Wu Hongtai went downstairs to answer the phone, looked nervous, rushed back, and hurriedly said to Wang Yeheng: "Ninth Master, I really don't know what ghost trick Li Guojie is playing, he called me and actually said that he wanted to invite You Wang Jiuxiang to the banquet."
"Li Guojie invited me to dinner?" Wang Yaqiao heard the words and was dark. Although he had known Li Hongzhang's grandson as early as he was in Hefei, the two had very little contact for many years.
For Wang Yaqiao, a rich and powerful person like Li Guojie was really surprised by the invitation. Remembering the plan they were discussing to assassinate Zhao Tieqiao, Wang Yaqiao became more and more puzzled: "What does this surname Li mean, could it be that the plan to kill Zhao that we are planning is running away again?"
When Wu Hongtai saw that Wang Yaqiao was suspicious again, he smiled and said, "Ninth Master is worried, are you saying that Li Guojie wants to intercede for Zhao Tieqiao, whom we hate?" He would never.
As far as I know, although Li Guojie and Zhao Tieqiao are now serving in the China Merchants Bureau, the two of them are already enemies. Li Guojie simply hated Zhao Tieqiao, how could he intercede for him?"
"Yes," Xuan Jimin saw Wang Yaqiao sitting there squeaking and smoking shisha, half silent, knowing that he remembered the lesson of the failure of the previous overthrow of Jiang, and even secretly doubted several sincere brothers around him, so he explained for Wu Hongtai: "What Hongtai said is very reasonable.
In the past, the power of china merchants bureau was always li guojie alone. However, since Zhao Tieqiao arrived, his situation has been very different. Zhao Tieqiao did not pay attention to Li Guojie at all, and his wanton grasp of power had long annoyed Li Guojie.
Therefore, I can assure you that he is definitely not interceding for Zhao Tieqiao. "So, why did he invite me for a drink?" Wang Yaqiao felt incredible.
Wang Ganting said: "Ninth Master, the two elder brothers Xuan and Wu, have been scouting in Shanghai for many days, and their words must not be disbelieved." Liu Decai and Niu Anru also felt that although Li Guojie invited Wang Yaqiao to dinner at this time, they also firmly believed that Li would never be able to intercede for Zhao Tieqiao, and as for why Li Guojie set up a banquet, it was difficult for everyone to solve this mystery, "Ninth Master, since there is wine to drink, I think I should still drink it?"
Wu Hongtai, who was silent and silent, finally spoke, "I think that contact with Li Guojie may be helpful to our stabbing action." Because in the matter of 1 pair of Zhao Tieqiao, Li Guojie at least coincided with us. ”
Wang Yaqiao said, "Are you saying that Li Guojie wants to use our hands to kill his enemies?" Wu Hongtai looked at Xuan Jimin, and both of them nodded their heads in deep understanding: "Very likely."
Everyone was upstairs discussing why Li Guojie suddenly invited Wang Yaqiao, when the brother who was guarding the door came up again. Holding Zhang Dahong's post in his hand, it turned out to be a bundle sent by Li Guojie. Wang Yaqiao took a look at the brush Xiao Kai:
Worshippers:
Scheduled to be at 12:00 noon tomorrow, at the Grand Hongyun Restaurant, a little bit of drinking, at that time, please come to Jiuguang Ren Brother.
Li Guojie, a native of Anhui Province
Wang Yaqiao looked at Li Guojie's post repeatedly, and then set his eyes on Wu Hongtai and Xuan Jimin, saying: "Is his hatred with Zhao Tieqiao really to the point of buying murder?"
Both Xuan Jimin and Wu Hongtai said, "His vendetta is no smaller than ours, because his Money from Li Guojie is now flowing into Zhao Tieqiao's pocket!"
"Well," Wang Yaqiao had already made up his mind, and suddenly slapped his hand on the table, "if Li Guojie really wants to use my Wang Jiuguang's hand, then it is right in the middle." Since he wants to use our axe gang, we will let him bleed a little!"
