Chapter 712 The Military Intelligence Department handles the case, the idlers retreat
After many days of snow and wind, the weather finally cleared up.
But everyone who lives in Liaodong knows that once the weather clears up, it will be even colder than when there is wind and snow.
After dark, almost no one can be seen walking around in Zhenjiang Fort. Although Zhenjiang Fort is a military town and implements a curfew system, it is far from the curfew at this moment. Those shops that are bustling and noisy during the day are at this moment.
Everyone also became quiet, closed the door one after another, and watched the fire in the room to prepare to spend this long night.
Occasionally, the sound of hard leather boots stepping on the stone slabs, mixed with the sound of weapons clashing, can be heard from the street outside. It is the soldiers on night watch braving the cold to patrol. These sounds are slightly chilling in other places.
For the people of Zhenjiang Fort, it is a guarantee that gives them great peace of mind.
Because of the existence of these sounds, they are very sure that even if they are awakened by unexpected military disturbances in their sleep, because of the presence of these sounds, they will not be in panic the first time they wake up from their dreams.
Looking for a hiding place.
However, there are always exceptions to everything.
In Alley J3 of the T-zi Fort of Zhenjiang Fort, a group of patrolling soldiers walked through the alley. Behind the window of a certain house, several people listened quietly as the footsteps gradually faded away.
, until they could no longer hear the footsteps, they took a long breath and sat at the table again with a look of relief.
"The army patrols once an hour. From this hour on, no one will bother us again!"
A man with a dark face and a fur hat on his head said confidently: "However, I must rush back within this hour. Even if it is me, I am still on the street during the curfew time, and I can't get it."
If you give a reason, you will be taken away by the people from the Military Intelligence Department!"
"For someone like Chen Baihu, these little soldiers dare to embarrass you?"
Another person chuckled: "Look back and find a reason for Chen Baihu to kill them!"
"I'm not on duty today!" The man wearing a leather hat, known as Chen Baihu, looked at the people in front of him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, I brought the things, where is the gold?"
"There is plenty of gold, Chen Baihu can have as much as he wants!" The man said with a smile: "Let us see what Chen Baihu brought first!"
Chen Baihu untied the long baggage behind him, placed it on the table, and slowly opened the baggage: "The latest self-propelled blunderbuss produced in Tieshan City, with a bayonet and thirty rounds of projectiles, costs you fifty taels of gold.
Don’t go too far!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a good thing!" The person opposite touched the blunderbuss, but Chen Baihu slapped his hand on the blunderbuss and shook his head at the other person: "Is it gold?"
"Bring it up!" The man stretched out his hand, and a small box was held out. The box was opened, and ten small gold ingots of fifty taels were shining.
Chen Baihu took out the gold ingots from the box, put them one by one in his bag, and then pushed the firecrackers at hand to the other party: "Brand new ones, unused ones, you try them slowly, I'll leave first."
step!"
"etc!"
The person on the other side did not rush to check the gun, but stopped Chen Baihu: "With Chen Baihu's ability, isn't it a pity to only make such a small amount of money!"
"Don't!"
Chen Baihu interrupted him: "Don't say anything else. I don't want to know who you are, and I don't want to know what you are going to do. Someone recommended that you want to buy the latest fire gun, and I can get it. Between us,
That’s it, don’t talk about the rest of the nonsense!”
"But Chen Baihu really can't guess what we do?" The man chuckled: "Besides, since I have met Chen Baihu, I naturally want to get close to Chen Baihu in the future.
, this is a matter of good for you, me, and everyone!"
"I also know your hideout!" Chen Baihu smiled coldly: "If you don't disappear tomorrow morning, I will personally bring people from the Military Intelligence Department to arrest you. What else can we talk about in the future!"
As soon as he spoke, his expression suddenly changed slightly. The figure who was walking towards the door of the house suddenly took a few steps back, staring at the door, as if facing a formidable enemy.
There was a loud "bang", and the door that everyone thought was tightly closed was knocked open, and a biting cold wind rushed in from the outside.
What was even more chilling than the cold wind was a gloomy voice coming from the door: "Yes, I can still think of our Military Intelligence Department at this time. I thought that in Chen Baihu's eyes, our Military Intelligence Department was just a decoration?"
"
Everyone in the room shivered, and then almost unanimously turned their attention to the latest firecracker sitting quietly on the table.
"Should you hold your heads and come out obediently and be captured without a fight, or should you wait for my people to rush in!"
The voice seemed a little impatient: "It's cold outside. Brothers are almost freezing to death because of you mice. Let's understand this matter quickly!"
"Don't move at all. If you don't want to die, don't move at all!"
Chen Baihu turned pale and looked fiercely at the guys who were staring at the firecrackers: "If you dare to use the firecrackers, no one in this room will survive!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva and nodded with difficulty.
"I'm going out and surrendering. After I go out, what you want to do is all your business!" Chen Baihu suddenly said loudly: "I came out. There was a blunderbuss in the house with projectiles. I came out empty-handed.
!”
After saying that, as if he was afraid that people outside would regret it, he slowly walked to the door with his head in his hands.
Then the people in the room saw two figures running out of the door, pressing him to the ground, and as quickly as a dead dog, they dragged him away from everyone's sight and disappeared into the darkness.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The gloomy voice outside began to count, and several people in the room looked at their leader. The man looked at the gun on the table, and then at the darkness outside, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
When the number outside reached the last word "one", the people in the room could no longer wait for their leader's instructions. They shouted loudly and ran out frantically. The leader in the room seemed to have finally made up his mind.
Having made up his mind, he reached out and took the firecracker on the table into his hand.
Almost at the same time, dozens of firecrackers suddenly opened fire together, and projectiles flew from the open door, from the windows, and even from the roof, covering everything in the house, including people.
"Who!"
"Where was the gunshot?"
Chaotic footsteps and shouts sounded in the night, but soon a louder voice silenced all the sounds.
"The Military Intelligence Department has arrested the spies, and all the uninvolved parties have been dispersed!"
Outside the house, a vigorous figure slowly walked into the house, looked at the leader with wide eyes underground, and slowly picked up the firecracker from his hand.
He shook his head slightly and sighed: "You said you have to seek death for what purpose. I gave you this blunderbuss. Do you know how to use it? You really don't know whether you will live or die!"
