Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Shanghang is a typical city with eight mountains, one water and one farmland.

There are rich resources and a wide variety of minerals here.

Store large amounts of gold, copper and other precious metals

Attracting many businessmen to come and mine

There are countless mines

When Li Yan got off the boat, he saw a large mine in front of him.

There are piles of various ores everywhere

The crowd was dense, with several thousand people

Swinging a sledgehammer to hit the stone

Make a clanging noise

The fisherman came over quietly and said two words: "Red Gate"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then recovered immediately

Started to carry copper ore onto the ship with the crowd

The black-clad guards just stood by and watched without disturbing the others from working.

Until after dark

A bookkeeper gave half of his wages to everyone.

And tell everyone that when the work is done, we will settle the bill together.

People who work are used to it

After receiving their wages, they left in groups of three or five.

These black-clad guards did not stop us

Li Yan The fisherman received his wages and left the mine with the crowd.

This mine is near the east gate of Shanghang County

Entering Shanghang County

There is a busy street nearby

There are restaurants, casinos, brothels, and all kinds of small vendors.

A mixed crowd, noisy

Li Yan The fisherman came to a small restaurant in a remote area

Seeing a leopard, a Taoist priest, a little beggar, Guo Dali, and Tong Liang are having dinner.

Without saying anything, he walked over and sat down next to the five of them.

I ordered two bowls of rice noodles and started eating them with big mouthfuls.

While eating, Li Yan quickly asked a few people, "Have we arranged all our people?"

The leopard said: "We have many people."

"I have dispersed them to several nearby inns."

“And marked it.”

"As long as we take action, we can come together immediately"

Li Yan nodded and continued: "When I came in..."

"I saw that the guards at the gate of Shanghang County were very lax."

"After dinner"

"The fisherman brought his men and found an opportunity to retrieve our belongings."

“The remaining people were divided into two groups.”

"Leopard, Taoist priest, little beggar, you two form a group of three."

"I, Guo Dali, and Tong Liang are in a group."

"Let's look at the situation in Shanghang County separately."

"We'll meet at the Shangyun Inn ahead at 12 o'clock in the evening."

This day is New Year's Eve

Even when it's dark, the streets are still bustling with activity.

Li Yan, Guo Dali and Tong Liang were walking on the street.

I was also infected by this atmosphere

There are more smiles on my face

When the three of them just walked to the door of a pawn shop

An old man was thrown out of a pawn shop

He fell directly to the ground and passed out.

His face was covered in blood. It was so cold, and he was wearing thin clothes.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl screamed and ran over

One hand supports the old man and he shouts: "Daddy"

There was an urgent cry in the voice

At this time, two policemen came out of the pawnshop.

One of the middle-aged policemen

He looked up, holding a bronze furnace in his hand.

He opened his mouth carelessly and cursed: "Old man!"

"I'd give you a dollar, but you wouldn't take it"

"If you don't accept a toast, you'll be punished"

Another young policeman in his 20s looked at the girl in front of him

He couldn't help but let out a sly smile: "Brother Gou, look at this girl, she's quite good looking."

When the middle-aged policeman heard this, he saw the girl on the ground.

His eyes were a little straight, and he said obscenely: "Girl"

"This is your father."

"He sold me a fake bronze furnace"

"The uncle felt sorry for them and gave him a dollar."

“He’s still not satisfied.”

"Hehe, but you have to go play with me."

"How about I give you two dollars?"

The girl looked at the bronze furnace in the hands of the middle-aged policeman

With tears in his eyes he said: "That is my family heirloom"

"Someone offered 50 yuan, but my dad refused to sell it."

"You must be selling it to you because my father doesn't agree."

"You robbed and injured my father"

"You are a bunch of beasts"

The middle-aged policeman looked at the crowd of people watching.

His expression changed: "What if I rob it?"

"Don't even mention stealing a broken stove, it's you"

"I'm going to grab it today too"

As he said this, the middle-aged policeman was about to take action.

Seeing this, Guo Dali could no longer hold back his anger and was about to step forward

Li Yan grabbed it and gestured to the crowd

A middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a Tang suit

Grab the middle-aged policeman's collar with one hand

The middle-aged policeman struggled twice but failed to break free.

He yelled angrily: "Fuck, who is pulling me?"

Wait until the middle-aged policeman looks back

He immediately forced out a smile and said, "Master Long, why is it you?"

The middle-aged man in Tang suit let go of his hand and snorted coldly: "Who dared to scold me at that time?"

"It turned out to be Lord Dog."

The middle-aged policeman seemed very afraid of this middle-aged man in Tang suit

I heard the middle-aged man in Tang suit say this

My heart trembled: "Lord Long, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding"

Long Ye glared and said, "Leave the copper furnace here, and get out of here now!"

The middle-aged policeman quickly said: "Master Long, this, this, this is what Captain Wang of the Security Corps wants."

At this moment, Lord Long revealed his murderous intent: "You mean Wang Fugui?"

"Go back and tell him if he doesn't agree"

"Just let him come to me"

Although the middle-aged policeman was afraid, he still held the copper stove tightly with his hands and did not let go.

A man in black next to Long Ye said nothing.

Throw out a dagger directly

It happened to hit the middle-aged policeman's hand holding the copper stove.

The middle-aged policeman screamed in pain

Release the hand holding the copper furnace

Before the copper furnace fell to the ground, it was already in the hands of the black-clothed man who had just thrown the dagger.

The middle-aged policeman no longer hesitated and fled with the young policeman in a hurry.

The man called Long Ye bent down and pinched the old man's philtrum with two fingers.

After a while, the old man suddenly sat up, took a deep breath, and woke up.

He opened his mouth and shouted anxiously: "My heirloom, my heirloom"

Long Ye took the copper furnace from the man in black and handed it to the old man.

He handed over two more dollars and said, "Grandpa, come home during the Spring Festival."

After that, Lord Long left with the man in black.

Only the old man and his daughter were left kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously.

Someone beside him kept shouting: "Dragon Lord is mighty!"

The guard leader on board today is called Long Ye

The one who threw the dagger was the one who asked Li Yan to go over and guard him.

Li Yan watched the whole process and nodded

Most of the righteous are butchers.

After the old man and his daughter left, the crowd slowly dispersed

Li Yan grabbed a young man and asked, "Young man, who is this Long Ye?"

The young man seemed very proud and said: "You are from outside the area, right?"

"Mr. Long is a very famous figure in Shanghang"

"Help the weak and fight against the strong, be generous and give money to the righteous"

"Across the Tingjiang River, who wouldn't give a thumbs up when he's mentioned?"

Li Yan couldn't help but ask: "Master Long, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the police?"

The young man said contemptuously: "Those policemen are worthless"

"Old Master Long is the head of the Red Gate Water Hall, and he has tens of thousands of disciples."

"If you stamp your feet, the police station will collapse"

"I also heard that Lord Long has a close relationship with the Southern King of Guangdong."

"Even the Nationalist troops in Shanghang have to give Lord Long some face."

Li Yan nodded

I didn't expect that such a person could be found in a small Shanghang.
