"Brother Zhenlei? Why do you give that foreign devil such a high salary? 200 taels, I've never seen so much money in my life! ”

Ma Xiaoshuang was very puzzled and dissatisfied with Xiao Zhenlei's statement that he would pay Fast a salary of 200 taels a month, and he thought that Fast did not deserve so much money.

Xiao Zhenlei explained with a smile: "Xiaoshuang, this Fast is really not worth my salary of 200 taels per month now, but we have to make long-term plans, he is the worst mixed with foreigners, and he can't speak in the Ministry of Industry Bureau and the Public Concession, but I don't like this, I fancy his skin, the skin of foreigners!" No matter what we do in the future, as long as we pull him up, the officials of the imperial court and the gang members of this big Shanghai will not dare to do anything to us! ”

The reason why the people of the Green Gang dared to arrest Fast in the past was because Fast owed them usury, killed people to pay for their lives, and repaid debts, which was justified, even if Fast went to the court or consulate to file a complaint, he would not be able to win the lawsuit. But if Fast doesn't have any handle for people to catch, which Qing officials and gangs would dare to do something to a foreigner?

Ma Xiaoshuang is not stupid, as soon as Xiao Zhenlei said this, he quickly understood the role of Fast, and said continuously: "I understand, I understand, brother, or you are thoughtful, if we sell that batch of goods, there must be a lot of money, and with foreigners in front of us, others will not dare to beat our idea, right?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled and nodded: "That's pretty much what it means!" ”

"Brother, what am I going to do now?"

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Go back to the place where you live in the county and clean up your things, go to the landlord today to return the house, and then go to the newly bought house, clean up the yard and the inside and outside of the house, and we will move in tomorrow!" ”

I heard that he would move into a new house tomorrow, Ma Xiaoshuang was very happy, but he was also a little embarrassed, the newly bought house was Xiao Zhenlei's after all, although he called Xiao Zhenlei brother, but he always felt a little bad living in someone else's house, so he was a little hesitant. If it is in the future life, I am afraid that many people will live with them without any worries, after all, there are too many shameless people in the later life, but people in this era will not be like this.

Xiao Zhenlei saw Ma Xiaoshuang's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "I know what you think, that house is too big, my brother feels empty when he lives alone, besides, we have to do things together, it's not very convenient for you to live separately, and it's not too late to move out when you save enough money to marry your mother-in-law in the future!" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang heard Xiao Zhenlei say this, so he reluctantly agreed to live in together.

…….

Sixteen shop piers.

Liu Fubiao sat on a chair in the duty room at the entrance of the dock and drank tea, two thugs walked in from outside with the foreman, and one thug reported: "Boss, he's here!" ”

The foreman hurriedly stepped forward to nod and bow to Liu Fubiao, bowed, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Liu, I heard that you are looking for a small one?" I wonder if there's anything you want to do smallly? You just command! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Fubiao put the tea cup on the table, opened the placket on his chest to reveal his strong chest and swarthy chest hair, put his hands on his knees and asked, "What are those two called, why didn't Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang come to work at the dock today?" ”

The foreman hurriedly said: "I don't know, but when I got off work yesterday evening, I said I didn't know if there was no work today, just let them come to the dock to see, maybe they thought there was no work on the dock today and didn't come, who knows?" Boss Liu, you also know that the coolies working on this dock are very mobile, working on this dock today, maybe they won't work here tomorrow, where can there be work, the wages are more, the coolies will go, we foremen can't restrict them! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Fubiao rubbed his cheeks, pondered for a while and then asked, "Do you know where these two boys live?" ”

The foreman thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I only know that they live in the area of Xiaodongmen, and I don't know exactly which lane they live in."

Liu Fubiao immediately got up and walked out, and the other thugs saw that the boss was gone, and they all followed. After getting out of the dock, Liu Fubiao stood still and turned his head to two of them and said: "You two go to the area of Xiaodongmen to look for it, as long as you find the two of them, you will keep an eye on Lao Tzu, and you are not allowed to lose it, and after they go to bed at night, one person will continue to star, and the other person will go back and report to me, understand?" ”

"Yes, Master Liu!" Two people designated agreed at the same time.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang returned to the alley near the rental house near Xiaodongmen in Shanghai, but now that the weather is getting hotter, the daytime is longer than the night, so five o'clock is still early.

The two of them went to the rented house to clean up, in fact, these bedding and luggage and other things can be completely dispensed with, Xiao Zhenlei doesn't care about these worthless things, you can buy new ones on the new house, and the furniture is ready-made, but Ma Xiaoshuang, a poor rural boy, is reluctant to throw it away, Xiao Zhenlei can't help him, so he can only come back with him to move the luggage, but Xiao Zhenlei comes back to return to the house and has another thing to do by the way, He was going to take away the two Lee Enfield rifles and the two hundred rounds of ammunition that were buried on the edge of the moat outside the eastern city wall, and the two rifles that were not wrapped in anything could not be buried in the earth for a long time, as they would easily rust and break.

