The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 243 Lottery, Smokeless Gunpowder

"Go in!" A young man in his early 20s, covered in wounds, was pushed into Chen Zhengwei's office.

"What the one-eyed guy did has nothing to do with me..." the young man said after seeing Chen Zhengwei.

The last time I visited Chen Zhengwei, I was locked up before I even saw him.

Then a lot of things happened in the past two days. He already knew about it when he was beaten, so he distanced himself from it after coming in.

"What's your name?" Chen Zhengwei sat behind the table, crossed his legs and looked at the other person casually.

"Li Zhongliang, they call me Aliang..." Li Zhongliang said in a low voice.

"I'm giving you two paths now, one is a dead end and the other is a life. Which one do you want to choose?" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Zhongliang immediately became alert.

"Is your sister Zhang Baoshan's concubine?" Chen Zhengwei asked with interest.

Zhang Baoshan is the head of Yixingtang. In fact, Yixingtang was originally the Zhang clan association in Nanyang, which was engaged in the human rights business. Later, it became a hall and a branch of Hongmen.

Later, Zhang Baoshan brought his people across the ocean to San Francisco, which was considered a branch of the Nanyang Yixingtang.

"What are you going to do?" Li Zhongliang's face changed.

"Your sister has taken care of you for so many years, shouldn't you also consider her?" Chen Zhengwei said slowly.

"Zhang Baoshan is dead, I said. What will happen to your sister after he dies? You know the United States. If no one takes care of her, what will happen to a young woman?"

"What do you want me to do?" Li Zhongliang took a deep breath. Although he said the same words, his attitude was completely different.

Chen Zhengwei smiled. He has always been good at persuading others.

"After Zhang Baoshan dies, you gather the people from Yixingtang together! Then work for me! Isn't it easy? You'll have money to spend, minions, status, and you can take care of your sister!"

"I have captured many people from Yixing. There are always people willing to help me. Now I give you a chance."

Chen Zhengwei stared at Li Zhongliang and spoke slowly.

Li Zhongliang only felt a wave of pressure coming at him, his face changing constantly, after a moment he gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you!"

"There is no future following Yixingtang. Just look at San Francisco and you will know. Only by following me can there be a future. I hope you are smarter and don't do any tricks!" Chen Zhengwei said casually.

Then have him taken away.

Then he asked someone to call up several other people who were beaten half to death.

Similar words are used when using both soft and hard tactics on them.

Li Zhongliang only has some status in Yixing because of his sister's relationship, but others may not buy his account.

These people are all Shanyan's subordinates, and they have some abilities.

Let these people go back and convince some people respectively, so as to directly divide Yixing from within, so as to prevent them from being united as one.

After all, Old Silver Mountain is too far away from San Francisco. Even if a group of people are killed and scared, over time, it is inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to call Rong Jiahong and Rong Jiasheng over.

"Brother Wei, are you looking for us?"

"I have something for you to do. Tell me when you've thought it through." Chen Zhengwei said directly.

"Brother Wei, we will do whatever you say."

"I plan to have you take a group of people to the Old Silver Mountain...kill Zhang Baoshan, and then gather Yixing's people. After that, you will stay there, and when the situation stabilizes, I will transfer you back."

"Old Silver Mountain? Such a deserted place..." Rong Jiahong looked bitter when he heard the name of this place.

There wasn't even a good-looking woman in that place.

But he nodded immediately: "Brother Wei arranged it, I'll go!"

Rong Jiasheng also nodded and agreed. Both of them knew that this was an opportunity for them to move up to the top.

"Zhang Baoshan is a small problem! The important things are the sheriff over there and other forces!" said Chen Zhengwei.

In fact, Aaron and Yan Qingyou are the most suitable people for this matter, but San Francisco is more important, and Rong Jiahong and Rong Jiasheng are also smart. They even went to prison for further studies for two months, so we decided to give them a chance.

"Brother Wei, we know what to do. If we can bribe him, we will bribe him. If we can't bribe him, we will replace the sheriff!" Rong Jiasheng said immediately.

They have all watched Chen Zhengwei grow to where he is today, know his style of doing things, and have learned a lot from him.

"So smart? It seems like you two will be fine! I was worried that you two would not be able to do it, and that you would lose your lives, so I was a little hesitant." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Brother Wei, you underestimate us too much. Just leave it to us!" Upon hearing this, the two men immediately patted their chests and said.

"I have arranged a few people from Yixing here. You can take them over. After killing Zhang Baoshan, let them come forward to collect Yixing's men."

"I'll have Schultz send a few people to go with you, and I'll also assign you 50 brave fighters. After you stabilize the situation, see if there are any useful people among the miners and recruit them under your command."

"Also, remember to pull a telegraph line. I'll find someone who knows telegraphs and deliver it to you later!"

Chen Zhengwei gave some instructions and then called Rong Jiacai over, asking him to arrange a group of long and short guns, and to select a group of brave and combat-ready thugs.

