Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

Du Yiheng said: "Yan Luo said in the post that the Qinggang Wharf has been in Shanghai for more than a hundred years, and the Chaohui should respect the Jiang family. Although he himself is older than the third elder brother, in the gang business, he should be a younger generation who humbles himself and honors the third brother." Brother is the leader of the torch. Now that he has repented, he should stick to his role as a descendant in the future, serve the third brother with a heart of filial piety, and the nest society will pay tribute to the Green Gang on a monthly basis. Please forgive him for his past when he wakes up early You made a big mistake. For this reason, Yan Luo specially held a banquet in Sha Tingzhou, please be sure to go there, and accept Yan Luo's kneeling ceremony."

Jiang Chengyan heard that Du Yiheng, a vulgar man, had finished the plagiarism of the letter, and couldn't help laughing: "Yan Luo wrote so disgustingly, it's really hard for you. Now he thinks that the Jiang family is the pioneer of holding the torch, it's too late. In this world No one is greedy, but if that person ignores the bottom line for greed, then this kind of person will never go on a good road. I have no qualifications to forgive him, I am not a foreigner church God."

Du Yiheng was not in the mood for joking, and said worriedly: "Then his banquet, in my opinion, third brother should not go. Even if Yan Luo really wants to give third brother a soft hand, we can't get involved with him. Otherwise, there will be future troubles .”

Jiang Chengyan said: "There is no good banquet, it is obvious. But Yan Luo and I have to see each other. It is because Yan Luo will not let me go, and I don't want to let him go. Let me take a look at him What good show can this banquet have? If there is nothing wrong with each other, just give me some time to slowly crush his dirty business in the name of inspection by the authorities. If he dares to give me a moth, I will Kill him on the spot according to the rules of the road."

Du Yiheng said: "Yan Luo is in the hands of the third brother, after all, it is a death sentence. I am afraid that he has figured this out. If the time comes when he puts all his eggs in one basket and dies, third brother, you will be very dangerous."

Jiang Chengyan said with a smile: "I'm really afraid that he won't do anything. If he doesn't do it, what name should I use to touch him? Yiheng, Yan Luo set up a Hongmen banquet. He wants my life. This is what he gave me to destroy him in a fair and just way." How can I not seize the opportunity. I will be the bait to lure the snake out of the hole, Yiheng, you tell Xilin to be ready."

Jiang Chengyan has made a plan, Sha Tingzhou is also a dragon's lake and a tiger's den.

The banquet of the nest meeting is scheduled for ten days later.Sha Tingzhou is located in the northern part of the outer city of the concession, and is a small island in the inner harbor of a tributary of the Huangpu River.That island was Yan Luo's first base where he made his fortune. The Chaohui established a firm foothold in Shanghai within three years by building an underground gold sales cave full of pornography, gambling and drugs on the island.After Yan Luo made his fortune, Sha Tingzhou became more and more famous, and turned into a face business, becoming a club exclusively for political dignitaries to enter and leave.The isolated island that was supposed to be commuted by ferry was also connected to the main port by a newly built extension bridge.

Jiang Chengyan brought Du Yiheng and Fan Xilin to the banquet, together with a personal bodyguard each, and drove two cars to Sha Tingzhou.Before leaving, Jiang Chengyan arranged for the car to wait for Mu Bingci to leave work at the gate of the bank, and asked the driver to take Mu Bingci to Mu Qinxue, and told the driver to talk to Mu Bingci and meet at Mu Qinxue's house later.

After making the phone call, Jiang Chengyan came downstairs, and Du Yiheng and Fan Xilin were already waiting in the garden.Fan Xilin opened the car door, waited for Jiang Chengyan to get in, and was about to close the door and take the same car with Du Yiheng, but was stopped by Jiang Chengyan.

Jiang Chengyan said: "Xilin, sit with me. I have something to say to you."

Fan Xilin nodded, and sat down in the back seat of the car.Sitting in a row with Jiang Chengyan.

The car passed through the prosperous area of ​​the concession all the way, getting more and more remote, and speeding along the river in the inner stream in the north of the city.The area where the extension bridge connects to the city is located in a poor area, and there are many farmland and livestock everywhere.It is in such an environment that Sha Tingzhou hides its true colors. Who would have thought that the places where celebrities come and go are hidden on a desolate and dilapidated deserted island.

