One night, after Du Yuesheng finished going out to run errands, she went to Lin Guisheng's room and stayed for a long time. The next day, Lin Guisheng expelled his younger brother from the Huang Mansion. Unexpectedly, Huang Jinrong, who was next to him, called Du Yuesheng to him: Go and chop off his fingers!
At that time, Du Yuesheng was still a younger brother in the Huang Mansion. Hearing Huang Jinrong's instructions, Du Yuesheng didn't know how to answer for a while, he had never been willing to make enemies with others openly, and he really didn't want to accept this task in his heart.
So, he cautiously tested: "I'm afraid he has already left Shanghai Tang!"
Huang Jinrong smoked a cigarette and swore that "Ah Guang is from Qingpu, Jiangsu, whether it is the last train or the boat, he will not leave until tomorrow." He's definitely still in Shanghai now, it's up to you to get your hands on his fingers!"
Du Yuesheng was secretly frightened, so she could only bite the bullet and go on an errand. Huang Jinrong took out a sharp axe from the side and handed it to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng picked it up and left in a hurry. After thinking about it, he bought a few bottles of wine and food, and knocked on Ah Guang's door.
While waiting for a response, Du Yuesheng silently mourned for Ah Guang in his heart: If he wasn't too greedy, he wouldn't have become the current lost dog, which can't be blamed on others.
This matter still has to start with the incident of grabbing soil and tobacco a few days ago.
On this day, Huang Jinrong got the news: a big merchant in Nanjing bought 5,000 taels of tobacco and packed it into 10 large bags, which were to be smuggled from the Huangpu River to Jiaxing.
As soon as he and his wife Lin Guisheng put it together, they planned to eat black and swallow the goods. So, he called 8 men led by Ah Guang to grab the goods, including Du Yuesheng.
That night, Ah Guang led these men to ambush a few hundred meters from the ferry, and piled a few rotten logs in the middle of the road in advance to set a trap. They lurked on both sides of the road and waited for each other to arrive.
Soon, a carriage with five people "stamped" from far to near and stopped in front of the barricade.
The coachman who drove the horse scolded and asked the other four bodyguards to get out of the car and move the barricade. But soon, he heard a "hula" sound, and before he could react, he fell to the ground.
It turned out that Du Yuesheng put a rope trap around his neck and pulled him off the carriage with all his might.
Du Yuesheng's actions fired a resounding shot at the robbery, and the rest of the people followed. Before they could react, daggers and pistols were pointed at them.
After controlling the bodyguards and the driver, Ah Guang took everyone to the carriage to count the fireworks. Unexpectedly, the amount of tobacco was inconsistent with the news that Huang Jinrong received, and there were 12 packs, 2 packs more than expected.
Touching the heavy smoke, Ah Guang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea. He took out his dagger, cut the extra clay into eight pieces, and distributed them to everyone.
When he was about to hand it to Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng instinctively took a step back. After Du Yuesheng entered the Huang Mansion, he had been cautious, but now he finally fell into Lin Guisheng's eyes, he didn't want to lose Lin Guisheng's trust at this time because of a small loss.
But how could Ah Guang let him be left alone, and directly stuffed it into his hand: "What are you afraid of, this is extraordinary, and the boss they don't know!"
Forced by the situation, Du Yuesheng could only accept them. Seeing this, Ah Guang's eyes lit up, and he told everyone fiercely: "Everyone shares the benefits together, if someone tells the truth, then Lao Tzu will not give up!"
Listen to it, but whoever has the big fist, Du Yuesheng will listen to whomever he wants, he has his own plans in his heart.
When he returned to the Huang Mansion, Lin Guisheng was ready to eat and waited for everyone. When he saw that the ten packs of tobacco soil were exactly in front of him, Lin Guisheng was very satisfied, and told everyone to eat a good meal and go to rest, and then turned his head and told Du Yuesheng to move the tobacco to his room.
Du Yuesheng is the only person in the Huang Mansion who can enter Lin Guisheng's room except for the personal maid and Huang Jinrong.
He knew that the real owner of the Huang Mansion was this brave and resourceful woman, and he knew which side he should fall towards.
Therefore, after Du Yuesheng arrived at Lin Guisheng's room, he told her what had happened.
After hearing this, Lin Guisheng's eyebrows were upside down, and he wanted to take Ah Guang on the spot. But she was afraid that she would be in trouble now, and she wouldn't be able to hide the fact that Du Yuesheng was an informant. After thinking about it, she let Du Yuesheng leave first, and after talking to Huang Jinrong, she planned to ask Ah Guang again the next day.
The next night, Lin Guisheng and Huang Jinrong sat in the hall together, surrounded by Huang Jinrong's Deli cadres.
"Call Ah Guang to me!" Huang Jinrong gave the order, and Ah Guang was brought to him. Looking at the battle, Ah Guang's heart was not good, and he waited for Huang Jinrong's next words with trepidation.
Huang Jinrong asked with a tiger face: "Ah Guang, how many packs of tobacco did you grab yesterday?" Ah Guang was shocked, thinking that the matter might be revealed, but at this juncture, even if he admits it, he will not be able to finish eating and walking, it is better to bite the bullet and not admit it, there may be a glimmer of life.
So, he replied, "As you got the news, a total of 10 packs!"
