Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Dabao woke up at 3:30 in the morning. Seeing his daughter sleeping soundly with her two little fists raised high, he couldn't help but kiss her. Nuannuan rubbed her little nose and pursed her lips twice, but she didn't wake up at all.

Dabao got up so early because he was preparing to carry out his plan of robbing others by robbing others. After all, all the bills in his hand were gone. The money was not much less, and he still had 100,000 points. But what's the use of having money alone?

He brushed his teeth and washed his face, then changed into casual clothes, which were also military uniforms without collar badges or cap badges.

After packing up, Dabao walked out of the office and knocked on the door of Zuo Mingyue's room next to him. He had agreed yesterday that he would go to Pigeon City to buy national food coupons in the morning and asked Zuo Mingyue to come and look after his daughter.

Han Qianyue no longer lives in the police station, so Zuo Mingyue's room is shared by her and Daya. They are as close as one person.

Zuo Mingyue came out yawning and rubbing her eyes. She leaned in Dabao's arms without even opening her eyes.

Dabao dotingly pinched her little nose, picked her up, put her on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with the quilt. Nuannuan seemed to smell her mother's scent, turned over, and squeezed into her mother's arms.

Zuo Mingyue hugged her daughter tightly, and the mother and daughter fell into a deep sleep.

Dabao kissed everyone on the cheek, then went out and closed the door.

He went down the stairs and Gou Fugui came out of the big office and asked softly, "Director, are you going out?" He was on duty last night.

Dabao nodded and said, "I'm going to Pigeon Market to buy some food coupons for my business trip in a few days."

Gou Fugui ran to the front door and opened the two doors. The doors were open during the day and closed at night.

Dabao started the jeep, put it in gear, gave it a little gas, and the car slid out silently.

When they reached the main street of the commune, Dabao shifted gears and stepped on the gas. The car roared and rushed out.

After about forty minutes, we arrived near the Pigeon Market on the Tianqiao Bridge.

Dabao stopped the car, got out, and seeing that there was no one around, he waved his hand and put the car into the space.

Dabao put on a baseball cap and covered his face with a handkerchief, which is the standard for visiting the black market.

Speaking of Tianqiao, it is the most profound "holy place" in Dabao's memory. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dabao and his parents moved to the city, and he would go to Tianqiao to play when he had nothing to do. In his heart, Tianqiao is the most lively and fun place in the world, without a doubt.

The name of this overpass comes from the white marble bridge next to Longxugou.

During the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven was built here. The emperor would cross this bridge every year during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, so it was called the Tianqiao.

This white marble bridge was usually closed with wooden fences before the Republic of China, and officials and civilians could only walk on the wooden bridges on both sides.

The Qing Dynasty fell and the Republic of China was established. Without the emperor, the wooden fences became useless and were all demolished. People could walk freely, and the overpass became even more lively.

Dabao's favorite is the snacks here. Here at Tianqiao, all the snacks in Beijing are gathered together.

Naturally, many famous old brands emerged.

Dabao likes the douzhi, baodu, jianbao, roubing, tofu pudding, zhagao, and aiwowo snacks on Tianqiao Xiejie Street the most. He never tires of eating them. Unfortunately, after the public-private partnership in 56, these snacks have gradually lost their original flavor, so Dabao no longer comes here.

The black market on Tianqiao is located at the second-hand goods stalls on Fuchang Street.

Dabao walked quickly inside and found scaffoldings everywhere. He then remembered that the renovation of the overpass had begun. In 62, the overpass was banned as a "black market". Since then, the overpass has been deserted with few people and cars, and it no longer has the prosperity of the past.

Fuchang Street No. 6 is an alley about 200 meters long. Originally, there were stalls selling second-hand goods here. Now that individual transactions are not allowed, the stalls have been cancelled.

This place has become the territory of Tianqiao Pigeon City.

The pigeon market on the overpass should be the busiest place among the four major black markets in Beijing. From a distance, under the dim light, countless figures can be seen. At first glance, it seems like the gates of hell have opened.

