Chen Baoxiang has not forgotten his promise to You Canghai. In his heart, he is a little selfish.
If people from the Eighth Front Army sneak into the Luoyuan Mansion and turn the place upside down, will that solve Gu Lanchun's siege?
On the afternoon of the third day after Shutong got drunk, Chen Baoxiang sat in the shop and took a nap by the stove.
As soon as the door opened, two people walked in one after the other.
Walking in front was Sun Liuzi from the kitchen of Luoyuan Mansion, followed by a middle-aged man with a round face and a white face and no beard.
"Boss Chen, excuse me."
Chen Baoxiang stood up to greet him and immediately made tea.
He agreed to help You Canghai sneak into the Luoyuan Mansion, and Sun Liuzi was the one inside.
"This is Boss Tian."
"Tian Dongliu, from Hebei." The middle-aged man cupped his fists and raised his hands to Chen Baoxiang.
He spoke with a Hebei accent and a slightly hoarse voice. He was polite and courteous, which made Chen Baoxiang immediately like him.
The three of them sat down to drink tea and chat for a while.
Sun Liuzi patted Tian Dongliu on the shoulder and introduced to Chen Baoxiang: "Boss Tian is a traveler. He has stayed in the East and sailed to the West. When he came to Jinan, he felt that this was a treasure land and wanted to stay and do business, so he came here to ask for advice.
.”
He was originally a member of Chief Han, but when he was in charge of food, he deducted four thousand yuan from food expenses. Chief Han beat him with twenty army sticks and drove him out of the camp.
When the Japanese came, he could not only shoot a gun, but also manage accounts and cook. He was recruited by the Japanese and became the deputy logistics director of the Luoyuan Mansion.
"Boss Chen, I want to open a restaurant. The place has been chosen. It's right next to the First Theater of Grand View Garden."
Chen Baoxiang was thinking about his promise to travel to Canghai, so he didn't take Tian Dongliu's words to heart.
"Boss Chen, how about we form a partnership? We will share the money equally and any losses will be mine."
Tian Dongliu's attitude was very serious, and it seemed that he was not talking casually.
Chen Baoxiang didn't even dare to think about opening a restaurant in the Grand View Garden. It was a paradise for the rich. Ordinary people only went to see the theater during the holidays and couldn't afford the expensive tickets in the front row, so they had to sit in the back row.
"Looking for me to partner? There are so many big and small restaurants in Jinan City. If you cooperate with others, they have chefs, waiters, pots and pans, and even recipes... How can I have the ability to cooperate with me?"
Sun Liuzi patted his chest: "Boss Chen, if I am the intermediary, I will definitely find you. You are open-minded and follow the rules. Even a small rice shop is prosperous. In the past, several of the wives of Chief Han liked to eat from you.
Chen's rice and meat...don't be humble, you two are my friends, you can really cooperate, I am very happy to see you!"
Tian Dongliu didn't say much, took out a banknote from his wallet and placed it in front of Chen Baoxiang.
"This is a silver note from the Beiping Jinchangsheng Bank. It's 500 yuan. It's my earnest money. Please keep it, Boss Chen. Regardless of whether our business succeeds or not, this money is yours."
Chen Baoxiang was surprised. The banknotes of Jin Changsheng Bank were widely circulated all over the world, and the boss had a deep connection with both black and white. Those who could open an account here were either rich or noble.
He accepted the banknote and agreed. Tian Dongliu's face was full of joy and he clasped his fists before saying goodbye.
"Boss Chen, I saw you wandering around Luoyuan Mansion these days. Is something wrong? If something is true, why don't you come to me? Don't you think of me as your brother?"
Chen Baoxiang lowered his voice: "It's true that something happened. I didn't see you at the back door. I was afraid of leaking the news, so I didn't knock on the door to ask for permission. Someone wanted to enter the Luoyuan Mansion and work in the prison."
Sun Liuzi was familiar with this kind of thing and held out two fingers: "Two hundred oceans per person. However, Boss Chen, tell your friend that you will just send them in and not rescue them. If you want to save people from there, ten to twenty
It’s useless even if it’s a hundred.”
Chen Baoxiang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party dared to collect money, the matter would be half done.
He didn't know how many people You Canghai wanted to get in. If it was to save people, of course the more reinforcements the better.
"Boss Chen, this is a matter of keeping your head in your belt. You must ensure that your friends are reliable and don't involve me."
Chen Baoxiang picked up the banknote and handed it to Sun Liuzi.
The money is real and the things are real.
As long as You Canghai goes in, whatever he wants to do is none of Chen Baoxiang's business.
"Okay, Boss Chen, please feel free to let me know when your friend decides. It's just a matter of words."
Sun Liuzi drank a few cups of tea, took the banknotes, and left with a smile.
The money is easy to come by and easy to spend.
Chen Baoxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking care of this matter.
The reason why he believed in Sun Liuzi was because he was known to be bold and arrogant, dared to accept money, dared to do things, never failed to make an appointment, and already had quite a reputation in the underworld.
Chen Baoxiang visited the Guandi Temple on Furong Street. He felt that it was a stronghold of the Eighth Front Army. Anyone who passed by there would be targeted by the enemy.
Sure enough, when he came out of Guandi Temple and walked to the north end of Furong Street, the boy appeared.
"I've found a way. Boss You can enter Luoyuan Mansion anytime he wants."
The boy was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, Boss Chen. I'll report it to you right away. He will be very happy. I'll visit you after dinner. See you then."
