Chapter 13: The Black Cauldron

Chen Qimei's status in the alliance is not low, among the giants of the revolutionary party, compared with Huang Xin, Song Jiaoren, Wang Jinwei, Hu Hanmin and others, Chen Qimei's qualifications are relatively shallow, he participated in the alliance for a shorter time than these people, the reason why he achieved a higher status, on the one hand, he resolutely supports Sun Wen, on the other hand, his own ability is very strong, he is capable and daring, which is due to his long-term business experience in the early years, and he has honed and enriched his life experience in the business world, which is also an experience that these alliance giants do not have.

As soon as Huang Jingrong heard that this person was Chen Qimei, one of the giants of the Alliance, and also Fan Gaotou's sworn brother, the big man in the Qing Gang, he was immediately impressed, and he was also very respectful, and hurriedly clasped his fists again and saluted: "It turned out that Mr. Chen was in front of him, Jingrong actually had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, forgive his sins!" ”

Although Chen Qimei has a very high rank in the Green Gang, the social status of the people in the Green Gang does not necessarily depend on the generation, some of them are mixed well, and the seniority is not high, for example, Du Yuesheng later sat on an equal footing with Huang Jingrong, he was just a general-character generation, at that time there were still many big-character characters in Shanghai, and now at this time, there were still thirty-nine big-character Qinggang bigwigs, and after 1919, there was only Zhang Renkui left in the Lizi generation, and there were only seventeen left.

Chen Qimei still wants to ask Huang Jingrong for help, he doesn't think that his seniority is high, so he can put up a stand in front of Huang Jingrong, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Fan Gaotou waved his hand next to him and said: "Don't be polite to each other, Jingrong, I came to you this time because I came to you for an important matter, and you know about arresting people everywhere in the Public Concession, right?" McGowan's foreign devil thought that the people who killed the eight foreign soldiers were the people of Ince, and forced Ince to hand over people, and if he didn't hand over people, he sent patrols to arrest the revolutionary party on a large scale, even I suffered heavy losses, many shops were sealed, and if this continues, my old man's coffin will have to be compensated, and I came to you today to let you come forward to talk to the leaders of the public concession to make peace, this thing is really not done by the people of Ince, they can't keep staring at the revolutionary party! ”

Huang Jingrong listened to Fan Gaotou's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, do you really think those foreign devils treat me as a terrible character? They just used me to help them manage the gang in the concession, maintain law and order in the concession, and let me go to them to make peace, can those foreign devils give me face? Don't be funny!

Although he thought so in his heart, but there was another rhetoric on his lips, Huang Jingrong scratched his scalp and looked at Chen Qimei and said, "Mr. Chen, this is really not done by your revolutionary party?" ”

Chen Qimei shook her head and said: "Boss Huang should know that the task of our revolutionary party now is to oppose the Qing Dynasty, not to get along with the foreigners, and in the case of the anti-Qing Dynasty, if we offend the foreigners again, can we still stay on the territory of the foreigners?" We're not that stupid, are we? ”

Huang Jingrong nodded in approval of Chen Qimei's statement, thought for a while and said: "Old man, Mr. Chen, everyone is their own person, I won't hide it when I speak, I'll tell the truth, this matter, it's useless for you to ask me to make peace, the foreigners now believe that you did it, that is, you did it, you just want to say that it's not useless, because you can't produce evidence, but I have a solution to this matter, just spend some money to dredge up the relationship!" ”

Fan Gaotou and Chen Qimei glanced at each other, and Chen Qimei asked, "I don't know how much money Boss Huang needs to dredge up the relationship?" ”

Huang Jingrong stretched out two fingers, and Chen Qimei asked, "Two thousand oceans?" ”

Huang Jingrong shook his head and said, "Twenty thousand!" ”

20,000 oceans is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Chen Qimei now, most of the revolutionary funds of the League rely on Sun Wen and others to raise donations from overseas Chinese, and there is no financial source of his own, it is conceivable that Chen Qimei is not very rich, and when he heard that he wanted so much money, his face turned pale.

Fan Gaotou also frowned, the three of them didn't speak for a while, and after a few minutes of silence in the room, Fan Gaotou spoke: "I'll pay this money, Jingrong, as long as you do this thing beautifully, even if my old man owes you a favor!" ”

How dare Huang Jingrong lead Fan Gaotou's favor, honoring him and doing things for him is what Huang Jingrong, a junior, should do, if people know, what do people think of him Huang Jingrong? Boss Huang's abacus can be said to be skillful, his purpose is not to ask Fan Gaotou to owe him love, he can't stand it, he wants Chen Qimei to owe him love! He hurriedly said, "How can I let you pay this money?" Well, I'd like to figure it out, but it's not ...... hard thing to do."

