Chapter 51 Lin Hu
Zheng Wenjie was a little surprised to hear Su Wan'er's soft and weak voice: "Looking at your figure, I know you have practiced martial arts, why are you so timid."
Su Wan'er smiled bitterly. "Coward? Are you talking like a human being? I saw you killing people!" That Abao was like an iron tower. Even from the second floor, I could feel the pressure. He was also a traitor. If he knew the relationship between me and Ma Changtu, would I still be alive?
Zheng Wenjie saw that the area downstairs had been cleared by the excited brothers, and shouted to Abao: "Abao, go ask your father to come over."
Abao looked up and smiled at Zheng Wenjie and nodded, then led his men out of Yanghong Garden. The only living people left in the lobby were Turing and his comprador.
Su Wan'er leaned against the fence with a melancholy look, and looked at Zheng Wenjie with a pair of beautiful eyes as rippling as autumn water. She said softly, "Sir, I know nothing about Yanghong Garden, and I won't say a word. Can you please let our Su family go? We will pack up and leave immediately, and never come to Fengtian again."
"Come on, I said I won't do anything to you, so just go if you want to." Zheng Wenjie said with a smile and waved his hand. No matter what the relationship between Su Wan'er and Ma Changtu was, just based on Su Wan'er's charming and graceful appearance on the stage, Zheng Wenjie would not do anything to her. After all, opera is a traditional culture, and one more successor is a better one.
Su Wan'er was stunned. She didn't expect that he would actually let her go. She was a little suspicious, but she quickly bowed and saluted. She took two steps back and saw that Zheng Wenjie didn't respond. Then she turned around and left, jogging to the backyard.
"Hurry, pack up and get ready to go. Uncle An, A Yang, take the name tags that my Grandpa Ma gave you and go to the train station to see if you can buy tickets. If you can, one of you buy a ticket and come back to report." Su Wan'er gave instructions to the troupe in a hurry.
Uncle An was packing up his musical instruments when he heard this and was about to ask what happened. Hua Rong, who was waiting for Su Wan'er in the room after hearing Ma Changtu's instructions, had already rushed out of the room. Seeing Su Wan'er's flustered look, Hua Rong had a bad premonition in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Su Wan'er: "Wan'er, what are you talking about?"
"Sister Rong, you should come with us too. Grandpa Ma was killed. I saw it with my own eyes when I went to get the costumes."
Hua Rong was shocked by the sudden news and looked at Su Wan'er in disbelief, but the people from the Su family around her had heard it clearly and hurriedly packed up their belongings. Uncle Luo also called A Yang and ran to the train station.
"Sister Rong, pack your things quickly and come with me. The one who killed Grandpa Ma was his men, the sturdy man who is over seven feet tall." Su Wan'er held Hua Rong's hand. They had been in Fengtian for more than half a month. As the head of Yanghong Garden, Hua Rong was extremely good to her and the Su family.
Hua Rong's mind was blank. Without Ma Changtu's support, and with Yanghongyuan as her treasury, how could she live in peace in Fengtian? Hua Rong's body softened and was supported by Su Wan'er in time. She said bitterly, "Master Ma is dead, where else can I go?"
"If Grandpa Ma hadn't found me, I wouldn't have come to Fengtian. Come with us to Hong Kong Island. My senior brother moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island and he wrote to me a long time ago asking me to help him."
Hua Rong had no choice but to nod and hurriedly packed her belongings. She was already alone and helpless, and Ma Changtu's right-hand men never took her seriously. Now she had only Su Wan'er's Su family troupe. After more than half a month of being with Su Wan'er, she was always the best person except when she was singing.
Abao's father is called Lin Hu, who is completely opposite to Abao. He looks pale and thin, about 1.78 meters tall. He leads two people to guard outside Yanghong Garden. Lin Hu, who makes a living in the forest and snow, was a close friend of Mr. Gong when he was young. They have been in contact for more than 20 years. Lin Hu was also the backup plan arranged for Gong Ruomei to leave the Northeast because Mr. Gong was worried that Gong Ruomei would not listen to him and wanted revenge before he died.
In the Northeast, even in the uninhabited primeval forest, Lin Hu could wade out a path. It was also thanks to Lin Hu that Changtu Chamber of Commerce was able to do business in the Soviet Union. But Ma Changtu should not have given the route map drawn by Lin Hu to the Japanese invaders, and it was discovered by Lin Hu. As the brother of the former King of the Northeast, Lin Hu hated the Japanese invaders.
Ever since Zheng Wenjie killed Ma San and his gang, Gong Ruomei announced it and started contacting Lin Hu, hoping that Lin Hu could take the rest of the Gong family away from Northeast China first to prevent the Japanese invaders from taking revenge on the Gong family for Ma San.
