Throwing the bloodstained cigarette gun back into the pool of blood, Zheng Jirong took out a handkerchief and asked while wiping his hands: "In addition to this Brother Chen and the second master, who else is the decision-making level of the Axe Gang?" ”

"It's gone!"

The master who came back to his senses hurriedly trotted over, he glanced at Chen Chen, who had been beaten beyond recognition, and said flatteringly to Zheng Jirong: "Now as long as you gather the gangs in various territories, Brother Rong, you will be a veritable leader of the Axe Gang!" ”

"Hmm"

Zheng Jirong swept around the hall, paced to a sofa and sat down, just as he took out his cigar and was about to light it, the lighter in his master's hand had already reached over.

Call.

After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Zheng Jirong raised his eyes and looked at the nightclub and said, "This is also the industry of your Axe Gang? ”

"Yes", the master nodded and said: "The entire Zhabei including Hongkou in the east, is the biggest and hottest in our [Triple Heaven], not only the quality of the young lady is high, but even the White Russian woman has it!" ”

"Really?"

Zheng Jirong turned his head to look around, and asked casually, "Then why can't you see any of them?" ”

Hearing this, the master smiled and explained: "It's only noon, and the ladies are sleeping in the back, Brother Rong, if you want to play, I'll go and ask them all to come out now." ”

"Forget it, let's wait for the evening."

Then, Zheng Jirong asked some of the Axe Gang's means of getting money, and the result was not what he expected, under the leadership of Chen Chen, the current Axe Gang can be said to be doing all kinds of evil.

The first is to open underground casinos, and at the same time to extract profits and distribute loan sharks with extremely high interest rates to those customers who gamble.

The second is the smuggling of tobacco and even arms, I have to say that Chen Chen is really bold, after this guy took the line of the Dongying people, he bought tobacco and guns from them at a high price, and then resold these at a higher price, and accumulated a lot of wealth by making money over the years.

The third is to issue fake job postings, trafficking people to build railways abroad, according to the master, so far more than a dozen batches of middle-aged laborers have been sold, and a lot of money has been made.

Of course, as a hi gang, they have not been less involved in collecting protection money and kidnapping for ransom.

"Special", Zheng Jirong scolded: "Now the reputation of the Axe Gang has become stinky? ”

"Eh, that's all in the past, now that you have your leadership, Brother Rong, our Axe Gang will definitely reproduce the reputation and reputation of the Wang Gang Leader when he was in power."

After speaking, he hesitated for a while and asked, "Brother Rong, since you are the helper now, do you want to go to the Japanese Concession to pay a visit to the dock?" ”

"Bact!"

Zheng Jirong said in a deep voice: "It's good if I don't make trouble for them, how can I have time to worship their dock?" ”

"But now these big gangs on the beach are either supported by government executives or foreigners as backers, if we don't worship anyone's dock, sooner or later they will be eaten by other gangs."

Zheng Jirong waved his hand disappreciatively after hearing his words, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." ”

"All you have to do now is to gather all the members of the gang for me, tell them about changing the gang leader, and if anyone is not happy, let them get out."

"Understood!"

After the master nodded in response, he raised his eyes and asked carefully: "If there are hard bones that don't know how to lift?"

"Hehe", Zheng Jirong smiled, pointed at Peng Yixing and said: "Ah Xing will go with you, I think their bones will not be hard no matter how hard they are." ”

The master thought of Peng Yixing's amazing marksmanship when he appeared just now, and immediately patted his chest with confidence and promised: "Don't worry, Brother Rong, I promise to bring back at least half of the members for you." ”

Halfway? Isn't that just over a thousand?

It seems that we still have to recruit people again in the past two days.

Zheng Jirong flicked the ashes of his cigarette, then looked at the two suitcases on the table and asked, "What's in here?" ”

When the master heard this, he picked up a suitcase and weighed it twice, and after unbuttoning it, he saw a box full of banknotes, and when he saw that it was filled with money, he also understood, and explained to Zheng Jirong:

"Brother Rong, this money was given to us by the people from the garrison headquarters yesterday, a full 100,000 silver dollars, as an apology from our Axe Gang to the Bai family."

As soon as he heard that it was the Bai family, Zheng Jirong suddenly thought that Bai Xiuzhu had told him at the previous cocktail party that he had contacted his uncle in the military department, and he would help him solve the matter of the Axe Gang.

