After the Lantern Festival, it was already the middle of February. In the following days, other than going to school for classes, Murong Yao spent the rest of his days leisurely at the back mountain base, discussing and researching the method of making bombs with Li Renguang.
Time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye. It was already mid-March. Wei Wuji had returned from Nanjing, and he had stayed in Nanjing for a whole month. At this moment, the three brothers were gathered together again.
"How was it?" Niu Zheng asked.
Wei Wuji nodded." I've chosen the location of the business. It's at Yancang Bridge, not far from Xiaguan's Zhongshan Pier. The location is a bit remote, but we're traveling merchants, not merchants. The rent there is not expensive. There's a river that connects to the Yangtze River. Ships below 150 tons can enter. Moreover, the place where the goods are stored is also large. I've chosen that place. Wu Qing and the others usually live there. Also, I've rented a shop near the drum tower in the city center. We'll talk about how to operate it later!”
After saying that, Wei Wuji took out a key and handed it to Murong Yao,""Fortunately, I didn't fail you. I've done what you asked me to do. I bought the house in Shangxin River. There are more than ten rooms in a large courtyard. It was very cheap and only cost me twenty yuan.”
"So cheap?" Murong Yao was a little suspicious.
Wei Wuji sighed. Do you know where the biggest killing spot is? At the River East Gate! It was in the middle of Shuixi Gate and Shangxin River. The place was full of mass graves and became a ghost land. Other than wild dogs digging up corpses, it was deserted. At night, there were ghost fires everywhere. I wanted to call a few rickshaws to go to Shangxin River at Shuixi Gate, but the rickshaws refused to go even if I offered double the money. We walked in. When we came back, I rented a small boat at Shangxin River and went ashore at Xiaguan. Shangxin River Village was also affected. Most of the people living here had run away even if they didn't die. I bought a courtyard obediently. There are empty houses everywhere in the village even if you don't buy them. I helped you tidy up the house and even equipped it with some furniture. The walls and gates have been repaired. You can use it anytime."
"I bought five half-new bicycles. They are all pirate brands from the Ying country. The quality of the bicycles is very good. I'll get the garage to maintain it again. I guarantee that you'll use it like new. They're all in Sheepskin Alley."
Niu Zheng was very interested in the bicycle and asked,""Won't people fall off when they sit on this two-wheeled thing?”
Wei Wuji smiled." There are many people riding this bike on the streets of Nanjing. It's much faster than walking." When you're familiar with the bike, you can even carry two people on it. It's much faster than you! There are also people riding on Wuhu Street."
" That reminds me," Murong Yao said." Second Brother, if you see any cars in Wuhu, help me buy a few to Qingyang." Otherwise, these people wouldn't have used it in Nanjing!”
Wei Wuji nodded." I'll keep an eye out for you. By the way, Third Brother, don't you want to tell us anything?"”
"What do you want to know?" Murong Yao smiled.”
"I want to know about the cellar in Sheepskin Alley!”
"What's wrong with the cellar?" Niu Zheng asked. Wasn't it just putting in sweet potatoes and cabbage?”
"Third Brother, I suspect that you went to rob a bank! There were more than 600 gold bars, 300,000 dollars, six Japanese pistols, and most of the valuable items in the cellar.”
"How many?" Niu Zheng jumped up in shock.”
"I didn't count carefully. This is all the money. However, the value of those precious items was immeasurable, and Third Brother should know it in his heart.”
Murong Yao shook his head." I'm not too sure either. I only know a rough number. It's about the same as what you said. As for those fine things, I don't know as much as you do because I didn't count them at all."”