The winter days are long, and it is only six or seven o'clock in the evening, and it is already dark outside the window.The power supply in the areas outside the concession was insufficient, the street lights were not fully turned on, and it was dark outside the windows, all relying on the halo of light from the headlights.Jiang Chengyan leaned on the back seat without saying a word, the atmosphere in the car seemed a bit depressed.

Fan Xilin broke the silence and said, "Didn't the third brother have something to say to me?"

Jiang Chengyan sighed softly, "Oh", seemed to have just remembered to say this, and asked: "Xilin, you said that Yan Luo would not be willing to invite me to eat this meal tonight?"

Fan Xilin smiled in embarrassment, and replied, "Why do you ask that, third brother? Aren't we just going to eat Yan Luo's meal?"

Jiang Chengyan said "Oh" again, and said with a slight sneer: "I'm afraid that this meal will cost too much. It may not be worthwhile to eat it—but it's also not worth it if you don't eat it."

At this time, the car had already driven onto the extended bridge section. The wind was strong in the cold night, and the river under the bridge rolled up and roared, and the waves beat against the bottom of the bridge pillars.Fan Xilin's Adam's apple rose and fell, he seemed a little nervous, and smiled with a stiff expression: "The third brother is playing some charades, why can't I understand."

Jiang Chengyan heaved a long sigh, and seemed a little regretful: "Xilin, I have been in Shanghai for ten years. You have been with me for ten years. You have always been smarter and harder-hearted than Yiheng. If Yi Heng changes positions with you, it will be easy for you to manage the Qing Gang, but Yi Heng will not be able to control the Hong Men. Because the Hong Men have a good stall, and the gang members are mixed and mixed, and everyone is a shameless third party For people like them, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame don't work, only ruthlessness can make them frightened."

Fan Xilin smiled apologetically, "Why did Third Brother suddenly say this? The more I listened, the more confused I became."

Jiang Chengyan shook his head: "You are not confused at all. Xilin, the Hongmen gang has tens of thousands of people, but they are all rogue-headed and mouse-headed. It is difficult for you to manage these people for ten years. It is really difficult for you gone."

The car has already driven into Sha Tingzhou. From a distance, there are old trees on the island. The club of pure Chinese architecture has cornices on the roof, and the corridors are covered with crescent-white lanterns.The car passed through the tree-lined stone road quickly, and when it was about to drive to the open space outside the corridor, suddenly there was a harsh friction sound from the wheels, and at the same time, the car body tilted sharply.The driver yelled "No", and hurriedly turned the wheels and stepped on the brakes.The car turned more than half a strange circle, and hit the bluestone in the corridor with a loud noise, and got stuck halfway through the front of the car.

The driver inevitably bumped his head against the front glass of the car, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Master! Are you okay!"

Jiang Chengyan pressed against the front seat with all his strength when the body was tilted just now, and tried his best to maintain his body balance under the violent impact.The driver hurriedly kicked the car door and jumped down, helping Jiang Chengyan out of the car.Du Yiheng's car at the back was better. After seeing the situation ahead in time, he stepped on the brakes, skidded and parked behind.

Du Yiheng also hurried over: "Third brother, what's going on?"

Jiang Chengyan stood there expressionless, watching Fan Xilin get out of the car door on the other side, and stood face to face with him across the car, and said coldly: "Third brother, you don't need to be polite to me. I have already chosen a bad one for myself. Such a difficult road."

Du Yiheng stood behind Jiang Chengyan, seeing Fan Xilin's posture, he turned against him, startled and angry, and shouted: "Xilin, how dare you talk to third brother like that!"

Fan Xilin sneered after hearing this and said, "Du Yiheng, are you out of your mind? You and I are many years older than this kid, but you want to call him the third brother. What kind of rule is this? Thank you for calling him third brother, you This old face is not too ashamed to panic!"

Du Yiheng was never more eloquent than Fan Xilin, but now he blocked him and pointed at Fan Xilin, unable to speak. "you!"

Jiang Chengyan, however, seemed to have seen the opportunity of this scene long ago, stood silently under the corridor, and sighed quietly: "Xilin, I hope I guessed you wrong."

