When I said these words, I saw a sharp murderous intent appear on Shahu's face! His pair of eyeballs stared at me, and then he gritted his teeth, and finally he almost uttered a few words: "It's you... It's you! It's you!"
That look is like a sharp sword, almost trying to pierce me through! At the same time, his big hands were clenched tightly into fists!
The scene suddenly cooled down! Even the people sitting next to Shahu couldn't help but quietly moved to the sides...
I stared at Shahu without any hesitation, and the two of us just stared at each other.
At this time Ba Ye suddenly spoke, and he said lightly: "Sha Hu, don't you want to gamble with your life? We will gamble with you in the big circle! If Xiao Wu loses, naturally I will give you my life." Having said that, Ba Grandpa glanced at me and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu, do you dare?"
"Of course I dare!" I said proudly.
"Okay." There was a gleam of gleam in Ba Ye's eyes, and then he glanced at Sha Hu: "Mr. Sha, Xiao Wu lost, and his life is yours! At the same time, the share that we gave up this time, except For everyone present, I will propose another copy, and give it to you Luo Family Clan Association alone!" When he said this, he obviously paused on purpose.
Sure enough, the bosses of the various gangs present, no matter young or old, all showed a bit of coveting expression! Obviously, the cake this time is really big, even the small portion that Ba Ye declared that he is willing to give up, the estimated value is quite expensive!
Ba Ye took everyone's expression changes into his eyes one by one, and then looked at Sha Hu: "Mr. Sha, if Xiao Wu loses, we will naturally fulfill our promise! But what I want to ask is... if you lose, will you win?" Apart from surrendering one life, what will your Luo family give us as compensation?"
Shahu raised his eyebrows, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Okay! Fang Bazhi! Tell me, how do you want to bet!"
I saw a chill inadvertently flashed in Ba Ye's eyes... My heart skipped a beat.
I know that Ba Ye only has eight fingers, so his nickname is "Fang Bazhi". In fact, he has always been very displeased with this nickname, unless he occasionally laughs at himself, otherwise, who would dare to shout in front of him? He said "Fang Eight Fingers"? This kind of name obviously mocks the physical defects of Ba Ye... If anyone dares to mention it in front of him now, it will be courting death!
With his current status, no matter who it is, don't they all have to address him as "Fang Ba Ye" in front of him
However, this Shahu yelled "Fang Bazhi" one by one, and I already felt that Master Ba really wanted to kill him in his heart!
"Sand Tiger." Ba Ye's tone was still very calm, but one of the auras has been revealed! Ba Ye slowly said in a deep voice: "I don't want much... If you lose, your Shahu's life will naturally be gone... Also, your Luo Family Clan Association will be removed from Vancouver from now on! From the day you died, your Luo family members must withdraw from Vancouver Chinatown! You must not appear in Canada from now on! Your current sites, stalls, venues, we don’t want any of them! Take them all out and give them to everyone here It's over!" Ba Ye's voice became deeper and deeper, like a reminder song! His eyes flickered, he stared at Sha Hu coldly, paused every word, and said slowly: "Sha Hu...do you dare to bet!"
Shahu's forehead was already covered with sweat, but he seemed to be very fierce. He hesitated for a moment, with a look of determination in his eyes, and shouted: "Okay! Fang Bazhi, I'll listen to you! If I lose, I will Your life is yours, without Lao Tzu, the Luo Family Clan Association will also be disbanded! If you lose, you will have to take out an extra share of the benefits this time!"
The leading figures of the Huabang around, everyone has complicated eyes in their eyes... I carefully noticed that not everyone seems to be worried about Shahu... Although from their standpoint, they should be on the side of Shahu On one side... But this kind of gamble seems to be harmless to them...
If Shahu wins, it will certainly be a good thing for the entire traditional Huabang. Can…
If Shahu dies, they will divide up the territory of the Luo Family Clan Association... If Eighth Master let him go on this occasion, he will naturally not regret it!
In this way, it seems that this gamble, no matter whether they win or lose, is of great benefit to them. Who would object to such a thing
But I was sneering in my heart: No wonder these local traditional Chinese gangs have a large number of people, but they have been shy away from the Vietnamese gang and other gangs for so many years... These guys are simply a mess! Otherwise, with the influence of so many traditional Chinese gangs in Chinatown, if they can unite, advance and retreat together, and work together... Hmph, then how could the Chinese gang be bullied so badly by those Vietnamese in all these years in Canada?
