Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Sweeping Kowloon

By the way, when Peng Kun came back from the newspaper office, the more he thought about it, the more serious the problem became. Since the provincial and Hong Kong strikes, as the police force in Hong Kong has become stronger day by day, he feels that it is not as easy to mess with as before just relying on the underworld. Fortunately, he also won the title of Justice of the Peace. Over the years, he has disguised himself as a good person and participated in various charitable activities in the society. He finally gained a social reputation commensurate with a justice of the peace, but he did not expect it to be completely ruined overnight.

Chen Baiwei's unaccommodating tone made Peng Kun despair.Not to mention, they killed two Heyitang members and reported the case to the police, which became evidence that he murdered mainland celebrities. Everything that followed was under Chen Baiwei's control: the police filed a case for investigation, Xiaocao came forward to testify, and various newspapers published all kinds of scandals about Peng Kun one after another like a dog in the water... His reputation was rotten, and what followed was a big hit in business Over the years, Peng Kun has worked hard to manage "Wangfa" and adopted various methods to make "Wangfa" always rank first in Tangxi Fengyue.

In the mid-1930s, when public prostitution was banned, Peng Kun had an idea and came up with many tricks. First, the tour guide agency. Between a man and a woman, although it is still the matter of going to bed in the end, before that matter, a lot of tricks have been played out, adding some mystery, and it will have a stronger temptation.Peng Kun's "guide agency" is to change the name of the brothel he used to run. The prostitutes become tour guides, taking customers into the room to relax and massage, so that the customers have to pay for the work in the end. Second, human body sketching.

This thing was conceived of by the well-known mainland painter Liu Haili's body sketching, which caused a lawsuit. However, in Peng Kun's hands, it is not for art, but a purely pornographic thing.As long as you pay, you can enter regardless of whether you can draw or not.Any man who wants to see naked beauties should ring the bell outside, and someone will come out immediately to invite you in.Inside was a large drawing room, furnished like an art school studio, with many easels.After paying the money, each person will be given a drawing board, a piece of rice paper, and a pencil, and then they will sit in front of the easel while a naked young girl in the stands makes scratching poses. A pose!" As soon as this thing became popular, "Wangfa" was crowded with people, and the hall was full, and it could escape the government's ban.

Third, live action. This is also the trick that Peng Kun came up with. In a hall, there are seats all around, and a bed in the middle. After paying the money and walking in, the light will shine on a pair of naked men and women on the middle bed. Making love with various movements makes people around me unbearable. In addition, Peng Kun also invented such things as "one-yuan trial film" and "small step movie", and his business has been booming. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, because of his bad reputation, even customers were reluctant to do his business.Peng Kun was originally a narrow-minded person, so he vented his hatred on Hong Kong people, wishing he could exploit all Hong Kong people.

This opportunity finally came to him. Not long after the incident in Mid-Levels, the Japanese became more and more arrogant and actively implemented the policy of "going south". The sky over Hong Kong was covered with dark clouds, which threatened to overwhelm the city... The first person who got the news was Su Xiaofeng, he came back to report to Peng Kun. At that time, Peng Kun opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. Su Xiaofeng was terrified, thinking that Peng Kun had suffered a stroke, so she shook his body and shouted: "Military Master, what's wrong with you?!"

Peng Kun suddenly shouted: "The day of my revenge has finally come!" Su Xiaofeng was puzzled: "Military Master, the Japanese are coming, why are you so happy?" Peng Kun said with a smile on his face, "Let me tell you, it's a great thing for the Japanese to come." Su Xiaofeng scratched his head, still puzzled: "But, I heard that the Japanese are very fierce, and they kill anyone they see." "Because he is fierce, even the British must be afraid of him. In this way, we will not have the energy to manage law and order, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money without worrying about the police!"

Su Xiaofeng nodded as if realizing something, and murmured: "It's just that our reputation has gotten worse from now on." "My reputation has been rotten for a long time. This time I will go to the end and do something earth-shattering. It is better to be infamous for a long time than to be unknown. Do you know when the Japanese will call?" Su Xiaofeng shook his head: "In short Soon, the new governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, did not bring any family members with him. Now Hong Kong’s regular troops only have two battalions of the British army and two battalions of the Indian army. In addition, there are anti-aircraft artillery teams, field artillery teams, and the Royal Engineering Corps. Yang Muji is very anxious , wanted to recruit and organize irregular troops, and after several efforts, there was the "Hughes Corps" composed of foreigners over 55 years old under the command of veteran Hughes and the "Hong Kong Team" composed of British Hong Kong residents. There is also a Hundreds of Portuguese and 450 Chinese volunteered to join the army. It seems that they must be beaten."

Peng Kun nodded: "Very well, we will organize our forces immediately and prepare for a big fight! Go down and inquire, and report as soon as you have news. We have to choose two days before the arrival of the Japanese. These two days are absolutely safe, and the police will Go to the front line!" On December 7, 1941, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific War broke out. At 8:30 in the morning on December 8, 1941, the Japanese Air Force dropped the first bomb on Chengnan Road in Kowloon, and Hong Kong was immediately engulfed in flames. On that day, in addition to bombing Kai Tak Airport, Admiralty Barracks, and Dagu Dockyard with the air force, the 38th Division of the Army also attacked the New Territories with the 228th Infantry Regiment as the attack vanguard; Coordinated operations by the Second Fleet.As a result, the northern part of the New Territories suddenly fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

On the afternoon of the 9th, the Japanese army had attacked near the Chengmen Reservoir. Although Kowloon City was separated by the Lion Rock, the sound of dense gunfire could be clearly heard. On this day, most people in Kowloon paddled across Victoria Harbour, and not a single policeman was left. Ever since he heard the gunshots in the morning, Peng Kun mobilized the main force of the whole hall, crossed the opposite side, and lurked in the Qinzhou Street area of ​​Kowloon District. In the afternoon, seeing that all the policemen in Kowloon had gone to Hong Kong, Peng Kun led his men to prepare to dispatch. Unexpectedly, under his influence, many policemen in Hong Kong came to make a fortune.

