Chapter 6: The Three Tycoons

"Boss!" Huang Zhenyi walked to a square table and whispered in someone's ear: "I just got a piece of news that two little red guys who popped out of nowhere killed six British soldiers, a British detective, and an Indian patrol at the gate of the public garden!" ”

"Ahh A square-headed, big-eared, broad-mouthed Humpty Dumpty man responded in surprise, turned his face, and his eyes fell on Huang Zhenyi's face, this person was Huang Jingrong Huang, the boss of the famous Shanghai. Boss Huang's shoulder blades are not too big, so it seems that his fat head does not match his figure. However, he has a Zhengtian face, boxy, the so-called "heaven is full, the corners of the earth are round", his cheeks are fleshy, his mouth is wide and his lips are thick, and he should have no problem opening his mouth and fists. On his purple face, a piece of hemp skin is faintly visible, which is the origin of his nickname "hemp skin essence". At the same time, he has a pair of big eyes, and when he is struggling to look at it, his eyes are blazing, and he can vaguely penetrate other people's internal organs, but he is powerful but not overbearing, strict but not powerful. He wore a robe, cloth shoes, and white cloth socks, regardless of his mood, joy, anger, sorrow, or sorrow, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he first rushed out: "Touch that mother!" This mantra is unavoidable for the rest of his life.

It turned out that Huang Jingrong was sitting at the table at this time playing "Bronze Flag" with his three distinguished guests, and the Copper Flag is also a kind of card, which is roughly similar to "digging flowers", but there is a missing pair of "Five Kui". Playing "Bronze Flag" is Huang Jinrong's only hobby, and he has enjoyed it for decades, almost "one day without this gentleman".

Seeing that Boss Huang had something to do here, and the three VIPs at the card table couldn't continue to stay, they all got up and bowed their hands to Huang Jingrong and said, "Master Huang, I'll see that I'm almost done today, why don't we continue another day?" ”

Huang Jingrong saw that the three of them were leaving, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, there are a lot of things today, Huang will not keep you more, let's make an appointment to play a few more games, I won't send it, then who, Xiangsheng, will send it for me."

"Okay, okay, Huang Ye stays, you don't have to send it!" After saying that, the three distinguished guests walked out in turn,

A person appeared from outside the door, this person is less reckless than those people outside, more Sven, his name is Ma Xiangsheng, he is one of the "Eight King Kongs" around Boss Huang, and he is also Du Yuesheng's brother, like Du Yuesheng, he used to be a white-faced person on the beach, what is a white-faced person? This is big Shanghai slang, that is, people who play in society, people who are idle, people who do evil, **. The "Eight King Kongs" are also known as the "Eight Sheng", and the names of these eight people all have the word "Sheng", including Du Yuesheng, Jin Tingsun, Xu Fusheng, Wu Rongsheng, Ma Xiangsheng, Gu Zhangsheng and others.

Ma Xiangsheng turned sideways to let the three distinguished guests pass, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Bosses, please!" ”

Waiting for the three of them to walk away, Huang Jingrong blurted out: "Touch that mother, is this news true?" ”

Huang Zhenyi swore an oath: "It's absolutely true, just now the director of the legal arrest room, Mai Lan, convened a meeting of the heads of the arresting rooms and issued the task of arresting the two little red guys, and afterwards Inspector Cheng called from the central capture room and said that you should do your best to find these two little red guys!" ”

Before 1886, the highest officer of the police department of the French Concession Board of Directors was called the chief inspector, and from 1886 it was changed to the superintendent, and the superintendent of the French Concession police department, Mai Lan, took over as superintendent from three years ago.

