Chapter 249: Prey Seven
Xiaobao returned to the room two hours later. Ulyanova sat motionless on the sofa in the living room.
"What's wrong? Didn't eat? Aren't you going to see some Camellia girl? Why not? Xiaobao asked in a series of questions.
"I don't have any money on me. I brought some Manchukuo banknotes with me. Ulyanova said helplessly.
"Someone as elegant as you actually talks about money? Won't they let a person as elegant as you go in without spending money? Xiaobao said with a smile.
Ulyanova knew that Xiaobao was teasing her, but she was not in the mood to quarrel with Xiaobao now. Like a little girl who has lost her doll, she bows her head in frustration and is silent. That look made people can't help but feel pity.
"Don't think I'm really uneducated. I knew about opera when I was in Harbin. I've heard you Russians sing it. Isn't it just a few yelling donkeys howling there? Today, I'm going to live ten years less, and I'll take you to listen to it once. Xiaobao said very righteously.
"Really?" Ulyanova asked, looking up.
"Really. But I warn you, I don't understand these things in foreign countries. I haven't watched much Chinese drama. I've seen too many of these things, and Miss Qianjin's head is full of thoughts about elopement. Xiaobao said seriously.
"Nonsense!" Ulyanova said. But her face was full of excitement, she jumped up from the sofa and took Xiaobao's arm and prepared to go out to the opera with him.
As soon as Po and Ulyanova walked out of the room, Po saw Nobunaga Matsumoto approaching him.
"You asked me to be a helper when I was on the ground in Shanghai preparing to carry out a mission. Just now I went to find Jin Shoushan Jin Ye of the Green Gang. He's going to see you on the Old Hall Ship right now. Matsumoto Nobunaga said.
"What's going on with the Old Hall Ship?" Xiaobao asked puzzled.
"The old hall boat is the name of the Green Gang in the past. It is the place where they deliberate. It's not really a ship. Matsumoto Nobunaga explained.
"Okay, I'll go now." Xiaobao replied. He turned his head to look at Ulyanova in embarrassment.
Xiaobao beckoned to the red-headed Ah San standing in the corridor to come over.
"This young lady is also a friend of Mr. Sassoon. You send her to the cabaret on the eighth floor to listen to the opera La Traviata, can you do it? Xiaobao asked.
The red-headed Ah San bowed and nodded.
"Listen, in this building Mr. Sassoon is the Emperor." Xiaobao gave Ulyanova a boost of courage.
"Every time, I say that the Lady of the Camellias is the Lady of the Camellias. Uncouth! Ulyanova turned around and followed the red-headed Ah San.
Xiaobao and Matsumoto Nobunaga went downstairs and took a car to meet the golden master of the Green Gang for a while.
"The last time I came to Shanghai, I heard that the Qinggang is not Zhang Xiaolin covering the sky now?" Po sat in the car and asked Nobunaga Matsumoto.
"You don't know yet? Zhang Xiaolin was shot and killed by his men a few days ago. We learned from inside sources that it was actually the people in Chongqing who instructed people behind the scenes. Now there is no leader in the Qing Gang, and Jin Shoushan is a relatively large force. Matsumoto Nobunaga replied.
"Zhang Xiaolin is dead?" Xiaobao said in surprise. The last time I came to Shanghai, for the sake of the Jew Xiaobao, I also made a majestic appearance in front of Zhang Xiaolin's house.
"Now the Green Gang is divided, and each is looking for a backer. Jin Shoushan found us. Matsumoto Nobunaga explained.
The car stopped in front of a shikumen on Nanlishi Road.
Four men in white coats, black bloomers, and wooden sticks standing at the door saw Matsumoto Nobunaga and Koho get out of the car, and one of them hurriedly went in to report.
"I just got out of here, and they still know me." Matsumoto Nobunaga said to Koho.
After a while, the man ran out again and made a gesture to invite in.
Koho and Matsumoto Nobunaga followed the man's back and walked towards the Shikumon.
In the center of the hall sat a tall and thin man in his thirties. On each side there was an old man in his fifties or sixties sitting opposite him.
This is the Jin Shoushan Jin Ye of the 21st generation of the "big" generation of the Green Gang. These two are Liu Ye and Zhao Ye of the 22nd generation of the "Tong" generation of the Green Gang. Matsumoto Nobunaga introduced to Koho.
Xiaobao thought for a while before he realized that the man in his thirties in the middle was actually a generation older than the other two old men in the Green Gang.
"Master Jin, look up for a long time," Xiaobao said with a smile on his fists.
Those who mix in the road must give enough face, so that other things will be easier to do.
With a smile on his face, Jin Shoushan also stood up and clenched his fists, but his eyes looked at Matsumoto Nobunaga.
"This is Qian Xiaobaojun from the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, who just came from Manchuria today." Matsumoto Nobunaga introduced to Kantoyama.
Jin Shoushan didn't expect that a Japanese officer accompanied him was actually a Han Chinese, or an officer from the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, so he took a look at Xiao Baogao.
"Brother Qian, if you have anything to do with your visit this time, as long as I can do it in Jinshoushan, there is no ambiguity!" Jin Shoushan's words are very simple.
"Although I grew up in the Northeast, I also know the names of the three old and the four young. As soon as I arrived in Shanghai today, I could see the twenty-first generation of the Green Gang, Jin Ye, who was too close to the point. Red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots, the three religions were originally one family. Don't hide it from Master Jin, the grandfather of our big cabinet also carried a red gun when he was fighting Yihe Fist before breaking into Kanto. Xiaobao said with a splash of splatter.
"Big cabinet? It turns out that brother, you used to be a hero in the green forest of the Northeast. Jin Shoushan said overjoyed. He was still worried about how to deal with these Japanese who didn't know how to deal with four or six, but he didn't expect that it was actually a Japanese officer who had been a bandit in the Northeast. As soon as his stomach growled, a xiaolongbao fell from the sky. How can you not make him happy.
"Ashamed, ashamed. I was fourteen years old when I became a pillar on the mountain. "Xiaobao's face does not change color.
"Fourteen? Amazing, amazing. Jin Shoushan praised again and again.
Matsumoto Nobunaga, who was sitting on the side, turned out to be unaware of Po-chan's black history. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaobao was a red man in the eyes of Shan Gang Dao Wu and Da Xi Yanyi, he would have jumped up and scolded Ba Ge Yalu now.
"Brother, if you have anything to do in Shanghai this time, just ask. Big brother, I will definitely help with all my might! Jin Shoushan had already said such things just now, but this time there was affection in his words.
"Since you call me brother, then you are my big brother. You must help me with this favor. Xiaobao said solemnly.
"Say, just say!" Jin Shoushan patted the table and said.
"It's a secret. Can it be said here? Xiaobao looked at the two old men on the left and right.
"Brother, if you say a word here, I will invite the baguette given by Lord Qianlong back then to practice the family law of the Qing Gang!" Jin Shoushan said with a cold face. His thumb pointed to a red stick on the wooden shelf of the incense table behind him.
