Two days later, Peng Yichen returned to the Chinese neighborhood of Chicago, rented a small house again, set up a fruit stand, and returned to his old business to earn himself a mouthful of food.

After experiencing the matter of the timber industry, Peng Yichen's dream of "noble people helping each other" was completely shattered.

Through this incident, he deeply knew a truth.

In this world, there is never a noble person who can really help you. Only if you have the strength yourself, can you do what you want to do, and you won't even be able to protect the woman you love.

Of course, although Peng Yichen's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, the reality is that he still has to rely on a fruit stall with a meager profit to continue to survive.

The frustration in the love field made him more and more addicted to gambling.

Rolling dice, betting on odds and evens, pushing pai gow, rubbing mahjong, he plays everything, and the bets are gradually increasing.

Gradually, it came to a situation where he could not eat or drink for a day, but it was difficult for him to get through without gambling for a day.

Of course, it is impossible to develop by gambling, but this has made Peng Yichen know more and more gangsters and hooligans in the Chinese area.

Gradually, Peng Yichen's gambling is no longer about winning money, but more of a way for him to make friends.

It's just that every time he owes someone money, he has to hide at home for a while, not daring to come out.

It wasn't until the creditor forgot about him that he came out to gamble again.

Of course, the reason why the creditor forgets him is because he generally owes not much money.

He only borrowed $1 or 2 each time, and those creditors were too lazy to ask him for a long time, so they often gave up.

On this day, Peng Yichen hid at home for more than a month.

He pondered that after all this time, the creditor should have forgotten about the money he owed. He dressed up, quietly slipped out of his rental house, and walked straight to the west of the Chinese quarter.

After walking seven or eight miles, I came to the Yang Monk Temple Street in the Chinese area.

The name is due to the fact that there is an abandoned Catholic church here.

It belongs to the core block of the Chinese District, with gangs, associations, martial arts halls, and merchants, and is the most prosperous area in the Chinese District.

Here, even the police of the Chicago government have to give the Chinese gangs some face, and they dare not arrest the Chinese here.

In the vicinity of the Yang Monk Temple Street, there is a small alley, which is famous for gambling and prostitution.

After Peng Yichen arrived at Yang Monk Temple Street, he walked a few hundred meters to the south and came to a dilapidated wooden house alley that was crooked.

Inside these wooden houses, there are beautiful fireworks scenes, and some small citizens come to these women to fool around after hard work.

After a little further on, after the cabins, there are all kinds of gambling houses.

Peng Yichen walked on the road, constantly looking at the bustling scene on both sides of the street.

He couldn't help but feel that this was the real world of flowers, a place for men to show their strengths.

Peng Yichen looked at the gamblers around him who were spending a lot of money, and felt that he seemed to have matured.

Of course, he quickly came to his senses, and he knew that he was now just a minor character that no one cared about.

"I can no longer live like Hanako, and I have the ambition to do a big business in the Chinese neighborhood of Chicago. ”

But how do you go about achieving this almost impossible ideal?

Peng Yichen's mind turned and decided to start with gambling.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen walked into an alley and came to the largest gambling house on this street.

This was when he came to the casino for the first time.

After walking into the gambling hall, Peng Yichen suddenly found that the owner of the gambling hall who was entertaining guests was quite familiar.

He recalled it carefully, and then remembered that he had seen this person on the dock, and he had also bought fruit several times at his fruit stand, named Chen Shichang.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this Chen Shichang was still the owner of a gambling house.

Peng Yichen hurriedly went up, arched his hands, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Boss Chen!"

Chen Shichang, known as "Fusheng".

This person has no ambitions, and only seeks to be rich and peaceful, so he has a good reputation in the Chinese area, and he specializes in gambling and prostitution on weekdays.

Chen Shichang's gambling hall is more special, he learned a way of playing called smoking bamboo poles from the method of prostitutes eating flower wine.

Later, after his improvement, this game was changed into a set of pole gambling equipment.

It is to insert 32 pai gow on an iron cylinder, and make a skewer shape at the top of the lower tip, or 16 five-color silk thread iron skewers divided into five-four-three-two-one.

The dealer and the gambler, each inserting 5 pai gow on the iron cylinder.

If you bet on the size, you can laugh at the two decks of cards played by two people to determine the winner.

If you bet on the color, that is, who inserts more pai gow colors on the iron cylinder.

This novel and interesting gambling method has brought great popularity to Chen Shichang's gambling hall, so he is quite good in the Chinese area.

Chen Shichang saw that it was Peng Yichen, and hurriedly greeted: "Yichen, I haven't seen you for a long time, where is you getting rich now?"

"Where, where, just lost the wind and stumbled. ”

Peng Yichen said a word in the black words of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't dare to say that he was caught for adultery with others, but said that he went to other places to do timber business and lost money, and returned to Chicago.

