Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 228 The Hall of Righteousness is in Turmoil Again

It's time for the monthly Juyitang meeting again.

Liang Kun led Wang Dao, Li Jie, Sha Qiang, A Niu, Wang Jianjun, Yao Wen and others straight to the Hongxing Family Temple.

Coincidentally, they ran into the three Han brothers as soon as they arrived.

"Ah Kun, you're getting more and more pretentious these days," Han Bin teased as soon as they met.

Liang Kun said with a wry smile, "Do you think I want to be surrounded by servants? Ah Dao won't let me go out alone."

"Don't go out alone." Han Bin was startled. "I've heard there's some insider information about you on the black market."

“Yes, Kun, you absolutely cannot go out alone,” both Narrow Eyes and Dinosaur advised.

After a month's absence, Liang Kun "re-emerged" into the underworld, and within just three days, the Yau Tsim Mong power structure was completely reshuffled. More than a dozen small gangs disappeared, and several large gangs were forced to retreat from Yau Tsim Mong.

There are countless people who hate Liang Kun, so it's only natural that he would be targeted with a hidden card.

Liang Kun turned to Wang Dao and asked, "Do you have a secret agent in the martial arts world?"

“I had it yesterday,” Wang Dao replied casually.

Han Bin immediately said, "Brother Kun, now is not the time to show off."

Slim Eyes and Dinosaur chimed in, "Yes, yes!"

"Yesterday? Today?" Liang Kun didn't believe that Wang Dao would receive intelligence and not take action.

Wang Dao looked very relaxed: "That's all for today."

"Impossible, right?" Han Bin was the first to disbelieve it. "Would those guys who hung up the hidden patterns be so kind as to remove them?"

Wang Dao's expression remained relaxed: "No, but the guy who posted the hidden reward has already been dealt with, so it's gone today."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"It's been dealt with?" Han Bin was completely dumbfounded. He waved his hand, and Dao Ziqing immediately called Feng Media to inquire. His face was full of shock.

Han Bin's eyes widened: "It was really dealt with?"

Wang Dao simply smiled.

With his intelligence network at his disposal, he learned about those people's activities as soon as they were placed undercover through daily intelligence reports.

That very evening, the mission was assigned. Li Jie and Wang Jianjun led the team, and with another platoon of skilled men at their disposal, plus accurate intelligence, all those men were utterly defeated.

As for the money from those who posted the secret offer, it all went to Wang Dao.

Liang Kun laughed heartily: "I knew it!"

“Brother Kun, don’t even think about going out alone for a while. Until things calm down, you have to follow Ah Jie’s security arrangements.” Wang Dao knew Liang Kun very well.

Liang Kun's face immediately darkened: "Can't I even be happy for a moment?"

"How about I tell your sister-in-law? Or I tell your aunt?" Wang Daocai wasn't going to tolerate Liang Kun.

Liang Kun's eyes widened: "I'm your boss, can you please stop tattling on me like this?"

Wang Dao didn't even bother with him.

Liang Kun sighed helplessly. He couldn't do anything about Wang Dao. If he dared to lose his temper with Wang Dao today, he would be met with a barrage of interrogations from the two women when he got home.

Faced with this situation, Kun Ge, a well-known figure in the underworld, can only follow his heart.

Han Bin and the others were still in shock. After finally calming down, they looked at Liang Kun and Wang Dao as if they were looking at a god.
"Brother Dao, where did you get this information from?"

“Spend money!” Wang Dao resorted to this tactic again. “As long as the money is there, we can get any kind of intelligence.”

Han Bin stared at Wang Dao with dead fish eyes. If you don't want to talk, then don't. Why use this kind of rhetoric? Do I look like a fool to you?
Those media outlets have been able to exist for so long because of their top-notch reputation. If they could just give away information for a little money, they would have been wiped out countless times by now.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Han Bin realized that there seemed to be no other explanation besides buying information with money.

"Why can't I buy this kind of information?" Han Bin wondered.

Wang Dao almost laughed until his stomach hurt. "You don't have an intelligence system, how are you going to get intelligence?"
Even if you manage to get the information, can you be sure it's true or false?

The information provided by Feng Media may be true or false; you need to judge for yourself.

You can easily fall into a trap.

Liang Kun laughed and said, "Alright, let's not stand at the door like idiots. People who don't know better will think we're doing something."

After saying that, he took the lead and went inside.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

“Ah Kun, come to Saigon for tea, it’s on me.” Brother Kei said enthusiastically.

