Han Baihang stood tall and mighty in the dark night. After Han Baihang and Gao Hongyi made a detailed plan, they set off from Tianjin to Shanghai.
Han Baihang brought a group of people to Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai had become a concession for foreigners.
Han Baihang didn't want to alert others, so Han Baihang had always kept a low profile in Shanghai. However, Han Baihang and his group still had conflicts with people from the French Concession. For this reason, Gao Hongyi was imprisoned by the French Concession.
Han Baihang and his party got off the train. It was the first time for everyone to come to Shanghai. They were very unfamiliar with the forces in Shanghai. Unknowingly, the Chinese and Korean Baihang people were provoked by Shen Qingshan, the bully of the French Concession. But luckily, Shen Qingshan later
People who knew that Han Baihang was from the Beiyang Army did not dare to move.
Han Baihang came to the place where he first lived in Shanghai. Unfortunately, he couldn't find him even after looking for it all day long.
It was almost dark, and Han Baihang finally found a place to stay in a small shop not far from the pier.
"Sir, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" The boss was a man, about forty years old. He asked Han Baihang in pure Shanghainese.
Gao Hongyi took a look at the house. Although it was not big, it was a courtyard built with wood. Although it was a bit crude, it was still exquisite. The house was also spotlessly clean.
The boss was very enthusiastic. Knowing that Han Baihang and the others were from outside, he even gave Han Baihang a free dinner.
After several days of traveling by train, Han Baihang and his party were really hungry.
The boss cooked some side dishes for Han Baihang and the others, and also gave them a jug of good wine.
Han Baihang, Gao Hongyi, Hu Zi, and Shi Tou were all very satisfied. Han Baihang drank a glass of wine and felt very happy. He said to the guest: "Boss, your wine is really good. And this
The food is also good and delicious.”
The boss said with a smile: "Oh, sir, I hope you like it. Your accent looks a bit like a northerner's accent!"
Gao Hongyi ate a vegetable, swallowed it, and then said with a smile: "The boss is indeed a smart man, our brothers are all from the north. Boss, my other shops are all overcrowded, why is your shop so deserted?"
of."
Gao Hongyi looked at how few customers there were in this store. No, it should be said that they were the only ones there now. A few people had already checked out and left.
The boss fiddled with his calculations and said to Gao Hongyi: "Young man, you are a foreigner and you may not know this. The war is going on now. Not only a few days ago, a war broke out with the British nearby. People nearby
They died, they were injured, they fled, there are not many people left on this street now."
"Why, do the British dare to start the station casually now?" Han Baihang said with a smile.
"These foreigners are so rampant now. You don't know that this street is not rented, but belongs to a place where no one cares. Those foreigners are now occupying this place." The boss said with a sigh.
.
In fact, what the boss said about the "three noes" means that this place is neither a British concession nor a French concession, and the Chinese government does not care about it. Now this place has become a dead place, which is what the boss said.
.
Han Baihang took another sip of wine and asked, "The world is dominated by foreigners now."
"Boss, why are you still carrying it here? From what you say, there should be danger here at any time!" Huzi asked while holding a chicken leg in both hands and chewing on it.
"Hey, I'm already half alive. I can't go anywhere now. Besides, there are wars all over the place now. I can run to you. Now everyone is running to the rental house, forget it.
I'd better stay here. Life in the rental house is not easy now! Anyway, to put it bluntly, we ordinary people are destined to suffer and suffer. How can we get comfort in this era?"
Han Baihang, Gao Hongyi, Huzi, and Shitou all felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. They didn't know how to bring about true peace. Maybe this is a great future, and how many people need to work hard and pursue it.
Han Baihang drank a glass of wine completely, with a very serious expression on his face. Gao Hongyi and Hu Zi also drank completely and felt very unhappy.
Han Baihang and the others had eaten and drank enough now. They were just about to say hello to the boss and go back to the room to rest, but their buttocks had not left the stool yet.
A group of people rushed in from outside, leading one person. Han Baihang and Gao Hongyi saw this situation.
Han Baihang signaled Huzi and Shitou not to act rashly. Han Baihang and the others continued to pretend to drink and continued drinking silently.
Han Baihang secretly observed that these people were all wearing military uniforms and carrying guns. Judging from the structure and style of the guns, they should be French. Han Baihang had probably guessed that they should be from the French Concession.
Han Baihang could not have imagined that even Shanghai would now become a world dominated by foreigners. It was really unbelievable.
Han Baihang had never known the situation on the ground in Shanghai, but now that he saw Han Baihang, his heart felt cold.
Han Baihang calmly watched what these people were going to do.
The boss walked over and said with a panicked look: "What's wrong with the military master? I wonder what the military master is going to do if he arrests my son?"
The man they caught was the boss's son. Han Baihang felt that the situation was not good, but it was better not to take action. He didn't know who the other party was now.
At this time, a man came in. This man was wearing a long black mandarin jacket, a hat, and carrying a cane. He seemed to be a man of considerable background.
When the boss saw the man, he immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Shen Er, I don't know why you came to the store?"
The man took off his foreign hat and said with a sneer, "What happened? A Biao, please tell him what happened."
A Biao should be his subordinate. A Biao said fiercely to the boss: "Your son dares to cheat in our gambling house. How should we deal with it now?"
"What? Chu Qian." The boss was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his face immediately turned ashen.
"You treacherous son, you actually gambled again. I really gave birth to your treacherous son in vain. You are really an unfilial son!" The boss scolded his son in pain. He was really not as good as steel.
"Dad, you must save me. You must save me. I only cheated when I was obsessed. Dad, you must save me. I am your only son." The boss's son begged the boss on the ground.
