Rose also entered the kitchen and whispered: "Uncle Liang took grandma and the others away."
Xiaoyan raised her head and stared at her, "What a place!"
Rose said: "Go east from Ganziyuan Street and approach Erli Pai. There is an alley to the south called Nanyuan Gong Alley. There is a small courtyard in it, which is not bad. They have finally settled down."
Xiaoyan asked: "What's the date?"
Rose said: "There is no door number, just the fifth door after entering the alley."
At this time, they all heard a noise coming from outside. Mazi was about to go out to check, but Xiaochai came in like a ghost, his big eyes rolling, staring at everyone in the room!
Xiaoyan asked anxiously: "Where!" She actually knew Xiaochai's location!
Xiaochai replied: "Pozi Street, Defu Warehouse!"
"There is a way!" Xiaoyan's eyes were already widened!
"Yes! I lay down in the warehouse all day without eating a bite! Is there anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death!"
Mazi hurriedly took out a few steamed buns from the basket and placed them in front of him. He then turned to take a large bowl of porridge from the pot and placed it in front of him, saying, "Eat it, it's still warm!"
Xiao Chai devoured the buns and drank the porridge, but his eyes were shining brightly as he stared at Xiao Yan!
Xiaoyan also stared at him and asked: "What!"
Xiaochai swallowed a mouthful of buns and gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Yan, I stayed there all day! Can you imagine! This morning, they brought a truckload of goods and drove directly to the warehouse to unload the goods!"
"What!" Xiaoyan's eyes widened even more!
"Money!" Xiaochai gritted his teeth and said viciously!
"See clearly!" Xiaoyan asked almost through her teeth!
"Right under my nose! Mr. Du opened a box, and it was full of bundles of money! Sister Yan, there are dozens of boxes! The piles are as high as a mountain! Sister Yan, there are dozens of boxes!
"
"There really is a way!" Xiaoyan asked through gritted teeth!
"Yes! I kept it!" Xiao Chai no longer cared about eating, and moved his fists up and down. He even raised his voice for fear that others would not believe him!
"Who else is there!"
"There are also bamboo poles and stones! The bamboo poles are outside and the stones are inside! There is a way! Sister Yan!"
"They are so crowded!"
"More! Twenty inside and a dozen outside! They are all guarding the pile of boxes! Money! They are much older!"
Xiaoyan slammed the table hard, jumped up, and shouted: "Mazi, go and inform Boss Zhao that I'm going to burn down his warehouse!"
23-8
Late at night, Chuxiang Hotel.
The lights in the entire hotel were turned off, and only one room on the second floor was still lit, like the one eye of a night devil!
Zhao Shifu and Du Wancai were sitting across from each other at the table, planning their next purchase plan! They were going to send a few more people with large sums of money to purchase in the major cities in the Kuomintang-controlled areas! This kind of procurement, to describe it in one sentence, is
Don’t ask about the price! Just buy it!
Just when they made a decision and were about to get up and leave, a stone broke the glass and hit the table in front of them, smashing a huge teapot into pieces!
They all looked out the window and saw a child standing on the street downstairs! They recognized that his name should be Mazi! He was a child from the Money Gang!
Mazi shouted loudly: "Boss Zhao, Mr. Du, the leader of the Chongqing Money Gang asked me to send a message to you two. You have harmed a high-ranking official. The gang leader has ordered that your Defu Warehouse on Pozi Street be set on fire! That's it! You two.
Go take a look, it’s very beautiful!”
After Mazi finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been here before!
Zhao Shifu immediately yelled: "Call people quickly! Call people quickly! Go to the warehouse! They are going to burn my warehouse!"
Du Wancai rushed out of the door before he could say anything. The first thing he did was to send people to the Fengcheng Inn in Dagudao Lane and notify everyone to rush to Pozi Street! Run! The sooner the better
!
Then, he and Boss Zhao took a few people around them and ran towards the Defu Warehouse!
They couldn't help but think that once the warehouse was burned down, they would be doomed!
23-9
It was late at night, and at this time, the Defu Warehouse was silent.
This huge warehouse is currently shrouded in a strange and disturbing darkness!
There was only one light on near the door of the warehouse, illuminating the various piles of goods nearby!
The goods that were just shipped this morning were piled in the open space at the entrance of the warehouse. There were dozens of cardboard boxes filled with banknotes! They were piled as high as a mountain! This mountain of money is scary and shocking even if you imagine it.
!
The dozen or so strong men who were keeping watch at night were sitting on the edge of these cardboard boxes, their heads nodding off little by little.
During the day, Mr. Du stared at them and shouted at them: "You must guard these boxes every step of the way! If there is a box missing, you will be blamed!"
There were also a few sturdy men who were trying their best to keep their spirits up and strolling around the door.
They have to take turns guarding, especially to guard against someone sneaking in through the door!
Outside the warehouse door, there were more than a dozen people strolling back and forth, wary of their surroundings.
