Chapter 14: The Conflict Begins (I wish friends a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival)

Although the confrontation with Huang Jinrong was somewhat unexpected because of the advance, the new ideas and new methods still showed their power against the traditional and outdated gangs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Abao is just a ruffian who often mingles in casinos and is known as the "Four Things" ruffian who "eats and fights to death". The behavior is similar to that of Tianjin's bastards, relying on rogue hemp to take a head from the casino.

Long Xingtang found him through roundabout relationships and asked him to pretend to be a member of the Green Gang, only saying that he was so mixed up in the French Concession. In this case, even if something happens, it will not be able to be traced to Xingyitang or Longxingtang.

And Cao Axing, the original theater old garden, has already made a sum of money and returned to his hometown in Hangzhou with his family to run another business. Grateful for Xingyitang's generosity, he sincerely stated that his home in Hangzhou was the foothold of Xingyitang's brothers, and he also promised to act as the eyes and ears of Xingyitang.

For Chen Wenqiang, spending money on the opera garden is nothing, so as not to chill the brothers in the hall, knowing that Xingyi Hall is enough to rely on; Second, to win the battle with Jinrong, this money is just a small investment, and the income will be several times and dozens of times.

is generous and does not take money too seriously, which is also one of Chen Wenqiang's personality changes after rebirth. If you have it, you will invest in the industry, and it will be added to the capital account book of Longxingtang; If you have it, you can spend it where you think it is worthwhile, except for leaving a house and a deposit for Xiaoxi and Xiaozhi, Chen Wenqiang hardly saves any private money.

Of course, the creation of various industries can be regarded as Chen Wenqiang's net worth, and his generosity and cheerfulness have indeed brought him a good reputation in the gang.

Despite this, the renovation of Heungyi Hall has been carried out continuously and firmly. The quality is still good, and those with few bad deeds continue to enter Longxingtang and get better care and help; those who are idle and have a strong hooligan habit are gradually alienated; The gang rules are also becoming more and more stringent, and they have become a powerful tool for cleaning and transformation.

Compared with the caution of the old gangs, Chen Wenqiang's investment and support for the Chinese trade union in Shanghai are greater. Those poor and bullied laborers do not join Longxingtang, but they also have rules and regulations to follow. At the same time, the Chinese trade union in Shanghai has its own mouthpiece, the "Justice Newsletter", employs a barrister as its legal adviser, and has the backing of Long Xingtang as a force, so it is more able to uphold justice and protect the rights and interests of Chinese laborers, and it is more like a modern organization, which also places more hope on Chen Wenqiang.

In order to make the Chinese trade unions in Shanghai more influential and appealing, it is very necessary to open some industries to provide jobs for the poor. What kind of work is low-tech, you can do it with it, and the first thing to count is rickshaws in Shanghai. However, if you want to run a rickshaw business, you will inevitably have to deal with officials and patrols, and avoid the trouble and extortion of prying and copying.

The patrol system of the Chinese Territory has begun to be infiltrated by Longxingtang, and the key to the public concession has also been opened, but only the French Concession has not yet begun. In this confrontation with Huang Jinrong, it is a way to kill him directly, but if it can be subdued, it will be equivalent to opening up the relationship between the French Concession, which is not only more advantageous to operate rickshaws, but also more convenient to carry out other activities.

Of course, this is just a plan, just an imagination, and how far things will go, but it is not something that can be done by imagination alone. And to adopt such a plan, Chen Wenqiang also has a hard time, after all, it is easy to kill a Huang Jinrong, but it is not easy to replace his own people.

But no matter what, fanning the yin wind, lighting the ghost fire, and the battle with Huang Jinrong was launched in such a relatively hidden way.

The "foul" Chen Sanlin was abandoned on the garbage dump, as well as the letter left by Zhang Abao, in Huang Jinrong's view, is undoubtedly the revenge of the Green Gang against him. Although the Green Gang is very powerful, it is full of mountains and shapes like scattered sand. And in the French Concession, it is not difficult to take it all by yourself and defeat one or two small gangs.

With such self-confidence, the close man was killed, and Huang Jinrong immediately used his black and white power to start investigating and retaliating.

Under the jumping of chickens and dogs, almost all the industries operated by the various forces of the Youth Gang in the French Concession were affected and affected. Brightly, there are patrols to inspect and question, and secretly there are Huang Jinrong's protégés who threaten to question. Teahouses, restaurants, hotels, brothels, smoke rooms and other places were not allowed to live in peace, and even the youth gang bosses living in the French Concession were harassed.

Not only that, Huang Jinrong also begged his French boss to bring the official document of the French patrol room, and contacted the public concession patrol house and the Shanghai County Yamen, asking for assistance in solving the case and arresting Zhang Abao.

It's a pity that after tossing for a few days, not only Zhang Abao couldn't find a trace, but he didn't even find out which old man Zhang Abao worshipped and which gang he belonged to. But Huang Jinrong and his subordinates firmly believe that this is not Zhang Abao's personal doing, there must be gang forces planning the action behind the scenes, because judging from the traces, the killing of Chen Sanlin was done by many people, and it left the mark of the Green Gang.

How could Huang Jinrong give up, he felt that it was not enough, and those green gangs were perfunctory to him, so he couldn't find out Zhang Abao's roots and traces. Regardless of other boundaries for the time being, in this French Concession, he has the means. As a result, the Green Gang figures in the French Concession were unlucky and were constantly called by patrols for questioning. Huang Jinrong even let out cruel words, and if Zhang Abao couldn't be found, he wanted them to look good.

It's just that Huang Jinrong didn't expect that under his pressure, the revenge would come quickly and ruthlessly, and his cronies and protégés Jin Jiuling and Zeng Jiuru had an accident again. Jin Jiuling was promoted by him to investigate the Chinese Capture Detective, who served in the patrol room of Xiaodongmen, and was also the most effective in tracking down the case, but now he disappeared overnight; Zeng Jiuru, one of the bullies of the Sixteen Shop Pier, died in the dark alley with three knives and six holes, and the word "disrespectful" was burned with incense on his arm.

Disrespect, one of the ten major laws of the Green Gang, that is, disrespect for the elders. In this way, it makes sense. Because although Huang Jinrong calls himself the Green Gang, he is a son-in-law, and he has no seniority. Obviously, it is the investigation and arrest in the past few days, especially the harsh treatment of several Qinggang bosses, that has attracted the Qinggang's counterattack and retaliation.

Just one disappeared without a trace, and the other died conspicuously, why should they be treated differently? In Huang Jinrong's mind, Jin Jiuling is an official body, a patrol and eye of the French, and the disappearance is less affected than the murder. In other words, the opponent is still jealous, jealous of his position in the French Concession, and the power of patrolling the house.

With such a judgment, coupled with the accumulated anger, Huang Jinrong began to fight back more aggressively. He used the power in his hands to arrest and arrest the premises of the Green Gang more frequently and forcefully, and not only did the operation of these establishments almost come to a standstill, but some of the Green Gang figures were arrested and imprisoned in the patrol room.
