Chapter 302: Intricate and Complicated (1)
The other disciples did not buy Shen Minghong's account and left the police force with Shen Minghong, which made Chen Qianfeng both glad and angry. Fortunately, these disciples did not listen to Shen Minghong's inspiration, otherwise the East China Government would not be able to come down from Taiwan. If they wanted to save it, it would not be so easy. They were angry that the Qing Dynasty had just changed its days, and their disciples dared to wipe their face. They really thought they would not have time to make a comeback. But now is not the time to deal with these ungrateful and deceiving disciples who are disdainful of their disciples, and when they have handled their relationship with the East China Government, they have to deal with them anyway, and there is still time.
Shen Minghong was fired by the police force and was slapped by his brothers. After returning home, he was scolded by his father. He had been full of anger and had no outside venting. He was also very dissatisfied with the East China Government. Therefore, he did not have a good tone for Li Chenggui. On the one hand, he was picking things and on the other hand, he was also going to the East China Government. As a result, he subconsciously said those words.
In fact, after saying this, Shen Minghong regretted it. After all, he was not a stupid person. He knew the seriousness of his words. If he was in the Qing court, he would have been sentenced to a crime of disrespect and would have to be exiled at least 2,000 miles away.
At this time, Shen Mingguang said: "Dad, Brother Chenggui is also here to see you. He had no choice but to send his brother to the New Year. Is it necessary to send him a brother? It means he still remembers his father in his heart, so why bother with you!"
Li Chenggui took him with a "brother" to Shen Minghong's disrespectful words just now, but the Shen family could no longer look at Li Chenggui's face, so Shen Mingguang hurriedly moved the ladder for his father so that his father could have a step down.
Chen Qianfeng is also a smart person, so he can't understand the truth. Besides, he has turned over and sat up and it is difficult to lie down again. Therefore, he took a few more cigarettes and said, "Chenggui, it's rare that you still have this heart. Mingguang, take the thing over and let Chenggui take it."
Shen Mingguang came here, took the gift brought by Li Chenggui, and said politely: "Forget it, Brother Chenggui is here, let alone bring such a heavy gift! They are all their own family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Li Chenggui hurriedly said, "It should be, I'm here to visit my master, so I can come empty-handed!"
Chen Qianfeng pointed to the other side of the kang and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Li Chenggui thanked him and sat down on the kang for half of his butt, saying, "Master is in good spirits!"
Chen Qianfeng snorted and said, "Stop beating around the bush. Although your master is old, he still has this look. You are working as a job in overseas Chinese and are very busy. You won't be able to go to my door if you have nothing to do. Tell me, what's wrong with coming to find me?"
Li Chenggui also said a little embarrassedly: "You are still vicious. I am here to visit you this time, and there are some things I want to ask you for advice. Do you know what happened to the thief and male and female swallows that have been making trouble these days?"
Chen Qianfeng laughed and said, "I knew you came for this matter. It has been a lot of trouble these days. How could I not know? Why, is it that overseas Chinese have no tricks?"
Li Chenggui said: "Isn't it! Now the leaders are having a headache, and there are no clues at all. But I think this may not be difficult in your eyes. You have a wide range of skills and a broad mind. I believe you know some clues."
Chen Qianfeng took a few more puffs of cigarettes before saying, "Did the overseas Chinese ask you to come to me?"
Li Chenggui said: "I recommend the master to the chief to come out to help, and the chief also agreed. If the master can come out and solve this case, he will definitely be valued by the government and revitalize his grandeur. Moreover, the government does not distinguish between officials and with the master's ability, he will inevitably be entrusted with important tasks after he comes out. It is just around the corner to be promoted to a half-time position in a few years!"
When Chen Qianfeng heard this, his face remained silent. He sucked several cigarettes. After a while, he said: "I know a little clue about this case, but I want to advise you one word, I don't know if you are willing to listen."
Li Chenggui hurriedly said, "Master, please say, I must listen to Master."
Chen Qianfeng exhaled a puff of cigarette and said, "This trip to muddy water is not that easy, you! It's better not to go there, be careful of getting mud. Just let overseas Chinese have a headache."
Li Chenggui was also a little surprised and said, "Master, it's not that serious, it's just two flying thieves."
Chen Qianfeng said: "On the surface, there are these two thieves, but behind them, there are people who want to fall into the faces of overseas Chinese. They are fighting gods, and I don't dare to join in. What are you doing in the middle of this?"
Li Chenggui hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, is it so serious? Now, inside and outside the Beijing city, all are all overseas Chinese. Some people want to lose their face. Isn't it a big deal on Tai Sui's head? What's so scary?"
