After Yuan Keji finished the introduction, he saw Sun Muen leading a group of people in from outside the door. When everyone in the hall saw this person as the leader, they all cheered and surrounded him. The person was immediately surrounded.

Wang Wenwu asked Yuan Keji: "Who is this person? Such a grand pomp!"

Wang Wenwu waited for a long time, but didn't see Yuan Kenji speaking. He looked over and saw Yuan Kenji himself there, asking around. It was also Yuan Kenji himself who was a gangster leader. He didn't miss a single part of his body in Tianjin.

I don’t know how I got on stage.

But compared to the gangsters in Shanghai, the gangsters in Tianjin are much more civilized. The Tianjin Qingpi may be the most bizarre group of people in modern Chinese history.

Wang Wenwu also saw how Tianjin gangsters stuttered on the streets of Tianjin. When he opened a new shop on the road, a gangster suddenly came in, smashed and cursed. The owner quickly called the guys and just beat him. The gangster lay down on the ground and hugged him.

The head and vital parts are clamped between the legs, and you can hit them without asking for mercy, just scold them.

The more he scolds you, the angrier you get and the harder you hit him, but the harder you hit him, the happier the gangster seems to be. While scolding, he will say: "Oh, it feels so comfortable, it really relieves the itch, let me scratch it again..." Yes

He also made the street scolding into an allegro. Anyone who has heard the Tianjin allegro knows the tune. Your father, your mother, your ancestors all scolded each other - in short, all kinds of strange things happened with everyone in your family.

relation.

In the end, the gangster was beaten with blood all over his body, his legs were broken, and his arms were broken. Finally, the owner took the initiative to stop the fight: "Brothers, stop fighting. This is a hero. He should be carried to the back for treatment. From now on,

The day our restaurant is open, we will give you a share of the money. Come and collect it every month."

From that day on, gangsters started eating at this restaurant.

Of course, this is not the only way to eat it. There is also a more cruel way. When a gangster loses money in gambling, he takes out a knife, cuts his finger, and then puts the severed finger on the gambling table, which means, I

Use your fingers to bet with you. This is also a common method used by gangsters.

Wang Wenwu also saw it when he passed by a gambling house. But this kind of playing method has an upper limit, only ten fingers. It is said that six-fingered ones are more cost-effective.

There are also some things to pay attention to when chopping off your fingers. First of all, you have to keep your face straight and your heart not beat, just like cutting off other people's fingers. Your fingers should be long or short: if they are long, people will say you cannot afford to lose. If you want to scare people, they will not follow you.

It's just for fun; if it's too short, people will say you are timid and won't play with you.

After cutting it off, place it on the gambling table with the wound facing you and your fingertips pointing towards the gambler. This means: If you win, just take it.

The boss also has to pretend to be nothing, and then deal the cards. If the boss wins, the bastard will get out; if the bastard wins, someone will come over, invite the bastard to the back to apply medicine, and then put out the wine and say: "You want

It is impossible to go back. From now on, you will receive money on a monthly basis."

Then why not beat the gangster to death? No, the dead person will alert the government, which may cost more. What’s more, if someone dies just after opening the business, should we still do the business?

As for why they didn’t report it to the officials, it’s because the government is also afraid of gangsters. When a gangster is arrested, a bunch of gangsters come and ask for a beating. Most of the officials are from civil servants. How have you ever seen such a battle? Let’s fight, these people are so tough.

Beating, you'll be exhausted and you won't be able to finish it. Besides, you can't beat people to death. The law doesn't allow it. In the end, the government will have to beg the gangsters. If you guys have something to say, let's leave.

….

But don’t think that you will have enough food and clothing after being beaten or having your finger broken. For gangsters, starting from the day you receive the money is equivalent to a contract being signed by both parties. Once the family encounters a life-or-death crisis, for example, someone comes to grab the territory.

, the gangster has to help the master to stand out. How to stand out? The old method is to either help and get beaten, or help to hurt yourself.

The two parties agreed to find a place for a martial arts competition. Whatever lot you get, you have to stand up for it, even the oil pan. Although Wang Wenwu has never seen this, he has heard it many times in Tianjin people's bragging and spanking.

.

Put a copper coin in the oil pan, and the oil is boiling hot. A gangster from the other side comes out and reaches out to fish the copper coin out of the oil pan. When everyone takes a look, they say: "Hero, he is a man!" The gangster here can't show weakness.

, reached out and stirred the oil in the pan, and said, "The oil is too cold, add some fire!" When the other party saw this posture, he gave in and the main store was saved. As for the gangster, his arms were burned.

However, Wang Wenwu also heard

What's even more cruel is that I don't know if this is true or not. The two parties made a fight, and while fooling around, the knife went down, and the index finger was gone. The gangster didn't cry out in pain. He also used the knife to cut off the broken finger a few times to smooth the flesh.

.

Wang Wenwu didn't know about other places. But like Tianjin, fighting for the protection fee of a street, fighting for the loading and unloading rights of a dock, and so on are all self-inflicted. Therefore, as long as the people in Tianjin are famous, there are no shortage of them.

With a few fingers, I am too embarrassed to come out to meet people.

However, why do gangsters in other places kill others, but gangsters in Tianjin kill themselves?

There must be a reason, but the most obvious reason Wang Wenwu can think of is the issue of money. Because if there is a group fight, it is normal for both parties to die and maim dozens of people, and others may be able to reap the benefits.

.The gang fights in old Tianjin were settled by sacrificing one or two people. This was the lowest-cost way to resolve the conflict.

The purpose of self-mutilation is to make the other person fearful. The subtext is, I dare to chop myself, but why am I afraid of you?

At this time, Yuan Keji inquired around and returned to Wang Wenwu.

Wang Wenwu asked: "Who is this person? This is quite a scene!"

Yuan Keji said: "I don't want to, but I asked around and I don't know who it is. Maybe only the first few people know it!"

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended this book to me, @@! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time by reading and listening to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. 】

"I can see that there are quite a few people gathered around me. How come no one knows about it?"

"I guess I figured it out. I just saw the big guys surrounding me, so I followed suit to get acquainted with them. It didn't matter who the person was or what he did!"

Wang Wenwu looked at Yuan Kenji curiously, "Then why don't you go? Look, there are a lot of people there now. If you don't go there, they will go up to the second floor."

Yuan Keji smiled and said, "People may not necessarily appreciate my small business, so I'd better not join in the fun."

After all the important people went upstairs, Wang Wenwu and Yuan Keji each looked for people who would be useful to them in the future and made more contacts.

However, because it was Wang Wenwu's first time entering Tianjin's social circle, and they were not very familiar with Wang Wenwu, most of them were polite on the surface.

However, after learning that Wang Wen was just a simple buyer, the situation was different. Wang Wenwu's requirements were not high, as long as it was cheaper than the market. However, since he, Wang Wenwu, could come to participate in the Sun family's

Banquets are not out of the question.