Chen Baoxiang admired the young man's work style. He was polite and considerate, spoke rigorously, and could take on important tasks at a glance.
The two separated, and Chen Baoxiang walked north to the south bank of Daming Lake.
He suddenly wanted to go to the Garden, so he turned left at the intersection and turned west.
When he arrived at the Garden, he saw gray tiles, white walls, and pavilions with flying eaves, and he immediately thought of Song Zixue.
Back then, Song Zixue took him through this place and talked about his grand vow to "rebuild Liangshanbo". Thinking about it now, he still feels excited.
"Every one of my Liangshan disciples has a Liangshan Park in their hearts. No matter where their ancestors are ranked, as long as the word 'Liangshan Park' is mentioned, they will worship and remember the sages. If he is destined to be there, he will definitely rebuild the Liangshan Mountain and gather heroes from all over the world.
, sweeping across the north and south of the Yellow River..."
Song Zixue is a member of the female class, and having such an ambition makes Chen Baoxiang feel ashamed.
"Everyone, the Garden has a long history and rich cultural heritage. It is one of the ancient courtyards with the most literati character in Jinan. In the past, Jinan celebrities recited poems, painted, drank and chatted here, and each time was no less than the Lanting Gathering. A few days later,
God, I’m here to host, invite everyone to come over for tea and wine, and celebrate the good harvest together, hehehehe..."
A middle-aged man who looked like a country squire, stroking his short beard, passed by Chen Baoxiang with a dozen outsiders.
The Japanese occupied Jinan, which was not a painful experience for outsiders.
Therefore, when they come here to enjoy sightseeing, they only see the charming style of ancient buildings, and they don't care about the Japanese sun flag just a few hundred steps away.
Chen Baoxiang looked at the backs of these people and felt extremely sad.
The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.
These people came together. They must have no worries about food and clothing and have enough food for their families. They are different from ordinary Jinan people.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
Chen Baoxiang knew this truth, but he still felt that these people were very irritating.
"Brother Mao, you often say that Li Yian took a boat from the moat to Daming Lake, visited the Garden, and composed hundreds of poems. Is this right here?"
"Brother Mao, why are there no inscriptions of Li Yian here? There are not even any lyrics by Xin Jiaxuan. Don't you Jinan people respect Li Yian and Xin Jiaxuan?"
"Brother Mao, Emperor Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River several times. When he arrived here, he lived on the island in the middle of the lake. Is it that small island in the distance..."
These people asked questions one after another, and the leader smiled and waved his hand: "That is all history. Both Li Yian and Xin Jiaxuan are historical figures. Today, there are only two famous figures. One is the Hero of the Northwest, and the other is
The heroes of the southwest, one dragon and one snake, echo each other from afar."
Someone pointed to the sun flag in the distance: "There should be three of them, and the king from the island country far away."
Someone immediately retorted: "Bullshit, what do the Japanese devils mean? Only that peerless hero from the northwest can take the top spot!"
The leader stroked his beard and lowered his voice: "The Japanese devils can't make a difference. I watch the sky at night and deduce the gossip. The Japanese devils will soon be exhausted. The Southern Army will make a second northern expedition to eliminate the Japanese devils and regain the mountains and rivers. Hahahaha...
"
Chen Baoxiang did not believe what they said, because the former Korean commanders abandoned the city and fled, which proved that they were afraid of being beaten by the Japanese and did not dare to confront them head-on. They could only fight across the Yellow River.
The fighting power of the Japanese was too strong. Commander Han's Tianzi No. 1 Quick Gun Battalion, Lightning Battalion, and Shuangdao Battalion had just entered the battle. In the two battles in Hebei and Henan, countless people died and fell into the Yellow River.
When people say they want to kill little Japan, they are just trying to satisfy their cravings.
If you really want to destroy little Japan, you need a well-equipped and well-trained regular army.
In addition, stragglers and gangsters are no match for the Japanese.
"Boss Chen, you are so happy. Why don't you visit the park and watch the lake here?"
Zhao Wuji came out from behind the rockery carrying the birdcage and looked at Chen Baoxiang with a smile.
"No, I just happened to come here."
"Don't be modest, Xiayuan was the place where Jinan's gangsters conspired in the past. I heard that the special operations team that assassinated Chief Zhang trained their marksmanship here?"
Chen Baoxiang did not answer. Zhao Wuji was right. In order to ensure a kill with one shot, their team members responsible for the operation had practiced the coherent movements of drawing out guns and shooting at least thousands of times.
Each action team member has a small knife hidden in his waist, and the blade is tempered with poison.
If something goes wrong with the pistol during action, immediately draw the knife and kill without delay.
Looking at the plants and trees in the garden, Chen Baoxiang remembered many past events.
"Boss Chen, you cooperate with You Canghai and help him sneak into Luoyuan Mansion. Sure enough, there is a way. We originally wanted to do this, but later gave up. Some people secretly infiltrate Chen Cang, and some people must build plank roads openly. Combining light and dark, virtual and real,
It is most effective to prevent the Japanese from understanding the context, what do you think?"
Chen Baoxiang blurted out: "What do you want? Who can tell me what is in Luoyuan Mansion?"
Zhao Wuji was not impatient and pointed to the north: "Boss Chen, the secrets buried in Jinan City are like the water of Daming Lake, unfathomable. If you want to know the secrets under the water, you have to risk drowning. It's better to be good.
Live, it’s a secret that doesn’t belong to you, it’s best not to know, hehehehe…”
