A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

"Okay, okay, there are no outsiders, don't do this."

"Yes, uncle." Hong Tianci also took advantage of the situation to relax and sat on the sofa beside him.

"You, don't mess around with Aaron and the others all day. Don't you have anything to do? Recently, I heard that there is a revolutionary party in Guangdong. The situation is very unstable. We must protect the safety of the people of Hong Kong. "

Assistant Qi said.

"I will try my best, Uncle." Hong Tianci nodded in agreement, and then said, "But I have another matter to ask Uncle for your help... Have you recently received an invitation from Baoshun Trading Company to attend their reception ?”

"Yeah, in fact, these foreign companies have to invite Hong Kong official figures to the reception every once in a while. Those ghosts like this, but I usually decline it. I don't have time to do business when I always go to drink! Assistant Qi lit a cigarette and replied to his nephew while smoking.

Hong Tianci immediately interjected: "That would be great... Uncle, please pass on the invitation this time. Aaron, he received a wrong report before, and almost swept away Baoshunxing's warehouse on the pier as smuggled goods , I feel very sorry, and I want to find a chance to apologize to these ghosts and be soft, so as not to be troubled in the future."

"It's Aaron again..."

Deputy Qi snorted dissatisfiedly, but after thinking about it, this approach was not wrong, nodded again, and said: "He has finally improved. Sometimes things can't be done by rampage. Of course, the British help the British. We can't stand it." If they want to maintain order, they have to follow other people's rules.

"It's a good thing to think of being subdued...I can take you two there and introduce you to Manager Shi Mi, and then you can be smarter."

"Uncle, don't worry."

Hong Tianci said, and talked with his uncle for a while before leaving for the Marine Police Building.

Having said that, Zhuo Yifei's ability to sneak into Baoshunxing means that Luo Sanpao gave all the correct information, and there are indeed pirate insiders in the foreign firm; The top management will not know.If the two of us go through official channels and go openly, there will be no problem.

As long as you enter Baoshunxing, it will be much easier to meet Zhuo Yifei. It is not impossible to ask him face to face what news he has found out, or the three of them can make a careful plan together.

When I came back, I found Ma Rulong, and after talking about Deputy Qi being invited to take them there, Hong Tianci immediately made arrangements: "That little brother who sells newspapers...you can ask him to pass the news back to Zhuo Yifei." head?"

If Zhuo Yifei could come out, of course he wouldn't need to pass on information in such a sneaky way; unfortunately, even if he had completely gained the trust of the pirates, he couldn't walk around the streets to avoid arousing suspicion.

In the early hours of this morning, he had to sneak out of the foreign firm while everyone in Baoshun was still asleep. Fortunately, he ran into the little brother who delivered the morning paper within a few steps, otherwise he would have almost failed to pass the news.

Now he is playing the role of a remnant pirate who uses a fake identity as a guard and lives under the fence. It is normal to not want to attract attention. If he goes out before the early morning and is discovered by others, it will really easily arouse suspicion and reveal his identity. .

At this time, he sent a message, no need to take any risky actions, he has completely integrated into the crowd, and is squatting in the warehouse to eat with his job bowl in hand.

After eating one bowl, I didn't feel full enough. When I was about to add a second bowl, I saw the "inside guy" come in with a bearded man on the side, leaving someone outside to watch the wind and bolted the door.

While walking, this bearded Rong asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"Brother Rong, when did my news go wrong? Baoshunhang has stored a batch of smoke soil in the warehouse on the dock, and the total price of the goods must not be less than 5 taels of official silver. But there are ghosts with guys day and night in the warehouse The guards are very difficult."

The insider answered in this way, and Zhuo Yifei who was listening next to him suddenly had an idea, and realized that this is the batch of goods he found before!

Hu Xurong patted the insider on the shoulder, sighed and said: "We now, these few people, don't want to do anything under the eyes of the ghost. Besides, we don't have a boat, even if we wait for their goods to go out to sea, we won't be able to do anything." Opportunity to start..."

The insider smiled, and said to Hu Xurong: "Brother Rong, it's not easy for us to stay on the island... But now, we are members of Baoshun Foreign Company. Under normal circumstances, these ghosts would not believe us , will only ask us to guard the warehouse, but what if they have no other manpower? At that time, they have to believe it if they don’t believe it, and now they are recruiting people, it is better to use us directly.”

