Biyun Temple in Xishan, Beijing, tall and solemn, dark red temple high wall, dark yellow cornices, a courtyard door, the first thing you see is the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Zhang Ade, Steward Wang and Tong Dazhong were offering incense to the Buddha in the treasure hall, and eight bodyguards were guarding the courtyard and the gate of the courtyard. Since the attack, Zhang Ade's guards have doubled when he went out.

Zhang Ade asked Steward Wang: "Have you found out where the gang came from the night before yesterday?" ”

Steward Wang said in a low voice: "Master! It was found out that it was done by the Ghost Shadow Gang, and several Oriental knives were found at the scene, one of which was engraved with the name of Duan Yong, Duan Yong is a member of the Ghost Shadow Gang, the younger brother of the gang leader Duan Zhixiong. ”

Tong Dazhong said: "One of my bodyguards has stayed in the Ghost Shadow Gang before, and he recognized that the knife was indeed Duan Yong's. Apparently it was Duan Zhixiong who spied on Gonggong Li's legacy and sent Duan Yong to attack us. We should ask President Guan of the Blue Dragon Society to give the order to wage war against the Ghost Gang and let them know how powerful we are. My brother and more than 20 family members can't be killed and injured in vain, and I heard that many people from the Blue Dragon Society have also died. ”

Zhang Ade said: "It is possible that this matter was done by the Ghost Shadow Gang, but there is another possibility, that is, the Xihe Society did it, the young man who was swallowed by us a few days ago is called Wu Chunfeng, and he is from the Xihe Society, and they have a reason to retaliate." ”

Steward Wang shook his head and said, "This is impossible, they are just a third-rate gang, how dare they challenge our royalists and the Blue Dragon Society?" Unless they're crazy. ”

Zhang Ade sighed: "It is precisely because they are a third-rate small gang that they dare not clash with us head-on, so they want to pretend to be the Ghost Shadow Gang, as for the Oriental knife, it doesn't explain the problem, there are several teenagers in the Xihe Society who used to be professional thieves of the Flying Eagle Gang, and it is not difficult to steal a knife from Duan Yong." ”

Tong Dazhong retorted: "Although the number of opponents was small the night before yesterday, they were very brave and brave, and there were a few sharpshooters among them, in just ten minutes, we killed more than 20 people, only killed a few people on the other side, and the bodies were taken away by the other party." A third-rate gang, can it be so powerful? ”

Zhang Ade smiled bitterly: "This is what I am most worried about, if it was the Ghost Shadow Gang that made a move the night before yesterday, it would be fine, if it was Xihe who would make a move, it means that this gang has great potential and must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise we will die if we become strong in the future, and we will die without a place to bury." In this case, when I go back, I will ask President Guan to send someone to sweep the territory of the Xihe Society, whether they did it or not. ”

None of them noticed that someone on the roof of the building opposite them was holding up a rifle, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at them.

Outside the gate of the monastery, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, the eight bodyguards thought it was a gunshot, startled, one after another pulled out their guns, they looked towards the gate, saw a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old setting off firecrackers, they breathed a sigh of relief, cursed a few swearing, put away the pistol.

When they turned around, they found that Zhang Ade and Tong Dazhong had been shot several times and had fallen in a pool of blood, and Steward Wang fainted in fright. Apparently the child set off the firecrackers to cover up the gunshots, and several bodyguards reacted and rushed to the door, only to find that the child was long gone. Zhang Ade was shot twice in the chest and was already out of breath, Tong Dazhong was shot in his heart and was killed, after Steward Wang was woken up, the roof opposite his fingers was trembling and speechless, and the bodyguards looked at the roof opposite, and there was no one on the blue roof tiles.

Leng Hanbing slowly walked downstairs, removed the scope on his rifle, put the gun into a sack, and walked into the flow of pilgrims on the main road.

