Xia Ziqing couldn't help but took the pistol and stroked it gently with both hands, as if he was playing with a work of art. He gently turned the wheel and found that there was a shiny brass bullet inside. He was surprised: "This bullet casing
Why isn’t it paper?”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "This is my latest gun design. The bullets are made of metal cartridges. This kind of bullet is not easy to make, and I don't have many, so I can only give you thirty rounds."
Xia Ziqing reacted, and he said embarrassedly: "Such a good gun should be specially customized for you. How can I accept it easily?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Brother Xia, didn't you say that we will be a family from now on? Why are you so polite? Just accept it."
Xia Ziqing wanted to refuse, but the more he watched, the more he liked it. He really couldn't put it down. Finally, he put away the gun in embarrassment and said: "Then I'll be disrespectful. Thank you Brother Fang for such a generous gift." As the two were talking, the carriage
They had arrived at their destination. They got off the carriage and found four guards standing in front of the command post in the east of the city.
"It seems that Uncle Wu is here. As long as he comes to the command post, the gate will become a double guard." Xia Ziqing smiled and pointed to the guard at the door. Fang Xiaoyu nodded and walked into the command post with Xia Ziqing.
Several guards saw the two men's lieutenant colonel rank and did not stop them. Besides, they also knew Xia Ziqing, Marshal Xia Jun's adjutant.
As soon as the two came to the yard, they heard loud shouting inside: "You idiot, I asked you to buy me McDonald's fast food but you didn't buy it. It's a restaurant and not a brothel. How could it close so early?" Xia Ziqing raised his eyebrows.
The door curtain walked in and said with a smile: "I said Fifth Uncle, you are so angry so early in the morning." The man said: "Ziqing, why are you here?"
Xia Ziqing said: "Fifth Uncle, I brought someone to your place for something." After that, he pointed at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "This is Fang Xiaoyu. He has been in some trouble recently. He happens to be under the jurisdiction of Fifth Uncle, so I came to ask for your help."
." Fang Xiaoyu also quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, fifth uncle." The man looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Are you Fang Xiaoyu? Yes, you are both talented and capable. No wonder my two nieces always praise you in front of me."
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Xiaoyu knew who this person was. He was Xia Jun's fifth son, Xia Chengzhi. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just heard from my fifth uncle that he didn't get the food ordered at my shop? In fact, I can't blame the orderly. I only have
It's open during dining hours, but it's closed now." Xia Chengzhi said: "The food in your fast food restaurant is really good, I feel like my mouth tastes tasteless if I don't eat it all day."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Since Fifth Uncle likes it, I will ask them to deliver it to Fifth Uncle on time every day." "How embarrassing is that?" Although Xia Chengzhi said he was embarrassed, his face was already smiling.
This fifth uncle is really interesting. Fang Xiaoyu looked a little funny, but he knew that Xia Chengzhi, who looked vulgar in appearance, was definitely not simple. Otherwise, he would not be able to secure his position as the leader of the four city guards in the crowded capital. Xia Chengzhi said:
"If you have any questions, just tell me and I will definitely help." Fang Xiaoyu explained the matter again. Xia Chengzhi slapped the table and said, "There are still people who are so bold. Wait until I bring some people with you." Fang Xiaoyu promised him every day.
After delivering delicious meals, Xia Chengzhi also took an active interest in Fang Xiaoyu's matter and immediately said to handle it as soon as possible.
The east of the city is the most prosperous place in the entire capital. In the capital, the south of the city is the civilian residential area, the north of the city is the aristocratic residential area, the west of the city is the poor residential area, and the east of the city is the commercial district. There are large and small commercial blocks everywhere, among which
Third Street is the most famous. The merchants here are the most powerful in the capital, and there are countless of them with various official backgrounds. The Fang family also has five shops here.
Ten o'clock in the morning is the busiest time here, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as crowded. Opposite Third Street, Fourth Street is a gathering area for small businessmen, and the lively hawking sounds here also come one after another. Suddenly there is a burst of shouting.
The sound interrupted the bustling here. Some city guard soldiers rushed over fiercely, waving whips to drive the crowd away. The people who were buying things immediately fled in all directions. Many merchants also quickly packed up their stalls to prevent being attacked by the city guards.
After being knocked down, the whole street suddenly became chaotic.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was following the city guards, smiled at Xia Ziqing and said, "How come we are like bandits entering the city." Xia Ziqing stretched his shoulders and said, "The city guards are always like this, even the Nancheng controlled by your Fang family is like this
, there’s no other way, just get used to it and you’ll be fine.”
