After Hu Gentang, Hu Li and Sheng Xuanhuai all entered, the hawkers carrying burdens outside hurried away.
He went to Mitsui & Yoko.
After entering the door, I exchanged a code with the clerk and was led to the back where I met Eiji Asabuki.
The spy pretending to be a hawker immediately said, "Asabuki-kun, something bad has happened."
Asabuki Eiji frowned and said, "Elaborate."
"There is Hankou salt." The merchant arrived at Sheng Xuanhuai's mansion and threatened to invest one million shares. It seems that the salt merchant also joined forces with other Huai salt merchants in Hankou. These salt merchants are all very wealthy and their wealth should not be underestimated."
"What?" Eiji Asabuki was no longer calm and stood up suddenly. "What else did you hear?"
"No, just a few words of greeting, and then they went into the mansion to talk in detail."
< p>Asabuki Eiji immediately sent someone to ask Hisahide Aso from Nippon Steel Works.When Aso Hisahide heard the news, he also frowned, "These damn salt merchants are ruining our affairs. What should we do now? Once Sheng Xuanhuai has enough capital, he will not be in a hurry to find us." "I borrowed money."
"Don't worry." Asabuki Eiji had calmed down at this time. Invest it in the coal and iron factory. The most they can raise is one or two million taels. Sheng Xuanhuai will definitely come to us. The terms of the contract cannot be changed, but we can lend him more money."
Aso Jiuhide breathed a sigh of relief, "How much is the loan?"
"Three million"
Aso Jiuhide breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if there is a wealthy Zhengjin consortium that still shares the money, the funds are still huge.
Hisuhide Aso suddenly remembered another thing, "Then there has been no movement from Zhao Chuanxin, do we still need to prepare?"
Eiji Asabuki's face straightened, "Not only must we prepare, but we must also Be fully prepared, so much money cannot be lost. I heard that someone caused trouble in the French Concession last night, and many people were killed and injured. In such troubled times, even if Zhao Chuanxin is not there, there may be other lawless gangsters in China. The bandits and robbers are always bold. In addition, send someone to contact the salt merchant."
The two murmured and discussed.
Zhao Chuanxin and his party were having breakfast. The housekeeper looked on and found that the group had a huge appetite and ate everything on the table.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and asked, "Let me go and set up another table."
Zhao Chuanxin patted his stomach, "No, we are just afraid that there will be leftover food for you. Boss Hu will There’s so much to eat.”
“”
Benjamin Goldberg looked at Zhao Yixian, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to give me Su Hengtai paper umbrellas, Wang Yuxia cakes, and Lao Jiuru comb grate? And Cao Zhengxing's kitchen knife?"
Zhao Yixian hesitated, "Well, maybe the kitchen knife in Hankou may not be that good. I just finished my meal and can't eat the pastries."
He. I am penniless and have been following Zhao during this period.Masters and apprentices are passing down jobs, but there is no money left for shopping
Benjamin Goldberg was disappointed, "So you lied to me."
Zhao Yixian's old face was a little confused, "I think back then, my ancestors also Kuo Guo was passed down from the lineage of Song Taizu. During the Ming Dynasty, there were ten mansions in Yizhou, Shandong Province, and there were countless treasures on land and water. That's all."
Zhao Chuanxin nodded beside him, "Well, what he said is true. I was selling pancakes and fruits in Yizhou at that time."
Zhao Yixian""
Zhao Chuanxin turned to look at A Bao, "You are not needed for the rest of the work here. Little widow, you are free, get out."
A Bao was held hostage all the way and could not help himself. I dream of escaping.
But when things came to a head, I suddenly felt confused.
I never expected that Zhao Chuanxin, who always teased her, would let her go so easily.
I couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions.
A Bao is very thin-skinned and very assertive. When Zhao told her to get out, she refused to stay. She hugged the housekeeper and said, "When Boss Hu comes back, say goodbye to him for me." , Abao will take his leave now."
The housekeeper just doesn't know how to do it.
Aren’t you asking Hu Gengtang to make the connection?
The real owner left, leaving only a few people eating and drinking.
He stretched out his hand, but he didn’t know what to do. It is better to say that I want to stay, because I have never encountered such a thing.
