Shanghai Tang Zhabei.

Later generations may not have imagined that during the Republic of China, Shanghai Tang was almost entirely a concession, except for Zhabei and Nanshi.

To the north of Pidgin (Aidoya Road, now Yan'an Road) is the British Concession, to the south is the French Concession, and the Hongkou area is the Japanese Concession.

As one of the few public areas in Shanghai, it can be described as a mixed mix of fish and dragons, with three religions and nine streams converging.

The busy streets are filled with all kinds of people, from well-dressed socialites to poorly dressed workers, from gangsters to pear gardeners, and almost every class of people in Shanghai is represented here.

High-rise buildings and dilapidated buildings are lined up in a staggered manner, and the neon lights of nightclub dance halls flicker in the night, illuminating dark corners but also hiding some hidden secrets.

At this time, one of the most famous nightclubs in Zhabei [Sanchongtian] was inside.

Syllable!

Chen Chen slapped Miss Wu next to him, and then felt unrelieved and picked up the wine bottle and smashed it in her face!

"! You can't pinch your shoulders well, what's the use of raising you guys?! ”

"Eh, Brother Chen, you are angry, you are still confused", a thin middle-aged man with glasses and a master dressed as a master hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Chen, and he shouted to the younger brothers around him: "Eh! Who's that, come over here and throw this chick out! ”

After a few little brothers wearing black suits with axes pinned to their waists carried away the dying woman, the master took out a cigar and lit it for Chen Chen, and then comforted him with a smile: "Brother Chen, although we have paid a lot of price, we still sent the little girl's uncle away, we should be happy." ”

"Happy?!"

When Chen Chen heard this, he shouted angrily: "I was slapped a few times in public by that bastard, and I have to apologize to him for 100,000 francs!" How you make me happy! ”

Not long ago, Chen Chen brought a group of brothers to the nightclub he opened to drink and drink as usual, but before his fingers were wet, several military trucks drove directly to the door of the nightclub.

A group of soldiers rushed in directly with guns on their shoulders, and before Chen Chen could figure out what the situation was, he was slapped twice in the face by a middle-aged man in the lead!

Just as he was being pumped, the guy grabbed him by the neck and asked him if he had eaten the bear's heart leopard gall, and even their white minister's niece dared to bully him.

As soon as he heard this name, Chen Chen, who was still angry, was instantly scared into a cold sweat, and Bai Chongxi of the Songhu Garrison Command!

It's all on the beach, no! One of the most powerful big men in the whole ZG, he actually sent someone to teach him a lesson for a little girl.

Not to mention being slapped a few times in front of so many people, and being threatened to collect 100,000 silver dollars and send them to the headquarters within a day, Chen Chen was both happy and angry when he thought of this.

Fortunately, they can survive by paying the money, and they are angry that the dead fat man in the second boss has caused such a big trouble for their axe gang.

"Is that bastard in charge of the second boss dead?"

"It's almost, there is still one breath left in the hospital", the master said, "I heard that the doctor said that this guy's ribs and cervical vertebrae are almost completely broken, and he wants to live unless he is sent"

"!"

Chen Chen scolded: "If it weren't for this bastard, how would we get into trouble with the Bai family, damn, notify the little brother who was guarding him and pull out his oxygen tube for me!" ”

"Got it!"

After a mouthful of agreement, he hesitated for a while and then asked, "That. Brother Chen, our people have found out, and the kid who played the second leader before is not from the Bai family. ”

"What? So where is he mixed up? ”

"We have eyeliner to see that after this guy finished playing the second master, he went to Ding Li's residence on Xiafei Road that afternoon, and this guy probably followed Ding Li to eat."

"Ding Li!"

Chen Chen instantly burst out and said: "I knew that someone must be making trouble in the dark, it turned out to be Ding Li, a hillbilly!" ”

He took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand, and then whispered in his master's ear, "Find out where this kid lives, and."

"Understood, I'll arrange for someone to do it now."

After the master arranged for the manpower to go, Chen Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, he thought that he could only eat this dumb loss this time, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.

He can't afford to mess with those soldiers, but fortunately, there is a soft persimmon that can be pinched and let out a bad breath.

The next day, inside the Pig Coop Walled City.

Zheng Jirong snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at the three bowls of noodles on the table helplessly.

"Ah Xing, you kid has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, so you ordered these bowls of noodles?"

