"That's right! So I have reason to suspect that the reason why Youhai chose Hangzhou as the first stop for his escape may have something to do with that guy!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang was even more shocked, "This..."
Seeing that Li Qiang was completely in shock, Yang Shuhui smiled and comforted: "You don't have to be so surprised. In fact, the Japanese also know about Youhai's anti-Japanese sentiment. Just for Fohai's sake,
It's inconvenient to pursue it. But this 'small opening' is a time bomb for both Youhai and me and Fohai. No one knows when it will explode. So I hope you can help.
I have found out the identity of this person, but I wonder if Brother Aqiang is willing to help me with this?"
"Mrs. Zhou is serious! It is my honor to be able to take care of your worries."
"Very good! I did read you right! In this case, you go back and wait for my news. If everything goes well, I will send someone to contact you within three days."
"Okay, then...I'll take my leave first."
"Well, Ah Fu! See you off!"
Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper Ah Fu walked in and sent Li Qiang out.
As soon as he left, Zhou Fohai walked out of the study and asked a little impatiently: "How is it? He agreed?"
"I agreed! The progress is smoother than I expected!"
"That's good!" After saying that, Zhou Fohai walked to the phone, grabbed the receiver, and dialed a number, "Hello? Is this from Brother Dingxun's house? It's me, Fohai..."
…
On the way back, Li Qiang reviewed everything that happened that day in detail over and over again, for fear of missing even the slightest detail.
By the time he returned to Ming Mansion, it was completely dark.
"Come back?" Haitang's voice rang out as soon as he entered the living room.
"Well, I'm back." After saying that, Li Qiang glanced at the study again and asked casually, "Where is eldest brother? Isn't he back yet?"
"I came back, but after answering a phone call, I went out again." After saying that, Haitang changed the subject, "I'm letting you back so soon. Could it be that the person has been found?"
"We found him. The kid secretly took a train to Hangzhou. As soon as he got off the train, he was caught by Xie Wenchao, head of Hangzhou District No. 76, and was escorted back by him personally."
Hearing this, Haitang suddenly nodded and said: "No wonder there is a lot of silence outside. Fohai owes you a big favor this week. You should not be pushy and pushy like before, right?"
"Of course! And without me asking, he took the initiative and asked me to go to No. 47 Xiafei Road tomorrow to find a guy named Jin Dingxun."
"Who? Why don't I have any impression at all?"
"Me too, but according to Zhou Fohai, this man studied in Japan in his early years and went to Meiji University. After returning to China, he directly served as the commander of the Jilin Civilian Army. Not only that, during the Beiyang government, he also served as a member of Congress.
He is a Japan expert, and it is said that he knows how to understand the minds of Japanese people. Although he is currently idle at home, the Japanese will give him some face. As long as he can be persuaded, the next thing will be much easier to handle."
"How are you going to convince him?"
"There's no rush, I'll go check out what he has to say tomorrow, and then I'll make the next step."
"Um!"
After a night of silence, the next morning, Li Qiang followed Zhou Fohai's guidance and came to No. 47 Xiafei Road.
The first thing that catches the eye is a fake three-story Western-style house with a red roof and white walls surrounded by pine, cypress and camphor trees. The yard in front of the building has a lawn and a fountain, and there is even a garden behind the building. It can be regarded as a sparrow.
Small and complete.
It is not difficult to see that the owner here should be a person who knows how to enjoy life.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. Not long after, an old housekeeper with white hair and beard staggered out. After seeing Li Qiang, he looked at Li Qiang warily several times, and then cautiously
Asked: "Who are you?"
"I'm at Mingqiang. I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Jin."
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper seemed to have failed to hear Li Qiang's words clearly because of his age, so he turned his ears and asked loudly: "What do you mean?"
Li Qiang also raised his voice slightly, "My name is Ming Qiang! Old man!"
This shocked the old housekeeper, and he quickly rubbed his ears and complained: "Hey, I said you are really interesting as a young man. Old man, I am old, but I am not deaf. You shout like that
What are you doing so loudly?"
Li Qiang felt speechless for a while after hearing this, but he still had the patience to apologize quickly: "I'm really sorry, old man, it was really my fault for speaking so loudly just now..."
However, before he finished speaking, the old housekeeper showed a confused look and said to Li Qiang: "You... what was your name just now?"
In this way, Li Qiang stood at the door of the Jin Mansion and introduced himself to the old housekeeper for a quarter of an hour. Finally, he caught the attention of the owner of the mansion and was able to enter the mansion.
"Oops, I'm really sorry, Mr. Ming, it just so happens that people are on holiday today, so this made such a big mistake. Old Feng is old, and not only his ears, but also his brain is not very clear sometimes, which makes you laugh.
Already."
Although he wasted a lot of time because of the old butler, it gave Li Qiang a deeper understanding of Jin Dingxun. Coupled with what he just said, it was enough for Li Qiang to make a relative assessment of this person's character.
Accurate judgment.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang quickly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Jin, you are too polite. This junior came uninvited, and I bothered you to greet him personally. I should be embarrassed."
However, Jin Dingxun didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Li Qiang carefully before nodding and said sincerely: "Yes, yes, I saw something in you that is very inconsistent with your age."
You are so mature, no wonder even Brother Zhou is full of praise for you. Tell me, why did you come to me?"
Li Qiang did not hide anything, and simply said straight to the point: "To be honest with Mr. Jin, this junior is here for the matter of Chairman Wan of the Rice Industry Association. I hope that you can take Mr. Zhou's face and take action to solve the problem."
Chairman Wan is in danger."
Jin Dingxun was silent for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Mr. Ming, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm no longer the old man I used to be. I'm a soft-spoken person! It might be counterproductive, so you'd better ask someone else.
