Old Movies of the Republic of China II

Zhang Zheng put his eyes on Qinghe, he frowned, lowered his head, and looked as if he had encountered something troublesome.

Ying'er put the fruit plate on the table and left quietly.

Zhang Zheng stretched his long legs and sat beside Qing He, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Qinghe realize that he was back, and seemed a little flustered.

Zhang Zheng looked at him silently, without questioning, Qing He said: "Yes... Wang Xinyi, I have received his message."

"Ok?"

Qinghe said: "Some people say that he left Italy with the Japanese."

Zhang Zheng didn't believe it: "Japanese? Wang Xinyi?"

This is not good news for Zhang Zheng, but Qing He has no choice but to continue: "Yes, Japanese, and the identity of the other party may not be simple."

Zhang Zheng couldn't understand the meaning of "not simple".

He took out a cigarette from the new cigarette case, Qinghe lit it for him with lowered eyes, the white smoke drifted away, Qinghe felt sad in his heart.People are fickle, no one can be an exception.

Qinghe can even understand Wang Xinyi. He used to be the proud son of heaven, he had a prominent family background and a bright future, but after leaving the Northeast and leaving the protection of his family, he was just a poor man wandering in a foreign country.The huge gap in life will destroy a person, making him from being humble and extreme.

He has seen too many people like this.

Zhang Zheng had a friend who used to be a warlord. After losing everything, he lived on the 3 yuan given by Zhang Zheng every month.Qinghe has read the letters he wrote to Zhang Zheng. From being proud to living in a foreign country, from being powerful to being alone, his letters are becoming more and more unwilling to read. He is certainly pitiful, but the rotten atmosphere of failure makes people want to stay away. He lost even the last ounce of grace.

Zhang Zheng snorted and laughed at himself: "It seems that the old man won."

"Maybe he just met an acquaintance who wanted to give him a hand."

Qinghe also felt that his words were too pale.

Zhang Zheng stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, not wanting to continue this topic.Zhang Yishan probably taught him another lesson, let's see what kind of trouble Wang Xinyi will bring them.

Qing He took his hand and said, "Maybe I can find him."

Zhang Zheng mocked, "What happens after you find it? Kill him? I want to see what trouble he, Wang Xinyi, is going to cause me."

Qing He sighed in his heart.

Zhang Zheng didn't want Wang Xinyi to die, and Zhang Yishan probably didn't want to, either.But now that Wang Xinyi is standing beside the Japanese, no matter whether he is voluntary or forced, both Zhang and his son will not spare his life.

Zhang Yishan got a lot of benefits from the Japanese by taking advantage of the train explosion in Yingzui. There was even a concession to allow them to build a parallel railway.

Zhang Yishan laughed happily.

But Zhang Zheng was thinking about another thing: "Dad, it's the right party who wants to kill you."

Zhang Yishan looked at the map of Northeast China hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, without turning his head, he said, "I haven't forgotten you."

Zhang Zheng said: "This matter can't just go like this, they have to pay the price, let them know what to do and what not to do."

Zhang Yishan turned around, walked up to his son and patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly, "Smart people won't attack me at this time. This only shows that there are idiots in the right party in power. Don't worry, he won't be around for a few days." Yes. Zhang Zheng, forget about the fact that your father was almost killed by a bomb, it’s nothing new, trains, bombs, do they have any other tricks?”

Zhang Yishan straightened his collar button.

A strange feeling arose in Zhang Zheng's heart, his father didn't seem to be angry at the person who almost killed him, no, this is impossible.Zhang Yishan must repay any kindness, and likewise, he must also repay any grudges.Zhang Zheng knew that he would not let this matter go so easily.Unless...unless he knew who that "idiot" was, and he had already planned his death.

The power shown by Zhang Yishan is always just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhang Zheng: "I see."

Yang Xingsi is very satisfied with the quality of the guns produced by the arsenal, and Tao Wenle is also very satisfied with the quantity he proposed to purchase, but they still need to negotiate on the price.

Tao Wenle had a smile on his face, but he scolded his mother several times in his heart.

Everyone knew that the Zuo Party was probably the richest of all the warlords in the country, but Yang Xingsi said it as if they couldn't even pay their salaries.

Taking it for granted, Zhang Zheng was not interested in their wrangling.

Tao Wenle sighed: "It would be great if Yong Jiang was still alive, no one is better at negotiating than him."