"Ah Kun, you did a good job, you didn't embarrass me." Brother Long was very proud.

"Ah Kun, you've really brought honor to Hung Hing this time," Brother Xin exclaimed.

While the group of men were talking to Liang Kun, they were also sizing up the people he brought with him. Apart from the acquaintances, they were most concerned about Wang Jianjun, who had made a huge name for himself in Hong Kong in the shortest amount of time, which was terrifying.

Some even say he is more powerful than Hung Hing's God of War, Gan Zitai.

The ranks under Liang Kun's command are truly filled with talented individuals.

Gan Zitai had arrived long ago, and upon seeing Liang Kun, he immediately wiped the stool for him.
"Brother Kun, please have a seat."

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone looked Gan Zitai up and down, some questioning their own existence – was this still the arrogant prince?
However, Gan Zitai did just that, showing no change in expression despite the stares of the crowd.

Just then, Jiang Tianyang led Chen Yao in:

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

Brother Ji immediately grinned and said:

“Mr. Chiang, Ah Kun has been making quite a stir lately. He’s almost unified Yau Tsim Mong. Our Hung Hing’s territory has grown even stronger.”

“We’re all celebrating for Ah Kun.”

Everyone nodded slightly, except for Wang Dao, who squinted at Brother Ji—Bucky is no good guy.

“This is the good news I wanted to tell you.” Jiang Tianyang laughed heartily. “Our triad’s Grand Marshal, Ah Kun, together with triads in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kwai Tsing, Tuen Mun, Kowloon, and other areas, wiped out the influence of Yau Tsim Mong in one fell swoop and reshaped the regional landscape.”

“In Tsim Sha Tsui, Ah Ben of Prince Edward and Tung Hing are evenly matched; in Mong Kok, Ah Kun and Bearded Yung of Yi Zi Tui almost share the territory; in Yau Ma Tei, Sun Luen Shing and Ah Kun almost divide Temple Street and Portland Street.”

“Our Hung Hing occupies a quarter of the territory in the Yau Tsim Mong district.”

"Ah Kun, you deserve a lot of credit!"

Let's cheer for Ah Kun!

Everyone cheered loudly.

The more territory the gang expands, the more money they earn, and the more money the bigwigs get to share. Nobody will be unhappy about that.

However, Wang Dao did notice that someone was unhappy. He didn't make a fuss, but kept it to himself.

Chen Yao sighed:
"With Brother Kun doing this, Hung Hing is now the boss in Yau Tsim Mong."

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"The Ni family is still around; they are the true bosses."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Although what Liang Kun said was somewhat undermining his own prestige, he was telling the truth. Hung Hing was, after all, a traditional triad, while the Ni family, a triad that relied on fans, was the real boss.

Jiang Tianyang chuckled:

"Anyway, this is a good thing."

"Dongxing gave up a lot in exchange for the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui. Causeway Bay got a share, and North Point got a share. These are the forces that have helped us rise."

Bucky exclaimed in astonishment:
"Dongxing can even get a share of the profits from these two places?"

Han Bin sneered:
"In the end, Handsome Nan was protected by Camel; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to assassinate Jiang Sheng."

"Is it okay without bleeding?"

Bucky nodded repeatedly, then thought for a moment and said:
"Shouldn't Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok be handing over their accounts next month?"

He grinned from ear to ear.

"This is a lot of money."

Gan Zitai was furious at that moment:

"Only a few of my establishments in Tsim Sha Tsui were acquired three months ago."

"Next month's payments will only cover those few venues."

"The venue we secured a couple of days ago will have to be paid for three months later; that's our company's rule."

Bucky shook his head:
“That’s not right. Those are all from your Tsim Sha Tsui branch. You haven’t changed branches.”

“Under normal circumstances, when we’re fighting together, we have to pay on time after conquering two streets. There’s no such thing as dragging it out for three months.”

Gan Zitai was so angry that he kept snorting.

In a fight, he could take on three Buckys, but in a verbal argument, Buckys could take on three Gan Zitais.

Everyone could see that something was wrong with Bucky.

In Hung Hing, Baki's persona has always been to speak to people in a way that is appropriate to their situation, and to avoid offending anyone.

Pakistan would never offend a strongman like Gan Zitai, who is known for his explosive fighting skills.

But now, he has jumped out.

Apart from Gan Zitai, who is very straightforward, everyone in Juyitang could see through it.

