The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"Mr. Zhou is here!"

Hearing the shouts from outside, Du Yuesheng got up immediately, and said to Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, "Master Rong, brother Xiaolin, Mr. Zhou is here, let's go out to meet him."

"Which Mr. Zhou? It's so grand." Huang Jinrong wondered.

Du Yuesheng laughed loudly, dragged the text and said: "Zhou Hexuan, the number one celebrity in China."

Huang Jinrong scratched his head and said in confusion, "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Zhang Xiaolin showed disdain, and said with a sneer, "It's that guy from Tianjin who sells bellybands. He seems to have written a few broken books and is well-known in the south and the north. This kind of poor scholar, what's important, you have to welcome yourself. "

"So I'm a scholar," Huang Jinrong said cheerfully, "I, Huang Mazi, have gained a lot of knowledge today, and I am imbued with literary spirit. Let's go and greet him together."

Seeing that Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng had gone out, Zhang Xiaolin couldn't stay in the room any longer, and followed them out slowly.

Zhou Hexuan happened to lead Sun Yongzhen through the garden, and ran into the three of them at the door of the main room.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou," Du Yuesheng introduced, "This is Boss Huang Jinrong, and this is Boss Zhang Xiaolin Zhang."

Zhou Hexuan didn't expect that "Mr. Night Pot", "Mr. Scavenger" and "Mr. Traitor" were all gathered. He greeted with Hongmen etiquette: "Zhou Hexuan, the main hall of Wuzhou Hongmen, met the three brothers of the Qing Gang."

The three bosses were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that Zhou Hexuan was from the Hongmen, and even Zhang Xiaolin put away his disdainful expressions.

Du Yuesheng asked: "I don't know what position Mr. Zhou holds in Hongmen?"

"Hongmen's new fortune." Zhou Hexuan replied.

Both Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin were a little confused, because most Hongmen organizations did not have the title of "Xinfu" at all, they only knew titles such as leader, marshal, and incense master.

Only Huang Jinrong has the oldest qualifications and knows the most about Hongmen. Although "Xin Fu" belonged to a guest official with no real power, in theory he was on an equal footing with the leader of the Hongmen. Huang Jinrong quickly clasped his fists and said, "I see, Zhou Xiandi is being polite."

The three invited Zhou Hexuan into the living room, and Du Yuesheng quietly asked Huang Jinrong: "Master Rong, what kind of seat is Xinfu?"

Zhang Xiaolin also leaned over curiously, only to hear Huang Jinrong say: "Xinfu is a homonym for a confidant. It belongs to the confidant and think tank of the leader of the Hongmen. , then Xinfu is equivalent to Zhuge Liang."

"Isn't it the most advanced white paper fan?" Du Yuesheng asked in surprise.

"It can be said that," Huang Jinrong nodded, "but there are also some Xinfu who have no real name and are just high-ranking guest officials. No matter what, Xinfu is the master of the Hongmen main hall, and must not be offended. Don't give Xinfu face , just not giving Hongmen face, the consequences are more serious than offending Marshal Hongmen."

Zhang Xiaolin sneered and said, "It doesn't matter what new or old blessings he has, when he comes to Shanghai Beach, he has to be coiled up, or a tiger has to lie down, it's not up to our Green Gang to decide."

"Many friends have many paths, so it's better to be careful in receiving them." Du Yuesheng no longer regarded Zhou Hexuan as an ordinary celebrity, but a person in the world who needed to be treated with courtesy.

As Du Yuesheng said, he took two steps forward and greeted warmly: "Brother Zhou, please take a seat."

"Don't dare," Zhou Hexuan declined with a smile, "I'm just a guest, and my qualifications are shallow, how dare I sit in front of my brothers."

Du Yuesheng was exquisite, supported Huang Jinrong and said: "Then please take the seat, Lord Rong, you are the senior elder of the Green Gang."

Huang Jinrong laughed and said: "Then I will not be polite."

After Huang Jinrong took the main seat, Du Yuesheng asked Zhou Hexuan to take the second seat, and he took the second seat, while Zhang Xiaolin was placed at the bottom.

