Zhang Xiaolong did not attack Jixi immediately. He asked Wang Xiaofei to stay in Jixi and take the train with some guards to meet Tang Zhen in Nanjing.
This war has attracted the attention of the authorities. As a "good citizen", Zhang Xiaolong has to explain something.
I drove through the ancient city gate of Nanjing and looked at the huge Taotie, standing in the withered mountain forest. I suddenly felt that City A was missing an iconic mascot. I must get one when I go back. I must not be overjoyed.
Cartoon images such as beautiful sheep and sheep will be ridiculed by future generations for their lack of self-restraint in a few hundred years.
The car passed through the city gate and entered the city of Nanjing. The road was lined with rows of plane trees and low buildings on both sides, retaining the prosperity of more than a century ago and full of the nostalgic old tune. Opposite the Nanjing Presidential Palace
, is a towering hotel that makes the courtyard of the political center of old China look a bit low.
The car stopped in front of the hotel. When he got off the car, Zhang Xiaolong glanced at the bustling tourists at the entrance of the Presidential Palace. It was an old house carrying history. If you have time, you can go in and take a look.
Tang Zhen was already waiting for Zhang Xiaolong. When he saw the old man again, his expression was not good, he was very serious, and the atmosphere was a bit like interrogating a prisoner.
Zhang Xiaolong also knew that the fuss was a bit big this time, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you are angry."
Zhang Xiaolong was not polite, sat directly next to Tang Zhen, and poured him a cup of tea.
"Humph!" Tang Zhen snorted angrily.
Zhang Xiaolong was relieved. As long as Tang Zhen was willing to speak out, it meant that there was still room for redemption. Zhang Xiaolong said aggrievedly: "Mr. Tang, the Wang family is the one who picked the trouble this time. As a civil servant, I am still very peace-loving."
Tang Zhen said angrily: "You think I don't know what you are doing behind your back? Didn't you send someone to poach Wang Dun and start a fight?"
"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong laughed heartily and did not answer at all.
Tang Zhen glared at Zhang Xiaolong and said, "How dare you! Don't be afraid that the higher-ups will harmonize you. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the historian holding you back."
Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly explained: "You are too serious, I don't dare."
Tang Zhen cursed a few more angrily, and Zhang Xiaolong just laughed and listened. After Tang Zhen had reprimanded enough, Zhang Xiaolong said: "Please calm down, I didn't mean it. You said they tried their best before."
If you trick me, you have to let me find some mental balance! Otherwise, I will be too wronged."
Tang Zhen sighed: "Director Wang is a bit too much."
"It's not a little bit, it's quite excessive." Zhang Xiaolong emphasized.
Tang Zhen pointed at Zhang Xiaolong and said, "You are not a good person either. You have no right to criticize others. Tell me! What are you going to do?"
Zhang Xiaolong suggested: "I can stop the attack, but there is a prerequisite. Let Wang Dun leave Huangshan and get away. I can guarantee that my people will never step into Huangshan."
Tang Zhen thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid the Wang family won't agree."
"The only option is to fight, but I will try my best not to use force." Zhang Xiaolong made a good wish to drive Wang Dun out of Huangshan. It is impossible not to use force.
Tang Zhen said: "You kid is playing tricks on me."
Zhang Xiaolong said hurriedly: "How dare I! Wang Dun is too close to me, and the Wang family has a lot of money. He can bribe the Taihu Gang this time, and I don't know who he will bribe next time. You will never let me take over Jiangsu."
Unified."
Tang Zhen couldn't answer this question. Although Zhang Xiaolong controlled several cities in Jiangsu, he did not carry out large-scale expansion. As long as small local organizations do not confront Longtang, there is room for survival. For example, the Taihu Lake Gang is also considered a local
The last big force, because there was no conflict of interest, Longtang did not touch them, and Longtang's lower-level organizations still did business with them.
The central government allowed Zhang Xiaolong to rise because of Zhang Xiaolong's tolerant behavior. Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong lived in City A and worked hard to develop the local economy, which was beneficial to the central government.
Wang Dun was allowed to recruit troops in Huangshan at first. Perhaps the superiors wanted to see if Zhang Xiaolong's model could be replicated in Huangshan, but it backfired. Wang Dun's purpose was obviously not to develop the local economy, but to gather strength so that he could compete with Zhang Xiaolong.
The starting point itself is wrong.
Zhang Xiaolong continued: "Mr. Tang, my request is actually not excessive. I can attack directly now. I came to you not just for a peaceful solution."
Tang Zhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After thinking about it in his mind, it would be better to resolve the matter peacefully. He nodded and said, "I will talk to Director Wang. You go and rest first."
Zhang Xiaolong stood up to say goodbye and did not go back to his room. Instead, he left the hotel and walked around the Presidential Palace opposite. In this political center of the old era, Zhang Xiaolong felt a sense of majesty and the cruelty of changing dynasties.
