The cash money from the purchase of shares was aggregated into an account at Huasheng Bank, and then secretly stored by William in five Tianjin wharf warehouses, which were guarded by a hundred field agents of the Investigation Bureau. The transport ship secretly departing from the Zhoushan Naval Base disguised itself as a British merchant ship and was escorted by two submarines along the way to ensure the secrecy and security of the operation.

In the early morning of the 20th, the disguised "Black Pearl" transport ship arrived at the Tianjin wharf and began to load the last batch of silver deposits. According to the registration records, this merchant ship belongs to Debai Ocean Company, which is the biggest flaw in Wu Jinzhong's arrangement.

Zhang Sanfa, a dock worker, got up early in the morning today, and if workers like them did not grab a good position in the first place, they would not be able to find work after the merchant ship docked, and the leader of the workers would only be able to click on the people in front of him. If you can't grab a job, you can't have an income, and you can't support your daughter without income, thinking of her skinny daughter and her wife who has long since died, Zhang Sanfa feels full of energy, so he gets up before dawn in the early hours of the morning every day to grab a good position on the dock.

While yawning, Zhang Sanfa suddenly felt a urge to urinate, walked to the back of a warehouse, aimed at the sea water below, and a stream of heat gushed out. After peeing, quickly put away your pants, the late autumn in the early morning is really cold, it is better to work early to warm up.

Just wanted to turn back, suddenly heard a "bang" sound from the small dock opposite, the brightness was too low in the early morning, this side and the other side of the small dock were more than 100 meters apart, vaguely saw the figure longing, as if they were carrying something, there were a lot of people.

With a secret scolding, Zhang Sanfa hurriedly ran over there, hurried and hurried, but still didn't catch up with the first wave of merchant ships docking, and let the family rob the job!

"What kind of ship docked so early, in the dark? Looks like you'll have to get up earlier in the future. Muttering quietly, Zhang Sanfa walked around after about fifteen minutes, just popped up, and hurriedly took it back after seeing something, and a cold sweat broke out on his body.

"Mother, no wonder it's so early. It's either an official family or a ****, this is not something we mixed in! What Zhang Sanfa saw was a black barrel, just a few meters away from where he was hiding, and a burly man with a firearm stood by the side.

Zhang Sanfa didn't run, he was cheering himself up: "Take a look again, just take a look, if you find something valuable, and then report it to Wang Wu, you are likely to get a reward." Didn't Wu Lao Er get a reward for ventilating the news a few days ago? ”

The dockers are all organized, most of them are controlled by gangs, every territory, every merchant ship is divided, one-third of the hard-earned money must be handed over, and the rest is their own. The dock where Zhang Sanfa is located is controlled by a gang called the Sea Dragon, and the boss Ji Hailong heard that he is fighting for territory with the Sankui Gang not far away. Maybe it's the Sankui Gang outside.

Finally mustered up the courage, Zhang Sanfa poked his head out tremblingly. The sky was slightly better than just now, and I could vaguely see the appearance of more than ten meters away, and only human figures could be seen in the distance.

The scene was beyond Zhang Sanfa's imagination, there were hundreds of people busy outside, and on the periphery were big men with unknown firearms, and countless porters were coming in and out of a large warehouse. They came out carrying heavy wooden boxes, and some were still pushing them on small carts. The guards kept whispering, and a large ship was moored on the large pier not far away, and the wooden crate was delivered there.

More than a dozen meters away, several workers were picking up something on the ground under the reprimand of the guards. A wooden box was placed aside, which seemed to be the sound that Zhang Sanfa heard, and the worker accidentally dropped the box, causing the goods inside to scatter.

"My mother, I said how to discredit it, it turned out to be silver!" Scattered on the ground were the silver taels of white flowers, which exuded an attractive luster even in the dark.

Zhang Sanfa slowly retreated, turned around and ran after leaving more than ten meters, such a major event must be told to Boss Ji as soon as possible, a reward of silver can't run!

"Big brother, hurry up, the little one really has something important to report to Boss Ji, it's not a trivial matter!" At the headquarters of the Sea Dragon Gang, next to a wooden merchant ship, Zhang Sanfa was anxiously pleading with the two thugs guarding the door.

"You kid is looking for death, right, the boss is most annoyed to be woken up when he is sleeping, we don't want to die if you want to die, go aside, and kill you if you make any more trouble!" The thug said viciously, a little porter still wants to see the boss, or when it is not dawn, not looking for death!

"Two big brothers, it's really a big deal, there is a big ship on our dock, hundreds of people are moving goods there, none of them are ours, and there are a lot of guards with guns, didn't I hurry over to report the news after seeing it!" Zhang Sanfa had no choice but to say a little bit of the situation, if the two thugs put themselves aside to report, wouldn't the reward be gone!