Boss Huang has been mixed up in Shanghai for so many years, how can he be mixed up in vain? He knew all the people on the beach in Shanghai, how could he be so easy to catch six British GIs and two patrolmen killed at the gate of a public garden? This kind of person is definitely a ruthless, murderous and unblinking high-roller, he Boss Huang is now a person with a family and a small industry, and he is no longer the "hemp skin Jingrong" who had nothing back then, to find trouble with this kind of person, I'm afraid it will be trouble in the end, right? In addition to the identity of the French Concession patrol and house detective, on the road, there are more than one or two who speak more than his numb skin and glory, and many bigwigs in the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang do not buy his account, thinking that he does things for foreigners and insults his ancestors.

This is an extremely tricky matter, and it is not easy to do! Huang Jingrong stretched out his hand and touched his scalp, his face wrinkled, and spit out of his mouth: "Touch that mother, Mai Lan, this foreign devil is going to roast me on the fire, and he killed eight people with guns in an instant, how can the two of them get along so well?" If we don't get it right, we'll set ourselves on fire! ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's voice came from the door: "Didn't you set yourself on fire?" In this matter, let's participate in it less! ”

There was a woman wearing a white cheongsam, her hair was high and coiled, her face was good, and the corners of her eyes were full of evil spirits, this is Huang Jingrong's wife Lin Guisheng, Lin Guisheng is not a simple woman, it can be said that without her, Huang Jingrong would not have the reputation and status in Shanghai today, and he is not the only Chinese who is a detective and a detective in the French Concession, such as Jin Jiuling, Cheng Ziqing, Ren Wenzhen, Chen Sanlin, Ding Yongchang, Lu Jinchen, Zeng Jiuru, These people are not lower than him in the patrol room, But none of these people have more power and fame than him in Shanghai, this is all the credit of Lin Guisheng, she helped Huang Jingrong use the identity of the Fa Capture House to secretly do shady business to accumulate money, and then use the money to develop private forces, forming a gang organization of such a scale, while other Chinese detectives and Tanmu do not have such scheming, so they can only watch Huang Jingrong become more and more dazzling on the Shanghai beach. It can be seen from this how important Lin Guisheng is to Huang Jingrong, and in the white-faced circle of Shanghai, when they see her, they have to call her "Lao Zheng Niangniang".

Huang Jingrong saw that Lin Guisheng was coming, so he turned around and walked to the side of the kang and sat down, picked up the cigarette gun and put it to his mouth, next to Huang Zhenyi immediately took out a box of foreign fire, took out a match, lit it for him, and took a few puffs, Huang Jingrong comfortably spit out a puff of smoke, "Don't participate?" How do you explain to the devil on the side of Mai Lanyang? ”

Lin Guisheng frowned, sat on the other side of the kang table and thought for a moment before saying: "Yuesheng, that kid has a very flexible head, why don't you call him here and ask him what he thinks and ideas, if he comes up with a good idea, then you can promise me what I told you last time!" ”

Huang Jingrong was stunned: "Uh, what did you say last time?" Is it a matter of letting the moon rise manage the public recollection? ”

"Yes!"

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Jingrong turned his head and ordered Huang Zhenyi: "Go and call Yuesheng!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Zhenyi knew that Du Yuesheng was probably going to make a fortune this time, but he was not envious, he knew that his family was ordinary and mediocre, and he admired Du Yuesheng's cleverness, activity and alertness, and Du Yuesheng was introduced to Huang Jingrong by him.

It didn't take long to see Huang Zhenyi leading a young man wearing a gray cloth robe, with the cuffs rolled up to reveal a white lining, and his figure looked a little thin, this was Du Yuesheng, the most famous and famous boss in Shanghai.

