Chapter 63 Entanglement

The Western wall clock hanging on the wall made a "tick" sound to tell the time. Heng'e heard the sound and looked at the hands on the clock. The time pointed to twelve o'clock. She was about to look away, but her eyes collided with Gao Ling's in mid-air , Between lightning and flint, there seemed to be a dark light flashing in Gao Ling's eyes.Hanging her head down, Heng'e slowly picked up the teacup on the table.

Tao Shiyi noticed the time on the western wall clock earlier than the other two people on the sofa.She couldn't help but took a deep breath.One afternoon, after a frank and heart-to-heart conversation, the young marshal's wife, who looked like a fairy and seemed to be out of the world, not only did not make any statement, even no matter what she said, she didn't even have a trace of emotion Ups and downs, this is the first time Tao Shiyi has met such a reclusive character, she pulled the corner of her lips in a self-deprecating manner.Although the young marshal's wife made her unable to do anything here, she had already said what had to be said, and she had done what had to be done.The confrontation between Zhejiang merchants and Shanxi merchants has reached a fever pitch in the past few years. My side is full of sincerity, the so-called doing my best and obeying the destiny!The rest depends on the young commander's response.

Thinking of this, Tao Shiyi felt relieved, at this time, she should also leave.The reason why her husband felt relieved that she came alone was also because she was very good at seeing the height of her eyebrows.

Tao Shiyi put down the teacup, and said goodbye to Heng'e with a smile: "It's too late, I won't bother you to rest, Young Madam, Young Madam, Director Gao, please forgive my impoliteness, I will leave first."

"Madam is too polite." Heng'e smiled and nodded towards Tao Shiyi, beckoning to the servants who were standing beside her: "Take Madam Sun to the guest room to rest."

Watching Mrs. Sun go upstairs, the door of the guest room slammed shut with a slight "click", Heng'e looked away, stood up, and softly invited Gao Ling: "Brother Shi, let's talk in the small study."

"That's exactly what I mean." Gao Ling then stood up and followed Heng'e to the study at the corner of the living room on the first floor.

Outside the study, Gao Ling's confidants personally guarded the door.

The last time Gao Ling came to the mansion was half a year ago. He casually looked at the layout of the study, and saw the four treasures of the study placed on the long table with red sour branches and gilded cloud patterns. There was a half-opened purple jade lotus in the basin, and two cinnabar dragon eyes were swimming leisurely in the basin.

Cui Heng'e has only lived in for a day, and the layout of the study is completely different from the original, but a few new utensils were added casually, giving the original mediocre layout a sense of elegance and simplicity.

Gao Ling's eyes froze on the book case, and he saw that the ink was still wet in the mud inkstone, and a piece of ink-stained rice paper was pressed under the Tianhuang Dong paperweight carved with patterns of gold and jade. On the paper was the hand-copied "Diamond Sutra" ": "... Yun He speaks for people, does not depend on appearance, as if he does not move. Why?" "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such..." The font on the rice paper is copied The most famous is Liu Gongquan's "Diamond Sutra Carved Stone", which is well-proportioned, thin and hard, and follows the Wei stele's decisive force.Such a good calligraphy requires at least ten years of hard work.Gao Ling sighed inwardly, it was no wonder that the relationship between Cui Heng'e and Bo Yu was not harmonious.

Seeing that Gao Ling had been looking at the writing on the desk, Cui Heng'e strolled to the desk, rolled up the rice paper and put it in the Sanyang Kaitai bamboo-carved paper tube, and smiled generously: "The work of practicing brushwork, Let the elder brother laugh at you." Whenever she encountered a difficult decision, she would copy the "Diamond Sutra Carved on Stone" again, but when Tao Shiyi came to visit, she had to stop writing to receive guests.Unexpectedly, the maids in the mansion were so tired and lazy, and they didn't even collect the rice paper spread on the table.

"My brother and sister's handwriting is far better than that of many men in the world." Gao Ling's words were full of admiration, but the expression on his face carried a meaningful taste no matter how you looked at it.

Hearing this, Heng'e just smiled.The host and guest sat down on the red rosewood sofa with five blessings holding longevity patterns in the study.

Gao Ling rubbed his nose, and went straight to the point: "Sister and sister, I have already found out the matter. The reason why Feng Xiao attacked you recklessly was because of the news that a concubine he had accepted sent him: "Heng Shutong Inn's The boss behind the scenes is not Huang Zhong, the real boss will appear at Luomei Temple outside Sucheng on April 26th, and meet with the person in charge of Hongmen."

Hearing this, Heng'e's lips curled up: "Brother Shi, just say what you have to say, so why bother to say something meandering."

Gao Ling's complexion darkened, this Cui Hang'e went to Sucheng privately with Bo Yu on his back, and almost had an accident, and he has been in close contact with Hongmen for the past few years, what is he trying to do.Gao Ling's thin lips pulled out a slight smile, but Tao Hua's eyes did not see any smile: "Since my younger brother and sister think so, then I will speak directly. Hongmen's attitude towards our new government has always been ambiguous, but Heng Shutong's house has always been ambiguous." The Tsing Yi Club, which secretly supports Hongmen, provides an astronomical amount of money every year, so where did the brothers and sisters put Bo Yu?"

