The Jade of the Republic of China

"Come on, Xiaomeng, how about a taste of my newly harvested Biluochun?"

Because of a major event for Long Zhenfei, Meng Liansheng was invited to drink tea at the Long Mansion. It is easier to bring the relationship closer.

Meng Liansheng picked up the teacup from Shan Ruliu, took a sip, nodded and said, "Light and elegant, full-bodied, good tea!"

Long Zhenfei said: "It's rare to meet someone who understands tea, Xiao Meng really hits it off with me."

Meng Liansheng said with a smile: "I don't know much about tea, the director praised me absurdly."

Long Zhenfei waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call me Director at home, you are a few years younger than Xiaolong, just call me Uncle Long."

Meng Liansheng said: "Then Xiaomeng is more respectful than obedient, Uncle Long."

Long Zhenfei was very satisfied with his courteous manner, nodded with a smile, and said a few teas blindly: "Xiao Meng, you also know that recently Lin Guangxiang openly opposed me, causing the whole country to crusade against our Zhejiang School, even The foreigners in the concession are also very dissatisfied with Commander Li and me. How do you think I can reverse this situation?"

Meng Liansheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I do have some humble opinions, but I don't know whether I should say them or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Then Uncle Long, I'll just say it straight." Meng Liansheng put down his teacup, "Since ancient times, the people have been able to carry a boat, and they can also overturn it. The current situation of Uncle Long is mainly due to the dissatisfaction of the people, and the root of the dissatisfaction is Because you raised taxes as soon as you came, and the factory owners didn’t want to suffer, so they naturally put this burden on the workers. When the workers went on strike, Uncle Long, you suppressed and killed people, and the public opinion was completely messed up.”

"Of course I understand this truth," Long Zhenfei said, "but Xiao Meng, you don't know that Commander Li is really short of money. As his confidant, I have to do things for him. Jiangsu is still eyeing Shanghai. , may counterattack at any time, we have to get money as soon as possible."

"Of course you need money, but the question is how should you ask for it?"

Long Zhenfei frowned and pondered for a moment: "Tell me what you think."

Meng Liansheng said: "Your tax increase, after one year, is not as good as the half-year profit of a big capitalist like Lin Guangxiang."

Long Zhenfei sighed: "We will have the property of the king of the spinning mill, so we don't have to pay attention to the tax."

"Of course you can, Uncle Long."

Long Zhenfei looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

Meng Liansheng said: "Originally capitalists and workers are opposed, and common people have always hated the rich, but because of your sudden tax increase, Lin Guangxiang has an excuse to join forces with the workers to target you."

Long Zhenfei: "Continue talking."

Meng Liansheng said: "In my opinion, it is better to restore the previous taxation, and even reduce or exempt small factory owners. First, win over the vast number of workers and win the support of public opinion and public opinion. Then focus on big capitalists like Lin Guangxiang. According to the common people's mentality of hating the rich, even if you rob it openly, the common people will only watch the fun."

Long Zhenfei frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! Xiaomeng, you are so humble, it's so clever, why didn't I think of it before? The whole city scolded me, so I'll report it to Li Commander. However, it is definitely not possible to rob clearly. Lin Guangxiang is a stubborn old man, and there are many forces behind him to support him. If I want to forcibly buy shares in the Lin family in the name of the military government, he will never agree."

Meng Liansheng smiled: "Lin Guangxiang is not easy to deal with, but his sons have a very bad relationship and have been fighting openly and secretly. If the old man hadn't suppressed him, the sons would have fought to the death."

Long Zhenfei nodded in understanding, patted him on the shoulder, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "Come and drink tea, I am sure Xiao Meng is right, if Xiaolong can be half as capable as you, I will be satisfied. "

"Father Tiger has no dogs, how can I dare to compare with Young Master Long?"

Long Zhenfei snorted, waved his hands and said, "Just don't hinder me."

Even so, the tone was clearly pampering.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

The two were drinking tea. Long Jialin, who was wearing a uniform, rushed in from outside. He first called out to his father, and when he saw the person on the sofa, he gasped, "Xiao Meng is here too?"

Long Zhenfei waved his hand: "It's just in time for you to come back. I have to go to the police station tonight for something. You invite Xiao Meng to have dinner together."

