Chapter 204: The provocative Japanese, the leader of the Green Gang
Su Mengxue was bored when she heard it, she glanced at Shen Chen, and wanted to talk again, so she just opened her mouth and said, "Shen-"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a servant rushed in and said, "Miss, miss, your classmate was blocked by the Japanese outside the door, and it looks like a fight." ”
Yes?! Zhang Wan was taken aback, immediately got up, and hurriedly walked out.
Su Mengxue and another girl also hurriedly followed, leaving Shen Chen and Su Mengyu in the house.
"Let's go too!" Su Mengyu was worried about her sister and said, "Otherwise, I'll go and watch some Mengxue by myself." ”
Shen Chen smiled bitterly, got up and walked out.
The Japanese devil is really a plague, a fly, and you can encounter it anywhere.
Shen Chen scolded in his heart, and walked out quickly with Su Mengyu until the gate.
Outside the gate, several of Zhang Wan's classmates gathered in a pile, with two boys blocking in front and three girls shrinking behind.
And there were five or six Japanese who stood in their way, and it was hard to say that they were all Japanese in terms of dress. There were even two guys who seemed to be Chinese, flirting with girls with foul language.
There was only one guy dressed in a Japanese kimono, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and he was looking at the sign of the house, looking empty and disdainful.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Wan saw that her classmates were bullied, and she was furious, this is to celebrate her birthday, it is a big shame!
Rushing to the door, Zhang Wan asked the porter to open the door, and shouted the name of the nursing home, "Ah San, Ah Si, go, drive the Japanese away and invite my classmates in." ”
"But the old man-" The faces of the two guards were difficult, and the old man Zhang had explained that the Japanese would not open the door when they came, and let them shout and entangle.
"I'll tell Grandpa." Zhang Wan was so angry that she choked, "Didn't you see my classmates being bullied?" You are cowardly, afraid of the Japanese. I'm not afraid, open the door, I'll go out by myself. ”
Ah San and Ah Si were helpless and opened the small door, but as soon as they went out, they were blocked by the Japanese.
"Get out of here!" Ah San is also a man in the rivers and lakes, with a bad temper, he was caught up in anger by Zhang Wanshu, and stretched out his hand to point at the Japanese and shouted.
The Japanese stared at the fingers reaching the tip of his nose and pursed the corners of his mouth, his expression was obvious. He slowly raised his head, crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked at Ah San very casually, and said lightly: "You don't have the ability to let me get out, I want to go in and talk to Old Man Zhang." ”
"Our master doesn't want to see you, you leave quickly." Ah Si stepped forward and reached out to push the Japanese who were in the way.
The Japanese leaned his shoulder slightly, and at the same time his right hand reached out, grabbed Ah Si's wrist, turned around sharply, and fell sharply over the shoulder, knocking Ah Si to the ground.
This fell very hard, Ah Si gritted his teeth, a little unable to get up, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
When Ah San saw that his companion was beaten, he was furious, and he went up and punched him. The Japanese went up to parry, and the knife struck sideways, which was very fast, and hit Ah San in the neck.
Ah San was dizzy, his body shook, and he was thrown to the ground by the Japanese with a karate leg throw.
This guy?! Shen Chen frowned, he knew both karate and judo, it looked difficult to deal with!
After the two nursing homes were knocked down in a row, Zhang Wan and the others stared at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Hahahaha. The guys behind the Japanese burst out laughing, and there was a guy who was dressed like five or six but had a lewd face, and he was even more presumptuous with the girls, and the foul language was disgusting.
Not only that, but this guy also beckoned others to approach a few students, as if he was going to make a move.
Shen Chen stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Wan and said, "I'll take them to the back door, and you go to the back door and wait." ”
Zhang Wan didn't know why, blinked stupidly, and looked at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen rolled his eyes, turned around and opened the small door, and walked out.
Seeing that someone came out again, the Japanese repeated their old tricks and stepped forward to block the way. But as soon as this guy stood up, his eyes suddenly widened, and he took several steps back.
The muzzle of a black hole pointed at the head of the Japanese was not as simple as pointing at it.
Shen Chen used a gun to force the Japanese back, and without stopping, he quickly passed this guy and came to the front of the bad guys who were harassing the students.
A guy was smiling, and suddenly his body trembled, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, and he became a shrimp.
Shen Chen kicked his crotch from behind, and then made up for it, kicking this guy to a.
The other two guys realized that someone was coming from behind them and hurriedly turned around.
Shen Chen picked up his right hand, and smashed the gun into the face of the guy on the right. In the splattering of blood, the guy screamed and fell down with his face covered.
The lewd face became stunned, and then turned into fear in the eyes of Shen Chen, who was gradually approaching.
