Chapter 45: Washing Hands in the Golden Basin
After the negotiations, the news spread quickly again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hong Yanwu's big story this time can be said to have shocked all the players in Nancheng.
Because he actually knocked many people and five "handles" to the ground at the same time, and both the means and the strength were shocking, and he suddenly pulled his own reputation to a very high level.
It can be said that through this incident, he has become a "legend of the rivers and lakes" who is hung by others, and has become the most revered figure in the minds of all the little characters. Not only is its reputation and deeds passed on by word of mouth, but it has even made many people follow and serve for it.
It's a pity that this "red boy" swore in public that "washing his hands in a golden basin" was not child's play, so the heart of many hot-blooded young people to repay the service could only be empty.
In a flash, three days passed.
Since the terms of reconciliation were fully promoted by the "old ghosts", they were not afraid to use the "eight forks" to renege on them. So during this time, Hong Yanwu did a few more things, and obviously began to fulfill his promise and willingly retired, which made the princes of all walks of life completely let down their guard against him.
First of all, it was Hong Yanwu who completely handed over the No. 19 bus line to "Red Leaves". Bus line No. 40 is also allowed by the "eight forks" and "bows" to pedal and unload. As a result, the entire Qianmen, Tianqiao and Yongdingmen areas quickly returned to normal.
As for the rapid increase in the reporting rate of police stations in these areas at a rate of several times, that is not something that Hong Yanwu can take care of.
Secondly, Hong Yanwu also arranged a back road for the five subordinates who helped him a lot this time.
Like "Xiao Shunzi", "Kitchen Knife" and "Three Jumpers", they were originally doing a good job under the hands of "Red Leaves", so after Hong Yanwu gave each of them eighty yuan of hard money, he simply sent them back to Baiguang Road in person, so that they could return to the "Red Leaves" sect.
As for the "little daughter-in-law" and "altar", the two people who took the initiative to return to his side, Hong Yanwu naturally treated him more kindly. He not only paid them double the hardship fee, but also carefully selected a more promising destination for them - the "little thunder" under the command of the "old ghost".
Hong Yanwu knows very well that "Little Leizi" is a ruthless character. He is loyal and capable, and he was cultivated by the "old ghost" as a successor.
Especially after taking the lead alone, he not only relied on the former power of the "old ghost" to quickly become popular. In the nineties, his hands and feet even extended to Beicheng, and his power completely broke the shackles of the Caishikou area and basically covered the whole city. It can be said that he will be entrenched in the capital for more than 20 years in the future, and he will be prosperous and worthy of the name of the "underground king of the capital". A newspaper in Hong Kong once wrote an interview for him and called him the "godfather of Beijing".
Of course, with the current status of "Little Leizi", it cannot be compared with such a "handle" as "Momiji". Hong Yanwu couldn't say it directly, he himself knew how brilliant "Little Leizi" would be in the future. So in order to make the two subordinates willing, there will be no misunderstanding. Hong Yanwu gave them an explanation and analysis in advance. In addition, he also said that if he really didn't want to, he didn't have to force it, he could find another way out for them.
As for the only reason for him to persuade the two, that is, it is good to cast a ready-made "handle", but precisely because the other party's power has been entrenched, throwing in the past is the icing on the cake, it is difficult to gain the complete trust of the new "handle", and the room for growth must be limited.
But "Little Leizi" is different, precisely because he himself is currently just an ordinary small boss. Like the "little daughter-in-law" and the "altar", there is no shortage of experienced and loyal "talents", if they are willing to go along with each other, they will definitely be valued by them. As long as they do their best in the future, it is almost certain that they will be promoted to the next level with "Little Leizi".
Hong Yanwu's good intentions were not in vain, the "little daughter-in-law" and the "altar" are both understanding people, after they pondered, they felt that this was very reasonable, so they happily expressed their willingness to work for the "little thunder".
Now that he has received the approval of the two subordinates, the third thing Hong Yanwu wants to do is to prepare a generous gift and personally bring the "little daughter-in-law" and "altar" to visit the "old ghost".
Speaking of which, he actually grasps two things at once. The first is to personally send two of his subordinates into the new "mountain gate", which is a very face-saving thing for them, and secondly, he also wants to take the opportunity to return the favor of the "old ghost" and come to the door to express his gratitude.
Because to be honest, although he hasn't figured out what went wrong with him, he is sure that the "old ghost" must have found his flaws on the spot of the negotiation.
On that critical occasion, as long as the "old ghost" said a word, all his foreshadowing and calculations could be easily ruined. But not only did they not break it, but in the end, they also came forward to mediate and helped him achieve his goal. This great kindness, he can't pretend to be confused no matter what. Besides, while he was grateful, he also had a careful thought, that is, he wanted to figure out what went wrong with him.
When dealing with people, there are actually two things, one is face, and the other is silver.
Hong Yanwu went to the door of the "old ghost" this time, not only brought four gifts of cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea, but also presented 300 yuan of "filial piety". He also sent two loyal and commendable right-hand men to the "Little Leizi". It can be described as polite and face-saving.
Sensible people are naturally liked. Seeing that Hong Yanwu knew the truth of repaying the peach, he respectfully came to visit on the third day, and the "old ghost" was also very happy. So, he not only set up a table in the "Jinyang Restaurant" to entertain Hong Yanwu, but also really explained to him during the banquet and solved the doubts in his heart.
The daring basket is all out of Hong Yanwu's hands. The "old ghost" said that he had enough momentum at the time, but there was something wrong with his movements, and the hand holding the detonator was too relaxed and too casual. On the other hand, the hands of the guns on the "Baofu" and "Gongtou" sides were different, not only trembling slightly, but also screaming, and their nails were white.
