Meng Shaoyuan was hungry, very hungry.
The kind that is so hungry that your chest touches your belly.
There, I chatted with Zhu Yanni all the time, and when 3 o'clock came, Lu Huiqin finally showed up.
He always looks like he is in his seventies, and his energy still seems to be quite good.
He cupped his hands there and said, "Sorry."
But from the look on his face, he showed no sign of apology.
He asked the butler to change the tea, and then the butler gave Lu Huiqin a bag of dry cigarettes.
Lu Huiqin snorted for a while and coughed several times. The housekeeper immediately brought a spittoon, and Lu Huiqin spit in it.
After finishing this series of things, almost fifteen minutes passed.
Lu Huiqin then said with satisfaction: "Are you two reporters from the Central Daily News?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, my surname is Meng, and this one's surname is Zhu."
This old guy was so troublesome to everyone. Meng Shaoyuan was so hungry that he had already scolded him in his heart.
"'Central Daily News', okay, okay." Lu Huiqin shook his head: "You have a reporter who is an old acquaintance of mine..."
Just when I said this, I heard a woman's voice coming from the door: "Oh, there is chaos outside. Master, I really can't stay in Xuzhou any longer. Japanese planes are buzzing." The old man is flying in the sky, when are we going to Hong Kong? I can’t stay in this place for a day.”
What came in was a woman who looked like she was in her twenties or less than thirty, dressed in a coquettish way.
"Madam." The butler hurriedly stepped forward and took the lady's handbag.
"What's wrong with having guests here?" Lu Huiqin was a little embarrassed: "Ah, this is my wife, I'm rude, I'm rude."
wife?
your wife?
Just married, right?
At such an old age, do you still have the energy to marry such a young wife?
"Madam," the housekeeper said hurriedly, "I have already made arrangements. I will go to Wuhan first, and then take a detour to Hong Kong. I will leave in the next two days."
The lady went in muttering.
Lu Huiqin then returned to the topic: "I wonder why the two reporters came here today?"
Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "Mr. Lu, please inspect Xuzhou and pay a visit in person..."
"Ah, when it comes to this, I am also very frightened." When Lu Huiqin heard this, his face immediately glowed: "I received a call saying that someone was coming to see me. I didn't know who it was at the time... I didn't know that it was a committee meeting that day. Here we are... the committee members still haven't forgotten the old man... I think back then, when Wuchang was the first righteous..."
Just when he said this, he started coughing violently.
The housekeeper hurriedly served hot tea. Lu Huiqin drank the tea and coughed slightly, but he held his stomach and frowned: "Ah, two reporters, please wait a moment. I don't feel very comfortable in my stomach. I will come and go when I go." Come."
The housekeeper hurriedly helped Lu Huiqin and went to the back, thinking that he was out of court.
"Let's go." Meng Shaoyuan quickly stood up.
"Ah? Gone? No more questions?"
"No more questions, no more questions, nothing can be asked here."
…
"Why did you just leave?"
As soon as she walked out of Lu Mansion, Zhu Yanni was a little reluctant: "What haven't you asked yet?"
"What do you want to ask?" Meng Shaoyuan smoked a cigarette: "Lu Huiqin married a young wife at such an old age. I think he is not a gentleman, but he is definitely not a traitor."
"Why?"
"Why?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "As soon as he came out, I noticed that his steps were sloppy and his face was swollen. He had just taken a nap and regained his energy, but he looked like this, and his body and bones were obviously not good. He wanted to show off. , even if the customers are there, they still have to go there in a hurry. Similarly, it is because of physical reasons that they have no physical control.
He had to leave Wuhan despite his condition, and had to take a detour through Wuhan. I was very worried about his safety along the way. "
Zhu Yanni burst out laughing.
"Why did he leave Xuzhou in such a body? Because he had no confidence in whether Xuzhou could be defended. He was also afraid that the Japanese would come in and that he would be poisoned. If he was a traitor, why should he be so frightened?" Meng Shaoyuan He said calmly:
"Also, when he said that the commissioner was visiting, he did not hide his pride at all. 'Who would have thought that the commissioner came that day?' In this sentence, the tone was emphasized twice in succession. It was showing off, especially when Every time he said the word 'appointment', he used special force. If he really wanted to do something evil, why should he be so proud?"
Only then did Zhu Yanni understand.
How did Meng Shaoyuan judge it?
…
Xuzhou Military Police Headquarters.
"That's probably what happened."
I thought there would be difficulties, but I didn't expect that Shi Huaixi, deputy commander of the Xuzhou Military Police, would be particularly impressed.
He told everything he knew.
"Deputy Commander, please sign."
His lieutenant came in again.
The Xuzhou War broke out, and there were too many things going on in Xuzhou City. In just fifteen minutes, the adjutant had already brought several documents for Shi Huaixi to sign.
"The number of thefts and robberies in the city has increased? Do you have to come to the military police for such a small matter? What do the police do for food?" Shi Huaixi frowned and signed.
"There's nothing you can do, the police don't care." The adjutant put the documents into the folder, took them and left.
"Sorry." Shi Huaixi sighed: "My sister-in-law is indeed Japanese, but there were many Japanese wives at that time. You can't say that there is a Japanese daughter-in-law in the family, and even his family is suspected of being a traitor, right? I, Shi Huaixi, am Li Zongren People, but I am also a Chinese, hold my head high and have a clear conscience!"
"Mr. Shi, it's just a routine matter." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I don't want to, but there is an order from the top, and I really have no choice. Chief Shi is busy with official duties, so I won't interrupt."
"Well, I won't send you off."
…
Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni walked outside and glanced somewhere. Then they saw the patrolling military police approaching, stopped one person, and asked, "How long did it take for you to patrol here?"
"Once every three minutes."
"Oh, thank you."
…
Outside the Military Police Headquarters, Meng Shaoyuan stretched his waist and said, "I'm really hungry."
"I heard you say you're hungry. Come on, go get something to eat. I'll treat you."
…
After eating a large bowl of noodles, Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied: "Comfortable, comfortable."
"What's next?"
"Go to sleep."
"sleep?"
"I'm almost exhausted. Find a place and let's sleep."
"Let's... Bah, you gangster... Meng Shaoyuan, what are you doing... Can you save face in public?"
…
Meng Shaoyuan had a good sleep.
It was only at dawn that I woke up contentedly.
Turning around, he found Zhu Yanni looking at him dreamily.
"What are you looking at? Do you find me handsome?"
"Bah, shameless!"
Zhu Yanni cursed and leaned against Meng Shaoyuan again: "Director Dai only gave you so much time. It's already been a day. What should I do?"
"What should I do?" Meng Shaoyuan hugged Zhu Yanni: "You brought two squadrons?"
"Um."
"Help me catch a few people later."
"who?"
"The person who cleans Zhuang Fangdou's office... is also Shi Huaixi's adjutant."
Meng Shaoyuan said this and thought for a moment: "By the way, bring me Lu Huiqin's housekeeper too."
"Catch three?"
"Um!"
"Then I'll go now."
"Don't worry, it's still early, let's hurry up and do something else."
"What to do...Meng Shaoyuan, you shameless rascal!"