Looking at the bulging banknotes stuffing the entire suitcase, Zheng Jirong tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"It seems to be an adjutant," the master recalled: "After that guy broke into the nightclub with a large team of Qiu Ba, he picked up Brother Chen's neck and gave him a few slaps on the head, saying that the Axe Gang had offended their niece of Commander Bai, and if he wanted to live, he would raise 100,000 silver dollars for military expenses and send it over to apologize." ”

"Wait", Zheng Jirong, who heard the key words, immediately raised his head and asked, "You just said Commander Bai?" ”

"Yes", the master replied: "Bai Chongxi, the supreme commander of the Songhu Garrison Command, damn, I didn't expect this chick's background to be so hard!" ”

Zheng Jirong took a deep breath on the cigar in his hand when he heard this, Bai Xiuzhu and his uncle turned out to be the highest military commander in Shanghai Tang.

"Brother Rong, do we still need to continue to send this money?"

The master looked at Zheng Jirong, who was speechless, pointed to the suitcase and said: "Brother Rong, aren't you the life-saving benefactor of Bai Xiuzhu, now that the Axe Gang is in charge of you, Bai Chongxi has no reason to ask us for money anymore, right?" ”

"Send!"

Zheng Jirong stood up directly from the sofa, and said with the corners of his mouth raised: "Of course I want to send it!" And you can't send it. ”

"Then who will deliver it?"

"I'll take Bai Xiuzhu and send it in person!"

French Concession, Haig Road.

In a garden house, Bai Xiuzhu hung up the phone angrily and explained to the servant on the side: "If you receive a call from my brother in the future, you don't need to call me, you just hang up!" ”

"This"

Several servants couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, they were just subordinates of the family, how could they dare to hang up the phone of the master's house.

Seeing that they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, Bai Xiuzhu sighed and waved her hand and said, "Okay, you all go down." ”

After waiting for her to be the only one left in the living room, Bai Xiuzhu angrily hammered the armrest of the sofa beside her twice, and just now her brother, who was the vice premier of Beiping, called her again to urge her to go back.

It is normal for her brother to urge her sister to go home, but Bai Xiuzhu knows what her brother is urging her to go back for in such a hurry, it is nothing more than to let her and Jin Yanxi, the son of the prime minister's family, enhance her relationship.

In fact, for Jin Yanxi, Bai Xiuzhu used to like him very much, after all, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the elders have been matching, so Bai Xiuzhu herself is not disgusted with him in her heart.

But just a few months ago, she suddenly found out that Jin Yanxi was openly pursuing a female student in front of her, which made her how could she bear it, disappointed and angry, she came directly to her hometown in the south on the grounds of visiting relatives.

Originally, her idea was to hang Jin Yanxi for a few days and wait for her brother to urge her to go back, but now Bai Xiuzhu has no idea of going back at all.

She carefully took out a piece of letterhead from her pocket, on which was the love poem that Zheng Jirong had written to her at the previous drinking party.

Looking at the affection overflowing between the lines, Bai Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel numb, on one side was the prime minister's son of a childhood sweetheart, and on the other side was a talented and ambitious life-saving benefactor.

Thinking of this, she stomped her foot a little irritably, and when she caught a glimpse of the cigarette case that had been left by her uncle when he was a guest, she took out a cigarette from it and lit it to her mouth.

As soon as he lit the cigarette butt, a familiar voice came from outside the living room.

"You still smoke?"

She hurriedly turned her head to look, and when she saw the person who came, Bai Xiuzhu was surprised: "How did you get in?" ”

Zheng Jirong pointed to the outside of the gate, "The wall of your house is only more than two meters high, so you can't come in if you turn over." ”

"You came in over the wall?"

Bai Xiuzhu suddenly laughed and said: "You go out quickly, otherwise I will call the police to arrest you for trespassing on the house." ”

"Isn't the phone right at your hand, if you want to call the police, you can report it, and I won't stop you."

Hearing his words, Bai Xiuzhu snorted angrily, although she ignored Zheng Jirong, she didn't call the police as she said.

Zheng Jirong smiled when he saw this, walked across from her, sat directly on the wooden coffee table and looked at Bai Xiuzhu and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, do you smoke?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong", Bai Xiuzhu asked back, "Do you want one too?" ”

"Okay", Zheng Jirong directly raised his hand to take off the cigarette she lit, took a deep breath at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The taste is a little choking, not suitable for you girls to smoke, thank you." ”

"Shame on you!"

Bai Xiuzhu's face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed.

There is still her saliva on the cigarette holder, and she was actually swallowed by Zheng Jirong, isn't this a kiss in disguise?

And Zheng Jirong smiled as usual: "I don't like women who smoke very much." ”

"Who wants you to like it!" Bai Xiuzhu said angrily, but she didn't know what she thought, she really didn't take out any more cigarettes.