Su Xiaofeng was the first to find out, and told Peng Kun anxiously: "The military division is not good, we will get rich, and the other halls will follow!" "how many people?" "I don't know the number, probably hundreds of people." Peng Kun looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Fuck me, Peng Kun does bad things and everyone follows suit. Haha, very good. The more bad people there are, the more chaotic the world will be. I will be the head of the bad people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic! Xiaofeng, go down and contact them , I want them to rush to Qinzhou Street for a meeting as soon as possible, so as not to conflict with each other." In the afternoon, all those who wanted to get rich came to Qinzhou Street. Seeing that the time could not be delayed any longer, Peng Kun jumped onto a high platform and shouted to the people around him in a high-pitched voice: "Brothers, the day we get rich It's finally here! All the 'Hua Yao' (police) have run to the other side! We must seize the opportunity and dispatch immediately. All the gates must work together and support each other, and beware that the 'Yanggu' will resist. I am Peng People have always been the most loyal and fair. They will never rely on their numbers to make a fortune alone. I am definitely not that kind of person. Whether it is dividing the territory or making a big mess, we will talk about it later Let’s discuss it again with the boss. Now, which brother has opinions and ideas, put them forward as soon as possible, so as not to hinder the time to make a fortune..." As soon as Peng Kun's words fell, people in various halls were talking about their opinions. Some advocated concentrating on attacking banks, some advocated house-to-house looting, and some advocated robbing gold stores and large companies first. , There are many opinions. Peng Kun got tired of hearing it, and shouted loudly: "Stop making noise, the Japanese are coming over soon, do you still want to get rich?! Who has a clever plan to stand up on this stage and say, the people below are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Everyone quieted down, only to see a middle-aged man wearing glasses came up to the stage and saluted Peng Kun: "Uncle 'Four Eyes' is in the east of Guangdong. I heard the name of Peng Junshi earlier. Today I just came from Guangzhou. , It’s rare for everyone to talk about the morals of the world and not to deceive others, so I will tell everyone my 'experience', maybe it will be good for everyone to make a fortune." Peng Kun returned the salute and jumped off the high platform.The four-eyed balls were not polite, went on stage, coughed twice, and said: "To tell the truth, as early as three years ago when Guangzhou fell, I did this business of making money in Xihaokou and Xiguan, and I have accumulated some experience." .Although we are in the midst of war and chaos, "Yanggu" still attaches great importance to property. As the saying goes, money is life, life is money, and money is connected with life. If we underestimate the enemy or spread our forces too much, we will encounter Strong resistance." Speaking of this, the four eyeballs paused, and lifted the left sleeve, revealing a five-inch long scar: "Brothers, please see, this is when I attacked a mansion in Xiguan, because I underestimated the enemy, I was killed by them." If you cut it like this with one knife, if your companions did not fight together, you would have almost died." Everyone in the audience whispered, they all thought that the experience of four-eyed balls was worth promoting, and they were eager to ask for advice. Seeing this, Peng Kun let out a dry cough, stopped everyone talking, and asked Four Eyeballs for advice: "It seems that uncle has accumulated a set of useful and valuable experience in robbing 'Yanggu' in Guangzhou. May I ask how to arrange it to achieve twice the result with half the effort?" The four-eyed balls were clear and clear, and said: "We want to make a fortune, we can't disperse our strength, at least one hundred people should be one; at the same time, we must bring enough 'frames' (weapons) to make the 'Yanggu' 'We are afraid. Before we have to make a fortune, we must pre-allocate the territory, so as not to cause disputes and kill each other when the time comes." Peng Kun nodded and said: "Uncle's words are very reasonable, so now each hall will select a representative to distribute the fortune sites by drawing lots." Knowing that there are few people, Four Eyes raised his hand and said, "We in East Guangdong will not participate in the lottery. We only need a few streets between Austin Road and Jordan Road near Guanchong." It turned out that Four Eyeballs came from Guangzhou and lived near Guanyong. He was familiar with this area, so he proposed to come here.Peng Kun said: "Okay, I agree with Yuedong's opinion, who else doesn't want to draw lots and propose it." After waiting for a while, he said: "Since everyone agrees to draw lots, I will write the lot on the paper, and pick a paper ball at each hall entrance. As he spoke, Peng Kun took out a small notebook from his pocket, wrote down the names of the districts on different papers, kneaded them into balls and put them on the stage, leaving only one of the best districts between his palms and