Chapter 430 Black Dragon Society would rather die than surrender
The prefect Zhang Mingtang was looking at the disheveled prostitutes in the backyard, lamenting the misfortune of Japanese women. Fortunately, the Qing government's benevolence and morality saved Japanese women from dire straits. He did not dare to enter the Sakura Tower, as bursts of gunfire could be heard intermittently. , the dangerous place is reserved for the big bosses of the new martial arts hall.
The one hundred officers under Zhang Mingtang are responsible for guarding the perimeter of Sakura Tower and gathering the prostitutes and clients. These two tasks are not too difficult for him. He is in the corridor, loudly ordering his subordinates to drive away the two Call some people and drive the Japanese women into several rooms on the west side of the backyard. There are quite a few Japanese women. They have already counted one hundred and thirty-five. They drive the shivering prostitutes directly into the yard and let them go. They blow the night wind.
Surrounded by thirty government officials, the chubby governor Zhang Ye was very busy, thinking that if he confiscated the Sakura Building and sold it, he would make a lot of money. Zhang Ye was the master of the prefect Zhang Mingtang. He was born as a scholar, and was a fellow villager with the prefect Zhang Mingtang. Most of the close confidants around officials in the Qing Dynasty were relatives from the same hometown, and now they also have ninth-grade official titles.
Zhang Ye stood at the door of the west wing, looking at the disheveled Japanese prostitutes and feeling sorry for them. They were about to be deported back to Japan in their youthful and lovely years. The imperial commissioner was really a cruel creature and did not care at all about the physiological needs of the people of the Qing Dynasty. , it’s just a part-time job, making money by looking good, although it doesn’t sound good, but the yamen cannot do without this income. He does not agree with one-time transactions. Water needs to flow slowly to feed hundreds of people in the yamen. Loyalty is hard to hear, but it is helpful to practice. You must tell the imperial envoy Li Adults bluntly said that the Japanese prostitutes in Sakura Tower are like Tianjin's delicious snacks, hemp flowers and Goubuli. Their special sexual services have become the pillars of Tianjin's tourism industry, adding to the beautiful scenery of Tianjin Wei.
A large group of noisy prostitutes were frightened by the officers and soldiers who rushed into the room with knives and guns. When they woke up, they were driven into the backyard by the officers and soldiers. The disheveled prostitutes were shivering from the cold. The weather in September in the north was so cold at night. They have to cover themselves with quilts and let these rich businessmen and dandy boys kneel in the yard, and they will all get seriously ill.
"My lord, I haven't broken any laws. Please give me some clothes to wear. I still have some banknotes here. Can I redeem the clothes? Sniff, sniff." A skinny prostitute sneezed repeatedly. He was only wearing underwear and was wearing a flower. The pants speak to the sentiments of most of the prostitutes. Their personal belongings are brought out by them, and their money bags are tightly held in their hands. Even the clothes are not allowed to be worn, and they are deliberately punished. Official servants are the same as prostitutes. The Lord who is jealous of money.
An officer shouted: "Those who want to redeem their clothes, please come to my side. The price will not be higher than two taels of silver. If you don't want to give it, just continue to kneel on the ground and wait for dawn to let the officer find out." , where are you from, are you a prostitute or a member of the Black Dragon Society?"
"I gave it to me, but it froze me to death."
Seeing that they could stand up and still have clothes to wear, the more than thirty clients stood up one after another. The owner who could spend the night in Sakura Tower with a Japanese prostitute in his arms had no shortage of two taels of silver.
The official was well versed in extortion skills. Master Zhang Ye rolled his eyes, ran to the group of prostitutes, and shouted to the official: "When daybreak, take all these people back to the Yamen, and bring them back to the Yamen for interrogation. What does it have to do with the Black Dragon Society? He is staying here as a prisoner of the imperial court. We cannot let a criminal go."
They were paraded through the streets and imprisoned in the yamen. Not only that, the discerning clients asked about the price and how much money was needed to cut ties with the Black Dragon Society. Many of them were well-known people in Tianjin Wei. How can you let your reputation be ruined?
One of the prostitutes also knew Master Zhang Ye and said in surprise: "Master Zhang, you don't know me anymore. I am Manager Chu of Kaiyuan Company. You forgot the last time we had a drink together."
Zhang Ye glanced at the person who was putting on his coat, and immediately remembered who it was, and his expression immediately became very strange. Chu Xiangfeng was the brother-in-law of the Imperial Envoy Li Guolou, and he remembered that he was the biological brother of the Sixth Lady Chu Xiangyu. Then he came Li Guolou founded the "Open Source Company" for buying and selling grains and flour and worked as a department manager. He caught the imperial envoy's brother-in-law as a prostitute and made a fuss about it, telling the imperial envoy Li where to put his face.
Zhang Ye became anxious, and immediately winked at the person next to him, and asked the official to take Chu Xiangfeng out to a secluded corner. He talked to Chu Xiangfeng alone, stamped his foot, and said angrily: "Manager Chu, you have only been in Tianjin Guard for a few days. !If you don’t learn well, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Mr. Li?”
