The three of them left Li Hong's mansion and were overjoyed, because they had never imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would agree to them so easily. What kind of person do they think the prince will be courteous to meet with someone from the underworld? But now they have discovered that the prince is not an ordinary person, and the prince's approach is beyond their imagination, no wonder it is the prince, this pattern is different. If they were put in such a position, they would never do it, because they were different, and they didn't want to bend to it.

When the three of them returned to the county office, they put a banquet in the living room and began to drink bitterly.

This is their routine, as long as they get something, no matter how big or small, they will have a drink.

When the wine was average, the county magistrate suddenly remembered that he had not informed Xu Wenqiang of the news that the prince wanted to see Xu Wenqiang, so he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu Wenqiang, and they continued to drink.

After the three left, Li Hong pondered in the study.

He really didn't expect that the three of them would compromise with him in such a way, so there was only one problem, that is, Xu Wenqiang of the Green Gang wanted to see him. Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li, Du Yuesheng and Feng Jingyao, thinking of these four people, Li Hong thought of several hooligan leaders in Shanghai during the Republic of China, Du Yuesheng, Feng Jingyao, Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li.

Xu Wenqiang, a student at Yenching University, was arrested for three years for his patriotic student movement and lost his like-minded girlfriend. After experiencing this heavy blow, he came to Shanghai alone, determined to stop having any feelings for society and the people around him, and to pursue material comforts wholeheartedly.

I want to be a ruffian, but I have the blood of a cultural person in my bones. The affectionate and righteous brother Ding Li, the pure and kind Feng Chengcheng, the gentle and virtuous Adi, and the grievances and grievances between Jingwumen and Japanese spies shook his determination again and again. He wandered between love and hatred, mediating among various forces but unable to turn the tide, until his soul broke off on the beach.

Ding Li was born in the slums of Zhabei and made a living selling Yali pears, and his greatest wish in life was to leave the slums and go to the Seven Heavens, Paramount Gate, and shake hands with Feng Jingyao and other well-known people! By chance, he met Xu Wenqiang (played by Chow Yun-fat), and with the efforts of the two, he finally had his own world in Shanghai, but Ding Li was impulsive and caused a big disaster, and finally the two had to take refuge in Feng Jingyao.

Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang both fell in love with Feng Jingyao's daughter Feng Chengcheng, but Feng Chengcheng only fell in love with Xu Wenqiang. Soon Xu Wenqiang found out that Feng Jingyao was colluding with the Japanese, so he secretly sabotaged Feng Jingyao's conspiracy, and Feng Jingyao ordered to hunt down and kill after finding out!

Li Hong feels that among these two people, Ding Li is a person who is often misunderstood and difficult to understand, he is different from his eldest brother Xu Wenqiang, Xu Wenqiang is shrewd and capable, far-sighted, although Ding Li is smart and studious, but his personality is more straightforward, and he can't see the inner level of others. He attaches great importance to love and righteousness, takes the morality of the rivers and lakes as the criterion in dealing with people, and acts magnificently, but because of his poor background, his vanity is strong.

Ding Li rarely lied in his life, and Feng Cheng liked him because he never lied to her. The ruthless and impatient side of Ding Li's personality also caused him a lot of obstacles, and even Xu Wenqiang missed him. When Lu Qiubai died, Xu Wenqiang thought that Ding Li did it, and the result was Feng Jingyao; Ouyang Han was arrested, Feng Chengcheng thought that Ding Li did it, and the result was Nie Renwang; When Xu Wenqiang pointed a gun at Feng Jingyao, Ding Li pulled out a gun, Xu Wenqiang thought that Ding Li had betrayed him, but he thought wrong again; So when Xu Wenqiang died in the end, some viewers would think it was Ding Li

Feng Jingyao is a character in the TV drama "Shanghai Tang", and his prototype is Huang Jinrong, the boss of the old Shanghai Youth Gang and one of the "three tycoons of hooligans", with more than 1,000 disciples.

As for Du Yuesheng, this is the person Li Hong admires the most.

Why?

Because Du Yuesheng's family history is very legendary.

Du Yuesheng is one of the most legendary figures on the beach in Shanghai in the first half of the 20th century, known as "the first person in the 300-year-old gang" and "God". He went from a small deflated man to the old Shanghai beach and became the biggest gangster in Shanghai; He came from a humble background but became a wealthy tycoon involved in entertainment, culture, education, finance, and journalism, and he is the most striking figure in Shanghai's underworld and has a legendary life.

His life is full of thrilling legends, and the vast gangster kingdom he built and the unique mark he carved in modern Chinese history are still talked about today.

In 1911, Du Yuesheng joined the Eight Shares Party for drug trafficking, and was appreciated by Huang Jinrong, the leader of Inspector Hua in the Shanghai French Concession (Shanghai Public Concession Patrol House) and the boss of the underworld Youth Gang. In 1925, he opened Sanxin Company with two other Qing Gang celebrities, Jin Zhang Xiaolin, to monopolize the drug trade in the French Concession. In the same year, he served as the chairman of the General Federation of Shanghai French Concession Chamber of Commerce and the supervisor of the French Concession Taxpayer Chinese Association.

