Chapter 4 Chapter Two (1-2)

Liu Bucai's job of marrying Zhu Daqi was half done, and with the help of Sun Xiangtai, he arrived safely in Jiaxing, which is half the distance from Hangzhou to Shanghai.It will be impossible to go any further. Sun Xiangtai got the news that on December 15th, Li Xiucheng's Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang and Na Wang Gao Yongkuan attacked Fengxian from Songjiang, and Huaer's foreign gun team suffered a defeat. Three days later, Tan Shaoguang moved eastward to capture Nanhui, and then turned northward to occupy Chuansha, encircling Shanghai from east to west. On December 21, more than 30,000 Taiping troops attacked Wusong and forced Baoshan , Straight to Shanghai.

"The news in the future will be very chaotic. Some say that Shanghai has fallen, and some say that the foreign gun team has voted on that side. Some people have seen with their own eyes that the foreign devils with high noses and red eyebrows are in the long-haired team." Sun Xiang stopped too He said, "No matter how I rush to Shanghai for the New Year, it's impossible." Liu Bucai was naturally disappointed.Thinking of the whole family talking every day about what happened in Shanghai, I felt more and more unable to announce the news, so I couldn't help but rubbed my hands and said, "Then, brother, what do you think?" He, Sun Xiangtai and Xiao Zhang had paid their respects in Hangzhou. Handle, so called.

Sun Xiang was too silent, took out a cigarette pouch from the lapel of his leather jacket, filled it with a bag of dry tobacco, lit it and smoked non-stop. "Brother," Liu Bucai collected himself, feeling that Sun Xiang shouldn't be made too difficult, and said with emotion: "It's really useless to force this situation, and the great ability is useless. We can only wait until the tide has passed." "'Eat a piece of radish and peel it off', stay at my house first, let's see the opportunity. If the boss of Songjiang has a way, he will move to Songjiang again. Isn't it getting closer? "

"Escape in troubled times, there is no way to plan, and it is a smarter way to make a living step by step like this. However, my elder brother and I are inseparable from each other." He said, "It is my relatives, and there are a dozen people from top to bottom, who came to the elder brother's house Excuse me, how can I make it through?" "You're not right. Your relatives are my relatives." Sun Xiangtai said again: "And, let me say one more thing, in our line of business, when will we not open three tables and five tables for idle meals? Just Not including our friendship, as long as a nodding acquaintance comes to me, I can't ignore it."

Liu Bucai originally said something on the scene, and he had to explain it when he passed the door. He was really a glue stick, and he was no longer a Jiang Hu Dao, so he readily replied: "That's it. I will first thank our old lady Zhu and my elder brother. " So Mrs. Zhu's family moved to Sun's house.Sun Xiangtai's status at this time has become a friend in need and a good family friend.Because he is Liu Bucai's post-changing brother, the children called him "Grandpa", Mrs. Zhu and Furong called him "Uncle", and Mrs. Zhu called him "Uncle Sun".In order to show respect and intimacy, I offer my seat to the above, and I will not avoid it. In fact, in troubled times, the etiquette is sparse, and the two rooms are cramped, and the female relatives have no way to avoid it.

＊＊＊ I lived in Jiaxing for more than 20 days. Although Sun Xiang treated the old and young of Zhu's family like his own relatives, it was not a long-term solution to depend on others, and Mrs. Zhu missed her beloved son and looked sickly, so Mrs. Zhu was very anxious.But there was a layer of separation between her and Liu Bucai, and Furong had to tell her uncle some things. Liu Bucai's anxiety and boredom are actually no less than Mrs. Zhu's.It's just that the road is cut off, which is really dangerous-the siege of Shanghai is still unresolved.The officials and gentry in the barbarian field established a "Sino-foreign Association Defense Office". On the one hand, Pan Huiwei, a gentleman from Suzhou and a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, sailed to Beijing to invite Western soldiers to suppress the army. help.Therefore, Huaer won several victories in the Songjiang area one after another, but there were so many long-haired people that he could not retreat at once.Moreover, because of the collapse, he was harassed everywhere, and the road became more and more restless. Liu Bucai wanted to go on the road alone several times, and went to Songjiang to find the boss of Songjiang, but Sun Xiangtai tried his best to stop him.

