20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 564: The People of the World (Part )
The door opened and closed, and in the blink of an eye it was already dusk the next day.

In the suburbs of Shanghai County, in the charity cemetery under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Gang's Shanghai Association, two coffins were parked in front of the hall, one of which contained Yin Baokun and the other contained Liu Yansheng.

The two doors were pushed open, and a large, sturdy figure appeared on the ground.

At this moment, many "Cantonese gang" guys were standing on both sides of the hall.

Greeted by "Brother Meng", the visitor slowly walked into the lobby of the charity cemetery, came to the altar, held three incense sticks in his hand above his head, faced Yin Baokun's tablet, and bowed three times respectfully.

After burning incense, he suddenly turned around and glanced at everyone present with a dignified look.

But this man had a dark face, thick waist and tiger back, with a shocking scar on his cheek under his ear. Although he was not tall, his aura overwhelmed many "Guangdong Gang" leaders present.

When the other guys met his gaze, they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Only Cheng Maoling and Lai Chunbao remained calm and were able to look the leader of the "Cantonese Gang" - "The Trouble in Heaven" Wang Huaimeng - in the eye.

"Who did it?"

"It's Wang Laojiu from the Axe Gang."

"Who the hell is Wang Laojiu?"

"He is the current leader of the Anhui Gang."

After a few questions and answers, Wang Huaimeng walked around the coffin and asked directly: "Have you prepared everything?"

"Brother Meng, don't worry. We have prepared all the necessary things, including guns, ammunition, clubs, and machetes."

The person who responded was Lai Chunbao.

In recent days, he has been in charge of the armament of the "Guangdong Gang".

As soon as he finished explaining the situation, Cheng Maoling said, "Brother Meng, just go ahead and fight as much as you can this time. I've already prepared everything for you regarding the official affairs. As for the other gangs, you don't have to worry about anything since Marshal Zhang has given his approval."

It was originally a few kind reminders, but Wang Huaimeng didn't think it would work. He snorted coldly and said:

"What the hell is Marshal Zhang? Who is he? Could it be that if he doesn't agree, I can't avenge Uncle Kun?"

It’s not that Wang Huaimeng is arrogant, but when he was making his way in the foreign land, Zhang Xiaolin was still the king of his small piece of land in his hometown.

Zhang Xiaolin came from the Green Gang, but Wang Huaimeng also came from the Hongmen, so they were naturally dissatisfied with their status as the "three tycoons".

Cheng Maoling laughed dryly and said, "Brother Meng, Marshal Zhang is now our ally. They are also fighting the Axe Gang. Now that Qing and Hong are inseparable, we are actually all in the same boat!"

"Bullshit, who told you that 'green and red are inseparable'?"

Wang Huaimeng was obviously a conservative, and he immediately retorted: "Green is green, red is red, they are fundamentally not the same kind of people, it's all because of you money-grubbers, just for a little money, you're shouting about 'green and red are inseparable'."

This is true.

Those who have always advocated that "the blue and the red are inseparable" are often the tycoons in the gangs.

The old men chatted and laughed cheerfully, but their brothers often fought each other until they were bleeding.

There was bloodshed in the process of Shiliyangchang eventually becoming the territory of the Green Gang, but many young people have forgotten this.

Cheng Maoling was one of the leaders of the "Guangdong Gang" after all. Now that he was scolded, he felt a little embarrassed and his face turned black immediately.

However, he really didn't have the courage to challenge the "Havoc in Heaven" poker table.

When others saw this, they began to persuade him: "Brother Meng, this is also the general trend!"

Wang Huaimeng waved his hand, not wanting to listen, and pointed to another coffin, asking, "Whose coffin is this?"

Lai Chunbao stepped forward and briefly introduced Liu Yansheng's origin and background in a few words.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suggested: "This Liu guy is actually a member of the Axe Gang. It was Uncle Kun who wanted to bring back the body. Now it seems that his kindness is in vain. We might as well just throw it out to feed the dogs."

The guys originally planned to continue talking in accordance with Wang Huaimeng's temper, but unexpectedly, after hearing Wang Huaimeng, he immediately raised his hand to stop them.

"Wait a minute, we are all in the martial arts world, and we all serve our own masters. It is natural and there is nothing to argue about. Besides, the dead are the most important, and he is from the same hometown as us. I, Wang Huaimeng, am not so despicable as to use his corpse to vent my anger."

Although Wang Huaimeng is a rough man, he likes Yin Baokun and likes to talk about Lao Linger.

In his opinion, since Uncle Kun acted as a guarantor and trouble broke out during the tea-talking incident, the Guangdong Gang should give an explanation to the Axe Gang. If they didn't, the Axe Gang coming with knives to arrest people wouldn't be considered breaking the rules. However, they went straight to the old man's house and killed him without any negotiation, which was somewhat unkind.

Now that the "Guangdong Gang" wants to fight back, that will be another story of grudges.

Everyone looked around and then looked at each other in silence.

At this moment, a cheer was heard from outside the door. Wang Huaimeng and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw two leaders of the "Chao Gang", one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, accompanied by a group of younger brothers, walking towards the charity cemetery with elegiac couplets and paper-made items.

