Chapter 2 Old Man Xu
Time always flies very quickly when people think about things, and before you know it, it is midnight. Li Yixuan decided not to think about it for now and went to sleep.
Unlike other places in Hong Kong, Chung Ying Street has always been very safe, and the small street of less than 250 meters and less than 4 meters wide is divided into Hong Kong and the mainland, with the east side of the street belonging to the Chinese side and the west side of the street belonging to the British side. The boundary marker has been completed, and the British and Chinese police have been patrolling back and forth. The hooligans didn't dare to come here to make trouble. Compared to the rest of Hong Kong, like two worlds, it is not an exaggeration to use the analogy of paradise.
The old man named Gu Qing deserved to be a real estate agent, and it only took one day to complete all the formalities, and Li Yixuan's identity and address were changed to Shatoujiao.
When the old man left, he told him that with the identity of Shatoujiao, not only the British can go, but also the Chinese can go, as long as you don't go out of the Chinese Shatou District. If you want to go to the opposite county, you must apply to the government.
Xu Ji Tea Restaurant is less than 200 meters away from Li Yixuan's residence, and the owner is an old man in his sixties, surnamed Xu Mingjian, and the locals call him Uncle Jian.
This Uncle Jian is amazing, he was a soldier in Sun Chuanfang's hands when he was very young. Sun Chuanfang also participated in the robbery of the emperor's tomb. Later, Sun Chuanfang's troops were dispersed, and Xu Jian came to Hong Kong, joined 14K, and became the safflower double stick of Xiangjiang at that time. After the age of 30, he became the main incense master of 14K.
Later, when he got older, he quit the rivers and lakes, came here to retire, and opened this tea restaurant.
Why did he come here to retire, the answer is obvious, how can there be no enemies in the rivers and lakes, and only in a paradise like Zhongying Street can he spend his old age in peace.
As soon as he entered the store, Li Yixuan shouted to Xu Jian, who was lying on the table: "Uncle Jian, a bowl of oily noodles, and a cup of milk tea." ”
"People are egg tarts with milk tea or pineapple buns with milk tea, you are oily noodles with milk tea, the taste is really weird. With that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
"Oily noodles, milk tea. ”
After Li Yixuan took out 10 Hong Kong dollars and put it on the table, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
After Old Man Xu accepted the money, he sat directly on Li Yixuan's left, "I haven't seen you much in the past few days?"
"It's been a bit busy these days. ”
"Busy fart, you can get rid of those things smoothly and count your luck, this world is very 'chaotic', if you are so young if you are targeted by people on the road, any two little 'mixes' and 'mixes' can make you unable to eat and walk around. ”
Li Yixuan paused, looked at the old man and said seriously: "If there is really such a day, is Uncle Jian willing to help me?"
Old man Xu didn't speak, a pair of eyes looked at him, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to see through his heart.
Li Yixuan felt a lot of pressure, and just when he couldn't stand the old man's gaze, the old man spoke, "You kid is very special, different from the people I've seen, and you actually brought two white bodyguards." As long as it's not you who provoke the trouble, I can help you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Jian. Li Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Kong is a place where the underworld is rampant, and it has a long history, and few famous tycoons have nothing to do with the community, the Huo family, the Dong family, and the Li family are all big pipes hidden behind the community. I think that back then, Jiang Guangtou also knelt down to the dock for Huang Jinrong.
In Hong Kong, not to mention the associations that extended under the political struggle, after the liberation, all kinds of mainland associations ran here, and there were many factions, and after all, this was Du Yuesheng's retirement place, and the disciples and grandchildren did not know how many, and the most famous apprentice was naturally Dong Chuanwang, and Dong Chuanwang's son later became the chief executive.
Therefore, if you want to mix here in Hong Kong, it is simply difficult to get the community done.
Don't look at Old Man Xu who withdrew from the rivers and lakes, but as the saying goes, once you enter the rivers and lakes, it is as deep as the sea, it is so easy to exit, Xu Jian must have made arrangements before retreating. Li Yixuan had been observing him for a long time, and a yellow-haired young man would come to his shop from time to time to drink tea.
