As the fighting continued, the streets gradually calmed down.
Some shopkeepers leaned against the cracks in doors and windows and carefully looked out. They could see Ma Zi from Heshun Hall lying on the ground moaning.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
The people from Heshun Hall were divided into two groups and blocked both sides, but Chen Zhengwei and his men killed them one after another. Half of the dozen or so people behind escaped, and even Zhi Goutian was thrown down.
Chen Zhengwei grabbed Zhi Goutian's collar with one hand and dragged him back.
"Brother Wei!" Yan Qingyou led a dozen people to Chen Zhengwei, his eyes filled with excitement and ecstasy.
"we won!"
Before Chen Zhengwei could say anything, they themselves started cheering.
Each of these people was covered in blood, and almost all of them were injured, but no one cared about the pain at this time.
Unexpectedly, the people in Heshun Hall were dispersed so smoothly.
You must know that Heshuntang's number is several times theirs, but there is not much resistance during the battle.
It can only be said that in such a small-scale battle, a few guns can affect the entire situation.
What's more, Chen Zhengwei first captured Zhi Gou Tian, then killed Daye, and then took the lead and chopped down several of them.
The people of Heshun Hall were already leaderless, and they were suppressed in terms of momentum, so the defeat was natural.
After all, they are just axemen, not axemen.
"Brother Wei, what are you looking at?" Others couldn't help but ask when they saw that Chen Zhengwei kept looking up at the sky.
"Let's see if it rains tonight! There is blood all over the ground and the smell is so strong..." There are not even dark clouds in the sky. It seems that there will be no rain tonight.
"Take a count, how are our casualties?" Chen Zhengwei ordered.
It took less than two minutes to count them out.
"Leopard Boy is dead..."
Bao Zai was from the Chen family in Wen Village. He was accidentally chopped on the neck just now and died soon after.
"One has a broken hand, three have broken fingers, and the rest are also injured."
Even if the people of Heshun Hall were defeated at the beginning, there would inevitably be casualties and disabilities. Fighting with cold weapons is so bloody.
Chen Zhengwei nodded. This is how it is in this era. If you want to get ahead, you have to risk your life. And even if you don’t work hard and just want to work hard and make money for food, you may not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
On the more than 3,000 kilometers of the Pacific Railway in the United States, more than 15,000 Chinese workers died, with a mortality rate of more than 15%.
And what did they exchange for their lives? In exchange for discrimination, in exchange for banning Chinese women from entering the United States, in exchange for the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Chen Zhengwei's eyes turned around, and those young people were looking at him with burning eyes.
Although some people died and some were disabled, these people were not too sad, just a little regretful.
Human life is cheap these days, and this kind of thing has become commonplace.
Chen Zhengwei found that many people's injuries did not look like they had been hacked, but he was too lazy to say that, after all, they are working for you.
A smile appeared on his face and he shouted to everyone:
"Heshun Hall's territory is now ours!"
Everyone cheered again.
With the territory, you no longer have to be bullied by those ghost guys in the future!
After waiting for a while, the group of excited young people calmed down.
"Let's take care of the aftermath first. Those with serious injuries will be bandaged first. For those with minor injuries, go knock open the shops on both sides and let them come out to wash the floor!"
"As for these people from Heshun Hall..." Chen Zhengwei's eyes turned around the moaning ax man of Heshun Hall lying on the ground. Most of these people were only injured.
"Break off the thumbs of the alive ones and throw them out into the street. Find two cars to take away the dead ones and throw them into the sea."
After Chen Zhengwei's instructions, everyone dispersed and sent some people to be treated for their injuries. Others went from door to door and knocked open the shops on the street, asking the people in those shops to come out and wash the floor.
At the same time, the people from Heshun Hall were dragged away. Of course, cleaning the battlefield was actually a fat job. Those people from Heshun Hall had some belongings on them.
There were only a few people left beside Chen Zhengwei. Chen Zhengwei lowered his head and looked at Zhi Goutian. At this time, Zhi Goutian had broken a hand and had several injuries on his body, which were accidentally injured just now.
The two horse boys dragging him were loyal and used him as a shield.
At this time, Zhi Goutian had lost too much blood, his face was pale, and he had already passed out.
