Chapter 282 Secret Building

Peng Dezhu believed that Xia Xiaoping, Chen Ning and others did not dare to provoke the Japanese easily without weapons. His idea was a bit natural. He never thought that since they could get the weapons in front, wouldn’t it be very easy to get some weapons? Moreover, the parents of these students are more or less well-known figures in the city of Peking, so it is not difficult for them to get some guns and ammunition.

Within the next two or three days, Xia Xiaoping and others would gather at Chen Ning's house after school to discuss preparing for sneak attacks on the Japanese. During training, all the weapons were taken away by Jiang Yige. The first step they had to do now was to get some guns and ammunition.

In the end, this matter was handed over to Wei Jiazhi. One of Wei Jiazhi's cousins ​​was the manager of a trading company, and the business they did had had some relationship with the Japanese military. As long as Wei Jiazhi could confuse his cousin and get out of him with more weapons and ammunition, it would be very simple.

Not far from the Wangfu Street in Peiping, Wei Jiazhi approached a place called Fulong Trading Company. The shop was very lively. A person who was dressed in a reception came over and greeted Wei Jiazhi, "Oh! Isn't this the young master of Jiazhi? Why, are you here to find your uncle Manager Wei?"

Wei Jiazhi responded enthusiastically and said, "How is Uncle Zhao doing recently? Is my uncle here?"

Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "Yes! In the office upstairs, you guys haven't been here for a while. Have you been with that lady recently?"

"Nothing happened? The school has been going on a lot recently. Today I took the time to see my uncle!" Wei Jiazhi said, walked towards the stairs, and said to Uncle Zhao: "I'll go see my uncle!"

In the second floor manager's room, Wei Yingmin was working on his desk and was listening to a comprador report a batch of goods to him. This batch of goods was to be transported to the Japanese Kwantung Army outside the pass, so Wei Yingmin personally inquired.

The comprador took a document and handed it to Wei Yingmin and said, "This is a list of goods for delivery. And this one is a train hut that needs to be hired. We have a total of three car luggage. However, even these three carriages cannot transport all our goods at once!"

Wei Yingmin asked strangely: "Not enough? Then why not hire a few more festivals? This batch of goods is given to the Kwantung Army, and we can't be careless at all!"

The comprador said helplessly: "It's not that you don't rent it, but that you can't rent it! All the other cars of this train were booked by Dahua Trading Company, and now there is no room for it!"

When Wei Yingmin heard that it was the Dahua Business Company again, he couldn't help but frown. It was not a matter of one or two days to go against him. Unexpectedly, they didn't even give Japan a face now.

"Dou! Dou! Dou!"

The knock on the door interrupted Wei Yingmin's thoughts. The comprador turned around and looked at the door, then looked at Wei Yingmin. Wei Yingmin immediately shouted outside the door: "Come in!"

Wei Jiazhi walked in and saw the comprador standing in front of Wei Yingmin, and said, "Uncle is busy? Then I'll wait a while before coming over!"

As he said that, he turned around and prepared to go out, but Wei Yingmin immediately called him, signaled the comprador to go out, and told him to find a way to get a few carts from Dahua Trading Company.

After the comprador went out, Wei Yingmin walked out from behind the desk and let Wei Jiazhi sit on the sofa. At the same time, he said lovingly: "You little brat, do you still know how to come to see me? Did you go there some time ago? It made my brother and sister-in-law anxious for a month!"

Wei Jiazhi laughed and picked up the tea that Wei Yingmin poured for him without hesitation, took a sip and said, "I went out to play with a few classmates, and I didn't have to worry about it."

"You boy! You're just playing around and forgetting your parents?" Wei Yingmin said, patting Wei Jiazhi's head with affectionateness, and then said, "How are you doing in school recently? Do you have any of the ladies from any family? If you like it, tell your uncle, you'll be a matchmaker for you!"

Wei Jiazhi said to Wei Yingmin shyly, "There is something I have, how old I am now, it's not time yet!" As he said that, he paused for a moment and continued, "Uncle, I'm here today, in addition to seeing you, I also want you to help."

Wei Yingmin asked in surprise when he heard this, "Oh! What's the matter? Tell me! As long as uncle can help you, I will definitely help you!"

Wei Jiazhi was a little reluctant but stopped, and did not dare to say bluntly that he hoped that Wei Yingmin would get him weapons and ammunition. Seeing him like this, Wei Yingmin smiled and asked strangely: "Haha, what's wrong? What's the matter? I'm embarrassed to say it. Did I really guess what daughter of which family do you like?"

