Chapter 140: When I first arrived in Yucheng and returned to Kunming, it was very smooth. I didn't encounter any trouble. I arrived at the hotel where I stayed at 11 o'clock in the evening.
Wen Xu took a bath and was about to go to bed when Helian Youmeng barged in. Seeing that Wen Xu only had a pair of underwear on his body, he couldn't help but glared at Wen Xu fiercely, and left quickly after saying a few words.
He walked out: "I'll give you two minutes to get dressed."
When Helian Youmeng came in for the second time, Wen Xu had already put on his clothes and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Helian Youmeng then walked over and sat down, and then said to Wen Xu: "Grandpa, what are you doing for the first time?"
Once I am satisfied with the operation, the other party has already paid me the commission used.”
"How much is the commission?" Wen Xu asked impatiently.
Helianyou dreamed that Wen Xu's eyes were filled with money, and couldn't help but give Wen Xu a big roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Since your target this time is just a drug dealer leader, the commission is not too high, only one hundred before and after."
Two hundred thousand. After excluding the portion handed over and my share, you can get six hundred and fifty thousand."
Helian Youmeng said, throwing a bank card to Wen Xu, and then said: "Since I haven't opened an account in a Swiss bank for you yet, just take this card and use it. Anyway, 650,000
It’s not a lot, so it shouldn’t arouse the suspicion of the police.” That last sentence sounded like Helian Youmeng said to himself.
Although 650,000 yuan was already a huge amount of money, Wen Xu still felt uncomfortable when he thought that he had narrowly escaped death to get such a small amount. He couldn't help but ask: "What's your share?"
"Twenty percent, do you think it's too much?" Helian Youmeng stared at Wen Xu coldly and asked.
"Twenty percent, which is 240,000, then the remaining 310,000 have been handed over?" Wen Xu asked.
Helian Youmeng was stunned. He didn't expect Wen Xu was thinking about this, so he couldn't help but explain to him: "Well! The main reason why you turned in so many this time is because you are a newcomer. Because you are a newcomer, you cannot provide yourself with information.
So intelligence must be purchased.”
"What about you? Do you need to purchase intelligence to implement the problem?" Wen Xu then asked.
"As far as my current situation is concerned, I usually investigate small businesses like this myself. Only when I encounter a big business, I will spend money to buy other people's information. A master-level killer like grandpa will almost never buy it.
Information. Even if information is needed, many people will take the initiative to send it because grandpa’s connections are there." Helian Youmeng explained.
Wen Xu could understand what Helian Youmeng meant. After all, at the level of Helian's seduction, money had become less important.
Helian Youmeng stretched himself out and said to Wen Xu: "In two days, I will go on a mission abroad, so I will leave Yunnan tomorrow. Do you want to continue to stay in Yunnan or leave with me?"
Wen Xu thought that since he came to Yunnan, he would stop by to see Guo Xingyun, so he shook his head at Helian Youmeng and said, "No, I still want to go to Yucheng to visit my classmates."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Helian Youmeng's eyes, and then he stood up and said to Wen Xu: "Then you can take care of yourself, Jade City is the territory of the Lu family."
…
Jade City is located in the southwest of Yunnan and is named after the jade it produces.
After Wen Xu stayed in Kunming for a whole morning, he got on the bus in the afternoon and after several hours of travel, he finally arrived at this small city rich in jade.
As soon as Guo Xingyun saw Wen Xu, he couldn't wait to give him a bear hug, but Wen Xu pushed him away.
"Go, brother is not silica." Wen Xu punched Guo Xingyun in the chest. He was extremely excited to see his good brother here.
Wen Xu had always heard Guo Xingyun praise how beautiful his hometown was. He didn't believe it at first, but as soon as he stepped into a place like this, he was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery here.
The scenery here is different from the sun-drenched tropical landscape. It is more temperate, with more subtropical plants. Since it is winter now and the beginning of spring has not yet begun, the atmosphere is not too hot. The temperature of more than ten degrees is just right.
Xu didn't feel cold after wearing a coat.
"The sun is going to set soon. The mountain road is not easy to walk. Let's stay here for one night and go back tomorrow!" Guo Xingyun said to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu smiled slightly, patted Guo Xingyun on the shoulder and said: "This is your territory, of course I listen to you."
"Since you listened to me, let's go eat now. I'll let you try Yunnan's authentic cross-bridge rice noodles." Guo Xingyun laughed and pulled Wen Xu into a rice noodle shop.
Since the ground floor was already full of guests, Wen Xu and Guo Xingyun had no choice but to go up to the second floor and find a table by the window. Guo Xingyun didn't look at the menu and directly ordered two large servings of beef rice noodles and half a kilo of rice wine.
"Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles is a nationally famous snack in Yunnan, but if you want to eat authentic rice noodles with a strong rice aroma, you have to come to a time-honored store like this." Guo Xingyun introduced to Wen Xu vividly.
