Chapter 68: The Pious "Father and Son"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Four consecutive gunshots were heard, followed by three screams.
The three Japanese agents who rushed into the Ning family compound were killed as quickly as possible.
Two of them died on the spot, and one was shot in the hand and thigh holding the gun, and cried in pain.
Xiang Chu deliberately left a person alive, wanting to give a big gift to the Hangzhou Intelligence Station.
He rushed forward quickly, knocked the man unconscious with one punch, checked his collar and teeth, and found no potassium cyanide. Then he picked up three Nambu-style pistols on the ground.
"Brother Chu! Are you okay?"
Ning Caiwei ran out with a gun in hand.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "It's okay! It's all solved. Give the Hangzhou Intelligence Station a call. I left them a live person."
"it is good!"
Ning Caiwei turned around and ran back to the living room.
Ning's father and mother also walked out of the living room trembling with fear, just in time to see Xiang Chu "whoosh" rushing onto the roof, and could not help but be stunned.
Xiang Chu looked around on the roof to make sure there were no Japanese agents, then landed in the yard with a "whoosh".
Father Ning remained silent, and Mother Ning could not help but ask, "Xiao Xiang! Are you the disciple of Yan Zi Li San?"
"Oh! I once sparred with him in Tianjin. I can catch up with him."
Xiang Chu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, picked up the two dead Japanese agents and threw them out the door.
To the old couple it felt like he had thrown two big carrots.
At this time, the housekeeper Zhang Bo came over, his legs still shaking.
If it weren't for Xiang Chu today, everyone in this yard would have been finished.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang! Could you please find a rope?"
Father Ning pointed at the clothesline and said, "Boy! Use this, it's sturdy."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu pulled out the gleaming dagger and cut off a piece of extra clothesline.
He tied up the unconscious Japanese agent tightly with a clothesline.
Ning Caiwei ran out of the living room and shouted:
"Xiang Chu! The people from Hangzhou Station are setting up defenses nearby and will be here soon."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded.
Father Ning said angrily: "Since they were deployed nearby, why didn't they prevent it? I don't know what they are doing!"
No one answered his question.
Soon, a truck stopped outside the gate.
Immediately, a captain rushed in with a dozen action team members.
The captain saluted Ning Xiaoquan first, then turned to Xiang Chu and saluted, saying loudly:
"Captain Xiang! Ye Hongguang, the operations leader of the Hangzhou Intelligence Station, salutes you."
Xiang Chu handed him the three captured Nambu-style pistols and nodded, saying, "Captain Ye! Three Japanese agents came to assassinate Mr. Ning. I killed two of them on the spot and left one alive as a gift to your Hangzhou Station. Also, I didn't search the three Japanese agents."
To say this is equivalent to leaving the money to them.
"Thank you! Thank you Captain Xiang!"
Ye Hongguang said excitedly, paused, and shouted to the action team members,
"Brothers! Captain Xiang is the ace agent of our military intelligence headquarters. He single-handedly wiped out the 'Evil Wolf' group lurking in Nanjing. He is also from Fenghua Xikou!"
"Captain Xiang! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"
The members of the action team came forward and greeted Xiang Chu one by one, and the scene was very lively.
When Ning Xiaoquan saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Chu with admiration.
Soon, Ye Hongguang and others left with three Japanese agents.
Ning Xiaoquan said, "Xiao Xiang! I still want to thank you for tonight."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Uncle, you are too kind. This is what I should do."
"You will go to Xikou with us tomorrow morning, and then we can come back to celebrate the festival and enjoy the moon. Jiang Mei! Please tidy up the guest room and let Xiao Xiang rest early!"
After Ning Xiaoquan finished speaking, he turned and walked into the living room without listening to Xiang Chu's agreement.
"Everything is at your command."
Xiang Chu responded loudly.
It turns out that Ning Caiwei's mother's name is Jiang Mei. Ning Xiaoquan probably only calls her that when he is dealing with serious matters.
Jiang Mei couldn't help wondering, "Strange! The old man hasn't been back to Xikou for many years, why does Xiao Xiang want to go back as soon as he comes?"
