Chapter 106: The Narrow Road (I)
"It's a pity that Lao Qing's family all went to the British Concession in Tianjin, otherwise it would be enough to eat this one!" In a private house only a few hundred meters away from the Forbidden City, Brigade Commander Tang looked at the note with full words written on his hand and muttered to himself, in fact, even if Lao Qing's family stayed in the capital, he might not dare to start directly, Lao Qing's name is too loud, the goal is too big, and it is too difficult to pry open this fat kiln without knowing it.
"Lao Qing is back, and he lives in King Qing's mansion!" Ye Jun, the person in charge of the capital direction of the intelligence department, said cautiously: "I saw the car of Qingwangfu drive in with my own eyes!" ”
"Forget it, Lao Qingjing is like a ghost, and he can't squeeze any oil and water." Brigade Commander Tang shook his head and crossed out the Qingwang Mansion, after all, Lao Qing was a bull who had been the prime minister of the Manchu Cabinet, and knew that he had a reputation for great greed, and after the Manchu abdication, he and his son Zaizhen transferred most of their assets to the British Concession, where they bought a lot of shops and real estate.
"Brigade Commander, King Rui's Mansion is a piece of fat!" Ding Yunong thought for a while and said, "I heard about the two Baylors in the Ruiwang Mansion in the north of the mouth. ”
"No matter how much money you have, you've been squandered by these two losers!" Brigade Commander Tang said regretfully. Speaking of which, the two Baylors of the Rui Wangfu are still old acquaintances, and they were knocked hard by the then head of Tang last year, plus the two brothers squandered for more than half a year, it is estimated that the cash will not be too much.
"There is no need to go to Suwangfu, this old thing has already gone to Dalian." Shanqi is the backbone of the Zongshe Party, the leader among the kings of the late Qing Dynasty, putting aside his identity as a Manchu nobleman, he is also a rare enlightened and constitutionalist among the ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, and his ability, character, and official reputation are very good. However, his popularity in later generations is much worse than that of his daughter Jin Bihui (Yoshiko Kawashima).
"Prince Yu's Mansion has become a Union Hospital, Prince Zheng's Mansion has been mortgaged to Xishiku Church, and there are few Eight Iron Hat Kings!" Ye Jun hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that the rest of the Beizi Baylor doesn't have much. ”
It has been several years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the loss of political privileges The wealth of the Manchu aristocracy has evaporated at a very alarming rate. On the one hand, the "hardcore crops" issued by the Qing Dynasty are gone, and the granges and shops attached to these palaces have also become independent, and the filial piety of the original magistrates is gone; On the other hand, the days of drunkenness and death of the descendants of these princes and nobles not only did not converge, but also intensified because of the introduction of Western gadgets such as cars and telephones, coupled with the large and small military leaders within the Beiyang warlords, the police of the Beijing Police Department, and the ruffians and gangsters on the streets and alleys, the money was naturally getting less and less.
"Prince Li, King Dorokeqin two families!" Tang Zhidao saw that it was not early, and he quickly cut through the chaos and picked two of the eight iron hat kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, both of which are the descendants of Dai Shan, and the palace is also relatively close, just one pot!
"These two seem to be in Xicheng, I'm afraid it's ......" Ye Jun kindly reminded: "Now it is the defense area of the 12th and 13th divisions." ”
"If we are really difficult to do in Beicheng, we can't blame us if something happens in Xicheng!" Ding Yunong quickly understood the deep meaning of Brigade Commander Tang and explained.
"Tonight's operation is in charge of the Operations Section of the Intelligence Department, with the cooperation of the reconnaissance team, and the second regiment and three battalions are on guard on the perimeter!" Seeing that everyone had no objection to the goal, Tang Zhidao began to assign tasks. This kind of robbery is naturally the fewer people who participate and know about it, the better, so the people who participated in this operation were all the descendants of Brigade Commander Tang.
"Brigade commander, are you ...... all the people and goods" Ding Yunong made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"Try not to shoot if you can, try not to shoot, try not to kill if you can!" Tang Zhidao said without thinking: "But if someone asks for money and doesn't want to die, don't be soft!" "Today's princes and nobles are just fat sheep, although all of them are in blood debts, but they have no interest in their dog-life brigade commander Tang at all. The most important thing is that if you get out of the big case, it will be more difficult to perfect the aftermath.
