Lost and Spy

Chapter 691
"Who is looking for me?"

Meng Shaoyuan yawned and stretched.

"I don't know, just say that my name is Sun Qingsheng, and I have something to ask to see."

Sun Qingsheng?
I do not know.

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "Bring it in."

The man who came in was a man in his forties, he looked like a man from the Jianghu.

He clasped his fists together: "Excuse me, but Boss Meng?"

"it's me."

"I've seen Boss Meng." Sun Qingsheng said politely, "I'm the grandson of Mrs. Jinghu."

Mrs. Mirror Lake?
Zhang Renkui?
Didn't this just let his people go?

Meng Shaoyuan was also quite polite: "It turns out that he is under the old master Jinghu's family. I'm sorry."

He still has a lot of respect for Zhang Renkui.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his old man once staged the last part of the legend in Shanghai Bund.

In order to attack Zhang Renkui's unyielding will and force him to no longer contribute to the war of resistance, the Japanese invader Yano Yaoyi sent someone to Fan Yuan to send a letter of competition.

Zhang Renkui, who was nearly eighty years old, raised his scythe for the last time in order to destroy the Japanese invaders.

Under the provocation of Yano's murderous spirit, the old man remained calm and walked like a thunderbolt, hitting the acupuncture points on Yano's wrist with the handle of the knife repeatedly, forcing the opponent to give up the knife in just two rounds.

After Yano left, he was still ruthless. Afterwards, he threatened and lured Zhang Renkui many times, and promised to give him an official position, but the old man was unmoved, and every time he lashed out at the Japanese invaders with harsh words.

"The old man of Jinghu admired Boss Meng's reputation for a long time, and every time he wanted to meet him, there was no chance. He sent me here today. The old man of Jinghu wanted to find a time to prepare a little wine and have a banquet with Boss Meng. I wonder when Boss Meng will be free?"

Speaking of this, Sun Qingsheng hastily added: "If Boss Meng is busy with work and can't get away, the old man will come to visit in person."

Presumably it was because I released his disciples before, to express my gratitude to myself?
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while, then looked at the time: "Now."

"Now?"

Sun Qingshan was startled.

It's past 10 o'clock in the afternoon.

Then he hurriedly said: "That's very good, I'll report back to the old man and make some preparations."

"what to prepare?"

Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile, and took out two packs of things from the drawer: "Let's go, let's go, don't disturb the old man, let's go together now."

"This……"

Sun Qingsheng looked puzzled: "I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "If the old man blames you, say that I forced you to do this."

……

After Zhang Renkui retired from the military, he has been living in the "Fan Garden" in Shanghai.

Just at the gate of Fan Yuan, there were eight students standing there.Each is dressed in bunts, with open skirts, and a dagger on one side and a revolver on the other on the wide belt around the waist.

What Zhang Renkui was defending against was not people from the quack, but the Japanese.

"Brother Sun San is back."

As soon as he saw Sun Qingshan, the leader immediately came up and said respectfully.

Sun Qingshan pulled him over and whispered a few words.

The man's expression changed, and he was also full of astonishment.

It took a while to react, and hastily shouted:
"Open the front door!"

The front door opened, eight bodyguards stood in two rows, and the leader shouted:
"The distinguished guest is here!"

Sun Qingshan stretched out his hand:

"Boss Meng, please!"

……

Zhang Renkui was setting up a small table in the yard and was about to eat when he heard voices coming one after another:
"Open the front door!"

The old man was also stunned.

Who has the guts to open the front door without authorization?

Who can open the front door with such a big face?

You must know that when Du Yuesheng came to visit, he only opened the side door.

I remember that the last time the front door was opened was during the Battle of Songhu, Chen Cheng pretended to visit him during his spare time during the battle, and this was the only time he opened the front door.

Why are these disciples and grandchildren so courageous today, they opened the front door without even reporting to themselves?
Immediately, Sun Qingshan came to the courtyard first:
"Shanghai Special Office, Chief Meng Shaoyuan is here!"

what?
Zhang Renkui was taken aback again.

Meng Shaoyuan?
Why is he here at this time?
No wonder, I specifically told Sun Qingshan that he must open the front door on the day he invited Meng Shaoyuan to the banquet.

Quickly stood up, and gave Sun Qingshan a hard look: "Nonsense, why didn't you say hello in advance?"

"Old man, you are wrong to blame Third Brother Sun, I did not let him report to you!"

Meng Shaoyuan walked in from behind with a smile, holding two bags of things and clasped his hands together: "Meng Shaoyuan met the old man."

"Oh, Mr. Meng."

Zhang Renkui hurried up to meet him: "Mr. Meng was able to come here in a magnificent manner, and he was full of splendor, but it really caught me off guard."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "As soon as I heard that the old man was going to invite me to dinner, I ran here in a hurry."

"Okay, okay, Chief Meng is so proud!"

Meng Shaoyuan's personality greatly appealed to Zhang Renkui: "Come here, tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes!"

"Don't." Meng Shaoyuan stopped and said, "Isn't the old man just about to eat? There is wine and food, what else do you prepare?"

There was a large pot of rice on the small dining table, a piece of winter bamboo shoots, a cold cucumber, a mushroom soup, and a small pot of wine, all very simple.

