Crimson Dawn
Chapter 7
Facing the first blackmail in his life, Chen Ke was really uneasy.Glancing at Hua Xiongmao, he saw a nonchalant expression on Hua Xiongmao's face, who seemed to be experienced and confident.I don't know if this guy often blackmails others, or is often blackmailed by others.
Seeing that Chen Ke looked at him in a strange way, Hua Xiongmao smiled and said, "Wen Qing has been overseas for so long, so he doesn't know the situation in China." He briefed Chen Ke on the general situation on the road. , have to know some people.The brothers on the road collect money anyway, and also do some things for them.Without the support of brothers on the road, they will become the target of vicious gangsters.
Seeing that Chen Ke still looked skeptical, Hua Xiongmao assured Chen Ke that after the conversation just now, it can be confirmed that these two people are official members of the Tiandihui, and that the Tiandihui is a "credible organization" and the fee charged is very reasonable. .
After Hua Xiongmao said so, Chen Ke naturally had to respect the "experts".He nodded in agreement, then turned to Zhou Yuanxiao and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will pay for the gift money. You can do whatever you want to dye the cloth. If you are in a hurry, it will not be dyed well."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuanxiao kept silent as usual, just nodded, and the three returned to the table. Zhou Yuanxiao and Hua Xiongmao lay down on the table and continued to fall asleep.Chen Ke was stimulated by this incident, and his drowsiness disappeared.Seeing the other three people sleeping at their desks, Chen Ke was really envious of the big hearts of the three.Since he couldn't sleep, Chen Ke didn't want to waste time.He got up and started to work lightly.Clean the stove, treat the waste water, there's a lot to do.The cloth dyeing workshop of Zhou Yuanxiao's family was very particular when it was repaired. There was actually a dark ditch inside the atom that directly led to the ditch outside.Lifting the wooden cover and pouring waste water into it lightly, Chen Ke couldn't help but think that these two people from the Tiandihui would have been arrested and imprisoned a long time ago, even shot to death.
As a railway hub, Zhengzhou was once in chaos. Before the crackdown in the 80s, "thief kings" from all over the country held a "national conference" in Zhengzhou. Under the iron fist of the dictatorship in the 80s, anyone who stole a watch could be shot, not to mention those pretentious thieves, and all the "heroes" from all walks of life were wiped out.The social environment is really cool.
Chen Ke has never been blackmailed since he was a child. The blackmail he has seen with his own eyes is at most a very small number of things in the school.Even so, that is by no means above board.If students who blackmail others are found by the school, they will be severely punished.
Later, from the late 90s to the first two years of the 21st century, the crime situation resurged, but it was still within the tolerance of the people.After 2003, with the occurrence of several major robberies, criminals, whether organized or unorganized, were once again severely attacked by the iron fist of the dictatorship.And since the blow started, it hasn't let up.
Especially for the "organized underworld" engaged in extortion, several targeted killings were carried out, dozens of people were shot, and hundreds of people were arrested.The "organized underworld" who was caught, even if he was not shot, was sentenced to a minimum of seven years in prison.Such severe crackdowns made extortion disappear again.The surviving "heroes" from all walks of life in Zhengzhou either washed their hands from the golden basin, or "leaved their hometowns to develop in other places".
Chen Ke has never been a "humanitarian" who advocates the rights of prisoners. He is quite supportive of fighting crime.Today, when he is being blackmailed, he misses the "Iron Fist of Dictatorship" very much.But this "iron fist" did not exist in 1905, and the only way to see it again was for Chen Ke to personally build this force through the revolution.
While tidying up, I was thinking wildly.Looking at the cloth hanging all over the yard, Chen Ke felt uneasy.In case someone really comes to make trouble at night... I originally wanted everyone to go back to rest, but it seems to be impossible.Starting today, someone will have to take turns keeping watch.
It was almost dinner time before everyone woke up.You Gou got up to say goodbye, and waited for her to leave.Chen Ke announced his plan to take turns to keep his business.Zhou Yuanxiao still nodded silently.Seeing that Chen Ke was still worried, Hua Xiongmao suggested that Chen Ke talk to Xu Xilin to see if he could use the power of the Restoration Society in Shanghai.
Chen Ke thinks it is not necessary for the time being.Money is required to use the relationship. If the money spent on using the relationship is more than what those two people asked for, and if you owe the favor, it will be a money-losing business. "Let's talk first." Chen Ke said.
At noon the next day, in a restaurant near the cloth dyeing workshop, the people on both sides officially started negotiations.Everyone informed each other of their names, and the tall man was Wu Xingchen, a helmsman of the Tiandihui.
"Brother Chen, it's not that I want to collect some gift money. It's not much money. How can I open the skylight and speak honestly? I think Brother Chen's dyed cloth business is good. I want to cooperate with Brother Chen."
"If you want to buy on credit, then there's no need to talk about it." Chen Ke pushed back with one sentence, "If there is money to buy cloth, we can talk about it."
Wu Xingchen didn't expect Chen Ke's attitude to be so firm. He tried to persuade Chen Ke, "Which one doesn't buy goods on credit now, brother Chen still can't believe that Tiandi will succeed?"
"My cloth is cheap, so naturally I can't buy it on credit." Chen Ke replied.
"How cheap can it be?" Wu Xingchen asked.
"If I give it to you, a piece of cloth will cost one tael and seven silver coins." Chen Ke said.
Before Wu Xingchen could speak, the servant next to him already had a happy expression on his face, and he muttered something to Wu Xingchen in Shanghai dialect.There was faint anger on Wu Xingchen's face, and he suppressed it after a while.
Chen Ke could see this clearly. He remembered the famous gangster movie "The Godfather", in which the eldest son of the old godfather expressed a different point of view from the godfather during the negotiation.This exposed discord within the family.So the negotiating opponent immediately organized the assassination of the godfather.After killing the old godfather, the negotiating opponent can negotiate with family members who share the same views.This Wu Xingchen's follower is a local from Shanghai. Before Wu Xingchen could speak, that person tried to persuade Wu Xingchen on his own initiative.It seems that the relationship between them is not a simple gang-subordinate relationship.It seems to be a gamble on this.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly asked: "Which hall did Brother Wu belong to? It's the northern hall."
