As soon as Lao Sha went out, there were only three people in the private room, including Wang Xiaoxu, Yu Ziyi and Li Zhengwu. Wang Xiaoxu said: "Zhengwu, are you familiar with this gang in Shanghai?"

Li Zhengwu didn't expect him to ask such a big question, but it was related to his help, so he said, "There are many gangs in Shanghai, I am familiar with them, but some places may not be eaten."

Seeing that he was not bragging, Wang Xiaoxu felt more and more that he had found the right person. People in this gang were the best in face and would not give up if they didn't blow themselves to heaven and earth.

Li Zhengwu didn't know what Wang Xiaoxu thought, but said: "The so-called Hongmen is a large area, the Qing Gang is a line. The Qing Gang was a dock gang on the front line of the canal transportation. However, when Hongyang was in the time of Hong and Yang, the canal transportation began to be broken. Up to now, the 123 Gangs have only six gangs. The remaining six gangs each have their own territory. Among them, Xingwu Liu occupied the public concession, Xingwu Si occupied the French concession, and last year Zeng Guozhang's remaining party Liu Fubiao and others occupied the Chinese border in Zhabei. In addition, Fan Gaotou stayed in the county town in Shanghai in the early years, and Mapi Jinrong and others competed with Xingwu Si in the French concession with the help of legal persons. This is the relationship between several major sects in Shanghai. However, now the Qing and Hong merger, and their relationships are often difficult to clarify."

When Wang Xiaoxu heard him say this gang in Shanghai for the first time, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Which group is your Huzhou gang?"

Seeing Wang Xiaoxu ask this question, Li Zhengwu smiled bitterly, "Xingwu Si and Xingwu Six belong to the Nine Gangs of Songjiang. As for my Huzhou Gang, it should be considered as the 3rd Huzhou Gang of the 21st Gangs of Zhejiang. However, the canal transportation was cut off and the dock in the Gangzhong was gone. If it weren't for my brothers and I, I would have disbanded long ago. Now many people from the Li generation in the Gangzhong generation have had a good relationship with Xingwu Si people, and they will probably become Xingwu Si in the future." Speaking of this, he was afraid that Wang Xiaoxu was worried, and said, "I went on a boat in my early years because the factory went to Huzhou to transport silk. So I joined the gang. Now, if I counted as a character, I am considered old. Although Shanghai is not my dock, the old men from each gang will still give some face."

Wang Xiaoxu heard what he meant and said with relief: "Zheng Wu, it's not really a big deal to ask you for help. In the past, when he was at the China Education Association, there were a few friends who were familiar with him who were imprisoned for insulting the court. After many efforts, they finally did not allow the court to extradite him. In the end, the two were sentenced to two or three years. However, the Qing Dynasty was extremely despicable. When Brother Wei Dan was released from prison for dozens of days, he was poisoned to death by them by bribing foreign doctors."

"What the sir said is Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong two righteous men?" Li Zhengwu was wandering on the water, and he didn't know much about Shanghai.

"It's them, Zou Rong is about to be released from prison. But now... I have asked one of the four young masters Wu Bao to sue the first generation, but the case involves foreigners and Shanghai Taoist platforms. So I was almost arrested and out of bounds last night. Now, I don't know what secret tricks the person behind the scenes will use, so I want to ask you to ask someone to help you. If you don't do anything else, just protect everyone safely." When Wang Xiaoxu asked Li Zhengwu for help, he did not tell him the details, but he just said that he was a friend. If Li Zhengwu was just a member of the gang, then many things could be said, but he was not a simple member of the gang. The Li family in Zhenhai became famous in Shanghai with the Fang family in Zhenhai. Faced with such a complex background, he would still not say a lot of things.

After Wang Xiaoxu said that, Li Zhengwu began to ponder. Shanghai is not his territory. He finally relied on Wang Xiaoxu's trust to have a dock in Shanghai - the coal-tun terminal of Changxing Coal Mine. After unloading the coal, the empty ship could bring some cargo back, and the profits of the gang increased greatly. Therefore, he found some face in Shanghai. Even so, more than ten people came to Shanghai to protect him, fearing that Zeng Guozhang's remaining party would come to cause trouble. To be honest, Wang Xiaoxu's matter was still difficult.

