After entering the Huang Mansion, Peng Yichen seemed to be a different person.

He became silent and alert, paying attention to everything, and usually staying at home except for orders.

Prostituting and betting on these two things that he once loved like something, during this period of time, he didn't touch it, he didn't have anything to do on weekdays, and he was thinking about how to get ahead in his head at any time.

A few months later, after careful observation, he finally found an opportunity for him to soar.

He found that it was not Huang Jinrong who held the power in the Huang Mansion, but his wife Lin Guisheng.

This major discovery made Peng Yichen understand that only by hugging Lin Guisheng's thick legs and pleasing her could he be reused.

Since then, he has spent all his thoughts on Lin Guisheng, starting from every detail of life to please her.

After Lin Guisheng's meal, Peng Yichen would bring pears or apples that had been peeled round and snow-white;

Lin Guisheng wanted to smoke opium, so he immediately made the most suitable cigarette bubble;

Lin Guisheng wanted to rub mahjong, but he came up with an idea on the side to make his eyes look and handed a towel to wipe his face.

Day after day, the sky lived up to the painstaking people, and after half a year, Peng Yichen finally won the favor of this master.

Lin Guisheng saw that Peng Yichen, a young man, was both loyal and shrewd, and gradually began to send him a lot of envoys to do it.

First of all, he was asked to go to the "common stage" of the golden Rongkai to close the money——— in front of the front seat in the theater and the box seat of the flower building, in addition to the fragrant tea, there are also fruits for the audience to enjoy, whether you eat or not, you have to pay, and the price is expensive, this is a lot of income, the jargon is called plate money.

Then, Lin Guisheng sent him to the red light district of the Chinese district to withdraw the monthly money, and to the casino to "hug the platform" (collect money).

Every time Peng Yichen got the money, he immediately returned to the Yellow Mansion and handed over all the money, which was never bad.

After a period of testing, Lin Guisheng finally began to trust Peng Yichen, not only putting his own private money on his "seal" - usury.

Of course, if it was just like this, Peng Yichen would still only be a small role in the Huang Mansion, even if Lin Guisheng had basic trust in him, but he wanted to be the confidant of this shrewd master, but it was still far from enough.

Peng Yichen really had good luck at this time, and he was giving birth to Lin Guisheng's confidant, and the opportunity came soon.

A few months after Peng Yichen entered the Huang Mansion, Lin Guisheng had a serious illness.

The doctor couldn't find out the cause, so he said that he was a demon and a demon, in addition to asking God to worship the Buddha and explain it, he usually had to send some young and strong young men to guard, and with the three fires on their heads, that is, the so-called yang qi feet, there was a way to suppress evil and exorcise demons.

Peng Yichen was really sent to Lin Guisheng's side to be a guardian.

If it is an ordinary guy, accompany the proprietress and help pour water and serve tea, as long as people don't run away, they are already very responsible.

But Peng Yichen is different, he not only guards Lin Guisheng firmly and never leaves, but also can respond to Lin Guisheng's requirements at any time.

As long as Lin Guisheng had any dispatch or need, he was always the first to rush to do it for her.

Peng Yichen treated Lin Guisheng as his own sister in his heart at this time, and in the past few months, his thoughtful service to Lin Guisheng and his true feelings have made Lin Guisheng quite moved, and finally began to regard Peng Yichen as his confidant.

Lin Guisheng's illness gradually recovered, and Peng Yichen has been reused by the proprietress since then.

So far, in the complex and subtle "rivers and lakes" of the Huang Mansion, his identity has also risen, and the market has been very different.

Lin Guisheng attributed his serious illness to Peng Yichen's protection, and in front of his family and friends, he often mentioned it, saying that Peng Yichen, a young man: good luck is the head, and he is the most demonic.

Unexpectedly, because of this, good luck came to him again.

Cao Zhensheng, the mayor of the Chinese district appointed by the Chicago Council, was an international student at Harvard University in the early days, and came to Chicago to make a living after graduation, and became the head of the Chinese district because of his good relationship with the white people in Chicago's high society.

His status is basically the same as that of Huang Jinrong.

In the Chinese area, there is a so-called saying that one article and one martial arts, two bigwigs.

The one who wrote is Cao Zhensheng, and the one who is martial is Huang Jinrong.

Huang Cao's family are both officials of the Xingqi State government, and they usually come and go very diligently, which can be said to be a good family.

Not long after Lin Gui recovered from his illness, Cao Zhensheng's wife also fell ill.

Because he heard the legend that Peng Yichen was able to overcome demons and evil spirits, he specially sent someone to the Huang Mansion and seconded Peng Yichen to protect it.

Peng Yichen could only go on orders and stayed at Cao's house for a week.

