Chapter 168: Welfare Society, Clue
Seeing that the boxer agreed, Hua Manxiu frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything to refuse.
The walled city is notoriously three-indifferent, and if you want to reformulate the rules of the walled city, it will inevitably touch the interests of others.
She doesn't have to think about it to know that those associations that are waiting to carve up the territory of the hometown association are bound to not give up.
Heroes, it's not so easy to be.
It is said that heroes have no tears, and it was not for this reason that Master Duan Tongtian Duan and her father Chao Mengshan were killed by the Fellow Villagers Association and Yang Zhuluan.
Hua Man faced Ang Lee, a little hesitant:
"Ang Li, there are only two people, my brother and the tooth guy, and it is unlikely that the community that will drive out the walled city."
Li An shook his head:
"It's better to be sparse than blocked, the pornography, gambling, and drugs outside are covered by bad guys, and these side businesses are open and open, not to mention the walled city.
It's certainly unrealistic to want to get rid of it all at once, but we can set rules for them, divide a few streets into communities, and do things according to our rules.
People, you still have to rely on yourself, it's not that the walled city doesn't have these messy things, and the residents will be in peace. If you really want to touch these things, you can get out of the walled city.
All we have to do is make the walled city not as chaotic as it is now. ”
After a pause, Li An narrowed his eyes and continued:
"As for the manpower problem, you don't have to worry, I can stay in the walled city with the people I brought this time. If I don't have enough people, I can draw some people from the docks.
The walled city is a world of the jungle, and whoever has the big fist is the rule. If these societies want to make money in the walled city, they must follow our rules.
If you don't follow the rules, just sweep it out! ”
"But in this case, what is the difference between us and the Fellow Townsmen's Association?"
Duan Yingfeng spoke very directly.
Ang Lee smiled:
"What the fellow villagers will do is to oppress the residents of the walled city, you are working for the welfare of the residents, the essence is different, how can it be the same?"
Duan Yingfeng couldn't help but look at Li An, with doubts on his face:
"For welfare?"
Ang Lee did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically:
"What do you think of the walled city now?"
Duan Yingfeng subconsciously replied: "It's chaotic." ”
"What about the residents?" Ang Lee asked again.
"Steal peace."
Duan Yingfeng was simply shocked.
His words are not empty words, just the sanitation and protection fees can make the residents of the walled city miserable.
Not to mention that evil forces are rampant, and the safety of residents is not guaranteed, let alone in terms of life.
The Hong Kong government does not have pipes to supply water from the city, and the city mainly relies on wells in the east and west of the city, as well as public taps outside the city, which have to be carried by the residents themselves.
But most of these public water pipes are occupied by the community and used to make money.
As for those elderly people who can't carry water by themselves, they can send water to the door, two buckets of water cost five cents, and it is expensive.
"If you want to change this situation, the first step is to restrict the prefix of the walled city, and the second step is to improve the environment of the walled city.
For example, environmental sanitation in the city, garbage removal, street repair, and water pipe connections to improve the living environment of residents are the benefits of the residents of the walled city. ”
Ang Lee spoke eloquently.
Duan Yingfeng couldn't help nodding.
But I also noticed one of the biggest problems.
The clever woman is embarrassed to cook without rice.
If it is planned according to what Ang Lee said, the walled city will undoubtedly change greatly.
But the question is, where does the money come from?
Li An glanced at Duan Yingfeng and asked with a smile:
"Is it a problem of hard money?"
Duan Yingfeng nodded: "If you really do what you say, the workload is not small, and the money is not a small amount." ”
Li An drank half a bowl of porridge beside him in three or two sips, and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Isn't there an old saying, take it from the people, use it for the people."
Duan Yingfeng was able to get through at one point, and he frowned:
"You mean, ask the neighbors to pay for it."
"Even if you don't want to give something in return, you have to do what you can. The walled city is not just a walled city for the two of you, but also a walled city for all the inhabitants.
And then there are the factory owners, who give a lot of money to the community every month. Without the squeeze of the community, they should also contribute some money.
What's more, this money is used to improve the walled city, and it is not put into your pockets personally.
You can set up a walled city committee, that is, the walled city welfare committee to manage the walled city. For financial matters, all the residents of the walled city can supervise. ”
In fact, what Ang Lee proposed is similar to the property in the community.
Without the squeeze of the community, the residents of the walled city pay a little property management fee every month, and the welfare will use this money to maintain the security management of the walled city and the maintenance of public facilities.
