Chapter 10. Wu Shopkeeper Secret

Di Xiong walked into the office, and the shopkeeper Wu followed behind, and asked in surprise, "Do you really want to kill them?" Isn't this what black shops do? ”

During the Beijing mutiny last month, Mr. Wu took leave and went home, unaware that five Beiyang soldiers had been killed in the hotel.

Di Xiong said viciously: "If I don't do this, my fate may be the same as Boss Zhu, do you want me to become the second Boss Zhu?" To ordinary people, we are innocent restaurants, and to wicked people, we are black shops. In a place like Beijing, where tigers and wolves are rampant, if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless. ”

After about ten minutes, Leng Hanbing came in and said, "Boss! Those four have already done it. ”

Dichon noticed a drop of blood on his cold shoes.

The four Beiyang soldiers who caused the destruction of the family to the former Boss Zhu were easily solved in the hands of Di Xiong.

Di Xiong took another silver dollar scroll, handed it to Leng Hanbing and said, "Very good, this is you and Hong Tianlie, one and a half." ”

Leng Hanbing waited for Shopkeeper Wu to leave Di Xiong's office, and saw that Di Xiong was the only one inside, so he whispered, "Boss! This shopkeeper Wu has another identity, a Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple. ”

Di Xiong looked up at Leng Hanbing and said coldly, "You followed him?" ”

Leng Hanbing said: "I see that he and the boss often talk about the "Book of Ink", the talk is very speculative, the boss trusts him very much, in case he is an undercover agent of other gangs, it will damage the association a lot, so I paid attention to him a few times, on the third night of the hotel's opening, he took some leftovers from the hotel kitchen and packed them in a food box, and took them to Qingyunguan in Dasheng Lane, half a mile away, Qingyunguan is very dilapidated, there are four Taoist priests with yellow faces and thin muscles, and he is very happy to see him deliver food, a Taoist priest in his twenties called him uncle, and said, never come again, They were about to starve to death, and there were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old Taoist boys, and a Taoist priest in his fifties lying on the bed, very sick, as if he was dying. ”

Di Xiong said: "It's not surprising that the Book of Ink was originally one of the Taoist scriptures, and other places have been lost. It is normal for Mr. Wu to be a Taoist priest. Don't follow him anymore, if he finds out, he'll think I don't trust him anymore. ”

Leng Hanbing showed a disappointed expression and said coldly: "It seems that I am nosy." ”

Di Xiong smiled: "You are vigilant, this is an advantage, but also worthy of encouragement, the company needs a talent like you, can nip the internal enemy in the bud, and when the company is larger, the supervision department will be established, and you will be the first department manager." ”

Leng Hanbing said without humility: "Thank you boss for your appreciation!" ”

After Leng Hanbing left, Tian Mengxue knocked on the door and came in, and said to Di Xiong: "The two people you asked us to check last time have already been found. ”

She put the two photos in front of Di Xiong and said proudly: "Fei Bao and Gou Zongwei took a few remnants of the Flying Eagle Gang and defected to Sun Jingfeng, the bandit leader of Yanshan Motianling. Fei Bao became a small boss under Sun Jingfeng, and he knew from his conversations with others that he always remembered you and wanted to seek revenge on you at any time. Give the bounty! ”

Di Xiong opened the drawer, took out a red paper envelope rolled into fifty silver dollars, and handed it to Tian Mengxue, Tian Mengxue was the first time to get so much money, and she took it in surprise. Dichon asked, "How many people are there in your flower shop now?" ”

Tian Mengxue smiled: "Do you remember that flower shop!" I thought you were a big boss now, but I forgot about it, in addition to Shi Lan and Ai Yun, from the perspective of safety, I recruited another guy named Shi Zhu, who is Shi Lan's younger brother, and there are four people including me. ”

Di Xiong said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the flower shop that only spent thirty yuan at the beginning could actually feed four people, you still have some ability, but now that the society is chaotic, our Xihe Society has offended a lot of gangsters, although I am not afraid of their retaliation, but if they know that you are my subordinate, they are likely to attack you and the flower shop." You carry these things with self-defense. ”

He pulled out a pocket Browning pistol and three nozzles and placed them on the table.

Tian Mengxue picked up the pistol, skillfully pulled off the bolt, put it in her carry-on bag, and looked at the spray pipe: "What is this, what is it for?" ”

Di Xiong said: "This is a nozzle, but also for self-defense, the spray in it is ether, extracted from alcohol, can cause people to a coma, because of limited funds, temporarily can't take out too much money to buy a gun, can only use a nozzle instead." Most of the brothers in the meeting also used knives, sticks and nozzles. ”

Tian Mengxue put the three nozzles into her bag and said happily: "I am much more relieved to have a gun and a nozzle, a few days ago, a bald fat man brought a large group of green-skinned men to buy flowers, and he did something to Xiao Yun, which really scared me." ”

"It's not absolutely safe to have a weapon, if the other party is too strong, you can give up the flower shop and run away, your life matters, understand?" Dichon Road.

