Chapter Ninety-Seven: Second Master

Because there is a sixth oath in the 36 oaths of Hongmen: the brothers of the Hong family, they must not be private eyeliners, arrest their own people, that is, there is an old hatred, when the brothers are passed on, judge the merits, and never hold a grudge, in case of misunderstanding and arrest, they should be let go immediately, if there is a violation, the five thunders will be destroyed. Following this oath, the brother went out to ask, and it happened that today coincided with the wedding of a little brother at the bottom, and many people followed the wedding, and no one went out to do the business of kidnapping tickets. However, someone saw that the Green Gang had made a big ticket today, and said that he had killed someone.

He hurriedly came back and told Hua Wusheng everything about the matter. Hua Wusheng patted the armrest of the rattan chair and thought about it secretly, although they Hongmen and the Qinggang did not belong to the same faction, but as early as in the life of Shi Shuzu, the two factions were as close as one faction, and the brothers of the two factions were very polite when they met each other. If it is really the people of the Green Gang who do this thing, I am afraid that this thing will not be good, and my own Hongmen will also be embarrassed, which is really inappropriate.

But as far as Hongmen is concerned, there is a seventh oath in the thirty-six oaths: in case of brotherly difficulties, it is necessary to help each other, money, silver, water and feet, no matter how much, each does his best, if there is no care, the five thunders will be destroyed. Hua Wusheng was in a dilemma, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and smiled at Zhong Qing: "Brother and sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this matter." My brother is very obedient today, I haven't seen the young lady you said, don't be where she went to play, didn't inform you, right? ‘

Zhong Qing said that he hadn't seen it, so he was a little flustered, Hongmen's power was already big enough, if they didn't know, then Wanchun's fate would be really dangerous, so he reluctantly smiled and explained: "My sister rarely comes to Shanghai, and she doesn't know the road, so she won't go anywhere to play by herself." I'm just afraid something will happen to her. ‘

Hua Wusheng sighed secretly, it was not easy for her to come on this trip. I couldn't tell her to go back empty-handed, so I said, 'I don't have it here.' Don't be wary of others who don't have it--brother and sister, you can find someone to go to Bailou and Qingbang to ask and see if there is any whereabouts of Miss Guifu. ‘

Zhong Qing's chest jumped, Hua Wusheng has never said headless words, he said that Hongmen didn't believe her, but he didn't believe her if he hadn't heard of her. Seeing that he mentioned the White Gate and the Green Gang, then it is certain that Wanchun is in these two factions. Among them, the snobbery of the White Gate has been suppressed by the Qing and Hong gangs, and it has been weakened a lot, and it is hardly worth mentioning. Except for petty fights and some protection fees, large businesses are rarely involved.

The Qing Gang is not, since the Qing Gang of the big characters Xiang Shaolin took over the Qing Gang to become the boss, one after another adopted many righteous sons, Jianghu people said that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, it is his six righteous sons, the eldest Zaifeng, the second Xiang Xiaoyun, the third Li Yu, the fourth dragon prince, the fifth Cheng Yan, and the sixth Du Chongguang. There are these six righteous sons to help him fight the world. Adding wings to Shaolin, the business of the Qinggang was expanded from Shanghai to Suzhou, Xichang and Chang in a few years.

The gang is not only engaged in arms smuggling and opium trafficking, but is also involved in prostitution. There are two scenarios of collusion. The first is to protect brothels and illegal prostitutes through the vicious forces of house arresters and local tyrants, and quickly open a number of casinos, brothels, and hotels around the Shanghai Grand Paradise. A gold cave centered on the Great Paradise was formed. All kinds of private prostitutes also use the Great Paradise to attract business. But most gang leaders mainly act as protectors of brothels and prostitution. At that time, there were hundreds of brothels in Shanghai's Sima Road and Huile, and each brothel raised one or several 'turtle melons'. Act as a bodyguard, thug, and help the bustard manage the prostitutes. Both these people and brothel owners are required to join gangs.

A second way for gangs to collude with brothels is through traffickers to provide brothel bosses with alternate young prostitutes. The women who have been selling skin and flesh for a long time, because they have been ravaged, are always fleeting, and their youth is short. Inferior prostitutes, in particular, are ravaged and have a limited age to eat this line of food. Therefore, the brothel owner should always pay attention to the beauty and try to replace it. And those who can provide them with 'goods' on a regular basis and in large quantities are mainly gang members who make a living from human trafficking. Human trafficking in gangs provides new blood for brothels, promotes the flourishing of prostitution, and provides new opportunities for the gangs themselves to make a fortune.

If Wanchun really encounters such a situation and is kidnapped by human traffickers, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. Don't dare to delay more, Zhong Qing hurriedly said goodbye to Hua Wusheng, got in the car and rushed home, she wanted to call He Changyuan as soon as possible, he is the honorary shareholder of Da Yuan, he should have the right to speak, ask him to ask Du Jiu, there will always be Wanchun's whereabouts.

