Chapter 188: Log in to Shanghai (Part 2)

Xu Changqing's identity is no longer a secret for a small number of senior executives of the Tongmenghui. When he learned that Xu Changqing was coming to Shanghai, Chen Qimei, the head of Tongmenghui in Shanghai, immediately sent someone to send a message to Anzhuang, asking him to contact Xu Changqing no matter what, and try to bring him to the Tongmenghui side. However, judging from Xu Changqing's current attitude, this task is quite difficult for Anzhuang.

After the carriage entered the North Station area, the traffic suddenly increased, the road became much wider, and the buildings on both sides of the road became taller. There were many Chinese in suits and ties coming and going, and they were traveling in a hurry and seemed particularly busy.

"Pull the car!" Xu Changqing suddenly ordered as the carriage passed by a small square garden.

The carriage was immediately pulled to the side of the road. At this time, Xu Changqing looked at a revolutionary drama being rehearsed in the garden, and there was an acquaintance among the main actors, Dong Fang, the eldest daughter of the Dong family.

"Sir, do you know Dong Fang, the eldest daughter of the Dong family?" An Zhuang asked softly when he felt Xu Changqing's sight.

Xu Changqing said with a plain face: "I have met several times."

An Zhuang smiled slightly and said in admiration: "Although she is still young, she is quite knowledgeable and is also a rare passionate young man. Someone has recommended her in the association and wants her to join the association."

"Hot blood and ignorance and blindness are often only a line of difference!" Xu Changqing sneered disdainfully, and then asked: "Shouldn't she be in Tianjin? Why did she come to Shanghai?"

"A month ago, the situation in the capital became a bit strange, and Tianjin was also affected. The atmosphere was very tense and it would be fought at any time, so the Dong family decided to move some of the industries south of Shanghai." Anzhuang did not express any dissatisfaction with Xu Changqing's disdain, and explained carefully with a calm expression: "Now the older generation of the Dong family guarded the industries there in Tianjin, and Dong Zhenyu and his wife came to Shanghai to develop their careers. Dong Fang also transferred to Shanghai St. Mary Girls' Middle School at that time. However, this girl was really a troublemaker. She was warned by the concession police room three times shortly after she arrived. Although this was a concession area, such a boastful publicity against the Qing Dynasty made the upper class of the concession very embarrassed. If the Dong family had not yet had some status in Shanghai, I was afraid that this girl would have been thrown to the Qing court by the consul of the concession."

Xu Changqing asked again: "How is the Dong family's business expanding in Shanghai?"

"Hehe!" An Zhuang smiled and said, "Although the Dong family is considered a Chinese businessman in Tianjin, they do not have their place in Shanghai, and the mixed dragons and snakes in Shanghai are not comparable to Tianjin Wei. When they first came, Dong Zhenyu was cheated of a lot of money by several white-eyed people. If his wife had not bought an old textile factory smartly and found a place for Dong Zhenyu in the French Concession Business Council, I am afraid that the Dong family would have returned to Tianjin before they gained a foothold."

Xu Changqing said calmly: "I guess Mr. Chen has helped them in this matter!"

"As you expected!" An Zhuang smiled, "The master said that the Dong family has some relationship with our Chen family, so he sent someone to help the Dong family with the Dong family, and also borrowed a sum of money to help the Dong family start the textile factory."

Xu Changqing nodded, as if agreeing with Chen Deshang's approach. At this time, the garden drama had been halfway through, and a lot of people were gathered around him. From another alley, more than a dozen Chinese and Indian police officers suddenly ran out, surrounded the stage, and dispersed the crowd around him. One of them looked like the leader was about to arrest Dong Fang and other major actors.

Seeing Xu Changqing frowned slightly at this time, An Zhuang immediately understood what he should do, and ordered the coachman to call the police chief over, and said to the man with an arrogant look: "Smiling Tiger, are you leading the team today?"

"Oh! Isn't this Master An? I'll give you a greeting." The police chief, who had an impatient look, saw An Zhuang's face suddenly change, and his expression was full of behavior, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Today I was the third brother, but last night, the third brother played with Xiao Taohong in Piaoxianglou for a night, and lost his energy, so I made Xiaode come out to shake his majesty."

"You kid can be considered a success!" An Zhuang smiled, then pointed to the garden stage and said, "I just came out to show off my mighty power. As for the noise that made it so big?"

The smiley tiger quickly explained: "Haha! You don't know that this little girl has been making trouble here these days, which has alarmed the Qing court. Now the Qing court puts pressure on the superiors to deal with this matter, otherwise the young man would not have the time to take care of this matter."

"It's enough to deal with it. Just disperse them. Why catch people? The Dong family has something to do with my master. Since I see it, I can't ignore it." An Zhuang said, taking out a bank ticket from his sleeve and handing it to the smiley tiger, saying, "These money is the hard work for the brothers. You can use it and share them!"

"You spend money, why are you so embarrassed?" Although Xiaomenghu said embarrassed, his hands were not slow at all. He quickly took the bank ticket and stuffed it into his clothes, and then bowed: "I know what to do, so don't worry if you are old!"

After saying that, he turned around and quickly returned to the garden, shouted at the surrounding policemen, then took away a few stage props, and turned around and left. This ended with a slash of slashes, which made the young students who were originally preparing to fight to the death feel confused, and only a few people noticed the carriage.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xu Changqing did not want to contact the Dong family anymore, so he ordered to continue his journey.

The Chen family’s mansion in Shanghai is located next to the Suzhou River in Zhabei, and the other side is Jiangning District. Most villas and mansions on this road live in Chinese businessmen. Although this place belongs to the public concession, it is also under the jurisdiction of the French concession’s public board. In the early morning, you can hear the horns of the boatmen and the fisherman’s songs on the riverside villas, which is quite pastoral.