The news of Zhang Ade's killing caused chaos in Zhang's mansion, several of his wives and concubines and children fought for the inheritance, that night, Di Xiong brought people into Zhang's mansion again, because Wu shopkeeper had bought off the chef Zhao Qi to do the internal response, the chef Zhao Qi used sweat medicine to put down the machine gunner, hid the machine gun, and opened the door for Di Xiong to lead the way, the resistance encountered was very slight, only killed eight resisting family members, and the battle ended, Hong Tianlie rushed to the front with a dismantling spear, three of the eight dead were stabbed to death by him, The rest of the family disarmed and surrendered. The Xihe Gang did not suffer any casualties in this operation, and took more than 500,000 silver dollars worth of property, most of which were easily convertible silver tickets, gold bars and silver dollars, except for a few antiques. The three machine guns and a batch of long and short guns also became the trophies of the West River Gang.

On the order of the president, the thugs of the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Society all went out to retaliate against the Ghost Shadow Gang at night, leaving only a few people to watch the gate, and they did not dare to rescue the Zhang Mansion when it was attacked again.

"Boss! The warehouse of our textile factory was burned, the fire was too big to be rescued, and it is estimated that Qinglong would do it again. Koji Kawashima reported to Ichiro Yokota.

Yokota Ichiro said: "Why do you think that the green dragon will do it?" Just because recently the Blue Dragon will make trouble on the territory of the Ghost Shadow Gang? ”

In recent days, there have been large-scale firefights between the two largest gangs in the capital, first the casinos, brothels and smoke houses under the Ghost Shadow Gang were smashed and looted and burned by the people of the Blue Dragon Society, and then the Ghost Shadow Gang retaliated and smashed and burned the territory of the Blue Dragon Society, and the two gangs had to fight bloody weapons on the streets of Beijing every day, with heavy casualties, and the police station and the gendarmerie were also alarmed, although the police chief Zhao Bingjun and the commander of the gendarmerie had a relationship with the two gangs, but the matter was so big that they still had to go out to suppress it, and as a result, many members of the two gangs were put in prison. Including Guan Rongting, the president of the Blue Dragon Society, and Duan Zhixiong, the leader of the Ghost Shadow Gang.

Koji said: "I led the factory security team to have an exchange of fire with the arsonist, and killed one of the arsonists, and found a tattoo of the Green Dragon on the left arm of the corpse, you should know that this is the tattoo that every member of the Blue Dragon Society has." ”

Yokota Ichiro was silent for a moment and asked, "What has been the recent movement of the West River Society?" ”

Hao Er said: "The Xihe Society has been renamed the Justice Party and the Sharp Knife Society, and our eyeliner gray wolf has also become a small leader of the Sharp Knife Society, Di Xiong has recently been very generous, buying a large number of machines from Britain and Germany, spending hundreds of thousands of oceans, opening an iron factory and a pharmaceutical factory, hiring several British and Germans as consultants, recruiting a large number of workers, and increasing the number of armed personnel from more than 20 to more than 100. ”

Yokota Ichiro was surprised: "This guy has so much money? Could it be that it was Di Xiong's gang who attacked Zhang's mansion? What have been the recent changes in the low-profit textile factory? ”

Hao Er said: "Not only did it not stop production, but it increased the machinery and increased productivity, but the cotton cloth produced was put in the warehouse and not sold, but the workers' wages were a lot, and they were paid on time, and overtime pay was also increased, so no workers left." On the contrary, because of the unpaid wages on our side and the chaos caused by the Qinglong Society, another group of workers went to work in their factory, and even Bian Zhimei took the opportunity to escape. ”

Ichiro Yokota said, "Why are you in arrears? Are you deducting wages again? Didn't I say that? Now is the critical time for business wars, don't arbitrarily deduct workers' money! ”

