20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 114 Chain Reaction [Thanks to the leader of Storyteller 811 for the reward]

In the past few years, the life of Lao Yanpao and Tie Gaoda has been quite tight.

After the war, everything was in ruins and the living people had just breathed their last. How could they have the leisure to care about the funeral affairs of the dead?
Fengtian Province is facing the New Deal again, and local government offices have been reorganized, split and reorganized. Various new departments have sprouted like spring grass, making it dizzying to see.

Although the New Deal is good, it is ultimately a tree without roots.

The common people have no idea what the buildings are for. They only know that when they meet the officials, they still kneel down and shout "Master", and the old wine in a new bottle still tastes the same!
In addition to "abolition of imperial examinations", "banning foot binding" and "restricting tobacco use" among the new policies of the imperial court, there is another item in various provinces and regions, which is to strictly control hygiene.

Patrol police went to the streets to strictly inspect the citizens. Urine and feces were not allowed to be poured on both sides of the road. Rice was not washed and washed near the wells. Stinky water from dyehouses was not allowed to be dumped indiscriminately. The slaughterhouses and slaughterhouses were moved outside the city, and the execution grounds were moved out of the downtown area.

No sick pork is allowed into the city, and dead bodies are of course only allowed out but not allowed in.

In the past, once it was time to turn on the lights, the whole city was filled with just a few watchmen and night watchmen, which was convenient for concealing their presence.But now, at night, when the street lights are bright and there are many police patrols, it is really difficult to fish in troubled waters.

Although control is not strict in the countryside, farmers often have the will but not the money.

Lao Yanpao and Tie Gupao's business was hampered by this.

Fortunately, these two people don't just make a living in this business. They also sell some wild goods, fake medicines and other things on weekdays. The origins of most of them are unknown, but they are small businesses, which are not very exciting. , and kept thinking about doing it again.

Just at this time, a friend from Youya Shop told me that someone in Fengtian was willing to pay a large price to buy the corpses of two young men.

Lao Yanpao was a little hesitant at first. Fengtian was not far, but it was not close either. The most important thing was that how the body could be transported into the city was also a problem.

The person from the tooth shop said, "You don't have to worry about that. The buyer will have his own solution. Just send the freight over and they will pick it up when the time comes."

The old smoker asked who the buyer was?

But the people at the dental shop just shook their heads, clearly unwilling to reveal anything, and said, "If you can take this job, I'll give you a deposit of ten yuan. If you can't take it, I'll find someone else!"

Seeing Qian's eyes wide open, Tie Gadao immediately nodded in agreement, and then followed Lao Yanpao around to look for a new grave, wishing that their back feet would be dug open as soon as they were buried.

The buyer clearly wanted the corpses of two young men, but these two men took the two old men to Fengtian.

That person asked, isn’t this seeking death?
Whoops!
Digging graves and stealing corpses is really the most eccentric way of doing things. There is always a buyer first, and then the bad guys do it.

This is not like buying pork on the street. There is no such thing as being picky. Unless you simply buy a murderer and kill someone, and use the living to match the dead, how can there be so many good ones?
It is often brought before the buyer, and if it is almost the same, forget it. If he says he doesn't want it, the seller will just let it go, throw the body away, and forget about it.The buyer asked them to take them back and pay more. The reporter had absolutely no idea. Digging graves and stealing corpses, buying and selling two houses, were all serious crimes.

Having said that, Lao Yanpao is also a little worried.

People who buy corpses usually buy them for young masters in marriage, so they usually buy female corpses, but now the buyers want male corpses, which makes people a little suspicious.

But money can blind one's eyes, and every time Lao Yanpao hesitated, his hand would unconsciously reach into his pocket. As soon as he touched the hard silver dollar, all worries were gone.

At this moment, the uncle and nephew happened to come to a piece of wasteland near the Guangci Temple of Fengtian South Pagoda. They hitched the donkey cart and began to wait for the buyer to come.

Little did Lao Yanpao know that the buyer was Man'er, the big man in the world, the "Owl of the Sea" from Fengtian.Otherwise, even if he had [-] more courage, he might not dare to take on this job.

As a foreigner, of course he didn't know what changes had happened in Fengtian Jianghu in the past few days.

……

……

Let's talk about this, we have to fall forward.

