Chapter 120: Playing riddles (please ask for the moon)
Hum.
Xiu Gongshen snorted coldly when he saw that Cheng Qianfan was only talking to He Xuelin and ignored him.
"Wait, I'll make you some wontons." He Xuelin said happily, glared at her husband, and went to work.
"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan saluted Xiu Gongshen with a smile and put the gift box in his hand on the coffee table, "How dare Qianfan forget you? This is the good tea I brought to you from Hangzhou."
"Hey, Weng Longsheng's tea." Xiu Gongshen looked at the tea can with a smile on his face, "This is not cheap."
Wenglongsheng is the leading tea brand in Hangzhou. It was founded in 1729, the seventh year of Yongzheng reign in the Qing Dynasty. The founder was Weng Yaoting, who was originally from Haining. The store was initially located in Meiden Gaoqiao, Hangzhou.
After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Weng moved his store to Qinghefang, a commercial district at that time, and expanded the store to a five-story house in order to develop his business. The lintel was decorated with a "lion ball" and a registered trademark.
.
Wenglongsheng Tea Hao has endured for a long time and is well-known at home and abroad.
The Fuchun tea specially made for "picking green tea in three fronts" is exquisitely roasted and has perfect color, aroma and taste, making it very popular.
Wenglongsheng Tea House’s Longjing Shifeng Tea has won the Panama Exposition Certificate.
Xiu Gongshen is a tea lover, so he naturally knows this time-honored tea shop in Hangzhou.
"A teacher named Yu knows that you like to drink tea, so he sent it to you and asked me to take you to taste it with the teacher." Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice.
These two cans of tea were indeed brought to him by Zhao Yansheng before he was about to leave, saying that Deputy Director Yu asked him to bring them back to Shanghai to meet an old friend whose name was extremely difficult to pronounce.
Yu Ping'an didn't say clearly who he was bringing it to.
Cheng Qianfan knew it well.
Xiu Gongshen took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan, smiled and said, "It seems that your trip to Hangzhou was quite fruitful."
Seeing that Cheng Qianfan was about to speak, Xiu Gongshen waved his hand, "You don't have to tell me, I just need to know that you are doing the right thing."
…
Cheng Qianfan had a doubt before. Yu Pingan's gift of tea meant that Yu Pingan and Xiu Gongshen knew each other.
However, it was not clearly told how to proceed.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan was thinking a lot about how to deal with his relationship with Xiu Gongshen, and whether he needed to selectively inform Xiu Gongshen about his trip to Hangzhou.
Therefore, he only talked about the good tea given by a teacher named Yu, and didn't say much more.
As expected, Xiu Gongshen immediately understood who Cheng Qianfan was talking about.
Then he stopped Cheng Qianfan from telling further.
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood that this was why Yu Pingan did not clearly tell him the inside story, but was not worried about how he would report the matter to Xiu Gongshen.
This box of tea is the carrier. There is no piece of paper between Yu Ping'an and Xiu Gongshen. In just a few words, the two sides have already completed the communication.
Yu Pingan knew how Xiu Gongshen would respond, and Xiu Gongshen did not disappoint Yu Pingan.
Cheng Qianfan somewhat understood, but also somewhat didn't understand.
What he understands is that through this incident, he can confirm that Xiu Gongshen is from the government. At least he has some kind of tacit understanding with the government and knows Yu Ping'an.
Xiu Gongshen himself may even be a member of the Secret Service.
In addition, Xiu Gongshen told Cheng Qianfan with this attitude that the two still maintained their previous teacher-student relationship and uncle-nephew relationship, pretending they did not know each other's identities.
What I don't understand is that Xiu Gongshen and Yu Ping'an played a riddle through these two boxes of tea. I'm afraid only these two people know what the riddle actually means.
"Qianfan, come and try the wontons made by my wife." He Xuelin brought a large bowl of cooked wontons over.
