Chapter 73 What if I can't accommodate you?

The white soldier hurriedly ran to get the key, the iron door was quickly opened, and the light bulb came on, illuminating the entire room clearly.

Lieutenant Andre walked in in leather boots, and the bloodstains all over the ground made him stop.

It was not difficult to see that a fierce battle had just taken place in the house, but strangely, he did not see any bodies.

Everyone was covered with quilts and lying in bed, as if they were all safe and sound, or dead.

Andre walked to Dadaoxiong's bed, lifted the bloated quilt, and was immediately shocked.

Da Daoxiong was already dead, and the hideous wound on his neck made it look like he had died in great pain, but he was neatly laid out on the bed and even covered tightly with a quilt.

"Who did it?" Andre asked angrily.

A laborer who knew a little English was soon brought over. He was a Malay named Zhang Shoucheng.

As soon as Zhang Shoucheng came in, he saw more than a dozen corpses and was so frightened that his voice was shaking.

He nervously helped translate, "Captain Andre asks you, who did it?"

No one answered, the only one who responded to them was the trembling laborer hiding under the quilt.

An angry Andre lifted the quilt beside him and put the gun to the man's head, demanding, "Speak!"

The man waved his hands in panic, "Sir, spare me, I fell asleep, I don't know anything. I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything."

Zhang Shoucheng translated: "He said he knew nothing."

Andre suddenly remembered something, walked to the innermost part of the room, and lifted Luo Jiu's quilt.

Luo Jiu looked like he had just woken up, and his whole body was in a daze.

Andre forcefully pulled her up from the bed and checked her sleeves, shoes, hands...

He had a hunch that the deaths of these people must be related to these women.

But what surprised him was that there were no signs of fighting on their clothes or hands.

The room was covered in blood splatters, but their hands were clean.

Andre could not imagine that these four seemingly ordinary Chinese women had developed extremely agile skills after being tempered by the end of the world and ancient times.

While they were busy getting the key to open the door, they had already dealt with the scene and even had time to go to the space to wash their hands, change their clothes and shoes, and then greet the trial with innocent eyes.

The four stood on the ground and cooperated with the body search. Five or six white soldiers came over and searched their beds, but still found nothing.

Andrei was unwilling to give in, so he asked Zhang Shoucheng to ask them, "Did you do this?"

Zhang Shoucheng was very surprised. How could this be possible? But he still translated it truthfully and kindly reminded them: "If it has nothing to do with you, just say you don't know."

The four of them shook their heads in agreement. Luo Jiu said, "It wasn't us. We don't know what happened. Oh, didn't those people die from arrow wounds? We don't have bows and arrows. Please check clearly, sir."

Zhang Shoucheng's English was not good enough to communicate fluently, so he translated the passage by gestures.

Although Andre was suspicious, he could do nothing but walk away.

All the bodies were carried away and placed in the square, waiting to be burned the next day.

The room returned to darkness and silence, but outside, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the corpses lying in the square, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Things are changing in Liverpool.

Early the next morning, the four people walked out of the dormitory, and their roommates all tried to avoid them.

They said nothing, yet it seemed as if they had said everything.

The Qinglong Gang, which dominated the labor camp, was destroyed overnight, and everyone's eyes on Luo Jiu and others gradually became complicated.

Here, any newcomer who emerges will inevitably become the public enemy of all the major gangs.

Everyone tacitly believed that whoever could subdue these four troublemakers would be able to replace the Qinglong Gang and become the undisputed number one gang.

As the four of them walked on the road, they could always feel that someone was secretly watching them.

They handed the breakfast to the group of little girls and went aside to discuss the matter.

Cheng Yaoyao: "Although this place is heavily guarded, I heard them say that the leader here is Colonel Jones. If we can tie him up, we should be able to get out."

Luo Jiu shook his head, "It's not difficult to go out, but I don't want to go out now."

Zhong Jialing was stunned, "Why?"

Luo Jiudao: "It is now 1907, and our country has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

The next year, Cixi and Guangxu died one after another, and the country fell into civil war, and it was our compatriots who suffered.

If life in their country was not unsustainable, why would they leave their homes and come here to suffer?

If this situation continued, seven years later, the First World War would break out. Other countries took the opportunity to develop their armaments, invade and accumulate wealth, and complete the primitive accumulation of capital. However, we, the victorious country, had to suffer humiliation at the Paris Peace Conference.

It may be fine that we were unable to participate in this period of history before, but now that we are here, we must never let our country and our people repeat the same mistakes.

Since the first shot against imperialism and feudalism will be fired sooner or later, why can't we fire it?

There are still twenty years to 1927. How much money will be lost, how much land will be ceded, and how many people will die during these years?

By 1937, what could we use to resist the invasion?

History is a chain of events, and if we don’t want tragedy to happen again, we must start to set things right now.”

Feng Qi clenched his fists. "Then tell me, what should we do?"

Luo Jiu whispered: "We should organize a national salvation army, fight back, and defend our country."

"Fight back?" Cheng Yaoyao said worriedly, "Where can we get the army? Where can we get the warships?"

Luo Jiu chuckled, "If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us. As for the army, there are Chinese everywhere. In three months, they will cry and want to go home."

Cheng Yaoyao asked again: "What about the military pay? We can't use our money at this time."

Luo Jiu looked out the door, "Aren't there hundreds of millions of taels of our silver in the vault of Daying Bank? Let's take the money back when we have time."

Feng Qi listened and was full of ambition. "Okay, okay, isn't his Empire on which the Sun Never Sets awesome? Let's destroy the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets."

Luo Jiu: "We let the sunset come earlier, awaken the sleeping lion of the East in advance, and reshape a brand new world pattern."

Zhong Jialing couldn't help but rub his hands, "Tell me, how should we do it?"

Luo Jiu raised a finger and said, "The first step is to defeat the people here. The second step is to conquer them. The third step is to complete the first two steps first."

Cheng Yaoyao looked around and said, "I think the first step will be difficult. They can't accommodate us at all."

The Tiger Gang, the Sea Shark Gang, the Wild Wolf Gang…they stared at them as if they were a piece of fresh fat meat, wishing they could devour it in one bite.

Luo Jiu snorted coldly, "So what if they can't tolerate it? Let's see what tricks they can play."

When it was time to go to work, the white soldiers urged everyone to get on the bus with guns pointed.

The four people were originally going to work with the men, but unexpectedly someone in the car reported them. Lieutenant Andre quickly came over and asked them to get off the car.

He said in English: "I didn't buy you here to work. Women should be in the kitchen or bedroom. Get out of the car!"

"Just get off the truck," Zhong Jialing muttered. Just as the four were about to jump off the truck, a man wearing Buddhist beads suddenly stopped Feng Qi and said, "Sir, let this guy work with us."

As he spoke, the man took out a few British pounds from his pocket and stuffed them into Andre's pocket.

Andre didn't understand what he said, but he understood what he meant from his actions.

"OK." He adjusted his hat and ordered Feng Qi to stay in the car.

Feng Qi looked at Luo Jiu, who nodded slightly at her, so Feng Qi withdrew her foot and sat down steadily in the car.
