【386】Tram transporting gold bricks

The gold bricks were snatched by Miller and the others, but not willingly given away by Long Hao!

Long Ganruo cried so loudly that Major General Miller couldn't help but frown, secretly saying that this person doesn't know what is good and what is wrong, is it because he is sure that he is eager to remove the gold bricks and dare not deal with him?

However, just when Miller was still hesitating whether to make extra troubles, and hoped to make people concoct Long Ganruo, the reporters in the yard also rushed out with their cameras, and quickly occupied all the good spots for taking pictures. location, and took a picture of this scene of 'local tyrants and bullies robbing gold bricks'.

The actions of the reporters happened to wake up Major General Miller from the joy of winning the gold brick: Yes, I almost forgot, these reporters can make up things, but the photos must be confiscated, not a single one will be kept!Otherwise, if you let it out, you won't be able to shirk it, and there will be more vultures who smell the fragrance and come to share the meat!Annoying will be annoying!

Major General Miller, remembering that he wanted to deal with reporters, immediately snorted, and ordered: "Confiscate their cameras! This is a secret operation of the military department. You reporters, you don't know what is good or bad. These cameras will be let to your newspaper's staff afterwards." The boss comes to the pier to pick it up!"

It's not what it used to be, and Major General Miller's order received a lot of positive responses: Come on, so a big gold brick has already been obtained, so what's the point of beating up a reporter and grabbing a camera in order to get more points?Even if we were asked to shoot and kill people, we would do it for the shining and heart-warming gold!Besides, we are killing people for the federal army, who can convict us?

It was with this in mind that the dog legs that had been suffocating for a long time burst out. They roared like a hungry tiger descending the mountain, opened their arms, and surrounded the reporter who came out of the yard like an eagle catching a chick!

A fast dog leg.An old punch opened first, knocking a thin reporter to the ground, and snatched the bulky camera with his hands, but didn't bring it back, but directly threw it on the ground, and stomped hard with his feet.Go stomp!The fists were sharp and the footwork was superb, which made the overturned reporter cry with distress. Regardless of the pain, he kicked, jumped up, and bit off the dog's calf...

With the first one, needless to say the rest of the scenes, reporters who are used to being the uncrowned king these days would never have thought that Miller would be so shameless.He actually ordered to come and grab his camera and beat him?Caught off guard, more than half of the reporters were beaten to the ground in the first wave of shock, and most of the cameras in their hands were also damaged, falling to pieces!

But not all reporters are powerless to resist. For example, some reporters who appear to be from the San Jose Mercury News seem to have expected Miller to order them to move them. Before the dog legs moved, they stopped first. took a photo.He turned around and ran out, shamelessly throwing out many small dollar bills while running.It makes the top of the head like a goddess scattered flowers, which is very eye-catching.

At this scene, not only the dog legs were stunned, but the surrounding people were also stunned: These reporters are awesome, with change in their pockets, could it be that they have long expected this disaster?Or.Their professional habits determine that they are always ready to... escape?

After being dazed, the people who were nearby couldn't resist the temptation of US dollars. Although the denomination is small, it is still money that can be spent!

What if you don't grab it?

Ever since, a group of neighbors rushed up.Immediately, the dog legs were separated from the few journalists who were distributing money. Those who picked up money picked up money, those who chased people chased people, and those who hid... made the scene quite chaotic!

On several tall buildings facing the consulate compound, a member of the SS put down his gun and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no need to shoot for protection. This is a scuffle with no rules at all... ...It's hard for Lord Long, the crying sound is so loud, it's earth-shattering, and it's all properly transmitted here!"

After saying this, there were a few muffled laughs echoing from the side.

"What's so embarrassing for him? If the young master sees his acting skills, he will score 10 points at most!" A cold snort came from the side, but it was Gao Tianyang, who only heard the head Gao snort: "You don't have to be nervous. The mission is not to ensure that no one dies, as long as the damage is kept to a minimum, the mission is completed! Hehe, the residents of this Chinatown also need a blow to wake them up!"

