An ordinary-looking courtyard house, this is the home of the Boxer Society.
Blind Man Hong is in his fifties, and his real name is Hong Daqi. He is called Blind Man Hong because he has an eye disease that causes tears in the wind and wears brown sunglasses all year round.
Most people wouldn't dare to call him that to his face, so at least he has to call him "Hong Ye" respectfully!
The predecessor of the Boxer Society was the Boxer Boxer, which was a group of people who chanted incantations and used their bodies to block bullets.
Later, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Forbidden City. Empress Dowager Cixi issued the "Edict of Sin" and signed the Xin Chou Treaty, which was humiliating and humiliating the country. The Boxer Boxing also changed from a "rebel army" to a "boxer bandit"!
The reputation of Boxing Boxing was not good. With the support of the Qing court, it destroyed all public facilities with the word "Western" in it, such as burning churches, destroying railway lights, and even killing innocent people indiscriminately!
Back then, at Caishikou, hundreds of boxers were beheaded on charges of rebellion, and the onlookers cheered loudly. This is where the story of the bloody buns came from.
Many people criticize fellow countrymen for being insensitive, but little do they know that this is all karma!
In the name of patriotism, people do some dirty things of bullying men and dominating women. The common people have long hated Yihe Quan.
Boxer Boxing has since disappeared, and the remaining diehards can only operate underground.
As time went by, the Boxer Boxing was renamed the Boxer Association, and by Hong Xiazi's generation, it had completely become a gang-like organization.
Today is the day to share the spoils, and all the big and small bosses came to report their "achievements" to Blind Man Hong.
The Boxer Club imitates the Liangshan Bo Juyi Hall. In the middle is a Taishi chair with a big word "righteousness" behind it. On both sides, there are more than twenty people sitting in rows according to seniority.
"Boss, someone wants to see you." A subordinate came in to report.
Blind man Hong was sitting on the high Taishi chair, playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and said in a slow and orderly manner: "Who wants to see me?"
"Zhang Jinbiao." His subordinate replied.
"That Zhang Jinbiao from 18th Street?"
"yes."
Blind Hong said suspiciously: "Why did he come here?"
The Cunning Rabbit has three burrows, Blind Man Hong has four houses in total, covertly and covertly, and Lion Alley is the home of the Boxer Association, so it is easy for outsiders not to know the details.
Blind man Hong sat up straight, pondered for a while, and said, "Just say I'm inviting!"
Zhang Jinbiao is also a reputable person, and Blind Hong doesn't want to offend him easily. After all, he is getting older now, and it is no good to have enemies on all sides.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xinyu and Zhang Jinbiao walked in one after the other.
Blind man Hong stood up to greet him and said with a dry smile: "Brother Zhang is here. What advice do you have?"
"Master Hong, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. To be honest, I lost a bag at Zhongyuan Department Store yesterday. I hope Master Hong can give me some face and help find the bag." Zhang Jinbiao said.
"Oh... It's easy to talk. Brother Zhang, please sit down." Blind Hong felt relieved, Zhang Jinbiao wanted to ask for help from him, and it was not surprising to find out about Shizi Hutong.
Zhang Jinbiao stepped away and said to Jiang Xinyu: "Mr. Jiang, please sit down."
Seeing this move, Blind Man Hong noticed that Jiang Xinyu, who he thought was Zhang Jinbiao's subordinate, turned out to be a big shot after causing trouble for a long time!
Blind Man Hong looked at Jiang Xinyu and said politely: "May I ask, who is this brother?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "I am the owner."
Jiang Xinyu refused to say his name. Blind Hong was a little unhappy and said coldly: "Ordinarily, Brother Zhang has spoken, so I have to give him this face. However, the rules of the Boxer Society mean that help cannot be in vain. I found the thing
, add two to one and make five!”
Jiang Xinyu was noncommittal and asked: "How long will it take to find it?"
Blind Man Hong chuckled and said, "It won't take more than one stick of incense at most!"
"Okay! I'll wait!" Jiang Xinyu said.
He knew very well that Hong Xiazi's praise of Haikou meant that the guy who snatched the bag should be nearby!
Blind Man Hong waved over one of his subordinates, whispered a few words, and the subordinate hurriedly walked out.
A few minutes later, the peaked hat man walked in. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Jiang Xinyu, but he didn't say anything more. He came to Blind Man Hong, bowed and said, "Master Hong."
"Did you find the thing?" Hong Xiazi said seriously.
"Found it." The peaked hat handed over the satchel in his hand.
Blind Man Hong opened his satchel and inspected it. Inside was a thick stack of large-denomination banknotes and an unopened bottle of perfume. Looking at the foreign writing on it, he knew it was worth a lot.
"As for the money, I will keep half of it and return the other things in their original form, so I won't worry about it." Blind Man Hong said pretending to be generous.
Jiang Xinyu pointed at the peaked cap and said, "He is the thief. Are you going to let me share the stolen goods with the thief?"
Blind man Hong's face darkened, and he said: "As agreed beforehand, I will help you find things, add two to one and make five, and now you are doing this again, where is the Boxer Conference!"
There were more than twenty leaders of the Boxer Association in the hall, all with stern looks on their faces. They only waited for the boss to give the order and rushed forward to beat the troublemaker half to death.
Jiang Xinyu said solemnly: "Since you have asked, let me answer you! The Yihe Society hides filth and commits evil everywhere. It has become a disaster for Yanjin. You are the chief culprit. According to the laws of the Republic of China, your crime is unpardonable!
"
Mr. Hong slammed the table, suddenly stood up, and said sternly: "What a strong tone! No matter who you are, I can guarantee that you will not be able to leave this door today!"
Zhang Jinbiao didn't know the inside story, and Jiang Xinyu didn't tell him the truth. He only said that he came to blind man Hong to ask for the lost property. Seeing that the two sides were at war with each other, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hong, please calm down and everything will be fine."
Damn, why bother making such a fuss?"
Blind Man Hong stared at Jiang Xinyu for a long time, then slowly sat back on his chair. He was a seasoned veteran, and would not dare to mess around without knowing the details of the other party.
When I was young, when my brain got hot, I would rush forward with a knife. No matter who you are, just cut someone to pieces first!
Things are different now. After so many years of hard work, I have accumulated a large fortune and have several concubines. We must consider the consequences!
To put it more clearly, Blind Man Hong is worried!
"Okay, for Brother Zhang's sake, I will make an exception. You can take this bag!" Hong Xiazi waved his hand, and the peaked hat gave Jiang Xinyu the satchel.
Jiang Xinyu opened his satchel and looked at it. Tong Tong's things were exactly the same, and said, "Besides this bag, there is another account to settle."
Blind Man Hong suppressed his anger, tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and said, "Little brother, I took a big step back because I wanted to make you a friend. Don't go too far!"
"Be friends with me? Blind man Hong, are you worthy?" Jiang Xinyu said with a sarcastic face.
This sentence completely ignited Hong Xiazi's anger. He said with a livid face: "I understand, you are here to cause trouble! Someone, please close the door!"