A Bao went straight out and when he got to the street, there was already a crowd of people outside.
She looked around confusedly and walked towards the port.
Arrived at Shi Pier, Abao went to the China Merchants Bureau station to buy a ferry ticket. When it was her turn, she took out her pocket and remembered that she didn’t bring any money when she went out. The savings she had accumulated for several years in her hometown were also lost to Zhao Chuan. Wages were taken away in one fell swoop.
In ordinary life, there is a sense of decadence.
The snow has just stopped and the air is cold.
There is a thin layer of ice on the riverbank where the water is slow.
In the final analysis, Jin Kunxiu's death had nothing to do with Zhao Chuanxin, and the resentment should also be blamed on the patrol officers.
A Bao knows this.
She was very resentful about the death of her subordinate at first, but she was the one who sought the bad luck from Zhao Chuanxin in the first place.
It’s hard to say which one is right and which one is wrong.
What should she do now
Go back to collect Jin Kunxiu’s body, but so many days have passed and it is unknown whether the body is still there.
Go back and continue to lead your troops across Taihu Lake, committing illegal and disciplinary activities
A Bao shook his head, this road is dead, and enough people have died.
In the final analysis, she is just a helpless female.
Just as he was lost in despair, he suddenly heard the familiar and hateful voice in his ears: "Little widow, why don't you leave? You can't bear to leave this poor monk, right?"
A Bao turned around suddenly, I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
When staying with Zhao Chuanxin and the others, these people are so capableAfter struggling, even if the body is idle, the mouth is not idle either.
A Bao would often be embarrassed because of Zhao Chuanxin's unrestrained speech.
She had no time to spare, and she had no time to grieve over the spring and autumn.
After suddenly leaving that environment, the helpless feeling hit him, leaving Abao at a loss as to what to do. Suddenly I heard Zhao Chuanxin's voice again, and I felt instinctively happy.
Although this perverted monk is talkative and bloodthirsty, he is capable and resourceful. He can solve any problem easily.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at her expression and said in surprise, "You really can't bear to leave me, seeing me so happy"
A Bao was shocked, how could he be happy?
Her face darkened, "Humph, I just thought that you had not done what you promised me. You swore to help me get revenge."
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth." Of course you must keep your word, otherwise Cheng Kun will be struck by lightning."
A Bao felt a little weird.
She nodded and saw Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian following behind.
Suddenly, she felt faintly disappointed. Maybe the perverted monk didn’t come to chase her on purpose, but was just passing by.
What she thought was actually right.
Zhao Chuanxin took Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian out for shopping to see the customs and customs of Hankou during the day and do some shopping.
Thinking of this, Abao looked a little ugly and said, "I'm leaving. See you later."
Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully, "You have more money in your pocket than your face." Buy a boat ticket"
A Bao""
Zhao Chuanxin handed over a few oceans wrapped in heavy oil paper, "Take it, it's your consulting fee as a consultant."
If Abao hadn’t reminded him at that time, Zhao Chuanxin would have missed out on a big deal.
A Bao took a look, wasn't this the silver dollar that was taken away by Zhao Chuanxin?
Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of expressions waiting for her to thank her, she thought I can't help but feel itching with hatred.
"You, take care of yourself." Abao really shouldn't say anything else.
"Do what you want." Zhao Chuanxin gradually stopped smiling, "Jin Kunxiu's master is the Jiangyang thief Fan Gaotou, right? You people who are wandering in the world always think that you are the embodiment of justice. Let me ask you, is Fan Gaotou a thief?" What kind of person?"
A Bao's face became serious. "Of course he robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and served as a knight all his life."
"Any number of knights," Zhao Chuanxin spat, "Then just one. Not to mention that the bandit leader killed many innocent people without blinking an eye. Let’s talk about stealing foreigners’ cigarettes and destroying them, but he clearly resold them. I ask you, are the cigarettes sold to foreigners for smoking? If it’s not our countrymen who are suffering, then this person deserves to die, you know?”
A Bao was speechless and unable to refute.
Because Zhao Chuanxin told the truth.