Jiang Tianyang's smile vanished, and he looked at Brother Ji thoughtfully. What was Brother Ji thinking?
How could he smell the stench of scheming?
Chiang Tin-yeung felt utterly terrible. The ignominious and tragic death of the powerful Chiang Tin-sang forced Chiang Tin-yeung to return from Siam to take control of Hung Hing.

If he dares not to come back, then Hung Hing will change its surname to Li.

The seven-day mourning period for Jiang Tiansheng had just passed. He had finally managed to support Liang Kun in putting on a grand wedding to showcase his achievements. However, before he could even properly boast about it, Bucky had already caused him trouble again.

Is there any chance it can ever get better?!
Gan Zitai was bad at talking and couldn't win against Baji, which made him so angry that he wanted to hit him. So he turned to his sixth uncle, who was about to retire, and said:

"Sixth Uncle, how much is the fine for fighting in the Hall of Righteousness?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Bucky's face twitched, and he looked at Gan Zitai in disbelief. "You big-eyed guy with thick eyebrows, why did you have to imitate Liang Kun?"

Don't mess around!

Uncle Liu beamed and turned to Liang Kun, saying:
"I never thought that I would be able to earn extra money even though I'm about to retire."

Handsome Kun chimed in:
"This shows that you will have good fortune for a long time."

Uncle Liu chuckled:

"Ah Kun, you really know how to talk."

Liang Kun said to Wang Dao:
"Adao, give Uncle Liu a red envelope."

Wang Daoyi took out a large red envelope containing 100,000 yuan.

Uncle Liu accepted it with a broad smile, and said loudly:
"Any act of violence in Juyitang will be subject to a fine of 100,000 yuan!"

"Damn, the fine has gone up again." Liang Kun and Wang Dao exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

"Bucky, you fucking come here!" Gan Zitai sneered. "I won't bully you. Go find some help, I'll take on all three of you!"

Bucky's eyes widened – Are you fucking serious?
You, a guy who calls himself the God of War of Hung Hing, are bullying an old man like me?
Brother Ji is certainly a formidable fighter; he was one of the veterans who fought alongside Jiang Zhen to establish the empire. Back then, fists were the only weapons; if you couldn't fight, you couldn't rise to power.

But things are different now; he has grown old.

If he were to actually fight Gan Zitai, he would be the one to suffer, not anyone else.

Furthermore, those who lose a fight in the Hall of Righteousness don't have a good ending. Just thinking about it... Bucky felt his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, Bucky isn't a little bit of a fighter. Although he's been a bit less effective in recent years, he's honed another skill to perfection: his trash talk!
Baki quickly said to Jiang Tianyang:

"Mr. Jiang, this is the Hall of Righteousness, a place where leaders discuss important matters of the gang. How can you fight like this?"

"What I just said was entirely for the public good!"

"There wasn't a single curse word."

Fearing that simply mentioning Jiang Tianyang wouldn't work on Gan Zitai, he simply brought out another powerful figure.

"Ah Kun, you give your opinion on this principle."

“Oh, why don’t we let Ah Kun give his opinion?” Jiang Tianyang acknowledged that Bucky was good at judging people. After all, it was up to him, the leader of Hung Hing, to make the decisions. Then he heard the rest of Bucky’s words.

Jiang Tianyang was immediately displeased.

What do you mean?
Why did you tell me first and then go to find Liang Kun?
You mean my words don't carry as much weight as Ah Kun's?

The words he wanted to say were immediately swallowed back down.

He glanced at Brother Ji with a half-smile, then said to Handsome Kun with a smile:
"Ah Kun, Brother Ji has called you out, so just tell him your opinion."

Han Bin subtly tugged at Gan Zitai, telling him to calm down. He glanced at Baki with amusement, thinking to himself, "You offended three people with just one sentence; your mouth is really sharp."

Liang Kun shrugs:

“Brother Ji is a veteran of three reigns. If I were to speak, it would be unfair.”

Jiang Tianyang asked curiously:

"Why do you say that?"

"It's obvious what happened. Of the three people in Hung Hing who benefited the most from the big Dragon and Phoenix scandal a couple of days ago, only three actually did."

“One is you, Jiang Sheng, the other is me, Liang Kun, and the last one is the Crown Prince.”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Bucky's expression changed.

Handsome Kun said leisurely:

"The gang's territory has expanded, and the profits for the leaders have increased. This is all thanks to the top leader, and no one can take it away from them."

"Outsiders would only say that our Hung Hing's Chiang Sheng is a capable leader and a qualified head of the company."