Very. The reason why there are so many gangs in Shanghai is that the foreigners and the Qing Dynasty are in charge of their own affairs and do not contact each other, which makes gangs have loopholes to take advantage of. Many kidnapped in the concession usually live in China, while those who commit crimes in China live in the concession. As long as they do not offend both sides, they also respect the police or constables in the residence and do not offend people who cannot offend them, it is very safe. But now, Wang Xiaoxu has offended both sides, and the two sides are afraid that they will join forces...

Li Zhengwu thought for a long time before saying, "Sir, if you want to protect everyone's safety, it is better to go to the French Concession to avoid it."

"French Concession?" Wang Xiaoxu was a little confused.

"Yes. The French Concession is only safer. At least the French Concession has nothing to do with this matter. If it is in the public concession, then the police station and the Shanghai Taoist Platform collude with each other, it is afraid it will be difficult to protect it."

Li Zhengwu's meaning Wang Xiaoxu understood that the solution was a solution, but the headquarters of the Revival Society was in the public concession, but if he didn't go, what if the police station really tear apart and wanted to arrest someone? Wang Xiaoxu repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally said, "Others can go to the French concession, but I'd better stay. There are too many things here, and I can't leave."

"Sir..." Li Zhengwu didn't understand what Wang Xiaoxu said too much, and still thought he didn't want to leave home. However, at this time, Wang Xiaoxu said again, "Zhengwu, just say, what should I do if I stay in the public concession?"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoxu had made up his mind, Li Zhengwu was not good at persuading him, so he said, "If you want to stay in the public concession, then if you want to be the safest, you should still give in to the old man Zhang Zhenxian here." Then he was afraid that Wang Xiaoxu would be confused, so he said again: "This Zhang Zhenxian is the boss of Xingwu Liu, whose courtesy name is Shanting, is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The congregation of Xingwu Liuyi Group in Shanghai obeys him."

Wang Xiaoxu knew that what he was talking about was actually the Wharf. He thought that the Revival will still need protection for nearly three years. He sighed very much, but he knew that all the combat power was focused on the Northeast. If Zhong Mei and Wang Jinfa and others came back, it would probably be better. "Zheng Wu, there is nothing wrong with this or not. As long as I can finish the lawsuit smoothly and seek justice for the dead Wei Dan, I will be satisfied."

Wang Xiaoxu said very loyally, which made Li Zhengwu admire him a little more. He said immediately, "Sir, no scruples, loyalty is the first, and he is the role model for our gang members. Zhengwu will visit Zhang Zhenxian at a time. We will see him tomorrow, the latest and next day."

The matter was discussed so much. Wang Xiaoxu came out of the opium restaurant and walked around and turned back to Wan'anli. He now felt more and more that he had spent a lot of money to set up so many hidden benefits. Especially now, the teahouse is in the Revival Club. No one could have thought that after entering the teahouse, he would go from the side door to the third floor of the next quilt shop, and then cross a few shops to the top floor of a north-south grocery store.

It was too far away. Wang Xiaoxu started drafting a telegram after a break. Last night's arrest made him discover that the Zou Rong case now seems to be out of control and is developing more and more uncontrollable. He is unable to judge the position of the Ministry of Industry. If the Ministry of Industry is really determined to resolve the case, he believes that his side cannot compete with the Ministry of Industry. Even if the Ministry of Industry does not express his opinion, he just acquiesced to the police station below to act and allow the Qing Dynasty to enter the border to arrest people. That would be a great destruction to the revival. How can we resist their collusion?

Wang Xiaoxu wrote all these things on the telegram, and then sent them to the Northeast through the Shanghai General Station. Soon, before dark, he received a reply from Yang Rui: Yang Rui said in the telegram that the collusion between the Qing Dynasty and the Ministry of Industry and Technology was a new situation, and it was not expected that it was normal. However, now they have arrested our people, so they must return to the color. The part of the Fuxing Army guerrillas who have returned is to come back to consolidate the situation in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which the military academy student Zhong

Mei and others will be responsible for Shanghai, while Zhu Shaokang and Wang Jinfa are responsible for Shaoxing, Jinhua and other places. Of course, the sign of the Revival Society is too eye-catching now. Once it is revealed, the Qing Dynasty will try its best to suppress it. Therefore, according to the current situation, if appropriate, let Zhong Mei join the Qing Gang and recognize a big boss as an old man. If there is anything in the future, you can also use the sign of the gang. If it is not suitable, you can form another new gang and develop a group of members among the lower-level personnel in Shanghai. Then create a situation.