"Yes", Zhou Xingzu came over with a plate of pickles and said: "When I was with my third uncle on Hong Kong Island, I cooked instant noodles when I was hungry, and there were no instant noodles for sale here, so I had to cook dried noodles." ”

"Damn, you don't know how to cook, you didn't say it earlier."

Zheng Jirong shook his head, and helplessly picked up the noodle bowl and sucked it up.

It is worth mentioning that although this noodle does not look good, it tastes quite strong.

"Brother Rong", Zhou Xingzu asked with a bowl of noodles: "That Chen Chen We have been with him for a day, this guy has been dancing in the nightclub almost all day, dancing with his subordinates during the day, and dancing with the dance ladies at night, do we still need to continue to follow him?" ”

"Dancing?"

"yes, this bastard has choreographed a dance of his own Axe Gang, not to mention, it looks quite exciting."

Zheng Jirong bowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Have you found out who his backer is?" ”

Ah Xing shook his head and said: "That's not true, didn't Ding Li say that his backer was a foreigner?" ”

"Foreigners are also divided into East and West."

"Oh!"

After thinking about it, Ah Xing raised his fingers and shouted: "By the way, I saw him take people to the Japanese Concession before, could it be that his backer is from Dongying?" ”

"Japanese concession?"

Zheng Jirong nodded clearly when he heard this, "Okay, then there's nothing to worry about, eat noodles, and when you're done eating, use Tianyantong to help me check someone." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the rental house, Ah Xing turned his head to look at it, and asked casually, "Brother Rong, wouldn't it be the charter wife who came to urge the rent?" ”

"Rush a fart, I paid a few hundred oceans of rent at once, which is enough to buy a small building, how can I come here to urge rent?"

"Maybe it's urging us to pre-pay for the next quarter."

Ah Xing smiled and walked to the door, and after opening the door, there was a strange-looking but somewhat familiar man standing outside.

He was stunned for a moment and then suddenly reacted, "You are. That Peng Yixing?! ”

Peng Yixing nodded, his eyes fell behind Ah Xing, and when he saw Zheng Jirong holding a noodle bowl in front of the dinner table, his heart instantly fell.

Finally found the organization.

"Brother Rong!"

"Ah Xing", Zheng Jirong got up and smiled and hugged Peng Yixing's shoulder, beckoned him to sit down, and asked, "How have you been these days?" ”

Peng Yixing smiled and replied seriously: "It's good, although I haven't been here for a few days, I'm more enjoyable than killing on Hong Kong Island?" ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Jirong was suddenly surprised: "Did you kill someone? Still have a good time? ”

"Yes, it's just outside the city," Peng explained, "I've heard that there is a war going on in the north, and the railways and rivers outside the city are almost all refugees fleeing these days, and the police can't control them at all." ”

"I see", Zheng Jirong nodded, he glanced at Peng Yixing, and asked casually: "Who have you killed?" ”

"Brother Rong, don't worry, I killed some bullies and bandits who oppressed the good, and those refugees themselves are poor people, how can I move them?"

Seeing Peng Yixing's hurried explanation, Zheng Jirong bowed his head slightly and said: "You are right to think like this, as the so-called brave are angry, draw a knife to the stronger; The cowardly is angry, but draws the knife at the weaker. ”

He put his arm on Peng Yixing's shoulder, looked at him and said seriously: "My subordinates must not be the cowardly. ”

"I understand!"

Looking at his determined expression, Zheng Jirong patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "You shouldn't have eaten yet, Ah Xing, you can go to the next bowl of noodles." ”

"Amount"

Peng Yixing glanced at the noodles with clear soup and little water on the table, and immediately shook his head and said, "No need, Brother Rong, I ate it on the way here." ”

Then, without waiting for Zheng Jirong to persuade him, he asked again: "By the way, since we have arrived at Shanghai Beach in this time and space, can we go back?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zheng Jirong gave him an affirmative answer, and then continued: "It's just that I still have some things to do, and I need to stay for a few more months, but don't worry, at most three months, I will definitely take you back." ”

"Since Brother Rong, you already have an idea, then I can rest assured."

Peng Yixing then looked around the living room and asked curiously: "I remember that there was a brother named Ah Miao who was also holding Brother Rong's arm at that time, why didn't he come over?" ”

"Ah Temple."