Meng Liansheng said: "Since Uncle Long has something to do, don't worry about me, I'll take my leave first."

Because Long Jialin knew that Meng Liansheng was working for his father and always heard his father praise him, he consciously regarded Meng Liansheng as one of his own, and quickly took his hand; Feng has invited you to dinner so many times, and today is just right." He continued, "I'll call Xiaofeng to see if he's free?"

Meng Liansheng, who had already stood up to say goodbye, stopped.

Long Zhenfei waved his hand: "Okay, it's a good thing for you young people to get together more."

"That's right." Long Jialin went to the phone and dialed a number. After the Shen's servant answered, he hurriedly asked, "I'm Xiaolong. Is Xiaofeng at home?"

He didn't know what was coming back at the other end, he turned his head and nodded to Meng Liansheng, indicating that Shen Yutong was at home.

Meng Liansheng looked at him and sat down calmly.

Shen Yutong probably answered the call, only to hear Long Jialin ask, "Xiaofeng, are you free? I invite Xiaomeng to Xinghualou for dinner, how about you come together?"

Meng Liansheng pricked up his ears to hear what the other person said, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

When Long Jialin hung up the phone, he rarely lost his composure and asked, "What did the Second Young Master say?"

Long Jialin nodded and said: "He's free, let's go out after I change my clothes."

The restaurant where Meng Liansheng and Long Jialin arrived first.

The spring equinox has arrived, and the nightlife in Shanghai is lively again. Just after seven o'clock, the lights are on, and the bustling feasting and feasting is slowly unfolding.

Looking at the lively night scene outside the window, Meng Liansheng was inexplicably nervous.Just like when Shen Yutong just returned to Shanghai last year, he took the other party back to his small building. Although he looked calm on the surface, he had no idea in his heart, because he was afraid that he would be wrong and that the other party would reject him.

He was sure that there was some problem between himself and Shen Yutong recently, but he didn't know where the problem was, so he was looking forward to and apprehensive about the meeting after more than half a month.

With a creak, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Er led Shen Yutong into the room.Long Jialin hurriedly went up to meet him, and pulled him over enthusiastically.

Meng Liansheng stood up, looked at him with black eyes, and they exchanged glances.

Long Jialin pulled back the chair: "Xiaofeng, I really miss you."

Shen Yutong sat down and said with a smile, "Didn't you just visit me at home a few days ago?"

Long Jialin said: "One day is like three autumns, by the way." He asked again as if remembering something, "Have you recovered from your injury?"

"It's ready."

Long Jialin's hospitality made Meng Liansheng a complete outsider. He sat back in his chair awkwardly, silently poured a cup of tea for Shen Yutong, handed it to him, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, drink some tea."

Shen Yutong thanked him politely, and when he took the teacup, their fingers touched, and he backed away without a trace.

Long Jialin was oblivious to the subtleties between the two of them, and said loudly: "Finally, I took the opportunity to invite you two to dinner. You both have to drink with me tonight."

Shen Yutong said: "OK."

Meng Liansheng glanced at him. When he was serving him tea just now, he clearly felt the other party's alienation from him.

In the past, in front of outsiders, especially Long Jialin, the two of them would pretend not to be close, but it was a deliberate tacit understanding, and it could even be said to be a little interest that belonged to them alone.

But Shen Yutong's indifference towards him today is obviously not a fake.These bad premonitions have come true these days, but he still doesn't know the reason, so he can't help feeling anxious secretly.

He has always been confident in doing things, and this uncontrollable situation makes him very uncomfortable.He could not care about other things, but he couldn't care less about Shen Yutong.

Regardless of the presence of Long Jialin on the table, Meng Liansheng no longer hid his gaze, and stared straight at Shen Yutong, trying to see something from his face, or to get some response.

Fortunately, Long Jialin was thoughtful. Although he noticed that he had been looking at Shen Yutong, he didn't think much about it, and only jokingly said: "Xiao Meng, why have you been staring at the second son? Could it be that we just realized that our second son is good-looking today? "

Seeing that Shen Yutong lowered his eyes, Meng Liansheng did not respond to his gaze, so he had to withdraw his gaze for a while, and said, "Master Long was joking." Then he picked up a chopstick of Shen Yutong's favorite fried chicken and put it in his bowl, "I'm just looking at two Young Master eats very little."

