Chapter 349

Throwing the bloody pipe back into the pool of blood, Zheng Jirong took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands while asking: "Apart from Brother Chen and the second boss, who else is in the decision-making level of the Ax Gang?"

"Gone!"

The master who came back to his senses quickly ran over. He glanced at Chen Chen, who had been beaten beyond recognition, and flattered Zheng Jirong: "Now as long as you gather the gang members in various territories, Brother Rong, you will be a veritable ax gang." Gang leader!"

"Um"

Zheng Jirong scanned the hall, walked to a sofa and sat down. Just when he took out the cigar and was about to light it, the master had already stretched out the lighter in his hand.

call.

After slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Zheng Jirong looked up at the nightclub and said, "Is this also the property of your Ax Gang?"

"Yes," the master nodded and said, "In the whole of Zhabei, including Hongkou in the east, our [Sanchiantian] is the largest and most popular. Not only are the girls high-quality, but there are even Belarusian women!"

"Yeah?"

Zheng Jirong turned around and looked around, and asked casually: "Then why can't you see anyone?"

Hearing this, the master smiled and explained: "It's only noon now, and the ladies are all sleeping in the back. If Brother Rong wants to play, I'll go and ask them all to come out now."

"Forget it, let's wait until night."

Then, Zheng Jirong asked some of the Ax Gang's methods of making money. The result was not as he expected. Under the leadership of Chen Chen, the Ax Gang today can be said to do all kinds of evil.

The first is to open underground casinos, extract profits and at the same time provide usury loans with extremely high interest rates to those customers who gamble.

The second is smuggling cigarettes and even arms. I have to say that Chen Chen is indeed very courageous. After taking advantage of the Japanese, this guy bought cigarettes and guns from them at high prices, and then resold them at higher prices. Over the years, He accumulated a lot of wealth by making poor money.

The third one is to issue false recruitment notices and traffic people to build railways abroad. According to the master, he has sold more than a dozen batches of young laborers and made a lot of money.

Of course, as a high-end gang, they have done a lot of collecting protection fees and kidnapping and extorting.

“What the hell,” Zheng Jirong scolded, “Now the Ax Gang’s reputation is bad on the streets?”

"Well, that's all in the past. Now with your leadership, Brother Rong, our Ax Gang will definitely regain the reputation and reputation it had when Gang Leader Wang was in power."

After saying that, he hesitated for a while and asked again: "Brother Rong, since you are the gang leader now, do you still want to go to the Japanese Concession to pay homage to the dock?"

"Bless me!"

Zheng Jirong said solemnly: "As long as I don't cause trouble for them, how can I have time to visit their dock?"

"But now these big gangs in Shanghai are either backed by government officials or have foreigners as backers. If we don't bow to anyone's dock, we will be eaten by other gangs sooner or later."

After hearing what he said, Zheng Jirong waved his hand indifferently, "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way."

"What you have to do now is to gather all the members of the gang and tell them about the change of gang leader. If there is anyone who is not happy, just tell them to get out."

"clear!"

After the master nodded in agreement, he raised his eyes and asked carefully: "If there is someone who doesn't know how to lift?"

"Haha", Zheng Jirong smiled, pointed at Peng Yixing and said, "A Xing will go with you, I think no matter how hard their bones are, they will never be harder than bullets."

The master thought of Peng Yixing's miraculous marksmanship when he appeared on the scene just now, and immediately patted his chest with confidence and promised: "Don't worry, brother Rong, I promise to bring back at least half of the members for you."

half? Isn’t that just over a thousand people?

It seems that we still need to recruit new talents in the next two days.

Zheng Jirong flicked the ash from his cigarette, then looked at the two suitcases on the table and asked, "What's in here?"

After hearing this, the master picked up a suitcase and weighed it twice. After unlocking the lock, he saw a box full of banknotes. When he saw that it contained money, he also understood and explained to Zheng Jirong:

"Brother Rong, the people from the security headquarters asked us to send this money yesterday. It's a full 100,000 silver dollars, as our Ax Gang's apology to the Bai family."

When Zheng Jirong heard that it was the Bai family, he immediately thought of Bai Xiuzhu telling him at the previous cocktail party that he had contacted his uncle in the military department and he would help him solve the Ax Gang matter.

Looking at the bulging banknotes that filled the entire suitcase, Zheng Jirong tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and asked, "Who is here?"

"It seemed to be an adjutant," the master recalled: "After that guy led a large group of Qiu Ba into the nightclub, he picked up Brother Chen's neck and slapped him on the head several times. He said that the Ax Gang had offended their Commander Bai's niece and wanted to If I survive, I will raise 100,000 silver dollars in military expenses and send them over to apologize."

