"Muzishan, have you forgotten me?" The speaker was Sister Lin, who had been going through hardships in the cage with Muzishan for more than a month.
Sister Lin had been sitting at the entrance of the basement and witnessed all this. Muzishan returned to the basement door and carried Sister Lin on his back.
She looked at the people lying on the ground and smiled slightly and said, "Ah Shan, I didn't expect you to have a bodhisattva heart. These people treat you like this, and you just knocked them unconscious. That damn fat guy tortures you endlessly every day. I will I wish I could cramp his muscles and peel off his bones, but you just crippled one of his hands."
"A friend of mine once said, seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and avoid karma."
"That movement of yours is a bit interesting."
"This is what my friend taught me. He said that if you learn this, no one can catch up with me."
Sister Lin was really curious about what kind of person this friend in Muzi Mountain Pass was, who could pass on such incredible skills to others casually.
Sister Lin was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "My name is Cheng Lin, Ah Shan, please come back to Hongbang with me."
There were three cars parked in the courtyard of the village house, as well as several motorcycles. There was a limousine in the car that was particularly conspicuous. Muzishan didn't even look at the limousine and got into the shabbiest Japanese car. The hard work of these days can be said to have transformed him. His vision, state of mind and ability are far beyond ordinary people, and the way he thinks about things is completely different from before. He chose the most ordinary car that is least likely to attract attention, which is the wisest choice.
Muzishan put Cheng Lin in the back seat, and then threw a large bag of belongings in the trunk. The reason why he took those gangster belongings was because in his eyes, these belongings were just food, clothing, and a bed. .
In the arena, giving one's full name is a sign of respect and trust for people, and it also means that you want to make friends. Chen Lin, who was sitting slumped in the back row, saw that Mu Zishan didn't say a word after getting in the car, so she asked, " Ah Shan, what are your plans in the future?"
Muzishan said, "I plan to go back to Jiangnan to find my father and brother."
"Do you know why you were sent to Xiangjiang? I don't think it's the wisest choice for you to go back and find your family now."
Muzishan didn't answer, he seemed to be thinking seriously.
"Sister Lin, tell me about the world of Xiangjiang."
Cheng Lin knew that this talented young man must have had an idea to understand this, so she explained patiently.
"There are now three major gangs in Xiangjiang: the Hong Gang, the Alphabet Gang, and the Yihe Gang. In fact, there was only the Hong Gang more than 40 years ago. The Alphabet Gang and the Yihe Gang were all forces that broke away from the Hong Gang.
The gangsters in that village house were members of the Alphabet Gang. The Alphabet Gang has always had a strong political background. They were funded by Dongning officials and developed rapidly for a period of time after their establishment, with more than hundreds of thousands of people helping them. Later, they were suppressed by the authorities and gradually faded out of Xiangjiang. In recent years, their main activities have been in the gambling city of Haojiang and some remote suburbs of Xiangjiang. Now there are about 40,000 gang members.
The Yihe Gang is also called Yizitou. It broke away from the Hong Gang 20 years ago. The earliest gang was composed of some foreigners working in Xiangjiang. They have always followed the elder system. The gang has always been governed by five elders. Such a system has both advantages and disadvantages. Forced by the situation in recent years, the hidden dangers of Feng Qiyungong's elder system have become prominent. The differences have become more serious, leading to a lot of internal fighting and a large loss of members. They are the Hong Gang's main rivals in Hong Kong, and now the Yihe Gang has more than 30,000 members.
The Hong Gang has a long history that can be traced back to the previous dynasty. The current Hong Gang is no longer what it was forty years ago. After successive splits, the authority of the leader of the hall is not as good as before. There are twelve halls under the leader. The twelve gangs work independently, and today's Hong Gang is more like a tight alliance. The current leader of the Hong Gang, Brother Yi, can be regarded as my backer in Xiangjiang. "
After listening to Cheng Lin's story, Mu Zishan asked, "What kind of person is Brother Yi?"
The corners of Cheng Lin's mouth turned up slightly. She knew that this boy was indeed shaken.
"Brother Yi, he is a man who understands rewards and punishments, values friendship, is wise, and is strong in the gang. He always speaks the truth."
"Doesn't sound like he's in a gang."
"What should gang members look like?"
"Cruel, ruthless, unscrupulous, putting more emphasis on profit than justice. Loyalty is just their slogan." Muzishan has some experience with these things. The road in the black world is actually more difficult to walk than other roads. Sometimes they All legal and moral constraints will be abandoned, and all rules and behaviors will be based only on righteousness and benefit. When interests outweigh justice in their hearts, they will have no scruples.
"You may be right, but I think Brother Yi may be an exception." Speaking of this, Li Lin seemed to be recalling the past.
After a while, Cheng Lin said again, "Why do you want to ask about this? Have you figured out whether you want to go back with me?"
"I think what Sister Lin said makes sense. If I go back now, I might still bring trouble to my family. My former friend once said the same thing to me."
"Your friend is very interesting. I am becoming more and more curious. I really want to meet him."
Speaking of Zhang Qi, Muzishan showed a rare smile, "He is a great beauty. I believe he will find a way to help me take care of my family."
"You just trust that friend of yours."
"Yes, he is the first real friend I have made in my life. I don't know how they are now."
...
This is a villa complex by the sea. There is a huge Chinese-style building in the middle of four Western-style villas. The building is mainly made of wooden structure, with a steady and majestic atmosphere.
Muzishan is now led into the house by a middle-aged man wearing a dark coat. The decoration style of the house is consistent with the appearance, with carved beams and painted pillars, wooden carved doors and windows, and every furnishing in the house contains ancient meanings, including calligraphy, paintings, and plaques. Pictures, hanging screens, bonsai, porcelain, antiques, screens, ancient shelves, etc. are all placed just right, adding a bit of solemnity and elegance to the house.
In front of Muzishan is a pair of huge wooden inner doors. As they approached, the wooden door slowly opened. What comes into view is a large hall. There is a plaque hanging in the hall with the words "One Hall of Loyalty" written on it. There is a large shrine under the plaque, which enshrines a life-like statue of Brother Guan.
There are now two rows of people standing on both sides of the hall. Most of them were wearing dark-colored gowns, and they all looked fierce. At a glance, you could tell that most of them were people from the world. There is a man sitting in the middle of the room. He looks to be in his forties, with a well-proportioned figure and an elegant appearance. He is wearing a white Tang suit, satin shoes, and his hair is parted in four or six sections and neatly erected.
Muzishan could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from this person. This person should be Brother Yi, the boss of the Hong Gang.
