Boss Yuan thought about it for a long time and finally asked this question.
Dong Mingcheng and others laughed loudly: "Of course, we are not the weaklings of the Jin family who don't even know how to resist after being betrayed by Feng Guozhang."
"We have gathered elites from all walks of life here. Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat a Nie Li?"
In fact, Dong Mingcheng had no idea, but they had no choice.
Being forced into a corner, the only option is to resist or surrender.
But it is impossible for them to donate the wealth their family has accumulated over the years to the government.
If you take a desperate risk, you might actually be able to make a breakthrough.
Boss Yuan looked at the people around him and looked at him expectantly.
Finally made a decision.
However, on the second day after the secret meeting, keen people will find that the capital has changed.
Many shops closed their doors and put up signs saying they were out of business.
There are many time-honored brands among them, which makes many people in the capital very angry. Why are you closing your doors if you don't care about the year?
The most important thing is that there is no time for reopening.
In addition, there is obviously a disturbance in all walks of life in the capital.
The most obvious thing is that there are some disharmonious voices in the old Beiyang group.
The home of Lu Jianzhang, who is also the director of the Special Operations Division of the Beijing Guard, has been visited by many people since last night.
This made Xiao Lu's wife look worriedly at Xiao Lu who had just returned home from a busy day.
"Master, tell me the truth, are you doing errands for others outside?"
Xiao Lu took off his military uniform and handed it to his servant.
Then he looked at his wife suspiciously.
"What have I done? Why don't I know? I'm so busy every day."
Xiao Lu's wife pointed to the gifts piled high in the hall.
Count them one by one: "This is the Dong family, a wealthy family in the capital, the Dong family who used to have their nostrils turned upward and no one looked down upon them!"
"This was sent by several former nobles."
"And that one, it was said to be sent by your former colleague..."
Xiao Lu looked at these gifts with even more confusion on his face.
What can you give yourself during the holidays?
Besides, I don’t accept gifts even during holidays. Frankly speaking, no one is proud of me for doing this little work.
It's all about killing people.
"Didn't I tell you that our family doesn't accept gifts? Why do you still accept them?"
Xiao Lu's wife made a sad face: "I don't want to accept it either, but these people put down the gifts and left, and then there was a greeting note saying that they would come to visit you in the evening!"
"I can't let these things be left at the gate. Then doesn't it mean that everyone knows that the selfless Director Lu accepted the gift?"
Xiao Lu nodded.
The wife is still soft-hearted.
If you're at home, it doesn't matter who it is, just throw it away.
"Where's the invitation? Let me take a look!"
My wife took out a stack of greeting cards.
Then, Xiao Lu checked them one by one.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened.
There are a few tough characters on it.
"Why did they come to visit me?"
Xiao Lu's wife asked curiously: "Who?"
"You don't have to worry about it. Let the kitchen cook. I'm hungry. No matter what they are, I want to see what they want to do today!"
Said.
Xiao Lu ate pancakes rolled with scallions, egg soup and a few side dishes, slowly waiting for the visitor.
As for wine, he doesn't drink. Xiao Lu has never drank since he took up the position of the capital's garrison commander.
The capital is of great importance, and if it happens because of drinking, even a few heads won't be enough!
Wait and wait.
Xiao Lu almost fell asleep while leaning on his chair after eating. Finally, around ten o'clock in the night.
The concierge came to report.
"Master, we have a visitor."
Xiao Lu nodded: "Bring the guests in, just say it's not convenient for me to go out!"
The concierge understands.
Went down carefully.
Not long after, the three people followed the concierge's footsteps and entered the main hall.
Xiao Lu showed a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Eldest Young Master, brother Keyun, it's been a long time since we last met. It's been a long time since we met you from afar."
As for Dong Chengming? Although he is rich, he is not noticed by Xiao Lu.
Letting him in was all for Boss Yuan's sake.
Boss Yuan took off his hat, revealing his true appearance.
He walked towards Xiao Lu with a smile.
"Jianzhang, I haven't seen you brother for a while, but I think you are a lot more polite."
Another person also smiled and said: "That's right, Brother Lu has risen in status and no longer recognizes us brothers. Haha!"
Xiao Lu's heart trembled, this was friendship.
Generally speaking, someone who talks like this must be asking for something.
He showed a smile and led a few people to sit down.
"Brother Keyun, what are you talking about? Back then, you and I worked together as servants for Mr. Yuan, but we were good partners. I also listened to your teachings."
Boss Yuan and Keyun looked at each other and laughed.
"Let me tell you, Jianzhang is a nostalgic person, why would he ignore our old brother?"
Then he said with a sigh on his face, "Back then, Jianzhang was the director of the military law department, and Keyun you were the city defense battalion officer, but you still cooperated a lot and worked for my father."
Xiao Lu's heart skipped a beat.
Trouble.
It is definitely not easy for Mr. Yuan to directly mention the late Mr. Yuan. What they are entrusting today is definitely not simple.
He cheered up and smiled: "Indeed, of course I have to ask Brother Keyun to help."
"It's just that you came to see Jianzhang late at night today. What's the matter?"
Xiao Lu was too lazy to talk in circles, and his friendship had also reached a circle.
It's almost time to talk.
Mr. Yuan smiled and nodded: "Jianzhang is still so quick-tempered. But it was this temper that was valued by my father back then."
"Jianzhang, since you don't talk in circles, I will also be honest with you!"
Then he looked at Xiao Lu with a serious face.
"Jianzhang, don't you think it's unfair?"
Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment.
What is this.
"The eldest son made it clear!"
I am still very respectful to Boss Yuan.
Boss Yuan also enjoys this feeling. It’s been a long time.
He said naturally: "Look, those who followed my father back then, Duan Zhiquan, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, are they all in high positions? Or holding heavy troops?"
"Even the puppet Li has become the nominal boss and has been doing dirty work. For his sake, Nie Li even went so far as to arrest foreigners and offend the great powers."
"But what did you get? A director of operations who still does dirty work? To put it bluntly, isn't that the executioner?"
"And this capital garrison commander, to put it bluntly, is a guard dog."
"Nie Li treats you like this, don't you have any thoughts?"
Boss Yuan said word for word.
Staring at Xiao Lu.
The people they choose to win over are also carefully selected.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Lu's experience and treatment are obviously unfair.
They naturally believed that Xiao Lu should have resentment in his heart.
This trick has been implemented on some people, so what Boss Yuan said is very natural.
But Xiao Lu's heart was filled with turmoil!
