There are still three days left before Prince Renzheng comes to Shanghai. Hideko Kawashima works overtime every day, and Liu Dada can't figure out what she's doing.

After clearing Wang Xin, Liu Dacheng was finally able to sleep peacefully. And the task assigned by Wu Wenkang made him feel that it was difficult to climb to the sky.

Wang Xin's betrayal exposed the plan to steal Prince Renzheng's road map. Masao Yoshida certainly won't be that stupid, maybe he's somehow waiting for himself to take the bait.

Li Shiqun found Cao Dali, hoping to find Wu Wenkang's whereabouts from him. Cao Dali's face was embarrassed, and he told the truth that nine times out of ten, Wu Wenkang was no longer in the French Concession, and it was very likely that he would hide in the British Concession or the Public Concession. These places are not their sphere of influence.

Li Shiqun asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

Cao vigorously took a puff of opium, closing his eyes and enjoying the feeling of being immortal. Li Shiqun couldn't help frowning. If his own men dared to be so presumptuous, he wouldn't mind killing him with his own hands. Cao Dali is the leader of the Green Gang and an important force that can be used. So, he chose to endure.

After a long time, Cao Dali said leisurely: "I can't say that there is no way." Cao Kun, the leader of the Youth Gang in the Public Concession, is my cousin. However, this man has hard bones and is not easy to deal with. Li He, who is on the other side of the British Concession, is my senior brother. This person is two-faced and smiling, and he doesn't work just for money. ”

Li Shiqun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. What Cao Dali said was the truth. This was the case in the concession, and the power of the Japanese was not yet reached. The Chinese patrolling the house also regarded themselves as human beings and did not buy the account of No. 76 at all.

"Brother Cao, can't you tell your cousin?"

Li Shiqun is unwilling! In this big Shanghai, power is not omnipotent. All kinds of forces are intricate, and no one can cover the sky with one hand.

"Director Li, let me try. I understand Cao Kun's character. He was stubborn and hated the Japanese. I don't think he'll do anything for the Japanese. ”

"Thank you, Brother Strong."

After Li Shiqun left, Zhang Xin walked in. As Cao Dali's intimate apprentice, he stood outside the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Shiqun and Cao Dali.

Zhang Xin asked, "Master, are you really going to help Li Shiqun?" ”

Cao Dali said in a disciplined tone, "Zhang Xin, you are still young and have seen too little. This world has changed since the late Qing Dynasty, and it has changed to what it is now, how many kings have it experienced? What are we as ordinary people? Human life is as cheap as grass! I've seen it through, and I'll mess with whoever gets in power. What justice, truth, it's all! Now Shanghai is the world of the Japanese, we don't follow behind the Japanese buttocks, can we have food? You people eat and drink spicy food all day long, and it is not Li Shiqun who takes care of our business and lets us open tobacco houses, casinos, and brothels to make a little money. If he were to deal with us, he wouldn't have to use a knife or a gun, but only a high tax on our estate, and he would have bankrupted us in a short period of time. ”

"What Master educates. The apprentice has a message, I wonder if it's useful? ”

Zhang Xin took half a step forward and whispered.

"Say."

"A few days ago, Cao Kun and Lou Tianren of Fengmao Car Dealership got up. There were casualties on both sides. I heard that Lou Tianren pried Cao Kun's corner and destroyed one of Cao Kun's outer rooms. Cao Kun led people to find Lou Tianren to do it, and Lou Tianren suffered a big loss. ”

"Is this news useful to Director Li?"

Zhang Xin smiled slightly, and said calmly, "The news itself is useless to Li Shiqun. It's all gangster fights. But as far as I know, the people who helped Cao Kun make a move are very powerful, and they are all professionally trained killers. Lou Tianren's more than 20 bodyguards, in less than five minutes, all let Cao Kun's people kill. If he hadn't slipped away quickly, it is estimated that Lou Tianren's life would have been gone. ”

"Do you suspect that the person who helped Cao Kun make a move was an agent of the military commander?"

Zhang Xin nodded, "The master of the rivers and lakes, at least he is not so well-trained." I guess Cao Kun may have been hooked up with the military commander. Maybe the military commander used his home as a stronghold. Therefore, Li Shiqun asked you to find Cao Kun, I guess it's no fun. ”

Cao Dali slammed the cigarette stick on the table and said angrily, "Cao Kun is really an idiot!" Can the Japanese be provoked by people like us? The army of millions of people in the national army was defeated and retreated one after another, and even the country was about to be lost. With him as a Cao Kun, can he still turn the sky upside down? Prepare the car, I'm going to meet this straw bale! ”

Cao Dali's men prepared four cars and took more than 20 bodyguards out of the house. The group came to the pear garden of the public rental garden. They were stopped at the door by Cao Kun's bodyguards.

Cao Dali didn't fight anywhere, and shouted, "I'm Cao Dali, you let Cao Kun come out to see me." ”

The bodyguard Zhao Changcheng not only knew Cao Dali, but also knew him very well.

"Gang Master Cao, I know that you and our master are brothers, but the rules are still needed, and it is necessary for us to report them."

"Okay. You go and report it. This guy has stiff wings, and he doesn't even recognize his brother. ”

Cao Kun was playing Go with Heping Wusheng, and when he received a report from his subordinates, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. This brother's strength is many times stronger than his own, and it is not easy to invite him in normal times. If you come to the door by yourself today, there must be something.

"Mr. Ping, you should avoid it for a while. I'll go meet my brother for a while. He's a Japanese lackey. ”

According to the preparatory plan, Ping Wusheng and Huang Guizhi all withdrew to Cao Kun's house and became Cao Kun's distant relatives. They didn't know that Cao Kun had such a brother.

Cao Kun came to the gate to greet Cao Dali.

Cao Dali brought so many bodyguards, obviously to show off. Rich people, if they go out without bodyguards and no servants, they will feel faceless.

"Dali, why are you here?"

"Brother, I rarely come to you. I didn't expect to almost eat the closed door. ”

Cao Kun glanced at Zhao Changcheng and knew that Cao Dali was pointing, so he smiled and said, "Your subordinates have offended you, please don't be surprised." ”

"I can't write two Cao characters in one stroke. And how much more do we have the same grandfather? ”

"That's, that's, come in."

Cao Dali is rich and powerful, and he is ten years younger than Cao Kun. The momentum he put on is not a little brother, but an uncle. Cao Kun still endured it, not wanting to meet him in general.

Cao Dali saw Go in the courtyard and knew that Cao Kun's family had a guest. This guest must also enjoy playing Go.

"Brother, why do you have this Yaxing, and you actually play Go? Coming to the guests? ”

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Cao Kun actually forgot this detail! Cao Dali can make his career bigger, of course, he is not comparable to ordinary people, and at a glance, he knows that Cao Kun and outsiders are playing a game of chess just now. What's more, there are also two teacups on the coffee table.

"I've been bored alone for the past two days, and I've been playing Go with the housekeeper just now."

Uncle Quan, the housekeeper, was in his early sixties, wore a melon skin hat, and was a private school gentleman when he was young. Cao Dali didn't quite believe that he understood Go. He glanced at Uncle Quan with some suspicion and said, "Uncle Quan, you guys stay away." Our brothers have something to say. ”
