Chapter 109: Stirring up Guangzhou
In the Tongwen Hall, Lu Haodong looked at a group of old friends with a serious expression.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come, and Guangzhou is probably about to be in chaos."
A young man with glasses immediately asked, "Brother Haodong, have you gotten any news?" ”
This person's surname is Chen, called Chen Shaobai, and he is an important member of the Xingzhong Association.
Lu Haodong nodded slightly: "The Feng Ji Feng Daoke recommended by Jinsun is afraid that he will make a move against the Thirteen Elements in the near future, and I am afraid that the government and foreigners will be attracted to the past, it is the best time for us to wait for an armed uprising!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all frowned.
Chen Shaobai couldn't help but shake his head: "Nonsense, Haodong, how can you put the hope of the revolution on a martial artist?" ”
"Yes, Haodong, a martial artist, why fight with the Thirteen Elements?"
"Behind the Thirteen Elements, there are officials, four major families, and foreigners, he is a foreign martial artist, where does he get the confidence to make a move against the Thirteen Elements?"
"Haodong, haven't you seen that the four major families have begun to deal with him in the past few days? This city is full of sea fishing documents, and he is wanted everywhere, and he still dares to come forward? ”
"The time has not yet come, Haodong, this matter should not be mentioned again, hurry up and call Hong Kong to tell Yat-sen that the revolution still needs to wait for the opportunity."
"Yes, Haodong, the guns haven't arrived yet, and the people of the Zhigong Hall and the Triad haven't arrived yet, so wait."
Lu Haodong couldn't help but be anxious when he saw everyone's persuasion.
"Everyone, whether the Feng Ji brothers succeed or not, we should all take all possible measures, at least guns and ammunition, and prepare the manpower first, right?"
"What if, I mean, he actually did? When the time comes, Guangzhou will be in chaos, and we will find a way to make a move at that time, but it will be too late! The foreigners and the Qing court won't give us time to prepare. ”
"Haodong, do you believe in this Feng Ji like that?"
"It's not that I believe him, it's that I believe in Jinsun, he has been in the north for many years, and he has never made a mistake in terms of seeing people and things."
"There is no urgency in this matter, let me discuss it later."
"Alas, how can those who do great things be indecisive, I'll send a telegram to Yatsen!"
……
American Concession, Thirteen Streets.
The four major families gathered here, the Pan family of Tongfu Xing, the Wu family of Yihe Xing, the Lu family of Guangli Xing, the Ye family of Tianbao, and all the people who talked about it gathered here in the Lu family.
All the head offices of the Thirteen Lines are here, but to say that the four major families are the most powerful, it is naturally the Lu family of Guangli Bank.
The Lu family is profitable, pornography, gambling and drugs are all accounted for, and everything is a huge profit.
This gathering is here at the Lu family.
Pan Zhidong, the head of the Pan family, had an ugly face and said: "A day and a night have passed, and there is still no news at all, could it be that this murderer flew out?" ”
"Our thirteen elements and four major families have joined forces, and if we want to catch a single person, we will be laughed to death!"
After Pan Zhidong finished speaking, Wu Bingjian, the head of the Wu family of Jardine Xing, also sneered and said.
After they finished speaking, Ye Shanglin, the head of the Ye family, suddenly laughed and said, "Huh? Brother Pan, Brother Wu, how did you say this? That person didn't provoke me and Brother Lu, no matter how much people outside laughed, they couldn't laugh at our Ye family and Lu family. ”
"Ye Shanglin, what are you talking about? The thirteen lines of Guangdong have always been one glory and one loss, we have lost face, and you have a light on your face? Pan Zhidong said angrily.
Wu Bingjian also sneered: "Old Ye, don't gloat, don't gloat, do you know that the madman won't kill you Tianbao Xing tomorrow?" ”
Ye Shanglin immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wu, why did that person kill you and Fuxing, don't you know?" Ho ho ho, it's not that your people don't have long eyes, and you bought someone who shouldn't have bought it? People came to seek revenge, and they wanted me to say, this is a personal vendetta, why should my Ye family interfere? ”
Seeing that a few people were going to quarrel, Lu Jiguang couldn't help frowning slightly, knocked lightly on the table, and said, "Everyone, when are you still in the mood to quarrel?" ”
He glanced at Ye Shanglin and said, "Old Ye, your Tianbao Xing, although you don't occupy cigarettes, don't do gambling stalls, and don't run brothels, but don't forget, who do you rely on for food." ”
"At present, two foreigners have died in the concession, these two foreigners are not ordinary, they are both senior executives of the American Pacific Company, and now America wants us to hand over the murderer, do you dare to agree?"
"Without the permission of the foreigners, what kind of things can you leave the port next month for silk, tea, and minerals?"
When these words came out, Ye Shanglin suddenly snorted and stopped saying cool words.
He is a serious businessman, and he is not contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs like the other three major families, so he looks down on these people a little bit in his heart.
But it is precisely because he has not been contaminated with these industries that although he is among the four major families, he has always been at the bottom.