It is not impossible for Liu Xi to be the director of the Finance Department, but he is far from Wang Yongjiang's selflessness and painstaking efforts. Of course, more importantly, few people can match Wang Yongjiang's economic talents. Lin Zhiyuan, and judging by Zhang Yishan's dislike for Lin, I'm afraid he can only hang up a idle job in the government for the rest of his life.

Zhang Zheng spent a few days in the school grounds, trying out a batch of new guns that had just arrived from Germany.

Apart from leading troops to fight, what he is most interested in now is firearms.The arsenal can develop so well, in addition to Zhang Yishan's attention, it is also due to Zhang Zheng's pickiness about firearms.

The most outstanding arsenal is the gun factory, and since Zhang Zheng got several senior engineers from Germany through Leonie's relationship, the progress of guns is also obvious.

Those Germans were enshrined by Tao Wenle like their ancestors, fearing that something might not go well with them.

After Zhang Zheng finished testing the gun, Zhang Jinxin came over excitedly, "Zheng, let's go out to have fun together at night?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at him: "No time."

Zhang Jinxin wondered, "What are you busy with?"

Zhang Zheng put down the gun casually, and said casually: "Busy to spend time and drink, and then get married."

Zhang Jinxin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Don't fucking make fun of me, I said I don't want to get married. I was forced, how can I play like this when I really get married? comfortable."

He said: "I'm not joking with you, shall we be together today? Guo Kun and the others are all here."

Zhang Zheng said: "OK, let's get together."

This time it was Guo Kun who was the host. Zhang Zheng hadn't come out to play for a long time. I don't know that Guo Kun likes parties very much recently, and he would fall asleep drunk almost every night.

Seeing Guo Kun, Zhang Zheng immediately sensed something was wrong, and half-jokingly said: "Kun'er, where did you let the mountain demon tree spirit drain your energy? Why do you look so ugly?"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Guo Kun said vaguely, "Is it your fault that I look pretty or ugly?"

Zhang Zheng found it strange that Guo Kun had never spoken to him in such a tone before, so he was still at ease.Before he got Guo Kun on the bed, Guo Kun was the youngest and the most obedient among them, and Zhang Zheng treated him like a younger brother, but now it seems that Guo Kun has let go of those nonsense.

"Why don't you do my business, I can treat you as my own brother." Zhang Zheng crossed his legs, drank a few sips of wine, and asked, "Tell me, what happened, you are as thin as a little plague chicken of."

Guo Kun said: "Don't treat me as a younger brother, don't you have that Zhang Ziran?"

Zhang Zheng laughed and said, "Can it be the same? It's fine, stop making trouble, what happened when you fell to the ground."

Guo Kun lowered his head sullenly, and said for a while, "I slept with someone."

"male?"

Seeing that Guo Kun didn't deny it, Zhang Zheng said, "Did you do it voluntarily?"

Guo Kun thought for a long time, then shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, I can't tell... I can't beat him."

Zhang Zheng's face changed slightly.

Guo Kun put out the cigarette and said, "He's different from you. He gives the impression that he's always calculating something. I was having a hard time at that time. I didn't really refuse when he approached me. Brother Zheng, I didn’t want to go on like that with him, but I can’t help it.”

Zhang Zheng held back his anger and grabbed his shoulder: "Tell me, who it is."

"No, brother Zheng, don't ask."

It happened that someone was calling to play cards, and Guo Kun pulled Zhang Zheng over.While Zhang Zheng was playing cards with a cigarette in his mouth, he wondered who this person might be.

He doesn't care who Guo Kun wants to play with, but if he is forced, Zhang Zheng will never stand idly by.

Zhang Jinxin bumped into him: "Hey, what did you talk to Kun'er for so long just now? Don't say you want to turn around."

Zhang Zheng didn't bother to talk to him.

Zhang Jinxin rubbed his nose, and said awkwardly: "One or two of you, why are you so bad-tempered?"

Playing cards, Zhang Jinxin and the others flirted with the courtesans, and kissed and touched them from time to time, but Zhang Zheng didn't take it seriously, and when someone rubbed against him, they only needed a look to scare them away.

Zhang Jinxin shook his head and said, "Look at you, how can you not enjoy life so much?"

After the game was over, Zhang Zheng went back to the house. Hou Xiao counted the money he had won today and said with a beaming smile, "I didn't expect to win so much."

Zhang Zheng responded.

He was very displeased that Hou Xiao and that Min Zijing had a relationship again, Qing He should never let him come back.

Hou Xiao turned his head: "What do you think I should give Min Zijing? He is a scholar, so he probably doesn't like cars or anything? How about I choose a pen? But it might not be suitable for me to go temporarily."

