Chapter 9 After the Gunshots (2)

=================================

If it were normal, Fu Jiusi would hardly take time to guess the answer, but he had just experienced the double torture of sex and mentality, so that his brain couldn't turn around, and it took several seconds to realize what Lu Mincheng was talking about.

"...You mean, the identity of the murderer has been identified?"

Lu Mincheng nodded: "I thought it was someone from outside who was assigned by someone, but it turned out that this person's name was Chang Sheng. His ancestors were tenant farmers of the Yuan family for generations, and they were slaves from a serious family."

Fu Jiu thought for a while: "The servants born in the family may not be instructed by others. Has he ever admitted who is the upper family?"

"This murderous method is not very good, but a person is a person with a backbone. He didn't utter a single word when he was tortured. He only said that it was to eliminate harm for the people."

"Where's the murder weapon? What can you say?"

A smile appeared in Lu Mincheng's eyes: "Parallel dog brand Luzi, a bad street style, this line is being followed, and there is no news for the time being."

Fu Jiusi rolled his eyes weakly: "I haven't found anything after working for a long time, so I still have the face to see me."

Lu Mincheng smiled even more: "Who said I didn't find out anything? It just so happened that at the end of last month, someone from my subordinates had seen this man named Chang Sheng at Yangshupu Wharf."

"Yangshupu Wharf?" Fu Jiusi opened his eyes slightly.

Lu Mincheng said, "If it wasn't for your brother who bought someone to kill us, then another possibility would be more real."

Fu Jiusi gritted his teeth: "...Du Chunqiu."

As the busiest area in Shanghai, and as the chokepoint for entering Shanghai, the North Bund has always been a battleground for all forces.

In Shanghai today, the top forces are the Red Pavilion with the prefix "Black", and the Fu family with the prefix "Official".

Among them, the composition of the Red Pavilion is complex. According to the information that can be tested, the members at the beginning of the founding included the "Penmao Army", deserters from the Qing court, civilian bandits, peasants, Luodi scholars, etc., and even had a second person during the Guangxu period. The handle, it can be said that the three religions and nine streams are gathered together.

The Fu family is different. Their ancestors belonged to the noble family. Fu Jiusi’s great-grandmother was born in the Yellow Banner of Manchuria. She was from the same family as Empress Xiaokangzhang. The family's wealth has been accumulated since then.

Although the faces of foreigners are all seen in Shanghai's ports today, the Fu family, who has a strong family background and deep roots, is actually slightly better than the home-grown Snake Red Pavilion.

At the end of last month, Fu Junshou joined Song Lian, and with the help of the Song family's private soldiers, they embezzled two of the five ports with the largest throughput in Du Chunqiu's hands, one of which was Yangshupu Wharf.

"If that's the case, Fourth Master Du is not very clever."

Lu Mincheng took an orange from the bedside table and peeled it open. Fu Jiusi begged for the orange with his eyes, and he broke half of it for him.

Fu Jiusi held the orange petals in his mouth, as if he was chewing not the flesh, but the blood of Du Chunqiu: "This is a serious conspiracy, and people can't catch their tails by doing so much wicked deeds!"

——There is no falsehood in these words, as long as the murderer resists death and does not confess, it is just empty words to let his Lu Mincheng subordinates identify him.

In addition, there are more than 100 revolutionary parties, anti-government figures, and radical students that An Fumin has ordered to arrest since he took office.

Lu Mincheng and Fu Jiusi, one is a local warlord who defected to the central government, and the other is the emerging bourgeoisie representing the government's lintel, are the most influential assassination targets.

In this way, almost any civil opposition organization is qualified to declare responsibility for the matter, and this is the difficulty of further investigation.

Fu Jiusi suddenly thought of something, and his mind moved: "By the way, where is Sun Yao?"

Before he fell into a coma, he only saw Sun Yao fall to the ground, but he had no idea whether he was really shot.

Speaking of this person, Lu Mincheng also had some deep meaning in his eyes: "The bullet was scratched, aiming at the thigh."

"Sun Shou Stork is in the parliament now..." He stopped halfway, frowning, and seemed unwilling to follow his train of thought.

"Ninth brother!" Lu Mincheng sighed, "I guess that this is the case for the time being, and I can't find any evidence if I investigate further, so Chang Sheng is now hanging on to my few Du Lengding. , it is estimated that it will be completely finished in a day or two at most."

Fu Jiusi knew that what he was telling was the truth, but it was just that the flesh hurt him. Now this ending was a bit embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do for a while, so his eyes were red with anger.

Seeing Lu Mincheng's appearance, he turned his head with anger in his heart and turned his direction: "Is your marksmanship so useless? You can still let him die."

Lu Mincheng looked innocent: "Injustice. My two shots were shot at insignificant places. How could I have imagined that this person was a short-lived ghost who had a high fever and caused pulmonary edema."

Fu Jiusi rolled his eyes, but he also knew in his heart that this kind of thing is not as good as the sky, so he had no choice but to do it.

Two days later, before the headlines in the newspaper were taken down, Fu Jiusi made a fuss to go home. Fu Jun couldn't resist him, so he had to bring back all the necessary medical equipment and an attending doctor and two nursing staff who were hired at a high price. In a big house, it is not enough to arrange a bedroom so that it is no different from a hospital ward.