Hu Xurong's eyes lit up: "Good brother, what a great plan. When the boat goes out to sea, if the sky should not be called the earth, it's not our people who have the final say!"

The two counted their brothers in the warehouse.

In the past few days, several brothers who ran out when Sanpao Island was attacked have come to join them, and there are six of them in total.

If you want to hijack a merchant ship, six people is a bit small, but if you have all the weapons and do the mental calculation, it should be enough.

After thinking about it, the insider said with a smile: "If you want to do it, it's better to start it at the reception the day after tomorrow... These ghosts have invited a group of celebrities to dance and have fun. Maybe we can get some help from these people." Grab some gold, silver and jewels from your body. We locked the gate of the foreign firm, and became thieves first, and then soldiers, without anyone noticing it!"

No.16 chapters come one after another

The news about Ma Rulong and Hong Tianci failed to reach Zhuo Yifei in the end.

No matter how many newspaper sellers there are and no matter how capable they are, it is impossible for them to come in and out of the foreign firm at will; and Hu Xurong and a few pirate brothers over there are discussing a big event. Individuals run around.

After discussing the plan, several people had to sleep together even when they slept, and they had to count the time when they went to the latrine. Even Zhuo Yifei, who was very skilled, had no chance to escape from their sight, and was about to go crazy Yes, but there's nothing I can do...

Soon it was the day of the reception, and everyone had to act even if they didn't know what to do.

Hong Tianci and Ma Rulong put on brand-new police uniforms, and followed Deputy Qi to the three-story building of Baoshun Co., Ltd.

As today's host, Shi Mi, the manager of the Hong Kong branch of Matheson Bank, stood in front of the door in a well-dressed manner, welcoming the guests who came to the reception.

As Deputy Qi said, many celebrities and gentlemen in Hong Kong appeared on the scene, and Ma Rulong could only recognize the Governor of Hong Kong, the Commissioner of Police, and members of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

When Deputy Qi came over, Manager Shi Mi's eyes lit up, and he walked down the steps to greet a few people, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Bangban Qi! Rare customer, rare customer."

"Hey, I've pushed Mr. Shi Mi's reception too many times. I finally have some time today. Of course, I have to be more sensible and come to the appointment."

"Welcome, I'm very welcome." Manager Shi Mi laughed, then cast his gaze behind Deputy Qi, and asked, "Are these two..."

"Oh, this is a new star in Hong Kong's police circle, Hong Tianci and Ma Rulong, the two police officers who joined forces to destroy Luo Sanpao, the giant pirate at sea." Deputy Qi immediately introduced.

"You two are really young and promising... Ah, I'm sorry, please help yourself, I'll be back later." Before Shi Mi said a few words of politeness, he saw another big man coming, and hurriedly left a few people behind He went to the back, so that Deputy Qi who wanted to say something to Ma Rulong didn't have time to speak.

"Go ahead." Deputy Qi shook his head helplessly. Foreign devils are like this. No matter how polite they are on the surface, they will always show their true nature unintentionally—they don't care about you from the bottom of their hearts.

A few people walked into the hall where Baoshun Foreign Co., Ltd. was cleaned up, and saw the crowd bustling with people. The temporary bars on both sides were filled with drinks, and people surrounded by high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Even Deputy Qi couldn't squeeze in for a while. .

The silver-haired governor of Hong Kong was talking at the center of the reception, talking about "maintaining Hong Kong's status as a core transshipment port in Southeast Asia", "developing the financial industry to absorb capital", "development of Kowloon", etc., even if the people next to him disagreed with it at all He also pretended to be interested in agreeing with his opinion.

As they talked, these people talked about "the protection of Britain's interests in this big eastern country" and other issues, which made Ma Rulong feel bored for a while.

"I'm going to look for Fatty, you are here to help me cover."

He stabbed Hong Tianci in the ribs, said this to him, and quickly disappeared into the corridor behind the hall while no one was paying attention.

Hong Tianci coughed, looked around unnaturally, and simply went to the middle of the crowd, went to his uncle Qi's assistant, and talked with the rich about the funding of the police force.