"It smells delicious." Cheng Qianfan took the chopsticks and ate a wonton. He grinned because it was so hot that he still yelled, "Master, where's the vinegar? Here's a plate of vinegar."
"This child, be careful of getting burned."
"Wu Ma, go get a dish of vinegar for Qianfan."
Xiu Gongshen and He Xuelin looked at Cheng Qianfan's indecent eating appearance with warm eyes and warm smiles on their faces.
…
Fang Muheng was in a bad mood.
He never expected that ‘Zhu Yuan’, who in his eyes was a generous, tragic and unyielding anti-Japanese comrade, would actually be a traitor who defected to the Japanese.
The Red Party seemed to want to use the execution of the traitor Zhu Yuan to express to the outside world their determination to resist Japan and eradicate traitors and traitors.
Therefore, not only did the Red Party not conceal the matter, although it could not be said to be widely spread, it essentially did not cover it up and allowed it to spread among the public.
Some tabloids reported the incident in a sarcastic manner.
Therefore, Fang Muheng also quickly learned the news that 'Zhu Yuan' was actually a traitor and had been executed by the Red Party.
This made Fang Muheng, who had been shouting for "Zhu Yuan" and praised him as a good Chinese man, quite embarrassed.
Even the younger sister Tang Xiaoye said sarcastically that if the Red Party members had not received intelligence from outside the customs and confirmed that "Zhu Yuan" was a traitor, then my brother would have helped the tyrants and helped the Japanese a lot.
The little girl's teasing remarks made Fang Muheng feel even more depressed, so he went out to get drunk.
This is a relatively luxuriously decorated tavern. Fang Muheng drank a bottle of Jardine beer in one breath.
Jardine Brewery was founded by the British business Jardine Matheson in Shanghai in the 23rd year of the Republic of China. In just three years, Jardine Brewery has become the best-selling local beer in Shanghai.
Fang Muheng, who was in a irritable mood and slightly drunk, lit a cigarette and took a puff. Then he seemed to forget to smoke and was just in a daze.
There was a burst of laughter and noise from the small private room next door.
The two compartments are the two innermost independent compartments, which have great privacy and are right next to each other.
Although the other party's voice was not too loud, Fang Muheng himself was sulking and dazed here. He was relatively quiet and could barely hear clearly.
…
He Guan clinked glasses with Liu Bo, their eyes shining with excitement.
"It's great." He Guan was obviously drunk and had no words left in his mouth. He gave Liu Bo a thumbs up, "You're right, you can only spit out this breath after killing that Japanese.
Everyone feels comfortable.”
With that said, He Guan opened another bottle of beer and filled it with Liu Bo, "Brother Liu, thank you very much. This was only possible through the joint efforts of my two brothers."
Liu Bo also seemed to be a little drunk. He patted He Guan's shoulder with one hand and waved the other hand, "I am just responsible for asking for information and deceiving that little Japanese. It is also that Japanese who is too greedy for money."
, it’s easy to be fooled, it’s you, Master Guan, who really contributed.”
Jin Kemu was promoted to deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room, and He Guan's life became more and more carefree. Many people began to call him "Master Guan" in private.
After leaving the tavern, He Guan and Liu Bo supported each other and staggered down the alley.
The evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing on the faces of the two people, and the two of them sobered up a little.
Liu Bo wiped his face randomly with his hands, then turned to He Guan and said, "We were too careless just now. Walls have ears. If someone listened, we would be in big trouble."
He Guan was also a little scared.
"Don't worry, the private room next door is very quiet. I didn't hear anyone." Liu Bo said that in order to accompany He Guan, he drank too much today and his reaction was a little slow. However, when he left the tavern, he glanced at the private room next door. There was indeed something inside.
There is no one.
At this time, He Guan suddenly felt the need to urinate. He stopped and came to the wall to put some water. He turned his head and saw a figure flashing behind him.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on He Guan's back, and he winked at Liu Bo.
