Yin Taixi tried his best to pretend to be comatose and have amnesia.
No one knows Zhang Yong better than him. It would be super troublesome to fall into the hands of this guy.
Thinking of this guy's torture methods, Yin Taixi shuddered...
Not just torture. Not just torture...
Forget it, just admit it.
Work hard to raise money.
Exchange money for life.
The only way to deal with Zhang Yong is money! Try a hundred times and you will succeed! The more you try, the better you will get.
"Take them all..."
"Take them all..."
Yin Taixi murmured weakly to himself.
Pretend to be pitiful and weak. I hope Zhang Yong will show his kindness and let himself go.
After all, the amount of money now in Zhang Yong's hands is no longer a small amount. You can't be so greedy. Don't push yourself too far...
Unfortunately, it's useless.
Zhang Yongcai had no mercy for Japanese spies or men.
Adhering to one principle: oil must be squeezed out of stones.
He waved.
Someone immediately brought an armchair for him to sit comfortably. He tried to cross his legs, but failed.
Yin Taixi knew what the drama was going to be next.
If you know something, tell me quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have to endure endless suffering.
"I really don't have any anymore. I gave them all to you..."
"When did you come to Yangzhou?"
"I……"
"If you don't answer honestly, I will ask others. Others will know the answer. Then, I will stuff a cauliflower snake into your mouth. Don't worry, cauliflower snakes are not poisonous..."
"Three months ago."
"Fireworks in Yangzhou in March?"
"yes……"
Yin Taixi wanted to cry.
Could you please stop using this poem...
So sad.
Other people's fireworks display in Yangzhou in March is for the sake of being romantic and unrestrained.
I'm the only one who met you...
What kind of grudge do you have against me? I've already gone to Yangzhou, and you're here to arrest me...
Can you find someone else? Don’t catch me all the time...
"What are you doing in Yangzhou?"
"I……"
"Doing business?"
"Yes, yes, doing business..."
"But why did you want to assassinate Shen Gongbao?"
"I……"
Yin Taixi suddenly realized that Zhang Yong would be in huge trouble without even taking action.
As long as Zhang Yong hands him over to the Shen family, Yin Taixi will undergo the cruelest torture in the world. The Shen family guarantees that he will regret coming to this world.
silence.
Zhang Yong looked around with a relaxed expression.
It seems like he's just pretending, but he's actually observing what's going on around him. He's studying the surrounding terrain with the map.
After all, we are new here and unfamiliar with the place, so safety comes first.
In case a sniper ambush...
As a result, he really discovered some clues.
Someone is observing me secretly.
Not Japanese invaders.
There is no red dot prompt.
It's a young man hiding in the corner.
He is not very old and his skills in concealment and observation are not good enough. He is even worse than Zhang Yong.
No weapons.
It means that the other party has no plans to assassinate you for the time being.
In fact, it was precisely because the other party did not carry weapons that Zhang Yong did not notice it and thought it was an ordinary citizen.
interesting.
Which side is he from? It shouldn’t be the Red Party...
If it is the Red Party, there will be a mark on the map. But I don’t know. Maybe it’s the periphery?
It seems that for people like Li Jingzhi, there is no prompt on the map.
Look away. Pretend not to notice the other person. Let the other person continue to observe.
Later, Zhang Yong found another white dot on the map approaching the young man from before. The two of them secretly observed themselves.
"I said……"
"say what?"
"Actually, I'm here to instigate rebellion against the Yangzhou salt merchants..."
"How many rebels have you instigated?"
"Not even one."
"Such a failure?"
"them……"
Yin Taixi hesitated to speak but stopped.
I wanted to say that those salt merchants did not know how to praise others and were seeking their own death. But when the words came to my lips, I drew back my words.
I was worried that I would be beaten to death if I spoke out.
It seemed that he was the one seeking death.
Zhang Yong was also a little surprised. The Yangzhou salt merchants were not incited to rebel?
He thought that one or two families would be instigated by the Japanese and forget their ancestors and betray their ancestors. Unexpectedly, there weren't any?
Yes, they are more principled than the eight major Shanxi merchants of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, you may not believe everything Yin Taixi says. What if there are hidden chess pieces?
"Why kill Shen Gongbao?"
"It's not the one I want to kill..."
"Who gave the order?"
"yes……"
"That's you."
"It's not me. It's Shimazu Funaki..."
"Wait. Who is it?"
Zhang Yong sensitively caught a name.
He worked hard to memorize the list of nineteen people Liu Xi gave him.
After all, these nineteen people are all descendants of a large family of Japanese invaders. They can all be regarded as nobles. Catching them is equivalent to catching a big fat sheep.
Sahei Uesugi caught him, but the ransom hadn't been received yet, and the replacement hadn't started yet.
Date Muneki has been exposed. However, Zhang Yong has not had the chance to face the opponent yet. In other words, he has not caught him.
Unexpectedly, Shimazu Funaki also showed up now.
Okay, okay, the fat sheep come on stage one after another.
