August 27 is the anniversary of the enthronement of Emperor Meiji of Japan. During the emperor's tenure www.biquge.info the island nation underwent earth-shaking changes, and the Meiji Restoration put the country on the path of modernization, and its national strength increased significantly. The Sino-Japanese War, also known as the Sino-Japanese War, defeated its huge neighbors, received large indemnities and money, and ceded land, and realized the occupation of Korea. As a result, Emperor Meiji became the true dragon emperor in the eyes of the Japanese, and the anniversary of his enthronement was regarded as an increasingly solemn holiday.

Japanese-funded enterprises in the Shanghai Concession generally have a holiday on the 27th, and the next day is Sunday, so for Japanese expatriates, this is a small holiday of two days in a row. At the Chinoyo Tavern at the northern end of Nanjing Road, drunken men beat plates with chopsticks and sang Japanese military songs.

Until the enemy perishes, marching side by side,

The cold light came out of its sheath and rushed forward resolutely.

At the end of the lyrics, even the tavern owner sang along, and for a while the smell of wine was mixed with the blood of men, and many people were so moved that they cried. This sword drawing anthem was composed in the 18th year of the Meiji era, and was later used as the military song of the Japanese army to commemorate the bravery of the old Japanese samurai in the 10th year of the Meiji Southwest War.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Ichiro Kameda burst into tears, his hands slapping on the table and shouting loudly.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Many people raised their arms and shouted, so that the tavern burst into flames, almost lifting the roof.

"I have prepared firecrackers, let's go out and have a good time, I wish His Majesty the Emperor a long life and a long military fortune of the Japanese Empire."

Kameda took the initiative, and the people in the room responded in unison. In the twilight, a large group of drunken ronin walked out of the tavern, and Ichiro Kameda, who was in the lead, with a firecracker in his hand, went straight to the open space in front of the Yokohama Shogan Bank opposite.

In the small courtyard on the back street of Nanjing Road, Liang Hong looked at his watch, half past six in the evening, which was the pre-agreed action time. Now that everything is ready, we are waiting to finally break through the concrete walls of the bank vault and take the most valuable wealth inside.

There was a crackling, and the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard, occasionally mixed with the roar of a few large hemp thunderbolts.

"Do it!"

The firecrackers must have been set off by the spies to cover up the sound of smashing the concrete wall.

The short-handled hammer smashed into the wall and sparkled everywhere, the vault was built in a hurry, and there was no such material as reinforced concrete, and the red brick wall with cement joints could not stop the continuous smashing of the hammer. After a dozen hammers, there was a boom, and the red bricks were smashed into the vault, and a hole appeared in the wall.

The gas lamp peeked through the hole in the wall and illuminated the inside. Well, there was no one in the vault, only rows of steel shelves standing silently, on which were placed various boxes and paper packets, presumably gold bars, silver dollars, and banknotes.

Then there was a light smash, and the hole in the wall quickly expanded into a large hole that could be freely accessed. Liang Hong couldn't wait to jump over and began to look through the shelves one by one. Pounds, dollars, francs, marks, yen, all kinds of banknotes, worthy of a professional bank dealing in foreign exchange, it is impossible to estimate how much money is in it, anyway, the banknotes are all to be taken away. There can be five or six hundred kilograms of gold stored in the vault, and this must be taken with us. The largest amount left was silver dollars in large iron boxes, which amounted to two or three hundred thousand yuan. There was no way to take the silver dollar with it, it was too heavy, and it weighed a ton in less than 40,000 silver dollars.

Maybe it was because there was so much noise in here just now, and footsteps could be heard outside the vault. However, Liang Hong is not worried, the management of the bank is strict, and the vault is heavy, and not just any guard can open the door. Sure enough, they stopped and waited quietly for a while, when footsteps sounded outside the vault door again, and this time the footsteps faded away.

The two groups passed through the hole in the wall, quickly transporting the most valuable things. A carriage was prepared outside in advance, and according to the pre-drawn plan, the things were transported to the newly rented place on the west side of the concession.

Looking at the silver dollar in front of him, Liang Hong felt very regretful, this is all money. Now all he needs to do is deal with the aftermath, and the new Dana brought from Africa is moved to the vault and made a timer out of a horseshoe watch. Tomorrow morning with a loud bang, the place will be unrecognizable, and most of its traces will be obliterated. Although the thieves will eventually be discovered, it will take a few days to clear the ruins at the earliest, by which time they are already far away. Finally, the various remnants of the yard were examined to confirm that nothing was left that could reveal their identity.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the carriage drove out of the courtyard adjacent to the Yokohama Zhengjin Bank and headed south into the bustling business district of Nanjing Road. After walking in the traffic for a while, he turned to his destination. On Fanwangdu Road in the west of the Public Concession, the newly rented courtyard is near St. John's College, and the land price is cheap, and the monthly rent of the entire courtyard is only 50 yuan. Caves had been dug under the floor tiles of the room, gold and small denomination banknotes were put in and buried, and large banknotes were carried by Liang Hong. Everything is done, the floor tiles are restored to their original shape, the eastern sky has been slightly white, and a new day has begun.

Shen Yue got up very early today, she has lived here since she was a child, and she is about to leave now, so it is inevitable that she will be a little sad. Standing in the courtyard and looking left and right, every place and everything has a memory in it. Looking up at the window on the second floor, the curtain was opened, indicating that the man had not returned overnight. Where can you go? went to meet friends, talk about business, or simply went to the Qinglou to spend all day drinking, thinking of the last possibility, inexplicably a little sour in my heart.

Before leaving, I wanted to say goodbye to that person and thank him for his rescue, but unfortunately this wish is about to fail. The guy with the eyebrows and the eyes of the thief, in fact, is not too bad, and that scene has always appeared in his mind these days, protecting her with his body, and then raising his foot and kicking out. Thinking about it, he is actually handsome, and he is more heroic than the martial arts on the stage, as if there is one more thing in his bones than them.

Shen Yue didn't pay attention, through the window, her mother was watching her all the time. She couldn't see it, and her mother's eyes were full of worry.

"It's good to go, so you don't have to be hooked."

Mrs. Shen muttered to herself.

At the same time, on Fanwangdu Road to the west of the concession, Liang Hong got up from the bed yawning. I've only slept for two hours after lying down, and my brain is still a little dizzy. After washing their faces in a hurry and changing into clean clothes, they were leaving Shanghai today. The people involved in the bank case, two white special forces and the spy Eryi went to Jinan by land to assist in the recruitment of personnel there, while Liang Hong took the spy 05 and spy 18 to Tianjin by boat.

The packing was already packed, and the most important thing was two things, a radio transmitter and a large bill that had been taken from the Bank of Yokohama vault yesterday. I looked at my watch again, it was almost six o'clock, it was time to come, and I hope nothing went wrong, otherwise it may leave unnecessary trouble.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when he was waiting a little anxiously, he finally heard a loud noise from the northeast.
