Chapter 15: How to Break into the Underworld
For the rest of the day, Guan Ke was thinking about a problem, that is, how to become a member of Honggang. His physical condition is very poor, and he does not seem to be a strong person, and it is obviously impossible to enter the Red Gang with great strength or "brave and good fighting".
When the little money left by the customs customer is almost not much left, the following points are drawn:
First, the gangsters in Honggang have strict hierarchies and few rules, but they are very strict in implementation, and they are rewarded or punished according to the "performance" of the gang. It is this attitude of clear rewards and punishments that makes everyone strive to move forward.
Second, the boss of Honggang is a suspicious person, he doesn't believe anyone, it is said that his palatial bedroom is full of expensive inflatable dolls, and I don't know if it's true or not. At the door of his house stood two bodyguards wearing sunglasses, two experts who were said to have been invited from the drug lord's den in Thailand, and the boss would stand at the door of the toilet even when he went to the toilet, in case someone hid inside to assassinate him.
3. Recently, a small number of people in Honggang have had a bit of a hard time because they have encountered a group of "butchers". On the east side of Tongqu Avenue that runs from north to south in Pingle City, a group of butchers selling meat suddenly gathered together one day, talked and talked in a low two-story building, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the rent was too high, and the younger brothers of Honggang wanted too much "filial piety money", and there was a tendency to continue to rise. The business was not easy to do, and the number of people who came to buy meat was quietly decreasing, which coupled with the heavy rent and filial piety money, made the butchers unbearable, and finally reached a consensus: not to pay rent for the time being, in order to resist the unfair law set by Honggang.
Li Duoan, the small leader of Honggang who is in charge of Xixing Street, is a little worried. With a round face, he went from house to house to discuss with these butchers, but they were all iron-hearted, and they didn't want to talk a word, so when they met, they lit up a butcher's knife bigger than his face, and stared at the little leader with a pair of round eyes. The other party doesn't speak, just stares at you. Li Duoan's round smiling face was inevitably a little stiff, but he still smiled hard, trying to make himself look kind and kind. He was about to start talking, but the other party had already slashed at his neck with a knife.
Li Duoan had no choice but to flee.
Li Duoan didn't talk to anyone, they all looked fierce and vicious. At that time, he suspected that his face might be too ugly, so he thought that finding a young man with a good face to be a lobbyist might have unexpected results. and a few of his subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, but no one recommended themselves. Li Duoan couldn't, so he pointed to one of the more handsome children and wanted him to be a lobbyist. Although the child didn't look eighteen years old, he was also a slippery head, and when he saw Li Duoan pointing at him, he shouted with a headache and fever, and walked while shouting, saying that he was going to take a few days off.
Li Duoan saw that he was relatively young, and he didn't care about him, but just looked at the remaining people and wanted to pick another one among them.
One of the upright middle-aged people felt that no one would go, so he said honestly: "Brother Li, no one will go." We don't know any of the inhabitants on this street? Although we are gangsters, we are still not as ruthless as those butchers. Looking at their appearance, they definitely dare to kill, although we are small people, we also cherish our own little life!"
Li Duoan suddenly became angry: "Since you know that these butchers are ruthless, why do you still need such a high 'filial piety money'?"
The upright middle-aged man was about to say, "Didn't you let us close the ground high?" but found that the hem of his single coat was pulled hard. The words that the middle-aged man was about to burst out of his mouth were immediately swallowed by him, but he said: "That, the market has risen! In the past few years, this has also risen, and that has also risen, and our money should also rise." ”
Li Duoan looked at the flushed faces of his subordinates, and suddenly quieted down. This little boss, his temper comes and goes quickly. He frowned, and stayed under a shady tree with a group of men, thinking about it, but he couldn't think of a way.
After thinking about it like this for nearly two or three months, Li Duoan found various reasons to postpone the collection of rent, but he knew that this matter could not be postponed indefinitely. Li Duoan was in a dilemma, he thought about it, there was only one way to keep himself safe------ smear oil on the soles of his feet, and slip the fuck!