Zheng Jirong then looked at a piece of letterhead on the table, picked it up and looked at it, and then said meaningfully: "Huh? Isn't this the love poem I wrote to Miss Bai before, could it be that Miss Bai has been reading this poem just now? ”

"Don't worry about it", Bai Xiuzhu pulled the letterhead from his hand with a flushed cheek.

Seeing this, Zheng Jirong raised the corners of his mouth and said: "This poem is still written in a bit of a hurry, next time I have the opportunity, I will write a more meaningful love poem and give it to Miss Bai." ”

Hearing his words, for some reason, Bai Xiuzhu secretly expected what kind of love poem Zheng Jirong would write to her, but she still pretended to be reserved on the surface and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zheng Jirong no longer continued to tease her, and said directly: "Do you remember the axe that offended you that day?" ”

"Remember," Bai Xiuzhu said, "my uncle said that he had already solved it for me, so I didn't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Zheng Jirong nodded and continued: "Although your uncle is in a high position, he did not directly destroy this gang, but sent someone to teach their gang leader a lesson, and then asked him to apologize for 100,000 oceans. ”

"Isn't that nice?"

Bai Xiuzhu replied: "None of us were injured, it's just that the hotel was smashed and needs to be renovated, so it's okay to lose money." ”

"Confused!"

Zheng Jirong frowned and said: "These Hi gang gangs do all kinds of evil, and they will be revenged, if you don't beat them this time, these guys will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you afterwards." ”

"Then I'll tell my uncle again?"

"No need", Zheng Jirong waved his hand and said: "Just an hour ago, I went to the base camp of their Axe Gang and got rid of their gang leader, and no one will have the courage to retaliate against you in the future." ”

"Oh!"

Bai Xiuzhu got up in shock and said, "You and you are going to kill their helper alone for me?" ”

"Pretty much."

"Then you're not hurt, are you?"

Bai Xiuzhu looked Zheng Jirong up and down carefully, and when she saw that there was no blood on the wound, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and she said urgently: "Even if you like me, you can't take such a risk, if something happens to you, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?" ”

Seeing that this girl had successfully made up for her brain so quickly, Zheng Jirong smiled and said indifferently: "It's just a gang of people who bully the good, killing them can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven, and I also have a little selfishness in it." ”

Hearing his words, Bai Xiuzhu's face blushed slightly and said, "You don't need to say it anymore, I know everything." ”

“.”

Zheng Jirong was silent, he coughed lightly and didn't explain much, but changed his words: "Speaking of which, the Axe Gang was also known for its chivalry back then, but I didn't expect that after Wang Daxia's death, he would have fallen to such a point. ”

"I have also heard Wang Yaqiao's name in Beiping", Bai Xiuzhu nodded and said: "Although the subsection is damaged, there is no loss in righteousness, and it is indeed called the name of the hero." ”

"Xiuzhu."

Zheng Jirong suddenly looked at her and said, "I am now the leader of the Axe Gang. ”

Bai Xiuzhu was stunned when she heard this, and after reacting, she immediately raised her hand and slapped Zheng Jirong's arm twice, glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you crazy, what are you doing when you join the Hi Gang!" ”

"I didn't join?"

Zheng Jirong spread his hands and said: "I directly became the boss of the Hi Gang, and I didn't want to, but after those guys saw that their boss was dead, not only did they not think about revenge, but they even bowed to me, and they almost didn't put a yellow robe on me." ”

"Then you can't be a Hi Gang", Bai Xiuzhu said urgently: "My brother is the vice premier, if you don't go into politics, forget it, how can you be the boss of the Hi Gang." ”

Hearing this girl's words, Zheng Jirong immediately understood her intentions, and he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my Hi Gang boss is only temporary, and it will only be a few months at most." ”

"I don't care how long you should be!"

Bai Xiuzhu sat down on the sofa angrily, tilted her head directly to the other side, and didn't look at the man opposite.

Seeing her sulking appearance, Zheng Jirong raised and sat next to her, and then approached her and said, "Xiuzhu, do you remember what I said before, the reason why I came back from abroad is to save the country and save the people." ”

"You are talking nonsense", Bai Xiuzhu didn't reply: "If you really want to save the country and save the people, you won't be the boss of the Hi Gang." ”

"Eh, saving the country and saving the people is not in conflict with the Hi Gang, didn't you praise Wang Yaqiao for being a hero before."

Hearing this, Bai Xiuzhu turned her head to look at him and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zheng Jirong looked at her and said, "How about introducing me to your uncle?" ”

"Uncle? He's very busy at work, and it's rare for me to see him myself. ”

"Don't worry, you just need to tell him that someone is willing to help him raise money for the army."