Be smart!"
Of course, Li Qiang would not give up because of his words. Instead, he took a different approach and continued from another angle: "I know that you like to listen to operas. Your favorite one is "Qin Qiong Sells Horses". I must have said.
You must have great respect for Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Jin Dingxun burst out laughing, "Young man, I didn't expect you to start imitating those political people and talking in circles at such a young age?"
Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled face: "Why did Mr. Jin say this?"
Unexpectedly, Jin Dingxun waved his hand, pretending to be angry and said: "Hmph! Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Why did you suddenly mention "Qin Qiong Sells Horses" to borrow ancient metaphors from the present?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Jin, you have misunderstood. I just want to lighten the atmosphere a little. I have absolutely no other intention!" Li Qiang hurriedly explained.
However, Jin Dingxun didn't buy it at all, "Don't do this! What has absolutely no other meaning? I think that's what you mean. You just want to ask what I want to do. Although you said you want to help Qin Qiong, in the end you didn't
Is it right for Shan Xiongxin, who left for some reason and not only did nothing but also rode away the yellow gelding, to be Wang Xie, the two people who, although they have never met before, still know heroes, value heroes, and help heroes?"
"Mr. Jin, you really misunderstood. I'm not afraid of making fun of you if I tell you. My understanding of the play is limited to the title and the relationship between the characters in it. As for what the play is about, I don't know at all!"
"Don't do this! Not only what I just said, Wang Xie and Qin Qiong were not acquainted with each other in the play, but in reality I have never had any contact with Du Yuesheng. Even this is consistent, how can I
Is it such a coincidence? You still said it was not intentional?"
"This..." Hearing this, Li Qiang was stunned. It seemed that he couldn't clean himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so he simply said to Jin Dingxun, "Jin Lao Mingjian, if you want to talk about the junior
If you just mentioned the play "Qin Qiong Sells a Horse" without any selfish intentions at all, that would definitely be a lie, but this junior really just wants to compare you to Qin Shubao, and has absolutely no other intentions..."
"Wait a minute!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jin Dingxun, "You just said that you compared me to Qin Shubao? How did this idea come up?"
However, Li Qiang almost blurted out: "You told me!"
Now Jin Dingxun was confused, "I told you? When? Why don't I remember?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, do you still remember what you just said at the door?"
"What did you say? Isn't it just some ordinary polite words?"
"Having said that, you unknowingly made me feel the most commendable quality of Qin Shubao, which is the importance of love and righteousness. This is not only reflected in your preferential treatment of servants, but also in your treatment of servants.
The attitude of the old housekeeper was so vividly reflected that I unconsciously came up with this idea."
Hearing this, Jin Dingxun finally couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed. He swept away his previous anger and said to Li Qiang in a good mood: "You boy! You really have a way of flattering and flattering! You can say that I am alive.
At such an old age, I have seen a lot of flattery tricks from all walks of life. You are the first to be able to do it so naturally, effortlessly, fresh and refined! Anyway, since you care so much, I will make an exception to help you.
It’s better this time!”
…
"He agreed? Why? Isn't he agreeing too happily? Is he trying to deal with you? Or is there something fishy in it?" After listening to Li Qiang's story about his experience at the Jin Mansion, Haitang immediately
Transformed into a machine gun, he said a series of questions "chu tu tu tu".
Li Qiang shrugged, "According to my observation, this person is the kind of person who has a bold personality and likes to make friends. What's more, Zhou Fohai went out of his way to say hello to him in advance, and the rest will naturally fall into place!"
"
Hearing this, Haitang nodded suddenly, "Then... what should we do next?"
"wait!"
"Do nothing?"
"It's not that we don't do anything, but that we can't do anything. You must know that although Wan Molin was arrested by No. 76, without Wang Jingwei's nod, even if Li Shiqun had the courage, he would not dare to do it easily.
After all, in addition to being the chairman of the Rice Industry Chamber of Commerce, Wan is the most popular person in the Du family and is Du Yuesheng's representative in Shanghai. Therefore, if he wants to help him get out of trouble, he can only rely on Japan.
If the Japanese side puts enough pressure on Wang Jingwei, this matter may turn around."
Just as he was talking, the phone rang, and then Uncle Da knocked on the door, "Master Aqiang, a gentleman who does not want to be named called you to make an appointment with you at the Dou Le'an Road Cafe in half an hour.
See you there."
"I know, Uncle Da, go and do your work!"
"yes!"
After Uncle Da left, Haitang immediately couldn't help but rub her chin and muttered, "Who is the guy who doesn't want to reveal his surname Ming...who could he be?"
Li Qiang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Never mind it! You'll know when you go there, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Haitang flatly refused, "No! This matter is too strange. I will never allow you to take such a big risk! Unless... you take me with you!"
"How about that? The other party only made an appointment with me. What if he refuses to show up when you go?"
"This is easy to handle. Didn't you make an appointment to meet in half an hour? Then can't I just go there in advance?"
"This... is a way, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you can't take any action."
"Including someone who wants to harm you?" Haitang asked, crossing her arms.
"certainly!"
"Then why should I follow you?"
"That's why I asked you to stay at home!"
"I don't want it! Don't forget, we are partners in life and death. How can I just watch you take risks alone? No big deal... No big deal, I promise you, just be gentle. Is that okay?"
After getting along with each other for many years, Li Qiang knew Haitang's temper very well. Once he made a decision, he couldn't bring him back, so he had no choice but to nod and agree, but he still said with some fear: "This is what you said,
Don't make such a big fuss like the last time we were at the Madiel Theater!"
"Hey, don't worry, I know it well! The previous one was purely an accident. If it weren't for...forget it, I promise you that I will never make a big deal out of it. Isn't that okay?"