Chu Xiangfeng didn't know that the commander of this arrest operation was Li Guolou, otherwise he would have raised his head and chest with force. Now his body is hunched, as if he has returned to the past to perform water escape techniques on the stage. It is better to get underground and transform into He turned invisible and defended himself: "Master Zhang, I can't help it. Mr. Luo, the water transport escort from Liangjiang, is here. I am not doing my best to show my friendship as a landlord. This can be spent with public funds. Mr. Li allows it."
Hearing that there were three officials hiding among the prostitutes, Zhang Ye was at a loss. The water transport escort paid a lot of money to sit in the seat. If he threw away his hat for a prostitute, wouldn't he become a man of the ages? He lowered his voice: "Hey, who? Let's get acquainted. Manager Chu, I will let you go later. Take your three friends back together and apologize to Mr. Luo on behalf of Magistrate Zhang and me. Don't blame those who don't know."
Chu Xiangfeng was already familiar with the rules of the officialdom and hurriedly said: "Thank you Master Zhang for your help. I will come to thank you immediately. Don't tell Master Li. Whether I can keep my position depends on you."
Chu Xiangfeng got rid of her identity as an actress by relying on her sister Chu Xiangyu to tease Li Guolou on the bed. How could Chu Xiangfeng get back to her original form just to have sex with a Japanese prostitute? Chu Xiangfeng's heart skipped a beat It was only then that I finally calmed down. Fortunately among the misfortunes, someone among the officials knew me and I escaped the disaster.
"Then I have to ask Manager Chu to tell me that we will meet each other when we look up in Tianjin." Zhang Ye was laughing in his stomach. He bought a favor for Chu Xiangfeng, and later asked Chu Xiangfeng to find a good job for his brother-in-law in Kaiyuan Company. Against the brother-in-law, no one will suffer.
The Black Dragon Society is a rebel organization in Japan. They have the characteristic of willing to die without giving in and resisting in the end. The Bushido spirit makes them unwilling to surrender. There are constant gunshots in the Sakura Building. Members of the Black Dragon Society who claim to be Kung Fu masters are constantly being shot. Gunfire, shouting There were constant sounds of killing, and although they were suddenly attacked by the government, the members of the Black Dragon Society who resisted died righteously, and their stubborn resistance bought time for other brothers.
There were more than a hundred members of the Black Dragon Club in the Sakura Building. They were suddenly attacked by the government. They rushed in and arrested them. They shot more than a dozen people to death and arrested dozens more, giving the remaining fifty or so Black Dragon Club members time to organize a resistance. , most of them were barefoot, holding samurai swords or short guns, shooting to resist the attacks of officers and soldiers while gathering together.
"Brother, the back door is also blocked. You can't get out!" A tattooed man with a gunshot wound on his shoulder covered his bloody shoulder and led a group of people back through the back door. The power of the volley of guns was not The katana can resist it.
"Why did the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty arrest us? We didn't rebel. What on earth did you do, Taichiro?" In this panic, a member of the Black Dragon Club did not forget to ask Taichiro, the leader of the Tianjin Black Dragon Club. This kind of Offending the Qing Dynasty officials led to a fatal disaster, and only the boss knew the reason.
Taichiro thinks that he has great hands and eyes, and is a well-known name in Tianjin Wei. The people in the government have long been bribed by the Black Dragon Society. They act with loyalty and can sleep peacefully. The tattoos of the members of the Sakura Tower Black Dragon Society are enough to scare away the ruffians in Tianjin Wei. He also bribed many informants in the government. If Yasuda Youbei made any mistakes and the assassination of Li Guolou failed, and Li Guolou came to seek revenge, he could hide in the American concession with the backbone of the Black Dragon Society and apply for political asylum. There are also people in San Francisco, USA. There are no Black Dragon Club brothers anywhere in the world. Who would have thought that Li Guolou would move so fast that he didn't even have time to escape.
More than fifty members of the Black Dragon Society were forced back by the volleys of guns from the officers and soldiers. They were already forced to the west side of the building. They looked at the flames outside the window and had no place to hide. They had been forced into a desperate situation by the officers and soldiers.
"Li Guolou, it must be Li Guolou, avenging private revenge. He is the public enemy of our great Japan." Taichiro shouted, holding a short gun and a samurai sword inserted at his waist. His imposing manner made people think that he was a He is a world-famous hero, but unfortunately he is a little short, his legs are too short, he is standing on the wooden floor with bare feet, his two hairy thick legs are a little fluttery, and he is still not standing firmly. It seems that one can catch two at night. The game made him very tired.
"The officers and soldiers didn't shout to surrender their guns and not to kill, so they expected us to fight stubbornly! Taichilang, you must have really listened to Qiao Benlongxing's last words and went to assassinate Li Guolou. You are too stupid, Bage Yalu." A member of the Black Dragon Club stared at Taichiro in disbelief.
"Then let the braided dog take a look at the bushido spirit of our great Japan. Charge me and kill!" Taichiro ferociously pulled out his samurai sword and hacked to death the little brother who called him a pig. A group of people splashed, making a mess like ants on a hot pot, but the people in the room calmed down. The big brother still has the spirit of the big brother. The Japanese samurai who would rather die than surrender must be so majestic.
