Chapter 5: Encounter with Lou Zhenhua

It was not until he saw him walk into the courtyard next door that Zheng Chaoyang remembered where this place was.

Suddenly a child walked out from the yard. Isn’t this Shazhu?

It seems that there are no good people in this courtyard, and the emperor's predictions were all correct.

We can't just wait here, it's still early, go and kill some spies.

At least we can't let them have it too easy.

Not long after he left, Tian Zao came out again, wearing a different outfit.

Dayong and others brought her a good news that Han Qingkui was going to the theater with his concubines to listen to some music tonight.

She must kill Han Qingkui on her way to avenge her father.

"Sister Zao."

"Why are you here? Go back quickly! This is my own business, don't get involved!"

"Sister, how can this be your own business? You are our sister!"

"I'll tell you again, whoever goes with me today, don't call me sister from now on!"

Dayong knew Tian Zao's temper, so he could only take his men to agree.

Zheng Chaoyang started from Luoguxiang and killed several spies on the list one after another. At least he could clear some obstacles before the army entered the city, right?

He was alone and weak at the moment and couldn't make much noise.

[penta kill, the magazine of the Republic of China Type 17 Mauser pistol has been strengthened to the maximum value]

[Unstoppable, the Republic of China Type 17 Mauser pistol adds a grenade launcher, the current maximum bullet capacity is 1/1, referring to the design of the German "Panzerfaust 150" in World War II, drawing on the design concept of the Soviet RPG-2, and can be equipped with grenades of various specifications]

The pistol in his pocket suddenly swelled up, and Zheng Chaoyang was so scared that he threw it directly into the space.

Looking at the bulging coat pockets, he smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, we had just dealt with a few spies and obtained a few Browning M1935s from them as backup.

These spies are so damn rich!

Just as he was about to find the next spy, he heard shouting in the distance, and the next second he saw Wan Linsheng and the people from the Secret Service rushing into the barber shop in front.

This Wan Guizi has such a sensitive sense of smell!

That’s not right. Shouldn’t he have arrested my brother Zheng Chaoshan?

Why did it suddenly appear here?

Forget it, avoid their attack and retreat first!

I'm not admitting defeat, but a technical retreat.

Not far from here is Xiehe Hutong, and not far further is Dongdan.

A Ford car drove past and then backed up.

"Chaoyang? Is that you?"

Zheng Chaoyang didn't wait for the other party to react. He opened the car door and got in directly, saying to the driver, "Drive!"

The Ford did not stop and continued to drive forward.

"Why are you here?"

"You know everything about me?"

"Know a thing or two."

"After all, the Lou family is known as half of the city. Is there a safe place to chat for a while?"

The car drove forward and turned into a mansion.

"Old Qian, just park your car and go home!"

"Okay, boss."

Following the man in a suit and leather shoes, Zheng Chaoyang entered the door and inquired about the situation outside before closing the door. "Is the master back? The ladies are upstairs!"

"Is there any food at home? Send some to the study."

Lou Zhenhua, who had just closed the study door, walked towards the sofa.

"You know that you are wanted everywhere in the city, why are you still running around?"

"How can I be afraid of such useless people like them? On the contrary, you have been doing very well these days. Living in such a big ancestral house, I really envy you!"

"If someone else said this, I would just think they were talking nonsense. But you are Zheng Chaoyang, I believe what you say."

Lou Zhenhua walked to the bookshelf, and there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Master, time is short, these are the only snacks we have."

"Thank you, Wang Ma."

After taking the tea, Lou Zhenhua locked the study door again.

He placed the tray on the coffee table in front of Zheng Chaoyang. "Just make do with what you have. Have you figured out how to get out of the city?"

"Originally, I was planning to ask Xian Dengkui for help."

"Xian Dengkui, the leader of the action team of the Sijiu City Security Bureau? Can he be trusted? A sow can climb a tree!"

"Do you still remember what you said to me? There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends, only interests!"

"Of course, it's a famous quote from Benjamin Disraeli, leader of the British Labour Party! I can help you get out of the city. Where do you want to leave the city?"

"Xizhimen"

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. There just happens to be a batch of medicinal herbs coming from Baoding recently."

With Lou Zhenhua's intervention, Zheng Chaoyang saved himself a lot of trouble.

"Old Lou, do you know your way out?"

"Mine? Or my entire Lou family? What do you know? Just tell me!"

"Although I am not loyal to the party by saying this, as a friend, I must warn you to go south as soon as possible and not stay in the Forty-Nine City!"

"I thought you were going to say something shocking! You know that our Lou family has been doing business since the Qing Dynasty. We have seen Hu Xueyan short-selling and stockpiling goods, and witnessed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacking Shanghai. China is in such a mess, but our Lou family is still prosperous! Why? Because of courage! I, Lou Zhenhua, have been in business for half a year. If I can't stand such a storm, how can I call myself a merchant family?"

"Logically, I have advised you and you didn't listen, so I have nothing to say. However, since you offered to help me get out of the city, I will say one more thing. The south is where you can settle down, not in Guangzhou, but in Hong Kong!"

Now Lou Zhenhua dared not take it lightly.

In fact, many people in the family have discussed the future of the Lou family.

Almost no one is optimistic about staying on this path.

"If we go there, the Lou family will be left with nothing!"

"Although it's also very chaotic over there, it's a bigger stage for your Lou family."

While eating heartily, Zheng Chaoyang stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote something quickly on the paper, and handed it to Lou Zhenhua.

"Did you come up with all this yourself?"

"Don't worry about it. Shrimps have their own way, and crabs have their own way."

"One move affects the entire body. I can't answer you now, but thank you for reminding me."

"Donate the steel mill in the eastern suburbs as soon as possible. Don't hesitate, and leave the city immediately. What time is it now?"

"Would you like to use this Movado watch?"

"I won't be polite with you. With all the contributions you have made to the organization over the years, I shouldn't stop you from making further progress, but let's not talk about it. I'll come here to find you later, and you just need to send me out of Xizhimen. Someone will meet me outside the city."

The two of them walked out of the study room one after the other, and saw a half-grown girl approaching them with a smile on her face, "Dad, when did you come back?"

"Xiao'e, call someone! This is Uncle Zheng."

The little girl looked at the sunny uncle in front of her shyly.
