Li Junhua's words were a bolt from the blue for Han Zhiwei. She had never doubted the identity of her companions in the organization. In fact, Han Zhiwei, whom she was in, had always felt great pride in the organization called Zhongsi Group. The Zhongsi Group was not many, and most of them were teenagers. Even if Zhang Jingwu was in his early twenties, his backbone was all fifteen or sixteen years old, and there were continuous members joining. Everyone studied and grew up together, fought together, or took revenge or eliminated violence and was safe, faced life tenaciously, and treated death calmly.

However, today Li Junhua's words revealed a truth, at least one possibility, and the background of the members of the Zhongsi Group may not be that true.

"No, you did something wrong, right?" Han Zhiwei didn't dare to think deeper and shouted loudly.

Li Junhua shrugged and shook his head slightly: "No, what I'm telling the truth, Zhiwei, you are very smart. Some things, as long as the window paper is broken, you can no longer hide them. Today I just show you a fact and there is no other request. You have time to think and verify. There is also this file. You can take a look at the Zhongsi Group you are in. It's not that simple."

As he said that, a file was left in front of Han Zhiwei. Li Junhua left the place and turned away, but he also left two guards with Han Zhiwei, providing him with some convenience as the Security Bureau.

Han Zhiwei opened the archives and found that it was recorded in detail about Zhang Jingwu's life experience and background, but it was very different from what he heard in the Zhongsi Group. The Zhang Jingwu family was exterminated in a great twists and turns. According to the archives, Zhang Jingwu was a native of Yangzhou. His family was exterminated thirteen years ago, and the implementer was the Security Bureau. This is the same as Han Zhiwei learned from Zhang Jingwu that the number of deaths in time and place can be matched, but the difference is that according to the security bureau's archives, Zhang Jingwu's father and grandfather were not righteous men of the anti-Qing Dynasty at all.

It is essentially a smuggler. He does everything in business, mainly to rush supplies between Jiangnan and Zhoushan Islands, and the cooperation targets are not fixed. There are both the empire of the Shengsi Islands and various forces on the Zhoushan Islands. There are signs of their activities in the era of Lu Jianguo and Zhengfan.

Because Zhang Jingwu's father and grandfather smuggled iron, saltpeter and other military supplies to the anti-Qing forces in the southeast coast, and also provided information about the Qing Dynasty to the anti-Qing forces. Although it was for the purpose of making money, this type of person was also recognized by all parties as the righteous anti-Qing. However, the Zhang family was a double-sided spy and purchased overseas copper, sulfur and even guns for the Qing court. For the empire at that time, this person was nothing. However, the Zhang family accidentally discovered a campaign in Jiangnan by the Security Bureau. In order to seek credit, they reported to the Qing court that the security bureau was betrayed in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. More than 30 people were arrested and killed. Among the local intelligence officials in Zhenjiang, one of the local intelligence officials in Zhenjiang had a background in the empire, which directly led to the bloody revenge of the Security Bureau.

The intelligence department has always retaliated against the thieves who directly caused the damage to the headquarters. According to the rules of the Security Bureau, the thieves would have to pay their lives if they killed a few people. At that time, Zhang Jingwu's family of 18 were wiped out. Only the servants in the family survived because they were not blood relatives. Zhang Jingwu survived after he had already moved to Songjiang. If the Security Bureau knew where his brother and his family were located, it would have to pay their lives.

There is also a list in this file, including information about the servants of the Zhang family who survived revenge, information about merchants who colluded with the Zhang family to smuggle, and even the address of the former Qing officials of the Zhang family. Obviously, these people know the details of Zhang Jingwu's family. Li Junhua put this list in, so he was not afraid that Han Zhiwei would go to inspect and verify it.

Shin Jing.

"Master, the place has arrived." The servant who followed knocked on the car door and said carefully.

Chen Tingshu opened his eyes with his closed eyes. As soon as he left the car door, he saw a five-story building with a new gilt plaque hanging on the lintel. The three words Sihailou were presented on it. The font was very familiar. It was written by the new member of the MP Zhu Yu. He couldn't help but say: "It's like his grandfather. He is willing to make any money. After finally treating a guest, the meat will rot in his own pot. It's really unpromising."

"Master, this restaurant was first opened by Shen Jing. It's a daily profit of gold." The butler said carefully.

