Chapter 624: Between Life and Death
Seven days later, in the evening, when Cheng Zhichao and the other three were about to go out to eat something and have fun again, suddenly Wang Jianping answered a phone call, and said to Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong as if he had taken a stimulant: "Don't go to eat, go to Brother Guo's immediately, there is a good thing." β
Cheng Zhichao's heart moved: "Brother Guo is going to open a fragrant hall?" β
"Smart, I just received a call from the beautiful snake, today Brother Guo and Sister Ting just took the time to open a special incense hall and take the two of you in. Hehe, you two are really lucky, it's not once or twice that Brother Guo has opened a fragrant hall here to accept people, but Brother Guo personally presided over it, only this time. β
Cheng Zhichao smiled: "Is there anything else to say about the opening of the incense hall?" What should I be aware of? β
"Don't ask, change your clothes immediately, I'll tell you in detail on the way."
At this time, it can be seen that Wang Jianping is an important person around Wang Ruiguo, and he has been tirelessly explaining the procedures and some precautions of the so-called opening incense hall to Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong along the way.
The so-called Kaixiangtang is an old tradition of Chinese gangs, and modern underworld gangs, such as the Qinghong Gang, the Little Knife Club, and the Brother Club, have all disappeared in the land of China. On the contrary, there are still some gangs with a relatively long heritage in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the official has given them a specific name. Originally, this particular title was a branch of the "Heaven and Earth Society", an organization that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the historical mission of the Heaven and Earth Society came to an end. However, some of the organizational structures handed down by the Heaven and Earth Society have been passed down, and the resurrection of the dead has become the main framework of Chinese organized crime.
Wang Ruiguo's organization actually has nothing to do with the "Heaven and Earth Society", you must know that the "Heaven and Earth Society" is also about blood, and you can't just organize a group of people to call yourself a member of the "Heaven and Earth Society", and people won't recognize you at all. A more famous example is the "Big Circle Gang" that crisscrossed Hong Kong and Macao. Although it has a great reputation and is a very large organization, it has never been recognized as a member of the "Heaven and Earth Society". Strictly speaking, Wang Ruiguo's organization should belong to a branch of the "Big Circle Gang".
However, after all, the Chinese "Heaven and Earth Society" is much more famous than the "Big Circle Gang", so Wang Ruiguo deliberately moved some things of the triad over in the early days of establishing the organization. "Kaixiangtang" is one of them. According to Wang Jianping, opening the incense hall is a very important event, and people with heads and faces in the organization will generally be present at this time, as long as they are not really unable to get out. But Wang Ruiguo rarely showed up, and at most sent Wang Yiting as a representative, which means something. And even if Wang Yiting came, it was not specifically to accept the younger brother, but more to communicate with those heads and brains in the organization.
Cheng Zhichao also understands this. After all, he is the leading boss, and of course he will not show up in person for such a trivial matter as accepting a younger brother.
Among some of the materials that Cheng Zhichao saw, the formal triad organization was in the shape of a pyramid, with the so-called "489 Kowloon Head" at the top, and "416 White Feather Fan" and "426 Red Stick" at the bottom. As for why there are a series of numbers in front of the name, Cheng Zhichao also knows something, such as "four-eight-nine-dragon head". It seems that the sum of these numbers is twenty-one, and twenty-one can be written in ancient times, and "twenty-one" is the common prefix of the word "Hong". As for the rest. It's all based on math. For example, the "four-one-six" in the position of a military advisor is because four times sixteen is sixty-four, and the secret combination is eighty-eight, sixty-four hexagrams, and so on. Because it was too complicated, Cheng Zhichao also took it at a glance at the time, just understanding a general idea, and did not study it too deeply.
Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't arrived yet, Cheng Zhichao poured out all the things he knew. I want Wang Jianping to explain in detail.
Wang Jianping laughed after hearing this: "Brother, you saw these things from novels, right?" Those authors pick up information from Baidu all day long, and they can't be taken seriously. The ones you see are all old calendars, and now they are not that complicated at all. However, before joining the club, it is necessary to go through a series of investigations. Otherwise, we might get an undercover agent to come to us at some point. β
Cheng Zhichao was taken aback and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Wang Jianping.
Wang Jianping said with a smile: "You don't need to worry so much, first, you are the person brought by Lao Meng, and you escaped from the bitter kiln, you can be trusted." Second, Brother Guo also checked your information through domestic relations, and should be sure that you are not undercover. In addition, Brother Guo values you more now, otherwise, he would not have opened the incense hall to admit you so soon. Luck, luck. After finishing speaking, there was a look of envy.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Zhichao was a little embarrassed, with a series of modesty.
"You don't have to be modest, you know your own affairs, like me, no matter how mixed you are, it's like this, you're different. Young, brainy, and able to fight. I believe that after joining the club, I will follow Brother Guo to run a few big deals, and I will be able to get ahead soon. In terms of the level you just mentioned, you can at least get a 'red stick'. Do you know what the 'Red Stick' does? β
"You know, the gold medal fighter, just like Brother Hao Nan in "Crazy Boy" before he took the position."
