Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Snake of the Earth (Part II)

Xin Nan's grandfather Xin Zikai is also a senior in the Jintian antique shop, especially the good handwriting, quite famous in the domestic calligraphy industry, many businesses open when they like to ask him for words, and the popularity is very good.

Literati write, naturally embarrassed to talk about money, but people who ask for words will send a considerable amount of pen fee, which is also a convention, since childhood, Xinnan's family background is very good, and he has never worried about money.

After the death of Xinnan's parents, in order to let his grandson get a better education, Xin Zikai asked a friend in Beijing to send Xinnan to the junior high school attached to Beijing University, and usually only returned to Jintian City during holidays and summer vacations.

Therefore, although Xin Nan has been learning calligraphy and painting with his grandfather, he does not know much about his grandfather's business.

On the second day after the reopening of "Wen Bao Zhai", several young people who were angry broke into the store and explained the rules to Xinnan.

The general content of the rule is that if you want to open a shop in the antique street with peace of mind, you must pay them 2,000 yuan every month, otherwise the store will not want to open again.

Xinan has just graduated from college, and when he is young and vigorous, where is he willing to be threatened by these gangsters? Before he could finish a few sentences, an argument broke out between the two sides.

Xinnan's grandfather has a wide range of people on this street, and some shops have also received the favor of the old man.

They were all people on the street, and they knew each other, and when they were persuaded to do so, the gangsters dispersed, but when they left, they left behind the cruel words and did not pay for three days...... Smash the store!

Xinnan is not short of money, when his parents died in a car accident, the other party paid more than 300,000 yuan, plus his grandfather also left him more than 500,000 yuan after his death, and the protection fee of 2,000 yuan per month was not very stressful on him.

But Xin Nan's character is a little more serious, no matter how those neighbors persuade him, he just doesn't want to pay the money, he would rather sell the store out, and he is not willing to bow to those blackmail gangsters.

There is no shortage of familiar and face-saving people on the antique street, and at the moment someone handed the words to those who collected the protection fee, between the face of the middleman, the other party did not come to smash the store, but it was limited to Xinnan to move the store within a month, which is why Qin Feng saw the transfer of the store posted at the door.

"Damn, two thousand a month, is there a future for doing this?" After listening to Xin Nan's speech, Li Tianyuan's mouth opened wide in surprise.

In the past two days, he has been following Qin Feng on the antique street, and Li Tianyuan also knows a little about this place.

This antique street is nearly a kilometer long, in a circular shape, with shops on both sides, I am afraid that there are at least one or two hundred merchants, and if each family charges 2,000 yuan in protection fees, it will be 300,000 yuan a month.

Li Tianyuan, who originally thought that Qin Feng's layout had made 200,000 yuan, was a big spending, and the corners of his mouth were about to drool.

Thinking about his previous behavior of blackmailing elementary school students and earning twenty or thirty yuan a day, Li Tianyuan deeply realized the gap between himself and those people.

What do you mean by that? Haode doesn't learn, why do you want to learn this? ”

After hearing Li Tianyuan's blurted out words, Xin Nan's eyes suddenly felt a little wrong when he looked at him, and said: "I don't look like you are a good person, please go out, you are not welcome in my store......"

To say that Xin Nan really didn't wronged Li Tianyuan, he has a beard on his face, he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he has been fighting and blackmailing and doing bad things since he was a child, so he is indeed not a good person.

When Li Tianyuan heard the other party's words, he was also unhappy, and shouted: "Hey, what's so good about a good person? Haven't you heard that good people don't live long, and bad guys live for a thousand years? Lao Tzu is a bad person, what's wrong......"

Children born in the 70s and early 80s were more influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and in those films and televisions, good people mean being bullied.

Therefore, people as old as Li Tianyuan, especially some naughty and mischievous children, like to label themselves as a bad person, saying that he is a good person, which is tantamount to scolding, and Li Tianyuan is also one of such wonders.

"Yuanzi, shut up, go to the door and stay ......"

Qin Feng's eyes widened, interrupting Li Tianyuan's nonsense, and after driving him to the door, he said to Xin Nan with a wry smile: "Brother Xin, my brother has watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, in fact, he is not a bad person, don't blame him......"

"It's all such a big person, and I don't have a sense of right and wrong."

Xin Nan shook his head and said, "I think you're not bad, this store won't be open for a few days, you can take what you want, it's not particularly valuable anyway." ”

"Brother Xin, I don't want to ...... things" Qin Feng shook his head, pretending to be curious, and said: "I'm just curious, who is so powerful, he will drive you away when he says to drive you away, you won't call the police?" ”

"It's not surnamed Yuan, why didn't Jiefang shoot them all."

offended the head snake, and the "Wen Bao Zhai" in the past became deserted, and finally there was a person who spoke, Xin Nan suddenly poured beans into a bamboo tube and told the other party's origin.

