Chapter 251 The Powerful Clans of Hanyang
A night of passion, indulging in romance.
Ye Shaohong did not feel tired when he woke up the next morning.
On the contrary, it gives me a feeling of refreshment.
You are still young after all.
After getting dressed, Ye Shaohong came out of the room and went straight to knock on Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan's door.
Another busy day begins.
While it may seem like a hectic and busy schedule, it's mostly about social interactions and obligations.
Under the guise of liaison, they shuttle between various departments, requesting manpower, resources, and money...
This is an old tradition from the Republic of China era.
Ye Shaohong is wealthy, but such an opportunity is rare, and he can't give it up.
If an angel goes on a tour and doesn't make a fortune, people will laugh at them.
Meanwhile, Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan were also secretly gathering information about Guan Yongshan, and surprisingly, they actually found Zhou Haichao's whereabouts.
He is now the deputy head of the Operations Section at Jiangcheng Station.
In terms of level, he is only half a level lower than Ye Shaohong.
Unfortunately, neither of them managed to find out Yu Xiaowan's whereabouts. When they returned to report, Ye Shaohong secretly speculated.
Perhaps Yu Xiaowan hasn't yet formally recognized Guan Yongshan as her godfather.
This result was also within Ye Shaohong's acceptable range.
Then he went to Station Master He's office at Jiangcheng Station and asked Station Master He to transfer Zhou Haichao.
Station Chief He, of course, would not refuse. Two days later, everything was ready, and three military vehicles slowly drove away from the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department.
After traveling at a brisk pace, we finally arrived at the foot of Jiuzhen Mountain in Hanyang County at sunset.
It docked in the town.
Upon arriving here, Ye Shaohong made further arrangements, ordering most of his entourage to remain temporarily stationed in the town.
He then took Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Zhou Haichao in the same car and sped off into the depths of the countryside.
During the journey, Zhou Haichao also told Ye Shaohong about the customs and interesting stories of Jiuzhen Mountain.
Ye Shaohong didn't remember anything else.
The only thing he remembered was that there was a famous historical site within Jiuzhen Mountain.
The place where Bo Ya broke his zither.
That's right, this is the place where the idiom "Bo Ya broke his zither" originated. The story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi has been passed down through the ages. Yu Boya was skilled at playing music, and Zhong Ziqi was skilled at appreciating music. Their partnership is the origin of the term "soulmate."
After Zhong Ziqi died of illness, Yu Boya was extremely saddened, believing that his soulmate was dead and that there would never be anyone in the world like Zhong Ziqi who could understand the artistic conception and emotions in his playing.
Therefore, Yu Boya smashed the guqin "Haozhong" to declare that he would never play the guqin again.
Ye Shaohong had also heard this story.
But he never expected that the place where Boya broke his zither was actually Jiuzhen Mountain in Hanyang County.
Listening to Zhou Haichao's story, Ye Shaohong and his group of four were also deeply moved.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of an extremely luxurious mansion.
"Team Leader Ye, we've arrived."
"This is the ancestral home of Sun Yihui, the commander of the newly formed Ninth Army!"
"It's also the place where he committed suicide."
Although Zhou Haichao did not know why Ye Shaohong was in the hands of so many people at Jiangcheng Station, he specifically asked him to cooperate in the case.
But this person is indeed very intelligent and extremely good at handling interpersonal relationships.
Although their positions were not much different, Zhou Haichao still kept a very low profile in front of Ye Shaohong.
He had a big smile on his face, and his expression was obsequious.
It looks just like the lackeys in TV dramas.
As he was speaking, he even jumped out of the car first and bent down to open the car door for Ye Shaohong.
"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, there's no need to be so polite."
Ye Shaohong had already decided to kill Zhou Haichao, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Instead, he showed a hint of intimacy. This naturally pleased Zhou Haichao. Seeing that Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, and Zhuang Yifan had also come down, Zhou Haichao didn't need Ye Shaohong to give any instructions. He took the initiative to step forward and knock on the door of the Sun family mansion.
After a few muffled thuds, about three or four minutes later, the tightly closed gate of the Sun family mansion finally opened a crack from the inside.
Immediately, an old man dressed in a dark mandarin jacket and wearing a Manchu melon-shaped hat peeked out from the gap.
"Gentlemen, who are you looking for?"
"Are you the steward of the Sun family? Go and announce that a special envoy from the Military Section of the Jinling Special Service Bureau has come to visit."
"Hurry up and get your matriarch to personally lead a group of people out to greet us!"
Ye Shaohong immediately laughed at Zhou Haichao's two-faced behavior.
He really is as fickle as the characters in TV dramas. Ye Shaohong didn't say anything about it.
Standing beside the car, Ye Shaohong was secretly observing and surveying the surrounding terrain. After a moment, he couldn't help but nod.
"The Sun family is very wealthy!"
"Look at this mansion, it's huge and complicated, and its area probably exceeds two acres."
"And these are all the best places around here."
"Backed by green mountains, with a river in front, surrounded by lush trees, they really know how to enjoy life."
As Ye Shaohong was reminiscing, Li Yunlong, who was standing to the side, was also looking around. Occasionally, when his gaze swept over the courtyard and pavilions, he would squint slightly.
"The team leader is right."
"The Sun family can definitely be considered a very wealthy family."
"Look at the layout of the buildings in this mansion. Those are the inner quarters' watchtowers. If I'm not mistaken, they probably keep quite a few gunmen in their house."
"With such an arrangement in the mansion, the Sun family must be a wealthy and powerful family in the surrounding area of dozens of miles."
Li Yunlong came from the Northern School of Swallows, and he was extremely skilled at observing burglaries. Naturally, he also had his own unique perspective on the layout of this mansion.
Listening to his story, Ye Shaohong nodded in agreement.
The group then chatted for a few more minutes.
Just then, the tightly closed gate of the Sun family mansion was pushed open from the inside.
Then a woman in her sixties or seventies, who looked quite energetic, with a full head of white hair and leaning on a dragon-headed cane, came out.
Behind her followed a dozen or so men and women.
Most of them were women. There were eight or nine of them. Although these women were all dressed in mourning clothes and didn't wear much makeup or adornment, they still exuded a certain alluring charm.
Without guessing or thinking, Ye Shaohong could roughly determine their identities.
They must all be the wives and concubines of Sun Yihui, the commander of the newly formed Ninth Army.
He seems to know how to enjoy life.
"Excuse me, which of you is a specialist from the Military Section of the Nanjing Special Service Bureau?"
"I am Shen Peishi, and I am unable to personally come out to greet you. I hope the Commissioner will not be offended!"
As she spoke, the old woman with a full head of white hair, holding a dragon-headed cane, bowed deeply in the direction where Ye Shaohong and the others were.
Her gaze swept past Zhou Haichao and fixed directly on the direction where Ye Shaohong and his group were. Clearly, she was a smart person.
This peculiar tone reveals the traces of her life during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
This immediately made Ye Shaohong raise his eyebrows.
He could no longer stand idly by, so he quickly led Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, and Zhuang Yifan over.
"Madam, this is Ye Shaohong, currently the leader of Group One of the Military Section of the Jinling Special Service Department."
"I came here on orders from my superiors to pay my respects to Commander Sun Yihui!"