"Correct. Before Brother Hao Nan took the throne, he could only be regarded as a 'red stick' at most, and after he took the throne, he immediately became the master of the hall. Brother, do a good job, I'm optimistic about you. After taking the position, don't forget the relationship between our brothers who have lived together for so long. β
"It's too early to take the position, I just want to have a place to settle down now, and I can live first." Cheng Zhichao sighed, "If you join the meeting, even if you have a home here." β
Wang Jianping smiled indifferently.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Cheng Zhichao used to watch movies, he also saw some scenes of gangs opening incense halls to accept younger brothers, basically a dark room, no lights in the house, only the two small red lights in front of Guan Erye on the Buddhist shrine were lit, and there would be some bloody and violent scenes from time to time, making opening an incense hall like acting in a ghost movie.
"I don't know what Wang Ruiguo's incense hall looks like." After the conversation ended, Cheng Zhichao sat in the car, and there was some faint anticipation in his heart. "His mother's, who spent months in prison, ran away like a rabbit and went abroad. turned into a drug trafficking boss who opened the incense hall and accepted him as a younger brother. Lao Tzu's soldier is worth it. β
Regarding the matter of opening the incense hall to join the club, Meng Qinglong was not looking forward to it too much. He knew very well in his heart that the reason why Wang Ruiguo was willing to take him in was entirely because of the incense he had accumulated in China over the years. Even if Wang Ruiguo accepted him, he would not arrange too important positions for him. Send people under the fence, just stutter, don't force big fish, big meat, swallow abalone and sea cucumber. In this regard, Meng Qinglong still thinks about it. However, the little brother Liu Sichen he met in prison was very likely to get ahead, which made him, the leading brother, feel more gratified.
Suddenly, the three people in the car, except for Wang Jianping, the other two were all thinking about each other, and the atmosphere cooled down.
It didn't take long. Wang Jianping drove Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong to the outside of Wang Ruiguo's villa, honked the horn twice, and shook the headlights twice, and the gate slowly opened to both sides.
After getting off the bus, Cheng Zhichao found that there were already more than a dozen people standing outside the villa, although the number was not much. But compared with the people in Boss Ying's mansion, the momentum is a little worse. And looking at the level of these people, it is not too high. Because when they saw Wang Jianping, they were all very respectful. After living with Wang Jianping for so long, Cheng Zhichao really didn't think that Wang Jianping had a high status in Wang Ruiguo's organization.
When I opened the door and entered the house, I saw the two five-step snakes under Wang Yiting's hands standing there one on the left and one on the right, as if they were waiting for them. Cheng Zhichao only looked at them carefully at this time, and it was really black and white, but the difference was not too big. Of course, the white one is not as white as the extreme, and the black one is not too black, if you look at these two women separately, you should not have too deep an impression of the skin color of these two people, only when these two people stand together. With contrast, it looks obvious.
As soon as the white snake named Peng Jialu saw them enter the house, he squeezed his eyebrows to the center of his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Why did you come now after waiting for so long?" β
People are Wang Yiting's cronies, Wang Jianping didn't dare to offend, and after respectfully calling "Sister Lu", he carefully explained, he didn't dare to say that because he was talking while driving, so for the sake of safety, the speed was not too fast, but he focused on the traffic jam on the road.
Fortunately, people didn't take it too seriously, but just glanced at him: "Sister Ting and Brother Guo are here, just follow me." β
After saying that, the two women turned around together and walked forward with them. What made Cheng Zhichao feel rare was that the movements of these two people turned around were exactly the same, and they were uniform, as if they were one person, which made Young Master Cheng, who had been training in the recruit company for several months, feel extremely embarrassed.
The two beautiful snakes led the three people directly to the top floor of the villa, and met several groups of people along the way, the number of them was about seven or eight people, who seemed to be standing there casually, but everyone's hand was stretched out into their pockets, looking around with vigilant eyes. Needless to say, Cheng Zhichao can also see that these people are security personnel. It seems that Wang Ruiguo has also made certain preparations, knowing that he personally presided over the opening of the incense hall today, and basically all the leaders of the organization who can come. If there is an accident at this time, the entire organization will be served by others, so the vigilance has been specially strengthened.
There were not too many rooms on the top floor, but Peng Jialu and Zheng Danqing did not lead them into any of the rooms, but led them to the rooftop. Only then did Cheng Zhichao know that there was a small room on the roof of this villa. Looking at the area of this room from the outside, it is not too big, at most it is more than 30 square meters, and it stands there alone like an elevator machine room.
There were also a few people standing outside the house, and some people scattered around Heaven to keep the whole room airtight. Cheng Zhichao swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It should be here." β
Peng Jialu stopped outside the house and said to Wang Jianping and Meng Qinglong, "You two stay first, and Liu Sichen will go in with us." β
As soon as these words came out, even Wang Jianping was surprised: "Sister Lu, Brother Guo said that I would take the two of them into the club, why did you let Xiao Liu go in first?" What should Lao Meng do? β
"Brother Guo arranges it, you can do it, ask so much for what." Peng Jialu snorted coldly, glared at him, ignored Meng Qinglong at all, and revealed his identity to the people outside the house. The men reached out and opened the door.
