Sister Fang, a woman, can have a lot of knowledge, except for observing words and seeing the wind, chewing her tongue behind the rudder and pricking the villain with a needle, she basically has no ability to do it, she really asked her to go to the patrol room to report the murderer and receive a reward, she didn't dare.

The rest of the cooks and maids were even more unbearable than Sister Fang, and they were afraid when they heard the words of the patrol room, and none of them dared to report the news to receive the reward.

Their worries are reasonable, the reward of 3,000 yuan is very high, enough to buy a few lives, those guys in the patrol room eat people and don't spit out bones, and rush to report it, if they don't know that they will be in vain, they can't get the reward, and they will also affect themselves, so this matter must be considered in the long run.

"Cousin Allah is begging for a living at the Sixteen Pu Wharf, and if you know the people on the scene, it's no problem to ask Ira to come forward and keep it." The maid Xiao Tao said that she is from the countryside of Chuansha, and the so-called cousin is actually an idle scoundrel, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, all relying on Xiao Tao to help, but he knows the people of the Axe Gang is real.

A group of girls with long hair and short knowledge finally agreed that Xiao Tao would come forward to find her cousin to handle the matter, and Xiao Tao hurriedly went out and called a rickshaw to go straight to the Sixteen Pu Wharf.

But where near the station wharf, there must be a large number of coolies, the sixteen-shop wharf is a very important passenger and freight hub on the Huangpu River, the daily flow of people is more than 100,000, up and down the goods are countless, a large number of coolie workers make a living from this, there are many hooligans and ruffians mixed in it, Xiao Tao's cousin A Gui is one of them. 、

Coolies and their families live in the low-slung shacks of the quays, known as the Rolling Dragons, to the southwest, and when you walk into the shantytowns, you will be greeted by the smell of bare-bottomed children, wild dogs rummaging around the rubbish heaps, and women lining up in front of the taps with buckets.

Xiao Tao easily found Ah Gui, her cousin was sitting at the door of a grocery store playing mahjong with someone, Ah Gui had a cigarette in his mouth, rolled his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Tao, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Big deal." Xiao Tao took out the reward notice and showed it to him, Ah Gui was so shocked that the cigarettes fell, and hurriedly got up and asked the onlookers to help him play, and then pulled Xiao Tao aside to ask carefully, Xiao Tao proudly told the ins and outs, Ah Gui rubbed his hands excitedly, and led Xiao Tao to the door of a broken house.

There was a sound of hey and hey in the house, Xiao Tao's face was red and her ears were hot, but Agui didn't take it seriously, squatted aside and smoked, and after a while, a black strong man came out with his pants tied, Agui stepped forward and whispered a few words, and the black strong man looked at Xiao Tao and nodded.

This black man is the big boss of the Axe Gang, the Axe Gang is a small branch of the Green Gang, a total of forty or fifty people, relying on the pit and abduction to collect accounts for others to live, in short, what to do with the money, but the strength is limited, has always been a small gang that is not on the table.

After reading the reward notice, the old scar scratched his head, this thing is not easy to do, it is written on it to arrest the murderer and send the person who patrols the house a reward of 3,000 yuan, and the person who provides effective clues will have a reward of 500 yuan, but the fourth road is someone else's territory, if he mobilizes the people to send dozens of brothers to take people, he will definitely cause trouble, and if he goes directly to the patrol room to inform, if there is no reliable middleman, he will not even be able to get the 500 yuan.

Lao Scar has a backer, it is Ye Tianlong of the patrol house of the French Concession, but this case happened on the ground of the British, it is a bit inappropriate to find Ye Tianlong, and the more this kind of thing is involved, the more troublesome it is, the more meat the wolf is spread on the axe gang, and there are not many copper tins.

After thinking about it, Lao Scar finally thought of a suitable middleman, he knew a foreigner who was the captain of the International Business Group, and asked him to take someone to arrest the murderer, and then go to the patrol room to receive the reward, the big deal is 3,000 yuan 21 to add 5, and half of a person is better than not getting a penny.

"Nong saw it clearly, is it the person on the notice?" Scar asked again.

Xiao Tao nodded timidly: "Yes, please Nong, don't bother my husband." ”

"Don't worry, Allah is measured." Lao Scar didn't take Xiao Tao's words to heart, and called a few brothers to go to the riverside to find someone.

……

Four Horse Road, Jianbing Library, a few blood-stained clothes have been washed, neatly folded and placed on the bed, Chen Zikun picked up the handkerchief embroidered with the word Mayling thoughtfully, and suddenly heard an exclamation behind him: "Where are you going?" ”

As soon as he turned around, Jian Bing was standing not far away with a bowl of ginseng soup, and Chen Zikun said, "I should go." ”

"Don't go." Jian Bing put down the ginseng soup, walked over and hugged Chen Zikun's waist from behind, put his face on his back and whispered: "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place of long-term love, I understand your thoughts, you are Jiutian Kunpeng, I can't keep you, but you must at least wait until your injuries heal and the wind subsides before leaving, now there are notices everywhere outside that you are wanted." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I have been missing for so long for no reason, everyone has to worry. ”

Jian Bing said: "Isn't it Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao, their friends of wine and meat, I'll tell them that you are here with me when I go back." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about Li Yaoting, my brother who went to Shanghai with me, I live with him now, and if I don't go back suddenly, he will definitely look for me all over the world." ”

As soon as Chen Zikun mentioned Li Yaoting's name, Jian Bing immediately remembered: "Oh, it's that young man from Beijing, so let's tell me where he is, I'll go find him."

