Even if Hongmen Awu, who was leading the way, didn't look back, he could guess the shocked expressions of everyone in the Chaozhou Gang.
He was very satisfied with these expressions. If Hongmen can stand for a hundred years, how can it be compared to a small gang like yours in Chaozhou?
Although Ah Wu thought so, he was still a little wary of the people Hong Kun brought tonight, especially Axe Jun, Dao Zaihao and Long Kui. If he were asked to pick an opponent from among the three, there would be no chance.
The question is Ax Jun.
Ax Jun's body shape, cold expression, and calloused fists all put pressure on him.
"This is a powerful enemy!" Awu said to himself.
What Awu didn't know was that neither Chun Chun nor Yan Xiong were members of the Chaozhou Gang, but were the big bosses behind the Chaozhou Gang who led the Chaozhou Gang.
From the outside, the Zhonghua Building looks like a dormant beast. The entire building is five stories high, and it looks majestic and majestic from the outside.
The main rudder of Hongmen is located on the third floor.
Each floor is filled with five-element flags representing Hongmen's "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth". The flags rustle in the night wind and flutter in the wind.
As the protagonist tonight, Yan Xiong saw everything with his eyes and responded with a humble smile to those Hongmen disciples who were eyeing him eagerly.
When he was working as one of the Four Detectives in Hong Kong, Yan Xiong was quite capable of winning people's hearts, especially his tycoon-like approachability that made people admire him involuntarily.
Ax Jun was very curious about everything about Hongmen. He looked left and right, not paying any attention to those people who were eyeing him.
On the other hand, Hong Kun was following Ah Wu with a respectful look.
The Juyi Hall on the third floor is where the chief helmsman of Hongmen receives outsiders. At this moment, there were also several well-dressed men.
When Hong Kun and others followed Ah Wu and wanted to go in, they were stopped by the gatekeeper, who signaled to everyone that only three people could enter at a time, especially those with lower seniority, who had no chance to enter.
Yan Xiong, Hong Kun, and Ax Jun entered, while the others were waiting outside with a lot of gifts.
Entering the Juyi Hall, you can smell the fragrance on your nostrils. Looking around, you can see that the huge Juyi Hall is like a sacrificial venue. There are swords, guns, swords and halberds beside it. In front of it is an incense altar, offering sacrifices to the five ancestors of Hongmen.
Incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits were all placed on the table. Sandalwood was inserted into the incense burner, and white smoke curled up.
At this time, more than a dozen well-dressed men gathered in the hall, standing proudly like javelins behind four Taishi chairs. Four old men were sitting on the Taishi chairs. Directly above the four old men, there was a gilt dragon chair. There were also
There is an old man sitting.
The old man wore a white gown, with a red hairband tied in front of his forehead, and two streamers hanging on the left side. He was thin and lanky, and looked like an immortal. Needless to say, this man was Hong Shisan, the current Hongmen boss.
People in the world call him "Thirteenth Master"!
Yan Xiong and Hong Kun looked at each other and followed A Wu towards the old man.
"Boss, Chaozhou Gang Hong Kun, together with his friends Yan Xiong and Axe Jun, have come to pay homage to you!" A Wu said with clasped fists towards Hong Shisan.
Hong Shisan looked at Yan Xiong and others.
The four old men sitting with them also looked at them.
Hong Kun first clasped his fists and said to Hong Shisan: "Master Shisan, long time no see, how are you doing?"
When Hong Kun first came to the UK in order to establish the Chaozhou Gang, he came to Hongmen to pay a visit to the dock, and they met briefly at that time. Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the Chaozhou Gang, as a small gang, had no shame to have relations with Hongmen anymore, so the relationship between the two parties was unfamiliar.
many.
Hong Shisan didn't put on any airs, he laughed and stood up and said: "It turns out it's really A Kun! I'm very impressed by you. I remember that you and I have the same surname. Everyone's surname is Hong. It's been ten or twenty years in the blink of an eye, and you've grown old."
There are so many gray hairs!”
"Thirteenth Master, you are getting stronger and stronger as you age. The longer you live, the younger you become!"
"Hahaha!" Hong Shisan burst into laughter, clasped his fists again and said to the four people sitting with him: "Four guardians, this is the Chaozhou gang Akun I often mentioned to you, a very clever person!"
The four people nodded towards Hong Kun, their postures were reserved.
Hong Kun took the opportunity to introduce Yan Xiong to Hong Shisan and others: "Thirteenth Master, four guardians, this is Inspector Yan Xiong from Hong Kong. He has something important to ask Hongmen for help tonight -"
Yan Xiong stepped forward without being humble or arrogant. He first clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, and then said in a loud voice: "Yan is not talented. He used to be a detective in Hong Kong. Now he has resigned. In the UK, he is just running errands for others."
