Saying that they would withdraw, Chen Qimei and the others immediately closed the door of the Tianbao Inn, and prepared to take away some very important Wen Jiàn of the Alliance, and the others also went back to their rooms to pack their bags, and waited until late at night to secretly evacuate while people were not paying attention.

After cleaning up all kinds of texts, Chen Qimei sat at the table in the room and lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought, there was another person in the room, Liu Fubiao, he saw Chen Qimei like this and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you want?" ”

"Oh?" Chen Qimei came back to her senses, took a puff of cigarette, got up and went to the door, opened the door and took a look, and found that there was no one outside the door, so she closed the door again and walked over and sat down and said, "Brother Liu, I wonder if we should send someone to find those two high-rollers?" Do you think that these two men can kill eight British GIs with guns in such a short time, what kind of skill is this? If we can recruit these two men to our command, we will add two great benefits to our revolutionary cause. Brother Liu, think about it, we have held so many uprisings in the past two years, and each time we have been suppressed by the Qing court, we have been tracked by Qing court spies everywhere, I thought about it for a long time and finally let me think of the reason, on the one hand, because we have different opinions within the alliance, and there are big problems in secrecy before acting, on the other hand, we have no own force, this time Brother Jinsun and I invited Master Huo and his apprentice to come over and fight with the British Hercules Obiyin is just a cover, The real reason is that we want to set up a martial arts organization to train anti-Qing forces, Master Huo is the head coach of this martial arts organization, in terms of kung fu training, there is Master Huo is almost the same, but in terms of firearms and military, we don't have any outstanding talents, and those two people were able to snatch the rifles of British soldiers empty-handed, and shot six people, and the guns all hit the vital point, this kind of accurate marksmanship and military quality zhì is absolutely extremely rare, where can we find such talents with lanterns? Now the opportunity has come, as long as we find these two people, I am confident that I will persuade them to join us and join the ranks of the anti-Qing cause with my incorruptible tongue! ”

Liu Fubiao listened to Chen Qimei's words, nodded and said: "I understand, I support your idea, but I want to mobilize all the forces of our Shanghai Youth Gang to find these two, and I can only go to find my old man, if he agrees, I think it will be a matter of time before I find those two people!" ”

Chen Qi stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for, go find your old man now!" ”

Liu Fubiao hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, martial law is on the street now, it's not too late for us to go late at night!" ”

After Liu Fubiao's reminder, Chen Qimei knew that she was a little anxious, so she sat down and said, "It's okay, then we'll evacuate late at night and then go!" ”

…….

The western section of Baochang Road.

Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang have been in this uninhabited house for nearly an hour, and the table in the room on the second floor is full of two piles of duck bones and some scraps, and a jar of Huadiao wine has bottomed out.

Ma Xiaoshuang burped and said with a bulging belly: "Brother Zhenlei, since I was sensible, I have never eaten enough, tonight's meal is the fullest meal I have eaten in my life, even if I am allowed to die now, it is worth it!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei listened to Ma Xiaoshuang's words, and felt a little sour in his heart, how many sins should have been done by this Qing court, a farmer who farmed the land had never eaten enough in his life, is there any reason for this? It is really strange that such a court is not overthrown.

Reluctantly showing a smiling face, Xiao Zhenlei comforted: "Xiaoshuang, don't worry, as long as you follow my brother, my brother will never let you go hungry again!" In the future, my brother will be responsible for eating and dressing! ”

Ma Xiaoshuang hurriedly said, "Brother Zhenlei, how can this work?" You're going to make money to marry a daughter-in-law, how can I use your money? ”

Xiao Zhenlei's eyes widened: "Why not?" After that, you will work with me, and I will pay you for your wages, and you will be fed and clothed, and that's it! It's too big for us to do this tonight, it is estimated that the foreigners will definitely go crazy to find us during this time, so we have to go back to the dock to work during this time, as usual, you take the money for your work, and the food and clothing are mine, since you do it with me, I have to take care of you, just now I killed the two foreign soldiers standing guard and found some money from them, these foreign devils are really rich, there are ten oceans and thirty-two pounds on the two of them! ”

Ma Xiaoshuang said in surprise: "Brother Zhenlei, ten oceans? So much money, this money can marry a daughter-in-law, what is the pound? ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "The pound is the money used by the English foreigners, and it is much more valuable than the ocean, and when the wind is not so tight, I will go and exchange the pound for the ocean, and you will be frightened with your brother, and when you see that you have a share, my brother will share half of you."

According to the exchange rate in 1909, 1 pound could be exchanged for about 4 US dollars, and 1 US dollar could be exchanged for about 2.5 silver dollars, which means that 1 pound could be exchanged for 10 silver dollars. Thirty-two pounds sterling is three hundred and twenty oceans, although Xiao Zhenlei does not know the exchange rate of this matter, he also knows that this money is definitely a huge wealth compared to ordinary people.