After Tian Mengxue left, Di Xiong asked Bai Xiuling to invite the shopkeeper Wu Zhong and said to him: "The Book of Ink is one of the Taoist scriptures, you know so much about the Book of Ink, it should have something to do with Taoism, right?" ”

Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The boss is really sharp-eyed, and he can see that I have indeed been a Taoist priest before." ”

Di Xiong said: "I don't have sharp eyes, I said it coldly, let me state first, I didn't send him to follow you, it was he who was curious and followed you to Qingyunguan privately." ”

Wu Zhong said: "What the boss said, I naturally believe it." I have been a Taoist priest in Qingyunguan for ten years, because of war and drought, Qingyunguan pilgrims are getting fewer and fewer, I really can't live, so I have to come out to mix a bowl of rice to eat, once someone introduced, in Duan Qirui's minister's house as a staff, but Minister Duan's family has too many staff, the infighting is terrible, I was finally squeezed out, when there is no way out, Zhu Boss took me in, and I was a shopkeeper in Zhu Ji Hotel, and the money I earned was given back to some Guanli, and I can't forget my roots. ”

Di Xiong said: "Tell your senior brother and nephew to come to the hotel, don't wait for death in Qingyunguan, the hotel is not short of their food and drink, of course they have to do things." ”

Wu Zhong said: "My senior brother is the master of Qingyun Temple, if they all come to the hotel, won't Qingyun Temple give up?" ”

Di Xiong smiled: "I can't even save my life, what's the use of having a broken view?" The place could not be escaped, at most it was occupied by some refugees or beggars to sleep. I heard that your senior brother is seriously ill and needs to spend money to buy medicine, so you can pay in advance from the account first. ”

Wu Zhong's eyes were red, and he was very moved: "I thank the boss for his great kindness on behalf of Senior Brother Qingmo." ”

Di Xiong said: "It's just a trivial matter, I read that today's "Beijing Daily" said that because of the war and drought, the number of refugees who went to the capital to find work or beg increased by several thousand every day, and dozens of people died of cold and starvation every day. It's a pity that I have limited ability and can't help too many people. ”

Wu Zhong said: "Yes! Because there are too many refugees, it has become more and more difficult to work, and some Japanese yarn and textile factories in the suburbs of Beijing have very low wages and very bad working conditions, and they should have closed their doors, but because a large number of refugees entered the factory, the factory was suddenly full again. Let these Japanese bosses make a lot of hard-earned money for nothing. ”

Di Xiong said: "In Yanshan Town, Changping County, there is a Japanese-owned East Asia Textile Factory, which belongs to the East Asia Textile Company, and the general manager is called Yokota Ichiro, who often uses his power to spoil beautiful female workers, and the stewards and factory guards under Yokota Ichiro also follow the same example, and most of the female workers who work in the East Asia Textile Factory are unkempt and shabby, because they are afraid that they will be insulted if they dress up beautifully. ”

At No. 21, Lane 12, Xihe Street, that is, the Liangjin courtyard across the street from the Weili Hotel, more than 20 members of the action group were training, some were practicing martial arts, some were practicing target shooting with pistols, and of course they were all equipped with silencers when shooting. Seeing Di Xiong come in with a bag of things, everyone stopped and saluted Di Xiong.

Hong Tianlie asked curiously, "What did the boss bring?" ”

Di Xiong opened the baggage, inside are three one-meter-long javelins, all of which are made of pure iron, he said to everyone: "This is called a dismantling javelin, suitable for street fighting, but also suitable for bayonets on the battlefield, the head and tail of each javelin, have a screw interface, screwed together, is a three-meter-long spear, because the bayonet is longer than the rifle, it takes a big advantage, for people who are good at throwing javelins, just throw them as javelins, and it is not hindered by carrying them on the back, before the other party rushes up to the bayonet, he has been subjected to three rounds of javelins, The people who lost at least half of them, which were originally one-on-two, became one-on-one. ”

Leng Hanbing said: "In the case that we don't have many guns and ammunition, this javelin is indeed a very good substitute, and some fights can't use guns at all." ”

Zhang Hei took a javelin and looked at it, and said happily: "This thing is good!" The last time I did it with those green skins, if I had this thing, I wouldn't have been hurt, but there was only one set? Will you give it to me first? ”

Hong Tianlie snatched it and said to a black face: "Of course it's for me first, I've been good at using long guys before, and the team leader Leng Dumb is a sharpshooter, of course he won't use this." ”

Di Xiong smiled: "You don't have to rob it, I ordered a total of ten sets at the blacksmith shop, and only one set was ready, and the other nine sets can be delivered in three days." ”

Di Xiong thought of not only street fights, but also wanted to send a batch to Feng Jishan, Feng Jishan's later Northwest Army often had to use a big knife to kill the enemy because of the lack of guns and ammunition, if you use a more lethal dismantling javelin, you can greatly reduce the casualties of the Northwest Army, but the cost of this thing is too high, it is impossible to give it away completely for nothing, I don't know if Feng Jishan can afford his price.

At this time, Du Yongzhong ran over from the hotel and said to Di Xiong: "Boss! I can be regarded as finding you, Boss Li of Nankou Yarn Factory is here, it is the shopkeeper Wu who invited him to talk to you about buying a textile factory, the shopkeeper Wu can't find you, he is sweating profusely, I guess you are here, hurry up. ”
