The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 638: Harmony Chart

"After this is done, you will get two thousand taels of silver! In addition, I can arrange a job as a constable for you in the Xin'an County Government." Lord Wu stretched out two fingers and said slowly.

When the two heard this, their hearts suddenly became hot.

Two thousand taels of silver is certainly a lot of money, and he can be employed as a constable in the government office of Xin'an County. Although it is not a high-ranking official, he will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.

The vast area of Kowloon North and the northern part of Hong Kong belongs to Xin'an County.

Although they will not be able to control the streets in southern Kowloon at that time, they will be in charge of the streets north of Boundary Street.

"Sir, you are willing to pay such a high price. Who is this Chen Fenglu? I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." The gentleman had more thoughts in mind and was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he asked.

Lord Wu glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about his background, just capture him and hand him over to me. You are the local bosses here, you can't be unable to do such a small thing, right?"

Yuan Tuotuo slammed the table and said, "Why are you thinking about this and that? If anyone could capture us, Lord Wu wouldn't have found you and me. Isn't it because we have a group of brothers under us?"

"Get on the horse to fight for wealth and gain, and risk your life for a better future. I'll take this job!"

"As long as we know the enemy's travel route, we can find a chance to put them in a sack and carry them away!"

The master knew this and bowed: "I will follow your instructions. I just hope you won't forget us after the matter is accomplished."

"Don't worry! Several thousand taels of silver are not worth much in my master's eyes. My master doesn't have to ask for the job of the head constable, someone will naturally do it. If you do a good job and get my master's appreciation, there may be other benefits." Lord Wu said with a smile.

"Once you catch someone, take him across Boundary Street to the Tongfu Inn. I'll arrange for someone to wait for you two there."

"Just do as your Excellency orders." The two men stood up and responded.

He then left the teahouse and took his men to another place to discuss.

So he decided to send someone to keep an eye on the trading company first, and kidnap the person when he found an opportunity in the next few days.

Even the two of them drank tea in a teahouse near the trading company every day, ready to take action at any time.

However, any disturbance here cannot be hidden from the local tyrants.

Blind Zhong had relied on Chen Fenglu to rescue Shorty Zhou before, and he didn’t know how to repay him, so he left someone to watch over the trading company.

If anyone is so blind as to cause trouble, he will step forward to resolve the matter.

Judging from Chen Fenglu and other people from the trading company, these people are not people that the ruffians can afford to mess with.

But it's good to help the other party reduce some trouble.

A few days later, the henchman found Blind Zhong in the bonesetter's clinic.

"Brother Zhong, something is wrong. These past two days, Xianshengduo and Yuan Tuotuo have been bringing people to watch near the trading company every day. It seems that they have set their sights on Boss Chen."

"Are they targeting the trading company?" Blind Zhong first asked his men, as there were quite a few shops nearby.

"They have several people watching near the trading company. The location they are looking at must be correct."

"And they have been staying at the nearby teahouse with their people for three days in a row!"

"Do you know what the reason is?" Blind Zhong asked.

The man naturally didn't know the reason.

Blind Zhong said: "Tell someone to go with me."

More than half an hour later, Blind Zhong brought a dozen people to a teahouse near the trading company.

"Shengsong Duo and Yuan Tuotuo are upstairs." Ma Zai said to Blind Zhong.

Blind Zhong nodded and took his people upstairs, where he saw that Xiansheng Duo and Yuan Tuotuo had brought more than 20 people and had seated at several tables, all of which were near the windows.

"Why is it so lively? You don't have to work, just drink tea here every day?" Blind Zhong said with a smile.

Normally his eyes are just slits, and when he smiles his eyes are even less visible.

"Blind Zhong, what are you doing here? We are having tea here, it has nothing to do with you, right?" Yuan Tuotuo said after looking at Blind Zhong.

"You can come here to have tea, but I can't?" Blind Zhong walked to the table where Yuan Tuotuo and Xianshengduo were sitting, pulled aside a two-person servant, and said casually, "This is the table for the adults to sit at!"

Then sit down at the table.

"You two come here every day, what good business do you have?"

"You also interfere in chatting, Blind Zhong? Since when did Kowloon become your responsibility?" Yuan Tuotuo sneered.

"Of course I have no right to interfere with your conversation, but if you two have any plans, I can't just ignore it," said Blind Zhong.

