In Nanjing at the beginning of November, it was already very cold at night.

Pedestrians on the street are in a hurry.

Chen Miao put on a gray coat and put the collar up to block the cold wind, and walked along the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Painting boats docked at the water's edge, lanterns hung high, and women with heavy makeup kept throwing this flattering look at the guests on the shore.

Some of them are bold, and even rush up and directly drag the guests to their own painting boats, half pushing and half ......

There are also many Western-style dance halls in Nanjing. Eroticism, the best choice for entertainment and pastime.

After a military disaster, many wealthy people in Nanjing fled, and even after the war, many people returned, which was much worse than before.

Most of the painting boats on the Qinhuai River were also destroyed in the war, and the rest were also lucky to escape the war at the beginning, and then put together.

The quantity and quality are not comparable to those of the year.

Chen Miao saw that there were still Japanese officers and soldiers coming and going in the painting boats along the river, and there were quite a few of them, which should have been a place for elegance with the wind, but now it has become such a vulgar place.

"Sir, do you want to buy roses?"

Chen Miao was stopped by a little boy dressed in a single coat, carrying a bamboo basket full of roses, some of which were already in full bloom and some of which were waiting to be released.

The little boy shivered in the cold wind, his little face was a little frozen, and he looked at Chen Miao with a pair of dark pupils and hopeful eyes.

"Little brother, if you want me to buy your flowers, you have to answer me a question." Chen Miao is worried that he can't find anyone to ask for directions, on this river, there are more than a dozen painting boats, if you look for them one by one, how do you know where the painting boat called "Yilan" is?

The little boy selling flowers in this area must be familiar, and whoever will buy the roses in his hand is naturally those who enter the painting boat to seek. Rejoicing benefactor.

"Sir, you must want to know that the girl on that boat is the most beautiful?" The little boy opened his mouth and came.

"That's smart, but I'm not asking about the girl on that boat who is the most beautiful, I'm trying to ask, is there a boat called 'Yilan'?"

"Oh, Mr. is really good at picking, Yilan Painting Boat is one of the best painting boats on our Qinhuai River, and the most beautiful girl is Xinyu Girl, but, looking at you like this, it is estimated that there is no chance......" The little boy looked Chen Miao up and down and said.

"Oh, does this jade girl have any requirements?"

"Of course, if you have the right, then naturally there is no problem, since ancient times, the people do not fight with officials, if you have money, there is no problem, painting boats do business, no girl can't get along with money, if you don't have this, then you are talented and good-looking, and it is okay, but, I see you like this, I am afraid that there is no chance." The little boy sighed.

"Why, I don't look like a rich man?"

"Do rich people still need to walk on their own?"

"Hehe, little ghost, you're really observant, but I still have to tell you that what you see with your eyes may not be true, okay, I'll buy your roses." Chen Miao smiled.

"How many do you want?"

"Even the basket in your hand, I want it all." Chen Miao smiled slightly, took out two oceans from his pocket and handed them over, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough, enough, thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle......"

Chen Miao looked at the little boy who hid the ocean close to him and ran away, carrying this basket of roses, and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that he has never bought flowers for Liang Xueqin, this basket of roses, after finishing his errands in a while, go to her.

Since this "Yilan" painting boat is one of the best painting boats on the Qinhuai River, it is rare to find it, Chen Miao walked all the way with a flower basket.

Peach leaf Watanabe, a three-storey painting boat, colorful small lamps dotted the eaves, flashing, the decoration is beautiful, there is the sound of silk bamboo wind music constantly coming out, more traditional Chinese characteristics, not much worse than the Paramount in Shanghai.

At the ferry, two young women dressed in colorful cheongsams were soliciting guests, and many cars and rickshaws were also parked in the open space near the ferry.

From time to time, a well-dressed and pot-bellied person got out of the car, and the one who was short and had a handful of Ren Danhu knew at a glance that it was Japanese.

Chen Miao observed on the opposite side of the ferry, smoked a cigarette, and then walked towards the wooden bridge on the ferry with the basket of roses he had just bought.

"Sir, we don't allow flowers to be sold here?"

"Do you think I need to make money by selling flowers?" Chen Miao snorted coldly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're carrying a basket ...... flowers"

"I just bought it, don't you allow guests to bring the roses they bought on board?" Chen Miao showed a hint of displeasure slightly.

"No, no, you misunderstood, you carried a basket of flowers on the boat like this, it will make others think that you misunderstood." The woman who greeted the guest explained while apologizing.

"Then I'll put this blue here, turn around, I'll get it, this is always okay, right?" Chen Miao put down the flower basket, took out a rose from it, folded it, and inserted it into the pocket above his coat.

"Okay." The painting boat opens the door to welcome guests, how can there be a reason to turn away guests, looking at Chen Miao's dress, he doesn't look like the kind of person who has no money to spend.

Chen Miao entered the painting boat, which was completely different from the outside.

"I'm sorry, I'll look for Boss Jin." Chen Miao didn't know who the person he wanted to see was, and there was only one useful clue called "Boss Jin".

"Sir, are you looking for Boss Jin?" The maid who was asked was a little surprised.

"Yes."

"You come with me." The maid bowed slightly, led Chen Miao through the lively hall, went to the back cabin, and then went up the stairs and walked up the third floor of the painting boat step by step.

The bottom floor is a song and dance performance, anyone who has money can enter the consumption, of course, the consumption here is not cheap, I am afraid that it is not much cheaper than the Changsantangzi in the Shanghai Concession.

"Sir, Boss Jin is in this room." The maid led Chen Miao to the door of a room, which was still a Japanese-style sliding door.

In order to cater to the Japanese, it is understandable that the three-story wing room was renovated in a Japanese style.

Chen Miao hesitated, but still reached out to open the door and walked in.

