As soon as Lao Sha went out, there were only three people left in the private room, Wang Xiaoxu, Yu Ziyi and Li Zhengwu, Wang Xiaoxu said: "Zhengwu, are you familiar with this gang in Shanghai?" ”

Li Zhengwu didn't expect him to ask such a big question, but he thought that it was related to his help, so he said, "There are many gangs in Shanghai, and I am familiar with it, but some places may not be able to eat." ”

Wang Xiaoxu saw that he didn't brag, the more he felt that he had found the right person, the people in this gang would put face first, and he would not give up if he didn't blow himself to the sky and the earth.

Li Zhengwu didn't know what Wang Xiaoxu thought, but said: "The so-called Hongmen is a large area, a line of Qing Gang, this Qing Gang was a dock gang on the first line of Caoyun earlier, but when Hong Yang was in the time, this Cao Yun began to break, and now, the one hundred and twenty-three gangs are only left with six gangs, and the remaining six gangs each have their own territory, among which this Xingwu Six occupies the public concession, Xingwu four occupies the French concession, and last year Zeng Guozhang's rest of the party Liu Fubiao and others occupied the Zhabei Huajie, in addition, in the early years, Fan Gaotou and his family stayed in Shanghai County, With the help of legal persons, Ma Pi Jin Rong and others fought against the French Concession and Xingwu Division, which is the relationship between several major factions in Shanghai, but now it is the confluence of the Qing Flood, and the relationship between them is often difficult to sort out. ”

Wang Xiaoxu heard him talk about this gang in Shanghai for the first time, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then which faction do you belong to the Huzhou gang?" ”

Seeing Wang Xiaoxu asking this question, Li Zhengwu smiled bitterly: "Xingwu 4 and Xingwu 6 both belong to the Songjiang Nine Gang, as for my Huzhou Gang, it should be regarded as the Huzhou Third of the 21st Gang in Zhejiang, but the Cao Yun is cut off, and the wharf in the gang is also gone, if it weren't for me and a few brothers to support it, I'm afraid it would have dispersed long ago." Now many characters in the gang are friendly with Xingwu Si's people, and I'm afraid they will become Xingwu Si in the future. Speaking of this, he was afraid that Wang Xiaoxu would be worried, and said, "I ran a boat in my early years, because the factory went to Huzhou to transport silk. I joined the gang, and now, if I count the words, I am old, although Shanghai is not my wharf, but the old men of the gang will still give some face. ”

Wang Xiaoxu heard what he meant, and said with relief: "Zhengwu, in fact, it's not a big deal to ask you for help." In the past year, when the China Education Association was in the past, a few acquaintances were imprisoned for insulting the imperial court. In the end, the two were sentenced to two years and three years, but this Manchu Qing was extremely despicable, and when the younger brother Wei Dan was released from prison in dozens of days, he was poisoned by the foreign doctors they bought. ”

"Mr. is talking about Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong, two righteous men?" Li Zhengwu was only adrift on the water, and he didn't know a lot about things in Shanghai.

"It's really them, this Zou Rong is about to be released from prison. But it ...... Now I have asked Wu Bao, one of the four sons, to come forward to fight a lawsuit, but this case involves foreigners, and it involves Shanghai Daotai, because I was almost arrested out of bounds last night. Now, I don't know what tricks the master will make behind this scene, so I want to ask you to find some people to help, and don't do anything else, just protect the safety of everyone. When Wang Xiaoxu begged Li Zhengwu for help. But he didn't tell him the details, but only said that he was a friend. If this Li Zhengwu is just a member of the gang, then many things can be said, but he is not a simple gangmate, his Zhenhai Li family is famous in Shanghai with the Zhenhai Fang family, in the face of such a complex background, he still doesn't say a lot of things.

After Wang Xiaoxu finished speaking, Li Zhengwu pondered. Shanghai is not his territory, he still finally relied on Wang Xiaoxu's trust to have a wharf in Shanghai - the coal dock of Changxing Coal Mine, plus after unloading coal, the empty ship can bring some goods back, which greatly increases the income of the gang. Only then did he regain some face in Shanghai, even so, he came to Shanghai to be protected by more than ten people, and he was afraid that Zeng Guozhang's party would come to find trouble. To be honest, Wang Xiaoxu's matter is still very difficult. The reason why there are so many gangs in Shanghai is because the foreigners and the Manchus have their own policies and do not contact each other, which makes the gangs have loopholes to exploit. Many of those kidnapped in the concession generally lived in the Chinese area, while those who committed crimes in the Chinese area lived in the concession. As long as you don't offend both sides, and at the same time honor the patrol or arrest of the residence, and don't offend the people who can't be offended, then it is very safe. But now, Wang Xiaoxu's side has offended both sides, and the two sides are afraid that they will join forces......