"Blind Zhong, what do you mean?" Xiansheng Duo and Yuan Tuotuo were both startled. The man hasn't been caught yet, but the news has already spread?

"I'll be frank with you. I don't care what you two do, but stay away from that California International Trading Company!" Blind Zhong said straight to the point.

"Blind loyalty, what do you mean?" Yuan Tuotuo slammed the table. He really thought that the news had spread.

"You are watching here every day. My name is Blind Zhong, but I am not really blind! I owe a favor to that Boss Chen. You can't target them no matter who you are targeting."

"Besides, this is for your own good. You can't afford to offend that person."

It was only then that Yuan Tuotuo and Xiansheng Duo realized that it was not that the news had leaked out, but that the two of them had brought people here to keep an eye on the situation and had been noticed by Blind Zhong.

"Blind Zhong, you misunderstood. We have no intention of causing trouble for the California International Trading Company. But when you said that, I became a little curious. What do you mean by we can't afford to offend them?" the gentleman asked with a smile.

"They are fierce dragons, even the British have to give them some face. You two local snakes, don't make trouble for yourselves." Blind Zhong warned.

"No matter what your purpose is, I have said what I need to say. If you really do something, don't blame me for being blindly loyal and turning my back on you."

When Yuan Tuotuo heard this, he slammed the table and wanted to speak.

Xianshengduo kicked him under the table and Yuan Tuotuo finally stopped talking.

Xiansheng Duo smiled and said, "Since you, Blind Zhong, have spoken, we will definitely give you face. Don't worry, we will definitely not have any plans to attack them!"

Blind Zhong glanced at the two men's faces and thought they were a little strange. Yuan Tuotuo was not a man with a good temper. He was about to get angry, but suddenly he restrained himself.

After thinking for a while, I got nothing.

Anyway, he has said what he needs to say.

If these two people really don't give up and dare to cause trouble for the trading company, I'm afraid they will be met with failure and I will have to step in myself then.

"That's the best. I won't disturb you two from having tea!" Blind Zhong stood up and led his people away.

When Blind Zhong came downstairs, Yuan Tuotuo spat on the ground angrily: "Pooh!"

"Wait until we accomplish our mission and become the head of the police force. Then we'll see how we deal with him!"

"Blind Zhong has taken people to the trading company!" The man stood at the window and watched for a while before greeting Mr. Duo and Yuan Tuotuo.

The two men leaned over the window and saw several of Blind Zhong's men standing outside the trading company.

"Blind loyalty... Damn it, they must be on guard now." Yuan Tuotuo said angrily. "It's hard to say, they don't know our purpose." Xianshengduo said. "We have observed almost everything in the past two days. The boss of the trading company lives one street away. We will wait for him on the road at night."

They also found that some people in the trading company looked fierce and were not good people at first glance.

But they were not worried, as they both had one head and two arms, and they had hundreds of people under their command.

Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress these local snakes.

What's more, it is unintentional.

As long as they find an opportunity, they can capture the people and run away. Once they cross the Boundary Street, who can do anything to them?
……

Not far away, at California International Trade Company.

Blind Zhongzheng said to Chen Fenglu, "Boss Chen, Yuan Tuotuo and Xianshengduo have been keeping watch nearby lately. I suspect they have set their sights on you. I just went to warn them, but I'm afraid they won't give up."

"If there is anything, Boss Chen can ask someone to go to the bone-setting clinic to find me."

Chen Fenglu called someone over and whispered a few words to him. After the person left, he smiled and said to Blind Zhong, "This is a small matter."

He had asked people to inquire about the local bosses in Hong Kong a long time ago. These people have dozens of subordinates, with the least being 20 to 30 and the most being 70 to 80, and they barely survive by sticking together.

He also knew that this gentleman was very close to Yuan Tuotuo.

"That's what we talked about last time. Do you have any plans?" Chen Fenglu picked up the teacup beside him and said while drinking.

Blind Zhong also took the tea from the maid, said thank you, and then smiled bitterly: "If we had that ability, we wouldn't live such a miserable life."

"I just brought a group of brothers to help each other and find a way to survive."

"It's hard to survive!" Chen Fenglu said slowly. "How can it be so easy to survive in this world? It's even harder to survive in this British territory! Counting on the British to be kind? It's better to expect a sow to climb a tree."

