The carriage drove some more distance, and the road became more open on both sides, and there were even a few narrow vegetable rows along the side of the riverbank. After passing the remnants of a lookout or fort more than one person high, several more figures appeared on the side of the road. The carriage stopped again.

"The front is the Huang family's house." Shopkeeper Jia leaned over to the car window and said.

"Get out of the car and take a look." Gao Yi nodded.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Jia hurriedly jumped down from the front seat and opened the car door, Gao Yi motioned for McPherson to get out of the car together, and the three of them walked around the carriage and walked forward.

One of the figures on the side of the road greeted him, "The big shopkeeper? The other party whispered a greeting. Shopkeeper Jia made a silent gesture and asked him to follow him.

Gao Yi took the lead in the front, and the dirt road under his feet turned into a stone road after a few steps. This stone road is about 100 steps long, with a gentle slope gradually ascending, and at the end of the road you can vaguely see a bridge, presumably the Lujia Stone Bridge.

On the right side of the stone road are five or six mansions with high walls.

"Which courtyard is the Huang family?"

"The second one here is the one with two red lanterns hanging at the door."

These courtyards are built under the bridge, and there is a wide side road in front of the door that is also paved with bluestone and connected to the stone road of the Lujia Stone Bridge, and the entrance of this side road is in front of the door of the second mansion, so compared with the other houses, the front of the Huang family is more open, like a small square.

It's just that now this little square is empty, and there is not even a single car. The people who came to Huangfu this time are all middle and lower-class leaders, most of these people are three-light molds that eat up, use light, and white light, even if they have money, it is impossible to charter rickshaws, but it is in line with Gao Yi's expectations, otherwise if there are a few cars waiting at the door of Huang's house, Ah Qi and they will not act so unscrupulously.

Gao Yi observed for a while, then returned to the carriage and let the carriage move on. The wheels pressed on the stone road and drove onto the Lujia Stone Bridge.

The Lujia Stone Bridge spans a river that communicates the moat and the Huangpu River, this river and the moat cross to form a relatively open river surface, the river extends through the moat and passes through the water gate next to the small east gate, straight into the county seat of Shanghai, and traverses the entire city. Like this, there are three rivers that cross the county from east to west, there are three in Shanghai County, from north to south, there is the Lujia Stone Bridge of the Xiaodongmen, the Chaozong Gate is the Dadongmen Jiji Bridge, and there is also a Caocang Shuiguan in the southernmost part. Among them, only the big east gate is through the city, from the Yifeng gate, that is, the west gate out of the city, after the river was filled in to build the road, it is the later Fuxing East Road.

When he reached the bridge, Gao Yi stopped the carriage, and from here he could see that there was an alley under the bridge. This is a rather narrow alley, at most a wheelbarrow can walk, connected to the bridge base with more than a dozen steps, but it is on the same level as the bluestone sidewalk under the bridge. Due to the obscuration of the building, the path was completely invisible from the vantage point.

"Is this the East Catchment Street?"

The alley was quiet, and it was completely impossible to see that there were thirty or forty people in ambush inside.

"Yes, it's Dongjishui Street."

On paper, it seems to be shallow, and a street on the map that looks quite large, but I didn't expect it to be such a simple alley in front of me. Gao Yi arranged all the bags on this small street, which can be said to be a complete waste of resources, unless it is to take a shortcut to Nanshi Wharf, no one will leave the wide stone road and not walk, and must take this alley.

It seems that it is enough to arrange a maximum of fifteen or sixteen people here, and it must be deployed in echelons, and it is necessary to prevent people from jumping into the river and escaping. After all, the river next to the alley communicates the moat and the Huangpu River, and can also directly enter the county seat of Shanghai, which can be said to extend in all directions.

"Let's go!"

The carriage started to move again, and after crossing the Lujia Stone Bridge, he saw the barricades set up by the French army, which not only blocked the road leading to the stone bridge, but also set up a card in front of the suspension bridge outside the Xiaodong Gate, completely blocking the travel passage of Shanghai County. In the distance, you can see a group of people gathered at the head of the suspension bridge and are making loud noises, and if you go down, there will be a group incident.

"Go back to the old fishing house." Gao Yi commanded after passing the French Luka.

A distance of one hundred and fifty meters, it was there in an instant. After returning to the fishing house, Gao Yi's first order was to ask the French army to move the barricade in front of the drawbridge to Liyanghang Street, so as to expose a passage that could go north, so that the crowd could detour. However, the triangle at the northern end of Qing'an Street, Dasheng Street, and Liyanghang Street will be closed, so that the crowd will have to walk north to Ningbo Wharf Street before it can move westward. At the same time, the northern end of Waiyanghang Street, as well as the easternmost intersection of Huiguan Street, Fujing Road, Nanxiang Road, Dasheng Street, Lebi Street, and Qipan Street and Waima Road are also closed.

After these arrangements are completed, the French outpost at Lujia Stone Bridge will be removed. In this way, a pocket-shaped capture area with a depth of about half a mile and a width of 150 meters can be ensured, so as to prevent the other party from escaping by taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd, or even resisting in a group and making a big disturbance.

Next, Gao Yi adjusted the distribution of personnel, and only fifteen people were left on Dongjishui Street to inquire, and all the personnel who came from the direction of Huangzhai would be arrested. Reinforcements were arranged in echelons on the section of Guild Hall Street from Sanguantang Street to Tie Anchor Street, with a total of 10 carriages equipped with 30 arresting team members, and two prisoners in one car. Sanguantang Street and Tie Anchor Street in the east-west direction are streets where two carriages can walk side by side, and it is easy to retreat to the outer road. The north-south Huiguanchang Avenue is also relatively wide, which will not affect the U-turn of vehicles. The intersection on the west side of Dongjishui Street, where the Huang Mansion is located, is only 60 or 70 meters away from Huiguanchang Street, which means that after the Bao inquirers arrest people, they can put people in the carriage as long as they walk about 50 meters. In this way, if the number of people walking the East Catchment Street exceeds the expected, enough force can be formed in this direction.

The twenty bags adjusted from Dongjishui Street will be reconfigured to be ambushed on Salted Melon Street. The reason why they were transferred in this direction was because they had a certain amount of training, and they were more suitable for ambushing than Guangrong Lin's minions. They will use the remnants of the fort to lay in ambush at the junction of the dirt road and the stone road, which can not only observe the movement of the Yellow Mansion door, but also suitable for concealment. If someone walks in the direction of Salted Melon Street, they will not arrest them immediately, but will follow behind them and be responsible for closing the mouth. The arrest site in the direction of Salloua Street was set up at the intersection of Taiping Street, where Gao Yi also deployed ten horse-drawn carriages.

The other 50 capture teams will travel in horse-drawn carriages and be distributed in a pocket-shaped area north of the Lujia Stone Bridge. As for how to catch it, it depends on it, if the party in the yellow house is dispersed soon, then it is inevitable that it will be caught like a sheep, and whether there will be fish that slip through the net can only depend on luck. However, if he could be given some time, he actually had a plan in mind.

He walked to the telephone, picked up the receiver and said, "I'm Gao Yi, pick up Guangronglin for me." ”
