Zhao Tiezhu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he bent up and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang is right, these days, whoever survives to the end will be the winner."
"That's right, in Shanghai 50 years ago, there were too many romantic figures. In addition to the top leader of the Green Gang, there were also Wang Li Erlong. Wang Li Erlong back then was second only to the leader of the Green Gang, and behind him were the three heroes of the Huangpu River. , the Eight Eccentrics of Xuhui District, they were all top-notch figures. As a result, Wang and Li Erlong were free for three to five years before they were killed by the government. They were sent to Qinling Prison and later died inexplicably. San Ying and Ba Wei are not dead and crippled. Three years ago, I saw San Ying’s second son in the fish market. He had lost one leg and was blind in one eye, but his My fortune is good. I set up a stall in the fish market, and now my son is doing it."
As Mr. Zhang spoke, he looked reminiscing.
Zhao Tiezhu was standing at this time. Mr. Zhang did not invite him to sit down. He was too lazy to sit down. He just stood and looked at Mr. Zhang. Sometimes, you have to respect the old man, even if his status is worse than yours. , your status is not as high as yours, but, as the saying goes, people have eaten more salt than you have pooped, so if people are willing to tell you about the past, they are giving you some tips. This is a good thing, so you will get more. Respect others.
There is nothing good about Zhao Tiezhu, he just likes to respect the old and love the young.
"What people who are wandering around the world need most is not how high you stand or how famous you are, but how you can get a good death when everything is fading away. Whoever walks in the world needs a good death." You don’t have enemies. Maybe when you are in the spotlight, people don’t dare to do anything to you, but after you retire, there is no guarantee that others will not settle the scores. A veteran of the SH Youth Gang twenty years ago may also feel that there is no point in being in the world. It made sense, so I took my family back to my hometown, planning to retire. As a result, a week later, the whole family was found dead at home, with all their heads chopped off. At that time, the leader of the Qing Gang was furious and ordered everyone to die. I finally found out that I was an enemy of the veteran more than ten years ago. He had to endure it for more than ten years before gathering people to take revenge on you when you retired. Although that person was eventually killed by the Qing Gang. After being skinned, the death could not be more miserable, but the veteran of the Qing Gang died after all, and the death was particularly worthless. The family's assets of hundreds of millions can only be taken back by the Qing Gang. Think about it, No matter how prosperous you were back then, what's the use of it? Your head was chopped off and you became the headless ghost."
As Mr. Zhang spoke, he shook his head with emotion.
Zhao Tiezhu continued to listen with a smile. These things all belong to unofficial history. Zhao Tiezhu has probably heard of them, but not as clearly as today.
"Oh, when people get older, it's easy to think of things from the past,"
Mr. Zhang slapped his head and said with an apologetic smile, "I forgot to ask you to sit down, Tie Zhu, you are such an honest kid. Didn't I tell you that you don't know how to sit down? Hurry up and sit down, Xiaolong." , why are you still standing there, getting a chair for your brother Tiezhu, when will you, a kid, be able to grow up, you are so ignorant, ugh,"
Zhang Long didn't look unhappy at all because he was scolded. On the contrary, he said with a smile on his face, "I know, I know, look at my brain, ugh,"
As he spoke, Zhang Long pushed a sofa over from the side until the entire sofa was pushed behind Zhao Tiezhu, and then he stopped.
Zhao Tiezhu smiled and said, "Zhang Long, you are so strong."
"Hey, Brother Zhao, I've already fought with you, and I've got some practice," Zhang Long smiled shyly.
"Tiezhu, when did you come here?" Mr. Zhang asked, holding Zhao Tiezhu's hand.
"Only the first two or three days," Zhao Tiezhu said.
"That's true of you. I told you last time that when you come to sh, you must come and sit with me. We were in the West Lake Art Museum and we had a lot of chats," Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
"We really had a great time chatting," Zhao Tiezhu was no longer the fool he was before. Naturally, he knew that he would see this old man in the West Lake Art Museum. It was probably arranged intentionally, so Zhao Tiezhu's face , I have seen through your expression to some extent.
Mr. Zhang seemed a little unconcerned and said to himself, "In the blink of an eye, one year has passed, and you have grown from a child back to the giant you are now. Southeast King, tsk tsk tsk, I don't know either. How long has it been since I heard these three words? It seems that only a giant ** who lived more than 40 years ago has received such a title."
"Oh," Zhao Tiezhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who was it more than forty years ago?"
"I forgot the name, but it seems that my surname is Cao," Mr. Zhang said, "But it seems that he didn't die well later, and the entire family was wiped out, alas."
Zhao Tiezhu was a little shocked now. According to Mr. Zhang, the person surnamed Cao is obviously Cao Ziyi's family. "This is someone who couldn't retire and was found."
Mr. Zhang said.
Zhao Tiezhu was finally relieved. He had been wondering at the beginning why Cao Ziyi's family would be exterminated. What kind of hatred could make people do such a thing? I'm sorry that Cao Ziyi's family wanted to retire but didn't, and then they were killed. The whole family was wiped out.
"Old man, I have always had a doubt,"
Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"What's the doubt?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"Why do you want to retire for no reason?"
Zhao Tiezhu asked, "Since we have reached such a height, let's continue to develop like that. For example, the Qinggang has always been like this. It has developed from the Republic of China to now."
"Haha, you don't understand this,"
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "The development of any gang cannot escape the word rise and fall. When there is prosperity, there will naturally be decline, and many people will retire because they are afraid of this decline. As the saying goes, things must turn against each other when the gang reaches its peak. When the time comes, many people will choose to retreat bravely, and then transfer the gang to someone they trust, or simply their own descendants, and then find a place where no one is around to live in seclusion. This way, on the one hand, it can be easier, and on the other hand, it can also prevent When your gang is in decline and others come looking for you, it will be easier for you to escape. To put it simply, any person in mixed society is carrying a debt. If you leave while your gang is strong, Many people may be afraid to do anything to you, and if your gang declines, you may not be able to leave even if you want to. This can also be called the escape route for people in the world."