"Wait a minute," Zheng Jirong immediately raised his head after hearing the keyword and asked, "Did you just say Commander Bai?"

"Yes," the master replied, "Bai Chongxi, the top officer of the Songhu Security Command, damn, I didn't expect this girl's background to be so tough!"

Zheng Jirong took a deep breath from the cigar in his hand when he heard this. Bai Xiuzhu's uncle turned out to be the highest military officer of the government in Shanghai.

"Brother Rong, do we still need to continue sending this money?"

The master looked at the silent Zheng Jirong, pointed at the suitcase and said, "Brother Rong, aren't you Bai Xiuzhu's savior? Now that you are in charge of the Ax Gang, Bai Chongxi has no reason to ask us for money anymore, right?" "

"deliver!"

Zheng Jirong stood up from the sofa and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Of course I have to give it away! And it can't be delivered by you."

"Then who will send it?"

"I'll take Bai Xiuzhu and deliver it in person!"

French Concession, Haig Road.

In a garden house, Bai Xiuzhu hung up the phone angrily and told the servants on the side: "If you receive a call from my brother in the future, don't call me, just hang up!"

"this"

Several servants couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. They were just servants of the family, so how could they have the courage to hang up the phone?

Seeing that they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word, Bai Xiuzhu sighed and waved her hands: "Okay, you all can go down."

When she was the only one left in the living room, Bai Xiuzhu angrily hammered the armrest of the sofa next to her twice. Just now, her brother, who was the deputy prime minister in Peking, called again to urge her to go back.

It is normal for a brother to urge his sister to go home, but Bai Xiuzhu knows why her brother is urging her to go back so hurriedly. It is just to let her strengthen her relationship with Jin Yanxi, the son of the Prime Minister's family. If she can successfully marry into the Prime Minister's family, Then her brother's official career will be smoother.

In fact, Bai Xiuzhu liked Jin Yanxi very much in the past. After all, the two had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their elders had been trying to match them up, so Bai Xiuzhu didn't dislike being with him in her heart.

But just a few months ago, she suddenly discovered that Jin Yanxi was openly pursuing a female student in front of her. How could she bear it? Disappointed and angry, she came to her hometown in the south directly on the grounds of visiting relatives. .

Originally, her idea was to leave Jin Yanxi alone for a few days and wait for her brother to urge her before going back, but now Bai Xiuzhu has no idea of ​​going back at all.

She carefully took out a piece of paper from her pocket. It was the same love poem Zheng Jirong had written to her at the previous reception.

Looking at the overflowing affection between the lines, Bai Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel confused. On one side was her childhood sweetheart, the Prime Minister's son, and on the other side was her talented and ambitious savior.

Thinking of this, she stamped her feet a little irritably. When she glanced at the cigarette box that her uncle had left when he was a guest, she suddenly took out a cigarette from it, put it to her lips and lit it.

But just as he lit his cigarette, a familiar voice came from outside the living room.

"Do you still smoke?"

She quickly turned her head to look. After seeing the person clearly, Bai Xiuzhu said in surprise: "How did you get in?"

Zheng Jirong pointed to the outside of the gate, "The wall in your house is only a little over two meters high. You can't get in without turning over."

"Did you climb over the wall to get in?"

Bai Xiuzhu immediately said with a smile: "Get out quickly, or I will call the police and arrest you for breaking into a private house."

"The phone is right with you. If you want to call the police, just call the police. I won't stop you."

Hearing his words, Bai Xiuzhu snorted angrily. Although she ignored Zheng Jirong, she did not call the police as she said.

Zheng Jirong smiled when he saw this, walked to the opposite side of her, sat directly on the wooden coffee table, looked at Bai Xiuzhu and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, do you know how to smoke?"

"Yes! What's wrong?" Bai Xiuzhu asked back, "Do you want one too?"

"Okay." Zheng Jirong raised his hand and took off the cigarette she lit. He held it in the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath. He said with a smile: "The taste is a bit choking, not suitable for you girls to smoke. Thank you very much."

"You are shameless!"

Bai Xiuzhu's pretty face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed.

There was still her saliva on the cigarette holder, and it was actually held in Zheng Jirong's mouth. Isn't this a kiss in disguise?

Zheng Jirong smiled as usual and said, "I don't really like women who smoke."

"Who wants you to like it!" Bai Xiuzhu said angrily, but she didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't take out her cigarette again.