Due to Fu Rong's urging, Liu Bucai made up his mind this time, "Brother!" he said to Sun Xiangtai, "I must go for a walk. Otherwise, even I will get sick from boredom." "It's not that I won't let you go, I really can't take responsibility." Sun Xiangtai said, "I heard that the foreign gun team has been renamed the 'Eternal Victory Army' and must fight a big battle in the next few days. Let's wait until this battle is over, okay? " "Then when will it be?" Liu Bucai said, "I think we will find a way?"

Sun Xiangtai thought for a while and said: "Since you must leave, let me think of a way to see it. Or, if you write a letter, I will send someone to deliver it for you. Of course, it is impossible to guarantee that it will not be delivered. " That said, there is absolutely no certainty on the road.Liu Bucai was thinking in his heart, he might as well find a way by himself.So while expressing that he still wanted to go, he asked Sun Xiangtai to try his best, and at the same time went out to see two new friends. The two friends met in a casino.Casinos are of course secret, but Liu Bucai can always find these places wherever he goes. His method is to find a table in the middle of a teahouse, make a pot of tea and sit there, watching all directions and listening to all directions. After a little longer, you will find that there is a talk about gambling, and then wait patiently. When those people talking about gambling leave their seats one after another, they follow, and often follow them to the casino as soon as they follow.

In the casino, as long as you know the taboos and don't be annoying, it's easy to make friends. Liu Bucai knows this way. It's easier to make friends by saying a few words to make fun of him and occasionally pointing out some avenues.But this month, he felt that he was in a foreign land, and it was better to keep a low profile, so he didn't make many friends, only two, and these two friends were very useful to him, because both of them were long-haired. There are good and bad long hairs, and of course Liu Bucai picked them out. These two long hairs are good enough friends. Long hair likes to gamble, and the "mansion" often lasts all night, and the bets are also full of surprises. Most of them are "relics" obtained from robbery, gold and silver, and there are also jewelry, jewelry, etc., all tied on the hakama belt.He often reaches into his bosom, takes out a green hairpin, or a fuel snuff bottle, and places a bet on the spot.The most popular form of gambling is called "gangzibao". It was in this way that Liu Bucai met a long-haired man named Xing.

This man surnamed Xing held an official position in the Taiping Army.He often went to a casino to play "Gangzi Bao", gambling very vigorously, but also very honest, Liu Bucai admired his demeanor that he always had a smile on his face no matter whether he won or lost.As time goes on, I have an inexplicable feeling. Seeing him lose every day, I always want to help him win a game, but I don't know how to achieve my wish? One day Liu Bucai saw the signs - Gangzibao's gambling method is to use two coins to make money, spin it upright, and buckle it with a tea bell, and guess the "character" and "curtain" of the two coins. , a total of 3 fancy styles, two words, two acts, one word and one act, one guessed match two.This kind of gambling is like shaking a stall, but there is one less game, and it is like the "Dian Dian Knock" evolved from the "Guan Pu" of the Song Dynasty, which was gambled by Hangzhou traffickers and pawns.Of course there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, but others can't see it, but they can't hide it from the sharp-eyed Liu Bucai who has lost his fortune in the casino.