Zhang Xiaolin's face was ashen. If the seats were arranged according to seniority, then he should also sit behind Huang Jinrong. Even if there were friends from Hongmen present, he would sit behind Zhou Hexuan at most, how could it be impossible for him to be at the bottom!

Based on this seating arrangement alone, Zhou Hexuan could see that the three were fighting openly and secretly, and it seemed that Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng were working together to suppress Zhang Xiaolin.

Du Yuesheng raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhou, I have admired your name for a long time, Yuesheng will toast you first!"

"Boss Du, you're being polite, Mr. Zhou is the first to do it!" Zhou Hexuan raised his neck and drank it dry, turning the wine glass back upside down.

"Brother Zhou is bold!" Huang Jinrong gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Xiaolinpi sat there with a nonchalant smile, playing with the wine glass without speaking, and looked at Du Yuesheng coldly.

Zhou Hexuan is still very interested in Du Yuesheng. Although he has never read a book, he can comprehend many truths by himself, and the words he speaks are very philosophical.

There are too many classic quotations by Du Yuesheng, all of which are rough and reasonable, such as: don’t be afraid of being used by others, if they use you, it means that you are still useful; first-class people are capable but have no temper; Temperament, the last class, incompetent, big temper; people who don't smoke and drink are mostly people who are strict with themselves, and generally can be trusted for life. Those who are obsessed with wine, sex, wealth, gas and smoke (opium) must be careful.

Du Yuesheng's most classic is the "chamber theory". He compared the gang to a chamber pot. When he was in a hurry to urinate, someone (Chang Kaishen) took it out and used it, and then stuffed it back under the bed to be shameful.

This person has done many bad things, but it is rare that he is righteous. When the Japanese attacked Shanghai, he once provided people and money to form an anti-Japanese ranger, pulling up a team of 2,000 people to assist the national army in fighting, and later assisted Dai Li in assassinating traitors many times.

Du Yuesheng also has a famous saying: If the Japanese use the concession to attack the Chinese, I, Du Yuesheng, will destroy all the concession within two hours!

On the wine table, wine and wine were exchanged, Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong both laughed happily, but Zhang Xiaolin kept quiet.

Zhang Xiaolin was a little stunned, he likes to be upright when things happen, and he can't hide what's on his mind.

Take the ax helper Wang Yaqiao as an example. Two years ago, Wang Yaqiao slapped the Shanghai Police Commander twice in public, but the Security Commander didn't dare to fight back. After Huang Jinrong saw it, he immediately went back to restrain his subordinates, saying that everyone should not mess with the Ax Gang, they are all desperate.

Du Yuesheng also didn't want to provoke Wang Yaqiao, and would voluntarily back down when encountering conflicts, for fear that the Ax Gang would make trouble.

Only Zhang Xiaolin was resolute and refused to back down. Just two years later, Wang Yaqiao became enemies with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin because of the "Jiang Anlun incident". Du Yuesheng wanted to compromise to resolve the conflict. As for Zhang Xiaolin, he actually wanted to send someone to assassinate Wang Yaqiao.

Isn't this Nima funny?

Wang Yaqiao's nickname was "Assassination King". He even dared to assassinate Chang Kaishen and Wang Zhaoming.

Zhang Xiaolin actually wanted to assassinate Wang Yaqiao, it was simply a trick in front of Guan Gong's door.

As a result, Wang Yaqiao sent people to blow up a hole in the backyard wall of Zhang Xiaolin's house, and took more than 500 members of the Ax Gang to take over Jiang Anlun by force. Zhang Xiaolin had nothing to do about it. In the end, Du Yuesheng rushed to the pier and negotiated with Wang Yaqiao in person to solve the problem.

As Du Yuesheng said: A hero is not afraid of low birth, the key is to have a good brain.

A brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that Zhang Xiaolin doesn't have one.

Huang Jinrong was able to live in New China to sweep the streets for the people, Du Yuesheng was able to die in Hong Kong, but Zhang Xiaolin died of assassination after being a traitor. This is called the brain determines the fate.
