Chapter 254
At this time, Yan Xue and Gu Rumei walked in one after another.
Gu Rumei laughed crisply and said, "Sir, I went to Xishuangbanna, and walked through hundreds of miles of forests. I cut two trees in the deep mountains and old forests. In addition, I also cut one on the Lotus Peak of Tiantai Mountain. See if these are spiritual trees."
While speaking, she took out three pieces of tree trunks from the storage ring and threw them gently on the ground. Each piece of tree trunk was four feet long. The thickest piece was three feet in diameter; the thinnest piece was about about a foot. Fortunately, there was a storage ring, otherwise it would be difficult to carry such a large piece of wood back.
Qin Di first looked at the thickest part and said, "This is the Sky-Looking Tree, it grows very tall, right?"
"Yes, I guess it can be 70 meters! The section I intercepted is 33 meters away from the ground. If it weren't for a flying sword and I wanted to cut it down, it wouldn't be easy."
Yan Xue chuckled, "Are you stupid? You won't cut down the entire tree and then intercept another section?"
Gu Rumei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't I think the tree is beautiful and I can't bear to cut it off, so I only cut off one piece on it."
Qin Di smiled and said, "Amei did it right! Wait a few years later, the Wangtian Tree is a national first-class protected tree species!"
Gu Rumei asked: "Sir, is this Lingmu? If not, it would be a pity."
Qin Di said: "It's true that it is spiritual wood, but it is not a good material for making zithers."
Gu Rumei was a little disappointed: "Where are the other two?"
Qin Di looked at it one by one, picked up the thinnest piece, and said, "This is iron wood, which has grown for at least five hundred years. If you use it to make a zither, you can only get a low-level spiritual zither."
Then he pointed to a piece of tree and said, "This is a cypress tree. It does not come from Lotus Mountain, but from Guoqing Temple. You cut down someone's 'Shenzhen Temple', right?"
Gu Rumei blushed: "Sir, how do you know?"
"Because I've been there and talked with monks in the temple! They said that this tree has lived for 1,800 years."
"This...this...sir, you won't punish me, right?"
"Hmph! If you cut it, you will cut it down. It's useless for those monks to guard the spirit tree! With this trunk, I can help you cut out the top-grade spirit zither, so that your skills will grow faster."
Gu Rumei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and said with a smile: "Sir, I followed the Spirit Searching Art you passed on and walked around Tiantai Mountain. Later, I discovered something in Baizhang Pit. There was a place at the bottom of the pit that was very rich in spiritual energy, but I couldn't find the specific source."
Qin Di was excited when he heard this: "Okay! When I have time, I will go and see it myself. The wood will be thrown to me. Making a zither is a meticulous job, at least two or three years."
"Three years? It's so long?"
"Do you think it's that easy to refine a treasure?"
"Sir, can I watch from the side when you make a zither?"
"Yes, if you are willing, I will pass on your skills in making zithers."
After a while, Yan Xue said, "Sir, I received a letter. The Military Control Commission's Webmaster Wang wants to visit you."
Qin Di waved his hand: "If you don't see me, I'm sick and have eye disease and can't see the light."
"Sir, do you have any objections to this person?"
"This person will cause trouble."
Even though he said that, Wan Tianmu came here soon after!
After all, Qin Di’s residence was not completely separated from the outside world. As the military commander, Wan Tianmu knew just by asking Chen Shouting.
Wang Tianmu, whose original name was Wang Renqiang, was from Northeast China. He was tall and had martial arts skills. He had the strength of the early Ming Jin Dynasty. In his early years, he studied at Baoding Military Academy and the Northeast Military Academy. He worked in the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army. As an agent of the Military Affairs Bureau, he was known as the "Four Great Kings" together with Chen Gongshu and Zhao Lijun.
He served as the director of the Zhejiang Higher Supervision Department and also served as the secretary of the embassy abroad. Later, he organized an anti-Japanese traitor group with patriotic students, eliminating a group of traitors who were involved in business and political circles. In 1932, he was the first stationmaster of the Tianjin Station of the Military Commission, and joined forces with Chen Gongshu, who was then the webmaster of Peking. In 1938, he was transferred to the sitemaster of the Magic City and assassinated Chen Lu, the foreign minister of the pseudo-reforming government.
Wang Tianmu is about the same age as Qin Di. He is wearing a suit and a top hat on his head. When he sees Qin Di, he looks neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Qin, I am here to visit you. One is to follow Mr. Qing's instructions to protect the safety of you and Gexian, and the other is to ask for help. Can you give us some support?"
Qin Di was displeased and asked, "What kind of funding do you want?"
Wang Tianmu said: "The Military Control Commission lacks safe houses. I heard that you are a real estate developer with famous demons. Can you provide a few houses? Don't worry, we just stay there. When the Anti-Japanese War is victorious, the property will still be yours."
Although Qin Di didn't like this person, Wang Tianmu had not rebelled yet and was still making contributions to the Republic of China, so he could not drive this person out rashly, so he said, "Website Manager Wang came to the door in person, I always want to give you face. Let's do this, I donate some funds and ask you to buy a house by yourself. You can buy any one you like."
He took out the check book, picked up the pen and wrote 1 million yuan, tore it off and handed it over.
Wang Tianmu seemed not very satisfied and said, "Mr. Qin, the newly bought house is easily found. I still want to lend your old house."
When Qin Di heard this, he took back the check and said, "Since that's the case, I'll write a note to the manager below. You go find the person 'Youlong', but please don't force him, because Youlong is Mr. Du's person." Then he wrote a note in a few seconds.
Wang Tianmu took the note and was worried about the 1 million check, so he was slow to leave.
Qin Di drove people unceremoniously: "President Wang, I still have something to do, otherwise, we will get together again next day?"
Wang Tianmu had no choice but to get up and leave.
He went to find the manager Youlong and handed the note written by Qin Di to the other party.
Youlong was born in the Qing Gang and was covered in tattoos. He followed a few gangsters. He was not afraid that the other party was the head of the Military Control Commission. He led him to find several relatively dilapidated houses and sent him away.
Wang Tianmu was resentful and felt humiliated by Qin Di.
Two days later, Qin Di lived in the evening and was surrounded by a group of men in black. This time, two teams of men in black came, with a total of 108 people, all machine guns and grenades used. The gunshots were like beans, and the sounds were mixed with explosions, which lasted half an hour.
The people living around were frightened and fled in panic, and some people looked up from the upper floor.
"What's going on? Did the Japanese break into the concession?"
"Is there anyone who wants to hunt for gunfire so much? I guess there is no way anyone can escape from that house."
