He hadn't heard the news, and immediately wondered: "If such an illegal act occurs in broad daylight, the local government has nothing to say?" Have you found out who is responsible for this? ”

Wan Chun also took the opportunity to ask: "Yes, when such a big thing happened, didn't the government send someone to investigate who did it?" ”

"Why don't you send someone?" The driver said directly, and then shook his head and sighed, "But this is also a helpless thing, she is killing herself." At present, the anti-Japanese wind is so tight, everyone knows that they want to avoid all relations with Japan, and she is so powerful that she dares to mix up with Japan's high-ranking generals at a critical juncture. I've heard that her death has a lot to do with the government, because she had been in close contact with our government officials before that, and I was afraid that she would have some news out of her mouth, so I wanted to kill her. ”

Was it the government who killed her?

Wan Chun was secretly surprised, Li Yujun, as a happy woman, is also the pillar of Shanghai Grand Paradise, naturally there are many guests in the curtain, and it is not strange that Japan's high-ranking generals will be favored by her, but if the Shanghai government can disregard a person's life for this reason, I have to say that it is really too impatient, at least in terms of public opinion.

Then in her selfish heart, she was very willing to do it by the government, so that Zhongqing would not be involved. For some reason, although she doesn't necessarily like Li Yujun's personality, she can't help but feel compassion when she hears that she is pregnant. Zhong Qing, as her current sister-in-law, is very reluctant to make a life lawsuit in Zhong Qing's hands, and she has warned Li Yujun because of Zhong Qing. Second, her death was too cruel.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked the driver again, "So." Have you ever heard anything else? ”

The driver said, "Other statements? Does Miss Four mean that the murderer will not be the Shanghai government? Wow, that's hard to say. That Li Yujun is the top brand of Shanghai Grand Paradise, and the men he has followed can't count them on two hands, and no one knows if he offends behind his back, and people don't like her, and they want to kill her. It's just that everyone believes that ordinary people don't have that kind of courage, because the boss of Shanghai Grand Paradise is always the leader of this place, the famous Du Jiuye, Li Yujun is his person, and killing her is tantamount to refuting the face of Jiuye. The ninth master's temper is soft and hard. If you offend him, you can only wait for death. ”

"It's a joke."

Bo Yu sneered: "Killing people in front of the public is the government's failure to fulfill its responsibilities, and it is derelict in supervision, and now there are people from the underworld who dominate one side here, there is no king's law at all!" ”

The driver drove the car with a sullen smile, because he had not seen the eldest young master of the Li family a few times, he didn't know what his temper was, but he had heard from others that he was very knowledgeable and came back from studying in Japan. Then listen to him like a man who does not know the world. came to comment on Li Yujun's death, and his indignation was overflowing, and he intuitively felt that he was reading and reading to the point that his brain was broken, so he said: "Young Master." You probably don't know what we're going on here. Shanghai cannot maintain tranquility by relying on the government alone, for example, if a foreigner commits a crime in the British and French concessions, the government will not be able to intervene. asked someone to hand over the message to the ninth master, and then they came forward to deal with it in a private way. ”

He spoke about the concession. Primary alcohol couldn't help but be speechless. That is the root of the disease left over from the previous dynasty, and it can not be cut off overnight. Unlike the ceded territory, the concession is still nominally a leased country and does not have extraterritorial nature of its own. However, since the concession-using countries all obtained the consular jurisdiction of their citizens through unequal treaties, the administrative autonomy of the concessions restricted the concession countries from exercising administrative power within their areas, and some concessions even had legislative authority. The sovereign owner of the territory of the concession also regarded the concession as a foreign territory and did not dare to easily interfere in the internal affairs of the concession, let alone the presence of the army and police, so it was difficult to carry out judicial activities on the acts in the concession, and it would generally be difficult to extradite citizens of non-concession users who had committed crimes from the concession. At the same time, it also permits foreigners (not only diplomats) to carry out any activities that do not violate the country of nationality, in other words, activities within the concession may violate the laws of the country where the lease is located.

The current government is still in the stage of recuperation, and it is unable to mobilize the people, so it is just like a malignant tumor to maintain the existing peace. He had heard a lot of rumors about the concession from abroad, and it was said that killing a local man there was like stepping on an ant, and the government knew that it would only fine him some money, and could not arrest him, because as long as he was arrested, the ambassador of his country would come to his door in a rage, clamoring for the two countries to settle the matter by force. Of course, the government does not want to make a big mistake because of a small loss, and after a long time, it will fuel their arrogance.

As for the Green Gang mentioned by the coachman, he has heard of it, but he is not very familiar with it, he only knows that the Green Gang started from Caoyun, so it is mostly spread in the Jiangnan area. Later, due to the rise of shipping, Caoyun declined, so a large number of Qinggang disciples entered Shanghai and engaged in various industries. Eighty percent of the workers in Shanghai belong to secret societies, with the Youth Gang accounting for the largest proportion. Due to the special nature of Shanghai, the government of the concession often needs to rely on the power of the Green Gang to maintain peace inside and outside the concession.

Thinking of this, Bool felt even more chilled, and he became more and more confident in preparing for a school.