On the way to Fengtian, Lin Hu discovered traces of a small group of Japanese invaders in the Greater Khingan Range. He followed them and found that it was people from the Changtu Chamber of Commerce who were leading the way. The direction they were heading was the Huangpizifen where Lin Hu had drawn the caravan to rest and hide goods. Lin Hu, who had a very calm personality, could not suppress his anger.
By doing this, wouldn't he be an accomplice of the Japanese invaders in disguise? How could he be worthy of the Northeast King who was killed by the Japanese invaders a few years ago?
Lin Hu secretly brought his men to Fengtian yesterday. He originally wanted Lin Bao to take the Gong family and leave the Northeast first, while he would stay and make Ma Changtu pay the price of being a traitor. However, he came to the house during the day and discussed with Gong Ruomei and Zheng Wenjie, which led to the current situation.
When Lin Hu saw Lin Bao and his men leaving Yanghong Garden, he knew that nothing had happened, so he also went to meet them with two people.
"Abao, go ahead and invite everyone over." Lin Hu patted Abao's chest happily. Now that Ma Changtu was dead, according to Zheng Wenjie, as long as they dealt with the manager of Changtu Chamber of Commerce, they could get at least 100,000 oceans from Ma Changtu's property in Fengtian. Lin Hu couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly asked Lin Bao to bring all the managers to Yanghongyuan.
He took two people into Yanghong Garden. As soon as he entered the lobby, he frowned. Turing and his comprador huddled in the corner. He walked over quickly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Brother Lin, it's okay. This man is called Ma Jia Turing and he's a Beile. We may need his help later." Zheng Wenjie's voice came down from the second floor
Lin Hu looked up and saw Zheng Wenjie was very happy. He glanced at Ma Changtu's body and said, "Hahaha, damn Ma Changtu, he died well. If the second girl hadn't asked me to come to Fengtian, I wouldn't have discovered that this bastard actually dared to be a traitor." Zheng Wenjie went downstairs, pulled over two chairs, and sat down with Lin Hu. "Brother Lin, I remember you said that the Japanese invaders you found went to Daxinganling. What were they doing in Daxinganling?"
Lin Hu took out a pipe and fiddled with it while saying, "I followed the Japanese invaders all the way. The more I walked, the more I found there were. I didn't dare to follow them anymore and retreated back. I wanted to settle accounts with that bastard Ma Changtu directly."
"Brother Lin, when this is over, you can draw a map for me so I can see what these Japanese invaders are doing in Daxing'anling."
Lin Hu took a few puffs of his pipe and nodded: "No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow. I've asked A Bao to bring people to invite the managers of Changtu Chamber of Commerce in Fengtian. But can't we just take over Ma Changtu's property?"
"How can you take over his family business? Unless you also surrender to the Japanese invaders and become a traitor, no one will support you. How can you deal with the guards of the Changtu Chamber of Commerce in various places?"
"Brother Lin, don't think too much. It's good enough that you can eat up all of Fengtian. You also have to be careful of the retaliation from the Changtu Chamber of Commerce."
Lin Hu exhaled a puff of smoke and said in confusion: "Ma Changtu is dead, and he was a traitor. Who would work for him if his death is not a pity?"
"Ma Changtu founded the Changtu Chamber of Commerce from scratch over fifty years ago. How could he not have loyal followers? I find it strange that I could have solved Ma Changtu so easily today."
What Zheng Wenjie didn't know was that in order to avoid being labeled a traitor and not believing that anything would happen to him in Fengtian occupied by the Japanese, Ma Changtu had already sent his right-hand men and most of the people to cooperate with the Japanese invaders, so he was able to get rid of him so easily.
"Brother Lin, we are just being brave and confiscating the property of Changtu Chamber of Commerce in Fengtian."
Lin Hu nodded and said helplessly: "I have been in the snowy forest for more than ten years, and I have become confused. Does that mean that if we raid Ma Changtu's house, we have to hide far away together?"
"Yes, we have to go together, otherwise the Changtu Chamber of Commerce and the Japanese invaders will come to cause trouble for us."
The wrinkles on Lin Hu's face gathered together. He smoked his pipe in silence. After a while, he said, "You and the second girl can take my son with you. I won't leave. I can't bear to let him go."
Zheng Wenjie did not try to persuade him. He also understood the feeling of being reluctant to leave one's homeland: "Brother Lin, don't worry too much. In a few years, we will drive the Japanese invaders out, and then everything will be fine."
"I hope so."
"Can I leave?" Turing came over with the help of the comprador, covering his swollen cheek.
Lin Hu glanced at him and said nothing.
"My Lord, why are you in such a hurry? We will still need you to endorse us later." Zheng Wenjie smiled, still with his braids, who else should he cheat if not you?
"What do you mean?" Turing looked a little fierce but actually had a tough heart. He knew from their conversation that they were not easy to deal with. Even if he was killed, it would be like having too many lice to relieve the itch.
"You'll know in a minute. From now on, if you say another word of nonsense, I'll kill you." Zheng Wenjie grinned at Turing, scaring him so much that he took a half step back.