"No! No!" Wei Jiazhi quickly shook his hands and said, "It's not like this. I want to... I want to ask my uncle to help get some guns and bullets."

The Wei family's words were very low when they spoke, but it scared Wei Yingmin. He stared in surprise and asked, "What are you doing for guns? That thing is very dangerous. If the Japanese know, then what's up!"

Wei Jiazhi had already thought of the excuse, so when he saw Wei Yingmin so nervous, he hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't get me wrong. We wanted a gun because when we went out to play some time ago, we met a bad guy on the way. If it weren't for a few passing knights to rescue us, our female classmates might have been ruined by those bad guys. So, later we thought that each person would put the gun on his body and treat it as self-defense!"

Wei Yingmin asked strangely: "Where have you been? Who are you meeting?"

Wei Jiazhi had already discussed with Chen Ning and others in advance, so he said that he had gone to Zhangjiakou to visit their classmates. He encountered bandits on the way, so he wanted to get a few guns to defend himself. After hearing this, Wei Yingmin did not believe it, but since his beloved nephew spoke, he was embarrassed to refuse. After telling them not to use guns to deal with the Japanese, and at the same time, they could not let the Japanese know that the guns would not fall into the hands of anti-Japanese elements, Wei Yingmin promised Wei Jiazhi to get him a few guns and add hundreds of bullets.

Within a few days, Wei Jiazhi received a message from Wei Yingmin, saying that the few books he wanted had arrived and asked him to take his classmates to his home to pick them up in the evening. Wei Jiazhi, who knew his intentions, immediately told Chen Ning, Xia Xiaoping and others the good news. That night, Chen Ning, Wei Jiazhi, Wu Feng and Zhong Feigang, four of them went to Wei Yingmin's home to get the guns and ammunition they needed.

With guns and ammunition, all they have to do is to find opportunities. Last night, the sneak attack on the Japanese in the street failed. If Peng Dezhu and others had not appeared in time, they might have all left on the street. Therefore, before this operation, Chen Ning suggested that all preparations must be made, including the time the Japanese patrol team had entered.

This time they are not going to attack the patrol team on the Japanese Street, and are preparing to find a fixed Japanese stronghold to start. Therefore, in the next few days, Xia Xiaoping, Chen Ning and others will be divided into three groups, and they seem to be aimlessly wandering on the street every day, but in fact they are to find new goals.

Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning were still in the same group. They dressed up as couples, interspersed around the streets and alleys of Peking, hoping to find a suitable place to start. At the end of Yongcheng Lane in the west of the city, Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning turned here and accidentally found that several people in black suits were wandering around under a small building. When the two approached with their arms in hand, these people looked at them very vigilantly. Two of them walked towards them and shouted at them sternly: "Go back! No one here can pass!"

"Ghost!" Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning's words appeared in shock. What are these Japanese doing here so mysteriously, and they are not allowed to get close. Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning did not dare to approach recklessly, and then immediately retreated and observed the situation of the Japanese at the intersection of the distant street.

But for an afternoon, Chen Ning and Xia Xiaoping found that these Japanese were not moving, and they were wandering around under the two-story building. However, if someone wanted to get close, they would be driven away by the Japanese immediately.

"There must be a problem here. Those who can be protected by the Japanese are either important people or important things!" Chen Ning leaned against the wall and said to Xia Xiaoping.

Xia Xiaoping nodded and said in agreement: "Well! It will definitely not be simple! But how can we know what is here?"

"Wait! I don't believe that these Japanese devils have been standing here. If they are protecting people, then this person will definitely come out!"

Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning had to wait patiently until it got darker. Chen Ning and Xia Xiaoping could only see the existence of a few Japanese but could not see clearly. At this time, a man wearing a top hat and holding a civilized stick walked out of the small building. Then, several Japanese quickly went up and surrounded the man in the middle to protect him. They walked a short walk before, and a car stopped in front of them. The Japanese opened the car door for the man. Chen Ning and Xia Xiaoping couldn't see what he looked like, and wanted to step forward, but the car had already driven away.

Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning did not follow because the Japanese were very cautious. When they saw the figures of the two, the three Japanese pulled out their guns from their waists and walked towards them. Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning hurriedly turned around and left, but when they left, they did not notice that Liao Kun had been sitting there for a whole afternoon in a tea shed not far away.
