The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

After the coffin stopped overnight, the coffin with Bai Po hanging on it slowly entered Hankou City amidst the sound of mournful drum music.

The people who got the news spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to watch the hero return. There were gray-haired old people sighing, some newsboys carrying cloth bags wiping their tears, and some young students looked more determinedly.

Wen Rui and Xie Yan went out to pick up the spirit in person, but they didn't hold Wen Heng's tablet in their hands. The sharp-eyed people noticed something unusual, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe the second young master walked outside. Mr. Yin Yang has something to say." I can only speculate like this.

The team to pick up the spirits was huge, and almost all Wen's men were mobilized. From the outside of Hankou all the way to Wen's compound, every few steps there were men wearing white sweaters to maintain order.

When the slow hearse passed by, the guys lifted the cloth on the bamboo baskets at their feet, and distributed the still steaming steamed buns to the surrounding people.

"Mr. Xiao Xie said that he was accumulating blessings for the second young master. Instead of wasting extravagantly at the banquet, it is better to let more people have enough to eat."

The snow-white steamed buns are about the size of a strong man's fist, and taste a bit bland to those from a good family, but to the poor, they are a rare delicacy.Xie Yan didn't prepare anything else, so as to ensure that the steamed buns were distributed to those who couldn't eat enough.

On the outskirts of the city, the steamed buns are released very quickly. The old and young women and children line up and leave after getting the steamed buns and saying a basketful of blessings from God. A passing rickshaw driver.

"Dude, can I have a steamed bun?" An old voice sounded.

The guy in charge of distributing steamed buns near Furong Street raised his head, but didn't react for a while.

"Mr. Wen? You are?"

The man has worked in Wen's family for many years, and there are famous people in Hankou City, all of whom are well-known.Mr. Wen Lao can be called the No.1 Confucian in the Huguang area, full of peaches and plums, and has a high reputation. He is a guest of the Wen family, so the guy naturally recognizes him.

Although the waiter didn't understand why Mr. Wen came to pick up the steamed buns, he didn't dare to neglect, picked out a hot steamed bun and handed it to him with both hands.

"You eat slowly, you may be a little choked."

"It's okay, the old guy's teeth can still bite." Mr. Wen looked at the hearse that hadn't gone far. How long can an old guy like him last?

Mr. Wen broke the steamed bun in half and gave it to the newspaper boy next to him who seemed not full, and bought another newspaper from him.Now in Hankou, the most popular newspaper is undoubtedly Minsheng, which is sponsored by the presenter. The order volume is increasing sharply every day. One printing factory can no longer meet the demand, so we can only entrust two new printing factories.

The newsboy's bag was full of People's Voice newspapers. Mr. Wen took the top copy and opened it to read.

The Presenter Theater's special storytelling event is over, but the free-talking ethos it created remains.In recent days, Minsheng Daily is still publishing the views of people with different identities on some issues in the storytelling activities, and the contributions are like snowflakes, flooding the editorial department.

Mr. Wen nodded after reading a short commentary written by the presenter on the front page of the newspaper. From the beginning of Hankou Romance, he realized that there was a gap in this young man's chest, and he did not misunderstand the person.

This son, like his uncle Xiang Yan Lin, is a talent for saving the world. Thinking of the rumors he heard in the academic world these days, Mr. Wen fixed his eyes, and wanted to start attacking the present from the academic world, and it depends on whether he agrees .

"Dude, has little friend Xie Yan been at Wen's house these days?"

This is not a secret, the man replied directly, "Yes, Mr. Xie hasn't been out much since Madam fell ill, and has been helping in the compound."

"Tell Xie Xiaoyou for me, and invite him to come to my house after the work at hand is done."

……

In Hankou City early this morning, the Wen family was undoubtedly the focus of sight. The hearse that was moving slowly along the way attracted most of the bright eyes, but the undercurrent surging behind it also did not stop.

"Has there been any news from Li Tianchen?"

"There is news that Wen Jiulou and Yan Shuangxia are both in the Wen family compound, and the people sent out are also watching Wen Rui and Xie Yan."

"Where are the Wen family's reused dock stewards?"

"Two are helping out in the Wen family compound, two are escorting the hearse, and three are staying at the pier. Those who seek refuge with us have tried their best to stay at the pier."

"Mr. Tanaka, our plan will succeed soon!"

"No, wait." Kaoru Tanaka raised his hand, things are not that simple.

"The Wen family and Xie Yan are both cunning people. We have already suffered a lot. After the previous temptations, it is impossible for them not to think that we might attack Hankou Wharf. Something is wrong, very wrong."