Zheng Jirong shook his head and said: "We haven't found him yet, and we don't know if this kid has gone to other places, if he doesn't in Shanghai, it will be troublesome." ”

At this time, Zhou Xingzu, who had been immersed in sucking noodles, suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, Brother Rong, there is something that I have always been very strange. ”

"What?"

"Why don't you let me use Tianyantong to find Ah Miao and them, but what kind of missing person notices are posted everywhere in Shanghai?"

“.”

Zheng Jirong was silent for a moment, he was stunned, and then slapped the table, "Damn, why didn't you talk about this good idea earlier?" ”

"Huh?" Ah Xing said speechlessly: "I thought Brother Rong didn't let me use Tianyantong, what is the deep meaning." ”

"Okay, where did you kid get so much nonsense, hurry up and use the eye of the sky to see where that guy is now."

After Zhou Xingzu muttered a few words, he put down the bowl and was about to use [Tianyantong].

Zheng Jirong at the table also stared at him intently, Xiao Zhen had already reached the waiting period, if he couldn't take Ah Miao back, wouldn't the child be born without a father, and his sin would be great.

Ah Xing raised his hands and pointed two fingers at his temples, and after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly emptied.

"I saw it!"

"Who do you see?"

"It's Brother Miao!"

"Where is he?"

"I don't know where it is, but it looks like it's in an attic, and there's a big clock next to him, huh? That's it."

"What do you see?"

"Brother Rong, I seem to have seen the Forbidden City?"

Imperial palace?

Zheng Jirong couldn't help but smack his lips when he heard this, how did this kid get to Beiping?

Just when he wanted Ah Xing to see in more detail, there was a sudden noise outside the house.

Bang dang!!

An axe smashed the glass directly and wasted it!

Ah Xing, who was exercising, was awakened in an instant, and his eyes, which were originally in a state of emptiness, came back to his senses.

"Grass!"

Zheng Jirong slapped the table and said angrily: "Go out and see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" ”

Outside the house at this time.

Hundreds of residents were sitting in the corridors, looking at the twenty or thirty men in black suits in the patio, each with an axe in each hand, looking at the residents of the walled city with unkind expressions.

The bespectacled master cleared his throat at this time, walked out from behind, and shouted to the residents: "Who is Zheng Jirong?!" Get out of here for us Axe Gang! ”

A few seconds later, seeing that none of these residents responded, the master angrily pulled out the axe behind his waist, pointed at the group of onlookers and shouted: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, right?!" You guys are trying to shield him? ”

"Let me tell you, this man named Zheng Jirong killed the second leader of our Axe Gang, and whoever of you dares to shield him is going against our Axe Gang!"

"I'll ask one last time, where is Zheng Jirong?!"

After finishing speaking, seeing that there was still no response from the audience, the master walked angrily to an aunt closest to him, he pointed at her with an axe and asked, "Hey, do you recognize that surnamed Zheng?" ”

"I don't know."

The aunt slowly shook her head and said, "I'm ploughing the fields, and I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

"Ploughing the fields?!"

The master said angrily: "Rest, you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the raised axe fell head-on towards the aunt

Bang!

In this flash of lightning, a bullet suddenly shot out from not far away, directly knocking the axe in the master's hand away!

Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Zheng Jirong bit the cigarette butt in his mouth and led Peng Yixing, Zhou Xingzu and others to stride over from the stairs.

He glanced at his master and asked lightly, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

The master glanced at him up and down, "You are Zheng Jirong?" ”

"That's right, I'm the Zheng Jirong you're looking for."

"Good! Balls! ”

The master immediately jumped back a big step, and then waved to the little brother beside him: "Up!" Hack this bastard! Avenge the second master! ”

Hearing his words, these dozens of little brothers of the Axe Gang immediately rushed up with an axe monster, but before they could rush in front of Zheng Jirong, they seemed to have pressed the pause button, and their footsteps stopped instantly!

At this time, more than ten meters away, Peng Yixing, who was standing next to Zheng Jirong, was holding a gun and staring at them coldly.

Seeing this, Zheng Jirong smiled and said: "What age do you still use axes, you have to learn to keep pace with the times." ”

"Damn!"

The master poked his head out from behind the little brother and said stiffly: "You only have a dozen bullets for a gun, but there are dozens of people here, and when your bullets run out, you will still be killed!" ”

"Really?"

Zheng Jirong smiled, groped from behind his butt for a while, and then took out a machine gun under the shocked eyes of everyone
