Chapter 46: The Dragon Gate (1)

Uncle Nine on the shop drank stuffy wine, and the fat man could only continue to talk to Tang Lu alone.

"The shooting at the Living-Tiger Men's Hospital, what shooting? I haven't heard of it. The fat man shook his head.

"This case is you...... It was made by our people from Longmen, will you not know?" Tang Lu could only ask this fat man surnamed Liao.

"Hehe, little friend, the entire Dragon Gate is so big, not to mention the leaders above, there are tens of thousands of brothers in the upper and lower three halls, most of them are in Xincheng.

On average, among the thousands of transactions in Xincheng every day, there are Longmen who handle or participate, at least one-tenth.

With so many deals, how could Uncle Nine and I know them all?" replied the fat man.

"......" Tang Xuan.

He didn't think the fat man was lying.

Besides, if the murderers in his previous life were Uncle Jiu and this fat man surnamed Liao, it would be too much of a coincidence.

"Brother Liao, I want to ask, if I want to know that the shooting at the Shenglong Huohu Men's Hospital is in Longmen...... Which brother in the dragon gate did it, how should I find out?" Tang Lu asked directly.

The "......" fat man seemed a little shocked.

"Kid, I think you're really stupid with your head, aren't you? You mean you want to check on our own people? Hehe, I heard you right?" the fat man was obviously laughing at him.

Tang Yi also felt that he was a little anxious.

So far, he hadn't even figured out what the hell a dragon gate was.

"Brother Liao, that's the case, I did have a car accident some time ago, and I can't remember many things, and I almost don't even know Uncle Nine.

I was able to meet you in the detention center this time, and it just so happened that Uncle Nine valued me so much, and he was willing to take me with him in the future, of course I couldn't ask for it!

So I came back tonight on purpose, in addition to being loyal to Uncle Nine, in fact, I also wanted to ask you about something, something I accidentally forgot.

For example, what is our Longmen for? What is the core positioning, organizational structure, historical traceability and service tenet of Longmen?

Only by understanding these things can I figure out why I joined Longmen without hesitation, so as to establish a correct set of values, establish a good political orientation, and serve Longmen wholeheartedly, contribute to Longmen's cause, and at the same time, it is also to be able to better serve Uncle Jiu. ”

"......" fat man.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Uncle Nine on the bed.

The first bottle of two pots was already empty, and Uncle Nine lay down on the shop and posed with the word "big".

A rare snoring sound was heard.

Uncle Nine didn't answer, does it mean that he has tacitly agreed that he wants to answer questions for this "little fan"?

The fat man thought for a while, then gestured to Tang Lu and beckoned him to come to the corner of the cell together, so as not to disturb Uncle Jiu's rest.

"Smack!" the fat man lit a cigarette and gave one to Tang Liu.

Tang Yi also lit a cigarette and cheered up all his spirits.

He knew that the riddle about the Dragon Gate was going to be revealed tonight!

............

"Do you know that heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang?" the fat man let out a puff of smoke.

"......" Tang Xuan.

He could only nod.

Then he shook his head again.

Because he had no idea what the fat man was trying to ask.

The fat man made a very high tone, and then talked eloquently:

"Yin and yang are yin and yang, and where there is yin there is yang, and where there is yang there is yin.

It's like black and white, heaven and earth, day and night, male and female, male and female, etc., everything in the world can actually be classified into two opposing camps - opposing each other, but they are interdependent and indispensable.

Therefore, the rules of the world are the same and can be divided into two categories:

One is the rules on the surface, and the other is the rules in the secret.

From ancient times to the present, up and down for 5,000 years, it has never changed!

If you put it in the past, in ancient times a little more represent, this principle is easy to understand.

For example, the imperial court, the height of the temple represents the rules on the surface;

For example, martial arts, living far away from the rivers and lakes, represents the rules in the dark.

The two complement each other and together form the rules of this world.

However, most of the time in the past, the imperial court was in an absolute advantage, so the world could only see the rules on the surface, and the martial arts, which represented the rules in the dark, could only act in the dark and could not see the light.

Similarly, at certain times, the martial arts, which represent the rules in secret, have become the masters, and they are even more capable of controlling the court in the dark.

In this regard, since you still remember that you have read a lot of martial arts novels, I will not explain much.

