Chapter 0033: Axe Gang Leader
After Takayoshi Tanaka left, Feng Chen walked into the office, put the wine on the coffee table and said, "Teacher, today is the second day of the traditional Chinese New Year, and the students came over to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hiraoka Ryuichi barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said in a flat tone: "Feng Sang, thank you!" β
"Teacher, I invite you in the evening, how about our teachers and students go to the "Green Wave Corridor" on Yuyuan Road to have a drink? I heard that the "fan-shaped water throwing" and "raw eel back" there are very good. β
"Okay, by the way, I would like to introduce you to two new young people from the consulate."
As he spoke, Hiraoka Ryuichi grabbed the phone on the desk, dialed Matsuo Taro, gave a few instructions, put down the phone, got up and said, "Feng Sang, let's wait for them downstairs first." β
Feng Chen accompanied Ryuichi Hiraoka to stand in the courtyard of the consulate for a while, and saw Taro Matsuo walking out of the building with a man and a woman behind him.
Both of them were in their twenties, the man was not tall, slightly fat, and his eyes were squinted, as if he had been smiling; Female, medium and thin, with big and bright eyes, these two Feng Chen had never seen in the consulate.
The three of them walked up to Ryuichi Hiraoka and bowed to Ryuichi Hiraoka, and then Taro Matsuo turned around and went to drive, after the car drove over, Ryuichi Hiraoka sat in the passenger seat, and Feng Chen sat in the back with the man and woman.
When the car started to drive, Ryuichi Hiraoka, who was in the passenger seat, turned around and introduced the man and woman to Feng Chen: "This, Mr. Yoshio Yoshida, is the new consular attachΓ©; This is Miss Sakurako Inoue, the new second secretary of the consulate. β
With Hiraoka Ryuichi's introduction, Feng Chen smiled and nodded at the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting.
After a pause, Ryuichi Hiraoka continued: "Feng Chen, Mr. Feng, my most trusted student, a reporter from Xinsheng News Agency, and a young talent in Shanghai's cultural circles. β
After the introduction, Ryuichi Hiraoka leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The car quickly drove to the "Green Wave Corridor" on Yuyuan Road, and after getting off the car, everyone hugged Pinggang Longyi and walked into the restaurant, the young runner, still full of smiles, shouted loudly: "Five distinguished guests are here, hot tea is waiting!" β
Everyone sat down at a table by the window, and after pouring a cup of hot tea for each of them, they asked, "What do you want to eat today?" β
Feng Chen glanced at Hiraoka Ryuichi and asked, "Teacher, what kind of dishes do you want to order?" β
"Let them serve some of the specialties here." Ryuichi Hiraoka replied with a slight smile.
The runner turned around and arranged.
Feng Chen picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and the voice of the young runner at the door came again: "Four distinguished guests are here, hot tea is waiting!" β
Hearing the greeting, Feng Chen inadvertently glanced in the direction of the door of the restaurant, only to see a man in his thirties, medium stature, thin body, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looking like a scholar, followed by two men and a woman.
Seeing the four people who came in, Feng Chen's hand holding the cup trembled, his eyes widened, and he froze there.
Wang Yaqiao? Shen Bailu?
Of the four people who came in, two of them Feng Chen knew.
The man who walked in front of him was the famous "assassination king" Wang Yaqiao.
Wang Yaqiao, founded the Axe Gang in Shanghai in 1921, defeated Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and often supported the poor.
On November 10, 1923, he assassinated Xu Guoliang, the head of the Songhu Police Department, and defected to Lu Yongxiang after the incident, conscripted in Huzhou, and became Jinlan brothers with Dai Li and Hu Zongnan.
In June last year, Wang Yaqiao assassinated Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Nationalist Government, in Lushan, and in July, he shot Song Ziwen, the finance minister of the Kuomintang, at Shanghai North Railway Station.
This person does not have a common language with the underground party. However, he is very sympathetic to the weak and has a sympathetic attitude towards the underground party, and last year spent a huge amount of money to buy a printing house to fund the newspaper "Red Flag Daily" sponsored by the underground party.
After the Japanese army began to attack Shanghai on January 28, Wang Yaqiao urgently convened the "Axe Gang" on January 29, announced that he would "go all out to resist Japan", and established the Songhu Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, with himself as the commander, gathering more than 3,000 people and 20 brigades under his jurisdiction, and went to the Taicang battlefield to cooperate with the 19th Route Army in a bloody battle.
