The casino owner who was killed by Wu Sibao was not a good stubble, but also a gangster of the Green Gang who "mixed the world", he was one of the "Little Eight Shares of the Party" under Du Yuesheng, and he started by rushing to transport tobacco and soil. { with }{ dream } щ{suimеng][lā} .

His name is Gao Xinbao.

After Gao Xinbao made his fortune, he opened a Lido Ballroom on Matt Hestoff Road in the public concession and served as his manager.

Speaking of which, Wu Sibao and Gao Xinbao also have a teacher-student relationship, Wu Sibao once drove a car for Gao Xinbao and worshiped Gao Xinbao as a "master".

At this time, Gao Xinbao saw that the casino business was very good, so he opened a semi-public casino upstairs in the Lido Ballroom, and the business was very prosperous, and naturally, Wu Sibao also found his door.

Gao Xinbao thought to himself, my casino is in the center of the public concession, not your "No. 76" sphere of influence, besides, what kind of thing are you Wu Sibao?

I think that you Wu Sibao was still my apprentice at the beginning, and now that you are the captain of the guard, you actually want to come to me to dig meat and eat it.

After thinking about it, Gao Xinbao not only paid nothing for filial piety, but also exposed Wu Sibao's shortcomings everywhere, shaking Wu Sibao's old bottoms, these things, of course, quickly reached Wu Sibao's ears.

On a snowy day, shortly after dark, Gao Xinbao was about to return to the Lido Ballroom after fooling around with a courtesan at the Yipinxiang Hotel.

When he was standing on the sidewalk waiting for his car to turn around, the killers Zhao Jiayou and Tang Wanzhi, who had been waiting on the sidelines, suddenly shot at Gao Xinbao.

Gao Xinbao was unprepared, was shot three times and fell on the snow, and on the way to the hospital, he died of exhaustion.

As soon as Gao Xinbao died, no casino owner dared to disobey the order and not pay the "filial piety fee".

A large amount of money flowed into Wu Sibao's pocket, and he swallowed the rest except for handing over part of it to Ye Jiqing.

However, Wu Sibao was not satisfied with this, he thought that the three tycoons of the Green Gang, Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and his disciples, large and small, all started by smuggling and selling opium, and of course this road could not be let go.

However, at this time, the tobacco business in Shanghai was monopolized by the Japanese Satomibo.

Wu Sibao didn't dare to intervene, so he had to find another way, one was to force all the plaster shops and sales and smoking houses to pay him the "monthly rules" on time, and the other was to open a morphine manufacturing factory by himself, and the morphine produced was sold in the store he opened.

In this way, No. 76's wealth has increased greatly, and Wu Sibao has really paid tribute to Li Shiqun and Ye Jiqing.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiqing's desire was insatiable, she was in charge of the safe at No. 76, and forced Li Shiqun every day: "Our personnel have increased significantly, how can the 300,000 yuan from the Japanese be enough?" You can't tell me to put up my own home! ”

"Yes, yes! Madame is right, I want Sibao to get some more money. Li Shiqun obviously knew that what Ye Jiqing said was not the truth, but he had no choice but to echo it.

How does Wu Sibao make money, let's not talk about it for the time being, the large increase in personnel mentioned by Ye Jiqing is indeed the truth.

At No. 67 Daxi Road, Li Shiqun's initial team was seven people, Li Shiqun, Ding Mocun, Tang Huimin, Mao Ziming, Li Zhiyun, Yang Jie, and Daniel Zhang, the so-called "seven-member committee".

After Wu Sibao introduced Zhang Guozhen, he brought more than 100 outlaws.

Pan Da, who originally served as a special patrol in the public concession, brought ten brothers, including Dai Changling, Song Yuan, Sun Zhaobei, and Chen Zhongfang, to join the gang.

Wang Manyun, Ma Xiaotian, Lin Zhijiang, Huang Xianggu, and Gu Jiwu of the Shanghai Municipal Party Department also participated in the meeting.

The change of the court in the Central Union, Jiangsu and Shanghai District, greatly increased the strength of No. 76, and this move was facilitated by Su Chengde, Li Shiqun's classmate in Russia.

The Jiangsu-Shanghai District of the Central Union is the largest secret service organization of the Central Bureau of Statistics in the occupied area.

Su Chengde was the deputy head of the district at the time, and he was originally in cahoots with Li Shiqun, but when he saw that No. 76's strength had increased greatly, and Li Shiqun continued to send people to lure him, he simply changed his court and took refuge in Li Shiqun.

Su Chengde brought out the entire list at once, and more than 40 people in Suhu District were all arrested, and only Xu Zhaolin, the district head, and Cai Jungan, the accountant, were able to escape.

After these people were arrested, they all became important characters in No. 76.