If it hadn't been for twenty years ago, when a big circle entered North America, the Chinese gangs in North America would still be in a state of being bullied.
Now, Shahu made it clear that he was with them, but when he saw Shahu betting his life against us, no one stood up... On the contrary, looking at their eyes, they seemed to be calculating. How much benefit can they get from this gamble...
No wonder... Ba Ye and I calculated the competitors in the big circle last time, from Vietnamese gangs to Indians, to Iranians, and then to these local traditional Chinese gangs... Ba Ye said that these local traditional Chinese gangs, In fact, there is nothing to worry about!
On the spot, Eighth Master called Tiger to come in, and then prepared a life-and-death contract in front of everyone! In fact, this kind of contract cannot be recognized by law at all... But in the underground world, there are completely different rules from the real world! With this life-and-death contract, at least we can say that no matter who wins or loses in our bet, neither party will pursue revenge afterwards!
In front of the leaders of many Chinese associations and gangs, Sha Hu and I stared at each other like a pair of enemies, and then quickly pressed our fingerprints on the contract.
On our side, Ba Ye is naturally the witness, but what is intriguing is that on their side, no one is willing to stand up as the witness of Shahu... It seems that these guys are well versed in the way to protect themselves and are unwilling to stand in public. On the side of Shahu, he confronted Daquan head-on.
In the end, this group of old guys still pretended to recommend each other, and only "recommended" one or two "highly respected" uncles to stand up. But looking at the expressions of the two old gentlemen, it seemed that there was some reluctance hidden.
There was a hint of ridicule flashing calmly in Ba Ye's eyes, but I said nothing, just pressed my fingerprints, and retreated behind Ba Ye.
…
It should be said that the negotiation was quite successful this time. At least most of the local Chinese gangs were frightened by the previous large-scale conflict, and they were basically subdued, except for the stunned young man Shahu , no one dared to jump out again.
Ba Ye personally sent everyone out of the house, and I saw the police car on the corner of the street from a distance, and someone was secretly taking pictures with a camera inside. For this point, Eighth Master naturally saw it long ago, but he didn't care at all, he just smiled slightly.
"Baye...those policemen." I whispered.
Ba Ye smiled, and said softly, "Don't worry about them, they're just some scumbags."
Back in Ba Ye's room, Ba Ye was still sitting on his chair, this time he didn't speak, and didn't let me sit down, but looked at me deeply, and said slowly Words: "Xiao Wu, you are a little impulsive today."
I looked at Ba Ye. From his tone, I couldn't tell whether he was angry or happy, so I just said frankly: "I don't understand what you mean."
"You are a little impulsive. However, in my opinion, your impulsiveness is also very good. At least under certain circumstances, impulsiveness is also a proof of courage." He smiled, and then slowly took out a pipe, Slowly added some shredded tobacco, lit it, and took a deep breath. He used his left hand, and the only three fingers in his left hand were holding the handle of the cigarette end. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and looked at me, and said lightly: "You It is a good thing to dare to stand up and defend our big circle. But are you sure to kill that sand tiger?"
I thought about it and said slowly, "I don't know."
"Oh? You don't know?"
"I really don't know." I nodded, "That sand tiger seems to have been practiced, and his skills should be good... I haven't fought him before, so I don't know if I can beat him... But I only know one thing. In today's scene, I must Stand up. Otherwise, people will look down on us!"
"Very good." Ba Ye sighed, his eyes were a little complicated, and after a faint sigh, he said slowly: "After we were able to land in North America in the big circle, we immediately made a bloody road and emerged... just relying on not being afraid of death Dare to fight! Those Vietnamese were so arrogant here! Those local Chinese gangs, with so many people and so many influences, didn’t dare to stand out, and everyone was like a coward! But we were not afraid! At that time, Who would have thought that if we can fight well but not fight... let’s fight first! Even if we get bruised, let people know how powerful we are!"
After saying this, Master Ba looked at me and sighed: "Xiao Wu, you are fine, really fine..."
But I don't know why, I feel that Ba Ye's tone is a bit deep, even... a little helpless and regretful.
…
"What's this?"
