Chapter 7: The Blood-Splattered Casino
Veterans like to gamble, life in the barracks is boring, gambling money is one of their few pleasures, Li Changsheng plays a good dice, he can think of a few points, the third division is well known, saying that he is a thousand, that is absolutely slanderous.
Li Changsheng is not only Chen Zikun's horse, but also his big brother, when everyone was born and died together, this friendship can not be forgotten for a lifetime, the big brother was chopped off his fingers, how can this breath be swallowed again, now Chen Zikun is a well-known army major general, he is good if he doesn't bully people, how can he be bullied, so this revenge must be avenged, and it has to be fast, and it must not be overnight.
"Brother Li, why don't you go to the hospital to bandage it first?" Chen Zikun asked with concern.
Li Changsheng shook his head: "No, we are rough people, a little injury is nothing, just a sad grievance." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Can you still hold a gun?" ”
"Yes." Li Changsheng cut the railway, in the end, he was a soldier of the Third Division, and his bones were all made of iron.
This time he came to Shanghai, Chen Zikun brought twelve guards, because Shanghai is Lu Yongxiang's territory, and the concession is not allowed to enter, so they all changed into civilian clothes, four of them accompanied the two ladies to go shopping, and the remaining eight were downstairs to listen to the order, and they were all called, and the group went to the casino.
The casino is not in the concession area, but is located in the west of Shanghai, which was originally a large area of farmland, after the concession of the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry crossed the border to build a road, gradually prosperous, farmland was bought, built a western-style shop, this is actually the concession authorities encroached on Chinese territory, but the local authorities in Shanghai are powerless to stop, and happy to see the benefits of economic development after the construction of the road, so they turned a blind eye.
The public security environment in western Shanghai is far inferior to that of the concession, and even the southern city and Zhabei are not as good as them, and the murder and kidnapping of tickets occur from time to time, and the casinos and smoke houses are even more dense, and the concession patrols do not care, and the Chinese police do not ask, and they belong to the two regardless of the zone, so they are called "bad land" by the people of Shanghai.
Chen Zikun came to the vicinity of the casino with the guards, but he was not in a hurry to take revenge, he rushed up in a swarm to slash and kill indiscriminately, that is the gangster's style, they are regular troops, even if they attack a small casino, they must follow the routine.
This casino is located in a Western building, the pomp is very large, the people are boiling, the small guys are running around, the gamblers are shuttling back and forth, there are all kinds of cards and mahjong dice, Chen Zikun went in and walked around, he was dressed in a white suit, wearing a Panama straw hat, and he was a suave talent, looking like a small open, and naturally did not arouse suspicion.
After figuring out the exit of the casino, the number of bodyguards and the configuration of weapons, Chen Zikun quietly went out, assigned tasks to his subordinates, and the operation began.
The casino thug is nicknamed the leper head, is a well-known ruthless character in Shanghai, the big boss hired him to come to see the field, specifically to deal with those who have unclean hands and feet, today the axe of the leper head is opened, chop off a finger, and also handed over three guns, I heard that the other party has some origins, but the leper head does not care at all, on the territory of Shanghai, except for the soldiers of the Songhu Protector can not be provoked, other foreign warlords are local chickens and dogs.
What makes him most confident is that the power of his boss is too great, and he is a number of characters in the entire Shanghai Tang.
The head of the leper patrolled his territory, like a lion on the African savannah, and the familiar gamblers who came and went had to politely call him brother leper when they saw him, which made him proud and very satisfied.
There seems to be a smell of uneasiness in the air, with the experience of the leper head for many years, he knows that he wants to do bad things, but this is all expected, there is no diamond and no porcelain work, and people who dare to open casinos in the bad land are afraid that people will make trouble.
The leper head lifted the sharp axe on his belt, that is the guy he relied on to become famous, at least eighteen people broke their hands and feet under this sharp axe, and the name of the fast axe leper head is by no means in vain.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed into the casino, and without saying a word, they drew their guns and fired, and for a moment the bullets flew sideways, and the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling were knocked down, and the gamblers screamed and fell to the ground, and as soon as the leper man's hand reached the handle of the axe, a pistol pressed against his head.
"Just move and your brain will splash all over the wall." The one holding the gun was Xiao Kai in a white suit who had just come in and walked around.
"Friend, what kind of way are you messing around? Do you know whose field this is? The leper head said unhurriedly.
"Lao Tzu is not mixed up, Lao Tzu is here to ask for an explanation for his brother." Chen Zikun beckoned: "Lao Li, look at who chopped your finger." ”
Li Changsheng pointed at the leper head: "It's this kid!" ”
Chen Zikun put away the gun, took out the axe with the leper head, and tested the axe blade with his fingers, the wind is fast!
"This friend, I have always been principled in doing things, you framed my brother for being a thousand, and chopped off one of his fingers, now I chop off one of your hands, let's clear, do you think it's okay?"
The leper head smiled contemptuously: "Boss, the gun is in your hand, you can say whatever you want, I'm afraid that if you chop my hand now, someone will chop off your head another day." ”
Chen Zikun also smiled: "Lao Tzu has been pinned to the waistband of his trousers for ten years since he was fifteen years old, and he is still afraid of you, don't say anything, stretch out your hand." ”
The leper head did not stretch out his hand, but glanced at his henchmen who were hiding among the gamblers.
