Chapter 9
Shanghai Bund is a cornucopia, and its tax revenue ranks first in the country. The annual tax revenue from the opium brought into Shanghai from India alone is enough to support three divisions.At that time, although Shanghai was under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, because Lu Yongxiang served as the Shanghai Songhu Army Guard on January 1917, 1; after he was promoted to Zhejiang Governor in March 6, he refused to spit out the fat in his mouth. Therefore, he appointed his own brother-in-law and commander of the Sixth Mixed Brigade He Fenglin to succeed him as the Songhu Guard.Lu Yongxiang belongs to the Anhui Clan, and Xu Guoliang is the capable general of the Zhili Warlord Qi Xieyuan.In order to fight for power and profit, He Fenglin and Xu Guoliang fought like two "black-eyed chickens" in Shanghai Beach, fighting hard.

Qi Xieyuan (1879-1946), styled Fuwan.A native of Ninghe County (now Tianjin City) in Zhili.In the last years of Guangxu, he was a scholar in the exam, "he thinks of himself quite high, he doesn't want to be inferior to others, and he thinks for a long time to be unique."He heard the news that the Baoding Army's Accelerated Military Equipment Academy was recruiting students, and he thought that in the turbulent times, reading was like collecting antiques, with a good reputation but essentially useless.So, he went to apply for the exam and became a second-term student of the Artillery Division.After graduation, due to his excellent grades, he was sent to the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy for further study. Since then, he has embarked on the road to prosperity.

On May 1923, 5, Xu Guoliang acted preemptively and sent someone to assassinate He Fenglin. The assassin's hand trembled slightly, and the bullet missed his heart a little bit and passed through his heart. Immediately, He Fenglin was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. If you don't die, but lie on the hospital bed, you may become a vegetative state.The younger sister cried and shouted all day long, the battle between Lu and Qi became fierce, and a new warlord melee was imminent, and it was inevitable.Lu Yongxiang swears: TIT FOR TAT.If you don't kill Xu Guoliang, the son of a bitch, quietly, you will be a soldier in vain!

However, Lu Yongxiang understood that Xu Guoliang was not a good stubble.He used to be Yuan Shikai's confidant and Shanghai's guardian envoy Zheng Rucheng's confidant, and he was in charge of social security in the Chinese community in Shanghai for a long time. In October 1915, under the order of Sun Yat-sen, Chen Yingshi secretly sneaked back to Shanghai to preside over the anti-Yuan work, and prepared to execute the "beheading operation" of Zheng Rucheng, whose hands were stained with the blood of the revolutionary party.Soon, he got a message: On November 10, the day when Emperor Taisho ascended the throne, the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai will hold a celebration reception, and some prominent figures in Shanghai will attend; Danshui Road) apartment at No. 11, secretly planned with Yang Hu, Sun Xiangfu and others. At noon on the 10th, a car slowly drove up the Waibaidu Bridge.The assassins Wang Mingshan and Wang Xiaofeng decisively threw bombs and sent Zheng Rucheng to "Huangquan Road".Xu Guoliang became furious. On May 9 of the following year, he bribed Cheng Guorui, Chen Yingshi's subordinate, and stabbed him to death in the residence of Japanese overseas Chinese Yamada.Since then, he has acted secretly, with many bodyguards, and he is rarely seen in public.

Lu Yongxiang frowned tightly, and in the governor's mansion, he sometimes bowed his head in thought, and sometimes sighed up to the sky, thinking: "Who can cleanly kill Xu Guoliang, the grandson of Xu Guoliang, for me?"

At that time, his eldest son, Lu Xiaojia, returned to Hangzhou from Shanghai with pillows as a bed gift, and told him that he already knew Li Guofeng, and he recommended Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the "Axe Gang", who had a heavy responsibility to bear.

Lu Yongxiang didn't look directly at his son, but at Guan Yunong.Guan Yunong is from Lu'an, Anhui.At that time, he was the counselor of the Zhejiang Governor's Mansion and was Lu Yongxiang's think tank.

Guan Yunong thought for a while and said: "Commander, I also heard from fellow Anhui villagers that this Wang Yaqiao is a desperado who values ​​loyalty and despises life and death. It is said that Du Yuesheng once said that when you meet Wang Yaqiao, don't get entangled with him. Just give him three points."

"However, Li Guofeng once tested Wang Yaqiao's words, but Wang Yaqiao was still hesitant, saying: 'It's okay to kill anyone, but assassinating Xu Guoliang in Shanghai Beach is a tug of war with a tiger's tail-looking for death. Xu Guoliang himself is an assassination Experts, they are well-prepared, and they can’t get close within 50 meters... I’m really sorry, but I don’t want to go into this muddy water.” Lu Xiaojia added.

Lu Yongxiang, who just showed a slight smile, turned his face frosty, and his face was even uglier than before.He raised his brows furiously, pointed at Lu Xiaojia's nose, and cursed loudly in Shandong dialect: "Fuck your mother! You are such a waste. How much money do I give you every year to let you eat, drink, whore and gamble in Shanghai? Is this You don’t understand everything? If Xu Guoliang doesn’t get rid of it, you will still have good fruit in the future?! Go, go and use your housekeeping skills to pick up girls, talk to Wang Laojiu, and tell me what I say, Whatever condition he has, just mention it."

Lu Xiaojia blushed, and hurried out the door backwards, wiping away her sweat.

After leaving the office, Lu Xiaojia was just about to take a rest, take a breath, and collect herself, when suddenly she heard a rush of footsteps behind her. "No, dad is chasing you!" Lu Xiaojia immediately trotted like a conditioned reflex.

"Master Lu, don't be afraid, it's me!"

Lu Xiaojia ran for more than ten steps, and when she heard the shout, she came to a "sudden brake". Looking back, it was Guan Yunong, who immediately bent down, panting and spitting.

"...You, Senator Lu, what are you chasing me for?"

"The commander-in-chief has ordered me to accompany you back to Shanghai and persuade Wang Yaqiao to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
