Nearly a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people want to enter the French Concession. Normally, they would never even think about it. The soldiers stationed in the French Concession will tell the Zhepeng people that the French Concession is not a place where anyone can enter if they want, let alone a place where you can enter.
The settlement site where the Peng people released refugees.
But today, these more than a thousand people entered the French Concession smoothly and went straight to Su Yi's gate. Obviously, Zhe Peng and Francis put on a pair of trousers.
Before these more than a thousand people arrived at Su Yi's door, the call from the French Concession patrol room came first.
"Mr. Geng, this is the call from Mr. Liao Xianyong, the police officer in charge of the Central Government. Can you answer the call?" Zhao Dezhu asked, covering the receiver.
Su Yi put down the small brush in his hand, looked at himself in the mirror, smiled coldly and said: "If I don't answer, he will knock on the door later!"
Zhao Dezhu had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Su Yi's face and said, "Master Geng, if he saw your face, he would probably be scared to death."
Su Yi glared at him and took the phone.
"I am Geng Liangchen."
"Master Geng, Liao wants to apologize to you first. I am just following orders. If I have offended you, please bear with me..." Liao Xianyong's attitude was very low, "You know that I am sorry for you."
I have always been respectful and I would never do anything detrimental to you if possible."
His behavior made it difficult for Su Yi to speak coldly to him.
"Mr. Liao, do you have any advice?" Su Yi asked.
"Don't take it seriously..." Liao Xianyong said with a smile, "That's right, my immediate boss, Chief of Police Fabre, specifically told me that in the spirit of humanitarianism, the French Concession did not treat the more than a thousand people who had just entered the concession.
The old, crippled, women and children were stopped and expelled because these people were just poor people seeking justice.”
"But the French Concession will not allow these people to stay for a long time. They must evacuate and leave the French Concession within an hour. Because these people are here to find you, Master Geng, so the whereabouts of these people must be reported by you, Master Geng."
Take responsibility. You must ensure that these people leave the French Concession safely and orderly within an hour, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Su Yi asked calmly.
"Otherwise, you will be in big trouble." Liao Xianyong sighed and then changed the topic, "Master Geng, I shouldn't say what I'm going to say next, but we are all Chinese, and we usually close the door whenever we have any grudges.
Things that come from home, now that foreigners want to bully our compatriots, even if I, Liao Xianyong, am a bastard with all the five poisons, I don't want to be a dog to the foreigners with peace of mind."
These words made Su Yi startled.
Just listen to Liao Xianyong continue: "Originally, these more than a thousand people will never be able to enter the French Concession. Although the Zhepeng people are vicious dogs, the French are not soft persimmons, and they cannot scare the French.
But the reason why they entered the French Concession so smoothly this time and went straight to your residence is because someone inside the French Concession is deliberately trying to punish you."
"Master Geng, do you still remember that you offended a French businessman Brownie at the Volunteer Wharf?"
"That's what happened." Su Yi said.
That was when Su Yi was wiping out the Baijia Gang, and he ordered his men to seize the people-smuggling cargo ships at the Zhigong Terminal, including the ship of the French businessman Brownie.
At that time, there was a conflict between Brownie and Su Yi's men. After Su Yi arrived at the scene, he forcefully forced Brownie to surrender and apologize in public. The grudge between the two originated from this incident.
"Brownie and my immediate boss Fabre are very good friends. Fabre has always been very dissatisfied with you because of this incident. He promised Brownie to help him vent his anger and make you look good. This time, Fabre
Seized the opportunity.”
"He accepted the benefits from the Zhepeng people and deliberately let these more than a thousand people in just to cause more than a thousand people to cause trouble."
"Among these more than a thousand people, there are plainclothes Zhepeng people, so they will definitely cause trouble. Fabre told us to let the matter ferment and make the trouble bigger, so that he will complain to the director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
He said that you are the source of trouble, and if we don’t solve you, trouble will continue.”
"Then he will have reason to expel you from the French Concession. He has connections with the Zhepeng people. As long as you leave the French Concession, the Zhepeng people will probably lead troops to surround you..."
"Master Geng, the orders I received are, first, to ensure that these more than a thousand people can reach your residence smoothly; second, we must fan the flames when trouble occurs; and the last point, is to add more information to you, so that you can take the blame.