"My niece and son-in-law, you have no experience in this area. If the city guards are not more aggressive, how can you maintain law and order in the capital?" Xia Chengzhi explained at the side. Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Xia Chengzhi and secretly thought that this person is really following the rules.
When she respectfully called him fifth uncle, he changed his name to his niece and son-in-law, as if he and Xia Tingyun were already married.
Wu Yu was cleaning up his shop when he suddenly found that the city guards had surrounded the door of his shop. A spy under Zhao Quan who was following Fang Xiaoyu pointed at the signboard of Wu Ji Grocery Store and said: "Master, this is it.
.”
Fang Xiaoyu looked up at the young man who was cleaning up the stall and said, "Who is the boss here?" Wu Yu straightened up and said, "I am." Fang Xiaoyu looked at him and said, "Are you Wu Feng or Wu Yu?" Wu Yu answered honestly.
He said: "I'm Wu Yu."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded to Xia Chengzhi, and Xia Chengzhi waved and said: "Come here, arrest him." At this time, another young man who looked very similar to Wu Yu ran out of the shop and said: "My lords, who are you?
Didn't we arrest the wrong person? We are all law-abiding traders and never do anything illegal." This young man is obviously Wu Yu's brother Wu Feng.
After listening to Wu Feng's defense, Tobur next to him sneered: "You never do anything illegal? Then let me ask you, where did the cement you sold here come from? Don't tell me that it came from
I bought it at Lanting Villa."
"Cement?" Wu Feng said in surprise: "I didn't sell it." Wu Yu pushed away his brother who was protecting him and stepped forward: "I sold the cement. If you want to arrest him, just arrest me alone." Xia Ziqing
He stepped forward and said: "Since you admit it, that's fine. Since you plead guilty, as long as you reveal who provided you with the cement, I can ask you to be given a lighter sentence."
Wu Yu said calmly: "No need, I will bear all the blame." Xia Chengzhi said: "If you don't tell me, I will have to close this shop and punish your brothers together. This is confusing the truth with falsehood.
It's a felony to pass it off as good and infringe on other people's patents." Wu Feng said anxiously: "Second brother, did you really sell those things?" Wu Yu nodded: "Yes, I sold them. If you didn't sell them, how would you have the money to buy them?
Those grains are just for me, and they have nothing to do with my eldest brother. If you want to arrest me, then arrest me."
Xia Chengzhi said: "It's not up to you. Since it is sold from your shop, everyone in this shop will be punished. Unless you provide the source of the goods, I can consider giving a lighter sentence." Wu Yu said: "You don't have to.
If you say too much, I won’t say it." Xia Chengzhi sneered and said, "Then I will have to close the store and arrest people."
At this moment, a loud shout came: "Stop, the person you are looking for is me." A young man in a robe quickly walked out of the crowd of onlookers and saluted Xia Chengzhi: "Sir, those cement
I did it, and I asked Brother Wu to sell it, so I will bear all the blame."
Wu Yu said anxiously: "Brother Deng, you don't have to be like this. I made the mistake and I will bear it." Looking at this scene, Fang Xiaoyu felt that this scene was so familiar. It was like the Japanese in those black-and-white movies depicting the anti-Japanese war in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
I asked the guerrillas, but there seems to be something wrong with this character. Why does he look like a Japanese character?
Seeing that Xia Chengzhi was about to arrest people, Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Fifth uncle, since they have admitted it, can you give me some face and hand over these people to me?" "This..." Xia
Cheng Zhi hesitated.
Xia Ziqing next to him accepted such a big gift from Fang Xiaoyu, so naturally he wanted to help Fang Xiaoyu speak. He approached Xia Chengzhi and whispered: "Fifth uncle, the marshal wants you to cooperate fully." Xia Chengzhi nodded: "Okay, that's it.
Leave it to you."
Fang Xiaoyu saluted, "Thank you, Fifth Uncle. I will definitely come to say thank you some other day." "Forget it." Xia Chengzhi waved his hand and left with the city guards. Xia Ziqing also said hello to Fang Xiaoyu and left together.
Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward with a smile and said: "Everyone is frightened. I apologize to you first." Wu Feng raised his hands and said: "If my guess is correct, you should be the famous Mr. Fang in the capital." Fang Xiaoyu said: "Then
They are all false names and not worth mentioning."