"If you really want to survive, how can you get enough people like this? If you can gather all the Chinese here and I can help you, the British will look up to you and improve your treatment. Then the Chinese will remember your kindness."

"What do you mean?" Blind Zhong suddenly became curious.

"Trade union...have you heard of it?" Chen Fenglu asked with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then Blind Zhong said goodbye and left thoughtfully.

More than half an hour after Blind Zhong left, someone came in from outside.

"We are being targeted."

"In this British territory, most people won't keep an eye on us. Those local tyrants won't easily provoke a river dragon. Those who can eat this bite of rice have very bright eyes. They know who to provoke and who not to give in to. " Chen Fenglu said:
"Someone must have ordered them."

"It's probably someone from the Qing court who's behind this."

"Find an opportunity to lure them out in the next two days, catch them, and ask where the person who ordered them is."

"If they want to do something on the British territory, they have to ask the British for their consent!"

……

Blind Zhong was thinking all the way back to the bone-setting clinic. He was thinking about what Chen Fenglu had said about the trade union.

In fact, he had already thought about talking to other people and working together so that they could negotiate with the British and fight for better treatment.

Chen Fenglu's words today made his thoughts clearer.

Especially the union's charter, which was much more complete than he had thought before.

Not long after returning to the bone-setting clinic, his mother said, "Your uncle will come over tonight, and you can go buy some things later."

Blind Zhong agreed immediately
His uncle is a sailor in Southeast Asia and only comes back a few times a year.

In the evening, Blind Zhong's uncle came over, and while the family was having dinner, his uncle casually talked about some things in Southeast Asia.

"We may move to North America next year. I heard that the Chinese are doing well in North America, and many businessmen in Southeast Asia are interested in moving there."

"North America? It's so far away!" Blind Zhong's mother asked casually.

"Yes, it takes half a year to go back and forth. It will be difficult to come back after that!"

"But the Chinese over there can hold their own, they are not bullied, and they have a lot of money. It is said that Chen Lao Hu over there even has a warship!"

Hearing this, Blind Zhong suddenly had an idea and asked, "Uncle, do you know of an international trading company in California?"

"I haven't heard of it. Why?"

"Nothing, they seem to be very important. The shopkeeper's surname is also Chen. When you mentioned Chen Lao Hu, I suddenly remembered him."

"Could it be Chen Lao Hu's business? That Chen Lao Hu is in California! No matter whether it is or not, don't mess with them!" Blind Loyal's uncle thought for a while and said.

"Who is that Chen Lao Hu?" Blind Zhong's mother asked curiously.

"That one is so powerful, he's a big tiger! He's running rampant in North America, he has warships and an army of tens of thousands!" Speaking of this, Blind Loyalty's uncle immediately became excited.

"It is said that this man was also a piglet, and was sold to California. The status of Chinese people there is not high..."

"You just said that the Chinese over there have a high status and are not bullied!" said the blind loyal mother.

"Listen to me! When he went there, the Chinese didn't have a high status, and then he annexed the social organizations there. If that were the case, it wouldn't be a big deal... But after he annexed the other organizations, he set his sights on those foreigners, and later fought several battles with the Americans, all the way to Washington, and signed a treaty!"

"Since then, no one dares to bully the Chinese. As long as this Chen Lao Hu survives, the Chinese over there will have an easier life."

"He doesn't bully the Chinese? Those societies only bully their own people." Blind Zhong's mother said unhappily.

"He doesn't care about the little things the Chinese have. Do you know how much compensation the United States paid him after losing the war? 6000 million silver dollars! I heard that he also attacked Cuba a while ago and robbed many plantations there!"

"This is so impressive!" Blind Zhong's uncle looked envious.

Blind Zhong was also fascinated by what he heard.

This is so impressive!

After dinner, he and his uncle asked about overseas trade unions.

His uncle didn't know much about this and only heard some things from hearsay.

However, Blind Zhong's thoughts became clearer.

After returning to the room, Blind Zhong lay on the bed unable to sleep, his mind filled with thoughts about the union.

He planned to gather other gang leaders in Hong Kong, and then unite those Hong Kong workers into a group. With more people and stronger strength, he could then use this to negotiate terms with the foreigners.

He even thought of a name.

Harmony picture.

Peace, unity and great ambitions.