It's the kind of scapegoat that can make people angry..."
"If you believe me, you'd better hide first, or go directly to Fabre. This guy is very greedy for money. If you give him more money, you can still deal with him."
"That's all I have to say, Master Geng. I hope you can pass this test smoothly."
"Mr. Liao, you are Jia Changqing's disciple." Su Yi suddenly said, "Logically speaking, we are enemies rather than friends. If you exert a little effort today, you will definitely be enough for me to drink a pot. Don't talk to me about Hua.
I don’t believe you would think so about the bullshit that Chinese people say to the outside world. But I believe most of what you just said is true, so tell me, why do you want to help me?”
Liao Xianyong on the other end of the phone was slightly silent and said, "Okay, Mr. Geng, you are a discerning person, so I won't do anything behind closed doors in front of you."
"My master and the others are going back as long as they live, and they plan to be dogs for the Zhepeng people. They are going, but how can I, the chief prisoner of the French Concession, still be a prisoner?" Liao Xianyong sighed, "The French people don't know how.
Let a disciple of Zhe Peng's lackey continue to sit in the position of Chief Hua. I have worked hard for decades to get to where I am today. Just because of them, everything I have now will be ruined! Master Geng,
If it were you instead, what would you do?"
"I can't sit on the Qinggang ship, so I have no choice but to jump off the ship. I don't have the guts to jump off by myself. In the entire Jinmen, except for you, I guess no one dares to catch me under the ship. So I think
By showing my goodwill to you through this matter, I can give you a certificate of surrender."
"This little thing is not enough to qualify for a petition." Su Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Liao, thank you for the news. We can talk about what you just said later. I have a lot of things to do today, so I just want to talk about it later.
I won’t chat with you anymore, goodbye!”
Su Yi hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked Zhao Dezhu: "Do you remember everything I told you clearly?"
"It's clear." Zhao Dezhu's face turned solemn, "Don't worry, Master Geng, nothing will go wrong."
Su Yi nodded slightly: "Then I'll leave everything to you."
He looked out the window and said quietly: "I hope everything goes well."
French Concession, Rue Pasteur.
When more than a thousand old, weak, women and children came here, countless libaba armed with sticks suddenly poured out from all directions and surrounded them.
The crowd of more than a thousand people was restless and agitated. Some children were so frightened that they cried loudly and made a mess.
Dang Dang Dang...
The sound of gongs sounded from the second floor on the roadside, attracting everyone's attention.
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!" a leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "We are sent by Master Geng. Don't be afraid. Listen to what our leader Kuan has to say!"
However, it didn't have much effect, and the people below became even more confused.
"Geng Liangchen is going to kill someone! Everyone, run away!"
"It's not good, Geng Liangchen is so cruel and cruel, he wants to kill us!"
"Protect the child, protect the child! Geng Liangchen is here to snatch the child!"
Someone yelled in the crowd, which frightened the people and caused them to run around and push each other. Many people were pushed down, and the scene became more chaotic.
But the situation did not get out of control, because there were too many Liba surrounding them, thousands of them from all directions.
Dangdangdang...
The gong started beating again, and the leader who had just shouted remembered shouting repeatedly, but no one listened to him at all.
"You're so numb, get out of the way!" Seeing this, Brother Kuan behind him pushed the handle away and stood on the edge of the building. He took out a gun from his waist and pointed it at the sky, "Pop, Pah, Pah".
Three shots.
Then he was so angry that he opened his eyes wide and yelled: "Shut up! I want to talk!"
Not far away, a team of patrolmen was hiding in the dark and watching quietly.
"Boss, there's a shooting! What should I do?" a patrolman asked nervously.
"Just beat him, what are you afraid of?" Another patrolman said lazily, "Who cares who beats to death, what does it have to do with us? With such a small salary for a month, do you really want to sell your life to foreign devils? Besides,
Well, haven’t we been told by the superiors that no matter how big the trouble is, we can’t step in?”
"But didn't the superiors say that we have to escort them to Geng Liangchen's house?" The first patrolman was still very nervous. "They were stopped halfway on the way. What should we do? Should we report to the superiors?
