Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wind Shines
The predecessor of the International Chamber of Commerce was the famous foreign gun team, which was composed of foreigners and expatriates in the Shanghai Concession, including the British team, the American team, the Italian team, the Japanese team, the Chinese team, the White Russian team, etc., which was a volunteer militia force, and a non-reserve army, the soldiers were from eighteen to forty years old, and the occupations were even more varied, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, factory owners, compradors, bankers, but the White Russian team was an exception.
After the October Revolution, a cruiser of the Tsarist Russian Far East Fleet stranded in Shanghai was homeless, and the sailors on the ship had no livelihood, so the concession authorities incorporated these sailors and formed the First Russian Brigade, which was used as an emergency force in the merchant group.
Andre. After fleeing from Beijing to Shanghai, Vasilyevich fell in love with this adventurer's paradise in just one day, full of opportunities and encounters, even for a dead White Russian, he soon became acquainted with the captain of the White Russian team of the International Merchant Group, and with his fluency in Chinese and slick communication skills, he obtained the position of deputy captain and interpreter.
The Axe Gang has been eating on the Huangpu River for a long time, and has some friendship with the White Russian sailors, so they asked them for help, and the soldiers of the first team of the White Russian Federation were bored in the barracks, and they heard that there were 3,000 yuan of ocean to find a good thing to come to the door, and they suddenly rushed up, and the whole team was completed in just a few minutes, driving the truck to the four roads.
The GIs had already surrounded the book, and at the command of the commander, these fierce Russian sailors would rush in and do their old business of killing people and setting fires, but Andrei's sixth sense told him that things seemed to be not so simple.
Although Shanghai Beach is mixed, there are many gangs, and there is no fire, but everyone abides by the same unspoken rule, that is, do not touch foreigners, especially foreigners patrolling, that is a ruthless character that cannot be provoked, so this thing must have been done by Jiang Long, Andre even suspected that the murderer was likely to be someone he knew.
So he asked Lao Scar again if the person's surname was Chen.
Old Scar turned to Xiao Tao and asked, "Is it surnamed Chen?" β
Xiao Tao was already stupid by this formation, and nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, it is surnamed Chen." β
Andre asked her kindly, "What does this person look like?" β
Xiao Tao said: "Tall, white face, like a martial artist singing." β
Lao Scar and Ah Gui both secretly spitted, and their hearts said that they were not just little white faces.
Andrei's heart moved.
β¦β¦
In the study room, Sister Fang hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Oh no, the patrol is coming, all foreigners, all with guns!" β
Everyone was shocked, but Jian Bing asked unhurriedly: "What kind of clothing are you wearing, and where did you come from?" β
In Sister Fang's concept, there is no difference between patrolling and merchant groups and authentic foreign soldiers, and she panicked: "Yellow military uniforms, bayonets and guns have surrounded our yard." β
When she said this, Sister Fang pretended to be afraid and worried, in fact, she was secretly proud in her heart, she felt that she had done it too right, not only saved her husband's career, but also made a lot of money, but at present, she still had to pretend not to know, and when the situation calmed down and Mr. repented, it was not too late to tell her slowly.
Jian Bing naturally has some insight, knowing that the patrol is wearing black uniforms and the army is wearing khaki uniforms, and the army is usually not responsible for the internal security of the concession, this matter is a bit strange, but she can't care so much if she has already burned her eyebrows, she asked again: "How many people?" β
Sister Fang exaggerated: "There are hundreds of people, all with guns and long bayonets. β
Chen Zikun knew that he was coming at him, so he stood up and said, "Xiao Shunzi, did my guy bring it?" β
Li Yaoting said sadly: "I came too quickly, I forgot." Then he came to his senses, "Da Kunzi, you still want to fight with them, that's a hundred guns." β
Chen Zikun said awe-inspiringly, "Lao Tzu is not scared, go out and take a look." β
This put aside Sister Fang and went straight out, Jian Bing looked at his back, couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly followed, Li Yaoting, Situ Xiaoyan and Ouyang Kai also followed closely, Sister Fang shouted with a blank eye: "Mr.~~"
Jian Bingtou didn't even look back.
The area around the four roads is prosperous and lively, every inch of land is gold, the houses are not large, Zhejiang-style thirteen head patio courtyards, two floors, Jianbing's bedroom is on the second floor, come out and lie on the window to see, there is really a circle of soldiers outside, all are tall and big foreigners, wearing khaki British military uniforms, wearing cork helmets, holding bayonets on the water bead rifle, not as exaggerated as Sister Fang said, there are hundreds of people, but there are always thirty.
Damn, it's over, Chen Zikun's hands are a little shaky, even if he is covered in iron, he can hit a few nails, and he doesn't have a gun in his hand to fight with others, it seems that he will explain here today with this hundred and ten catties.
was depressed, and suddenly saw a familiar figure below, with sunglasses and a lively look, isn't it the second cabinet of his old man.
Chen Zikun had a plan in his heart, turned around and said solemnly: "Don't move, I'll go out alone." β
"No!" Jian Bing and Situ Xiaoyan shouted at the same time. γ
Li Yaoting also persuaded: "Da Kunzi, don't be reckless." β
"And what can you do?" Chan's piercing gaze swept over them.
