20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 372 Beauty Pass, Military Kiln

This woman is so beautiful.

This woman is like a steel knife hanging from her heart!
You see her, her eyes are like a clear pool, the wind ripples kissing the shore; you see her again, her temples are like a smoke cage, the mist locks the cold river in the autumn moonlit sky.

She is the medicine for lovesickness, and she is the courage to kill!
If your mind is not disturbed, you are not a hero! Her heart is in chaos, all because of her happiness, anger, sorrow, greed, anger, stupidity and resentment.

Under the pomegranate skirt, the hero is short of breath and the man is dreaming!

Knowing that she is frivolous by nature and a disaster for beauty, but the world is falling in front of her eyes, she is no match for four words - willingly!
If a hero is not evil, then he is a dead hero; if a beauty is not obscene, is she a clay beauty?
I can only sigh that after meeting each other for a moment, I suddenly looked back and saw nothing...

……

The violin sound that suddenly stopped in the restaurant gradually started to sound again.

Jiang Lianheng pressed Chuanghu and looked at the empty stairs. After a while, he turned around and grinned: "This is my fucking enemy from the previous life!"

Zhao Guoyan woke up from his reverie, was stunned for a moment, and quickly persuaded: "Brother Dao, don't be like this, why do you keep looking at other people's wives?"

Jiang Lianheng said: "That's it, let's go to bed early!"

Chuanghu has never been so excited as he is today. After finding out the couple's daily routine from Zhao Guoyan, he was eager to give it a try.

The next morning, the salty sea breeze raged in the city.

"Are they called long faces and square heads?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

This circular turntable square is the heart of the city.

Chuanghu curled his lips, but said: "You're talking about someone else! Aren't your eyes straightened too!"

After walking forward for a while, when we were about to reach the goods storage area, two young people suddenly walked towards us on the roadside.

One has a long face like winter melon, and the other has a square head with bean curd.

"Hey, okay, okay..." Jiang Lianheng responded in a daze, "He is indeed an extraordinary person, and he must have extraordinary looks. Look at his square head. He grew up sleeping on bricks when he was a child, right?"

The two people started from the center of the square and headed east, towards the port terminal.

Not to mention others, even Chuang Hu, who has seen the big world, was still seduced by others just now.

The two of them laughed and thought that their boss was humorous and approachable.

This is indeed no wonder Jiang Lianheng.

Zhao Guoyan and Chuang Hu shook their heads in unison.

It was Xifeng who answered the phone and chatted briefly. On the first day after sneaking into Dalian, the Jiang family was calm and no one seemed to notice in Fengtian City.

Jiang Lianheng came here and planned to meet the Hu bandits, so he asked them if they knew Li Zheng.

"It's more appropriate to call them by their names. You can also call me winter melon or fermented bean curd." Zhao Guoyan greeted them, "You two, call me boss!"

Despite this, Jiang Lianheng was still a little worried.

Opposite the hotel is Yokohama Shokin Bank, on the left is the British Consulate and the Police Department, on the right is the Civil Affairs Bureau, and further in is the headquarters of Nantetsu Co., Ltd.

After all, the guest rooms in the hotel are self-contained and are new brick-concrete buildings. Different from the courtyards of deep houses, there are no thick beams, no yards connected to each other, and no cornices and tiles. If you want to hide in them without being discovered, It is really difficult to reach the sky.

"Brother Dao, these are the two boys I brought here." Zhao Guoyan introduced, "This is the long face, and this is the square head."

The three of them had breakfast and followed the plan last night.

Jiang Lianheng waved his hand, pushed it away, and said in a low voice: "Guoyan, you bring those two brats, and I'll disappear first. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the dock first to see where Li Zheng and the others are. Not here. Chuanghu, go listen to those two people tonight, is there anything wrong?"

Chuanghu didn't take it seriously, as he seemed to have experience with this.

Zhao Guoyan continued to introduce that these two people were originally porters at Yingkou Pier. They had a dull temper and strong arms, so he recruited them to his side and occasionally ran around for trivial matters.

Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan left the Yamato Hotel, crossed the road, and came to the bronze statue in the main square.

The three of them got up and went back to their rooms one after another. Before heading upstairs, Jiang Lianheng didn't forget to go to the front desk and ask for a phone call to make sure his family was safe.

At this time, the waiter in a white shirt came over and informed the three that the restaurant was about to close and asked them if they wanted to order anything else.

Jiang Lianheng said happily: "Chuang, you should be fair."

In order to help find out the direct lineage of Master Rong Wu, the two of them worked on the dock for a month.

Hearing this, both of them shook their heads helplessly.

"Brother Dao, that's not what I meant, but -" Zhao Guoyan was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "We only have two trips in total, to Yingkou, you take Mrs. Qiao back; to Dalian, If you try again - who does my sister-in-law think I am!"