Yang Rui's idea of ​​revolutionary development within the Guanguan was always improving. The earlier education meeting only had some, but there was no specific plan for the development in large quantities. In fact, in China today, it was like a foothold in the Northeast that could not avoid the beard. There was no way to avoid the development of the Communist Party within the Guanguan, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, rivers were densely populated, good at concealing, and the shipping of canals was developed. Ge Laohui, Anqinghui, and Tiandihui. Although Tao Chengzhang had conducted an investigation before, he was mainly concentrated in the western Zhejiang area and was not very targeted. Therefore, if you want to carry out work within the Guanguan, you must go deep into the gang, understand the gang, and find a way to use the gang to open up the situation. The difficulty of this matter is much more difficult than outside the Guanguan. After all, in the Northeast, you can rely on guns to suppress all resistance in the war, and within the Guanguan, more than one company of regular armed forces would cause the encirclement and suppression of the Qing Dynasty. The power it can be used is extremely limited, which requires even more meticulous skill.

Wang Xiaoxu read Yang Rui's telegram several times, then rang the bell, and Yu Ziyi came in for a while. He said, "Quobing, I came to the northeast before, and it said when did Zhong Mei and others set off?"

When he saw Wang Xiaoxu asking Zhong Mei, Yu Ziyi immediately said, "They were ships of No. 26 last month. If they were normal, they would arrive in Shanghai tomorrow." After receiving news from Zhong Mei and a few of them coming back, Yu Ziyi was extremely excited. He didn't see a classmate when he went to Anton before, but this time several classmates came back. Zhong Mei, Mu Xiangyao, Fei Yugui, Zhong Guangao and others were all familiar with him, so he remembered the date of their return clearly.

Seeing the smile on Yu Ziyi's face, Wang Xiaoxu said: "Why, I haven't seen you for many years, I miss my classmates and friends so much."

"Yes, sir. Bu Cen and I have been missing for three years for 60 days. I really don't know what they have become. By the way, sir, don't go to the dock tomorrow, I'll just take them back." Yu Ziyi thought that the current situation was not optimistic, so he rested a lot of joy.

"Okay. Let me leave this matter to you. Be sure to pay attention to safety!" Wang Xiaoxu explained.

"Along with Li Zhengwu..." Wang Xiaoxu thought of something, and then said, "Forget it, I'll think about it again." Yang Rui said in the telegram that if it is appropriate, Zhong Mei and others can join the Qing Gang, but he still needs to listen to Zhong Mei's own opinions and also learn more about the situation of the Shanghai Gang. "Call Xiao Hu later, I have something to ask him." He ordered.

After more than an hour, Wang Xiaoxu met Xiao Hu, or he could stop calling him Xiao Hu. He had already found an editor to give him a good name, called Hu Wenyao, but Hu Wenyao was not as good as Wenyao - he was working hard, but when he talked about tutoring, he would collapse on the ground. Every time he thought of Xiao Hu's big head reading, Wang Xiaoxu wanted to laugh, but as a gentleman, it was not good to laugh too much. So he endured it very hard.

"Sir. I have been searching for a day but I still haven't found anyone. I have asked all the people I know in the county town, but they all said I didn't see them." Compared to Wang Xiaoxu's slap, Hu Wenyao looked nervous. He knew both of them who disappeared yesterday, and they were both shortly after joining the association.

"There is no way to find it, so I can only look for it slowly. It is useless to be anxious. Has Kuang Dayong been to his house?" Wang Xiaoxu sighed.

"Well. I've been there. His wife has been panicked and has been crying all day long."

"Hey!" Wang Xiaoxu sighed long. The room was quiet for a while. Wang Xiaoxu continued, "I'm looking for you today. There are other things to do. You have been in Shanghai for three years, and the gangs everywhere are already very familiar with them."

Xiao Hu nodded and said, "Everyone is familiar with it. But everyone knows the people below."

