Chapter 22: The Second Little Brother

After buying a house, he can settle down here in the future, Xiao Zhenlei felt a little relieved, before he established his own power, it was not suitable to be an enemy of the Qing Gang here for the time being. Because this is located in the public concession, but also in the British Concession, the gang figures in Shanghai generally do not dare to mess around in the British Concession, the patrol house in the public concession is not vegetarian, only some high-rollers and Jiangyang thieves who are not afraid of death dare to operate in this area, so it is relatively safe and quiet in the British Concession.

As for the private house he and Ma Xiaoshuang rented in Shanghai County before, they can no longer live in it, it is the sphere of influence of the local gang of the Qing Gang, since Xiao Zhenlei found out yesterday afternoon that someone has been following him and Ma Xiaoshuang, he knows that it must be someone from the local gang, as for who it is for the time being, it is not clear, but it is certain that they are not sure that they and Ma Xiaoshuang are not the two people who killed so many British GIs in the newspaper, so they are just tracking.

Xiao Zhenlei can pretend not to find out, but he can't stand being watched and tracked all day long, since the person who was watching disappeared last night until now, a day has passed, and no one has been found to be tracking, which also makes Xiao Zhenlei breathe a sigh of relief, maybe the person who followed him thought that he and Ma Xiaoshuang were not the two people in the newspaper at all, so he gave up continuing to track, but this is fine, Xiao Zhenlei thought that at least now there is no need to conflict with the Green Gang.

After coming out of the residence of the original owner Mads, the middleman Fast kept touching all parts of his body while walking, as if he had lice and itching, and he was uncomfortable, and when he saw that he had walked to the Sichuan Road, Fast mustered up the courage to twist and pinch: "Sir, you see, I have done your business for you, and according to our previous agreement, you should pay me a reward of ninety pounds........"

Xiao Zhenlei was so "reminded" by Fast that he remembered, "Oh! Xiao Zhenlei patted his head as if he had almost forgotten about it and said, "Yes, yes, according to the agreement, I should pay you ninety pounds!" He put his hand in his pocket as he spoke.

Get! No money! Xiao Zhenlei's hand reached into the pocket of his suit and stopped, but he immediately shouted, "No, Mr. Fast, I remember as if I saved your life, right?" ”

"Huh?" Fast was stunned, he didn't know why Xiao Zhenlei suddenly mentioned that matter, but he couldn't help but admit that it was Xiao Zhenlei who saved his life, "Yes, sir!" I'm so grateful that you saved me, and I'll keep that gratitude in my heart and in the back of my mind! ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Mr. Fast, you know that we Chinese do not want to return the favor, but I know that you are a businessman, and you are from England, you can be regarded as a guest, so I still think that you British customs should be respected, and the matter of me saving your life should be handled according to your British customs, you see, I saved your life, so how much should you pay me?" Or how much do you think your life is worth? Don't tell me that your life is worthless! ”

Fast was stupid, Ma Xiaoshuang was also stupid, and Xiao Zhenlei was left alone laughing and smoking slowly.

When Fast saw Xiao Zhenlei's appearance, he knew that he couldn't get the 90 pounds commission he deserved, so he stretched out his hand and said fiercely: "Come, I want to smoke, give me a cigarette."

This time, Xiao Zhenlei was not stingy, he took out one and handed it over, Fast reached out and took it in his mouth, grabbed the half-smoked cigarette butt in Xiao Zhenlei's hand, lit it for himself, and then returned it.

After a few consecutive puffs, Fast's love steadied down, and he stretched out his right thumb and said: "Sir, for you, I can only use one word to describe your Qingguo, 'serve', I obey!" I have been in Shanghai for many years, and there are many impressions of the Qing people, the people at the bottom of the society are generally insensitive, most of the businessmen are very honest, but there are also treacherous, the officials are generally deceived and concealed, flattering the superiors, bullying the subordinates, the gentlemen are very face-loving, the learned people are very modest, and never show off themselves, but what about you? The impression you give me is completely different from all the Qing people I have ever seen, your face is full of confidence, unparalleled confidence, your eyes are very bright, your temperament is very unique, as if you are not living in this era, but the other side of you is completely different from the Qing people are very modest and cautious in their attitude towards things, that is, cunning, yes, please forgive me for describing this trait in your character. I used to think that you were a murderer without blinking, but after this half a day of getting along, I know that I was wrong, you are a very sensible and very gentlemanly person, but you do not lack the ruthlessness of a killer, I can see that you don't have ninety pounds on you, but you didn't kill me, but made a fuss about the fact that you saved my life, so as to achieve the purpose that you don't want to pay me a commission, am I right, sir? Well, whether you admit it or not, I'm not going to ask for the ninety pounds, and I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe mine, and we've written it off between us, are you satisfied? ”

Xiao Zhenlei didn't expect that Fast, a foreign devil, would say a set of things, and it seemed that he did have some ability, but he didn't want to let Fast leave like this, "So Mr. Faster thinks his life is only worth ninety pounds?" ”

Fast hurriedly said: "No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood what I meant, you don't have the money to pay me a commission, and I owe you a life, so as long as we cancel each other out, no one owes anyone in the future, isn't that what Mr. meant?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Of course not, according to your logic just now, that is to say, as long as I pay you a commission of 90 pounds, your life is still mine, and I can take it at any time, right?" ”

Fast was completely stupid, he was stunned by Xiao Zhenlei, came back to his senses and hugged his head with a painful expression and said: "Sir, you can't do this, my life belongs to me alone, oh, God, hell! Okay, sir, I see what you mean, what the hell are you going to do? ”

Xiao Zhenlei was finally satisfied, and said in his heart that your kid was finally on the road, and asked, "How can I usually contact you?" ”

Fast said honestly: "There is a telephone in the guard room on the first floor of the English apartment, and you can find the number in any public phone booth!" ”

"Follow me, you will be on call in the future, give you a salary of 200 taels of silver every month, and a bonus for a good job, this is two oceans, it is to give you this week's meal money, if you let me know that you go to the casino to gamble and owe money to other people, not only will I not save you, but I will also help others chop off your fingers!" After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he threw two pieces of ocean to Fast, and then took Ma Xiaoshuang away, and soon disappeared.

A gambler who was so mixed that he was almost killed by someone else's debt collection, even if he is a foreigner, it is really lucky to be able to suddenly get a job with a monthly salary of 200 taels of silver, you must know that not all foreigners who come to Shanghai to beg for a life can get a monthly salary of 200 taels, at this time, the annual salary of Inspector Bruce of the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Concession is only 7270 taels of silver, and the average monthly salary is less than 606 taels, and the annual salary of Deputy Inspector General Mai Gaoyun is only 2000 taels of silver, On average, the monthly salary is less than 200 taels!

Fast looked at the two pieces of the ocean in his hand in a daze, and his head was in a trance, with a monthly salary of 200 taels? That bastard won't fool me, will he? By the way, how did he know I was hanging out in casinos a lot?
