Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 74

Roushikou

Fujude

It was almost lunch time, but there were no guests in the lobby.

Tang Deyuan, the old shopkeeper of Fujude, his eldest son Tang Maochang, and a group of shop assistants gathered in the lobby.

At this time, Tang Deyuan looked at Prince Xi of the second cabinet, and said with a gloomy expression, "Zixi, is Lu Mengshi trustworthy?"

Wang Zixi nodded: "Old shopkeeper, Meng Shi and I are fellow villagers. I still understand his behavior, and he is a trustworthy person."

However, Tang Deyuan was still uncertain: "But Lu Mengshi is just a livable second cabinet. How could he befriend someone who can get his second child out of prison?"

The prince was at a loss for words, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Meng Shi is quite good at building relationships and making contacts."

"And don't forget, the livable owner is the head of the Baoha Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who serves the emperor in the palace."

"I think he may have met some big shots through this relationship."

At this time, Marshal Zhang Xun had not yet entered the city to carry out restoration, the former Qing emperor was still living in his palace enjoying the glory and wealth, and the House of Internal Affairs, which was dedicated to serving the emperor, had not been abolished.

The livable owner, the Rui family, works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They live a very good life by taking some cultural relics and treasures from the palace and eating kickbacks.

Hearing this, Tang Deyuan still had some doubts: "Then you said that this Lu Mengshi is trying to trick us, Fujude, under the pretense of saving the second young master?"

Wang Zixi thought for a while: "Probably, no way, Meng Shi is not like that kind of person."

At this time, the eldest young master Tang Maochang, who was shaking his head and singing silently, said, "Father, if you want me to say that you don't need to look for Lu Mengshi, if you want me to say, you let me go out and I will go find the theater." Boss Yang, Boss Yu and others."

"These few are famous actors who are popular in the capital. They go to the concerts of those big families all day long. They must know a lot of officials."

"When the time comes, as long as I..."

Tang Maochang became more and more excited as he talked, but Tang Deyuan poured cold water on him: "Shut up!"

"So what if it's popular in the capital, isn't it still a bunch of actors!"

"Those officials will sell their face?"

"Can you think more about serious business matters in your mind, and tinker with those dirty things every day."

Tang Maochang was very afraid of his father, so when he was scolded like this, he shrank aside and stayed obediently.

At this moment, Tang Deyuan seemed to have made up his mind: "Zixi, go and ask Lu Mengshi how much money is needed to save the second child."

Wang Zixi hurriedly said: "Old shopkeeper, I really asked about this matter."

"The other party wants this number!"

As he said that, Wang Zixi stretched out his thumb and index finger, making a comparison of eight.

"Eight hundred oceans?"

"Eight thousand!"

"what?"

"Why so much!"

Tang Deyuan's expression changed!

Wang Zixi quickly explained: "I also asked Meng Shi, and I heard from him that the second young master was recognized by the police station as a member of the Four Seas Gang because he was too close to members of the Four Seas Gang on weekdays."

"Nowadays, the police station has changed the chief and deputy chief. Destroying the Four Seas Gang was the first achievement of these two chiefs when they took office. Therefore, the two chiefs are very close to the Four Seas Gang."

"Furthermore, according to Meng Shi, Deputy Director Lin in the police station once said in private that for members of the Four Seas Gang, they can be killed or not, and they must be killed! Those who can be closed or not, must be closed, and everything will be dealt with strictly."

"So, if you want to save the second young master, you have to spend a lot of money!"

After Tang Deyuan heard this, he was like a discouraged ball, and he lamented after a long time: "How did I raise such two useless trash!"

Since the second young master Tang Maosheng was arrested and imprisoned, Tang Deyuan has regained the power of Fujude. This investigation does not matter. During the two years when he was recovering from illness, Fujude almost broke the eldest and second young masters.

The books are beyond the means, and there are still a lot of external accounts owed. The guys have not been paid for two months, and the working capital of the entire store does not exceed 300 yuan.

To put it bluntly, the current Fujude is just a donkey dung, shiny on the outside, but rotten and stench on the inside.

Eight thousand oceans, if it was the best time for Fujude's business, it would not be difficult to take out this money.

But now, Tang Deyuan can't get it out at all!

Tang Deyuan really wanted to give up this uneasy second son and let him die in prison.

But when it comes to this matter, how can Tang Deyuan be willing.

After a long time, Tang Deyuan sighed heavily, and then hammered the table hard: "Sell the shop, exchange money!"

"No matter what, the second child must be rescued from the prison!"

"Zixi, go and contact the buyer!"

"The base price is 8000, and even a penny less!"

After all, Tang Deyuan's face was ashen, then he stood up vigorously and walked slowly towards the back of the store.

The eldest son, Tang Maochang, got up quickly and wanted to help his father, but he was beaten aside by his father.

Wang Zixi couldn't help but sighed, and walked out of the shop with a depressed expression. He was going to find a suitable buyer.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fujude is just an empty shelf now, and who is willing to spend 8000 oceans to buy it?

Thinking of this, Wang Zixi couldn't help feeling worried.

At this time, Wang Zixi saw the signboard suitable for living, and suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Meng Shi knows a lot of people, he will definitely help me find a buyer!"

"Yes, I will go to him to discuss this matter, he must have an idea!"

When Lu Mengshi heard Wang Zixi tell himself that Tang Deyuan was going to sell Fujude, he almost laughed out of excitement, but he restrained himself so as not to reveal his secret.

Not only that, but he also put on a regrettable look: "Oh, this Fujude is also an old store that has been passed down for three generations, and I didn't expect to embark on the road of selling a store."

"Oh, the world is really unpredictable!"

Wang Zixi looked even more sad: "Meng Shi, if Fujude is really bought by someone else, if they want to use Fujude's store to do other business, we will all have to leave the shop and drink Northwest It's windy."

"Meng Shi, can you find a suitable buyer for me? It's best that after taking over Fujude, I'll still be working as a farmer, so that we can still have something to eat."

Lu Mengshi pretended to be embarrassed: "Oh, this is not easy to handle, let me ask you."

"Also, isn't the eight thousand oceans a little too much?"

Wang Zixi also scratched his head, and begged, "It's a bit too much, but the old shopkeeper has spoken, and you can't lose even a penny, so you should bother and help me!"

Lu Mengshi secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he put on a determined look on his face: "Okay, since you trust me so much, leave this matter to me, and I will help you find a suitable buyer!"

"that would be great!"

"Meng Shi, thank you first!" Wang Zixi said gratefully.