Chen Qianfeng said: "What do you know? A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Where is Beijing City? Under the feet of the world, the imperial city of Kyoto. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been more than 600 years. How many days can overseas Chinese come to China? How many days have they entered Beijing? There are rules for Beijing City in Beijing. Whoever enters Beijing City has to follow the rules for Beijing City. So what about overseas Chinese? I know that overseas Chinese are good at fighting, but so what can it do? Can you still use cannons to blow this Beijing City to the sky? So I have no choice, you go back."
After hearing this, Li Chenggui's face became a little serious and said, "Master, then who is behind these two thieves supporting them!"
Chen Qianfeng snorted and said, "Don't think about confusing me, I don't know anything, I didn't say anything! Even if I know, I won't tell you. It's getting late, go back! Bring me a good hand to your father. That day, his legs and feet are ready, let him come and sit down, let's have a few drinks for us brothers."
Seeing that Chen Qianfeng issued an order to expel guests, Li Chenggui was not good to stop. Although he was confused about Chen Qianfeng's words and did not understand what they mean, he could only get up and say goodbye at this time. However, Chen Qianfeng's attitude was polite and asked Shen Mingguang to send him out.
When Shen Mingguang sent Li Chenggui back, Shen Minghong said, "Dad, what are you talking about and you? Wouldn't it be enough to drive him out long ago?"
Chen Qianfeng glared at him fiercely and said, "What do you know? I almost broke things just now. I always know how to fight chickens and dogs, and I am idle. If you ask you to do something, you will be honest and obedient."
Shen Mingguang said: "Dad, I've sent it away."
Chen Qianfeng nodded and said, "It seems that this case makes overseas Chinese very difficult!"
Shen Mingguang said: "Yes, the streets and alleys have spread now. It is said that overseas Chinese are incompetent and are tricked by two thieves!"
Chen Qianfeng said: "You go out to inquire these days and find out what's going on. Since overseas Chinese have found us, we have to make this matter clear."
When Shen Minghong heard this, he became anxious again and said, "Dad, what do you mean? You have to figure out the matter. Are you still trying to help overseas Chinese or what?"
Chen Qianfeng shouted angrily: "Shut up, what do I do? Do you still need to say it! You have stayed at home honestly these days, and you are not allowed to go there. You dare to go out for half a step, so you don't break your legs. Go down!"
Shen Minghong did not dare to talk stubbornly anymore, so he had to leave with Shen Mingguang. After their brothers left, Chen Qianfeng sighed softly. His eldest son was simple-minded, rude, and unemployed. It was really difficult to become a great man and could not take over his own work. If he handed over his family business to him, he would not be able to defend his position at all. His second son was smart and capable, but unfortunately he was too young. At least he had to practice for several years before he could inherit his legacy.
Chen Qianfeng knew in his heart that although the Shen family had been so glorious for three generations, they were actually cautious and trembling. I wonder how many people were staring at the position of the chief of their family again. When he took the position from his father, he had been plotting several times before he could sit firmly. Now he is still here and can still be able to keep his place. Once he is gone, I am afraid that there are so many open and secret arrows running towards his two sons, but he is over 60 years old and his health is not as good as before. I wonder if there is still enough time to train his second son to the Tao.
It would be better if I had arrived in the Qing court. After all, I have made some real friends over the past few decades and trained some true confidant disciples. With the help of these people, my second son could still stabilize the situation even if he was younger when he was in power. But now he has encountered a change of dynasty, which has made the situation confusing. I don’t know how to pass this position smoothly to my son. This case is an opportunity, and I must not miss it.
On the way home, Li Chenggui was thinking about what Chen Qianfeng said to him. Of course he could hear that Chen Qianfeng had something in his words, but he still didn't understand what was hidden in Chen Qianfeng's words. Before he knew it, he had returned home and went to see his father Li Pingzhang first.
His father Li Pingzhang was originally a writer in Shuntian Prefecture. He was not only skilled in writing, but also skilled in all aspects. Because he was good at observing words and expressions, he was full of doubt when he saw his son coming back. He knew that his son was having problems with Shen Qianfeng, so he said, "Chenggui, what did he say when you go to see your master this time!"
Li Chenggui said: "Dad, what the master said is foggy, and there is something in his words, but my son Gan doesn't understand. I'm afraid he will see the leader tomorrow and it will be difficult to explain."
Li Pingzhang nodded and said, "Tell me, I'm here to see what kind of tricks this old fox is."