Heng'e lowered her eyelids slightly, staring at her pale jade fingertips, her red lips curled into a mocking arc: "Heng Shutong Inn is my private property, what does it have to do with the Chen family. As for the cooperation with Hongmen... She raised her eyes, the corners of her lips deepened, but her bright eyes were as cold as snow: "It's just business talk."

"So I'm making a fuss over a molehill!" Gao Ling's eyes were colder than Cui Heng'e's: "Bo Yu's original plan was to support the Green Gang to fight against the Hongmen. You have not only ruined our plan, but also made our early stage The arrangement was wasted. Your words are in the business, which is an understatement."

"The Green Gang is just a dog raised by Chen Xi. Feng Xiao was chosen because he is obedient, but he is so stupid. Even if there is no me, there will be someone else. Since bad things will happen sooner or later, it is better sooner than later."

Gao Ling snorted coldly when he heard the words: "In the past six months, Hongmen has run the Green Gang to the point where they lost even a place to stand. There is a reason for Feng Xiao's obedience and belief. I'm just curious, who is the concubine he recruited?" People, brothers and sisters have seven orifices in their hearts, and they can be tricked by her, thinking about it, Feng Xiao is not so stupid."

Gao Ling's sarcasm made Heng'e frown. This man has been dissatisfied with her for a long time.It was rumored that Gao Ling and Chen Xi were life-and-death friends, she could understand his good brother's feelings of injustice for Chen Xi, but why should she bear it.If it is said that his fault is three points, then Chen Xi's fault is ten points.Heng'e's eyes were cold, and her words were full of deep displeasure: "Brother Shi didn't have the ability to find Feng Xiao's concubine by himself, so you are treating me as a prisoner for interrogation?"

Gao Ling was almost laughed at by Cui Heng'e's righteous attitude: "Cui Heng'e didn't intercept the person, so now you are pretending to be confused with me."

"Aunt Ming and I have never met each other. If a person who wanted my life was in my hands, I would have torn her to pieces!" Heng'e's bright eyes were like lightning, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Gao Ling was noncommittal to her words, if he hadn't got the exact news that Cui Heng'e was indeed in her hands, maybe he would have been deceived by her superb acting skills.

"Changqing Road, the 'Begonia Spring' clothing store, people disappeared there. The wives and ladies in Haicheng love the clothes-making skills of 'Golden Needle Lady' Shen Yunxiu the most. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Lady Shen tortured and killed people. The skills are also good." Time was running out, Gao Ling didn't have the energy to entangle Cui Heng'e any more, so he simply opened the skylight to speak honestly, he spoke slowly, and his pair of sparkling peach eyes couldn't let go of the expression on Cui Heng'e's face .

The heavy bomb dropped in Gaoling's dialect made Heng'e's pupils shrink slightly, and the worry in her eyes disappeared in a flash.But after a while, she made a decision and chose to have a showdown with Gao Ling: "Although I robbed the man, but the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole are behind, since Shixiong sent someone to investigate the 'Begonia Spring', they will not fail to find the shop." Mrs. Shen was also seriously injured. Instead of entangled with me here, Brother Shi, shouldn't he find Ming Lan first?"

"Ming Lan, I will naturally look for it." Gao Ling's tone was very indifferent when he mentioned this name, such a woman was not worth his troubles, on the contrary, he was particularly concerned about Cui Heng'e.

A weak woman not only controls the Hengshutong Store, which is incomparably wealthy, but also uses clothing stores distributed in several major provinces to establish a huge intelligence network.Cooperating with major chambers of commerce, linking up with gangster forces, making friends with foreign arms dealers, holding money, contacts, arms, and information, but living in seclusion on weekdays, the most things he does are playing the piano and embroidering.The deeper Gao Ling investigated, the more frightening he became.Such a scheming woman is dormant by Bo Yu's side, she will show her sharp fangs at some point, so calm, how terrifying!
Gao Ling was full of thoughts, staring sharply at Cui Heng'e, who had a calm and normal face, and said slowly: "A concubine can't make any trouble. I'm curious, what is the identity of that Ming Lan who is able to work with his siblings shirtless?" , I am even more curious about the purpose of the cooperation between my younger siblings and Hongmen. Speaking of which, I should also thank Minglan. If it weren't for her, how would Heng Shutongzhan and Haitangchun have surfaced? This is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know. Standing here, Bo Yu, can you recognize the person next to your pillow!"

"You are presumptuous!" Heng'e slapped the palm of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea heavily on the red rosewood coffee table with ivory top, and the pastel teacup on the table with Sudi's spring dawn shook with her strength.Amidst the slight tinkling of fine porcelain, her clear voice was as cold as ice: "Gao Shaoling, I call you elder brother to respect you, please recognize your identity! Chen Xi and I have Gao Tang, our husband and wife relationship is still It's not your turn to point fingers."

Cui Heng'e's words were very rude, and it was the first time for Gao Ling to be pointed at his nose and scolded in the face. He narrowed his peach eyes, and the smile disappeared from his face. Let me talk about the central matter. Although Bo Yu was blinded by you, my eyes are not blind, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Explain?" Cui Heng'e snorted coldly: "Even if I want to explain, it's not with you. Of course, I will explain my affairs clearly to Chen Xi!"
