A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

"You guys poisoned me, hey, Fourth Master, let me go, I..."

Huang Hai wanted to say something, but Long kicked with his four legs and an axe on the ground flew into Huang Hai's neck.

It is Long Si’s good habit to kill first and then talk.

"Huang Hai is dead. Do you want to avenge him? Or stay and help me?"

Long Si looked around and said threateningly.

Huang Hai's former younger brother dropped the axe and stood aside grimly.

"Okay, you guys each do your job, whatever Huang Hai gives you, I can give you more."

The domineering aura of Long Si and Wen Cai's evil magic intimidated these hooligans.

The situation in Shanghai is ever-changing, who is in control?

The surging waters of the Huangpu River remain unchanged, but the heroic leaders change day by day.

Huang Hai died and Long Si came.

Anyone who seeks revenge for a dead person is a fool.

It’s not that there are no loyal people in the Shanghai underworld, but Huang Hai is not a decent person.

In the past, the boss also cheated people out of their money and refused to admit defeat, so there were certainly no loyal people around him.

"Fourth brother, it's safe here, I'm leaving."

Wencai put away the sword in his hand and said goodbye to Long Si.

"Brother Wencai, stay and help me. The Dali Casino is yours."

"Someone is here to help you, come out brother."

Wencai spoke loudly to the door.

A big man wearing a black gown and with a crescent-shaped face, who looked very much like the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appeared outside the door.

"Tenth brother, why are you here?"

"Fourth brother, I want to follow you. I'm late."

Thirteen Generals of the Thousand Gates, the killer Blue Eagle is here.

This man is extremely powerful and loyal to Long Si, and is Long Si's right-hand man in his fight for supremacy in Shanghai.

"Well, you've come just in time."

Long Si said with a smile.

"Fourth brother, see you in the rivers and lakes."

Wencai walked out of the Dali Casino.

.........

For helping Long Si to get revenge successfully, Wencai won 14,000 yuan, plus the money originally given by his master, the total was 15,000 yuan.

Fifteen thousand dollars is an astonishing amount of money.

Huang Hai, a well-known figure in Shanghai and the owner of a casino, could not even take out more than 20,000 yuan at a time.

Lu Zhenhua, the Black Panther, a great warlord in Northeast China, fought many battles throughout his life, but earned only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Fifteen or sixteen thousand yuan is only a dozen percent of the Lu family's wealth, which is definitely considered a wealthy man in Shanghai.

"Shouldn't I buy a small villa and enjoy myself?"

As soon as this thought arose, Wencai dispelled it.

Although Shikumen No. 45 is small, it contains a deeply emotional story.

And Keyun...

Later, there was even Fang Yu...

So, Wencai gave up buying a villa.

"You can store some gold. When war breaks out, the French currency will become less and less valuable, and eventually become useless. In troubled times, everything is fake, except gold. But you can also buy some antiques. As for real estate, if you buy it now, it will be wasted, and it will be divided up in the future..."

Knowing the plot of later generations well, Wencai felt that buying a house was useless.

As times change and the land changes hands, land deeds become useless.

Strength is everything, it’s better to marry the goddess as soon as possible.

Thinking about marrying a goddess, Wencai wondered if Ke Yun counted.

Need to try this...

As I was lost in thought, there was a very light knock on the door, and after that there was no more knock.

It seemed as if the person knocking at the door couldn't make up his mind whether to knock.

Wencai got up, opened the door, and saw Yiping leaving.

It was Yiping who knocked on the door just now, but she only knocked once and then thought about it and left.

"Yiping, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Wencai called Yiping.

"fine……."

Yiping has a stubborn personality, but she hides a lot of things in her heart and sometimes doesn't want to say them.

"You must have something to do. Let me guess, are you going to look for a job?"

"how do you know."

"I am a Maoshu mage, I can tell the future, but I can't predict what you are thinking."

"You really can guess what I'm thinking, you..."

Yiping was very scared, afraid that Wencai could see through her heart.

"Of course, you plan to drop out of school and find a job. Let me do the math. You want to find a job that's a little dangerous. Is that right?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, I want to work as a clerk at the Shanghai Ballroom. I saw in the newspaper that I can earn fifty yuan a month."

Wencai looked down on fifty yuan. He had just earned nearly ten thousand yuan by accompanying Long Si on a trip.

And seven days later, Long Si will give him a casino that will make a fortune every day.

Long Si is a man of his word, and his literary talent is almost like owning a casino.

But for Yiping, these fifty dollars are a huge sum of money that can change her life.

She really wanted to work at the Grand Shanghai Ballroom but didn't dare. After much thought, she decided to find someone to accompany her.