Li Zhengwu thought for a long time before he said: "Sir, if you want to protect the safety of everyone, it is better to avoid it in the French Concession." ”

"The French Concession?" Wang Xiaoxu didn't understand.

"yes. French Concession. Only the French Concession is safer. At least the French have nothing to do with it. If it is in the public concession, the patrol house and the Shanghai Daotai collude with each other, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the comprehensiveness. ”

Li Zhengwu's meaning Wang Xiaoxu understands that the way is the way, but the headquarters of the Revival Association is in the public concession, but if he doesn't go, what if the patrol room really tears his face and wants to arrest people? Wang Xiaoxu weighed it repeatedly, and finally said, "Other people can go to the French Concession, but I'd better stay." There's so much going on here, I can't leave. ”

"Sir......" Li Zhengwu didn't understand what Wang Xiaoxu meant by saying too many things, and still thought that he didn't want to leave home, but at this time, Wang Xiaoxu said again, "Zhengwu, just say, what if you stay in the public concession?" ”

Seeing that Wang Xiaoxu had made up his mind, Li Zhengwu was not good at persuading, so he said, "If you want to stay in the public concession, then, if you want to be the safest, you still have to go to visit the old man Zhang Zhenxian here." Later, he was afraid that Wang Xiaoxu would be puzzled, so he said again: "This Zhang Zhenxian is the boss of Xingwu Liu, the word Shanting, is a native of Yangzhou, Jiangsu, and the congregation of Xingwu Liuyi in Shanghai is obeying him. ”

Wang Xiaoxu knew that what he said was actually to worship the dock, and he still needed others to protect him when he came to the revival club for nearly three years, he sighed very much, but he knew that this was because all the combat power was focused on the northeast, and if he waited for Zhong Mei, Wang Jin and others to come back, it was estimated that it would be better. "Zhengwu, there is nothing wronged or wronged in this, as long as I can finish this lawsuit smoothly and get justice for Wei Dan, who died, I will be satisfied."

Wang Xiaoxu said very righteously, which made Li Zhengwu admire a little more in his heart, and said at the moment, "Mr. has no scruples, righteousness comes first, and he is an example for people in our gang." Zhengwu will go to visit this Zhang Zhenxian, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will meet him. ”

After the matter was discussed, Wang Xiaoxu came out of the big smoke house, and went around a few times to turn back to Wan'anli, and now he feels more and more that he has spent a lot of money to set up so many hidden benefits. Especially now that the teahouse is open by the Fuxing Society, no one could have imagined that after entering the teahouse, he would go from the side door to the third floor of the clothes and quilt shop next door, and then cross several shops to the top floor of a north-south miscellaneous store.

It was too far away, Wang Xiaoxu began to draft the telegram after a short rest, and last night's arrest made him realize that Zou Rong's case now seems to have a tendency to get out of control, and it is becoming more and more uncontrollable. He can't judge the position of the Ministry of Industry now, if the Ministry of Industry is really determined to solve this case, then he thinks that he has no way to compete with the Ministry of Industry Bureau, even if the Ministry of Industry Bureau does not express its position, but only acquiesces in the inaction of the patrol houses below, and allows the Manchus to enter the border to arrest people. That would be very damaging to the revival, so how can we resist their collusion?

Wang Xiaoxu wrote all these things on the telegram, and then went to the northeast through the Shanghai General Station, and soon, when it was not dark, he received a call back from Yang Rui: Yang Rui said on the telegram that the collusion between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ministry of Industry was a new situation, and it was normal to expect it. But now that they've captured our people, they have to return the color. The first part of the guerrillas of the Fuxing Army, which has now returned, is going to come back to consolidate Shanghai and open up the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which Zhong Mei, a military cadet, will be in charge of Shanghai, while Zhu Shaokang and Wang Jin will be in charge of Shaoxing, Jinhua, and other places. Of course, the signboard of the Revival Society is too eye-catching now, and once it is revealed, the Manchus will try their best to suppress it, so. According to the current situation, if it is appropriate, let Zhong Mei join the Qing Gang, recognize a big guy as an old man, and if there is anything in the future, he can also come forward under the signboard of the gang, and if it is not suitable, he will form a new gang by himself, and show a group of members among the low-level personnel in Shanghai. One more game.

