Li Guolou was relieved, and Zhao Yao of Yipintang arrived, making everyone stop talking nonsense. Zhao Yao came with the two eldest brothers on the left and right, Wang Yougong and Li Guolou had a fight, and the two cherished each other, and the other was a stranger named Liu Huan, who was the original head of the account office of Yipintang, who was originally the third child, and is still the third child.

Wu Defu wanted to deal with Yipintang because Yipintang did not give protection money to the yamen in the past, and the original Yipintang gang leader Cheng Cheng relied on someone in the internal affairs government and did not take him seriously. Now, through the cooperation between the inside and the outside, the territory of Yipintang is once again controlled by Wu Defu. But there is also a trouble, that is, it is against the gang of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Internal Affairs Office is divided into two parts, one is in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace, and the other is in charge of the Manchurian life of the Beijing Division, which is called the Zongren Mansion, which is also controlled by the great eunuch in the palace, and the two pieces are not under each other's control. The palace was financially independent and separate from the treasury, that is, the royal treasury. Chen Kuiyuan, the great eunuch who manages the life of the Manchurians in Beijing, stretched out his hand to the security of Beijing, this kind of cross-border behavior, of course, the criminal department is very indignant, and now letting Yipintang change the door and worship the criminal department is tantamount to turning his face with the great eunuch Chen Kuiyuan.

The burden of the Zongren Mansion to manage the Manchu people is very heavy, and the Manchu people have the privilege of giving birth to the Manchurians, and they have a monthly amount of silver to take every month, and it is no problem to live the life of ordinary people. The state has to subsidize these Manchus every year to buy three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, which is still a matter on the surface, and secretly the Zongren Mansion will also use the privilege to install Manchu people in each yamen, which is equivalent to a rationing system, and if you don't work, you have to live these Manchurians alive. (That is, the priority of work as later generations.) ）

The good jobs and fat errands of the Qing Empire were all done by Manchurians, just like the guards who took care of the treasury and silver were all Manchurians.

Wu Defu did not directly take over the territory of Yipintang, but let Yipintang exist, which has his own reasons. After the ceremony, everyone was seated as the guest of honor, and Wu Defu said: "How is Gang Master Zhao, are there any difficulties?" ”

Zhao Yao glanced at everyone awkwardly, and said: "There is no problem here in Tianqiao, that is, there are a few casinos and brothels that say that they were originally from the Green Gang, and now they want to make it clear to me that in our Yipintang territory, the money will not be taken care of by us." Someone from the Internal Affairs Office sent us directly, but I was afraid that the great eunuch Chen Kuiyuan would play yin, and send people to make trouble. ”

Wu Defu said: "I have sent more people to your territory, full of people to make trouble, beat me hard, and there are people in the court to stand up." Those eight lambs, the ancestors have long wanted to teach them a lesson, and they are not afraid to make trouble in the palace. ”

The three eldest brothers of Yipintang looked at each other happily, what they were most worried about was the national policy, if the above favored the Manchus, they would not dare to fight against the privileged Manchus. Wu Defu had clearly told them that the state's policy would not favor the Manchus, and that the Manchus who were ruffians and hooligans would lose the face of their ancestors, and they would be caught in the yamen and beaten correctly.

Wu Defu looked around and said, "What do you think of the Green Gang's trick?" ”

Yao said wrongly: "It is clear that you don't give face to the Zhao gang leader, the money is just a pretense, there is no younger brother to raise, who will listen to the order at that time." Otherwise, those restaurants won't even pay the money to Gang Leader Zhao for a long time. ”

Everyone said that it was reasonable, and the Qinggang was powerful, so they liked to play tricks.

Liu Huan looked at Li Guolou obscenely and said: "Brother Yao is reasonable, we also think so, but now that our Yipintang has just been reorganized, we have directly turned against the Qing Gang, I'm afraid it is not strong enough." ”

Li Guolou sat on the side, hating to smash Liu Huan's nose in a circle, showing that he was a person who liked to go to the court, and looking at his expression was really as disgusting as it was.