After hearing this, Wu Xingchen's face changed suddenly.Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his guess was right, Wu Xingchen, the hall master, had a delicate position in the Shanghai Tiandihui.
The next negotiation was very boring. The gang member who followed was eager to try, and talked about business with Chen Ke and the others on his own initiative.At this point, Hua Xiongmao also saw the clues, he and this Shanghai native spoke the same language.So Hua Xiongmao played the main role, and sang with Chen Ke.The two called for food and wine, and after a few cups of yellow soup, the guy's mouth was even more unguarded.This man's name is He Yifa, and he is a generation lower than Wu Xingchen in seniority.But it is a local helper.When he was happy with the drink, He Yifa accidentally revealed that Wu Xingchen was actually the head of the Beijing sub-rudder, and he was only temporarily in Shanghai.
It seems that He Yifa has been dissatisfied for a long time with being inferior to a foreigner like Wu Xingchen.And the income of the gang has a lot to do with who you follow.As a foreigner, Wu Xingchen had a hard time coming to Shanghai.
Wu Xingchen was still angry at first, but when He Yifa started talking nonsense, he already knew that this time he had failed.This person can afford to let go, let go of eating and drinking.When He Yifa was getting carried away, Wu Xingchen also very implicitly "praise" He Yifa.He Yifa felt more face, and grinned almost to the ears.Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao listened to Wu Xingchen's ulterior motives, such as "spirituality" and "aspiration for thousands of miles", they laughed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.Instead, he followed suit with a few words of praise.When Chen Ke made a toast to Wu Xingchen, Wu Xingchen also drank his glass, looking quite generous.
Be able to bend and stretch, and decisively admit the result if things don't work out, instead of getting into a fight with He Yifa on the spot.In this regard, Chen Ke has a good impression of Wu Xingchen.Instead, the idea of making friends came up.
Just when He Yi sent out to urinate, Chen Ke said to Wu Xingchen seriously: "Brother Wu, it seems that you are also someone who has experienced great things. Can you come to me alone at noon tomorrow, brother? I am also a northerner, and it is rare to hear northern dialect in Shanghai. .I want to be the host. I invite Brother Wu to drink a glass of wine. I hope Brother Wu will appreciate your face."
Wu Xingchen smiled, "Brother Chen is very clever. After holding that one back, he still wants to appease me. I'm afraid I won't have the face to bother you about this wine."
Chen Ke smiled, "I stopped that one because of business. I invited Brother Wu to drink because I admired Brother Wu's demeanor. He was calm and able to bend and stretch. I see this kind of courage brother. Being able to fight with Brother Wu In my opinion, if you make friends with such a hero, it’s more gratifying than the money. Brother Wu, I won’t eat all day tomorrow, so I’ll just wait for Brother Wu to come and drink with him.”
Wu Xingchen just smiled, but didn't speak.After a while, He Yifa came back, and the wine table became lively again.
After seeing off Wu Xingchen and the others, Chen Ke said to Hua Xiongmao, "Zhenglan, can you find someone to find out about Wu Xingchen's origin. I don't think this person is simple."
"Then the origin has already been explained clearly?" Hua Xiongmao asked a little strangely.
"You must not underestimate this person. If you don't find out his background, I feel very uneasy. Zhenglan, please give me a letter tonight. If you can find out, or you can't. If your friend asks No. I will go to Mr. Xu and ask him to ask Tao Chengzhang for help." Chen Ke said seriously.
Hua Xiongmao looked at Chen Ke's serious expression and nodded. "I'll do it now, and I'll come to the workshop to find you tonight."
Back in the workshop, Chen Keqiang pretended to sit calmly for a while, but he didn't feel at ease no matter what.When facing Wu Xingchen, Chen Ke seemed to be swaying freely.But he couldn't guarantee that his judgment on Wu Xingchen was correct.If Wu Xingchen was a character as Chen Ke expected, and things were not going well now, then he would accept the fact of this failure frankly.If Chen Ke was wrong, the next thing he would face would be Wu Xingchen's revenge.
Be prepared.Chen Ke made up his mind.He asked Zhou Yuanxiao next to him, "Brother Zhou, do we have any loopholes that are easy to get in?"
Zhou Yuanxiao glanced at Chen Ke, "This is an old workshop, and the loopholes have basically been considered. If someone breaks in from the outside, they have to go through the main entrance. If you want to climb the wall, our wall is high enough, and ordinary people can't easily climb in. "
Chen Ke wanted to ask what would happen if someone broke in and set fire, but after thinking about it, he felt that this statement was too scary. "That's good." Chen Ke said.
You Gou didn't know exactly what happened, Chen Ke and Zhou Yuanxiao came together to ask, "Is someone looking for trouble for us?"
Chen Ke didn't want to drag You Gou into trouble easily.He said a few perfunctory words.But Yougou was not willing to let go, seeing that Chen Ke refused to speak, she dragged Zhou Yuanxiao to ask him, muttering in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect.Zhou Yuanxiao also refused to say anything.Seeing everyone like this, You Gou simply announced: "I'll stay here too."
"Your family will let you stay away from home at night as a girl?" Chen Ke was quite surprised by this.
"They can't control me." When mentioning his family, You Gou's expression suddenly became much colder.
"Ask Brother Zhou about this. If Brother Zhou agrees, I have nothing to say." Chen Ke put down his words and went out to look around.
Zhou Yuanxiao's workshop is at the entrance of an alley, covering nearly 400 square meters.In an old-fashioned alley unique to Shanghai, the courtyard wall is very high. Chen Ke found a brick and threw it upwards forcefully, only then did the brick exceed the height of the courtyard wall.Chen Ke thought for himself, given the density of cloth in the courtyard, if he caused trouble, he would throw torches directly from outside the courtyard wall.Or simply throw "cocktail" Molotov cocktails.After thinking about it, everyone came here to ask for money, not to fight for life and death.How would this benefit Wu Xingchen?Even if it is a temporary failure, it will not be so troublesome that it will completely tear your face.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke looked at the towering courtyard wall again. It was very difficult for normal people to climb even with a rope.It seems that it is enough to guard the door and watch the night regularly.