Liu Bucai discovered that among the two coins used by the banker, one side has a thinner edge, and this side is "character".As a result, the spinning force of the coin is about to disappear, and when it is about to fall down, it always falls to the thin side. There are many opportunities. So taking advantage of the convenience, Liu Bucai followed to the latrine, and asked bluntly, "Then Traveler, do you want to make money?" "That one doesn't want to turn over the book. If you ask me this, it makes sense, right?" "Of course." Liu Bucai said, "I'll teach you a trick, you can try it." It really works after a try.And Liu Bucai was quite opportunistic, afraid that this person was honest, thanking him on the spot, revealing other people's ignorance of yin and yang. When I went to the casino the next day, Lushi Xing was already waiting for him, so I asked him to meet him in a restaurant, expressing my thanks, and at the same time asking him why he showed such favor. This shows that Xing is an extremely loyal person who knows good and bad things, Liu Bucai didn't have to hide it from him, and frankly replied that he just wanted to make a friend like him so that he could be taken care of better. So Xing Lushi introduced him to another Changmao, surnamed Qin, who was worshiped as "Hundred Chiefs". His job was to guard a rice warehouse, and he was in charge of the rice grain cashier.From time to time, he sold some rice privately to Liu Bucai to supplement the Sun's family's food.This Baichang Qin was originally from Huzhou, and was taken into captivity in Hubei. He changed from a "new guy" to an "old guy", and finally became an "old man with long hair". Come, very kind, but his status is relatively low, not enough help, so Liu Bucai didn't look for him, and went straight to the casino to look for Lushi Xing. I followed Xing Lushi to the teahouse to meet each other.When Changmao eats tea, there must be some refreshments, but Mr. Xing Lushi has won money for thick snacks such as crispy candy and crackers. He said that these things are not delicious, so he invited them to the tavern for a drink. After three glasses of wine, it is easier to talk speculatively. Liu Bucai made a straightforward request and asked Xing Lushi if he could go to Shanghai for him-of course there must be a reason. He said that sitting and eating is not a thing. A close relative is in Shanghai and wants to "complain to help". "It's not difficult for you to go to Hangzhou. I'll give you a 'waving paper', and you can pass all the way. In Shanghai, there is no contact, and the 'waving paper' is useless." "Traveler!" Liu Bucai had no choice but to rely on him, "You have to find a way for me no matter what." "Of course I need help with your business. You drink first, and I will discuss it with Lao Qin. I will reply to you tomorrow." On the second day, a solution was discussed.Master Xing Lushi has a good friend who is now stationed in Jinshanwei. When they got together not long ago, they mentioned in the chat that there was a shortage of people who could write.Lushi Xing intends to recommend him. As long as he is trusted, there must be many opportunities to travel to Shanghai. This is going to fall into the water to make long hair.Liu Bucai couldn't help hesitating, but his mind was quick and he had an idea immediately, so he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you, that's it." "Then, write a letter in my name yourself—" So Xing Lushi dictated, and Liu Bucai took notes. In addition to being polite, the letter said that "there is an 'old brother', Mr. Liu, who is quite good at reading and calculating. I can be your brother’s helper, so I’m here on a special mission, please accept me.” After finishing writing, he issued a “waving paper”—the pass for passing the pass.Then he taught Liu Bucai to change his clothes, and gave him a piece of yellow silk to wipe his forehead and a pair of flower shoes, which are the most distinctive clothing colors of long hair. After wearing it home, Mrs. Zhu was startled: "The third grandpa has grown long hair!" "There is no way." Liu Bucai took off the yellow silk scarf wrapped around his forehead, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll meet Da Qi in Shanghai, and I'll pick you up again." Then he took the money that Xing Lushi paid for him. The idea, I talked about it in detail. "So, do you really want to grow hair? When will it be done?" "Which one really wants to be long-haired?" Liu Bucai said, "I played it by ear and got to Shanghai." Mrs. Zhu is both sad and happy. She is happy that the predicament can finally be resolved, and worried that Liu Bucai will go here. I don’t know if it will be possible to pass the test safely?If you can pass the customs and arrive in Shanghai smoothly, how can you take the whole family out? On this level, even if she didn't say anything, Liu Bucai also explained: "Boss Songjiang must have a way. With the help of Qin here, and with the strength of Boss Sun, it is easy to get out of Jiaxing. It is the short distance between Jiaxing and Songjiang. Road, it’s a bit of a headache, as long as you pass this hurdle, you’re done.” He said, “At Boss Sun’s place, it’s the same as at your own home. You can live with peace of mind, and I’ll definitely be back in half a month at least.” Then he entrusted Sun Xiangtai again, and agreed on a date for the meeting later.In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bucai dressed up as a long hair and went on the road. Along the way, he handed in the "waving paper" and the letter from Lushi Xing, and arrived at Jinshanwei smoothly.When I