"But Mr. Tanaka, this is our last chance!"

"When the hearse arrives at Wen's house, it will be too late!"

"The Sichuan incident caused the empire to suffer heavy losses on the Yangtze River shipping, but the Wen family opened up the shipping route. Given time, let them calm down, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with!"

Kaoru Tanaka stroked Fang Fang's beard, his face was cloudy and uncertain, "...to explore the situation of the dock again."

The sun has risen, and the sunlight is cast on the map of East Asia hanging on the wall of the consulate, dividing the map into two realms of light and darkness, while the empire just stops at the border and is shrouded in darkness.

"Report! Consul, several of our spies risked their lives to investigate, and finally found something tricky. Fang Qingming secretly ambushed a small army at the pier!"

"Boom!" Kaoru Tanaka slammed his fist on the table, but his heart began to ecstasy.

"So that's it, so this is their backer!" Kaoru Tanaka narrowed his eyes, but it's a pity that he is still superior.

Kaoru Tanaka looked at the map on the side. A small country with few people is the eternal pain of the Great Japanese Empire. If this vast land also belongs to the empire, the British and the French will also have to beg for mercy from them.You can't sit still, so let's gamble on the luck of the country!

Kaoru Tanaka draws the katana from the holder and swings it like a samurai, imagining that he is beheading his enemy.

"Notify the staff everywhere, act according to the plan!"

"Hi!"

……

Today's Hankou City is destined to not be peaceful.

When the people who didn't know were still immersed in the grief of Wen Heng's death, the gunfire first rang out from the Wen family compound.

"Bang!" A sudden gunshot exploded in the hall full of guests. The bullet grazed Mrs. Wen's face sitting on the sofa, and was deeply embedded in the wall.

"Li Tianchen! What are you doing!" After a short pause, Wen Jiulou heartily kicked Li Tianchen who came to attend the funeral on behalf of the Li family.

"I, I'm not, I—" Li Tianchen fell to the ground, gasping for breath from the severe pain in his chest. Although he didn't seem to understand what happened, the gun in his hand was undeniable.

"Crack!" There was another kick, and there was a crisp fracture sound, and Li Tianchen's hand holding the gun was completely useless.

Wen Jiulou picked up the gun and smiled, "So the Li family is so bold, dare to come to my Wen's house to commit murder?"

"I, I..." Li Tianchen covered his twitching hands, his face flushed with anxiety.

At this time, the guests in the hall finally reacted.

"My God, someone shot at such a close distance just now!"

"Is Li Tianchen crazy? Even if something happens to the Wen family, it's still more than enough to crush a Li family to death."

"After Li Tianwei disappeared, the Li family lost its backbone, and the few remaining brothers fought back and forth. I thought Li Tianchen was a little smarter, but I didn't expect it."

"What enmity between him and the Wen family?"

"Who knows?"

"Scared me to death, no, I have to go home and avoid it."

……

The guests fell into a panic, and those who were near the door began to walk out. A man dressed as a servant followed behind a guest, and walked out of the hall together inconspicuously.

Behind him, the pale Mrs. Wen quietly made a gesture, Xi Lian understood and backed away silently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, there were three more gunshots in the courtyard, and the guests who had planned to leave ran back again. Some female relatives had already begun to cry softly, and Wen Jiulou frowned and strode towards the door.

"what happened?"

"My lord! Someone shot secretly at the brothers standing guard at the door!"

Wen Jiulou pulled out his gun, "Arrange people immediately, guard the gate, and search in shifts! No one is allowed to let go until they are found out!"

"Boss Wen, what shall we do?"

"Master Wen, our two families have always been on good terms. I am definitely not someone with ulterior motives. Please don't ignore us!"

"Master Wen, is this outside... your enemy? I don't think it's convenient today, and the sacrificial ceremony has been delivered. Why don't you take us back first?"

……

Wen Jiulou glanced coldly at the anxious guests, and waited until the voice had almost stopped before speaking, "It's not safe inside the Wen family's mansion, and there may be an ambush outside the mansion. Foreigners, are you sure you want to go out? Say it first, the Wen family doesn't have anyone to escort everyone one by one."

"..."

Under Wen Jiulou's watchful eyes, the panicked guests calmed down and gave up.

"In that case, let's stay here with Mrs. Wen first."

It is impossible for Wen Jiulou not to send someone to protect Mrs. Wen. After judging the situation, the place where he is currently staying is the safest.

"Okay, I'll go and see the situation, everyone, don't be impatient."

"Wait." Mrs. Wen, who had been silent all this time, stopped Wen Jiulou, "cough, cough, send someone to see how Heng'er is doing."