At the gate of the Qing Consulate, the situation suddenly became a little out of control because of the few journalists throwing banknotes. Although the number of dog legs was overwhelming, the British sailors rushed to help, but it was still not enough. These reporters are as slippery as loaches, and they disappear in a while!

Major General Miller was so angry when he saw this, he called several profiteer leaders, and scolded: "Look at your subordinates, a bunch of rabble, rich and hungry! Think about it carefully, who can give these escaped reporters to the police?" I got it back, I want today’s photos, and even half of them won’t show up in San Francisco!”

Major General Miller got angry, and the leaders of several profiteers all hung their heads and did not dare to say a word: We are profiteers, and our subordinates are not mobs, are we still veterans?You are a general, you have received professional military education, why didn’t you expect this situation in advance, in retrospect, you don’t have the ability to clean up the mess, why are you playing with your prestige, announcing an arrest order in public, if it’s us, it’s definitely It is to find an excuse, such as inviting them to a teahouse for tea or something, and when the time comes, they will gather together and take it together...

These profiteers are constantly slandering, but they really can't come up with any decent solution: Your uncle, everyone has slipped away. San Francisco is so big, who can block it?

The profiteers were dripping sweat, and Major General Miller was roaring with his mouth open. At this moment of 'crisis', a middle-aged Chinese man with a shiny braid showed his head and interjected: "Master General, I have a way Catch these reporters and promise not to let half of the photos inside leak out!"

"Well, who are you?"

Major General Miller took a breath, and seeing a Chinese at a glance, he couldn't help but look down with contempt: Where did this person come from?As for the guard, why is there no one stopping him?Hey, what a mob, it's unreliable!

"Hehe, the younger one is Hong Zaigen, and he's from the Chinese Association."

The middle-aged Chinese man rolled up his sleeves and smiled obsequiously, and soon someone beside him whispered to Miller, explaining the identity of this Hong Zaigen.

Hong Zaigen contributed a lot of manpower and material resources to this anti-Earl parade, and those leaders of foreign profiteers also valued it very much, and they also raised their heads at this time.Speaking for Hong Zaigen: "This Mr. Hong is quite powerful in Chinatown... Moreover, most of the packages we send out from San Francisco are carried by his subordinates..."

This statement was extremely implicit, and it could be translated directly: as long as those reporters did not leave Chinatown, Hong Zaigen would have the ability to find them out and hand them over to Miller, even if they did leave Chinatown.If you want to send the photos, you have to pass the hurdle of Hong Zaigen. Hongmen, who controls most of the coolies who carry and deliver, wants to intercept a package, which can be regarded as sprinkling water, and it is easy.

Miller quickly understood, so he changed his eyes, looked at Hong Zaigen who was expecting and bowed, and said, "You are very good. Do what you can, and when it is done, I will give it to you." want!"

After hearing this, Hong Zaigen looked like a wild dog rewarded with fleshy bones, his face was overjoyed, and he said quickly: "Yes, yes! Thank you General for giving me this opportunity, and I will definitely try my best to do it. .Guaranteed not to disappoint you!"

After speaking, Hong Zaigen turned around and went to issue orders.As soon as he heard a word from him, those confidantes in the Hongmen immediately took action, and scattered from the gate of the consulate in all directions, like falcons coming out of their nests to hunt for food.

When Hong Zaigen's confidantes went to arrest those reporters who slipped through the net, the smashing and looting at the gate of the consulate courtyard came to an end, leaving behind a lot of beaten journalists and smashed cameras.Parts rolled around all over the floor, and some of them were picked up by bold children, and they were worn on their fingers as rings to play with.

"Okay, find a car and take this big gold brick away first!"

Major General Miller frowned.Still focus on the most important trophy, the big gold brick. This is a big guy weighing 20 tons. As soon as I started walking, I was as tired as a dead dog exposed to the hot sun, lying on the ground and sticking out my tongue!

