After sending Qin Liankui and the others away, Yan Laojiu handed over the matter of the casino to Ah Ghost to deal with, and invited Xiao Zhenlei to his mansion as a guest.

A luxury four-wheeled carriage carrying Yan Laojiu and Xiao Zhenlei drove on the street, with more than a dozen thug bodyguards jogging on both sides, followed by Ma Xiaoshuang and Fast in a rickshaw.

The automobile industry has begun to develop, but now it has just begun to start, not to mention the slow speed, there are many failures, but the price is not cheap, so at this time there are not many cars on the Shanghai Beach, and there are few Shanghai Tang tycoons who can accept cars, during this period, the transportation in Shanghai is mainly rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages and trams, and this is only a small number of people can afford to consume, most people can only rely on two legs to travel.

"This matter is also thanks to Brother Xiao, if you don't dislike it, we will be brothers of the opposite sex, and we will be called brothers in the future, I don't know what Brother Xiao thinks?" After drinking tea, Yan Laojiu said to Xiao Zhenlei in the garden.

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "I can't ask for it, I'm not hypocritical, Brother Yan is a temperamental, I like it!" Hahaha! ”

Yan Laojiu was stunned when he heard this, and he also laughed, and immediately ordered someone to prepare incense cases, incense candles and three animals, and the two of them cut roosters in the garden, drank blood wine, and made a blood alliance!

After the incident, Yan Laojiu called Ah Ghost and other subordinates to point at Xiao Zhenlei and instruct them: "I have become a brother of the opposite sex with Brother Xiao, from now on, when you see my brother, you will call him the second master!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei saw that Ah Ghost and the others were at least forty years old, and it was really a bit difficult for them to call themselves the second master, so he hurriedly said: "Big brother, I'm afraid that this is inappropriate, let's call each other, right?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, I said yes!" Yan Laojiu waved his hand and said to Ah Ghost and the others: "If the second master has something to tell you, don't shirk it, just like what I commanded, you have to do it properly, why don't you call the second master quickly?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Ghost called Xiao Zhenlei together: "Second master, if there is anything, please just tell me to wait!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei clenched his fists and said: "Offended, offended!" ”

After Ah Ghost and the others left, Xiao Zhenlei and Yan Laojiu chatted again, and Yan Laojiu was surprised when he learned that Xiao Zhenlei was from Jiangbei and was now the new owner of the "haunted house" villa that made people talk about it.

Yan Laojiu was surprised: "I just heard someone say a few days ago that the haunted house villa was bought, and people have already moved in it, but I didn't expect that the new owner of the villa turned out to be you, my brother?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "It's the little brother, let the eldest brother laugh, the little brother is strapped for money, and he wants to live in a better house, I happened to hear that there is such a cheap and foreign villa, so I bought it, others dare not buy it, little brother, what are I afraid of?" Hahaha".

Yan Laojiu said solemnly: "What's going on in that house?" I heard that there is a lot of yin qi there, is there really nothing wrong with my brother living there? ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "I don't know what it's like for others to live there, I seem to be normal when I live there, and I haven't seen unlucky things like ghosts!" ”

"This is not normal!" Yan Laojiu muttered to himself: "This has been scared to death several times in a row, but brother, you are fine, it may be that your blood is extremely vigorous, and the ghosts dare not show up!" ”

Speaking of this, Yan Laojiu changed the topic, "Let's not talk about this kind of unlucky thing, by the way, brother, what are you doing now?" Even if you have a good brother, even if you speak, in the public concession, my brother and I still have a little face, you just have to open your mouth if you want money or people! ”

This is definitely not a kind word, not a big word. Yan Laojiu can eat both black and white in the public concession, even foreigners have to give a little face, it is definitely not a waste of fame, foreigners care most about interests, who has money they will do business with whom, be friends, because they can make money from these people, it happens that Yan Laojiu is a rich man, a local tyrant, although he is rich, but he is not a fat sheep that others want to slaughter, and he is quite skillful, so foreigners want to make money but also do not want to make more trouble, so they can only be friends with Yan Laojiu and cooperate in business.

On the road, although Yan Laojiu blatantly occupies territory and opens docks, he has his own black power and gray business, and the gangs in the French Concession and the Chinese Circle generally do not conflict with him, after all, his power is not small, and no one can benefit from fighting.

Xiao Zhenlei hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, I've been here for more than half a year, and I've been working as a coolie at the dock to carry bags before, and now I want to pull up a group of brothers in this concession to 'open the dock' to eat, but I'm afraid that there will be a lot of time to disturb my brother in the future!" ”

Yan Laojiu slapped his chest thump, and said in a loud voice: "It's really a waste to go to the dock to carry bags with my brother's ability, brother, I just said, there is a place for my brother, you can speak!" ”

Speaking of this, he frowned again and continued: "It's just that the matter of your killing of those eight British soldiers must not be leaked out, if you let the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession know, I am afraid that my brother and I will not be able to speak, my subordinates I am not worried, they dare not chew the root of their tongues, I am worried about the other few people present today, they are not afraid of me Yan Laojiu!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't worry, those people are all human spirits, and they have a huge net worth, how can they talk about this kind of thing casually?" They understand the truth that comes out of their mouths, and besides, they have no evidence, how can they leak this matter to foreigners? ”

Yan Laojiu thought about it, and he was relieved. Soon, the next person came to report that the banquet had been prepared, and Yan Laojiu immediately invited Xiao Zhenlei to go to the banquet to eat together.

Although Xiao Zhenlei wanted to take the money, he was not short of funds now, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Yan Laojiu, so he tried his best to refuse, and apologized to Yan Laojiu, the new big brother, for finding fault in the casino before, and insisted on asking Yan Laojiu to pull off the latch of the casino and reopen for business.

In order to avoid gambling on life, Xiao Zhenlei and Yan Laojiu sent people to activities overnight after urgent consultation. Early the next morning, the front pages of the major newspapers in Shiliyangchang carried the story of the Chinese gambling king's victory over Japan's three major gambling masters, and the three Japanese gambling masters lost their lives because they gambled with their lives, and were killed on the spot, and their bodies were handed over to the relevant Japanese departments for disposal.

There are many witnesses to this matter, and there are also life and death certificates signed by the two parties before the start of the gambling game as physical evidence, and the relevant officials of the public party have also been sent by Yan Laojiu to send money to deal with it, although the Japanese are unwilling, they can only suffer this dumb loss, and secretly swallow this bitter wine.

When the people of Shanghai Tang learned of this, the morale of the people soared, and the little pity self-confidence suppressed by the foreigners quietly returned, and there were people in the streets and alleys, teahouses, wine shops, bathhouses, tobacco houses, brothels and other places where people talked loudly about the matter, and the commentators spat one by one, just like the one who defeated the three Japanese gambling masters.

Since then, Yan Laojiu has great respect for Xiao Zhenlei, and he praises Xiao Zhenlei as a "four seas" when he meets people everywhere, and he can afford to shoulder the blades in case of trouble. And Xiao Zhenlei after this incident, he actually rose his reputation in the British and French concessions, and he was on the rise, Xiao Zhenlei's three words began to spread in the black and white of the ten-mile foreign field, and even Cai Naihuang, the Taoist of Shanghai in the Qing court, began to pay attention to him, since he single-handedly wrenched Yan Laojiu, he swore to Yan Laojiu as a brother, and defeated the Japanese, so that the Japanese were dumb and couldn't say that they had to eat Coptis chinensis, which was really happy, and now he is qualified to be compared with Boss Huang and Yan Laojiu.