But the butt determines the head, she is the Taihu Pirate, and she is used to putting gold on her face, "but that also brings harm to foreigners"
"How come the foreigners are harmed, and Fan Gaotou is making money. He makes money by building bridges and roads, helping the people, or investing in industry to create more jobs. He sells cigarettes and soil and harms the people. When he gets the money, he doesn't just eat, drink, whore, gamble, and do random things."
Abao was silent.
Zhao Chuanxin added, "Let's talk about you, Jin Kunxiu, and your group of subordinates. You often say that you take wealth without harming lives. Let me ask you, have you seriously never harmed anyone's life?"
p>
A Bao opened his mouth, but lowered his head due to lack of confidence.
Of course there is murder.
They trafficked in illicit salt, robbed passing ships, and occasionally did business similar to that of a bodyguard agency.
It is inevitable that you will encounter someone who refuses to listen and resists to the death, so he will be killed.
They are used to bragging about each other in business, and they think it is nothing. Who asked you to resist? You deserve to die.
But looking at it from another perspective, isn’t it just killing innocent people?
Zhao Chuanxin sneered, “You said Jin Kunxiu never picked flowers, so why didn’t he rape women? This has become a You can use it to show off. This is a basic moral standard for a person. Otherwise, you are a beast. You have the nerve to show it off. Are there no ordinary people among those who were robbed by you? Where did their money come from? Look at the dock. This is how men like carrying cattail bags earn their income, but you guys just robbed them casually, taking only the money without hurting anyone. Is this even called merit?”
A Bao’s thoughts after being said A mess.
She couldn't help but said, "Then you have killed so many people, so what do you say?"
Zhao Chuanxin laughed, "I kill people, but I kill the wrong person. I kill foreigners, because They invaded our land and should be killed. I killed the Taihu pirates because you have lost your conscience and still claim to be heroes who uphold justice for heaven. If I didn’t kill whoever you killed, if it hadn’t been me, I would have been killed on the spot if I had been someone else. You killed him"
"This" Abao was speechless.
She was so sad that day that she felt really angry.
Although she was not like this before.
"I am not to blame for the death of your subordinates, it is all your responsibility." Zhao Chuanxin said to her coldly, "I let you go today because I hope you are not bad to the core and can be saved." . We are both sad people in this world, let’s not say who is the poor one. If you go back and want to seek revenge, or kill innocent people to vent your anger, haha, I will not pamper you just because you are a little widow. You have not done anything on this journey. It’s rare to see what happens to people who anger me.”
A Bao was in a cold sweat after being told this.
She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.
Although she couldn't fully accept Zhao Chuanxin's words, at least she understood the truth, and the threat from Zhao Chuanxin was real.
She felt powerless, angry, and a little aggrieved.
In the end, the feeling of grievance prevailed, and she couldn't explain why.
Maybe it was the reason why Zhao Chuanxin changed his playful smile and teased her and threatened to kill her. Of course, maybeIt's because of something else.
After all, women are still emotional animals.
Because Zhao Chuanxin just talked about the workers carrying cattail bags on the dock, Benjamin Goldberg ran to a resting worker and squatted down.
In the United States, workers are actually far happier than in China, and they are even more impressive. If they are not paid enough, they go on strike and march, but if they work more, they go on strike and march, and they are unfair.
But none of the Hankou dock workers that Benjamin Goldberg saw complained, especially the baggage workers who worked for Hu Gengtang. There will be no strike.
The skinny men seemed to contain endless power in their bodies.
This kind of hard-working and hard-working spirit is simply unheard of in Benjamin Goldberg.
He asked the thin but extremely strong worker, "Uncle, you are so tired, what is the meaning of life?"
The worker wiped his sweat and only roughly understood the meaning, sorry. Said "The meaning is to come to the dock to carry cattail bags."
""Benjamin Goldberg emphasized, "What I want to express is, what is your goal in life?"
The workers just wiped Where he had been sweating, sweat broke out again. He bared his teeth and said, "The goal is to come to the pier to carry cattail bags."
Benjamin Goldberg""
Over there, Po Holding the silver dollar in his hand, he heard the funny conversation between the two, but suddenly stopped.
The conversation was obviously ordinary, but it caused waves in Abao's heart. Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website to read for free without anti-theft
