Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 69 Dragon Gang
Ju Zhang's plump body blocked half of the door, blocking the light tightly, and it was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything clearly, maybe there was a wind blowing, and I couldn't feel it.

He Qi was taken aback, and froze at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Qian Xuan's face suddenly changed, and his voice became much lower.

"I'm here to report to you?" Ju Zhang glanced at Qian Xuan, then looked at He Qi, raised his hand, and said that he came with two bottles of wine, "Why, no Please come in and sit down?"

Qian Xuan was about to speak out, but was stopped by He Qi, turned sideways, gave way to the place where he came in, and reluctantly said: "Come in and talk."

Ju Chang was not wearing a military uniform at this time, but changed into an extremely uncoordinated long gown, and wore a melon skin hat, showing half of his head. Shakingly walked towards the stone table in the courtyard.

Brother Xun didn't catch a cold with Ju Chang, so he got out of his seat and went to lie down on the recliner, smoking a cigarette. Qian Xuan sat opposite Ju Chang and stared closely. He Qi sat beside him and chatted briskly The atmosphere in the small courtyard suddenly became tense, there was no sound, and needles could be heard.

Ju Chang put the two bottles of Xifeng wine he brought on the table, and took out an envelope from his arms, without any words written on it, and then he ate the things on the table, saying: "What kind of chess hall are you today? Opening, let’s not talk about the relationship between the two of us as fellow villagers. You have helped the labor and management a lot before. The labor and management are supposed to go to congratulate him. However, the labor and management are self-aware and full of blood. If you go, I’m afraid it will touch your bad luck. , so I thought about coming in the evening, but something temporarily delayed me."

Speaking of this, Ju Zhang paused, even stopped eating, as if this matter was related to He Qi, and said: "It's too late."

He Qi pointed to the letter and asked, "What is this?"

No one poured wine for Chief Ju, so he filled a glass of wine for himself, and while drinking, he put the envelope in front of He Qi, and said, "This is a congratulatory gift for you, open it and have a look."

Qian Xuan also approached, and the two opened the letter, it was a letter of appointment, appointing Qi as the assistant to the director of the Security Department, He Qi weighed the letter of appointment, puzzled and said: "What does this mean? "

Ju Chang twirled a few peanuts and put them in his mouth, and then twirled a few slices of roast duck, as if he hadn't eaten dinner. After chewing, he said lightly: "The monthly salary is 200 yuan, and you don't have to work on time. You continue to open your chess hall. This is considered a free salary, don't take it for nothing, it will only benefit you and not harm you."

Qian Xuan was full of prejudice against Ju Zhang, kicked He Qi under the table, and said: "The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken—it has no good intentions, brother Yubai, don't be fooled, the chess hall makes enough money .”

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. He Qi naturally understands this truth, but He Qi understands Ju Chang better. He folded it and put it back in the envelope, and put it back on the table in front of Ju Zhang without the original seal, but he refused decisively.

"I'll take the wine, take the letter of appointment back."

All of this seemed to be within Ju Chang's expectation, and he was not surprised at all. He continued to eat roast duck and peanuts, and took another sip of wine. By the way, he reminded: "You should think about it carefully."

He Qi was resolute and immediately refused: "Don't think about it, I won't accept it."

Ju Chang continued to eat, but asked a nonsensical question: "It's open today, no one is causing trouble, right?"

Qian Xuan hurriedly said: "We don't steal, and we don't rob. We are upright and upright, what can we do?"

However, He Qi was keenly aware that Ju Chang seemed to have something in his words, implying a deep meaning.

With a contemptuous smile on Ju Chang's face, he glanced at Qian Xuan and said, "Dragon Gang, you know that, right?"

This is the largest low-level black society organization in Beiping, just like the Youth Gang in Shanghai Stock Exchange. The composition of the members is very complicated. Qian Xuan's hairs exploded, feeling the naked threat, and shouted: "What are you doing?"

Juchang asked again: "Your restaurant used to be a Huaiyang restaurant. It's in such a good place. Do you know why you didn't do it?"

He Qi was stunned.

Qian Xuan asked: "What do you mean? Is it the ghost of the Dragon Gang?"

"That place used to be a big smoke shop. It closed down in [-], and later opened a Huaiyang restaurant." Ju Chang said unhurriedly, and suddenly glanced at Qian Xuan, his eyes full of sarcasm: "'Gongji' ', you should know that Qianmen, Dashilan, and Bada Hutong are all their opium halls, and the smoke from the restaurants, hotels, restaurants, and brothels in Beiping also come from them. Your chess hall has such a great reputation , there are a lot of people coming, but it is also suitable for selling opium.”

It can be said that any shop with a prosperous business in Beiping will be forced by the Dragon Gang to sell opium. What Ju Chang means is that the previous Huaiyang restaurant did not agree to sell opium, so it closed down. Even so, He Qi still Resolutely denied: "We will never sell opium."

"Many people didn't want to sell it at first, but they all sold it later." Ju Chang put the letter back in front of He Qi, filled another glass of wine, drank it heartily, and said, "Keep this letter, People from the Dragon Gang will come tomorrow, and they will leave when they see it."

Qian Xuan knew about the "Gongjihao" matter, Qian Xuan also knew about the Dragon Gang selling tobacco and opening opium halls, and it is true that opium smoking has become popular in all of Beiping, but Qian Xuan never imagined that one day he would be attached to a big opium shop. Yan, took a deep breath and said: "Brother Yubai, let me figure out a solution for this matter. There are so many big smokehouses in the hands of the Dragon Gang, so we don't need this one."

Ju Chang chuckled, moved his body back to make room for Erlang's legs, and teased: "Your reputation as Lord Qian is quite good in Beiping, so the Dragon Gang gave you the face of Lord Qian, and opened the business." If you don’t come today, you will come tomorrow.”

He laughed again: "Who can you turn to? People with pens write articles at most, scolding this, scolding that, they are the ones with knives and guns, there are 70 people in Peiping, and people are dying every day. No one cares if there is one more or one less. , even labor and management dare not provoke them, let alone you."

Qian Xuan was choked suddenly, his face flushed.

He Qi asked naively: "Smoke is harmful to the human body, so no one cares about it?"

This made Ju Zhang laugh again, and asked: "Manage it? How to manage it? Labor and management have a total of thousands of people, and they can manage 70 people? Labor and capital can manage the day, but can they manage the night? Damn, you guys These people don’t do shit, and get such a high salary a month, who pays you? They pay, you ask for money, if you don’t have enough money, you make a fuss, labor and management dare to take care of it?”

Ju Chang's mouth was like a cannonball, and a few questions in a row made Qian Xuan and He Qi completely extinguished, then drank the last glass of wine, shook his head again and again, and sighed: "You people, if you don't know how to talk In foreign language, I can write a few useless articles, I am afraid that I am not as good as a cart puller, a burden bearer, or a beggar.”

Ju Chang scolded, turned around and walked towards the gate. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "You keep this letter first, but the ugly words first, although labor and management owe you a big favor, but one or two is no more than three, so I can do it for myself in the future." .”

He Qi said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Ju Chang snorted, turned around and walked towards the dark door, stood on the threshold, turned his head suddenly, and shouted: "In the past few days, that Dongyi man named Gaobu Daoping is coming to you to play chess. What, you have to work hard, win that shit, and let us vent our anger for the Chinese people."

Immediately, the chrysanthemum long and fat figure disappeared at the door, and the half door was pushed open, and nothing could be seen, but there was a cool breeze pouring in.
