Chapter 20 First time in Shanghai

Chen Yanzhi was sneaking at the bottom of the water, seriously injured, and his head was drowsy. Just when he was about to lose consciousness and fall into a coma, he finally showed up on the water.

"call."

Chen Yanzhi let out a breath of turbid air and took a few deep breaths before he felt a little more awake.

Chen Yanzhi thought to himself: "It should be that he has got rid of the Qing soldiers under Nalan Yuanshu. If I don't breathe from the water, my energy will be exhausted, and I'm afraid I will die at the bottom of the water."

Chen Yanzhi looked at the shore and was shocked. This was not the dock of Guangzhou. Guangzhou was not so prosperous.

Chen Yanzhi thought to himself: "Where is this place?"

After getting ashore, Chen Yanzhi finally knew where this place was.

It turned out to be Shanghai!

Looking at the surrounding environment and the pedestrians' dress, Chen Yanzhi was sure that he had arrived in the early days of the Republic of China.

In fact, when Chen Yanzhi became a master of martial arts, he had a premonition that he would leave the world of "Huang Feihong".

Chen Yanzhi walked on the streets of Shanghai, he was cold and hungry. If he hadn't had his martial arts skills and his physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, he might have died long ago.

"The most urgent thing is to get something to eat. Otherwise, my body will not be able to support it." Chen Yanzhi said intimately.

Chen Yanzhi walked to a small restaurant. It was not the time to eat, and there was only one shopkeeper in the store. The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Yanzhi at the door, with a little surprised look.

Chen Yanzhi was ragged, with blood on his body, his face was a little pale, but his eyes were sharp.

Although the shopkeeper was just a small person in the market, he was quite capable of observing his expressions and expressions. He could tell at a glance that Chen Yanzhi was not an ordinary person.

"Master, what do you want to eat?" said the shopkeeper with a kind look, "Although Xiao Laoer's restaurant is small, the dishes they make are absolutely authentic."

The shopkeeper's official language has a strong Sichuan dialect feature, which makes people feel friendly.

Chen Yanzhi smiled and said, "Give me a portion of vegetables, a plate of refilled meat, and a large bowl of rice and a pot of wine."

Chen Yanzhi originally did not drink alcohol, but now he is seriously injured and needs to drink alcohol to warm his body and strengthen his blood.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, okay. The wine and food you want will come soon."

Although the shopkeeper said this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Chen Yan looked like a rich man so far. Does he have the money to pay the bill? The shopkeeper walked into the kitchen, shook his head, and sighed slightly.

"It's not easy to get involved in Shanghai. If this man really eats a tycoon meal, as long as he doesn't blackmail me, I will accept it." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

In the early days of the Republic of China, there were not many other places, but there were many gangs. It was not easy to do some small business in Shanghai. Not only would it be difficult for the government to be harassed, but it would also be blackmailed by the gangsters.

The monthly protection fee must be paid.

Chen Yanzhi has been assigned to gang members by the shopkeeper.

………………………………………

After dinner, Chen Yanzhi's physical strength recovered a little.

"Shopkeeper, tell you the truth. I don't have money." Chen Yanzhi said sincerely, "I can help you with work to settle the debt. Or you can give me some time, and when I have money, I will definitely return the money to you."

The shopkeeper thought to himself that it was indeed a tycoon meal.

The shopkeeper was about to let Chen Yanzhi leave, so the money for the meal was fine.

But at this time, several young people who were breathless in the store walked into the store. The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "How many, do you want something to eat?"

The leading young man said, "Old man Wang, you should pay your protection fee, right? Three oceans. If you don't give it, we will demolish your store."

Manager Wang said, "You guys, you can't do this. We paid the protection fee to the Qing Gang two days ago. Why are you here to collect the money again?"

The young man in charge sneered, "You said too, you gave the Qing Gang the protection fee, but now this street is managed by the Hongkou Dojo. I will not be with the Qing Gang anymore, but follow the Japanese Imperial Army."

Manager Wang said angrily: "How can you do this? I'm just a small business. If you do this, you will force me to death."