fingers. As a result, Peng Kun was assigned the Mong Kok District, that is, the street from Dongjie Street in the south to Boundary Street in the north; "Hehongsheng" was assigned the Sham Shui Wading District, that is, from Boundary Street to the end of Qingshan Road; De Yau Ma area, that is, the streets from Jordan Road in the south to Shandong Street in the north. After the territory was divided, Peng Kun said again: "Brothers are going to make a fortune soon. It is suggested that all brothers who participate in making a fortune wrap a white cloth around their left arms as a symbol, and use the word'victory' as a slogan, so as not to be confused when they meet. There was a misunderstanding." Everyone unanimously agreed. Everything was negotiated, and it was dusk. At this time, everyone listened carefully, and the sound of guns from the New Territories gradually became rarer. Peng Kun frowned and shouted loudly: "Su Xiaofeng!" Su Xiaofeng squeezed from the crowd to the front of the stage: "Yes, what is the order of the military advisor?" "Where are the Japanese now? Why can't you hear the dense gunfire?" "Report to the military division," Su Xiaofeng said, "I went to the New Territories in the afternoon to investigate. The Japanese have bypassed Tai Po and moved towards Kowloon City. They may be attacking Kowloon City." Peng Kun waved his arm and screamed: "Brothers, go make a fortune, this opportunity is once in a lifetime! Don't forget to do as we agreed!" After everyone disbanded, they were busy contacting everywhere, looking for brothers and sisters to help, and preparing to make a fortune in war. Peng Kun had already made preparations, so he didn't need to look for someone. The first problem now was to find a cloth shop for some white cloth arm wraps.Sure enough, I found a "Chiji Silk Shop" near Qinzhou Street, and knocked on the door outside: "Open the door, open the door, we want to buy cloth!" There was no response for a long time, Su Xiaofeng said: "Military Master, this territory is not ours, is it...?" "Fart," Peng Kun scolded, "Now the Kowloon area is full of my surname Peng, I can do whatever I want!" He continued to knock on the door and said, "If you don't open the door, I will smash it! Don't pretend, I know there are people inside." !” As he spoke, he picked up a brick and hit it. Sure enough, someone inside said, "Sir, we don't do business in the midst of chaos, so go elsewhere." It was a woman who was speaking, and when Peng Kun heard the woman's voice, his whole body felt as if he had been injected with stimulants. He wished he could go in and hold her in his arms... He shouted loudly: "Definitely open the door, there is no condition to say, Or smash your shop!" The woman inside took a look through the crack of the door and found that there were people in the dark outside, so she knew what they wanted to do. She was startled and went back to the room for a while before opening the door. Peng Kun felt that the woman looked familiar, but suddenly thought Sorry where I saw it. As soon as Peng Kun entered the door, he coughed dryly with his hands behind his back: "Don't be scared, we want to buy some white cloth, take it out first, there is still big brown business to do later." The female shopkeeper noticed that Peng Kun's eyes were bewitched, and she took a few steps back, and suddenly saw a thin monkey walking towards a container in the counter, rushed over and shouted: "Don't move!" It turned out that Su Xiaofeng found a woman's flowered dress exposed behind the container. When the shopkeeper rushed over, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl had already been pulled out of the container by Su Xiaofeng. It is the age of budding. The female shopkeeper gave her life to protect the girl, like an angry lioness, roaring: "She is my daughter, don't touch her!" Seeing this little girl, Peng Kun couldn't help being tempted, swallowed his saliva and walked over, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, as if he had seen it somewhere before. At this time, the middle-aged female shopkeeper suddenly exclaimed: "Aren't you Boss Peng?" Peng Kun nodded: "You...?" "Have you forgotten that twenty years ago, you were the one who rented my family's boat to transport goods to Guangzhou at the Sheung Wan Wharf." Peng Kun finally remembered that twenty years ago, he rented a boat in Shanghuan to sell guns in Guangzhou. The owner of the boat called Chi Liuliu... "You, you are Chi Liuliu's daughter?" The shopkeeper nodded, recalling the past, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Ever since my father and younger brother went to Guangzhou with you, they never came back, and they still don't know whether they are dead or alive." Peng Kun remembered that he killed a father and son at that time, but the impression was not very deep. There are too many people killed in this life, and I can't remember it, but there is one very deep impression: in the sea breeze, a pair of mother and daughter are on the pier Anxiously looking for relatives, the girl is also thirteen or fourteen years old, she is just about to bloom, she once made Peng Kun's heart flutter, if she is not busy fighting, she must find a way to get her... Peng Kun swallowed again, and left In the past, I touched the little girl's face. At that