The years flew by, spring to winter, the practitioners of the boxing gym walked in batches and came in batches, and in the blink of an eye more than ten years had passed.
The remote fishing village is like an isolated hideaway. If Meng Xiaoshan had not accidentally heard a practitioner from a foreign village talk about the Republic of China government, Meng Xiaoshan would have always thought that he was living in the Qing Dynasty.
It has been 17 years since the Republic of China, and the villagers of Donglin Fishing Village do not even know that the country has already changed dynasties. The Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty seem to be no different to the villagers of Donglin Fishing Village, but for the Meng Xiaoshan brothers, the Republic of China means freedom, which means that from now on, you can no longer hide your name, you can live a bright and upright life, and it also means that Huang Brother's anti-Qing cause has been successful.
Since the eldest brother's anti-Qing cause has been successful, perhaps the eldest brother has become a hero of the Republic of China government.
Meng Xiaoshan decided to look for Big Brother Huang, and the brothers couldn't help but clap their hands in excitement when they heard that they were going to look for Big Brother Huang.
Yes, after eighteen years in an isolated fishing village, whether you can find Big Brother Huang or not, it is time to take the brothers to the big city to see.
The villagers of the fishing village and the practitioners of the boxing gym heard that the Meng Xiaoshan brothers were leaving the fishing village, and they were reluctant to say anything. On the morning of leaving, the villagers of the eight townships rushed to bid farewell when they heard the news, and some of the practitioners couldn't help but cry loudly, "Master, master..." The meng Xiaoshan brothers couldn't help but cry in the face of this scene.
On the afternoon of December 23, 1928, the Meng Xiaoshan brothers came to the provincial capital of Yong'an in Fujian Province, and Meng Xiaoshan thought to himself, "Since Brother Huang is a hero of the National Government, maybe he can go to the provincial police station to find some news." ”
A middle-aged police officer in the reception room of the Yong'an Provincial Police Station was reading the newspaper with his feet resting on the table, when he saw a group of middle-aged foreigners in shabby clothes, who looked very impatient, "What case to report?" Murder or robbery? The middle-aged officer said loudly.
"Boss, we want to inquire about our eldest brother, he..."
"Say, what's your name, you've been missing for a few days?" The officer took a notebook and said impatiently.
"The eldest brother's name is Huang Baoxiong, who left Foshan eighteen years ago, and he..."
Before Meng Xiaoshan finished speaking, there was a sound of "popping", and the middle-aged police officer slapped the table and shouted, "Okay, well, we are here at the police station, not a bag to inquire, what a mess, you ,......", suddenly the police officer looked at Meng Xiaoshan, "You say, what is the name of your big brother?" ”
"Huang Baoxiong, banana banana, heroic male, he is an anti-Qing righteous soldier of the League." Meng Xiaoshan replied.
"Are you looking for the Gun King?" Assassinate the Great King Huang Shuoxiong? ”
"What? Big Brother Huang is the King of Guns? Assassinate the King? The Meng Xiaoshan brothers couldn't help but look at each other.
"Boss, we don't know if Big Brother Huang is the king of guns, but my eldest brother plays a two-gun game with one hand." Dong Yuyang said with a thumbs up.
"Brothers, your big brother Huang is a red man of the National Government." The police officer stood up and smiled and said to Meng Xiaoshan.
"So, where is Big Brother Huang now?"
"Oh, he's in Shanghai now, he's the leader of the Shanghai Axe Gang, that's a big hero." The officer gave a thumbs up and said loudly.
"However, it is really difficult to say whether this Huang Banana Xiong is your big brother Huang." The police officer said and looked up and down at the Meng Xiaoshan brothers.
Big Brother Huang is now a red man in the National Government? Is it the Shanghai Axe Gang leader?
Meng Xiaoshan decided to go to Shanghai, and whether huang baoxiong of the Shanghai Axe Gang was the huangjiaoxiong they were looking for, he would go to meet the huangjiaoxiong big brother.
Meng Xiaoshan led the brothers all the way to Ningbo, Zhejiang, where they boarded a passenger ship Haiyun bound for Shanghai.
On the afternoon of January 13, 1929, the passenger ship docked at Shanghai 16 Shop Wharf.
Although it is the middle of winter, it is light snow and cold winds, but the road next to the pier is crowded, bustling, and a noisy busy scene.
Stepping out of the dock, I saw that there were many high-rise buildings not far away, and various types of cars of all sizes shuttled through the wide road, which made the Meng Xiaoshan brothers dazzled and dazzled.
On the east and west sides of the pier is an outer road along the river, and on the narrow outer road, pedestrians, porters, and rickshaws are constantly flowing, noisy and busy.
