Chapter 10 The Establishment of the Hanlong Society
Li Jue named He Dachang, the rich businessman who he thought had done the most bad things and was the richest.
He Dachang is one of the three major salt merchants in Donghu County, along with two grain shops, a pawnshop, a restaurant, and three merchant ships.
The reason why Li Jue said that he was the worst was because he often suppressed Dafuku's father, and he once saw with his own eyes that He Dachang slapped Dafuku's father twice because of the dock incident. Their group of sailors and foot strength hired by Daifuku's father were also beaten severely by the thugs he brought.
He Dachang has three sons, the eldest son died of illness not long after he was born, and the second son, He Wenyao, who is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, donated a county to serve in Zhongxiang County, Anlu Prefecture. The third son, He Zhiyao, is 24 years old this year and learns to do business with He Dachang.
"If you dare to hit my brother, you will take his house under the knife." Li Jing said with a wave of his fist.
To ensure the success of the kidnapping, he came up with the way his troops would fight when they underwent counterterrorism training: the first step was to identify the target.
The second step is to determine the route of the target's activity, which is not very difficult, but it is difficult for him and Li Jue to find a suitable place to start, and they must use the local snake in Donghu County.
At this time, Li Jing thought of Zhang Zhuang, the guy who mistook himself for Wenquxing, should be able to help.
Thinking of this, he wanted to go to Zhang Zhuang to come over, but after thinking about it, he might lose his value if he went to invite him in person, so he asked Li Jue: "Do you know Zhang Zhuang?" ”
Li Jue nodded, "Yes, he is the sixth shopkeeper of Jinfeng Restaurant." ”
"You help the eldest brother call him over."
Li Jue was stunned for a moment, although Zhang Zhuang was only a small role in the Baiyi Nunnery, but in Li Jue's opinion, there were a few errand runners under his hands, even if he was a big man, it was not something that he, a boy who had not yet matured, could be moved.
He looked at Li Jing suspiciously, "Big brother, where can I call Zhang Zhuang, it is not cost-effective to be beaten by his subordinates when the time comes." ”
Li Jing waved his hand, "Don't worry, he won't do anything to you, and he will definitely come with you obediently." ”
Li Jue walked out of the house suspiciously, turned out of the alley, came to the door of Jinfeng Restaurant, looked at the gate of the magnificent Jinfeng Sprinkle house, and suddenly hesitated.
At this moment, Zhang Zhuang happened to walk out of the gate, and caught a glimpse of Li Jue who was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Isn't this the second master of the Li family, want to come in and play two?" ”
Li Jue shook his head and said coldly, "My eldest brother wants to see you." ”
Speaking of Li Jing, Zhang Zhuang's scalp was numb, and after he was punched by Li Jing that day, he suspected that Li Jing was possessed by Wenquxing. Later, he told his brothers about it. Those brothers laughed at him, saying that if Li Jing was a Wenqu star, he would not win the champion and become a high-ranking county and mansion lord, how could he stay in the broken alley and eat pasty vegetables.
Zhang Zhuang felt that his brother was reasonable, and originally wanted to go to Li Jing to find a face, but when he recalled that day, he saw Li Jing's strange and sharp eyes, and he was a little stunned, so he planned to observe for a few days.
After a few days of observation, I didn't find anything special about Li Jing, I wanted to find a few ruffians to teach Li Jing a lesson today, but I didn't expect to be preempted by the two dogs who got up early, and the result surprised him, according to the ruffians who escaped, Li Jing turned into a ghost, and cut off the meat on the two dogs one by one and ate it.
After the artistic processing of those ruffians, before noon, Li Jing's name spread in the area of Baiyi'an. Zhang Zhuang changed from doubt to belief for a while.
As soon as Li Jue said this, Zhang Zhuang subconsciously trembled, arched his hand towards Li Jue and said, "I don't know what happened to Master Jing looking for the little one?" ”
When Li Jue spoke, his right foot took a step back, although his eldest brother was now different from the previous nerd who only read Confucius and Mencius, but he did not expect his eldest brother to say a word to make a headsome character like Zhang Zhuang obedient, if Zhang Zhuang called someone to beat him, he could quickly turn around and escape.
However, to his surprise, Zhang Zhuang hesitated for a while, and then readily agreed: "Since Master Jing wants to see the little one, there is no reason why the little one should not go." ”
Bringing Zhang Zhuang home, Li Jue's eyes changed when he looked at Li Jing, as if the eldest brother in front of him was an omnipotent power.
"The little one asked Jing Ye to say goodbye, I don't know what happened to Jing Ye looking for the little one?" Zhang Zhuang saw Li Jing again, and found that Li Jing's eyes became sharper, he was a little scared, and he spoke more respectfully.
Li Jing smiled and pulled Zhang Zhuang to the side of the bed and sat down, "The cold house is shabby, and I have wronged Master Zhang." ”
As he spoke, he casually copied out a piece of paper full of words from the table and handed it to Zhang Zhuang.
Zhang Zhuang's body trembled, but he heard that Li Jing forced Ergouzi to write an IOU of 1,000 taels of silver. Although this kind of IOU without the government's guarantee has no legal effect, the common people can recognize it.
"If Master Jing is short of money to spend, there are still three or five taels of silver in the small family, and Master Jing can take it. The small one is just a small person watching the scene at Jinfeng Restaurant, and the small amount of silver is a thousand taels that he can't afford to sell his sons and daughters. ”
Li Jing heard the meaning of his words, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, this is not an IOU, just a document that allows you to join the company. ”
Zhang Zhuang heard that it was not a measure, and he was much more relieved. At that time, there were a lot of people who formed associations privately, and he didn't care, only when Li Jing wanted to form an association to collect the protection fees of those who joined the society, as for Li Jing giving him money, he only regarded it as Li Jing's polite words.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhuang happily pressed his handprint, "Master Jing, does our club have a name?" ”
"Of course it's famous, and it's guaranteed to surprise you."