If you didn't guess wrong, that young man should be the back hand arranged by Old Man Xu Jian.
Let Jack quietly follow the yellow hair for a few days, confirming Li Yixuan's guess that Huang Mao's name is Liang Kun, and he is a 14K new generation of safflower double sticks.
Xu Jian on the side also had mixed feelings in his heart, as soon as Li Yixuan opened his mouth, he knew what the other party was going to do, this kid wanted to be a big water monkey, if it was someone else, Xu Jian would have turned his face a long time ago. But seeing his white bodyguard flashing at the door, his eyes were cold, as if he was being targeted by a hungry wolf, Xu Jian shivered coldly.
After thinking about it, those two white bodyguards were by no means good, and the young man in front of him was not a simple person. What is he hiding in Zhongying Street for, isn't it just to retire with peace of mind, if this young man is really capable, it may be a good thing to have him take care of him.
Since he withdrew from the rivers and lakes, his influence in the gang has become lower and lower, and maybe one day when no one in the gang is willing to listen to him anymore, his death time will come.
Therefore, when Li Yixuan asked him if he was willing to help him, Old Man Xu finally agreed.
But his promise is still conditional, that is, Li Yixuan can't take the initiative to cause trouble, he is afraid that this young man will be angry and want to dominate the rivers and lakes of Xiangjiang or something, then the matter will be big, and his old life may be in it, so he has to give him a preventive shot first.
Of course, Li Yixuan understood, thinking that Old Man Xu was too careful, and the purpose of making a big water hose was to ensure that he could do business smoothly in Xiangjiang, and he was fighting and killing all day long for the territory like a ruffian hooligan, so Li Yixuan didn't have this nature.
After breakfast, he slapped a bag on the table, got up and left.
The old man opened the paper bag, and it was full of Franklin.
After returning home, Jack said to Li Yixuan: "BOSS, your gift is too heavy." $100,000, that's all we've earned in the past few months. ”
"What are you afraid of if you have no money, just make more money, don't bet heavily, will the old man do things for us, we can earn more in the future." ”
Jack looked at the police patrolling the Chinese side on the other side of the street, and asked a little uncertainly, "BOSS, do you want them to help us deliver the goods?" ”
"Every mistake, it's now the end of September of '76, the Cultural / Revolution has ended, the reform/opening will come soon, there is a huge market opposite, if we go through the normal channels, the tariffs alone are not something we can bear. If we want to transport our goods quietly, we really rely on a local snake like 14K. If the old man was smart enough, he should have taken this place down before the other gangs reacted. ”
Li Yixuan made himself a cup of tea, took a sip and thought about something, and asked, "How is that Liang Kun doing lately?"
When Old Man Xu left, he left two people, one nicknamed Brother Kun is the deputy incense master in the gang, and the other is Huangmao Liang Kun. The man named Brother Kun has been doing it for a few years, and his heart began to swell, and he didn't take Old Man Xu in his eyes at all, and only the yellow-haired Liang Kun still followed Xu Jian. Liang Kun is an orphan picked up by Old Man Xu and raised by himself, like father and son. There are many people who are worried about Liang Kun's position, and that Brother Kun is very worried about him, and he always wants to get him down so that he can help his own people to come to power. The incense lord was also very dissatisfied with Liang Kun getting too close to Old Man Xu, so Liang Kun was alone in the gang. ”
"Last night, Liang Kun came to Xu Jian again and wanted to come out to pull a single gang to do it alone, but Old Man Xu didn't agree. ”
"It's strange that Old Man Xu can agree, when he comes out to do it alone, he must nod from the incense master, otherwise he will be a traitor. Li Yixuan took a sip of tea and continued: "It seems that it won't be long before there will be a fire inside 14K. ”
Li Yixuan thought for a while and said: "We don't care who wins or loses in 14K, you and Billy just need to remember one thing, don't let Liang Kun die or be disabled." ”
