Chapter 8: Life for Life (Part 1)

When Li Qingxiang took out the treasure, Yi Mochen almost laughed because it was a mud ball.

Li Qingxiang carefully placed the mud ball on the table and asked: Brother Yi, do you know what it is?

Yi Mochen smiled and said: Master Xiang, are you teasing me again? Isn’t this just a pile of mud? You can’t tell me that this piece of mud was taken out of a dragon’s nest, right?

Li Qingxiang smiled slightly, took out a knife, and carefully scraped the mud ball down layer by layer. When it was about to be finished, Yi Mochen saw some silver-white light flashing in it. He immediately understood and blurted out: Silver Snow Clam!?

Li Qingxiang put down his knife: You are sure of the goods.

Yi Mochen approached the soon-to-be-scraped mud ball, looked at the silver-colored snow clam in it through the shallow surface, smelling the fragrance coming from it, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Yi Mochen asked: Master Xiang, where did you get the silver snow clams? As far as I know, the last time I discovered the silver snow clams was more than 300 years ago.

Li Qingxiang didn't say anything, just drank tea, looking proud.

Yi Mochen said again: This is priceless, and it is still a living thing, not a real thing.

At this time the door opened, Li Yunfan pushed the door open and poured water carefully with a kettle.

Yi Mochen quickly protected the mud ball with his hands and blamed Li Yunfan: Don’t you know how to take the cup over and pour it down? Boiling water hurts the Yinxue Clam. Even if it is a little hot, this thing will die. If it dies, it will be worthless!

Li Yunfan looked at Yi Mochen with hatred and asked him with his eyes: Have you forgotten what you did?

Yi Mochen turned a blind eye to Li Yunfan's eyes because he was now focused on this silver snow clam, because this thing is indeed a treasure, a real treasure. In the history of Northeast China, five were found with evidence.

Snow clams are forest frogs, but this silver snow clam is different. Ordinary forest frogs can hibernate for five months, while this silver snow clams will come out to move for one month a year, and they will sleep in the soil for the rest of the time, and the place where they sleep must be next to ginseng, so the chance of finding the silver snow clams is generally higher if people dig ginseng.

Silver snow clams are divided into two types: dry and work. What they do means to die if they are dug out. There is no way to dry them on the spot. After drying, they can be directly used as medicine. It is effective in treating tuberculosis. It is almost cured by the disease. It can also be ground into powder and added to the medicinal materials to burn them, and made into incense to treat bronchitis.

The living silver snow clams are even more precious. The mucus secreted from the body can treat burns, relieve snake venom, and smell the fragrance emitted every day to relieve asthma and prolong life. If the living is boiled directly, it can treat eye diseases, which is what Western medicine calls cataracts.

Yi Mochen looked closer for a long time, raised his eyes and asked with a smile: Master Xiang, how did this thing come about?

Li Qingxiang drank tea and said with a smile: Brother Yi, you know the rules.

I understand, I understand. Yi Mochen returned to his usual appearance and brought the smile of a businessman. Master Xiang, please offer a price.

Li Yunfan couldn't help it, coughed and kicked Yi Mochen: Are you not saving Tang Qianlin's son?

Before Yi Mochen could speak, Li Qingxiang asked first: What does it mean? Whose son? What happened?

Faced with Li Qingxiang's series of questions, Li Yunfan did not answer, but said to Yi Mochen: Your friend, and it happened to your family, please explain it yourself.

Yi Mochen looked at Li Qingxiang's questioning eyes and told the whole story.

After hearing this, Li Qingxiang looked at Li Yunfan: The sun has hit the west? Have the traitors learned to save people?

Facing his father's sarcasm, Li Yunfan did not argue because without knowing his identity, no matter how he explained it, it was meaningless.

Li Qingxiang took his contemptuous eyes away from his son's face and asked Yi Mochen again: The Tang Qianlin you mentioned is really a slaughter?

Yi Mochen nodded: It’s true.

Li Qingxiang thought for a while, then asked Li Yunfan: Hello, what is that secret search class for?

Li Yunfan said: According to the Japanese, it is to investigate various mysterious unsolved incidents.

Li Qingxiang said: Isn’t that similar to what the arrester did?

Maybe, so I recommended Tang Qianlin, but the Secret Search Class was just established and urgently needed personnel. The Japanese didn't seem interested in Tang Qianlin because they didn't understand what the snare was. Li Yunfan stood on the side and explained, I said just now that the person the Japanese value most is you.

Li Qingxiang's brain reacted very quickly: I understand what you mean. Even if Tang Qianlin becomes a member of the Secret Search Course, the Japanese may not have used the Aphrodisiac to save his son.

Yi Mochen nodded and said: If you join the Sesou Class as a consultant with the exchange of acetamines, the Japanese would definitely agree.

Li Qingxiang sneered: Do you really think the Japanese are stupid? Don’t they doubt the purpose of our genus Abrasive bacteria? You two, one is the head of the investigation department of the Security Bureau, and the other is a well-known foreign businessman in the world. How can your brain be so simple?

How could Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen not think of this? This was originally a play that the two deliberately acted. Li Yunfan was too clear about his father's personality, arrogant and arrogant, so he had to put stupidity in front of him clearly and let him solve this problem.

Yi Mochen said: Master Xiang, then what should you do? Life is at stake.

Li Qingxiang slowly drank tea, and finally put down the cup after a long time. The expression on his face seemed to have made a very important decision. Then he looked at Li Yunfan and said: Go back and tell your section chief, and said that although I am willing to be your consultant, I am sick and inexplicably ill.

