The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

Zhao He, Li Shiqi, Zhou Qilong, and Zhou Yang exchanged cups, drinking wine and chatting.

Moreover, the conversation was all about trivial matters. It seemed that Zhou Qilong's invitation was just for drinking and eating, and had no other purpose.

Zhao He was very patient. Since the other party didn't speak, he just pretended that he didn't know what to do, whether he should drink or eat.

As for Li Shiqi, she is just a foodie and seems to have no interest in everyone's chatting.

It didn't take long before I was full of wine and food.

At this moment, Zhou Qilong took a sip of wine, suddenly put down his glass, looked at Zhao He and asked.

"Boss Zhao, aren't you curious why I asked you to come?"

Zhao He put down his chopsticks, knowing that it was time to talk about business next, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm curious, but since I asked you to invite me, you will definitely tell me, so why should I ask more!"

"Business people are really cunning. I'm afraid you've seen through all my thoughts."

When Zhou Qilong said this, he paused and went straight to the topic: "I invite you here this time. On the one hand, I want to make friends, and on the other hand, I also want to cooperate with you."

"What cooperation?" Zhao He asked immediately, showing great interest.

"Destroy the Fang family and overthrow Xia Biao." Zhou Qilong said.

Hearing this, Zhao He looked at him in surprise, not expecting his answer to be so direct.

Even Li Shiqi, who was eating vegetables, stopped and looked at Zhou Qilong in surprise.

"Give me a reason!" Zhao He asked.

Not allowing Zhou Qilong to answer, Zhou Yang suddenly answered: "Brother Long, you don't know something. Although my father is the county magistrate of Panlong County, it is actually just a gimmick. His rights have been completely eclipsed by this bastard Xia Biao. While he was keeping the police station under tight control, he was bribing officials, big and small, and constantly ostracizing and isolating my father. Now, my father is isolated and helpless, just a status."

"It is for this reason that I want to overthrow Xia Biao and regain control of Panlong County. As for the Fang family, they are in the same nest as Xia Biao. If I want to move either party, the other party will jump out to stop it." Zhou Qilong continued. road.

Zhao He nodded, this was almost as he guessed, and he also understood the conflict between Zhou Qilong and Xia Biao.

"In the past few months, I have been holding back and waiting for the opportunity." Zhou Qilong said this, staring directly at Zhao He, "And your appearance made me realize that this is a great opportunity." Chances are, as long as I cooperate with you, I can definitely eliminate the Fang family and overthrow Xia Biao."

"I'm just a poor man. If the people don't fight with the officials, I'm afraid..." Zhao He said.

But before he finished speaking, Zhou Qilong interrupted: "You have no choice now. The Fang family and Xia Biao are already targeting you. No matter what, they will kill you. Instead of doing this, it is better for us to join forces." , strike first and catch them off guard."

"Fang Wenying and Xia Biao are extremely ambitious and cruel. They have done countless shady things behind the scenes. They have offended them both. Should they be tortured to death? Or should they be tortured to death?"

Zhou Yang looked at Zhao He and Li Shiqi, and then said: "Brother Long, Miss Li, you two have no choice now, unless you leave Panlong County and become a coward."

Zhao He smiled helplessly, looked at the two of them and said, "Oh! You two said so, do I have any other choice now?"

"Hmph! We won't be cowards! We will fight them to the end." Li Shiqi snorted.

After hearing this, Zhou Qilong and Zhou Yang already knew their answers, and they were immediately overjoyed.

"That's great, you two, I'd like to offer you this glass of wine." Zhou Qilong laughed, raised his glass, and said proudly.

"Here, cheers!" Zhao He also raised his glass.

The four of them touched it lightly and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao He drank the wine and looked at Li Shiqi who also drank it in one gulp. He couldn't help but frowned. Then he reached out his hand and gently pulled her, and whispered: "Drink less. Don't get drunk. It's bad for your body." not good."

Li Shiqi turned to look at Zhao He. Seeing the concern on his face, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She smiled and nodded, revealing two sweet dimples, which were very beautiful.

Zhao He couldn't help but take another look, and then he changed his gaze and looked at Zhou Qilong and said gratefully: "By the way, County Magistrate, today's incident is all thanks to you. If you hadn't arrived in time to help resolve the crisis, I'm afraid something bad would have happened!"

"Since I want to cooperate with you, I must sign a letter of surrender. If I suddenly ask you to cooperate, I'm afraid you will refuse." Zhou Qilong said.

Zhao He nodded and asked: "What happened to the man named Cui Yongmin? Also, what did he want to say in the end? Why is Xia Biao so afraid? He didn't hesitate to shoot him directly."

This is what Zhao He is really confused about.

And he could also see that Xia Biao was very afraid of Cui Yongmin's last words. He even took people away directly for this reason. Otherwise, even if Zhou Qilong came in person, I am afraid he would not give up so easily.

"It seems you have realized the key!"

Zhou Qilong ate a piece of pork ribs and then said slowly: "Cui Yongmin has a younger brother named Cui Yongfeng. This man is a drug addict. He smoked. Not only did he lose all the money in the family, but when he was addicted, he faced His wife and children were beaten and scolded, and his wife and children couldn't bear it, so they finally chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well."

Hearing this, Zhao He and Li Shiqi both darkened their faces, frowned, and their eyes were full of sympathy.

As the saying goes, stay away from gambling and drugs, cherish life, and reject drugs. It starts with you, me and him.

The danger of crows can lead to the loss of a person's wealth and the separation of his wife and children, and can even lead to the destruction of a country.

Even though the Dragon Kingdom is now falling apart and warlords are fighting, opium is still prohibited, sales are prohibited, and smuggling is prohibited. Once discovered, it will be burned and shot.

But even so, in the face of the huge profits in this industry, many people still take risks, and there are even many officials who act as backers and run their own opium business.

In addition, there are many foreign invaders. In order to enslave and occupy the Dragon Kingdom, they chose the method of smuggling and selling large quantities of opium, defeating the Dragon Kingdom mentally and physically, and disintegrating the Dragon Kingdom bit by bit. .

"Cui Yongfeng looked at the corpses of his wife and children and felt regretful. He wanted to commit suicide and be buried with them. But in the end, he did not choose this method. Instead, he chose to secretly investigate the source of the crow and sneak into the enemy. After his investigation, It turned out that all these opium came from the Fang family." Zhou Qilong said.

Upon hearing the word "Fang family", Zhao He stood up suddenly with a look of shock on his face.

He really didn't expect that the Fang family was still running an opium business.
