"Hello, sir!"
Even though he was injured, Song Ziqiang still maintained his military style and his back was straight.
Until now, he had thought that Meng Shaoyuan was a colonel, not a major at the same level as him.
One mouthful for each officer.
"Brother Ziqiang."
Meng Shaoyuan was polite to him: "How is the treatment for your leg?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Song Ziqiang said in a loud voice: "After treatment by a French doctor, he said that although my leg was seriously injured, it could be cured as long as it was treated properly in the early stage and would not affect the health of my leg after a period of recuperation in Shanghai. In the future, when running and walking, it is inevitable that there will be soreness on rainy days."
"Ah, that's good, that's good." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I admire you very much for your bloody battles on the front line. Now that you have arrived in Shanghai, I will definitely try my best to protect each of you. Brother Ziqiang , I’ve investigated you, so don’t worry about it. You used to be famous, nicknamed ‘Double Sword Song Ziqiang’, right?”
Song Ziqiang nodded, admitting it.
"Where's your knife?"
"Knife?" Song Ziqiang said expressionlessly: "Besides fighting with the little Japanese with bayonets, where else can I use a knife now? A row of machine gun bullets, and corpses lying on the ground!"
Meng Shaoyuan really investigated Song Ziqiang seriously.
Since he offended Ji Yunqing, he escaped and joined the army. He just had a strong personality and contradicted his superiors several times, so he never got promoted. After several years in the army, he was still just a small platoon leader.
If it weren't for his bravery in battle, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to sit in this position.
Later, he met Tang Shenghai by chance, and he took a fancy to him. Through connections, he got him under his command. Tang Shenghai rose through the ranks and became the commander of the 305th Regiment. Song Ziqiang also became a major battalion commander.
In the battle of Zhanggushan, Tang Shenghai was seriously injured. It was Song Ziqiang who risked his life to save Captain Tang regardless of his own injury.
Meng Shaoyuan took a fancy to such a talent at a glance.
Song Ziqiang didn't know that Shanghai was indeed a good place, but the man standing in front of him was not a good person. Those who were attracted by him would probably have difficulty escaping from his clutches.
"Ji Yunqing is a well-known gangster leader, but he suffered a big loss at your hands. You are also great." Meng Shaoyuan praised.
"Thank you, Sir Meng." Song Ziqiang replied loudly: "I was young and vigorous at that time, and I couldn't bear to bully good people. In a fit of anger, I ran away by myself, which brought endless trouble to my family. Speaking of which, for so many years I couldn’t see my family, and I felt very sorry for them, and I didn’t know whether they were doing well or how my younger brothers and sisters were doing.”
"Ah, we will always see you." Meng Shaoyuan comforted him a few times: "After the fall of Shanghai, Ji Yunqing and others were willing to act as traitors and bring disaster to Shanghai. Just yesterday, they bloodbathed the Peasants' Bank, causing six deaths and four injuries. Tragedy.”
"How unreasonable!" Song Ziqiang was furious: "He harmed Zhejiang when he was in Zhejiang, and now he is harming Shanghai again? I can ignore him if he goes rampant in the countryside, but if he becomes a traitor and betrays the country for glory? I will kill him!"
What I'm waiting for is your words.
When Meng Shaoyuan saw him for the first time, he found that this man was full of murderous intent, and he had already made plans to recruit him. But he is a serious officer, and he is also in the ace unit. It may not be that easy to force him to stay in Shanghai.
You have to do it step by step.
He even asked to stay in Shanghai.
"Brother Ziqiang." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Speaking of which, it is also my incompetence. As the head of the Shanghai latent area of the Military Command Bureau, it is my duty to eradicate traitors. Unfortunately, Ji Yunqing is an old and cunning person, and I have never found a chance to do it. . However, I found out that Ji Yunqing’s casino is located on Pingliang Road and opens on time every night. It is a very important source of money for Ji Yunqing. If it can be cracked down, it will have a very important effect!"
Upon hearing this, Song Ziqiang said: "Sir Meng, I request to participate in this operation!"
Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed. This was his original purpose, but he frowned: "Brother Ziqiang is very brave, but it's just your legs?"
"My legs are fine." Song Ziqiang moved deliberately: "Sir Meng, I am a soldier. Although I am not on the battlefield now, I can still kill enemies with a gun in Shanghai!"
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan praised: "My original intention was to ask Brother Ziqiang to help me. This time I destroyed Ji Yunqing's casino. I want Brother Ziqiang to hold the double sword again and kill the traitors! I want to tell Ji Yunqing that Song Ziqiang is back with the double sword. Got it!"
Song Ziqiang was happy.
He was famous for his use of knives. Later, when he joined the team, he found that knives had gradually been eliminated and he began to learn to use guns.
During the battle with Zhang Gushan, he used the sword again in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
In his heart, he never gave up his obsession with Dao.
it's good now.
Chief Meng actually encouraged himself to use a knife!