After a while, he saw that the two of them were still staring at him, waiting for him to continue. Murong Yao scratched his head,""Anyway, since I asked you to do this, I don't intend to hide anything from you. I'll be honest with you! Actually, when you guys picked me up at Wuhu Port, I didn't tell you all the truth. The reason why I didn't come back from Nanjing after the school holidays was that I've been busy with one thing for more than a month. There was a business district called Daxinggong located a little east of Xinjiekou in Nanjing. There were six Japanese businessmen living on that street. These Japanese people have been in Nanjing for a year or two, and I've been paying attention to them for a year or two. These six people usually live together, and on the surface, they are doing business in China. However, they dominated the market, bought and sold by force, bullied innocent women, and even robbed other people's property. After amassing a large amount of wealth, these Japanese were secretly gathering information about the Chinese government, mainly military information. The military structure of the National Government, weapons and equipment, the situation of Nanjing City's defense, and the defense of the fortress were all the focus of these people. They had also recruited a group of scum from the Chinese, mostly local ruffians, to help them gather information and act as thugs. The police station and garrison command in Nanjing knew nothing about this. Even if they knew, they would turn a blind eye. These disasters were malignant tumors! But how to get rid of them was a problem. With the Japanese embassy protecting these people, they would have committed a crime. The National Government could only close their eyes and let them get away with it. I waited until last year, and I was about to leave Nanjing after graduating from university. With the outbreak of the war in Shanghai, it was urgent to get rid of these disasters. The school holidays are over and I have some time. I've already prepared the courtyard in Sheepskin Alley. I've taken a fancy to that place, which can be considered as a quiet place in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Moreover, it's a single courtyard and has a very large cellar to hide things. I temporarily rented a small courtyard near the Great Palace. The lease was for one and a half months. I paid the landlord three months 'rent and told him to buy the house himself after one and a half months. The landlord was very happy. These Japanese usually lived in seclusion and did not have much contact with the surrounding merchants. On the night of the attack, the six Japanese gathered together to drink. When they were drunk, I sneaked in. It did not take me much effort to eliminate these Japanese. There was no blood left on the scene. All of them were strangled to death by me. With my skills, they did not even have time to resist. The sewers in Nanjing were very unobstructed. There were manhole covers on the streets. I opened three of them and stripped the six of them naked. I stuffed two naked pigs into each well so that the sewers wouldn't be blocked. The rest was simple. I carefully found the Japanese's belongings. If I didn't search them, I wouldn't have known. These six devils had actually collected so much money. It would be a waste not to take the ill-gotten gains. I placed the military intelligence of the National Government and the Nanjing defense intelligence collected by the devils in a prominent place in the room. He restored the house to its original state and made it very clean, as if the owner had gone out for something. It took me a lot of effort to pack up all the loot and transport it to the courtyard I rented at night. Fortunately, the road was not far and there was no one on the street at night. I had to run more than ten times before I finished transporting it. Before I left, I removed all traces and locked the door. No one knew that the six Japanese had disappeared for a while. It was almost dawn. I slept for a few hours. Early in the morning, I went to the carriage shop to rent a carriage. I paid a sufficient deposit and didn't call the coachman. There's a back door in the rented courtyard. I'll load the truck and transport things at the back door. It took three trips to transport all the things to Sheepskin Alley. I also cleaned up the traces of the rented courtyard. I locked the door and returned the carriage. I spent two whole days tidying up the courtyard in Sheepskin Alley before putting everything away. He only recovered after sleeping for an entire day. The next day, I took the morning boat back to Qingyang. It was the time when you came to pick me up. How was it? I'm amazing, right?”
Niu Zheng and Wei Wuji looked at each other. This was too heaven-defying. This third brother had actually performed a great move in the downtown area of Nanjing without a sound.
Murong Yao continued," Goatskin Alley is quite a distance away from the Great Palace. One is east of Xinjiekou, and the other is south of Xinjiekou. There is also a Confucius Temple in the middle. It can be considered as the downtown area of Nanjing. There are many people coming and going in Nanjing. As long as they are not discovered on the spot, those Japanese people will be discovered and gone a few days later. Once their bodies are found, even the most sensitive hunting dogs will not be able to find them. Moreover, unless someone was looking for it, it would not be discovered in a short period of time. The police station and the Garrison Command didn't dare to make a sound after seeing the military intelligence in the house. He only knew how to think of ways to turn big things into small things. By the time they noticed, I would have already escaped. Now that Nanjing has a new owner, there is no way to investigate. There were only two possibilities. One was that the sewer was blocked, but this was unlikely. The naked pig was not even wearing clothes, so the sewer could not be blocked. It was summer at that time. A month later, he was so rotten that only bones were left. Who knew who he was? The other possibility was that there was a stench coming out, but the manhole covers were well sealed, so the possibility of a stench coming out was not high. It was not a big deal to not see many people in troubled times. These funds will be the capital for us to kill the Japanese in Nanjing in the future. Originally, I wanted to give those pistols to your trading company for self-defense, but later on, I thought that if they were leaked, it would bring trouble to the trading company. We'll need it for future operations anyway.”
After Murong Yao's narration. The secret of Sheepskin Alley was no longer a secret. However, there was an even bigger doubt in their hearts. Last year, their third brother was only 13 years old and was still a child. He actually did such an earth-shattering thing. Looking at the way he spoke, it was as if he had drunk a glass of water. The two of them could not help but feel ashamed.
" Don't look at me like that," Murong Yao said." In the future, the three of us brothers will definitely do more shocking things. As long as the Japanese don't chase us away, we won't stop."”
The three of them were talking. A person rushed in from outside the door in a panic. Wei Wuji saw that it was one of his employees in Wuhu Trading Company and asked loudly,""What happened?"
The shop assistant said," The three young masters are all here. Manager Li sent me to deliver a letter to the young masters. Something happened to Boss Zhao's house in Wuhu!"”
Zhao Ming Yuan's family was Murong Yao's reverse scale. He was shocked when he heard the news.""What happened? Tell me slowly!"
At this moment, Niu Yunfeng, Murong Qingshan, and Wei Yiqu heard the news and rushed in.