He also asked Schultz to arrange a few people to go with them.

It's not like San Francisco over there, so it's more convenient for foreigners to do things there.

After arranging these matters, at noon the next day, Rong Jiahong and Rong Jiasheng took 20,000 US dollars and took a boat to Los Angeles, and from there took a carriage to Old Silver Mountain.

……

Rong Jiacai was in an empty factory, watching his men load boxes of opium into barrels and load them onto a horse-drawn carriage. "Is everything correct?"

"Brother Xiucai, it must be right."

Rong Jiacai nodded and watched as the goods were loaded onto the carts, then twenty carriages rushed to the club.

The transaction took place just outside the club, and no one would come to check anyway, so it was a fair transaction.

At this time, Chen Zhengwei and Jamie Mays were sitting in the bar on the first floor, and there were three suitcases next to Jamie Mays.

The two were chatting casually, and Jamie Mays asked about last night's explosion.

The explosion was heard from several streets away, and Jamie Mays was shocked to think that the club had been bombed.

After all, he has invested a lot of money in the club.

Later he asked someone and found out that the explosion happened more than a hundred meters away from the club.

"A group of daring people came yesterday with explosives tied to their bodies to threaten me! Do they think I was scared?" Chen Zhengwei rolled his eyes and cursed.

"Oh? Who is so brave?" Jamie Mays knew that Chen Zhengwei's people were looking for a group of Chinese people everywhere yesterday.

"They seem to be Chinese from South America, a bunch of country bumpkins!" Chen Zhengwei said casually.

Jamie Mays was moved after hearing this: "What are they going to do?"

"They want to acquire shares in the club! What a fucking fantasy!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

Hearing this, Jamie Mays became even more suspicious.

Especially since the other party was from South America, he couldn't help but think too much, and he suspected that Juan had returned.

As for Juan finding a group of Chinese to act as his subordinates while he hides behind them, it is not impossible.

The other party wants to invest in the club, maybe it's for me.

Jamie Mays's mind was turning over thoughts, but his face did not change at all: "If you need help, just ask!"

"Just a bunch of country bumpkins!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

He said this on purpose just now to make Jamie Mays suspicious, so that if anything happens in the future, he will think that Juan did it.

Seeing the carriages coming outside, Chen Zhengwei said, "The goods are coming!"

"Let your people inspect the goods!"

Jamie Mays tilted his head, and several men not far away went out and came to the back of a carriage and pried open the lid of the wooden barrel with an iron rod.

Each carriage opened a few wooden barrels, and after a moment they made sure that everything was OK before making a gesture towards this side.

Jamie Mays saw this from the window and put the three boxes on the table and opened them, revealing stacks of banknotes inside.

"These are yours!"

Chen Zhengwei picked up a stack of bills and looked at them, then sniffed the ink smell coming from the US dollars: "It's an intoxicating smell!"

"You can enjoy it slowly!" Jamie Mays stood up and held out his hand to Chen Zhengwei. "Happy cooperation!"

"Remember to send the carriage back to me!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

Then he watched Jamie Mays go out, and the group left in a carriage.

"Xiwen, Green and Marco have brought their people here, right?" Green has been training with his people on the farm these days. For this transaction, Chen Zhengwei specially called Green back.

"It's been arranged!" Li Xiwen said on the side.

In addition to the two detectives Green and Marco who brought some people, a number of people were also arranged to watch in the dark at each street corner.

Chen Zhengwei closed the box with a smile, stood up and walked upstairs, while Li Xiwen followed behind him carrying the box.

When he arrived at the office, Chen Zhengwei stuffed the money in the box into the cabinet, then stretched out his hand and deposited 50,000 US dollars into the system.

He had long wanted to know what he could get from the ten-draw series for $50,000.

Funds were tight before, but now I can finally see the world.

After Li Xiwen left, Chen Zhengwei washed his hands first, then picked up three incense sticks, lit them, and bowed to the statue of the Queen of Heaven in the cabinet.

Wanyun came here and brought the statue of the Queen of Heaven with him.

Then Chen Zhengwei sat on the sofa, opened the system and clicked ten times directly.

I saw a faint blue edge light up on one grid, and then a golden edge light up on another grid.

The next two squares glowed white, but unlike the original faint glow, it was as if the light came from within, and then another square lit up with a blue edge.

The smile on Chen Zhengwei's face became brighter and brighter, and he was quite looking forward to it.

If you are satisfied with what you draw, you can give the Queen a pig's head tomorrow.

As the first grid with a blue edge was turned over, Chen Zhengwei saw that there was only a piece of paper inside. He took out the paper with some surprise.

Cellulose + nitric acid... Nitrocellulose... Ether... Alcohol... Diphenylamine...

Looking at the names above, Chen Zhengwei jumped directly to the bottom.

Then I saw four words.

Smokeless gunpowder!
