In Chen's mansion, two guests were ushered in early in the morning, different from the decent people in suits and leather shoes, these two were big men dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, and the servants in the mansion occasionally saw the two, and they only raised their eyes slightly, and they didn't look at the two of them at all, and it was not strange that the seven officials of the Xiangfu Sect, these servants were first in Fuli and then served as servants in this Chen's garden for many years, and their horizons were naturally high.

In the lobby of a Western-style mansion, the two of them didn't realize the gaze of the servant, but they were just a little nervous and waiting, especially the middle-aged man, who was a little nervous and rubbed his palms from time to time, and the rustle of the thick silkworms between his palms echoed in the lobby, and sometimes he swallowed his saliva nervously.

What does it feel like for Grandma Liu to enter the Grand View Garden in the play, Zhang Renkui said yesterday that he didn't know, but now he said that he entered the magnificent "Chen's Garden", so he can understand what Grandma Liu is like when she enters the Grand View Garden.

"Master! I'm afraid that the place where the emperor Lao Tzu lives is nothing more than that! ”

Lu Guozheng looked at the Western crystal lamp above his head and asked a little dazzled.

Who in Shanghai didn't know that when Zhang Renkui, the 21st generation of the Qing Gang, joined the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong, he used a big knife to cut foreign devils in the capital, not to mention, but also to protect the emperor to move west, or if it wasn't the imperial court, he was afraid that it was a foreigner, so he turned his head and turned his face to suppress the Boxers, afraid that Zhang Daquandao might be able to mix with the heroes.

It stands to reason that since the master has protected the emperor, Lu Guozheng feels that his master must have been to the palace.

"Hmmm! Well! ”

Zhang Renkui, who didn't know what the palace was like at all, didn't want to lose face, so he had to deal with it lightly.

Ruisha, dressed as a Western-style servant, just walked out of the side hall, and heard the rustling sound of Zhang Renkui's palms rubbing, so he looked at the two guests who visited early in the morning, especially the middle-aged man with vicissitudes of life, with thick palms and thick finger joints, which looked particularly strong and powerful.

Immediately, Ruisha understood the young master's intention of inviting them here, this big Chen family garden was missing a little bit of a caretaker.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go here!"

After figuring out the joints, Ressa spoke respectfully and reached out to ask for instructions.

At the beginning of a big family, Zhang Renkui still had the majesty of Zhang Daquan's knife in the past, and when he saw that this person who seemed to be a Western beauty was so polite to himself, he was busy with his fist. This big family has many rules, and when they go to the house first, don't all those servants call her Ressa Butler, this Chen Mansion is not ordinary, even a housekeeper is a foreigner.

"Butler, please, butler, please!"

After accepting this gift, Ruisha led the two of them towards the young master's smoking room, and before the three of them walked to the door, the maid next to the door pushed open the thick black oak door, and saw that the young lady who led the way was walking fast, Zhang Renkui hurriedly put down his steps, although he was poor since he was a child, he had never seen a big scene, but he still knew these words.

After entering the house, Ressa gave a salute to the undernewspaper who was reading the newspaper.

"Young Master, Mr. Zhang has arrived!"

Chen Moran, who had already gotten the word of communication, knew that Zhang Renkui had arrived, so he casually threw the newspaper on a few places.

"Let them in!"

"Young Master Chen, what happened yesterday, Brother Xu doesn't know the sky, please Haihan if you offend!"

As soon as Fang entered the house, Zhang Renkui hugged his fists and gave a long salute.

"Mr. Zhang!"

After receiving a salute, Chen Moran stood up and looked at the Zhang Renkui in front of him, if he hadn't called Jia Liang yesterday, he was afraid that he had really forgotten this person, and it was this person who made Chen Moran react, this An Qing Gang is the Qing Gang of later generations.

When he was in college, Chen Moran once read a stall reading book of "Shanghai Rogue Tycoon", and the Zhang Renkui in front of him was the first generation of rogue tycoons in Shanghai, and he was also known as the godfather of the Republic of China and the Shanghai Taiye, and the "Shanghai Three Tycoons" who rose later also had a lot of roots with Zhang Renkui: Huang Jinrong was a disciple; Du Yuesheng is a disciple grandson; Zhang Xiaolin is a nephew. Protégés can be said to be all over the world, not to mention the military, political, and business circles, even the Kuomintang veterans have also befriended this old lady, including Chiang Kai-shek, who has also cast door stickers.

According to the book, two years ago, he and his master Ma Fengshan and his party had escorted Cixi and Guangxu to flee westward, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed the Boxers and bought the powers, Ma Fengshan was cut off his head, and he was alert, and he escaped with more than a dozen apprentices when he saw that the situation was not good, and wandered on the rivers and lakes for a while, but went to Yangzhou, followed by Xu Baoshan, a fellow brother of the "big" generation, who sold salt and smuggled salt.