This small restaurant is all the assets of Manager Wang, and most of his income will be used to study for his daughter. Now that the Qing Gang has collected protection fees, the Japanese are coming again, and with the blackmail from other gangsters, no matter how big the family business is, it will be bankrupt by these guys. Not to mention, Manager Wang’s shop has already reached the verge of bankruptcy.

"Why, Old Man Wang, do you dare to go against the Great Japanese Imperial Army? I don't think you know how to write the word "death"." The young man in charge sneered.

A cold light flashed in Chen Yanzhi's eyes. These young people were not only gang members, but also traitors. Such people were a disaster.

Chen Yanzhi said: "Shopkeeper Wang, is this the Japanese concession?"

Manager Wang shook his head and said, "This is the French Concession."

Chen Yanzhi looked at a few young people and said, "Did you hear that? This is the French Concession, not the Japanese territory. You are very brave and dare to collect rent, so you are not afraid of dying on the streets? I will make the decision on the shopkeeper Wang's store and will not pay you a penny. Don't mention you a few sluts, even if the Japanese emperor comes, I will have the same attitude. Now, you get out of here immediately!"

If it weren't for the injury, Chen Yanzhi would never have let them leave alive.

After hearing Chen Yanzhi's words, several young men were furious and took out their machetes and axes to fight.

Manager Wang was so scared that he shivered all over and hid behind the counter.

Chen Yanzhi sneered: "You defected to the Japanese, and the Japanese completely regarded you as dogs and didn't even give you a gun. It's the Republic of China, and you are still using machetes and axes, and you can't keep up with the times."

The young man in charge said angrily: "Boy, you angered me. If you don't have a gun, a machete and an axe can still kill you. Do you think you are Huo Yuanjia from Jingwu Sect? Even Huo Yuanjia died at the hands of the owner of Ryuichi Akutagawa two days ago. Die!"

Before he could get on his body, Chen Yanzhi took action.

Chen Yanzhi took action too fast, so fast that several young people could not see clearly. The Eagle Claw Claw Catcher was extremely cruel and directly twisted off their wrists. From beginning to end, Chen Yanzhi sat at the table without leaving. Such a brilliant martial arts show the style of a generation of martial arts masters.

Chen Yanzhi said, "I don't want to kill people today, so you get out. Don't let me see you next time, otherwise it will be your death. Don't come to trouble Manager Wang again. As long as Manager Wang has trouble, I will look for you. Shanghai said it's small, not big, you are disciples of the Qing Gang and have defected to the Japanese again. If I want to find you, I will definitely find it."

The young man in charge covered his wrists and shouted to the few people under his command: "Don't wail and let's retreat."

………………………………………

Chen Yanzhi smiled at Storekeeper Wang and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, why don't you keep me and help your store. I'm leaving, those traitors may come to cause trouble for you."

Manager Wang nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, okay. Stay here. My store is responsible for your meals, but the wages are enough. Do you see if I can lose more? My store really can't make much money."

Chen Yanzhi said, "Shopkeeper Wang, just take care of the food. I don't need wages. By the way, my name is Chen Yanzhi, I am from Sichuan." Chen Yanzhi said the last sentence in the authentic Sichuan dialect.

When Manager Wang heard that he was a fellow villager, he immediately felt much more intimate.

Finally, the problems of eating and accommodation were solved, and Chen Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As for money, Chen Yanzhi really doesn't care.

With martial arts skills and when the body is cured, Chen Yanzhi can easily kill several big traitors in Shanghai. After robbing, he will definitely make a fortune.

Manager Wang took Chen Yanzhi to a small room in the backyard, and Chen Yanzhi lived here from now on.

Manager Wang brought Chen Yanzhi another set of old clothes and said, "Yanzhi, you will live here in the future. You can wear this clothes first, hoping not to dislike them. I see that you have injuries on your body, so you should not go to work today, have a good rest."

Chen Yanzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Chen Yanzhi really needs some rest and recuperation, otherwise even if he is a master of martial arts, his body will not be able to hold on.

Manager Wang left, Chen Yan closed the door, took out all the bullets in his body, and then fell on the bed and entered deep sleep.