I didn't expect Mrs. Cao's illness to really heal without medicine.

The owners of the two families were very happy, and from then on, Peng Yichen also had a certain status in the Cao Mansion, and he could freely enter the two mansions.

In front of Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao, they can afford to speak,

The Huang Mansion and the Cao Mansion are not far apart, especially when there are often official and private affairs on both sides, and they need to connect, so the work of sending letters and delivering things and passing the word at both ends naturally falls on him because of Peng Yichen's meritorious service.

Therefore, during the New Year's holidays, as long as there is a need, the two mansions of Huang Cao will reward or give him gifts. Buying some clothes, shoes and hats, getting a haircut often, and bathing frequently, Peng Yichen regained his glamorous and decent appearance.

It stands to reason that Peng Yichen was already Lin Guisheng's henchman at this time.

But Huang Jinrong and Lin Guisheng are both witty and scheming people, and in order to gain their full trust and access to their top secret core, they still need to go through a rigorous test.

Huang Jinrong and Lin Guisheng's thoughts, of course, Peng Yichen didn't know anything.

But he was indeed lucky at this time, Huang Jinrong was trying to test him, and a big opportunity took the initiative to find him.

……

One day half a year after Peng Yichen came to the Huang Mansion, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, someone suddenly ran from outside in a rage and reported to Lin Guisheng, saying that a batch of smuggled wine had just arrived at the dock and was handed over to a guy from the Huang Mansion, driving a small car, ready to be towed to the mansion and stored.

Several people who didn't want to pick up this batch of goods went all the way to the dock, and they didn't see the person who transported the goods.

The person who came to report the news was afraid that someone had robbed this batch of goods, or that the guy who transported the goods had swallowed this batch of goods privately, so he rushed back to the Huang Mansion first and asked Lin Guisheng to send someone to check quickly.

At this time, it was the peak of the ban on alcohol by the government of the Star Banner Country, and the price of a bottle of high-grade wine was sky-high, not to mention a whole batch of wine.

Lin Guisheng changed color when he heard this, Huang Jinrong was not in the mansion now, and several "thugs" in the Huang Mansion were also taken away.

This is a desperate task to move the guys, and the "footman" left by the Huang Mansion looked at each other and didn't dare to speak out.

Peng Yichen thought that this was a God-given opportunity, and he must not miss it, so he mustered up the courage to say to Lin Guisheng:

"Boss, I'm going to take a run?"

Lin Guisheng glanced at him, thought for a long time, and nodded in agreement.

On the one hand, she appreciated and encouraged Peng Yichen, but on the other hand, it was because there was really no one to send at that time.

Lin Guisheng asked again: "Do you want someone to help?"

Peng Yichen has already planned in his heart, and he will let go of the gains and losses, so he will do it in one fell swoop. He doesn't want anyone to share the credit, especially if he says who he wants to help now, it is equivalent to pulling others to sell their lives, and when the time comes, he can't help, but he will fall into the resentment of others, which is too irrelevant. So, he put on a heroic look, shook his head, and said yes

"No need, I'll just go alone. ”

After asking about the route of transporting "smuggled wine", Peng Yichen borrowed a pistol from the proprietress and brought a sharp dagger with him. Without looking back, he left the Huang Mansion.

In addition to the Huang Mansion, Peng Yichen soon encountered a taxi, he stopped the taxi, and after jumping on it, he didn't say the place, and directly instructed the driver to follow the route of transporting smuggled wine, and looked all the way over.

The taxi was flying on the streets of the Chinese area, and Peng Yichen sat in the car but kept thinking about who dared to touch Huang Jinrong's goods.

Peng Yichen believes that this person who dares to touch the gold glory goods is absolutely aware of the situation in the Chinese area, otherwise he would not dare to touch the gold glory things.

But in the Chinese area, bringing a batch of high-grade liquor is equivalent to bringing a time bomb, and I don't know when it will explode and blow yourself to pieces.

In the middle of the night, he was alone and carrying a high degree of wine worth hundreds of thousands, and he was in danger of being stabbed and eating guns at any time.

Therefore, Peng Yichen judged that no matter who moved this batch of goods, he must be in a hurry to find a nearby hiding place, it was impossible at all, and he did not dare to run far.

Furthermore, Peng Yichen analyzed: This person who moves goods will definitely not dare to come to the area controlled by the Huang Mansion, and he can't leave the Chinese area for a short time, so the places he can go are very limited.

Only by going to the Chinese area controlled by Hongmen can this person have a glimmer of life.

First, Hongmen and the Qing Gang did not deal with each other, and Huang Jinrong did not dare to go there to arrest people.

Second, the Chinese area controlled by Hongmen was all-encompassing, and he fled to find a place to hide, but no one could find him.

