Chapter 283: Digging a pit to make people jump
"Brother Dongguan, our people have been beaten!"
Sure enough, Wei Jixiang returned to Du Sheng's side after the New Year and solemnly brought the latest information:
"He Anle doesn't know if it's out of revenge or if he was instigated by someone to destroy our Hongxing stronghold in Haojiang.
And the fire cow has not passed since they came back for the New Year, and they have almost lost it over there.
Even the casino that we reopened in cooperation with Brother Kun is no exception."
Du Sheng put down a report about the appointment between Smith and the Director of the Treasury Bureau, and frowned:
"What about the specific reasons, tell me about it?"
The cause of the incident has to start with the newly opened casino hall.
Because the business cooperation with the gambling king has not improved, and the previous business in Haojiang was destroyed, Liangkun proposed to reopen the gambling hall with Du Sheng.
Du Sheng saw that his men and horses were idle in Haojiang, so he agreed.
Anyway, there are so many unlicensed casinos over there, and there are not a few of them.
Unexpectedly, just last night, He Anle Jiuwenlong directly came to the door with people and horses, and was aggressive towards Chen Peng, who was left behind.
"To do business in Haojiang, you have to abide by the rules of Haojiang, and you Hongxing is no exception.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the major gambling halls, gambling stalls and powder shops on Taipa Island, each shop is required to pay 10% of the protection tax to us and Anle. β
Chen Peng sneered, not at all:
"We have our own manpower, so we can pay you a protective tax?"
What kind of fart protection tax is more excessive than the protection fee, and it is clearly a hard robbery.
"Don't pay? Believe it or not, your business can't be done in a minute. β
As he spoke, the Nine Striped Dragon sneered.
Suddenly, the engine roared outside, and the endless people surrounded him.
Count them anywhere, and there are two or three hundred.
Chen Peng's face sank and said:
"What, you still want to be us Hongxing?"
The nine-striped dragon sneered contemptuously:
"Hong Xing is very good, don't you go? This is Haojiang, not Xiangjiang, and it's not your turn to point fingers. β
Chen Peng frowned, and could see that the other party was clearly here to make trouble.
There may be a factor behind the beautiful mother and Jiang Tian raising them.
The Nine-Striped Dragon is indeed here to stir up trouble.
Liang's mother found him not long ago and promised that as long as he drove Du Sheng's men away, he could give him three VIP rooms when the management cooperation rights of Jinbi Mansion were transferred to Jiang Tianyang.
This promise really touched the Nine Striped Dragon.
Most of the money made in legal casinos is in VIP halls, and the money of the rich is several times more lucrative than that of ordinary halls outside.
Moreover, he knew very well that Jiang Tiansheng had already signed a contract with King Gamble before, as long as the people sent by Hong Xing were destroyed, there was a high probability that this business would fall into the hands of Jiang Tianyang.
Not to mention, they and An Le have long had a grudge with Du Sheng, and if they let each other gain a foothold on Taipa Island, they will be uncomfortable in the future.
Therefore, the two parties joined forces to hit it off.
"It's impossible, at most the venue fee will be paid."
Chen Peng suppressed his unhappiness and frowned.
Although there are not many people left on his side, he can't fall into Hong Xing's reputation.
"That's what you said, don't blame me for not giving you Hongxing face."
The nine-striped dragon snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Anyway, he didn't think that Hong Xing would agree.
This time I came just to pick an excuse to drive Hongxing's people away.
Watching the other party leave the figure, Chen Peng's brows furrowed even deeper.
During this time, there have been two clashes between the two sides, and now it seems that it was premeditated, and there will definitely be a big fight next.
He needed manpower support here, so he immediately called Wei Jixiang to explain.
"According to Chen Peng's younger brother, Liang's mother has met with the Nine Pattern Dragon, and this time it is hard to guarantee that she is not behind the scenes."
Wei Jixiang briefly finished the situation, and continued:
"Huoniu and they came back for the New Year, we only have less than a hundred people in Haojiang, do you want to send more people over?"
Du Sheng naturally would not be indifferent, and said expressionlessly:
"Let Ah Wu take the Apocalypse team over first, and the plane will also explain.
Get the ship in place as soon as possible, I suspect He'll be moving tonight. β
This kind of local fighting, naturally, does not need him to go out in person, and letting the plane bring 300 people over is basically enough to support the scene.
"In addition, let Ah Wu see if he can find a chance to send his beautiful mother on the road!"
Jiang Tianyang is still fighting fires, and Liang's mother only has a few hundred people, as long as she can find her hiding place, there is still a chance.
