When Russell leaves Garrison's Tavern, Arthur Shelby turns to look at the drunken drunkards.

With a calm face, he said: "The Razor Party will not give such an order!" Keep drinking. ”

Suddenly, the drunkards shouted loudly again, as if no one had been there at all.

After Arthur said this, he also returned to the private room, picked up the whiskey and looked up and took a big snor.

He suffers from the very serious after-effects of war trauma, and whenever he is idle or asleep, his mind will be reminded of all kinds of tragic past events on the battlefield.

So he can only numb himself with alcohol...... The whiskey was so good that he forgot about Colley and collapsed unconscious in the private room.

On the way, Russell strode with a cigarette in his mouth.

Adolphus followed behind with rum in his arms, his eyes looking around from time to time, for fear that someone would make a disturbance and come forward to find fault.

Birmingham's night security is not good, a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, and doing things happen after dark, a while ago, a family of four was wiped out on Gus Street next door, and the house was turned into a mess, and the police station has no clues until now.

It was difficult to stay alive in those days, especially in the first few months after the war, when many widows and orphans were born in the Birmingham area, the male labour force was reduced, and material production and construction were naturally much slower.

】

After the Second Industrial Revolution, Birmingham became the second largest city in England and was home to two famous companies, the Light Weapons Factory and the Austin Motor Company.

It was a very decent thing to work in both companies, working 52 hours a week and earning £10 shillings and 6 pence a week.

In addition, the company distributes food such as bread and household supplies such as soap and shampoo......

"Do you want to do an apprenticeship at Austin Motor Company?"

Adolphus, who was walking, was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth and said, "Dad, do you want me to go to Austin as an apprentice?" ”

Russell shook his head: "No, just ask if you want to." If you want to do an apprenticeship, I'll figure it out. If you don't want to, you can talk to me about what to do. ”

Adolphus looked up at his father's broad back, his eyes moistened.

I can't help but think back to the years when my father was out fighting, and my mother was worried about the family......

"I don't want to earn dead wages, that will only make us poorer. My plan and I were to apply for a job at Camptown Racecourse...... But Shirja disagreed. ”

Camptown Racecourse is the domain of Billy Kempo, who controls horse betting outside of London, has legal horse betting papers, and does a regular business that pays taxes.

However, Billy Kempo is not a philanthropist, although he is self-made, but he also plays the black game under the black lights.

Don't look at the Shelby family running rampant in the streets, but Billy Kempo is also trembling.

In the words of Arthur Shelby: Billy Kempo has an army, and that's a army!

Russell nodded when he heard this, he didn't do the right thing with Quasilya, and he didn't say that Adols's ideas were naïve.

Lanpo Street Entrance.

Russell turned his head to look at Adolphus and said, "You go back first." ”

"What about you?"

"I went to get a haircut, and my hair was a little messy."

“…… Okay, I'll talk to Shirya. ”

Seeing Adolphus enter the house, Russell turned and walked towards the canal.

The Birmingham Canal was built between 1768 and 1772 under the supervision of James Brendley. The new waterway is connected to the seaport, which can easily transport large quantities of raw materials and goods to various parts of the country.

The canal is like a spider's web, it leads to the harbor, it goes to London...... It is very convenient to get around by water.

It was only in the 1830s that it was replaced by the railroad, and now only private individuals or small business owners use the canal to transport goods, such as the Shelbys......

While at Garrison's Tavern, Russell's goal is not only to make a public announcement, but also to make an impression on the people in the tavern.

But he didn't expect to run into Arthur Shelby, and he took Coley's location information out of his mouth.

This had to be brought forward, as there was a mention of 'Charlie' in the tavern, the only elder of the Shelby family other than Aunt Polly.

Tommy had asked Charlie to deliver the lost batch of munitions to the old tobacco docks!

Although it is unclear where he entered the dungeon, it is known from experience that this is the timeline when the arms were delivered to the old tobacco docks.

As soon as I entered the tavern, I heard the drunkards talking about the Bonagan Boy, a horse raced by Tommy Shelby, who won the first two races according to the plot direction, and swept the whole of Birmingham by £3,000 in the third race.

It is precisely because of this that he offended the horse gambling dealer Billy Kempo......

Russell walked along the banks of the canal towards the old tobacco wharf, and the night was gray and foggy, and it was somewhat difficult to see the road, but he could faintly see the boatmen with oil lamps and the humming of the machinery and ships on the canal.