got here, I hesitated, and if I went any further, the letter could no longer be used, because the interrogator only said: "Jinshanwei has passed, where are we going?" Liu Bucai's original plan was to abscond with the camera after the shot was cast. At this moment, he thought to himself: It's the same escape, why bother?Now it is like a long hair, and as expected, he submitted the letter. At that time, he absconded, that is, he was not "escape from the long hair" of ordinary people, but deserted. If he was caught, he would never escape. Thinking of this, there is no hesitation.After passing through the town, I bought a felt hat and a pair of straw sandals, found an empty house, restored the original color of clothes, and threw the yellow scarf flower shoes, together with the letter of Xing Lushi, into the dry well and walked away. From Jinshanwei to the north, it is a straight road from Zhangyan to Songjiang. Halfway there, you can see cluttered figures in the distance, and you can tell it is "fleeing long hair".Liu Bucai was taken aback and couldn't help but stand still. When the panic-looking crowd approached, he hurriedly stopped a person to ask questions. As expected, it was Chang Mao who had retreated from Shanghai. He burned, killed and looted all the way, which was unreasonable. Liu Bucai had heard many of these things, but this was the first time he had encountered them himself, so he was unavoidably panic-stricken, and what was more difficult was that he was unfamiliar with the roads in life, so he had to turn around and walk, following a group of people, only choosing remote paths, Run in a daze. In the end, he still couldn't escape, but was intercepted by two long hairs lurking under a stone bridge. A total of six people were taken captive together, braided and braided, and they were escorted to a long haired "mansion" ", locked in the sin room next to the hall. Now that this happened, Liu Bucai knew that it was useless to panic, and told himself: You must be calm so that you can adapt to the situation.Therefore, he just sat in a corner silently, paying attention to the movement outside.Amidst the footsteps of people coming and going, someone suddenly shouted: "Call the new guy to come out and reason!" Those who have just been taken into captivity are called "new guys". Liu Bucai is vigilant, life and death depend on this moment, so he must rectify his mind and act according to circumstances.Nothing can be neglected. When he was taken out of the wing room, he saw a grand teacher's chair in the hall, on which was squatting like a monkey a thin, pockmarked long-haired man, apparently only in his early twenties.On the left and right are fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys with long hair called "Little Trick", holding sharp steel knives in their hands. The six people knelt down, and the pockmarked long hairs opened their mouths and said, "There is not enough food and grass, what is the use of all these people? Push them out and cut them off!" The two little tricks on the left and right stepped out together, clenched their fists and held their knives, saluted upward, and replied in unison as if they were singing: "Follow the order!" "My lord, my lord!" Someone yelled and begged, "Do something good and spare my life!" "It's a good thing to send you back to your hometown and go to heaven!" The little trick could not be explained, and two people were pushed away, and the third was Liu Bucai, who was quick to wit and said loudly: "There is not enough food and grass, I have a solution." "Oh," Pockmarked Hairy asked in disbelief, "Do you have a solution? Tell me! If you want to bluff people, beware of suffering." Liu Bucai calmed down when the strategy of slowing down the army took effect, "I will never dare to talk nonsense." He said, "As long as you let me go, I will have a way to get dozens of loads of grain." "Say it! You're right, I'll let you go." "Jiaxing has a lot of food. I know Qin Baichang, who is in charge of the warehouse. He writes an official business. The food will be delivered today, and the food will arrive tomorrow." "You can write?" "meeting!" "You didn't say it earlier!" Mamian Changmao jumped off his seat, took a dagger from his leggings, and cut the rope tied around Liu Bucai's wrist. This is like the "death door" of gambling. Liu Bucai's courage suddenly became extremely aggressive, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Keep people under the knife!" The pock-marked and long-haired man remained silent, which was actually an expression of acquiescence.After escorting the two pale-faced civilians back, he said, "It's your luck! But I can't let you go. What will you do? Are there any tailors?" There are no tailors, but some people can make straw sandals, and some people can go to the house to mend leaks.The pockmarked long hair asked one by one, because of the material and equipment, the dispatch was completed, and then he asked Liu Bucai for his surname very politely. Liu Bucai replied honestly, "My surname is Liu." "Mr. Liu, please sit down!" Mamian Mao said: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, I am one less able to write. I met a scholar the other day, and I kindly respected him, but I didn't know that he was a nerd, and he yelled at him. There was a I don’t know the seriousness of the little trick, cut off half of his head with a knife, and just whimpered. Since then, I have never met a scholar. Today, I have a destiny with Mr. Liu. I want to ask you for help. I can’t write, just like a dumb bar.” This metaphor is incomprehensible. I have only heard that