…”
Hong Shisan and others were stunned for a moment, but their interest was immediately aroused by Yan Xiong's words.
Even though they are far away in the UK, they know what the position of a Hong Kong detective is, especially the "Four Detectives" in Hong Kong. Their stories have even been spread in the UK. Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, Lan Gang and Han Sen are in charge.
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories are not even looked down upon by those ghost bosses.
The British Hongmen once sent people to do many things in Hong Kong. They were also helped by four detectives at that time, and Yan Xiong was one of them.
"Inspector Yan, right? I've heard of you..." Hong Shisan said slowly, "Back then, we in Hongmen encountered difficulties and needed to smuggle a large number of cars from the UK. It was you who helped dredge the Wan Chai waterway. We are grateful for this kindness.
The door will always be in my heart!”
"Yes, I also remember this time. It was in 1965. Our Hongmen was suppressed by the British government. All kinds of funds were frozen by Guilao Bank. Many legitimate businesses were also subject to their economic sanctions! Those days were very hard, but
Only by opening up the external market can we find a way to survive!"
"When you said that, I also remembered that the smuggling operation in Wan Chai was a big deal, with thousands of luxury cars, and it brought our Hongmen over from the brink of crisis in one go!"
"I didn't expect that my benefactor from back then is right in front of me. We from Hongmen would like to express our gratitude to you!"
The four great protectors of Hongmen all clasped their fists at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong was flattered and hurriedly clasped his fists in return: "Seriously, Mr. Yan just did some things within his scope at that time! It is Mr. Yan's blessing that he can do his best for Hongmen!"
Yan Xiong's behavior won the favor of everyone in Hong Shisan.
Although Detective Hua is nothing in the eyes of Hongmen bigwigs like them, he is a real local snake in Hong Kong. The local emperor, Yan Xiong deserves praise for being so humble.
Yan Xiong wiped away a cold sweat.
To be honest, he didn't want to take the initiative to help back then. Counting money and luxury cars involved so much money that if something went wrong, his life might be in danger.
But those Hongmen people threatened him, killed his whole family, fucked his wife, and by the way, his mother! As a filial son, Yan Xiong had to give in.
"Okay, Inspector Yan, let me tell you, we are all outsiders. I have read your greetings, but I don't know what the hell you are here for?" Hong Shisan invited Yan Xiong and others to sit down and asked people to sit down.
After preparing some tea, he asked.
Yan Xiong thought about his words, clasped his fists and said, "Actually, the purpose of my coming to Guibao is very simple, just two words - to borrow troops!"
"Uh, borrowing troops?"
Yan Xiong's words made the atmosphere in the hall tense.
…
What Jianghu people call "borrowing troops" is not a trivial matter, on the contrary, it is a huge matter.
Often when one society asks to lend troops to another gang, it means that a bloody battle is imminent and blood will flow somewhere soon.
In addition, borrowing troops is a huge favor, and you must be able to repay this favor in the future.
When Yan Xiong came here, he wanted to "borrow troops" with just one sentence. How could he not surprise everyone in Hongmen?
Yan Xiong is also a heroic figure. At this moment, he has a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone in Hongmen, and said in a hurry: "I know, it is a bit presumptuous to make such a request as soon as we meet, but the situation is stronger than others, and everyone in the Chaozhou Gang and I are also forced
have no choice!"
After a pause and a sip of tea, he continued: "The thing is, the Chaozhou Gang and I share the same hatred, and now we have some conflicts with the Razor Party in the East End of London. And this conflict is absolutely difficult to reconcile. The only way is to settle it once and for all!"
"Could it be that--" one of the four guardians said in shock, "you want to destroy the Razor Party?"
Others were also surprised, looking at Yan Xiong and others in disbelief.
This time Hong Kun said: "Yes, we are preparing to attack the Razor Party! The Chaozhou Gang has been hiding in Chinatown for more than ten years and has done enough. This time we are going to fight regardless of life or death!"
"But we know that our strength is too weak compared to the Razor Party, so we thought of borrowing troops from Hongmen! We are all in the same spirit, and we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. If we can eradicate the hungry tiger of the Razor Party in one fell swoop this time, then in the future, London
The East District is our Chaozhou Gang and the Hongmen world!"
Yan Xiong said: "I can testify to this! Although Mr. Yan speaks softly, he still has some faith!"
"It's not that we don't believe you, Detective Yan, it's mainly because the matter is of great importance. You just said that you are no longer the detective. What's more, this is London, England, not Hong Kong, China. Your credibility score, haha - no
Just say it!"