"I'm so ugly." Chen Tingshu said with a lip and stepped into the restaurant. When he arrived at the second floor, he saw seven or eight people already greeting the marquis. Zhu Yu, who was in his thirties, stood in front with his fists and bowed and said, "As soon as the uncle arrived, my Sihai Tower will shine brightly."

Chen Tingshu responded, but he was confused in his heart. The two were considered family friends. Zhu Yu's grandfather died in Zhu Dadian in Zhejiang, while Chen Tingshu's brother was Chen Tingyang. In short, Chen Tingshu was the eldest of his generation and had many friendships when he was in Nanyang in his early years. However, due to the old times, Zhu Yu would have been late to participate in the party because of his background to highlight his identity. But now he has been greeted early, which makes him wonder. But when he thinks about the changes in recent years, he understands the tricks.

The Zhu family is now making a fortune in Penang, and Zhu Yu only went to Beijing to serve as a member of parliament at the beginning of this year. That's not all. Now Chen Tingshu's granddaughter has become the Princess of Ying. The Shen family is a genuine royal relative, so others can't help but ignore it.

"My nephew is joking again. I can't afford this old bone. Come on, let's sit down first, have three drinks, and then talk about the serious matters." Chen Tingshu had no airs at all and entered the room with a smile.

As he said, after sitting down, he went to have a drink and sniffed for a while, and Zhu Yu expressed the purpose of today's banquet: "Shi Bo, you should know the news from Yunzhong. So many people were caught, which made people panic. Shi Bode was respectful and had to advance and retreat with us."

Chen Tingshu never expected that Zhu Yu would say it in one sentence, and his face immediately froze. The storm in the Yunzhongqin case had already reached Shen Jing. The prince handled it and captured many white gloves from the big family. Shen Jing was shocked. It was normal for all parties to join forces to deal with it together, but they did not expect that these people actually came up with their own ideas and wanted to hold themselves as their representatives to bargain with the prince.

"Haha, my nephew is joking. My Shen family has a lot of industries in Nanyang and Jiangnan. Although when I started Shangtou in the early years, I also invested in and started businesses, it was just a small fight. I built several farms and villages in the north, which were written in the name of my husband and son, but the account management was directly sent to the Ying Prince's Mansion. Hey, I won't hide it from you. It was my grandfather who made a few pocket money for my granddaughter, and it was countless." Chen Tingshu directly carried his granddaughter Chen Yourong out. Of course, the fact is not as small fight as he said just now. The Shen family also invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and some of them were indeed pocket money for Princess Ying.

As Chen Tingshu said this, it would be difficult for everyone to speak again. Chen Tingshu pushed his own Shangtun to the Ying Prince's Mansion. If he raised his arms and called for everyone to plan for everyone, wouldn't he mean to instigate the prince to fight? Although the prince and the Ying Prince have been fighting openly and secretly in the past two years, there are no news in the capital and some people in the capital have chosen to take sides, but before the momentum is in the water and fire, who dares to do such a thing?

"So I'm not going to say justice?" Zhu Yu asked with a cold face.

"I want me to speak fairly, the fact that the prince is doing it in Yunzhong is a bit unreasonable." Chen Tingshu drank a glass alone and said lightly.

As soon as these words were said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least Chen Tingshu was also dissatisfied. With him there, he was still browsing. Zhu Yu also asked while the iron was hot: "That is the uncle who dares to say this... Haha, uncle and we are both the same, and my nephew also asked for a charter from uncle. How should we deal with this matter? We can't throw away the money just by saying a word from the prince."

"Yes, yes, my family invested more than one million in Shangtun, and half of the Guangyun accounted for. What do you say can't be wasted!"

"Brother Wu is still good. After all, you have entered the market early. You have already returned to the capital in four or five years. My family invested in the past year. Are you still owing a lot of debts for this?"

"This is not a matter of time. It's because we signed a contract with Lifanyuan. Oh, the court can breach the contract and not talk about the law?"

Zhu Yu started a conversation and caused a stir. Everyone started to pour bitterness, while Chen Tingshu poured himself and drank himself, listening with a smile. Everyone made a fuss for a while and found that the main master stopped talking, so they calmed down.

"I don't understand. Who said that the money of money will be wasted? Who said that the court would breach the contract?" Chen Tingshu put down his wine glass and asked back.

