late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou was relieved, and Zhao Yao from Yipintang arrived, making everyone stop their nonsense.Zhao Yao came here with two older brothers, his left and right hands. Wang Yougong and Li Guolou had fought each other, and the two had a heart-to-heart exchange. The seat is still the third child.

Wu Defu wanted to deal with Yipintang because Yipintang did not give protection money to the Yamen in the past, and the original Yipintang gang leader Xiancheng relied on someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not take him seriously.Now, through internal cooperation and external cooperation, the territory of Yipintang has been controlled by Wu Defu again.But there are also troubles, that is, confronting the gang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The House of Internal Affairs is divided into two parts, one is in charge of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, and the other is in charge of the life of the Manchus in the capital.The financial part of the palace is independent and separate from the national treasury, which is the small royal treasury.The chief eunuch Chen Kuiyuan, who was in charge of the life of the Manchu people in the capital, extended his hand to the security of the capital. Of course, the Ministry of punishment was very indignant about this kind of cross-border behavior.

The burden of managing the Manchus in the Clan Mansion is very heavy. Manchus who are able to give birth will have the privilege of raising them, and they will have a monthly payment of money. It is no problem to live the lives of ordinary people.The state needs to subsidize 40 million taels of silver every year to raise these Manchus. This is a matter on the surface. Secretly, the clan government also uses its privileges to place Manchus in each yamen. It is tantamount to a rationing system. We must ensure the livelihood of these Manchurians. (It is the job priority that later generations say.) The good jobs in the Qing Empire, the fat and oily errands were all done by Manchurians, just like the treasury soldiers who guarded the treasury's silver were all Manchurians.

Wu Defu did not directly take over the site of Yipintang, but let Yipintang exist, which has his own reasons.After the ceremony, everyone was seated as the guest of honor, and Wu Defu said, "How is Chief Zhao, is there any difficulty?"

Zhao Yao glanced at everyone in embarrassment, and said: "There is nothing wrong with Tianqiao, but there are a few casinos and brothels that say they are members of the Green Gang, and now they have to make it clear to me that in our Yipintang site, money is paid as usual. We will not be in charge of it anymore. Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent us away directly, fearing that the eunuch Chen Kuiyuan would play tricks and send a full force of people to make trouble, and the brothers have just calmed down and will not work hard when the time comes."

Wu Defu said: "I have already sent more people to your territory, full of people came to make trouble, beat me hard, and someone will stand up in the court. Those bastards, the ancestors wanted to teach them a long time ago. I'm not afraid in the palace."

The three eldest brothers of Yipintang looked at each other happily. They were most worried about the national policy. If the higher authorities favored the Manchus, they would not dare to fight against the privileged Manchus.Wu Defu has clearly told them that the country's policy will not favor the Manchus, and that the Manchus who are hooligans are losing face to their ancestors, and they can be beat if they are caught in the yamen.

Wu Defu looked around and said, "What do you think of this move by the Youth Gang?"

Yao Cuo said: "It's clear that I don't want to give face to Gangzhu Zhao, and paying the money is just a cover. If there is no younger brother to take care of it, who will listen to the order. It won't be long before those restaurants won't even pay Gangzhu Zhao."

Everyone said it was reasonable, and the Green Gang had a lot of people, so they liked to play dirty tricks.

Liu Huan looked at Li Guolou wretchedly, and said, "Brother Yao is right, and we think so too, but now that Yipintang has just been reorganized, and we're going to turn against the Green Gang directly, I'm afraid we don't have enough strength."

Li Guolou sat on the side, wishing he could hit Liu Huan on the nose in a circle. It was obvious that he was a person who liked to go to Xianggongtang. Looking at his expression, he was as disgusted as he wanted.

Li Guolou couldn't help it, and said, "What's going on with the smoking gun restaurant?" He knew that one-third of the smoking gun restaurants in the Yipintang site belonged to Yu Hanbing of the Ge Laohui, so he was still very concerned about Yu Hanbing's movements. of.

Zhao Yao raised his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I forgot to mention that Yu Hanbing, the owner of Le Piao Piao Smoke House, said that he is taking care of himself and wants to sell his six smoke houses on our site to us at a low price. I also want to ask for instructions. Brother, do you want to accept this case? I'm afraid that if we move, other gangs will be jealous and come to find fault with us."

Wu Defu laughed, and said: "Master Zhao, you just accept it. This is a big gift from the third brother, and it can also be counted as some settling expenses for you."

Zhao Yao and the others quickly clasped their fists together and said in unison, "Thank you, Third Brother."

Li Guolou smiled casually, and said, "You're welcome, my brother." I felt awkward in my heart, and it's my brother!Killing someone else's brother, and now talking nonsense with open eyes, human life is as cheap as vegetables.If the gangster changes a big brother, he will immediately change his way of life. Why avenge his brother?Nothing, only mutual use, the exchange of monetary benefits.

Wu Defu gave Li Guolou enough face, turned his head and asked, "Third brother, what do we do about the Qing Gang's actions?"

Li Guolou glanced at Wang Wu, and said: "It depends on when the militia will be trained well. With our current efforts, we can do well. If we come to a protracted battle, we may all be deserters. The first step is to be patient."

Wang Yougong stood up all of a sudden, and said anxiously: "Brother, second brother, I'm afraid this is not enough, and the subordinates will be even more dissatisfied. Some younger brothers have already taken their troops to other places. If Chief Zhao doesn't say anything, I must say it. It's a matter of life and death."