In April 1927, Du Yuesheng organized the Chinese Communist Association with Jin Jin. On the evening of April 1, he booby-trapped Wang Hua, the leader of the Shanghai workers, so that the workers' armed forces were quickly suppressed the next day. He also participated in assisting in the security work in the surrounding area.

In 1929, Zhonghui Bank was opened. In 1930, he was appointed as the director of the French Concession Public Board of Directors, and obtained a high social status. In 1933, he established his own gang organization "Hengsha". Since 1934, he has successively served as the chairman of the Shanghai Local Association, the vice chairman of the China Cross, and the chairman of the board of directors of the China International Commercial Bank.

Talking about the evaluation of Du Yuesheng [4], Wang Zhaoguang, director of the Research Office of the History of the Republic of China, said: "Du Yuesheng is a complex historical figure, he started in a gang, and has a 'black' or 'evil' side, but he has supported the anti-Japanese resistance, so he has a 'white' or 'positive' side. Historical evaluation should seek truth from facts, negate when it should be denied, and affirm when it should be affirmed. For Du Yuesheng, although there is a 'positive' side, on the whole, the 'evil' side is more prominent, and he is not a character worthy of special recognition. ”

Therefore, thinking of these four people from the Luoyang Green Gang, Li Hong thought of these four fierce men he knew in his previous life.

In fact, Li Hong is also thinking that the real Du Yuesheng, Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li, and Feng Jingyao are still very young, if they really have the strength of the underworld brother they knew in their previous lives, Li Hong really wants to subdue the four of them for his own use!

Li Hong is such a person, the person he likes, the person he thinks is talented, he will find a way to get it, and he will get it at all costs!

Thinking like this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Hong's mouth.

……

Xu Wenqiang got the news of the county order, and he was very nervous. To be honest, he is a thug who can meet His Majesty the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the current crown prince Li Hong, what reason does he have not to be nervous?

And he still has to give a gift to the prince, which makes Xu Wenqiang even more nervous. What if the gift does not satisfy the prince and makes the prince unhappy?

Besides, with his own identity, what kind of gift should he give to make the prince value himself?

These questions made Xu Wenqiang very nervous, and he was nervous.

He thought about it, and called Du Yuesheng and Feng Jingyao to his study, he was going to discuss it with the two, because both of them were scholars, and he felt that the scholars might be more aware of how to give gifts to the prince and how to flatter His Royal Highness the prince.

Before, Xu Wenqiang had never let Feng Jingyao and Du Yuesheng meet, because one was his think tank and the other was the think tank of the Qing Gang.

Now, when it comes to his future, he doesn't think about doing it.

When Feng Jingyao came to the study, he was also taken aback when he saw Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng, when could he naturally participate in the conversation between Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng? Also, why didn't I see Ding Li today, Ding Li was never late for a meeting, he came today, Ding Li had no reason to be late, could it be...

Feng Jingyao didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, too ruthless, too fierce, Xu Wenqiang was too ruthless, his brothers were willing to kill him, Du Yuesheng was too fierce, Ding Li dared to kill him, just for his own future......

"See the helper, see the elder!" Feng Jingyao bowed and saluted.

"Mr. Feng doesn't need to be polite, come and sit!" Xu Wenqiang said with a smile. Feng Jingyao walked to the lower position of Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng and sat down, silent. If Xu Wenqiang or Ding Li didn't take the initiative to ask him today, he wouldn't be ready to take the initiative to speak, and before he understood what was discussed between the two people, Feng Jingyao didn't want to interject casually, because whether it was Xu Wenqiang or Du Yuesheng, he couldn't afford to offend.

"Mr. Feng, I came to you today to discuss how to give gifts to the prince." Du Yuesheng said with a smile, "I hope Mr. Feng is not restrained and just speaks freely." ”

Feng Jingyao was taken aback, Du Yuesheng was too fierce, how could he know what was going on in his heart, so he smiled and said, "The elder said that it was my duty to contribute to the Qing Gang, how could I restrain it." ”

"It's good if you don't have it!" Du Yuesheng smiled faintly and said, "Big brother, just tell Mr. Feng the good news you know, so that he will be happy in his heart." ”

Xu Wenqiang nodded slightly, and told Feng Jingyao the news that the prince was willing to see him.

Feng Jingyao's face flushed after hearing this, and it was obvious that he was very excited.

It's strange if he isn't excited, he wants to be an official, he wants to glorify his ancestors, he didn't have a chance before, this time as long as Xu Wenqiang gets the prince's appreciation and introduces him to the prince, he will have the opportunity to be an official, with his talent, he can do it to glorify his ancestors, how can he not be happy?

"Great, great." Feng Jingyao said happily, as if he had forgotten how restrained he was just now, and how he told himself that he would remain silent in today's meeting and never talk nonsense.

"It's a pity, we still have a big problem to solve, and if we don't solve this problem, it's useless for us to see the prince." Xu Wenqiang said with a gloomy face.

"That's right!" Du Yuesheng agreed, "This is a big deal, if this matter is not solved well, let alone being reused by the prince, it is estimated that there will be a possibility that the prince will be killed." ”

Feng Jingyao was taken aback, what was it that made Xu Wenqiang and Du Yuesheng so nervous, could it be Ding Li's business? Something happened to Ding Li, let the prince know?
