Chapter 52: The Ghost Society
The cold wind could not disperse the terrifying clouds that hung over the Qing sky, and as February was approaching New Year's Day, revolutionaries in various localities suddenly launched a terrorist assassination campaign called "Operation February." On the first day of February, eleven Manchu nobles were killed, and at the same time, eight Han ministers, including Chong Hongjun, Chao Liang, Si Kouhua, Guanqiu Pukao, and Ge Yuhua, were assassinated.
It was nearly dusk, and it rained lightly in Shanghai, the largest metropolis in the Far East, and there was no one on the streets.
The cold wind was bleak, and the only dozens of street lights on Nanjing Road were all lit up. Armed with large knives in hand, the patrolmen patrolled the streets as if they were facing a great enemy. The whole of Shanghai was enveloped in a gloomy, bleak, tense and terrifying atmosphere.
Just this morning, the vice president of the Shanghai Ghost Shadow Society ordered the massacre of more than a dozen well-known businessmen in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, all of whom were slaughtered on charges of being revolutionaries.
The ghost, who had been silent for a long time, would stick out his terrifying fangs again. Now the entire Qing Dynasty wants to say who can act unscrupulously and without taboos, then only the Ghost Shadow Society.
After the terrorist actions of the revolutionaries began, the Ghost Shadow Society not only received strong support from Cixi, but even the consuls of those countries also vigorously supported the Ghost Shadow Society, and the Ghost Shadow Society has become a sharp blade in Cixi's hands, and no one dares to control it, invincible!
The Ghost Shadow Guild with Shang Fang's sword in hand became synonymous with demons, and that night, outside the headquarters of the Ghost Shadow Club on Haixia Flying Road, thousands of gangs holding torches and shouting slogans gathered, and the terrifying Ghost Shadow Guild flag hunted and danced wildly in the cold wind.
In the conference hall of the Ghost Society, dozens of large landowners and big capitalists dressed in satin brocade robes and jeweled felt hats were gathered. Now they have lost the swagger of the past, and they have become trembling kittens.
"Ahem!" Above the conference room, a dark area suddenly erupted with a coughing sound, not loud, but shaking the hearts of all the participants.
"I know that none of you here are revolutionaries, and none of you have supported revolutionaries, and you are all good subjects of the Qing Dynasty." As soon as the thunderous voice in the darkness fell, everyone present finally put down a boulder in their hearts.
"But—" The hearts of the people who had just fallen could not help but rise again, and they all looked at the dark place where the voice came from with a look of trepidation, and it was pitch black above the meeting, but they could still vaguely see that the man sitting on the main seat was tall and mighty.
"You have the obligation to help the imperial court exterminate the revolutionaries and clear a stable sky, so I invite you, the chamber of commerce bigwigs in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to discuss together."
"I wonder what we should do?" An old man of about sixty years old mustered up the courage to stand up, and although he stood very straight, he could still see that his body was trembling slightly.
Everyone here understands that no matter how strong and big their strength is, they are just a mosquito and fly that can be destroyed in front of the imperial court, and Hu Xueyan, who was invincible a few years ago, is the best example.
"You don't need to do anything, just pay the money, you pay the money, our ghost will help, and we will work together to assist the imperial court to solve the hidden tumor of the revolutionary party. You only need to pay 20 million taels of silver, of course, this needs to be negotiated by you, if any of your merchants in the above three places do not cooperate, then we will help you come forward, whoever dares to disobey, who will be destroyed! The dull voice shook the hearts of all present like rolling thunder.
The big man in the dark, looking at the people sitting on pins and needles below, did not have a sense of pride, but a strong sense of guilt. But he had to do it, and the ghost came to inform him that the boss was now short of money and urgently needed a lot of financial support, and he had to raise 30 million taels of silver no matter what means he used.
Although those businessmen who supported them will be compensated in the future, and the compensation will be much more than what they have paid today, if you tell them this first, unless you think you are crazy, no one will believe it, so you can only take the necessary measures.
Those who were killed by his own orders this morning were those who were financing the revolutionaries. The Ghost Society will not really kill the Revolutionary Party, but it is still necessary to eradicate their funders and report to the Imperial Court, otherwise the development of the Ghost Society may encounter obstacles, and it will even be judged by the Imperial Court as a chaotic party and exterminated.
As soon as the meeting ended, everyone swore that they would raise the money within ten days and send it to the Ghost Society, of course, the Ghost Club also gave them a lifelong protection promise, and the Ghost Society would protect their chambers and families for free in the future.
"Vice President, our opium purification experiment has been successful, and we can start mass production." A ghost dressed in black bowed down to a gloomy position, with a look of respect and adoration.
It's been almost two years since the Ghost Shadow Club was established, but I haven't heard of anyone in the gang who has seen the true face of this mysterious vice president, although I haven't seen it, it doesn't prevent the entire Ghost Shadow Club from worshipping and respecting this mysterious vice president.
Although he is only the vice president, everyone knows that the real president has not spent a day in the Ghost Society, and the Ghost Club was established by this vice president, and the vice president is the soul of the Ghost Society.
"Good!" The voice was still as dull as usual, and there was no change in the slightest, "Send the evil ghost to the United States to contact Guiluo, and our Xiaoyao business is fully responsible for Guiluo!" The voice was silent for a long time, and then it sounded again: "The order goes down, and the brothers in the meeting must not touch Xiaoyaosan, whoever touches it will be dealt with according to the gang rules, and Xiaoyaosan must not be sold in Daqing." ”
In Los Angeles, USA, Situ Meitang half-knelt in front of Li Yi, from today onwards, Situ Meitang is an official member of the Ghost Shadow Society, he is codenamed Ghost Luo, and is responsible for the Ghost Shadow Club's loose business.
Li Yi took the information in his hand and looked at it carefully, this is the gangster information that Jenna screened from gangs across the United States, and Li Yi decided to find the Ku Klux Klan as a partner in the free world.
Kukluxklan (KKKK) refers to the civil hate groups that pursued white supremacist movements and Christian terrorism in three different periods in American history and modern times, and is also a representative organization of American racism, they have extreme hatred of blacks, believing that blacks are only worthy of being used as slaves.
The organization often uses terrorism to achieve its goals. The Ku Klux Klan was first formed in 1866 by veterans of the Confederate Army defeated in the American Civil War. In 1871, President Ulysses Grant forcibly banned the organization.
Although the organization was nominally outlawed, they were in fact only transferred from the ground to the underground, and now the leader of the Ku Klux Klan, Gratt Jack, is an ethnic extremist who is more extreme than his predecessor Nathan Bedford Forrestal, who hates blacks, Roman Catholics, Jews, Asians, and other immigrants, and is a white British supremacist.