At this time, No. 76 gathered more than 300 people of all colors, of which 150 people set up an action team, with Wu Sibao's disciple, the murderous demon king Zhang Guozhen as the captain.

The rest are engaged in intelligence and deciphering codes, and each has its own division.

With the growth of the "No. 76" secret service, Li Shiqun became more and more complacent.

Once, at a meeting of all the staff of the secret service headquarters, Li Shiqun once raised his arms and shouted: "Destroy the military commander with the left hand, and defeat the central commander with the right hand."

These people in the audience echoed the voice.

That night, Li Shiqun told Ye Jiqing about this "grand occasion".

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiqing stabbed coldly: "Look at your happiness, see me also pull a team, I don't have many people, my strength must surpass you!" ”

……

Shanghai, No. 2, Lane 475, Yuyuan Road, this is a luxurious Western-style house.

Entering the huge iron gate and passing through the courtyard supported by flowers and trees, there is the main hall.

The red waxed floor is a sight to behold, and a full set of mahogany furniture is messily placed in the palatial hall, and a picture of Zhao Gongming and the tiger hangs on the wall.

These furnishings in the living room are obviously extremely incongruous with the Western-style bungalow, and it can be seen that the owner of the house is a rather vulgar person.

Passing through the second living room, there is a garden.

Although the garden is not too big, but the rockery, pool, and flower house are also complete, and in the middle of the garden is a pavilion, in which a copper incense burner is placed, and sandalwood is burned all day long, and the smoke is filled.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, another incense case was added to the pavilion, on the desk, a pair of candles had been lit, a few Ganan incense sticks were inserted in the jade incense burner, and a young woman was kowtowing again and again, muttering prayers in her mouth.

At the end of the prayer, the young woman stood up, her slender figure, wearing a black velvet cheongsam, combed with a horizontal "S" knot, her cheekbones were high, her eyebrows were upturned, and her face was covered with a thin layer of white powder, her face was cold and serious.

This young woman is the mistress of this house, Wu Sibao's wife She Aizhen, she was born to believe in Buddhism, and worshipping Buddha is her daily compulsory class.

"Mrs., Mrs. Li is waiting for you in the living room." Wu Sibao's disciple, a guard at the door, came to report.

As soon as She Aizhen heard that Ye Jiqing was coming, she hurried to the living room in three steps as two steps.

"Madam, why don't you make a phone call if you have something?" She Aizhen said flatteringly.

"Sister, we live next to each other, and we still need to make a phone call? Besides, this matter is not clearly stated on the phone. ”

It turned out that after Wu Sibao made his fortune, he bought this house, and in order to tie up with Li Shiqun, he bought another luxury residence nearby and gave it to Li Shiqun, so the two became neighbors.

"Then ask Madame to tell me, and I will do it."

"That's right, as you already know, a few years ago, Wang Jingwei went to Hanoi and issued a telegram echoing Prime Minister Konoe of Japan, and according to our agreement with the Japanese, my family decided to cooperate with Wang Jingwei and support his 'peace movement'."

"Well, I know."

"Now Wang Jingwei's 'peace movement' is encountering difficulties, mainly because the anti-Japanese elements in the concession have risen up to oppose it, and the agents in Chongqing have taken terrorist measures.

"Madam, could it be that the big guy of my family's four treasures is not doing his job well?"

"It's not, but his actions don't have much impact, so it's no wonder that he's brave and resourceful after all, which requires you to play a role." Ye Jiqing smiled and said.

"I will do so, my big man listens to me, and he doesn't dare to go west if he wants him to go east, madam, where do you think we should start now?"

"Sister, you don't have to worry, I'll tell you when the time comes."

Ye Jiqing paused slightly, and then said: "I have an idea, among these ladies and wives at No. 76, of course you are second to none, and several others are also available, so I want to organize them and the wives who have a relationship with us, and let's make it a wife group." ”

"Madam, your idea is so good, if our team pulls up, it will be stronger than their men." Hearing Ye Jiqing's suggestion, She Aizhen couldn't help but applaud.

"It's not necessarily, it's still necessary for them to come forward with knives and guns, and we have to charge into battle, we just come up with ideas behind the scenes." Ye Jiqing said.

"This is called strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, madam, you are the female Zhuge ." She Aizhen patted Ye Jiqing's ass.

"You go and do it, what I'm going to discuss with you today is to ask your family to take action on the four BMWs, and if it is done, we can get both people and money."

"Madame, please."

Next, Ye Jiqing pulled She Aizhen by his side, and whispered in his ears, She Aizhen couldn't help nodding.

"This is our first action, only success, not failure, you talk to Sibao in detail, think thoughtfully." Finally, Ye Jiqing instructed.

"Madam, I will do it!" She Aizhen agreed.