Behind you is the Huangpu River, looking out over the river, only to see snowflakes flying all over the sky, several fishing boats with full sails are sailing against the wind, and a passenger ship "Uh... Whew", the whistle drove on the river, and dozens of white seagulls hovered around the passenger ship "Chirp... Tweet" chirped.
The Meng Xiaoshan brothers walked slowly west along the outer road by the river. On one side of the outer road by the river are various stalls and pickers, and on the opposite side are a variety of shops along the street.
There is a lane not far in front, the three big characters of "Xingheli" above the lane are very eye-catching, and there is a "Xinghong Hotel" sign on the wall next to the entrance of the lane, and Meng Xiaoshan plans to go to the hotel to settle down first.
The narrow alley is nearly 100 meters deep, and the Xinggong Hotel is in the innermost part of the alley. The hotel is a two-story Shikumen house converted, the façade is not large, the entrance is a patio, two sides side by side three rooms, the middle room is the front desk service of the hotel. The hotel has eleven rooms, the upper floor is full, and there are two rooms left downstairs. Meng Xiaoshan asked for the remaining two rooms to settle down.
The hotel was very noisy, and the brothers put down their bags and left the hotel.
Unexpectedly, just out of the hotel gate, I suddenly heard the cries of women and children not far in front of me, surrounded by seven or eight people. When I got closer, it turned out to be six young men wearing black top hats and dressed in black cotton clothes pulling a young woman, and the woman cried out: "Big brother, please spare our mother and daughter, big brother!" ......”
"If you owe a debt to pay off, blame your husband!" A tall thin man tugged at the woman's arm and said viciously.
A little girl of seven or eight years old next to her cried out, "Mom, Mom! "Pulling on the young woman's clothes tightly and not letting go. Next to the little girl knelt a middle-aged man, prostrating her head while shouting: "Good uncle, give me a few more days, uncle..."
"Take the money and release people, otherwise you will let your wife sell her body to pay back the money!" A chubby short man said and kicked the man to the ground.
"Excuse me, what's going on?" Meng Xiaoshan whispered to an old man standing nearby.
"Alas, her husband owed money in the casino and had no money to pay off the debt, so the casino took his wife to the brothel to sell herself to pay off the debt." Alas, pitiful. The old man said and shook his head repeatedly.
"Why?" Ren Tianxiang couldn't help but be indignant when he heard it.
"Talk softly, they're not easy to mess with." The old man said softly.
Ren Tianxiang not only did not heed the advice of the old man, but instead took a step forward and shouted: "Hey, what is the ability to bully women!" ”
The six young men dressed in black looked at Ren Tianxiang curiously.
"Are you talking?" The chubby short man pointed at Ren Tianxiang and shouted.
"How? Don't understand? Bullying women counts as a man! Ren Tianxiang said loudly.
"Oh, fuck don't want to live?" The chubby short man said and pushed his right hand towards Ren Tianxiang's chest.
Ren Tianxiang grabbed the palm of the other party's palm with his left hand, and raised his wrist upwards, "Ah, ah! The stocky man immediately squatted down and screamed like a pig.
The five companions on the side couldn't help but be stunned when they saw it, "Fuck, it's really not fatal!" Did him to me! The tall thin man said that Bi pulled out a short knife and walked towards Ren Tianxiang, and the other four companions also pulled out their short knives and surrounded him.
Meng Xiaoshan's brothers stood aside, neither blocking Ren Tianxiang nor helping, just quietly watching.
Only to see Ren Tianxiang's left hand pulled backwards, his right hand raised, and the fat short man was thrown to the ground with a scream. Then a forward stride, the body spun sharply, the arms waved, the tall thin man and another companion were thrown to the ground by a heavy swoop. The body jumped, a scissors kicked the leg, and the two companions behind him were immediately kicked out of the way five steps away. In just a moment, the six young men dressed in black who had just been domineering were now lying on the ground and only humming.
"Good, good!" The crowd clapped their hands and shouted.
The six young men struggled to get up and helped each other out of laughter.
"Thank you, thank you benefactor!" The woman pulled the little girl towards Ren Tianxiang and knelt down.
"Please get up, please get up." Ren Tianxiang hurriedly picked up the woman.
Meng Xiaoshan stepped forward and stuffed a roll of paper money in the woman's hand: "Hold it, buy some food for the child." ”
"Big brother, thank you for saving our family, thank you ,......" The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground stood up and shook at the Meng Xiaoshan brothers one after another, and said loudly in a choked voice.
"It's all your gambling, one person does things and one person does it, how can you harm your wife and children, it's really harmful!" Someone in the crowd shouted angrily.