However, Chen Ke was still worried. He went back and told Zhou Yuanxiao that he would go out for a while and then go to the place where he lived.As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ke saw Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin talking to Hua Xiongmao in the courtyard, and seeing Chen Ke coming in, Xu Xilin stopped Chen Ke with a smile, "Wen Qing, I want to introduce you to Mr. Cai Yuanpei tomorrow. "
Chen Ke remembered the agreement with Wu Xingchen tomorrow, if he went to see Cai Yuanpei, the agreement would definitely be broken.Whether Cai Yuanpei is important or Wu Xingchen is more important.This judgment is really bad.After thinking for a moment, Chen Keqian said, "Brother Bosun, I have already made an appointment with someone else to meet tomorrow. Please see Mr. Cai in a few days later."
Xu Xilin was quite surprised after hearing this, and then looked at Chen Ke's embarrassed expression, Xu Xilin became very suspicious.When Chen Ke asked to see Xu Xilin, he specifically asked Xu Xilin to introduce him to Cai Yuanpei.Now it has to be postponed again. Could it be that it is impossible to meet old friends and relatives?Thinking of this, Xu Xilin strengthened his tone, "Wen Qing, this opportunity is rare, you should think twice."
"Brother Bosun, please wait a moment." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he turned and asked Hua Xiongmao next to him, "Zhenglan, what news did you hear?"
Hua Xiongmao said: "I already have news, and I am going to tell Wen Qing tonight." Before he could speak, Chen Ke had already interrupted Hua Xiongmao, "Zhenglan, do you know where Wu Xingchen lives?"
"I don't know about this, but I should be able to find it." Hua Xiongmao replied.
Chen Ke turned around and said, "Brother Bosun, I met a man named Wu Xingchen today, and I asked him to meet him tomorrow. I will go to him with Zhenglan now and tell him that I have something to do tomorrow. I will meet him tomorrow morning." Hurry back and go see Mr. Cai with Brother Bosun." After saying this, Chen Ke looked at Xu Xilin's surprised expression, and felt that he had to say something, and quickly added, "Brother Bosun, I didn't think carefully just now. Brother Bosun took the trouble to introduce you, but I don’t know what’s good and bad, I hope Brother Bosun will forgive me. I’m here to make amends to Brother Bosun.” While speaking, Chen Ke gave a deep bow.
After lowering his head for a long time, Chen Ke heard Xu Xilin sigh, "There's no need to do this, Wen Qing. Things always have priorities, and I appreciate you not wanting to break your promise. But sometimes, you still have to think clearly."
Chen Ke lowered his head and replied, "I will definitely keep it in my heart."
After a while, Xu Xilin said: "Wen Qing doesn't need to be polite. Come back early tomorrow morning. And..." After listening to the first half of the paragraph, Chen Ke was about to straighten up, but after hearing the last two words, he lowered his head again .After a while, he felt that someone was helping him up, and he saw that it was Xu Xilin.Xu Xilin smiled and said: "Also, let Xiong Mao go with him tomorrow. You all come back early."
"Uncle, I understand." Hua Xiongmao replied.
After talking about the matter, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin went back to their room.Chen Ke went to his room to get two flashlights and put in batteries.Hua Xiongmao watched Chen Ke try out the flashlight, and whispered in surprise, "Wen Qing has so many treasures."
Chen Ke waved to him, and the two went out together to look for Wu Xingchen.
The two first went to Hua Xiongmao's friend to ask where Wu Xingchen lived, and then walked through the streets and alleys according to the address given by the person, and finally found the courtyard where Wu Xingchen lived.
"Brother Wu, I'm really sorry for disturbing you." Chen Ke said seriously.
Wu Xingchen was very surprised by Chen Ke's sudden appearance. He stood at the door with a tall and strong body, looking down at the two uninvited guests in front of him. His burly body almost blocked the entire door.He obviously didn't want to let the two of them in.
Chen Ke naturally had no intention of entering the house, "Brother Wu, I invite you to drink at my place tomorrow. But something happened suddenly, so I can't wait for you tomorrow. I will wait for Brother Wu at the workshop the day after tomorrow. Brother, I say Big talk, Brother Wanwangwu forgive me."
Wu Xingchen looked Chen Ke up and down, trying to figure out what Chen Ke meant.After looking at it for a while, I couldn't see any malicious or ulterior motives in Chen Ke.But Wu Xingchen was still worried, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen came to visit, just for this matter?"
"I really want to make friends with Brother Wu, so things have changed, so I came to visit. Wanwang Brother Wu forgive me." Chen Ke said.Seeing that Wu Xingchen was noncommittal, Chen Ke said, "Brother Wu, I have something to do today, and I will wait for Brother Wu at the workshop the day after tomorrow. I will take my leave first."
Wu Xingchen looked at the backs of Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao, feeling surprised and disgusted at the same time.He hadn't planned to see Chen Ke tomorrow, but Wu Xingchen was very dissatisfied with Chen Ke's pretentious visit.And is Chen Ke coming to show his respect for him, or is he threatening him?Wu Xingchen was also not sure about this, so he decided to go to see what medicine was being sold in Chen Ke's gourd the day after tomorrow.Wu Xingchen thought.
Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao had dinner outside and bought some supper, and it was completely dark at this time.There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were red lanterns hanging at the door of several houses.It can be seen from a distance, and people come in and out from time to time.
"Brother Chen, take out the flashlight, let's try it." Hua Xiongmao said cheerfully.
"There are not many batteries, use them sparingly." Chen Ke instructed.He took out a flashlight and handed it to Hua Xiongmao.This is a common flashlight with two AA batteries. Hua Xiongmao pushed the switch, and suddenly a bright circle was illuminated on the dark ground in front of him.Hua Xiongmao takes pictures here and there, happy like a child.The passers-by around were obviously taken aback by the two of them.Chen Ke has heard a catchphrase, "Poor play with pottery and rich with watches, and often play with flashlights." I don't know if it started to appear in this era.
Anyway, Hua Xiongmao had a great time.Looking at Hua Xiongmao's appearance, Chen Ke remembered the scene when he was playing with a flashlight when he was a child.At the same time, it is also a childlike innocence. "Zheng Lan, give me the flashlight first," Chen Ke said.
After getting the flashlight, Chen Ke turned off the switch.Then he put the flashlight under his chin, "Zhenglan, look at me." In the darkness, Chen Ke was probably sure that Hua Xiongmao had already looked over, so he turned on the flashlight suddenly. "Oh!" Hua Xiongmao called out.Not far away, there were also some screams.There were even screams of children.
