What a beautiful white lotus

Mr. Huang kept his word. As soon as Ye Rongqiu came home, Principal Song called and politely said that he would come to get the cloth in two days.Two days later, President Song really went to Yejiabuzhuang with the head of logistics and Qian, settled all the bills happily, and left with hundreds of pieces of cloth.

The white silver dollars were delivered to Ye's family, except for Ye Rongqiu, everyone was overjoyed.Fortunately, Ye Xiangmin and Ye Huachun still paid more attention to Ye Rongqiu, and asked Ye Rongqiu if he was forced to do something embarrassing for this business, Ye Rongqiu just said lightly: "It's nothing, I just begged Huang San, and he promised to give me some time to think about it." Think about it."

And Su Ying came to Ye Rongqiu with a big belly, and said with apologetic expression: "Second Master, I was in a hurry the day before yesterday, so I said those words, Second Master, don't take it to heart, and be considerate of me as a mother. Yes, always think more about your children."

Ye Rongqiu wanted to sneer and ask her if she only thought of her own child, did she ever think about the price he paid.But he didn't do that, he just sent Su Ying away with a few perfunctory words wearily.

What's more strange is that those hooligans squatting outside Ye's shop also left, and those big merchants who had cut off business with Ye's before started to contact Ye's again.There is less than a week before the Chinese New Year. At this time, there are many people buying new year's goods. In just three to five days, many of the Ye family's unsalable goods have been sold, and the business is actually better than before offending Mr. Huang.

Even Ye Huachun found it strange, and asked Ye Rongqiu: "What does Huang San mean? Is he letting our Ye family go, or is he planning something bad again?"

Ye Rongqiu didn't understand either.

Ye Huachun asked him cautiously: "What did Mr. Huang do to you?"

Ye Rongqiu felt humiliated and ended the topic very unhappy.At the same time, he also found it ironic that how much he was worth in Huang Sanye's heart, that his skin could be exchanged for such a grace after being kissed a few times.

Another thing that Ye Rongqiu had to care about was that since he came back from Mr. Huang that day, he had never seen a black dog again.Mr. Huang still sent someone to watch him, but the guy who squatted at the door of Ye's house every morning and night was replaced by a short man with a sly look on his face. Every time he saw Ye Rongqiu, he would look at him obscenely. This made Ye Rongqiu very uncomfortable.

That day when Ye Huachun came back from the store, the car didn't drive directly into the mansion, he got out of the car outside and talked to the new gangster.Ye Rongqiu stood at the window and saw Ye Huachun stuffing two packs of cigarettes for the gangster during the conversation. Later, the gangster seemed to be asking him what he was asking for, so he took out some silver dollars and stuffed them for the gangster.Ye Rongqiu frowned in disgust: The black dog has been with him for several months, and has never asked him for anything.

After Ye Huachun entered the room, Ye Rongqiu came down from upstairs and asked him casually, "Brother, what did you say to that new dog outside?"

Ye Huachun unbuttoned his scarf and gloves and said, "Ah, I asked him why he changed people suddenly, and where did the black dog go?"

Ye Rongqiu's heart tightened slightly.In fact, this problem is lost in the black dog

He was already curious on the first day he disappeared, but he was the young master of the Ye family, and the black dog was just a dog under the third master Huang. He didn't want to care about this issue, lest he would insult his little dignity and pride.Now that Ye Huachun inquired about this for him, his heart was itching like a cat scratching, but he still put on airs and said: "It's so strange to change a dog."

Ye Huachun responded, and asked, "Is dinner ready? The shop is doing well today. After a busy day, I'm hungry."

"...It should be burnt." Seeing that he didn't seem to be explaining clearly, Ye Rongqiu was a little anxious, but he just said that it was nothing unusual, and it would be even more demeaning to ask at this time, so he secretly pointed his fingers Hang the hem of the clothes.

Ye Huachun turned his head and told a servant: "Tell the kitchen to serve dinner earlier." After speaking, he walked into the living room.Ye Rongqiu followed closely.

Fortunately, Ye Huachun himself had the desire to tell, so he didn't make Ye Rongqiu's appetite too pitiful.He sat down on the sofa and said, "I heard from the guy outside that the black dog got into trouble, severely injured someone, and sent him to the hospital, so Mr. Huang has replaced him."

Ye Rongqiu was taken aback: "He was beaten?"

