Chapter 130: The Shopkeeper of the Leather Goods Shop
Several people got out of the car, and the patrolman hurriedly came over and waved sticks to disperse the crowd watching the excitement, smiling at Zhang Xueliang and the others. The few people completely ignored the patrolman's kindness, looked in the right direction, took out their luggage from the trunk, and separated.
The crowd walked inside and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
This place is the most lively place on the bridge, with all kinds of people coming and going, and there is a constant flow of people from morning to night. Zhang Xueliang led Ma Xingkong into a two-story building on the street. This building did not look long, typical
It is in Western style, with a small doorway and several masonry pillars hidden in the wall.
"Boss Han, how are the preparations?" One of Zhang Xueliang's guards came forward to answer a young man standing at the door. This man was in his early twenties, had a crew cut, was wearing a blue long-distance running shirt, his cuffs were rolled up, and he spoke with a smile.
He has a natural smile that makes people look extremely loyal.
"Everything is ready! Come on in, please!" Boss Han held his robe in one hand and made an invitation gesture with the other hand. He took the lead in stepping into his store.
The name on the door of the store is "Wufang Leather Store", so it must be a leather goods shop. Sure enough, as soon as you enter the store, the smell of animal skins is very strong. A row of shelves against the back wall are full of goods, or hung with various kinds of goods.
With such good looks, the few boys were immersed in their own work, and no one raised their head to look at Ma Xingkong and the others.
The business is a bit deserted. Only a few people who live in Tianqiao can afford to buy leather goods. This may be a secret stronghold of Zhang Xueliang, and the leather goods store is just a cover. Enter the store, turn right, and go through a small door next to the counter.
Entering the backyard. Boss Han let everyone in, turned around and shouted: "Young man, keep an eye on me! Don't let anyone come to the backyard if you have nothing to do!"
This backyard is really unique. Compared with the narrow shop in front, it is much spacious. On both sides are the tanners' workshops for leather tanning. I don't know what is being cooked in a big pot in the yard. It is bubbling and has a special taste.
It smells bad. Shopkeeper Han smiled sheepishly and hurriedly moved everyone back.
After entering the second yard, we finally arrived at the most hidden part of the leather goods shop. The house here doesn't look like much, but it's completely different when you get inside. Pieces of mahogany furniture, fine antique vases, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
There is no shortage of anything, there is even a small garden and training ground at the back of the yard.
Zhang Xueliang looked inside and outside: "Not bad! Boss Han, you have done a good job here over the years. I will tell my father when I get back!"
"Thank you, Marshal!" Boss Han hurriedly handed over his hand.
Zhang Xueliang asked Ma Xingkong: "Brother Ma, what do you think of this place? Let's take shelter here. It won't take long. When Yuan Shikai is finished, we can go out!"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Very good, but I would also like to ask Mr. Zhang to send someone to Dongjiaomin Lane, where my two brothers are still there!"
Zhang Xueliang slapped his head: "Yes, yes! I almost forgot, hurry up!"
Seeing Zhang Xueliang's special care for Ma Xingkong, shopkeeper Han guessed that Ma Xingkong must have a lot of background, so he took the initiative to invite him: "Young Marshal, I should go! It's not suitable for any of you to go, there must be arrests everywhere outside now."
, I am most at ease! By the way, this gentleman has met your two brothers, how can we contact him? "
Hei Wa and Liu Wu ran around outside all day without finding out any news. It is said that Yuan Keding has many houses in the capital. Even the Minxiang in the east suburbs also has Yuan Keding's property. The two of them are not familiar with the capital.
, when asked about other people, everyone would avoid talking, so after running around for half a month, I didn’t even know where Yuan Keding lived.
Just as they entered the alley, Hei Wa grabbed Liu Wu and the two hurriedly hid outside the alley. Liu Wu stuck his head out and looked inside. The entire alley had been completely blocked by the police, security forces and some unknown people.
They ignored the foreigners passing by, and when they saw Chinese people, they looked at them carefully and looked at them with cold eyebrows.
"What's going on?" Hei Wa asked: "People from the government still dare to come here to arrest people?"
Liu Wu shook his head: "Look, they seem to be surrounding the place where we live. Something big must have happened!"
Yuan Keding limped out of the door and spit on the ground: "My Prime Minister, stop searching. If there are no results, they will have run away long ago! I am not an idiot!"
"These little bastards ran very fast!" Cao Kun put his hands behind his back, wore a blue military coat, and held a high broomstick on his forehead: "They probably haven't come back! Young Master, you also know that Zhang Zuolin is here
Are there any houses in the capital?"
Yuan Keding smiled and said: "There is none here, and there will certainly not be any places we know about! Zhang Xueliang is smarter than him. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. It is not easy to find a few people. You are in front of my father.
I’m afraid the order you invited me will be difficult to deal with!”
Yuan Keding said this with elation and his eyes full of pride. Cao Kun said with a straight face and shouted: "Where is the Chief of Police?"
A short and fat policeman hurriedly emerged from the crowd, wiping the sweat from his face and smiling: "I'm here! What's the Prime Minister's order? I'll do my best and never let you down..."
"Okay!" Cao Kun didn't wait for the police chief to finish his words, and said sternly: "I'll give you three days to catch Zhang Xueliang and that Ma Xingkong, or I'll use your head to pay for it!"
After saying that, Cao Kun waved his sleeves, bent down and got into his car, and drove out like the wind.
The hot sweat of the Police Chief immediately turned into cold sweat. Yuan Keding limped down the steps, looked at the fat-headed and big-eared Lien of the Police Chief, smiled slightly, and got into his car.
When Liu Wu saw that everyone had almost left, he waved to Hei Wa, and the two of them hurriedly got into the alley next to it. This alley led directly to the back door of the small courtyard. They wanted to go in from here and see how the small courtyard was doing.
What happened to Ma Xingkong and the others? As expected, there were not many people guarding the back door. Two policemen straddled their rifles and stared at passers-by with their hats tilted and shaking their heads.
Liu Wu winked at Hei Wa, and the two of them walked towards the two policemen little by little. Hei Wa's hand had already touched the dagger in his arms. If he took another step forward, he would be sure to hit him with a fatal blow.
"Brother Liu Wu! Brother Hei Wa! Why are you two here? Hurry up, everyone is waiting here!" Unwillingly, a young man waved at Hei Wa and Liu Wu with smiles on their faces.
.The two policemen also noticed Liu Wu and Hei Wa and looked at them warily.
"You two! Come here!" The two policemen shouted to Liu Wu and Hei Wa. The younger one ran over in a hurry, stretched out his hand and took out two big pieces of money from his arms: "Second brother, Army Master, you have worked hard, I
These two brothers are a bit silly! We are going there to eat, and we ask Master Jun to make it easier for us?"
For Dayang's sake, the two policemen looked at Liu Wu and Hei Wa again, then put away their guns, took the money from the young man's hand, put it into their pockets, and said: "Hurry up, there's another person here."
Big case! Don’t come here if you don’t mind!”
The young man nodded, holding one in each hand, and hurried out of the alley. Although he didn't know martial arts and had never killed anyone, he could still clearly hear the sound of the two daggers on his waist ripping through his clothes.
