There are more than a dozen counties in Saigon-Embankment Shuanglian City, with a total population of more than 3 million, and there are only a few thousand police officers in the city, many of whom are not convinced by the anger of the Binh Chuan faction. It is difficult to find Li Guanyun's son in the vast sea of people, and it is even more impossible to expect them to help find it wholeheartedly.

The first time the person was arrested by Ruan Shan, Lai Wencan naturally handed over the task to Ruan Shan.

If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple.

In normal times, he would not hesitate to catch a Li guy and take him to the headquarters to torture him to see if he was willing to confess the whereabouts of the Li family, or if he wanted to be thrown into a cage to feed the tiger. But now is not usual, Li Guanyun ran away with his wife and daughter, and if he startled the snake, his son would definitely run away. If he is allowed to run away and can't catch anyone, who does the seventh brother care about asking for money?

Ruan Shan did not dare to act rashly, and did not even involve the urban police, but arranged for a few reliable brothers to squat near the US embassy to see if the people were in the embassy. At the same time, he took another group of brothers to secretly spy on Liu Jiachang, the head of the Li family.

Another day passed, and the kid surnamed Li never showed his head. The surname Liu either sat in the office or went to the woodyard, warehouse or guild hall for meetings.

Fan Qingzhong, who was monitoring with him, sat a little impatiently, snuffed out his cigarette butt and said, "Brother Shan, it would be nice if I could go to the telephone company to monitor the phone." ”

The telephone company is French, and the French will not buy the account of the Pingchuan faction.

Ruan Shan snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Nonsense, if I could go, I would have gone earlier." ”

At the same time, Liu Jiachang was busy for a long time, his waist was a little sore, he got up and walked around the desk to the window, opened the curtain a small slit, looked at the teahouse diagonally opposite, and asked casually: "Ah Sheng, are they just sitting like this?" ”

has been under surveillance for three days, God knows if they will use force, the eldest young master calls a few times a day to withdraw, but he still stays in such a dangerous place like no one.

Ah Sheng hurriedly pulled the curtains, for fear of attracting the attention of the other party, he deliberately helped him, and made sure that he was no longer shaking before turning around and said, "Manager Liu, you really can't stay here for a long time." The young master has confessed, and he will kidnap you today. ”

The things that should be dealt with are basically all dealt with, Liu Jiachang doesn't want Li Weimin to worry anymore, and said with a smile while packing up the account books: "Listen to you, thirty-six plans are the best, and there is no need to tie up." ”

Ah Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately grabbed the phone to contact the brother who answered.

Five minutes later, Liu Jiachang walked to the door with his briefcase as usual, a black car drove out of the courtyard, he pulled the door and got into the back seat, and the car spewed out a puff of black smoke and drove in the direction of the Great China Restaurant.

How could Ruan Shan let him disappear from sight, he had already prepared.

As soon as Li's car drove a few dozen meters, three motorcycles and a sedan followed, and he hurriedly paid for the tea and took Fan Qingzhong downstairs to get into another car.

When they caught up with a car in front of them, they saw Li's car parked in front of the "New Shanghai Trading Company", and the driver was eating fried rice noodles at the fried noodle shop opposite. Afraid of alarming his target, he glanced at his brother in front of him. After a while, all the people who were following and monitoring dispersed.

I waited for nearly twenty minutes.

Fan Qingzhong felt that something was not right, and when he looked back, he found that the driver of the Li family, who was supposed to be in the rice noodle shop, had disappeared without a trace.

Ruan Shan also realized that he had been deceived, pulled out his pistol, rushed down and kicked open the door of the new Shanghai Trading Company, put the gun on the forehead of a staff member who was startled and was looking at them stupidly, and asked angrily: "What about the people, where are the people who came in just now!" ”

"What...... What man, sir, are you...... Who are you looking for? ”

"The one who came in just now, white shirt, tie, and a black leather bag, explain honestly, be careful of Lao Tzu smacking you!"

He questioned fiercely, while Fan Qingzhong led people to search room by room.

The staff trembled with fright, and begged with a sad face, "Don't ...... Don't shoot, I ...... I remembered that it was a person who came in just now and said...... Said to borrow the toilet, we ...... We were settling accounts, we didn't pay attention, we should have left early. ”

At this time, Fan Qingzhong came out of it and reported with a sad face: "Brother Shan, there is a back door, and the surname Liu ran away early." ”

I'm afraid of something, and in the end, I still startle the snake. Ruan Shan was furious, opened the gun safety and roared: "You guys, tell me honestly, where did he go?" ”

Brother Qi has an explanation, you can't shoot casually on the embankment. Even if you want to kill this guy, you can't do it in broad daylight.

