Chapter 332 Everything is ready
"Jingshu, what kind of clothes is this?"

"kimono."

"........."

Liang Hao was puzzled.

Jingshu said, "Brother Hao, listen to me. Yuntu is 80 cents per ounce, and there are 100 kilograms in total. But the goods are not here. They are on Sidao Street. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a few Japanese ronin will come to find you and say that Lao Er from the dock introduced them. Then you go with them and meet Liu Yidao..."

"You wait!"

Liang Hao interrupted the conversation: "Jingshu, what are you talking about? You are talking about all sorts of things, I don't understand a word you are saying."

Jingshu also felt that what she said was too general, so she recounted the whole story, and finally warned: "Brother Hao, this is your only chance, don't mess it up."

Liang Hao nodded slowly: "That is to say, you asked Miss Bai, and Miss Bai asked someone else to set up a trap. When Yagi Xiu and Liu Yidao fought, I took advantage of the chaos to escape."

Jingshu said, "Yes."

Liang Hao frowned: "I said I have 100 kilograms of opium, didn't Yagi Xiu doubt it?"

Jingshu said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard from Xue'er that Lao Er was a spy who specialized in gathering information for the military police, and Yagi believed in Lao Er's judgment."

Liang Hao said "oh", thought for a moment and asked again: "What about Liu Yidao? How did he know that Yagi Xiu would come to Kudang Lane today? Was this also arranged by Miss Bai in advance?"

Jing Shu said helplessly: "Brother Hao, why are you so confused? Who is Bai Xue? She is the daughter of the police chief. She can find anyone to get things done."

Liang Hao agreed. With Bai Xue's identity, there was no need to say it explicitly. Just a hint from Director Bai's confidants would make this a very easy thing to do.

……

It was just after four in the afternoon.

Horse Market Street.

Jiqingfang brothel.

In the room, Liu Ming was hugging a white goose prostitute who was about 30 years old, and his hands were caressing her restlessly. The two of them were joking and playing, one speaking Chinese and the other speaking goose language, which didn't seem to hinder their communication.

"Master Liu, the wontons are ready."

The big teapot Xiaoliuzi said outside the door.

Liu Ming said, "Send it in."

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Liuzi came in with a tray in his hand, put a bowl of steaming wontons on the table, and said attentively: "Master Liu, it's just out of the pot, please be careful of the heat."

Xiao Liuzi was very angry after being slapped in the face by Sato. Liu Ming beat Sato in the street to vent his anger.

Xiao Liuzi was grateful to Liu Yidao, who was willing to fight to the death.

Liu Ming picked up the spoon, took a sip of wonton soup, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's so cold, we need something hot."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Liuzi and said, "Why are you here in the backyard instead of working in the front yard? This is not your job."

Xiao Liuzi said, "Master Liu, there is no work for me later. I came here to tell you something - that old guy Sato is here again."

Liu Ming frowned: "Where is he?"

Xiao Liuzi said, "He went to Kudang Lane. It's not just him, there are more than ten of them. Yamu is here too. Master Liu, please be careful. I think they are probably coming for you."

Liu Ming sneered: "Come for me? These idiots really only care about food and not punishment. They are itching for a fight and come to ask for a beating again!"

——Jiqingfang is the only way to Kudang Lane. When Xiaoliuzi is free, he usually stays at the door to greet customers. It is highly likely that he saw Yagi Hide and his gang.

Even if Xiao Liuzi happened to miss it, others would tell him because there was a Sato who slapped Xiao Liuzi in the face for no reason.

According to the rules of the underworld, the Fujia Dian area is Liu Ming's territory. When Yagi Hide came to Mashi Street to trade, conflicts between the two sides were inevitable.

All of this is under Qi Yue's control.

……

At this time, Yagi Hide and his gang came to Kudang Alley and traded on someone else's territory. Although they were outnumbered, they were still a little nervous.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and suddenly a dozen Japanese ronin appeared. The special forces members who were monitoring nearby couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

The private sale of opium was a shady business. Yagi Hide became alert when he noticed someone was secretly watching. He suspected that Liu Ming's men were among them. "Are we there yet?"

Yagi Hide asked Sato.

Sato walked quickly to the door of Liang Hao's residence and looked at the mottled house number carefully for a while: "No. 71, Kudang Lane... This is it!"

Yagi Hide made a gesture.

Sato reached out and knocked on the door.

After a while, Liang Hao, wearing a kimono, opened the door: "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Liang's home?"

Sato was very polite.

Liang Hao said: "Yes."

"Who is your Excellency?"

"I am Mr. Liang."

Sato stepped forward and said in broken Chinese: "Lao Er from the dock introduced us here. I heard you have opium to sell."

"Come in and talk."

Liang Hao let the two of them into the house.

The others waited outside.

Yagi Hide was worried about something going wrong and was eager to complete the deal. As soon as he entered the room, he said, "Mr. Liang, I want all your goods."

Liang Hao said: "The goods are not here."

Yagi Hide asked: "Where is the goods?"

Liang Hao said: "Four Streets."

Yagi Hide said: "Can we trade today?"

Liang Hao asked, "Did you bring the money?"

Yagi Hide said: "Of course."

Liang Hao said: "It can be traded."

Yagi Hide said: "As for the price..."

Liang Hao said, "The price is fixed, 100 cents per ounce, a total of jins, guaranteed to be authentic Yuntu, you are all experts, you can inspect the goods when the time comes."

Things went so smoothly that Yagi Hide was very happy: "Very good, Mr. Liang is straightforward, and so are we. Deal!"

In black market transactions, it is common to separate people and goods. After all, it is an illegal business, and one must be especially cautious when it comes to drugs to avoid being caught with both the person and the goods.

Including Yagi Hide, a dozen Japanese ronin, surrounded Liang Hao and walked out of Kudang Alley and headed towards Sidao Street. Sidao Street is very close to Mashi Street, only about 20 minutes' walk away.

Yagi Hide was in a good mood, and he chatted as he walked: "Mr. Liang, you are not Japanese, why are you wearing a kimono?"

"The kimono looks nice, I like it."

Liang Hao said perfunctorily.

Yagi Hide said: "Mr. Liang, we get along very well. If we can make this deal, I think we will become friends. You have the source of goods, and I have the channels. If we join forces, Liu Yidao will have nothing to do with Binjiang's underground opium business, haha."

Liang Hao echoed.

He is observing his surroundings.

Jingshu's words made a lot of sense, but they were just empty talk after all. As long as there was a flaw in any link, Liang Hao would fall into the hands of the enemy.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

All the conversations with Yagi Hide were taught by Jingshu one by one. She also told Liang Hao that as long as these Japanese ronin had a conflict with Liu Ming, he should find an opportunity to run to Sidao Street.