"Mom! Xiang Chu and I are taking a walk outside the yard."
Ning Caiwei said softly, took Xiang Chu's hand and ran out of the courtyard.
"Don't go too far, kids."
Jiang Mei smiled happily and walked into the living room.
She reached out to pick up the box Xiang Chu had given her on the coffee table, but she couldn't move it.
"What's so heavy?"
Jiang Mei muttered, and when she opened it, she was stunned.
There were actually ten large gold bars and twenty small gold bars inside.
He exclaimed: "Oh my God! This, this is too expensive!"
Ning Xiaoquan walked out of the study room upon hearing the voice and asked in confusion:
"Is a captain of the Military Intelligence Department so rich? Isn't Changde so rich?"
He didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, brothers should settle accounts clearly and it was not good to ask too much.
Jiang Mei picked up a golden bar and couldn't help laughing: "I think Xiao Xiang is good. He looks good and has a good temper. The most important thing is that he is good to us Caiwei."
Ning Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "But the Military Intelligence Department deals with enemy agents every day. It's too dangerous."
Jiang Mei smiled and said, "Changde and Caiwei are also here. They are in Nanjing every day and don't go to the war."
This sentence of hers left Ning Xiao speechless, and he said angrily:
"Hurry up and call your precious daughter back to rest early. What are you doing hanging around outside? Go back to Xikou at dawn tomorrow."
"Oh right! I should go clean up the rooms for Xiao Xiang and Cai Wei."
Jiang Mei pretended not to hear, picked up the box, and went up the stairs by herself.
The next day, at dawn.
Xiang Chu was awakened by Ning Xiaoquan, and he took Ning Caiwei and her parents straight to Fenghua Xikou.
After running for more than 2 hours, we finally arrived at Ningjia Village in Xikou and stopped in front of the Ning’s Ancestral Hall.
Ning Xiaoquan ordered: "Xiao Xiang! Play the role of unyielding again today."
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car, leaning on his walking stick, and walked towards a group of white-haired and white-bearded old men in long gowns and jackets.
"What's happening here?"
Xiang Chu looked confused.
Ning Caiwei reacted quickly, patted Xiang Chu's face and said, "Play your part well! If the tribe members find out, I'll show you how Daddy will deal with you."
"I understand too!"
Jiang Mei suddenly realized and whispered,
"Xiao Xiang! The clan leader sent a letter to Caiwei's father a few days ago, reprimanding him, saying that as a legitimate son, he had not brought his offspring to the clan temple to worship and kowtow at the ancestral tomb for several years. If he does not come again, he will be removed from the clan tree!"
"Ah?! Then get out of the car."
Xiang Chu said hurriedly, got out of the car quickly, opened the trunk, and walked to Ning Xiaoquan with both hands full of gifts.
Ning Xiaoquan introduced him, "Buyi! This is the clan leader, Third Uncle."
"Hello, Third Uncle! Please accept it."
Xiang Chu nodded and bowed, presenting the gift.
The third uncle took the gift and said happily:
"Good! Good! Qu'er has grown into a young man."
The gifts were quickly distributed, and the elders of all tribes received one, and everyone was very happy.
Under the attention of the clan members, Xiang Chu followed Ning Xiaoquan into the ancestral hall and burned incense to worship.
After the greeting, Ning Xiaoquan took out a large gold bar and two small gold bars and handed them to the clan leader, saying with a smile:
"Clan leader! This is Qu'er's donation for the repair of the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb."
"Oh! So much? That's more than 10,000 silver dollars."
The patriarch took the gold bar and his hands were shaking with excitement.
All the elders praised him in unison, and Ning Xiaoquan couldn't stop smiling.
After visiting the ancestral temple and making donations, it is natural to kowtow at the ancestral grave.
At this time, Ning Xiaoquan did not despise Xiang Chu at all for being just a prospective son-in-law. He took him to the ancestral tomb to pay homage, which moved a group of clan elders so much that they came forward and pulled up the pious "father and son".
