Stage [Republic of China]

Pulling on his shoes, he walked out sleepily, raising his hands and yawning as he walked.When Xu Jishan passed by, he glanced at the corner of his eyes.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't, and don't care about what you shouldn't." Boss Hong said grimly.

"Lord Hong—"

The woman turned her head delicately, and before she could finish her long-drawn-out coquetry, she let out a groan!Boss Hong clapped his hands on the table, and the tea cups jumped up.

The woman shuddered.

"Say one more word, walk out of this door, and you will never have a chance to speak again."

The woman shuddered again and went out in a panic.

Only Boss Hong, Xu Jishan and the driver butler brought by Xu Jishan were left in the compartment of Yingge Pavilion.Boss Hong frowned, and asked in surprise with his cigarette stick in his mouth: "What's the matter, and who do you want to get rid of?"

Xu Jishan bowed slightly, and instead of answering, asked the butler to go over and open the five boxes one by one.The first cage was opened, and there were pearls, round and plump, with a lustrous color.When the second box is opened, it is silver dollars, and when the third box is opened, it is a golden Buddha.

Boss Hong raised his hand, yelled to stop, then turned his head and glanced at Xu Jishan up and down. "Businessman Xu, what you entrusted today is unusual! Who do you want to kill? Let's talk about the ugly things first, and if it's hard, I won't accept it."

"Boss Hong is wise." Xu Jishan patted flattery lightly first, and finally said with a smile, "This man, his status can be considered prominent in the first place, but the current situation is very chaotic, so we just need to quietly..."

Xu Jishan raised his hand, raised his palm with one hand, and rubbed it down, making a gesture.

"For Boss Hong, to make this person silent from now on is nothing more than a piece of cake."

Boss Hong was silent for a while, then he laughed loudly and said, "Don't dig a hole to bury me! If it's really an easy matter, you, Big Merchant Xu, would be able to make such a big investment?"

"Boss Hong, you'd better take a look at the first two boxes." Xu Jishan smiled without answering. As soon as she pouted, the butler opened the two boxes knowingly.

Boss Hong's breathing was suddenly heavy, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

The fourth and fifth cages are all gold bars.

"...Who is worth such a big price?" Boss Hong's eyes were red, he was completely awake, and he gave a sinister laugh with a rough voice. "Businessman Xu, tell me the truth, what you want to kill, don't be..."

Boss Hong said, pointing upwards with one hand. "...Is that the one above?"

"Who's up there?" Xu Jishan smiled nonchalantly. "Now he is not the only one sitting in Jingxi Mansion."

Boss Hong hissed and gasped. "You really want to kill that Master Qin?"

"If it's not him, who else could it be?" Xu Jishan said, lightly dusting off the non-existent dust on his trousers, and said calmly: "Today, he asked someone to shoot and knocked out one ear, and it was the time when the bow and snake were shadows." , the whole city is in chaos, arresting people. At this time, taking advantage of the chaos, no one knows where it is done."

Boss Hong was silent for a while, then laughed hoarsely. "Businessman Xu is very scheming! But it sounds so easy, why does he have to take care of me for such a light and cheap job?"

"Because you are an honest person, Boss Hong." Xu Jishan leaned forward slightly, and gave another light flattery. "Boss Hong, you are messing around in the Tao, and you keep your word, it's this!"

Xu Jishan gave her a thumbs up. "Someone admires it."

He raised his hand and made a fist, and continued to compliment without changing his face: "I wouldn't believe this matter if I entrusted it to others. Only you, Boss Hong, can accept such a business."

Boss Hong was still hesitating, but suddenly Xu Jishan made another stab.

- "People can't eat this piece of fat meat, can't the Green Gang also eat it?"

The Qing Gang and the Hong Gang have always been at odds with each other. Although the two sides reluctantly compromised later, and now jointly govern the Jingxi Mansion with the imperial court Dongyang people, well water does not interfere with river water, but they often rub each other on the street.What Xu Jishan said was neither yin nor yang, Boss Hong was a little annoyed, and stared at her. "Businessman Xu, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting," Xu Jishan said indifferently. "These cages are just a deposit, and when things are done, there will be twice as much."

Xu Jishan pointed out two fingers, and the pros and cons shone brightly under Boss Hong's eyes.

Boss Hong breathed heavily again.

The room fell silent for a while, the breathing of the four men was shallow or deep, and they could even hear each other's heartbeat.

After a long time, Boss Hong finally let out a sinister laugh with a hoarse voice. "Okay, just for the words of the big businessman Xu, our brothers will do it for you!"

"Boss Hong really speaks quickly." Xu Jishan cupped his hands at him with a smile.After a pause, he raised his thick eyebrows. "What date will it be available?"

Boss Hong bit the cigarette again, his eyes narrowed slightly. "The exact date is up to the brothers under me to decide."