Yang Rui's conception of the Guannai Revolutionary Exhibition has been improving, and the earlier education meeting has only been arranged, but there is still no specific plan for the exhibition to be completed. In fact, in today's China, it is like gaining a foothold in the Northeast and not being able to get around the beard. There is no way to avoid the exhibition party in the Guannai, especially in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the rivers are dense, good at concealment, and the shipping is reached, the elder brothers, the Anqing Society, and the Heaven and Earth Association are numerous. Therefore, if you want to work in the Guannai, you must go deep into the gangs, understand the gangs, and find a set of methods that can use the gangs to open up the situation. After all, in the northeast, in the northeast, one can rely on the barrel of a gun to resist in a war, but in the pass, a company of regular armed forces will cause the Manchu Qing to encircle and suppress, and the forces that can be used are extremely limited, which requires even more meticulous effort.

Wang Xiaoxu read through Yang Rui's telegram several times, and then rang the bell, and after a while, Yu Ziyi came in, and he said: "Xiao Bing, the report came from the northeast before, and it said when did Zhong Mei and others come out?" ”

Seeing Wang Xiaoxu asking Zhong Mei, Yu Ziyi immediately said: "They are the ship on the 26th of last month, and they will go to Shanghai tomorrow if they are normal." Yu Ziyi was very excited when he received the news that Zhong Mei was coming back, he didn't see a classmate when he went to Anton before, but this time several classmates came back, Zhong Mei, Mu Xiangyao, Fei Yugui, Zhong Guanhe, etc. were all familiar with him, so he remembered the date of their return very clearly.

Seeing the smile on Yu Ziyi's face, Wang Xiaoxu said: "Why, I haven't seen you for many years, I miss my classmates and friends so much." ”

"Yes, sir. Bu Cen and I haven't seen each other for 60 days, but we haven't seen each other for three years, and I really don't know what has become of them. By the way, sir, you don't want to go to the docks tomorrow, I'll just get them back." Yu Ziyi thought that the current situation was not optimistic, and he was happy to rest a lot.

"Okay. I'll leave that to you. Be sure to stay safe! Wang Xiaoxu confessed.

"Besides, Li Zhengwu's ......" Wang Xiaoxu thought of something, and then said: "Forget it, I'll think about it again." "Yang Rui said on the telegram that if it is suitable, he can let Zhong Mei and others join the Qing Gang, but he still has to listen to Zhong Mei's own opinions, and at the same time learn more about the situation of the Shanghai Gang." You call Xiaohu in a moment, I have something to ask him. He commanded.

More than an hour later, Wang Xiaoxu saw Xiaohu, or he could stop calling him Xiaohu, he had already asked an editor in the meeting to help him choose a good name, called Hu Wenyao, but this Hu Wenyao was Wenyao who couldn't get up - he worked hard, but when he talked about tutoring, he would be paralyzed on the ground. Every time I think of Xiaohu reading a book, Wang Xiaoxu wants to laugh, but as a gentleman, it's not good to laugh too much. So he endured it very hard.

"Sir. After a day of searching, I still couldn't find anyone. I also asked all the people I knew in the county, and they all said that they hadn't seen it. Compared with Wang Xiaoxu's forbearance smile, Hu Wenyao looked nervous, he knew the two people who disappeared yesterday, and they were both new to the club.

"I can't find it, I can't do it, I can only find it slowly. It's useless to be anxious. Have you been to Kuang Dayong's house? Wang Xiaoxu sighed.

"Hmm. Been there. His wife had been panicking for a long time and had been crying all day. ”

"Hey!" Wang Xiaoxu let out a long sigh. There was silence in the room for a while. Wang Xiaoxu continued, "I came to you today, there are other things, you have been in Shanghai for three years, and the gangs everywhere are already very familiar." ”

Xiaohu nodded and said, "It's all familiar." But those who know are the people below. ”

"It doesn't matter. What do I know about Xingwu Liu, Xingwu Si, as well as Fan Gaotou, Liu Fubiao, and Mapi Jinrong? Wang Xiaoxu said.