After returning the rented house, the two went out of the alley, Ma Xiaoshuang was carrying luggage, Xiao Zhenlei didn't ask for anything, and the torn clothes, shoes and quilts were all lost to the landlord.

It didn't take long for Xiao Zhenlei to find that the two of them were being targeted again, and they were following the two people who were following yesterday. He thought as he walked, it seemed that those people were really ghostly! can't let them know their new place of residence with Ma Xiaoshuang, otherwise there will be endless disasters. He decided to go separately from Ma Xiaoshuang, so he said: "Xiaoshuang, I'll do something, you go first, wait for me at the tram stop on Laobeimen Road, I'll take it back to you!" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang didn't know that someone was following, and he agreed without thinking about anything else, so the two separated, and Liu Fubiao's two thugs also separated when they saw this, and one stared at the other.

After the separation, Xiao Zhenlei began to go around in circles in the alleys of the city, and after walking a few alleys, he quickly climbed over and disappeared into the narrow alleys when he turned around and saw the low wall.

The thug who was following Xiao Zhenlei turned the corner and disappeared from the target, his heart was in a hurry, his expression changed greatly, he immediately ran out of the alley and looked left and right to see that Xiao Zhenlei did not find Xiao Zhenlei's figure, and then returned to the alley to look for a circle, until he was sure that he had lost his heel, he had to stomp his feet and leave to find another thug who was tracking Ma Xiaoshuang, Ma Xiaoshuang didn't know that someone was following, he didn't walk fast, and he walked along the street, so he was quickly caught up.

"Hey, didn't you go with another one? Why did you get here? The thug who was following Ma Xiaoshuang asked.

"Alas, don't mention it, that guy doesn't know what to do in the alleys, he wanders around, and after a few turns, my head turns dizzy, and when I turn a corner, the person is gone, is it really a hell of an evil door!"

The thug who followed Ma Xiaoshuang said: "It's okay, the two of them are in a gang, as long as we follow this kid, we won't have to worry about finding another one!" ”

However, it was said that after Xiao Zhenlei was sure to get rid of the thugs who were following him, he immediately summoned a rickshaw on the street, took the rickshaw out of the east gate, got off at the door, and lost a few big men to send the coachman, and then walked all the way south along the moat, stopping by the moat where the guns were buried.

He looked left and right, quickly dug away the sand with his hands when no one was passing by, and quickly took out two rifles and a few cartridge boxes, divided the rifles into parts and put them into sacks along with bullets, and then carried the sacks and left.

Walked to the vicinity of the East City Gate and met an empty rickshaw, Xiao Zhenlei called a rickshaw and went straight to the old North Gate Road, and when he got off to the vicinity of the North Gate, he got off and gave money, and then walked north along the Old North Gate Road, which is already the French Concession, and the tram station is not far in front.

Walking not far from the tram stop, Xiao Zhenlei stopped and lit a cigarette to observe, he found that Ma Xiaoshuang was really standing on the side of the tram station honestly waiting, and the two people who were following were also standing on the side of the road, only four or five meters away from Ma Xiaoshuang, and there were more than a dozen people waiting for the tram around them, these people were dressed differently, some men and some women.

Xiao Zhenlei walked slowly over carrying a sack containing rifle parts, and when he saw a tram speeding towards the tram stop, Xiao Zhenlei silently walked behind the two thugs who were following him.

When the tram came, Xiao Zhenlei put the sack on the ground, and suddenly pushed forward with both hands, and the two thugs who were following Ma Xiaoshuang involuntarily ran towards the street at the same time, they had been staring at Ma Xiaoshuang from time to time, and they had no defense against Xiao Zhenlei attacking them.

The driver of the tram was about to pull down the electric brake to stop the car, when two people suddenly ran to the front of the car from the side of the road, he was shocked, panicked for a while, and when he reacted to pull the electric brake down, the two people had been hit by the tram and flew out, although the speed of the tram was not very fast, and it could not be compared with the speed of the car later, but because the mass of the tram was too large, even if it was only twenty or thirty yards per hour, it was enough to knock the two out.

"Ahh

There was silence at the scene, everyone knew that something was wrong, and before the others could react, Xiao Zhenlei walked over and squatted down to check the situation of the two thugs, and soon learned that the bones of these two people were fractured and broken in many places, especially the rib fracture of the torso part, which pierced the internal organs and caused a large amount of internal bleeding.

Xiao Zhenlei got up and shouted to the driver on the tram: "What are you doing in a daze? Send them to the doctor! ”

The driver was already frightened, and after Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he walked to the side of the road and pulled Ma Xiaoshuang away, and disappeared while those people were still watching.

successfully used this traffic accident to kill these two people, their death made Xiao Zhenlei feel a little relieved, and it will not be easy for the people of the Green Gang to find them in the future, after all, there are only these two people in the Green Gang who are familiar with the two of them, and their death is just a traffic accident in the eyes of outsiders, and the people in the Green Gang will never think that this traffic accident is man-made.