Wen's mansion was attacked, and the hearse team may not be peaceful.

"Okay, I'll send someone there."

……

After Wen Jiulou left, Mrs. Wen was still sitting on the sofa with her handkerchief covered. Although An Yujing knew some truths, she was still worried about Mrs. Wen's situation, so she squeezed over under her aunt's scorching gaze.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen directly took her hand and asked her to sit beside her. An Yujing had no choice but to sit down with great pressure.Most of the guests present had heard rumors that this young lady was probably the daughter-in-law Mrs. Wen wanted, so no one specifically asked anything.

After a while, Mrs. Wen felt that something was wrong.

——Why are all the female relatives in the hall pushing towards her?And there was no usual flattery or calculation on his face, it was all a weird sense of security.

Mrs. Wen gave An Yujing a questioning look, and An Yujing responded with a helpless expression.

Maybe...they think Madam is amazing, right?

Am I not pretending to be sick?

An Yujing glanced at the whip on Mrs. Wen's waist, trying to make her recognize herself.Even though she had white powder on her face and skipped two meals to look good, Mrs. Wen still ranked No. 1 in women's combat power in the hearts of women in Hankou, and she had no rivals!

……

Wen Jiulou quickly gathered the guys who stayed in the mansion, but before he organized people to check the pier and the hearse, several guys ran over panting.

"Master, it's bad! Someone robbed the second young master's hearse! Mr. Xie was injured!"

"what?!"

The guy didn't dare to catch his breath, "We had just walked through Furong Street, when suddenly a group of men in black rushed out with a bomb and rushed towards the hearse. All the brothers paid no attention and said, Mr. Xie blocked it, and his arm was stabbed hurt!"

"Where is the person? Have you sent it back?!"

The buddy shook his head with red eyes, "There are too many brutes, not only did he not want to kill himself, but when he saw that we were leaving, he went to kill the people nearby. Mr. Xie and the others were all dragged back, so let me come back for help."

"Master, you—"

"There was also an accident in the mansion just now, someone shot and wounded someone."

"This, what to do with this..."

"Master, or from the pier—"

"No." Wen Jiulou directly vetoed it, "Rui'er has an escorting army sent by the patrol, and it will be fine after dragging the guys along the way to integrate."

Wen Jiulou took a few steps back and forth, "Go to the pier and bring a few people back. If things are out of control, first bring Rui'er and Ayan back safely."

"Yes!"

……

After Wen Jiulou gave the order, he once again ordered the staff to guard the gate, and turned around to inspect the next place.In a blind corner not far from the gate, an ordinary man squinted his eyes, confirmed that the plan was going well, and was about to turn around and leave when a pair of red embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in his sight.

The boy froze for a moment, then lost consciousness for a second.

……

Wen's mansion and the hearse team were in danger one after another, Wen Jiulou was overwhelmed by himself, and the Wen family's main force and Fang Qingming's reinforcements were concentrated on the hearse team.

Kaoru Tanaka realized that he had made the right bet this time, and his hand holding the samurai sword trembled slightly.

Speaking of which, I also want to thank Xie Yan and Wen Rui for escorting the hearse together. No one will doubt whether their intention to kill these two people is true, and neither the Wen family nor Fang Qingming can afford the two people after Wen Heng. Also the loss of death.

God help the empire!

Kaoru Tanaka showed a smile that he thought was quite heroic, "Convey the order to Yamashita-kun, and you can do it."

So what if Fang Qingming secretly kept the army?The power they quietly transferred from Shanghai was enough to contend with a small army for a period of time, and during this time, it was enough to take advantage of the civil strife caused by the steward's rebellion and burn all the Chinese merchant ships docked at Hankou Wharf in one fell swoop!

"Wait." Kaoru Tanaka said again, "Don't forget to accidentally burn a few British ships, you must be careless, understand?"

Kaoru Tanaka opened a pot of sake, wiped the samurai sword in his hand lovingly, and began to wait for the sound of victory.

After waiting, the sun is shining, but the expected news has not arrived for a long time.

Kaoru Tanaka couldn't sit still anymore, got up and pushed open the door, the spies covered in blood finally sent a piece of information, for Kaoru Tanaka, it was really bad news.

The actions of the hearse and the Wen family's mansion really slowed down the speed of the Wen family's response to reinforcements, and the steward who had been bought with beauties and money also defected as promised.

However, when the people sent by Kaoru Tanaka rushed into the pier, none of the planned chaos occurred. The guys and workers on the pier were all in full battle, and the rebels were tied up and kneeled in the open space.

Behind the clearing stood a man whom they would not believe to their death.
