Chapter 122: The Explosion (Part 1)

After Leng Feng came out, he saw Gu Shuan still waiting for him, so he walked over: "Uncle Lao Shuan, let's go."

Gu Shuan froze on the spot, Leng Feng turned around: "What's wrong?"

Gu Shuan smiled awkwardly, wiped his dusty beard with his sleeve, lifted his coat on his body, and waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing. After you leave, no one will call me Uncle Lao Shuan anymore.

It’s weird, let’s go, let’s go, the rain won’t stop for a while, let’s go to the duty room and have a drink.”

It was a complete coincidence that Leng Feng called him Uncle Lao Shuan... Isn't it just like this in TV dramas?!

Gu Shuan is from Shandong, but in the area near Beiping, everyone is called Master Shuan. Calling each other "Master" is a habit left by Old Beiping. Even if they are not Manchus, they are all called like this. Only that one is alone in Gu Shuan

When he was working as a train conductor on duty in Baoding Prefecture, he asked Leng Feng, a child he took in who was about to starve to death, to call him Shuan Shuan. This was the custom of Shandong people. Calling him uncle means being intimate.

When I came to the conductor's duty room, in a small room, there was a partition, a bed, a small table, a coal-burning stove, a raincoat hanging on the wall, a spare kerosene lamp, and a camphor wood box under the bed. These were

All the belongings of Gu Shuan are gone.

"Come on, come on, the sesame cakes that were just baked in the morning are still hot. Try them and remember your favorite ones before." Gu Shuan took off two crispy sesame cakes from the stove and handed them to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng sat in front of the small table, broke off a piece of sesame seed cake and put it into his mouth. The strong smell of coal in the crispy sesame seed cake made him choke.

The smell of "keke" was so familiar. When he was on the roof of the car, the smell in Leng Feng's nostrils and mouth was more than a hundred times stronger than the cinder smell of sesame cakes.

Gu Shuan smiled twice: "Forgot, forgot, you are already the chief detective now. By the way, I have a good thing here, hey, wait." After that, Gu Shuan stood up from under the bed with his butt raised.

Pull out the heavy camphor wood box, open it, and take out a green leather thing.

When I put it on the table, I saw it was a military can.

"Come, try it! Last time, there was a military column that stopped here. A battalion commander and I are fellow villagers. Hey, he gave me one and I was reluctant to eat it. Now I have met a noble man. Come on, open the ancient

Shuan obviously doesn't know how to tinker with this round can, so he doesn't know how to open it.

Leng Feng said quickly: "Uncle Shuan, no need, no need. This thing is rare, keep it. The sesame cakes are very delicious. I haven't tasted this flavor for a long time. I was locked out for smoking when I was passing through the cave.

Let the coal ballast choke you."

Gu Shuan held a long cigarette pot and smoked while looking at the rain outside. Then he looked at Leng Feng and asked: "You went to Jinling a few years ago. At first, you sent letters to your uncle Shuan, but after a year

Why has there been no news since then? I asked someone to inquire, but I couldn’t find out where you have been in the past few years."

Leng Feng: "It's a long story. So many things have happened in the past few years that I was caught off guard. But it's nothing. I just listen to Shangfeng and do whatever Shangfeng tells me to do."

Gu Shuan nodded repeatedly: "I'm pinching you, I'm pinching you. I thought you were leaving from Peking. I thought you were following Ren Ga and walking to the west entrance. I didn't expect that after eating the rice bowl of the police, you would go back to Peking and become a detective."

At that time, I was shocked."

Leng Feng ate half of the sesame seed cake: "Uncle Shuan, you are laughing at me. Where is Peking? At the foot of the emperor, what is that called? Throwing a brick can hit a red top (a nickname for officials in the Qing Dynasty)."

I, the detective, am just a yamen catcher, and I can’t get on the stage.”

Gu Shuan opened his mouth: "But you have become successful. Look, you are wearing a dress, your accent has changed, and your words are smooth. But, Leng Feng, when you returned to Peking, you were transferred back, right?"

