Chapter 163: Hongmen to the Court
"I had a deal with him with you, and I guess you think I'm your boss behind the scenes. Arrange for me to meet with him, bring the guys and call a few more brothers, don't let Liu Jinshui take the nest. Also, this is the first time I have dealt with a social gang as a Hi Pin boss, and it is also the last. It's up to you to decide what to do with the future, don't come to me again. If you can't go down this road, then don't do it, no one will do anything to you. Chen Chumo said.
According to reliable sources, at 8 p.m., Liu Jinshui would go to a teahouse to meet people. Since he is unwilling to reply to the post, we will go straight to the dragon's lair to meet him for a while, Chu Mo, what do you think of this arrangement? The duck asked cautiously.
When Chen Chumo handed over the Hi Pin business to him, he vowed to make the Hi Pin business the first in the world, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to do it after only a month, and he really didn't have the face to say big things in front of Chen Chumo again!
Chen Chumo is still very familiar with Chinatown, and when he first came to the United States, he would go to Chinatown for a walk when he had nothing to do. is very familiar with the surrounding environment, so there is no need to worry about fighting with Liu Jinshui and not being able to find a way to escape.
Deep in a small alley in Chinatown, the teahouse is so secluded that it is difficult for pedestrians and tourists to notice such a place. As soon as the bastard of the guards reported to the inside, he stopped the ducks, and the guide A Fa only invited Chen Chumo in. The duck visited several times in vain, and Chen Chumo immediately opened the door as soon as he came, and Liu Jinshui wanted to see Chen Chumo's careful thoughts.
The teahouse has a total of three floors, blue bricks and green tiles, carved dragons and phoenixes, both the appearance and the inner room are Qing Dynasty style. Chen Chumo and Ah Fa entered a courtyard, the yard was not big, and there were many flowers and plants, and it could be seen that the owner of the teahouse was a leisurely and elegant person.
After entering, he found that the door he came in was a side door, and Chen Chumo felt a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that this was against the traditional Chinese hospitality. However, when I saw that the gate on the square side of the courtyard was locked, I was relieved to think that Liu Jinshui also entered the teahouse through the side door.
The door on the first floor of the teahouse was locked, and the lights in the room were bright, but it was very quiet, and it was obvious that there was no one in the house.
"The room on the first floor is usually empty, and it is a special place for old gentlemen to visit and rest. On the second floor is the tea house, which is responsible for the food and drink of visitors. The third floor is a room for young guests, but no one has lived in it for a long time. Ah Fa said as he walked.
Under the eaves of the teahouse is a one-meter-wide corridor, along the corridor to the side of the teahouse, I found that there are many photos hanging on the wall, most of them are black and white, except for a few color photos. Judging from the images of the photographs, these black and white photographs are many years old.
"These are all photos of guests who have visited us, and the exhibition hall of the temple cannot be placed, so it will be moved here for the time being. If Mr. Chen is interested, he can take a look after the main hall opens tomorrow. Seeing Chen Chumo slow down, Ah Fa introduced.
Well? This man looks familiar! Isn't it the one on TV, that, the Mr. Sun Zhongsan who fights the war? He has also been here, no wonder the downtown is so quiet, it turned out to be a place of interest!
Passing through the side porch and coming to the back of the teahouse, there is another garden, which is slightly smaller than the courtyard in the front yard, and the bonsai planted is indeed dense. The garden is a row of low houses with green tiles, and the side facing the teahouse is a flat and neat wall, without a window, which looks very mysterious.
"Toot, toot, toot... Honk! Ah Fa rhythmically knocked on the wooden door embedded in the middle of the wall.
"Squeak!" After a short while, a white-bearded old man in his 60s opened the door.
"Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Bai, the housekeeper of the teahouse." Ah Fa turned around and left after speaking, and did not enter the door with Chen Chumo.
Entering the door, it is a hall, the front door is empty, and there are many photos of people hanging in front of both sides and the corridor outside the teahouse, but the slight difference is that there is not a single color photo here.
"The wing room on the right is the reference room, and the wing room on the left is the exhibition hall of the temple fair. Every year, a lot of people come here for the conference, and the open space in front of it is reserved for the internal training. Behind the open space is our main hall, where Hall Master Liu, Hall Master Xie, and a few elders are waiting. Mr. Bai said softly. With that, he turned around and walked out, and closed the door again.
The sound of "gurgle" is very soft! The iron locks are all on, do you want to catch turtles in the urn, Liu Jinshui, you are too yin. Chen Chumo muttered in his heart.
The hall was not long, and he walked out in seven or eight steps. Through the open space, Chen Chumo saw a large plaque hanging in front of the hall in front of him, with gold characters on a red background, three big characters written on it, and six small characters in the lower right corner: 'Wuzhou Hongmen General Hall'.
It is such an imposing traditional cursive script, and it is difficult for a calligraphy master who has practiced for decades to write such words, and he doesn't know who wrote it, Chen Chumo sighed secretly in his heart.
There is a large long table in the innermost part of the hall, the table is full of tablets, and the incense and wine are lit with wax in front of it, which is the layout of a Chinese rural ancestral hall.
There were three people sitting on the big wooden chairs on both sides, looking at Chen Chu silently. Chen Chumo was a little surprised, among the six people in the hall, he didn't expect that in addition to Liu Jinshui, there was also an old acquaintance.