Chen Shichang laughed and said, "Yichen, you can't make the climate in the timber business." If you want to get your head in the Chinese neighborhood of Chicago, you have to join a gang and find a backer. If you have something, don't say that the senior brother can help you. It's a big leak, a powerful gang, which is not a yard that leads to the sky and the earth. At that time, give you a word, and it will help you cover up the past!"

After Chen Shichang said this, Peng Yichen finally figured out why he couldn't be developed.

In the Chinese Quarter of Chicago, as long as there is power, you can get rich in everything, and if you don't have a strong force as a backer, you can't keep your fortune if you get rich.

He asked, "Can Boss Chen show me the way?"

Chen Shichang saw that Peng Yichen, a kid with a smart face and a person who dared to think and do, deliberately befriended him and pointed him out: "Yichen, why don't you join the Green Gang!"

When Peng Yichen heard that Chen Shichang really had a way, he couldn't wait to ask: "How to vote for the law?"

Chen Shichang blinked his eyes and said mysteriously in Peng Yichen's ear: "Open the incense hall in three days." In the middle of the night, you were waiting for me at the small temple on Monk Yang's Temple Street. ”

Peng Yichen looked at his mysterious appearance, and didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and agreed.

Although I don't know what kind of backer Chen Shichang will introduce to him, I don't know how powerful the Green Gang is.

But Peng Yichen knows that he has no choice now, he can only find a gang first and find a backer for himself, so that he can be truly developed.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the moon was sparse.

On the road from the house rented by Peng Yichen to the small temple on Yang Monk Temple Street, pedestrians appeared from time to time.

These people were all calm, and they just buried their heads in the road, and did not say a word to others.

Peng Yichen followed these people and walked a distance.

Suddenly found himself in the Evergrande fruit store, a guy he met - Yuan Shanbao.

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly aware of each other's intentions.

At this time, they both held the apprenticeship red post that had been prepared long ago, and they had a red envelope in their pockets to respect the teacher.

Before entering the incense room, according to the rules of the Green Gang, people like them can only be regarded as "sons", and only after apprenticeship can they become little masters in the Green Gang.

The Green Gang is one of the most powerful gangs in the Chinese neighborhood of Chicago.

The Green Gang's power here is second only to Hongmen, and it is the second largest gang in the Chinese neighborhood of Chicago.

Legend has it that the Green Gang has a history of more than 300 years.

There are many theories about the origin of the Green Gang, but basically, it should be formed spontaneously by the Cao workers who carried the grain in the early years of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, in order to put gold on their faces.

The time of the origin of the gang was advanced to the Ming Dynasty, and Jin Youzi, a scholar of Wenyuange University in the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, was the first generation of patriarchs.

The second generation of patriarchs is Luo Chuan, and Luo Chuan received three apprentices: Weng, Pan, and Qian.

During the Qianlong period, these three people were the grain transport officials of the Qing court, and they were ordered by the Emperor to recruit 1,326 apprentices and bring 1,990 and a half grain ships.

After transporting grain, Weng, Pan, and Qian were awarded military positions according to military merits, so they openly served Luo Chuan as their ancestors, set up 3 halls, 6 departments, 24 generations, and formulated 10 gang rules, so that the Youth Gang developed into a strict gang organization.

The 3 halls are: Weng You Hall, Pan An Hall, and Qian Bao Hall.

The six departments are: the Introduction Department, the Missionary Department, the Palm Seal Department, the Printing Department, the Ceremonial Department, and the Supervision Department.

The 24 generations are arranged according to: "Pure Morality, Wencheng Buddhism, Benevolence and Wisdom, Original Self-confidence, Yuan Ming Xingli, and Great Enlightenment".

The 10 major gang rules are: 1. It is not allowed to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, 2. It is not allowed to disturb the gang rules, 3. It is not allowed to despise the predecessors, 4. It is not allowed to mess with the rivers and lakes, 5. It is not allowed to pick up ashes and release cages, 6. It is not allowed to lead the water to jump, 7. It is not allowed to commit adultery, 8. It is not allowed to respect humility, 9. It is not allowed to open the gate and release water, and 10. It is not allowed to bully the weak and weak.

Later, the Qing Gang, like the people of Hongmen, because of the troubled times at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of gang members were displaced to the Star Banner Country, in order to unite and survive in this country.

The children of the Green Gang who moved from China to Chicago gradually again

The Green Gang in the Chinese District of Chicago is headed by the "big" generation, Chen Shichang is the "Tong" generation, and Peng Yichen worships Chen Shichang as the old man, and is listed as the "Wu" generation in the Green Gang in order, which is basically the lowest generation.

When Peng Yichen and Yuan Shanbao walked to the small temple, Chen Shichang and the previous generation of the Green Gang who were invited to support the scene had already arrived.

The temple blessing closed the double temple door, and the main hall was filled with incense smoke and candle flames. In front of the shrine is a column of black tablets on camp paper.

After waiting for a while, an usher led a team of "sons" straight to the temple gate.

Peng Yichen followed them to the temple gate, and the usher reached out and knocked lightly on the door three times, and after a while, he heard someone inside ask in a loud voice:

"Who are you?"
