Hong Kong Island Old Events

After Lin Datou received the call from Mr. He, his forehead was covered with sweat. Ever since he knew that his subordinate Zhu Tao was colluding with Chen Jiale, he knew that he would not be able to escape Sir He's blow. After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to the leader next to him: "Let's set up a banquet. I'll have tea with He Sheng later."

"knew."

"Dragon head." The leader nodded quickly.

He Dingxian arrived at the Ba Min Guild Hall in Kowloon by car. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Lin Datou wearing a long gown and standing at the foot of the steps running hurriedly. He opened the car door and bent deeply: "He Sheng, welcome."

This is the residence of the Fujian Merchants and Overseas Chinese Association on Hong Kong Island. Originally, there were not many bosses left. However, with the success of Nanyang's independence, many Fujian merchants who went to Nanyang discovered that Hong Kong Island might be separated from the British colony, and they made some investments in Hong Kong Island.

Fu Yixing, who had been working for Fujian merchants before World War II, was still not weak, and naturally became the top thug of Fujian merchants.

Fujian businessmen mainly engage in textile industry, import and export trade on Hong Kong Island, such as real estate, people's livelihood, shipping and other fields. Since I sold out once in the early years, I no longer have the chips to join again. The Chaoshan people were successful in hunting down the Hong Kong Island market, but the Fujian merchants, with their capital from that year, also made a lot of money in Nanyang.

He Dingxian raised his eyes and looked at the door couplet of the guild hall that was newly renovated the year before last. He saw that the sea is open to all rivers and can accommodate the big eight characters. He knew in his heart that it was the spirit of the Fujian people. He nodded and said: "Let's talk inside."

"good."

Lin Datou lowered his head and led the way, leading people through a stone gate and arriving at a garden.

The two of them sat down at a stone table. There was a big banyan tree next to the chair, with spreading branches, entangled vines, and pavilions like a canopy. In front is a pond of koi carp, forming a Feng Shui pattern of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, with wealth coming from all directions.

There are many banyan trees on Hong Kong Island, and there is a big tree in Wan Chai. Most of them were planted by the Fujian people in the early years.

But it is far less big than the tree in front of me.

"Brother Datou, aren't you afraid of being caught in the wind by planting such a big tree?" He Dingxian couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Lin Datou, who was making tea, had his wrists trembling slightly and almost lost his ability to hold the tea cup steady. He quickly explained: "He Sheng, Datou The bosses just like it.”

“The banyan trees provide great shade in the summer, and except for the more mosquitoes, it’s actually quite enjoyable.”

He Dingxian nodded: "Zhu Tao is with you?"

"They're just people from Fuyixing. As a leader, I haven't seen them a few times." Lin Datou looked bitter and did not deliberately shirk responsibility. He continued: "But people with culture and skills can be found everywhere." popular."

"He can make money for the club, and his uncles will definitely support him."

"Despite his young age, many people still want to support him in the next election."

Although there are many people who are more promising than Zhu Tao in terms of seniority, having people supporting him can prove how popular he is.

"You mean, it's none of your business?" He Dingxian raised his eyebrows, took the tea from him, and took a sip.

Lin Datou hurriedly said: "He Sheng, I don't mean to shirk my responsibilities. I haven't managed my subordinates well. Please do it for me. I must have done a bad job. But once the order for restructuring is given, the club leaders and uncles are willing to accept it." .”

"It's impossible for all the newcomers below who want to get ahead, the young people who are not afraid of death, to be obedient."

He Dingxian nodded: "Oh."

"I understand what you mean."

Snapped.

He put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "Since you can't be a good person, then change it to another person. Originally, smuggling white powder was considered a trivial matter at most. It would be enough to catch clues for our police team and admit defeat. But it still happened to be investigated. If a corruption case comes out, it will not be as simple as retiring if it is not based on years of relationship."

Lin Datou was shocked, knowing that his love back then had been used, otherwise he would have been jailed at best, or fed to the fishes at worst. And he himself also intends to retire, two years earlier or two years later, there is not much difference.

It's embarrassing to be kicked out, but which one is more important, face or dignity?

"good."

Lin Datou said cheerfully: "If He Sheng asks me to take responsibility, I will be responsible to the end. I will deal with the aftermath before retiring."

"Um."

"You can choose your new position in the club." An ordinary police force boss might want to get involved in Fuyixing, but He Dingxian has passed that stage and doesn't need the club to be a pawn.

And if he doesn't protect Fu Yixing, how can the person he chooses convince the public?

It's nothing more than a show-off.

Driving Lin Datou out of office is enough to send a warning to the world.

But not everyone has the face of Brother Big Touou, so if you dare to do this, you have to think twice. In addition, He Dingxian also determined based on the investigation that the case had nothing to do with Lin Datou, and Zhu Tao was not the scapegoat who was pushed out. On the contrary, Lin Datou seemed more implicated.

Just as He Dingxian wanted to use Chen Jiale's fate to warn the police force, Lin Datou also wanted to use Zhu Tao to warn Fu Yixing.

An organization is not that easy to manage

"Thank you He Sheng."

Lin Datou breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the matter was settled, he felt a lot more comfortable. After drinking a few cups of tea with He Dingxian, he stood up and said, "He Sheng, dinner is ready. Let's have a meal together."

Stanley Prison.

laundry room.

