Wanrong yawned and saw no one around except her cousin Wanyan Tongji, so she took out a pack of cigarettes and matches from her sleeves.
Under Wanyan Tongji's surprised gaze, he lit the match and took a deep breath.
Wanrong is only in her early eighteen years now, but she has spent two years in the palace in the cold.
On the day of the wedding, Emperor Xun entered the bridal chamber, but he only walked around for a while before going to the Yangxin Hall. In the past two years, Emperor Xun had been to Wanrong's house so many times that he could count them on his hands, and every time he would sit there for a while and then leave.
, which made Wanrong extremely anxious.
The double psychological and physical depression caused Wanrong to quickly become addicted to cigarettes. Not only that, she also secretly smoked heavy cigarettes.
"Cousin, why do you smoke? Ahem..." Wanyan Tongji fanned the wind, and the pungent smell of smoke made the little girl feel uncomfortable.
Wanrong smiled and said, "What's the point? Those foreign women also smoke, which is quite a relief."
Hearing footsteps coming from outside, Wanrong took a few puffs, strangled the cigarette butt in the flower pot, waved her hands to disperse the smell of smoke, and whispered: "I'm leaving. If you want to see my cousin in the future, you have to
Went to Jinmen."
"Okay, Guoluo Mama will send me to Jinmen years ago, and then I will go find my cousin."
There was a knock on the door, but it was Guoluo Mama's maid asking Wanrong to come over for a discussion.
…………………………
Jinmen.
"Bump!" Zhang Zongchang grabbed the mahjong tiles and pointed his fingers back and forth on the cards in front of him for a long time: "Nine pieces."
Chu Yupu on the opposite side was delighted: "Hey, hey, Marshal, guess what? It's a peace!"
"You guys, it's been a blast this night!" Zhang Zongchang pushed the mahjong tiles down, cursed and gave the money, and said while rubbing the mahjong, "How's the deal going?"
Chu Yupu said: "It took several days for these old thugs in Jinmen to collect 30,000 yuan."
"Thirty thousand? How about sending it to beggars?"
Zhang Zongchang was angry.
Chu Yupu said: "Commander, it's not my fault. The rich people in Jinmen are all hiding in the concession, and those foreign devils won't let me in. Those from small families and small households have only a few ounces of money and water after squeezing them dry."
The brothers below are a little unstable, I think it’s better to pay them some money first.”
"Send it, it won't work if you don't pay it. How can we do it without paying the salary after winning the battle? Chu Yupu, please hurry up on the preparations. I think Marshal Zhang will send us south in a while."
"Going south?" Chu Yupu stopped and asked, "Any news?"
"It's either Qilu or Suhang. Anyway, they are both good places."
"Hehe, congratulations for your humble position. Don't worry, I'll use some tricks later, or those old thugs will have to pay the money in a few days."
As the New Year approached, Chu Yupu's troops attacked in all directions. The concession could not be entered, and the rest of the area was controlled by the army. Then officers went from house to house to check for the revolutionary party.
What? It’s not called the Revolutionary Party anymore? Then we should investigate the Democratic Party members!
In addition, Chu Yupu also took away a large amount of supplies from various grain stores and medicine stores in the name of military supplies, leaving only a white slip without a seal.
Through the so-called purge of the Kuomintang, a large number of wealthy businessmen were imprisoned by Chu Yupu. This guy was very upright, and he just said that he could get out with the money.
Chu Yupu's violent conquests in Jinmen aroused the anger of heaven and the people. Many people came to Yang Jinglin's way and asked him to help restrain Fengjun.
But Yang Jinglin is not stupid, so why would he show up at this time?
Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu realized at first glance that they were not reasonable people. Wouldn't they be uncomfortable if they went to try to reason with them?
To put it bluntly, even if Chu Yupu shot Yang Jinglin, Marshal Zhang would at most reprimand him. Yang Jinglin’s death would be in vain!
Yang Jinglin's inaction made Feng Jun become even more aggressive.
Two days later, Mr. Bian was driving home in a car. When he arrived at the door of his house, he was surprised to be robbed by a group of Feng soldiers who rushed out.
The Bian family is one of the eight largest families in Tianjin, especially Mr. Bian who has opened a patent medicine factory in partnership with Americans, making him a well-known big shot in Tianjin.
There was no reason, and they were arrested by Chu Yupu for no reason. How could the Bian family be willing to do so? The Bian family started to move up and down that day and walked all the possible roads.
Yang Jinglin couldn't resist, so he went to lie down and say a good word to Chu Yupu. As a result, Chu Yupu promised well, but turned around and changed his face. Unless it was said that Mr. Bian had collusion with the Democratic Party in the south, he could not be released.
Even Yang Jinglin couldn't speak, and the rest of the people's words were naturally of no use.