As soon as the two bodyguards pulled out their guns, they were shot in the head by Wang Degui twice, and they were bleeding all over the ground and died on the spot.
The leper head finally understood that people are here to be real, not to scare people.
The man on the beach is also really kind, he put his arm on the gambling table without changing his face, and the leper said: "Boss, cut off your hands and leave quickly, we still have to do business, don't scare my guests." ”
Chen Zikun nodded: "It's okay, I'm fast." Before the words fell, the axe fell, and the left hand was immediately separated from the arm.
The leper shook his head and body, his face instantly turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, blood gushed out, Chen Zikun asked people to take the incense burner in front of Maitreya Buddha, poured the incense ashes up, and strangled his arm with a belt, and finally stopped the bleeding.
"Thank you." Although the leper head had a broken hand, his momentum was still undiminished.
"It's a man." Chen Zikun praised it heartily and waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”
The brothers calmly retreated, and the casino bodyguard made a gesture to chase, but was stopped by the leper head, gritted his teeth and said: "No need to chase, you can't run them, report to the big boss immediately." ”
……
Back at the Huizhong Hotel, Chen Zikun was fine, and accompanied Jian Bing and Yao Yilei to watch a Chaplin funny movie, and went to eat a Western meal, and when he came back, he saw Li Yaoting pacing back and forth in the hotel lobby.
"Big brother, you're back, hello sister-in-law." Li Yaoting greeted with a smile.
"You go up first." Chen Zikun sent the two ladies upstairs, sat on the sofa in the lobby with Li Yaoting, and asked him, "Something happened?" ”
Li Yaoting smiled bitterly: "Something big has happened, my brother, if you don't cause trouble, if you don't cause trouble, it will be a big leak." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Tell me, who opened that casino." ”
Li Yaoting said three words: "Zhang Xiaolin." Then wait quietly for Chan's reaction.
Chen Zikun didn't blink: "What's wrong with Zhang Xiaolin, Lao Tzu is a major general of the army, an envoy of the Jiangbei Protector, and a hooligan leader dares to argue with me, but he is against him!" ”
Li Yaoting said: "Brother, it's true that you are the protector of the army, but you are from Jiangdong Province, and you are not the envoy of the Songhu Protector, the strong dragon is not the head of the snake, people don't need to give you face, Zhang Xiaolin is a tycoon with Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, whether I can eat this bowl of rice depends on the face of others." ”
Chen Zikun said: "What does Zhang Xiaolin think?" ”
Li Yaoting said: "Since they didn't mobilize people to kill them, then there is some talk, I guess they are going to eat tea." ”
Chen Zikun said: "What is eating tea? ”
Li Yaoting said: "It's the same as our rules in Beijing, the two sides find someone to make peace, make it clear in the teahouse 4466, shake hands and eat a bowl of rotten meat noodles, even if Liangzi has passed, it is to eat tea in Shanghai, after saying it, mix the black tea and green tea into a cup, clink cups and drink it and return to it." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Then what if we can't talk about it." ”
Li Yaoting said: "If you can't talk about it, you will start fighting, Ma Yongzhen, who was on the beach back then, was smashed in the face with a lime bag when he was eating tea with the enemy family in a cave tea house on the road, and all his martial arts were in vain, and he was hacked to death on the street, this time...... Don't worry, with me, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen, I am going to put the place to eat tea in Boss Huang's Jubao Tea House, which is the only place in Shanghai that eats tea exclusively in Fengxian, Zhang Xiaolin will not give Boss Huang face. ”
Chen Zikun said: "Okay, you can arrange it, and I will follow whatever trick Zhang Xiaolin makes." ”
Li Yaoting said helplessly: "Let's do it first, by the way, William Zhang has been here." ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "You are very efficient, he has already come to apologize." ”
Li Yaoting smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can also scare and scare this kind of businessman, and when I meet a real tycoon, I can only pretend to be a grandson, fortunately, I was introduced by Brother Jiang at the beginning, and I worshiped Huang Jinrong as an old man, and I can be regarded as finding the right backer, otherwise I would not have survived today in a mixed place like Shanghai Beach, do you know what those foreigners say about Shanghai?" ”
"How?"
"Shanghai is a paradise for adventurers." When Li Yaoting said this, it was in an almost sacred tone.
……
Early the next morning, the hotel front desk called to say that someone was looking for him, Chen Zikun thought it was Li Yaoting coming, and when he came up, he knew that it was Mu Yichen.
Chen Zikun said: "Brother Mu came just in time, I was about to go to Lihe Foreign Bank to pick up the goods, it is better to go, so I can help me be a translator." ”
Mu Yichen was surprised: "Didn't you just beat the comprador of the foreign company yesterday?" ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "This is called no fight, no deal." ”
Driving to Lihe Foreign Bank, the other party did not mention the hospitality, paid the money, Zhang comprador took the bill of lading and accompanied Chen Zikun to the warehouse of the foreign company at the 16th Pu Wharf, where a large number of machinery and equipment, weapons and ammunition were stored, and the security measures were quite strict.
Chen Zikun first brought 20 Bergman hand-held machine guns and 20 box guns, as well as matching ammunition, and the rest of the goods were temporarily stored in the warehouse and picked up at a later date. ”
"Thank you, I'm afraid it's too late to test the gun, it's going to come in handy soon." Chen Zikun said with a smile.
Zhang comprador wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and he had a premonition that Shanghai would usher in a bloody storm.