Wan Chun was very familiar with Du Jiu's name, and couldn't help but think of the young man she saw when she went to Shanghai Grand Paradise with Jin Li last time. Because Lu Jianhao once had the intention of joining the Qingmen, she was somewhat familiar with the Qinggang.

It was a gang that had arisen since the end of the previous dynasty, created by the three patriarchs of Weng, Qian, and Pan. At the beginning of the grass, Weng and Qian passed away one after another, and Pan Zu supported his ambition alone, and worked with his disciples to formulate family rules and regulations, exhort the people to cultivate virtue and discuss the Tao, and govern a group of market boatmen in an orderly manner. The full gang is a good talent, emphasizing the system of mentoring and apprenticeship, the size of the gang is based on the word generation, Yan Ran is a big family, and set up a family temple, all those who join the gang, no matter what surname, once they join the gang, they are the descendants of the Pan family, so they are not only into the gang, but into the family, and no matter what word class, a teacher is a teacher, an apprentice is an apprentice, by the grace of the elders of the Quartet, it also makes the green gang different from other gangs, and the relationship between the master and apprentice brothers is particularly cordial.

Generally speaking, students who want to enter the home must first worship the post, and write in detail their family background, occupation and name in the worship post, and then open the name of the incense hall by the three gangs and nine generations. After the baptism of the incense hall ceremony, it is still not a real Qing Gang insider, at this time it is called one foot inside the door and one foot outside the door, the master will be in this three years after the name, diligent assessment, this stage is called the master to visit the apprentice for three years, after three years, the student must visit the master diligently for three years, so that the master can assess whether he is really determined to enter the home, this stage, called the apprentice visit master for three years. After six years of testing, after determining the determination and character of the students, the master will begin to teach the basic rituals, or entrust the teaching of the stone hermitage, after one year of study, after passing, the master will choose an auspicious day and report to the household department, which will start to prepare for the opening of the incense hall and inform the six departments of the four nunnery and the three gangs of the students to the ninth generation, so that the student can be promoted to Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang students learn how to deal with others and how to move forward and retreat, as well as the basic lessons taught in each nunnery.

After three years of assessment in the Xiaoxiang stage, the master will consider whether the student's learning is in the right direction, whether he is loyal to the family, and whether it is appropriate to respond to the advance and retreat, if everything is in order, then he will report to the household department to open a large incense hall, and the household department will also inform the six departments of the four nunnery and the three gangs of the students to help the nine generations, and choose an auspicious day to help the students be promoted to the great incense, and the disciples of the great incense stage can be called the reserve master, they not only have to have the skills and knowledge that Xiaoxiang has learned, but also have to learn how to lead the people and preach the Dharma.

When the Master thinks that the disciple of the Great Incense is equipped with sufficient ability to lead the people, he will follow the same procedure to open the Dharma Incense Hall and grant the disciple three locks, three keys and a six-character mantra. No matter what the character of the class, when they see the Dharma Master, even if they are juniors, they no longer call them younger brothers or disciples by their seniority, but directly call them 'a certain master'. This is the respect for those who can take the lead in the gang and continue the incense.

In modern terms, it is not necessary to be subject to the restriction of seven years of entering the home, and this rule was established in ancient times because it was not easy to visit the master and apprentice, the distance was too long, or because the disciple and master were busy with work, so the time to enter the home was extended, mainly so that the master and apprentice could fully understand the situation of both parties. The name incense hall is almost not opened now, only after the oral name and the acceptance of the worship post, and now the transportation is convenient, so seven years into the house, this rule can be kept or not.

The Qing gang members come from all over the world, and if they want to know whether they are their own brothers, they must be confirmed through the Pandao Koukou.

This is the same reason as the soldiers standing on the guard shouting the password. There will be such a rule, mainly to avoid letting outsiders know too many secrets of the gang. This method will inevitably be used by people with intentions, and if they slander the court, it will inevitably cause great harm to the lifeblood of the gang. Therefore, the Qing Gang asked the disciples to keep secrets and strictly abide by the principle of three talks and three non-talks (the same way can talk, the incense hall can talk, and the gang can talk; Don't talk about teahouses, don't talk about wine shops, don't talk about bathhouses). However, the Qing Gang from the ancestor to create a gang, from Tongzhou to Hangzhou this section of the canal, a total of 128 gang heads, 72 and a half wharves, grain ships also have 9,999 and a half, tens of thousands of people, to recognize whether it is their own family is not easy, in order to recruit talents, and set up three quasi-three prohibitions of the rules (allowed to borrow and not allowed to steal, allowed to beat and not allowed to scold, allowed to charge and not allowed to lai), to confirm whether it is really their own family, there must be a set of clear and complicated identification methods, this method is called Pandao Tiaokou.

As for the handiwork, it needs to be passed on by the master and father, and it must not be leaked, such as the secret of the gang. Just because of the many and complicated rules of Qingmen, Lu Jianhao finally had no way out.

never imagined that a young person like Du Jiuye would be the leader of the Shanghai side, which shows his important position in the Green Gang. (To be continued.) )
