Chapter 67 The Little Emperor, the Big Deal I

"Old Zhi, where do you want to go?" Xu Shuzheng shook his head without even thinking about it and replied: "I have already been familiar with Chang Ruiqing's details. I am a native of Tongshan, I studied in a church school since I was a child, and I also entered Catholicism, and after graduating from primary school, I entered Nanjing Lu Primary School・・・・・・ until I graduated from the third phase of Baoding, and I did not have the slightest opportunity to contact the red thoughts, how could I make up any red brigades? Moreover, what kind of Red Doctrine is the workers' and peasants' armed forces, and he wants to revolutionize the lives of the rich, he Chang Ruiqing's family is a rich man, and most of his iron-blooded comrades are also valuable, so it is impossible to go to the Red Brigade. ”

"That's right." Duan Qirui nodded, in the past few days, he asked Beiyang University to send some materials about Red Doctrine, which were either workers or peasants, and the Red Brigade also claimed to be a soldier of the workers' and peasants' armed ・・・・・・ Chang Ruiqing, and his family was a landlord, so he would have nothing to do with the Red Brigade. Thinking of this, Duan Qirui sighed again: "But for this red brigade, we can't take it lightly!" If you dare to take the emperor under the knife, you will extort 250,000 taels of gold at once! And at the moment of Zhang Xun's restoration, he did a really good job, gaining fame and fortune! I wonder if it's going to be a great force in the future! ”

"Hey! Aren't they just a few chaotic parties! Xu Shuzheng waved his hand indifferently: "They don't have an army, what can they do?" At most, it is similar to Sun Yat-sen, if you don't worry, after we recapture Beijing, let the Ministry of Police find a way to arrest several leaders of the Red Brigade. ”

Duan Qirui lowered his head heavily: "Well, we must do our best to arrest this gang of thieves!" Can't let them run to the south with the gold・・・・・・ if they are pulled over by Sun Yat-sen, they will definitely be in danger! ”

"Old Zhi, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts!" Xu Shuzheng sneered: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold!" Heaped up like a hill, how can they deliver? How to move out of Beijing? How is it possible not to show a little bit of weakness in this matter? I'm afraid that as soon as the gold arrives, the police will come and smash the door. ”

・・・・・・

A dusty car rumbled into the bustling streets of Tianjin Wei. I came to a small hotel owned by a Japanese merchant named Ito's family in the Japanese concession of Tianjin. The guy at the inn, and a short Toyo, who was probably the boss, greeted him with a smile on his face when he saw the business coming to the door, and at the same time did not forget to bow to the characters in the carriage.

The coachman lifted the curtain, and out came a young man with delicate eyebrows and a somewhat grim expression, wearing a fur hat and mink coat, and carrying a suitcase in his hand. He swept his eyes around, nodded slightly, and whispered, "It's okay, it's quite quiet." Then he jumped out of the carriage with the help of the sturdy coachman, and was greeted by the Japanese boss and the Chinese man, and flew into the first floor of the hotel. The coachman pulled the carriage and went to the stable in the backyard of the hotel.

These two people are the eunuch Meng Limeng, who rushed over from Beijing City day and night, and Chang Ruiqing's guard Hu Roller Blind.

Walking into the hotel, Meng Li turned his head and asked the Japanese boss: "Is there a Mr. Huang from Guangdong who lives here?" ”

"I don't know which Mr. Huang is?" The Japanese boss asked with a smile.

"It's Mr. Huang Baopei." Meng Li replied lightly.

"Yes, yes, this Mr. Huang lives in room A No. 1 on the second floor, please come with me, and I will take you to meet him." The Japanese boss replied enthusiastically, and at the same time led the way in front and led Meng Li to the door of the most luxurious and expensive suite in the entire hotel.