"Okay, okay, well said!"

Wan Youyuan clapped his hands while stepping over the threshold and flattered, "Brother Meng is indeed a hero in the martial arts world. He can distinguish things clearly, has principles and bottom lines. It is a great blessing for the martial arts world that Brother Meng has returned to the foreign land!"

"Oh, who was that? It turns out to be Boss Wan!"

Wang Huaimeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the paper-made items brought by the "Chao Gang". He then smiled sarcastically: "Boss Wan, are you giving these paper-made items to Uncle Kun, or do they just happen to be useful at home?"

Although the Cantonese Gang and the Chaozhou Gang are generally from the same province and hometown, that is after all the relationship in the eyes of outsiders.

In fact, the relationship between these two famous business groups is quite subtle and difficult to describe.

In the early years, Wang Huaimeng had a feud with Wan Youyuan. Although the feud was resolved later, there were always some awkwardness between the two whenever they met. They just couldn't stand each other and felt an indescribable discomfort in their hearts.

Wan Youyuan's mouth twitched, and then he sneered: "Brother Meng is really too polite. My family won't need these things for a while. But the ones I sent today are probably a little less, and I'm afraid they won't be enough for you, the Guangdong Gang."

"Fuck you, I'll give it to you first!"

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are not enough when meeting a good friend, but a single word is too much when meeting an unfriendly person.

As soon as the two of them made eye contact, they began to argue with each other without saying a word.

The other brothers hurried to stop Wang Huai Meng, and persuaded him that it was not appropriate to fight before the funeral. Then they said, "Brother Meng, when the Axe Gang smashed the Three Friends Association, Boss Wan helped them. This is not appropriate. Calm down."

Cheng Maoling didn't want to offend anyone, so he immediately came to the door and whispered to comfort him, "Boss Wan, please forgive me, Brother Meng is in a bad mood now."

"Forget it."

Wan Youyuan waved his hand, then picked his ears, and said slightly sideways: "Master Ma and I came here because of Uncle Kun's face. After all, he is an old senior, and we young people have to show our gratitude."

As he spoke, the man beside him also clasped his fists and said respectfully, "I heard that Uncle Kun's body will be transported back to his hometown tomorrow. Master Wan and I came here specially to take a look."

This person is the second in command of the "Chao Gang", Ma Yanxia.

He and Wan Youyuan standing together really looked like chopsticks stuck in a boiled egg.

Wan Youyuan is short, fat and sturdy, and is eloquent; while Ma Yanxia is tall, thin, with willow shoulders, and is taciturn.

After hearing these words, Wang Huaimeng did not get angry, so he allowed the two men to present elegiac couplets, burn paper and burn incense.

After the ceremony, Wan Youyuan suddenly walked up to everyone and said, "Everyone, I heard that the police station and the Old City have arrested a lot of Axe Gang members recently. If you want revenge, you'd better do it as soon as possible. If there is anything you need help with, for Uncle Kun's sake, please feel free to ask."

"Forget it!" Wang Huaimeng said coldly, "Our 'Yue Gang' is a small temple, and we can't invite the big Buddha of your 'Chao Gang'. You don't need to worry about revenge. I know what to do."

This time, Wan Youyuan did not get angry, but instead smiled with a slight regret.

"Brother Meng, what's the point of being angry with me?"

"Why am I mad at you? I'm just telling you to stop meddling in other people's business."

"Okay, okay, I won't meddle in other people's business."

Wan Youyuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Yin Baokun's coffin, and said something heart-piercing in a calm and calm manner.

"I don't know whether this temple of your Guangdong Gang is big or small. I only know that now that Uncle Kun is gone, you three should decide who will be the big Buddha in the future. Remember to inform me at any time. After all, according to the rules of the underworld, I will have to come to your house to give you a gift when the time comes!"

After saying this, Lai Chunbao and Cheng Maoling couldn't help but look at each other with slightly ambiguous expressions.

Wang Huaimeng immediately frowned and said in reply, "Wan Youyuan, stop it. It's not your turn to give orders."

"Tsk, look at me, you're anxious again."

Wan Youyuan shook his head in pretended helplessness, but said, "Now is the time for you to work together. You haven't even chosen a leader yet. If you really want to fight the Axe Gang, you will definitely get yourself into trouble first. Brother Meng, I'm doing this for your own good."

"Master Wan, if I were to say, you really worry too much."

"Oh? Master Ma, what do you mean?"

Ma Yanxia doesn't talk much, but when he does, he hits the nail on the head: "In terms of ability and seniority, the person who makes the decisions in the Guangdong Gang should definitely be Brother Meng. How can Brother Meng not be angry when you ask this?"

"Oh, right, right, that's my fault." Wan Youyuan patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Brother Meng, let me congratulate you in advance. Don't forget to let me know when you have a celebratory drink in the future. We won't bother you any more. Goodbye, everyone."

After saying that, the two of them turned around and hurriedly left the charity cemetery of the "Yue Gang".

It didn't matter that they left. The already tense atmosphere in the mourning hall suddenly became tense again...