Shen Yutong didn't have much appetite at first, but looking at the extra piece of chicken that fell into the bowl now, he couldn't eat it anymore.

He ordered Long Jialin's meal today, naturally for Meng Liansheng.For the past half month, he wanted to see him but was afraid of seeing him. He wanted to convince himself that maybe the two people who were killed this time, like the previous criminals, deserved their crimes.

After a few years of acquaintance, don't you know what kind of person Meng Liansheng is?

However, once a corner of the high wall of trust is cracked, it will collapse like a broken one.

Seeing Meng Liansheng again now, his face was still the same, and his eyes were still the same, as if all the evils in this world could not be related to him.

He knew very well that the other party was not pretending, because he also looked like this when he chopped off people's hands when killing people.

Shen Yutong felt that if he really had two faces, he would not have to worry about it, but he was just admitting to being deceived.

But obviously this is not the case. Meng Liansheng's cruelty is real, but his pure kindness and compassion should also be true.It's just that when I saw the latter in the past, I thought it was all about him, but now that I saw the other side of him, I realized that my understanding of him was just the tip of the iceberg.

But he didn't want to know too much anymore. There was no difference between killing one time and committing crimes ten times a hundred times.

Brother is right, Meng Liansheng is definitely not a very ordinary person to be able to sit in this position. It is best to stay away from such people.He believed in his own feelings too much before, so he didn't take it seriously, but now he just thinks he is ridiculous.

Different road non-phase plan.

It's time to stay away.

But as long as he thought of this, Shen Yutong felt a dull pain in his heart.He loves this person so much, and after living for 25 years, he has truly loved such a person.

There was nowhere to vent the depression in his heart, so he simply drank one cup after another by drinking with Long Jialin.

He was born fair, and after a few glasses of wine, his cheeks were stained red.

"Second Young Master, don't drink, you are already drunk." When he filled the wine for himself again and picked up the celadon cup to drink it down, Meng Liansheng gently grasped his wrist.

Shen Yutong raised her thin eyelids and finally looked at this person.

Their eyes met, and Meng Liansheng's black eyes were fixed on him, obviously expecting him to say something to him.

Shen Yutong did indeed open his mouth, he curled his lips into a mocking smile, and said softly, "Let go!"

"Second son..."

"I tell you to relax!" Shen Yutong suddenly raised her voice.

Meng Liansheng looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of his hand.

Shen Yutong raised the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, then stood up abruptly, and threw the glass hard on the ground.

There was a clear and loud noise, not only Meng Liansheng, but also the half-drunk Long Jialin woke up a little bit from fright: "Xiao...Xiaofeng..."

Shen Yutong's eyes were red, his canthus were about to burst, and he had a rare insolent appearance.

When he dropped the cup, Meng Liansheng also stood up and looked at him intently.

Shen Yutong dropped a glass, only felt a little bit of happiness in his heart, so he simply grabbed the wine bottle at hand again, and slammed it on the ground.

Long Jialin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he jumped up and threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground forcefully, laughing loudly: "Xiaofeng, I will accompany you!"

So two people, you smashed a bowl, I smashed a plate, in the small private room, there was a non-stop crackling sound.

Meng Liansheng took two steps back and watched the two go crazy without saying a word. To be precise, he was still looking at Shen Yutong.

In the past few years of acquaintance, Shen Yutong has always been a self-restrained and well-educated son of a family.

This is the first time he has seen him lose his composure.

He knew something must have happened to him, and it must have something to do with him.

Because there was too much movement in the room, Xiaoer hurriedly opened the door to check the situation: "Master Long, what... what's wrong?"

Shen Yutong kicked away the rest of the stools and shouted without looking back, "Get out!"

"Get out!" Long Jialin echoed him parrot, and threw the plate in his hand towards the door, scaring Xiao Er to quickly retract his head. Fortunately, he moved quickly and avoided the danger of intimate contact with the plate.