"Is Hong Xiuquan buried here?" Zhang Xiaolong stood in the hall, looking at the huge photos surrounding him.
Qi Fanghang replied: "It is said that it is buried under the hall."
“What a great place!”
Zhang Xiaolong followed a tour group and walked around the Presidential Palace. The tour guide gave an explanation, so he had a certain understanding of this building.
While the tour groups were waiting for their own activities, Zhang Xiaolong and others strolled to the nursing home at the back, walked through a bamboo wall made of silk and bamboo, and then walked to a lotus pond.
Looking up, he found Fang Ying standing by the lotus pond, looking thoughtful. Zhang Xiaolong walked over and asked, "What is Fang Ying thinking about?"
Fang Ying turned his head, with tears in his eyes, and realized that Zhang Xiaolong had wiped them away hastily.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Zhang Xiaolong asked hurriedly. With Fang Ying's character, he rarely cries, because soldiers don't shed tears easily.
Fang Ying glanced at Zhang Xiaolong angrily: "You don't have to worry about my affairs." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Qi Fanghang said: "What kind of attitude is this!"
Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, she has been wronged enough by coming to City A."
"She is just a spy. Anyone who dares to use her will bring her own grievances." Qi Fanghang is not a pitiful person at all.
Fang Ying was appointed by Tang Zhen, saying that he wanted to protect Zhang Xiaolong's safety, but Zhang Xiaolong had broken many laws and disciplines, and he did not dare to bring such a person with an official background around. So after Fang Ying arrived in City A, he basically
He was doing some clerical work, or looking after the house, almost like an old man working late shifts.
When an elite soldier is reduced to a watchdog, no one else will be mentally balanced.
Zhang Xiaolong couldn't comfort her, so he visited the Presidential Palace. Zhang Xiaolong also took a walk around the nearby Prince's Palace. In the palace's theater, he drank some tea and watched a not-so-exciting performance.
When he came out of the palace, it was starting to get dark. Zhang Xiaolong was about to go back to the hotel when someone suddenly came to report that Fang Ying had been kidnapped.
"What!" Zhang Xiaolong felt as if he heard wrongly.
The person who came to report said with certainty: "Ms. Fang has been kidnapped. The kidnappers just called us and asked us to pay a ransom of 300,000 yuan, otherwise they will break up."
"**!" Zhang Xiaolong cursed happily.
This group of kidnappers only asked for a ransom of 300,000 yuan. They must be some small bandits, the kind who can't stand up to the public. They can be a studio movie, so there is no way they should be caught by a group of small bandits!
Touching his nose, Zhang Xiaolong ordered: "Check and see who did it. He is too talented."
If a case like kidnapping is investigated by the police, it will take forever and there will be no concrete results. If it is investigated by the local underworld, it will be faster, because many kidnappers will act with "buddies"
Brag about your plan, seek all the moral support, and then take action, especially for newcomers.
Soon, Zhang Xiaolong got the exact news. It was indeed a group of newcomers who kidnapped Fang Ying. The main culprit was a wage earner from Sichuan. He only thought of kidnapping for ransom when he couldn't find a job and was in poverty. Their target was
A tourist who came to Nanjing caught a "poisonous" big fish on his first trip.
Zhang Xiaolong spent 20,000 yuan to get information from a drug addict. He directly led people to find the gangster's den and arrested the three main criminals without even asking the names of the three kidnappers.
At this time, Fang Ying was blindfolded and her hands and feet were tied up in a wooden box. Not to mention how wronged she was. When Zhang Xiaolong's hand touched her, her body shook and she struggled hard.
Zhang Xiaolong said: "It's me."
Hearing Zhang Xiaolong's voice, Fang Ying gave up struggling, but his body was still trembling. Zhang Xiaolong personally untied the rope from her body, took off the mask on her head, and complained: "You don't have to be so bad. Amateur kid
The kidnappers can capture you, how did you do it?"
The escaped Fang Ying sat in the box and did not stand up immediately. He looked at Zhang Xiaolong aggrievedly, tears flashing in his eyes. When Zhang Xiaolong went to help her, she suddenly burst into tears.
"This is..." Zhang Xiaolong was stunned.
Zhang Xiaolong saw Fang Ying crying twice in one day. It was really shocking that the usually strong Fang Ying could cry so miserably.
Zhang Xiaolong asked carefully: "Comrade Fang Ying, don't cry! If you feel aggrieved, I will ask people to kill these three kidnappers now. I guarantee that no one will tell anyone about your kidnapping."
When the three kidnappers were subdued, they all panicked. One of them asked cautiously: "Brother, aren't you the police?"
Qi Fanghang took out his gun, put it on the man's head, and asked coldly: "Do you think we look like the police?"
"You...are you..." the man asked tremblingly.
Qi Fanghang reported: "Longtang, even our big boss's people dare to help. You are tired of living, aren't you?"
The three kidnappers peed on the spot. Longtang is the most powerful gang in Jiangsu.