"It's okay. I know what Xingwu Liu, Xingwu Si, Fan Gaotou, Liu Fubiao, and Mapi Jinrong do?" Wang Xiaoxu said.

"Mapi Jinrong is Huang Jinrong. His wife, Sister Gui, is a famous manure king in the French Concession, and he himself works as a police officer in the concession. He heard that he recognized foreign affairs, called Cao, and that common affairs often helped him speak good things in foreigners, so his official position has been promoted. However, he only has some small sluts around him, and he can only blackmail some bosses without background shops. Then he smuggled some foreign medicine under the banner of foreigners, and he can't get on the table. Liu Fubiao had never heard of it, but Fan Gaotou knew that he said he was beaten to death by the anti-smuggling camp of the government last year. Now the person in charge is his little apprentice, named Qi Debao, who is the overlord of Shanghai County. Smuggling opium and kidnapping wealthy businessmen are their specialties."

Xiao Hu stopped when he said this. He asked, "Sir, Xingwu Liu, Xingwu Si is familiar with him. I heard that people say, aren't they all the Qing Gang?"

"It's the Qing Gang, but the Qing Gang also has many gangs." Wang Xiaoxu knew that it was impossible to know the top-level affairs of the gang with Xiao Hu's social aspects, so he asked again: "Don't worry about the Xingwu period first, what does the Qing Gang usually do?"

Xiao Hu didn't know about the upper class. But the lower class understood the practice, and he said: "These people seem to do everything, smuggling foreign medicine, extorting merchants, kidnapping merchants, and... and so on, moving stones and picking mulberry leaves."

Wang Xiaoxu had heard of the front, but he didn't know it later. He asked again: "What are you doing when moving stones and picking mulberry leaves?"

"That's right, it's just selling the road." Xiao Hu said, "The man is called moving stones, and the woman is called picking mulberry leaves."

"Then who did they sell this person to?" Wang Xiaoxu suddenly became a little worried about the child laborers of Tianzi. Although they recruited some children aged 8 or 9 and had taken the exam to enter the factory, it was hard to say whether there were any children who were trafficked by Qingbang.

"The man heard that he either sold it to a temple to be a novice monk or to a Nanyang, Guangdong to be an apprentice. If the woman was a beautiful woman, she would sell it to some brothels, or she would use it as a maid for the rich, and those ugly ones would be sold to poor families as wives." Xiao Hu often hangs everywhere and knows a lot of details. He suddenly thought of another thing, "Sir, they can sell it too."

"Adults sell it too, how do you buy it?" Wang Xiaoxu became less and less willing to combine it with the Qingbang. He could accept selling opium. After all, there were too many people smoking this thing, but it was difficult for him to accept robbery, murder and children. He did not want to call his brothers and brothers with those traffickers.

"They recruited some adults from the countryside, and then asked them to join the gang. When they joined the gang, they would be assigned to the factory to work as workers. The Qing gang members were foremen and masters. Then these adults who worked in the countryside should respect these masters during the holidays." Xiao Hu had seen the workers in the silk reeling factory and the flower factory. They had to work for sixteen to seventeen hours a day, and they took less than half-working and half-study child laborers in the land factory, let alone food, anyway, they were miserable.

Wang Xiaoxu also knew that the contract workers in the foreign factory had a miserable life, but he did not expect that there was a Qingbang to join the group. He asked, "Is this the case for the factories? Or are they just some factories?"

"Except for our Tianzi, the factories in Shanghai are all like this." Xiao Hu said, and suddenly he said: "By the way, I heard that Tianran was like this last time, and the people inside were also covered."

Tianran is the match factory managed by Yu Qiaqing. In foreign countries, especially Japan, matches are cheap. In addition, there are match factories in Shanghai. In order to gain market share and production capacity, Yu Qiaqing immediately launched a price war to open up the market. Although potassium chlorate in the match raw material is self-produced, when he invested earlier, he did not buy all the machines in order to save money. In order to quickly recruit workers and reduce costs, the contract workers under the control of Qingbang came in like this. Thinking that matches were dominated by Yu Qiaqing, Wang Xiaoxu suddenly didn't want to say anything. What he could do now is to manage the factory he could control.
