Several people came out in the dark and talked to each other in the yard of the textile factory. Dr. Li and Elder Hou would ask the Public Security Bureau or Liu Guojian to visit Wang Yu's house tomorrow. The textile factory manager transferred the rickshaw in his car to pull the two back to the church. Editor-in-chief Zheng and Qi Yunlu walked along the street together and went home under the dim street lights.

"Editor Zheng, what are you doing when you go to the textile factory so late? Comfort Lao Zhang? Find news?" Qi Yunlu asked with a smile.

Editor-in-chief Zheng smiled and said, "Everything. I heard that something happened to Lao Zhang and Lao Wang. As the editor-in-chief of Longchuan Business Daily, why don't I come to see them quickly? But as Dr. Li and the others said, the Elders agreed to the government to check taxes, so I can't stab Lao Zhang and Lao Wang in the back? They said that they were suspected of smuggling opium? Several people in the Elders are our advertising customers, haha. So I guess there is no headline news for us."

"Yes, Lao Li withdrew. Lao Zhang dares to fight against Song Zuo Tie Dian alone? That's a giant." Qi Yunlu shook her head and smiled bitterly, and then joked: "Then have you made any big news recently? What elections are you talking about every day? The Church United Primary School has become a military camp?"

"There is news! I got a headline today!" Editor-in-chief Zheng laughed.

"What news? Let me tell you first?" Qi Yunlu asked curiously.

As the editor-in-chief Zheng walked, he said, "My pocket watch is slow for fifteen minutes a day. It's useless to repair it. I really can't stand it anymore. I want to change it. This afternoon, my inner man, children and servants, went shopping in the newly opened Western watch shop in the county. So there was no one in my house. I came back from dinner at Sany Central Street at 6 o'clock in the evening. When I entered the gate, I saw that someone actually nailed a white cat to death on the door of my house! I wiped it! Five foreign nails! All the limbs were nailed into my wooden board, and one in my heart was inserted, making it like Jesus' crucifixion!"

Qi Yunlu was shocked and shouted: "Someone killed your cat? This is a threat to you!"

Editor-in-chief Zheng pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Bad. Lao Wang, the neighbor on the left of my house, is a boat owner, and he is often away from home. As a result, his five or six children are negligent in discipline and are frantically chasing every day. They either climb the wall or climb trees. Follow their trees, they walk along the wall and play on the roof, and steal the fruits from the fruit trees planted in my house to eat. Once, they climbed over the wall and pulled me the orchids I raised. Look, if outsiders climbed over the wall and entered my yard, why did I lock inside and outside and didn't lose anything? I guess the thing that nailed the cat was done by these little kids."

"Then let your cat die in vain?" Qi Yunlu asked.

Editor-in-chief Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Or what if I'm sure it was done by my neighbor's kid? That's not my cat. It's the cat from Lao Zhao's house in the silk and satin bank next door to the right. The cat often sneaks to my house because my inner friend sometimes gives it delicious food and expects it to scare away the mice in my kitchen."

"You mean the little bastard from your neighbor's house on your left nailed the cat from your neighbor's house on the right to death on your door?" Qi Yunlu scratched her head in confusion and said, "But what does this have to do with headlines? Can neighbors hate being headlines?"

"I spent four o'clock to buy the headlines." Editor-in-chief Zheng smiled and then reminded: "Don't talk nonsense to others."

As he said, he explained, "I went to the next door to the right and gave the boy from the silk shop five dollars, two dollars to compensate the cat; three dollars to buy the cat's corpse. Later, he admitted that the cat was mine. Then he went to the next door to the left and told his house that their children ran away to my house to make trouble again and nailed the door. As a result, Lao Wang beat a few boys on the left, but no one admitted it, but Lao Wang was a good man, so he immediately compensated my door a lot. So I spent a total of four dollars."

"What do you mean? In addition, what kind of cat can be worth five oceans? A foreign cat?" Qi Yunlu asked in confusion.

"It doesn't matter! The crucifix cat is still nailed on my door. I hope the weather will be better tomorrow. Then I find a photo studio to come to my house with a camera to take a photo for me. The headline of the next issue of Longchuan Business Daily is "Speak for justice! Bandits revenge! Cats die tragically! Editor-in-chief is grief and angry! Go to work with a gun! I'm afraid!" Editor-in-chief said, laughing proudly and asked, "How is it? Is it enough to catch the eye?"

"That's so great! You are such a bunch of great people!" Qi Yunlu gave a thumbs up, looking horrified.

====================================

Wednesday at 11:00 pm.

Qi Yunlu's home in Longchuan is not far from the center of the county town, but on the bustling commercial street. In front of a four-story Western building, he greeted the guard, climbed up the ladder on the side wall of the stairs, and climbed to the fourth floor before opening the built-in Western door lock.

