20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 354: Shaking hands at the table, handing a knife under the table
Xiaoxiguan, Zongheng Freight Insurance Company.

It was past noon, the sun was rising high, the snow on the ground slowly melted away, the road was slippery and muddy, and pedestrians were scattered here and there.

As usual, Jiang Lianheng met with the flirt sent by Mr. Rong Wu in the office on the second floor.

"Lian Gong, how are you thinking about it?"

Na Min used his little finger to hook the braid hanging down the back of his head. His eyes narrowed into narrow slits. He looked confident and confident.

This confidence stems from the huge profits that Hongwan can bring to the Jiang family on the one hand, and from his so-called origin on the other hand.

What is in the mind is what the eyes can see.

He seemed to believe from the bottom of his heart that all the people outside the customs were like him, vaguely looking forward to the restoration of the Qing Dynasty.

However, this thought of restoring the country was temporarily hidden due to President Fang's power and Sun Dapao's instigation.

Jiang Lian sat across from Na Min, frowning and saying nothing. He had been working here for a long time.

Na Min then smiled secretly: "Lian Gong, I know you have some issues with the Japanese people. But don't worry, as long as you are of the same mind as us, the Japanese people will give you great convenience in all your business in the future. door!"

"That's right! They are all domestic slaves of our Qing Dynasty. It doesn't matter whether his surname is Xu, Duan, or Feng. As long as he meets Long Live Lord, well, just look at it! And beheading him? This country, It was given to them by our Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, not defeated by them!"

"Don't worry!" Na Min said hurriedly, "Lian Gong, if you are willing to help and get out of the trap, we will protect you! This is such a great achievement, the emperor will remember your kindness."

"That's not the case! Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just talk about that old man Zhang. When he entered Sijiu City and met the Long Live Lord, he still kowtowed! And that Zhang Xun, he still doesn't want to twist his pigtails!"

"That's right, that's right, it's not about rebellion, it's about restoring the country!" Jiang Lianheng said with a smile, "But even if it's about restoring the country, the risk is still too great."

"Why is Mr. Lian just talking nonsense? How can this be called a rebellion?"

Jiang Lianheng slapped his thigh and said, "Master, if you want to talk like this and I refuse again, then you have lost your sight."

There is no need to hide it, and there is no way to hide it.

"You're welcome."

"Tsk! Well, sir, this red pill is indeed a good thing. But for things like rebellion, if you don't handle it well, you will be beheaded!"

Jiang Lianheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but said: "You are like this! They are like this! But the problem is, I am not a royal family. If something goes wrong and you continue to be prosperous and wealthy, my life will be at risk."

"That's really a lot of trouble."

"Wait a minute! I'm telling you the truth. In the past three days, I have also asked a lot about you."

Na Min waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's not big, it's not big. Let me tell you this. Look, our emperor still enjoys happiness in the Forbidden City. What's the risk? Mr. Lian, don't even look at these big ones now." Member, who didn’t kowtow to our emperor back then?”

Na Min simply opened the skylight and spoke openly, using this as a means to win over, saying: "Lian Gong is a smart man. In our Northeast, we can achieve great things together. How can we do without the Japanese people? With the support of the Japanese people, the Qing Dynasty will be restored." , isn’t that a sure thing?”

"He must dare too!"

"This matter of yours, no, no, no, it is our matter. Are there any Japanese people behind it?"

Jiang Lianheng listened silently.

"You must be an old nobleman, benevolent and righteous!"

Na Min nodded with satisfaction, curled his lips and said, "So, Mr. Lian, you don't have to be afraid of anything, just follow us!"

"Yes, I understand."

"Then I have to thank you first."

Jiang Lian stood up, lit a cigarette for Na Min, and then asked: "Master, let me listen to your chatter. I have to do this with you! But I am timid. Still a little worried.”

"Oh? Where does this worry come from?" Namin asked.

"Do you think the Japanese people can keep their word?" Jiang Lianheng asked nonchalantly, "Hey, how did they agree to it? You are chatting with me so that I can have confidence in my heart. Don't let them be naked and rebel again. My account, I changed my mind before the battle!"

"They, they promised-"

When the words came to his lips, Namin suddenly stopped alertly, rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "What did they promise? Don't worry about it."

"Beware of me."

"No no."

"Beware of me!"

"Hey!" Na Min sighed, "Lian Gong, this is military information. Not to mention you, even I don't know much about it. However, I can give you a solid background, even if - even if - We have never fought before. Let’s retreat to the area affiliated with the Southern Railway. How dare we fight Zhang Laozao? How dare we fight his big head? Let’s return directly to Guandong Prefecture along the railway. Who dares to come?”

Jiang Lianheng responded: "No one dares to have such courage!"

Na Min chuckled and said, "How's it going, Mr. Lien? Do you feel confident this time?"

