Chapter 300: Moon Flower Sunbathing Rice and Seeing White Lotus
Chu Qifu was a native of the Hanjiang River. He had been doing business in his family and was quite wealthy. He sent him to study in the West since he was a child. The place where he went to school was France. Shortly after he returned from his studies, he happened to meet France and encircled the Hanjiang city with a concession. It happened that the French consul in this concession was not someone else, but he happened to be his teacher Adolf when he was studying in France.
Since this teacher came to the Huaxia Concession, he would not have few students. Most of them met Chu Qifu. The one who was most valued was his friends at that time. With this relationship in it, Chu Qifu naturally became a prosperous concession. Not only did he do a big business, he even acted as an intermediary between China and Yang, and handled the relationship between the two parties in an orderly manner.
A few years ago, although the consul in the concession was not changed, he sent heavy troops and added a captain Paul to lead the troops. Paul had a bad relationship with Adolf, so he soon saw that he cultivated his own power in the concession and supported some Chinese.
Yuan Sanping, the Chinese businessman who had the most powerful battle with Chu Qifu in the inner city, was the largest force among them.
Originally, the two of them did not interfere with the river. Chu Qifu controlled all the freight passenger ships in the concession, heading west along the waterway to the Sichuan and Chongqing, east to the Haikou, transporting the local products to the coast and selling them from the West to the mainland. Yuan Sanping reselled antiques and Western artillery guns, all of which took the land route... But later, after the White Lotus Cult growing in the east, his land route was not very safe.
So, Yuan Sanping attacked Chu Qifu at the instructions of Captain Paul, saying that he would divide the inland water transportation evenly. Then the two fought, which led to the internal struggle between Adolf and Paul behind the scenes of the French Ministry of Industry. With the support of Chu Qifu's human and financial resources, Paul was soon defeated and completely lost to Adolf in the Ministry of Industry.
Although he lost, Yuan Sanping and Paul did not give up. Later, they simply used a secret trick and sent someone to plot against Chu Qifu. They knew in their hearts that if they plotted against Adolf and those who sat in this position were probably Adolf's students. They still had the same best friends as Chu Qifu; but if Chu Qifu could be eliminated, or if he could voluntarily distribute half of the water freight, then it would be possible.
In a few years, Chu Qifu was also assassinated six or seven times. Sometimes it was a cold gun on the street. Sometimes it was bribed by the figurines and poisoned them. But Chu Qifu was very lucky. Not only did he not die after several times, but Adolf put pressure on Paul through the Ministry of Industry and sent him a lieutenant deputy to balance the relationship.
The new lieutenant was a student of Adolf, so there is no need to say much about his intentions.
After a year or two, it seemed that it was calm, but who knew that something happened suddenly a few days ago - Chu Qifu's daughter fell ill for no reason at home, had no injuries on her body, had a trance and changed her temperament, and her behavior became abnormal. She often talked to people in an empty room, and there seemed to be someone in the family during her conversation... In addition, his daughter also refused to eat. If someone forced her to feed her, she would soon vomit, and the color became green like a slurry, which was very scary!
Chu Qifu's ex-wife never gave birth to a son and half of her daughter. Later, Xu Xian married the daughter of Shanxi's coal merchants. She finally gave birth to this child at the age of 40, and she regarded it as a treasure. After learning all this, the old man named Yue of the coal merchants immediately asserted that his granddaughter had been possessed by evil spirits and asked him to look for the famous ghost lady Yin Master in the Jianghan generation to cast spells for the child.
People like Chu Qifu who have drunk foreign ink did not believe in the saying of being possessed by evil spirits, but because the Western doctors were powerless, they had to do so. Who knew that after finding a few ghost mages, something even more strange happened!
After the ghost masters entered the home, they flew out of the seats, benches, or inkstones and vases from the empty room, and smashed them with blood. Otherwise, the mage suddenly went crazy, jumped out of the window, and fell to death...
When Chu Qifu was looking for a mage, the old man Yue also relied on his relationship in the world for many years to find the mages of the four major families he had heard of, including the Zhang family of Maoshan in the south, the Gazan family of the southeast, and the Shi family of the Sichuan and Chongqing Onmyoji in the west. After searching, he got news that for some reason, these three major families offended the local warlords and were sent to destroy and capture by the military commander, so they all had left their homes and fled, and their whereabouts were unknown!
However, this search was not completely unreal. He learned that the Onmyoji Yaotuo Zong, the master Mr. Kucha who had had several encounters with him, was on his way to Hanjiang City. He chased him all the way and finally found Mr. Kucha halfway and invited him to Hanjiang City.
When Mr. Kucha arrived in Hanjiang, he insisted on not going to the concession for medical treatment, saying that the time was wrong and there was something wrong, so he had to wait until Shen to enter. In a hurry, Chu Qifu couldn't care about so much, so he came out of the concession to inquire, and the scene at the beginning of the two Supreme Treasures.