"Boss!" The two shouted in unison.

When we reached the horizon and began to see seabirds circling around, several steel cargo ships and simple port cranes in the distance also came into view.

……

"You think too much."

When the sky was dim, Zhao Guoyan got up early and went out to make corresponding arrangements. It was not until six or seven o'clock that he returned to the hotel with a chicken coop blown by the wind and met Jiang Lianheng and Chuang Hu in the restaurant. Meet.

Afterwards, Jiang Lianheng walked up the stairs. His room was clearly on the third floor, but he unexpectedly stopped for a while in the corridor on the second floor, looked around, and touched the gun in his arms.

All in all, almost all of the most important places in the city are located near here.

……

……

There are so many porters on the dock that even those who have worked together in the same crew may not remember each other's names.

Jiang Lianheng reminded: "They should be different from other porters. They all come in groups. If I remember correctly, they are a group of people under the direct control of the little devil."

Sai Dong Gua and Dou Fu looked at each other, seemed to have remembered something, and then said to each other: "There is such a group of people, there are quite a lot of them, but they don't usually work with us."

Zhao Guoyan answered and asked: "Can you two sneak in now and help the boss ask about the situation?"

Saidonggua thought for a while and said, "It should be easy."

Dou Fu also nodded and said: "Although we are two groups of people, we are all on the dock, so someone should know us."

"Then stop fucking around here and go quickly!" Jiang Lianheng urged, "Just say, 'La Man'er is here, and the trolls are waiting for the noise.'"

The two of them responded, immediately turned around, and walked quickly towards the port.

Jiang Lianheng had nothing to do and planned to go to the goods storage area to sell idiots. I never thought that the Japanese had very strict management of ports, freight, and warehousing. Without receipts, they were not even allowed to get closer.

However, this is not a big deal, because not far from here is a train station dedicated to transporting bulk goods.

Looking up into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of many of the goods on the carriage.

Glistening black coal, mountains of iron ore, and giant timber that only two or three people could barely wrap around...

As far as the eye could see, the wagons were filled to the brim, repacked, and transported to freighters one after another, then turned around and shipped to the East.

Jiang Lianheng smacked his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and murmured to himself: "These goods will be worth a lot of money if sold to us."

"Brother Dao, what did you say?"

The sea breeze was so strong that Zhao Guoyan could not hear clearly.

Jiang Lianheng shook his head, but he changed the topic and asked: "Is there a restaurant nearby? Find a place to sit for a while!"

The two walked into a Japanese restaurant not far away, sipping sake and chatting, while looking out the window from time to time.

The two cubs Zhao Guoyan brought from Yingkou had been there for a long time.

After Jiang Lianheng was full of wine and food, and smoked three more cigarettes, the two of them returned from the port. Zhao Guoyan called the two people in through the glass window and asked them if they had found Li Zheng.

Dou Fu sat down, nodded and said, "After asking for a long time, I finally found it."

"Where is that person?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

Saidonggua responded: "My boss, he said he can't leave now. He asked you to wait. He will try to see if it can flow out when it gets dark."

"Where are they working now?" Zhao Guoyan couldn't help but frown.

It's weird to think that a group of gangsters who kill without batting an eye are actually treated as living laborers.

The two shook their heads, but said: "There is no work now, and their gang is resting. It seems that a ship is coming later, and it is very important for them to unload the cargo, so they can't go out."

After Jiang Lianheng listened, he glanced at the time in the store.

Although it was still some time before dark, I guessed that the distance from here to the Yamato Hotel would be a struggle to go back, so it would be better to just stay and wait for the news.

The four of them simply ate their dinner in a Japanese restaurant.

In the evening, the golden waves rolled slowly, and seabirds circled and sang in the sunset.

The glass windows seemed to be like paintings hanging on the wall, and the port was no longer as busy as it was during the day.

But at this moment, accompanied by a loud and somewhat harsh whistle, a Toyo cargo ship flying a plaster flag slowly moored into the Dalian port.

When Jiang Lianheng and others walked out of the restaurant, the sea water had turned purple, and night fell slowly.

"This should be the boat Li Zheng was talking about." Jiang Lianheng muttered.

Zhao Guoyan also felt that they were inseparable, so he suggested in a low voice: "Brother Dao, why don't you let them go over and have a look?"

"No, it's useless to go. It's Li Zheng I want to see."

The sky seemed to get dark all of a sudden.

Jiang Lianheng pondered for a moment and muttered: "Just wait a little longer! If he can't come out, it's actually news."

Zhao Guoyan didn't say anything extra, just said "hmm", and then stood next to Brother Dao, looking around with a wary expression.

When it's dark, anything can happen.

The lighthouse on the top of the mountain flickered on and off, and silvery white fragments of light gradually appeared on the dark sea.

