Chapter Twenty-Three: The Axe Gang Rats

Yamato & Co. is located in the most prosperous center of the French Concession, close to the Concession Patrol House, the French Consul, and the Japanese Consulate. There are many foreigner-owned western restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area, as well as several smoke houses and gambling halls.

?????? Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion stood on the side of the street not far from Yamato, pretending to be here to play like students. Buy small items from time to time. Li Tie saw the two thousand-tailed scorpions in student uniforms, and found that they had a heroic demeanor even if they wore skirts.

??????? Although there are important things to do, but when a beautiful woman goes out, a man always has to look graceful, so the matter of carrying things and paying for it all falls on Li Tie.

???????? Fortunately, the two of them also knew that they were just buying something as a cover, so the two of them did not let go of their hands and feet to buy indiscriminately, and most of the purchases were only small items such as silk scarves and handkerchiefs, but Li Tie found that the cigarettes sold by a cigarette stall next to him were good, and he bought a pack when he was idle and bored.

???????? When I got the cigarette in my hand, I remembered, I was so stupid. At this time, I haven't thought too much about mouth cigarettes. I can exploit this market, is there anything more profitable than cigarettes?

???????? Thinking of this, Li Tie finally knew what his foreign bank would rely on to maintain long-term business growth in the future. That's right, just sell cigarettes.

????????? As soon as the matter was over, he arranged for people to go abroad, and he had already figured out how to monopolize the cigarette industry.

Picking up the cigarettes he had just bought, Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion slowly stood together.

?????“ Sister Qian, this Yamato foreign company really has some doorways. You see, their foreign bank was not only built next to the patrol house. Also next to the French Consulate.

??????????? They must have wanted to borrow the military strength of the French to protect their own industries in Shanghai, and if there was any accident in the foreign company, not only the agents of the patrol room would come in an instant, but even the guards of the French consulate would have to be checked out. "Li Tie is still a bit of a doorman, and he can see the extraordinaryness of Yamato and foreign companies.

???“ Well, not only that, but you can see where their foreign company is located, in the middle of the street, front and back, left and right, and the shops on both sides are not as high as their foreign company, so they have the best view.

???????? If there is a battle in the future, as long as they arrange four firepower points at the highest end of the top floor to guard, this foreign bank will be an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, didn't you notice that there are many people passing by the entrance of the foreign store and around the door of the foreign store repeatedly? I reckon these are mobile sentinels in disguise. The thousand-tailed scorpion also made its own point.

"Just looking at the fact that they have arranged four guards at the door, I know that the guards in this Yamato foreign company must be stricter. I don't know what secret is hidden here? There were so many people guarding it. If we were to attack this place, and we didn't figure out the defensive arrangements here, the casualties would be very heavy. "Li Tie had already thought of the battle scenario that would likely occur here when the Japanese army occupied Shanghai in the future." Brother Li, even if we want to take revenge on Yamato, we can't directly occupy this place, what we want to do is to retaliate unknowingly, not to cause a big war between the two countries. Let's go, let's go to Daiwa Bank again. ”

The Yamato Bank is separated by two blocks from the foreign bank, and the straight-line distance is still very close.

The thousand-tailed scorpion felt that it was no longer necessary to wander around the foreign bank, and took Li Tie to the Yamato Bank again. It was found that the guards of the Yamato Bank were also tight, not only did they have more guards than the foreign banks, but even there were many gang disciples with short guns around the bank to help patrol.

Although this Yamato Bank is not next to the patrol house and foreign consulates, it is next to the Yamato Bank next to a Japanese martial arts hall, which is called Hongkou Dojo.

Li Tie couldn't help muttering in his heart, and he didn't know if this Hongkou Dojo was the same as the Hongkou Dojo played in the movie in the previous world, if he was going to find an opportunity to throw a few bombs and blow up this dojo.

Just when a few people were still wandering around the Yamato Bank, I don't know when, Hei Er had already come to the side of several people. Li Tie was still wondering how this black second had found them so quickly.

The thousand-tailed scorpion is indeed a matter of course, not at all surprised. Summoned Hei Er to come to him, and asked Hei Er what was the matter.

????????“ Report to my aunt, two good news, Brother Li's driver and his attendant are still alive, and the news from the hospital that both of them are now out of danger of life, and the brothers and the guys from the foreign bank are there to take care of them. I came here to deliver the message to reassure Brother Li. ”

????????“ It's true? Thank you so much, Second Brother Hei, I don't know when I will be able to visit the two of them? Li Tie was naturally very happy when he heard that the two of them were not in danger of life.

??????????“ That Zhao Dabao was shot three times, and your follower Tie Dan was the most fatal, and he was shot six times in the body, but none of them hit the vital point. Doctors said they would be in the hospital for at least three more days before they were allowed to visit. ”

?????????“ So what's the other piece of good news? The thousand-tailed scorpion asked.

??????????“ The person in charge of tracking down Yamato Ryota reported that they had found another residence of their family, which was very suspicious.

????????? This residence is not in the French Concession, but in a very remote place in the Public Concession, surrounded by ordinary houses, there are no big businesses and government departments, if we want to do something about the Yamato family. This place of residence is the most convenient place. ”

???????“ Okay, let the brothers not startle the snakes, it is inconvenient for us to go there now, Hei Er, you continue to send more people to monitor them, to see how many residences the Yamato family has, and which of these residences are their permanent residences. Usually, you have to find out who is coming in and out.