"Let's go inside." Peng Jialu glanced at Cheng Zhichao and said with a smile.
"Oh." Cheng Zhichao was also confused, and he didn't know why, but an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. But when it came to the end, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to retreat. Not to mention the two beautiful snakes beside him who don't know how to do it, even if they can restrain them in the shortest time. There are still so many big men on the rooftop who are staring at him, how can he be able to beat him with that kind of ghostly body like lightning with a smile on the rooftop? As long as one person pulls out a gun and gives himself a moment, I'm afraid that today next year will be the death day of his Young Master Cheng. Cheng Zhichao has never felt that he is really like those main solutions in the movie, he can still kill the enemy alive after being shot more than a dozen times.
After answering for a while, he went into the house with a hard head.
The light in the room is really not very good, but the light on the rooftop is even worse, so that Cheng Zhichao even has a "bright" feeling the moment he enters the house.
The furnishings in the house are also very simple, with only one Buddhist shrine. Just a few chairs. The Buddha shrine is of course dedicated to the second brother of Guan Bo Yuntian. Since experiencing the god-making movement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Second Brother Guan finally became a saint and became the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness admired by thousands of people.
Although the furnishings are simple, there are many people inside, except for the brothers and sisters Wang Ruiguo and Wang Yiting. There are also a few muscles that are up, and leopard eyes are ringed. Someone who looks even more murderous than Rambo. Of course, the Wang brothers and sisters were sitting, but the people were standing.
As soon as Cheng Zhichao entered the house, before he could open his mouth to greet the Wang brothers and sisters, he saw Wang Ruiguo's face sinking like water, and he laughed cruelly: "Boy." You're not a little daring. β
Cheng Zhichao was shocked: "Brother Guo, you ......"
Wang Ruiguo sat there and didn't move, but those Rambos didn't give him a chance to speak, and before he Cheng Zhichao finished speaking, they had already pounced together. Several pairs of eyes flashed with wolf-like light, and their faces were even more murderous.
Cheng Zhi was shocked, a most terrible thought flashed in his mind, and as soon as his instinctive shoulders moved, he wanted to rush out of the house in a bloody way. As for how to deal with those people on the rooftop and in the villa after going out, that's another matter.
But he only moved his shoulder slightly, and before he could make a move, his knee weakened, and then a sharp pain came over violently. Cheng Zhichao snorted involuntarily and knelt on the ground, and just after such a delay, those few Rambos had already rushed over and firmly controlled him. If it was just one person, Cheng Zhichao might still be able to use ruthless moves to fight back against the other party in order to get out, but the other party was several people, and his hands and feet were firmly controlled, even if he moved, it was impossible.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Cheng Zhichao felt that something was not going well. But in this case, the eldest young master still has the leisure to curse in his stomach: "Fuck, Peng Jialu, this stinky girl, is really ruthless enough, a dog that really bites people can't bark." Damn, ignore her, it's worthy of a five-step snake, and there are really two hits. β
Although he admired Peng Jialu in his heart, he had a shocked and angry expression on his face: "Brother Guo, what do you mean by this?" β
Wang Ruiguo had a distressed expression on his face: "What do you mean?" What do you mean by asking? I said, comrade policeman, should I ask you about this? You said that you don't stay in the police station, why did you come to me after suffering so many crimes from afar? β
Cheng Zhichao's head "buzzed", only to feel that his mouth was dry, and his brain became blank in an instant: "Damn, did you leak the bottom?" β
Wang Ruiguo's face was full of anger, he walked over and grabbed Cheng Zhichao's collar, laughed twice, grabbed his neck, and shouted: "Say, a few accomplices came with you this time, what are their positions?" β
The strength he used in his hands was quite large, and the murderous aura on his face was not fake, but after Cheng Zhichao listened to his words, he had a bottom in his heart: "Damn, this old bastard is really cunning, under the banner of accepting me into the club, he brought Lao Tzu to this ghost place to test me." Fortunately, he didn't know the bottom of Master Ben, and thought I was a policeman. Fortunately, Young Master Ben is not a policeman, and his psychological quality is good, if he is a policeman who is slightly worse in psychological quality, let him do this, maybe he will really show his feet. It seems that what the old comrades said is really good, there are bad people among the masses. I'll just say, after Lao Tzu came, his appearance has always been very good, how could he let him see through it? β
Now that he already knew that Wang Ruiguo deliberately performed this drama to deceive himself, and did not really see through his undercover identity, Cheng Zhichao was determined that his talent for acting was finally brought into full play. In less than a second, the expression on his face had gone through a super-shift of horror, stunned, and finally reached its peakβanger.
Wang Ruiguo didn't want to really strangle Cheng Zhichao to death, and after asking, the strength in his hand was slightly loosened, so that Cheng Zhichao could take a breath. But he didn't leave Cheng Zhichao's neck, as long as his expression was slightly wrong or he hesitated to answer, he would immediately kill the killer. Since becoming the eldest brother, he has successfully tried out two undercover police officers with this method of surprise attack, and he can be regarded as experienced. (To be continued......)