At this time, Du Yuesheng was only twenty-one years old, he had been working under Huang Jingrong for several years, and he was already one of Huang Jingrong's most powerful Eight King Kongs, but he had not yet opened his door. Working in the Huang Mansion, there is no salary to be paid by the upper and lower people, because most people think so, since there is Boss Huang's card head to use, the people below should in turn pay tribute to Boss Huang on a monthly basis. But although Du Yuesheng has won the trust of the proprietress Lin Guisheng, he still doesn't dare to let go and find his own way to make money, compared with the other people in the mansion, he has no other income except for occasional rewards, so he naturally looks more shabby. So, the proprietress remembered that she should pick on him, Sister Gui Sheng took the initiative to give him a beautiful errand, and wanted to hand over Gongxing Ji to him, and mentioned this matter to Boss Huang a few days ago, but Boss Huang didn't agree at the time, saying that he wanted to see it again.

"Old, Sister Guisheng!" Du Yuesheng bowed down and saluted, which was regarded as a greeting.

Huang Jingrong put down the cigarette gun, glanced at Lin Guisheng, and motioned to her to say, Lin Guisheng saw her husband's eyes, and understood what he meant, she greeted Du Yuesheng and said: "Yuesheng, there is such a thing to come to you today, if you handle it properly, I will hand over Gongxing Ji to you to take care of!" ”

Gongxingji? Du Yuesheng was overjoyed in his heart, but his face did not show any sound, and he muttered slightly: "Sister Guisheng, I don't know what it is?" ”

Lin Guisheng is very satisfied with Du Yuesheng's calm appearance, you must know that the "Gongxing Ji Club" is one of the three major casinos in the French Concession. ”

The "Gongxingji Club" casino is not the business of the Qinggang, nor is it Huang Jingrong's business, but the Guangdong rich man opened, but the Cantonese people are just rich, but they have little power in Shanghai, and they want to open a casino in the mixed territory of Shanghai, and it is absolutely impossible to open it without a local snake, so Huang Jingrong has naturally become the umbrella of the Guangdong rich man, and his people naturally have to get a salary to watch the field in the "Gongxing Ji", and Boss Huang will also get a filial piety every month.

Due to the strict management of the public concession authorities, it is rare to store business premises such as zĂ i casinos on the surface, but in the French Concession, corruption is rife in the French Concession Police Department, and the heads of the police department have reached a tacit understanding with the gangs, so casinos, gambling stalls, tobacco houses, prostitutes. Courtyards and other shady places are blatantly opened on the streets. If you can watch such a large casino, it is very considerable in terms of income, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day. In Lin Guisheng's opinion, Du Yuesheng was able to be so calm after hearing about this incident, this calmness is very rare, this person is a material for doing great things, and his future will be limitless in the future.

Lin Guisheng immediately explained the situation, Du Yuesheng thought for a moment after hearing it and said: "Boss, Sister Guisheng, according to the kid, this matter is very simple, no one knows where the two high-rollers fled, someone saw them flee south, who can guarantee that they entered the French Concession and Nanshi?" Maybe they're still in the public concession? If we really find those two people, what if we don't succeed? The two of them killed eight soldiers with guns in an instant, is this skill and courage that ordinary people can have? With such a person, I'm afraid that we still have to weigh it carefully, we can't offend such a high-roller! But on the foreigners' side, we can't offend, offend the foreigners, although they won't do anything to us now, it's hard to say in the future, I think we might as well send some people to do the show, don't take it seriously, even if we find the whereabouts of those two people, we just don't see it, just be able to deal with the foreigners, and this happened in the public concession, that's the British's business, and our French concession side can't fight the eight poles, we can't work, no one can say anything, if the boss really can't hide, Then pay some money to find two substitutes for the dead ghosts, on the one hand, to deal with the foreigners, on the other hand, it is equivalent to making friends with those two high-rollers in disguise, I don't know what the boss and Sister Gui Sheng think? ”

Huang Jingrong and Lin Guisheng's eyes lit up when they heard this, the two glanced at each other, each nodded, and Lin Guisheng said: "Okay, I was really right at the beginning, Yuesheng is a promising person, and this is how to do it today, Yuesheng, Gongxing Jige is only a platform, and it is next door to the patrol room." When you go to their boss, you say I called you to do them a favor, and eat as usual. ”