"Brigade commander, what is the use of our reconnaissance team!" Wang Guozhen scratched his head and asked, "How do you deal with other troops or police?" ”
"Didn't we catch a lot of pigtail troops, pick a few clever and obedient people, and let them run to Xicheng at the point, you follow all the way, and stop at the periphery of the two palaces." Tang Zhidao forgot that Wang Guo was really a new hand, so he had to mention them one by one: "When the rain farmers succeed, you will go in on the grounds of tracking down the fugitives." ”
"If necessary, you can play a scene with Yu Nong and them!" Tang Zhidao paused and added.
"High!" Be present and immediately understand the deep meaning of the thoughts, which is equivalent to double insurance. The Operations Section is secretly engaged in it, and the reconnaissance team can also blackmail it once, and if there are military police outside to investigate, the reconnaissance team can also take over the investigation first.
"Since there is no problem, let's go back and prepare!" Brigade Commander Tang said with a straight face: "This operation is related to the life and death of my Third Mixed Brigade, please be careful!" ”
"Yes!" After everyone saluted a military salute, they all went out to prepare, after all, Brigade Commander Tang only gave guidance in Dafang, and the details of the specific operation, including the reconnaissance in advance, were to be further improved.
"A million!" Looking at his subordinates going away, Tang Zhidao said silently in his heart, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to liquidate as soon as the Manchu Dynasty abdicated in the morning, each of the eight iron hat kings of the Manchu Dynasty was estimated to be around 10 million, and now after six years, I don't know how much more will be left, the most important thing is how much gold, silver and jewelry can be. In any case, if we can get a million this time, the operation can barely be considered a success.
…………
At dusk, the sun sets, the inside and outside of the capital gradually calms down, and there are passers-by walking in the streets and alleys, it seems that everything is back to normal, the Republic of China is still the Republic of China, and the capital is still the capital.
In an inconspicuous small alley in the northwest of Beijing, several tall soldiers with tigers and bears on their backs and tall horses walked towards the depths of the alley with a young officer.
"Brigadier, you used to live here?" Li Dazhu looked around curiously.
"Sort of." Tang Zhidao said lightly, but his heart was not calm at all, since he left here in August last year, he has not returned to his "home" for almost a year, and I don't know if Xiao Yun and the little girl Yuxuan are okay or if they still live in the courtyard. Looking back, after more than a year, the most comfortable time was the time when I was a translator in the German Legation, I didn't have to pay attention to the disturbances of the world, I didn't have to worry about the intrigue between people, I went to work on time during the day, and came back at night to teach the little girl to read seriously or read some books quietly.
"Sister-in-law lives in it too!" Li Dazhu saw that several soldiers were far away, and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe!" This time, Brigade Commander Tang did not deny it, but he also did not admit it, in short, the relationship between him and Xiao Yun was a little unclear to himself.
Turning around a protruding courtyard, a few dozen meters further on, he arrived at the courtyard that Tang Zhidao was familiar with, but as soon as he reached the end of the road, he suddenly stopped.
"Brigade Commander, what's ......" Li Dazhu also understood why Brigade Commander Tang stopped at this moment, and from a distance, he saw more than a dozen black-skinned policemen wandering not far away.
……
At this time, the small courtyard of the Xiao family was another scene, the branches of the peach tree in the middle of the courtyard were already full of ripe peaches, Xiao Yun, who was wearing a plain long skirt under the peach tree, was standing vigilantly with a broom in her hand, and Yu Xuan, who had grown a lot taller, hugged her legs and looked innocently at these strangers who rushed in front of her.
"Brother Wu, there is a saying that calls the peach blossom with a human face!" A young man with oily hair and a pink face stared at Xiao Yun under the peach tree and said to another young man in a suit and bow tie next to him: "I haven't seen it in the past few years, and the white list style of the famous capital is still the same!" ”
"Brother Jiang, that's the peach blossoms on the human face, but there are only ripe peaches in front of you, where are the peach blossoms!" Wu Da Shao raised the folding fan in his hand and said with a pun: "Why haven't I heard of this white peony?" Is it more famous than the little phoenix? ”
In Wu Dashao's opinion, the beauty in front of him is naturally beautiful, especially the beauty revealed in the beauty but it makes people's bones crispy, but it is not the type he likes, what he likes is the energetic and youthful school girl in the girls' school. This time, I accompanied Jiang Dashao to soak in the girl, purely for friendship and to help shout and cheer.
