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

Chapter 26 The Black Patrolman Comes to Collect Tea Money

Chen Hanlin finally wiped the money dry and walked back to the patrol rest area.

When the captain of the police Zhao Dezhu saw the dejected Chen Hanlin coming back, he stepped forward and scolded him: "Didn't you give me money? You can't even do a small thing. A pretty boy like you should go to a mansion and serve his wife and smoke opium."

Captain Zhao spoke viciously. He didn't curse anyone, but every word he said was hurtful to the core.

"coming soon!"

Chen Hanlin handed the wiped money to Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao was stunned and looked incredulous as he held the money.

"No way, isn't Sihai Casino the place where the gambling god Dragon Four was played in the Republic of China? Why is he so cowardly? People in the underworld say that he has fought all over the three northeastern provinces, and even the gambling king of Shanghai Dong Qishan was killed. A small constable can even accept tea money, it must be this guy's own money."

Today, the Sihai Casino put up a new sign, and this matter is known to everyone in both the black and white worlds.

Putting up a new signboard is equivalent to opening a business and raising the gang’s flag, which is a top-notch event.

According to the old rules, there would be a lion dance, firecrackers and wine served to entertain the black and white people.

The Sihai Casino did nothing but hang up a new sign and resume business.

This must be explained by both the black and white worlds.

How many rules are given by the white police station, and how much peace money is given by the underworld boss Feng.

If you don't say it, you can't pretend to be stupid.

Captain Zhao sent Chen Hanlin to the door just to stir up trouble.

Those who charge for tea are small vendors, those shameless and shameless small businesses.

In a big place like Sihai Casino, the payment rules are monthly and the fee is based on the casino's profit.

But the owner of Sihai Casino gave it to him, which shows that he doesn't understand the rules of the underworld.

"Go and find out what's going on."

Captain Zhao sent a messenger to investigate.

"Bao Ting" is a nickname. Every patrol team has people with bad tempers and smart guys.

After a while, Bao Ta Ting came back.

"Captain, Long Si gave the casino to an old man from the countryside. It seems that Long Si was being hunted down when he first came to Shanghai, and the old man accidentally saved him, and then Long Si gave the casino to him."

“There is such a thing.”

"Really? Long Si even set fire to the house of a boy who didn't respect him."

Bao Gossip has strong professional skills and his words made the captain understand.

"So that's how it is. That means the country old man picked up a treasure, and Long Si gave it to the casino but no one came to bet on it. That means he has made clear his grudges and settled the accounts with his benefactor."

"Settling accounts" is a term used by people in the underworld. If you have a grudge, you should take revenge; if you have a favor, you should return a favor. From now on, everyone's accounts are clear. This is called settling accounts.

Just like what Long Si did to Adjutant Li, the next time they meet they can just have a polite chat and there will be no more entanglement over interests.

There is nothing that can be done by people in the underworld to settle the debt of gratitude.

Once, a man in the underworld received a great favor from an ordinary person, but the ordinary person took the favor back and used the power of the man in the underworld to stir up trouble everywhere. Later, the man in the underworld almost lost his life. Later, the man in the underworld figured it out, broke into the house at night and killed the benefactor with a knife.

The kindness shown by ordinary people must be clearly accounted for, and once repaid, no further entanglement should be made.

Long Si gave the casino to the old country man to show that he had settled his accounts.

For a country guy with no background to own Sihai Casino is still a piece of fat meat.

"Buy a pot of fortune oranges and send it to Sihai. We need to get ahead of Li Yang and eat up this piece of fat meat."

Captain Zhao got into a big trouble when he got excited.

Chen Hanlin said: "Captain, I want to ask for leave."

"Go."

In order to get ten dollars, Chen Hanlin almost risked his life to find out the background of the new owner of the Sihai Casino.

There is a new boss at Sihai Casino, and no one knows his background.

Sending people to cause trouble means holding their heads in your hands, and there is a high risk of death.

If it turns out to be a tough guy, he might lose some limbs or even appear in a sack in the Huangpu River the next day.

Chen Hanlin is handsome and a college student. He joins a patrol team that is full of scoundrels and hooligans. The entire team dislikes him.

This is like a college student in later generations going to a construction site to tie steel bars. Even though he did not cause any trouble, the workers hated him to the core.

If you are handsome, it is a blessing to be surrounded by women, but it is a sin to be surrounded by men.

Women hate beautiful women and men hate handsome men. It's human nature.

Chen Hanlin returned safely, which was considered a meritorious service, so Captain Zhao agreed to his request for leave.

Chen Hanlin successfully asked for leave and left in a hurry.

The patrolmen were all laughing at him for being silly and giving fortune oranges to the rich. Now it was time for the patrolmen to settle their accounts and enjoy themselves.

If things go well, you can make a few hundred dollars and even go to the Paramount to have fun at night.

