Cartilage [Republic of China]

"You dare to ask for Japanese money, why are you so short of that money?" Zhu Yanren walked around him, picked up the bowl of rice for him and put it aside: "Did they tell you anything else?"

Yi Jiage looked at him without confidence: "They asked me to go to the Minister of Finance of the China Peace Restoration Association..."

"What did they say?" Zhu Yanren picked up his chopsticks again.

"He said that I have a good image and a great reputation..." He didn't finish, Zhu Yanren cut it off: "He's just complimenting you." Yi Jiage flattened his mouth aggrieved, and continued: "I also said that I am the Minister of Finance. Will give me a commission and $30..."

"If you accept the money, then you agree." Zhu Yanren poked a plate of vegetables covered with milky white salad dressing with sand grains with his chopsticks in a calm voice.

"I didn't agree, I want to run..." He really planned to run incognito, and run cleanly with his Angie.

"Run? Now that the Japanese have entered Shanghai, you ran away in the concession, to the Japanese barracks?" He patted the table, and the bowl of rice was opened again.This time there was a low voice outside, but he didn't knock on the door again, Zhu Yanren glanced at Yi Jiage's leg: "That knife still missed."

"Why, this knife has to be pierced in my heart to be right?" His heart immediately turned cold, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. It pierced into Zhu Yanren's ear, making Zhu Yanren frowned uncomfortably. raised eyebrows.

Zhu Yanren just opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.The door of the Japanese room opened, and Man Qingfang stuck out her head: "Anji..." When she looked away from Zhu Yanren, she seemed to see Yi Jiage: "Mr. Yi..."

Yi Jiage's face changed, and he fixed his eyes on Zhu Yanren: "Don't you invite your girlfriend to come in?"

In front of Man Qingfang, Zhu Yanren didn't want to make a fool of herself, ignored his sarcasm, and stood up: "Didn't you go back? Why are you back?"

"They're going to Changsantangzi, let me go back first." She was a little embarrassed, blushed, but her eyes were full of Zhu Yanren, as if she had completely forgotten Yi Jiage.She was so ashamed that she was not in the eyes of others, but because she was afraid that she would be unbearable in Zhu Yanren's eyes.She sat down on the other side of Zhu Yanren, with her head lowered: "I want to see you so much. I usually don't know how to find you."

Zhu Yanren looked at Yi Jiage with some reluctance, and the latter was also staring at him intently.Zhu Yanren was ruthless.Put your eyeballs on the right path: "Go directly to the Fang Mansion and report my name, and I will come out to find you."

As if she felt relieved, she grabbed the hot teacup in front of Zhu Yanren, held it in front of her, and nodded slightly: "I'm just worried about you, you haven't come to me these days."

Zhu Yanren coughed, but he didn't have much experience, so he didn't cover Man Qingfang's words.Watching Yi Jiage's expression with a guilty conscience.However, Man Qingfang seemed to have misunderstood him, and grabbed his curled knuckles: "What's wrong with you, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Zhu Yanren nodded while covering up, took his hand out of her palm, stretched it out, but found that Man Qingfang had taken the teacup from her hand.Seeing Yi Jiage, he took a sip from the tea cup in front of him and handed it to him.Man Qingfang had already pushed the teacup in his hand to his hand, and carried the side with her lipstick on her back: "I didn't drink it here..."

He turned his hand, hung in the air, glanced at Yi Jiage, took it back and put it on his knee: "It's okay now."

"Oh" she couldn't hide her sadness, she lowered her eyes and wanted to withdraw the cup.Zhu Yanren quickly picked up Man Qingfang's cup and took a sip, then put the cup back in front of her: "It's much better now."

When he looked back at Yi Jiage again, his face was ashen as ice.It's nothing, he thought, just go back and coax him.Yi Jiage is not unreasonable, and he shouldn't be jealous with a woman.

Yi Jiage stood up and wanted to go out.Zhu Yanren was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and pulled him: "What are you doing!"

Man Qingfang also stood up: "Anji, you guys talk. I'll go back first, you remember to come to me again." She looked at their hands holding each other meaningfully: "I have business to talk to you about."

When Man Qingfang's back disappeared at the other end of the corridor, Yi Jiage closed the door again and asked him, "Did you keep looking for her? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why are you arguing with her?" Zhu Yanren blamed him for not understanding himself, and was also anxious: "She is my friend, so I can't have a serious business with her?"

"I'm just wondering, a mistress who is taken care of, and a lieutenant who is idle and has no side, the relationship is completely irreconcilable. They match up like a bastard mung bean family. It's so damn strange, what business can you two have!" He cursed out of breath, and his face turned red after cursing.