"Yes, yes. It should be said or not, but you guys have thought carefully and thoroughly." Jiang Lian looked at him and couldn't find out the truth, then immediately turned to ask, "What's the specific thing about my side? Mission?" Although Na Min hesitated, he had to take risks if he wanted to win over him. After thinking about it, he finally relaxed.

"Okay, we've already talked about it at this point, and I can't hide it from you. I know you have a lot of connections in Fengtian, and your main purpose is to help us explore the actual situation of the defense in the provincial city. How about it?"

"Not so good! With the power of Fifth Master Rong, how can you detect such a trivial matter? You have to give me some decent errands. The heavier the task, the greater the credit!"

"Ho! Fifth Master Rong really saw you right!" Namin thought, "What about you, at the right time, help us create some commotion in the provincial capital?"

"Cooperate inside and outside?" Jiang Lianheng asked, "Senior, are you going to attack the provincial capital directly?"

"Hey! Mr. Lian, I didn't say anything!"

"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything either!"

They both laughed in unison.

Li Zhengxi, who was standing at the door, finally had some memory. He remained silent from beginning to end, and even the expression on his face remained unchanged.

He just listened quietly, listening to these true and false rhetoric and false and true temptations.

But after listening to Jiang Lianheng laugh, he suddenly asked: "Master, forgive me for being stupid, when is the 'appropriate time' you just mentioned? You can tell me the number together, I'd like to Let the brothers prepare in advance."

Na Min laughed and said, "No, no, we will send someone to notify you when the time comes. Just wait for the news."

"It's quite mysterious."

"We have to wait for the opportunity."

"Then this time -"

"Lian Gong, don't bother asking me. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm just a messenger and can't make the decision."

Jiang Lianheng could only nod his head, and then asked again: "I understand, I understand, how much commotion do I have to create? Or rob a bank? Set a fire? If not, blow up the palace." ?”

Na Min glared and said reproachfully: "You blew up the imperial city. Where does the emperor live?"

Jiang Lianheng quickly apologized: "Ouch! That's right, that's right, I forgot. I just thought about how to make a big fuss. So tell me, what are you going to do specifically?"

Na Min waved his hand nonchalantly, lowered his head to dust off the cigarette ashes that fell on his body, and when he raised his head again, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

"Lian Gong, I know you have capable people under your command. How about—you help us kill a few people?"

"Hey! What did I think! How much noise can killing people make? How many people do you think we should kill?"

Na Min glanced at Jiang Lianheng with his eyes raised, and laughed in a low voice: "Actually, we don't need to kill many. It's just that when the fight starts, how about you do me a favor and go to the General's Office and blow up the headquarters? ? They have guns, and so do you. After the incident is over, take your brothers and just run to the Southern Railway Annex, and we will arrange a shelter for you."

Jiang Lianheng's eyelids twitched but he said nothing.

Na Minze continued: "In addition, if there is a stalemate one day, I hope you can take the trouble to help open the special line of the General Department. Lian Gongtian is so capable, is this a small favor, no problem? "

Jiang Lianheng put away his smile and said, "This is no small favor for you!"

"You have to say this, after everything is done, what you will get from him will not be a small favor!"

Jiang Lianheng pondered for a while and finally said, "Okay, I'll act according to the situation."

"Happy!" Na Min asked with a smile, "Lian Gong, are you trying to trick me here?"

"Master, I also want to ask, you won't cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, right? Then the story of Qiao Qimin is really going to change?"

"One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being withered!" Na Min suddenly raised his voice and said, "Rong Wuye, that is the person who is going to achieve great things! What does such a trivial matter mean? As long as you are worthy of Rong Wuye, Rongwu Master will naturally I'm sorry to you. But——Lian Gong, if you are two-faced, then you are not sincere."

Jiang Lianheng leaned heavily on his chair, looked at the other person with squinted eyes, and then asked: "Having said so much, let's make it more affordable! When can you give me the franchise license?"

"Soon, if you want red pills, we can give you a batch now. But the franchise license cannot be negotiated until the project is completed."

"Okay! Then, sir, do we wish the restoration of the country an immediate success?"

Na Min stood up in response, faced Jiang Lianheng, first clasped his fists, then shook hands, and then said a few polite words.

The two chatted and laughed, left the office and walked down the stairs arm in arm, as if they had become close friends who had known each other for many years.

When he arrived at the gate of the insurance company, Namin turned around and said with a smile: "It's cold outside and the road is slippery. Please stay here! We will have many opportunities to meet again in the future." After saying that, he turned his head to the west wind again, "Brother, stay here. Fortunately Nice to meet you!"

Jiang Lianheng immediately followed with clasped fists and said goodbye: "Master, walk slowly! Come back often when you have time!"

"Okay, okay, stay, stay!"

The two of them turned around at the same time, and the corners of their mouths that had been raised immediately dropped, and there was no longer any smile in their eyes.
