After they had finished drinking and eating, the two parted at the door. Wang Wenwu didn't care whether that ship of arms was sent to the military camp or not, and he couldn't care less.

However, by mid-July, some people said that there was a war going on on both sides of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the Beijing-Hankou Railway. When the grain store owners in BJ City heard the news, they immediately reluctantly sold their grain.

The price of grain was still 6 yuan and 42 cents per stone in the morning, but it rose to 7 yuan and 40 cents per stone in the afternoon. Wang Wenwu was shocked when he saw the increase in grain prices.

Within a few days, there was a rout in the city, and the price of food exceeded ten yuan. Wang Wenwu also asked the clerk to close the door. The streets were now in a mess, but Wang Wenwu hid at home and did not go out. He hired a special employee

A few boys were running errands.

Wang Wenwu originally thought that a war involving tens of thousands of people would last for ten and a half months, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, he would see Boss Duan go down to the field to call the police.

The telegram said: "I received a telegram from the President on the same day: The diplomatic missions have been warning recently that with the large number of expatriates in the capital, life and property are extremely important. If the war is prolonged, the danger is unspeakable. The two sides should be ordered to cease the war immediately and promptly send orders to the front.

"Everyone should guard the boundary line, stop attacking, and wait for clear orders to solve the problem." Qirui immediately ordered the soldiers in front to stop attacking. Zha Qirui organized the national army this time to protect the capital, and to uphold the order and discipline. It was not a military move at the beginning.

I am a poor soldier. He has poor moral character and poor ability. He has not dealt with it properly, which has led to accusations from outsiders. I would like to thank you for your help. I feel guilty and my conscience is horrified. It was reported on the day of the investigation. If there are any errors, I will bear the responsibility for them.

.Now it is urgent to impeach oneself, especially to relieve one's mistakes. We have already petitioned the chief, the brigadier general to supervise the border defense affairs, manage the affairs of the general's office, and all the duties of the army general. He will be dismissed from his post and will be awarded the honorary title.

, the medals will all be revoked, and the Dingguo Army will be disbanded on that day as a token of gratitude to the people of the country and for mutual understanding."

To put it simply, give up the army, resign from all positions, and deprive all medals.

A few days later, Wang Wenwu heard from the errand boy that two armies had entered BJ City and were now hunting deserters outside.

Then when the streets were peaceful, the two armies, one belonged to Marshal Zhang, and the other belonged to Marshal Cao. I don’t know where Lao Qian and Mr. Xu went. They are now wanted nationwide. The Anfu Club and Congress have also been disbanded.

.

However, everyone has reopened for business, and although the price of food has not dropped to the original six yuan and forty-two cents per stone, it is still much better than the ten yuan per stone.

Nowadays, various wartime jokes are circulating on the streets, and Wang Wenwu heard a quite outrageous one: Hearing that the Wan Army's attack on the East Road was unfavorable, his subordinates hurriedly came to report to Marshal Duan and ask for his opinion.

At that time, Marshal Duan was busy playing cards in the car and did not care at all about the situation of the battle. After listening to the report from his subordinates, Marshal Duan was furious: "Don't argue, don't argue, my cards are going to be a draw." During the battle.

The coach is outrageous when he is playing cards, but when he plays cards he does not care about the situation of the game. Such a coach is really ridiculous.

Wang Wenwu arrived because of the war in the past few days, which delayed the receipt of the arms that he was supposed to receive until the end of the month.

Wang Wenwu received a total of 500 Mauser Gewehr98 rifles, 1,000 Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1895 rifles, 208 Madsen machine guns and a full set of accessories. Ten Luoguo Luzi and Snake Luzi.

, Parabellum ammunition with three thousand rounds.

Wang Wenwu inspected almost every gun and found that there was no rust. This batch of guns was considered to be well preserved.

Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, these guns are not bad!"

Wang Wenwu put down his gun and said, "Well, everything is fine." After that, Wang Wenwu handed the remaining money to Manager Xiao. "You are more familiar with HSBC checks than me."

Manager Xiao took the check, looked at it and said, "Can I still not believe you?"

Wang Wenwu glanced at Manager Xiao and said, "Okay, I'll have someone transport it away."

"Okay, but you'd better cover it when you're doing your luck, so everyone on the street doesn't know about it."

"Can I not know?"

"Then everyone around your house knows that you are in the arms business."

Wang Wenwu glanced at Manager Xiao in confusion, "You all know this!"

Manager Xiao also looked puzzled and said: "You don't know, your neighbors are spreading rumors that you are in the arms business."

"I really didn't pay attention, how did you know about it?"

"Isn't this because when I went to notify you of the arrival of the goods, you were not at home. You were watching the old man playing chess on the street and listening to the old man and old lady chatting!"

"Well, can I leave my things with you for a few days?"

"Okay, for a few days. Do you want it?"

"Find a place to put the arms. You can't always put them at home! You're worried about what happens if they explode, aren't you?"

"Too,"

"Thank you very much," Wang Wenwu said with cupped hands.

Wang Wenwu came out of Hadley & Co. and found Lu Fang Ya Zi, who had introduced him to buy a house last time. Wang Wenwu came to find Lu Fang Ya Zi, who was sitting at the door chatting with others.

Wang Wenwu stepped forward and said, "Lu Fang Ya Zi, Lu Fang Ya Zi, are here for business."

When Lu Fang Yazi saw that Wang Wenwu was coming, he said with a smile: "So it's you who are here, Master Wu. You have something good in mind for me again."

"Of course, when something good happens, I will think of you first."

"Thank you for thinking about me. Sir, please come in!"

"well."

Lu Fang Yazi invited Wang Wenwu into the house. After sitting down, Lu Fang Yazi's daughter-in-law served tea and retired.

Lu Fangyazi said: "Master Wu, what advice do you have when you come here this time?"

Wang Wenwu said: "It doesn't count as advice. I just want you to help me find a place to use as a warehouse."

"How much land do you want?"

"I don't have many things. I just have a yard that I can walk into. It's okay if I can rent it."

"In that case, there are quite a few like this. Let me show you."

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Fangyazi took Wang Wenwu to look at several houses, some renting only the front yard, and some renting several rooms. There are two houses for sale, but they can't be bought for a while.

Wang Wenwu said to Lu Fangyazi: "Don't you have a single-family house to rent in a yard?"

Lu Fangyazi said: "There are such independent courtyards, but they are far away from this!"

"As far as possible,"

"Okay, there is a courtyard for rent, but it's in the east of the city."

"Lead the way!"

Lu Fangyazi led the way, and the two of them came to the east of the city. After meeting the landlord, Wang Wenwu saw that the yard was very clean, and it seemed that the landlord cleaned it frequently.

Lu Fangyazi introduced to the landlord: "Second Master Wu, this is Master Wu, and he wants to rent your yard."

Mr. Wu was a very energetic man and said loudly: "This is my grandfather's yard. After he leaves, this yard will belong to me. If you want to rent this yard, it will cost you thirty-five silver dollars a month."

, bet one and pay three, what do you think?"

Wang Wenwu looked at the yard and said to Mr. Wu: "I want it, but I am building a warehouse. I don't want any of these furniture, but I will bring the lock myself. You can't leave the key, okay?"

Second Master Wu nodded in agreement. When Lu Fang Yazi saw this, he said: "Okay, okay, I'll write the paperwork and we'll meet in a teahouse on the street tomorrow to decide on a contract."
