C13 Parcels

The three bodyguards returned to Yuan Shikai and said, "Everything in the room is normal. The man in the well hasn't arrived yet. We've all looked closely at the floor above and below. There are no signs of danger. "

Yuan Shikai acknowledged, and seemed to want to say something, but managed to swallow it back down after a few mouthfuls. The Eunuch Liu saw that he wanted to say something but stopped in his tracks: "Master, the wind outside is very strong, so we are still far from the building, why don't we go in and wait? "He should be arriving soon."

Yuan Shikai nodded: "Seeing the unprosperous city here, is really disheartening. I was just about to go in, too. I was in a hurry and forgot to have a cup of tea. Now I'm thirsty. "

The Eunuch Liu replied anxiously, "I thought of that. I brought tea and went in to drink it. "

Yuan Shikai said: "Luckily you thought it through carefully, otherwise I would not be able to drink the other teas." After he finished speaking, he walked toward the Taibai Lou.

Eunuch Liu turned around and warned the six bodyguards, "Don't go too far away and wait right in front of the door. Don't look like there are no signs of danger, just in case. If anything happens to you, be careful of your heads. "

The six of them said in unison, "We just went in to take a look, and it is quiet here. Nothing will happen. Rest assured Mister. "

Both of them opened their arms, showing their guns as they said, "Look, we've brought enough fellows. We can guarantee that they'll be safe."

Another person said, "Mr. Liu, you don't understand us. We all have experience in going out and working. Our brothers have followed the old master for many years. There was never any mistake. "

When the Eunuch Liu heard this, he was finally relieved. He took from one of the bodyguards a package wrapped in green satin, in which was a small square box. From the outside, the shape of the box could be seen. Inside was the priceless treasure that Yuan Shikai had prepared to give to Inoue Shizuo. Eunuch Liu grabbed his bag and quickly chased after Yuan Shikai.

Ru Feng had a clear look at the treasure from upstairs and knew that Eunuch Liu was carrying it. He had gathered enough strength to take it. Seeing that the six bodyguards did not follow him, Ru Feng was secretly happy, and started chanting: "The heavens are on my side!" He no longer hid under the table. Instead, he moved to the side of the staircase and waited for the two to arrive.

Yuan Shikai arrived at the Taibai Lou gate and walked up the stairs. Seeing that Eunuch Liu was not following behind him, he stopped and turned his head, waiting. The Eunuch Liu hurriedly neared him. He then picked up the pearl curtain and slowly walked inside.

Upon seeing the two, the guard hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "Gentlemen, please enter!" Yuan Shikai would never entertain a scene like this. He turned his head and ignored her.

The Eunuch Liu said to the servant: "We sent someone to reserve it first. It's upstairs." The waiter said with a smile, "Please forgive me for being muddle-headed. It turns out that esteemed guest has arrived. "My apologies, my apologies!"

Then he shouted upstairs, "The guests from upstairs have arrived! "Please come upstairs!" He was informing Ru Feng of his words, and when Ru Feng heard him, he smiled slightly, and immediately got everything ready.

After the shop assistant finished shouting, he did not follow behind them. He turned around and said to the customers who were eating: "Everyone, please enjoy yourself. There's something you need to say." He hurried into the kitchen and hurried the order upstairs.

Several customers then started to discuss, "The two of you who just came in were really impressive. "How can the one in front not care about others?"

"Ahem, I think the two of them are just stinky businessmen. What's so great about it? Isn't it the same as our small business, where we spend all our time thinking about the price and worry about buying and selling? "

When one of the Tianjin people heard his words, he looked around and said in a low voice, "My two brothers, you are saying that you are in the wrong. These two people just now don't compare to us. He had money and power. The one in front, I don't know; the one in the back, Liu, I know. Do you know about his business? He was the steward of President General Yuan's residence. How could he not know how old he was and how old he was? He went to our Boss Pinggang in Tianjin. I met him before, so I know him. He's much better than us. Didn't you see? I might not know the one in front, but he's even more pretentious than me. "

At this time, Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu were stopping and looking at the environment downstairs. After they finished looking, they walked towards the stairs. When they reached the stairs, they looked at the tall, steep wooden steps and slowly climbed them.

