Republic of China 1927

Chapter 22: Journey to Qingzhou

() "Why don't you go in!" Du Yan patted Lai Fu who was looking around, and led the way in.

"Master, you're finally back." Laifu heaved a sigh of relief and walked in.

"Two masters, please come inside!" The young guy in the store came over to greet someone when he saw someone coming in, and led the two of them to sit down at a table near the window.

"What would the guest officer want?" After the two sat down, the young man asked hurriedly.

"If you have any signature dishes, just serve them up, and for the rest, just a few small dishes." Du Yan said casually, "If you have wine, serve it with a pot." It's the first time I came to Qingzhou City, and I really don't know what is delicious here.

"Okay, you two will be later!" The young man sang, and shouted to the kitchen: "Table [-], two guests, one piece of signature dish fish fillet, one piece of shrimp with pine nuts,..."

"Master, where did you go just now?" Lai Fu asked while waiting for the food, "I'm dying of anxiety, and I dare not wander around."

"It's nothing, just a small matter." Du Yan said lightly, he didn't understand why he chased him out just now, the same situation is happening in this city or every city in China, maybe it's the so-called sense of justice.

"It's just that the person I saw just now seems a little familiar." Recalling what happened just now, Du Yan felt a strange feeling deep in his memory.

It may be a while before the meal time, and there are not many people in this small shop. After a while, the kung fu boy came over with a big plate, gently put it down from the countertop, and quickly took it down from the top A few dishes and a pot of shochu said politely: "You two, please take your time!"

Looking at the delicious and delicious dishes, Du Yan couldn't help but move his index finger and let go of his hands and feet to eat happily. Laifu didn't dare to show weakness and picked up chopsticks to join the battle group.

"Brother Meng Xiao, let's sit here." At this moment, two young men in common clothes and long gowns came in, found a seat behind Du Yan and the others and sat down. After simply ordering a few dishes, the two began to chat stand up.From their simple words, Du Yan guessed that these two should be teachers from a nearby school, the one wearing glasses was called Zhao Mengxiao, and the other was called Zhou Wenruo.

"We haven't been to this restaurant for a long time." Zhao Mengxiao drank a small glass of wine beautifully and said, "The last time I came was years ago."

"Isn't it?" Zhou Wenruo put a piece of meat in his mouth, and said helplessly, "If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no chance again."

"Paper notes were issued last month, but not even paper notes are issued this month." Zhao Mengxiao said bitterly: "I'm afraid the days of this dog-meat general will not be long."

"Who knows if it will grow or not!" Zhou Wenruo raised his wine glass and said to Zhao Mengxiao, "I heard that the revolutionary army has reached Jiangbei."

"However, the men with big beards haven't been dispatched yet, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the revolutionary army to reach Shandong." Zhao Mengxiao clinked his glasses and said worriedly: "Nowadays, the school is not very safe, and the military police come almost every day. Searched, several teachers and students have been arrested."

"Brother Meng Xiao, to tell you the truth, I don't want to stay in this school anymore." Zhou Ning sighed and said, "How can you and I teach and educate people in this situation!"

"If we don't teach, what can we do?" Zhao Mengxiao said helplessly: "Is it possible to be a soldier and get paid!"

"Why not? Don't you know that you are a scholar who is useless!" Zhou Ning asked with a smile: "It's better than waiting here to die!"

"You, how can you have such an idea? Even if we starve to death, we can't help the tiger." Zhao Mengxiao said angrily.

"I'm not interested in the Zhishan Allied Forces." Zhou Ning pointed to the south and said in a low voice: "I mean our place."

"I've thought about going to the Revolutionary Army for a long time." Zhao Mengxiao's eyes lit up, but he said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that if I go to others, I might not accept it!"

"Don't worry about it. I have a classmate who works as a secretary over there. I should be able to recommend it." Zhou Ning said confidently: "Besides, there is also an urgent need for employment there, and there is no fear of being useless if he goes there."

"Then it's settled, the two of us will go there together." Zhao Mengxiao was relieved and said excitedly.

……

"The waiter will pay the bill!" Maybe it was because they were short of money, or maybe they were in a hurry to go back to pack their schedules, Zhou and Zhao quickly finished their meal, and waited for the waiter at the table to pay the bill.

"Guest officer, twenty-five cents!" The shop waiter quickly ran over and reported the number.

"You don't need to look for it, the rest will be your reward." Zhao Mengxiao thought he was going to leave Shandong anyway, so he was generous, took out a one-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it over, even though it wasn't worth a single silver dollar. , but according to the fold in half is also half of the ocean.