Seeing that Ye Shanglin was no longer demolishing the stage, Lu Jiguang looked at Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian with satisfaction, and asked: "The foreigners are in a hurry, and they only gave us three days to catch the murderer." ”
"Do you have any clues? Looking for this all over Guangzhou City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
Wu Bingjian immediately said: "I have investigated the situation over there in Yiheyuan, and someone has seen it with his own eyes, and this person has rescued a child prostitute and a woman. ”
"I checked the identities of these two people, both of them are surnamed Duan, I'm afraid the murderer is quite related to the Duan family."
"Someone at the scene heard the prostitute call the murderer's uncle."
As soon as Wu Bingjian finished speaking, Ye Shanglin on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Sure enough, it's a personal vendetta." ”
Wu Bingjian glared at him, but didn't say anything.
Their Jardine and Pan family's Tongfu are indeed easy to attract revenge from those who are looking for relatives.
But in the past, those who dared to come to seek revenge on their relatives came to die one by one, and they had never encountered a murderer who was one enemy and one hundred.
This time it's an iron kick.
However, they didn't realize how hard the iron plate was, and it was just a bit of a problem.
And this trouble does not mean that the murderer killed a hundred or ten Chinese, but killed two foreigners.
Otherwise, in their eyes, this matter is not even a trouble.
In their eyes, the lives of two foreigners are much more important than the lives of a hundred and ten Chinese.
This is related to the attitude of foreigners towards them, which makes foreigners unhappy, and their goods can't even go out of Guangzhou, let alone sell overseas.
"Brother Pan, the people were bought from your Tongfu Xing, these two people, do you have any impression of the people on your side? Did you find a clue? ”
Pan Zhidong nodded slightly, and said, "I have already sent someone to check, these two people are indeed abducted from the shantytown by the people under my hands." ”
"At that time, there were several family members surnamed Duan, and the men were all sold to foreigners."
"At that time, there were two women and a child, one of the women was called Duan Hongmin, and the child was called Duan Dabao, and they were both sold to Jardine Ho Xing, that is, the one big and one small saved by the murderer."
"The rest of the woman was bought by a foreign priest."
"Did you find the foreign priest?"
"Still looking."
Lu Jiguang immediately said: "Since this person is bent on saving this Duan family and has already rescued two people, then he will definitely save this woman, and the other men who sold to foreigners must also be his relatives." ”
"In this way, you can find a way to get back those Duan family men from the foreigners."
"Maybe you can use these people as artificial bait to lure out the murderer."
Ye Shanglin snorted coldly: "Trouble, didn't you all just catch someone to deal with it in the past?" Do you have to catch the murderer this time? The murderer's kung fu is so strong, you don't see it, why bother with this effort, it's better to grab a prisoner directly from death row and hand it over. ”
Lu Jiguang shook his head: "Foreigners are not as easy to deceive as our officials, they really like to compete, if they don't catch the real murderer, they won't give up, remember, it's okay to fool the government, but it's not okay to fool foreigners." ”
Ye Shanglin rolled his eyes.
"Then go check it out."
Several people were discussing, and suddenly the old housekeeper of the Lu family outside hurriedly ran in.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Lu Jiguang frowned slightly: "What are you panicking about?" What's the matter? ”
"Our Guangli Bank was smashed in Huangpu Port, Qingshuiwan, Nanqiao and other places, and the tobacco and soil were also burned, and many people died."
Lu Jiguang's eyes widened instantly, and he stood up suddenly: "What did you say?!" ”
didn't wait for the housekeeper to say it again, but saw that the entourage of the Pan family and the Wu family outside also ran over.
"Master, something is wrong!"
"Master, something is wrong!"
Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian couldn't help but show a bad look, and hurriedly stood up.
Before he asked, the entourage hurriedly shouted: "Master, please go back quickly, many of our semicolons outside Fuxing have been burned, and many of them have been killed!" ”
"Master, several Yihexing branches in Chunfeng Building and Wanhua Building have been smashed, and many Yao sisters have escaped!"
"There are also gambling stalls, and gambling stalls have also been ruined!"
The heads of the four major families were full of anger, and almost at the same time, they burst out: "Who did it? ”
"I don't know, those people are strong in martial arts, not like ordinary people!"
Lu Jiguang slammed the table and roared angrily: "It's the other way around!" Is this still Guangzhou? ”
Pan Zhidong was also furious: "Who is so bold that he dares to provoke my Pan family!" ”
"Quick, quickly recruit and arrest people!"
"In addition, quickly notify the government and let the government lead the troops, and if you encounter troublemakers, you will be killed!"
Several heads of the family shouted angrily and immediately gave orders.
Among the four, only Ye Shanglin was thoughtful, sitting on the chair and not moving.
He doesn't seem to have an accident in Tianbaoxing?
What happened were all smoke houses, gambling stalls, brothels, and dental shops?
He didn't think long before Lu Jiguang and the others had already given the order and began to blockade Guangzhou City.
"This matter is not quite right, someone wants to move our four major families!" Pan Zhidong reacted and shouted immediately.
Lu Jiguang also came back to his senses and immediately said: "It's really wrong, where did these people come from?" ”
"Who's behind this?"