Hua Man pondered for a while, pursed her lips, and spoke softly:
"I think Ang Lee's proposal is good. Fifteen years ago, there were not many people in the walled city, so everyone could discuss and work together.
But now there are nearly 30,000 people in the walled city, and in addition to restraining the community, you also have to manage such a large walled city, and the two of you must be incapable of separating yourself, and someone must help.
Everyone has to beg for a living to support their families, and without wages, who wants to waste a lot of time on this matter in vain. ”
After saying this, she looked at Ang Li and changed her words:
"But the current problem is how to convince the neighbors of the city that the Welfare Association is not the next association."
Li An smiled and raised his eyes to look at Duan Yingfeng:
"Then it's up to him."
"Me?" Duan Yingfeng pointed at himself.
Li An nodded: "I think there should still be many people in the walled city who remember your father's kindness, and it is only fitting for you to come forward."
However, many times people are forgetful.
If you want to make the neighbors believe in you, one is to give them a sense of security, and the other is to give them benefits and let them see tangible benefits. ”
The boxer interjected:
"For welfare, of course, we should start with the public water pipes, and snatch the wells and public water pipes from the hands of those associations, so that everyone will not need money to receive water in the future.
Also, isn't Bi De a water delivery foreman? Without the club's commission, we can let him deliver water to the neighbors cheaper. When there will be money for the welfare later, then connect the water pipe step by step to the door. ”
Duan Yingfeng glanced at the boxer in some surprise:
"You usually like to fight with people so strongly, but I didn't expect to have so many ideas."
The boxer's eyes widened: "Hey, tooth guy, what do you mean by that?" ”
"No, I'm joking."
Duan Yingfeng replied with a smile.
"Since you agreed, it was decided. Now that the hometown association has collapsed, the two of you have just set up a welfare association while the iron is hot.
The batch of pink bricks of Fushoujin was used to destroy in public, and it could also accumulate prestige. ”
Duan Yingfeng was stunned: "You brought it up, didn't you participate?" ”
"I'm pretty much the same with a false name."
Li An smiled when he heard this, and said:
"I have my own business to do and don't have the extra energy to put into it."
He didn't shirk what he said, and when the store in the walled city opened and was on the right track, of course, he would take advantage of the abundant funds in his hand to expand his business.
There are also things on the dock, and a lot of things waiting for him, and there is really no time to meddle in the affairs of the walled city.
Ang Lee also never thought that he would make money through welfare.
There are opportunities to make money, and money can be earned slowly, but people can't have no conscience.
can endure the chaos of the walled city, and those who live here are those who are struggling below the subsistence line.
Duan Yingfeng is cold and hot-hearted, and the boxer is enthusiastic.
Li An believes that the two of them will definitely be able to manage the affairs of the welfare association, and every money can be spent on improving the living conditions of the residents of the walled city.
Won't be the next dragon.
So Ang Lee didn't plan to get too involved in the city at all.
He just took advantage of the siege of the walled city to take precautions and raise some men.
"That's right."
Duan Yingfeng was obviously a little disappointed.
With Ang Lee's efforts, if he is willing to come forward to preside over the welfare meeting, there is no doubt that things will go much smoother next.
Li An saw Duan Yingfeng's expression in his eyes, and said with a smile:
"I'm sure you and the boxer can do their part."
"Absolutely!"
Duan Yingfeng's eyes were firm and calm, and these three words were also said extremely hard.
"Of course, if you have any difficulties, you can also come to me."
Ang Lee added.
"Okay."
Duan Yingfeng nodded.
After finishing the matter, Li An saw that the three of them had almost eaten, and stood up.
"Let's go, you eat slowly, I still have something to do."
The three of them nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.
"Boss, how much?"
"One piece two."
After paying, Ang Lee turned around and left.
Now that more than half an hour has passed, in addition to being a little worried, Li An also wants to see if there are any members of the killer organization to collect Yang Zhuluan's body.
The boxer put down the spoon and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Tooth guy, when do you think we're going to set up a welfare club?"
At this time, the boxers were in high spirits.
From the first day he came to the walled city, he felt a great sense of loss when he found that the place where he lived as a child had become a hotbed of sin.
Now that I can help, I have the opportunity to change the status quo of the walled city, and I am happy and a little impatient.
"There's no rush for now."
Duan Yingfeng shook his head slowly.
After thinking for a while, his heart turned a thousand times, and then he looked up at Hua Man and the boxer.