Li Guolou couldn't help but said, "What's the movement in the smoking gun restaurant?" He knew that one-third of the cigarette gun restaurants on the site of Yipintang were the fields of Yu Hanbing of the Elders' Association, and he was still quite concerned about Yu Hanbing's movements.

Zhao Yao raised his head and smiled: "Oh, I forgot to say it, Yu Hanbing, the owner of the Lepiaopiao Smoke House, said that he was relieved and wanted to sell us his six smoke houses on our territory cheaply, and I also want to ask the two eldest brothers, do you want to accept this time?" I'm afraid that if we move, the other gangs will be red and will come to find us. ”

Wu Defu smiled and said, "Gang Master Zhao, you just accept it, this is a big gift from the third brother to you, and it is also counted as some settlement expenses for you." ”

Zhao Yao and the others hurriedly clasped their fists and said in unison: "Thank you, third brother." ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "You're welcome, my own brother." "I feel awkward in my heart, and I still have my own brother! Killed other people's brothers, and now they open their eyes and tell nonsense, and people's lives are as cheap as vegetables. The gang changes a big brother, and immediately changes a way of living, what is the revenge for the brothers? There is nothing but mutual use and the exchange of monetary benefits.

Wu Defu gave Li Guolou enough face, turned his head sideways and asked, "Third brother, what do you say we should do about the actions of the Green Gang?" ”

Li Guolou glanced at Wang Wu and said: "It depends on when the militia group will be trained, with our current people, it is okay to fight in one go, and if we come to a protracted war, I am afraid that they will all be deserters." The first step is to forbear. ”

Wang Yougong stood up all of a sudden, and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother and second brother can't do it, and the subordinates will be even more unconvinced, and there are already younger brothers who have turned to other places with their people." Gang Master Zhao doesn't say it, I must say it, Yipintang has reached the point of life and death. ”

Wu Defu's anger rose from his heart, Zhao Yao came to report good news but not bad news, such a big thing has only been exposed by Wang Yougong now. But now that Zhao Yao is just sitting in the position of the leader of the Shangpintang, it is understandable that people are not convinced.

Wu Defu suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the depressed Zhao Yao, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Gang Master Zhao, we just started to cooperate, there is a long run-in period, don't you know like this in the future?" ”

Zhao Yao said: "It's the eldest brother and the second brother, I just want to talk about it later, I don't want to hide a few big brothers, and I can't hide this kind of thing." ”

Yao Cuo said angrily: "Which are the eight kings, I went to sweep their field first." ”

Wu Defu said: "Big brother is absolutely not good, now sweeping the field will make Gang Leader Zhao even more ugly, and the people of Yipintang will look down on Gang Leader Zhao." Either come hard and kill them all, or talk about brotherhood, let them kneel in front of the Zhao gang leader, and raise the words of the Zhao gang leader, which is the key. ”

Li Guolou glanced at Zhao Yao and said: "In my opinion, the strength of the Zhao Gang Leader is not enough, eldest brother and second brother, since we can't interfere, let's come secretly and let Wang Wu bring some people to help the Zhao Gang Leader, first stabilize the territory of the Zhao Gang Master, if there are other gangs who dare to come to make trouble, we will not hesitate to intervene." ”

Liu Huan looked at Li Guolou with a smile and said: "Well, it's better for the third brother to say that the method is good, I support the third brother's proposition, the third brother can be civil and martial, and I admire it so much." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Steward Liu, don't flatter me, we are all our own family, don't be polite, just say whatever you want." ”

Liu Huan said in a long voice: "A hero is a young man, the third brother is so young, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future." ”

Wu Defu poured cold water and said: "I see it difficult, the third brother likes to offend people too much, and he already has a home that is difficult to return to, so it's not bad to live in a pile of people." ”

If you are an official, you don't have to smile and don't express your stance easily, and the tumbler has nothing to do with yourself, and you do copywriting until the middle of the night, Li Guolou does not have these characteristics.