Ru Feng secretly peeked his head out and saw Yuan Shikai in front with a bundle in his hand. The Eunuch Liu followed closely behind and all of them lowered their heads. Ru Feng took the chance and walked out, pretending to go downstairs. Yuan Shikai only had one more level left to go and was looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, he saw a fat monk walking towards him. His heart tightened as he stopped in his tracks. He saw clearly that the monk did not seem to be looking at him and was about to go downstairs. Relieved, he gripped his cane and stepped onto it.

Ru Feng purposely avoided the moment where he passed by Yuan Shikai and passed by the Eunuch Liu without alerting him. He reached out and grabbed the bag in Eunuch Liu's hands, used his feet to tap on the back of Eunuch Liu's knees at the same time, and wrapped it around Ru Feng's hands. His movements were so fast that they seemed as if they were made of lightning or stone.

Eunuch Liu felt that he could not stand steadily, and before he could even react, he fell and rolled on the stairs. Hearing the voice behind him, Yuan Shikai turned around quickly and saw the Eunuch Liu rolling down the stairs. The monk had walked down the stairs and disappeared.

Yuan Shikai thought that the Eunuch Liu had accidentally fell and turned around to look. Eunuch Liu rolled down and stopped. He had already reacted, he did not care about the pain from his fall, and quickly crawled back up: "Not good, the thing was stolen by that monk."

Hearing that, Yuan Shikai was startled, and anxiously shouted out: "Someone come quickly! Monk stole our things! "

Eunuch Liu also covered the wound on his head with his hand, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Someone come! Somebody come quickly! "Catch the monk, the monk stole the thing." The two of them shouted as they ran out the door.

The customers downstairs were still talking non-stop. Hearing the shouts, they all put down their chopsticks and went out to take a look. Yuan Shikai and the Eunuch Liu were panicking and shouting, but no one came to see them snatching things. Someone came forward and asked, "What's your name? Where is the thief? " The Eunuch Liu was flustered and anxious, "He stole the thing and ran out." Everyone looked around to find the intruders.

When Yuan Shikai and the Eunuch Liu saw that the monk that stole the things had ran off without a trace, there were no bodyguards in front of the door. The two of them shouted angrily, "Where is he! Where did everyone die to!? " Those customers didn't know that they had bodyguards outside, so after hearing this, they thought it was a gang of thieves. They all said, "Strange, so many people are fighting over things, why is it that none of them are here?"

Thus, they started to suspect the passersby. Someone pointed at the pedestrians and asked, "Is it them?" The Eunuch Liu said anxiously: "There are no thieves, there's only a monk."

Someone said, "You were talking about a lot of people just now, why is there one? You are mad. There is no sign of the monk. This is strange. " The crowd then looked at the two of them and laughed.

Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu did not have the time to explain in detail to them, they could only rush to find the bodyguards. The two of them looked at the banana stand in the distance and saw a group of people surrounding them. Upon closer inspection, they determined that it was their bodyguard. Seeing that they were all eating bananas there, the two of them felt like they were going crazy. The two of them ignored the shouts and rushed to the back of the bodyguards. Eunuch Liu looked at one of them and fiercely slapped him.

The bodyguard was happily munching on a banana when he suddenly felt pain on his face. He quickly turned around and stared blankly. He covered his face with his hands. Just as he was about to erupt, he didn't dare to speak.

Everyone was startled at the same time, seeing that Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu were gasping for breath and standing behind them with furious eyes, they did not know what had happened. Eunuch Liu was so scared that his face turned pale, and Yuan Shikai was so angry that his face turned green. All the bodyguards were stunned, all of them threw the bananas in their hands, looked at each other, no one dared to ask what had happened.