time, the little girl in the sea breeze looked like today, exactly the same... No wonder I had an illusion when I met. The owner of the shop is Chi Xiaoli. At that time, her family was engaged in shipping in Sheung Wan. Later, her father and younger brother mysteriously disappeared. Not long after, her mother died of illness due to excessive grief.Chi Xiaoli sold the boat, specialized in cloth, and recruited an honest shop boy as her husband, and lived a comfortable life.It’s just that she often misses her relatives. She knows that her father and younger brother may be gone, but she has always harbored illusions in her heart, thinking that her father and younger brother will suddenly come back one day... Therefore, she often says to her daughter: "Let’s do business well and make more money. One day your grandfather and uncle will come back and live as a family." Chi Xiaoli knew what Peng Kun was doing, but she couldn't believe that her father and brother would be killed by him for no reason. Now that they were face to face, she had the urge to ask. "Boss Peng," Chi Xiaoli wiped away tears, "For many years, I have always had a strong desire to ask you about my father and the whereabouts of my younger brother, but I was afraid to ask, worried that I would not want to hear it." The news I received... until today, I have to ask... please tell the truth, are my father and brother dead?" Peng Kun nodded. When Chi Xiaoli heard tears pouring down like rain, she hugged her daughter together... "Can you tell me how they died?" "Okay, but don't get excited." Peng Kun felt that there was no need to delay any longer, and said. "At that time, we rented your family's boat not as a legitimate business, but as a gun smuggler... Your father was too nosy, we had to kill him-of course, your brother shouldn't be killed, but not together -" Chi Xiaoli held back her grief and anger, and rushed over to do her best, but Peng Kun pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger... The little girl screamed, and threw herself on her mother... At this moment, a child jumped from the attic above her head. A man, desperately fighting with Peng Kun.Peng Kun was caught off guard, and was punched several times, and his neck was also strangled. It turned out that this man was Chi Xiaoli's husband. He thought that the gangsters only killed men and women would be fine, so he hid in the attic alone.Unexpectedly, these inhuman robbers shot and killed his wife.Peng Kun originally wanted to order his men to shoot, but how could he scream when his neck was pinched?Fortunately, Su Xiaofeng was quite smart, he put a gun to the man's back and fired twice. The man fell into a pool of blood, and the little girl rushed forward and cried for her father.Peng Kun rushed towards her obscenely... The little girl was very clever and escaped. When Peng Kun saw his subordinates watching him, he scolded: "What are you looking at? Search for things and smash the shop!" But he was only focused on chasing the girl. The girl had nowhere to hide and climbed upstairs.Peng Kun said: "Be good, I want to be nice to you, I won't kill you..." After chasing from the first floor to the rooftop of the fourth floor, the little girl had nowhere to escape. Peng Kun grinned and said, "How about it, have you given up this time? Be good, so as not to use force to hurt you!" Peng Kun seductively approached the little girl with his tongue. The little girl sat on the railing of the roof and was shaking with fright. Seeing that she couldn't escape, she cried, "Daddy, Mommy, wait for me—" When Peng Kun rushed to the guardrail, the little girl was hanging in the air and falling towards the middle of the street. He watched a beautiful virgin quickly turn into a lump of flesh, and couldn't help but sigh. When Peng Kun came down, the store was completely ransacked, and then he found two knife and scissor shops nearby, broke in, and looked for various "supports" that were more convenient than guns, such as watermelon knives, beef knives, large scissors, butcher knives, etc. .At night, although police officers from various districts in Kowloon had not been evacuated to Hong Kong Island, no one was on patrol. Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Sham Shui Po Police Stations all closed their gates, and even the guards at the gates were withdrawn. Coming out of the knives and scissors shop, Su Xiaofeng suggested: "Military commander, it's no fun to rob ordinary shops, why not just rob gold shops and banks, and get rich with a bag of gold!" Peng Kun thought it made sense. At that time, the largest and most famous gold shops were located in the Shanghai Street area, so he ransacked them one by one from north to south, and those who dared to disobey would be killed. Peng Kun is very proud of himself, thinking that killing people in this life is better than killing them tonight. He just depends on sex, and he can kill as much as he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about paying for his life or being chased by the police.Killing people in troubled times is the most enjoyable. Killing a lot is actually easier than killing an ant. Fighting all the way from the north to the south, Peng Kun and the others had their eyes red.When passing by the Tin Hau Temple, there is a large jewelry shop next to