"Mr. Liu hasn't seen him for a long time, and he is getting younger and younger. Mr. Xie can meet you wherever he goes, fate! Chen Chumo hurriedly greeted him and shook hands with the two old acquaintances.
Mr. Xie is Xie Zhigui, the person who talked about Hong Kong Hesheng, he is really a narrow family, and he has hidden in the United States, and he can't imagine that he can meet this, Chen Chumo is very puzzled.
"Chu Mo, come, let me introduce you to the four elders of our Hongmen. This is the old man Huang Shengming, the speaker of the Hongmen General Hall! The three old acquaintances exchanged a few words, and Liu Jinshui introduced to a few white-headed old men beside him.
Huang Shengming, a tall and thin old man, is 75 years old this year, his ancestral home is from Fujian Province, he went to Taiwan from mainland China 60 years ago, and stayed in the United States with his father for less than a year. He then went to college in the United States, after which he stayed on to teach because of his excellent academic performance. At the age of 18, he entered Hongmen, but it was not until he retired that he took over the position of elder in Hongmen from his 92-year-old father, and after 10 years of contact with Hongmen affairs, he sat in the position of chief helmsman of Hongmen at the age of 70.
"This is Mr. Wu Ruhai, the person in charge of liaison between Hongmen General Hall and branches around the world." Liu Jinshui waited for Chen Chumo to shake hands with Old Man Huang and continued to introduce.
Wu Ruhai is a pot-bellied old man, a native of Chaoshan in Guangdong Province, who fled to the United States in the 60s. At the age of 70, his hair is black and shiny, his face is still ruddy, and he looks like a person who can eat and live a long life.
"This is Mr. Zheng Yutang, who is responsible for the sorting out of the personal information of Hongmen members and the evaluation of merit rewards and punishments, and is our judge." Liu Jinshui continued.
Zheng Yutang wore a pair of reading glasses, looking like an old pedant. 70 years old, his father is a Hakka in Guangdong Province, his mother is Malaysian, born in Thailand, after the surrender of Japan, the domestic war in China is not only the family moved to the United States.
"This is Mr. Cai Yongpeng, the law enforcement master of Hongmen, responsible for cleaning up the portal." Liu Jinshui continued.
Cai Yongpeng is very tall, the same size as Chen Chumo, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, he is 65 years old this year, but he looks like a sturdy middle-aged man. He is a native of Nanhai, Guangdong Province, born in a large family, due to the decline of his family, he crossed the ocean at the age of 20 and came to the United States alone.
"Boy, you're very fat, look at how capable you are!" When Cai Yongpeng shook hands with Chen Chumo, he held Chen Chumo's right hand with both hands.
Nima, this hand is too strong, this cliff is a master of ancient Chinese boxing! Chen Chumo was in pain, and immediately turned his hand to shake off Old Man Cai's vice.
"An outsider, breaking into my Hongmen to the court, not obediently surrendered, but still dare to resist, today my Lao Cai vows to abolish you." Cai Yongpeng yelled at Chen Chumo, waving his iron fist and smashing at Chen Chumo.
Damn, who broke into your Hongmen Hall, it was Liu Jinshui who invited me in, I want to settle accounts with him, what kind of ability is it to bully me as a teenager!?
Cai Yongpeng shot fast and ruthlessly, one moment the iron claw grabbed the yin, the other time the two fingers inserted the eyes, and the other time he punched and bombarded, making insidious and vicious moves, as if he really wanted to put the opponent to death. Chen Chumo had to face the battle carefully, and he couldn't pull away to explain more.
"Alright, stop!" Huang Shengming shouted to stop. The two played more than 20 moves, and neither of them took a big advantage.
"Boy, he is young and has good martial arts, and he has the potential to learn martial arts. Give me a few kowtows, and I'll let you go today! Cai Yongpeng jumped out of the fighting circle and yelled at Chen Chumo.
CNM, this old boy's hands are really strong, his stomach was punched by him, and his stomach was mixed, and he almost vomited out of dinner. Fortunately, the reaction was fast, and the food that was spit in my throat was swallowed back by me raw! Chen Chumo didn't feel disgusting at all, but was complacent about his wit.
But he shouldn't be much better, and I also got two sneak punches in the armpit, and his left hand should be weak at this time! Hahaha, hard qigong? Do you think that Nanquan is invincible, and you underestimate our Taoist Taiji.
"Don't try to fool me, old boy! You and I have no distinction between high and low martial arts, what qualifications do you have for me to kneel for you? Let me kneel down and win against me first. Chen Chumo replied loudly.
"I don't know how to lift, it's cheap for you to kneel..."Cai Yongpeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Chen Chumo's answer. Kung Fu is good, why is it that your brain is not good and you can't get on the road?
"I already have a master, and I will never worship him as a master without the consent of his old man. You cheap master, I think it's still reserved for those cheap disciples of you. Chen Chumo said.
Eight-faced and delicate people, this will not know Cai Yongpeng's intentions. The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart first, Chen Chumo decided to be angry with this reckless man.
"You, you... Look for death! Go to hell! Cai Yongpeng ignored the dissuasion of the master, and went to swing his fist at Chen Chumo again.
It's just in time, Old Man Cai is the force leader of Hongmen, I'll take him down first, and then knock the others down one by one, and see how you still catch turtles in my urn. Chen Chumo is very scheming, he was locked in the Hongmen Zhigong Court, he will not be arrested.