Yuan Shikai flew into a rage at them, and scolded: "You profligate servants! They were all hiding here to eat, and now they were happy. I'm so pissed off! "See how I'll teach you guys a lesson!" He raised his cane and hit them one by one. The bodyguards were so scared that they stood straight, not daring to dodge at all.

Eunuch Liu tried to persuade him: "Master should calm his anger for now, let them chase after the thieves quickly." He then turned to the bodyguards and said, "Just now in the house, a fat monk stole our bag of stuff. Did you see where he ran off to? Quickly chase after him! "

When the bodyguards heard this, they realized what had happened and panicked, ready to chase in all directions. The old man who sold bananas said, "Just now, a few old men were eating bananas here. I saw a fat monk carrying a bag of stuff hurriedly coming out of the building and running towards that direction." Yuan Shikai quickly replied: Thank you, old sir. It's that monk. " Eunuch Liu hurriedly said to the bodyguards: "What are you waiting for, quickly go chase them!" The bodyguards all rushed in the direction the old man pointed.

Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu stood in front of the banana stand, anxious and angry, like ants in a hot pot circling around. The two of them were still hoping that the bodyguards would catch the monk and take the treasure back.

As for these six bodyguards: they were all from Cangzhou. Their seniors were at the escort office together. Ever since they inherited the parent management escort office, business has been declining. In addition, the six of them squandered so much money that they were no longer able to hold on.

After being recommended by someone, six people were invited by Duan Qirui to send opium from Tianjin to Jinan. At that time, the ground of Shandong area was not peaceful, green forest was everywhere, bandits lurked everywhere. They had escorted Duan Qirui for several times to transport the opium, but none of them had been robbed. Seeing that it was profitable, Duan Qirui left them in the house to listen.

The six of them would take care of the house for the Duan Clan when they had nothing to do, and would busy themselves with some private matters for Duan Qirui when he was out. Opium, arms, and silver dollars, all six of them. The six of them were proud for a moment.

As it should have been their good fortune, soon after, a young miss came to the Duan Clan to live in Shanghai, she was one of Duan Qirui's nephew's daughters. The young lady stayed in Tianjin for a few days, missing her parents, and crying to go home. Duan Qirui could not stay, so he ordered the six of them to escort him back to Shanghai. Passing through the Xuzhou, he was bullied by a group of local thugs. The young lady was taken out of the sedan chair to be flirted with.

The six people were furious and moved forward to argue. Both sides spoke stiffly and started fighting. The six people were beaten to the point where they were bleeding from head to toe and were even dragged into the yamen. Hearing that they were from Duan Qirui's residence, the bailiff hurriedly released them. They had reported to Shanghai and recovered from their injuries for a few days. When they returned back to Tianjin, they did not dare to tell Duan Qirui the truth and only used peaceful words to fool Duan Qirui.

That young lady was originally weak and weak. However, she was also scared and humiliated on the way back, so she was unable to recover from her illness when she reached home. Her father was a knowledgeable old man. When he heard that her daughter had been humiliated, he became extremely angry and specifically came to Tianjin to seek Duan Qirui to interrogate her. Duan Qirui knew the truth and was infuriated. While apologizing to his relatives, he asked the six people what had happened. Under the influence of Nan Gong, Duan Qirui drove the six of them out of the residence. The six of them kneeled on the ground and begged. As they reminisced about the past, Duan Qirui's heart softened. Not long after, Duan Qirui used the method of dispatch to give the six to Yuan Shikai, and found even better masters for the six.

Yuan Shikai came from a martial arts background, he knew all sorts of martial arts, and wholeheartedly set up his own camp to recruit talented people. After examining the six of them one by one and performing martial arts, he discovered that not only were their martial arts skills good, they were also young and orderly. Yuan Shikai happily kept the 6 people by his side to listen. The six of them were brilliant once more. The six of them often helped Yuan Shikai with some private matters, and worked hard. Yuan Shikai was very beneficial to them, and regarded them quite highly.
