Chapter 195: The Green Gang Casino
Ji Xiaohai is a big man in the Shanghai Youth Gang, according to his generation, he should still be Du Yuesheng's elder, and he is the same as Huang Jinrong. But Ji Xiaohai is stubborn in life, and he is unwilling to touch tobacco and soil all his life, let alone politics, and only guards those gambling stalls. Therefore, although he has a high rank in the Green Gang, his power is very average.
If Ji Xiaohai has no ambitions, it is really wronged him. It's not that Ji Xiaohai doesn't want to do these money-making transactions, it's just that his courage is smaller than others, and his hands are not as hard as others, so he can't fight.
A few years ago, a young man inadvertently broke into his field of vision. This young man has brains, morality, and more importantly, he has excellent skills, and when he fights, he can top more than a dozen.
Ji Xiaohai was very optimistic about this young man, and he thought that as long as he cultivated a little, this son would become a great thing.
Not long after, however, the young man left, saying that he wanted to return to avenge his brother-in-law. Jianghu people pay the most attention to this kind of righteousness, Ji Xiaohai has no reason to disagree with his decision, but just tells this young man to come back as soon as he finishes his work, Shanghai is indispensable to him.
It's a pity that this young man is gone.
This young man is Ye Tufei.
In the past few years, Ji Xiaohai has always been obsessed with Ye Tufei, once his subordinates are not doing well, he will unconsciously sigh and say that if Tufei is here, it will not be like this.
In the evening of this day, the largest gambling stall under Ji Xiaohai just opened and several Japanese ronins poured in.
Doing casino business, one-sided door to welcome visitors from all over the world, as long as there is money in the pocket and willing to gamble and lose, no matter where men, women and children are sacred, they are all guests, and they must be treated equally.
So, the guys at the casino still received these annoying ronins in a proper manner, as usual.
Who knows, these Japanese ronins did not come to the casino to gamble at all, they came to the casino to find fault and provoke.
After a fight, Ji Xiaohai's brothers relied on the numerical advantage to barely reach a draw with the Japanese ronin, and the Japanese ronin was unwilling and threatened to gather people to fight again in the evening.
Ji Xiaohai didn't think it was too serious when he first started this matter, after all, this was in the public concession, and the Japanese still had to be more restrained, if he really dared to come over at night, he only needed to call the patrol room.
However, the two events that happened immediately made Ji Xiaohai aware of the seriousness of the situation.
First, the people who patrol the house took the initiative to call him and told him that the backstage of these Japanese ronins was very hard, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Concession greeted him and asked the patrol house to deal with it in principle not to cause trouble to the Ministry of Industry Bureau.
The inspector who called explained to Ji Xiaohai: "What do you mean not to cause trouble to the Ministry of Industry? It's just to turn a blind eye, at most, when the fight is over, take the person to the patrol room, record a confession, and then release the person! ”
The patrol room is not strong, although Ji Xiaohai feels uncomfortable, but he is not too worried, after all, in Shanghai, the forces that dare not to give face to the Qinggang have not appeared.
At this time, Du Yuesheng, the original speaker of the Green Gang, had already gone to Hong Kong, and Ji Xiaohai could only turn to Huang Jinrong for help. But Huang Jinrong warned him to endure, the Japanese have a very hard table, and if they can, they won't provoke.
Only then did Ji Xiaohai realize that these Japanese ronins were not full of food and had nothing to do, but were instructed to do it deliberately.
A month ago, a Japanese man came to Ji Xiaohai's house and tried to persuade Ji Xiaohai to cooperate with the Japanese to open a big smoke house in the public concession. Ji Xiaohaikou said that he didn't want to smoke the industry, but he has always been itchy about tobacco that can make a lot of money, but if he wants to do things with the Japanese, it is beyond his bottom line. Therefore, Ji Xiaohai sternly rejected the Japanese.
It seems that the incident was not understood, and the Japanese obviously wanted to put pressure on Ji Xiaohai through the Japanese ronin to find fault and provoke, so as to force Ji Xiaohai to comply.
In the rivers and lakes, Ji Xiaohai's personality is weak, but being able to sit in his position in the Green Gang is by no means a soft egg. In fact, Ji Xiaohai is the kind of person with soft skin and flesh but super hard bones, and he will definitely not succumb to the obscenity of the Japanese.
Therefore, he ordered the casino to open as usual, and then secretly mobilized all the brothers who could be mobilized and prepared for battle.
When Ye Tufei walked into this casino with Xiao Zhonghe and Duguyu, Ji Xiaohai had just completed all the arrangements and was lying on the rocking chair in his office with his eyes closed.
Ji Xiaohai's brothers knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight, so they focused all their attention on the guests with Japanese characteristics, and most of them hid in the shadows. This is also the reason why Ye Tufei went around the casino several times before meeting an old brother.
Before the war, his own side suddenly encountered strong reinforcements, how could the brother not be excited? Therefore, he pulled Ye Tufei and brought Ye Tufei to Ji Xiaohai without saying anything.
It doesn't matter if Ji Xiaohai is pretending to be calm, or whether he is confident, in short, he was lying on the rocking chair and actually took a nap, when the brother reported to Ji Xiaohai with an extremely happy tone, Ji Xiaohai didn't react for a while.
