Chapter 25: The Night of the Long Knife (7)

(The title of the previous chapter has been changed, but the content has not changed)

"There's one more thing you need to do. Did you hear the call I had with your boss just now? ”

"Yes, I heard some." Ah Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

"In another half an hour or so, there will be about fifty Oriental cars coming over, all of which are from your Guangrong Lin car dealership. If someone from the Huang family had already come out at that time, you wouldn't have to worry about these Oriental cars, just do what you took care of just now. But if no one has come out yet, then the cars are in your command. ”

Gao Yi paused when he said this, glanced at Ah Qi, and saw that he showed a contemplative expression.

"Your goal is to get everyone who comes out of the Huang family in a Toyo car. If there is someone who refuses to get in the car, you also have to tell the drivers that whether it is a bargain or any other excuse, you must make sure that everyone has a car with them. Each Toyo car is given two white towels or white cloths, and you have the drivers put one piece around their head and neck and the other tied to the bar, so that at night, these Toyo cars will become a sign of arrest. ”

"Come and have a look." As he spoke, Gao Yi walked to the map hanging on a wall, and Ah Qi quickly got up and followed.

"That's the pocket array we've set up." Gao Yi's finger traced the zigzag curve outlined with a red pen on the map, "By the way, are you literate?" ”

"Although the little one is illiterate, he is quite familiar with the streets and alleys here, and he can guess eight or nine points by looking at the picture." While saying that, Ah Qi pointed to the map and said: "This is the Lujia Stone Bridge, this is Qing'an Street, this is the Foreign Street, and this is the old fishing house we are staying in now......

"Very good, since you can understand the picture, then let's move on." Gao Yi interrupted.

"Our plan is to get these people in this pocket. It's just that when arresting, it is inevitable to divide the order, this pocket is still too shallow and short, but the situation of half a mile is clear at a glance, the front is caught, and the back must be prepared, or escape, or hidden, it is very easy for someone to slip through the net. However, with the Toyo car marking, it was completely different. Originally, I didn't dare to tie my pockets too big, because I was afraid that people would be separated and it would be difficult to track them in the dark. Now that there are conspicuous markings, not only can the pocket array be expanded, but the target can be easily identified even if it is mixed in the crowd. That way we don't even have to tighten our pockets completely, and it doesn't matter if we let the target go into a crowded street. ”

"What's more, as long as the target is on our Toyo car, then we will be able to grasp his route. For example, if the goal is to go to Baxian Bridge, then we can take care of the driver in advance that he can only take Waiyanghang Street, Jinyuanli Street, Liyanghang Street, and then Xinkaihe Bridge, but is not allowed to take Waiyanghang Street, Ningbo Wharf Street, Liyanghang Street, and Xinkaihe Bridge. In this way, our men and horses only need to stay on Jinyuanli Street and wait for the target to come to the door, without having to control them everywhere. ”

"Also, we can even disperse the targets that have gathered together, for example, if the target is to go to the 16th shop, we can divide the coachmen into several groups, the first group will let them go to Huiguan Street, the second group will let them go to Fujing Road, and the third group will go to Nanxiang Road, and our arresters will ambush these side streets to carry out arrests."

Gao Yi pointed to the map and explained to Ah Qiyiyi, and then he moved his fingertips to the area around Qing'an Street, where several horizontal alleys and a vertical street were sandwiched between the inner and outer foreign streets to form a "use" shape.

"If it were me, I would ambush the Toyo convoy in this area and send them out in batches so that they would not arouse suspicion. I will also take care of the first batch of past coachmen, and bring the news to the other party, that is, the French soldiers have closed the road for some reason, and now whether they want to go to the 16th shop or the Baxian Bridge, they can only detour by taking the outer foreign street. In fact, after the other party arrived at the north of the stone bridge, he should be able to see the checkpoint set up by the French army, and he may be in a state of uncertainty at this moment, and the news brought by the coachman can reassure their hearts and gain their trust, so that they can attract business in the future. ”

"Of course, it's up to you how you do it. As the commander of the field, how to assign the driver, teach the driver what to say, what route to take, and how to cooperate with the arrest team, these are all up to you, I just give advice, there is no need to listen to everything. Do you understand? ”

"The little one understands, and the little one will definitely live up to Mr. Gao's expectations and handle this matter properly."