Finally, he sighed and said with a serious expression:
"We have one more thing to solve before we set up a welfare club."
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the look on Duan Yingfeng's face, the boxer's face became much more serious.
Duan Yingfeng's face was calm:
"Fifteen years ago, it was our Duan Eight Poles who were sorry for Master Chao.
If it weren't for my uncle's cowardice, greed for life and fear of death, he would not have been coerced by Yang Zhuluan to wronged the master and forced your mother to death.
And you brothers and sisters have been separated for fifteen years.
Now that Yang Zhuluan, the real murderer, is dead, I think it's time to return his innocence to the master. ”
Hearing this, the boxer and Hua Man fell silent for a while.
At the beginning, because of his father's affairs, the boxer has always been obsessed with it, and he feels guilty about the neighborhoods of the walled city, and he is reluctant to fight even Bajiquan.
And Hua Man has been burdened with hatred for fifteen years for this.
Although Yang Zhuluan is the mastermind behind the scenes, it was Duan Zhijiang who forced his parents to death in the stone house
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became silent.
After a long while, Duan Yingfeng stood up first.
"Let's go, my uncle is at the clinic.
People who have done something wrong have to pay it back. What happened back then, our Duan Baji should give you brothers and sisters an explanation. ”
The boxer and Hua Man silently stood up and followed Duan Yingfeng.
The three of them had their own concerns, and on the way to the clinic, they were all a little silent.
Come to the dentist's clinic located in the second lane of Longjin Road.
Seeing the light from the clinic, Duan Yingfeng, who was standing at the door, hesitated for a while and took a deep breath:
"Let's go inside."
He pushed open the door of the clinic.
The scene that caught his eye made the pupils of the three of them shrink for a while.
Duan Zhijiang drooped his head, sat by the wall with his body tilted, and looked at the door with a stagnant and empty look.
The blood stained on his face and chest had clotted into a dark red, and he had been dead for a long time.
Following.
The alley not far from Yang Zhuluan's body.
"Uncle Jun, have you found any suspicious people?"
"Nothing was found."
Li Jianjun shook his head.
No one came to check on the situation all night, and he had carefully observed the onlookers in the morning, but found nothing.
Ang Lee frowned.
It stands to reason that Yang Zhuluan, as the person in charge of the killer organization, should have someone come to check the situation when he dies.
But now that the night has passed, there is no suspicious person, which seems to be a little abnormal.
Or are these killer organizations so alert?
Li An raised his eyes to look at the crowd of onlookers and looked carefully.
His eyes swept over the residents who were talking about it, and just when he had gained nothing, he suddenly saw a figure walking over from the corner of his eye.
It was a young man, who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a white shirt, gray trousers, and a Sven look.
But Ang Lee's eyes lit up, and he looked at the other party without a trace.
At this time, the young man, like other passers-by, was squeezing into the crowd with curiosity on his face.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the young man, a smile appeared on Li An's face.
"Isn't that coming?"
Hearing this, Li Jianjun looked in the direction of Li An's finger, and at a glance saw the young man walking towards the crowd of onlookers.
It didn't seem to be anything special, but with Ang Lee's reminder and careful observation, the young man's vigilant movements from time to time to turn his head to observe the surrounding environment still made him look out of place with the surrounding crowd.
And the reason why Ang Lee was able to recognize the other party so quickly was also due to his understanding of the characters of Hong Kong Zong.
Jay Chen.
Codename Jiachen.
Last time, the boxer mentioned that he came to the city to visit Diao Lan's friend.
Diao Lan was able to break away from the killer organization without being hunted down because of Jia Chen.
It's just that what makes Li An strange is that shouldn't the other party take advantage of Yang Zhuluan's death to take Diao Lan away and fly away?
"Isn't this Boss Yang? The last time I went to his shop to buy a bowl cake for a child, how did I die here? ”
A man dressed as a coolie pointed to Yang Zhuluan's corpse and exclaimed.
Someone next to him took over:
"Yesterday morning, the bowl cake shop was smashed by Ke Wanchang and others, and I heard that Boss Yang had another fight with someone behind him, and the walls collapsed."
"Really?" The coolie was visibly unconvinced.
The man pointed to the wall behind him:
"You see, there's a big hole in the wall here."
The coolie was speechless for a moment.
"Maybe this Boss Yang was just too good at kung fu to be shot to death."
The crowd exchanged heads, and the young man looked at Yang Zhuluan's body quietly.
After listening to the crowd for a while, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
