"Who's looking for me?"
Meng Shaoyuan yawned and stretched.
"I don't know, so I just said my name is Sun Qingsheng and I want to see him if I need something."
Sun Qingsheng?
I do not know.
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Bring him in."
The man who came in was a man in his forties. From his appearance, he looked like a man from the world.
Holding a fist: "Excuse me, are you Boss Meng?"
"it's me."
"I've met Boss Meng." Sun Qingsheng said politely: "I am the disciple of the old master Jinghu."
Mr. Jinghu?
Zhang Inkyu?
Doesn’t this just let his people go?
Meng Shaoyuan was also very polite: "It turns out that he is a disciple of the old lady Jinghu. I'm disrespectful."
He still respects Zhang Renkui quite a lot.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his old man staged the last stage of his legend in Shanghai.
In order to attack Zhang Renkui's unyielding will and force him to stop contributing to the war of resistance, the Japanese invader Yano Yao sent someone to send a letter of challenge to Fan Yuan.
Zhang Renkui, who was nearly eighty years old, was so arrogant about destroying the Japanese invaders that he raised the scythe that had been with him in his lifelong war for the last time.
Under Yano's murderous provocation, the old man remained calm and moved like a thunderbolt, hitting Yano's wrist acupuncture points with the handle of the knife repeatedly, forcing the opponent to abandon the knife in just two rounds.
After Yano's defeat, he still persisted in his evil intentions. After that, he repeatedly threatened and lured Zhang Renkui and promised him an official position. However, the old man was unmoved and every time he shouted at the Japanese invaders with harsh words and harsh words.
"Old Mrs. Jinghu has admired Boss Meng's reputation for a long time. Every time he wanted to meet him, he never got the chance. He sent me here today. Mr. Jinghu wanted to find some time to prepare some wine and entertain Boss Meng. I wonder when Boss Meng will be free?"
Having said this, Sun Qingsheng hurriedly added: "If Boss Meng is busy with official duties and cannot get away, the old man will pay a visit in person."
Presumably, it was to express his gratitude to himself for freeing his disciples before, right?
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment and looked at the time: "Let's do it now."
"Now?"
Sun Qingshan was startled.
It's already past 10 noon.
Then he hurriedly said: "That's very good. I'll go back to the old man and make some preparations."
"what to prepare?"
Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile and took out two packages of things from the drawer: "Let's go, let's go, there is no need to disturb his old man, let's go together now."
"this……"
Sun Qingsheng looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "If the old man blames you, just say that I forced you to do this."
…
After Zhang Renkui retired from the military, he has been living in "Fan Garden" in Shanghai.
Just at the gate of Fanyuan alone, there were eight disciples standing there. Each one is dressed in a bunt, with his clothes open and a wide belt around his waist, with a dagger stuck on one side and a revolver stuck on the other.
What Zhang Renkui was guarding against was not just Jianghu people, but Japanese people.
"Brother Sun is back."
As soon as he saw Sun Qingshan, the leader immediately came up and said respectfully.
Sun Qingshan pulled him over and whispered a few words.
The man's expression changed, and he was also full of astonishment.
It took him a while to react, and he shouted hurriedly:
"Open the front door!"
The main door opened, eight bodyguards stood in two rows, and the leader yelled:
"The distinguished guest has arrived!"
Sun Qingshan stretched out his hand:
"Boss Meng, please!"
…
Zhang Renkui set up a small table in the yard and was about to eat when he suddenly heard voices coming one after another:
"Open the front door!"
The old man was also stunned.
Who is so bold as to open the front door without permission?
Who has such a big reputation to open the front door?
You must know that when Du Yuesheng came to visit, he only opened a side door.
I remember that the last time the main entrance was opened was during the Battle of Songhu. Chen Cheng pretended to come to visit him during his spare time during the battle, and this was the first time he opened the main entrance.
How could these disciples and disciples be so bold today and open the main door without even reporting to themselves?
Immediately, Sun Qingshan was seen taking the lead in arriving at the courtyard:
"Shanghai Special Office, Chief Meng Shaoyuan has arrived!"
ah?
Zhang Renkui was startled again.
Meng Shaoyuan?
Why did he come at this time?
No wonder, he had specifically told Sun Qingshan to open the front door on the day of the banquet for Meng Shaoyuan.
He quickly stood up and glared at Sun Qingshan: "You're nonsense, why don't you say hello in advance?"
"Old Master, you wrongly blamed Brother Sun. I didn't let him report to you!"
Meng Shaoyuan walked in behind with a smile, carrying two bags and clasping his fists: "Meng Shaoyuan has met the old man."
"Ouch, Chief Meng."
Zhang Renkui hurriedly greeted him: "Sir Meng is so proud to be here, but it really caught me off guard."
Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "As soon as I heard that the old lady wanted to treat me to dinner, I rushed over as fast as I could."
"Okay, okay, Sir Meng is so proud!"
Meng Shaoyuan's character greatly appealed to Zhang Renkui: "Come here, tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes!"
"Don't." Meng Shaoyuan stopped him: "Isn't the old man just eating? There are wine and vegetables, what else are you preparing in particular?"
There was a large bowl of rice on the small dining table, a piece of winter bamboo shoots and meat, a cold cucumber, a mushroom soup, and a small pot of wine. It was very simple.
