In the afternoon, he walked around Ximending with Lin Qingxia and others, and Wang Zijun separated from them and took a car towards Guling Street.

Many outsiders' impression of Guling Street in Taipei may come from the famous movie "Juvenile Homicide on Guling Street". But when Wang Zijun came here, what impressed him the most was books, the endless sea of books.

With Guling Street as the center, it gradually spread to Xiamen Street, Fuzhou Street, Ningbo West Street and other adjacent streets, and there are people everywhere who set up stalls to sell magazines, comics, calendars, used textbooks, all kinds of miscellaneous books, and even out-of-print books, thread-bound books, manuscripts, etc.

When Wang Zijun walked here, it was like being in a sea of books, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of ink.

It's a super bookstore!

If you want to talk about the origin of the book city, you have to go back to the period of the book. At that time, Guling Street was located in the dormitory area of Taiwan's "Governor's Palace". After the war, he said that his repatriation was imminent, and he sorted out his belongings, set up stalls of calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and books on the spot, and sold them at low prices. After he left, the market took shape.

After the retreat to the south, all kinds of outsiders became the providers and consumers of used books. Some Hong Kong booksellers who could not buy used books from the mainland came to Guling Street to buy them and moved them in large boxes. For example, works published in the mainland before the Anti-Japanese War, academic textbooks, and university books have become sought-after goods. Periodicals in literature, history and philosophy, such as "Long Stream", "Literary World", "Reader's Digest", etc., are sold out as soon as they arrive.

It's no wonder that a generation of martial arts master Gu Long would choose to live here, without him, it's too convenient to buy books.

No. 21 Guling Street, Sanfu Apartment, Gu Long's residence.

Wang Zijun was holding the manuscript in his hand, and he was a little nervous when he knocked on the door, and this nervousness was also felt when he first met Lin Qingxia.

Footsteps rang out in the room, and the door quickly opened.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The one who opened the door was a delicate woman about 20 years old, petite and charming.

Wang Zijun said: "I'm looking for Mr. Xiong." ”

"You're from the publisher." The woman had a sudden expression, "Yaohua went drinking with his friends, and he may not come back until midnight, so you can come back tomorrow morning." ”

Wang Zijun was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was not discouraged, and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Xiong is drinking?" Seeing the woman's vigilant expression, Wang Zijun smiled and picked up the manuscript in his hand and added, "I am a fan of Mr. Xiong's book, and I have written a book by myself, and I want to invite Mr. Xiong to be elegant." ”

When the woman saw the manuscript, she was also suspicious, thinking that she often encountered such people. She didn't invite Wang Zijun into the house, but pointed: "Yaohua said that there is a senior in the martial arts world who returned to Taiwan and went to pick him up today. ”

Through a brief conversation, Wang Zijun felt that this was a woman with no scheming and a very kind heart. But there were too many women in Gu Long, and he didn't know what to call them, so he had to say, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiong!" ”

"No thanks." Mrs. Xiong's title seemed to make the woman very happy, so she gave Wang Zijun another suggestion, "I'm afraid there are many writers at their party tonight, if you want to develop in the world of fiction, you can try your luck." ”

"Thank you and goodbye!" Wang Zijun waved goodbye.

"Thunder!" The woman also bowed politely and said goodbye.

When the door closed, Wang Zijun finally remembered who this woman was from the sentence just now, Gu Long's lover - Chiyoko, a foreign student.

Sitting in the car on Zhongshan North Road, Wang Zijun suddenly hesitated whether to go over.

This hesitation is not because of the cologne, but because of the Regal Hotel.

From the memories remaining in my head, I learned that this regal hotel is the property of the Bamboo Union Gang, controlled by Chen Qili's lover Manna, and many Taiwanese dignitaries also have shares here.

However, according to history, Chen Qili was very miserable in the early days of his release from prison, even worked as a small worker on the construction site, and Manna was nowhere to be found.

Chen Qili has just been arrested for a few months, and the Regal Hotel should still be in the hands of the Bamboo Union. Wang Zijun will inevitably have to deal with his former brothers.

Wang Zijun doesn't want to have anything to do with gangs, but if he wants to develop in the entertainment industry, he can't lose his relationship on the road.

Anyway, try to make it clear in major cases in the future, but you still need to be taken care of by the Bamboo Union Gang in peacetime.

The Regal Hotel arrived soon, this is just a multi-story building, but the outside is neon, the inside is also exquisitely decorated, the ladies are beautiful and generous, and the comprehensive strength is also first-class in Taipei at this time.