The next day, Tiger called me out of the room early in the morning. He took me to a room behind the garage, which was a very simple conference room with only a few broken tables, an old big color TV, and a DVD player.
Tiger asked me to sit down, and then he looked at me solemnly, crossing his arms: "Xiao Wu, do you know how strong Sha Hu is?"
"Should be good." I just told the truth.
Tiger sighed: "Sand Tiger's real name is Luo Xin. He is the son of the former leader of the Luo Clan Association. Sand Tiger is his nickname. The Sand Snake you killed is his cousin. They Luo There are only two men in the direct line of the family. Now Sha Hu is the boss of the Luo Family Clan Association, but do you know what he was doing before?"
His expression was dignified, and his tone was slow: "The Luo Family Clan Association is not the most powerful in the Chinatown Chinese Gang, but it is recognized that the thugs in the Luo Family Family Association are the strongest! And Sha Hu is the Luo Family Clan Association. The 'Double Bonus Red Stick' in the club!"
Double bonus stick
My heart skipped a beat and my eyes narrowed...
Normally speaking, many traditional Chinese gangs have traditional colors. In the traditional Chinese underworld, in the slang of the underworld, the members of the gang are called by code names.
So far, the most popular set of rules is the Hongmen's set of rules. In fact, that set of rules is not only used by the Hongmen, but almost most of the Chinese gangs are using that set of rules.
The biggest in the gang is of course the "Zuoguan", also known as the leader for short. There are some old people below who act as elders, the so-called "Second Route Marshals", but the Second Route Marshals have no actual power, only status respect. For the rest, there is the military, which is commonly known as the "white paper fan", and at the bottom, it is the "red stick"!
The so-called red sticks are the gold-medal thugs selected from the many gang members in each gang! Only those whose strength is recognized as strong in the gang can be called "red sticks"! It is called "four two six" in black dialect, which means that four times twenty-six plus four is exactly equal to one hundred and eight, which is in line with the number of one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan. It is said that Wu Song, a hero in Liangshan, holds a red stick, so it has become a tradition to call the gold medalist a "red stick".
And the double bonus red stick is recognized as the most powerful among those "red sticks"! That is, the gold medalist selected from among the gold medalists!
"In Canada's Chinatown, there used to be an old tradition. Every year after the traditional Lantern Festival, some traditional activities will be held, such as lion dances. In addition, there will be a kind of internal discussion among Chinese gangs, that is, various gangs Everyone will pull out their own red sticks, and everyone will fight." Tiger said slowly: "Actually, in Canada's Chinatown, there were no 'double bonus red sticks', and there were only 'red sticks' in each gang. After all, there are big and small gangs, and double bonus red sticks are a kind of honor, and it is not something that can be sealed easily!"
I understand this.
The local traditional Chinese gangs in Canada are relatively scattered, ranging from large to small.
Let me make an analogy, if a small gang with only a few dozen people can produce some "double bonus sticks", but it is only selected from a hundred people, the gold content is really limited! And in a big gang with more than a thousand people, even ordinary "red sticks" are selected from the thousand people! Although it's just a red stick, the gold content is obviously much higher than the double bonus red sticks in the small gang!
If you encounter a scene where a double-flower red stick in a small gang is beaten to the crap by an ordinary red stick in a big gang...wouldn't it seem that the title "double-flower red stick" is too cheap and worthless
Therefore, in the local Chinatown, in all the Chinese gangs, there is no title of "double flower red stick"! There are only red sticks in the gang, no double bonus red sticks!
But there is only one exception... that is, in the old Chinatown, every other year after the Lantern Festival, there would be a sparring match, each gang would push out the most powerful thugs under them, everyone would fight, and the only one in the end The winner will be awarded the title of "Double Bonus Red Stick"!
And this double bonus stick does not belong to a certain gang, but the "double bonus stick" recognized by all Chinese gangs in Chinatown! !
"Before Shahu became the boss of the Luo Family Clan Association... when he was still a red stick, he dominated the ring four times in a row, and became the double-flower red stick of the entire Chinatown Chinese gang four times in a row!" Tiger said When he said this, his tone was very solemn, and he looked at me: "Xiao Wu, I know you are very powerful, and I know that you are very skilled... But I still think that if you are killed in a fair fight The probability is more than ninety percent."