She came and went for two hours, and Yu was already waiting at home. After Bo Ol and Jin Li finished the phone call, they immediately rushed back to the Fengqiao Mansion, and at this moment, they were stopped and interrogated by Li Lanfeng, who had just returned from the outside office, and carefully told Wanchun what happened before and after his disappearance.

Li Lanfeng didn't expect that something would happen to Wanchun, he listened intently, and asked Bo Yu for a long time: "Did you receive a call from home about Wanchun's news?" If it's a kidnapper, they always have to contact us and talk about the conditions. ”

Both Bernol and Jin Li shook their heads, and Yu sat in the living room for a long time, except for Bourol's phone, he didn't hear anyone else call. The room was silent, everyone had their own thoughts, the hour hand on the wall ticked forward as if nothing had happened, and as time went on, an atmosphere of anxiety and unease enveloped the room.

Yu couldn't help but pat the armrest of the sofa and said, "Go, call Ru Lin, ask him to throw away the matter of the yamen, and go back to the house quickly." I will ask him to call out all the soldiers in his hand, and search them for me one by one until I find them. - If I know who bullied Nannan, the Li family will spare him, and our Jinxi Yu family will not spare him! ”

She threw out such a sentence loudly, Cuizhi was ordered by Zhongqing, originally asking her to listen carefully to his wife's instructions, this time she saw that the Yu family was obviously in chaos, she was a girl who came out of the marriage, and she couldn't persuade her, so she was busy running over and pulling the plug to Tan Rulin's yamen to call. Li Lanfeng suddenly spoke out to stop her and said: "Wait, this matter can't be so impatient, and we have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Think long-term?" Yu snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "My lord, you have to think clearly, we can afford to wait, but can the kidnappers afford to wait?" When you're done with the long-term plan, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back. When she was in a hurry, she was always more and more polite to Li Lanfeng, which was a habit she had developed since the time of the second miss of the Yu family in Jinxi, as if she had threatened others.

However, after all, Li Lanfeng has been married to her for so many years, and he has already thoroughly understood her young lady's temperament, and as soon as he heard her words, he immediately explained: "Madam, you haven't understood what I mean -- I mean, this matter can't be rushed, except for the previous time I came to Shanghai with you, this is only the second time I have come back, it is impossible to have a grudge with others, I am afraid that only some of our own people know her." I think there are probably three situations in her disappearance like this: first, maybe she is outstandingly dressed, young and ignorant, and was coaxed by people on the road; Second, if he was really coaxed away, then that person must not know Wanchun's true identity, let's go to find it with such fanfare, but instead startle the snake, if he is scared and tears up Wanchun's ticket, wouldn't he do a bad thing with good intentions? Third, we can also speculate that the person who kidnapped Wanchun knew her, and knew that she was the fourth lady of the Li family, so as to blackmail us, so at least we could guarantee that Wanchun would be safe and unharmed before they contacted us. Therefore, even if you call Ru Lin back immediately, madam, you can't just say that the soldiers will search from house to house, so that people can hear that she has suffered criticism, and that she will gossip a few words about her innocence, and how will she go out to meet people when she returns home in the future? "He was very clear and very organized.

Yu Shi also knew that he was too anxious, but he didn't want to stop there, and he still asked with confidence: "So, if the kidnappers are really kidnapped, will we just stare and wait?" ”

Bo Alcohol and Jin Li were originally listening to what was worth discussing, but at this time, Li Lanfeng and his wife couldn't talk about one place, and they were secretly anxious in their hearts. Thanks to Jin Li's alertness, as soon as she heard that there was a kidnapper, she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, I know who to find out the news." Du Jiuye of the Great Paradise is our Shanghai leader, there is no big brother on the road who is not under his control, if there is really someone who is not long-eyed and tied up Sister Wan, I just need to ask him to know a thing or two. When I catch that person, see if I don't gouge out his eyeballs, so that he has eyes and doesn't know Tarzan. ”

She said quickly, Yu Shi and Bo Ol they still understand well, that Cuizhi has been with Zhongqing in Shanghai for a few years, and Du Jiu's name has long been like thunder, and when he heard it, he was busy saying: "This idea is good!" Miss Cousin, call and ask, he is the only one here who can ask. ”

Jin Li nodded, then hurriedly sat next to Yu's side, pulled out the latch with one hand, picked up the microphone and dialed the number to Shanghai Grand Paradise.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, it was not Du Jiu himself, it was a strange man's voice, asking her in a low voice What was the matter. Jin Li said: "I'll talk to the ninth master, you give him the phone quickly, and tell him that the lady of the chief office's department has something important to ask him." ”

The man on the other end was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the voice in the microphone, it was a little girl, thinking that it was Du Jiu's trouble, and he smiled and said to her after a while: "He is not here today, I will sit for him for a day." If there is anything important, you will tell me the same. (To be continued.) )