"No matter who the other party is, when they come to our Guangzhou, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down."
"Do you want to inform the foreigners in the concession?"
"Of course, we don't have that kind of guns, and we have to rely on the guns of foreigners."
……
One order after another was issued, and the city of Guangzhou was instantly in turmoil.
A large number of government patrols were dispatched on the streets, and gangs of the four major families also took action.
Ordinary people sensed that something was wrong and closed their stalls one after another.
"Bell, bell, bell...... Idle people and others avoid, and catch bandits in the city! ”
"Bell, bell, bell...... The government arrests bandits, and the people avoid them! ”
A large number of people beat gongs and drums to disperse the crowd.
The lively streets became empty.
Only a team with swords in hand walked.
American Concession, English Concession, French Concession, Japanese Concession......
The major concessions in Guangzhou were quickly put under martial law, and a large number of patrol teams were infested in the vicinity, and checkpoints were set up at the entrances and exits of major roads to prohibit traffic.
Bang!
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded in the south of the city.
On the top of the Lu family's castle, the people of the four major families hurriedly walked out and looked south, their faces were furious.
Lu Jiguang was shocked: "Vulcan cannon? ”
Pan Zhidong's face was full of anger: "This group of people actually has a Vulcan cannon? ”
Wu Bingjian was also incredulous: "Where did the Vulcan Cannon come from?" Something is wrong, something is wrong! This is no ordinary gangster! ”
Ye Shanglin's face also became gloomy: "Damn, who the hell is this group of people!" ”
Vulcan cannon, that is a sharp weapon that only foreigners have, the Vulcan cannon of the Qing Dynasty, that is all antique, useless, the latest weapons are purchased from abroad.
The Vulcan cannon just now is huge, I'm afraid it's more than ten miles away from here, but it's still thundering!
They had only seen such powerful firearms on a foreigner's ship!
……
Wong Lee Street, in front of a blazing ruin.
Hong Yihu laughed, turned his head to look at Feng Ji, and said, "Brother Xian, how about our Vulcan Cannon?" ”
Feng Ji stood beside him, looking at the clumsy artillery, and sighed in his heart.
"It's really powerful, such an artifact, how can a mortal body resist it? No matter how strong I am in horizontal practice, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the power of this cannon. ”
Beside him was a pitch-black iron cannon.
The people of Hongmen were loading the cannonballs and turning the muzzles.
The fire in front of them was surging into the sky, and the ruins were all there, and the Tongfu Gang members who were still blocking their way were already dead and fled.
Personal bravery, in the face of firearms, is indeed vulnerable.
Hong Yihu heard Feng Ji's emotion, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, we have practiced kung fu all our lives, but we can't help the bombardment of foreigners, so backward from others, not thinking about change, only caring about pleasure, the Qing court should be destroyed." ”
He went undercover in Nanjing, had seen too many Qing court officials corrupt, and knew that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, and it was the time for Hongmen to come back!
The two were talking, when suddenly a figure came, but saw the person carrying the banner of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau and riding a horse.
"Brother Feng, Uncle Hong, Donglin Street has been taken, and the brothels, tooth shops, tobacco houses, and gambling stalls have all been destroyed by us!"
"My father also found some stocks of opium in the thirteen lines, which are hundreds of kilograms, and the family business and Yade are over there to follow Lord Lin Humen to sell cigarettes."
Xiao Min turned over and jumped off the horse, and immediately reported the results of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to Feng Ji and Hong Yihu.
Feng Ji and the others immediately smiled.
Hong Yihu asked, "Are you in trouble?" ”
Xiao Min smiled: "There are some local snake gang guards in those places, but they are all a group of rabble, we only killed a few rounds, and we were scared away." ”
Feng Ji smiled, turned his head instead, and looked in the direction of the American concession: "Those are all little minions, real opponents, there!" ”
Hong Yihu looked in the direction of the concession and knew that the personnel of the four major families were hiding inside.
If you want to destroy the Thirteen Elements, you have to kill the four major families first!
Suddenly, behind the Hongmen team, someone shouted.
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
Hong Yihu turned around and immediately laughed: "Brother Xian, what am I talking about?" As long as we do it, the government will definitely intervene. ”
Feng Ji also looked back, and couldn't help but sneer: "The official doesn't make decisions for the people, what's the use?" If they want to stop us, kill them first! ”
"After killing the official, there is no turning back." Hong Yihu said in a deep voice.
Feng Ji laughed out loud and patted the suitcase beside him.
With a thud, the trunk cracked, revealing a heavy armor made of stainless steel.
On either side of the armor, two iron shields full of sharp barbs rested.
The edge of the iron shield is a sharp blade!
Feng Ji put on the armor one by one, put on the bracers in the iron shield with both hands, and lifted the two hideous iron shields, the whole person was like a steel beast!
"If you can't turn back, then go straight ahead and kill him cleanly!"
Let's talk about the update problem.,Next, I'll try to update 10,000 words every day.,I don't know how long it can last.,But the number of chapters remains the same.,It's still 2 more.,So it's all big chapters.。