Under the narrow bridge about 300 meters from the old tobacco wharf, Russell leaned against the stone pier to smoke.

In the distance, a container transport ship slowly approached, and the cargo piled up inside was covered by a black cloth.

Russell stood here and saw at least six ships passing by, but only this one was suspicious.

He threw away his cigarette butt and stooped down to the narrow bridge, where the boat slowly passed and slipped under it.

"Colley?"

The man carrying the oil lamp on the boat was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing that it was Colley himself, Russell jumped off the narrow bridge and landed on the boat with ease.

This made Colli stunned, and he hurriedly put his hand on his waist, as if trying to pull out his gun......

However, where will Russell give him a chance?

Three steps and two steps rushed forward, one hand pressed Kohley's arm, the other hand pinched his throat, two fingers pinched hard, Koli's throat instantly shattered!

'Ahem......

Colli lay on his back on the boat, his hands clutching his throat, panting violently, but his trachea had been cut by broken bones, and all that awaited him was suffocation.

As the ship continued to sail forward, Russell glanced at Cohley, who had just died on the ground, and then turned around and flipped through the black cloth to look at the cargo inside, and sure enough, it was the lost batch of munitions.

Russell threw Coley's gun into the river and pulled out £2 and 3 shillings and 18p from him, as well as a ticket to buy the winner of the Boy Monagan.

The bill could not be kept, and was also thrown into the river by Russell, who only put coins and banknotes in his pocket.

He drove past the old tobacco wharf, and two people stood on the shore with lanterns, shouting at him: "Coley? ”

Due to the dark night covered with gray fog, the other party looked down on the people on the boat, and could only see an outline.

Russell replied in Colley's voice, "It's me." ”

"Get the boat out to the dock, Charlie has us waiting for you here."

Russell said, "Charlie told me to take the boat to Smart Docks, and you guys can go back." What time is it now? ”

"What?"

One person was stunned, and the other person next to him looked at his pocket watch and said, "11:42." ”

"Damn, it's three o'clock in the morning when I get back."

"Huh! Colli......"

The two men waved in hand.

Russell didn't reply, just sailed along the canal.

The boat sailed for about twenty minutes, and finally found a natural berth along the way, which was a hollow puddle that could just dock a boat.

After pulling the boat in, Russell covered himself with nearby weeds and branches, and ran wildly towards Watertree Lane.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Waterley Lane and glanced at the number that read No. 6.

This is the nest of the Shelby family.

Second floor, Tommy Shelby's bedroom.

He used to be a trench soldier, and after returning from the army, he also suffered from war trauma syndrome, and every time he fell asleep, he could dream of fighting the enemy in the trenches, and he was shocked into a cold sweat......

It can only be relieved by smoking a lot, which is similar to Arthur's use of alcohol to heal his wounds.

Russell's movements were very light, and he saw the child sleeping on the sofa in the living room, it was Finn, the youngest brother of the Shelby family.

He ignored it, and after pushing the door into Tommy's bedroom, he slowed down all the clocks in the room, including the pocket watch in Tommy's pocket.

Then he sat down in a chair with his legs crossed, took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.

After only two puffs, he impatiently spat the smoke on Tommy's face, and seeing that Tommy was showing signs of waking up, he took out the Colt nickel-plated version of M1911 from the space.

Tommy was choked by the smoke, and he thought it was Finn's prank, and was about to curse before he stopped his mouth.

His eyes looked straight at the man in front of him, his hair was ragged, his hair was messy, and he was sloppy to the extreme, and he held a very beautiful Colt pistol in his hand, which at a glance knew was a custom-made version.

"You... Who is it? ”

Russell took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Hello, Mr. Tommy Shelby." With all due respect, please let me introduce that I am a father from Lampo Street who had to do this for the sake of my daughter. ”

Tommy was about to get up, but Russell squinted and persuaded, "Tommy, I want you to lie down honestly, and ask about the consequences of a father being provoked, have you thought about it?" Not to mention the fact that he had a loaded gun in his hand. ”

Tommy leaned against the head of the bed, watching him in silence.

"I'm here for no ill intent, just to fix things. You razors have some prestige on Watertree Street, and to be honest I am scared. Maybe it's because the Razor Party is used to being arrogant and domineering, and they actually bullied me on Lanpo Street...... My woman is a young girl, and you ......"