Meng Li took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket and handed them to the Japanese boss: "These are tips, please open two upper rooms for me, and prepare a few small dishes to send here." ”

The Japanese boss took the money and left happily, while Meng Li knocked on the door of No. 1 A. After only two knocks, the door of the room opened, and Huang Baopei's short and thin figure had already appeared inside the door. The Red Brigade spokesman's expression was a little panicked, and he looked around for a while before he sighed softly: "Xiao Meng, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Meng Li smiled, entered the room, closed the door with his hand, and sat down separately with Huang Baopei, before he said unhurriedly: "The train is broken, so I can only take the carriage with the curtain to come, which delays some time." By the way, what's the situation here in Tianjin? Is the wind tight? ”

Huang Baopei snorted: "It's not like a group of old and young people crying all day long to rescue their emperor!" King Qing's Baylor Zaizhen took the lead, set up a rescue committee, and raised money among the widows in Tianjin, and heard that there were already millions of silver dollars, and they also exchanged gold everywhere, so that the price of gold in the market rose a lot. ”

Meng Li's expression did not move: "What about Xiao Dezhang?" Did he participate in this rescue committee? ”

Huang Baopei nodded: "Of course he participated, this eunuch is so rich, if he doesn't participate, can those old and young people in Tianjin let him go?" I heard that he and Zhen Baylor are the initiators of the Rescue Committee, and they also donated 500,000 silver dollars! ”

A trace of coldness slipped across Meng Li's face before he said softly: "Isn't that silver of his from the Qing Dynasty?" Greedy at least tens of millions! Now that the little emperor is in trouble, he only took 500,000 yuan out, is this a dispatch called Huazi? ”

Huang Baopei knew that Meng Li had been on an errand under Xiao Dezhang, and there might be some holiday between the two, but he didn't bother to ask more, so he just nodded in agreement. Meng Li then asked, "Where does Xiao Dezhang live now?" Ming'er, I want to visit him. ”

Huang Baopei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Xiao Meng, you are looking for Xiao Dezhang to ・・・・・・."

"Ask for money!" Meng Li smiled coldly: "Someone should always ask for two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, right?" As he spoke, he took out a mutton fat white jade pendant from his pocket and shook it in front of Huang Baopei's eyes: "When Xiao Dezhang sees this, he should be able to believe that the little emperor is in our hands!" ”

"Go to the door and ask for money!" Huang Baopei took a breath and stared at Eunuch Meng: "Xiao Meng, this is too dangerous, right?" ”

"Dangerous what?" Meng Li sneered: "The little emperor is in our hands, they don't dare to do anything to our family!" By the way, you and Hu Roller Blinds will leave this place early tomorrow morning and move to the Li Shunde Hotel. Also, every day at 11 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I had to hang up the phone on time to the Xiaode Zhang Mansion on Cambridge Road in the British Concession, and said that I was looking for Comrade Meng Li, and let Hu Rolling Shutter do it. ”

Huang Baopei nodded, his face full of worry: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, that's more than fifteen thousand catties!" Even if they are willing to give it, will we have a way to transport so much gold safely without missing a bit? ”

Meng Li smiled: "It's not our turn to worry about this matter, Comrade Zuo Min (Chang Ruiqing) has his own overall plan." Oh, before coming to Tianjin, Shiren (Wu Shi) also explained that the red propaganda work needs to be further strengthened, and outsiders can't be allowed to treat our red brigade as a strongman who kidnaps and ransom. But don't show up in person, lest it be exposed. After the rebellion outside Zhengyangmen two days ago, many celebrities and scholars from Beijing came to Tianjin, and many professors from Peking University, where you studied, also came to Tianjin and lived in the dormitory of Peiyang University. ”

"I understand this, I'll go to Peiyang University tomorrow to find them." Huang Baopei smiled bitterly and nodded. Isn't the Red Brigade kidnapping and ransom now? It's a sure thing to make people look like robbers! At least that's how the upper echelons in Beijing and Tianjin see it. As for the toiling masses of the lower classes, they also regarded the Red Brigade as a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor・・・・・・ which is almost the meaning of robbers. I don't know what the two professors, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, think of red elements like themselves?