it. Su Xiaofeng ran over and asked, "Military Master, do you want to go in?" Peng Kun waved his gun: "Go, of course go in!" "Do you know whose jewelry store this is?" Only then did Peng Kun squint his eyes and look at the sign above with the help of the street lamp, which said "Wu's Jewelry Store", and said, "Isn't it Wu Ping's? You can't spare him either!" The boys broke into the door, just as Wu Ping was instructing a dozen shop assistants to transfer some valuables.Seeing a group of people swarming in, he knew that the visitor was not friendly, so he clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Everyone, the valuables in the old store have been shipped back to Hong Kong. If you like these old things, please do it yourself, please do it yourself." Peng Kun hid outside. After all, he was too familiar with him, so it was difficult to let go of the last bit of affection—this was also a bit of humanity left in him. After a while Su Xiaofeng came out to report: "Military Master, the old man said that the valuables are gone, what should we do?" Peng Kun rolled his eyes for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "This old guy is an old fox, don't trust him, if his things are transferred, why are you still here? Go in and search carefully, if there is a safe or something, ask him to open it!" As expected by Peng Kun, all the valuable gold, silver and jewels of "Wu's Jewelry Store" were not transferred, because the war happened too suddenly without warning.Wu Ping hurried over from Hong Kong, intending to transfer the property to Hong Kong first and then transfer it to some banks in Europe.Unexpectedly, in the future, the Japanese army would encounter local robbers first.After a carpet search, Ma Zai found a huge safe in a secret library. Wu Ping was surprised at first, and then said: "The safe is empty." A horseman shouted: "It doesn't matter whether it is empty or solid, you can open it!" Wu Ping still quibbled: "I'm sorry, I don't have the key. This shop belongs to the boss, and I'm the accountant." Ma Tsai actually believed it, and asked: "Who is the boss of you?" The store clerk looked at each other, and Wu Ping clasped his fists and said, "We are not the boss. As I said, the boss has brought valuables to Hong Kong." Su Xiaofeng couldn't hold back any longer, squeezed from the crowd to the front desk, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Wu, quickly hand over the keys. Others don't recognize you, so don't I?" Wu Ping shouted happily: "Ah, it turns out that Xiaofeng's younger brother is from the same family. Please sit down, please sit down!" Su Xiaofeng pushed hard, and Wu Ping staggered back a few steps, but still said luckily: "Brother Xiaofeng, don't you know me?" Su Xiaofeng curled her lips: "Don't try to get close to me. At this time, I don't know anyone except money!" Seeing that Su Xiaofeng didn't agree with him, Wu Ping said to the others: "Do you know that your military adviser Peng Kun and I are brothers, and I helped him become a justice of the peace. I'm telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, go back and ask your military advisor.” Su Xiaofeng sneered and said, "Mr. Wu, don't dream, you'd better hand over the key obediently! To be honest, we are acting under the orders of Military Adviser Peng." "I don't believe you, it must be you who faked his order! No matter how unreasonable Master Peng is, he will not even snatch my things." Peng Kun clasped his fists and said, "Wu, are you all right?" Wu Ping took Peng Kun's hand like a life-saving straw: "Good brother, I can be rescued this time. These people are unwilling to give me face, and they insist on opening the safe." "What do they mean by asking you to open the safe?" "They said there was gold, silver and jewels in it, but there was nothing, it was empty, it was empty." "That's good, you open it for them to see." Before Wu Ping could speak, Peng Kun announced loudly: "Did you hear that? Mr. Wu is my friend, and he said that there is nothing valuable in the safe, and he will open it later." Let me show you, if you don't leave immediately, save me some face!" Wu Ping had seen all kinds of scenes, so of course he understood what Peng Kun meant, but he couldn't believe that he would change his face so quickly, and stared at him in astonishment for a long time speechless. "How is it? Mr. Wu, as a friend, I can only help so far. Open it quickly. Since you said no, what are you afraid of?" Wu Ping said in a trembling voice: "Peng Kun, over the years, the friendship between you and me has not been deep. At this critical moment, can you let me go?" Peng Kun snorted through his nose and said: "Mr. Wu is a sensible person, why is he confused now? Don't you hear the saying 'this moment, that moment'? I admit that we have a deep friendship in the past, But they all take their own and use each other. Once the time passes and the situation changes, everything will cease to exist. According to the logic of the old man, most of China’s land is still owned by Qin Shihuang. How did the Three Kingdoms, Second Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties appear later? Qing Dynasty emperors appeared And now there are Japanese people again! It can be seen that the land, gold and silver rich men and women in this world are all public