Li Guolou accompanied everyone to smirk together, his teeth were a little sore when he laughed, and his temper broke out again and again, how many people did he offend? Being promoted to be a bodhisattva is really not his character. He is still suitable for rushing to the front, and reckless and bloody is the real him.

Yao mistakenly said: "Wang Wu, can you pull out a team of people now?" ”

Wang Wuteng stood up, straightened his chest and said, "Big brother, there is no problem, let me go out." Gang Master Zhao's territory, we are very familiar with it, this piece of fat, we can't give anything to outsiders, and the brothers also want to live a good life. ”

Yao Cuo nodded and said, "Okay!" Gang Master Zhao, I handed over Wang Wu to you, you have to clean up those anti-bone boys. The more ruthless you do, the people of the Green Gang will be soft, leave room for people now, and people will climb on your head in the future. ”

Everyone looked at Yao Cuo with admiration, this is the demeanor of the eldest brother, how can he wait for the opponent to make the first move, and come directly to the end, and kill the opponent with one move.

Zhao Yao's face was red with excitement, how many years has he been waiting for this opportunity, the secret stake of the official mansion is hidden in Yipintang, he didn't expect that one day he would be the boss of Yipintang, the soldier died for his confidant, he rose from the ground, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't worry, big brother, second brother, third brother, I will definitely do a good job, clean up those anti-bones, in less than a month, I promise to make Yipintang look new." ”

Wang Yougong and Liu Huan were a little unbearable, and some of the people who clamored to go elsewhere have not really turned their backs, but they just don't want to recognize Zhao Yao as their eldest brother. But in order to break into the name, Zhao Yao will definitely kill the killer, this is a person who even killed his eldest brother Cheng Li, and he is definitely not a soft-hearted person.

Li Guolou looked at Wang Wu, it was he who dragged Wang Wu to this thief ship, killing people to gain fame, and Wang Wu would also become an ambitious person. Li Guolou's heart is involved, he can't control other people's desires and ambitions, and one day Wang Wu will be independent. With so many ambitious people together, constantly shuffling and reorganizing, how many people will become enemies? Now drink and hug together, but for the sake of profit, these people will eventually go their separate ways, and without forever friends, how many friends will he see fall in front of him?

Li Guolou saw that Wu Defu was looking at him, and the two smiled slightly, each making their own calculations.

Yao Yong walked in and invited everyone to the dining room of the inner courtyard to take a seat, Yao Cuo and Wu Defu invited Zhao Yao to walk in the middle and treated Zhao Yao very affectionately.

Wang Yougong walked to Li Guolou's side and said, "Little Lizi, we didn't tell the winner last time, this time we have to fight the high and low at the banquet, you can't run away this time." ”

Li Guolou blinked and stared at Wang Yougong and said, "Ah, are you still not convinced?" ”

Wang Yougong patted his waist and said, "Of course, Xiao Lizi, we were careless last time and didn't bring a gun, and when I meet you in the future, I will bring a gun to you whatever I say." ”

Li Guolou said: "I know you are a sharpshooter, but my speed is fast, and if you really fight, you still have to lose." ”

Yao Cuo said angrily: "You two are not allowed to say such hurtful words, we are few now, you bring guns to drink, I won't say anything, there will be more people in the future, and you are not allowed to bring guns into the door when you have meetings and drink." This rule should be written into the gang rules. ”

Wu Defu said: "Seeing that the chief can't bring weapons, this makes sense, and he will automatically disarm his weapons when he enters the door in the future." You know? ”

Everyone responded with a bang, and they all agreed with this proposition, drinking and making mistakes, if any brother was drunk and shot indiscriminately, the joke would be bigger. What's more, if people's hearts change, how many lives will be killed by a gun!