Wei Jixiang didn't say much, and began to mobilize people and horses, and asked Master Su to arrange ships to cross the sea.
Fortunately, it is only an hour away from here, and the landing site has already been arranged, so it is quite convenient to come and go.
In fact, Haojiang is indeed very lively tonight.
Approaching 11 o'clock, the streets of Taipa are still full of Chinese New Year atmosphere, but a large number of people and horses appear one after another.
"The Nine-Striped Dragon is really short-sighted!"
Near Hongxing's newly opened gambling hall, the plane stared out with a cold expression.
Looking at the size of the other party, there are about 400 people.
The Nine Pattern Dragon probably felt that even if Hong Xing sent people to support, it would be impossible for him to exceed two hundred people.
After all, it is still the New Year, and he has prepared in advance to gather enough people and horses, not to mention that Hong Xing has to let the snakehead arrange to cross the sea.
But I don't know if the impact of the last bridge explosion is still there, he didn't let his subordinates carry guns, but just held various swords and sharp weapons.
"Others are not stupid, they have big plans!"
Chen Peng sneered, without the slightest fear.
Because in the surrounding two streets, there are also more than 300 subordinates brought by the plane.
Coupled with his own nearly 100 people, it was enough to fight back.
What's more, this time it's a counter-raid!
There is also the Apocalypse Squad to assist.
As a result, it is not surprising that this battle of the Nine Pattern Dragon is destined to steal chickens and rice.
Thanks to Du Sheng's rapid landing of the plane, he not only kept the newly opened casino hall, but also overturned more than 100 horses in He'anle in a counter-killing manner.
In addition, Ah He, who returned to Haojiang to accompany his wife for the New Year, also took his subordinates to cooperate with the plane to search for the Nine Pattern Dragon's subordinates, trying to scrape out the traces of the Nine Pattern Dragon.
He is a local, and he used to be a middle-level and high-ranking member of the Yihe Society, and he knows a lot about many secrets.
For example, the stronghold of He'anle, and the place where the henchmen of the nine-striped dragon often appear.
In a gorgeous bar, a man with dyed white hair just put down the phone and scolded and went out, and was instantly surrounded by people:
"Ghost Boy?"
"What do you want to do?"
Ghost Boy Jie is the straw sandals of the nine-patterned dragon's new job, and when he saw the two subordinates around him being beaten with three punches and two feet, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
When he spoke and diverted his gaze, the whole person suddenly turned around and ran back to the bar, but before he could take two steps, he was broken by a steel rod and broke his leg bone.
"Run! You run again! β
The plane was murderous, and once again smashed down with a stick, looking extremely ferocious.
With his current combat strength, it is impossible for someone below five stars to escape in front of him.
"I don't owe you any money, big brother, don't fight!"
Ghost Boy Jie was beaten to the point that his skin was torn apart, and he shouted while screaming.
"Where's the Nine-Tattooed Dragon?"
Ghost Boy finally understood the reason, and his eyes flashed:
"I'm just a little minion with An Le, how can I know where the big guy is?"
Seeing a few juniors rushing out of the bar, Ah He, who was dressed in disguise, glanced at the plane:
"Bring people back and talk about it."
The plane nodded, threw Ghost Boy Jie into the car with one hand, and the group disappeared quickly.
When the nine-striped dragon heard the result, he smashed all the supper on the spot and scolded the waste at a group of subordinates.
"What the hell, Hong Xing dared to move the gun?"
"Du Sheng, this is going to play big on the street, I'll play with you, see who can't afford to play first!"
The eyes of the nine-striped dragon were red, like a man-eating ghost.
A quarter of the 400 people were killed or wounded, half of them gunshot wounds, and even if they were rescued, they would not be of much use.
Not to mention the treatment costs, settling-in expenses, etc., a wave of losses of several million.
Even if this money is promised to be paid, but the manpower is so depleted, no one can withstand it.
Because the entire Haojiang has a population of hundreds of thousands, the total number of people in the community does not exceed 20,000.
His and An Le are among the top three words, but there are no more than four thousand under his command.
If you subtract those non-combat members such as stackers, grooms, and fans, there are only more than 1,000 people who can fight.
Tonight, he lost a tenth of it at a time, can he not be angry?
The most frustrating thing for the Nine Pattern Dragon was that even he was worried that he would make too much trouble and anger the Public Security Department, but the other party was completely stunned!
What's the matter, are the current cross-river dragons so horizontal?
"Big guy, you just got out on bail, and you can't move the gun."