"Yes, this is a desperate matter, and there will be blood! Maybe there will be a big earthquake in the entire East End of London! What's more, the Razor Party has been rooted in the East End for a long time, and its members are everywhere. It is not so easy to eradicate!"
Yan Xiong smiled when he heard this and said: "Apart from this, are you still worried about the big backer behind the Razor Party - the Apostles?"
Yan Xiong hit the nail on the head and pointed out the biggest concern behind everyone in Hongmen.
You must know that the "Apostolic Society" has great influence in the UK. Not only local gangs like the Razor Party respect it, but even foreign groups like the Hongmen have to compromise.
In fact, the relationship between Hongmen and the Apostles at this time was very delicate. On the surface, they still respected the opinions of the Apostles and got along well with them, but secretly they did not buy it and even used other forces to fight against some of the orders of the Apostles.
Like most people in Hongmen, Hong Shisan was very contemptuous of this so-called mysterious organization of the British Empire that always felt superior to others. He felt that these foreign devils came up with this thing just because they were full.
The guy with the hat is always aloof and arrogant, thinking that he can dominate the world and have everything under control. But Hong Shisan believes that the world is impermanent and not everything can be completely controlled by human beings.
, many mysteries of the universe are still unknown, so wouldn’t it be a big joke to talk about being the master of the world and the most influential “organization”?
However, the power of the Apostolic Society cannot be underestimated. Even many politicians and leaders in the British Empire arranged for their family members or successors to join the Apostolic Society. One can only imagine how influential this organization is.
"Indeed, our Hongmen are very concerned about this." Hong Shisan did not avoid the topic, "If you can't destroy the Razor Party this time, then it will be embarrassing for our Hongmen to lend you troops. By then the Apostles will
When it comes to accountability, it will be difficult for us to handle it!”
Yan Xiong laughed: "That means you are afraid that we will lose, so you don't dare to lend us troops?"
"good!"
"But what if we win this time?"
Hong Shisan and others looked at each other and felt that Yan Xiong was telling lies.
"Inspector Yan, this is not Hong Kong. It's okay to talk big, but you have to be responsible!"
"I'm not talking big words, I'm telling the truth!" Yan Xiong vowed, "If the Chaozhou Gang alone can't destroy the Razor Party this time, it will be different if the police help!"
"What do you mean, are those ghost police officers going to help you?" Hong Shisan and others were stunned.
Yan Xiong did not answer, with his hands behind his back and an incomprehensible look on his face.
Hong Kun clasped his fists at the side: "Say one more thing, I believe what Inspector Yan says!"
Hong Shisan smiled: "You are in this together. To put it bluntly, we are a group of people. What's wrong with you believing him?"
Hong Kun smiled: "I haven't finished speaking. What I believe is not Inspector Yan Xiongyan himself, but the person behind him!"
Hong Shisan and others looked at each other again, "What do you mean by this?"
"But I wonder if any of you have heard of the name 'Shi Zhijian'?"
"Uh, it seems familiar."
"I remember, isn't he the Hong Kong tycoon, who was hailed as a young hero!"
"What young hero? Do you think he is Fang Shiyu? He has a very bad reputation in Hong Kong. He is called a traitor, a traitor, a traitor - it is not a good thing at first glance!"
"I'm sorry," Yan Xiong looked at the protector and said, "That bad thing in your mouth happens to be my boss!"
"Uh, I'm sorry! I was offended by my words!" The guardian was also a bachelor. When he heard that Yan Xiong was Shi Zhijian's follower, he immediately clasped his fists and apologized.
Jianghu people are very particular about hitting people in the face and not hitting the dog in the face. On the other hand, speaking ill of the master in front of the followers is also very rude.
"It's okay, I accept your apology!"
"Thank you!"
"polite!"
After Yan Xiong said this, he glanced at everyone, and finally looked level with the Hongmen boss Hong Shisan and said: "Master Thirteen, Mr. Shi is a god-like figure in my mind! Not only cannot I offend, but I cannot offend him! Anyone who offends him
All the people have gone to hell! Hong Kong Dai Fengnian, Li Zhaotian, Macau Fu Jia, as well as President Lawrence of the British Empire General Chamber of Commerce, Razor Party Tommy Shelby, next it will be his eldest brother's turn
Kane Shelby!”
Every name Yan Xiong said was shocking. After all, the Hongmen people paid close attention to the external situation and were very familiar with the situation in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, those crazy and awesome people were defeated by Shi Zhijian. Lawrence, the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, was arrested. They also knew it.
I just didn't expect that Shi Zhijian was behind it.
At this moment, everyone, including Hong Shisan, was full of curiosity about this young man Shi Zhijian, and felt a little bit afraid.