It's a pity that he didn't expect that since Huang Jinrong would ask questions on the spot, he must be completely sure.
Huang Jinrong slapped the handrail hard: "You dare to lie to Lao Tzu, you said that you robbed 10 packs, so why did you come to report 12 packs today!"
Ah Guang suddenly softened, and he forgot that Huang Jinrong was working in the patrol room. He was in a cold sweat, and there was no good excuse when he thought about it, so he could only quickly kowtow and apologize: "The little one should be damned, the master spares his life!" turned his head and kowtowed to Lin Guisheng again: "Master, spare my life, I don't dare anymore!"
Huang Jinrong wanted to severely punish him for a bad breath, but he was still appeased by Lin Guisheng. After she asked what had happened, it was exactly the same as what Du Yuesheng said, and then she made a decision: "Nian Aguang was loyal to his master before, and he didn't make any mistakes in the past, so let him get out of Shanghai Beach!"
Ah Guang, whose life was saved, hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted to thank the master and the master for their grace not to kill.
After Ah Guang retreated, Huang Jinrong dismissed the others, leaving Du Yuesheng alone, and confessed that he went to chop off Ah Guang's finger to vent his anger.
Du Yuesheng was secretly frightened, he didn't want to offend people, he had already told Ah Guang to leave the Huang Mansion through a whistleblower, and now he wanted to be this wicked person again, and he was rejected in his heart.
But he had just gained Lin Guisheng's trust, and he had also seen a hint of getting ahead, so he couldn't lose the opportunity. After thinking about it again, he could only think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not to make enemies, but also to solve the task satisfactorily.
He went back to his lodgings, took a few silver dollars and put them in his pocket, then bought some cooked food and wine, and carried his things to Ah Guang.
Seeing Du Yuesheng's Ah Guang, he was full of vigilance, believing that he was taking his life on the orders of Huang Jinrong and his wife.
Du Yuesheng smiled and said, "I'm here to see you off!" He lifted the things in his hand and asked Ah Guang to look at it through the moonlight.
Come to think of it, if you want his life, why is he the only one who comes, and he still has wine and food. Ah Guang welcomed him into the door and sat on the table with Du Yuesheng and drank heavily.
After three rounds of drinking, Du Yuesheng took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket and handed them to Ah Guang: "Brother, I can't help much, you can take these and make entanglements!"
Ah Guang was deeply surprised, he was in trouble, those good brothers did not come forward before, Du Yuesheng, a taciturn person who had only known him for many days, was so thoughtful. For a while, Ah Guang said to him with red eyes: "There are a lot of icing on the cake in the world, but there are very few who can send charcoal in the snow." I'm lucky, you take the money back, and use it for me in the future, just say!"
Du Yuesheng hurriedly said: "Brother, won't it be too little?" Ah Guang shook his head again and again, but Du Yuesheng didn't give him time to refuse, took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket, and sighed: "I still have a few pieces, which were originally my coils, or you take them first, and I'll think of a way." ”
Ah Guang was stunned: "You also want to leave Shanghai?" Du Yuesheng sighed helplessly: "If you don't go, you can't do it!"
He said that half of it was left in order to arouse Ah Guang's curiosity, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Ah Guang to say: "You are now a big celebrity in front of the boss's wife, why are you leaving now?"
Seeing that the other party had entered his own set, Du Yuesheng reluctantly took out his axe and put it on the table, and told him what Huang Jinrong had explained. Du Yuesheng said: "If I don't do it, my life will have to be handed over." But we're brothers, we can't do such fratricidal things!"
The two were silent for a while, and suddenly, Ah Guang picked up the axe with the strength of wine, raised the knife in his hand, and handed a finger to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak, his eyes widened and his lips trembled. Ah Guang took the cloth next to him and wrapped his hand, and smiled miserably: "Take it and hand it over!"
Du Yuesheng's face was full of tears, and she hugged his fist at him: "I won't forget my brother's kindness!" After speaking, he picked up his severed finger and left in the night.
Ah Guang, on the other hand, continued to stay there and drink the wine alone to relieve his sorrows.
Back at the Huang Mansion, Du Yuesheng quietly handed over Ah Guang's severed finger to Huang Jinrong, and there was no merit in the whole process. Huang Jinrong secretly wondered: This person will have a great weapon in the future!
Du Yuesheng's slender figure is able to become a green gang boss in the future, which is inseparable from his wisdom. Many sad hurdles are due to his use of his mind to make things rigid and soft, giving the other party a face, and his own reputation.
When it comes to chopping off his fingers, Ah Guang actually has no other way out. Even if he is unwilling to do it, Du Yuesheng can turn his head and take a few Jinrong's younger brothers to solve the errand openly. But Du Yuesheng gave him face and let him drink in advance, so that he had the courage to solve the problem for Du Yuesheng.
This is actually a win-win situation, Du Yuesheng can make a difference, and can minimize the damage, and Ah Guang can leave with peace of mind the next day.
@素素历史阁
This is Du Yuesheng's style of acting: say the softest words and do the hardest things.
Du Yuesheng is very sober, for the sake of the overall situation, he does not covet small profits, and he does not directly hurt his brotherhood. In a few words, he sold the other party and counted the money for himself.
It's no wonder that he can become the "godfather" of Shanghai with friends all over the world.