Zhang Zheng closed his eyes, too lazy to talk to him.

Hou Xiao felt that he only regarded Min Zijing as a new friend different from his old friends, but he didn't know that was not the case in Zhang Zheng's eyes.Zhang Zheng knew him well and knew that he was an impatient person. Min Zijing's time away from Fengtian was not long, but it was definitely not short.Hou Xiao and Min Zijing only met each other a few times, but after he came back, they "accidentally" met again, and even offered to show their affection, which is not in line with Hou Xiao's usual behavior.

After returning home, Qing He was not there.

Zhang Zheng: "Where's Qinghe?"

Ying'er said: "Master Qinghe went out after answering the phone... It seems that something serious happened, his face is very ugly."

event?

"Who's following him?"

Ying'er shook her head: "The servant does not know."

Zhang Zheng turned around and went out without even sitting down, Xilai asked doubtfully, "Zhenger, what's wrong?"

Zhang Zheng said: "Who followed Qinghe out?"

Xilai: "I didn't follow anyone. Yongze is resting today. I told him to take someone with him but he didn't."

Zhang Zheng turned and left with a sullen face.

He went to his mother and talked with her for a while, Zhang Sheng pulled out his father's gun, Susie unloaded the bullet, and let him play with it.

Zhang Zheng said: "When you grow up, I will teach you how to shoot a gun."

Zhang Sheng exclaimed happily.

Zhang Rui looked at it coldly, as if he had no interest in firearms at all.Susie whispered a few words in Chun'er's ear, Chun'er widened her eyes in surprise, and went out hesitantly.

Susie smiled and said, "Children from other people's families don't know how to use guns as toys."

Zhang Zheng said proudly: "He is my son."

Chun'er came back with another gun, and Su Qian gave it to Zhang Rui after making sure there was no bullet in it.

Zhang Rui glanced at his father before taking it.

Su Xi was a little worried, Ruirui and Zhang Zheng were not very close, this child was obviously very young, but he was always cold, unlike other children of his age.

"I heard from your father that you two made a bet?"

Zhang Zheng said, "Hmph."

Susie laughed: "Zhang Yishan is always right."

Zhang Zheng: "Everyone makes mistakes, and so does my dad."

Susie laughed and said, "Then this time, is he wrong or you? I think you are wrong."

Zhang Zheng picked up Zhang Rui, who was still holding a gun in his hand. He pointed the gun at his father, but Zhang Zheng didn't care, and said, "Not necessarily."

That's what he said, but Zhang Zheng also felt that he would lose this bet.Perhaps his father knew that the Japanese had found Wang Xinyi when he made the bet...or he had found the Japanese on his own initiative.

The second guess made Zhang Zheng feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Zheng waited until after one o'clock in the morning before he arrived at the pale-faced Qinghe.Qing He was obviously in a trance, and almost fell when he entered the door.He didn't even show any expression after seeing Zhang Zheng, but just shrank into his arms like a wandering soul.

Zhang Zheng hugged him silently.

Zhang Zheng felt that Qinghe's tears soaked his shirt, he was crying, crying very sadly, but he didn't make any sound.

Zhang Zheng patted him on the back, coaxed him, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened?"

"...Hou Yuzhi is dead."

Zhang Zheng's pupils shrank sharply.

Hou Yuzhi is the most skilled woman he has ever seen. Not only is she good at martial arts, but she is also good at lurking, assassinating, and obtaining information. Having Hou Yuzhi is definitely a great help for him.She can perfectly complete any task assigned to Hou Yuzhi, and she looks indifferent, but in fact she is full of patriotic enthusiasm. Zhang Zheng believes that she will never do anything that harms the interests of the nation.

After learning that Hou Yuzhi was pregnant, Zhang Zheng and Qing He had a tacit agreement not to arrange tasks for her, but she still died.

Zhang Zheng asked sadly, "Who is it?"

Qinghe shook her head, "I don't know... Liu Ningluan called me. When I arrived, she was already... Zheng'er, she left behind a child."

Qinghe regretted it, he shouldn't have let Hou Yuzhi get blood on her hands knowing she was pregnant.

Hasegawa Sheng deserves to die, but Jiang Yu shouldn't, he just believed in the wrong person.

Zhang Zheng hugged him even harder, his heart full of pity.

His little Hemiaoer is not yet mature enough to face life and death calmly, Wang Yongjiang's passing even made him cry, let alone Hou Yuzhi who has been together for so long.

But in the face of life and death, how many people in the world can be calm?
