After having lunch, Fei Jingting came out of the small bungalow in the Italian Concession. He wanted to practice in peace, but he was busy with chores. Apart from other things, the check on his body was a problem. As for the money, it was better to put it in his pocket.
.
He changed his appearance and went to the Bank of Communications first. The manager who received him was the same manager from last time. He took out a total of 200,000 yuan in silver yuan notes, then went to Standard Chartered Bank to exchange them for cash and pounds.
Because of the huge amount, Standard Chartered's foreign manager sent him straight out the door, constantly promoting Standard Chartered's deposits and financial management policies along the way.
Fei Jingting felt that he didn't have the brains. If he had money, it would be better to exchange it for precious metals such as gold bars to maintain value. He could forget about financial management and so on. He was afraid of being tricked by foreign devils.
Throwing oceans and pounds into his pocket, Fei Jingting is now considered a rich man. Not to mention, the small foreign-style building in the Italian Concession only costs around 100,000 oceans, so he can buy it easily now.
However, Fei Jingting knew that the prosperity and stability in Tianjin were just a flash in the pan. A few years later, there were wars between warlords, followed by the Japanese going south, and then the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Life in the concession was also difficult.
.
In addition to keeping this money for household purposes, it will also be good to buy more food, medicine, and provide relief to the people when the time comes. Forget about houses.
After coming out of the bank, Fei Jingting bought a few newspapers.
The newspapers were full of news, most of which were about the crusade against Governor Cao's younger brother Cao Rui. Some newspapers directly revealed the details of Cao Rui.
This Cao Rui originally just studied business in Haomipu, Yusheng, Daku. His brother Cao Kun gained power and was recommended to take charge of Zhili Province.
Cao Rui took office a year ago. After taking office, he began to impose excessive taxes. More than 100 counties in Zhili were divided into three categories: large, medium and small. Small counties had 8,000 yuan, medium counties had 9,000 yuan, and large counties had 10,000 yuan.
Places such as Jinmen, Luanxian, Qingyuan and other places are in special shortage. If you don't have 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, you can't get it. Don't think it's too expensive. This is only the price for one year. If you still want to be an official in the second year, then
You have to continue to get money. Cao Rui made millions just by selling his official position and winning titles.
Not only that, Cao Rui also runs a biscuit factory, a rice store, and a quilt factory. He purchases rice noodles and quilt raw materials from various places without paying freight or taxes, and sells them to Cao Dujun at a high price. This is another huge profit.
Later, Cao Rui's grandson ran away to Hong Kong Island and filled hundreds of boxes with rare jades alone, which shows how greedy this guy was.
Cao Rui threw out his cronies to take the blame, but people from all walks of life obviously didn't buy it. They went straight to expose Cao Rui's past and criticized him verbally and in writing, doing their best to denounce him.
Cao Rui may have felt that the wind was going in the wrong direction, and he was no longer as forceful as before. Instead of apologizing, he accepted interviews with newspapers and defended himself in every possible way, claiming that the suppression was not at his instruction, but at the hands of his subordinates.
People make their own decisions.
On the contrary, it was Yang Jinglin. In May, when the students were agitated, Yang Jinglin led the police to escort them all the way. Except for not allowing the students to attack the provincial government office, he did not care about anything else. In addition, he handled the case of Sanjie Yang, and Yang Jinglin's reputation increased during this period.
Even Liang Qichao and Mr. Liang rarely said good things. He said in the newspaper that "it is relatively safe for Yang Jinglin to be in charge of the Tianjin police force."
Fei Jingting met Cao Rui once and had no impression of him. However, this time Cao Rui had offended Fei Jingting, so he thought about revenge and went back. This Cao Rui scratched the ground, greedy for so much people's wealth, and spent so much money on it.
Jingting then had the idea of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The matter was not urgent, so I went back to Yang Jinglin to find out what was going on. I thought that since Yang Jinglin and Cao Rui never dealt with each other, he must know where Cao Rui had hidden his belongings.
Turning to the third page, the front page showed the news that the private Beichen University was scheduled to start on the 17th of this month.
Fei Jingting was a little confused. His university was about to start school, and he got the news from the newspaper.
After thinking about it, I hid in Dawangzhuang during this period, and the news was blocked. It was normal for Mr. Yan to not be able to find me for a while. Well, it’s okay if I don’t know. Now that I know, I quickly went to Mr. Yan’s house.
Bar.
Fei Jingting rode his bicycle and went to Mr. Yan's house.
The servant ushered him in, offered him tea and asked him to wait. Within a few minutes, Mr. Yan came down from upstairs.
Fei Jingting admired this educator very much and immediately stood up to say hello: "Mr. Yan."
"Hey, Jingting, you are finally back."
Mr. Yan was very happy, exchanged a few words, invited Fei Jingting to sit down, and the two started chatting while drinking tea.
Mr. Yan first asked about the wanted matter, and Fei Jingting said: "It's inexplicable. I just stay at home. The Japanese are probably upset and want to cause trouble for me."
Mr. Yan echoed: "These Japanese are becoming more and more lawless. I hate that Cao Rui not only refused to refuse, but actually helped them do evil."
Fei Jingting already had an idea of how to deal with Cao Rui and the Japanese. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, the matter is finally over. Mr. Yan, I read in the newspaper that the start date of school is set for the 17th?"
