More than half a month has passed since Lu Jiasheng extorted three million taels of silver, Xiao Zhenlei paid off the money for the house, and the real estate transfer procedures have been completed, and the mansion that is actually a luxury villa is already his. It is now the middle of April, during this time Xiao Zhenlei has been inspecting various places in Shanghai, preparing to set up a factory to do business, and now he has a total of 3.93 million taels of silver in his hands, such a huge amount of money can not be put at home to rust, you must find a way to use it, and use money to make money in order to invigorate the economy, otherwise you can only sit and eat empty, and more importantly, it is necessary to pull up your own people's power, it is not enough to have money, and you can't keep your property if you have money and no power, so now for Xiao Zhenlei, The top priority is to accept the younger brother and pull the team.

Xiao Zhenlei has already asked Fast to inquire about some forces within the public concession, in fact, there is no land snake in the public concession, so there is no zài gang, but secretly there is a big gang, such as the famous gentleman Yan Laojiu in Shanghai, in terms of the prestige of Shanghai, Yan Laojiu may not be under Huang Jingrong, this person has his own legitimate business on the surface, and has a good relationship with many directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau in the public concession, but he secretly opened underground casinos and underground banksIn addition to opening underground casinos, he also sells arms, and these underground businesses require a lot of money to play, which shows that he is extremely wealthy.

People who don't know the details only know that Yan Laojiu is a well-known figure on the beach, who often helps disaster victims, has done business abroad, and has a lot of relationships with foreigners, so his impression of him is positive, and those who know Yan Laojiu's details know that this is not just as simple as it seems on the surface.

After listening to Fast's introduction, Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and turned to Ma Xiaoshuang and Fast and said: "It's this Yan Laojiu, if we want to open up the situation in the public concession, let's take him first!" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang didn't know how powerful Yan Laojiu was, but Fast knew it very well, he persuaded: "Sir, I know you are anxious to do something, but since I have taken your salary, I feel that I have the obligation to remind you that this Yan Laojiu is not easy to mess with, he eats both black and white in the public concession, and has a great relationship with several directors of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, and in private he has a thug team composed of dozens of Jiangyang thieves, and you only have three people now plus me, and I declare one thing again, I'm not going to be involved in fights and killings, so how could you be his opponent? I can conclude that there is no need for Yan Laojiu to come forward in person, his subordinates have already taken care of you, if you really want to move Yan Laojiu, I advise you to wait until your own power is big enough before it is too late, going now is undoubtedly the result of sending you to death! ”

Xiao Zhenlei looked at Fast and said coldly: "Is a salary of two hundred taels of silver a month so easy to get?" That's enough money to buy your life, not to mention that you're still holding my life! You take my salary and you're going to do things for me, and now you take us to Yan Laojiu's underground casino! ”

Hearing this, Fast's face changed several times, and finally he clenched his fist and beat his head like crazy, and shouted: "Oh God, how did I meet such a person, I was forced to get on a thief ship!" ”

After venting, Fast still couldn't twist his arms around his thighs, so he could only take Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang to Yan Laojiu's underground casino with chagrin and fear.

In the French Concession, casinos can be opened in a conspicuous position, but not in the public concession, and the police department of the Ministry of Industry does not allow such a situation, so even if the casino is opened, Yan Laojiu can only do it in secret.

The risk of opening an underground casino is very high, once it is investigated, there will be problems, Yan Laojiu's underground casino only does the business of the rich, of course, those people on the road can also go in to play a few if they have money, strangers need to be introduced by acquaintances to play, and a regular customer can only bring two people in.

Although Fast is not happy now, he used to be a frequent visitor here, and he was qualified to bring two strangers into Yan Laojiu's underground casino, and under his introduction, Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang were able to enter.

The three of them were all wearing suits, and after entering the underground casino, they saw a large hall with more than a dozen gambling tables, and there were a variety of ways to play, including craps, stud, Russian roulette, mahjong, and pai gow.

In this era, there are no casinos to launch chips and other things, all of them are gambling with real money, and this underground casino is not an ordinary gambling stall, it is much more upscale than other casinos in Shanghai in terms of scale and internal facilities, just because the people who come and go here are not only money, but there is no shortage of celebrities who come here to play.

The three of them walked around the casino, and Fast walked beside Xiao Zhenlei and whispered: "Sir, look at the young man with glasses and a plaid suit over there, his name is Qin Liankui, he is a lawyer, he just opened his own law firm not long ago, he is very proficient in the laws of various countries and the laws of the concession, he has basically not lost a few lawsuits, and he has made a name for himself in the political and legal circles of the concession!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Zhenlei followed Fast's guidance and looked over, only to see six people sitting at a gambling table playing stud, and there was indeed a young man wearing a plaid suit and metal-framed glasses, and that person was Qin Liankui.

At this time, there were quite a few "pheasant universities" in Shanghai that only had to pay fees but did not have to attend classes, and the number of diplomas issued was proliferating, so that there were as many lawyers in Shanghai as carp crossing the river, and there were very few of these lawyers, and some so-called "robber" lawyers worked together with the people in the patrol to break down the accounts and arrange theft and robbery cases. There are also so-called "teahouse" lawyers, who sit in the teahouse by themselves, entrust scalpers to peddle business along the street, knock on the parties for a bamboo bar, and then go to the relevant people to pay bribes, work hard, and earn a few pennies in commissions. Varied, bizarre, varied, and wonderful.

Qin Liankui is a person, and the word is treated. At that time, he was a senior figure among the lawyers on the beach in Shanghai, with real talent, rich experience, superb legal attainments, and many years of experience, which made him have a clear understanding of human feelings, see through all kinds of situations in the world, and have a strong judgment ability. When he has nothing to do, he likes to dismantle words for others and solve problems, because he must be successful, the old Shanghainese people say that he is "the eye of heaven", and Qin Liankui at this time is far less famous than later.

Just when Xiao Zhenlei was thinking in his heart, Fast continued to introduce: "The middle-aged man wearing a horse coat on the left of Qin Liankui is Zhu Rusan, the dark suit and yellow tie on the right is Lu Shaotang, the traffic manager, and the real estate speculation king Zhong Kecheng on the opposite side, Mr. won't he not know him, right?" ”

It has been almost 20 days before and after crossing over, nearly a month, Xiao Zhenlei also knows some about some celebrities and wealthy people in Shanghai, and the three people introduced by Fast are all celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and they are also celebrities who like to linger in casinos.

Of course, he knows who Zhu Rusan is, and the old Shanghainese all know that there is a rich family surnamed Zhu in the corner of the pocket, who is a real famous family on the beach. The Zhu family is rich in the world, and the yarn mills and flour mills have semicolons all over the country. And Lu Shaotang, as the head of the Commercial Bank. Of course, the manager of the state branch is very rich, and he is also very generous when it comes to gambling, while Zhong Kecheng is a very famous real estate speculator on the beach in Shanghai, and he is extremely rich.

Later, a celebrity in the Republic of China said such a first sentence to describe the demeanor of the four celebrities in the Republic of China at the gambling table, three of which are here, "Zhong Kecheng gambles the most, Zhu Rusan gambles the best, Lu Shaotang gambles the most, and Tang Shengzhi gambles the worst."

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said: "These people have a great reputation on the beach, who doesn't know on the beach, who doesn't know?" ”

After going around the casino, Xiao Zhenlei already had an idea, he found a table with dice and sat down, there were as many as thirteen bets on this table, and there were fourteen with Xiao Zhenlei, so the table was packed.
