C12 Bribery Clerk

Don't be angry, benefactor," he lied. "How can there be a man who doesn't want to make money and doesn't want to leave his rich customers alone? Don't look at the poor monk's shabby appearance. He was a rich monk. I never beg for alms at meals. If you don't believe me, just look at it. " With a flick of his body, he produced a handful of silver coins and asked, "What do you see here? I don't eat for nothing but money.

When the waiter saw the silver, he was surprised. As expected, his appearance changed, and he immediately beamed with joy and said, "Master, please forgive me. I have eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. "

Ru Feng said, "Forget it. I've never liked to argue with people for long. " He threw out two more silver coins and said: "my humble self looks shabby, making people think that he's not rich. It's just him that tricked me. Actually, I have money. "My family's compound is dense, and there are still dozens of great businesses going on."

When the assistant heard this, he smiled and said, "What do you want after throwing out this money? "Please give me your instructions." Ru Feng said: "I won't trouble you too much. Bring a bowl of soup and a steamed bun to my humble self. The rest of the money, I'll give it all to you. " After Ru Feng finished speaking, he acted as if nothing had happened.

The shop assistant picked up the money happily and said repeatedly, "My apologies, my apologies. Master, please wait for a moment. You will be right there, right away. " He turned around and went into the kitchen, opened the pot and opened the drawer. As he did so, he muttered under his breath, "I never thought of a rich monk! "Good hospitality, very profitable."

Very quickly, he finished filling a bowl of fat soup, and then used a tray to place two snow-white steamed buns. He brought it over and respectfully placed it in front of Ru Feng: "If master wants anything else, just say the word.

Hearing his words, Ru Feng was secretly happy in his heart, and nodded: "There's no more, there's no more. "It won't be too troublesome." He took a bite of the steamed bun and muttered to himself, "In this life of my humble self, one's best friends are always friends. Money is never important;

That shop assistant really knew how to flatter, he agreed, "I can see it, I can see it. Master is welcome to visit the store often. Even though I am a shop assistant, I run the store for others. Every day, I make friends with people from all over the world. Among the various customers, I am particularly fond of making open-minded friends like Master. " With that, he smiled.

Ru Feng said: "That's good, that's good. We'll be friends from now on. "If there's anything, I'll come trouble you as well." The worker hurriedly replied, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all." The master has his orders. I hope you come often. "

Ru Feng chatted a little with him before wiping his mouth and taking his leave. Two days later, Ru Feng came back to eat again and gave him another two silver coins. That shop assistant was still happy, but before he left, he sent Ru Feng to the street. After that, Ru Feng would come every two days, and reward him with two pieces of silver essence each time.

The doorman did not know the reason why, but he was extremely intimate with Ru Feng and had already given up on him. Ru Feng was extremely happy, and knew that he succeeded. Thus, he once again went to find out about Yuan Shikai's situation.

As for Yuan Shikai, ever since that night when he had secretly met the Japanese envoy, Inoue Shizuo, he had been extremely happy everyday. He didn't care about the government at all. He spent every day with the beauties, singing and dancing. In the blink of an eye, the date he was looking forward to secretly meeting with Inoue Shizuo arrived.

In the morning, Yuan Shikai started to make arrangements. On one hand, he had sent the Eunuch Liu to contact Inoue Shizuo, and on the other hand, he had sent his own bodyguards to the Taibai Lou to arrange a further meeting place. His trusted aides and henchmen were busy all over the place.

It was almost noon, and the people that were sent out did not return. Yuan Shikai was sitting restlessly in his room, feeling anxious. The Eunuch Liu hurriedly returned and said, "As long as it's Mr. Jing, I have to go to the places that you have stayed at the last time. There is no one else. He probably came this time to stay at the Japanese embassy. We can't contact them right now. "

Yuan Shikai said: What he wants to do, there are places to hide. Can he live there? He muttered to himself, "Where did he stay last time?"

Eunuch Liu said: "The last time he came, he was recommended by Zheng Xiao Xu's friend, Mr. Yama Takashi, who lives in the Zheng Family. After that, he had stayed at one of the manors. He did not contact their embassy. " Yuan Shikai said worriedly, "Will he break his promise?"

Eunuch Liu muttered: "I don't think so. I think he arrived in Beijing yesterday. There are a lot of Japanese businesses here, so maybe he lives in those places. "

Yuan Shikai was worried again: "Could it be that this Japanese is going to be even more cautious than us?"

The Eunuch Liu replied: "Master, you have a great opinion. I think so. He was protected by a number of Japanese warriors, so he could live anywhere. He must have been acting in secret. Because he knows that the person he wants to meet is you, the person with the highest status, and that he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. " Yuan Shikai felt that it made sense and nodded.

Just as the two of them were speaking, the people sent to the Taibai Lou came back and said, "Everything over there has been arranged. Everything in and out of the building was normal. Business in the store was as depressed as ever. The house was empty, the streets deserted. We've booked the whole room upstairs and paid for it. "

Yuan Shikai was satisfied when he heard this. He picked up the phone, called the government office, found Secretary Lang, and said: "I have something to attend to today, no matter who it is, do not look for me. I won't be free until late afternoon. "

He only heard from the phone, "Now that everyone has gone to rest, no one will disturb you. Officials know that you are ill and that no one will disturb you unless it is a serious matter. I've done some small things for you. "

Yuan Shikai acknowledged and put down the phone. At this time, Eunuch Liu had already placed a grey robe and a hat beside him. When Yuan Shikai saw this, he looked at his pocket watch and immediately took off his noble attire and changed into his gown and hat. Eunuch Liu handed him sunglasses and cane. He dressed like a businessman. Yuan Shikai looked at himself in the mirror again and asked the person beside him: "Is the thing ready?"