resources, and whoever has the ability can take them as their own. Making money by doing business and getting rich by robbery are just different methods, and the nature is still the same It's my turn today, and all the property in Kowloon is mine! Aren't you talking about friendship? Let me tell you, someone Peng is enough to give you face today, regardless of past favors, once you enter the door Kill a few first, and see if you dare to resist!" Wu Ping finally saw Peng Kun's face clearly, pointed at him and said in a trembling voice, "I've been seeing you for so many years, and today I finally know you!" Peng Kun raised his head and laughed, and said coldly, "Mr., you should hand over the key obediently, lest we do anything!" Wu Ping sneered and said, "Don't dream, I'll tell you that there are millions of gold, silver and jewels in the safe, but I just won't give them to you!!" "why?" "Because an inhuman gangster like you got property, in order to cover himself, he will not let us go." "You're smart!" Peng Kun said, "But I'll have a way for you to hand it over." After speaking, he pulled some of Wu Ping's beards and pulled them hard—Wu Ping grinned in pain, touched his chin, and it was bleeding... … "Mr. Wu, does it hurt?" Peng Kun said eccentrically, playing with the white beard in his hand, "You're already old, so why bother? Go, although you will inevitably die today, I can make you die quickly, with one shot in the center of your heart, without any pain, and you can be reincarnated in the next life. If you refuse to cooperate, I will make you unable to live or die. For example Cut off your tongue to prevent you from talking nonsense, and cut off ten fingers so that you won't write about the bad things I did... How about it, are you willing to cooperate?" Wu Ping's throat was hot at this moment, and a mouthful of phlegm gushed up, and he spat on Peng Kun's face go.Peng Kun wiped it with a handkerchief, and then ordered: "Stand up Mr. Wu and don't let him move around." Wu Ping was held up by several men, unable to move his hands and feet, but he continued to curse.Peng Kun said: "It seems that Mr. Wu thought I was joking. Come here, take a box of matches. Councilor Wu has a very handsome beard. I don't know how many women he has attracted. Today I burned it!" Peng Kun lit a match and lit Wu Ping's long beard. Wu Ping yelled loudly, and the room was filled with the scorched smell of burning hair... "Have you figured it out now?" Peng Kun asked. This is the first time Wu Ping has been tortured in his life. Although he was kidnapped once more than ten years ago, the gangsters did not abuse him.He couldn't stand it anymore, and said in pain, "Please let me die quickly, and I'll give you the key." "That's about the same," Peng Kun said, "Say it, and I'll fulfill you right away." "Let go of me first, I can't stand it, let me rest for a while." Peng Kun then ordered to loosen the ties.Wu Ping rubbed Kong Kong's chin and lips, in excruciating pain, shed two lines of tears, and cried out: "God, you have to have eyes—" After shouting, he slammed his head against the brick wall...Peng Kun hurriedly stopped, But it was too late, Wu Ping rolled his eyes white, vomited blood and fell to the ground dead. Peng Kun was enraged, and ordered: "Chop him into minced meat!" There was a burst of knives, so scared that more than a dozen shopkeepers knelt down together, crying and begging for mercy. Wu Ping's body was quickly chopped into pieces. Peng Kun pointed to more than a dozen shop assistants and said, "You all watched, this is what happens when you don't want to hand over the keys!" The store clerks kowtowed like garlic: "Hero, please forgive me. We are helpers, and we really don't know where the keys are. This is a simple truth. If you were the boss, the clerks would not know many secrets." The red-eyed Peng Kun was not willing to listen, and roared: "You can't lie to me, I know your intentions, you want to take out the treasure after we leave. It's a good idea, I won't make you happy! You press Line up the ages, from old to young, torture one by one!" So a dozen shop assistants were driven out of the door one by one in order of age, and asked about the whereabouts of the keys.These people really didn't know where the boss hid the key, so they couldn't answer, so they had to be hacked to death one by one. At the end of the killing, it was a fifteen-year-old clerk who pleaded on his knees to Peng Kun: "My man, please forgive me. I am a new clerk. I have only been here for a while. Master, master, and brother don't know where the key is. How do I know? I am a miserable person. My parents died when I was a child. I have a grandmother who is over 70 years old. I can't even eat..." Peng Kun said: "You can't even take care of yourself and still think about an old lady who deserved to die long ago. It can be seen that you are the biggest fool in the world! It's useless to keep you, it's better to let you go!" The young man shot in the forehead, then in the temple, and left angrily until it was confirmed that he was dead. Since he found nothing in "Wu's Jewelry Store", Peng Kun, like an angry lion, poured out his hatred on other merchants and banks.Instructed his subordinates: "Our priority now is to make a fortune. We don't have time to talk to people about