"Shen, Shen ......" The guy pointed at Shen Chen, stumbling to speak.
Oops, can I still recognize it if I'm in disguise?
Shen Chen's hand shook in front of him, and below him was the best crotch kicking and fast feet.
The guy immediately swallowed back the two words he hadn't finished, and fell down with stunned eyes.
"Go through the back door." Shen Chen turned around and waved his hand at a few stunned students.
But he hadn't taken a few steps before the door creaked open.
Shen Chen couldn't help but stop and turned around.
At the opening of the door, an old man appeared in good spirits.
The old man was not tall, with a melon face, not many wrinkles on his face, a pair of bright eyes under his long eyebrows, a clear hook under the high bridge of his nose, and thin lips protecting a neat white tooth.
He had a ruddy face, a straight body, two well-groomed gray beards, and neatly combed gray hair.
Beside the old man, there were four sturdy men, looking out of the door with unkind faces. And Zhang Wan clinged to the old man, muttering and complaining.
Ah San and Ah Si got up in pain and ran to the old man with a look of shame.
The old man looked out the door, confused and confused, unable to figure out what was happening. But with a flash of his eyes, he stared at the Japanese.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." The Japanese bowed slightly.
The old man snorted and said loudly, "I have repeatedly refused, and you have blocked the door and harassed my guests. Yano, you guys are so rude. ”
Yano Yao smiled and said, "I have admired Mr. Zhang's martial arts for a long time, and the contemptible person came to the door today, I don't mean anything else, I just want to have a try." As for the guests who disturbed Mr. Zhang, I apologize here. ”
Fight?! It's quite fresh, Shen Chen pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"What a shame!" Zhang Wan shouted, "My grandfather is over eighty, what about you, how old are you?" A contest is a provocation. ”
Zhang Renkui lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Zhang is old and has been sick for a long time. I will not accompany you in the competition. ”
"Mr. Zhang is in good spirits, and he should be strong when he is old, so why should he refuse?" Yanopi said with a smile: "The old gentleman is the leader of the Qing Gang, and his single-sword martial arts are well-known in Jianghuai, and if he doesn't teach one or two, he will never be reconciled." ”
If you don't want to be reconciled, you will have to entangle!
Zhang Renkui's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but be angry, glaring at Yano fiercely.
Single-knife martial arts are well-known in Jianghuai, or is it the leader of the Green Gang? Shen Chen suddenly thought of a name, and his eyes widened.
If you want to talk about the three major Hengdu, Huang, and Zhang of the Green Gang, they are tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren, and they have accumulated countless wealth, which is defined by strength.
But when it comes to the leader of the Green Gang, this old Mr. Zhang Renkui is the best to do.
Zhang Renkui, a native of Tengxian County, Shandong, made a living by selling smuggled salt in his early years, joined the Green Gang, and was a big-character figure.
As a young man, he joined the Qing army in Jingjiang, Jiangsu, and later served in the Xu Baoshan department. After the success of the first uprising in Wuchang, Xinhai, Zhang declared independence in Nantong in the name of commander-in-chief of Tongzhou. Later, he became a general of the Beiyang Government Army and General Jiewei.
After Zhang Renkui retired due to illness in 1924, he lived in seclusion in the French Concession in Shanghai. In 1928, Zhang Renkui accepted Huang Jinrong, the chief inspector of the Shanghai French Concession patrol, Fang Hua, as an apprentice.
In this way, Huang Jinrong is Zhang Renkui's disciple, Du Yuesheng is his apprentice, and Zhang Xiaolin is his nephew.
During the Republic of China, once the gangs in Shanghai had conflicts with military politicians, they almost always had to find the "respectable" "Old Lady Zhang" to mediate.
By 1935, Zhang Renkui carefully selected more than 200 people from his 3,000 or 4,000 apprentices as members of the Society. Just list the names among them, and you will know how prominent Mrs. Zhang's reputation is.
Yang Hu, Jiang Dingwen, Han Fuyu, Chen Mingshu, Huang Qixiang, Sun Tongxuan, Fan Shaozeng, Zhang Zhen, Huang Jinrong, Dong Xianguang, Zheng Jiemin, Wei Zuomin, Zhang Jingli, etc., all of them are well-known figures.
It is said that only those who are in the upper echelons of society, i.e., those who are special, simple, or recommended in civilian positions, and those who are above the rank of general in the military are eligible to join the Renshe, so there is a saying that "for a while, domestic and overseas heroes gathered in the door wall of the master".