"
"What should we do? There are thousands of people. Can you do it or can I do it?" The second patrol officer said angrily, "Don't worry about this matter. Let's just watch the fun. As for the report...it doesn't mean anything.
Didn't it happen? What did you report? Report it after something happens!"
The policemen all thought it was reasonable, so they watched the show patiently.
On the other side, three gunshots were fired, finally calming the people below.
Brother Kuan looked around and shouted loudly: "I know why you are here, and Master Geng also knows! We are waiting for you here just because we have been ordered by Master Geng to meet you here! Now, on behalf of Geng Liangchen, Master Geng, I would like to say three things
thing!"
"First, Master Geng swears that he will never ignore the brother who was captured! He will definitely seek justice from the Zhepeng people! Please believe in Master Geng! Master Geng also said! He will take care of the brothers, brothers.
He will also take care of our relatives! Brothers are brothers, and he cannot leave their relatives helpless and without food! I declare on behalf of Mr. Geng that the relatives and children of all the brothers who have been arrested will
Later, each person will receive a settlement fee of fifty yuan! Geng Renyi, this money is extra for you. After I finish speaking, I will distribute the money here and you can get it right away!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
"It's great, our heads are saved! Master Geng is such a good man!"
"And the settlement fee? Oh, Master Geng is so benevolent and righteous. He is worthy of being a hero of Jinmen!"
"I knew Master Geng wouldn't leave us alone, I just knew it!"
The people below cheered together, but there were also some people among them, with ugly faces and flashing eyes.
At this time, one of the young men from Zhongfen came out and shouted to Brother Kuan on the second floor: "Sir, you mean that Geng Liangchen will definitely go to the Japanese Concession, right? When will he go? He
Why don’t you talk about it yourself?”
This man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like he was from a poor family.
Brother Kuan's face turned cold and he shouted sternly: "I don't care who you are, before I finish speaking, you'd better shut up! If you dare to say one more word, I will tear your mouth to pieces immediately!"
The middle-parted young man was shocked and angry, but when he looked around and saw faces with unkind expressions, he immediately shut up and retreated in anger.
Brother Kuan looked around and continued, "The second thing is that the Zhepeng people grabbed our brothers who were walking around and drove out all the old and young, women and children. Master Geng will definitely ask the Zhepeng people for this matter."
An explanation! Before this matter is over, it is best for you not to go back to the Japanese Concession for the time being, lest you be arrested by the Zhepeng people again. We will settle your residence for you, and the brothers who were arrested will be sent to Mr. Geng.
Before you are rescued, Master Geng will take care of all your food and accommodation, so don’t worry..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone cheered again, and many people even cried with joy.
But those who have ghosts in their hearts look even worse.
"The third thing!" Brother Kuan looked around with eyes wide open, "Some of you are the lackeys of the Zhepeng people. They mix among you to deliberately stir up trouble. They first captured your men and then mixed in with you.
, using you to harm Master Geng! Human hearts are made of flesh, and Master Geng treats us well, can we be willing to be used by these Zhe Peng lackeys to harm Master Geng instead?"
"If you harm Master Geng, who will save your men? If you harm Master Geng, who will give you money? If you harm Master Geng, who will care whether you live or die?"
"Everyone! What we are doing now is a major emergency of 100,000 lives. There is no room for sloppiness in this matter. Now, please keep your eyes open, look around, and pick out all the faces you don't recognize. Don't accept any of them.
Let it go! Don’t let these bastards ruin our life-saving mission!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at first, and soon a woman holding a child pointed at a thin young man next to her and shouted: "He is either with us, or he persuaded us to make trouble with Master Geng along the way.
He was the one who spoke ill of Master Geng just now!"
The skinny young man's face changed drastically, and he turned around and was about to get into the crowd, but he was quickly surrounded by seven aunts and eight aunts, who pushed and pushed him out.
"I'm a reporter from the Yamato Daily News. What do you want to do?" the thin young man shouted inwardly.
Soon Liba separated him from the others and ignored his yelling.
Soon, interested people were picked out one after another mixed in the crowd. These people were men and women, old and young. They seemed to have all identities. There were fifty or sixty people in total.
On the second floor, Brother Kuan wiped his sweat in fear and murmured: "Nana, luckily I listened to Master Geng and was a little more careful..."
