Zhang Ade's residence is on Houhai Street, Dongcheng District, very close to Dongjiao Minxiang District. It is a mansion with five courtyards. The living room is very spacious, with a full set of rosewood chairs on the north and south sides, and a marble table and stools in the middle of the south. A portrait of Li Lianying hangs on the south wall. In the middle of the east wall is a glass cabinet, which displays various antiques such as jasper, agate, coral, and strange rocks. There are bookshelves on both sides of the cabinet. To the west is a long sofa imported from England.
A servant in green clothes from the Zhang Mansion led Wu Chunfeng into the living room. When Wu Chunfeng passed by the front yard, he found that there were more than a dozen armed servants patrolling the front yard, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Butler Wang from the Zhang Mansion met Wu Chunfeng in the living room. Butler Wang was a thin man in his forties, wearing a blue gown. He smiled and said: "I heard that little brother wants to sell the ancestral jade? Take it out and show it to me."
Wu Chunfeng took out a red silk bag from his arms and opened it. Inside was a pair of crystal clear jade horses. He smiled at Butler Wang and said: "This is the jade horse left by my grandfather. In the past, he was not willing to sell it for a thousand yuan. Now the family is really short of money. I heard that Mr. Zhang of your house is an expert in antiques. , of course I know the seller well, so I sent it to you.”
Of course, this pair of jade horses is not inherited from ancestors, but was captured from the eradication of the Flying Eagle Gang. Butler Wang took the jade horse and looked at it and said: "You wait here, I will show it to the master."
Ten minutes later, Butler Wang came back angrily and said sternly to Wu Chunfeng: "I can't see that you are a liar at such a young age. You used such a shabby thing to deceive our master and said it was worth a thousand yuan. I It’s not even worth a copper plate.”
He threw the red silk bag on the table and said, "Take it back and get lost!"
Wu Chunfeng opened the red silk bag and was dumbfounded: the jade horse inside turned into two white stones. Although it was carved into the shape of a horse, the workmanship was extremely rough and indeed worthless. Butler Wang winked at the servants, and two strong servants armed with guns held the wooden sticks hanging on their waists and walked behind Wu Chunfeng.
Wu Chunfeng shouted excitedly: "This is not the stone I gave you. Did Butler Wang make a mistake?"
Before he finished speaking, a fat servant punched him to the ground and kicked him several times. The fat servant raised his wooden stick and said viciously: "Who do you think you are? You dare to accuse Butler Wang falsely? Get out of here!" , break your dog legs."
The obese Zhang Ade was wearing a purple silk robe and holding a snuff bottle in his hand. He stood in front of the second floor window and watched Wu Chunfeng stumble out of the gate of Zhang's mansion. He asked Butler Wang beside him: "Didn't this kid say anything?"
Butler Wang smiled and said: "He's just a stupid kid. He was beaten first and then said a few harsh words to scare him. How can he dare to say anything?"
Zhang Ade did not smile, but said in a cold tone: "Young people are more likely to be impulsive, but he is calm. This is a bit strange. Send someone to inquire about his origins. In addition, transport the three machine guns you bought last time to the house now. inside."
At Di Xiong's house, Wu Chunfeng laid a newly drawn map on the living room table. Di Xiong, Leng Hanbing, Hong Tianlie and others gathered around to look at it.
Wu Chunfeng still had Yu Qing beaten on his face. He pointed at the map and said: "There are five major courtyards in the Zhang Mansion. There are more than a dozen servants with guns in the first courtyard. According to this calculation, there should be five in the mansion. There are more than a dozen servants, plus the bodyguards hired with a lot of money, there are about 60 gunmen in total. There are four turrets in the front yard and back yard. There is a small attic above the gatehouse, and there is a hidden sentry inside. If you enter from the main entrance, you must knock it down first. Secret whistle.”
Di Xiong said: "Our action team only has more than twenty people, and we have to leave people to guard the hotel and textile factory. In this way, we can only mobilize twenty people to participate in the action. Before the action tomorrow night, Hong Tianlie will take two brothers to Zhang Remember, the antique shop is causing trouble. It is Zhang Ade's largest shop. He will definitely send some of his servants to the antique shop. Then we will start."
Each member of the action team has a pistol, and those who are good at marksmanship are also equipped with a rifle. In addition to the seized guns, there are also a batch of Mauser rifles purchased from a German foreign company, which were purchased by Sean, an Englishman.
Wu Chunfeng said: "You must act quickly. It is best to solve it within half an hour. The police station and gendarmerie leader in Houhai District have a very close relationship with Zhang Ade. After receiving the alarm, they will go to the rescue in half an hour." Yes, unless the phone lines are cut."
Wu Chunfeng told Di Xiong again about Zhang Ade's use of the "bag swap trick" to defraud Yuma. Di Xiong sneered: "This greedy guy, who has so much money and defrauds people of things, is obviously a veteran of fraud. Let's find him to pay back the money." You really picked the wrong target. I will make other people lose their money."
Zhang asked with a black face: "Boss Di! Why did we choose Zhang Ade as our target? He is neither a lackey of the Japanese nor a pawn of the Russians."
Di Xiong said: "Because if Li Lianying's inheritance falls into his hands, it will only become funds for the restoration of the royalist party. If it gets into our hands, it will be used to benefit the people, and the country and nation will become strong and glorious!"
This was said so grandly that everyone was speechless.