The waxing moon was hanging high in the sky, and the wind was so strong that even the shadows on the ground seemed to be blown away.

"Someone is coming." Saidonggua and fermented bean curd shouted softly.

Jiang Lianheng nodded and motioned for the two of them to stop talking. Zhao Guoyan, who was beside him, quietly put his hand into his chest.

Not far away, there are two figures walking towards this side with the moonlight on their backs.

It was difficult to see each other's faces clearly in the night, so both sides were cautious and tentatively approached each other slowly.

"Li Zheng?" Jiang Lianheng shouted softly.

The voice seemed to float in the strong wind for a moment before finally getting into the other person's ears.

"Holy shit! Brother, why did you come here?"

Li Zheng finally let down his guard, led the two donkeys and hurried over here, saying, "If you don't come, my brothers will pack up and run away!"

"What's going on?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

Li Zheng dragged several people to the shadow of a fishing gear shop on the roadside and cursed in a low voice: "If you don't fucking run away, it will probably be too late."

The second donkey next to him also cursed: "Except for those who are the masters of the mountain, who can stand it when there are just a few people working here every day? The Japanese devils like Donkey are worried that all the people will escape. The control has been strict recently. As long as they are caught Anyone who escapes will be shot immediately."

Jiang Lian turned his head to look at Li Zheng and asked, "How many people did you bring?"

"There are about ten left."

"Anyone ran away?"

"Then why don't you run away?" Erlu immediately asked, "You guys are all bearded. You come here just to get promoted and make a fortune. Who wants to work hard here every day? Brother, this job is quite tiring for you. It’s ruined, how much can you give me?”

"Don't worry about money, I won't lose you." Jiang Lianheng's voice was a bit cold.

Li Zheng looked at him suspiciously and said, "Brother, the kid under my hand is worried. You have to speak with some reality."

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyan couldn't help but frowned: "Li Zheng, it's not the first day we met. Brother Dao has always kept his word——"

Li Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him, turned to Jiang Lianheng, and said: "I believe you, but that is my own business. I can't let the brothers feel unsure. Back on the mountain, those old people Braid has given us money, but now we don’t know how long it will take, so I have to give the brothers an explanation.”

"That's reasonable! So you want me to give you money now?"

"Brother, you know, money is all that matters to me."

Jiang Lian smiled and nodded: "Ha, I know you are rare for guns, but how can I give them to you now?"

Li Zheng pointed to the port behind him with his thumb: "The gun is inside!"

"That ship just now was carrying arms?"

"I'm not sure, but I feel it should be. A few officers got off the boat just now. The cargo box was quite heavy, and it sounded a bit like the movement."

Jiang Lianheng was stunned for a moment, and remembered what Li Zheng said just now. The Japanese suddenly tightened their control over the Hu bandits. If arms really arrived at the port - "The Zongshe Party's 'King Qin Army' is going to go to war with Zhang Laogeda." ?”

Li Zheng nodded: "So I said, if you don't run, it will probably be too late."

Erlu immediately echoed: "We are still at the dock right in front of us. We still have a chance to run away, but if we wait until the troops gather, we won't be able to run away. I don't want to work for those pig tails!"

Jiang Lianheng ignored Erlu's complaints.

What he was thinking about was to bring this information back to Fengtian as soon as possible.

This was not just for Zhang Laogeda, but he had already formed a rift with Master Rong Wu of the Clan Socialist Party and never wanted to see them take charge of Fengtian.

Once the "King Qin Restoration Army" takes action, the clan and socialist parties lurking in the provincial capital will definitely cooperate and prepare to move. And he himself is alone in Dalian, fearing that something will happen to his family.

However, the war information is not trivial and needs further confirmation.

"How many arms are there in that batch?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

"At least two to three hundred boxes!" Erlu said confidently.

"More than that, at least five hundred boxes!" Li Zheng shook his head and said, "But again, I'm not sure if it's arms, or in other words, I'm not sure that those boxes are all arms."

As he said that, he turned his head, looked at Jiang Lianheng and asked, "Brother, come over and take a look?"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Guoyan quickly interrupted, "If it's really arms, there must be a Japs guarding the door near the warehouse!"

"Yes, but there are very few, and I don't watch them carefully, and I know how to get there." Li Zheng explained, "The most important thing is that this batch of goods was shipped secretly, just like us 'King Qin'" Just like the army, they dare not show their faces in public."

"Understood." Jiang Lianheng muttered, "If they defend to the death, there will be no three hundred taels of silver here."

"Brother Dao, it's a bit dangerous." Zhao Guoyan advised in a low voice, "If you really want to find out, how about I go and you wait here?"

"Danger? Hahaha!"

Li Zheng leaned against the wall and laughed inexplicably twice, then ignored Zhao Guoyan and raised his chin towards Jiang Lianheng——

"Brother, are you kidding?"
