Chapter 0708: Breaking a Thousand [3]
Hua Feng followed them out to the outside of the old house that combined Chinese and Western styles, and immediately felt that the air outside was much fresher than the inside of the old house just now. However, when the cold wind blew outside, except for Hua Feng, the rest of the people were shivering from the cold, even though they were wearing thick coats. After seeing Hua Feng come out, Xu Qianyan went over and hugged Hua Feng's arm tightly, looking at Xu Qianyan's face that was red from the cold, Hua Feng hurriedly pulled her into his arms and warmed her. Of course, now Xu Qianyan is no longer afraid of them laughing, in her heart, there is only infinite sweetness. Stepping on the small stone path under his feet, he followed the elders and Xu Zhaoyun towards a very new-looking western-style building. Hua Feng didn't know what news Xu Zhaoyun was going to announce, and now he could only follow behind him. And when Hua Feng followed them to the reception room inside the western-style building, he saw many men making noise inside, and when they saw Xu Zhaoyun and the five elders coming in, they quieted down a little. However, the air inside seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Boss, elders." The men stood up and bowed their heads and asked. Hua Feng, who was behind Xu Zhaoyun, although he was not in front, he could see their expressions very clearly.
"Everyone is a brother of the Little Knife Society, if I don't come again, you will have a quarrel, really when your wings are full? Don't you put me in your eyes? Xu Zhaoyun patted a table and said.
"Smack." The sound of the table rang out in the reception room, and even the cup of hot tea on the table was emptied, steaming hot on the table and the floor. Hua Feng looked at those men and found that these thirty or so men had scars on their faces and arms, but they were more or less. At the back table in the reception room, stood two middle-aged men wearing gold-rimmed glasses. And after Xu Zhaoyun became angry, the Great Elder's expression was still the same as before, and it seemed that there was no change, and he almost looked like he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted. As for the four elders, the cigar-smokers and the pipe-smokers seemed to be completely ignorant of Xu Zhaoyun's angry expression. This is the elder, Hua Feng felt strange, if according to the meaning of the Elder Council of the Little Knife Society, it was just used to supervise the boss's abuse of power and assist the boss, and now looking at the expressions of these elders, Hua Feng really doesn't know, how did Xu Zhaoyun become the boss for so many years? One of his own bosses is exerting his power on it, and those elders are like watching a play? Will this boss's prestige be able to make all the gang boys obey?
"Boss, they are all white-haired, they are too much, since now even the protection fee has crossed the line, and now the businessmen in the district have come to complain that we have collected double protection fees. Bosses and elders, you must be the master for us! One of them stood up, and a scar on the corner of his mouth as he spoke looked like a crawling centipede, and even a small piece was missing from the corner of his mouth, as if it were leaking air, and it didn't sound very clear about every word. And after he finished speaking, he pointed to a man with white hair on the other side and said.
"Boss, there was no real dividing line for the Knife Society, who knew that side was leaking their mouths? And it's still in the middle, and we don't think it's on their side. So, who says that leaky mouths can be collected, why can't we? Are there thousands of brothers waiting to eat? Do you think that thousands of knives will starve to death? The white-haired man stepped forward and roared.
"White hair, first of all, I warn you, you call me an alias, you just don't respect me. And you're ridiculous, isn't it just that you only have a thousand brothers, don't we have any? What's more, the protection fee for that site has always been collected by us? When is it said that there is no dividing line? The leaky mouth also jumped out and roared.
。。。
"Enough!" When the two parties were getting more and more noisy, Xu Zhaoyun slapped the table again and said. When the table that Xu Zhaoyun slapped was scattered on the floor of the reception room because of the excessive vibration, the two parties quieted down. Hua Feng knew that Xu Zhaoyun had already used force just now, and it seemed that the Xu family had always been the boss of the Little Knife Society, which must have something to do with the kung fu passed down from generation to generation of the Xu family.