For a moment, Major General Miller suddenly complained to Long Hao: "Come on, 20 tons of gold nuggets, how did you transport them?"Why didn't you even leave the car?How does this allow me to transport it back to the pier and put it on the boat?

Looking for a car?

Those profiteers sat on the wax again: they came to parade, and stopped by to see if there was a chance to take advantage of the gold bricks, but they didn't prepare any cars!Besides, this thing is heavy, 20 tons, it can't be pulled by an ordinary car!

At this moment, Hong Zaigen, the new dog leg, is still considerate and useful, he leaned over and said: "My lord general, there is a small car, but you have to wait for a while, it will be here soon."

"Okay, wait! You are able to do things very well, much better than them!"

Major General Miller looked at Hong Zaigen with admiration, and a smile appeared on his face, and Hong Zaigen did not disappoint his new master after receiving praise. It only took more than 20 minutes, and there was a burst of yelling from outside the crowd: A large car was pushed in from the outside with a whimper.

The Chinese onlookers looked at it and almost cried out: This car is so familiar, could it be the tram at the entrance of our Chinatown?

Damn, that bastard Hong Zaigen actually tore down that car?

This is a means of transportation that we often use when we travel, and when it was opened, everyone donated money, so you can demolish it as soon as you say it, and do you still pay attention to our neighbors?

Abominable!

"Hey, that's our tram! Stop your hands and stop pushing!"

"That's right, don't go where it was demolished! You still push it? Are you really shameless?"

"Hong Zaigen, who gave you the right to dismantle the tram? If you want to curry favor with the foreigners, just poke your ass, don't bully the neighbors!"

……

With the yelling from upstairs and downstairs on both sides of the street, all kinds of sundries, such as melon seeds, orange peels, vegetable leaves, etc., were thrown towards the tram in the center like a rain, causing more than a dozen people driving , Hong Zaigen's confidant who was pushing the cart was really embarrassed: This is like parading around the street, Mr. Liu, you have made us suffer!

Hong Zaigen was by the side of Major General Miller, seeing this situation, his complexion must have been unsightly, but he had no choice: if he wanted to drag such a heavy gold brick away, ordinary carriages were not enough, and the only way was to use a The tram made of steel at the street crossing was detached from the track and pushed over to bear such a heavy gold brick!

Hmph, it's just a tram, as long as I can get the appreciation of this major general of the military department, I will have the financial support of Mr. Kant and the military assistance of this major general when Long Hao is captured.Are you afraid that Hongmen will not be unified?Have San Francisco in your hands?Thinking this way, Hong Zaigen hardened his heart and gave an order to his confidant: "Shoot me, and anyone who dares to obstruct the progress of the tram will be killed by me!"

The confidant next to him was startled: "Sixth son, those are neighbors, shoot? No. Not good?"

Hong Zaigen glared: "I don't know them yet? Just shoot, and they will naturally silence when they hear the gunshot! Three aunts and six women know that nothing is worth their lives, don't they?"

Confidant A sighed in his heart, then bent down to deliver the order.

It has to be said that Hong Zaigen was very accurate about the context of these neighbors and folks. After a few "bang bang" gunshots, the shells and peels of the melons were as clear as the rain.It stopped all at once.

The residents of Chinatown who were frightened by the gunshots gave way. On the street outside the consulate, ten good horses were dragging a tram with ropes. Pushed vigorously by a dozen Chinese men behind, Speed ​​up and head towards the big golden brick at the gate of the courtyard.

Although the speed was not fast, it was enough for Miller to transport the big gold brick back to the port.

"Hong. You have a good brain, and you can come up with such a method!"

I saw that the unbelievably heavy big gold brick was already being carried onto the car.Major General Miller's crooked mouth opened into a big laugh, and he patted the flattered Hong Zaigen on the shoulder, praising him again and again: "Although you are Chinese, I am optimistic about you. When this matter is over, are you interested in coming to the military headquarters to help me?" ?”

