The ruffians were furious, slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "Countryman, if you don't give an explanation today, you will smash your restaurant." "Listening to their accents, they are not local hooligans in Shanghai, and they speak with a northern Jiangsu accent.

The boss hugged his arms and sneered: "If you want to say anything, I'll continue." ”

The ruffian said: "Give you two ways to go, the first one, lose money to see a doctor, don't think about opening a store here if you don't take out a thousand or eight hundred." ”

"Hehe, what about the second one?"

"Second, pay Lao Tzu fifteen yuan a month, and mention Lao Tzu's name in the future to ensure your peace." The ruffian pointed to his nose: "My name is hemp skin, and I cover this piece." ”

The boss shrugged, turned his head and shouted, "Tenth Master, there is a protection fee." ”

Liang Maocai smiled: "Tai Sui's head is groundbreaking, and he is impatient." He immediately got up and walked over with his brothers, and a group of tall men surrounded the four ruffians.

Ma Pi was not stunned at all, and said: "Foreigner, just came to Shanghai? ”

"No, it's been half a year since I've been here." Liang Maocai replied.

"I kindly advise you, don't be reckless, the strong dragon won't suppress the head snake yet." Ma Pi was about to leave with his subordinates, but Liang Maocai pressed him back to the bench and said with a cruel smile: "I want to leave before I finish eating, swallow the mouse for me, otherwise I will screw your head off and kick it as a ball!" ”

After a violent beating, the four ruffians were covered in bruises, and a dead mouse was stuffed in the hemp mouth, stumbling out of the door, retching, holding on to the door frame, and his voice was crying: "You wait, there is a kind of report number." ”

Liang Maocai said: "Xiucai, tell him!" ”

Zheng Zeru held his glasses: "We are from the Jingwu Society, and this is Senior Brother Liang, the captain of the cadet." ”

Ma Pi said: "We will have a period later!" After saying that, several people helped each other and left.

……

There are many gangs in Zhabei, whether it is pulling rickshaws, opening restaurants, or opening brothels, they are all inextricably linked with the gangs.

Ma Pi and others are the people of Yanfu in northern Jiangsu, belong to the protégé of Gu Si Lizi of Zhabei Xiang, there are many people in northern Jiangsu who fish for the partial door in Zhabei, among which Gu Zhuxuan is the most famous, he was a patrol in his early years, pulled a rickshaw, was bold and righteous, and liked to be the head of the countrymen, and over time became the leader of the people of northern Jiangsu, known as the tycoon of Jiangbei, and the same name as Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin and others.

The protégé was beaten half to death on his own turf, and he swallowed a dead mouse, after Gu Zhuxuan knew about this, he immediately slapped the table, saying that this revenge is not a gentleman, but being the boss is by no means a wasted name, it is no coincidence that so many restaurants and teahouses of Southern Thai nationality suddenly appeared in Zhabei, and besides, these people are called disciples of the Jingwu Society, which is even more daring to underestimate.

Gu Zhuxuan sent someone to take his business card to Nantai Restaurant, and invited the "Senior Brother Liang" to sit in the Desheng Teahouse he opened, eat and talk about tea, who knew that the other party didn't give face at all, saying that he was not free and would not come.

This annoyed Gu Zhuxuan, even Huang Jinrong didn't dare not give himself face, this gang of Jianglong made it clear that he wanted to grab the territory, and he played hard, he repaired a book, and asked the other party to divide the victory and defeat in the open space around Jiangwan, and this time the other party readily agreed.

It's not that Liang Mao is the big one, but Chen Zikun has made a deployment, the veterans of the anti-smoking corps want to take root in Shanghai, and they have to be famous.

On the day of the battle, seven or eight hundred people from Yanfu led by Gu Zhuxuan came, most of them were rickshaw drivers, as well as dock coolies, etc., and the weapons were mainly axes, clubs, and daggers.

There were not many people from the Nantai Gang, more than 50 people, who drove two trucks, with light machine guns on the front of the cars, a rifle in each hand, and a shell gun pinned to their waists.

Gu Zhuxuan was dumbfounded when he saw this formation, and then looked at the leader of the other party, and turned his worries into joy, strode forward, and said enthusiastically: "Captain Xue, the water has washed the Dragon King Temple." ”

It was Xue Bin who came, he had resigned from his military position, disarmed and returned to the field, Chen Zikun originally wanted to keep him in the army to continue to work, but Xue Bin married the *** of the Chinese and Western Girls' School, and wanted to stay in Shanghai to live, and besides, so many brothers, so many industries, someone had to take care of them, so he still let him be in charge of the affairs of Shanghai.

Gu Zhuxuan understood everything when he saw Xue Bin, co-authoring this group of Nantai cross-river dragons are all brothers of the anti-smoking corps, no wonder they are so horizontal, they are too capitalized, not to mention a mere Gu Zhuxuan, even if Du Yuesheng comes, he has to be polite.