Zheng Jirong then looked at a piece of letter paper on the table, picked it up and read it before saying meaningfully: "Eh? Isn't this the love poem I wrote to Miss Bai before? Could it be that Miss Bai has been here just now? Read this poem?”

"You don't have to worry about it." Bai Xiuzhu took the letter away from his hand with flushed cheeks.

Seeing this, Zheng Jirong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "This poem was written in a bit of haste. If I have a chance next time, I will write another love poem with more profound meaning and give it to you, Miss Bai."

After hearing his words, for some reason, Bai Xiuzhu was secretly looking forward to what kind of love poem Zheng Jirong would write to her, but she still pretended to be reserved on the surface and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Zheng Jirong stopped teasing her and said directly: "Do you still remember the Ax Gang that offended you that day?"

"Remember," Bai Xiuzhu said, "my uncle said he had solved it for me, so I didn't have to worry anymore."

Zheng Jirong nodded and continued: "Although your uncle has a high and powerful position, he did not directly destroy the gang. Instead, he sent someone to teach their gang leader a lesson, and then asked him to pay 100,000 yuan to apologize."

"Isn't that nice?"

Bai Xiuzhu replied: "No one of us was injured. It's just that the hotel was smashed and needs to be renovated. It's okay to pay for it."

"Confused!"

Zheng Jirong frowned and said: "These gangs do all kinds of evil, and they will be punished. If you don't beat them up this time, these guys will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you later."

"Then shall I tell my uncle again?"

"No need," Zheng Jirong waved his hand and said, "Just an hour ago, I went to the headquarters of their Ax Gang and got rid of their gang leader. No one will have the guts to retaliate against you in the future."

"Oh ah!"

Bai Xiuzhu stood up in shock and said, "You went to kill their gang leader alone for me?"

".Roughly the same."

"Then you're not hurt, are you?"

Bai Xiuzhu looked at Zheng Jirong carefully. When she saw that there was no blood from the wound, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said anxiously: "Even if you like me, you can't take such risks. If something happens to you, you want to make me feel guilty." For a lifetime?”

Seeing that this girl managed to figure things out so quickly, Zheng Jirong smiled and said calmly: "They are just a bunch of high-level gangs that oppress good people. Killing them will be considered as justice for God. Besides, I also have a little selfishness in it." .”

Hearing his words, Bai Xiuzhu's pretty face blushed slightly and said, "You don't need to say anything anymore, I know everything."

"."

Zheng Jirong fell silent. He coughed lightly and did not explain much. Instead, he changed his words and said, "Speaking of which, the Ax Gang was also known for its chivalry back then. But I didn't expect that after the death of Hero Wang, it had fallen to this level."

"I've heard Wang Yaqiao's name in Peiping," Bai Xiuzhu nodded: "Although the details are compromised, the righteousness is not compromised, and he is indeed worthy of the name of a hero."

"Xiuzhu."

Zheng Jirong suddenly looked at her and said, "I am now the leader of the Ax Gang."

Bai Xiuzhu was stunned when she heard this. After reacting, she immediately raised her hand and punched Zheng Jirong's arm twice. She glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you crazy? Why did you join the Hi Gang?"

"I didn't join?"

Zheng Jirong spread his hands and said: "I directly became the boss of the Hi Gang. I didn't want to, but when those guys saw that their boss was dead, not only did they not think about revenge, but they even bowed to me. It's almost No more yellow robes for me."

"Then you can't be a member of the Hi-Gang," Bai Xiuzhu said urgently, "My brother is the deputy prime minister. It's okay if you don't go into politics. How can you be the boss of the Hi-Gang?"

Hearing this girl's words, Zheng Jirong immediately understood what she was thinking. He smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I am only the boss of the gang for a temporary period, and it will only last for a few months at most."

"I don't care how long you stay!"

Bai Xiuzhu sat on the sofa angrily and turned her head to the other side without even looking at the man opposite.

Seeing her sulky look, Zheng Jirong raised his head and sat next to her, then approached her and said, "Xiuzhu, do you remember what I said before? The reason why I came back from abroad is to save the country and the people."

"You're talking nonsense," Bai Xiuzhu said without turning around. "If you really wanted to save the country and the people, you wouldn't become the boss of a gang."

"Hey, there is no conflict between saving the country and the people and the Hi Gang. Didn't you praise Wang Yaqiao as a hero before?"

Bai Xiuzhu turned to look at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Jirong looked at her and said, "How about introducing me to your uncle?"

"Uncle? He is very busy at work. It is difficult for me to see him even once."

"Don't worry, you just need to tell him that someone is willing to help him raise military expenses."