Ma Rulong, who walked out of the hall, pretended to relieve himself, but when he saw that no one was staring at him, he groped towards the back of the three-story small western-style building.

The three-story building of Baoshun Foreign Firm has more than a dozen rooms on each floor, and there is a hall in the middle and a hall in the front and back. The outside is surrounded by a corridor with stairs for going up and down. The windows outside the corridor are sealed. Anti-theft steel bars.

Take the first floor as an example, apart from the offices, washrooms and other rooms on the east and west sides, the main hall facing the south is the main hall of the foreign company. The door is used as a warehouse.

At this time, Ma Rulong walked back from the corridor on one side by mistake, and saw two figures turning out from the other end, one of them whispered to the other: "Is the back door really locked? But Can't go wrong."

The other man was a fat man with broad shoulders and a broad back, which almost blocked the entire corridor. Hearing his question, he replied impatiently: "It's locked, absolutely no problem, just wait for Brother Rong to lock the front door, and we can start the door." .”

Hearing this voice, Ma Rulong's expression froze, and he was about to call out Fatty's name subconsciously, but remembered that the other party's current identity should be a pirate, so he held back.

On the contrary, the thinner pirate on the opposite side saw Ma Rulong's face clearly under the light first, and exclaimed: "Ma——"

As soon as he spoke, Zhuo Yifei who was beside him turned around abruptly, stretched out his hands to pinch his head and neck, and pulled them out forcefully.Hearing a "click", the pirate didn't even hum, and died crookedly under the window sill.

"Hey, I promised Luo Sanpao..."

Ma Rulong rushed forward and complained to Zhuo Yifei while supporting the corpse to prevent it from hitting the ground.

"Yes, yes, yes, we brothers have to live. Tell him to call out your name, and you will die immediately? Speaking of which, you can count it. If you don't come to me, I might have to go with these pirates Kill the Governor of Hong Kong."

Zhuo Yifei also said, looked left and right, quickly pushed open a door beside him, picked up the pirate's body and stuffed it into the empty room.

"Governor?" Ma Rulong felt that the situation was wrong, and immediately asked: "What do you mean? What happened in the past two days?"

"These two days? That's really a lot of things, I don't know where to start. This matter is too complicated, let's explain it while we are doing business!"

As Zhuo Yifei said, he closed the door carefully, put his hand on Ma Rulong's arm, and dragged him to the front hall.

The pirates are about to launch, and when the front hall door is locked, they rush in wearing masks to kidnap a lot of important people... After looting the belongings of these people, they will also take Baoshun kill a group of people, and finally have to act like a heroic resistance against pirates in the warehouse before the police come in...

This plan is very bold, but it has to be said that it is still very feasible. None of the high-ranking people present would have imagined that there would be armed robbery on the site of Bao Shun Co., Ltd., the most peaceful place in Hong Kong.

This plan would not have been possible if the pirates hadn't buried insiders in Baoshun and mixed in personnel in advance.

Zhuo Yifei dragged Ma Rulong to the corridor next to the front hall, hid behind the arch, and pointed out to him the important people in the field: "Hey, that is Mr. Mai, who came to negotiate with Baoshun Co., Ltd. on behalf of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi; that is On the surface, Mr. Zhang has nothing to do with Baoshun Foreign Firm. In fact, he is a professional broker who holds shares in various foreign firms. The last one is Shi Mi, the manager of the foreign firm. You should have met him. Have you received my news? One is the person who planned to enclose land in Guangdong and Guangxi that night, and they also said that they will issue a detailed plan to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the next two days."

After Zhuo Yifei finished telling Ma Rulong what he had discovered and the plans of the pirates, the quick-witted marine policeman rolled his eyes and said immediately: "It is impossible for us to avoid this mess now, we can only follow the plan. !"

As he spoke, he immediately stepped back, taking off his clothes while retreating.

"You and the dead ghost in the room were supposed to block the corridor here, right? They also have masks?" Ma Rulong asked.

A few minutes later, he came out of the room where the corpse was hidden. Zhuo Yifei saw that he had just put the clothes of the dead pirate on the outside of the uniform.Ma Rulong and the two pirates were about the same in shape, at first glance, they really couldn't tell who they were.

