In a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, a wine table was set up in the hall. Chen Gongshu and a few cronies held a grand banquet to welcome Geng Chaozhong, who had come from afar.
"Lao Liu, Stationmaster Wang just left, why did you leave that stall in Peiping and come here to Tianjin Wei?" Chen Gongshu asked with a smile on his face as he eagerly put a piece of braised pork into Geng Chaozhong's bowl.
road.
Geng Chaozhong looked at the greasy piece of braised pork in the bowl. He felt a little disgusted not because he didn't like eating meat, but because Chen Gongshu's chopsticks were covered with saliva, and he mixed the saliva with the meat and put it into his bowl.
It's really a bit unforgettable.
But this is the folk custom at this time. When someone offers you food, they care about you, and it is never easy to refuse. As for hygiene, it comes second.
Holding back the discomfort, Geng Chaozhong put the piece of meat into his mouth and swallowed it in one bite without chewing. He pretended to be delighted with the delicious food and replied with a smile:
"Well, it was precisely because something happened to Brother Wang that I ran to Tianjin Guard to ask Station Master Chen, the great Bodhisattva, to see if he could think of a way to rescue Brother Wang."
"Rescue? If you can save the brothers, who won't? With these old brothers, no one is missing, how can we not talk about some love?" Chen Gongshu smacked his lips and said slowly.
"Oh, I just know how difficult it is. The gang of bastards manipulated by the party are so ruthless, they just exposed the matter to the sky. What the principal knew, a small matter has become a big matter, and a big matter has become a national matter. How difficult!" Geng!
Chao Zhong also sighed.
"It's good if you can save your life!" Chen Gongshu shook his head, "Didn't you hear what the newspapers outside said? The prince committed the same crime as the common people, let alone a dog spy, what kind of privileges can he have? It's such a mess, let me see.
, life is difficult."
"Fourth brother, please stop making sarcastic remarks and think of something quickly. In a few days, the grass on Brother Wang's grave will be three feet high!" Geng Chaozhong said helplessly.
"After thinking about it, I inquired with the National Defense Department and the Procuratorate, and I also asked a few connections. I spent a lot of money, but they didn't dare to accept it! Dean Liu told me clearly who was responsible for this case.
They are all in a state of disgrace. If the money is gone, you can make more, but if your life is gone, then you are really gone! I estimate that today and tomorrow, the verdict will be issued." Chen Gongshu also looked helpless.
Joking aside, the people in the Secret Service never take human life seriously, whether it's their own or others', but there is always friendship, and it's not like Chen Gongshu hasn't thought of a way.
But it seems that there is really no other way!
"Sixth brother, when you are in Peiping, can you think of some heretical ideas? For example, to plant some spoils for the dead Mr. Zhao, say that he colluded with the Japanese to get some cases of forcing widows to death and raping civilian girls.
He went up to the head and made this dead man stink. Maybe everyone will think that Station Commander Wang is doing harm to the people, and his guilt can be lighter." A close aide of Chen Gongshu next to him said.
"You think I didn't think about it? The problem is that the newspapers are watching! If it can be done, Webmaster Wang will do it himself, and it's my turn?" Geng Chaozhong replied angrily.
"That's right, shut up now! What you can think of, Lao Liu can't think of?" Chen Gongshu also spat at the subordinate.
The two of them sighed deeply, but kept talking about the food and wine in the glasses, and also talked about some interesting things that happened in the two places. In less than ten minutes, more than ten kinds of meat and vegetables on the table were wiped out in a whirlwind.
While they were chatting, a secret agent in black clothes and black hat walked in from outside and whispered a few words into Chen Gongshu's ear. After hearing what Chen Gongshu said, Chen Gongshu's face suddenly relaxed, and he raised his hand and slapped it away.
A jar of wine and said with a smile:
"Good news, Brother Wang's life has been saved!"
"Is there any news?" Geng Chaozhong was surprised and happy.
"The verdict has been passed. Hu Dahu, the direct perpetrator, was sentenced to death. Brother Wang only sentenced him to indulgence, but the crime was not light, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment! Fortunately, his life was saved!" Chen Gongshu said with a smile and poured a glass of wine for Geng Chaozhong.
"Life sentence?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at him first, then laughed, picked up his wine and touched it with Chen Gongshu.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Everyone knows that for some people, the judicial system of the Republic of China is just a thing that can be manipulated. As long as they don't die, there will be ways to fish it out in the future. The two of them naturally know this well.