"Dear neighbors, I will never go to the gambling hall again, thank you for your kind hearts." The man pulled his wife and children and said in a loud voice.
A tall middle-aged man in the crowd approached Meng Xiaoshan and whispered, "Good man, these people are not easy to mess with, they are the people of the Green Gang, they will definitely come to take revenge." ”
"They're coming, and we're here." Meng Xiaoshan said.
"That skinny tall man, his eldest brother was originally the head of the Sixteen Shops Hall, and now he is the eldest brother of the Twelve King Kongs of the Green Gang, and this man is very horizontal." Middle-aged man reminded.
"He's going to play a trick? Then we are more horizontal than him! Dong Yuyang, who was beside him, couldn't help but say angrily.
"Each of the twelve Kongs has two guns, so you must pay attention." The middle-aged man reminded again.
"Thanks, we'll be careful." Meng Xiaoshan hugged his fist to the middle-aged man and thanked him.
The brothers walked on the outer road for a while, and saw that there was a Tianjin dog bun shop next to it, and usually everyone liked to eat buns, so they entered the dog bun shop.
A bowl of steaming noodle tea and six buns went down, and the brothers suddenly felt warm and comfortable, and their spirits were greatly lifted.
At eight o'clock, the brothers returned to Xingheli. At this moment, the alley was silent. There is a wooden telephone pole erected in the lane, and a street lamp on the pole sways with the wind and "creaks" non-stop, and the narrow and deep lane looks very dim and quiet under the shaking street lamp.
Pushing open the door of the hotel and stepping into the patio, the whole hotel was silent, and the brothers couldn't help but be stunned, "Hey, how did the noisy hotel become so quiet, they all slept?" Dong Yuyang muttered in a low voice.
Pushing open the two lattice wooden doors at the front desk of the hotel, I saw that the smoke in the house was thick, and there were about a dozen men wearing black top hats and short black coats sitting at the small front desk, and several young people dressed in black clothes stood next to them.
"Big brother, that's them!" The tall thin man standing by pointed at Meng Xiaoshan's brothers and shouted loudly.
"Haha, I finally got you guys." A tall, burly man with a cigar in his hand stood up and laughed.
The person who laughed was no one else, it was Tu Zhihong, the head of the famous Qinggang Twelve King Kongs on Shanghai Beach, who was called Black King Kong by Shanghai Beach because of his black face and beard.
These twelve King Kongs were arrogant and arrogant in their daily lives, and they did not take these dozen outsiders seriously, seeing that the hotel was small and not conducive to exercising their skills, so they agreed to go to the dock square not far away.
It is also considered that the twelve King Kongs are unlucky, although everyone has a good fist and foot kung fu, and they are all fierce characters who play with their lives, unfortunately, the kung fu masters who met the meng Xiaoshan brothers were only beaten.
Meng Xiaoshan's brothers knew that the other side's coat hid a gun, in order not to give the other party a chance to draw the gun, they came up and made a move with a swift and thunderous Luohan fist, and the twelve King Kongs could not be overwhelmed, and wanted to free their hands to pull out the pistol in the back, but found that there was no chance to draw the gun at all.
After a few rounds, the twelve King Kongs were immediately beaten to the ground and either killed or injured, and Tu Zhihong was killed on the spot by Meng Xiaoshan's heavy punch. For details, see "Legend of the Green Gang (V)".
In the patrol room, when the patrol heard that the eldest brother of the twelve foreigners was Huang Jiaoxiong, the leader of the Axe Gang, he informed the Axe Gang of the letter, so that the brothers who had been separated for eighteen years were finally reunited.
The Meng Xiaoshan brothers also became famous on the beach because of this, and were called the twelve arhats of the Axe Gang by the shanghai beach.
Since the Meng Xiaoshan brothers joined the Axe Gang, the Axe Gang is even more powerful, in order to combat Japan's aggressive arrogance, the Axe Gang led the brothers to first destroy the legendary spy of the Japanese military community "Twelve Sakura" in one fell swoop.
In retaliation for the Axe Gang, the Japanese military dispatched Japan's most powerful gang, the Black Dragon Society, in an attempt to eliminate the Axe Gang in one fell swoop. The Black Dragon Society almost all of its masters launched a deadly duel with the Axe Gang, but unexpectedly, they were killed by the Axe Gang, and no one was spared. But the Axe Gang also killed and injured many of its brothers. Among them, Meng Xiaoshan's three brothers were also killed on the spot in the decisive battle. Since then, the Axe Gang Twelve Arhats have become the Nine Arhats. For details, see the headline series "Japan's Most Powerful Gang Meets China's Most Arrogant Gang: Life and Death Showdown.".
