Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 564 Dragon Four
Hu Wan was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and the old donkey under him looked not as fat as him, which seemed a little funny.

But the passers-by on the road didn't think it was funny. In this day and age, having an old donkey for transportation is already a treat that many people can hardly enjoy.

When he came to Fengtian Mansion, he went straight to the north gate, looking for the city defense company commander Zhang Zhongshan.

Zhang Zhongshan was not at the city gate. The gate guards said he had gone to the guard to report, so Hu Wan sat and waited at the city gate.

Not long after, he saw a carriage coming out of the city gate, and hurriedly got up and shouted.

The jailer driving the carriage saw him and stopped the carriage quickly.

Hu Wan came forward and climbed into the carriage.

Lifting the curtain, he ducked in, and there was a middle-aged man in a close-fitting suit sitting inside.

The middle-aged man has a slender figure, and his long hair is combed back with pomade, so that it fits neatly.

He held a lighted cigarette in his hand, with slender fingers, a smile on his face, and a very handsome appearance.

Although sitting in the car, blocked by curtains, no one outside could see him, but his spine was still straight.

"Fourth brother, are you done?"

Hu Wan came in, sat down on the cushion, and asked the middle-aged man politely.

This man is no one else, but the prisoner who should be imprisoned in No. [-] Prison, Long Si.

"It's over, let's go back now. Are you going to the city for business? Do you want me to leave the car for you?"

Long Si took out a cigarette case, flicked his little finger lightly, and a cigarette popped out half an inch, and he handed it to Hu Wan.

After accepting the cigarette politely, Hu Wan smiled wryly and shook his head: "I ran into some trouble today, so come and ask someone to clarify."

Although he was wearing a scarf, the red and swollen five finger marks on his cheeks were still obvious, it was impossible for Long Si not to see it, but he was concerned about his face and didn't ask clearly.

"What's the matter? Want my help?"

Long Si asked a question.

He is not being polite, but really willing to help.

During this time in prison, Hu Wan took good care of him.

Not only was he allowed to move freely in prison in the early stage, but his sentence was approaching in the past two years, and the supervision on him was further relaxed, allowing him to come and go freely, just like a real free body.

Although Hu Wan saw it because he taught him a lot of gambling skills, but Long Si's temper is like this, if others respect him, he will treat them as friends.

Hu Wan waited for his words, and immediately told Long Si the specific situation.

"It's him?"

Long Si's tone was a bit complicated.

He didn't know Feinan, but he knew the two people who died.

Chen Yanming and Qiao Fei were his former good brothers, and they were also the chief culprit who single-handedly sent him to prison.

Just when he was about to be released from prison, it was obviously not a coincidence that these two people died suddenly.

"That bastard is daring and unscrupulous. I really want to kill him with a single shot, but I'm afraid that the commander will really ask me for someone when he comes back. Then it will be troublesome."

Hu Wan clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth and said, "That guy actually calls me around like a slave, and even asks me to book a banquet for him, it's really deceitful! Hmph! Anyway, the commander-in-chief will kill him when he comes back. If you piss me off, I'll..."

"Just bear with it."

Long Si interrupted him with a smile.

Hu Wan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Fourth brother, why do you say that?"

"Remember that sentence I taught you?"

Long Si took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly: "Many times, the game is often decided before going to the gambling table. You have to look at the overall situation, including off-site factors!"

Seeing that Hu Wan was still puzzled, Long Si explained: "You only know that the commander-in-chief wants to see him, but you don't know why the commander-in-chief wants to see him, so you don't dare to touch him easily, because you are not sure about the commander-in-chief. mind."

"Yes!"

Hu Wan hurriedly nodded: "How do I know what the commander-in-chief thinks?"

"If you don't know, you can guess!"

Long Si smiled and said: "You might as well guess, why did the commander-in-chief want to see him?"

Hu Wan pondered for a while, and tentatively said, "Because he killed that battalion commander?"

