It's just Christmas, and tomorrow is New Year's.

The military and police in the public concession are in a state of laziness.

In addition, there has been a dispute between the Qing court and the French Concession recently, and they are happy to watch the excitement.

In addition, Du Yuesheng made an agreement with British opium traders in this crisis.

He bought the stock of the British at twice the normal market price.

Originally, the British wanted to shoot three times, but scattered shots were a trouble after all, and it didn't matter if Du Yuesheng was willing to eat them in one bite.

Du Yuesheng not only negotiated the price with them and agreed on the delivery time, but also gave a deposit.

For the opium business with a total price of almost 100,000 silver dollars, Du Yuesheng first gave a deposit of 30,000 yuan.

30,000 yuan is not a small amount, who would joke with the money?

Therefore, no one could have imagined Du Yuesheng's next operation.

By this afternoon, the French Concession and the Qing court had been in a state of uproar, and in the evening it was rumored that New Rome was tough after all.

Zheng Xiaoxu, who they forced, had to slap himself in the face and give up the control of tobacco entering Shanghai.

In other words, the price of tobacco will soon return to its usual price.

This made several British opium traders laugh.

Because they have the contract in hand, if Du Yuesheng doesn't admit it, the 30,000 yuan will not be refunded, and they can still claim compensation!

And this is actually two days away.

Modi, an opium trader, said to a friend: "Du Yuesheng is nothing more than that." ”

His friend said: "I'm afraid this guy will have some thoughts afterwards, after all, we are in Shanghai, and if Hatong comes forward for him at that time, he will still have to give some face." ”

Modi thought for a moment and sneered: "No matter how strong New Rome is, it can't suppress Britain, not to mention that this matter will not see the light of day, if someone really comes forward for him, we can put forward other conditions." ”

"On what terms?"

"I want to think about it."

When Modi and the others began to consider whether to take the opportunity to obtain more benefits, Hu Zi and the others had already touched the outside of their warehouse called Guti Transport on the north side of the Bund.

In charge of guarding the place were the underground forces of the Public Concession who ate with the British.

Liu Pei, a Sichuan native who came out after Yan Jiuling gave up the vacant seat, is nicknamed Flower Face.

This thing used to be a martial artist in the stage team, with good skills and viciousness, and after getting ahead, he learned the new Roman model and brought a group of brothers to work as security for people in the concession.

But the grass platform team is the grass platform team, and his people are not to say that they are compared with the White Russian Company, the paramilitary force of New Rome, and the beard.

In fact, these goods are not as good as the group of newcomers under Wan Molin.

Because they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and they usually don't train, so they rely on ferocity to eat.

Bearded people are very different from them.

When they are not doing errands, they exercise in warehouses full of gym equipment, do not drink or touch opium, and do not socialize with the outside world.

They have no hobbies in private except for the occasional woman.

It's really boring between brothers, at most playing a little mahjong.

Of these two kinds of people, one of them has all five poisons, and the other is self-disciplined and self-denying.

So you tell me, who is really ruthless?

The bearded brother touched this, and there was still a lot of yelling inside, and the beard looked through the window, and the six thugs who should have dispersed to the surrounding guard were all drinking and snorting at each other.

When Beard saw Du Le, he made a gesture, and his brother cautiously checked around again and found that there was indeed no one, Beard directly held his gun in his hand, and opened the window with the muzzle of the gun and rushed into the fire directly.

On the other side, three of them flipped on the spot, and three of them crawled and hidden, but the other brothers of the bearded man kicked the door into the house and beat them.

After only half a minute, there was no life inside, and the piled up opium boxes were drenched with oil.

The beard and the others did not move like their money and belongings, and left with the cloth that ignited the fire.

Five minutes after they left, a fire broke out.

By the time the flower face who didn't return home at night on Sima Road got the news and rushed in, Modi had already arrived.

This thing is also engaged, crying my brother, and trying to break in to save people, the people who patrol the house naturally pulled him, so this guy took a group of crooked melons and cracked dates to jump outside and say cruel words, whoever burned opium, he must kill whom.

The market gangster is like this, he only comes according to his own cleverness, and he feels that his performance can get a hard impression in front of the boss.

Don't you know that such things will not see the light of day?

And although it was late at night, there were still a lot of people who came to see the excitement.

Among them are journalists.

Hearing him speak so loudly, Modi naturally fainted out of breath.

His subordinate comprador Yang Chengming immediately rushed over and grabbed Hua Mian and told him to shut up, Hua Mian shut up, but his brothers were still there babbling.

Yang Chengming hurriedly slapped them a few times, and scolded them to get out.

As a result, it attracted the attention of others even more.

When a reporter clicked to take these photos, Yang Chengming hurriedly went to stop him, but he was a comprador and a reporter from a foreign newspaper.

After the two sides get up, who is the bird? So the scene was chaotic or something.

At this time, the fire brigade of the French Concession received a "call for help" and entered the scene in a hurry.

The patrol of the public concession will not stop the fire brigade when it sees it.

But Modi and others were even more anxious when they saw the fire brigade in the French Concession, because Modi knew that once the fire brigade in the French Concession found the goods at the scene, the matter would not be settled.

The stench of burning a large amount of opium mixed with the unique aroma, and those who could smoke it near the fire could not stand.

This kind of thing has reached such a point where Modi can suppress it.

By daybreak, more people had gathered here.

More reporters also arrived, and at this time, a large number of smokers suddenly rushed in, and they pulled on the fire ruins like mad dogs, and they really dug up a lot of opium.

Now, the matter is serious.

In broad daylight, a large amount of opium was discovered at the juncture of the ban on smoking in other countries, and the Guti company, as the owner of the warehouse, suddenly entered the public eye, and Modi himself suddenly became the focus.

When he hurriedly hid in a panic, Wan Molin, who had been staring at him for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Modi, what's going on with our goods?"

Modi opened his mouth in a panic and said, "Go, go", signaling Yang Chengming to hand over, and he was ready to flash.

Wan Molin directly dragged away Yang Chengming, who was trying to stop him, and stared at Modi coldly: "It seems that you are not ready to be responsible?" ”

Modi pretended not to understand Chinese and scolded and continued to walk out, Wan Molin no longer stopped him, only sneered and said to Yang Chengming: "Whose money and goods are good to owe, and New Rome's money and goods are not owed, you weigh it yourself." ”