How did he get here? Who are the other two men?
Finding that Feng Chen was a little strange, Hiraoka Ryuichi next to him asked softly, "Feng Sang, what's wrong with you?" β
"Assassinate the king Wang Yaqiao!" Feng Chen replied softly.
"Who?" Hiraoka Ryuichi asked in a low voice.
"Wang Yaqiao!"
This time, the few people sitting around the table all heard it clearly, the name Wang Yaqiao was enough to make many people frightened, Matsuo Taro, Yoshio Yoshida, and Inoue Sakurako all reached out to touch their waists.
"Don't move!" Hiraoka Ryuichi scolded softly.
Wang Yaqiao stood at the door of the restaurant, glanced around at the guests sitting in the restaurant, and then took the three people behind him and swaggered to another window table and sat down.
Since the moment Shen Bailu stepped into the restaurant, a pair of beautiful eyes had been scanning back and forth on Feng Chen's table from time to time, and when they met Feng Chen's eyes, Shen Bailu smiled slightly and nodded.
Feng Chen has been thinking about whether to go over to say hello and although he didn't have too much communication with Wang Yaqiao, Feng Chen asserted that Wang Yaqiao must know him.
Moreover, this Wang Yaqiao was once Feng Chen's idol when he was young, a fanatical anarchist, and a loyal and courageous warrior.
"Feng Sang, it looks like you know each other?" Ryuichi Hiraoka asked.
"I haven't dealt with him, he should know me."
"Out of politeness, you should go over and say hello." Ryuichi Hiraoka said unhurriedly.
Feng Chen hesitated, stood up, smiled, and walked towards where Wang Yaqiao was sitting.
"Brother Jiuguang is good!" Feng Chen clasped his hands into fists and greeted Wang Yaqiao.
"Oh? Isn't this Feng Dagongzi, a reporter from the Xinsheng News Agency? Wang Yaqiao asked with a pair of sharp eyes, looking up and down at Feng Chen through the lenses.
Several other people at the table focused their eyes on Feng Chen almost at the same time.
"I heard that a few days ago, Grand Prince Feng led the troops of a platoon of Commander Cai's guard company to recover the North Station and eliminate the Waikou Marine Corps Headquarters, which is really admirable!"
"Brother Jiuguang has won the award, compared with Brother Jiuguang's chivalrous deeds, what the contemptible people have done is really not enough to worry about, just to lead the way."
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband! The Japanese deceive our poor and weak, arrogant, our generation must work together, get and punish quickly, even if it leads the way, it is worthy of admiration. β
Seeing that Wang Yaqiao didn't mean to introduce himself to several other companions, Feng Chen couldn't stay too long, and hugged his fists again and said: "Brother Jiuguang, I won't disturb you, when it's convenient, I want to interview Brother Jiuguang, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?" β
"It's easy to say, as long as I'm still in Shanghai, I'm always welcome to visit the Humble House." Wang Yaqiao agreed very boldly.
Feng Chen returned to his place and sat down, and Hiraoka Ryuichi asked curiously, "Feng Sang, what are you talking about, so speculative?" This person doesn't look like a murderous demon at all. β
"Teacher, this person has been studying since childhood, is brilliant, has participated in the former Qing imperial examination, ranked in the top ten, and can be regarded as a literati, but he is stubborn, jealous and hateful, brave in the face of righteousness, indomitable, and has the spirit of an ancient martyr."
"It's better to have less contact with this kind of person! Who are the others? Ryuichi Hiraoka asked.
"Wang Yaqiao didn't introduce him, and I don't want to ask more, but it doesn't look like an ordinary person." Feng Chen replied.
"Matsuo-kun, Yoshida-kun, you guys secretly investigate those two older men for me, I always have a very bad premonition, this Wang Yaqiao seems to be conspiring with these two people to do something unfavorable to the Japanese Empire." Ryuichi Hiraoka commanded.
"Hey!" Matsuo Taro and Yoshio Yoshida respectfully agreed.
At this time, Feng Chen kept drawing a question mark in his mind, who is this woman Shen Bailu? The background is too complicated, isn't it? What occasion can you meet her?
It seems that this woman is not just a courtesan......
