I killed the film and television world

Chapter 158 Three Tigers and Old Snakes
Song Ren promised Brende that as the champion, he could support him.

Brende also pledged to share the benefits.

He took the initiative to return Dong Fugui's indenture to Song Ren, and finally said with a little doubt: "Hey, Dong, with the skills you have shown, I really can't imagine why you have fallen to this point."

Song Ren's performance on the ring just now was truly too exciting.

Before he even left the ring, many friends had already come to him to inquire about the news.

However, they were all shocked by what happened immediately afterwards.

The scene where Song Ren kicked a man so hard that he was stuck to the wooden pillar was so shocking.

So much so that when Brand took the initiative to lower his stance to discuss cooperation, the foreigners in the field were still unable to recover for a long time.

Based on Brende's understanding of the local factions in the Pearl River Estuary area.

The Black Tiger Gang and the Beihai Gang are the two most powerful local forces, and many foreigners have cooperated with these two gangs.

But with the skills Song Ren had shown, how could he have fallen to the point of becoming a dock laborer?

Moreover, he was forcibly sold by the Black Tiger Gang, which is a bit outrageous.

Is the Black Tiger Gang that powerful?
After Brende asked, he didn't wait for Song Ren to reply. As if he had thought of something, he asked and answered himself: "Could this be what you people often call seclusion in the wild?"

"..."Song Ren.

You have already thought of the reasons for me, so what else can I say?

So he just nodded.

……

Brand and Song Ren returned to the ring. The scene where they were originally enjoying a new round of competition on the ring suddenly became noisy.

What Song Ren had just done was so shocking, and he left so hastily that most people didn't react.

Seeing him coming back, they threw handfuls of silver coins and silver dollars towards him as if they were free.

The servants who were cleaning up the scene were too busy to handle it all at once.

No one cared about Baston's death because death in the ring was too common.

As for the death of Jinqian Shuwei, no one would care.

Human life is really cheap in this era.

What's more, he is a slave.

Brand took the initiative to bring Song Ren over and help introduce him to his friends.

After what happened before, many people showed interest in Song Ren. "Hey, Brand, what's this gentleman's name?"

Brand said: "Dong, he is the martial arts master of the Qing Dynasty."

"Master of martial arts?"

"It's a similar evaluation to that of a boxing champion."

"Wow! No wonder he acted so surprising just now!"

"Besides, Dong can understand English."

"Huh!!!"

In fact, Brand just discovered this during the communication.

His proficiency in Chinese is quite good, but he has difficulty speaking some obscure sentences, and occasionally some words of his native language will slip out.

He noticed it at first, but later he found that Song Ren could understand it.

This also made his attitude towards Song Ren seem more respectful.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of gorgeously dressed Westerners, who were particularly enthusiastic, which made Song Ren feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after Brand introduced him, he brought Song Ren out at the right time.

……

Only after leaving Brand did Song Ren truly experience the late Qing Dynasty.

Even in the economically prosperous Pearl River Estuary area, the most intuitive feeling is still dirtiness and poverty.

In particular, emaciated drug addicts can be seen on many street corners.

There was no way around it. The defeats in two consecutive wars allowed opium to spread more widely, especially in coastal areas.

The disastrous consequences it brought were not gradually curbed until the beginning of the 20th century.

At that time, opium was most widely spread.

With the help of opium, foreigners were able to plunder huge amounts of silver from this land every year.

In the end, the Qing Dynasty even relaxed the ban on opium.

As the saying goes, as long as you grow more, there will be no outflow of silver! Therefore, the number of people poisoned by opium has doubled in a few years.

……

On the streets, people are coming and going in a constant stream.

The loose cloth shirt is covered with patches, or the upper body is bare, but looks emaciated, and the lowered eyes are full of numbness.

You can often see opium addicts smoking in some corners.

Occasionally, you can see Western missionaries holding a cloth banner with the words "God loves the world" written on it.

This type of missionaries have always been the first group sent out by the British Empire when it invades other countries.

At this moment, although the streets are crowded with people, they give people an inexplicable feeling of deadness.

By this time, the Qing Dynasty already had one foot in the coffin and was beyond redemption.

Song Ren walked through the streets and alleys, and after a long distance, he arrived at Dong Fugui's residence.

This is a courtyard full of the flavor of life.

There are a dozen rooms inside, but they house more than 40 people, including many poor families.

Dong Fugui's wife and daughter also live here.

Song Ren also discovered this after sorting out his memories.

Dong Fugui is not alone, he has a wife and daughter at home.

My wife, Ms. Dong, is now over 30 years old and still has a pretty appearance.

My daughter Dong Guihua is already twelve years old and has a pretty appearance.

The family usually made a living by doing hard labor at the dock by Dong Fugui, and Dong would also do some needlework to supplement the family income.

My daughter Dong Guihua is twelve years old and is a very sensible girl.

When Song Ren returned to the courtyard, there was a sound of dispute in the courtyard.

After entering the room, I saw five men wearing dark coarse linen clothes forcibly dragging a pair of women who were hugging each other.

Many neighbors around were watching this scene and couldn't help whispering.

There was a slight redness in everyone's eyes and their faces were full of anger, as if they would stand up for the mother and daughter at any time.

Among the five men in coarse linen clothes, the leader was a slightly plump middle-aged man.

He had a rat-tail hairstyle and a short beard. His eyes swept over everyone present fiercely: "If anyone has any objection to what we do in the Black Tiger Gang, stand up!"

For a moment, the neighbors who were originally ready to make a move suddenly lowered their heads.

However, one of the young men who had some backbone could not help but speak up when he saw the two women held hostage by the Black Tiger Gang crying pitifully:

"Too deceiving!"

"So what about the Black Tiger Gang!"

"I'm going to report you to the police right now!"

The slightly plump middle-aged man nicknamed Old Snake is one of the three adopted sons of Lei Gong, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

He is also the third of the three notorious evil tigers of the Black Tiger Gang.

This man is extremely greedy for women and cannot be happy without them.

He heard someone talking about reporting to the police.

The old snake grinned, pushed the crowd aside, and walked up to the young man: "You want to report to the police?"

Under the fierce gaze of the old snake, the young man's sense of justice gradually died out and he was afraid to open his mouth.

Snapped!
The old snake slapped the man to the ground and shouted, "Speak!"

The young man's head was dizzy from the beating.

Then the old snake stepped on his head again, crushing the other's face with the sole of his foot, and kept muttering: "Call the police, don't you want to report to the police!"

"Go report it, NEET!"

"Report to the police? If you're brave enough, say it again!"

The old snake's violent temper made all the neighbors around him lower their heads even lower.

The young man's nose was bleeding from being stepped on, but he dared not speak again.

The two women captured by the Black Tiger Gang were in complete despair, some even determined to die.

At this time, Song Renzheng walked in and saw this scene, and he had to stand up.

He said in a steady voice: "Please let go of my wife and daughter."