"Ah. Thanks to the general, but I still have my father at home. I'm afraid..."

Hong Zaigen was taken aback, quickly declined, and cursed in his heart: What can help you?I have a great inheritance here to receive.How can I have time to be your dogleg for a lifetime?Go away, you bastard!

Fortunately, Major General Miller's words were also polite. Seeing Hong Zaigen's refusal, he didn't say anything. Instead, he got on the tram, inspected the gold bricks himself, and then waved his hand and announced: "That's it, let's go, let's go back to the commercial port!"

Miller and his party lined up for the return journey, and Long Ganruo's unsatisfactory howl was left at the gate of the courtyard: "Oh my God, is there any reason? The gold bricks of the young master, the gold bricks that saved the young master's life were just taken away by them! Robbers, people from the Ministry of the United States are big robbers! Huh, and Hongmen, are you still our compatriots who are connected by blood? If you don’t stop the foreigners from moving the gold bricks, you even have your car ready Mr. Hong, Mr. Fang, why don't you come out and stop it..."

However, no matter how miserable Long Ganruo was crying, the consulate officials next to him, and the neighbors upstairs and downstairs who were frightened by the gunshots all responded to all this with indifferent eyes, only a very small number of them were younger. Yes, only now and then a raging flame burst out from the pupils of the eyes...

Gao Tianyang sighed at the high-rise sniper spot: "Gaozi's performance is considered qualified, hey, these 'backgrounds' are really heartbreaking!"

A group member next to him asked puzzledly: "Gao Tuan, do you want to order to shoot? It's a bit difficult for our ten groups to keep the foreigners at the bottom, but it's not impossible!"

"What shot?"

Gao Tianyang chuckled, "Everything is under the young master's control, but this way of transporting the gold bricks is a bit unexpected...Actually, just to make you feel at ease, the gold bricks are heavy, but they are not as heavy as the gold bricks." Wan Jin is such an exaggeration!"

"what?"

Another member of the regiment put down his gun, turned around and asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

"You will know after reading it. Wait a little longer, and the good show will start..." Gao Tianyang smiled playfully, "It's a pity that the big car we hid next to it, it seems that the foreigner's investigation work is really not good. It's worth mentioning that such a conspicuous car... Well, maybe there are too many people in the neighborhood, maybe it's blocking it."

"Gaotuan, just let them go like this? Even if the gold bricks are not heavy, they are still a lot of money, and they are just given to foreigners for nothing?" A member of the group was still unconvinced, and said: "Also, that Hongmen is really Let us be disappointed, even if that Hong Zaigen is making a fuss, won't the top leaders intervene?"

"Why do you care so much? The young master can make up his own mind about Hongmen's affairs!" Gao Tianyang patted the member on the head and scolded with a smile: "Follow the plan, and when there will be a big commotion, you all give me [-] points Spirit, try to minimize the damage to the old, young, women and children!"

Under the tall buildings in Chinatown, the tram was only loaded with the gold brick, but even so, the wheels were crushed extremely flat, so there were no people on it, but a mixture of people and horses. Pulled by power, it moved slowly on the narrow streets, surrounded by a mixed formation of British sailors and profiteer dogs.

The tram moved very slowly, and after about 10 minutes, it turned a corner, leaving the Qing Consulate behind it in the pile of old papers in sight.

Major General Miller walked in the front, and he felt like he had won the number one prize. He pulled a float and straddled a horse to parade. It also reflects a golden light called 'facai'.

The reason why Miller is said to have the demeanor of "the number one scholar" is because on both sides of the tram, the residents of Chinatown are still reluctantly following. They are naturally not thieves who have encountered injustice and want to take back the gold bricks and return them to Long Hao. It was because the doors of the tram were open, and they felt that if they looked at the light reflected from the extraordinary stone, they would get rich and lucky in the coming year!