"Hemp Skin Gold Glory is Gold Glory. His wife, Sister Gui, is a famous dung king in the French Concession, and he himself is a patrol in the concession, I heard that he knows the foreigner's general, called Cao or something, and that the generalist often helps him say good things about the foreigner, and his official has been promoted. However, he only has some small deflated people around him now, and he will only blackmail some owners of shops with no background. The second is to smuggle some foreign medicines under the banner of foreigners, and it will not be on the table. Liu Fubiao has not heard of it, but Fan Gaotou knows, but he said last year that he was beaten to death by the government's anti-private government, and now he is in charge of his little apprentice, named Qi Debao, who is the overlord of the county town in Shanghai, and smuggling opium and kidnapping rich businessmen are their specialties. ”

Xiao Hu stopped again when he said this. He asked: "Sir, these Xingwu Six and Xingwu Four sound familiar, and I heard people say, aren't they all Qing Gang?" ”

"It's the Qing Gang, but the Qing Gang also has many gangs." Wang Xiaoxu knew that it was impossible to know the things at the top of the gang with Xiaohu's social contacts, so he asked again: "Don't care about this Xingwu first, what does this Qing Gang usually do?" ”

The things of the upper echelons Xiaohu don't know. But the practice of the lower class is clear, he said: "These people seem to do everything, smuggling foreign medicines, extorting merchants, kidnapping gentry, and ...... Then there is moving stones and picking mulberry leaves. ”

Wang Xiaoxu in front has heard of it, but he doesn't know about it in the back. He asked again, "What are you doing moving stones and picking mulberry leaves?" ”

"That's it, it's just selling the fine road." Xiao Hu said, "The man is called moving stones, and the woman is called picking mulberry leaves." ”

"And who did they sell this man to?" Wang Xiaoxu was suddenly a little worried about the child laborers in Tianzihao, although they were all recruited to be ** years old and took the exam to enter the factory, but it is difficult to say whether there are any children who are abducted and trafficked by the Qing Gang.

"I heard that the men are either sold to the temple to be novices, or sold to Nanyang, Guangdong to be apprentices, and if the women are beautiful, they will be sold to some brothels, or they will be sold to the rich as maids, and those ugly ones will be sold to those who have no money as wives." Xiaohu often mixes around and knows a lot of details. Suddenly, he thought of something again, "Sir, they will sell it too." ”

"Adults also sell it, how can adults buy it?" Wang Xiaoxu didn't want to be combined with the Qing gang more and more, he could accept selling opium, after all, there were too many people smoking this thing, but it was difficult for him to accept robbery, murder and child trafficking, he didn't want to call those traffickers brothers.

"They recruited some adults from the countryside, and then asked them to join the gang, and when they joined the gang, they were contracted to work as workers in the factory, and the people of the Qing gang became foremen and masters, and then these adults who worked in the countryside had a festival, and they had to honor these masters." Xiao Hu has seen those workers in the silk reeling factory and the flower factory, who have to work for 16 to 17 hours a day, and they get less than the child laborers who work part-time in the 6-line factory, not to mention the food they live in, anyway, they are miserable and pitiful.

Wang Xiaoxu also knew that the bonded workers in the foreigner factory had been miserable, but he didn't expect that there was still the Qing Gang involved, he asked: "So are all factories like this, or are they just individual factories?" ”

"Except for our Tianzihao, the factories in Shanghai are like this." Xiao Hu said, and suddenly he said again: "By the way, last time I heard that Tianran was also like this, and the people inside were also wrapped." ”

Tianran is the match factory managed by Yu Qiaqing, matches from abroad, especially in Japan, are cheap, and there are match factories in Shanghai itself, Yu Qiaqing in order to gain market share, after the production capacity came up, he immediately launched a price war to open up the market. Although potassium chlorate in the raw material of matches is self-produced, when it was invested earlier, in order to save money, the labor cost accounted for almost half of the package of matches. Thinking that Yu Qiaqing accounted for the majority of the matches, Wang Xiaoxu wanted to say something and suddenly didn't want to say it, what he could do now was to manage the factory he could control.

Moreover, more important than this is whether to cooperate with the Qing Gang, although any party and any leader are chivalrous and benevolent, but this is just their appearance, those gangs that do not do the right thing can have money to spend all day and wine, and they are all using countless illegal and bloody means to make profits, and he doesn't want to cooperate with such people, but what if he doesn't cooperate?
