Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy was a major event in the Republic of China. It went against the will of the people and provoked rebellion across the country. The second war against Yuan launched by Mr. Sun and Cai E was known as the National Defense Movement in history. It received nationwide response. Even Beiyang, who was trained by Yuan Shikai himself,
Warlords Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other generals, either because they understood the righteousness or were forced by the situation, quietly stood against him.
What does it mean to regret one's mistakes? What does it mean to have run out of energy? Yuan Shikai, who had become a loner, knew best that he died in Peiping before the war on the front line officially started.
General Cai E was also praised for re-creating the Republic of China for this battle. The world compared him with Guo Ziyi, the famous Tang general who quelled the Anshi Rebellion, regained Chang'an, and Luoyang, and achieved a lifetime of fame.
Although Yuan Shikai was ruined, the silver coins with his image on them are still popular in the circulation market. When you blow on the silver coins, you can hear a buzzing sound.
Yuan Datou used the standard ratio of nine silver to one copper, which was later changed to 89% silver and 11% copper. After this ratio was set, it never changed.
At that time, the Republic of China government also issued a batch of other silver coins, but they were rejected by merchants and the public because of insufficient silver content, and later had to withdraw from the circulation market. In the market economy, bad coins have no room to survive based on quality and price.
"One yuan and twenty cents per pound, has the price increased? Is it so expensive?" Yuan Mingzhu couldn't help but be speechless.
Although they ordered a large table of dishes and a jar of good wine, it was only a little over five yuan, but these ten pounds of crabs were only twelve yuan, which was equivalent to two banquets.
"Ms. Yuan, the crabs in our store are guaranteed to be genuine products from Yangcheng Lake, not caught from small ditches, rivers or even rice fields near Yangcheng Lake. You get what you pay for."
"Okay, this will make you talk. After a while, if it doesn't smell like Yangcheng Lake, I will cut off your dog's head and hang it at the door as a sign." Yuan Mingzhu waved his fist.
Several people laughed. Of course the guy knew that Yuan Mingzhu was joking. Such a beautiful girl is indescribably cute even if she scares people.
Not long after, a large pot of crabs was served, along with a ginger-vinegar dipping saucer, a complete set of tools for eating crabs, a small hammer, a small hook, a silver scoop, etc.
"Come, I'm treating you two today. I'll take care of you two." Zhang Ziyang filled the three of them with 20-year-old wine.
"Since we're eating crabs, we'd better have a bottle of white wine." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Then would you like a bottle of Fenjiu or Maotai?" Zhang Ziyang became excited.
"I want bamboo leaf green." Yuan Mingzhu rushed to say, she likes the medicinal fragrance of bamboo leaf green.
"Okay, listen to sister Mingzhu and drink Zhuyeqing."
Zhang Ziyang called the waiter and asked him to bring wine. The rest of the dishes were not served for the time being, so as not to get cold. They focused on crabs first.
All three of them poured white wine, then held crabs in both hands, drank and munched.
Both Zhang Ziyang and Lu Ming looked more bold when eating, but Mingzhu took the set of tools and gently smashed and knocked them, and then took out the crab meat and crab roe little by little and ate them, and finally restored the crab shells on the plate.
A complete crab. If you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s an uneaten crab.
Zhang Ziyang and Lu Ming admired her technique from the bottom of their hearts, but they couldn't learn it and didn't have the patience. Before long, they had a pile of smashed crab shells in front of them.
It is said that there are clues in the case and the idea of solving the case has been basically established. The two of them should work hard to track down the suspect. Why do they have the intention to eat and drink here?
This was Zhang Ziyang's idea. He said that after Sheng Muyi disappeared, all four of her bodyguards resigned and left Shanghai to return to their hometown. Tracking her now would be a waste of time.
He has already mastered the original addresses of these four people, but it is not certain whether they have really returned to their original places. People who have been living abroad for a long time pretend to be their hometown in their hearts, but are not used to the life in their hometown. It is actually very difficult for them to go back.
Difficult to do. They may continue to work as bodyguards, or join gangs, and the possibility of returning to their hometowns to farm is slim.
Zhang Ziyang advised Lu Ming not to rush, he would use his intelligence network to search Shanghai first and find the whereabouts of these four bodyguards, especially the two bodyguards who were guarding outside Sheng Muyi's room at that time, before taking action.
Now the only target they can set is these two bodyguards. They must be found to dig out their accomplices and the criminal mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, there is another thing to do, which is to check all the confessions to see if we can find the hotel employee who suddenly appeared at the scene. This person is the culprit who kidnapped and even killed Sheng Muyi.
These things can't be done in a hurry. In Zhang Ziyang's words, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Lu Ming had not only Sheng Muyi's case in his mind, but also the case of maid Dongmei.
He always felt that Dongmei's murder was a signal and was closely related to Sheng Muyi's case. Why did the criminals rob and kill in the busy city? A typical example of impatient and unscrupulous tactics.
Lu Ming was very worried about this case, so he asked Zhang Ziyang to go back and find the original files to find out what happened at that time.
The three of them kept silent and munched. They finished ten kilograms of hairy crabs in an hour. Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang had their hands and faces covered with dipping sauce.
"It's so enjoyable, but it's a pity that you can't eat this stuff every day." Yuan Mingzhu said, still unfinished.
