Chapter 125: Inquiry

"The specific losses are still being counted, but the news that all the secret strongholds in the Chinese realm have been destroyed has been confirmed, and now only the five extremely secret strongholds in the concession have not been discovered, the brothers are dead, those who are caught are arrested, how many people have been arrested, how many people have died, and how many people have escaped, it is not very clear!"

Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing's faces changed suddenly when they heard this, this news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time when they heard it.

Zhu Baosan was a little puzzled and said: "Yesterday evening, I was still eating and listening to music with Cai Naihuang and others, and I didn't hear any rumors, how could such a thing suddenly happen?" “

Yu Qiaqing also said: "I was also having dinner with Li Xiumei and others yesterday, and I didn't hear any news, and there has been no movement from the county government, so this matter is strange, besides, if there is a move in the patrol battalion, it is impossible to do it without the permission of Li Xiumei and Cai Naihuang, this matter is strange!" ”

After the question was spoken, the three of them had no answer, and no one knew what the mystery was, and the three of them didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, Yu Qiaqing spoke, "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to sigh again, it seems that Yingshi, you will act more restrained in the future, don't be so public, every qiē must be done in secret, otherwise how will we explain to him when Mr. Sun comes back?" Now let's still think about how to find out the specific losses, to see how many brothers were captured by the Qing court, locked up in ~ where , and how to try to rescue is the top priority! ”

Compared with Chen Qimei, Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing are undoubtedly much calmer and more sophisticated in the face of major events, after all, they are a lot older. There are many more things to experience than Chen Qimei, who is only thirty years old, if it were not for the fact that they were developed by Chen Qimei. The seniority in the revolutionary party is shallow than Chen Qimei, and the person in charge should be one of them.

Zhu Baosan nodded and said, "That's a good point. Ince how do you see it going? ”

Chen Qimei was in a clear spirit, thought for a while and said: "In this way, I am more familiar with the people and things on the road, I will go to the road to inquire and see if there is any news, there are two elder brothers on the official side!" We'll meet here tomorrow night, what do you two brothers think? ”

Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing were silent for a moment when they heard this, the two glanced at each other and nodded. Yu Qiaqing said: "Okay, it's decided here, Ince, you have to do your best to contact the lost brothers, gather them secretly, on the one hand, count how many brothers we have, and on the other hand, also cheer them up, since you have embarked on this road, losses are inevitable." Let them not be pessimistic, turn pessimism into strength and continue to fight with the Qing court, and besides, I think you should call Mr. Sun in Citigroup to inform him of this. Let him have a bottom in his heart, what do you think? ”

When Chen Qimei heard this, she felt that Boss Yu was more thoughtful, and there was nothing wrong with it. Especially to report this matter to Boss Sun, you must do your best. If it would be too late to wait for others to report to Boss Sun first, he said: "Brother Ade is right. I'll do my best! ”

After everyone dispersed, Chen Qimei went to Liu Fubiao to inquire about the news on the road, and she went to the Great Northern Telegraph Company to report the situation to Boss Sun in the United States.

Zhu Baosan and Yu Qiaqing went to Daotai Mansion and Zhixian Yamen respectively to see if they could get some news, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the two met again, but they did not hear any news, so the two can be sure that last night's arrest operation was not deployed by Daotai Mansion and Zhixian Yamen, and the officials of the two official governments did not go out, so the only possibility is that the Qing army patrol battalion in Shanghai did it.

At this time, the Qing army had five patrol battalions stationed in Shanghai, and a man named Jiang Guoliang was the commander and chief officer of Wusong Fort. If the patrol battalion wanted to attack the revolutionary party, it would not be able to bypass Jiang Guoliang no matter what, so the two decided to use Jiang Guoliang's tricks.

But how do you get started? Boss Zhu and Boss Yu have no friendship with Jiang Guoliang, and they don't know each other, so it's strange that they don't come to the door to talk so rashly, and they are not arrested as a revolutionary party.

After some hard work, the two learned that there was a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the Shanghai Chinese Chamber of Commerce, a businessman surnamed Yang, who had a good relationship with Jiang Guoliang, and this businessman surnamed Yang also had a relationship with a Guizhou businessman named Zhou Nanhe, Zhou Nanhe was Jiang Guoliang's fellow villager in Guizhou, Zhou Nanhe and Jiang Guoliang had frequent contacts on weekdays, and the relationship was very unusual.

In order to inquire about the news, Boss Zhu and Boss Yu immediately hosted a banquet for businessmen surnamed Yang and Zhou Nanhe at Noon the next day in Deyue Tower. The two of them are the representatives of Chinese businessmen in Shanghai, and they are the leaders of the Ningbo Zhejiang Gang businessmen are very appealing in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce at this time, compared to Boss Zhu and Boss Yu, the business of the businessman surnamed Yang and Zhou Nanhe is much smaller, if you can get into a relationship with Boss Zhu and Boss Yu, then wouldn't it be smooth sailing in the business field and make a fortune in the future? The businessman surnamed Yang and Zhou Nanhe happily went after receiving the invitation.