Before the liberation, there was a flyover in the capital, and there was a Confucius Temple in Jinling, and the "three regardless" in Jintian were the paradise of the people in the rivers and lakes before the liberation, and the abyss of sin.

Before the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the prosperous area of Jintian City was in the Matou area, so there was a saying in the poems of the Qing Dynasty that "prosperity should be estimated in Yijie, and Gongnan Gongbei City is also good".

In the area behind the Hou family, teahouses, theaters, taverns, restaurants, bathhouses, and brothels were dense, and it was the amusement place of Jintian at that time, and it was called "selling gold pots".

After the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the prosperity of the Daguan River, Hou Jiahou, and outside the North Gate plummeted, and it was Dongxing-Market, which is a depression of more than 100 acres near this antique street, that is, flourished.

After a long time, this depression formed a bazaar, with those selling strong pills and fake medicines, selling snacks with "Zheluo" (leftovers from restaurants), shaving their heads and braiding their heads, pulling foreign tablets, setting up tea stalls, and so on.

Over time, this bazaar became bigger and bigger, and it became known as the southern market of Jintian, and there was also a name, which was called "Sanshi".

There are two theories about the origin of the name "three regardless", one is that "no one cares about mass graves (burying dead people casually), no one cares about fights and brawls, and no one cares about pit abduction and deception".

Another theory is that because this large depression is south of China's urban area and northwest of the French and Japanese concessions, the three countries have passed the buck to the cases that occurred in this concession, so it is called "three regardless".

Nanshi is not a big place, but it is an active place for three religions and nine streams, and "playing Ba people", which concentrates Tianjin's tea gardens, theaters, restaurants, hotels, shoes, hats, clothing, pastries, candies, big pipes and so on.

At the same time, it is also a place for Jianghu artists to "make files", such as martial arts training grounds, wrestling rings, strong pills, selling sheep intestines, bean juice and storytelling.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in a place like this, where there are extremely prosperous lights and red wine and green greenery, there are naturally the shadows of those military police, spies, and hooligans.

And in this "three regardless" area, Shili is the largest, and the most evil deeds are Yuan Huiwen, at that time, it was rumored that there was Du Yuesheng in the south and Yuan Huiwen in the north.

Yuan Huiwen's father, Yuan Laoxian, was a famous gangster, Yuan Laoxian had a bit of martial arts, and used a special shovel to gather more than ten brothers and nephews to form a hegemon in the Luzhuangzi area.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Brother Yuan Laoxian died one after another, and the Yuan family gradually declined, and Yuan Huiwen was rough by nature, did not study and did not seek progress, fought and brawled in the neighborhood all day long, wandering in the "three regardless" all day long, and later worshiped under the door of the Green Gang boss Bai Yunsheng.

At that time, on the Jintian Jianghu Road, Shili was the largest Bai Yunsheng.

Some people from the military, political, industrial, and artistic circles of Huijin Tian, such as Liu Jingshan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce during the fall period, Wang Haiming, the big bully of Mu Zhuangzi Tianqi Temple, and Liu Xiaowu, the emperor of Wuxian, were all Bai Yunsheng's apprentices.

In addition to worshiping Bai Yunsheng as a teacher to join the Green Gang, Yuan Huiwen recognized two godfathers in the early 30s, one was Xie Yutian, the commander of the warlord Li Jinglin's subordinates, and the other was Liu Shouyan, the captain of the Chinese arrest detective team in the Japanese concession, which increased Yuan Huiwen's arrogance.

Relying on these shili, Yuan Huiwen did all kinds of evil in Jintian City, opened a number of casinos, and sold tobacco and soil, causing countless people to die, and Yuan Huiwen also colluded with the Tufeiyuan Department to organize a "plainclothes team" in Tianjin.

In the second year after the liberation, Yuan Huiwen, a tycoon full of evil, failed to escape justice and was sentenced to death in 1950.

And the Yuan family in Xinnan's mouth is the descendants of Yuan Huiwen, and after more than 30 years in the past, Yuan Huiwen's grandson Yuan Bingqi began to make waves in Jintian City again.

Yuan Bingqi's age is not very old, this year is just forty, but since the early eighties, he has gathered a group of ruffians and hooligans, and used intimidation and smashing to kill him in the "three regardless" in the past, that is, now Chongren Palace.

Yuan Bingqi inherited the ferocious cunning of his grandfather Yuan Huiwen, nominally doing legitimate business, but secretly and actually controlled the underground society of Jintian City, and developed it into his tool for collecting money.

Not to mention anything else, just the monthly income of this antique street can reach hundreds of thousands, plus some logistics and freight business monopolized by Yuan Bingqi, he has already become a billionaire.

Xin Nan didn't know these things originally, but some uncles on the antique street were afraid that he would suffer a loss, so they told him this, and at this moment, all of them were poured to Qin Feng.