Li Jing's words aroused Zhang Zhuang's interest, and he couldn't help asking: "Master Jing, don't sell Guanzi, what is it called?" ”
"Hanryukai!"
Hearing this name, Zhang Zhuang was so frightened that he sat up from the bed, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
Although Zhang Zhuang doesn't know two big characters, he is mixed in the road after all, and he still has knowledge. Since Sun Jiagan's forgery case, Qianlong has greatly promoted the literary prison, and the local civil and military officials have been promoted to defeat by engaging in the literary prison, and the local ruffians have taken advantage of this east wind to extort money everywhere. For a while, no one dared to mention those taboo words. And the dragon character that Li Jing said is a big taboo, and when it is combined with the word 'Han', it is a great taboo, and if it is not done well, it will cause a big disaster of killing the head and destroying the family.
"Master Jing, this and this, this name is a big taboo, let's change another one. If it is known by the people in the yamen, it will be handled as a major case of rebellion and disobedience. Zhang Zhuang was frightened and stammered a little when he spoke.
"I'm afraid of a bird, as long as we don't say it, who knows!" Li Jing replied indifferently.
When Zhang Zhuang heard Li Jing's tone, it seemed that he wanted to open Jingzhong Mountain and fight against the imperial court. The muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he trembled and said: "Master Jing is domineering, there are old and young people in the small family, so I can't accompany Master Jing to do something big." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Jing to reply, turned around and walked to the door.
"It's written in black and white, you have pressed your handprints, can you run?"
Before Zhang Zhuang walked out of the door, Li Jing said coldly.
Zhang Zhuang was so frightened that his legs weakened, turned around and knelt in front of Li Jing and begged: "Master Jing, give the little one a way to live." ”
Li Jing walked up to him, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't say it so ugly, if you follow Jing Ye, keep your head on your head, and follow Jing Ye to eat and drink spicy food in the future, if you don't want to follow Jing Ye,"
Speaking of this, his tone became gloomy, "You know that I am the heavenly machine of Wenqu Xing, and now I know the secret of my formation of the Hanlong Society, you think about it, Master Jing, I will let you go!" ”
Zhang Zhuanggang's body stood firmly, and when he heard this, he knelt down in fright, "Master Jing, the little one is going to do it with you, it's going to be with you." ”
Li Jing was overjoyed, put his hands on his shoulders, and lifted him up, "This is a good brother, we will all be our own people in the future." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jue, only to see that he was looking at himself blankly, and said in his heart, Could it be that this cheap brother was shocked by the domineering he just revealed?
"Li Jue, what are you doing there, I haven't seen you Brother Zhuang."
Li Jue has already listened to Li Jing's wild words, and he doesn't feel anything about what he just said, besides, he is a fourteen-year-old young man, and his experience is limited after all, so he is not afraid of Li Jing's establishment of a club called 'Hanlong', but feels very excited, in the future, his eldest brother will be the president, so isn't he the president's younger brother?
However, what surprised him was Zhang Zhuang's reaction, and Zhang Zhuang's performance could be seen by a fool, which was extremely frightened. He was also a little scared, but after thinking about it, the eldest brother was going to take him to do the slump, which was originally a job to do with his head, and he was afraid of a bird.
At this time, when he heard the eldest brother calling him, he answered, walked to Zhang Zhuang, made a salute, and called 'Brother Zhuang'. ’
Before Zhang Zhuang could return the gift, Li Jing pulled Zhang Zhuang and said: "Our Hanlong Club belongs to the entrepreneurial stage, and there are only me, you and my younger brother at present." However, I believe that with our continuous development and growth, we will definitely become a well-known community in the Sichuan and Chu areas. ”
Zhang Zhuang was like an echo worm, Li Jing said a word, and he nodded.
"At present, our community is extremely short of money to grow its power, so I am going to kidnap He Dachang's third son, He Zhiyao, and ask him for some money to spend."
Zhang Zhuang, who was still nodding his head, suddenly heard the words 'kidnapping He Dachang's third son', his face turned green with fright, and he scolded in his heart, what kind of sin did my mother do in her previous life, and I met such a living evil star who can do everything.
"I can't help it, he is a person with official status, he will take revenge if he has revenge, we moved his son, he found out, and I don't know where he died."
Li Jing had brainwashed Li Jue just now, and after saying so many words just now, his mouth was a little cramped, and he didn't have the heart to brainwash Zhang Zhuang again, so he said simply and rudely: "If you don't do it, I will hand over the deed paper for your entry into the Han Dragon Club to the Yamen, and you will die." If you do, He Dachang may not be able to find out. You are a smart person, which way to go, you can do it yourself. ”
Zhang Zhuang's face turned blue and red for a while, and he struggled in his heart for a while, and finally said hard: "Jing Ye is really a hero, I will sell my life to Jing Ye." ”
Li Jing was overjoyed, "This is a good brother, Master Jing, I don't treat my brother badly." ”
As he spoke, he gave Zhang Zhuang a task to find out where He Zhiyao had recently been active within two days.
This matter is not difficult, anyway, he has already boarded the thief ship, and Zhang Zhuang simply took the initiative to help find a remote Tibetan place.
Li Jing nodded noncommittally, and then sent Zhang Zhuang out.