human relations. Anyone who refuses to hand over their belongings should first chop down a few and then search for them!" December 9, 1941 was the darkest and bloodiest night that the residents of Kowloon had spent since the opening of the port. Wherever the gangsters went, they robbed wealth and sex, and ignored human life.After the war, the "Hong Kong Yearbook" published in 1946 clearly recorded: "...the bandits took advantage of the opportunity to rob and kill in the area of ​​Sham Shui Tun, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei. Many rich merchants and wealthy households were robbed and killed, causing heavy losses..." That night, Peng Kun and his gang robbed countless property. Due to the rare opportunity, everyone was full of energy and never tired.In the early hours of the morning, Peng Kun encouraged his subordinates: "Brothers, the Japanese are coming soon. If you don't hurry up, the chance will be gone. Let's go to the sky at night! If you can't stand it, you can smoke a few bags of opium to refresh yourself!" The subordinates shouted in unison: "We want to get rich, we are not tired!" Peng Kun was very satisfied when he saw that his subordinates were excited, and shouted loudly: "Okay, let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui to make a fortune now!" Su Xiaofeng came over and whispered: "Military Master, there are many foreigners living in Tsim Sha Tsui, maybe they have guns." "Don't be afraid, foreigners are afraid of death even if we have a large number of people." "If there is resistance, it is not worthwhile for us to lose." Peng Kun said: "If you want to make a lot of money, don't worry so much. Now the looting is almost everywhere. The Kowloon city has been looted repeatedly by the Chao Gang's 'Fu Yi'an'. If you don't open up new sites, you will miss the opportunity. Didn't you I heard that the British army fighting against the Japanese in the New Territories could no longer hold on?" Su Xiaofeng nodded: "I heard that the Japanese will soon enter downtown Kowloon." "Then what are you waiting for? Head towards Tsim Sha Tsui immediately!" "Come on!" "It's a big fortune!!" The robbers headed by Peng Kun chanted slogans, rushed into the Tsim Sha Tsui area in mighty force, took the lead in destroying the Wharf gate, and swarmed in, looting all the rice, sugar, cotton yarn, cloth, canned food, and foreign wine left in the warehouse. Transported by van to the "He Yi Tang" base located in the Kowloon area.There were more than a dozen employees in the warehouse. After the robbery, Peng Kun ordered a burst of gunfire to shoot them dead, and then turned to Hankow Road to loot. In the early morning of December 10, 1941, the residents of Hankow Road suddenly heard earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from all directions, thinking that the Japanese army had killed them, they hurriedly got up and hid their belongings. Set your mind to listen, but it is a local accent, mixed with foul language, you know what's going on, and before you have time to prepare for the contingency, the doors of each house have been slammed open by ping-pong-pong, and a group of leftists People with white cloth wrapped around their arms and armed with pistols or sharp weapons poured in fiercely. After entering the house, they did not care about indiscriminate behavior, ordered them to squat down, punched and kicked them, and then rummaged through boxes and boxes and looted them wantonly. With a gun in his hand and guarded by bodyguards, Peng Kun picked mansions to loot. When I came to a money change shop, there was a signboard saying "money change" outside the door. I was overjoyed and broke in. Seeing this, the shop owner was so scared that his face turned ashen, and he offered all the cash of about 3,000 Hong Kong dollars with both hands, begging for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, all the money and things are here, volunteering to be a filial piety." Peng Kun snatched it with a sneer, handed it to his subordinates, and stretched out his hand again: "What else?" "No more, really no more." "Then what does it mean 'gold and silver exchange' on the outside?" "Hey man, listen to me, this 'gold and silver exchange' is actually a commercial idiom left over from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. If you don't believe me, you can ask the old man. Even if you have gold and silver, they will not come to me Little shop for change." Peng Kun's face sank, and he roared, "Call me!" There was a mess of sticks and knives, and the shopkeeper fell into a pool of blood, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, and then went south to carry out "plans to make a fortune". When going out, he lit a fire, saw the flames soaring into the sky, and left with a wild laugh. After walking not far, there was a building in front of it, which looked like a wealthy family. They ordered the door to be opened, but it was four foreigners.Three of them are Portuguese.At that time Portugal was pro-German, while Japan was one of the Axis powers, so these Portuguese people thought that the Japanese would respect them, and they were not in a hurry to avoid them. Peng Kun ordered them to go into the toilet and squat down. After searching the room, he thought there were more than these things, so he brought out the people in the toilet to torture them one by one, and one of them who understood Cantonese was an interpreter between the two.When he heard that there were no more belongings, Peng Kun felt that he had failed his hard work, and shot and killed again, and was about to be burned.There was a scream from upstairs, like a woman's voice. As soon as Peng Kun heard the woman's voice, he abandoned the dead body of the foreigner. All the people went upstairs and found that it was a Portuguese pregnant woman who was frightened by the gunshots and screamed. 