Although a henchman next to him was also angry, he calmly persuaded.
"Yes, the other party made it clear that you were still being stared at by the Public Security Bureau, and you didn't dare to fight him to the death, so you were unscrupulous."
Another red stick said viciously.
There is one sentence he hasn't said yet, that is, the Public Security Department believes that his boss is the suspect and shielded in the last 'bridge bombing case', and he can't help but be afraid to let go.
And what about Du Sheng's group of gunmen?
Came and went without a trace, and not even a shadow could be seen.
In addition, the opponent moved the gun and was not worried about being implicated, so it was a big deal to run back to Xiangjiang first.
And they and An Le are rooted here, and it is too easy for the Sheriff's Department to find someone, and once the gun is moved, it will be very implicated.
The most important thing is that they have less than 30 gunmen, which is still improvised, and the accuracy of the marksmanship from eight meters away is as fate would have it.
The cost of shooting training is too great, and I can't afford to play without a family background and military channels.
On the other hand, the team sent by Du Sheng has accuracy from a distance of twenty meters, which is obviously the elite who has been fed.
It's crushed in every way.
"Sorry for him, don't move the gun and continue to be a target?"
The nine-striped dragon roared with red eyes.
He'd never fought so stoopping.
What's more, Du Sheng himself didn't come, but he still pressed himself to fight, which became a joke!
"Big guy, to deal with Hong Xing, you have to let Hong Xing's people come."
Fei Wei made a suggestion:
"Although Liang's mother is about to fall out with Hong Xing, she must know Du Sheng's weaknesses, why don't you let her participate?"
Another henchman also agreed, saying:
"It was originally something she provoked, and there are Jiang Tianyang's people behind her, so there is no reason to watch us fight to the death."
The nine-patterned dragon was angry for a long time before he hated and said:
"Ah Wei will contact him later, Ah Mao will continue to send people to search, Lao Tzu doesn't believe they can hide!"
He knew very well that Liang's mother had a gun team, and there were people left behind by Jiang Tianyang.
Although I have lost face now, the point is to work together to sweep away the thorn of Du Sheng'an.
The Nine-Tattooed Dragon was annoyed about how to deal with the Apocalypse Squad, and Ah Wu had already taken the men and horses, quietly preparing to wait for the rabbit.
According to Ghost Zijie's confession, as well as the traces of the Nine-Tattooed Dragon's henchman Feiwei, as well as Chen Peng's repeated inquiries, he basically locked down the area where Liang's mother lived.
Early the next morning, Taipa Tianyi Community.
Liang's mother learned that the operation failed, and asked the nine-tattooed dragon to meet and discuss in the old place.
The reason why she was in a hurry to clean up Hong Xing's stronghold in Haojiang was not only because she was taboo about Du Sheng, but also because there was something wrong with Jiang Tianyang.
In addition, she knows very well that with the way Liangkun and Du Sheng do things, it is impossible for her to let herself go free.
Rather than that, it's better to strike first.
"Here we are."
Ah Wu sat in the mud truck, slowly checking the guns in his hands.
Ah He didn't speak, and drove the car off the road without hurrying.
The two vans that were playing nearby also took their own actions.
Moments later, three black sedans were slowly driving towards the viaduct.
The two sides are gradually approaching the forward and negative parallel lines.
Ah He suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and then slammed the steering wheel to make a sharp turn.
Bang!
This sudden change, the three cars couldn't react at all, and the front car was directly hit and rolled over.
This caused a chain reaction, causing the second car to passively rear-end and crash into the roadbed next to it and almost roll over.
The bodyguard in the third car reacted quickly and quickly drew his gun to guard.
Unexpectedly, in the opposite direction of a van, two masked men swept wildly with a slight rush.
There are also flanking players who suddenly draw their guns and aim at a fixed point.
In this raid, eight people were killed and injured in an instant around Liang's mother.
"Be careful!"
Ah He was about to get out of the car to replenish the gun, but Ah Wu suddenly shouted, and at the same time shot at the second car.
Although Ah He saw the opportunity quickly and was still wearing a bulletproof vest, he was still shot in the abdomen by an obese woman, which stabbed heavily.
"Pounce on your mother, give labor and capital death!"
Ah He was ruthless, picked up a grenade and smashed it.
With a bang, the whole car was almost blown over.
Ah Wu sighed slightly, quickly swept his tail, and then beckoned everyone to leave.
Originally, he didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, there was a bounty for the Nine Striped Dragons behind him, and now it seemed that it would be difficult to deal with it.
