As the drums sounded, there were more and more people in the hall downstairs, but there were no actors on the stage, and there were still several gong and drum troupes beating gongs and drums.

Here, Zhu Muyun is still popularizing common sense to Geng Chaozhong: "Don't be a small one, you have to call it a humble position!" There are many sects in the theater garden, don't make trouble, if you don't get it right, you will provoke people who can't be provoked. Also, don't just show the guy, once you take out the gun, in case of an exchange of fire, the first person to hit the other party is the one with the gun. ”

Geng Chaozhong nodded frequently, indeed, he really didn't know much about these ways before, and this time Zhu Muyun really reminded himself. It seems that after a combination of grace and power, Zhu Muyun really began to cultivate Geng Chaozhong as a confidant.

At this time, the noise downstairs was getting louder and louder, all kinds of greeting guests, selling melon seeds, fruits and cigarettes, and businessmen and celebrities surrounded by bodyguards, all sat down, upstairs upstairs, Geng Chaozhong looked at the table clock in the corner, there were still 5 minutes and five o'clock.

Then the guys who served the box began to serve the dishes at a running price, what Dongpo meat, vinegared elbows, spicy fried clams (gala), cold kelp, and the special fried golden cicada in Shandong in summer, commonly known as the cicada chrysalis of "throttle monkey". There are all kinds of cold and hot mountains and seas, and Geng Chaozhong is drooling can be seen, but Boss Zhu has not moved his chopsticks, Geng Chaozhong can only swallow saliva violently while pretending to watch people beat the drum.

Zhu Muyun was secretly amused, picked up chopsticks and knocked on the table, pointed to the dishes and said, "Eat when you're hungry, don't die to save face and suffer crimes, tell you that there are no outsiders." ”

Geng Chaozhong smiled awkwardly, but his hands were not idle, he picked up the chopsticks and stretched out directly to Dongpo meat - this was the first big meal after his rebirth, it was almost more than two months, when he fled to Wowotou, when he arrived in Xinshengtai, it was just steamed buns and pickles, and now he can eat a few meals of cabbage at the police station, and occasionally a little pork star. Now that he saw so much meat, Geng Chaozhong couldn't bear it anymore.

The actor over there had already begun to act on stage, babbling and singing, but for Geng Chaozhong, who had seen such high-end goods as televisions, it naturally did not constitute any attraction, and his energy was still focused on the meals in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, followed by silence, but after a while, there was a "whoosh", and the noise was several times louder than just now, and even Boss Zhu, who was eating and drinking wine next to him, stood up and looked downstairs.

Geng Chaozhong was also half-full at this time, raised his eyes and looked down, a circle of people surrounded the door, and a long-faced man of less than forty years old wearing a robe stood in the center of the circle, arching his hands around.

"Zhang Haogu! Why did he come to Baihuaju? Hasn't he always been active on the big stage of Pingdu Road? Zhu Muyun next to him muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Who is Zhang Haogu?" Geng Chaozhong was a little curious.

I saw that after greeting a few words with the people who came up, Zhang Guxian began to greet the VIPs on the second and third floors with his fists, and Zhu Muyun also immediately stood up, bent over and clenched his fists with his hands over his head, this is a standard junior salute.

The long-faced man Zhang Haogu also politely replied in the direction of Zhu Muyun, but he was nearly 20 meters away and did not speak. In the end, Zhu Muyun slowly sat down and began to explain to Geng Chaozhong.

This Zhang Haogu is a native of Jimo, developed in Shanghai in the early years, and only returned to Qingdao in 1926, I don't know why, at that time, one of the famous "Eight Tiger Brothers" of the Qingdao Green Gang, Wang Zilu, who has never accepted apprentices, actually introduced Zhang Haogu to the Jiabai Gang "big" character Ding Shousan "filial ancestor" (as an apprentice).

But because Ding Shousan was not there at that time, the matter of "filial piety" was represented by one of his apprentices, and Zhang Haogu only entered the 22nd generation of "Tong" character class and went to "Xiaoxiang". Later, Ding Shousan learned that when Zhang Haogu was in Shanghai, he had worshipped the famous Qinggang boss Du Yuesheng as his teacher, and immediately asked him to officially recognize his teacher "Shang Daxiang". At this time, Zhang Haogu jumped up in the Qing Gang and became the second generation disciple second only to Ding Shousan.

This is nothing, this guy is exquisite and long-sleeved and good at dancing, and when the Nanjing Nationalist Government took over Qingdao in 1929, some local forces did not obey the government's management, and Zhang Haogu turned around and became a "lobbyist" in the middle to help the Nationalist Government settle in smoothly. In return, with the support of the government, he opened a newspaper at No. 2 Feicheng Road, called "Civilian Daily", which became one of the three major newspapers in the island city.

In other words, this guy has both a gang background, a government background, and the identity of a "newspaper man" in the cultural world, and he is now a hot figure in the island city.

"It's amazing, but no matter what, boss, you can give him a junior ceremony, just forget it, you can't do a junior ceremony! What a fall! Geng Chaozhong said nonchalantly.

"You know a fart, I am a third-generation disciple in the Qing Gang, of course I have to perform the junior ceremony, otherwise I will break the rules, how will I mix in the Tao in the future!" Zhu Muyun was furious.

"Huh?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned again. I didn't expect Inspector Zhu to be a member of the Green Gang, but it's not surprising to think about it, Jiang Zhongzheng and other Kuomintang members also started from the Green Gang, which can be regarded as a Blue Party tradition.

"Then, am I counted as a fourth-generation disciple?" Geng Chaozhong looked at Zhu Muyun with a cute face.

"You?" Zhu Muyun sneered, "You are also a disciple?" You don't even belong to the stream, you can be regarded as a low-level disciple! ”

Well, after a long time, I can only be regarded as a low-level person in Washington, and it's really sad to think about it. It seems that he really has a long way to go, and he has a long way to go.

"Okay, when Zhang Haogu comes up in a while, you have to call the sixth master, don't make trouble for me again, otherwise I will go back to the family to serve!" Zhu Muyun began to teach Geng Chaozhong a lesson with a straight face.

"Yes, do as you are told." Geng Chaozhong nodded again and again, isn't he out of the stream! Why did you start using family law?

After sitting down again, Zhu Muyun's mind was obviously not about watching the play and eating, but looking out from time to time, as if he wanted to know which private room this good old man had gone to. Geng Chaozhong saw this situation and naturally couldn't eat anymore, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and went out to investigate.

As soon as he went out, he happened to see Zhang Haogu leading a few entourages upstairs, Geng Chaozhong bowed his head and made a gesture, calling him "Sixth Master". Looking up, there was a monkey statue with a good ancient face, a pair of triangular eyes under a pair of figure-eight eyebrows, thick upper lips and thin lower lips, with a bit of fierce and treacherous face. However, his expression was quite approachable, and he returned the courtesy and asked, "Where are you?" ”

"I am a subordinate of Inspector Zhu on Sifang Road, Inspector Zhu asked me to come and see which private room the sixth master is going to, so I can pay a visit in a while." Geng Chaozhong replied.

"No need, I'll go in and find him directly, you lead the way in front!"