After returning home, Fu Jiusi completely lived a delicate life of eating to open his mouth and clothes to extend his hands. When he was barely able to get off the ground a month later, his legs were shaking like chaff and he could barely move.

He was terrified and spun his arm around the wooden floor a few times, only to find that his lower limbs were weak due to being in bed for too long.

He didn't go out this month, and read some newspapers to pass the time in his spare time. Two of them caught his attention: "The Executive Yuan ordered the dissolution of the XX Society and expelled the first student who caused the accident" and "Du Chunqiu seeks to marry the famous Kun Ling Liang Xunhe" .

The former one is not very noticeable, and there is no other reason, just because it has been like this every three days after was young, and everyone is used to it, but it can't cause a big storm.

And he noticed it because there was someone he knew there.

The latter one is big news, not to mention that the two protagonists themselves are big celebrities who are full of topics, just the identity of the big boss and the famous Kunqu Opera actress is enough to make people's brains come to tears and lingering sorrow. love-hate entanglement.

So this day, when Lu Mincheng came to visit at home, he shouted first: "Why isn't this dude dead yet? What do your people eat?"

Lu Mincheng took the brunt of the questioning without changing his face. He smiled and said, "It's not good to kill people. He set fire to his morphine warehouse and made him feel sore before crying."

"Everyone is going to marry a bride!" Fu Jiusi snorted.

Lu Mincheng brought a box of Swiss-made chocolates, and suddenly slapped his head when he saw him changing his dressing: "Oh, I forgot that Doctor Bai said you can't eat sweets."

This is the lesson he learned last time in the hospital, because of that sweet chestnut cake, he was "advised" for ten minutes, and he was not let go until he promised that he would never commit again.

So Fu Jiusi watched him hand over the chocolate to the servant, saying that it was for his wife.

Fu Jiusi was not happy to be grouped with "Mrs. Madam", but she didn't think to make up for it for a while, and the topic passed in an instant.

"By the way, have you read the newspaper?" he asked.

Lu Mincheng held the teacup and blew: "Which day's newspaper?"

"On the 18th, the Morning Light Society was disbanded and the student who led the accident was expelled."

"From what you said, it seems to be a bit of an impression," Lu Mincheng asked, "what's the matter?"

Fu Jiusi said, "The newspaper published a photo of the head student. There was a man named Zou Ruhuai that I had seen before. He was at the racetrack in the concession last time. This man was with Lu Ruozuo."

When he heard the last few words, Lu Mincheng gradually stopped his movements: "You mean..."

Fu Jiusi leaned back: "The current situation is unstable. I heard that your younger brother is away from home all day. If you want me to say, it's better for you to watch more."

Lu Mincheng really doesn't care what Lu Ruozuo does and who he is with. He didn't expect Lu Ruozuo to be involved with the Morning Optical Society.

After a moment of contemplation, he responded, "I see."

Afterwards, Fu Jiusi pointed at Liang Xunhe and shouted, saying that a good boss was blind, and he saw Du Chunqiu as a scoundrel.

Lu Mincheng was still thinking about the morning light conference, but he came back to his senses a few seconds late. Seeing that he had been bored in the room for more than a month, he said: "Ninth brother, do you want to listen to gossip? Let's take Boss Liang. How about coming to the house and singing the concert?"

The Fu family has always been Western-style, and with Xu Anqi's order, the family never allows actors and actresses to enter the house.

However, Fu Jiusi was aroused by his words. It was false to want to listen to the play, and to arrange Du Chunqiu to be true in front of him. If this could make Liang Xunhe hate Du Chunqiu so much that he broke the marriage contract, making Du Chunqiu in The people in front of him greatly lost face, and that's how he taught him to let out his anger.

So he said, "That's a good idea, but my sister-in-law doesn't allow anyone in the family to sing operas, so I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to this meeting at home."

Lu Mincheng waved his hand: "What's so difficult? Tell your family and say that I will hold a banquet at home to make amends for you, and then I will invite people to my house."

So Fu Jiusi went to Lu Yu the next day. His injuries were not completely healed. Before going out, Fu An forced him to wear a thick lamb wool coat. on his neck.

The wound on his chest healed well, but it was a gunshot wound after all, and he still felt a little pain when he was moving. When he got into the car, the movement was a little bigger, and the wound was involved, and he grinned in pain, so he had to sit carefully like Xizi was holding his heart. After leaning down, told the driver to drive steadily.

Lu Mincheng and Liang Xunhe are familiar with each other, and since he arrived in Shanghai, he has been supporting the other side a lot. Therefore, even though he didn't say hello to the audience in advance, Liang Xunhe still came to the appointment.

Since it was a church meeting, listening to the play was naturally the first priority. Lu Mincheng ordered a fold of Wen Zhaoguan and a fold of the house, and Fu Jiusi was completely disinterested and lethargic listening to it, so Boss Liang took a break and had a drink. Stop tea.

Fu Jiusi's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he was eager to try to listen to the gossip of famous actors, but he didn't want Liang Xunhe to suddenly give a deep bow at this moment.
