Chapter 180 Debts from Jianghu, Debts from Children

After half an hour.

The night is getting deeper and the wind is colder.

The streets of the Southern Railway Annex were empty and silent, with only a few pedestrians.

Occasionally, there are a few Oriental women, wearing kimonos, twitching their hips and shivering, walking and stopping at intersections and corners. They are probably girls from the kiln.

Under the weak street light, Jiang Xiaodao, wrapped in a leather jacket, curled up into a ball on horseback, yawning and sniffling, came slowly.

It wasn't until he saw Hu Xiaoyan sitting at the door of the photo studio waiting for him that he speeded up.

As soon as the horse started running, the cold wind became even worse.

When they got closer, Jiang Xiaodao turned over and dismounted. Seeing Hu Xiaoyan and Xiaohua shivering from the cold, he couldn't help but scolded them sharply.

"Are you two stupid? It's a cold day, why don't you stay indoors and go outside to get wind?"

Hu Xiaoyan said helplessly: "If you live under someone else's roof, you can't keep opening the door endlessly, so as not to disturb others' rest."

"Hey! When you mention this, I also want to say, when will this fucking end!" Jiang Xiaodao couldn't help complaining, "My sixth uncle and seventh uncle were freezing to death over there in the North Tower, and we came back so many times. God, I’m almost suffocated to death because I haven’t done anything.”

"There's nothing we can do about it. There's a lot of wind in the city right now, and a little impatience will mess up a big plan."

"This is the same thing again, I'm tired of hearing it!"

Hu Xiaoyan said with relief: "We are not waiting in vain. Xiao Xifeng came to deliver the letter just now. Han Ce is back. It is estimated that Zhou Yunfu will be here soon in a few days."

Jiang Xiaodao was too lazy to listen: "You called me here just to talk about this?"

"Of course not." Hu Xiaoyan called Xiaodao to her side and lowered her voice, "Xiaodao, I probably know who tipped off the Bai family."

Jiang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, then became interested and quickly asked: "Who is it?"

"It should be the girl from 'Huifangli'."

"Who?" Jiang Xiaodao reacted, "You mean Zhao Lingchun? That's nonsense! You're more reliable than saying she is that big teapot Fulong. She helped my father back then. If she hadn't gone to Wang Yanzong in time, Our father was probably captured by the 'black hats'."

"It was before. Have you forgotten? Didn't Zhao Guoyan tell you before that Chen Wantang had an unedged knife behind our father? Maybe she helped us at that time just because it hadn't been sharpened yet."

"Aren't you all just guessing!"

It’s not that Jiang Xiaodao didn’t believe it, but that the reason was too far-fetched.

However, what he didn't expect was what Hu Xiaoyan said next.

"Xiaodao, that girl... I seem to know her."

"Do you know her?" Jiang Xiaodao was confused for a moment, "Why, she used to rely on fans? Otherwise, if you don't go out or step out of the door, how can you get to know her? How can she come to Fengtian? For many years.”

"It's not Fengtian, it's in our hometown - Liaoyang." Hu Xiaoyan asked, "Is there a scar on her left eyebrow bone?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaodao felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"How long has she been in Fengtian?"

"Probably almost ten years ago." Jiang Xiaodao suddenly recalled the past, "By the way, it seems that Mrs. Feng sold it to you, but I remember that my father also asked me to ask you if you knew a guy named Chun. My son, didn’t you say you had no impression?”

"You didn't say anything about the scar!" Hu Xiaoyan argued, "It wasn't until my aunt took me to the train station that night and I saw her that I remembered that the girl I met at Mrs. Feng's place seemed to be She. I still remember that she was not kidnapped, but sold by others."

Jiang Xiaodao became increasingly uneasy: "Daughter-in-law, do you still remember the day she was sold to Mrs. Feng?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded.

She remembered, and she remembered it clearly!
It's not that Zhao Lingchun is so special, but it's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Bengqiong can't hear the sound.

On that day, the Guangyou Temple Fair opened and a murder occurred. At that time, Jiang Xiaodao and Hu Xiaoyan had met from a distance.

Jiang Xiaodao was stunned when he heard this, remembering the past vividly.

In the 29th year of Guangxu's reign, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month.

That was the first time in his life that he killed someone. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as a chess piece, he checkmate the entire Changfeng Escort Agency.

"No...can't you?"

The case of the Changfeng Escort Bureau was already ten years ago. Not to mention now, even back then, after returning to Fengtian, few people mentioned this past event. It was not intentionally concealing it, but it was something that was widely known among the "Owl" people. In the brother's career, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Jiang Xiaodao was a little hesitant and murmured to himself: "But I remember that my fourth uncle went to do the finishing work and didn't find anything wrong! Besides, it's been ten years, if she was really related to Changfeng Escort Agency, why would she have gone there so early? Already?"