Wu Defu's anger rose from his heart, and Zhao Yao came to report the good news but not the bad news. Such a big matter was only exposed by Wang Yougong until now.But now that Zhao Yao has just taken the position of leader of Yipintang, it is understandable that people will be dissatisfied.

Wu Defu suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the dejected Zhao Yao, squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Zhao, we just started working together, and there will be a long break-in period, so you are not allowed to know this in the future?"

Zhao Yaodao: "It's the eldest brother and the second brother. I just want to talk about it later. I didn't want to hide a few elder brothers. I can't hide this kind of thing, right?"

Yao Cuo said angrily: "Which bastards are they, I will go and sweep their place first."

Wu Defu said: "Brother, you must not do it. Sweeping the scene now will make Gangzhu Zhao even more ugly. The people in Yipintang will look down on Gangzhu Zhao. Either be tough and kill them all, or talk about brotherhood and let them kneel in front of Gangzhu Zhao. Raising the initials of Chief Zhao is the key point."

Li Guolou glanced at Zhao Yao and said, "In my opinion, Chief Zhao is not strong enough. Since we can't intervene, elder brother and second brother, we will come secretly and ask Wang Wu to bring some people to help Chief Zhao. The site is stable, if other gangs dare to make trouble, we will not hesitate to intervene."

Liu Huan looked at Li Guolou with a smile, and said, "Well, it's better to think of what the third brother said. I support the idea of ​​the third brother. The third brother is capable of writing and martial arts, and I admire it."

Li Guolou quickly waved his hand and said, "Housekeeper Liu, stop flattering me, we are all from our own family, so don't be too polite, just say what you want."

Liu Huan said in a long voice: "Heroes are born in youth, third brother is so young, he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future."

Wu Defu poured cold water on him and said, "I don't think so. The third brother likes to offend people too much. He already has a family and can't return. It's not bad to live among people."

An official should be unsmiling, not easy to express his opinion, a tumbler is even more irrelevant, and he hangs up high, doing paperwork until late at night. Li Guolou does not have these characteristics.

Li Guolou smirked along with everyone, his teeth were sore, and his temper exploded again and again, how many people did he offend?It's really not his character to be promoted and act like a Bodhisattva.He is still suitable for rushing to the front, reckless and passionate is the real him.

Yao Cuo said: "Wang Wu, can you pull out a team now?"

Wang Wuteng stood up, straightened his chest and said, "Brother, there is no problem, let me go. We are very familiar with Zhao's leader's territory, and we can't give this piece of fat to outsiders. Brothers also want to live a good life."

Yao Cuo nodded and said: "Okay! Chief Zhao, I handed Wang Wu to you, and you have to clean up those traitors. The harder you do, the people in the Green Gang will be subdued. Now leave room for others, and later they will It will climb on your head, if you are not familiar with it, don’t want it, and don’t let anyone who has turned back.”

Everyone stared at Yao Cuo with admiration. This is the style of a big brother. How can he wait for the opponent to make a move first, and then directly come to kill him.

Zhao Yao was blushing with excitement, he had been waiting for this opportunity for so many years, the hidden stake of being an official government was hidden in Yipintang, he never thought that one day he would be the boss of Yipintang, the scholar died for his confidant, rose from the ground, his eyes were fierce Said: "Don't worry big brother, second brother, third brother, I will definitely do a good job, clean up those rebellious guys, within a month, I promise to make Yipintang look brand new."

Wang Yougong and Liu Huan couldn't bear it, and those who clamored to find another place, some of them hadn't really turned against each other, but they just didn't want to recognize Zhao Yao as their eldest brother.But in order to gain fame, Zhao Yao will definitely kill a killer. This is a person who even killed his elder brother Xian Chengli, and he is definitely not a soft-hearted person.

Li Guolou stared at Wang Wu, he was the one who dragged Wang Wu to this thief ship, killing people for fame, Wang Wu would also become an ambitious man.Li Guolou's heart was moved, he couldn't control other people's desires and ambitions, and one day Wang Wu would be independent.With so many ambitious people together, constantly shuffling and reorganizing, how many people will become enemies?Drinking and hugging together now, but for the sake of profit, these people will eventually part ways, without eternal friends, how many friends will he see falling in front of him?

Li Guolou saw Wu Defu looking at him, and the two smiled slightly, each thinking about their own calculations.

Yao Yong walked in and invited everyone to the dining room of the inner courtyard to sit. Yao Cuo and Wu Defu invited Zhao Yao to walk in the middle, and they treated Zhao Yao very affectionately.

Wang Yougong walked up to Li Guolou and said, "Xiao Lizi, we didn't decide the winner last time, this time we have to compete at the banquet, you can't run away this time."

Li Guolou blinked at Wang Yougong and said, "Ah, are you still not convinced?"

Wang Yougong patted his waist and said, "Of course, little Li, we were careless last time and didn't bring a gun. When I meet you in the future, I will bring a gun to you no matter what I say."

Li Guolou said without hesitation: "I know you are a sharpshooter, but my speed is fast, if you really fight, you will still lose."

Yao Cuo said angrily: "You two are not allowed to say such hurtful words. We have few people now. You bring guns to drink, and I will not say anything. When there are more people in the future, you are not allowed to bring guns into the door when you are in a meeting or drinking. This The rules should be written into the gang rules."

Wu Defu said: "Seeing that the chief can't carry weapons, it makes sense. After entering the door, the weapons will be automatically disarmed. Do you understand?"

Everyone reacted with a bang, and they all agreed with this proposition. Drinking was a mistake. If any brother was drunk and shot randomly, it would be a big joke.What's more, if people's hearts change, how many people will be killed by a gun!
