Li Yaoting also scolded angrily: "The newspapers of foreigners have always been nonsense, Da Kunzi, dissipate your anger, I invite you to drink." ”

As he spoke, he went to the counter and brought two bottles of wine, opened the cap with his back molars, and handed a bottle to Chen Zikun, who tasted it and frowned: "So bitter? ”

"You don't understand, this is beer, transported from Harbin, just like this, just drink it." Li Yaoting leaned on the bar and said very leisurely, in just a few days, he had already brought some foreign flavors of Shanghai Beach with his gestures.

Chen Zikun tilted his neck, poured the beer down in one gulp, burped and said, "What the fuck, it's really bad, bring another bottle." ”

Li Yaoting was dumbfounded: "It's hard to drink, do you want another bottle?" Yes, I'm here to help. Turning around and taking another bottle of beer, and wanting to take the back molars, Chen Zikun snatched it, his thumb pry the bottle cap and flew, poured two mouthfuls and said: "Kanto is China's land, the army of little Japan is stationed along the railway, Beijing is the capital of China, there is a large group of foreign **** teams living in Dongjiaomin Lane, Shanghai is also China's land, but a concession is made for foreigners to be the masters, shooting Chinese on our territory, you say, what is going on?" ”

Li Yaoting comforted him and said: "Who doesn't know, the foreigners' ships are strong and the guns are sharp, we can't beat it, this concession is not a matter of a while, it has been since the time of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Chen shook his head and said: "Today, I finally understand why those students burned down Zhao's house and why they went to the streets, because they don't want their children and grandchildren to live like this again." ”

Li Yaoting said: "This person, the most important thing is to be happy, don't trouble yourself with things that you can't solve, we are ordinary people, we have a good meal, how can we manage so much." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the anger of the husband cannot shed thousands of miles, but it can also splash blood in five steps." After speaking, he leaned his neck and drank the beer, put the bottle down heavily, and said, "Take the bottle and come hard." ”

Li Yaoting had to take a bottle of brandy over, and said with a sad face: "If you drink it again, I should go bankrupt." ”

Chen Zikun took out a piece of ocean and slapped it on the table and said, "I'm leaving, I'll meet again another day." ”

carried the brandy out of the pachinko room, slipped all the way to the door of the old gate patrol room in the central area of the public concession, opened the wine bottle and poured a few sips, then sprinkled some on the body, found a place to sit down, ripped off the collar and pulled down the brim of the hat, squinted his eyes, pretended to be a drunk, but a pair of eyes were staring at the door of the patrol room.

The shooting of the marchers is the patrol of the old gate patrol room, this stone building is brightly lit, the window is shaking, probably during the day to capture a large number of prisoners are interrogating and trial, the patrol room door stands two Hua arrest and two seal arrest, wearing a hat in the tall Indian Ah San in the red turban looks particularly thin in comparison.

The Laozha patrol house is located in the prosperous area of the concession, even if it is late at night, there are people coming and going, but no one pays attention to a drunk lying in the corner, Chen Zikun has been staring at the door of the patrol room, until about one o'clock in the middle of the night, several familiar faces finally appeared at the door, one of them is Liverpool's hunter, Inspector Locke.

Seeing the appearance of the high-level western fishing, Hua Zhu and Indian Ah San, who had already languished, immediately straightened their waists, raised their hands and saluted, and the white patrolmen casually raised their fingers to their foreheads, and then laughed and laughed out of the patrol room, got into a car with a license plate of the Ministry of Industry and went away.

Chen Zikun got up from the ground, swayed and stopped a rickshaw, threw out the five-cornered small ocean and said, "Go forward." ”

Usually the coachman doesn't like to pull drunks the most, but the first to give money is different, the coachman pulled the car along Nanjing Road all the way forward, Chen Zikun held the wine bottle and stared at the car in front of him, from time to time to direct the driver to adjust the direction, but the rickshaw couldn't run the four-wheeled car after all, and it was lost after a while.

At the same time, in the Jingwu Society, Liu Zhensheng patrolled the student dormitory with a flashlight, he was afraid that the apprentices would do something out of the ordinary on the spur of the moment, so he not only arranged for people to guard the gate, but also personally inspected, fortunately, everyone was very obedient, and no one ran out.

When he walked outside Chen Zikun's room, Liu Zhensheng stepped forward and shone a flashlight, only to see that there seemed to be a person lying on the bed, not moving at all.

It's not quite right, Liu Zhensheng has an extra heart, gently pushes the door, the door is not latched, it opens as soon as he pushes it, and when he walks to the bed, he sees that there is a pillow hidden in the quilt, how can there be the shadow of the fifth junior brother.

Liu Zhensheng frowned deeply.

……

At one o'clock in the morning, Chen Zikun finally came back, he climbed in through the back wall, took off his leather shoes, quietly went upstairs, walked to the door of his room, pushed the door in, quietly closed the door, turned around, startled.

Liu Zhensheng was sitting on the bed solemnly looking at himself, his nose twitched, and he said lightly: "Chen Zhen, you are drinking again." ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "Senior brother, your nose is really smart. ”

Liu Zhensheng sighed: "Chen Zhen, why do you always take my words as a deaf ear, do you think that the Jingwu Association can no longer tolerate you, now there are only two of us senior brothers, you might as well tell the truth, I won't force you to stay." ”

Chen Zikun didn't say a word.

Liu Zhensheng couldn't ask anything, so he had to shake his head and leave.