There was silence for a while, and everyone knew in their hearts that since the army surrounded this place, it meant that the matter was irreparable.
At this time, the outside began to shout, "Listen, people inside, come out and surrender quickly, or we will shoot." This was followed by the sound of a bolt being pulled.
"Don't shoot, get out." Chen Zikun shouted outside, and was about to go downstairs, when suddenly Jian Bing jumped up and hugged his waist, his eyes flashing.
"Good, go and come back, it'll be fine." Chen Zikun gently stroked Jianbing's hair and said.
Jian Bing's eyes were full of tears, but he still let him go.
Chen Zikun straightened his clothes, looked at Li Yaoting, and said, "If you can't come back, my tie and leather shoes will be given to you." β
Li Yaoting's smile was more ugly than crying: "Your leather shoes are so big, I wear them like a boat." β
Chen Zikun also smiled, and said to Situ Xiaoyan: "Senior brother asked you to come to me." β
Xiao Yan nodded, but didn't speak, for fear that he would cry out as soon as he said it, although the fifth senior brother looked relaxed, everyone knew that he would definitely die if he went.
"Tell Senior Brother that I didn't lose anyone from the Jingwu Society, and I didn't lose anyone from Master." After speaking, Chen Zikun turned to Ouyang Kai again and said, "After I leave, you take care of Xiaoyan more, and don't waste your kung fu." β
Ouyang Kai bit his lip tightly and nodded vigorously, this was the first time he had experienced life and death, and his original dissatisfaction and resentment towards the fifth uncle had turned into gratitude and worship at this time.
Chen Zikun bowed his hand to everyone: "Go some!" The words and expressions were resolute, and there was a sense of wind and cold.
After saying that, he hurriedly went downstairs, and under the frightened eyes of the maid and the cook, he resolutely pushed open the door of the study room and stood in the sun.
Andre. Vasilyevich scolded in his heart: Sure enough, it's you kid, make trouble for me!
This matter is a bit of a headache, because Andrei has only been in Shanghai for half a year, and he is also a newcomer in the White Russian team. Petrovich made a decision, and the arrest of the murderer was a collective action, and it was not for him Andrei to be the master alone, so it was also a little difficult to cover Chen Zikun.
Andre waved his hand with a tiger face: "Take it away!" β
Two soldiers stepped forward to hold Chen Zikun on the left and right and were about to drag him into the car, but he threw him away and shouted, "I will go by myself." β
The White Russian sailors were furious and raised their Mosin Nagant rifles and were about to smash them, but they were stopped by Andrei: "Stop, this is a gentleman, give him the respect he deserves." β
The soldier flattened his rifle and escorted Chen Zikun to the car with a bayonet, when suddenly Jian Bing ran out and shouted, "Don't arrest him!" But he was held by Sister Fang and others, and could only hold on to the door frame and stare at Chen Zikun's back with red eyes.
AndrΓ© put the heels of his riding boots together, raised his two fingers to the brim of his hat and said: "Dear lady, I assure you that this gentleman will receive a fair trial, and if he is innocent, I will personally send him back." β
Then he turned and left, leaving a loud sound in his riding boots, and the soldiers of the White Russian team also left in their group, and the Axe Gang happily followed all the way to the patrol house, waiting to get their share of the reward.
After the people were gone, there was only a helpless little peach left, Jian Bing suddenly understood, it turned out that there was an inner ghost informant, and her face sank.
β¦β¦
In the back seat of the car, Chen Zikun and Andre sat side by side, Andre took out two cigars, put them under his nose and sniffed them, handed him one and said, "Luzon cigars, taste them." β
Chen Zikun took it and bit off the round head, lit it with Andre's match, Meimei took a sip, and praised: "The second cabinet of your old man is a good mix, you can eat everywhere you go." β
Andrei said: "The Russian team is the mercenaries of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, I'm just eating a mouthful, and by the way, trying to develop, by the way, did you kill those two Brits?" β
Chen Zikun replied with a big grin: "Looking at the beach, except for Lao Tzu, who has the courage to do this?" β
Andre said: "I think it's because you're so stupid, things are earth-shattering, don't expect me to save you." β
Chen Zikun said: "Love can't save it, give me two guns, and I'll kill it myself." β
Andre said: "Pull it down, you still want to get me in, there is no door, I ask you, when you killed, who saw it?" β
Chan thought for a moment and said, "When I entered the door, no one could see my face clearly, but there was a Russian prostitute named Natasha present when I was killing. β
Andrei nodded: "Got it." β
They talked in a mix of gangster cuts and Russian and French, and the driver and guard in the front seat could not understand at all, so they came all the way to the camp of the Russian team of the International Merchant Regiment, and the sentry moved away from the horse and let the vehicle in, and then picked up his rifle to stop the axe gang following behind.
Old Scar understands that these old hairy people want to eat alone.
"Book that, black eats black and eats on Lao Tzu's head, let's see." The old scar spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm viciously, took Agui and the others away, went straight to the Laozha patrol room, walked in with a shy face, found a small leader of the West Hunt, took out the reward notice and nodded and said, "Sir, Alla is here to tell the truth." β