Fan Xilin was not surprised by the meaning of Jiang Chengyan's words, and still sneered: "I also know that I can't hide it from you for long, so I don't plan to make long-term plans. It's just that you have good patience. You know that this trip is tricky, but you still dare From throwing a net. When did you guess that I had a double heart?"

Jiang Chengyan nodded, and said: "I told you, you are smarter than Yi Heng. Among all the people around me, you are the smartest one, and also the most ruthless one. The last time Yang Tianze asked me to come forward to suppress the strike, you and I said, we should try to cooperate with the government and leave a word of mouth in the history books. Xilin, I know that once a person's ambition is aroused, it will not be easily extinguished. Unfortunately, you have nothing Small cleverness, but no great wisdom. Do you know that from ancient times to the present, those careerists who dreamed of power, how many people rose up to compete for the world. But they couldn't pass the hurdle of word-of-mouth. They were used by the officials and colluded with the officials. , In the end, the lonely and brave heroes have become dead souls under the strife of power. Xilin, when you have that day, you will definitely regret it. How can you not be satisfied with being a hero?"

"Hahahaha——" Fan Xilin laughed loudly when he heard the words, shook his head, and said wildly: "Damn! What kind of tyrants are just a group of ants eating hooligans! You said it yourself, my disciples and gangs are all What kind of stuff? They are all in rags and rags, and they are begging for food and pulling carts all day long! They are also gangsters, Yan Luo, they all live a life of real money and feasting! Jiang Chengyan, don’t you think you are funny? You are a gangster How many people have you cut down to stabilize the territory? When you first arrived in Shanghai and stood up at the pier, you removed a dozen or so arms of the old bosses on the spot! You actually have the face to talk to me about the bottom line of principles? This is not a fucking thing. Set up a memorial archway!"

"A mess like Hongmen, whoever loves to pick it up! There are so many rascals, so many mouths, who doesn't want to eat? Who doesn't want to live a decent life? His mother is just a beggar on the street, and he takes that at night. Broken bowl, I have to go to Paramount to find a beautiful girl to get a shot! I should be living a fucking lower life than others? Yan Luo's business makes a lot of money, who is not jealous? You are just a fucking gentleman, what are you? One day, drug trafficking, usury, abducting and trafficking of women and children are unconscionable business, and the Hongmen of the Qing Gang are not allowed to get involved. You think you can become the savior of the world if you don’t do these things!”

The off-duty time of Jincheng Bank is 05:30, and Mu Bingci went downstairs before the hour as usual. Jiang Chengyan's driver was already waiting at the door. Seeing Mu Bingci coming out, he hurried to open the door for him.Mu Bingci came down from the steps of the bank gate, and suddenly a little beggar rushed out from nowhere, and threw himself into Mu Bingci's arms, knocking him down on the steps.

The driver hurried over, picked up the little beggar by his collar, and raised his hand to slap him: "You muddy legs, you don't have eyes when you walk!"

The little beggar turned around and glared at him, then suddenly twisted her body, her feet seemed to slip, and she escaped from the driver's grasp.He turned his head and gave the driver a "bah", and ran away in a flash.

The driver didn't dare to swear too badly in front of Mu Bingci, so he came over and pulled Mu Bingci up, put him in the car and closed the door, got into the driver's seat and started the car. "Master Mu, the third master wants me to take you to the second master's residence, you know that, right?"

Mu Bingci was still patting the dust on his body, and gave a faint "hmm": "He told me."

The driver didn't say much.After driving a street, he suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Mr. Mu, you don't have anything valuable with you, right? That stinky beggar has three hands, and just touched your pocket!"

When Mu Bingci heard this, he had also heard about the methods of those people.It's just that I didn't remember whether there was anything valuable, so I subconsciously touched the pocket of my trousers and found a rough note.I took it out and saw that it was half a piece of handmade pulp paper, grayish yellow and dull in color, the wood pulp was unevenly beaten resulting in uneven thickness, the thick part had a fingernail-sized veneer, while the thin part could reveal light spots .

On the pulp paper, it was written in small letters of cinnabar: "Jiang Chengyan is in danger. Go to Sha Tingzhou in the north of the city."

When Mu Bingci saw this word, he didn't have time to think about who sent the letter, so he said anxiously to the driver: "Turn around! Go to Sha Tingzhou in the north of the city!"
