Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

A suburb, junction, and urban village in Tianjin.

Due to historical reasons, this not-so-large area is now inhabited by all kinds of poor people.

All kinds of randomly built wooden houses, iron houses, and brick houses filled the area in a disorderly and chaotic manner.

These randomly built buildings are like a maze.

People who are not familiar with the terrain will really get lost once they enter.

The people living here are all poor, people from all walks of life, and some who have fled and have no place to stay.

Either they are excessive at the moment, or they are people who have committed a crime.

In an area the size of fifty football fields, there are nearly 20,000 buildings of various kinds.

There were no fewer than 70,000 people packed inside.

There is an old saying in Tianjin: Nine rivers go down to Tianjin, there are three floating bridges and two checkpoints, people don’t ask about livelihood, housing or wages.

It reflects the survival rules of the Tianjin area at that time.

In ancient times, there were nine rivers in the Tianjin area, which have different names in history, but mainly refer to the Haihe River and its tributaries.

The nine rivers that flow through Tianjin and into the sea are called the Qing, Qi, Zhang, Huan, Fenyi, Lai, Ru, Gu and Hutuo Rivers.

These nine rivers are distributed throughout various areas of Tianjin.

Residential areas in different areas have also been formed.

Each area represents people of different levels of identity.

So in Tianjin, as long as someone asks you where you live, they will immediately know your level.

The three floating bridges are the Xigu and Chaoguan floating bridges built during the Kangxi period, and the Yanguan floating bridge built during the Yongzheng period.

Originally, these three floating bridges were designed to facilitate pedestrian traffic.

Later it evolved into that if you have ambitions and want to be a big shot, you must pass three hurdles in Tianjin. If you pass them, you will be the boss, but if you fail, sinking into the sea to feed the fish is no big deal.

The two passes refer to the Money Pass and the Salt Pass.

These two places were important tax departments of the government at that time.

Anyone who does business will inevitably have to deal with these two departments.

If you are a big shot, you can pass three levels of the dark forces on the floating bridge.

What awaits you then will be official forces that will extort, threaten and intimidate you. If you fail to handle any of them well, your previous power may be reduced to ashes in an instant.

If you can pass this, congratulations~

In this area of ​​Tianjin, you are the real boss, no matter the dark forces or the officials.

They will give you some face.

No questions about livelihood, residence, or income.

Because those who come to Tianjin to make a living may be a person of the lowest class today, but may become a superior person tomorrow.

Because Tianjin has various gray industries and dark forces, generally speaking, no one is willing to reveal their residence in order to avoid trouble.

Various murders have occurred in this slum in the past two days.

For a while, the residents here were in a panic.

There is a feeling that everyone is in danger.

Wang Haoxuan has been living in this small wooden house of less than ten square meters during this period.

Because he has been in a state of high alert during this period.

So he became very nervous.

Lying on the bed, he thought that nothing would happen sooner or later, but yet several murders happened one after another.

Although the slums are not safe and fights happen from time to time, there is also a unique balance of power and rules of survival here.

When those thugs fight for territory, they are very measured in their actions and will not kill people and attract the attention of the police.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong and that this place was unsafe.

Then he lay down on the plank bed, muttering to himself.

"Dad, I will definitely avenge you. I will make the Li family live in unrest."

"I want to return all the humiliation I have suffered to the Li family."

In the former British Concession, in the Luo family mansion, this time only the young master of the Luo family was talking to the servants.

"I asked you to check on the person from the Li family. Have you got any news?"

The Luo family's servant, standing beside the sofa, replied respectfully.

"Return to the young master."

"All the subordinates of the Li family have been doing fine these past few days, and have not had any contact with outsiders."

The Luo family servant thought for a moment and said.

"Young Master, are we looking in the wrong direction?"

"I think it's impossible for the Li family to come to Tianjin so blatantly at this moment."

"I think the Li family has already arrived in Tianjin, and I don't know where they are hiding."

The young master of the Luo family sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, thought for a moment, and said happily.

"It seems that the person coming from the Li family this time is not an ordinary person."

"He's not willing to hide?"

"Go and use Wang Haoxuan for me and make some noise."

"At the same time, please check if there are any spies from the Li family around our house~"

Speaking of this, the young master of the Luo family inadvertently slapped his thigh, thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Let our official forces also take action~"

It was the third day since Li Zihang arrived in Tianjin.

At this moment, he was multitasking and not thinking about dealing with the Luo family.

Instead, they arranged for the tombs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Li Zihang said to Hu Yi.

"Have all the equipment arrived?"

Hu Yi, who was in his forties, simply nodded and indicated that the equipment had been transported to the destination.

However, after hesitating for a while, Hu Yi still told everyone about the accident that happened during the transportation of equipment.

"Master, our batch of equipment can only be used once."

"After using them, those things no longer belong to our family."

Li Zi looked at Hu Yi with a puzzled look.

Those equipments were bought by his family from the oligarchs of the Bear Country at a huge price.

Not to mention the money spent, just the favor alone will have to be repaid in the future.

In order to transport the equipment back to the country, he even greeted the two people in the army with the jade pendant.

At this point, Hu Yi said that these equipments were disposable.

Who can bear this?

Li Zihang looked at Hu Yi and asked him why.

"Those equipment were originally transported back in good condition."

"Later, when we passed through a certain area, we were stopped by the local garrison."

"The one in our army can only negotiate with the superiors and say that after the things are used up, they will be donated to the country free of charge."

After listening to this, Li Zihang felt a little pain in his heart.

When others rob tombs, they only use a few people and a few ropes.

A few Luoyang shovels and at most a few guns.

At most, you can add a Feng Shui master or a professional tomb raider.

He went to the tomb with a helicopter, an address detector, and a high-tech bionic spider all-terrain armored vehicle.

Instant freezing spray, flamethrower, individual combat rocket launcher.

Special biological insecticides and high-tech safety nets.

Oxygen cylinders and high-tech individual combat protective clothing.

Night vision goggles, grenades, detonators, rifles.

Capture net, high-tech rock climber, special material ladder, small vibration, mechanism trigger.

Others use Feng Shui and Bagua when robbing tombs, a skill passed down from their ancestors.

He relied on high technology and his own professional underground workers to rob tombs.

It’s clear who is strong and who is weak.

Li Zihang's tomb-robbing behavior is more like the way the Rabbit Family and the army play.

When you are in a desperate situation, you can use human wave tactics and tactical interspersion.

If you are rich, you will have firepower coverage.

Li Zihang said after sighing.

"Next time, don't make such a big fuss and concentrate on transporting equipment."

"I'm sure I'll use those things often in the future."

"Send a message to those people in the Bear Country and Hong Kong, asking them to buy another batch of equipment slowly over several months."

"Ah~"

"Forget it, let's talk about it. What's going on with the Luo family?"

Hu Yi said he understood and then answered Li Zihang’s question.

"The Luo family is starting to make trouble."

"They, the officials, looked confident and started contacting people. They were ready to deal with our family~"

After hearing this, Li Zihang thought for a while and said.

"If they really wanted to get the notes, they would never make trouble at this moment."

"Not even a big deal."

"If they really got the notebook, who would show it? Isn't this deliberately letting the opponent prepare~"

"If the Luo family really has that evidence, they will definitely lurk in the dark like a venomous snake and wait until the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow."

Li Zihang paused for a while, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Don't pay too much attention to the Luo family officials. Just do the same as the past two days."

"And those who are monitoring the Luo family should be more careful."

"I think the Luo family has definitely guessed our arrival."

"Also, what's going on in the slums of Tianjin?"

"Wang Haoxuan, has his figure appeared?"
