Chapter 85: "Bright Day"
"Get rid of those gangsters who suck people's blood and eat human flesh~~~ We want an orderly and stable living environment~~!"
"Look, everyone! There are a few gangsters there, and they're going to escape! Stop them and hand them over to Scotland Yard! ”
"I know them, they are from the Clay Brotherhood, those people have done all the bad things, how many people have died because of their casinos and drug families, they are the biggest cancer in the East End of London, catch them!"
Someone in the crowd recognized Reginald and the others, and they rushed over, however, for the Clay brothers, who are usually brave and ruthless, they didn't have the heart to do it at all in the face of such a scene, and there were only two words in their minds, that is, run!
But just when they wanted to leave, they found that the other side was also blocked by people, those people seemed to be dressed in the same way as the marchers, but there were few locals inside, they were of different skin colors, different races, especially the oriental faces mixed in it, and it was a Chinese labor camp.
"Damn, shit, shit...... You are not allowed to come, and I will kill whoever comes!" ”
Bernard, who was already on the verge of losing control, raised his pistol and fired two shots at the incoming crowd.
Although he knocked down one populace, many more have been pushed to a climax by hatred and atmosphere.
Soon, Bernard found that no one was afraid of the gun in his hand, and when he was pushed by the first citizen, the rest of the people who pounced on him scratched and bit him like a class of wild dogs on the corpse of a zebra.
In this way, the guilty Clay brothers died directly at the hands of the angry marcher, and when the police arrived to disperse the crowd, only a few unrecognizable, bloody corpses remained on the ground.
......
"Pick up our boxes."
In the South End of London, under a remote bridge in the River Thames, Taylor Richardson waited by the river with a dozen henchmen, carrying wooden boxes of nearly ten sizes.
He had already sent people to look for the boat, but he did not dare to go by land, and there were marching crowds and patrol officers everywhere, so he could only choose to take the water route.
"Boss, the ship is coming!"
One of his men pointed in surprise to the river bank in the distance, where several fishing boats were slowly approaching them.
Taylor glanced at his watch, knowing that Phil was afraid that he would not have a chance to join him, so he drew a cross for his brother in his heart and decided to live even his part.
"...... Be quick, you stupid asses! ”
The members of the Richardson Brotherhood shouted at the slow-moving fishing boats, and now they wished to fly away from London with a pair of wings each, and for the first time in all these years, they felt that the city was so terrible that there was no place for them.
The fishing boats slowly docked one by one, but Taylor did not board the ship immediately at this time, he sensed that something was wrong, why did there not have a single crew member on these boats?
"Tyler Richardson, is that you? Are you going to hire our ship to escape London? ”
At this moment, a figure wearing a peaked cap appeared from the second floor of the cabin, with a warm smile on his face, and he seemed to be quite easy to get along with.
But this is an Oriental face, Taylor knows this man, and this is the target they are going to assassinate next, the union leader in the Chinese labor camp, Bruce Zhou!
"How are you? Shoot! Beat him to death! ”
Taylor commanded loudly.
As the gang members hurriedly put down their suitcases and wooden boxes to shoot at the fishing boats, a dozen people came out of the cabins of the fishing boats, all of them with machine guns.
"Foreign devils, try the uncle's Maxim machine gun~~! I was chased and beaten by this thing in the Somme back then, and today I finally have the opportunity to beat others~! ”
With an excited smile on his face, Mudzhu crouched behind a Maxim machine gun, while the other side, a large mouth of his size, fiddled with the Lewis machine gun in his hand, and the two of them pulled the trigger at the same time.
"Dada~"
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The difference in firepower between the two sides was decided in an instant, and when they saw the machine gun, the people on Richardson's side almost turned around and ran, and there was no will to resist at all.
What are you kidding, is this still a gangster fire? It's a battlefield fight!
However, it is the most foolish thing to show your back to the enemy when the two armies are facing each other, and if you shoot at each other, you still have a certain chance of surviving, and if you turn and run away, even the slightest chance of being buried by yourself.
As several machine guns spewed out tongues of fire, the gang members of the Richardson Brotherhood fell one after another like wheat in the place where the harvester passed, but the unlucky ones who were hit by Maxim suddenly split their bodies and lost their human form.