When everyone saw Wang Yaqiao spit out these words, they all laughed heartily. At noon the next day, Wang Yaqiao, dressed in white woven silk pants, surrounded by Wu Hongtai, Xuan Jimin, Liu Decai and several other axe gang brothers, went straight from the Anhui Guild Hall to the Dahongyun Hotel on Nanjing Road.
In front of the elegant seat on the second floor, a gentleman who was already smiling and moaning was already greeted, he was dressed in gray silk robes, and he shook a paper fan in his hand, looking humble and polite, when he saw Wang Yaqiao coming with several killers, he hurriedly greeted Ruyi: "Please, Ninth Master please."
The Anhui people who are now mixed on the ground in Shanghai have all stained the light of the Ninth Master!" Wang Yaqiao also did not answer the salute, but only took Wu Hongtai, Xuan Jimin, Niu Anru, Liu Decai, etc. into the elegant seat, which was spacious and bright.
Soon, the waitresses fished in and came up with a plate of exquisite Suzhou dishes. Wang Yaqiao looks at it all with excellent delicacies: steamed chicken with chestnuts, smoked fish with vinegar, rotten shrimp and duck with original sauce. A pot of daughter red old wine. After opening, the seat was suddenly filled with a refreshing fragrance.
"Come on. Ninth Master, drink this cup full of consolation!" Li Guojie withdrew from the waitress and solemnly toasted, "Although Guojie has long had the intention of placing wine and hospitality, it is a pity that he has never been able to get together. It's hard to get the Ninth Master's appreciation today, so let me raise a glass of respect, right?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Yaqiao actually blocked the cup with his hand: "Brother Guojie Xian, I have three non-drinks at the banquet." First, the enemy's wine is not drunk; second, the benefactor's wine is not drunk; third, the wine that is unknown cannot be drunk.
Today, having been given wine by the wise brothers, they either return the favor or ask for something. I must first understand what you are asking of me before I can fill this cup. "
Li Guojie repeatedly advised the wine, but Wang Yaqiao just insisted on not drinking. When Li Guojie saw the situation, he could only sigh and show a sad look: "The Ninth Master also knows that I am from a family of officials and eunuchs, and I came to Shanghai to do business out of helplessness, because in Chiang Kai-shek's official field, there has never been a place for our Li family."
It was okay to do business, but Chiang Kai-shek was still looking for trouble for me. Now I can't mix it up in the China Merchants Bureau!" Wang Yaqiao exchanged glances with Wu Hongtai and Xuan Jimin, and they all felt as expected.
But he pretended to be confused and said, "Why did Brother Guo Jie xian say this?" You are the righteous chairman of China Merchants, the first chair of the hall. At the China Merchants Bureau, you should have said one thing and the other, so why did you suddenly say this, how can you not mix it up?"
Li Guojie cried and said, "Once upon a time, I was indeed very dashing. However, since Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Kasa sent Zhao Tieqiao to become the general office of the China Merchants Bureau, my life has been sad! Fuck, what the hell is Zhao Tieqiao?
This guy is loyal and honest on the surface, pretending to be a scholar. But when you spend a long time with him, you will know the treachery and stubbornness of this person. Now he is in the China Merchants Bureau, blocking all the ways that can make money for me.
Ninth Master, you said, how can I survive in the China Merchants Bureau?" Wang Yaqiao was already aware of Li Guojie's banquet, and his heart was secretly funny. Unexpectedly, he and Li Guojie actually coincided in the assassination of Zhao Tieqiao, but he still took care of him left and right, did not say anything about the right topic, and only waited for Li Guojie to take the initiative to explain.
Wang Yaqiao said, "We don't know who Zhao Tieqiao is. I don't believe that he is an outsider who dares to oppose us Anhui people? Besides, since your guojie brother has money in his hands, why should he be afraid of a literati showman?"
Li Guojie immediately approached and said, "Ninth Master, you are right. Non-toxic no husband. Now since he Zhao Tieqiao is not kind, I Li Mou is also unjust. Therefore, in desperation, I wanted to come and go, and suddenly remembered a person who could save me from the sea of suffering, he is your Wang Jiuye!"
"Me?! How can I save you?" Wang Yaqiao deliberately played dumb puzzles with Li Guojie, "I have neither power nor power in my hands. How can a poor egg shake the general office of a China Merchants Bureau?"