In the morning, Nong Jinsun came to the Jingwu Club with a copy of the "Declaration", found Liu Zhensheng, put the newspaper on the table, and said angrily: "Xizhu killed two people on the street, injured more than ten people, and there was not a word in the newspaper, could it be that the conscience of the newspaper was eaten by dogs!" ”

Liu Zhensheng picked up the newspaper and quickly browsed it, and sure enough, he didn't see what happened yesterday, he was very nervous and said: "If public opinion doesn't mention this matter, the arrested students will be difficult to save." ”

Nong Jinsun said: "I heard that the concession court is going to try them, and now there is no other way but to hire a good lawyer to try to rescue them." ”

Liu Zhensheng nodded heavily.

Nong Jinsun said: "Zhensheng, do you have something on your mind? Is Chen Zhen making trouble again? ”

Liu Zhensheng said: "The heart of the fifth junior brother is good, but he is used to being wild, and he needs to take care of it, a few days ago he spent his own money to buy hundreds of catties of beef for everyone to improve their lives, but such a big thing happened yesterday, he actually ran out to drink in the middle of the night." ”

Nong Jinsun said: "Is he depressed and borrowing wine to drown his sorrows?" ”

Liu Zhensheng said: "How can you go out in a suit and leather shoes with wine, and drink foreign wine." ”

Nong Jinsun sighed and said: "This Chen Zhen is really not worrying, why don't I talk to him." ”

"It's okay, Xiao Yan, go and call your fifth senior brother." Liu Zhensheng shouted outside.

Situ Xiaoyan agreed, ran out to find Chen Zikun, and came back after a while to report: "Uncle Nong, senior brother, fifth senior brother is out." ”

……

At this moment, Chen Zikun was sitting in the café opposite the patrol room in Laozha, with a cup of coffee and a copy of "Zilin Xibao" on the table, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the patrol room opposite, he was observing the shift change time of the patrol and the work and rest system of the western raiders.

At noon, the sedan appeared at the door of the patrol room last night, and Inspector Locke got out of the car, kissed goodbye to the blonde and blue-eyed girl in the car, and then sorted out the police uniform, and the riding boots sonorously entered the patrol room.

Chen Zikun put down a dollar, went out and got on a bicycle, this car was stolen by him in the French Concession, his feet on the ground as soon as he propped up, the car went out, there was a lot of traffic on the street at noon, the car was very slow, Chen Zikun rode a bicycle to follow it to a European-style building, only to see the foreign girl get off the car, twist her waist and go upstairs, and hang a Russian signboard in front of the building: Petersburg Club.

The car drove away, Chen Zikun left the bicycle on the side of the road and went straight upstairs, but an obscene old Russian man blocked the way and asked in broken Shanghainese, "Sir, which one is Nong looking for?" ”

Chen Zikun also replied in Shanghainese: "Allah comes to be white and white." ”

The old man smiled knowingly, and led him upstairs, in the dim hall, all the furnishings were in Russian style, seven or eight Yanmars with heavy makeup sat on the sofa scratching their heads, and when they saw Chen Zikun coming in, someone immediately flattered him.

The old man stretched out three fingers and shook them: "Three dollars." ”

Chen Zikun sent most of his money to Beijing, and the rest was bought beef, how could there be three yuan on him, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "When you are the eldest three, it is so expensive." As he spoke, he retreated in a hurry, and there was a coquettish and hearty laughter of the big Yanmares behind him.

Out of the Petersburg Club, Chen Zikun was shocked, and suddenly found that across the street was not the pachinko room where Li Yaoting worked.

Walking into the pachinko room, business at noon was not very good, Li Yaoting was wiping the counter diligently, and when he saw Chen Zikun coming in, he said, "You sit first, I'll come to greet you when I'm done." ”

At this time, the door of the pachinko room opened, and a short and fat bald old man walked in, with a very imposing beard, and Li Yaoting hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Petrov." ”

The old man nodded arrogantly, the gold watch chain on his chest was dazzling, Li Yaoting nodded and sent him into the office, and then came to Chen Zikun's side, and said with envious eyes: "This is our boss, Colonel Bairu, but he is rich, if I can get mixed with him one day, I will die blindly." ”

Chen Zikun said: "As far as you are concerned, if you want to mix, you can mix up your personal appearance, what is a big fart and a marbleroom." ”

Li Yaoting said: "Don't you know, the old guy still has an industry outside, he opened a brothel, a white Russian girl, blonde hair and blue eyes and white legs, absolutely tasteful, exclusively for those Europeans far from home in the concession to enjoy, of course, if the Chinese think ** is thick enough, they can also play with money." ”

Chen Zikun heard Jiang Zhiqing tell the story of the brothel in Shanghai, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it a salted meat village?" ”

Li Yaoting said: "You are confused, the salted meat village is the salted meat village, the saltwater sister is the saltwater girl, two different things, besides, these girls of the old man Zhang Luo are not the kind of cheap saltwater girls, the White Russian nobles of Yishui, the young lady of the earl's family, the wife of the general's family, no matter how much money you used to have, the revolution is all over, if you want to say that the Russian Revolution is an old cow, all the former nobles are dead, which is like our Republic of China, the revolution is also like swallowing water." ”

He was talking endlessly, but Chen Zikun thought of something else, and suddenly pulled Li Yaoting to the side and asked in a low voice, "Is it the Petersburg Club opposite?" ”