"Send this guy a ride! Then we'll deal with it with the others! Find out where his home is." Chen Zhengwei ordered, turning around and entering the casino.
He estimated that all the remaining assets from the deal should be at home.
After all, it seems that this person doesn't understand English at first glance, so he definitely can't go to the bank to rent a safe.
Yan Qingyou and the others looked at each other, and Yan Qingyou took out his ax and chopped it down.
After a while, people in the shops on the whole street were carrying buckets and washing the blood on the ground into the sewer ditches on both sides. From time to time, they looked up and saw some young people dragging corpses or injured people. Everyone was frightened and could not even look at them. Look around.
Chen Zhengwei returned to the room, took out half of the money from the safe and piled it on the table, then picked up a stack of IOUs and looked through them.
"There are so many people who owe me money?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows. These IOUs totaled more than a thousand yuan.
They are all owed by gamblers in the casino and some surrounding shops.
In addition to this, there are several ledgers.
Chen Zhengwei looked through it and found that they were from casinos, opium dens and prostitutes.
Zhi Goutian was so busy that he even engaged in human trafficking. He had people abduct women from the country and then sent them to prostitutes to pick up clients.
"Fuck, are you so inhuman? You deserve to be hacked to death!" Chen Zhengwei cursed a few words, put the account book on the table, and thought in his mind.
In Chinatown, prostitution is actually a resource.
There are too few women.
Even if the brothel is not run by the Tangkou, in addition to paying the protection fee, it must also give priority to the Tangkou's business in exchange for the Tangkou's protection.
"You are lucky! You met such a kind person like me!" Chen Zhengwei believed that he was not a bad person and could not do such a thing as abducting women and sending them to prostitution.
Of course, if someone was willing to make money in a brothel, that was none of his business.
After a while, all the people who were sent returned to the casino. When they saw a pile of money piled on the table, everyone's eyes suddenly showed joy.
"Come on, come up one by one and get the money!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and called everyone to come up one by one and get the money.
"Thank you Brother Wei!" A man came up and took the money from Chen Zhengwei's hand, then wiped the blood off his clothes and counted it over and over again.
Chen Zhengwei took the trouble to distribute the money to everyone and let them know who sent the money to them. This is the most important thing.
After giving out the money, Chen Zhengwei smiled again and said:
"I see that many people's clothes are torn. Everyone buys two sets of clothes and one pair of leather shoes. The money comes from me!"
Otherwise, wearing rags and rags will be a loss to his people.
Everyone cheered again.
You know, two sets of clothes and one pair of shoes cost at least ten yuan.
"In the future, we will have our own territory, and everyone's life will be better! But this is just the beginning. If you want to live well in Chinatown and not be eaten by others, you must rely on your skills and brains!"
"And our territory is not limited to this Sullivan Street!"
"When you recover from your injuries, pick up what you can do with your hands!"
"I got it, Brother Wei!" everyone said immediately.
"Okay, go out and get busy. Be careful lately, not only the people in Heshun Hall, but also the people in the hall around you!" Chen Zhengwei reminded again.
Those remnants of Heshun Hall are not a big problem.
There were only twenty or thirty people left, and they were all fast runners, and no one took the lead, so all the money fell into their own hands.
If you can't even get money out, what can you use to fight? Who is working for you? For the sake of loyalty?
If you are loyal, you won't run so fast!
However, those around him may not be able to watch and have to be on guard.
After these people left, only Chen Zhenghu, Chen Zhengshi, Yan Qingyou, and Rong Jiacai, who had a relatively high reputation, were left. Throw them a hundred yuan each.
"Thank you Viagra!"
"I'll inform the people at the pharmacy later and come to me to get the money tomorrow afternoon."
"Also, keep recruiting!"
"Brother Wei, do you mean the other gangsters will beat us?" Yan Qingyou asked a little worriedly. After all, a fight had just ended and everyone was injured.
If people from other halls come to fight... they may not be able to stop him!
"Whether they fight or not, we must expand our manpower! At the same time, pay attention to the movements of other halls."
"Have you found out where that Poujie lives?" Chen Zhengwei asked.
"I heard about it, it's not far away."
Chen Zhengwei locked the money, account books, and IOUs in the cabinet.
"Go, take me!"