Let's say that three days ago, Wang Yanzong helped Jiang Chenghai break out of the siege in front of "Woyun Tower". Knowing that he could not escape the blame, he simply went to "Huifangli" to have a good drink. In less than half an hour, he was arrested. He was escorted back to the camp and met with Commander Chang of the Central Road.

Commander Chang was furious, but he did not immediately implement military law.

how?
It turns out that the Japanese are tyrannical in Fengtian, and not only the people are angry, but the local government has also been dissatisfied for a long time. The patrol bureau, consultation bureau, negotiation bureau, commercial port bureau, all walks of life, everyone is angry!
Although the Qing court was weak, the soldiers had a bloody spirit, especially the patrol battalions, which had a lot of beards and acted recklessly.

As soon as something happened on Wang Yanzong's side, all walks of life in Fengtian immediately joined forces to support him, hoping that the case would be dealt with lightly.

For a moment, Commander Chang was in a dilemma, and scolded him fiercely.

"That's fine, you boy! Go out there and be a hero, you're so damn famous, you're throwing me into a corner!"

Wang Yanzong was still drunk, so he forced his eyes open and said swayingly: "Commander Chang, you can be called a hero if you shoot a Japanese? Then he is a hero!"

"Then what do you want?"

"I think so!" Wang Yanzong held the corner of the table and swayed with his feet, "You have to kill at least [-] Japanese to be called a hero, right?"

"Fart! You are so fucking capable, why do you still need to stay here?" Commander Chang slapped the table angrily and scolded, "You mobilize your troops privately to shoot the Japanese. Do you know how big a crime this is?"

"Probably this big!" Wang Yanzong gestured with his hand, "A little bigger, this big!"

"Wang Yanzong! You are a soldier now! Not a bandit! You must obey orders!"

"I obey! Commander Chang, didn't you agree before to let me lead people to help Zhou Yunfu? Our patrol camp has the duty to maintain law and order!"

Commander Chang looked embarrassed - he had also benefited from Zhou Yunfu, and he was not completely unaware of this matter.

"I asked you to bring a few people over, but you brought a dozen people! Also, when did I ask you to kill the Japanese?"

"Just kill him! Shouldn't he be killed?"

Dare to speak like this, it is said that banditry is hard to change, and it is also the most fundamental problem in the Fengtian Patrol Camp - in name, this is an army, but the internal high-level officials are mixed with too much Jianghu spirit and brotherhood. .

"Wang Yanzong, I want to solve the problem with you now. Look at your attitude!"

Wang Yanzong laughed naively, but said: "Sir, you don't have to be embarrassed. Isn't it easy to solve the problem? I'm not the one with that problem!"

"Go away!" Commander Chang waved his hand impatiently, "Don't fucking hang around in front of my eyes! Come to me when you sober up! Before that, cancel the military affairs, dismissal and investigation!"

Commander Chang did not touch him easily.

Firstly, Wang Yanzong does have two tools to lead the troops; secondly, all walks of life in Fengtian have given collective support, and whoever wants to touch him now will probably become a public enemy immediately; thirdly, whether this incident is a merit or a fault, it seems at present , it’s really hard to say!
The fact is as he expected.

The Fengtian Negotiation Bureau quickly intervened, and based on the case, started negotiations again on whether the Japanese had the right to deploy police.

The "black hats" left the Southern Railway annex and overstepped their authority to enforce the law, which was a mistake in the first place.

One Japanese soldier died and the patrol battalion removed one police officer. This was enough tolerance.However, the Japanese have always been unreasonable and have to defend themselves. They insisted on demanding huge compensation, sealing up "Woyun Tower", ordering the case to be investigated quickly, and warning the Qing court that if another Japanese factory worker was killed, he would be punished. The garrison must be dispatched to defend itself.

The sovereignty lost on the battlefield could not be regained even if the words were worn out, so the Negotiation Bureau had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, "Woyun Tower" is a smoking den, so it's not a pity to check it.

Zhou Yunfu had no choice but to spend 5000 yuan to settle the matter.

Bai Baochen was not very satisfied with this and went to Miyata Ryuuji again and again, hoping to take the opportunity to completely eliminate Zhou Yunfu.

But how could the owner listen to the dog?

In the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese also suffered a tragic victory and their vitality was severely damaged. They did not want to expand the situation infinitely, thus disrupting their plan to encroach outside the customs.