illiterates are like "blind people with their eyes open". How can they be dumb? When Liu Bucai asked, the pockmarked and long hair replied: "I have won many battles, and no one wrote a report for me to repay the merits. Isn't it like a dumb person? And the superiors want me to make a military book and distribute food according to the book. No one writes for me, so I have to ask Mr. Liu." "So that's how it is!" Liu Bucai couldn't help but feel a little timid, it's easy to make a roster, and writing a post to describe his military exploits, he might be afraid that his essays won't win, so he should say it first: "I'm afraid I can't write well!" "You're welcome, Mr. Liu. Treat yourself to dinner first, and then do it later." Liu Bucai was actually a little dizzy from hunger, but he was eager to see for himself so as to establish a relationship with Mamian Changmao, so he picked the easy ones and did it first. "I'm not busy with eating." He said, "I'll start Let's make a military book." "Alright! I'll have a drink with Mr. Liu later. Little trick," the pockmarked long hair shouted, "Carry the table! Bring the pen and inkstone." So he lifted a table and put it down in the bright place of the door, laid out the pens and inkstones, took the original military book, and opened the first page, the first line, which read "Qing Tianyi inspected Chen Shifa at the age of 21. , is from Huaining County, Anhui, his parents are deceased, his younger brother is in the camp, and he has no wife." Liu Bucai knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was under the "king", and there were five ranks above the "hou", called "Yi, An, Fu, Yan, Yu".There are two titles on this fifth-class noble, and the second word must be "Tian", like Tan Shaoguang, the long-haired giant who broke Hangzhou, is indeed called "Mu Tianyi".I just don't know who "Qiu Tianyi" is, but Chen Shifa is the "Ju Ding" in front of him? He guessed right, "Chen Shifa is me." Mamian Changmao said, "This army book was made last year. Many people died in battle, and many new ones will be added. Please read it aloud, and I will tell you. " So Liu Bucai read the military book, which is divided into two types: "sacred soldiers" and "elite soldiers". Each time he reads one, he listens to Chen Shifa's greeting and makes a mark.Then fill in the names of the recruits, and in the evening, a draft will be made.Chen Shifa asked him to put down his pen and entertained him with wine and food. So Chen Shifa had a drink with Liu Bucai while talking about his achievements, so that Liu Bucai could write a report for him to repay his credit.Chen Shifa fought against foreign generals Hua Er and Bai Qiwen, and they had victories and losses, and they talked very vigorously. Liu Bucai listened intently at first, but later lost his mind.Because he had several thoughts from Chen Shifa, the first thing he thought of was that although Chen Shifa was only talking about his part of the battle, it was not difficult to get a glimpse of the overall movement of the long hair in this area. For work, why not ambush by Chen Shifa's side, you can get many secrets.Of course, it is impossible for him to hide here for a long time, but he can "replace himself with talents" and find someone to take charge of the documents and listen to news for him. Secondly, he also thought that people like Chen Shifa are not really bad at heart, and if they can instigate rebellion, they will be the help of the government and the army. Because of this, he was a little absent-minded.Chen Shifa saw that his expression was wrong, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Liu, are you listening to me? I think you seem to have something on your mind." Liu Bucai was surprised.He calmed down and replied: "Yes, I have something on my mind. My whole family is starving in Jiaxing, and I feel sad when I pick up my job at this moment." "It doesn't matter. You go and pick them up, make up their names in my camp, and distribute their rations." Liu Bucai's heart moved, with this sentence, the Zhu family, young and old, could take another step closer to Shanghai.But when you get here, how do you get out?This has to be planned well in advance, and it is not advisable to take the liberty of doing it. Thinking like this in my heart, of course I thanked verbally: "That's great, thank you, thank you!" "Where are your family members in Jiaxing? I'll send someone to pick them up for you." Chen Shifa said, "Mr. Liu, as long as you're willing to help me with your heart, I'll know what's good and what's wrong." "Yes. I also see that you are a bloody person. In this way," Liu Bucai said, "I will help you take care of the official affairs first, and then I will take care of my own affairs. At that time, you grab a boat and send a few brothers Come with me to Jiaxing. I can also get you a dozen foreign guns." "Foreign gun?" Chen Shifa asked in surprise, "How did you get it?" It was originally a perfunctory sentence to please, but Chen Shifa was actually very tempted, Liu Bucai had an idea, and he used his plan to simply set up a scam.It turned out that Zhu Daqi had a niece named Qixi, whose husband was Sun Ziqing, who worked in a foreign firm and was Zhu Daqi's right-hand man.Qixi is very capable, and often comes out to deal with "officials and guests", and she is the sworn sister of Songjiang's boss. Everyone calls her Grandma Zhu.Liu Bucai thought that the couple had a solution. "I have a relative named Sun who works in a foreign firm. I bought a batch of foreign guns for Zhejiang and transported them halfway. I heard that His Royal Highness's army