Originally, Adjutant Li was the best choice, but Adjutant Li was busy making a living.

As for the other classmates, Fang Yu is also a girl, and it would be bad if something happened to her and implicated them.

So the only candidate left was Wencai.

In Yiping's mind, Wencai is a powerful character who can even subdue the Black Panther who is feared in the three northeastern provinces.

With Wencai by her side, Yiping is not afraid of anything.

But Yiping had the nerve to save her. After all, she had no relatives or friends, and the debts of favor would have to be repaid one day.

The debt owed to a handsome man should be repaid.

She couldn't pay back the debt she owed to Wencai.

So I knocked on the door, thought about it and left.

"Shanghai, I haven't gotten over it yet. I heard people in the countryside say that if you don't go to Shanghai, it's useless to be a man. Yiping, it's just right for you to take me to see it."

"Mr. Xu, why do you think so? You must not go to such a messy place."

"Let's go. If it's any later, we won't have the job."

Wencai urged.

The Grand Shanghai Ballroom is more than ten miles away from the courtyard. No wonder Adjutant Li, who was deeply in love with Yiping, sent him to work.

Yiping wanted to ride, so Wencai pushed the bicycle out.

The Shanghai song and dance was extraordinary in Yiping's eyes, but just ordinary in Wencai's eyes.

The two entered the dance hall.

Inside the hall, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and not a single ray of sunlight from outside could get in.

The dance hall is very large, with a flashing ball hanging from the ceiling. The flashing ball rotates continuously driven by electricity, making the lights in the dim hall dance.

On the stage, a beautiful woman with bare shoulders and wearing a floor-length red dress was singing.

"Night Shanghai, Night Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps..."

The singing voice is melodious, carrying the decadent and decadent atmosphere unique to old Shanghai.

Behind her, a dozen young girls, full of youth, danced gracefully, kicking their snow-white thighs.

Under the stage, in front of a square table with red wine, an old man in a black robe and glasses was enjoying the show while tasting the red wine.

A song and dance troupe performed for one person, a treatment that only real estate bosses like Brother Pipe could enjoy in later generations.

The old man is called Qin Wuye, the owner of the Grand Shanghai Ballroom.

Although he is not as powerful as Boss Feng of the Green Gang, he is also a well-known figure in Shanghai.

At this time, a girl in a western-style student suit, white shirt and braided pigtails walked in with a resume in her hand.

There was a weirdo with a toilet head following behind her.

Judging from the situation, she was probably a female student who had just entered society and was looking for a job, and her elders were worried about her so they accompanied her.

"Excuse me, is this the Grand Shanghai Ballroom? Is Manager Cai here?"

The girl Yiping ruined the atmosphere, and Master Qin Wu looked up.

A manager in his thirties wearing a black suit immediately stood up and came forward.

Manager Cai looked arrogant as he led Yiping and Wencairen to a corner of the dance hall.

"What's up?"

Manager Cai was a little impatient. It was really blind of him to come at this time and disturb him from watching the Red Peony performance.

"Excuse me, are you applying for a clerk position here? Is the salary really fifty dollars?"

Yiping has a mellow voice and is generous and rude. She is worthy of being the daughter of Black Panther and is not at all shy when meeting people.

"Don't you know what this place is? Are there jobs that pay fifty dollars? How about being a dancer? Are you interested?"

Manager Cai looked Yiping up and down.

The lights in the ballroom were dim, with only flashes of light.

A flash of white light flashed across Yiping's face, and she was instantly glimpsed.

He saw Yiping's face clearly.

She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, young and lovely, dressed simply, but her big, black, bright eyes were radiant.

What a beauty.

If you are willing to be a socialite, you can make many young men spend a lot of money on you.

As a dancer, Ruping was stunned for a moment.

She was an innocent schoolgirl, not an experienced person, so she naturally couldn't understand the secret code in the newspaper.

The newspaper recruited a personal female secretary, but in fact she was keeping a mistress.

Recruiting high-paid female clerks is actually recruiting dancers.

People in society understand these code words, but Yiping, who just graduated from school and started working, really doesn't understand them.

"I think I came to the wrong place. But your young lady's singing is just average, not as good as mine."

Yiping's words were so harsh that Hong Mudan stopped.

Master Qin Wu turned his head and looked at the ignorant little beauty curiously and said, "It's better than my Red Peony's. I want to listen to it."

"I can't sing in a place like this."

Yiping is really a troublemaker. Most people would just leave after an interview if they find the job is not suitable for them, but she just likes to talk too much and cause trouble.

Having said this, Yiping pulled Wencai and was about to leave.

Several bodyguards surrounded them.

Master Qin Wu said he wanted to listen, but it wasn’t so easy to leave.