Koji complained bitterly: "There is really no money in the factory, and the dumping of cotton cloth at a low price has caused the East Asia factory to lose a lot of money; The Blue Dragon Society made trouble, smashed a lot of machines, and the repair cost was a lot of money; The profits handed over to the Black Dragon Society cannot be less. Where is the money to pay salaries? Boss! This business war should be over, otherwise the low-profit company has not collapsed, we will collapse first, and then the warehouse has burned, and we have no cotton to dump. Many merchants have begun to secretly increase prices, and after the news of the burning of warehouses spreads, they will rise even more. ”

Ichiro Yokota smashed a teacup to smash and said angrily, "Eight grids! Losing to a Chinese person, I'm not reconciled! ”

Hao Er said: "Otherwise, let's find a few professional killers to do Di Xiong, as long as Di Xiong dies, the company will be finished." ”

Yokota Ichiro shook his head and said: "It's not yet this point, you let the insider inquire about what kind of machine Di Xiong bought, if necessary, we can report it and let someone from the police station deal with him." ”

Nankou Town is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by high mountains and steep walls, only the east and west two Shaanxi valleys can enter and exit, Di Xiong stood on the top of a high mountain, called Huangcaoling, facing the morning spring breeze, looking at the trail of the valley below. I thought: "No wonder the Northwest Army chose this place as the location of the decisive battle more than ten years later, with hundreds of thousands of troops in the Zhilu Fengjin Quadripartite Alliance, as well as the absolute superiority of the Japanese aircraft and artillery, but it took three months to take Nankou and lose more than 20,000 people, while the defenders of Nankou were only 30,000 at that time." ”

Di Xiong decided to set up a checkpoint at Huangcaoling.

Leng Hanbing was also in the pine forest on the top of the mountain, practicing marksmanship with a group of new members of the company's security team. After obtaining the property of Zhangfu, Di Xiong began to recruit troops, recruited more than 100 young and strong people from the Hebei refugees who fled the famine, and the security team was expanded into a security brigade, with five squadrons, a total of more than 150 people, and a security squadron was stationed in the textile factory, iron factory, pharmaceutical factory and restaurant of the company of Weili, and there was also a mobile squadron, which was directly managed by the captain Leng Hanbing. Di Xiong trained the team members in the same way that the special police were trained in later generations, and the methods were very harsh, and some people were constantly eliminated and some were newly recruited. The guns used by the new team members are all just produced by the ironwork factory, which is divided into two floors, the upper part of which produces broadswords and farm tools, and the basement produces rifles, grenades and bullets. Dichon also wanted to produce machine guns and light infantry guns, but this required more money, and he couldn't get it for a while, so he had to wait for the next opportunity to make a fortune.

The recruit's marksmanship was very poor, and bullets flew everywhere, but there was a strong man with a beard who stood out for his marksmanship, and he hit three ten rings in a row, which caused everyone to applaud, and Di Xiong also noticed him.

Di Xiong called Leng Hanbing over and asked, "This guy is a little familiar, what's his name?" It's not like a refugee. ”

Leng Hanbing said: "His name is Ma Tiehan, he was originally a disciple of Jingwumen, after Huo Daxia's death, Jingwumen broke up, he became the small leader of the Blue Dragon Society, when he first joined the Blue Dragon Society, he also went to the Weili Hotel with the leader Bald Head to collect protection money, when he started, the leader Bald and the other three were knocked down, only he insisted on resisting, and finally the boss You personally took action, and it took more than a dozen rounds to put him down." He offended Wang Mazi, the vice president of the Blue Dragon Society, and was often bullied, and in a fit of anger, he took a dozen brothers to join us, and he made a contribution when he first came, and the warehouse of the East Asia Factory was burned by him with the old department of the Blue Dragon Society, and only one brother was killed. ”

Di Xiong said: "How did you get in touch with him?" ”

Leng Hanbing said: "Li Fei found it through a friend, it turned out that he just wanted to hire him to burn the warehouse, but who knew that he brought someone to come over." Of course, he also made a request at that time, that is, he hoped to save his senior brother Liu Zhendong from prison. ”