Zhu Yu said: "Is this still something else to say? The emperor had decided to clean up Shangtun before the New Year, and the prince took his order. He did not summon each family to discuss, nor did he make a compensation charter. He rushed to the clouds and started to catch people. He was not just killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, but almost arrested everyone from each family. What are you doing? Do you force us to give up Shangtun by yourself, otherwise you would take the opportunity to ask for a crime?"

"If this is the case, if we do not only catch people in the clouds, we should also carry out the other appeasement zones at the same time?" Chen Tingshu said with a smile, and then persuaded: "There are so many people in the clouds, and they will not be questioned after being arrested, and they will just stretch them out. What is the reason? Is this the prince comparing patience with everyone?"

"Compare patience? What if you compare, what if you can't compare?" someone asked immediately.

"Haha, I am not a subordinate of the prince, how do you know what the prince will do?" Chen Tingshu smiled and continued: "I only know one thing. Since ancient times, I have been shooting the first bird with a gun. Whoever can't keep calm will be the first bird."

Zhu Yu asked tentatively: "What if everyone can't hold back and all of them are the best?"

"This is not easy, so just use a cannon to hit you." Chen Tingshu responded casually.

Everyone was in an uproar. If you want to say this, it would be a good result for each family to gather together to make a fuss. Zhu Yu smiled and brought everyone to toast Chen Tingshu before asking: "Uncle Shi, there are no outsiders here. My nephew wants to ask if there is any news from the princess?"

Chen Tingshu shook his head and said no, and said in reverse: "Oh, the water splashed by the married daughter is not even thinking about her family."

Seeing that the people sitting around were looking at him with a look of unsuccessful resignation, Chen Tingshu said again: "Don't look like this, I'm just relying on my seniority and saying some cheap words. Whether it's cleaning up Shangtun or disarmament, it's said that the two princes arrested the general, but after all, the emperor has the support for this matter. If the prince bombards us with gunfire, the emperor will not rely on it..."

Speaking of this, everyone nodded and felt hope again. Chen Tingshu's words made everyone feel cold: "But if it's a big fuss, maybe the emperor will be the one who can shoot me. The emperor will blow it, who will take care of it?"

"So, according to what you said, let's wait?"

Chen Tingshu smiled: "There are so many Shangtou, and it can't be solved without 30 million. But if you move, you will have thousands of heads rolling on the ground. All of them are unacceptable to the prince. Therefore, our prince must think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds."

"Yes, yes, what you said is reasonable, but the question is, what should we do?" Zhu Yu asked.

Chen Tingshu said: "What should I do if there is no us? What should I do if I am the only one? What should you do? I ask you, what would happen if the people participating in Shangtun refuse to give in?"

"The court has to throw tens of millions in." Zhu Yu said honestly.

"By the way, do you think the two houses of Congress can agree?" Chen Tingshu asked.

Zhu Yu smacked his lips and said, "There is no problem here on the House of Commons, everyone is involved, and the Senate..."

"You are wrong! The House of Parliament is the problem, and the Senate is not the problem." Chen Tingshu said directly, and then explained: "The finances are only so much money, and both Shangtun and disarmament require money. The veterans do not want to disarmament, and the members do not want to clean up Shangtun, but they cannot do nothing. In order not to move themselves, they can only touch others!"

Everyone immediately understood that in the parliament, the Senate and the House of Assembly have also been competing for the right to speak over the years. For those merchants who are not nobles, the best way to suppress nobles and elders is to disarmament, but if the money is invested in the Shangtou, they cannot suppress their opponents.

On one hand, there is power and wealth, and Congress will definitely make a big fuss. Because of this, it is impossible for the families participating in Shangtun to truly unite. This is what Chen Tingshu said, and what we do without us.

Zhu Yu smiled and asked: "Uncle Shi, what would you do if it were you?"

Chen Tingshu picked up the wine glass: "Drink and eat, do nothing!"

"Do nothing?"

Chen Tingshu said: "It's not that you're going to do nothing. When the prince handed over the ladder, you should just go down the donkey."

"But... but we can't be slaughtered." Someone was dissatisfied.

"So pray that the prince can come up with a good way, or you can think about it and come up with a way to hand it over." After Chen Tingshu said this, he focused on eating and drinking, and no longer discussed this matter.

In the afternoon, Chen Tingshu came out of Sihai Tower, got on the carriage, and walked away. The housekeeper asked, "Master, why are you very happy, but they are depressed?"