This is a common trick in later generations. When the light shines from the chin up, the face will look hideous and terrifying. "Is it scary?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.
"It's even more scary when you move your jaw when you speak. Give me the flashlight." Hua Xiongmao said.As Chen Ke expected, after Hua Xiongmao received the flashlight, he followed Chen Ke's appearance once.Looking at Hua Xiongmao who looked like a grimace, Chen Ke laughed, "You can't scare me, and you can't see what you look like. Find a mirror."
Hua Xiongmao suddenly turned off the flashlight, and the shell of the luminous flashlight showed a faint fluorescent green light.Hua Xiongmao looked left and right, but couldn't figure it out. "Wen Qing, why did you make the flashlight like this?"
"It's dark at night. How do you find it after you turn off the flashlight? This way, it's easy to find."
"I see. It really took a lot of thought." Hua Xiongmao praised.He threw the flashlight into the air, and the fluorescent green slender flashlight spun in the air, turning into a halo.There was another surprised sound all around.
The two of them were just like children, using flashlights to illuminate them all the way.Talking and laughing back to the workshop.After Zhou Yuanxiao opened the door, Hua Xiongmao ignored the oil lamp inside and directly shone in with a flashlight.Instead, Zhou Yuanxiao was taken aback.But I heard You Gou's voice coming from inside. "Having a flashlight is a big deal? What are you showing off?" As soon as he finished speaking, You Gou rushed to the door, grabbed the flashlight from Hua Xiongmao's hand, and began to light it everywhere in the yard.
"Miss You, let me show you a trick." Hua Xiongmao said.Chen Ke sighed helplessly, Hua Xiongmao would definitely do that one time.Turning around to close the door, Chen Ke heard You Gou screaming, Hua Xiongmao said in a strange trembling voice: "I——is—ghost!" When Chen Ke turned around, You Gou had already started to talk to Hua. Xiongmao punched and kicked.
As the night darkened, the four of them sat around the table without lighting the oil lamps.There is a green flashlight in the center of the table. "Brother Chen," You Gou said in a muffled voice, lying on the table with his nose buried in his arms, "When can we make a flashlight like this?"
"At least 20 years." Chen Ke replied.
"Did it take that long?" You Gou asked, "By that time, I would be an old woman."
"We have to start working hard now. If we don't work hard now, it will take 80 years." Chen Ke took a sip of tea after speaking.
"This world is so decadent. I thought I would be able to do something after returning to China after studying chemistry overseas. But I couldn't do anything." You Gou's tone became leisurely, "I am so, so is Brother Zhou, and Many people I know are like this. I am dying to dye the cloth here. Although I am exhausted every day, I am very happy. When can I stand in front of a large chemical factory like Germany and say that this is my hard work. That’s good .”
"Revolution." Chen Ke couldn't help but said suddenly.
After hearing this, the other three people didn't show any surprise, "How revolutionary." You Gou still asked leisurely.
"Revolution is work, to build a new world according to the new world designed by the revolution." Chen Ke answered this question.
You Gou laughed dryly, "It's the same as you have seen the new world. I have also seen Germany, and after I came back, I wanted to do it according to what I saw. The result was a complete failure. Can it be done after the revolution? ?”
After hearing You Gou's words, Chen Ke also felt very helpless.
"The revolution is not just to overthrow the imperial court, and then we will do it ourselves. There are only so many revolutions I know." You Gou buried his nose in his arm again, and said in a muffled voice, "But it's very strange. I'm always unwilling, why? Good things can be done abroad, but it is difficult to do a single step in China. Good things become a mess when they arrive in China.”
Chen Ke felt that he would not be able to explain clearly for a while, and he was even more uncertain whether to talk about revolution to his colleagues who had been working together for almost half a month.After much deliberation, Chen Ke said, "I'm going to watch the night. Do you remember our password to knock on the door?"
You Gou made three long and two short sounds on the table with his fingers.After a while, knock again.
"Okay, that's it." After finishing speaking, Chen Ke stood up, opened the door and went out.The door closed behind him, and there was the sound of the bolt being bolted behind it.
It was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road outside.Chen Ke went around the workshop and hid in a dark corner.The past ten days seem to be very long, and it seems like a blink of an eye.I got to know Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin, and I got to know Hua Xiongmao and You Gou.I have seen so many people.Chen Ke was in this dark corner, but it felt like a dream, maybe he just fell asleep leaning against the wall, and when he woke up, he would be on a bed in the 21st century.Everything is just a dream.
At the beginning of returning to this era, Chen Ke felt incredible, but in fact he was very excited.At that time, after thinking about it, I felt that the only way to go was to go to the vigorous revolution.But after such a long time, let alone a revolution.I am too busy to take care of myself, but I want to survive and prepare for the future revolution.Work hard all the time, rest only when you are asleep.In the 21st century, sleep is just because you are sleepy. After waking up, a bustling and lively world unfolds before your eyes.Now, what I wake up to face is this lifeless China.Chen Ke really hoped that he could sleep like this for 100 years.Then go back to your own world.
Thinking about it, Chen Ke felt that his eyelids were a little heavy.He leaned back in the corner and almost fell asleep.Until he was awakened by a rustling sound.Opposite Chen Ke, a man was furtively messing with something on the wall.The sound came from his hand.
"Who is it?" Chen Ke asked.The man didn't expect a voice to come from behind him suddenly, and he stayed on the spot trembling all over.Chen Ke walked up a few steps, and the beam of light from the flashlight directly shone on the man's face.The one with short hair is illuminated by the light circle, so the so-called color does not look under the light.What Chen Ke saw was a pale face. As for the actual color, Chen Ke was not sure.The man was suddenly illuminated by the flashlight, and subconsciously raised his arm to block the light.
Chen Ke asked again, "What do you do?"
The man didn't speak, and suddenly turned around and ran away.The things under the armpits fell off.The man hesitated for a moment, trying to pick up the things that fell on the ground.At this moment, Chen Ke shouted again. "Stop." He yelled as he approached the guy.
The flashlight seemed to dazzle the guy's eyes, and he didn't care about the things on the ground, so he ran into the alley regardless of direction.This is a dead end.It seems that today is going to catch a turtle in the urn.Chen Kegang thought of this.Suddenly there was the sound of the workshop door opening, followed by the sound of something breaking through, and the sound of being hit.Later, the guy who ran away fell to the ground.A flashlight was lit at the entrance of the workshop, and You Gou's face was vaguely reflected by the light.