A table of bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates of delicacies were thrown to the ground, and finally even the table was kicked to pieces by Long Jialin. The room was in a mess as if it had been fought.

Shen Yutong vented his anger, stood on the filthy ground, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing him laughing, Long Jialin laughed so hard - he just thought it was amused.

Only Meng Liansheng, who was standing by the wall, remained silent.

Shen Yutong never looked at him, and waved to Long Jialin, "Xiaolong, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Long Jialin stepped over the remnants on the ground, grabbed his shoulders, but did not forget to wave to Meng Liansheng who was beside him, "Xiao Meng, let's go!"

Looking at the dirty and messy ground, Meng Liansheng responded in a low voice, and only slowly followed after the two opened the door to go out.

The shopkeeper and the waiter were waiting at the door in fear, because they knew the identity of the person inside, no one dared to come in and stop him. As soon as the door opened and saw the chaos in the room, the shopkeeper immediately complained, but he still had to bite the bullet and say: : "Second Young Master Long, go slowly!"

Long Jialin waved his hand.

On the other hand, although Shen Yutong looked drunk and staggered on his feet, he seemed to be a little closer to a mess. He didn't forget to take out a silver dollar bill from his pocket and hand it to the shopkeeper: "I'll pay you!"

When the shopkeeper looked at the amount on the silver dollar bill, his face that looked like a concubine was suddenly relieved, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

Shen Yutong walked crookedly to the stairs, glanced behind him out of the corner of her eye, but saw Meng Liansheng still parked at the door of the private room, talking in a low voice to the waiter who was the shopkeeper.

He was probably making amends for himself and Long Jialin.

He hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, it's no wonder he didn't have eyes before, it's just that this person is too deceptive.

When Meng Liansheng went downstairs, the two drunk people had already been helped into the car by the driver. He originally wanted to go up and say a few words, but when he saw Shen Yutong sitting in the back seat, leaning on the back of the seat with his eyes tightly closed, he finally decided not to. give up.Standing only a few meters away, silently watching the black car go away.

The salt merchant is used to eating and drinking. Under the influence of his father and brother since childhood, Shen Yutong actually has a very good capacity for alcohol. Just now, he just pretended to be crazy by drinking.After that venting, the depression and discomfort of the past half month finally eased a little, and I was only a little bit drunk.

He rubbed his forehead, and after the car got on the road, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and looked back through the windshield.

Meng Lian, who was still standing there, was shrouded in neon lights on the street.The people around him came and went, making his slender figure look a bit lonely.

Shen Yutong remembered the day he left Xikang, and he also watched him leave with such nostalgia.

But that day was actually the beginning of their relationship.

But today, it is the end.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around and no longer looked at him.

Back in Shen's garden, the housekeeper saw that the second young master was smelling of alcohol, so he hurriedly asked the servant to cook a hangover soup and bring it up.After drinking soup and taking a bath, Shen Yutong collapsed on his big bed as if unloading his strength.

"Second Young Master, there is a call!" After lying in a daze for an unknown amount of time, a maid knocked on the door.

Shen Yutong opened his eyes: "Who is it?"

The maid replied: "Mr. Meng, are you sober?"

Shen Yutong closed her eyes again: "Just say I'm not awake yet."

"clear."

Listening to the footsteps outside, Shen Yutong turned over, wrapped her body tightly with the quilt, and really fell asleep this time.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Shen family's garden was so silent that only the chirping of insects was left outside the house.

Tonight is the day of the full moon, the silver light came in from the window and fell on the face of the unconscious man on the bed.A figure who didn't know when was standing by the bed, stared at the handsome face on the bed for a long time, then slowly knelt down on the ground, stretched out his hand and covered it slowly.

When his fingertips touched the warm skin, Meng Liansheng's breathing almost immediately became rapid.

He hadn't touched this body for more than half a month. At first, he just missed it, but seeing Shen Yutong's attitude towards him in the evening, he couldn't help feeling restless, and this anxiety turned into a crime when he saw someone at this moment. Addictive desires.

This desire was like a demon, screaming wildly in his heart and body, urging him to occupy the person in front of him fiercely, as if this was the only way to dispel the uneasiness that lasted all night.

Not only did he think so, but he did so.

He leaned down and kissed Shen Yutong's lips.