Wen Xu smiled and said: "I have heard a legend before that bridge rice noodles were invented by a scholar's wife when she gave him rice noodles. I don't know if it is true."
"It's hard to say. Who knows if it is an advertising strategy of the merchants." Guo Xingyun said noncommittally.
While the two were chatting, there was a quarrel downstairs. Wen Xu couldn't help but look down and saw three or five people in black suits arguing and arguing with the shop owner in a shop opposite.
What.
"They seem to be collecting protection money?" Wen Xu turned to Guo Xingyun and asked.
Guo Xingyun nodded, lowered his voice and said, "They are all from the Jade Gang."
"Jade Gang?" Wen Xu asked curiously.
Guo Xingyun explained: "The Jade Gang is a gang founded by the Lu family 20 years ago. He controls the jade sales in Jade City and occasionally collects protection fees like this. He is the leader of the Jade City underground."
"Even if it is the boss, but it is so blatantly charging protection fees, don't your police here care?" Wen Xu looked at the scene downstairs and frowned slightly.
Guo Xingyun sneered and said: "Care? How to care! The Lu family is the number one family here. The county party committee secretary and the police chief will be afraid of three points. How can ordinary small policemen care? In fact, although the Jade Gang monopolizes the jade market in Jade City, it does not work
It’s fairly fair and rarely does anything outrageous. So we ordinary people just turn a blind eye and business people pay a little protection fee for safety.”
The Chinese have always had this idea: as long as they don't go too far, everything is easy to negotiate.
When Wen Xu heard Guo Xingyun's words, he could only sigh softly. When he was about to say something more, the waiter had already brought the rice noodles.
There are four bowls in total on the plate, which hold the four parts of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles: one is the soup, which is covered with a layer of boiling oil; the second is the condiments, which include spicy oil, MSG, pepper, and salt; the third is the main ingredients.
There are raw beef slices, chicken slices, cooked pork loin slices, tripe slices, and steamed squid slices; the auxiliary ingredients include pea tips, leeks, coriander, green onions, grass sprouts, and ginger.
, magnolia slices, boiled tofu skin; the fourth is the staple food, which is rice noodles slightly blanched in water. Covered in chicken fat, the soup is piping hot but not steamy.
When Guo Xingyun saw that Wen Xu was skillful and knew how to boil the raw meat in the soup first and then the cooked meat, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Old Wen, have you eaten it before?"
"I had it once at Jiangzhou Railway Station." Wen Xu nodded to Guo Xingyun, picked up the chopsticks, gently stirred the meat slices in the hot soup, and then slowly closed the lid.
Guo Xingyun took the cup, poured a glass of rice wine for Wen Xu, and said with a smile: "The rice wine in Yucheng is also excellent. It is cool and refreshing when you enter it, without the smell of alcohol, but after drinking it, after a while, you will become very drunk.
It saves people and is commonly known as drunkenness. I originally wondered if Shi Naian had drank the rice wine here, and that’s why he wrote about not being able to do his job after three bowls."
Wen Xu picked up the cup and took a sip. The taste was really cool and refreshing. Then he raised the cup and the wine in the cup was gone.
Seeing this scene, Guo Xingyun shook his head and sighed: "I regret ordering this drink for you. You will get drunk later, and I will carry you back to the hotel."
Wen Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get drunk so easily."
…
Wen Xu originally planned to go shopping with Guo Xingyun on the street after eating. Unexpectedly, the rice wine was really intoxicating. When he walked out of the rice noodle shop, he felt dizzy.
Guo Xingyun smiled at Wen Xu and said, "Have you tasted the bitter pill now? Let's not go shopping tonight. Let's go find a hotel to sleep in. When we get up tomorrow, I will go around with you and buy some jade to take back.
"
Wen Xu shook his head and promised Guo Xingyun, "Okay!"
Although Yucheng is a small town, because of the jade business here, it still attracts many tourists from all over the country and some foreigners who come here for its reputation, so the hotels here are still very developed.
After asking a few, Guo Xingyun finally settled on a hotel. The name of this hotel is Laike Travel, which is very apt and gives people a sense of intimacy. The black triangular roof and white rectangular walls make up the appearance of this hotel.
The hotel has three floors. The building is a lobby similar to a bar. The second floor is for general guest rooms, and the third floor is for deluxe rooms.
Guo Xingyun originally planned to only book an ordinary double room on the second floor, but Wen Xu took into account that the price difference between deluxe rooms and ordinary rooms was not too big, so he booked a deluxe double room on the third floor. Anyway, Wen Xu now
Already a rich man.
The shopkeeper brought Wen Xu and Guo Xingyun into the house. Wen Xu took a casual look at the room and thought it was pretty good, so he asked Guo Xingyun to send the shopkeeper away. He threw his head up and fell on the bed with his legs spread out.
"It's so comfortable to have a bed!" Wen Xu looked at the top of the wall during the day, thinking of the more than ten hours' drive, and couldn't help but sigh loudly.