"Little Impatiens? If you don't take Cai Songpo, it is an ordinary color, and there are white peonies that are better than the eight major alleys! Jiang Dashao glanced at Wu Dashao with disdain, then looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Back then, Fat Lu spent 50,000 taels to buy her!" ”
"Then Brother Jiang is free, whether you can hold the beauty or not depends on your ability!" Wu Dashao smiled helplessly and said to Jiang Dashao in a low voice: "People are already good, or let's forget it!" ”
"Good is good, but Fat Lu has been dead for several years." Jiang Dashao smiled evilly and replied in a low voice: "I also saw that it was not easy for her to live with a child, so I wanted to help her!" ”
"Okay, you can do it yourself!" Wu Dashao frowned, no wonder Dad asked him to have as little contact with Jiang Dashao as possible. Although both of them are ranked among the four young people in the capital, Wu Dashao thinks that he still has a bottom line in being a man and doing things, but Jiang Dashao has done more.
"Look at me!" Jiang Dashao straightened his clothes and stepped forward with a hippie smile and said to Xiao Yun: "White Peony, Master Jiang, I see that it is not easy for you to live alone with children, it is better to come with me, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food!" ”
"I've told you many times, there is no white peony here, you recognize the wrong person!" Xiao Yun clenched the broom in his hand and said coldly: "Please leave quickly!" ”
"You don't have a white peony to deny it, do you want me to call the old bustard of Fenglaiju over and let her confront you face to face!" Jiang Dashao continued to lean towards Xiao Yun, his eyes squinting.
"The white peony before is dead, please respect yourself!" Xiao Yun raised the broom in his hand and said, "If you don't leave my house, I'm going to call someone!" ”
"Haha!" Jiang Dashao stopped and laughed wildly: "Then you can call it!" Let me tell you, our father is Jiang Chaozong, the commander of the infantry army, and that Wu Gongzi's father is Wu Bingxiang, the police director! ”
"I'm afraid! As long as you obediently obey me, the good days are still ahead, otherwise ......" Seeing that Xiao Yun was stunned, Jiang Dashao leaned forward again.
"You, you, if you dare to come over again, I, I'll die to show you!" Xiao Yun was forced to pull Yu Xuan back step by step, until he retreated to the corner.
"I didn't expect to meet a martyr today!" Jiang Dashao is really afraid that Xiao Yun will touch the wall, the four people Jiang Dashao really doesn't care, but the beauties that were finally discovered are really gone, it's a pity!
"This girl, he is really the eldest son of Jiang Commander, and there are only four wives and concubines in the family, so being a concubine for him as you is not insulting to you!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Wu Dashao, a helper, knew that it was time for him to appear.
"Besides, Fat Lu has been dead for many years, and you can't be a widow for him!" Seeing that Xiao Yun was silent, Wu Dashao thought that she was tempted, and continued to persuade her.
"Humph! Even if I die, I won't make him a concubine!" Xiao Yun replied mercilessly, she had also heard of Jiang Dashao's notoriety.
"You little girl, you still toast and don't eat and drink!" Jiang Dashao had long been impatient, and came directly to grab people to go home and go to bed with his heart, but Wu Dashao didn't want to look too ugly when he came over, so he pretended to be bitter.
"If you die, I'll sell the little bastard you had with Lu Fatzi to a brothel!" Seeing that Xiao Yun was really about to hit the wall, Jiang Dashao's eyes rolled and said viciously: "This little mongrel must be a big beauty when he grows up!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yun panicked, she never thought that this Jiang Dashao was so vicious, and he actually wanted to attack a four- or five-year-old child!
"Haha, it's better to leave me!" Jiang Da Shao smiled lewdly and continued to step forward, and the two grabs stretched out and leaned towards Xiao Yun's towering chest.