Seeing that the man was captured, Chen Ke went to see what the guy lost.There was a pile of papers scattered on the ground. Looking carefully, there were leaflets, which were still leaflets.
Seeing that Chen Ke looked at him in a strange way, Hua Xiongmao smiled and said, "Wen Qing has been overseas for so long, so he doesn't know the situation in China." He briefed Chen Ke on the general situation on the road. , have to know some people.The brothers on the road collect money anyway, and also do some things for them.Without the support of brothers on the road, they will become the target of vicious gangsters.
Seeing that Chen Ke still looked skeptical, Hua Xiongmao assured Chen Ke that after the conversation just now, it can be confirmed that these two people are official members of the Tiandihui, and that the Tiandihui is a "credible organization" and the fee charged is very reasonable. .
After Hua Xiongmao said so, Chen Ke naturally had to respect the "experts".He nodded in agreement, then turned to Zhou Yuanxiao and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will pay for the gift money. You can do whatever you want to dye the cloth. If you are in a hurry, it will not be dyed well."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuanxiao kept silent as usual, just nodded, and the three returned to the table. Zhou Yuanxiao and Hua Xiongmao lay down on the table and continued to fall asleep.Chen Ke was stimulated by this incident, and his drowsiness disappeared.Seeing the other three people sleeping at their desks, Chen Ke was really envious of the big hearts of the three.Since he couldn't sleep, Chen Ke didn't want to waste time.He got up and started to work lightly.Clean the stove, treat the waste water, there's a lot to do.The cloth dyeing workshop of Zhou Yuanxiao's family was very particular when it was repaired. There was actually a dark ditch inside the atom that directly led to the ditch outside.Lifting the wooden cover and pouring waste water into it lightly, Chen Ke couldn't help but think that these two people from the Tiandihui would have been arrested and imprisoned a long time ago, even shot to death.
As a railway hub, Zhengzhou was once in chaos. Before the crackdown in the 80s, "thief kings" from all over the country held a "national conference" in Zhengzhou. Under the iron fist of the dictatorship in the 80s, anyone who stole a watch could be shot, not to mention those pretentious thieves, and all the "heroes" from all walks of life were wiped out.The social environment is really cool.
Chen Ke has never been blackmailed since he was a child. The blackmail he has seen with his own eyes is at most a very small number of things in the school.Even so, that is by no means above board.If students who blackmail others are found by the school, they will be severely punished.
Later, from the late 90s to the first two years of the 21st century, the crime situation resurged, but it was still within the tolerance of the people.After 2003, with the occurrence of several major robberies, criminals, whether organized or unorganized, were once again severely attacked by the iron fist of the dictatorship.And since the blow started, it hasn't let up.

Chen Ke has never been a "humanitarian" who advocates the rights of prisoners. He is quite supportive of fighting crime.Today, when he is being blackmailed, he misses the "Iron Fist of Dictatorship" very much.But this "iron fist" did not exist in 1905, and the only way to see it again was for Chen Ke to personally build this force through the revolution.
While tidying up, I was thinking wildly.Looking at the cloth hanging all over the yard, Chen Ke felt uneasy.In case someone really comes to make trouble at night... I originally wanted everyone to go back to rest, but it seems to be impossible.Starting today, someone will have to take turns keeping watch.
It was almost dinner time before everyone woke up.You Gou got up to say goodbye, and waited for her to leave.Chen Ke announced his plan to take turns to keep his business.Zhou Yuanxiao still nodded silently.Seeing that Chen Ke was still worried, Hua Xiongmao suggested that Chen Ke talk to Xu Xilin to see if he could use the power of the Restoration Society in Shanghai.
Chen Ke thinks it is not necessary for the time being.Money is required to use the relationship. If the money spent on using the relationship is more than what those two people asked for, and if you owe the favor, it will be a money-losing business. "Let's talk first." Chen Ke said.
At noon the next day, in a restaurant near the cloth dyeing workshop, the people on both sides officially started negotiations.Everyone informed each other of their names, and the tall man was Wu Xingchen, a helmsman of the Tiandihui.
"Brother Chen, it's not that I want to collect some gift money. It's not much money. How can I open the skylight and speak honestly? I think Brother Chen's dyed cloth business is good. I want to cooperate with Brother Chen."
"If you want to buy on credit, then there's no need to talk about it." Chen Ke pushed back with one sentence, "If there is money to buy cloth, we can talk about it."
Wu Xingchen didn't expect Chen Ke's attitude to be so firm. He tried to persuade Chen Ke, "Which one doesn't buy goods on credit now, brother Chen still can't believe that Tiandi will succeed?"
"My cloth is cheap, so naturally I can't buy it on credit." Chen Ke replied.
"How cheap can it be?" Wu Xingchen asked.
"If I give it to you, a piece of cloth will cost one tael and seven silver coins." Chen Ke said.
Before Wu Xingchen could speak, the servant next to him already had a happy expression on his face, and he muttered something to Wu Xingchen in Shanghai dialect.There was faint anger on Wu Xingchen's face, and he suppressed it after a while.
Chen Ke could see this clearly. He remembered the famous gangster movie "The Godfather", in which the eldest son of the old godfather expressed a different point of view from the godfather during the negotiation.This exposed discord within the family.So the negotiating opponent immediately organized the assassination of the godfather.After killing the old godfather, the negotiating opponent can negotiate with family members who share the same views.This Wu Xingchen's follower is a local from Shanghai. Before Wu Xingchen could speak, that person tried to persuade Wu Xingchen on his own initiative.It seems that the relationship between them is not a simple gang-subordinate relationship.It seems to be a gamble on this.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke suddenly asked: "Which hall did Brother Wu belong to? It's the northern hall."
After hearing this, Wu Xingchen's face changed suddenly.Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his guess was right, Wu Xingchen, the hall master, had a delicate position in the Shanghai Tiandihui.