"Well, we finally have a result. Next time we return to Nanjing, we brothers will go to Laohu Bridge to see Brother Wang." Chen Gongshu laughed, and then pointed at Geng Chaozhongle as if he remembered something, "Old Liu,
Isn’t Laohuqiao your hometown? What’s the environment like there?”
"Fuck you," Geng Chaozhong laughed and cursed, "but it's not bad inside. It's a model civilized prison! It's for foreigners, but it's not like other prisons where you'll lose half your life if you go in."
"That's good," Chen Gongshu nodded and blinked, "I also heard, Lao Liu, you are getting married?"
"Who did you hear this from?" Geng Chaozhong's expression changed.
"Haha, of course I also have news about me. Tell me, which lady is she from?" Chen Gongshu smiled mysteriously.
"They say it's a marriage, but it's actually a kidnapping. It's okay not to mention it." Geng Chaozhong didn't say much. He knew in his heart that it was probably Tang Zong who exposed the news. However, there is really no need to keep this kind of thing a secret. Everyone will know sooner or later.
.
"After all, it's a small exam. The wedding night is full of flowers and candles. When the gold medal is named, you have to have a good time this time, Sixth Brother." Chen Gongshu laughed loudly, and then picked up the wine glass, "Brother, I propose a toast to you, and wish you a happy life."
Di, give birth to a son soon!"
........
The wine with Chen Gongshu didn't end until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Geng Chaozhong left the compound, found a newsstand and bought a copy of "Declaration", and began to carefully check that he came back to Tianjin. Looking for Chen Gongshu was just a cover. The key was to get along with the lurking
The "Litchi" joint in Tianjin, and the secret code for the "Litchi" joint is hidden in the "Declarations" of the past few days.
After checking it carefully, Geng Chaozhong's eyes fell on a piece of stock trading information. His heart moved slightly. After confirming that it was what he was looking for, he folded the newspaper and walked out quickly.
At about three o'clock, Geng Chaozhong held a newspaper in his hand and walked into a securities house called "Fu Le Club" near Gongbei Street. The so-called securities house was the later stock and commodity exchange.
At that time, securities and commodity trading had become quite popular in China, and there was a relatively large team of brokers. The so-called "red vests and yellow vests" began from this time.
Geng Chaozhong walked into the shop and sat there and started to look through the printed product information. The market had just closed and many speculators had not left yet. They were discussing the market with excitement. Geng Chaozhong did not say much and just kept quiet.
Wait quietly.
About half an hour later, a fat middle-aged man in a suit walked into the shop. As soon as he walked in, he shouted at the counter: "Old rules, three hundred shares of Far East Freight, a deposit of one hundred oceans, and a dividend of thirty-seven."
Come on, buy it early tomorrow morning!"
The so-called deposit is actually leverage. When Geng Chaozhong heard this man speak, he slapped the newspaper on the table and said loudly: "Give me three hundred shares of Far East Freight, and the dividends will be as the boss said just now!"
"
"Hey, young man," the middle-aged man looked at Geng Chaozhong, "Whatever I buy, you follow. If you make money, how about you share it with me?!"
"I've lost money and I won't ask you for it. Do you care about me?" Geng Chaozhong rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about?! Young people should not be too angry!" The middle-aged man was angry and glared at Geng Chaozhong fiercely.
"If you are not very angry, you are still called a young man!" Geng Chaozhong was not willing to be outdone.
"Okay, okay," the middle-aged man's face showed a trace of flushing, "In this situation, there are still people who dare not to sell my face, Mr. Li, today I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has! Boy, how dare you
Don’t you dare go out with me?!”
There was already a hint of threat in his words.
"Just go out, who is afraid of whom? Who are you trying to scare, you old bastard!" Geng Chaozhong stood up suddenly and returned the favor.
"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you." The middle-aged man was immediately frightened when he saw Geng Chaozhong standing up, looking tall and powerful.
"Let's go, let's go. Don't you want to go out? Go, go out!" Geng Chaozhong reluctantly grabbed the middle-aged man's collar.
"You two, if you want to make a quarrel, go out and make a quarrel. This house is the territory of Tianjin Wei Gou Sanye!" A waiter next to him spoke.
"Uncle Li, get out quickly! Let this young man see your face!" Someone nearby shouted.
"Get out, get out!"
The middle-aged man couldn't hold back his shame and dragged Geng Chaozhong, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other.
"Cut it, pretend it's garlic!" A mocking voice came from the room.
Outside the dormitory, Geng Chaozhong and the middle-aged man pulled each other and turned to the corner. Seeing that there was no one around, the middle-aged man smiled and said:
"The sky, light, clouds and shadows linger together, I am Lychee."
