Demon Book Qi Zhai

Chapter 27: "Debt Collectors" in the Concessions of the Five Countries

Wuchang Red House, bath room.

With the sound of running water, Qiu just picked up a bucket of water and poured it over his head. In the cold April, when cold water was poured on his body, the temperature of the skin surface dropped rapidly after the cocoon was broken.

After wiping his face with water, Qiu continued to pour the second bucket of water on his body, then grabbed the towel hanging around his neck to wipe his body.

After taking a shower, Qiu only dried himself, put on loose cloth clothes, and went back to his room to sleep.

In the room, the light was on, under the dim light, beside the table, everyone was asleep except for Ning Ji, who was writing to Shuya to write the case file of the shrine in the Japanese Concession tonight.

"What is Captain Duan looking for?" Ning Ji wrote furiously without turning her head.

After returning from Hankou, Duan Dudu called Qiu Zhi.

"A lot of police officers died in the Japanese Concession, and in addition to the battle between the Feathermen case and the French Concession some time ago, tomorrow, the Concessions of the five countries will jointly pressure the Red Chamber to sanction the military and police." Qiu fingered his wet skin short hair.

In just a few months, they killed many people in the Hankou Concession, and even damaged the interests of foreign businessmen because of their interference in the Hankou monster trade.Now, the head of the consulate in the five-nation concession finally couldn't take it anymore.

"The debt collector finally came to the door. Interesting, interesting." Ning Ji said.

Sitting on the bed, leaning against the window, with the wind blowing in, Qiu only said to Ning Ji: "You lost the bet, why don't you buy cigarettes?"

Governor Long gave them a sum of money every month, but the money was handed over to Ning Ji and Xiang Shuya. Except for the money needed for a month's food, the brothers would take the rest from them if necessary.

Therefore, now Qiu only has money for food, and has no extra money.

"Master Baizhai doesn't like people who smoke." Ning Ji, who was busy writing, replied.

"How did you know?" Qiu only asked.

"If you don't believe me, you might as well smoke in front of him next time, and then ask him." Ning Ji's original intention was to quit smoking because of hatred, but Bai Xianzhen was just an excuse.Because he understands that he can only listen to the people whose hatred only cares about.

Ning Ji's words made Qiu only think of the clean peach blossom fragrance on Bai Xianzhen's body.He rubbed his fingers on his lips, as if he was missing Bai Xianzhen's soft lips.Next time, he will try that kind of kiss again.

"Since that's the case, I won't smoke anymore. It's just a gamble between you and me, and it must be fulfilled." Qiu Zhi said.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Laundry for a month."

"it is good."

No smoke, Qiu just closes his eyes.Outside the window behind me is the silent Wuhan.When his hair was almost blown by the cool April wind, Qiu fell down on the bed and went to sleep.But Ning Ji, who buried her head in writing the case, wrote until the sky was dim.

The next day, the military and police got up late.

Today, Qiu Zhi and Ning Ji went to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion to meet those debt collectors from the concession.

The sun shone on the bed from the window, and Qiu just turned over.After a while, he got up to wake Ning Ji up, and then went to wash up.When she returned to her room, Ning Ji had already woken up.Putting on his clean military and police uniform, Qiu Zhi said, "Let's go to the conference hall."

Ning Ji yawned: "Okay——"

The two packed up and went out. Ning Ji put the hat on her head in a half-asleep half-awake state, and then pinched her face to wake up.

Go to the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion. In the corridor, they met Minister Sun of the Military Order Department.Seeing them, Minister Sun said: "General Wang is here too, you have to be careful."

"Thank you Minister Sun." Ning Ji smiled.

Then, the three of them entered the door of the conference hall.

In the conference hall, not only the directors of the Consulates of the Concessions of the Five Nations arrived, but also Herbert Ingram, the boss of Jardine Matheson Co., Ltd., and foreign businessmen from other concessions.

Seeing Qiu Zhi and Ning Ji enter the door, these "debt collectors" showed unfriendly expressions.

As for the military government, Duan Dudu, Minister Sun, General Wang, and Lu Yuanyong, the patrol envoy in charge of the Hubei civil regime, were also present.

Qiu Zhi and Ning Ji sat down in Minister Sun's position.

As a result, the Hubei military government confronted the "debt collectors" in the concessions of the five countries.

The person opposite the enemy is Herbert Ingram.This well-dressed Englishman showed a gentlemanly smile to Qiu Zhi, and under his military police cap, Qiu Zhi's lips showed a cold smile at the largest foreign businessman in Hankou.

One day, he will personally reap the business that Jardine Matheson Co., Ltd. secretly managed.

Duan Dudu and Lu Yuanyong, the most powerful people in Hubei, sat at the front of the table. After seeing everyone arrived, Duan Duan first greeted everyone present, and then directly talked about the purpose of coming to the Five Kingdoms Concession today.

"Duan Duan, please give me an explanation for the killing that happened in front of the shrine last night!" the director of the consulate in the Japanese Concession asked with a gloomy face.

Last night, Ning Ji led people to block the way of the police in the Japanese Concession. Afterwards, only corpses were left in front of the shrine.The shrine was set on fire.

"This matter—" Ning Ji raised her hand with a smile.

"Vice Captain Ning, please tell us what happened yesterday." Duan Dudu said.

"This matter is the fault of the Japanese Concession." Ning Ji spoke concisely with a smiling face, and the Japanese curator choked, his face flushed with anger.

"How can a sinful person falsely accuse the deceased, how can he let the dead heroic spirits find peace!" The curator's face turned blue and red.