The next negotiation was very boring. The gang member who followed was eager to try, and talked about business with Chen Ke and the others on his own initiative.At this point, Hua Xiongmao also saw the clues, he and this Shanghai native spoke the same language.So Hua Xiongmao played the main role, and sang with Chen Ke.The two called for food and wine, and after a few cups of yellow soup, the guy's mouth was even more unguarded.This man's name is He Yifa, and he is a generation lower than Wu Xingchen in seniority.But it is a local helper.When he was happy with the drink, He Yifa accidentally revealed that Wu Xingchen was actually the head of the Beijing sub-rudder, and he was only temporarily in Shanghai.
It seems that He Yifa has been dissatisfied for a long time with being inferior to a foreigner like Wu Xingchen.And the income of the gang has a lot to do with who you follow.As a foreigner, Wu Xingchen had a hard time coming to Shanghai.
Wu Xingchen was still angry at first, but when He Yifa started talking nonsense, he already knew that this time he had failed.This person can afford to let go, let go of eating and drinking.When He Yifa was getting carried away, Wu Xingchen also very implicitly "praise" He Yifa.He Yifa felt more face, and grinned almost to the ears.Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao listened to Wu Xingchen's ulterior motives, such as "spirituality" and "aspiration for thousands of miles", they laughed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.Instead, he followed suit with a few words of praise.When Chen Ke made a toast to Wu Xingchen, Wu Xingchen also drank his glass, looking quite generous.
Be able to bend and stretch, and decisively admit the result if things don't work out, instead of getting into a fight with He Yifa on the spot.In this regard, Chen Ke has a good impression of Wu Xingchen.Instead, the idea of making friends came up.
Just when He Yi sent out to urinate, Chen Ke said to Wu Xingchen seriously: "Brother Wu, it seems that you are also someone who has experienced great things. Can you come to me alone at noon tomorrow, brother? I am also a northerner, and it is rare to hear northern dialect in Shanghai. .I want to be the host. I invite Brother Wu to drink a glass of wine. I hope Brother Wu will appreciate your face."
Wu Xingchen smiled, "Brother Chen is very clever. After holding that one back, he still wants to appease me. I'm afraid I won't have the face to bother you about this wine."
Chen Ke smiled, "I stopped that one because of business. I invited Brother Wu to drink because I admired Brother Wu's demeanor. He was calm and able to bend and stretch. I see this kind of courage brother. Being able to fight with Brother Wu In my opinion, if you make friends with such a hero, it’s more gratifying than the money. Brother Wu, I won’t eat all day tomorrow, so I’ll just wait for Brother Wu to come and drink with him.”
Wu Xingchen just smiled, but didn't speak.After a while, He Yifa came back, and the wine table became lively again.
After seeing off Wu Xingchen and the others, Chen Ke said to Hua Xiongmao, "Zhenglan, can you find someone to find out about Wu Xingchen's origin. I don't think this person is simple."
"Then the origin has already been explained clearly?" Hua Xiongmao asked a little strangely.
"You must not underestimate this person. If you don't find out his background, I feel very uneasy. Zhenglan, please give me a letter tonight. If you can find out, or you can't. If your friend asks No. I will go to Mr. Xu and ask him to ask Tao Chengzhang for help." Chen Ke said seriously.
Hua Xiongmao looked at Chen Ke's serious expression and nodded. "I'll do it now, and I'll come to the workshop to find you tonight."
Back in the workshop, Chen Keqiang pretended to sit calmly for a while, but he didn't feel at ease no matter what.When facing Wu Xingchen, Chen Ke seemed to be swaying freely.But he couldn't guarantee that his judgment on Wu Xingchen was correct.If Wu Xingchen was a character as Chen Ke expected, and things were not going well now, then he would accept the fact of this failure frankly.If Chen Ke was wrong, the next thing he would face would be Wu Xingchen's revenge.
Be prepared.Chen Ke made up his mind.He asked Zhou Yuanxiao next to him, "Brother Zhou, do we have any loopholes that are easy to get in?"
Zhou Yuanxiao glanced at Chen Ke, "This is an old workshop, and the loopholes have basically been considered. If someone breaks in from the outside, they have to go through the main entrance. If you want to climb the wall, our wall is high enough, and ordinary people can't easily climb in. "
Chen Ke wanted to ask what would happen if someone broke in and set fire, but after thinking about it, he felt that this statement was too scary. "That's good." Chen Ke said.
You Gou didn't know exactly what happened, Chen Ke and Zhou Yuanxiao came together to ask, "Is someone looking for trouble for us?"
Chen Ke didn't want to drag You Gou into trouble easily.He said a few perfunctory words.But Yougou was not willing to let go, seeing that Chen Ke refused to speak, she dragged Zhou Yuanxiao to ask him, muttering in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect.Zhou Yuanxiao also refused to say anything.Seeing everyone like this, You Gou simply announced: "I'll stay here too."
"Your family will let you stay away from home at night as a girl?" Chen Ke was quite surprised by this.
"They can't control me." When mentioning his family, You Gou's expression suddenly became much colder.
"Ask Brother Zhou about this. If Brother Zhou agrees, I have nothing to say." Chen Ke put down his words and went out to look around.
Zhou Yuanxiao's workshop is at the entrance of an alley, covering nearly 400 square meters.In an old-fashioned alley unique to Shanghai, the courtyard wall is very high. Chen Ke found a brick and threw it upwards forcefully, only then did the brick exceed the height of the courtyard wall.Chen Ke thought for himself, given the density of cloth in the courtyard, if he caused trouble, he would throw torches directly from outside the courtyard wall.Or simply throw "cocktail" Molotov cocktails.After thinking about it, everyone came here to ask for money, not to fight for life and death.How would this benefit Wu Xingchen?Even if it is a temporary failure, it will not be so troublesome that it will completely tear your face.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke looked at the towering courtyard wall again. It was very difficult for normal people to climb even with a rope.It seems that it is enough to guard the door and watch the night regularly.
However, Chen Ke was still worried. He went back and told Zhou Yuanxiao that he would go out for a while and then go to the place where he lived.As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ke saw Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin talking to Hua Xiongmao in the courtyard, and seeing Chen Ke coming in, Xu Xilin stopped Chen Ke with a smile, "Wen Qing, I want to introduce you to Mr. Cai Yuanpei tomorrow. "
Chen Ke remembered the agreement with Wu Xingchen tomorrow, if he went to see Cai Yuanpei, the agreement would definitely be broken.Whether Cai Yuanpei is important or Wu Xingchen is more important.This judgment is really bad.After thinking for a moment, Chen Keqian said, "Brother Bosun, I have already made an appointment with someone else to meet tomorrow. Please see Mr. Cai in a few days later."
