During this period, the teahouse could be used as a place of recreation, a place of contact, and a special purpose. It is to "eat and talk about tea", and it is to use the teahouse as a place to mediate disputes.

No. 028 wore a long shirt and felt polite.

When I walked into the Weichun Garden Tea House, I saw that the sign read, "Morning tea is a few words per pot, afternoon tea is a few words per pot, and the small account is not taken. ”

But this is just talk, No. 028 still prepared a small amount of change, ordered a pot of cheap tea, a few plates of snacks, and sat in the center of the lobby.

Some people can grind in the teahouse for a day with a pot of tea, so there are still a lot of people like her who purely eat tea.

Just after noon, I saw a young man in a green cloth robe and a hat sit down, ordered a pot of high-quality Biluochun, put the lid of the tea bowl and hat on the table, stretched out his left hand and three fingers to pick up the tea bowl.

This is the rule of the Qing Gang members to worship the pier, and sure enough, soon someone went to talk, and what they said was not five or six, it was carried out in code language, which was difficult for outsiders to understand.

No. 028 confirmed through their words that a very important Qinggang boss came over today as a middleman to mediate the conflict.

The young man in the green cloth robe has some status in the Green Gang, he is a small leader, he has just returned from an errand in the field, and when he hears the inside information, he is ready to try his luck here to see if he can meet the big guy.

Later, the members of the Green Gang who sat in the past were insiders who ate tea today, so the Qingbu Changsan asked if he could open a box today, and when he invited the brothers to get together, the members of the Green Gang politely refused, saying that it was inconvenient, pointing to the top, referring to the big man.

After getting the news 028, he made up his mind, took out the wrapped book, and read it while eating, Xiao Er continued the water many times, and his face was a little ugly, after No. 028 took out 30 copper coins to reward, that face smiled like a flower, and I wished she was growing here.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon, when No. 28 had finished reciting three books, that a clear literati walked in with a cane, and a group of enthusiastic people ran around the literati without touching the ground.

The literati sat down in the lobby.

The members of the Green Gang paid for tea and went upstairs to inform the news, and after a while, a big man walked up to the literati and said, "Wang Gong came by coincidence, but he just wanted to introduce someone to you." ”

The meat is coming, the meat is coming!

The literati surnamed Wang glanced at the big guy in surprise, presumably he knew him, and followed the person away.

The big guy secretly moved his fingers, and No. 28 saw the members of the Green Gang who had reported the news before walking up to her desk and saying, "Little brother, our husband wants to see you." ”

No. 028 couldn't ask for it.

Eagerly following the person upstairs.

She was invited into a private room with no one in it, and a table was set up to eat, and she happened to be hungry, so she moved a few chopsticks slightly.

The restaurant is not soundproof, No. 028 thinks so, otherwise how can you hear the conversation from next door.

It turned out that the previous literati surnamed Wang was the editor-in-chief of a well-known newspaper, and the status of the literati was high in those years, and the status of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was also high.

A businessman surnamed Chu wanted to take over the sluggish "Current Affairs News" and join the Daily Newspaper Guild as a step to advancement. Editor-in-Chief Wang was very dissatisfied with this, believing that Chu did not understand anything, and linking the newspaper to interests would undermine the purity of the newspaper industry.

Therefore, he has been exposing the old background of the businessman surnamed Chu in the newspaper, and the businessman surnamed Chu is miserable.

The businessman surnamed Chu has a lot of money, and invited the Qinggang boss Du Zhao as a mediator.

Du Zhao grasped the news that Editor-in-Chief Wang would come here for tea at the same time every time, so he had today's situation and introduced the businessman surnamed Chu to Editor-in-Chief Wang.

Chu was a little low at the table, and he had been a god for a long time and admired the name for a long time, and his posture was very low. and Du Zhao mediated, and the two reached an agreement, editor-in-chief Wang no longer ruined the reputation of the businessman surnamed Chu, and the businessman surnamed Chu no longer ran a newspaper.

This incident was written in the newspaper the next day, even the brothel girl knew the ins and outs of the matter, and the fame and status of the three people involved were improved, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

An hour had passed, and the matter had almost been said. The businessman surnamed Chu diligently got up to see off the editor-in-chief Wang, and the two exchanged politeness and left together.

028 was curious when the door was pushed open.

The one who walked in was the Qinggang boss Du Zhao, and No. 028's eyes swept to the big guy's feet, and he saw that the person who came was wearing mille-feuille shoes, no wonder he couldn't hear the sound.

The big guy also glanced at her, and No. 028 stood up and looked at the visitor excitedly, at a loss and didn't know how to speak.

"Where is the little brother from?"

The big guy sat down unhurriedly and asked with a teacup.

This is to ask her identity, whether she is from the rivers and lakes.

No. 028 bowed his hand: "Xiaosheng is just an ordinary passerby, from a beggar to learn two or three codes from your gang, I just happened to meet today, I want to join in the fun." ”

"Lying." The big guy's voice was still unhurried.

"Well, actually, I'm an elementary school student who will graduate next year and will graduate from secondary school in three years. I've admired the heroes of the Qinggang for a long time, and I want to come and run to them. ”

The big guy put the teacup on the table and turned his head to look at him: "You are a promising student, why did you want to join the Green Gang." ”

No. 028 had no choice but to tell the truth: "Don't hide it, my sister sold herself to a place that harmed people in order to provide me with education, but she died in two or three years." The pain in my heart was unbearable, and I thought that one day I would have the ability to change the fate of thousands of women like my sister who sold themselves for the sake of their families. ”

"Wouldn't it be more effective to be an official, according to you?" The big guy looked at her with interest.

"If your sister is alive, I must also want you to be an official and glorify the lintel, not a hooligan."

No. 028 bowed down and bowed again: "As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, the Qinggang brothers and I are both hard-working people, I must be able to empathize, and I can also have some pity for the brothel woman." I want to improve their living conditions in the future, as long as everyone's interests are in hand, there will be much less resistance.

The people in the government are different, brothels are Guo Jia's big tax collectors, and they must be reported layer by layer to rectify it, and it may not be possible. I have neither a family background nor a world-class talent, and rectifying the brothel is not a problem that Guo Jia has to consider, and no one cares about it means that even if I struggle for 50 years, I may not be able to make drastic changes to this group.

The Green Gang is in charge of the lower nine streams, and the brothers are righteous and angry, so I have been admiring it for a long time and want to defect to the Green Gang and realize the ideals in my chest. After all, we men work hard outside, one is for the old and weak women and children at home, and the other is for one breath. The newspapers outside tell us about the current situation of Guo Jia's prostitutes, Pingcheng is nicknamed the Oriental Flower Capital, and there is one prostitute for every 137 residents, far more than Chicago, Paris, London and other big cities in the world.

Which philosopher I remember said that when all this Guo Jia's women had to sell silver to support their families, then this Guo Jia's man should commit suicide. The Qinggang brothers have footprints all over the world, and rectifying the problem of prostitutes is a huge boost to the reputation of the Qinggang in the world. So I want to join the Green Gang, help individuals realize their ideals, and help the gang brothers straighten their waists and be people. ”