"The shrines in the Japanese Concession captured monsters and beggars to create monsters, so the military and police had no choice but to intervene. As for trying to stop your patrol, this is a misunderstanding." The smile on Ning Ji's face made the "debt collector" on the opposite side think Tear up the man with the smiley "mask".

"Your Excellency killed our policeman, but told us it was a misunderstanding?" The face of the curator turned black.

"If they are willing to listen to my explanation and break through the shrine with the military and police to expose the dirty things inside, it won't cause such consequences. The curator should know the meaning of our military and police existence." Ning Ji laughed. .

Where there are military and police forces, there are bound to be deals with demons and spirits.

It was Duan Dudu himself who granted these rights to the military and police forces.

"Duan Dudu! We need an apology!" the director of the Japanese curator said sternly to Duan Dudu.

Duan Dudu knew in his heart what happened at the shrine in the Japanese Concession last night.He raised his hand to interrupt the Japanese curator: "Please be calm." He said to the other curators and ocean merchants, "Next."

After hearing Duan Duan's words, everyone present was strangely quiet.

The director of the consulate in the French Concession coughed, and said, "In March, the military and police forces broke into the French Concession and fought against the police. They made us lose our excellent police officers. Duan Duan, please give me an explanation!"

"This matter—" Ning Ji continued to raise her hand with a smile on her face.

"Vice Captain Ning, please tell me." Duan Duan said.

"Because the foreign businessman Wilson stole the eggs of the Feathermen, this action angered the Feathermen. In order to get back the big white egg and revenge, the Feathermen lost control and entered the French Concession by mistake with guns. In order to stop the Feathermen who lost their minds, the military and police force I had to enter the French Concession, unfortunately—" Ning Ji paused for a moment while talking.

"What a pity?" The curator's expression became ugly because of Ning Ji's words.

"Unfortunately, not only did the Chief Inspector of the French Concession Patrol Office not cooperate with us, but he also slaughtered all the Feathermen." The smile on Ning Ji's face eased.

"You lied!" the curator said loudly.Obviously it was the group of "angels" who slaughtered the police, and the police had no choice but to fight back!

"My lord, on that day, many people saw that the police were trying to hide the corpses of the Feathermen. If it wasn't for the Yinyang Zhai, the massacred corpses of the Feathermen would have already fallen into your hands. I am right about this. I don't know, what are you planning to do with the corpses of the Feathermen? I believe everyone present is very interested in this point." Qiu Zhi looked at the director of the Fa with no emotion in his eyes.

Following Qiu Zhi's words, everyone turned their attention to the curator.

The curator choked.

"Next." Duan Duan interrupted at the right time.

This time, the Russian Concession opened.

"You almost destroyed the entire Russian Concession!" the director of the consulate in the Russian Concession said dissatisfied.

The explosion at the Fifth Execution Ground shook the entire Hankou Concession, especially the Russian Concession, which was hit hardest.The ground around the explosion center was completely cracked.If it weren't for the formations set up in the five execution grounds to limit the explosion suppression within the formations, the entire Russian concession would have been destroyed long ago!

"This matter—" Ning Ji continued to raise her hand.

"Shut up!" the curator of the Russian Concession said sternly, pointing at Ning Ji.This man with a smile on his face is really annoying to him!

"Vice Captain Ning continued." Duan Duan said.

"Thank you, Commander Duan. I think everyone here knows what's going on with this matter." Ning Ji looked leisurely.

The people present were silent for a while, and Herbert Ingram asked with a smile: "Please explain, Your Excellency."

What Herbert Ingram said made Qiu Zhi sneer, and he slowly said: "The Fifth Execution Ground is in the Russian Concession, what is it inside, I believe that if you investigate the people who died on the day the Fifth Execution Ground exploded, you will know the truth .”

Those who go to the Fifth Execution Ground to have fun are all high-ranking dignitaries, and the foreign businessman opposite him knows who the master behind the Fifth Execution Ground is.On the day when the army and police force and Yinyangzhai broke through the five execution grounds, all the high-ranking dignitaries who failed to escape the five execution grounds died.As long as they take the initiative to investigate the people who died on the day of the fifth execution ground explosion, they can give the Russian Concession an explanation.

The identities of the high-ranking dignitaries who died involved in the incident are enough to prove what kind of existence the Fifth Execution Ground really is.

"This is not a reason why you can enter the rented world to kill at will." Herbert Ingram said to the enemy across the table.

In the concessions of the five countries, not only the concessions of Japan, France, and Russia, but also the concessions of Britain and Germany were damaged by the military and police forces.On the grounds of being suspected of arresting and selling demons and ghosts, the military and police committed many bloody battles in the concession, which directly challenged the majesty of those in power in the concession and caused huge losses to foreign merchants.

Herbert Ingram was supported by the concession.

"We absolutely cannot allow the military and police to do anything wrong in the concession!" Director De said.

"Military and police forces must be judged!" Director Ying said.

"They are not allowed to step into the Russian Concession again!" said the Russian curator.

"We don't welcome military and police forces in the Japanese Concession!" said the Japanese curator.

"Second!" said the director of the French Concession.

The highest authority in the five-nation concession put pressure on Duan Dudu, forcing him not to allow the military and police to step into the concession.Herbert Ingram, the largest foreign businessman in the concession, said: "Duan Duan, the military government should know the consequences of fighting against the concession."

The curator of the five-nation concession and the foreign businessmen who came here set their sights on Duan Dudu, who had a deep expression on his face.

Putting the military police force and the concessions on the table, they believed that Duan Duan was a sensible person, and he would definitely not fight against the concessions of the five countries for a military police force.