Xu Xilin was quite surprised after hearing this, and then looked at Chen Ke's embarrassed expression, Xu Xilin became very suspicious.When Chen Ke asked to see Xu Xilin, he specifically asked Xu Xilin to introduce him to Cai Yuanpei.Now it has to be postponed again. Could it be that it is impossible to meet old friends and relatives?Thinking of this, Xu Xilin strengthened his tone, "Wen Qing, this opportunity is rare, you should think twice."
"Brother Bosun, please wait a moment." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he turned and asked Hua Xiongmao next to him, "Zhenglan, what news did you hear?"
Hua Xiongmao said: "I already have news, and I am going to tell Wen Qing tonight." Before he could speak, Chen Ke had already interrupted Hua Xiongmao, "Zhenglan, do you know where Wu Xingchen lives?"
"I don't know about this, but I should be able to find it." Hua Xiongmao replied.
Chen Ke turned around and said, "Brother Bosun, I met a man named Wu Xingchen today, and I asked him to meet him tomorrow. I will go to him with Zhenglan now and tell him that I have something to do tomorrow. I will meet him tomorrow morning." Hurry back and go see Mr. Cai with Brother Bosun." After saying this, Chen Ke looked at Xu Xilin's surprised expression, and felt that he had to say something, and quickly added, "Brother Bosun, I didn't think carefully just now. Brother Bosun took the trouble to introduce you, but I don’t know what’s good and bad, I hope Brother Bosun will forgive me. I’m here to make amends to Brother Bosun.” While speaking, Chen Ke gave a deep bow.
After lowering his head for a long time, Chen Ke heard Xu Xilin sigh, "There's no need to do this, Wen Qing. Things always have priorities, and I appreciate you not wanting to break your promise. But sometimes, you still have to think clearly."
Chen Ke lowered his head and replied, "I will definitely keep it in my heart."
After a while, Xu Xilin said: "Wen Qing doesn't need to be polite. Come back early tomorrow morning. And..." After listening to the first half of the paragraph, Chen Ke was about to straighten up, but after hearing the last two words, he lowered his head again .After a while, he felt that someone was helping him up, and he saw that it was Xu Xilin.Xu Xilin smiled and said: "Also, let Xiong Mao go with him tomorrow. You all come back early."
"Uncle, I understand." Hua Xiongmao replied.
After talking about the matter, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin went back to their room.Chen Ke went to his room to get two flashlights and put in batteries.Hua Xiongmao watched Chen Ke try out the flashlight, and whispered in surprise, "Wen Qing has so many treasures."
Chen Ke waved to him, and the two went out together to look for Wu Xingchen.
The two first went to Hua Xiongmao's friend to ask where Wu Xingchen lived, and then walked through the streets and alleys according to the address given by the person, and finally found the courtyard where Wu Xingchen lived.
"Brother Wu, I'm really sorry for disturbing you." Chen Ke said seriously.
Wu Xingchen was very surprised by Chen Ke's sudden appearance. He stood at the door with a tall and strong body, looking down at the two uninvited guests in front of him. His burly body almost blocked the entire door.He obviously didn't want to let the two of them in.
Chen Ke naturally had no intention of entering the house, "Brother Wu, I invite you to drink at my place tomorrow. But something happened suddenly, so I can't wait for you tomorrow. I will wait for Brother Wu at the workshop the day after tomorrow. Brother, I say Big talk, Brother Wanwangwu forgive me."
Wu Xingchen looked Chen Ke up and down, trying to figure out what Chen Ke meant.After looking at it for a while, I couldn't see any malicious or ulterior motives in Chen Ke.But Wu Xingchen was still worried, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen came to visit, just for this matter?"
"I really want to make friends with Brother Wu, so things have changed, so I came to visit. Wanwang Brother Wu forgive me." Chen Ke said.Seeing that Wu Xingchen was noncommittal, Chen Ke said, "Brother Wu, I have something to do today, and I will wait for Brother Wu at the workshop the day after tomorrow. I will take my leave first."
Wu Xingchen looked at the backs of Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao, feeling surprised and disgusted at the same time.He hadn't planned to see Chen Ke tomorrow, but Wu Xingchen was very dissatisfied with Chen Ke's pretentious visit.And is Chen Ke coming to show his respect for him, or is he threatening him?Wu Xingchen was also not sure about this, so he decided to go to see what medicine was being sold in Chen Ke's gourd the day after tomorrow.Wu Xingchen thought.
Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao had dinner outside and bought some supper, and it was completely dark at this time.There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were red lanterns hanging at the door of several houses.It can be seen from a distance, and people come in and out from time to time.
"Brother Chen, take out the flashlight, let's try it." Hua Xiongmao said cheerfully.
"There are not many batteries, use them sparingly." Chen Ke instructed.He took out a flashlight and handed it to Hua Xiongmao.This is a common flashlight with two AA batteries. Hua Xiongmao pushed the switch, and suddenly a bright circle was illuminated on the dark ground in front of him.Hua Xiongmao takes pictures here and there, happy like a child.The passers-by around were obviously taken aback by the two of them.Chen Ke has heard a catchphrase, "Poor play with pottery and rich with watches, and often play with flashlights." I don't know if it started to appear in this era.
Anyway, Hua Xiongmao had a great time.Looking at Hua Xiongmao's appearance, Chen Ke remembered the scene when he was playing with a flashlight when he was a child.At the same time, it is also a childlike innocence. "Zheng Lan, give me the flashlight first," Chen Ke said.
After getting the flashlight, Chen Ke turned off the switch.Then he put the flashlight under his chin, "Zhenglan, look at me." In the darkness, Chen Ke was probably sure that Hua Xiongmao had already looked over, so he turned on the flashlight suddenly. "Oh!" Hua Xiongmao called out.Not far away, there were also some screams.There were even screams of children.
This is a common trick in later generations. When the light shines from the chin up, the face will look hideous and terrifying. "Is it scary?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.
"It's even more scary when you move your jaw when you speak. Give me the flashlight." Hua Xiongmao said.As Chen Ke expected, after Hua Xiongmao received the flashlight, he followed Chen Ke's appearance once.Looking at Hua Xiongmao who looked like a grimace, Chen Ke laughed, "You can't scare me, and you can't see what you look like. Find a mirror."