"Thank you, thank you..." The shop clerk took the banknotes in his hand and looked carefully, his smiling face immediately turned cold, and he said cautiously: "You two guest officers, this small shop can't accept these banknotes."

"What, you dare to reject banknotes from the Provincial Bank!" Zhao Mengxiao said angrily, "I'm not afraid that I will report you to the police station!"

"Excuse me, guest officer, this store is a small business, and I really can't afford to lose money. I can't use the tickets I collected earlier!" The waiter said for mercy: "You two only need to pay [-] cents for one small foreign currency."

"Don't embarrass Meng Xiao, it's not easy, I'll pay for it!" Zhou Ningruo persuaded his companion to grope around, but what was embarrassing was that he only had banknotes issued by the Provincial Government Bank on his body.

"Xiao Er, the blame of these two gentlemen is on my head." At this moment, Du Yan put down the wine glass in his hand and greeted.

"It's fate that the two gentlemen met, so don't be polite with such a small amount of money." Seeing Zhao Zhou and the two hesitated, Du Yan stood up again and cupped his hands and said, "Who doesn't have an emergency when they are away from home."

"Then I would like to thank this gentleman. Dare I ask your name?" Zhou Ning thought for a moment, then said politely.

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." Du Yan said softly, and made a gesture of invitation, and the other party strode out of the restaurant without asking any further questions.

After the two left, Du Yan and Lai Fu were also full of wine and food, and left the shop to continue wandering after the bill was settled.Speaking of the prices at this time are really cheap, two tables of dishes and two jugs of wine cost only sixty-seven cents. Du Yan threw a dollar to the waiter in the shop, and the waiter was very happy.

After eating and drinking, the two continued to wander the street.

"The Four Seas Gang is here, the Four Seas Gang is here!"

"I don't know who is going to be unlucky again!"

……

Suddenly the originally busy street became deserted, and the people on the street hid on both sides one after another.

"Young master, those people on the opposite side are so fucking!" Lai Fu tugged on Du Yan's clothes, and a group of men in black clothes, black pants, black sunglasses and holding axes walked over aggressively.

"That's right." Du Yan, who had been looking at the shop on the roadside, noticed the person coming. He guessed it was a gang member in Qingzhou City, and he didn't know where to fight.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way" the boys in the front shouted loudly when they saw that there were two blind guys blocking the road.

"It's him, it's him, he was just meddling in his own business just now!" Du Yan was about to lean to the side with Laifu, after all he didn't want to mess with these gangsters in this strange place for no reason, but at this moment But a black-faced man flashed out and shouted loudly.

"It's you!" It was Du Yan who also saw clearly that this black-faced man was the one he met just now, no wonder he was so arrogant, he turned out to be an organized person.

"You're quite courageous. How dare you go against our Four Seas Gang." The men in black immediately spread out in a circle and surrounded Du Yanlaifu, and one of them, a man of medium build, came out with a vicious look Said.

"Third Master, be careful, this kid has kung fu!" The black-faced man sneaked up to Han De, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, and said in a low voice.

"Listen up, boy, obediently kowtow three times to the master. When the master is in a good mood, maybe he will spare you for a while." Hande frowned and said loudly, "Black Guan Gong" is also a good player in the gang, he said so , [-]% of this guy is quite tricky.

"Well, what if I don't do it?" Du Yan said coldly, but quickly glanced at his opponents out of the corners of his eyes. There were about fifteen or six people, each holding a sharp axe. What a guy.

"Hmph! Then keep your hands." Han De said viciously, no matter how much the other party pricked his hands, he will definitely kill him today, otherwise, how can the Four Seas Gang gain a foothold in this area.

"I'll make a gap later, don't worry about me, just hide to the side." Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, Du Yan whispered to Lai Fu beside him that he wasn't worried about this kind of battle formation.But Laifu is different, it might be okay to deal with one or two, so many people fight close to each other and suffer losses, Du Yan doesn't want this young master to come out with him and become crippled before going back.

"Master, I can't..." Laifu quickly shook his head and said, jokingly leaving the young master to run for his life alone, if it was passed back and nothing else, it would be too much for his old man to just leave.

"Stop arguing with me, you don't know Lao Tzu's skills yet." Du Yan scolded without explanation.

"Brothers, let me abolish them!" Han De obviously didn't have the patience to wait for Du Yan and the others to finish talking. This is the most prosperous area in Qingzhou City, and the police will turn around in a few minutes. Difficult to deal with.

"oops"

"Oh shit"

Without waiting for the members of the Four Seas Gang to attack, Du Yan hit the lesser side, and two or three guys were caught off guard and were already lying on the ground with their foreheads blooming and shouting.

"Surround him quickly!" Han De thought that Du Yan was going to run and shouted loudly, and he led a few people to rush over wielding axes.