Everyone likes money, and Ma Xiaoshuang is no exception, but he also knows that he has nothing to do in this matter tonight, and he can't take money, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhenlei, since you asked me to do it with you, I will do it with you, but I can't ask you for this money!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei saw that Ma Xiaoshuang was extremely serious, so he had to agree: "Okay, Xiaoshuang, when you are short of money, tell my brother, brother will give it to you!" ”

While talking, there was a sudden noise outside, noisy, Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang heard it at the same time, their faces changed, Xiao Zhenlei immediately got up from the stool and took three steps and walked to the window to look outside, only to see many torches lit up in the east, but countless officials and catchers were searching from house to house.

"It's not good, it's coming so fast, the officials and the catchers have already searched here, Xiaoshuang, turn off the lights!" After Xiao Zhenlei found out about the situation, he immediately turned his head and said to Ma Xiaoshuang, who was looking at him.

"Oh, good!" Ma Xiaoshuang immediately walked to the door and turned off the light switch, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

After observing for a while, Xiao Zhenlei found that those officials and catchers had searched the third house in the east, that is to say, as long as they searched two more yards, they would search this house, Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Xiaoshuang, we can't seem to hide, those officials and catchers don't care if there are people in the searched place, they all smashed open the courtyard door and went in to search, it seems that we can only pretend to be the owner of this courtyard, from now on you are the subordinate of this courtyard, I am the master here, let's put on a good show for them, When they call the door, you go down and open the door, don't panic, I'm right behind you, you don't say anything they ask, I'll deal with it, understand? ”

Ma Xiaoshuang was a little scared, "Brother Zhenlei, nothing will happen, right?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, as long as you don't be afraid, just pretend to be a subordinate and open the door, I'll deal with it, I'll deal with it now, I'll go change my clothes now, you clean up the table, don't let them see the flaws when they come up to search!" ”

"Okay, okay!" Ma Xiaoshuang agreed, hurriedly cleaned up the scraps on the table, and Xiao Zhenlei walked to the next wardrobe to look for clothes, looking at the situation of the family, the economic conditions should be good, Xiao Zhenlei quickly found a set of horse coats and robes in the wardrobe to change into, and took a rich man's hat to put on, and took a look in front of the mirror, it was really like that, and instantly became a rich man's appearance, throwing the braid to the back of his head When he returned to the room over there, Ma Xiaoshuang had already cleaned up.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the yard, and then I heard the yards being hammered, "Open the door, open the door, open the door!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei stood under the eaves of the house and shouted outside the courtyard: "Who is it?" ”

A voice came from outside the door: "The government is on business, open the door quickly, if you don't open the door, you will slam the door!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head at Ma Xiaoshuang when he heard this, Ma Xiaoshuang nodded and shouted, "Come on, don't knock, if you knock on the door again, it will be broken!" So saying, he walked briskly over and opened the courtyard.

As soon as the courtyard was opened, a dozen officials and catchers outside rushed in in two columns, some of them hanging their waist knives, some of them holding spears, and others holding rifles, and the weapons were varied.

"Eh, all officials, what's wrong, why is there such a big formation, what's going on?" Xiao Zhenlei saw the officials of the catcher break in, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted a person who looked like a head catcher and asked.

The catcher looked at Xiao Zhenlei and asked, "You are the master here?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the contemptible Li Decai, who is the owner of this courtyard, is the contemptible subordinate over there." What's going on, my lord? We are good citizens, why did so many officers and soldiers suddenly break in? ”

"Li Decai? Tonight, two people killed eight foreigners and escaped, and I was ordered to search all parts of the county" The catcher continued to look at Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang, and then beckoned to a person next to him: "Flip through the household registration and check if the name of the owner of this house is Li Decai!" ”

"Yes, Zhang Zhutou!" The man said yes and immediately began to look through the household register.

Xiao Zhenlei secretly wiped a cold sweat, and was glad in his heart, fortunately he rummaged through the drawer in the room just now for insurance, and took a look at the title deed hidden by the master's house, otherwise it would be a big trouble at this time.

"Zhang Zhutou, the name of the owner of this house is indeed Li Decai, and he is twenty-eight years old this year!"

The head catcher looked at Xiao Zhenlei's face and muttered, "It seems to be a little younger!" ”

"Hehe, I trust you with good words, I trust you with good words!" Xiao Zhenlei looked like he was being praised by others, and suddenly saw that the officials had broken into the house and rummaged around, so he hurriedly showed an anxious look, took out three pieces of ocean from his sleeve and secretly stuffed them into Zhang Putou's hand and said: "Lord Zhang, please let the brothers be light, don't damage the furniture, the contemptible people are a kind family, how dare you take in those murderous bandits!" ”

Zhang Zhutou touched the ocean in his hand, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying that this guy is quite sensible, and he was afraid that we would break the furniture before stuffing the money, well, he didn't embarrass him, and after collecting the money without a trace, he said loudly: "Inside, have you found it?" ”

Those officials and catchers just went in to search, where did they find anything? Hearing Zhang Zhutou's question, he agreed to it, Zhang Zhutou immediately said: "Okay, okay, since we haven't found it, we will evacuate, let's go to the next one, I don't know when we will search tonight, hurry up!" ”

This group of officers and soldiers came as they said, and they left as they said, and they didn't stay here for a total of two minutes before turning around and going to the next house, after closing the courtyard door, Ma Xiaoshuang had already collapsed and sat on the ground because of fear, and Xiao Zhenlei was also secretly relieved.