"Mr. Ji, who do you see coming? It's Phineas! Phineas is back! ”
Ji Xiaohai was disturbed and dozed off, looking very depressed, and muttered when he sat up from the rocking chair: "Brother Fei? Which Phineas? ”
Ye Tufei took two steps forward and said with a smile: "It's Ye Tufei." ”
Seeing Ji Xiaohai shocked, he quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him carefully, the expression on his face changed from shock to joy to excitement: "Ye Tufei? It's really you! I'm not dreaming, am I? ”
Ye Tufei helped Ji Xiaohai up from the rocking chair with a smile and said, "Uncle Ji, why don't I pinch you and see if you feel pain?" ”
Ji Xiaohai said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are over thirty years old, why are you still so stubborn and make jokes about your Uncle Ji at every turn?" ”
Ye Tufei helped Ji Xiaohai sit on the sofa, then picked up Ji Xiaohai's pipe from the desk, filled it with tobacco, and handed it to Ji Xiaohai's hand.
Ji Xiaohai took the pipe, lit the fire handed over by Ye Tufei, took a puff of the cigarette, and sighed: "Xiaofei, I haven't seen you for a few years, you came to see Uncle Ji on the first day, Uncle Ji should have set up a banquet for you to wash the dust, but tonight ......"
Ye Tufei interrupted Ji Xiaohai with a smile and said, "Uncle Ji, Zheng Dayong told me just now, you, you are here tonight, drinking tea, smoking and reading the newspaper, I will solve the matter outside, and when it is over, you always invite me to supper, how about it?" ”
Ji Xiaohai almost staked his family foundation for tonight's battle, to say that he is not nervous and not worried about the result, it is pure nonsense, but when he is the boss, he has to be calm and calm when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, otherwise, how can the brothers under his hands have confidence?
However, now that there is Ye Tufei, it is different, Ji Xiaohai is really not nervous or worried, Ye Tufei's existence does not play a role in his super fighting ability, but more importantly, he can bring confidence to his brothers!
Ji Xiaohai, who was relieved, really did what Ye Tufei said, lying on his back on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Ye Tufei smiled and said hello to Ji Xiaohai: "Uncle Ji, that's right, okay, I'll go out, I'll talk to you when I'm done." ”
Just when Ye Tufei was about to go out, Ji Xiaohai suddenly admonished: "Xiaofei, let's be lighter later, don't cripple the Japanese, the Japanese also have fathers and mothers, cripple them, how sad those old Japanese people should be!" ”
Only in a relaxed mood can one say such words with a strong element of banter. Ye Tufei nodded with a smile and walked out of Ji Xiaohai's office.
In the casino, Duguyu's shirt was already soaked with sweat, and the chips in front of him were more than half of when he first came in, that is to say, it was almost an hour, and Duguyu's record was neither losing nor winning. On the other side, Xiao Zhonghe's face had returned to normal, because there were not many chips in front of him, and when the defeat was decided, he was calm.
Ye Tufei first said something in Duguyu's ear, Duguyu's gambling was in full swing, and when he heard Ye Tufei say that the Japanese ronin was going to fight, he immediately stared at him and asked around: "Where is it?" Dare to delay Lao Tzu to play cards without breaking his two legs! ”
Ye Tufei hurriedly reassured: "What are you anxious about?" Play cards first, these brutes are probably still on their way! ”
turned over and told Xiao Zhonghe, Xiao Zhonghe was happy when he heard it: "His grandmother's, tonight's brother has a pie back, how to bet and how to lose, if these bastards really dare to come, it will just make the brother dissipate the sulking of this body." ”
Ye Tufei patted Xiao Zhonghe's shoulder, picked up one of Xiao Zhonghe's chips casually, and threw it to the seven-point seat. As soon as the chips were decided, the dealer opened the bank, and the dealer sang: "One, two, four, seven points small!" ”
Xiao Zhonghe's eyes widened, as if he was looking at a stranger, and stared at Ye Tufei tightly.
Ye Tufei smiled, took back the chips he had won, and then bet a twenty-yuan chip on the twelve-point position. When the dealer shook the dice and was about to open the bank, Ye Tufei suddenly grabbed a handful of chips and slapped them on the seven-point small seat.
I only heard the dealer singing: "Two, two, three, seven o'clock small!" ”
This time, Xiao Zhonghe was completely shocked, he first looked at Ye Tufei blankly, and then suddenly grabbed Ye Tufei's arm and shouted: "Sixth Master, are you a human or a ghost?" Oh no, should you say that you are the god in the sky? ”
Ye Tufei shook off Xiao Zhonghe's hands on his arms, took back the chips he had won, and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble!" You go on, I'll look around and figure out that those Japanese ronins should be here too. ”
Where is Xiao Zhonghe willing to follow, he can't even take care of the chips, and he keeps begging behind Ye Tufei: "Sixth Master, you just open your grace and accept me as an apprentice?" ”
At this moment, the door of the casino was slammed open, and the two Green Gang brothers staggered a few steps back in, and then saw a large group of Japanese people dressed as ronins swaggering in.