Leng Feng: "It's considered a secondment. It won't be long before I have to be transferred again."

Gu Shuan's disappointment was palpable, but he still managed to speak out: "I'm carrying this bowl of rice and being controlled by others. I can't do anything about it. It's okay. If it's irrelevant, just come to me. I still have some respect here.

When the time comes, come and be a conductor and feel comfortable!"

"The rain has stopped! Get ready to drive!" The locomotive whistle sounded outside, and it was time for Leng Feng to leave.

Leng Feng said: "Uncle Shuan, buy a house and have a wife."

Gu Shuan: "What kind of mother-in-law do you want? I am a half-blooded person. Don't harm others. Besides, if I am a poor guy, I won't give her any comfort, so I won't buy a house. I am the one who owns this place."

A place to stay and less trouble”

Leng Feng pursed his lips, smiled, and patted the soot on Gu Shuan's body: "Then I'll leave first. I'll come back to you when the report is ready."

Gu Shuan: "Go and get busy."

After sending Leng Feng off, Gushuan returned to the duty room, took off his coat and made a "bang" sound. Something fell. Gushuan looked down and almost jumped up. He saw a big yellow croaker.

This was enough for him to buy a small yard in Peiping. Gu Shuan took a deep breath and sat down on the bed, looking at the big yellow croaker. After a while, Gu Shuan found a piece of cloth, wrapped the gold bar and put it on.

He took off his coat, walked out, and shouted: "Anzi! Anzi! Keep an eye on me, I'll go to Peking!"

A young conductor said: "Okay, how many days will it take for Mr. Shuan to go to Peking?"

Gu Shuan groaned: "Go back as soon as you go, I'll take the carriage!" Gu Shuan's carriage was the station's carriage. Sometimes it was used by people from the station to pull goods from the county town, and sometimes it was also used to pull people.

"Hey! Mr. Shuan, people from the cotton mill will be coming to unload the goods in a while. How about you take their truck to Peiping?"

Gu Shuan: "Yes?"

"It should be here in about an hour. The next train will arrive in the evening. The cotton cloth will be transported away. The truck from the cotton mill will unload the goods and leave. Those wheels are very fast, faster than four hooves."

Gu Shuan thought for a while and said, "Call me when you get there."

Back in the house, Gu Shuan was sulking and didn't know why.

……………………

I only had to stop at Baoding Station on the way, unload some goods, and then go straight to Peiping without any incident along the way.

It was midnight when we arrived in Peking, and we were delayed for several hours because we had to take shelter from the rain. At this time, the train could pick up speed slowly, and it would take a long time to stop and start again.

In the middle of the night, the people who picked up the train were all yawning and bleary-eyed. When they heard the sound of the train whistle in the distance, they all cheered up.

The car stopped. After Leng Feng got off the bus, he was looking blankly at the ancient railway station in Peiping, with a look on his face as if he didn't know where to go. When a policeman with a baton saw Leng Feng, he shouted: "Inspector Leng."

?You are back?"

Wow, you really can’t infiltrate secretly. How come you have so many acquaintances!

This was one of my former subordinates who knew me and happened to send Leng Feng to the new police station in Beiping.

"What, the police station has moved?" Leng Feng asked.

"No, this is not a few days ago. I don't know why. The police station made a noise and blew up the evidence room in the middle of the night. Zheng Xiu temporarily moved it to another place." The patrol officer's description was very exaggerated, which made Leng

Feng thought that the building had been bombed, but in fact, it was a coincidence that the director's office was affected, which led to the so-called relocation.

Leng Feng: "Oh? Who is so brave?"

The patrolman said mysteriously: "I heard it was done by a Japanese idiot."

Leng Feng: “!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Patrolman: "What a coincidence. Hey, a few days ago, we just arrested two stupid people for reselling opium. We were thinking that if this batch of opium passed through our hands and sold it, we would get some money.
