I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 183 The Abandoned Woman of the Republic of China (17)

"Thank you, thank you, comrade, on behalf of the suffering compatriots, I pay high tribute to you."

After Ling Shiqing came to his senses, he snapped to attention and gave Shi Jiang a standard military salute. Uncle Lin followed behind him, also with a solemn face, ashamed of his previous suspicion.

After all, most Chinese people are patriotic.

"I'm afraid it will be more difficult to go to Zhejiang Province by land. I suggest that after you transport it out, you can change to a larger ship and go directly from the Eastern Province to go ashore. It will be safer."

When Shi Jiang talked about this, Ling Shiqing and Uncle Lin looked at each other in dismay.

"Don't know your comrade's last name?"

Shi Jiang smiled slightly, and replied: "My surname is HUA, Hua from Huaxia. Let's say goodbye here, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, gentlemen, please take care of yourself."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Ling Shiqing still wanted to step forward to ask questions, but his eyes were wide open, watching every step Shi Jiang walked out, as if he was separated from him by a long distance.

But in the blink of an eye, Shi Jiang disappeared.

He and Uncle Lin glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in his mind at the same time, the masters are among the people, it would be great if there were such masters who could guide them.

However, as soon as they thought of the medicine and large yellow croaker in the boat, the two of them put this thought behind them. Humans can't be so greedy!
After returning, Shi Jiang slept until dawn.

By the next day, before nine o'clock, the entire Demon City was under martial law.

The number of people who come and go to inspect is scary.

Especially in those slums, they even started a house-to-house search.

"I don't believe it. These thieves can be invisible and fly. It is absolutely impossible to transport so many things out of the city."

The Patriarch of the Fang family heard the news with a livid face, and angrily grabbed the teacup at hand, and threw it on the ground forcefully, with a "bang", the teacup shattered into several pieces.

The patriarchs of several other aristocratic families sat on the chairs on both sides, looking at the fragments of teacups on the ground, their faces were also very ugly.

Although their losses were not as serious as the Fang family's, their wealth was not as rich as the Fang family's.

Those things, but they kept life-saving money just in case, and now someone has quietly stolen all the things, not to mention, and they don't even know who did it.

This made everyone confused and unable to find out.

"Could it be the ghost who did it?"

One of them couldn't help but speak.

After all, the secret warehouse at home, that is, only your confidantes and closest people will know.

Now there is no movement at all, and all the things have been removed. Is it either an inner ghost or a real ghost?
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other in surprise, and then lowered their heads in thought.

"If there is an inner ghost, then what happened to our families on the same night, is it because everyone has one?"

Another Patriarch of the Du family felt that it was impossible for several families to have an affair with the ghost, right?

"Patriarch Du's words are funny. If there is no inner ghost, is there really a ghost?"

The head of the Li family turned towards him with some dissatisfaction, and then said bitterly: "Maybe, this is a premeditated plan, I don't believe it, and I can't find the real culprits."

Patriarch Du felt very uncomfortable when he was bullied, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Since you said it was premeditated, how should you peel it off?"

"It's simple. If we find people who are connected to each of our families, we can roughly lock down the few people who can collude. When the time comes and the torture continues, I don't believe that they won't recruit."

Patriarch Li said viciously.

Patriarch Fang nodded, feeling that Patriarch Li's words made sense.

Moreover, he thought more than Patriarch Li.

After all, his family lost the most.

That batch of medicines was waiting to be sent to the concession. Now that the medicines are stolen, how will he explain to the concession?
The Fang family without the backing of the concession is a toothless tiger in Shanghai, and others can gnaw off a piece of meat from him anytime and anywhere.

Compared to those large yellow croakers and grains that were stolen, it was nothing worth mentioning.

Although Patriarch Fang couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he thought of those big yellow croakers.

The belongings that the Fang family had saved up for several lifetimes just disappeared inexplicably.

If he catches the ghost, he must let him taste the taste of five horses.

Searches in the city continued, and the wails of various interrogations continued.

But no matter how much they tortured, no one could tell why.

Fang Yongyuan has grown up in the past two days, so he has no time to look for Shi Jiang.

For no other reason, he was taken by his own father to meet the consul in the concession.

They invited them to dinner, gave them away to women, and even sent several boxes of ocean and large yellow croakers brought out from the commercial firm.

Only then did the anger of the enraged Concession Consul calm down, but the matter did not end there.

It's just that the time has been extended, and Fang's family has been given a month to complete the medicines.

Otherwise, even the consul would not be able to help them.

Walking out of the consulate, Fang Yongyuan turned his head and gave a "bah", and then said dissatisfied: "Father, we begged daddy to sue grandma, and gave him so much money, but we changed the deadline for such a month. Where will we come from?" Give him so many medicines?"

Patriarch Fang's face was cold. Could it be that he didn't understand what his son said?
But what can I do?
Now the place where they are standing is obviously their own land, but these foreigners insist on occupying it, saying that this is a concession, which belongs to their foreigners' territory.

One month is one month, he doesn't believe it, within a month, he can't handle the medicine.

The Fang family was in a state of desperation here, and Xie's father and mother over there took the original owner's parents to the magic capital by car.

"Father, mother, are you here?"

Xie Yuntian waited anxiously at the train station, as soon as he saw Xie's father and mother getting off the train, he rushed forward.

Following behind Xie's father and Xie's mother were the original owner's parents.

Hearing Xie Yuntian's call, he thought he was calling them, and nodded to Xie Yuntian.

Father Shi was very satisfied with Xie Yuntian everywhere.

The most important point is naturally the Xie family's support to the Shi family.

Since he smoked opium, he can no longer hold anything else in his mind except cigarettes.

This time, thanking the father and the mother for being able to persuade him to come is also a promise. As long as he calls his daughter back, he will get him a carload of cigarettes and let him smoke as much as he wants.

Shi's mother is still very sane, but since she was a child, she was indoctrinated into the principle of marrying from her father at home and following her husband. Even if she knew that Shi's father was doing something wrong, she couldn't say it.

She looked behind Xie Yuntian, and said with some disappointment: "Yuntian, didn't Jiang Er come with you?"

Xie Yuntian frowned when he heard Shimu's question, he was angry and spoke impolitely.

"I sent you a telegram this time to ask you to persuade Shi Jiang to go back. Now she is lawless here and doesn't listen to me at all. How could she come to pick you up with me?"