The ending is naturally to shake hands and make peace, no fighting, no acquaintance, Gu Zhuxuan invited a guest to drink, everyone found a restaurant to drink, and during the banquet, he set Xue Bin's words: "Captain, do you plan to take root in Shanghai in the future?" ”

Xue Bin said: "With so many brothers staying in Shanghai, my big brother has to take care of their eating and drinking, right?" They are all people who eat food and become soldiers, and they don't have any capital, opening a small restaurant and pulling a foreign car is better than going home to farm, you say yes, Boss Gu. ”

Gu Zhuxuan said: "That's the truth, this time, it's not right, I'll ask him to make amends to the brothers." ”

Xue Bin said: "Boss Gu is righteous, brother admires, you don't shout back and forth from the captain, just shout my brother, or call me a nickname, when I was in Beijing before, I reported the number Heifeng." ”

Gu Zhuxuan said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out that Brother Xue is still mixed in the road, I don't know if there is a fragrant hall now?" ”

Xue Bin said: "Our Chen Dashuai is a member of the Qing Gang, and those of us who are soldiers are naturally his disciples, my gang is called the Three Guns Club, and we will be mixed in Zhabei in the future, and I ask Brother Gu to take care of it more." ”

Gu Zhuxuan slapped his chest on the ground: "Brother Xue's matter is my Gu Si's business, as long as you can afford to look down on me Gu Si, take off your pants and come." ”

A crisis was resolved, and he also made friends with Gu Zhuxuan, the Three Guns Club and Gu Zhuxuan's business did not constitute a conflict, on the contrary, there was complementarity, Gu Zhuxuan was uneven and ruthless, please Three Guns Club came out and showed the machine gun, no matter how fierce the person was, he had to be soft.

Later, when he got acquainted, Gu Zhuxuan asked Xue Bin: "Brother, why do you want to call the Three Guns Club?" ”

Xue Bin said: "Machine guns, rifles, pistols, isn't it just three guns." ”

……

Since the last time the Hongkou Dojo was played, the fame of the Jingwu Club has become more and more famous, and many young students have come to sign up during the summer vacation, and every morning they can see the students wearing white sweatshirts and black bubble pants lining up from the Jingwu Club and running along Peikaier Road in the morning.

A foreman surnamed Uchida died in the dormitory with a wire around his neck, and a deputy manager surnamed Saito hanged himself in the workshop, both of whom were involved in the atrocities of shooting and beating Chinese workers.

The case was reported to the Concession Patrol House, and the patrols were also at a loss, because the case occurred in Huxi, and after the fifth thirties, the concession authorities lost their jurisdiction, at least they could not openly run to arrest people and investigate the case, but this case was definitely done by Chinese, and without the assistance of the Huajie Police Department, the case could not be solved at all.

It is rumored that the case was done by Chen Zhen of the Jingwu Society, this disciple of Huo Yuanjia, who has no head and tail of the dragon, is now the behind-the-scenes figure of the Jingwu Society, and he is good at martial arts, he can dodge bullets, fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and he has a nose and eyes, and the Zhabei Local Police Department also went to investigate, and when he learned that the owner of the Jingwu Club was Chen Zikun, he immediately politely retreated.

In mid-August, the British and Japanese employers accepted the demands of the CGT to recognize the trade unions, improve the working conditions of the workers, pay half of the wages of the strike in retroactive terms, increase salaries as appropriate, treat female and child workers well, and not dismiss workers without cause in the future. All factories resumed work one after another, and the vigorous May Day Movement finally came to an end.

After the resumption of work in the inner and outer cotton yarn factories, the people of the Hongkou Dojo finally went to the Jingwu Club Kicking Hall, and hundreds of sturdy men wearing kimonos and wooden clogs and carrying wooden knives walked on Peikaier Road, and the pedestrians looked sideways and the patrol officers were dumbfounded.

Jingwu Society, more than 100 disciples are practicing martial arts, Uncle Nong sat in the room and shook his head, looked at the statue of Huo Yuanjia hanging above his head and said: "Yuanjia, I'm sorry for you, what has happened to the Jingwu Society." ”

Looking at the courtyard again, the men with naked upper bodies each have a wooden gun, and the wooden bayonets are flying up and down, and the sound of killing is shocking, so it is not lively.

"The Jingwu Club is a place to learn national arts, but now it has become a military camp, and what are the things that are practiced all day long, alas, let's make trouble, I don't care." Nong Jinsun sighed.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a group of ronins walked in, led by Yanagi Shizuun.

There is not much nonsense, the language communication between the two sides is not smooth, the two gangs of people fight in one place without saying a word, a kicking action turned into a group fight, under the siege of the militarized training of the disciples of the Jingwu Society's spear stabbing technique, the ronins were put down one after another, and finally returned home, fortunately, both sides used wooden knives and wooden guns, and no one died, but a few samurai were seriously injured.

After receiving the report, Commander Xing Shilian immediately dispatched a battalion of military police, seized the Jingwu Society, seized 100 wooden guns and dozens of cold weapons of various types, and arrested Nong Jinsun and more than 10 trainees.

When the news reached Jiangdong Province, Chen Zikun, who was admiring the flowers in the back garden of the Governor's Office, pointed to a flower and said to Yan Su: "Xiao'an, flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, Xing Shilian doesn't even have a good life for a hundred days, and he helped the Japanese to seize the Jingwu Society, I think he is crazy." ”

Yan Su said: "He's not crazy, he's angry, he finally drove us away and took control of Shanghai, but the opium tax can't be collected, can you not be in a hurry, Xing Shilian is not helping the Japanese, he is angry with us." ”

Chen Zikun said: "That's all he has to offer, by the way, does Zhejiang have any response?" ”

Yan Su said: "Sun Chuanfang sent a personal representative, Chen Yi, to meet the marshal, and the person has already arrived, waiting to be summoned at any time." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Please." ”

Half an hour later, Chen Yi came with a smile on her face, and laughed when she met: "Kun Shuai's demeanor is still the same." ”

After greeting for a while, Chen Zikun said, "Brother Chen, I don't know what Envoy Sun thinks about the current situation?" ”

Chen Yi said: "Xin Shuai believes that the time is ripe for expulsion. ”