Zhu Tao was wearing prison uniform and glasses, squatting on the ground and rubbing his clothes vigorously. Several horsemen from Fu Yixing followed beside them, working very hard. Looking at their backs, it felt particularly hard. Because today's laundry rooms do not have washing machines or laundry detergent.

What was the easiest job in prisons in later generations is now the hardest work in prisons.

More than thirty prisoners were crowded into a small room, with a large wooden basin placed in front of each person. They bent over the washboard and rubbed their hands. Many of them had washed their hands until they turned white and shed their skin.

From time to time, someone would pick up soap and apply it, but they would use it very preciously. Without it, the monthly soap quota is fixed. If you apply too much soap for laundry, you have to pay the prison guard to buy it. If the clothes are not washed cleanly, the consequences will be disastrous. As a result, there are often incidents of grabbing soap and fighting when washing clothes.

Washing clothes for the prison guards is the most beautiful job, and you can get soap sent by the prison guards. On the premise of washing the clothes, I can save a few pieces of leftover soap every few months to exchange for cigarettes. In prison, soap is a valuable commodity. It can be used not only for washing clothes and bathing, but also for many things.

Helping in the kitchen is a job that requires paying bribes.

Although Zhu Tao grew up in an ordinary family, he was pampered by his parents. He rarely did dirty work and enjoyed love beyond his class. However, he was unable to adapt to his position in society. Wanting to get ahead, he joined the club without any surprise.

He had thin arms and thin legs. It took a lot of effort to rub his clothes and his waist. He was so tired that he was almost paralyzed on the first day of his imprisonment. Fortunately, there were a few horse boys who were willing to help him share the burden. Even when fetching water, someone looked out for Fu Yixing's face and helped.

These days, young and Dangerous people are still thinking about coming out again after being in prison. Major social groups often have influence in prisons. The Correctional Services Department will also make personnel adjustments based on the different social groups in each institution and prison to avoid the situation where one company is the dominant one.

Therefore, Zhu Tao was a white paper fan before he was arrested, and he was still a white paper fan after he was arrested. There is preferential treatment in the same environment. This is also a system deliberately set up by the Jianghu Society. They should take more care of their younger brothers who are in prison and promote more brothers who are released from prison. Otherwise, everyone is afraid of going to jail. Who would dare to help the society?

Therefore, the eldest brother in Jianghu always defaults to sending money to his younger brother who is going to visit him in prison, at least once or twice a year. The club tacitly agrees to promote the younger brothers who are in prison, and even if they have little merit, they will be assigned to manage one or two stores.

Solve the worries of the brothers so that they can never look back. But the system is good, but people have selfish motives. As the world changes, big bosses who ignore the younger brothers and throw them away after use have begun to appear, and the cost of employment is high. If it is low, it will mix better.

Societies that are ruthless and unkind to their members and don't take care of them are gradually emerging. As a result, the world no longer cares about loyalty, but only focuses on interests! Before the 1970s, the word loyalty was very important in the world. In the 1970s, the word gradually changed. Until the 1980s, those who spoke of loyalty were ridiculed.

This change in ethos and collapse of the system is not a simple change in human nature. Human beings are a combination of good and evil, and they will never change. It's just that the social environment amplifies a certain aspect. The change in the atmosphere of Jianghu is actually the separation between the police force and Jianghu, which has made it difficult for major associations to do business.

If we cannot win the economic settlement and the military settlement, we can only draw down the bottom line, engage in involution, and continuously squeeze ourselves. This creates a scene where bad money drives out good money, and despicable money drives away morality. Naturally, no one is moral. If they come out to fool around, they will stab the brothers twice.

Even the world of Jianghu will collapse in the internal spiral, leading to an increasingly worse situation, not to mention other aspects of the society.

At this time, a man named Fu Yixing, who was in prison, led people into the laundry room. Several wash basins were kicked to the ground along the way. The criminals squatting on the ground dared not speak in anger. Because people in Fu Yixing are very discerning and will not bully those with big prefixes, but those with small prefixes and no background.

Prison is also a side of society, but it is a side that adheres to the law of the jungle. Chao Yiyong and Dong Yitang were squatting on the ground, watching with great interest what Fu Yixing was going to do. A younger brother had already received the wink and quietly touched the corner.

They were not allowed to leave the laundry room without orders, otherwise they would be subject to confinement and increased punishment, but if something happened, they could run out as quickly as possible to call someone. But Fu Yixing Dadi didn't look for them. Instead, he stood in front of Zhu Tao and said, "Four eyes Tao."

"ah?"

Zhu Tao raised his head, but the younger brothers around him didn't know why. However, Fu Yixing's big bottom pig dragon spoke righteously and shouted openly: "Grandpa has ordered that if Zhu Tao is fanned with white paper by Longhu Hall, he colludes with officials and harms his brothers. He should be punished as a warning!"

"Xuanwu Hall Red Stick Zhu Zhicong will be executed on October 6th!"

After he finished speaking aloud, he suddenly pulled out a razor blade from his arms, grabbed Zhu Tao's neck, and cut the blood vessel with a single stroke regardless of his resistance. Zhu Tao covered his veins and tried to get up and run out, but another person knocked him over with his feet, and he fell backwards and fell into the wash basin.

As the person struggled to death, red water mixed with blood filled the laundry room. Members of other clubs stood nearby, their eyes filled with fear, and their hearts stirred up turmoil. Zhu Tao's younger brother came to his senses and shouted in fear: "Brother Zhulong, you are also from Fuyixing!"

Zhulong just replied coldly: "I am Fu Yixing's executioner!"
