard this, his voice was slightly familiar, and he remembered a person, and hurriedly said: "Senior Wang Monkey, it's me!"
The people inside listened to his words, and were stunned for a moment before saying, "Forgive Wang for being clumsy, didn't you hear that you were the one?"
"Xie Cunguan of the National People's Congress, do you still remember?" Xie Cun official said.
"Ahh......h Come and see the second master? It's just in time, the second master is gossiping in the hall......"
Wang Monkey said as he raised his hand to greet the guest.
Xie Cunguan knew that he was a Jianghu person, so he also hugged his fists at that time, and he was not polite, so he entered the courtyard.
After a few years, the old yard has hardly changed. This is the characteristic of the elderly, and the most intimate thing in their life is old things and memories.
Before entering the main hall, Wang Monkey shouted: "Second brother, who are you here?"
An old, hoarse voice came from the room: "Who's coming?"
"It's Xiao Xie ...... you've said many times," Wang Monkey said.
"Xiao Xie, that Xiao Xie?" the voice in the house approached the door, and it was obvious that the old man had gone out to greet the guests.
"The second master is old, and a few days ago, I saw that I was really talking about you......" Wang Monkey said. He has always been grateful to Xie Cunguan for persuading the second master of the insect to help the little insect brother take the position. In the hearts of people like him, orthodoxy is a very important thing.
"It's the ......child who saved your second brother back then, and accepted Liu Shisan as a housekeeper," Wang Monkey said.
"Ah, that's Cunguan, what are you talking about Xiao Xie, I know that I am old, my brain is not good, and I speak with many twists and turns......" At the opening of the door curtain, an old man with white hair appeared in front of Xie Cunguan.
"Ah, Second Master, who are you?" Xie Cunguan looked at the white hair of the second master of the worm and couldn't help but be surprised. Although the second master was already old, his hair was still slightly gray.
"Silly boy, you young people are celebrating the New Year, and we old people are living every day, and this hair has been white for more than two years......" The second master of the insect was an old man, and he could see at a glance what Xie Cunguan was shocked about, and explained.
Xie Cunguan stood there, arched his hand deeply at the second master of the insect and said, "Cunguan has seen the second master!"
Since the second master of the worm has omitted his surname and is affectionate to him, there is no reason for him to bring his surname and reveal his birth.
"Come in and sit down!Wang Monkey, go to the cabinet in the wing room and take out my old Pu'er......" The second insect master said to Wang Monkey while letting Xie Cunguan into the room.
Over there, Wang Monkey smiled and said: "Yo, the second brother is finally willing to take something out today, I have been hungry for a long time with a knife...... " While laughing, he went to the West Wing House briskly.
As soon as Xie Cunguan entered the hall, he saw Hu Yidao standing next to a chair in the room.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and Hu Yidao is also old, Xie Cunguan hurriedly took a step forward and said, "I've seen Senior Hu!"
Hu Yidao waved his hand and said: "In front of the second brother, you don't call us seniors...... Sit down!"
A few people sat down, and Xie Cunguan handed the things in his hand to the second master of the insect and said: "I originally got a few good things for the second master, but this time I came to Beijing, it was difficult to come, and in a hurry, I didn't have time to bring them, these few things were temporarily bought at the corner of the street, and please don't be weird!"
In the past few years, he did collect a few gifts for these old people, but they were all stored in the manor in Indonesia. This time, I returned home from Japan in a hurry, so I didn't bring it.
However, these few temporary things are all expensive and good.
The second master took the hookah, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing and said: "Isn't this the treasure of that Deruixuan in Houhai?" I have been to see it a few times, but it is too expensive to buy, you kid, what are you spending so much money for?" The smile lines on his face were obvious, obviously he was happy that this thing was ruthless.
Xie Cunguan knew that these old gangsters were really like the head of a family, and all their income, they were all in charge of themselves, and they would not spend it indiscriminately. Unlike those bosses on the road now, after accumulating wealth, they just enjoy themselves.
"This is for Senior Hu!" Xie Cunguan took out another knife, this is a serious old Tibetan knife, according to the shopkeeper blowing it was a tribute from the Tibetan prince to Emperor Daoguang, although I don't know how many credible words are, but Xie Cunguan is also used to using knives, and can tell that this is indeed a good knife.
Hu Yidao saw it, and the old man's face was flushed red for a while, obviously this gift was also very suitable for him.
At this time, Wang Monkey came in with tea, and when he saw this scene, he said, "What, while my brother is not there, how about sharing gifts?"
Xie Cunguan hurriedly turned around and said, "Then dare to miss you!" said that, but he took out an oilcloth bag from his arms.
"What is this?" Wang Monkey took the package, opened it with a smile as he spoke, and as soon as he opened it, his eyes widened, and inside was a hand-copied jute paper booklet with four big characters on it: Tongbei Boxing Book. There is also a line of words next to it: Xianfeng four years of Bazhou Wang Huaiyuan Jinglu.
