Chapter Ninety-Six: Accumulation 4 (Text)

Periphery of Guangfu,

As one of the dark sides of the metropolis, it is always impossible to stop the darkness under the lights, and it has become one of the typical ones in the sand districts of various foreign ethnic groups and black households at the bottom of the society, criminals, outlaws, outlaws and underground gangs at home and abroad, and various places where dirt and dirt are hidden.

Although it is located between the two large districts of Seoul and Pingseok, it was originally a small fishing village on a sandbar washed out by a river, and then used smuggling and other illegal activities as fodder, and in the gap between urban and rural areas, it quickly developed into a huge gray area that is constantly expanding crookedly.

Although the majority of the people of Canton will deliberately forget and ignore the existence of these places, at least in any official records, they will not admit that there is such a region, but it is like a piece of moss on the outskirts of the city, stubbornly persisting in the crackdown and clean-up of successive rulers.

Because it is in the process of the development of the metropolis, the filth, residues, and wastes produced will be concentrated here under some wonderful inertia and natural laws, and then continue to breed in another appearance and way. At first, it was just a village of untouchables of all ethnic groups who disposed of garbage, and then it became a real village

The various sea and trade activities that pass through guò every year, and the foreign population stranded in Canton and the large number of smuggling interests provide a steady stream of vitality and new blood to the area, while the river branches leading to the open sea always carry away the losers and the crushed dregs that have no value at all.

Therefore, like those extralegal places in the shadow of the metropolis, the most striking appearance here is

All kinds of wanton buildings piled together like open-air garbage, narrow and fine alleys as large and small as cobwebs, from time to time deep and shallow feet submerge ankles, or splash sewage cross-flow all over the lower body, is the most common normal state here, crooked ditches, all kinds of animals float all day long, or the organs of unknown creatures, and even people who have not completely died.

In the dark corners of the dark streets, there is always no shortage of ugly behaviors staged around the clock. Only people like rats and cockroaches can survive in this environment.

Although there is no sense of law and political power here, it has its own law of the jungle and rules and styles, whether it is a passer-by who comes and goes in a hurry, or a local born here, will feel this with the most intuitive experience.

Under the gloomy sky, a drizzle has just fallen, and the air here does not become cooler, but more humid.

Hung with red carp stripping signs, swaying in the wind, although it is only a small tavern, it is a comprehensive place that can provide the cheapest drink, food, accommodation and prostitutes, and at the same time provide a cheap place for those who have only a small income.

Here, as long as a few copper dollars buy a cup of muddy and bad liquor mixed with I don't know how much water is mixed with, you can pretend to be here for a night, and then you can be thrown out of the closed shop in the dark.

The peasant maids who were devoured by the city and their savings, and only the remnants of the peasant maids, the part-time maids, and the old prostitutes who couldn't hide the fat powder, all had their own place here, at least until the last bit of surplus value of the flesh and skin was completely squandered.

A hooded seaman, through the crowded hall that was still full of people and smoky miasma in broad daylight, skillfully avoided several arms that wanted to take advantage of him or leave something behind, and the dusty maids on his faces, walked on the creaking wooden ladder and the floor slab, came to the innermost door, and suddenly smashed it a few times.

The door opened naturally,

"It's so daring......"

The cramped cramped cubicle didn't stop him, and the seafarer sat down cross-legged after stepping over the garbage and plates on the floor and sweeping away the mess

"Connorrob, you dare to be here."

"Where else could I go......"

The man named Connorrob sat up with his shirt open and only a pair of trousers, and a ball of oily cigarette paste in his hand.

The wrinkles and green tendons of the sleeping prostitutes around him can't be covered even by the thick foundation of the wall ash. He is no longer young, the muscles on his body are beginning to slack and sag, his face is full of scruffs, and his eye sockets are deep.

"The shipwrights are scattered, and the ship is gone......"

"The promised reward has not been received......"

"Your current worth is worth a thousand"

Haike reminded.

"When the eldest prince returned to Guangfu, those countrymen and retainers in the domain were all vying to show their loyalty to that person and show their ......"

"If you don't have old acquaintances, you can't sell your whereabouts."

"It's so impressive......

Connorrob yawned

"On this street, if you find someone to stab you, it will cost you about a penny...... You can bargain for more than three dollars."

Then he laughed at himself

"If it's a thousand, I can probably spend it here ⊥ to death......"

"You're open-minded......"

Haike continued disappreciatively

"I didn't think about doing anything for myself......

"What to do ......"

Connor Rob was still lazy.

"The price offered by the mistress is impressive, but I don't have the life to take it......"

"Mistress?"

Haike sneered

"Let's wait until that singer becomes a proper lady......"

"Instead of relying on the favor of the old feudal lord, throwing money everywhere to find those old relationships...... Eye-opening for yourself"

"Even if she is the old love of the old feudal lord's childhood sweetheart, how can she ......?"

"As soon as the eldest prince comes back, the people's backs will be obvious......"

"She is unwilling to be able to do anything, people are upright and upright"

"Even the head of the family can't do anything to him on the surface......"

"If it weren't for the Mistress, who would it be......"

Connor Rob reopened

"It doesn't matter who is behind me, the important thing is that I can give you this opportunity......"

Haike shook his head

"Someone will always burn the cold stove,......"