had besieged Hangzhou, and the internal and external traffic was cut off. These foreign guns became him. Some of my private property is in Jiaxing, and some of it is shipped back to Shanghai. I originally wanted to find an account to sell it. If you want, I can find a way for you." "I want, I want!" Chen Shifa said, "I don't know how much he wants to sell for a stick?" "It's not very clear." Seeing that he was extremely enthusiastic, Liu Bucai probed further: "Do you believe me or not?" Chen Shifa blinked wildly, and it took him a long time to ask: "How about trusting you? So what if you don't believe me? " "If you don't believe me, don't talk about it. If you believe me, let me go to Shanghai. It takes at most three days to go back and forth; I will inquire about the price and show you the samples. " Chen Shifa spent a lot of time thinking about it, but in the end he still didn't make a decision, and he will wait until tomorrow. After dinner, Liu Bucai made military books under the lamp again, until the third watch, Chen Shifa prepared a midnight snack, and said he would find a "mother-in-law" for him, where Liu Bucai had such leisure, smiled decline. The place to sleep is very comfortable, I don’t know where I got a large mahogany bed, covered with a wolf fur mattress, and covered with a brand new silk quilt from the foreign market, but Liu Bucai couldn’t fall asleep, thinking about it on the pillow. After thinking about it again, when the calculation was done, he was too excited to fall asleep. Naturally, he got up early the next day, started writing after breakfast, finished writing Chen Shifa's report on his military exploits, and read it to him. Everything was in order. Send it there?" "Send it to Jiading." "That will pass through Shanghai." Liu Bucai asked, "Brothers who don't know how to deliver the letter, can you go to Yichang?" "This—" Chen Shifa was puzzled, "What is this for?" "Didn't I say that my friend surnamed Sun has a batch of foreign guns, and you want to buy them? I'm thinking now, I don't need to go by myself. I'll write to him and ask him to tell you the price. By the way, bring a few more samples." "So that's what happened!" Chen Shifa smiled all over his face, "Then I'll send someone else. Someone who is very smart and familiar with the barbarian situation." He thought for a while and said to himself: "Yes , Yes, there are people." So Liu Bucai immediately wrote a letter to Sun Ziqing.The letter is very simple, first say "the whole family is well", this is written to Zhu Daqi.Then he said: "My brother has just made a friend, and he is very loyal. He plans to buy a batch of foreign guns, regardless of length. He looks forward to seeing his brother's friendship. Pay as much as you can carry. The price will be calculated later.” After finishing writing, he read it to Chen Shifa, and at the last few sentences, Chen Shifa asked in surprise: "You mean, we can get a batch of guns right now?" "That's right! My friend believes in me. Based on my letter, you can take as much as you want. I'm afraid that people who go there won't be able to take it with them. In the future, when they are shipped out in large quantities, we have to discuss how to do it." "Of course, I have to write a post and report to the superior. Now get a few branches and try it out." Chen Shifa thought for a while and said, "I'll send four people there to play by ear. However," his expression suddenly became severe, "Mr. Liu, this matter is no joke." "How can you be joking? I am here with you, thanks to you, being my friend, if I make fun of you, isn't that the same as making a joke of myself? But let me be clear, the brothers have gone, and I can't find them anywhere. My friend, or my friend won't give the gun, and that's my joke. If something else goes wrong on the road, it can't be blamed on me." "of course." "There is one more thing, I have to ask first, these four brothers met my friend and asked, 'What do you four do?' What did they say?" This moment stopped Chen Shifa from asking, so he turned around and asked, "What do you think?" "As I see it, it's best to tell the truth. What I do here, and what you do to me. My friend knows it in his heart." "In this way, there will be no danger?" "Absolutely not. My friend is not half-baked, and will report to the officials." For the sake of safety, Liu Bucai added another sentence to the letter: "Be sure to entertain the visitor, and keep it secret." With such a solid letter, Chen Shifa naturally believed it.At that time, four people were selected and discussed together for a long time, and it was decided to leave early the next morning. How should the four people go, how would they take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, take a shortcut and take a shortcut to Shanghai?Chen Shifa told Liu Bucai everything, but there was still a problem. "I went empty-handed, so I can get by no matter what. Coming out of Shanghai, it's troublesome to carry a gun. It doesn't matter if you meet our own people. If you meet 'demon soldiers', you will be sad on the checkpoint." "Demon soldiers" refers to the official army.This is indeed a difficult problem. Liu Bucai thought about it for a while, and thought that Sun Ziqing might be able to help them pass the test, so he replied: "This can only be discussed in Shanghai. My friend is very familiar in Shanghai. The brothers who went there You might as well tell him honestly, let him find a way to escort him out of the country, or he can do it." With that said, Chen Shifa was more relieved.At this time, there is no way to discuss it, only to send it out.
