Heyday Tea House.
This is a well-known luxurious teahouse in Anrong City. It was built in the bustling area of Anrong City - Bustling Street, but the most important thing is that this teahouse used to be a place where some bigwigs from Wolongtang talked about their affairs.
But today, Qin Lang, Lu Qingshan, Tang San, Han Sanqiang, Shi Jian and others appeared here majestically, and the entire teahouse was also reserved by people from Wolongtang.
Of course, this prosperous teahouse has now become one of Lu Qingshan's properties.
Crouching Dragon Hall and Wuyi Hall changed hands, and many properties that originally belonged to the Ye family naturally fell into Lu Qingshan's hands.
Although the Ye family is still very strong in the military and political system, they are unable to prevent this from happening. They can only watch helplessly as many properties that originally belonged to the Ye family fall into the hands of others. Because although the Ye family controlled Crouching Dragon Hall and Wuyi Hall in the past, on the surface, of course, the Ye family would not admit that they had an affair with the gangsters. Therefore, although many industries are actually under the control of the Ye family, they contribute profits to the Ye family. , but the name and property rights do not belong to the Ye family.
From the point of view of the Ye family, as long as they control Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, they can control the underworld in Pingchuan Province forever and control all kinds of interests produced by the underworld in Pingchuan Province.
Maybe the members of the Ye family never dreamed that Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall would fall into the hands of others one day.
At this time, Qin Lang, Lu Qingshan and others are discussing the future development of Wolongtang.
After a long talk with Wu Minghou, Qin Lang decided to adjust his plan appropriately. He needs to speed up the process of controlling the underworld in Anrong City and even the entire Pingchuan Province.
Because if you want to change the situation of the underworld in Pingchuan Province, you must control it. If you don't have the ability to control the underworld in Pingchuan Province, what change is there to talk about
Xu Shiping hopes that the crime rate in Pingchuan Province will be significantly reduced, while Wu Minghou not only hopes that the crime rate will be reduced, but he also hopes to see the improvement of the social atmosphere and social outlook, and then see the hope of the rise of the nation. However, due to their identities, it is impossible for them to directly intervene in the affairs of the underworld, so these matters can only be done by Qin Lang.
"Lu Qingshan, has your Wolong Hall completely controlled the underworld in Anrong City?" Qin Lang was asking Lu Qingshan about the current situation of Wolong Hall.
"Complete control is not enough, but basically the underworld in Anrong City is under our control." Lu Qingshan said, "The next step is to spread out to the entire Pingchuan Province with Anrong City as the center. Go, and then control the underground forces in the entire Pingchuan Province in our hands. Only when we have achieved this step can we barely restore the foundation of the Gelaohui."
What Lu Qingshan said was originally part of Qin Lang's plan.
Although Qin Lang is only the guest minister of Crouching Dragon Hall, Lu Qingshan and Qin Lang are close buddies, so even if Lu Qingshan becomes the head of Crouching Dragon Hall, he will be the same in front of Qin Lang as before, without any ostentation.
"This is our original plan, there was no problem at all—"
"Is there a problem now?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help asking.
"There is a little problem." Qin Lang nodded and said, "That's why I came to you. Lu Qingshan, do you know how the Gelaohui became famous and became stronger step by step?"
Lu Qingshan didn't expect Qin Lang to ask such a question suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Gelaohui attaches great importance to love and lectures, and the most important thing is righteousness. From the earliest anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, to later participating in the Revolution of 1911, and finally participating in the Anti-Japanese War, there are many The members of the Gelaohui, that's why the Gelaohui is so famous in Jianghu, and it has become one of the three famous gangs in modern times in West China, as famous as the Hongmen and the Qinggang."
"That's right, the reason why the Gelaohui can prosper is because of righteousness. And the reason why Wolongtang has been despised by many people over the years is because under the control of the Ye family, it has turned against the law and completely turned into a black one. Helping blind people, so their reputation is getting worse day by day. Now, if you want to truly revive the Gelaohui, you can’t be like ordinary gangsters who only know about grabbing land and making money, and you still have to occupy righteousness.”
Qin Lang's words made Lu Qingshan realize something, Lu Qingshan thought for a while and said: "Now is not the age of war, how can we take advantage of it?"
"In peaceful times, there is naturally righteousness." Qin Lang said solemnly, "Although we are people from the Jianghu, others may think that we are a bunch of punks, but we can't look down on ourselves. In peaceful times, there are still righteousness. In the hearts of many ordinary people, justice can be upheld and crimes can be curbed, and this is righteousness.”
"Mr. Qin... can I ask a question?" Shi Jian suddenly interjected, "We are members of the gangsters, and we are the representatives of crime. How can we curb the crime? Of course, I have absolutely no disrespect for Mr. Qin. the meaning of."
"Thieves have their own ways. Is this difficult to understand? In the past, since the elder brother's association could hold righteousness, why can't it now? In addition, whoever said that gangsters must be the representatives of evil, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. If what you do is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, it will naturally be righteous. For example, Ah Qiang, in the eyes of many people, he was just a little capable bastard, but now in Xiayang City, Ah Qiang has already He is a successful businessman, has a legal identity and status, and what he does is also legal. More importantly, many of his younger brothers who used to follow him have a legitimate job, so they don’t have to worry about being interrogated by the police all day long , and don’t have to worry about having no money to eat and drink. And the family members of his younger brothers have changed a lot in their understanding of Aqiang, and they no longer think that Aqiang led them badly. Therefore, the former Han Sanqiang represented in Xiayang City Evil, but it is different now. Although it may not be righteous, at least he has won the respect of many people."
Qin Lang's words were reasonable, making Shi Jian nod secretly. Han Sanqiang puffed out his chest subconsciously after hearing this, because this matter did make him a little proud. Successfully bleaching, and successfully allowing his little brothers to live a stable and good life, this really gave Han Sanqiang a sense of accomplishment.
"Mr. Qin, even if we are strict with ourselves and are no longer representatives of crime, what does it have to do with justice? We are not the police." Shi Jian asked another question. Although Shi Jian was also a ruthless person before, if there is an opportunity to become an entrepreneur like Han Sanqiang, Shi Jian will definitely not refuse. No one wants to live a lifetime of licking blood on the edge of a knife.