Walking along the cardboard boxes as high as a mountain, there are piles and rows of goods. There are passages between each row of goods, and pallets or horse-drawn carriages can pass through. In comparison, those goods are not important.
!
Along the passage, it gets darker and darker as you go inward. When you go to the innermost part, it's almost impossible to see your fingers! The light at the door of the warehouse can only provide a little vague light here.
At this time, a small window near the roof opened silently. Xiao Chai slid in quietly like a cat. He turned back and held the window, helping the children behind him to get in one after another.
Xiaoyan also got into the window, climbed down along the high pile of goods, and landed on the ground.
She looked around and quickly slipped towards the warehouse door. She quickly saw the situation at the warehouse door clearly! She didn't expect that Zhao Shifu actually sent more than 20 people to guard the warehouse!
She looked back at Xiaochai and said in his ear: "You said there is a way! Where is it!"
Xiaochai gritted his teeth, showed her a proud smile, and then hooked his finger at her, gesturing for her to follow him!
They walked towards the back of the warehouse again, constantly passing through the tall piles of goods!
Finally, Xiaochai led them to the innermost corner of the warehouse and motioned them to take a closer look!
Xiaoyan, Mazi and others didn't realize until they got closer that this was an oil area! There were many oil barrels along the wall!
Xiaochai led Xiaoyan to an oil drum, stretched out his hand, and easily unscrewed the lid of the oil drum!
He whispered: "I have unscrewed it a long time ago! Sister Yan, this is gasoline!"
After that, he picked up a rubber tube from under his feet and handed it directly to Mazi's hand.
Mazi inserted the rubber tube into the oil barrel, but looked around. He saw at a glance that Xiaochai had just emerged from the pile of goods! He was holding a large pile of iron buckets tied together with straw ropes!
Oh my God! Boss Zhao doesn’t have anything to buy! He even buys tin buckets!
Xiaochai easily untied the straw rope and placed the buckets next to the oil drums one by one. Then he smiled strangely and stared at Mazi! And he made gestures to him that Mazi could understand at a glance!
Mazi inserted the rubber tube into the oil bucket, covered one end of the tube with his palm, lifted it up with force, and tilted it towards the bucket on the ground! The gasoline flowed into the bucket like tap water!
Xiaochai tilted the bucket to let the gasoline flow down against the wall of the bucket. After filling one bucket of oil, he changed another bucket! Ten minutes later, he had received a total of ten buckets of oil!
Xiaoyan stared at the children around her fiercely, nodded vigorously, picked up two barrels of oil and walked forward!
Several other children gritted their teeth and stared. They also picked up two barrels of oil, followed closely behind her, and walked forward!
23-10
At the door of the warehouse, a sturdy man sniffed and looked around in horror!
But the surroundings were quiet, with no movement at all! But the pungent smell of gasoline frightened him!
At this moment, he suddenly saw several small heads sticking out from behind the pile of goods, glaring at him fiercely!
He shouted in fear: "Get up! A thief is coming! A thief is coming!"
The other night watchmen raised their heads in horror and looked around, not knowing what was happening!
I saw Xiaoyan carrying a bucket of oil, suddenly rushed out, swung his hands, and poured the oil in the bucket on them!
Other children rushed out one after another, screaming and throwing oil at them!
Those who had dozed off woke up. As soon as he touched the oil on his body and smelled the pungent smell of gasoline, he screamed in fear! He jumped up and hid behind!
At this time, Xiaoyan stood in the darkness, struck a match with a "chi" sound, and lit a torch!
She came out holding a torch and shouted: "Who dares to move, I will burn him to death!"
Mazi and other children continued to pour gasoline on those people!
When the guards saw the burning torch, they rushed towards the door with all their strength! They hurriedly pulled out the bolt, but it seemed as if the bolt was welded and couldn't be pulled open!
When the people watching outside the door heard unusual noises in the warehouse, they slammed the door hard and shouted: "What happened inside! Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"
The small door was opened first! People inside the door wanted to squeeze out, and people outside the door wanted to squeeze in! People inside and outside the door were shouting and squeezing, but they couldn't get in or get out! It was just a random shouting.
Yelling and pushing each other!
Finally, someone pulled the bolt of the door. The double-open door was pushed open by the people inside with a bang, and the people in the warehouse rushed out desperately. The people outside the warehouse wanted to rush in!
Mazi picked up a bucket of oil and threw it at the gate! There was another burst of frightened shouts outside the door!
23-11
At this time, Zhao Shifu ran all the way and finally arrived outside the door of Defu Warehouse.
Through the people who had just rushed out of the warehouse, he caught a glimpse of Xiaoyan in the door! She was holding a torch in one hand, staring at him as if she wanted to eat someone, and shouted: "Wu Xiaoyan, you are so audacious! If you dare to set fire, I will kill you."
Your life!"
Xiaoyan screamed: "Boss Zhao, I warned you! If you kill a high-ranking official, I will burn your warehouse!"
Zhao Shifu shouted: "He's not dead! I didn't kill him!"
