mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 116 It's Not That Simple

Li Jindou used to be a coolie who helped people transport goods, and he met a group of friends who were also coolies.

They started by stealing, and then slowly developed into finding faults and fighting and then robbing.

Even, there is a stolen gun in his hand, but it is just hidden in the luggage outside.

Originally, this group of people were very brave and fierce, and they succeeded a few times, so they couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

When I stayed at the hotel this time, I found a group of people dressed neatly, looking like rich people.

I couldn't help but move my mind, deliberately find fault, and want to blackmail a sum of money.

Unexpectedly, he was stupefied, he just found a fault with him and directly attacked.

The accomplice wanted to help out, but it turns out that they are "standard weapons", all hand axes, so they don't look like ordinary people, okay?

For a moment, everything was suppressed.

Gao Li single-handedly swaggered over and pulled out the ax that was stuck on Li Jindou's chin. There were still bone stubbles on the ax...

Like the Northeast, Hebei at this time is also full of bandits.Those who can't survive become bandits, and those who are lazy also become bandits. At most, bandits may account for one-third of the total local population.

Li Jindou was in terribly painful pain, and felt ashamed, so he felt ruthless, wanting to draw a knife from behind and desperately.

The moment Gao Li made a move, the ax directly hit his celestial cap.

The ax didn't pull out, and then he took out the bayonet and stabbed him at a speed so fast that only the afterimage of his movement could be seen.

Cold weapon close combat, Gao Li usually practiced the most ruthless, these are professional, direct, efficient, and ruthless.

The others were stunned and watched Li Jindou fall down helplessly, not daring to move.

Suddenly another resident screamed, and Gao Li turned her head to look coldly, but the person's voice stopped with a "crack", as if her throat was stuck.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Okay, you guys come here and kneel down. Today, including the boss, no one is allowed to report to the official. When we wake up at dawn tomorrow, you can report to any official you like. Where to report it. No one should be fooled around, the end is predictable."

Sure enough, no one dared to make a sound, and there was no sound at the scene, and needles could be heard.

The group of people immediately knelt down and knelt on the ground.

Liu Guigui took out the rope, cut their hands and legs behind them, and made them lean against the corner of the wall.

After the meal, Zhao Chuanxin and others went back to the house to rest, leaving one person to watch the first half of the night, and the second half of the night would be changed.

Li Guangzong and Liu Baogui shared a room, because they could chat best.

Li Guangzong's face was still pale, and he couldn't sleep.Even though he had seen blood and blood in the Northeast, the hand-to-hand combat that happened right under his nose still shocked him.

"Precious, does the insurance team usually kill people like this without blinking an eye? Usually I see everyone laughing and joking, don't they seem like cruel people?"

Liu Guigui almost fell asleep just now, but was woken up by Li Guangzong's words.

He pondered for a while and said: "In the early days, everyone was afraid. Later, I didn't feel it anymore because I killed a lot. Gao Li was the most ruthless one. His old mother was harmed by a gangster. This kid has been in trouble since then. There are no smiling faces anymore, but for those who are extremely vicious, no matter whether he makes a move or not, he must kill them quickly in his heart."

This reminded Li Guangzong of the secrets that Zhao Chuanxin had told him.

Harmful, it seems that I am really not the one who fights and kills, but Wang Chaodingge, how can there be no one who is not dead?
It's better to be a dog's leg for Mr. honestly... Ah no, let's be a housekeeper.

Zhao Chuanxin slept soundly, and woke up in the morning full of energy.

Except for the insurance team, everyone else in the inn is terrible. Everyone has dark circles under their eyes.

In the dining hall, there was also a dead man lying in a pool of blood.

The boss is worried, if this word gets out, will anyone dare to stay here in the future?

In the whispers of those people, without thinking, another ghost story is about to take shape.

Zhao Chuanxin did not make things difficult for him, and asked Li Guangzong to give ten silver dollars: "Find someone to clean it up. This is for your mental damage. If you want to report to the official, you can report to the official. Maybe we will kill the carbine and come to find it." Let's settle the accounts."

The old man's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shook his head: "No report, I promise not to report to the official."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Those who scare you, report it casually, it doesn't matter, we are leaving."

With that said, a group of people rode away.

All the way smoothly, there is no government to stop people halfway.

Er Fatty's small eyes shined brightly: "It seems that it is good to go outside this pass, and enter the world of flamboyance as you like."

He shot the foreigner and killed a ruffian in public, but nothing happened.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. It is said that Cixi's daily expenses are around 3 taels of silver. How much do you think it costs? How much tax does the Qing government collect in a year to make her such a disaster? Many places In fact, the Qing court has lost the most basic control of military power."

Liu Guigui was taken aback: "3 taels a day? Does she eat silver? You can't eat that much even if you eat silver."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "The rumors are all rumors."

Talking and laughing along the way, we arrived in the capital.

He thought the capital was so prosperous, but when he entered the outer city, Zhao Chuanxin frowned when he saw the muddy dirt road full of feces and urine.

This is so fucking dirty.

This is the capital?
It is said that it was the same in Europe a long time ago. The city was full of feces and urine, and there was no place to step down.Those aristocratic ladies in long skirts would never walk where the poor lived.

It's such an age, no wonder everyone wants to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "It's precious, you take someone to check out the location and see the banks of foreigners. Let's act tomorrow and go to Tianjin immediately after finishing the ticket."

Yes, that's right, Zhao Chuanxin came this time to rob foreigners' banks.

At this time, there are no innocent people in foreign banks.

They are all built with the footsteps of intruders and are tools for financial invasion.

There was no news until the next day.

There are two clear targets: HSBC and Sino-Russian Bank.

HSBC is a typical bank established by the British Empire specifically for the invasion of China. It was established in Hong Kong in 1864 by the Scot Thomas Sutherland. Up to now, it has thirty or forty branches in China.

The Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, although its name is composed of China and Russia, was actually jointly funded by Russia and France. In the 27th year of Guangxu, the Qing government allowed the Qing government to deposit 500 million kuping taels of silver to receive dividends.

The two banks were sure to be right.

Liu Baogui described the information he had inquired one by one: "There is an embassy circle in the east of the capital. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, they established embassies there one after another. They were all built there. I mixed in and found that there were many policemen and gendarmerie from the six countries patrolling there.

When he said this, Zhao Chuanxin's dusty memories immediately emerged.

Isn't that where the later Dongjiaomin Lane was?
At present, it is full of embassies of various countries, and the dignitaries and capitalists of various countries come and go, so it must be tightly guarded.

I, Cao, originally thought about robbing and leaving in a rough manner, but now it seems that it has become a technical job.

If one is not good, I am afraid that the insurance team brought here will be killed or injured.

Zhao Chuanxin likes to grab money from foreigners, but he has to take the lives of everyone in the insurance team seriously.

Liu Guigui began to retreat: "How about we go to Tianjin to have a look first, and if not, go straight to Shanghai."

Those military, police, and military police were fully loaded with live ammunition. If a fight really broke out, everyone would be surrounded immediately.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and asked: "So, if you shoot, how long do you think it will take for the police or patrolling gendarmes to arrive?"

Taking out his pocket watch and looking down, Liu Baogui said uncertainly, "Maybe 5 minutes to 10 minutes."

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his long hair: "I'd better go and see for myself before deciding."
