"Director Meng, Zhu Yanni's parents have arrived and are staying at the International Hotel with Xu Chengbo."
"So fast? Let Xu Chengbo accompany you first." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Continue to report on the situation of the Zodiac Society."
"Yes." Wu Jingyi said, "We have contacted the Vice President of the Zodiac Society Liu Hanxian and the Operation Team Captains Jiafu and Hong through relationships. Jiafu and Hong showed interest in meeting and negotiating with us. However, Liu Hanxian said that before Chang Yuqing is released, he refuses all forms of negotiations."
"A traitor is more stubborn than a Japanese?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Jiafu and Hong are Japanese ronin. These so-called ronin are actually unemployed vagrants and belong to the bottom class of Japanese society. We have the power of the Zodiac in the public concession, help me choose a suitable place to attack .”
"Jiang Xin Tower."
"What is that place?"
"It's a teahouse outside, and a gambling house inside." Wu Jingyi introduced: "Many people from the Zodiac Society in the public concession like to go there to gamble. There are traitors and Japanese ronin, and we have people inside."
"We will act in one hour." Meng Shaoyuan checked the time and said, "I will lead the team myself."
"Where are Zhu Yanni's parents?"
"That's a private matter, let's put it aside for now." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have already planned: "Xu Chengbo is a sophisticated and well-rounded person. I feel at ease with him."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
…
The problem of the Zodiac must be solved.
The destructive power brought by this kind of organization cannot be underestimated.
Especially under the stimulation of money, they can do things unscrupulously.
It is somewhat difficult to completely solve them.
The key is their organizational management model.
If a president is captured, a new leader will emerge, as long as their model remains.
After catching Chang Yuqing, I thought that the Zodiac Society would be able to stop, but I didn't expect that these people would become more aggressive and have no scruples.
Just like Meng Shaoyuan's time, when did you hear that MLM organizations ceased operations?
The problem cannot be solved by force alone.
Meng Shaoyuan wanted to change his approach.
Jiangxin Tower.
The previous owner of this store was from Jiangxi and had been open for seven or eight years.
Later, when the war broke out in Shanghai, people were panicked, fearing that the Japanese would invade the concession. As a result, Chang Yuqing took advantage of this opportunity and sent people to find the boss, coerce and induce him to buy it at a very low price.
The yard at the back was transformed into a casino.
Like members of the Zodiac, what should they do if they take money?
Chang Yuqing opened casinos and brothels for their consumption.
This is equivalent to the membership fee just received by the left hand, and returned to Chang Yuqing by the right hand.
This deal is a huge profit.
"Everything is ready."
Gan Ning whispered.
Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the car: "Action!"
The agents in several cars got out of the car.
Not far away, there was a truck parked.
Meng Shaoyuan and others walked into Jiangxin Tower calmly.
There were not many guests, just a few.
"Boss, there are many people..." The waiter looked frightened, but actually winked.
Those are his own people arranged by the military commander here!
"Get away!"
Gan Ning was furious and pushed the man away.
A group of military agents rushed towards the backyard like wolves and tigers.
Meng Shaoyuan took out the money and said, "Brother, make me a pot of good tea, and I'll reward you with the rest."
"Good job, boss."
At this time, there were shouts and the sound of things being smashed in the backyard.
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head. Tell me, why do you have to make such a big noise?
…
Everyone in the yard was under control, there were always about twenty or thirty people.
Meng Shaoyuan walked in slowly holding a pot of tea and a teacup.
After putting down the teapot and tea cups, he lifted a chair from the ground and sat down, pouring a cup of tea: "Who is from the Zodiac?"
No one spoke.
"I ask again, who is the Zodiac?"
Still no one spoke.
Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of tea: "No one admits it? Then all calculations will be based on the Zodiac Society. Come on!"
"Etc., etc."
A lean man quickly raised his hand: "I'm not, I'm not. I'm from Tianma Hall, and our hall leader is Tang Qianxiang."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Meng Shaoyuan's attitude was quite kind: "Take him out for verification. If it is true, let him go. Just say that I, Meng Shaoyuan, only have trouble with the Zodiac Society. The various gangs and factions in Shanghai, and those who help the Zodiac Society, are mine." Enemy. There will always be a chance to meet those who help me in the future. But if he makes it up there, I will knock out all his teeth one by one!"
With such a beginning, several people came forward one after another and declared that they had nothing to do with the Zodiac Society.
Meng Shaoyuan did not make things difficult for them, and let them go after verifying their identities.
Gan Ning has been with Meng Shaoyuan for a long time, and they have been learning Meng Shaoyuan's methods of doing things.
Today, the main reason why Director Meng did this was to isolate the Zodiac Society.
After all, Chang Yuqing is a member of the Qing Gang's "tong" generation.
As far as Shanghai is concerned at present, his seniority is very affordable.
Meng Shaoyuan is delivering a clear message to all the gang members:
The military commander is ready to focus on attacking the Zodiac Society. He doesn't want to be smelly, so he knows what to do.