"Come on, come on, Brother Bao, Brother Qia Qing, my Lao Zhou will toast you again, I'll do it first, you are free, feel free, hahaha!" Although it was Boss Zhu and Boss Yu who invited those two people to feast, they also intended to make friends with Boss Zhu and Boss Yu, so they saluted Boss Zhu and Boss Yu as soon as they took their wine glasses on the table.

Boss Zhu and Boss Yu also wanted to rely on them to inquire about the news, and when they saw that the two of them took turns to toast, they did not refuse, and they all took it, and after three rounds of drinking, the businessman surnamed Yang and Zhou Nanhe were a little dizzy.

Boss Zhu and Boss Yu glanced at each other when they saw this, and it seemed that the time had come, so Boss Zhu pulled out the topic: "Have you heard?" Yesterday, the patrol battalion attacked the revolutionaries and arrested many people, and I don't know if this news is true! ”

Boss Zhu said this purely to explore the way, with the attitude of giving it a try, if the two of them knew about it, they would be able to help but say it at the wine table, but if the two of them didn't know at all, they would either chase the tail or listen to it.

Sure enough, Zhou Nanhe was drunk when he heard the words, and began to speak freely: "When, of course it's true, I know this, Commander Jiang of the patrol battalion is my fellow villager, I went to visit him last night, we were talking, and a person came in the middle with a sign of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, I am not an official person, so I can only avoid it, hide in the room and listen to them talk about the arrest of the revolutionary party, the official authority of the people from Nanjing, Commander Jiang can only obediently follow the sign when he sees it, and issue an order to sign, Let the 3rd Patrol Battalion obey the command of the man from Nanjing to arrest the revolutionary party, and I don't know much about what happened later! ”

Why is it not clear later? Boss Zhu and Boss Yu listened to half of it, but there was no follow-up, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, these were all shown on their faces, but they didn't know that they were seen by Boss Yang, Boss Yang is a businessman, who has been mixed in the mall for many years, so he will naturally observe words and looks, and when he sees Boss Zhu's reaction, he knows that this matter is not simple, and then he connects them to the banquet with Zhou Nanhe, and the answer is about to come out.

Boss Yang's eyes rolled a few times, then he kept silent, and only raised his wine glass to toast to Boss Zhu and Boss Yu, where did they still have the heart to drink, they just coped with things. The two heard Zhou Nanhe's words in their hearts, but they didn't know how many people were arrested, how was it now, dead or alive? If they are still alive, where are they being held? This is what they are in a hurry to figure out.

At the end of the banquet, Zhou Nanhe was already drunk, and he was afraid that he would not be able to put something out of his mouth again, but Boss Yang kept his mouth shut, Boss Zhu and Boss Yu glanced at each other, it seems that this matter has to be worked on from Boss Yang and Zhou Nanhe.

Let the shopkeeper of the restaurant hang the money on his account, Boss Zhu and Boss Yu sent Zhou Nanhe and Boss Yang out of the restaurant, Zhou Nanhe was already drunk, and his coachman helped him into the carriage and left, but Boss Yang didn't, he saw that Boss Zhu and Boss Yu were about to get in the carriage and leave, and immediately shouted: "Brother Bao, Brother Qia Qing, please stay!" ”

The two stood still and turned around, and Boss Zhu asked, "Boss Yang, what's the matter?" Haven't you drunk it yet? ”

"Hahaha, no, no! Yang still has a few words to say to the two brothers, how about giving me a ride? ”

Boss Zhu and Boss Yu glanced at each other, not knowing what this Boss Yang meant, Boss Zhu nodded and smiled: "Of course, Boss Yang, please get in the car!" ”

Boss Yang instructed his coachman to follow behind with the carriage, then turned around and got into Boss Zhu's carriage, while Boss Yu got into his own carriage.

After the carriage walked for a while, Boss Yang spoke: "Boss Zhu, I saw during the banquet just now, the two brothers invited me and Brother Zhou to the banquet today, I'm afraid it's not just to make friends with us, right?" Is it related to the arrest of the revolutionary party by the patrol battalion? ”

Boss Zhu chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and only said that it was not good, but this guy saw the clue, his mind spun quickly, and he understood after looking at Boss Yang's expression, if this Boss Yang wants to tell the truth, he is afraid that he will not stay and talk to him alone, there must be some purpose.

After getting this conclusion, Boss Zhu immediately pretended to sigh and said: "Boss Yang is an understanding person, brother, I won't hide it from you, in the process of arresting the revolutionary party in the patrol camp yesterday, I have a distant nephew who suffered an unwarranted disaster and was arrested as a revolutionary party, I heard that Boss Yang and Boss Zhou have a good relationship with Jiang Guoliang, the commander of the patrol battalion, so I invite you to ask how my distant nephew is now, where he is being held, if possible, is there a way to get people out!"