Chen Zikun had no choice but to tell Jianbing Li Yaoting's address.

Jianbing asked Chen Zikun to rest at home, changed into men's clothes, drove Oldsmobile car to the pachinko room, and attracted countless eyes as soon as he entered the door, because Jianbing is so beautiful, even if he wears men's clothes, it is difficult to hide the sense of elegance and peerlessness, but there is a special beauty, which attracts the Chinese and foreigners in the pachinko room to stop the club and look at her blankly.

Li Yaoting immediately recognized Jianbing, his eyes lit up, and he said a little incoherently: "Miss Jianbing, are you here to find me?" ”

"Oh, Mr. Li, yes, I'm here for you." Jianbing's Beijing official dialect has a bit of the glutinous sweetness of Wu Nong's soft language, and the lingering sound makes Li Yaoting's bones crispy.

Since that time when they drank together, Li Yaoting regarded Jianbing as his dream lover and the source of motivation for progress, whenever he encountered setbacks, he warned himself that Xiaoshunzi, you have to work hard and get ahead, so that you can sleep with a stunning woman like Jianbing.

The lover in the dream suddenly came to find him, this is a scene that only appears in fantasy, Li Yaoting stammered excitedly: "I, I, I, I invite you to have a glass of wine." ”

"I'm not here to drink, I'm here to tell you that Chan is there." Jian Bing lowered his voice, and at the same time looked around, those men immediately withdrew their greedy gaze and pretended to hit the ball, but they still peeked at Jian Bing's soft body lines and admired it, obscenely.

"Where is the Big Kunzi there? I've been in a hurry these days. Li Yaoting knew that Jianbing was not here to find him, so he couldn't help but be very disappointed, but finding Chen Zikun's whereabouts made him feel excited, and he also heard about the British patrol being killed, according to his understanding of Chen Zikun, it is almost certain that this thing was done by his brother, Chen Zikun disappeared for several days in a row, Li Yaoting was not lightly anxious, and he searched everywhere but still had no whereabouts, if it wasn't for Jianbing, he would have gone out to continue to search after work.

Jianbing said: "He asked me to tell you, everything is safe, don't worry." ”

"No, I have to go see him, I'm just such a brother." Li Yaoting insisted, Jian Bing had no choice but to take him back, the two had just arrived at the door, and they were looking for someone from the Jingwu Society, Situ Xiaoyan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Li Yaoting at a glance, he immediately ran over and grabbed him and asked, "Is there the whereabouts of the fifth senior brother?" ”

These days, Situ Xiaoyan and others have been looking for Chen Zikun's whereabouts, and they are even more anxious than Li Yaoting, Li Yaoting can't bear to hide her, so he said: "I found it, at Miss Jianbing." ”

Situ Xiaoyan looked at Jian Bing, and saw that this woman was wearing a dress that was a little nondescript, but she was very good-looking, and the woman's intuition told her that this woman was not a good thing, and it was never a good thing for the fifth senior brother to get together with her, so she immediately raised her face and said, "Where did you hide my fifth senior brother?" ”

What kind of person Jian Bing is, how can he not hear the hostility in Situ Xiao's tone, but when he looks at it, he knows that this is a simple girl, and he is definitely not his opponent, so he smiled gently: "Your fifth senior brother was injured and has been recuperating in my house for a few days, if you are not at ease, you might as well go and see it together." ”

"Just go." Situ Xiaoyan said, and beckoned Ouyang Kai, who came with him, and said, "Let's go, let's go together." ”

So, the four of them drove back to the study apartment on the four roads, and when they saw the red lantern hanging at the door of the study room, Situ Xiaoyan's face turned red, it turned out that the rumors were right, the fifth senior brother was really involved with these bad women!

After entering the study room and coming to the door of the bedroom, Jian Bing pushed the door and said, "Zikun, see who I brought here." ”

Chen Zikun was seriously injured, and it was impossible to recover to the point of vitality after only a few days of rest, and he was lying on the bed recuperating at this time, and when he saw Li Yaoting and Situ Xiaoyan and they were coming, he was about to get out of bed to greet him, but he was held down by Jianbing and said softly: "Don't move, be careful of the wound." ”

"They all slept together." Situ Xiaoyan was very unhappy in his heart, the little girl was straight-hearted, and her face immediately showed it, but Ouyang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the fifth uncle has something else to love, and he is not a threat to himself, he was wrong in the past.

Li Yaoting stepped forward quickly, lifted the quilt and looked at it, and was shocked: "Such a serious injury!" ”

Situ Xiaoyan and Ouyang Kai were also dumbfounded, Chen Zikun's body was covered with bandages, and he was covered in bruises.

……

At the same time, a group of merchant infantry dressed in khaki uniforms and carrying bayonets and guns drove to the four roads in trucks, accompanied by a group of people from the Axe Gang, who quietly surrounded the Jianbing Library, and the captain of the one-eyed dragon who led the team took off his sunglasses, took out the glass eyeballs and wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and then returned to his eye sockets, and instructed his subordinates in Russian: "Put on the bayonet." ”

The sturdy soldiers wearing crooked hats took off their four-edged bayonets from their waists and mounted them on the barrels of Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles, and suddenly there was a chill.

The Axe Gang also pulled their axes from their belts to make a big move, but their thin physique and thin yellow faces were extremely obscene in front of the tall and tall members of the White Russian merchant team.

Old Scar flattered: "Captain Andre, don't forget the small one when the time comes." ”

The one-eyed dragon looked at him and said in Chinese, "Are you sure that person's surname is Chen?" ”
