History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 31 Ningbo Guild Hall
Lin Datou is a sturdy, fat-headed, and simple-looking driver. He usually wears an ill-fitting jacket when he goes out. His main job is to open the door for big bosses.

At the same time, he works part-time as the driver of six well-known big bosses, and he also has time to serve as the seat of the old club "Fu Yixing" on Hong Kong Island. In his spare time, he does some fighting and killing things.

Fu Yixing is the oldest surviving society on Hong Kong Island. It has a history of more than 70 years. It was a hometown society formed by Fujian merchants when they went to Nanyang. There are many pirates entrenched in the sea. The pirates commonly known as "Da Tian Er" have guns and cannons, and their equipment once surpassed that of the Qing army.

It is a pity that the earliest Fujian merchants who went to Nanyang did not regard Hong Kong Island as a base, but moved to Southeast Asia, Japan Island, Taiwan Island, Europe and the United States to develop. Otherwise, the largest force in Hong Kong Island should be Fujian merchants. The Shanghai Ziqi also developed to Hong Kong Island during the war.

The changes in history have caused the "old fortune" who stayed on Hong Kong Island to lose their backing and gradually weakened. They can only rely on the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce and some overseas Chinese bosses, who are not very powerful in associations. "Old Fortune" is the signboard of the top club, but in terms of strength, it can be regarded as a medium-sized club at best.

At this time, Lin Datou drove Shao Zuiweng's black BMW to Shek Kip Mei. The dome was handsome and the arc was smooth. The egg-like BMW attracted a lot of attention as soon as it arrived at the intersection.

Lin Datou pushed the car door and stood beside the car with a straight posture, with piercing eyes and a loud breath, he asked, "Mr. He, Boss Shao invites you to go."

Wu Shihao, Zhu Youzai and others turned their eyes to the boss. He Dingxian didn't expect that someone would come to drive him. When he heard Boss Shao's name, he really wanted to take a ride in a beautiful antique car.

Lin Datou saw a young man walk out of the movie store, and sat in the back row skillfully, with a surprised expression, he didn't say much, closed the door, started the car, and drove to the pier.

At the Kowloon City Ferry, a chartered passenger ferry was already waiting in the water. The car drove straight through the pier and boarded the ferry. The car stopped at the front of the deck. He Dingxian didn't even get off the car. He lit a cigarette in the car and smoked it.

A little bumping and shaking did not cause discomfort to people. The ferry arrived at North Point in the wind and waves. The car drove off the pier again and came to a Chinese-style clubhouse in Shek Pai Wan, Repulse Bay. The four gold-plated block letters "Ningbo Guild Hall" tell you that you have come to the land of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, and you don't know if you are alive or dead when you step in.

He is used to the life of robbing banks, and he is even more used to pinning his head on his waist. Even after a few days of comfortable life, the wildness in his bones can't be worn away. When he walked into the gate of the club calmly, he saw a water tank in the vestibule that was full, with blisters from time to time. The slate floor was also covered with water stains.

Four beating boys in black, each holding a bamboo pole, knocked down hard if someone raised his head in the water tank.

Zhao Yutang, Zeng Shaoke, Qiu Degeng, Chen Li, and a middle-aged man with an angry face and an ugly expression were sitting on the guest seat. The five of them all turned their eyes to look at him together, and Qiu De looked even more frightened. The middle-aged man has sharp eyes and a bad expression.

Wearing a black mandarin jacket, with a mustache and glasses, a gentle and elegant big boss stood in front of the dining table and said, "Welcome, Mr. He."

He Dingxian ignored Shao Zuiweng's yin and yang aura, but stood at attention and saluted, and shouted: "Hello, sir!"

He greeted each other one by one, then nodded to the host, and finally stood guard at the bottom of the stairs.

Shao Zuiweng asked the four officers to sit on the chairs and wait for him to start the meal. It seemed that he was showing great courtesy, but if he really wanted to sit on the chairs, Zhao Yutang would stop talking. The fault must be a big shot, and the appearance of Inspector Guan Zeng and Inspector Chen is likely to be Inspector Zonghua "Liu Fu"...

When Zhao Yutang wants to punish him, and Liu Fu wants to punish him, maybe Zeng Shaoke and Chen Li will be dissatisfied. The businessman is really cunning and cunning, and he wants to trick him!
Shao Zuiweng saw that He Dingxian's advances and retreats were well-founded and quick-witted, so he stopped pushing, waved his hands and laughed, and sat back to greet the detectives for dinner.

The whole dinner lasted about two hours, and the moon was already high at the end. The atmosphere during the dinner was hot and cold, and there was very little laughter.

Pushing cups and changing cups is frequent.

He Dingxian stood with his waist straight, motionless on the steps in front of the middle hall until his legs became numb, but as long as no one called him in, he was considered safe.

As for what the officers talked about at the wine table, he doesn't know anything now, but he will know what he should know.

At this time, the polite words of farewell to each other were already heard in the hall. Zeng Shaoke and Chen Li soon came out behind a middle-aged man. Shouted: "Kill him!"

He Dingxian's heart twitched suddenly, and the four puppies beside the water tank stabbed the bamboo poles into the tank without hesitation. The people in the tank were still struggling with edema all over their bodies. It was torn apart, revealing Zhao Zhiyuan's pale and bubbly face. A boy in a black shirt pulled out a dagger with a ferocious face, stepped forward and wiped Zhao Zhiyuan's neck with a knife. Zhao Zhiyuan's expression pupils twitched twice and then lost their movement, leaving only the mournful pupils slowing down. Zoom in slowly.

The water on the ground was smudged red little by little, the person who spoke has already walked out of the gate, and the person who treated the guests didn't even show their faces, and they walked around the middle hall and left from the back hall.

After Chen Li sent Zeng Shaoke and Liu Fu to the rickshaw, he turned around and waved inside. He Dingxian obeyed the order and walked out of the Ningbo Guild Hall, standing at attention again and saluting: "Sir!"

"Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me. How can you put any officer in your eyes? It's hard to pretend to be a good boy at night, isn't it?"

Under the night at the entrance of the guild hall, Chen Li was smoking an old-fashioned pipe, and his eyes were playful when he spoke, while He Dingxian said with a smile: "I am very happy to be able to walk out of the guild hall safely, some people may want to go out sideways."

He glanced back at the corpse on the ground. Chen Li put his arms around his shoulders with a blushing face, and said with a breath of alcohol, "Look for a place to chat while eating noodles. Damn, I just came here to drink and talk about things. I don't even have a bowl of rice." finish eating."

He Dingxian stretched out his hand to wave to the corner of the alley, and a familiar person ran out pulling a rickshaw. He Dingxian said: "Sir, the car is here."

"Well, you do things, I don't worry." Chen Li got into the rickshaw and was in a happy mood. The expression on his face was very helpful for the preparation of his subordinates.