Long Si shook his head: "Now there is no direct evidence to prove that he is the murderer. As far as I know, the witnesses at the scene did not see the face of the murderer. They just deduced from the incident and identified him as a suspect."

"But I see that the arrest warrant has already been identified?"

"That's just a means, and, in this matter, accepting fate is not the key point."

Long Si patiently explained: "If the commander-in-chief just wanted to kill him, why didn't he just issue an order to kill him instead of waiting for the commander-in-chief to come back?"

"The commander-in-chief wants to try him personally."

Hu Wan followed Long Si's train of thought and guessed: "Now I heard that there will be a war, people are panicking, and the common people are running to the city for the protection of the Beiyang Army."

"At this time, if a Beiyang officer was killed, the commander-in-chief must be furious, and wants to kill a chicken to show the monkey..."

"You still don't get it."

Long Si shook his head and said: "As I said just now, human life is not the point. A battalion commander is not enough for the commander-in-chief to go and try the case himself."

"What's the point?"

Hu Wan was a little confused.

"I don't know what kind of news you got, but there is a special ocean in the news I heard."

"Ocean?"

Hu Wan was even more puzzled: "What's so special about Dayang?"

"Don't you understand?"

Long Si reminded: "That is an ocean that existed for ten years in the Ming Dynasty."

"Ten years of the Ming Dynasty? But this year is only the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hu Wan suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, then he shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, "You mean private casting?"

Long Si smiled and nodded: "After the death of the President, the warlords in various places will be separated. Sooner or later, there will be a war. I think it will be this year."

"Money is what is fought in wars. The commander-in-chief must prepare for the war. There must be no problems with money."

"Otherwise, in his capacity, how could he be interested in a rogue?"

Long Si took another puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "This is not just as simple as a private casting. According to my analysis, there are two possible sources of this ten-year coin, one is the Mint, and the other is the Neon Kingdom."

"The new coins need new molds, and the new molds need to be provided by Nanjing. The commander-in-chief will not be so stupid as to make his own molds to fulfill his mission."

"But he won't, it doesn't mean others won't."

"He snatched the Fengtian Mint from the old director Shan Baode last year, and it hasn't been warmed up yet. Of course, he would not be willing to have such a thing happen at this time."

"If it's not Shan Baode and Nanjing who are causing trouble, then it should be the businessmen of the Neon Kingdom who are acting as demons."

"A few years ago, a businessman from the Neon Kingdom trafficked and made money from Tianjin, but he was detained along with the goods. This case was handled in the Fengtian Dudu Mansion."

"Copper coins in our country have never been able to be shipped to foreign countries, because most of the people in circulation are still copper coins. If there are fewer copper coins, the price of silver will be cheap, and the wallet of the general will be flat. Can he be willing?"

"The commander-in-chief will not allow either of these two possibilities to happen. This guy was the last person Chen battalion commander saw before his death. The commander-in-chief needs to pry his mouth open to find out the origin of the ten-year-old bomb. Only by uprooting the forces in the rear can we eliminate future troubles forever..."

Long Si put out the cigarette butt, looked at Hu Wan and asked with a smile, "Do you understand now?"

Hu Wan opened his mouth in a daze, and only after hearing the words did he come back to his senses, nodded again and again, and said with some fear: "I really didn't expect that there is such a deep water behind here, fourth brother, fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would have died." I didn't know that I almost fell into such a big pit."

Long Si smiled and didn't speak any more.

Hu Wan thought for a while and asked, "That is to say, not only can I not touch this guy, but I have to take good care of him, otherwise, the commander-in-chief will really settle accounts with me."

"of course."

Long Si smiled and brushed the cigarette ash off his knees: "Didn't he ask you to book a table? Book him, anyway, he pays for it."

After a pause, he looked in the direction of Prison No. [-] and said pointedly: "I want to see him too. I heard that he won hundreds of dollars from Chen Yanming at the poker table. I don't know if it's true or not... "
