The First Volume The Empty Spirit Chapter 68 Treating Chicken Feathers as Magic Arrows

  Everything seemed to have gone smoothly, the four soldiers who were beaten up still had their guns at the door of the inn. Finally, they met Deputy Zhang on his way back, returned the bullets and gun holster, and received the tea money from Deputy Zhang. Everything was as if nothing had happened, Deputy Zhang just took a walk with Wang Ya-zu outside.

  For the next six days, Wang Ya-zu did not go to see Deputy Zhang again, nor did he go to Ba Ye's place. He was waiting for news, waiting for the news of the military supplies being handed over. Deputy Zhang and Yang Shuai-chang had recently become celebrities in Shanghai, with the Garrison Command and the Shanghai Municipal Government spending money together, allowing these two people to indulge in luxury and pleasure, their treatment almost on par with that of foreigners with status.

  All attention was focused on Deputy Zhang and Master Yang, while other aspects became very relaxed. The eighth master successfully completed the transaction with the merchant designated by Deputy Zhang. Half of the goods were paid in gold, and half were paid in various mountain products from Northeast China, which happened to be a large batch of mountain products that the merchant had pressed at a low price.

  The transaction was successful, and the Eighth Master received gold and mountain goods. Zhang Shao's men used their own channels to transport 3,000 people's military supplies onto the ship, which were directly transported into Guanzhong. In today's situation, neither the central government nor the alliance of local warlords dare to offend Zhang Shao. The Central Plains are in a state of turmoil, and Zhang Shao's 300,000 Northeastern Army is not entering Guan.

  Upon receiving the news of a successful transaction, Wang Ya Zu finally smiled. If this deal was a conspiracy by Zhang Deputy from start to finish, then Wang Ya Zu's side had already prepared for it. He would report to Shi An Guo that he had set a trap to lure Zhang Deputy in and figure out what these two were trying to do on Shanghai Beach. In this way, no matter what happened, it was just Wang Ya Zu's incompetence. As for Eighth Master, Wang Ya Zu believed that even if he fell, Eighth Master would at most only lose some small wealth.

  Wang Yaozu was called into the office by Shi Ankou again. It's said that there is news from Nanjing. Wang Yaozu immediately asked, "Old Shi, has the reward from Nanjing arrived? If so, I suggest everyone in the company go to Yi Pin Xiang for a good meal."

  Yi Pin Xiang is a good place, it's not a place where ordinary people can afford to eat. Wang Yaozu thinks that since there are big rewards above, they must have a good meal to reward everyone. Of course, going to drink Huajiu is temporarily impossible.

  "As soon as you get the money, you want to spend it. Yaozu, not everyone in the company is like you, getting money and spending it right away. You're not young anymore, why don't you think about saving some money to buy a house and then marry a wife? That's the only way you can truly establish yourself in Shanghai. Forget it, I'm wasting my breath talking to you about this. Anyway, Yaozu, if you want to have fun, go ahead and do it yourself. But I absolutely won't let you guys use company money to indulge in extravagance again. Now, let's talk business. Minister Chen from Nanjing personally gave the order for us to investigate and take good care of the two people from the Northeast Army who came to Shanghai."

  "Take care of those two? Or was it Minister Chen's personal order. Old Stone, this is not easy to handle. The Garrison Command and the Shanghai Municipal Government have already treated those two as if they were foreign masters, do you want me to fawn on them? Then you'd better find someone else, I'm not capable of doing that, and I'll only mess things up."

  Wang Yaozu immediately refused, flattering and fawning was something he really couldn't do. Moreover, Wang Yaozu was also worried that after meeting with Deputy Zhang several times, the people in the Garrison Command would catch wind of it.

  "I didn't let you go to flatter and fawn. I don't believe that just by eating, drinking and having fun, the Garrison Commander's Office and the Municipal Government can buy off those two people. Now the national situation is getting more and more tense, Minister Chen's order may be General Chiang's intention. From the beginning, I didn't believe in those two people, they came to Shanghai just for fun, they must have come with a purpose. The Garrison Commander's Office not only lacks courage but also got the direction wrong. Thinking of getting rid of those two by eating, drinking and having fun, if it were that easy to deal with them, General Zhang wouldn't have sent those two."

  Seok Ahn-gook is indeed formidable. He immediately gets to the point. Wang Yeo-joon, on the other hand, is making a sincere effort to listen carefully. It's as if he's attending Seok Ahn-gook's lecture. This matter can't have too many expressions, too much expression and Seok Ahn-gook will become suspicious right away.

  "What's the meaning of that old stone? The more you talk, the less I understand. You have to give me a bottom line. Since Zhang Shaozheng sent those two people, it can't be simple and will definitely conflict with our responsibilities." Wang Yaoyu needed a promise from Shi An'guo, an order, so that he could do things properly. With this feather, he could use it as a token of authority.

  "Try to satisfy them. Coming to Shanghai, there's a 70% chance they're here to buy some goods, whether it's controlled or banned items, no problem, even if they want opium. But everything has a bottom line, this bottom line is up to you to decide, for me, guns and ammunition are the bottom line, other things try to keep them hidden."