Bian Wenjie had just given birth to a baby. After hearing the news, he immediately returned to his parents' home with the baby in his arms.
Although Mrs. Bian had a resolute temper, she lost her sense of propriety at this moment. When she saw her daughter coming back, she immediately came over to her with tears in her eyes: "Wen Jie, please think of a way to save your father."
"Mom, don't worry, haven't you gone through some trouble?"
Mrs. Bian cried: "That Chu Yupu is just a bastard! Your uncle got through Zhang Zongchang's door, but Chu Yupu didn't even listen to Zhang Zongchang's words."
While Bian Wenjie was talking, Liu Fangyuan, the husband of Bian Wenjie, walked in quickly and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Let's think of a solution. If it doesn't work, just find someone to contact Marshal Zhang. I don't believe there is no place for reason in this world."
Bian Wenjie is now a mother, and she is no longer the ignorant little girl she was back then. Her husband, Liu Fangyuan, is a descendant of the Liu family in Tucheng, and he looks quite decent. He was a bit unruly before marriage, but was manipulated by Bian Wenjie after marriage.
of.
Hearing this, he turned around and glared: "Don't talk nonsense."
Liu Fangyuan was stunned and said nothing.
Bian Wenjie thought for a while and said, "Mom, have you contacted Teacher Fei?"
"Teacher Fei?" Bian's mother's first reaction was that Fei Jingting is a great writer. If this novel is a best-seller, let alone this novel. The book "Farming, Nomadism and the Ocean" was even regarded as a model by Mr. Bian. The second reaction was that Fei Jingting was a great writer.
But he is the number one person in Chinese martial arts today!
Although he has stopped taking action in the past few years, there are still rumors about Fei Jingting in the martial arts world. Mr. Sun Lutang was recruiting disciples in the capital, and only a few words were spread, in which he highly praised Fei Jingting.
Bian's mother reacted for a while and said: "You want Fei Jingting to speak? It's useless! Mr. Liang published a newspaper scolding Chu Yupu. Do you think Chu Yupu took it seriously?" After a pause, Bian's mother suddenly said: "Can Fei Jingting be invited to speak?
Jing Ting goes to rob the prison? No matter how good his martial arts is, can he still be worthy of a gun?"
Bian Wenjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Mom, where did you want to go? I heard someone said that as soon as Feng Jun entered the city, an officer drove to visit Teacher Fei. I heard that he brought a large cart of gifts."
"Is this happening?"
"It's true, I heard someone mention it." Bian Wenjie suppressed the sourness in his heart and said, "I think Teacher Fei must be related to the big shots in Fengjun. I think it's better to ask Teacher Fei for help."
"Okay, go now!"
Bian's mother didn't care to cry anymore, wiped her tears casually, stood up, put on her coat and left. The group of people waited in a car and hurried to Fei Jingting's house late at night.
Hu Qigu opened the door, led everyone into the living room, and went upstairs to call Fei Jingting. Fortunately, Fei Jingting was practicing Tianmu. When he came down, he was very puzzled and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Bian, and Bian."
Miss, why are you here?"
Bian Wenjie's expression was complicated. Even though she was a mother, she could never forget the feelings of that day. Bian's mother couldn't care so much and immediately begged: "Mr. Fei, you need to save our family..."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Mrs. Bian poured the beans into the bamboo tube and explained the cause and effect, which made Fei Jingting frown. Zhang Zongchang and Chu Yupu were not good people, but after hearing what Mrs. Bian said, these two people were blackmailing people in broad daylight.
, which really refreshed Fei Jingting’s cognitive lower limit.
After thinking for a while, Fei Jingting looked at Hu Qigu: "Go and say hello to Marshal Zhang and ask him to release him."
"good."
Watching Fei Jingting order the maid, although the maid is beautiful, she is not related to Shaoshuai Zhang, right?
Hu Qigu responded, got up and went back to her room. After a while, she came back and said: "Master, the matter is done."
Fei Jingting then smiled and said: "Okay, I think they will be released tomorrow morning, so don't worry."
Mrs. Bian couldn't believe it, and even Bian Wenjie couldn't believe it.
Bian Wenjie's husband couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Fei, who is your maid? Can she still be related to Marshal Zhang?"
Fei Jingting said: "It's not easy to explain. Anyway, you just go back and wait for the letter."
The group of people returned home doubtful.
But it was said that Shaoshuai Zhang was woken up by the adjutant in the middle of the night, and when he opened his mouth, it was Hu Qigu's tone. This was not the first time, but Shaoshuai Zhang still felt awkward. He respectfully accepted the order, Shaoshuai Zhang immediately put on his clothes and went downstairs to make a phone call.
There was a telephone line connecting Beijing and Tianjin, and soon Zhang Zongchang got the letter.
