bastard

Zhu Nanjiang lay on He Liren's bed for three whole days, and did not show up again until Luo Zhanyuan called.

Before He Tingyu left, he checked his wound with his hand: "It's fine inside, if you're worried, you can call the doctor."

Zhu Nanjiang lay on his back on a messy quilt, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word between his teeth: "Get lost!"

He Tingyu looked at him condescendingly: "Aren't you going to move out now?"

no respond.

He went to the sofa and picked up the saber, and took a last look at the bed: "In ten days, I will go to Yixing with the army. I will not come here again. You can live here if you want, and you can leave if you want. Will come to you again."

Zhu Nanjiang listened to him without any reaction, just as if he was a corpse that had just died and hadn't cooled down yet.

He did die once, too.

He Tingyu killed him. Although he was unharmed on the outside, his inside was devastated.

When the footsteps left, he gritted his teeth and sat up, picked up the nightgown and pants from under the bed: "Let's go? Why do you want to go? Since you think I'm a waste, then I can also be shameless."

There were bursts of dull pain deep in the abdomen, as if the sticky whip was still in the body.He put on his trousers, and lay back on the bed with his upper body naked. The corners of his eyes were slightly wet from the stimulation of the light.

People never rely on their face to survive in the world. As long as they have money and power, waste can also live a good life.

Early summer of 1925.

At noon, Zhu Nanjiang held a handful of melon seeds and watched a play under the teahouse opposite the arresting house.

A man in a short coat ran over and whispered something into his ear, Zhu Nanjiang patted the melon seeds off his palm expressionlessly: "It's not done yet?"

"That kid is very stubborn, and he doesn't let go of the money."

"Add more money? How much more?"

"Four hundred oceans."

"Four hundred oceans? Damn why don't you just grab it!" Zhu Nanjiang turned his head to gesture to the one-eyed boy behind him, and took out a cigarette from his trousers pocket. butt?"

The man took out the lighter before the one-eyed boy, pressed the flame and handed it to his mouth: "That's what it is... But third master, this Huang Lao Si belongs to Tian Dongbao after all, and Tian Dongbao works for Mr. Yu. This will help us There's no harm in helping!"

"Where is the other person now?"

"Over there on Baoxing Road, there is a commotion!"

"Let him make a fuss first..." When the cigarette was lit, Zhu Nanjiang raised his head and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "I'll go over after this scene is over."

At the beginning of the year before last, Zhu Nanjiang was recommended by Luo Zhanyuan to work as an errand in the patrol house in the French Concession. He changed from a hooligan to a Chinese arrester, and followed the French patrol to collect taxes, levy demolition and relocation.

He had been doing these things a lot when he was still working under Ding You, and now that he changed his clothes, he felt like a fish in water.The Chief of Police saw that he was serious and well-informed, so he was promoted to plainclothes detective in less than half a year.

Luo Zhanyuan gave him face, and he also consciously facilitated him in the board of directors.The former group of "little brothers" still work by his side, but the name has changed from "big brother" to "third master".

Why "Third Master", he didn't know.

Since entering the arresting room, it is no longer a secret that Zhu Nanjiang is the third young master of the He family.People who didn't know the inside story decided to call him the third master, but he didn't stop him, and gradually his colleagues and subordinates started calling him that.

The current situation was turbulent. After Cao Kun was elected president, he directly annexed Fujian, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War broke out.

He Tingyu sent a telegram to challenge Cao, and the Southern Revolutionary Army received a request for help and sent troops to the Northern Expedition.However, the Anhui army retreated steadily in Jiangsu, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was defeated, and He Tingyu fled to Japan.

The He family was down and out, but the third master was always the third master.

After He Tingyu left, Zhu Nanjiang sold the house near Sanli and moved back to He Mansion completely.

The place is big, but it cannot be without the smell of human smoke.So he hired a room full of servants, cooks and handymen, and bought a pug specially for Butler Lin.

Butler Lin is too old to be a butler and has nothing to do. He is showing signs of dementia day by day.Zhu Nanjiang remembered that He Liren's aunts and wives liked cats and dogs in the past, so he asked his staff to buy a puppy to keep him company, and occasionally quarreled to add some excitement to the big three-story house.

In the French Concession, tobacco and soil trading is recognized as the fastest-growing industry, and there are not a few people who make a fortune by stealing tobacco and soil.Some small cigarette dealers were attacked by robbers and had no choice but to ask Zhu Nanjiang for help.

In the early years, Zhu Nanjiang himself did not do much of this, as long as he inquired a little, he would know who was behind the scenes.

Bleeding is inevitable, but it is better to keep the goods if the bleeding occurs than to have the whole car robbed.The money was called the protection fee, and it ended up in the pockets of Zhu Nanjiang and the gang members.The arresting house turned a blind eye to this, and he made a lot of money just by being a "middleman".

When he had money, he didn't do anything else, he kept adding things to the mansion, the living room was brightly lit day and night, and he bought more flowers and plants than he ate every month.

The boss he knew introduced to him that female students were not required, and that he insisted on spending money to support opera actors, and it was well known that sending flowers and jewelry made a fuss.He didn't get annoyed when his brothers teased him about being a nouveau riche, and he slapped out three big silver rings with a slap.In the end, the police chief couldn't see it, saying that this attire would damage the image of the arresting house, so he restrained himself.

Policeman Zhu from the French Concession explored a wide range of ways and recognized money. After his reputation spread, people came to ask him to "handle justice" in various names, and Huang Laosi was one of them.

In June, the French businessman Gabriel and Mr. Yu Shankun, director of the Industrial Council, discussed business at the Huidong Hotel and revealed that the French government intends to develop the cross-border road area.There is a man named Tian Dongbao beside Yu Shankun, besides running the casino for the Yu family, he also does some business himself. When he heard about this, he wanted to buy land near the cross-border road in Huajie to invest before the news was announced.

He said that he asked Huang Laosi to buy land. Huang Laosi was a local ruffian. He even coaxed and frightened most of the residents at the northern end of Baoxing Road. .It is said that the owner is the director of a certain factory, and he has an excellent reputation for being decent, so it was impossible for him to smash, burn, and loot for a while, which made Yu Shankun's reputation worse.

At this time, Huang Laosi thought of Zhu Nanjiang.

Zhu Nanjiang didn't want to take this muddy water at first, because the cross-border road was located between China and the ocean, which was prone to disputes.

That Huang Laosi was probably eager to claim credit in front of Tian Dongbao, so he came to the door several times, and promised to introduce him to Tian Dongbao after everything was done.

It is a good thing to know the people around Yu Shankun.Zhu Nanjiang decided to do favors to help him. Anyway, he was arrested for a crime and locked up for two days. After he was released, it was none of his business.

"Ah Xin." After coming out of the teahouse, he asked worriedly again, "Have you made an agreement with Huang Laosi? I just want to arrest people, I don't want to get involved in the case, so don't fucking kill me!" "

"Third Lord, he knows it well!" Ah Xin already looked as if he couldn't wait to watch the excitement, "Just move your mouth, don't move your hands, and don't do things that will make Third Master come to the stage!"