"Shimadzu Funaki..."
"He is in Yangzhou?"
"yes……"
"where?"
"I don't know. He never told me."
"So, you met him face to face. You recognize him, right?"
"yes……"
Yin Taixi felt that he had leaked the secret.
It seems that he betrayed Shimazu Funaki. If outsiders find out, he will die without a burial place.
But what can he do?
After being arrested several times by Zhang Yong, he even lost the courage to commit suicide.
I also doubt whether I have a chance to commit suicide. If I fail to commit suicide, it will make my situation worse.
A dead Taoist friend will not die but a poor Taoist...
Just sell it. It's not the first time anyway.
As long as Zhang Yong keeps it secret, no outsider will know...
Right, that is it.
"What is Shimazu Funaki responsible for in Yangzhou?"
"Funding the Empire."
"Making money?"
"yes."
"So, he wants to attack the eight major merchants?"
"yes."
"Because Shen Gongbao didn't listen to him, so he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and kill Shen Gongbao to deter others, right?"
"yes."
Yin Taixi answered honestly.
The truth of the matter is this. There are not so many magical tricks.
It's that simple. So crude.
The most high-end communication often adopts the most primitive method.
Don't think wrongly...
Killing has always been one of the most effective means of deterrence.
The Japanese invaders were even more obsessed with this.
If you are cruel to others, you will also be cruel to your own people. When you are crazy, you will not even spare your own people.
The February 26 Incident can also be said to be a means of deterrence.
Killed several big shots directly.
Just ask you if you are afraid.
In Yangzhou, Shimadzu Funaki's methods were the same.
If you don't listen to me, then I will kill you. This time I will kill Shen Gongbao, but next time I don't know who it will be.
"How much money does he want to amass?"
"five million."
"Ocean?"
"yes."
"so much?"
Zhang Yong secretly smacked his tongue.
Ma De, the Japanese invaders are so horny!
He actually wanted to squeeze five million yuan out of a wealthy Yangzhou businessman.
Five million oceans!
Even Zhang Yong didn’t dare to think about it! But Shimazu Funaki did!
That's all the money of us Chinese people. The Japanese invaders are so arrogant! They actually want to take it away casually?
Damn...
However, Zhang Yong quickly realized a problem.
Even at the end of next year, Yangzhou will fall. At that time, there will be a question, what should those wealthy businessmen do?
The Japanese invaders were not good people.
Their desire for money is even greater than that of Zhang Yong.
The Japanese invaders will definitely steal all the money of these wealthy businessmen and then turn it into various weapons and ammunition for the invasion.
There are still a year and a few months left! What should they do?
"Why did the assassin die too?"
"Thirty yen."
"Understood."
Zhang Yong nodded.
No need to explain. I completely understand and feel a little emotional.
Lin Xiaoyan said before that a Japanese veteran is worth thirty yen. His life can be bought out.
These veterans of the Japanese invaders have very strong combat skills. However, the idea instilled in them is to always move forward. It is impossible to retreat. It is impossible to escape. This is true even for assassinations. Even if the target is successfully killed,
Those who don't retreat will continue to fight until they are killed.
If you say brave, it is indeed brave. If you say stupid, it is also a bit stupid.
The mission has been completed, why don't you withdraw?
Must die?
However, when you think about the performance of the Japanese invaders' units on the battlefield later, you have become accustomed to it.
Many troops of the Japanese invaders also fought to the death. The pig charge and the onboard charge were both invented by them. Their purpose was one: to fight until they were killed.
There was an Osaka division that was a little more flexible, knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to preserve itself, and the result was weird.
Thirty yen, two lives. This is the cruel reality.
In times of war, life is like straw.
There are countless people who may not even have thirty yen.
If the Japanese invaders resorted to such assassination tactics without risking their lives, those merchants would really be unable to withstand it.
Others don't want their lives, they want their lives!
unless……
Some absurd ideas flashed through my mind, but they passed by in a flash and I didn’t catch them.
"Who is Shimazu Funaki's next target?"
"I don't know. He never told me. He may know that I am unreliable..."
"Who is the gold bar in your briefcase for?"
"I……"
Yin Taixi was silent.
This is a proposition. There is no need to avoid it.
But you can choose.
Or, it would cost him his own life.
Or, it is to send the recipient's life.
"explain."
"It's for Han Shouchun..."
"Who is Han Shouchun?"
"Head of the security regiment stationed in Yangzhou. Han Deqin's nephew."
"Han Deqin?"
Zhang Yong heard a familiar name again.
This guy was later beaten up by General Su. Yes, it was him.
"There is no regular army in Yangzhou?"
"No. There is only one security group. Most of them are vacant. In fact, there are less than 500 people."
"Then why did you give him a gift?"
"After the assassination occurred, the security team tried their best to delay the handling."
"Why did Han Shouchun agree?"
"Because he doesn't have a good relationship with those businesses. He is a migrant. The locals say he is from Gaoyou. Gaoyou salted duck eggs..."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong understood.