Li Yunfan was stunned: Then what?

Li Qingxiang said coldly: Then? Then you just use your brain, get out of here, and go and write back to the Japanese.

Li Yunfan nodded and glanced at Yi Mochen: OK, I understand.

After Li Yunfan left, Yi Mochen asked: Master Xiang, what do you want to do? Pretending to be sick is not a solution.

Li Qingxiang sat there and looked at the door: You said just now that life is at stake, and we have to race against time in just a few days, not to mention that he is still a child, and the child is the future of our China.

Yi Mochen nodded, but still wondered what Li Qingxiang wanted to do.

Li Qingxiang looked at Yi Mochen: Brother Yi, I will go to your trip first and meet Tang Qianlin.

Yi Mochen, who was confused, had to nod: OK, let's leave now.

When he came to Yi Mochen's mansion cellar, Li Qingxiang changed his past cynicism and looked at Tang Qianlin who was holding his son with a scrutiny look. After a while, he said: Are you the one who arrested Tang Qianlin?

Tang Qianlin nodded: Who is this big brother if he didn’t ask me?

Logically speaking, Tang Qianlin should call Li Qingxiang a senior, but Li Qingxiang's appearance doesn't look like a senior? He is completely a middle-aged playboy.

Li Qingxiang clasped his fists and said: Li Qingxiang is down.

When Tang Qianlin heard this, he immediately let go of Tang Zicheng. Although he knew it was impolite, he still looked at Li Qingxiang carefully, and then said: Senior, are you the goods chasing master Li Qingxiang of Guandong?

Li Qingxiang smiled and said: Why? Don’t believe it?

Yi Mochen suddenly said to the side: He is also Li Yunfan's father.

Tang Qianlin immediately clasped his fists and said: Tang Qianlin has met his senior. I didn’t know that he was a senior before, so I offended him verbally.

Li Qingxiang nodded, smiled at Tang Zicheng who was standing beside Tang Qianlin, and then turned to Yi Mochen and said: Didn’t you say that there are still some things to do? Go and I will talk to Xiaotianjun.

Yi Mochen nodded helplessly and said to Tang Qianlin: Let's go, I'll take you to see He Chenxue.

Tang Qianlin didn't know the intention of Li Qingxiang to appear here, so he had to say goodbye to Li Qingxiang and lead Tang Zicheng and Yi Mochen to leave.

After the three of them left the cellar, Li Qingxiang walked to Odajun, who was still checking information at his desk, and knocked on the table with his hand. After attracting his attention, he said: I ask you, is it only five days to live if you get infected with that kind of bacteria?

Xiaotianjun looked at Li Qingxiang and nodded silently.

Li Qingxiang smiled: Five days are enough.

Oda Jun looked puzzled and didn't understand what Li Qingxiang was going to do.

Tang Qianlin and Tang Zicheng were sitting in Yi Mochen's car. Tang Zicheng was very interested in everything in the car. He touched this from time to time and looked closer to see that one. He was not nervous at all and only had five days to live.

Suddenly, Tang Zicheng coughed, and Tang Qianlin asked nervously: Where are you feeling uncomfortable?

Tang Zicheng pointed at his throat and said for a long time: Dad, I was just choking with saliva.

Tang Qianlin hugged Tang Zicheng and said: Remember, don’t be so curious in the future. Most of the time, curiosity will kill people.

Tang Zicheng looked at his father in confusion and asked: Dad, aren’t you saying that curiosity is the motivation to find answers?

Tang Qianlin smiled bitterly and said: Time to part.

After saying that, Tang Qianlin asked again: Where are we going now?

Yi Mochen, who was driving, looked at Tang Qianlin from the rearview mirror: Horse farm.

Tang Qianlin asked: He Chenxue is in the horse farm?

Since the Japanese founded Manchukuo, they have started operating racecourses in Harbin, Fengtian, Anshan, Fushun, Andong and Yingkou in the situation of folk clubs. Later, they formulated and promulgated the Horse Racing Law, and classified the racecourse as state-owned by Manchukuo. Yi Mochen, who was driving, explained in detail that at the beginning, in order to quickly expand the horse racing industry, the Japanese asked Manchukuo to come forward and find gangs to support the horse racing industry, and chose to find Baxiangmen. At that time, Baxiangmen was not strong enough, but was just a small sect after the reform of the escort agency, but gradually grew through the racecourse.

At that time, Ma Tong, the head of the Baxiang Sect, was a good friend of General Ma Zhanshan. Like General Ma, he was forced to cooperate with the Japanese under the situation to strengthen the anti-Japanese forces in private. However, when General Ma left Qiqihar with his men and raised the banner of anti-Japanese resumption, the Japanese were worried about Ma Tong and instigated the Baxiang Sect military advisor Liu Mouzheng to assassinate him and support Liu Mouzheng to become the second leader.

Although Liu Mouzheng was a military advisor and was smart, he was not decisive in his work, so the Japanese were very disappointed with him and gradually took back the management rights of the racecourse from the Baxiangmen, and the Baxiangmen began to decline. Yi Mochen continued to tell the story until two years ago when He Chenxue married into the Baxiangmen, the Baxiangmen began to decline and become prosperous. Therefore, the outside world called He Chenxue the real military advisor of the Baxiangmen.

Tang Qianlin listened silently, and He Chenxue's appearance gradually appeared in his mind.

Until now, he doesn't know what this woman does? Why did she get close to herself at the beginning?