If they are still alive and kicking, then outside the pass will not be as simple as a annex. I am afraid that the entire Liaodong will dare to rob it.

It is said that after the Japanese won the war, they once asked Mao Zi for compensation of 30 billion taels with a big face.

Tsar Nicholas was so angry that he yelled: Damn you, you are such a weakling. You really treat me as Cixi. Do you want money? If you don’t accept it, you will continue to do it. This is the real thing.

Only then did the devil give up.

This is the general trend, it goes without saying.

Let's say that Zhou Yunfu paid 5000 yuan to the Japanese, and also wanted to give benefits to the patrol camp to maintain relations. The "Woyun Tower" was sealed, and the New Deal banned smoking, and it was difficult to start a new business. Since then, the tobacco business has been discontinued, and his strength has been reduced by more than half. Suddenly people were panicked.

Han Ce was so frightened that he asked for a countermeasure. The old man lay on a wicker chair, smoked two large cigarettes, and pondered for a long time, but finally said something confusing.

"Nephew, go out and buy me some newspapers."

"Newspaper?" Han Ce looked puzzled, "What newspaper do you want?"

""Shengjing Times"." Zhou Yunfu sighed, "In short, buy back all the newspapers you can buy."

"Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yunfu had a splitting headache. He closed his eyes tightly and stretched out his hand to gesture in the air, as if he was trying to catch something.

"If you still need to raise money, go find Jiang Chenghai, Xu Ruqing, and Chen Wantang to find me. By the way, send some more people to my side!"

"Let them come here?" Han Ce was a little worried.

The two of them were in a secret house in the south of the city. Except for a few close men and an old woman who took care of their daily life, there were no outsiders.

Zhou Yunfu hesitated for a moment, shook his head, but said: "Let them all go to Jiang Chenghai's house. Remember, they can only go by themselves! You can bring enough people yourself! Can you understand?"

Han Ce nodded firmly: "Uncle, if I still can't figure this out, I might as well stop messing around."

"Yeah." Zhou Yunfu said weakly, "You have to be smarter!"

Han Ce held the old man's hand and whispered: "Uncle, don't worry! Don't worry! I'll do it right away!"

……

……

"Clack cluck, cluck cluck!"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the wasteland near Guangci Temple of Fengtian South Tower.

Lao Yanpao and Tie Geda were sitting in the shade of the tree. When they heard the noise, they immediately raised their necks and saw a 20-year-old young man wearing a blue silk and satin short coat rushing towards them in a hurry.

Tie Liaoda quickly stood up and patted his butt.

The old smoker also rolled up his pipe and pot, covering the sun with his palms, looking forward and muttering in a low voice: "So young? It doesn't look like that!"

While he was talking, the young man had already rushed over to the horse. He tightened the reins with one hand and the horse neighed and stopped immediately.

"Hey! Which one did you eat?" The young man did not dismount.

Lao Yanpao's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists and said: "Yin Men's stupid idea, little brother, you are the one..."

Jiang Xiaodao patted his chest and said with a smile: "That's right, Brother Donkey!"

I didn't use my real name for fear of leaking information.

Tie Qiaoda was a little dissatisfied on the side. He curled his lips and asked, "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"You bastard!" Lao Yanpao cursed sternly, and hurriedly smiled at Xiaodao, "Master, don't be offended, my stupid nephew has never seen the world, he has a gun in his head, and he speaks rashly!"

"Stop talking nonsense and inspect the goods!"

"At this?"

Lao Yanpao looked around. Although there was no one in this place, it was still broad daylight, so he was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of!" Jiang Xiaodao pointed to the firewood on the donkey cart, "Move it down and let me take a look!"

Lao Yanpao and Tie Geda looked at each other and felt guilty. After all, they were bringing two old men. If they didn't want them, they wouldn't be able to blackmail them, so they made up a lie with a smile.

"Master, it's not good for things to be exposed in broad daylight. How about you find a place first and we can inspect the goods?"

Jiang Xiaodao was dissatisfied, but his father had specifically told him to buy corpses and replace them with others. The lower the profile, the better. Don't be arrogant, lest another wave arise after another.

You can never create another trouble just to solve one trouble!
After much thought, Jiang Xiaodao had no choice but to turn his horse's head.

"Okay, come with me!"