After entering, there was also a screen, Chen Miao didn't directly see the people inside, he could only see the silhouette of a kneeling person reflected on the screen.

"Here we are."

"Boss Jin is so mysterious, do you really think you are so unsightly?" Chen Miao smiled, and as soon as the person inside spoke, he could tell who the other party was.

As soon as Boss Jin raised his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly, he was also taken aback, got up, stared at Chen Miao and said, "Why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me, Brother Ming Chu?" Chen Miao looked at Chen Mingchu, who was disguised as a Japanese in front of him, and felt a little funny.

"Director Lin just said that he would send someone to Nanjing in the near future, why didn't I think it would be you?" Chen Mingchu took off his disguise and said, "Didn't you go back to your hometown in Suzhou with Boss Qin to save your family?" ”

"Looks like you know a lot." Chen Miao said, "The provincial relatives are just hiding people's eyes, my real task is to come to Nanjing to find you, Boss Jin, to get something." ”

"Director Lin's trust in you is really very human, and I can compare." Chen Mingchu couldn't help but sigh.

"Having said that, Director Lin is so secretive this time, and even asked me to come to Nanjing to pick up something from you under the cover of provincial relatives, what is this?"

"You don't know?"

"How do I know, the director didn't tell me." Chen Miao had a "ridiculous question you asked" expression.

"Our No. 76 Nanjing District Mayor Tang Ruiming, you know, right?"

Chen Miao rolled his eyes, this question is even more idiotic, this is a well-known thing in No. 76, how can he say that he is also a middle-level cadre of No. 76, how can he not know?

However, since he came to be a listener, he should cooperate, and nodded at the moment.

"Why did Deputy Director Tang come to Nanjing, and I won't say much about the reason." Chen Mingchu said, "After Deputy Director Tang came to Nanjing, he began to cultivate private forces, reuse his cronies, and also incorporated several bandit teams, which is nothing, whoever sits in this position must have obedient people, then they don't need their own people, who to use, the key is that Deputy Director Tang secretly connected with Chongqing again, in addition to secretly providing intelligence to the Central Union, he also privately raised a special agent training class, which was personally responsible for his younger brother, and there were already hundreds of people under him." ”

When Tang Ruiming went to Nanjing to be the district head, it was actually Lin Shiqun's plan, if Tang Ruiming stayed in Shanghai, he would also be the deputy director, and he had a very good relationship with Ding Mohan, so the two of them would inevitably join forces to suppress him.

Of course, Lin Shiqun did not allow this situation to happen, and took advantage of Tang Ruiming's ambition to be his own and his unwillingness to intervene in the battle between him and Ding Mohan, and gave him the position of the head of Nanjing District, so as to make a forward station for the Wang family to return to Nanjing.

This is a hot position, if it is done well, it will be able to go straight to the center of power in the future, and without the constraints of Ding and Lin, he can let go and cultivate his own strength, and when the time comes, when Ding and Lin are defeated, he can come out and clean up the mess.

"Director Lin received some secret reports and found that there was an important information leak, and after secret investigation, it was found that the problem appeared in Nanjing District, so I arranged to go to Nanjing District to take up a post, in fact, my main task in Nanjing was to secretly investigate the problem of Deputy Director Tang's fornication in Chongqing." Chen Mingchu explained.

"So that's the case, no wonder you often go back to Shanghai, it turns out that you secretly report the progress of the investigation to Director Lin." Chen Miao understood, "But since you have all the evidence, why do you want me to go on a trip, you go back to Shanghai in person and hand over the evidence to Director Lin, isn't it over?" ”

"If this is handed over by me, then my identity will not be exposed, how should I explain to Director Ding?" Chen Mingchu smiled. "It's different if you were to change it, no matter who you get this evidence from, you can't suspect me, can you?"

Chen Miao nodded, I have to say that what Chen Mingchu said is not wrong at all, with his relationship with Chen Mingchu in No. 76, even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that Chen Mingchu would hand over the evidence obtained from the investigation to Chen Miao to make meritorious contributions.

"Actually, I should have thought it was you, but I didn't think about it that way." Chen Mingchu patted his head and said, "You are in harmony with Qin Se, the boss of Qin, and it is a bit unexpected to suddenly return to your hometown to save your relatives, but it is also reasonable, or our Director Lin is scheming." ”

"What will Director Lin do with Deputy Director Tang?" Chen Miao asked.

"I don't know about this, but with Deputy Director Tang's relationship at No. 76, I should be able to save my life." Chen Mingchu said.

"I don't think so." Chen Miao shook her head, "It seems that this time, I'm going to touch your light." ”

"Brother Sanshui, don't you see that Director Lin is here to help you get to the top." Chen Mingchu sighed and said, "You have all the ability and talent, and you lack the credit and prestige now." ”

"Yes, Brother Ming Chu." Chen Miao smiled, "Why don't you break off the connection with Chongqing?" ”

Chen Mingchu smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide anything from Brother Sanshui's fiery eyes, no way, my old parents and family are in the hands of Boss Dai, you know Boss Dai's personality, if I don't agree, what will be the consequences?" ”

"Brother Ming Chu, you are playing with fire." Chen Miao snorted playfully, "You give me such a big credit, should I denounce you in front of Director Lin?" ”

"Brother Sanshui, we were colleagues in the past and now, you won't be so ruthless and unjust, right?" Chen Mingchu was stunned.

"Fumin Hospital assassinated Lao Ma, have you been involved in this matter?"

"No, absolutely not, I will at most reveal some information to them, I will not be involved in such a thing as murder, and besides, they will not believe me." Chen Mingchu categorically denied it.

Chen Miao nodded slightly: "I believe what you said, Brother Ming Chu, give you a word of advice, now turn back, it's still too late." ”