Zhang Renkui looked troubled: "How can we entertain Chief Meng with this kind of food?"
"Old Master, this is wrong." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care: "It depends on the person when it comes to drinking. If the person is right, the table will be full of delicacies even if there are no dishes. But if the person is wrong, the delicacies of the mountains and seas will be tasteless."
"well!"
Zhang Renkui was overjoyed: "Mr. Meng is a wonderful man, and everything he says is full of witty words. I, Zhang Renkui, have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have met such a wonderful man like Chief Meng. Please, please. Prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and keep the jar I have hidden." Bring me the wine!"
Meng Shaoyuan sat down and opened the two packages in his hand: "Old man, I also have some food to go with wine. One package is serious Shaoxing fennel beans, and this package is candied fruit from Guanshengyuan, which is perfect for drinking."
"Yep."
Zhang Renkui couldn't help being happy.
He has been in the world for most of his life, and everyone respects and awes him, and is very careful when speaking. Where has he met Meng Shaoyuan, who doesn't regard him as the old man of Jinghu, but as an ordinary friend?
When we met for the first time, it was like we were old friends who we had known for many years.
Zhang Renkui's status in the world is far inferior to that of Du Yuesheng, the Golden Rong. He is always cautious when speaking, for fear of saying the wrong thing and making the old man unhappy.
Meng Shaoyuan's casualness was truly what Zhang Renkui had in mind.
His disciples, disciples, and grandsons all looked at each other in astonishment.
The old man is usually frugal, but whenever guests come, he will do his best to entertain them. Sometimes he even serves eight cold dishes and eighteen hot dishes, which makes God dissatisfied and feels that he is neglecting the guests.
Is it better today, drink fennel beans with candied fruit, or did the guests bring them themselves?
A large jar of wine was brought up, Sun Qingshan poured two shallow cups, Zhang Renkui raised the wine cup: "Sir Meng, please!"
Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan didn't even lift the wine cup: "Don't drink!"
Sun Qingshan was shocked.
This is not giving the old lady face!
Zhang Renkui asked with great interest: "I wonder what made Chief Meng unhappy?"
"Old Master, if you talk to me about Chief Meng, you don't regard me as a friend. Chief Meng, Chief Meng, I might as well go back to the office and listen to my subordinates calling me that."
Zhang Renkui laughed "haha": "Yes, yes, it's my fault. Brother Meng, brother Shaoyuan, please!"
"please!"
Meng Shaoyuan then raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Oh my God!
Sun Qingshan complained endlessly.
The old man called "Brother Meng", is that okay?
Doesn't this make it clear that Chief Meng and the old man are of the same generation?
In this world, who dares to call the old master a brother now?
Sun Qingshan is Zhang Renkui's disciple. According to the old man's name, he has to call Meng Shaoyuan grandpa.
He didn't care that the old man called him that, but if word spread, Meng Shaoyuan's status in the world was quite extraordinary!
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes rolled around, and he hit the snake with the stick: "You call me Brother Meng, and I don't want to call you Old Master. It makes people look old. If you are not angry, let's talk about how we have known each other for a long time. , let me call you brother."
"Very good, very good."
Zhang Renkui agreed wholeheartedly.
Who in the world would dare to speak to him like this?
Are they on an equal footing with him, the old man from Jinghu?
But the old man had other plans in his mind.
Meng Shaoyuan had been particularly attracted to him since he arrived. Furthermore, he thought that Meng Shaoyuan was from the government and he was so young. He must not understand the rules of the world, so what's the harm in him just recognizing this old acquaintance?
But he would not have thought that Meng Shaoyuan was a very cunning person and had made up his mind from the first minute he received Zhang Renkui's invitation.
Chang Yuqing is a member of the "Tong" generation of the Qing Gang.
At that time, in order to uniformly divide the generations within the Qinggang, a so-called family tree was drawn up. This family tree arranged a total of 24 generations, which were "pure morals, written Buddha's Dharma, capable of benevolence and wisdom, originally born from nature, enlightened and ceremonial, and enlightened."
By the time of the Republic of China, Shanghai's Youth Gang had spread to the last four words, "Great Enlightenment".
Du Yuesheng is from the "Enlightenment" generation, and Chang Yuqing is higher than him. It is precisely because of this that he can rely on his identity to be valued by the Japanese and form the Zodiac Society to bring disaster to Shanghai.
Meng Shaoyuan was in charge of Shanghai, and everything went smoothly, but he never paid much attention to the gangs. The gang members made him afraid of him simply because of his status as a military spy.
The Zodiac Society incident made Meng Shaoyuan, who originally looked down on gang members from the bottom of his heart, also start to think about activities.
He needs a chance.
And now this opportunity appeared in front of him.
Jang In-kyu!
Across the military world, the leader of the gang!
Who in Shanghai currently has a higher status than him?
The chairman of the committee, Huang Jinrong, and Du Yuesheng all worshiped him as their teacher.
Therefore, just say "Brother Meng" or "Brother Meng" and it will be settled.
Zhang Renkui has been in the world for most of his life, what kind of people has he never seen? Today, he fell into the trap of the scoundrel Meng Shaoyuan.
"Brother, since I said so, I'll give you another cup of Shaoyuan!"
"Please, please, we, our year-end friends, must have a good time before we leave here today!"
Sun Qingshan, a grandson, is truly speechless at this moment!
