Agents of the Republic of China

This winter is destined to be the most difficult for Zhang Xiaolin.Even Zhang Xiaolin himself wondered if he was really old after his trip to Suzhou failed.A batch of gold made him easily fall into this trap, which was not considered clever at first. After knowing that the batch of gold was owned by the Japanese, Zhang Xiaolin wanted to get out several times, but faced with Wu Sibao's coercion and lure, he A compromise was chosen, and it turned out how stupid this compromise was.

From the very beginning, Wu Sibao was prepared to use himself as a shield, everyone was happy when he got the gold, but he could only get a part of it; if he couldn't get the gold, he had Li Shiqun as his backer, so he could easily get out of the predicament.The current result is undoubtedly what Zhang Xiaolin is most unwilling to see and fears the most. He has no choice but to find that he has become an abandoned child.

After learning that some of the subordinates who participated in the operation were captured by the Japanese, Zhang Xiaolin used all the connections he could use. He tried his best to mediate this matter, and for this, he threw countless money and treasures.Finally, Commander Mido of the Gendarmerie agreed to intervene in this matter, and promised to bring this "event based on misunderstanding" to a "decent ending" as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaolin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The many days of running around had made him exhausted physically and mentally, but he did not relax because of this. After all, he had been in the arena for many years, and he would never give up because of someone's vague promise. All bets were on the line. During this period, he gathered his family wealth, handed over part of the gold and silver to his reliable confidants, and secretly sent it to Hong Kong.Zhang Xiaolin also contacted Wan Molin, hoping that he would do him a favor for Du Yuesheng's sake. In case of trouble in Shanghai, he hoped to go to Hong Kong for a while.

Wan Molin fully agreed and said that he would immediately contact Du Yuesheng who was far away in Hong Kong.

It wasn't until all these arrangements were made that Zhang Xiaolin really put his heart back into his stomach.New Year's Day is just around the corner. According to the usual practice in previous years, the heads of Shanghai business circles and Shanghai gangs will go to Zhang Xiaolin's mansion in Huagebei Road to meet Zhang Xiaolin early in the morning on New Year's Day. Don't pay too much attention to it. On New Year's Day, if someone comes to your door, just let Zhang Xiaolin's disciple greet him, and don't throw a big feast to attract attention.

But Zhang Xiaolin doesn't think so. What he thinks is, the more it is at this time, the more he must show the style of the Zhang Mansion, so that everyone in Shanghai can see that Zhang Xiaolin has not fallen, and he will not fall, and his Zhang Mansion will remain the same It is the focal point of the whole Shanghai.

Therefore, on New Year's Day, Zhang's mansion was cleaned up, and the disciples and children stood at the door early in the morning to welcome guests and friends from all walks of life.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there were still not many people coming to the door, and there were not many important people. Most of them were people from the world who lived under Zhang Xiaolin's wings. None of the Shanghai business circles and gang leaders showed up. This made many students start There was a lot of discussion.

When Zhang Xiaolin got the reward, he also felt something was wrong. He was frightened and immediately ordered his two bodyguards, the Russian Ivan and Liu Jian, who was nicknamed the monkey, to distribute weapons to his confidant guards, asking them to be vigilant and respond to possible threats at any time. danger.Originally, he had the "Four King Kongs" under his command, but Ah Wu in Changshan died in the hands of Fatty Shen, and the monk died in Lin'an.

The unusual behavior of the guards aroused everyone's speculation. Seeing that the momentum was not right, some guests who had already come to the door hurriedly wiped their feet, including some of the guests who were attached to Zhang Xiaolin also disappeared.Those who remained were Zhang Xiaolin's old team for many years and his in-law Yu Yefeng.

But the scary thing is still to come. After a while, a series of bad news came one after another. Zhang Xiaolin's smoking dens, restaurants, and brothels located in the French Concession and the Public Concession were raided at the same time. ; The headquarters of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association was raided, and the Japanese Gendarmerie was responsible for the execution, and some secret account books were also found; Zhang Xiaolin's disciples were arrested one after another, and his influence in the Shanghai gang was immediately wiped out; The warehouse was seized, and a large amount of tobacco, opium, and goods were seized. Among them, a batch of arms was also found, which proved to be the same as the weapons that appeared in the Suzhou robbery.

After hearing this series of news, Zhang Xiaolin was already slumped on a chair, and all his subordinates were in panic all day long.Just as Yu Yefeng was about to step forward to offer a few words of persuasion, outsiders came to report: Captain Mi Duo of the Gendarmerie, Dazuo Yazawa of the Special High School, and Director Li Shiqun of No. 76 came to visit.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhang Xiaolin one after another. Zhang Xiaolin stood up abruptly, pointed to a group of crying and noisy children, wives and concubines at the door, "Get out, get out, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaolin seemed to calm down all of a sudden. He straightened the collar of his mandarin jacket, turned his head and said to everyone, "Let's go, meet the guests in the front hall!" There was a tremor in his voice.

The entire Huagebei Road has been blocked.Yazawa Shinichi and Miduo led a brigade of Japanese military police, accompanied by Li Shiqun, into Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Xiaolin led the doorman to the front hall. Seeing the Japanese soldiers with live ammunition standing all over the courtyard, Zhang Xiaolin's heart sank to the bottom. He looked to the side and gestured to Ivan and the monkey.