Zhu Yanren didn't expect him to swear so badly, so he was stunned, and when he came over, his face flushed.His chest was heaving violently, and his big eyeballs tended to roll upwards, probably about to faint.He slapped him on the face: "Go to your Mogan Mountain and be a dog to the Japanese, don't let me see you!"

"If I take money from the Japanese, I have to be a dog? You have a brain for nothing, and you don't understand big things." He stretched out a finger and gestured at him: "Read all the books you read in the United States." It went into the dog's belly."

After he finished speaking, he limped away, just about to get in the car when he went out.He ran back and threw a wad of money on the maid who received them just now.He was afraid that Zhu Yanren didn't have any money with him, and worried that something embarrassing would happen to him.

After going out, he got into the car and sat in the back seat.The driver in front started the car "thrillingly".He rubbed his chest angrily, and looked at his handsome and dignified face in the rearview mirror.Seeing that the driver in front was about to make a turn, he immediately stopped him: "Where are you going! Turn right and go home!"

After he finished speaking, he remembered that he came by car in the morning.There is no driver in the car.Looking intently, the handsome and upright face in the rearview mirror immediately collapsed. With a breath, he leaned on the back seat and squeezed his sweaty palms: "District Chief? Why are you here?"

"You're a busy person," the district chief swung the car around a bend, "I'm not looking for you, I'm afraid you won't know how to get back."

"I went to sea a while ago, and I went to India." Yi Jiage looked at the man's sideburns with white silk in the rearview mirror: "I bought some medicine and came back."

"Go out to earn your waste paper?" The district chief laughed at him, and he was eager to try to make a theory. The district chief glared at him from the rearview mirror: "Don't tell me when you were young, you were not the same as you are now You're in good spirits! Now it's better..."

"What's wrong with me now?" Yi Jiage straightened his hair, and said in high spirits, "I'm fine now."

"What a fart, you are a money fan!" He drove the car aimlessly: "Fang Jingshan will lead troops to Henan tomorrow, and find a way to kill him before he goes out."

"Tomorrow?" Yi Jiage paused with his hair-cutting hand: "It's so fast, why didn't I hear anything?"

"I said it a long time ago, but I have always been in a state of preparation." The district chief parked the car in front of a tavern: "You can drive away later, I will go back by myself."

"I'll do it on the way he walks," Yi Jiage called to stop him, "Send me some people."

The district chief thought for a while: "Your leg is injured, and you are in charge of commanding. But you can't move anywhere." He turned around from the front seat and looked at him: "Son, don't forget your last name. Money can be earned, but you can't put it away." Sell ​​yourself to the Japanese, do you understand?"

This is not to believe him.Yi Jiage wanted to say something to defend himself, but the district chief had already got off the car and left.He smacked this sentence back and forth twice, seeing that he was obviously hunched, but still trying to straighten his back, the more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt.

Seven years ago, when the district chief was still a gangster of the Youth Gang, he gave him his first gun and asked him if he would like to go this way.He doesn't remember who killed it, but the reward for firing a shot is 50 yuan in cash.It was an astronomical figure for him. From that day on, he regarded the district chief as his own father.

How could he get so much money that he forgot about his "father"?The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.After limping sadly around the car for a while, his limited sadness disappeared, so he drove back home.

From Shanghai to Anhui, a special train should be arranged for Fang Jingshan.He will most likely arrive secretly at the train station early in the morning.

But Fang Jingshan was suspicious at first, and his self-knowledge became stronger after taking refuge in the Japanese, so he will definitely bring enough bodyguards for this trip.How to kill him is the big question.Yi Jiage raised his face dumbly, and stared at Xiao Liang who was sitting opposite him: "Is there anything you can do?"

Xiao Liang's face turned crooked, and he said flatteringly, "I'm good at asking me to kill someone and set him on fire. I can't compare to you in the ability of this shady person."

Yi Jiage suppressed the anger and grievance in his heart, and lowered his head to think of a solution.At the same time, I don't know who to scold: "This bastard..."

He buried himself under the table, writhed, and took out a dilapidated map of the concession.The raised dust made Xiao Liang cough twice.Looking at Shang Yi Jiage's resentful eyes, he immediately covered his mouth and nose, which were not obvious at all.

There are three places circled with red pens on the map. These are the places he found out three years ago, and the land is sparsely populated.But now the Japanese are coming, and refugees are everywhere.Even retreat is difficult.

Looking down on the map bit by bit, he frowned, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Liang: "Do you have any good snipers there?"

"There are snipers, but in the car, the snipers can't let him shoot rounds into people's heads?" Xiao Liang lay down and looked at the place Yi Jiage was pointing at.

"No need to break into the car, so that he can't get in the car. When he shows up, the number of bodyguards in the mansion will be reduced by at least half