Speaking of this, how could Chen Qimei not understand what Huang Jingrong meant, he arched his hand and said: "Boss Huang, Qimei doesn't have so much money now, and I have to rely on Boss Huang to maneuver one or two from it, so that this matter is successfully resolved, I, Chen Yingshi, promise that after our revolution is successful, I will not forget Boss Huang's contribution today, and I will report in detail to Mr. Zhongshan what Boss Huang has done for us!" The new government will inevitably have a place for Boss Huang."

Huang Jingrong was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly said in his mouth: "It's serious, it's serious, Mr. Chen, let's look at my Huang's methods!" ”

That night, the French Concession Bali. A large number of legal arrest houses came near the bridge road, and these patrols soon surrounded a house on the side of the road, among the patrols, Huang Jingrong and Huang boss were impressively listed, and the operation was personally led by the French Concession Police Director Mai Lan.

It turned out that Boss Huang got the news that the two murderers who killed six British GIs, a British detective and an Indian patrol in the Public Concession were hiding in a private house near Baliqiao Road. Du Yuesheng is the screenwriter, he is the director, his wife Lin Guisheng is the chief planner and producer, and the two leading actors are the substitutes he bought for the dead ghosts at a great price.

Who is Cao Zhensheng? This person is amazing, he was an early French student, and almost every student in the early Qing Dynasty was an upper-class figure in the Republic of China period later. Cao Zhensheng's status in the French Concession is comparable to that of Golden Glory; There is a so-called saying in the legal world that there is one article and one martial arts, the one who writes is Cao Zhensheng, and the one who is martial is Huang Jinrong. Huang Cao's two families both eat foreigners' official meals, and they usually come and go very diligently, which can be said to be a good family.

Although Huang Jingrong could eat well in Shanghai, he could not talk directly to the top management of the concession, so he approached Cao Zhensheng and said that he had learned the location of the murderer, and asked Cao Zhensheng to act as an intermediary to communicate with the police commissioner, Mai Lan. When Mai Lan learned the news, he immediately met with Huang Jingrong, and then organized the French Concession patrol to rush to Baliqiao Road to round up the murderer.

Under the command of Director Mai Lan, the patrol houses rushed into the house, and it didn't take long for a crackling gunfire to come from the house, and the shootout lasted for five or six minutes before stopping, and soon after, the patrols carried five corpses out, two of which were the bodies of the murderer and gangster, the other three were the bodies of the patrol, and three were shot and wounded.

Boss Huang made full preparations this time, in his opinion, acting is to play a full set, to play without leaving any flaws, the patrols found two rifles and a ** in the house afterwards, and some bullets, these were snatched by the murderers that night, Boss Huang as the patrol room of the French Concession, there are many eyes and ears in Shanghai, and it is easy to inquire about the details of that night, so the details are very good, even the height and body shape and back of the two murderers who were killed are very similar to those in the newspaper, When the Public Concession Police received the two bodies and the stolen guns from the French Concession Police Office, they immediately closed the case.

In fact, they can't help but close the case, the above consul general in Shanghai Fa Leishi calls several times a day to urge the case to be solved, to put pressure on the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the police department is really unable to hold on, and now the French Concession has helped solve the case, and the height and back of the murderer's body are very similar to the photos taken by the reporter in the park that night, almost it can be proved that the two people who were killed were the murderers that night, and these two people were killed before they were also in a shootout with the French Concession patrol for five or six minutes. This is a testament to the fact that the murderer is a master of marksmanship, and although there are still some doubts, the inspector general of the police department, Bruce, has no time to confirm the evidence, because if the case is not closed, he will be covered and gone.

This incident can be said to be a great joy for people in several aspects, the bigwigs of the police department of the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry were saved from being removed from their posts because they solved the case in time, the patrol room of the French Concession Police Department had a lot of face in front of the British, and Huang Jingrong, the "expert in solving the case", once again proved his ability in front of the foreigners, so the foreigners relied on him more, and the League was no longer hostile to the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Public Concession because of this matter, and the arrested revolutionaries were released from prison and could move freely on rental.

As for the real parties Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang, when Xiao Zhenlei saw the report in the newspaper that the "two murderers" were killed by the patrols in a private house near Baliqiao Road in the French Concession, he couldn't cry or laugh, he had to admire the brain of Boss Huang, he couldn't catch the real murderer, and he wanted to show his face in front of foreigners, and finally had to find a substitute for the dead ghost to solve the case.

After listening to Xiao Zhenlei's reading of the contents of the newspaper, Ma Xiaoshuang asked, "Brother, so this matter is over?" Don't we have to worry about it anymore? ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and said: "This matter is not so simple, maybe the public concession authorities don't know the inside story, but the boss Huang who directed this farce must know it, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's still be careful, from now on we can't mention that incident in front of anyone, as if nothing happened, you know?" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