This is an early regional attack.
Yangzhou people, who are the richest people in the world, look down on their neighbors.
The Gaoyou salted duck egg seems to have been circulated since the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is a complete slander.
What's more, Han Delin's hometown is not Gaoyou...
However, Han Shouchun has military power, but he can't handle a few businesses? How weird!
It seems that there are also connections behind these businesses.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt so stupid.
Without connections, he would have been wiped out long ago. Can he still wait until now?
Do you want a child to go out on the street holding a gold ingot? If he doesn’t follow an adult, he will be robbed when he goes out...
So, who is behind the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou?
Probably from Yangzhou.
Or maybe not.
The relationship within the fruit party is very complicated...
“Who is behind the wealthy businessman?”
"Chen Guofu..."
"It's him?"
Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Chen brothers.
incredible.
No wonder they don't have a security team.
With the Chen brothers protecting him, not to mention the security team, even the division commanders could ignore him.
There is a popular saying: The Jiang family is the Chen family party.
In order to prevent the man named Wang from dominating party affairs, Chiang Kai-shek pushed the Chen brothers out and asked them to get involved in party affairs.
The Chen brothers established the most advanced party school and trained a large number of party cadres in order to divide the power among those surnamed Wang.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department is also in the hands of the Chen brothers.
At present, the Chen brothers are not rivals surnamed Wang. However, after the defection of Wang, the Chen brothers have completely taken control of party affairs. In addition to monopolizing military power, Chiang Kai-shek has also monopolized party affairs. There are also the beautiful country's
Great assistance. It can be said that life has truly reached its peak.
...that's too far.
He is just a small person. The fighting skills of those high-level bosses have nothing to do with him. If he survives, it will only affect Xu Enzeng's level.
"Ask you something..."
"……explain."
"It is said that you have a big den in Yangzhou..."
"I can take you there. But you have to let me go. And keep it secret for me."
"make a deal."
Zhang Yong readily agreed.
Cutting leeks! One crop after another.
You have to leave enough time for the other person to grow back.
Otherwise, there would be no need to cut it.
Yin Taixi immediately led the way.
Soon, dense weapons symbols appeared on the edge of the map.
Among the weapon symbols, there are several red dots moving back and forth.
Zhang Yong suddenly felt energetic.
There are so many weapons symbols. What are the Japanese invaders going to do?
In addition to the red dots, there are also a large number of white dots. Could it be that the Japanese invaders are gathering troops to launch a big operation?
Will Shimadzu Funaki be here?
Tsk tsk...
Looking forward to it very much!
"Let's go!"
"ah?"
"I already know the location. Get out of here!"
"oh……"
Yin Taixi left in a hurry and ran away.
Zhang Yong and his team quietly approached the weapon symbols.
I was very surprised to find that this place was actually a high-walled courtyard. A pale white lantern hung at the door.
The servants standing at the door were all wearing white bandanas.
Is this a funeral?
It feels eerie.
Check the map again. Yes, this is it.
Densely packed weapons symbols are located inside this high-walled compound.
"Yang Zhi."
"arrive."
"Go and find out."
"yes."
Yang Zhi immediately sent someone to inquire.
Soon, news came back that the Tao family was secretly mourning someone.
This high-walled courtyard is the ancestral home of the Tao family.
Well, it's the ancestral home.
The Tao family no longer lives here. Instead, they have moved outside Dongcheng and own a very large manor.
"Secret? Why? Who died?"
"Not sure."
"So strange..."
Zhang Yong frowned secretly.
There is a spy hidden in the Tao family's ancestral home.
I just can't tell whether they are foreign guests or members of the Tao family themselves?
Silently observe the surroundings.
Noticed that there seemed to be a lot of melon-eating people around?
They seemed to dare not stand up openly. However, they were observing in secret and whispering.
There is something fishy.
Zhang Yong decided to go over and ask in person.
He turned around and nuzzled his lips towards Nightingale. Nightingale understood and came up to help him with simple makeup.
Soon, Zhang Yong became an ordinary person.
He came out of the darkness and dived into the crowd.
It felt like someone was watching me secretly again. Without looking back, I knew it was that young man.
Zhang Yong made a mark. As long as the opponent enters the map, he will be able to detect it immediately.
In fact, the young man has been following Zhang Yong. The farthest distance is about 300 meters. Now, he is less than 150 meters away from Zhang Yong.
He is a persevering young man! He doesn’t know what he wants to do?
Is there something wrong with you?
Calmly, he entered a theater.
Yangzhou, like Tianjin, has many theaters and famous actors.
The legendary Yangzhou Shou Ma was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, and was extremely good at playing, playing and singing.
However, not all Yangzhou thin horses can marry into wealthy families. A considerable number of them end up in theaters and become famous actors.
It's evening now, which is when the theater is bustling. People are coming and going in an endless stream.
Zhang Yong stood silently in the dark, observing his surroundings.
Suddenly, a figure appeared.
He couldn't help but twitch violently for a few times. Then he calmed down.