At ten o'clock the next night, Butler Wang received a call and learned that someone was making trouble in the antique store and many precious porcelains were smashed. He quickly reported it to Zhang Ade. Zhang Ade was so anxious when he heard this that he quickly asked the bodyguard captain Tong Dazhong to take a dozen servants to the Chaoyang Street antique shop to settle the matter. Tong Dazhong and his younger brother Tong Erzhong were known as the "Yanjing Double Quick Guns". The three killers of the Flying Knife Party died at the muzzle of his guns.
Less than ten minutes after Tong Dazhong and his party left Zhang's Mansion, the whistle on the gate saw a man in black running towards the gate. He quickly picked up his rifle and was about to aim and ask, when suddenly there was a cold light and there was already a lot of blood on his throat. A crossbow arrow, the arrowhead was coated with a poison that could seal the throat with blood. Anwhistle wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout anymore, and his body fell softly. Leng Hanbing, who was masked in black, threw out his flying tiger claws and climbed onto the courtyard wall first, followed by Du Ma Gan, Zhang Kuwa and other nine people. When entering the front yard, they suddenly encountered a group of patrolling servants. There were five of them. Leng Hanbing and others quickly drew their guns and opened fire. Silencers were installed on the barrels, but the ten shots fired together only knocked down the three people in front. , the two people behind were blocked by the people in front. They quickly lay down and fought back, shouting loudly, "Bang, bang, bang..." The crisp sound of gunshots alerted everyone in the house. Under Zhang Ade's order, Tong Erzhong summoned more than 30 bodyguards and servants from the other four courtyards to reinforce the front courtyard. When Butler Wang called the police, he found that the phone line was disconnected.
Zhang Ade's wives and concubines were so frightened that they screamed. Only Zhang Ade said calmly: "Don't panic! The house has encountered bandits before and has never been breached. With the machine gun, the bandits have no chance of coming back. Steward Wang went out from the side door and asked for help from the Qinglong Society."
Butler Wang agreed and ran out from the right door.
Di Xiong, Zhang Hei Lian, and Wang Shitou waited for the gunfire in the front yard before entering through the backyard door. Zhang Hei Lian climbed over the wall first, killed a sentry with a knife, opened the backyard door, and killed Di Xiong and others. Put it in. The few houses in the backyard only have some worthless debris accumulated. Each room also has a dozen old beds, which are probably where the servants and family members sleep. A few women and children in shabby clothes huddled in the corner and shivered in fear. Dixiong sent Wang Shitou to guard the gate of the backyard. Zhang Heilian led several members to attack the fourth courtyard. They encountered fierce resistance. One member was shot and injured. After Zhang Heilian shot and knocked down two servants, the courtyard wall Suddenly a machine gun appeared on the ground and started firing "click, click, click" from a high position. Zhang Heimian and the three team members were caught off guard and were shot on the spot and fell to the ground.
Di Xiong took aim with his rifle and knocked down the machine gunner with one shot. While the opponent was replacing the machine gunner, he led other team members to rescue Zhang Hei Lian and the others back to the backyard. He found that one team member had expired and Zhang Hei Lian had been hit several times in the chest. He was bleeding like a spring, and he was about to die.
Di Xiong took a chance and took out gauze from the first aid kit to wrap the wound on Zhang Heitou. Zhang Heitou said to Di Xiong in a weak voice: "Boss! I can't go with you to regain Northern Xinjiang. What a pity! You have done more for me." Let's kill some old fools!" After saying that, he died.
Because Di Xiong used brainwashing education in his lectures, Zhang Heilian had already regarded Di Xiong's dream as his own goal. Seeing that the loyal young man he had worked so hard to train died like this, Di Xiong couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Black face! You could have become a general, but I underestimated the enemy and harmed you."
At this time, there was an explosion outside the backyard door, and another machine gun shot was heard on the wall of the fourth courtyard. This time there were two machine guns. Wang Shitou said to Di Xiong: "There are a large number of gunmen from the Qinglong Society outside the back door who came to support the Zhang family. We used grenades to blow them back. If we don't retreat now, the escape route will be blocked."
Di Xiong said calmly: "The operation has failed. You take the bodies of the two dead brothers and retreat to the west. Throw away all the Japanese swords you brought. I will go to the east to lure them away."
Leng Hanbing and the others exchanged fire with more than 30 bodyguards and servants led by Tong Erzhong. They also suffered heavy casualties. Tong Erzhong's marksmanship was extremely accurate. Three members of the action team fell under his gun. One of them was hit in the vital part and died on the spot. Leng Hanbing's group was supposed to cover Di Xiong and the others. Seeing that the servants had been attracted, he ordered a retreat. However, Tong Erzhong pursued him relentlessly. During the pursuit, another member was shot in the heart. Leng Hanbing became angry. He suddenly turned around in the air and flew towards Tong Erzhong, frightening Tong Erzhong. He missed his shot while shooting, and the two of them were killed. Three shots were fired. Tong Erzhong, known as one of the "Yanjing Double Quick Guns", died with his head blown. When the pursuers saw that even such a powerful gunman as Tong Erzhong had been killed, they immediately retreated to Zhang Mansion in fright. Leng Hanbing was also hit. Two bullets, but neither was critical.
Leng Hanbing was born as a hunter in the Northeast, and he has practiced marksmanship since he was a child. In the Xihe Club, he was the best marksman, and Guan Jian finally showed his superior skills at that time.