Without hesitation, Liang Kun flattered Jiang Tianyang. When it comes to eloquence, Liang Kun is second to none; he honed his skills during his time as a street vendor.

Besides, what he said was true.

"Of course, all of you who are in charge of Fit will also benefit, since the more territory I and the Crown Prince have, the more dividends we will receive."

"But those dividends are nothing compared to the territory we've conquered."

“When people in the martial arts world discuss things, they won’t include you.”

Han Bin immediately said:
“Ah Kun is right.”

However, he was suppressing a laugh.

The three Han brothers also contributed to the grand dragon and phoenix party organized by Liang Kun.

On the surface, they didn't gain any benefits; it was purely voluntary labor.

In reality, through exchanges of interests with Dongxing, Xinliansheng, and Yizidui, they acquired several venues, truly making a fortune in silence!

However, this kind of thing is naturally something that no one else needs to know, otherwise some jealous people will jump out and cause trouble.

Therefore, Han Bin simply echoed Liang Kun's words, effectively sealing off the topic.

Handsome Kun clapped his hands:

"Both the Crown Prince and I are beneficiaries of the existing system, so we naturally side with him."

"Brother Ji asked me to give my evaluation... how am I supposed to answer that?"

Bucky's face turned green.

Liang Kun didn't seem to say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.

The old foxes of Juyitang were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt—why did you have to pick someone like Liang Kun to reason with you? Isn't this like throwing good money after bad?

clap clap!

Liang Kun claps his hands:
"However, since Brother Ji asked this question, we still need to make things clear."

Pakistani Khan came down and wanted to ask Liang Kun to refrain from speaking, but after thinking about it, he forced himself to hold back.

“Brother Kei, I told you, it’s unfair for me to judge this, so I won’t speak up,” said Liang Kun, as if he had seen through Bucky’s thoughts.

Jiang Tianyang secretly laughed out loud. You haven't even said anything yet, and you've already almost slapped Bucky's face repeatedly.

Just as Bucky was about to thank Handsome Kun for his fairness, he suddenly heard the other party say...

"However, Brother Ji is a veteran of three dynasties after all. Since he asked such a question, he naturally wants a clear answer."

"Well then, Adao, you're also a newcomer to the gang, so why don't you tell Brother Ji how powerful it is?"

Bucky wiped away the sweat that had somehow trickled down his face, and felt like slapping himself. "Why did you have to get involved if you had nothing better to do?"
Well, look what happened! They've managed to provoke Wang Dao.

Others may not know the power of the kingly way, but how could this old fox, Brother Ji, not understand it?

The reason why Liang Kun's style of doing things has changed so much is certainly due to his university studies, but the more important reason is the influence of Bai Zhishan.

The hidden influence of the "royal way" is beyond many people's imagination.

Bucky wanted to refuse, but it was Bucky who made the request, and Liang Kun had complied. If he dared to refuse, Jiang Tianyang would sell him out to win over Liang Kun and Gan Zitai.

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"Brother Kee's demands are very simple: no matter how a branch changes, the amount that should be paid must still be paid. Rules are rules."

"The Crown Prince's demands are simple. My previous branch only had a few venues, but now the number of venues has increased ninefold. It's impossible for me to pay ten times the amount, since before it only had one-tenth of the venues. That's not fair."

"Gentlemen, am I understanding correctly?"

Baki and Gan Zitai nodded at the same time.

Wang Dao truly lives up to his reputation as Hung Hing's "white paper fan"—he sees things clearly and grasps their core interests immediately. He truly deserves to be called Liang Kun's right-hand man.

You're really good at focusing on the key points.

"Both of these questions are very pointed."

"Let's talk about the Crown Prince first. He only had three or five venues before, but now he suddenly has thirty or fifty more. He's only been in charge for a few days and hasn't even made any profit yet."

"So you're going to make him pay?"

"Think about it, everyone. We need to arrange several brothers for each venue, and we also need to defend against attacks from other gangs. The cost of people, horses, and all sorts of expenses adds up to an astronomical figure."

“If he has to pay the bill immediately, he won’t get any profit. Instead, he will lose a lot of money, which is unreasonable.”

Gan Zitai nodded repeatedly, a smile spreading across his face—Adao really understands me.

Bucky's expression immediately changed. Wasn't he still siding with Gan Zitai?
However, the kingly way also says:
“Brother Ji has a point.”

"The foundation of a club is its rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If we don't even follow the rules, our club is probably doomed."