Of course, Hua Feng also guessed the identities of these men, they are the leaders of the various districts of the Shanghai Knife Club under the Little Knife Club, that is, the actual bosses of the various districts of the Little Knife Club. Among the 17 districts and one island county in Shanghai, in the first few years of reform and opening up to the new century, it can be said that after the founding of New China, after experiencing decline, the Xiaodao Society developed for 30 years and flourished again. But now, the forces of the Little Knife Society on Chongming Island were driven out by an unknown gang force three years ago, and the death of the chairman and vice president of the Little Knife Society on Chongming Island has not yet been ascertained, let alone avenging the other party. And Pudong New Area, since the Pudong Gang with the help of the Chen family, also drove away the Little Knife Branch that was originally in Pudong, and now the Little Knife Club in Xuhui District was also driven away by an inexplicable force four years ago, and now they just know that the other party is the Little Snake Gang. Therefore, in addition to the Chongming Island forces, Pudong District forces, and Xuhui forces in Shanghai, except for the underworld branches of foreign countries and Hong Kong and Taiwan, they basically belong to the world of the Little Knife Society. However, now that I see the internal and external strife of the Little Knife Society, it is not as prosperous as in previous years. Although he is still a Shanghai boss on the surface, if those foreign forces cooperate with the Pudong Gang, it can be said that the current knife will not be able to fight with the other party at all. And now the power of the Little Knife Society is obviously divided into three factions, one faction is still loyal to the Xu family, that is, loyal to Xu Zhaoyun, the other faction is loyal to the four elders, and the remaining faction, that is, the middle faction, is loyal to the Great Elder. If you divide the power of the three factions into high and low, the four elders have the highest power, followed by those who are loyal to the Xu family, and the rest are loyal to the Great Elder. And until now, the forces loyal to the Great Elder did not know what the Great Elder planned in the end. Therefore, when the two factions were arguing just now, among the more than 30 men, six or seven men were still smiling and gloating at the two factions.
Although on the surface, at the time when the two factions were fighting openly and secretly, now as the centrists, their interests are undoubtedly the highest, because they are both in the middle of the two factions. However, if one of them wins, it is likely that they will end up with the worst result.
"Alas!" Hua Feng, who was behind Xu Zhaoyun, shook his head and sighed at these so-called helm handles. Hua Feng knew that the Little Knife Club was also a big Shanghai family like the Wang family, which had developed for so many years, and there was no reform and innovation, or no iron-blooded change, they were getting farther and farther away from the original intention of establishing a gang, or it was determined according to human nature. Human beings are greedy by nature, after they have obtained certain benefits, if there is nothing to suppress them, they will soon find that the interests that belong to them can no longer satisfy them, so they who are greedy often belong to the interests of others will do whatever it takes to snatch the past. Undoubtedly, the infighting of the Knife Club will soon develop to this point, or it has already developed. It's just that I haven't seen it for the time being in the Mingzhong.
Of course, what made Hua Feng feel ridiculous the most was that since everyone was the force of the Little Knife Society, and they all said that they were the brothers of the Little Knife Society, why did they rush back and forth, why didn't they take back the power of Chongming Island, the power of Pudong, and even the power of Xuhui that they had lost?
Timid? Afraid? No strength?
Obviously, these are not reasons, but the phenomenon that the Little Knife Society has decayed, just like in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the original system and form of the Little Knife Society are no longer suitable. Only by re-exchanging the original forces with iron and fists can the Knife Society be able to return to its previous prosperity, or even more prosperous than before. And now they have to fight for even that, the protection fee, not to mention the interests of other parties.
"Internal matters, we will deal with them during the meeting, and now I have important things to tell you when I come to you. This is Xiaoyan's fiancé Xiaobo, and he is also one of the contenders for the ninth-generation boss. Xu Zhaoyun let go of a position, and Hua Feng, who was behind Xu Zhaoyun, immediately appeared in front of everyone. For Hua Feng, they are both familiar and unfamiliar. The strangeness is because they saw Hua Feng for the first time, and they are familiar because Hua Feng was on the street last night, and they are too familiar. A man who slaughtered all sides in less than an hour and was known as the butcher of the road, they really didn't dare to imagine?
However, when they saw Hua Feng's figure now, especially when they looked at Hua Feng's eyes, many people who dared to look directly into Xu Zhaoyun's eyes bowed their heads after taking a look at Hua Feng.
It can be said that when they knew that Hua Feng was the son-in-law of the Xu family, the two factions were surprised and delighted. As for Xu Wang being another competitor for the boss of the ninth-generation knife club, there is no need for Xu Zhaoyun to say it, they all know it, but they didn't expect that now Xu Zhaoyun has recognized the legitimacy of Xu Wang's competition for the next generation of bosses?
This surprised Xu Wang! The four elders were amazed! As the leaders of the various districts that support the four elders, they are equally surprised! However, the facts are in front of them. Of course, they didn't know it, and Xu Zhaoyun made such a decision entirely because of the inspiration given to him by a phone call from Hua Feng last night. The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to mention now, so Xu Zhaoyun knew that he couldn't push Xu Wang and them too quickly!