This is the territory of Little Ear Lian Cuihua, but it is impossible for anyone who runs a black market business to have no official background.

Dabao didn't know who was behind Xiao Erduo, but he thought he must be in a high position, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the police's crackdown. Xiao Erduo was considered a leader in the underworld in Beijing, but he wasn't cleaned up after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The reason behind this is worth careful consideration.

The most likely possibility is that Xiao Erduo once saved the life of a high-ranking official, so he was given protection.

Dabao decided to try it out first. As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw five or six big men standing there with their arms folded and their chests and backs exposed.

Under the dim streetlight, one can see the bulging chest muscles and muscular arms of these men. They are men who can run horses on their arms. Needless to say, these men are probably the apprentices who followed Xiao Erduo to practice wrestling.

At the corner of the alley, a man was sitting on a long bench, chewing on a goat's hoof. Dabao frowned. This bald-headed man was already as tall as an average person when he was sitting. If he stood up, he would definitely be a giant. Dabao knew that this was Lian Hu, the only brother of Lian Cuihua, the little-eared one.

It is said that Lian Hu is two meters tall and has great strength. He can kill a galloping horse with one punch. However, he is a bit stupid. In the whole world, he only listens to Xiao Erduo.

A big man glared at Dabao when he saw him coming, and asked in a low voice: "Buy? Or sell?"

Dabao said in a deep voice: "Buy!"

"Two cents!" This is the entrance fee. Buyers have to pay it, but sellers don't. Two cents is not a small amount. One oil cake is only three cents.

Dabao happily paid two cents and entered the alley. There were people squatting by the walls of the alley, with a piece of cloth spread on the ground. On it were either an egg, indicating that they were selling eggs, or a tuft of chicken feathers, indicating that they were selling live chickens. Some also put a piece of paper with the things they wanted to sell written on it.

But no one is selling grain. What a joke! The cadres’ families can’t even get enough to eat now, so where would they get grain to sell?

Dabao went around and bought 60 eggs for five yuan. This was not cheap at more than nine cents per egg. You should know that they only cost three cents per egg in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Dabao planned to wait until the pigeon market was over, and then he would follow Lianhu, and he would definitely be able to follow him to Xiaoerduo's nest.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he saw dozens of men in black clothes, holding axes, surrounding Fuchang Street.

Dabao hid himself in the corner, and with a flip of his hand, the basket of eggs disappeared. He shook his hands and watched all this quietly with his consciousness.

I saw these men in black, all with a white towel tied around their left arms. They were clearly organized gangsters.

I have heard from old people about this Dabao that Tianqiao was the headquarters of the Beijing underworld. In 26, the Shanghai Green Gang entered Beijing and set up a branch in Beijing. Tianqiao was the location of their branch. The four most powerful bosses in the Beijing underworld at that time were all members of the Green Gang.

They are the four tyrants of the east, west, south and north. During the Republic of China period, these gangsters relied on their own connections to become local tyrants. After becoming tyrants, they killed and set fires, opened casinos, extorted money, and colluded with pseudo-forces to occupy land and shops.

They committed all kinds of evil and acted tyrannically in Peking. These gangsters completely disdained the establishment of the new country. They continued to do what they had to do, and were full of provocation. They even threatened that they had the final say on whether the capital city would be in chaos or not.

Can the new government tolerate them? A group of rats who dare not see the light of day, the government did not let them survive for more than six months, and a major cleanup operation began in the early 50s.

Except for the North Tyrant Lin Wenlong who escaped with his family, the remaining East Tyrant Zhang Xiaoquan, West Tyrant Fu Youde, South Tyrant Sun Yonghao, and their disciples were all wiped out.

Over thirty of the main culprits were executed, and the rest were exiled to labor camps in Heilongjiang to serve their sentences. This echoes the Qing Dynasty saying: "Send to Ningguta." Ningguta was a place for exile in ancient times, but now it has become a tourist destination, which is today's Snow Town...