"Well, it's good that you understand. Now I'm going to repeat what I've told you, and let me see if there's anything wrong with your understanding! ”

"This ...... Retell? ”

"Oh, just let you tell me what I just told you again, so that I can know if you really understand."

"Uh...... There are two situations for small ones, one is that they have a Toyo car, and the other is that they don't have a Toyo car...... This, if there is no Oriental car, the villain has to do two things, one is to seal the north wall of the stone bridge, so that he can close the door and beat the dog. Another thing, if someone breaks into the Huang family to report the news, the little one should immediately take his subordinates ............"

Ah Qi stuttered a little at first, but the more he talked about it, the clearer his thinking became, and in the end he made a suggestion:

"Mr. Gao, if you can know how many of these people are from the Eight Immortals Bridge, how many are from Nanshi, and which path they took when they came, then it would be much more convenient to dispatch the Oriental coachman and the arrest team."

"It's rare for you to think of this, these materials have been prepared for a long time. See, the bespectacled guy sitting under that telephone? Gao Yi pointed to a thin man sitting next to the telephone and wearing glasses and said, "That person's surname is Hou, he is a translator, everything you want is in his hands, and you will find him to go later." ”

"Okay!"

"Also, do you know how to use the phone?"

"Yes, the small phone often calls the big boss and the second boss, just pick up the receiver and say a number to the operator."

"Well, you don't need to say the number this time, just say 'waiting for translation'." Seeing that Ah Qi was a little unclear, Gao Yi added: "You arrived at the north of Lujia Shiqiao, where there is a store of Jiahong Xingxing, well, if you don't recognize the signboard, find a literate subordinate and let him help you find ......."

"Hongxingxing, I know which one it is."

"That's good, there is a telephone in Hongxingxing, if you have anything, want to know something, or where do you want to arrange for the arrest team to go, just tell the interpreter on the phone. Hongxingxing is your headquarters, you are there to command, don't leave easily. Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"In addition, this phone can only find two people, the translator and me, all your general matters can be solved by the translator, and you can only contact me directly if you encounter important and life-threatening matters."

"The little one understands, and the little one tries not to disturb Mr. Gao."

"Well, then you can go over, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask the translator directly, and after saying goodbye, go to Shiqiao Beiyan as soon as possible to arrange!"

"Yes, Mr. Gao, the little one is over."

Ah Qifu ran to the translator surnamed Hou and started talking, and picked up an ink pen to write and draw on his arm, probably writing a mark that only he could understand.

Gao Yi turned to Wilson and McPherson, his conversation with Ah Qi just now was in official language, and Wilson and McPherson didn't know his complete plan yet. It took a lot of effort for Gao Yi to tell them the overall plan, Wilson was ready to take over his command at any time, and McPherson was in charge of dispatching the capture team.

Twenty wagons had been sent to stand by near the Foreign Medicine Donation Bureau on Wai Yang Xing Street, where there was a telephone, while another team of fifteen carriages had gone to the Kim Fang Toyo Company on Hui Guan Street, where there was also a telephone.

When the fifteen carriages that sent the French patrolmen to the old gate came back, they would be directly arranged at Jinliyuan Street, the second street to the north of the sixteenth shop. On Jinliyuan Street, there is a Jinliyuan foreign company that can meet the needs of communication. In this way, with just one phone call, within two minutes, these fifty carriages could cover all the corners of the entire Sixteen Pu area.

Before he left, a series of orders issued by Gao Yi earlier, including the adjustment of the French blockade line, the change of personnel in Baodi, etc., have been fed back one after another to get the news of the completion of the arrangement. At this time, there was still silence outside the gate of the Yellow Mansion.

At nine o'clock, Ah Qi called to report that his manpower was in place. The first batch of 20 Toyo cars has also arrived.

At half past nine, more than fifty Toyo cars had arrived, and Gao Yi ordered Ah Qi to officially launch the second plan.

By ten o'clock, the rearranged capture teams were all over the streets and alleys of Sixteen Pu, forming traps one after another, and the French blockade line was also extended to Jinliyuan Street.

There was no movement in front of the Yellow House. It seems that Huang Jinrong and his wife really held a united meeting, a victory meeting.