You would be a fool to leave now!

………………

Wencai stood on the balcony, watching the gamblers below gambling in a frenzy.

"You are still gambling when the country is in crisis, you idiot, lose all your money to me, I will marry the goddess and level up, and I will serve the country in the future and return my country to me."

Wen Cai didn't feel any guilt at all for winning all the money from those scumbags.

"Boss, Captain Zhao from the Patrol Office is here to deliver the lucky oranges."

Xu Bada came to Wencai.

"Giving oranges, what's the saying?"

"What can I say? It's just to cause trouble and ask for money. Boss, you should call the Fourth Master!"

"No, let them go to the Hongzihao VIP lounge on the third floor. There's no need to make tea. They won't have time to drink it."

"Well, it's still..."

"Listen to me and do it."

Xu Bada is gone.

The VIP lounge on the third floor is divided into eight halls, including Tiandi Xuanhuang, Yuzhou Honghuang, and the numbering is based on the order of the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.

In the VIP room of Hongzihao, there is a gambling table with various gambling tools.

More than thirty policemen were in uniform, each with a revolver at their waist and murderous eyes.

Captain Zhao slammed the casino and said angrily: "Country people really don't know the rules. They don't even have tea."

He clapped his hands with such force that the branches and leaves of the fortune orange tree on the table were shaken.

"I'm Xu Wencai, the owner of Sihai Casino. Thank you for the fortune oranges. I've accepted them. Come on, give each of them a red envelope."

Wencai walked slowly into the Hongzihao VIP lounge.

An attendant came in holding a stack of red envelopes.

"This guy is quite sensible."

Captain Zhao thought to himself.

The policeman who was full of murderous intent just now gave each person a red envelope. The redness in his eyes disappeared and he became a little more polite.

Captain Zhao pinched the red envelope and found it was very thin. He couldn't help but feel happy.

People give red envelopes on occasion, the thinner the red envelope, the more money you get.

If it is a thick stack, it must be RMB 20. If it is a single piece, it must be at least ten yuan.

Captain Zhao put the red envelope in his arms with a smile. He was scared and gave the money before he even asked for it. He was still a coward. He asked for a 50% profit as the starting price.

"Nong Ce, what are you doing? You only have one cent. You look down on grandpa!"

The policeman got angry and threw the red envelope at Wencai's face.

Wencai dodged the red envelope.

Captain Zhao is the leader of a team. He is a very polite person and it is not rude to give red envelopes in person.

The little patrolmen below don't care about all this and just open the red envelopes.

When I opened it, I found that there was no green at all, but a yellowish one-cent bill.

From his nickname of "Fiery Temper", we can see how impulsive he is. He threw the red envelope out without even noticing the captain's signal.

People with hot temper, impulsiveness and rudeness are very useful in a team. When there are things that are too embarrassing to do, these people will take the lead.

"Alas, Lao Huo, you must not be rude."

Captain Zhao yelled at Huo Zhique, then politely said to Wencai: "Boss Xu, are you mistaken? Is someone under you causing trouble? If so, you speak and I will take care of the people under you."

It is common for employees of the old employer to become dissatisfied when a new boss takes office and secretly give the new boss a penny in red envelopes to harm him.

He has seen the paper for the underworld.

"I stuffed this money in myself, so it can't be wrong. You are worth this price. I will use this money to buy you some meat buns to fill your stomach."

Wencai also spoke politely.

Captain Zhao almost fainted when he heard what Roubaozi and the other two said.

People in the underworld should never give meat buns as a gift. Meat buns are like hitting a dog. Giving meat buns contains a hidden message.

"Brothers, I suspect there is opium here. Go down and search for me. If you can't find it in one day, search for two days. If you can't find it in two days, search for three days. We are on the government payroll, so we have plenty of time to search."

Captain Zhao pulled up his hat, took out his gun, pointed it at Wencai and yelled.

"Yes, I obey your orders. Search for opium, search!"

The Republic of China did not give up pornography and gambling, but it hated opium to the core.

Two months ago, the President issued a strict crackdown order of "two years of drug prohibition and six years of smoking prohibition". Now the whole family is united in the fight against drugs.

In Shanghai, killing someone might be settled by paying money, but if you dared to touch opium, you would be sentenced to death.

Captain Zhao said there was opium, which meant he was planning to destroy the Sihai Casino.

"Captain Zhao has misunderstood. You have been poisoned. Only meat buns can cure you. I mean well."

Wencai suddenly said something inexplicable.

Captain Zhao was furious: "Take this man back first. I suspect he is hiding opium in his stomach just like Du Xiaowu."

"I really mean well, don't you feel a stomachache?"

Several patrolmen came over, and the hot-tempered leader took out his silver bracelet first.

“Ouch, that hurts!”

With a scream, Huo Liangge didn't put the silver bracelet on Wen, and he fell down holding his stomach.