Unexpectedly, after waiting around, there were the Supreme Treasure and Yu Shengyan who were waiting!
Due to the destiny of heaven, if there was no heavy rain, maybe the two of Suzu Bao and others would have caught up with Shi Pojun halfway and would not have come to Hanjiang City; if there was no Mr. Kucha, then Chu Qifu would not have left the concession; if Shi Pojun and others had not entered the concession, there would have been no Suzu Bao following Chu Qifu, wanting to find a way to enter... In this way, everything is arranged by God and protected by blessings!
To stand up for the Chu Qifu family, it was God's will to do what the Supreme Treasure did, and it must be done!
After hearing that Mr. Kucha finished all this, it was exactly what he said about Shen Shi. Although Supreme Treasure was worried about the arrest of the method by the warlords, this matter was not convenient for everyone to ask in front of everyone, and also heard that they had avoided it, so I suppressed it for the time being and said that I would go back to see the child's condition first...
The vehicles were prepared outside the inn. I immediately returned to the French Concession and arrived at a deep courtyard with high walls and high guards. The house was full of Western style, and the towers were different from what I had seen every day. The interior was extremely luxurious, and countless of the most advanced things were installed today - pipes that flowed through water, boxes that could sing, handles that could talk to others, and dolls that could move by themselves after a few turns...
Everything made Supreme Treasure feel extremely rare, as if he had entered another world.
Chu Qifu led everyone into the room. When he was instructing his subordinates to prepare dinner and tea, Supreme Treasure had already felt an unusual atmosphere. Without anyone's guidance, he slowly walked to the stairs and looked at it, then turned around and asked, "Well, I think your daughter's room should be the second floor above, right?"
Miss Yue, who was following closely behind him, was Chu Qifu's wife, and quickly said, "Yes, yes! Brother. My daughter is upstairs. The housekeeper and a few bodyguards are watching her." As she said that, she burst into tears again: "Please, you must save her!"
"Don't worry, leave this to me!" Supreme Bao nodded and said to everyone, "You sit down first. I'll go up and take a look..." "Agui. Please greet the guests." Chu Qifu quickly came over and accompanied Supreme Bao upstairs. Then the old man Yue followed up the stairs. As a result, all the Chu family went upstairs and left Mr. Kucha and others below.
Looking around, Qingmei reached out and gestured, "Are we going up too?" "No need!" The master of bitter tea waved, "It's OK to leave this matter to Baoer. He can deal with it himself - come, give us a few bowls of Western bitter tea from your master and make some snacks!"
He lay comfortably on the sofa: "Okay, let's all take a break, we don't care about this."
Without anyone to lead the way, Supreme Bao had found the little girl's room with his own feelings. He looked from the door that was pushed open. A thin girl was lying on the wide white breasts on the bed. Her hair was dry and her face was covered with blood. Her godless and empty eyes stared at the ceiling, and her face showed an extremely strange smile, her cracked lips squirming, and she said words that no one could understand...
The nurse and housekeeper around the side were as anxious as an ant on the hot pan. When he saw Chu Qifu, he even surrounded him and said that he could not let his children eat and drink. Chu Qifu looked at the Supreme Treasure and wanted to see what he had to say. Unexpectedly, when he saw him, he stared at the empty wall, just like his daughter once looked...
"Oh no, it seems that this heavenly master is not good either!" Chu Qifu said in his heart: "Like those invited heavenly masters, I looked at it for a while and then laughed strangely, and then jumped out of the window-" Thinking of this, his expression changed like this, and he was extremely disappointed and painful, and he was also thinking in his heart whether he would go out and ask the bitter tea master again...
Just as he was thinking, Yu Shengyan's voice sounded behind him: "Don't worry! Look at it's an empty wall. We Brother Bao doesn't think so. In his eyes, everything has been seen clearly... Hello, Brother Bao, have you seen something?"
When she shouted, Supreme Treasure turned around, shrugged and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just a few little ghosts. It seems that they are either plaguing ghosts or being surrendered - OK, everyone else will go out and let me deal with this matter!"
After hearing the Supreme Treasure's words, Chu Qifu felt at ease and quickly assigned all his servants to go out, ordered them to prepare dinner, greet guests, etc. - after just a few words, he suddenly heard two crisp sounds from behind him!
Looking back, the Supreme Treasure was pointing at the two shiny ancient copper coins on the floor and ordered to the air: "Okay, throw them in!" There was nothing in the room, just a hazy and mist-like appearance. But with the order, a strong wind suddenly rushed into the square hole of the copper coins, and the two coins suddenly jumped.
Then he walked up and picked up the copper coin, put it in a string of red lines, "Okay, it's already dealt with!"
"This, is it over?" The three of them asked together, unable to believe that he had just dealt with it. The Supreme Treasure nodded without saying much, but said to the empty room again: "Okay, come back first!"
Suddenly, the mist in the air turned into a line and instantly penetrated into Supreme Treasure's clothes!
"It's really over!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