"Go!" Dodging the sharp ax Du Yan who was coming from behind, he pushed Lai Fu to the side of the road. Seeing this, Lai Fu had to hide in a corner on the side.

"Damn it, play with me!" A few times back and forth, seeing that the other party's ax was slashing at death, Du Yan also put away his pity, picked up the scattered axes on the ground and started to chop, and soon his His body was splattered with the opponent's blood.

"Third Master, this guy is too powerful, let's run!" A helper who just got up and watched the scene of blood and flesh flying all over was trembling.

"Nainai's, is it more powerful than Lao Tzu's gun?" Hande wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth bitterly, and touched his waist with his hands.

"Master, be careful." Lai Fu in the corner shouted and rushed out when he saw this.

"Hey!" Han De just took out the shell gun, the bullet was not yet loaded, a sharp ax flew sideways and hit his wrist, his hand shook the gun and threw it aside.

"Do you want me to kneel down and kowtow three times now?" Du Yan hit the two guys in front, ran over quickly, picked up the pistol and pointed it at Han De's head and said with a smile.

"Uncle, Uncle, please forgive me!" Han De was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kowtowed while supporting himself with blood on his wrists, begging: "The little one has eyes but can't see Mount Tai, please forgive me."

"Spare your life?" Du Yan pushed the bullet into the breech, and said ruthlessly, "You wanted my life just now!" With such ruthlessness, the Four Seas Gang has harmed many innocent people. Linqu Du Yan would have shot him to death without hesitation, but in Qingzhou City...

"The police are here, the police are here!" Following a few clear whistles and hurried footsteps, more than a dozen policemen with long guns rushed over, and the Sihai Gang, who had been knocked down to the ground, came to the police immediately. god.Du Yan also put away his gun and stood by the side. After all, killing someone in front of the police would be a big trouble.

"Who, who is making trouble here." The first policeman who came over saw the bloody and bloody scene and didn't dare to move forward, but just yelled with a long gun.

"It's him, it's this kid." The Four Seas gang immediately shouted, and the police seemed to listen to their words, pointing their guns at Du Yan one after another, but they still didn't dare to go forward.

It seems to be a family of officials and bandits, Du Yan was stunned and muttered with a wry smile, thinking how to get out.

"What's going on here." A capable voice came, a three-wheeled motorcycle was parked outside, and a tall and imposing young police officer strode over, two police officers with pistols follow behind.

"Report to Captain Xiao, this kid is causing trouble and resisting arrest!" A short policeman said timidly, looking at Du Yan from the corner of his eye.

"Slap!" Captain Xiao looked at the scene, raised his hand and slapped the short man hard.

"Captain, why did you hit someone..." the short policeman immediately argued while covering his face.

"It's still light to beat you, next time you lie, you'll tell a decent lie." Captain Xiao took off his white gloves and threw them to the followers behind, pointing at the man in black who was wailing on the ground and said in disgust: "You treat me like a fool , it is obvious that this group of people wants to bully outsiders because of their numbers, but who knows that they are invincible, if a wicked person comes, he will file a complaint first."

"Take Fatty Liu back to me and put him in confinement for four days." Captain Xiao waved his hand, and two or three police officers pulled Fatty Liu (the short policeman) out of the crowd.

"Master Han, let's meet again." After dealing with the subordinates who attempted to cheat, Captain Xiao came to Han Si again and said with a smile: "Why was he beaten so badly this time?"

"Captain Xiao, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Hande panicked when he saw the person coming, and said with a forced smile.

"Then what are you waiting for, pointing at me to pay your medical bills?" Captain Xiao suddenly scolded with a cold face: "If you don't take your people, get out!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get out now, get out now!" Han De was ashamed, and left with his subordinates in a hurry. Fortunately, Du Yan didn't kill him, and the one with missing arms and legs must be someone. Lost a life but did not.

"Captain Xiao has a great method!" Du Yan was not too arrogant when he came to rescue Du Yan, he stepped forward and said politely.

"It's not worth mentioning, these bastards should have been beaten up long ago." Captain Xiao politely returned the salute and said, "Brother, you are very skilled."

"I'm laughing at the small tricks!" Du Yan only felt that Captain Xiao's face was familiar.

"Dare to ask your name, brother?" Captain Xiao looked at Du Yan carefully and seemed to feel familiar, so he asked politely.

"Captain, something happened at the back of the station." Just as Du Yan was about to answer, a policeman ran over quickly and said, "The police and the plainclothes team are fighting."

"I'm sorry, I have to go." Captain Xiao smiled apologetically and ran towards the three-wheeled motorcycle.