Hua Xiongmao suddenly turned off the flashlight, and the shell of the luminous flashlight showed a faint fluorescent green light.Hua Xiongmao looked left and right, but couldn't figure it out. "Wen Qing, why did you make the flashlight like this?"
"It's dark at night. How do you find it after you turn off the flashlight? This way, it's easy to find."
"I see. It really took a lot of thought." Hua Xiongmao praised.He threw the flashlight into the air, and the fluorescent green slender flashlight spun in the air, turning into a halo.There was another surprised sound all around.
The two of them were just like children, using flashlights to illuminate them all the way.Talking and laughing back to the workshop.After Zhou Yuanxiao opened the door, Hua Xiongmao ignored the oil lamp inside and directly shone in with a flashlight.Instead, Zhou Yuanxiao was taken aback.But I heard You Gou's voice coming from inside. "Having a flashlight is a big deal? What are you showing off?" As soon as he finished speaking, You Gou rushed to the door, grabbed the flashlight from Hua Xiongmao's hand, and began to light it everywhere in the yard.
"Miss You, let me show you a trick." Hua Xiongmao said.Chen Ke sighed helplessly, Hua Xiongmao would definitely do that one time.Turning around to close the door, Chen Ke heard You Gou screaming, Hua Xiongmao said in a strange trembling voice: "I——is—ghost!" When Chen Ke turned around, You Gou had already started to talk to Hua. Xiongmao punched and kicked.
As the night darkened, the four of them sat around the table without lighting the oil lamps.There is a green flashlight in the center of the table. "Brother Chen," You Gou said in a muffled voice, lying on the table with his nose buried in his arms, "When can we make a flashlight like this?"
"At least 20 years." Chen Ke replied.
"Did it take that long?" You Gou asked, "By that time, I would be an old woman."
"We have to start working hard now. If we don't work hard now, it will take 80 years." Chen Ke took a sip of tea after speaking.
"This world is so decadent. I thought I would be able to do something after returning to China after studying chemistry overseas. But I couldn't do anything." You Gou's tone became leisurely, "I am so, so is Brother Zhou, and Many people I know are like this. I am dying to dye the cloth here. Although I am exhausted every day, I am very happy. When can I stand in front of a large chemical factory like Germany and say that this is my hard work. That’s good .”
"Revolution." Chen Ke couldn't help but said suddenly.
After hearing this, the other three people didn't show any surprise, "How revolutionary." You Gou still asked leisurely.
"Revolution is work, to build a new world according to the new world designed by the revolution." Chen Ke answered this question.
You Gou laughed dryly, "It's the same as you have seen the new world. I have also seen Germany, and after I came back, I wanted to do it according to what I saw. The result was a complete failure. Can it be done after the revolution? ?”
After hearing You Gou's words, Chen Ke also felt very helpless.
"The revolution is not just to overthrow the imperial court, and then we will do it ourselves. There are only so many revolutions I know." You Gou buried his nose in his arm again, and said in a muffled voice, "But it's very strange. I'm always unwilling, why? Good things can be done abroad, but it is difficult to do a single step in China. Good things become a mess when they arrive in China.”
Chen Ke felt that he would not be able to explain clearly for a while, and he was even more uncertain whether to talk about revolution to his colleagues who had been working together for almost half a month.After much deliberation, Chen Ke said, "I'm going to watch the night. Do you remember our password to knock on the door?"
You Gou made three long and two short sounds on the table with his fingers.After a while, knock again.
"Okay, that's it." After finishing speaking, Chen Ke stood up, opened the door and went out.The door closed behind him, and there was the sound of the bolt being bolted behind it.
It was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road outside.Chen Ke went around the workshop and hid in a dark corner.The past ten days seem to be very long, and it seems like a blink of an eye.I got to know Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin, and I got to know Hua Xiongmao and You Gou.I have seen so many people.Chen Ke was in this dark corner, but it felt like a dream, maybe he just fell asleep leaning against the wall, and when he woke up, he would be on a bed in the 21st century.Everything is just a dream.
At the beginning of returning to this era, Chen Ke felt incredible, but in fact he was very excited.At that time, after thinking about it, I felt that the only way to go was to go to the vigorous revolution.But after such a long time, let alone a revolution.I am too busy to take care of myself, but I want to survive and prepare for the future revolution.Work hard all the time, rest only when you are asleep.In the 21st century, sleep is just because you are sleepy. After waking up, a bustling and lively world unfolds before your eyes.Now, what I wake up to face is this lifeless China.Chen Ke really hoped that he could sleep like this for 100 years.Then go back to your own world.
Thinking about it, Chen Ke felt that his eyelids were a little heavy.He leaned back in the corner and almost fell asleep.Until he was awakened by a rustling sound.Opposite Chen Ke, a man was furtively messing with something on the wall.The sound came from his hand.
"Who is it?" Chen Ke asked.The man didn't expect a voice to come from behind him suddenly, and he stayed on the spot trembling all over.Chen Ke walked up a few steps, and the beam of light from the flashlight directly shone on the man's face.The one with short hair is illuminated by the light circle, so the so-called color does not look under the light.What Chen Ke saw was a pale face. As for the actual color, Chen Ke was not sure.The man was suddenly illuminated by the flashlight, and subconsciously raised his arm to block the light.
Chen Ke asked again, "What do you do?"
The man didn't speak, and suddenly turned around and ran away.The things under the armpits fell off.The man hesitated for a moment, trying to pick up the things that fell on the ground.At this moment, Chen Ke shouted again. "Stop." He yelled as he approached the guy.
The flashlight seemed to dazzle the guy's eyes, and he didn't care about the things on the ground, so he ran into the alley regardless of direction.This is a dead end.It seems that today is going to catch a turtle in the urn.Chen Kegang thought of this.Suddenly there was the sound of the workshop door opening, followed by the sound of something breaking through, and the sound of being hit.Later, the guy who ran away fell to the ground.A flashlight was lit at the entrance of the workshop, and You Gou's face was vaguely reflected by the light.
Seeing that the man was captured, Chen Ke went to see what the guy lost.There was a pile of papers scattered on the ground. Looking carefully, there were leaflets, which were still leaflets.