"Xiaodao, not everyone has the courage to take revenge." Hu Xiaoyan boldly speculated, "It's also possible that she didn't know who her enemy was before. I think this is what Chen Wantang meant when he said he was not aggressive." "But it's possible that she didn't know who her enemy was before." , even if your guess is correct, how did Chen Wantang know about this?"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaodao himself came to his senses.

"Could it be that it's Shen Guoliang? Hiss! That's not right. According to that, Shen Guoliang betrayed him ten years ago? It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it! Shen Guoliang has no reason to protect Zhao Lingchun and destroy the Changfeng Escort Bureau. He also has Share!"

Hu Xiaoyan asked back: "Could it be related to the two people you hired to dig graves and steal corpses earlier? If I remember correctly, they are also from Liaoyang, right?"

Jiang Xiaodao woke up suddenly.

After Lao Yanpao and Tie Geda came to Fengtian, they did go to "Huifangli" and were kicked out by Shen Guoliang.

Shen Guoliang was Chen Wantang's clue, and Chen Wantang told Zhao Lingchun's life experience.

If that were the case, everything would make sense.

However, all this is just speculation and there is no conclusive evidence.

The more Jiang Xiaodao thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

Gratitudes and grievances in the world are getting more and more retaliated. Old grudges are not resolved, but new grudges are formed; kindness and kindness are not repaid, and favors are added.

The cycle goes on and on, like an endless hell!

Although he never mentioned it, Jiang Xiaodao did feel a little guilty about the He family, so——

"Daughter-in-law, if it's like what we two guessed, I have to insert her quickly to prevent her from doing bad things secretly again."

"But we have no evidence." Hu Xiaoyan said, "Dad also said similar things when he was in Shi Hospital. No matter how reasonable the guess is, it is just a guess. You can't make a conclusion. You have to deceive her."

Jiang Xiaodao waved his hand impatiently.

Old and new grudges are like a thorn in the back!
"I need some evidence! If she is really related to the Changfeng Escort Agency, if I don't torture her to death, she will torture me to death! If I really want to kill her, just a suspicion is enough! What can be accomplished with so much chattering!"

Hu Xiaoyan quickly explained: "Xiaodao, I'm not trying to stop you. If that girl really has a problem, the more she wants revenge, the easier it will be for us to take advantage of her."

"Use?" Jiang Xiaodao rolled his eyes, "How to say?"

Hu Xiaoyan looked left and right on the street, found a corner with leeward wind, and whispered softly next to Jiang Xiaodao, like this, like this.

Jiang Xiaodao was startled when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Did dad still have such a skill in the first place?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded silently, made a gesture of silence, and stopped talking.

While the two were talking, they heard a sharp whistle from the north of the city.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of noisy footsteps could be vaguely heard. Although it was far away, the "rumbling, booming" sound was particularly real.

After a while, I looked up and looked around the commercial port, and saw several groups of New Army soldiers wearing light blue uniforms.

Due to the lack of sight, Jiang Xiaodao could only get a vague idea of ​​how many people there were.

The old boy immediately grabbed his wife's cold hand and said tremblingly: "Daughter-in-law, do you hear me? What's going on? What the fuck, is this going to be a fucking war again? I guess it's the gang that wiped out the party. !”

Hu Xiaoyan thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the reason.

"I heard that the Advisory Council seems to be meeting tomorrow."

"What meeting?"

"It seems that the loyalist Governor Zhao and the revolutionary Wei Tianqing are rumored on the street to establish some kind of Fengtian National Security Association. It's probably because Dad has the final say."

"That Wei Tianqing of the New Army?" Jiang Xiaodao snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Oh, it seems that dad is right. These party members can't accomplish anything big."

"Why do you say that? Didn't Nakamura say that if the Japanese don't lend the railway to the governor to mobilize troops, the Qing Party will definitely win!"

"Take some nonsense!"

Jiang Xiaodao looked at the old city wall in the distance, with his left hand on his hips and his right hand in the air.

"If I have so many soldiers, why don't I just talk about it and go ahead and do it! Even if the emperor continues to fuck up, this world was conquered by our ancestors. Did it come out of a meeting?"

"So, you don't think they can make it?"

"It's not me, it's my father and Zhou Yunfu who both think so. Let me tell you, if you don't have that arrogant energy, you'll just be working in vain in the end! Hey! Say no more, let's go, I'll carry you into the house!"