On March 24, at half past two in the afternoon, Li Duoan and his subordinates gathered under the old tree as usual. None of them spoke, but each thought about his heart. And Li Duoan thought about what valuable things he should bring and which cards to leave at this time. He thought that if he could have more money, he would definitely fight his life and immigrate to the United States for refuge. He didn't have so much money, so he had to find a deep mountain forest or a remote area to hide. He's just a little person, and those characters will quickly forget about him, and who cares about a lewd and short half-thin little old man?
But it is inevitable that there will be some loneliness and hardship. Those places are no better than big cities, everything is scarce, and I feel uncomfortable when I pity myself for my old age and live the days of a lost dog. He raised his head, ready to let out a long sigh to vent his frustration.
His breath was only halfway through his sigh before he stopped abruptly.
A young man with a pale face walked towards them with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a very ordinary way, all second-rate colors that were easily bought on the street, and what really surprised him was the young man's face. His face didn't seem to be bloody, and he looked like a dead man crawling out of a grave.
Guan Ke's smile was very faint and natural, and he was confident that the smile he had practiced many times would definitely be able to infect others. In fact, it was indeed infected, Li Duoan's mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and after the initial brief shock, he stood up and turned to escape, but he still remembered the fact that he was a small leader, and he had to be dignified, so he kept his face calm and sat down slowly.
Guan Ke was inevitably a little depressed, and the smile that he had practiced for a long time had the opposite effect, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad and helpless. Guan Ke looked at Li Duo'an, who was pretending to be calm, and said, "Boss Li, I heard that you have been in trouble recently, and I can help you solve this trouble!"
Li Duoan looked at the young man again, and couldn't help but start frowning again: "I see that you will fall as soon as the wind blows, what good idea can you have?" He was very calm on the surface, but he was very excited in his heart, as long as he could help him solve the problem in front of him, he could continue to eat and drink spicy food in Pingle City.
Guan Ke showed a self-righteous smile again, and said, "But you have to promise me one condition. ”
Li Duoan and his younger brothers looked at him with strange expressions, like watching a ghost jumping around in broad daylight.
Li Duoan decided not to look at the young man's pale and terrible white face, he moved his gaze to his feet, and said sullenly: "Let's talk about the conditions first. ”
"I want to be a member of the Red Gang. ”
Li Duoan glanced up at him in disbelief, only glanced at it and quickly lowered his head, he once again doubted whether the thing in front of him was a human or a ghost. "It's as simple as that?"
Guan Ke looked at Li Duoan, who lowered his head, and said, "It's as simple as that. ”
"How about being my subordinate first?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you tell me how you can do it?"
Guan Ke showed his pale smile again: "No, it won't work if you say it, and you don't have to say this kind of thing." ”
"Do you know what the trouble we are in?"
"How can you come to ask for credit without some inquiry?"
"How do I feel that your speech is sour. ”
The upright middle-aged man muttered, "That's Wen Zou Zou." ”
Li Duoan glared at him: "What I say is what it is!"
Sensing that the scenery around him was spinning again, the passer took out the special analgesic from his pocket, took out a blue pill and swallowed it.
Seeing that he was carrying medicine with him, and his face was too pale, Li Duoan guessed that he might have some terminal illness. Such a person looks weak, but in fact, he doesn't care about it when he goes crazy, so he is also the most terrifying. He used his peripheral vision to scan back and forth at the passer, trying to find out what he really was for. After watching it for a long time, Li Duoan didn't see anything, but he felt that he had some inexplicable confidence in him. Maybe he really has a way, anyway, there are still five or six days before the day of paying the rent, if the young man fails, it is not too late to apply oil on the soles of his feet at that time, as for whether the young man really wants to join Honggang, or has other purposes, it has nothing to do with him. "And when are you going to help me solve the problem?"
"Right today, right now. Would you like to wait here for my good news, or will you come with me to see the excitement?"
The crowd looked surprised again.
Guan Ke showed a pale smile again: "I said, I've done my homework. ”
Maybe it's because he has been watching it for a long time, Li Duoan instantly feels that this smile is no longer ghostly, but really kind.
"Then let's follow you and have a look. ”
"I won't let you down. ”
So on the usually air-conditioned Westbound Street, a pale-faced young man appeared at this time, followed by the gangster snake on Westbound Street, this scene looked really weird, so it attracted a lot of visitors, the old man who shaved his head, the old man who sold old books, and the old man who was playing chess all turned their heads and looked at this strange young man.