Ma Rulong put on his hat, held the mask found from the man in one hand, and held the man's pistol in the other, and said to Zhuo Yifei, "You have to be alert and cover it for me. What's the beard in a while?" Rong' is going to search the belongings of the guests, right? At that time, I will go straight to the three people and get the ring space in their hands. You go to Tianci and tell him not to make trouble, wait for my signal to start together , don’t let these pirates kill people.”

"...Wow, if I don't move fast enough, will I still be beaten by him?" Zhuo Yifei immediately complained in a low voice, but he didn't have time to think about anything else, because the two squatting in the shadow had already discovered that the foreign firm The front door was locked tightly at some point, and it must have been locked by Luo Sanpao's inside line, and the pirates were about to launch.

Sure enough, before the two breaths were out of breath, there was a bang, and the chandelier above the lobby of the foreign company was hit, and the two light bulbs went dark in an instant, and the glass shards of the lampshade fell to the ground, causing the guests to scream back away.

Before the Governor of Hong Kong, the Chief of Police and others in the field could react, a burly man was already standing at the door, holding a pistol in each hand, fired two shots, and shouted: "Don't move, I'll give you all!" I squat down! Hu Xurong only seeks money, not life. But if you don't have the vision to move around, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

Following his yelling, a few black figures with loaded pistols flashed around, and Zhuo Yifei and Ma Rulong also hurriedly stood at the entrance of the corridor at the back of the hall, blocking the way for everyone to escape.

"'Hu Xurong'? Isn't that the big pirate on Sanpao Island?" Deputy Qi, who had read the relevant records, said to himself doubtfully, "These people are the remnants of the pirates?... Wait, Aaron, Aaron Where did you go?"

While dealing with his uncle's problems, Hong Tianci also reached out to touch the back of his waist... Although today is the reception held by Baoshun Trading Co., and originally he was not allowed to bring weapons, but he has his own way.

But... There are several pirates in the field, and everyone is wearing masks, wearing black clothes, and holding guns, so I can't deal with it alone.

Just when he was hesitating, he saw a fat man approaching aggressively from the other side of the corridor, and slapped him on the back of the head: "Brother Rong is talking, don't whisper!"

Hong Tianci was furious, and just about to scold back, the fat man wearing a mask suddenly whispered: "I'm Zhuo Yifei, wait for our signal!"

At the front door, Beard Rong smiled complacently under the mask.

The dignitaries of the high society in front of him are just like a flock of frightened quail under his gun, which is very satisfying.

"...Squat down for me, put your head in your hands and don't talk, and you can stand up when you tap someone!"

Chapter No.17 The Wind Rises Suddenly

"Are you all fools?"

After being brought alone in front of Hu Xurong, the Governor of Hong Kong couldn't help but say that.

Hijacking hostages at the reception of Baoshun Foreign Firm really paid off a lot.As one of the most important unofficial industries in Hong Kong, this foreign firm has already been regarded as "no white man" in normal times, and it brings together the most important high-level people in Hong Kong at this kind of gathering.

But because there are so many important people, if something happens to Bao Shunxing, the whole of Hong Kong, no, the whole world will be shaken.No one thinks that after robbing the governor of Hong Kong, he can go out alive and spend the money, right?No way?

Even if they blocked all the exits first, they would definitely attract the attention of the security personnel. Now the police outside and the British army should have also got the news and are gathering.Within a few minutes, the place will be surrounded so heavily that not even a mosquito can fly out.

If these pirates were not fools, why did they choose this time to come here to take hostages?No, after all, how did they know that there was a big shot here, and how did they get past the security guards and sentries outside?

"Stop talking nonsense, dead ghost."

Hu Xurong scolded, and threw a cloth bag to him: "Put all valuables on your body in it, don't leak it, if you miss one, I'll make a hole in your body. Watches, rings, what are those on your chest? Throw them in... Uh, and that thing on the cuff..."

While putting the brooch and cufflinks into the bag with a dark face, the governor was still trying to persuade: "Sir, you have to think carefully, even if you walk out of this door today, you will not be able to snatch it. Take things out. I don’t think it’s better than this. As long as you give up now, I can persuade the police to give you a lighter charge on the grounds of ‘no serious consequences’. You don’t know how much energy and important identities the people present have. ?”