Shen Yutong originally thought he was dreaming, and in the dream he was entangled with Meng Liansheng endlessly.

In reality, Meng Liansheng was too dangerous, he had to stay away, but it's okay to indulge in a dream.

He even instinctively reached out and hugged the other party's neck.

It's just that this dream was so real, he finally woke up suddenly when the other party put his hand into his belly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a dark figure above him, which scared him almost out of his wits, and subconsciously threw him away forcefully.

Meng Liansheng was indulging in the charm just now, so he might as well be thrown from under the bed and fell to the ground.Fortunately, the room was covered with thick carpets, so there was not much noise.

Shen Yutong frantically turned on the desk lamp. Not surprisingly, the person on the ground was indeed Meng Liansheng.But it still made him startled, panting and asked: "How did you get in?"

Meng Liansheng got up from the ground and pointed to the window.

Shen Yutong rubbed his forehead, took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and then asked, "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?"

Meng Liansheng said: "Second Young Master, what's the matter with you today? Why are you ignoring me?"

Shen Yutong closed her eyes and said, "Originally, I was going to send you a letter tomorrow, but since you're here, I'll tell you face to face."

Meng Liansheng frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Shen Yutong avoided his gaze, and said softly, "Xiao Meng, don't look for me anymore, let's go here."

Meng Liansheng was puzzled, "Second Young Master, what do you mean by that? Why can't I understand?"

Shen Yutong smiled, looked up at him, and said word by word: "Don't you really understand? I mean, my relationship with you is over."

Meng Liansheng took a step forward, knelt down by the bed, and looked up at him: "Why? Did I do something wrong? Second Young Master, if you tell me, I will definitely correct it."

Shen Yutong shook his head and sighed: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. It was me who was wrong. I didn't recognize you before. We have different ways and do not conspire with each other. From now on, you follow your sunny path, and I will live my life. single-plank bridge."

Meng Liansheng frowned and stared at him, before speaking again after a while: "Does Second Young Master not want me to help Long Zhenfei?"

Shen Yutong was noncommittal.

Meng Liansheng said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion and know what to do and what not to do."

Shen Yutong sneered: "What you should do is to represent those two workers to Shen Jiang?"

Meng Liansheng was slightly taken aback, he was always cautious in doing things, and Long Zhenfei would not tell Long Jialin about this, so he couldn't imagine how Shen Yutong knew about it.

But he was just stunned for a while, and didn't panic, because he didn't think it was a big deal, he tilted his head and asked in puzzlement: "Is it because of this matter that Second Young Master wants to separate from me?"

The expression on his face seemed to be that he felt that the reason was very unbelievable.

Shen Yutong was about to be laughed out of anger, as expected he hadn't understood him before: "Do you think this is a trivial matter?"

Meng Liansheng said: "I killed those two people for Long Zhenfei. But if they were really on the side of the workers, I would definitely not do it. I gave them a chance, gave them a sum of money, and let them choose whether to go away or fly away. Stay and continue fighting? They chose to leave with money. You see, they are all people who take advantage of the poor and gain fame. I am right to kill them. Those who died in the parade are the real heroes."

Shen Yutong was at a loss for words for a moment, but she didn't know what to say.

He suddenly remembered that when he was reading a book with him in the past, the other party seemed to have a set of fallacies with self-contained logic, and now this set of fallacies was used by him in murder and arson.

He originally wanted to refute, but found it meaningless, so he just shook his head helplessly.

Meng Liansheng held his hand: "Second Young Master, I know you don't like these things, so I never talk about them with you, and I won't let you see them in the future."

Shen Yutong pulled out her hand and looked at him with a sad face: "Xiao Meng, you are too scary!"

Meng Liansheng seriously defended himself: "Second Young Master, I'm not afraid, I will never hurt you in the slightest."

Shen Yutong shook her head: "You go, I really don't want to see you again."

Meng Liansheng looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Second Young Master, I'm really not scary."

Shen Yutong closed her eyes: "You go!"

Meng Liansheng left after all, climbing in and out through the window, no one knew that a person had crept into the garden of the Shen family in the middle of the night.

The author has something to say:

Next I speed up the update.
