In an era before the development of electricity, nights often meant boring and boring.
Candles are a very expensive luxury item that only rich families can afford and are willing to use.
Ordinary people only use kerosene lamps for lighting at home, which not only has a seriously insufficient brightness, but also has a rather unpleasant smell.
And even if it is a kerosene lamp, we should try to save it as much as possible.
So once night comes, even in Heyang City, the most powerful city in the North, most of the city will fall into complete darkness.
Only a few high-end wine shops with excellent business, or places like Zuixian Tower, can have a prosperous business at night.
Of course, this kind of place is still reserved for rich people.
Therefore, for most people, on such a night, besides creating human beings, what else can they pursue?
For example, Wei Xu, who has great ambitions and believes that he will succeed sooner or later, is one of them.
As an 'old man' who has been a local gangster since he was a child and has been a gangster on the streets for more than ten years now, Wei Xu is quite famous in Heyang City.
He is ruthless, bold and careful, which is how other colleagues in the city describe him.
So after more than ten years of hard work, Wei Xu has already gone from being the younger brother who supported others to being the boss of the scene.
On weekdays, there are always thirty or forty people following him and eating with him.
And I have a few concubines on the street where I often hang out, and my life is really comfortable and satisfying.
But Wei Xu was still unwilling.
Because he has always felt that a man with brains and courage like him, if he had been born fifty or sixty years earlier, during troubled times, he would have definitely become a peerless hero who dominated the world!
It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time...
So when the police officer in charge of his street was fired and then secretly contacted him, hoping to do something big, Wei Xu agreed without hesitation.
There are indeed risks, but Wei Xu is not stupid. After agreeing, he inquired in detail about the specific method of doing things. After discovering that this would be a riot that swept the entire Heyang City, Wei Xu couldn't control his excitement!
He believed in his own judgment. Even if there were risks in this riot, it would definitely be very limited!
Whether it is the time they choose or the street area where they are going to create a riot, it means that once a riot occurs, they can do whatever they want for at least two hours!
All the police officers in Heyang City were fired. Although new police officers were immediately replaced, what do those new police officers know?
As for the street patrol officers, from when the riot broke out to when the street patrol officers woke up and rushed to the government offices to gather and wait for the orders from the officials in the government offices, Wei Xu felt that the two-hour estimate was already a compliment to those officials.
.
Two hours! They can smash, smash, loot and burn at will in two hours! Is there anything happier than this in the world? It will never happen again!
After looking at the time, there was only about the last moment left before the agreed time. Wei Xu climbed up from the bed.
The concubine next to him was a widow. Wei Xu liked the little widow's thoughtfulness and plump figure very much, so he often went to the widow's house to create human beings.
But Wei Xu had another more important goal tonight, so he didn't work too hard on the little widow.
After a brief entertainment, the little widow was put to sleep.
After putting on his clothes, Wei Xu quietly walked out of the little widow's house.
The surrounding night was a bit hazy, but the moonlight was bright and the sky was full of stars, which made it difficult to see even this late at night.
Soon he arrived at the gathering place that he had agreed with his subordinates in advance. Looking at the nearly forty young men who had already arrived, Wei Xu felt a little high-spirited for a moment.
His more important target tonight is the shopkeeper of a silk shop on the street where he often hangs out.
Unlike most shopkeepers who are men, the shopkeeper of this silk shop is a young woman.
It was only because the old owner of the shop suddenly contracted an illness and died, leaving him childless and his wife also died a few years ago, that the only daughter inherited the shop.
Wei Xu has coveted her for a long time, but due to the woman's strong temperament, he has never been able to take advantage of her.
But tonight... is undoubtedly the best opportunity!
He could break into that satin shop without any scruples, without worrying about any consequences!
Thinking of this, Wei Xu's heart suddenly became hot. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, let's go!"
"Boss, are we really going to grab things tonight? Are you sure nothing will happen?"
A younger brother approached Wei Xu and asked worriedly.
"What can happen? The whole city of Heyang will be in chaos. We are not the only ones rioting, understand? As soon as midnight passes every day, there will be only one team of street patrol officers left in the city to watch the night. Once the whole city of Heyang
The whole city is in chaos, what role can the patrol team play?"
Wei Xu glared at his younger brother and continued with disdain: "Taking a step back, even if we are unlucky, the night patrol team really came during the process of robbing things. Don't you know how to let go?
Will the fire escape? Will the night patrol team arrest us first? Or put out the fire first?"
"Should... put out the fire first?"
The younger brother asked with some uncertainty.
"Bullshit! We must put out the fire first! Can't you think faster? Each of you is more stunned than the other. I don't know how many years my life will be shortened if I am your boss!"
Wei Xu raised his hand and slapped his little brother on the back of the head.
There was a 'bang' sound, as if a ripe watermelon had been photographed.
The younger brother instantly covered the back of his head, but he didn't dare to scream out at all.
Soon we arrived at our own territory. The surrounding area was quiet, and the entire street had obviously fallen into a deep sleep.
Wei Xu felt a little strange because there was no movement around.
The time has reached midnight, and according to the agreement during the day, the city-wide massacre should begin at this time.
Even if there is a certain distance between the others and myself, and each is responsible for a different street, as long as it is activated... it won't mean that even the smallest sound can't be transmitted, right?
Although he was doubtful, Wei Xu couldn't restrain his inner impulse when he saw the silk shop he had longed for right in front of him.
He gritted his teeth and thought that even if he were unlucky enough to encounter a night watch team, it would still be no problem to escape, and he couldn't help but feel brave.
He waved to the boys behind him to smash, smash, loot and burn, while he walked towards the silk shop alone.
Nearly forty hooligans cheered together and then dispersed, ready to let themselves go.
Wei Xu had already arrived in front of the silk shop and kicked open the completely closed door of the shop!
He smiled and was about to break into the silk shop, but at this moment, a hand appeared in front of him out of thin air!