"If you are not optimistic about the little prince, it doesn't mean that you don't have a chance at all, especially when the old feudal lord is still healthy......"

"What's more, the people in my generation don't just focus on Fuyuan Prefecture...... Above the Luo Domain, there is also the Zong Domain"

"Then I will advise you too"

Connorrob yawned again.

"Never underestimate a woman......"

"Especially a woman who can do anything for herself and her children"

"That's why I'm hiding here......"

After talking for a while, the seafarer left a money bag and said goodbye. Connor Rob also stood up, weighing the number, and then took out a piece of paper with a new identity letter, muttering in a voice that only he heard.

"It's another bunch of ...... who want to bet on both sides Clever people only. ”

"Well, sorry......"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the neck of the woman who was pretending to be asleep beside him, and before her pleading gaze and the pleading cry before he could say it, he clicked hard, and a large wet and hot stain faded on the bed

Suddenly, there was a shouting and running sound from downstairs, seemingly shouting Connor Rob's name. He couldn't help sneering, this seafarer came over, and there was really nothing good.

"This is the first test,"

On the far street, the seafarer looked at the barricaded tavern and whispered to himself

"If you can't even ...... this level"

Then he was a little surprised to see smoke and flames suddenly burst out of the narrow window of the tavern, and then quickly turned into a large tongue of fire that could not be concealed under the internal combustibles.

"Gone out of the water......"

With a terrible shout, it quickly turned into a commotion all over the street.

"It is worthy of the loyal dog Kang ...... who was born in Fuso".

Haike laughed

"It's ruthless, it's very hard......"

The whole street is like a smoked anthill, rushing out, and the encirclement of those people is self-defeating, but I don't know how many people will be buried in the fire, and I don't know how many will be industrialized into ashes.

Soon after, another place,

"Enough is enough,......"

The city boss, a man who looked like a clerk said impatiently

"Even if it's the kindness of the township party, I've done enough for you......"

"This is Canton, not your Borneo......"

"A place where any cat or dog can do whatever it takes."

"Of course we're not going to mess around,"

Haike said with a smile as he said as he handed a roll of things to the clerk.

"I just hope that with the help of your relationship, you can give us some doors......

"That's all there ......"

The clerk glanced at the scroll of paper in his hand, there were at least four of them, and the top one was also a three-digit number, which immediately greatly strengthened his persuasiveness and softened his face.

"Of course, when we are out, we are just asking for convenience......"

Haike's face did not change, but he had already begun to speculate in his heart whether the future death of this insatiable man would be a hanging beam or drowning.

Although the mother and daughter who picked up the halfway gift bag, after being rescued, they expressed a very gentle courtesy, even if the dress was torn and tattered, the first time was to pull their daughter, and sincerely thanked me, it seems that the speech and behavior are quite good, and they claim to be the family of an ordinary official, unfortunately they met a thug or something, if they didn't bump into us to sell and rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But I still can't help but complain, there is such a well-organized plan, even when I see passers-by who are followed by guards, they are not far away, but rioters who rush up to kill them,

I can somewhat understand their basic fears and precautions, but I don't have time to ink with them, and I don't have the heart to test their identities, so I sent someone to report to the official and send the mother and daughter to the Meishan Hall where Mrs. Chen is, believing that my sister will handle this matter better.

In fact, even if I report to the official, no one will come this time, and there is already some chaos in the lower city. In this case, I arrived at Clear Spring Street,

Although the appearance is still the same, the transfer and evacuation of materials and personnel have already begun in the interior of the Tiangongfang, which is the headquarters of the firm, and the mobilization efficiency of the commercial organization and private forces is reflected here.

The main working capital and accounts, the documents, the equipment in the workshop and the craftsmen, the masters, have all been moved to the vicinity of the training camp in a piecemeal manner, and only a few daily sales goods and men remain, maintaining a symbolic business.

Each person was given a small bag of copper dollars, and when necessary, they were splashed on the ground to get out.

A bag of things was carefully taken out of the heavily locked box, according to my requirements, hurried and hurried, and the newly processed dozen long and short round pipes were exuding polished luster.

This is some purely hand-made barrels, using forging, planing, drilling, grinding several simple machinery and tools, to complete, in contrast, the imitation of those parts is much simpler, and compared with the sample, the score is exactly the same, the only more troublesome is the elastic reed,

In the end, it is said that it was cut from the elastic steel bar removed directly from the shock absorbing frame of the four-wheeled carriage, and according to the information provided by the mysterious creature, there was already a relatively rudimentary iron casting method in this era, so the quality of raw materials and processing technology were found.

All that's left is the commissioning of the assembly.

I put the empty guns one by one, some of the springs were still a little loose, some of them had a lot of stroke friction, and some of the flints and the fire wheels were not very tightly connected, and it took a few hits before the sparks came out.

I went to another fireworks workshop, most of the personnel equipment, finished products and materials have been removed, I took a few large bags of delicate gunpowder that I let people try, after grinding and screening the ingredients, to get a dust-like surface, and then wet blending, in a rolling dustpan, kneaded into uniform size of the average medicine granules, with a wooden fan to blow and filter in.

The burn reaction was even more rapid than the sample I got from the rider guard. Along with them, there were dozens of custom-made thin-walled pottery vases, and Ruoyu molds.

There was a heart-rending shouting and the movement of a large crowd of people running.

"The rebel party has entered the city......"