"That's natural." Xu Jishan crossed her legs, put her hands on her knees, and added slowly. "But it's best to hurry up. If it's too late, when the gunshot from Mr. Yun's end is fired, I'm afraid this guy will pull up his pants and run away."

Boss Hong's eyes flashed, and then he let go of the cigarette stick, laughing loudly. "It's a deal!"

Xu Jishan also laughed and stood up slowly. "Okay. After the matter is completed, Xu will come to the door to thank you."

"It's easy to talk about." Boss Hong smiled and waved at him.

Xu Jishan walked away amidst Boss Hong's laughter.

◎"Big Baby"◎

That night, Shui Jiu still had a fever.Xu Jishan waited on her for most of the night, and then she didn't bother to go out again, and fell directly on the floor with her hands resting on her head, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Shui Jiu woke up early.Shui Jiu opened her eyes dimly and looked around for a while, then she heard thunderous snoring, she couldn't help being startled, thinking that she was still awake in a dream.He rubbed his eyes, then turned his head to look over, and finally found Xu Jishan who was sleeping soundly in a large font in the corner.

Shui Jiu couldn't help laughing, and went to the ground with bare feet, just took two steps, and immediately swayed.He hastily propped his hands against the wall to gather his composure.When he moved to Xu Jishan's side, Xu Jishan was still asleep.

Shui Jiu was afraid of waking him up, so she didn't make a sound and stood quietly on the side.

Xu Jishan seemed to be asleep in her sleep, her thick eyebrows twitched, and after a while, her frowning eyebrows relaxed again, and she fell into a deep sleep again.Only then did Shui Jiu raise her hand, and gently stroked Xu Jishan's frown with soft fingertips.

After a long time, he sighed faintly. "... Ji Shan."

Suddenly, his soft fingers were grabbed by someone.

Startled, Shui Jiu lowered her eyes, only to see that Xu Jishan had already woken up, and even the snoring just now was probably faking it.

"You..." Shui Jiu hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Jishan turned over and sat up, took Shui Jiu into her arms, and said with a low smile, "If it wasn't for me, Boss Shui would still be in jail now!"

"Are you trying to express your kindness to me?" Shui Jiu raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile.

"Would you like to talk to me?" Xu Jishan continued with a low laugh.The laughter was heavy, as if shaking from the muscles in his chest.

Right now in the bedroom, Xu Jishan was only loosely wrapped in a gray kimono, her chest was wide open.

Shui Jiu was not much better than him, not to mention he was ill last night, Xu Jishan wiped his whole body with alcohol, so even this snow-white bathrobe was loosely unbuttoned.Being pulled and dragged by Xu Jishan like this, the happiness is endless.

Xu Jishan's eyes unconsciously went where they shouldn't go, hoarse, deliberately teasing this person. "Oh, what a pity! If it's in the drama, just because of the kindness of getting you out of the prison, I'm afraid it's not Boss Shui that you will be able to agree with him."

This sentence was deliberately interpreted by him in a weird and ambiguous way, and it also mixed with the half-baked Yue opera with Nanyang accent.

Shui Jiu couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Jishan's voice was deep, her handsome face tensed. "Is this smile able to offset the kindness?"

"Then, what do you want me to do?"

Shui Jiu leaned into Xu Jishan's arms and finished laughing, her pair of clear and phoenix eyes squinted sideways, and there seemed to be infinite affection in her eyes.Lingering, like strands of willow catkins under the sun, you can clearly see it, but you can't catch it.

Xu Jishan felt itchy in her heart, and her voice became hoarse. "After this trip, you and I have experienced the same life and death?"

"Of course." Shui Jiu paused, and then said: "What I said in the car that day was a bit rushed, it was my fault, I apologize to you first."

"No, no, it's my fault. If anything makes you unhappy, it's all my fault." Xu Jishan lowered her head solemnly, let go of her hands, and cupped her hands. "I hope Boss Shui will forgive me!"

His actions are serious, but his words are clearly obscene.

Shui Jiu couldn't help but spit.As soon as I finished spitting, my family couldn't hold back and laughed first.

It was rare for Xu Jishan to be happy seeing this person, so she was also happy in her heart.Even if I haven't slept well for two nights, I still feel very energetic!He salivated and half embraced Shui Jiu, got up and said, "Since you're awake, you should eat something. I'll ask them to prepare some porridge and side dishes."

Xu Jishan suddenly remembered something, and added: "Red oil beans, although you like to eat them, it's better not to eat them when you're sick."

Shui Jiu smiled but did not answer.

The two went out to the lobby for breakfast together.On the way, Xu Jishan picked up Shui Jiu's fingers with his big hand.When touching, he clearly felt Shui Jiu's cold white fingers twitch convulsively in his palm, and then let go.

Xu Jishan wrapped it with her big hands.Shui Jiu no longer struggled.

The two of them walked towards the front hall hand in hand, Shui Jiu seemed to be idle