Fan Qingzhong hurriedly reminded: "Brother Shan, he is not from the Chaozhou Gang. ”

Many people know the Five Gangs Association and think that the overseas Chinese on the embankment are all Cantonese, Chaozhou, Hakka, Fujian and Hainanese, but in fact, this is not the case.

This starts from 1807, when there were many overseas Chinese in Vietnam, and the language was not comprehensible and difficult to manage.

As a result, the seven prefectures of Zhang, Quan, Chao, Guangzhou, Hui, Qiong, and Hui, as well as the five gangs of Fujian, Guangzhao, Chaozhou, Hakka, and Hainan, commonly known as the seven mansions and five gangs; In 1834, it was allowed to set up a chief and deputy head of each gang to manage the internal and external affairs of overseas Chinese. It was not until the end of World War II that the Franco-Vietnamese authorities demanded the establishment of the Chinese Council, which attempted to manage the Chinese diaspora through a semi-official association.

The seven prefectures of Zhang, Quan, Chao, Guang, Hui, Qiong, and Hui were merged into the Five Gangs as early as possible, but due to historical reasons and years of war in China, some overseas Chinese who were not affiliated with the Five Gangs successively established their own township gangs.

Before the Ming Dynasty, overseas Chinese who came to Vietnam intermarried with the locals, and there was no difference between them and the locals for several generations, and the locals called them "Mingxiang people", and the five gangs spontaneously established the "Mingxiang Hall" because they failed to maintain the tradition and did not accept them.

Some overseas Chinese from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang were unable to integrate into the Five Gangs because of language customs and other reasons, so they formed a group to keep warm and spontaneously established the "Sanjiang Gang".

The Binh Chuan faction collects taxes through the gang leaders, and Ruan Son knows which store and which company belongs to which gang.

Thinking that there were fewer people in the Sanjiang Gang than in the Hainan Gang, they belonged to the marginal group of the overseas Chinese area, and they had no dealings with the Chaozhou Gang, so they could only put down their guns and walk out of the trading company without looking back.

Just when he was angry and preparing to take people to raid the Li family's wood factory and warehouse, Liu Jiachang, who had escaped from the tiger's mouth, was sitting in a small fishing boat, talking and laughing with Wang Xingxing, Wang Jinpeng, Gu Pingchun, Gu Cailian and others who answered him.

"No need to ask, they must have gone to the woodyard and the storehouse, but unfortunately they were a step too late. I don't want to make people angry, so I can only honestly withdraw my troops. ”

After the eldest young master took charge, it was not a "transformation", but a "big contraction".

In fact, the dozens of shops in the woodmill, the storehouse and the embankment were all sold to those who were interested or in urgent need, and the Li family's property on the embankment was only a set of five-entry mansions and the property that was secretly enlisted to open a bank.

The more Wang Fuxing thought about it, the more pity he felt, leaned on the side of the cabin and sighed and said, "The wood has suddenly become so easy to sell, it would be nice if it could be delayed for a few days." There are more than 10,000 left, all of which are cheap. ”

He only knew one thing but didn't know the other, Liu Jiachang couldn't help but smile and said: "Recover, do you know why wood is so easy to sell?" Let me tell you, it's the young master's idea. Those people buy wood not to make furniture, but to make wooden boxes, which are specially used for packaging and shipping machines, which are similar to export boxes. Good materials are laid here, and some iron sheets are purchased on the Tie Street side, and nails are brought to Hanoi and Haiphong to be used. ”

"Mr. Liu, what does this have to do with us?" Gu Cailian asked suspiciously.

"Of course there is, first, the backlog of wood is out of hand, and there is no loss; The second is that those machines in Hanoi and Haiphong need our help to dismantle them, and we will help transport them. Labor costs, ship freight, loading and unloading costs, not a penny less. My old man is busy with this these days, there are too many machines to dismantle and transport, and even the flight of the Great China passenger and cargo ship to Singapore has been cancelled. ”

The business was all gone, and she suddenly became an idler, Gu Cailian was really a little unaccustomed, and asked in a low voice: "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

Liu Jiachang lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Go to Vung To, the Wu family helped us build a big house over there, which turned out to be a French resort." At the seaside, just outside the beach, I heard that the scenery is very good. Go and rest for a few days, and then participate in the training as soon as the teachers from Hong Kong arrive. ”

"How long is the training?"

"Train until you can pass the exam, not only you, but also me."