Not long after Wang Zijun entered, he was recognized by the younger brother who watched the scene. Soon, a young man who was not tall but extremely strong came over, put his arm on his shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Ah Hu, you are here!" Where have you been hiding lately, so that the brothers can find it! ”

"Brother Dun!" Wang Zijun also recognized this person, and the guy with a smile on his face in front of him was Wu Dun, the chief protector of the Houzhu Union Gang, nicknamed "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" and "Smiling Tiger".

In the Jiangnan case (1984), this person, Chen Qili and Dong Guisen infiltrated the United States, climbed from a cliff, and ambushed near Jiangnan's home for more than ten days, and finally found an opportunity. Dong Guisen rushed up and was killed with one shot, and Wu Dun went up and made up two more shots to confirm death. Later, Wu Dun and Chen Qili were held in the same cell for six years.

Not only that, but Chen Qili's imprisonment last year (1970) was also related to this person. Last year, Chen Ren ran away with 600,000 yuan of public funds from the gang and applied for police protection. Chen Qili's left and right hand Zhang Ruhong tracked down Chen Ren's whereabouts and called Chen Qili's house to ask if he wanted to do it. As a result, Chen Qili was running errands outside at the time, and Wu Dun was playing at home, and after receiving the call, Wu Dun, who was crazy, shouted "go up, go up" at the phone, so Chen Ren was killed under the noses of the police, and Chen Qili was arrested as the mastermind, and it was not until 1976 that Chiang Kai-shek died and amnesty the world, and was released together with Li Ao.

Chen Qili was imprisoned three times in his life, two of which were inexplicable.

Having said so much, you may not be familiar with Wu Dun, this person is Jia Jingwen's godfather, who has invested in the filming of "The Divine Doctor Heroes", the Soviet version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Unruly Princess", "Slam Dunk", "Thorn Tomb" and other film and television works.

Wu Dun patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder, sighed rarely, and said: "The situation in the gang is not very good, when you were injured, we lost several streets in Taipei alone." ”

Wang Zijun didn't know what to say, and Wu Dun's words obviously meant to persuade him to come back. After Cai Guanlun's comeback, the Four Seas Gang united more than ten gangs to comprehensively suppress the Bamboo Union Gang, although Chen Qili won more and lost less, but he also killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 himself.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the Bamboo Union Gang for killing too heavily a few years ago, and there were too many people offended.

"What are Brother Dun's plans?" Wang Zijun said tentatively.

Wu Dun said with a smile: "In terms of strength, it's not that our Bamboo Alliance Gang can't fight them, but that after the duck bully enters, the people's hearts are uneven. The white wolf is going to retreat as a temporary avoidance of the limelight, and then reorganize the gang, and when we do a good job internally, we will settle the account with those guys. You go and persuade your brother, the white wolf and I are too junior to control the scene, and he needs to come forward to reorganize the Bamboo Union Gang. ”

Wang Zijun understood it, at this time, the Bamboo Union Gang was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and Wu Dun and the white wolf Zhang Anle were ready to solve the problem of internal fighting first, and then unanimously to the outside world. can reorganize the Bamboo Union Gang, and several elders in the gang will definitely not surrender for their own interests, and although he and the white wolf have made great contributions, they have no choice but to have insufficient qualifications, so they can only ask Wang Zijun's eldest brother Wang Zirong to come out.

"My brother is tired of the rivers and lakes, whether he can persuade him to come out of the mountain again, I can't guarantee, I can only try." Wang Zijun said.

"Your brothers have a good relationship, and it always carries more weight than me talking to the white wolf." After finishing the business, Wu Dun winked at him with a smile, "Ah Hu, you haven't been here for a long time, do you want to let your sister-in-law pick a few good kung fu for you?" ”

"Brother Dun, you better keep it for yourself, I don't know how many you can bear!" Wang Zijun teased.

Wu Dun patted his chest and refused to show weakness and said: "One person leads seven girls, see who can't hold it first!" ”

After the joke, Wang Zijun said with a straight face: "Brother Dun, I'm here to do business." There's a bunch of writers gathering tonight, can someone check out which room they're in? ”

Wu Dun slapped the table when he heard it and said, "Is there anyone who doesn't have long eyes that provoked you?" ”

"No," Wang Zijun smiled bitterly, "I really have something to look for." ”

……

Thank you for your concern, in fact, the fever subsided yesterday, but I occasionally have chills on my body. I got up basically today, but my head was still groggy and I was not satisfied with what I wrote, so I kept watching a movie, and I started to recode words in the afternoon.

It seems that getting a cold in summer is more troublesome than winter.