When Li Guojie saw that Wang Yaqiao was making a mistake, he said, "Ninth Master, don't sell Guanzi!" Whoever mixes in Shanghai Beach does not know the righteousness of the Ninth Master? Your Axe Gang, each of them is a cold-faced killer, dedicated to those aspirants who have been deceived by bullies.
Now that I'm being bullied by Zhao Tieqiao in Shanghai, can you stand idly by?" What, you want me to get rid of Zhao Tieqiao?" Wang Yaqiao narrowed his eyes in surprise and looked at Li Guojie's sweaty little white face.
Li Guojie said solemnly, "That's exactly what you mean, Ninth Master, now the only one who can save me is you." Please rest assured, after the fact, I Will never fail to express it. ”
As he spoke, he casually opened his leather bag, quietly felt a thick paper bag from it, and stuffed it into Wang Yaqiao's pocket: "This is a little meaning." Eight thousand pieces, first ask for a good luck. After the fact..."
"Well, since Guo Jiexian's brother was bullied in Shanghai, how could I, Wang Jiuguang, sit idly by and not save him?" Wang Yaqiao nodded the banknote and handed it to Li Guojie, saying, "However, is Brother Xian only willing to take this small change that is enough to drink tea when he does such a big thing?"
"No, no, Ninth Master, this little money is really not a tribute." I would like to invite you to drink tea with the brethren. Li Guojie suddenly turned his heart fiercely, "Well, the Ninth Master is also a figure who has seen the world, and I don't know how much money I give."
But first, please take care of it. As long as the result of the surname Zhao is done, I will give the Ninth Master a surprise when the time comes!" Wang Yaqiao asked Niu Anru to collect the money, drank a sip of wine, and said, "Tell me about it, what is the surprise?" Ninth Master, yes, the price of doing such a big thing, of course, I will not be unaware.
However, now that the banknotes of the China Merchants Bureau have all gone into his hands with Zhao Tieqiao, how could I take out so much money at once to honor the Ninth Master?" Li Guojie is also a shrewd figure in the business sea, he saw that Wang Yaqiao had accepted the assassination of Zhao Tieqiao, but he thought that the deposit he gave was too small, so he refused to make a decision. In order to facilitate this matter, and to let Wang Yaqiao act as soon as possible, Li Guojie said, "Well, in order to repay the kindness of the Ninth Master, I Li Guojie is willing to give up a big ship."
It's the 'Jiang'an' freighter of our China Merchants Bureau, which should always be a big gift, right?"
"Jiang'an freighter?" Wang Yaqiao was secretly surprised at first, he did not expect that Li Guojie, in order to kill an enemy Zhao Tieqiao, was willing to abandon a large ship traveling on the sea as a reward for him. Wang Yaqiao was overjoyed, thinking that a ship was of course more advantageous than Li Guojie sending him a few thousand yuan more, and if they had a big ship in the future, then from the Huangpu River to Hefei, there would be more convenient means of transportation.
It was just that Wang Yaqiao had multiple eyes and said, "Brother Guojie Xian, in fact, it is worth it to exchange the ship of the China Merchants Bureau for the head of Zhao Tieqiao, because you can let go of the money in the future." However, you must know that this 'Jiang'an' is public property after all, and if you give it to me, will you cause trouble in the future?"
"No, when did I, Li Guojie, say something I didn't believe?"
"Well, let's do what we say." Wang Yaqiao is worthy of being a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and immediately agreed to make a decision, "The official privately prints the documents." Since your guojie xian brother is willing to send such a big gift, he is always afraid of empty words and no evidence, right?"
Li Guojie patted his chest: "Ninth Master rest assured, I will immediately send someone to send you a contract, how?" Wang Yaqiao immediately replied, "Well, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." As soon as your contract arrives in my hand, we will immediately let Zhao Tieqiao's head land on the ground!"
Immediately, several axe gang members and Li Guojie made a plan in the Dahongyun Restaurant, and then raised their cups one after another and slammed into each other. At this point, the grand plan of killing the iron bridge was fixed in the cup change. Excerpt from the book On the Assassination of Wang Yaqiao in China.