Mr. Yan nodded and said: "The Federation of Students held a meeting and felt that the strike was not a problem. Students should still attend classes well, so they lifted the decision to strike. Now that all major and middle schools in Tianjin have resumed classes, Mr. Zhang and I chose
The 17th is set as the opening day of Beichen University."
After a pause, Mr. Yan said with a smile: "I told Mr. Zhang before that school is about to start, and many students are coming in the name of Jing Ting. If Jing Ting is there when school starts,
If I'm not here, I'm afraid the students will cause a commotion. Fortunately, fine, Jingting is back in time."
Fei Jingting said: "Mr. Yan, is there anything else you need me to do?"
Mr. Yan shook his head: "Everything is ready, just start school. Oh, if Jing Ting has time, why not compile a college textbook. I showed your middle school textbook to people from the Ministry of Education, and they all agreed, but I can't say that it will be used in the future.
It will be promoted as a physics textbook for middle schools across the country."
Fei Jingting thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."
After drinking a pot of tea, Fei Jingting stood up and left.
It's already the 15th, and Beichen University will start school the day after tomorrow. Fei Jingting suddenly remembered that Yang Yu also graduated from Beichen University. Doesn't that mean that Yang Yu will have to call him Teacher Fei when he sees him in the future?
Not wanting to know, Fei Jingting was startled when he thought about it, and Fei Jingting suddenly felt that some inexplicable energy enveloped him...
…………………………
Cheeseline Restaurant.
The table was full of leftovers, and Zhang Leyao sat quietly, looking at Zhang Daoen across from him.
A foreign waiter took the bill and coughed lightly. Zhang Daoen sighed helplessly, picked at it and took out a few pieces of foreign currency and handed it over.
"No need to look for it." Zhang Daoen said with a frown.
The waiter counted, then frowned and said in broken Chinese: "Sir, in addition to normal consumption, this restaurant also has a 15% service fee. You are still two silver cents short."
"ha?"
Zhang Daoen couldn't believe that four yuan was not enough for such a table of unpalatable Western food. Also, what the hell is the service charge? I've never heard of it!
With a look of pain on his face, Zhang Daoen finally gave him two more silver coins, and then the waiter withdrew with a sullen face.
When Zhang Daoen saw the waiter walking away, he suddenly said with a face: "Sister, the food of these foreign devils is not only terrible, but also so expensive, what's so good about it?"
Zhang Leyao said: "What do you know? What we eat here is not food, but fun."
"Okay, I don't understand taste, but why should I pay?"
When the Tianshi Mansion was abolished in the early Republic of China, many properties of Zhang Tianshi's family were taken away. Although they were restored before President Yuan Da came to the throne, those properties already had their owners. How could they be returned so easily?
Therefore, life in Tianshi's family was tight, and Zhang Daoen's pocket money was not much. On this trip to the north, Zhang Daoen relied on the name of the little Tianshi and did a lot of rituals along the way, so he had some savings.
But he asked his sister to cheat him out of four yuan for one meal. After some calculations, Zhang Daoen was afraid that he would be tricked by his sister if he didn't have enough money.
Forget it, I need to ask for help, so I'll put up with this tone for the time being.
"Sister, you've eaten, it's time to get down to business, right?"
Zhang Leyao took a sip of coffee and nodded: "Okay, tell me, where is the man named Fei now?"
Zhang Dao'en said: "How do I know?"
"You don't even know, and you want me to find it?"
"I……"
Zhang Daoen was in trouble, and Fu Yunzhao threw the escape talisman back. Now he has no way to find Fu Yunzhao. In such a huge Jinmen, you can't just close your eyes and look for it, right?
Zhang Leyao smiled and said: "Don't use your brain when you are in trouble. Let me ask you, since Fu Yunzhao can like Fei, do you think that Fei has some skills?"
"That should be it." When Zhang Daoen heard "Fei", he could think of Fu Yunzhao's "Brother Jingting", and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Then let's go to Tianfei Palace to inquire first. If the person named Fei is not a practitioner, then we can make other plans."
Zhang Daoen wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why couldn't he think of such a simple method?
Glancing at his demure sister, Zhang Daoen thought to himself, no wonder his father said that if his sister had not been born as a girl, he would probably have lost the position of Heavenly Master. Zhang Leyao is really much smarter than him.
Zhang Daoen, whose IQ was crushed, drank all the coffee with his sister, got up and walked to the car, all the way to the Tianfei Palace.
As mentioned earlier, in Jinmen, Buddhism was prosperous and Taoism was in decline. Without much effort and a little money, the two siblings got the news about Fei Jingting from the Taoist priest.
Only then did I know that the surname of Fei was Fei Jingting, and he had many labels. He was a spiritual practitioner, the first person in Chinese martial arts, a novelist, had studied abroad, and was a university teacher.
He learned that Fei Jingting had come here to discuss mysteries with the layman Huang Mingrui before, and he also learned about Fei Jingting's feat of killing and injuring seven Japanese in the ring in two days, and also learned about the Eight Parts of Tianlong that fascinated Zhang Leyao.
, written by Fei Jingting.
After coming out of Tianfei Palace, Zhang Daoen discovered that something was wrong with his sister Zhang Leyao.
He immediately said: "Sister, you can't stop taking action just because he wrote The Eight Parts of the Dragon."
"Um?"
Zhang Daoen was anxious: "Liujia Divine Book, Shark Sword!"
"Well..." Zhang Leyao's eyes regained clarity and she said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will definitely help you get it back!" (To be continued)