"Governor of Hong Kong, I know who you are, the head of Hong Kong." Hu Xurong sneered, "We need you to do something, but you will know in a while."

At this moment, Ma Rulong, pretending to be an accomplice of the pirates, took the bag to the crowd squatting in place, and found his target—that Mr. Mai, and Mr. Zhang squatting next to him.

Mr. Mai stood out among the group of people, because he was the only one wearing a top hat with a braid hanging down the back of the hat.Not only that, he was also wearing a robe, a suit vest, and a pair of glasses, looking gentle.

The surrounding pirates have already started attacking a group of people, trying to snatch as many as possible before the guards of the foreign firm and the police outside rush in.

"You, both of you, put your valuables in your bags."

Ma Rulong deliberately carried Mr. Mai and Mr. Zhang to the side facing Deputy Qi, dropped the cloth bag, and winked at Hong Tianci over there.

Hong Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then he noticed that the figure of this man was quite familiar, and the mask on his face was lifted up a large piece, he suddenly realized, jumped up and said: "Hey, stop, don't you guys be afraid of Wang Fa? ?”

Deputy Qi was dumbfounded, desperately tugged on his nephew's sleeve to make him squat down, and whispered: "You are crazy, God-given, don't be a hero at this time!"

But Hong Tianci ignored him at all, and instead pointed at Ma Rulong who had walked over and cursed: "You bastard, you are really daring, reckless, out of thin air, unscrupulous, arbitrary, what do you want, tell me what you want!" ..."

Hearing the meaning of his words, Ma Rulong became more and more wrong. Afraid of revealing his secrets, he quickly gestured the gun in his hand to his face a few times, coughed twice, glared at him, and shouted: "Fatty, let this ignorant thing Take it out and give him some pain!"

Zhuo Yifei, who was standing still at the entrance of the corridor watching the excitement, came over with a suppressed smile, pretended to punch Hong Tianci in the stomach, and then stretched out his foot to kick the begging Assistant Qi over, pinching Hong Tianci on purpose. "I'll teach him a lesson" came out of his throat, and he dragged Hong Tianci into the corridor.

As soon as he was out of the sight of everyone in the hall, Hong Tianci straightened up and broke away from Zhuo Yifei's hand, complaining: "What the hell are you two doing, why didn't you tell me? Also, you didn't have to hit my uncle just now Well, he is already old, you are really unreliable."

"I'm unreliable? I just kicked him lightly. I went to the mountain of swords and the pan of oil for your affairs. If I make a wrong step, I will lose my life. How can I not pretend to be a little bit?" Zhuo Yifei habitually retorted, and then started to talk about business: "Aaron found those two who are the real owners of the enclosure..."

[62. No. 62]

He informed Hong Tianci of the situation he had obtained, while Ma Rulong viciously forced Mr. Mai and Mr. Zhang to take out all their previous things.

The two of them were already hiding secrets in their hearts, so they couldn't help showing a little nervousness at this moment, telling Ma Rulong that he caught him.

"...Wait, what do you have in your sleeve? Why do you keep covering it?"

He stopped immediately, grabbed Mr. Mai who was in a suit, vest and robe, slapped him on the face, and stretched out his hand to pull a stack of papers from his sleeve.

This slap actually exceeded the limit required for acting, and it was a bit venting, but it happened to frighten Assistant Qi, who was still fidgeting and worried about his nephew, and squatted back quickly.

"...No, that thing is worthless..." Mr. Mai was so frightened that he was about to reach out to grab it, but was slapped back again.At this moment, he felt extremely remorseful, why couldn't he find a quiet room alone if he had to talk to the people from Baoshunxing at the reception?

However, who would have imagined that the highest standard reception in Hong Kong would be robbed by pirates?

Mr. Zhang, a professional broker, supported the "Governor's Special Envoy" with a stern expression on his face, but he didn't move. He just comforted Mr. Mai in a low voice: "They don't understand that thing... don't worry, after the event We will go to heaven and earth to catch these pirates and slaughter them."

Isn't Mr. Mai's sleeve loaded with the detailed strategy of the so-called "Guangdong and Guangxi plantations" initiated by Baoshun Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.?Or in British parlance, something called a "plan".