Yazawa, Miduo, and Li Shiqun came to the hall, looked at Zhang Xiaolin coldly, and did not speak.

Zhang Xiaolin tentatively approached Miduo, "Master Miduo, how many of you are here today...?"

Miduo had a gloomy face, "I believe Boss Zhang already knows. We have found evidence of secret contacts between you and the anti-Japanese guerrillas. Today, we are asking Boss Zhang to go to the gendarmerie. There are some things that need you to explain clearly."

Zhang Xiaolin was startled, "This is all framing and framing. The imperial army occupied Shanghai. I was the first to organize personnel to meet them and help the imperial army stabilize the situation in Shanghai. I also established a promotion association to help the imperial army raise military supplies. ...".

Yazawa interrupted Zhang Xiaolin's words, "This is even more terrifying. Boss Zhang actually used this method to gain our trust. His heart is damning!"

Zhang Xiaolin still didn't give up, he lowered his voice and said to Miduo: "Master Miduo, didn't you promise me to give this matter a decent ending? You still accepted...!"

Miduo stretched out his hand and looked at Zhang Xiaolin with contemptuous eyes, "Decent, the most decent way is to kill Boss Zhang yourself, but I waited for several days, and Boss Zhang didn't move at all. I'm so disappointed! But It's not too late now, as long as Boss Zhang is willing, I can convince Yazawa-kun and Li Sang to wait for you for a few minutes!"

Zhang Xiaolin's eyes darkened, and he almost fell over. He stared at Miduo with his blood-red eyes, and Miduo turned his head away, not looking at him again.

"Li Shiqun!" Zhang Xiaolin pointed at Li Shiqun and yelled, "You and Wu Sibao did all the good things, but you let me take the blame for the best things. Don't even think about it. Without Ji Yunqing and me, would you have the power you have today?"

Li Shiqun replied slowly: "Mr. Ji gave me a dream the day before yesterday, saying that he was very lonely down there. So today I came here to send Boss Zhang down to accompany him. Let's get on the road early so that Mr. Ji won't have to wait a long time, Boss Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaolin clenched his teeth, blood slowly oozing from the corners of his mouth, his face was as pale as paper, and he nodded slightly at the monkey.

The monkey rushed forward, strangled Mido's neck, and immediately pressed the gun in his hand to Mido's temple.

"Don't move, put down the gun for me!"

Mido was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted at his men, telling them to put down their guns.

Yazawa looked at the monkey contemptuously, as if looking at a mortal man, and waved his hand to tell everyone to put down their guns.

"Boss, hurry up, as long as Ivan and I are here!" the monkey shouted.

Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly nodded and agreed, and took Yu Yefeng and a few others to rush to the backyard.

Yazawa shouted, "Today we only arrest Zhang Xiaolin, as long as other irrelevant people kneel down and surrender, we will definitely not make things difficult, including Zhang Xiaolin's family!"

The crowd was cut in half, and everyone squatted down, only Monkey, Ivan and a dozen bodyguards were left to confront the Japanese soldiers.

Yazawa raised his eyebrows at the monkey, "What about you?"

Monkey shook his head, "Boss Zhang saved my life, I can only..."

With a "bang" gunshot, the monkey's body shook, a hole was opened in its head, and it fell down in a flash. Before the other bodyguards could turn around, they were immediately knocked down by Japanese soldiers.

Ivan blew on the muzzle of the gun, and said a blunt Chinese to the monkey on the ground, "It's so pedantic!"

Yazawa asked someone to look after Miduo, while Li Shiqun walked up to Ivan and nodded, "That's right, I didn't waste my money!"

Yiwan lowered his head, "Of course, you are my new boss!"

Zhang Xiaolin, two bodyguards, and Yu Yefeng ran to the secret passage in the backyard. This was dug up when the Zhang mansion was built, and it led directly to the back alley of Huagebian Road. A car with full gas was parked in the secret passage.

The four of Zhang Xiaolin pushed open the door of the secret passage, hurriedly got into the car, and drove along the secret passage.

But as soon as he walked out of the secret passage, the bodyguard who was driving slammed on the brakes.

Zhang Xiaolin was about to curse, but when he looked up, he was stunned. The street in front of him was already full of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition. When the officer gave an order, the soldiers raised their arms, and the black muzzles of their guns pointed directly at Zhang Xiaolin and the others.

Yu Yefeng burst into tears, and grabbed Zhang Xiaolin's arm, "Dear family, tell the Japanese quickly, let's not run away, let's surrender."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaolin's thoughts were all hopeless. He looked at Yazawa and Li Shiqun who were slowly walking out of the crowd, his eyes blurred for a moment.

He suddenly thought of the time when he first came to Shanghai. At that time, he didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes, but every day seemed so happy; , At that time, it was the peak moment in his life. Although he always wanted to surpass himself at that time, but now he realized that he was only having a dream.

Yazawa's hand dropped, hundreds of guns spewed out flames, at that moment, Zhang Xiaolin suddenly remembered what Du Yuesheng had said to him.

"We people are nothing more than a chamber pot in the eyes of those in power. If we need you at night, we will take you out and use it. When we don't need you, he will think you are smelly and wish to stuff you under the bed. , or throw it far away, or simply replace it with a new one!"