????????????? As soon as the people of the finch group arrive, we will arrange for them to find out, and we will take revenge on the Japanese before Dabao and the Tie Dan brothers are discharged from the hospital, which can be regarded as celebrating their safe escape. The thousand-tailed scorpion finally set the tone, and it was not a short time to come out, and he took Li Tie back to the Golden Tiger Shooting Club, and the person who captured Dongsheng Pharmacy came back, and was waiting for the thousand-tailed scorpion in the office.

"Report to my aunt, the boss of Dongsheng Pharmacy and his companions, a total of five people, turned into businessmen, and prepared to leave Shanghai by boat, but before they arrived at the dock, they were directly kidnapped by our rickshaw brothers.

?????????? Now in a warehouse on our dock, they have been interrogated for an hour, and no one has admitted that it was the Li Tie brothers they assassinated. Moreover, they also said that they did not know Yamato Rada before.

???????????? They said that this young man claimed to have the disease of the willows, so every time he came mysteriously, he stayed for a long time. Did we catch the wrong person? Hei Da was on the side, respectfully reporting to the thousand-tailed scorpion.

"It can't be wrong, since this Yamato Ryota's father is the head of the Japanese spies in Shanghai, he can't be innocent. The more suspicious people are, the more suspicious they are, why are they in such a hurry to leave Shanghai? ”

"It is said that a loved one at home has passed away, and he is in a hurry to return to Japan for the funeral." Black big fifteen ten said.

"What are you kidding, the Japanese are still interested in this? Tell the interrogating brothers to be tortured. You're welcome, with a heavy sentence. The Thousand-Tailed Scorpion's tone intensified.

"When I came, I had already confessed to them for torture. Xiaoliu personally presides over you, so rest assured. ”

"Okay, I'll be informed if there's anything new in a moment." The thousand-tailed scorpion casually sent away the black big and turned to the black kill.

"Brother Xiang, when will the manpower in Hong Kong arrive?"

It was impossible to get to Shanghai soon, but there were a few brothers in the Mouse Bird Hall who were on business near Shanghai. After receiving the order from my aunt, there were already three brothers who had just arrived in Shanghai. Now that you're resting, do you want to see them now? ”

"Okay. That's what I mean, let them come. ”

After a while, the door of the office opened again, and an old, a young, and a middle-aged man entered.

Li Tie had long heard the Thousand Tailed Scorpion talk about the ability of the Mouse Sparrow Hall. In the past, every time the boss of the Axe Gang, Wang Yaqiao, assassinated, there would be people from the Mouse Bird Hall to probe the terrain in advance, the behavior and habits of the target, and spy on various news to facilitate the assassination, and after the assassination was successful, there would be people from the Mouse Bird Hall who were responsible for creating chaos and providing escape opportunities, and there were also rules for breaking off.

????????? This rat finch hall is actually divided into two divisions, the rat group and the finch group, and each rat finch group is composed of several different squads, each team ranging from two to three or five people. Generally, it is a team based on the proficiency and complementarity of cooperation.

Seeing the three people who came in, a gorgeously dressed old man, a tatters-dressed young man, and a middle-aged man in a robe, what kind of combination is this?

As soon as the three of them entered the room, the older old man in gorgeous clothes bowed slightly, and introduced himself first, "The mouse has seen my aunt through the gopher." ”

"Hmm!" The thousand-tailed scorpion nodded.

"The kid is a mouse bird hall touching the golden mouse, see the aunt, I wish the aunt a long youth and all the best." The tattered-clad teenager looks a bit cultured.

"Well, I am a talent on the list of the former dynasty, ten years of hard study, traveled all over the country, today I am fortunate to meet the thousand tails of the aunt, it is a great blessing in my life, more like a long drought and nectar, and like," Before the middle-aged man finished dragging the ancient text, he heard the sound of the thousand tails scorpion, slapped the table in front of him with his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Speak well." ”

frightened the middle-aged man, he immediately became half shorter, bowed his waist, and his head was almost on the ground, "My subordinates are changeable, please appease your anger, two days ago, I was ordered to pretend to be a former Qing and land showman, and mixed into a warlord's house as a western seat, this is too deep in the play, please don't blame my aunt." ”

?????????????“ I've known all three of you, do you know your mission? ”

The previous gopher replied: "I know the senior aunt, the black killing hall master has already told us, we will set off tomorrow, and when we come back in the evening, we can hand over the answer for the senior aunt to choose." ”

"Very well, that's how efficient we should be in the Axe Gang. I know you've been working hard lately, so let's go down and get some rest. Tomorrow's task is completed, and each person will be rewarded with five hundred silver dollars, and after speaking, he pointed to Li Tie on the side, and he took out his pocket. ”

"Ah, why me?"

"Because I don't have any money."

"Who said that, I just gave you 30,000 silver dollars as an intermediary fee."

"That's the income we deserve from the Axe Gang, and it has nothing to do with me. I only have a hundred silver dollars a month to spend in allowance, how can I have extra money to reward them? ”

"Aren't they from your Axe Gang?"

"Yes, but you also heard it, they are from the Mouse Bird Hall, and they are directly under our gang director, just like the Killing Hall. I'm just borrowing them this time, and of course I'll have to pay a little bit for the rent. The thousand-tailed scorpion looked right.

"Well, I finally know why no one dares to provoke you. You are even a pit for your own people. ”

"Who is the pit, who is your own person?" The thousand-tailed scorpion couldn't help but ask.

"Me, I'm your godbrother, don't I count myself as my own?"

"Of course it is, but it can only be regarded as my own person, not our own person of the Axe Gang, who comes out to make a clear distinction between public and private."

"Oh!" Li Tie was defeated by the thousand-tailed scorpion. Forget it, good men don't fight with women, and thousands of silver dollars are not in Li Tie's eyes, and he has this money.