Ye Huachun nodded: "That guy outside seems to have trouble with Heigou. He said that Heigou is too bad-tempered and doesn't fit in with others, and he doesn't know what kind of appetite he has for Mr. Huang. It may be that he fights badly, so Mr. Huang thinks highly of him." Him. He said that the black dog did not follow the rules of the world. A few days ago, he provoked a soldier—it seemed to be a company commander. In the end, the company commander asked a group of people to deal with him. It was because of Mr. Huang It didn't kill people in face, but only half of their lives were left after the beating."

Ye Rongqiu immediately remembered the day when the black dog fought with soldiers on the street because of an old bitch, and beat them with bricks. Obviously, this is what Ye Huachun was talking about.It stands to reason that he hated the black dog at first, but after hearing this incident, he only felt that those soldiers were bullying others. He didn't think that the black dog was self-inflicted, and even felt that he was pitiful.He couldn't help but said: "Isn't Huang San very powerful? Why can't he even protect one of his subordinates?"

Ye Huachun smiled and said: "I can guess a little bit about this. Huang San has been a local leader in Chongqing for so many years, and even the police can be called around by him. But since the government moved the capital to Chongqing, Chongqing's political officials have changed a batch of water. , and a large number of troops rushed in, the military is different from the police, I am afraid that Huang San can't eat those people, so he can't afford to provoke the military."

Ye Rongqiu nodded ignorantly.

Ye Huachun suppressed his smile, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I've been looking around for news recently. Ever since Chongqing became the capital, it's different from Chongqing before. If the central government wants to gain a firm foothold here, it will definitely not allow people like A local snake like Huang San sits on the ground. I heard that the army has recently suppressed gangsters in several districts, and even killed them in the street. The urban area has become more stable. Maybe this action is aimed at Huang San."

Ye Rongqiu was stunned for a while, and almost jumped up in surprise: "You mean, Huang San is going to be unlucky?"

Ye Huachun was not as happy as he was, but sighed: "It's just my guess and hope. It's a pity that our family is in decline now. If we had the support of the military, we wouldn't be so bullied by Huang San. Furthermore, even if the government wants to rule him, his power in Chongqing is so entangled that it will not take three or two days to move him. I just hope...it can be done sooner. Before that, let's be honest and don't let him find Our troubles. Get through this period, and it will be fine."

When Ye Rongqiu heard that Mr. Huang was going to be unlucky, he immediately felt better, and he forgot about the black dog, and even more fortunately, he just pretended that the two-month deadline given to him by Mr. Huang had never happened.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.Although a war was taking place on the land of China this year, and half of the Chinese people were suffering from the flames of war, the areas that were not affected by the flames of war were still lively with singing and dancing.Every household hung up red lanterns, and the streets were crowded with people, full of New Year flavor.People who should be joking are talking and laughing, and people who shouldn't be joking are also joking and laughing. Even the red couplets during the Chinese New Year are hung on the gate of the government.

Ye family originally thought that this annual meeting was going to be very miserable, but they didn't expect things to turn around, and Su Ying was going to buy a newcomer for Ye family soon, so Ye Xiangmin sent people to take Ye The mansion was decorated in a big way, and a lot of new year's goods were purchased, and the Ye mansion was even more lively than in previous years during the New Year.

During the day, the servants were busy making arrangements at home, Ye Huachun played with his two daughters in the yard, and Ye Rongqiu accompanied Ye Xiangmin to talk in the house.

Ye Xiangmin couldn't hide the joy on his face, he grabbed Ye Rongqiu's hand and said, "Xiaoqiu, next year must be an auspicious year."

Ye Rongqiu wondered, "Father, what makes you so happy?"

Ye Xiangmin said: "Didn't I always run out of town a few days ago? That was because I was busy with a business. Now that the goods have arrived, I will send someone to deliver them on the fifth day of the lunar new year. If I change hands, I will get ten times the net profit. A total of five hundred oceans! If Mr. Huang wants to cut off our business again, I won’t be afraid to spend a year with him!” He patted Ye Rongqiu’s hand with emotion, “Son, dad can’t let him You suffer!"

For some reason, Ye Rongqiu felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Father... what kind of business are you doing? Is it fabric?"

Ye Xiangmin shook his head mysteriously: "No, it's medicine. There are wars outside, and wounded soldiers on the battlefield are constantly being sent back. Now medicine has become a scarce commodity, and the price has been skyrocketed! The goods I bought from Guizhou, If you send it to Shaanxi, you will earn this amount."

Ye Rongqiu asked him: "Father, where did you come from? Are you reliable?"

Ye Xiangmin said: "It's a distant relative. He has a way to buy goods, and I have a way to deliver them. We cooperate and share [-]-[-]."

Although Ye Rongqiu was a little worried, he knew nothing about business matters. Seeing that Ye Xiangmin was full of confidence, he could only be happy.