"You kid didn't lie?" The thugs also began to get serious, and if it was true, it was indeed not a trivial matter. "What's your name?"

"The little one is called Zhang Sanfa."

"Wait here, don't go!" One of the thugs turned around and ran towards the boat after a few minutes, and a few minutes later the two thugs ran out and dragged Zhang Sanfa to the boat briskly.

"Boss, he's Zhang Sanfa, and I haven't seen the boss yet!"

Where has Zhang Sanfa ever seen such a scene, the cabin has been lit up, and more than a dozen sweaters are separated from each other, with fierce eyes in their eyes, as for Boss Ji in front, he didn't dare to look up at all.

Ji Hailong was wearing a big leather coat, wearing an inner lining inside, looking like he had just gotten up, but his face was serious, and he was sober: "Zhang Hailong, tell me more carefully what you see." ”

"Hey!" This is the best opportunity, we must seize it, Zhang Sanfa Tsai described it carefully, there was silence in the cabin for more than ten seconds, and one person said: "Big brother, I'll take someone over to see if it's true, and then come back to report." ”

Ji Hailong nodded, eighty percent is true, I don't know which big family has such a big hand, and it may be a big official in Beijing? It doesn't matter where he comes from, as long as he shows up on my territory, it will be a chance for God to give me Ji Hailong!

The outlaw is talking about people like Ji Hailong, who are ruthless and ruthless, or they would not have gone to the position of the helper. According to Zhang Sanfa, if the wooden box is full of silver, how much does it cost? Several hundred thousand? Millions? His own Sea Dragon Gang still earns less than 200,000 taels in a year, half of which has to be handed over to the imperial court, in fact, the real boss on the dock is Li Cripple of the imperial court, I heard that the man was an officer under Yuan Shikai back then, and he came here because he injured his leg, and that person was much more ruthless than himself!

No matter whose money it is, rob it yourself, and then find a place to be at ease, no better than killing and fighting here! Ji Hailong made up his mind, ordered his subordinates to gather, distribute weapons, and then waited for the third child who went out to investigate to bring back the news.

The third child went to find out the news, but one of his henchmen secretly ran to Li Cripple more than 3,000 meters away from the dock, and about half an hour later, the third child felt almost the same and took someone back to Ji Hailong.

"Big brother, I took someone to take a closer look, it is indeed like that, and they have more than ninety guards, extremely strong, all of them are fast guns in their hands, and some I don't recognize, judging from the boxes carried, they are so heavy, except for the stones are silver, and they can't be moved back and forth, at least tens of millions of taels!" After the third child finished speaking, Ji Hailong, who had the heart to blame him for being so slow, also forgot about it, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames.

"Copy the guys, give all the firearms to the four cousins, bring all the bullets, brother, I'll take you to play a big one this time!" Everyone responded violently, and hundreds of sturdy men had gathered outside the ship, all of them were the main fighting forces of the four halls of the Sea Dragon Gang, and more than 200 men with cold weapons in their hands, following behind, and rushing towards the dock more than a thousand meters away.

On the other side, the third henchman found the sleeping Li Cripple at the same time, and as soon as he said this, Li Cripple immediately ordered someone to report to Wu Fengling, the commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Second Division of the Beiyang Army, who was stationed three miles away. The matter is very obvious, and there is no doubt that this silver must be from the Tianjin Rubber Company.

Yuan Shikai had already ordered someone to explore the details of Tianjin Rubber Company in detail, although he did not find any flaws, but such a large investment could not be left alone. In order not to lose his silver, Yuan Shikai ordered the Second Division stationed in Jinan to send a regiment of cavalry to Tianjin to station in case of accidents. In addition, Yuan Shikai also instructed his subordinates to pay attention to the actions of Tianjin, especially about the rubber company.

Wu Fengling of the Second Division knew about this, and Li Cripple knew about it, he knew that the wharf was contracted by the English Debai Yang Company, and the warehouse was also owned by the De Bai Yang Company, and the De Bai Yang Company and Tianjin Rubber originally wore the same pants. Besides, where so much silver exists, Yuan Shikai ordered people to look for it and never found it, and now Tianjin can take out so much silver, except for Tianjin Rubber, there is no one else. Now that it is suddenly loaded secretly, there must be a cat that is tired, and maybe you want to take the silver and run away!

Ordered someone to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai first, and then Wu Fengling immediately ordered the cavalry to assemble, and the cavalry of a regiment suddenly assembled, and then the whole army set off, which could not be done without five or six hours. Wu Fengling first led more than 100 people of the personal guard cavalry company to the dock, and the rest hurried to follow. (To be continued.) )