Half an hour later, Du Sheng received a report and said with a smile:
"Solved so quickly? I thought my pretty mom would keep shrinking. β
When she was in Sham Shui Po, Liang's mother has always been known for her forbearance and shrinkage, and the territory has been completely built, and strangers are quickly found out when they go in.
I didn't expect to be so breathless in Haojiang.
But if you think about it, it's a displacement after all.
If she had been ruthless at that time, it would have been the best choice for her to ignore what happened to Jiang Tiansheng after her death.
It's a pity that people are not beasts and animals, and sometimes feelings do become fetters.
The plane asked:
"The market has been checked here, and cards are being set up all around, and it is a bit troublesome to place manpower."
Du Sheng thought for a while and said:
"My beautiful mother died, and there was such a big fuss last night, the Public Security Bureau will definitely be under martial law, and I will find a way to withdraw some of the people first tonight."
He has a boat and a way to go ashore, and the back and forth is fast, as long as he passes the coast guard, it is not a problem to solve it with money.
The plane had no objection and added:
"The Sheriff's Bureau is summoning the Nine Striped Dragon, even if he doesn't go in, it is estimated that he will have to avoid the limelight, should we take it down in one go?"
"Don't move for the next two days, I'll go over then."
If you make trouble at this time, you will definitely be targeted by the Public Security Bureau, so it is better to place the injured subordinates first.
Du Sheng explained two more sentences and hung up the phone.
Now that the territory of Haojiang has been divided, it is more difficult for Hongxing to fight his hands.
What to do?
Of course, it is to muddy the water and make the Hao River chaotic.
It was in his interest to reshuffle the cards, so there was a plan for a long time.
Moreover, now that he only has one purple shard left, it's time to harvest a wave.
That night, taking advantage of the opportunity to pay the fees, Liangkun simply held a Hongtang meeting.
But the general content, everyone can basically guess.
Liang's mother died, and Aaron, who temporarily replaced Sham Shui Po's storyteller, sat in the position as he wished.
And with Liangkun's unscrupulous purge, those uncles who are not convinced are dead, and those who fly away are flying away.
In this way, Hongxing is almost an iron bucket, and it is difficult to break through from the inside.
Unless Liangkun can't think of swallowing Du Sheng's territory, or Jiang Tianyang pulls Du Sheng over.
But these possibilities are not much higher than the probability of winning the lottery.
"Ah Sheng, this time the sea flag is victorious, by the way, take the casino!"
Liangkun was in a good mood tonight, and smiled at Du Sheng after the meeting.
He was recently invited to a tea party by Deng Bo's predecessors, which means that outsiders finally recognize his identity as a Hongxing leader.
In addition, the dead ghost guy behind him also asked him to have a cruise party, and introduced several middle-level and high-level figures from the three divisions and eleven bureaus to him, which was a double happiness.
Of course, he knew that all this was inseparable from Du Sheng, a general, so he gave away the villa that Aaron confiscated in Sham Shui Po.
Du Sheng knew the other party's thoughts, so he naturally wouldn't be polite.
However, he crossed the sea this time with ulterior motives, changed the topic and smiled:
"The family went to Holan for a vacation, and it is said that they will not be back until a few days later.
I guess he hadn't even come back when I returned. β
"Do your best, don't let Jiang Tianyang rob it."
Since learning that the casino opened by the two sides was smashed by He Anle again, Liangkun didn't think much about the business over there.
Du Sheng smiled, said goodbye and left, and came to Xinbao Cinema to discuss follow-up cooperation.
"Eight Immortals Hotel" was officially released last night, and won 10.82 million box office in 24 days of release, which shocked the attention of many industry insiders.
"Ah Sheng, congratulations, a dark horse of "Eight Immortals Hotel" has come out of nowhere, and your Qiankun Entertainment name has spread all over the film circle."
Chen Rongwei heartily welcomed Du Sheng into the office.
Du Sheng chuckled:
"Boss Chen, you still took the big head, I should congratulate you, right?"
"Haha, let's get rich together."
Chen Rongwei is now afraid that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will rob him of people:
"Ah Sheng, you see that the movie is also out now, is the follow-up contract on the agenda?"
Du Sheng has no choice.
The other party did not dare to be greedy for their own box office money.
After negotiations, the contract was finalized.
In the future, Qiankun Entertainment's movies will be released in Xinbao theaters for the first time, and overseas distribution will also be under Xinbao's responsibility, and Xinbao will give priority to Qiankun Entertainment's films.
Of course, if a certain film can't be released, it is inevitable to cut it in advance.