Crabs are the most delicious only in spring and autumn, especially in autumn. The crabs are more plump and the taste is unparalleled. Perhaps only the highly poisonous dolphin fish can beat them. But before eating that food, you must write a suicide note and take a decisive risk.
The mentality to taste the delicacies of the world.
"That's good. We can still eat authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs every year. I heard that the ones shipped to the north are all fakes. They are not produced in Yangcheng Lake at all, but the price is much more expensive than here." Zhang Ziyang picked up a crab claw.
Picking teeth.
Lu Ming asked the waiter to bring water. The three of them washed their hands with soap, and then asked the waiter to start serving dishes.
"Wait a minute, man, bring me the bill he hangs with you." Lu Ming said to the man.
The waiter didn't move and looked at Zhang Ziyang.
"Don't give it to him, I'll pay the bill myself later." Zhang Ziyang shouted hurriedly.
"Okay, why are you arguing with me about this? Go ahead, man, just bring the bill."
When the waiter saw that Zhang Ziyang didn't stop him, he left happily. It was natural to be happy to receive the debt. Although Zhang Ziyang's name was not afraid of him defaulting on the debt, if the debt accumulated too much, the restaurant's operating funds would be exhausted.
question.
"I said it was unfair, but you are slapping me in the face." Zhang Ziyang blushed.
It's okay to treat friends to a meal, and it's normal to spend whatever you want on the meal, but asking friends to pay off old debts is really shameless.
"Come on, you two should share what's yours and what's mine. Besides, he just made a fortune. You have to kill him once. There will be no such shop after this village." Yuan Mingzhu said with a smile.
"Sister Mingzhu is right." Zhang Ziyang laughed, because he had already received a thousand-yuan bank note from Lu Ming, and was really embarrassed to ask him to pay back the debt for him.
"Kill him if you can, and be ruthless. I really want to kill him, but unfortunately I can't think of a place to spend the money." Yuan Mingzhu said with some regret.
Zhang Ziyang secretly laughed in his heart, you just killed a Pontiac, don't you think you are good enough?
Lu Ming just laughed. After a while, the bill came and Zhang Ziyang posted a total of one hundred and thirty yuan in the restaurant. The banquet and crabs were seventeen and a half yuan.
Lu Ming took out a three-hundred-yuan banknote and handed it to the waiter, telling him that the rest of the money would be kept in the account and would be calculated slowly when they come to eat next time.
"Master Lu, has he made a fortune?" The waiter looked at the thick stack of banknotes in Lu Ming's wallet, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Ming smiled and stuffed his wallet back. He had indeed made a fortune. Most people would never be able to earn this kind of money in their lifetime.
At that time, the monthly salary of a skilled worker in Shanghai was only about ten yuan, or about one hundred and twenty yuan a year, which was enough for a family to live a life of food and clothing.
Lu Ming lived a relatively comfortable life in Shanghai, and his annual needs were only one thousand yuan.
Now he has acquired 20,000 yuan in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to the income of a skilled worker for nearly two hundred years.
"Have you not bought a gift for Cai Lian recently?" Lu Ming asked after drinking a glass of old wine.
"How did you know? You were checking me secretly?" Zhang Ziyang was shocked.
"Where do I have the spare time? Your pocket watch is missing. It must have been sent to a pawn shop. You even pawned your pocket watch. How can I have the money to buy a gift for Cai Lian?" Lu Ming pointed to Zhang Ziyang's chest and said.
Yuan Mingzhu took a look and found that the pocket watch chain that Zhang Ziyang always hung on his chest was gone.
"How about you use your detective brain elsewhere, don't use it on me." Zhang Ziyang was a little anxious. If it wasn't in front of Yuan Mingzhu, he wouldn't be like this, but he was slapped in the face in front of Yuan Mingzhu,
He couldn't stand it anymore.
After Zhang Ziyang was promoted to detective, his annual salary was 300 yuan, which was said to be quite a lot. He was a single man and had his own house, so 300 yuan should make him live comfortably and spaciously.
But he likes to show off and gamble, especially since he has a sweetheart who lives in an apartment for three years, so the three hundred yuan is stretched. When he can't make ends meet, gold watches and gold rings become his emergency measures, let alone
I also have credit accounts at several restaurants.
However, in addition to receiving the salary of a detective, he also often does things for the gang, and the gang will also pay him, which is several times more than what he earned as a detective. Otherwise, his salary would not be able to sustain his life at all.
"I'm just reminding you that people picking lotus flowers are devoted to you. They won't eat you, drink your stuff, or wear your stuff. Don't just think about yourself. You have to buy some gifts for others every two days. You have to be conscientious.
." Lu Ming laughed.
"Well, that makes sense, but why don't you buy me some gifts every three days, and I won't spend anything on you?" Yuan Mingzhu said immediately.
"Yes, what Sister Mingzhu said makes so much sense. You should really buy more gifts for Sister Mingzhu." Zhang Ziyang applauded.
Zhang Ziyang said this, but his heart felt warm. He understood that Lu Ming had good intentions and was sincerely thinking about him, and was afraid that he would colden Cai Lian's heart. He thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Although Cai Lian never made requests to him,
It doesn't mean that she doesn't have thoughts and wishes.
A woman's heart is as deep as the sea. When she treats you well, all the good in the world belongs to you. But once she changes her heart, you can't get her sincerity back even if you pile all the wealth in the world in front of her.
So when a woman says to you: It's too late, it means everything is lost, and trying to make up for it at that time is called a fool's errand.