Zhang Renkui showed embarrassment: "How can I entertain Chief Meng with this order?"

"Old man, this statement is wrong." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care: "Drinking depends on the person. If the person is right, the table will be full of delicious food. But if the person is wrong, the delicacies of mountains and seas will be tasteless."

"well!"

Zhang Renkui was overjoyed: "Mr. Meng is a wonderful person, and he speaks witty words. I, Zhang Renkui, have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have met such a wonderful person as Mr. Meng. Please, please. Prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and take care of the jar I hid." Get me the wine!"

Meng Shaoyuan sat down and opened two packages of things in his hand: "Grandpa, I still have some appetizers here. One package is decent Shaoxing fennel beans, and this package is Guanshengyuan's candied fruit, which is just right for wine."

"Yep."

Zhang Renkui couldn't help being overjoyed.

He has been in the Jianghu for most of his life, everyone respects and fears him, and he is very careful when he speaks. How can he meet Meng Shaoyuan who treats him like an ordinary friend instead of the old man of Jinghu?

When we met for the first time, it was as if we were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Zhang Renkui's status in the Jianghu is so high that Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng are far inferior. He is always cautious when speaking, for fear that he will make the old man unhappy if he says a wrong sentence.

Meng Shaoyuan's casualness was really in line with Zhang Renkui's thoughts.

His apprentices and grandchildren also looked at each other in blank dismay.

The old man is usually frugal, but whenever there are guests, he will try his best to entertain them. Sometimes he even serves eight cold dishes and eighteen hot dishes, which makes God dissatisfied and feels that he is neglecting the guests.

It's good today, drink with fennel beans and candied fruit, or did the guests bring it themselves?
A large jar of wine was brought up, Sun Qingshan poured two shallow cups, Zhang Renkui raised the cup and said, "Mr. Meng, please!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan didn't even raise the wine cup: "Don't drink!"

Sun Qingshan was shocked.

This is not giving the old man face!

But Zhang Renkui asked with great interest: "I don't know what made Chief Meng unhappy?"

"Old man, if you only talk about Officer Meng, you don't think of me as a friend. Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng, I might as well go back to the office and hear my subordinates call me that."

Zhang Renkui laughed "haha" and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. Brother Meng, brother Shaoyuan, please!"

"Please!"

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan raise the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Oh my God!

Sun Qingshan complained endlessly.

The old man called out "Brother Meng", is that okay?

Doesn't this show that Chief Meng and the old man are of the same generation?

In this rivers and lakes, who would dare to call the old man brothers and sisters now?
Sun Qingshan is Zhang Renkui's apprentice grandson, according to the old man's name, he has to call Meng Shaoyuan grandpa.

He didn't care if he was called the old man, but if it got out, Meng Shaoyuan's status in Jianghu was quite extraordinary!
Meng Shaoyuan's eyeballs rolled wildly, and he hit the snake with the stick: "You call me Brother Meng, and I don't call you old man, it makes people old. If you don't get angry, let's talk about a year-end friendship , let me call you old brother."

"Very good, very good."

Zhang Renkui fully agreed.

Who in the world would dare to speak to him like that?
On an equal footing with his old man Jinghu?
But his old man had other plans in his mind.

Meng Shaoyuan had a special appetite for him when he came here. Moreover, he thought that Meng Shaoyuan was a member of the government and he was so young. He must not understand the rules of the world, so what's the problem if he just recognized this old friend?

But he would not have thought that Meng Shaoyuan was a very cunning person, and he had made up his mind from the first minute he received Zhang Renkui's invitation.

Chang Yuqing is from the "Tong" generation of the Green Gang.

At that time, in order to unify the division of seniority, the Green Gang formulated the so-called family tree. This family tree has a total of 24 generations, which are respectively "pure morality, Wencheng Dharma, benevolence and wisdom, original nature, perfect ritual, and great enlightenment".

By the period of the Republic of China, the last four words of the Shanghai Youth Gang had been passed down, namely "Datong Wujue".

Du Yuesheng is from the "Wu" generation, and Chang Yuqing's seniority is higher than him. It is precisely because of this that he was able to be valued by the Japanese by virtue of his identity, and formed the Zodiac Society to harm Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan manages Shanghai, and everything is going smoothly, but he has never paid much attention to the gang. The gang members made him afraid of him simply because of his status as a special agent of the military command.

The Zodiac Society incident made Meng Shaoyuan, who originally looked down on gangsters from the bottom of his heart, start to think about it.

He needs a chance.

And now this opportunity appeared in front of him.

Zhang Renkui!
Across the military world, the leader of the gang!
As far as Shanghai is concerned, who has a higher status than him?
The chairman, Huang Jinrong, and Du Yuesheng all worship him as their teacher.

So, say "Brother Meng" and "Brother", and it's done.

Zhang Renkui has been in the Jianghu for most of his life, what kind of person has he never seen?Today, however, he followed the path of a scoundrel named Meng Shaoyuan.

"Old brother, since you have said so, then Shaoyuan, I will offer you another cup!"

"Please, please, today we, the year-end friends, must have a good drink before leaving here!"

Sun Qingshan, the grandson of the... generation, is really speechless at this moment!