After the fall of Shanghai, Zhang Renkui was stranded in the French Concession of Shanghai due to his advanced age, saying that he was ill and refused to cooperate with the Japanese puppet forces. In addition, he also protected anti-Japanese patriots in many ways and provided intelligence to Chongqing.
The Japanese naturally wanted to win over this highly respected Qinggang leader, so all kinds of characters came one after another, threatening and luring Zhang. But Zhang Renkui was unmoved, and scolded them out of the door.
For this reason, the Japanese became angry and sent the Japanese martial arts master Yano Yaoichi to Zhang Renkui's residence to provoke in the name of martial arts.
So, how is Zhang Renkui's martial arts? Are you really scared of Yano Yoichi?
According to records, Zhang Renkui's family was poor since he was a child, he didn't read much, and he practiced martial arts with his cousin when he was young, and practiced good kung fu in the constant actual combat with the ruffians and hooligans. It's just that I don't have the money to buy a decent weapon - I use a guillotine knife, known as "Zhang Da's guillotine".
In the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889), Teng County opened a scientific examination of Wu Xiucai, and hundreds of people participated in the county.
From this point of view, Zhang Renkui's force value is still quite high. At least it's not all showmanship, it grew up in gang fights and actual combat. And being able to be admitted to Wu Xiucai in the county also shows that he is indeed not in vain.
But there is a saying among martial arts practitioners, called "boxing is afraid of being less strong".
No matter what, Zhang Renkui is over 80 years old, but Little Japan is strong-blooded, this is not a fair competition.
Zhang Renkui was a little enraged, and the anger of these days made him want to have a channel to vent. Therefore, he thought about it again and again, and opened his mouth to agree to the competition.
At this moment, Shen Chen suddenly spoke.
While motioning for the students to pull over and enter the courtyard through the gate, he carried a pistol to prevent accidents, and on the other hand, he sneered at Yano and said, "What kind of character is Old Lady Zhang, it's not a cat or a dog who can compete with his old man." ”
Yano turned his head to stare at Shen Chen, his performance just now proved that this was not a simple guy. Not to mention that he was carrying a pistol, and he couldn't figure out what this guy was doing for a while.
Seeing that Yano didn't speak, Shen Chen also followed the students into the courtyard on guard, and arched his hand at Zhang Renkui, which was regarded as a greeting.
Zhang Renkui didn't recognize Shen Chen either, but he knew that it was from his side, plus Zhao Wan was introducing in a low voice, he smiled and nodded, this is not the time to be polite.
"How can Mr. Zhang accept the contemptible request for martial arts?" Yano decided not to answer the strange guy, and turned to Zhang Renkui again.
He didn't answer Shen Chen, but Shen Chen wanted to speak.
Shen Chen stretched out a finger and said, "Qualification, first of all, qualification." If you want to compete, you have to be able to do both, right? This three-legged cat, four-door bucket, you practice twice in front of us. If we think it's good, then you have some qualifications for the time being. ”
Yano had a rough brain, and he didn't understand the meaning of Shen Chen's words for a while, and blinked his eyes to consider the feasibility.
Poof, Zhang Wan couldn't help laughing.
Covering her mouth, Zhang Wan endured it, but still said with a smile: "Yes, you play a trick!" Let's all judge whether you are qualified to compete with my grandfather. ”
When she said this, several students also reacted. The key is that Zhang Wan said it more explicitly, Shen Chen said practice, she came directly to play.
The laughter rang out, and several students became bold and coaxed: "Play twice, play twice!" ”
Shen Chen turned his head to look at these students, and couldn't help but joke: "You just let people play, do you have any change in your pocket?" ”
"Yes, I have copper plates." A girl screamed at a high level.
Hahahaha, the laughter grew louder.
The lewd guy who was kicked out by Shen Chen woke up at some point, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, moved to Yano's side, and translated in a low voice.
It is said that Yano also knows Chinese, but he does not know the twists and turns in it. But as soon as he translated it, he also understood, and immediately his face was full of anger.
"Yaga Yaru!" Yano drew his katana at his waist at great speed, and volleyed several slashes.
He didn't mean to cut people, after all, there was still a bit of distance. His knives were indeed very powerful and powerful, just to scare the people who laughed at him.
The knife was stunned, and just when Yano was about to put away the knife, Shen Chen suddenly raised his hand and snapped a shot.
Yano suddenly felt a strong force coming from his hand, and thanks to his quick reaction, the katana did not take off. However, his knife shattered. It's not all smashed, but it's broken, and the long knife becomes a small rib.
Looking at the half-cut knife in his hand, Yano realized that the shot just now was not a hit, but a knife. He narrowed his eyes and looked up at Shen Chen.
Accident, what an accident!
Shen Chen also felt surprised in his heart, but there was a natural look on his face.