In this room, there were guns, knives and ammunition hidden, so the members of the Black Dragon Society fled here. More than fifty Black Dragon Society members, fully armed, were ready to start a life-and-death contest with the officers and soldiers. Taichiro waved all the brothers to charge out the door. No matter there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, Japanese samurai are the great Japanese heroes who fight their way through foreign lands and wander around in foreign lands.
Bullets were flying everywhere, and the members of the Black Dragon Society, who were still resisting, still did not want to be captured without mercy. The members of the Black Dragon Society organized their formation and prepared to charge. A dozen people were divided into three teams, and they rushed out of the room with a volley of guns.
"As soon as the door opened a crack, a huge grenade was suddenly thrown into the room. There was a loud "rumbling" sound. Battelle, a tall man among the officers and soldiers, threw a grenade. The sliding door immediately exploded, and the wooden door was shattered. The chips were flying, the smoke filled the air, the choking smoke filled the breath, and two more grenades came one after another. The officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were not afraid of causing a fire, and directly used explosives to attack the members of the Black Dragon Society who were stubbornly resisting.
The power of the three grenades was shocking, and the results were astonishing. The Black Dragon Club members who were still in the room were blown to pieces. The organized charge no longer existed. The Black Dragon Club members with injured hands and feet fell to the ground, screaming, Some people were hit in the head by shrapnel and fell directly to the ground without a chance to scream.
The dozen or so members of the Black Dragon Guild who rushed out of the room were not much better. They were all hit by volleys of gunfire, either dead or injured. The Black Dragon Guild's offensive could not last even one round and ended in complete defeat.
Battelle commanded the school officer, rushed into the room and shot again, killing all the standing Black Dragon Club members. A dozen remnants of the Black Dragon Club who were lying on the ground survived. Taichilang's life should not be cut off, he was hit by the grenade. Lang was knocked unconscious from the shock, tied into a rice dumpling, and beaten and kicked by the officers and soldiers, knocking out several front teeth, before being lifted out by Battle with one hand.
The fire was extinguished by the officers and soldiers before it formed. An arrest operation in which officers and soldiers were killed and injured made the officers and soldiers become ferocious. Sporadic gunshots came in waves, making people feel the atmosphere of terror.
Taichiro knelt naked in front of Li Guolou. The huge gap in status made Taichiro tied up like a rice dumpling and kneeling in the cold corridor. He was surrounded by noisy scoldings, the cries of many women, and the screams. There were still bursts of screams, which suddenly stopped. It was the brothers of the Black Dragon Society who were being slaughtered. He looked up at the standing Li Guo Tower, and his body was shaking. Was it fear or cold? Taichiro was ashamed that his clothes were not covering his body and he was treated like a monkey. tease.
Li Guolou lowered his head and looked at Taichiro. This is the fate of a loser. In a critical moment, he did not let his men block the enemy for him, nor did he follow the example of Liu Bei, the hero of Taoyuan, who left his wife behind, mounted his horse, and flew across the stream. , but was not afraid in the face of danger, went to the front line in person, and lived and died with his men, so he was still alive and could watch his enemies kneeling in front of him, waiting for the judgment of fate like a dead dog.
The firearms and ammunition found from the Sakura Building were piled in the center of the front yard. The quantity was huge and could be used to fight a battle. Piles of weapons and ammunition were placed in the yard, proving that the Black Dragon Society was ambitious and had evil intentions.
"I'm reporting to the Imperial Envoy, Zhang Santu and Li Erliang are all members of the Black Dragon Society." An official envoy sold out his brother. It was a rare opportunity. If he didn't betray his brother, how could he get promoted and make a fortune.
In an instant, there was an explosion among the government officials who had been living in harmony among the officers and soldiers. Someone was accused of being a member of the Black Dragon Society. There was a panic in the courtyard: "Zhao Liu, you are talking nonsense. I will slap you to death with a brick brick." Zhang San. Tu was furious, but the gun in his hand was snatched away by Zhao Liu, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Li Guolou turned around and said, "Take off your clothes."
Needless to say, Zhang Santu and Li Erliang were immediately pressed to the chest with several guns, and their soap clothes were stripped off. The tattoo hidden on the back was the tattoo of the blue dragon, which was irrefutable.
Li Guolou said angrily: "Beat me. Anyone who doesn't recognize his ancestors and would rather be a traitor should die."
The officers and soldiers next to him were thinking of avenging their dead brothers. They beat the two Japs to death without having to pay for their lives. They punched and kicked the two officers and knocked them unconscious. At least their ribs were broken. I don't know if their spleens were ruptured. Who cares about Black Dragon? The two remaining Japanese devils will live and die.
Li Guolou had long forgotten his Catholic faith. In fact, he was also a fake foreign devil who rebelled against his ancestors. He was scolded by people from all walks of life in Tianjin during the Tianjin Mission Case. At this time, he transformed into a pure national hero and was inherited.
Loved by the people of Tianjin for his patriotism, the Black Dragon Society assassination made him turn around and become the embodiment of justice who dared to fight against the evil forces.