When you open the door, a candle was lit on the corridor in the door. You can see that the corridor is far from the length of the building that looks from below, but is only a very short section and is sealed by the wall. There are three doors on both sides of the left and right. Next to the door is a beautiful large wooden sign with a line of large characters inlaid with: "Longchuan Hong Kong Global International Construction Company".

This place is naturally Qi Yunlu’s small company and home.

Because his wife and children are not local, he regards the company as his home.

Hearing the door outside, a man dressed in his subordinate opened the door, holding a candlestick in his hand. When he saw Qi Yunlu, he quickly said, "Boss, you are just back! It's midnight!"

"Yes, there are many things." Qi Yunlu sighed.

"Boss, that boss Lin Liuming came at 9 o'clock in the evening and has been waiting for you, in your office!" The subordinate said in an incredible tone. After all, although Lin Liuming is Qi Yunlu's current big customer, Qi Yunlu told his subordinates to be polite to Lin Liuming, it was never before that he had to wait for Qi Yunlu to come back if he didn't leave.

After hurriedly entering his office, Qi Yunlu saw Lin Liuming lying on a long rattan chair with a sofa-shaped wicker chair under his desk, resting his head on Qi Yunlu's high price to declare his taste. The tea table in front of him was filled with teacups, teapots, fruit peels and melon seed shells, and even the candles were almost burned out and extinguished.

"Oh, what time is it? Do you have to see me if you have something to do? Will you say no tomorrow?" Qi Yunlu took the candlestick from her hands and put it on the coffee table, and woke Lin Liuming up.

"Of course I'll come to you for something, and I'll come to take a nap here if I'm fine?" Lin Liuming reluctantly changed from lying to sitting, rubbing his eyes and yawning several times.

Qi Yunlu quickly lit up the candle, then turned around and asked his subordinates to add hot water to make new tea for Lin Liuming.

"Don't work hard, I'll leave after I finish my work." Lin Liuming stopped Qi Yunlu from being polite and asked Qi Yunlu to close the door, leaving only two people in the room.

Seeing Lin Liuming take out a small glass bottle from his arms, and in front of him, he raised his head and drank the black liquid inside in one sip. Qi Yunlu smiled and said, "Lao Lin, haven't you quit smoking? Why are you drinking opium again?"

"Quit smoking? Of course, I have to be a member of parliament. But I am water, and I don't smoke, I just drink it." Lin Liuming drank the opium tincture solvent and his expression was refreshed.

Then he asked Qi Yunlu to sit beside him, took out another envelope from his arms and handed it to Qi Yunlu, and said, "I highly recommend you to Fang Bingsheng. Fang Bingsheng also believes that there must be an insider in the Presbyterian Church as an eyeliner, and I think you are a good person. Today I will ask me to give you fifty yuan to calculate the reward. In the future, if they have any things or actions in the Presbyterian Church, report to him immediately."

"Fifty yuan? Fang Bingsheng is so rich!" Qi Yunlu's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth smiled. He opened the envelope and pulled out the things inside. His smile immediately stiffened on his face. He shook the two large-denomination blue banknotes in his hand and asked in surprise: "Lao Lin, did you get the wrong envelope? It's only twenty yuan!"

Lin Liuming sneered and said, "How can you give me as much as you say? I'll give you money. How hard it is, you have to give me some tea."

"What kind of tea costs thirty yuan!" Qi Yunlu shouted angrily and anxiously.

Lin Liuming smiled and said, "Hey, the rules are all like this. It would be nice to pluck your hair by the geese, but it would be a waste of money anyway. Put it away and tell me what the guys in the Presbyterian Church are doing today?"

Qi Yunlu seemed not afraid to be serious with Lin Liuming. She sighed and put the money in her wallet helplessly, and told everything about Zhang Qijie and Li Guangxi who saw today.

"What? Liu Guojian wants to take the opportunity to rob Zhang Qijie? This guy is poisonous enough. He is actually hiding this from us. He wants to treat our foreign medicine guild and railway company as his gun envoy!" Lin Liuming was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.

"What? It turns out that I was stuffing a snake into someone's children's book bag. I'm sorry, this person named Fang is very poisonous." Hearing how Fang Bingsheng dealt with Li Guangxi, even Lin Liuming was shocked. Fang Bingsheng would not tell them about these things.

Later, he said that Editor Zheng also went to see Zhang Qijie in the evening. Lin Liuming smiled and said, "Editor Zheng? He still cares about Zhang Qijie and the others. In the evening, Weng Quanguang's idiot even went to Fang Bingsheng and said that he had done Editor Zheng on the way, which was considered to give extra efforts to the Democratic comrades. Old Zheng, the literati hooligan, was also scared?"