The Eunuch Liu said from behind him, "It's all prepared. I've already sent someone to take the item. "

Yuan Shikai used a towel to wipe his face, and said: "Let's go now, don't fall behind me." Eunuch Liu took the towel from his hand and put it aside.

The two of them walked out of the room and out of the house. In a secluded corner, they got on two chartered cars that had been prepared in advance. With Eunuch Liu in front and Yuan Shikai at the back, he took the lead and rushed towards the Taibai Lou. In order to not attract attention, behind the two, there were six young bodyguards who were using martial arts to hide their guns.

At this time, Ru Feng had already grasped the situation over at Yuan Shikai's place through numerous inquiries, and knew that he would come in secret. Ru Feng changed into a new set of clothes and started with the Taibai Lou. When the clerk saw him, he was very polite. Ru Feng called him over to the top floor and asked: "Is there anyone who would like to rent a room today?"

The assistant said, "Master is wise, how do you know that someone has booked a room? "To tell you the truth, a few young people, who came yesterday and today, booked all the rooms and seats upstairs and said they would use them today."

Ru Feng nodded: "That's right. I'll wait for them upstairs. I'm friends with them. If they haven't paid yet, I'll pay for them. Don't tell them I'm here when they come. When they come in, all you have to do is say hello upstairs and let me know. You don't have to follow me either. " After saying that, he took out another fifty silver coins and handed it over to the shop assistant. "Take these first." When the shop assistant saw that the money was happy, he nodded his head and accepted the money.

In fact, he already had the bag of silver, and he still wanted to eat a double. He then offered a trick for Ru Feng: "If Master wants to hide everything from them, you can temporarily hide it under the curtain screen under the middle table. It would surprise them. I will not tell them beforehand. "

Ru Feng lifted the curtains and looked inside. He saw enough to hide a person. Thus, he sat down and waited upstairs. The clerk went downstairs, grinning.

At this time, Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu, two of them were walking smoothly, passing through many streets and alleyways, passing by a crowd of people, yet they did not attract the attention of pedestrians. Occasionally someone would look at them and see that they were dressed like a gentleman and that they were all elderly, so they paid even less attention to them.

Yuan Shikai never went out on the streets alone, and basically no one knew him. It was still early in the afternoon but they had already arrived at the T Street opposite of Taibai Lou. Yuan Shikai looked back at the bodyguards on the carriage. Seeing that they had not caught up, he felt a little uneasy.

He was still far from the Taibai Lou when he called for the carriage driver: "Stop first, wait for the people behind." Thus, he kept looking back.

The second coachman didn't know who he was pulling, he only felt that the two people on the carriage seemed to be of noble character. The two of them stopped the car and wiped their hands. Then, they chuckled as they helped the two of them off the car. The two of them got off the carriage, and the two coachmen courteously said, "Gentlemen, please leave, please leave."

Eunuch Liu took out two pieces of silver and gave them to the two: "These are for the two of you. After noon, come back early and wait here. When the time comes, I'll reward you with these. " The two coachmen were overjoyed as they said, "Thank you, gentlemen, for your generous rewards! We won't go anywhere, we'll just wait here and definitely serve you two gentlemen well. "

When the Eunuch Liu saw that it was still early, they got in the way and said: "Don't be so long-winded, go do some business and come back early." Only then did the two of them pull the carriage away.

At this time, the six bodyguards were already in front of him. Yuan Shikai's fear had calmed down. On a whim, he put his hand on the stick of civilization, and slowly took a look at the scenery around him.

The buildings that faced the street were all ancient buildings, with many damaged buildings; the shops did not have many people entering and exiting, and the business was not flourishing enough; the T Street under his feet, directly in front of the Taibai Lou, was devoid of pedestrians and cars. With a glance, it was obvious that there was a banana stall not far in front of him, and its owner was an old man who had come to greet a group of people.

"Fragrant and sweet bananas! "There's not much left, hurry up and buy it!"

A few women passed the stall and heard the cries of the sellers. They looked at the old man but did not ask him about it. They all said, "How expensive is it, who can afford it? "How much money do you make a day?" As he spoke, he passed by.

Seeing such a desolate scene, Yuan Shikai stopped and said to the Eunuch Liu, "No wonder you chose this place. It's so quiet." He stopped and looked around again, waiting for the three bodyguards who had gone to check in.

At this moment, the three bodyguards were entering the building. Ru Feng who was upstairs by the window had already seen them coming. Hearing that his bodyguard had gone downstairs, Ru Feng quickly hid himself. Very quickly, there was a series of stairs ringing. The three bodyguards went to look around upstairs. When they saw that there was no one in the room, they all ran back to their seats. They had not expected to find someone hiding under the table.

Hearing that they had gone downstairs, Ru Feng came out of his room to look at them through the window. Looking at the way the bodyguards were walking, he had a general idea of their martial arts skills.