In the evening, Ye Rongqiu was counting new clothes for the new year in the house, and the maid knocked on the door outside: "Second young master, dinner is ready, the master wants you to go down and eat."

Ye Rongqiu responded, put down the things in his hands, and was about to go out, but suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked to the window.The opposite side of the road was empty, people went home and had a reunion dinner, and even the new dog outside was gone.Ye Rongqiu stood by the window for more than ten seconds, drew the curtains, turned and went downstairs.

Ye Xiangmin was in a great mood, and ordered people to cook a few more dishes. Ye Rongqiu walked to the table and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so rich."

Spicy crab, spicy powder, sauerkraut fish, mapo tofu, Maoxuewang, and the table is full of red, red and white.Everyone at the table was overjoyed, and even Su Ying couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when she saw Ye Rongqiu: "Second brother, happy Chinese New Year."

Ye Huachun's two daughters also happily surrounded Ye Rongqiu and called them little uncle. Ye Rongqiu touched their heads one by one, and took out the wrapped red envelopes and stuffed them for them.

After dinner, everyone did not move their chopsticks, they all waited for Ye Xiangmin to speak.Ye Xiangmin raised his wine glass, with a happy face: "There are still a few hours, and this year will pass. Although this year has encountered some difficulties, it has passed smoothly anyway."

Everyone raised the wine glasses in front of them one after another, even the pregnant Su Ying poured a glass of thin wine.

Ye Xiangmin said loudly: "I wish our Ye family a new year..."

"Bang!" Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and everyone at the table was stunned, and Ye Xiangmin swallowed back his words.Hearing a sound of messy footsteps, several policemen with guns rushed in. The servants of the Ye family kept trying to stop them: "Master, you can't force your way in." The leader of the policemen kicked him away and stared at The panicked people in the room asked viciously, "Who is Ye Xiangmin?"

Ye Xiangmin raised his hand in horror: "I am..."

Two policemen rushed up, grabbed him and were about to take him away, Su Ying screamed, the two girls hugged their mother and cried in fear, Ye Huachun and Ye Rongqiu hurried forward to stop him.Ye Xiangmin struggled and said, "Master Guan, what crime have I committed?"

The leading policeman sneered and said, "The police station received a secret report that you were involved in dangerous arms smuggling. Take it back!"

Ye Huachun smiled and passed cigarettes to several policemen: "My lord, my lord, wait a minute, is there some misunderstanding?"

Ye Rongqiu poked his neck and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

The policeman pushed away Ye Huachun's cigarette hand, looked at Ye Rongqiu, and snorted coldly, "Evidence? The evidence is in your warehouse!"

The police twisted Ye Xiangmin and rushed into the warehouse, followed by Ye Huachun and Ye Rongqiu. There were five large containers in the warehouse, which were the goods that Ye Huachun said today.Ye Rongqiu took a step forward and explained: "There is no ammunition inside..."

The policeman roughly pushed him away, pointed to the box in the middle and said, "Open!" He didn't pick the one on the side, but pointed directly at the one in the middle, looking confident.The Ye family brothers looked at each other, both of them were in a bad mood.

The container was opened, and the medicines were neatly stacked inside.The policeman walked to the side of the container and pushed all the medicines on the top layer aside. The Ye family father and son were all dumbfounded by what was underneath: at the bottom of the container, there was indeed a black pistol.

The policeman hugged the bear and sneered, "Have you read the regulations on gun control in wartime? Hiding arms is a capital offense!"

Ye Xiangmin struggled in horror: "Master Guan, I am wronged, this is really not my gun, and I don't know why there is a gun here! It is...someone is going to frame me! It is Huang..." Before he finished speaking , was punched crookedly in the face by the policeman who was pressing him down, and the corner of his mouth immediately overflowed with blood.

The policeman waved his hand impatiently: "It's really bad luck for the New Year's Eve. Take it back to the police station!"

Ye Huachun and Ye Rongqiu tried to stop them, but the police pointed their guns at them, so that they didn't dare to make a move. They could only watch Ye Xiangmin being tied up by a group of policemen.When they got out of the gate of Ye Mansion, Ye Rongqiu chased them out again, only to see the policemen push Ye Xiangmin into the police car and drive away.

Ye Rongqiu returned to the living room in a daze. The female relatives in the room were crying. Ye Huachun punched the pillar and cursed: "Turtle son!"

No one has touched the rich delicacies on the table, but now, no one is interested in touching them.A wonderful New Year's Eve was completely destroyed by unexpected changes.

Ye Rongqiu sat down on the sofa, twisted his clothes tightly with his slender fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Huang... three..."
