Ming's Pawnshop

Eldest young master...Abba said that it's the New Year's Eve, so we can't bother the master to worry about us.Originally, I planned to come to ask you for mercy after this year, but I didn't expect..."

Seeing the tears in Ah Xiang's eyes again, Ming Lou could only suppress the blame and comforted her with kind words.Fortunately, Ah Cheng returned quickly and told them that they had sent people to search for the trace of Ah Xiang's father.

This made Ah Xiang calm down a little, and returned to her home with Minglou and Ah Cheng who insisted on coming together, and served the two young masters with tea in the outside room, and then helped her mother out and waited anxiously for the news.

Not long after, the dilapidated wooden door of Ah Xiang’s house was pushed open by a person who came in. The wooden door bounced back when it hit the wall with such strength, but upon closer inspection, it was not Ah Xiang. Who could dad be?

Seeing that her father returned safely, Ah Xiang wept with joy and threw herself into her father's arms. Her mother was also crying and asked him where he was going tonight. Only Minglou and Ah Cheng noticed that Ah Xiang's father was at this moment. There was no brilliance in his eyes, and he didn't respond to their cries and beatings at all.

I saw Ah Xiang's father standing in the middle of the room, turning his head slowly like a puppet, until he met Minglou's eyes, and the brilliance in those dull eyes instantly shone, and he mercilessly pushed away the cuddle beside him. His wife and daughter rushed directly to Minglou.

"Abba!" "Brother!"

Because the other party was so familiar, he actually grabbed the hem of the unsuspecting Ming Lou. He stared closely at Ming Lou's eyes, and squeezed out a strange voice like broken glass from his throat: "Master! Miss saved Ade's life at the pawnshop! Missy! Young master! Pawnshop! Pawnshop! Pawnshop!"

Hearing this sentence, Minglou couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and even slowed down his struggle a little bit. Ah Cheng, who was about to step forward to help, stopped all of a sudden, but before the two of them figured out what was going on It means that Ah Xiang's father just fell down straight.

Everyone hurriedly sent him to Dr. Su's again. Because of that thoughtless remark, Minglou and Ah Cheng didn't leave, and waited for him to wake up before asking about the situation.

After waiting for a while, the man woke up, but lost his soul. He could only repeat the words "Miss", "Help" and "Pawnshop" foolishly, and couldn't ask any questions. Doctor Su diagnosed him as suffering Too much stimulation, mental disorder, the possibility of recovery in this life is very small.

The two felt disappointed in their hearts, but they were all like this, so they had to give up.

Coincidentally, after a few days, Ade was released, and Ming Lou hadn't done anything yet.After inquiring, I found out that the Japanese military officer who insisted on the death penalty at the beginning had a major incident in his family in China, and all his families were sent to prison. Naturally, he was also implicated, and he was immediately dismissed and escorted back to the country.As soon as his accident happened, the balance turned to the other side, and the prison released him directly for the sake of the Qing Gang.

Feeling that something was wrong, Ming Lou visited Ah Xiang's father several times, but after the communication was fruitless, he could only ask Ah Cheng to investigate all the pawnshops in Shanghai privately. One day not long after, Ah Cheng discovered such a rumor in the market at some point while collecting information.

"There is a mysterious pawn shop in this world, no matter what kind of wish you make, you can get it. There are not only gold and silver jewelry, big house deeds, but also limbs, internal organs, luck, opportunities, happiness, and souls. You can get anything you want if you pay enough."

After finally understanding what the so-called pawnshop in Ah Xiang's father's mouth referred to, Minglou was finally able to convince himself to take Ah Xiang's father's words as the patient's nonsense, but for some reason, he was still thinking about it. This matter, but with the busy official duties and tense situations overwhelming, he quickly hid it in the depths of his dusty memory.

The author has something to say: I finally entered the fourth story~ I decided to give the story a name, and use the seven deadly sins to fool around first~

This chapter is about to start the memory chapter, directly continue the story of the pretender, reveal the reason why Ming Lou and Ah Cheng entered the pawnshop back then, and answer me loudly, are you ready to be abused?

CH17

Minglou was busy until May. With the Japanese side throwing a large number of troops to the Pacific battlefield, the domestic war gradually turned into a stalemate. Several parties paid more attention to the underground battlefield. As a result, after several anti-rape operations, there were very heavy casualties, and all operations had to be suspended.

On this day, Minglou was in his office reading the latest report of the Central Reserve Bank sent by Secretary Chen. He was only halfway through the page, and his brows were tightly frowned. Just as he was about to pick up the phone on the table to call someone in, he heard There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Minglou knew that Ah Cheng was the only one who dared to break into his office without knocking at the door.

Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw Ah Cheng with a serious face walking towards him. He first went to the window and lifted the curtain to look out, and then sat in front of him. Being so cautious, it was obvious that there was an extremely important matter.

"The current battle situation in the third war zone is stalemate, and the director's intention is to 'avoid a decisive battle'?" After hearing the latest news brought by Ah Cheng, Minglou couldn't help but sink his face, "It's getting more and more outrageous. "

"I heard that's what the person above said." Ah Cheng's tone was not much better, but he still remembered the mission he had received, "This order is for us to organize a few more operations here. To contain the Japanese 'Qingxiang Movement'."

"Containment? How to contain it?" Minglou slapped the table angrily, "Wang Jingwei is in charge of this. Do we want us to assassinate Wang Jingwei directly?"

"Brother..." Ah Cheng looked at Minglou, hesitant to speak.

"No," Ming Lou understood Ah Cheng's meaning in an instant, and flatly refused, "Wang Jingwei's visit to Shanghai this time, the news has already been made public, the protection must be very strict, and he is also a character who is not easy to get along with. The meeting will be fooled, and the manpower of the military command Shanghai station alone is not enough to carry out the assassination operation."

But Ah Cheng obviously had a plan in mind, and said, "Brother, he is coming to Shanghai this time to give a public speech. By then, the assassination will not require a lot of people. The city hall is very open, as long as you check in advance. It may not be impossible to find an ambush point."

Minglou listened carefully to Ah Cheng's thoughts, and felt that he might indeed pay too much attention to the rigor of the plan, but sometimes he was not as simple and thorough as Ah Cheng, thinking about the feasibility and various consequences of the plan in his mind. The purpose of the mission is only to contain the 'Qingxiang Movement', not to eradicate rape. It would be best if the assassination is successful, even if it fails, it can also achieve the deterrent effect.

Ah Cheng saw that Ming Lou was thinking hard for a long time and did not respond, he felt anxious, and blurted out: "Brother, if you can't trust others, then I can..."

"What can you do?" Minglou already had a rough plan, and just after he relaxed, his heart sank when he heard Ah Cheng's next words, so he interrupted him directly, "Ah Cheng, why are you becoming like Mingtai now? Reckless? On such an important occasion, I, as the director of the Economic Affairs Department, must be present, and you, as my confidential secretary, cannot be absent. With so many eyes staring at you, how are you going to get away? After the investigation, you How to explain it?"

Ah Cheng didn't expect this, and was at a loss for words: "I..."

"Okay, you send a power request to send other people from above."

"Yes."

But Minglou didn't expect that such a simple plan would lead to things developing to that point.

This is the only day that has not rained in the past few days. The continuous rain has brought a thick tide, and people are unwilling to move like mildew. Today is finally a little sun, so the entrance of the city hall A temporary platform was set up a long time ago, and there were crowds of people below, most of whom were driven by officers and soldiers, waiting boredly for the speech from above.

Seeing that the weather was about to turn cloudy again, Wang Jingwei hurriedly led a group of city government officials onto the stage, and Minglou naturally followed behind with Ah Cheng, chatting with colleagues nearby from time to time.

After everyone sat down behind the table, Zhou Fohai stood up first, walked two steps towards the microphone, and said a few opening remarks in a casual manner, to the effect that Chairman Wang was welcome to come and guide Yunyun. There was sparse applause, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The applause was quite large when the surrounding soldiers raised their guns. Zhou Fohai looked around and smiled with satisfaction. Then Wang Jingwei came to speak in front of the stage.

Wang Jingwei's speech was full of passion, but the people below were drowsy from the sun, and there were not many people listening. Some people applauded halfway through the speech, and more and more people who didn't know why followed suit. When they got up, it was even more enthusiastic than the last time, and suddenly there was a gunshot amidst the strange applause at halftime, and the stage and the audience suddenly became chaotic.

After seeing the gunshot, when Wang Jingwei yelled in panic and ordered the guards to surround him, Minglou knew that the bullet hadn't hit, and the assassination had failed.

Looking at Ah Cheng, Minglou was about to take advantage of the chaos and leave. At this moment, there was another burst of gunfire, this time it seemed to be coming from all directions, and he was immediately pulled by Ah Cheng who reacted quickly and jumped off. table.

The audience was already in chaos at this time, people fled in all directions desperately, and even soldiers with guns in their hands were dispersed by the crowd. It is obviously not a good idea to squeeze in the crowd at this time.