After thinking clearly about the only possible place for this person to go, and carefully calculating the time and distance in his heart, Peng Yichen immediately instructed the taxi driver:

"Hurry up, rush to Yangli Street immediately!"

Yangli Street is the border between Hongmen and the area controlled by the Green Gang.

In the middle of the night, Peng Yichen expected that the man would not dare to go through the alley, so this was the only place where he could pass through the Qinggang realm and escape into the Hongmen realm at night.

The night was deep, there were no street lights, no stars and no moon, it was gloomy and gloomy, and the wind was blowing in my ears. Peng Yichen sat in the car, holding a pistol, intently searching for the figures and sounds on the street.

Sure enough, he soon spotted a pickup truck coming from a short distance away.

This is Huang Jinrong's men, a vehicle specializing in transporting smuggled goods.

Probably in order to avoid Huang Jinrong's search, the car made a long detour, one step later than Peng Yichen, and arrived at Yangli Street.

A cart of high wine weighed more than a few hundred pounds, and this person didn't dare to make too much noise, so the small truck went extremely slowly.

Peng Yichen urged his taxi, and he was instantly blocked in front of the truck.

Both cars quickly stopped.

In the dark, Peng Yichen jumped out of the car, flashed his pistol, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the cab of the truck, and said coldly:

"Friend, you're bold enough!"

At this time, Peng Yichen also saw the situation in the car clearly by the moonlight.

The driver sat in the driver's seat tremblingly, and it was estimated that he was the guy sent to deliver the goods.

Sitting next to him was a man of five big and three rough, and it was estimated that this person coerced or instructed this delivery guy to do this important thing tonight.

The big man in the car was already shocked at this time, but he was in a dilemma, and retreating was Huang Jinrong's territory, and he might be chased and surrounded by someone at any time.

The way forward was also blocked by a taxi called by Peng Yichen.

After waiting for a long time, the people in the car trembled and asked, "Who are you?"

The big stone in Peng Yichen's heart fell to the ground at once, and the most dangerous level passed.

The thief must have had no accomplices, not even a pistol, otherwise, he would not have questioned and would have shot himself a long time ago.

Peng Yichen was very calm, looked at the driver first and said:

"Hey, drive. I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, as long as you drive the car to the Huang Mansion now, I guarantee that Sister Gui Sheng will not only not punish you, but also reward you with 20 US dollars. ”

Peng Yichen later recalled this incident and said that every word he said at that time was actually no time to think, blurted out, and after thinking about it, he said every word just right.

In the first sentence, he appeased the driver, the second sentence pointed out the Huang Mansion, and the third sentence helped the driver relieve the worries of being calculated. How dare this driver disobey his command?

Moreover, the reward of $20 that was promised to him at the end was indeed considerable for a driver who drove a car, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

This is called both soft and hard, and Peng Yichen showed the means of an underworld hero at this time.

The driver was all pulled together, and he was pointed at the pistol again, and the big man had no courage, and he didn't dare to move in the car.

On the way, Peng Yichen tied Dahan to the back seat of the taxi.

Dahan seems to be a hero, but he didn't expect it to be a coward, and he kept begging Peng Yichen for mercy along the way, wanting Peng Yichen to open up the net and leave him a way out.

After listening to this man's bitter pleading, Peng Yichen asked him: "You just want to save one life, and you don't want anything else?"

"Yes, yes. Friend, please do this a favor. The big man pleaded.

"I don't need my help in this matter, if you go back with me, the windfall will not be made, and your life will always be there. Peng Yichen said with a smile.

The big man didn't believe it, and continued to plead: "Friend, you let me go, I still have 100 dollars here, all for you ......"

Peng Yichen listened, but he didn't have a trace of emotion, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when has anyone ever been killed in the Huang Mansion?" Go back with me honestly, and it is inevitable that you will be beaten and scolded by Sister Guisheng. When you are released, you can leave Chicago immediately and save your life. ”

Dahan said gratefully: "Friend, thank you!"

Peng Yichen replied: "You don't need to sell my friendship, the Huang Mansion has never used knives and guns, but out of the Huang Mansion, whether you can escape from Chicago depends on your personal ability." ”

Dahan nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Facts have proved that what Peng Yichen said is true, although Lin Guisheng hates this guy who moves his own goods very much, but he did not kill people in the Huang Mansion, but just beat him, and after scolding a few words, he let him go.

After Dahan left the Huang Mansion, according to Peng Yichen's instructions, he tried his best to escape from Chicago and save his life.

Many years later, this man also saved Peng Yichen's life.

Of course, Peng Yichen didn't know these things at this time, and through this incident, he finally became the most valued henchman of Huang Jinrong and Lin Guisheng in the Huang Mansion.
