"Sister, besides the three eunuchs, can you help me kill a few more people?"
Because she was wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't see her expression clearly, the rapier girl asked me coldly: "Who do you want to kill?"
I immediately named three people.
Before the rapier girl could say anything, the man on the side immediately said: "You kid, don't push yourself too far. We promised to help you get rid of three opponents. We have already repaid Silver Fox's debt of gratitude in excess."
"I know that, you are some good guys! Don't you guys, Brother Hunshui Pao, usually accept jobs from outside? Don't worry about the price, I can afford it!"
The middle-aged man grinned: "Okay, boy, you know we are in troubled waters. I didn't expect you to know our brother Pao very well at such a young age."
In fact, regarding Pao Gehui, very few people really know them now. Their internal seniority ranking from high to low is, "Benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, merit, prestige, wisdom and peace."
Including the rapier girl, I speculate that these people in front of me should belong to the wise or mighty generation.
The highest-ranking person in Sichuan Paoge is called "Master Duo", followed by the sage master, third master, and hall master. In the past, Paoge would often arrange ten rows of chairs at meetings. The higher the status, the farther forward the row of chairs would be.
The helmsman always sits in the first row, the helmsman sits in the golden chair, the second row of chairs must be empty, the third row is for the master to sit, and the seat is carried by a soft person, then the fourth row is empty, and the fifth row is occupied by The second gentleman is sitting on the dragon and tiger stool.
The hall masters in the sixth row sat on rosewood chairs, the seventh row was empty, and the eighth and ninth rows were filled with middle- and low-level figures in the guild, sitting on ordinary chairs.
Brother Yao sits in the tenth row. Although Brother Yao sits at the end, Brother Yao has a great social status and energy. In the past, people often dared to offend the local hall master but did not dare to offend Brother Yao.
Why are the second, fourth and seventh rows empty and never occupied? There is a reason for this.
Because the pao brothers worship the second master Guan, the second row of seats is always reserved for the second master, and no living person dares to sit there.
The fourth and seventh rows were also used to seat people in the earliest times. However, it is said that traitors often appeared in the fourth and seventh rows in the past, so at the end of Qianlong's reign, the Pao Gehui canceled the fourth and seventh rows. If you go to Sichuan now, careful people will find that some hotels or KTV private rooms do not have the fourth and seventh rooms. That is because the boss has a Paoge background.
The slogan that Brother Pao used to shout was "Don't torture ordinary people, don't eat poor people, don't harm scholars." In the past, whenever someone broke the rules, such as bullying ordinary people and robbing women, they had to kneel in front of the hall and accept "three swords" Six holes” penalty.
The specific method is to let a naive child draw circles with chalk on the person who made the mistake, and stab him with a knife wherever he draws. If three circles are drawn on the legs and arms, it will be fine, and the person will survive afterwards. If a child is naughty and draws a circle on someone's forehead, they will definitely die.
Many experts say that Brother Pao values benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, and does not accept low-level people to join them. This is not true.
At its peak, the total number of members of the Pao Brother Society in the country exceeded ten million. It is impossible to say that there were no members of the Lower Ninth Class among them. It was just that the higher-ups turned a blind eye. However, there was only one sect among the Lower Ninth Class that could never join the Pao Brother Society. That's the barber.
In the 1970s and 1980s, taking Chengdu as an example, there was an interesting phenomenon: I could not find a barber shop in the whole city. When my hair grew long, family members or neighbors would just cut it casually for each other.
At that time, no one dared to openly open a barber shop there. If Mr. Tony lived in that era, he would be dragged out by Brother Pao and beaten to death.
The reason behind this scene is very simple. After the Manchus entered the customs, barbers shaved the heads of Han people and left them with big braids, so Brother Pao hated this profession very much.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the attitude of the superiors toward Pao Ge was "disband on the spot and surrender the guns without any blame." However, due to an incident that happened in Chengdu in 1950, the superiors' attitude towards the Pao Ge Association changed and became "immediately disband." Liquidation, Resisting Arrest”.
Because Chen Moumou, the chief helmsman of Pao Gehui, died of illness that year, thousands of people in Chengdu were buried in funerals. More than 50,000 people wore sackcloth and mourned, and there were running mats and opera troupes for three months! This affair cost more than 700,000 yuan, all of which was raised through donations from brothers from all over the country.
At first glance, this was not bad, but the social cohesion was too strong and had to be dealt with. So after several years of rectification, the apparent Pao Gehui almost disappeared.
During the same period, the Changchun Society in the far north was much smarter. Under the command of Zheng Dapao, they behaved very low-key, never gathering in crowds or causing trouble. So many people at that time even thought that even the Changchun Society had been disbanded. After the Pao Ge Society was disbanded in the mid-1950s, a considerable number of capable people were quietly absorbed into the Changchun Society, which made the Changchun Society the largest gang in the world today.
More than half a century has passed, things have changed, and ordinary people cannot find the entrance to Paoge Hall now. However, there is one place that is well known, and that is the Renshou Teahouse in Fengsheng Ancient Town, Banan District, Chongqing, where the "Ren" generation lives. Hall, the grandfather of a now famous female star was the head of Chongqing Paoge Huiren Hall.
I have talked about something a long time ago. In the 1980s, there were two waves of people leaving the Changchun Society. Except for the beggar Liu and Mr. Zhao from Xiangxi who were dissatisfied with the current system of the Changchun Society, the other wave of people left were those who defected to the Changchun Society. Brother Pao.
Why are they leaving?
Because the Brother Pao Society has secretly developed over the years, those Pao brothers still cannot forget their roots.
Due to local suppression and the fact that Pao Ge has gradually dispersed across the country in recent years, when they meet each other, they will say the name of the dish to indicate which region they belong to.
That's pretty much how they met.
One person said: "The earthquake is high, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages. The door faces the sea, and the three rivers merge and flow for thousands of years."
One person said: "Three rivers flow out and connect to the four seas. I look forward to seeing my fellow villagers from Sichuan and Chongqing. I recall my brother Yao. We meet each other in the teahouse back then."
The man laughed and asked: "May I ask you where the helm is now and what kind of food you eat?"
A group of people would smile and cup their hands and reply: "Guizhou Fenduo, fish in spicy and sour soup."
"Sichuan is divided into rudders and Leshan Bobo Chicken."
"Northeast branch, sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage."
"Shanxi branch, a bowl of soybean noodles."
"Guangdong divides the rudder, red flowers and white chickens are chopped."
"Northwest Branch, Lanzhou Beef Noodles."
"Shaanxi is divided into rudders and Tongguan Roujiamo."
After hearing this, the man held up his hands and said, "Brother Pao is one of the same family in the world. We have admired him for a long time!"
"I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time!"
Saying such secret things to each other.