At least, the military commander is still relatively polite to these officials.
Another person also stated that he was not from the Zodiac Society, but when asked which church he was from, this person muttered for a long time: "I...I..."
"Say, hesitant, don't fool around here."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "I am from the old man's family in Jinghu."
Mr. Jinghu?
Which Jinghu old man?
Someone immediately reminded in a low voice: "Zhang Renkui Zhang Jinghu."
It's him!
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.
With a scythe, he became famous and conquered a great empire. The former commander of the 76th Mixed Brigade of Jiangsu and the envoy of Tonghai Town, an army general, and the leader of the Qinggang Gang, Jinghu old man Zhang Renkui!
This Zhang Renkui's life is not ordinary.
On the one hand, he is generous and righteous. Although he has great military and political power, he has never been shy about his gang identity. This behavior has caused everyone in the southeast region, from military and political dignitaries, industrial and commercial celebrities, to local ruffians, to seek ways and means. Become his disciple. When the power of the Jianghu was known to the whole world, Zhang Renkui changed his style. He disappeared in the wind and clouds, omitted the title of "Guardian Envoy", and only issued orders under the title of "Old Master Jinghu" of the Qing Gang.
Because the dragon has its head but not its tail, many people in the world only know that the Qing Gang's "Old Master Jinghu" has great supernatural powers, but they don't know that "Old Master Jinghu" and the governor of Tonghai are actually the same person.
In 1924, a war broke out between Zhili and Anhui over the struggle for Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Zhang Renkui, who was nearly sixty years old, sized up the situation and raised the sickle again to help Qi Xieyuan of the Zhili clique attack Lu Yongxiang of Anhui.
Less than a month after the battle, Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui clique was defeated and fled to Japan, handing over the beach of Shili Yangchang to the Zhili clique. This meant that the Jianghu forces of the "Old Master Jinghu" had flooded the Shanghai rivers and lakes.
On Zhang Renkui's 60th birthday, more than 800 well-known figures from the military, political, business, gang and other circles came to congratulate him. Even the chairman of the National Committee at the time sent a specially written birthday couplet:
"The star of the military world is the leader of the gang." It is said that the birthday couplet was sent along with the chairman's apprenticeship letter.
Even in the wind and clouds, the mountains are showing their peaks. This kind of posture and this kind of glory are what Du Yuesheng later strived for.
Zhang Renkui also had the wisdom to retreat from the rapids. In order to avoid being squeezed out by the new dignitaries, he first quietly returned the chairman's post as a disciple, and then withdrew from the military and disappeared, living in "Fan Garden" on the beach as his Shanghai residence. The old man from Jianghu has gone.
Since then, Zhang Renkui has been a master of martial arts. Du Yuesheng's iconic "gossip" in the future was actually not his original creation, but the old man from Jinghu.
During that period, Mr. Jinghu’s “just a few words” resolved many turmoils in Shanghai, and I don’t know how many people worshiped Mr. Jinghu sincerely because of his invisible power.
According to the old Jianghu in Shanghai, the old man from Jinghu has used his sharp edge and reserved power as powerful as the rivers and lakes, attracting powerful celebrities from all over the world to want to worship him and join his "benevolent society".
"That's it." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Go, go, talk to the old man yourself. The old man hates the Japanese the most in his life."
"Yes, yes." The man quickly left in shame.
There was no one else, the rest were all from the Zodiac.
Meng Shaoyuan asked calmly: "Who are the Chinese and who are the Japanese?"
I saw a short man stand up and said loudly in Japanese:
"I am Yuji Tabuchi, a samurai of the Imperial Japanese Empire. Kill as you please!"
"What kind of samurai? You are just a ronin, do you deserve to be called a samurai?" Meng Shaoyuan also said in Japanese: "Don't flatter yourself, I will kill you like a chicken. Are your bosses Jiafu and Hong?"
"yes."
"I have some friendship with Jiafu and Hong." Meng Shaoyuan said casually: "We have to give him face this time. All Japanese can leave."
He observed very carefully and saw a person squatting there who had been listening carefully to their words. When he heard the words "I have some friendship with Jiafu and Hong", his body moved a little.
Meng Shaoyuan's method of identifying Japanese people is also very simple. Anyone who can speak Japanese will let them go.
At the end, the man also stood up: "I am Japanese too."
You are a ghost Japanese.
This was spoken in half-baked Japanese.
"Oh, let's go, let's go."
Meng Shaoyuan just pretended that he didn't know anything and waved his hand.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
"The rest are all Chinese from the Zodiac Society and will be taken away."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said coldly:
"Speak to me, is the Zodiac going to fight me? Then let's fight to the end!"
One by one, the Zodiac members stood up and walked outside under the loud scolding of the agents.
Anyone who walks slowly will be kicked immediately.
Soon, Liu Hanxian, Jiafu and Hong will know the news.