Originally, he should have come to Shanghai with a group of apprentices at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and he made a situation in Shanghai, but somehow, he came to Shanghai now, and Xu Baoshan also came.

No matter how he came, he was at his big guillotine, this person, Chen Moran is going to decide, as for the godfather of the Republic of China and the master of Shanghai in the future, now, he will be my Chen Moran's gatekeeper in the future!

As soon as he heard Young Master Chen call himself Mr., Zhang Renkui hurriedly hugged his fists again and gave a salute.

"The young master dares to call him Mr. in front of him, and please don't kill me!"

"Okay, I'll call you Renkui!"

Pointing to the sofa on the side, Chen Moran motioned for the two of them to come down.

"Sit down!"

"Mr. Xie!"

It was only then that he sat down with his fists in a salute, sitting or sitting in a void.

"Renkui, you know Jialiang!"

Although Jia Liang had already told himself about the relationship between him and Zhang Renkui on the way back yesterday, Chen Moran didn't mind asking again at this time

"Back to Mr. Words, Jialiang his father and Renkui are not the same brothers, but in the capital but Renkui has a life-saving grace, the fourth brother will rush to the front every battle, for this Renkui and the fourth brother swore that he suffered from each other, set to take care of the family, in order to repay the fourth brother's great grace, and later after the foreign devil broke the city, Renkui with the master and the brothers to protect the old fayette, the emperor moved west, the fourth brother took the family Liang back to Baoding's hometown, after Renkui wandered into the rivers and lakes, once to Baoding to find the fourth brother, never thought that the fourth brother was a hero, and finally died tragically under the ......hands of foreigners."

Thinking that the fourth brother's family had fallen into this situation, Zhang Renkui couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that Jia Liang took his sister to the south, and the fourth brother had the grace of life to Renkui, so he went all the way south to find ......"

When Zhang Renkui spoke, Chen Moran carefully looked at his expression, there was no trace of hypocrisy in his expression, although this paragraph was not mentioned in the stall book that later generations had read, but now it seems that he is still a man who knows how to repay the kindness, I remember that the book said that Zhang Renkui's death is actually the end of the traditional Green Gang, the Qing Gang in Zhang Renkui's era can be regarded as having strict gang rules and formal etiquette, and in the hands of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, the Green Gang has lost the soul of "stealing and having a way", only the shell is left, as the book says, The sum of the two that I am doing now seems to be at least a man.

“…… Mr. Chen's chivalrous rescue of the Liang brothers and sisters, and the fourth brother's bloodline, such a great kindness is beyond repayment, and the fourth brother thanked the gentleman for his chivalry. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Renkui knelt, and Tom Tom kowtowed three times in a row, and Lu Guozheng, who was sitting on the side, saw the master kneeling, and hurriedly got up and knelt down and kowtowed with the master.

"Renkui, how can I give you such a gift!"

Seeing Zhang Renkui rushing at himself for such a big gift, he was stunned at first, and hurriedly stood up and was about to help him, but at this time Zhang Renkui hugged his fists again. At this moment, Zhang Renkui took out a sharp knife and said.

"I have no eyes, but I actually raised a knife to Mr., and I have come to ask Mr. for guilt!"

After that, Zhang Renkui raised the knife in his hand and plunged it into his thigh.

Chen Moran, who had already walked in front of him, saw it, hurriedly waved the cane in his hand, hit him in the arm, and the sharp knife was deflected, stabbing it fiercely on the floor, and piercing a shallow pit in the marble floor.

When Zhang Renkui raised his head, Chen Moran said lightly on crutches.

"I'm a person who doesn't like the bloody miserable situation, and the punishment of three knives and six holes is a rabbit."

In later generations, Chen Moran has watched TV and novels more or less, and knows the rules in the gang, if he does something wrong and asks the other party to forgive his sins, he has to use a sharp blade to pierce three holes in his body, which is called "three knives and six holes". "Three swords and six holes" is a punishment second only to "suicide".

As he spoke, Chen Moran leaned over and looked directly at Zhang Renkui, and the corners of his lips lifted.

"In my garden, there are still a few empty houses, if you want to repay the fourth brother's kindness and take care of Jialiang, it's okay to stay!"

"Ahh First...... Mr! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Renkui stared at the young master in front of him with wide eyes.

"If you don't want to, I won't force it!"

Looking up at the Mr. Chen in front of him, Zhang Renkui glanced at Lu Guozheng beside him, his apprentice's eyes were full of eagerness, for more than a year, whether it was him Zhang Renkui or Lu Guozheng, who had been living in the rivers and lakes, he was already tired, looking at Chen Moran with a sincere face, Zhang Renkui kowtowed to him again.

"Renkui, thank you...... Mr. Xie is very gracious, and Ren Kui will live up to Mr. Xie's kindness. ”
