Chapter 29 Two slaps
As the capital of the Nationalist Government, Nanjing is, after all, the face of a country.
Therefore, the Nationalist government has made great efforts to crack down on pornography, gambling, and drugs in recent years.
At least they didn't dare to do business openly and went underground one after another.
Of course, this requires paying protection fees to many government departments.
Especially the police, this is their natural nemesis.
But if the nemesis also becomes a protective umbrella...
Located in a small alley on Shengyuan Road in Xinjiekou, in a small enclosed courtyard with walls, life is full of excitement.
This is a famous underground casino in Nanjing.
It is said that the background of the casino is so tough that the police will not touch it at all.
The daily turnover of the casino here is at least 300,000 yuan.
The person watching the show is called "Green Eyes A Biao", and he is from "Sheng Yi Tang".
He knew that this casino actually belonged to Hang Lung Trading Company, and Sheng Yi Tang was only here to protect it.
The person in charge of the casino is Lu Yixuan, who is nicknamed "Four-Eyed Yama".
The origin of this nickname is also quite interesting.
Lu Yixuan usually wears glasses and is a gentle man.
In the 30th year of Guangxu's reign, that is, 1903, Cixi's 70th birthday, the last joint examination in China's long history of imperial examinations began.
The examination took the form of Enke and ended in 1904. At that time, a total of 273 Jinshi were selected.
Lu Yixuan is one of these 273 Jinshi.
The destinies of these 273 Jinshi were all different, and some achieved great success and were remembered in history, such as Shen Junru, Tan Yankai and others.
Some are unknown.
For example, Lu Yixuan.
He was always unhappy in his official career, and finally drifted to Nanjing and took refuge under Xu Deshan.
He does have some talent, and he was born in a Shanxi merchant family and has a good business acumen. Xu Deshan originally wanted to arrange for him to help him manage his business, but he found that this man had the biggest problem:
He is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others.
For this reason, all the old people in Xu Deshan's original company were offended, and they all spoke ill of him in front of Xu Deshan.
Xu Deshan had no choice but to drive him away, but he couldn't bear to part with him. After all, he was the last scholar in the Qing Dynasty, so it was good to use it to decorate his appearance.
Therefore, Xu Deshan arranged for him to stay in the casino on Shengyuan Road to temporarily help him take care of the casino business.
Lu Yixuan would never give in.
But what can be done? He got into a big trouble in Shanxi, and he definitely can't go back to his hometown. He has to eat while living abroad.
The casino was as lively as ever.
Lu Yixuan came out sniffing snuff. The mixed smells in the casino made him feel very uncomfortable.
Those people who wear short coats and work part-time jobs during the day and earn a few dollars with hard work, as soon as they get the money, they can’t wait to get into the casino, insisting on using the money they earned through their own hard work in just a few minutes.
I would rather give it all to the casino.
There are also some penniless gamblers who make a living by waiting on those gamblers and saying good things to them.
Once the guests win and are in a good mood, they will be rewarded with a few.
Some of these gamblers had not eaten for a whole day. As soon as they got the reward, they first bought a sesame seed cake in the casino to satisfy their hunger, and then they rushed to the gambling table impatiently.
How could I, a dignified Jinshi, get mixed up with these people?
Four or five blue-eyed A Biao's thugs surrounded a gambler, punching and kicking him.
Blue-eyed A Biao sneered on the side: "How dare you cheat here? I'll chop off his right hand."
"Hey, why bother, why bother."
Lu Yixuan sighed repeatedly.
This is the business of Mr. Xu Deshan and Xu, and it is covered by "Shengyi Tang"!
Suddenly, there was a "bang" and someone knocked open the door.
Then I saw seven or eight people wearing Chinese tunic suits and top hats rushing in.
"who!"
Blue Eyes A Biao gave an order, and immediately, five casino thugs stopped caring about the thousands of gamblers on the ground, pulled out their axes and stood in front of them.
But then the axes in their hands were put down.
These uninvited guests all have guns in their hands!
Encountered a tough situation.
Lu Yixuan bravely faced him and raised his fist: "The clouds are floating in the sky..."
"Snapped!"
A slap hit Lu Yixuan hard on the face.
Lu Yixuan was completely stunned.
"Piao your mother!" Yuan Zhonghe said fiercely: "The Second Division of the Military Command Bureau arrests people, who is in charge!"
The Second Division of the Military Unification Bureau? Lixingshe?
Lu Yixuan covered the left side of his face: "I am, I am..."
"Snapped!"
Yuan Zhonghe slapped Lu Yixuan on the right cheek with his backhand: "Take him away!"
Lu Yixuan almost cried.
Why are these Lixingshe agents so unreasonable? How many words did you say in total, and you got two slaps?
"etc!"
As a watcher, he takes people's money and eliminates disasters for them. Qingyan Abiao is also well-known in the world. How could he watch these people take Lu Yixuan away after receiving orders from Gao Shenxing?
He took a step forward: "Even if you take someone with you, you still have to reason. Why do you have to take him? What law did he break? I can go back and explain to the boss."
Is there anyone else who dares to show off?
Everyone in the Sixth Squadron held their breath because Captain Meng was in the hands of Captain Meng. As soon as he received the order, Yuan Zhonghe immediately brought other agents from the Second Squadron to kill them.
Those two slaps were given to Captain Meng.
Yuan Zhonghe looked up and down: "Who are you?"
"My dear Qingyan Abiao, I am a member of the Shengyi Hall sect! With my talent, snowflakes fill the sky!"
"Snowflakes all over the sky?" Yuan Zhonghe grinned: "I think you are going to see bloody blood!"
"boom!"
"ah!"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Yuan Zhonghe raised his hand and shot, hitting Qingyan Abiao's instep.
Blue-eyed Abiao fell to the ground holding his feet and screaming miserably.
The gamblers who had been watching the fun just now were suddenly in chaos.
"Quiet the hell out of here!" Yuan Zhonghe pointed at the green-eyed A Biao on the ground: "Take this guy away for me, too. Scholars have to stand out, right? You're full of fucking snow, right?"
I’ll beat you until you’re covered in blood!”
All the men of Blue Eyed A Biao were dumbfounded.
Why are these agents so unreasonable?
The people brought by Yuan Zhonghe were also temporary reinforcements from the Second Squadron, and they all looked at each other at this time.
The people in Team 6 are so arrogant.
If you say hit someone, hit someone, if you say shoot, shoot someone.
You know, this is Xu Deshan's place.
Yes, I heard that Meng Shaoyuan, the captain of the Sixth Squadron, has temporarily acted as the captain of the Second Squadron. From now on, if you work under him, you guys should just keep your tail between your legs.
If you offend him, you will definitely get no good fruit...
…
Lu Yixuan and Qingyan Abiao were not taken to the second location, but to a warehouse on the main road in the north of Nanjing.
The most exquisite buildings in Nanjing are gathered here, which are the products of the Westernization Movement of that year.
As soon as they entered, Lu Yixuan and Qingyan Abiao smelled a fragrant smell.
What smells so good?
Then, they saw an incredible scene:
Chapter completed!
