Chapter XXIII

Meng Shaoyuan has been smooth sailing since he came to this era.

Whether it is the case of Jiro Matsumoto or the case of Yang Xinli, it is very easy to handle.

But this time it's a hard deal.

Not only did there be no progress in the case, but there was also a humiliation.

The arrogant and domineering is none other than Xu Deshan.

"Captain Meng, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas." As soon as Mu Dekai came out, he pulled Meng Shaoyuan and walked forward: "Go, go, I'll ask you to take a bath." ”

"What? Bath? Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "What kind of bath are you taking now?" ”

"Hey, Captain Meng, you just said that from the south to the north, is there any place where people don't like to take a bath?" Mu Dekai smiled: "Wrapping water in the morning, wrapping skin in the afternoon, a great joy in life." We Nanjing people, there are four major pleasures, called visiting the south of the old city, climbing the Zhonghua Gate, eating firewood wontons, and taking a bath in the urn hall. Go, go, I'm in a treat, I'm in a treat. ”

Meng Shaoyuan had no choice, so he went with him.

In the area of Chaotian Palace in Nanjing, there is an ancient street and alley, and the road runs from northwest to southeast. From Hanxi Gate in the north to Luolang Lane in the south, it is an inconspicuous small street in the west of the city.

It is said that when the Nanjing Ming City Wall was first built, in order to solve the problem of bathing for military service husbands, some people built a bathhouse against the city wall, and people called it "Tangzi Street" at the time.

Because the bathhouse was made of white stone and white bricks with poor permeability, people called it "Jade Street" again, and later it was simply called "Tangzi Street" for convenience.

Nanjing's famous bathhouses are all here.

Like what urn hall, Sanqing Pool, Sanshan Bathroom, Daming Lake Bathroom and so on.

What Mu Dekai took Meng Shaoyuan to was the most famous urn.

Wengtang is the oldest bathhouse in Nanjing, and it is difficult to find an older bathhouse in the whole of China. The reason why it is called the urn hall is because the roof of the hall is like an inverted urn, and the highest part is a skylight for lighting, and no matter how much water vapor is on the dome, it will not drip water.

The jargon of selling chips at the door is called "old shelving", Mu Dekai bought chips, and as soon as he entered, he heard the elongated voice of the "old church" standing at the door waiting for the guests:

"Old, two!"

"What do you mean?" Meng Shaoyuan was confused.

"The old friend is the meaning of the guest." Mu Dekai smiled and said, "Don't look at this little bathhouse, there are many feasible words." For example, the number, from one to ten, cannot be shouted directly, but must be called 'slip, moon, wang, straight, middle, god, heart, chapter, love, lift'. The clothes of the guests are called 'top wind', and the cheongsam is called 'big tent'......"

Meng Shaoyuan listened and kept it firmly in his heart.

Taking off their clothes, the people who ran on the side took a fork that was almost more than two meters long, and forked their clothes on the wall nearly three meters above the ground and hung them.

This is to prevent the loss of guests' clothes, which is safer than the changing boxes of Meng Shaoyuan's time.

When he was undressing, Meng Shaoyuan happened to see a delicate sachet hanging from Mu Dekai's waist, and the words "Xiuhe" were embroidered on it: "Old Mu, what are you doing with this woman's clothes?" ”

"The boss is out of town." Runtang said with a smile: "This old friend must be a public meal, either a policeman or a soldier, or he is a knife licking blood." ”

Hey?

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned, how could he see this? Could it be that this runner is also an expert in micro-expressions?

Mu Dekai also smiled: "The rules of some places in Nanjing, the danger of eating this bowl of rice, so, ah, the wife of the family, embroider such a sachet for the man to bring, the bread here is their hair, and their names are embroidered on the outside. ”

So it was, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

It's not bad, I caught the first pool of water, stripped naked, and soaked in the bath, how comfortable it tasted to be.

The irritable mood that had been humiliated just now suddenly calmed down.

"Captain Meng, don't take that incident to heart just now." Mu Dekai soaked in the water and enjoyed it with his eyes closed: "Xu Deshan is that kind of person, unless our Director Dai comes in person, or just our little spies, he really doesn't see it." ”

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask, "Lao Mu, what kind of business do you say this Hang Lung Trade is doing?" ”

"What business? On the surface, it is a flour business, but in fact, it ......" Mu Dekai lowered his voice when he said this: "Casinos, halls, everything." The most profitable business is still the smuggling business.

This guy has cooperated with many international foreign companies, and he earns a bulging wallet every year. What cigarettes, faucet muslins, hardware, Western medicine, rubber tires, what makes money, what he smuggles.

Forget about these, do you know what Xu Deshan is still smuggling? Ammunition! This kind of arms can be smuggled by ordinary people? Therefore, he takes out a lot of oceans every year to honor and touch all kinds of characters. What the Ministry of Finance, the Transportation Bureau.

Hey, there is another sentence, that is, let's talk about it in private, don't spread it. Once I was drinking with Lao Kong, and Lao Kong told me that Director Dai had been red-eyed for a long time, and he had always wanted to intervene, but he never found a chance. ”

An idea suddenly appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.

He gave Dai Li 100,000 oceans before, and Dai Li gave it to himself without even looking at it.

Dai Li's personal personal does not love money, but if Lixing Society wants to develop and grow rapidly, the demand for funds must be huge.

Song Ziwen of the Ministry of Finance established the Tax Police Corps, and its equipment is not inferior to the elite German armor division of the national army, what does it rely on?

Money!

What can't you buy with money?

Whoever has a lot of money in his hands has a lead!

The smuggling industry has huge benefits, and it is impossible for Dai Li to remain indifferent.

You must know that Dai Li, in the future, has established a huge smuggling empire!

Meng Shaoyuan knew what he should do: "Lao Mu, can you get the nearest time, time and route for Xu Deshan's smuggling?" ”

"That's fine." Mu Dekai suddenly came to his senses: "Captain Meng, what do you want to do?" You can think clearly, if you want to move Xu Deshan's goods, it will really be a complete face. We are just small spies, even if we suffer a little loss, we can't offend him. ”

"Who said I was going to touch his goods?" Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "I just want to deal with Boss Xu, maybe I can hand it over to a friend." Lao Mu, don't soak it, hurry up and finish washing it. I'll be waiting for you in the bathhouse. ”

Mudkai couldn't laugh or cry.

What is this master planning in his heart?

"Let's go." Meng Shaoyuan began to drive him away.

"Cheng, Cheng, I'll go, I'll go, who made you the captain?"

Mu Dekai muttered and crawled out of the bath: "Come on, touch this old friend, and call another three or six sons, a bowl of a thousand pieces." ”

(Old touch: rub back.) Sanliuzi: Wine. Senjo: Noodles. )

As soon as Mu Dekai left, Meng Shaoyuan's comfortable whole person was soaked in the water.

It's comfortable, it's so enjoyable.