  Rarely seen on the surface."

  The chicken feathers have finally been obtained and can be used as a token of authority. Shi An Guo will never know about the transaction between him and Deputy Zhang, with Shi An Guo's consent, the materials needed by Deputy Zhang will be collected quickly with Eighth Master making an appearance and Wang Yaozu secretly helping. Of course, Wang Yaozu will also find ways to get Eighth Master to obtain more controlled goods, all of which can be sold at a high price on the black market.

  Shi An'guo had absolutely thought that Wang Ya'zu would take advantage of the situation for personal gain, but even if he knew about it, there was nothing he could do. Lè Xīn couldn't handle this kind of thing, and handing it over to Tiě Tóu and Máo Zǐ would only mess things up. Only Wang Ya'zu was capable of handling it properly. As for the benefits that Wang Ya'zu would gain from this, Shi An'guo considered it a reward for him. He believed that Wang Ya'zu absolutely wouldn't sell those supplies to people who shouldn't have them, especially **.

  It was settled like this, Wang Yaozu walked out of the office door, everything went smoothly. However, due to the previous chaos, Wang Yaozu had to ask Le Xin to reschedule the dinner at his home as previously agreed. As Wang Yaozu's mood gradually calmed down, he sat back in his seat and said to Le Xin: "Le big brother, there were some troubles a few days ago, so I can only postpone things, very sorry. Tonight I happen to be free, tonight I'll go to your house for dinner, won't it be inconvenient for your wife?"

  After so many days, everything has been peaceful and quiet. The other day, Wang Ya Zu seemed to be very troubled when no one was around. His spirit wasn't concentrated either, as if he was thinking about and worrying about other things, so Le Xin didn't say much. This time, Wang Ya Zu took the initiative again, which was actually a good thing for Le Xin. Le Xin nodded and said: "No problem at all. It's just some small dishes from home. I can prepare them quickly. Now it's only noon, your sister-in-law just finished her night shift yesterday, so buying vegetables is easy."

  Le Xin finished speaking and went to make a phone call. On the phone, he asked Di Wu Ya Duo to prepare some dishes, as Wang Yao Zu was going over for dinner that night. After Le Xin finished his phone call, Wang Yao Zu also had to make a phone call home to tell Wu Ma that he wouldn't be back for dinner that night.

  Yuexin's family lived in an ordinary courtyard, but this house was not rented, it belonged to the Shanghai Municipal Government. The original resident of this courtyard was a regimental commander of the Northern Warlord, who was killed in the Northern Expedition war. After the Northern Expedition army entered Shanghai, they carried out a purge of many people from the Northern Warlords, with the largest action being the confiscation of property, and the confiscated property belonged to the public.

  Shi An Guo and Yue Xin were both meritorious in the Northern Expedition, having made great contributions in the intelligence war against the Beiyang warlords. As a result, neither of them needed to rent houses outside, but instead directly entered public housing, where they didn't have to pay for anything except water and electricity fees.

  Le Xin's home was very simple, without any high-end sofas for foreigners, just ordinary wooden tables and chairs, and the wood was not purple sandalwood. Apart from the necessary furniture, there were no luxurious items, even the Buddha statues on the altar were just ordinary ceramic ones. Wang Ya Zu walked around to take a look when he was bored, then sat back in his own seat.

  Di wu ya zheng zai chu fang li chao cai, le xin de er zi le chen ze zai zuo zuo ye. Wang yao zu gang jin men de shi hou, le chen zui hen tian di jiao le sheng wang shu shu, dui yu wang yao zu de dao lai, le chen si hao kan tai gao xing, bei wang yao zu bao qi de le chen zai wang yao zu de er bian xiao sheng di shuo: "Wang shu shu, ni yi hou duo lai ji ci, shang yi ci ni yao lai mei lai, wo jia zhao de fan cai gen guo jie yi yang."

  Le Dun said this, of course, fearing that his father would hear it. Wang Ya Zu excitedly pinched Le Dun's little face and then put him on the ground. On the other side, Le Xin soon called out to her son to go do his homework first. Di Wu Ya was busy in the kitchen, and they still had to wait a while before eating.

  Wang Yaoyu sat back in his chair, and Le Xin had already brewed the tea. It wasn't the best tea leaves, as the good stuff was hard to come by in Shanghai. Wang Yaoyu didn't mind this, everyone has their own way of living, and Le Xin couldn't possibly be like him, trying every means to make money and then finding opportunities to indulge in luxuries. Besides the hot tea, there were also some melon seeds on the table, just enough to snack on while chatting and passing the time until Diwu Ya finished cooking in the kitchen.

  "Hey, Le Dage, have you heard? The third legion of the 'Rebel Army' is quite lively. Only He Lao has such skills, not only did he make a large group of miscellaneous soldiers obedient, but also poached many people from the powerful Northwestern Army. Wine, women, wealth and status are indeed good things!"

  Wang Yaizu finished speaking and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. On this day's visit, Wang Yaizu also thought of such a relaxed opening to start chatting. The Silent War Volume 1: Empty Spirit Chapter 68 ?? Treating Chicken Feathers as Command Arrows