Hearing this, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but pat his head and sincerely sighed at the importance of details. At the same time, he also admired it in his mouth, saying that ginger was still old and spicy!
However, for Hong Yanwu's compliment, the "old ghost" who had seen the wind and waves only smiled slightly, and didn't care much. He asked Hong Yanwu a question he wanted to know very seriously, that is, why Hong Yanwu was so eager to "wash his hands of the golden basin" and get out of the "main circle".
Because in his opinion, Hong Yanwu's big victory is a good time to do a big job, and now the people's pockets are bulging again, it is a pity to be exempted from a corporal punishment.
Out of admiration and gratitude for the character of the "old ghost", Hong Yanwu did not hide it on this issue. He simply said his true thoughts as if he were to Momiji.
First, Hong Yanwu said that he took the wrong path completely because he was young and ignorant, and he really felt sorry for his parents and relatives, if it wasn't for his father's illness, he would never go back after he came back. So now, since the money for the medicine for my father has been settled. He didn't want to make his family worry and ashamed of him in the future.
Second, Hong Yanwu believes that the era has undergone major changes. In the past 10 years, the political and ideological struggle between the upper echelons has been chaotic, resulting in the impaired functioning of the public security organs, which has led to the disorder of civil security. But now that the chaos is coming to an end and everything is about to gradually return to the right path, once the dust has settled, once the internal organs are sorted out, the focus of their work will shift to cracking down on criminal offenses.
You know, this place in the capital is extraordinary. Because the capital is the heart of the whole country, the seat of government organs, major ministries and commissions, the headquarters of the three armed services, the State Council, the Party Central Committee, and the embassies of various countries are all located here. Rectifying and maintaining public order here is naturally the primary goal of the public security organs in the next step of their work, and it is an urgent task at the moment.
So in this way, there are still good days, but they are already limited. If you ignore it and blatantly toss it like now, it is actually equivalent to making money in the oil pot. If you don't know how to keep quiet and don't make some preparations in advance, once the time comes, you will definitely be retribution, and the old accounts will be counted together.
"Not necessarily, right? The world is never out of balance, it exists independently, red and black, always complement each other. ā
As Hong Yanwu expected, the first reaction of the "old ghost" was similar to that of "Red Leaves", and there was a strong resistance to the second point he said.
There's no way, they're all people who go to extremes all year round, they don't bend, they don't admit defeat easily, it's their character, and if they nod their heads as soon as they hear what he says, it's really a strange thing.
But then again, he didn't let others completely convince his thoughts at once, he just wanted to ask someone with a clear conscience to fulfill the obligation to remind these two people who had helped him.
No matter what, "Old Ghost" and "Momiji" have been mixed in society for so many years after all, and I think that as long as his words are gradually verified by reality one by one, they will always understand as soon as possible.
Therefore, he is not afraid that the "old ghost" will not like to listen, and still continues to express his views directly.
"Big brother, what you said is indeed true, and I believe it myself. The world can't be all white, no black. If that were the case, there would be no need for the Public Security Bureau to exist. But don't forget that in some cases, there are also extreme cases. So I'll tell you one thing: there must be victims in the change of dynasties, and heavy canons must be used to clean up troubled times! If I were to make an analogy, it would be similar to fighting wolves in the grassland. If there are fewer wolves, the herders can graze with peace of mind, and some small losses will not be taken seriously. But if the wolves are happy, then they must concentrate all their strength on hunting, and after eliminating most of the wolves, they will talk about recuperation. This goes on and on, and it never ends. In my opinion, I'm afraid it's on the critical hurdle now......"
After all, the "old ghost" is not an ordinary person, and he has experienced too many twists and turns. Hong Yanwu's sincere explanation was not sticky or not, and how much weight it had, he naturally quickly weighed it out. This made him involuntarily glance at Hong Yanwu with eagle-like eyes, staring at him in disbelief.
"These ...... You figured it all up yourself?"
"Big brother, eat a trench and grow wise, since I folded in, I will also understand what is going on with the state apparatus. To tell the truth, people are not afraid of folding, they are afraid that they will not understand the reason, and they will not be famous.
Hong Yanwu's words were actually perfunctory, but his expression seemed sincere, realistic, and true. All of a sudden, he made the "old ghost" even more stupid.
After a while, the "old ghost" woke up, and immediately put away his edge, and the domineering spirit of the hooligan was completely gone, and he asked for advice very seriously.
"Then you give the old brother a piece, how should you play the chess behind this?"
Hong Yanwu saw that the "old ghost" was indeed sincere, but he did not shirk it, and after a little silence, he talked eloquently.
"When the rapids retreat, how to leave a way back, you have to take the big idea. But I think there are two things you need to work on right now. The first is to clear up the old cases as soon as possible, so as not to leave any obvious handles, so that the public security bureau can be used as pigtails in the future. Second, you have to let your brothers keep a low profile in the future, and it is best to make a fortune quietly. Finally, when it comes to key issues, try to calm things down, or if you have to do it, you can only do it yourself. If nothing else, you should know how the humanity in our circle is, it is the norm to drink too much and blow nonsense outside, and when you enter the game, as long as the 'thunder' is bluffed, most people even have their mother's nickname. If something really happened, the public security bureau didn't solve many cases by itself, all of them were bad in the hands of these people themselves, and if they bit each other, no one could escape......"
"Okay brother, thank you, for your high opinion, my brother really has to give you a cup!"
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu's last words completely won the appreciation of the "old ghost". He picked up the wine glass and touched it with Hong Yanwu, and drank it to the full. Then he sighed heartily.
"Little brother, it's a pity, we didn't sit down and drink together. But seriously, brother, I really want to make you a friend, how about I'll leave it here, and if I have something going on in the future, you can come to me ......" (To be continued. )