Let's go back to the dragon gate.

It's like this city. The so-called government, army, police, etc., etc., actually represent only the rules on the surface, and the rules in the secret can be said to be basically our dragon gate!

"......" Tang Xuan.

He was a little depressed.

This fat man said a lot of nonsense, in fact, it can be explained in one sentence:

Dragon Gate is a gangster society, an underworld gang!

But he noticed that the fat man mentioned the word "martial arts". Could it be that in today's society, there is still "martial arts"?

It's like Brother Leopard, the security guard in the hotel, the murderer in the elevator and the green-haired boy, including Uncle Nine and the fat man in the cell in front of him.

Are these people all "martial arts people"?

Tang Lu asked with this, and the fat man smiled:

"Martial arts?

Let's put it this way, with the large-scale production and use of firearms, with the rapid development of science and technology, the traditional way of warfare has been completely changed, and the era of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons is long gone.

In such a context, the martial arts advocated by everyone in the past have actually lost their meaning, and they seem to be particularly cost-effective.

There is a good saying - no matter how high the martial arts are, you are afraid of bullets!

Not to mention far away, let's just say that during the Anti-Japanese War, there were many masters in Longmen who joined the Anti-Japanese War, all of them were good at practicing martial arts for many years, but most of them were killed by stray bullets, and many people didn't even see the appearance of the enemy.

In the face of such a reality, who do you say is willing to get up early in the morning and be greedy for darkness, smell the chickens and dance, and practice those martial arts that have long been eliminated by the times?

Coupled with the years of war and turmoil in the old society, many powerful martial arts have gradually been lost. Most of the martial arts that have been circulated on the market today are cultural performances that carry forward traditions and revive Chinese culture.

And the so-called 'martial arts' has completely reduced to a joke!"

Tang Tao nodded.

The fat man's answer is very logical and reasonable.

That's what he's always thought.

However, the fat man's words changed sharply, and then he said:

"But!

Although martial arts have existed in name only, it does not mean that there are no more martial arts in the world, and there are no more people who practice martial arts!

You should understand that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, unlike many Western countries, in our country, firearms have been completely banned. Although there are ways to get guns, it is too difficult and the impact is not good, so on behalf of those of us who secretly follow the rules, many of us choose to re-practice martial arts.

After all, people who do business on the road often rely on fists and feet and cold weapons.

For example, the so-called 'one door, two sects, three gangs and four evils' in Xincheng are basically people who practice martial arts. And those of us no longer call ourselves 'people in the martial arts' or 'people in the rivers and lakes', but call ourselves 'people on the road' in a very low-key way.

"......" Tang Xuan.

He understood.

He has seen several people who know martial arts, and they are obviously all the so-called "people on the road" of the fat man.

The fat man continued:

"As for the Longmen where we are located, as the head of Xincheng's 'one door, two sects, three factions and four evils', retrospectively, it has a long and enduring history, and even existed in the Ming Dynasty.

In the more than 600 years of history of Longmen, no matter who the ruler who represents the rules on the surface, Longmen has always been able to maintain a good relationship with them by standing in line in a timely and accurate manner.

As I said earlier, everything in the world has to be divided into 'yin and yang'. If you want to rule the world, in addition to the rules on the surface, you can't do without the rules in the dark. Only when the two exist at the same time can they go hand in hand.

Just like the island nation next door, after World War II, the local police could not manage law and order at all, and had to rely on gangs that represented secret rules to maintain social order, and their officials still recognized the legitimacy of gangs.

And here in us, at least in this Xin City, Longmen, as a representative of the rules in secret, has reached a good tacit understanding with the rulers above after decades of running-in. Not only do they not interfere with each other, but there is even a lot of cooperation in private.

Just like when the police are in trouble, they often come to us Longmen to solve the problem; in the same way, the police basically turn a blind eye to our Longmen affairs, and give the green light if they can open the green light.

Because of this, this time Uncle Nine encountered a little trouble and needed to find a safe place to avoid the limelight, so Uncle Nine and I would stay in the detention center of the police station and use the power of the police to cover up, so as to avoid Uncle Nine's enemies. ”

"......" Tang Xuan.

He could only silently digest this large pile of information.

Anyway, he still admires the fat man surnamed Liao in front of him, who can portray a "gangster club" so tall, he is indeed a talent!