Zhang Zongchang did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent people to find Chu Yupu. When Zhang Zongchang's men found Chu Yupu, the guy was sleeping in the brothel with his two sisters in his arms.
"What are you knocking on in the middle of the night?"
"Brigade commander, the army commander is looking for you!"
Chu Yupu got up with a curse, got dressed and hurried to the military camp. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zongchang cursed: "Chu Yupu, did you take my words as farts when you stepped on the horse?"
"Ah? Commander, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? I asked you to let go of the man named Bian, did you step on the horse and let him go?"
Chu Yupu muttered: "The oil and water haven't been squeezed out yet, how can it be released so easily?"
"Let it go, let it go, let it go quickly. There is someone behind the surname Bian, and the young marshal has called. Let me tell you, Marshal Zhang is thinking about promoting you. Don't be stupid at this time."
Chu Yupu thought about it for a while and had no choice but to agree: "The one who rides the horse, Bian, has great supernatural powers. Okay, since the young marshal has spoken, I will let him go now."
After torturing himself in the middle of the night, he still couldn't squeeze out any profit or water. After coming out of the military camp, Chu Yupu became more and more angry as he thought about it.
The subordinates on the side fanned the flames and said, "Brigade commander, just let the man named Bian go?"
"Let it go, the young commander has already spoken, can you not let it go?" After Chu Yupu said with a gloomy face, a gust of wind blew over, and he immediately shrank his neck: "Let the person go now, and find some dog food.
Ban Dao will treat Mr. Bian well."
The subordinate chuckled and said: "The brigade commander still has an idea. Okay, I will make arrangements now."
The place where Mr. Bian was detained was not far away, in a police station in Nan City. Chu Yupu acted rampantly and directly occupied the police station and drove the patrol officers into the street.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Mr. Bian, who was dozing off in the squad room, was suddenly taken out. The person who came just told Mr. Bian to leave and pushed him out of the police station.
In the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, and his coat and coat were still buttoned up by the soldiers. Mr. Bian was wearing a thin suit, and he shrank from the cold. After knowing the direction, he walked towards his home.
As a result, we didn't go far, and as soon as we entered the public concession, we were greeted by several dog treats. All of these dog treats had their faces covered, and they came up and beat them without saying a word.
Mr. Bian was in his forties and had always been pampered. How could he beat these dog treats? He fell to the street in a few moments.
Those dog food strikes were measured and they beat Mr. Bian so badly that he immediately stopped and turned away.
It was the coldest time of the year in the ice and snow. Mr. Bian groaned for a long time before he got up and walked for a full hour before returning to his home.
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and Mrs. Bian kept worrying about it. She was already feeling light-headed, and vaguely heard the housekeeper calling her "Master". Mrs. Bian put on her clothes and hurried downstairs. At the top of the stairs, she happened to bump into Bian Wenjie, who was staying overnight. The mother and daughter
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Mr. Bian's head and face covered in blood.
Mrs. Bian burst into tears immediately: "What's wrong? Why were you beaten like this? God damn Chu Yupu..."
Mr. Bian waved his hand: "Stop yelling, I'm freezing to death. Get me some hot rice and vegetables."
Mrs. Bian quickly arranged for the servants to prepare the meal, then sat down next to Mr. Bian, took the wet hand towel handed by the maid and wiped it with Mr. Bian.
"How did it happen?"
Mr. Bian said: "Chu Yupu let me go that night. It was probably because of someone from above. This bastard was so angry that he found someone to beat me up on the way." After a pause, Mr. Bian asked: "These two
God, you guys are looking for some connections, right?"
"I searched and searched, and found everyone I could talk to."
Bian Wenjie said from the side: "Yang Jinglin didn't even say anything. I think Mr. Fei's relationship is still useful."
"Mr. Fei? Fei Jingting?"
Mrs. Bian cried and said: "Damn Chu Yupu, this matter is not over yet..."
"So what if it's not over? These days, if you have a gun, you will be a grass-headed king. No matter how much money our family has, can we still do it to Chu Yupu?" Mr. Bian was touched on the injured area and took a breath of air, then took the towel and went to work.
Wipe: "I didn't expect that Teacher Fei could be related to Feng Jun. Whose path did he follow?"
Bian Wenjie said: "It seems to be Shaoshuai Zhang."
Mr. Bian was thoughtful and then said: "I'll prepare a generous gift later. I'll go to the door in person to thank Teacher Fei."
This encounter gave Mr. Bian a new understanding of the current situation. He thought that hiding in the concession would be fine, but how could he have thought that Chu Yupu would break into the concession and kidnap people? The current situation is turbulent, and he wants to be safe and sound.
To maintain a stable business, you have to build relationships. Thanking Fei Jingting for helping is only one aspect. What is more important is whether Fei Jingting can use Fei Jingting to establish a relationship with Shaoshuai Zhang.