The box office share is the same as that of "Eight Immortals Hotel", after removing various taxes and publicity costs, Qiankun Entertainment will take 40%, and the video revenue will also belong to it.
Chen Rongwei originally wanted to take a stake in Qiankun Entertainment and envelop this person with territory, connections, and brains.
But after Du Sheng proposed a share exchange between the two parties, he stopped talking.
The new treasure house is worth more than 100 million, and he will not change it unless he is stupid.
Anyway, now that the theater chain has been revitalized, it's a big deal that Xuejiahe will engage in satellite companies to make films in the future, so there is no need to invest in shares.
Du Sheng doesn't care, it's not certain who will annex whom in the future.
After saying goodbye to Qiankun Entertainment, Zhang Meirun, who had just finished filming the makeup photos of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", was happier than Du Sheng, who had gained a lot.
She ignored the surprised eyes of outsiders, and was excited to hang on him for a while.
Du Sheng laughed and picked her up in the car and reminded:
"Arun, don't forget to bet."
Zhang Meirun, who was originally smiling, suddenly blushed and became embarrassed.
When she agreed to gamble with Du Sheng before, she never thought that a small production without a big name would break 10 million at the box office.
Now I really want to cry without tears.
"Brother Dongguan, I'm so ashamed, let's change it!"
"Little girl, you have to be honest."
Du Sheng interrupted her with a smile and drove directly back to her new home in Mong Kok.
After entering the room, Zhang Meirun changed into a kawaii girl's outfit, stood by the closed balcony timidly, and said shyly:
"Buba, please have pityβ"
Listening to the sound of crying begging dad to be soft from time to time nearby, the neighbors next door couldn't stand it.
As a parent, how can you beat your daughter like this!
How sad and pitiful this crying is.
Two days passed before I knew it.
I don't know if it was affected by the transfer of NB Chief Superintendent Boshm back to the Eagle Country, and Smith was also sent back to China with his father Gabriel.
Because the scandal of Thomas accepting bribes and using his power has been exposed.
Previously, every time the anti-drug team cracked the case and seized the goods, Boshm asked Thomas to be responsible for the inventory, and Thomas would detain most of the goods, and then sell the goods to the drug company at the market price, and the profit was seventy-three cents
This storm of public opinion is fermenting, which is more serious than the previous loss of 200 million.
Considering that Smith had always been close to Thomas, Gabriel had to make this decision.
It seems unlikely that he will return anytime soon.
Du Sheng was a pity.
After all, he has already dug a pit, just waiting for an opportunity to go to the 'Gabriel Bank' to rob the rich and help the poor, and now there is no 'good helper', so he can only stop for the time being.
Fortunately, there is good news from the Haojiang River, and you can go to harvest a wave.
In the evening of the same day, Du Sheng arranged relevant matters and set foot on the Haojiang land again with the plane, Wei Jixiang, Atai and others.
After meeting with the resident Chen Peng, Ah He spoke:
"The leader of the Yihe Society, 'Da Fei', has a habit of taking a group of models to play golf almost every week.
If the news from my side is correct, he will go to the Taipa golf course tomorrow."
Atai and the others all nodded in acknowledgment.
After all, they used to be important thugs of the Yihe Society, and many things were tacit.
Du Sheng nodded slightly and commanded:
"Keep inquiring, don't reveal your identity, find the right opportunity to do it again."
Chen Peng saw that Du Sheng was listening to it, and said:
"The Broken Tooth Pony of the Water House likes to entertain the VIPs in the casino, and sometimes he will be there.
I heard a rich man who borrowed millions of expensive profits say that there is a show at the Kaiyu Hotel at ten o'clock tonight, and it is estimated that most of them are soliciting distinguished guests. β
Kaiyu Hotel is one of the legal casinos of the King of Gamblers, and the security and management of the hotel is entrusted to the Water House.
Du Sheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"The water house of Broken Tooth is the largest community in Haojiang, and his whereabouts are so secret?"
"Actually, these are not secrets in the rivers and lakes, at least in the past few months."
Apo is also an expert in the gambling world, and said with a smile:
"He was assassinated when he left the casino last month, but he's okay and he's still in the same vein."
Du Sheng was thoughtful.
This tooth breaker is a bit interesting, after all, it's not easy to be a faucet.
Maybe it's digging a pit specifically for fishing?
But no matter what, if you have the chance, you have to go.
Neon has already sent someone to investigate, and the Blackwater organization is estimated to be similar.
In order to erase the crisis as much as possible, he could not have spent it here.