"Sir, excuse me, I would like to know what you mean."

Russell nodded: "Your people forced my daughter to marry his son by order of the Razor, and his name is Colley. I went to meet Arthur Shelby at Garrison's Tavern today, and although he gave me a bottle of rum, he didn't take it to heart, and I'm afraid that tomorrow Colley will raid my house with the Razor......"

"So, you sneaked into Shelby's lair in the middle of the night? Threaten, or beg for mercy? ”

Russell frowned: "It's not late at night, it's only ...... now"

He turned his head to look at the time on the clock and said, "11:50...... It's not even 12 o'clock. Besides, I'm not here to threaten, let alone beg for mercy, but to tell you...... If I can come in quietly, I can take your life silently, your brother Finn's life, your brother John's ......."

"You can take this as a warning, because I'm not really rude to you. We all live here, just two streets away. ”

Tommy blinked at him, "Can you tell me, your name?" ”

"Russell Campo."

“…… I've heard of you, you and I were awarded the Medal for Valor at the Battle of the Somme, but you came back decadent, aren't you? ”

"I hate to admit it's true, but that's what it is."

Tommy was silent for a moment, then put his hand in his inner pocket, "I'll take care of Coley's behavior." ”

He pulled out his pocket watch from his inner pocket and looked at it, and the time on it was the same as on the clock, which was 11:51.

"Then I apologize to you for your reckless behavior."

"No, but you can choose to talk to me on the street, why ......?"

"Your brother Arthur is indifferent to this matter, and as a father is very anxious, can you understand?"

"Understood."

Russell smiled and swung his slap knife at Tommy's neck, "You can go back to sleep." ”

Tommy lay on the bed with his neck crooked and fell into a deep sleep.

Russell took advantage of the time to slow down and put it back in place, including the pocket watch in Tommy's inner pocket.

Then, he left Shelby's lair.

Half an hour later, a natural berth on the bank of the canal.

Russell started the boat with a cigarette in his mouth and continued to sail towards the countryside.

When I passed by a cemetery, I stopped to look at it and found a good location.

So he took a shovel and a pickaxe and went ashore and dug a pit.

After burying all the munitions on the ship in the pit, he still had the leisure to carve a tombstone that read: Campbell's Tomb.

The area around the cemetery is old, and it looks less like a new grave and more like a wild grave overgrown with wild grass.

Russell then returned to the boat, drove the boat to another waterway, tied a sack full of stones to Colley's body, and sank to the bottom of the river.

When everything was done, the boat was abandoned on the waterway not far from Grimm Prison.

When I got home, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Hirya slept on the couch and woke up instantly when she heard the voice.

"Why don't you sleep in your room?"

"Waiting for you. Is the matter settled? ”

Russell sat on the sofa and looked at Sylya, holding a cigarette and nodding slowly: "Solved." ”

"Are you hungry? I'll get you some bread. ”

Russell nodded.

Hilja lightly makes a light meal of bread and pairs it with a glass of juice.

She didn't leave, but sat next to Russell, quietly waiting.

"Juice..."

"Alcohol is not good for the body, juice helps with digestion."

"Who did you listen to?"

"Dr. House, he's been in the neighborhood for free clinics all the time, and I've heard him talk to rich people."

At the mention of the money, Russell got up and took out 2 pounds, 3 shillings, and 18 pence from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Buy some beef tomorrow."

Hirya was stunned, she cautiously took the money, and didn't come from anywhere, just nodded solemnly: "Okay." ”

"Go back and rest."

Shirya's eyes kept looking at him as she got up, and Russell looked up and smiled, "Look at what?" ”

"I'll cut your hair?"

Russell munched on bread and paused, and it turned out that Shirya had found out from his hair and beard that he had gone to settle Ai Yin's business, not to drink.

At that time, he left Adolphus on the pretext that he went to get a haircut and trim his beard......

I didn't expect Shirya to be so smart, and she guessed where he was going with this little detail.

"Okay."

Shirja took out the scissors and spatula, and when Russell had finished eating the bread, she repaired it for him.

"Dad, what should our family do in the future?"

"What do you think?"

"You were a soldier for the King, you were awarded the Medal for Valor, and the Birmingham Police Department sent you an offer a week ago. ”