彭昆见洋女人才二十岁年纪，长得还有点姿色，淫性大发，竟当着手下的面就地奸污……完事后又大方地对手下说：“赏你们玩玩去！好好替我卖命！”可怜这位身怀六甲的妇女，遭此轮奸引起流产昏死过去。 彭昆在离去时点上一把火，看着火光冲天，十分开心。 尖沙咀很快也劫洗光了，彭昆几乎不做多少考虑决定向红勘区开刀。 此时的红勘区街道清闲，居民少，大的商户不多，只有黄埔船坞最引人注目。其实船坞之内，除了修船机械及笨重钢材没有贵重物品，失去理智的彭昆见了，不禁恼羞成怒，一把大火，把船坞烧个精光！ “军师，现在没有好发财的地方了，是否可以收场？”苏小枫经历一日一夜血腥，良心发现，产生了畏惧。 彭昆正在兴头上，哪里肯罢休，下令道：“集中力量，向红勘居民区进发，没有财物，人都要杀几个！” “和义堂”在彭昆的率领下，浩浩荡荡向红勘区、土瓜湾一带“发展”。这里并无巨商富户，为了彻底搜刮，彭星想出一个妙法，在每条街道中间，首先燃起一堆堆烈火，然后将所有居民驱赶到街道上，排成长队，勒令奉献财物。 彭昆令苏小枫从近处搬来一张骨牌凳，站在上面，向居民大声宣布：“今天和你们明说了，我们就是劫匪，平时由于'花腰'的管束，我们一直忍气吞声，现在总算有了千载难逢的良机，如果不趁机捞一把，连自己都对不起！不瞒各位，这一天一夜来，我已经记不清杀了多少人。不过别怕，我不是疯子，不会乱杀无辜，只有那些不听话的才杀！你们也一样，如有胆敢反抗或毫无贡献的，就推入这火中烧死！” 居民们的四周都是荷枪实弹或手持利器的匪徒，面对这种情景，谁还敢反抗？ 此时是1941年12月10日下午，天是铅色的，太阳挂在西边天际，但被灰蒙蒙的烟尘染得没有一点光彩。 仿佛这是一个专门杀人的日子，九龙城那边，日本人与英军血战，九龙每条街道上，香港各堂口对无辜的居民实施血洗……下午，彭昆一伙边烧边抢，汹汹而来，满载而去，好不得意，当抢到九龙城道北帝街附近已是黄昏。 忽听得深院大宅里一片鸡飞狗叫，苏小枫提醒道：“军师，这九龙城道历来是'三山会'的地盘，要不要绕过去？” 彭昆此时已不管什么“三山会”、“四山会”，只知道这深院大宅里红墙绿瓦是富人居住处，一挥枪道：“上，大路朝天，各走一边！” 彭昆一伙抢了两家，得利很是丰厚，因利所驱，再向纵深处发展。 来到一条大街，被一彪人马挡住，为首的正是黄绍荣，喝问道：“什么人，胆敢到这里撒野？！” 彭昆举起缠了白布的左臂，高声喊着事前定下的暗号：“胜利！” “三山会”没有参加划分地盘。黄绍荣粗鲁地骂道：“胜利个屁，丢你老妈，识相的给我滚，别在这里讨死！” 苏小枫见对方如此，跳起来叫道：“姓黄的你别在这里翻脸不认人，烧成灰老子也认得你！” “我认识你是我裆里的，还不快滚！” 彭昆在这空档认真观察了对方，见他们人数不多，可能是去其他地方行劫走了一部分，恰好莫启青也在里头，心里一个念头产生了，对苏小枫道：“今晚我们把他们吃掉！” “对呀，这是个好机会，打死了莫启青，我们在香港又少了一个劲敌！” 主意已定，彭昆干咳一声，一边吩咐苏小枫下去布置，一边抱拳道：“各位兄弟，发财大家一起发，请让开一条道来，行个方便。” 见“和义堂”还不死心，莫启青出面了，抱拳道：“彭军师，自从省港大罢工以后，我们两家情同手足，相互照应，才在江湖上立下足来，没被陈百威吃了，怎么到了这节骨眼上反而为这点小事发难？” 彭昆见手下已准备好了，没必要再绕圈子，说：“莫堂主是聪明人，怎么人不为已天诛地灭，这句话都不懂？我过去与你连手，为的是不让本堂被'和安乐'吃掉，现在很快就是日本人的天下了，世道都换了，你我哪有交情可讲？让开道，别妨碍老子发财！”说完挥手一枪，莫启青因毫无准备，已是措手莫及，幸好黄绍荣眼疾手快，一掌推开堂主——然而，自己却中了一弹…… “弟兄们杀呵，杀狗日的'三山会'！”彭昆喊道，“杀了他们再杀陈百威，香港江湖就是我们称霸啦！” 彭昆喊着，自己却躲在一只垃圾桶后指挥战斗。 巷子里一时枪声大作，“三山会”方面来不及躲避的都当场打死，街道上横了一堆尸体，血流满地……莫启青死了得力干将，悲痛化作仇恨，闪入一栋楼后，挥枪还击，几次组织强行冲锋，都被密集的枪弹压了下去。 彭昆遇到了强烈的抵抗，此时性命要紧，也不顾脏，钻进垃圾桶旁的一堆垃圾里观战，发现对方虽悍，但人员很少，于是抖去头上的脏物高叫：“弟兄们，'三山会'就剩几个虾兵蟹将啦，打死他们！” 莫启青面对强敌，毫无惧色，仗着手下都是行伍出身，弹无虚发，把握战机，等候机会出现。 彭昆见对方的枪声稀少，得意起来。恰在此时，莫启青方面不时有人在巷里窜来窜去，“和义堂”自然一阵乱枪猛打。 约有十几分钟，“三山会”在巷口里出现了一大批人，彭昆以为机会到了，高兴地喊道：“兄弟们，打呀！” 然而喊叫过后并无人反应。彭昆纳闷，回头问道：“不该打的时候猛打，到了该打的时候怎么都哑了？” 一名马仔苦着脸道：“报告军师，子弹没了。” 彭昆大惊失色，自知中了莫启青的奸计，嘴里喃喃道：“怎么没子弹了？” 莫启青身先士卒，挥着一把砍刀，像梁山好汉一般杀将过来。身后，有抡斧的、持棍的，一个个如凶神恶煞。 彭昆情知不妙，叫道：“给我顶住、顶住！”自己却调头逃命。 苏小枫等人慌忙拿起棍棒，或抽出腰上别着的“架撑”。 双方一经接触，棍棒齐飞，刀斧并举，叮叮当当，喊杀声、惨叫声不绝于耳。 约斗了十几分钟，双方死伤累累，尸横满巷，空气中弥漫着血腥味。 彭昆躲在远处一堵矮墙后，发现“三山会”人员越来越少，力气也渐渐不支，得意了，指着身旁的保镖骂道：“贪生怕死的东西，还不去帮忙！” “三山会”终因寡不敌众，败下阵来，最后只剩下十几个人拥着莫启青逃命。 “不要放虎归山！”彭昆喊道，“否则后患无穷！” 众人奋力追赶，终因一天一夜不曾合眼，对地形又不熟，眼睁睁让莫启青等人跑了。 彭昆十分懊丧，认为失去了一个千载难逢的好机会，嘴里骂个不休。 彭昆因受到抵抗，担心北上还会遇上强敌，只好挥师南下，离开北帝街。半路清点人数，发现少了五十多名马仔。 彭昆心里窝着火，正要寻找发泄的地方，又怕遭到抵抗，只好一路南下。出了九龙城，横过亚皆老街，到处一片黑灯瞎火。现在众人已经疲倦，只能避硬吃软，绕过一栋栋豪宅，接下来很远不见一座屋宇。 “回去吧，”苏小枫道，“这里是无人区。” 彭昆不信，举头望去，看到东方马头角有一片灯光，杀性又起，手臂一挥道：“杀呀，前面又有'羊枯'了！” 马头角在启德机场附近，南靠九龙湾渡轮码头，北临宋王台，在抗日战争前夕，这里是海滩和烂地，但却盖搭着许多棚舍木板屋，居住了大批修船工人。 由于这里是一些因简就陋的临时栖身地，破破烂烂不起眼，过了几起黑帮都嫌其没有油水而放弃，彭昆也是欺善怕恶之徒，刚受到莫启青的打击，只是想着出一口恶气，选这些小棚小居杀一批毫无反抗能力的人，逞逞自己的威风，在手下面前也好挣回一点面子。 棚舍里点着电灯，光线从壁缝里射出来，照的也不太清楚。 地面坎坷不平，不少地方还有积水或废弃的机油。1941年12月10号是农历10月27日，节气刚好是“大雪”过去的第四天，香港处北回归线以南，天气虽没有北方寒冷，但今年特别，天气与灾星像一对孪生兄弟，给人一种阴冷逼人、愁云惨淡的感觉。 二百名“和义堂”劫匪经过一天一夜的折腾，现在已经有了倦意，何况是去杀一些几乎毫无仇隙的人，更加提不起精神。 走在前面的苏小枫脚下踩着一滩机油，一个趔趄，虽然扶着一个木桩没跌倒，但脚却踩入一洼泥里，全身打一个战颤，对身边的彭昆道：“军师，我有一种不祥的预感。” 彭昆骂道：“什么鬼预感？” “俗话说'见好就收'，早在劫了红勘区的时候我们就应该打道回府。” “你懂什么叫'见好就收'？一派胡言！” “我也是很早以前听老人说的，今天突然记起来是因为……反正我也说不清，只知道如果能见好就收，五十多位弟兄就不会命丧黄泉，古人还说'人心不足蛇吞象'和我们今天的经历很对号。” 彭昆脚下也虚了一下，心里“格登”，问道：“还有什么古人语没有？” “有是有，说出来就怕军师你生气。” “你说，我不生气。” “古人还说'多行不义必自毙'，这两天我们杀人如麻，杀得我心里发毛了。” 彭昆心里打了个突，脚不自觉地停了下来，眼睛在黑暗中滴溜溜……一阵冷风吹来，不禁打一个寒战。 风是东北风，从九龙湾的北面吹过来的，空气中残留着一股淡淡的硝烟味。两天前的早晨，从东北方向过来的日本飞机，在启德机场投下了大批炸弹，将机场上的飞机炸成碎片……两天了没刮大风也没下大雨，硝烟在那里久久会集不散，现在晚风乍起，空气里才有味道呢。 彭昆吸溜鼻子，这两天来的疯狂仿佛是一股恶云，现在终于飞散了……当他的心灵一片空白，头脑里开始恢复理智，不禁喃喃地问道：“这几天我到底在干什么呀？” “这些天我们都在杀人、放火——当然最主要还是发财。”苏小枫说道。 “哦，原来是这样。”彭昆点头道，当他的良心遭到遣责的时候，很快，又自己原谅了自己——觉得几天以前的彭昆，与现在的彭昆没有任何联系。像所有的坏人一样，彭昆也是一个有多重性格的人，他的最大特点是能够把自己分身成无数个彭昆，然后自我安慰、自我原谅。 “军师，今晚怎么办？该收场了吗？” 彭昆道：“不，现在不能收场！” "why?" “我们辛辛苦苦做了一番准备，就算不杀人，也得捞一点东西，这样才对得起自己。” 苏小枫点头道：“那就行动吧。不过这里棚子这么多，天又黑，该先从何处下手？” 彭昆踮起脚四处看了看，说道，“这些木棚多是干木头，容易着火，先放把火吧，有火照着好行动。”吩咐完毕，自己却不愿前行了，他开始胆怯，虽然这里居住的只是一些很一般的“羊牯”。 苏小枫领命下去，踢开一座工具棚，提了两桶柴油，将一座无人的棚舍浇上，点着一个火把扔去，一时火光冲天。 “冲啊——” “发财啊——” “和义堂”劫匪齐声呐喊，很奇怪，并没遇到任何阻拦，如入无人之境，甚至连意料的鸡飞狗叫声、“羊牯”的惊慌声都没有。 由保镖护卫的彭昆皱了皱眉头，当手下进入棚居中心破门而入时，突然周围冲出百十名大汉，手持铁筒、板手、大锤等武器，拦住了他们。 苏小枫以为连拿枪的莫启青都战过了，这些修船工又何足惧，右手一挥，带领匪徒冲杀过去，一场混战展开。 大火还在漫延，熊熊的火光把马头角照得通体透亮。 在棚与棚之间的空地上，棍棒声、金属的碰击声、呐喊声、惨叫声连成一片，仿佛又回到远古时代的对阵械斗。 很显然，这些工人是早有防备的，当他们发现劫匪的枪内并无子弹时，更加勇猛。 一个照面下来，匪徒方面倒下十几个。 苏小枫一时呆了，没想到对方如此凶悍。 彭昆在后面挥着手叫喊：“弟兄们不要怕，给我狠狠地杀！” “和义堂”匪徒仗着人多，发狠地反扑过去，一场恶战在残酷地进行着。工人方面一时也死伤不少，但面对强敌毫无惧色，仿佛积压了满腔仇恨，现在终于找到了复仇的机会，前仆后继，拼死搏斗。 彭昆万没料到会是这样，在保镖的护卫下且战且退，进入到棚居区中央地段。 又有几座工棚着火了，“和义堂”被困在大火中央，火光映着他们惊恐的表情。 彭昆惊魂未定地掏手绢抹额上的汗珠。 “和义堂”外围，一拨拨人轮流与工人械斗，金属、棍棒的碰击声仍然不绝于耳。 苏小枫从外围进来，喘着气说道：“军师，我说过'多行不义必自毙'，可不，现在应验了。” 彭昆已稍稍镇定了，脑子里思考着如何脱险，只悔不该烧了棚子，否则黑灯瞎火还有逃跑的机会，可现在到处明如白昼……彭昆踮起脚看外围，因个矮，什么也看不到，便说：“小枫，你驮我，让我看看。” 苏小枫像狗一样地趴在地上，彭昆踩上他的背，举目一看：妈呀，四周打着火把的工人呐喊着冲了过来，若不是看见，还以为是九龙湾的涛声呢。