The violent bolt also made a crackling sound, Zhou Yu shouted two ceasefires in a row and no one heard it, and finally he slapped the top of Mu Dezhu's head to make this guy stop shooting.
"Okay, save a little, don't you want money for bullets?"
Zhou Yu glared at Mu Dezhu, who was scratching his head, and said loudly: "It's time to lick bags, we have made such a big noise here, the police from Scotland Yard will come to wash the floor soon, hurry up and move all those boxes and bags to the boat, let's leave here." ”
Zhou Yu instructed everyone to put away their machine guns and jump onto the river embankment, carry all the family funds that the Richardson brothers had accumulated over the years onto the boat, and leave the scene of the incident before the police arrived.
Every now and then there will be gunshots in the streets of London, and the angry marchers will grab one gang member after another, and the lucky ones will be beaten up and then tortured by the police, and the unlucky ones will be torn to pieces by the angry crowd, and even if they want to take revenge, they can't find who did it, because there are so many of them.
On this day, the riot-like march lasted from morning to evening, and the stop slowly dispersed into the middle of the night.
The next day, people woke up from the excitement, and they all felt afraid, and they couldn't even believe that they had the courage to do such a terrible thing yesterday.
But no one remembers how it all happened, and if we had to trace it back to the source, it would probably be from the moment Earl Williams was shot, and from the fact that the newspaper made a front-page headline.
However, some people who know the inside story know very well that this matter has been a foregone conclusion since Zhou Yu disguised himself and left the Chinese labor camp on a bicycle.
This is populism, those self-righteous lords and gang members don't know the horror of falling into the people's war, Zhou Yu took advantage of this, took advantage of public anger, took advantage of public opinion, took advantage of Williams's special identity, and the interest groups he represented behind him.
He struck a delicate balance, a tacit approval, and the day, which was dubbed "Bright Day" in the newspapers the next day, seemed to herald that from this day onwards, the gloom that hung over London would dissipate, and people would usher in a better and more hopeful new life.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
"Papapa~"
In the slums of South London, after a crackling shootout, the Cubs were completely routed and scattered.
Tommy took a rifle in his hand and slowly took aim and pulled the trigger, knocking down a Cub leader who was trying to climb the wall.
He threw the rifle to his companion, put his hands in the outer pockets of his waistcoat, raised his head and said, "Let's go, the matter here has been settled, and the rest will be handled by Scotland Yard." ”
When the Razor Party heard this, they quickly cleared the battlefield and only took some of the weapons left behind by the other party, and did not touch a penny of money or anything.
Since the "Bright Day", there have been fierce anti-gang, anti-slavery, and anti-exploitation activities all over London.
The Clay brothers and Richardson brothers were caught, and those who were killed were killed, all of whom fell in this purge.
Tommy and his Razor Party took advantage of the situation, and with the help of Zhou Yu, they turned from dark to light, and took over the quarry on the outskirts of the Eastern District, and got the formal development procedures.
In addition, Tommy also robbed a lot of property that previously belonged to the Clay brothers, including but not limited to casinos, tobacco houses, and bars.
As for the property of the Richardson Brotherhood, it rightfully belongs to the Chinese Workers' Battalion.
However, Zhou Yu only took away the gold, silver and jewelry of those guys, like the industry and the store, they were not convenient to come forward, so they sold their personal favor to Williams, and his family took over the management.
The Cub Lions and some fringe gangs became the trophies of Scotland Yard.
All parties have benefited enough from this incident, and tacitly have not made a statement, putting all the credit on the brave residents of London.
"Mr. Zhou, according to my preliminary calculations, we have received 230,000 pounds in cash alone this time, and those title deeds need to be realized, I don't know their prices yet, and the jewellery also needs to be valued, but in a rough calculation these things will only be worth more than cash."
Lu Xiucai pinched his swollen eyebrows, although he was very tired, his heart was happy.
Zhou Yu played with a ring inlaid with rubies in his palm and tried to wear it on his hand.
But the size of the ring was too large, and he felt awkward no matter how he looked at it after wearing it, so he simply took it off again.
"Some of these things can then be taken out and given to Tommy to sell the stolen goods, and the title deeds can be taken to Williams for digestion, and we will only need gold bars, and all the pounds will be exchanged for gold bars."