"Sir Meng, I'm ready for action at any time!"
"Well, don't go back today." Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered: "You are right here. If you need any weapons, I will have someone find them for you. We will take action after dinner!"
…
Pingliang Road, Liu Yezi Hutong.
This alley is famous among gamblers in Shanghai. It has all kinds of bets you want, and there is no limit on the size. You are guaranteed to have a great time gambling.
Previously, the most famous company in Shanghai was Boss Du's Sanxin Company. However, after Boss Du went to Hong Kong, the gambling industry in Shanghai was gradually taken over by Ji Yunqing.
Half-buying and half-forced, he bought all the houses in the area, spent the money to renovate them, and established the "Bola Club", which attracted a large number of gamblers.
Later, because his goddaughter She Aizhen was very popular with him, and in order to win over Wu Sibao, a capable general, he gave the Bora Club to She Aizhen to manage.
After Huang Jinrong retired and Du Yuesheng avoided trouble in Shanghai, in Shanghai, except for an old man from Jinghu who no longer cared about political affairs, Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin were the senior members of the Qing Gang.
Ji Yunqing had a large number of people and was supported by the Japanese. Although She Aizhen was a woman, she was not a kind person and was ruthless. Therefore, the Bora Club had never had any major troubles since its establishment.
There are gamblers who want to make a fortune by cheating. Once they are caught, one hand is determined to stay here.
"Cao Goose Head."
"Hey, Sister Aizhen."
Cao Goetou hurried over.
When She Aizhen was away, he was in charge here.
This man's head looks like a goose's head, hence his nickname.
"Boss Ji has made big moves recently, so you have to be careful here." She Aizhen looked at the gamblers who were shouting and yelling with their eyes red and said with satisfaction, "Don't let anything happen."
"Don't worry, Sister Aizhen." Cao Goose patted his chest: "Where is this place? Boss Ji's place. Who are you? Sister Aizhen, who knows who in Shanghai? Besides, brothers are all I'm afraid those guys who want to cause trouble are really too brave."
In fact, She Aizhen didn't believe that anyone dared to come here to cause trouble. It was just that her man Wu Sibao had just killed many people and she was worried about the other party's revenge.
"That's it, I have another game tonight, so I'll leave first."
"Sister Aizhen, don't worry, I'll see you off."
…
This was Meng Shaoyuan's first time entering the "Bolai Club".
Behind him were Xiao Zhong and Song Ziqiang, who was still limping.
He asked Xiaozhong to exchange chips worth a thousand yuan.
The ocean is always hard currency.
As soon as he made the move, he got a thousand yuan in exchange, which quickly attracted the attention of the casino.
The gambling table that Meng Shao originally came to was for odd and even betting, which was simple and exciting.
Without even looking, he took two hundred yuan in chips:
"one."
"Buy the deal and leave, let's go!"
The shaker opened the dice cup and separated the beans one by one: "Single!"
Those who paid the bill beat their chests and stamped their feet, while those who bought pairs were beaming.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Four hundred, single."
As a result, the order was still issued.
In an instant, six hundred oceans were gone.
Meng Shaoyuan still didn't care at all and put down the remaining four hundred ocean chips:
"one!"
The third time, it was another double!
A thousand oceans, only a short time later, all was lost.
Meng Shaoyuan took out his checkbook from his pocket and wrote a check: "Cash another three thousand oceans for me."
Xiao Zhong was about to take it, but a hand was already stretched out beside him: "Let me exchange it for you."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at him: "Who are you?"
"The person in charge here is named Cao."
"Boss Cao."
"Your name?"
"Meng."
"It's Boss Meng. You're a bit shy. Is this your first time here?"
"Yes, it's my first time."
Cao Goose waved his head and said: "Come here, help Boss Meng exchange chips."
Three thousand ocean chips were piled neatly there.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand and pushed them all out:
"one!"
Everyone gasped.
Good guy, this is a big gambler, three thousand oceans, all at once?
Cao Goose winked at the shaker.
The hand that shook the jar quietly held a bean:
"Buy it and leave! Place... order!"
"This is so unlucky." Xiao Zhong couldn't help but say: "Why are there four singles in a row?"
"Boss Meng is unlucky." Cao Etou said with a smile: "Do you think you should take a break and go inside to drink some tea while I find a girl to accompany you to vent your anger, or should you continue to play a few games?"
"Boss Cao." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I opened four orders in a row, so my luck is a bit bad. I heard that every ten gambling shops are cheated. What about your place?"
Cao Eitou's expression changed: "The Bora Club is the toughest gambling house in Shanghai. I don't know about other places, but gambling here is the toughest."
"Oh, is it so?"
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Then can I check the shaking cylinder?"
"What did you say?"
Cao Goose's expression changed.
"I said, I want to check here."
Cao Eitou sneered: "Do you know where this is? Who opened it?"
"Ji Yunqing's, but do you know who I am?"
